...Some people love broccoli and some people hate it, but there is no denying that broccoli is a nutritional wonder. However, this powerful vegetable has a lot of health benefits. There are some specifics reasons why broccoli should be a part of our diet which are protection of the nervous system, blood pressure, bone health, vitamin C, sun damage, immune system, diet aid, eye health, heart health. One of the common benefits is cancer prevention. In the concept of broccoli cancer prevention; it contains glucorapharin, which with the body processes into anti –cancer compound sulforaphane. This compound rids the body H.pylori, a bacterium found to highly increase the risk of gastric cancer. Furthermore, broccoli contains indole-3-carbinol, a powerful antioxidant compound and anti-carcirogen found to not only hinders the growth of breast, cervical and prostate cancer, but also boots liver functions. Moreover, the way we eat broccoli may determine how much we benefit from its cancer-fighting properties. In the same manner, our ability to absorb the antioxidants in broccoli increases when we consume this broccoli raw. Compounds in broccoli and broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables may help prevent cancer by destroying carcinogenic elements before they can alter the DNA in our cells. These compounds may also assist with the formation of proteins that suppress tumor growth. Most important, broccoli contains phytonutrients called glucosinolates, which produce isothiocyanates when they...

...I believe that doctors are held to a higher standard than everyone else. It is their duty as physicians to make sure that they are doing legal and ethical things. A lot of times we hear stories off different doctor doing illegal things. This affects their life drastically. They can be jailed and lose their job and everything that they have worked for if they commit illegal or unethical acts. Doctors cannot be distributing drugs to people unless they are necessary for their health. Doctors need to be careful that they are diagnosing people the right prescription and the correct dosage of that prescription. An article that I found that was interesting was about a doctor that prescribed drugs to her patients that did not need them. In addition...

...that was deemed old and no longer effective. Driven by Moore’s Law, the old roadmap-driven research method identified barriers that hindered usage of the continuing and increasing power of chips, and then built solutions to overcome those barriers. David Tennenhouse along with Hans Mulder implemented a new method, the ‘exploratory research’ strategy. The logic was to sample external environments and then amplify research around those identified as promising ventures. With Intel Research and Intel Capital under their wings, Tennenhouse and Mulder set out to bring in new innovations and ideas to Intel. However, a few roadblocks were in their way. The ultimate task for Tennenhouse and Mulder was not only to drive in new ventures, but also to develop a strategy to incubate and track the progress of their investments. In this paper, I will identify Tennenhouse’s strategy, as well as the hurdles that he had to overcome in identifying these strategies and implementations.I will then provide my interpretation and insight, as well as some suggestions to the problems that Tennenhouse and Mulder faced. Leveraging his experience from DARPA, Tennenhouse implemented an exploratory research strategy that placed emphasis on “sensing” the environment. His plan was to plant agents in areas that had an abundant amount of resources, information, and technical spark. Typically, universities with a dominant science and engineering history would be a prevalent place to start. These agents, also known...

...Jose Dejesus Dr. Steven Taylor English 11 D22 3/3/2014 2nd Paper Accounting: the need of bringing accounting history into classrooms Would introductory accounting students benefit from the lessons and experiences found in accounting history? That’s how the article “Financial Accounting Courses: An exploratory study” by Satina V. Williams and Bill N. Schwartz starts. According to studies made by Williams and Schwartz, students would better understand the political, economic and cultural issues affecting the development of accounting if they were exposed to the history and evolution of accounting through the years. They also suggested that gathering historical information in the beginning of the course of accounting may stimulate students to learn more about how accounting is actually working (Williams 198). After looking at records and seeing that many students are receive a degree without knowing the history of accounting, they conducted a survey to determine how they can get the history of accounting into the classrooms. After contacting 100 school’s accounting department administrators, they found 79 faculty members to ask for their opinions about incorporating accounting history into undergraduate introductory financial accounting classes. If they can get the majority of firms they might be able to bring accounting history into classrooms. They received 49 responses and 24 of them were in agreement...

...1. Introduction The globalization of the economy, internationalization of businesses and emergence of new markets are all key themes in contemporary business. Whereas international business may once have been the province of organisations with sufficient scale and reach, these types of companies – typically multi-national corporations - no longer have a monopoly on this kind of business. Increasing numbers of firms, of varying scale, are confronted with compelling reasons for expanding their activities across multiple national boundaries. In some cases, such motivation includes the knowledge that success in international markets is a pre-requisite for survival; if competitor organisations succeed in international markets, they may achieve the scale and liquidity which affords them sustainable competitive advantage. However, scrutiny of the empirical experience of international expansion suggests that the apparent potential is by no means straightforward to achieve in practice. This raises questions about whether or not it is realistic to envisage a ‘best practice’ in terms of international expansion strategy. Can the latter be conceived of as a specific and transferable management skill, or is it instead reliant upon expertise in a particular sector of business, a market, or a national culture? After all, if proven strategists are found wanting, where can the organisation go in terms of its future practice? Large, successful and sophisticated businesses have often found that...

It was shocking to me since it sounded like an extremely difficult task compared to the other papers I wrote. Luckily, that was just a mistake and the prompt actually required a paragraph summarizing each secondary source. With that in mind as well as the example summary, I was able to complete the annotated bibliography on time. Similar to the other papers, I had to question the rhetorical situation first. Like always, the readers are my professors, meaning that I did not need to elaborate too much on the primary sources. I also considered the genre of the story I had...
