...Over the past decade, new technologies have come about having astronomically powerful impact on the economy. The leaps and bounds that the technology industry has taken weren't always for the better. The downsides to all of these victories in man vs. machine have come with their problems and a price. These downfalls are far from over and we can expect a global conflict at the hands of technology in the near future. Technology has been used as a theft device in many respects, from jobs to copyrighted property. With unrestricted sources such as the internet, the ways to slow down this moral massacre are few and far between (Per F. Peterson). Many companies fear technology more than they embrace it. Taking the giant leap into the twenty-first century has frightened some veteran companies to enough to keep them from attempting anything as simple as a corporate website. In 1999, there were over 4,000 lawsuits against technologies. All of these claims were staked on the theory that these new technologies were a threat to the companies' clients and profits (Economic Evaluation). Such technologies included handheld devices for stock market observation or software that stored passwords to important restricted files. Devices such as these were originally designed to simplify the process of purchasing and trading stocks. Like-wise, such programs were developed to quicken access to files that may be time-crucial in monetary factors (U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission). Morality...

...for products, services, technology and converting them effectively into opportunities. There are several things that contribute to their driving force /spark behind taking their ideas to execution of starting and running successful enterprises. These are, -- having a clear and large vision, having a leap of faith and a self belief in what they want to achieve, an aggressive ambition, unbounded energy, an obvious inner drive, a passion and a fire in the belly without which it would be absolutely impossible for them to overcome all the small and large ambiguous hurdles they need to cross. Once an enterprise is born, the entrepreneurs strive relentlessly for its successful journey by commercialising and scaling it up. Taking the example of possibly the world’s best known social entrepreneur, Mohammed Yunus, whose hunger to help transform the lives of the bottom rung of the society led him to innovate a completely new banking industry, ‘microfinance’, Grameen Bank. The bank gave small loans to the poorest, without a collateral, purely believing in their credit worthiness. The calculated risk that he courageously took gave him 98% payback returns. His work spread by leaps and bounds worldwide and gained him international attention. The bank scaled worldwide from serving, by microcredit, 7.6 million families, in 1997, to 92 million in 2004. Due to the...

...in tranquility”. He sees poetry as acting like Nature, which touches all living things and inspires and delights them. Therefore, poem is an instrument that draws attention to the hidden, unnoticed beauties of nature. In addition, Wordsworth also emphasizes the relationship between the mind and poetry. The “spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings” leaves an individual incapable of articulating the beauty of nature, thus these feelings should be “recollected in tranquility” and deep thought. “My heart leaps up when I behold” is one of the best poems that convey Wordsworth’s definition The poem encompasses all of the themes central to Romantic movement such as the importance of the emotion, the important of nature, the transience of joy, and the sanctity of childhood. Nature and its connection to humanity makes an appearance in the vast majority of Wordsworth’s poetry, often holding a poem’s focus, thus the important of nature is introduced in the first two lines: “My heart leaps up when I behold/ A Rainbow in the sky.” (Line 1, 2) He is moved emotionally by the beauty of nature and his experience out of doors as he gazes at the sky, as “the spontaneous overflow of human feeling”. Therefore, the connection between him and the nature will be constant until he becomes an old man, or else he would rather die: “So be it when I shall grow old; / Or let me die.”(Line 5,6) Wordsworth always wants to have a natural affinity for nature, as does a child, and always wants to find creative...

...Foreign Market Entry and Diversification Georgia Jefferson Strayer University Abstract This paper will discuss and identify the trends in global beer markets. It will discuss how Modelo’s International expansion was made possible by building strategic partnerships with experienced distributors in local markets. The paper will focus on how Modelo should enter in the foreign market and what is the best strategy. Modelo will face many challenges from his competitors and make the decision whether the company should diversify the business to promote growth. Identify and discuss the trends in the global beer markets. The global beer markets have four main trends and they are consolidation, international expansions, mergers and acquisitions. Consolidation with the beer industry broadens the area of sales and exposes brewers to more opportunities for growth of its company. Expansion of any company can be a positive attribute to overall success for the most obvious reason, revenue. The trend of breweries expansion might be credited to the very expensive initial startup cost of a brewery. In this area of the beer industry having more than one area of cash flow assists with the maintaining the fluctuating price of resources. (Thompson, Strickland III, & Gamble, 2009) International expansion can be a major attribute to a company’s success through seeking proficient production efficiencies. Some beer companies will produce their beer within its country than export...

...The Progress of Technology I would like to know how to speed up the internet ie: data delivery. I think data delivery is going to progress by leaps and bounds in the near future. The internet has been around for quite some time now and it is time for a change in the way data is delivered. Currently it’s by one packet of information (data) at a time. After some research I have learned there are a number of ways people are trying to change this method of data delivery. Some of them are: • Packets • Capsules • Holograms and Lasers • Teleportation I will give a brief explanation of each one and include the advantages and disadvantages. The current technology uses packets which are small files of information wrapped by a header and footer with security information on the both sides. These are the destination the packets are being sent to and the source that the packets are coming from. The advantages are: Packets are very secure because they can use encryption. Key exchange algorithms are used to securely exchange a shared secret value between two computers over an unsecured network connection. The computers exchange information that, when processed by the algorithm, produces the shared secret value. A third computer listening on the network and intercepting network packets between the first two computers cannot determine the shared secret value. The shared secret value can then be used as a session key, or to generate a session key, to encrypt the rest of the communications...

...the great philosopher, Sir Francis Bacon, “Scientia potentia est”, these words may not mean much to everyone in the states but for them it meant knowledge itself is power, the more we know the greater our chance for survival and with the knowledge from native tribes and their pack-like movements we would have an even greater chance at surviving a war. Undoubtedly, some people have already changed their mind about the purchase of land just from the reasons given already in this public announcement. My final reason is as follows. The sheer size of the purchase increases the United States of America’s power. To the point we would be one of the leading countries of the world now that our power has the potential to grow leaps and bounds. The reason for the leap is the presence of the abundant natural resources in this land. If we, the people, support this idea of expanding our country to the point of becoming some sort of super power, we can completely dominate the trade,shipping and monetary economy. All of America would prosper in this golden age of opportunity. In these statements and facts, these are the proper reasons why we should support the government on their decision of buying this land. The government officials have led our country down the path of later success, instead of earlier failure. One cannot create a farm without water, nor can one create a successful business without connections to other businesses, this logic supports the idea that a country cannot be built...

...Although love may occasionally show itself as a muse of Romantic poetry it has very little to do with Romanticism. Romanticism is considered to be an international artistic and philosophical movement that redefined the fundamental ways in which people in Western cultures thought about themselves and about their world.(Brooklyn College) The early Romantic period begins with the first edition of Lyrical Ballads by William Wordsworth - co-written by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. I'm going to specifically refer to three poetic works by Wordsworth when referring to the imagination, nature, and emotion used as components of Romantic Literature: "The Tables Turned", "My Heart Leaps Up", and "I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud." Imagination was considered to be one of the highest faculties of the mind during the Romantic era. The Romantics used their imaginations as the ultimate shaping tool for their literature. It was their creative power in that it was dynamic, active, and provided many functions for creating all art. Wordsworth suggested that it is also the faculty that helps humans to constitute reality for we not only perceive the world around us, but also in part create it. The Romantics are also extremely concerned with the healing nature of the imagination in that it can reconcile differences and opposites in the world of appearance. It inextricably enables us to "read" nature as a system of symbols. (Brooklyn College) Wordsworth uses all aspects of the Romantic view of imagination...

...many people, an assisted dying law would not result in more deaths but is an economically beneficial practice that would create a better quality of life and care for patients, and ultimately will result in fewer people suffering. The opinion about an assisted suicide law is divided into roughly two groups; those who find it unethical and those who argue it would give patients a chance to die with dignity. Although many think that assisted death will start down a slippery slope to a ‘Purge’ like situation. I strongly believe that strict guidelines could prevent such. Through clear strategies and procedures, as a country, we can create a method to allow doctors in assisting terminally ill patients with death. Modern medicine has made leaps and bounds in the recent years past ensuring patients better care and longer lives. Though, in certain situations those longer lives turn into torture. There are two types of human euthanasia, passive and non-aggressive, one of which is already used today. Passive euthanasia is when doctors terminate life-support when a patient is Rougeaux 2 considered brain dead. Although doctors can passively euthanize a patient to alleviate suffering while they are brain dead, the application of non-aggressive euthanasia is constantly debated. Non-aggressive euthanasia, commonly known as assisted suicide, is where terminally ill patients make the decision to end their life instead of going on hospice. Hospice is end-of-life care for terminally ill patients...

...workers in an attempt to be the best in their field, while others insist that competition is but an instinct, bound by blood and instilled into all beings, size and shape disregarded. Every day, you and I compete, simply to live in optimal conditions. Though we may or may not literally fight for or against others, competitiveness is accepted as persistence, the strive for perfection, and understanding that one can always achieve more. Understanding the human nature of competitiveness and how it can be turned into an advantage is paramount to becoming the strongest version of oneself. Social individualism drives the idea of competition; the person that you are differs from your friend, neighbor, and family member. Despite the possibility that all three of these categories could possess traits that belittle some aspects of your personality, one cannot help but have something that they do not. This can be molded into motivation, because persistence will allow you to overcome your weaknesses and hone them until they become strengths, akin to the predator becomes prey or a brother in arms perceiving you as a lifeline. Fervently working at your pace toward a goal and refusing to let it escape your sights, competing with the man trying to take your job will lay that job in your place. Allowing yourself to persist and take what is rightfully yours brings you leaps and bounds towards becoming the strongest version of yourself.

...Technology has revolutionized our world in the past 20 years, with the rise of cellular phones, the Internet, and later, social media. While the leaps and bounds have led to amazing advances that have improved the quality of life for millions or even billions of people, there are significant drawbacks to adopting new technology to an extreme degree. Technology changes the way people think and feel -Lack of Social Skills The use of online social media outlets causes us to meet face-to-face with much less frequency resulting in a lack of much needed social skills. We lose the ability to read body language and social cues in other people. -Limiting ability of creation and thinking We can find out everything on Internet with available websites such as: Google, YouTube…instead of thinking. -Addicting to the technology makes human isolated from the real world. We lack of contact with other people in normal daily living, such as, the workplace, with friends and in social activities. We isolate ourselves by walking around in our own little world. We spend lots of time on chatting on Facebook, Zalo ,…,sending messages, calling by phone instead of meeting directly. At the same time, human workers retain less value, which is a disadvantage of technological advances. Because machines automate processes and do the work of 10 people with one computer, companies find they don't need to employ as many people to get the job done. People will become lazy and passive because there are...

...Digital Computer Crime There are multiple different scenarios in which computers can play a part in crime. Technology has made significant leaps and bounds in the last three-quarters of a century, which is truly astonishing (Taylor, Fritsch, & Liederbach, 2015). While it is wonderful for thousands of citizens across the world to be able to communicate instantly back and forth, there is a percentage of people that use computers, the Internet, and electronic communication to cause harm to others. It can be frustrating to understand exactly how to keep yourself safe in this world that is largely ran by computers, therefore, the following paragraphs will go in depth on what digital computer crime is and how you can be protected. To begin, there are four major categories of digital computer crime. The first category is classified as the computer as a target (Taylor, et al., 2015). This means when the computer itself is a target, the attacker is trying to deny the legitimate user of the system access to his or her data or computer (Taylor, et al., 2015). The intruder targets the server and can cause harm to the network owners or the operation of their company (Taylor, et al., 2015). An example in this category would be the alteration of data. The enemy could attack the useful information that is stored or processed by the computer, which could alter decisions made by the company or could directly impact the user by changing their records (Taylor, et al., 2015). ...

...Executive Summary Kroger & It’s Vision Kroger is a company founded by and pretty much made what it is today by one man Bernard Kroger. It has a great base for people to come in and enjoy their products. Kroger is constantly refining its main strategy used to target people and get the best use out of its products. Kroger is always trying to make leaps above its competition and draw more people into its place of work. It has kept low prices since it started in the early 1900’s. Kroger is one of the few big retail chains out in the market today that still cares more about its customers than being the biggest and baddest company out there. Now with that said I’m not saying that Kroger doesn’t want to make the most money possible but what I am saying is that it still cares about the little guy. Kroger to the average person is the gentle giant. Its ranked 2nd in the nation in terms of stores behind Wal-Mart but in the grocery category its head honcho. It is the number 1 grocery store in America and plans to stay there for as long as possible and with the fact that they keep trying to reinvent themselves and add new stuff and new things to their stores each year it should not be that hard of a goal to accomplish. History of Kroger Kroger throughout the years has been an economic superpower in many different senses. Kroger was founded and made famous by one man with a dream. A dream to create a great Business with values and fundamentals that should...

...myself. Each one is dated 9th, 17th and 26th January 2012 respectively. The three were quite interesting for Leanne, as one was her first ever fitting of a hearing aid, the second was observational on a unique type of specialist hearing aid, and the third was assessing of a patient for hearing aid suitability. It was agreed that these three sessions encompassed all aspects in Audiology she may come across in her future career. For example, she can fit a hearing aid, she can assess a patient and she has learnt that not all fittings are straight forward, for those presenting with a unique problem(s). The end product is patient satisfaction, provide a solution for the patient and to support that in practise. Leanne has come on in leaps and bounds since her early days in the department. She is confident, but finds it difficult to ask questions. However, she does manage talk about things in the appointment through her reflective reporting. This is something I may need to talk with her about when I have the final meeting with her. But I am not overly concerned at this moment in time. The 3 reflective reports that Leanne produces is of good quality, informative and reasonably accurate. It also highlights aspects of training she mentions that we both have undertaken together in the appointment, so I suppose she is reporting her own training and that of mine in her words, that I can use as evidence that can be signed off. Each three reflective reports enclosed have been signed...
