...Penang cuisine is the cuisine of the multicultural society of Penang, Malaysia. Most of these cuisines are sold at road-side stalls, known as "hawker food". Penang has the reputation as being the "food paradise" in the region as it offers a diverse and exotic mix of Malay, Indian, Chinese and western cuisine, which reflects the multicultural mix of the city. It is popular among locals and tourists alike. Local Penangites mostly find these hawker fares cheaper and easier to eat out at any time of the day due to the hawker stalls all around Penang island. So much so that it was recently voted one of the top food destinations by New York Times readers. On February 22, 2013, Penang was ranked by CNN Travel as one of the top ten street food cities in Asia. Locally known as “hawker food” because it was traditionally prepared and sold by vendors who roamed the streets shouting out their wares, there is a huge variety from noodles to rice originated by the different races which make up Penang’s rich culture. However, we have more than that: we have both street food and home-cooked food, all equally popular with young and old, locals and visitors alike. One of the food is Penang laksa also known as asam laksa from the Malay for tamarind, comes from the Malaysian island of Penang. It is made with mackerel soup and its main distinguishing feature is the asam or tamarind which gives the soup a sour taste. The fish is poached and then flaked.

...herself. But Nellie Bly is most well-known for her famous trip around the world in 1889, where many told her she couldn’t do it, she proved them wrong. Nellie was born in the suburb of Armstrong County, Pennsylvania under the name Elizabeth Jane Cochran. Her father, Michael Cochran, a hard working mill employee, eventually bought the mill and the surrounding land, showing his children that hard work pays off and that nothing is impossible. As a young girl, Nellie attended boarding school for only one term, because she unfortunately was forced to drop out due to lack of funds. In 1880, Nellie and her family moved to Pittsburgh. During her stay here, Nellie read an editorial in The Pittsburgh Dispatch entitled "What Girls Are Good For." The article was about how women should not have an education or career, suggesting they should stray no further than the home and motherly duties. This, of course infuriated Nellie, as it did many women. She wrote a reply to the editor, George Madden signed "Little Orphan Girl." Madden was so impressed by the reply, he offered her a full-time job writing under the name Nellie Bly. Which is where the name came from, and stuck. Nellie Bly avoided the normal topics women normally wrote about such as gardening or fashion in that time and wrote about topics such as the poor and troubled. She also focused her early work on the difficulty of working women. Nellie was next sent on a six month trip to Mexico. She wrote of her travels to Madden, who published...

...system. Introduction The TRIPS Agreement There must be few people that disagree that there are benefits from engaging in trade. Trade across borders has occurred since the early part of human history, and international trading has developed from countries trading within their own borders. The WTO system can be argued not to be a free trade model but as a practical commercial arrangement between member nations. The World Trade Organization (WTO) and its predecessor, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) have been enormously successful over the last 50 years at reducing tariff and other trade barriers among an ever increasing number of countries. If numbers of member nations are an indication of success then the WTO can be considered to be very successful. Crowley (2003) comments that GATT the predecessor to the WTO began in 1947 with only 23 members; Statistics from the website of the WTO show that on the 27th July 2007 the membership of the WTO comprised 151 countries. Several differences between GATT and the WTO can be noted. The first development is the rise of the importance of developing countries within the WTO. The issue of development is not new in either the GATT or the WTO, but it has been gaining increasing importance. The increase in WTO membership represents an increase in developing country membership. Countries such as India and Brazil play an increasingly important role in the WTO Enforcement of the TRIPS agreement The TRIPS agreement sets...
