...Frequently we see a struggle for control within relationships as in relationships there are both subtle and overt ways in which partners seek to exercise control.According to Kate Chopin, relationships reduced to one person’s will controlling another, or sometimes the internal struggle is internal between one person’s conflicting desires.As such it is my intention to examine [Chekhov's] “ The lady with the pet dog” and [Faulkner’s] “A Rose for Emily” and to highlight how control is exercised by the protagonist in both pieces. Anton Chekhov wrote a short story in 1899, entitled "The Lady with the Pet Dog." It depicts an affair involving Anna and Gurov. The story occurs in a Russian town called Yalta. At the beginning of the story, Gurov is "pushed" into having affairs; just as he was pushed...

...didn't have much experience with dogs, so one day when I was at my parent’s friends house and they told me specifically not to pet the dog because he was vicious, I ignored them because I thought I could train him to be my friend. That day I developed a conditioned emotional response (p. 173) to dogs, the dog was chained to the ground in the back yard, as I approached the him struggled against his leash as he barked at me. I stood in front of him until he stopped barking then reached out my hand, without any hesitation he leaped and bit me in between my thumb and pointer finger. The UCS was the dog biting me and my involuntary response was fear which is the UCR. Afterwards, for many years whenever I saw a dog leaping towards me, I would experience a jolt of fear because the sight of a dog leaping got turned into the CS after it was paired with the UCS which causes the CR which is fear. 4 An interesting experiment that was reported by the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering came out on March 17, 2016, http://www.livescience.com/43795-nightmares-linked-to-psychosis.html may have developed a way to build fully functioning neurons which may provide a new treatment for neurodegenerative diseases. The success was in a structure called a scaffold, a supportive structure made of polymer fibers that the stem cells adhere to. The experiment involved injecting special micro scaffold stem cells into slices of mice brains, and then comparing the electrical activity to...

...rLiterary Analysis on Midsummer by Manuel Arguilla By gaaabilagan | March 2013 * Zoom In * Zoom Out Page 1 of 3 Set in a very hot summer day, Manuel Arguilla’s Midsummer is a story with a very short and simple plot. It is basically a story of a man meeting a very beautiful Filipina woman by the well in a sizzling summer day. It starts off with the man and his cart tied to his bull on a long dry road when he suddenly sees a woman who stood unmoving watching the man come towards her. The woman was described from head to toe with such detail as the man looked from a distance. The man followed the woman to the where she went and led him to the well under a big mango tree. He watched her as she filled the jar and placed it on top of her head. The woman leaves and the man goes to the well and gathers water for his bull and himself while still thinking of the woman. The man then eats his dinner under the shade of the tree when the woman comes back to refill her jar. As she fills her jar the man invites the woman referring to her as Ading, to eat with her. The woman then addresses the man as Manong and thankfully refuses his invitation to eat as she herself just ate. They converse and suddenly the woman spills water all over the food and apologizes by getting him water but the Manong insists that he fetch it from the well. Ading notices Manong’s well built muscles and body as he fetches water, showing her how strong he is. He drinks his water as Ading lifts the bucket for him...

...Abstract Brands play a critical role in a firm's international marketing strategy. A coherent international brand architecture is a key component of the firm's overall international marketing strategy as it provides a framework to leverage strong brands into other markets, assimilate acquired brands, and rationalize the firm's international branding strategy. This paper looks at the various components of international brand architecture and the different types of architecture found among a sample of large international consumer goods companies. Based on these initial insights, some key issues that need further research are identified. Introduction Branding is a key element of a firm’s marketing strategy. Strong brands help establish the firm's identity in the market place, and develop a solid customer franchise (Aaker, 1996; Kapferer, 1997; Keller, 1998). Owning the number one or two brand in the product category provides manufacturers withas well as providing a weapon to counter growing retailer power (Barwise and Robertson, 1992). A strong brand name Theycan also provide the basis for brand extensions, which further strengthen the firm's position in the marketplace as well as potentially enhancing the brand’s value (Aaker and Keller, 1990). As firms move into international markets, branding plays an important role in its marketing strategy. In particular, a cautious branding strategy provides a means to enhance the firm’s visibility and integrate strategy across...

You are the manager of 2 small stores with production functions q = K¼L¼ and a larger store with production function q = 2K¼L¼. You hire capital for $4, labour for $1. When you took over this role, your boss told you that Q = 24 was the profit maximizing output for this multi-plan firm: 24 = q1 + q2 + q3. Now, the price of labour rises to $4. Provide (i) Isoquant/Isocost diagrams, (ii) Total Cost and (iii) Marginal Cost diagrams. Illustrate the substitution effect (point a to b) and output effect (point b to c) on these diagrams. Explain why your firm uses less capital even when the price of labour increases. (September 2010) For the production function q = K2 + L2 (A) Demonstrate that the elasticity of substitution is negative. (B) Provide a labelled diagram showing the q = 100 isoquant (C) Briefly explain what a negative value means for σ 3. 4. A special production function is q = min( 80K, 4L1 + 2L2). Discuss the production process described by this function. Is this production function constant returns to scale? Five-year-old Jack has set up a hot chocolate stand outside his home.

...HARRY POTTER AND THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN BY J.K. ROWLING CHAPTER ONE OWL POST Harry Potter was a highly unusual boy in many ways. For one thing, he hated the summer holidays more than any other time of year. For another, he really wanted to do his homework but was forced to do it in secret, in the dead of night. And he also happened to be a wizard. It was nearly midnight, and he was lying on his stomach in bed, the blankets drawn right over his head like a tent, a flashlight in one hand and a large leather-bound book (A History of Magic by Bathilda Bagshot) propped open against the pillow. Harry moved the tip of his eagle-feather quill down the page, frowning as he looked for something that would help him write his essay, ‘Witch Burning in the Fourteenth Century Was Completely Pointless — discuss.’ The quill paused at the top of a likely looking paragraph. Harry pushed his round glasses up the bridge of his nose, moved his flashlight closer to the book, and read: Non-magic people (more commonly known as Muggles) were particularly afraid of magic in medieval times, but not very good at recognizing it. On the rare occasion that they did catch a real witch or wizard, burning had no effect whatsoever. The witch or wizard would perform a basic Flame-Freezing Charm and then pretend to shriek with pain while enjoying a gentle, tickling sensation. Indeed, Wendelin the Weird enjoyed being burned so much that she allowed herself to be caught no less than forty-seven times in various...

He did not simply speak it into being as He did the beast of the field and the fowls of the air. He carefully put it together step by step. God put man to sleep and from his side took a rib and formed the woman. Not stopping there, God took the woman by the hand and led her to Adam. Therefore marriage is a unique relationship, having its root in divinity (Gen. 2:22). However, marriage and family life, a thing of joy, pleasure, and high esteem at creation is now treated by many as a necessary evil and looked at by some disdainfully. "Those in it want to rush out and those outside want to rush in," they say. This has resulted in the fast disintegration of the marriage unit and subsequently the family. Statistics indicate that the decline of marriage and the family...
