fourth generation Successor Ford Taurus fifth generation The Ford Five Hundred is a fullsize car that was produced by Ford from the 2005 to 2007 model years Deriving its name from the Ford Fairlane 500 and Ford Galaxie 500 popularized during the late 1950s and early 1960s the Five Hundred was introduced alongside the 2006 Ford Fusion to replace the Ford Taurus The largest of the three sedans the Five Hundred would also serve as an unofficial replacement for the Ford Crown Victoria in non fleet markets The LincolnMercury Division marketed the Ford Five Hundred as the Mercury Montego slotted below the Mercury Grand Marquis As the Five Hundred was sold solely as a fourdoor sedan the role of the Ford Taurus station wagon was taken over by the Ford Freestyle repackaged as a crossover SUV The Ford Five HundredMercury Montego were based upon the Volvoderived Ford D3 platform marking the introduction of the first completely new fullsize Ford since 1979 For the first time ever a Ford fullsize sedan was produced without rearwheel drive The Five HundredMontego utilize a standard frontwheel drive configuration an electrohydraulic Haldex allwheel drive system is optional Styled by Ford Chief Designer George Bucher under the direction of Ford Vice President of Design J Mays the Ford Five Hundred made its debut at the 2004 North American International Auto Show in Detroit The Five Hundred was produced alongside the Montego and Freestyle at Chicago Assembly in Chicago Illinois Outside of the United States and Canada the Ford Five Hundred was marketed in Mexico South Korea and the Middle East During a planned midcycle facelift for the 2008 model year the Five HundredMontego nameplates were replaced with the Ford TaurusMercury Sable nameplates under the direction of Ford CEO Alan Mulally While the Five Hundred name would remain in Mexico and the Middle East the fifthgeneration Ford Taurus was produced from 2007 to 2009 The Ford Freestyle crossover SUV was merged into the

Volvo Cars and its addition to Premier Automotive Group Ford Motor Company expanded on its vehicle safety technology capabilities In 2000 the Ford Prodigy concept car was shown A 72MPG dieselelectric hybrid designed as part of the Partnership for a New Generation of Vehicles the Prodigy would introduce much of the exterior styling of the Five Hundred it was also the first Ford to use the horizontal threebar grille which made its production debut on the 2006 Ford Fusion The Ford Five Hundred entered production on July 12 2004 at Chicago Assembly the previous assembly site of the Ford Taurus and became available to the public in September 2004 Total Vehicle Geometry The Ford Five HundredMercury Montego were engineered with a quality control system named Total Vehicle Geometry TVG Designed by Volvo TVG is heavily computerbased allowing for designers engineers and suppliers access for all data and results related to prototypes at all stages of the design process With improved participation and access fit and finish increased on prototype parts decreasing the time needed for preliminary production vehicles so called pilot vehicles Overview Ford Five Hundred rear 34 Chassis The Ford Five Hundred is based on the Ford D3 platform shared with the Mercury Montego and Ford Freestyle An evolution of the Volvo P2 platform used in the Volvo S80 the platform marked the shift to frontwheel drive in fullsize Ford sedans a Haldex allwheel drive system based on that used on the Volvo S80 and XC90 was optional in all versions of the Ford Five Hundred or Mercury Montego Along with Haldex AWD several Volvo design features were incorporated into the structure of the Five Hundred including a modified version of Side Impact Protection System SIPS from Volvo channeling impact forces around the passenger compartment the front frame rails were redesigned to better absorb impact forces Alongside standard dual front airbags the Five Hundred was available with both side airbags and curtain airbags as an option For the first time in a fullsize Ford sedan the Ford Five Hundred featured independent suspension for both front and rear axles with MacPherson strut front suspension and a multilink rear axle with coilover shocks both axles were fitted with stabilizer bars As with the Ford Crown Victoria the Five Hundred was configured with fourwheel antilock disc brakes 125inch front 13inch rear The Ford Five HundredMercury Montego were powered by a single engine shared with the Ford Taurus a 203 hp 30L Duratec V6 paired with a 6speed Aisin automatic transmission for frontwheel drive versions or a ZF CVT for AWD Body A distinguishing feature of the Ford Five Hundred is its tall exterior height at 615 inches tall it was over 5 inches taller than the Ford Taurus sold alongside it A key feature driving the use of the tall body design was the upward movement of the Hpoint hip point As with the firstgeneration Ford Focus the seats of the Five Hundred were positioned relatively high from the floor providing an upright seating position and improved visibility access and egress In addition the rear seat was positioned higher than the front seats The Ford Five Hundred was the first fullsize Ford sedan to feature a folding rear seat to supplement the 21 cubic foot trunk larger than the Lincoln Town Car With the option of a folding front passenger seat a Five Hundred was able to carry objects up to ten feet long inside the vehicle While visibility was one factor behind the higher seating position safety was another as well Derived from the Volvo Side Impact Protection System SIPS a hydroformed crosscar steel beam underneath the front seats was welded between the Bpillars directly below an identical beam above the Bpillars George Bucher Fords chief designer said it was a challenge to sculpt a Fordstyled body around a Volvo chassis and added that designers used what he calls plainer surfaces with taut lines to give the car a modern look without losing its passengercar proportions Trim Three trim lines were offered SE SEL and Limited An all wheel drive system was available across the range Base prices start at US 22795 for a frontwheel drive SE and range to US28495 for an allwheel drive Limited Interiors on SEL and Limited trim levels featured a new hydrographic system for applying wood appliqués Revisions During its production run the Ford Five Hundred saw relatively few changes For 2006 a new navigation radio made by Pioneer featuring Sirius Satellite Radio became an option traction control was now changed to an option on frontwheel drive models from standard A midyear running change removed the exterior doorside trim molding on all trim levels in favor of a small sill molding at the bottom edge of the door The 2007 Five Hundred remained unchanged with the SE model discontinued All versions built after September 4 2006 have side airbags as standard along with curtain airbags marketed as the Safety Canopy The powertrain warranty was revised to 5 years 60000mile 97000 km A new Chrome Package became available with 18inch eightspoke alloy wheels and a chrome trim mesh grille Discontinuation Wikinews has related news Ford Taurus to be revived 2008 Ford Five Hundred concept Upon direction of Ford CEO Alan Mulally this was renamed the Ford Taurus before its production The Five Hundred ended production on April 12 2007 as did the Mercury Montego and Ford Freestyle For the 2007 North American International Auto Show Ford introduced a midcycle 2008 update of the Five Hundred and Montego the new sedans had front and rear fascia styling new interiors and new powertrains with a 263hp 35L V6 and a new 6speed automatic transmission Although the changes were positively received Ford CEO Alan Mullaly chose to rename all three D3 platform cars with the Five Hundred and Montego becoming the fifthgeneration Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable the similarly updated Ford Freestyle continued as the Ford Taurus X Although the Taurus had been out of retail markets since 2006 the Sable since 2005 Mullaly cited the larger brand familiarity of the TaurusSable nameplates as the reason for the renaming of the two D3 sedans For the 2010 model year the Ford Taurus underwent a complete redesign Although retaining the D3 chassis the exterior was completely changed to add more aggressive styling As the Mercury brand was being phased out in 2010 2009 marked the final year of the Sable nameplate Sales Calendar Year American sales 2004 14106 2005 107932 2006 84218 2007 35146 Variants Mercury Montego Ford Freestyle SE Alongside the Ford Five Hundred several versions of the D3 platform were marketed by Ford Motor Company with all variants produced in the same Chicago assembly facility Mercury Montego The Mercury division sold the Ford Five Hundred as the Mercury Montego slotted in between the Grand Marquis and the Milan replacing the Sable For the first time since 1979 Mercury sold a completely new fullsize car and two fullsize Mercury sedans for the first time since 1974 While largely distinguished from the Five Hundred by its standard HID headlights and LED taillights the largest set of LED taillights ever introduced on a Ford vehicle at the time the Montego also differs from the Five Hundred in its monochomatic exterior satin aluminum trim and twotone interior with blacktoned wood trim As with the Five Hundred the Montego was produced in front and allwheel drive configurations sharing the same powertrains In contrast Mercury sold the Montego in two trim levels Luxury and Premier Ford Freestyle In its development as one of the vehicles to replace the Ford Taurus the model lineup of the Five HundredMontego was reduced to the fourdoor sedan exclusively While not deleted the role of the TaurusSable station wagon would change as it was repackaged as a functionally similar crossover SUV replacing the longrunning thirdrow jumpseat with a forwardfacing folding third row Slotted in between the Ford Explorer and Ford Expedition in its exterior footprint the Ford Freestyle was fitted solely with a 30L V6 engine and a continuously variable transmission CVT In its exterior design the Freestyle borrowed elements from several vehicles including the Explorer and Escape In place of the luxury sedan interior of the Five HundredMontego the Freestyle was designed with a modelspecific interior While the Freestyle would serve as the basis for the Mercury Meta One concept vehicle no Mercury version was ever produced beyond the prototype stage Reception During its production the Ford Five Hundred would attract a high degree of attention by automotive industry critics over its controversial styling Intended as guiltfree luxury several reviewers have noted its close resemblance to Volkswagen and Audi sedans along with the lack of brand differentiation between the Ford Five Hundred and Mercury Montego Others criticized its conservative exterior styling likely to only appeal to older buyers While the Five Hundred would attract attention for its high interior volume design functionality value and large number of safety features along with its styling many reviewers criticized the performance of the 30L V6 engine and CVT transmission in comparison to other vehicles Ford designer J Mays said I dont think the Five Hundred or Freestyle was one of my brighter moments in Ford but designing a car is not a solo effort and a lot of people have input on the kind of product they want Ive been at the company 13 years and Ive been through five CEOs Some of those CEOs have had more conservative tastes than others Mays later conceded of the Five Hundreds styling Its just lacking in the emotional appeal that we should have put into it We were being good team players and we did our best to wrap what was a bestinclass package with sheetmetal and we ended up with a car I think that compromised itself in terms of style But we will never make that mistake again In fact we havent made a mistake like that since we did it I think of all the cars Ive designed in my career I regret not pushing harder on that car References Ford Five Hundred Car News and Reviews Fanfare for

Friedman doctrine From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia This article needs additional citations for verification Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources Unsourced material may be challenged and removed September 2017 Learn how and when to remove this template message Milton Friedman takes a shareholder approach to social responsibility This approach views shareholders as the economic engine of the organization and the only group to which the firm must be socially responsible As such the goal of the firm is to maximize profits and return a portion of those profits to shareholders as a reward for the risk they took in investing in the firm He advocates that the shareholders can then decide for themselves what social initiatives to take part in rather than having their appointed executive whom they appointed for business reasons decide for them Overview Friedman argued that a company should have no social responsibility to the public or society because its only concern is to increase profits for itself and for its shareholders and that the shareholders in their private capacity are the ones with the social responsibility He wrote about this concept in his book Capitalism and Freedom In it he states that when companies concern themselves with the community rather than focusing on profits it leads to totalitarianism In the book Friedman writes There is one and only one social responsibility of business to use its resources and engage in activities designed to increase its profits so long as it stays within the rules of the game which is to say engages in open and free competition without deception or fraud The idea of the stockholder theory some argue is inconsistent with the idea of corporate social responsibility at the cost of the stakeholder For example a company donating services or goods to help those hurt in a natural disaster in some ways may be considered not taking action in the best interest of the shareholder Instead Friedman argues that shareholders should themselves decide how much and to whom they would like to make donations Some may argue that goods provided to society in a time of need build further allegiance to a corporation and in theory meet the stockholder theorys requirement to look in the best interest of the stockholder The Friedman doctrine is controversial In leftwing social activist Naomi Klein s book The Shock Doctrine she criticizes the theory saying most citizens become impoverished while corporate elites gain enormous wealth References Archived copy Archived from the original on 20101204 Retrieved 20090216 Friedman Fulton 13 September 1970 A Friednzan doctrine Selectnytimescom Retrieved 3 September 2017 via NYTimescom The Social Responsibility of Business is to Increase its Profits by Milton Friedman Coloradoedu Retrieved 3 September 2017 Stout Lynn The Shareholder Value Myth Scholarshiplawcornelledu Retrieved 3 September 2017 Archived copy Archived from the original on 20121013 Retrieved 20170828 Categories Ethics Shareholders

Garrett Brock Trapnell From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia Garrett Brock Trapnell Born January 31 1938 Brockton Massachusetts USA Died September 7 1993 aged 55 Springfield Missouri USA Criminal charge Hijacking of an aircraft kidnapping and armed robbery conspiracy to commit kidnapping and escape from custody Penalty Life imprisonment for hijacking concurrent five years to life for armed robbery consecutive 15 years for kidnapping conspiracy Garrett Brock Trapnell January 31 1938 September 7 1993 was a con man bank robber and aircraft hijacker of the 1960s and early 1970s Trapnell robbed a string of banks in Canada frequently posed as an agent of the Central Intelligence Agency masterminded a 100000 jewelry store heist in Freeport Bahamas and simultaneously maintained marriages with at least six women When arrested for his crimes he frequently feigned madness and successfully used the insanity defense to be committed to mental institutions from which he would later escape or be released on the grounds that he was no longer dangerous While serving life imprisonment for the hijacking of a passenger airliner in 1972 he was the subject of a book The Fox Is Crazy Too written by journalist Eliot Asinof A lifelong smoker he died at the United States Medical Center for Federal Prisoners in Springfield Missouri after developing emphysema Hijacking and trial On January 28 1972 Trapnell using a 45 caliber pistol he had smuggled aboard inside a plaster cast on his arm hijacked TWA Flight 2 on a flight from Los Angeles to New York while over Chicago Trapnell demanded 306800 in cash to recoup the loss of a recent court case the release of Angela Davis as well as that of a friend of his who was also imprisoned and a formal pardon from President Richard Nixon The FBI was able to retake the aircraft during a crew switch at Kennedy Airport Trapnell was shot and wounded no one else was hurt Trapnells skyjacking came after a string of similar domestic incidents especially Cubabound hijackings and was directly responsible for an overhaul of security procedures by the Federal Aviation Administration that remained in place until the September 11 attacks almost 30 years later At trial he once again pleaded insanity claiming that he suffered from multiple personality disorder and schizophrenia and that the hijacking was actually committed by an alter ego named Greg Ross This position was discredited when the prosecution produced a video tape of Trapnell recorded months before the hijacking in which he had boasted to a journalist of his skill at faking insanity Nevertheless the trial still ended in a hung jury when a lone juror a social worker by profession held out for acquittal At his retrial four months later however he was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment His subsequent incarceration at USP Marion the first federal supermax prison was marked by continued scheming and criminal endeavour Attempted breakouts On May 24 1978 his friend 43yearold Barbara Ann Oswald hijacked a St Louis based charter helicopter and forced the pilot to land in the yard at USP Marion where Trapnell was serving his sentence While landing the aircraft the pilot Allen Barklage who was a Vietnam veteran struggled with Oswald and managed to wrestle the gun away from her Barklage then shot and killed Oswald thwarting the escape In addition to Trapnell another inmate involved in the escape was Martin J McNally who had hijacked a St LouisTulsa American Airlines Flight on June 23 1972 and demanded 502500 before jumping out of a Boeing 727 over Peru Indiana Barklage died in a helicopter crash on September 19 1998 succumbing to his wounds on September 25 and McNally was paroled on January 27 2010 According to Eddie G Griffin an author former member of the Black Panther Party and convicted bank robber who was incarcerated at Marion at the time Trapnell was placed under a no human contact order following the attempted escape and spent most of the remainder of his life in solitary confinement On December 21 1978 Robin Oswald the 17yearold child of Barbara Ann Oswald hijacked TWA Flight 541 and demanded that Trapnell be freed or she would detonate dynamite that was strapped to her body Robin Oswald was remembered by the hostages aboard the flight as a beautiful girl with a serious demeanor who never exhibited any signs of nervousness FBI negotiators were able to free the passengers and induce her to surrender with no injuries or deaths The bomb that was strapped to her chest later emerged to be a set of railroad flares wired to what appeared to be a doorbell Robin Oswald was charged as a juvenile with charges not being announced as is the law in Illinois Bibliography Return of Dr Jekyll New Yorks 9Hour Drama Another

that

all

inequalities

including

those

relating

to

gender

keep

individuals

from

securing

opportunities

and

choosing

from

these

opportunities

to

achieve

desired

outcomes

Background

The

Caribbean

is

made

of

the

chain

of

islands

that

border

the

Caribbean

Sea

and

the

Atlantic

Ocean

The

region

also

includes

mainland

regions

such

as

Guyana

who

identify

culturally

and

historically

with

those

island

The

Caribbean

region

is

made

up

of

many

developing

nations

Most

of

the

islands

of

the

Englishspeaking

Caribbean

have

less

than

a

century

of

independence

from

colonialism

and

by

the

worlds

standards

their

governments

are

fairly

young

In

recent

decades

the

world

has

seen

significant

changes

in

GDPs

and

other

economic

and

globalization

factors

leading

to

increased

inequality

within

and

between

countries

In

the

last

ten

to

fifteen

years

the

Latin

American

and

Caribbean

region

has

undergone

the

most

significant

changes

of

economic

policy

since

World

War

II

Many

of

these

policies

were

expected

to

create

new

jobs

and

greater

equality

Still

people

in

Latin

America

and

the

Caribbean

region

face

unequal

opportunities

in

life

and

different

chances

of

economic

success

and

very

unequal

outcomes

Areas

such

as

education

labor

and

politics

are

just

a

few

but

important

areas

in

which

gender

inequality

is

apparent

in

the

region

Growing

GDPs

and

globalization

however

are

not

enough

to

offset

the

effect

of

gender

inequality

With

the

exception

of

education

women

bear

most

of

the

negative

impacts

that

occur

as

a

result

of

gender

inequality

in

the

Caribbean

region

Labor

and

migration

Women

in

the

Caribbean

make

up

a

significant

number

of

the

labor

force

but

still

earn

significantly

less

than

their

male

counterparts

On

average

percent

of

women

are

a

part

of

the

formal

sector

as

compared

to

more

than

percent

of

men

Unemployment

Unemployment

rates

are

high

throughout

the

region

According

to

the

Central

Intelligence

Agency

CIA

the

unemployment

rates

in

Antigua

and

Barbuda

are

at

percent

est

about

in

Dominica

percent

in

Saint

Lucia

and

percent

in

Grenada

Unemployment

rates

are

especially

high

for

women

despite

their

higher

educational

attainment

According

to

the

World

Development

Report

of

the

fe

male

unemployment

rate

in

Jamaica

is

in

that

Informal

work

Informal

work

as

defined

by

Martha

Chen

is

work

that

may

be

unpaid

or

work

that

is

simply

not

a

part

of

the

formal

legal

structure

Many

women

and

men

in

the

Caribbean

region

are

engaged

on

a

large

scale

in

the

informal

sector

Within

the

informal

sector

however

there

is

earning

discrimination

Men

tend

to

do

the

work

that

earns

high

wages

whereas

women

do

the

work

that

is

considered

domestic

Within

the

informal

sector

women

earn

less

wages

than

men

This

has

important

implications

for

the

region

because

most

households

are

headed

by

women

who

are

the

sole

breadwinners

This

may

also

contribute

to

the

poverty

gender

bias

in

the

region

Informal

work

does

not

provide

benefits

such

as

healthcare

and

are

especially

vulnerable

to

economic

shifts

and

natural

disasters

Women

in

this

region

have

less

access

to

credit

and

other

avenues

that

would

allow

them

to

enter

the

formal

sector

therefore

many

of

their

businesses

such

as

shop

keeping

belong

to

the

informal

sector

Occupations

such

as

inter

island

trade

are

largely

unprotected

There

are

no

assurances

for

healthcare

pregnancy

leave

or

sick

leave

Formal

work

Moves

have

been

made

at

decreasing

the

gender

bias

in

labor

Caribbean

countries

have

put

in

place

minimum

wage

levels

as

well

as

paternity

and

maternity

leave

In

this

region

many

of

the

men

employed

in

the

formal

sector

are

less

qualified

than

their

female

counterparts

and

in

fact

many

are

underqualified

As

a

result

men

are

given

more

opportunities

for

onsite

and

occupational

training

Women

in

the

formal

sector

work

less

hours

and

earn

lower

wages

The

InterAmerican

Development

Bank

reports

that

at

every

educational

level

men

earn

higher

wages

than

women

The

wage

levels

for

women

with

primary

and

secondary

education

are

similar

Women

only

see

significant

changes

in

their

wages

with

tertiary

education

This

is

not

the

case

for

men

Cultural

norms

place

the

burden

of

care

work

and

household

work

on

women

Therefore

women

are

often

forced

into

occupations

that

require

them

to

reconcile

their

home

responsibilities

with

their

jobs

Many

of

the

women

who

are

employed

within

the

formal

sector

work

as

professionals

which

is

a

testament

to

their

higher

educational

attainment

Still

there

are

fewer

women

in

the

workforce

and

they

earn

less

than

their

male

counterparts

Migration

Within

the

Caribbean

region

significant

portions

of

the

population

participate

in

extra

and

to

a

lesser

extent

intra

regional

migration

According

to

the

World

Bank

between

and

over

million

Caribbean

nationals

migrated

legally

to

the

US

Migration

especially

for

economic

reasons

also

has

a

significant

gender

impact

Since

the

more

West

Indian

women

than

West

Indian

men

migrated

to

the

United

States

Canada

and

the

United

Kingdom

Professionals

particularly

those

skilled

in

Health

and

Education

have

moved

out

of

the

region

in

large

numbers

Women

often

migrate

with

the

hope

of

having

their

family

follow

years

later

or

making

enough

money

to

provide

stable

lives

for

their

families

back

home

The

major

migration

of

women

out

of

the

Caribbean

region

has

a

tremendous

impact

on

a

region

known

to

have

notoriously

low

marriage

rates

and

in

which

many

households

are

headed

by

women

Many

families

construct

extended

family

units

in

which

childcare

and

housework

are

split

among

the

women

Migrant

nurses

Migrant

nursing

programs

find

a

large

pool

of

recruits

from

the

Caribbean

Traditionally

nurses

in

the

region

were

almost

exclusively

women

There

are

a

substantial

number

of

nurses

from

the

Anglophone

Caribbean

working

in

the

United

States

and

an

even

greater

number

in

the

United

Kingdom

Since

as

many

as

one

third

of

Caribbean

nurses

are

thought

to

have

migrated

This

has

major

implications

for

primary

care

facilities

such

as

health

centers

which

rely

on

the

regions

nurses

Family

life

The

burden

of

care

work

childcare

elderly

care

and

care

for

the

sick

housework

falls

disproportionately

on

women

in

the

Caribbean

Within

the

region

there

is

little

to

no

provision

for

free

childcare

so

this

burden

has

severe

implications

for

women

Social

norms

permit

women

to

work

for

the

sustainment

of

their

families

but

also

carries

expectations

about

family

life

and

customs

that

favor

men

as

breadwinners

and

women

as

homemakers

This

is

a

surprising

fact

considering

that

women

in

the

Caribbean

have

worked

outside

the

home

since

the

days

of

slavery

through

indenture

and

on

through

independence

These

norms

have

a

negative

effect

on

the

region

because

most

households

are

headed

by

a

sole

female

provider

Family

life

child

care

and

elderly

care

often

shapes

womens

wage

work

constraining

them

to

places

near

the

home

Marriage

Within

the

region

marriage

rates

are

low

Commonlaw

relationships

are

common

as

well

as

visiting

relationships

where

one

partner

lives

or

works

in

another

country

or

at

another

primary

residence

The

general

expectation

throughout

the

region

is

that

women

remain

monogamous

whereas

it

is

more

acceptable

for

men

to

have

multiple

partners

It

is

common

for

men

to

have

multiple

families

Domestic

violence

Violence

against

women

is

widespread

throughout

the

region

According

to

UN

Women

Caribbean

in

women

in

the

Caribbean

will

experience

domestic

violence

Three

Caribbean

countries

are

among

the

top

for

reported

incidence

of

rape

and

all

Caribbean

countries

have

higher

than

the

world

average

for

rape

The

devaluation

of

womens

work

decreases

their

bargaining

power

within

the

home

and

this

leads

to

widespread

partner

violence

Both

women

and

girls

are

affected

by

violence

A

large

percentage

of

girls

report

forced

sexual

initiation

Most

of

the

countries

in

the

region

have

now

fully

criminalized

rape

within

marriage

and

have

added

measure

that

give

women

full

access

to

courts

for

orders

of

protection

Partnership

UN

all

working

to

against

in

Education

The

countries

of

the

Caribbean

have

a

history

of

universal

access

to

primary

education

and

widely

available

secondary

schooling

The

Caribbean

however

paints

a

different

picture

of

gender

and

education

than

most

of

the

other

places

in

the

world

Throughout

the

entire

Caribbean

girls

outperform

boys

during

primary

school

specifically

in

the

areas

of

mathematics

English

and

reading

On

the

Caribbean

Examination

Council

CXC

exam

taken

near

the

end

of

secondary

school

girls

were

both

more

likely

to

score

better

than

boys

as

well

as

outperform

them

across

all

subject

areas

Reports

have

found

that

both

the

education

of

childrens

parents

and

their

presence

at

home

were

significant

in

predicting

childrens

attainment

in

school

This

was

especially

true

for

fathers

and

male

students

who

performed

better

when

their

fathers

were

both

better

educated

and

present

in

the

home

Boys

were

more

likely

than

girls

to

drop

out

before

and

during

secondary

school

Boys

also

had

higher

repetition

rates

Women

completed

on

average

years

of

schooling

whereas

their

male

counterparts

completed

years

Women

are

enrolled

in

secondary

and

tertiary

levels

in

greater

numbers

than

men

Politics

Women

in

the

English

speaking

Caribbean

gained

the

right

to

vote

in

their

independent

legislatures

at

the

same

time

as

men

The

percentage

of

women

who

turn

out

to

vote

is

similar

to

that

of

men

however

women

are

significantly

underrepresented

in

decision 114113 115112 115112 Gennady Golovkin vs Daniel Jacobs billed as Middleweight Madness was a professional boxing fight contested for the unified WBA Super WBC IBF IBO championship The bout was on March 18 2017 at Madison Square Garden in New York City New York It was televised on HBO payperview in the United States and on BoxNation in the United Kingdom Background Following Gennady Golovkin s win over Kell Brook there were immediate talks of a WBA unification fight against Regular champion Daniel Jacobs as part of WBAs plan to reduce the amount of world titles in each division from three to one Team Golovkin spoke of fighting Billy Joe Saunders after the Jacobs fight which would be a middleweight unification fight for all the belts The date discussed initially was 10 December which Golovkins team had on hold for Madison Square Garden The date was originally set by HBO for Álvarez after he defeated Liam Smith but Canelo confirmed he would not be fighting again until 2017 after fracturing his right thumb There was ongoing negotiations between Tom Loeffler and Al Haymon about the split in purses if the fight goes to purse bids it would be a 7525 split with Golovkin taking the lions share due to him being the Super champion As the negotiations continued Jacobs wanted a better split around 6040 The WBA granted an extension for the negotiation period on 7 October as the two sides originally had until October 10 to come to an arrangement or else a purse bid would be due There was also a request to change the purse bid split to 6040 which the WBA declined Golovkin started his training camp for the Loeffler told the LA Times on 18 October that although the negotiations were still active the fight would not take place on December 10 A new date for early 2017 would need to be set still looking at Madison Square Garden to host the fight Golovkin prides himself on being an extremely active fighter and this is the first year since 2012 that he has been in fewer than three fights WBA president Gilberto Mendoza confirmed in an email to RingTV that a deal had to be made by 5pm on December 7 or a purse bid would be held on December 19 in Panama Later that day the WBA announced a purse bid would be scheduled with a minimum bid of 400000 with Golovkin receiving 75 and Jacobs 25 Although purse bids were announced Loeffler stated he would carry on negotiations hopeful that a deal would be reached before the purse bid On December 17 terms were finally agreed and it was announced that the fight would take place at Madison Square Garden in New York City on March 18 2017 broadcast exclusively on HBO PPV Golovkin tweeted the announcement whilst Jacobs uploaded a short video on social media At the time of the fight the fighters had a combined 35 consecutive knockouts It was reported that Golovkins IBO world title would not be at stake but the IBO website later confirmed the belt would be at stake HBO officially announced the fight on December 22 billed as Middleweight Madness Loeffler confirmed there was no rematch clause in place Weigh in At the official weighin a day before the fight Golovkin tipped the scales at 1596 lb while Jacobs weighed 1598 lb Jacobs declined to compete for the IBF title by skipping a fightday weight check Unlike other major sanctioning bodies the IBF requires participants in title fights to submit to a weight check on the morning of the fight as well as the official weighin the day before the fight at the morning weight check they can weigh no more than 10 pounds 45 kg above the fights weight limit In front of a sell out crowd of 19939 the fight went the full 12 rounds This was the first time that Golovkin fought 12 rounds in his professional career Golovkins ring control constant forward pressure and effective jab lead to a 115112 115112 114113 unanimous decision victory ending his 23 fight knockout streak which dated back to November 2008 ESPN had Golovkin winning 115112 The opening three rounds were quiet with very little action In the fourth round Golovkin dropped Jacobs with a short right hand along the ropes for a flash knockdown Jacobs recovered but Golovkin controlled most of the middle rounds Jacobs was effective in switching between orthodox and southpaw stance but remained on the back foot Both boxers were warned once in the fight by referee Charlie Fitch for rabbit punching Following the fight some doubted Golovkin did enough to win Jacobs thought he had won the fight by two rounds and attributed the loss to the potential big money fight that is Golovkin vs Canelo Jacobs also stated after being knocked down he told Golovkin hed have to kill me In the postfight interview Golovkin said Im a boxer not a killer I respect the game Before revenue shares it was reported that Golovkin would earn at least 25 million compared to Jacobs 175 million CompuBox stats According to CompuBox punch stats Golovkin landed 231 of 615 punches 38 which was more than Jacobs who landed 175
