General Kornilovs Attempt to Seize Power in 1917

General Kornilovs Attempt to Seize Power in 1917 Why had General Kornilovs attempt to seize power in 1917 not been successful? The Prelude to Bolshevism: The Kornilov Rebellion[1] is the title of one of the books written by Alexander Fyodorovich Kerensky. From the title alone it shows Kornilovs view which are shared by many others that the Kornilov affair has accelerated the Bolshevik seizure of power[2]. The Kornilov affair officially started on 27th August / 09th September 1917, when the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Army, General Lavr Georgiyevich Kornilov, brought a troops to Petrograd although he had been dismissed by Alexander Kerensky, the head of the Provisional Government at the time[3]. The Kornilov Affair is regarded by many historians as one of the turning points in the rise of Bolshevik Party after a short slump after July Days and consequently towards the event in October 1917. After the Kornilov affair, the Bolshevik Party aligned with various members of society and gaining their supports in assisting to toppling the already crippled Provisional Government. Despite its importance, the affair (which also referred as a coup detat or a revolt) is historically unclear different interpretations but with no concrete evidences. The accounts contradicted with each other and this led to historical debates which were dominantly discussed the different arguments brought up by Abraham Ascher and Lenoid Strakhovsky. Ascher is highly critical on Kornilov, stating that he conspired to take the power as part of his ambitious plan; whereas Strakhovsky challenged this by arguing that Kerensky had staged this whole affair and betrayed Kornilovs goodwill to prevent Bolshevism from taking root.[4] Both have used Kornilovs dismissal by Kerensky as a justification for their action the former argues that by refusing to accept the dismissal it was a proof to Kerenskys suspicion[5]. The latter, on the other hand, sympathises Kornilovs assumption that Kerensky had been influenced by the Soviet and it was his duty to protect Russia.[6] Aside from these two, a so mewhat completely different from the previous two, where they are not the main actor: it stemmed out from a misunderstanding with the former Procurator of the Holy Synod, V.N. Lvovs involvement[7], Kornilov claimed that Kerensky through Lvov offered choices of who should be in power[8], whereas Lvov claimed that Kornilov ordered him to tell Kerensky his demand for military dictatorship[9]. Lvovs real involvement is still debated. The more balanced interpretation by Harvey Asher, suggests that Kornilov was convinced that the government supported his march after several people had visited him including Lvov. Moreover, Asher suggests that they conspired together to restore peoples trust towards the government, although Kerensky later pulled out.[10] These debates show partly the existing tension and division between the two actors which led to the failure of the coup. These tensions were an open opportunity for the Bolshevik Party could exploit especially when Kerensky appealed to the Petrograd Soviet to defend the capital. This led to the physical reason for this failure: the quick mass mobilisation by the Bolshevik Party. It could be regarded as a mistake made by Kerensky as the rearmament of the Bolshevik Military Organisation would led to his and the Provisional Government downfall later in October. His fear of being overthrown by Kornilov a person who he had been having quarrel with[11] and a right-wing[12] and his will to elevate Provisional Governments reputation[13] might have clouded his judgement. The lack of trust and doubt amongst each other Kerenskys failure to read the mood of the situation he was in and overestimating his and general disorganisation were also the reasons for the coups failure. Despite being favo ured as the victor[14], Kornilov lost and subsequently met his death when he participated in the Civil War against the Bolsheviks. The Kornilov Affair was triggered when Lvov came to Kerensky and demanded for the transfer of power to Kornilov. The whole narration is long, which partly has been mentioned previously, however, it shows the general mechanism in the government and their personalities. Miscommunication, distribution of power, lack of confidence and distrust with each other and different groups supporting different people for their own ambitions are all highlighted. First, the miscommunication. Just after hearing from Lvov that he was suited to be a military dictator, Kerensky quickly announced Kornilov for a military coup against the government for fear that he might be removed from the power[15]. Kornilov claimed to be acting on Kerenskys instruction; Kerensky painted Kornilov as a counter-revolutionary who wanted to a dictator. Although, there is some evidence stating that Kerensky regretted his dismissals and hesitate to brand Kornilov as a traitor. In fact, there was an attempt to try to negotiate with Kornilov, albeit he was under pressure. However, unknown to them, Nekrasov had dispatched the message and it was too late for them when they realised about this.[16] These misunderstandings and lack of cohesion certainly shows existing fractures in the Provisional Government which led to the downfall of both sides. Nekrasovs action, albeit there was an attempt to delay the declaration, removed any chance for reconciliation. Lack of further co mmunication, whether it was for confirmation or negotiation, were noticeable. For example, instead of asking Kornilov after Alekseev sent him the note, Krymov went directly to Kerensky and stopped the troop from advancing. There was also the telecommunication between Kerensky and Kornilov over Hughes Apparatus where the conversation appears to be vague and no direct confrontation.[17] Some historians believed that Kerensky was trying to remove Kornilov quietly.[18] Instead of working together and worked their differences, they were more focus on removing each other. This might have been due to their prior clash in regards to capital and corporal punishment in the army to name a few[19]. In regards to Lvov, it seems unlikely that Kerensky explicitly instructed Kornilov to march troops into Petrograd and given him the choices: where one of them was that Kornilov would be a dictator[20]. Although it seems to be benefited Kerensky, he was probably no more trusting of Kornilov than others. Bringing in Kornilovs army into Petrograd would risk of military counter-revolution. It is still unclear how Lvovs and Kornilovs claims differed from each other. As mentioned earlier, nearing the peak of the affair in the end of August, people were positive that Kornilovs troop would win: his generals, landowners[21], large officers union, the Cossacks and the increase in Stock Exchange.[22] Considering that majority of the High Command sympathised with Kornilov[23] and his previous meetings with different people giving supports, it is not surprising when Kornilov was confident that his march would be a successful coup. However, not all of these groups were supportive of his plan. Earlier on, there was already opposition against Kornilov. Moscow Military District, Colonel Verkhovsky, expressed his support towards the government and distanced himself from Kornilov. There was also wariness amongst people in Stavka where they saw little chance in his march into Petrograd.[24] Only some of the professional soldiers believed in this advance, but many were not dedicated in trying to assist Kornilov. Moreover, with the denunciation calling Kornilov as a traitor made by Kerensky had further convince them to distance themselves from the affair avoiding from being purged together with Kornilov if the affair had gone to different turn.[25] Kornilovs deliberate military plan collapsed. Between the 30th and 31st, the Third Cavalry Corps which was supposed to crush the soviets[26] did not arrive. Kerensky ordered General Alekseev to send a note to General Krymov that there was no Bolshevik uprising as predicted by Kornilov and consequently, he halted their advance into the capital. The generals of the troops General Krymov and Denikin were also cornered by their own troops and reluctantly had to surrender with the former shot himself[27]. Similarly, the troops also deserted after hearing that there was no uprising. The generals and Kornilov kept the soldiers in the dark in what they were actually fighting for only be told that they were there to fight against the Bolsheviks[28] which led to further decline in supports. The foundation of the coup was still not concrete and arguably the timing was a miss. Kornilov had failed to see the mood and the political situation at the time. The troops saw Kornilov as someone who reintroduced capital punishment death penalty and attempted to counter the revolution. Thus, after hearing that there were no Bolshevik uprisings and Kerenskys declaration of Kornilov as a traitor, mutinies soon broke out with some divisions pledged themselves to the cause of revolution the Bolsheviks. They helped other workers and prevented the remaining troops from marching and arrested anyone who was in favour of Kornilov.[29] These miscalculations and disorganised troops are highly dissimilar from the mass mobilisation by the Bolsheviks and the workers. Although, mass mobilisation against Kornilov by the Bolsheviks had been debated whether it was spontaneous or a completely organised deployment, this mobilisation had completely stumped Kornilovs effort. Kerensky appealed to Petrograd Soviet to stop Kornilov and defend the city (at the same time shows a weakness of the Provisional Government) led to the rearmament of Military Organisation which were both consisted of Bolsheviks and Mensheviks. Mass meetings were also conducted to discuss their plan against Kornilov in addition to a demand for the release of July Days Bolshevik prisoners. The demand was conceded and prisoners including Trotsky was free. These would be important later a couple month after. A committee was set up to defend the city, Committee for the Peoples Struggle against Counter Revolution[30]. This includes erecting fortifications around the city and barbed wires[31]. The Soviet was also involved in coordinating the distribution of weaponry and conducted searches a nd arrested anyone who was suspected to be counter-revolutionaries. Committees at province level were also created. This was to set up networks of communication between provinces[32]. Red Guards were created of mainly of left SR sympathisers and Bolsheviks and armed with many were trained by the [33]Military Organisations from a possible assault. These two organisations were overseen by Inter-District Conference of Petrograd Local Soviets. As shown, in comparison to the lacklustre that of Kornilovs military troops, the Soviets gradually created a working strings of groups. Moreover, agitators managed to infiltrate Kornilovs troops and persuaded them to desert the advance, coupled with Kerenskys declaration. They also cooperated with the telegraph and railway workers[34] which further disorganised Kornilovs effort. On the communication side, any suspicious telegraphs were supposed to be redirected whereas on the transportation side, they were instructed to make chaos. They destroyed railway tracks and sabotage communications. As results, the troops were moving on the wrong roads, arrived at wrong places, only some of the units got dispatched and many of the soldiers were separated from their commanders, and loss of communications with their units in short, confusion and disorder.[35] With these confusion, the movement had collapsed. The Red Guards managed to disable the coup without firing a single bullet and bloodshed; except for few murder of counter-revolutionaries[36]. Thus, shedding positive light onto the Bolshevik Party as the saviours and the p rotectors of the revolution. Consequently, this resulted in a large increase of support. Kornilov and other thirty army officers which were believed to conspire together, were incarcerated in the Bykhov Fortress. After the October event, Kornilov managed to escape and establish the Volunteer Army which later fought against the Bolsheviks during the Civil War; where he was killed. Although Kerensky did not contribute and directly involved, Kerensky still insisted of being a protector of Revolution.[37] Kornilov did not gain anything from this whole affair, more people supported the Left, he was removed and the Right was shaken.[38] The main problem with his advance was the miscommunication between everyone involved that was later could be exploited by their common enemy. The victor of this whole but short affair was the Bolsheviks. The party revived and strengthened amidst the political chaos and distrust. On the other hand, Kerensky lost the military support. Although there are officer corps refused to join Kornilovs mutiny, they abhorred Kerenskys attitude towards their generals and growing distrust towards officer corps amongst the common soldiers. Thus increasing division between these two groups.[39] The revolt had radicalised the masses. The Soviet Press began with their propaganda and due to their policy of being a fighter against Kornilov but no association with the Provisional Government, they became popular. Therefore, coupled with the increasing support and gaining control over the Petrograd Soviet, the Provisional Government was further weakened and in October/November 1917, the Bolshevik Party seized the power off from the Provisional Government as the champion for the Soviets.

Deutsche Brewery Question and Answer

1. What accounts for Deutsche Brauerei’s (DB) rapid growth in recent years? What strategic choices were made? The Ukraine account grow rapidly in the recent years. The strategic is just expanding, more focus on the sale/volume, not on how to turn the order to money. It can be understood that the local distributors need some policy support from DB, because they just start, still at the beginning of capitalization period. The current credit policy is applicable for the starting phase, but long term it needs to be adapted (e. g annual bounce on the pay on time accounts).Meanwhile because of fast expansion, more investments on the Assets in Ukraine is needed. The financial plan includes a 7 million euro investment in new plant and equipment for the Ukrainian operations in 2001, followed by a 6. 8 million euro investment in 2002 for a new Ukranian warehouse and distribution center. Which is reasonable, but need more detail plan/business case before make the decision. I would say, h alf of the amount should be financed by Ukraine team itself, if they are able to turn the account receivable to cash. 2.What is the credit policy for DB for distributors in the Ukraine? Why is it different from other sales? Is it appropriate (examine the business models in both instances). The credit policy for Ukranian distributors from 2 percent 10, net 40 to 2 percent 10, net 80 (clients could take a 2% discount if payment was made within 10 days of the invoice, otherwise payment was due in full within 80 days). The credit policy for Ukranian distributors differed because Ukrainian entrepreneurs, who are ambitious to grow but without support from the bank as in Germany.The credit policy for the Ukranian distributors is applicable, which can support the distributor to expand, buy new equipment, and required more time than usual to pay. Also is a good investment for DB to build up the relationship with the distributor and meanwhile invest for the futurn. But on the other hand, long payment turn cost bad cash flow. In Ex1, the account receivable increase a lot, which 3. Why does this profitable firm need increasing amounts of debt? If the company wants to expand, they need cash.It seems that DB is profitable, but because of the big account receivable, which cause actually cash tie-up. In order to still keep expanding, DB have to increasing amount of debt for investing. 4. Something about dividends: The quarterly dividend proposed is 698,000 euro, an amount equal to 25% of the projected 2001 dividends (2,793 k). However, this dividend increase is based on projected earnings, and several factors affect whether those earnings. Better to reserve a part of money till end of the year. . What should Greta do with respect to: the proposed raise for Pinchuk, the quarterly dividend and the financial plan for 2001? Regarding the credit policy for Ukranian distributors, Oleg argues that this process is profitable for the company. Actually, Ex1 in the base case shows accou nts receivables in the Ukraine increased 30% from 1999 to 2000, and is projected to increase for the next 2 years (50% then 30% based on the previous year). Having a large amount of money tied up in receivables is risky.My idea will be short the payment to 40 days, pay in 10 days will have even bigger discount 3-4%, meanwhile, if the account can pay all the bill on time (40 days), can get annul bounce (tbd). For the investment, I will be more careful, Although the data should the growth of sale and assent is not hand in hand. But because of the high debt/equity ratio, I will be more careful on the investment, avoid to have too high debt. We can try to work together with one or two local disctributors (e. g. Kiev, Odessa) to have JV project.About the dividends, I will maybe go for 60% of earning, which mean 15% of the projected annual dividends for the quarterly pay. Just in case, if the actual data is not as good as predicted data, we still have enough cash to run the business. 6. S ome observation of Ex4. Profitability: low return Leverage: high risk (high debt) Asset utilization: receiveables growth rate high longer payment. Difference between sale growth and asset growth. Sale Growth is much higher than assent growth, need to consider investment. Liquidity: short term financial commitment. Quick ratio is too high.

What Is Organizational Trust - 1530 Words

What is organizational trust? Many different definitions of trust are found in organizational behaviour literature but they all refer to similar, intangible characteristics of human behaviours. Three descriptions of trust are: †¢ The belief in the integrity, character, and ability of a leader. †¢ Reciprocal faith in one’s intentions and behaviours. †¢ A confidant reliance on the integrity, honesty, or justice of another. Integrity, character, ability, faith, reliability, honesty, and justice are strong words to live up to in the modern workplace. Yet, it is these high standards that create a culture of organizational trust. As Warren Bennis famously said â€Å"Trust is the lubrication that makes it possible for organizations to work.† Origins of Trust Why do people trust? Why should they trust? Where does trust come from? Some say human trust is instinctual and evolved from the willingness to share food in hunter-gatherer societies. Others argue that people trust out of fear of punishment for not doing what is expected of them; to achieve self interests; to demonstrate empathy, identification and friendship; or simply because they genuinely want to trust. Mayer, Davis, and Schoorman suggests that three major factors determine organizational trust: char-acteristics of the trusted, characteristics of the trustee, and the perceived risk. The propensity of the trusted and the elements of trustworthiness that the trustee possesses influence the current level of trust.

Storm Born Chapter Eleven Free Essays

Someone was screaming in the desert, and I didn’t realize it was me until Tim raced over and grabbed my shoulders. â€Å"Jesus! Eugenie, what’s wrong?† I broke from him, dropped to my knees, and threw up into a convenient shrub. That soon gave way to endless dry heaves, my body’s distress too strong to stop. We will write a custom essay sample on Storm Born Chapter Eleven or any similar topic only for you Order Now When I finally finished – it seemed like hours but was probably only a few minutes – I ran my hands over my face. It felt like I had shoved my head through a window, cutting my skin to shreds. Yet, when I pulled my hands back, there was no blood. Apparently convinced I was done bringing up everything in my stomach, Tim carefully handed me a bottle of water. I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand and then drank greedily. When I started to hand the bottle back, he shook his head. â€Å"Keep it. What happened?† â€Å"Transition shock,† came Volusian’s flat voice. â€Å"You came through the worlds too hard and too fast, mistress.† â€Å"You should be dead,† added Nandi. â€Å"Or at least segmented.† â€Å"Segmented?† asked Tim. I nodded and drank again. â€Å"If you’re not strong enough to make it work, only your spirit will get back here. The body stays in the Otherworld.† He stared. â€Å"Will that kill you?† â€Å"Worse.† â€Å"What’s worse than death?† asked a new voice. Or not so new. Wil. I’d forgotten about Wil. I leapt to my feet and spun toward him, gun drawn. Some part of me wondered if I even had bullets left. I’d changed the cartridge once in the Otherworld but couldn’t recall how many times I’d fired at Aeson’s men. Tim’s mouth dropped open. â€Å"Eugenie, put that away!† â€Å"You don’t know what he’s done. He’s a fucking backstabber.† Wil, sitting on the blanket he’d gone into trance on, froze, too afraid to move. But not too afraid to speak. â€Å"I had to. It was the only way to get Jasmine.† â€Å"Yeah, it worked pretty well, huh?† He sounded near tears. â€Å"I’d gone a year without any chance of getting her. Then that sprite cut me the deal. Said if I got you to go over, they’d give me Jasmine back. I’m sorry.† I didn’t move the gun. â€Å"I was your only chance to get her back. If you hadn’t led us into that trap, we’d be back here with her now.† He groaned, burying his face in his hands. â€Å"I didn’t know. I didn’t know. I just wanted her so badly.† He looked back up at me. â€Å"What happened? Why did she run away? Was she scared?† â€Å"Maybe. Or it could be that†¦what’s that called? Where people help their kidnappers? Stockholm syndrome?† â€Å"What, like Patty Hearst? No. Jasmine wouldn’t do that.† I wasn’t so sure. She was young and impressionable, and Aeson struck me as a very forceful figure. â€Å"He’s too pathetic to kill,† observed Finn after studying Wil for a moment. â€Å"No harm in doing it anyway,† said Volusian. â€Å"Kill him and enslave his soul.† Wil’s eyes widened farther. â€Å"Eugenie!† Tim stared at me like I was insane. â€Å"You aren’t seriously considering that.† Probably not. Sighing, I lowered the gun. â€Å"Get out of here, Wil. I don’t ever want to see you again.† He scrambled to his feet, face falling. â€Å"But Jasmine – â€Å" â€Å"You lost your chance. You blew it. Get in your car before I do something stupid.† Wil hesitated, his face pleading and upset. Then wordlessly he headed toward the trail that led out to a makeshift parking area. I watched him leave, bitter anger boiling up within me. In the distance, thunder rumbled. â€Å"Eugenie†¦Ã¢â‚¬  began Tim hesitantly. A slight wind ruffled his hair. â€Å"I don’t want to talk about it. Take me home.† We gathered up his things and walked in the direction Wil had gone. â€Å"Meet me back at my house,† I told the minions. They vanished. Tim had enough sense to leave me alone on the car ride back. I leaned my head against the window, liking the feel of the cool glass against my fevered cheek. So many things had happened tonight, I had no idea what to fixate on first. Jasmine? Wil’s betrayal? Aeson’s stupid accusation? Kiyo? Yes. Kiyo was probably the safest, which was saying something. My heart had leapt at seeing him again. It was stupid, considering the way he’d used me, but my emotions didn’t appear to realize that yet. Why? Why did he have this pull on me when I barely knew him? I didn’t believe in love at first sight. And what about the fox thing? I knew of no gentry who could do that, but I did know shape-shifters filled the Otherworld. I’d fought some before but never a fox. Seemed like a weird choice. Perhaps that explained why he hadn’t felt gentry. He was something else, not gentry but still Otherworldly. Not much of an improvement. I left Tim as soon as we got home, seeking out the solitude of my room. Well, as much solitude as I could get with the three spirits waiting for me. I threw myself onto the bed, leaning into the corner where the bed sat against the wall. Exhaustion ran through me, and I did and said nothing, staring into the darkness. Thunder rumbled again but seemed fainter now, like the storm had changed its mind. The spirits simply waited and watched me. â€Å"Tell me what just happened.† â€Å"Um, which part?† asked Finn after a minute. â€Å"Any of it. Tell me what Kiyo is. The fox.† â€Å"Oh.† Finn seemed relieved to have a question he could answer. â€Å"He’s a kitsune. Japanese fox spirit.† â€Å"Roland taught me hundreds of magical creatures. Never heard of a kitsune.† â€Å"You don’t find them around here much,† explained Finn. â€Å"And they’re not really dangerous.† â€Å"He looked dangerous enough to me.† â€Å"They carry animal traits into human form,† said Volusian. â€Å"Strength. Speed. A certain sense of aggression.† I thought about sex with Kiyo. Yeah. That had been pretty aggressive. I closed my eyes. â€Å"Why would he mark me and then follow me?† â€Å"I do not know.† It figured. â€Å"Anything else I should know about him? About them?† â€Å"They’re usually female. Men are rare. Perhaps his human blood affected that,† said Nandi in her emotionless voice. â€Å"Half-human? Oh. His mother was the kitsune,† I mused, recalling him talking about his parents. â€Å"Yeah,† agreed Finn. â€Å"The women are supposed to be pretty hot. Like sirens. Real seductive. Men can’t stay away from them.† â€Å"Like a drug,† added Volusian. I opened my eyes. â€Å"Could he do that too?† â€Å"Possibly.† Suddenly my obsession seemed less weird than twisted. Had he used some sort of sexual power to lure me in? Was that why I couldn’t stop thinking about him? â€Å"I guess half-human isn’t so bad,† I muttered, speaking out loud without meaning to. I hadn’t bedded a full-fledged Otherworldly creature. â€Å"Not bad at all,† agreed Finn happily. â€Å"He’s just like you.† â€Å"Stop it,† I snapped. â€Å"That whole thing†¦what Aeson said†¦it’s stupid. I don’t want to talk about it.† â€Å"And like so much, you ignore what you don’t want to hear. Being Storm King’s daughter is no small thing.† Volusian’s red eyes held my gaze. â€Å"Your bluntness is so endearing.† My stomach turned, but it was now or never. â€Å"All right. I’ll bite. Why does Aeson think that?† None of them had an answer right away. The impression I got from them was surprise more than ignorance. â€Å"Because you are, mistress,† said Nandi at last. â€Å"No, I’m not. I’m human.† Volusian crossed his arms over his chest. â€Å"You are half-human, mistress. And as I said, your prejudice blinds you from the truth.† â€Å"One gentry’s accusation isn’t the truth. Where are the facts?† â€Å"Facts? Very well. Here are facts. Who is your father?† â€Å"Roland.† â€Å"You know what I mean, mistress. Who is your blood father?† â€Å"I don’t know. It doesn’t matter. My mom always said he was a bastard not worth knowing.† Volusian stared at me expectantly. â€Å"That doesn’t prove anything.† â€Å"What about your powers? You are rapidly surpassing every other human shaman. You are equal in strength in both worlds. Do you think it’s coincidence that the most powerful shaman in remembered history grew up in Roland Markham’s household? He brought you there, taking you from Storm King.† â€Å"From where? Are you saying I was born in the Otherworld?† Volusian inclined his head. â€Å"Storm King abducted your mother and made her his mistress. She bore his child. You.† â€Å"You seemly awfully sure about this.† â€Å"I saw your mother when she lived in the Otherworld. I have seen her in this world. She’s the same woman.† â€Å"You’re lying.† â€Å"By the power that binds us, you know I am not.† He was right. He couldn’t lie to me – not so openly, at least. I knew that, and acknowledging that forced me to put my own world into a new perspective. It might explain why my mother hated the Otherworld so much. Why she and Roland had been adamant about instilling that hate in me, making sure I could never have any empathy with the gentry or anything else from that world. I swallowed and realized I was on the verge of tears. God. That would probably blow the show of strength I always tried to hold around these guys. We needed to get through this interview. â€Å"So, are you saying that’s why Roland eventually killed him? To protect me?† â€Å"Among other things. Storm King’s invasion was imminent. He had come to claim you. Roland Markham killed him, both saving you and halting Storm King’s plans.† â€Å"So Dorian was telling the – wait a minute. He knew! That bastard. He sat there and fed me that stuff about Storm King, knowing who I was!† â€Å"Everyone knows who you are, mistress,† said Nandi. â€Å"It’s pretty recent, though,† added Finn, seeing the look on my face. â€Å"Came out only a couple of weeks ago. The same time everyone learned your real name.† â€Å"How?† I glared at Volusian. He had known who I was this whole time. â€Å"Did you tell them?† â€Å"No.† â€Å"Then why didn’t you tell me before this? Why didn’t any of you tell me when this came out?† They stared. â€Å"Because you did not ask us,† replied Nandi. â€Å"Yes,† agreed Volusian. â€Å"Had you asked us, ‘Am I Storm King’s daughter?’ we would have gladly – â€Å" â€Å"Oh, shut up.† I rubbed my eyes. I wanted to sleep. I wanted to sleep forever and forget all this. But I had miles to go before I slept, just like in the Robert Frost poem. â€Å"If everyone thought Storm King was so great, then why are they all coming after me? Shouldn’t I be some kind of hero? Instead they want to kill me.† â€Å"Most aren’t trying to kill you, unfortunately. They’re trying to bed you, mistress.† â€Å"Why?† â€Å"Probably because of the prophecy,† said Nandi. â€Å"Prophecy,† I said dryly. â€Å"Wonderful. Now there’s a prophecy.† â€Å"Mistress,† she said hastily, â€Å"had you asked us if there was a prophecy – â€Å" â€Å"Yeah, yeah. I know. What’s this one say? That I’m a good lay?† Finn hesitated. â€Å"Well†¦it says Storm King’s vision will be carried out through his daughter’s first son. That the human world will be reconquered.† â€Å"You’re kidding.† Oh, God, I wanted to sleep. â€Å"When they found out you didn’t have kids yet, everyone – well, every guy – wanted to get in on the action. Being the one to father Storm King’s heir would be a pretty big deal.† â€Å"Likewise,† added Volusian, â€Å"the prophecy says Storm King’s daughter will clear the way for her son. Being your consort would carry great prestige.† â€Å"Hey, I’m not clearing the way for any invasion. Not that I believe in prophecies. Not that I believe in any of this! In fact, that prophecy proves how stupid this all is. I wouldn’t turn against my own kind.† I swear Volusian smiled. â€Å"Yes, but which people truly are your own kind? Your loyalties are now divided.† My anger flared. â€Å"No. Even if this is true and I am the daughter of the biggest gentry badass ever, I know where my loyalties are. I’m human. I act human. I have no gentry powers.† â€Å"As you say, mistress.† â€Å"Get out of here. All of you. None of this is true. I’ll talk to my parents and clear this up.† Volusian bowed. â€Å"A wise idea, mistress.† I said the words to send them away and then lay on my bed. The storm had quieted outside, but one of my own raged inside me. I wanted to shut down my feelings. I wanted to forget all of this, because it wasn’t true. It couldn’t be. I wanted to take one of the prescription sleeping pills, but I didn’t need Roland’s warnings to know how stupid that would be. If every gentry was suddenly hot to get me pregnant, I couldn’t let my guard down. I shouldn’t have been able to sleep. Not after fighting gentry and seeing a girl run back to them. Not after learning my one-night stand was a kitsune. Not after discovering that I could very well be something I hated. Something that made me question everything I’d ever believed in. No, I shouldn’t have been able to sleep at all, but my body knew better as tiredness flowed over me. My body knew I’d been up all night, that I’d fought and been injured. And most important, it knew my fight wasn’t over. Not by a long shot. How to cite Storm Born Chapter Eleven, Essay examples

Salmonella Essay Example For Students

Salmonella Essay DescriptionSalmonella is an intestinal infection caused by Salmonella enterica bacteria. You can become infected by eating foods contaminated with Salmonella or by touching infected pets. In rarer cases, Salmonella infection can also be carried in medical products that were derived from contaminated animals. Before a Salmonella infection can begin, somewhere between 100,000 and 100,000,000 Salmonella enterica bacteria must actually be swallowed. Salmonella bacteria invade the intestinal wall, where they trigger inflammation. They also produce irritating intestinal poisons. In some rare cases, Salmonella bacteria may enter the bloodstream and settle in tissues and organs far away from the intestines. This spread of Salmonella infection is most common in infants, in the elderly, and in patients whose immune defenses are weakened. SymptomsAfter someone has eaten food contaminated with Salmonella bacteria, it usually takes 8 to 48 hours for symptoms to begin. Symptoms of Salmonella include fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and muscle aches. PreventionYou can prevent Salmonella by thoroughly cooking all meats, ground beef, poultry and eggs, and by promptly refrigerating all leftovers. Whenever silverware has touched raw meat, wash these items thoroughly with soap and water. Also, avoid eating eggs that are raw or partially cooked. Frequent hand washing is particularly important, especially after using the rest room. TreatmentDoctors do not usually prescribe antibiotics, since patients typically recover on their own in a few days. Since many strains of Salmonella are resistant to one or more antibiotics, a patient may be treated initially with one antibiotic, then switched to a second antibiotic if it doesnt work. PrognosisMost patients with Salmonella recover within 5 to 10 days; however, they may continue to pass Salmonella bacteria in their stool for up to 2 months. ConclusionSalmonella can be a fatal disease, but in most cases it is lived through. The main two things to do to prevent getting Salmonella is to cook all food thoroughly before eating, and to wash your hands frequently. BibliographySalmonella. Encarta. 1994www.discoveryhealth.com.
