The ownership of business.

The ownership of business Private Business Sole Trader This is a person who decides to set up the business on her/his behalf. There mite be other people who work for the owner but the business to be quite small, if, quite possibly, very profitable. An example is a Chinese Takeaway or a Fish and chip shop. Partnership From 2 -20 people who get together to run a business. They will probably employ other people to work for them. But ownership belongs to the partners. A firm of solicitors ,architects or doctors is a good example. Private Limited Company ( PLC ) These companies may start as family running affairs and develop. The reference to 'limited' means the extent to which owners are liable for the financial affairs of the company if they owe money or crease trading and have to pay off debts. If 1000 shares are available for issues and Henry Smith has Three of them he is responsible for three thousandths, 0.3%, of the debts the company owes. As a sole trader it would have been 100% and as partner receives which makes the proportion of liability for debts. Public Limited companies PLC or plc follows the trading name, as in Lloyds TSB plc. These tend to be large organization which has shares in vast numbers. These shares have value which quoted on the Stock Exchange. Franchise These are business run using the trading name of a much larger company. For instance

Both 'Tony Kytes, The Arch Deceiver' and 'Late Night On Watling Street' are about deception.

Both 'Tony Kytes, The Arch Deceiver' and 'Late Night On Watling Street' are about deception. Tony Kytes, 'The Arch Deceiver' is a story that focuses on a very simple workingman in the nineteenth century. The story is based around a journey that Tony takes coming from market back to his hometown of Longpuddle. On this journey he is faced with three young women who he has admired and one to which he is nearly engaged. The story exposes Tony's immature and foolish behaviour as he tries deceiving each of the women for his personal satisfaction. The second story 'Late Night On Watling Street' by Bill Naughton is another story of deception, but set in the late twentieth century. The main character Jackson, a lorry driver and unlike Tony in the first story, he is portrayed as a much 'deeper character', but to what depths are not known until the final paragraphs of the story reveal a quite sinister character. The story revolves around a group of drivers who regularly ride up and down Watling Street and know each other from frequent visits at a well-respected café on route. In the story Jackson seems to have had a relationship with Ethel, the café owners' wife, but the story keeps the reader in suspense of its exact nature. However, the story uses this theme to emphasise the consequence of Jackson's ultimate deceit. Onlookers narrate both stores. In 'The Arch Deceiver' the

We are going to set up the diagram above and measure the resistance across the wire by measuring the current and voltage then working out the resistance using R=V/I.

Wires Coursework for GCSE. Area P-Planning We are going to set up the diagram above and measure the resistance across the wire by measuring the current and voltage then working out the resistance using R=V/I. The variables that will change are the resistance setting on the protective resistor and the cross sectional area of the wire-we will change the thickness of the wire and see how the resistance is affected. When the protective resistance is changed the current and voltage will change but the resistance should remain the same. The thicker the wire, the less resistance. I think the things that might affect the resistance of the wire are the area, the number of items (eg bulbs), the brightness or power needed to operate the item, whether it is in a series circuit or parallel circuit, the current and the power supply. We calculate resistance using the formula R=V/I, where R=resistance, V=voltage and I=current. Voltage divided by current gives us the resistance, as voltage is the number of volts wanting to pass through the wire, whilst the current tells us how many are passing through at that point. To change the wire diameter, we will use different wires. There are 8 wires we are going to use and they have diameters of: 0.315 0.559 0.376 0.234 0.712 0.193 0.457 0.274 During our experiments, we will note down specific details. We will take readings of the

AO3 In This unit I am gong analyse the product knowledge required by employees of the organisation. The organisation that I am going to analyse is Alton Towers. Product knowledge can be very important to staff because this could ensure customer satisfaction is more efficient. Product knowledge can be done by knowing where certain products or structures are. If the organisation provides a wide range of products then this can count towards good customer service. This is because if the customer wanted something the company would be organised and the staff would be punctual with what they are delivering. If they did this then it would reduce the amount of problems and this could cause very few complaints. Product knowledge is very important to an organisation. This is because if a customer asks a question about a product or service they wish to buy, they expect their question to be answered accurately. Being able to answer the question accurately and efficiently shows a good level of customer service. Customers are likely to ask a range of questions about the products and services an organisation provides. Examples of the sort of questions staff need to be able to answer are locations of rides, opening and closing times of the park and prices of food or merchandise. A good level of customer service would be if the staff where able to answer customer questions accurately and

The Bradshaw Trail

Bryce Lovejoy P-3 1-6-03 Mr. Chew The Bradshaw Trail The Bradshaw Trail may not have been one of the most significant things in our history but Mr. Bradshaw and it do play an important roll in the history of California. This book is practically split into two. Half of it is about the man William D. Bradshaw and the other half is about the trail, its history and some of events that occurred on it. First about the man, William D. Bradshaw. He was born in 1826 in Buncobe County, North Carolina. He was the youngest if five brothers. His parents were Mary Davis Bradshaw and his father Christopher Bradshaw. When he was young he loved geography and he was a pretty good shot with a gun. For a week at a time, at the age of 8, he would leave his home and wander around just living off the land. When he was the age of 17 he and his two brothers Isaac and John left home and headed west to Arizona. He ended up wandering Arizona and New Mexico for years at a time. He eventually moved to California. A few years later he joined the Bear Flag Rebellion. Some of the time believed that he might have not actually been a part of the rebellion, but on September 9th 1911 James Mc Christian found evidence that Bradshaw was in fact a part of the rebellion. The Bear Flag Rebellion was about a group of people that decided to hang the California State flag instead of the Mexican flag.

Explaining the Principle of mathematical induction

Explaining the Principle of mathematical induction: Formally the principle of a proof by induction can be stated as follows: A proposition P (n) involving a positive integer n, is true for all positive integral values of n if, P (1), and P (k) ? P (k +1) is true. This can be explained using a staircase as a simple analogy. Image the proposition that a man can climb a given uniform staircase, to prove this statement we need to show two things. These are that the man can get onto the first step and that he is able to climb from one step to an other. Now relating this to the formal principle of induction, the staircase can be considered the general proposition P (n). The first step of the staircase is P (1), the second P (2), the third P (3), and so on. If we can show that the man can get onto the first step P (1) then we have ironically finished the first step of proving the proposition. The second step would be to prove that he can get from one step to an other formally put P (k) ? P (k +1). If we can show this than it follows that man can get from the first to the second step, second to the third,... n steps. Thus it can be said that P (n) is true for all positive integral values of n. 2 Definition of the derivative function f (x) The derivative function is a general expression for the gradient of a curve at any given point. It is based on the principle of limiting

This sicknes There are many different causes of deaths out there. One of the major causes of death is diseases. There many different kinds of them out there. The number seven leading cause of death from a disease is pneumonia. In 2002, 64,954 people died of pneumonia (Pneumonia Facts Sheet). This is an infection of the lung that is either from bacteria, funguses, viral, or parasites. This is a very deadly infection if it goes untreated will kill you. Many people in the world die from this every year without even knowing that they even have it. At one point of my life I went into the hospital with severe chest pains. When I got there I found out that I had pneumonia in a quarter of one of my lungs and a little bit in my other lung. I will tell you it defiantly scared me to know end. So with this paper I am going to explain this disease and all of it consequences. Pneumonia is a medical condition that describes a result of a variety of diseases in which the small, air-filled sacs in the lung responsible for absorbing oxygen from the atmosphere are flooded with fluid. There are many different kinds of pneumonia, but the most common type results from infection of the lung by bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites. Other types can occur as a result of chemical or physical irritation of the lungs. Pneumonia is a common illness and occurs in all age groups.

Why are girls doing better than boys in school?

Research question Why are girls doing better than boys in school? Hypothesis Girls are doing better than boys because of social stigmas attached to the different sexes and expectations of society. The attitudes of the children and peer pressure are also to blame. Investigation I am investigating this hypothesis because I am interested in gender differences and would like to find out why girls are doing better than boys. For my secondary research I am going to investigate my hypothesis by looking at newspaper articles and analysing exam results. For my primary research I am going to observe 2 classes in a covert participant observation, one year 10 class and one year 12 six form class. This way I can see if there is a difference at A level than G.C.S.E level. I will observe their behaviour, work rate and relationship with the teacher. I will hand out a questionnaire to teachers and pupils with an equal ratio of males and females. I think these methods are best to use because I can get an understanding of how men and women view this issue differently and why people think this is happening. My target population are teachers and pupils. I will pick a random sample, although I will choose equal numbers of males and females. I may have problems with my research because I people may not necessarily behave the same way if they suspect I am observing them and they may not

I am going to investigate respiration in crickets and how temperature varies the rate of respiration.

Planning I am going to investigate respiration in crickets and how temperature varies the rate of respiration. The calculation for aerobic respiration is: Oxygen + Glucose Carbon dioxide + water + energy 6O2 + C6H12O6 6CO2 +6H2O + (J) I will do the experiment safely by making sure that the water will not be too hot or too cold, this is a safety precaution for me as well as the crickets. As we don't want to cause the crickets too much distress or pain. It will be a fair test and accurate because I will: * Use the same crickets * Same mass of crickets * Let the crickets return to room temperature * Reset the measuring device after each experiment * Do each experiment 3 times to get an average I predict that the lower the temperature the lower the rate of respiration. Equipment list: * 2 beakers- a lager one that will hold the different temperatures of water, a smaller one to hold the ink marker. * Crickets- to test on * Bung- containing delivery tube and waste (reset) tube * Ink- to mark distance on the scale * Delivery tube with scale on- to mark distance * CO2 remover- to remove the CO2 * Excess tube for reset. I will measure the amount of oxygen used by the crickets by measuring how far the ink marker has traveled up the scale, the rate of respiration at different temperatures and conditions. The variables that affect the rate of

The sales environment in Newfoundland and Labrador presents unique challenges.

INTRODUCTION The sales environment in Newfoundland and Labrador presents unique challenges. Not only does thee geography pose a challenge to sales managers, but it also lacks ethnic diversity. Competition in Newfoundland and Labrador can also be challenging with the province's number of close-knit communities. The shrinking population and ""Brain Drain"" often leads to challenges with recruiting new salespeople. Furthermore, people from outside of the province are often unfamiliar with Newfoundland businesses and its markets. This lack of knowledge is often cause for lack of exposure for Newfoundland companies to the rest of the country. To properly research sales management in Newfoundland and Labrador, it was necessary to interview a local sales manager to obtain information on personal experiences. For the purpose of this report, we interviewed Mr. Peter Kapyrka of Robinson-Blackmore Printing and Publishing. Mr. Kapyrka's background in sales began with being a salesman for 10 years. These 10 years brought with them the responsibilities of calling on several national agencies in Toronto and Montreal. Mr. Kapyrka was also a sales manager for six years and a sales trainer for three years. As Robinson-Blackmore's Vice President of Publishing, he is currently responsible for all of Robinson-Blackmore's advertising sales, both locally and nationally. The role of
