Art and Science
Реферат, 06 Июня 2013
Management is both art and science. It is the art of making people more effective than they would have been without you. The science is in how you do that. There are four basic pillars: plan, organize, direct, and monitor.
Make Them More Effective
Four workers can make 6 units in an eight-hour shift without a manager. If I hire you to manage them and they still make 6 units a day, what is the benefit to my business of having hired you? On the other hand, if they now make 8 units per day, you, the manager, have value.
Money and income
Реферат, 02 Апреля 2013
The very concept of black money has undergone a great change. In 1950s and early 60s evasion of income tax by big industrialists and businessmen was considered the source of black money. This evasion has been renamed as tax planning. It has resulted in saving a good amount as white money.
Origins and history
Реферат, 25 Апреля 2013
The term “ecology,” which has its root in the Greek word oikos (household or living place), came into use in the latter part of the nineteenth century in the works of zoologists and botanists to describe the study of the ways in which organisms live in their environments. Soon two branches of ecology were distinguished: autecology, the study of the individual organism’s interaction with environment, and synecology, the study of the correlations between the organisms engaged with a given unit of environment. The latter study has prevailed, however, and has become the principal connotation of ecology, since it became evident in numerous field studies that organisms, whether plant or animal, establish viable relationships with environment, not independently but collectively, through the mechanism of a system of relationships

Crime and Punishment
Реферат, 15 Марта 2013
Crime and Punishment
If we look into history we shall find that laws, which are, or ought to be, conventions between men in a state of freedom, have been, for the most part the work of the passions of a few, or the consequences of a fortuitous or temporary necessity. Observe that by justice I understand nothing more than that bond which is necessary to keep the interest of individuals united, without which men would return to their original state of barbarity. All punishments which exceed the necessity of preserving this bond are in their nature unjust.
Offers and enquiries
Курсовая работа, 10 Мая 2014
A simple enquiry can be made by e-mail, fax or cable. The contents of an enquiry will depend on three things: how well you know the supplier, whether the supplier is based in your country or abroad, and the type of goods or services you are enquiring about.
At the beginning of the enquiry you should tell your potential supplier what sort of organization you are and how you have learnt about the company you are contacting. It might be useful to point out that you know their associates, or that they were recommended to you by a consulate or trade association.
Euphemisms and taboos
Реферат, 13 Января 2014
Taboos and euphemisms have always been of great interest as they act as one of the important factors influencing the process of enriching and enlarging word-stock and speech itself. The system of ethnographic taboo including language taboo originally developed on the basis of religious beliefs. However, taboo words are not just the words which are not widely-used because of certain religious beliefs, these are the words which appeared due to some social reasons like politeness, delicacy and eagerness to keep preserve appearances. Taboo words in linguistic meaning are the words which are banned because of mythological beliefs, superstitions, prejudice and to avoid rude or curse words and phrases. As for euphemisms they are the results of language taboos. A euphemism is a generally innocuous word or phrase that replaces an offensive one.
Takeovers and mergers
Сочинение, 04 Марта 2013
When starting a business, or running it for a long time, you should expect that the structure of the company won’t be the same forever.
There are a lot of tendencies, ways of its development & there is such a phenomena as takeovers & mergers.
When a company wants to introduce new products & services there are two options for it do it.
Large companies have the choice of innovating – developing new products, services or market themselves – or of buying another, smaller company with successful products.

Location and Geography

Customs and traditions
Реферат, 05 Декабря 2013
English customs and traditions, first of all, concerns United Kingdom political system. In Great Britain there is no written constitution, only customs, traditions and precedents.
Englishmen have traditions not only in political, but in social life. For example, London, the capital of England, is traditionally divided into three parts: the West End, the East end, and the City. The City is a historical, financial and business center of London. The East End is the district inhabited by the workers, and the West End is a fashionable shopping and entertaining center. English people like to spend their free time in numerous pubs where they can have a glass of beer and talk about different things with their friends.

Television affects children’s lives. There are many facts to support this opinion. In the following paragraphs I will prove that TV affects children and their behavior. Also I will talk about things related to this topic.

Before allowing your children to watch television one must take into consideration what influences TV will have on them and what are the consequences of viewing television.
Children and Television
Реферат, 25 Сентября 2013
I would like to say that television is one of the most amazing telecommunicating systems. They greatly influence on the thinking style, lifestyle, and physiological changes of a person and so on. And also television is a part of everyday life.
There is no doubt that television has both a negative and positive influence on children.
It`s turning out to be a disastrous influence.Television is opening up all of society`s secrets and taboos, thus erasing the dividing line between childhood and adulthood.
Internet and modern life
Статья, 28 Декабря 2012
The Internet has already entered our ordinary life. Everybody knows that the Internet is a global computer network, which embraces hundred of millions of users all over the world and helps us to communicate with each other.
The history of Internet began in the United States in 1969. It was a military experiment, designed to help to survive during a nuclear war, when everything around might be polluted by radiation and it would be dangerous to get out for any living being to get some information to anywhere. Information sent over the Internet takes the shortest and safest path available from one computer to another. Because of this, any two computers on the net will be able to stay in touch with each other as long as there is a single route between them. This technology was called packet switching.

Sociology and the Internet
Доклад, 27 Сентября 2013
The internet has created a new and interesting concept of sociology and how applied sociology can be used which wasn’t quite perceptible to begin with. When the internet was first conceived it was seen as more of a tool for research and learning. And it has been just that, greatly so for the field of sociology.
However, as advancements were made with internet technology and more people began using it the landscape changed. No longer is the internet just a creation for calculations, it is also a place for mass communication. It is a place for people to gather, to find like-minded and not so like-minded people that they can interact with. Eventually the groups that formed began to be organized into the internet communities that they are today.
Must may and might compared
Курсовая работа, 12 Апреля 2012
Most teachers are probably familiar with a list of modals similar to the one offered in Headway Intermediate: can, could, may, might, will, would, shall, should, and ought. Teachers would also probably agree with the explanation given by Headway, namely that these verbs are auxiliaries because “they ‘help’ another verb” (Soars and Soars, 1996: 146). For good measure, Headway tells students that “each modal has at least two meanings” (ibid.: 147).

Story time and discourse time
Реферат, 18 Февраля 2014
Time analysis is concerned with the order of the events that occur in a story and with the proportioning of story time and discourse time. An anachrony is a deviation from strict chronology in a story. The two main types of anachrony are flashbacks and flashforwards. A flashback is the presentation of events that have occurred before the beginning of the main events narrated in the story. A flash-forward is the presentation of a future event before its proper time. An objective flashforward presents an event that will actually occur; whereas a subjective flashforward is just a character's vision of a likely future event. Repetitive anachronies (both flashforwards and flashbacks) recall already narrated events; completive anachronies present events that are omitted in the primary story. External anachronies present events that take place before the beginning or after the end of the primary story; while anachronies that fall within the range of the primary story are internal anachronies. The time it takes an average reader to read a passage, or, more generally, the whole text is defined as discourse time. The fictional time taken up by the events in the text is called story time If it takes you less time to read the text (30 minutes) than for the events in it to happen (a week), the durational aspect of this text will be identified as speed-up presentation.

American customs amd traditions
Доклад, 10 Декабря 2013
How often has each of us seen something happen while with another person and much to our disappointment we each come away from the event with a different recollection? The cumulative effect of our life experiences creates in each of us a lens through which we observe what goes on around us. This lens focuses our attention on particular aspects of what we see. Society passes principles and values to future generations through Customs, Traditions and Rituals that mold this lens through which we view our lives and shape our opinions. Throughout history, cultures have passed their Family Values to future generations by these means.
Aral Sea—What Was and What Is
Реферат, 02 Декабря 2013
Since the very beginning of its existence, the human being has been developing. It has never stopped, and it never will. During the last couple of centuries it has been developing very aggressively, and it has reached tremendous achievements in all fields. Unfortunately mankind has achieved tremendous success in polluting its environment also. Nowadays, nature is missing many of its inhabitants: – those who are supposed to be under the protection of humans as young brothers and sisters. Pollution was the reason for their extinction. Finally, the humanity started paying more attention to what surrounds it. It started thinking about the future, its future generations, and the inheritance to these generations.

English customs and traditions
Реферат, 28 Мая 2015
No discussion on the English way of life, or indeed anything to do with England, is possible without taking into consideration such important aspects of the English character as their faithfulness to traditions, or as some people prefer to call this trait, conservatism.
We can start with a well known fact that in English cars the steering wheel is on the right and they drive on the left. So when you rent a car in England do not forget to take out good insurance.

Moscow works less and sleeps more
Творческая работа, 18 Марта 2013
Moscow: Russia’s biggest, busiest and most over-stressed city. Right?
Well, surprisingly, perhaps not. While the anthem insists that Moscow never sleeps, the Federal Statistics Service has published figures challenging that popular claim.
A pilot study into how people use their time – or have it used for them – found that the capital works less and sleeps more than the national average.
Globalization and The Nation-State
Лекция, 22 Апреля 2013
It is not difficult to predict how each of the main theoretical perspectives would answer the above questions. Globalists argue that globalization has undermined the sovereignty of nation-states due to the growing number of powerful supranational/supraterritorial forces as well as global problems (like the climate change, MNCs, terrorism, international non-governmental organizations, new communication technologies like Internet). Sceptics would argue that nation-state is still important and we still live in an international system rather than a truly global one where nation-state is expected to be diminished.

Political discourse and transalation
Дипломная работа, 23 Ноября 2013
Political speech, as a subset of late Modern English, is an interesting entity. Many of its linguistic features attempt to mimic those of conversational, scholarly or formal English, but the defining differences ultimately stem from the fact that it is all carefully crafted to persuade or even manipulate its intended audience.
British slang and its classification
Реферат, 13 Апреля 2013
The understanding of the native speakers' language is the international problem for our people. Our secondary schools teach the students only the bases of the English language. Our universities do not prepare them to the British streets, accommodations, pubs where people use their own language, the language that differs from that of their parents. They use other words- they use slang. None of the most advanced and flexible ways of teaching English of any country can catch modern quickly developing English.

Pattern of rhythm and rhyme in poetry
Реферат, 11 Ноября 2013
Meter is a reccuring pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables in lines of a set length in poetry. Metre, although often equated with rhythm, is perhaps more accurately described as one method of organizing a poem’s rhythm. Unlike rhythm, metre is not a requisite of poetry; it is, rather, an abstract organization of elements of stress, duration, or number of syllables per line into a specific formal pattern. The interaction of a given metrical pattern with any other aspect of sound in a poem produces a tension, or counterpoint, that creates the rhythm of metrically based poetry
General Notes on Styles and Stylistics
Реферат, 12 Мая 2013
The subject of stylistics has so far not been definitely outlined. This is due to a number of reasons.
First of all there is a confusion between the terms style and stylistics. The first concept is so broad that it is hardly possible to regard it as a term. We speak of style in architecture, literature, behaviour, linguistics, dress and other fields of human activity
Even in linguistics the word style is used so widely that it needs interpretation. The majority of linguists who deal with the subject of style agree that the term applies to the following fields of investigation.:
1) the aesthetic function of language;
2) expressive means in language;
3) synonymous ways of rendering one and the same idea;
How to present with passion and energy
Курсовая работа, 24 Ноября 2012
How to present with passion and energy.
A. “Jennifer, I am expecting you to come back with the order. Really, we need this sale to hit our numbers for the quota. Remember everything that we talked about.” Does this sound familiar? We’ve all been there, the requirement to give presentations or present proposals has been an essential part of the selling process for a long time. Many salespeople get anxious and are just happy to get through the presentation without the use of 40 “ums” and sweat dripping off their brow. Is it really that bad? There are some very simple yet effective techniques that can be used to make you feel better prepared thus increasing your presentation’s power. Here are some common guidelines to use prior to giving your presentation. Define your purpose. Typically, for sales staff your purpose is to communicate the value of your product or service to the client, thus wanting them to purchase. Keep in mind that you want to keep your presentation relevant, simple and to the point. It is also essential that you are able to answer the who, what, where and why questions for the audience, if you are able to do this your purpose is defined.

Patriarch's Ponds. The first of them--aged about forty, dressed in a greyish
summer suit--was short, dark-haired, well-fed and bald. He carried his
decorous pork-pie hat by the brim and his neatly shaven face was embellished
by black hornrimmed spectacles of preternatural dimensions. The other, a

Geography and environment of Great Britain
Курсовая работа, 04 Декабря 2013
It is rather difficult to understand the British way of ruling the country. The foundations of the modern monarchy were laid more than a millennium ago, in Anglo-Saxon and Celtic Britain, so its modern form is a stage in an evolution that has been shaped by attitudes toward divorce, the changing role of women, the democratization of society, dynastic intermarriage, financial demands, religious convictions, struggles for economic and political power, and territorial aggrandizement.
Everywhere you go in Britain, you find evidence of this long history. When you visit a stately home, the guide will tell you that ‘Queen Elizabeth slept here’. If you travel around the country, you’ll see the castles that monarchs built as strongholds and the sites of battles where kings fought for power. And you’ll find towns and villages with royal names like King’s Norton, Charlton Kings, and, of all things, Queen Camel.

Economics: The Study Of Scarcity And Choice
Реферат, 17 Сентября 2013
One of the things that young people discover as they grow older is that you can't have everything. You are reminded of it every time you shop. Although you may see twenty or thirty items that you would really like to buy, you know that you will have to limit your selection to one or two. Everyone goes through life having to make choices.
Every business, even sports teams, must pick and choose from among the things they would like to have because, like you and me, they cannot have everything.
Governments, too, cannot have everything. Every year the most important political debates concern questions about spending taxpayers' money.
