...FATMA ALI PER.3 9/18/14 2014 on track to be hottest year on record in California. This year is on track to be the hottest year in California since record-keeping began roughly 119 years ago, scientists announced Wednesday. Prolonged drought and increasing temperatures over the last four decades have resulted in the warmer conditions currently plaguing California, said Paul Iniguez, science and operation officer for the National Weather Service in Hanford. "Everything is kind of working together," he said. Warmest year on record? A graph shows the possibility of 2014 becoming the warmest year on record in California. (National Weather Service) There is an 88% chance that 2014 will beat the warmest year currently on record -- an average 59.7 degrees set in 1934. Although the most recent heat wave that smothered Southern California certainly looms large in the minds of the public, it's the cumulative effect of consistently warm temperatures statewide that has driven the projection. "We have baked in the fact that we are going to be above average," Iniguez said. Scientists also used past and present average temperature data to run 1 million statistical...

Well they do. No matter if they are a mom and pop shop or a multinational corporation. The big question is how do companies that go international know what taxes they pay?

...The Female Divine in Contemporary Culture Uknown Unknown HUM/105 February 17, 1999 Unknown In Greek mythology, female goddesses are known for their ability to impact the world with their life-giving forces and are believed to be the mothers of Earth. Many mythical stories have been passed down through many generations as to how female goddesses came to be. They are portrayed to be nurturing, loving, and peaceful goddesses who healed what was wounded and loved what was unloved. In the article, The Second Coming of Diana (Diana, Princess of Wales), Princess Diana is compared to the Greek female goddesses. Princess Diana was known for her kind generosity and willingness to use the great power she possessed to help people in desperation.

We want an America that is still the world's strongest force for peace and freedom. And we want an America that is coming together around our enduring values, instead of drifting apart.". (DNC) This is the modern Democratic national committee platform. The democratic party has changed vastly since its creation over 2 centuries ago. In its early stages of life the democratic party's beliefs were much different than they are today,with the ebb and flow of time they have evolved alongside the people who claim democratic allegiance. For instance during the civil war, the democratic party's political platform revolved around the tension between the south and north. Democrats opposed civil rights and tolerated slavery in an attempt to conjure the votes in the devastated south.( Britannica ) Today however, through political reform of an entire parties beliefs the modern democratic party is born. Whether democrat or republican citizens of the united states have faced challenges and adversity, through this struggle we as a people can come together and create a entity that reflects our core beliefs in matters of all aspects of life.

...Human Resource Management Introduction What can be done to minimise and resolve conflict within the workplace? What factors create alienation amongst employees? When people hear the word conflict, automatically adjectives that come to mind are controversy, clash, to come into collision, quarrel. However, these findings are not always likely to be the only cause. It was always so easy for theorists to automatically assume that every aspect of conflict should be negative. As D. Jordan (1996) noted that there were two types of conflict which are defined as; Cognitive conflict C-Type conflict which is seen as the good aspect. And also detrimental and this is defined as affective conflictive (A-Type conflict. Meanwhile, it can also create a negative impact on many individuals which may result into poor productivity at work, employee dissatisfaction, poor service towards clients, increased work related stress and so on. Once conflict arises in the workplace, it can also result in employee demotivation. TASK 1 Arguments have stated that conflicts actually react to attempts in managing them as the team leader will practise various strategies to build a supportive culture. Amason (1995) believed the use of behavioural strategies to deal with conflict in the work place can create harmony in the work place.

...Event Paper One – Painting ARTS 1301.002 Nathaniel Moore February 16, 2015 On February 10, 2015 I went to the Dallas Museum of Art and looked through several galleries of paintings and other artwork. I was intrigued by the Between Action and the Uknown the Art of Kazou Shiraga and Sadamasa Montonaga exhibit. Several of the works that stood out to me used a variety of color and evoked feelings of sadness. In this paper I will analyze the feelings created by Kazou Shiraga in Difficult Voyage. The intense texture, use of contrasting colors, and the subject matter of a sinking ship culminates in feelings of sadness and despair while looking at Difficult Voyage. At the Dallas Museum of Art I saw Difficult Voyage by Kazou Shiraga and the painting really stuck with me. The painting tells a story through time about an accident on a ship. In the painting there are three recreations of the same ship in various states of being. The first ship towards the top is light and floating through the water normally with a relaxed passenger appearing safe and innocent. The second ship is on brighter as it is on fire and the passenger onboard is no longer calm but is working to stop the fire from sinking the ship. The third ship is partially submerged and the passenger is now dead and whiter than a ghost but the ship is covered in red. The painting has a very rough texture to it that alters how the light hits separate parts of the painting causing them...

...Write a short critical essay explaining how the poor economic climate in the UK might affect the marketing mix of a start-up retail venture in the high street. I will look critically at setting up a retail business on the high street in the current economic climate and the affect this may have on the marketing mix. I will first give a brief overview of the economic situation in the UK and high street retail in general. The UK economy has undergone a protracted period of instability since the banking crisis of 2007/08, which sparked economic downturn for the UK and caused a dramatic fall in both consumer and business confidence. Between 2008 and 2012, the UK experienced two periods of recession and has been subject to austerity measures, such as public spending cuts, welfare reforms and increased taxation, imposed by the UK Government in an attempt to reduce the country’s budget deficit and reverse economic decline. These measures coupled with high inflation, rising levels of unemployment and low wage growth have contributed to less disposable household income and subsequently lower consumer spending across most of the UK. The economic constraints of the last five years, such as falling consumer spending, increasing operating costs for businesses (20% rise since 2006) alongside less available, affordable borrowing to businesses have led to large numbers of high street retailers closing their doors. The Centre for Retail Research (2013) reported that 54 retail companies...

...Mass Media Influence Does the mass media cause undesirable social consequences with specific reference to pornography It started by way of messengers and scribes, evolved through the presentation of newspapers and radio, brought us together with television, and now serves us world-wide via the ever-popular Internet. It is the mass media, and even from the earliest days of its existence, it has contributed greatly in ways that both enlighten and enrich society, and ways that deteriorate and perplex it. It is not a surprise to learn, then, that the mass media is the most powerful source of information we have, and nothing else in today s world influences public perception quite as heavily. Unfortunately, however, most of what is broadcast or transmitted in the news today is with reference to the chaotic condition of our planet, or something else that society as a whole sees as detrimental or damaging. But the news on television is not the only type of media taking the criticism of society. Other forms of mass media, specifically movies and television programs containing pornography and violence have been heavily criticized. The underlining concept to be debated here is that society is negatively influenced, specifically, by these images of pornography and the result is increased violence against women. This assumption, and it is indeed only an assumption, is completely fallacious, however, as no concrete and completely conclusive evidence has ever been formulated in support of...
