...Election Summaries: Ireland 1868-85 The Liberal party won the 1868 general election, with Gladstone as Prime Minister. The main reasons why they won were; Gladstone’s promise to “Pacify Ireland” in his electoral campaigns and the extension of the vote to upper-working class men in 1867. In Ireland the Liberal party gained the most votes with the Nationalist party securing 0 seats. The reasons for this were; the extension of the vote in 1867 and public voting meaning that the Irish people were threatened and intimidated by their landlords into voting for the party of their choice, not the party of their own. The Conservative party won the 1874 general election, with Disraeli as Prime Minister. The main reasons why they won were; Gladstone’s University bill failing in parliament, people lost faith in him and therefore he resigned. In Ireland, the Nationalist party gained the most votes securing 60 seats. The main reasons for this were; the secret ballot act allowing the Irish people to vote in secret so they were not under the influence of their landlords anymore. Also, people had lost faith in Gladstone in Ireland as well as in Britain. The Liberal party won the 1880 general election with Gladstone as Prime Minister for a second time. The main reasons why they won were; Gladstone came out of retirement as he was unhappy with Disraeli’s foreign policies, and people were unhappy with Parnell. In Ireland, the Nationalist party, again, gained the most votes, securing 63 seats...

...Area of Assessment 2 Weakness 3 WEAKNESS: When jumping a fence you should take up the jumping position, which involves the rider centered over her feet, with the stirrup leathers perpendicular to the ground. Continuing a line upwards from the stirrup leathers, the head and shoulders fall in front of the line, as do the knees, the hips fall behind it. A correct jumping position gives the horse the freedom to jump the obstacle, allowing it to keep the forelegs and hind legs tight, thereby decreasing the chance of a rail down or a fall. It also provides the rider the support needed to stay out of the horse's way while still maintaining a secure seat so that the horse is less likely to fall on landing. The problem I have is that I look down when going over the fence. This could hinder my performance as I would have less chance of knowing where I was, and also it may affect my overall position. EFFECTS- consider effects on both technique and overall performance CORRECT TECHNICAL MODEL – make a direct comparison between your technique to that of an elite performer. Named Elite performer:- Ellen Whitaker Having watched Ellen Whitaker perform a round of show jumping, showing the jumping position over every fence and compared her to myself, I can see that I look down instead of up and forwards, the way I’m heading. Ellen performs the jumping position perfectly, her legs stay nice and bent and powerful. She folds her body forward at the hips, but not too far forward, as doing...

(b) On separate diagrams sketch the graphs of (i) y = f(x + 2) (ii) y = f(x) + 2. (c) Find the equations of the curves y = f(x + 2) and y = f(x) + 2, in terms of x, and use these equations to find the coordinates of the points where your graphs in part (b) cross the y-axis. Solution: (a) f(x) = 0 ⇒ x = 1, − 2 (b)(i) f(x + 2) is a horizontal translation of − 2. (ii) f(x) + 2 is a vertical translation of + 2 Since axis of symmetry of f(x) is at x = − , the same axis of symmetry applies to f(x) + 2. Since one root is at x = 0, the other must be symmetric at x = − 1. (c) y = f(x + 2) is y = (x + 1)(x + 4).

...Jonathan Aguilera 10/25/14 Ethics PHI 151 851 Virtue Ethics “Virtue ethics is currently one of three major approaches in normative ethics. It may, initially, be identified as the one that emphasizes the virtues, or moral character, in contrast to the approach in which emphasizes duties or rules (deontology) or that which emphasizes the consequences of actions (consequentialism). Suppose it is obvious that someone in need should be helped. A utilitarian will point to the fact that the consequences of doing so will maximize well-being, a deontologist to the fact that, in doing so the agent will be acting in accordance with a moral rule such as “Do unto others as you would be done by” and a virtue ethicist to the fact that helping the person would be charitable or benevolent” (Stanford). Virtue ethics has a variety of arguments for and against as well as weaknesses and strengths when compared to other moral philosophies. Some strength include promoting happiness, flourishing, and harmony, while weaknesses entail issues when dealing with laws, various conflicting virtues, as well as religious objections. All moral philosophies that have been discussed thus far have included arguments for and against the said philosophy and virtue ethics is no different. Strengths included in virtue ethics include promoting happiness. By practicing moral virtues we can attain a state of eudaimonia (Pojman). Moral virtues usually lie between vices of two corresponding vices, on of excess and...

An English for academic purposes – I have learned about generative formal characteristics , the rules that are governed to it such as SBO pattern , comples and compound sentences these are the functional context in grammar. Morphology has been introduced ,the study of tha smallest meanungful unit of language that refers to the study of the internal structure of words and of the systematic form- meaning correspondencesbetween words.

...Case Study of Haiti Earthquake 12th January 2010. 1. How many people were approximately killed? * Between 217,000 and 230,000 people had been identified as dead and estimated 300,000 were injured 2. Why was the impact on Port au Prince significant? * The design and structure of buildings was of very poor quality which contributed to the high number of deaths 3. What are the names of the plates and type of plate boundary? * The Caribbean plate and the North American plate slipped past each other at a conservative plate boundary 4. Where were the epicentre and focus? * The focus of the earthquake was 13km (8.1 miles) below the surface of the earth. * The epicentre was 25km west of Port-Au-Prince and 130km east of Les Cayes, Haiti 5. What has been the historical earthquake activity in the region? * There have been roughly 7 major earthquakes in Haiti since the 1960’s 6. What causes amplification and liquifaction? Why were these processes significant? * Amplification refers to the level of shaking and is influenced by the softness of rocks and the thickness of surface sediments. * Liquefaction is a naturally occurring event in which the strength of soil is reduced by earthquake shaking and it reduces the soils ability to support structures thus making them more likely to collapse 7. How many people live in Port au Prince? * Approximately 704,776 people live in Port-Au-Prince as recorded in 2003 8. How many were...

...Theories http://www.rsrevision.com/Alevel/ethics/absoluterelativemorality/index.htm Introduction Some ethical theories are teleological - what is right or wrong depends on the end or outcome of an action - for utlitarians, pleasure, happiness or 'the greatest good'; for Aristotle, 'Eudaimonia'. Other theories are deontological - doing what is right means doing your duty or following the rules - for Kant, the categorical imperative; in Natural Law, the secondary precepts. It is easy to think of teleological theories as relativist and deontological theories as absolutist, but it it not that simple. Apart from Kantian Ethics (thoroughly absolutist and deontological) and Situation Ethics (clearly relativist and teleological), ethics seems to involve an uneasy mix. Absolutist ethical theories Kant and the Categorical Imperative Kant says that we should act according to maxims that we would want to see as universal laws. These laws are absolutist - we can work them out logically prior to experience; they are not verified through experience (they are known 'a priori'). The consequences of our actions are irrelevant to whether they are right or wrong - evil actions may have unintended good consequences, and someone might act heroically without any guarantee that the consequences will be good. No character quality is absolutely good (good without exception) - for example, it is possible to act kindly but do the wrong thing. The only good thing is a good will that does what is...
