Abstract
This export plan details the requisite steps that need to be undertaken in order to facilitate the export from Brazil of Brazilian Arabica coffee under the brand Brazilia Arabica and the importation of this product into the United States (US) market. The US market is the largest coffee consuming market in the world measured per capita although these figures have declined from previous highs. The plan further discusses how the US remains such a huge and profitable coffee consuming market since companies such as Starbucks, Seattle's Best, McDonalds, and Dunkin Donuts pushing overall sales of coffee to more than $10 billion. It is estimated that the US market contains more than 100 million consumers of coffee in one form or another.

Abstract
This paper examines Searle's original argument against the possibility of strong Artificial Intelligence, or what he calls intrinsically intelligent AI. This argument was presented in "Minds, Brains, and Programs" which contains his original formulation of the Chinese Room example and many others. This paper explains Searle's original view (which has been slightly modified in recent years) against the possibility of strong AI. It then examines the serious shortcomings in his argument, namely his flagrant assumption that intelligence is a bio-chemical property, something that he barely mentions in his text. Holfstadter later called this view "bio-chauvinist." The writer examines what it is Searle is trying to say, where his bio-chauvinism comes into play, and what the end result is.
From the Paper
"In his paper "Minds, Brains, and Programs," John R. Searle attempts to establish the impossibility of strong artificial intelligence (AI), that an "appropriately programmed computer" can have genuine mental states. The validity of strong AI implies a direct correspondence between mental states and formal processes, and as such, insists that a properly defined program is sufficient for producing understanding and intentionality in the thing instantiating that program. Searle refutes this claim, arguing that a program could not be sufficient for producing intentionality because for any program it is possible to instantiate it in something without producing mental states in the thing. In elucidating this central point, Searle derives a distinction between "intrinsic" intentionality and "derived" intentionality. He defines intrinsic intentionality as the sort present in things that clearly have mental states, such as people. Searle distinguishes this from derived intentionality, which he claims is ascribed by those with intrinsic intentionality to things that "perform the sort of functions that we perform on the basis of our intentionality," but that do not actually possess mental states or a genuine intentionality. With this distinction, Searle's claim that programs are not sufficient, or even necessary, for producing intentionality becomes a claim that mere things - namely computers for our purposes - can only have derived intentionality and never can possess intrinsic intentionality. Searle's argument, pushed by his example of the Chinese room, at first seems to raise an alarming challenge to AI proponents, but on closer examination it becomes clear that the thrust of Searle's claim relies on some highly debatable intuitions and assumptions he makes a priori. In this paper I will argue that Searle's conclusion is entirely dependent these contestable assumptions and intuitions. I will then attempt to construct what Searle's response to this objection would likely be, and I will conclude by discussing the significance of this debate with regards to AI and all of cognitive science."

From the Paper
"Hong Kong?s people are predominately of Chinese origin, strongly influenced by Western business systems and customs. About 38 per cent of the population possess a reasonable level of English and most senior business people and officials speak English (Austrade, 2003). Almost 99 per cent of Hong Kong's fruit requirements are imported. Hong Kong is also the transit port for re-exports into mainland China, Macau and other neighbouring markets in Asia (Austrade, 2003). The food retailing and catering sector has been changing noticeably in recent years as a result of the changing lifestyle of the local population. Consumers are being more health conscious about what they eat. Supermarkets, fast food stores and theme restaurants continue to grow and have become an integral part of the shopping and dining out habits of the local population (US Department of Agriculture, 2002). The Chinese people's lifestyles and eating habits have changed over the last few years, which have resulted in a booming fast-fast food industry. And now that Hong Kong consumers have tasted French fries in restaurants and fast food chains, they want to enjoy them at home (American Farm Bureau Federation, 2002)."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the multitude of issues related to exporting pesticides to Mexico from the U.S.. It considers the economic, social and political conditions in Mexico such as its economic stability, transportation considerations, cultural issues, including language, affinity for American products and the political environment, including relations between Mexico and the United States. It also evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of exporting pesticides to Mexico and discusses the problems that may be expected to be encountered as well as risks.
From the Paper
"There are various strengths and weaknesses associated with exporting pesticides to Mexico. First, exporting pesticides to Mexico would provide the United States with an additional source of income as well as strengthen the long-standing economic link between Mexico and the United States. Next, exporting pesticides to Mexico would allow companies to reap profits from pesticides that are formulated in the United States yet have no use to United States agricultural needs. Third, exporting pesticides to Mexico will save United States companies money in terms of costs, enabling such companies to pass the savings on to consumers."

A Book Review on the Self-Help Book, "The Art of Possibility", 2002.
This is a review of a book commissioned by the Harvard School of Business called "The Art of Possibility."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper reviews the book "The Art of Possibility," by Benjamin Zander, conductor of the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra and Rosamund Stone, an artist and family therapist. The reviewer divides the book into two sections: Part one (chapters 1-5) explores the possibilities of the ?invented? world; and part two explores different practices for transforming one?s attitudes and approaches to problems that arise in business and personal relationships. The reviewer points out that the book is different from other self-help books in that it uses numerous examples of music education and playing to illustrate the major points.
From the Paper
"The book?s greatest strength comes from Zander?s examples drawn from his passion for musical conducting, which highlight his creative and optimistic persona. His personality nearly leaps off the page, matching the candid photo on the jacket, which depicts him leaning against Stone, laughing heartily. However, the cult of personality is also the book?s flaw: one can implement Zander?s practices, but cannot graft his exuberance onto one?s own persona. Many of his examples rely on his interaction with others, and as he says in the chapter ?Lighting the Spark?, ??certain things in life are better done in person.? (123). Overall, Art works best as a beginner?s guide for those who seek to shift a few paradigms in life, and need inspiration for a new vision."

"South Korea is one of the strongest economic forces in Southeast Asia, and presents good opportunities for companies who want to export high-tech products. The country is largely homogeneous in its population, but it has had volatile economic and political histories. South Korea is committed to building a strong infrastructure that favors global economies, but the stability of South Korea may be in question. South Korea is progressing nicely down the path of industrialization than neighbors such as Thailand (as evidenced by the percentage of its population working in agriculture, although Thailand is making strides in this area).
Exporting a computer program to South Korea at this time is a wise business decision because computers, and personal computers in particular..."

Abstract
The purpose of this research paper is to determine whether or not women participating in traditionally male-oriented sports are likely to experience the same respect from both the media and the general public as women participating in other events. Specifically this study examines whether women have the potential to be treated equally when participating in male-oriented sports and whether they are as likely to succeed in men in the same venues. The researcher determines the extent to which women are portrayed as athletes in the news media. The paper explores the following questions: (1) Do women have the same opportunities as men in traditionally male-oriented sports, (2) Are women perceived in the same manner as men when participating in these sports and (3) Do these portrayals influence women's participation in sports. A comprehensive literature review is conducted to discuss these ideas further.

From the Paper
"Wiley, Shaw & Havitz (1999) suggest that women are more likely than men to emphasize pleasure and enjoyment with regard to sports, whereas men are more likely to focus on the competitive aspects of a sport. However women also face higher levels of constraints, thus are only willing to participate when they remain highly motivated. Self expression is also discussed as an important aspect of sports participation, and the authors suggest that women participating in male dominated sports might have an increased sense of self and need to express themselves in an outward and competitive manner than other people (Wiley, Shaw & Havitz, 1999). This pattern was found in men and women alike."

Conceptual Possibility according to Descartes, 2001.

Abstract
This paper examines Descartes dualist thesis that mind and body are different things and his "Conceivability Argument" in his Meditations on First Philosophy. The conceivability argument uses one's ability to conceive of a mind without a body as a proof that mind and body are necessarily different things. The writer provides an objection to this argument from the point of view of an Identity Theorist, who believes that mind and body are in fact the exact same thing. The objection takes the meaning-reference distinction approach that states that mind and body essentially refer to the same thing but mean different things.
From the Paper
"One of the central pieces of Descartes' dualist thesis is his conceivability argument, which attempts to establish that mind and body are necessarily different types of things. As it provides grounds for substantiating that mind and body are distinct, this argument also serves as the backbone of a prominent objection to the claims proposed by the simple identity theory. The identity theory makes the claim that all types of mental states and experiences are equivalent to types of brain states or other physical states. This clearly conflicts directly with the dualist's view of an independently existing mind that is responsible for the realization of mental states and experiences regardless of the existence of any corresponding physical entity to go with them. As such, the dualist must have significant objections to the identity theory. One such challenge to the identity theory is well summed by a single claim: "I can imagine myself turned to stone, and yet having images, aches, pains and so on." In this paper I will first demonstrate how an objection to the identity theory centered on this claim can be constructed. I will demonstrate how this objection is quite similar in nature to Descartes' conceivability argument, which will necessitate a brief explanation of Descartes' argument. I will then offer a response from the identity theorist to this objection, which will rely on the relationship between "concept" and "meaning" and the distinction between meaning and reference. In presenting this reply, I will show that this response to the dualist's objection also works against Descartes' conceivability argument."
