...One of the less well known and appreciated genre’s of art was the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood’s style. The first The Pre-Raphaelites, like the Romantics, were great lovers of nature. They believed in showing things as they truly were. Many Romantics, and especially those that belonged to the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, did not agree with the classical beliefs being taught in art schools. These ideals required artists to beautify their subjects. For this reason many followers of this movement painted their landscapes outdoors and used real models4. They also composed their pictures with out any specific formula3. They chose not to use pyramidal constructions and other classical rules that were taught in many of the art schools. Instead of coming across as sloppy and rushed, many of their pictures appeared very realistic; as opposed to the classical compositions that were so formulaic they became boring and stiff. The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was formed in 1848 by John Everett Millais, Dante Gabriel Rossetti and William Holman Hunt2. They had all attended the Royal Academy of arts together and were trained in the classical style of painting5. This style was very routine and repetitive. The three founders wanted to do something more original, something not identical to the late painter Raphael. The origin of their organization's name stemmed from their ambition to get away from the purely Raphaelesque paintings of the day4. Unfortunately, the art critics and general...

...All throughout history different people have faced the “cycle of the ism.” People faced it in very early times with racism, which was a cause of slavery in our early history. Homophobia is one of the many “isms” that our world is faced with today. Homophobia is the fear or prejudice of homosexual or “gay” people. It is wrong and we need to make an effort to stop the prejudice. People are faced with this every day all around the world in Russia, Iran, and even a pro homosexual marriage country like the United States of America. “No one should have to suffer at the hands of someone else's intolerance,” (Amanda Chatel). Homophobia is a “cycle of the ism” because of the oppressor versus an oppressed relationship between the homosexual people...

...growth and new jobs? The unemployment rate is at its lowest since December 2008. Good news? Not really, the details to the latest payroll report are not pretty. Current Economic Outlook Positive signs, but beware! Manufacturing is expanding at its fastest past in 2 ½ years, but will that translate into economic growth and new jobs? The unemployment rate is at its lowest since December 2008. Good news? Not really, the details to the latest payroll report are not pretty. October 1 ISM Manufacturing Index What the ISM indicates Monitoring the ISM Manufacturing Index allows us to understand the current economic conditions. Financial Markets are extremely sensitive to this index. Stock markets should increase when the index increases because of higher corporate profits. In bond markets the opposite usually occurs, due to the sensitivity of potential inflation. ISM also measures the degree of change across manufacturing, and is an indicator of GDP Growth. Current vs Expected The ISM showed that its Manufacturing Index grew for the 52nd consecutive month as the PMI came in stronger than expected at 56.2% in September, versus a Bloomberg consensus estimate of 55.0%. That shows an increase from 55.7% in August and the fourth straight increase in the index. A reading above 50% indicates growth.

...MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM – TCS PAKISTAN 1. Introduction (Today’s Market Scenario) 1.1. The amount of competition faced by organizations today is more intensive than it was ever before. With the ever-expanding number of organizations and products, customers have a wide array of choices available. As a consequence the manufacturers and service providers now have to view their products and services from the customers’ point of view not only to maintain a high quality but also to incorporate the customer-defined improvements whenever needed. In order to remain in business for long term and ensure their survival they have to incorporate techniques that would force the customer to choose them from the rest. 1.2. The change in paradigms has forced many organizations to redefine their mission and strategies. Earlier the focus was merely on price and quality but now because of intensive competition, organizations have to come up with unique strategies that would give them competitive edge in the eyes of the customer, so that he prefers them in the long run. 1.3. Nowadays organizations are gaining advantage through ‘quick response,’ an aspect that is continuously in focus in developed countries. Quick Response mainly came into being from the manufacturing point of view i.e. in order to determine the time of replenishment in the supply chain etc. Hence quick response in the beginning was used for the betterment of the manufacturing industry. But with the rise in service...

...In Priestley's "Wrong Ism", he claims that nationalism is not the strength that binds a country together, but rather all of the small local areas we are all accustomed to growing up in that gives us strength. Priestley considers nationalistic ideas and movements to be headed by people who have a love of power and who have left out their regional ties. They no longer have feelings for the areas they came from and any loyalty developed over their lifetime is watered down. Priestley feels regionalism needs to be given more credit. He assumes it provides us with roots and a sense of attachment to our community which affect people's lives in such a way that it creates a unique bond that can be very hard to break. So in a sense, regionalism shapes our identities and I agree with his assumption that people view themselves more as part of their region rather than a part of their nation. Loyalty to one's region can be compromised when individuals allow national power and greed to destroy their roots. There are many examples of how nationalism tries to take over a region to destroy its people. For instance genocide, in nearly all examples, has been started by a power-hungry national figure who has an agenda in mind that never takes into account what a local area's wish might be for their future. Hitler is an example of this type of authoritarian oppressor who had a very complex national strategy in place to exterminate the Jews. He certainly did not consider or recognize regional differences...

...(2013) Res. J. Management Sci. Interpretive Structural Modelling (ISM) approach: An Overview Rajesh Attri1, Nikhil Dev1 and Vivek Sharma2 2 Department of Mechanical Engineering, YMCA University of Science and Technology, Faridabad, INDIA Department of Mechanical Engineering, Advanced Institute of Technology and Management, Palwal, INDIA 1 Available online at: www.isca.in Received 27th November 2012, revised 27th January 2013, accepted 1st February 2013 Abstract Interpretive structural modelling (ISM) is a well-established methodology for identifying relationships among specific items, which define a problem or an issue. This approach has been increasingly used by various researchers to represent the interrelationships among various elements related to the issue. ISM approach starts with an identification of variables, which are relevant to the problem or issue. Then a contextually relevant subordinate relation is chosen. Having decided the contextual relation, a structural self-interaction matrix (SSIM) is developed based on pairwise comparison of variables. After this, SSIM is converted into a reachability matrix (RM) and its transitivity is checked. Once transitivity embedding is complete, a matrix model is obtained. Then, the partitioning of the elements and an extraction of the structural model called ISM is derived. In this paper, key concept of ISM approach is discussed in detail. Keywords: ISM, SSIM, RM, variable, modelling. Introduction It is generally...

Allumbaugh Antion Anderson Joseph Carl Battistelli Niesha Joyce Bedney UMUC AMBA 610 Professor Paula O’Callaghan November 6, 2012 Corporate Level Strategy Organizations utilize corporate-level strategy to find a new domain to succeed in, while still maximizing the utilization of its core competencies. Moonglow Acre’s core competency has always been social responsibility and concern for the environment. They can use this capability to expand into new domains, whether they are related or unrelated. Not only can a change in domain or structure add value, but the culture an organization implements can also positively or negatively affect their value (Jones, 2010). One way that Moonglow could positively utilize a corporate-level strategy would be to take over its supplier or input domain, a display of backward vertical integration, and produce his or her own organic ingredients. By doing this they could decrease the costs incurred by companies that inflate their costs, especially since there are most likely a small number of organic ingredient suppliers. Moonglow already displays a situation where they have expanded into a new related domain by investing in environmental projects, such as reforestation. This strongly supports their organizational culture and is a display of related diversification (Jones, 2010). Another positive of implementing a corporate-level strategy would be utilizing unrelated diversification...

...Part 1 Problem Description Alex Events Inc., a local event planner, has several longtime clients that are becoming an issue. Historically, Alex has been able to keep business records in a notebook. There were only a few clients; they had some recurring events; only a few caterers were involved. Things have changed. Alex has decided to focus on this business full‐time, and has recently picked up some new clients. Additionally, Alex has developed more favorable contracts with new caterers, but only for certain types of events. Furthermore, Alex would like to charge clients different rates based on the length of their contracts with Alex Events Inc. Frankly, this has all gotten out of hand! Alex has approached you to develop a database that can be useful for the firm’s issues. Ideally, Alex would like the database to include information about the clients, the caterers and the events. Since some clients are new, not all will have events. Alex typically plans three types of events: Product Rollout, Press Conference, and Celebratory Function. Some of the caterers will work only some types of events, while others will work all types of events. Additionally, the different caterers charge different rates for different events… Alex has supplied you with an excel file with all the information currently available. Requirements ERD: Import the Access 1 Spreadsheet Excel file. Use the Wizard to create tables and relationships. Please take a “screen shot” of your tables and...
