...Rafael Asmar Which city is better? 5 months ago, I was in my country and my parents told me that I had to make a big decision, they told me that if I wanted to be a pilot, I had to know English, I thought that it was so real. My parents suggested me to go to Cincinnati because it is a good city to learn English, but really I wanted Chicago because it is bigger and I have more things to do. Superficially, there are some similarities between Chicago and Cincinnati, but really there are a lot of differences. There are a few similar characteristics between Chicago and Cincinnati. Both Chicago and Cincinnati are located in The United States of America; Chicago is the principal city in Illinois and Cincinnati is one of the principal cities in Ohio. Chicago has a good education, and Cincinnati too. The people in Chicago are polite and kind, because they always try to help the other people similar to the people in Cincinnati. There are some differences between Chicago and Cincinnati. Chicago has cold and windy weather. However, Cincinnati has cold weather, but its not colder and windy as Chicago. But both cities have four seasons per year. Chicago has a big and beautiful downtown because there are many things to do, such as: eat in elegant restaurants, nightclubs, cinemas and many things that you could enjoy. In contrast, Cincinnati has a small and horrible downtown because we don't have anything to do there, because there are a lot of buildings and office. Chicago...

...decoratively. The head of the Oseberg ship was easily the most detailed and decorated part of the ship. The master carver used a stylized form of a serpents head with fangs bared and idealized flaring nostrils and wide open eyes. Carved in-the-round, the serpent’s head appears reared back as if ready to strike. It is intricately carved with open spaces and what appear to be metallic inlays of some sort. As the metal would catch the rays of the sun, it would also add to the belief that it was a real sea serpent with the sun glinting off its scales and eyes aglow. An indicator that the carving was influenced by other cultures such as Iraq, are the wide open eyes and the unibrow of the serpent as seen on the statues from the Abu Temple at Tell Asmar. (Schneider Adams) The prow, like the rest of the ship was carved from oak as it was, for a time, plentiful but later gave way to other types of timber. The head would stare straight ahead and was never carved as to appear looking anywhere else and looks just as fierce from the profile. We don’t know about what tools may have been available other than the obvious tools that would have been used to process the timber from trees into a ship, but we need to acknowledge that more intricate tools had to exist. It is clear that the craftsmen or women who carved these animalistic designs had an appreciation for beautiful objects. Upon close inspection of the carving, you can see the finer details of Anglo-Saxon interlace common in medieval...

...Individual Assignment (#2) “Hasbro Interactive, Case Study” Strategic Marketing Management (MKT 600) Done By: Dima El Jalbout ID#: 23406 Submitted to: Dr. Elie Asmar Academic Year: Spring 2015-2016 Date: Monday, March 14, 2016 Long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away families had a game night—once a week they'd pull out a stack of boxes from a closet and everyone would flex their knowledge of trivia (Trivial Pursuit), vocabulary (Scrabble), or even their real-estate management skills (Monopoly). All these childhood memories, the related games and much more were created by “Hasbro, Inc”. Unfortunately the company end up being sold to another French company due to many failures discussed below. After Hasbro Inc and Hasbro Interactive and all the rapid growth and success the company has had, it began acquiring software firms and became separate divisions instead of one united entity. The owner was over optimistic; he set very high target sales and revenues which led to lots of missed targets and caused Hasbro interactive to start losing money. Structural challenges were many from which we can mention: * Hasbro’s related companies departments didn’t report to the main division, * No strategic plans for the company (other than acquiring as many companies with no consideration of the prices), * Main division set very aggressive sales expectations due to overconfidence, * Huge revenues gained by Hasbro interactive were spent on large employees’...

...Mesopotamia, an ancient Greek term meaning “the land between rivers”, is considered to be the cradle of civilization because this is where we find the origins of agriculture, written language, and cities. It was known as the land between two rivers, the Tigris to the north and the Euphrates to the south. Rains were seasonal in this area, which meant that the land flooded in the winter and spring and water was scarce at other times. Farming in the region depended on irrigation from the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. In ancient times, many resources in Mesopotamia were scarce or absent, which stimulated trade within the region and beyond. Supported by lucrative trade with its neighbors, Mesopotamia grew to become a powerful empire. Life in Mesopotamia Prehistory The settlement of humans in the Near East began with the movement of Homo erectus off the African continent roughly 2 million years ago during the Paleolithic period. Over the course of several thousand years, Homo erectus spread rapidly throughout the Near East and then into Europe and Southeast Asia. The first three phases of the Paleolithic period (Lower, Middle, and Upper) extend from roughly 2.5 million years BC through 14,000 BC. Each phase is defined by changes in human habitat, stone tool technology, and diet. During most of that time, humans lived in open-air campsites and in small natural caves. They hunted wild animals and fished, gathered wild plants, and wandered over a large geographic area. During...

...Leading the Rescue of the Miners in Chile Disaster struck on August 5, 2010. Thirty-three miners, drilling 700 meters (2,300 feet) below the surface, were entombed by a massive cave-in. They had been working in a medium-sized copper and gold mine beneath the moonlike wilderness of the Atacama Desert near the city of Copiapó, Republic of Chile (Chile), some 800 kilometers (500 miles) north of the country’s capital, Santiago. Chilean Mining Minister Laurence Golborne had arrived in Quito, Ecuador, at 9 p.m. that same day with Chilean President Sebastián Piñera on a state visit. At 11 p.m., Golborne’s smart phone came to life with a message whose brevity spoke urgency: “Mine cave-in, Copiapó; 33 victims.” Golborne informed the president the next morning and flew on commercial air flights to Lima, Peru, and then to Santiago. He then took a Chilean Air Force (FACH) flight to Copiapó, and, from there, he was driven some 45 kilometers to the mine, finally arriving at 3:30 a.m. on August 7. Piñera, a business-friendly Chilean president inaugurated on March 11, 2010, had recruited Golborne, an engineer, entrepreneur, and corporate executive, to serve as Chile’s minister of mines. Golborne had served as chief executive of Cencosud S.A., a large retail firm, and under his leadership, the company had increased annual sales ten-fold, entered the Brazilian, Colombian, and Peruvian markets, and opened two new business lines, including financial William and Jacalyn Edgar Professor of Management...
