...Why Did The King Make The Flight To Varennes? The flight of King Louis is best explained by an accumulation of long term and short term causes, based on the beliefs and intentions of people at the time, and the existing conditions in France at that time. The French people were against the King as they believed in the ideals of the new constitution; fraternity, liberty and equality. And the new constitution greatly decreased teh kings power, it even changed his title to King of French. This was done because it was felt Louis should rule for the French people not just for the privileged few, and they thought he couldn’t do this in Versailles with so many distractions, so they moved him to Paris where they could watch him and what he was doing. This action of moving the king to Tuileries was the short term trigger which caused the King to flee to Varennes. Tuileries was a basic castle in comparison to the extravagance of Versailles palace where the King could do what he wanted when he wanted. And as such Tuilerires was much more run down and its grounds were smaller than those at Versailles so Louis’ passion for hunting was severely limited. And this lack of luxuries led to him fleeing as he felt the condition of the accommodation was unsuitable for a King. Leaders from other countries were worried by what was happening in France as they believed that if the revolution in France succeeded then it could inspire the people in their country to have a similar revolution. One such...

...Southwest Airlines is a major U.S. airline founded by Rollin King and Herb Kelleher, in Dallas, TX, in 1967. In 1993, Southwest expanded to Baltimore-Washington International (BWI) airport in Maryland, making it their first east coast location. In 2000, Matt Hafner took over as the BWI Station Manager. His task was to turn around the location’s operating performance which lagged behind the company-wide averages. How does Southwest Airlines compete? What are its distinctive competencies and key performance indicators? Southwest Airlines competes by offering the least expensive fares in the industry and by offering the most frequent short distance flights out of all their competitors. Short distance flights are defined as one way flights of less than 500 miles. For these flights, Southwest views their competition as cars and trains. Southwest has a number of strategies they utilize to keep their fares as low as possible and offer more frequent flights. In order to have more flights they focus on having quick turnaround times at the gate. This minimizes the amount of time the planes are on the ground which means the more time the plane is in the air flying. Additionally, the Southwest model was to use underutilized, less congested airports which have easy access to large metropolitan cities. Less people and less traffic reduces the possible number of airport related issues which could delay operations. Love Field in Dallas and Midway in Chicago are two of Southwest’s...

When we got there Cade was already there waiting for everyone else to get there. When we got out I said “Cade, are you ready?” and of course we all know what he said “Yep.” I just started to walk around waiting for Mr. Valcaro to get here until Cades dad just got a text saying Mr. Vacaro forgot to get some paperwork and it will be another 10 minutes before he gets there. It was the slowest ten minutes of my life because I was so eager to get on the road. Finally he got here and I said “it took you guys long enough!” Everyone started laughing as we got our stuff in his suburban. I gave my mom a hug goodbye and we were off on the road. I rested my head on the side of the window not listening to anyone’s conversation exempt for the guns and roses that was playing on the radio.

...understanding why the author of Hebrews would use them like he does. The first text the Hebrews’ author uses is found in Genesis 14, though he does not quote from this chapter (Beale 967). The appearance of Melchizedek in that chapter is precipitated by a war between a powerful confederacy of four eastern kings and a rebellious group of five kings led by Sodom and Gomorrah (Gen. 14:1-4). War broke out because the latter refused to pay annual tribute to the eastern kings (Gen. 14:4; Mathews 142). When the two armies met in battle, the four eastern kings put the five to flight (Gen. 14:8-10). The greedy eastern kings plundered all the cities of the defeated rebels, taking Abram’s nephew, Lot, with them (Gen. 14:11-12). Ironically, the abduction of Lot led to the undoing of this confederacy (Mathews 145)....

...Telemachus. According to Joseph Campbell, a hero’s journey normally entails three phases; the departure, the initiation, and the return. (Wikipedia) The first phase is the departure phase, which consists of three stages; the call to adventure, the refusal of the call, and supernatural aid. The call to adventure, is when the hero is in a “mundane situation of normality from which some information is received that acts as a call to head off into the unknown.” (Wikipedia) Ulysses call to adventure began when he accepted to lead his men and go to troy and fight against King Priam. This is considered an adventure because it was something different, it took him away to the unknown, and it tested his courage. This was also Ulysses’ first step into the start of his journey. The second stage is refusal of the call, this happens when the hero does not want to go on the journey. Ulysses was in Ithica with his wife and newborn son, when he got the call to go to Troy. Ulysses did not want to leave his son behind or wife but had no choice, this could be seen as him refusing to go to Troy. The third stage is receiving supernatural aid, one of the examples of this stage is when Miverva appears to Telemachus and offers him help. The Goddess Miverna used a disguise and appears to Telemachus “as a visitor, Mentes, chief of the Taphians, and she held a bronze spear in her hand.” (Homer Book I) Miverva decides to appear to Telemachus and provide him with the courage to get rid of his mother’s suitors...

...Da Vinci discovered and analyzed several of the basic principles of aerodynamics and physics then applied these principles to his designs. He wrote prolifically, and if his written works were not lost for centuries, his influence on other inventors would be even greater than it is. His writings included hundreds of sketches that illustrated his observations of flight in nature and the inventions he designed. He studied bird flight for many years, analyzing it rationally and anticipating many principles of aerodynamics. The structure of wings, carrying surfaces, and landing gear; and even devices for directional control. His early designs were man-powered types including ornithopters, fixed winged gliders, parachutes, and rotorcraft. He came to realize the impracticality of this and later turned to controlled gliding flight, also sketching some designs powered by a spring. In 1488, he drew a hang glider design in which the inner parts of the wings are fixed, and some control surfaces are provided towards the tips (as in the gliding flight in birds). While his drawings exist and are deemed flight-worthy in principle, he himself never...

Much of the nation’s greatest events occurred because of people like Martin Luther King Jr and Mandela, standing up for what they believed in and doing what they think is upright. Back in the late 1990’s, Blacks were considered free, yet were not treated as equals. Many people, including some white men and women, thought this was not the way America and its people should live, so they engaged in the streets. Chanting and screaming was all you heard from these protesters, but one man emerged from the rest, Martin Luther King Jr. He was an American Baptist minister...

...CASE ANALYSIS Southwest Airlines, Co. COMPANY NAME: Southwest Airlines Co. INDUSTRY: Regional Airlines COMPANY WEBSITE: www.southwest.com COMPANY BACKGROUND: Southwest Airlines was founded in 1967 (Yahoo Finance, 2012) and started out as an idea from Rollin King, a San Antonio entrepreneur of a commuter air service. The idea was a response to complaints from his banker about the expense and inconvenience of ground travel between the cities of Houston, Dallas and San Antonio, also known as the Golden Triangle (Dess, Lumpkin, & Eisner, 2010 page C194). King, wanting to bring the idea to fruition, pooled his money together with a San Antonio lawyer, Herb Kelleher, who later won many of the company’s legal and territorial battles, and they started Southwest Airlines. After four years of legal battles with major airlines while the company was still very new, Southwest Airlines (SWA) finally launched its first flight in 1971 and continued to run with the assistance of many key people. One of the key people who got the company on its feet was Lamar Muse, former CEO. Howard Putnam later took Muse’s place as CEO from 1978 to 1982 and was then replaced by Herb Keller who was previously Chairman of the Board. Under the influence of Keller and SWA’s “low-cost strategy” (Dess, Lumpkin, & Eisner, 2010 page C194), SWA expanded from flying to only 14 cities, but still earning $270 million, to later servicing 64 cities, all at low rates. SWA continues to be a popular...

First, they made the “car” by placing the bottoms of roller skates under a big piece of wood and the rest of the wood was used to make a slide that went from the top of a woodshed to the ground. With Amelia and her bravery, she went first and rolled quickly down the unstable slide. The “car” hit the ground and Amelia bounced into the air and turned into a somersault, luckily escaping injury. Years after the family moved to Des Moines, Iowa where they attended a state fair. That is when Amelia got to see her first airplane which did not impress Amelia. The airplane was made of wood and wires and reminded Amelia of a “big orange crate.” Because of this, she thought she would never own an airplane. Even though she was young at the time Amelia knew she wanted to do something fun in the future.
