Introduction
The IMF report has noted that the UAE has made notable and commendable strides in responding to the ever increasing challenges fronted by the well-orchestrated and resource-rich international crime syndicates. However they have identified a number of areas where the UAE central bank has fallen short of meeting requirements and expectations as can be seen in their detailed assessment report on the UAE’s Anti-Money Laundering and Combating the Financing of Terrorism. The UAE has been described by the IMF as a society where the carrying of large amounts of cash and purchasing goods and property with cash is a common phenomenon. These large scale cash activities usually provide an effective hideaway to criminalized activities such

There are numerous economic and social contributions of the Hawala system, that prevent the UAE central bank from criminalizing the money transfer system in the desire to address the evil aspects that have been associated with the unconventional and opaque nature of the money transfer system. The concerns raised with regards the Hawala system are its vulnerabilities to potential abuses by money launderers and financiers of terrorism activities. Although the UAE’s initiative to adopt a system of voluntary registration of Hawaladars has been internationally lauded as a move towards combating acts of ML and FT, more needs to be done in order to regulate the business and rid it off the vulnerabilities it is prone to. Statistics have shown that only a small proportion of Hawala dealers sought to register with the UAE central bank. This means that there are still many Hawaladars who are illegally engaging in the Hawala activities thus exposing the system to possible misuse by criminals, who, in essence might even be operating the Hawala businesses themselves. Some scholars have to some extent criticized the UAE for simply registering Hawaladars instead of licensing them and regulating the Hawala trade to clean it up from ML and FT. The issuance of registration certificates to Hawaladars on the mere acceptability to comply with …show more content…
The UAE central bank also lacks the legal authority to apply sanctions on Hawaladars who fail to abide by the conditions imposed, apart from withdrawing and cancelling their registration, which might not have any effect as most of them are actually inn the Hawala trade without the registration certificates. Essentially, therefore, the central bank can rely only on moral suasion to bring about compliance with its instructions. Moreover, there is no obligation on the financial institution to identify separately the proceeds of the Hawala activity or to have any knowledge of the nature of the underlying transactions that are being handled by the Hawaladars. Hawaladars may aid in abetting, facilitating, and counseling the commission of money laundering and financing of terrorism. The ability of Hawaladars to provide money transfer services in areas that are note served by conventional banks also increases its usage as a money transfer alternative. Though Hawala as a form of money transfer platform offers a number of incentives, its disadvantage, as a villainous funding platform to terrorists and money launderers raise a lot of concerns on its acceptability as an alternative money transfer method in the present year 2014 and
Terrorist and criminal organization have internal problems that can be exploited by law enforcement and policy makers. Form author Nikos Passas we understand that terrorist organization have a lot of different methods of funding, including crime and charities. According to Passas the best way to combat this is to increase transparency and traceability in economic transactions, which was also concluded by author Jonas R. Want in his article discussing the regulation of Hawala. By doing this globally we can combat the financing of terrorist and criminal groups by having better knowledge of the movement of their money. According to author William Phil’s two thousand and seven peace, following the money is the most powerful tool in combating illegal financial transactions. The argument is supported by an Bichler, Bushes, and Malm’s article that states that understanding the market system in which criminal organizations operate is necessary when identifying the key players and mechanisms used. Overall, strengthening financial transaction transparency will help law enforcement combat both terrorist and criminal organization which will have great affects on both organizations
In his original thesis, Bowlby (1969) never formalized an extension of his theory of attachment beyond childhood, but he clearly implied an extension should be sought. Perhaps his clearest statements regarding this extension involved his suggestions that people change to whom they are primarily attached as they age. He argued that in adolescents it was likely that peers played an increasingly important role in their attachment lives, and in adulthood, people would become primarily attached to a spouse or mate. Only in the last thirty years have scholars made a serious attempt to extend the ideas in attachment theory to adult relationships. One influential attempt came from Hazan and Shaver’s (1987) assertion that the attachment system is at least partially responsible for the adult romantic bond. Indeed multiple parallels have been drawn between the behavior in infant-caregiver interactions and adult romantic partner interactions. Zeifman and Hazan (1997) offer a fairly extensive account of the commonalities in adult romantic and infant-caregiver attachment. They note that cer...
According to the article, the majority of young people will experience some form of emotional or physical reaction after an acute event such as a natural disaster (Powell & Thompson, 2016, p. 539). As a result, numerous children have emotional problems such as feelings of distress, anxiety, guiltiness, depression and anger after a natural disaster event. The Journey of Hope intervention provides different school group activities in hopes of providing a secure environment to offer positive treatment for the children. Thus, the treatment involves three different group work areas which are stabilizing emotions, providing protective factors to minimize risk factors in relationships and positive coping strategies. Consequently, the research was done to determine if the JoH program was beneficial to support children whom have experienced a natural

In the poem Love is Not All the quote “meat nor drink” (Millay, 2004). Means to me that a person can’t live on love alone. A person has to have food and water for the body to survive and love can’t do that. Let’s examine another quote “slumber nor a roof against the rain” (Millay, 2004). these two observations recognized that love will not substitute the need to sleep and love can’t keep you safe from the rain. Another important line “Not a floating spar to men that sink/and rise and sink and rise and sink, and sink again” (Millay, 2004). Which symbolizes a drowning man that goes under water and rises above a couple times. The third time the man sinks in a defeating war and in the end sinks forever into the gulf of death (Millay, 2004). Millay figuratively portraying that in life people struggle and they also have highs. Love won’t stop misery and it won’t stop someone from eventually dying.

Initially going into reading this play, I thought it would just be a traditional telling of the environment, setting, and little information about our protagonist. However, I seemed a little odd that the setting was just describing the scenery of the play itself with curtains and we are introduced to the stage manager for the play. The Stage Manager explains significant parts within the play like, scenery, landmarks, and certain objects. Few pages in, we’re finally introduced to two actual character in the play itself. Joe Crowell Jr. and Dr. Gibbs are the characters we are introduced to. As explained by the Stage Manager, Crowell was a college graduate from Massachusetts Tech. However, there was “the war” came to France. This war being World
For example, Magai & Passman (1997) discovered a strong relationship between secure attachments and emotional well-being of middle aged adults, which extends to individuals later in life. Understanding the role of attachment and its psychosocial impact during later life is an important area that needs further research. In regards to TMT, close relationships offer security, protection, and give meaning to life (Mikulincer, Florian, & Hirschberger, 2003).

Love has been the cause of some of the greatest feats, discoveries, and battles in the history of man. It has driven men to insanity and despair, while it has lead others to happiness and bliss. This idea that love has a strong influence on man’s decisions can be seen in the poem, “Love is not all” by Edna St. Vincent Millay. The most prominent theme presented in “Love is not all” is that although love is not a necessity of life, it somehow manages to provoke such great desire and happiness that it becomes important.
Currently, International system is focusing on issues related with maritime security. Maritime security coxncern with threats that prevail in the maritime domain (Klein 2011; Kraska and Pedrozo 2013; Roach 2004; Vrey 2010, 2013). These threats include interstate-dispute, terrorism, piracy, drugs trafficking, people and illicit foods, arms proliferation, illegal fishing, environmental crimes, as well as accidents and disaster which happen in maritime domain. Thus, generally, maritime security can be defined as the absence of those threats. Meanwhile, there is an argument that inter-states dispute should be categorized as national security instead of maritime security. Thus, there is another definition of maritime security which define maritime security as good or stable order at sea (Till 2004; Vrey 2010; Kraska and Pedrozo 2013: 1). The definition of maritime security from one to another is different as the scope of maritime security is broad and each actor has different point of view on the issue. There is no universal legal definition about maritime security. The United Nation itself only
Love, the single feeling that generates the funny sentiments in our stomach, giving us the warm pleasures in our body, causing us to feel joy, and to believe every aspect in our life will constantly go right. In addition, causing us to receive an accelerating, appealing feeling that makes us want to rejoice. Love can be a speeding of your heart, but it can also be nerve-racking. Our hearts rapidly begin to pump, making a rapid beat— “ba-boom, ba-boom, ba-boom”. Attempting to describe love is a rigorous task, but it is possible. However, the easiest detail to describe and understand about love is the concept of what it is about. Many people may obtain different views and definitions regarding love, but their ideas tend to unite at some point.
Shakespeare asserts the word “painting” to express the youth’s age. The ‘metaphor’ of the end of the sonnet, is compared to beauty and age. Therefore, one’s beauty does not vanish away by the ravages of time. And, beauty will not matter through the “beated and chapped with tanned antiquity”.
