...Richard Wood is one such skeptic, claiming that excessively playing videogames ought not to be compared to gambling since they are not enough alike (“Concept of Videogame ‘Addiction’” 170). His evidence for this is case studies in which he portrays familial strain and stress put on the gamer. This, he believes, leads many gamers to diagnose themselves as addicted when they may not be (176). Wood claims that clinicians and researchers should be cautious when claiming anyone is addicted because it may lead to misunderstandings and an undue amount of concern on the part of the family (176). Wood also believes those who are classified as “addicted” may be playing games excessively because they have underlying problems or poor time management skills (177). Wood does concede that some people play video games excessively is not in dispute, but defining the point at which the behaviour becomes problematic is far from clear. There is little doubt that some people play games too frequently and for longer periods than is good for them physically, socially, and/or psychologically” (172). Mark Griffiths refutes Wood’s position, stating that those who have underlying problems but are addicted to a substance have no less of an addiction because...

The study provides a brief overview of the problems which are creating hindrance for furniture exporters. Also, it provides some suggestions and recommendations to the government and furniture exporters through which they can improve their performance of exports. The study concludes the factors both exogenous and endogenous, which prove to be creating obstacles in the export of furniture.

The wooden furniture industry represents 95% of the total market in the country. Pakistan is heavily dependent on Sheesham (rosewood) for furniture manufacturing. The primary areas of furniture makers in Pakistan are Chiniot, Gujrat, Peshawar, Lahore and Karachi and the furniture exported by Pakistan is usually made by rosewood and metals, however, some products are also made from walnut wood. Pakistan is exporter to about 80 countries, which mainly include USA, Malaysia, Singapore, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.

...What started out as a two man partnership in Cincinnati, Ohio has grown into the world’s largest manufacturer of consumer packaged goods with operations in 80 countries and markets 300 brands in 180 countries around the world. In 1837 William Procter and James Gamble formed Procter & Gamble (P&G) to manufacture and sell candles and soap. Being that Cincinnati was booming from its hog butchering trade the suggestion for the partnership apparently came from their mutual father-in-law, Alexander Norris, who pointed out that Gamble's trade, soap making, and Procter's trade, candle making, both required use of lye, which was made from animal fat and wood ashes. P&G began operations out of a small storeroom with Procter running the store and Gamble ran the manufacturing which consisted of a wooden kettle with a cast iron bottom that was set up behind the shop. In the early years candles where their most important product, but the enterprising partners soon expanded their operations through innovation and acquisitions of other small companies. The first fifty years laid the foundation for the longevity of the company. With their forward looking approach to the business, during a time of financial panic in the U.S. the company continued to prosper as shipments were moving up and down the river and across the country by rail. During the 1850’s the company grew rapidly and moved operations to a bigger factory. During this time the company created its first trademark...

...Printed Versus Digital Books Name: Course: Professor: Date: Introduction Books trace their history to 868 BC when a Chinese writer produced a book named Diamond Sutra. However, printed work never featured predominantly before the development of Gutenberg’s Bible. Before Gutenberg, humans preserved literary work through wood, metal, or stone paintings. Further, people started using paint as a mode of expressing and preserving ideas. As technology advanced, printing burgeoned and the world became filled with books. Today volumes of printed sheets may be found lying everywhere particularly in libraries. Everywhere you go, from private homes to libraries, you will find magazines, hard cover books, newspapers, journals, religious books, and many other forms of printed material carefully arranged waiting for readers. However, over the recent past, people have left the colorfully printed media for digitally downloaded and installed media made available by technological gadgets.

These technological tools can handle simple digitized forms of books as well as enhanced books.
