...Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG) industry is rumored to be worth about $450–675 million. However, before we get ahead of ourselves, let’s revisit role-playing with a simple example. Imagine that you are role-playing a character called Tom. Tom has some character attributes —he is twenty-three years old, an MBA who comes from a rich family with links to royalty. Tom also has a personality—he is a confident, fearless person who has the determination to see things through, and who is driven by certain motivations.Tom is determined to prove that he can succeed on his own and step out of the shadow of his father, a shipping tycoon. His motivation drives him to set certain goals. Launching his entrepreneurial venture in the next year is one of them. Taking the venture public within five years is another. Tom may have some resources with him—a $900,000 inheritance from an aunt who passed away recently. In a typical role-play, Tom will interact with different characters, played by the other participants. Therefore, along with Tom, there may be Dick and Harry. Dick could be a 60-year- old venture capitalist, who sees in Tom the son he never had, and wants to mold him into a successful businessman. Harry might be Tom’s younger brother whose...

...MANAGERIAL ECONOMICS – BMME5103 MAY 2013 - Managerial Economics – BMME5103 Instructor: DR. Nabil Al Hazmi USTY ID : 201312239 Program: MBA Assignment - Student Name: Sufian Mohammed Abdo Ali Al Ba’adani Question 1 a) Write a brief definition of economics. Elaborate the conditions that give rise to this definition. Answer: It is the social science that studies the production ,distribution and consumption of goods and services and is concerned with the efficient use of scarce resources to achieve the maximum satisfaction of economic wants and needs. Economic wants are many and different. People look for many goods and services to satisfy their wants. Society uses resources to produce goods and services that fulfill these wants. Unfortunately, the resources are not sufficient to satisfy those wants. [1] b) Analyze the THREE interrelated features of the economic perspective? Answer: 1) Scarcity: The first interrelated feature of the economic perspective is the scarcity of resources that forces individuals and society to make decision among alternatives . Human and property resources are scarce, so choices must be made about how best to utilize those little resources. 2) Allocation decision: economics assumes that any decision-making is based on “rational self-interest.” People make rational decisions to achieve the maximum satisfaction of a goal. customers try to get the highest value for their payments. Workers try to get the best job given their skills...

...From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "Don't be a dick" redirects here. For the meta essay, see meta:Don't be a jerk. For other uses, see Dick (disambiguation). Dick is an English-language euphemism used for a variety of slang purposes, some generally considered vulgar. It is used to refer to the penis,[1] and by extension as a verb to describe sexual activity. It is also used as a pejorative term for individuals who are considered to be rude, abrasive, inconsiderate, or otherwise contemptible.[1] In this context, it can be used interchangeably with jerk, and can also be used as a verb to describe rude or deceitful actions. Variants include dickhead, which literally refers to the glans. The offensiveness of the word dick is complicated by the continued use of the word in inoffensive contexts, including as both a given name and a surname, in the popular British dessert, spotted dick, in the classic novel Moby-Dick, and in the Dick and Jane series of children's books. Uses such as these have provided a basis for comedy writers to exploit this juxtaposition through double entendre. The word dick has had other slang meanings in the past. It was frequently used in mystery fiction to mean "detective", as with the 1940 W.C. Fields film, The Bank Dick (which was released in the United Kingdom as The Bank Detective). The word has sometimes been used to mean "nothing". Neither of these definitions were necessarily pejorative or related to the usual modern meaning of the word. Contents...

...The glare of my cell phone lit up the dark car. I grinned to myself as I saw a particularly funny meme. We had made a stop on our way back from dinner at Nani Ama’s. It was Eid, probably the most awaited event of the year, bound to be vibrant with promises of eidee, dinners, uplifted by unadulterated joy. Then something happened, marring Eid of the year 2015. It changed my life, that mere knock on my father’s window. “Phone dou, warna mein nai goli mar deni hai.” My blood ran cold. I froze, halting my ministrations, his nasally voice ringing in my ears, as he promised blood, if my father didn’t obey. Forcing myself to look up, I saw a sight I’ll never forget. Ever. The glow of my father’s Blackberry, the frozen picture of him and my sister beaming set as the background, finding its way out the window, towards the pair of hands, one curled around a black revolver, the other’s greedy fingers reaching towards the window. In that moment, it felt like such a disgusting betrayal of our family’s privacy, clenching my gut. I registered my father’s tense stance, shoulders set; alert. Seeing the ever assertive man helpless at the hands of a scrawny 20 year old brandishing a revolver, tilted my world in its axis. A thousand pictures played on a reel in my mind, of blood and gore, and a belligerent wave of emotion crashed: despair. I sat immobile, only aware of the horrifying scene unfolding before my eyes. “Ye wala nai, wou wala.” He drawled, cracking the deadly silence. My father obeyed...

...Due to the limited resources and unlimited human wants, whole world faces problem of scarcity. Therefore, capitalism is needed to solve these production decision such as what and how to produce the goods and services and distribution decision such as for whom to produce the goods and services. Capitalism is an economic system in which the major portion of production and distribution is in private hands, operating under what is termed a profit or market system. In the country which works on capitalism system, the production and distribution decisions are made by private individuals who are free to pursue their self-interest and their decisions are coordinated and communicated through price signals which also means by profit motive in the market. I believe that the morality of capitalism is debatable, whether the capitalism is moral or immoral have to view it from different sides of perspective. Utilitarianism said that an action is judged as right, good, or wrong on the basis of its consequences. It emphasizes that greatest good for the greatest number of people. In other words, the goods have to be maximized for everyone affected by the decision (Weiss J.W., 2008). When all the costs are added and compared with the results, if the benefits outweigh the costs, then the action may be considered ethical. In a capitalist economic system, individuals have natural rights to property. They can possess, use and dispose the means of production or distribution such as equipment, machines...

...1. American Sport Movies There are few countries in the world in which sports permeate national life to the degree that it does in the United States. Sports are a big part of the fabric of American life. The centrality of sports in American life is amply reflected in the American cinema. For decades movie makers have successfully mined sports to produce some of the most inspiring, poignant, exciting and memorable American movies ever made. The genre of ‘Sport Movies’ established in the Fifties and the Sixties. At the very beginning it was hard to see it as an independent genre because there was a lot of mixture. There have been propaganda movies as well as comedies, dramas, gangster movies or even westerns combined with some sport scenes. So the movie industry defined three categories of sport movies. Category 1: movies in which the main part of the narration is about sport or an athlete Category 2: movies which tell the life story of an athlete Category 3: movies which use sport scenes to describe a special milieu In addition to that there are a lot of movies of another genre which use sport scenes to dramatise the story or to create a good suspense. The first sport movies were all about the so called American Myth of victory and glory. Fair competitions and the better athletes defeating the weaken. The fascination of sport inspiring the people was used to lure the public. Then in the eighties and nineties there have been made a lot of biographical movies...

...task. A tiny HIV virus that you cannot see with your eyes can destroy a whole human body. Why? It is because this virus multiplies itself many times and very fast. It believes it can work when they are many. Be like an HIV virus. Do not allow the situation and circumstances to give you more problems. Rather, ‘trouble’ the situation and circumstances by constantly and continuously giving them more words. This is the reason why Jesus said that you should pray without ceasing. He knew why He said that. You might be a Christian and you are telling yourself that you have prayed over this same problem for one or two years now but there are no results yet. It is because you are counteracting your prayer with negative words. You tell every Tom, Dick and Harry you meet about your problem. As you talk about your problem all the time, they become bigger and difficult to solve. You wonder why the more you pray the more problems that come your way. The two sides of the equation are balanced and as such, there are no results. Instead of talking about your problems to multiply them rather talk to the...
