		Note that there is a marked similarity between the trends in the export of cotton and the rising value of the slave population depicted in Figure 1.
		Whatever the effects of the war on industrial growth, economic historians agree that the war had a profound effect on the South.
		Most writers have accepted the argument of Ransom and Sutch (2001) that the major "damage" to the South from the war was the depreciation and neglect of property on farms as a significant portion of the male workforce went off to war for several years.

	Ransom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ransom is the practice of holding a prisoner to extort money or property to secure their release, or it can refer to the sum of money involved.
		For this reason, the practice of ransom contributed to the development of heraldry, which allowed knights to advertise their identities, and by implication their ransom value, and made them less likely to be killed out of hand.
		In Christianity, ransom is the shed blood of Jesus Christ, which made deliverance from sin and death possible for the offspring of Adam.

		Note that the frequency (f) is equal to the reciprocal of the period (T).
		Note that when the voltage and current are in phase even though they both change direction for one half the period the net power transferred is positive.
		Note that the capacitive reactance decreases as we increase frequency and at zero frequency it is infinite (an open circuit).

	On "Dead Boy"
		Ransom's critics have emphasized the affinity of his irony to metaphysical wit, its ability of stiffening "soft" subjects rather than softening stiff ones.
		This is one of Ransom's most effective uses of Latinate terms with deliberate reference to the root meaning, a practice which allows him to speak with a precision not possible in the modern sense of the words and at the same time with a remarkable ambiguity.
		But on reflection we note that since the speaker is not one of the kin, he can appropriately view the death from detached perspectives, and whatever sympathy he feels may be the more moving because it emerges through and despite his detachment.

	Ransom note effect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In typography, the ransom note effect is the result of using many different typefaces in a publication.
		It takes its name from the appearance of a stereotypical ransom note, with words or letters cut randomly from a magazine or newspaper and arranged to form the message, in order to avoid using handwriting which could identify the writer.
		The ransom note effect may also occur when a web browser uses different fonts to display parts of a web page in different languages or encodings.

		By 1980, the Ransom company had recovered from the 1976 devaluation of the peso and was performing to the satisfaction of the defendant under the distributorship agreement.
		A second promissory note was issued for the remaining $192,837 that plaintiff owed to defendant (hereinafter "Ransom Note").
		Plaintiffs assert that because defendant's counterclaim was based on promissory notes and other debt which had been "adjudicated" by the Mexican Bankruptcy Court, under the doctrine of comity, the trial court should have afforded deference to the ruling of the Mexican court and denied defendant's request to reinstate its claims.

		Speckin notes that everybody sees some characteristic match between Patsy's handwriting and the ransom note, but it is not enough to positively identify Patsy as the author.
		Note that while the consistencies in the examples we are using might possibly be the same as those referenced by Leonard Speckin, the actual examples used does not effect the outcome of this analysis.
		It should also be noted that while we are working with only two of Patsy Ramsey's writing samples, the Boulder police removed writing samples from the Ramsey house that spanned a period of roughly 10 years.

		To me, being able to prove that the ransom note came from her tablet was an incredible piece of evidence.
		Two possible practice notes and one real one covering three pages led me to believe that the killer had spent more time in the house composing the ransom note than we originally thought.
		The note was created to misdirect law enforcement and focus attention elsewhere and was a cathartic act that allowed the offender to 'undo' the murder in one's own mind.

		Please note that the June figure is just an extrapolation from the previous trend, though a glance at the IBC data base suggests that an extrapolation from IBC partial data for June would result in a roughly similar figure.
		The figures in parentheses represent either the reported amount(s) of a ransom payment or an amount demanded by the hostage-takers prior to release.
		Note that the spike in civilian deaths in April 2004 is presumably linked to the siege of Fallujah and that in June 2004 to heightened terrorist activity aimed at disrupting the transfer of sovereignty.

	Victor O. Schinnerer - In the News - Kidnap & Ransom
		The bold kidnapping of three U.S. and two Mexican citizens on a hunting ranch outside Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, is serving as an uncomfortable reminder for Americans of the perils of traveling across the border.
		Seven expatriate oil workers abducted in Nigeria are in good health and their kidnappers have demanded a ransom, a diplomat said on Thursday...Kidnappings for ransom are common in the Niger Delta and hostages are usually released unharmed after money changes hands.
		Kidnapping foreign oil workers for ransom is so common in the Niger Delta that beer mats in some smoky expatriate bars read "Eat a lot - fat people are harder to kidnap." But with a new heavily armed group having masterminded numerous attacks and two mass kidnappings already this year, it is no joking matter.

		Claims alleging that the directors and officers of a firm failed to exercise their duties properly can arise from foreign operations as easily as from the U.S. It is important to determine whether U.S.-based directors and officers (DandO) insurance covers actions in foreign countries.
		Kidnapping, ransom and extortion may have a higher probability of happening in some foreign countries.
		Note: One very important consideration is whether coverage applies if a kidnapping occurs in a covered location, but the victim is then taken to an excluded location.

		One attempt to solve the problem was a post-competition project, especially commissioned to Withers, which envisioned a new bridge and entrance some distance northwest of the existing Ford Street bridge.
