At Fulton, Missouri, Churchill delivered a memorable speech, where he used descriptive phrases that surprised both Britain and the United States. Prior to his speech, Britain and the United States (U.S) were concerned with their unique post-war economies (Boyer 47). He had all along been grateful to the Soviet Union, for playing a pro-active role in bringing World War II to an end. It was his speech that changed the way in which the Communist East was viewed by the Democratic West. Being one of the Grand Alliance’s architects, Churchill recognized that its dissolution was a tragic reality. ...

The mobile Iron app used by your organization to protect access to patient information is however a novel ...

Human nutrition is associated with good health and well-being. Humans derive nutrients from food products such as fruits, vegetables, milk, and animal-based products. Nutrients should be taken in adequate quantities for proper functioning of the body. Diet provides vitamins, minerals, and all other vital components required for healthy living. Diet is one part of a healthy body while physical activity enhances growth, development, and stability to the body. People who have low nutrient intake are vulnerable to diseases and illnesses. Poor nutrition has also been associated with impaired physical and mental development (Kau, et al. 2011). Nutrition is the ...

The voting process helps a nation to grow as one through exercising fairness and legibility in all its interactions. Americans enjoy the freedom of voting as long they are citizens of America and have an identity card. However, it was not a similar case in the early 19th century as the constitution, at the ...

It is one of the ironies of history that the “old west” was actually the last area of the north American continent to be settled. By 1860, for example, San Francisco, California was a booming city of 56,802 persons making it the 15th largest city in the nation (San Francisco Population). Kansas City, meanwhile, had a population of 4,418 (U.S. Census Bureau). Denver, Colorado was already the “Queen City of the Plains” with a population of 4,749 (Population of Denver, CO). These three communities are important since Denver and Kansas City represent the western and eastern ...

Introduction

The cost of manufacturing ammonia using the Haber process plant constitutes the following components: the cost of energy, raw materials, equipment, labor and sparking substances (catalysts). Energy (gas or electricity) costs are incurred to maintain the temperature of the reaction. The Harber process is operated at very high temperatures, and pressures thus higher costs of energy are incurred. Some of the raw materials consumed in the Haber process such as nitrogen and hydrogen are recovered at the end of the process. The recovered materials are recycled back to the system to reduce the cost of raw materials. Starting and ...

The trade and investment relationship between Australia and China demolishes the theory of comparative advantage. According to Adam Smith and Ricardo, it makes sense for a country to focus on the production of goods and services it can do efficiently and purchase goods and services it produces less efficiently from other countries. When this theory is applied to the trade relationship between Australia, a rich country and China, a poor country, we arrive at a paradoxical outcome. The introduction of a free trade regime resulting in Australia-China trading relationship implies that Australian consumers will pay lower prices for imported ...

Introduction

President Obama enacted the Affordable Care Act as a United States Federal statute in 2010. Together with the amendment to the reconciliation bill, it promised to expand health insurance to all citizens at a reasonable cost. PPACA defines the health care as neither the right nor privilege of people but it states that citizens, however, do have a right to “affordable” healthcare, which it tries to achieve through a partnership between the market and the government. The ACA is a result of an evolution of government-funded plans such as Medicare and Medicaid as well as statutes such as HIPAA, ...

China's leading role on the world market is undeniable. Over the years, Chinese reforms transformed this country from a backward agrarian one into a leading industrial power, by industry of which the stability of many countries depends on. Another proof was the fact that since 2010, China has become the second largest economy in the world after the US, ahead of Japan, which had occupied this position for 42 years (Greenaway & Milner, 2010, p. 20). Today, China is the largest consumer, producer and exporter in the world. China encourages the discovery of new commercial and industrial enterprises, the implementation ...

Despite the country’s small size, Japan has depicted quite contrasting economies before and after the Second World War. Up to the moment, the country has had three distinct political and economic periods; the Edo which began in 1603 and went on up to 1868, the Meiji Restoration and the final period which began after the Japan’s defeat in the Second World War in 1945 and runs up to now. Each of the three economic periods was characterized by unique factors which necessitated the government to initiate remedies so as to avoid plunging the country into an economic ...

The human body is wired to function normally by maintaining a certain optimum functional state. Homeostatic mechanisms ensure that the body remains viably stable by maintaining the internal atmosphere within the functional limits. Alteration of the cells functionality brings about an unusual state in the body system. Interruption of homoeostasis causes the body to respond by correcting the state in a bid to restore the normal functionality. Lifestyle decisions such as nutrition and physical exercises directly affect homoeostasis which in most cases leads to a state of disease such as anaemia. Nutrition is a major factor that affects the ...

Introduction: All most all metals are unstable when exposed to air. This is because of the tendency of the metal to be converted into its oxidized form on reaction with air. When compared to zinc, iron has a greater tendency to form oxidized form and thus has greater susceptibility to corrosion. The ability of metals to react with air varies and this determines their relative stability. As zinc is much stable when compared to iron, it is used to galvanizing iron pipe, thus preventing contact of iron with air and water that contains dissolved air. Brass is an alloy ...

Introduction

Superhero is a term that is socially accepted and widely revered in today’s society. We are fed with information about their supreme powers and ability to save humanity from evil. Every popular media form has been used to ensure our society fantasizes about their presence and accept their critically maligned narratives (King 167). Vigilante, it’s a word taken from Spanish and it was first introduced to America in the mid-19th century. A vigilante is someone who operates alone or in a group, “takes the law into their own hands” (Butler 1). These people are not endorsed as ...

Guided by the findings of both the objective and subjective assessment of the 3 year old, the differential diagnosis that could be derived includes; iron deficiency anemia, thalassemia or lead toxicity. Each of these conditions is associated with microcytic hypochromic anemia as a classical feature. Both thalassemia and lead toxicity can be excluded from the scenario on the basis that thalassemia is a genetically inherited condition that runs in a family and no other member lives with the condition. Lead toxicity cannot predominantly feature in this case since from the subjective assessment, there is no likelihood for lead levels ...

The Fate of Greenland's Vikings by Dale Mackenzie Brown.

In 1721, Hans Egede, a Norwegian missionary discovered that the Norse were no longer inhabiting the two settlements that they had established around 1000 A.D. Since then there has been many debates on the cause of their disappearance and decline. For long, the theories about their disappearance centered around the oral traditions of the Inuits. The Inuit tradition held that the demise of the Norse was due to the contact between the Inuit and the Norse which was often aggressive (Seaver 1996, 119). In recent years however, owing to expanding archaeological findings and other limited documentary evidence there have ...

The journey towards the European Union (EU) integration has experienced several turnings. This section of the essay will detail some of the core turning points in the EU integration.

It is an interesting aspect of history and that prior to the 16th century Europe and its various nations were merely a barbaric and insignificant periphery on the world stage. Great Asian powers dominated most of the known world, both militarily and economically. Following Columbus’s voyage in 1492, Europe slowly shifted to become the geographic, economic and military center of the entire world. In no small part due to its superior ships and superior seamanship, Europe was able to use its newfound capabilities to tap into the riches to be gained from both the New World and Asia. ...

The Oxford English Dictionary has myriad definitions for the word ‘cool,’ from the conceptual physical sciences where cool means lower temperature, to its cultural connotation where cool means “restrained and relaxed,” such as jazz, and “fashionably attractive or impressive,” which could be a person, trend, habit, or behaviour. If one means pop culture, then it's harder to define what is cool, because the pop culture is broken up into subcultures, each with their own definition of cool. One cannot look at the current age with the same perspective as you look at previous ones. There are reasons for this. ...

On arriving and settling in the Allegheny City, near Pittsburg, Andrew's father secured a job in a cotton factory, with Andrew playing the role of a bobbin boy in the same organization. One year after arriving in the United States, Andrew got a job with the Pittsburg Telegraph office as a messenger, a job he did very well, so well that he was promoted to the position ...

Before the 20Th century, companies with international trading activities exploited their competitive advantage to increase their market share and profits through a supply chain model that was largely based on owning, managing and directly controlling all the activities and assets in the supply chain (Bowersox et al. 35). In typical supply chain models, raw materials are procured in one location and products produced in one or multiple factories. The finished goods are then shipped to warehouses where they are temporally stored before being sold to supplier and customers. Effective supply chain models are required to reduce costs, improve service ...

Introduction

Belfast is one of the world’s most ancient cities, its location at the mouth of the River Lagan having been continuously occupied since about 2,000 years BCE. There are good reasons for this. Courtesy of the Gulf Stream, the site has a mild climate that seldom gets above 65 degrees F. or below 35 degrees F. Its northern latitude gives it one of the world’s shortest winter, and longest summer, days at the biannual solstices. It rarely snows. The city is ringed by low mountains that create a microclimate to ...

The years between 1945 and 1965 were unique ones in history. In 1945 World War II was ending, changing the landscape of Europe. In Eastern Europe, the Soviet Union was devastated despite winning the war (Zickel n.p.). It began a period of reconstruction, putting itself together after the war. Western Europe was in shambles as well, except it had Germany to contend with. Fortunately the end of the war also brought about an increase in trade among nations, increase in technological advances and foreign aid from the United States, helping all of Europe to come out of its economic ...

Introduction

Civil engineering and its related fields are very diverse and entail both structural design and architectural work. Structural engineering as we can deduct from the term ‘structure’ deals with the physical components of a given design. For example, in the house construction process, the structural engineer considers all the aspects of materials to be used and consults with the architect to ensure the durability of the home. On the other hand, architectural engineering refers to the technology of incorporating the basic functional aspects of a given design to make sure that an ambient environment has been created.
