Nick’s father, who is a doctor, is on his way to help an Indian woman. He only knows that they are going to visit an Indian lady who is very sick, which he tells his son, Nick. When they arrive at the camp, they realize that the sick lady is actually a pregnant woman. She has been trying to have her baby for nearly two days and all the Indian women in the camp had been trying to help her. They find the pregnant woman in a cabin, lying on a wooden bunk. Her husband is also present, but he lies above her with an injured foot. Nick is very curious of what is happening, so his father explains Nick the reasons why pregnant women are in labor. He is also showing Nick how to deal with a pregnant woman who is in a lot of pain. The pregnant woman will have to deliver her baby right now, but Nick's father doesn’t have his regular equipment with him for dealing with situations like this, so he is forced to perform a caesarian operation on the woman with a jackknife and some tapered gut leaders because of the baby who is already in breech position. He asks Nick to assist him by holding a basin for him. The woman screams throughout the operation, and she even takes uncle George by surprise by biting him.

...Indian Camp December 2011 Going through childhood, and taking a step into the adult world, is something that we all go through. Growing up is a very important part of life. Someday we’ll all become adults, and if you don’t develop yourself personally, you will remain having a childish personality and not have the skills life requires of you to live a life as a normal human being. Personal development is a theme that is very prominent in the short story “Indian Camp” written by Ernest Hemingway in 1921, where we meet the young boy Nick who’s on a mission with his father at an Indian camp. He gets introduced to the realities of birth and death in only one day, and when the day is over, he has got numerous of experiences and has obviously grown mentally. He has taken a little step further into becoming an adult. In my analysis I will make a brief summary, an analysis of the short story, where I will focus on Nick Adams development through the story and discuss which kind of initiation he goes through. Finally to sum up, I will make a conclusion. Nick is a young boy accompanying his father and his uncle George to an Indian camp on the other side of a lake. Nicks father is a doctor, and the reason why they are visiting this Indian camp, is because the father is summoned by the Indians to help a young woman who’s been in labor for 2 days, still unable to deliver her baby. When the father arrives, she is lying in a bottom bunk; her husband, who cut his foot badly with an axe three...

...• Summary: This article covered details on slavery of Indians (and Africans) in the early 18th century. Many Indian slaves were shipped to the West Indies, Amsterdam or New England and the number of Indian slaves was nearly half that of African slaves. The Cherokee slave trade was so serious that it surpassed the trade of furs and skins and became the primary source of commerce between the English and people of South Carolina. The whites realized that the ‘red-black’ population outnumbered them 4 to 1 and should an uprising occur they would be extremely outnumbered so they took steps to create hatred between the two groups. They were used against each other to quell uprisings, slave codes forbade intermarriage and ultimately the whites gave...

...operations against the Chinese. The Indians, on the other-hand, were either given much leeway and treated with kindness or experienced a similar fate like the Chinese. This essay will examine how the Indians were torn between two choices; for or against the Japanese military. After the fall of Singapore on 15th February 1942, the Japanese military wanted to show that the Chinese were its only enemy but spared the other ethnic groups. The ‘Sook Ching’ operations (brutal operation of the Chinese) were one way of showing that the Chinese were its only enemy and that the other ethnic groups were its friends. With the existing anti-British sentiments already present in Singapore before the occupation, the Japanese saw a golden opportunity to forge a viable cooperation with the Indian POWs because they intended to exploit Indian anti-British sentiments to sabotage British army. In fact, they openly courted the Indian community with broadcast messages telling them the Japanese had come to liberate. (Heritage Trails :: Civic District Trail I :: Indian National Army) The primary objective was to make use of the Indian POWs in Singapore by harnessing their patriotism to India. At that the time, the Indians in Singapore were eager to join the anti-British, pro-Japanese Indian National Army. It was hoped that they would fight along with the Japanese military in its attacks against New Delhi for the independence of India. The Japanese formed the “Indian Working...

...under the Nazis. At the same time, Keneally wanted the world to know about the good deeds of one man over evil. It was later made into a film in 1992, which won many academy awards as well. Schindler’s List tells the tale of a remarkable German businessman, Oskar Schindler, who with his wealth and manipulating abilities helps save the lives of thousands of Jews from being terminated by the Nazis. Keneally takes us back to 1939 when Germany invaded Poland and occupied its territory. Their extreme hatred towards the Jews forms one of the themes of this book. The Nazi soldiers were ordered to round up the Jewish families, separate the men and the women and move them to concentration camps. Set in Krakow, Poland, the book describes the conditions of the Polish Jews in these camps and their silent despair. Keneally describes Oskar’s childhood in his hometown Czechoslovakia. He describes his struggle to start a new life after moving to Poland. In search for a profitable business, Oskar meets Itzhak Stern, a Jewish advisory...

...Culture Summary for Nabajo As described by Adams, William Yewdale (2004), the Nabajo are an American Indian culture located in Arizona and New Mexico. They were often referred to as “Apaches” in sixteenth-century Spanish documents. Although they were referred to as this, so were many other Athapaskan-speaking groups of the New Mexico Province. After the sixteenth-century, they were always referred to as “Navajo” (or “Nabajo” in the Spanish language). No one is absolutely sure of the origin of the name but it has been speculated to be derived from the Tewa Pueblo Indian word for “cultivated fields”. This name was most likely given to the Navajo people because of their dependency on agriculture. The traditional home of the Navajo people has...

Short story by Hemingway * Perhaps a miscarriage * In a shop? * Shopaholic * Someone who gave up the baby plans * Just six words makes the reader think and wonder A very short story A 5 sentence summary of the text The text is about an American soldier, who gets wounded in Italy, where he falls in love with his nurse, Luz. They decide to get married and move to America. The soldier moves there first, and then Luz was supposed to come over later, but she has an affair with an Italian major, but they don’t get married either. In the end, they lose all contact and the soldier gets gonorrhoea. a) What is the point of view? Omniscient. Who is the protagonist? The American soldier. Probably Hemingway, as it is mostly based on his own life. Is the ending open or closed in your opinion? I think the ending is closed, because you get closure. b) Characterize “him” and Luz: The protagonist is an American soldier. He is very likely based on Ernest Hemingway, as most of his work is based on his own life, and it fits very well with the story about how he fell in love in the war. Luz...

Z5027270 Executive summary This report is an overview of my group experiences in the Harvard Everest simulation .Everest simulation is group work of students to use their own background knowledge of management attending to reach the summit of the Mountain Everest. It is required to complete by a group of students and students play one of five different roles on a team of hiker. Each member of the team has their unique goals to complete and there is also a common goal of reaching the Everest summit. During the simulated six-day climb, team members should analyze information on weather, health conditions, supplies, goals and hiking speed, and then determine how much of that information need to communicate with their teammates. Every decision that each member made will influence the team performance eventually. The aim for this simulation is to explore influences on collective decision-making, including opposing interests and cognitive biases, analyze different leadership approaches and team responses. Our group members include Raymond Duong, Anthony Le, James Peter Reid, Jialing Guo, Siqi Liu, Kazuya Ogino and Biljana Popovic. Our team score is 57% at the first time and only 28% at the second time. The quite low score our group earned may because the more risky decisions we made compare with the first attempt and lack of the knowledge of management.

...Venture capital flows to tech startups Tech investors at the iHub offices at Bishop Magua Centre on Ngong Road, Nairobi. Stephen Mudiari | Nation By JEVANS NYABIAGE jnyabiage@ke.nationmedia.com Posted Monday, November 8 2010 at 16:00 In Summary * Equity financiers scout for buyouts in Kenya as mobile and internet spur innovation Kenya’s tech environment is bustling with innovations driven by mobile telephony and strong entrepreneurial spirit, but access to capital remains a major constraint. This has created a magnet of venture capitalists in Kenya seeking to fund tech startups. Venture Capitalists are investors who scout for promising startups and small businesses with potential for huge profits. Venture Capital funds make money by owning equity in the companies they invest in. Mr Brian Hirman, a co-founder of eVA Fund, says Nairobi is recording high growth of start-ups in digital, ICT, web and mobile. “There’s a lot of entrepreneurship also motivated by Kenyan whiz kids who have studied in the US or Europe. There are lots of bright people with strong digital business ideas,” says Mr Hirman, whose fund has invested in Kenyan tech start-ups. Pitching for cash On October 18, 2010, at the Ihub incubation centre, five venture capital funds listened to pitches from eight startups. The forum was organised by the Kenya ICT Board as follow-up to the $3 million in content grants funded by the World Bank. The Venture Capitalists, or VCs, on the panel were eVA Fund, Fanisi...
