The title ââ¬ËBelfast Confettiââ¬â¢ is a heading that has a double importance. On one had the hand crafted bombs that the IRA utilized are alluded to as Belfast confetti because of the stray pieces they put in the shrapnel. The second is increasingly entangled. Confetti is generally utilized in the midst of festivity, for example, weddings, which is unusual as the sonnet is tied in with something totally unique to a festival. It is normally tossed over the leaders of the lady of the hour and the husband to be, so it descends upon them. Carson might be utilizing that title to make an analogy; the stray pieces flew over the head of individuals simply like confetti does. Carson presents the sonnet with far reaching references to accentuation marks utilizing words, for example, ââ¬ËExclamation Marksââ¬â¢ and ââ¬ËSentenceââ¬â¢. ââ¬Å"It was coming down shout marksâ⬠this is attempting to speak to the commotions made by falling shrapnel. By and large, outcry marks are utilized when somebody is yelling or when words should be stressed. As you can envision, the clamor of the bombs and mayhem it caused more likely than not hugy affected the commotions that were being heard, individuals shouting, alarms sounding and immense flames blasting. To comprehend the sonnet you need to dive further into the importance of the manner by which the title of the sonnet is worded. This sonnet is exceptionally turbulent which coordinates this experience. The artist likewise doesn't present any sort of meter or mood, this could be on the grounds that he needed the sonnet to be seen and perused with the disarray which the individuals felt after the bomb was exploded. This gives the sonnet more reality than it would do if there was an unmistakable structure to it. Breaking down the lines in the sonnet, I can see a pattern of logical inconsistencies and double implications. For instance ââ¬Å"All the back streets and side avenues obstructe d with stops and colonsâ⬠outwardly this line discloses to us that the getaway what blocked and there was no chance to get out of the disarray. Albeit taking a gander at the line with more profundity, that what is discoverable is that what is attempting to be said is that there will never be a way out as a result of the brutality by and large. Utilizing the word ââ¬Å"stopsâ⬠and ââ¬Å"colonsâ⬠could allude to the authors own convictions. Carson might be attempting to get a message over that everything is being done to attempt to stop the assaults is through the Governments utilization of gatherings and laws. Unexpectedly, I think the creator is attempting to state we have to critically handle this savagery withâ actions instead of letters and gatherings, consequently the statement ââ¬Å"Alleyways and side lanes hindered by stops and colonsâ⬠importance by absence of activity there will never be a way out. Moreover, another case of these inconsistencies is the line ââ¬Å"I realize this maze so well â⬠Balaklava, Raglan, Inkerman, Odessa Streetâ⬠This statement reveals to us that the creator has an association with these boulevards and knows his way round them. Carson looks at the roads to a maze, which means where a man eating Minotaur lived and was supposed to be manufactured like a labyrinth, got from Greek Mythology. This reveals to us that the lanes resembled a labyrinth, presumably because of the confusion and that there were dead individuals around. A bomb could be related with the Minotaur as it was the reason for the passings and roads to be its home as it is the spot he slaughters. The general message of the sonnet is to instruct the perusers of what it resembled to be associated with a shelling. I additionally accept that the sonnet is attempting to depict a message of attack. His old neighborhood was getting demolished before him and the main way he accepted he could show individuals this was through verse. The way that he decided to communicate his feelings through verse is a truly fascinating method of expressing what is on his mind. The entire sonnet is an all-inclusive analogy which shows the contention and how confused the sonnet is.

The United States government has consistently been determined in tending to general wellbeing. In accordance with this, the administration proposed another general wellbeing change that endeavors to obtain a more extensive inclusion of state occupants by expecting them to get a human services inclusion. As indicated by Kaisernetwork.org (2007), the change would have the accompanying arrangements: 1) Residents having 250% and beneath of neediness level would get endowments from the state; 2) Residents having up to 400% of destitution level would have the chance to expel social insurance premium costs that are past 5.5% of their pay; and 3) Residents who resign before age 65 would be given assessment credits to turn away them from spending over 10% of their protection investment funds. The arranged change endeavors a more extensive inclusion so it forbids back up plans to turn down occupants wishing to secure social insurance inclusion. Notwithstanding, pundits fight that the human services change would be unreasonable and inefficient. What's more, it would be unreasonable â⬠strategically and monetarily. Local officials, for example, myself who have a place with the nursing calling fret about the communityââ¬â¢s wellbeing. We assume a basic job in improving publicââ¬â¢s wellbeing dependent on their insight, sufficiency, and availability as referenced by Deacon (2001). Our insight as medical attendants is very depended by general society since they have broad familiarity with the networks they serve and the requirements of these. We as attendants are additionally viewed as in a situation to work for people in general since they are respected authentic people that advance wellbeing improvement. The sufficiency of medical caretakers additionally empowers individuals to privately talk about issues with them since they are seen to be a piece of a huge populace of both sick and well. Biomedicine.org (2008) stated that the commitment of medical caretakers, as myself,â to the social insurance change will be on the counts of the patient outcome quality and expenses of medicinal services. By and by, attendants can help change the current human services framework by giving considerable data to the network everywhere, along these lines teaching them with the fix and counteraction of specific sicknesses. DOH (2000) expressed that attendants are dependable of wellbeing mindfulness exercises, for example, vaccinations, malignant growth screening, and helping individuals with diabetes and asthma live powerfully. Issues with networks can likewise be tended to by medical attendants by encouraging gatherings that will instruct people with medical problems, for example, smoking and dysfunctional behavior. Most importantly, these open figures ought to be very much educated in instructive and authoritative help to be completely trusted by neighborhood networks as wellbeing professionals with the goal that they might have the option to set out precise measures to change the present medicinal services framework the general public is placed in. General human services changes are made to support state inhabitants, however a few changes are simply excessively expensive and inefficient to be valued by normal residents. By and by, medical attendants assume the urgent job of advancing wellbeing, forestalling sickness and drawing out life, regardless of what human services change the nation is placed in. In any case, for medical attendants to help change the present human services framework, they should have the option to completely use their possibilities by sharing their insight and experience to instruct and advance wellbeing mindfulness; surveying the data, wordings, and idea accessible to them and making openings, for example, bolster gatherings to share new data and encounters which are concurred to them, as referenced by GANM (2006).

Its interesting how life changes. A year ago, college applications were at the forefront of my mind. I scrapped essays relentlessly and questioned everything about myself, whether the things I liked and loved to do were likeable enough, whether I was even an interesting person after all. Now, there are much simpler things on my mind, like: There is a physics pset due tomorrow. I am hungry. I need food. I should read more poetry for class. Where did I leave my bike? In senior year, I stressed about grades, especially during the first quarter. I feared that colleges would reject me on basis of senior fall grades alone. Yesterday, I couldnt have been more ecstatic about a 63 on my 3.091 midterm. Even under the graces of Pass No Record, I feel stressed out: it builds throughout the week and peaks on Thursday, then fades sharply by Friday and hits a minimum sometime during the weekend before starting up again. But my Thursdays are nowhere near as stressful as they might have been one year prior. If you were like me last year, I understand. I get that its almost impossible to tell you not to worry as much as you are right now. This is the next (four) years of your life that were talking about, and thats no trivial matter. If youre in a lot better of a place stress-wise, thats really great and I hope things stay that way for you. :) With the size of the header corresponding to things of more subjective importance, here are some things I do to keep myself sane: Poi Poi is a member of the spinning art family and consists of spinning two weighted objects on the ends of two strings in cool patterns. I first got introduced to poi during hall rush and the Activities Midway, both of which took place during orientation. I was mesmerized by all the pretty sequences of possible tricks: weaves, windmills, fountains, buzzsaws, flowers, stalls the list goes on and on. Poi has become a sort of meditation for me, where I can just let go of stress and let my thoughts roam free like the weights that spin around my body in playful arcs. me doing a butterfly ^^; A slightly more dangerous but super fun version of poi is lighting them on fire! I got fire safety trained with my friend so we can safety each other if we want to fire spin. :p The cost of poi is nontrivial but not too much: I bought a pair of LED poi off Amazon for around $20, but you can make your own for much cheaper. Toons Prior to MIT, I have never done or wished to do acapella in my life. On a whim, I decided to audition for Toons, one of the many acapella groups on campus. (To be honest with you, the fact that Allan was also in Toons and running the booth at the Midway slightly influenced my decision.) To my surprise, I got a callback! And to my greater surprise, I found that as I was singing harmonies with all the members of Toons at that callback, I really enjoyed it. It, like poi, gave me this rare feeling of being free. But singing with other people makes you feel warmer and fuzzier inside. The night after the callback, someone knocked on my door at 12:30am. I opened the door and saw all of Toons circled around my door. They then proceeded to sing Thank You (our signature song) to me in my boxers. It was amazing. Toons is like my second family. We just performed our first gig at the MFA. I love Toons. :) Sleep Sleep is pretty much one of the best things you can do, generally speaking. Sleep is pretty darn great. I highly recommend this. oh god i need more sleep i never have enough Games Sometimes I get sick of being stuck on psets, but my friends arent immediately available to hang out since theyre all in the same boat as me. A good game that helps me to take my mind off of things is osu! (The games title actually has an exclamation point.) Its a rhythm game like Guitar Hero, but instead of pressing five buttons and a strummer you have to move your cursor and click on circles that pop up on your screen. It has a learning curve, but once you get the hang of it its pretty fun. Its also really good for just playing a few minutes at a time when you need a short break! Boston/Silly Things Sometimes you need to get away from campus, as wonderful as it is. I went to ICA and the MFA earlier this week with a good friend, which was a very fun and much-needed escape. (Contemporary art is cool. I dig it.) the ica is pretty here is a cool liz deschenes piece I also went to the aquarium! I saw turtles! And penguins! Aaaaaaaa theyre so cute angry turtle cute penguins Earlier today I went on a Toscaninis run with some others and guessed how long it would take to run from the entrance of 77 Mass Ave, i.e. the top of the steps, to the other side of the street. We then tested this empirically, several times. (It turns out seven seconds is very doable.) Ive been doing a fair amount of things spontaneously, which I recommend from time to time. Hopefully you have your own things that you do for fun that also helps you to destress. Its kind of strange and scary how quickly November 1st is approaching. If you feel the same way, dont hesistate for a second to shoot me an email if you want to talk. Ive been there, weve all been there. Take a deep breath. Youre almost done. :) a pretty boston harbor: i think its a requisite now for 20 bloggers to append a pretty picture to the end of their posts?

The Elizabethan value consensus highlights the difference in gender roles, with societal expectations being defined by the divine order. The limitations of social mobility provide a strong platform for the theme of power to be embedded upon, with characters such as Desdemona and Emilia representing the struggle that women faced living in a dominant patriarchal society. The power struggles between England and Scotland during 1603 when ââ¬ËOthelloââ¬â¢ is believed to have been written, perhaps influenced Shakespeareââ¬â¢s portrayal of gender conflict. In contrast, Williams propels gender dynamics to the forefront of ââ¬ËA Streetcar Named Desireââ¬â¢, representing power through sexual desire and oppression. The conflict of gender roles is demonstrated through dependency, provid ing an emotive commentary on the social upheaval that surrounded 1947 America. Throughout ââ¬ËOthelloââ¬â¢, many characters develop powerful traits as relationships progress into new and challenging dynamics. When Othello tries to convince Brabantio and the Duke of his marriage to Desdemona, his poetic language creates an emphatic dreamlike quality that allows him to build an authoritative control.

The play Othello, written around 1603 by William Shakespeare, with the villain character Iago, is characterized as a jealous, hubris, sinister, crafty, and manipulative being. William Shakespeare has managed to write a tragic play where he used Iagoââ¬â¢s malicious words to provide early Classical Conditioning, to cloud Othelloââ¬â¢s mind of critical thoughts, turning him into a jealous zombie; this shows that Iago would go to any means necessary, whether it was murder or manipulation, to achieve his goal. Iagoââ¬â¢s main goal was to demote Cassio, a young man appointed by Othello to be second in command, by tricking Othello into believing that Cassio and Desdemona, Othelloââ¬â¢s wife, were engaged in sexual activities. Iago became jealous of Othelloââ¬â¢s promotion to Cassio, making him want to seek his revenge on Othello.

Few things are quite as difficult, arguably even impossible; to discern as the mind of an author when all one has to interpret their thinking is a piece of artistic work. When this difficulty is compounded by hundreds of years of distance from the authorââ¬â¢s time of existence, it easy to transmit ones desired meanings and intentions on an aspect of a work that the author had not even an inkling of desire to put forth. Nevertheless, arguments can be made, tested, and broken with what little knowledge one possesses. Shakespeare no doubt had little conception of what ââ¬Å"Feminismâ⬠in any modern or even outdated sense is. However, in presenting some of his morality through the character of Emilia and her interactions with the men in her life he may have foresaw some of its patterns if not itââ¬â¢s resolutions. Emili aââ¬â¢s first scene introduces her alongside her husband Iago. After Cassio shows her courtesy by kissing her, Iago reacts by implying that she is unworthy of such courtesy as she is too talkative for a proper lady. This could be interpreted as an expression of jealousy, of claiming Emiliaââ¬â¢s inferiority while asserting ownership of her. Emilia objects with Desdemona showing some solidarity and Iago responds by emphatically insisting on her duplicity of nature and crudely referencing her sexuality.

Chapter 13 takes the fundamental ideas and theories of bargaining and jumps into an in depth discussion focused on how each person in a particular bargaining situation is represented. Hirshman and Larson examine an individualââ¬â¢s life and classify the various sexual bargains that said individual might experience at some point in their life and classify them into five subsections. During this discussion, the title of the book itself, Hard Bargains, is used heavily to describe theseâ⬠¦show more contentâ⬠¦As soon as one of the individuals in the given situation refuses to allow for the bargaining conversation to take place and proceeds without the given consent, it is now considered rape. With todayââ¬â¢s laws regarding sexual assault, the only way to avoid the committal of a crime is to have this clea r conversation regarding consent. ââ¬Å"By forcing the stronger player to bargain with the weaker player for consent, we begin to ensure mutuality as a condition for all adult sexual exchanges. Each party will get a fair and reliable chance to ask for something of what he or she wants from the sexâ⬠(271). There is extremely sound logic and moral ground behind the laws that todayââ¬â¢s society has in place to make it illegal for adults to have sexual relations with teens and children, whether it is consensual or not. This brings us to our next notion of bargaining, in which the authors discuss the bargaining between adults and teens/children. ââ¬Å"In childhood and adolescence, a few years represents a lot of development, and age differences can mean great differences in reason, judgment, and powerâ⬠(272). When an individual goes through their pubescent stages in life, not only is there a voluminous list of physical changes noticed, but also there are many chemical a nd emotional changes that may go unnoticed.

Ethiopia Essay, Research Paper It is evident that art alterations or varies with clip, manner, economic system of the clip, every bit good as single creative persons. Plants of art may differ every bit good as be similar in composing, painting manner, capable affair, and what the creative person is seeking to pass on. I will be utilizing these standards to analyse and compare two plants of art, in peculiar: The Trapped Thief by Nicholaes new wave Galen ( 1650 ) and Ethiopia by David Park ( 1959 ) . Both of these plants can be found on show at the University of Miami Lowe Art Museum ; The Trapped Thief in the Sheldon and Myrna Palley Gallery, and Ehiopia in the Ben Tobin Gallery. I chose these two pictures out of the full aggregation of plants because I found that they shared assorted elements every bit good as contrasted with each other vastly. The composing, the manner the objects are arranged in the work country, in these two pieces was handled in similar manner. The Trapped Thief contained a stealer acquiring caught in the center of his rip-off by a nun. The figures are about lifesize and practically make full up the full canvas. The placement of their weaponries, legs, and organic structures express a sense of motion as we are looking at a brief minute in the thick of the action. They are placed over a field dark background in order to put stress on the existent figures and the action, non what # 8217 ; s traveling on around them. In Ethiopia, the composing of the figures in relation to the remainder of the picture is treated in a similar yet really different manner. The figures are besides lifesize and take up about the full canvas ; nevertheless, there is small motion expressed through their position and stance. A simple background that is comprised of colourss to congratulate the remainder of the image surrounds them. I found that this was a more effectual compositional component because it made efficient usage of the full workspace wi thout pulling attending from the chief figures of the work. Both pictures handled the agreement of it # 8217 ; s elements in their ain effectual manner ; whether it was go forth the accent on the chief figures or to congratulate them. In discoursing the picture manner, we find that these two plants were treated really otherwise in this facet. Let us get down by comparing the coppice techniques used in composing each picture. With minimum attempt, one could easy see that The Trapped Thief was done with really soft and careful coppice shots in order to capture as much item as possible. This can be seen in the crisp and clear eyes of the stealer every bit good as in every cranny and furrow in the vesture. In Ethiopia, the brushwork is rather the opposite with really rash and expressionistic shots used lay the pigment over the canvas. The figures # 8217 ; faces are implied with individual coppice shots instead than several carefully painted characteristics. It seems that the creative person, David Park, has left it to the imaginativenesss of the spectator to see the figures and fill in the inside informations in their ain eyes. Both coppice techniques pro ved to be really effectual and aesthetically delighting in my sentiment. With these differences between the two plants, we can besides happen some noticeable similarities. Nicholaes new wave Galen ( The Trapped Thief ) chose to make delicate and gradual blends of shadow and visible radiation while keeping a strong contrast in illuming. The lighting in both pictures was treated likewise as they both had a strong visible radiation beginning reflecting on the figures and making really solid shadows in their thick. This strong contrast of darks and visible radiations creates a sense of infinite and dimension which proved effectual in catching this art admirerââ¬â¢s attending. Although both creative persons used oil pigments as their medium for these peculiar plants yet they achieved really different consequences. In analyzing these facets, we begin to see that utilizing different techniques in painting can convey approximately different consequences even when utilizing the same medium . The capable affair in these two pictures besides varies between the two. The Trapped Thief focuses on a scene in which the stealer is being apprehended by one of the nun that he is stealing from. # 8211 ; The stealer and the nun are made to be the centrepiece of the work and there is small or no attending paid to the milieus. I don # 8217 ; t believe the creative person is seeking to state anything or do a remark with this peculiar work, instead he has attempted to capture a minute and decently stand for what is traveling on. In my sentiment, he was successfully achieved this end. When I look at this picture, I envision this scene go oning before my eyes in full gesture and in life colour. In Ethiopia, the capable affair is the bare figures standing facing outwards towards the spectator. The scene is ill-defined as it is painted in a really expressionistic mode, which makes it hard to separate anything other than the standing figures. Unlike in The Trapped Thief, I think the creati ve person here is seeking to paint a scene that is more elusive and without motion. The figures all stand in about the same place insinuating that they are non traveling about, instead they are presenting. Possibly the creative person felt it was more of import to stress the signifiers and colourss instead than an action sequence. Both creative persons seem to show their vision and thoughts about what is of import in their work otherwise. In reexamining what we have discussed, it is evident that works of art are unfastened to interpretation both from the spectator # 8217 ; s point of view every bit good as the creative person who is making it. The creative person will ever show him or herself artistically in the mode that they deem to be most appropriate for the thought they wish to exemplify. Nicholaes new wave Galen ( The Trapped Thief ) and David Park ( Ethiopia ) chose assorted similar techniques and thoughts in making these graphicss while keeping their distinguishable thoughts and techniques. I found that both pictures were successful in accomplishing their ends in their ain manner, whether it was to be aesthetically delighting or to show what the creative person was seeking to capture in his work. 342 Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-507810596326224133.post-55412332215041369482020-04-06T01:19:00.001-07:002020-04-06T01:19:01.806-07:00In the Name of God free essay sample Examines the politics and the religious fervor behind the seven major Crusades carried out in the middle ages. This paper provides an in-depth discussion of the Crusades, the military expeditions which Christians undertook from the eleventh to the thirteenth century to recover the Holy Land from the Muslims.

So if you feel that an in-person school isn't right for you for whateverreason, an online school might be the perfect fit. Weââ¬â¢ll give you a list of all the (tuition free!) online high schools available in the United States, as well as how they work, and how and why an online high school could be right for you. So let's get started! What Is an Online High School? Anonline high school is any school that teaches and takes place virtually, rather than in-person. Some online high schools are hybrid programs where students must spend a portionof their time in a physical location, but a fully online high school program takes place completelyvirtually. Students in completeonlineprograms do not go to a physical building to learn each day, but instead are allowed to learn in any place with an internet connection, takingcourses online and typically interacting with their teachers via virtual classrooms, through email, and/or over the phone. A typical school day for students enrolled in online high schools is much like a typical day for other public school students, with about 5-6 hours spent learning and engaging in classwork, and additional time spent on homework. So, although studentscan generally set their own schedules with an online school, the amount of time required for coursework and studies remainsthe same whether the school takes place online or in person. In addition to the standard coursework,many online high school programs offer school activities, trips, contests, and virtual clubs to help students interact and get to know one another. So online students can often reap many of the same the benefits they could get from an in-person school, with all the additional perks of attending school online. Different Types of OnlineHigh Schools Just like physical schools, online highschools can be divided into two broad categories of public and private schools. And just like physical schools, the differences between the two types can be broken down like so: Online publichighschools(which can also becharter schools) use state-licensed and certified teachers, charge NO tuition, follow state education standards, and award you with a legal high school diploma upon completion of the required credits and courses. These schools are government funded, just like physical public schools. Online private high schools follow their own education requirements and standards (rather than state standards),charge tuition,and will ultimately award you with a high school diploma once you have completed the program. These schools are privately funded, just like with physical private schools. Whether private or public, manyonline schools require theirstudents to be a resident of the state or a particular school district, while other schools accept studentswho live inany stateor school district (or students who have no fixed address). Other online schools accept out of state students, but charge them tuition that in-state students do not have to pay. Ultimately, it's up to the applicant to double-check whether the school of their choice has any restrictions based on student address. Not every state has an online public school, so studentswho live in one of these states (or students who have no fixed address) and want to attend high school online must either enroll inan online school thataccepts out of state students or in a private online high school. If money is your main concern, then public school is definitely the way to go.

If you're thinking about enrolling in an online public school, you may want to think about whether these reasons apply to you and your circumstances. Schedule and Study Flexibility Taking courses online, rather than in person, allows students to set their own study schedules. So long as you engage in the school program for the necessary number of hours per week and complete your assignments, most programs allow you to study when and where you want. So if you're someone who hasan outside interestthattakes considerable time and needs to be scheduled arounddedicated athletes, artists, peopleworking full time, or anyone else who has tocommithours outside of school every weekattending high school online can give you the necessary flexibility to balance school with your other activities. Can Set Your Own Learning Pace Online high schools allow students to learn at their own pace, whether that pace is faster or slower than that of a typical physical public school.Because the courses in an online program are self-directed, this allows students to settheir own learning speed,rather than feeling frustrated that aclass is going too fast or too slow based on the needs of a whole group ofstudents. So if you are an academic achiever who wants to get ahead of your grade/age level, or are someone who is falling behind academically and need to slow down from your grade/age level, an online high school experience might be the right fit for you. Can Study From Home or on the Move There are an endless variety of reasons why taking classes and studying from home may be preferableto taking classes at a physical school. For these people, taking classes online is the perfect way to stay in school without being beholden to attending school physically. Perhaps you have a family that frequently moves and so cannot stay in one place for long enough to attend aphysical school. Perhaps you are someone who doesn't have easy access to a physical school or feels that nearby schools are unsuitable for whatever reason.Or perhaps you aresomeonewitha chronic medical condition or someone who needs to be otherwise home bound. Whatever the reason you may find taking classes from home is more suitable than taking classes outside the home, online high schools can provide the accommodationand adaptability that so many students need to complete their studies An Option for Teenagers or Adults Who Never Finished High School On average, people who receivea high school diploma earnmore than those who receivea GED. So, if you're someone who never attended or completed high school for any reason, you might think about earning an official diploma rather than testing out for your GED. An online high school program could be the right fit for you if younever completed high school, butstill want the complete high school experienceandan accredited diploma to show for it. What's Next?

Al., 2005). In the international context, HRM issues are quite prominent and therefore an in-depth understanding of such issues is quite significant. Various theories and frameworks of HRM are present which can be applicable for managing the people working in the international arena (Lucas & Et. Al., 2007). Best Practice HRM is considered as the notion that human resource practice tends to work in an effective way if they are introduced in correlated and equally reinforcing bundles (Redman & Wilkinson, 2009). The literatures on human resource management suggest that the policies and the procedures related to the functions of human resource must be coordinated with the business strategy (Rollinson & Et. Al., 1998). On the other hand, the term ââ¬Ëorganisational behaviourââ¬â¢ (OB) implies the study and the application of knowledge regarding how the â⬠Ëindividualsââ¬â¢, ââ¬Ëpeopleââ¬â¢ and ââ¬Ëgroupsââ¬â¢ behave in the organisation.... Changing Landscape of HRM and Organisational Behaviour It has been mentioned by Jamrog and Overholt in their study that since last 100 years there has been continuous shift in the role of the human resource professionals and there has been addition of more responsibilities in the work of these professionals. According to the research of the authors, there has been major shifts in the functions of HR and it has developed through numerous stages starting from medieval time to industrial revolutions, from scientific management to human relations movements and finally to current strategic business partner model. In the ancient times, the HR has mainly tried to focus its attention towards the administrative facets of the human resource management. However, in the recent times, the strident call forced the HRM to become a strategic business partner. It is quite significant to comprehend the differences between the Human Resource Management (HRM) and the Strategic Human Resource Management (SHRM). When the traditional HRM is taken into consideration, it is noted that traditional HRM is generally transactional in nature and aims at providing administrative support to the people working in the organisation in terms of staffing, compensation, recruitment and benefits. It has been paradigm change from the administrative facets of the human resource management that has led to the development of SHRM. In SHRM, a new set of value added roles and responsibilities have been inculcated to functions of the HRM. The prime importance of the SHRM is that of the strategic business partner. It is the SHRM that helps the companies to achieve competitive advantage and therefore assist the business managers to plan Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-507810596326224133.post-29068171690599526422020-02-05T08:19:00.001-08:002020-02-05T08:19:03.177-08:00International Contract jurisdiction hypothetical EssayInternational Contract jurisdiction hypothetical - Essay Example breach of contract committed in Queensland, regardless of where the contract was made and whether or not the breach was preceded of accompanied by a breach...rendering impossible the performance of a part of the contract that ought to be performed in Queenslandâ⬠(Uniform Civil Procedure Rules 1999 (124)(1)(i)). In this case, the rules probably will not give the court jurisdiction. The contract was not made in Queensland ââ¬â the contract was executed in England. It also states that service is permitted if the contract is governed by the law of Queensland. The contract did not state which law governed, so this clause does not have effect. So, now the other two clauses must be examined ââ¬â that service would be permitted if the breach of contract was committed in Queensland. Was the breach of contract committed in Queensland? Probably not. The breach occurred in England, as the consignment was packed in England, and the packing of the consignment was the cause of the damage. The other clause is that service is permitted when the contract is made by one or more parties carrying on business or residing in Queensland. The contract was executed by Global Freighting in England, and they do not reside in Queensland. However, they are carrying on business in Queensland, so this might be a basis for service. However, the term ââ¬Å"carrying on businessâ⬠is kind of vague ââ¬â is it enough that Global Freighting made a contract with a Queensland company ââ¬â would this be considered to be ââ¬Å"carrying on business?â⬠If this is not a basis for jurisdiction, then we need to look at other connecting factors. They are residence, domicile or presence of defendant in the courts jurisdiction (Akbarali v. Brent LBC). In this case, none of these connecting factors are present ââ¬â defendant does not reside in Queensland, is not domiciled and has never been to Queensland. Therefore, connecting factors would not give Queensland jurisdiction either.

I requested my father to refrain from hiring a contractor to install central air conditioner. The trigger being the fact that I had learnt fundamentals of Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) during my Bachelors of Mechanical Engineering and I wanted to gain some more knowledge in my Masters degree, only to design my own HVAC system in my newly built house. I studied Refrigeration and Air Conditioning (RAC) in UNSW, Sydney in the same time and completed a project under Professor Dr. Chris Menictas. Background CE 3.2 The day is still vivid clear in my mind. I was in sixth grade when my father had to throw food in the bin as it went stale due to broken fridge. The technician came in to fix the black round box (later I learnt it was a compressor) I welcomed him with lots of annoying questions. He was patient enough to quench my thirst of questions and before leaving he handed me out a mini booklet which was nothing less than a wonderland. The book taught me about the essentials and importance of Refrigeration and how our life is predominantly dependent on it. The curiosity and drive to know more about it landed me in my Bachelors degree of Mechanical Engineering as the prospectus was full of the RAC (Refrigeration and Air Conditioning) course insights. Since then, I had never looked back and grew more confident to fit air conditioning system in my home. UNSW is rated amongst the top ranked universities around the globe. State of the art laboratories and updated softwares always give you an added advantage over your peers. Blessed enough to widen my engineering horizons in UNSW, I came across an RAC software named as CAMEL which trimmed my engineering skills in a positive way. I would sit in the laboratory and play with it for hours to pick up my game and I did very well as in the same course I was honored to head a project and perform heating and cooling load calculations of a newly constructed building composed of two floors divided into two zones upper zone , Z1 lower zone Z2. Nature of Project CE 3.3 This project included the calculation of heating and cooling load of two story building. The calculations were done manually and through famous load calculation software known as CAMEL. Furthermore, it also included different suggestions and techniques on how load reduction can be achieved in the apartment through variations in apartments structures. Objective of the Project CE 3.4 The overall objective of the project was to get real life experience related to load calculations of practical situations. Latent and sensible load had to be calculated including all the real-world possibilities and safety factors. In this project, the calculations of heating and cooling loads of a newly built building are performed. The building comprises of two floors. Ground floor has three sections and first floor has two sections. VRV (Variable Refrigerant Volume) units as air-conditioning were chosen for each level. Other than this, a couple of suggestions were made on reduction of load and increasing the air-conditioning capacity. Nature of My Particular Work Area CE 3.5 In this project, I was acting as the team lead role. I was responsible for several tasks of which some are listed below: I performed initial readings for the project I coordinated between my professor and team members. I was responsible for project planning and progress tracking. I calculated the loads of ground floor through manual calculation. I compared the manual results to the results of CAMEL software. I compiled the report and made technical presentation The way I implemented my project and people management strategies, led my team mates follow in the same footprints to lead their own projects. The chain reaction feed back of developing leaders came to me as a joy and I take pride in it. CE 3.6 Organizational Structure Personal Engineering Activity CE 3.7 First, I divided the project into four major parts and summoned a meeting of my other team members to designate their duties. I made a report on Primavera to set deadlines for the project. One partner was allocated the load calculation of first floor, one was assigned to do software simulations on CAMEL and last one had to make suggestions on how to decrease the load through changes in structures of home. I emailed all of this to my professor too. CE 3.8 To calculate the load manually, I had to use the manual DA-09 to get all the values related to the correction factors, transmission coefficients, absorptivity, reflectivity. My supervisor helped me in understanding how to use the manual. CAMEL was a new software for all of us. So, there were two lab sessions designed to familiarize ourselves with software. Supervisor helped us with all the basics of the software. To get good experience of using it I decided to arrange meetings of all group members so that we could sit together and learn as much as we could through the tutorials and knowledge of individuals. These meetings also helped to understand the manual DA-09, which was very important. As for the most of the calculations we had to get data from the manual. At weekends, every group member had to present the work done during the week. It helped in keeping the track of the progress. These informal meetings helped to keep the harmony and understanding among the group members. If someone was lagging, he was encouraged and helped if required. CE 3.9 I kicked off with the first tier which was research on internet and read books and discussed it with my professor. My major job was to calculate heating and cooling load of ground floor. I researched the major factors of heating a certain place. I made a complete list of them and started with calculations on each of these things. I also made a list of assumptions and the design parameters we already have from our professor. CE 3.10 The second most important task was to know the structure of ground floor. This was already provided to us by our professor. Below is the table which contains all the required data to calculate the loads of the ground floor. CE 3.11 Calculations followed next. The first calculation was of heat gain through each component of the room i.e. floor, roof, walls, windows, electric appliances, doors, glass walls etc. The basic formula used to calculate heat gain through glass windows is given below. Area * Q (w/m2) * correction = Heat gain Solar heat gain is represented by Q. And every glass window has its own correction factor. These values were taken from the manual DA-09. This formula was used for every glass component which was facing sunlight directly. Sample calculations for the glass on west and north are given below: Table 1: Solar heat gain through reference glass (w/m^2) Table 2: Solar characteristics and glass factors West: 2 * 0.9 * 1.2 * 470* 0.94/0.85= 1122.7 W (2 windows .9 x 1.2 m each 0.85 cooling coil efficiency) North: 2* 0.9 * 1.2 * 85 * 0.94/0.85=203.04 W The values of solar heat gain and correction factors were taken from the table 1 2 respectively. CE 3.12 The next part was to calculate solar and transmission gain through walls and roof. Now the equation for heat transfer through the wall is: Q = (Area) * (Equivalent Temperature Differences) * U Here, U represents transmission co-efficient and the value for transmission co-efficient for the material was taken from the manual. Sample calculations for the transmission gain through West, North and South walls are given below. Values for U and Equivalent temperature difference are taken from Table 3 4. Table 3: Equivalent temperature difference (C0) Table 4: Transmission coefficient U-masonry walls (W/m2C) West: 18.84 * 12.8 * 2.01 = 484.71 w North: 12.84 * 16.1 * 2.01 = 415.51 w South: 12.71 * 6.7 * 2.01 = 171.165 w Total Solar and transmission through walls is 1071.385 w CE 3.13 Transmission gain through partitions between different rooms on ground level, doors, glass walls, floor, ceilings were also calculated for correct estimation of the total load. Transmission coefficient for each surface was different due to their material and was taken directly from the manual. Area and temperature difference of each surface was calculated before calculating heat gain. CE 3.14Temperature of the car park was more than the temperature on the ground level so heat was to be transmitted through the floor. To calculate this, I simply calculated the temperature difference, transmission coefficient of the floor and area. For ceiling, because the temperature is the same on the both sides, so, there was no heat transmission through ceiling. CE 3.15 The next part is to calculate the internal heat due to people present in the room. Number of people, diversity factor and heat gain from people was used to calculate the sensible heat gain through people. I used the following equation for this. Q = no of people * diversity factor * heat gain from people It was assumed that the number of males and females were equal. Metabolic factor for the female is 0.85male. Diversity factor and heat gain from people were taken from the manual. CE 3.16 The next step was to calculate the heat from the light sources on the ground floor. Different assumptions were made on the area of ground floor that how much light intensity would be needed. Then based on this light intensity the heat from the lightening sources were calculated. The equation used for this purpose was. Q = Area (m2) * 20 (watt/m2) * diversity factor * storage load CE 3.17Now the next step was to calculate heat generated from different appliances in the room. We had to assume all the devices that can be present in a generic apartment. These include coffee maker, dishwashers, refrigerators and stuff like this. Manual was to take the value of heat gain for different appliances. A range of different appliances was included in the manual. Based on these things the load calculation was done. Similarly, calculations were made about the food being cooked in the kitchen. Safety factor of 5% was used while calculating the total sensible heat from all the sources to tackle any mistake while calculating the load CE 3.18 Internal load had two components; sensible, latent. After calculating total sensible heat, I calculated the total latent heat as well. Safety factor of 5% was used for the total latent heat. After the heat gain was calculated from different resources I had to add these values and calculate the end results. Below tables show the end results of these values. Zone 1 represents the ground floor. CE 3.19 After calculating the total heat gain in summers, all the calculations were repeated using the conditions for the winters and heat loss was calculated for all individual components. Which was in the added up to get the total heat loss in winters. Qs represents the heat gain in summers and Qw represents the heat loss in the winters. Table 5: Results for zone1 (sensible and latent heat) CE 3.21 Now next step was to compare the results of these with simulation results. Me and my colleague compared the results. There was a little bit of difference in the results. This was since CAMEL is advanced software and it accounts for every little thing. Manual calculations are very long process and there is always a little chance of error in it. CE 3.22 To suggest any structural changes in the building for the reduction of overall load, I added different features in the structure i.e. added shades on the windows, reduced the windows area, used different partition materials and wall thickness. I used the CAMEL simulation to see the effect of these changes. By changing some of these parameters I could reduce the load to some extent. Summary: CE 3.23 The day I completed this project I called my dad and asked him to send me blue prints of the house. I started comparing my experimental calculations with my house loads to procure optimum ventilation system components. After three weeks of hard work, I installed the system in my house. I think for me it was nothing less than pulling off a miracle. Starting off with the HVAC basics book, given by the technician to the HVAC course in my Bachelors, then earning a Masters degree and finally ending up designing my own HVAC system based on those heating and cooling calculations reference was nothing less than a dream come true. I really do feel proud of my efforts. So, I would like to conclude by saying that this project helped me achieve my goals to speak of which, as of now, I am on a video call with my dad back in Pakistan who is sitting in that comfy room.

In the essay ââ¬Å"Severing the Human Connectionâ⬠by H. Bruce Miller there is a valid argument that our society has turned for the worse. In the past our society has expected everyone to behave in a manner which benefits everyone in it, everyone should respect and cherish the freedom and therefore the freedom should stay. But as we all see and experience every day there is a strong fear of detection and punishment which becomes the only deterrent of crime. Pre-paid gas stations, burglar alarms in every house, guards everywhere, anti-shoplifting tags etc. People tend to behave pretty much the way others expect them to behave. And, as stated in the essay, if the prevailing assumption is that people are crooks more and more of them will be crooks. Because our society treats everyone like a criminal our society has become harsh, unfeeling, pa ranoid, and punitive. The human connection has been severed. à à à à à A society, which assumes its members are honest, tends to be more human and comfortable for the people who live in it. As we drive down the streets of our respected cities we have to worry about certain things like; Is my seatbelt on? Does my license plate show 100%? Am I driving within the five mile per hour cushion of the speed limit? Etc. And as we wonder about all these things we pass cops left and right who are just waiting for someone to mess up or be suspected of DWI or car theft or something even worse. Is it just me or is it annoying to see a selected few criminals who do break the laws ruin it for the rest of us who donââ¬â¢t. Now we have to worry about making small mistakes, which is very uncomfortable to most of us, and sometimes can lead to bigger problems. ââ¬Å"Society can and does execute its own mandates; and if it issues wrong mandates instead of right, or any mandates at all in things with which it ought not to meddle, it practices a social tyranny more formidable than many kinds of political oppression, since, though not usually upheld by such extreme penalties, it leaves fewer means of escape, penetrating much more deeply into the details of life, and enslaving the soul itself.

Some way that the history of policing is related to community policing is better than others. Well as we know that community policing focuses on crime and social disorder through the delivery of police services that includes aspects of traditional law enforcement, as well as prevention, problem solving, community engagement, and partnerships. Community policing also model balances reactive responses to call for service with proactive problem solving centered on the causes of crime and disorder. Community policing requires police and citizens to join together as partners. The community policing had a strong history, during the history of policing. Community police increased interest in how to best involve citizens in the crime problems solution. They also increased experimentation on methods for preventing crime, including a number of studies on the impact of foot patrol. Community policing and variation on it have became the operating philosophy and underlie much of police practice today. Moreover, community policing has became a powerful organizing theme that continues to shape how police departments deliver services, particularly at the local level of government. The history of community policing began to relate to policing in the beginning in the early 1970s, police began to experiment with ways that putted them into closer interaction with the public. But, the community relation movement had begun in the late 1940ââ¬â¢s and into the 1950ââ¬â¢s. This then influenced this transition for policing, as did the rise of alternative forms of policing such as team policing. In both the community relations movement and team policing, there was an attempt to create more public support for the police, while at the same time providing them with a clearer role in community public safety.

Children live in poverty are at an increased rate of risk and negative outcomes. Poverty affects the person s life and increased die numbers. The children are more affected by poverty problems than adults, which had downsides on their future. Further, one in five children in the United states are from households below the poverty line, and among the most developed nations in the world, the United States ranks second highest in child poverty (UNICEF, 2012). There are several factors affects children engaging in class likewise, health, relationship, and hope. Health problem is a considerable issue, especially if it will affect our children life and future. Poor people are likely to have diseases and health problem. A study by two prominent neuroscientists suggested that intelligence is linked to health (Gray and Thompson, 2004). Some studies indicate that the health problems affect the attention, memory, and learning skills. A case in point, it is known that the breakfast is an important meal for the body health; so imagine that the poor student does not have this meal, it will affect their health and their class performance .In addition, if they do not remember what they had in class because of poor diet, they will not engage and try to be more activate during the class activities.

A college exists to educate and to advance a student s knowledge. Colleges do so by acting as a ââ¬Å"marketplace of ideasâ⬠where ideas compete. It is important to be able to compare your ideas with everyone else as it helps to open your mind to other peopleââ¬â¢s views and can give you a different perception on things. In the article ââ¬Å"The Coddling of the American Mind,â⬠Jonathan Haidt and Greg Lukiankoff talked about how too many college students engage in ââ¬Å"catastrophizing, which is in short, the overreaction to something. They also said that ââ¬Å"smart people do, in fact, overreact to innocuous speech, make mountains out of molehills, and seek punishment for anyone whose words make anyone else feel uncomfortable.â⬠(Haidt) Many colleges have the belief that prohibit ing freedom of speech will resolve such issues. But instead, colleges should take a different approach on the matter by teaching students how to properly utilize their Freedom of Speech which will help to resolve future conflicts and misunderstandings. There are also many cases of verbal violence erupting due to studentââ¬â¢s lack of properly expressing their thoughts. In many of these cases, the students are overreacting and taking things out of proportion.

This file is of the 1911 edition of The Philosophical Works of Descartes (Cambridge University Press), translated by Elizabeth S. Haldane. Prefatory Note To The Meditations. The first edition of the Meditations was published in Latin by Michael Soly of Paris ââ¬Å"at the Sign of the Phoenixâ⬠in 1641 cum Privilegio et Approbatione Doctorum. The Royal ââ¬Å"privilegeâ⬠was indeed given, but the ââ¬Å"approbationâ⬠seems to have been of a most indefinite kind. The reason of the book being published in France and not in Holland, where Descartes was living in a charming country house at Endegeest near Leiden, was apparently his fear that the Dutch ministers might in some way lay hold of it. His friend, Pere Mersenne, took charge of its publication in Paris and wrote to him about any difficulties that occurred in the course of its progress through the press. The second edition was however published at Amsterdam in 1642 by Louis Elzevir, and this edition was accompanied by the now completed ââ¬Å"Objections and Replies.â⬠1 The edition from which the present translation is made is the second just mentioned, and is that adopted by MM. Adam and Tannery as the more correct, for reasons that they state in detail in the preface to their edition. The work was translated into French by the Duc de Luynes in 1642 and Descartes considered the translation so excellent that he had it published some years later.

Answer: The report details about the case of AlAin Municipality (AAM) which released the plan of the ELMS management system for the process of automation of the lands and the properties. It also worked on the manual processing as well as the electronic processing. The electronic system has been effective for the customer satisfaction where there is easy processing of the transactions as well. (Iyengar et al, 2015). The concept of management information system is based on providing the right kind of information that is required to manage the company in an effective manner. With this, the AAM will also be able to work on the easy scanning of the customer documents which will decrease the time of checking the customer files. The electronic approval authority also tends to reduce the customer time with the ability to track the flow of work for the approval. The standards are set to record the information of the customer, electronically. (Laudon Laudon, 2016). MIS will be able to work on handling the information sharing by easy authorization and e-archiving to file the documents as well. The reduced usage of paper with the reduced number of staff will be helpful for the outsourcing company as well. The AAM with MIS has been able to work over the reengineering of the services with revaluation of the staff and KPI which depends on the transactions that proceeds depending upon the reports and statistics. The system of MIS can be utilized to change the data into information used for the decision making (Wu et al, 2015). The system (ELMs) provides an extra element of safety in the system. As per the analysis, there are reduced complaints of the customer, where the manager works on the evaluation of the performance. The organisation need to work over the training of the employees with updating all the data in the documents, with reduced staff. Here, the updates are depending upon the documents which depend on the information of the customer. The documents are mainly related to the ownership of the land and so there is a need of a proper approval. This will help in easily updating and keeping a proper record of the people in the computer with improved accuracy as well. The project also has a possibility to allow the MIS systems to check the errors before they are allowed at the customer level. (Al-Mamary et al, 2013). The disadvantages are related to the update of the information where the customer is immigrated to the previous database where the information could be wrong in the previous case. Hence, there is a possibility of the duplicity of the data as well. Hence, there is a delay in the system upgrade which leads to the change in the rules and the regulations as well, where the inflexibility in the system could lead to the different complications and the errors. There are delay responding to the errors as well. In addition to teaching one must learn the system work process as per the needs (Al-Mamary et al, 2013). MIS is highly distinct from the normal information system and used to evaluate other IS that are applied in various operational level function in the company. MIS is actually a more planned system of different collection, storage, processing as well as dissemination of data in the kind of information which is required to carry the management operations (Stair Reynolds, 2013). ELMS can work over the low ability using technology for the employees and work over the improvement of the system structure as well. To gain success in long run, the MIS system which is designed for companies, management and other technical factors. For ELMS, there is a possibility to work on creating the team with updating the customer files. This will help in improving the accuracy of the system as well. Along with this, there is a need to work on properly educating the employees and helping them to learn on the system. The study must motivate the company to be part of increasing the MIS and make an effective contribution in the system level design (Chang Lin, 2015). To get an ideal flow of data which is right for MIS is highly in demand right now. Therefore, it is crucial to have a clarity on MIS which is followed in a company at every level of management to take right decisions. A MIS also collects as well as process information and helps in providing the assistance in decision making, execution, planning and control (Chang Lin, 2015). References Al-Mamary, Y.

Horton-Parker" impacted me on an individual Christian standpoint. As well as "The Transforming Reality of the Bodily Resurrection by N.T. Wright and M. Borg." How the Christian idea of "Salvation history" has changed, and how I would communicate this on a larger scale in my preaching and daily endeavors. I have to say that after reading the paper from "H.S. Horton-Parker" I was very angry with the "Fraud Theory, Swoon Theory." First off Ancient History whether it be Archeological or Scholarly, no one person has been able to dispute the things in the bible were untrue, in fact they have proven it to be truthful. The fact that the "fraud theory" states Jesus' body had been stolen by his disciples is impossible. The Sadducees took every precaution by having the Romans put a guard at the tomb along wit h putting a seal upon the tomb. (Matthew 27:62-66) It was guarded until three days after the LORD died. The soldiers that stood guard were confronted by an angel and watched it roll the stone away. (Matthew 28:1-4) Those who fail to believe the LORD actually died in the "swoon theory" and felt he was given CPR to wake him made me laugh yet this too gave rise to some degree of anger. There is no way Jesus could have been revived by humans as he had bled to death and to prove he was gone, they took spears and pierced his sides. (John 19:33-34) The most infuriating part of all the letter from Horner-Parker was the idea that "Jesus was killed , and put in a shallow grave and eaten by dogs, and his resurrection was just a symbolic literacy expression." The fact that the soldiers had seen he was dead and jabbed him and the Sadducees got a seal placed on the tomb shows how ridiculous the idea was that Jesus was eaten by dogs. I can see if a person was a non-believer and was told these theories and believed these lies they could feel the rest of the bible was a lie. But personally reading these theories has just enhanced my faith in the LORD Jesus Christ and that he suffered for me and was willing to give of Himself to save a sinner like me and give me eternal life through his blood and suffering. How has Salvation History changed? This corresponds with N.T. Wrights explanation of "what Easter means." I feel the history of salvation has not changed much from the Old Testament to today. We all as then believe in the salvation God has provided. There has always been the fear of God, faith, hope, and desire to live eternally with our father through the messiah he promised to deliver to us. The Christians from the Old Testament that believed in the coming messiah were sent to a place near hell. Upon the Lords descent into hell , which had to happen , as he had to die a mortal life. During his time in hell, Jesus preached to the righteous and offered what the cross gives us today. How would I incorporate this into the community on a larger scale? Well by doing the best I can at living a Godly life. I cannot how ever be as Jesus was, because I am a sinner. I already converse with my team/co-workers about Christianity, and salvation as we are all saved that work together, (which is wonderful) I always try to bring God into my conversations with, family, friends, and others. It may be what he has done for me in a time of need, how beautiful the day is, being thankful for the rain or snow, and beauty of changin g seasons, or listening to their problems and offering prayer.

A person must find the time to complete a number of tasks in a day. A normal adult may have time to get everything done and still have time to spare. The normal college student on the other hand is constantly on the go. College students have busy schedules that include working, studying, and socializing. Most college students work. How else are they going to have the money for all those late night pizza deliveries? Part time employees usually eat on the road on the way from school to work. They work about 5 or 6 hours a day and then head home tired and ready for bed. Maybe not every night but usually there is some kind of paper to be written or chapter to be read. Full time college students that are also full-time workers have to plan everything out in order to make the time to get everything done. One of the things most college students dont make time for is housework. They often wait until everything is dirty to start the laundry. Dishes are another thing that tend to pile up. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner plates and glasses add up after a week. College students must find time in their busy schedules to study. In order to keep up they must do daily assignments. Reading every night helps to prepare for the exams. Taking notes in class and out of class are also necessary. Students also have exams at the end of the semester that require hours of studying. Waiting until the last minute and then cramming it all in is often a final resort. Many students who have kept up just go over and recall the information. All students must find time to study in order to pass. To escape from studying and working college students are known for socializing. They may help out in service clubs. Visiting a nursing home can be relaxing and comforting for both people. Weekends are busy times for dance clubs in college towns. College students go to clubs for fun. Clubs can be a good place to make new friends or to meet up with old ones. To help relieve stress there is nothing like having a long talk with a good friend. College students are under a great deal of stress. They must manage their time wisely. As one can see their schedules are busy with working, studying, and socializing.

Everyone has experienced miscommunications in his or her personal life, but when communications fail in the business world, opportunities to rectify the situations are rarely there. In many incidences, the damage has already been done and money or jobs have been lost. The reputation of the company has suffered immeasurable harm in the business community. Communicating effectively in the business environment is crucial as the success of an organization is directly connected to the abilities of its employees. The problem of miscommunications in the business world is far more serious than one might think. According to Patricia Eyres, author of Every Word Counts, Evidence from business records generated over years and even decades affects an increasing number of civil lawsuits. In fact, damage awards have soared in recent years, some due to explosive content of business communications, gaps in documentation, inflammatory e-mail, or charges of evidence tampering. (Eyres, 2003, p. 80) Ms. Eyres goes on to say, Any written information, whether formally or informally generated, can be considered documentary evidence if it is pertinent to a legal action, a regulatory proceeding, or a misconduct investigation.

Unfortunately, none of them felt bound to obey a greater law, so their disregard for law and acting in an immoral manner knew no bounds. From a utilitarian perspective, this deal would have been morally acceptable on several grounds. First, all of the parties involved would have benefited from the deal. Enron would have been able to use the proceeds of the ââ¬Å"saleâ⬠to Merrill Lynch to help maintain their stock price. This would be good for everyone that owned Enron stock. Merrill Lynch stood to ear a 15% guaranteed return on their investment. These two principal partners would have been the most immediate beneficiaries of the transaction. But other beneficiaries would have included those employed to continue construction on the barges, local business and families that depend on the income and patronage of these employees and the beneficiaries of the electricity provided by the barges. This basic resource could improve the standard of living to many thousands of families in Nigeria. The only ââ¬Å"downsideâ⬠would be the breaking of some arcane accounting rules. From a utilitarian standpoint, this was a good deal because many people benefited from the transaction and no one was really hurt. The possibility of an inflated price for Enron stock is inherent in this deal, but the overwhelming utility of the transaction benefited the most possible people. Deciding if virtue theory has anything to do with this transaction is difficult. While I see the clear relationship between the character (or lack thereof) in the individual players and the outcomes caused by this deal, I do not see how virtue theory could be applied to this scenario.

The earnings per share will give the investor one of the major factors in stocks investment. Between two or more companies, the investor is advised to invest in the company with the higher, or even highest, earnings per share. For if we apply probability here, if the company has a very high earnings per share and the earnings per share thru the many years of operation is increasing or remains the same, income producing, for the many years of historical experience, then this company is a very wise investment alternative. Gearing.( www.bized.ac.uk/compfact/ratios/gearing1.htm) is generated by dividing long term liabilities (Stickney, C & Weil, R, Financial Accounting 8th ed. Page 10 Dryden Press, Florida 1997) by equity shareholdersââ¬â¢ funds. We should also study Gearing because the definition of gearing mean the relationship between long term liabilities has and the capital investment employed. The gearing ratio gives us a tip on which investment to invest our money in. The ideal situation is that the capital investment balance should be more than the liabilities or loan balance. Liabilities refers to both short term (loans payable within one year after the end of the balance sheet[Spiceland, D & Sepe, J, Intermediate Accounting, Page 212, McGrawhill, 1998, USA] date) or long term liabilities ( loans payable for more than one year after the end of the balance sheet date.) The accounting equation ( this formula is the one presented in the balance sheet) is Total assets ( includes cash, receivables from customers, inventory, buildings, office equipment, factory equipment, land, other items that is owned by the corporation either bought thru cash or loan agreements) is equal to the sum of all liabilities ( already explaine d above) and total capital.

In order for an offer to be accepted, the party must entirely accept the offer. The rules governing acceptance has to be positive not passive. Silence does not forms acceptance. The general rule of acceptance is that the acceptance must be received by the offeror, otherwise it has no effect. An offer made to a particular person can be rightfully accepted by him alone and in order to avoid complications, acceptance is to be in writing received by the offeror or if it is orally, it must be heard by the offereor. In applying the law to the facts of the case before us, Wayne has made a valid offer to sell his house for $2 million dollars. In this case, Wayne is the offeror and Scott, Kyle and Magdelene are the offeree. Scott offers to buy the house for $1. 8 million dollars and Wayne said nothing. In this case, Scott has now become the offeror and Wayne is the offeree as a counter offer has been made. Looking at the principles of acceptance, an acceptance made must be positive not passive. Wayne said nothing about the offer therefore there was no communication between them of any sort of acceptance. This would highlight that the fact that silence does not form acceptance as per case of Felthouse v Bindly (1862) The offeror cannot impose acceptance just because the offeree does not reject the offer. Therefore, Scott wanting to take legal action towards Wayne is not valid as there was no form of acceptance in either form of writing or orally. When Kyle came to view the property, he agrees to Wayneââ¬â¢s offer of $2 million dollars but ââ¬Å"subject to contractâ⬠. Wayne agreed. The definition of subject to contract is that both parties are agreeable to the terms of the offer but propose that they negotiate a formal contract on the basis of the offer. Referring to the case of Yap Eng Thong v Faber Union, the court found the agreement to sell a house ââ¬Å"subject to contractâ⬠was not binding. Hence, Kyle wanting to take legal action towards Wayne will not be valid as ââ¬Å"subject to contractâ⬠does not bind anyone to the contract before signature. In this case, Wayne revoked his offer to Scott and Kyle by selling the house to Magdalene. An offer can be dismissed at any point of time before acceptance s made. In the case of Routledge v Grant (1828), there was offer made to buy the house and acceptance must be made by the offeree in 6 weeks time. In less than 6 weeks, offeror chooses to withdrew his offer, in which he had a right to do so. Furthermore, the revocation is valid as it is communicated to Scott and Kyle since they have heard of it. The notice of revocation does not necessarily come from Wayne himself. In conclusion to the case study, both Scott and Kyle cannot bring Wayne to legal action as the offer was revoked before their acceptance was made. Revocation was made being communicated and need not come from the offeror himself. Which links to the next point of acceptance must be positive and not passive. Silence does not make up acceptance. Hence, Scott wanting to take legal action against Wayne is not valid. As for Kyle, Wayne has the right to sell his property to anyone as long as a formal contract is not signed by any party. Kyle cannot take legal action against Wayne as ââ¬Å"subject to contractâ⬠does not guarantee acceptance and either party can withdraw before signing .

Realizing that I will have a white collard job. Working through the ranks from the bottom up to reach a reasonable goal. I will have diplomas and achievements, but I doubt if I will manage a billion dollar company. In my reality working hard is part of every day life. Working hard every day feeling that I am underpaid is reality. In my dream like state again I see myself always happy. Never stressed out with the days problems or worries. Family problems are not an issue. Getting to and from work is no problem. Every idea or presentation that I have works well. Meetings run smoothly under my command. The office and staff work like a well oiled machine. All components together to reach a common goal. Reality sets in, stress is a natural part of life. Living in an ideal world with no stress or problems is boring. Anger and stress add spice and excitement to life. People always deal with stress everyday. I am no exception and either is the future. Coworkers cheery and happy enters my thoughts when dreaming of the future. Miscommunications and misunderstandings are unheard of. Every individual is nice to each other and no one is ever upset. Work atmosphere is quiet and peaceful. People respecting each one's own opinion. Every day people are on time and punctual. Work is done on time with no excuses for late work. The future is full of coworkers' being angry and disgruntled. Miscommunications and misunderstandings are a part of life. No individual is ever nice to everyone all of the time. People upset with other people is a natural process of life. Everyone has a bad day. It is not possible to be cheery and bubbly all of the time. Though nice this is not possible. Driving five minutes to work every morning in my sports car is obviously a dream. Dreaming of never having to deal with traffic or long commutes; living in a small city no bigger than 30,000. A big city is too inconvenient for travel and time. Reaching any destination takes over thirty minutes. Living in a big city is reality. Waking up at 6:00a.m. and picking up my car pool. Riding along the loop in my Geo Metro that reaches over thirty miles to the gallon. My car's starter is shot and the air-conditioning doesn't work. I will live in a big city and commute to my high rise office building down town. Each morning dreading the hour drive filled with traffic jams and spilt coffee. Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
