The article is going to have a look at Well Fargo’s analysis. There are different situations, which lead to the company’s analysis. The company might choose to assess various sections that constitute to the whole company for various purposes. One of the main purposes of conducting an analysis on a company is to determine its position in relation to profitability. A company’s profitability is never stagnant; a company is moving either forward or backwards. A company will never be at the same position in relation to profitability. There are different types of analysis; they differ from one another in regards to purpose and methodology. A research will always have a unique way through which it looks at the details presented in the aim of research. The SWOT system of analysis is one of the most effective methods of analyzing a business organization. The SWOT analysis highlights strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. Through this analysis an organization is evaluated into the fine details. The company’s strengths can be seen in the ranking it has received from world renowned financial analysts. The company is listed as the best small business lender, best agricultural lender, second best debt card issuer, second best prime home-equity lender, third best mutual fund provider among the U.S. Banks. For instance, the company is the 18 th most respected company in the world. This was a ranking established by Barrons. Wells Fargo has been ranked as the 17 th most profitable company all over the United States. The organization has received the “Aaa” credit rating from Moody.

The company’s organization structure is set up in a manner that helps various departments and branches to work as a single body. The Wells Fargo Bank has been established as the first bank in the United States as of 2008 (Fradkin, 2002). The company has two major weaknesses. These weaknesses are presented in bad mortgages and low debit card market share. One of the major areas where other competitors beat this company is in relation to debit cards. Whereas other financial institutions are focused on providing debit cards for their customers, this company has been left behind. For

In 1946 Winston Churchill gave the “Iron Curtain” speech that explained and clarified the affairs in the world at that time, as well as set goals for the future. It also reassured the people that everything that was necessary at the time was being done by the governments and there should be no fear in expecting another war, as the governments of the world will make sure that it will never occur. It was a post-war speech and so it was much needed for the people to realize that the governments are behind the society, they are prepared to do what is necessary and that together there is a great possibility of building a better world with the absence of pain, conflicts and wars. The speech itself was very optimistic but at the same time served as a warning. It was optimistic in several ways. First, it was addressing the alliance between the English speaking countries that would optimize the conditions of all the included countries in the post war period. It was reassuring in a way that if such unity is reached together the union of these countries will be much stronger in supporting themselves but also in withstanding any possible enemy. Second, Winston Churchill spoke of a world organization, which would serve as one unit where there would be allied military forces that would mobilize in case of any threat. This way every country would have an army that would be ready to defend itself and the neighboring English speaking nations. The other key point that was touched upon was the Soviet Union and the condition that it was in at the time. It was said that Russia could be considered a threat to the US and the world as the communist regime is very unpredictable and thus should be controlled on all fronts. The speech was given during the time when the world was rebuilding itself from the world war and was guided by the conditions and issues present at that time. It would be very hard to predict what would happen to all the countries involved in the war in the next decade, as there was very little communication between nations, everyone felt threatened by their neighbor. It was a time before the cold war, which was fought under the surface utilizing any means necessary in the interests of national security. It was very hard to judge how the world would turn out and what consequences the world war would bring. Now the world is a much different place and there is no disagreeing that it was very hard to predict the future in those grim and pessimistic times. One of the important issues that was addressed in the “Iron Curtain” speech was that the world should better its relations and establish firm ground through the United Nations Organization. Mikhail Gorbachev who gave a speech in a response to Winston Churchill’s speech mentioned that the words “Iron Curtain” used in Churchill’s speech, was the first time for those words to appear anywhere. Gorbachev admired Winston Churchill and spoke of him very highly agreeing on most of his ideas. Gorbachev mentioned that it was unfortunat
Introduction Artistic works often attract people’s attention to the most urgent issues and make the public consider the most effective solutions. Artistic texts are often most appealing since they reach people’s hearts and souls and make a profound impression forcing them to discuss important things. Guernica by Pablo Picasso is one of the illustrations of the power of artistic texts that serve as a reminder, facilitator, motivator, or evidence. In his painting, Picasso revealed his attitude towards the war and some forces that could start it ( “Guernica” ). The artist stressed that his artwork was a response to the horrible aftermaths of the bombing of Guernica, as well as the overall concept of war. This paper includes a brief analysis of the iconic painting that can be seen as one of the most remarkable warnings to humanity. Background Spain in the 1930s was a battlefield between the forces of Republicans and Nationalists who had opposing views regarding the future of their country. Republicans believed that Spain needed peaceful and liberal transformations that would lead to progress. However, Nationalists focused on totalitarian methods and the supremacy of some groups, as well as the denial of certain basic rights (Cox 24). Nationalists were supported by another oppressing regime of the first part of the 20 th century, German Nazis. The attack of German aircraft that caused the major destruction of Guernica, a Spanish city, had a substantial impact on Picasso (Cox 23). At that period, the artist was decorating an exhibition in Paris, but changed his initial plan and created the work in response to the fascist attack. Interpretation The artistic text in question is full of symbols and allusions that have been interpreted in many ways. The artist himself explained only some aspects of the painting and encouraged people to decipher his message or find their own meanings (Cox 82). As mentioned above, the painting is all about war and its horrors. One of the primary impressions the artwork creates is the sense of complete chaos since the figures are scattered across the painting (“ Guernica” ). It is possible to interpret this chaotic location and postures of figures as a symbol of the chaos wars create. Any attack is characterized by civilians’ horror and despair. The weeping women who are trapped in a house on fire or the mother holding her dead child represent the major horrors of war. The figure of the horse is a symbolic representation of the forces of Republicans who tried to fight and defend people. The horse is also caught in motion trying to react, but everything seems rather hopeless. Notably, one of the figures that remain calm and observant is the bull. The bull is an embodiment of Fascism and brutality that takes the form of the animal that has a very specific role in the Spanish culture (Cox 82). The bull is the only figure that seems to be in control of the situation and keeps watching carefully with no empathy
Babylon revisited is a story about life after the stock market crash of 1929 during the great depression. Charlie the main character visits Paris and reminisces about the good times they had during the years they were rich. This indicates that a major theme in the story is wealth and poverty. After the stock market crash people had learned to live moderate lives and had become more focused on family. Babylon revisited presents a picture of a city that used to host lavish parties that attracted a lot of people. However, due to the great depression, Fitzgerald depicts a different city that is deserted and which has no lavish parties. “He was not disappointed to find Paris was so empty” (Fitzgerald, 1). The great depression was a monumental part of the history of the United States as it shaped generations of people. The love song of J. Alfred Prufrock is a poem that presents the interior life of the speaker. The speaker presents himself as anxious and indecisive. “In a minute there is time For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse” (Eliot, 47-48). The speaker is seeking love and affection but is unable to fulfill this desire. Desire as a theme is present in the text as the speaker displays how he is indecisive when it comes to taking action to find a romantic connection. The speaker had always desired a romantic connection but throughout the poem, the hopes remain largely empty. He has a problem creating and maintaining relationships which makes him anxious. The author uses unfinished sentences to indicate the inability to put his feelings into words. This is essential as it helps the reader understand the exact situation the speaker is in. Throughout the poem, the speaker enters the world of fantasy to escape what is happening in reality. Works Cited Fitzgerald, F. Scott. Babylon Revisited .

USB is a device that is made by a group of companies for PC use but later on it got considerable response from the computer users because of its efficient features. Not only it is used for computers but also it is used for small or handheld devices which have wide applications. To transfer the data between the devices, a complex set of rules FireWire is used. This paper provides details of USB and FireWire (USB and FireWire Quick Assist 2008) USB and its working USB stands for Universal Serial Bus. It generates an interaction between the devices and the controller host. This device was made by Ajay Bhatt while he was working for the Intel Company. USB is an alternative to many types of serial and parallel ports. USB is now the most commonly used connection device that allows connecting keyboards, external drives and printers, mouse, digital cameras and mobile devices including mobile phones and media players. Although the USB device was specifically designed for the use of personal computers, yet, it also became very common device for other devices too. For instance, it has become common on PDAs (Personal Digital Assistance), smart phones and video game consoles (Coates 2008) In other words it can also be stated that the USB is a way out for all users of personal computer who want an instantaneous, no hassle method to connect hardware devices like scanners, digital speakers, digital cameras, digital joysticks, PC telephones to their computers. Through the use of this device USB, adding new devices has become much uncomplicated. It is simply a plug-and-play device, which the user just needs to plug that in and use it turning on. This way the whole process becomes quite easy which is as similar to adding new capabilities instantly to the computer system. It reduces complexity that the user never needs to open up the whole PC and the user also gets rid of worrying about add-in cards, IQRS or DIP switch settings (Ludy 2005). A very main feature of USB is “hot swapping” which means the user is no longer required to completely shut down the
The accessories chosen to be analyzed are sports shoes which are available in supermarkets and market stalls across the country. The price for these products varies from one company to another but the products that has been chosen for this assignment is the high quality north stars. The north stars produce a variety of products and they are available in various stores. This product is commonly used in London by majority of the citizens. From the questionnaire carried out in the streets of London the general price that is acceptable to most users of the shoes varies between £50 to £150. This price that is being charged by various supermarkets and stores consist of the cost of purchase, cost of labour, depreciation of buildings, general administration expenses and other expenses that are involved in the selling of this product. The price that will be used in this assignment is the average price determined from the questionnaire of this assignment. The average price for high quality North Star shoes has been assumed to be £ 110. The £110 is the price at which most respondent do agree that it is reasonable for high quality shoe to be traded in this market. Assume a supermarket them sells for £110 per year and variable costs are £ 90 per unit. The present year volume of output is 80,000 units, but could be increased to 100,000. The analysis shows that total variable costs increase proportionally with output for unit variable costs are constant. If we assume that selling prices remain unaltered, costs savings themselves will lead to increased profitability. The contribution margin is an important concept in cost-profit analysis. As may be seen from the example above, the contribution margin is calculated by deducting the variable costs from revenue. It is the first stage in calculating the net profit and measures the profit which is available to cover fixed costs. Since fixed costs are incurred irrespective of sales, a firm will make a loss if the contribution margin is insufficient to cover fixed costs. At low levels of output the firm will make a loss
There are thousands of different religions in the world: Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Rastafarianism, Spiritualism, Santeria, Christian Science, the Unification Church, Neo-Paganism, Baha’i etc. Each of them is based on particular concepts and rules. In addition, every religion has a particular purpose, “each people use religion to serve a number of purposes” (Mandelbaum 1174). Moreover, each religion has its functions, “the one complex is geared to the transcendental function of religion” (Mandelbaum 1174). What does it mean “a transcendental religion”? Briefly, it can be describes as a religion based on concept that the god is above everything, he is the most powerful and completely separated from people and the processes of creation. Thus, according to a transcendental religion, the god is transcendental. Indeed, every religion is transcendental to some extent, but some of them are more transcendental and some are less transcendental. As for me, among all religions the most transcendental ones are Christianity and Baha’i. As it is well known, Christianity has 5 main branches: Roman Catholics, Oriental Orthodox, Eastern Orthodox Christians, Anglicans and Protestants. Each of them is divided into sub-groups. It is pretty hard to define the most transcendental religion out of all of these groups. However, to my opinion, the Lutheran religion is the most transcendental. Thus, in this paper, I am going to provide evidences that Lutheran religion is the most transcendental out of all branches of Christianity. Furthermore, I am going to compare it to the Roman Catholic Religion as second the most transcendental religion to my opinion. I think that Christian religion is one of the most transcendental ones due to the attributes that it ascribes to God. Thus, according to Christian beliefs, God is self-existent because He has no cause and does not depend on anything; He is imminent because He is present everywhere in the world, but he is also transcendent, as distinct from the universe. God is immutable because He is perfect and never change, thus He is also eternal, as His transcendentalism and perfectness are infinite. According to Christian beliefs, God is omnipresent and perfect as he transcends all space and spatial limitations. God “is thus infinite with respect to space” (“The Attributes of God” n. p.), and His all being is filling every fraction of the universe and every being living in it. Furthermore, God is omnipotent, as he cannot be self-contradictory and He cannot do anything that is that is opposite to his perfect nature, such as He cannot lie nor do evil. God is omniscient as He knows all things and all events that happened and that will happen in future. God is incorporeal, as He is a spirit and has no body. God is “One”, in other words, He is perfectly unique, simple and very complex at the same time. He presents the unity of Father, Son and Holly Spirit. Although transcendental, God is creator, he is the one that crea
More often unnoticed, forever marginalized, and only of late incorporated in chronological discussions, intellectual scholars have met difficulties in their pursuit of legitimacy in the academic society. It was about 1990 when a war historian (cold war) Lewis stated that, the intelligent revolution is commonly assumed in the bringing about and consequent evolving of the Cold War. But very minute details are known about this matter. Any person interested in this subject is required to base upon very insignificant evidence found in an incomprehensible collection of largely unconfirmed writings, together with recollections from writers, authorities and journalists of that time. This subject really has some aspect of fascination although it does miss the aspect of solid history. After 6 years, notable steps have been made in prevailing over this concern. This is partly because of the CIAs declassification of historical records. For our case book, this is the authors 9 th book which is his 7 th that talks about the issue of intelligence. This current edition that has over 660 pages, offers intelligence scholars and other people with the relevant information on the US’s intelligence. The book makes available this information right from George Washington to Bush. Therefore this paper seeks to show the goal of the book, illustrate whether its goals were achieved and give details on its strengths and weaknesses. From chapter 1 to 4 the author talks about the US’s intelligence development starting from the 19 th century to the end of the Second World War. Even if there is so little current information relayed, Andrew is a capable author with both remarkable storytelling and several fascinating vignettes which prevent the reader from wandering too far. It is at this point that Andrew exemplifies the extraordinary relationship that build up between Washington and London. This included William Stephenson’s effort to push America into WW2 by formulating public relations adversities, evocative of the Zimmerman-Telegram of the First World War. In the chapters that followed (9 chapters), the author turned his concentration to the war (cold war). Contrast to the other monographs, Andrew is not content to simple revision of the fine exploits of the criminal investigative agency. Conversely, he tackles all bases by emphasizing the functions of the frequently ignored NSA and the significance of signals intelligence. He does this by synthesizing available schools of thought and at the same time integrating the current available information. Andrew effectively outlines the developing association between intelligence officials and the Americas presidential office. He finishes off by showing that, “over the past two centuries only four presidents — Washington, Eisenhower, Kennedy (briefly) and then Bush — have shown a real flair for intelligence” (Andrew, 537). Despite the fact that Andrew did his work well in terms of extent of the task to
