...---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- Trilemma Introduction:- The trilemma refers to the choice of one or two alternatives among three, it is one difficult choice to do, as all three alternatives are of same importance and need. The trilemma which is also known as impossible trinity is defined according to the international standards, which comprehends that there are three conditions which are impossible to have in the same economy. These three conditions are: fixed exchange rate, free capital movement and an independent monetary policy. A nation can only chose any two of these factors; it depends on the choice of the nation. According to results of the analysis the governments which have tried to achieve all three factors have failed badly. Impossible trinity gives the choice to a nation, to choose two among three factors which are known as independent monetary policy, free capital flows, exchange rate stability. The impossible trinity:- The impossible trinity is a set of three desirable factors which a country wants to achieve but as a matter of fact only two factors are possible to achieve. Its economical diagram is as the following:- Theoretical derivation:- The official representation fundamental the theory is the uncovered Interest Rate Parity condition which condition that in nonattendance of a risk premium, arbitrage will make sure that the reduction or approval of a country's money, another will be equivalent to the nominal...

...RAMT Task 1 Kristina Compton Service Line Development Trinity Community Hospital New Orthopedic Line Business Summary The following is a summary of advantages and disadvantages of building, buying and leasing space for the new orthopedic line at Trinity Community Hospital. Included in this summary, is the option I recommend and my basis for this choice. When considering building, buying or leasing space for the new orthopedic service line, one must consider current trends in healthcare. Hospital construction continues to struggle to recover from years of unfavorable economic news. As hospital building activity has spend the last few years under the shadows of Wall Street’s financial meltdown and Capitol Hill’s health reform debate, industry planning, design and construction professionals found themselves riding out an extended down market (Hrickiewicz, 2010). Construction costs for building the space is estimated at $600,000 (5,000 square feet @ $120 per square foot). The advantage to this option is the potential for the building to increase in value resulting in increased equity for the hospital. Additionally, the hospital would retain total control of design and modifications to the building. In a leasing scenario, any modifications would require landlord approval. Also, Trinity Community Hospital would have the ability to lease any excess space within the building to others to generate additional revenue. Costs for purchasing the...

...Christianity was highly practiced. Mohammed claimed to have received some revelations from Allah, which he penned in what today is named as the Koran. Mohammed’s beliefs and those of the Jewish and Christians seemed to have differed, and this prompted Mohammed to start his Muslim movement. Indeed, Mohammed was the founder of Islam. Christianity was a deep-rooted religion among the Jewish people, and this made it impossible for Mohammed to impose his new ideas on them. MacCulloch, who was brought up in Christianity, opposed Mohammed’s criticism of Christianity because it was done for selfish reasons. Perhaps the one reason that endeared Mohammed towards Islam was his misunderstanding of the holy trinity. Christians in Mecca believed in the holy trinity, which includes God the Son, God the Father and God the Holy Spirit. One thing that seemed to agitate Mohammed was the fact that Christians seemed to praise highly Mary calling her the Mother of God, which to him was pure blasphemy. Mohammed felt that Christians were worshiping Mary and he interpreted the holy trinity as composing Mary, son and God, who was never the case. In conclusion, Violence seems to have been deeply rooted among the Christians and the Jewish people, and this was particularly so for the people who had converted to Islam. Mohammed felt that the Christians were not justified to kill and violate people who did not conform to their beliefs and he started the Islamic movement to mitigate the vice. Seeing that...

...theory of the Doctrine of God with discussing the character of God. Grudem begins by stating that there are several methods of categorizing the attributes of God. However, the most common attributes are better known as incommunicable and communicable attributes. The incommunicable attributes of God are "those attributes that God does not communicate to others", and the communicable attributes of God are "those attributes that God does communicate or share with others" (Grudem p. 186). An incommunicable attribute of God would be His unchangeableness; whereas, a communicable attribute of God would be love, knowledge and mercy. In Scripture, God is often known and discovered by His character. Because God is so vast, it is virtually impossible to attempt to sum Him up in His totality in one book, even the Bible. There is so much more to be known of God than any book could possibly hold. Consequently, God is known by many names, characters and description. God never changes and can be depended on. Even though He illicit judgment, He still has the capability to grant mercy and be graceful. This fact does not mean that God changes or lied about the prior judgment that was elicited. It is commonly known that God often changes His mind or has changed His mind regarding an outcome. This is not necessarily so. God has no beginning and no ending. Neither does he need time, because God is timeless. He has the ability to see the past, present and future as one broad picture...

...“paradoxical trinity” to analyze a specific war from the H100 block. Which of the three magnets of Clausewitz’s paradoxical trinity is most important for understanding that particular conflict? “The fastest runner doesn't always win the race, and the strongest warrior doesn't always win the battle… It is all decided by chance, by being in the right place at the right time.” Ecclesiates 9:11 is an often cited passage of the bible used to explain the unexplainable or as an excuse for failure. I will allow that circumstances will always arise (whether in war or everyday life) that could not be predicted; however, the relative reaction to those circumstances is what separates the truly great from the merely average. I will show in this paper that the ability to creatively control ‘chance’ is the single most important factor of Carl von Clausewitz’s paradoxical trinity in understanding the greatness of Napoleon Bonapart. He called this ability in a battlefield situation, ‘military genius’ and although Clausewitz believed in the equity of the three points in his trinity, I would posit that the ability to successfully apply military ingenuity and initiative to the probabilities and uncertainties of war is what was ultimately the deciding factor in the Napoleonic Wars. A closer look at the Battles at Austerlitz, Borodino and Waterloo will demonstrate the role of chance and the military genius in victory and defeat. It is necessary first to briefly explain Clausewitz’s trinity. There...

...Question 2: Was nazism nationalist or racist? National Socialist German Workers Party or more commonly know as Nazi was formed in 1919. Under the leadership of Adolf Hitler in 1921, the party eventually becomes the most powerful political force in German. Nazi party was an ideology that was based on racism and nationalism that governed Germany from 1933 to 1945. They promised to build up its greatness with a scientific theory of racism in which people were racially superior to all others. Their effort and endeavor eventually brought a great deal of success to its nation and followers. Based on the statements made by the authority, they demand the equality of the German people with all other nation and “how they demand land and soil (colonies) for the nourishment of [their] people” (NSDAP program ex.3). Just by looking through their ardor at the first glance, Nazism seems to approaches nationalism. However, when appraise and evaluate acutely about their political form, their nationalistic approaches are just the outer shell and the reality is turns out to be racist. In Nazism, their intention is to give favor to the people with German blood while excluding the foreign races. They made the numerous rules of restriction while strongly support the idea of discriminations for non-Germans while the people with German blood were advocated in almost every aspect in their country. Non-German people were forbidden to participate in many fields such as politics, cultural life and other...

...Abstract This paper shall discuss the Gold Standard, the Bretton Woods System and the European Exchange Rate Mechanism with a view to analysing their respective advantages and disadvantages; along with the circumstances surrounding their emergence and failure. Through this lens the author intends to draw comparisons between the current EMU and the Gold Standard and any implications these similarities have Introduction A prerequisite to any discussion on this topic is an understanding of certain classical and neo-classical analytical frameworks. Therefore section one will briefly present and explain the logic of Hume’s Mechanism and the ‘Impossible Trinity.’ Section Two outlines a chronological history of various exchange rate mechanisms along with their corresponding successes and failures. Section three draws parallels between the Gold Standard and the European Monetary Union and discusses the consequences of these similarities. Section One: Analytical Frameworks Hume’s Mechanism: This theory combines aspects of the purchasing power parity and interest rate parity conditions. It states that as the monetary base (M) increases domestic prices trend upwards. This induces a nation to import more goods than it exports, creating a current account deficit. This deficit gradually causes gold to leave the system, causing prices to revert back to their original levels- producing a balanced current account. This process in the goods markets is far slower than the complimentary...

...Tawhid: Belief in One God Apologetic Paper (Joseph Smith) - May 1995 Contents Introduction The Muslim View The Christian Response What the Scriptures say The history of the word 'Trinity' 'Trinity' defined Common misconceptions Can 1+1+1=1? Is Jesus not merely human? The ignobility of God's humanity Was Jesus begotten? Where was God when Jesus was on Earth? Is Mary God? Is the concept of the Trinity not borrowed from a pagan source? Conclusion A: Introduction A few years ago I received a letter from a colleague in India who had been approached by two Muslim teachers, in Bihar, with the request for: "A statement of Christian faith which would compare with the five principles of Muslim teaching." This list concerns The Beliefs of Iman, a group of five to six beliefs which all Muslims must adhere to, and which has, consequently become a sort of 'Statement of Faith' for the Muslim religion. The list includes the: belief in One God (Allah) belief in the Prophets belief in the Holy Books belief in Angels belief in the Day of Judgment belief in the Decrees or the Predestination of God (Allah). I decided to write a Christian response to the six beliefs. This is the first response, concerned with the belief in one God (Tawhid). Because this paper is initially written for Muslims, it must be made understandable to them. For that reason I have left out many Christian religious terms which they would not be familiar with, and have kept the parameters of...

...beginning of May the Indian rupee has plunged by 23% against the dollar. The Turkish lira fell by 15% in that time, and the Indonesian rupiah by 16%. Headlines warn of a replay of the Asian crisis of the late 1990s. Complaints from emerging-market officials that rich-world monetary experiments are to blame for the trouble look like sour grapes. But new research presented to the world’s top central bankers at their recent gathering in Jackson Hole suggests they may have a point. At issue is how the flood (and ebb) of foreign capital affects economies. The traditional rule has been that countries face a “trilemma”: they must choose between free capital flows, a fixed exchange rate and an autonomous (independent) monetary policy. “The impossible trinity” sounds like new-age theology (religious truth) but simply posits (presents) that an economy can choose at most two of these three. An economy open to free movement of capital can keep a fixed exchange rate, for example, only by subjugating monetary-policy goals to its defence—by raising interest rates sharply, say, when capital outflows put downward pressure on the currency. Yet the trilemma also implies that an economy can enjoy both free capital flows and an independent monetary policy, so long as it gives up worrying about its exchange rate. Emerging-market leaders have long been sceptical of this notion. The Asian crisis led much of the developing world to abandon fixed exchange rates. Yet many emerging-market central banks...

...Pastor as Theologian in the Wesleyan Spirit Student: Ken Miller Part #1 Simply stated, theology is the study of God. But, it’s much more than that. It’s how God reveals himself to us through divine revelation. To begin our understanding of what theology is, we must examine the deeper question of why theology is. We must consider the purpose of theology…. the why and the how it is done. Theology can easily be viewed as a discipline with many facets. It is viewed in many ways. These are not necessarily to be considered as “stand alone” explanations, because they compliment each other. Five facets of theology are: explaining reality (often times looked upon as much more than an explanation of how things work, but a view of their place in God’s plan), systematization of Christian doctrine ( the practice of presenting Christian doctrine as an ordered or coherent whole), defending the faith and as a bridge for nonbelievers (this “apologetic theology” strives to help us refute the argument of those atheists who state that it’s not reasonable to believe in God), a critique of the life and proclamation of the church (an evaluation of the church and its teachings - often a cross check to evaluate if our sermons, lesson and writings are true to the gospel), and also contemplation (seeking a deeper understanding and intellectual appreciation). Theology and philosophy frequently are at times confused by those not actively engaged in either of the two disciplines. The...

...Analysis of The Matrix by the Wachowski brothers * Question: Films use Cinematographic techniques to enhance the their purpose of entertaining, informing and persuading. Discuss how one film you have viewed uses cinematographic techniques to fulfil this purpose. * * The movie the Matrix, made by the Wachowski brothers in 1999, was one of the movie highlights of the new millennia revolving around the genre of scientific fiction and exploring themes such as Man vs. Machines, Reality, Technophobia, Salvation, Simulation simulacra and to a small extent, on war. The Matrix was made to open our eyes to how humanity lives today and a very possible dystopic future where humanity might face the wrath of its own creations. The Matrix is a very intricate movie that entertains the audience, informs and messes with the audience’s mind evoking strong responses through the use of cinematography, conventions and SWAT codes. Movies are created with a purpose and for most movies that purpose is to entertain and inform the audience about certain issues that exist in our social norms or some other thing that the directors of the movie may want to send across to the audience. A casual viewer could watch the entire Matrix without assessing all the other philosophical and Intertextuality references and still enjoy the movie. The Matrix is a very entertaining movie and it uses Technical codes such as Computer graphics to keep the audience engaged and greatly entertained. The Matrix was...
