...Ha, like many refugees around the world has to face challenges that cause them to feel inside out, such as danger and fear. In the book Inside Out & Back Again, Ha says,(Lai,63) “Everyone knows the ship can sink.” Consequently, the amount of people on the ship is making the amount of danger and fear rise. Still, the author is giving a sense of fear and danger when he writes,(Shapiro) “The Kirk would be headed into hostile territory by itself.” In fact, the Kirk is alone and headed into uncharted waters, and the chances of getting demolished by the communists is going up by the second. A different perspective from Ha was, (Lai,63) “Bodies cram…” My analysis of the quote is, the amount of bodies aboard the ship is making the chances of getting...

...SWOT Analysis * Human Resources- Staffs Strengths: La Belleza Salon and Spa salon has 9 staffs. This indicates that the salon is not that big compared to known salons like Bench Fix, Davids’ salon and other salons who has branches in different cities. With this, having only 9 staffs is easy to manage and to communicate with staffs and the manager. The salaries expense is not that big as well because the salon has few staffs. Weaknesses: For the information that the market of the salon to where it is located consists of 8,000 residences living in that subdivision. Therefore, the salon doesn’t have enough staffs to handle with the market people they have. They will have hard time handling the customers especially when customers are coming in and out continuously. The customers won’t be patient enough to wait for their turn since the salon is new. * Physical Resources- Location Strengths: La Belleza Nail and Spa salon is new, so basically their equipments are also new. The furnitures and the interior of the salon are fresh so people would love to visit and try their services. Renovation is not needed.

...representative for a five (5) month period in 2013 and compares it to the same five (5) months in 2014. The comparison takes place after advertising accounts under three thousand dollars ($3k) are moved to an inside sales representative. The data was analyzed and the hypothesis that an advertiser spending under $3k increases their spend when moved to an inside sales representative, while the alternate hypothesis was rejected. Keywords: advertising revenue, outside sales representative. Relationship Between Advertiser and Sales Representative Introduction: The newspaper industry is facing a decline in advertising dollars, a major source of revenue and has to do more with less money. Almost half – 46% – of the world’s population visits newspaper websites, but newspaper comprise just 6% of total visits, 0.8% of page viewed and 1.1% of total time spent with digital platforms.(Marketing Charts staff, 2014) Newspaper advertising is down over fifty percent in the last five years alone. (Perry, Mark J., 2013) One of the problems facing the newspaper industry is to identify weather advertisers respond with more advertising dollars when they have a face to face (outside) sales representative or when they have a call on the phone or an email to them from an inside only sales representative. Inside sales representative are typically less expensive and...

...- Background Information: Boyle’s Law has a relationship where for a fixed mass of gas, at a constant temperature, the product is a constant, (pressure x volume). If Volume increases, pressure has to decrease to keep it constant. The formula of Boyle’s Law used is P1xV1=P2xV2. When the volume of a container containing gas is bigger the pressure of the gas particles is less because there is more space for the particles to move in. Otherwise, the smaller the volume in the container the pressure is bigger because the gas particles have to be stuck inside at a closer distance, more compressed together. “Boyle observed that the product of pressure and volume are looked at to create a perfect constant between them. The product of volume and pressure is an exact constant for a certain amount of gas in an area” (T.Benson, NASA Physicist). - Research Question: How does the amount of volume (cm3) affect the pressure (n/m2) recorded by a gas syringe? - If the volume (cm3) is decreased in the gas syringe, then the pressure at it’s inside will increase due to the fact that the particles are being more compressed together in a small space. Hypothesis: 1 Thursday, December 3, 2015 - METHOD: - Variables: Independent: Volume of the syringe. Where the syringes maximum capacity was 20(ml/ cc), we used volumes decreased by 2, starting at 20, decreasing to 18, 16,14 and 12. Dependent: The pressure (n/m2) of the syringe measured in Kilo Pascals (kPa), being increased as the volume...

...lonely when he first step foot on the place. He cannot see other children whom he can play with. One day, Bruno peeked through his new bedroom’s window and saw what he think was a farm. He then asked his mother if he could play with the children at the farm. At first, his mother agreed to it but when he mentioned that something was strange about the people in the farm, his mother asked him what was it. Bruno answered that the people in the farm are all wearing pajamas. He also mentioned that their servant, named Pavel, is also wearing the odd clothing. That’s when it hit Bruno’s mother about what her son has seen which he shouldn’t have. It was not a farm. It was a Jewish concentration camp. After learning about it, Bruno’s mother decided to close his window and restrict him from going to the back garden. Bruno, being a boy with a wandering and curious mind, decided to sneak out to the back garden. Finally,...

...is basically a vision based skincolour segmentation method for moving hand in real time application [3]. This algorithm is based on three main steps: hand segmentation, hand tracking and gesture recognition from hand features. For the hand segmentation step we use the colour cue due to the characteristic colour values of human [1]. The hands are recognized by the computer using the skin colour as one of the basic features for the hand recognition. The important feature is the accurate segmentation of hands [3]. I. Introduction Nowadays, the majority of the human-computer interaction (HCI) is based on mechanical devices such as keyboards, mouse, joysticks or gamepads. In recent years there has been a growing interest in a class of methods based on computational vision due to its ability to recognise human gestures in a natural way .These methods use as input the images acquired from a camera or from a stereo pair of cameras. The main goal of these algorithms is to measure the hand configuration in each time instant. Our application uses images from a lowcost web camera placed in front of the hand. The hand must be localized in the image and segmented from the background before recognition. The pixels are selected from the hand. The selected pixels are transformed from the RGB-space to the HSL-space for taking the Chroma information: hue and saturation. Figure 1: Configuration...

...to develop plants inside? Examination on testing the rate of development of a plant utilizing distinctive light situations inside. Our theory is whether we utilize a glaring light then the plant development would be higher in quality (tallness and fitness) on the grounds that it supplies better supplemental light and the plant has a superior shot of survival contrasted with the brilliant light. The plant that is developed underneath a bright light has a more risk of survival on the grounds that glowing lights are excessively hot and can blaze the plant if to close. For this trial you would require two lights (little work area lights) and one bright light and one brilliant light. Additionally you would require three plants one to go under the glaring light and one to go under the glowing light and one to put in the sun to perceive how the plant would typically develop. The vital thing that you requirement for each plant is water which gives oxygen. To set this trial up everything you need is clean zone, for example, a table. Put two of the plants on the table and spread them out then set the light right beside them and have the light point towards that plant for the "daylight". Keep light on for 12 hours a day and check once/twice every week. Every plant began at the stature of 3cm and we developed then for 3 weeks. The plant that developed the most out of the three plants was the plant in the sun which grew 10 cm. The plants under the bright lights grew 1cm from the 1st week and...

...Theme Analysis Prompt Are you pleased or satisfied of where you are from? Or would you change it? In the story, “Dark They Were and Golden Eyed” by Ray Bradbury, a character named Harry Bittering adapted to the lifestyle of becoming a Martian, or in other words, he changed his culture. In the article, ‘I Am From” by Alicia Bareno, Alicia is possibly an immigrant who refuses to forget her culture. In each of these texts, the characters or authors themself either lose a culture or holds onto one. Changing or keeping a culture changes who you are, inside and out. Changing a culture affects you because it determines what you look like and what you act like. ”Mr. Bittering gazed at the Earth settlement far way in the low valley. ‘Such odd, such ridiculous houses the Earth people built.” This quote from the text indicates that Mr. Bittering (and his family) are no longer accepting their culture they had when they were on Earth, that he is not even referring to himself. Because Mr. Bittering and his family drew away from their original culture, it has changed what they act and look like. “The town’s empty, but we found native life in the hills, sir. Dark people. Yellow eyes. Very friendly. We talked a bit, not much. They learn English fast. I’m sure our relations will be most friendly with them, sir.” Because the Bittering family was willing to lose their culture they became Martians. The story acts as a metaphor, because people are willing to give up a culture, they will become...

...Cartoon Analysis. Name: Wai Yuen Course: Composition II Lecturer: Institution: City & State: Date: The cartoonist, David Horsey, use symbolism theme of a soldier and a wolf to illustrate the U.S military withdrawal from Iraq. He vividly depicts the western Coalition troops' situation in Iraq by placing the soldier inside a treacherous and hideous wolf's mouth. The soldier represents the western Coalition troops while the wolf represents Iraq. He is trapped inside the wolf's mouth and surrounded by its sharp teeth. His eyes are wide open and focused outside the wolf’s mouth as if requesting for external help from that situation. He has a helmet on his head to emphasize how hostile his environment is with situations such as bomb attacks being one of them. In the cartoon, we see the soldier within inches of the wolf's tongue, and if he advances further he may be rolled up by and engulfed by it. Consequently, he cannot withdraw himself due to the surrounding sharp teeth which can tear him into pieces. The wolf looks barbaric and ferocious, an image which is an analogous description of some nomad countries which apprehend international peaceful treaties. The cartoonist further scribbles “Iraq" on the head of the wolf to drive the point home about who he is referring to. The phrase “Whatever you think of how I got in here, you have to agree the tricky part will be getting out." was the only statement by the soldier in the entire drawing. This statement carries...

...1 A “real” European Union World order is going to change in the near future. This year 2012 will be remembered as the year the European Union become a reality. There are three big events occurring this year that are promoting a larger economic, political and social unity inside the EU. A united Europe is a project that has taken a long time to create and that had overcome many difficulties. All the indefinitions in the EU in the past have created many problems in the present, but now they work as a pressure mechanism to conclude the project and correct those indefinitions. If this goal of a united Europe is reached, the consequences will be tremendous because the EU will become the largest economy of the world, and it will have enough power to change the world in different ways. The development of the essay will follow a chronological perspective. First are going to be analyzed the problems in Europe before the EU and show the developments as a clue to develop new theories of what can happen in the future. This future is going to be a consequence of the events happening this year and it will be the second point of analysis. The third one will be the theory of the future creation of a real European Union after this year events. Finally, the consequences and importance in the future of the EU created due to the events of this year. Past In a diachronic perspective, the European Union was something difficult to think as a reality when the project was being born, but the overcome...

Surprisingly, it has achieved its fame and fortune by essentially relying on designing, manufacturing, selling, and servicing a relatively stable product: two wheels, a 45 V-Twin engine, and a set of handlebars. The most striking distinction about Harley is not the fact that it is successful in selling a single product for over one hundred years, but the fact that its motorcycles have maintained its attractiveness with a broad range of consumers. Outlaw bikers, investment bankers, and people in the middle of a midlife crisis, all seem to be drawn to its lure. Harley can attract such a melting pot of consumers because it is a representation of the American dream…Freedom. ------------------------------------------------- Section II: Company History Harley-Davidson enjoyed a decent amount of success soon after its inception in 1903.
