Plot Summary Careless Lovers is a play that was authored by Edward Ravenscroft. The play was acted and published in sixteen seventy-three. The play is a classic model capturing through irony the pervasive habits in the society. Characters used in the play such as the wealthy citizen, the prostitute, the fop, and the tricky servant clearly display a mockery completing the play as a comedy of restoration. The stylistic devices used in the plot create laughter through disguise. The young lovers in the third act led by Dorimant appear witty as much as their cross dressing is ridiculous. What influenced the author to write this play was the urge to denounce the allegations on a character that he had grossly mentioned in his earlier work. The events of the scene In the play the idea of assignation by Dryden is exposed as an opportunity to escape from danger but in a comically charitable way. The get-together meeting had been a venture by Dryden. Ravenscroft further presents the Careless lovers as people whose level of intelligence cannot be matched by other characters in the play. At the center of the Act is Dorimant. His behavior can be summed up as ambivalent. He fails to capture the role set out for him throughout his appearance (Eggleston 02). He is designed to serve as an indicator against ambivalent behavior, a role he performs dismally. Dorimant’s glamour and success exude much confidence in him. Other players such as Robert Hume have squarely made such observations. Examining his personality perspectives would be acceptable as he fascinates and disappoints in equal measure. This makes it very difficult for o
The ongoing attention that is accorded to the war that took place in 1948 did not originate from the distinctive facets as a campaign that was based on the military might of the concerned nations. In fact, the more pronounced historical effects of the war are what roused inquisitiveness of the public, as well as interest from academics. There are several effects of the war such as the emergence of Israel, and its unrelenting existence as a leader in fronting civilization from the west in the region. The war that started in 1948 is still ongoing although there have been spirited campaigns to end the war. There are several consequences that emerged, such as the refugee problem, which has seen Palestinians become refugees in their own land. The end of the Second World War saw most countries in the region attain some level of independence from colonial mandatory rule. Britain played a significant role in influencing most of the treaties that were signed in the region among the countries. The war had started in 1947 and ended on 14 May 1948. The cause of the ceasefire is attributed to the approval by the Jewish People’s Council of the proclamation that affirmed the forming of a state on the Jewish side in Eretz. This state was to be known as Israel. How did the Zionists try to garner political support in the aftermath of World War 2 and the Holocaust in their dealings with the Superpowers, United Nations, and UNSCOP? Zionists tried to garner support in the political aspects of their cause through various actions such as pushing through a delay on the treaty for partitioning of their land. They used the period that was allotted due to the delay due to the lack of support for the recommendation to put pressure on a large number of nations. They campaigned for these nations to vote for the recommendation at the UN General Assembly. They used their position as the victim in the holocaust to influence several nations to consent to the recommendations. The Zionists used any means necessary, and any method that they had to in order to get their way (Shlomo 267). They addressed certain delegations from different regions informing them that they would manipulate the donors so that the much-needed aid that they received would be blocked from reaching them. The evolution of the Haganah, including its role in the great Arab revolt and world war two The Haganah may be referred to as the Hebrew defense organization. The organization dates back to the 1920s when activists formed some sort of defense commissions in the regions of Jerusalem and Tel-Aviv. The fall of Ti Hai saw the rise of the Jerusalem commission. In the course of the Passover riots (Nebi Samuel), the Haganah played a crucial role in defending the region. This was against the Arab invaders. The Achdut Ha’avoda party, in a convention, formally recognized Haganah. This party consisted of a couple of groups namely the Federation of Agricultu
When Google applied for the ‘Nexus One’ trademark back in December 10 th 2009, the they were shocked to learn that the United States Patent and Trademark Office had earlier given the ‘Nexus’ trademark to a Portland-based company, Integra in 2008, and thus it was denial use of the name. The trademark office wrote in its notice of refusal “Registration of the applied-for mark is refused because of a likelihood of confusion with the mark in U.S. Registration No. 3554195”. The USPTO argued that similarity of words, products, services or trade channels would likely confuse the consumers. Google’s Nexus One sales figures show that within the first 74 days in the market it has hit a rock bottom, notching up only 135,000 units, compared to 1million iPhones sold by Apple within the first 75 days, and over 1million for Motorola’s Droid in the same period. It had to revised its projected sales units from 3.5 m to 1 m for the period. Although Google blames its trademark’s woes for the marketing limbo, but it is arguable that the Nexus One mobile is rarely available in stores. While all Vodafone shops began selling the Apple iPhone to consumers, only Google’s store site was stocking the Nexus One. Google wanted to control the trade channels of the smart phone so as to avoid competition from other Android mobiles and distributes it exclusively in particular regions, although the retailers and wholesalers wanted to part of the trade channel. Integra’s Nexus is meant to offer its consumers voice, internet services and long-distance calls using one connection. Although the phone is rarely known, the telecom company right to it allows it to offer “high-speed access to a global computer network”. Integra’s Nexus is a less superior model as compared to the Google’s Nexus which has complex noise reduction system and advanced speech to text, allow users to issue voice commands, use voice technology for text messaging and also so keyword search on the internet. Google is entitled to challenge this verdict within the trademark registration procedure in the next six month. Google said: “We continue to claim rights to the Nexus One trademark in the United States, and plan to respond to the Patent Trademark Office’s action.” But if Google does not contest the USPTO ruling, then it may be forced to buy the trademark, or opt for another name of the phone. Both choices seem challenging but at the end of the day the company will have to go for either. In the United States mobile phone naming is a big issue, with big phone makers in U.S. Similar Google’s woes have happened to Apple in 2007 when if filed for a trademark for the iPhone and found out that Cisco had already got the trademark for a product known as iPhone. More currently, Apple unveiled the iPadnetbook only to discover that other iPad names were already registered by other firm’s like Fujitsu and ST Microelectronics. Goog

. Jean Racine is one of the greatest play writers of a classical French tragedy who lived and worked in times of French Enlightenment. He based his plays on the classical Greek and Roman myths. Thus, a majority of his characters have typical character features of the classical époque. One of the masterpieces created by Racine is Phaedra which was partly adapted from the Euripides’ Hippolytys . The tragedy has all features of the literature style of Enlightenment. The core idea of it is the problem of choice based on reason, but influenced by emotions. Thus, the author of the tragedy depicts an ancient story with context and themes of the Enlightenment period. The focus of the tragedy is on Phaedra as an example of Enlightenment values. The author’s intention is to ensure that emotions are dangerous and may influence the choice. At the same time, the core idea of the play is to promote the choice which should be based on reason. Only such choice can guarantee happiness. Another theme of the tragedy is to show that human emotions are signs of weakness and can cause terrible consequences. In this essay, we are going to debate some of these statements and define the cause of the tragedy. Phaedra, Thésée’s wife falls in love and feels a forbidden passion for her stepson Hippolytus. This kind of love was forbidden in the society which lived according to the principle “one should do everything for the social benefit and sacrifice his/her own interests and feelings”. In other words, it was a society based on reason. Thus, Phaedra’s feelings were not only forbidden, but sinful and disgraceful. Consequently, they led to a number of tragic events. Phaedra understood what consequences of her passion could be and she blamed Venus who “cursed” the woman with this love: “Venus I felt in all my fever’d frame, Whose fury had so many of my race Pursued. With fervent vows I sought to shun Her torments, built and deck’d for her a shrine.” (Racine 19) Thus, reading the tragedy, we understand that according to the author, love, passion and emotions are dangerous and one should not follow them when taking a decision. The main concern of Phaedra and people around is that woman should forget her feelings as they are selfish and can cause undesirable consequences. Oenone says: “[feeding] a flame which best were beaten out” (Racine 81). Even Phaedra feels guilty and ashamed for her love, “my frenzied love’s burst forth in act and word. I’ve spoken what should never have been heard” (Racine 81). The climax of the story is the moment when Phaedra confesses in her love to Hippolytus: “Does Theseus’ widow dare to love his son? The frightful monster! Let her not escape you! Here is my heart. This is the place to strike.” (Racine 39) In his own turn, a young man is also terrified by this confession as he understands the wrongness and danger of those feelings. Consequently, we ca
Life can be a tremendously overwhelming process depending on an individual’s direct surroundings. Challenges expert licensed require an inspiration factor particularly when an individual is away from home and relatives for some time. Keeping contact with friends and kin is valuable in life to keep updated on what is occurring within the social order. There are several things in life we practically cannot live without which have proven to be of considerable help. The cell phone has always been my most central companion and can be immensely categorized as the most noteworthy object in my existence. This device has enabled me to keep up with friends and family and meet with new people who have contributed to my development and maturity in the current world characterized by inventions and socialization. The portability attribute gives this device its splendor. The electronic machine is commonly found in all areas in the world hence easing the process of communication. It has brought a variety of innovative things for the user and to a substantial extent affected the way people relate in the globe. I have used it for both private and specialized purposes in my occupation as a nurse. The cell phone is a vital way of communicating with superiors and colleagues while on the ground thus forestalling critical situations. The phone enables the access of technologies like the camera and the related modifications. These have been helpful in several situations in my life. An example is a situation while at work when I had to deal with a tragedy involving a snake bite. It was a life-threatening situation which involved identifying the snake to take the appropriate first-aid procedures. Through my know-how, I could make out the snake, but it had a particularly different shade of color which I could not relate to. In nursing, there is room for risk-taking, so I had to be particularly certain on practical action to save the life of the combatant. Luckily I remembered just in time that my phone had an inbuilt camera. I quickly photographed the snake and uploaded the image to a snake specialist who readily identified the species and advised us on how to deal with the situation. Apart from the camera, there are several other features which increase the importance of this gadget. The latest phone offers superb quality music which is necessary for leisure purposes. As a nurse, I was exposed to many situations while assisting navy personnel who are frequently faced with crises. Their controlling character personality constantly made the work look harder than it was; hence once in a while, I would listen to tunes from my phone to relax. In today’s busy society, having a portable device to communicate through is expedient. Whether it is sending messages through the Internet or getting updated on the latest news, my cell phone has ensured that I am aware of the latest happenings. Having reachable
Communication should be given vital consideration when it comes to delivering a speech in a meeting. One should be able to contain the audience throughout the session. The characteristics of the audience are important and therefore whoever is address it should first put this into consideration before proceeding. The speaker has to make use of various effective ways of message delivery in the speech. Putting all these things into consideration will facilitate the delivery of a good and appropriate speech that will keep the whole audience active despite its professional differences (May, 2005). In any meeting, whether in a company or any other gathering, communication is mandatory. Any speaker should therefore to cautiously handle communication so that the message is received efficiently. Communication is a major contributing factor to the achievement of any given company; hence, all means should be used to ensure that it is done in the most appropriate way. This can be done in many ways using various channels that will make the message delivery more simple and easy for both the speaker and the audience. During any meeting in which one is expected to deliver a speech the audience is the most important group. The audience is the group that the speaker is conveying the information to. The speaker should therefore put it into consideration because this is the group that will determine if the meeting and the communication was successful or not. An audience can be proven to be either interesting or dull and boring. This fully depends on the first impression that the audience will perceive of the speaker and the form of communication that the speaker uses. The audience’s characteristics are many and they include the categories of the people that the speaker is to address during the delivery of the particular speech. Managers, sales people, and customers could be present in the audience. These are people with different interests in the company, and it is important to consider all of them in the delivery of the speech. In cases where the speech is generalized, a section of the audience may feel sidelined (Redding, 2007). The need or the background information is another characteristic of the audience. Most of the audience normally requires getting to understand the background information of the company during the meeting. Some audiences also prefer the use of definitions during the delivery of the speech. The audiences do this to completely eliminate the possibility of some of them being lost along the way due to improper definition of terms they do not understand. Various audiences also have various needs; for instance, the managers may be interested in issues that pertain to the progress of the company and further strategies being laid. On the other hand, sales people may need an increment of the commissions they are given during sales and generally an improvement in the retur
Introduction Microeconomics is considered to be the study of scarce resources (Perloff, 2007, p. 117), and it is also referred to as “the study of how individuals and firms make themselves as well off as possible in a world of scarcity and the consequences of those individual decisions on the markets and the entire economy” (Microeconomics, 2009). This means that according to the principles of microeconomics people and companies should consider resource allocation as the basic part of the decision making process. What products/services are produced, how they are produced, and who gets those products are three main trade-offs that microeconomics has for individuals and organizations to consider. Main Body The first of the three above mentioned trade-offs is the process of identifying what products/services are to be produced among the whole variety of products/services that a company might deal with (Cohen, 2001, p. 182). The example of the proper handling of the first microeconomics trade-off is the Atlanta, GA based transportation company World Courier Ground that focuses on the same day delivery services within Atlanta and the major part of Georgia. Specializing also in transportation dispatching and consulting, packing and warehousing, the World Courier Ground prefers same day transportation as focus on this service allows the company to save resources and satisfy the permanent demand for such services in the market within Atlanta (World Courier Ground, 2009). As for the second microeconomics trade-off, it regulates the ways in which the product/service production can be made as cost- and effort-effective as possible (Perloff, 2007, p. 131). This point can also be exemplified by the activity of the World Courier Ground that resorts to the cost effective service provision in respect to same day delivery services. In more detail, the World Courier Ground resorts to the immediate shipment pick up procedure during which the compan
