...Fanny Brawne, Feminism and Bright Star. 1. Background: Historical view of Fanny Brawne 1. "A heartless flirt unworthy of a great poet": Fanny was historically painted as an insufferable flirt who cared nothing for Keats, using him for her own amusement while also "ruining" him. A. "an art-ful bad hearted Girl." (George Keats), "A cold and conventional mistress" (Joseph Severn), a "poor idle Thing of woman-kind" (John Hamilton Reynolds), "[she] was vain and shallow, she was almost a child; the gods denied her the ‘seeing eye,’ and made her unaware.” (Louise Imogen Guiney). Letters of a Critic and the publication of Keat's love letters. B. "To Fanny" used as argument for her "ruin" of the poet: Physician Nature! let my spirit blood! O ease my heart of verse and let me rest; [...] Who now, with greedy looks, eats up my feast? What stare outfaces now my silver moon! Ah! keep that hand unravished at the least; Let, let the amorous burn— But, prithee, do not turn The current of your heart from me so soon C. Vitriol levelled at Fanny similar to that seen towards the partner's of celebrities in modern days; compare to Dylan O'Brien and Britt Robertson. 2. "The unwed widow": The release of Fanny Brawne's letters to Fanny Keats from a private collection in 1939 led to a more sympathetic view of Fanny and her relationship with Keats. A. Sudden 180 led to very (overly)...

...“Bright Eyes” “Bright Eyes” is a relatively small specialist Swedish manufacturer of glasses/spectacles. The company was established in 1977 by Henrik Skagen and is now run by his two children Helga and Lars Skagen. Initially the company made and sold a range of prescription glasses but quickly focussed on the non-prescription end of the glasses market. During the boom years of the 1980’s and 1990’s Bright Eyes sunglasses were a desirable fashion accessory and competed directly with other branded sunglasses. The recession in Europe and the appointment of Helga and Lars as directors in 2003 resulted in significant changes in the company. Prior to 2003 the company had experienced strong sales across northern Europe but was less well known in southern Europe. Initially Henrik Skagen promoted his product through trade shows and via an internal sales force who represented the product to retail outlets. Helga and Lars extended the product range to include non-prescription reading glasses, reading sun-glasses, glasses cases and sports goggles (for snow skiing and water sports). The product designs are known as being very “Nordic”, using simple but strong lines and bold colours. The products are positioned at the top end of the mid-market with a pair of reading glasses retailing at between €35-85 and a pair of sunglasses at €35-140. Products are available in department stores, accessory shops and sports outlets. Over seventy per cent of the company’s sales are to consumers over...

...Bright Light Innovations is a real situation – the names, dates, and plans were correct at the time the case was written. The case is based on an award winning business plan created by a team of students (mostly undergraduates) and faculty advisers all of whose names are mentioned in the case. An instructor should be aware that students might do an online search of the company and product and discover its latest strategy. As of this writing, such a search only yields information about how the business plan fared in various competitions. The case allows a discussion of several important issues. At a broad level, the case deals with selling a relatively technical breakthrough that could have tremendous social value in a developing country. It shows how marketing principles can be used to help a less-fortunate population. But marketing a product in a developing country can be a real challenge. Channels of distribution are often limited. Consumer incomes are low – and the Starlight Stove might cost one third of the average per capita income. The selling price on the stove, which has not been set, might range from $80 - $100 or more. This is a considerable expense in a country where the gross per capita national income is only $400. The case mentions microfinancing and a 20% interest rate is typical. Broken down to $.68 per week, customers may better understand costs and benefits. The stove offers significant economic benefit by allowing owners to spend more time...

...EVAN 101-B23 LUO 10/10/11 Methods of Evangelism Paper Part ONE - Evangelistic Method #1 The Four Spiritual Laws is an intellectual method of evangelism, which, as it’s title suggests, identifies four spiritual laws that direct an individual’s relationship with God. It was created by Dr. Bill Bright, founder of Campus Crusade for Christ, in 1952. The four laws, as sited on CampusCrusade.com, are: (1) God loves you and offers a wonderful plan for your life. (2) Man is sinful and separated from God. Therefore, he cannot know and experience God’s love and plan for his life. (3) Jesus Christ is God’s only provision for man’s sin. Through Him you can know and experience God’s love and plan for your life. (4) We must individually receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord; then we can know and experience God’s love and plan for our lives. An advantage of this method is that it begins with positive note, “God loves you and offers a wonderful plan for your life,” which may cause non-Christians to be more receptive to the message. Due to the fall and sin, mankind is at variance with God (Ephesians 2:13-16) and there may be a tendency to reject a message concerning God without ever hearing the message. However, starting with such a positive introduction may cause an individual to “lower his guards” so he can hear the Gospel. Another advantage of this approach is that it can be easily communicated in print form and makes for a useful tract, especially considering the positive...

...Arienne Felisa C. Palma Comm 1 – Ma’am Yu 2015-04880 Dec. 6, 2015 On the Bright Side According to an article in UNESCO’s website, “Youth’ is best understood as a period of transition from the dependence of childhood to the independence of adulthood and awareness of our interdependence as members of a community.” Youth is a more fluid category than a fixed age-group. This statement alone tells us about how complex the term “youth” is since, as we all know, there are infinite differences and varieties between an individual from another individual, a group from another group, and an entire culture from another culture. But generally speaking, there are numerous ways on how to determine people from the youth today and to later find out that these observations are very much lucid and manifested. There are many possibilities as to how to determine the differences between the youth nowadays and the youth before. Stating the main characteristics of today’s generation alone is enough to make a comparison from then. These personal characteristics may be further categorized into four main divisions: Physical, Social, Emotional and Intellectual. Physically, we can see how fashion drastically changes from time to time. As compared to before, the youth today have clothing which tends to be a whole lot showier and less conservative, most especially to girls. Also, they are more likely to be concerned about bodily image than the youth before. And unfortunately, most of them...

...Health and Dan Health’s “Finding the Bright Spot” In the chapter “Find the Bright Spots” taken from the book Switch: How to change thing when change is hard, the authors state that: when changing things, there’re bright spots in your field. You need to direct your followers- the Riders by following these bright spots and make the Elephants’ expect that change is possible and the Path is clear. In 1990, Jerry Sternin came to Vietnam to fight malnutrition with barely support from the government. Firstly, his team found that there were a lot of problems such as poor sanitization, poverty, out of clean water. However, in six months and almost no money, solving these problems became useless. After weighting, Jerry found that there were healthy and well-nourished kids despite their poor families. There were his bright spots. Besides that, he directed the mother’s Riders to shadow the bright spots’ mothers. Uniquely, these kids ate four times instead of twice a day, parents fed kids by hands, or mixing rice with small shrimp, crab and sweet potato green provided vitamin and protein for the kids. Because knowledge couldn’t guide the villagers, Jerry created cooking classes at the bright spots’ houses, provided detailed instructions to the mother’s Riders. Gradually, more mothers followed and this made the mothers’ Elephants believe in making their kids healthier. Six months later, 65 percent of the kids became healthier. Bright spots exist in every field that you deal...

...The Pretty Green Leaf You smoke marijuana for medicinal use, and you grow it, yourself? “Hell yes!” was the response from many members of this meeting. I was dreading this fourth Monday of the month. I was just too curious to pass it up. I knew I had to be there to find out how this subculture really was. I kept reminding myself, of how I grew up. In foster homes, you see a lot of terrible things. This can’t be that bad. The meeting started. The members the members sat casually and socialized, and discussed ways to make each other’s lives better. I was sitting and listening, grateful the welcoming I received. The whole room was chatting about their cultivation. It was already evident that they all have the same belief. The marijuana helps their ailments. As the night went on, my curiosity grew stronger. My thirty-seven-year old mind was hooked on the fascination of it all. Speakers rotated and gave advice on many topics. The first speaker spoke of the laws and regulations. Next, there was a young woman who explained some of her new organic soil. The tw- hour meeting seemed to fly by, as each person spoke. As I listened to each person, I encountered several different ailments. The range was quite extreme. The most common seemed to be migraines. I heard many different stories. I recall a few the most. One of the conversations I had was a nice lady who explained to me why she uses it. She described the excruciating pain in her legs, due to her diabetes. She expressed her reasoning...

...The world has always been filled with all kinds of threats and even though efforts have been made to reduce and prevent them, they cannot be completely eliminated. At present I see the future from global perspective to be quite gloomy. There are a number of significant threats raising their heads. All the economic crises we have face are among the lowest worries. Downturns as well as upturns will always be, but after all they are only temporary. As well these crises are only about money. When talking about global threats I would draw more attention to population growth and resource depletion. The combination of these two can have, and I believe that they will have devastating consequences after few decades. With very high probability these two together will cause wars around world. This is inevitable when the living space and food will be scarce. Wars and armed conflicts always cause major economic losses. Not only that war itself swallows the money, wars result in significant financial consequences. Trading becomes more difficult and peters out. Plants, buildings, crop yields, ports, rail and roads will be destroyed, unemployment will rise and people's purchasing power will be reduced, refugees strain the economy and so on. Wars and armed conflicts are also not encouraging domestic and foreign investors to make investments, but investments are channeled into more stable countries. Wars and conflicts throughout history have spread illnesses and diseases that have also spread...

With all the developments in the Field of Energy generation, like Nuclear power, hydroelectric power, Wind and Solar Energy, 24 hrs. of electricity all year round is not a myth anymore. The Earning potential of the middle class has increased tremendously and an ordinary middle income household earns roughly 60-90 thousand dollars in a year here in the United States of America (Census, 2007).

At present there are 3 billion people in the world earning less than 5 dollars a day, and living without electricity.
