...Caroline Ann Cresswell 125 Q: The book has no place in modern society In today’s modern society, hard covers and paperbacks have lost its place as a front-runner in the book industry, with new innovation and technology being so rampantly developed and researched all over the world. Actual books might eventually be a thing of the past. With Kindle e-books surpassing the sales of hard copy books in the market today, is that something we should be worried about? The invention of e-books can be considered to be a lifesaver in the dwindling market for books. According to Amazon beginning on April 1st, Kindle books have sold 105 copies for every 100 printed books sold, and this even includes the print books that are not available in Kindle editions. The study also showed that this year has been the fastest year-over-year growth in Amazon’s book business in the past ten years. The company said that through both printed books and Kindle books they have seen a surge of new and existing customers making orders. For that we can be certain that Kindle books are certainly on a one-way track, and that track is going up. Findings of the very first book dated all the way from 2400 BC where Egyptians carved their day-to-day activities on clay, bark and even metal sheets. This was the very essential tool that was used to shape and aid a growing civilization. Important information was documented to help people remember and after time, this helped the later generations avoid mistakes that could...

...The University of Iowa Children’s Hospital (2013) produced the pamphlet “Identifying Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) and Treatment Guidelines” to inform the general population about NAS. The pamphlet listed some of the most common drugs including barbiturates, cocaine, heroin, marijuana, methamphetamine, opioids, sedatives, and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). The pamphlet also discussed the general symptoms of NAS and it broke them down into three categories. The first category was neurological symptoms which included irritability, increased wakefulness, high-pitched cry, increased muscle tone, frequent yawning, sneezing, and seizures. When I read these symptoms I was quite surprised that some of them were things such as frequent yawning and sneezing. I assumed that all of the symptoms were going to be traumatic and cause great harm to the infant, however, sneezing and frequent yawning seem to be minor symptoms. The second category was gastrointestinal symptoms which included vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, poor weight gain, poor feeding habits, and uncoordinated and constant sucking (University of Iowa Children’s Hospital, 2013). When I read these symptoms the uncoordinated and constant sucking symptom caught my attention. I had previously learned in an anatomy class that this symptom can cause major...

...systems are better than the U.S healthcare systems. The reviews illustrated that the Canadian healthcare systems give the Canadians better and superior healthcare services as compared to the U.S (Pylypchuk&Sarpong, 2013). Pylypchuk andSarpong (2013) contended that various analysts have found that U.S is one of the countries whose spending on healthcare is big, but suffers the poorest healthcare for its people. Reports show that Canada has longer life expectancy than the US. The report on infant mortality in Canada shows that Canada is better than U.S by a great margin. Although analysts say that the comparative analysis do not give consistent differences between the healthcare systems, U.S is one of the countries that has been spot-lit of the idea of expensive healthcare. The actual reasons for the differences between the Canada and U.S are not yet determined; however, analysis by the World Health Organizations by the ratings of the healthcare in 191 member nations indicate that U.S is 72nd while Canada is 35th. There is need for improving the status of healthcare in the U.S so that citizens of can enjoy favorable healthcare costs and better healthcare services. The...

...developments that changed horror film. After the 80s it is said that there were definitely many good horror movies, but there has not been one truly outstanding in development, however, the urge to frighten the ones that dare to watch has become stronger and more limitless. We all know what it feels like to watch a horror scene and feel your heart beating faster and your body tensening. Something that many of us have not done, most probably because there is no time to focus on detail, is really look at the elements to see why we are frightened. To determine these elements I will be analyzing two scenes from two horror movies. I wanted to stay within reach of the highly developed period and one from within the past ten years, mainly because technology...

Build-a-Bear Workshop closely approximates by employing a Focused Differentiation Strategy which concentrating on a narrow buyer segment by meeting specific tastes and requirement of niche members. A focused strategy keyed to differentiation aims at securing a competitive advantage with a product offering carefully designed to appeal to the unique preferences and needs of a narrow, well-defined group of buyers (as distinguished from a broad differentiation strategy aimed at many buyer groups and market segments). Successful use of a focused a differentiation strategy depends on the existence of a buyer segment that is looking for special product attributes or seller capabilities and on a firm’s ability to stand apart from rivals competing in the same target market niche. Build-a-Bear Workshop employs successful differentiation-based focused strategies targeted at upscale buyers wanting products and services with world-class attributes. Indeed, most markets contain a buyer segment willing to pay a big price premium for the very finest items available, thus opening the strategic window for some competitors to pursue differentiation-based focused strategies aimed at the very top of the market pyramid. 2.

...integral part of homes in the modern world that it is hard to imagine life without television. The boob tube, as television is also referred to, provides entertainment to people of all ages. Not just for entertainment value, but TV is also a valuable resource for advertising and different kinds of programming. The television as we see it and know it today was not always this way. Let’s take a brief look at the history of television and how it came into being. TIMELINE OF TV HISTORY Different experiments by various people, in the field of electricity and radio, led to the development of basic technologies and ideas that laid the foundation for the invention of television. In the late 1800s, Paul Gottlieb Nipkow, a student in Germany, developed the first ever mechanical module of television. He succeeded in sending images through wires with the help of a rotating metal disk. This technology was called the ‘electric telescope’ that had 18 lines of resolution. Around 1907, two separate inventors, A.A. Campbell-Swinton from England and Russian scientist Boris Rosing, used the cathode ray tube in addition to the mechanical scanner system, to create a new television system. From the experiments of Nipkow and Rosing, two types of television systems came into existence: mechanical television and electronic television. MECHANICAL TELEVISION HISTORY In 1923, an American inventor called Charles Jenkins used the disk idea of Nipkow to invent the first ever practical mechanical television...

...Research suggests that solar energy is the best option for sustainable energy in this country because it generates clean, reliable electricity, it helps the economy, and it contributes to reducing the environmental impact generated by other energy sources Ricardo Araujo Westerns Governors University Energy production and usage continue to pose significant environmental challenges. Various administrative organizations have established various mechanisms through which environmental protection can get achieved (Growing Significance of Renewable Energy (Presentation), 2007). The threat emerges from the continuous usage of fossil fuels such as petrol and diesel that produce large amounts of emissions. Factories, households, transportation and offices continue to depend on fossil fuels as their primary source of energy for heating, lighting and other uses. The practice carries on despite the fact that they individual have the knowledge of the effects of the emissions that come from the fossil fuels. On the contrary, Craddock (2008) points out that individual choose to ignore the campaigns carried out by environmental safeguard activists across the world. As a result, the mitigation processes have had a slow but progressive response in the adoption of clean energy by various institutions across the globe. One of the focuses of the source of clean energy is solar power. The adoption of source of energy would significantly decrease the levels of global warming and ultimately,...

Since the seventies, China has sought joint venture partners and encouraged technology transfer through foreign investment. Chinese firms are successfully manufacturing products on behalf of numerous foreign companies. The Chinese government provides massive contracts to foreign firms in order to build up the infrastructure required for its industrialization. Many companies establish distribution networks in China in order to benefit from the large home-market and increasing purchasing power of Chinese consumers. Last but not least, in 2008 China organized the first Olympic Games in its long history. However, businesses and governments around the world have overlooked China’s appalling human rights record.
