...Essay #3 – “1919” & “The Red Convertible” Comparison and Contrast There are many similarities between the short stories “1919” and “The Red Convertible”, mainly relating to the two main characters Shadrack and Henry. Both of the stories focus on the return of the two main characters coming home from war. Shadrack from WWI and Henry from the Vietnam War. Both of these wars were extremely brutal, WWI having over 100,000 US casualties and the Vietnam War having just over 58,000 US casualties. These astonishing amount of casualties allow us to see the reasoning behind the problems that each main character finds themselves with in their respective stories. Both Shadrack and Henry suffer from what would nowadays be diagnosed as post-traumatic stress disorder or PTSD. PTSD is an anxiety disorder which is caused by very stressful, frightening or distressing events and is very commonly diagnosed to war veterans. Shadrack’s PTSD was the result of seeing one of his fellow comrades shot in the face whilst stood next to him and Henry’s PTSD was the result of being captured by Vietnamese soldiers and held captive for 6 months. You can see that both Shadrack and Henry are severely affected by the events that they experienced at war, both of their personalities and behavior are clearly changed. Another similarity between the two stories is that both Shadrack and Henry are ethnic minority soldiers, Shadrack being of black ethnicity and Henry Native American. Although during the time period...

...Table of Contents Abstract 3 Return on Assets Analysis 3 Return on Common Equity Analysis ….11 Ratio Analysis 16 ORRF’s management issue 26 Conclusion 30 Annex 31 Reference 34 Abstract In this paper, we are engaged in deepening our analysis on the Orrstown financial services Inc. (ORRF). First, we analyze the ORRF’s profitability by using two major indicators; the rate of return on assets (ROA) and the rate of return on common share holder’s equity (ROCE). ORRF’s ROA is compared with its industry ROA. Also, to deepen our understanding about the difference and the changes over time, we disaggregate ROA into the profit margin and the total asset turnover. Then, we evaluate ORRF’s ROA from three elements; economic and strategic analysis, profit margin analysis and asset turnover analysis. Finally, we calculate ORRF’s ROCE and evaluate its performance. Also, we examine ORRF’s capital strength by using several indicators, including Tier 1 capital ratio, Tier 2 capital ratio and Total capital ratio. Second, to perform ratio analysis on ORRF, we scrutinize our CAMELS (Capital adequacy, Asset quality, Management, Efficiency, Liquidity and Sensitivity) analysis which we reported on our first paper. We compare a lot of ratios representing ORRF’s CAMELS with those of ORRF’s peer group. Due to data availability, we continue to use UBPR report prepared by the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council. Therefore, strictly speaking, we actually compare Orrstown bank...

...3673 THE ‘UNCANNY’ (1919) Freud - Complete Works. Ivan Smith 2000. All Rights Reserved. 3675 THE ‘UNCANNY’ I It is only rarely that a psycho-analyst feels impelled to investigate the subject of aesthetics, even when aesthetics is understood to mean not merely the theory of beauty but the theory of the qualities of feeling. He works in other strata of mental life and has little to do with the subdued emotional impulses which, inhibited in their aims and dependent on a host of concurrent factors, usually furnish the material for the study of aesthetics. But it does occasionally happen that he has to interest himself in some particular province of that subject; and this province usually proves to be a rather remote one, and one which has been neglected in the specialist literature of aesthetics. The subject of the ‘uncanny’ is a province of this kind. It is undoubtedly related to what is frightening - to what arouses dread and horror; equally certainly, too, the word is not always used in a clearly definable sense, so that it tends to coincide with what excites fear in general. Yet we may expect that a special core of feeling is present which justifies the use of a special conceptual term. One is curious to know what this common core is which allows us to distinguish as ‘uncanny’ certain things which lie within the field of what is frightening. As good as nothing is to be found upon this subject in comprehensive treatises on aesthetics, which in general prefer to concern...

The persistence in many advanced countries of large fiscal deficits and the prospect of high public debt/GDP ratios for many years is likely, at some point, to create policy dilemmas not only for central banks but also for public debt managers. Some countries have already had to cope with higher...

...Learning with Cases INTRODUCTION The case study method of teaching used in management education is quite different from most of the methods of teaching used at the school and undergraduate course levels. Unlike traditional lecture-based teaching where student participation in the classroom is minimal, the case method is an active learning method, which requires participation and involvement from the student in the classroom. For students who have been exposed only to the traditional teaching methods, this calls for a major change in their approach to learning. This introduction is intended to provide students with some basic information about the case method, and guidelines about what they must do to gain the maximum benefit from the method. We begin by taking a brief look at what case studies are, and how they are used in the classroom. Then we discuss what the student needs to do to prepare for a class, and what she can expect during the case discussion. We also explain how student performance is evaluated in a case study based course. Finally, we describe the benefits a student of management can expect to gain through the use of the case method. WHAT IS A CASE STUDY? There is no universally accepted definition for a case study, and the case method means different things to different people. Consequently, all case studies are not structured similarly, and variations abound in terms of style, structure and approach. Case material ranges from small caselets (a few paragraphs...

...INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS OPERATIONS Need for International Business International Business is important and necessary because economic isolationism is today impossible. Failure to become part of the global market assures a country of declining economic influence and deteriorating standard of living for its citizens. Successful participation in international business promises improved quality of life and a better society leading to a more peaceful world. Most people are likely, on individual levels, to become involved with international business corporations during their careers. Manufacturing companies, and also service companies like banks, consulting firms or insurance are going global. In an era of open borders, niche marketing, instant communications and free ways of reaching millions of people, huge opportunity emerges for individuals to enter the international business arena. International business offers companies new markets. Since the mid-20th century, the growth of international trade and investment has been substantially larger than the growth of domestic economies. The combination of domestic and international business presents more opportunities for expansion, growth and income than domestic business alone. International business generates the flow of ideas, services and capital across the world. International business also offers consumers new options. It enables the acquisition of a wider variety of products, in terms of both quality and quantity and at reduced...
