- 241: Community 2000
- ... Virtual communities¡¨ are created. The question is which are better, ¡§Virtual communities¡¨ or real communities. Virtual communities are built upon common interests. When you go online you can find a chat room based upon your interest. There you meet other people and discuss that interest. Although you have never met these people you get along because you have the same interest. Real communities are based upon interest as well, but unlike virtual communities, real communities can be assembled upon things other than interest. Rarely do you see a virtual community constructed on something other than ...
- 242: Henry Fayol's Principles Of Management
- ... providing material, building up a structure in order carry out the activities of the organisation. To command- represents the aim of getting the optimum return from all employees and to maintain activity among the personnel interest of the organisation. To co-ordinate – binding and harmonising all efforts undertaken by the organisation to facilitate the working process. To control – seeing that everything occurs in conformity with instructions.

This is to provide unity of action and focusing effort on a single task in order to maximise effectiveness. Subordination of individual interest to general interest – the interest of the whole organisation should always count more then the interest of an individual/group. Remuneration of personnel – it should always be the interest of a good manager that remuneration satisfies as ...
- 243: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest: Jesus Christ and McMurphy
- ... the Western hero is that of being a loner, a person who does not build bonds with the people around themselves. McMurphy was a man who enjoyed staying in places that interested him; if the interest disappeared, he would want to as well. Chief Bromden tells us this much about McMurphy's past: Maybe he growed up so wild all over the country, batting around from one place to another, never ... was committed, but began the war anew with a renewed fervour. His motives for his actions had changed from those of the Western hero, a "hatred of authority," "a lust for life,"(Waldmeir) and self-interest, to those of Christ, care and concern for those around him. Thus he continued his war, albeit a war he could not profit from. Instead, he paid the ultimate price, made the ultimate sacrifice, ended ... in-depth look at his story. His first appearance had him described as free-loving and free-spirited. He matched the Western hero for motives, leading himself along in life with his "hard-headed self- interest."(Waldmeir) All of this was shown when he denied the black boy with the thermometer, and when he laughed: Nobody can tell exactly why he laughs; there's nothing funny going on. But it' ...
- 244: Plato vs. Marx: Philosophical Arguments
- ... right sort of intelligence and ability; and also they must look upon the commonwealth as their special concern" (p. 103). They also must use this knowledge to rationally and reasonably make decisions in the best interest of the state, collectively with other philosophers or rulers. A ruler is the best of all the guardians, who is the one that enforces laws made by the rulers, and the eldest of all the ... p.105). After the completion of the tasks, the chosen ruler will have proven to have a solid mind and body. Karl Marx had similar ideas to Plato's society, which acted in the best interest of the entire state. However, unlike the three-class system of Plato, Karl Marx believed that the ideal society should be a classless one. An economical and socially classless society, where all men are equal ... society, which is a communist one, there would not be a group of rich people getting richer off of the poor people's hard work. All sales of products would be used in the best interest of the state, not just in the best interest of a few. This would occur because the products and property would not be privately owned. There would be no bourgeoisie class to own all ...
- 245: Canada's Unemployment Rate
- Canada's Unemployment Rate For decades prior to the 1981-82 recession, the national unemployment rates of Canada and the United States had been nearly identical. Since then, a persistent "unemployment rate gap" has emerged. Throughout most of the 1980s, Canada's unemployment rate has consistently been about 2 percentage points ... including generous payments of unemployment insurance and other social services; but also to the high payroll taxes; and the under performing Canadian economy. There is no single reason for the persistent gap in the unemployment rates of Canada and the U.S., but rather a combination of the above factors. "No society can be flourishing and happy, of which the far greater part of the members are poor and miserable." (Adam ... growing unemployment rate. These programs are a disincentive to work. When comparing the benefits provided for Canadians, with those provided for Americans, it is evident why there is such a large gap in the unemployment rates of the two countries. The gap is the result of the less generous payments of social benefits, and stricter enforcement of eligibility conditions in the U.S. Therefore, one can assume that a trend ...
- 246: Honesty
- ... or wrong. In The Mercury newspaper, 23rd August 1994, it contained an article on burglaries in general. In the article, it said that Australia had one of the world’s highest burglary and domestic violence rates. It was said that this was because of Australians high beer intake in comparison to countries which drink more wine rather than beer (Italy or Greece or Spain). This is proven by the fact that many other beer drinking countries like Canada, America, England, Germany and Holland also have quite high crime, burglary and domestic violence rates. Another factor that adds to Australia’s high crime/burglary rate is the facts that just over 80% of Australia’s population live in a detached, single story house, which is accessible to burglars from all sides. This can be compared to Paris, which has one of the world’s lowest crime/burglary rates. This is due to the fact that Paris’ population is fairly dense, which means that most people live in apartments, flats or units. If you were a burglar, and you had to choose whether ...

- ... turn to her chrysanthemums, of which she is very proud. Her husband s remark, I wish you d work out in the orchard and raise some apples that big (Page 207), shows how little his interest he has for her chrysanthemums/herself. As shown here, Elisa does not feel appreciated by her husband and so she takes care of her chrysanthemums, symbols of how beautiful she really is. Early in the ... to let the reader know that the chrysanthemums are an extension of Elisa. Her gardening area could be described as a cage to protect herself from anything harmful.

- 248: The Panama Canal
- ... The minimum depth is 12.5 m, and the minimum width is 91.5 m. The construction of the canal ranks as one of the greatest engineering works of all time. In history people had interest in a shorter route from the Atlantic to Pacific. This began with the explorers of Central America early in the 16th century. Hernan Cortez was a spanish conqeror of mexico who suggested a canal across ... the present canal. Later more of the canal plans were suggested but no action was taken upon any of these plans suggested. Later on there is more in the canal. The Spanish goverment abandoned its interest in the canal but in the early 19 th century the books of the Germam scientist Alexander von Humboldt brang back the interest in the project of the canal, and in 1819the Spanish goverment formally athorized the construction of a canal and the creation of a company to build it. Nothing came of this effort, however, and ...
- 249: Computer Mediated Evnvironment
- ... Web-based advertising? One perspective on evaluating the effectiveness of Web-based advertising relates to advertising objectives. The most common framework for thinking about objectives is the classic “hierarchy of effects” model, or AIDA, Awareness - Interest - Desire - Action. Are these appropriate objectives for Web-based advertising? How should a site visit be counted? Conventional measures of “eyeballs,” i.e. exposure are not really useful because users jump quickly from one “page” of hypertext to another as well as from one site to another. At the same time, better measures of “interest” can be obtained from “clickstream” data which record the flow of a user’s mouse clicks through a site and between sites. A person who clicks on an ad at a site, moving to the site sponsored by the advertiser, and going through several pages of hypertext at the site produces a quantitative measure of interest. In addition, there has been a considerable amount of econometric work in the area of evaluating advertising effectiveness and advertising carryover effects. These models have tended to focus on sales or market share as ...
- 250: Twinning in Cattle
- ... economic move upward. The American Breeder Service has made efforts to produce semen as well as embryos with high predicted breeding values available to producers. They have been recorded based on twinning probabilities and ovulation rates. A large amount of work on twinning has also been done by the Meat and Animal Research Center. Since the early eighties, they have located cattle with a high frequency of twinning and been forming ... and implant each half to produce identical twins. On the average about 16% of the cows implanted with two embryos produced twins. When two embryos were implanted, and one was placed in each horn, conception rates were comparable with the prior method, however the twinning rate was much higher when the embryos were in separate horns (73% vs. 45%). For the most part, when one embryo was split in an attempt ... techniques as well as ultrasound. Blood can be analyzed in labs to determine fetal weight gain. In addition nutritious feeds and technology that aids in calf survival have made the possibility of high twinning success rates closer to being reality. These factors enable the genetic possibilities to be an asset to producers (Gregory 23-24). “Increased frequency of twinning should increase efficiency of beef production” (Davis 301). Results from twinning ...
