I will pay for the following article Bailout of Cyprus. The work is to be 2 pages with three to five sources, with in-text citations and a reference page. Cyprus Bailout Presented to Cyprus Bailout Cyprus has currently joined the league of countries such as Greece, which are in deep debt turmoil and need a bailout to salvage their economies from recession. The problems behind Cyprus economic turmoil have stemmed from its banking sector, which is heavily reliant on Greek’s economy, but many analysts believe that Cyprus has been suffering for fiscal imbalances that needed urgent addressing (Telegraph, 2012). The two main banks in Cyprus suffered greatly from the Greek’s sovereign bond write down, which had major backing from the EU members Cyprus included. The two banks lost more than 2.3 billion Euros on Greek sovereign bond, which they asked the state to fill in their regulatory capital (Telegraph, 2012). In addition, Cyprus’ economy had been described as a “Casino economy.” In other words, the country has a banking sector much larger than the country’s gross domestic product. This has been said to be negligence in following the banking rules, making everyone else vulnerable to such economic crisis (Erlanger & Kanter, 2013). Another major problem according to Erlanger & Kanter that led to Cyprus economic crisis is the threat by Euro zone countries to confiscated significant part of the savings of Cypriot banks’ depositors. The result was that large depositors and ordinary savers in such banks were uncertain about their savings. The private sector was therefore more reluctant to steer more funding to financial institutions in trouble as in the case of Cyprus, which increased the need for the country to look for a bailout from the European Central Bank. Cyprus problems also emanated from the country’s wage bill which as analysts explain is the highest in the Eurozone, implying the country similar to Greece has a lavish life where their GDP is much less than their net expenditure.

Your assignment is to prepare and submit a paper on star of the sea as historiographic metafiction. The Great Famine in Ireland caused over 1 million deaths and emigration of a population of 2.5 million people, thus qualifying as one of the most disastrous famines known in the history of modern Europe. “The winter of 1846 to 1847 was unusually cold, and bad weather exacerbated the famine’s effects by making it dif?cult or impossible to work outdoors, the major form of government relief” (Encyclopedia of Labor History Worldwide, n.d., p. 136). Although the Irish potato famine caused irreparable loss to the helpless Irish labor, yet it contributed to the wage-labor force in many English-speaking countries around the world. Irish refugees affected by famine made part of the workforce in England, Australia, and America. Although the potato famine in Ireland was one of the worst of its kinds, yet the consequences could have been avoided with proper management of the country’s resources. Particularly, the UK’s food resources were more than sufficient to help relieve famine in Ireland. The Great Famine forms a typical milieu for the narratives that attempt to de-essentialize the perceptions of Irishness since the Great Famine was such a time in the history of Ireland which dispossessed the whole Irish nation through dispersion. Literature that defines the Irish nation as isolated agrarians tends to overlook the significance of ambiguity in the national identity. Introduction to Historiographic Metafiction The term “historiographic metafiction” was coined by Linda Hutcheon who is a literary theorist. Hutcheon has defined historiographic metafiction as novels that have gained a lot of popularity and attention and contain the traits of being extremely self-reflexive and claiming to the personages of historical significance. Historiographic metafiction is a type of postmodern novel that annuls the reflection of contemporary norms and beliefs upon the past and emphasizes upon the particularity of the event that has occurred in the past. Historiographic metafiction proposes a difference between facts and events which many historians share. Owing to the fact that the documents serve as the symbols of events that are transmuted by the historians into facts, the lesson that can be drawn from this is that the history once existed, though the human knowledge about the past is transmitted semiotically. Historiographic metafiction frequently refers to the fact with the help of paratextual conventions of historiography in order to carve as well as challenge the power of historical texts and sources (Hutcheon, 1988, p. 122-123). Historiographic metafiction heavily relies on numerous elements including historical reconceptualization, parody, and textual form of play, and is a strictly postmodern form of art. Novels and textual plays that can be included in the category of historiographic metafiction include but are not limited to In the Skin of a Lion by Michael Ondaatje, Midnight’s Childern by Salman Rushdie, and Star of the Sea by Joseph O’Connor, as each of these novels give accounts of historical events that have happened in different parts of the world. Star of the Sea as Historiographic Metafiction Star of the Sea by Joseph O’Connor is an Irish novel published in the year 2002.

You will prepare and submit a term paper on The Concept of Cloud Computing. Your paper should be a minimum of 4250 words in length. Such technology has already been adopted by big companies such as Microsoft, Google and New York Times. just but to name a few. This kind of change roughly depicts what has widely come to be known as ‘cloud computing’. Cloud computing is currently still at the initial stages of development. Yet there remains a great potential of cloud computing being widely adopted in the field of information technology in the coming years. Many questions could be asked of cloud computing: What does cloud computing mean? How did cloud computing originate and why is it called cloud computing? What does cloud computing bring? What is more about cloud computing? An even more crucial question is whether or not cloud computing should be widely adopted. This term paper attempts to answer these questions. It also goes the extra mile to explore the history, the global concern and the compliance of cloud computing, among other key areas of concerns of cloud computing. This would offer a basis for elaborations for the underlying issues.

Compose a 17500 words assignment on an investigation into the current success factors for small and medium enterprises in thailand. Needs to be plagiarism free! This is a business research study focusing on small and medium enterprises. This study is designed to further our understanding of what makes for a successful enterprise in the context of the various difficulties they face. It, therefore, fits in with other research that has also been conducted on SMEs, specifically on those in Thailand.

An SME is a ‘small to medium enterprise’. The exact size or number of employees that makes a company an SME differs between countries, but in general, it is considered as a company with no more than about 500 employees. There is also generally a lack of consistent cross-country data available on SMEs. The International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group, distinguishes between three types of companies that together constitute an SME (Fan, 2003). These are detailed in the table below along with the number of employees, total assets and total annual sales that define that type of company. The growth of SMEs depends on a host of factors, which may differ geographically as well as the nature of the economic environment. Their existence arises from historical determinants, and their sustained growth is dependent on the growth opportunities provided to them. Their success, however, is dependent on prevailing economic factors such as government support and conditions of low inflation.

During the previous century, Thailand transformed itself from being a traditional peasant economy to becoming one of the most successful countries in the region within a few decades (Numnak, 2006). The process was so remarkable that it is often called a ‘miracle’. Since then, however, Thailand has had a difficult ride, through a number of turbulent periods, in particular, the Tom Yum Kung disease in 1997, the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) crisis in 2003 and the tsunami in 2005.

Tom Yum Kung is actually the name of a well-known Thai soup, but here it refers to the economic crisis that occurred resulting from a jolt to the country’s reputation (Pumpaisanchai, 2004). The condition was caused by a combination of over-investment and fraudulent activities in the financial sector. It led to thousands of SMEs becoming bankrupt (Srivihok & Intrapairot, 2004) and over fifty financial institutions collapsed (Sookying, n.d.). SARS was a viral respiratory illness that spread worldwide in 2003 (CDC, 2005), in which Thailand was among the worst affected. It is a more dangerous form of pneumonia. A tsunami literally means ‘a destructive harbor wave’ in Japanese. It is a catastrophic ocean wave that results from an underwater earthquake, volcanic eruption or landslide. It can destroy entire coastal areas as it did in South Asia in 2005. It is important to examine these periods because they all impacted negatively on Thailand’s economy. As SMEs account for a significant proportion of this economy, they adversely affected the development and progress of Thai SMEs in the recent past.
