...addressed us in English. I held in my hand our confusing travel directions. We asked the man if Zagreb was straight ahead. He shrugged, and told us, “There is only one road in Yugoslavia.” It was not long after our wedding. When I finished my initial year at Oxford, I flew home to marry Kirby, who had been my girlfriend in college. We had met on a blind date. When my college roommate asked his fiancée to fix me up, she asked, “How tall is he?” Kirby was pretty, intelligent, classy, and six foot one. I was only an inch taller, and found her height exotic. We had a good time together, sophomore and senior, and dated again … and again … and again. One thing led to another. That year I spent in England, we missed each other. We wrote letters back and forth, and by mail arranged to get married. From London I flew to New York, 17 hours on a Lockheed Constellation with its triple tail. Our reunion was happy and frantic with preparation. After the September ceremony we had no time for a honeymoon, but took immediate passage to Southampton on the Queen Elizabeth. As a wedding present, my grandfather Hall had ordered us an English automobile, a tiny green Morris Minor that we were to pick up in London, and after Oxford ship back to the United States. From the dealer’s, we headed out into heavy traffic. Driving on the left-hand...

Application of this technology would make powerful pocket PCs an affordable reality for the public. As part of M-Core’s initial capitalization, Silatel donated a research facility in New Oxford, a small New England town. The facility sits on a picturesque four-acre plot near a lake, surrounded to the North and East by legally protected wetlands. Silatel believed the area’s beauty would attract and inspire top research talent, which could help ensure the venture’s success. M-Core management, however, believes that success hinges on the development of a 90-acre research and development campus that includes office, laboratory and research space. Plans also call for artistic landscaping, walkways and green areas, an open-air design that M-Core management believes will relax and inspire campus workers. To the West and South of the New Oxford facility are older homes, most built prior to World War II, some as early as the 1800s. The residents of New Oxford are proud of their homes and take great pride in maintaining these impressive, historic properties, many of which boast beautiful gardens. In fact, each year the town sponsors a garden contest with a $500 top prize. To move development along with minimal delay, M-Core has made generous offers to these residents whose homes sit on the 86 acres surrounding...

...Hedonism and the desire-satisfaction theory Name Institution Introduction Hedonism and the desire-satisfaction theory of welfare are typically seen as archrivals in the contest over identifying what makes one’s life better. It is surprising, then, that the most plausible form of hedonism is desire satisfactionism. The hedonism theory focuses on pleasure/happiness while the desire-satisfaction theory elucidates the relevance of fulfilling our desires. Pleasure, in some points of view is the subjective satisfaction of desire. I will explain the similarities and the differences between the desire-satisfaction theory of value and hedonism. I will also discuss the most successful theory and defend my argument by explaining how the theory avoids the objections raised against it. Similarities between the desire-satisfaction theory of value and hedonism Both the desire satisfaction theory and the hedonism theory suggest that our subjective states are the major determinants of the measure of a good life. The subjective states in this case include happiness or pleasure and our desires. Our pleasures are determined by the desire satisfaction theory while happiness is achieved through the hedonism theory. Both theories are dependent on positive values which are the sole intrinsic causes of good life. Differences between the desire-satisfaction theory of value and hedonism The hedonism theory is a deeply important theory of the good. According to hedonism theory, happiness or pleasure is...

...April 2, 2015 Louis Lancombe, LLB Lancombe, Pereigni, and Associates 1675 Croydon Avenue Winnipeg, MB R3N OS8 Dear Mr. Lancombe: During its existence, your company has established itself as a company providing services of the highest quality for its’ clients. It is a known fact that success of the company mainly depends on the expertise and qualification of employees. After working for a few years as a legal assistant, I would like to grow along with your company and to contribute to the company reputation increase. The most effective way to achieve it is to extend my college education in Justice Diploma Program. So, you can get one more professional in your team. As this program is offered also on a part-time basis, my study will not have negative impact on my performance as a legal assistant. According to information provided by the college, the tuition fees are 1,000 CAD per semester and the cost of books is 500 CAD per semester, so the total expenses for my education for four semesters will be 6,000 CAD. At this moment, the cost of my education is not affordable for me. However, I found out, that some companies offer reimbursement for fees and books when employees approved courses with a grade “C” or higher. As I have mentioned above, I am interested to continue to work in your company. That is why I decided to address you to set up a reimbursement program to help me to extend my education. Hope, you will...

...Biography of Bill Wilson Co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous Alcohol has been abused and been problematic in the history of the world. Before Alcoholics Anonymous it was believed that alcoholism and addiction was a mental illness and failure of willpower (Cheever 253). There was never any real hope for alcoholics till Bill Wilson discovered that one alcoholic simply talking to another alcoholic could help them both stay sober. This soon became a self help program that now has over a hundred thousand groups and over two million members worldwide. Bill Wilson’s program became what we know today as Alcoholics Anonymous or simply A.A.. Bill Wilson wrote the book, Alcoholics Anonymous: The Story of How Many Thousands of Men and Women Have Recovered From Alcoholism, and co-founded the 12 step program with Dr. Bob Smith. In 1999 Time Magazine listed him as “Bill W.: The Healer” in the Time 100: The Most Important People of the Century (Time Magazine 153). Bill Griffith Wilson was born November 26th, 1895 in East Dorset Vermont, to Gilman and Emily Wilson. He was born the night before Thanksgiving behind the bar at his parents home and business Mount Aeolus Inn and Tavern. He had a sister, Dorothy Wilson who was four years younger than him. In the spring of 1906 his mother took both children on a picnic to Emerald Lake in Vermont to tell them that their father was not coming home from a business trip and that they were going to get divorced. After the divorce Emily Wilson left her...

SIGNED: Bolun Chen (A typed name is fine) DATE: 12/05/2013 Comparative Critical Review: “Monopoly” By most accounts, a majority of so-called private and public utilities including software, transportation, natural resources such as petrol and financial institutions among some small-scale patent firms have been granted governmental franchise monopolies in recent years. Holding such a dominant position in a market, this legal right, Monopoly - as distinguished from sellers in a competitive market - arbitrarily decides the price of their commodity unlikely being a price taker as it dose as a seller in such a competitive industry. Alternatively, these monopolists are inclined to determine the quantity of goods and services sold at a profit-maximized price, leaving it to consumers to consider how many products are needed to purchase. Due to these monopolistic phenomena around the world, many arguments about the merits and harms to society have been...

...elementary schools, high schools and universities in which they get provided the best teachers and the best education as possible. This tendency leaves nothing for the people in the lower classes. The film The Riot Club from 2014 describes these differences very well. It is about Alistair Ryle and Miles Brown, two students at the Oxford University, which both come from rich families. They get invited to join the Riot Club, which is a closed society for the 10 best students at the university. Throughout the film we follow their development in the Riot Club and also touch upon their different point of view on lower social classes. This assignment contains analysis of setting, characterization of main person and themes in the movie The Riot Club. When we are talking about the setting in The Riot Club, we may conclude that we are dealing with the upper class and the richer part of the British society. The film takes place at Oxford University, where we are following two new students. We know Oxford University as one of the finest universities in Great Britain and maybe even one of the most promoted universities on the entire planet. Essentially, it is given that Oxford University provides the best educations and teachers. This also means it is one of the most attractive places to study. Therefore we may conclude that only the students with a wealthy background are able to achieve access to an education at this University. Furthermore, it is interesting to mention the fact that some of the...
