...It can be concluded after reading and analyzing the documents that the period from 1350 to 1750 was in fact marked by increasing openness to foreign ideas, culture, and peoples in some but not all countries or empires. It can also be concluded that the reason behind the foreign openness was not only for sharing ideas and cultures but also for benefitting from trade. For example, the countries of documents 2, 3, and 6 were not open to contact with other countries. They were entirely closed off. The countries of documents 1, 5, 7, and 8 are great examples of countries that in this period were entirely open to the foreign ideas and cultures of others. Then we have the countries like in documents 4 and 9 who were open to the ideas of other countries...

...Kern Jr. music players for all of my listening tests. The DT 1350 comes with a beautifully designed, flat carry case that does a good job protecting the headphones. One downside, the 4.92 foot long (1.5 meter) cable isn't user replaceable, but the cable plug's slightly bulky reinforced strain relief should prevent premature cable failure. The 3.5 mm plug comes fitted with a screw-on 6.3mm adaptor plug. Getting down to the business of listening to the DT 1350 didn't feel like work, as acoustic music had an organic natural quality. Voices inside these headphones sounded like actual human voices, imagine that! Flying Lotus' "Until the Quiet Comes" album is jam-packed with texturally and rhythmically dense instrumentals that practically massaged my ears with its low bass beats. The DT 1350 plumbs the depths of the music, no problem. Then I compared the DT 1350 with a Beyerdynamic T 51P on-ear headphone. These two designs are obviously very similar, but the DT 1350's ear cups and ear pads are slightly larger. More important, how did they sound? The DT 1350 had more heft and body, and was a little clearer overall. With Arcade Fire's "Reflektor" album, the DT 1350 pulled way out in front, letting more music through. I was tapping my feet and bopping my head, the DT 1350 got to me. Still, I think the T 51 P's lighter bass balance might be preferred by some listeners. There's not much more I can add, the Beyerdynamic DT 1350 headphones' sound and build quality are first-rate, and they're...

...assumption would be the plastic rings are produced by the time the rings wear out. Hans would then have to deal with the total cost of two rings ($279.65 + $1107.90 = $1387.55 per hundred). In this scenario Hans would be face with a net loss of $37.55 ($1387.55 - $1350 = $37.55) since the two combined cost are over the selling price of $1350 per hundred rings. The net loss of $37.55 would be significantly less than trying to sell the units that will soon be obsolete and can reasonably expect the selling price to fall from $1350 to $337.5 per hundred ($1350*.25) which would be one fourth the current selling price of $1350 since the plastic ring is 4 times more durable than the steel rings.. To recover from the lost of $37.55 per hundred rings, Hans may want to consider increasing the price of labor for service calls. Once the plastic rings are introduced to a majority of the market, the price will become more competitive. The markup of nearly 500% ($1350/279.65 = 483%) for the plastic ring will not last as manufacturers possess the technology to produce the unit. Assuming steel rings are currently the most common and widespread part for these machines, the average markup is approximately 18% ($1350 - $1107.90 = $242.10 / $1350 = 17.93%). Once the market for the plastic rings begins to normalize at 18%, the average profit generated will be $50.37 ($279.65 * .18) per hundred rings as...

The plague was introduced to Europe by a foreign source, Europe suffered from severe economic and social losses. Throughout history, documentation of the Black Death was adjusted to different viewpoints of historians, causing primary and secondary sources to occasionally depict the event differently. The Black Death was an important event in European History as it remodelled Europe, the European society, and economy significantly. The Black Death was caused by foreign, infested cargo brought from other countries, resulting in unpleasant consequences for the citizens of Europe. The disease was carried by fleas, which lived on the hairs of rats. People...

...03/28/13 Mr.Emerson Global History Black Death The Black Death was one of the most devastating events in human history, starting in Europe between 1348 and 1350, and killing between 75 million and 200 million people. Black Death in England - 1348-1350 The Black Death reached England in 1348. Bristol was an important European port and city in England during the Medieval era. It is believed that Bristol was the place where the Black Death first started in England. The plague reached England during the summer months between June and August. The Back Death reached London by 1st November 1348. London was a crowded, bustling city with a population of around 70,000. The sanitation in London was poor and living conditions were filthy. The River brought more ships and infection to London which spread to the rest of England. The crowded, dirty living conditions of the English cities led to the rapid spread of the disease. Church records that the actual deaths in London were approximately 20,000. Between 1348 and 1350, killed about 30 - 40% of the population of England which at the time was estimated to be about five to six million. Many people were thrown into open pits. The oldest, youngest and poorest died first. Whole villages and towns in England simply ceased to exist after the Black Death. The disease was called the Black Death because one of the symptoms produced a blackening of the skin around the swellings. or buboes. The...

...Kathleen Talentino Professor Dr. Duff Sutherland HIST 106 December 4, 2006 Research Essay The Honest Courtesan during the Italian Renaissance The honest courtesan, also known as “cortigiana oneste” in Italy, contributed to the development of the intellectual and cultural revolution of the Italian Renaissance. This was during a time which the status of women struggled against that of their male counterparts. During this revolution, upper class women had less power politically and socially than women of the medieval era, and were confined to the opinion that their attention should be focused on domestic affairs. The honest courtesans were ambitious women who possessed all of the qualities of the male courtier, and maintained their sexual equality. The contributions of this elite group of women were in the areas of philosophical thought; historically through art and literature, and in development of the structure and function of human society. During the Renaissance, Italy experienced many revolutionary ideas, one of them known as Humanism. Humanism birthed the popularity of classical studies among the Italian elite of scholars, artists, writers and architects. This group of elite men were the forefathers of popular contemporary thought, and had the freedom to move in directions economically, socially, politically, emotionally, intellectually, and morally.[1] This idea changed life in Italy by individuals always striving to realize their human potential.[2]...

...Gabriela Rochabrun Illustrious Corporation Illustrious Corporation is a small assembly shop preparing their operating plan for the next 10 weeks. The process began with part H590 which they bought from another company but the complete shipment of 900 H590 was returned since poor quality, therefore part P712 will be delayed since P712 is H590 with tapped holes. As briefly explained on the Bill of Materials, X500 contains parts L477 and L600 (x2), a delay in getting H590 will affect both parts causing an impact in schedule. X500 requires 7 components in 4 assembly levels. Assuming tha all dependent items came from the same manufacturer, and since part H590 was returned, an alternative of evaluating different suppliers would be an option, this action can take time and extra cost but supplier can avoid any delays in schedule and mantain good relationship with customer since new suppliers can be used as a back up. Also if the Master Production Schedule is not accurate (the forecasts frequantly changes), the MRP won't be showing realistic numbers. 1. What is the lowest dependent item on the BOM H590 2.

No. 10–1491, U.S. Supreme Court Issue:Can you sue Corporations under this Tort? Does the Alien Tort Statue even apply to outside the US or to what extent can you prosecute? Rule: 28 U.S.C. § 1350 : US Code - Section 1350: Alien's action for tort - The district courts shall have original jurisdiction of any civil action by an alien for a tort only, committed in violation of the law of nations or a treaty of the United States. Analysis: The case of Kiobel v. Royal Dutch Shell Petroleum Company a.k.a. Shell was brought up by a group of 12 Nigerians claiming that they or their relatives were tortured, unlawfully arrested, executed, and other crimes against humanity. They alleged Shell supplied ammunition to the Nigerian police, transported soldiers in the corporate helicopters to carry out the crimes, Shell was involved in Corporate Bullying, aided and abetted in the rape of Nigerian women, and violation of human rights (Legal Information Institute, 2015). Kiobel could not sue Shell in Nigeria because the Nigerian Government was corrupt. The Nigerian group’s attempt to file a suit was dismissed by the UK and the Netherlands Company because those countries would not take jurisdiction. The group had taken political asylum because of the crimes in Nigeria and after becoming US citizens. The 12 Nigerians sued in the US under the 1789...

B) Customer Value drop down for 600$ so the new demand curve would be P=3900-0.15Q The new ideal output should be 6000 units. If the APP still set the price at 3000 per unit, the sale will fall for 4000 units. If the marginal cost is $1350, the new total profit will be (P-1350)(26000-20P/3) P should be $2625 and Q should be 8500 C) I recommend to keep the profit margin. The first reason is that no statistic shows that APP is over-capacity, which mean if you keep the price, there are still customers will buy the products, they won’t lose. The second reason is that I think APP’s target customer group is not the same as other’s. Just like what is mentioned , the home PC market, the education market, and desktop publishing...
