... The Russian population came forth from a mixed heritage, mainly Slavic. The language and tools of the early Russians is often related to agricultural work, thus it emphasizes their way of life. The growth of towns and villages bring a rise economically socially and politically, which changed the lives of the Slavs from a rural people to a more not so much urban people but less rural people. Class distinction was beginning to develop amongst the people as wealth from these villages and the enterprises in them In the beginning not all people were under strict control of the Czar, also, not all that were under the Czar were Russian. The Russian culture was very diverse due to colonization. It is not uncommon for someone at this time to be a Finn, Slav, or other race. Russians are not a race, but an ethnic group of mixed background. Some leaders of Russia can be praised for their good work. One of these great leaders in particular was Peter the Great. From 1682 till 1721 he was the Czar of Russia, and from 1721 till 1725, he was emperor of all of Russia. His westernization of Russia was looked at by some as a blessing, and by others as a curse. Many believed that if they were to follow their own world, and views that Russia...

...through thick and thin, through ups and downs. Eden saw the uncertainty in his teams face, their eyes were focussed on the floor rather than the pitch. The coach was running late as usual, and it seemed that this time Luiz was not getting up to make the before game motivational speech, instead he sat there scratching his boofy head. On the other side of the field, moving in sequence behind a young man with a whistle and a ball, were the opponents. Each of them were individually bigger than Luiz and his team. They were fit, obedient and consistent, the perfect team. Eden took his glance away from the other boys, to see a black SUV pull up in the car park, late as usual. The MHMFC under fifteens coach came rushing from the car, his adidas tracksuit and nike cap made it obvious to the boys that their coach had finally arrived. The team murmured amongst each other, none of them were ready. Eden broke the silence. “It’s about time he showed up, it’s only the most important match of our season” Giggles went around the team. “Our jersey is green, our coach’s jersey is adidas and nike” Laughter poured out, the first sign of optimism in a while. “Boys, it’s good to see you laughing!” The coach stormed through, clearly late but no one said a word about it. “Now we haven’t got much time, but lets...

...Now granitite I’ve only had my license for 6 months but total I’ve been driving for about a year now which is just enough time to realize what made whoever I was with, flip out, while driving on the freeway. And this definitely isn’t something new but you don’t really understand it until you are the one actually driving a car. So for the kids that don’t drive yet sorry you probably won’t get the full effect of this speech, but to the ones who do I’m about to connect with you all on a new level, the one of terrible drivers. One of the things that bugs me the most is when they pass you and there is no advantage to them, none, at all. There's a lot of people out there who will be very rude or dangerous about passing you, we all know about that, but in most cases they're gaining something, at least according to their priorities. They're passing you to get into an open lane where they can go ahead and keep driving 200 mph, so that they can die faster. If there's a slow car, of course people want to pass, I can understand that. But say you're going slowly only because the car in front of you is...

...successfully earned two bachelor degrees one in Arts whereas the other in Science. Congratulations! Still I was yearning for more. I knew I wanted a master’s degree in Business but I just did not know when or where in which I was going to do it. My plan was to pass my medical boards, which was the Physician Assistant National Certifying Examination go straight into the Masters’ program. Additionally, I looked into what the requirements were for a Masters’ Degree, the traditional schools required passing the GRE. I was contemplating whether or not I wanted to start studying again to prepare to pass the GRE a colleague who was a physician assistant friend told me about University of Phoenix and he explained to me that the school does not require GRE scores. I was intrigued yet hesitated at the same time because I did not know much about the University. Months had passed and my friend called me one day to inform me that he was graduating already from University of Phoenix with his MBA Degree in Health Care Administration. I couldn’t believe how fast the time had passed. During our conversation he stated how pleased he was of the program and he also reassured me that the program was durable doable working full-time as a physician assistant. At that point I told him I would check it out. Yes, the program targets working adults. Furthermore, my expectation of earning a MBA is to gain the knowledge of running my own business. I ultimately want to open up my own medical clinic...

...Red Light Cameras Proposition Paper Violeta Gonzalez Introduction Red light cameras have been created to decrease car accidents and increase the safety at intersections. The red light cameras have increased so it can be easy to enforce citizens to not pass a red light at intersections. More than 400 cities in United States have enforced red light cameras. But yet there have been disadvantages and advantages toward red light cameras. Red Light Cameras A red light camera is a camera that photographs a vehicle when it runs a red light an intersection. It has been in use since 1986. It becomes active once the signal light turns red. Photographs are taken from front and rear of the vehicle. Once the camera captures a photograph of a person passing a red light a citation is sent home through mail to the registered owner of the vehicle. Disadvantages of having red light cameras are increasing rear-end accidents, ticket recipients are not notified, driver not being identified and invasion of privacy. Rear-accidents are being increased because it makes the driver in the front hit the brake once the light is yellow and the car behind it has not enough time to brake. Most drivers are scared to run a red light and don’t want to get a ticket. Another reason is that recipients aren’t being notified as soon as possible. The government sends the ticket as first class. They assume that the driver gets it. The case may be that the driver never got it or the government assumes that...

These are just a few of problems that would indicate a need for training when any problem that happens a lot or is happening by a lot of employees at one time this is a red flag indicating its time to do some training. * These issues would be identified from having a lot of customers with complaints about the staff, or the way things are ran at the medical office. The wrong information placed in systems about patients that causing insurance billing problems and patient personal information errors. Staff spending too much time one thing or many of things that is causing over time that is costing the company money as a whole. Not spending enough time on doing the job correctly and just rushing threw it causing room for error. * If I was a training manager, I would prioritize training needs upon what is needed to be worked on threw out the medical office as a whole. If there are many of problems that need training then there will be more training available. But there is training available each month on what is needed to be worked on. * Delivery: * The best method for conducting this training would be to have in-services aka training classes. First upon hiring each employee must pass the pre test for qualification for the position. Then have complete training during orientation then. There will be a monthly in-service where all employees come and must be re trained on this information. They must pass the in-service if...

...Analyzing the Beautiful Game Sports analytics, no matter the field’s renegade posturing, has now been around long enough to have its own pieces of conventional wisdom. Baseball’s cognoscenti know all about the primacy of on-base percentage over batting average, and they have also come to realize once-treasured strategies like bunting and stealing bases are best used sparingly. In basketball, the mid-range jump shot is slowly being phased out as an inefficient relic of antiquity. Spreadsheets are shaming football coaches into rolling the dice more often on fourth downs. But for many American fans tuning into the World Cup, soccer’s nuggets of analytic insight remain as foreign as the game itself. There are set pieces to orchestrate, attacking strategies to plan, areas of the defense to exploit — and it isn’t always apparent which tactics are best. But analytics has clear advice on how to do some things right. Soccer analytics is very much viewed as a discipline in its infancy. And the sport itself is often described as especially resistant to the pull of number-crunching, whether due to its fluid nature, its sportocratic establishment culture, or a fear that the un-sentimentality of data will rob the Beautiful Game of its celebrated elegance. There’s not much truth to that. Off and on, people have been tracking relatively detailed soccer data in some form for more than six decades, up to and including the modern companies that exhaustively log every event on the pitch.

...education is the most important building block to this cause and fulfilling my end goal. My greatest fear is that I will get complacent and comfortable, miss an assignment due date, and get behind in class. I plan on using my planner and a wall calendar to mark my assignments and tests. This method helped me during my associates and I hope it will help me again in this new chapter. In my skills testing for nursing school I became nervous that I wouldn’t pass. The school I attended made it mandatory for the nursing students to pass a skills testing, such as in IV med administration or NG tube placement, before we were able to attend clinicals. This made me extremely nervous that I wouldn’t pass the skills test, and that I wouldn’t be able to attend any of my clinicals. I succeeded in passing this skills test by practicing my skills almost every day and by reading over the rubric constantly. I also had my fellow peers watch and critique me while I practiced the certain skills. By coordinating my time, I was able to pass all my skills test and attend my...

...landed as I tried to wake up my friend Mike who laid in bed like a lifeless deer. Suddenly an adrenaline rushed through my spine causing me to shiver as the pilot announced we were finally free to go.He quickly woke up breathing heavily as if he just had a heart attack. As he regained his senses I could still see the slap mark I gave him. “Damn that felt good,” I murmured under my breath. “What hit me?” Mike asked confusingly. “Nothing, we just landed mate,” I replied with a grin. Our tattered up brown bags were all ready to go as soon as we got off the plane and we hurried along as we didn’t want to be late for this once in a life time opportunity to watch Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather fight against Amir ‘King’ Khan. As we stepped out, a cold chill welcomed us and grey clouds gathered above us. We hastily rushed towards the yellow cab and demanded to be at the arena as soon as possible. The clock ticked nervously closer towards 10pm as the traffic slowed us down. I got more anxious by the second. My heart started to beat uncontrollably and I suddenly had an urge to escape. “Forget this Mike, let’s go on foot,” I demanded as I flung open the cab door and zoomed past the cabs,avoiding the thundering traffic.The pungent smell of spices overwhelmed me, wafting up my nose causing me to feel queasy. However with my destination in sight, I dashed towards it until suddenly… I stopped...

...passed from the seller to the buyer. Also, possessor may not be an owner. The general rule is that only a person with title can pass good title to another person. The meaning of ownership was defined in section 61as the general property in the goods. The conclusive purpose of a contract for the sale of goods is to pass ownership of goods from the seller to the buyer. First of all, it is important to consider whether the goods are specific goods. Specific goods are determined under section 61 as the goods which are agreed and identified upon at the time a contract of sale is made. In the case Kursell v Timber Operators the Court held that if at the time the contract was made, the goods were not identified then the goods were not specific, i.e. all goods being sold must be identified. Therefore, it will not form the contract for sale of specific goods. Also, the similar decision was held in the case Re Wait, where the Court of Appeal held that the goods were not specific goods because there was no ascertainment or identification. However, if there was not contract of the specific goods than it must be the contract of unascertained goods. Section 17(1) states that property in specific goods or ascertained goods will transfer to the buyer when the parties of the contract intend it to pass. Property in specific goods passes when the parties intend it to pass. For the purpose of ascertaining the intention of...

...1. Was the 1984 acquisition of the small household appliance business from GE a related or unrelated diversification? Defend your position. What motivated that acquisition? Was the 1989 acquisition of Emhart Corporation a related or unrelated diversification? Defend your position. What motivated that acquisition? The acquisition of the small household appliance business from GE is a related diversification. Because before this acquisition, B&D was the world’s famous power tools manufacturers, and after B&D acquired the small household appliance division from GE, B&D was able to expand and transform into a consumer products company. Most importantly, the raw materials, the manufacturing process, and the assembly process for producing power tools and small house-hold appliances all bear similarities to some extent, therefore, B&D could create related diversification by using its capabilities and resources into other settings. The motivation behind this acquisition is the extra clout that being able to offer retailers a full line of housewares would have in competing for shelf space. The acquisition of Emhart Corporation is an unrelated diversification. Emhart was a diversified manufacturer of industrial products, information and electronic systems, and consumer products. Emhart’s business and product categories were broader than B&D’s, and included many categories that B&D did not have. Although Emhart had some businesses that seemed to fit with those...
