...Macroeconomics Term Paper: Wells Fargo in Ireland | | | | | | Wells Fargo was founded in 1852 by Henry Wells and William G. Fargo and opened for business in the gold rush port of San Francisco. Wells Fargo offered banking (buying gold and selling paper bank drafts as good as gold) and express delivery of the gold and anything else valuable. By the 1860s, Wells Fargo earned everlasting fame and its corporate symbol, the stagecoach. In 1888, Wells Fargo became the country’s first nationwide express company. By 1918, Wells Fargo was part of 10,000 communities across the country, however that year the federal government took over the nation’s express network as part of its effort in the First World War and Wells Fargo was left with just one bank in San Francisco eventually expanding in 1923 to two banking halls. In the 1980s, Wells Fargo expanded into a statewide bank, became the seventh largest bank in the nation, and launched its online service. In the 1990s, Wells Fargo returned to its historic territory throughout the Western, Midwestern and Eastern states. Today, Wells Fargo provides banking, insurance, investments, mortgage, and consumer and commercial finance through more than 9,000 stores, 12,000 ATMs, and the Internet (wellsfargo.com), and has offices in more than 35 countries to support the bank’s customers who conduct business in the global economy.

...These pages were downloaded from Writing Personal Statements Online, available at https://www.e-education.psu.edu/writingpersonalstatementsonline/ Short Personal Statement by a Geology Student Growing up in Canada with a life-long fascination for Canadian geography, I have always been interested in returning to the country. Although my family moved to the US before I entered high school, I have always kept my eyes turned north, especially in recent years as I began to read journal articles about research conducted on John Evans Glacier, located about 80° N latitude. Graduating next semester with a B.S. in computer science and engineering and a minor in geographic information systems, I am interested in attending the University of Alberta for graduate study. Geographic information systems (GIS) is a field especially suited to investigating spatial patterns, modeling diverse scenarios, and overlaying spatial data. This semester, in my advanced GIS course, Spatial Data Structures and Algorithms, I am part of a team developing a temporal database and program for tracing historical trading data. My computer science skills have also been put to use in two summer internship projects, where I acquired proficiency with using LIDAR (light detection and ranging) technology, now favored by NASA in its current 10-year study of Greenland and changes in the ice cap extent. Through my coursework and project experience, I have also accrued skills...

...Background Theme in Irish History: Man of Aran By: Marvin Jean-Baptiste The story of Man of aran came from the last “200 years the Aran Islands have exercised a powerfully romantic fascination on the outside world which is without equal anywhere else in the country.” You were able to see the relaxing beach setting that took over by beach life but rough waves. I decide to watch the movie and get the good over view of the Irish lifestyle, which they picture from 1934. Robert J Flaherty directed man of aran. after taking trip to the location and giving his own direct of view of Irish living. “They were believed to contain the essence of the ancient Irish life, represented by a pure uncorrupted peasant existence centered around the struggle between man and his hostile but magnificent surroundings.” A man and his family living in a island that seem to be very quite and simple. The way of living seems to be surrounding with everything that had to do with the beach. Definitely from being on a island. The man of aran basically was documentary on the life of the Island people. “This film won international acclaim and explained in no small way why so many different nationalities walk the surface of Aran in their thousands.“ The movie showed a family living the simple life on a island fishing and growing crops of potatoes and handling a couple of farm animals. Everything looked peaceful and under control in beginning of the movie. As the movie processed you notice a heavy wave...

...without a fight. There was a huge religious conflict between the Protestants and Catholics. The Protestants were mostly British and the Catholics were Irish. The Protestants that were moved from England and Scotland into Ireland were given the best parts of the land, and because of that the political battle also became a religious one. The most known battle between the Protestants and Catholics is the Battle of the Boyne. The battle took place in 1690 by the River Boyne and was a disaster for the Catholics. The Catholics were led by King James II of Scotland, who had to give in to the British King, William III of Orange. That's why some Protestants in Northern Ireland call themselves Orangemen. After the Battle of the Boyne most of the civil rights were taken away from the Catholics. No Catholic could be voted or be elected for Parliament, they could not join the army or the navy, nor work in any civil office, they were not allowed to have weapons, they could not study at the university, no Catholic teachers were allowed in Irish schools and no Catholic priests were allowed in the Irish churches. The fight then became a fight not only about the politics and religion, but over basic civil rights as well. Ireland is now divided into 2 parts, but the country was not divided into 2 parts until 1921. 26 counties in the south became the Irish Free State, which was still tied to Great...

...hiomlán ann ina saol ábhartha. Gaelic and English are undoubtedly very different languages. The difference in the way words sound and are spelled varies greatly between the two. Yet, when translated, they have the same surface meaning. They do not, though, have the same history and importance. This is the theme of Brian Friel’s play, Translations. When the British army enters Ireland and attempts to anglicise it, first by changing something as seemingly insignificant as street names, it has a great effect on Irish people and culture. In reality, 1833, the time period for this...

...and even Invention Tradition was a major aspect of Irish Nationalism What we know of history is only what we are told and shown. The idea of reviving and inventing tradition in Ireland shows us how history can be manipulated by its tellers in order to suit their cause. Inventing tradition as described by Eric Hobsbawm is ‘A set of practices, normally governed by overtly or tacitly accepted rules and of a ritual or symbolic nature which seek to inculcate certain values and norms of behaviour by repetition, which automatically implies continuity with the past’ – Hobsbawm, Reading 5.1 p176, Tradition and Dissent. It also includes preserving or showing only specific aspects of a history that align with the individual or groups specific cause and encourages specific beliefs about the past that it wants people to have. The British conquest of Ireland was a gradual process which began in 1169, and by 1603 the whole of Ireland was under British rule. It was the belief of the Irish nationalists that Ireland should rule itself. After many years the Irish nationalists won independence from Britain in 1922. Reviving and Inventing tradition was important both prior to gaining this independence, and after gaining independence. Throughout the century prior to Ireland gaining its independence the nationalists were united in the goal to establish that the country of Ireland had a rich and ancient culture. Thomas Davis was an Irish Nationalist who lived from 1814 until 1845. He dedicated...

...Appreciate Irish Heritage Introduction The Irish culture is rich in customs, beliefs, and practices with substantial significance in the current times. It also constitutes traditions, literature, music, art, language, legends, sport and cuisine associated with Irish people living in the United States. These aspects of the Irish heritage are not homogeneous among natives of Ireland because of cultural divides that exist between rural Irish and urban Irish, Protestants and Catholics, settled population and travellers, native population and immigrants as well as disparities in language among Irish people. As such, Irish heritage is diverse with different elements that vary depending on the specific area of origin or consideration. The vast flow of people from Ireland to America from 1740 to 1922 is attributable to the modern Irish history in the United States. During this time, about seven million people of Irish origin immigrated to North America. In the attempts to adjust to the demands or requirement of modern industrializing world, some adjustments were made on Irish culture and identity, both personal as well as national. The native Irish culture was linked with the American culture to form the Irish-American culture, a blend of both cultures. However, considerable aspects of the Irish culture are depicted in the practices, festivals, religion, and culture of the contemporary Irish communities living in the United States. Furthermore, several elements of this culture...

...How selective did Irish nationalists have to be to establish continuity with the national past? PLAN Introduction: what is the national past? What was the aim and beliefs of the Irish nationalists? Discuss Hobsbawm’s, Inventing traditions What was the Gaelic league? How did this effect the continuity of the national past? What was the Easter rising? What was the Irish nationalist’s part in this, and how selective did they have to be to ensure continuity of the Irish past? What do sources suggest? How the Irish past was reinvented? How did people’s perspective of the Irish national past differ through the years? What was remembered selectively and what was easily forgotten to suit a certain set of beliefs at that time? What rules, regulations, rituals, practises were used to ensure continuity of the national past? Conclusion – What have we learned from sources regarding Irish Nationalism and the continuity? Compare evidence, and conclude. I am going to discuss how selective Irish nationalists had to be to establish continuity. Firstly the Irish Nationalists are a broad group who assert the view that the rule of the London government was the damage of Irish tradition. One very important factor is the invention of tradition, throughout this essay I will be discussing ways in which Irish nationalists used this to ensure certain parts of past history were remembered by inaccurate telling’s and how these traditions were passed down throughout generations, I will...

The name, a transfer name is derived from County Cork in Ireland, and the impressive cork oats that grew in he area. County Cork is in the Southwest region in the province of Munster. IT is the third most populous county on the island of Ireland. There are three great rivers and is dominated by marshes and grasslands with woodlands.Surnames were Mc Carthy, Callaghan, and Mc Aulffie to name a few. The landscape that once started with huts by the sea, populated only at first by monks, rancheros and indians later turned into a bustling city with farms, villas and a huge cathedral dotted by many other littlechurches of differing christian faiths. The early settlers were well educated and came from wealthy backgrounds from the southern counties of Ireland. Different architectural stlyes reflect a long history in town, There is some mention of Danish vikings settling down south of Finbares monastary; and trading with the Gaelic/irish community.

...the old Britains Yuerdhen, by the English at this day Ireland, and by the Irish Bards at this day Banno, in which sense of the Irish word, Avicen calls it the Holy Island; besides, Plutarch of old called it Ogygia, and after him Isidore named it Scotia.5 This Ireland, according to the inhabitants, is divided into two parts, the wild Irish, and the English-Irish, living in the English pale. But of the old kingdoms, five in number, it is divided into five parts. 1. The first is by the Irish called Mowne, by the English Munster, and is subdivided into six counties—of Kerry, of Limerick, of Cork, of Tipperary, of the Holy Cross, and of Waterford—to which the seventh county of Desmond is now added. The Gangavi, a Scythian people, coming into Spain, and from thence into Ireland, inhabited the county of Kerry, full of woody mountains, in which the Earls of Desmond had the dignity of palatines, having their house in Trailes, a little town now almost uninhabited. Not far thence lies p.215 St. Mary Wic, vulgarly called Smerwick, where the Lord Arthur Gray, being Lord Deputy, happily overthrew the aiding troops sent to the Earl of Desmond from the Pope and the King of Spain. On the south side of Kerry lies the county of Desmond, of old inhabited by three kinds of people, the Luceni (being Spaniards), the Velabri (so called of their seat upon the sea-waters or marshes), and the Iberni, called the upper Irish, inhabiting about Beer-haven and...
