The Epic of Gilgamesh is an epic poem from ancient Mesopotamia. It is often considered as one of the most ponderable works of literature. The literary history of the poem begins with five Sumerian poems about “Gilgamesh”, who was a king of Uruk. Then, these above-indicated separate stories were used as a major source material for a combined epic. The principal character was two-thirds god and one-third man. He built prodigious and dignified temple towers, which surrounded his city with high walls. Although he was physically immensely strong and beautiful as well as very prudent mentally, but as a ...

In 1929 my grandfather took the train that runs along the Mediterranean coast from Haifa in the historic Palestine, to the city of Beirut in Lebanon. He did so to catch a ship taking off to Brazil, the New World. There was a strong wave of migration to the new world, even though the only way of traveling at that time was by ship, and this took over three months to reach the port of Rio de Janeiro.

Once at the new land, officials referred to my grandfather as the Turku, even though he was, in fact, Arabic. They did so as ...

There were many ways that the people of America contributed to the war effort during the Second World War, with many different areas having their own ways of pitching in. New Jersey, however, had a particularly important role in this world-changing series of events. While most of the contributions to the Allied forces included the construction of materials and ships with which to fight, a few important moments helped to bring New Jersey to the active war front. Furthermore, many social and political battles were being fought in New Jersey as a result of the change in demographics in the war, including ...

Ferraro’s critical reflection on culture affirms the critical role that culture plays in the society. Reading the reflection generated new learning for me in respect to understanding that culture is acquired and that no culture is inferior to the other. I learnt that it is possible for one culture to “kill” the other as it happened in Australia where domination of Aboriginal culture by that of the Europeans deprived them social and economic advancement (Edwards, 1998). The extinction of one culture deprives the world of cultural diversity and could have detrimental consequences to the environment.

The reflection on ...

The journal article “the image of God” was written with the purpose of revealing a number of things. Among these things is the scarcity and brevity with which the Old Testament has referred to the doctrine stated as the image of God. Consequently, the scarce and brief reference has been made in such versus as Genesis 1:26, Genesis 5:2 and Genesis 9:6. Therefore, the author came up with the journal as a way of highlighting the importance that the doctrine bears, which is beyond all proportion, in relation to the laconic treatment that the doctrine receives in Old Testament. The paper ...

Adding to the above, examples of nations that have performed well include Israel and Egypt. In respect to Zionism, general aspects involve religion, the labor sectors in addition to green form of Zionism. What this means is that the nation of Israel is associated with Jews and their religion as well as traditions that relate to them. These traditions act as a link between the people living in Israel and the Israel land (Senor, 119). The author sights the aspect of chutzpah as being the motivator for entrepreneurship in Israel. What this means is that if someone in Israel has a ...

“Our parson has gone mad!” cried Goodman Gray (Hawthorne, 2001, 26). The young minister, Mr. Hooper, shocked his parishioners one Sunday morning by wearing a black veil while he gave the sermon. Then to make the shock even worse the minister did not remove the veil even for his daily activities. He wore it all the time even though his fiancé broke their engagement and others cringed to see him coming.

The minister’s new look made a visible impression on those around but he would not explain to anyone the reason he started wearing a black crape veil over his eyes. ...

Theodore Roosevelt is the 26th president of the United States having held office from 1901 – 1909 (Thayer, 2007).

Roosevelt always considered himself as the people’s steward and felt obligated to take any necessary actions for the public good. Even so, he never usurped power and always worked within the confines ...

One great American historian Werner Sombart, 1906, once referred to America as in the Canaan of capitalism, implying that America was meant to offer the European capitalists the “Promised Land” and this they in deed found once they got to America. Capitalism led to the rise of owners and non owners of the means of investments, an investor would set up a manufacturing company and the non owners would then be used as sources of labor and this led to class development in the early (America Lichtenstein, Nelson. 2005).

Some of the main characteristics of a capitalist economy include the existence ...

Nativism has long been a central human behavior, dating back to the very beginning of time. Outsiders in majority cultures suffer in many ways. Their linguistic hurdles in interacting with the majority culture open them up to the victimization that comes with being cheated. Whether taking place in ancient times or during the twenty-first century, it has been very difficult, at times, for new immigrants to succeed in their new land. Sometimes they go to a land that does not have enough opportunities for their new residents, and so things become tense between the original residents and the newcomers. So many ...

On May 6, 1895, a 70-foot-high monument memorializing Confederate dead was dedicated before an enthusiastic crowd featuring local dignitaries and leaders of Confederate organizations. The statue was part of a wave of commemorations honoring martyrs to the Lost Cause, ceremonies that were commonplace throughout the South for nearly a half-century after Lee’s surrender at Appomattox. This ceremony, however, took place in Louisville, Kentucky, the largest city in a state that never seceded from the union and which housed thousands of federal troops throughout the war. It is a measure of the power of the Lost Cause that 30 years after the war ended ...

The equilibrium price is determined by forces of demand and supply of a commodity. At the equilibrium point the quantity of coffee supplied in the market is equal to quantity demanded. This means that suppliers will sell all the quantity they supply and customers will be able to get the quantity they need from the market. The equilibrium price will therefore be shown by the intersection of supply and demand curve.

However, when I go to purchase a tin of 500 grams of coffee I do not always pay the same price. This means that the equilibrium price keeps on changing ...

One of the examples of the organizational change that I have experienced was a restructuring of the company X and its transition from a divisional to a matrix structure. The goal of the change was to enhance product orientation and to facilitate information exchange across organizational functions (Galbraith, 2009). However, the benefits of the new structure were not fully realized due to a significant resistance of the people within the company. The new structure created numerous coordination problems and demanded an adjustment period for all employees. However, since personnel and managers usually have different assessment of the change results, most of the staff ...

Every single art can have a dominant role. If a particular artwork seems to be more dominating than most of the other artworks, that particular artwork could be a prototype that other artists could use in developing their art. This is what typically happens no matter how much an artist may deny it. They usually adopt ideas from other artist, use them as prototype and make their own ideas and then apply such to their own artworks. Although some characteristics could be imitated, it could still be called unique. The cycle goes on and on until a new generation of artworks or an ...

Counseling is a method of that allows change or choice to reduce uncertainty but it does not necessitate the directing or giving of advice to a client to take a certain course of action. Counseling happens when a psychotherapist counsels a patient in a confidential and private setting to investigate, loss of a purpose and direction, a problem the patient has or distress they may perhaps be experiencing or their frustration with life. Counselors’ do not exploit or judge their patients in any particular way. Nevertheless, counseling is all the time done at the request of the patient as no individual may appropriately be compelled to go ...

The first essay answers questions regarding Kate Chopin’s short story “The Story of an Hour,” where the ending offers more than a small shock as to how and why the female protagonist dies. She does feel a joy that kills, but unfortunately, it is not the joy that ended her life, rather it was the cruel taking away of a joyful life that she intended on living after her husband’s death. The second essay deals with questions regarding Shirley Jackson’s equally shocking story “The Lottery,” which gives a frightening portrayal of what happens when people blindly follow traditions they do ...

The decision on which ability is the highest comes when there are two or more directives that are govern from the persons who are high in command than I am.

The issue of confidence is measured in two main areas; addressing a person who I above me in authority, and meeting a new person or new scenario. In most cases, ...

According to Gilderman (2012) the United States experienced their largest heroin epidemic from 1967 to 1971; the second largest epidemic lasted from 1976 to 1981 (para. 9). So generally when people hear about a heroin epidemic they immediately think back to the 60s and 70s. There seems to be no recognition that there could be an ongoing epidemic of heroin use right now in the United States. Not only that, the epidemic is global including large areas of sub-Saharan African countries as well as in other locations around the world.

The question considered in this essay is: Does a new heroin ...

Quality managers have the role of ensuring that the services and products a company sells are of high standards and meet both customer and regulatory expectations. When all this is done the quality manager then has the responsibility of ensuring that the company is consistent in achieving the standards set (Russ, 2005, p. 16). Due the demanding nature of their job, quality managers are in several situations faced by several ethical and legal issues.

A major ethical issue that quality managers face is ensuring that no short-cuts are taken during production if they affect the value of the product. Many a ...

Should we Tax the Rich More? It’s the right time that national leaders had the great courage to push higher tax on the well-off. There are other solutions available to the country’s federal debt problem that will not require increasing taxes paid by the average earner than to target the one that has the larger means. The government’s decade-long avoidance to the term tax and relying on the silly euphemisms of surcharges and revenue enhancement should end. President Barack Obama has done a significant decision by pointing out the idea of imposing higher tax to the ...

Core measures refer to a set of quality performance measures that are meant to improve quality in hospitals (The Joint Commission). Hospitals have been required to address these core measures over the past 15 years. These measures are very much applied today to level hospital clinical performance, while at the same time encouraging improvement. Core measure results are also posted on websites so as to ease comparison by customers interested in shopping for certain hospital services (The Joint Commission). Psychiatric Hospitals are expected to yield data on the Hospital-Based Inpatient Psychiatric Services (HBIPS) core measure (The Joint Commission). These ...

Food webs contain a delicate balance of species that when allowed to run naturally will result in fluctuations in population sizes such that the number of surviving predators depends on the number of prey available. As environmental conditions such as weather patterns change so does the potential for changes in population sizes. Humans have assumed a stewardship role with respect to the environment and tend to want to keep populations of various animals constant so the environment is easier to manage. This is one reason why humans now hunt various species such as deer, duck, wolf, and bear.

The conflicting American and Muslim view of women in Muslim societies

Over the years, the image of a Muslim woman has been changing. From the completely covered one, to the college going, educated woman, Muslim women have seen radical changes in last few decades. However, even though the Muslim world has revolutionized in its own manner, a conflicting image is still seen in the eyes of American women with respect to Muslim women. The ‘Hijab’ or the veil that is sacred to Muslims has been a topic of discussion lately. The recent ban of the headscarf in France and Britain has stirred a ...

American English began around 1607 when the first English settlement was established in Virginia. During this period, for scholars to distinguish the English language from the present day English, they referred to the language as the Early Modern English (Wolfram and Schilling-Estes 104). Differences between the Early Modern English and the modern English can be seen in the differences in the dialects within the British English language. In addition, these dialects resulted to different dialects in the States as various people from the different speech regions settled in different parts of America. The colonists who came to Virginia ...

If you walk into one of the more popular megachurches today and start attending it regularly for a year, it is unlikely that you will ever hear a sermon from the Old Testament. The stories from the gospels, and the principles of St. Paul, with perhaps an occasional look some of the other letters, will dominate the sermons that you hear. The reason for this is that the lessons of the gospels and letters are fairly simple to tie up in a homily of 20 minutes or half an hour’s time. The parables of Jesus are short, and he explains them, ...

There has always a good relation between arts and business. For a long time, businesses have evolved in a symbiotic relationship with arts in which art provides a product that business can thrive. The relation is complete by improvement of art and art technology due to increased business opportunity. A good example is the art of writing and the business of publishing. While several works of art have been published, business empires have emerged from publishing such art. This research examines business support for art during the Renaissance era.

This is a period between the 14th and 17th century in which the culture of ...

According to Joseph Nye, the term “soft power” describes an influence method, which indirectly attracts people by using reputation, values and general public appeal. The concept is often compared to the “hard power”, which uses threats and carrots in order to co-opt people around a common goal. Although “soft power” is often believed to be the driving force of a new globalization phase, the role of this power remain ambiguous, especially in relation to the more traditional “hard power”.

The most apparent benefits of the “soft power” are its ease, effectiveness and efficiency. It does not require additional resources, however, the ...

Almost all the religions of the world have imagined the great flood which was meant to destroy the civilization from the earth. Most of the flood related stories discuss a hero who fights the flood, survives and causes the continuance of the humanity on the earth. This paper discusses different and popular versions of the great flood. The epic of Gilgamesh is one of the most popular Babylonian tales and according to this story, a king finds Ut-napistim while in quest of immortality. The gods say “previously Ut-napištim was a human being. But now let Ut-napištim and his wife ...

Originally a commemoration and demonstration to mark New York’s Stonewall’s Riots of 1969, the Sydney Mardi Gras has grown to become one of the world’s largest festivals. The Sydney Mardi Gras was first inaugurated in 1979 when a protest march was held to commemorate the events of the previous year in which 53 protesters were arrested (Coorey, 2011). The 2-week long is now an annual festival and pride parade for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Intersex (LGBTQI) people (CNW Group, 2012). The event brings together thousands of people from Australia and beyond and is an important ...

Arguably, in the entire history of United States, the most unusual and peculiar event was California acquisition, as well as the New Mexico. The acquisition was tremendously significant in development and expansion of United States. Furthermore, it was the most significant outcome of Mexican War, more important as the annexing of Texas. In the year, 1846-1848, Mexican-American war took place; momentarily, this was the most defining opportunity of American history. Perhaps, in the year 1850, California became part of United States. The Mexican Army was defeated by United States army, after various engagements the army entered Mexico City. Generally, ...

Arguably, Rene Descartes is one fathers of philosophy who approach the issue of knowledge and thinking in a different and unique stance. According to Descartes, human beings have decisive knowledge of his/her own existence; this is because man is a thinking being. Here, is where he developed the philosophy of cognition, meaning “I think, therefore, I am”. Descartes developed the philosophy of mind/body dualism to escape the Cartesian impasse. Certainly, the common sense perspective of body and mind is that both interact. This implies that our intentions, perceptions, anxieties, as well as thoughts directly affect our actions and our bodies. Additionally, ...

Ruether, Rosemary Radford Gaia and God ( Introduction and Chp. 1, "Three Classical Creation Stories." And Chp. 2, "Does Science Have a New Creation Story"?)

Fox, Matthew "Viriditas: Greening Power" In these articles, the authors consider various aspects of the debate between life and science which is all important in today’s day and age. In the first story, Ruether and Radford espouse the importance of God in the context of the creation which is not always considered appropriately but which also focuses on how the creation may be understood from a non scientific point of view.

1. Explain the key components of the new world value chain. Provide a minimum of two key success factors for each component of the value chain.

The key components of the value chain in the wine industry are the input suppliers; the

wine grape producers, the wineries; the sales and distribution; and the consumers (Drew). The input suppliers include those that provide advice, information, machinery, and chemicals, as well as those involved in financing the business and in conducting research and development. Two success factors involved in this component are technology and finances. Technology enables wine producers to ...

In very simple terms communication can be defined as information transmission or an exchange of ideas between parties (assuming that the message is received and fully understood). However, a more detailed definition of communication can be given with consideration to the purpose and the framework of the communication process. Although current technology level has expanded the notion of communication far beyond a face-to-face conversation, the empirical evidence has demonstrated that personal contact significantly enhances dialogue between the parties, while all the technology-driven communication means, such e-mails and phones, remain inferior compared to discussing in person.

This factor had a detrimental effect on ...

The Book of Genesis is the first book listed in the Old Testament as well as in the Hebrew Bible. It includes the stories of the world’s creation, the people’s exile from the Paradise, the stories about the Great Flood and Babel Tower and many others. In these parables God is described as the most powerful creature in the Universe, he can rule people and their lives but he is also a kind Father for his kids, who did lots of mistakes and can still be forgiven though. Undoubtedly, the God is the central character of the Book ...

The church has always been an important focal point for the African American community in every part of the United States but perhaps nowhere more than in New York where the cultural variances of the population are rather intense in many ways. African Americans have a lot to do with spirituality and singing is an important part of their cultural makeup so this intrinsically means that they need a forum to promote their singing characteristics and techniques. However the church in New York is suffering from an intrinsic lack of interest and apathy which have seen its numbers decline considerably ...

Questions of chapter 12

Question 12-9 Sunk costs are those which have been incurred in the past and cannot be recovered. Therefore they are irrelevant to a new project because they don’t affect investor’s decision regarding viability of a project. Hence, it is illogical to include them in determination of cash flow associated with a project that is why they are excluded in the calculation of cash flow (Titman, Keown, & Martin,2011).

Question 12-5

In computation cash flows associated with an investment Loan principal amount and interest rate are cash out flows relating to financing activities (financial costs). ...

Assessing the impact of new technologies is hard. There are gains and there are also risks. Even when the benefits are clear, their side effects and costs may not be obvious. While convenience is their number one utility, there are many social drawbacks and disadvantages as well, to our society at large. For instance, the introduction of the automated teller machines (ATM) led to online banking. At the onset, this change brought a lot of convenience to most of us. Yet, in hindsight, there were negative consequences to it. Automated machines have brought about unemployment in the banking sector, ...

Part 1. After reading the Perry assignment, develop a set of categories ("new industries," "new inventions," "business organization," etc.) that cover the kinds of topics Perry discusses. Then, still using Perry, list under each category the relevant innovations. Several innovations came through in the second half of the 19th century amongst which one may list the clothes mill which revolutionized industry and the clothes trade.

The Treaty of Paris that was signed in 1783 brought to end the hostilities between Britain and its colonies (GMW, 2010). This treaty marked the beginning of American Independence and Britain consented to remove its military establishments from American soil. After the treaty was signed the new American nation was formed and it was now a sovereign country that could make its own decisions. A significant point to note is that after the treaty was signed, Britain decided to forego some of the debts it was owed by America based on the argument that the British colonization of the country ...

I. Summary of Cases

The 142-year-old toy company was forced to closed shop on that year after it declared bankruptcy twice in 2003. FAO Schwarz got into financial trouble after it could not keep up with the heavy price discounts offered on toys by Wal-Mart and Target. They were selling toys that were pricier than those also being sold by the two chain store giants. But the turnaround for the toy firm came when new management came in, making it possible for the reopening of its Manhattan and Las Vegas stores. The new owners attributed their success to ...

Growing up in a community where children were fond of claiming that when they grew up they would be doctors or engineers had almost influenced me into taking that line of reasoning and career goal. To be more precise, that happened to be my line of pursuit for the better part of the childhood classes. By the eleventh grade, I had not quite made up my mind on what I really wanted to do. Coming from a family that owned a relatively small hotel from which we made a livelihood from, many times while out of school, I would find ample time to ...

1. (a) Brave Clean World is the best way to transition to hydrogen. Hydrogen Genie relies on market-driven competition; the problem is that market-driven economy is what is in place now. If the market alone was going to push the transition to the alternative fuel of hydrogen then this would have happened already. It might take a very long time for hydrogen to become viable if we wait for the market which seems to be hooked on oil. New World, Old Weapons is a good strategy to include along with the Brave Clean World strategy; modern technologies are designed to make fossil ...

With the advent of new technologies, several new devices that aims in providing support to the different groups of people also arises. New devices intended to provide better services of classrooms, offices and other sectors are some of these new devices. One such device is the computer. A computer is basically “a programmable machine that can respond to a programmed list of instructions”. Computers are very commonly used today in classrooms, offices, homes, and even during travel. Although computers are very commonly used today, there are still a lot of people who are afraid of using them because they lack knowledge ...

1. What do you make of Steel’s behavior? Do you think his actions were unethical? Which ones specifically and why? Steel’s behavior is more of the petty-type than it is damaging to personnel and or company image. Much of it has to do with managing a former CEO with a different style and the CEO’s crony (for lack of a better word). His methods are abrasive to Sharp and Block because they are used to having power. Being phased out is never easy unless you’re in total agreement with your replacement.

Steel has vision that does not ...

Sensory perception in human beings is far from being perfect. Human eye cannot see beyond the rainbow spectrum of colours (VIBGYOR), even though they are capable of discerning a single colour from several millions of them arranged together. The ear is capable of picking up sounds at frequencies of twenty thousand cycles per second, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t sounds at higher frequencies. Unlike some animals, we cannot sense electric or magnetic fields in our surroundings, but in addition to the five traditional senses, we can also motion and balance, temperature and the relative position of the ...

For my proposed study, I wish to examine a new methodology for second language acquisition of Arabic at the DLI. In my study I wish to perform qualitative studies on the ease by which the students taking these language courses learn the language, and how the overall education experience is received by them, positive or negative. In this way, I will be learning how new stimuli affect the participants in this extremely specific setting (Arabic language learning in a defense language context).

Qualitative science and understanding seems to be the primary theoretical framework by which I plan on performing my study. ...

A database is a collection of logically related data that is organized for the purpose of ease of access, management and update. Databases are classified according to their organizational approach.

Six months back, due to transfer of a colleague, a new person joined in my team. The team in which I work comprises of four people and we work very closely and share responsibilities. Due to shared projects and responsibility, we had developed an understanding to assist each other if the work is pending with anyone. However, the transfer of one of the team member and introduction of a new colleague disturbed the dynamics of our team. The day we were introduced to our new team member, I noticed him looking apparently disinterested in initiating conversation. His conversation with us was limited ...

Why was there a great debate in the 1920’s about the future? Who won it, the modernists or the fundamentalists? Would you characterize this period primarily as the Age of Jazz or as the Age of Prohibition? The 1920’s could be seen as a defining point in history for a number of reasons. First of all after the end of the First World war, the old order was collapsing and society became more open with the world of landed gentry and suchlike vanishing off the face of the earth as if it never existed. Consequentially life began changing even ...

Gold (chemical symbol Au and atomic number 79) is a shiny, dense, soft, ductile and malleable metal. In its pure state, gold is bright yellow in color with a luster considered traditionally and to date as attractive. It is an element of group 11of the periodic table under the transitional metals. Gold is among the least reactive chemical elements and does not oxidize in water or air. It therefore occurs as a free element in most cases in forms of grains or nuggets in rocks, in alluvial deposits, and in veins. Gold also occurs, though rarely, as gold compound e.g. with tellurium. ...

Terrain influenced surveillance in that the large coverage of a plateau which made the allied troops to easily survey the New York town closely and arrange for an attack. This type of terrain encouraged direct fire since there were no places for hideouts and this caused massive deaths and injuries to both troops.

Arguably, the world we live in is getting stranger each an everyday. People have turned religion to be a scapegoat in condemning and justifying evil in the world. On a perspective of a veteran military, WBC (Westborough Baptist church) is one of a kind. The recent stand of Westborough Baptist church on thanking God for dead soldiers in the war front is a devastating and immoral act, especially to the families and the state that lose their loved ones in protecting the entire America. The church certainly, is known for picketing various funerals functions of American soldiers who never survived in Iraq warfront. Additionally, ...

I, keeping this in view would understand the factors restraining cutters to minimize the fabric by ensuring that the die-cut doesn’t break. The major factor identified to be is ...

The expansion of the American railroad system in the 19th century brought with it unprecedented economic and cultural change – which also happened at an unprecedented pace. It is almost impossible for us, in the early 21st century, to conceive the complete transformation that the railroad was responsible for – both directly and indirectly. Westland and Clark (12) compare the impact of the railroad on ordinary life with the impact of the internet on our generation. Indeed, in 1900 the railroad was responsible for 15% of American GDP – roughly equivalent to the internet’s impact on the American economy. Early in ...

Macro environment analysis Economic The pharmaceutical industry is now globalized which has opened the company to more research and development at a lesser coat. This is possible in the third world countries and the market gets wider for the company. The only danger posed by this globalization is that other countries such as India can also produce generic drugs in large quantities and at lower prices.

A new legislation by the federal government of America is that the pharmaceutical companies have been obliged to disclose to the public the grants that they have made to groups and physicians. ...

Religion played various roles in the lives of the characters in Jubilee. Discuss the role of religion in the novel. How did different characters or groups of characters shape or reshape religion to meet their needs? What parts of the bible did each group emphasize? Religion takes two major contrasting roles in this novel. To one group, the white people, it is a justification of superiority over the black people, while for the black people; it is a source of hope and a place of refuge.

“The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will.” This quote by Vince Lombardi, one of the greatest football coaches in the world, became my inspiration.

Keynesian theory was more of a socialist one and fanatically defending the free markets as the same time. Keynesian economics warns against the practice of ...

For those who consider the disputed 2000 Presidential election between George W. Bush and Al Gore to have been controversial, the story that takes place just before the opening of Sophocles’ Antigone must seem downright barbaric. If you consider the chaos that the previous year or so had brought down on Thebes, Antigone’s wrath could just as well be considered the bellowing of an entire city, weary of its rulers’ drama. Oedipus had died after blinding and exiling himself, on the heels of discovering that he actually had fulfilled the Oracle’s prophecy of killing his father and ...

A leader must have a passion for whatever course or vision they are leading. This deep passion is what is then transferred to the followers and also acts as a motivation to work for the goals even when times are tough. For example in the Bible, the prophet Nehemiah heard about the destruction of Jerusalem’s wall and was filled with grief of how his people had been disgraced by their enemies (Nehemiah 1:4). It is cause of this passion that Nehemiah asked for permission from the King Artaxerxes to go and rebuild the wall of Jerusalem. This passion motivated both ...

Creativity within an organization can often be the lifeblood of that organization - the output that is gleaned from those individuals and employees responsible for creative provide the signature appeal of an organization. New ideas, new markets and new innovations are the things that prevent stagnation; it is one of the most important concepts inherent to an organization. However, creativity cannot be forced; new methods and strategies have to be implemented in order to guide creativity and inspire innovation - otherwise, creative staff becomes complacent, lazy or overstressed with the pressure of creating ideas out of thin air. This ...

When developing new products, there is the temptation to follow psychological inertia, which is the tendency for the mind to jump to certain types of solutions for problems. This can lead to stunting of ideas and the diminishing of new concepts, leading to the establishment of a systemized approach to product development. TRIZ is a system that provides unique laws of evolution that can guide product development in a more comprehensive way.

There are nine laws of technical systems evolution that inform the TRIZ process. Static laws include the law of completeness of parts of the system, which dictates that four parts ...

William LeMessurier was the big brain behind the Citicorp building’s architecture built in downtown Manhattan in 1977. He innovatively solved the problem of constructing the structure on a land owned by a church by building it above the church. So Citicorp’s first floor was nine equivalent floors above ground level and it remained supported by four tall columns placed not at the corners of the building but instead at the center of each side of the building. Satisfying all the New York building code requirements, the Citicorp building was a success. After a concerned phone call from a student in June ...

Introduction In his book “The World is Flat” Thomas Friedman addressed issues of contemporary global business environment and its latest changes over the past thirty years. The author analyzed the history of global business development applying the term “flat” to the world as a space for business operating and the term “flattener” for the factors influencing global business changes (Friedman, 2005). The current paper is devoted to the critical analysis of three chapters of the book. Three factors making impact on business development are reviewed using material from the second chapter of the book. An analysis of practical ...

The origins of Western culture are actually near the border of what we now consider the edge of the region where its tenets and practices hold sway. In the sands of the Mediterranean Sea, where the ancient Greek and, later, Roman civilizations emerged, many of the basic values in Western civilization came into being. Using reason and logic as its bases, Western culture has developed into a corpus of knowledge that has grown into a small but consistent group of tenets, such as the placement of a high value on scientific progress, an attempt to permit free markets, and the ascendancy of ...

The Book of Jubilees is an ancient religious text which is not part of the Bible but which is deemed to be an apocryphal text which actually covers most of the Ground of the Genesis book in the Bible. It does differ substantially from what we find in the authorative text and tackles certain aspects rather differently. A typical example would be the incestuous relationship that one may find between the son of Adam and Eve, Cain and his wife which is not the case in the Bible but which makes for rather interesting reading. Basically the Jubilees ...

Is public school education the right place for elementary and high school students or would private church-affiliated schools to a better job of educating students?

Others say the public schools are great and offer more flexibility for teaching students to meet the challenges in the modern world.

Historically the role of public education has been to educate students to help the meet the challenges of their contemporary world. A constant problem for doing this is making sure that the public schools’ curriculum ...

Introduction There is no other dramatic turn in the Christian literature and history far greater than when the Roman Emperor, Constantine, converted to Christianity. Cohen (p. 1) described Constantine as a successful general. His father was a successful general as well and he was trained for military leadership. He led the army at the West. He inched his way to the Roman Empire by his leadership and military might. Constantine claimed to have had a vision of a Chi Ro (p. 1). This is a symbol of Christ, shining above the sun. Recognizing it as a divine sign, Constantine made his soldiers paint ...

A child with social learning problems are unable to pay attention, work harder, or even to have improved motivation by themselves. These children are in need of expert assistance in order to improve on their learning skills. A learning problem is not about one’s intelligence.

The different versions of David’s sculpture are all based on the Christian Bible, Old Testament. According to the Bible, David was young man who had the courage to face the gigantic Goliath and killed him during a war. In Florence, David was seen as a political and religious symbol.

His first piece was made of marble. Later, in 1440, Donatello made another statue using bronze. It was a first of its ...

The Merneptah Stele, also known as the Israel Stele, is the earliest known reference, outside of the Old Testament, to the existence of Israel (Alstrom and Edelman, 1985). It is a tome inscribed by Merneptah, an Egyptian king who conquered Canaan in the 12th century BC. Its significance lies in its mention of the nation or people of Israel in its coda, and as such has gained the title “The Israel Stele,” despite the nations’ relative unimportance in the overall text. In this paper, the examination of early Israel through the Mernaptah Stele will be discussed, as well as how ...

In Tom Paine’s “What I Believe,” he uses a number of rhetorical devices to get his audience to agree with him on his point that tolerance must be lent to those who share different religious beliefs. These devices convince the audience of Paine’s authority and the validity of his arguments. At the same time, Stanton’s “The Book of Genesis from The Women’s Bible” creates a much more extreme argument, using rhetoric to claim that her opinion is more valid than the opinion of her opponents. In this paper, we will examine both rhetorical techniques and determine the ...

In Athanasius’ On the Incarnation of the Word, Athanasius speaks of Christ as a figure who was intended to provide salvation to all, and restore harmony to humanity. Christ was an incarnation of the Word of God, and therefore, he was God. First, Athanius discusses the fact that Man is made in God’s image. Man is connected very strongly to the word of God, particularly through its incarnation into Jesus Christ. At the same time, man quickly turned to sin and debauchery, due to a rejection of the contemplation of God.

This led to a marring of God’s name, it ...

It is not often that one takes the time to retrospect, introspect and prospect since with pressures of daily living according to the Caribbean Reggae Legend, the late Bob Marley (1981), we are all caught up the mighty Rat Race of life, which has indeed infected the human race. ‘(Marley, 1981). As such, this is an awesome privilege for me to seriously embrace where I was, where I am and more importantly, where I am heading, especially, in this new professional practice. With some degree of nostalgia, inevitably I must first withdraw sentiments expressed through Thomas Hardy’s ( ...

There are many people living on earth today and those who passed on that could be considered ‘living a thoughtful life.’ My icon in this generation is a man by the name of Barrack Hussein Obama. His thoughtful living has phenomenally raised him to the position of being the first African- American to gain remarkable prominence in the American society.

He can be exemplified as living a thoughtful life by showing African- Americans that it is not impossible after endless years of imposed Jim Crow policies with actual apartheid in American for a person from this segregated group to gain the position of ...

The last era in the Old Testament is known as the restoration and is defined by scholars as the period that God restored His people back to Judah. In actual terms the house that was restored was that of Judah. This house is differentiated from other tribes of Israel using the term Jews. The Jewish community had become idolatrous and sinful which made them not appealing before God’s eyes, He hence turned His face from them and they lost His protective grace (Wood, 1998, p. 316). Due to this the Jews were taken into captivity by the Babylonians ...

Compare and contrast Mary Rowlandson’ A Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration with Harriet Jacobs, Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl We might expect these two texts to be completely different from each other because they come from such different genres. A Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration is an example of the captivity narrative genre, which was very popular in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and beyond – until the American frontier was finally closed towards the end of the nineteenth century. They always involved European prisoners, held captive or hostage by indigenous tribes people, before being ...

In Brumberg’s chapter “Tales Out of School,” he details how young Jewish immigrants learned and were integrated into the American school system. The biggest thing that stuck out to me was the passage about the growing Americanization of the students of these schools, regardless of heritage:

“Bleeding form and content, ritual and subject matter, the schools provided its immigrant students with a new “American” persona. The school clerk often changed the names of recent arrivals. Among these interviewed, we find Moses changed to Morris, and Nachum to Nathan. Last names became altered as well.”

This idea is extremely disconcerting ...

Male love and desire for sex was a common erotic and affectional ground for males, a territory that was shared equally by men who did not have a desire for sex with female, and the rest of the male, who were having a desire for males, was a chance for them to get attracted. The traditions suggested that the excluded heterosexuality is just but a convection of latest vintage, based on the refusal of one’s own potential strength of homosexuality. There was some difference between present and past construction of men love and desire for homosexuality as it was highlighted by the Zeus and ...

One of the most fundamental principles in hydrology and ecology is the hydrologic cycle. This cycle represents the process of water circulations from the oceans, atmosphere, land and back to the ocean. The energy driving the cycle is from the solar/sun and forces of gravity. The process is continuous, and is a global wide process ensuring that every water drop on earth is part of the system (Harper et al n.d).

At the beginning of the process, water from the seas, lakes, wetlands, rivers gain energy from the sun and get transferred to the atmosphere as vapor. The sun provides ...
