...I am on my way to see the Wizard of Oz. I am asking for a new heart so I can love again. I found a yellow brick road that would most likely lead to the great Wizard of oz’s castle. I found some friends on the way to the castle. The trip was long and hard but we made it there after what felt like years. When I saw the wizard I was in awe he had a great throne. I was very nervous and a little excited. I was about to back out and go home but my friends encouraged me to stay. The wizard asked me what I needed I was trembling in fear. I told him I need a heart to love again. I said “I need a heart to love again because I want to marry the munchkin girl but I need a heart to do that. The wizard asked for more reasons so I gave him more....

...Tamer Shublaq Fairytale B Mrs. Johnson 15 December 2013 The Wonderful Wizard of Oz A fairy tale is a kind of folklore or fable that has magical elements within the story, exhibited through the characters or the sequence of events. Fairytales contain magical elements that could include wizards, monsters, talking animals, or even magical helpers. Not only do fairytales contain character archetypes, but they also include situational archetypes such as quests, impossible tasks, or the triumphs of the poor. Although all fairytales have different plots, they are all extremely similar to each other due to the common motifs and archetypes that are present in all fairytale stories. To determine whether a story is a fairytale or not is incredibly easy because one can easily discover numbers of motifs and archetypes that are exhibited throughout the story. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum is a story about a girl named Dorothy who is sent to fulfill arduous tasks and lengthy quests in order to find her way back home. As she tries to find her return home, she has many rough encounters with evil but is assisted by various characters and eventually returns home safely. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz would be considered a fairytale because of the common motifs and archetypes that are present and consistent throughout the story. The motifs and archetypes in the story are the hero, the trickster, the talking animals or objects, the glorified human strength of kindness, and the guardian...

...enchant; Dorothy's friends believe in the gifts the Wizard bestows upon them. Oz is a breathtaking world, yet Dorothy yearns to return to the bleakness of Kansas; Baum celebrates both opposing environments. There are good witches and bad witches, North and South and East and West, the first chapter mirrors the last chapter, Dorothy is disappointed by the Wizard twice. There is also a very repetitive cast to the writing. Each of the characters explains their wish to the Wizard in the same way, one after the other. Each of them is told the same thing by the Wizard. When Dorothy talks to her friends they often answer her one after the other. The Wicked Witch sends her minions out one after the other. The Wizard meets with the Scarecrow, Tin Woodman, and Lion one after the other, their experiences and conversations proceeding in the exact same fashion. Baum's use of repetition provides structure and order to a fantastical book. It keeps the text sane and establishes the irrefutable reality of Oz and the events transpiring there. Page 15 / Simile – “It was Toto that made Dorothy laugh, and saved her from growing as gray as her other surroundings.” Importance – This simile is important because it sums up how important Toto is in Dorothy’s life. Everything surrounding Dorothy in Kansas was boring and gray, including the grass, the paint on her house, and even the faces of her aunt and...

...Something Deeper Jada McGinnis 10/10/14 4th Hour Mr.Koch Film, Lit. and the Media “Just a childrens story or something deeper?” is the question that’s on the minds of many when discussing the classic novel, “The Wonderful Wizard of OZ”. The heart of the book involves a “Brainless” Scarecrow, a “Heartless” Tinman, a “Cowardly” Lion, a “Bad” Witch, a “Good” Witch, a wizard deemed as The Great Oz and a little girl named Dorothy who just wanted to get back home. All aspects that would make you believe it to be just a children’s story and nothing more right? Wrong! When author, L. Frank Baum created The Wizard of OZ maybe he had something else up his sleeve; a deeper meaning. The Wonderful Wizard of OZ was written in the 1900’s during the collapse of the populist movement. Making it to believe that, The Wonderful Wizard of OZ is nothing but a Political Allegory. It was reported that author Frank L. Baum was a political activist in the 1890’s who showed a great deal of interest in the question of “gold and silver”. The question of Gold and Silver being whether or not both silver and gold should be used as currency ( Bryan’s side) or the economic account being based on a fixed quantity of gold (the Republicans side). To put the controversy in a simpler form; you had two sides, “free silver” (Bryan) and “sound money” (Republicans). In Baums’, The Wonderful Wizard Of OZ, the “Yellow Brick Road” would represent the Gold standard and the silver slippers; most commonly known as ruby...

...Many people have read or seen the movie “The Wizard of Oz”, but how many people can say that they know why it was created. People see this as a cute children’s story that teaches them that it is fine to be different and that each person has their own special quality that makes them who they are. However, the story was written by Frank L. Baum, to show how life was defining Populism. The three characters Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion help to define it. The Tin Woodman in the book and movie was the character that “did not” have a heart. The Tin Woodman was made up of all tin to represent that he was a hard worker. During this period laborer had to work hard or they would be fire. Many workers started working harder than ever and basically becoming the machines. This shows how Populist view of evil Eastern influence on honest labor which could hardly be more pointed. The one thing bad about being made of all tin is that when it rains you start to rust. From the point of being a worker over time you start to put too much on your body and your body starts to give out. The Lion in the book and movie was the character that wanted to have courage. The Lion represents Bryan himself. In 1896 Bryan lost the election to become the Eastern laborer. Bryan feels like he lost because his competitor pressured the voters by having all of his workers believe in him. The Lion was being used to show the importance of silver. Silver is worth a lot and should...

...to conquer her personal fears, she unintentionally improves the land of Oz and while her friends go out of their way to help her she only helps them a scarce amount of times in meaningless ways. To begin with, Dorothy realises that she has to make her journey alone, she is fearful. In land of the Munchkins, Dorothy pleads with the Witch of the North, “to go with (her)”. Alas the Witch cannot do that so she gives “Dorothy her kiss … no one will … injure a person who has … (received) a kiss” from the Witch of the North, for the power of good is far stronger than the power of evil. Unfortunately, she doesn’t succeed in gaining companionship with the Queen, but she accepts the companionship of the Scarecrow, the Cowardly Lion and the Tin Woodman. Dorothy is not alone anymore and her new friends prove to be quite helpful in diminishing the fears she has. Furthermore, When Dorothy arrives in the Land of Oz, she is greeted as a sorceress by the Witch of the North. Dorothy denies title of a sorceress. She explains to the Witch “... (she) is an innocent, harmless little girl…” who never in her life has killed anyone or anything in her life. If Dorothy could choose to “…kill the powerful Witch…” by herself and not get anything out of it what do you think she would do? All of the joy and excitement that Dorothy makes happen in the Land of Oz is for one reason only, so that she can get back to Kansas as soon as possible and continue living her once happy life with her Aunt Em and Uncle...

...With these developments, it is obvious that conflicts between parties of different nationalities occur and liability to tax on income of foreigners especially among those engaging in trading venture. Whilst the laws affecting domicile and residence may be sufficiently settled, it is paramount for courts to pursue a detailed analysis to ascertain specific preliminary issues so as to avoid controversial rulings. Courts often handle numerous financial cases that involve what can be best described as foreign or international elements. In such cases, court must decide whether it has the jurisdiction under the Family Law Act 1975 to make a decision on such cases. In the event that it is determined that the court is invested with the jurisdiction to determine the case, the court has to consider whether there is a system of law in foreign country that also has the jurisdiction to handle the case. As it was addressed in the case Attorney General of New Zealand v Ortiz [1984] AC 1, these benefits and costs to either party if the case resolution is made in foreign country as compared with the apparent country should also be a subject of concern.

...Adapted from Bernhardt & Kinnear (1988). Cases in marketing management, pp. 6-16. Plano, TX: Business Publications, Inc. Pay careful attention to the following points. They are often used by instructors to evaluate either a written or oral analysis. 1. Be complete. Each area of the situation analysis must be discussed, problems and opportunities identified, alternative presented and evaluated using the situation analysis and relevant financial analysis, and a decision must be made. An analysis that omits part of the situation analysis or only recognizes one alternative is not a good analysis. Second, each area must be covered in-depth and within insight. 2. Avoid rehashing case facts. Every case has a lot of factual information. A good analysis uses facts that are relevant to the situation at hand to make summary points of analysis. A poor analysis just restates or rehashes theses facts without making relevant summary comments. 3. Make reasonable assumptions. Every case is incomplete in terms of some piece of information that you would like to have. A good case analysis must make realistic assumptions to fill in the gaps of information in the case. For example, the case may not describe the purchase decision process for the product of interest. A poor analysis would either omit mentioning this or just state that no information is available. A good analysis would attempt to present this purchase decision process by classifying the product and drawing upon real life...

...are given. It is understandable then that we should seek out more opportunities to apply our skills and make more positive impacts within our jurisdictions. It is this general attitude that led us to get involved in investigating cold cases. How We Got Started Mark had, for several years, been consulting with our Coroner’s Division as a forensic anthropologist. During this time he came to learn that there were numerous coroners’ cases in which the identity of the decedent was unknown. These cases were kept in three-ring binders on a shelf in the Sergeant’s office. Over the years, in the course of this forensic work, we would discuss these cases and the progress that was being made on them. The conversation usually ran along the lines of us asking “any luck with that 1980 homicide victim?” and the sergeant answering “well, we’ve gotten so many new cases that I haven’t been able to even look at it yet.” This went on for a few years and through two different sergeants. One day we, as a crime analysis unit, were brainstorming about how we could broaden our “client base”, as it were. We had been successful in integrating ourselves into our Investigations Bureau and had been involved in numerous major cases. And, of course, we had always been active in producing tactical and strategic analyses for our patrol personnel. But we knew that we could be doing more, particularly given the size and responsibilities of our agency. It was during...

...BUSINESS CASE Presented to the Accountancy Department De La Salle University In partial fulfillment Of the course requirements In ACCTBA2 (C33) March 2, 2015 A stakeholder is typically concerned with an organization delivering intended results and meeting its financial objectives. In general, a stakeholder can be one of two types: internal (from within an organization) or external (outside of an organization). The stakeholders in this situation are Lanie Marquez and Tim Rodriguez who are also partners in the retail distribution business and their capital contributions are as follows P500,000 and P300,000 respectively they are an internal stakeholder since they are also the owners. The total Capital of both stakeholders is P800,000 and with a monthly salary for both partners at P15,000 on the assumption that both of them will contribute to manage the business equally. Assuming that both managed the business equally the total salary for the year for Lanie and Tim are P180,000 each. They share profit and loss equally and no interest will be given on capital contributed. The problem for this situation is that Lanie is starting to get concerned with the behavior of her other partner Tim. He only manages the business 50% of the time, which will mean that his salary of P15,000 will need to decrease by also 50% since he does not manage the business equally with his partner. The business has seen a downturn in the profit outcome and for the current financial...

... Many people wonder why their own teeth stain so easily. The enamel on your teeth and chromogens are what stains your teeth, but what exact beverage stains teeth the most? I chose this topic because I was curious to know what stains teeth the most. It affects us daily because it could rot your teeth or you can’t pick up hot chicks anymore. So what causes teeth to stain? The temperature causes teeth to expand or contract making it easier for stains. So hot and cold drinks affect that. Color in foods and beverages come from chromogens. Chromogens are intensely pigmented compounds that stick to teeth enamel. Chromogens cause a lot of trouble when they mix and react with other stain causing and stain promoting factors. Tannis may be natural or synthetic tannis is another factor that stains teeth. Tooth enamel is porous making it extremely susceptible to stains. The darker the liquid the darker the stain. There are some examples that stain teeth. Not only sodas bad but also Gatorade. Beets are bad for you also. Mostly cause they’re concentrated. Berries dark skins stain teeth. Ketchup is also really bad because of its bright red color and high levels of acid. Dark liquids and sauces you put on your foods also stain teeth. Colored candy and popsicles both contain colorants that will transfer to the teeth and embed in the porous enamel. Fruit juices, especially grape and cranberry, leave a colorful tinge on the teeth and tongue. Colored sodas instantly discolor teeth. The citric acids...

...efficient investigative products and services. As a result, the coverage requirements for ANACI and NACLC investigations have been enhanced to support a common content baseline for all agencies. Note that these enhancements apply only to those ANACI and NACLC cases submitted on an SF 86. The purpose of this FIN is to provide you with information concerning what case coverage changes have been made. The case price adjustments necessary to support these changes will be reflected in the FY 2007 case prices. ANACIINACLC Cases Currently, listed and developed issues which are identified in ANACI and NACLC cases (for non-DoD customers) are not pursued beyond the normal scope of the investigation. These cases are returned to the requesting agency so that the agency may decide whether to adjudicate the case based upon the information in hand, conduct additional follow-up themselves, or request a Reimbursable Suitability Investigation (RSI) from FISD to cover the additional issues. Beginning with FY 2007, expansion of these issues will become a standard part of both the ANACI and NACLC products. Effective October 1, 2006, issues apparent at scheduling or developed during the course of the investigation and which fall within the 5-year case coverage period, unless otherwise noted, will be expanded upon according to the following chart (exception: issues which are known to have been covered in previous investigations, or which would reasonably have been expected to...

...find that you would like even more time. I recommend that you enter the exam promptly since I will make deductions for those exceeding the 9:00 o'clock end time even if you enter late. Third, know that the legal reasoning essay will come from Module 4 on immunity. The variety of scenarios in that question will force you to think about and explain the nuances between sovereign and personal immunity, between absolute and qualified immunity, about loss of immunity, etc. You will want to understand all four cases from that module well before the exam. I will expect specific citations to the cases and the principles that they enunciate. An additional case that might be useful for you to look at is Canton v. Harris. A second question will address the rulemaking process and the principles underlying it. You should "walk into" the exam (in a virtual sense) with a clear sense of a fully articulated rulemaking process, so that you can pick and choose elements as appropriate in the case you will be presented. The third question will be drawn from the text regarding the Constitutional framework. Finally, remember that "open book" exams can be as challenging as closed book because the "bar" (the expectation) is higher. I think you will find that prior preparation will make a good deal of difference. As stated before, when you open the exam, answer the questions initially in word and copy it back to the exam. That way, you will not lose work, time...

...in which it is acceptable for anyone who has suffered a personal injury to seek compensatory damages through litigation from someone connected with the injury. It’s the idea that for every accident someone is at fault. For every injury, there is someone to blame. And, perhaps most damaging, for every accident, there is someone to pay. There are so many ridicilous cases througout history where people sue somebody or some company for no reason and get a lot of money from them. For example . A caretaker fell off a ladder and sued the local authority for not training him to use a ladder - and won.He could get up to 50.000 pounds compensation. One former ex policeman received nearly £90,000 compensation for the trauma of seeing a woman die after he crashed into her car during a 999 call .The husband of the woman killed by the policeman received £16,000 compensation. Policemen cause a tremendous number of accidents - so many, indeed, that one force has stopped its drivers from speeding. The effect is damaging to society. The courts become clogged up with greedy people out for themselves, many with no real case at all while other people with real compensation claims, the people disabled in accidents, crippled in operations or people who have lost loved ones due clear negligent behavior. All the other who just sue somebody with ridicilous acusations should be ashamed of themselves and I hope that in the future others avoid trying to cash in just because it seems so easy...
