Yesterday afternoon I had some time between classes, so I went to the library, found a comfortable couch in the reading section, and began reading a chapter in my psychology book. Two students came in, sat on the couch next to me, and began talking about their dates from the night before. Their evenings sounded pretty funny. I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but I was sitting right there! Suddenly I realized...

...Memorandum To: Board From: Alex Moret, 75960138 Subject: Zara Date: 2001 Root Problems International Expansion New expansion in other continents and countries trends may not match with a consistent similar global market. New stores can be franchised, partnered or own. Shipping from one centralized manufacturer and distribution centre has increased shipping costs and is harder to coordinate, especially with 10,000 products per year and re-stocked monthly. When a new store is opening, it can sit vacant until all the staff is properly trained. When they do marketing they only do it for bi-yearly sales, which can leave the stores empty as a result of getting rid of stock. Manufacturing While vertical integration is not a normally practiced with in the clothing retail business, Zara has set up an effective and extensive in house manufacturing. However, this model does have some root problems. Their 50% of in-house manufacturing requires large investment and intensive logistics and smooth operation to ensure proper distribution. There is also increase labour and R&D costs associated with vertical integration that other companies do not have. The increased yearly growth of 20-30% will put pressure on the integrated system and may not be able to adjust fast enough with the growing international sales. Pricing Pricing is put on the clothes right when it leaves the factory in spain and could not properly represent pricing in the country it is intended for. Exchange...

...Women Who Wear the Hijab I chose to do my opposing view paper on women who wear the hijab. It’s mostly found in Western Hemisphere countries but some do wear it here in the United States. The hijab is the long covering of the female body that usually starts at the top of the head and covers the body except for the face and the hands. It is also very big in size. If a person was to look at a person in the hijab all you would see is the face, not the head (hair, ears, etc). Most people along with me think that women wear them because of the male structure in their families such as their dads and uncles. The thought of them being a terrorist is also amongst the reasons why people look at them strange or whisper behind their back. The most popular perception of the hijab is that women wear them because their husband or fathers do not want anyone to see them or their hair because it is sacred. I think women should be allowed to wear whatever they want in front of whoever they want because it’s not fair that man can wear what he wants out in public but a woman can’t. Actually the women wear the hijab out of a sign of respect for themselves. Sumayyah Hussein, a Canadian Muslim states that they wear it so men cannot judge her by her appearance but are forced to evaluate her by her personality, character, and morals. People respect those women so much because of what they stand for and what they wear. Others may judge them. The hiding of the women’s shape or body structure is also...

...Nov 13, 2009 Whales are being targeted and hunted, their population is being dealt serious blows. All the whales in the northern hemisphere are consedered as the north pacific stock.(susan scott, 1) the population of the stock is at 18,000-20,000 whales at present day. Researching the population is a strenous job, and it takes time to come up with the population prediction of the north pacific stock. In the year 1966, when the last study was conducted the “stock” reached a extreme low of 1,200 whales. (susan scott,1) the population is very unstable and always under pressure. Factors that contribute to the the threat towards whales are traditions by natives and nations that claim the reason for their whaling is for “scientific reasons”. Arguments have flared up between whaleing nations against organized partys. During the summer whales migrate into the northern hemisphere because the colder water plays as excelent huntiong grounds. Whales never migrate to another geeding ground. They never break this migrating pattern. By going to the same feeding areas every summer whales are making it easyier for hunters to decide were they want to hunt. Japan, iceland, and norway are the top whaling nations. All of these nations continue to hunt by thinly disguiseing whaling as scientific reasons.(los angelos, The Nation, 1) Many argue that what they are doing is not proffesional and the practices are cruel. The procces involves harpooning a whale and dragging it around until it becomes...

...Biomes Tropical rainforest: * What: Hot and wet areas with broadleaved evergreen forest * Where: Within 5°N and S of the equator * Climate, limiting factors: High rainfall(2000-5000 mm yr-1), high temperatures( 26-28°) and high insolation, P>E rain washes nutrients out of the soil, so nutrients may limit plant growth * Structure: amazingly high levels of biodiversity: plants compete for light thus growing tall to absorb it, so there is a multi-storey profile to the forests called stratification. Many niches and habitat for animals and large mammals can get enough food * Net productivity: produce 40% of NPP of terrestrial ecosystems. Fast rates of decomposition, respiration and photosynthesis. Biomass gain very high, rapid recycling of nutrients * Human activity: more than 50% of world’s human population live in the tropics/subtropics forests exploited e.g. nutrients quickly exhausted by agriculture, commercial logging of timber * Issues: logging, conversion to grazing and to plantations forests exploited for economic development * Examples: Amazon rainforest, Borneo rainforest Desert: * What: dry areas usually hot in the day and cold at night as skies are clear and there is little vegetation to insulate the ground. Tropical, temperate, cold deserts * Where: cover 20-30% of the Earth’s land surface, about 30°N and S of the equator where dry air descends. Most are in the middle of continents * Climate, limiting factors: water...

...1. How do hurricanes form? Hurricanes form over warm water and moving columns of air begin to form clouds. Lower pressure air creates more and more thunderstorms and winds become faster and and faster. Eventually ocean water is gathered at the eye of the storm and causes huge storm surges. 2. Has there ever been two big hurricanes so close together before? If so, when, where and what type of damage have they done? Harvey and Irma seem to be the first hurricanes that are so close together that people are saying that there hasn't been anything like this before. 3. What type of damage (or how severe) are they expecting from Irma? Irma is now a Category 2 hurricane and is expected to be "extremely dangerous". With winds reaching 180...

...Do Immigrants Benefit America Sherita Brown Eng/215-Effective Academic Writing October 15, 2015 Nilse Furtado-Gilliam Doing my research on do immigrants benefit America I found out that an author by the name Peter J. Duigana,” has authored more than forty-five books covering European, Middle Eastern and African affairs, including several books dealing with immigration”. (Peter Duigan 2004). I do feel that immigration can benefit America by showing American different way of doing things. They are hard workers and they don’t mind getting paid less money to do the job many American don’t want go do. I really don’t know why it will be such a big deal for them to come to America for a better lifestyle. Many American need to be better understanding on the better opportunity they can have by working for US. Form an illegal perspective immigrant are beneficial because of slave wages they can pay. Many American ask what make an immigrant so special then a regular America that was born in the US? The US is known for its so called American Dream, so it’s to entice foreigners to come here, they get perks. “About 88,000 foreigners arrive in the United States on a typical day. Most are welcomed at airports and borders, and most do not intend to stay in the United States. 82,000 nonimmigrant foreigners per day come to the United States as tourists, business visitors, students, and foreign workers”. (Peter J. Duigana 2003). Many American feel that the immigrants are taking their jobs...

...Paris, UPMC, CNRS, Université Paris Diderot, Meudon, France. (3) Blackett Laboratory, Imperial College London, London SW7 2BZ, UK. Abstract. Andrews et al. [2008] and Provan et al. [2009] reported Cassini observations of near-planetary period magnetic field oscillations in Saturn’s near-equatorial magnetosphere, and showed that their period was closely similar to the slowly-varying period of ~10.8 h determined by Kurth et al. [2008] from modulations of SKR radio emissions. Kurth et al. [2008] further reported that these emissions also exhibited a second period of ~10.6 h. Further investigation by Gurnett et al. [2009] revealed that the ~10.6 h modulated emission originates from the Northern hemisphere, whilst the ~10.8 h modulated emission originates from the Southern hemisphere. Andrews et al. [2008] and Provan et al. [2009] also found significant ‘jitter’ in the phases of the equatorial oscillations, and presented evidence that much of this is not due to measurement errors but has a real physical cause. Here we show that this phase ‘jitter’ is due to the superposition in the equatorial magnetosphere of field oscillations at the Southern period with weaker oscillations at the Northern period. We determine the relative amplitudes of these oscillations, and the phase of the Northern period oscillations relative to the Northern SKR...

...the summer was hot From an astronomical view, the equinoxes and solstices would be the middle of the respective seasons,[1][2] but a variable seasonal lag means that the meteorological start of the season, which is based on average temperature patterns, occurs several weeks later than the start of the astronomical season.[3] According to meteorologists[4][5],summer extends for the whole months of June, July, and August in the northern hemisphere and the whole months of December, January, and February in the southern hemisphere. Under meteorological definitions, all seasons are arbitrarily set to start at the beginning of a calendar month and end at the end of a month.[6] This meteorological definition of summer also aligns with the commonly viewed notion of summer as the season with the longest (and warmest) days of the year, in which daylight predominates. The meteorological reckoning of seasons is used in Austria, Denmark and the former USSR; it is also used by many in the United Kingdom, where summer is thought of as extending from mid-May to mid-August. In Ireland, the summer months according to the national meteorological service, Met Éireann, are June, July and August. However, according to the Irish Calendar summer begins 1 May and ends 1 August. School textbooks in Ireland follow the cultural norm of summer commencing on 1 May rather than the meteorological definition of 1 June. From the astronomical perspective, days continue to lengthen from equinox to solstice and...

...Coriolis effect What is the Coriolis effect? Produces Coriolis effect force Attalah that affect the moving object on the surface of the rotor, such as the Earth. Has been described this effect for the first time in 1835 by the French scientist Gustav - Gaspard Coriolis. Affect Attalah force on the left side to the direction of motion, for the movement of rotation in a clockwise direction, and on the right side, for the movement of rotation in the counter-clockwise direction. The Coriolis effect leads to a virtual deviation in the path of moving objects in a straight line on the rotating coordinate system. In fact no actual body deviates from a straight line, but it seems also because of the movement of the surface actually below. Commensurate Coriolis force on the ground with the sine of the latitude at the site. Where such a force equal zero at the equator and reach the maximum at the poles. The method Merry Go-Round (Tempozan) of the best and simplest ways to get to know the amount of the Coriolis force and unique direction. Stand near the outer edge of the rotary swing slow rotation so that they are in the face of the middle of it, taking care to hold strongly in the bars every time. If you try to tilt forward in the direction of the center, you will feel a kind of side force - the Coriolis force. But commensurate amount of this force with speed Tempozan and tilt forward speed. Alternatively, try to roll the ball on the length of a quick swing rotation, as shown in...

...climate between Equatorial and hot desert regions and in Africa it covers much of the central area outside the Western Equatorial zone including countries in the Northern Hemisphere such as Northern Nigeria, Sudan, and Tanzania and Angola in the Southern Hemisphere. It is characterised by high temperatures all year around (25-35 degrees c) with wet summers and dry winters. The weather which is experienced is related to the movement of the ITCZ which follows the migration of the overhead sunlight between the Tropic of Cancer to the Equator to the Tropic of Capricorn. In summer (June) the ITCZ moves north following the migration of the overhead sun to the Tropic of Cancer (23 degrees) which brings areas such as Nigeria under the influence of the ITCZ and its associated low pressure system. This brings seasonal convectional rains and high humidity. Temperatures are hottest in early summer but as the low pressure causes the build up of cloud and rain temperatures are moderated. The winds from the high pressure cells to the north and south converge towards the ITCZ as they are pulled into the low pressure zone. The areas closer to the Equator experience several months of rainfall whilst those nearer to deserts zones will be drier. In winter (Dec in the N Hemisphere) tropical wet dry areas in the northern hemisphere (eg Nigeria) will lie under the influence of sub-tropical high pressure cells. When the overhead sun is shining directly close to the Equator this pattern of descending...

...Background * Right and left hemispheres mirror each other, there are distinct areas dealing with speech production and comprehension showing their functional localization. It exists because Broca’s and Wernike’s areas are only found in left hemisphere. * Primary cortex is situated in frontal lobe; areas in right hemisphere receive information from and are concerned with activities on left side of body. * Sperry believes studies involving split-brain patients reveal ‘true’ nature of two hemispheres because commissurotomy disconnects the two hemispheres. This means they only work independently. * Previous research on animals showed behavioral effects. * Other research by Sperry on humans and monkeys suggested the behavioral effects of the surgery might be less severe than other forms of cerebral surgery, e.g. frontal lobotomy. * Akelaitis (1944) found that there were no important behavioral effects of surgical section of corpus callosum in humans, provided other brain damage was excluded. Research Method Aim and Hypothesis * Aim of the study was to investigate if each brain hemisphere: (i) Possesses an independent stream of conscious awareness (ii) Has its own separate chain of memories that are inaccessible...

...Brain Function Brain Structures and Functions Work Sheet Christine Bedgood PSY/340 6/3/2013 Jill Bean 1-Basal ganglia- The basal ganglia form a set of interconnected nuclei in the forebrain. The basal ganglia receive a large amount of input from cerebral cortex, and after processing, send it back to cerebral cortex via thalamus. Scientist believe this Basal ganglia is involved with the function of learning. (Pinel, 2009) 2. Corpus collosum- The corpus callosum is a thick band of nerve fibers that divides the cerebrum into left and right hemispheres. (Pinel, 2009)It connects the left and right sides of the brain allowing for communication between both hemispheres. The corpus callosum transfers motor, sensory, and cognitive information between the brain hemispheres. (Pinel, 2009) The corpus callosum is involved in several functions of the body including: Communication between Brain Hemispheres, Eye Movement, Maintaining the Balance of Arousal and Attention, Tactile Localization. 3. Temporal lobe - The temporal lobes are one of the four main lobes or regions of the cerebral cortex. Structures of the limbic system, including the olfactory cortex, amygdala, and the hippocampus are located within the temporal lobes. (Pinel, 2009) The temporal lobes play an important role in organizing sensory input, auditory perception, language and speech production, as well as memory association and formation....
