Abstract The writer demonstrates how the D.H. Lawrence, in his work "The Horse-Dealer's Daughter", created stark visual effects which propel the story along and convey the sadness that results from the Horse Dealer's fall into debt. The paper focuses on the characters of Joe and Mabel and highlights how there is no joy or sense of finality in any of Lawrence's characters.
From the Paper "There is a directness to this story and the people in it. One does not have to re-read and wonder "what do they mean by that?" or "what is that a symbolism for?" In a sense, the author has created visual effects which propel the story along. Somewhat like a movie or a TV show, we can "see" the surroundings and get a good idea of who the characters are, what they look like and how they talk to one another. Lawrence describes Joe's first words as being said with "foolish flippancy" (Lawrence 1). But, we get a far better image when "he turned aside, worked a grain of tobacco on the tip of his tongue, and spat it out" (1). We have been told, by Lawrence, that we are in the country and not among so-called "gentlefolk. Lords and Ladies do not spit."
Abstract The short story by D. H. Lawrence entitled, "The Horse Dealer's Daughter" talks about the sudden love that both Mabel Pervin and Dr. Jack Fergusson had experienced when he accidentally saved Mabel from the suicide. Aside from the theme of love, one of the main issues discussed in relation to the theme of love is the importance of both protagonists? (Mabel and Jack) role in their small community and how the roles that they have affects their own conception of real love.
From the Paper "Mabel Pervin is illustrated in the story as a very quiet and reserved woman, talking and saying nothing to her brothers at the start of the story. It is evident that there is no bond between the brothers and their sister Mabel, who, after several attempts from her brothers? part to talk to her, remain motionless and uncommunicative, answering their questions with curt replies, sometimes, not even answering at all. The unfavorable relationship between the brothers and Mabel is reflected through Henry's (Mabel's brother) description of Mabel to Jack: ?The sulkiest bitch that ever trod!? Mabel Pervin's character is justified after the incident with her brothers. As the story progresses, we learn that she had no close women acquaintances except for her sister who had died already, and was left alone to the care of her brothers and father. "
Abstract This paper reviews the short story, "The Horse Dealer's Daughter," written by D. H. Lawrence. The paper explores how Lawrence uses death to bring about a life-changing experience in the story. The paper explains that what appears to be a desperate situation in Mabel's life turns out to be a moment of epiphany between her and Fergusson when they both realize that they have stumbled upon love inadvertently. The paper discusses the fact that it took life teetering on the edge to force them out of their routines to see each other in a different way.
From the Paper "Death proves to be something that leads to regeneration in D. H. Lawrence's short story, "The Horse Dealer's Daughter." Mabel's attempted suicide and Fergusson's attempt to save her bring them together in a way that neither could have guessed. Mabel feels dead physically and lives in a dead world while Fergusson is spiritually dead. Lawrence emphasizes the importance of this death experience by including a pond as a symbol of rebirth for both characters. They are creatures that experience an epiphany as a result of entering into the cold, dark pond and emerging not dead, but more alive than before alive."
Abstract The paper presents an analysis of the characters' approach to life in D.H. Lawrence's short story, "The Horse Dealer's Daughter." The paper explains what the various main characters symbolize and also discusses the action of the story.
From the Paper "The setting for "The Horse Dealer's Daughter" is physically stark, the rural landscape of England at a particularly cold and clammy time of year and in circumstances that are far from ideal. Yet in that environment, the action of the story shows that a good life can be found by rejecting the calculated approach to relationships and by living according to instinctual responses. Mabel and Jack symbolize the passivity of conscious experience and the dominance of the emotional and instinctual approach to life."
Abstract The paper examines D.H. Lawrence's short story "The Horse Dealer's Daughter" and how animals and nature are used to communicate a deeper meaning in the story. The paper focuses on Lawrence's description of characters as animals where the author praises the animalistic while chiding the human, thus suggesting that human characteristics are foolish and fickle.
From the Paper "Though ecocriticism is a rather new theory of literary criticism, critics have quickly begun to apply the theory to the modernists' work From William Faulkner to Ernest Hemingway to John Steinbeck, twentieth century writers have used nature to make comparisons with humanity and human life. In some cases, like Steinbeck's use of animals and water throughout East of Eden and The Winter of Our Discontent, the natural references serve as symbols. In other works, like Faulkner's As I Lay Dying and Light in August, the nature references cause the reader to compare and contrast an animal existence with a human existence. In much the same way, D.H. Lawrence uses nature throughout his works in order to make a commentary about human life. That the rather controversial author used such literary technique is not hard to imagine, given that the he was enormously concerned with matters of the human psyche, especially instinct, emotion, and human sexuality."

This paper discusses that quality management for both the upstream and downstream elements in the value chain can help Goodyear get the desired benefits by using new IT systems.
Abstract This paper explains that Goodyear has been moving slowing to a pull system of inventory replenishment with its various dealers; in order to support this move, there is a need for setting up a robust and dependable Information Technology (IT) infrastructure. The author points out that a long-term advantage of its new ordering system is that the company dealers, the independent tire dealers who carried Goodyear brands, and affiliated dealers can connect directly to Goodyear's database and state their inventory requests. The paper identifies that Goodyear uses the services of Global Supplier Quality Assurance (GSQA) to manage the quality of the raw materials provided to the company by their upstream supplier end of the value chain.
From the Paper "Goodyear has been exploring a number of options to improve their customer service. One of the most important factors is to ensure that the company's franchised dealers and private dealers who carry Goodyear's product lines are always stocked with the desired level of inventory. The company does not want to lose sales as a result of under stocking the product, while at the same time carrying excess inventory can lock up valuable capital. Information transfer and access are important for both the dealers and the company."

The Worldcom Scandal
From the Paper "In contrast to the AMEX market, the NASDAQ employs an electronic listing of competing dealer quotes in which each dealer continually posts firm bids and ask quotes on an electronic screen. [2] There is no central limit order book on NASDAQ, although limit orders may be left with individual broker-dealers. However limit orders on NASDAQ do not drive the posted quotes since dealers are not required to consider limit orders in setting their quotes. Also, the effect of dealer competition is reduced by rules allowing directed order flow to less competitive dealers who agree to meet the best quotes. NASDAQ dealers can not rely on the limit orders of other investors and must post firm bid and ask quotes for minimum 1000 shares. Since NASDAQ dealers have monetary incentive to revise their quotes immediately following public announcements, even in the absence of trades."
Abstract The paper relates that vocational stereotypes exist, where society may expect all members of vocational categories to conform to anecdotal expectations instead of reacting to them as individuals. The paper focuses on the stereotypes surrounding police officers, lawyers, telemarketers and used-car dealers. The paper asserts that every individual should be viewed with the proverbial "blank slate," regardless of his membership in any class associated with common stereotypes.
From the Paper "Stereotyping is the foundation of behavioral expectations about people and occurs most typically in relation to perceived categories of individuals, such as race, gender, nationality, religion, and any other group (Macionis 2003) wherein a particular person is expected to behave in a specific way based exclusively on membership in a class of persons. Generally, stereotypes are usually inaccurate, often negative, and always dangerous. That is not to say that no stereotypes have any basis in fact at all, because in many cases they might; the issue is simply that even the most accurate stereotypical expectations reflect an unjust assumption about individuals."

Abstract The paper begins with a general discussion of the gambling industry, including legalization, revenue statistics and government regulation. Then the necessity of friendly and courteous dealers in casinos is explored, including positive representation of the casino to the public, and encouraging the spending of money and future return to the casino.
From the Paper "Gambling has been legal in Nevada since 1931. For the year 2001, total gaming revenue in the State of Nevada totaled $9,468,598,681. In addition, "The gaming industry's total contribution to federal, state, and local taxes is estimated to be $2.2 billion a year. These contributions mean Nevadans don"t pay, among others: state personal income tax, state corporate income tax (measured by net income), state sales tax on food, state inheritance tax, and state gift tax? (Berkley).
Gaming in Nevada is highly regulated by the State Gaming Control Board and in many aspects by the Federal Government. "All establishments where gaming is conducted and where gambling devices are operated, and manufacturers, sellers and distributors of certain gambling devices and equipment must therefore be licensed, controlled and assisted to protect the public health, safety, morals, good order and general welfare of the inhabitants of the state, to foster the stability and success of gaming and to preserve the competitive economy and policies of free competition of the State of Nevada" (Gaming Control)."
A discussion of the portrayal of the role and image of women in the American society in the stories "The Horse Dealer's Daughter" by D. H. Lawrence and "A & P" by John Updike.

Abstract This paper provides a compare and contrast analysis of "The Horse Dealer's Daughter" by D. H. Lawrence and "A & P" by John Updike. It examines how both stories give a different perspective of how the women are treated by various characters in the story and in effect, by society itself. It shows how the women in both stories are similar because of the conflicts within themselves that they experience due to the pressure and expectations of society whereas they differ in the way they are treated by others, particularly by male characters and the way society treats them. It provides a character assessment of the main protagonists in each story and discusses how they deal with the criticisms placed upon them by the other characters and by society.
From the Paper "One of the first factors that make both short stories different is that they are written in a different time period. "The Horse Dealer"s? is set in the year 1922, while "A & P" is set in the year 1962. The difference is time periods affects the way women are treated in the society, since society in 1922 is more conservative than the society in the year 1962 wherein society is more tolerant of liberal ways and ideas, most especially to women. While Mabel is treated unfavorably by other people because of her somewhat reclusive nature, preferring moments of solitary in the churchyard than mingle with other people, and because of her family's descent to poverty, Mabel's society is condemning on her, even stabbing behind her back about her "newly- acquired poverty" (?? although as a matter of fact she was exposed to the stare of everyone who passed along the churchyard wall."
Abstract This paper discusses the background, problems of illegal drugs trafficking and the methods being used to stop the trafficking of drugs in the United States. This paper reveals that money seized in drug stings and received from fines for drug offenders is a billion dollar industry for the American government. The author believes that completely ending the entire drug trafficking business is almost impossible because there are too many loopholes and too much money at stake for both the dealers and the government.
From the Paper "The largest distributor of drugs, especially cocaine, comes from Columbia. Interagency intelligence assessment statistics say that nearly sixty-five percent of all cocaine goes through the southern borders of the United States. Columbian dealers send the drugs through Mexico, whose laws are not nearly as strict, and the dealers in Mexico bring them across the border. They come through Texas and New Mexico by ground and California by ground, air and seaports."
This paper discusses and analyzes the short story "The Horse Dealer's Daughter," by D.H. Lawrence; specifically, how understanding the characters helps us understand the problematic ending of the story.
Abstract The paper states that D.H. Lawrence's characterizations make the reader understand and even sympathize with the characters. The author feels that the characters are disturbing; and yet they are real with real problems and real neuroses. The paper concludes that Lawrence's could be the people next door and that is what makes the story understandable.
From the Paper "Lawrence creates unusual and yet somehow endearing characters and makes the reader care about them, and what happens to them. "The Horse Dealer's Daughter" is no exception. Mabel Pervin is the heroine of this novel, but she is a desperately unhappy woman, ashamed of her poverty, and sick to death of caring for her rather oafish brothers. Her only joy is taking care of her mother's grave, where she feels "secure," even though others can watch her as she works. "
Abstract This paper explains the weaknesses of the American judicial system where drug addicts and dealers are trialed and punished but within a matter of weeks are out on the street again, often being rearrested before their parole is up. The writer looks at the new system which has been instituted in order to avoid this occurance - namely "drug courts". It explains what this system is - a unique court system for drug related crimes - and how, through this system, the courts hope to put an end to the vicious cycle of arrrests and convictions, with no purpose.
From the Paper "For the past several decades, drug use has had an overwhelming effect upon the American justice system, with drug and drug-related crime being the most common offense in almost every community (Drug Strategies, 1996). Beyond the troubling ability of these problems to fill prisons to capacity, the traditional judicial system seemed to have no deterrent effect on these crimes (Drug and Crime Facts, 1994). A disturbing "revolving door" pattern had emerged, with drug offenders moving through the system in a predictable pattern of arrest, prosecution, conviction, incarceration, and release. In a few weeks, sometimes only a few days, the same person was back in the system again, arrested for drug possession or a drug-related crime (National Association of Drug Court Professionals [NADCP], 1997). A particularly difficult problem faced by the system was the growing use of crack cocaine in the 1980s (Miller & Gold, 1994). The legislature passed tougher laws imposing longer sentences, such as the Comprehensive Crime Control Act of 1984 and the Anti-Drug Abuse Acts of 1986 and 1988, and the nation struggled to find a solution for its drug and crime problem ("The Effective National Drug Control Strategy," 1999)."
