Essays On Social Issues
Crafting an essay on the broad theme of "Essays on Social Issues" can be both challenging and
rewarding. The difficulty lies in the vast and complex nature of social issues, which encompass a
wide range of topics, from poverty and inequality to discrimination, climate change, and
political unrest. The challenge is to delve into these multifaceted problems, offering insightful
analysis and constructive solutions.
Firstly, one must navigate through the myriad social issues and choose a specific aspect or
problem to focus on. Narrowing down the scope while ensuring relevance and significance is a
delicate balance. Once a topic is selected, extensive research becomes imperative. Grappling with
diverse sources, from academic articles and research papers to news reports and expert opinions,
is necessary to gain a comprehensive understanding of the chosen social issue.
Next, formulating a coherent thesis statement that encapsulates the essence of the essay is crucial.
The essay should present a clear argument or perspective, supported by evidence and examples.
Developing a logical flow that transitions smoothly between ideas and sections is another
challenge, as social issues often intersect and overlap.
Furthermore, addressing the emotional and ethical dimensions of social issues requires a delicate
touch. Balancing empathy with analytical rigor is essential to create a persuasive and impactful
essay. Moreover, incorporating counterarguments and addressing opposing views adds depth and
credibility to the work.
The task is not just about presenting problems; it involves exploring potential solutions and
advocating for positive change. This requires creativity and critical thinking to propose feasible
and effective measures. Concluding the essay with a strong and memorable closing statement is
essential to leave a lasting impression on the reader.
In summary, writing an essay on social issues demands a combination of research skills, critical
thinking, empathy, and effective communication. It is a journey through the complexities of our
society, aiming to shed light on pertinent problems and contribute to meaningful discussions.
While challenging, the process offers an opportunity for personal growth and a chance to
contribute to a better understanding of the world we live in.

Characteristics Of An Asian Elephant
Asian Elephant
The scientific name for the asian elephant is Elephas Maximus. The length of an
Asian elephant is up to 5.5 6.5m, of an adult this includes trunk, head and the body.
Asian elephants can live up to 60 years in the wild bit up to 48 years in captivity.
Elephants are herbivores this means they only eat plants and vegetables. They spend
sixteen hours a day eating and consume about 300 600 pounds of food everyday and
drink 40 50 gallons of water. Elephants only sleep for two hours a day.Unlike African
elephants, where both males and females have tusks, generally only Asian elephant
males have ivory tusks some females have small tisks called tushes.
Enclosure
The EU zoo directive and zoo licensing act 1981 state that zoos must:
Accommodate their animals under conditions which aim to satisfy the biological and
conservation requirements of the species to which they belong
The Asian elephant is found in the dense forests and grassy plains of India, Sri
Lanka, Myanmar, Thailand, and Malaya.They form deep family bonds and herds are
led by the oldest female in the family, she is called a Matriarch. Herds have about 8
100 individual elephants depending on the land and size of the family. With all this in
mind an enclosure should meet certain size requirements making sure that the
enclosure is suited to the elephant
Ortholog Lab Report
Molecular Biology Summative
Question 1:
Orthologs:
These three proteins have been selected as orthologs as they are all proteins from
other species which have very high sequence similarity to the sequence for Homo
sapiens dysferlin used. These sequences have 99%, 99% and 98% identity
respectively, all with expectation values of 0.0, so are very highly conserved
between species, with the amino acids that are different generally being very similar
chemically and so will likely carry out the same function as in humans.
Paralogs:
These three proteins have been selected as paralogs for the given protein sequence.
There is far more variation between these compared with the orthologs, as can be
seen by the differences in the alignment scores. The first sequence, myoferlin, has a
much lower identity, 56%, but still has a very high sequence similarity with very
few gaps. Myoferlin belongs to the dysferlin sub family which the reference sequence
is also a part of, with this alignment providing evidence for their evolutionary
closeness.
The second protein, fer 1 like protein 5, has 40% identity and a very high similarity to
dysferlin. It is therefore highly likely to be a ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net

There is a high level of sequence homology between the four proteins at this c
terminus end so this area is highly conserved, however there is quite a bit of
variation in regards to which areas are different. Many of the different amino acids
are similar in chemical properties, for example the variation of P and A where both
are neutral and hydrophobic, so it is likely that the protein retained its function with
the different amino acids. However some have more radical differences, for instance
several of the variations are between polar and hydrophobic amino acids. This would
have more of an effect on the proteins as it could cause a change in the structure of
the protein and so change the
Fishing Is Fishing
Fishing had never been a hobby until I considered until this past summer. Fishing
has an importance that goes way back since my great grandpa back in Mexico. My
great grandpa used to take my father fishing to a nearby lake near their home where
they would spend hours fishing for that night s dinner. As a kid, I remember my
family would take trips to the lake or rivers to have a family gathering and a carne
asada. This is where my uncles and grandpa would fish, but at the time playing
soccer with my cousins was more exciting. When I turned 13, my grandpa invited me
to go fishingto Lake Buena Vistathat Saturday morning. I immediately thought
tedious but decided to open up and try a new activity and at the end of the day, I
would have a story to tell my friends. Once at the lake, I asked my grandpa, What is
so cool about fishing and he responded, It s not about catching fish, it is about
relaxing and being away from everything and enjoying nature. Anyone can go to
the market to buy a fish, but can they have the patience to battle one and reel it in?
. As the day progressed we caught a couple of catfish which my grandpa took home
and made soup with. Although that day I enjoyed myself I also found out fishing
was not my hobby. Fishing is for those who have patience and don t dread being in
the sun all day. Flash forwarding to this past summer, my friend Froilan wanted to
go fishing after he saw some YouTube videos about fishing. After he told me we
should go fishing to do
The Impact Of Limited Liability On The Holding Company
And...
The analysis undertaken in this essay will explain the significance of limited
liability in respect to the holding company and its subsidiaries and how creditors are
affected by limited liability when suffered by losses due to unrecoverable debts
unless able to prove that the holding company knew of the subsidiaryinsolvency. As
well we will look at how s588V allows creditors to be able to recover some of their
losses if the courts are able to justify the piercing of the corporate veil of the holding
companyby proving that the holding company was aware of the subsidiary s
insolvency status this will allow the subsidiary s liquidator to obtain assets from
holding company to fund subsidiary s liabilities.
A company is a legal personality which comes into existence as a body corporate at
the beginning of the day on which it is registered until the company ceases trading.
It has the legal capacity and powers of an individual both in and outside this
jurisdiction meaning it is considered as a legal person who is separate from its
owners, directors, members, employees and agents and that a company has its own
rights and obligations, able to own and dispose of property, enter into contracts,
able to sue and be sued and has limited liability. Salomon v Salomon Co Ltd is a
leading case demonstrating this legal principle in practice that a company is entitled
to be treated as separate legal entity irrespective if the owners or shareholders are one
person or numerous, as
Unit 3 Fibonacci Research
The ratio between two Fibonacci numbers is very close to the golden ratio, which is
1+521.61803399. The table and graph below demonstrate this. In the table, I found
the ratios by dividing a Fibonacci term by the one before it and then subtracted that
from the golden ratio to find the deviation. For example, consider the third Fibonacci
term, 2, and the second term, 1. The ratio between the two is 21=2. The deviation
from the golden ratio is 2 1.61803399=0.38196601. These ratios are plotted on the
graph along with the line f(x)=1+52, the golden ratio, to compare them. nth Fibonacci

This is because Phi and phi are irrational numbers and the program I used to do my
calculations are limited in the decimal places that it can calculate. And just like the
last formula, this one is only accurate when n2. A similar formula can be used to
find the nth Fibonacci number, called Binet s formula: fn=15((1+52)n (1
52)n).Here s an example using n = 5: f5=15((1+52)5 (1 52)5) f5=4.91934955 The
table below compares the values from this formula to the Fibonacci sequence.
Again, there are rounding limitations and this formula only works when n2. This
isn t a big problem though because the first Fibonacci number will always be 1.
During my research, I learned that there is a close relationship between the
Fibonacci and Lucas series, and that either of these series can be used to find an
equation for the nth term of the other. I put the first 15 terms of both these series in a
table to compare them and to find equations for the nth term. From this table, I notice
that the sum of alternate Fibonacci numbers (fn 1+fn+1) equals the Lucas number
that s in between those numbers (ln). The formula then for the nth Lucas number
using Fibonacci numbers is ln=fn 1+fn+1. Here s an example when n=4: l4=f4

The First Seven Years By Bernard Malamud
Bernard Malamud s The First Seven Years is a short story written about social
class, family tension, and love. The story involves a shoemaker, Feld, who is
searching for an honorable man to marry his daughter, Miriam. He attempts to find
a man among scholars, persuading a student named Max to go on a date with his
daughter, but by the end of the story, he finds that those men are not always as
decent as they appear through a first impression. The man best fit for his daughter
turns out to be his shoemaking assistant, Sobel, a low class, poor worker, who
expresses his love for Miriam to close the story. Sobel s characteris created slowly,
but surely, throughout the whole story. By reading the story, an audience can see that
Sobel is the likable character of the story, who indirectly wins the audience s hopes
that the conflict is resolved in his favor. A shoemaker s assistant does not instantly
gain respect or envy from the reader, but Malamud builds the personality of Sobel
mostly by showing his character through the events of the plot and what others say
about him, or indirect characterization. Although there is some parts of direct
descriptions of Sobel, his important traits are not directly stated. This technique of
providing little information to begin with, but explaining his personality through
often emotional and exciting events coincides with Sobel specifically; little is given
about him and he does not draw attention, but once you get to know him and discover

Bullying
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the Wikipedia guidance essay, see Wikipedia:WikiBullying
Bullying is detrimental to students well being and development.[1]
Bullying is the use of force or coercion to abuse or intimidate others. The behavior
can be habitual and involve an imbalance of social or physical power. It can include
verbal harassment or threat, physical assault or coercion and may be directed
repeatedly towards particular victims, perhaps on grounds of race, religion, gender,
sexuality, or ability.[2][3] If bullyingis done by a group, it is called mobbing. The

The Fifth Volume of the Newgate Calendar[11] contains at least one example
where Eton Scholars George Alexander Wood and Alexander Wellesley Leith were
charged, at Aylesbury Assizes, with killing and slaying the Hon. F. Ashley Cooper
on February 28, 1825 in an incident which might today be described as lethal hazing
.[12] The Newgate calendar contains several other examples that, while not as
distinct, could be considered indicative of situations of bullying. Virginia Woolf
considered fascism to be a form of bullying, and wrote of Hitler and the Nazis in
1934 as these brutal bullies .[13][14]
Anti bullying movement
In the 2000s and 2010s, a cultural movement against bullying gained popularity in
the English speaking world. The first National Bullying Prevention Week was
conceived of in Canada in 2000 by Canadian educator and anti bullying activist Bill
Belsey. The charity Act Against Bullying was formed in the UK in 2003. In 2006,

Economic Impacts Of The Panama Canal
#4 (Panama Canal) The Panama Canal is a 48 mile long canal that cuts through the
isthmus of Panama. It connects both the atlantic, and Pacific Oceans making
transportation faster, so goods, services, and people wouldn t have to go over North
America, or under South America. The canal is man made and was made by the
United States. The canal was successfully built in 1914 by the United States after
10 years of building it. However, the French tried to build it before the U.S.A. It
started in 1881 and ended in failure in 1894 because of the death of 22,000 workers
because of mosquitoes carrying illness, constant rain, and mud slopes. These things
made the project bankrupt, so they eventually sold it to the United States for 40...

It is a very good source of jobs for people in Latin America. This boosts economic
activity in the area, making the area better. Since a lot of ships come in on a daily
basis, money comes in fast. Panama has also brought in countless numbers of tourist
to come see the Canal, making the economy grow and grow. Before the canal the
boats would have to go under South America where there were strong winds and
cold waters, taking a long time. After the canal was built, it cut 8,000 miles from
travel time to go around South America, and made the cost less for ships wanting to
get to the Pacific or Atlantic Ocean. Now, countries are able to trade with other
countries far away because of the canal. The overall importance of the Canal is
very high. Without it, Panama wouldn t have the booming city like it does today,
would have a low amount of jobs, and other countries wouldn t be able to trade
easily by boat. The canal has made shipment of goods by boats much easier, since
they don t have to cut under South America. If it was never created, boat travel
would not be like it is today.
Realism, Modality and Truth Essay
Realism, Modality and Truth
ABSTRACT: Anti realists about the past claim that no one has yet manifested a
knowledge of the truth of tensed instances of the realist schema ‡ (s is true ·
there is no evidence for s), instances such as ‡ ( Caesar crossed the Rubicon is
true В· there is no evidence for Caesar crossed the Rubicon ). It is true that we cannot
decide specific instances of the realist schema and that, consequently, neither our
understanding of these instances, nor our knowledge of their truth may be constituted
by the recognitional and executive capacities which, according to Michael Dummett s
antirealism, constitute grasp of meaning. Although we cannot decide these issues, we
can meet Dummett s anti realist s ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
I believe that anti realism about the past is false under both construals and I shall
defend realism about the past against them. I obviously take realism to be a modal
thesis about the relation between truth and its recognition, a thesis which says that
the truth of statements in the past tense is independent from the obtaining of the sort
of evidence which we normally rely on to recognize that they are true : testimonies,
reports, documents, memories, and so on. It follows from this that the most
promising way of arguing in its favour is to meet the now familiar Dummettian
manifestability challenge . This is what I propose to do here. I shall address that
challenge directly and conclude, contrary to Michael Dummett s anti realist, that (R)
is true.
I shall begin with a few words of caution regarding the content of the challenge. It is
often taken for granted that anti realism of the Dummettian variety, either negatively
or conditionally construed, is inferred from the provisional claim that no one has yet
managed to show, or has yet even made clear, how one could manifest an
understanding of the meaning of particular instances of (R), instances such as :
(1) ‡ ( Caesar crossed the Rubicon is true · there is no evidence for Caesar
crossed the Rubicon ).
Dummett and other advocates of semantic anti realism like Crispin Wright and Neil
Tennant, have indeed repeatedly insisted that the anti realist s challenge must be met
within the theory of meaning,
Similarities Between Arrow And The Flash
Has there ever been a point in your life that you wished you could be a superhero or
superhuman? Most, if not all, people s answer to that question would be a
resounding yes, including mine. Over the years, more TV shows and movies have
begun to incorporate what we would consider to be our heroes into them. These
shows, or movies, consist of a hero, or heroes, that are typically aided by friends and
a team that help them fight evil; two examples of this are Arrow and The Flash. Hero

Oliver vows that every person on his father s list will wish he too had died on that
island. Similar to the first episode of Arrow, The Flash has it s first episode named
Pilot as well. It begins with a flashback to when Barry Allen s, the main character,
mom is killed in an unexplainable event and his dad is convicted of her murder...
which Barry believes to be untrue. Now, 14 years later, Barry works for Central
City C.S.I and is quite good at his job. On one particular night a particle
accelerator, created by Harrison Wells and was supposed to change the way
everyone thought about physics, exploded releasing an unimaginable amount of
dark energy. Lightning then struck Barry, which put him in a coma for nine
months. After waking up, Barry began to notice certain things were slowing down...
or so he thought. In reality, he was just moving unexplainably fast. When a man
named Clyde Martin that can inexplicably control the weather starts terrorizing the
city, Barry takes it upon himself to take him down. He speaks with Oliver Queen
for advice, Barry knows Oliver is the Arrow, and Oliver tells him that he can inspire
people the way he himself never could. Barry then takes on Clyde Martin head on
and defeats him. The storylines between the two shows are similar because they both
begin by showing what made the two heroes and what made them who they are

plus horseback riding, fishing, and boating as added attractions. Always free was a
walk along the narrow break water, an activity that was fun, wet, and challenging,
especially during stormy weather.
The main structure of the present club house was constructed and new freshwater

Essay On Britney Spears
Britney Spears once said, My life was too much under the control of too many
people and that did not allow me to be myself. When you re not in control you re
less excited, less passionate. She acknowledged the fact that her life was controlled
by others, and finally decided to take it into her own hands. Britney Spearsis a social
outcast that believes in expressing one s true self by doing what he or she pleases,
regardless of the attention it draws. In early 2007, Britney Jean Spears became
very overwhelmed with stress and power. Although it looks very effortless, being
an influential role model is a lot of hard work. All individuals have duties to fulfill
in order to complete their personal responsibilities. Celebrities must follow very
stern rules that are mainly arranged by their managers. They must act a certain way
in public, on stage, around fans, and during interviews. Over time, these guidelines
can cause great harm to one s self respect. All people should have the right to reveal
who they really are on the inside (Joyner). It all started with her drastic change in

considering that nobody can take that away. Despite the attention that came from her
actions, Britney Spears will always be viewed as an outcast that expresses her true

Case Study Of ABNA AMRO
In 2007, ABN AMRO Holding NV was acquired by RFS, a consortium of banks
comprising Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS), Fortis Bank NV/SA, and Banco
Santander. The acquisition talks were initiated after a shareholder wrote a letter
asking the CEO, Rijkman Groenink, and the supervisory board chairman, Arthur
Martinez, to actively investigate a merger, acquisition or division of ABN AMRO.
The motivation was that the share price did not reflect the true value of the
underlying assets. On March 20, 2007, ABN AMRO established it was having
merger talks with Barclays.
On April 18, 2007, however, RBS contacted ABN AMRO to propose a deal in which
the consortium RFS would bid for ABN AMRO and subsequently split the
components of the firm.

National Security And Homeland Security
Intelligence deals with the process in which specific types of information has been
collected, analyzed, refined and provided to the policy makers, so that it will be
useful to them in decisions making about potential threats to national security and
homeland security (Lowenthal, 2014, p. 10). U.S Government has been benefiting
from Intelligence information since the beginning of the country, despite the fact that
many people thought that U.S intelligence emanated as a result of cold war
(Federation of American Scientists, 1996). For instance, the Office of Naval
Intelligence was created in March 1882 followed by the formation of the Military
Intelligence Division three years later, charged to collect foreign and domestic
military data (Federation of American Scientists, 1996). Other intelligence units in
the early republic include the first U.S. Army signals intelligence ( MI 8) formed in
1917; the Justice Department s Bureau of Investigation created in 1908. However, U.
S Intelligence witnessed tremendous transformation due to events that happens as
results of intelligence failures. Chiefly among them was the Japanese surprise attack
on Pearl Harbor in 1941. The aftermath of this lead to the creation of the National
Intelligence Authority, a Central Intelligence Group in 1946; and subsequently
enacted into law the National Security Act of 1947 that served as the organizational
basis for the US conduct of the Cold War. The 1947 act also established the Central

Comparative Advantage Of Blassa Index
It is important that a country specialize in the commodity in which it poses a
comparatives advantage over others. In order to identify the strong sector in the
economy, the actual trade flows was analyzed. This idea was later improvised and
refined by Bela Balassa and gave his famous Balassa Index.
This index is commonly used in International Economics to calculate the relative
advantage or disadvantage that a country poses in a certain class of goods and
services. The value of the index shows the revealed comparative advantage of a
country in good. The Balassa Index is fundamentally a standardized export share.

Through the Balassa index it was found that the value of RCA for Indian
pharmaceutical export is 2.61 which is more than 1 that signifies that India has a
comparative advantage over ASEAN which has its RCA value less than one.
Hence the Balassa index showed that India posses a higher degree of advantage in
export of pharmaceuticals, thus it should specialize in this sector and generate income.

The above figure shows the export trend of pharmaceuticals from Indian market to
the world. The highest export was recorded in financial year 2015 16. Despite of
the fall in subsequent year it still maintained it power in the global market. India
enjoys relative advantage in this sector, which is been calculated by the Balassa
index. The strength of the exports has been compared with overall export of the
ASEAN. As Indian pharmaceutical sector was growing similarly the pharmaceutical
sector of ASEAN was flourishing which was making it an attractive for JAPAN and
United States the sales from this sector was more than 20 billion us dollar by end of

Mira Nair s Monsoon Wedding
Mira Nair
I first remember hearing about Mira Nair last year, not in my Introduction to
Cinema class but from my half Indian friend who praised Mira Nair s Monsoon
Wedding. It should be noted that my first film teacher was a white man, older than
sixty and not concerned with women directors; out of the sixteen films screened for
the semester, two were directed by women and none by women of color. Mira Nair
has a unique understanding that she is fighting a long and slow battle for her
films to be made relevant. Because of her race and gender, the system is against
her. Thankfully, Mira Nair creates her films for herself and usually based on her
own experiences and thoughts and is not waiting around for people to give her
chances, she is taking them. She is a radical, feminist filmmaker with the way that
she makes her own actions of making all type of films (shorts, documentaries, and
fiction films) and packs a meaning behind them with her themes that are intended to
make her audiences experience impressions of the life she has lived.
Mira Nair s social location lies in multiple spheres. She is a brown, Indian woman
who has lived in America, Uganda, and North India for residence. She has also
visited lots of places for research of her films. Nair has been an immigrant, a young
woman, an old woman, and those are just the obvious class divides. She has also
suffered from classism in India. Nair has lived working as a poor student and artist,

With each family Moody worked for, the anger within her grew and the prejudice
toward her also grew. Moody expresses how much she desperately wanted to
understand the racial inequality that was a part of her world. Some of the kind
whites educated her, while others tried to engrain in her mind that she should not
try to step out of her role as an African American. One of the rude white families
that she worked for was the Burkes. Mrs. Burke, an active member in a local
Citizens Council and a character that was prejudice towards blacks, had many
encounters with Anne. Anne s interactions with Mrs. Burke make her question the
societal norms between whites and blacks. Mrs. Burke tells Anne how to behave
and all Anne can do is act as if she understands and agrees with what Mrs. Burke
says, but inside, all she can do is question why society is like this. For example, one
interaction went like this: When they had finished and gone to the living room as
usual to watch TV, Mrs. Burke called me to eat...Mrs. Burke
Why I Was The Only Person Who Was Ready
My thirteen year old mind could not handle waiting idly in an uncomfortable,
wooden chair. By that time, my powdered makeup had turned into beads of liquid.
Can we please leave, I yelled we re going to be late! In response to no response, I
stood up from my chair and marched into my cousin s room. I was startled as I
walked in on one of the most frantic scenes I had ever witnessed. There were
clothes sprawled on the floor, makeup powder on the dresser and jewelry on the
bed. My cousins and aunts were running around the room; some were getting
ready, some were arguing and some were talking on the phone. The mixture of heat
and expensive perfume was asphyxiating. We re going to miss the trip tia ! I failed to
understand why I was the only person who was ready. We had all been aware of our
reservations for the party boat in Old San Juanfor almost a week.
We re almost ready Val, go start the car. Her response was almost humorous because
I knew she was nowhere near being ready. On her head, rested her shower cap and in
the closet, hung her dress. Respectfully, I continued to follow her orders and accept
our inevitable lateness.
I was born in Bayamon, Puerto Rico on February,4th, 1999. Since that day, I have
come to the conclusion that no one on the island is familiar with the concept of time.
Puerto Ricans often jokingly regard reoccurring tardiness as a common quality. Along
with their skewed view of time, they also seem to have an aversion to frugality.

The African Freedom Movement
Caleb Renfroe
History of Civilization II
Ch.22 Question
Freedom is defined as the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants
without hindrance or restraint, and this idea of freedom is arguably one of the
most sought after privileges throughout the history of human existence. Wars have
been fought over it, lives have been lost, song and poems and works of literature
have been written about it. Freedom is what defines our country here in America
today and it is the desire of the entirety of the human race. Although we may desire
freedom and we may take it for granted in today s society, it hasn t always been so
easy to come by. The Indian freedom movement and the African freedom movement
both had their fair share of struggles before achieving their desired state of freedom.
Some of these struggles were common to both countries but each also experienced
difficulties unique to their own country as well.
One common thing between both India and Africa s freedom movements is their
success in becoming free nations under the rule of their own government rather than
by a foreign countries. In India, the movement began its success in 1885 with the
establishment of the Indian National Congress (INC) gained further traction under the
leadership of Mohandas Gandhi and by 1947 colonial India became independent. In
Africa, the struggle against apartheid was one of success as well. The African
freedom movement gained began in 1912 with the African National Congress (ANC)

The Old Man and the Sea, For Whom the Bell Tolls, and the like. Hemingway had
quite an influence even after his death in 1961 caused by suicide. Today, Ernest
Hemingwayis recognized as an excellent writer and attracts tourists to his house in

Grace Hemingway and he was the 2nd of four children. Hemingway had fairly
average childhood and he lived by Chicago, but his family owned a summer home in
north Michigan where Hemingway would acquire his love of the outdoors and
related sports (i.e.. fishing and hunting). Ernest Hemingway graduated school with
enjoyment in journalism and soon afterwards went overseas to enlist in World War I

Coca-Cola
Founded 129 years ago in 1886 by Dr. John Styth Pemberton, the Coca Cola

Virgin
Problem Statement
Virgin Mobile is launching its services in USA in the summer of 2002. It has to
decide on its pricing strategy that would attract and retain subscribers.
Situation Analysis
Customer: The target consumer group is youth aged between 15 and 29 years.
Penetration in this segment is significantly lower and the growth rate is projected
to be robust in the coming years. Most of them have a history of poor credit quality,
no credit cards and no facility to pass credit checks. The revenue generated is lower
than the average acquisition and the cost of serving of the industry. Hence this group
is largely under served.
This consumer segment has their specific needs that are not being met by the mobile
service providers. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Alternatives
Some Alternatives for Virgin Mobileare
i.Clone the industry prices: This would copy the same pricing structure as of the
competitors. The competitive difference would be its application like VirginXtras,
better customer service, no hidden cost relaxed off peak hours. This would be easy
to promote and given the smaller advertising budget would be more cost beneficial.
But people may not like the idea as its nothing different from the more established
players in the market. ii.Price below competition: This would use the similar pricing
structure as the rest of industry with price below the competition. (say, Вў14.99
/minute incl. all taxes) This would be easier to communicate to customer, as they are
already familiar with the bucket system volume discount. Again Virgin Mobile will
be only differentiated by its cheaper price, VirginXtras, no hidden cost better off peak
hours. But in this case also, Virgin Mobile is no different from the industry and hence
has no big competitive advantage.
Recommendation
Virgin Mobile is entering a competitive market, and need to attract new segment of
customer. Hence apart from the basic Cost Based Pricing, Virgin will have to adopt
Competition Based Pricing Value Based Pricing models. The pricing features of the
Virgin Mobile should be as follows
i.Pricing: Virgin Mobile can charge Вў24.99 /minute inclusive of all taxes. We can

Joseph Mccarthy Red Scare
Joseph McCarthy During the late 1940s and early 1950s, the idea of communist
subversion was becoming frighteningly real. These fears came to define and, in
some cases, corrode the era s political culture. For many Americans, the most
enduring symbol of this Red Scare was Republican Senator Joseph P. McCarthy of
Wisconsin. McCarthy spent almost five years trying in vain to expose communists
and other left wing loyalty risks in the U.S. government.In February 1950, appearing
at the Ohio County Women s Republican Club in Wheeling, West Virginia,
McCarthy gave a speech that boosted him into the national spotlight. Waving a piece
of paper in the air, he declared that he had a list of 205 known members of the
Communist Party who were working... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Moreover, many of McCarthy s Democratic and Republican colleagues, including
President Dwight Eisenhower, disapproved of his tactics ( I will not get into the
gutter with this guy, the president told his aides). Still, the senator continued his so
called Red baiting campaign. In 1953, at the beginning of his second term as senator,
McCarthy was put in charge of the Committee on Government Operations, which
allowed him to launch even more expansive investigations of the alleged communist
infiltration of the federal government. In hearing after hearing, he aggressively
interrogated witnesses in what many came to perceive as a blatant violation of their
civil rights. Despite a lack of any proof of subversion, more than 2,000 government
employees lost their jobs as a result of McCarthy s

Mostly they re terrified of finding that there may be something wrong with them
deep down, some weakness at the heart. To avoid discovering that, they spend their
lives acting out the role that the he man naturally lives. Sad. (Perrin, Page 247 248)
I completely disagree with that. Perrin makes it sound like it s such a burden to be
envious or jealous of those manly qualities. I think it s human nature to do that and
there is nothing wrong with acting out that way. No man is going to say I want to
be that guy , instead they re saying I want to be LIKE that guy , combining the
qualities you have already with the ones that you don t have. I believe if you re not
constantly searching to be better in life or have better qualities, whether they re
manlier or not, what s the point of existing in life? It s human nature to try to be
better in one way or another. For example, if there s an update for your iphone, are
you not going to take it? No, because that update is going to make it better. Same
rules apply to human life.
Another issue I have with another one of Perrin s opinions is he also believes that
...they [imitators] aren t as free as us androgynes (Perrin, Page 247). Perrin doesn t
really back up his opinion here, as he also states that his Answer is mere
speculation, but not casual (Perrin, Page 247). Well, if you can t back this up, don t
state it. I m not going to sit here and tell you that Ford is better than Chevrolet and
Depiction Of Struggle And Division
Depiction of Struggle and Division in Text Throughout this class, the main goal was
to analyze these texts as though we were scholars, and to make connections and
identify common themes amongst them. By doing so, we were supposed to be able
to more deeply understand each text and the argument each was making. Throughout
the readings, the most prominent themes were that of struggle and division, though it
is certainly more prevalent and obvious in certain texts than others. Though all the
texts depict division and struggle, they focus on different societal divisions This
depiction of struggle first became clear during the reading of Plato s Republic in book
I, where Thrasymachus said of justice, Justice is nothing more than what is
advantageous for the stronger (Plato 15). When examined further, Thrasymachus
answer came to mean that what benefits the stronger, more powerful class of people
is what he calls justice. Thrasymachus answer posed a struggle between those with
more power and influence and those who held less powerful positions in their
respective City states. While Socrates overturned Thrasymachus definition of justice,
the discussion turned to government and justice in Book VIII, when Socrates spoke
of the eventual decay of government into Tyranny. In describing Timocracy, a form of
government in which property ownership is required for participation in government
and in which honor is the ruling principle and the man with which it corresponds,

So who is responsible for leading the PCAOB to take the necessary steps to restore
investor confidence? The chairman of the PCAOB, William McDonough, states
that the PCAOB will be stern but sympathetic supervisors (Michaels). It appears
that McDonough is taking a tough love approach, the approach he used as the
president and CEO of the Reserve Bank of New York. He states; Most of the time (at
the Fed) we d be supportive, helpful В– but if you do something wrong, watch out
(Tufts). One example of McDonough being supportive is not requiring public
accounting firms to sell their tax and corporate finance practices (Michaels). To
require firms to become audit only would have created animosity towards the PCAOB
and further push back on any standard that the PCAOB would issue in the future. By
allowing firms to keep their tax business he is reducing future conflicts and getting
buy off from public accounting firms on tough auditing standards that the PCAOB is
and will issue. He is trying to foster a win win attitude. Will this approach work is
hard to determine at this time. The PCAOB board is so new, only time will tell if
his approach is effective or not. The PCAOB is the public accounting oversight
board created by the Congress via the Sarbanes Oxley Act. It appears the PCAOB has
laid the groundwork to effectively monitor and review the public accounting
Analysis Of The Moor s Last Sigh And Shalimar The Clown
Rushdie has explored many themes and issues in his writing cosmos within the
postcolonial perspective in relationship with language, history, politics, identity,
migration, and globalization. The present paper is focused on his two famous novels
The Moor s Last Sigh and Shalimar the Clown that had taken a reversion from the
other works that are based on western countries and characters. He is traversing back
from routes to roots, envisioning the Indian subcontinentwithin his critiques. Rushdie
encompasses through the geographical, political, and cultural limits in the course of
his written works, just to come back to explore his subcontinent. In both these books
the Indian nation expects a key topical core interest with a major focus on serious
issues like historical backdrop of Indialoaded with turbulence in the present
circumstances, and the issue of Kashmir has given a priority that has got mutilated
between India and Pakistan since independence. The experience of distance inside the
third world connection is pondered upon after the postcolonial era of the
subcontinent. Rushdie investigates the historical backdrop of India full with
turbulence in the most recent century in The Moor s Last Sigh, while it is the issue
of Kashmir that expects priority in Shalimar the Clown.
Key Words: Rushdie, Routes, Roots, Geography, Turbulence, Politics, India, Pakistan,
Kashmir.
Both novels are traversing from western thoughts to the author s own subcontinent
that has become the victim of too many impunities and turbulences. The experience
of the third world alienation has become the source to deliberate upon. The Moor s
Last Sigh explores the real historical figures and events including the surrender of
Granada by Boabdil, the demolition of the Babri Masjid, the 1993 Bombay riots, the
gangster and terrorist Dawood Ibrahim, as well as the modern Indian political
organizations like Bal Thackeray and the Shiv Sena in Indian Political history. It
traces four generations of the narrator s family and the ultimate effects upon the
narrator, Moraes Zogoiby. Also, the novel reflects upon its own moment of
production as part of our engagement with a palimpsestic or multilayered reading of

first flight, in the shadow also. He could not see her face but he could see the terra

white. It was his wife. She was leaning on the banisters, listening to something.
Gabriel was surprised at her stillness and strained his ear to listen also. But he
could hear little save the noise of laughter and dispute on the front steps, a few
chords struck on the piano and a few notes of a man s voice singing. (Joyce, 144)

of businesses as laid out by Carrol (1979)? In particular, are the underlying factors
/measures of CSR found in Western countries, i.e. economic, legal, ethical and
philanthropic responsibilities apply to Chinese consumers? (4) How and why does
the relative importance among these factors in China differ from the Western
context? The п¬Ѓndings and implications of this study is important not only to
Chinese businesses as they wrestle with CSR as a strategic component of business,
but also to Western businesses as they plough large amounts of investments into
China to take advantage of the burgeoning consumer market. The next section
provides an overview of the literature on CSR and the consumer s perspective in
particular. In the third section, we explain the data and methodology used in this

Many notable wars have begun and ended without people taking time to truly

has existed all throughout the history of mankind s most notable societies, from the

If we do not expect nothing in return except for our fellow man to have what he
needs to make it in life, we will in turn receive more productive members of society,
we will receive less starving, freezing, lonely people on the streets, and we will
receive compassion if we ever end up there too. Perhaps another roadblock put in
front of us, as explained in 7 Lies About Welfare by Danica Johnson, is the stigma
people give to those of us who are less fortunate. When someone thinks of a person
in poverty they think of homelessness at worst, living in subsidized housing at best.
They don t consider that it is not always like that. Some live in their own places
and out of all the help provided, maybe they only need to use food stamps. Danica
tells how most people do not even know what welfare even is, they just think of
lazy individuals trying to cash in taxpayer money for luxury items and drugs. They
don t know what their tax dollars go toward, how much of it, and what the
programs even do. In fact, most government assisted programs seek to provide
only the bare minimum amount of help that an individual or a family need to
survive. Also to be noted, most benefit programs require recipients to work at least
30 hours a week in order to be eligible. Sometimes even between 35 50 hours a week

The constitution and thus the creed contain 12 such sentiments, or principles. These
principles are also called, The Twelve Pillars of Freedom . These are: National
sovereignty (which means national independence), Natural law (is the universal

of $33 million from each of the three cofounders, and $500 million from Microsoft co
founder Paul Allen, putting the value of the company at the time around $2.7 billion.
The goal of the trio was to initiate and organize an artist friendly studio, in order to
produce, develop, and distribute exceptional film entertainment that would entertain
audiences all around the world. DreamWorksis a dominant producer of live action
films, network syndicated cable television programming, and consumer products, etc.
The company used to have an animation arm, however, that was spun off in 2004,
creating the publicly traded company, known as DreamWorks AnimationSKG

respective industries. Spielberg was already one of the most influential and successful
filmmakers in the motion picture industry. Before starting DreamWorks, Jeff
Katzenberg became a household name in the entertainment business as Chairman of
The Walt Disney Studios from 1984 to 1994. At Disney, Katzenberg was responsible

President Bush was open to progressing minority groups but he made few attempts
to change the conservative direction of the past civil rights policies. Actual change
did not come about until Clinton s presidency when he gave several apologies to
minority groups who had been discriminated against and mistreated by American
society and government throughout history. He publicly honored 9 black students
who led the effort for segregation in the public schools in 1957. Clinton s main goals
during his presidency was to create a unified and integrated society that allowed
harmony between races. His reformist outlook allowed great improvements to be
made in the decade; however, unity had not been achieved yet.
Despite hip hops popularity in our culture during the 1980 s many people disagreed
with its messages and how it portrayed black youths. Many artist struggled with

upon. There was no turning back though for their talents won over American society
and a new era was beginning. African Americans made music history and film history

Dichotomy In Redfern Speech
In speeches the real and ideal values are the enduring values of the past (as what
Paul Keating sees it which the real) playing a key role in the present and future (the

Geraldine Brooks portrays the difference in mathematics and English). The
dichotomy of these values allows for speeches to retain textual integrity. Paul Keating
s Redfern Speech demonstrates textual integrity as it has dichotomy of real and ideal
values. Paul Keating uses the power of rhetoric to effectively highlight the mistakes

Elbert Frank Cox was born December 5, 1895 in Evansville, Indiana He grew up
with his parents, maternal grandmother and two brothers. Elbert F. Cox was born
and raised in a college town in a racially mixed neighborhood, but at segregated
schools. In fact, his father, a school principal, had graduated from EvansvilleCollege

religious family, Cox learned the importance of education and fostered a talent in
mathematics. During his life, he overcame various difficulties which arose because
of racism. When young Elbert demonstrated unusual ability in high school
mathematics and physics, he was directed toward Indiana University. With all the
separation and hardship and strife around him at the time it inspired him to strive
for a better education. At high school Elbert showed talents which made his choice
of career a difficult one. He was a talented violinist but also showed remarkable

While Cox did not live to see the inauguration of the Ph.D. program at Howard, it is
believed by many that Cox did much to make it possible. Cox helped to build up the
department to the point that the Ph.D. program became a practical next step. He gave
the department a great deal of credibility; primarily because of this personal prestige
as a mathematician, as being the first Black to receive a Ph.D. in mathematics,
because of the nature and kinds of appointments to the faculty that were made while
he chaired the Department, and because of the kinds of students that he attracted to

By the time I was seven years old, I had become a connoisseur of fine food and a
veritable authority on ethnic cuisine. I developed a sense of gastronomic confusion,
however, because of my father s inability to creatively combine leftovers.

combine leftovers which resulted in such fare as Kielbasi Parmigiana, Pierogies Con
Carne, and his renowned Sweet and Sour GoЕ‚Д…bki.

As a child, whenever I asked him what I should become when I grew up, he would
always tell me to work hard and do something special with my life, like becoming a
priest or a doctor. After a short pause, he would usually smile, put his hand on my
shoulder, and remind me I could become anything I wanted except a shoemaker.
When I was seven years old, my father and I were invited to a wedding reception
that was being held in a church hall near the General Hospital. After the reception,
we walked home past the hospital, and my father instructed me to always say a
special prayer for people who are sick. From that moment, I made it a regular
practice to pray for the sick, and the more I prayed for them, the more I wanted to
help them. Little did my father realize that a simple, well intentioned request would
inspire me to become a doctor.
My dream of becoming a doctor was further nurtured by another role model in my
early life, our family physician, James Daniel Devine, M.D. Dr. Devine was the
penultimate physician. He was a compassionate man with consummate skill and
thought by many to be the finest doctor in Northeastern Pennsylvania.
He always seemed to be in the right place at the right time, and never seemed to be
too busy to see another patient. The local newspapers were always filled with stories
and photos of Dr. Devine assisting a needy charity, attending an important social

Abuse Of Alice Power
Alice ultimately has the most power in the book. She may seem like the most
powerless character because of her ethnicity and gender, but her resilience and
ability to influence others made her the most omnipotent. For instance, she may
have been abused, threatened, and even raped by Rufus; but her constraint of
giving him the one thing he wanted made her hold the power over him. While it
may seem that he had more power on the outside, the one thing that he can t gain
from her is her love and compassion. She may have started to tolerate him after a
while, but she promised herself that if there ever came a point where she started to
enjoy the abuse, she would kill herself. Therefore, in a final attempt to gain her love

No matter how much Dana tries to influence and control Rufus he still has power
over her. This is held true when Dana tries to influence him to send her letters to
Kevin. While she thinks that he has sent the message, Rufus doesn t actually send
it and just lies to her. Through lies and violence Rufus both controls Dana and
abuses Dana sher apparent unconditional love for him. Another way that Rufus
gains power over Dana and others is through blackmail and his ability to execute
his threats. For example, Rufus threatens Dana of sending her back in the fields in
an hour (pg) if she ever walks away from him again. Her fear for him kept her silent
kept her in the room because she knew that he meant it (214). Therefore, Rufus is
able to use his threats and blackmail to gain power over Dana. After Alice kills
herself, Rufus is emotionally destroyed, and as a result he tries to rape Dana
because he s apparently in desperate need for love; but just like every other time; he
is just influencing her to do his dirty work. Therefore, her murdering him may seem
like a jump of power, but he influenced her to do it because he had nothing to live for
anymore. His ability to influence others to do things for him is what ultimately makes
Rufus more powerful than

Comparing Shakespeare s Hamlet and Marlowe of Conrad s Heart of Darkness
Prince Hamlet, of Shakespeare s famed tragedy, and Marlowe of Joseph Conrad s
Heart of Darkness, are similarly situated characters. Despite superficially different
settings and plots, there is a remarkably similar thematic element shared between
both works. Prince Hamlet and Marlowe are brought to the very brink of insanity by
their immersion in worlds gone mad, yet still succeed. At their roots, the similarities
of the environments they are immersed in are remarkable. Whether their environment
is a too too sullied (1057) Royal Danish court, or the dark madness of a murderous

Not only are the natures and causes of the evil present in both Hamlet and Heart of
Darkness remarkably similar, but also each character s introduction to it.
Interestingly, Prince Hamlet and Marlowe share a certain naГЇvetГ© when they first
come upon their evils. Hamlet returns home after hearing of his father s death from
studies in Wittenberg, not yet knowing the cause of his death. Marlowe sets off
from Brussels to explore a blank space...a place of darkness (1618), with an
innocent childhood dream to explore the reaches of civilization. Neither man could
have known the immense corruption and evil that awaited them at their destination,
but both would quickly learn. Hamlet returns to Denmark to quickly find that a
hasty incestuous marriage between his widowed mother and his uncle would all
too quickly follow his own father s funeral. Perhaps the most significant sign that
all was not right in Denmark was the apparition of the slain former King. Hamlet s
father s apparition is viewed by Hamlet and his company as an open sign that
something is rotten in the state of Denmark (1068). From this first revelation, Hamlet
learns by degrees of the evil that attempts to hide itself behind the legitimate passing
on of the throne. Hamlet gets a first glimpse of the evil in the appearance of the
restless soul of his father, later, more so with that ghost s revelation of the murderous
truth to Hamlet, up until Hamlet s own observation of Cladius unique

Israel apprehended West Bank and Gaza after the Six Day war in 1967. Since then,
over a phase of 20 years of vocation, drastic modifications in the Palestinian
economy had been introduced by the occupation. Those changes were made for the

the major economic issue brought on by the Israeli s settlement. More than one

months following the eruption of the al Aqsa Intifada saw the Palestinian terror

From her family educational background, to her work with Watson and Crick, to
her role with creating the double helix, she made a huge impact on upcoming
female scientists. She even ended her life doing what she enjoyed, and that was

well educated family. Both of her parents loved science, and that is where she
learned to love it as well. The women in the Franklin family especially excelled in
smarts and creativity. Which was not common at the time, because most scientists
were male. From an early age, Rosalind expressed an early love for science in
general, but specifically chemistry and physics. She decided to go to college and
study natural sciences and got her bachelor s degree. She then earned her PhD in
physical chemistry at Cambridge college in 1945. From there, she was offered to
work with Jacques Mering in Paris at the Laboratoire Central des Services
Chimiques de l Etat. He taught her a lot of different x ray diffraction techniques that

Modernism In Form Follows Function, By Wilk Christopher
In this essay I am going to talk about one theme of Modernist, looking at the
different views of designers in two different books which are Form Follows
Function by Susan Lambert from 1993 and the second book is Modernism by Wilk

The Modernist theme I had choose is Form Follows Function . Form follows purpose,

Although genetics and other unmodifiable risk plays a large role in the appearance of
the disease, there are steps that individuals could take to prevent diabetes. Primary
prevention could take the form of health education in schools and the community to

diabetes. Secondary prevention of diabetes works to reduce its severity and is done
through early diagnosis or individuals that look out for and acknowledge the

In a narrative film, a plot is considered all visible and audible elements present in a

of Oz, the plot begins with Dorothy (Judy Garland), a young farm girl from Kansas
who dreams of escaping to somewhere over the rainbow without troubles and
torment for her dog Toto from a horrible neighbour Miss Gulch (Margaret
Hamilton). During a tornado she is hit on the head and is transported to the World of

Oz is shot in bright and vibrant colours, which pertains to the idea of a magical
land that appears very opposed to the dull and colourless real world of Kansas,
assisting on taking the viewer on the journey over the rainbow . This goal oriented
plot in The Wizard of Oz follows a pattern of development that encourages the
viewer to expect Dorothy to reach her desired goal. The viewer then sees each action
of Dorothy s to be a progress of this desire to go home to Kansas.
The film is brought to a climax when the Dorothy and her friends return to visit the
Wizard after destroying the Wicked Witch of the West, of which he had requested.
During this scene it is revealed that the Wizard is in fact a fraud, an ordinary but
clever man who although as no powers, still fulfils the expectations of the story. He
gives Scarecrow, Tinman and the Cowardly Lion the answers they seek by giving
them the self confidence to recognise they had the qualities which they were looking
for all along and he presents them with some token external symbols to represent this.
In the final scenes and formal resolution of the film, which is shot in sepia tones
creating a parallelism with Kansas on the opening scene, Dorothy attains her goal of
returning home, waking up in her own bedroom surrounded by friends and family
from her real life, therefore fulfilling the

Essays On Social Issues

  • 1. Essays On Social Issues Crafting an essay on the broad theme of "Essays on Social Issues" can be both challenging and rewarding. The difficulty lies in the vast and complex nature of social issues, which encompass a wide range of topics, from poverty and inequality to discrimination, climate change, and political unrest. The challenge is to delve into these multifaceted problems, offering insightful analysis and constructive solutions. Firstly, one must navigate through the myriad social issues and choose a specific aspect or problem to focus on. Narrowing down the scope while ensuring relevance and significance is a delicate balance. Once a topic is selected, extensive research becomes imperative. Grappling with diverse sources, from academic articles and research papers to news reports and expert opinions, is necessary to gain a comprehensive understanding of the chosen social issue. Next, formulating a coherent thesis statement that encapsulates the essence of the essay is crucial. The essay should present a clear argument or perspective, supported by evidence and examples. Developing a logical flow that transitions smoothly between ideas and sections is another challenge, as social issues often intersect and overlap. Furthermore, addressing the emotional and ethical dimensions of social issues requires a delicate touch. Balancing empathy with analytical rigor is essential to create a persuasive and impactful essay. Moreover, incorporating counterarguments and addressing opposing views adds depth and credibility to the work. The task is not just about presenting problems; it involves exploring potential solutions and advocating for positive change. This requires creativity and critical thinking to propose feasible and effective measures. Concluding the essay with a strong and memorable closing statement is essential to leave a lasting impression on the reader. In summary, writing an essay on social issues demands a combination of research skills, critical thinking, empathy, and effective communication. It is a journey through the complexities of our society, aiming to shed light on pertinent problems and contribute to meaningful discussions. While challenging, the process offers an opportunity for personal growth and a chance to contribute to a better understanding of the world we live in.

  • 2. Characteristics Of An Asian Elephant Asian Elephant The scientific name for the asian elephant is Elephas Maximus. The length of an Asian elephant is up to 5.5 6.5m, of an adult this includes trunk, head and the body. Asian elephants can live up to 60 years in the wild bit up to 48 years in captivity. Elephants are herbivores this means they only eat plants and vegetables. They spend sixteen hours a day eating and consume about 300 600 pounds of food everyday and drink 40 50 gallons of water. Elephants only sleep for two hours a day.Unlike African elephants, where both males and females have tusks, generally only Asian elephant males have ivory tusks some females have small tisks called tushes. Enclosure The EU zoo directive and zoo licensing act 1981 state that zoos must: Accommodate their animals under conditions which aim to satisfy the biological and conservation requirements of the species to which they belong The Asian elephant is found in the dense forests and grassy plains of India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Thailand, and Malaya.They form deep family bonds and herds are led by the oldest female in the family, she is called a Matriarch. Herds have about 8 100 individual elephants depending on the land and size of the family. With all this in mind an enclosure should meet certain size requirements making sure that the enclosure is suited to the elephant
  • 3. Ortholog Lab Report Molecular Biology Summative Question 1: Orthologs: These three proteins have been selected as orthologs as they are all proteins from other species which have very high sequence similarity to the sequence for Homo sapiens dysferlin used. These sequences have 99%, 99% and 98% identity respectively, all with expectation values of 0.0, so are very highly conserved between species, with the amino acids that are different generally being very similar chemically and so will likely carry out the same function as in humans. Paralogs: These three proteins have been selected as paralogs for the given protein sequence. There is far more variation between these compared with the orthologs, as can be seen by the differences in the alignment scores. The first sequence, myoferlin, has a much lower identity, 56%, but still has a very high sequence similarity with very few gaps. Myoferlin belongs to the dysferlin sub family which the reference sequence is also a part of, with this alignment providing evidence for their evolutionary closeness. The second protein, fer 1 like protein 5, has 40% identity and a very high similarity to dysferlin. It is therefore highly likely to be a ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... There is a high level of sequence homology between the four proteins at this c terminus end so this area is highly conserved, however there is quite a bit of variation in regards to which areas are different. Many of the different amino acids are similar in chemical properties, for example the variation of P and A where both are neutral and hydrophobic, so it is likely that the protein retained its function with the different amino acids. However some have more radical differences, for instance several of the variations are between polar and hydrophobic amino acids. This would have more of an effect on the proteins as it could cause a change in the structure of the protein and so change the
  • 4. Fishing Is Fishing Fishing had never been a hobby until I considered until this past summer. Fishing has an importance that goes way back since my great grandpa back in Mexico. My great grandpa used to take my father fishing to a nearby lake near their home where they would spend hours fishing for that night s dinner. As a kid, I remember my family would take trips to the lake or rivers to have a family gathering and a carne asada. This is where my uncles and grandpa would fish, but at the time playing soccer with my cousins was more exciting. When I turned 13, my grandpa invited me to go fishingto Lake Buena Vistathat Saturday morning. I immediately thought tedious but decided to open up and try a new activity and at the end of the day, I would have a story to tell my friends. Once at the lake, I asked my grandpa, What is so cool about fishing and he responded, It s not about catching fish, it is about relaxing and being away from everything and enjoying nature. Anyone can go to the market to buy a fish, but can they have the patience to battle one and reel it in? . As the day progressed we caught a couple of catfish which my grandpa took home and made soup with. Although that day I enjoyed myself I also found out fishing was not my hobby. Fishing is for those who have patience and don t dread being in the sun all day. Flash forwarding to this past summer, my friend Froilan wanted to go fishing after he saw some YouTube videos about fishing. After he told me we should go fishing to do
  • 5. The Impact Of Limited Liability On The Holding Company And... The analysis undertaken in this essay will explain the significance of limited liability in respect to the holding company and its subsidiaries and how creditors are affected by limited liability when suffered by losses due to unrecoverable debts unless able to prove that the holding company knew of the subsidiaryinsolvency. As well we will look at how s588V allows creditors to be able to recover some of their losses if the courts are able to justify the piercing of the corporate veil of the holding companyby proving that the holding company was aware of the subsidiary s insolvency status this will allow the subsidiary s liquidator to obtain assets from holding company to fund subsidiary s liabilities. A company is a legal personality which comes into existence as a body corporate at the beginning of the day on which it is registered until the company ceases trading. It has the legal capacity and powers of an individual both in and outside this jurisdiction meaning it is considered as a legal person who is separate from its owners, directors, members, employees and agents and that a company has its own rights and obligations, able to own and dispose of property, enter into contracts, able to sue and be sued and has limited liability. Salomon v Salomon Co Ltd is a leading case demonstrating this legal principle in practice that a company is entitled to be treated as separate legal entity irrespective if the owners or shareholders are one person or numerous, as
  • 6. Unit 3 Fibonacci Research The ratio between two Fibonacci numbers is very close to the golden ratio, which is 1+521.61803399. The table and graph below demonstrate this. In the table, I found the ratios by dividing a Fibonacci term by the one before it and then subtracted that from the golden ratio to find the deviation. For example, consider the third Fibonacci term, 2, and the second term, 1. The ratio between the two is 21=2. The deviation from the golden ratio is 2 1.61803399=0.38196601. These ratios are plotted on the graph along with the line f(x)=1+52, the golden ratio, to compare them. nth Fibonacci Number The table and graph show that as the Fibonacci numbers increase and n approaches infinity, the ratio between two consecutive Fibonacci numbers converges ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... This is because Phi and phi are irrational numbers and the program I used to do my calculations are limited in the decimal places that it can calculate. And just like the last formula, this one is only accurate when n2. A similar formula can be used to find the nth Fibonacci number, called Binet s formula: fn=15((1+52)n (1 52)n).Here s an example using n = 5: f5=15((1+52)5 (1 52)5) f5=4.91934955 The table below compares the values from this formula to the Fibonacci sequence. Again, there are rounding limitations and this formula only works when n2. This isn t a big problem though because the first Fibonacci number will always be 1. During my research, I learned that there is a close relationship between the Fibonacci and Lucas series, and that either of these series can be used to find an equation for the nth term of the other. I put the first 15 terms of both these series in a table to compare them and to find equations for the nth term. From this table, I notice that the sum of alternate Fibonacci numbers (fn 1+fn+1) equals the Lucas number that s in between those numbers (ln). The formula then for the nth Lucas number using Fibonacci numbers is ln=fn 1+fn+1. Here s an example when n=4: l4=f4 1+f4+1 l4=f3+f5
  • 7. The First Seven Years By Bernard Malamud Bernard Malamud s The First Seven Years is a short story written about social class, family tension, and love. The story involves a shoemaker, Feld, who is searching for an honorable man to marry his daughter, Miriam. He attempts to find a man among scholars, persuading a student named Max to go on a date with his daughter, but by the end of the story, he finds that those men are not always as decent as they appear through a first impression. The man best fit for his daughter turns out to be his shoemaking assistant, Sobel, a low class, poor worker, who expresses his love for Miriam to close the story. Sobel s characteris created slowly, but surely, throughout the whole story. By reading the story, an audience can see that Sobel is the likable character of the story, who indirectly wins the audience s hopes that the conflict is resolved in his favor. A shoemaker s assistant does not instantly gain respect or envy from the reader, but Malamud builds the personality of Sobel mostly by showing his character through the events of the plot and what others say about him, or indirect characterization. Although there is some parts of direct descriptions of Sobel, his important traits are not directly stated. This technique of providing little information to begin with, but explaining his personality through often emotional and exciting events coincides with Sobel specifically; little is given about him and he does not draw attention, but once you get to know him and discover his
  • 8. Bully Bullying From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For the Wikipedia guidance essay, see Wikipedia:WikiBullying Bullying is detrimental to students well being and development.[1] Bullying is the use of force or coercion to abuse or intimidate others. The behavior can be habitual and involve an imbalance of social or physical power. It can include verbal harassment or threat, physical assault or coercion and may be directed repeatedly towards particular victims, perhaps on grounds of race, religion, gender, sexuality, or ability.[2][3] If bullyingis done by a group, it is called mobbing. The victim of bullying is sometimes referred to as a target . Bullying can be defined in many ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The Fifth Volume of the Newgate Calendar[11] contains at least one example where Eton Scholars George Alexander Wood and Alexander Wellesley Leith were charged, at Aylesbury Assizes, with killing and slaying the Hon. F. Ashley Cooper on February 28, 1825 in an incident which might today be described as lethal hazing .[12] The Newgate calendar contains several other examples that, while not as distinct, could be considered indicative of situations of bullying. Virginia Woolf considered fascism to be a form of bullying, and wrote of Hitler and the Nazis in 1934 as these brutal bullies .[13][14] Anti bullying movement In the 2000s and 2010s, a cultural movement against bullying gained popularity in the English speaking world. The first National Bullying Prevention Week was conceived of in Canada in 2000 by Canadian educator and anti bullying activist Bill Belsey. The charity Act Against Bullying was formed in the UK in 2003. In 2006, National Bullying Prevention Month was declared in the United States. The Suicide of
  • 9. Economic Impacts Of The Panama Canal #4 (Panama Canal) The Panama Canal is a 48 mile long canal that cuts through the isthmus of Panama. It connects both the atlantic, and Pacific Oceans making transportation faster, so goods, services, and people wouldn t have to go over North America, or under South America. The canal is man made and was made by the United States. The canal was successfully built in 1914 by the United States after 10 years of building it. However, the French tried to build it before the U.S.A. It started in 1881 and ended in failure in 1894 because of the death of 22,000 workers because of mosquitoes carrying illness, constant rain, and mud slopes. These things made the project bankrupt, so they eventually sold it to the United States for 40... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... It is a very good source of jobs for people in Latin America. This boosts economic activity in the area, making the area better. Since a lot of ships come in on a daily basis, money comes in fast. Panama has also brought in countless numbers of tourist to come see the Canal, making the economy grow and grow. Before the canal the boats would have to go under South America where there were strong winds and cold waters, taking a long time. After the canal was built, it cut 8,000 miles from travel time to go around South America, and made the cost less for ships wanting to get to the Pacific or Atlantic Ocean. Now, countries are able to trade with other countries far away because of the canal. The overall importance of the Canal is very high. Without it, Panama wouldn t have the booming city like it does today, would have a low amount of jobs, and other countries wouldn t be able to trade easily by boat. The canal has made shipment of goods by boats much easier, since they don t have to cut under South America. If it was never created, boat travel would not be like it is today.
  • 10. Realism, Modality and Truth Essay Realism, Modality and Truth ABSTRACT: Anti realists about the past claim that no one has yet manifested a knowledge of the truth of tensed instances of the realist schema ‡ (s is true В· there is no evidence for s), instances such as ‡ ( Caesar crossed the Rubicon is true В· there is no evidence for Caesar crossed the Rubicon ). It is true that we cannot decide specific instances of the realist schema and that, consequently, neither our understanding of these instances, nor our knowledge of their truth may be constituted by the recognitional and executive capacities which, according to Michael Dummett s antirealism, constitute grasp of meaning. Although we cannot decide these issues, we can meet Dummett s anti realist s ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... I believe that anti realism about the past is false under both construals and I shall defend realism about the past against them. I obviously take realism to be a modal thesis about the relation between truth and its recognition, a thesis which says that the truth of statements in the past tense is independent from the obtaining of the sort of evidence which we normally rely on to recognize that they are true : testimonies, reports, documents, memories, and so on. It follows from this that the most promising way of arguing in its favour is to meet the now familiar Dummettian manifestability challenge . This is what I propose to do here. I shall address that challenge directly and conclude, contrary to Michael Dummett s anti realist, that (R) is true. I shall begin with a few words of caution regarding the content of the challenge. It is often taken for granted that anti realism of the Dummettian variety, either negatively or conditionally construed, is inferred from the provisional claim that no one has yet managed to show, or has yet even made clear, how one could manifest an understanding of the meaning of particular instances of (R), instances such as : (1) ‡ ( Caesar crossed the Rubicon is true В· there is no evidence for Caesar crossed the Rubicon ). Dummett and other advocates of semantic anti realism like Crispin Wright and Neil Tennant, have indeed repeatedly insisted that the anti realist s challenge must be met within the theory of meaning,
  • 11. Similarities Between Arrow And The Flash Has there ever been a point in your life that you wished you could be a superhero or superhuman? Most, if not all, people s answer to that question would be a resounding yes, including mine. Over the years, more TV shows and movies have begun to incorporate what we would consider to be our heroes into them. These shows, or movies, consist of a hero, or heroes, that are typically aided by friends and a team that help them fight evil; two examples of this are Arrow and The Flash. Hero shows, or movies, can be a quite broad category, but it can be broken into smaller categories like superhuman heroes, mortal heroes, dark heroes, or otherworldly heroes. The Flash is a superhuman hero while Green Arrow is a mortal, but dark hero. The two... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Oliver vows that every person on his father s list will wish he too had died on that island. Similar to the first episode of Arrow, The Flash has it s first episode named Pilot as well. It begins with a flashback to when Barry Allen s, the main character, mom is killed in an unexplainable event and his dad is convicted of her murder... which Barry believes to be untrue. Now, 14 years later, Barry works for Central City C.S.I and is quite good at his job. On one particular night a particle accelerator, created by Harrison Wells and was supposed to change the way everyone thought about physics, exploded releasing an unimaginable amount of dark energy. Lightning then struck Barry, which put him in a coma for nine months. After waking up, Barry began to notice certain things were slowing down... or so he thought. In reality, he was just moving unexplainably fast. When a man named Clyde Martin that can inexplicably control the weather starts terrorizing the city, Barry takes it upon himself to take him down. He speaks with Oliver Queen for advice, Barry knows Oliver is the Arrow, and Oliver tells him that he can inspire people the way he himself never could. Barry then takes on Clyde Martin head on and defeats him.

National Security And Homeland Security Intelligence deals with the process in which specific types of information has been collected, analyzed, refined and provided to the policy makers, so that it will be useful to them in decisions making about potential threats to national security and homeland security (Lowenthal, 2014, p. 10). U.S Government has been benefiting from Intelligence information since the beginning of the country, despite the fact that many people thought that U.S intelligence emanated as a result of cold war (Federation of American Scientists, 1996). For instance, the Office of Naval Intelligence was created in March 1882 followed by the formation of the Military Intelligence Division three years later, charged to collect foreign and domestic military data (Federation of American Scientists, 1996). Other intelligence units in the early republic include the first U.S. Army signals intelligence ( MI 8) formed in 1917; the Justice Department s Bureau of Investigation created in 1908. However, U. S Intelligence witnessed tremendous transformation due to events that happens as results of intelligence failures. Chiefly among them was the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. The aftermath of this lead to the creation of the National Intelligence Authority, a Central Intelligence Group in 1946; and subsequently enacted into law the National Security Act of 1947 that served as the organizational basis for the US conduct of the Cold War.

In order to identify the strong sector in the economy, the actual trade flows was analyzed. This idea was later improvised and refined by Bela Balassa and gave his famous Balassa Index. This index is commonly used in International Economics to calculate the relative advantage or disadvantage that a country poses in a certain class of goods and services.

Through the Balassa index it was found that the value of RCA for Indian pharmaceutical export is 2.61 which is more than 1 that signifies that India has a comparative advantage over ASEAN which has its RCA value less than one.

Mira Nair s Monsoon Wedding Mira Nair I first remember hearing about Mira Nair last year, not in my Introduction to Cinema class but from my half Indian friend who praised Mira Nair s Monsoon Wedding. It should be noted that my first film teacher was a white man, older than sixty and not concerned with women directors; out of the sixteen films screened for the semester, two were directed by women and none by women of color. Mira Nair has a unique understanding that she is fighting a long and slow battle for her films to be made relevant. Because of her race and gender, the system is against her. Thankfully, Mira Nair creates her films for herself and usually based on her own experiences and thoughts and is not waiting around for people to give her chances, she is taking them. She is a radical, feminist filmmaker with the way that she makes her own actions of making all type of films (shorts, documentaries, and fiction films) and packs a meaning behind them with her themes that are intended to make her audiences experience impressions of the life she has lived. Mira Nair s social location lies in multiple spheres. She is a brown, Indian woman who has lived in America, Uganda, and North India for residence. She has also visited lots of places for research of her films. Nair has been an immigrant, a young woman, an old woman, and those are just the obvious class divides. She has also suffered from classism in India. Nair has lived working as a poor student and artist, trying to survive and still promote

Another force that shaped Moody s thoughts on race was her interactions with the whites that she worked for within her hometown. This started her questioning of why there was such an emphasis on race. Anne s job description consisted of cooking, cleaning, ironing, and maintaining houses for whites in her community. With each family Moody worked for, the anger within her grew and the prejudice toward her also grew. Moody expresses how much she desperately wanted to understand the racial inequality that was a part of her world. Some of the kind whites educated her, while others tried to engrain in her mind that she should not try to step out of her role as an African American. One of the rude white families that she worked for was the Burkes. Mrs. Burke, an active member in a local Citizens Council and a character that was prejudice towards blacks, had many encounters with Anne. Anne s interactions with Mrs. Burke make her question the societal norms between whites and blacks. Mrs. Burke tells Anne how to behave and all Anne can do is act as if she understands and agrees with what Mrs. Burke says, but inside, all she can do is question why society is like this.

By that time, my powdered makeup had turned into beads of liquid. Can we please leave, I yelled we re going to be late! In response to no response, I stood up from my chair and marched into my cousin s room. I was startled as I walked in on one of the most frantic scenes I had ever witnessed. There were clothes sprawled on the floor, makeup powder on the dresser and jewelry on the bed. My cousins and aunts were running around the room; some were getting ready, some were arguing and some were talking on the phone. The mixture of heat and expensive perfume was asphyxiating.

The African Freedom Movement Caleb Renfroe History of Civilization II Ch.22 Question Freedom is defined as the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint, and this idea of freedom is arguably one of the most sought after privileges throughout the history of human existence. Wars have been fought over it, lives have been lost, song and poems and works of literature have been written about it. Freedom is what defines our country here in America today and it is the desire of the entirety of the human race. Although we may desire freedom and we may take it for granted in today s society, it hasn t always been so easy to come by. The Indian freedom movement and the African freedom movement both had their fair share of struggles before achieving their desired state of freedom. Some of these struggles were common to both countries but each also experienced difficulties unique to their own country as well. One common thing between both India and Africa s freedom movements is their success in becoming free nations under the rule of their own government rather than by a foreign countries. In India, the movement began its success in 1885 with the establishment of the Indian National Congress (INC) gained further traction under the leadership of Mohandas Gandhi and by 1947 colonial India became independent. In Africa, the struggle against apartheid was one of success as well. The African freedom movement gained began in 1912 with the African National Congress (ANC) and gained

Most of them have a history of poor credit quality, no credit cards and no facility to pass credit checks.

Alternatives Some Alternatives for Virgin Mobileare i.Clone the industry prices: This would copy the same pricing structure as of the competitors. The competitive difference would be its application like VirginXtras, better customer service, no hidden cost relaxed off peak hours. This would be easy to promote and given the smaller advertising budget would be more cost beneficial. But people may not like the idea as its nothing different from the more established players in the market. ii.Price below competition: This would use the similar pricing structure as the rest of industry with price below the competition. (say, Вў14.99 /minute incl. all taxes) This would be easier to communicate to customer, as they are already familiar with the bucket system volume discount. Again Virgin Mobile will be only differentiated by its cheaper price, VirginXtras, no hidden cost better off peak hours.

To avoid discovering that, they spend their lives acting out the role that the he man naturally lives. Sad. (Perrin, Page 247 248) I completely disagree with that. Perrin makes it sound like it s such a burden to be envious or jealous of those manly qualities. I think it s human nature to do that and there is nothing wrong with acting out that way. No man is going to say I want to be that guy , instead they re saying I want to be LIKE that guy , combining the qualities you have already with the ones that you don t have. I believe if you re not constantly searching to be better in life or have better qualities, whether they re manlier or not, what s the point of existing in life? It s human nature to try to be better in one way or another. For example, if there s an update for your iphone, are you not going to take it? No, because that update is going to make it better.

Depiction Of Struggle And Division Depiction of Struggle and Division in Text Throughout this class, the main goal was to analyze these texts as though we were scholars, and to make connections and identify common themes amongst them. By doing so, we were supposed to be able to more deeply understand each text and the argument each was making. Throughout the readings, the most prominent themes were that of struggle and division, though it is certainly more prevalent and obvious in certain texts than others. Though all the texts depict division and struggle, they focus on different societal divisions This depiction of struggle first became clear during the reading of Plato s Republic in book I, where Thrasymachus said of justice, Justice is nothing more than what is advantageous for the stronger (Plato 15). When examined further, Thrasymachus answer came to mean that what benefits the stronger, more powerful class of people is what he calls justice. Thrasymachus answer posed a struggle between those with more power and influence and those who held less powerful positions in their respective City states. While Socrates overturned Thrasymachus definition of justice, the discussion turned to government and justice in Book VIII, when Socrates spoke of the eventual decay of government into Tyranny.

He states; Most of the time (at the Fed) we d be supportive, helpful В– but if you do something wrong, watch out (Tufts). One example of McDonough being supportive is not requiring public accounting firms to sell their tax and corporate finance practices (Michaels). To require firms to become audit only would have created animosity towards the PCAOB and further push back on any standard that the PCAOB would issue in the future. By allowing firms to keep their tax business he is reducing future conflicts and getting buy off from public accounting firms on tough auditing standards that the PCAOB is and will issue. He is trying to foster a win win attitude. Will this approach work is hard to determine at this time. The PCAOB board is so new, only time will tell if his approach is effective or not.

(4) How and why does the relative importance among these factors in China differ from the Western context? The п¬Ѓndings and implications of this study is important not only to Chinese businesses as they wrestle with CSR as a strategic component of business, but also to Western businesses as they plough large amounts of investments into China to take advantage of the burgeoning consumer market. The next section provides an overview of the literature on CSR and the consumer s perspective in particular. In the third section, we explain the data and methodology used in this article.

If we do not expect nothing in return except for our fellow man to have what he needs to make it in life, we will in turn receive more productive members of society, we will receive less starving, freezing, lonely people on the streets, and we will receive compassion if we ever end up there too. Perhaps another roadblock put in front of us, as explained in 7 Lies About Welfare by Danica Johnson, is the stigma people give to those of us who are less fortunate. When someone thinks of a person in poverty they think of homelessness at worst, living in subsidized housing at best. They don t consider that it is not always like that. Some live in their own places and out of all the help provided, maybe they only need to use food stamps. Danica tells how most people do not even know what welfare even is, they just think of lazy individuals trying to cash in taxpayer money for luxury items and drugs. They don t know what their tax dollars go toward, how much of it, and what the programs even do. In fact, most government assisted programs seek to provide only the bare minimum amount of help that an individual or a family need to survive. Also to be noted, most benefit programs require recipients to work at least 30 hours a week in order to be eligible. Sometimes even between 35 50 hours a week for two parent households.
