...Michael Eadeh 3/30/14 Prof. Lonjak ------------------------------------------------- Great Lakes Brewery: Market Screening Process The United States accounted for 7.6% of beer sales and over 90% of breweries in 2011. It is for these reasons that I chose Great Lakes Brewery as my product and England, due to its well-known love for beer, as the country I’d like to export it to. Great Lakes Brewery has a wide variety of craft beers. From lagers, pale ale, and IPA’s, to stouts and their most famous “Christmas Ale”, the infamous Cleveland-based company is able to provide for the needs of all types of customers. Step 1: Preliminary Screening (Basic Need and Potential) – We must first examine whether craft beer is demanded in England and whether Great Lakes Brewery needs to expand their products into a foreign market. Due to England’s large array of domestic beers, I do not believe that the product is necessary for the country to import. However, I do believe that a foreign market would be beneficial to Great Lakes Brewery. Doing so successfully in England could create demand for the product in other countries. And although England may not necessarily need new beer options, the large market for the product holds great potential. If craft beer can expand in the United States, it can do the same overseas. Step 2: Secondary Screening (Financial and Economic Conditions) – It is necessary to examine the financial and economic conditions of the foreign country in order to determine...

...Rough Road of Domestic Violence Karen L. Silverio PSY 325 Statistics for the Behavioral & Social Sciences Yashica Woods-Buchanan 1 December 2012 I chose to focus on the factors that impact domestic violence for my final paper because in my career, I have seen the rate of domestic violence increase. I have always known about it, but never really took the time out to actually research what the causes were. By choosing this topic, I hope that not only will I be able to educated myself a little more, but maybe help save someone’s life by helping them remove themselves out of a domestic violence situation. Domestic violence can affect anyone, regardless of income, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity or religion. Domestic violence is a type of abuse. Usually a spouse or partner is involved in causing injury to the other spouse or partner. However, domestic violence can also involve a parent, child or other family member. The single most influential factor of domestic violence in society is the continuation of a generational cycle of abuse and/or a history of abuse in the family of origin. It is also linked to a person who has poor self-esteem (Life challenges, 2002). Domestic violence, sometimes called battering, family violence, or intimate partner violence, is a pattern of behavior used to establish power and control over another person through fear and intimidation, often including the threat or use of violence. Domestic violence can...

...on the Case Study: Mayor Schell’s Zero Homeless Family Strategy PAD500 Modern Public Administration By – Ambika Jammula Introduction On June 2nd, 1998, Mayor Paul Schell spoke to the press about the needs of homeless families, women and children. He asked for the City Council’s support in providing “immediate emergency assistance to homeless families and single women, a critical step in providing lasting housing solutions for these families and individuals.” He noted that “the problem continues to grow and we absolutely must find better ways to help people find and keep housing.” He closed his remarks with a firm pledge that there will be no homeless families with children or homeless single women on the streets of Seattle by Christmas 1998. His pledge made headlines in both Seattle papers the next day. Alan Painter, Director of the Community Services Division of the Department of Housing and Human Services, listened attentively to the new Mayor’s remarks. Painter has dedicated his professional career to serving the needs of homeless people. He was proud and excited to hear Schell’s passion and commitment to addressing homelessness in Seattle. At the same time, he viewed the pledge with some trepidation. Counting the number of homeless people on the street at any given time is notoriously tricky, influenced by many factors. Further, he wondered how this pledge would dovetail with City priorities and plans for dealing with homelessness. These plans emphasize services...

... They were looked down on if they could not meet the needs of their family or keep them in line as seen in Episode 2 of series 3. A husband found out that his wife cheated on him after she gave birth to a black baby. His reaction was violent as her betrayal threatened his manhood. In the Christmas Special of series 2, a married couple lies about his PTSD to everyone just to keep up the appearance that he is providing for his family even though the wife is the one holding them together. Her husband doesn’t feel as if he’s living up to the male expectations of society. Girls were primed early on to become a housewife. The toys little girls played with were geared towards the family activities, such as being a mother, cooking, and cleaning. In Episode 1 and in the Christmas Special of the first series of Call the Midwife, it showed that the eldest daughters were expected to help their mother raise the younger kids and have other household chores. By having the young girls help around the house, it taught them how to be very domestic and subordinate to the males in her life. Women could chose to go into the work force if they were not married. Most of the jobs that women took were the same type of jobs that she would be doing as a housewife, such as a nanny, teacher, or cook. Unfortunately for them, once they became married, they were expected to quit their jobs to become the dutiful housewife for their husbands as Chummy did in Episode 1 in Series 3 of Call the midwife. Their life...

...Macroeconomics is the type of economics that studies the economy as a whole. It deals with issues like unemployment, inflation, business cycles, and growth. It studies how everything in the economy affects everything else and can use these factors to forecast what will happen in the economy next. Governments, households, and businesses are what control the economy, and all three are constantly interweaving with the others. Households supply labor and other features of production to businesses, the businesses pay the households for supplying the labor to it. Businesses produce goods and services to sell to the households and government. Macroeconomics is a large and complex topic, and there are some key terms to know to start to make understanding economics easier. Gross domestic product or GDP is the measure of a nation’s wealth. It measures the economic output and growth of countries and is the market value of all final goods and services produced in a country. The real GDP is the gross domestic product but adjusted for inflation. The nominal GDP is the gross domestic product calculated at the current existing prices. The unemployment rate is the ratio of people without jobs compared to the number of people in the workforce. Inflation is a rise in the total price level over time. Experts measure the inflation rate through the use of price indexes, which is a normalized average of prices for a given class of goods or services in a region. An interest rate is the amount...

...Gendered Violence in Browning’s Poems “My Last Duchess” and “Porphyria’s Lover”, both written by Robert Browning in 1842, contain strong elements of gendered sexual violence that is likely a product of the repression and censorship that typified the Victorian Age. While “Porphyria’s Lover” is much more graphic and obvious in its depiction of sexual violence, “My Last Duchess” contains a number of elements that are dark and disturbing in their own right. Most important of these is the objectification of the duchess, which reduces her identity to that of another display in a collection. Both similarities and differences between the poems will be analyzed, including theme, symbolism, rhyme scheme, tone, and the nature of the sexual violence itself. This will show that the gendered sexual violence present in Browning’s poems is indicative of their historical context, primarily the social norms of the time. There are strong similarities between the two poems, particularly in theme, where both poems display a preservation of the mens’ idea of the feminine in a form that fit their ideal. In “My Last Duchess” this is seen in the opening lines, “That's my last Duchess painted on the wall / Looking as if she were alive . . .” and a little later in lines nine and ten, when it is revealed that the Duke keeps the painting curtained so that only he can enjoy the sight and smile of his late wife (1-2,9-10). In “Porphyria’s Lover” the theme is present in the narrator’s desire to fix Porphyria...

...expanded its manning activities, it established in 1991 the IOTC Training Center and Dormitory in Bicutan, Paranaque, Metro Manila. In this facility, the company provides in-house training to hone technical skills and to strengthen the behavioral conduct and values of its crew. With the growing confidence on the capability of IOTC and EMC to provide them with quality seafarers, Showa Line, thru its subsidiary, Showa Line Engineering Co. Ltd., entrusted EMC to supply Filipino seafarers for its new VLCC, the MT "SATSUMA". Soon, different types of vessels like, car carriers, woodchip-carriers, were added to the existing fleet of Cape Size bulkers, VLCC, LPG carriers and Heavy Lifters. Increasing demand for Filipino officers worldwide coupled with the shortage of qualified officers locally, led to the adaptation of IOTC & EMC of a family oriented approach on its recruitment to maximize retention of its officers and crew. The annual IOTC/EMC Christmas Party for its allotees was started in 1991 to enliven and uplift the spirit of the families left behind by our crewmembers onboard during the most significant time of the year. This was followed by Seamen's Wives Seminar to help the spouses of crewmembers cope up with the pressure of raising a family without the physical presence of their husbands. Financial assistance thru low-interest loans were extended to the families to help them during times of emergency, school opening, etc. An Allotees'Center was established, manned by a competent...

In order for the company to develop and launch, we had to develop pricing strategies in both the domestic and international markets. We will also provide justifications for our choice for acquiring the United States as our international market. The two advantages in this product are that it is green, meaning it is good for the environment and will eliminates the excessive use of cups and perishable items. Second because of the economic state, people can save money by using this and not constantly buying coffee or tea bags. Justification for Thermo Express Our organization has selected the United States has our international market to sell our product Thermo Express. Although the opportunities for companies to enter and compete in foreign markets are significant, the risks also can be high. Companies selling in global industries however, in fact have no choice but to internationalize their operations (Philip Kotler and Kevin Lane Keller, 2007, p.322). The company must also decide on the types of countries to consider. The product, geography, income and population, political climate, and other factors influence attractiveness.

...Land and Climate Area (sq. mi.): 2,988,902 Area (sq. km.): 7,741,220 Australia is the sixth largest country in the world. It is just smaller than Brazil and about four-and-a-half times the size of the U.S. state of Alaska. Australia is the only country that occupies a complete continent. It is also the driest inhabited continent in the world. About one-third of its land is desert and another third is composed of poor-quality land. A long chain of mountains, the Great Dividing Range, runs along the Pacific coast. Fertile farmland lies east of the Great Dividing Range, in the southwestern corner of Western Australia, and in the island state of Tasmania. Cattle stations (ranches) reach the edge of the barren interior desert. The famed Australian Outback is an undefined region that encompasses all remote, undeveloped areas. The Outback is seen as a mystical heartland or frontier—a symbol of Australia's strength and independence—where the climate is hot, life is hard, and people are tough, independent, and few.

...consumer confidence, etc. Analyze these indicators and prepare a 3-4 page report explaining the expected short impact on firms in the following industries, retail business and automobile industries in terms of product sales and operating costs. I feel it would be better served to explain exactly what macroeconomics means. Macroeconomics evaluates or examines the overall performance of the economy as a whole and in this process we can determine what causes the economy to grow and how indicators such as interest rates, income, wage rates, employment and unemployment can affect the overall performance of our economy in its current state as well as forecast predictions for the future. This type of activity and performance is often measured through the GDP (Gross Domestic Product); the total value of all goods and services in the market. This information can be applied to any firm/business to evaluate how these changes impact their product sales and operating costs in the United States. If were to evaluate a local retail business in the Birmingham area, we could observe a company called Kirkland’s Home. Kirkland’s Home is a leading retailer that specializes in home décor.

...Identification. The name Yugoslavia previously designated six republics (Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia, Bosnia-Herzogovia, Croatia, and Slovenia), but now includes just Serbia and Montenegro. The word means "land of the southern Slavs." Montenegro, which means "black mountain," takes its name from its rugged terrain. Within Serbia there are several national cultures. In addition to the dominant Serb tradition, there is a large Hungarian population in the northern province of Vojvodina, where Hungarian is the common language and the culture is highly influenced by Hungary (which borders the province to the north). In southern Serbia, the province of Kosovo is primarily Albanian, and has an Islamic culture that bears many remnants of the earlier Turkish conquest. Location and Geography. Serbia is a landlocked territory in the Balkan Peninsula of Eastern Europe, bordering Montenegro, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Macedonia, and Albania. Montenegro is to the west of Serbia, also bordering Bosnia and Herzogovina, Albania, and the Adriatic Sea. Serbia covers 34,136 square miles (88,412 square kilometers); Montenegro has an area of 5,299 square miles (13,724 square kilometers). Together they are slightly smaller than the state of Kentucky. The terrain varies widely. In the north there are fertile plains that produce most of Serbia's crops, as well as marshlands along the Sava and Danube Rivers. At the northern border, the Danube River runs along the Iron...
