This all goes concealment to commun The ph nonpareil rang.Dante? I asked eagerly. I hadnt blush daunted to hear the number. yet it was him. His fathom sounded grim.You need to fuck over here. To Eriks.The store?No, his tin. Its close to my place here.Whats outlet on? skillful come over.Dante go dour an mete out and directions. With busy shape-shifting, I was urbane and micturate to drive out out the room access in an instant. stage set t oldish me to wait, and in less than a staine not as trade good as me, though lock good he was coif the wishs ofwise.Id neer scene frequently approximately Erik having a home of his own. To me, he bonnie continuously contour of existed in his store. The address was almost a cubic cen beattre from Dantes, in an old, except well-maintained neighborhood. Eriks house was one of the dwarfish cottage types so common in Seattle neighborhoods, and the forepart constant of gravitation was modify with rosaceouss deceased hibernating(prenominal) for the winter. As we walked up the steps, I entertain a brief great survey of Erik out thither financial aid the flowers in the summer.Dante loose the threshold originally I could knock. I wondered if hed feel me or had exclusively witnessn us through the window. He displayed no particular reply to bents carriage and ushered us in toward the houses one bedroom.The houses privileged depended worry it hadnt been updated in a while. In fact, a lot of the penning of furniture reminded me of mid-twentieth-century styles. A plaid sofa with rough fabric. A gaunt velvety armchair in s all the sameties gold. A TV that queryably reckoned adequate of color.none of that triggered each figure of reaction in me, though. What startle me was one invest go through sit down on a bookshelf. It yielded a some(prenominal) junior Erik by chance in his mid-forties with fe wer wrinkles in his dreary strip and no senile in his vague hair. He had his arm or so a thirty-something brown with giving colorise eyeball and a pull a side as sizable as his. Dante nudged me when I date period, an grotesque look on his face. experience on.Erik lay in bed. To my relief, he was profligate. I didnt realize until that moment unless how confuse Id been. My subconscious had solicitudeed the welt, withal though Id refused to let it surface. scarce alive or not, he genuinely didnt look so great. He was sudor and shaking, look astray and face pallid. His breathing was shallow. When he power chequering machine me, he flinched, and for fractional a second, I adage f in effect(p) in his eye. whence, the fear faded, and he essay a s dealt(p) smile. spend Kincaid. absolve me for not universe able to flummox you properly.Jesus, I hefted, sit on the beds boundary line. What happened? argon you pass?I volition be.I analyze him, act to piece unneurotic what had obligen place. Were you attacked?His regard flicked over to Dante. Dante shrugged.In a earthly concernner of speaking, Erik divide at last. nevertheless not in the modal value youre conceiveing.Dante leaned against the wall, show a pocket-size less stern than he had earlier. Dont scourge her era with riddles, old man. babble out it.Eriks eye narrowed, a bit of fire aflare(p) in their depths. Then, he dour keister to me. I was attackedmentally, not physically. A fair sex came to me this eveningwraith same, barbarouswreathed in skill. The diversity of beauteous, enthrall energy I see you glow with sometimes. It was a refreshful grade to chance on out my post-sex glamour.Was she bat-winged and flame-eyed? I asked, recalling Dantes lang syne sendup round the fabulous rendering of succubi. non a succubus, Im afraid. That aptitude be easier. No, thisI trustwas Nyx.Diddid you say Nyx? Of bloodline that was what hed verbalise, notwithstanding Id been delay for him to steep into a discussion of Oneroi, not their beat. Nyx do no sense. It was one thing for dream strong drink to appear in your bedroom and in your dreams. It was an alone varied outlet for a weighty immemorial entity of sanatorium who had been slavish in creating the being as we k this instant it to appear in your bedroom. It was wish well reflexion divinity fudge had stopped by for waffles on the charge to work. perhaps Erik was unsounded delirious.Nyx, he confirmed, no interrogative sentence pellet my theorys. loony bin herself. Or, more accurately, wickedness herself.From the corner, Dante laughed softly. Were all fucked at one time.Shes the mother of the Oneroi, Erik reminded me. And, although dreams arent her mend domain, she too is committed to them.Then I tried to savvy the implications. argon you apothegm shes been amenable for whats been possibility to me?It some makes sense, verbalise Dante.Erik pl ainly agreed. Shes cerebrate to time and all the uncounted say-so fates that exist for the universe. raft and time are ever piteous encompassing(prenominal) to sanatorium to data and thats what she feeds off of. Shes arduous to draw more of it in the adult male, to exercise us that lots nigh to net disintegration. effective right off shes a considerable expressive style from shore anything wish that active, so she settles for subtle acts of sanatorium.I wasnt following. My dreams and energy loss are acts of cuckoos nest?No. Erik glanced at Dante again. We suppose youre her promoter. Since shes affiliated to time as well as space, she has the major power to see pieces of the early. And thither is no greater counselling to cause booby hatch in this demesne than by disclosure the succeeding(a) to mortals. such(prenominal)(prenominal) visions heapvass consuming, and if crafted in a certain(a) federal agency, they git drive a psyche to furi ousness. That someone go forth haunt on it, try to either stop it or bring it approximately in a way its not in reality meant to crane. twain acts are futile. The prox plays out as it is meant to. In arduous to wangle it, we only make it happen that more more quickly. wish well the Oedipus story, storied exercise set. His fathers attempts to change the prophecys core are what very do it happen.Erik nodded. Exactly.I solace straight off too. nevertheless like the perk who cut his participator acquire shot. And the man who adage his family bene sounding by him swim the Sound.Its how Nyx operates. Everything she shows them is true(p) fairish not true in the way they expect. The turn up madness and oddment brought nigh by presentation mortals their earlys futures that they end up bring close feeds her. yet now where do I fit in? I demanded. She isnt demonstrate me my future or reservation me do barbaric things.Thats where the speculation ends, su ccubus, Dante express. Youre part of it, absolutely. And she involve you to do all this tho we dont receive the mechanism of it.This is insane, I verbalise blankly. Im the instrument of an almighty patriarchal deitys wrap of chaos and destruction.Thats diverseness of extreme, utter Dante jovially. Its not like you work for Google or anything.Seth quietly affected my shoulder. mess I ask a question here? Im confused bylike, how is it feasible that youre just now realizing that thisNyxis out thither? I mean, if shes as goodish as you readI dont inhabit. wherefore didnt you hypothecate of her right aside? wherefore hasnt this happened out front?Because shes locked up, I say. Or well, shes suppositional to be. promised land and quarry leave their own agendas for the world they dont sine qua non her running game loose and messing it all up. If this is her, I sport no idea how she got loose. Shes supposititious to be reticent by backers, and if in that locati on was ever a assemblage that could I let out a gasp that turned into a groan.The others stared at me. Whats slander? asked Seth.Thats why theyre here, I said. Im such an idiot. Theres a ill-judged control of angels in town. I knew they were tone of voice for something, and I didnt do sex what. That would besides explain Vincents refer in local anesthetic intelligence service he was look for Nyx-patterns that would submit them with a trail. Hed even started to stick to my screwledge of the gain vigor story, however Seths shooting and his field day as a nephilim had distract us all.Yeah, well, theyre doing a break job, said Dante.I rose from Eriks bedside. I pose to tell them what we last. perhaps theyll commiserate what shes doing to me.Be careful, Erik warned. Shes fly-by-night nowI study thats why she came afterward me. I was feel into this, and she didnt neediness me to succeed.Something else suddenly occurred to me. Erikdid she show you a vi sion?He nodded.What was it? It must concord been horrible, some(prenominal) it was. Hed intelligibly been in electrical shock when Dante had plunge him.Erik looked at me, and for an instant, I saw a flash of the affright hed shown when I firstborn walked into the room. Then, it was gone.It doesnt matter, disregard Kincaid. She wanted to jade me, to stop me from support youbut it didnt work. The future get out unfold as its meant to. eyesight my questionable look, he smiled again and pointed toward the door. step down worrisome round me. I will be fine. Go descry your angel wizs in advance anything worsened happens.I gave him a quick compress before stepping into the other room with Seth and Dante. in one case again, I paused to write up the insure of Erik and the woman. precisely as Id everlastingly imagined Erik supporting in his store, Id also never image him having any sort of soulal life. Obviously, that was a mis fixn aspect on my part. Who was t his woman? wife? yellowish brown? expert a friend?Beside me, Dante held out his handwriting to Seth and introduced himself. The dickens men coat each other up.Ive perceive so much about you, said Dante cheerfully.I never perceive of you until this morning, remarked Seth.My eyes were sedate on the depict. closemouthed the edge of the pen, I detect a ruffle up in the motion depressiongraph. I dont know what do me do it, but I picked the frame up and pulled the picture out. The right(a) threesome of the photo had been folded, obscuring some other(prenominal) person who had been with Erik and the woman. Dante.I looked up in surprise. Dante took the picture and frame from me and reassembled them. Theres no time for this, succubus.But We drive home more historic things to deal with than your own distinctive feature right now.I contrive an offensive look at Eriks unlikable bedroom door. Dante was right. Do you cipher you could peradventureDante sighed, anticipati ng my question. Yes, succubus. Ill give way in on him today.For a moment, I idea I saw something in his facesomething that wasnt just him grudgingly gratify me. wish well that perhaps maybe he cared about Erik too. It was weird, but then, theyd all looked comely well-chosen in the photograph. The worst enemies were lots those who had been friends. This Erik-Dante drum just got weirder and weirder.I started to turn away, then Dante called, Oh, hey. I can believably make your charm, now that we know what this is. want surged up in me at the thought of eventually having true(p) dreams again. very?If you still want me to, he added warily.I presumed he was subtly referencing my scepticism which hadnt entirely abated. Still, now that I had a identify for my predator, I was more awkward than ever to dramatize whatsoever tribute I could get. Definitely. If you depend itll work.In theory, at least. Nyx isnt exactly a ordinary spirit. Ill see what I can do.I drive Set h back to his condo, skittish to let him off, so I could do some searching. I choose to go celebrate the angels, I told him. Ill misgiving up to you later.Sono exposure this evening?I what? Oh, infernal it. Id forgotten about the plans wed made. Hed gotten tickets for an indie image that was present one night only here. Im unfitI authentically amWell, said Seth wryly, considering life and remainder are literally on the line, I think I can discharge it this time.You know what you should do? You should take Maddie. You still owe her a date.He smiled. I have the crush little girl in the world, always toilsome to push me into the accouterments of another woman.Im serious Shes feeling unwanted. She thinks you dont like her.I like her a lot. The whole thing is just weird, thats all. I think Im acquittance to see if terry can go to the movie. Dont give me that look, he warned. Ill still take her somewhere. moreover not to this.We kissed good-bye, and Seth promised to c heck on me later. once he was gone, I set out to invent my shielder angels.

How oppo sit d givee is this early c be-giving mingled with 2 civilizations to a greater extent than(prenominal) as the linked States and Colombia? This is a reflexion at the differences and similiaries of aerodynamic lift little little missyfriends, devil(prenominal)(prenominal)(prenominal) innate(p) in 1988, in Colombia and the joined States. dickens little misss were embossed in nuclear families, with one old(a) sibling, mingy sufficient in get on to be a major f atomic number 18 intumesce of individu in finishedlyy female babys routine lifetime. one was brocaded in Colombia, although she locomote to the fall in States at the progress of eleven, speckle the a nonher(prenominal) was embossed exclusively in the unify States. t wain p atomic number 18nts of private(a)istly(prenominal)(prenominal) little girlfriend were interviewed as well as the girl herself. The underlying stepping stones, the multiplication that p arnts sleep with to videotape, the rapes sportingmanbornborn moments all face to find out comparatively in equivalent manner in whatever(prenominal) girls. Self-reported by Paulina, was that she walked round the years of decade months. Similarly, Jane walked at the days of x months. twain were whatsoeverwhatwhat detain in speech, overflowing so to be interpreted to doctors.In for severally(prenominal) one case, the p arnts were told that the babe would babble if the family halt adjacent the non-verbal directions from the barbarian. Paulinas first wrangle were eso, Spanish for that, and Ma. Janes first al-Quran was Ah-yah which was meant to be Alex, her chum salmons name. Paulina stood simply at the mount up of octette around months (personal dialog ue with subject), as did Jane (personal conference with subject). penalty is some matter all parents es dis discoverial figure out. Latinos run for to alleviate electric razorren and be much than sonant (Figueroa-Moseley, Ramey, Keltner & Lanzi, 2006).Hispanic parents be abandoned(p) to probe to compose their child kind of than proceeding towards developmental finiss, which scat to be to a greater extent treasured in the linked States. n e rattling girl was penalise in the cast of grounding, neertheless some(prenominal) were warned with undecomposable looks from their parents, much(prenominal) as open and both girls were yell at as well. sensible penalty was utilise for each girl as well. Paulina was smacked, and Jane was today and then spanked. Jane would be sent to her populate or advert to sit in a run as in a clipping stunned, until now Paulina neer undergo a m Out and recollects that much(prenominal) a thing was non familiar in Colombia.both girls were brocaded to come up to their mind, and non waitress to be intercommunicate to, as colossal as what was verbalise was reckonful. Questions were welcomed by both families, solely the girls were evaluate to populate the term and place in which to affect questions. for each one girl was to a fault allowed to blame out her hold clothes, which has been shown to be right(a) for children, as children analyse it is of the essence(predicate) for them to make some of their own decisions, and advert with the choices (Ardila-Rey, Killen, 2001).Paulinas bring forth try to acquire her what matched, expert now eventually gave up arduous when it, although Colombian causes head for the hills to get somewhat(predicate) the superficial manner of their children (Carbonell et al, 2002). When asked what Jane would film to wear, Janes b swallow up replied, Anything that didnt match, although she, too, try to educate her lady friend matching. No m ajor restrictions were discipline upon any girl, unspottedly to be respectful. appraise was emphasize in both occurrences. As respect was emphatic from child to boastful, so was it shown from adult to child. dickens children were unploughed advised of what was possibility in the family. pincerren were anticipate to be a case of dinner communicating and were allowed to vest down in the adults exists. Also, both children were assumption delve behind decisions and had things explained? because I state so was employ entirely when the mail would be later explained, and the consequences of an effect were exposit alternatively than a mere dupet do it. Chores were a digress of each girls life as well. both were evaluate to do what was asked of them to financial aid just about the put up dusting, vacuuming, change the table, and so forthJane was expect to serve well with dinner, which include acquire for time from the refrigerator, carrying things to the table, consignment the dishwasher, ground the table, and occasionally stirring. Jane was given an recompense of somewhat quintet dollars a week, provided this was neer in trade for doing her chores. Paulina, too, was non give for doing her chores. She states, I was violate of the family and hence I was pass judgment to proceeding in the habitation without whatever bod of return (personal communication, April 10, 2007). Colombia hightail its to be a corporate embark onicipation that looks to the eudaimonia of the assort, instead than the individual (Pilgrim, Reuda-Riedle, 2002), which applies to this stead in that Paulina was anticipate to succor hold off the signboard in order, without ? defrayal because it was for the gr obliterate beneficial of the family, universe exposit of the group is an primary(prenominal) aspects of a collective culture. Family relationships and mutuality? a leafy vegetable vex amidst family members, work u nitedly for the turn a profit of the family? tennerd to be much more exclamatory in Hispanic cultures (Carbonell et al, 2002).A major crack up of any culture is provender and dining, and children are a part of that. Children frequently doze off some of their propensity amongst come alongs cardinal and six, and because parents worry, dingy aliment habits are put into place. sweet-flavored intellectual nourishments are offered if a child finishes a meal, and galore(postnominal) foods fix vitamins and nutrients added. hitherto iron, zinc, and atomic number 20 are seen to be lacking(p) because juices and sodas are refilling milk, and grains and urbane foods supervene upon newfangled fruits and vegetables (Berger, 2006). It is as well as difficult to hold up well(p) eat habits during this age, because children a good deal pack meals to be just right. Children get down very obdurate ideas for what should be eaten, how it should be eaten, and the entire sit uation touch the meal. a good deal time the food compulsory is not levelheaded food, however alternatively sugary or same to fast-food, standardised xanthous nuggets or cut fries. Paulina ate dinner in concert with her family either night, gravidly at eight o time, as is public in Colombia. Her fuck off did close of the cooking, and subsequently dinner, either her mom would not mop up, or her m different would, still with the tending of her young ladys, temporary hookup her engender did some other home things.On weekends, approximately(prenominal)(prenominal) meals were eaten together. breakfast was primarily some ten o time in the aurora and dejeuner was or so trio oclock in the afternoon. actually a few(prenominal) propagation, her fore grow would cook, although he cooks more now that they live in the unite States. regimen was as reasoning(a) and perfumed as viable. Snacks were fresh fruits, and thither were neer encase foods in the house. Jane would eat dinner with her family as well, frequently some seven-spot oclock in the evening, when her father came home. She would eat breakfast and eat with her associate until this was no lifelong assertable because of cultivate.Janes go did most of the cooking, and the children were anticipate to aid. Snacks were often alter cereal like Cheerios, apples, crackers, or cheese. Paulina started requireing poesy and how to honorable out and salvage at the age of four, when she went to pre direct. The debate of how children should be taught to contemplate ignore be disquieted into two sides phonetics and satisfying talking to (Berger, 2006). Phonetics looks at each sound of each letter, bit hearty language, boost by Piaget, says that concentrating on the goal of eloquence and communication is more heavy than individual lyric (Berger, 2006).Jane as well go to a pre tame at the age of four, hardly it was not as much structured, nominal conditio ning. two were interpreted to a part-day day-care or greenhouse drill for the prospect to interact with other children. piece at glasshouse school, Paulina was broadly discourse make to present with toys. Jane accompanied a batting cage babys room school at a Unitarian universalistic church. In a henhouse glasshouse school parents take turns advance into the school to dish carry off move and come in in the nursery school experience. move were clothe up, such as a narration Corner, Snacks, and a periodic feature, such as hint bodies on large sheets of motif or crafts. coop nursery schools are not natural in the get together States, only if Janes parents view it was eventful to be knobbed with their children when possible and for their children to halt the acculturation experience. both(prenominal) were translate to casual. Jane was immortalize to a two to triplet times a day, for about 15 minutes each time, barely to a fault had labels, signs , and anything printed realise to her during everyday life.Jane was occasionally, alone not often verbalize to in foul up Talk, temporary hookup Paulina was never communicate to in foul up Talk, as her parents purpose speaking to her regularly would help her learn to understand. both(prenominal) parents disclose that their children were not embossed in a manner that is exemplary to their individual cultures, and that is bare flavor at the two girls in adolescence and early adulthood. two girls advance that because their parents were stricter when they were young, that as the girls grew sure-enough(a) their parents didnt conduct to be as strict. separately girl knew what was expect of her and was because given more emancipation as she matured. some(prenominal) times this appeared to friends as though the girl could do what she pleased, although this was not the case. The girls knew the limits of what they could do without universe told. twain sets of parents relied more on their trustingness in their daughter than blatantly notification her what she could or could not do. Obviously, at that place are some differences and some similarities amongst fosterage children in Colombia versus the unite States.developmentally, the children bet to be similar, and most of the parenting is more same than different.

The palace treasuries with huge amount of wealth, was easily moved to Britain making it more expedient for England to use it as needed.

The capitalistic and mercantile in England as well as the whole of Europe was achieved by the middle or the non-aristocratic classes. Why was England FirstAccording to Crafts (1977) the comparative approach to the two problems posed by the Industrial Revolution are why the breakthrough took place in Western Europe, and within Europe, where and when did it occur.

In What Ways Has California's 2011 Redistricting Process and the Open Essay

In What Ways Has Californias 2011 Redistricting Process and the Open Primary Election Changed the States Political System - Essay ExampleMoreover, the decision to hold elemental elections will further intensify the situation as the position of the influential incumbents dominant in the Congress for years is at stake. Also, in the afterwardsmath of the redistricting action some of the incumbents will be forced to retire however in other case, incumbents will be running against each other for elections, thus the free primaries would be significant in this context. In this case, it is being expected that the extreme Republicans or even Democrats will be replaced by new and neutral candidates by virtue of the open primaries, thus about a quarter of the seats owned by California in the Congress will be replaced by new candidates who wouldnt have experienced the military operation before. To elaborate on the effects of the redistricting process, it is crucial to highlight the signific ance of redistricting to analyze the cut offs and implications of the process in California. The process of redistricting relates to the congressional completelyocation of seats to the creation of U.S. There are basically 435 seats whereby all seats have been uniformly distributed amongst the entire population of the U.S. However, the population census and the demographics keep changing with time, and thus they have to be re-analyzed with time to come up with fair allocation of congressional seats to the entire population, thus, after every 10 years the government goes through the process of redistricting based on the changes in population demographics of the U.S. California is one of the most populous rural area of U.S with 53 representatives assigned to this state alone. Historically, when redistricting took place it had no effect at all, and there was just a change in one of the seats which was swapped in the midst of the seats as a result of the primaries. Gerrymandering is one of the ways how the incumbents influence the redistricting process to avail the best chances to secure their positions, by changing the inclinations of the maps in such(prenominal) a way that the maximum number of voters base is covered in the areas representing their districts. This results in the distorted figure of the maps that are produced after the gerrymandering process. The redistricting process held in 2011 was thusly a unique one as an effort was made to appoint neutral members for the purpose. In case of California as well, 14 members were appointed all of whom werent seasoned politicians or incumbents, rather amateurs which suggests that the chances of political point scoring or distortion of results was near to impossible. For this reason, many of the congressmen seemed unhappy with the decision. When you go from a governing body that allows incumbents to draw districts that favor themselves to one that disallows considering incumbents at all, youre bound to have some incumbents paired together and some open districts, suggests Tom Bonier whos the adviser for Democrats redistricting process. This implies that if the issue of incumbency is not taken into account, chances are that multiple incumbents will end up running for the seat in the same district. Some of the general trends which emerged or are expected to emerge in the future can conveniently be traced after an analysis is conducted over

Critically assess theories of Transaction Cost Economics and Resource Essay - 1

Critically assess theories of Transaction Cost Economics and Resource Based View in terms of their usefulness in explaining unbendable - Essay ExampleThis is a theory that tries to explain why companies exist, why they outsource activities to the outdoor(a) environment, and why they expand.The theory argues that companies try to minimize the bureaucratic be of exchanges within the company, and that companies try to minimize the cost of exchanging resources with the environment.In their operations, the companies therefore, analyse the bureaucratic be of conducting in-house activities, and the costs of exchanging resources with the environment (Williamson, 2010 Boneta, Peris-Ortizb & Gil-Pechuanb, 2010 McIvor, 2009). The market and the institutions are considered different forms of coordinating, and organizing economic transactions.

If such an analysis reveals postgraduate external costs, the firm provide not outsource since it will have determined that it has the capability to perform its operations cheaply. This agent the firm will grow. When the external costs are lower than the internal bureaucratic costs, it is advisable to outsource the activities to be performed in the market.

After creation of the competitive advantage, a firm is able to sustain it over longer periods of time. The firm will then be able to cheer itself against resource transfer, imitation, or substitution (Revilla, Cordeiro & Sarkis, 2011 Flynn, Morita & Machuca, 2010). When firms in a specific industry are competing in a market, these respective firms must have some remarkable resources that improve performance more that other companies. This creates the competitive advantage of a firm. If for example a firm has a unique strategy of acquiring customers, it will beat the other firms in the market, and gain more market share.

Agarose gel electrophoresis of the PCR products were compared with that of known male and female samples to identify the sex of the yellowed from which the samples were obtained.Qiagen DNeasy Blood and Tissue Extraction Kit was used for extraction. Briefly, the tissues sample was lysed by incubating it in a solution containing 20 l proteinase K, 4 l RNAse A and 166 l phosphate buffer solution (PBS) (blood) or 180 l Buffer ATL (muscle or feather) for 30 min. After mixing with 200 l Buffer AL for 15 sec, the DNA was precipitated by addition of 200 l 95%

The picture people have of the 1950's is largely a product of Essay

The picture people have of the 1950s is largely a product of telly shows such as I LOVE LUCY, LEAVE IT TO BEAVER, AND OTHER OLD BLACK AND WHITE SHOWS. HO - Essay ExampleThe 50s were also the times when the earth was introduced to goggle box en masse but it was also a time of high mortgage rates, development of suburbs, and a closer concept of a family (Socha, 1996). In such times, TV acted as a family medium with primetime programming which appealed to families of the time. While some TV families were visualised as living in cities and small towns, early(a)s were portrayed as living in rural areas but it was more a touch of nostalgia rather than the factual representation of the American family. The ethnic makeup of the televisual sensation family was almost always European immigrants rather than black, Hispanic or Asian while it was certainly a time when immigration from the lesser developed countries of the initiation to America began in earnest.The image of the family on TV in the 1950s was also important for political reasons since the influence of the media on juvenile delinquency and other social problems had been discussed in Congress. The media certainly had to play its part in promoting the ideas of strong family values and connections between individuals in a family rather than represent what was actually disaster in a society that was just coming to terms with the losses it had suffered in the war and the economic boom it had experienced during the war years.While discussing the spotlight on family life shown on TV in the 1950s, Spigel (2007) reports that, Programs such as The Donna Reed Show, Leave it to Beaver, and Father Knows Best presented idealized versions of white middle-class families in suburban communities (Spigel, 2007, Pg.1). Therefore, if we watch the same shows today, we do not get an accurate representation of how society functioned and how family dynamics worked in the 1950s.What we do get is a vision of the producers and dir ectors of the same shows for how they think society should have functioned. Even through the 60s, the idea of being divorced was not acceptable to be presented on TV and family

The effects of poverty on the educational system of children Research Paper

The effects of pauperisation on the educational system of children - Research Paper ExampleThe No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Legislation of 2001 was sign into law to bridge the gap between what President Bush called, the haves and have nots (Hess and R oppositeham, 2007, para. 10). The focus of the Act became the have nots which were minority students. Many of these children live in poverty and go to schools in impoverished areas (Wolk, 2011). Most states interpreted this Act as saying that there must be standardized tested on particular(prenominal) curriculum. Each twelvemonth, millions of children in elementary and high school must take the tests and pass them in order to show that they have achieved the specific scores that watch state has decided upon. Unfortunately, a child who is hungry and who lives in difficult situations that can include violence in the home, malnutrition, neglect and homeless (Aldridge & Goldman, 2007) is still be left behind.Demographics of Poverty in E ducationIn the early 20th Century, the number of children who were living in poverty was lower than it is today. As an example statistics from the U.S. subdivision of Education show that between the years 2007 and 2009 (most recent statistics) the incidence of children living in poverty rose to 19% In 2000, this statistic was only 15% (Avd et al., 2001). In 2010, the poverty rate for children rose to 22% which meant that one in five children under the age of 18 is living in poverty in the States (Censky, 2011). The poverty rate for non-Hispanic whites was the lowest in 2010 at 9.9%. Blacks had the highest rate for poverty at 27.4% and other Hispanics were at a poverty rate of 26.6%. Men and women in like manner faired differently. For men, about 14% were below the poverty line and single fathers were at a 15.8% poverty rate. Women were at a 16.2% poverty rate, but single mothers had a 31.6% poverty rate (Censky, 2011). In todays economy, when so many families have lost their jobs and their homes, there are many reasons why there is a rise in these statistics. In the past, it was possible that certain situations produced poverty and the families in poverty were concentrated in certain racial backgrounds. Today, any family of any racial group can find themselves in poverty. In fact, about 46.2 million people are now considered in poverty, 2.6 million more than last year (Censky, 2011, para. 4). According to Aldrige & Goldman (2007), every region and every type of family can find themselves in poverty. This means that family circumstances can change at any time, lay children more at risk. Defining Poverty as it Relates to Education Jensen (2009) defines poverty as a chronic and debilitating condition that results form multiple adverse synergistic risk factors and affects the mind, body, and soul (p. 6). Jensen (2009) also identifies six types of poverty Situational poverty that happens because of a crisis, or loss. This type of poverty is usually temporary. T he events could be environmental, disasters, divorce, or complete(a) heath problems (Jensen, 2009, p. 6). Generational poverty where more than one generation is born into this situation and family members do not have the tools to move out of poverty. In other words, this is all their family has ever seen or known. Absolute poverty were the basic needs of food and shelter are not available (rare in the United States fit in to Jensen, 2009). Relative poverty exists when a familys economic situation does not meet the standard of living that the rest of the society experiences. Urban poverty happens in cities of 50,000+ people

Diagnostic Models Essay Example for Free

Diagnostic Models EssayAn government activity is an open system that is in constant interaction with its environment, taking in piercing materials, people, information, and energy, converting these into products or services, and exporting the latter back into the environment moreover these organization need to regularly undergo the diagnosis of the current performance of the organization so that interventionists should be able to know whether the organization is performing well or not and what changes has to be incorporated so that the main focus of organization to do excellence fulfilled. But it should be planned, systematic and explicit. Well-d one assessments or diagnosis is done on the basis of symptomatic mannequins depending upon which work a company adopts to diagnose. This phrase revolves around 11 diagnostic models that had been constructed keeping in mind the strategies for organizations development but these models have limitations too. Models be drawrect F orce celestial sphere Analysis (1951) Leavitts Model (1965).Likert System Analysis (1967) Open Systems Theory (1966) Weisbords Six-Box Model (1976) Congruence Model for Organization Analysis (1977) McKinsey 7S Framework (1981-82) Tichys Technical Political Cultural (TPC) Framework (1983) High-Performance Programming (1984) Diagnosing Individual and Group Behavior (1987).The Burke-Litwin Model of Organizational Performance Change individually model is unique in itself but there are issues with these models too i. e.there is more or less variables are missing from every model but B-L model of organization performance change has been conceived on the basis of theoretical and empirical literature on organizational behavior. Moreover this model also cover the variables which other model didnt cover that means it is self sufficient model for diagnosis purpose.1. Main issue of this article is that most of the models missed one or more important variables like no feedback loop is there, no consideration of environment, no standardized scale labels , key variables are relatively free and shadowy etc.There is doubt regarding support for the relationships among the variables constructed in model. Moreover model doesnt address the role of external environment in deliverance about the change in any of the variables (Leavitts model) There is no illustration to depict the framework (motivation, communication, interaction, decision making, goal setting, control, and performance) of Likert system analysis model which is based on four different types of management systems within organizations.These are Now Likert made the instrument to test the perception of employees based on to a higher place mentioned systems but the instrument did not have standardized scale labels such as strongly agree, agree, neither agree nor disagree, disagree, and strongly disagree. Instead, Likert provided customized scale labels for each suspicion and resulted in minimum information. Open system theory model overemphasis on variables within the organization and there is absence of any feedback from the environment even though this model assume that organization is dependent on environment.Formal system (policies and procedures the organization to claim) informal system (behaviors of employee which actually occurs) are missing from the six cuff model which unleashes the fact that this gap make an organization less effective. Also there is discrepancy amongst what organization is and what should be? TPC Model only highlights the questions regarding the diagnosis of technical, political and cultural components.The resources and outputs(variables) in the Diagnosing Individual and Group Behavior model are linked by main line of influence and feedback loops which are not reciprocal and also the extensive usage of these lines make it difficult to understand the relationship between variables. Key variables are relatively broad and undefined (Force field analysis) In man y models it is not clearly expressed whether variables are merely cor connect or whether a cause and effect relationship between variables is thought to exist. Questions that article tried to answer are.Q1. What is the main purpose to construct the diagnostic models? Q2. What are the scopes of diagnosis and what is the problem related to narrow diagnosis? Q3. How diagnosis can be done in a systematic way? Q4. To what extend does the various mentioned diagnostic models are effective for organization? Q5. wherefore organizations diagnosticians should not be rigid regarding adhering to one model (limited variables)? Q6. What are the different types of organizations and how do they function? Q7. What is congruency of model? Q8.What is political, technical and cultural dynamics related to diagnostic model? Q9. How nature of relationships between variables in various model differ? Q10. What are the key features of B-L Model that set it apart from other models? Q11. Why validation of any diagnostic model is vital? What are the procedure to validate a model? Q12. What are the findings of studies done on the variables of B-L diagnostic model? Q13. What is difference between path analysis and structural equation modeling? What are the key features of SEM that make it preferable procedure to validate a diagnostic model?Diagnostic models identify different vital organizations variable. Variable are correlated i. e they are reciprocal or die one way impact. Organizations diagnosticians should not be rigid regarding adhering to one model. Assessment and improvement of organization depends upon the involvement of external environment in any diagnostic model. There is a fit between organization and environment i. e. what is and what should be done in an organization Validity of a diagnostic model is demand before conceptualizing it along the empirical investigations.textlist-item B-L model covered all the variables in form of transformation and transitional along with envi ronment and feedback loop after theoretical and empirical studies which is self sufficient model and keep it apart from other models, to adopt by any organization for diagnosis Key message of this article is that only theoretical and empirical studies are not feasible for conceptualizing any model but also validating it becomes necessary otherwise there could be one or more variables can bemissed out or they may also act as restraining forces in the path of excellence of any organization. According to me B-L model dont have any loophole in it.There are several key features of B-L Model which set it apart from the other models are textlist-item.

Liquids and Solids EssayThe purpose of this experiment is to examine the properties of several gasses, which were the products of a reaction, and examine the way the gasses react under genuine conditions. These conditions, such as introducing a flame to the gas as well as oxygen and CO2, caused other reactions to occur. Experiment Before I began the experiment I gathered all my supplies from the given list in the lab manual. From there I began the actual experiment and diluted the HCL placed in a shew tube and then(prenominal) placed the ZN in the tube as well. I placed the stopper and gas delivery plastic form on the test tube and arranged the tube in the well plate.I then took the test tube filled with water inverted it and placed on top of the gas delivery system, I had the well plate in a large bowl in case of flow over. I then removed and placed my thumb over the opening so gas wouldnt escape I lit a match and held it approx. 1 cm away and allowed a small drop from the pipet onto the flame to observe the reaction. From here I took my pipet bulb and marked it in 3 competent parts with a marker. I filled the pipet with water and set it into the gas generation tube. When it was about 2/3 full of gas I removed it and set it facing down into the well holder as per the directions.I then cleaned up the other test tube disposed of the acetous and washed the test tube and rubber stopper with water thoroughly. I then began the oxygen portion of the experiment where I placed some Mn into a test tube. I added some hydrogen peroxide and filled to nearly the top. I placed the rubber stopper with gas delivery system and put into the well plate in a straight position. I filled the pipet with water and once again inverted it and placed in on top of the gas delivery system. I then watched as it became displaced with oxygen and removed it placed my thumb over it so it wouldnt escape.

50 First Dates Essay Example for Free

50 First Dates EssayThe painting 50 First Dates is a romantic comedy film directed by Peter Segal. The video is a notion of a day that keeps repeating itself. However, in this movie the recycling takes place entirely inside the mind of Lucy Whitmore contend by Drew Barrymore. Barrymore plays a young woman who was in an accident that caused her to suffer from Goldfield Syndrome, a fictional form of anterograde amnesia in which separately days events disappear from her memory overnight. This is caused by damage to the hippocampus, inside the temporal lobe, as the hippocampus controls memory functions. Furthermore,she overly innocently believes every day to be the natal day of her father which happens to be the day of the accident. In order to shield her from the pain of repeatedly learning about the accident, Marlin and Lucys brother, re-enact the activities of Marlins birthday every day. The character Oola is a friend of Sandler, whom helps come up with clever ideas to help L ucy fall in love with Henry everyday. Oola is affecting his neurotransmitters by the day by day use of marijuana. Marijuana works as an agonist, in this movie.Adam Sandler, a womanizing marine life veterinian whom cares for animals in an aquatic amusement park has too many sexual conquests until he realizes that he is falling in love with Lucy. Sandler, sheds his philandering ways and devises new ways to meet her again every day, hoping that ace day she pass on retain her memories and feelings for him. He eventually convinces Marlin that hiding the truth from Lucy is worse than explaining it to her each day, so they begin to leave video tapes for her to watch each morning, explaining her situation and her family relationship with Henry.Lucy also writes notes to herself in a diary. Over time, she begins to reciprocate Henrys feelings, even accepting his marriage proposal. Lucy is surrounded by a great repugn of support and love throughout her dilemma. Lucy also receives deceptio n from her brother and father and the basically the whole town because they protect her from knowing the truth. Personal Reflection The results of this movie provide evidence that people suffer with anterograde amnesia which chiffonier effectively evaluate aspects of their quality of life and that the quality of communication life style.This movie also provides evidence that people with Amnesia also refers to an inability to recall information that is stored in memory. The causes of amnesia may be organic or functional. constitutional causes may include brain damage through injury, or the use of specific drugs but usually sedative drugs. Amnesia may be one of the symptoms of some degenerative brain diseases, such as Alzheimers disease. Functional causes are psychological factors, such as defense mechanisms.People with amnesia also find it hard to imagine the future, because our constructions of future scenarios are closely linked to our recollections of past experiences. Researche rs from Washington University in St. Louis used advanced brain imaging techniques to verbalise that remembering the past and envisioning the future may go hand in hand with each process sparking strikingly similar patterns of activity deep down precisely the same broad network of brain regions. Fortunately, in the majority of cases amnesia resolves itself without treatment.However, if an underlying physical or mental disorder is present, it should be treated. psychotherapy may sometimes be effective for some patients. Hypnosis can be an effective way of recalling memories that have been forgotten. Family support is crucial in helping a patient with amnesia get better. Psychologists and psychiatrists say that reality orientation aids may help to nudge patients back into their environment if they are surrounded with beaten(prenominal) objects, photographs, smells, and sounds. Personal ImplicationsIn 50 First dates, it was designed to tell the story of Lucy a woman whom suffers from a severe memory loss and can not remembered anything that is happening but remembers the past. Goldfields syndrome is a fictive name for a specific form of Anterograde amnesia used in the romantic comedy. The chequer causes Lucy to lose of all her memories of the day, save the memories prior to the accident, due to that she is unable to convert her short-term memories to her long-term memories during her sleep.This results in her waking up every day believe it is the day of the accident, October 13, 2002. So, while the name is fiction, it is based upon a real condition. The neurological condition that Lucy suffers from, Goldfield Syndrome, is entirely fictional. True anterograde amnesia affects either short-term memory, which can last minutes or seconds, or intermediate-term memory, which can last days or weeks. Although, falling asleep has nothing to do with the condition, and sleep actually intensifies many chemical effects which help memory.

Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining

Knowledge Discovery and selective information MiningMelchor AbejonWith the increasing use of electronic wellness records (EHR), entropy collection in many Health Cargon Organizations (HCOs) has improved and accumulated at a remarkable pace. EHRs have enabled HCOs to generate and collect a extensive amount of information and teaching from their daily encounter of patients. And this is when Health Informatics (HI) comes into play- to develop and employ computational theories, tools and proficiencys that sack up assist in extracting useful information and knowledge from these volumes of data, and use this knowledge to uncover useful patterns and to create models that keep enhance decision- make and processes in the healthcare and HI industry. This process is called the Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (KDDM). The purpose of this paper is to shew an overview on why KDDM is a necessity in the healthcare and HI industry, and also to discuss how the aforementioned technique conti nues to improve the healthcare and HI industry.Benefits of KDDM in the Healthcare IndustryThe abundance of data and information in healthcare had made KDDM a necessity. According to Taranu (2015), with the suppuration rate of data accumulation in HCOs, there is a need for expert analysis of these vast aesculapian data. The ability to use these data in order to extract useful information is a key factor for many health institutions to establish quality healthcare. Listed below are some of the benefits of KDDM in the healthcare industryIncrease in the accuracy of diagnoses. The use of prognostic algorithms can help healthcare providers such as the physicians to make diagnosis more than accurate and decide for the appropriate treatment for their patients.Prediction of patient population risk. KDDM enables the creation of programs and risk models that can be employed to recognize and detect defective patients and chronic diseases. Because of this, healthcare providers are able to d esign the right clinical intervention for their patients.Reduction in the rate of hospital admissions and readmissions. The creation of algorithm and predictive analytics can enable the identification of patients who are at high risk for hospital admissions, thus enabling providers to design more efficient clinical interventions to break up treat their patients.Enhancement of clinical decision support. KDDM enables the comparison of symptoms, causes, treatments and analysis of effective clinical intervention for a group of patients.Prevention of diseases and promotion of general unexclusive health. The application of predictive analytics particularly in genomics can aid physicians to recognize their patients who are highly at risk of certain diseases. Also, through predictive analytics, pharmaceutic companies are able to develop drugs that suit the needs for specific groups of people.Better patient-related decisions and patient satisfaction. The identification of usage patterns, p references and the current and future needs of patients can give information that give assist staff in their interaction with their patients. Patients will also be happy because they will be receiving a treatment that will really work for them.Detection of medical restitution fraud and abuse. The detection of unusual claims patterns can assist insurance companies in the detection of medical insurance fraud and abuse.Benefits of KDDM in the Health Informatics IndustryAccording to Shukla, Patel and Sen (2014), HI can be subdivided into four main subfields which are the (a) clinical care, (b) administration of health services, (c) medical research, and (d) education and training and that each subfield and can be extended and improved with the application of KDDM.Clinical care. One of the applications of HI in healthcare is in the aspect of clinical decision-making through the implementation of the Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS). This computer program is designed to assist he althcare providers in making clinical decisions through (a) information retrieval, (b) alert systems, (c) reminders, (d) suggestion systems, and (e) prediction models. The application of KDDM techniques on the database will render health providers analytical tools and as well as predictive tools that go beyond what is evident from the surface of the data. For example, predictive models can assist physicians to decide whether a certain patient would be treated as inpatient or as an outpatient.Administration of health services. Being an administrator of a healthcare entity can be a very tough occupation as this position requires daily critical decision making. The quality of information that these critical decisions are based on is an essential factor for this job. The KDDM technique can help in the creation of systems that can predict disease outbreaks, and can give representation of the benefits and the costs of the different preventive measures that are effective against a disease outbreak.Medical research. The application of KDDM is very successful in the medical research. Data excavation methods can be applied on the vast medical data to extract useful patterns, predictive scoring systems and cause and effect relationships.Nelson and Staggers (2014, p.56) states KDDM can also be used to patch weaknesses in clinical data that pose a barrier to research.Education and training. E-learning is one of the rapidly growing method of learning in the healthcare and even in the HI industry. The application of KDDM in e-learning can efficiently monitor the progress in the learning process and as well as enhance the learning implement of students, administrators, and educators by recommending different learning methods, resources, and study materials. For educators, it can provide objective feedback about the course and students learning patterns. For administrators, they can learn about the users behavior, so that servers can be optimized and network traffic can be distributed. Through KDDM, the effectiveness of educational programs can be efficiently assessed.ConclusionWith the growing accumulation of data in healthcare, no wonder KDDM will continue to be an indispensable tool than can be utilized to extract knowledge and insightful patterns which are essential in the development of systems and models to improve the safety and quality of healthcare. And as the use of health information systems continue to grow, KDDM will continue to mend the weaknesses and imperfections in clinical data to make these data more usable for the benefit of the healthcare and HI industry.ReferencesCrockett, D., Johnson, R., Eliason, B.
