...When you're shopping for a smartphone, what do you expect to get for less than $400 without a contract? Certainly not a top-of-the-line device, right? Until recently, that kind of price has been reserved for devices that were mid-range at best, or entry-level at worst. Ever since the gorgeous and powerful Nexus 4 came out last year for $300 on the Play Store, however, it's been clear Google is trying to give the high-end, $600-plus Android flagships a run for their money. Now the company's back with the Nexus 5, a power user's dream that sells for $350 and features some of the same specs you'd expect to see in a top-shelf device. That is, if you can even get your hands on one. The device sold out in less than two hours, and new orders won't get fulfilled for at least a few weeks. But what's so intriguing about the Nexus 5 that it's causing such a ruckus on the Play Store? It's a $350 flagship phone with the serenity of a pure Android experience and all the trimmings, that's what. The question is, can you survive the estimated three to five week waiting time? The Nexus 4 swept us off of our feet when it arrived last year. And for good reason: It was an aggressively priced smartphone with an elegant design and specs that were, at the time, quite high-end specs. It delivered great performance, a beautiful display and the best of what Android 4.2 had to offer, but it also had a few shortcomings, including subpar battery life and no LTE. Also, it only launched in black, with a...

...The Pursuit of Happiness The pursuit of happiness is a known phrase, from The Declaration of Independence. The phrase are describing the rights for a person to take actions, that allow’s the person to pursue happiness. However the way a person pursues his happiness has for many decades been discussed, as this is where the individual's personal morality come into play. So where is the limit for an individual's pursuit of happiness? Personally I think that you can pursue your own happiness as much as you want to, as long as you don’t intentionally damage other peoples happiness or break the law. But that’s just my point of view, on the pursuit of happiness. Others have different views on the phrase, where some think it’s impossible to define the pursue of happiness. The origin of the phrase comes from authors, such as John Locke. In his books he wrote “property” instead of “happiness”, until Thomas Jefferson replaced property with happiness, because happiness is a more general pursuit then property is. I would say that the american dream is to an extent, the same as the pursuit of happiness. Because it’s all about improving the quality of life. However it can only be achieved through hard work and dedication, like Chris Gardner in the movie. As an individual you can feel that you deserve success in life as much as you want, but if you are not willing to work for it, you will never achieve it. There are many different opinions on how success in life are viewed. Some are...

...the poem "On My First Son," Ben Jonson begins the poem by saying goodbye to his son, who was his right hand, meaning that he was always there when he needed him. Ben Jonson believes that one of this biggest sin was to love him too much. Jonson uses powerful diction and language to convey his emotions of anger and despair these emotions which he feels as a Father over the loss of his son and makes him question his faith. In the first stanza Jonson conveys his sense of loss by using its diction and language such as "farewell" and "joy." This show us the deep emotional pain he felt by losing the "child of my right hand," Jonson described his son with literally and happy words, "loved" and "joy" illustrates a relation that is deep and has a greate importance. The author also show his anger when he uses words such as "sinne " and "I thee pay" that clearly show us his dissatisfaction. The anger confronts Jonson's faith "seven years thou wert lent to me" because he believes that his son was too young to die and what make his anger bigger is that his son was only seven years old. Jonson tries to justify gods plan by saying that it was "just" or fair for the child to die since he believed that the child was a loan from God and the idea of fatherhood will never be the same for Jonson "Oh could i lose all father now," since his son died. Jonson tries weakly to envy his son's sudden departure to heaven which is shown by the sentence "And if no other miserie, yet age?" because he is free...

...Reagan's Interview For this particular interview I had a difficult time finding anyone who knew much about President Reagan or the topics at hand. I live in a small town of Republican based people but yet they didn’t know much or didn’t remember much about President Reagan’s term in office or his contributions to the United States. My first 3 days was actually in search for someone who could give me some insight on the subject. Finally, today I found an older gentleman who knew more on the subjects than those I previously interviewed. He stated the New Right was actually something that started was started by Paul Weyrich. Weyrich was responsible for the success of conservative polices since the 70’s. “Without Weyrich there would not have been a New Right,” he stated. In my research I found that the second New Right tended to focus on social issues and national sovereignty. It included deregulation of business, a dismantling of the welfare state, privatization of nationalized industries and restructuring of the national workforce in order to increase industrial and economic flexibility in an increasingly global market. (wiki.com) As I moved on to the end of the cold war he said, “Oh Gorbachev was different; he actually had a heart, it may have been a little cold at first but deep down he wanted peace between the nations. Ole Ron actually did something and he did something awfully good for this country. If ole Andropov or Chernenko had lived a whiles longer, we would probably...

...that the Southerners, “prefer death to Yankee rule,” (12) is ironic, even in the sense how Frederick Douglass’ calls out the sly subjugation of slaves themselves when further scrutinized. Be that as it may, some Confederate viewpoints say that most were fighting just to fight – that they, “spend much time in reading daily papers & discussing the war question,” (5) and how they wait time after time, hoping that somewhere possibly at a social or political – outside of the war, a verdict would be reached. During the final paragraphs, it is stated that the men fighting fought for, “not only for his own liberty, but [even] more for the liberty of the human race for all time to come.” (6) A Georgia lieutenant states that, “Pennsylvania is the greates country I ever saw in my life, … Molie if this state was a slave state and I was able to buy land here after the war you might count on living in Pennsylvania.” (52) Some men may have been clouded in doubt for their enlistment in the war, while others were far-sighted in their judgement of pro and anti-slavery. In spite of the misguided or blurred motives for Southern conflict against the Union, Northerners also had doubts among themselves as to the outcome of this war. A Virginia cavalry officer declares the Yankees as, “a nation of thieves and robbers,” and that he is, “more willing to kill as many of them as God in his providence will permit me.” (22) In the beginning, as stated by a young Virginian officer, “the Confederacy would win...

...This letter was about the harsh reality the Englishmen, women and children had to live in. It is important to acknowledge the hardships because it is a part of understanding the big picture. There are many sides to the story of discovering and inhabiting North America, and this letter is a crucial piece. Despite the lack of information we know about this author, his account is valuable to build a greater foundation of knowledge. The line written on page 140, “Indeede so I fynd it now to my greate greife and miserie, and saith, that if you love me you will redeeme me suddenlie,” is powerful because it clearly depicts how desperate he was in America. He was desperate enough to lay his father’s love on the line, giving the ultimatum that if you can’t help me, you must not love me. That puts the value of the letter into...

...Introduction: Ethics is a branch of philosophy that examines the moral standards of an individual or society, and asking how these standards apply to our lives and whether these are reasonable or unreasonable. Business Ethics: The application of ordinary human moral and ethical considerations in a business setting. Due to the complication or complexities of handling with human nature, many will agree that it is hard for everyone to agree on one, when it comes to determining a set of rules, guidelines or principles to follow in the business industry. Therefore, to a certain extent, the field of business ethics tries to come up with solutions to handle problems that arise within the business environment. On the contrary belief, one should not be confused with the meaning of morality and ethical theory. Morality has got to do with principles or rules that are used by people to decide between wrong and right (Jennings, 2008). Meanwhile, ethical theory tends to provide guidelines that justify an action to be right or wrong when settling human conflicts. This paper is going to discuss five different ethical theories. They consist of the utilitarianism, Kantian deontology, justice, rights and ethical relativism theories. After that, these ethical concepts will be used to identify some of the ethical issues that are presented in the article entitled ‘News of the World: What was it like on the inside?’ Finally, this paper is also going to come to a conclusion regarding the effectiveness...

Rome however, did not start so huge, it started as a samll citty state, which was easy to handel. then more people, and non romans known as foreigners came into their small ctity sate. as time passed by Rome transformed into a a world power empire. there transformation made a huge impact on how they ran thier empire. the Roman Republic decayed and made the transformation into the Roman Empire was because of the changes in governement and the different people that came in to conquer.

...Write an analytical essay (800-1200 words) in which you analyse and interpret Kirsty Logan’s short story “The Rental Heart”. Part of your essay must focus on the use of symbols and on science fiction elements in the short story. You may use information from the Internet in your essay. Kirsty Logan. “The Rental Heart”, 2010 (PDF) Kirsty Logan’s short story begins with: ”i met Grace” and ”the day after i met her, I went to the heart rental place.” Disse to citater er meget vigtige, centrale og symbolske med et element af science fiction i forhold til budskabet og temaet. De danner grundlag for hele historien, som handler om forvirrende kærlighed og forelskelse ”The rental place” er et virkeligt sted, med skilt på døren, hvor man kan gå ind og leje et nyt hjerte ”technolegy moved fast,” ”the new hearts had extras….. like timers and standby buttons”. Science fiction elementet, hvor man lejer et hjerte, når det gamle er skadet, kan også siges at være en meget rund metafor for det at blive forelsket, ulykkelig kærlighed, at komme videre og date nye. Den urealistiske verden og det mystiske place er en hjælp for hovedpersonen og nævnes mange gange. ”Hjerte” er et symbol på forelskelse og kærlighed. Rental er at låne noget nyt af andre, i dette science fiction tilfælde, at låne et nyt hjerte, når det gamle er slidt og, at komme videre. Ved hjælp af the rental place er hovedpersonen usårlig. dette fører til temaet som kommer af ”rental” der indebærer forvirring, trang til...

...Jung’s theory is based on the pysche (commonly called the ego) and operates by the principle of opposites, the personal and collective, and the unconscious and conscious. We use our primoridal past, something we inherit from our ancestors, to make sense of our future. Where Freud used the word libido, he was speaking more about the sexual driver, on the contrary, Jung uses the word to mean an energy that moves a person forward. The ego for Freud is teh executor of the personality, whereas, for Jung, the ego is one’s conscious perception of self. Our personal unconscious is where our perceptions, thoughts, feelings, and memories have been surpressed and can be esaily retrieved. All of our experiences in our life histories are stored in our personal unconscious. Our experiences, according to Jung, are grouped together in what he calls. Complexes are ideas and attitutudes that agglutinate together thru feelings. There are four types of complexes: The Ego- which is in our personal conscious, this is where we accept things as who we are, typically good things. The Shadow-this is the opposite of the Ego, things we do not accept as us, which are typically bad. the Shadow is not as well developed as the Ego. The Persona-This is a Greek word which means "maks", the facade we wear for society, and is also given by and used by society. Archetypes-specific meanings we ues to make sense of the world, and are connnected to our primoridal past. Jung's theory was based on the ego...

...When is Surgery Right for Intersex Infants? When a fetus is born the physician holds the infant up and announces whether it is a boy or girl. In about 1 in 1500 to 1 in 2000 births occur where the child is born with noticeably atypical genitalia (Intersex Society of North America, 2008). A group of conditions where there is a discrepancy between external and internal genitals is known as intersex (Kaneshiro, 2009). Intersex is also known as hermaphroditism. The term hermaphrodite came from the joining of the names of Greek god Hermes, god of male sexuality and Greek goddess Aphrodite, goddess of female sexuality (Kaneshiro, 2009). Standard medical treatment usually consists of looking at the genitals, determining the gender and then correcting it surgically. The questions is, what if the doctor’s get it wrong? The nonmedically necessary surgeries that are performed are irreversible and can have disastrous consequences. Ethical Concerns The ethical concern is that some physicians perform unnecessary surgery and get the gender wrong. The physician anticipates they know how the child will feel as an adult, but there is no guarantee that the child will feel like the chromosomes to which they are assingned. Surgery is an easy process for physicians, but is an extremely difficulty process for the child. Childen who do not identify with the gender they were surgical given can have profound psychosexual devlopment delays and deficits, and delayed or absent normal encounters...
