Medwynter From: Jordache Wilson, Michelle Ambersley, Kadene McPherson, Kerry-Ann Samuels, and Daniela Thomas Date: November Subject: .0 INTRODUCTION 2.0 SUMMARY Windmere Corporation is one of the largest US suppliers of various personal care products, professional sales products, home electrical appliances, environmental products and hotel amenities. Most of these products were manufactured by their subsidiary Durable in Hong Kong and mainland China. These subsidiaries were low cost producers and were able to constantly improve and expand their facilities due to Durables success in the early 1980's. However, this all change in the late 1980's with the unstable economic environment in United States, which led to a decrease in the demand for Durable products. This circumstance coupled with political environment in China and the higher tariff on Chinese imports and United States legislative changes, made Windmere Chinese import into the United States uncompetitive. Consequently, the Windmere Corporation tried to expand their sales by creating different brands for each product line, upgrading mature product, developing

Acceptance of death is one of the main themes of Emily Dickinson's poem, "Because I could not stop for death" Only published in 1886 after her death; it puts the reader in a first person perspective, following her funeral carriage as it is drawn by horses to her burial. Unlike conventional poems where death is a dark bad thing, in "could not stop", Dickinson describes death warmly, personifying it as a civil gentleman; while also using many metaphors and imagery to explore the themes of the poem The first two stanza's of the poem set the slow, dark tone of the poem, which is started with an in media res, "because", giving the reader the sense that they are joining the story part way through and signifying that most of the speakers life is already over. The carriage then makes its first appearance, being described as holding "Ourselves - And Immortality", ourselves referring to her with death, and immortality referring to the religious afterlife where she expects to live forever. Throughout the poem Dickinson slows the pace down with constant uses of hyphens and in stanza two combines this with the adverb "slowly" to slow the pace down further. The frequent pauses give the sense that Dickinson is reflecting on what she is writing and gives a certain spontaneity to the piece. Dickinson concludes the stanza writing that she "put away [her] labour and leisure for his civility",

Outline the various stages in the development of warfare since the middle of the 19th century
GV:1600 - OUTLINE THE VARIOUS STAGES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF WARFARE SINCE THE MIDDLE OF THE 19TH CENTURY Technology defines the strategic agenda of a nation at any given time; in particular, the concepts of war, crisis, terrorism and therefore military warfare. Military technology has allowed for Inter-Continental Ballistic Missiles, Precision Guided Munitions, Long Range Theatre Nuclear Weapons, Ballistic Missile-Carrying Submarines and many more. New military concepts have arisen out from the advancement of military technology, for example arms races or Mutually Assured Destruction; all of these complex military terminologies were unheard of in the middle of the 19th century, therefore showing how drastic warfare has developed since then. As military warfare has an extremely strong influence on the state of international relations as it affects the balance of power and the polarity of the world, it is important to understand both why and how the wars that happen today have expanded. The industrial revolution in the middle of the 19th century brought about a fundamental transformation in military technology; gone were the cavalry wars with spears as weapons and castles as defence, in was the mass production of war machinery. Nearly every aspect of warfare changed, and has been advancing and increasing ever since. The firepower of guns and bombs evolved from 3/4 rounds per

CLOSE STUDY OF TEXT - Othello Assessment Task Term 2 Task 1: Oral Presentation Othello is the ultimate story of doomed love, passion and revenge, and is a story that has been reworked by many producers, writers and directors. One such production is the 1997 Royal Shakespeare Company play titled "Othello", directed by Michael Attenborough. The production was presented at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Shakespeare's birthplace, Stratford. Throughout it, Attenborough portrays his interpretation of the turbulent tragedy via the communication of the plot and characters that make up the production, lighting and sound techniques, as well as the central themes in it. The play is set in the Edwardian period in the early twentieth century, and opens with Othello standing in the midst of a racist British colonial military camp. The unique context - 'a militaristic world' according to Logan, is thus suggested from the beginning. Furthermore, from looking at a number of photos that were taken of the production, it was clear that Attenborough's play was presented in a very large theatre. There was also one review which said that because of the large, a very big cast was used. Lois Potter suggests that because the production relied on spectacle, 'it was largely through visual rather than verbal means that it achieved poetic quality'. Attenborough presented characters like Desdemona
Why did WW1 break out in 1914?
Why did WW1 break out in 1914? World War One was caused by many reasons however the four main causes were Militarism, Nationalism, Imperialism and Alliances. Reason such as revenge and power influenced the war majorly. I will be going into more detail why the World War One triggered. Militarism was a long-term cause of the war which built up the tension. In 1900 Britain’s navy was still by far the largest in the work. Kaiser William II (the grandson of Queen Victoria) was jealous and hated that Britain had stronger navy than his. Kaiser increased Germany and constructed several warships. He designated lots of money for the expansion of the German navvy in 1897. Britain did the same and this began a race for building more and better warships. Germany was competing with the UK to build battle ships. The British feared an attack on their Empire. In opinion I think the most significant cause was system of Alliances because if there wasn’t any alliance there would be no war. Alliances were agreements or promises between two or more countries that allow them to support and help another. If other countries didn’t start coming into Austria-Hungary’s war with Serbia, it would not have turned into a major war. This was the cause that involved may other countries into the war. The countries involved in World War One were Austria–Hungary, Germany, Britain, Italy, Russia and
Eu Directives Problem Case. Difficulties arise in situations such as the one faced by Gunilla, where Directives are improperly transposed or ignored by the implementing national authority.
Define directives with the help of case laws? This scenario exposes a discrepancy in the legal system of the European Community in relation to the enforcement of Directives. As a consequence, after a general commentary about directives advice will be given to Gunilla accordingly. Generally speaking, sources of European Community law take precedence over all forms of national law. However, it is not appropriate to apply the same treatment to EC legal instruments en masse. Certain forms of EC legislation differ in terms of their characteristics and the way in which they deliver enforceable law. DEFINATION OF DIRECTIVES: The Treaty of Rome specifies, in Article 249, that Directives are:- "binding, as to the result to be achieved, upon each Member State to which they are addressed, but shall leave to the national authorities the choice of form and methods."1 Moreover, Member States may decide that the existing legal framework they have already ensures that the objectives of the Directive can be obtained by enforcing the already existing legal rules and no further measures are necessary. Despite this flexibility, Member States are obliged to make sure that the objectives of the Directive are attained. For this purpose they are obliged to take the necessary measures for implementation or confirmation as to whether the national law already contains the rules ensuring the

Analysis The play opens with Nora and the porter, and it immediately puts the spotlight on money, which emerges as one of the forces driving the play's conflicts as it draws lines between genders, classes, and moral standards. Though Nora owes the porter a shilling, she gives him a pound, twenty times the value, presumably because she is infused with the holiday spirit. While Nora likes to spend and allows the idea of buying presents to block out financial concerns, Torvald holds a more pragmatic view of money, jokingly calling Nora a spendthrift and telling her that she is completely foolish when it comes to financial matters. Torvald's assertion that Nora's lack of understanding of money matters is the result of her gender "Nora, my Nora, that is just like a woman" reveals his prejudiced viewpoint on women. He quickly makes it known that appearances are very important to him, and that Nora is like an ornament or trophy that serves to his home and his reputation. Nora's first conversation with Mrs. Linde plays a key role in establishing Nora's childlike, self-centered, and insensitive character. Though she claims to be interested in Mrs. Linde's problems, Nora repeatedly turns the conversation back to her own life with Torvald. Nora's self-centeredness is further demonstrated in her revelation that she failed to write to Mrs. Linde after her husband passed away. It is

B) On the basis of a discussion of one or two passages explain why you think Stoker included Quincy Morris and Van Helsing in the Crew of Light. In the course of your answer, look closely at: o The effects of the presentation of the characters o Stoker's opinion of the Empire and foreigners o How the passages you have chosen contribute to the presentation of foreigners in the text as a whole. In Bram Stoker's novel, Dracula, we see the epic conflict between Dracula, the degenerate aristocrat, and the respectability of emerging middle class values represented in the Crew of Light. Two key members of this Crew of Light are Quincy Morris, the honourable and reliable soldier and Abraham Van Helsing, the master of things obscure and occult and the ice cool analyst. This essay will focus on the role and purpose of these two characters in Bram Stoker's novel. To do this I have selected two specific passages from the text of Dracula. The first passage is at p.50, and is a letter describing Quincy Morris. Lucy Westernera, a friend and suitor to Quincy, writes the letter. The second passage, pp.93-4, is a letter written about Van Helsing from his friend and former student, Dr Seward. Both these passages give us insights as to the character of the two men. Whilst being an important member of the Crew of Light, Quincy Morris is also perceived as being non-threatening as a

A02 In this part of the essay I am going to show how members of the Baptist and Catholic Churches try to live out what they have celebrated in Church. The actual meaning of the word Eucharist is 'thanksgiving', when Christians of all denominations gather together to ay thank to you God for all he has done for us, much like the American feast of thanksgiving, the Eucharist is a time of community, unity and solidarity, as by sharing the bread and wine together as a family, we are symbolizing that we are sons and daughters of God. In this part of the question I will use quotations from the scriptures to explain how we as Christians should live out our lives outside of church. Firstly in John's Gospel Jesus says 'I have a new commandment to give you, Love one-another as I have loved you. A man can show no greater love than to lay down his life for his friends'. This is a very powerful and important quotation, because it pretty much sums up how we should live our lives, in general it tells us that we must love one-another as Jesus loved us, so we must care about our friends as well as our enemies, it also tell us that the greatest love we can show is to lay down our lives for our friends, I believe that there is a literal and non-literal meaning to this, literal because if anyone was about to be knocked down by a car then it is the duty of any good Christian, as it is such a
