...some coasts are under threat from economic development (10 Marks) Some coasts such as Southampton could be considered under threat from economic development due to the fact it is extremely reliant on nearby industries, but has an extent biodiverse environment. Southampton is known to have advantages for industry as it is sheltered from storms in the English Channel, deep water for large ships and lots of flat land for development. However there is a large amount of pressure on Southampton, the majority of the pressure being based around Southampton’s water; along its western edge is a large area of salt marsh where industrial development has taken place for Fawleys oil refinery. The oil refinery is the largest in the UK, located on the Solent because it is convenient for tankers travelling to and from Europe. Although this is a large advantage for Southampton, the oil refinery causes problems and potentially causes threat to the coast as it damages it in many ways; mainly from oil spills. Oil spills, such as the one that occurred in October 1989, suffocate the surrounding environment by poisoning the food chain, blocking sunlight from sea vegetation and ruing the natural habitat. Moreover, as a secondary affect, it was reported that cleaning the spill can actually cause further damage to the environment. Metal pollution is a problem in Southampton water also. The paints that are used to stop organisms such as barnacles attaching themselves to the underside of boats contain...

Tactlessly, the employee introduced a chemical on one of the machines, which instigated 120,000 bottles of the spring water. In line to our new ad operation that highlights the cleanliness of our natural spring water, this malevolent performance has triggered countless destruction and foremost hindrance for our business. I trust that it is fairly essential to notify the community about this event, community consciousness to recollection the soiled jugs of water will be fairly expensive and influence transport suspicion in the direction of our business. Conversely, we need to set up a direct conference to mature a new approach that will resolve assistance the business uphold an optimistic duplicate in the judgment of the community and our faithful consumers. The business must create the choice to do an instant evoke of the dirty bottles of natural spring water. Equally well as doing a recollection, the business should sort the result of eliminating the operative that disrupted the business produce and status. It resolves likewise to be imperious that the community be relieved that the business is remorseful and that the upcoming of the business is relentlessly stirring ahead.

...Dear friend I predict you maybe kind of shocked or amazed to be hearing from me after such a long while. I hope you're keeping fine and everything's swell in Salinas. I guess you may have of heard I got married, this guy named Curley. He's the son of a big rancher and we live out at the ranch. We grow barley mostly out here. All the workers live in the bunkhouse, but me and Curley live in a big two by four house. Curley's fixing to decorate it up real nice; as soon as he's done I was thinking you could visit and stay a while? It's mighty different out here to Salinas, not many folks to talk to. There's just me, Curley, his old man, and the hired hands; they're drifters, mainly here in spring and harvest time. Oh and there's this uppity nigger of course, kept in the stable, so I don't talk to him. I don't talk to no fat lipped nigger! Anyways the boys start work early morning and finish late afternoon, they all go back to the bunkhouse and most times play cards. Sometimes Curley and all the boys have a horseshoe tournament going on, I don't like it when that happens cause I'm all on my own in the house or out there, but it is one of the few times Curley lets me go outside. Other times he tries to keep me in the house. He gets mighty jealous even though I never give him cause to...

...Company has operated a plant in Michigan, which manage by Brendan O’Rourke. Currently, they are producing Ice Mountain bottled-water. To add to this, Nestle wants to increase the amount of water pump so that they can create a bigger market of bottled-water. However, Michigan Citizens for Water Conservation (MCWC), a Mecosta local resident group, worry that the over pumping groundwater will have an effect towards the environment, and consequently, they wanted to stop the Ice Mountain bottled-water plant. Therefore, the main issues for Nestle can be summarized as listed below: • The Nestle company pumps groundwater, but the ownership of groundwater is controversial. However, there were many arguments regarding Nestle pumping the water from the spring, yet a MCWC’s (Michigan Citizens for Water Conservation) lawyer – Jim Olson agree and explain it under the doctrine of reasonable use which states” the owners of a stream can use its water as long as it’s in connection with their land”. In addition, David K. Ladd argues that the water that was put in the product is no longer water; it is considered a food and is regulated by the Food and Drug Administration. • In 2003, Nestle was ordered by Michigan state court judge – Lawrence Root to turn off the pumps due to Michigan climate began to change. In addition, a year after Jennifer M. Granholm (the new governor for Michigan, who stopped the expansion of new bottled-water plants) proposed the Water Legacy Act (to protect all state’s groundwater)...

...Ballet 2 In the video clip, the ballerina performs a variation as the spring fairy in Cinderella. This is a allegro piece with springy and quick steps. The dancer executes each movement with incredible grace and control. She really captivates her audience and draws them in emotionally. She incorporates ballet incredible technique that is strong but at the same time she makes it look effortless. Her musicality adds to the drama of the piece and shows her true talent. Her port a bras are perfect, the way that they move with each step and add to the complexity of this variation. The port a bras also add to the lines of her body and I like how her hands, in a way, are presenting her feet.. Her legs reach and point while she's in the air in such a graceful way. She also has a great sense of her center, which helps her in her turns and jumps while she moves in a circle. The piece also goes from fast movements to slow and even incorporates isolated movements, which allows time to show cases her talent. She performs one arabesque position into another with out coming off point, then does it again without taking a molecule of sharpness off of her skill level. Overall I think that the ballerina's performance in this piece was incredible. Its inspiring to watch, for someone like me who its trying gain more knowledge and skill in ballet and dance in general. She performs with such ease and grace that really just adds to the beauty of her talent and make it even more awe inspiring...

...of grace; With prudent hand imparts them to the human race. For her a mortal-man will gladly part With all he has; will give his calm repose; For her are born all science and all art, That brows of men with laurel fair enclose. As from the towering mountain's lofty heart The purest current of the streamlet flows, So education without stint or measure gives Security and peace to lands in which she lives. Where Education reigns on lofty seat Youth blossoms forth with vigor and agility; He error subjugates with solid feet, And is exalted by conceptions of nobility. She breaks the neck of vice and its deceit; Black crime turns pale at Her hostility; The barbarous nations She knows how to tame, From savages creates heroic fame. And as the spring doth sustenance bestow On all the plants, on bushes in the mead, Its placid plenty goes to overflow And endlessly with lavish love to feed The banks by which it wanders, gliding slow, Supplying beauteous nature's every need; So he who prudent Education doth procure The towering heights of honor will secure. From out his lips the water, crystal pure, Of perfect virtue shall not cease to go. With careful doctrines of his faith made sure, The powers of evil he will overthrow, Like foaming waves that never long endure, But perish on the shore at every blow; And from his good example other men shall learn Their upward steps toward the heavenly paths to turn. Within the breast of wretched humankind She lights the living flame of goodness bright;...

...David Romer's Rules for Making It Through Graduate School and Finishing Your Dissertation "Out in Five" Source: Brad De Long's Website Don't clutter up your life with other activities; just write. Don't carry out a thorough and comprehensive search of the literature; just write. Don't attempt to make sure that every page you write shows the full extent of your professional skills; just write. Don't write a well-organized, well-integrated, unified dissertation; just write. Don't think profound thoughts that shake the intellectual foundations of the discipline; just write. If you don't have a paper started by the spring of your third year, be alarmed. If you don't have a paper largely drafted by the fall of your fourth year, panic. Have three new ideas a week while you are getting started. Don't try to game the profession, work on what interests you. Good papers in economics have three characteristics: o A viewpoint. o A lever. o A result. Utpal Bhattacharya’s Views on What Constitutes a Good Paper in Financial Economics For me, a good paper in financial economics is really an essay that exposits an opinion that is substantiated with evidence. I look for five things: 1) The Research Question. Is it interesting and important? New question? Old question with no previous clear answers? Whether the research question is interesting and important is determined with respect to the literature (more objective judgment) and with respect to economic ...

...Nico deveber Professor Gabrielle Houle DRST 2617 10 October 2014 Springtime by María Irene Fornés is a play that follows the lives of Rainbow and Greta, two lovers living in a small city in 1958. Springtime brings up many issues on love, power, and desperation; especially in regards to poverty and sexism. Through a close reading of the text, it will become clear that this play requires its audience to understand how poverty and sexism intersect in regards to oppression and privilege in society. Poverty is a clear topic in Springtime, it is first presented in the second scene wherein Greta is ill, and Rainbow is forced to steal in order to afford her treatments: “I must do it. You’re ill and we must take care of you.” (83). In this scene Greta begs Rainbow not to do something that could endanger her, and Rainbow insists that she must to be able to afford her treatments. This is the first of many scenes in which the issue of poverty is presented to the audience. In another scene, Greta tries to get Rainbow to throw away the watch she has stolen, and again Rainbow cannot oblige because, “We need the money. For you. To make you well.” (83). Rainbow and Greta are struck with a terrifying reality in which they must choose between Greta’s health, with the cost of sin (and real-world consequences, as displayed through later scenes) and letting Greta fall ill. Rainbow is driven to blackmail and prostitution, taking nude photos with men in desperation to pay for Greta’s treatments. While...

...1. First of all, Americans and Indians use different language. Because of this, sometimes Coca-cola might make some mistakes or Indians might misunderstand what Coca-Cola wants to convey to them. In addition, unlike Americans, most of Indians are poor; water might the only beverage which they can drink. Therefore, they don’t care Coca-Cola improve the quality of the coke bottle or not. They only care their water. Finally, there are different ways and styles of communication in each country. Americans’ communication styles are more direct. However, Indians are conservative and indirect. 2. First, Coca-Cola should apologize for the destroying of underground water in India, and then do some compensate for the villagers, such as spring water or other marketing strategies in that area like PepsiCo did. Secondly, find ways to solve the problem because Coca-Cola still needs the market in India. Promise not to destroy environment anymore. It is very important to MNCs to built good reputation. 3. Firstly, Coca-Cola should change its style of advertisement to fit the Indian culture. Furthermore, the package can add some Indian cultural factors to show Coca-Cola pays more attention on Indian market. 4. First, Coca-cola and PepsiCo can offer a low price to the market of developing countries and conduct some activities during these countries’ traditional festivals. These strategies can show how willing they are to attend the market. Additionally, they can set...

...Title: How different springs behave under the influence of same mass depending on the spring constant (k) and connection types (parallel or series)? Summary: This experiment will be carried out to investigate spring constants of different springs by measuring the length of springs under the influence of same mass and different masses, and observe how overall spring constant changes depending on connection types of springs by measuring amount of extension when springs are connected in series and parallel. Different springs with different constant, different masses, weighing machine and a measuring ruler will be used. Research: The course textbook and different textbooks (S.Beichner, Fizik1, Ankara: Palme Yayınevi, 2002.), some laboratory experiments, which retrieved from the Internet, some lectures and videos comprise sources for the theoretical analysis of the experiment. -Prof. Walter Lewin (1999), Hooke's Law, Simple Harmonic Oscillator (online) (http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/physics/8-01-physics-i-classical-mechanics-fall-1999/video-lectures/lecture-10), -Combination of springs (online) (http://engineeronadisk.com/V2/book_modelling/engineeronadisk-10.html) -Sal Khan (2008), Intro to springs and Hooke's Law (online) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZzwuHS9ldbY) -Forces and elasticity (online) (http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/science/add_aqa/forces/forceselasticityrev2.shtml) -Deformation of materials (online) (http://qatemplates.everythingscience.co.z...

...The winter seemed boundless being that it was an exceptionally cold one. Endless weeks of temperatures well below zero degrees made time drag. It seemed like spring would never come…nevertheless June. My wife was offered one of those ‘can’t say no to’ deals in Houston Texas and after much deliberation and debating, we felt that the better thing to do would be for me to stay behind and get the kids through the rest of the school year. It wasn’t until that first cold drop of water desperately pulling itself away from the roof falls down the back of my neck that I knew time had passed and the spring had arrived. Temperatures finally gave way to the inevitability of spring life. I smiled and knew we would make it…it would be ok and soon enough the kids would see their mother and I my wife. The smell of damp pine needles and dark earth pierced my nose as I stood on the porch looking out at the streets in the evening. The spring rains carried on what seemed like endlessly and day and night blended into each other - the water dripping from the eaves and rain tapping at the windowpanes. I could hear that branch scratching at my house at night as the winds that accompanied the spring rain bent the old birch tree at whim. My time to leave was nearing and I filled with excitement and anxiety. The frantic packing began. I brought home copious amounts of boxes…large ones, medium ones, small, tall, wardrobe and television ones. I brought home dish packing kits and endless feet...

...The question that was being looked into is “what is the quality of the U-High Creek based on invertebrates found in the water?” The number and types of invertebrates found in the water helped us to determine the water quality of the U-High Creek. This being said, data was collected by collecting aquatic invertebrates in the creek and identifying the number and types of invertebrates found. The original prediction was the water quality of the U-High Creek is fair. The water quality of the creek was actually excellent, thus the original prediction was rejected. Overall, there came out to be 19 different types of invertebrates and 460 in total. Since the number and types of invertebrates found in the samples are so high, the water quality has to be excellent for each of the groups to survive and thrive. Out of the 19 different types of invertebrates, 7 of them were pollution sensitive. This means about 36% of the invertebrates from our samples were pollution sensitive. If the water quality was poor or fair, the organisms in the pollution sensitive group wouldn’t be able to survive. At the creek, all the grass was green and there were multiple different types of weeds and grasses growing around the creek. All of the plants appeared to be alive. Also there was a very little amount of trash and litter in and around the water. Plants need clean water to be able to spread and grow. Some of the plants would die off if the water was polluted. In addition, the water quality wouldn’t have...
