Pulled the teeth out. I am very happy with O'Neill Dental Care. Did not feel any pain at all! I had very bad experience with another dentist just a few days ago and I scared a lot.
I really recommend O'Neill Dental Care and I am not scared anymore to visit them again.
I went to South Dublin Dental to have a bridge inserted. This practice was recommended to me by someone else. I paid the price I found on the website, and I think the treatment was worth the money. The clinic was clean, and the dentist himself was rather pleasant. I'm someone who's always going to be really anxious at a dentist appointment, but he managed to make me feel completely at ease. The dentist explained everything before he did it, and I didn't feel any pain during the procedure. As far as dentist appointments go, it was a good experience.
4 Crowns My treatment went very well. No wait and was charged what I had been quoted. Dr Hannon is an excellent dentist. He is very gentle and explained process step by step. I had 4 Crowns done. I am so happy with the treatment and much more confident now. He matched them in well with my own teeth.They look like my natural teeth only 100% better. I highly recommend Dr Richard Hannon for all your dental treatment.
We had the lingual frenectomy done by laser on our 21 month old son. Not many practices will cut the tongue tie over a child of 1. They carried out the procedure without having to put him through general anaesthetic. First class clinic with first class staff. From the very first phone call to the consult and treatment they were amazing. Highly recommend. If anyone has any doubts just go for a consult and they will be put at ease with their professionalism.
I'm very happy with these guys, throughout my treatment they were fast, efficient and professional. I went for an an examination to see if an extraction was necessary which turned out that I indeed needed to go for one. A week after my examination I was booked for an appointment to extract my tooth and during this time the Dentist was gentle and absolutely great. The clinic was nice and tidy, the staff was friendly which made my experience great. I am very happy with the results.
Had eight implants, a few crowns, and veneers. The whole journey took a while as this was huge job; two visits to Budapest, my choice, and lots and lots of fittings and check-ups as they make sure that everything is perfect. Am very satisfied with my new teeth; lost my fear of the dentist too! Absolutely brilliant clinic. Staff is friendly and very communicative about the treatments. Never had a dentist and nurse that were so patient and experts at their job. Budapest or Dublin both have excellent facilities; if you have treatments done in Budapest you can have your check-ups in Dublin, and believe me, they will make sure that you are 100% happy with the results. My journey wasn't an easy one, but their work ethics made it easier, and I fully trust them with any future work I need done.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- American Airlines(AAL) - Get Report shares are up 0.34% to $38.93 in morning trading on Thursday as the airline industry recovers from yesterday afternoon's news that the Justice Department opened an investigation into possible price collusion between the top companies.
DOJ is investigating whether the major airlines worked together to limit available seats in an effort to keep fares artificially high.
The agency requested copies of all communications the airlines had with each other, Wall Street analysts, and major shareholders about their plans for passenger-carrying capacity, according to the Associated Press.
However, analysts at Cowen published a note today saying that the allegations were without merit.
"We do not believe this investigation into airline collusion has merit. Airlines have recently been competing in Dallas, Seattle and Chicago to gain market share, often at the expense of PRASM. In 2Q15, industry PRASM is expected to decline due to tough y/y comparisons and discounting in these markets," said the firm.
"We would be buyers of our favorite airline stocks on the weakness caused by this report. Our top picks remain United Continental(UAL) - Get Report, Alaska Airlines(ALK) - Get Report, Delta Air Lines (DAL) - Get Report, and Southwest Airlines(LUV) - Get Report, the note said.
TheStreet Ratings team rates AMERICAN AIRLINES GROUP INC as a Hold with a ratings score of C. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate AMERICAN AIRLINES GROUP INC (AAL) a HOLD. The primary factors that have impacted our rating are mixed - some indicating strength, some showing weaknesses, with little evidence to justify the expectation of either a positive or negative performance for this stock relative to most other stocks. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its impressive record of earnings per share growth, notable return on equity and expanding profit margins. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including generally higher debt management risk and a generally disappointing performance in the stock itself."
Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:
- AMERICAN AIRLINES GROUP INC reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. We feel that this trend should continue. This trend suggests that the performance of the business is improving. During the past fiscal year, AMERICAN AIRLINES GROUP INC turned its bottom line around by earning $3.92 versus -$8.48 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($9.03 versus $3.92).
- The company's current return on equity greatly increased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of significant strength within the corporation. Compared to other companies in the Airlines industry and the overall market, AMERICAN AIRLINES GROUP INC's return on equity significantly exceeds that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- AAL, with its decline in revenue, slightly underperformed the industry average of 3.0%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly dropped by 1.7%. The declining revenue has not hurt the company's bottom line, with increasing earnings per share.
- In its most recent trading session, AAL has closed at a price level that was not very different from its closing price of one year earlier. This is probably due to its weak earnings growth as well as other mixed factors. The fact that the stock is now selling for less than others in its industry in relation to its current earnings is not reason enough to justify a buy rating at this time.
- The debt-to-equity ratio is very high at 6.85 and currently higher than the industry average, implying increased risk associated with the management of debt levels within the company. Along with the unfavorable debt-to-equity ratio, AAL maintains a poor quick ratio of 0.83, which illustrates the inability to avoid short-term cash problems.

The placenta is essential to nutrition before birth. Recent work has shown that a range of clearly defined alterations can be found in the placentas of infants with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). In the mouse, a placental specific knockout of a single imprinted gene, encoding IGF-2, results in one pattern of alterations in placenta structure and function which leads to IUGR. We speculate that the alterations in the human placenta can also be grouped into patterns, or phenotypes, that are associated with specific patterns of fetal growth. Identifying the placental phenotypes of different fetal growth patterns will improve the ability of clinicians to recognize high-risk patients, of laboratory scientists to disentangle the complexities of IUGR, and of public health teams to target interventions aimed at ameliorating the long-term adverse effects of inadequate intrauterine growth.

The, professor's Cube desjardins is a 5x5x5 concours concours verion of concours the original.
As with the, concour chasse rubik's Revenge (4x4x4), the most common algorithm for solving this 5x5x5 cube is called desjardins the "reduction" method.
Practice much with your 5x5 and you'll get into it!
Solving the centres, centres are concours solved similarly to a 4x4x4, in dates which 'strips' of concours inner pieces are created and lined up in place.Home puzzles » 5x5x5 Rubik's Cube -How to solve the Professor's Cube.There are no parities on concours the 5x5x5 cube due to the cube having actual centre pieces.Building concours the 3x3x3 is pretty intuitive, you have concours to use the same method you used in the case of the 4x4x4 cube.In 2000, hot on the heels of BMWs 1999 victory at Le Mans, BMW decided to celebrate by creating a monster.The steering wheel is also swapped for a sports item, while there are a bunch of new gauges on the dash to monitor the V12 monster concours engine. That time would kawasaki be fast by todays standards, but that was 15 years ago.
Another classic is the.
Under the concours hood, the beaux BMW X5 Le Mans SUV features a arts V12 engine taken from the Le Mans-winning racing car.The opinion Current world record for solving it concours is 38.52 seconds, and it was set by Australian Feliks Zemdegs at the 2017 World Championship.Focusing on solving the 3x3 center pieces and 3x1 edge pieces first - thus "reducing" the problem to a 3x3x3 puzzle, which can be solved using a regular Rubik's cube solving algorithm.We'll have publique to place the two arts outer edge pieces next beaux to the centre edge piece.The weight balance is very slightly front-biased at ratio of 51 to 49, but still perfect beaux for a racing car.To do this we're beaux going to use the same u u algorithm (and its symmetric) and we'll have to take care not to cut up the already solved pieces.While you're pairing the corresponding edge pieces you might find yourself in a situation when you have to swap two edges like marked on the picture.The structube first version of this puzzle was invented in 1986 by Udo Krell, who took a 3x3x3 cube and expanded.First create the centre strip around the centre piece (conventionally around the white centre then create more and move them into place.This puzzle has only one parity case.To maintain a relatively low weight, carbon fiber has been applied throughout the car and inside, the rear-bench has been removed.When edge and the centre blocks are complete, just kawasaki solve it like a 3x3x3 Rubik's Cube by moving the outer layers.Wir verwenden Cookies, um Inhalte zu personalisieren, Werbeanzeigen maßzuschneidern und zu messen sowie die Sicherheit unserer Nutzer zu erhöhen.Pairing the edges is a little different though.Moyu Aochuang and, yuxin 5x5 are the two go to speed cubes on the market today, they don't lock up as often, concours are smoother and have some corner cutting capability.

The mid-century lighting brand is once again bringing you the finest and most of the mid-century lighting pieces that will adorn your design project in no time. The ready to ship list strikes again and Milan Design Agenda will be showing you some favourites for this week. If you're the ultimate lover […]
Italian Design is definitely a famous factor known worldwide for many design enthusiasts. There are many companies throughout this country that provide a diversity of services in that regard. Milan Design Agenda will be continuing to bring you a couple of companies with a couple of interesting careers in design […]
Winter is coming and with it, Shopping in Milan season! One of the best italian architects and Milan best architecture studios, Vincenzo de Cotiis designed the first Aesop Italian shop being influenced by the Brera design district, lively and sophisticated, but also by the building itself – a 19th-century heritage site, formerly home to a salumeria! Aesop, the Australian skin and body-care label, which was founded in Melbourne in 1987, opened its first Italian store in Milan on September 24 during Milan Fashion Week.
The 645-square-foot space is located in Piazza del Carmine 1 in the arty Brera district and its design was conceived in collaboration with Milan architect Vincenzo de Cotiis, who is also behind the design of Alberta Ferretti's Milan store.

Housed in a building from the 19th century, the store's interior is partly influenced by the lively area, featuring neutral tones such as pale peach for the plaster and light gray for the railing and concrete floor. Paying homage to Milan's roots as an industrial city, the colors contrast with shiny metallic shelves, machined brass and the sculptural counter and sinks made out of printed fiberglass.
Aesop, which offers a wide range of facial, hair and body products, entered Italy through a local distributor, but opened in February its Italian subsidiary to directly manage the business. Before the store opening, the brand was present in concept stores such as 10 Corso Como, but has plans to expand in Italy. "The store in Piazza del Carmine is the first of a small series of new locations that we are planning to open in this country," said Matteo Martignoni, country manager of Aesop. "Italy is rich in historical and cultural cities and neighbourhoods, some of which are a perfect match for our brand," he added.

The natural brand just launched its newest fragrance Tacit with notes of basil, yuzu and vetiver in September and has the next product launch in the pipeline. The Blue Chamomile Facial Hydrating Masque, which can be used as an overnight treatment, is slated for October and the 60-ml. bottle will retail for 41 euros, or $46 at current exchange rate.

Recent reviews
Superb 9,0 From 46 reviews
Visited Cape Town early February looking for a reasonable priced accommodation in a private double room. Located in green point an ideal location due to transportation links around the hostel as well as walking distance to the pier. It is also close to some great food joints such as Rocco mama's (Highly recommended), lions head mountain and a local supermarket. The room itself is basic but that coincides with the price as you are not paying a lot for a night so a basic room was expected. The room consists of Double Bed, 2 side draws, Wall mount TV, tall slim cupboard and a separate bathroom as well as a window which has bars attached on the outside. . Due to the severe drought in Cape Town the hostel like to enforce a only flush rule if it's essential and when your showering to do so in a large water so they can collect the water every night and use it for other resources such as gardens and filtering. The hostel have a great way of reaching out and bringing backpackers and hostel users together by organising daily activity boards so you know what is on and use their sister company 'Atlantic Outlook to organise water based activities. Overall a great hostel to stay at whether you're a Backpacker or even a couple looking for a cheap yet efficient accommodation.
I highly recommend this place. It's safe, clean and near to everything. I normally stay in hotels but went for a hostel this time and loved it.
Hotel staff were very nice and helpful in planning excursions. Several nice restaurants nearby and conveniently located between Cape Town city center and V&A Waterfront.
didn't organise our airport pick up like they said they would although did get one to take us back at end. Good room? could've been a bit cooler but we were there at hot time of year. nice healthy breakfast everyday to set you up. they arrange lots of excursions but we had already sorted these prior to arriving so didn't experience them with them

Marine Corps F-35s practice 'shock and awe' strikes in the Pacific with back-to-back bombing runs
Marine Corps F-35s recently carried out the first at-sea "hot reload" of ordnance, dropping 1,000-pound bombs in the Pacific in rapid succession, the service said in a statement.
Marine F-35B Lightning II Joint Strike Fighters armed with a 1,000-pound GBU-32 Joint Direct Attack Munition and a 500-pound GBU-12 Paveway II laser-guided bomb took off from the amphibious assault ship USS Wasp and conducted a strike on a "killer tomato," a large red inflatable target.
After dropping its payload, the aircraft quickly returned to the ship, refueled, reloaded, and set out on a second attack run on the floating target.
The fifth-generation stealth fighters also opened fire with their GAU-22 cannon, which can uses four barrels simultaneously to fire 3,300 rounds per minute. The 25mm gun is, according to Military.com, carried on an external pod on the Marine Corps' F-35 variation, which is capable of short takeoffs and vertical landings on the amphibs, basically small aircraft carriers.
Ordnance Marines with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 265 (Reinforced), 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, prepare to load a Joint Direct Attack Munition onto an F-35B Lightning II fighter aircraft, aboard the amphibious assault ship USS Wasp (LHD 1), Pacific Ocean, August 7, 2019 (U.S. Marine Corps/Cpl. Luis Velez)
At-sea hot reloading is a critical capability that allows for the surge offensive air support for strike missions in this theater, where U.S. forces are increasingly training to fight in contested environments. While the training is not directly aimed at any particular adversary, the U.S. military is focused on great power competition and is training for a high-intensity conflict with China and Russia.
"Our recent F-35B strike rehearsals demonstrate the 31st MEU's lethality and readiness to address potential adversaries." Col. Robert Brodie, commanding officer of the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit embarked aboard the Wasp, said in a statement. "The speed that we can conduct precision strikes with devastating effects while providing close air support to our Marines is nothing shy of awesome. Bottom-line; the F-35B defines shock and awe!"
Chief Warrant Officer 3 Daniel Sallese, aviation ordnance officer with the 31st MEU, said that the troops are learning to "rain down destruction like never before."
Marine F-35Bs with the 31st MEU achieved another milestone earlier this year, flying in "beast mode" and conducting strike missions with externally-loaded inert and live munitions.

Fat cells directly sense temperature to activate thermogenesis
Contributed by Bruce M. Spiegelman, May 30, 2013 (sent for review April 18, 2013)
Classic brown fat and inducible beige fat both dissipate chemical energy in the form of heat through the actions of mitochondrial uncoupling protein 1. This nonshivering thermogenesis is crucial for mammals as a defense against cold and obesity/diabetes. Cold is known to act indirectly through the sympathetic nervous systems and β-adrenergic signaling, but here we report that cool temperature (27–33 °C) can directly activate a thermogenic gene program in adipocytes in a cell-autonomous manner. White and beige fat cells respond to cool temperatures, but classic brown fat cells do not. Importantly, this activation in isolated cells is independent of the canonical cAMP/Protein Kinase A/cAMP response element-binding protein pathway downstream of the β-adrenergic receptors. These findings provide an unusual insight into the role of adipose tissues in thermoregulation, as well as an alternative way to target nonshivering thermogenesis for treatment of obesity and metabolic diseases.

It is arguable whether it exists as a general offence or is made up of a number of offences of bribery. Bribery involves offering or accepting something of value in a situation where the person who accepts the bribe is expected to perform a service which goes beyond his or her normal job description. For example, a motorist being ticketed for parking in the wrong place might offer a bribe to the police officer to ask him or her to tear up the ticket.Bribery may include the corruption of a public official as well as commercial bribery, which refers to the corruption of a private individual to gain a commercial or business advantage. The thing of value is not limited to cash or money. Such things as lavish gifts and entertainment, payment of travel and lodging expenses, payment of credit card bills, "loans," promises of future employment, interests in businesses, can be bribes if they were given or received with the intent to influence or be influenced. In many regions of the world, bribery is considered a crime, and it can be severely punished. In other areas, bribery is more socially acceptable, which can place a heavy burden on those in the lower ranks of society, as they cannot afford to bribe officials in the style to which they are accustomed. Any number of things can be used as a bribe. While money is a classic bribe, bribes can also be more intangible, and they might include things like offers of real estate, valuable objects, or a promise to perform a particular service in the future. In order to be considered a bribe, the object of value must be offered and accepted with the understanding that the person who accepts the bribe will be doing something in return. This differentiates bribes from gifts offered in genuine good will, and also distinguishes bribery from tipping, a practice in which gifts are offered in return for good service. Bribery can be on a very thin line, and cultural differences can sometimes lead to confusion. In some cultures, for example, offering a tip may be considered a bribe, while in others, a failure to tip would be construed as offensive. The complex Middle Eastern tradition of baksheesh is an example of a confusing situation; baksheesh is not viewed as bribery in the Middle East, and in fact a well-established system of bribery exists in some
Middle Eastern countries, and it is entirely differentiated from baksheesh by local citizens. Depending on regional laws, bribery can be prosecuted and punished with fines, jail time, or compensation. Especially in countries which are based on egalitarian ideals, bribery is often viewed as especially offensive, since it erases the illusion that all members of society are equal when someone can essentially buy the favors or skills of someone else with the right bribe. 2.0 Economic analysis on the act of bribery The economic analysis of bribery falls into two broad categories. First, economics can help isolate the underlying factors that produce corrupt incentives, independent of the strength of bribery laws. Empirical work builds on this theory to produce estimates of the social costs of corruption and its impact under a range of conditions. The first section of this review summarizes work in this tradition, both theoretical and empirical. Second, economic principles can help one assess the laws and policies against bribery to see whether they deter payoffs effectively. Private actors frequently make payments to public officials to obtain a benefit or to avoid harm. If these payments are pocketed by the recipient or used for partisan political purposes, most legal systems classify some such payments as bribes and can impose criminal penalties on those who pay and receive them. A few systems, however, treat payers and recipients differently depending on the nature of the benefit. National legal systems differ as to whether business firms or other organizations, as opposed to individuals, can be guilty of bribery. They also differ in their treatment of payoffs that only involve private actors, such as a payment from a salesman to a purchasing agent. In some legal systems, business firms cannot be guilty of a crime but can be subject to fines, and, in others, commercial bribery is a civil, not a criminal offense. Principal-agent relationships are at the heart of any corrupt transaction. An employee or another person acting as an agent for a government body or a private organization accepts a private benefit in return for acting in the payee's interest. The bribe taker may be able to solicit
bribes simply by dint of his or her position of authority or may enhance that authority with threats. The enormous growth in international trade and investment over the past fifty years has been accompanied by an increase in bribery. The newspapers regularly report bribery scandals in the conduct of international business. The World Bank estimated that five per cent of the exports to developing countries go to corrupt officials. It is estimated that more than US$1 trillion is paid in bribes each year. The chairman of the U.S. branch of Transparency International, the non-governmental organization dedicated to combating corruption, has noted that many analysts feel "there has been a gradual escalation. At one point, five per cent (of a contract price) was standard. That's crept up gradually until now it's in the twenty to thirty per cent range". If bribery is a burden to international firms, it is even more costly to the countries where they are prevalent. It has been estimated that money lost to bribery is the largest potential source of funding available to many new democratic governments aside from foreign direct investment. The World Bank believes that tackling bribery can lead to significant increases in national income and faster economic growth and to improvements in quality of life issues such as child mortality rates. The seriousness of the issue has prompted governments, intergovernmental bodies, non-governmental organizations, and commercial firms to control and discourage bribe giving and bribe taking. The U.S. was the first industrialized country to address this issue when, in 1977, it enacted the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) making it a crime for any American firm (and foreign firms which issue negotiable securities on U.S. stock exchanges) to offer, promise, or make payments or gifts of anything of value to foreign officials, politicians, and political parties with the intention of changing policies or to secure the suspension of a legal norm (U. S. Department of Justice). In 1999, the OECD Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions signed by the 30 member countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and six other nations came into effect.
The main goals of the treaty are to prevent bribery in international business transactions by requiring countries to make it a criminal offence to bribe a foreign public official, to have in place adequate sanctions and reliable means for detecting and enforcing the offence, and prohibit bribes from being considered a business expense and thus tax deductible. Financial agencies such as the World Bank, Asian Development Bank, and International Monetary Fund have linked aid disbursements to improvements in administrative practices to eliminate corruption. The World Bank has barred firms which engage in bribery from doing business with it. It has established a program to let firms that have worked on bank-funded projects to voluntarily disclose and has found that a number of companies admitted to paying bribes. The World Bank has created aggregate governance research indicators for 213 countries around six dimensions, one of which is control of corruption. These annual figures provide both a snapshot and a trend line of the quality of governance in individual countries and on a comparative basis. Non-governmental organizations such as Transparency International, through their annual rankings of perceived corruption among countries, spotlight this subject. Many businesses and industry groups have become conscious of their ethical conduct and the need to comply with the emerging web of laws. Consequently, they have created codes of conduct for their employees. Private trade associations such as the Business and Industry Advisory Committee to the OECD and the International Chamber of Commerce have developed anti-bribery programs. Thus, there have been worldwide efforts to address both the demand for and supply of bribes. The bribery and economic growth impact each other both unidirectional and simultaneously. However, the impact of lower levels of bribery on economic growth is stronger than the impact of higher economic growth rate on reducing bribery. It was also found that there may not exist any relationship among these two variables in some countries. These varied findings suggest that unique country specific factors explain the prevalence of bribery and pace of economic growth; universal explanations need to be hedged. The findings suggest that concerted efforts to reduce bribery must remain a desirable policy for national governments, international agencies, and non-governmental organizations. Reducing the prevalence of bribery would contribute to a higher rate of
economic growth and that in turn could further accelerate the decline in bribe taking a virtuous cycle that can contribute to the economic well-being of more of the world's people. Concurrently, policies that enhance economic growth need to be put in place and implemented to arrest bribery. 3.0 Legal analysis on the act of bribery The antithesis to corruption is good governance. The term governance alone refers to the way government carries out its work through decision-making and implementation. Good governance accomplishes the functions of governance without abuse and corruption, and with regard for the rule of law. When there is not evidence of good governance through such qualities as accountability, responsiveness, transparency, and efficiency, when policies are not effectively implemented, and public services are ineffective or unavailable, there is corruption. Put simply, one could conclude that corruption occurs where good governance is lacking. International corruption remains a major threat to the integrity and health of the legal profession in several parts of the world. One of the biggest obstacles to confronting this issue is the low level of awareness of the international anti-corruption regulatory framework that exists to address these risks. This framework includes international anticorruption instruments and associated national legislation with extraterritorial application. The extraterritorial application of national legislation dealing with international corruption is an important element of the global anticorruption regulatory framework that concerns lawyers involved in international transactions. Some domestic laws extend their anti-corruption jurisdiction beyond national boundaries. This gives rise to extraterritorial or long arm jurisdiction, the ramifications of which have been wide-ranging and included legal practitioners. A powerful and developed international regulatory framework to combat corruption in all its forms is now in place. It includes international legal instruments and national anti-corruption legislation that applies to corruption cases both at home and abroad.
Unfortunately, many lawyers remain unaware of the implications of this international anti-corruption regulatory framework on both their legal practice and on the legal profession. As a consequence, lawyers may be at risk of violating this framework by, for example, their involvement as intermediaries in corrupt transactions that would leave them exposed to possible criminal liability. Due to the growth in international transactions, clients increasingly rely on local counsel for advice on foreign legislation and for representation in international business transactions. As a result, legal professionals may be exposed to instances of corruption outside their own jurisdiction. If a jurisdiction is associated with bribery and corruption, it runs the risk of discouraging important foreign investment. 4.0 Ethical analysis on the act of bribery Where giving bribes is a common practice in procuring contracts, a company that does not offer bribes will clearly be at a disadvantage, at least in the short term. It is likely to lose out to less scrupulous competitors in the battle for contracts. Suppose that such a company enunciates its policy clearly and publicly calls attention to the corrupt practices of its competitors. While this would probably be counterproductive in the short run, the result may be to build up good will among the forces in the country that are fighting against corruption, Should those forces prevail, then the honest company is likely to be rewarded. In the worst case, it may be necessary to recognize that there are times when one must choose between immediate self-interest and ethical behavior. Where corruption is so rampant that it is not possible to do business in an honest manner, and then perhaps the most appropriate response is simply to refrain from doing business in that country. If this policy were widely adopted, then strong pressure for reform would be a likely outcome. The situation of employers employed by companies doing business in countries where bribery is rampant can be very difficult. If their employers are among those engaged in corrupt practices, they may be faced with agonizing dilemmas. Participating in acts of bribery may be abhorrent to them on moral grounds and may expose them to risks of legal prosecution and/or censure by their professional societies. Refusing to
participate may jeopardize their careers within their companies. This is a situation where support from their employers societies could be of great value. This position is based on the assumption that ethics is relative to location, and that it would be arrogant to rank the customs of one area of the world over those of another. In effect, it equates ethics with etiquette, or perhaps fashion. But, can the same act violate basic ethical principles in one place and be consonant with them somewhere else? Such values as respect for human life and welfare, fair play, truth, and openness, which are the basis for ethics in general and for employers ethics in particular, are of fundamental importance because they are critical to human society. To the extent that they are violated, cooperation among people becomes increasingly difficult, and human life itself becomes burdensome. This is true universally. It is not a matter of cultural bias, and people throughout the world tend to agree about the basics of ethics. When doing ethical analysis, there are four models that serve as a framework to structure an argument: utilitarianism in terms of actions, utilitarianism in terms of rules, rights and duties, and virtue. Utilitarianism is the process of weighing benefits and harms, and choosing the option that offers the most benefits for the greatest number of people. Rule-utilitarian thought focuses on benefits and harms created by rules, while actutilitarian thought calculates the consequences of actions themselves. The rights & duties model chooses the course that respects what others are entitled to (rights) and obligations a stakeholders has to fulfill them (duties). The last model, virtue, chooses the option that enforces good habits of character for yourself and others. Each model can be applied when evaluating whether bribery is ethical or not. In terms of benefits and harms to the economy, the benefits of bribing credit-rating agencies would have a significant impact. Government would be able to get a handle on its interest payments and pay off debt quicker, without the financial support of other countries. Such benefits would likely reduce unemployment and drastically increase the quality of life for Irish citizens. For this argument, harms are minimalthere is no harm that comes to the credit-rating agencies if no one finds out of such bribery. If discovered, the reputation of the agency may be diminished, but that certainly does not outweigh the benefits associated with helping the citizens.
Another argument in favor of bribery has to do with duties. The government has an obligation to do what it takes to ensure the health and happiness of its citizens. While country enjoyed prosperity for a short time in the early 2000s, the government may have made poor choices that led to current financial position. One blogger claims the reason for the crisis stems from governments decision to guarantee all bank liabilities, a promise that a country could not keep. Doesnt the government then, have a duty to citizens to use whatever means are available to restore the economy to a normal state? If the government has the power to bribe credit-rating agencies to help stimulate the economy, it should fulfill its promise of serving in the best interests of citizens. While there are ethical arguments in favor of bribery, there are also arguments not in favor. Although the action of the bribery may bring more benefits than harms to the people of the country in this particular situation, the rule that forbids bribery brings more benefits than harms in all situations. There are countless historical examples of individuals using bribery as a means to gain power or money that is used for evil; in fact, there are more examples of bribery used for immorality rather than for good. Because of the benefits that arise from outlawing bribery, it would be unethical for the government to use such tactics, even if it greatly benefited its citizens. Although the blogger notes that credit-rating agencies are already involved with bribery, it would not be ethical to allow it in this case because it undermines the functional purpose of a credit-rating system. These agencies are created so that investors have a resource to be able to assess the risk with investing in bond markets. By using bribes to enhance credit scores, these scores become biased and are no longer a useful tool for potential investors. There is no way to ethically justify bribery in a credit-rating system because it goes against the very purpose of why such a system exists in an economy. The most powerful argument against bribery is related to the virtue model. Bribery is a form of corruption that alters a behavior or outcome based on a reward. Rather than encouraging good habits of character, such as hard work and judiciousness, the action teaches individuals to cheat in order to get ahead. By using such a tactic to pay
off debt, the government is justifying to citizens that the ends justify the means. Such examples will likely lead to corrupt behavior within the country economy, because the government did not fulfill its duty of being a moral representation of the country it administers. If the government engages in bribery, business owners, politicians, lobbyists, and other stakeholders are going to do the same act. 5.0 Conclusion When it comes to the level of corruption in Malaysia, we found that there is a disconnect between public perception and what the data says. Public perception as measured by the CPI implies that corruption is rampant and the situation is very bad. But data suggests that the problem of corruption in Malaysia is not as bleak as the CPI score has painted. Thus when discussing corruption in Malaysia, it is necessary to do so with a pinch of salt and not be completely influenced by perception alone. Nevertheless, we are not arguing that there is no corruption in Malaysia. Perception does not arise out of thin air. All that we are saying is that there is a need to be cautious and not throw blanket accusations denying the many good efforts initiated by the government. We have seen many initiatives taken by the government, and many more recommendations on how to tackle corruption in Malaysia. But despite these numerous proposals and initiatives, we are still faced with the same problems. This certainly calls for a pause to take stock of all the initiatives, and conduct a comprehensive evaluation before moving ahead. At the present moment we do not see a cohesive approach where all actors from the public sector, private sector and civil society, sit around one table, with one clear objective of eradicating corruption, to strategise initiatives that will not just maximise resources but also magnify the impact.
