Brahman vs. brahmin-think: i can only be this b/c it has an i in it. They can t all be the greatest at the same time. >everything that we know in this world comes out of the purusha, same with the castes. The vedas are where we learn about this sacrifice. *-not just a theological idea b/c it had divine proof->has taken a long time: change in sacrifices and priest s role. The sacrifice takes on cosmic significance->feeding the purusha, providing the sacrifice. Brahmins-knowledge of these cosmic sacrifices, they have the knowledge to keep the world going and to feed the world knowledge. >without this knowledge one cannot participate in the world: he who does not participate in the world will not receive a good spiritual end->in shadow path of the brahmans. In the hindu world only the brahmins can get into heaven. What they do diff is reflect on the upanishads.

The Gift of the Magi

by O. Henry

1 - ONE dollar and eighty-seven cents. That was all. And sixty cents of it was in pennies. Pennies saved one and two at a time by bulldozing the grocer and the vegetable man and the butcher until one's cheeks burned with the silent imputation of parsimony that such close dealing implied. Three times Della counted it. One dollar and eighty-seven cents. And the next day would be Christmas.

2 - There was clearly nothing left to do but flop down on the shabby little couch and howl. So Della did it. Which instigates the moral reflection that life is made up of sobs, sniffles, and smiles, with sniffles predominating.

3 - While the mistress of the home is gradually subsiding from the first stage to the second, take a look at the home. A furnished flat at $8 per week. It did not exactly beggar description, but it certainly had that word on the look-out for the mendicancy squad.

Which passage from O. Henry's "The Gift of the Magi" best expressed his theme about the sacrifices one will make for love?

A. Section 10
B. Section 31
C. Section 27

Running a business is no easy task. Making a profit consistently is even harder. Does one want to be in a microeconomic structure that is perfect competition, monopolistic competition, oligopoly, or a monopoly? Does one want to sell widgets or provide service? How much capital will be needed to begin a business, how do you treat employees, what is ethical, and what is not? The above questions are just a few that need to be answered when running a business. Once certain questions are answered and an individual business becomes successful it is important to maintain a competitive advantage. Complacency is easy to fall prey to especially if the business has been good for a long duration. Employees get lazy, markets change, innovation improves, and markets demand change. If the business is not adept at continuing to improve on each of the items above then market share could get sacrificed. Two golden rules in life that also apply to business, treat others as you would like to be treated and live life in moderation. If a business is run with those two rules in mind it will not go wrong. Consistency is a key to success, taking advantage of the opportunity is important but so is running a business with integrity. If you can create a niche market and maintain the competitive advantage by not getting complacent the business will have continued success.

Fill in the blanks. In case you get stuck, Iâve provided a list of all the missing words in alphabetical order at the end of the question. According to David Ricardoâs model, the pattern of trade between nations is determined by the distribution of ______________________ advantage. Unlike the ______________________ advantages described by Smith, Ricardoâs explanation allows for trade between partners in which one nation has superior ______________________ in the manufacture of all goods. Thatâs because Ricardoâs principle rests on the economic concept of ______________________ (defined as the amount of good Y that must be sacrificed when the nation produces a unit of good X) which can never be concentrated in just one nation. The model is usually specified with barter-style trade, meaning that we use ______________________ rather than ______________________ prices for the tradable goods. The price of each good on international markets must be higher than ______________________ in the exporting countries and lower than ______________________ in the importing countries. Although all parties can benefit from trade, there is no reason to think that they benefit equally. The ______________________ are derived from the difference between the opportunity costs of production in each nation and then distributed between participating nations according to the market price. As the price of a nationâs ______________________ good rises, it receives a larger share of the gains from trade, and we say that its ______________________ are appreciating. However, nations that ______________________ this good will receive a smaller share of the benefits from trade.
