...2013 Italy Embargo Act of 1935 Introduction Benito Mussolini, the Fascist Prime Minister of Italy, has begun his quest for a worldwide empire. He has initiated the start of his goal by invading Ethiopia for a gateway to the Middle East. Mussolini is equipped with a strong disciplined military ready to strike any country on command. Still, Mussolini is also equipped with an “Achilles Heel”. Italy is without the world most precious resource, oil. This fact hinders the survival of Mussolini’s Empire. However, The United States has 80% of the world’s oil, and is also experiencing a nationwide depression. On this day January, 1st 1935, the United States of America is establishing an oil embargo on the Kingdom of Italy, to halt the progression of Mussolini’s potential worldwide empire, to preserve America’s national economy, and to immobilize Italy’s armed forces. Section 1 The embargo placed on the Kingdom of Italy is a start to diminishing the emerging empire. Without oil, Italy will find itself in a gridlock. Not only will the embargo defeat the conquest, it will also greatly affect the Kingdom of Italy’s homeland. The United States produces more than three-fourths of the world’s oil, and ultimately runs the inter-national oil trade. The United States of America will see to it that the oil embargo not only be enforced by the United States, but also our allying and neutral countries. The United States’ oil embargo hopes to stop Italy’s tyranny. Without the oil, Italy will have...

It is also recommended that when implementing changes to a supply chain, management must take a complete channel approach from a strategic supply chain management perspective to ensure that every partner in the supply chain benefit from the change. It is challenging to implement a new system, and many factors must be considered, such as culture change, power and inertia. Issue Identification Barilla SpA is the world’s largest pasta manufacturer. It owned and operated an extensive network of plants located throughout Italy. Most Barilla products were shipped from its manufacturing plants to one of two Barilla central distribution centers (CDDCs). Third party distributors purchased pastas from CDCs and sent them to supermarkets. In the 1980s, Barilla increasingly felt the effect of fluctuating demand. Orders for dry products often swung wildly from week to week, even though the underlying pasta demand pattern in Italy was relatively flat. Such extreme variability strained...

...Renaissance and was followed by the Classical era. The word "baroque" came from the Portuguese word barroco, meaning "misshapen pearl".That is to say, the typical characteristic of Baroque music is replacing the old with the new , though it may be irregular, exaggerated as well as grand. George Frideric Handel is a famous German-born British composer during this period. He was born in Halle (Germany), on February 23rd,1685, just a month before JS Bach was born in Eisenach, not so far to the south. Handel's father intended him for the law, but his own musical inclinations soon prevailed.He was strongly influenced both by the great composers of the Italian Baroque and the middle-German polyphonic choral tradition. Following his studies in Germany, Handel went to Italy where he spent more than three years, in Florence, Rome, Naples and Venice. In Rome he studied with Corelli, and no doubt met and exchanged ideas with a number of other Italian composers. Handel left Italy early in 1710 and went to Hanover, where he was appointed Kapellmeister to the Elector, George Louis. The Royal Houses of Britain and Europe had always been closely inter-related, and England's Act of Settlement of 1701...

...monetary investment for Europe. The Europeans took over control of the waterways and other routes used for industrial purposes in different areas of Africa. Africa was such a promising place for many other countries to consider colonizing so there was urgency for Europeans to claim their stake in Africa (2011 Africana). There was a concern that it could even lead to wars with other countries trying to take over Africa at the same time as Europe. A German chancellor named Otto von Bismarck helped to protect Europe’s interest in Africa and scheduled what is know as the Berlin Conference (2011 Africana). This conference resulted in the Berlin Act to put into place. This was a treaty that would give standards for conduct of the European inter-imperialist competition that could possibly take place in Africa. Africans did not have a say so in the treaty, which led to resistance and rebellion. The Africans resisted to the colonialism by Europe and were not happy about the treaty. Europeans would go around the country and try to persuade them to sign the treaty. The Africans were misled about the meaning of the treaty but they did not come to understand the...

...borrowing practices; international trade imbalances; the housing bubbles; the fiscal policy choices by the governments, related to their revenues and expenses or the position taken by some federal reserve banks, especially on the bailing out process of financial institutions. The first cause we can appoint it’s related to the risk or actual bankruptcy of the major financial institutions globally, starting with the collapse of the “Lehman Brothers” (September 2008), a global financial services firm. Some of these kinds of institutions highly invested in risky securities, which depreciate almost their entire value, when United States and European housing bubbles began to deflate during the 2007-2009 period. Consequently, as share and housing prices decreased, a major panic was installed on the inter-bank loan market, resulting on the failure of many others large and well established investment and commercial banks in the U.S. and Europe, such as the “American International Group”, which was later rescue by the U.S. Federal Reserve, or the “Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac”, a government-sponsored enterprise. Furthermore, the global recession had repercussions on the international trade, which presented a decreasing tendency, along with the rising unemployment and inflation. Summarizing, this...

...Renaissance and Reformation Effects The Renaissance began in the 1300s in Florence, Italy and reached to the 15th Century where it spread to the whole Western Europe. Renaissance means “rebirth” because of its changes from the primitive medieval times to the modern Renaissance. Both, the Renaissance and the Reformation had many effect on the European society and some of their impacts were combined. They believed that the human spirit had to be reawakened as it was in the classical times of Greece and the Roman Empire. Many new inventions, techniques and ideas helped to change the human society and caused a spiritual and religious crisis that shatters the Christian unity known as the Reformation. Many elements affected the social economic in the Renaissance. Everything began with the humanist as they revived an interest in ancient Greece and Rome to increase their understanding of their own times. During the process of this time period the society shifts from agriculture to urban in which trade is inter-regional and growing fast. The growth of trade helped the merchants to become powerful money leaders and developed a new middle class. In one hand the Renaissance effected individual scholars, writers, artists, wealth merchants and ruler could patronize the arts. But in the other hand the peasants still had their old simple life’s in which they had to work hard and fight for staying alive. But not only had the economy changed, there were also some changes in fine arts, where...

...Tyson was born as the second of three children in the borough of Manhattan in New York City and was raised in the Bronx.[1]His mother, Sunchita Marie (Feliciano) Tyson, was agerontologist, and his father, Cyril deGrasse Tyson, was asociologist, human resource commissioner for the New York City mayor John Lindsay, and the first Director of Harlem Youth Opportunities Unlimited.[3][4] From kindergarten through high school Tyson attended public schools in New York City, all in the Bronx, which included PS 36, PS 81, Riverdale Kingsbridge Academy (MS 141), and The Bronx High School of Science (1972–76)[5] where he was captain of the wrestling team, and editor-in-chief of the school's Physical Science Journal. Tyson had an abiding interest in astronomy since he was nine years old, following his visit to Pennsylvania and seeing the stars, saying "it looks like the Hayden Planetarium".[6] He obsessively studied astronomy in his teens, and eventually even gained some fame in the astronomy community by giving lectures on the subject at the age of fifteen.[7] Tyson recalls that "so strong was that imprint [of the night sky] that I'm certain that I had no choice in the matter, that in fact, the universe called me."[6] Astronomer Carl Sagan, who was a faculty member at Cornell University, tried to recruit Tyson to Cornell forundergraduate studies.[3] In an interview with writer Daniel Simone,[8] Tyson said: Interestingly, when I applied to Cornell, my application dripped of my passion for...
