...How succesfull was domestic policy of Napoleon III? All was going well for Louis Bonaparte when he sat on the throne of France. It seemed that the lack of military genious that his uncle enjoed was replaced with the economic prosperity of the country which came with the affection of providence at the same time when he took his position as the Emperor of France. But overall, Napoleon III had an aim to maintatin his status quo, so according to that he change the features of his domestic policies from authotorian to liberal. These changes resoult mainly in succes. Aspects that changed in accordance to the transition of his ideology was, for example, the relationship with the Church. Napoleon knew that he would need the suport of the Church to approve his coup d'etat. The Legitimists among the clerigy view the Empire as a more Catholic friendly enviroment, and wealthy Catholics thought that the Emperor will, if suported, ensure prosperity for cleregy and religion from which Catholics of all social ranks will have benefits. Therefore, it is clear that the relationship during the reign of Napoleon III was largly pragmatic. Latter on, Napoleon tried to decrease the influence of Church in politics and familly lifes, but in the same time use clerigy as a tool to diminish the imapact of the press. I think this was succesfull because more room was left to people who specialised in economic and social matters and were, therefore more appropriatte for the course of development...

...It is important to make critical evaluations of news stories because there are many misleading articles that are based on opinion rather than actual facts. A writer need as many facts on a story as possible to convey the proper and accurate message to the reader, this allow them to know what is going on in the world around them. http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2012-06-03/actually-obama-is-running-a-positive-campaign gave very good detail about Obama running a positive campaign for the 2012. I believe the story was credible, being that it came from an interview with Obama’s chief strategist, David Axelrod. They gave good facts in the article that was provided. They took on the idea and put the negative and positive of both democrats and republicans. They showed a percentage of how each candidate faired when it came to advertising the truth. Not much examples of positive that Obama has accomplished was put on the article, but it was enough to make a compelling argument. The question of ‘How do we know that he has been running positive ad’s’ was asked, if it wasn’t advertised as much. The editor of the article stated that the positive ads were released only in the battle ground states, such as Florida, North Carolina, etc…. According to the ad, in these states national big wigs cannot see them, such as Bob Schieffer. The statement made by Axelrod seemed a bit opinionated It also seemed that they paid more attention to the number of ads given since the campaign began rather...

...Personal Honour I’ve learned in my life that if you live life doing the right thing, being kind to others, living life with honour is best. Honour is one’s belief and action. I try to do the right thing as much I can. One day I went to HMV to buy movies, I picked up 3 dvd’s and paid for it. When I got home I notice when I looked on the receipt that the cashier just charged me for two instead of three. So the next day, I went back to the store and told them that I was not charged for one of the movies. The cashier thanked me and said that most people wouldn’t have brought the dvd’s back. I could have saved $30 dollar, but conscience was telling me to bring it back and pay for it. I try to be kind to everyone even if some people are rude to me. I work as a manager for McDonalds, and one day at work a customer came up to me and started to yell. The first thing that came to my mind was to punch him. But instead I listened to his story and help him solve his problem and because I was nice, he left the store happier. Where I grew up no one did the right thing, being kind was a weakness and honour was no were to be found. Every day, I try hard to live a good life so my son can see the difference between right and...

...Kimberly English 1101 20 Sept. 2008 Unfortunately, many people in today’s society are extremely ignorant to the basic knowledge of politics. They have no idea whether they are a conservative or a liberal. There is also a good chance that they have put little thought into formulating views on the controversies between the parties. Before people are able to even do those things they must first know what a conservative is and how they are differ from liberals. A conservative party is a political group that is committed to preserving what they consider “good” in their country. In the United States, conservatives generally favor limited government, public morality and free enterprise. They are usually right wing politicians who hold traditional values like respect for family. Conservatives tend to be very patriotic and prefer a large role for military to provide security for society. Some of the principles they adhere to are strong national defense, return of prayer in school, prohibition of abortion, and choice in education. They also believe that marriage should take place between a man and a woman. Many conservatives express strong feelings about the sanctity of life. Conservatives generally value individual accomplishment and are opposed to government involvement. They do not believe that it is the job of the government to solve problems of society with costly policies such as mandatory health care. Simply put liberals think that the government should take care...

...an exotic land, rife with unusual wildlife and untamed lands. Others see it as an impoverished, overpopulated country, while others know it to be an upcoming leader in technology. In fact, India is all this and much more. With an incredibly long and rich history, it has changed and developed tremendously since ancient times. Even so, a good deal of its culture and traditions have withstood the test of time. Art is a diverse range of human activities and the products of those activities; this article focuses primarily on the visual arts, which includes the creation of images or objects in fields including painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography, and other visual media. An art centre or arts center is distinct from an art gallery or art museum. An arts centre is a functional community centre with a specific remit to encourage arts practice and to provide facilities such as theatre space, gallery space, venues for musical performance, workshop areas, educational facilities, technical equipment, etc. The creative arts are often divided into more specific categories, each related to its technique, or medium, such as decorative arts, plastic arts, performing arts, textile arts or literature. We do this by: • programming local, national and international music, theatre, cinema, dance and a whole host of workshops • supporting artists who live and work in our region • providing opportunities for all in our community to participate in making art .

...To what extent was the Kulturkampf a political misjudgement by Bismarck? [30] The Kulturkampf was launched by Bismarck – President of Prussia – as an attack on the Catholic Centre Party to weaken its political influence and the Catholic community as a whole. It aimed to sway the loyalties of the Catholics away from the Pope and more to the side of the Prussian Kaiser and the German state. The Kulturkampf simply failed due to the fact that Bismarck had miscalculated the extent to which Catholics in Germany were loyal to the Pope. This fact became explicit when the Kulturkampf – through its policies – actually worked to increase support for the Centre Party. This was completely not in favour with Bismarck’s desired outcome of weakening the Party. This Catholic bond transpired to be much stickier than first thought. The’ victimisation’ of Catholics in Germany by Bismarck united them in contempt for the latter instead of weakening them as first desired by Bismarck and was the reason why he reversed the regressive laws put in place to weaken the Centre Party. He realised that he had misjudged the entire situation. It also transpired that Bismarck had pulled the short straw as he had chosen a tough and resilient enemy in the German Catholics. He had effectively consolidated support and sympathy for Catholics in Germany and this was also a primary reason as to why the Kulturkampf failed. Bismarck simply did not know who his biggest enemy was. Also, Protestants’ refusal of Bismarck’s...

...Whittle Chairman, Departmental Committee on Graduate Studies BARKER Design Considerations for Retractable-roof Stadia by Andrew H. Frazer Submitted to the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering on May 20, 2005 in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Engineering in Civil and Environmental Engineering ABSTRACT As existing open-air or fully enclosed stadia are reaching their life expectancies, cities are choosing to replace them with structures with moving roofs. This kind of facility provides protection from weather for spectators, a natural grass playing surface for players, and new sources of revenue for owners. The first retractable-roof stadium in North America, the Rogers Centre, has hosted numerous successful events but cost the city of Toronto over CA$500 million. Today, there are five retractable-roof stadia in use in America. Each has very different structural...

Task: | Expansion | STEP 1: PROJECT CHOICE | Topic Title: | Lack of expansion of seats in food centres | Reasons for choice of topic: | As Singapore’s population is constantly increasing, there is an increase in the lack of seats in food centres such as hawker centres and food courts. Footnote evidences of population increasing and lack of seats at food centres? During lunch and dinner timings, many are unable to find a seat as soon as they reach the food centres and thus they are forced to wait until there is a vacant seat. The impatient ones may then choose not to eat and leave the food centre. As such, during those peak hours, many of those who manage to get a seat would use their belongings such as their tissue paper and umbrellas to reserve their seats. This would thus cause foreigners who visit the food centres to think that Singapore is a society that lacks graciousness. Footnote evidences? | STEP 2: CASE STUDY (ON ANOTHER COUNTRY OR AREA OF YOUR CHOICE) | WHAT is the problem?(Evidences that there is a problem) | Many people are unable to get a seat...

...Washing and dressing in bed * Person description Mrs. B aged 75, able to communicate verbally and nonverbally. * Introduction Just before beginning the job, I checked her room temperature and made sure enough toiletries s are place. I asked her whether she likes to have a wash and dress, she agreed. * Preparation (a) After that I approached a colleague and asked her to help me. I informed her as per the care plan we need to work in two. We put apron on, went to the linen cupboard and took two sets of hand towels, flannels and few nappy bags. We then moved to Mrs. B’s door and knocked and waited for her response. We entered in her room and greeted her “good morning Mrs. B’ She said “good morning”. I very slowly introduced myself and colleague’s name that we will be giving her a wash and dress in bed. Mrs. B smiled. * Preparation(b) We disinfected our hands and dried (it was provided on the wall dispenser) and put the gloves on.

...film? The Spanish Civil War, more specifically how Franco’s army and the right-winged parties consolidated while the left-winged opposition fragmented and was, eventually, forced out. Also there is a general message about war and how such terrifying events can rob children of their childhoods. 3. Were you frightened during the story? Of what? Which characters were more frightening – Santi? Jacinto? Did this response change as the film progressed? If so, how? At first the movie seems like any other typical ghost/horror story, where one grows weary of the ghost’s presence primarily due to fear of the unknown. However, as the storyline develops, one becomes uncomfortably accustomed to the ghost’s appearance. Furthermore, after learning the circumstances behind Santi’s death and Jacinto’s involvement in the murder, one becomes morally sympathetic of Santi’s cause. Consequently Jacinto becomes more frightening as a character given he proves himself unremorsefully capable of murder. By the end of the film it is evident that ‘true’ evil manifests only through the actions of the living, where ghosts are but a trace of the pain inflicted by those who were...
