...Tala Hughes Mrs. Martin DC English Comp. 111 20 November 2015 “Ground Zero” Paragraph Summaries 1. Berne is visiting Manhattan’s financial district for the first time to give respect to the tragedy that took place there at the World Trade Center. 2. There were people from all over the world and of all ages there to visit the site. 3. Although it may seem like you are looking at nothing, you are really looking at the absence of what used to be. 4. To a tourist, the site simply looks like a construction site. 5. Looking at the site even gives off the vibe that construction gives, of hope and curiosity. 6. Then your eyes adjust to the most striking part about the scene: the light. 7. Berne compares ground zero to a bowl of light, empty yet vast. What is missing becomes clearer as a watery glow from the light reflecting off the Hudson River covers everything. 8. Suddenly, she starts to see the tragedy, including the firefighters and the boarded windows. 9. Suddenly, the cemetery is visible, along with all of the personal belongings and headstones. 10. It takes time to see the tragedy and make sense of it all. 11. An old man near her is trying to explain to her son how he saw the site before the towers were even built. 12. It is clear many people are dissatisfied with being able to express only vague expressions. 13. Most of the people were picturing what they saw in the media, with the towers with black smoke around them...

...Thesis Statement: Strategic Management is Vital in Solving Resource-based Conflict Introduction Conflict, and conflict management are inherent and unavoidable elements of strategic management. Due to the involvement of the various stakeholders in both the internal and extern al environments who have differing perspectives as well as agendas in the multiple stages in strategic management process, and overall, the organization’s operations, conflict will manifest itself. In some scenarios conflict presents itself as a part of the methods and processes applied to develop strategic outcomes such as positioning strategies, or as outcomes stemming from strategic decisions made by management, and finally, in their implementation. In resource-based conflict, particularly those that involve rare earth elements such as the conflict that evolves around the discovery of oil in Turkana by Tullow Oil, it is important to understand the background of the conflict from a strategic management perspective. The Resource Based View (RBV) proffers that the competitive advantage of a firm or organization is largely dependent on the application of the bundle resources at its disposal. In mentioning competition, which is a subset of conflict, this sets the pace for making sense of why there is always a sense of conflict around resources. The Resource Based View provides a set of criteria for the evaluation of these resources, known as the “VRIN”...

The justification for this rating follows: a) Higher than average profitability of the industry – related to the need to provide adequate returns on large capital investments b) Threat of competitors is about on the same level as other industries – based on multiple suppliers and buyers and the prevalence of homogenous products (nonbranded) c) Inherent volatility in earnings and underlying cash flows – due to volatile pricing of commodity products and responsiveness to economic cycles d) Above average and increasing prospect of industry regulation e) Above average and uncertain political risk – industry players have to pursue operations where mineral resources are found and in many cases this would include politically unstable regions f) Below average technology risks – due to the basic nature of the materials produced and licensing production technologies and methods among players in the industry 2 The BBB rating is applicable only to industry players that do not have major weaknesses in terms of scale, diversification, cost competitiveness, and operating and financial track record. Major players in mining industry are all strong in these considerations. Consequently, individual companies might have a rating above the BBB industry average rating.

...A Handbook on Thesis Writing 1 BASICS OF THESIS WRITING Thesis Writing is a requirement for graduating students particularly those who opted for Plan A (Thesis) instead of a comprehensive examination. This book focuses on the mechanics on how to develop a thesis and is made simple for easy understanding of the processes. Many students are confronted with tasks that demand good writing skills. They need guidance on how to go about the complex job of writing a thesis or dissertation. This book will therefore serve as a guide. Thesis Writing is subsumed under Technical Writing. All professional fields require technical documents that help readers perform tasks and understand specific tasks. As mentioned by some authors, thesis is classified under technical writing as it provides vital information to specific readers. Technical Writing refers to the provision of specific information to clearly identified readers who will use the information for a specific purpose. KEY FEATURES OF TECHNICAL WRITING Three Elements of Technical Writing. The elements are reader, purpose and writing situation. The reader seeks information for a specific purpose. The purpose is to design a document that will serve the reader's need and help the reader understand the information. The writing situation consist of both reader and purpose, as well as such factors such as the sponsoring organization's size, budget, ethics, deadlines, policies, competition and priorities. Three General Stages of Technical...

...close to 2 MHz. The channels soon became overcrowded. In 1940, new frequencies between 30 and 40 MHz were made available. Increasing the available channels encouraged a substantial buildup of police systems. Shortly thereafter other users found a need for this form of communication. Private individuals, companies and public agencies purchased and operated their own mobile units. In 1945, first public mobile telephone system in the U.S. was inaugurated in St. Louis, Missouri with three channels at 150 MHz. Six channels spaced 60 kHz apart were allocated for this service by the FCC, but the mobile equipment was not sophisticated enough to prevent interference. In 1947, a Public mobile system using frequencies in the 35 to 44 MHz band began operations along the highway between New York and Boston. These frequencies were thought to carry greater distances however a problem with skip-distance propagation carried interfering conversations for long distances....

Professor in Financial Mathematichs, Reykjavík University, Iceland Examiner: Dr. Rögnvaldur Sæmundsson Associate Professor, Reyjavík University, Iceland. ii Abstract The way companies value their investment opportunities has changed in recent years. With changing market conditions companies are constantly confronted with investment decisions that are increasingly uncertain. Known investment analysis such as net present value and decision tree analysis increasingly undervalue investment opportunities as they lack the flexibility and ability to modify projects when new information is available. A method based on financial option valuation has become the basis for a new technique to value high risk investment opportunities. It is based on valuation in the risk-neutral world and therefore eliminates investors’ attitude to risk. Real option analysis can capture the value of this increased flexibility, which previous methods have not been able to, such as the option to defer, abandon...
