Content: 9 This considerably eroded the consumer demand for EVs, and total yearly sales dropped: PHEV sales fell by 9 per cent and BEV sales fell to a 17 per cent growth rate from 2018 to 2019. 10 On a positive note, a slowdown in the sales of ICE vehicles in the region means that the EV market share in China actually increased. China’s slowdown in the second half of 2019 affected global EV sales figures, but neither the slashed subsidies nor the impact of COVID-19 should impact EV sales significantly in the long term. Chinese authorities announced they would refrain from more subsidy cuts in 2020. 11 Meanwhile, other incentives (for example, number-plate privileges in Tier 1 cities) remain, investment is being made in China’s charging infrastructure and there is a continued focus on encouraging Chinese manufacturers to produce and market EVs. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown measures in place, China saw a 45 per cent decline in passenger car sales in Q1 2020. 12 EV sales fell at a faster rate than the total market (by 56 per cent), as consumers stayed home and showrooms closed their doors. 13 But the rate of recovery has been swift. By March 2020, Chinese factories had recovered to achieve a production rate of 75 per cent, with 86 per cent of employees returning to work.

Organization Design Consulting
Content: Overlapping responsibilities can muddle the question of “who” makes decisions, resulting in inefficiency and slower responses to business opportunities. In fact, a major institutional challenge is often the tension between getting something done quickly versus collaborating, integrating, and bringing the whole company along—with “getting it done quickly” frequently taking priority. Fast decision-making is often celebrated, even when it’s not necessarily effective or well-informed. A third, potentially even more pernicious reason that many organizations have difficulty addressing decision rights is resistance from senior executives. In some organizations, especially in traditional, more hierarchical organizations, executives may want the identity of the individuals making decisions to be obfuscated, particularly for top-level corporate decisions. Why? Because, in environments where decisions are made high up and out of sight, executives find they can more readily exert outsized influence behind the scenes. Leaders can make decisions based on personal interest instead of commonly understood evidence and analysis, and do so while avoiding clear accountability for the outcomes. Simply put, ex

Content: ABC acquires a portfolio of 10 single-family homes that each have in-place leases. The only elements included in the acquired set are the 10 single-family homes and the 10 in-place leases. Each single-family home includes the land, building, and property improvements. Each home has a different floor plan, square footage, lot, and interior design. No employees or other assets are acquired. 805-10-55-53 ABC first considers the threshold guidance in paragraphs 805-10-55-5A through 55-5C. ABC concludes that the land, building, property improvements, and in-place leases at each property can be considered a single asset in accordance with paragraph 805-10-55-5B. That is, the building and property improvements are attached to the land and cannot be removed without incurring significant cost. Additionally, the in-place lease is an intangible asset that should be combined with the related real estate and considered a single asset. 805-10-55-54 ABC also concludes that the 10 single assets (the combined land, building, in-place lease intangible, and property improvements) are similar. Each home has a different floor plan; however, the nature of the assets (all single-family homes) are similar.

English learners (ELs) were enrolled in schools in 2014–15.a
Who Are English Learners?
The vast majority of ELs were Hispanic or Latino, while one-quarter of all students were Hispanic or Latino.
Homeless, Title I, and migrant students were more likely to be ELs than the overall student population.
ELs with disabilities were more likely to be classified as having a specific learning disability, or speech or language impairment.
Where Are English Learners?
English Learners were heavily concentrated in districts and schools with their EL peers.
School districts where ELs comprised a high proportion of enrollment accounted for 46 percent of ELs in the country but only 15 percent of all students overall.

Content: Title I is the largest federal program supporting elementary and secondary education. Families and Schools as Partners
If families are to work with schools as partners in the education of their children, schools must provide them with the opportunities and support they need to become involved. Too often schools expect families to do it all alone. Developing effective partnerships with families requires that all school staff (administrators, teachers, and support staff) create a school environment that welcomes parents and encourages them to raise questions and voice their concerns as well as to participate appropriately in decision making. Developing partnerships also requires that school staff provide parents with the information and training they need to become involved and that they reach out to parents with invitations to participate in their children's learning. Schools that are most successful in engaging parents and other family members in support of their children's learning look beyond traditional definitions of parent involvement--participating in a parent teacher organization or signing quarterly report cards--to a broader conception of parents as full partners in the education of their children. Rather than striving only to increase parent participation in school-based activities, successful schools seek to support families in their activities outside of school that can encourage their children's learning. Schools that have developed successful partnerships with parents view student achievement as a shared responsibility, and all stakeholders--including parents, administrators, teachers, and community leaders--play important roles in supporting children's learning. Successful school-family partnerships require the sustained mutual collaboration, support, and participation of school staffs and families at home and at school in activities that can directly affect the success of children's learning. If families are to work with schools as full partners in the education of their children, schools must provide them with the opportunities and support they need for success.

Successful Approaches to Family Involvement in Education
This Idea Book is intended to assist educators, parents, and policy makers as they develop and nurture school-family partnerships. 2 The Idea Book identifies and describes successful strategies used by 20 local Title I programs that have overcome barriers to parent involvement (see appendix B for a brief overview of each program). These district and school programs enhance parent-school communications and help parents support their children's academic work at school and at home. Some of the programs involve parents in school planning and governance activities and as volunteers. Some also provide coordinated essential non-educational services for families to support their children's academic development.

The experience of the school and district programs reviewed for this report supports the conclusion that family involvement can have significant effects on student achievement. Appendix B presents evidence of improvement in student outcomes, wherever it was available, for each of the school or district programs highlighted in this Idea Book. Although it is impossible to attribute student achievement gains or other student outcomes in any of these schools or districts solely to their parent involvement activities, it does appear that many schools that make parent involvement a priority also see student outcomes improve.

Build on what works well. Begin the school-family partnership by identifying, with families, the strengths, interests, and needs of families, students, and school staff, and design strategies that respond to identified strengths, interests, and needs. Training and staff development is an essential investment.

Success for All
WHAT IS IT? Success for All is a school-based achievement-oriented program for disadvantaged students in grades pre-K through five. This program is designed to prevent or intervene in the development of learning problems in the early years by effectively organizing instructional and family support resources within the regular classroom. In particular, the goal is to ensure that virtually every student in a high-poverty school will finish the third grade with grade-level reading skills. A corollary of "success for all" is that no student will be left to "fall between the cracks" on the path to acquiring good reading skills. HOW DID IT GET STARTED? Success for All grew out of a partnership between the Baltimore City Public Schools and the Center for Research on Elementary and Middle Schools (CREMS), formerly at The Johns Hopkins University. Baltimore's school board president and superintendent challenged the research team at CREMS to develop a program that would enable every child in an inner-city Baltimore elementary school to perform at grade level by the end of grade three. The program was first implemented during the 1987-88 school year in Baltimore.

Content: From grades two through five, students use school- or district-selected reading materials, basals, and trade books. At this level, partner reading, exercises in identifying characters, settings, and problem solutions of narratives and in summarizing stories, writing, and direct instruction in reading comprehension skills, together with a form of cooperative learning, are all used to develop reading skills based on the Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition (CIRC) program. The teachers and tutors complete briefing forms to communicate periodically about students' specific problems and needs. Tutors: Based on evidence that one-to-one tutoring is the most effective form of instruction known, specially trained certified teachers work individually with all students in grades one through three who are not yet reading at grade level. Priority is given to first grade students as a means of preventing the need for remediation. Special education: Every effort is made to address a student's learning problems within the regular classroom, supplemented with tutoring. Tutors evaluate the student's strengths and weaknesses and develop strategies to teach according to individual needs. In some schools, special education teachers work as tutors and reading teachers with students identified as learning disabled as well as with other students experiencing learning problems.

At others, the family support teams help put families in touch with the appropriate community agencies that can provide health and social services. Facilitator: A full-time facilitator works with teachers in each Success for All school to help them implement the reading program. In addition, the facilitator coordinates the 8-week assessments, assists the family support team, facilitates staff support teams, plans and implements staff development, and helps all teachers and tutors ensure that every child is making adequate progress in reading. Teachers and teacher training: Teachers and tutors receive 3 days of inservice training and detailed manuals at the beginning of each school year, and extensive classroom follow-up throughout the year. For grades one through three, the training is focused on implementation of the reading program. Preschool and kindergarten teachers and aides are trained in the use of the STaR and Peabody programs and in other aspects of the preschool/kindergarten models. Advisory committee:

Advisory committee: An advisory committee, composed of the school principal, the program facilitator, teacher representatives, a social worker, and Johns Hopkins research staff, meets weekly to review program progress. HOW SUCCESSFUL IS IT? Research scientists have conducted a series of assessments of Success for All participants which indicate significant improvement in test scores, especially for those students whose pretest scores placed them in the lowest quarter of their grade. In fact, only 3.9 percent of third-graders in the program since the first grade are currently performing 2 years below grade level, compared with 11.7 percent of the matched control group students. Retention and special education placements have also declined significantly since the program was implemented.

Content: Although the fully funded schools have overall achievement effects only slightly better than those obtained in less well-funded schools, they had a much more positive effect on the performance of the most at-risk students (those in the lowest 25 percent at pretest). Thus, while less expensive forms of Success for All can significantly increase the achievement of students in general, guaranteeing the success of every student requires more funding. These costs could be offset considerably by the savings realized from reductions in retention and special education placements. HOW DOES IT COMPARE TO SIMILAR PROGRAMS? Other approaches to early intervention have similar costs and objectives. The most successful of these all have elements in common with Success for All. For example, the one-to-one tutoring program, Reading Recovery, also has positive effects on low-achieving first-graders and, although the program does not continue past the first grade, recent studies reveal that its effects do. Several studies on programs featuring reduced class size do not reveal them to be as effective as Success for All. Other high-quality preschool programs have had substantial immediate effects on students' IQs and language skills, moderate effects on special education placements, and important long-term effects on dropping out and delinquency, but have had few effects on student achievement. In fact, none of these alternatives appears to be as effective in increasing reading performance.

What Actually Changes When Cultures Change?
Content: Less time was available for direct conversation. The size of houses in more affluent areas of the U.S. are now usually 2-3 times larger than they were in the 1950's. As a consequence, family members often have their own rooms and become even more isolated from each other. Parents with few children
can give more personal
attention to each of them
Similarly, the introduction of new, effective birth control measures, mostly beginning in the early 1960's, allowed people to easily limit the number of children they had and to space their births. This affected the relationships of children with their parents and siblings. When there are fewer children, parents can give more attention to each one. Likewise, more money per child is available for clothes, entertainment, gifts, and education. Potentially, there is also more money and leisure time for parents when there are fewer children in their family. North American father
in a non-traditional role: caring for his child while
his wife works elsewhere
The interrelated nature of cultural institutions can also be seen in the effects of changing roles for American women since the mid-20th century.

The interrelated nature of cultural institutions can also be seen in the effects of changing roles for American women since the mid-20th century. As they have increasingly moved into the work force outside of the home, it has given them financial independence and has altered traditional roles within the family. Men are less essential as bread winners and less accepted as patriarchs . They have begun to take on more child rearing and other domestic household responsibilities previously defined as "women's work." Divorce has become an economically viable alternative for women in unhappy marriages. There also has been a marked decrease in the frequency of mother-child interaction.

Title: Early Theories of Evolution: Evidence of Evolution

Content: Early Theories of Evolution: Evidence of Evolution
Evidence of Evolution
The Nobel Prize winning scientist Linus Pauling aptly described science as the search for truth. Science does this by continuously comparing its theories objectively with evidence in the natural world. When theories no longer conform to the evidence, they are modified or rejected in favor of new theories that do conform. In other words, science constantly tries to prove its assumptions to be false and rejects implausible explanations. In this way, scientific knowledge and understanding grow over time. Religious explanations for the order of things are not science because they are based primarily on faith and do not subject themselves to be objectively falsified. Because of this fundamental difference in the approach to understanding our natural world, the U.S. Supreme Court in effect decided in 1987 that the Biblically based "creation science" is not a science and cannot be taught as such in public schools as an alternative or in addition to the mainstream evolutionary theory of the biological sciences. However, religious creation stories and the idea of "intelligent design" can be taught in philosophy, religion, or history courses. Religion and Science provide different approaches to knowledge.

The speed and direction of change is variable with different species lines and at different times. Continuous evolution over many generations can result in the development of new varieties and species.

Content: The yield of the 10-year Japanese government bond finished the month at 0.098%. Value/Growth Reversion Continues as Record Budget Is Approved
With coronavirus vaccines slowly being rolled out globally and economies either beginning, or planning, to open up, Japan equities started the month positively, once again led by value-oriented stocks. The year so far has been characterized by a reversion in the Japanese market, with value outperforming growth companies, as cheap valuations of companies severely impacted by the pandemic have attracted considerable investor interest. Also driving the strong rally in value this year is the general speculation that inflation is set to rise significantly moving forward, given the vast amounts of fiscal and monetary stimulus provided by governments and central banks globally. Indeed, March saw the Japanese Diet approve a record JPY 106.61 trillion (USD 976 billion) budget for the 2021 fiscal year (commencing April 1), aimed at helping to mitigate the fallout from the coronavirus pandemic as well as rising social security and defense costs. Coronavirus Concerns Weigh, but U.S. Stimulus Plan Boosts Sentiment
The lifting of the coronavirus state of emergency in the Tokyo metropolitan region—the last area in the country to be under such restrictions—provided a further boost to sentiment. However, this was to be short-lived, as news of a third wave of coronavirus lockdowns in some European countries dented hopes of a broad economic reopening, sending Japanese equities sharply lower mid-month.

Why is Facebook losing its users?
What is Facebook doing?
Conclusion
Content: Facebook’s business model is based on running ads to users, and the company hasn’t been transparent in providing details about how it uses the data to run effective ad campaigns for businesses. This mistrust and lack of transparency are disengaging many users. But there are other reasons too: users are losing interest in the social media site because they have more options. Facebook has come a long way from being the only major social networking platform. Today, the tech giant faces competition from other social networking apps and sites such as Snapchat, Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram. Moreover, user behavior indicates that people on social media platforms prefer interactions within a community or group. Platforms, such as YouTube, provide users with content that interests them. Activate Inc. says that, on average, a person in the US has 5.8 social media accounts. The report also says that this number will rise to 10 by the year 2023.

Conclusion
Content: In 2013, Facebook tried to acquire Snapchat for 3 billion dollars. Snapchat declined this offer. Hence, Facebook introduced the story format by replicating Snapchat. But the feature failed to impress users. Despite the decrease in users, Facebook is still the preferred choice for advertisers and small businesses. Facebook’s algorithms for running advertisements is popular and highly effective. Hence, advertisers have not shifted to other platforms. It indicates that Facebook is still a key player when it comes to running advertisements. For political parties to run ads on the platform, Facebook has taken measures to curtail misinformation.

Characteristics of Perfect Competition

Barriers to Entry or Exit
Examples
Example 1
Example 2
Content: Homogeneous Product
Second most important determinant of perfect competition is the nature of the product. Perfect competition occurs only where the product traded in the market is homogenous i.e. it is standardized such that a buyer can’t tell the difference between the products of Firm A and Firm B. This assumption is important because due to standardized nature of the product, units produced by Firm A and Firm B are perfect substitutes. If there is a difference between quality or even perception of a difference, consumers might be willing to pay a premium to the firm whose quality they consider to be superior. If a perfectly-competitive market introduces differentiated products, it is more like a monopolistic competition. Barriers to Entry or Exit
The third critical assumption in perfect competition is that the existing firms can’t stop any new firms from entering the market or existing firms from leaving the market. It means that there are no patents, copyrights or other legal hurdles or even economic hurdles such as economies of scale, increasing returns to scale, etc. This assumption is important because it ensures that no firm earns positive economic profit in the long-run. If the market is profitable in the short-run, new firms will enter the market, and this would return the market to zero economic profit. Similarly, if existing firms are incurring loses, some of them will exit the market and the remaining firms would start earning zero economic profit. Examples
Example 1
Let’s consider Bugda Farms, one of the 250 equal-sized farms in Agraria who are engaged in cultivation of wheat.

Having extra spaces in cells can affect how you can use the data in your spreadsheet. Sorting your data, for example, won’t work correctly if your cells have extra spaces in the front. Extra spaces at the end of cells can make it hard to correctly join text from different cells or use other features like Flash Fill. Using TRIM to clean up these spaces will make your spreadsheet easier to use. How to Use TRIM in Excel
Using TRIM in Excel is pretty easy! Find a space in your spreadsheet where you can enter the TRIM function – next to your data is usually the easiest
Type =TRIM (cell to TRIM)
In the parentheses, enter the cell address that you want to trim extra spaces from
Press Enter when done
Example of TRIM Function in Excel
Apply TRIM to Multiple Cells at the Same Time
You can also apply TRIM to a range of cells at once either by: Dragging down your original TRIM function
Using copy and paste to apply it to other cells
Referencing the cell range in your TRIM function or
Assigning a Defined Name to your data range and referencing that name in your TRIM Function
Example of Applying TRIM to Range of Cells

Five ways to be an ally to marginalized groups
Who lives on the periphery of your community and why? Marginalized groups exist nearly everywhere. They are people who, for whatever reason, are denied involvement in mainstream economic, political, cultural and social activities. Targeting or ignoring one group can ultimately affect the whole society. Leslie Lefkow, deputy director for Africa at the organization Human Rights Watch, said: “ The problem of discriminating against or marginalizing minorities is one where you’re setting the precedent for the state to use discrimination. And in its most simple form, nobody should rest comfortably with that because you don’t know when that will be turned against you for whatever reason.” The well-known “coexist” image in chalk (Courtesy of The Wandering Owl)
Stress, anxiety, anger or depression are normal byproducts of being marginalized. Lefkow said grievances that remain unaddressed can also stoke fires of civil unrest and violence that could devastate the entire community. “When you also marry that discrimination with a crackdown on freedom of expression so that marginalized groups have no ability to peacefully voice their grievances, what space do you leave for citizens to protest or raise their concerns?”

The best way you can help end exclusion and isolation is to work on being a strong ally. That means educating yourself on the privileges your own group enjoys to better understand the perspectives of members of marginalized communities. Here are five things you can do: Start paying attention to what you say.

Content: In no time, you’ll be saying goodbye to marijuana smell. Pluggable Fragrance Warmers are made with aromatic ingredients that give off a pleasant scent as you melt them. Your space will smell amazing and it’s a much better scent than marijuana. Scented candles may also do the trick but don’t just get a regular scented candle. Instead, get one that is specially formulated to tackle the smell from marijuana smoke. One product worth checking is Cannabolish Smoke Odor Removing Set, which is marketed as a non-toxic marijuana smoke eliminator made from natural ingredients, like beeswax and plant oils. Air freshener sprays are also great to use to eliminate the marijuana odor. Two products that are used by many marijuana smokers are Ozium Smoke & Odors Eliminator and Cannabolish Odor Eliminating Spray . You can use scented products in your own home, or might give it as a gift to your weed-smoking neighbor. Clean Your Walls
You may need to do some cleaning of your home, especially if the smell has stuck to your walls – marijuana smoke does that.

Content: Orwell writes: “ He would flog her to death with a rubber truncheon. He would tie her to a stake and shoot her full of arrows like Saint Sebastian…” (pp.18). This compels the reader to feel sympathetic and concerned for the mental well-being of Winston and consequently causes us to read on. In addition, the use of a third-person perspective is consistent throughout the text, however the bolded slogans of The Party, “WAR IS PEACE, FREEDOM IS SLAVERY, IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH” (pp.10) draws focus to the hypocrisy and ridiculousness of the Party’s regime. Consequently, momentum is developed as the reader is angered and fearful for the characters and how they are being manipulated. The use of characterisation also develops momentum within George Orwell’s ‘1984’. The description of characters such as O’Brien is used to demonstrate the sheer power and influence of the Party and their indoctrination. An example from the text is: “ Even O’Brien’s heavy face was flushed.

Content: References to Emmanuel Goldstein as a sheep are made throughout the text to emphasize the helplessness an futility of resistance to the Party. Goldstein is described as: “ a lean Jewish face, with great fuzzy aureole of white hair and a small goatee beard… kind of senile silliness.” The likening of Goldstein to a sheep is symbolic of the Party’s total control over the populace of Oceania. Even those who fight against the Party are no more powerful than sheep to their shepherd. In doing this, the readers are compelled to oppose the Party, arousing emotions that develop momentum. Reply

The ‘Two Minutes Hate’ in George Orwell’s novel 1984 generates momentum in the story and intrigues the reader to continue. Winston Smith, the protagonist of the story, is portrayed as a fairly levelheaded, intelligent man until the ‘Two Minutes Hate’ when even he is succumbed to frenzy. ” Winston found that he was shouting with the others and kicking his heel violently against the rung of his chair… a hideous ecstasy of fear and vindictiveness, a desire to kill, to torture, to smash faces with a sledge-hammer, seemed to flow through the whole group of people” (pg17). Orwell uses this narrative device of characterisation to expose to the reader to how easily manipulated and controlled the Party members can be.

Especially during the ‘Two Minutes Hate’, the dark satire in the slogan mocks how easily a totalitarian government can feed lies and fabrications into the minds of their followers – and how easily the followers can swallow it. The ‘Two Minutes Hate’ ends with the crowd of people chanting “B-B” to the face of their “saviour” (Big Brother). Orwell uses this eerie dialogue and style of writing to contribute to the momentum of the novel by overwhelming the reader in the emotions of the crowd and illustrating the how the Party members have been manoeuvred to feel.

Momentum is the heart of the novel and without Orwell’s brain you wouldn’t continue flicking pages in 1984. The two minute hate, in which you first read about on page 16, is a daily telescreen viewing that specializes in various elements of crimethink that are packaged into a parade of horrible images and sounds, which viewers are expected to release negative emotions upon. The two minute hate as George explained in the book “was not that one was obliged to act a part, but that it was impossible to avoid joining in.” ( Page 17) The hate was a way of brainwashing people. Imagine your sitting in a pub and your watching a game of football everyone is supporting the side that is wining.

This is what the two minute hate was based on, because everyone else was yelling at Goldstein, Winston was then obliged to follow. George uses many narrative devices placed intricately throughout the book. Setting plays a very large roll in the book 1984 as George Orwell uses very descriptive words to capture the reader’s attention. George describes everyone in the room as “the self-satisfied sheep like face” which can be related back to Big Brother having such a sense of control over everyone, as sheep always stay in one group and follow one ruler.

George uses interesting ways of symbolizations between the characters in the book to grasp the reader’s attention. During the two minute hate Winston becomes aware of a girl who is yelling out “Swine! Swine! Swine!” and throws the newspeak book at the telescreen. Winston, however, feels an immense hatred towards the ‘Dark haired girl’ as he is tricked to believe she is yelling at Goldstein when actually she is yelling Swine at Big Brother. It is only later in the book where Winston meets Julia (the dark haired girl) does he discover she hates the party. George carries out momentum in the book when he explains everyone’s hatred towards Goldstein however what most grabs the readers attention is when he mentions “but what was strange was that although Goldstein was hated and despised by everybody, although everyday, and a thousand times a day, on platforms, on the telescreen, in newspapers, in books, this theories were refuted, smashed ridiculed, held up to the general gaze for the pitiful rubbish that they were- in spite of all of this, his influence never seemed to grow less. Always there were fresh dupes waiting to be seduced by him” (page 16) The irony in that paragraph provokes readers emotions and thoughts and assists in questioning them why people love Goldstein when Big Brother tells them otherwise, this makes the readers keep reading.

“Momentum is the driving force of a novel, the factor that encourages or impels the reader to turn the pages and follow through to the end.” Through the use of narrative devices such as dialogue, motif and setting momentum is achieved. George Orwell’s novel ‘1984’ is based on a totalitarian society in Oceania. Orwell has used many narrative devices to attain momentum, specifically in Chapter 1 during the Two Minutes Hate. Two Minutes Hate is a daily ritual in which the citizens of Oceania take place in.

Dialogue is a narrative device used in this section and as a result there is momentum. Orwell describes how the entire group break out into “a deep, slow rhythmical chant of ‘B-B!…B-B!…B-B! – over and over again, very slowly” (p.19). This shows how the society is brainwashed by the party and how controlling it is.

Motif is just one narrative device that Orwell uses to create momentum. The lines “WAR IS PEACE FREEDOM IS SLAVERY IGNORNACE IS STRENGTH” is a reoccurring motif in the novel. The reader is both confused and angry at the hypocrisy of those words. This shows how easily the government can control and brain wash the citizens of Oceania.

The captions read “Big Brother is watching you” (p.4). George Orwell has introduced the readers to the horrible totalitarian society that Winston and many others live in.

Symbolism and Characterization are used when Orwell is describing the reaction of Winston’s peers to the face of their enemy, Emanuel Goldstein. Just 30 seconds into the Two Minutes Hate, the energy and intense collaboration of emotions in the room had reached its peak and the words used to describe this atmosphere were equally confronting. “ A hideous ecstasy of fear and vindictiveness, a desire to kill, to torture… seemed to flow through the whole

After the civil war, while reconstruction was going on in the southern states, industrialization ramped up in the north and old north west (Chicago and Cincinnati for example). In order to provide raw materials for this industrialization, the United States sought to exert control over Latin American economies. The domination of the economy of one country by another is called imperialism. A few links to definitions of imperialism: Merriam-Webster Dictionary
New York State's Regents Definition
What do you think imperialism is? Can you think of any examples of imperialism today? In the years leading up to the Spanish-American War, many american politicians advocated for an increased US presence in Latin America, an area which had been colonized by Spain and then dominated by England.

Causes of the War
Demands by Cuban patriots for independence from Spanish rule made U.S. intervention in Cuba a paramount issue in the relations between the United States and Spain from the 1870s to 1898. Sympathy for the Cuban insurgents ran high in America, especially after the savage Ten Years War (1868–78) and the unsuccessful revolt of 1895. After efforts to quell guerrilla activity had failed, the Spanish military commander, Valeriano Weyler y Nicolau, instituted the reconcentrado, or concentration camp, system in 1896; Cuba's rural population was forcibly confined to centrally located garrison towns, where thousands died from disease, starvation, and exposure.

The United States watched with interest as Cuba struggled for independence. The United States had millions of dollars invested in businesses in Cuba and there were many U.S. citizens in residence there. The U.S. also traded goods with Cuba. In 1898, the United States assisted in war to protect its citizens and businesses in Cuba. This war was known as the Spanish-American War. The United States declared war on Spain after the U.S. warship, the Maine, exploded and sank on February 15, 1898 while visiting Havana, Cuba. No one really knows what caused the warship to explode, but the United States blamed Spain.

Mining companies in Ghana have their work cut out. Ghana has a wide variety of minerals, from Gold, to Bauxite, to Diamonds and Manganese. It is the largest Gold producer in Africa, and has very large deposits of silver, petroleum, salt and natural gas. Most of the mining activities in Ghana begun back in the 90's, but petroleum exploration was in progress in the early 19th century. Unfortunately, most of the mining activities, including exploration are carried out by international companies. And the Ghanaian government has stakes in some of these companies, while having full ownership of some. Ordinary investors who are well versed with the business can invest too.

How to count text in Excel?
Now let’s go through the following steps to count text in Excel!
Let’s Count cells that are not blank
=COUNTA (B2:C6,F2:G6)
How to count the total number of words in a cell
=LEN (TRIM (A1))-LEN (SUBSTITUTE (A1,” “,””))+1
=LEN (TRIM (A1))-LEN (SUBSTITUTE (A1,” “,””))+1
LEN (SUBSTITUTE (A1,” “,””))
Content: =LEN (TRIM (A1))-LEN (SUBSTITUTE (A1,” “,””))+1
Now press ENTER. It is showing the result 7. So there are 7 words in cell A1. Remember: How this word counting formula works? =LEN (TRIM (A1))-LEN (SUBSTITUTE (A1,” “,””))+1
First, we use the SUBSTITUTE function to remove all spaces in the cell A1 by replacing them with an empty text string (“”) for the LEN function to return the length of the string without spaces: LEN (SUBSTITUTE (A1,” “,””))
After that, we subtract the string length without spaces from the total length of the string and add 1 to the final word count, since the number of words in a cell equals to the number of spaces plus 1. Additionally, we use the TRIM function to eliminate extra spaces in the cell, if any. Sometimes a worksheet may contain a lot of invisible spaces, for example, two or more spaces between words or space characters accidentally typed at the beginning or end of the text (i.e. leading and trailing spaces). All those extra spaces can throw your word count off.

Teach children how to handle anger and frustration. Explain to them that making mistakes is completely normal. Listen to them carefully. They will develop self-efficacy when they feel like they’re being heard. They translate this action into feelings of love and worth. Teach them to make decisions and try new challenges. With this, you can foster independence and the ability to weigh benefits and risks. Express how you feel with words and show them that mistakes are a chance to learn.

Self-esteem issues are unfortunately quite common among adolescents and can greatly affect their quality of life.
6 Self-esteem issues in adolescents
1. Unable to meet their objectives
2. Comparisons
3. Low motivation
4. Constant concerns
5. Difficulty relating to others
6. Feeling of inferiority
Signs of self-esteem issues in adolescents
Content: Adolescents base many of their thoughts around constant comparison. Comparisons are not rational, because each person is different, with his or her particular qualities and flaws. 3. Low motivation
Adolescence is a complicated and sensitive period. Many teenagers find that their motivation to pursue excellence is seriously compromised by the physical, emotional, social or neurological obstacles that can happen at this stage. Certainly, there is also a high incidence of motivational difficulties among adolescents. This lack of motivation can translate into apathy, fatigue, inactivity, non-compliance, low academic performance or social isolation. When you are different, you often do not see the millions of people who accept themselves for who they are. Only the person who does not do it is noticed. –Jodi Picoult–

There are certain things we can do on a daily basis to help our children in their education: Accompany them. Read, incorporate math into everyday situations, and help your children with their homework. This will help them better understand what they’re learning. At the same time, it will boost their autonomy to do things correctly, on their own. This also helps them establish responsible routines. You can also participate in school events and activities to show your child even more support. Encourage, but don’t pressure. Show your children that you trust in their abilities and expect the best from them. However, be careful that this doesn’t turn into a burden for them.

Ariely then set up another booth with the same two choices but lowered the price by one cent each, thus making the kisses cost nothing and the truffles cost 14 cents each. This time, the vast majority of people selected the kisses instead of the truffles. If people acted on pure mathematical logic, explained Ariely, there should have been no change in the behavior of the subjects. The price difference was the same. But you don’t think in that way. Your loss aversion system is always vigilant, waiting on standby to keep you from giving up more than you can afford to spare, so you calculate the balance between cost and reward whenever possible.

Without it, you don’t weigh the pros and cons with as much attention to detail as you would if you had to factor in potential losses.

This is why marketing and good salesmanship is often all about convincing you what you want to buy is worth more than what you must pay for it. You see something as a good value when you predict the pain of loss will be offset by your joy of gain. If they did their job well, somewhere in your Byzantine perception you feel as though you won’t lose at all. Emotionally, you will come out ahead.

Content: You just have make sure that you are conscious enough to not just let it happen by default. How to change your perception
I’ve taken the liberty of writing out a short 3 step process to help you change your perception. But be warned, although the instructions might be short, I can assure you that learning to implement this strategy might take a bit of dedication and faith. I know, you might be skeptical about whether this will even make you ________ (fill in the blank with the desired emotional state you’re looking to achieve), which is why you’ll need faith. But it’ll only be required for a short time, cause I have no doubt that slowly you’ll start recognizing the drastic changes in your life due to your new vantage point. Step 1: Mindfulness
By default, most of us spend our time agonizing about the past or daydreaming about the future. We don’t live in the present. And because of that, we aren’t conscious of most of our thoughts, feelings, activities or interactions. The best strategy I know to bring more awareness into our inner and outer circumstances is through mindfulness.

'Britain has its own problems'
Voting for the status quo?
Content: Such a vote must surely be growing likelier by the day: if Labour does promise to hold one, can the Conservatives afford not to do so, too? Here are three scenarios. Ed Miliband wins the next election, calls a referendum and campaigns for staying in the EU. The Lib Dems and many business leaders campaign with him, but the Tories are divided. However, assuming that Labour is sensible enough to hold its referendum soon after the election, during the honeymoon months, hostility from parts of a defeated and divided Tory party cuts little ice. A campaign for the status quo emphasises the dangers of withdrawal from the club of our biggest trading partners. Cameron wins the election and calls an early referendum in order to confirm Britain’s membership of the EU, remove the poison from his party’s bloodstream and puncture the UKIP bubble. This time all three main party leaders as well as the business community campaign against withdrawal. As with scenario 1, their campaign stresses the dangers of leaving the club.

Content: However, assuming that Labour is sensible enough to hold its referendum soon after the election, during the honeymoon months, hostility from parts of a defeated and divided Tory party cuts little ice. A campaign for the status quo emphasises the dangers of withdrawal from the club of our biggest trading partners. Cameron wins the election and calls an early referendum in order to confirm Britain’s membership of the EU, remove the poison from his party’s bloodstream and puncture the UKIP bubble. This time all three main party leaders as well as the business community campaign against withdrawal. As with scenario 1, their campaign stresses the dangers of leaving the club. Cameron wins the election, calls an early referendum and campaigns for withdrawal. He will counter the fear arguments of the Labour and Lib Dem leaders by saying that the status quo is even more dangerous for Britain’s future, because the EU has become so dysfunctional. I would expect scenarios 1 and 2 to lead to clear majorities for Britain remaining in the EU. The outcome of scenario 3 is harder to call. IF the EU is still in crisis, and IF, as a result, a significant number of British business leaders say publicly that their companies are more likely to prosper outside the EU, then ‘the grass is greener’ might prove more compelling than ‘keep a hold of nurse’.

Content: The most damaging aspect of covert narcissism is the controlling and manipulative behavior that the individual imposes on the people closest to them. If in a relationship, the narcissist's partner often bears the brunt of the manipulation (though this is not always the case) as family, friends and children, too, will suffer from a lack of empathy. A female covert narcissist may have children with their partner in order to secure them as nothing more than a resource by inadequately using or intentionally damaging contraception, or by committing paternity fraud. A male covert narcissist may try to control their partner in the same way by purposely not using or damaging contraception and exploiting the emotional bond between mother and child. Isolation of the Victim
In a typical case, the only person who realizes that there is a problem is the person who is closest to the covert narcissist. These individuals are often unwillingly forced to suffer covert narcissistic abuse (very subtle emotional blackmail, mental abuse and psychological manipulation). Narcissists end up obscuring the truth and twisting literally every little detail back at the victim; they expertly mix the truth with a lie in order to distort the truth in their favor. This abuse is so well-hidden within the communication dynamics of the relationship that the victim often doesn't pick up on it and is left scratching their head wondering, "Is it me?" When a victim of this type of abuse begins to develop awareness of the manipulation, it gradually dawns on them that they have already been alienated from those that they would turn to for support.

7 Reasons Why You Should Always Speak Your Mind

Are you the person that just sits in the background and doesn’t really say much? If someone says something that upsets you or that you disagree with, do you usually just let it go without so much as a word? If so, you may be doing yourself more harm than good. People today seem extra cautious about the words that come out of their mouth. Everyone tries to be politically correct so as not to offend anyone else’s sensibility. While it’s good to not openly attack or belittle someone else for their thoughts or beliefs, it is extremely beneficial to you if you share some of your own. This is why: 1. People aren’t mind readers
If you don’t say what is on your mind, how is anyone else to know what you’re thinking? It may seem obvious to you where you stand on a particular subject but that isn’t always the case.

If you don’t say what is on your mind, how is anyone else to know what you’re thinking? It may seem obvious to you where you stand on a particular subject but that isn’t always the case. People can interpret things very differently, so those around you may be reading you all wrong. This is primarily true in close relationships. It’s easy to think that your partner or family should be able to read you like a book. We believe that they should know by our mannerisms what we’re thinking or how we’re feeling. However, all too often they’re not quite as astute as we give them credit for.

Salsa Dancing Fun Facts
Ballroom dancing is probably more popular today than ever.

Taking a dance course is not only good for you to stay in shape, it also gives you an opportunity to have an amazing cultural experience. Salsa gained incredible success worldwide especially in the recent years among both men and women. It is hard to pinpoint what exactly contributed to this trend, but there are some interesting facts about Salsa that may have influenced its popularity. It Has an Intriguing History
Salsa is deemed to be originally from Cuba, however, it is not solely a Cuban dance. It is believed that it represents a combination of African and Caribbean dances. It appeared in the 1920s and according to some early data it started gaining success in the U.S. in the early 1930s. Salsa is in fact a combination of various influences from different corners of the world and that is probably the reason why it attracts so many people. We can all find a little bit of ourselves and our cultural heritage in it.

Title: Advantages of Financial Leverage | Your Business
Headings: Advantages of Financial Leverage
Advantages of Financial Leverage
Increases Available Money
Shareholder Profits
Better Credit
Considerations
Content: For example, if a business produces ballpoint pens, and a new machine hits the market that can increase the efficiency of ballpoint pen manufacturing by 30 percent, it can use the free cash to purchase the machine outright. The business might also invest the money in marketing a new product or save it against future sales slumps. While borrowed money does require long-term payments, these payments are typically small and predictable. Shareholder Profits
A business that uses financial leverage can produce higher shareholder profits than businesses that only employ stock sales for financing. In businesses that only use shareholder equity, increases in business profit correspond exactly to increases in per-share stock value or dividend payments. If the profit increases 2 percent, shareholders get 2 percent more. When a business takes on a loan, the improved profitability of the business does not impact the loan payment. The difference in profitability yields higher value per share or increased dividends. If the profit increases 2 percent, shareholders of a business with financial leverage may see, for example, an increase in dividend payments of 3 percent. Better Credit
The high rate of business failure often leads lenders to be somewhat risk-averse, even for businesses that seem financially stable.

The high rate of business failure often leads lenders to be somewhat risk-averse, even for businesses that seem financially stable. Securing even small amounts of financial leverage and paying consistently on the borrowed funds can help to improve the overall credit rating of the business. The next time the business seeks credit, it can often secure better options in terms of repayment length and overall interest rate. Because a business can need financial leverage a number of times over the lifetime of the business, improving this credit rating represents a long-term investment in itself. Considerations
Financial leverage does not guarantee an improvement in profitability. All businesses must cope with a degree of uncertainty regarding future sales, but businesses offering new or untested products and services run much higher risks of failure.

What Are the Benefits of Making a Profit?
Retained Earnings
Owner Income
Business Growth
Company Morale
Content: This is usually a contrasting way to use retained earnings as opposed to paying dividends. With profit, you can invest in new buildings, equipment, labor, supplies and technology infrastructure. This can create a domino affect, leading to more profit in the future. Additionally, profitability makes your business more appealing to banks and creditors, which gives you possible access to loan funds for growth. Company Morale
An indirect benefit of making money is that it positively impacts company morale. Owners naturally feel better about their time, energy and monetary investment in operating the business. Employees may also take pride in knowing they work for a profitable, successful company. Additionally, profit allows a company to operate with a more employee-friendly approach regarding strong compensation and resource provision. This can instill greater faith and a sense of security in workers. References

Content: Companies with short cash conversion won't have problems making these payments and can take advantage of early payment discounts when they want to. Wooing Lenders
Just because a company has a short cash conversion cycle doesn't mean that they have unlimited funds. Just like any other company, the company may run into unexpected expenses or find themselves with a short amount of time to invest in a new product or growth opportunity. Many small businesses quickly fail due to seasonal business and cash shortages. For this reason, lenders heavily consider a company's cash flow when making decisions regarding amounts and rates. Showing a positive cash conversion cycle reassures lenders that you can collect on all of the profits you generate. References

A Summary of Consumer Behavior
Content: This can be done by identifying segments of the market and targeting advertising specifically at that segment. In practice, marketers do this all the time by selling their products based on what that product can do. Household products, such as laundry detergent, can be sold on the basis of its functionality and ability to make clothes cleaner. Other products try to feature their utility but attempt to frame that utility in a hip advertisement. Mobile phones are an example of this because they wrap the phone’s ability to connect people with trendy marketing that includes the use of fun apps and chatting services, both of which enhance the experience of using a phone. Studies in Consumer Behavior
Whereas consumer theory tries to put forth a relatively static theory of how consumers make purchase decisions, marketers and store designers understand that not all purchases are rational. There are all sorts of different influences that can drive a person to make a purchase, including the impact of marketing and store layout. Store Aesthetics and Consumer Purchases
The aesthetics of a store can influence consumer impulse-buying behavior. Marketing and advertising can drive consumers into a store, but once there, the store’s ambiance itself can affect whether a person makes a purchase. Researchers noted that store features that highlighted products were most likely to drive impulse buying.

So, when featuring merchandise, lighting is important because it highlights the product and makes it more likely a consumer will make a purchase on impulse. There are also cases where the store layout and design are linked to consumer purchases. Consumers who have self-improvement goals, mainly those looking to better themselves, are more likely to buy products from a well-designed store. Appealing interior design can have a strong positive effect on this segment of the market and influence whether they make a purchase. The research into consumer behavior suggests that store layout should include appealing aesthetic elements that serve to highlight various products.

The research into consumer behavior suggests that store layout should include appealing aesthetic elements that serve to highlight various products. One of the most prominent examples of store layout impacting consumer behavior occurs in the grocery store. Grocery stores are designed to take advantage of research into store layout, and store designers put the most expensive products at eye level for the average consumer. Lower-cost products are placed in harder-to-see areas. Because grocery stores can be confusing to navigate, people tend to pass by the most expensive items several times. This makes it more likely that they will give up on finding specific items and instead purchase the most easily seen – and higher-priced – products.

Too Many Bosses
Content: This distance makes it difficult for company leaders to model and instill shared values that bring together workers. Having too many managers also makes it difficult for each manager to consistently reinforce company philosophies and values with staff. In addition, employees may feel helpless to offer any ideas or feedback of their own. Decision-Making Filters
Communication of decisions and changes is often more difficult when it most flow through multiple management levels. In a centralized company where most decisions come from headquarters, it can take a while for information to be shared throughout all management and employee ranks. In a more decentralized company where frontline managers make decisions for their business or unit, there is greater potential for inconsistency. Too Many Bosses
A common issue among workers is feeling as though they have too many people to whom they report. This can lead to frustration, especially when managers at different levels deliver different messages. Top managers, for instance, may convey certain philosophies or policies to regional, district and business unit managers, who then present them to employees. A frontline employee is compromised if his direct manager suggests that he does something differently than a higher-ranking manager expects.

Working Capital Management
Content: Cash Flows
Effective cash management is just as important during a seasonal surge as it is when demand falls. A business can minimize the effect of seasonality with a year-round cash management policy that forecasts annual cash requirements and sets upper and lower limits for the amount of cash the business must keep on hand. If cash on hand exceeds the maximum limit, the business can invest the excess in easily accessible cash equivalent investments. Short-term financing is an option if despite effective forecasting and inventory and accounts receivable controls, minimum cash requirements fall during a dip in demand. Working Capital Management
If a business fails to manage or manages its working capital ineffectively, it may become less profitable and in a worst case scenario may eventually fail. An effective working capital management plan is a combination of inventory, accounts receivable and cash management components that work together to ensure the business can meet its working capital requirements. Accurate inventory forecasting and exploring options such as just-in-time delivery can ensure the business has enough inventories on hand without draining working capital. Accounts receivable controls can encourage customers to fund working capital with timely payments and good cash management policies can reduce the need for short-term working capital financing.

Working Capital Management
Content: An effective working capital management plan is a combination of inventory, accounts receivable and cash management components that work together to ensure the business can meet its working capital requirements. Accurate inventory forecasting and exploring options such as just-in-time delivery can ensure the business has enough inventories on hand without draining working capital. Accounts receivable controls can encourage customers to fund working capital with timely payments and good cash management policies can reduce the need for short-term working capital financing.

Content: practically, psychologically, physically and financially. Practical Effects
In using electronics for practical tasks, the convenience they offer makes them almost integral to our lives. Whether working with appliances in our kitchens, the machines in our offices, the computers in our homes and vehicles or smartphones on the go, electronics pick up the daily workload of what would otherwise be manual tasks. Additionally, electronics such as GPS devices, mobile phones, computers, pagers, televisions and radios, connect us to one another both at home and around the world. Furthermore, electronics allow businesses to keep in touch at a faster pace, by connecting instantaneously via communications devices. But as much as electronics may they keep us connected, we also run the risk of being disconnected from our surroundings through their constant use. A GPS device might tell us the fastest way to get somewhere, but we'll spend more time paying attention to the unit than to the landscape on the way. Psychological Effects
When not used in a balanced way, electronics can work against us, no matter what age we begin using them. Research shows that children are more prone to have psychological problems with constant exposure to electronics such as televisions and computers. The PEACH project in 2010 noted that children who spent more than two hours per day in front of a computer or television had more emotional and psychological problems.
