...Me and my job as shipfitter My name is Lasse Mosebo I am 19 years old. I live in vindeby and have done so my whole life. I live together with my mum Gitte, my dad Bjarne and my little brother Mathias. But I just got my own apartment in Svendborg and I’m planning to move in next month. Almost every member from my father side of the family have been working with ships, My dad also works with ships and so did almost every member from his side of the family have been working with ships as well. When I was a kid he used to take me along to work and I found it very interesting. So like my dad working with ships and its engines has always been what i wanted to do for a living. Also I feel like it’s a tradition I have to carry out, since my little brother don’t like to get his hands dirty like I do. While he sits on the computer in his spare time I like to spend my spare time working on my boat and its engine. Whenever my friends have trouble with their car or scooter its me they call for help because they don’t know what to do and they know i always want to help them out. I’ve always knew what I wanted to do for a living but after 9th grade I took a 10th grade, not because I needed it but because I could take my education as shipfitter while I took my 10th grade. So it was a win win situation. Then one of my teachers found a internship at Svendborg Motorværksted for me. I was going to be working there for 2 weeks. When my internship was over the boss of Svendborg Motorværksted...

...Darwin's Theory Of Evolution - A Theory in Crisis You are here: Science >> Darwin's Theory Of Evolution Darwin's Theory of Evolution - The Premise Darwin's Theory of Evolution is the widely held notion that all life is related and has descended from a common ancestor: the birds and the bananas, the fishes and the flowers -- all related. Darwin's general theory presumes the development of life from non-life and stresses a purely naturalistic (undirected) "descent with modification". That is, complex creatures evolve from more simplistic ancestors naturally over time. In a nutshell, as random genetic mutations occur within an organism's genetic code, the beneficial mutations are preserved because they aid survival -- a process known as "natural selection." These beneficial mutations are passed on to the next generation. Over time, beneficial mutations accumulate and the result is an entirely different organism (not just a variation of the original, but an entirely different creature). Darwin's Theory of Evolution - Natural Selection While Darwin's Theory of Evolution is a relatively young archetype, the evolutionary worldview itself is as old as antiquity. Ancient Greek philosophers such as Anaximander postulated the development of life from non-life and the evolutionary descent of man from animal. Charles Darwin simply brought something new to the old philosophy -- a plausible mechanism called "natural selection." Natural selection acts to preserve...

...the Mississippi Valley and how Mississippi and Arkansas relate to it. It also discusses fault lines, and the earthquakes around the Mississippi and Arkansas regions. In the first book that I read, it started off reading the first chapter when it discusses the basics of the central Mississippi River Valley starting with the Precambrian time scale. During this period, North America was formed by different continents that were formed from the many tectonic plates over time. Most of the Precambrian rocks in the Mississippi Valley are metamorphic rocks. Before any of this, there was only one gigantic piece of land called Pangea. At that time all of the world’s continents were together, and over time the plates slowly shifted away from each other and eventually forming the different continents of what we know today. The only set back of the Precambrian time is that the rocks that were formed then now are buried deep within the soil and ground. It is very for geologist to study these rocks. The earth’s crust beneath the Mississippi Valley has a thickness of about 42 km. A later chapter that was very interesting was the chapter that discussed how Pangea ripped apart. When Pangea was tearing apart over time, it formed to what is to be called the Gulf of Mexico. There the water of the Mississippi River flows from as far as southern Canada, all the way into the Gulf of Mexico. Many types of sediment rocks poured into the Gulf of Mexico from many important streams that stretched all...

...Assignment Question 1 “The mere discovery of a problem is not sufficient to assure that the Financial Accounting Standards Board will undertake its solution … There must be a suitably high likelihood that the Board can resolve the issues in a manner that will be acceptable to the constituency—without some prior sense of the likelihood that the Board members will be able to reach a consensus, it is generally not advisable to undertake a formal project”. Introduction: The above quotation has been taken from the book of Professor Miller which was published in 1986. Professor says that identifying a problem in the audit process is no guarantee that a solution will be found to the problem. The problem that is referred to in the above quotation is the problems that emerge during an audit that is performed in a business entity. What professor Miller tries to explain is that even if the issue is placed in front of the Financial Accounting Standards Board there is no surety that the Board will take action or responsibility in finding a solution to the problem. When a problem is presented to the Financial Accounting Standards Board there must be reason to believe that the Board members will be able to understand the problem collectively and create a solution to the problem by harmony, if however the chances are not there then an individual or an audit firm should not take up a project formally to try and find resolution though the Financial Accounting Standards Board...

...Obedience to appropriate orders: without question that you need to do whatever it is rather it be mop the floor, move that truck, go get this or go do that. When it comes down to it what it means is with no question ask you follow any and all lawful order quickly and without question. This is the very first thing that we learn in Boot Camp. But obedience to orders is not just to what you are told to do, it’s also to the Marine Corps order. Getting a haircut every Sunday, shaving every morning, keeping clean your cammies and boots, making your rack in the morning and things of that nature. We carry these teachings from our Drill Instructors all throughout Marine Combat Training and our MOS school all the way until we hit the fleet. And even then we still follow these implemented set of rules we have drilled in us ever since we have stepped on those yellow foot prints. I have failed on my part, not only as a Marine but also as a NCO. Forgetting to shave in the morning is unacceptable excuse for I have failed to obey MCO p1020.34g: the face will be clean-shaven, except that a mustache may be worn. When worn, the mustache will be neatly trimmed and must be contained within the lines upper lip. The individual length of a mustache hair fully extended must not exceed 1/2 inch. MARADMIN 504/07.

...Demand, Supply and Price Determination Demand Demand is the quantity households are willing and able to purchase over a range of prices over a period of time. [‘Able’ means you must have the money to back up your desire, i.e. ‘effective’ demand.] Quantity demanded is the amount households are willing and able to purchase at a particular price over a period of time. [So Q. D’ed is a particular combination of Quantity & Price, whereas Demand covers all possible combinations.] This distinction is crucial!!! Assumptions:- 1. Specific time period. 2. Ceteris paribus. 3. Consumer rationality. Law of Demand: At higher prices a lower quantity will be demanded than at lower prices, other things being equal (ceteris paribus). This arises due to two separate effects: 1. Income Effect – the effect of a change in price on quantity demanded arising from the consumer becoming better or worse off as a result of the price change. 2. Substitution Effect – the effect of a change in price on quantity demanded arising from the consumer switching to or from alternative (substitute) products. Information on demand is usually presented as a schedule or more commonly a graph. A demand schedule is a table showing the different total quantities of a good that consumers are willing and able to buy at various prices over a given period of time. A demand curve is a graph showing the relationship between the price of a good and the quantity of the good demanded...

INTRODUCTION While the economic benefits of global trade are enormous, the potential for differences in local and national perspectives when developing gateways and corridors are no less significant. Global logistics which connects widely dispersed producers and consumers are increasingly organized through gateways and corridors located in urban regions. These “system(s) of marine, road, rail and air transportation infrastructure of national significance for international commerce” (Canada, 2007) seek out urban locations precisely because of the accessibility and agglomeration advantages they confer. Yet, gateways find themselves in constant tension with the other inhabitants of the city-regions...

...Essay Compare and contrast essays are the other big essay types in academic writing. These essays will follow a specific question and are fairly easy to complete. There are several ways to write this type of essay. The most important thing to remember is structure. Many wonderful essays fall victim to the woes of bad structure, making any ingenuity to fall by the wayside. Go over the rules on how to write a general essay, and then structure your compare/contrast essay in one of the following two formats: 1. Introduction 2. Your introduction — like the five-paragraph-essay, should open generally (with a quotation, anecdote, generalization), and lead into the thesis statement. 3. Topic 1 4. This next portion of your essay (which may consist of one paragraph or several) should cover only the first topic of the comparison and contrast. Compare/Contrast essays take two topics and illustrate how they are similar and dissimilar. Do not mention topic 2 in this first portion. 5. Topic 2 6. This next portion of your essay (which may also consist of one or more paragraphs) should cover the second of the two topics. Do not discuss Topic 1 in this section. Since you have already gone into great detail about it, you may allude to Topic 1 briefly; however, do not analyze Topic 1 in this section. This portion of the paper is to discuss Topic 2 in great detail. 7. Topics 1 and 2 Together 8. Now that you have analyzed both Topic 1 and Topic 2 independently, now it is time to analyze...
