The sun undergoes a cycle of increased and decreased activity over a period of approximately 11 years.
TMA 02 S269 Question One (a) The sun undergoes a cycle of increased and decreased activity over a period of approximately 11 years. The difference of incident radiation is quite small, in 1979 at the peak of activity the solar flux was only 0.2% higher than that of the minimum solar flux during that cycle in 1983. Increases in activity are monitored by measuring the percentage of the sun's surface covered by sun spots. Although sunspots are relatively cold areas on the sun's surface they are accompanied by faculae which are areas of intense activity. These can be visualised using X-ray photography, and the total solar flux reaching the Earth is measured using a satellite borne radiometer. (b) The Earth's orbit around the sun is not circular and neither is it regular. Over a period of 110,000 years the orbit migrates from being almost circular to a greater degree of eccentricity to being almost circular again. This is the only factor which effects the total amount of the sun's radiation that reaches the Earth. The change in the shape of the Earth's orbit is caused by fluctuations in the effect of the sun's gravitational pull in combination with that of other planets, especially Jupiter and Saturn. The changing shape of the orbit means that the sun and the Earth are at different distances from each other at different times during the orbits and at different orbital shapes,

'In plot, in imagery, in structure, Richard II offers us little that is not already present or implicit in Edward II.' Assess Shakespeare's debt to Marlowe in this play. It was the very nature of the Renaissance writers to use as their subjects base a story or myth that had already been told. Renaissance means 're-birth' and their idea of creativity did not include originality, to show their skill was to take a plot that had already been told either by history, a predecessor or their contemporaries and to rework it and in doing so surpass it. "The object of history for many Renaissance writers was to learn the mistakes of the past in order to avoid them in the future." (Smith, viii). Our modern idea, received from the Romantics, of having to have originality to be able to create a best-seller was not what the Renaissance was about at all, in fact it was the opposite. The Renaissance period was about reliving what their ancestors had already achieved and being able to learn from their mistakes and advances. To be accused of having massive debt to a writer was neither uncommon nor frowned upon, and so to say Shakespeare's Richard II is indebted to Marlowe's Edward II is no slander on Shakespeare, it would only be slander if it was said that Shakespeare used an immaculate play and destroyed it in trying to rework it. However, the circumstances that are unusual in this case is
Why was Trench Warfare so terrible
Why was Trench Warfare so terrible? The first thing to do is to define 'terrible' because it helps to answer the question with full meaning. The dictionary definition of the word is; "causing fear, dread or terror, exceptionally bad or displeasing or intensely, extremely bad or unpleasant in degree or quality." Most of these suggest conditions were almost impossible to bear and it was hard to 'see the bright side'. World War 1 was like nothing that had ever happened in the world before. Almost no-one except the ruling politicians agreed with it, which has been proven by soldier's diaries, and most famously the football match between the British and the Germans on Christmas Day 1914. What began as a rapid war of movement soon settled down to static trench warfare and became a brutal war of attrition. Both the Germans and the French and British began digging trenches to stay alive. Eventually parallel trench systems stretched from the Swiss border to the English Channel. There were about 40,000 kilometres of trenches on the Western Front alone. And so Trench warfare became a huge part of World War 1. What did the trenches look like? How did this make conditions terrible? The trench environment affected the way in which a soldier was able to deal with life during the war. The company in a man's battalion, the danger risks and the access to basic humanities could greatly vary
Database Design
AVCE ICT UNIT 6 Database Design HMV I have chosen to design a new database system for HMV for this assignment so that they will be able to store information about their customers, suppliers, employees, order details, different products and shippers. HMV is the UK and Ireland's leading specialist retailer of Music, DVD/Video, computer games and related products. The company operates around 200 stores in key shopping locations nationwide, covering up to over 1million sq. ft. of trading space, as well as having a successful online store at www.hmv.co.uk. HMV's very first store was officially opened in July 1921 by the celebrated British composer, Sir Edward Elgar on London's Oxford Street. Since that time, the company have become better and more popular with the public. HMV is dedicated to offering its customers access to the widest possible range of recorded music titles, DVD's and computer games across all formats. Current problem with the company The main problem with the company currently is that most of their business is done by paperwork. This can lead to the staffs becoming very busy and not having time to do other work. It is also space consuming because the company will have to buy files and filing cabinets which may get full quickly and they may have to pay more in order to get extra space for the files and records. Other then these two problems because of

Great Expectations - How successful do you think Pip is in his quest to become a gentleman? What does Pip learn from his adventures?
How successful do you think Pip is in his quest to become a gentleman? What does Pip learn from his adventures? To determine how successful Pip is as a gentleman, we must firstly define what a gentleman is. A gentleman can either be socially successful, or morally successful. During his expectations, Pip changes and does many things that make him successful, and others that make him less successful as a gentleman, both morally and socially. Pip's Expectations are started when he first meets Estella, the adopted daughter of Miss Havisham when Pip is a young boy. He immediately becomes attracted to Estella's charms and good looks. She does not return this admiration; she calls Pip 'coarse and common'. In Chapter Seventeen, Pip tells Biddy that he wants to become a gentleman for Estella's sake. His expectations here are not primarily social, they are romantic. As Pip's motives for being a gentleman are romance, rather than social or moral standings, we can see that to start with, Pip has got his priorities wrong, which later on will not help him to be successful Before Pip leaves his hometown, he has already become a bit of a snob; he already looks down at Joe for the way he acts, Pip tells Biddy 'Joe is rather backward in some things' (Chapter Nineteen). Biddy does not feel that Pip is a gentleman, she feels that 'a gentleman should not be unjust', and she feels
COMPARING CADBURYS AND OXFAM
Introduction 2 Oxfam's history 2 Oxfam's Legal status 3 Oxfam's Suitability to being a registered charity 4 Oxfam's stakeholders/ how the influence them 5 Reason Cadburys are in business 6 Cadburys Aim and Objectives 7 Evaluations Introduction For this next part in comparing two contrasting business I have chosen to write about Oxfam which is a world known registered charity. I will be finding looking at all the aspects that influences Oxfam. Oxfam History According to Oxfam's website throughout the Second World War, Greece was occupied by the Nazis. In 1941, the Allies imposed a naval blockade, and barely any food or medical supplies could get through, even to civilians. Famine rapidly took grip the Greek nation. Due to this in May 1942 a nations Famine Relief Committee was set up, as well as support groups were formed throughout the UK. Their core purpose was to persuade the British government to allow essential supplies through the blockade. In the series of the national relief effort, a number of people came together to form the Oxford Committee for Famine Relief. In the midst of its founding members were Regius Professor of Greek at Oxford, Canon T R Milford of the University Church and Professor Gilbert Murray, a member of the national Committee and former. Also with theirs members was the commitment of a London
Human Resource management
Michael Stephens MROS Human Resource management Assignment 2Motivational Practice Businesses use different motivational techniques to keep employees happy, it is important to keep employees happy so that the work effectively and efficiently. The HR department will spend lots on different ideas to try and keep their employees working hard often including rewards for hard work or constant attendance or even by in some cases punishing workers for not working to their potential. I will look into different cultures, motivational theories and techniques, job satisfaction, the importance of management styles, is money the only motivator and employee demotivation. Examples of motivational techniques In 1943 Abraham Maslow suggested that all people have a hierarchy of needs. He said that a person is motivated by his or her own needs, so he developed this pyramid. He believed that once someone had achieved one level of needs then they would want to move onto a higher level of need. Douglas McGregor's X and Y theory In the 1960's Douglas McGregor developed the ideas of theory X and theory Y. Theory X is the view that people really don't want to do work and if they can avoid doing the work in anyway they will try to. This means that they are being persuaded to work by being given money or rewards and must be closely supervised and controlled so that they will do their work.
When I did, I almost wanted to die...there was not a scratch of clothing on me...ashamed of being found in such a state, I ran in all directions to fetch something...anything...there it was...my boat...wrecked on the great grey rocks
CASTAWAY ON A DESERTED ISLAND INSTRUCTIONS: Type in Font size 12 June 1st 1960 Items: Knife, cock, hen, rope, blanket Location: Unknown st JUNE, 1960 The sun was at its peak, its sharp rays penetrating through my thin eyelids; blinding me. They were not rays of warmth, no, they were more like spears, torturing me to open my eyes. No, I couldn't open my eyes, I wouldn't! My dream... I couldn't possibly leave it unfinished!... I was back in my childhood, climbing the stairs of what seemed like a huge hall, I could hear the crowd roaring...my name!...I was getting the 'Best Student of the year award'...oh... the pride, its was glorious... but the skin on my back burned...I was smiling...but then, why were my eyes blinded with this strange red light? Curiosity rose within...was I dead? No I couldn't be...but perhaps...yes..., the scene from the great hall had transformed into beautiful cloud patterns...somewhere up in the sky...I was watching them drift slowly... the big round fluffy shapes looked so beautiful...so heaven-like...I wanted to get up and see where I was...it was difficult to come out of that splendid dream...I lifted my arm to my forehead...but it wouldn't move!... terrified, I looked sideways, only to find that my neck felt jammed and ached badly... so I wasn't dead...thanks be to God! The sea was roaring...besides it happened just a week ago...but it seems
