...to no protection. The public/private distinction was birthed through the double movement in both the political and legal schools of thought (Horowitz, 1423.) With the increasing ideology of sovereignty and the rise of the nation-state in the sixteenth and seventeenth century, a clear public realm was desired for a distinguishable private sphere, that was free from the state’s power (Horowitz, 1423.) Natural rights were explained and expanded with the goal of placing boundaries on the state’s power over property and religious thoughts, which were theorized to be in the private realm (Horowitz, 1423.) Gradually, while the private was expanding, the public began to rise. English law began to draw a distinct line between the ruler’s roles as a landowner. No longer could the queen/king privatize any land they wanted(Horowitz, 1423.) Restrictions were placed on the monarchs power, which began the struggle over the King’s power. The public realm came into existence in legal and political consciousness in the nineteenth century. Prior to the 1800s, cases involving the withdrawal of office officials were frequently examined because they – the lawsuits – raised questions of property, which were often supported by the officials’ successful interest in the property, which he alienated and could not be legally dismissed of (Horowitz, 1423.) Although the public realm was being formed during the seventeenth century; it’s true form emerged in the nineteenth century, with the increasing belief...

...------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- LE Case Costco Wholesale Corp. v. Omega, S.A. (08-1423) By Bolang Chen 1. The facts of the case: Omega is a famous watch manufacturer company in the world. All of Omega watches are produced in Switzerland. Omega sells its products to all of the world through authorized wholesalers and retailers. Each of the Omega watches is engraved with the words "Omega Globe Design” on the back of it. And it means the copyright law in America protects the watch. Costco is a well-known wholesale warehouse store. They purchased Omega watches through an unknown third party company in the New York, and sold these watches in the United States, and the watches price was cheaper than many other American distributor's price. Many years ago, Omega gave Costco the authorization to sell the watches in the foreign market, but they did not give them a mandate for sale in the United States. So, Omega sued Costco to the US District Court for the Central District of California. Omega thought that Costco's behavior has constituted infringement. Although they authorized Costco to sell watches in foreign countries, they did not authorize them to sell in the United States. But Costco said that, according to the 109 (a), called the first sale doctrine. Because Omega allowed Costco to sell them products the first time, they cannot limit Costco to make importation,...

...BIO 1 Nicholas of Cusa The person that I was assigned for our first biography was Nicholas of Cusa. Nicholas of Cusa was “born in 1401 and passed away on the day of August 11, 1464” (Hudson). Nicholas of Cusa was a German philosopher, theologian, and astronomer. He was one of the first German proponents of Renaissance humanism, and he made spiritual and political contributions in European history. When Nicholas of Cusa was at a young age, “he entered the Faculty of Arts of the Heidelberg University in 1416 as ‘a cleric of the Diocese of Trier,’ studying the liberal arts”(Hudson). He seemed to have left Heidelberg soon afterwards, “as he received his doctorate in canon law from the University of Padua in 1423” (Joost-Gaugier). After he attended the University of Padua in 1423, “he entered the University of Cologne in 1425 as ‘a doctor of canon law,’ which he appears to have both taught and practiced there”(Joost-Gaugier). In the field of philosophy, “Nicholas of Cusa was noted for his deeply mystical writings about Christianity” (Hudson), particularly on the possibility of knowing God with the divine human mind. Nicholas of Cusa wrote of the unfolding of creation in God. “He was suspected by some of holding pantheistic beliefs, but his writings were never accused of being heretical” (Joost-Gaugier). In the field of mathematics, Nicholas of Cusa can be read about in the different essays that he wrote. “Most of Nicholas of Cusa's mathematical ideas can be found in his essays, De...

...1 RF Link Budget for Long Term Evolution Network Chee Yen Leow Abstract This document summarises the MET 1423 assignment on RF link budget for Long Term Evolution (LTE) network. Students play the role of RF engineers of a network operator in Malaysia and work in a team of four to come out with a RF link budget study report for LTE. The deliverable has to be submitted by 19th November 2012. I. ROLE P LAY You are recently recruited by a major network operator in Malaysia as an RF engineer. The network operator is planning to roll out the next generation cellular network known as LTE in several major cities in Malaysia. The company has assigned you in a group of four RF engineers to involve in the initial RF planning stage for LTE network. Specifically, your team is required to determine the RF link budget for LTE network. The main purposes for establishing the RF link budget are 1) to establish the system design assumptions for all gains and losses at the eNodeB, user equipment (UE), along with the RF path between the eNodeB and UE for both uplink and downlink transmissions. 2) to determine the maximum allowable path loss (MAPL) in the LTE system. 3) to estimate the maximum coverage area based on a realistic propagation model appropriate for the site of interest. The service provider is recently granted a license by the regulator MCMC to operate LTE network in 3GPP Band 7, 2600 MHz. The LTE service is expected to begin its operation in year 2013. II.

...there other qualifications? Greek tradition holds a variation of the definition that has stumped critics and has divided them over which character is best suited for the leading role. The self-realization and recognition of one’s mistakes is also one of the credentials, and with further examination, Creon emerges as being best suited for the role of the protagonist. We derive our definition of a Greek tragedy from Aristotle, who originated that definition on the basis of plays from his time, such as Antigone. Greek tradition defines the dramatic protagonist as one who is regarded as extraordinary, and is brought from happiness to agony. “The character’s stature is important because it makes his or her fall all the more terrifying” (Meyer 1423). From this basic definition, Aristotle went on to include that the protagonist is the main character that possesses a tragic flaw, and later realizes his or her own faults and mistakes. Aristotle used “hamartia” as the term for these weaknesses (Meyer 1424). Based on these definitions, Antigone and Creon both have the potential to be qualified as protagonist. They both battle forcefully for something that they believe strongly in. In Antigone's case, she fights for the honorable burial of her brother. She does this because she considers the laws of the gods to be greater than the edict laid down by...

...Case 1: Century National Bank The Century National Bank has offices in several cities in the Midwest and the southeastern part of the United States. Mr. Dan Selig, president and CEO, would like to know the characteristics of his checking account customers. What is the balance of a typical customer? How many other bank services do the checking account customers use? Do the customers use the ATM service and, if so, how often? What about debt cards? Who uses them, and how are they used? To better understanding the customers, Mr. Selig asked Mrs. Wendy Lamberg, Director of planning, to select a sample of customers and prepare a report. To begin, she has appointed a team of us. Then, we started by selecting a random sample of 60 customers. In addition to the balance in each account at the end of last month, we determined: * The number of ATM (automatic teller machine) transactions in the last month. * The number of other bank services (a saving account, a certificate of deposit, etc) the customer uses. * Whether the customer has a debt card (this is a relatively new bank service in which charges are made directly to the customer's account). * Whether or not interest is paid on the checking account. * The sample includes customers from the branches in Cincinnati, Ohio; Atlanta, Georgia; Louisville, Kentucky; and Erie, Pennsylvania. Banking Data Set-case: X1 = Account balance in $ X2 = Number of ATM transactions in the month X3 = Number of other bank services...

...Dome of Florence Cathedral (1423-1438) by Filippo Brunelleschi * Brunelleschi and Ghiberti collaborated to submit a model but Ghiberti withdrew from the project shortly the model was selected. * The dome is 44 meters in diameter and 113 meters high topped by a lantern that is accessed by a stairway between the interior and exterior walls of the dome. * The dome depends on a system of large ribs springing from the corners of the octagonal drum with smaller one between them (skeletal shell) * The ribs are covered by a second shell, covered with over 4 million terracotta tiles * The base of the dome is tensioned by horizontal chains of iron and wood * Brunelleschi created cantilever scaffolding that could rise as the building went up and also created new pulleys and hoists to bring up the heavy masses of stone to the top of the dome * The dome is pointed which gives it a gothic shape, rather than a classical shape which matches the gothic church itself * The dome’s design allows the lantern to rise 375 feet about the pavement * The Last Judgement scenes are painted on the inner dome by Vasari and Zuccaro Sources: Campbell, Stephen J. and Cole, Michael W.

...Debate # 1 For the first debate that we are talking about in class is if the Chinese actually discovered America before Christopher Columbus. The two arguments between the yes (Gavin Menzies) and the no (Robert Finlay). Menzies is the yes the Chinese found American first. He says that the Chinese spent four months exploring the pacific coastline and left substantial evidence that will support his contention that the chines found America way before the Europeans. Finlay believes that Menzies does not have concrete evidence that the Chinese found America because other historians have not come up with the same conclusion, that the Chinese discovered America first Robert Finlay talks about how Menzies is wrong and how he bases all his knowledge on facts and evidence that puts the Chinese on America before Columbus. Finlay accuses Menzies of “ignoring the basic rules of historical study and logic to concoct an implausible interpretation of the Chinese”. Finlay believes that Columbus found America first because they used the maps of the Chinese. When the Chinese explored the pacific coast they didn’t set foot on the land they just made a map that told there was land. The Chinese then used the maps that they made to trade with the Europeans for other goods. Then Columbus used the maps to find other land to colonize and make a new colony to spread. Finlay believes that Columbus explored the land and actually set foot on the new America, and expanded the map by putting new locations...

...Open Plan Offices Business: Juice Online Product: Various juices which are sold online. The business receives a percentage of profit from all the ‘juicers’ in various locations in exchange for marketing, recipes and licencing requirements. All exchanges between both Juice Online and juicers and between juicers and the customer are online. Assessment Item 1 BSB115 - Management The article ‘Are open plan offices insane?’ (Featherstone, 2015) raises some key issues surrounding open plan offices. This report explores whether those issues are founded and whether they are relevant to Juice Online. The report will then give a summary of the likely impact of incorporating the open plan style of office to the main office of Juice Online. Open plan offices are those which have all or most employees working in a large single room. Some incorporate low partitions to offer a degree of privacy to individual workers while others are completely open. The idea is to increase communication and collaboration between workers (ref. Pros and cons of open plan and office-based workplaces) which leads to an increase in productivity. The article (Featherstone, 2015) argues that these benefits are offset by three major issues. These issues can be labelled as background noise, privacy and varying requirements. A recent paper (Roelofsen, 2008) used mathematical models to examine performance losses while working in open plan offices due to background noise...

...My sister and I were the first ones to arrive at El Pueblito Patio located on 1423 Richmond Avenue Saturday morning around 11 a.m. Since we were so early we were lucky enough to be seated in one of the many white linen cabanas. This restaurant is known in Houston as a cultural, Latin American-Caribbean fusion. As we glanced over the menu, several delicious items popped up, such as redfish, salmon, trout and chicken often paired with a fruit relish, yellow rice and vegetables. The waiter brought us free appetizers, two bowls, one red salsa and the other a yellowish color salsa with some green specks. My sister took a bite out of the yellow salsa, I bit into the corn chips and red salsa. We were both surprised to find out that we enjoyed the tastes of the salsas which were uniquely different. However, we could not figure out what special ingredients were in the salsa but as soon as our waiter arrived we immediately determined the secret as to what the yellow in the salsa was and that was pineapple and a jalapeño blend which was the green specks in the salsa. Both were delicious and exotic. Being on a student budget, we decided the free appetizers were more than adequate for flavor and our budget. Next up was the entrées, we came across many options including both Tex-Mex and Caribbean dishes but ended up with two great choices; the Caribbean snapper which is a fresh bay snapper which is infused with El Pueblito Patio house sauce which came with beans, rice, fried plantains...
