...This is a simple “How to Report” to show you what it is you will need to know when starting your new business. In this passage we are going to be reviewing 4 different business models to help you make better decision when starting your new business. Let’s start with Porters five forces model. Figure 1 Figure 1 Porter’s five forces model (Figure 1) is a business strategy tool that helps a person analyze all the different strengths, weaknesses, pros and cons of the industry and your business. Let’s begging by looking at Potential Entrants, in here we study how hard it is to enter, if you need any knowledge, and if there are any barriers to enter. If entering the market is very easy then this becomes a bad thing because it will lead to lots of competition which means lower income to stay competitive. Next, let’s examine the buyers, is there a high demand for the product, is it price sensitive, easy to switch to another brand. By having a high price sensitive product you won’t have much control over your selling price. If the competition brings down their price so will you because with high price sensitive products the customer is looking for the better price. To continue, we have threat of substitution, can the customer substitute your product or service by doing it themselves if they can what is the ease of them doing it. The easier your product/service is to substitute the least of the need/worth for it. Also, Porter identified Supplier Power, is there a number of suppliers...

...ignored the warning, so on August 6th 1945, an American bomber called the Enola Gay was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan. This blast killed an approximated 70,000 people and destroyed more than eighty percent of the city, but the Japanese still did not surrender. The US dropped a second atomic bomb, and after a furious debate in the Japanese cabinet, the emperor of Japan announced a surrender. This day on the 14th of August became known as V-J Day, for Victory over Japan.The approach to bring discrimination cases before the courts that I would have disagreed with most would have been using violence to gain attention. This approach only caused an uproar that required law enforcement and resulted in injuries of many people. Although it did bring attention, it brought the wrong sort of attention that they were seeking. The courts possibly would have been less eager to see their cases after acts of violence, since it only demonstrated rebellion. President Lyndon Johnson proposed the development of a plan called the Great Society, which was a plan with an ambitious goal to improve the standard of living of every American. One of these important Great Society programs was Medicare. This plan helped to pay the hospital bills of citizens over the age of 65. Similar to this program, Medicaid gave states money to help poor people of all ages with medical bills. Along with this,...

This group of youngsters makes Shaun a part of something, and as Shaun has missed that for a long time he grasp the chance.

...with him. Then while she is already fuming and unforgiving about the loss of their child, he brings home another woman as a war trophy from Troy. You only see the story from her perspective after the loss of her daughter, which can understandably turn anyone into a bitter tyrant. Anyone who has ever felt close to a child, or had a child of their own, would completely understand the want for vengeance against the person or persons who caused any harm against them. It’s not to say that what she did was right, but understandable. She is shown as a malicious, vengeful individual who is depicted as the antagonist because of the murder of Agamemnon and Cassandra, but she was probably much more of a kind person before the sacrifice of Iphigenia. This is brought forth near the end of the play when she speaks to the Choros about why she did what she did. It almost makes one feel morally torn between whether or not they approve of her actions or not. CASSANDRA With the introduction of Cassandra, she’s objectified in the sense where she’s seen as nothing more than a war prize. Everyone except for Agamemnon seems to be aware that it’s a bad idea to have basically kidnapped her from Troy. She’s probably the voice that I connected to the most out of the stories, and not just because she’s my namesake. She’s brought to a city by the person who just destroyed her home, to a city she doesn’t know; to someone she knows is going to kill her. Feeling helpless is probably one of the worst feelings...

...In humans, defecation may occur (depending on the individual and the circumstances) from once every two or three days to several times a day. Extensive hardening of the feces may cause prolonged interruption in the routine and is called constipation. Human fecal matter varies significantly in appearance, depending on diet and health. Normally it is semisolid, with a mucus coating. Its brown coloration comes from a combination of bile and bilirubin, which comes from dead red blood cells. In newborn babies, fecal matter is initially yellow/green after the meconium. This coloration comes from the presence of bile alone. In time, as the body starts expelling bilirubin from dead red blood cells, it acquires its familiar brown appearance, unless the baby is breast feeding, in which case it remains soft, pale yellowish, and not completely malodorous until the baby begins to eat significant amounts of other food. Throughout the life of an ordinary human, one may experience many types of feces. A "green" stool is from rapid transit of feces through the intestines (or the consumption of certain blue or green food dyes in quantity), and "clay-like" appearance to the feces is the result of a lack of bilirubin. Bile overload is very rare, and not a health threat. Problems as simple as serious diarrhea can cause blood in one's stool. Black stools caused by blood usually indicate a problem in the intestines (the black is digested blood), whereas red streaks of blood in stool are usually...

...regional (between Austria-Hungary and Serbia). The common belief in United Kingdom in the year 1914 was the war would last “till Christmas” (under half year). The Germany foresaw the war to last similarly short as they put their stakes on short and no diversionary war according to Schlieffen Plan. The most significant factors in term of prolonging the war were the failure of Schlieffen Plan together with the determined attitude of both camps to win. This resulted in the tactical stalemate of trench warfare, which again contributed to the length of the war. All factors mentioned above were essential in prolonging the war. First of all, Germany gambled on a quick victory with the Schlieffen Plan that did not pay off and resulted in the trench warfare. Schlieffen Plan was a warfare strategy whose main aim was not to create diversionary war on Western front with France and Eastern front with Russia. The key strategy was to outtake the France earlier through the undefended boarder with Belgium before the Russia mobilizes all its units. This strategy anticipated Belgium to be unprepared and pass through in a couple of days to France. But Belgium proved itself determined and unwilling to give up easily, as it took 2 weeks for army of Germany to win over the Brussels. France used...

...This I Believe Essay June 4, 2014 Family Should Come First Most of my earliest memories do not have my biological father in them, even though he lived less than a 5 minute walk away. I grew up in what is now considered to be a "broken home" environment. Back in the seventies I lived in a trailer court with my mom and her new husband, the infamous step-dad. During this time, my ‘real' dad was moving on with his life as well, living with his new wife only three streets away. It was uncommon for him to call or come over to spend time with me, but being so young it didn’t really matter at the time. As the holidays started to fly by my stepfather began to notice that my dad was no longer showing an interest in my life. My real dad had even stopped asking me what I wanted for Christmas, and started sending money to my mom to go buy me a gift from him. Needless to say this was the last straw in my stepfathers’ eyes. What he did next, I’ll never forget. He waited for my ‘dad’ to drop off the "present money" and confronted him on the front porch. Even though I was in the living room area with my mom, I still heard this man, my 'step-dad’ stand up to my real father and tell him that “Jason doesn’t need your money. What he needs is his dad to take an interest in him, get more involved with his life and show him that family is always there for each other no matter what”. My dad became silent. I think he knew there was a lot of truth to my stepfathers’...

...Grading 'Waiting for Superman' Dana Goldstein | September 23, 2010 Here's what you see in Waiting for Superman, the new documentary that celebrates the charter school movement while blaming teachers unions for much of what ails American education: working- and middle-class parents desperate to get their charming, healthy, well-behaved children into successful public charter schools. Here's what you don't see: the four out of five charters that are no better, on average, than traditional neighborhood public schools (and are sometimes much worse); charter school teachers, like those at the Green Dot schools in Los Angeles, who are unionized and like it that way; and noncharter neighborhood public schools, like PS 83 in East Harlem and the George Hall Elementary School in Mobile, Alabama, that are nationally recognized for successfully educating poor children. You don't see teen moms, households without an adult English speaker or headed by a drug addict, or any of the millions of children who never have a chance to enter a charter school lottery (or get help with their homework or a nice breakfast) because adults simply aren't engaged in their education. These children, of course, are often the ones who are most difficult to educate, and the ones neighborhood public schools can't turn away. You also don't learn that in the Finnish education system, much cited in the film as the best in the world, teachers are—gasp!—unionized and granted tenure, and families benefit from a...

...The dreadful “Why this school?” essay. While I could sit here and draft a well-detailed essay on UChicago’s education and reputation, I feel propelled to talk about the unique factors that UChicago possesses that makes it a perfect school for me. Contrary to many prospective students, I am not attracted to UChicago solely based on its proximity to Chicago or incredible academic reputation. I am attracted to Uchicago because of the sense of home I experienced when I first stepped onto the campus. It felt as if I had finally found that piece that I was missing my whole life. I could easily picture myself being a part of the UChicago community. I saw myself entering John Crerar Library and interacting with students of multiple majors and cultures thanks to the core curriculum that bonded us. I saw myself creating a new family. I knew that University of Chicago would become the doors to my academic success when I sat to observe a physics class. I was automatically drawn by the way the professor taught his material. Through the use of real world applications, the professor was able to maintain his class engaged the whole time. This form of teaching was brand new to...
