...a term increasingly used in commerce to designate a business model using two products or services, or a combination of products and services. In such combination, one item is provided at no charge while a complementary item is sold at a positive price. Unlike what economists call tying, the free and commercial items are softly connected: the complement is not indispensable. The practice has existed for decades, although it carried different names and forms. The term Freemium was coined by venture capitalist Fred Wilson in 2006 and is gradually becoming a model that businesses identify with. Freemium relies on a free version of a product or service, and by design there are complements that can take various forms . Commercial transactions happen outside of what is given away. The delta between what is free and what is paid is called product differentiation. Freemium is sometimes mistaken with two-sided platforms. In the latter case, a company deals with different groups of customers. Each constitutes a market side that is statically established. There is no transition or conversion from one side to the other. In freemium however, free and paid users may constitute one general group. Each free user can become a paid user, and vice versa. However, we’ll see that even if not a platform, freemium may have similar attributes to two-sided markets. Types of freemium There are four differentiation strategies: by quantity, feature, or distribution. Quantity differentiation is the most...

...Leslie Jordan April 19, 2010 Paper 5 Does Free Will Exist? The idea of free will has always been a very interesting topic for me to discuss, because there really is no wrong answer of if free will exist or not. No one can provide proof of us having free or not unless they can talk with God and we all know that being able to actually talk to God and he actually respond is considered “crazy”. I believe that if you believe you have free will than you have free will. As children were always told that you can do and be whatever you want as long as you believe so I figure the same rule applies to free will. I am discussing the idea of free will with in the character Billy Pilgrim. The Tralfamadorians live with the knowledge of the fourth dimension, they believe that all moments of time are happening and taking place simultaneously. Because the Tralfamadorians believe that all moments of time have already taken place; they also believe their life path has been predetermined and they have no control over it, therefore causing the aliens not to believe in free will and finding it strange that humans do. According to the Tralfamadorians earthlings are the only species that believe they have free will, humans for some reason think of time as a linear progression. Most humans believe they have control over their lives and their destiny. Billy seems to have no control in his life or any free will at all throughout this novel, his free will is constantly being challenged. In one instance...

...“Miley Cyrus Goes Gluten-Free” hit the front page of Yahoo! News in 2011 and there was a sudden frenzy. Within the article she refuted claims of her battling an eating disorder. She instead stated that her noticeable weight loss was all thanks to her going gluten-free for health reasons. "For everyone calling me anorexic I have a gluten and lactose allergy," she wrote. "It's not about weight it's about health. Gluten is crapppp anyway!" The term “gluten-free,” became a trending topic on the Internet and a conversation topic amongst people around the world. More celebrities like Victoria Beckham and Lady GaGa jumped on the bandwagon and influenced the large new health movement. This sparked the gluten-free accommodation option at restaurants...

...the ironic qualities of Sophocles' Oedipus Rex. The play is very ironical in that it entwines the themes of free will as well as predestination. Even though we are sickened by the tragic life of Oedipus and the other characters, we are still able to appreciate the ironic characteristics of the play itself. Indeed, we eventually come to realize that man is free and yet he is also fated. Sophocles’ Oedipus Rex The primary characteristic of Sophocles' Oedipus Rex is that it is an ironic play. The play’s irony grasps the audience in a profound way because of the awareness that occurs regarding everything that is going on. Even though we, as observers, are sickened at the tragic life of Oedipus and the other characters, we are still able to appreciate the ironical characteristics of the play itself. The irony primarily exists in the context of man being free, but at the same time, fated. Without doubt, this play very much reflects the Greek vision which emphasizes the immediacy of experience and the nature of man. We see that man is free and that he has free will. At the same time, man also must reconcile himself to a certain fate. Irony is inherent in this very concept. Indeed, as demonstrated in Oedipus Rex, while there is free will in the human condition, there is also predestination to one’s life. In this play, we see how the main character Oedipus is free to run, but ultimately he cannot run away from himself. Oedipus was once a man of power and wealth who suddenly...

...* To study the motion of free falling objects * To determine the acceleration due to gravity, g. * To derive quantities from the slope and intercept of graphs * To determine if the motion of a falling object changes by varying its mass Theory: The free fall is a known example or the most common example of a uniformly accelerated movement, with an acceleration a = -9.8m/s2 (vertical axis pointing vertically upward). If you choose the vertical axis pointing vertically downward, the acceleration is taken as + 9.8m/s2. The kinematic equations for a rectilinear movement under the acceleration of gravity are the same as any movement with constant acceleration: (1) v = vi - gt velocity as function of time. (2) y - yi = ½(vi + v)t displacement as function of time (3) y - yi = vit - ½gt2 displacement as function of time (4) v2 = vi2 -2g(x - xi) velocity as function of displacement The sub index i denotes initial quantities, g the gravity acceleration and t, the time. But for this type of motion, the displacement of the object as a function of time is described mathematically as: (5) ∆y=Vot + ½gt2 where Vo is the initial velocity of the object. If object if just drop velocity, Equation (5) becomes (6) ) ∆y=½gt2 Methodology Procedure: * A digital balance was used to measure the masses of the small and big steel balls. * A set-up of the free fall sensor was followed on...

...Free Market Name: Institution: Date: Free Market Introduction The pollution levels in China hit an alarming rate in the recent past. Generally, China has been notorious in breaking environmental conservation pacts signed by all nations in the world. Environmental conservationists in Beijing, China have held the issue of environmental pollution. With 80 percent of the world’s most polluted cities being in China, the nation’s population is at a big risk since these people are breathing air that is clinically unsafe. This situation raises several ethical questions. Ethical questions The high levels of pollution in Beijing and other cities in China raise serious ethical questions. The first is whether China is committed to the internationally signed pacts on environmental pollution and regulation of industrial emissions (Beech, 2013). The international community, especially the developed nations, signed a pact in Tokyo, Japan committing themselves to reducing the level of industrial activity. The aim of the pact was to reduce air pollution and global warming. With the events happening with China, the nation’s commitment to the pact is in doubt. Another ethical question is whether Beijing and China in general are concerned about the welfare of the city residents. The air pollution had caused low visibility on the streets and in the air, risking the lives of pedestrians, motorists and even air safety. The air in residential places is also polluted and even with air purifiers, the...

...agrees that an essential property of God must be that he must be perfectly free or at least have some type of freedom. Morris and Swinburne contend that where humans have free will, which might be just a marginal amount of freedom, God has the maximum amount possible of freedom that is logically possible limited by the other characteristics of God. However, it seems when closely examined, many of God’s essential characteristics strip him of any kind of freedom believers might attribute to him. Defining God’s freedom seems to be a very abstract and difficult task. As humans, we feel as though we have free will. There are many different ways to define human free will, but a common characteristic is the ability to have done otherwise in a situation. Meaning, if I were placed in the same exact situation where I had to make a decision multiple times, I could make a different decision each time. However, it seems that given the same exact circumstances, I would have no reason to make a different decision; I would always make the same choice, unless there was an element of randomness introduced. This doesn’t seem like a good way to define free will; God’s intentions never should seem random. A different interpretation would have free will as simply the ability to decide and act given different choices. In this interpretation, I would always make the same decision given the same circumstances. This type of free will seems to hold more merit in terms of human affairs. We can easily see...

...and aims to evaluate the influence they have on gang membership throughout teenage years. Literature suggests that poor parenting and ethnic minorities are more subjected to joining a gang. Furthermore Smith and Bradshaw (2005:3) suggest that gang members are younger with 20% of young people belonging to a gang at the age of 13, and just 5% by the age of 17. In this analysis I will investigate how prominent ethnic minorities and poor parenting are in gang culture and the effect these variables have on gang membership. Firstly I selected one of my independent variables to be ethnicity because of the controversy over racism in 2006: the data I will use for analysis was taken from the OCJS 2006. Ethnic issues in society were heightened at this time because of the cold case review that was to begin the next year into the Stephen Lawrence Inquiry (Cathcart: 2012). Revisiting such a tragic event meant the issues were at the front of the public mind. It was therefore intriguing to study ethnicity as a contributor to gang culture in youth today to see the relative impact it had. Research on ethnicity has been dominated by the labelling of ethnic minorities as offenders and arguably it is merely a scapegoat for the heart of society’s problems. In this report I will analyse whether improper labelling and thus ethnic disproportionality has contributed to gang membership. My ethnicity variable ‘ethnic4’ was recoded from the original 20 responses available to respondents into 5 categories – these...

...Free will is not an illusion. Critically discuss. This essay defends the claim that free will is not an illusion. The first supportive argument for this claim by Aristotle is that we are all responsible for our actions (Aristotle & Taylor, C.C.W. 2006) and also we also responsible to the formation of our character. The second argument to support that free will is not an illusion, whether we like it or not we are free as stated by Sartre arguing that we are condemned to be free (Bernasconi 2007). Together with this view Augustine argue that there is a higher power but we are still free to make choices, those who are predestined to the heaven and those who are not. However this does mean we have free will but it’s a matter of clarification of how this relates to our free will. If determinism were to be right and that some of our decisions are predetermined it is true to say that our decisions are also based upon fate. In a certain aspect, by the person that we are, our gender, race, and religion and status and past experiences, we have been explained that these things do affect our decisions, and that we always have a minimum of two choices for everything we need to do. If someone at any point of time, anywhere was to make a choice that is truly free and voluntary then it can be proved that we have free will. Libertarianism argues that free will is an action involving true devised commands where human beings are free in their action as they are able reason without any physical...

...basketball net excites every determined, focused, and aspiring basketball player. Some may think of making a free throw is as easy as saying the alphabet, but in reality, the art of shooting a free throw comes down to centimeters or maybe even millimeters. If you shot the free throw a couple of centimeters left, the basketball may “toilet roll” around the hoop and eventually not go down the net. It would be hard to change high schoolers and above, but if you start perfecting the mechanics at a young age you can do it. Young kids, it is time to start now and start the process. The art of shooting a free throw comes down to the minute details. Ben Franklin, the author of Poor Richard’s Almanac, wrote: “ A small leak...

...no one ever comes up with a plan on how it should be changed, instead they just complain about how no one changes it. The fact of the matter is that everyone loves free things, especially the idea of free college. However, would that really end up benefiting a student’s education overall? College should be free to those who work for it by maintaining an adequate GPA, therefore we know the student is focused only on education and not about how they’re paying for education, which also allows students to engage in more extracurricular activities such as internships and possibly studying abroad. Why should our country be worried about providing...
