Some of the features present in Flagstaff include a pine forest that to the West of the city, significantly different weather from that of Kuwait, the attitude of the Flagstaff community, the seemingly superior resources and economic trends. ...

Yin and Yang are the basic principle and concept for both Chinese philosophy and culture that is traced back to the third century BCE. According to the principle, all the things that exist and surround us are inseparable and contradicting. Examples of this are female-male, old-young, darkness-light. These opposing aspects attract each other and, as it is illustrated by the well-known symbol of Yin-Yang principle, each of opposites has a part of the other in its core.

According to the principle, Yin stands for:

Feminine Black Dark North Cold Providing spirit for all things and so forth On the contrary, in terms of Chinese philosophy Yin ...

Define and discuss time and space utility

Products must be transported from the place where they are produced to the place where customers demand it to be delivered. The value-add that the product gains due to its transport is called space utility. The time utility is the length of time before or between the product deliveries, which consists of mostly storage and inventory time. When the organizations are able to deliver the goods at a time they are needed, then their time utility increases.

YOURSCHOOLHERE C13 Economics Assignment 08 Part 1 Monopolies develop in several ways (Vandewetering, n.d.). There are “natural” monopolies that emerge from the scales of some businesses. Electric generation utilities, for example, require multi-million dollar investments in the plant and more millions to build the distribution infrastructure. At these levels of entry costs, virtually no competition can develop. Some monopolies develop around ownership of a scarce resource. The DeBeers company, for example, controls a large percentage of the world’s supply of diamonds. The third form of monopoly is the result of government action. For example, patent and copyright protection ...

Some places in Rwanda are prone to disasters. The most frequent natural disasters are floods and landslides, and both have a tremendous impact on human lives, property, infrastructure and the environment. For example, in May 2016, both disasters hit Gakenke and Muhanga, killing more than forty people. Rubavu and Ngororero were also hit, and seven people died in these places while others were left injured. Parts of Northern Rwanda are most susceptible to these disasters (REMA, 2011, 45). These include Rubavu Districts, Musanze, Nyabihu, and Burera. Although these are natural disasters, their magnitude is determined by a combination of ...

The short story ‘Boys and Girls’ was written by Alice Munro and was first published in 1968. The story is set in the mid-20th century in Canada between a time of war and the industrial revolution, giving birth to the use of machines. The protagonist in Alice Munro’s story is a young girl growing in the transition from childhood to teenage. The main character enjoys the freedom of growing up as a child without defined gender roles or distinction assigned to neither her nor her brother. As a young teenager, however, she is confronted by the burden of ...

Customer Centricity has been explained as a business strategy where business functions revolve around understanding and satisfying customer needs. MacDonald (2016) terms it as a strategy which means putting the customer first and at the centre of a business that consists of understanding the customer needs, building a relationship with him and retaining him. From the 4 Ps of Management, the focus has changed to ‘get, keep, grow’ – meaning getting customers, retaining them and serving them facilities which help in winning over other customers too. A Customer Strategy focuses on the acquisition of customers, retaining them and increasing revenues ...

Introduction For many years, Amnesty International has been a champion for global humanitarian and human rights issues. With the world continuously evolving, Amnesty International has adapted to these changes and accommodated them. Due to population growth, the world has witnessed continued conflicts over resources specifically in Africa and the Middle East. These conflicts are fueled by political regimes and their ideologies, (Weinstein 2010). Terror groups such as Boko Haram, Al-Shabaab and Islamic State (IS), have continuously violated human rights. In most African countries, dictatorial rule has come under threat with masses becoming more educated and informed of their human ...

Literature review When in the MSDI conference that was conducted in the late 1980s and at the beginning of 1990s, the concept of brand equity was discussed then participants agreed that there are two sorts of brand equity that includes financial brand equity and consumer based brand equity. Financial brand equity is related to the value of the company as it the brand of the consumer is treated as an asset. However, the consumer based brand equity (CBBE) is related to the value of customers because the brand adds convenience in the lives of customers (Cant, Strydom & Jooste, 2009). ...

The art piece selected for discussion is called “Midwestern States” by artist Elizabeth Ayers. It is a glazed ceramic piece of pottery that is clearly a jug that would be used for pouring drinks. The piece appears to be from 1900, yet looks like something that could be used in the 21st century. The ceramic jug is a freestanding piece that is somewhat skinny with a thin handle and a smooth finish overall. The glaze brings forth the shiny surface of the piece as it sits up against the white surface. One could assume that the image of the ...

The Dawes Act (1887) The Dawes Act of 1887 was intended to assimilate Native Americans, with the intent of making them more like white Americans. To do so, various Native American tribes were removed from their homelands and relocated to areas called Indian Territory. Upon arrival at their new lands, they were told that the land they now occupied was to be owned communally, whereas, prior to the Dawes Act, Native American tribal communities individually owned their own familial lands. On February 8, 1887, the 49th Congress went on to specify in detail, how these communal lands were to ...

Representation of Women in Disney Films

Proper representation of the society in films is essential as it enables the viewer to generate an accurate understanding of the community. In fact, lack thereof leads one into making erroneous judgments of the people represented in the film. With this in mind, it is worth acknowledging the fact that the representation of gender roles in Disney films has undergone constant developments over the years with relation to the changing roles gender roles in the concurrent society. Precisely, women have evolved from the lesser powerful and weaker entities described through conventional tales to stronger and independent individuals in the ...

db Environmental Science The Endangered Species Act (ESA) is thought to be a powerful legal tool to conserve biodiversity and recover endangered species from extinction. But, the law has several implementation flaws and seriously affects land management decisions (Rohlf, 1991). ESA mostly concentrates on protecting the individual species at risk rather than the whole biodiversity in the region. Further, the classification of endangered, threatened and recovered species is not very clear (Rohlf, 1991) i.e. sometimes a viable number of the organism might be recovered, but sufficient number of breeding pairs must be established to ensure complete recovery and delisting ...

The narrative of the book by Yoram Binur engages in the documentation of the transformation of the self and the perennial struggle in the face of an uncompromising societal milieu. If one opts to analyze the gradual transformation of the type of resistance being put up by people of the society over the span the narrative, one can very well understand how Binur faced the onus all alone. A close analysis of the narrative in context portrays the ways in which Binur faces the resistance from the society and himself puts up resistance to the society around in his ...

Ukiyo-e is the Japanese word for woodblock prints which have been strongly influenced by the China’s culture. At first it was an art solely meant to be distributed within the country but in 1853 upon the arrival of the Black Ships spearheaded by Commodore Matthew Perry, Japanese culture was diffused into the Western nations and aside from katana, Japanese woodblock prints became highly popular amongst artists in Europe and in the United States. To honor this, the Library of Congress’ prized collections of Japanese woodblock prints made by Hokusai and Hiroshige creates a strong link between the East ...

Analysis

The scatter plot provide a visual representation of the relationship between white pine and the percentage of Penn Sedge. It form the preliminary analysis. The scatter plot shows a negative relationship between the percentage of Penn Sedge and the number of white pine. However, the relationship seems to be weak since the trend line is almost horizontal. Besides, the data points are far away from the trend line.

Further analysis was conducted using regression analysis to test the hypothesis under consideration. The regression results as follows:

The adjusted R square is -0.004. This means that the percentage of Penn Sedge only explains 0.004 percent variation in the number of white pine and approximately 99 percent of the ...

People visit different places drawn by various reasons. Depending on what basis that reason is founded, it all has its genesis on what strikes an individual’s attention. In a case where two similar sites offering almost the same product or service may end up with one being a favorite destination place for people than the other. Pine & Gilmore (1999) attributes this to how one site may package itself and stand out of the crowd regarding its corporate identification. This may be tagged to its thematic presentation; the theme by which it is easily identifiable from the rest of ...

Corridors and Population Dispersion

Part I. Introduction and Review of Relevant Biology

1. Energy transfer becomes inefficient in higher trophic levels in a food chain. Predators utilize more energy in obtaining food than their prey. The number of organisms and the amount of biomass defines energy relationships among organisms in trophic levels. Most top predators are huge in size but their population is lower because there is not enough energy to support a large population of these predators (Odum and Barrett).

2. A population of infinite size is seen less likely to evolve since it would be almost resistant to random fluctuations within the environment. Small populations on the other hand are prone ...

During the year, there are many festival celebrations in Shinto. The New Year’s festival is one such celebration and involves a ritual purification of the homestead and prayers for a good year. About one month to the New Year, people conventionally put up an entrance pine or kadomatsu at their home. Kadomatsu consists of pine branches and standing bamboo, and acts as a welcome point for the Kami.

This is intended to invoke the blessings and goodwill of the Kami. Susuharai is also another New Year preparation which involves a ceremonial house cleaning. After this, traditional cold dishes known as motchitsuki and ...

Mathematics 101

The Golden Ratio and Its Use The Golden Ratio (also known as the Golden Mean, the Golden Section, and the Divine Proportion) is the proportion of two quantities, such that their ratio is equal to the ratio of their sum to the biggest of those quantities. Due to its curious properties, throughout the history this ratio has been of interest not only to the mathematicians, but also to people of art – such as painters, architects, and designers. The studies of this ratio began in ancient Greece, being related to the geometric problem of cutting a line section into ...

Mountain pine beetle (MPB) (Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins) is a bark beetle that lays eggs within the vascular system of the mature trees of lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta). First known epidemic infestation was recorded in 1994 in the forests of British Columbia (BC). Prior to 1994, the infestation was negligible, owing to the fact that extreme low temperatures of winter killed the beetle, thereby curbing the problem. In the past two decades, however, due to global warming the winter temperatures are not low enough to kill the beetle. This has escalated the problem of deforestation and thereby has unbalanced the ...

Depression is a medical condition, causing a wide array of physical, as well as psychological symptoms. According to an article entitled “Depression in Adolescence” published in The Lancet, nearly 8 percent of all adolescents will experience depression before they reach their teens . Nearly 4% of them will remain depressed through their teenage years. Unfortunately, many times this mental illness goes undiagnosed because the symptoms can be difficult to recognize in this age group (2012). Regardless of whether it is diagnosed or not, if untreated, it can become a significant problem in the adolescent’s life. Though the exact cause of depression ...

There are four main market structures namely monopolistic competition, perfect competition, monopoly, and oligopoly.

Terrestrial Ecosystems Dynamic

Ecological systems are dynamic by nature and constantly feel the influence of climate variability. Since the structure and functioning of forest ecosystems are controlled by climatic factors through metabolic function, it may change in the future dynamics of forest restoration, growth, progress and growth of tree mortality, as well as the relationship of rocks. It is expected that climate change will be faster than the rate at which ecosystems can adapt and repair itself. Ecosystems of the North must first of all respond to possible global warming because of climate-driven ecosystem response reveals itself most clearly. At high ...

- Explanations - Food miles and 100-mile diet A 100-mile diet refers to a diet that consists of foods raised and grown within 100 miles of a dinner table (Tancock). Usually, food travels some 1,500 miles before reaching the dinner table in North America (Tancock). The traveling miles are called “food miles” and affect the environment, quality of food and farming practices. Food miles increase carbon emissions through the numerous planes, boats, and trucks involved in the transport of food materials. In addition, food miles promote unsafe agricultural practices because the consumers are unlikely to visit the farms ...

Thesis statement

THESIS STATEMENT: World over there has been a shift in the health problems that face the human populations. With advancements in the medical research, most infectious diseases are now treatable (Carter, 2007). Advancement in food technology has also seen a shift from the traditional foods to more refined foods. It has resulted in an increase of dietary associated conditions such as diabetes, hypertension and obesity. Consumption of foods with high refined sugar levels has been proven to be the most significant cause of obesity(Brehm-Curtis, 2014).Children are exposed to beverages and snacks that have high sugar levels. This paper, therefore, ...

Introduction:

Scientists believe that the gymnosperms developed from an extinct phylum whose members reproduced through spores (E. Taylor, T. Taylor, & Krings, 2009). The first true gymnosperms, however, produced seeds instead of spores. As a result, the evolution of the seeds became a fundamental adaptation of the gymnosperms to the dry conditions on land. The second factor that made the group successful on land was the development of pollen grains, which transported and protected the male gametes. Hence, unlike the seedless vascular plants, the gymnosperms became less dependent on the aquatic conditions for the success of fertilization. Instead, they gained the ability to ...

Police officers carry the brunt of responsibility and dedication towards welfare. They are responsible in restoring peace and order around town by apprehending criminals. Police fieldwork can take too much toll on a police officer, as the most gruesome scenarios and blood-shedding crime scenes presented can be an intimidating experience. Civilians rely on police officers during perilous scenarios for protection. Since police officers are the first line of defense, they have to live by and endure different kinds of beating. When police officers constantly take that kind of beating and too much exposure, they could show some eventual signs of ...

Is there anything we can or should do, to save the environment? Before we answer that question, it would be appropriate to understand why this question is raised in the first place. As the population grows, it has to be compensated by infrastructural development, which means that, more and more uninhibited land has to be utilized for housing and other social necessities. These could be the development of roads and drinking water, schools, colleges and hospitals, and industries to support employment opportunities. A number of developing countries have sold agricultural and barren land to multinationals to establish their manufacturing ...

As exposed by Sagan, the traditional solipsism that humans are used to exhibit when describing themselves and their position in the universe, is not sustainable . Humans have gradually stopped believing they were the center of the universe and the summit of all creation, and started being displaced until becoming just inhabitants of an insignificant part of the periphery of the galactic neighborhood. Apparition of life on earth appears to be miraculous, but in fact is more common and resilient than most like to think it is. Most of the species that have existed on earth have become extinct , ...

Introduction

According to Hobbs and Norton (1996) the restoration of an ecosystem id directly related to the ethics. The pre-damaged conditions of an ecosystem are mainly due to the improper behavior of people towards environment. Elizabeth (2005) stated that the ecological restoration is becoming a major strategy for human beings to interact with environment. Some people believe that the restoration is a land management technique as the conservation and preservation. The other group of thoughts view restoration as a method which modifies the misdeeds and ill behavior conducted towards ecology in the past. Values that help in the attribution towards restoration and ...

Close to 60% of all new graduate nurses who are employed at health care institutions, leave those places within the first year of employment (Pine & Tart, 2007). The cumulative effect of this high turnover has staggering losses. A 2004 economic analysis of this issue reported that the dollar cost of turnover per Registered Nurse (RN) in a 6000-bed acute care hospital is more than $60,000 (Ponyton et al, 2007). Nurse turnover negatively affects the ability of the patient care team thereby compromising the quality of care given in that hospital. In addition it results in personal losses to the ...

A Very Brief History of Franchising

Most of the historians consider that the concept of franchising started in the middle ages, at the time when the feudal aristocrats have started to sell the rights of collecting taxes and operating markets to others on their behalf. This is however representing franchising as a political activity instead of the business activity. Moreover, according to some historians the very first example of the franchising indicating a method of conducting business is traced back in the mid nineteenth century in Germany where the contact was made with the tavern/bar owners in order to sell beer entirely in taverns. But, in the ...
