Nearly one sixth of all the human beings on Earth live in India, the world's most populous democracy. Officially titled the Republic of India, it's 1,269,413 sq. mi. lie in South Asia, occupying most of the Indian subcontinent, bordered by Pakistan (W); China, Nepal, and Bhutan (N); and Myanmar (E) and Bangladesh forms an enclave in the NE. Its borders encompass a vast variety of peoples, practicing most of the world's major religions, speaking scores of different languages, divided into thousands of socially exclusive castes, and combining the physical traits of several major racial groups (Compton's). The modern nation of India (also known by its ancient Hindi name, Bharat) is smaller than the Indian Empire formerly ruled by Britain. Burma (now Myanmar), a mainly Buddhist country lying to the east, was administratively detached from India in 1937. Ten years later, when Britain granted independence to the peoples of the Indian subcontinent, two regions with Muslim majorities--a lar ge one in the northwest (West Pakistan) and a smaller one in the northeast (East Pakistan)--were partitioned from the predominantly Hindu areas and became the separate nation of Pakistan. East Pakistan broke away from Pakistan in 1971 to form the independent nation of Bangladesh. Also bordering India on its long northern frontier are the People's Republic of China and the relatively small kingdoms of Nepal and Bhutan. The island republic of Sri Lanka lies just off India's southern tip (New World Encyclopedia).Much of India's area of almost 1.3 million square miles (3.3 million square kilometers--including the Pakistani-held part of Jammu and Kashmir) is a peninsula jutting into the Indian Ocean between the Arabian Sea on the west and the Bay of Bengal on the east. There are three distinct physiographic regions. In the north the high peaks of the Himalayas lie partly in India but mostly just beyond its borders in Nepal, Bhutan, and Tibet. South of the mountains, the low-lying Indo-Ga ngetic Plain, shared with Pakistan and Bangladesh, extends more than 1,500 miles (2,400 kilometers) from the Arabian Sea to the Bay of Bengal (Compton's). Finally, the peninsular tableland, largely the Deccan, together with its adjacent coastal plains, makes up more than half of the nation's area. In general, India's climate is governed by the monsoon, or seasonal, rain-bearing wind. Most of the country has three seasons: hot, wet, and cool. During the hot season, which usually lasts from early March to mid-June, very high temperatures are accompanied by intermittent winds and occasional dust storms (Concise).

Storm Born Chapter Two

Wil Delaney was in his early twenties, with straw-yellow hair in need of a haircut. He had pasty white skin and wore wire-rimmed glasses. When I showed up at his house the next morning, he had to undo about twenty locks before he could open the door, and even then, he would only peek out with the security chain in place. â€Å"Yes?† he asked suspiciously. I put on my business face. â€Å"I'm Odile. Lara set up our appointment?† He studied me. â€Å"You're younger than I thought you'd be.† A moment later, he closed the door and undid the chain. The door opened again, and he ushered me inside. I glanced around as I entered, taking in stacks and stacks of books and newspapers – and a definite lack of light. â€Å"Kind of dark in here.† â€Å"Can't open the blinds,† he explained. â€Å"You never know who'll be watching.† â€Å"Oh. Well. What about the lights?† He shook his head. â€Å"You'd be amazed how much radiation lights and other electrical devices emit. It's what's making cancer run rampant in our society.† â€Å"Oh.† We sat at his kitchen table, and he explained to me why he thought his sister had been abducted by the gentry. I had a hard time concealing my skepticism. It wasn't like this kind of thing was unheard of, but I was starting to pick up on Lara's â€Å"schizo† vibe. It was highly possible that the gentry could simply have been a figment of his imagination. â€Å"This is her.† He brought me a five-by-seven picture showing him and a pretty girl leaning into each other against a grassy backdrop. â€Å"Taken just before the abduction.† â€Å"She's cute. And young. Does she†¦did she†¦live with you?† He nodded. â€Å"Our parents died about five years ago. I got custody of her. Not much different than how it used to be.† â€Å"What do you mean?† Bitterness crossed that neurotic face, an odd juxtaposition. â€Å"Our dad was always off on some business trip, and our mom kept sleeping around on him. So it's always just sort of been Jasmine and me.† â€Å"And what makes you think she was taken by gen – fairies?† â€Å"The timing,† he explained. â€Å"It happened on Halloween. Samhain Eve. That's one of the biggest nights for abductions and hauntings, you know. Data supports it. The walls between the worlds open.† He sounded like he was reciting from a textbook. Or the Internet. Sometimes I thought Internet access was like putting guns in the hands of toddlers. I tried not to roll my eyes as he rambled. I didn't really need a layman explaining remedial information to me. â€Å"Yeah, I know all that. But a lot of scary people – humans – roam around on Halloween too. And lots of other times. I don't suppose you reported it to the police?† â€Å"I did. They weren't able to turn up anything, not that I really needed them. I knew what had happened because of the location. The place she disappeared. That was what made me know fairies did it.† â€Å"Where?† â€Å"This one park. She was at a party with some kids from school. They had a bonfire in the woods, and they saw her wander off. The police traced her tracks to this clearing, and then they just stopped. And you know what was there?† He gave me a dramatic look, evidently ready to impress me. I didn't give him the satisfaction of asking the obvious question, so he answered it for me. â€Å"A fairy ring. A perfect circle of flowers growing in the grass.† â€Å"It happens. Flowers do that.† He shot up from the table, incredulity all over his face. â€Å"You don't believe me!† I worked hard to keep my face as blank as a new canvas. You could have painted a picture on it. â€Å"It's not that I don't believe what you're describing, but there are a lot more mundane explanations. A girl alone in the woods could have been abducted by any number of things – or people.† â€Å"They said you were the best,† he told me, like it was some kind of argument. â€Å"They said you kick paranormal ass all the time. You're the real deal.† â€Å"What I can or can't do isn't relevant. I need to make sure we're on the right track. You're asking me to cross physically into the Otherworld. I almost never do that. It's dangerous.† Wil sat back down, face desperate. â€Å"Look, I'll do anything at all. I can't let her stay there with those – with those things. Name your price. I can pay anything you want.† I glanced around curiously, taking in the books on UFOs and Bigfoot. â€Å"Uh†¦what exactly do you do for a living?† â€Å"I run a blog.† I waited for more, but apparently that was it. Somehow I suspected that generated less money than even Tim made. Hmphf. Bloggers. I didn't get why everyone and their brother thought the world wanted to read their thoughts on†¦well, nothing. If I wanted to be subjected to meaningless blather, I'd watch reality television. He was still looking at me pleadingly, with big blue puppy dog eyes. I nearly groaned. When had I grown so soft? Didn't I want people to think of me as some cold and calculating shamanic mercenary? I'd vanquished a keres yesterday. Why was this sob story getting to me? It was actually because of the keres, I realized. That stupid sexual suggestion had been so revolting to me that I just couldn't erase the image of little Jasmine Delaney being some gentry's plaything. Because that's what she would be, though I'd never tell Wil that. The gentry liked human women. A lot. â€Å"Can you take me to the park she disappeared from?† I asked at last. â€Å"I'll get a better sense if fairies really were involved.† Of course, it actually turned out that I took him because I quickly decided I wasn't going to let him drive me anywhere. Having him as a passenger taxed me enough. He spent the first half of the ride slathering some really thick sunscreen all over him. I guess you had to take precautions when you lived in a cave and finally emerged into the light. â€Å"Skin cancer's on the rise,† he explained. â€Å"Especially with the depletion of the ozone layer. Tanning salons are killing people. No one should go outside without some kind of protection – especially here.† That I actually agreed with. â€Å"Yeah. I wear sunscreen too.† He eyed my light tan askance. â€Å"Are you sure?† â€Å"Well, hey, it's Arizona. Hard not to get some sun. I mean, sometimes I walk to the mailbox without sunscreen, but most of the time I try to put it on.† â€Å"‘Try,'† he scoffed. â€Å"Does it protect against UVB rays?† â€Å"Um, I don't know. I mean, I guess. I never burn. It smells pretty good too.† â€Å"Not good enough. Most sunscreens will protect from UVA rays only. But even if you don't burn, the UVB rays will still get through. Those are the real killers. Without adequate protection, you can probably expect an early death from melanoma or some other form of skin cancer.† â€Å"Oh.† I hoped we got to the park soon. When we'd almost reached it, a traffic light stopped us under an overpass. I didn't think anything of it, but Wil shifted nervously. â€Å"I always hate being stopped under these. You never know what could happen in an earthquake.† I again schooled myself to neutrality. â€Å"Well†¦it's been awhile since our last earthquake around here.† Yeah. Like, never. â€Å"You just never know,† he warned ominously. Our arrival couldn't have come a moment too soon. The park was green and woodsy, someone's idiotic attempt to defy the laws of southern Arizona's climate. It probably cost the city a fortune in water. He led me along the trail that went to Jasmine's abduction spot. As we approached it, I saw something that suddenly made me put more credence in his story. The trail intersected another one at a perfect cross. A crossroads, often a gate to the Otherworld. No circle of flowers grew here now, but as I approached that junction, I could feel a slight thinness between this world and the other one. â€Å"Who knew?† I murmured, mentally testing the walls. It wasn't a very strong spot, truthfully. I doubted much could pass here from either world right now. But on a sabbat like Samhain†¦well, this place could very well be an open doorway. I'd have to let Roland know so we could check it when the next sabbat rolled around. â€Å"Well?† Wil asked. â€Å"This is a hot spot,† I admitted, trying to figure out how to proceed. It appeared I was zero for two in gauging the credibility of these last two clients, but when 90 percent of my queries were false leads, I tended to keep a healthy dose of skepticism on hand. â€Å"Will you help me then?† â€Å"Like I said, this really isn't my thing. And even if we decide she was taken to the Otherworld, I have no idea where to look for her. It's as big as ours.† â€Å"She's being held by a king named Aeson.† I spun around from where I'd been staring at the crossroads. â€Å"How the hell do you know that?† â€Å"A sprite told me.† â€Å"A sprite.† â€Å"Yeah. He used to work for this guy Aeson. He ran away and wanted revenge. So he sold the information to me.† â€Å"Sold it?† â€Å"He needed money to put down a deposit on an apartment in Scottsdale.† It sounded ludicrous, but it wasn't the first time I'd heard of Otherworldly creatures trying to set up shop in the human world. Or of crazy people who wanted to live in Scottsdale. â€Å"When did this happen?† â€Å"Oh, a few days ago.† He made it sound like a visit from the UPS guy. â€Å"So. You were seriously approached by a sprite and only now thought to mention it?† Wil shrugged. Some of the sunscreen he'd missed rubbing in showed on his chin. It kind of reminded me of kindergarten paste. â€Å"Well, I'd already known she was taken by fairies. This just sort of confirmed it. He was actually the one who mentioned you. Said you killed one of his cousins. Then I found some locals that backed up the story.† I studied Wil. If he hadn't seemed so hapless, I almost wouldn't have believed any of this. But it smacked too much of truth for him to be making it up. â€Å"What did he call me?† â€Å"Huh?† â€Å"When he told you about me. What name did he give you?† â€Å"Well†¦your name. Odile. But there was something else too†¦Eunice?† â€Å"Eugenie?† â€Å"Yeah, that was it.† I paced irritably around the clearing. The second of two Otherworldly denizens to know my name in as many days. That was not good. Not good at all. And now one of them was trying to get Wil to lure me into the Otherworld. Or was it truly a lure? Sprites weren't really known for being criminal masterminds. If I'd killed his cousin, I suppose he might hope some other motivated creature would take me down. â€Å"So what? Are you going to help me now?† â€Å"I don't know. I've got to think on it, check up on some stuff.† â€Å"But – but I've shown you and told you everything! Don't you see how real this is? You have to help me! She's only fifteen, for God's sake.† â€Å"Wil,† I said calmly, â€Å"I believe you. But it's not that simple.† I meant it. It wasn't so simple, no matter how much I wanted it to be. I hated Otherworldly inference more than I hated anything else. Taking a teenage girl was the ultimate violation. I wanted to make the guilty party pay for this. I wanted to make them suffer. But I couldn't cross over with guns blazing. Getting myself killed would do none of us any good. I needed more information before I could proceed. â€Å"You have to – â€Å" â€Å"No,† I snapped, and this time my voice wasn't so neutral. â€Å"I do not have to do anything, do you understand? I make my own choices and take my own jobs. Now, I'm very sorry about your sister, but I'm not jumping into this just yet. As Lara told you, I don't generally do jobs that take me into the Otherworld. If I take this one, it'll be after careful deliberation and question-asking. And if I don't take it, then I don't take it. End of story. Got it?† He swallowed and nodded, cowed by the fierce tone in my voice. It was not unlike the one I used on spirits, but I felt only a little bit bad about scaring Wil with it. He had to prepare himself for the highly likely possibility that I would not do this for him, no matter how much we both wanted it. On the way home, I swung by my mom's place, wanting to talk to Roland. Sunset threw reddish-orange light onto their house, and the scent of her flower garden filled the air. It was the familiar smell of safety and childhood. When I walked into the kitchen, I didn't see her anywhere, which was probably just as well. She tended to get upset when Roland and I talked shop. He sat at the table working on a model airplane. I'd laughed when he picked up this hobby after retiring from shamanism, but it had recently occurred to me it wasn't so different from working puzzles. God only knew what stuff I'd find to keep me busy when I retired. I had the uneasy feeling I'd make a good candidate for cross-stitching. His face broke into a smile when he saw me, making laugh lines appear around the eyes of the weathered face I loved. His hair was a bright silver-white, and he'd managed to keep most of it. I was five-eight, and he was only a little taller than me. But despite that height, he was solidly built and hadn't lost muscle with age. He might be pushing sixty, but I had a feeling he could still do some serious damage. Roland took one look at my face and gestured me to a chair. â€Å"You're not here to ask about Idaho.† I hadn't really understood their recent vacation choice, but whatever. Giving him a quick kiss, I held my arms around him for a moment. I didn't love many people in this world – or any other – but him I would have died for. â€Å"No. I'm not. But how was it anyway?† â€Å"Fine. It's not important. What's wrong?† I smiled. That was Roland. Always ready for business. If my mom would have let him, I suspected he'd still be out there fighting, right by my side. â€Å"Just got a job offer. A weird one.† I proceeded to tell him all about Wil and Jasmine, about the evidence I'd found for her abduction. I also added in Wil's bit of information about this Aeson guy. â€Å"I've heard of him,† said Roland. â€Å"What do you know?† â€Å"Not a lot. Never met him, never fought him. But he's strong, I know that much.† â€Å"This gets better and better.† He eyed me carefully. â€Å"Are you thinking about doing it?† I eyed him back. â€Å"Maybe.† â€Å"That's a bad idea, Eugenie. A very bad idea.† There was a dark tone in his voice that surprised me. I'd never known him to back down from any danger, especially one where an innocent was involved. â€Å"She's just a kid, Roland.† â€Å"I know, and we both know that the gentry get away with taking women every year. Most don't ever get recovered. The danger's too high. That's the way it is.† I felt my ire rising. Funny how someone telling you not to do something can talk you into it. â€Å"Well, here's one we can get back. We know where she is.† He rubbed his eyes a little, flashing the tattoos that marked his arms. My tattoos depicted goddesses; his were of whirls, crosses, and fish. He had his own set of gods to appeal to – or in this case, God. We all invoked the divine differently. â€Å"This isn't a drop-in and drop-out thing,† he warned. â€Å"It'll take you right into the heart of their society. You've never been that deep. You don't know what it's like.† â€Å"And you do?† I asked sarcastically. When he didn't answer, I felt my eyes widen. â€Å"When?† He waved a hand of dismissal. â€Å"That doesn't matter. What matters is that if you go over in body, you'll get yourself killed or captured. I won't let you do that.† â€Å"You won't let me? Come on. You can't send me to my room anymore. Besides, I've gone over lots of times before.† â€Å"In spirit. Your total time over in body's probably been less than ten minutes.† He shook his head in a wise, condescending way. That irked me. â€Å"The young never realize how foolish something is.† â€Å"And the old never realize when they need to step aside and let the younger and stronger do their jobs.† The words came out before I could stop them, and I immediately felt mean. Roland merely regarded me with a level look. â€Å"You think you're stronger than me now?† I didn't even hesitate. â€Å"We both know I am.† â€Å"Yes,† he agreed. â€Å"But that doesn't give you the right to go get yourself killed over a girl you don't even know.† I stared at him in surprise. We weren't exactly fighting, but this attitude was weird for him. He'd married my mom when I was three and adopted me shortly thereafter. The father-daughter bond burned in both of us, obliterating any longing I might have had for the birth father I'd never known. My mom almost never spoke about him. They'd had some sort of whirlwind romance, I knew, but in the end, he didn't want to stick it out – not for her, not for me. Roland would have done anything for me, kept me away from any harm that he could – except when it came to my job. When he'd realized I could walk worlds and cast out spirits, he'd started training me, and my mother hated him for it. They were the most loving couple I'd ever met, but that choice had nearly broken them apart. They'd stayed together in the end, but she'd never been happy about what I did. Roland, however, saw it as a duty. Destiny, even. I wasn't like one of those silly people in the movies who could â€Å"see dead people† and go crazy from it. I easily could have ignored my abilities. But as far as Roland was concerned, that was a sin. To neglect one's calling was a waste, especially when it meant others would suffer. So he tried to treat me as objectively as he would any other apprentice, fighting his personal feelings. Yet, for some reason now, he wanted to hold me back. Weird. I'd come here for strategy and ended up on the defensive. I changed the subject abruptly, telling him about how the keres had known my name. He cut me a look, not wanting to drop the Jasmine topic. My mom's car pulled in just then, giving me a temporary victory. With a sigh and a look of warning, he told me not to worry about the name. It happened sometimes. His had eventually gotten out too, and little had come of it. My mom came into the kitchen, and shamanic business disappeared. Her face – so like mine, down to the shape and high cheekbones – put on a smile as warm as Roland's. Only hers was tinged with something a little different. She always carried a perpetual concern for me. Sometimes I thought it simply had to do with what I did for a living. Yet, she'd had that worry ever since I was little, like I might disappear on her at any moment. Maybe it was just a mom thing. She placed a paper bag on the counter and began putting away groceries. I knew she knew what I was doing there, but she chose to ignore it. â€Å"You going to stay for dinner?† she asked. â€Å"I think you've lost weight.† â€Å"She has not,† said Roland. â€Å"She's too skinny,† complained my mom. â€Å"Not that I'd mind a little of that.† I smiled. My mom looked amazing. â€Å"You need to eat more,† she continued. â€Å"I eat, like, three candy bars a day. I'm not depriving myself of calories.† I walked over and poked her in the arm. â€Å"Watch it, you're being all momlike. Smart, professional moms aren't supposed to be that way.† She cut me a look. â€Å"I'm a therapist. I have to be twice as momlike.† In the end, I stayed for dinner. Tim was a great cook, but nothing could ever really replace my mom's food. While we ate, we talked about their vacation in Idaho. Neither Jasmine nor the keres ever came up. When I finally got back home, I found Tim getting ready to go out with a gaggle of giggling girls. He was in full pseudo-Indian regalia, complete with a beaded head wrap and buckskin vest. â€Å"Greetings, Sister Eugenie,† he said, holding up a palm like he was in some sort of Old West movie. â€Å"Join us. We're going to a concert over in Davidson Park, so that we may commune with the Great Spirit's gift of springtime whilst letting the sacred beat of the music course through our souls.† â€Å"No thanks,† I said, brushing past him and going straight to my room. A moment later, he followed sans girls. â€Å"Oh, come on, Eug. It's gonna be a blast. We've got a cooler of beer and everything.† â€Å"Sorry, Tim. I don't really feel like being a squaw tonight.† â€Å"That's a derogatory term.† â€Å"I know it is. Very much so. But your bleach-blond posse out there doesn't deserve much better.† I eyed him askance. â€Å"Don't even think about bringing any of them back here tonight.† â€Å"Yeah, yeah, I know the rules.† He flounced into my wicker chair. â€Å"So what are you going to do instead? Shop on the Internet? Work puzzles?† I'd actually been thinking of doing both those things, but I wasn't about to tell him that. â€Å"Hey, I've got stuff to do.† â€Å"Fuck, Eugenie. You're becoming a hermit. I almost miss Dean. He was an asshole, but at least he got you out of the house.† I made a face. Dean was my last boyfriend; we'd broken up six months ago. The split had been kind of unexpected for both of us. I hadn't expected to find him screwing his real estate agent, and he hadn't expected to get caught. I knew now I was better off without him, but some niggling part always wondered what about me had made him lose interest. Not exciting enough? Pretty enough? Good enough in bed? â€Å"Some things are worse than staying home alone,† I muttered. â€Å"Dean is one of them.† â€Å"Timothy?† one of the girls called from the living room. â€Å"Are you coming?† â€Å"One moment, gentle flower,† he hollered back. To me he said, â€Å"You sure you wanna hole up here all night? It isn't really healthy to be away from people so much.† â€Å"I'm fine. Go enjoy your flowers.† He shrugged and left. Once by myself, I fixed a sandwich and shopped on the Internet, exactly as he'd predicted. It was followed by a puzzle depicting an M. C. Escher drawing. A bit harder than the kitten. Halfway through, I found myself staring at the puzzle pieces without seeing them. Roland's quiet, fierce words played over in my head. Let Jasmine Delaney go. Everything he'd told me had been true. Dropping this was the smart thing to do. The safe thing to do. I knew I should listen to him†¦yet some part of me kept thinking of the young, smiling face Wil had shown me. Angrily, I shoved some of the puzzle pieces aside. This job wasn't supposed to be about gray moral decisions. It was black and white. Find the bad guys. Kill or banish. Go home at the end of the day. I stood up, suddenly no longer wanting to be alone. I didn't want to be left with my own thoughts. I wanted to be out with people. Clarification: I didn't want to talk to people, I just wanted to be around them. Lost in the crowd. I needed to see my own kind – warm, living and breathing humans, not undead spirits or magic-infused gentry. I wanted to remember which side of the fence I was on. More important, I wanted to forget Jasmine Delaney. At least for tonight I threw on some jeans and the first bra and shirt I could find. My rings and bracelets always stayed on me, but I added a moonstone necklace that hung low in the shirt's V-neck. I brushed my long hair into a high ponytail, missing a few strands. A dab of lipstick, and I was ready to go. Ready to lose myself. Ready to forget.

The Evolution of the Computer to the Cloud Essay - 1722 Words

Introduction First, when computers or PCs were introduced, they literally took the space of the whole room. They were heavy and bulky but still had many limitations in terms of what can those PC actually do or perform daily human tasks. As PCs have evolved, the new software’s have also evolved. A software that satisfies the needs of sending secure data over the Internet is called cloud computing. With PCs, cloud computing has evolved to another level making it easier and simpler to use and provide others with secure information. One problem that is faced by cloud computing organization is the doubt of it keeping files secured. Security reasons are the main concern for cloud computing since everything is over the Internet. On the other†¦show more content†¦Cloud computing is offering liability for the government such as data assurances, infrastructure security, functionality, disaster recovery, and comply with the laws. There are more than million issues that cloud com puting can solve. The reason why cloud computing would matter to the reader is because it doesn’t just solve governmental problems but it is beyond those governmental problems Background The Federal, State or Local government always had difficulty finding a solution on how to secure the data. A guy named David Ferriero, the head of NARA, which is a Nation Archives and Records Administration, is having issue securing the records of the government. Records are being stored in garages, attics and were stolen and destroyed. Government was at moderate risk or high risk of essentially loosing records. The same assessment identified electronic records from basics data to employees email (Berg, 2011).

Custody When parents become divorced there are many decisions that they must come to an agreement upon. How will are possessions be divided? and What will happen to the children? are often the most asked questions when divorce occurs. Custody is almost always the largest battle when husband and wife become divorced. Custody includes all duties a parent owes a child including, food, shelter, protection discipline, education, and even a childs religious beliefs (Martin 32). Often, a judge must make custody decisions for the parents. There are several types of custody, but the most common are sole custody, joint legal custody, and joint physical custody. In sole custody, a single parent provides shelter and makes all important decisions for the child. In joint legal custody, the child lives with a single parent but decisions are agreed upon by both. Finally, in joint physical custody the child lives with each parent for equal periods of time and important decisions may be made by either one, or both parents (Furstenberg 32). Sole custody children often live with the custodial parent for two-week periods and live with the non-custodial parent for two-day time periods (Wolchik 164).

Chartism Working Class and National Political Movement Free Essays

TMA 02 Task 1 In the history block, you learned about three explanations for Chartism’s support – a reaction to economic pressure, national political movement and an inclusive cultural community. What evidence is there in the extract above of three explanations for Chartism’s support that you learned about in the history chapter of Y180, and which, if any, is stressed most strongly by the speaker? Part 1 In no more than 200 words, write a plan for this essay Introduction: 1. Explain the background and context of the extract 2. We will write a custom essay sample on Chartism: Working Class and National Political Movement or any similar topic only for you Order Now This essay will consider the evidence for Chartism’s support in terms of economic pressure, popular radicalism, and cultural inclusiveness 3. It will argue all three factors contributed to Chartism’s support but political focus is dominant Economic pressure: 1. 1837-42 were periods of economic downturn, Chartism attracted support by addressing economic circumstances – mention class legislations 2. Manufacturing population under-represented in the electoral system 3. Mention Asa Briggs, secondary source 1, who highlights the significance of economic circumstances A national political movement: 1. Indicate how Chartism was built on pre-existing support for electoral reform 2. State the popular proposed class legislation changes 3. Use primary source 6 to show the heritage of popular radicalism and the public’s want for reform 4. Mention the use and importance of political language 5. Back up this view with Stedman Jones, secondary source 2 Cultural incisiveness: 1. Chartism welcomed those that were excluded from power in every other way – the working class 2. Mention Ellen Yeo, secondary source 3 to support this 3. Ideal of power to the people Conclusion: 1. Evidence for all 3 factors 2. Final reflection – political movement is most stressed 200 words Part 2 Write the essay, using no more than 800 words. In this essay I shall consider how all three explanations contributed to Chartism’s support and which factor can be seen as the most dominant. The speech made by an unknown speaker in 1839 is a primary source of information from the Northern Star newspaper, the ‘main voice in print’ (P. 107) of Chartism, and therefore we cannot be sure of its reliability. The motive exists to exaggerate the audiences’ size and enthusiasm, numbers of ‘between 5,000 and 12,000’ (Background) and comments such as ‘loud cheering’ (L. 2) could have been fabricated. The report was published in Chartism’s early years, a time of economic recession and social tension when the Whig party held power. The extract highlights the audiences’ economic circumstances making some references to inclusivity, however I believe politi cal focus is the key theme. To begin with I shall consider economic pressure. Paragraph four of the extract focuses on this factor, the speaker makes several remarks which relate to and evidences the audience’s poverty such as ‘ragged clothing’, ‘insufficiency of food’, and ‘insufferable despair’. Chartism attracted support by instilling hopefulness that if democracy was put into practice, people’s economic anguish would lessen, namely that the Poor Law of 1834 would be discarded and taxes reduced. Chartism became an established movement due to a structural transfer in the economy from agriculture to manufacturing; the working classes in these industrial areas were under-represented. Manufacturing industries were prevalent in York and the surrounding areas therefore these economic factors would be close to the audience’s hearts. Briggs, secondary source 1, supports this view by arguing manufacturing communities displayed the strongest support whilst rural areas showed considerably less. The explanation of Chartism being a national political movement is strongly evidenced in the extract. The speaker expresses many political ideas, talking of an end to the established church, as well as addressing class legislations such as opposition to the Poor Law. The speaker states, ‘abolish the army, dash the navy’ (L. 48) ‘crush the church by law established, obliterate the debt from the national ledger, restore republicanism, establish equality’ (L. 50–L. 51). These are long established ideals of popular radicalism which evidences the movement’s political diversity and shows Chartism was able to draw on pre-existing radical support for democratic reform. An account from the Morning Chronicle, primary source 6, shows a flag used during the procession which carried the National Petition to Parliament sporting the phrase ‘we require justice before charity’ (p125). This proposes demonstrators would not be happy with an ‘economic hand-out’ (p126) instead wanting acknowledgment of their political rights; this paper was pro-Whigs so has reason to downplay anti-government protests so may be reliable. Chartist’s had their own political language and this is strong evidence for Chartism being a political movement, the extract uses such language to encourage listeners support, for example, ‘these evils chiefly of a political and social cast arise from one source – class legislation’ (L. 20-L. 21). Steadman Jones, secondary source 2, supports this notion by stating ‘the growth and decline of Chartism was a function of its capacity to persuade its constituency to interpret distress or discontent within the terms of its political language’ (p. 37). Evidence for Chartism been an inclusive cultural community also exists in the extract. The movement did not adhere to the times’ hierarchical style of society as it allowed anybody to join, the speaker demonstrates the movement’s inclusiveness by addressing women who were often excluded from politics, ‘I am glad to meet the brave men and fair women of York’ (L. 10). Chartism was all-embracing of the working classes; six working men were deliberated included on the committee that discussed the People’s Charter. The speaker addresses this group several times with ‘Working men’ (L. ), ‘Honourable gentlemen, I mean by this name the working class only’ (L. 17), and ‘the labouring class, are regarded as a cipher in importance’ (L. 22-L. 23). Ellen Yeo, secondary source 3, states the working classes were quite capable of creating their own politics just as they were proficient manufacturers in the economy. Chartismâ₠¬â„¢s ideal of giving power to the people already occurred within the movement as it gave people a political voice, the National Petition’s allowed people whose opinion was rarely consulted by Parliament to put down their signature with a feeling of power and pride. Evidence for all three explanations for Chartism’s support exists in the extract. However I personally conclude that the main focus and draw of support was the movement’s political goals as the speech uses political language to acquire agitators and fight for electoral reform. Many political issues are also addressed not just male suffrage, evidence for economic and cultural factors are present too. I believe that economic slumps increased support as protestors could voice their resentment of suffering, and inclusiveness helped to provide this voice, yet it was the political focus that gave hope for change. 00 words Task 2 Write no more than 150 words for this task. Part 1 Briefly write down two or three pieces of feedback from your tutor on TMA 01. My tutor’s feedback on TMA01 included encouraging remarks regarding the structure and format of my work; I also received good comments on my referencing skills. However it was felt that I only just achieved the learni ng outcome of producing a relevant, reasoned answer. How have you used that feedback in preparing for TMA 02? Positive feedback showed that my work has a good structure with a clear introduction, main body and conclusion; I have therefore ensured that I did the same for TMA02. I also made sure to reference and use quotation marks around the phrases I included from the materials. In order to avoid unclear sentences in the essay I have studied material on both the Y180 and the BBC, ‘Skillswise’ website. This helped improve my sentence construction, grammar and punctuation, and ultimately the flow of my writing. Feedback proved helpful as it meant I made a conscious effort to keep my sentences short so they remain crisp in meaning. How to cite Chartism: Working Class and National Political Movement, Papers

Venture Projects Economics and Finance - Myassignmenthelp.Com

Question: Discuss about the Venture Projects Economics and Finance. Answer: Introduction With the development of innovation and science there has been construction of various projects throughout the world keeping in mind the main objective of to enhance the operational and financial structure of the world. It has been viewed that there are different projects that have been built with a specific end goal to fabricate new structures and innovative products that would improve the way of life of the people residing globally (Marglin, 2014). This paper hence has been established so as to embrace a critical assessment of a sustainable venture that is performing in the country of Australia so that a lucid idea regarding the project background and the aims and goals of the project can be conceived. The evaluation of the economic assessment and techniques and equipments would even be explained and the cost benefit analysis in relation to the project can even be understood with regards to the goal in order to obtain a clear idea. The project is about the incident of creating a busi9ness in Australia and hence the team members are said to construct the cost benefit as well as the economic analysis. The project has been constructed by assessing the literature review where the economic as well as the cost benefit analysis has been portrayed. This paper has considered Smart Watch project in Australia that has been functioning from the year 2012 and has still been going on in order to gain precise knowledge about the costs and the economic tools used for the establishment of the same. Project Background This venture has been undertaken by computing numerous researches within the market of Australia and thereafter establishing the review of literature. With the development of science and technology there has been introduction of various new products that are becoming useful in our daily life as well (Nas, 2016). The concept of Smart Watch has been in the mind of the developers for a very long time as they had a desire of providing a variety of features within a watch which would lower the burden of carrying various articles for a human being. The project in relation to the development of Smart Watch has been initially undertaken by the private sector organizations that are functioning in the country and they have the idea of developing new and improved features within the watch that would look into our personal as well as fitness life. It has been observed that Australia has a market that is a vibrant and a free democracy and has been rising ever since. The economy of the country had a set back during the initial period of the establishment of the project but as the years have passed there has been a rapid development and this has motivated the investors as well as the stakeholders to undertake further investments in such innovative projects (Mishan, 2015). The idea of the project has been sustainable addition of new and improved features that would be useful to mankind and therefore this project has still been going on with various researches taking place each and every day in order to bring out the best possible product for the same. The delivery of such product in the market would mean enhancement of the lifestyle of mankind and in that manner development of the economy as a whole (Griffin, 2016). This project is a private sector venture and Technocrat is the organization who is liable for the design and, maintenance, financing and operational activities that are common for the deliverance of the project. This project would enhance the value for money property and would lead to rise in quality products in the Australian market. Project Objectives and Justification The development of the project has been to improve the lifestyle of the consumers of the country and enhancing the confidence and the satisfaction level of the communal societies with the help of a variety of other features that reduce the level of reoffending. The venture has shown a significant level of investment in the manufacturing and the services of the Smart Watch with the assistance of Technocrat, which would lead to deliverance of innovative and improve products. The project is fundamental in giving economic benefits and raising the level of employment within the country as there are scope of employment of around 800 employees during the initial stages of the development of the product and later on an additional of 100 employees would be essential for the sales, promotion and marketing of the product in the economy of Australia. The objective of the venture has hence been discussed below: Provide added capacity in the technological industry Provide added features to the consumers of the country Provide supplementary capability in order to lower the level of reoffending Motivate in procedures and practices that are innovative in nature and efficient operations that would raise the value for money The justification for the undertaking of the project has been to improve the lifestyle of the consumers and to make a healthy and a happy environment for the existence of the society. Assumptions, Constraints and Expected Outcomes The construction of the project has been possible by looking at the assumptions and the financial capability. The assumptions of the venture has been gaining knowledge about the financial scenario of the organization undertaking the venture and the number of members who are functioning in the development of the product that would be helpful in delivering the project within the stipulated time period. There are several challenges and risks associated with the venture as well like the challenges with respect to the planning of the venture, gaining various permits and approvals for the initiation of the project etc (Keohane, Olmstead 2016). The other risks involve the risks related to the design and the financial and the activity based risks that can be very harmful for completing the Smart Watch project. The anticipated outcome would be that the expansion in the market of smart watches would act as drivers for the organizations to establish smart watches more for selling them in the Australian market. It has been anticipated that this business would even be reaching the breakeven point within certain years after its initiation of their operations and would then look to create profits for them. Literature Review The review of literature would contain the different information with respect to the equipments and devices that have been utilized by the venture on request to decide their operational exercises and to construct the economic assessment and the cost benefit assessment of the Smart Watch project. This area of the paper would give a broad research and assessment of the present worth, cash flows, internal rate of return alongside the profitability index and techniques of business development and their appropriate procedures with the goal that the venture can be finished up accurately. The utilization of the MADM and MCDM financial assessment process would be powerful to understand the procedure that would be utilized as a part of request to comprehend the present financial and the economic scenario of Smart Watches in Australia. The venture clarifies about the review of the literature and the clarification with respect to the economic investigation and the cost benefit examination of the Smart Watch Project. A small outline of the model of risk evaluation of Smart Watch project in Australia will be talked about in this area. The procedure of economic investigation are characterized as the scientific and measurements and designs. The economic analysis depends on the different strategies for the sensitivity of the economy and keeping in mind the end goal to make efficient identification of the comparative information and therefore it is fundamental to explore at least two procedures. Overview of Project Economical Analysis Techniques and Tools Australia is viewed as a vivacious free democracy of the market and there has been a dynamic economical advance that has been conceivable because of nonattendance of any kind of recessions. The successful procedure of the legislative system of Australia has been helpful for the economy and a free well-working lawful framework, bureaucracy has been the key factor for efficient entrepreneurial upgrade. Australia is considered as an alluring and dynamic country for investment. In the greater part of the situations, the legislature has diminished the level of investments and has motivated the private segment to attempt investments in various innovative projects (Posner, 2014). This has been seen in the Smart Watch Project where ventures are embraced essentially by the private sector. Australia has been successfully aggressive in the technological aspects of manufacturing of products and services. The rate of income tax is 45% and the rate of corporate tax has been 30%. One of the hopeful parameters of venture start ups in Australia has been rate of start up being higher as they have the likelihood leading to the development. The new business projects in Australia like the varieties in sources of funding and ventures like the Smart Watch Project tries to influence utilization of the equity finance amid the primary phases of the developments. The nation has been encountering issues and shocks in the amid the previous couple of years yet in the first quarter of 2017, the economy has recouped from this circumstance and this has seen a rise in the business confidence and the investors as well as the consumers in this manner would positively affect the investments in the business and expenditure of the investors (Morgenstern, 2014). The Australian economy is thought to be inside a strong base notwithstanding the different shortcomings in the ventures that are in nature non-mining. As for Smart Watch project in Australia it has been watched that the under taking has been encountering development and as this is an on-going procedure and this has prompted to rise in investments. The Australian economy has remained firm and has been developing despite the ascent in the cost of petrol and this has prompted the fall in the disposable income for the customers. The economy of the nation has been rising with the ascent in the interest rate which is being utilized for decreasing the inflation rate. The development of the economy has been conceivable as the government has been reducing the taxation rate (Blau et al., 2013). This would energize the financial investors of the business ventures to expand their interests in the Smart Watch project. This has prompted the development of the smart watch more successfully. The investigation of the Smart Watch has been conceivable with the help of economic analysis like the development of the factors that are accessible in the venture and the personalities, capacities and the equations that have been f ound in the venture report of Smart Watch Project. The economic analysis of the venture has been conceivable by taking a look at the costs and the aggregate funding that has been embraced for the conclusion of the venture. The table beneath would show an overview of the valuation of the project: Particulars Amount Residual Value Non-Current Assets: Trademark 400000 0 Patent 700000 0 Property,Plant Equipment 14000000 4200000 Furniture Fittings 900000 135000 Motor Vehicle 1400000 560000 Computer Equipment 1400000 0 Preliminary Expenses: Business Registration 90000 License Fees 140000 Deposit for Electricity 90000 90000 Deposit for Telephone Internet 40000 40000 Recruitment Cost 20000 Share Issuance Cost 25000 Bond Issuance Cost 10000 Other Miscellaneous Expenses 65000 Working Capital: Purchase of Raw Material 18000000 Wages Salaries 13500000 Manufacturing Overhead 8250000 Selling Marketing Expenses 547750 General Administrative Expenses 304750 40602500 TOTAL START UP COST 59882500 Capital Funding: Equity Capital 26947125 5 yrs.

The utilization of the decision framework is subject to the management and the management undertakes effective use according to their requirements in the expansion of the Smart Watch project. There are different models that include the Multi-Attribute Decision Making Model, Multi-Criteria Decision making Model, Analytical Hierarchy Process and so forth (Dixon et al., 2013). These frameworks can be utilized as a part of an efficient way for Smart Watch Project and effective decisions concerning the operational exercises can be developed, which would mean the conclusion of the venture before the due date appointed. MCDM in Financial Decision Making for Projects The MCDM procedure makes utilization of tools and mechanisms that assists in the nature of the financial method for the process of economic making of decisions and to the nature of the resulting decisions (Coates IV 2014). MCDM considers issues associated with the financial decisions as a multiple criteria as problems related to the financial decisions happen because of the mistakes in various figures of accounting, which could affect the financial statement of the Smart Work Project. These issues for the most part emerge because of the compelling task of the insufficient capital and the substitute usage of the assets. Thus, it is fundamental for the management of the Smart Watch project to look in to the designated assets in an efficient way by taking help of this model as this would be effective to use the resources needed for the undertaking in the areas were these resources require more importance so the venture can be finished inside the stipulated time and the every last part o f the venture gets equivalent significance according to the requirement. MADM The Multi Attribute Decision Making framework is a critical piece for the innovative decision for science. It expects that there is different arrangement of substitutes for the different traits, which the management who are making decisions requires to assess and analyse. The objective of this model has been to find the requested substitute for helping the procedure of decision making. The issues that have been related with the MADM has been corrected by taking assistance of the conventional procedures like the analytical hierarchy process, simple additive weighing method and TOPSIS method (Campbell, Brown 2015). The MADM procedure investigates the distinctive features associated with the venture as opposed to the cost. In this situation, it has been watched that Smart Watch Project has looked in to the traits of providing innovative products to the consumers of Australia so that they can improve their standard of living and have a better life for themselves. It is even observed tha t caring for the essential requirements of the consumers by providing all the beneficial services within a watch is an effective process for the expansion of the project as well increase in the revenue of the project and the organization as well. Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) The Analytical Hierarchy Process is a method that is organized for assessing and sorting out the decisions that are in nature complex and this has been completed by relying upon the scientific procedure (Pearce et al., 2013). Concerning the Smart Watch Project, the fundamental goal has been to build a multifunctional smart watch that would be beneficial for every consumer with a stipulated time and at an economical cost. It is seen that different criteria are built by taking a look at the cost, effectiveness and demand (Sderqvist et al., 2015). These perspectives would be taken into in picking the best substitute technique that would be utilized by the management keeping in mind the end goal to complete the venture successfully. Henceforth, one might say that making usage of the policies and strategies would be effective for the enhancement of the smart venture adequately. Best Practices for Business Growth One of the greatest difficulties in business development is sustainable development. The long and the short term profits require to be remembered while executing the processes for the growth of the business. Various organizations have distinctive explanations behind the intention of sustainability yet the principle ideas are constant. The preciseness of the business intentions should be kept up. The concerned personnel should over and again look at their sense of intention and in addition guarantee that the company fills the need of the venture appropriately. There ought to be a steady and in addition predictable sense of development (Gigler et al., 2014). It additionally ought to include persistent pragmatic advancement. The real purpose for an organization adds to their USP. It is better for an association to have an unmistakable value and aim for the intention of business development. The smart watch venture needs to use the acts of security, safety and improvement in the lifestyle of the consumers which is one of the highlights the venture looks to accomplish (Wakefield, Myers 2016). Collaboration as well as partnership is likewise a critical factor for the fruitful foundation of the business development. Despite the fact that accomplishing everything uniquely during the time of a business venture is enticing and sensible if there should arise an occurrence of very little accessibility of funds, the best thing to do is to locate the most ideal partners for the smart watch venture. The coordinated effort with the appropriate partners if there should arise an occurrence of the smart watch project will help in the growth and effective development and will likewise be continuous. It is important to know precisely what to do at a specific time in light of the fact that the demands of various ventures are unique. The undertaking ought to be done such that the idea of smart watch venture is considered fruitful and aids in the foundation of the effective strides in the business development. The smart watch venture ought to have appropriate offices alongside the idea of development and also recovery alternatives. A business ecosystem is a financial society of companies and in addition people who function in various ways. It is important to comprehend the requirements of the smart watch venture are not quite the same as other commercial ventures like shopping centres etc. The business ecosystem motivates the organizations undertaking the inventive action and also troublesome tasks by accomplishment of their competitive capacities (Dixon et al., 2013). With a specific end goal to guarantee that the business needs of a specific undertaking are met, it ought to be maintained that the management or the leaders under whom the venture is occurring, should know each specific phase of development. Retrospection, mindfulness, and in addition a key feeling for strategy is essential which is both for the short and term ventures (Solomon et al., 2015). The management accountable for the smart watch venture ought to receive a versatile and in addition an adaptable nature of initiative. By being careful and additionally understanding the business procedures provides the best outcomes for any given task. The sustainable investment in the abilities of individual employees and even with the company helps in the development of the venture (Psacharopoulos, 2014). Business Growth Strategies The business growth strategies should concentrate on the idea of the current venture. It ought to be comprehended that the idea of the smart watch venture is extraordinary. The development of the smart watch venture should be the principle centre of the organization that is busy with the construction of the venture. The production ventures should be undertaken appropriately and the information should be expressed ahead of time too (Zhou et al., 2015). The smart watch venture should not be manufactured in such a way so that it fails to gain the heart of the consumers but should be manufactured with the best quality and features so that new and potential consumers purchase the product as well leading to the rise in the customer base. In other words, it can be explained that smart watch venture looks to comply or correspond with the revolution in the watch technology in order to become a positive impact on the consumers to improve their life style with the help of effective lifestyle and positivity. The cost productivity should be remembered while continuing the smart watch venture. The cost of raw materials is significant and they likewise cause the drainage of the key resources from the various other sectors (Liu et al., 2014). The disclosure to the impact of private financing activities demonstrates that the cost funds are never conveyed. The decreasing of the production quality and the facilities ought not be done in an approach to really hurt the consumers. Profitability Index The index of profitability is also known as the value investment or the profit investment ratio for any manufacturing and production venture and therefore this has been process for project ranking as it grants to quantify the amount of the value established due to the per unit investment. In accordance to the present profitability index of Smart Watch Venture, it can be stated that the profitability index has been 1.96 and hence it can be said that this venture would lead to efficient development of the venture within the scheduled time. Recommendation The venture has been set up by embracing various researches within the Australian market and assessment of the financial reports, project background and the extent of the venture. The nation has been considered as the democracy based market that is energetic and has been working like this for more than 25 years and this development has been conceivable because of the lower level of recessions. The efficient procedure of the legislature has benefitted the Smart Watch Venture due to a viable and effective functioning legal framework. The presence of such a efficient legal framework and government controls has uncovered a successful economic process and this has inspired the private sector organizations to embrace interests in such activities. Thus it is seen that Technocrat has shown interest in the Smart Watch Venture and this in a way would enhance the income for the organization and even conclude the venture in an efficient way. As per the financial anticipations of the Smart Watch Venture it has been watched that this project would be extremely possible to ensure the development and steadiness in the Australian region. It has been prescribed that the venture ought to embrace the practices that they have been performing right now as this has been a successful procedure and efficient utilization of the venture would prompt the effective rate of profitability for Technocrat and conclusion of the venture within the scheduled time period with effective features in the smart watch making the life of the consumers easy and beautiful.
