Many of those companies, instead of slow organic growth, choose a quicker way to expand their business – mergers and acquisitions. However, quicker not always

5 One way to motivate non-cognitivism about metaphor – though not one that either Davidson or Rorty themselves endorse – is to claim that sentences like (1) through (3) are so deviant if construed literally that they can’t enter into the sorts of rational inferences that are essential for meaning; like bumps and birdsongs, they can only cause reactions in their hearers.6 Another influential view of metaphor takes the opposite tack. Contextualists and Relevance Theorists like Dan Sperber and Deirdre

1998 precipitated the wave of consolidation. This development sent major oil companies scrambling to cut costs in order to remain profitable or minimize losses. The promise of merger synergies exerted a strong appeal, and the rush to unite was on. A number of major mergers took place, leading to the creation of the supermajor oil company. In 1999, British Petroleum acquired Amoco Corp., formerly Standard Oil of Indiana, in a deal worth about $62 billion. (Three decades earlier, in 1969, BP bought out

He was also sounding a warning about the threat the power poses—and the risk of being oblivious to that threat. “The electric technology is within the gates,” he wrote, “and we are numb, deaf, blind and mute about its encounter with the Gutenberg technology, on and through which the American way of life was formed.”2 McLuhan understood that whenever a new medium comes along, people naturally get caught up in the information—the “content”—it

This work seeks to be a contribution to that mobilisation. 2. The Rationale of the Thesis The rationale behind the choice of this topic is that very little effort has been made to change the mentality of dependence in which the Christian faithful were brought up in the Diocese of Bunia. Effective action towards the support of the Church

benefit from the recovery in capital flows to the same degree as middle-income countries, their recoveries in 2010 were supported by a modest pickup in remittances, tourism and commodity prices. Remittances are a very important source of income for a number of poorer developing economies, representing more than 20 percent of GDP in several (Figure 8). Overall, the dollar value of remittances to individuals living in developing countries rose an estimated 6 percent in 2010, after falling 5.4 percent in
