.... expensive and people didn't have the money to afford it. However, today veterinary medicine is very known and common. More people are buying pets and are willing to pay for their care. College is a major part of becoming a vet. The average veterinary student has to take six to eight years of college. The first thing to do is to decide if veterinary medicine is the right path for you. In the senior year of college during the basic 4 years, an aspiring vet will apply to a 4-year veterinary program. The first two years of the vet program consist of general science classes at college levels (Career: Veterinary). The last two years of vet .....

.... giants also recognize that opportunities for growth in many of the mature markets have slowed. Both Coca- Cola, which sold 10 billion cases of soft-drinks in 1992, and Pepsi now find themselves asking, "Where will sales of the next 10 billion cases come from?" The answer lies in the developing world, where income levels and appetites for Western products are at an all time high. Often, the company that gets into a foreign market first usually dominates that country's market. Coke patriarch Robert Woodruff realized this 50 years ago and unleashed a brilliant ploy to make Coke the early bird in many of the major foreign markets. At th .....

.... gained recently against the USD but the move has been modest, retrieving less than half of the decline from $US0.82 in December 1996. A number of forecasts have been published suggesting that further A$ appreciation is in prospect for the year ahead. While it is commonly accepted that "the trend is your friend", all the fundamentals must be taken into account in the longer term. The fundamentals currently being overlooked (which we feel will come to matter) are (1) the outlook for commodity prices; (2) the extent of the Asian recession, (3) the path of the current account deficit deterioration and (4) the prospects for interest rates. Despi .....

.... is on the rise. "The Columbia University's Center for International Business Cycle Research said that its leading inflation index rose for the fourth straight month in October to 109.0 from a downwardly revised 108.7 in September." With the rise of material costs it is a clear indicator of inflation. Inflation is clearly measured by the price index such as those numbers stated above. Price Index clearly measures the general level of prices in any year relative to prices in a base period. There are different types of inflation one is Demand Pull Inflation; meaning "changes in the price level are attributed to an excess of total spending .....

.... to prevent any more wars between the European countries. There are fifteen countries participating in the European Union which are Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. The European Union brought together a market of 370 million consumers, which share common institutions and policies. The European Union made Europe one of the world's trading powers. The European Union has also created a single market that took effect in 1993, and established a free trading environment between these countries, so there are no longer tariffs .....

.... all-time high as well as the population in our prison system. The United States has nineteen preceding nations that have lower infant mortality rates. Among the twenty most developed countries in the world, the United States has the highest divorce rate and the highest teen pregnancy rate. The most incredulous fact of all is that the Pentagon continues to absorb twenty percent of the federal budget-over a third of which is spent protecting Europe against an enemy that no longer exists. In fact, that is the most probable source of America's problems: the budget. Forty-seven percent of the national federal budget is spent for a military expen .....

.... can keep up with such large companies. It is really a pretty simple concept. Five people are going to be more productive than one person is. He uses a metaphor in the article about how one bee is a nuisance, but a swarm is deadly. With the ideas of a whole team rather than one individual, there are almost no limitations as to what they may accomplish. He believes working together in a collaborative manner is going to be the way of the future companies of the world. As with everything in life there are always drawbacks to a good thing. Granted that team management does sound like a great idea, there are many obstacles along the way tha .....

.... access to over a million web sites twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Since the Internet can be accessed by millions of people all time, it would be a great incentive for such a business like Amazon to do business over the Internet.

Well, through Internet access, that person can easily locate the Amazon web site and browse through the information needed. .....

.... tariffs from all three countries and allowing trade goods to flow to all of the treaty members without restriction as long as the goods met the standards as outlined in the treaty. Another goal was to improve working conditions in North America. It was proposed that by increasing trade and a set of standards that working conditions would improve through increased wages and newer safer facilities. Creating an expanded and safe market for exports/imports and services was also a goal and is ongoing even today as more goods and services flow across the borders. Trade rules that were beneficial to all treaty members were established .....

.... increase in unemployment rate within the past few years. In Baden-Württemberg for example, the area where I am from, the unemployment rate has gone up from about 4% in 1992 to around 9% nowadays. Most likely Mr. Chirac's and Mr. Kohl's only solution concerning the unemployment is a fully integrated economy which for sure would create new jobs in Europe. The German population, however, is scared that a United Europe would create new jobs only in low wage countries like e.g. Portugal. Many think that a European market with no barriers would would even cause “job hollowing out� of Germany. Moreover the German population likes .....
