Release on parole or a shortening of a prison sentence are both highly complex issues that need to be viewed from both a legal as well as humanitarian standpoint. While ‘imminent danger to society’ is an integral component in determining if parole should be granted to any convict, I believe that when the crime relates to sex offences, even more care and precaution is necessary. The option of early release should only come in question if and when there are very explicit mitigating circumstances, such as the criminal being afflicted by a mental disease that prompted the action, and ...

The discovery of the “New World” the Americas by Christopher Columbus in 1492 was one of the most momentous moments in world history.

The company should manufacture its medical products in its home country Canada, and allow Europeans’ sales agents to carry out the marketing process.

Further, the manufacturing company will acquire the practice of running and managing its transactions in more than one nation; a business approach which it cannot obtain by producing its commodities in Europe by the fifty-fifty undertaking and promoted by a foreign firm. ...
