The handmaid's tale How does sexuality a woman's way to be free in the Handmaid's tale? Humans are sexual beings. When we are born, we are affected by a sexual life. According to psychology, since we are born, we start to explore our body. When we are three years old, during our anal stage of sexual development, we start to discover our body. This is the stage in which we start to feel independent. By being social, the most things we are concerned are related to our sexual life. All our thoughts are occupied in how to use our body to reach something. To take advantage of someone. This makes us fill free. Because we own our body. And we can use it however we want to, whether it is to manipulate someone, or to kill it, in order to show that you own something, and that no regime, no one can make you feel totally possessed, because, at the end you will always own something: your body. Your sexuality. Your freedom. I believe that the author in the Handmaid's tale, places a theory, in which women seem to be totally degraded, but are in fact the main power. Because as the most important thing in the regime is to procreate, women are the ones who give birth, so I believe that it is through their body, how they control the society. And it is their sexuality their way to feel free, as they own their thoughts, and their feelings. Existentialists, state that human beings are able to

AS Biology Practical - Planning Exercise
Biology Practical Examination 1 (Part A - Planning Exercise) Aim: To investigate the effect of the concentration of calcium ions on the coagulation of milk. Scientific Knowledge and Prediction[1][2][3][4][5] The major proteins in milk are the caseins; ?-caseins, ß-caseins and ?-caseins which a group of small phosphoproteins that are able to easily form aggregates (called sub-micelles (see Fig 1.1)). In the presence of calcium ions, these sub-micelles can together form a larger aggregate called the casein micelles (see Figs 1.2 and 1.3). The enzyme rennin binds with ?-casein, forming an enzyme-substrate complex [3], hydrolysing a peptide bond and thus splitting it into two fragments (see Fig 2). The fragment that does not remain part of the sub-micelle (the macropeptide) carries the carbohydrate units[1]; the loss of the carbohydrate 'coats' means that strong cross-links between micelles can be formed which is essentially the process of coagulation [1][4] (see Fig 3). Notice how all bonds between sub-micelles in a micelle contain calcium (Fig 1.2). Therefore without calcium ions, no bonds can be made between sub-micelles meaning that micelles can not be formed. Even if rennin did act on the ?-casein, no effect would take place due to the lack of micelles in the first place. Fig 1: Fig 2: Fig 3: Hypothesis: As long as there is plenty of substrate available, if the
A " best practice" is a process, technique, or innovative use of resources that represents the state-of-the-art industry behavior.
Rudolph F. June University at Buffalo (SUNY) Department of Engineering and Applied Science Principles of Engineering Management I EAS 521 (Fall 2002) Dr. Carl M. Chang Abstract: A " best practice" is a process, technique, or innovative use of resources that represents the state-of-the-art industry behavior. Firms making use of best practices in their supply chains can achieve significant improvements in cost, schedule, quality, performance, safety, environment, or other measurable factors that impact the bottom line in the organization. The role of engineering in the attainment of the benefits of utilizing best practice methods is critical. It is important to have engineers not only participate in these efforts, but play a lead role in their implementation. Introduction Supply chains are networks of logistic and manufacturing activities starting with raw material sourcing and ending with the distribution of finished goods to markets. A complete supply chain usually involves several companies and several production/warehouse facilities. The role of an engineer in the supply chain spans the many tasks beginning with project approval and ending with the building of the first production unit. Early efforts to define the supply chain of manufacturing ( similar to where I am employed ) focused on the business processes that began with securing materials for production

Geography of haiti.
Haiti is an independent country in the West Indies, west of the Dominican Republic, whom it shares the island of Hispaniola with. (Dominican Republic owns two thirds of the island, and Haiti owns the western third). The country is approximately 28,000 square kilometers and has a population of nearly 9 million people, which grows at an annual rate of 2.5%. Port-au-Prince is the country's capital and largest city. Haiti is defined by rough and mountainous terrain, and so has been named "land of mountains". It also has small coastal plains and river valleys. Haiti has a tropical climate, but lies in the middle of the hurricane belt and is prone to severe storms from June to October, with occasional flooding, earthquakes and periodic droughts. French and Creole are the official language of Haiti, as it was a French colony for a period of time. Today, Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, with a GDP of only $1,900, with two thirds of the people unemployed and three quarters living in poverty. Haiti's international debt is more than $1 billion. (www.cia.gov) Haiti has numerous development indicators to show how well the country is developing. The main ones are explained below, each with potential solutions to further develop the country and improve standards of living.

Branding - Briefly summarise the article.
DAUBRY JULIEN 01008906 Coursework 2: MK32003 Marketing policy BRANDING Part 1: Briefly summarise the article Branding is an old powerful strategy tool used to accelerate market awareness and acceptance of new products entering a market. It has been successful in the past, and has evolved as a way to attract and keep customers by promoting standing or image. The traditional role for a brand is to identify the product of an organisation, and its differential advantage throughout a name. Some firms have even considered that the brand was more important than the product itself, and have preferred spending money into branding more than in product research; but importance of the product is beginning to be emphasized. The most fundamental problem regarding the issue of branding is what name to use. A name should have four characteristics, including distinctiveness, relevance, memorability, and flexibility, to ensure success with branding. Subsequently, it is imperative to support it through appropriate advertising and communication, as there is a correlation between the level of advertising investment and the level of brand awareness achieved. Even successful brand owners have still to constantly keep their leading brand status. Corporate, industrial, and service organizations are becoming the future of marketers, using branding strategy. Two of the most utilized
Evaluate the techniques of the NSPCC Full Stop Campaign used to raise the awareness of the issue of child abuse in British Society.
Evaluate the techniques of the NSPCC Full Stop Campaign used to raise the awareness of the issue of child abuse in British Society. With the increasing number of child abuse cases in the UK it has become imperative that an effective preventative campaign reaches the general public. At least one child dies every week as a result of an adult's cruelty with more than 30,000 children being on child protection registers and over 600 more being added each week. The implementation of measures that may effectively influence the behaviour of these members of public that inflict the mistreatment are recognised, therefore as a vital aim of child abuse campaigns. Television child abuse campaigns are an important tool for reaching this aim; they complement, but do not replace however regular year long activities aimed at improving the lives of children. Through evaluating the NSPCC FULL STOP Campaign with particular emphasis on the 'Cartoon Child' advert, I aim to evaluate the success in raising awareness of the issue of child abuse in British society. In 1973 there were a reported 100 child deaths as a result of child abuse and in 2002 there is at least one child death every day making the figure a shocking 365 at the lowest. This is an increase of over 250 in 29 years. When thinking of this in the light of children's lives lost through no fault of their own it is an alarming
Competition in Industrial Economics
Competition in Industrial Economics I. Introduction "A contestable market is characterized by free entry and free exit."1 However the access to certain markets is difficult, because certain barriers of entry are erected. This essay will outline the role of barriers of entry into an industry as a device for the maintenance of a monopoly. As an initial step I will define what is meant by the term "barriers of entry". Second, I show up the different kinds of barriers that can be found. Third, I evaluate the different barriers to point out whether they are significant for maintaining a monopoly or not. Finally I give two examples of nowadays barriers that can be found in the UK. II. Barriers of entry - a Definition The number of firms in a competitive market in the long run depends on the possibility of firms to enter and exit this market. A market with free entry and exit is characterized as follows: "A firm enters the market if it can make a long run profit, ? > 0. A firm exists the market to avoid a long-run loss, ? < 0."2 Such markets have no barriers or fixed cost to entry, and therefore firms can easily enter and exit. Good examples are construction firms that just offer labour services: they will enter the market if they can make profit and will exit if they can't. Firms that follow this "hit-and-run" tactic are likely to enter and exit several times a year. However
Why would it be useful for international traders to build up knowledge of the global distribution of income and wealth and how it is changing over time?
International trading 5th of November 2010 Actual word count: 1407 International trading has been around for centuries. Nowadays nations are globalizing, governments are investing in their own nations and in other counties. In the meantime countries are combining together and the revolution of technology has made communication across borders easier. True the innovation of technology global trade adopted a new twist. Therefore international traders are able to do business across the world. Therefore it is for global trade important to gain knowledge of the global distribution, as well as the income and the wealth of a country. In the meantime understanding the overall chances over the time regarding these factors might help their business. Improvement of technology and globalization has lead to social, distribution and industrial development. Business these days can operate on lager scale and communicate better and faster.
