Jackie Sze Finance 4610 Professor Wang November 8, 2015 Walgreen’s Acquisition of Rite-Aid One of the biggest acquisition of the year is the mega-merger between Walgreens and Rite-Aid. In this event, Walgreens acquired Rite-Aid for $17.2 billion split between $9.4 billion in equity ($9 a share representing a 48% premium of the market price) and the rest in debt. This acquisition will not only make Walgreens the largest pharmaceutical chain in the country but will also raise issues with antitrust

Pina Bausch’s classic Café Müller and The Rite of Spring seem to come from completely different worlds. The movement style, narratives, and musical scores are completely contrasting in the pieces. However, there is one similarity between the two — the way Pina intelligently uses the music to inform her movement. In both works she utilizes both stillness/silence and repetition to create power and drama to match the music. As I watched a tall woman, stumble blindly across a crowded stage in silence

Van Gennep's "Rites of Passage", Durkheim and Turner's Theory of Communitas I. Classify using Van Gennep's categories and point out aspects which would be of particular interest to Turner and to Chapple and Coons.      The Mescalero girls' puberty ceremony is an example of a "Rite of Passage," a ceremony that marks the transition of an individual from one stage of life to another (Chapple and Coons, p. 484).

old-fashioned ideas and customs, whereas the 20th Century is seen as the ‘modern era’. So where in between these two extremes can historians label a turning point as the end of one era, and the start of another? Modris Eksteins offers his view in Rites of Spring, where he uses the Russian ballet of the same name as a metaphor for the changing society during the World War I era. Eksteins views Germany as being the most modern nation in Europe, despite the outcome of the war, and sees its characteristics

“The Medicine Bag” and “Apache Girl Rite of Passage” both show a way of coming of age or receiving something when coming of age. In the “Medicine Bag” a boy named Martin receives a medicine bag from his grandpa. In an “Apache Girls rite of passage” a 13 years old named has through Dachina a ritual that lasts thirteen hours. This ritual is a transition into her womanhood. To begin with, these two are similar in many ways. The first reason is that both of these have very strong emotion. For example

the second years. In this study, inspired by my observations as a participant in the ritual and the following conversations I had with students, I will explore the social function of the “Howling Ritual” using anthropologist Van Gennep’s theory on rites of passage. RESEARCH TECHNIQUES I decided to use qualitative methods to obtain data for my investigation, since I thought they would allow me more depth and detail. My research techniques were participant observation and interviewing. My participant

In the world of literature and poetry, it’s typically not hard to find something written about a hero, or something heroic, like an epic. Epics are long poems, typically told orally in ancient times, about the adventures of a hero or heroine and their deeds. The Iliad should immediately come to the mind of any student proficient in western literature. Nonetheless, the themes and archetypes of these works known as epics are so well-known, that they are even parodied, take completely out of context

most common rites of the Mass are the Tridentine rite and the Novus Ordo rite. The Tridentine rite was used before Vatican II and is now, mostly, replaced by the Novus Ordo rite.

One of the most distinct differences is that the Tridentine rite is said in the language of the Church, that being Latin, while the Novus Ordo rite is said in any native language of that area. Another obvious difference is that, in the Tridentine rite, the priest
