Freedom Factor PSA @ Artisan Center Theater
Artisan Center Theater Proudly Presents the World Premiere of Gerald Lund's THE FREEDOM FACTOR opening October 10 thru Nov 8, 2014. Directed by DeeAnn Blair from the adaptation by Jen Geigle Johnson.
Nathaniel Gorham, one of the signers of the United States Constitution, took a deep breath and said, “Suppose after we met at Philadelphia and drafted the Constitution in 1787, that the Constitution was never ratified.”
Bryce said, “But it was ratified!”
Gorham shook his head. “Not here it wasn’t.”
Bryce whispered, “It can’t be!”
“Well, it is. You are now living in an America without the Constitution,” Gorham said.
When Bryce Sherwood, rising aide to an influential senator in modern Washington, D.C., is appointed to help pass a bill that will do away with certain constitutional checks and balances, America’s Founding Fathers decide the time has come to take action. At first they try to persuade him through Nathaniel Gorham and through sharp but friendly debates with the captivating Leslie Adams. But when Bryce refuses to change his position, the Founding Fathers have only one option left—they transport Bryce into a world where the Constitution was never ratified.
In this strange world of oppression and fear, Bryce begins to learn the true value of the Constitution and the price of freedom. Will he be able to return to the real world to correct the mistakes he has made?

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The Dutch East India Company (Verenigde Oostindische Compagnie or VOC) is one of the most influential and best expertly researched companies/corporations in history. As an exemplary historical company-state, the VOC had effectively transformed itself from a corporate entity into a state, an empire, or even a world in its own right. The VOC World (i.e. networks of people, places, things, activities, and events associated with the Dutch East India Company) has been the subject of a vast amount of literature that includes both fiction and non-fiction works. VOC World studies is an international multidisciplinary field focused on social, cultural, religious, scientific, technological, economic, financial, business, maritime, military, political, legal, diplomatic activities, institutional organization, and administration of the VOC and its colourful world. Some of the notable VOC historians/scholars include Sinnappah Arasaratnam, Leonard Blussé, Peter Borschberg, Charles Ralph Boxer, Jaap Bruijn, Femme Gaastra, Om Prakash, Günter Schilder, and Nigel Worden.
In terms of global business history, the lessons from the VOC's success and failure are critically important. With a permanent capital base, the VOC was the first permanently organized limited-liability joint-stock company at the dawn of modern capitalism. As an early pioneering model of the modern corporation, the VOC was the first corporation to be ever actually listed on a formal stock exchange. In the early 1600s the VOC became the world's first formally listed public company (or publicly listed company) by widely issuing bonds and shares of stock to the general public. In many respects, modern-day publicly listed multinational corporations (including Forbes Global 2000 companies) are all 'descendants' of the 17th-century VOC business model.
For almost 200 years of its existence (1602–1800), the Company played crucial roles in business, financial, socio-politico-economic, military-political, diplomatic, legal, ethnic, and exploratory maritime history of the world. In the early modern period, the VOC was the driving force behind the rise of corporate-led globalization, corporate power, corporate identity, corporate culture, corporate social responsibility, corporate governance, corporate finance, corporate capitalism, and finance capitalism. It was the VOC's institutional innovations and business practices that laid the foundations for the rise of giant global corporations to become a highly significant and formidable socio-politico-economic force of the modern world as we know it today ...
