Field Notes I had just completed reading “Survival Treasure Chest: Today’s Pieces of Eight Make Sterling Investment” (Kogelschatz, 1983:38-39, 41) in Survive magazine. Gold and silver were important things to possess during moments of crisis, according to the article. No survivalist was going to live without a good supply. If this was the case, then no survivalist should go without a good amount. I reasoned that my hometown precious metal dealer, Mark Lewis, might be in contact with local area survivalists and, therefore, his shop was maybe a good point to do my research. I asked him for an appointment. As I came to realize later, I was right, and I was wrong, Mark was aware of survivalists, but not ones who store gold and silver. I armed myself with a notebook and several naïve questions (“how many survivalists would you say visit your shop in a normal week?” “Approximately what proportion is males? Female?” “What would you estimate the average age of survivalists to be?”). I was feeling a bit confident about my reception, so I decided to conceal…
International Trade policy Law Question One WWI could adopt the voluntary export restraint (VER) as a measure to protect its domestic market from AAA imports. Although GATT does not support it, this option often applies although it’s a threat to developing countries. Voluntary export restraint (VER) would be beneficial for WWI as AAA currently exports 35 units of Widgets to the U.S. market. The trade compares weakly with only five units of widgets shipped by WWI to Japore. Ideally, WWI may lose the market for widgets to Japore, but this represents only a small portion compared to the domestic market exploited by AAA. VER would be the best option for WWI to protect its local market from AAA exports. The company could opt to evoke the U.S. trade Act of 1974 that provides for the undertake a safeguard action on imports to the U.S. The firm must prevail upon the president to make such a judgement on the basis that import pf widgets from the Japore are hurting the local economy. The challenge with this decision is that WWWI still…

Explain and assess the relations between Greece and/or Rome with the Indian Ocean. Initially, there were few Greeks who traveled via the Erythraean Sea. In the Indian Ocean, the presence of Greeks became evident around 250 BC under the leadership of Ptolemy II. There existed an enmity between Ptolemy II and Antiochus. Following these developments, there was a great need for war elephants, which Ptolemy II captured from different African countries such as Sudan. Afterward, the captured elephants are transported to Egypt, where they were trained. The successors of Ptolemy II carried on with activities that he started, such as training of elephants. However, elephants were not used widely after a few years as they became inefficient. The Ptolemaic reign played some pivotal roles in enhancing trading activities as it had promoted sea trade. The trading activities gained momentum, and experienced tremendous growth after the route to India was identified by Eudoxus. Therefore, it facilitated trading activities between India and Greek. Other than trading routes, monsoon winds also assisted Greeks to prosper in sea trade. Around 60BC, there was significant…
