The question therefore is: Is there a significant correlation between the number of building plans being approved and the number of companies in the construction industry being liquidated? For ease of reference “Building Plans” will mean the number of building plans being approved and “Liquidations” will mean the number of companies in the construction industry being liquidated. DATA AND HYPOTHESES All data used in this assignment was obtained from Statistics South Africa (http://www.statssa.gov.za/timeseriesdata/excel_format.asp) and extracts thereof are provided in table format in Appendix A.

...Is genetic engineering the answer to ending global hunger? Jennifer E. Law SCI 207 Haleh Keshtkar February 27, 2012 The controversial statement that genetic engineered food may be the solution to hunger in the world is gaining more and more interest by the media in today’s society. On the one hand, supporters of biotechnology believe that genetic engineered food ensures and sustains food security around the world as the population increases, but on the other hand, there are many concerns involved with genetically modified food. In fact, a lot of food that we eat on a daily basis contains genetically modified ingredients and usually without our knowledge. Yet, is genetic engineered food safe? Moreover, do we really need genetic modified food? Many researchers do not consider biotechnology the solution to hunger but they believe that poverty is the cause of famine in numerous countries. As a result, biotechnology raises various questions among citizens and farmers since there is the assumption that genetic engineered food is the key to eliminating global starvation (Genetically, 2010). Before weighing the pros and cons of genetic engineered food, it is essential to understand what is genetic engineered food? “Genetic engineering is a laboratory technique used by scientists to change the DNA of living organisms” (What is genetically, 2010). Scientists have learned that there are ways of changing the structure of DNA in living organisms and build customized DNA. Genetic...

...Huntington’s Disease Huntington’s Disease (HD) is a neurological condition characterized by uncontrolled movements, psychological and emotional problems, and decreased cognition. This disease affects 3-7 per 100,000 people of European ancestry, although people of other ancestries, such as African and Asian descent, are less affected. (3). Due to the nature and symptoms of the disease, various treatment plans can be enacted to help with everyday managing of the disease effects, along with new research that also helps shed light on the root causes. Signs and Symptoms Patients present with a variety of symptoms related to the malfunctioning of various neurons in the central nervous system. Onset of symptoms usually begin with patients complaining of clumsiness, tremor, “balance trouble”, or jerkiness. These movements, which develop into Huntington’s Chorea, is characterized by continuous, jerky, irregular, and writhing limb movements, which also can affect the trunk. Other areas also affected include the respiratory system, larynx, pharynx, and oral cavity. Along with spontaneous movements, voluntary actions are usually impaired, slow, and uncontrolled. (1) (2). Symptoms can also begin with cognitive impairments. Cognitive speed and efficiency tends to lessen, and over time, dementia will become more global. Behavioral changes include irritability, hallucinations, moodiness, paranoia, and psychosis. As dementia sets in, disorientation, loss of judgment and memory, and personality...

...For the exclusive use of J. Ulrey, 2016. 9-201-025 REV: MAY 29, 2003 RICHARD RUBACK PAULINE FISCHER Radio One, Inc. Radio One (Nasdaq: ROIA, ROIAK), the largest radio group targeting African-Americans in the country, had achieved tremendous success by purchasing underperforming radio stations, changing them to urban formats, and using its programming, marketing, and operating skills to cut unnecessary costs. Under the leadership of Alfred Liggins III, chief executive officer and president, the company posted consistent, above-average, same-station broadcast revenue and cash flow growth, and grew from 7 stations in 1995 to 28 in 1999. In October 1999, two of the nation’s largest owners of radio stations—Clear Channel Communications Inc. (NYSE: CCU) and AMFM Inc (NYSE: AFM)—announced plans to merge. Scott Royster (HBS ’92), chief financial officer and executive vice president of Radio One, knew that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) would require Clear Channel to divest some of its radio assets after the proposed merger. The divestitures were an opportunity for Radio One to acquire 12 established urban stations in the top 50 markets. Acquiring those stations would more than double the size of Radio One and help build its national platform. Liggins and Royster had to decide if Radio One should purchase the stations and how much to offer. The Company Radio One was founded by Liggins’s mother, Catherine Hughes, who learned the radio business ...

But it could even be more interesting to examine the peculiarities of the Argentine experience – always in that general context – which did add to the difficulties other economies have faced and that have made it such an intractable case for normal medication. And not only those peculiarities and their consequences should better been pinned down. But also an attempt should be made at understanding that they were not just a result of the extravagance of that far away people in one Southern end of the world. This paper is organized in the following way. In the first section a brief And to a great extent that is a line that could provide some examination of some long-run trends in the Argentine economy is introduced. The next section is an attempt at a thorough examination of the performance of the Argentine economy in the 1990’s and the development of some severe imbalances eventually leading to an unsustainable...
