...The Fisher King is a great example of the hero's journey because it was not only one, but two heroes journeys. This is quite significant since most journeys have only particular main character that is accompanied by a party of members that help them overcome obstacles and help the character change. Jack, one of the main characters, is forced to atone for his actions when he realizes that he ruined Parry’s life by his radio show convincing someone that he will always be alone and never find love in the world. Parry was apart of the collateral damage and lost his wife during the shooting. In the beginning in of their relationship Jack just thought that Parry was just completely insane and had felt he had to get him off of his back. Their relationship...

...Archetypal elements are expressed in many ways in The Natural. The characters of Roy Hobbs and Pop Fisher are both based on the mythology of Sir Perceval and the Holy Grail. Filmmakers of The Natural also demonstrated mythological and archetypal elements with most of the shots in the film. The character of Roy Hobbs can be seen as Sir Perceval, one of the Knights of the Round Table. The most obvious example of this is that Sir Perceval was a knight of the Round Table and Roy Hobbs plays for the New York Knights. In the legend of Sir Perceval, he goes on a quest in search of the Holy Grail. Roy Hobbs is on a journey to succeed as a baseball player and the Holy Grail being the pennant. Another example of a mythological element in the film is Roy’s bat, wonder boy, as it represents King Arthurs’s Excalibur. Roy Hobbs’s character also loosely follows the story of The Odyssey. In that story, Odysseus goes on a quest, but is struck down by Calypso and it takes him twenty years to return home. In The Natural Roy goes on a quest to be the best there ever was. He meets a woman named Harriet and is shot by her, it takes him sixteen years to get back in the game. Another character in the film The Natural is Pop Fisher, and he can be related to the Fisher King. The Fisher King was a broken man who guarded the Holy Grail. The only one who could heal the Fisher King was Sir Perceval. In the film, Pop Fisher is the coach of the New York Knights who were a far below average baseball team. Roy Hobbs...

...On May 31, 2007, United Breweries Holdings Limited (UBH), the parent company of Kingfisher Airlines (Kingfisher), a 'value carrier'1 based in Bangalore, acquired a 26 percent stake in Deccan Aviation Private Limited (DAP), which owned Air Deccan (Deccan), the pioneer of low-cost airline in India, also based in Bangalore. UBH paid Rs. 5.5 billion2 to acquire the stake, which made it the largest shareholder in DAP.3UBH said that it would subsequently make an open offer to all the shareholders of DAP, for an additional 20 percent stake.4 Vijay Mallya (Mallya), the Chairman of UBH (and Kingfisher) who became the Vice-Chairman of Deccan after the acquisition (Ramki Sundaram became the CEO and Capt. G. R. Gopinath - formerly the Managing Director of Deccan - became the Executive Chairman of Deccan after the acquisition), said that the Kingfisher-Deccan combine would cover both low and premium fare segments. It was announced soon after the acquisition that Deccan would continue with its low-cost business model.5 The airline would also focus mostly on Tier II and III city routes, while Kingfisher would operate on the high density metro routes.6 The Kingfisher-Deccan combine became the largest domestic airline in India in terms of fleet size, with 71 aircraft.7 The combined entity offered 537 flights to 69 cities daily.8 In addition to this, the combined market share of Kingfisher-Deccan was estimated to be about 30 percent, positioning them in the second place after Jet Airways...

...About the Airline Industry: In December 1912, the first domestic air route was opened between Delhi and Karachi by The Indian State Air Services (in collaboration with Imperial Airways of the UK). This marked a new beginning in India. Three years later, Tata Sons started a regular airmail service between Karachi and Madras. At that time, there were a few transport companies operating within and also beyond the frontiers of the country, carrying both air cargo and passengers. Some of these were Tata Airlines, Indian National Airways, Air Service of India, Deccan Airways, Ambica Airways, Bharat Airways and Mistry Airways. The Tata Airlines was converted into a public limited company in the year 1946 and renamed Air India Limited. In 1948 a joint sector company-Air India International was established by the Government of India and Air India headed by J.R.D. Tata. In 1953, the Parliament passed the Air Corporation Act. Air India International and Indian Airlines Corporation came into formal existence and Air India International was nationalized. The Indian Aviation sector was liberalized in commence in 1990 with private sector players being allowed to operate as air taxi operators in India. A number of private players commenced domestic operations like Damania, East-West, Modiluft, Air Sahara and NEPC, entered the industry. However, a decade later none of them have survived. Today the Indian Aviation sector is dotted with new players like Air...

...Explore the significance of the elements of political protest in this extract. Remember to include in your answer relevant detailed analysis of the ways Bolt has shaped meanings. In this extract from A Man for All Seasons, Robert Bolt carefully constructs language and visual effect for the audience to explore political themes, including the nature of power and its relationship to the individual, notions of justice, and guilt. The choice of a trial scene also allows an examination of the entrapment of the individual at the hands of a ruthless state. From the start of the extract the playwright's language and register seems to befit the setting of the scene in terms of its historical context and being in a court of law, with phrases such as "betokened" and "traitorously". This provides a convincing scene for the audience, in which Bolt can explore more universal political ideas. First, Bolt examines the nature of power through the language he chooses, particularly with regard to the power invested in the prosecutor. For example, Cromwell's charge against More includes three examples of tautology: "traitorously and maliciously", "deny and deprive" and "undoubted certain". The use of excessive emotive language and rhetorical devices demonstrates Cromwell's ability to launch an emphatic and powerful charge revealing his bullying and perhaps also his lust for power. The fact that Bolt gives the prosecutor in a court such a facility with language gives Cromwell power and authority...

...HLT 362V Exercise 36 Questions to be graded 1-10 1. The researchers found a significant difference between the two groups (control and treatment) for change in mobility of the women with osteoarthritis (OA) over 12 weeks with the results of F ₍₁‚ ₂₂₎ = 9.619, p=0.005. Discuss each aspect of these results. Answer: The F value at 5% level of significance shows a significant difference between the control and the treatment groups. Therefore, the null hypothesis should be rejected because the p value 0.005 is less than 0.05 which means that the control and the treatment groups are different. 2. State the null hypothesis for the Baird and Sands (2004) study that focuses on the effect of the GI PMR treatment on the patients’ mobility level. Should the null hypotheses be rejected for the difference the two groups in change in mobility scores over 12 weeks? Provide a rationale for your answer. Answer: The null hypothesis would be that the means between the two groups, the control group and the treatment group will be equal. Since the p value is 0.005 0.01, the result is not statistically significant. Therefore, I would accept the null hypothesis because there is no difference between the control group and the treatment group. 6. Can ANOVA be used to test proposed relationship or predicted correlations between variables in a single group? Provide a rationale for your answer. Answer: No. ANOVA cannot be used to test proposed relationship or predicted correlations...

It was ]anuary of 201,0 and she and her colleagues were about to review the first retail sales results following a major strategic initiative to reposition and evolve the EILEEN FISHER brand. 2009 marked the 25tri anniversary of EILEEN FISHER and the occasion gave the company the impetus to pause and assess its history. The company had enjoyed phenomenal success in its first quarter century: its growth in revenues and profits had been driven by both the skong brand loyalty of its core customers, and the opening of fifty retail stores dedicated to the brand. The company was consistently recognized as oue of the best companies to work for and had an impressive environmental sustainability and social responsibility- record. However, a startling discovery had emerged. The median customer age was currently at 59 and increasing each year, keeping pace with the age of the company's visionary founder, Eileen Fisher. Despite the company's best efforts to design age-less clothing to appeal to multiple generations, as Fisher herself aged, so too had the customer base. The company found itself stereotyped as a brand for older, and, to some extent, customers with...

...Analysis of Research Report Mara Morris Statistical Applications HCS/438 May 4, 2014 Silvio Di Gregorio Analysis of Research Report Introduction The article “How much do parents know about first aid for burns” presents results of a two-month study conducted at University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff. The premise of the study was to verify if a relationship existed between the general knowledge of initial first-aid treatment for burns and age, gender, education, ethnicity and socioeconomic status. The Statistical Procedures Mentioned in the Study Pearson’s chi-squared test was used to determine if there was any correlation between genders, education level, age and first-aid knowledge. The use of logistic regression was employed so that all variables could be compared. There was found to be insufficient data collected to evaluate any relationship based on ethnicity. The Conclusions Reached in the Study It was concluded that people of lower socioeconomic status were less likely to have knowledge of initial first-aid treatment for burns. They were also less likely to have had any first-aid training. Persons of a higher socioeconomic status were more likely to have received first-aid education, which 40% of those stated they had received their first-aid training through their workplace. The study did not show any statistical significance for gender or age in the basic knowledge of first-aid for burns, but did show that prior first-aid training reflected better knowledge...

...NHL Regression Analysis Write-Up 1. I chose the topic because I am a big hockey fan, namely the Los Angeles Kings, who I have been following for quite a while. I am trying to find out whether the amount of goals scored, the number of minutes penalized and a Canadian nationality correlates to a player's salary amount. 2. I think my model will predict estimates of the conditional expectation of my dependent variable (annual salary), given the independent variables (goals, PIM & Canadian nationality). I expect the b for x1 (goals) to be positive as the more goals one scores, it warrants higher skill, thus higher pay. I expect the b value for x2 (PIM) to be negative as an increase of penalty minutes translates into less playing time which can result in lesser opportunities to score/assist on plays. Also, players that accumulate more penalty minutes are more likely to play the role of "enforcer" than "goal scorer", thus are historically paid less than most players. I expect the b value of x3 (Canadian Nationality) to be positive as most players in the National Hockey League are of Canadian nationality. 3. The coefficient parameter for annual salary, goals, penalty minutes and nationality are as respectively follows: 39058.28, -10044.7929 and -354824.588. B0: This intercept literally means if goals and PIM were 0 while nationality was not considered at all, that annual salary is 39058.28. That would not be sufficient. We are relatively more interested in the change of the salary...

...1. What is the Fisher hypothesis? Is it Valid? Explain The Fisher hypothesis (sometimes called the Fisher effect) is the proposition by Irving Fisher that the real interest rate is independent of monetary measures, specifically the nominal interest rate and the expected inflation rate. The term "nominal interest rate" refers to the actual interest rate giving the amount by which a number of shillings owed by a borrower to a lender grows over time; the term "real interest rate" refers to the amount by which the purchasing power of those shillings grows over time—that is, the real interest rate is the nominal interest rate adjusted for the effect of inflation on the purchasing power of the loan proceeds. The relation between the nominal and real rates is given by the Fisher equation, which is This states that the real interest rate () equals the nominal interest rate () minus the expected inflation rate (). Here all the rates are continuously compounded. For rates based on simple interest, the Fisher equation takes the form where is the simple nominal interest rate and is the simple real interest rate; this equation is well approximated by using the simple rates in the previous equation provided all three percentage rates are relatively small. If the real rate is assumed, as per the Fisher hypothesis, to be constant, the nominal rate must change point-for-point when rises or falls. Thus, the Fisher effect states that there will be a one-for-one adjustment of the nominal...
