Write a three to four (3-4) paragraph essay (250 words) which analyzes the “surprise ending” of the reading selection. APA format. Topic Choices: * Reading selection from Swift’s A Modest Proposal. Swift begins with offering the solution that the English could do things which might solve the problem of over-population and the mistreatment of citizens in Ireland and ends by offering the solution that an internal change in the Irish government would best solve the problem of over-population and a populace victimized by its own government. Read more about A Modest Proposal located at http://www.victorianweb.org/previctorian/swift/modest.html. For the reading selection you choose: 1. Clearly state in your own words the “surprise ending” in the reading you selected. Identify the point in the reading when you realized that the ending would be different from what the beginning of the reading suggested that it would be. 2. Since you were expecting a different ending, evaluate how successful the author was in convincing you to accept the validity of the “surprise ending” that was not clearly suggested at the beginning. * Include a cover page containing the tile of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date.

...Assignment #1 Part A: 1. What are the major differences between pure play e-commerce and bricks-and-clicks operations? What are the benefits and limitations of each? A pure play operation is only online, and there is no physical interaction between the company and the customer. This could be considered a limitation as some consumers rely on physical interaction. A benefit for a pure play operation is that there is online deals, and a large market structure that could provide more consumers if advertised correctly. A bricks-and-clicks operation has both a physical store and sells products or services online. This is a benefit as those customers who buy in the physical store will already know the brand names. There is already an established distribution channel, as well as established customers. A limitation would be that some customers aren't used to buying online or the legacy systems. 2. One of the key motivations for developing an e-commerce site is immediate access to a much larger market. Explain why an increased market reach may have benefits, and describe its limitations. An online market would increase potential sales by advertising to more customers which they might not have reach possibly in a physical store. Limitations would consist of connection problems for customers and perhaps even to the provider's service. Also there could possibly be fraud issues with potential hackers. Another limitation co-insides to the benefit of reaching a new marketing geographic...

...Assignment 1 Assignment 1 HRM530 Date: April 22, 2012 1. Describe your approach to this new client in terms of relying upon knowledge you have gained working with other similar situations. South Korean business would be the choice of a new client. In order to effectively adhere to their needs the choice of approach would be the regiocentric staffing approach. This approach will allow us to have an understanding of HRM policies that are given across all the subsidiaries. “This approach considers the needs of the entire region and managers from the host country are often selected for managerial positions in their own country and some may be promoted to regional positions” (McGraw-Hill, 2011). This lets our client know that we are all about finding the best person for the job. This is somewhat the same of what is done in the military in South Korea. The SOFA agreement prevents the United States Government from hiring mostly Americans for the jobs. The agreement is that the Korean Nationals are to hold at least 75% of the jobs on base. That has proven to be true. Every store and restaurant on every base in South Korea is operated by Koreans. It is not easy for any American to get a simple part time job. This is why regiocentic staffing would prove to work effectively. That way jobs are filled based on their nationality in order to keep the confidence of having a new client relationship with the United States. 2. Identify the areas of overlap in the new client organization with...

...XXXXXX XXXX Biology 101 15 September 2014 Writing Assignment 1 1. Scientific Method Step 1: Make Observations. A researcher notices that people who drink coffee are at a lower risk of having type 2 diabetes. They wonder if it is because of the caffeine that is inside of the coffee that is responsible for this. Step 2: Propose a hypothesis to explain observation. The researcher hypothesizes that the caffeine inside of coffee reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes. Step 3: Test the hypothesis with further observations or experiments. The researcher sets up an experiment in the lab with two groups of mice (one of 11 and the other of 10). The group of 11 mice are given water and the other group of 10 mice are given diluted black coffee. The experiment is conducted over a five week period. The diets and living conditions are the same for both groups of mice. Blood glucose was monitored and logged each week for all mice. Step 4: Analyze data. After five weeks of the experiment, the researcher realized that there was no significant change in body weight for the mice in each group. The mice that drank water had a significant increase in blood glucose concentrations compared to the mice that drank diluted coffee. The mice that drank the diluted coffee had a 30 percent decrease in blood glucose concentrations compared to the mice that drank water. Step 5: State conclusions about hypothesis based on data analysis. The researcher concludes that the test subjects...

All of the software that we use to make out computers useful is created by individuals known as programmers or software developers. 2. Identify the hardware associated with a computer. The term hardware refers to all of the physical devices, or components, that a computer is made of. A computer is not one single device , but a system of devices that all work together.
