...encuentra en el centro del Sistema Solar y constituye la mayor fuente de radiación electromagnética de este sistema planetario.5 La Tierra y otros cuerpos (incluidos otros planetas, asteroides, meteoroides, cometas y polvo) orbitan alrededor del Sol.5 Por sí solo, representa alrededor del 98,6 por ciento de la masa del Sistema Solar. La distancia media del Sol a la Tierra es de aproximadamente 149.600.000 kilómetros y su luz recorre esta distancia en 8 minutos y 19 segundos. La energía del Sol, en forma de luz solar, sustenta a casi todas las formas de vida en la Tierra a través de la fotosíntesis, y determina el clima de la Tierra y la meteorología. Es la estrella del sistema planetario en el que se encuentra la Tierra; por tanto, es el astro con mayor brillo aparente. Su visibilidad en el cielo local determina, respectivamente, el día y la noche en diferentes regiones de diferentes planetas. En la Tierra, la energía radiada por el Sol es aprovechada por los seres fotosintéticos, que constituyen la base de la cadena trófica, siendo así la principal fuente de energía de la vida. También aporta la energía que mantiene en funcionamiento los procesos climáticos. El Sol es una estrella que se encuentra en la fase denominada secuencia principal, con un tipo espectral G2, que se formó entre 4.567,9 y 4.570,1 millones de años y permanecerá en la secuencia principal aproximadamente 5000 millones de años más. El Sol, junto con todos los cuerpos celestes que orbitan a su alrededor, incluida...

...“A close examination of the endorsement relationship between Enron Corporation and the Houston Astros between 1999 and 2001 sheds light on an emerging and vital part of the entertainment contract in the twenty-first century the reverse-morals clause.” The reverse morals clause is define as a “reciprocal contractual warranty to a traditional morals clause intended to protest the reputation of talent from the negative, unethical, immoral, and criminal behavior of the endorsee company or purchaser of talent’s endorsement.” A clause gives talent the right to terminate an endorsement contract based on what the negative conduct is. An example is if Tiger Woods’ contract with Gillette were to have a reverse-morals clause then woods could sever his endorsement contract and potentially regain money for damages against Gillette if the company failed to hold what is defined in the contract. In 2000, Enron, a Houston-based energy company was named “America’s most innovative company” by fortune magazine. A year earlier Enron pursued a major league Baseball (MLB) franchise. Enron signed a thirty-year $100 million deal to name the Baseball field Enron field. Two year after Enron naming deal closed they filed for bankruptcy “the largest bankruptcy in American history”. The Astros paid a lot because of Enron’s bankruptcy. The team spent two months trying to get the name Enron erase from the stadium which cost 2.1 million to erase. A year after Enron filed for bankruptcy the Astor, announced that...

It isn't necessarily a vital thing. Japan, a vastly smaller country with a different upbringing. They have never formed a movie industry that could compare anywhere near to American movies. Thailand, in recent years has become more prominent but otherwise, Eastern cultures just don't put out the volume nor quality that American films do. (I'm not saying Eastern movies aren't of good quality, I love tons of foreign films) However Japan did have something that was sparked by the creation of one of the most timeless characters in anime history. Astro Boy. In 1952, Osamu Tezuka created one of the most influential characters in animated history. As a young boy he was raised into a family that was rather well off. Luckily enough his family was well off enough that his mother would often bring him to the theater. (he watched Bambi, a lot) It was because of this, his interest and creativity grew and he would become known as "the God of Manga." Wars, they Affect Cartoons Too World War II was a difficult time for thousands, if not millions of lives. It was during this time that Tezuka-san took the opportunity to spread his manga.

A switch hitter is someone who can hit from the right and left side of the plate. Berkman was well known for being a class act and a stand up gut in the Houston community. He now coaches for a baseball team in Houston, which is a branch off of my Major Kinesiology. Kinesiology is a huge, broad field you can do so many things off of this major, such as, Coach, Therapists, and teacher. Lance Berkman started his career late and that’s because he played in the Major League for 13 seasons. Now, he is in my field of study and he coaches and teaches now. Berkman played baseball at Canyon High School, Berkman then attended Rice University, where he played college baseball for the Rice Owls. He was named the 1997 National College Player of the Year. The Houston Astros selected Berkman in the first round of the 1997 MLB Draft, and he debuted in MLB for the Astros in 1999. Berkman was one of the Astros' "Killer B's" in the mid-2000s, along with Jeff Bagwell, Carlos Beltran, Craig Biggio, and Derek Bell. The Astros traded Berkman to the Yankees at the 2010 trade deadline. He spent the 2011 and 2012 seasons with the Cardinals, and the 2013 season with the Rangers, then he decided to retire. He soon signed a one day contract with Houston to officially retire as an Astro. Berkman is a six-time MLB All-Star. He...

One of the invention for this generation now is playing digital games it is a popular pastime for others and it is a part of people’s daily life. The digital games can further expand the knowledge of users. In this game it is all about four pictures related to a certain anime which the user will guess. The user’s need to recall everything to answer the question and to go to the next level of the game. This is also one way to remember things through this application. It is about using pictures in order to retrieve memories connected to it and one process that makes use of pictures is called picture superiority effect. Most studies of the picture superiority effect have involved tests of memory for the occurrence of individual events, such as recall in which is the main objective of this study. If pictures however, receive complete semantic processing than words, this difference in processing could be an advantage for both memory of the individual pictures and for associations formed between pairs of random pictures.

Cincinnati Reds Highest: $12,500,000 Lowest: $480,000 As Shown in the information above the highest paid player in the New York Yankees makes more than half than most of the highest paid players in the other teams. The second highest would be the highest paid player from the Miami Marlins, followed by the Texas Rangers and last the Cincinnati Reds. All of the lowest paid players consist of pitchers and they all have a yearly salary of $ 480,000. From the above scores we would think that the Yankees would be on the lead right now, however it surprised me to find out from the article that they are actually third in the division. The Yankees have a really good payroll and their highest paid player, like I mentioned before makes more than half of what other regular top players make. The Texas Rangers have a much lower payroll; however they are situated 10th in their division. The starter player for the Texas Rangers makes approximately 16,000,000 which are not bad however it is nothing compared to the New York Yankees. The Miami Marlins are last in the NL East division. Nevertheless their starter player is not bad off at all. Making more than the starter Texas Ranger player, the most paid player for the Miami Marlins makes $19,000,000. The Cincinnati Reds seem to have more of a...

...History of Professional Baseball in Texas Baseball is an immensely popular American game, played between two teams of nine players each. The basic implements used in the game are a leather-covered ball, wooden bats for hitting the ball, and gloves for catching it. It is played at its highest level in the United States and two Canadian cities, where 26 teams make up the American and National Leagues (each with two divisions, East and West). Combined, these leagues are called major-league (professional) baseball. Most players who reach the major leagues have worked their way up through Little League, scholastic, college, and minor-league ball. In the early 1800s Americans began playing baseball on informal teams, using local rules. By the 1860s, the sport, unrivaled in popularity, was being described as America's “national pastime”. Alexander Joy Cartwright of New York invented the modern baseball field in 1845. Alexander Cartwright and the members of his New York Knickerbocker Base Ball Club devised the first rules and regulations for the modern game of baseball. Baseball was based on the English game of rounders. Rounders becomes popular in the United States in the early 19th century, where the game was called "townball", "base", or "baseball". Cartwright formalized the modern rules of baseball. The first recorded baseball game in 1846 when Alexander Cartwright's Knickerbockers lost to the New York Baseball Club.

...February 27, 2005 “The Blue Devil” I remember when I was a child my mother owned a very special family van. It was a blue Chevrolet Astro that took us everywhere we needed to be. Every morning, on the way to school, he would fly in the air as we went over the speed bumps in the road. I couldn’t wait until the next morning to do it all over again. I’d fallen in love with this van until he started to change on us. He started to surprise us in the most evil ways he could think of and as a result, we started to call him the blue devil. Every summer our family would drive to South Carolina for a vacation. The blue devil did fine on the way to our destination, but when we were leaving he gave us a very hard time. The air condition wouldn’t work and it was a very hot summer day. He knew that we needed the air conditioning but he wanted us to suffer in the hot sun. Everyone was burning up from the heat. My mother tried to turn the air condition back on, but he wouldn’t allow her to. We started to open the windows so we could get a breeze, but it would only row down half way. While we were still in route to our home the blue devil had another surprise for us. The right rear tire suddenly blew out and the blue devil started to swerve all over the road. We finally pulled onto the shoulder and stopped. We spent about an hour and a half in the hot sun while my stepfather changed the blue devil’s tire. I was scared to ride in the blue devil again after...

...Preparing Business Scenario Analyses The following general guidelines may be used in preparing for an oral or written business scenario analysis and presentation. There may be several feasible courses of action regarding the solution to any case. It is more important to concern yourself with the process of problem definition and isolation, analysis, and evaluation of alternatives, and the choice of one or more recommendations, rather than trying to find a single answer. Very often, the right answer is the one that you can propose, explain, defend, and make work. • The Process of Analyzing a Case 1. Read and study the scenario thoroughly and efficiently. Read the scenario once for familiarity, noting issues that come to the forefront. Read the scenario again. Determine all the facts, making notes about symptoms of problems, root problems, unresolved issues, and roles of key players. Watch for issues beneath the surface. 2. Isolate the problem(s). Get a feel for the overall environment by putting yourself in the position of one of the key players. Seek out the pertinent issues and problems. 3. Analyze and evaluate alternatives. a. Once the problems and issues are isolated, work at gaining a better understanding of causes. In what area of the unit do the problems exist? Why? What caused them? Examine and evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the unit’s processes (e.g., planning, communication), human behaviors, and/or exhibits (e.g., financial statements,...

...PEST Analysis One way of planning your business is to undertake a PEST analysis.1 PEST analysis involves looking at the Political, Economic, Socio-cultural and Technological factors that could affect your business. Every business needs to consider a range of external forces in order to take decisions. For many people imagination is very limited and is coloured solely by their own experience and personal beliefs. This can lead to wish fulfilment or a refusal to see reality or recognise the critical changes that are happening in the world around them. It can also lead to grabbing short-term solutions that, if they do not exacerbate problems, certainly ignore the longer term. In the business world pressure is often applied to take decisions quickly, acting on judgement and instinct rather than careful analysis. There are many driving forces in the external environment that might impact on your business. These can be categorised as: • Social; • Technological; • Economic; • Environmental; and • Political. Social forces Social forces include, for example, changing demography and education, etc. The population in Western Europe is relatively static, but the age bands are changing. The number of older people, for example, is growing rapidly. Technological forces Technological forces are changing dramatically quickly. What effects will this have on your production, marketing and distribution plans? Depending on your market, technology might either raise or lower entry barriers...
