As we have seen, for example, Sylvan had split its business activity into two main business segments, Sylvan Learning Center and Sylvan Education Solutions, both operating on specific sub-markets, both on the K-12 customer segment. For the postsecondary customer segment, again there are two different business levels, Sylvan International Universities and Sylvan English Language Instructions. So, as we can see, diversification seems to be a key strategy in this phase, mainly because the education industry has different customer segments, generally depending on the customers' age, but also on their locations or abilities.

The diversification strategy that the company has been using so far is quite adequate at present, mainly because of the increased fragmentation of the market that we have referred to, but also because this trend is expected to continue in the future as well. The problem with such a strategy is that the businesses Sylvan has acquired were not only very costly, but also with high operating and fixed costs. As such, it may be advisable if not to reduce some of the business segments in which the company is operating, at least to watch them closer in order to avoid losses.

The rag pickers are standing in a sea of fabric, most likely discarded by manufacturer's shipping from an impoverished to an industrialized country.

Botticelli's Birth Of Venus And Duccio's Maesta The representation of women in Western art has changed throughout history, and for much of Western history this representation was oriented around the dominant female figure in contemporary society; that is, Mary, mother of Jesus. However, the gradual shift away from a dominantly monotheistic cultural hegemony seen in the Renaissance and eventually the Enlightenment brought with it new (and the case of this study,

The fly is a gruesome image because flies gather around decaying corpses. However, while this image is startling, it is still shocking that the poet is not more in shock of dying, of being dead, or witnessing just a fly upon her death. The poem consists of four stanzas, which include slant rhymes on the second and fourth lines. The lines alternate between six and eight syllables. Dashes in the
