...During this discussion I will be discussing W.E.B. Du Bois and Little Rock Nine and how each topic he shaped African American History. W.E.B. Du Bois William Burghardt Du Bois; better known as W.E.B. Du Bois, was born on September 23, 1868 in Great Barrington, Massachusetts in a community which was predominately white. There were about 5,000 whites to 50 blacks. Born to Mary and Alfred Du Bois, he was raised to believe that hard work was the key to success. In 1884, he graduated from high school at the top of his class, made up of thirteen people with him being the only African American. Even though Du Bois could not attend Harvard as he always dreamed was excited to be accepted into Fisk University. It was an all-black university located in Nashville, Tennessee. His response to being accepted into Fisk was, “I was going into the South; the South of slavery, rebellion, and black folk; above all, I was going to meet colored people of my own age and education, of my own ambitions.” (Himan, 2005) Attending Fisk was a risk for Du Bois. He was not exposed to this sort of treatment and was shocked at how unrestricted whites were on how they treated African Americans. The more he discovered about the injustices African Americans suffered, the prouder he became of his own heritage. He graduated from Fisk with honors and received a scholarship to attend Harvard. During his years at Harvard he developed the theory racism was caused by ignorance. In 1895, he was the first...

...Organizational Structures and Processes Summary For The Department of Health and Human Services Organizational Structures and Processes Summary Introduction “The department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is the primary agency the United States” (USDHHS, 2011, pg. 1) government uses for supplying essential human services and for protecting the health for Americans. HHS dispenses more funding money than any of the other government agencies collectively and symbolizes roughly a quarter of national expenses. Most HHS funded services are provided at the local level by county and state agencies and works closely with local and state governments or through private sector grantees. There are 11 operating sections managed by the department programs, which include three human service agencies and the U.S. Public Health Service has eight agencies. There are more than 300 programs, obscuring a large range of activities. Impartial treatment of beneficiaries nationally is also provided by HHS and the collection of national health and other data is enabled. Organization’s Structure In the Department of HHS, the organizational structure is organized in a tree-like structure, most of the other offices of administration branching from the center, the secretary portion.

...Homework #3 April 7, 2011 1) The profit maximization rule for determining the most efficient output level is considered through marginal revenue, and marginal cost. The point at which profit is being maximized is when the revenue gained from selling one additional unit is equal to the cost of producing the unit. At this point, the firm is receiving an average rate of return at the highest output level possible. For example, a shoe producer pays $25 to produce one shoe and can sell the shoe for $50. At this output level the marginal profit is $25 and the profit maximization rule would dictate an increase in output. Inversely, had it cost the show maker $60 to make one additional shoe and could only sell the shoe for $50 the profit maximization rule would dictate a decrease in output. Following profit, marginal revenue would be -$10 and the maximization rule always leads to maximum profit when marginal revenue is equal to marginal cost, the highest output level attainable without losing money to produce the product. 2) STEPS 1. Begin at initial long-run equilibrium 2. Income elasticity is -1.3 and consumers income decreases 3. Quantity demanded decreases 4. Price is bid downward and the firm is faced with a new marginal revenue 5. If the consumers’ income does not recover over time the LRAC curve will fall downward 6. In response to the market, the firm will decrease output until marginal revenue equals marginal cost 7. π=Q(P-LRAC)<0...

Основные способы перевода и переноса аббревиатур с английского языка на русский 3.1 Перевод аббревиатурой и перевод развернутой формой 3.2 Транскрипция сокращений Заключение Библиография Введение В наше время в языке научной, технической, экономической литературы, как английской, так и русской, встречается большое количество разного рода сокращений. Рост числа сокращений, находящих применение в современном английском языке, совершенно закономерен. Следствием развития науки и техники, международных интеграционных процессов в области экономики и народного хозяйства является появление все новых и новых понятий, которые нуждаются в терминировании. Большинство новых понятий и в русском, и в английском языках выражается при помощи словосочетаний или сложных слов, так как именно эти виды терминов дают возможность отразить необходимые и достаточные признаки того или иного понятия с наибольшей полнотой и точностью. Но термины - сложные слова и словосочетания - громоздки. Поэтому и появляется...
