Introduction In the novel “The Adventures of Huck Finn”, the writer portrayed the theme of ‘racism and slavery’ in South America during the end of civil war. As he was writing this novel, race matters which had appeared to be an optimistic course during the period subsequent to the civil war, once more became stressed. In this case, he purposely brought to concentration human being’s frequent hidden inadequacies. On the other hand, the main themes in the film ‘Catch me if you can’ are of broken homes, troubles one goes through during childhood and money fraud (Twain 15-350). Main body It can be argued from the film ‘catch me if you can’ that; street smarts sometimes outweighs book smarts as Frank could forge educational degrees, proficient attachment, occupation histories, checks as well as his name despite the fact that he had no relevant schooling. From this it is clear that, he was street smart to forge school and professional testimonials to prove to people that he was a ‘pilot, physician or a collage professor’. This indicates that even though one is not much learned, he can use his inborn smartness to be successful in life (Redding & Abagnale 50-200). On the other hand in the novel, the writer portrays Huck as someone who was very intelligent despite his young age. In this case, Huck makes mature decisions which very few people of thirteen years of age could. For instance he contrasted the ideas of the society and jeopardized himself going to hell for his intimate relationship with Jim. Based on this, Huck’s street smartness is influenced by the society and his relationship with Jim. In this novel, street smarts outweighs book smarts; as we can see Huck was an outcast who never went to school but his reasoning was more than anyone else’s in the book. In general, both Huck in the novel and Frank in the film used their reasoning and not education to be successful in life and to evade being caught. From the two incidents it can be seen that, street smarts outweighs book smarts in both the novel and the film as evident by the acts of Huck and Frank respectively. In the film it is well indicated that, Frank was well skilled in checking forgery to the extent that the FBI police after arresting him could use him to help in the arrest of other forgers (Twain 15-350). From the film it can be seen that, there were instances of childhood troubles and marriage breakages within the family especially when Frank realized that his mother was having extra-marital relationships with his father’s pal. Ultimately, the family was forced to break and Frank disappeared from the home using forged cheques; which he had been given by his father. After a while, the money Frank had; got finished and from there he started forging cheques and educational testimo
Mackie argues that it is impossible for God and evil to exist simultaneously. He supports his argument by critiquing the theist believes that God is wholly good and omnipotent. According to Mackie, if God is truly omnipotent, evil should be nonexistent because God would use his power to eliminate it. Evil is inconsistent with a belief in God because it invalidates the theological argument that God is omnipotent. Either the power has limited or He does not exist. This argument could be used to explain why evil is prevalent in the world. First, Mackie discusses a possible solution that assumes that evil and good are complementary (Mackie 203). The solution does not work because it invalidates God’s goodness and omnipotence. The argument implies that God’s omnipotence is limited, and therefore, He cannot eradicate evil. On the other hand, it implies that God cannot create good without creating evil. The solution creates the impression that good cannot eliminate an evil because they are complementary. Therefore, they have to exist simultaneously. Another possible solution that Mackie discusses is the belief that evil is a necessity for the attainment of good (Miller 205). This solution teaches that God creates evil as a means to attain good. It does not work because it limits His omnipotence. I think Mackie is right because if God is omnipotent, then He should eradicate evil. Omnipotent power surpasses the limits of natural laws and evil. This solution does not work because it implies that God’s power is limited (Miller, 205). It teaches that God created evil as a means to achieve well because of the limitations of His power. This contradicts the theist’s belief that God is omnipotent. There is no reason as to why God should create evil as a means to attain good. I think Mackie is right because the solutions mentioned above are irrational and fallacious. They fail to withstand the criticism of rationality. If valid, they would not contradict the theological belief that God is omnipotent and wholly good. Works Cited Mackie, John. Evil and Omnipotence. Mind 64.254 (1955): 200-212. Print.
Introduction Entering a foreign market is always a challenge for companies due to the lack of understanding of the potential benefits and limitations that would occur as a result of the entry. This analysis aims to explore Chile from the context of its market perspectives and marketing implications for a US company. For the aim of the study, it was chosen to focus on the healthy food industry, which is gaining momentum in Chile as more and more people become interested in purchasing foods that are made from natural ingredients. The scope of the analysis includes the geopolitical analysis of the country, the socio-cultural impact of Chile, as well as the economic and market competitive analysis of the chosen industry. Geopolitical Analysis A geopolitical analysis of a country is intended to consider the geography of a country and the consequences associated with that geography. Important considerations included in the investigation include the exploration and analysis of constraints that are imposed on a country by its national resources, the ease of access to the outside world, as well as the internal systems of transportation. Chile is located along the western edge of South America’s tip, among the Andean Mountains in the east of the country and to the west, the Pacific Ocean. Together with Argentina, Chile shares the third-longest international border in the world, which roughly divides the Andes into two parts. As a result, the Andes created a barrier for t
Introduction Web services are one of the developments that accompanied the increased use of internet. This implies that web developers had to constantly review the approaches used to access web content, and so was the development of the web services technology. This essay provides an overview of Python language and how it is related to the development of web services. This essay provides an insight into Python programming language by highlighting the key concepts associated with the language and on overview of the development of web services using Python. In addition, the essay highlights the survey tools that can facilitate the development of web services in Python programing language. Background Python programming language is one of dynamic and object-oriented programming languages used for the development of diverse kinds of software developed by the Python Software foundation. Its significant advantage is that facilitates integration with other programing languages and software development tools. In addition, it has in-built standard libraries that are extensive. This means that it facilitates the development of a better source code. The programming paradigm of Python language embarks on the readability of the source code enhanced through clear syntax. Apart from object-oriented programming paradigm, Python can implement other programming methodologies such as functional programing and imperative programming (Beazley 67). Another important feature of Python language that makes it suitable as a software development tool is that it has a dynamic type system and its memory management strategy is automatic. In addition, it can support the implementation of scripting applications. It is important to note that the development model of Python language is community based, implying that its reference implementation is free and bases on the open source platform. There are various interpreters for the language for various sys
Encouraging private entrepreneurship in the highly competitive environment of a globalized market is not an easy task; however, by addressing the current economic, political and financial issues efficiently in order to encourage the progress of private entrepreneurship and introduce European and American standards into public and private entrepreneurship, the government of UAE will be able to handle the current problems faced in the private and public sector. In their research Entrepreneurship: An Emirati perspective , Halah El-Sokari, Constance Van Horne, Zeng-Yu Huang, and Mouawiya Al Awad discuss the problems that entrepreneurs face nowadays and provide the methods of dealing with these problems. Although the research does not cover all of the problematic issues, which the Saudi Arabian entrepreneurship is currently suffering from, it still offers a fairly decent account of the significant problems and the strategies that can improve the current state of affairs and reinforce the UAE business sphere. The research features some of the grand accomplishments of the UAE government in defining the current entrepreneurial issues. To start with, it is crucial that the research was conducted based on the results of a statewide survey since it allowed for not only providing the audience with the latest (2006–2011) data but also the information regarding both domestic UAE companies and the companies located in other states. Another strong point of the given report concerns the authors’ skill of noticing the critical tendencies in the UAE business sphere and bringing these tendencies to the readers’ attention. One of the least expected and, quite honestly, the most welcomed ones concerned the introduction of the so-called intrapreneurship into the UAE business sphere. According to the definition provided by the authors of the study, intrapreneurship can be defined as a “type of entrepreneurial activity which is recognized and measured by the GEM survey is employee entrepreneurship” [1, p. 16]. By emphasizing the fact that a number of UAE employees showing the signs of entrepreneurial activity, the authors of the research state that the rates of the private business initiative are growing fast within the UAE setting, which is a perfect sign for the state’s economic improvement. The given conclusion is crucial for the further evolution of the UAE business, since, at present, the state economy depends on SMEs for the most part. Therefore, it is the duty of the state government leaders to do everything possible in order to encourage the development of SMEs. Seeing how the phenomenon of intrapreneurship contributes to the evolution of small businesses in that it encourages employees to start their own small business. Another appa
Cystic Fibrosis is a hereditary disease that is passed from the parents to their children via the genes though it is not necessarily a must that the parents must be suffering from the disease for their kids to inherit it. It is a disease that affects the breathing process in the respiratory mechanism and the breakdown and absorption of food in the digestive system of a human being (Ratjen, 2008). This occurs when the glands produce excessive mucus within the human body. This mucus accumulates in the lungs and other passages responsible for the transport of air, thus limiting the amount of air inhaled. In some other cases, mucus may be deposited in the pancreas and this reduces the rate at which food is broken down and absorbed into the bloodstream. This mucus is generally bluish in color and very thick. Mucus plays an important role in the human body because it covers specific body organs which are prone to infections especially when exposed. Such organs include the lungs and pancreas which are vital organs in the human body. For instance, this mucus is found lining the nose tract which traps dust, smoke particles and the excess moisture in the air as it passes into the lungs. However, so much build-up of mucus causes Cystic fibrosis which is a life- long threatening disease to the human life. Pancreas is responsible for the production of digestive enzymes. When this mucus accumulates more than it is useful, it blocks tubes in the pancreas which transport these enzymes down to the small intestines where digestion takes place. As a result, food passes down undigested, a condition which leads to constipation and thus a swollen belly (Hyde and Gill, 2008). A lot of nutrients are taken out as waste and therefore the body does not benefit from the food. Due to the reduction in the amount of food absorbed in the body, malnutrition and weight loss occurs and as a result, it becomes easy for other diseases to develop in the body of person who is undergoing through these problems. If the parents of the affected kids were well-informed on how to provide a balanced diet for these kids, their bodies would develop immunity which would ease the effect of this disease and also get out of the danger of contracting other diseases. Good health of the body of a person plays a major role in fighting diseases. An infant with ill-health experiences retarded growth both mentally and physically, but a healthy one develops fast and therefore no late maturity. Cystic fibrosis also affects the reproductive system in men where this mucus clogs the sperm tubes and thus, the sperms stop flowing from the testes. This condition makes men infertile and at times, this blockage leads to death of the affected. To women, the condition alters ovulation cycles mostly the alteration of the ovulation cycle is very common to the underweight women. This condition results to infertility of the woman. Cystic fibrosis has in the past claimed many lives mainly in the poor families who lack money to pay for its treatment. It is a disease that goes on getting complex as the infant ages and theref
A routing protocol stipulates the mode in which routers communicate amongst each other. Information is passed on between the routers, defining the routes that the data will be directed between two nodes. Each router has knowledge of the network that is currently attached to it. The protocol ensures that information on the router’s identity is first known to its immediate neighbors and this is again passed to the routers that are connected to them. It is through the routing protocols that the network topology is known and the routers determine which route is the shortest in delivering data between the nodes (Black 202). There are three major categories of routing protocols, namely: Interior gateway routing protocol which passes via link state routing protocol. Examples of protocols that fall under this category are, OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) and IS-IS (Intermediate system to Intermediate System). In this mode, each computer node constructs and creates a virtual map of the network and calculates the best logical route on which to follow in regard to the time it will take. Another category is the Interior gateway routing which passes via path vector. The path is calculated using a pre designed algorithm and in this case it is the Bellman-Ford algorithm. The algorithm dictates that a map be drawn from the information acquired from the router’s neighbor. Examples under this protocol are RIP (Routing Information Protocol) and IGRP (Interior Gateway Routing Protocol). The last category is the Exterior gateway routing where the BGP (Border gateway protocol) is protocol used on the internet (Black 203) The administrative distance is the gauge used by routers in determining the route in which data will be transferred from one router to another in a computer network. The administrative distance dictates the best path in terms of distance and reliability. A static route always has an administrative distance of 1, for IGRP it is 100 and for RIP it is 120 (Black 200). IGRP (Interior gateway routing protocol): This protocol preceded RIP and combines multiple metrics for data transfer along a route. Such metrics include the bandwidth allocated, delay encountered while the data is being transferred, load and the reliability factor of the route. All theses metrics are combined and a formula used. The formula is adjustable using a set of constants. Hop count in this protocol category is 100. It is also important to note that updates in regard to changes that my have taken place are broadcasted to each router on the net
Globalization is a common phenomenon in modern society, which affects all spheres of its functioning. This term means “the connection of different parts of the world” ( Effects of economic globalization , 2019). Such a process is often typical for the economic sphere, within which business interaction becomes international. Altman and Bastian (2021) note that globalization is measured by “more than 3.5 million data points on trade, capital, information, and people flows” (para. 2). Politically, the term globalism is spreading when all processes must be considered from a global perspective (Vanham, 2019). As part of this phenomenon, different aspects of people’s lives also become more closely related. In particular, international economic flows can influence political and social life in different regions. Modern means of communication significantly simplify the interaction of different countries and continents, which enhances the internationalization of all spheres of life. In particular, cultural globalization occurs within the framework of which the products of one country are distributed around the world (Vanham, 2018). This process can lead to negative consequences, such as the elimination of cultural diversity. Another critical issue associated with globalization is climate change and environmental disasters. For example, pollution at one end of the globe can lead to extreme weather conditions on the other (Vanham, 2019). Thus, globalization makes all processes, including economic, political, cultural, social, environmental, and other parts of the global agenda.
What the Case Study is About The Benihana case study highlights the operational processes of a Japanese restaurant operating in America. Based on its operational challenges and the problems encountered by the company in expanding into new locations, the case study also highlights the strengths and weaknesses of the restaurant. In line with this analogy, the article also compares the similarities and differences between Benihana restaurant and other restaurants in the US. To do so, it explains the history and development of the restaurant, and how it has succeeded by using a Japanese restaurant management strategy to guide its operations. Therefore, comprehensively, the case study explains the operational processes of the Benihana restaurant by highlighting its key design features and marketing strategies (Sasser, 1972). Issues Associated with the Case Study Some of the issues associated with the Benihana case study include the operational management efficiencies and brand success strategies of the restaurant. Other issues mentioned in the paper include training, business expansion, organization control, and advertisement strategies of the enterprise (Sasser, 1972). Difference between the Benihana Production Process and that of a Typical Restaurant The production process of Benihana restaurants differs with those of typical restaurants because it uses the hibachi table concept which allows the restaurant staff to prepare food in front of the customers. Rocky (the restaurant owner) introduced this concept in the 1960s after realizing that American customers often wanted to eat in exotic surroundings, but failed to order exotic foods because they did not trust foreign delicacies. Therefore, to mitigate this problem, Rocky introduced the hibachi table concept for his clients to see how they prepare the “exotic” foods. This way, he expected the customers to trust foreign delicacies. The “gamble” paid off because the restaurant achieved tremendous success in this regard. Furthermore, it helped the restaurant managers to reduce their labor costs and maximize the business’s space productivity (Sasser, 1972). Analysis of Production Process (Major Design Choices that Generate Efficiencies) Benihana’s production process mainly centers on cooking through showmanship. This strategy involves the ability to cook food attractively and fast. Other restaurants are unable to adopt this production philosophy, partly because they do not have the skills and refined chefs to do so. For example, a key component of Benihana’s production process is the recruitment of skilled Japanese chefs. The restaurant recruits them from Japan and through a free trade agre
Introduction Risk management involves identifying and assessing the risk factors with intention to minimize their impact in the organization. There are risks that can be controlled and those that cannot. The role of a manager will be to develop a strategic plan for the risks both internal and external risks. Barclays bank is a world leading financial service provider that has its branches in 50 countries worldwide and employs about 147,500 people. The bank deals inn variety of financial products and service ranging from corporate banking to mortgage services. Barclays bank is listed on the London stock exchange as a public company that complies with the UK combined code on corporate governance (Gorrod, 2004). Barclays bank has a clear risk management strategy whose objective include  1. Identifying the bank significant risks  2. Ensure business growth is supported by conclusive risk management structure  3. Establishing strong and independent review on risk management policies  4. Enable management and executive group control and coordinating of risk responsibility in the bank  5. Communicating risk management policies within the bank The bank group risk management policies have remained unchanged since 2009 when it was last reviewed. The responsibility of risk management in Barclays bank group is mandated to all levels of management within the group starting from the top management and executive committee to each unit managers and risk managers. Barclays bank has a risk oversight committee that is responsible for reviewing and formulating the risk strategy in the organization (Barclays Bank, 2010). In management of risk, the bank employs several models and approaches in dealing with uncertainty. This models range in their application. They can be used in decisions concerning credit determination, pricing, and portfolio management, risk assessment regulatory capital calculation. This types of strategy covers credit, market, and operational risk (Hallenbeck, 1986). The bank uses the following models in analyzing risks factors in their operating environment. These models of estimation include probability of default (PD), exposure at default (EAD) and loss given default (LGD).To minimize the risks
