A monopoly exists when a specific person or enterprise is the only supplier of a particular commodity (this contrasts with a monopsony which relates to a single entity's control of a market to purchase a good or service, and with oligopoly which consists of a few sellers dominating a market). Monopolies are thus characterized by a lack of economic competition to produce the good or service, a lack of viable substitute goods, and the possibility of a high monopoly price well above the seller's marginal cost that leads to a high monopoly profit. The verb monopolise or monopolize refers to the process by which a company gains the ability to raise prices or exclude competitors. In economics, a monopoly is a single seller. In law, a monopoly is a business entity that has significant market power, that is, the power to charge overly high prices. Although monopolies may be big businesses, size is not a characteristic of a monopoly. A small business may still have the power to raise prices in a small industry (or market).
What do you do with a drunken sailor, What do you do with a drunken sailor, What do you do with a drunken sailor, Earl-eye in the morning!
[Chorus:]
Way hay and up she rises Way hay and up she rises Way hay and up she rises Earl-eye in the morning
Shave his belly with a rusty razor, Shave his belly with a rusty razor, Shave his belly with a rusty razor, Earl-eye in the morning!
[Chorus]
Put him in the hold with the Captain's daughter, Put him in the hold with the Captain's daughter, Put him in the hold with the Captain's daughter, Earl-eye in the morning!
[Chorus]
What do you do with a drunken sailor, What do you do with a drunken sailor, What do you do with a drunken sailor, Earl-eye in the morning!
[Chorus]
Put him the back of the paddy wagon, Put him the back of the paddy wagon, Put him the back of the paddy wagon, Earl-eye in the morning!
[Chorus]
Throw him in the lock-up 'til he's sober, Throw him in the lock-up 'til he's sober, Throw him in the lock-up 'til he's sober, Earl-eye in the morning!
[Chorus]
What do you do with a drunken sailor, What do you do with a drunken sailor, What do you do with a drunken sailor, Earl-eye in the morning!
[Chorus]
What do you do with a drunken sailor, What do you do with a drunken sailor, What do you do with a drunken sailor, Earl-eye in the morning!
The tests that test your patrilineal (Y-DNA) and matrilineal or mother-line ancestry (mtDNA) haplogroups are the only ones that are non-speculative versus an autosomal test, in which a marketer throws spaghetti against the wall.
Haplogroup R-M269 Migration
Origin: R-M269 is the most common haplogroup in western Europe, where its branches are clustered in various national populations, including in the Basque, in Ireland, and on the fringes of the North Sea.
Highlight: R-M269 is found in more than 50% of men in western Europe.
Example Populations: Irish, Basques, British, French
Haplogroup M7 Migration
Origin: Haplogroup M7 is most abundant among people who are descended from the pre-agricultural inhabitants of the Japanese islands – especially the Ainu, who live on the northern island of Hokkaido, and the Ryukuans, who live on Okinawa and neighboring islands.
Highlight: Haplogroup M7 appears to have been common among Japan's earliest inhabitants.

How United used to treat paying paying passengers.

Boy have times changed.Not only do they make you buy food, give you smaller seats, now you can be assaulted, bloodied, and knocked out for not wanting to give up a seat that you paid for.

Amazon's ambitions to upend the grocery market appear to be getting larger. Just two days after the online retailer said it is testing free grocery pickup that could eventually be rolled out to paying Prime members, Bloomberg reports it is working to convince major brands they'd be better off selling their goods directly to shoppers. That means bypassing brick-and-mortar chains like Wal-Mart, Target and Costco, according to Bloomberg.
