The Europeans came to the New World to have religious freedom. England didn’t except the settlers beliefs in religion so they were kicked out. They felt the land was for grabs because they it was in God’s name. They felt like God was on their side. To conclude, the Europeans came to the New World because they had they wanted religious freedom, they felt like the land was for grabs and they felt like religion backed up their expansion. The second generation and the first generations had differences that affected the relationship between the Natives and the settlers. With the first generation of settlers came a struggle which the Native Americans helped them survive and they signed the treaty. By the second generation the settlers no longer needed the Natives help and they knew that, so they no longer needed the treaty and by the time Massasoit dies they settlers defile the treaty. There are some major differences between Edward Winslow and his son Josiah, Edward was a good man who kept his word but Josiah was looking for war with the Natives because he felt like they were savages. And with Massasoit and his son Philip came one difference which was Philip showed off his wealth. To wrap this up, the second generation and the first generations had...

...Introduction I am require to obtain a copy of Annual Report and other Financial Information to prepare a report about a selected company. The company I have chosen to base my report on is Morrison supermarket which is a public limited company. Company History The Company was founded by William Morrison in 1899, initially as an egg and butter merchant in Rawson Market, Bradford, England operating under the name of Wm Morrison Limited. His son, Ken Morrison took over the company in 1952, aged 21. In 1958 it opened a small shop in the city centre, followed by its first supermarket "Victoria", in the Girlington district of Bradford in 1961. In 1967 it became a public limited company listed on the London Stock Exchange. In 2004 Morrisons, which operated mainly in the North of England, acquired Safeway, another leading British supermarket chain which owned 479 stores, mainly in Scotland and the South of England. The acquisition quickly ran into difficulties caused in part by the outgoing management of Safeway changing their accounting systems just six weeks before the transaction was completed. The result was a series of profit warnings being issued by Morrisons, poor financial results and a need to revert to manual systems.

...William Bradford and Olaudah Equiano write about their ideas and terrors to white settlers and new generations on their way to America. In “The Interesting Narrative about the Life of Olaudah Equiano” Olaudah Equiano did not have a choice but to come to America but in “Of Plymouth Plantation” William Bradford leaves America in search of new laws and ways of living. Olaudah Equiano somehow found a way to write down his descriptions about what happened and what he saw. At 11 years old, Equiano was kidnapped from his home.

...Another sort of scanner tag could be basically incorporated with a pill or other item, as opposed to simply slapped on the bundling. A group of specialists revealed the new innovation this week at the British Science Festival in Bradford, UK. Scientists from the University of Bradford and Sofmat, a hostile to extortion innovation organization, added to a framework to add infinitesimal spaces to the surface of an item. Little sticks are set to diverse statures, every encoding a letter or digit. The pins can either be inserted in the mold an item is produced using or stamped on a short time later. The subsequent code is verging on imperceptible, and excessively modest, making it impossible to feel. Be that as it may, a speedy laser sweep could demonstrate an item’s inception, which the specialists say could track and check items to battle fakes. The yearly worldwide estimation of fake merchandise has been anticipated to be more than $1.5 trillion by the International Chamber of Commerce. Fake hardware are an issue, and fake prescription can be absolute risky, containing the wrong dosage or no dynamic fixing by any means. This is particularly an issue in the creating scene.

...Author William Bradford was a man who played several roles in colonial America: Pilgrim, governor, and historian. A native of Yorkshire, England, Bradford joined the Separatist movement while a teenager. After enduring religious persecution, he and other Pilgrims (a name Bradford gave his Separatist group) eventually immigrated to America on the Mayflower in 1620. As a leader of Plymouth Colony, Bradford served off and on as governor for thirty years. Bradford is best known for his two-book series Of Plymouth Plantation, written 1630-1650, documenting the early years of Plymouth Colony. Several poems and dialogues aimed at teaching younger generations characterized his later writing. Bradford’s writings are significant in American Literature...

...Tebow Time It has only been seven weeks since the start of Tebow Time, which is the time since Tim Tebow took over as full time starter for the Denver Broncos. In those eight weeks of Tebow Time, he has led the previously 1-4 Denver Broncos from the cellar of the AFC West to the top of the conference with an 8-5 record. Nothing about Tebow’s time in the NFL has been expected and most can hardly explain what it is he is doing and has done to turn the Denver Broncos season around. There is only one thing that one can conclude from Tebow’s short playing career in the NFL, and that is that he is a winner. It is all he has ever done, through college and even now in the pros. Tim Tebow is not suppose to be where he is at now. He was drafted too high, and he was never supposed to lead an NFL team to a winning record in only his second season. The experts said that he couldn’t even be an NFL quarterback. They said he was the third best quarterback on Denver’s roster at the beginning of the season. Tim Tebow doesn’t care what the experts say, and is proving them wrong every week he starts under center for the Denver Broncos. A sub-par quarterback winning games is not the only reason Tebow has been getting all of the hype. Tebow is a devout Christian and takes every opportunity to share his Christian values. Some are offended by this, and others think that it just adds to the legend in the making that is Timothy Richard Tebow. Tebow is not a loser, he just doesn’t do it. In college...

The two key highlights from the 1H11 results are the better than expected international LFLs in 2Q and the increased confidence in the US. Management provided more detail than usual at the presentation, which we believe denotes confidence. International LFL: 4.1% in 2Q after 0% in 1Q. We believe LFL is the key driver of CROI and not scale via openings. With better LFLs, the ‘maturing effect’ looks more credible to us. In the four most mature countries, the CROI of the mature assets (>4 years) is 220bp higher than the CROI of all assets. US to break even in 2012E/13E: the improvement in LFLs and other underlying metrics show that the key components of a profitable model are coming together. The worsening of overall losses in 1H from US$132mn to US$143mn is explained by the adverse leverage from new space and the acquisition of two supplier factories (US$10-15mn loss). This is a highly operationally geared business and improving LFLs is therefore key. UK: we agree with management that LFLs (Tesco’s and the industry’s)...
