...Top Ten Assignment The Enlightenment and Romanic Ages produced numerous masterpieces in art, music, architecture, and literature which people still enjoy today. These opus magnums along with the philosophies during the two periods are reflections of the developments in world events and cultural patterns. This paper will present two pieces of art, music, architecture, literature, and philosophy from the Enlightenment and Romanic Ages that best represents the developments patterns from that time. Philosophy in the Enlightenment Age focused on an individual’s right to life and liberty. One example of a philosopher from this age is Thomas Jefferson. He famously wrote the Declaration of Independence (1776) that the Continental Congress signed declaring the United States free from the oppression of England. The document begins with, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness” (us history, 2013). Another such example of philosophy during the Enlightenment Age are the works of Thomas Paine. He wrote two of the most highly influential pamphlets at the start of the American Revolution. One such pamphlet is Common Sense (1776) (us history, 2011) the all-time bestselling book that advocates America’s independence from Great Britain. Thomas Jefferson and Thomas Paine were chosen as examples because we believe the Declaration...

For decades, the use of different substances for various applications lead to the discovery of potential toxic substances that may have caused injurious effects. Poisoning commonly occurs thru ingestion and usually, it was unintentional. Acute toxicity is the single exposure or multiple exposures for short periods to the substance causing the injury. Symptoms may be rapid and are in close relation to the toxic agent. On the other hand, chronic toxicity are caused by repeated or multiple exposure for longer periods to the poison. Signs and symptoms of chronic toxicity may appear even after several years upon the initial exposure. ADULT TOP TEN TOXICITIES 1. CAUSTICS Caustics are strong acids and alkali that when ingested can cause tissue injury by chemical reaction. They damage the tissues by accepting a proton (alkaline substance)...

...the self defense company “The Top 10 Tactics Every Street Smart Person Knows” First of all everyone and their mother will tell you to be aware of your surroundings, trust your instincts and yell “fire” instead of “help”. This advice is all good advice, but since it’s almost common knowledge I’m going to briefly mention our take on these ideas and not “charge” you for it because they’re NOT on the list. The basic rule of measure is if something feels wrong, it is. Pay attention to that little voice inside your head. Women have “intuition” while men have a “gut feeling”. You’re more perceptive than you think. You have been evolving for millions of years and “fear” is your friend when used in the manner in which it was intended. If you get “that feeling”, you need to implement a radical change of action. For example: if you’re looking for your car and you feel like you’re being followed, duck into a store and call someone. If you’re going into your apartment, pretend to remember something you forgot in the car and go get it. This little change in behavior will be the difference of life and death at the cost of a handful of minutes. There are countless instances where people recalled seeing their attacker earlier in the day. Don’t let a little inconvenience cause you to sacrifice your life. Remember most people die in the wild because of shame. They ask themselves, “What did I do wrong? How could I have gotten myself into this?" And so they sit ...

...shocked the world from being “America’s most innovative company” to America's biggest corporate bankruptcy at its time. At its peak, Enron was America's seventh largest corporation. Enron gave the illusion that it was a steady company with good revenue but that was not the case, a large part of Enron’s profits were made of paper. This was made possible by masterfully designed accounting and morally questionable acts by traders and executives. Deep debt and surfacing information about hiding losses gave the company big problems and in the late 2001 Enron declared bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. Many factors affected Enron's surge to the top and its sudden fall. In this report we will discuss and present what we think were the main reasons of their rise and fall. Enron’s surge to the top From energy to trading Kenneth Lay was one of the key spokesmen when it came to deregulation of the energy market, much because of his personal connection to the Bush family. In the early 1990's the United States congress approved a legislation that deregulated the sale of natural gas. Not long before this Lay was one of the initiators that made it possible to sell electricity on the free market. This major deregulation in the energy market gave Enron...

...Top 10 Project Management skills The top 10 project management skills Projects, by definition, have specific start and end dates. Other characteristics of a project include a defined scope, finite budget, specific end results (or deliverables), and assigned resources. Another characteristic of a project is that the work is unique. Even if one project is similar to another, it’s not exactly the same because circumstances change and things are always different when you’re dealing with people. One of the primary roles of managers is to manage the work process. While small projects don’t necessarily require much knowledge of project management or much project management discipline, as a project gets larger, there is more need to utilize formal processes and techniques. Different project management methodologies organize and structure these processes in various ways. The goal for this project management primer is to examine 10 basic skills of project management: 1. Define the project 2. Plan the work 3. Manage the workplan 4. Manage issues 5. Manage scope 6. Manage risks 7. Manage communication 8. Manage documentation 9. Manage quality 10. Manage metrics In general, if you can master these areas, you can succeed in most projects. Project work vs. project management Notice that the list doesn’t include analysis, design, testing, or implementation. Those who have worked on projects probably know that they typically include analysis and testing. However, there...

...Market intelligence > Top ten global pharma Top ten global pharma Dr Vishal Agrawal, project manager, and Sunehli Jamwal, analyst, from GlobalData, highlight the top ten pharmaceutical companies by 2011 revenue. Pfizer 1 Johnson & Johnson 2 US pharmaceutical giant Pfizer maintained its top position in 2011 with stipulated revenue of $67.4 billion, up by 1% compared with $67.1 billion in 2010. The company’s new marketing strategy, coupled with focused organisational, financial and R&D restructuring efforts, compensated for the losses caused by Lipitor’s patent expiry. The approval of Xalkori for lung cancer, Inlyta and pneumococcal vaccine Prevnar 13 have proved to be a real lifeline for Pfizer. Moving ahead, the steady progress of the late-stage pipeline (with 22 projects in phase III and 11 under registration) will be a primary source of confidence for the company. The key strategy of the group is now to advance experimental drugs towards approval: these include Bosutinib, Tofacitinib, experimental clot-preventing drug Eliquis and its many pipeline drugs to make up for the inevitable decline in Lipitor revenue. With a view to reducing costs, Pfizer’s huge research budget has been cut by 12%. In 2012, Pfizer will focus on small to mid-sized deals and effective research partnerships to strengthen its portfolio in all therapeutic segments. Johnson & Johnson (J&J) reported 2011 revenues of $65 billion, a 5.6% increase over 2010. In 2011, the company generated...

As Christians in business we must strive to do as Christ would have us to do. We should have a higher standard when it comes to having proper etiquette in business; in my research I will attempt to convey the top ten blunders of business etiquette. People may ask well what blunders are. Blunders are simply mistakes or things that should not be done. All businesses have a set of ethical codes of business; no matter how large or small the business, proper etiquette counts as well as manners. As a Christian in customer service it is my job to make sure that I deliver outstanding service to our clients, by exceeding their expectations. I have been on both sides as the consumer as well as the representative of the business and I have had all these common blunders occur in my work as well me being the customer.

Texting and emailing unless it its business related should not be done at all while working, this type of disasters can cause serious miss communication between both client and business.

...makes the toy quite easy to make. It is an ancient mechanical device used for ceremonial purposes and as a toy. It is an object in the middle of a cord and can be made to buzz by winding the cord while keeping the end stationary. The object moves by pulling and releasing the tension on the cord. The most common way that it was made was with a large button and some string. History of the toy As children in the 1950's, this was a favorite toy. It is interactive and although it doesn't seem to do much, the hypnotic whirring and the pulling to keep it moving kept us busy for a long time. There are several different kinds of spinning tops. In East Asia the conventional way of spinning the top is by using a string. By the late 16th century, tops like these were being used by adults in Britain. The Museum has a varied collection of spinning tops, humming tops and gyroscopes. A number of optical toys was developed in the early 19th century and it is used as spinning to create moving pictures. One of these is the zoetrope invented in 1834. It consists of a metal drum pierced by a series of thin vertical slots. Paper strips, depicting a moving figure or object, are placed inside. When the child spins the drum and looks through the slots, the pictures appear to move. This is due to the principle of “persistence of vision”; the brain remembers what the eye has seen for a fraction of a second and so “pieces together” the separate pictures.

...'...thank you...' Something about that simple, appreciative gesture made his stomach twist. Made bile rise up in the back of his throat. He glared at his hands, not wanting to meet Amaimon's gaze. "Don't be thankful," he snarled lowly, still refusing to meet his brother's eyes even when they searched his own gaze "...I'm a monster...you shouldn't thank me for anything." The time King stayed in his small huff for a couple of minutes until finally the red that blossomed so fully against his brother's pale cheeks and he smiled again, laughing, trying to shake of the momentary seriousness. "Hmm," he hummed quietly and shook his head " it's not stupid, I understand. I probably should have asked first, but you just looked so tired and cold," setting the towel aside, he pulled the younger demon closer to him, letting his eyes close sleepily, he was tired too. "Alright...just tell me if you want to move or anything..." "I bet if you could have chosen to be the oldest you would have, even if it meant being father's lap dog like Lucifer is. I would...even if it meant I was a puppet...I was the youngest for so long...I don't know if father will have anymore children other than Rin and Yukio, but I know what it feels like..." That was why he'd told Amaimon that it wasn't his fault. Because it wasn't and he knew what it felt like to feel like it was. Father hadn't had children for a long time after he had been born, not legitimate ones anyway, with the way Satan was he was sure over those...
