AIRLINE DEREGULATION/TREATY'S?? (10 POINTS!)?

Hello,

I am a student an am enrolled in the IB or International Baccalaureate Program. For this program I need to write a 4000 word Extended Essay to successfully pass the course.

I decided to write mine on the aviation industry; deregulation to be specific. I am going to aim to write an essay on one major treaty/airline act within Europe or the US In the last 10 years and subsequently explain how it has spurred economic growth within the sector. (passenger numbers, emergence of new airlines, financial stability socio economic effects...)

I need to know some major treaty's or acts which have been passed recently in Europe or the US which are spurring substantial economic effects. This way I can chose one for my essay!

I appreciate any and all help =)

Is this a good IB History IA question: "To what extent did television/media turn the American public against involvement in Vietnam? + If it is, could someone help me find some sources for an argument that no, it didn't turn them against it?

Walter Cronkite was a catalyst that helped start the anti war movement! His reporting was completely negative and completely ignorant of facts and what actually happened during the TET Offensive and how the Americans completely destroyed the Vietnam Cong, along with the cowards,Communists,,college and university professors , the war was lost!!!

Does participation in the International Baccalaureate (IB) program increase rates of suicide in teens?

Hi, I'm an IB Senior. I currently take IB Chemistry HL, IB Physics SL, IB Econ SL, IB History of the Americas HL, IB TOK 2, IB English HL, and IB Chinese SL. I was just released from the psych unit due to a serious suicide attempt. This was because of the IB Program. It is too far in the semester for me to be removed from the program entirely, and it would be dumb for me to be removed my second semester. Even with being in the hospital and my teachers knowing why some of them(particularly my IB Chemistry teacher) are merciless. Tomorrow after school I have to make up and Acid and Base HL test, and a Redox HL test. The next day I have to take a Medicine and Drugs HL test in class, and after school and HL cumulative midterm on everything we've covered, including from last year.Last night I spent 6 hours writing a lab report for her. I also had to do a reflective statement for English, over 70 problems for physics, my TOK paper, my TOK midterm, my Econ midterm, 6 Chinese packets(all I know is ni hao >.>), a History midterm, and a history WW1 test. This is beyond ridiculous and i apologies for the long response, but THIS IS OUT OF CONTROL. I have slept in over 36 hours, I'm exhausted, and I feel like I'm never caught up on anything.

Character comparison between Rowling's Dumbledore and Tolkien's Gandalf.?

Frosty Foster: it's obvious you haven't read the Lord of the Rings if you honestly believe that Dumbledore could ever defeat Gandalf. Gandalf is a Maiar, meaning he's divine. I doubt Dumbledore, could ever beat an immortal being like Gandalf that has been around since the beginning of time.

I'm a Harry Potter fan as well, but The Lord of the Rings will always reign supreme in the world of fantasy literature. If you're going to do a quality essay, you should really pump up your research by reading "the Silmarillion" as well as "Unfinished Tales."

1) Gandalf never "acquired" Shadowfax. Shadowfax allowed Gandalf to ride him. Shadowfax is of the mearas, who only allow the Kings of Rohan and their sons to ride them, so it's of great significance that Shadowfax would allow Gandalf to do so when he wouldn't allow Theoden.

2) Once you've finished reading the Lord of the Rings I'm sure you can add a ton more on how important Gandalf was in orchestrating much of what happened in the War of the Ring

3. It's difficult to say how old Gandalf is since he is an immortal divine being and has been around since before the creation of Arda..., but since the point that he took mortal form and sailed to Middle-Earth and the end of the War of the Ring: he's been around for over 2,000 years.

4. Don't really understand what you're trying to argue with Dumbledore's "resurrection" and "is real, while being fake..."? I suppose you could argue that Dumbledore's spirit lives on through the portraits, Hogwarts, and through Harry, who was in a way resurrected, though he never truly died. There's really not much comparison here since, as I've stated before, Gandalf is a divine being who is fully capable of returning to Middle-Earth after the death of his mortal body, while Dumbledore is nothing but a man. A powerful man, but just a mortal man who cannot truly be resurrected from death.

This could be an interesting paper, though it's not something that hasn't been done a thousand times before. Just try not to make it into a dumbledore vs gandalf paper. Honestly, I think it would have been much more interesting if you researched the mythical and historical influences behind the stories that Tolkien created, thought that would take much more than 3 to 4,000 words to accomplish. A comparison of Siegfried/Sigurd and Turin Turambar would have made a great essay.

Im 16 and pregnant, what should i do?

Yes, i may be young. But everyone isnt perfect. I know i am dumb , but i am willing to accept this responsibility. Im so excited for this , i want to give my baby all the love and affection ive never got. My mom was 14 when she had me, i thank god for her and my dad deciding to keep me. I wouldnt be where i am now. Abortion is the last thing i will ever give to my first. Im not dumb, i am a sophomore already taking college courses and aiming for my International baccalaureate diploma and i have been with my boyfriend for 3 years. So save the trash talking. I knew exactly what i was doing. When i first told my boyfriend , he was so happy. And now hes just scared and he wants but doesnt want me to get an abortion. I also want to be finacinally ready. But i will do whatever, i will get a job , save up and buy my baby everything. I will still continue going to school. What would you do in this position?
