From Boom To Doom To Boom: Offshore Financial Centres And Development In Small States, Richard Woodward
From Boom To Doom To Boom: Offshore Financial Centres And Development In Small States, Richard Woodward
Articles
During the 1990s tax havens and offshore financial centres (OFCs) were subject to a string of initiatives designed to raise their tax and regulatory regimes to accepted international standards. Many commentators forecast that this would lead to the demise of OFCs, a worry for the many small states whose economic well being depended heavily on the provision of offshore financial services.

Microfinance And Poverty Alleviation: A Case Study Of Al-Darb Al-Ahmar District In Cairo, Egypt, Noran Mohammed Farag

The data was gathered using a tailored questionnaire on a sample of 151 beneficiaries.

Is Touch Beyond Infancy Important For Children’S Mental Health?, Melody Whiddon, Marilyn J. Montgomery
Faculty Publications - Graduate School of Counseling
Numerous studies from various fields have established that touch is vital to healthy adjustment during infancy and also during old age.

Behavioral research emphasize the importance of contingent touch in reinforcement of infant behavior (Gewirtz & Pelaez- Nogueras, 2000). Recently, attention has been given to research examining touch in medical situations for elderly populations.
Theoretically, touch should remain important throughout the lifespan, but …
