...Development and the environment China wants to clear the air with a market-based approach to pollution DOING something about global climate change seems to be one of the very few things that the Chinese and American governments can agree upon. Earlier this year they announced a series of environmental measures which would, in practice, bring their carbon emissions per head to roughly the same level by 2030. Now, at a time of arguments over cyber-security, the South China Sea and much else, they have done it again, with President Xi Jinping due to announce, during a summit meeting with Barack Obama in Washington, that China plans to set up a national carbon-emissions trading market in 2017. When up and running, it should be the largest in the world. China already has seven pilot emissions-trading schemes in individual cities and provinces. The government always said that, assuming they worked, it would create a national market, too. The new announcement merely confirms that and provides a date. Such "cap-and-trade" schemes set a price on carbon. Governments or local regulators set an overall limit on carbon emissions (the cap). Within that cap, companies are given allowances to produce carbon, or they buy them. They then trade the allowances. If pollution is too high, companies must buy more allowances, pushing up the carbon price. In practice, the system depends heavily upon getting the details right: if the allowances are too generous, the market price of carbon becomes...

...Student’s Name Professor’s Name Course Date An analysis of the film Apocalypse Now The Apocalypse Now is an outwardly delightful, weighty perfect work of art with surrealistic and typical arrangements itemizing the disarray, roughness, dread, and nightmarish franticness of the Vietnam War. On first look, Apocalypse Now may resemble a war film or maybe even a dramatization. It felt like a thriller, loathsomeness, an epic and also a film that was past the typical limitations classification to me. O'Donnell (p 19) points out that lighting is as a key segment in the film close by fogs and shadows. The general appearance of the film is dull and shadowy concerning the subject of war and the faint experience that the officers grasp in that. As the enterprise begins, the lights are steadily raised. Willard starts his vessel ride in nightfall. However, as the excursion gets more profound, the movie gets gloomy, the shadows get maintained, and light is darkened. The movie’s lighting is profoundly illustrative of the risks of the conflict in the wilderness and the allegorical voyage that the warriors attempt in the otherworldly domain. The vessel, relevantly named "Erebus" (the dim locale of the netherworld, the one that the dead must go before they achieve Hell; the underworld), is not lit by any stretch of the imagination, yet is the only asylum in the profound wilderness around. The lights are flashy and difficult to the eyes (Hell’s fire) whereas the blacks are demanding to the...

...right?” Harold nods. “Good, good.” Dr. Winford says as he sets down a loosely strewn together pile of papers with various charts and numbers. “Yeah, so, get at it.” Harold turns back to his desk and breathes deeply. “Back to it then, I guess.” 11:54 AM Harold walks up to Dr. Winford’s desk and hands Dr. Winford the pile of papers back along with a report on his analysis of the data. “Find anything interesting?” Dr. Winford asks. “Other than that I have no idea what this thing is or where it came from?” Harold retorts. “So, no?” “No, not really.” 1:26 PM Dr. Winford pokes his head out of his office and calls for Harold to come quickly. “I’m on the phone with the Ames Research Center’s data team, they seem to think they’ve found something interesting.” Dr. Winford explains. Harold picks up the phone. “Hello, my name is Matt Vaughan and I’m on the data analysis team at ARC.” “Alright Matt, this is Harold Young from Goddard Center, data analysis. What did you find?” “Well we were looking over the blackbody radiation curve measured from the object, and we found something, unexpected when we ran the tests again.” “Well, what is it?” Harold asks impatiently. “Well it’s just, it’s just got a very large spike in the infrared region.” “What do you mean?” “Like, not just infrared or microwaves, it seems to be emitting radio waves.” Dead silence swallows up the small office. “It’s emitting radio waves?” Harold repeats. “Yeah, we’re not sure what this means, but we’ve never...

I look ahead and what is coming down the road and plan my work and time accordingly. Behavior: I learned that I’m punctual, responsible, energetic, ambitious, and I have a strong sense of right and wrong. This is me to a T! I hate it when people walk into work late, or show-up for a meeting late. I still believe that people should put in a day’s work for a day’s pay. If I’m the manager, I will set a good example. I expect people to work, if they want to get paid. Personality: In the Meyers-Briggs test, I tested out as an ISTJ, meaning that I’m an Introvert, Sensing, Thinking, and Judging. Again, this is me!

...Male Dominance in Tess of the D’urbervilles The Victorian era, as described by Professor of History and Women's & Gender Studies Nancy Reagin in her essay “Victorian Women: the Gender of Oppression”, witnessed the ideology of separate spheres in which society viewed men as independent and reasonable while viewing women as passive, dependent on men, emotional, and submissive. Men were given the governing role in which they would dominate society due to their ability to make rational decisions while women were expected to unquestionably fill the social roles that men decided for them, and those roles usually revolved around a woman’s duties as a mother and a wife. In marriage, a woman was expected to abide by the orders and views of her husband, and man and wife became one in terms of a woman’s rights, property, and identity. In Tess of the D’urbervilles, a book written in the Victorian Era, Hardy conveys this ideology of separate spheres in his portrayal of men and their dominance over women in society, primarily Tess. Their dominance is shown in how the men act as the masters of society, but it is also seen in how the women in Tess unquestionably view the men as the dominant gender. Often, the women are blindly influenced and act passively when interacting with male characters such as Alec and Angel. They are also seen to be very dependent on the men, and the men acknowledge that, for that is expected of a woman in that age to not be able to make a living for herself. The...

...Publix Strategy Recommendation As an individual, “Goals play (an) extremely important function in our life by organizing our thinking and giving our life order and direction” (Chaffee, 2012). Goals influence our decisions and suggest courses of action (Chaffee, 2012). The same can be said of business. Whether as a human entity or a business entity, we grow and become fruitful (profitable) by solving problems, making intelligent decisions and achieving goals that have purpose and provide fulfillment (Chaffee, 2012). Businesses, regardless of industry or size have one ultimate goal in common, that goal is to maximize profit and/or shareholder wealth. And, it is how a business goes about achieving this goal that determines how mighty an opponent the company is in its industry. Take Publix for example. Publix and the Supermarket Industry Publix Super Markets, Inc. was founded by George W. Jenkins in 1930. The company is a member of the highly competitive supermarket industry. Publix made its start in Winter Haven, FL and now operates 1,068 supermarkets in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina and Tennessee. The company is largest employee owned supermarket in the United States with over 157,000 employees, and is also one of the top ten largest supermarket chains in the United States (“Publix”).

...Janis Graham American Intercontinental University General Electric and the Kitchen Range October 20, 2013 Abstract General Electric (GE) has been a major successful brand name for so many years for its large and small appliances. GE’s iconic history and technological advancements have contributed to a loyal and lasting consumer base, one which will be analyzed further in this document. The following document will not only explore the history and present, but will outline in detail the future demographic trends that are essential to GE’s future success in the home appliance industry. General Electric and the Kitchen Range Introduction Kitchen ranges have gone through major transitions since wood burning and cast iron devices to induction, convection and dual fuel from gas to electric. The industrial revolution was a turning factor for many companies to expand in the marketplace by trying to make kitchen chores easier and faster for women through the development of appliances. This area was the beginning of progressive inventions in this market which many companies such as Whirlpool, Electrolux and General Electric (GE) all became major players and still are today in this very competitive industry of home appliances. Part 1: Competitor Selection In 1892, two companies combined Edison General Electric, developed by Thomas Alva Edison and the Thomas-Houston Company, owned by Charles A. Coffin to originate the organization of General Electric Company soon...

...The Forgotten Group Member Frank Rasmussen put down the telephone receiver and leaned back in the comfortable swivel chair. He put his hands behind his head, interlocked his fingers, and raised his feet onto the desk. The traffic on University Avenue three floors below him was heavy, but he was not really thinking about it. He thought of Janet Simpson, who had just called. She had sounded frustrated and even somewhat defiant. "I cannot fathom why the other group members are against me. I know that you have assigned a group project, but I would like to request permission to do an individual project." His course outline stated that Business 388 was "heavily group-oriented," and his consent to Janet's request would essentially contradict the conceptual approach he had chosen. He could do it, using the rationale he had proposed so often, that the organization needs to be as flexible as possible in trying to meet the needs of individual members. Either way, there seemed to be a catch. He was not sure at this point how to address the problem. The Setting and Environment The University of Ontario School of Business and Economics caters to approximately 1000 students. It has acquired an enviable reputation in the province of Ontario and normally has to turn down numerous applications each year, even though the minimum average percentage required for entry is 84 percent.

...Marketing plan Craftmade International Inc. Marketing Plan Executive Summary With energy prices increasing and an increased interest in sustainability, a market for high efficiency, environmentally friendly lighting has been created. This need can now be cost effectively met with LED lighting technology because of recent advances in LED manufacturing techniques in China combined with maturing LED technology. Currently, no one has successfully entered into the market place to fill this void. Craftmade is well positioned to step forward and fill this void. Recent legislation in Washington has paved the way for increased public uptake of more efficient CFL and LED lighting. While incandescent light bulbs have not been phased out yet, it is important for Craftmade as a lighting appliance manufacturer to lead the way in lighting technologies. Already, competitors such as GE Lumination, and Philips have begun to introduce innovative products that incorporate LED lighting, and have seen large returns as a result. Due to technological advances in LED manufacturing and increased consumer exposure on store shelving, LED light bulbs are increasing in quality and decreasing in price. In order to take advantage of these recent developments in the lighting industry it would behoove Craftmade to adjust current designs or introduce new designs that implement the use of LED technology. The most advantageous opportunity would involve re-introducing current designs with LED capabilities...
