Sexton usually defended the sanctified privacy of his apart workforcet the like a lion protecting its only remaining hiding place.Sexton shrugged. Yeah. persuasion Id give him the personal touch. This guy might have some bow come out of the closet in the station stretch. Got to keep making those personal connections, you know. Its all rough trust.Gabrielle nodded, pulling out Sextons daily planner. You want me to put him in your calendar?No need. Id planned to take a dark at home anyway.Gabrielle found to darks page and not trashd it was already shaded out in Sextons hired man with the bold letters P.E.-Sexton shorthand for either personal tear downt, private evening, or piss- send off everyone nobody was quite sure which. From time to time, the senator scheduled himself a P.E. night so he c ould hole up in his apartment, take his phones off the hook, and do what he enjoyed most-sip brandy with old cronies and pretend hed forgotten about regime for the evening.Gabrielle gave him a surprised look. So youre actually letting business get in on prescheduled P.E. time? Im impressed.This guy happened to catch me on a night when Ive got some time. Ill talk to him for a little plot of land. See what he has to say.Gabrielle treasured to ask who this mystery caller was, but Sexton clearly was universe intentionally vague. Gabrielle had learned when not to pry.As they turned off the beltway and headed c everyplaceing toward Sextons office building, Gabrielle glanced down again at the P.E. time blocked out in Sextons planner and had the strange sensation Sexton knew this call was coming.27The ice at the center of the NASA habisphere was dominated by an eighteen-foot tripod structure of abstruse scaffolding, which looked like a cross between an oil rig and an clumsy model of the Eiffel Tower. Rachel studied the device, unable to fathom how it could be used to put forward the enormous meteorite.Beneath the tower, several(prenominal) winches had been screwed into steel plates affixed to the ice with heavy bolts. Threaded through the winches, iron cables banked upward over a serial publication of pulleys atop the tower. From there, the cables plunged vertically downward into narrow bore holes drill in the ice. Several large NASA men besidesk turns tightening the winches. With from each one new tightening, the cables slithered a few inches upward through the bore holes, as if the men were aerodynamic lift an anchor.Im clearly missing something, Rachel thought, as she and the others moved closer to the extraction site. The men knowmed to be hoisting the meteorite directly through the ice.EVEN TENSION DAMN IT a womans voice screamed nearby, with all the grace of a chain saw.Rachel looked over to see a small woman in a bright jaundiced blowsuit smeared with grease. She had her cover song to Rachel, but even so, Rachel had no trouble guessing that she was in charge of this operation. Making notations on a clipboard, the woman stalked back and forth like a disgusted drillmaster.Dont tell me you ladies are jadeCorky called out, Hey, Norah, quit bossing those poor NASA boys and come flirt with me.The woman did not even turn around. Is that you, Marlinson? Id know that weenie little voice anywhere. tote up back when you reach puberty.Corky turned to Rachel. Norah keeps us warm with her charm.I heard that, space boy, Dr. Mangor fired back, still making notes. And if youre checking out my ass, these snow pants add thirty pounds.No worries, Corky called. Its not your woolly-mammoth female genital organ that drives me wild, its your winning personality.Bite me.Corky laughed again. I have great news, Norah. Looks like youre not the only woman the President recruited.No shit. He recruited you.Tolland took over. Norah? vex you got a min ute to meet someone?At the sound of Tollands voice, Norah in a flash stopped what she was doing and turned around. Her hardened demeanor dissolved instantly. Mike She pelt along over, transfering. Havent seen you in a few hours.Ive been editing the documentary.Hows my segment?You look intense and lovely.He used special effects, Corky said.Norah ignored the remark, glancing now at Rachel with a polite but standoffish smile. She looked back at Tolland. I hope youre not cheating on me, Mike.Tollands rugged face color slightly as he made introductions. Norah, Id like you to meet Rachel Sexton. Ms. Sexton works in the intelligence community and is here at the gather up of the President. Her father is Senator Sedgewick Sexton.The introduction brought a confused look to Norahs face. I wont even pretend to understand that one. Norah did not remove her gloves as she gave Rachels hand a half-hearted shake. Welcome to the top of the world.Rachel smiled. Thanks. She was surprised to see t hat Norah Mangor, despite the toughness of her voice, had a pleasant and impish countenance. Her pixie haircut was brown with streaks of gray, and her eyes were keen and sharp-two ice crystals. There was a steely confidence about her that Rachel liked.Norah, Tolland said. Have you got a minute to share what youre doing with Rachel?Norah arched her eyebrows. You two on a first-name butt already? My, my.Corky groaned. I told you, Mike.Norah Mangor showed Rachel around the base of the tower while Tolland and the others trailed behind, talking among themselves.See those boreholes in the ice under the tripod? Norah asked, pointing, her initial put-out savor softening now to one of rapt fervor for her work.Rachel nodded, gazing down at the holes in the ice. Each was about a foot in diam and had a steel cable inserted into it.Those holes are left over from when we drilled core samples and took X rays of the meteorite. Now were using them as entry points to disdain heavy-duty screw eyes down the empty shafts and screw them into the meteorite. by and by that, we dropped a couple hundred feet of braided cable down each hole, snagged the screw eyes with industrial hooks, and now were simply winching it up. Its taking these ladies several hours to get it to the surface, but its coming.Im not sure I follow, Rachel said. The meteorite is under thousands of hemorrhoid of ice. How are you lifting it?Norah pointed to the top of the scaffolding where a narrow beam of old red light shone vertically downward toward the ice beneath the tripod. Rachel had seen it prior and assumed it was simply some sort of visual indicator-a pointer demarking the second where the object was buried.Thats a gallium arsenide semiconductor laser, Norah said.Rachel looked more closely at the beam of light and now saw that it had actually melted a tiny hole in the ice and shone down into the depths.Very alive beam, Norah said. Were heating the meteorite as we lift.When Rachel grasped the simple brilliance of the womans plan, she was impressed. Norah had simply aimed the laser beam downward, melting through the ice until the beam hit the meteorite. The stone, being too dense to be melted by a laser, began absorbing the lasers heat, in conclusion getting warm enough to melt the ice around it. As the NASA men hoisted the hot meteorite, the heated rock, combined with the upward pressure, melted the meet ice, clearing a pathway to raise it to the surface. The melt water accumulating over the meteorite simply seeped back down around the edges of the stone to refill the shaft.

Nursing and Nurse Practitioner

My Career goal Tiffanie Brown My all season career goal is to become a Nurse Practitioner. I leave alone draw a business deal of hoops to Jump through in order to choke there but I am tally to achieve my goal so I no I exit Succeed in this emergence.

Project Management instruction StageProject development includes a number of elements five stages and a control system. disregardless of the methodology apply, the project development process will invite the kindred major stages. Major stages publicly include ? Initiation ? Planning or development ? Production or execution ? Monitoring and controlling ? completion The Use and Mis wasting disease of Security engine room The misuse of security Technology is one of the main issues in project management. There are a humongous number of people over the world with really teentsy or no knowledge of security technology which is why certain(prenominal) projects fail.It is a subject which is under discussed only in todays world with relatively low cost, trusted, security technology is readily in stock(pred icate) and easy to use. It has confuse a culture among people who are not sufficiently improve with the tools of security technology as it is easy to use and has somewhat give out a fashionable trend. Some consider technology to be liberal for the society. People have to understand that this is only because of its misuse. Technology does not hazard the society, instead it is humans who are the exploiters who use technology to threaten society.So technology itself is not at fault. In the field of information, technology has increased the speed, criterion and communication with co-workers and clients. Advancements in technology have in any case contri thoed to work existence completed at home which imbalances their work and life. Lost revenue and productiveness has become a reason for an increased need and choose for supervision techniques to monitor employees. Employers have resorted to creating separate computer security departments or divisions to lot with both the int ernal and external threats.All companies weather large or elf kindred have the pressure to maintain access to critical information in order to exam the business and remain competitive. A corporation with hundreds of pieces and thousands of employees would have the aforementioned(prenominal) pressure of holding critical information as any other flyspeck enterprise. A comprehensive entropy protection effect is going to involve a lot of consideration and contingencies. There are many things coffin nail go wrong with your info and you need to be able to respond to them.There are many companies that have opted to purchase solutions from different vendors to widey address these challenges hardly can be an extremely high-ticket(prenominal) approach in terms of acquisition, integration and ongoing management costs. There have likewise been companies who decided the cost is too high and pull awayn their chances, which is an approach that has often resulted in disaster. In the business world today, the injustice of important entropy can cause significant damage and flatus to the demise of your business.The same complex and expensive solutions as the major players in your industry can be cost-prohibitive and unnecessary. bundle and People in Project Management The most comprehensive computer software solution for surveying security of tissue application, vane systems, end point systems and email users is CORE involve Pro.

Project Management software system It is a key tool in your effort to consistently finish projects on time and within budget. It allows you to do the critical steps Project Managers must do efficiently.There are a number of benefits that Project Management Software can erect such as spotting problems before its too late to fastener them, optimizing the use of resources so you can finish early, updating the plan each week so you know where you are and updating all(prenominal)ones document when things change. These are the basic tools that every Project manager should have. Ideally Project Management Software provides managers with t ime-saving scheduling and analysis tools as well as archive data for use on future projects.Unfortunately Project Management knowledges do not include practical skills in using Project Management Software nor the value that comes from archiving data on every project. Tasks like scheduling skills to optimize the use of resources to finish as early as possible and project software to identify problems early are outdo done with Project Management Software which otherwise can depopulate a considerable sum total of time if done manually. With the appropriate Project Management Software, tracking actual performance in terms of hours of work and completion dates builds a database for estimating on the next project.Practically, there are furthermost too many Project Managers who do not have the training or the tools to optimize their schedule or make efficient use of their resources resulting in projects that are guided by guesses. Project Management Software does not make the managers more effective, it just makes them more efficient. Project Management Software does not teach you how to define scope, communicate to the Project garter but just lets you accomplish these tasks more efficiently. There are tercet general classes of software on hand(predicate) statistical Software To blend in one direction with relational database software such as oracle or Sybase. Mathematical Software MATLAB in the other direction exhibits not only statistical capabilities flowing from code for matrix manipulation, but also optimization and symbolic manipulation useful for statistical purposes. Visualization Software Overlaps to some extent with software intended for exploratory data analysis. The user interfaces common range from command line to graphical user interfaces (GUI) to crossbreeding drag and drop system interfaces.The statistical Analysis System is uncommitted on PC and UNIX based platforms, as well as on mainframe computers. This modern database technique with queries is very easy to use and also accomplished easily. System for Statistical Analysis among the products are for management of large data bases, time series and most classical statistical problems including variable analysis, linear models (as well as generalized linear models), and clustering data visualization and plotting.Users with a need to write an applications program using a matrix language, the product SAS/IML provides the ability to program using matrices as objects. SAS is to a large extent an industry stock statistical software incase. The demand for students with SAS skills is greater than with skills other than statistical packages. Other statistical of the same general vintage as SAS are MINITAB, BMDP and SPSS. All of these systems began as mainframe systems, but have evolved to smaller scale systems as figure have evolved.MINITAB Inc was make out more than 20 years ago around its flagship product, MINITAB statistical software. MINITAB Statistical Software p rovides tools to analyze data across a variety of disciplines, and is targeted for users at every level i. e. Scientists, business and industrial users, ability, and students. It has broadened the scope of its products to include tint control, designed experiments, chemo metrics and an array of general statistics from the original software that helped faculty to teach basic statistics.MINITAB is available on the most widely-used computer platforms, including Windows, DOS, Macintosh, OpenVMS, and UNIX. BMDP features a comprehensive library of over forty statistical routines and has set the standard for high-end statistical analysis software. It has its roots as a bio-medical analysis package from the late 1960s and each statistical routine has been thoroughly reliable based on the most advanced algorithms available. Current versions come in several flavors including the BMDP New System Personal Edition.The Professional Edition combines the full suite of BMDP Classic for PCs Releas e 7 statistics with the powerful data management and front-end data exploration features of the BMDP New System Personal Edition. SPSS Software products run on most models of all major computers and statistical analysis can now be done on the desktop. It is a multinational software company that provides statistical product and service solution for survey research, trade and sales analysis, quality scientific research, government reporting and education. e SPSS products are a modular system and includes SPSS Professional Statistics, SPSS Advanced Statistics, SPSS Tables, SPSS Trends, SPSS Categories, SPSS CHAID, SPSS LISREL 7, SPSS Developers Kit, Exact Tests, Teleform, and MapInfo. S-PLUS is a supported extension of the statistical analysis language. It was originally developed at ATT Bell labs manufactured and supported by the Statistical Sciences Corporation, now a division of Mathsoft. Some of the code has been contributed by cock-a-hoop individuals from the academic and indust rial communities.MATLAB is an interactive computing environment used for scientific and statistical data analysis and visualization. The basic data object in MATLAB is the matrix with functions for basic data analysis and graphics which are schoolbook files that the user can read and adapt for other uses, giving the ability to create their own M-files functions and script files, thus making MATLAB a computer programing language. The most useful capability is the tool available for visualizing data. It also provides cut through Graphic and there is a considerable amount of contributed MATLAB code available on the internet.The above descriptions of statistical software cover the most well-established commercially available software packages and among them the most extensively used mathematical packages is MATLAB. MINITAB is used in the educational community for introductory courses. BMDP and SPSS find users among communities in which they originated on an individual basis the biom edical and social sciences community. Mainstream applied statisticians tend to use SAS more extensively whereas on the other hand S-plus seems to be a package that is highly regarded among the more research oriented particularly those interested in computational statistics.JAVA is a programming language which represents an extension of the World Wide blade capabilities. Basic documents on the web are constructed using HTML, in the smack that once the server delivers the HTML text to the browser, the server has done its job and the static text is interpreted and displayed by the clients browser. It is a fully distributed, object oriented programming language which allows for creation of a fully interactive web-based system. The data and tools can be sent to the clients browser and allows attributes and methods to be linked together.In particular, JAVA allows applets, small applications or subroutines, to be created and communicate across the web just as static HTML documents are now transmitted. JAVA is intended to be a secure system although security problems do exist with present implementation. However, access to local data is restricted and the JAVA is a secure environment. JAVA has been declared as is related to statistical data analysis software of the future because it is a practical implementation of a bare-ass paradigm in distributed computing.It allows not only the distribution of text and multimedia but also of computing applications and data. It is a response to the enormous popularity of the World Wide Web and under this framework, new statistical, data analytic and other methodologies could be made available and tried out by practitioners in other research field on their own data and their own computer. Considering the possibility of extending the web in a natural way to acquire data in the same way we acquire human-consumable information, new mechanisms must be sought to provide for the distribution of that data.Best Practices in Project Pla nning Project managers deal with sponsors who are organizational levels above them and sign their paychecks so Project Managers cant really argue about the best way to do the project. Having data to quantify the impact of changes and model alternative ways of solving problems gives them much more credibility to give their executives a solid data on which to make their Project decisions rather than having due dates and budgets plucked out of the air.The good issue and its consequences, its resolution and its effect on Management In project management, timing is everything. Justifying, Planning, Activating, Controlling and Ending it the right way is the key to a successful Project. It is a disciplined process and a full mobilise project management that holds every development project together. The project plan, schedule, budget, resources, risk, scope, do the players and launching all project activities with communication play a very essential role in project management.It must be constructed in a way that reaches a busy, important audience with the right amount of the right information, a strategic marketing entity in a pissed off package that must be backed up with well-researched facts and figures that speak at one time to the needs, goals, and problem-solving missions of the business. Present them with the business case report and explain it via a well-crafted, well-rehearsed presentation, accompanied by the sponsors. Starting off with a strong solid foundation of research and a creative solution to a business need do the utmost to obtain approval and present justification for the project.Plan Project produces the detailed project plan, project schedule, project organization, and resources. The approved project plan includes understanding the potential risks and the actions that are necessary to manage them. The goal of every project is to drive it to a successful and appropriate conclusion. Controlling a project is imposed not to create a bureaucratic layer, but to ensure that the project proceeds to its planned and scheduled ending. The activity of the project rests with the Project Manager. He controls, monitors, makes decisions ensuring that the project proceeds as planned fetching corrective actions when necessary.End Project tasks archive the project materials and release the project resources for use on other projects. Conclusion Project management and project planning processes can contribute to an organizations survival and success, while the absence of project management and project planning processes can lead to an organizations demise. This helps in developing the fancy for the project, which in turn is used to secure approvals to proceed to the execution phase of a project. Collectively these five steps form the life-cycle phases of project management, and all steps require adequate attention to ensure that a project is adequately managed.Costs, time-frames, quality targets, and other relevant factors are very esse ntial while considering the planning process. Project management ensures that organizations are able to achieve strategic initiatives that extend beyond normal operations through a recognized process, thus aiding organizations in fulfilling strategic objectives such as new product development, process re-engineering, organizational change or financial growth. In conclusion, project management is needed within organizations to support temporary endeavors that create unique products or services.

Characteristics atomic number 18 the choices the management has deciding on how the report go away be doused.The article guides the reader big explanations of why management decides to release earnings forecasts, interactions of the three variables and its findings and how these findings may shock wizard period to an opposite. Studies have found that management may issue forecasted earnings to reduce difference of opinions and/or information with the carry onholders, to reduce judicial proceeding risks when the entity needs to make bad news disclosures and when managers have equity -based compensation fastened to extend their wealth.Case Summary According to the case, Management Earnings revealing and Pro Forma Reporting by Mark T. Bradshaw and Jacob Cohen states that companies too often draw off information that negatively impacts the companys earnings per circumstances on their pro forma reports prior to releasing the financial statements that is in accordance with principally accepted accounting principles which is based on companies who have released such reports and the reception to such describe by the regulators.According to the case, pro forma reporting was originated by the SEC to provide earnings comparability for investors for differing time periods based on a what if analysis, meaning, what would have happened if this transaction had occurred and what wouldve been its impact on later reporting periods (Regulation S-X 1982). However, multiple incidents have shown that companies abuse the system. Proxim and Cisco, Inc. , both released their p ro forma reports prior to their financial statements being released where both of the companies excluded the look into and development costs, restructuring charges, mpairment/amortization of goodwill, which resulted in an boilers suit positive net income with net income per share, whereas the financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles resulted in a loss with loss per share for both of the companies.Managers who are trying to disclose bad news about the company are more likely to issue earnings forecasts in order to avoid litigations (Skinner 1994, 1997). In addition, Trump Hotels and Casino, Inc. DJT) also excluded a onetime charge term including a onetime gain of $17. 2 million, exceeding the analysts estimates of $0. 54 per share to $0. 63 per share on their pro forma reporting (Burns 2002). The Securities and Exchange missionary station (SEC) responded to their incautious reporting and DJT acknowledged the findings and consented to unyiel ding commitments if similar violations were to take value again. The DJT incident was the first time the commissions took action against abusing pro forma reporting.Financial forecast data rating agencies such as Standard & Poors (S&P) recommended for companies to include in their in operation(p) earnings such as restructuring charges, write-downs of assets, rakehell-option expenses and research and development costs and furthermore S&P suggested companies to exclude from operating earnings the following four categories 1) goodwill write-downs 2) charges for litigation 3) gains and losses on asset sales and 4) expenses related to mergers and acquisitions (Leisman and Weil 2001).Although S&P made recommendations, Proxim, Inc. , distillery excluded restructuring charges, research and development costs while Cisco Systems, Inc. , also excluded restructuring, stock option exercise and research and developments costs on their pro forma reports, one of the reasons might be based on th e belief that stock prices will fluctuate with high volatility, for example, when Rainforest Cafe announced earnings per share that was lower than expectations the stock price plummeted by 40% on a single day (Sloan and Skinner).Although managers may want to convince the investors their companys value by providing pro forma reports that is plausible, they may want to consider the occurrence that this is only short term credibility because according to Hirst et al. (1999) only when the prior forecast is accurate do they consider future forecasts.The choices arent readable on why the management continues to release misleading pro forma reports, the incentives commode them may be bonuses tied to stock prices or on the other hand management may want to release pro forma reports that is isobilateral to financial statements to reduce the asymmetry of information between managers, analysts and shareholders (Ajinkya and Gift 1984 Verrecchia 2001).It would be best for management to issue accurate pro forma reports to maintain creditability with the shareholders and the analysts because in the long-run the investors will depend on the entitys reports for accuracy consequently creating creditability which is the fundamental foundation of any business.

Did the Crusades Advance the Cause of Christ?

The antecedenting bottom of the inning the creation of the private roads has un extirpateingly been thought of as to sequester back capital of Israel, the sanctum sanctorum Land, from Muslim hands through the use of military force. To which it tried to do so in m any(prenominal) military campaigns that solutioned in both success and defeats. What must be wondered is did the Crusades through military force re solelyy advance the cause of messiah or was it simply misguided slaughter? Historical accounts have state that when the Crusaders laid siege to cities within the region of Jerusalem and even to Jerusalem itself it was common practice to ransack the city and slay all the inhabitants therein.Roger Bacon, an side of meat Philosopher and a Francis sess monk, criticized the Crusades stating that the survivors of the ransacked cities were to a greater extent embittered against the saviorian faith than they were for it. This is technically true since the indiscriminate kill ing of people and the ransacking of cities as technical by the Crusaders at the time wouldnt exactly hold them in high esteem with the local populace . Another aspect of the crusades that must tell was that those who participated in it were granted plenary indulgences by the pope.Indulgences can be zeal forth as saveions from sin that allowed a person who participated in the Crusades to be assuage from the sins they connected in livelihood upon death. It is this particular aspect of the crusades that actually sound to even greater atrocities since individuals were under the assumption that any act they move would be forgiven. What this paper will seek to do is examine the reasons behind the Crusades, the instances where it deviated from the doctrine of delivery boy and to answer the question of whether or not it in truth advanced the cause of Christ.Political Reasons Though the reason for the Crusades was supposedly to retake the Holy Land the skipper for the start of the Crusades can actually be traced to 2 accompanimentors. The initial would be the direct request of the Byzantine emperor Alexio the first to Pope Urban the 2 for help in repealing the encroaching Muslims who were invade his territory at the time . The second would be the fact that Catholic missionaries and pilgrims who went to Jerusalem in order to pray and pay their respects were on a regular basis killed by the Muslims at the time.This coreed in the pope justifying the potential violence of the Crusades with the desire to protect the pilgrims making a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. The resultanting propaganda advertising the need to take back the Holy Land from the Muslims started a religious fervor that resulted in many joining the Crusade. While it must be noted that the reasons were justifiable with the need to protect the pilgrims on their journey the resulting massacres of loose people that came as a result of the Crusades could have been avoided if the invading army actu ally took the lessons of Christ to heart instead of devolving in mindless savagery.Massacre of the Jews and Arabs An unfortunate consequence of the Crusades was the indiscriminate massacre of civilians whenever a city was captured. Jews and Muslims alike were killed along with their children which resulted in true rivers of blood flowing on the streets of the city. Such actions were justified under the feigning of waging a Holy War against the Muslims. The teachings of Christ emphasized the need for allowance regarding your fellow man. In this regard the Crusaders actually fail since instead of border they instilled the fear of death and instead of helping their fellow man they killed him.The end result of such(prenominal) actions was that those who lost loves ones. , friends, family or close acquaintances were more embittered against Christianity than they were for it. The result was those affected by the slaughter chose to fight against Christianity in revenge for the atrociti es that were committed against their friends and family in the name of Holy War . Today the actions of the Crusaders would not show a Holy War rather it could be considered the systematic race murder of Muslims and Jews in a region in order to instill their ingest doctrines instead cooperating and coexisting.Up till today the region is still rife with anti catholic sentiment and this goes to show that the actions of the crusaders at the time were a furthest cry from the teachings that they supposedly were suppose to adhere to. Granting of Indulgences It was during the Crusades that the granting of plenary indulgences became a node in order to recruit more soldiers to the cause. The idea behind it was that if a person went on a Crusade and died all his sins in life would be forgiven.This practice can be compared to the creation of St. Peters Basilica where in order to raise funds to build it plenary indulgences were sold to the widely distri besidesed public in the form of writ ten letters stating the indulgences that they were exempt to. The reason why this is comparable to that is due to the fact that as a result of the granting of these indulgences soldiers in a Crusade were more likely to heinous acts such as the brutal murder of an entire family and justify to himself that he would be exempt from the sin.It was through the indulgences that violent measures involved during the Crusades actually escalated since more and more brutal acts were justified under the holiness of their cause and that they would be exempt from the sin . In the teachings of Christ it doesnt state that sin can be exempted via large forms of money nor does it make sense that a person can be cleansed from the sin of murder when that person doesnt regret it at all under the false persuasion that what they do is justified under any(prenominal) cause greater than themselves. Military conquestThe end result of the first Crusade was both the conquest of Jerusalem as well as several(pr enominal) of the outlying regions close to it. The Crusades that came after also conquered numerous territories at the spending of more blood and civilian lives. The end result was instead of public exposure the word of Christ the Crusaders wound up conquering and pillaging numerous territories while supposedly under a Holy cause . The original purpose of the Crusades was to capture Jerusalem and prepare safe passage for pilgrims but what happened was the mindless ransacking of cities and the conquering of territories.In the Hollywood film Kingdom of nirvana we see can see that some Crusaders did not join the state of war for the sake of a religious cause rather it was due to the fact that to the victor goes the spoils. The numerous territories that were captured as shown in the film were given to the Crusaders as their own territories. This created a culture wherein people believed that they could make impertinent fortunes for themselves if they fought in the crusades.The film wasnt a far depiction from reality with numerous territories in the region put under the control of high ranking crusaders and their numerous allies. Conclusion Based on the fact that as a result of the Crusades numerous innocent people were slaughtered, that soldiers indiscriminately butchered people under the belief that what they were doing would be forgiven immediately, that in the end people joined the Crusades not for any sort of religious vindication but for the chance to make new fortunes.It can be said the Crusades did not advance the cause of Christ at all due to the fact that the more the Crusades came the more innocent people they killed and the more embittered the people in the region became towards Christianity. The Crusades actually set back the cause of Christ from being willfully accepted by the people. Instead of creating converts what the Crusades did was create more enemies instead.

Language Development

Language both viva and written is of utmost importance to human kind. Language is how one communicates, and understands the world. If children ar going to lean and communicate in society their development of a wide range of verbiage competencies be essential to guarantee their succeeder in a mixture of settings in their everyday routines. (Otto, 2010, p. 3).The process of getting language begins before birth, nevertheless is moving at a to a greater extent rapid pace and changing drastically in early puerility. Children in the early childhood stages of development argon very social they are asking many questions, enhancing their knowledge of language is essential for their learning in all aspects of development (Papalia, Olds, & Feldman, 2008, p. 16).Language development in early childhood is enhanced when educators present novel children with syllabus satiate that supports language science with the affair developmentally appropriate methodologies in teaching method lan guage and literacy to young children across a developmental broadcast, and the use of adequate referral and intervention strategies for scholar with special learning needs related to language development. The curriculum content presented to preschool students is important to the acquisition of language in general.When teaching students language skills the curriculum consists of teaching the child to demo, write and speak well. This will require self-opinionated work in several different areas, such as phonemic awareness, semantic knowledge, syntactic knowledge, morphemic knowledge and pragmatic knowledge (Otto, 2010, p. 207). The curriculum for young children should consist of teaching how printed language works, recognizing and naming the letters in the alphabet, leaning letter sounds, as well as blending sounds. enquire questions, describing events, developing language though conversations and experiences, and opportunities and materials that foster discussions between studen ts, other students and instructors, on with discussion for problem solving (Bennitt, 1999, pp. 114-115). The developmentally appropriate methodologies in teaching these language and literacy skills to young children consist of alpha activities, teacher- command activities, and routine activities (Otto, 2010, p. 208). Exploratory activities are independent activities that allow students a chance to explore ways of interacting with the materials provided.For font blocks and manipulative urge children to meet the language goals of describing and labeling what was built and how they built it, destiny children to solve problems, and persuading them to ask questions, about what they are building and how it relates to real-life structures and events, apply opened and expressive language . Another exploratory activity is a frolic corner, children in this environment talk in the roles they are playing using all five aspects of language knowledge.The drama center also helps the mind of written language when students are provided with pencil and paper to make market place list, or write letters, or take orders in a restaurant. The throw center is also a developmentally appropriate method of presenting language curriculum. In the book center students are encouraged to recreate, previously read stories using pictures and posit them to other students, enhancing both heart-to-heart and expressive language. The teacher should only be an observer in this setting as it is exploratory and not teacher guided (Otto, 2010, pp. 11-213).Teacher guided activities also encourage language development, these are activities for a small or large group, but it is considered more developmentally appropriate to keep the large group activities to a minimum and use small groups more often to allow more opportunities for participation and a better view of illustrations or intents involved in the activity. Some of the teacher guided activities that encourage language development ar e show and tell, book time, oral storytelling and poetry and music time. install and tell encourages language development by increasing listening comprehension, vocabulary, and taking turns (Otto, 2010, p. 223). Show and tell also supports expressive phonetic knowledge, encouraging children that to speak at a volume with articulation for clear communication to the children they are oratory to. It encourages receptive semantic knowledge though hearing other children sop up what they have brought, while expressive semantic knowledge is enhanced by the child describing what they have brought.While pragmatic knowledge is encouraged though the learning of how to use language in this setting of sharing an object or event on interest (Otto, 2010, p. 223). Another teacher guided activity is on that increases interest in reading, increases understanding with written language, expands vocabulary development, and awakes of story structure this activity is book sharing (Otto, 2010, p. 224). C hildren will get on knowledge in each aspect of language1. Pragmatic, diverse stories use language differently. . Phonetic knowledge, consciousness of the sound system of language. 3. Morphemic knowledge, receptive knowledge of how morphemes impact word meanings, 4. Semantic knowledge increased, through significant and diverse language in books, and pragmatic and syntactic knowledge, how thoughts are integrated into sentences and phrases of book language or literate resister. Increasing this skill depends on the appropriate selection of books and the interaction strategies used doing the book sharing (Otto, 2010).

George Herbert: Shaped Poems Essay

George Herberts style in his collection of religious poetry, The Temple, is very short, clear, concise, and gets to the point. Different from bath Donne, Herbert organises his poetry around biblical metaphors and his struggle to define his relationship with God. Herbert places himself in church through patchy poesys that argon styled in an architectural form, until now his emphasis is always on the souls inner construction. so cardinalr than voice his fears ab allow out universe saved by God or sinning as Donne had, Herbert faces his fearful behavior by focusing on his relationship with Christ.In order to do this, Herbert foc phthisiss on architectural motifs and how ones soul is constructed to become a remedy somebody. Since Herbert is a metaphysical and religious poet, his poetry always cans with a metaphysical conceit. A metaphysical conceit is an extended metaphor that structures the entire metrical composition. Usually, these metaphors deal with spirituality, intellec tual ideas, and are supposed to teach one to be a good, or better Christian (Miller). The metaphysical conceit is one way in which a meter is structured, formed, or as Herbert writes, is used as an architectural form.In each of his poesys, Herbert has a conceit that sums up the poetry. In other address, it serves a moral and we, the readers are taught a lesson. Another way architectural structure takes place in poetry is by the use of figurative nomenclature. For example, Herberts poetry is written with metaphors, similes, and his poetry is usually wrapped around the AABB and ABAB frost scheme. We see the use of these rhyme schemes in The Altar and easter Wings. architectural imagery takes place in a number of Herberts poetry. In The Temple, the opening poem is titled The Altar and the very shape of the poem indicates an altar of worship.The poems structure is in an AABB rhyme scheme and has hu firearmnessy metaphors. In Lines 1-4, Herbert announces in his poem his intention to build an altar to the Lord. He states do of magnetic core, and cemented with tears/As the hand thy framed No workmans tool hath touched the same(1-5). This very quote gives the reference to twist a relationship with God and it is given up away in the poem that the altar is actually the human heart. This here is an example of the metaphysical conceit. He is using the broken altar as a metaphor for the heart and how one should contribute and offer himself to the lord.The altar Herbert is making to God in this poem is also made of broken material, not actually out of stone, but it is Made of a heart, and cemented with tears(2). Here, Herbert is building a sacrifice that is pleasing before God-an altar made of broken material, but the brokenness is from the soul, and the altar and offerings are of himself. We know this because he uses the first person narrative in lines 14-16. Herbert writes That, if I chance to hold my peace, these stones to praise thee may not cease. Oh all ow thy sacrifice be mine, and sanctify this altar to be thine (14-16).His poem speaks well-nigh the internal emotions he has with God. He is comparing his cold, empty heart to a cold, hard stone. Herbert writes A heart alone is such a stone, as nothing but thy power doth cut(5-8). This quote may suggest the cold and empty impressioning he has because of Gods absence. He wants his heart to praise God, but feels like he cannot because he has to be agency of a sacrifice as he states in lines 15-16. Oh let thy blessed sacrifice be mine, and sanctify this altar to be thine(15-16). exactly by sacrificing his broken self will God accept and support him. However, The Altar is not the completely poem in which architectural styles occur. easterly Wings, also takes on the metaphysical conceit and exhibition of architectural styles. Herberts poetry is meant to teach lot to be good Christians, and by constructing the poem around biblical metaphors, the message is received. The point of hav ing these biblical metaphors is to gain noesis and define the relationship with God through Herberts eyes. In Easter Wings, Herbert structures his poem in the shaped verse. The four stanzas are shaped in deuce sets of angel fells. In terms of rhyme scheme, Herbert uses ababacdcdc in some(prenominal) stanzas. Each stanza represents a different relationship between God and man.Herberts poem deals with mans suffering as the result of his sins and his penitence to God through the end of the poem. The poem starts with the idea that when God created man, man was given what is necessary to survive Lord, who createdst man in wealth and depot (1) God created man with an abundance and wealth of items needed to survive in this world, but man takes Gods gifts for granted ends up losing what was given to him. The greed that man had leads to the falling of man until the wealth given to him by God is nearly gone Decaying more and more, / Till he became / close to poor (3-5).Here, the structu re of the poem is set up with man having all he needs, but by being greedy, he has fallen. This particular poem is amazing it terms of how it addresses the journey of man from his sin to God save him. Each stanza discusses mans self-destruction and how God eventually helps him. The spoken communication of loss and faith comes to play when God comes in. The poem is structured in a way that it starts with man having the most of things and goes to least of things when man sins and loses. For example, the wink stanza moves from discussing mans falling and focuses on mans buy natural covering through God.Herbert writes, With thee / O let me rise / As larks, harmoniously,(7-8). In these lines, man is giving himself to God and hopes that God will allow him to have what he had before the items needed to survive. Similarly, by stanza three and four, we see the repeated mannequin of mans sin and the road to redemption from God. In a way, the structure of the poem is set up so that the re ader realizes that the poem uses the ascending to descending to ascending over again theme. It can be inferred that the person in the poem does good, but falls into sin, yet does good again and is eventually saved.Again, the third stanza addresses the sin of man My tender age in sorrow did begin / And still with sickness and shame / Thou didst so punish sin, / That I became / Most thin (11-14). Here, man discusses how God has punished him for his sins. When man sinned early on he was punished with sickness. Not entirely did God take away his wealth, but he also became sick, causing man to become thin. However, by stanza four, man hopes for redemption. Herbert writes With thee / Let me combine, / And feel this day thy victory, / For, if I imp my wing on thine, / Affliction shall elevate the flight in me (16-20).Here, humanity wants God to become a part of him. As the word imp implies, man wants to attach himself to God so God can see how he is now devoted to him. Man speaks of a ttaching himself (imp) to the wing of God as a means of flying back towards being saved. Man will be taken under Gods wing and will be guided towards the path of righteousness. By doing this, man takes into aim all the suffering that he has endured as a result of being punished for his sins. By reaffirming his devoutness to God, man hopes to redeem himself. In the poem, the words are not the only things that provide meaning.The poems shape also gives meaning. Although the language itself describes the sins and redemption of man, the shape of the poem is what really describes what is being said. As mans destruction is described, the poems line lengths become smaller, and as mans salvation is described, the line lengths become longer. This is what gives the image of two sets of fly, which symbolize mans fall and eventual redemption towards the end of the poem. Here, the metaphysical conceit suggests that the wings are the actual salvation of man. The wings are being compared to a hum an characteristic, salvation.By recognizing his sins, man realizes that the only way he will be forgiven is if he goes towards salvation. It can be inferred that the message of this poem is to be grateful for what you have because it can be taken way in a blink of an eye. However, with repentance and devotion to God, you will be forgiven. In summation, Herberts use of architectural styles is what helps a reader generate the poems meaning. In almost all of his poems, Herberts use of architecture helps aid him in exhibiting the larger meaning. Usually, his ending message is that people must sacrifice what they have if they want a better, blessed life.

How Is Romeo Presented in the First Two Acts of Romeo and Juliet

In the first both acts of Romeo and Juliet, Romeo is presented as a young person, whap laid low(p) adult male. He is a dreamer and a fantasist. The audience feels harmonical towards him because love is taking him nowhere.In Act 1, we first meet Romeo as he is sobbing about his love for a young lady, who we by and by ensure out to be Rosaline. The first line he speaks, Is the mean solar day so young?, suggests that he is bored and waiting for something to happen as he is so shocked about how early it is in the day. To emphasize this, he goes on to say, Ay me, sad hours capturem so long. Benvolio asks Romeo wherefore he is sad and he explains that he is sad because he has no love and his line, Out of here favour where I am in loves shows that the person he loves does not love him.This is how the audience first learns of Romeos love struck ness. To show even more how love struck and sad Romeo is, he admits it to himself when he says, This is not Romeo, he is some another(pr enominal) where. Benvolio asks him to examine other beauties to cure his love sickness. But Romeo says that if his eyes see anything more beautiful than Rosaline, then turn tears to fires. This shows that Romeo is very resolved on Rosaline and believes that no one could be more beautiful than her.On the way to the Capulets party, Romeo is presented as upset and a spoil sport. He explains that he has a soul of lead which stakes him to the ground he cannot touch on. This shows that he is very serious about his love for Rosaline and feels his sadness as a heavy weight on him, not allowing him to have fun, but to grieve. Reluctantly, Romeo agrees to go to the party in the hope that he will find Rosaline.At the Capulets party, Romeo finds another girl, Juliet, and is entranced by her beauty. He asks himself, Did my core group love till now?. This line suggests that he completely travel in love with Juliet and asks himself whether he did love Rosaline or whether he had on the dot go t it into his head. This shows that Romeo was very single-minded and a sudden link is do mingled with him and Juliet. However, as Romeo is so absorbed by Juliet he looses his disguise. When Tybalt, a penetrating Capulet, finds out about this and becomes very angry, describing Romeo as a villain Montague because he has gate crashed the Capulets party. This shows that Tybalt is an enthusiastic Capulet and believes Romeo is of the opposite being. But Capulet himself is in a very jolly mood and he describes Romeo as a stout gentlemen and a well-governed youth, showing that Capulets beliefs of Romeo is that he is a dignified and well behaved young man.Romeo is also depict as a beauteous and gentle young man. This is shown in Act 2, as the Nurse described Romeo as his face be better than any mans and gentle as a lamb. This shows that there are divergent views of Romeo from different characters but, in general, Romeo is presented as a young, handsome and brave young man who is a di stant part of his feud-orientated family.As soon as Romeo falls in love with Juliet a sudden link is made between them. The way they speak is very poetic and in verse, as if they know exactly what to say next. Also, Romeo is presented as religious when he compares his lips to two blushing pilgrims.Romeo is presented as a quite sensible young man and, unlike Benvolio and Mercutio, he doesnt joke about and mess around. He also doesnt seem to be part of the dispute between the Capulets and Montagues, showing how keen his is on love. On the other hand, as soon as Romeo and Juliet fall in love they become trap in their own world and dont mention often about their families being enemies. Romeo sometimes risks his life and many consequences in site to see Juliet, showing how much he truly loves her.Romeo is also presented as a risky and completely taken in man. At the ratiocination of Act 2, Romeo agrees to marry Juliet, but neither the Capulets nor Montagues no about it. This is very risky for Romeo and Juliet and Romeo seems to dismiss the consequences because he is so taken in by Juliet. To make things even more secretive, Romeo arranges for a catch ladder to be sent to the excited Nurse, so that Romeo can uprise into Juliets room to get married.In conclusion, Acts 1 and 2 of Romeo and Juliet presents Romeo as, at first, a fantasists and love struck man. By the end of Act 2, he is seen as a very entranced and risky man, showing his obedience of love towards Juliet.

The Natives of New World

Before the recent-fashioned World was discovered by Christopher Columbus, it was a demesne inhabited by tribes who get d proclaim sun-kissed red skin. flush before America was recognized as the home of free gabardine men, it was the American Indians who cultivated and tilled its destroy. The Native Americans as most hoi polloi refer them cod been essential in tracing the origins of the United States of America. europium had been conquering colonies to increase empiric power and accumulate rich resources. The plainly discovered areas at that period were called the Old World which included Europe, Africa, and Asia (Robertson, Stewart 51).A historied Italian sea-farer had been working on a new route to locomotion to Asia in a shorter time. Christopher Columbus thought of sailing west to be adequate to reach the east, an idea no one ever dared to consider. later many difficulties that he encountered in pursuing the voyage, Columbus landed on a fertile soil greeted by inh abitants which he recognized incomplete as Asians nor Africans. The native-borns were illustrated to have a complexion resembling the color of copper. Their physical attri only ifes were get along described as suchTheir black hair, long and uncurled, floated upon their shoulders, or was choke in tresses around their heads. They had no beards, and every part of their bodies was perfectly good-temperedTheir features singular, rather than disagree fittingthough not tall, they were well-shaped and active. Their faces, and several parts of their body, were unbelievably painted with glaring colors. (71) They were gathered in tribes and were not clothed at that time. The natives were practically astonished by the arrival of the white-skinned settlers.The American Indians were believed to have migrated to the westbound hemisphere using the Bering land bridge. The land bridge connected a path from Siberia all the way to Alaska. Apparently, this bridge was used by the natives to cost the trend of the journey of animals during the ice age (Utter 7). By the time they reached the land, tribes settled and established their homes. Native American tribes were grouped according to blood-relations living in the same territory and spoke a common dialect (57). to each one tribe has its own system of governing members for the purpose of survival and warfare.Tribes have existed even before the Europeans set foot on their land. By the time Christopher Columbus reached the Americas, Native American tribes greeted him and his people, with anxiety and curiosity. After the discovery of the New World, colonizers started flocking to the new land. Migrants from Europe traveled to America to start a new life and to conquer the rich untouched soil. Due to this ample influx of migrants, it started inflicting effects that endangered the natives. Epidemic diseases brought by the foreigners caused deaths among the American Indians.These diseases such as chickenpox and pneumonia did no t prepare the natives to be immune from it (Thornton 28). This greatly reduce the number of Native American population during the time of colonization because of massive number of deaths. The era of conquest took the natives land and grabbed what wealth they have. Aside from this, they neer escaped the commerce of slavery, sexual exploits and discrimination. In later years, the natives were forced to employment and learned how to live like the white people.They were taught not to speak of their native language and to learn English and institutions were built for acculturation of the Caucasian polish (Nagel 115). These kinds of exploits and abuse prompted the natives to fight off the colonizers. They maybe outnumbered by the whites and their weapons were not a match against the pistols but they made sure they have defended themselves. These uprisings were known as the Indian Wars. It became the label for the fight against the natives, to completely eradicate their culture and id enticalness from the New World (Utter 169).Before the acculturation happened, the lifestyle of the American Indians was as whimsical as their physical characteristics. Their spiritual life was governed by what they call The peachy Spirit. The American Indians saw this spirit as the bearer of their good fortune. They get out thanks to this supreme deity when they win battles, good harvest, and good health. On the contrary, they also have a spirit which was a counterpart of the huge one where bad luck was mostly associated (McIntosh 104). The natives hunted animals to be able to live and hunting not just became a necessity but also part of recreation.Hunting became a sport among the natives. By the time the settlers came, horses were re-introduced to them. They domesticated this animal and became part of their everyday lives. From carrying belongings, to hunting games as well as waging wars, horses became a huge part of the Native American society (Fuss & Mellis 9). American Indi ans were described as restless people who enjoyed celebrations such as feasts. They nimble feasts for almost every major activity in their tribes. Feasts were accompanied with lively music, dancing, and prayers.These are celebrated subsequently a hunting trip, in marriage, after curing the sick, after birth, and in funerals (McIntosh 164). The natives always incorporated their spirituality in these celebrations and this made the mark of their identity and culture. They have long been discriminated in their land and colonizers have tried to erase their culture in the New World. However, as time went by, American Indians still fought for the rectify to have their very own place in the land they once called their own. They fought to have independence when it comes to organized religion and practicing their culture.The natives also strived to gain tribal sovereignty (Josephy, Nagel, Johnson 7). This fight for freedom took centuries for it to plump part of a recognized set of laws . In 1975, the Self-Determination feign became one of the first laws that focused on giving the American Indians sovereignty within their own tribes (7). It can be said that this fight that the natives did, subject the doors for anti-discrimination movements. This inspired other minorities like the African Americans and other colored endure to be treated equally as citizens.Theses minorities wanted to be citizens that have the same rights and privileges with the Whites. The struggle of the American Indians can be seen as a starting point for America to be known as the land of the free. Through the course of history, they have suffered and were persecuted in their own land. Their struggle for freedom became the bearer for other minorities to gain confidence in fighting for their right as well. If not for this struggle, America wont recognize the nucleus of freedom with the absence of discrimination. America wont be able to take pride in the land that they claimed to be free.

Modern Family Essay

In innovativee-day Familys episode 15 of season 1 a number of societal averages argon addressed, some of which challenged some others reinforced. Norms such as the ones relating to gay bring togethers with children, typical teen come onrs, and extended families, in other words the adequate older man with the youthfulness hot wife and step kid. Modern Family as by its name offers us a more modern view of family in nowadayss order of magnitude.The premise of Modern Family is a mock documentary-style sitcom fabricated around triplet very several(predicate) families that all sh be kinship a gay couple, whove just espouse a baby daughter from Vietnam a married man and wife with three kids and a May-December marriage between an older man and a cleaning woman who has a son from a prior marriage. This particular episode is ground around Valentine s Day and hook up withs three different stories of Jay and Gloria, Cam and Mitchel, and of course, Phil and Claire.Claire and Phil p lan a Valentines Day excursion which leads them to role playing at a hotel, while Jay and spuds Gloria to a David Brenner stage where Jay gets picked on for being an older husband and is mistaken for Glorias gamyher, and oh yeah He also bought her diamond earrings with this fat wallet. Cam and Mitchel still decide to say at home since Mitchel has had a hanker day at spirt but the two of them are equal to help out a much desperate Manny (Glorias kid) with a crush of his own. One of societys biggest norms is the conflict of marriage and the age at which one is expected to be married and his/her partners age.As shown in Modern Family Jay is significantly older than Gloria who is your typical trophy wife. The show understandably challenges the recognised norm of marriage and how we as a society arrive at come to accept the so called limitations, (i. e. age), of marriage. Episode 15 illustrates in a scene where Jay takes Gloria to a comedy show featuring David Brenner (who is f rom Jays generation) for Valentines Day, however she wants to go salsa dancing. Once there David Brenner mistakes Jay for Glorias father and pick on him for being an older husband.The show clearly challenges the accepted norm of a traditional family/marriage and displays the May-December marriage as an accepted view of the modern family. It also shows how Jay is non the classic husband due to his age difference. As this norm is being presented, the same norm is being challenged in a different way. Earlier in the episode Jays is shown to give Gloria a diamond earring which demonstrations that Jay is a typical husband, one who is expected to buy his wife diamonds earrings, necklaces, and so forthThrough this example, Jay demonstrates the traits that are exhibited in the classic husband. In todays society the issue of gay marriage is a balmy one, where gay marriage is becoming more and more accepted in society but is still illegal in some states of the U. S. An compensate bigger iss ue lies with same-sex couples adopting babies, which is clearly not even fully accepted by society and is not an image that forms when a moving-picture show of a typical family is cast. These norms are tested when the show follows the story of Cam and Mitchel (Jays Son) on Valentines Day.Cam and Mitchel are a gay married couple, who decide to stop at home for Valentines Day. In Modern Family, Mitchel is not shows as a typical gay man instead hes fill with his work and wearing shirts without any flowers or patterns, does not act give care the norm gay man. While Cam on the other hand is a very prototypical gay man, always wearing colorful shirts with patterns, ski binding up Lilly (Cam/Mitchel pick out daughter) in costumes for Valentines Day. These two characters are kinda unlike one another where one reinforces the typical gay man, the other see to challenge the typical gay man.The couple also has an adopted Vietnamese daughter, again challenging the norm in society of a tr aditional family. Cam and Mitchel while staying at home agree to babysit Manny who is upset everyplace a girl who he has written a poem to, hoping it would actuate her. Manny, unlike other kids who hang-out with their friends and ride their bikes, writes poems and is not the least bit self-conscious. He is very mature and intuitive for his age and is often shown doing adult-like things, such as writing poems, challenging the norm of a usual 13 stratum old kid.Fathers in past years have been considered to be stricter on their kids, teaching them discipline and to focus on school. Phil however does not follow that same norm, instead he trys very sturdy even in fact goes out of his way to be a funny dad/husband. Challenging the societal norm of what is known as a typical father. Claire conversely is a very common stay at home, minivan driving house wife who looks after the kids. She reinforced the purpose ideological norms of what a middle class house wife should be like.Talking c are of the kids and being a loving mother. Claire and Phil like a normal couple ex switch only cards and go to a restaurant on Valentines Day which is what theyve been doing for years. However this all changes when the couple decides to go role playing at a hotel. The two disc all over at the hotel bar and he picks her up, she then goes to the bathroom and comes okay wearing her coat with no clothes underneath. As they prepare to go upstairs she gets her coat stuck in the escalator, which she cannot take off.The circumstances turn worse when they begin running into different acquaintances from work and school, all of whom recommend that she take the coat off. These sequences of event illustrate how much distinct Clair and Phil are from a classical couple, challenging the norm of the traditional couple. The norm for a 13 year old boy is quite simple, a goofy, mischievous, and fun-loving boy who is not very bright. This norm is supported in Modern Family through Luke (Clairs son).A s the episode begins Phil and Luke come running into the house laughing over something they call a water weasel, a water pipe aban dod to a nerf ball. Luke is the standard of a typical 13 year old. Phil however is not 13 yet acts like one at times, progress challenging his norm of a typical Dad. The norm for the young juvenile daughter has changed completely over the past decades, now the norm for a teenage girl is almost expected her to be rebellious, irrational and care free. A norm which Haley (Clairs daughter) most definitely reinforces.As illustrated in this episode Haleys boyfriend Dylan give Haley a picture portrait of Haley and himself half-naked in bed, which of course terrifies her mom and she takes it away. Haley patently reinforces the norm of a typical modern day teenager. In conclusion, the norms presented in Modern Family are mostly challenged to that of a typical nuclear family as an ideal, but yet in some instances as in the case of Haley and Claire the norms of the young teenage daughter and the stay at home house wife are confirmed.The show does need a balance of both, to reinforce norms and challenge them to survive a successful comedy. Most of the norms that are challenged are all done in a fun-making manner. The show for the most part encourages the viewer to work for or at least echo on the need for change in society. The episode mostly challenges thoughts of consumption and views the shows audience as citizens not consumerist. Modern Family without a query offers us a look into what in todays society is viewed as a Modern family.

Contribution Of Health To Economic Growth Economics Essay

The linkage surrounded by health status and sparing activity has been debated several times in the yesteryear, and this issue became even more than of import in the last few old ages. This race is instead complex. It has been already recognized that increased guinea pig wealth is linked with breakment of health at single and kind phase.Furthermore, it is clear that improved health status has an return on scotch activity and extent of economical ontogeny. Several surveies in high- , middle- , and low-income claims examined this linkage. These show that a important displacement in paradigm is discernible. Harmonizing to the new paradigm wellness was non considered as a pure byproduct of economic development, but as a of import factor and basic status for economic growing.This panache puting in wellness became a nucleus portion in many an(prenominal) states development schemes and policies. At European degree the purpose of a free-enterprise(a) and dynamic cognitio n establish community was set, enabling sustainable economic growing, invention and a stronger social coherence.The issue of part of human groovy to economic growing was the footing for several treatments and analyses. Until now instruction was considered as the foreland constituent of human roof. In the context of the neo-classical theory, economic growing is dependent on the undermentioned factors stock of capital, stock of labour and arableness. productivity was considered in the first restrict as a factor modify by outside forces. Subsequently on this point of position changed by looking at the investing into human capital as a possible beginning for heightening productiveness and invention. A look for of Becker ( 1964 ) was based on the human capital formation. Harmonizing to him an amplification in human capital raises the person s productiveness. It is reached through investing into instruction, developing and wellness.The function of wellness as an other(a)wise of import constituent of human capital beside to instruction was introduced by Grossman ( 1972 ) . Grossman constructed a supposititious account where the demand for wellness was applied in human capital theory. Grossman variediated wellness as a ingestion good and as a capital good. In the instance of the ingestion good people practically enjoy their upbeat and good wellness status.When looking at wellness as a capital good it reduces the figure of yearss spent badly. This manner it enhances the figure of productive on the job yearss and yearss spent for leisure activities. In this context wellness is non merely consumed ( enjoyed by persons ) , but produced at the same clip as good. Persons skunk put into wellness to keep and better it over clip. The abstractive account of Grossman received critics as good, but remained a cardinal theoretical account of analyzing the demand for wellness.Figure 1 Factors act uponing wellness and results counterbalance hypertext transfer protocol //europa.eu.int/comm/health/ph_determinants/healthdeterminants_en.htmFigure 1 represents factors finding the wellness position at single and at society degree, and different convey through which wellness contributes to economic activity. On the left side factors atomic number 18 presented bear oning wellness of persons ge sort outic sciences ( inherited ) life style, instruction, wellness attention and other socioeconomic and environmental factors.Many exogenic factors walloping the wellness position gutter be influenced by public policies. On the right side different ways are presented through which wellness exerts a direct consequence on economic results.When analyzing the linkage between wellness and economic growing the feedback of income on wellness should be taken into consideration excessively. Marmot ( 2002 ) provinces there are two ways of through which income influences wellness status.On one hand higher income can hold a direct affect on stuff conditions holding a positive uphold on biological endurance. On the other manus higher income positively influences societal engagement. Therefore, persons go for better conditions to pull off life fortunes and heighten the feeling of security. ground on Figure 1 there are four chief channels or mechanisms where the consequence of wellness on the economic system is explained.Labor productivenessPeoples with a good wellness position can bring forth more within a defined clip interval. Higher productiveness is arising from better physical and mental wellness. Furthermore, persons with improved physical and mental position can utilize engineering more streamlined and they are expected to be more flexible excessively.Labor add upThe direct consequence of wellness on the labour supply is non manifest in some instances. Good wellness status reduces the figure of threatening yearss spent, and then increase the figure of productive on the job yearss. In this sense it influences determinations on labo ur supply every import good, because of its impact on rewards and expected life-time. In the instance when rewards are connected to productivity a healthier hold outer can bring forth more, therefore heightening rewards and this manner the labour supply. On the other manus a better wellness position enables higher lifetime net incomes increasing the hazard of earlier backdown from working. The decision can be haggard that these effects are based on single penchants. Based on this wellness can impact the economic system in a similar manner as wellness affect single penchants. preparationBased on the theory of human capital more meliorate people can make higher criterions in footings of productiveness and net incomes. With a good wellness persons can accomplish higher educational making lending significantly to future productiveness.Capital FormationThe cardinal point here is, whether the effects of wellness at the micro degree are successfully applicable at macro or state degree , in footings of GDP and growing rate. The mentioned theoretical theoretical accounts already fictional that there should be a positive relationship. Now analyzing several observational surveies the necessary grounds can be collected to do more accurate judgement sing this relationship.In first line, historical surveies contributed significantly to the research of this issue. Robert Fogel was considered as the innovator of the historical plenty attack. These surveies examined the part of wellness to economic growing over a longer clip stopover ( 1-2 centuries ) . Fogel ( 1994 ) found that the development in wellness and nutriment resulted a 30 % addition in income and 1.15 % per capita in the instance of the UK, within two centuries.Researchers salaried less attending to the part of wellness to economic growing in the instance of high-income states. Just a few surveies were made finding the impact of wellness on growing specifically. Some of them found even a negative relation between wellness and economic betterment, but this was generally due to the usage of imperfect wellness forefingers and the institutional policy object lesson for these states.Despite the few negative consequences wellness still remained as a robust determiner for economic growing. The most normally used proxys for wellness are life arithmetic mean and grownup mortality. Knowles and Owen ( 1997 ) made a research on 22 high-income states utilizing life anticipation as a proxy for wellness and found an undistinguished relationship between wellness and economic growing.The consequences were adjusted by Tompa ( 2002 ) , where he stated that the undistinguished result of the survey was due to limited variableness of life anticipation within the elect sample of states. More important consequences were achieved by Beraldo et Al. ( 2005 ) . He found that investings in wellness consequence a 16-27 % addition in growing rates.The work by Suhrcke and Urban ( 2005 ) followed a somewhat diff erent manner by utilizing other indexs. They used non-communicable diseases as a footing to analyze the impact of wellness on growing in high-income states in a better manner.More specifically, cardiovascular disease ( CVD ) was used as a placeholder for wellness. 26 high income states were taken as a sample in the clip period of 40 old ages. Consequences showed that CVD is a robust index in the instance of high-income states. A decrease of 10 % in CVD resulted an addition in the growing rate of per capita GDP by 1 per centum point.The consequences of existential surveies show that merely appropriate factors enable the accurate scrutiny of the relationship between wellness and economic growing. The best indexs are life anticipation and mortality rate, but in add-on CVD is good every bit good, because it shows more variableness among high-income states than life anticipation does. Furthermore, mental illness and other morbidity indexs for rich states are suggested by Tompa ( 2002 ) .

Statement of Career Goals

As an knowledge base(prenominal) savant from the Taiwan, my primary c argoner objective is to beget a financial analyst specializing in accounting knowledge systems for a multinational corporation. My impulse to abide by a career for a multinational comp some(prenominal) does not barely represent a motivation to generate profits on my side. remote to a greater extent(prenominal) essential, I feel that a com/strategic-management-and-competitive-advantage/multinational put fire gather the potential of becoming a truly ethnical entity for globalization, mutual savvy and the extension of opportunity.In a manner of speaking, my career goal lays in the belief that I great deal stand by transform the international merchandiseplace from its highly profit-centered orientation into a to a greater extent people-centered endeavor. bit I do not hold the legitimate way of making m superstary as contradictory to the ethical norms art, I nevertheless feel that useing to warra nt that the peoples welfare is met in the conduct of fair business is a duty second to none. Concretely, I seek to use my multi-cultural backcloth to help develop ties among businesses and cause-oriented sectors.This I suppose I can do by framing shipway to increase interactions between profit making companies and non-profit or open feeled sectors. Global corporations in America, for instance, bring already donated millions to international charities. From such benevolence, I regaining extravagance in my desire to parent similar ties. By capitalizing on my multi-cultural background, as well as my pregnant turn overing experiences related to finance and technology, on top of my ten-year commitment to charitable organizations, I see that I can direct my future goals to light up my idea of success.I intend to build on these accomplishments specific anyy by lot businesses thrive in a competitive global market, by exploiting information systems to perform increasingly m ore sophisticated, powerful and accurate analyses. I carry already assisted a charitable organization to minimize its costs by helping them to digitize their data. I too cook performed similar functions for profit-driven businesses which I ware had the privilege of scoreing with in Taipei. My desire to join the pool of a truly talented multinational men stick tos with a sense of relevance on my part.For one, Asia is fast becoming a hub for global financial communication. In view of such development, I believe that my Asian background and language skills will be invaluable to the rate of flow trend of global business. The dependency of numerous American firms on eastside Asian economies will surely demand people Asians specifically who diarrhoea key roles in efforts to achieve powerful work ethics. As indeed, legion(predicate) competent Asians shall be asked to assist American businessmen in take note to the mutual cooperation within the vast business industry.Since I myself am an Asian, I am of the firm opinion that that success in the international eye socket depends on a strong knowledge of Asian culture and ways of animation. In a global economy, understanding cross-cultural communication is as essential as competent grasp of Math and/or English. Furthermore, information systems are at the center of international business nowadays. And I penury to continue to learn ab step to the fore their functioning, evolution and their future, as this will restrain itself at the center of global communication.I want to learn more some the process of financial analysis in general, as well as technologies that can seduce such analysis more accurate, convenient, cost-efficient and powerful in particular. Since I already have near knowledge and expertise in this area, I believe I will inflate in the classroom and be in a position to expire way to discussions. I envision creating group projects in which my peers and I demonstrate how, hypothesise companies can use the information systems available in new-sprung(prenominal) ground markets.Among others, I am interested in learnedness new ways to apply accuracy of information systems if and business organizations can become more efficient. I define efficiency as the ability shut in strategies so as to get the most results from the smallest amount of work. Far more critical, I want to learn the ways of efficiency since it will provide firms to use labor in a more humane way, specially in the developing world. Reforms in the labor market can only develop when firms are confident that they are getting the most out of their workers. Hence, the efficient use of labor and resources lies at the center of labor market amend.For me, business is ethics without it, businesses are merely machines for exploitation. One of the great learning unearthed by globalization lays in the need for comprehensive labor reform i. e. , forming a mindset that treats human persons neither as resou rces nor way of life to make notes, but as ends. This ethical view can only help business become more humanitarian yet competitive in many respects. In view of such felt need, I believe that my extensive travels, diverse experiences, and sound grasp of the languages can summarily give me a unique ability to serve for a multinational setting.I do have significant experiences both in terms of connection philanthropy as well as in international business. Which is why, and on a more personal level, I want to meet new people in the course of my employment. My frequent travels have made me realize that I am a citizen of the world and I have come to understand various cultures even when economics does in fact greatly color my orientation in respect to future work and life goals. My long-term career goal is to make the world smaller.This might sound strange, but I hold to the view that international business is a benign force, a force that brings people together, provides opportunities where none exists, and even may help to contribute to world peace. Businesses seek peace and common welfare not warfare or ethnic and religious tension. An interconnected world is a sure route to world peace. And the ease of communications is Copernican in relation to this trend. Hence, I see my future profession as both ethically consistent and relevantly attuned to the demands of the signs of the times.Essay II teaching of Need I grew up in an environment where intemperate work was stressed above all. At a young age, I was evaluate to get a job and assist in fulfilling true dwelling tasks. In ways more than one, failure was never an option. I was expect to work hard, interact ethically with others, and make myself as unobtrusive as possible. None of these were ever interpreted as being a wallflower. To the contrary, I was raised in an environment where professional duties, no matter how menial, are given higher premium than most.This is because my family fostered the grad es of dedication and hard work, as well as keeping a sense of history and setting high the bar of excellence in facing challenges. I have reasons to think that nearly all things about my upbringing were goal oriented. Hard-work was endlessly underscored idleness always shunned. In the like manner, labor for our family was considered a means of building character and goal-oriented personality. As a way to concretely call down the case in point, I took upon myself the tall challenge of working rich shift while learning English simultaneously.I took cue from the inspiration lent by my parents, as they were the ones who taught me that multi-lingualism was central to being successful in business. In fact, they encouraged multiculturalism because it does not entail that ones usage were to be abanthroughd or watered down by some vulgar, polyglot, or identity-less morass. To the contrary, multiculturalism was to manifest ones own culture more actively and more tolerantly, being that i t fully appreciates the distinctness and uniqueness of ones tradition.While the phrase is surely overused, I have reasons to think that I was, in my own concrete way, living the American vision long before I arrived here in the coupled States of America. This is because I simultaneously held a job while working hard to tick succeeding in high school back when I was in Taiwan. I have had a fair share of lifes struggles I would run home after school, quickly change my tally and, after grabbing a snack, proceed hastily to work at a restaurant within Hilton Hotel. I was like living two different lives in one day i. . an ordinary high school pupil in the morning and a professional thereafter. That being said, I take pride in managing the routine so well in that travel between school and work soon became second disposition to me. but while I have many good reasons to think that I can face similar challenges here in the United States, my endorse unfortunately does not permit me t o work and study at the same time. To this end, I am currently unemployed, not because I had choice, but because the nature of my visa would not permit to work in this bucolic yet.My role is therefore precarious. As an international student, I have many obstacles to overcome. While the fact that I am able to study in this country is in itself a blessing to be grateful about, I am always left anxious about keeping an acceptable and dainty lifestyle while I am in course of engage my studies. If truth be said, the living expenses here in the United States are high more importantly, tuition costs here in statute mile is higher than for most Americans. Strictly speaking, I am spending about $32,000 annually to defray my tuition expenses.And I must cover all of these expenses by myself, as I am living alone. One can only therefore surmise that the aggregate costs of basic living, day-to-day food, apartment rentals, clothing allowance, provisions for books, necessary computer equipme nts, among others are save very high. Since the American government forbids that I engage in any professional work while studying, I believe that I can do little to accompaniment myself financially. At present, I receive a small sum of money from my family in Taiwan the amount of support that I am able to receive is quite minimal.My father is 65 years of age and has retired from his profession. In fact, his savings are now nigh depleted. In addition, our family has already mortgaged our home in China so as to assist me in my studies. My personal savings from my previous work in Taiwan is also almost completely exhausted. My other option is to go heavily into debt, which I am already doing. Unfortunately, I cannot have this continue. Hence, this scholarship is extremely important to me. And I am willing to work hard if only to prove that I do deserve to be helped on account of my qualifications as well as exigencies.Since coming to the United States, I have maintained a GPA of 3. 6 at the University of Michigan and Mercer University. I need to also mention that I have consistently maintained my position in the Deans name for many years. Ever since I have been here in Michigan, I have met people from all over the world and I value these fruitful encounters precisely because of the learning that these people have left me with. In applying for International Business, I seek to continue learning from as many fronts as possible i. . , from the peoples of different walks of life in general, and the University in particular. Hence, I wish to categorically state my willingness to learn, and let the committee know that money that shall be spent on me would never go wasted. America has done much for me. But my struggles continue. I do not view these as barriers however. To the contrary, I see them as welcome opportunities. My life has been one of hard work and struggle. As indeed, my life here at Michigan is conscionable one more phase of this struggle.The struggle s are some of my most preciously memories for only though hardship can we truly learn and grow. Without them, I would not become as sharp or hard working as I am today. Struggles keep ones heart strong and tenacious. As of this writing however, my financial standing has come to a critical point that I need the help of the University and the scholarships available in order to help me to continue my studies. I am more than certain that, when given this rare privilege, the University community will not regret extending their helping hand to me.
