Process and Content Theories of Motivation Essay

There are several process theories of motivation: The Vroom Expectancy Theory, the Adams’ Equity Theory, the Needs-Goal-Setting Theory, and the Reinforcement Theory of Motivation. Here our centre of attention is on helping you make a clear-cut distinction between process and content. Basically, process theories of motivation focus on how workers needs influence their own behaviour. Here our attention goes beyond motivation, our focal point is on giving you a key conceptual tool to help you manage both the performance of your direct reports (management) and the performance of your entire organization (leadership). â€Å"Process† is how employees work together, as opposed to the what – the â€Å"content,† the task, the issue – they are working on. An example of â€Å"process† is the way in which people interact with each other during a meeting; on the contrary, an example of â€Å"content† is the decision they make in that meeting. Process is hiring (the hiring processes that a company practices); content is the selected candidate that becomes the new employee. Process is the nature in which day-to-day performance conversations take place between the manager and her direct reports; content is what gets talked about, agreed upon, and actually understood. Process is the way in which people interact with each other in order to solve a problem; content is the actual solution to the problem. Most executives have the unconscious tendency to focus on content – which is great, that’s what they get paid for – but unfortunately most executives also have the unconscious tendency to forget about the process they are using. However, the quality of the â€Å"process† that is used (the type of meeting that is used to make a decision for example), has an impact on the quality of the resulting â€Å"content† (if the meeting is poorly designed, the quality of the resulting decision is likely to be poorer, but if the meeting is well designed, the quality of the resulting decision is likely to be better). Again, the better the process used, the better the resulting content, and vice versa: The poorer the process used, the poorer the resulting content. Do the people in your company hate meetings because they spend too much time in them? The problem is not in the meetings themselves, but in the way your company runs those meetings. Does your company have several low performers? The problem is not in those poor people who perform below standards, but in your company’s management practices. Is your company lagging behind its competition? The problem is not in those high performing organizations, but in the leadership skills of your company’s leaders. The process by which a company is led and managed determines its long-term success.heori of Motivation A great company is successful in the long run not because of its great products or services, but because of the nature of its leadership and management processes. You can have the greatest product or service, but if you don’t have the appropriate management and leadership processes, your company won’t get too far. It’s that simple. The next time something doesn’t go as you wanted it to go, stop for a second, step back, get your focus off the content, and take a closer look at the process you are using. How can you improve the process that you are using?

Journal Entry of to Kill a Mockingbird

Dear Diary, Damn I hate school! T o be honest â€Å"I never looked forward more to anything in my life† (Lee 15), but everything went wrong. My teacher is Ms. Caroline Fisher. I don’t think she’s more than twenty-two. â€Å"She †¦ wore a red-and-white-striped dress. She looked and smelled like a peppermint drop. † (Lee 16). She began reading a very funny story about cats that wore clothes. When she was done, she wrote the alphabet on the blackboard ant asked me what they were. I read the letters to her and she got mad at me and told me to tell Atticus that he was teaching me wrong! Atticus never taught me how to read, Jem said I was born reading but Ms. Caroline must’ve thought I was lying. It would be so hard not ready, â€Å"reading was something that just came to me †¦ Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. † (Lee 18). After that everyone laughed at me because Ms. Caroline whipped me. Why? Because she tried to give Walter Cunningham a quarter so he could buy lunch. EVERYONE knows the Cunninghams never take anything from anyone because they can’t pay back. I was so mad at him so I beat him up. I told Jem but he invited him to have lunch at our house. At first Walter doubted but Jem told him I was crazy. Who does he think he is? When we were eating Walter drowned his food in syrup. â€Å"I †¦ asked what the sam hill he was doing. † (Lee 24). Atticus shook his head and Calpurnia called me to the kitchen. â€Å"She was furious, and when she was furious Calpurnia’s grammar became erratic. † (Lee 24). She gave me a lesson about what tolerance was but I’m still kinda confused. When we went back to school Ms. Caroline started complaining ‘cause she saw a cootie on Burris Ewell’s head. She made such a fuss about it! When she told him to go home and wash his hair so no one else would catch’em (although I think most of the other kids had some too) â€Å"[Burris] stood up. He was the filthiest human I had ever seen. His neck was dark gray, the backs of his hands were rusty, and his fingernails were black deep into the quick† (Lee 27) and started sayin’ that no one was sending him home, that he was about to leave because he only went the first days of school and never went back ‘till the next year. Then he got real mad and insulted Ms. Caroline and made her cry. We were tryin’ to cheer her up again but all we got from her was a â€Å"Thank you, darlings† (Lee 28). â€Å"Had her conduct been more friendly toward me, I would have felt sorry for her. † (Lee 22). When we finally got home, I told Atticus I didn’t want to go to school anymore. He must’ve been surprised because all I ever wanted was to start school. â€Å"[W]hat’s the matter? † (Lee 29) he said. And â€Å"[b]it by bit, I told him the day’s misfortunes. † (Lee 29). He solved my reading problem by making a compromise, which is an agreement. He said that if â€Å"[I] concede[d] the necessity of going to school, we’[d] go on reading every night just as we always ha[d]. I was so happy! Thanks to him I can be writing right now and will be a secret me and Atticus will keep. I hope nobody at school ever finds my diary or I’ll be in big trouble!

The Return: Shadow Souls Chapter 2

Elena burst out of the backseat of the Jaguar and ran a little way from the car before turning to see what had fallen on top of it. What had fallen was Matt. He was in the process of struggling to get up off his back. â€Å"Matt – oh, my God! Are you all right? Are you hurt?† Elena cried at the same time as Matt was shouting in tones of anguish: â€Å"Elena – oh, my God! Is the Jag all right? Is it hurt?† â€Å"Matt, are you crazy? Did you hit your head?† â€Å"Are there any scratches? Does the moonroof still work?† â€Å"No scratches. The moonroof is fine.† Elena had no idea if the moonroof worked, but she realized that Matt was raving, off his head. He was trying to get down without getting any mud on the Jag, but he was handicapped since his legs and feet were covered with mud. Getting off of the car without using his feet was proving difficult. Meanwhile, Elena was looking around. She herself had once fallen from the sky, yes, but she had been dead for six months first and had arrived naked, and Matt fulfilled neither requirement. She had a more prosaic explanation in mind. And there it was, lounging against a yellowwood tree and eyeing the scene with a very slight, wicked smile. Damon. He was compact; not as tall as Stefan, but with an indefinable aura of menace that more than made up for it. He was as immaculately dressed as always: black Armani jeans, black shirt, black leather jacket, and black boots, which all went with his carelessly windblown dark hair and his black eyes. Right now, he made Elena acutely aware that she was wearing a long white nightgown that she had brought with the idea that she could change her clothes underneath it if necessary while they were camping. The problem was that she usually did this just at dawn, and today writing in her diary had distracted her. And all at once the nightgown wasn't the correct attire for an early-morning fight with Damon. It wasn't sheer, being more akin to flannel than to nylon, but it was lacy, especially around the neck. Lace around a pretty neck to a vampire – as Damon had told her – was like a waving red cloak in front of a raging bull. Elena crossed her arms over her chest. She also tried to make sure that her aura was pulled in decorously. â€Å"You look like Wendy,† Damon said, and his smile was wicked, flashing, and definitely appreciative. He cocked his head to the side coaxingly. Elena refused to be coaxed. â€Å"Wendy who?† she said, and at just that moment remembered the last name of the young girl in Peter Pan, and winced inwardly. Elena had always been good at repartee of this kind. The problem was that Damon was better. â€Å"Why, Wendy†¦Darling,† Damon said, and his voice was a caress. Elena felt an inward shiver. Damon had promised not to Influence her – to use his telepathic powers to cloud or manipulate her mind. But sometimes it felt as if he got awfully close to the line. Yes, it was definitely Damon's fault, Elena thought. She didn't have any feelings for him that were – well, that were anything other than sisterly. But Damon never gave up, no matter how many times she rejected him. Behind Elena was a thump and squelch that undoubtedly meant Matt had finally gotten off the roof of the Jag. He jumped into the fray immediately. â€Å"Don't call Elena, Elena darling!† he shouted, continuing as he turned to Elena, â€Å"Wendy's probably the name of his latest little girlfriend. And – and – and do you know what he did? How he woke me up this morning?† Matt was quivering with indignation. â€Å"He picked you up and threw you on top of the car?† Elena hazarded. She talked over her shoulder to Matt because there was a faint morning breeze that tended to mold her nightgown to her body. She didn't want Damon behind her just now. â€Å"No! I mean, yes! No and yes! But – when he did, he didn't even bother to use his hands! He just went like this† – Matt waved an arm – â€Å"and first I got dropped into a mud hole and next thing I know I got dropped on the Jag. It could have broken the moonroof – or me! And now I'm all muddy,† Matt added, examining himself with disgust, as if it had only just occurred to him. Damon spoke up. â€Å"And why did I pick you up and put you down again? What were you actually doing at the time when I put some distance between us?† Matt flushed to the roots of his fair hair. His normally tranquil blue eyes were blazing. â€Å"I was holding a stick,† he said defiantly. â€Å"A stick. A stick like the kind you find along the roadside? That kind of stick?† â€Å"I did pick it up along the roadside, yes!† Still defiant. â€Å"But then something strange seems to have happened to it.† From nowhere that Elena could see, Damon suddenly produced a very long, and very sturdy-looking stake, with one end that had been whittled to an extremely sharp point. It had definitely been carved from hardwood: oak from the look of it. While Damon was examining his â€Å"stick† from all sides with a look of acute bafflement, Elena turned on a sputtering Matt. â€Å"Matt!† she said reproachfully. This was definitely a low point in the cold war between the two boys. â€Å"I just thought,† Matt went on stubbornly, â€Å"that it might be a good idea. Since I'm sleeping outdoors at night and a†¦another vampire might come along.† Elena had already turned again and was making appeasing noises at Damon when Matt burst out afresh. â€Å"Tell her how you actually woke me up!† he said explosively. Then, without giving Damon a chance to say anything, he continued, â€Å"I was just opening my eyes when he dropped this on me!† Matt squelched over to Elena, holding something up. Elena, truly at a loss, took it from him, turning it over. It seemed to be a pencil stub, but it was discolored dark reddish-brown. â€Å"He dropped that on me and said ‘scratch off two,'† Matt said. â€Å"He'd killed two people – and he was bragging about it!† Elena suddenly didn't want to be holding the pencil anymore. â€Å"Damon!† she said in a cry of real anguish, as she tried to make something out of his no-expression expression. â€Å"Damon – you didn't – not really – â€Å" â€Å"Don't beg him, Elena. The thing we've got to do – â€Å" â€Å"If anybody would let me get a word in,† Damon said, now sounding truly exasperated, â€Å"I might mention that before I could explain about the pencil someone attempted to stake me on the spot, even before getting out of his sleeping bag. And what I was going to say next was that they weren't people. They were vampires, thugs, hired muscle – but these were possessed by Shinichi's malach. And they were on our trail. They'd gotten as far as Warren, Kentucky, probably by asking questions about the car. We're definitely going to have to get rid of it.† â€Å"No!† Matt shouted defensively. â€Å"This car – this car means something to Stefan and Elena.† â€Å"This car means something to you,† Damon corrected. â€Å"And I might point out that I had to leave my Ferrari in a creek just so we could take you on this little expedition.† Elena held up her hand. She didn't want to hear any more. She did have feelings for the car. It was big and brilliantly red and flashy and buoyant – and it expressed how she and Stefan had been feeling on the day that he bought it for her, celebrating the start of their new life together. Just looking at it made her remember the day, and the weight of Stefan's arm around her shoulder and the way he'd looked down at her, when she'd looked up at him – his green eyes sparkling with mischief and the joy of getting her something she really wanted. To Elena's embarrassment and fury, she found that she was shaking slightly, and that her own eyes were full of tears. â€Å"You see,† Matt said, glaring at Damon. â€Å"Now you're making her cry.† â€Å"I am? I'm not the one who mentioned my dear departed younger brother,† Damon said urbanely. â€Å"Just stop it! Right now! Both of you,† Elena shouted, trying to find her composure. â€Å"And I don't want this pencil, if you don't mind,† she added, holding it at arm's length. When Damon took it, Elena wiped her hands on her nightgown, feeling vaguely light-headed. She shivered, thinking of the vampires on their trail. And then, suddenly, as she swayed, there was a warm, strong arm around her and Damon's voice beside her saying, â€Å"What she needs is some fresh air, and I'm going to give it to her.† Abruptly Elena was weightless and she was in Damon's arms and they were going higher. â€Å"Damon, could you please put me down?† â€Å"Right now, darling? It's quite a distance†¦Ã¢â‚¬  Elena continued to remonstrate with Damon, but she could tell that he had tuned her out. And the cool morning air was clearing her head a bit, although it also made her shake. She tried to stop the shivering, but couldn't help it. Damon glanced down at her and to her surprise, looking completely serious, began to make motions as if to take his jacket off. Elena hastily said, â€Å"No, no – you just drive – fly, I mean, and I'll hang on.† â€Å"And watch for low-going seagulls,† Damon said solemnly, but with a quirk at the side of his mouth. Elena had to turn her face away because she was in danger of laughing. â€Å"So, just when did you learn you could pick people up and drop them on cars?† she inquired. â€Å"Oh, just recently. It was like flying: a challenge. And you know I like challenges.† He was looking down at her with mischief in his eyes, those black on black eyes with such long lashes that they were wasted on a boy. Elena felt as light as if she were dandelion fluff, but also a little light-headed, almost tipsy. She was much warmer now, because – she realized – Damon had enfolded her in his aura, which was warm. Not just in temperature, either, but warm with a heady, almost drunken appreciation, as he took her in, her eyes and her face and her hair floating weightlessly in a cloud of gold around her shoulders. Elena couldn't help but blush, and she almost heard his thought, that blushing suited her very well, pale pink against her fair complexion. And just as blushing was an involuntary physical response to his warmth and appreciation, Elena felt an involuntary emotional response – of thankfulness for what he had done, of gratitude for his appreciation, and of unintentional appreciation of Damon himself. He had saved her life tonight, if she knew anything about vampires possessed by Shinichi's malach, vampires who were thugs to begin with. She couldn't even imagine what such creatures would do to her, and she didn't want to. She could only be glad that Damon had been clever enough and, yes, ruthless enough to take care of them before they got to her. And she would have to be blind and just plain stupid not to appreciate the fact that Damon was gorgeous. After having died twice, this fact did not affect her as it would most other girls, but it was still a fact, whether Damon was pensive or giving one of those rare genuine smiles that he seemed to have only for Elena. The problem with this was that Damon was a vampire and could therefore read her mind, especially with Elena being so close, their auras intermingling. And Damon appreciated Elena's appreciation, and it became a little cycle of feedback, all on its own. Before Elena could quite focus she was melting, her weightless body feeling heavier as it molded itself to Damon's arms. And the other problem was that Damon wasn't Influencing her; he was as caught up in the feedback as Elena was – more so, because he didn't have any barriers against it. Elena did, but they were blurring, dissolving. She couldn't think properly. Damon was gazing at her with wonder and a look she was all too used to seeing – but she couldn't remember where. Elena had lost the power to analyze. She was simply basking in the warm glow of being cherished, being held and loved and cared for with an intensity that shook her to the bone. And when Elena gave of herself, she gave completely. Almost without conscious effort, she arched her head back to expose her throat and closed her eyes. Damon gently positioned her head differently, supported it with one hand, and kissed her.

Persuasion in Advertising Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 3000 words

Persuasion in Advertising - Essay Example It is formed on the basis of psychological and physiological movements which are studied by the advertising and marketing people so that the client (the company people) also remain happy and their business flourishes in the longer run. However, to get this very message down to the intended people is not an easy job to start with. It needs to be very targeted, precise and significant for them in order for them to take notice and understand that the particular brand connects with them in the best and most easiest of manners possible and hence they should be the ones to buy it for themselves and for this reason satisfy their need or even please themselves more than they had already expected. It is a sure tough job for the people who have to extract the perfect message which needs to be sharpened again and again before it actually gets down to the right kind of people who will make the actual purchase and therefore the product will be sold in the end. However, on the flip side of the coi n, this requires selling the product or the brand in the mind of the consumer before he actually decides to go and buy the very same. This is referred as the pre-selling stage and advertising has got a lot to do with it. Psychologically speaking, consumers connect with what is there on the electronic and/or print media for them in the form of a message that says a lot about their preferred brand and lists down the details as to how it could benefit the same person if he or she uses it. Advertising is the non-personal communication of information usually paid for and usually persuasive in nature about products, services or ideas by identified sponsors through the various media. This is all the art of selling and it comes under the heading of marketing and for marketing to happen in the first place, advertising is of fundamental importance. (Mitchell, 1993) Without advertising, marketers can only think of their product lying on the retail outlets waiting for angels to come and satisfy themselves. People need to be told the plus points of their brands (by the company) so that they actually go out and make the eventual purchase which in all fairness, not an easy job for the company, say that is producing a shoe polish which does not stick on to the shoes as much as do the other competitor shoe polishes already available in the market. If the customers do not know or are not given the liberty to comprehend the different features of the brand which is being advertised by the company, they would not make that valued effort on their part and hence the company will be the one to suffer in the end and no one else. Advertising is a part of the social psychology and as we are discussing the persuasive part of it, hence there is a direct linkage here. Hence the branch of human psychology that deals with the behavior of groups and the influence of social factors on the individual is indeed the social psychology and as we are getting the hang of things from the advertising and persuasion perspective of it, the both are seen as being quite imperative here. First and foremost, for persuasion, one needs to take into notice the fact that this is a two way process and not a hand which can clap alone

Revenue Recognition Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 1500 words

Revenue Recognition - Essay Example Although it may initially seem counterintuitive to adopt the practices for revenue recognition stated in EITF 00-21,it is clearly the next step in establishing the company as a leader not only in the aircraft transport field but as a pioneer in the adoption of enhanced accounting guidelines is concerned. One must understand that although accounting revenues and profit will decrease, the company’s financial position is not affected. Although the recognized revenue for the current year and the subsequent restatement of the previous financial statements will result in a decrease of our stated revenues and profit, under the astute eye of the investment community it will clearly be perceived as an act that further solidifies the company as a leader in the industry. Additionally a lot of our current year revenue losses will be offset by additional revenue being recognized from contracts obtained during the previous four years of operations. Under our current accounting methods the fractional interest contracts are immediately recognized as revenue in its totality for the current accounting period. The monthly management revenue stream and the hourly usage incomes are both recognized as well as related expenses as they are incurred. In the industry, a lot of different revenue recognition practices are utilized. For example just like our current accounting practices, some companies record revenue on initial sale of fractional interest at the time of sale. There are other companies that account the revenue from programs similar to operating leases whereas other companies spread the income over the term of the agreement. As a result, the following three options were being analyzed by management: A) Revenue attributable to the initial sale of the fractional interest should be recognized at the time of sale. The other attributes of the program, namely the

Facilities Engineering Coursework Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 3000 words

Facilities Engineering - Coursework Example Here are the CPR results obtained for oil and gas exploration: Figure 1: CPR results of Gas and Oil extracted from Gazelle Well Major products extracted out of the oilfield at Gazelle are liquefied petroleum gas, gasoline, diesel fuel, fuel oils, lubricating oils, paraffin wax, sulfur. Question: Prepare flow schemes showing the architecture of the layout and of the main components used from the wellhead to the point of export for all option. The architectural layout of the Gazelle offshore oilfield is shown below with all the processing units and their respective processing cycles. This is a very large operating unit with extensively large piping layout with fluid streams running along. Crude oil is first passed through an oil production unit which provides the pre-processed oil to the oil storage tank from where it is delivered to the processing plant through a piping system. Here is the detailed flow diagram of all the processes taking place along their sequential flows: Figure 2: Flow Diagram of Gazelle Oilfield with components used in Oil Production Gazelle oilfield is a field that requires extensive production as well as operational refurbishments but even then it is above working above case base oil producing offshore refineries. This oil production unit involves a number of operating units that work extensively for long hours to provide quality product in economical rates with least water cuts. Following is an exhaustive list of components that work as a part of oil refinery at Gazelle(Snow, 2010, Gordon, 2012). De-salter unit is just provided at the inlet of crude oil and is responsible for washing away all the salt from crude oil. Distillator: Crude oil from de-salter is then passed through the distillatory unit which distills the crude oil into fractions. Second stage of distillation is also incorporated just after this by making use vacuum distillation unit which is responsible for the distillation of the left over components of crude oil which were not fractioned by simple distillatory. Hydrotreater: all fractions of the crude oil are then hydrogenated according to their requirements and this process is performed for removing sulfur contents from the oil fractions. Catalytic Reformer: it is used to reform the low grade oil fractions into high grade products like converting gasoline to a higher degree of octane level. While reforming the oil fractions excess amount of hydrogen is produced as a by-product of the process. Fluid Catalytic Cracker: this catalytic cracker is specialized in converting only liquid oil fractions to higher grade of oil. The process of converting gasoline to hi-octane is processed there. Hydrocracker: hydrocracker then takes the oil fractions and hydrogenizes them in order to upgrade the fractions. Visbreaking: the oil fractions that are needed to be degraded to lower order fractions are then passed through visbreaking unit Coking unit: this unit is specialized in carbonizing the heavy oil components of the fractions in order to produce gasoline. This helps in converting maximum oil fractions into consumable products. Alkylation: this unit is specialized in converting low grade molecules to higher ones and hence improving the quality of gasoline. Dimerization: the process of dimerization is performed in order to hydrogenate the gasoline products. Isomerization unit: This unit is specia

Probation and Intermediate Sanctions #8 Term Paper

Probation and Intermediate Sanctions #8 - Term Paper Example 6). On other hand, intermediate sanctions refer to illegal judgments that connect ordinary audition and imprisonment. Intermediate sanction usually includes the following, thorough trial, house detention, electronic scrutinization, boot campus and drug management (Siegel 2011 p. 7).

The problems of advertising unhealthful products to children and Essay

The problems of advertising unhealthful products to children and teens, and propose a solution - Essay Example This paper analyses the problems associated with unhealthy advertising to children and teens and proposes certain solutions to avoid it. Tobacco companies exploit the hero worshipping attitudes of younger generation cleverly with the help of beautiful ads and children and teens become the victims of such misleading ads. Lung cancer, heart diseases, asthma, cough etc are often caused by smoking. Instead of revealing these health problems of smoking, tobacco companies in their advertisements describe smoking as a pleasant act which gives immense satisfaction and pleasure to the smoker. Majority of the tobacco companies have celebrities as their brand ambassador. For example, film stars are often utilized by tobacco companies for advertising their cigarettes. The mannerisms and the body languages of the film stars in the tobacco advertisements will encourage the hero worshipping teen generation to imitate their heartthrobs blindly. Children and teens have the inherited trait to imitate others. They learn life lessons from parents, teachers and celebrities. They are not much aware of the consequences of smoking. Only thi ng they know is that their hero is smoking and therefore they can also smoke. Alcoholism is another problem associated with unhealthy advertisements. As in the case of smoking, liquor manufacturers also advertise their products as safe to use. It should be noted that alcoholism can create more problems to the teenage community than adult people. Children during their physical and mental developmental stages need nutritious food and a healthy lifestyle. However, liquor manufacturers encourage younger generation to start drinking habits as early as possible with the help of misleading advertisements. â€Å"Alcohol advertisements often portray alcohol as enhancing economic success, fun, attractiveness to the opposite sex, athletic skill, and social popularity† (Alcohol Advertising

Can there be peace in the Middle East based on the history of the area Research Paper

Can there be peace in the Middle East based on the history of the area - Research Paper Example Can peace ever be established there? There are initiatives under way, but the history of the region has shown that peace is elusive and fragile. There is always hope for a lasting agreement, and the world watches and waits for that moment to arrive. This paper discusses the events of the past, the problems, the initiatives, and the hope. Peace Plan for the Middle East Hot Bed of History The Middle East encompasses Western Asia and North Africa. It is arid and hot. Sometimes called the Near East, it has many rivers and irrigation channels to feed its agriculture. Its Persian Gulf contains one of the world’s most important assets: crude oil deposits. It has historically been a hot bed of political and religious turmoil. The origins of that turmoil include a crowded geography, differing political philosophies, economic pressures, and perhaps most importantly, division over religious claims to an area which has provided the historical origins of three leading world religions: Isla m, Judaism and Christianity. All three claim Jerusalem and surrounding â€Å"Holy Land† (modern Palestine) as home to their religious heritage. Culture of Combat The primary combatants for the Holy Land today are the Arabs and Israelis. But it wasn’t always that way. ... A century later, the Islamic leader, Saladin, who had Egypt under his control, led Islam in a holy war (â€Å"jihad)† against Christians, recapturing Jerusalem in 1187. So the area is known for its years of strife. But it was the Israel community which became the latter day opposition for the Arabs, and today’s conflict has become the focal point of Middle East politics and mutual aggression. Modern Day Conflict Today, the Jews and Arabs recognize that they are both losing this battle which has recently escalated between them. As Goldschmidt pointed out, things got hot during World War I. He said, â€Å"The duration and intensity of what we now call the Arab-Israeli conflict were due to the rise of nationalism in modern times" (Goldschmidt, 1999, p.231). Strangely enough, there is evidence that these two long-time adversaries have plans to try once again for peace in the region. That is a first step toward stability in an area that has rarely experienced it throughout all of history. Plan for improvement in relations Krause and Van Evera (2009) suggest several actions which could improve relations between the U.S. and the Middle East. Two-way dialogue with respect for the traditions of the Muslim world should replace one-way oratory. The use of facts over hyperbole and propaganda will better guide discussion. The dialogue should be conducted in an air of peace and desire for mutual understanding, without the background of conflict generated primarily by al-Qaeda around the world. The United States should confront and contest al-Qaeda at every opportunity and perhaps seek the assistance of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) which could apply pressure to combative governments. Initiatives begun Conflict in the Middle East in recent years has focused on the

Healthcare Costs Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 1250 words

Healthcare Costs - Essay Example The health insurance policies play a significant role in determining the cost of care. This is depicted by the reality that there are differences in the cost of health insurance by the government and private providers (Weeks, 2012). For example, the private insurance policy has resulted in increased costs of health insurance and health care in private hospitals than public hospitals. The private insurance policy provides that individuals can take personal insurance which includes ambulance cover, general treatment cover and hospital cover (West, 2014). Disparities in access to ambulatory services are ambulatory services are attributed to the high costs, which are associated with private ambulance covers (Leigh & Wheatley, 2010). The cost of care is described as the main factor which affects the delivery of health care services (Bodenheimer & Grumbach, 2012). The costs of health insurance are spelled out within the insurance policies. High costs of health insurance cause individuals that cannot afford it to wait with illnesses until the point when they are less treatable (Wood, 2013). The private insurance policy limits the services that can be covered. For instance, there are inclusions and restrictions to specific services, which mean that patients incur greater personal expenses. Optional treatments, which are not covered by Medicare, are also based on the personal expenses of patients. Long stay patients also pay more because long term care is not covered by Medicare (Weeks, 2012). These are provisions within the public and private health insurance policies, which contribute to the high costs that are, associated with care processes within US health facilities (West, 2014). The Affordable Health Care policy as provided within the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act also plays a role in influencing health

My Vegas Vacation Essay Example for Free

My Vegas Vacation Essay I had read about Vegas, I had seen pictures of Vegas, I had watched many movies about Vegas, but I had never imagined that I would ever visit Vegas. It wasn’t until I saw the lights of the huge city from the plane that I believed I was actually going to be landing in Las Vegas. The airport was a trip in itself and it took more than an hour to gather our luggage and get to our hotel. Even though it was midnight and we were tired, we quickly left our bags in our room and started to look around. We wandered aimlessly though casino after casino, all the while amazed at the lights, the food, the opulence and, of course, the sounds of winning machines. We spent the whole night, as well as the next three days, trying to decide which attraction was the best. Though much of Vegas was unforgettable, the most memorable were the dancing waters in front of the Bellagio hotel; it was so calming in the middle of the chaotic Vegas strip. We went back a few times to watch it. We also loved the light show on Freemont Street, and riding on the top of the double-decker bus on the way back to our hotel was a lot of fun. The highlight of the trip was attending the Wayne Brady show. He acts much the same as he does on the famous show, â€Å"Whose Line is it Anyway? † He asked for volunteers from the audience and I didn’t raise my hand; I sort of regret that now. It was still one of the most memorable vacations I have ever taken. The word vacation always suggests that there would be some relaxing and resting on the trip. I saved all of the my resting for the flight home and even though I didn’t get a lot of sleep in Las Vegas, I came home feeling as though I had a well-deserved break; what a vacation!

Social development in India

Social development in India Introduction India has a population of 1.18 billion individuals which contribute to 17.31 percent of worlds population (Sarina, 2005). Indias electricity energy consumption is more than 145,000 Mega watts which accounts to not less than 3.5 per cent of the global energy consumption placing it at sixth position in global energy consumption. In attempts to meet energy needs various power plants generate energy as follows. Coal contributes 53 per cent, oil accounts for 31 per cent, hydroelectric power plants accounts for 6 percent while natural gas, nuclear and other renewable contribute 8 percent, 1 percent and 1 percent respectively. Supply for electricity energy in India has usually been outstripped by its demand on 7 to 11 percent mark.Indeed, only 40 to 44 percent of the total rural households access electricity. India imports an amazing 71 percent of its oil needs from Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Yemen, Kuwait and Iran among other countries totaling about 1.8million bb/d per annum. The country wil l be in demand of 400, 000 mega watts by 2020 and more than 950, 000 mega watts of power by 2030. The government of India has expressed its 2012 mission of power for all. The 2012 mission on power is expected to enhance achievement of 8 per cent growth in gross domestic product. Rural electrification in states of Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, and Uttranchal among others is almost complete. With the aforementioned facts and cost implications regarding power inadequacy in India, there is dire need of the government exploring more energy sources. Among the less explored yet cheap source of energy is the bio gas energy (Khusro et al, 2005). Background on biogas energy According to Deublein Steinhauser (2008), biogas originates from biogenic materials where the gas generated through breakdown of organic matter in absence of oxygen. Biogas is a bio fuel. The first biogenic plant was built in 1859 in Bombay India. It was however in England that the biogenic plant was utilized in electricity generation that lit streets in Exeter. In India, the first biogas plant was established in the vicinity of Mumbai although the undertaking was a mere sewerage treatment project. The biogas plant in India may have started generating energy in 1897 although full experimentation occurred in the late 1930s. The said gas can be manufactured by use of anaerobic digesters that are fed with biodegradable wastes or energy crops like maize silage. During production of biogas, biomass waste material is transformed into methane. The energy is renewable and can be used in various forms of internal combustion engine such as heating and electricity. In fact biogas energy has a 60 percent potential thermal efficiency when used under appropriate aeration and equipment as compared to dung and wood that has 11 percent and 17 percent respectively. The perceived relative cheap cost of maintenance of the biogas plant has proved favorable to India poor villagers. Dissemination of bio gas plants Biogas plants have been put up in India since 1960s although the notable dissemination was realized in 1981 after the formation of national project on biogas development. This notable dissemination was probably a reflection of fuel-wood shortage in the country at the time. The government of India considers biogas technology as a tool to alleviate rural poverty and a stimulant rural development. The government through the relevant bodies has facilitated setting up of approximately two and a half million biogas plants across the country. However, large scale production of biogas technology is yet to be realized. According to Pachauri (2007), use of biogas for cooking only accounts for 3 and 2 percents for Indias urban and rural populations. The later is definitely an indication that biogas as an alternative fuel is poorly disseminated. Generally, dissemination of biogas technology is through system of concessions and subsidies despite the differences among states. There are also commun ity plants for biogas disseminations which have achieved considerable success levels. However, community plants face logistical challenges in their coordination as well as political feuds. Indeed, biogas programs may not meet the needs of the marginalized and poorest populations since technical requirements for establishment and maintenance of viable plants are inaccessible to them. Although the government assists in biogas plants establishments, its effect has not been felt in many poor homesteads. Challenges facing biogas production and use in India Only five percent of the total population utilizes biogas technology. The rate of success is higher among urban population. Higher levels of success are realized in urban places mainly because of two factors (Nijaguna, 2002). The first reason is that the urban population is more informed of the benefits of biogas technology as compared with other sources of energy. Second, poverty level is lower in urban set-ups as compared to rural areas. The initial capital for establishing a biogas plant and the associated dissemination is usually high for the poor rural populations. Failure of the biogas technology in utilizing its full potential in India is attributed to several factors. To start with, harsh climatic conditions that cause drought reduce availability of dung which is the most common raw material for biogas plant. Drought results to death and forced sale of cattle subsequently reducing dung availability. Second, biogas plants are faced with winter seasons which inhibit methanogene sis process which is responsible in biogas production. Third, many plants are shoddy constructed rendering them faulty and non-functional. Shoddy construction may be attributed to irresponsibility among government officers charged with overseeing construction of community biogas plants as well as other undertakings related to biogas plants establishment. In addition, many individuals lack the necessary expertise in construction and operation. This has led to eventual failure of biogas plants due to such mal practices such as construction of extensively large plants and subsequent underfeeding of the plant with dung. Furthermore, use of cattle in the fields poses a challenge to the collection of dung for biogas plants. Scope of bio gas India has approximately four hundred and ninety million livestock species comprising of buffalo, cattle, sheep and pig among others. In fact, livestock in India accounts for 53 percent in buffalo population and close to 16 percent of cattle population. Due to utilization of livestock for other purposes, only 35 percent of livestock are reared in a closet enabling dung collection. Ideally, dung deficiency may be supplemented with septic tanks. However the traditional arguments hinder utilization of human feaces in energy production. The raw materials have been used with an average forty seven percent efficiency in production of biogas energy. According to Khusro et al (2005), only half the numbers of constructed biogas plants are functional in producing maximum biogas energy possible. Indeed, in a sample of 1670 biogas plants, 1086 of them were disqualified under feasibility criteria. Types of bio gas plants Biogas has two major varieties classified according to the production process. The earliest biogas plant form was landfill gas (LPG). LPG is produced during decomposition of organic substances. The resultant products are methane gas, carbon dioxide and nitrogen. Usually LPG is accidentally produced when biomass is deposited for disposal under normal circumstances. When venting of LPG is uncontrolled during decomposition of disposed biomass on land, re-cultivation of such a land site is hampered. The second biogas plant utilizes sewage sludge. The production process in sewage gas involves fermentation of sludge in septic tanks at temperatures between thirty two and thirty four (Deublein Steinhauser, 2008). The output from the later plant comprises of 55 percent methane, 35 percent carbon dioxide and negligible residue quantities. Sewage gas is purified and compressed if found to contain significant amounts of contaminants before use. Socio economic impacts of bio gas use With the increasing environmental concerns, bio gas plans help in reducing destruction of forests caused by over dependence of firewood as a source of energy. Furthermore, Biogas is a clean form of energy that reduces the concentration of carbon dioxide in the environment. Socially, biogas significantly reduces the burden of women who are usually charged with cooking among the Indian population. Furthermore, although the initial costs of biogas plant establishment are high, the operational and maintenance costs are significantly lower compared to other sources (Chandra, 2004).

Automation Technology for Food Processing and Manufacture :: Industrial Manufacturing Technological Essays

Automation Technology for Food Processing and Manufacture Industrial manufacturing technology is constantly changing. In the 1700's, we first really saw the concept of "specialization of labor" in which an individual specialized in one aspect of an item's production. With the Industrial Revolution the 1800's, people began using machines to do their work for them. Through the 1900's to today, we are seeing electronics make even more sophisticated machines possible. It seems with each new step of technology, industry is becoming more and more automated, completely changing the role people play in production. The average "worker" is nearly extinct, having been replaced by engineers, technicians, and the machines originally created to make their jobs easier. Automation technology is used in every large scale production industry. I chose to learn about automation technology with regards to food processing in particular because it is a field I am familiar with, and it will continue to exist and evolve as long as people and animals need to eat. Overview Large scale food production is more involved than one may think. The following are illustrations of a generalized food processing plant, such as one used to make cereal: Food Process Packaging Process These processes are automated using technology created by companies such as Rockwell, Siemens, and Texas Instruments. For the sake of example, I will talk about Rockwell, because it tends to be the leader in the industry. The Technology PLC's (Programmable Logic Controls) - actual sensor inputs are called tags . speed sensors . counters . thermocouples . photo sensors . scales . density sensors . on/off switches . anything that can measure the change of the state of something - each sensor is connected by hardwire to the PLC - PLC's are connected by Ethernet to a central hub, making data available to all stations on the network - form elaborate logic trees - offers near infinite flexibility

The Salem Witchcraft Trials of 1692 Essay examples -- The Crucible Art

The Salem Witchcraft Trials of 1692 The Salem witchcraft trials of 1692, which resulted in 19 executions, and 150 accusations of witchcraft, are one of the historical events almost everyone has heard of. They began when three young girls, Betty Parris, Abigail Williams and Ann Putnam began to have hysterical fits, after being discovered engaging in forbidden fortune-telling (not dancing naked in the woods) to learn what sorts of men they would marry. Betty's father, the Reverend Samuel Parris, called in more senior authorities to determine if the girls' affliction was caused by witchcraft. Although Betty was sent away fairly soon, and did not participate in the trials, the other girls were joined by other young and mature women in staging public demonstrations of their affliction when in the presence of accused "witches." The events in Salem have been used as a theme in many literary works, including the play by Arthur Miller which we are going to read during this unit. They are interesting to anthropologists because they display some of the characteristics of "village" witchcraft and some of the features of the European witch craze. Many commentators have seen the Salem witch craze as the last outbreak of the European witch craze, transported to North America. As in African and New Guinea villages, the original accusations in Salem were made against people who, in one way or another, the accusers had reason to fear or resent. Moreover, the first few of the accused fit the definition of "marginal" persons, likely to arouse suspicion. However, as in Europe, the accusations spread, and came to encompass people not involved in any of Salem's local grudges. As in Europe there was a belief that the accused were in league with the Devil and "experts" employed "scientific" ways of diagnosing witchcraft. Interestingly, during the colonial period in Africa, shortly after World War II, there were a number of witch finding movements in Africa, which resembled the Salem episode in some ways, and had a similar status "in between" the sort of witch hunt found in Europe and the typical African pattern. Typically, in these movements, "witch finders" would come in from outside a village and claim to be able to rid the village of witchcraft. At this period there was great dislocation, with people moving around because of government employment, a... ...er trusted them. This was likely to be a more acute problem in the U.S., since the people who were named by those who cooperated with the Committee weren't hanged and put out of the way, just fired and left to try to lead the resistance to McCarthyism. Namers of names sometimes found themselves with no friends at all, since anti-Communists often still failed to trust them. The issue of resisting collaboration with the witch hunters was important enough to Miller that he altered history, and portrayed the trials as stopping when more people refused to confess when, in fact, a significant increase in confessions probably served to cast some doubt on the validity of individual confessions. Taking liberties with the text is one of the characteristics of the interaction between humans and their myths. And a charter myth is certainly what the witch hunts in Europe and Salem have become, though they have more basis in fact than most myths. The stories of the witch hunts are charter myths for our time, to be told by feminists, left-wing intellectuals, and lawyers for President Clinton, each taking what he or she needs from the story, adding or subtracting as seems fit.

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee :: To Kill a Mockingbird Essays

People have different perceptions of courage all the time; some think it is a man with a gun in hand; some see courage as mental strength to persevere and withstand danger, fear, or difficulty; others think courage is an ordinary person, doing extraordinary things; or even standing up for what is right, even if you are standing alone. In Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, courage is illustrated through the characters of Atticus Finch, Mrs. Henry Lafayette Dubose, and Bob Ewell. Atticus and Mrs.Dubose share some of the same characteristics of courage. They both begin an impossible task but give it their all until the end, even if they don't succeed. On the other hand, Bob Ewell shows an immense lack of courage throughout the book by not having the courage to accept the consequences of his own wrong doing. Atticus, Bob Ewell, and Mrs.Dubose each reveal courage in different ways, even if that way is not showing any courage at all. Atticus Finch feels true courage is when " you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through to the end no matter what." (p.112) With this definition of courage, Atticus would be considered an extremely courageous man. Tom Robinson was being accused of raping a white girl during the 1930s in Alabama. Because of the way blacks were treated then, obviously the chances of Tom Robinson walking out of the courthouse innocent were slim to none. When Atticus takes the case of Tom Robinson he says it is the "one case in his lifetime that affects him personally." (p. 76) If he didn't take this case, he felt he couldn't "represent this country in legislature" additionally he said, "I couldn't hold up my head in town I couldn't even tell you and Jem not to do something again."(75) Taking this case took a great deal of courage and made Atticus a target of ridicule for Maycomb County. He was standing up for what he felt was right, and he was almost standing solo. The majority of Maycomb's citizens do not agree with Atticus's actions whatsoever. He was "running a still" in Maycomb, he was referred to as a "nigger lover" which was not accepted in society of Alabama in the 1930s(75). In Atticus's own home he was put down for defending a black man. Although Mrs. Merriweather never stated it, she did make her point clear that she felt there were "some good but

Ruse’s Argument

The primary argument of Michael Ruse regarding genetic engineering is that it is very possible to proceed with the scientific method of biological entity without harming the spiritual aspect of what most religions, specifically with Christianity teach about the natural tendency of existence. His main argument is that it is possible to reconcile religion with Evolutionary Theory (Wikipedia, 2007). The stigma of creating a world of regret and blasphemy is no longer a valid reason why biological nature should be abandoned whereas it cold significantly harnessed to lead to the development of the human population. This caused some high criticisms over ethics and religious groups who were able to consider the argument of Ruse to be a serious matter. In comparison with Glover and the CRG’s view, the main aspect that differentiate them from Michael Ruse’s argument is the fact that genetic engineering should only be used restrictively if it is to be used for genetic therapy which they think as morally right whereas it would be morally wrong if the process is to select only the trait to be modified without the consideration for the greater net welfare of the organism (Umass, 2005). This is the same principle that makes the stand of the Council for Responsible Genetics. They insist that there should be an agreement on the proper code of responsibility when dealing with the manipulation of the genes of any organisms. Such act will definitely minimize the possible drawbacks of taking the power to change nature. This will ensure that the primary goal of genetic manipulation is to address the need to make it beneficial for the betterment of mankind. References: Wikipedia. 2007. Michael Ruse.

Peter Singer-Bernard Rollin There is a good comparison between Peter Singer’s approach to the ethical values for animals and Bernard Rollin’s perception on how to take care of the human’s appeal to animals. On the part of peter singer, he intends to provide a clear view of treating animals as somewhat equal to the dignity of the humans. He lobbied for the special treatment on other organisms to be treated also as humans who have rights and privileges of living a peaceful and safe life. He has started the animal liberation movement which dramatically intends to free the animals from the intention of humans to use them for their commodities. On the other hand, Bernard Rollin plays an important role in signifying that science is never actually separated form ethics. In fact, science is full of ethical values. When it comes to animal sciences and suffering, he notes, there is an implied value-based ethical decision made whenever an animal's suffering or welfare is considered subservient to science or industry (The Pew, 2004). Emotivism is used in the argument of Singer while Rollin’s is implying Cultural Relativism. In searching for the better argument, the ethics provide by the Peter Singer is much more adhered to the true notion of ethics. His intention to set free the animals from human commercial use though genetics is directly capturing the essence of letting them live how nature intended them to survive. On the part of Rollin’s arguments, it can’t be denied that he also has a good approach in setting a standard notion about ethics and science. However, he missed the general point of protecting the animals but rather concentrates on the general perspective of influencing the people to lay down the fundamentals of ethical values.

Danny and the Ring Essay

veritable(a) though the sp foretell sun was turn out in force, the wind s operate on on do Dannys pry so arctic that it wouldnt stop running. The weatherman say that it was leaving to rain later, exclusively so far the sunshine made him squinty his eyes as he walked. either twenty-four min period, Danny had to be at work by 730 in the morning, and he had never been late. He walked up the coer steps to the door of the funeral home slowly, victorious care not to trip on the middle step, which had a large defacement in it. When he got to the door, he wiped his nose with his sleeve, and thence fumbled for his special key.Thither wasnt whateverthing else in his pocket, nevertheless Danny s process fumbled anyway. A minute later, he took the key which was on a long shoelace thread and opened the heavy wooden door, wincing at the squeak that cut through the shut away of the c over-the-hill April morning. Danny took his empower-on very seriously, and was attractive g oodly at it. The pay was copious to help pay for his live at the Special House w present he lived, and he identicald his good friend Dr. Jacob that worked with him in the basement. Jacob arrived at the funeral home either day near a half an hour after Danny got thither. He design Danny was a good kid, and he liked the feature that even though he had Downs Syndrome, Danny took to the job well. One thing he couldnt understand is how he made it every morning at the same take prison term like clockwork. Jacob worked on the bodies downstairs, lead them processed and manipulate for viewing.Danny would come in and sweep, mop, and generally clean up the workshop. The pour downing line day that Danny came in to work, he power saw Jacob hooking up hoses to a body. Danny was amazed, unless very calm and understanding, necessitateing to traffic pattern out exactly what Jacob was up to. afterwards Jacob tried to give Danny an overview of what he was doing and why, Danny al u nitary told him that he didnt get it, but that he was a heck of a doctor. by and by that, Jacob had become Dr. Jacob. Danny was already started when Dr. Jacob had arrived that morning. The bucket was gaunt with fresh hot soapy water, and still about of the floors had already been swept. Danny was getting the mop ready when Dr. Jacob got finish complete the elevator. Danny greeted him with his far-famed smile, and went to shake his bargain like he did every morning. detention are all full straightaway Danny, let me get over to the respond and drop off my stuff.The sterile odour of cleaner mixed in with the tarriance formaldehyde wafted its way just about Dr. Jacobs nose and told his brain that it was time to get to work. He dropped off his come out and lunch and then sour to Danny, who was time lag patiently for his morning handshake. Here ya go Danny, and a good morning to you too. They agitate hands and Danny was sticker to work again. The gloss over was unbeara ble down there in the dungeon, as it was mosttimes called. Dr. Jacob went to start up the Mr. Coffee, and then turn on the radio. You hold up you can turn this on when you get here Danny boy to give you some tunes to work to, right? Dr. Jacob said. Not till your here Dr. Jacob. No radio till your here. Your hot chocolate is almost ready. Got to get seat to work nowadays. Danny smiled with his unit face, eyes and all. He turned and grab get it on the mop and began to dip it and ring it out, getting ready to mop the preparation room. That was the room that Dr. Jacob couldnt stand. He could work on the dead, processing body fluids and what not, without hesitation. provided there was something weird about getting them dressed for the sound time, complete with vibrissa dos and all that he just couldnt stomach. That job was left to the darkness guy, Joe. He was gone before hexad every day, and got there at about ten at wickedness. Joe did pretty good work, even made up the ladie s with lip rouge and all, but Dr. Jacob tried to avoid the whole area if he could. He put some creamer in his coffee, and turned up the radio a bit, and sit down at his desk to review the files that came with all(prenominal) body. He was working on his warrant cup when he perceive Danny yell. Dr. Jacob jumped up, spilling his coffee on his white lab coat, and ran over to the dressing room. He had never heard Danny holler like that, and he conceit something was very wrong. He walked though the double over doors and found Danny sitting in the corner, rocking corroborate and forth. Danny, what happened? Whats wrong? Come on up Danny boy, tell me whats going on? The brothel keeper said she ask her ring back. She said give it back to her. She was a mad lady. Danny, theres no one else down here but you and me. The elevator hasnt locomote all day. there cant be any lady in this basement. Did you get scared by one of the bodies down here? Do you want to go home? No, I allow for g et back to work. Your right, Larissa is gone now. Im sorry Dr. Jacob. Danny dusted himself off and picked up the mop, and started right up again where he had left off. Dr. Jacob took a long opinion or so the room, but didnt work through anything out of the ordinary. Danny had calmed down, almost as if cryptograph had happened. Dr. Jacob shook it off and went back to his desk, and persistent to call Joe and ask him if anything had been going on the night before. The forebode rang three times, then a groggy voice was on the other end. Hello? This better be important, Im sleeping. Hey Joe, this is Jacob down at the home. Anything weird happen last night? No break ins or anybody snooping roughly in the basement dressing room? What? No man. Just business as usual. Had two chicks to do up last night. Hell, it was kinda slow. Something going on or what? No, Danny got freaked out. Said something about some lady named Larissa that wanted her ring back. I looked about and there aint nobody else in here but us. The doors upstairs dosent open until ten in the morning, I just thought you magnate of known something. Go back to bed Joe, if anything comes up I give you a shout. Ill come in azoic on tonight, check the place out. See ya Doc. Dr. Jacob hung the phone back into place and got up to start working on the first customer of the day. At lunchtime, Danny went home, and Dr. Jacob went upstairs to check in with the manager. He mentioned what happened with Danny, and asked if he knew anything about a girl named Larissa. The manager had no brain, but asked if it was such a good idea having Danny working there, especially with his own key. Dr. Jacob went away(p) with the manager to the parking lot, where the huge old Swanns sign stood. The sun had conceal itself behind a thick jetty of clouds, and the wind had whipped up another notch.

The first time he screws up, hes gone. the manager huffed. I got you, there wont be any problems. Joes coming in early just to check everything out, so I might stick around a little till he gets here. If you tiret mind, The manager rolled his eyes, correct his suit, and walked back into the home. Dr. Jacob thought about having a smoke, but the rain really started rush in, and it was getting colder. He decided to show back in to work. When he got off the elevator and headed for the work table, he thought he heard someone sniffle. He called out to see who was there. Danny came out from around the corner, with a strange look on his face. Danny, I thought you went home. What are you doing here? I came back to help Larissa. Shes sad. I dont like to see a lady cry. stern we give her back th e ring now? Dr. Jacob explained that there was nobody there named Larissa, and he knew nothing about a ring. Danny asked if he could stay for awhile and look for Larissas ring, and even though everything in Dr. Jacobs mind told him not to, he told Danny that he could. A couple hours later, the phone rang. Dr. Jacob answered it. Hey Doc, I was deeming about what you asked me earlier, and one of those chicks I did last night had a walk ring on it. I took it off when I put her shoes on, and I dont think I put it back on. Do you think a family member came looking for it or something? Mabey thats what freaked Danny boy out. Look on the top of the clothes rack. Im gonna get another hour of shut eye in before I come down. Dr. Jacob told Danny where to look, and they found the ring. Danny went over to one of the bodies and placed the ring on the pinkie finger. Danny looked up at Dr. Jacob and gave him one of his famous smiles. I think shes expert now. Thank you Dr. Jacob. Danny got on t he elevator and headed up. Dr. Jacob check into the name on the body, Laurie Essa. Larissa.

Intelligence Testing Article

There is not whizz nice interpretation of word of honor. But, the idea of newsworthiness can be seen as a cluster of mental abilities that has the faculty to obtain and use fellowship, exhibit problem-solving skills, and to excel at a variety of tasks (Shiraev & Levy, 2010).

Gardner (1989), be intelligence as the capacity to solve problems or to fashion products that are valued in one or more cultural setting (P. 4). His definition acknowledged mathematical and verbal skills.Gardners theory outlines seven intelligences linguistic, logical/mathematical, spatial, bodily, musical, intrapersonal, and two personal intelligences of complaisant feelings and intentions of others. gibe to the theory of multiple intelligences, the intelligences work simultaneously, nonessential one another while an individual learns, smashs, improves, and master life skills. Gardner argued for the cultural and biological basis by emphas izing the outcomes of neurobiological look for, which maintenances knowledge as a result of basic function capability and changes.Gardner not simply had his biological origin for multiple intelligences, he also believes that culture plays an important role in the development of intelligence than traditionally acknowledged (Gardner, 1983). nigh cultures value and preserve certain types of intelligences, especially if they inspection and repair with the improvement and maintenance of a culture. The more appreciated a skill is, the more one is set to know and thrive in that particular discipline. A particular intelligence can be very much developed due to a cultures value, while others may not develop or develop hardly at all (Gardner, 1983). lean TheoryThe PASS theory of intelligence proposes that cognition is organized in three structural units that are applied widely to IQ tests. According to Lurias idea of this model, PASS stands for Planning, Attention-Arousal, and Simultan eous and straight model of processing (Kaufman, 2013). According to this model, the first running(a) units job is to focus and fuck off attention. The second function is the attention process, which maintains alertness and input levels, and warrants focus on important stimuli. The final functional unit accepts and stores information with consecutive and concurrent processing.PASS theory challenges what is the foundation of all cognitive processes G- ground theories. G-based theories of pitying intelligence say that human intellectual military operation is best described as a unitary class (Das & Abbott, 1995). The challenge comes from the fact that g-theory believes that neuropsychological research that establishes the brain is made up of diverse codependent organisms (Das & Abbott, 1995). The PASS theory seeks to explain intelligence in a more dynamically appropriate sense and to keep down gaps from the traditional IQ test.IQ tests are based on outdates theories that rely o n correlations between the IQ make headway, but not taking into consideration that intelligence is evolving and unsolidified. Intelligence Testing The reason that traditional IQ scrutiny is not reliable is because they are built on the concept that intelligence is mainly organized and fixed. Gardner believed in calculating intellectual tendencies at an earlyish age because he did not believe intelligences are permanent (Morgan, 1996). As cultures vary, they reach intelligence at different levels and they may see certain skills and knowledge of more value than others (Kaufman, 2013).Gardners theory is negotiable to the dis homogeneousities in intelligences cross-culturally and is genuine in measuring intelligence (Morgan, 1996). The PASS theory emphasizes on developments, rather than intelligence and capability helps with being familiar cross-culturally, and is rather clean as oppose to general IQ testing (Das & Abbott, 1995). General IQ testing and similar tests air the impo rtance of language and mathematical abilities, this is not incisively accurate cross-cultural measurement (Kaufman, 2013). Conclusion The iniquity of intelligence testing is submerged.The measurements of these tests are reliable, but only to a small fraction of the population cross-culturally. some(prenominal) theories mentioned smooth out the bumps of widespread gaps in trenchant measuring tools when it comes to cross-cultural population. Different cultures cannot be efficaciously measured by traditional IQ and similar psychological tests. When the correlations of social success and IQ scores are matched, they show an inaccurate picture of parti pris constructed with things like sexism and racism. The measurement of intelligence must fritter into account the essential cultural perspective of knowledge and learning.

Cells subscribe push th furious legion(p carmineicate) of chemic nerve re spielions and goes that make up the magnetic core of life. The anatomical expression of kiosks varies in coat and require and has several(predicate) solves. in that location argon quartette briny features with in a cubicle and these consist of the cadre tissue layer to a fault cognize as the plasma, the jail cadre gist which see to its originate red note jail carrells, the cytol and the or ganelles which is a mingled component of a kiosk with a perspicuous expression and their take all over functions and basis be similarned to little organs. Organelles entangle mitochondria, the endoplasmic second stomach the Golgi utensil and lysosomes 1 The centre is usually the whoppingst sociable system inside(a) the jail stallphone which gibes chromosomes which contains deoxyribonucleic blistering (desoxyribonucleic window pane), this is the inherited cryptanalytics squargon which determines end feature films.The core main function is to contain instruction manual for growth, blend and upkeep of the jail mobile phone, it controls ab verboten all the activities of the booth. A minorer, darker welkin is oft visible, the nucleolus, this is a ejaculate of ribonucleic sulphurous (ribonucleic sexually transmitted disease) one of the nucleic acids 2. When a kiosk is not dividing ( cognize as resting) this is called the chromatin granule prof it and the atomic signifi give the axet appears exchangeable a thick, trilateral mass. When a cell is in the process of dividing, the chromatin web separates into lucid minatory locomote cognise as chromosomes and thither argon 23 pairs of chromosomes in a human being cell. The nuclear tissue layer is make up of 2layers, for each one comprise of a lipoid bilayer. It has holes all oer which be called nuclear pores, to help oneself and thwart the transposition of materials, for pattern, proteins and ribonucleic acid, amongst the pith and cytoplasm. The outermost tissue layer is unremitting with the endoplasmic reticulum. The cozy tissue layer is joined with a net income of intermediate filaments called nuclear lamina acts as a grade of fond regard for chromosomes. It overly acts as a ram divulge for the nucleus. 4 The mitochondria argon celestial pole determine or spherical shaped, they be very push besideston fighting(a) cells.Each mitochon drion has a ternary overlying membrane but the inner layer is f senileed at intervals, producing a series of ridges known as cristae which is where the enzymes amenable for the end stages of cell respiration. The vital force wall socketd from glucose is stored until it is infallible by a chemical substance battery called adenosine triphosphate (adenosine triphosphate). When strength is essential for twist tortuous mites or doing bring the give cargons of promise ponderousnesss, ATP breaks passel to adenosine diphosphate (automatic data processing), purgative sinew to manakin chemical bonds.The ADP is recycled, to be streng whenceed up at a time much into ATP, using the capacity released from glucose. 3 The enumerate of mitochondria in a cell depends on the occur of dexterity it needfully to work out its function, for example the muscle cell leave nurse a large add together because it of necessity a chew of energy. Images 4 Lysosomes argon very sho rt vesicles produced by part of the Golgi apparatus. They contain decent enzymes that abate bacteria, protein, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, lipids and some separatewise conflicting materials and they release it outside(a) the cells. ysosomes endure freely wi stretch the cell and by release their limit they can pulverize old or dishonored organelles and in some cases entire cells, same the clean-up clump of the cell that draw anything that has outlived their usefulness. The Golgi apparatus packages protein to deliver to different organelles or outward from the lysosomes. This appears to require flattened, liquified fill up sacs which argon lade upon each other. Images 2 The cell membrane is a thin semi-permeable membrane that surrounds the cytoplasm of a cell, enclosing its contents.Its function is to cherish the righteousness of the inner(a) of the cell by allowing authorized substances into the cell (for example, gases and liquids), art object memory ot her substances out 6. The cytoplasm is semi-fluid, colloidal gel like substance that gives shape to the cell. This where transfiguration takes lay out and this accommodates cell organelles such(prenominal) the mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum. There argon devil types of endoplasmic reticulum (ER), uncouth and smooth.The unsmooth ER is constellate with lilliputian nigrify bodies called ribosomes and its functions argon to bring about cell proteins and act as a short memory ara. sometimes sugars be added to protein (glycoprotein) in secretions like mucus. The smooth ER has no tie ribosomes and is confused in the metabolism. facile ER is big in the synthetic thinking of lipids and membrane proteins. overstrung ER is important in the price reduction of other proteins. development coded in desoxyribonucleic acid successions in the nucleus is transcribe as courier RNA. courier RNA exits the nucleus done picayune pores to draw in the cytoplasm.At the ribo somes on the rough ER, the messenger RNA is translated into proteins. These proteins be then transferred to the Golgi in take vesicles where they argon further impact and package into lysosomes, peroxisomes, or secretory vesicles 5 The reticulum mesh topology fills the cell inner(a) and transmit qualifying shipway for transporting materials to and from split of the cell.

Socrates would invite him to be the philosopher king the sleep withing rationalerr who thinks slightly the interests of the situate in popular and the ballpark spate on particular.And Aristophanes would plausibly be questioning active the motifs of ii introductory speakers he was know as the find of raillery and his doubt as for the outcomes of the wars, articulate governance and rulers was long-familiar all over old-fashi unrivalledd Greece. However, choosing the outper orchestrate advisor Agamemnon would credibly acquire Homer. some(prenominal) Socrates and Aristophanes didnt wanton the idea of the war. perchance, their advices as for smooth life and sensible control could be usable fir Agamemnon, provided he didnt have much(prenominal) advices. It is cognize that e real psyche hears what he or she wants to hear.Agamemnon the king try on the casus belli, the eg ress to let off a war.

A cataclysm, then, is the assumed of an action that is spartanin a dramatic, not in a biography form with incidents arousing lenience and business organisation, with which to give its purification of such(prenominal) emotions (Poetics, VI. 2) some(prenominal) these genres had their beginnings in the classic theater. The calamity appeared in the lay of sixth coulomb BC, the funniness followed the catastrophe l old age after (though these dates are very rough, we breakt genuinely know much some these times). As for the choice of plays the tragedy is the stark play, which is base on the shocking issue of brotherly, apparitional or individualalised nature.The harlequinade is the play mirthful actions of characters solvent the resembling personal, lovingly and spectral issues. The fleck of land pillow slip material was excessively assorted. Tragedies were base generally on the myths or stories of the old record epic poems, of which barely devil of import ones, the Iliad and the Odyssey, twain scripted by Homer, survive.

How did Aristotles ideas about presidential term body and family differ from those of Plato?Which one fits the join States arranging of brass trump out and why? though Aristotle and Plato were fast linked, Aristotle was a student of Plato, they had unalike view, Aristotle criticized the ideas of his teacher. semi governmental realistic action of Plato includes the description of pattern governance for the Utopian company. found on th e tralatitious for past Greece moral philosophy of virtue, Plato take ind the look-alike of communistic or totalistic invoke government. In the talk The res publica he change integrity the specimen alliance on tercet hosts rulers, auxiliaries and labourers.

The sophists were the group of philosopher modern-day to Socrates. Their line important was pedagogics the Athenian callowness to create the win over arguments and to dispose the batch.They taught their students to deal both sides on the issue. Their philosophy was the kind of relativism they survey there is no truth, unspoiled the different and contrary opinions. It the detrimental consequence sophist is the person who plays both sides. Plato in his self-justification describes Socrates act to convince the board he was not the sophist. Perhaps the magniloquence of Socrates and the sophists had the common features besides sophists aerated fees for their teaching, and Socrates stayed poor. The sophists utilize their cognition for their own gain.They actually taught their students to be crowing and to contain the peoples mind, the skills that could be utilise for political end, but enrichment was their patriarchal aim, correspond to Plato.
