...provided by us two group members and other games will include Ludo, chess, Card games, Dice games, Darts and Target games etc. that we will be outsourcing to a student from our own university- Sublet. Competition: The business idea proposed above will have a huge advantage to its benefit because of the fact that there are almost zero indoor games offered by Bahria itself and neither at the day of BAZAR, we only see a table tennis and that too attracts a very less number of students. Our focus is to give the students a chance to do something interactive and have a little fun and laugh with their friends in order to get a break from the hectic routine. Marketing: Marketing will play an important role and add value to our venture by attracting customers. Marketing will include the basic uses of advertising and public relations. We’ll be using posters and invitation to inform and invite our fellow students and respectable faculty members. And the use of social media websites will indeed be the best source to communicate about our service. Costing: A tentative list of the games that we will have at the stall with the prices and the quantity, there is still room for error and addition of more games depending on the sublets. The sublet...

He reveals the technique of shaping the instruments and chiseling the marble. Michelangelo is excited touching the marble and working on it. Shortly afterwards, Lorenzo invites him to attend the meeting of the Plato Academy comprising of scholars from various fields of learning. Marsilio Ficino had started the academy years ago. A well-read man, he had translated the works of great masters and introduced printing of books in Florence. Christoforo Landino, Angelo Poliziano and Pico are some of the esteemed members of the academy. They query Michelangelo about his knowledge of Greek art and volunteer to teach him the ancient language. They also talk about purifying the church and resurrecting arts and science for the betterment of humanity. Michelangelo is fascinated by their talk and feels enriched in their presence.

...Crabbendam Lake is by the ends of my feet, my head laid on my bookbag. No clouds surround the sun, so my eyes are closed. I’m moving my pupils around to get different colors. Towards the bottom, there's a pool of green and if I relax my eyelids enough, I can cut the center blue. Moving my eyes towards the back, the orange turns into a dark red until it's black and all the colors are gone. The lake was clear, and you could see the algae shooting up. Pinecones and twigs had been surrounded by the algae, but their shapes were intact. Tadpoles swam in between the weeds and leaves where the water and land met. I took my shoes off and walked into the lake. The floor was slippery, and the algae slipped in between my toes. In 2016, I skipped my bible...

...Marner by George Eliot Silas Marner, a weaver, is an eager and promising young member of a Puritan religious community, Lantern Yard. Marner's supposed best friend, Willam Dane, frames him for the theft of a pouch of coins. Marner suffers from cataleptic fits which leave him as insensible as stone and vulnerable to Dane's frame-up. The community of Lantern Yard draws lots to determine Marner's guilt or innocence in the crime. After the lots proclaim Marner guilty, he flees from Lantern Yard, utterly crushed, leaving behind his faith in God and in humankind. Marner eventually settles at the outskirts of Raveloe, a provincial village in the English Midlands. The villagers appreciate Marner's trade but find him strange and unapproachable. Marner seems to have supernatural powers--he is able to heal a local woman using herbal arts he learned from his mother--but the villagers of Raveloe do not know his background and thus find his knowledge diabolical and threatening. Marner, for his part, is content to live a life of almost total solitude in his simple cottage beside the Stone-pits. Marner has one joy in life: gold. The gold coins that he earns at his loom represent for him all the meaning that he has lost, and the faces printed on the coins serve as his only company. He spends as little as he can in order to save more coins, which he hides in two leather bags in a hole in his cottage floor. Meanwhile, Raveloe is the home of other wealthy citizens. Its most wealthy and distinguished...

...Have you ever wondered what other cultures did at their wedding ceremonies? Our traditional wedding ceremonies may be the “norm” to us but what is everyone else’s like? Something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue may not be for everyone. In my research paper I will be finding three different cultural wedding styles and explaining them to you. I will compare the different wedding practices to ours. I will explain why it is important for different cultures to have their own wedding practices. Lastly I will close in how important marriage is to every culture. We all are pretty familiar with our traditional wedding ceremonies in the United States but I have been curious of the wedding ceremonies that have been going on around the world. I am here to research and take a deeper look into them. The first one I found very interesting is from China. “In modern China, brides pick not one wedding dress, but three. First, there's the traditional qipao or cheongsam, an embroidered, slim-fitting frock that's usually made red for weddings, because red is a strong, lucky color in Chinese culture. Next, the bride might swap into a white poufed ball gown that wouldn't look out of place at an American wedding — a bridal nod to the popularity of Western trends. Finally, the bride ducks out of the reception to change into a third dress, this one a gown of her color choice or a cocktail dress.”(Pappas, 2011, para. 1). The second one I found is in Africa. “Traditional...

...A popular chart going around shows that since 2001, college textbooks have increased in price more than 100% while recreational books have fallen in price by a little more than 1%. The consumer price index, meanwhile, has only increased about 30%. Have writing, printing, and supplying higher-education materials increased in cost so much that producers are just trying to pass on the expenses? Likely not. The fact is that consumers of college textbooks typically don't have a choice, making the demand inelastic and allowing publishers to charge prices well above what the consumer may value. While fantastic for publishers' margins, is this bubbly business sustainable? Let's analyze it. The rotating roster of publishers McGraw-Hill Education, now owned by Apollo Group (NASDAQ: APOL ) , Pearson (NYSE: PSO ) , and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt make up the three largest educational publishers. The previous owner of McGraw-Hill Education, McGraw Hill Financial (NYSE:MHFI ) , completed the sale of its textbook segment in March for $2.4 billion in cash, which it is using for share buybacks. Why did McGraw Hill want to divest from its education segment? The company's press release positions the slimmer group as "a high-growth, high-margin benchmarks, content and analytics company." And since completing the sale in March, McGraw Hill's stock has outperformed the S&P 500 by 14%. But was the segment that big of a drag? Not too much. In 2011, its education business brought in 37% of its...

...Pardoner then explains to the pilgrims the methods he uses in preaching. His text is always "Radix malorum est cupidatis" ("Love of money is the root of all evil"). Always employing an array of documents and objects, he constantly announces that he can do nothing for the really bad sinners and invites the good people forward to buy his relics and, thus, absolve themselves from sins. Then he stands in the pulpit and preaches very rapidly about the sin of avarice so as to intimidate the members into donating money. He repeats that his theme is always "Money is the root of all evil" because, with this text, he can denounce the very vice that he practices: greed. And even though he is guilty of the same sins he preaches against, he can still make other people repent. The Pardoner admits that he likes money, rich food, and fine living. And even if he is not a moral man, he can tell a good moral tale, which follows. In Flanders, at the height of a black plague, three young men sit in an inn, eating and drinking far beyond their power and swearing oaths that are worthy of damnation. The revelers mark the passing of a coffin and ask who has died. A servant tells them that the dead man was a friend who was stabbed in the...

...Islamic & Hindu Weddings The Islamic and Hindu religions have an array of similarities and differences regarding their customs and laws in relation to the ‘wedding ceremony’. Within Islam, the wedding ceremony is believed to be both a religious and social obligation to get married. As a result, there is a great weight placed on religious, social and cultural dimensions of the ceremony which tends to be simple in nature, paralleling Islamic beliefs. Hindus also place a lot of importance on marriage ceremonies which signify customs, rituals and elaborate celebrations. However, a key difference lies in the fact that Islamic marriages are seen as contractual agreements, whereas Hindu marriages are perceived to be sacrilegious. This essay compares and contrasts the various aspects of both Islamic and Hindu wedding ceremonies. For each aspect, the essay examines the Islamic tradition and in turn the corresponding Hindu wedding ritual. Islamic wedding ceremonies or Nikah can be performed in a variety of ways depending on the culture in which they are arranged. For example, Islamic marriages can slightly vary depending on whether they are part of the Asian or Arab world. Typically, Islamic marriages are arranged by the parents of the bride and groom, with the bride and groom having a final say in who they will ultimately marry. The marriage proposal in effect comes from the woman, who contacts the man through a common liaison who tends to be a male relative. The stringent...
