In the research I have shown that the economic growth of the N-11 countries is likely to increase on a large scale in the years to come. Most of the major countries of the world are focusing on investing in BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, China) but they are least concerned in investing with the N-11. In my research i have shown that investing in N-11 can prove out to be very profitable. I have particularly focused the trade and investment relationship between Canada and one of the Next Eleven countries that is Vietnam. In my research you can see the raw and products that Canada is exporting to Vietnam. The GDP of Vietnam is increasing rapidly year by year. Canada export business with Vietnam is rising up as the time is passing by. Canada is exporting the products that Vietnam needs. I have attached my research project paper along with this cover letter. I hope that my project will provide some value and knowledge about the subject though it being my first research project. Thanking You Yours sincerely Canada...

...However, recent DNA evidence investigated by Deirdre Enright, the head of the Innocence Project showed that there is an alternate suspect in the murder. The DNA evidence found at the crime scene in 1999 was taken but was never tested. I found this very suspicious because I did not understand why the state would choose to believe a person’s story over hard evidence from the scene. Upon analysis, the swab tests and hairs found on Hae’s body at the crime scene did not match Adnan nor Hae. Enright linked the evidence to trademarks of another serial killer named Ronald Lee Moore, who was released from jail a few days before Hae’s disappearance. In an interview by TIME, she explained that it appeared that Hae was raped before being murdered, which would explain the presence of a condom at the crime scene (Dockterman, “The Innocence Project Tells Serial Fans What Might Happen Next). She also explained that she finds it strange that Jay is still afraid because it seems that there are other people who may have threatened him. This finally confirmed that Adnan was innocent because anyone who confirmed his presence at the crime should not...

...Anthony Pulicicchio Mr. Cook ENG4U Tuesday, January 12th, 2016 Pi and his Religious Survival Throughout many novels such as, The Lord of the Flies, The Road, and Then We Were None, there were many instances where God and the values of religion came into play, as the characters had to subdue their loneliness. Many of these novels had characters whom survived solely on the life skills they were taught as a kid, or they were given assistance from God. This ideology of God relates to the novel The Life of Pi. The novel incorporates and explains the central theme of the nature of faith, and how faith is one. This is shown as the novel’s protagonist, Piscine ‘Pi’ Patel, a character that dedicates himself and practices many different types of religions such as Islam, Christianity, and Hinduism. Yann Martel makes a clear indication on how faith brings a person together and how faith and religion brought Pi to the person he is today. These 3 religions play an important role in Pi’s life as Pi refers to God many times throughout his devastating journey on the lifeboat. The novel, The Life of Pi, by Yann Martel offers and gives the reader the most accurate definition of religion, which is incorporated by simply and basically having faith. At the beginning of the novel Francis Adirubasamy states that Pi’s story of survival is “…a story that will make you believe in God” (Martel. 21). This story makes you believe the ideology of religion and notion of God due to the fact that Pi’s devotion...

Learners will then be able to apply this understanding and make recommendations to improve the nutritional health of an individual. Unit introduction This unit builds on learner understanding of the principles introduced in Unit 5: Fundamentals of Anatomy and Physiology for Health and Social Care.

It is therefore important that people working in the health and social care sectors, or those who are responsible for the wellbeing of others, have a good understanding of nutrition and diet. This unit gives learners an understanding of nutrition from a science-based perspective and of the role that food plays in social contexts. The unit may also provide useful underpinning knowledge for the study of food hygiene and practical culinary skills. Learners will explore concepts of nutrition using the language of nutritional science. Different aspects of nutritional health will be defined and routine ways of measuring this explored. Other aspects of nutritional data will involve describing...

...and quality of developed computer software. With that in mind, testing can never completely establish the correctness of computer software. [pic]There are many approaches to software testing, but effective testing of complex products is essentially a process of investigation, not merely a matter of creating and following rote procedure. One definition of testing is "the process of questioning a product in order to evaluate it", where the "questions" are things the tester tries to do with the product, and the product answers with its behavior in reaction to the probing of the tester. Although most of the intellectual processes of testing are nearly identical to that of review or inspection, the word testing is connoted to mean the dynamic analysis of the product—putting the product through its paces. The quality of the application can and normally does vary widely from system to system but some of the common quality attributes include reliability, stability, portability, maintainability and usability. Refer to the ISO standard ISO 9126 for a more complete list of attributes and criteria. Testing helps is Verifying and Validating if the Software is working as it is intended to be working. Thins involves using Static and Dynamic methodologies to Test the application. Because of the fallibility of its human designers and its own abstract, complex nature, software development must be accompanied by quality assurance activities. It is not unusual for developers to spend 40% of the...

...1 6 CHAPTER Advertising, Publicity, and Sales Promotion In the summer of 1965, 17-year-old Fred DeLuca was trying to figure out how to pay for college. A family friend suggested that Fred open a sandwich shop—and then the friend invested $1,000 to help get it started. Within a month, they opened their first sandwich shop. From that humble start grew the Subway franchise chain with more than 33,000 outlets in 91 countries. Targeted advertising, timely publicity, and sales promotion have been important to Subway’s growth. For more than 10 years, memorable Subway ads featured Jared Fogle, a college student who was overweight but lost 245 pounds by only eating Subway’s low-fat sandwiches like the “Veggie Delite.” Jared says it was a fluke that he ended up in Subway’s ads. After all, he was recruited to do the ads because of good publicity that Subway got after national media picked up a story that Jared’s friend wrote about him in a college newspaper. Subway’s strategy at that time focused on its line of seven different sandwiches with under 6 grams of fat. The objective was to set Subway fare apart from other fast food, position it to appeal to health-conscious eaters, and spark new sales growth. Jared already knew he liked Subway sandwiches, but the “7 under 6” promotion inspired him to incorporate them into his diet. As soon as Jared’s ads began to run, word of his inspiring story spread and consumer awareness of Subway and its healthy fare increased. It’s always hard to...

...2007 Deloitte Tax Case Study Competition Regional Case Study This is the story of the Vitalité health and fitness phenomenon created by three American heroes. You’ve worked out in their gyms, bought their nutrition books, and devoured their frozen entrees – and you’ve seen them a hundred times on The Ophira Show! You even spent months wearing their “Cal Pal” to find out how many calories you burned. Here’s the story of how they rocketed to the top and the fallout of their success. Macy. When she was in her mid-20s, Macy Vitale was the picture of confidence and, in keeping with her name, Vitality, with a capital V! She graduated from college with a degree in journalism, and, by the time she was 32, her gorgeous face, perky attitude, and deep understanding of current affairs landed her the position of anchor for the Channel 8 evening news. Macy never took anything too seriously. She was such a natural on camera that it couldn’t count as “work.” Her carefree attitude ended one morning when she overheard the director tell the camera man to shoot Macy only when she was seated behind the desk. He whispered, “She’s starting to look a bit wide in the hips.” As soon as they were off the air Macy, picked up the phone and called Mark Newcomb from “Mad Mark’s Gym.” Mark. Mark isn’t your typical trainer. He is serious! He served in the Special Forces in Kuwait in the early 90s, has Masters Degrees in Health Sciences and Nutrition, and a Ph.D. in Kinesiology and Physiology. He has spent the...
