&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&amp;nbsp; To whom it may concern &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ---------------------------------&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;Canonical Ltd is a global organisation headquartered in the Isle of Man committed to the development, distribution and promotion of open source software products, and to providing tools and support to the open source community.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;Canonical&amp;#39;s projects include the Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Edubuntu operating systems. All of those products are developed as free and open source software and can be used , modified, and redistributed without permisson and completely free of charge. As part of promoting ...&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;............................................................&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;[The above was written on a package which I received today. In order not to pay custom duties, the sender has written the above. The sender is an organisation which promotes open source. They don&amp;#39;t have any intention of making money. I know it very well. They just post to anybody on request.]&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;I don&amp;#39;t think it is correct to write &amp;#39;providing tools and support to the open source communinty&amp;#39;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;It should be &amp;#39;provide tools and support to the open source community&amp;#39;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt; No, the way it is written is better. The sentence structure needs a noun or a noun-like word, ie a gerund.&amp;nbsp; committed to&lt;u&gt; the development&lt;/u&gt;, &lt;u&gt;distribution&lt;/u&gt; and &lt;u&gt;promotion&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;. . .and to &lt;u&gt;providing&lt;/u&gt; . . . &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;You could use the noun &amp;#39;provision&amp;#39; instead of the gerund &amp;#39;providing&amp;#39;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;Furthermore to write &amp;#39;organisation headquartered in the Isle of Man&amp;#39; sounds strange. Is it correct to write&lt;/font&gt; &amp;#39;headquartered&amp;#39; ?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;The word headquarter is not a verb.&amp;nbsp; Is it a verb too?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt; It&amp;#39;s not at all unusual for&amp;nbsp;business writers to use nouns as verbs. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;P&gt;This is quite long? Perhaps you need to cut it down a little bit. If you put in too much shameless self-promotion then it is obvious that the letter was written by you rather than your company. Companies tend to take a dry attitude to these things.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;EXPERIENCE CERTIFICATE&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;May 0000000&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;This is to certify that Mr. MH was employed by ABC from 02.01.2001 till 01.03.06. ABC has almost 350 employees .During his final year Mr MH was&amp;nbsp;a Project Manager of the Software Development Section, which has 60 employees.Mr. MH is a responsible, hard working and honest person. The management was highly pleased and satisfied with his performance.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Mr.&amp;nbsp;MH joined us as a Junior Software Engineer in January 2001 and his duties included development using Microsoft Technologies&amp;nbsp;such as&amp;nbsp;Visual Basic 6.0, ASP (Active Server Pages), XML and Microsoft SQL Server. He&amp;nbsp; also took part in designing and documenting the project with UML (Rational Rose 2000).&lt;BR&gt;It is our company policy that we have a 6 month probation period for new hirings but on the basis of his performance and good technical skills, his employment was confirmed within 3 months. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;In September 2001, Mr MH worked in a team to develop a paperless virtual back office system for the UK based company; APL Pvt. Ltd. In January 2002, he was promoted&amp;nbsp;to Software Engineer and his new responsibilites were: preparing the Detail Design Specification document, communicating design with other developers, participating in development by Microsoft SQL Server 2000, VB 6.0, XML, ASP and UML, project documentation and client meetings. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;In August 2002, we won another UK contract to develop the accounting, payroll and financial systems for GGP PLC. We held an in-house competition (is that really the right word?)to choose the team to work on the account. Mr. MH was among top three employees in that competition so he was&amp;nbsp;put in the team as Senior Software Engineer. Now his responsibilities were: correspondence with our UK clients, understanding their requirements, preparing the documents, designing the system, getting approval from the client and developing it. He used ASP and SQL Server 2000. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;In 2003, Mr MH was promoted to Team Leader for a major software project that involved computerisation of land records in Pakistan. His responsibilities were: meeting with clients to prepare the specification document, functional specification, project plan, maintaining schedules for rest of the team members, designing the architecture of the applications and managing the whole team.. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;In October 2004,we participated in GITEX in Dubai, and we selected Mr MH to represent us there.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;In November 2004 we started developing a product named UREMIS and keeping in view the leadership, motivating, analytical and designing capabilities of Mr. MH, he was appointed its Project Manager. He was&amp;nbsp;responsible for the recruitment of the team, monitoring day to day functions of the project, defining standards and processes, supervising and guiding the project team, monitoring and evaluating the progress. He was actively involved in the day to day administration of the activities, appraisal of staff performance, coordinating and managing the overall performance of the staff. He was then involved in presenting the product to prospective clients and won several accounts for us.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Since he has been employed by us, MR MH has shown an excellent attitude to his work, has been a popular member of our team, and contributed to our success. By implementing a continuous improvement strategy he has&amp;nbsp; made his department an example for the other departments. He has proved a good trainer and mentor for his staff. He has redesigned and reengineered the software development infrastructure and procedures to meet the intense and ever increasing demand of latest technologies of Information technology.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Due to his skills, commitment and continued hard work, we wish him success in his ambitions.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;For ABC (Pvt) Ltd&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;p dir="rtl" align="left"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir="rtl" align="left"&gt;The enemy is the &lt;u&gt;downturn&lt;/u&gt; in business&lt;font color="#000080"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp; a downturn in business is when sales / income start to drop.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br&gt;(I love the business casual look for the way it combines unattractive with unprofessional &lt;u&gt;while diminishing neither&lt;/u&gt;.)&amp;nbsp; &lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;Being casual remains unattractive and unprofessional.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;p dir="rtl" align="left"&gt;If you were to wear a smart business suit every day and then suddenly, without warning, turn up in denim and a worn T-shirt, chances are people would look at you&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir="rtl" align="left"&gt;&lt;u&gt;askance&lt;/u&gt;.*&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;b&gt; look at you&amp;nbsp; askance means to look sideways at you - they will not look you directly in the face.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir="rtl" align="left"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir="rtl" align="left"&gt;If you turn in good work and then one day hand in a pile of rubbish, &lt;u&gt;people are going to think you have blown it&lt;/u&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;b&gt; You have failed&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir="rtl" align="left"&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir="rtl" align="left"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;u&gt;You must be blameless, above reproach (that is probably the same thing), honest, reliable and dependable (again that is probably the same thing).&lt;/u&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;b&gt;They are subtly different:&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir="rtl" align="left"&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;b&gt;bl&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;b&gt;ameless = not responsible for anything bad; above reproach = cannot be blamed; honest = truthful; reliable = can be trusted to behave as expected; dependable = someone in whom you can have confidence.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir="rtl" align="left"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="rtl" align="left"&gt;But you do not have to be grey or dull or boring. You can be exciting, dynamic, stylish, adventurous, innovative, &lt;u&gt;challenging&lt;/u&gt; (accept challenges or challenge others?&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;b&gt; challenge others to match you&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;) â just make sure that whatever it is you decide to be, you stick at it and &lt;u&gt;be consistent consistently.&lt;/u&gt; &lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Always be consistent - not varying your behaviour or actions.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir="rtl" align="left"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir="rtl" align="left"&gt;We are not talking budgets here or corporate targets&lt;u&gt;. We are talking personal goals, personal objectives, personal bottom line&lt;/u&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;b&gt; What is being dicussed are goals and aims that are unique/personal to you.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir="rtl" align="left"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It has always led me to believe I am a failure, but I found out the other day that there is a gene for good sporting skills and it is one I obviously don't have. Am I a failure? Nope, &lt;u&gt;just genetically challenged&lt;/u&gt;, and I can't beat myself up about that.&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;b&gt; Lacking the gene for good sporting skills, so have to work extra hard at these skills as I am not genetically designed to be good at them.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;There is not another person &lt;u&gt;in sight &lt;/u&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;b&gt;[This sentence lacks enough context to be sure what the author means, but something being in sight means you can see it] &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;because &lt;u&gt;measuring&lt;/u&gt; (it means comparing, doesn't it?&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Yes - with the additional meaning of assessing yourself in terms of the other.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;) yourself against anyone else is a mug's game.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir="rtl" align="left"&gt;I once owned a motor bike â a rather grand one and I loved it very much. I came alongside another motorcyclist at the traffic lights and looked his bike over. ' That is the one I want,' &lt;u&gt;I cried to myself in the splendid isolation of my crash helmet.&lt;/u&gt; &lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;b&gt;[I said to myself in my mind] &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;He was looking at my bike and obviously thinking the same thing. As the lights changed and we both &lt;u&gt;roared&lt;/u&gt; &lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;b&gt;[they both accelerated hard so their motorbikes roared away] &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;away together I realized he and I were riding identical bikes. Ah, the fickle mind, how it winds us up, &lt;u&gt;beats us up&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;b&gt;[upsets us - makes us worry]&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;and plays tricks. Look at anyone and chances are there will be something to envy, but you don't know what goes on inside them. &lt;u&gt;Walk a mile in someone else's shoes, they say, and chances are you will be a mile away; but you have got their shoes, make a run for it.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The first part is part of a saying: To understand another person, walk a mile in their shoes; The author has combined this with suggesting that rather than merely envy other people, set out to match and better them and their achievements - you have got their shoes, you have walked a mile in them, now run away and keep the shoes.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir="rtl" align="left"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir="rtl" align="left"&gt;No one knows what goes on inside your head. No one knows what &lt;u&gt;lofty heights&lt;/u&gt; &lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;b&gt;[metaphorical mountains - the heights of success] &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;you aspire to. No one knows what you are really up to â remember Rule 40: know what&amp;nbsp;you are actually doing â so you can work on your &lt;u&gt;game plan&amp;nbsp; &lt;/u&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;b&gt;[your own plan for your career] &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;and be doing your job well at the same time&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir="rtl" align="left"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="rtl" align="left"&gt;there is nothing quite like having someone dampen your &lt;u&gt;firework&lt;/u&gt;.&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;b&gt;[firework = fire-crackers and so on, which won't work if they are wet; metaphorically allowing other people to prevent you succeeding.]&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;u&gt;An awful lot of management is having front â being able to look the part, to inspire confidence, to walk your walk. If people get wind of any game plan that deviates from that confident air of the perfect manager they will lose confidence.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;b&gt; The important thing in business is never to seem at a loss or unsure of what you are doing. If you look and behave with confidence, then people will believe you.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir="rtl" align="left"&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir="rtl" align="left"&gt;If you have a game plan of rapid promotion, people will assume you are a &lt;u&gt;high flyer &lt;/u&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;b&gt;[high achiever] &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;and stop giving you long-term projects on the grounds that you will be moving up too soon. And so on. &lt;u&gt;Play your cards close to your chest&lt;/u&gt; &lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;b&gt;[don't let other people know what you plan to do] &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;and keep up the appearance of dedication, commitment, reliability, &lt;u&gt;diligence&lt;/u&gt; &lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;b&gt;[working hard]&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;and stability â even if in your heart of hearts you are planning revolution, climbing Everest or taking over the empire.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir="rtl" align="left"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir="rtl" align="left"&gt;In any workplace there will be a mountain of &lt;u&gt;red tape&lt;/u&gt;, &lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;b&gt;[In Britain legal documents were and are tied together with a pink tape, which is known as red tape - it is a metaphor for over-control] &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;bureaucracy, old rules left in place from previous management regimes â get rid of them all. Question everything you and your team do and make it work &lt;u&gt;slicker and quicker&lt;/u&gt; (what's the difference?&lt;b&gt;slicker = more efficient; quicker = faster&lt;/b&gt;) by getting rid of anything that is &lt;u&gt;redundant, unnecessary, left over&lt;/u&gt;.&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;b&gt;[get rid of anything you feel is unecessary.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; This is the work equivalent of clutter clearing&lt;u&gt;, process feng shui&lt;/u&gt; &lt;b&gt;[ &lt;/b&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;b&gt;"feng shui" - Chinese theory of making a place harmonise with the environment - so "process feng shui" is de-cluttering office processes]&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/font&gt;if you like.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="rtl" align="left"&gt;Beats me, but I had to work unbelievably hard to get rid of that bit &lt;u&gt;of Dickensian nonsense&lt;/u&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dickensian = old-fashioned&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir="rtl" align="left"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir="rtl" align="left"&gt;&lt;u&gt;You won't beat yourself up over them, nor sit in a pit of misery over them&lt;/u&gt; &lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;b&gt;[You will not agonise about them] &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;but you will analyze what went wrong, discuss with colleagues why it went wrong and make a plan to prevent it from going wrong again.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir="rtl" align="left"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir="rtl" align="left"&gt;You are a better manager, more experienced, have a wider spectrum to &lt;u&gt;call on &lt;/u&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;b&gt;[make use of] &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;when you have made a few errors. &lt;/p&gt;

The slaves developed lawsuits against their masters in which, they argued for their right to be free.&amp;nbsp; This essay will talk about three consistent themes from those arguments of the freedom suits: First, the urban slaves who sued their masters in the two countries sharing the common concepts of justice, freedom, and rights.&amp;nbsp; Second, that Brazilian and U.S. lawyers both used Roman lawyers and Roman laws concerning slavery to defend slaves. Even though slavery did not undergo in most parts of Europe after the decline of the Roman laws, capitalist desires there encouraged and grew in other areas in thrill like the U.S. and Brazil.&amp;nbsp; Third, the ways that slaves were treated in different situations in both Brazil and the U.S.&amp;nbsp; Slavery involves the legal state of existing rights to the norm of property rights over things.&amp;nbsp; The laws in the U.S. and Brazil were different from each other and the people were treated differently.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; In the U.S., only planters and private individuals owned slaves.&amp;nbsp; In Brazil, besides the planter class, large plantations were owned by such religious orders as the Benedictine and Carmelite friars, who treated theirs really well. Also, there were slaves that belonged to the government.&amp;nbsp; Brazilian slavery was everywhere, instead of in a few small places.&amp;nbsp; In Brazil the sale of slaves from one master to another apparently was not as common as it was in the US. Brazil was known to have an extensive slavery system.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Slavery in North America was very different than slavery in the rest of the Americas. In the first place, far fewer slaves were brought into what became the United States.&amp;nbsp; Only around 500,000 slaves were brought in, compared to around 12 to 13 million that were imported into the Caribbean and South and Central America. Most of these slave imports to North America ended by 1770, except for a burst of activity by a few southern states after the American Revolution. Secondly, the fact that the English people had little experience with slavery in comparison to the Spanish and Portuguese, mainly said that they really didn't have any past experience. Initially, the first slaves in the Virginia colony were looked upon as workers rather than as property, and some of them were treated much like white indentured servants. The enslaved Africans often worked along side the indentured European laborers in the tobacco fields of the Chesapeake region. The Africans werenât especially valued, either. It was cheaper in the early years to bring in white laborers from England as indentured servants than to pay for slaves. And most whites looked upon Africans as morally and intellectually inferior, in any case.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Brazilâs African slaves were treated as inferior to the white man, whether they were servants or free.&amp;nbsp; Slavery was involved as a legal status, it reflected and included this same act as a part of its essence, which white men had practiced against Africans all along and before any statutes, had decreed it.&amp;nbsp; There were at least three major traditional safeguards, which tended to protect the free Negro against being treated as an inferior.&amp;nbsp; In the U.S. the Negro slaves were treated as products not human beings.&amp;nbsp; Even if a black man or woman were free they would still be treated as if they were slaves.&amp;nbsp; On the eve of the Civil War, the Jim Crow idea was one of many stereotypical images of black inferiority.&amp;nbsp; A white southern man who saw a crippled, elderly black man dancing and singing created Jim Crow. Thomas Rice created Jim Crow, and he charcoaled his face and sang a song and danced.&amp;nbsp; Jim Crow was the stereotype of a black man described in a nineteenth century song-and-dance act.&lt;br&gt;In the United States, State legislations such as the Labor Laws continued attempts made by workers to improve their positions in society, yet dismantled previous federal attempts to improve African-Americans positions through the Black codes and Grandfather laws. Between 1874 and 1896 a number of Labor Laws were passed to lessen working hours, regulate wages, and lessen the amount of women and child laborers.&amp;nbsp; In Brazilâs Congress they passed variants of a constitutional amendment that would permit federal authorities to seize land from slave owners.&amp;nbsp; The law prohibited landowners from holding workersâ documents or using control over their transportation to and from remote farms to imprison them.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; In the United States there were two types of slavery, one the storied domestic slavery of the towns, and the southern country seat, where the Negro was usually feeling kindly treated and loved as though one of the family.&amp;nbsp; This type of slavery was most common along the Mason-Dixon line.&amp;nbsp; The other type was determined by the large-scale enterprises in the cotton and rice fields in the âsouthernâ South, where absentee ownership was often the rule. People become slaves because they are poor, vulnerable&lt;br&gt;and their basic rights are not protected. Lack of access to work, land, education and lack of enforcement of laws prohibiting the holding of people in bondage result in slavery.&amp;nbsp; Slavery provides âemployersâ with a form of extremely cheap labor, which they will fight, to hold onto. The only option is to pledge their labor to repay their debt. Some resort to selling one of their children.&amp;nbsp; People who are enslaved are usually unaware that they have legal rights to freedom or are unable to take action to defend their rights, because of the threat of violence.&amp;nbsp; In Brazil there is 4 different types of slavery, bonded labor, forced labor, child labor, and sexual misuse of children.&lt;br&gt;Brazil never had anything similar to the Black Code and other legal prohibitions of contacts of races by marriage and intermarriage such as were very frequent elsewhere in the U.S. âIt takes a new look at the meanings slaves and masters drew from formal wedding ceremonies and celebrations, and examines marriages between slaves and free blacks as well as marriage between slavesâ(Will).&amp;nbsp; In Brazil a slave who wished to marry first had to learn the requisite number of prayers, understand the confession, and receive the sacraments.&amp;nbsp; Having received consent from Master, he is to be married by the vicar.&amp;nbsp; In the U.S. a slave might marry a freeman.&amp;nbsp; If husband was free and wife was a slave, their child would be a slave; but a slave father and a free mother produced a free child.&amp;nbsp; Sacredness of marriage was more highly regarded in Brazil than the U.S.&amp;nbsp; In the U.S. it was illegal for a slave to marry, own property, appeal to court, or be a witness. Black slaves and free blacks alike could not vote, testify in court against a white person, or marry a white person. Slaves were allowed neither to carry arms nor to leave their homes without written permission. The Brazilian slavesâ marriage was sanctified, had legal rights, and could appeal to court, own things, make money, and could buy freedom.&amp;nbsp; The religious feeling has also favored crossbreeding, and it was very common among the colonists.&amp;nbsp; The legislation and the strength of the public opinion in Brazil with reference to marriage and intermarriage is also important. In the U.S., the slave might marry on the plantation, but the very next day be sold, and separated from his wife and parents.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; In both countries, there were certain religions that the slaves had to follow.&amp;nbsp; Many people in Brazil gave emphasis to the religion of Catholicism with its doctrine of essential equality of mankind and its estimation of racial principle that tends to hinder action.&amp;nbsp; Many Protestant countries influenced by modern missionaries have adopted this position of Catholicism.&amp;nbsp; The Church insisted that the marriage ties of the slave be respected, and that the master never forget the slaveâs status as a human being with an immortal soul.&amp;nbsp; That paralleled the concern of the Church by the active interference of royal officials in matters of slave welfare.&amp;nbsp; In the U.S., the Protestants had eradicated the slavesâ old religions, to control and rationalize them.&amp;nbsp; It was always about race and saying the slaves were inferior.&amp;nbsp; The lack of civil law slave code did not mean that the church exercised authority in the regulation of slavery.&amp;nbsp; The 1705 Law stated that all blacks, mulattoes, and Native Americans, and all non-Christian persons brought into the colonies as servants (even if they converted to Christianity later) and were considered slaves.&amp;nbsp; In Brazil state and religious bodies owned slaves.&amp;nbsp; âThe Catholic Church tried to Christianize the blacks, looking for extirpating a tradition milenar. Even so, the black resisted to the domain of the white culture maintaining their faith, and adapting their rituals and transforming their religion in a contemporary realityâ(PARAÃSO).&amp;nbsp; The Catholics in Brazil treated the slaves better since they thought their souls were equal.&amp;nbsp; They believed that all people could and should receive sacraments, marriage, host, and blessings and also allowed African traditions to continue.&amp;nbsp; Religion was a vital factor in slave life.&amp;nbsp; In the Old South, religion was at first discouraged among the slaves.&amp;nbsp; There was a reason for this, for masters knew that nowhere in Christian teachings were there provisions for enslaving Christians.&amp;nbsp; Sometimes the Negroes were allowed to worship under the same roof as their white superiors, but they usually had to steal away to some secret place for this purpose.&amp;nbsp; In Brazil, however, Christianization of the slaves was an essential.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; In master-slave relationship, intimacy, cordiality and the masterâs protection of the slave were maintained as long as the slave stayed in his âplaceâ.&amp;nbsp; In the absence of individual juridical status, the slaves exercised their social identity through their relationship with the master, attempting to negotiate, within the context of white power, individual or collective spaces of autonomy or social promotion, or even their freedom.&amp;nbsp; His master could liberate him during his life.&amp;nbsp; In the U.S. the ultimate controlling factor, that is, in every relationship between white men and black will be the black manâs status as property.&amp;nbsp; Hypodescent is the practice of determining what ethnicity a child of mixed race is, by assigning it the ethnicity of the minority parent.&amp;nbsp; It has always been the cornerstone of the U.S. racial classification system.&amp;nbsp; Hypodescent does several things necessary for the maintenance of strict and rigid racial division.&amp;nbsp; First, it has effectively arranged the U.S. into easily discernable racial groups â no middle ground.&amp;nbsp; Second, it eliminates African ancestry from the white population â African ancestry that in secret makes its way into the white population is unacknowledged.&amp;nbsp; Third, it discourages intermarriage.&amp;nbsp; This is not to say that interracial sex can involve use or simple pleasure â it does not necessarily mean respect or friendship.&amp;nbsp; âIt is said that the Jews and the black slaves had a secret relationship in Brazil, though it has been ignored by bothâ(Levin). &lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The women in both Brazil and the U.S. were treated differently.&amp;nbsp; In the U.S. the owners raped the women.&amp;nbsp; In Brazil, the women were raped but there was also a lot of marriages between Africans and whites.&amp;nbsp; âWhat he labels sexual, she labels harassmentâ(Baldwin).&amp;nbsp; The black slave women really couldnât say anything the people would only believe the white man.&amp;nbsp; There was a shortage of white women so there was a lot of mixing. Besides the heavy work, the women slaves were forced to assist sexually with the masterâ(Florentino).&amp;nbsp; If a Negro woman had brought 10 children into the world by virtue, her tenth child would become free.&amp;nbsp; Because of their interests in the physical reproduction of human capital, slave-owners intervened in even the most intimate of slave family ties.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; America and Brazil had very different ways to become free.&amp;nbsp; It was easier to become free in Brazil, and the liberation of slaves was widely practiced. There were different rules to become a free citizen.&amp;nbsp; Among the legal restrictions placed on free blacks, there was the 1717 Connecticut Law that required aspiring black business owners to get official permission to open shop.&amp;nbsp; During the Reconstruction period, reconstituted southern state governments passed "black codes" that shortened the rights of the newly freed slaves.&amp;nbsp; 259,000 free persons represented 9% of Brazilâs total free population. âNo one shall be held in slavery or servitude. Slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their formsâ (Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 4).&lt;br&gt;In 1696 the comprehensive code outlined severe penalties for a variety of offenses committed by blacks and excused any whites that caused the death of a slave while carrying out a punishment.&amp;nbsp; Legal standing of African Americans in North America has changed over time, varying according to history and place. As black laborers gradually replaced white indentured servants as the principle source of agricultural labor during the second half of the 17th century, laws were being introduced, reducing slavery as a race-based system to a code.&amp;nbsp; For elderly blacks, this practice benefited the company for whom older slaves were a liability rather than an asset.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; During the turn-of-the-century, the South was funding for education. Education there had been at rock bottom and whites were fiercely opposing African-American schooling.&amp;nbsp; By 1867, schools had been set up in even the most remote counties of each of the confederate states.&amp;nbsp; Most children never had the opportunity to attend school with any regularity, since they begin working in the fields around the age of ten or twelve. âA child cannot be taught by anyone who despises him, and a child cannot afford to be fooledâ(Baldwin).&amp;nbsp; Girls were more likely to get a formal education than boys were, because of the greater demand for male field labor. African-Americans have had a respect for education since the first communities of black slaves were established in this country. Slaves and their teachers assumed frightening risks when they created secret schools where a few blacks could learn to read.&amp;nbsp; By the 1830s, it was a criminal offense in most Southern states to teach a slave to read or write.&amp;nbsp; âEducation is indoctrination if you're white - subjugation if you're blackâ(Baldwin).&amp;nbsp; There is an unbroken historical link between the newly freed slaves who fought for universal state-supported public schools in the South and the black mothers and fathers who from the 1950s through the 1980s sent their children in search of a better education on foot and in school buses into the teeth of hostile and sometimes violent white resistance.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; In the 20th century, most blacks in the South remained bound to whites as sharecroppers or tenant farmers. Few blacks owned, or even managed to rent land, so they remained poverty-stricken and propertyless, both dependent on and subordinate to whites. Even then, complained one planter, sharecropping "is wrong policy; it makes the laborer too independent; he becomes a partner, and has a right to be consulted."&amp;nbsp; In Brazil, some of the slaves were able to own their own land.&amp;nbsp; When blacks were freed in America, they really didnât have much to do since all they knew was to work in the fields.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Much more research needs to be done concerning the concepts of race, laws and ethnicity in the United States and Brazil.&amp;nbsp; Research, which ignores the class-like properties of racial classification and definition, overlooks a significant part of the social landscape of Brazil and the U.S.&lt;br&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Please Send me the Detailed Experience Letter format for S/W Developer</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/SendDetailedExperienceLetterFormat-Developer/3/dqhwd/Post.htm#331333</link><pubDate>Tue, 20 Feb 2007 12:40:37 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:331333</guid><dc:creator>Anonymous</dc:creator><description>&lt;P&gt;Format 1:&lt;BR&gt;======&amp;gt;&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Whom it may concern&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;This is to certify that Mr. MH was employed by ABC from 02.01.2001 till 01.03.06. ABC has almost 350 employees .During his final year Mr MH was a Project &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Manager of the Software Development Section, which has 60 employees.Mr. MH is a responsible, hard working and honest person. The management was &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;highly pleased and satisfied with his performance.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Mr. MH joined us as a Junior Software Engineer in January 2001 and his duties included development using Microsoft Technologies such as Visual Basic 6.0, &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;ASP (Active Server Pages), XML and Microsoft SQL Server. He&amp;nbsp; also took part in designing and documenting the project with UML (Rational Rose 2000).&lt;BR&gt;It is our company policy that we have a 6 month probation period for new hirings but on the basis of his performance and good technical skills, his &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;employment was confirmed within 3 months. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;In September 2001, Mr MH worked in a team to develop a paperless virtual back office system for the UK based company; APL Pvt. Ltd. In January 2002, he &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;was promoted to Software Engineer and his new responsibilites were: preparing the Detail Design Specification document, communicating design with &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;other developers, participating in development by Microsoft SQL Server 2000, VB 6.0, XML, ASP and UML, project documentation and client meetings. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;In August 2002, we won another UK contract to develop the accounting, payroll and financial systems for GGP PLC. We held an in-house competition (is that &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;really the right word?)to choose the team to work on the account. Mr. MH was among top three employees in that competition so he was put in the team as &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Senior Software Engineer. Now his responsibilities were: correspondence with our UK clients, understanding their requirements, preparing the documents, &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;designing the system, getting approval from the client and developing it. He used ASP and SQL Server 2000. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;In 2003, Mr MH was promoted to Team Leader for a major software project that involved computerisation of land records in Pakistan. His responsibilities &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;were: meeting with clients to prepare the specification document, functional specification, project plan, maintaining schedules for rest of the team members, &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;designing the architecture of the applications and managing the whole team.. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;In October 2004,we participated in GITEX in Dubai, and we selected Mr MH to represent us there.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;In November 2004 we started developing a product named UREMIS and keeping in view the leadership, motivating, analytical and designing capabilities of &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Mr. MH, he was appointed its Project Manager. He was responsible for the recruitment of the team, monitoring day to day functions of the project, defining &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;standards and processes, supervising and guiding the project team, monitoring and evaluating the progress. He was actively involved in the day to day &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;administration of the activities, appraisal of staff performance, coordinating and managing the overall performance of the staff. He was then involved in &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;presenting the product to prospective clients and won several accounts for us.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Since he has been employed by us, MR MH has shown an excellent attitude to his work, has been a popular member of our team, and contributed to our &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;success. By implementing a continuous improvement strategy he has&amp;nbsp; made his department an example for the other departments. He has proved a good &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;trainer and mentor for his staff. He has redesigned and reengineered the software development infrastructure and procedures to meet the intense and ever &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;increasing demand of latest technologies of Information technology.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Due to his skills, commitment and continued hard work, we wish him success in his ambitions.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR&gt;I have come across very few HR departments os small-medium sized companies who have enough time to write experience letters so they ask for the text, &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;modify it if they feel necessary, print and sign it &lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;yes it did happen. Actually it was outsourcing contract and our client wanted to test the people who were going to work for them. So basically the test was &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;conducted online by our client. Do you think that this point is giving negative sense to the company?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;In October 2004,we participated in GITEX in Dubai, and we selected Mr MH to represent us there. &lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;This is showing that the company pariticipated GITEX as a visitor, whereas we participated as exhibitors and I selected to go along with my boss. &lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P class=MsoBodyText&gt;From your university website, I learn about this Bachelorâs of General Engineering, and I am very interested in it. Iâve always had dreams of finishing my education. Program like the one offered by *** University will allow me to do it. The online approach is right for me because it will allow me to maintain my full-time job, spend time with my family, while I can study, take exams and work on my project from my home. The *** program is just right for me.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;B&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoBodyText&gt;&amp;nbsp;This program will give me the opportunity to link my past education and experiences with new studies in the Engineering field. To achieve my future goals I need a good education and this Bachelor program is the right one in order to realize my aspirations. With all my experiences and your Education program I will be able to be more successful on my current job, witch will probably lead me to promotions and better life for me and my family.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;B&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoBodyText&gt;To support my motivation, I would like to introduce myself. I am a determinate person who always fights hard to achieve my goals. I am independent, intuitive, and calm under pressure and have good interpersonal skills. I am able to adapt to a constantly changing work and study environment and to maintain a good relationship with individuals also from different cultures and backgrounds. Also beside English I speak two more languages, Bosnian and German. My teachers know me as a courteous, dutiful and resourceful student and my co-workers know me as a light-hearted friend and an enthusiasm co-worker.&lt;/P&gt;</description></item><item><title>Sponshorship letter, in need of help!</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/SponshorshipLetter/dbmlb/post.htm</link><pubDate>Fri, 25 Aug 2006 08:36:07 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:259132</guid><dc:creator>Anonymous</dc:creator><description>Hi there guys, i need some help in writing a propsal letter.

At Smooth Productions, we are currently in search of a sponsor for our new
underage event. Our latest event, Subliminal, is being held at one of
Melbourneâs most well known venues, Publicity Nightclub, which has just
recently undergone a multi-million dollar renovation. Our team was formed with
experience from various underage events held throughout Melbourne metropolitan areas as well as
suburban event nights.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Our latest project will be ranging costs of up to $7, 500 through the payment
of venue, the hiring some of Melbourneâs
most well known DJâs, advertisement costs for passes and pre-sold tickets etc.
and the cost of our extensive promotion team. We propose that we be provided
with funding of up to a few hundred dollars to cater for costs of running the
night or at your discretion, some giveaways along with the funds.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Planned to be held on the 30&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; of September, we endeavor to take on
a new sponsor such as Starburst to join us in our new monthly events. Your logo
and company name will be printed on each of the 10, 000 passes, as well as
advertisement through SMS updates, internet sites and email notifications all
collected through our databases.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;
For further information about our team or for any enquiries please contact
Jason on 0416211200. Thank you for considering our proposal.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Sincerely, &lt;br&gt;
Jason Boulos,&lt;br&gt;
