You will choose a topic from the Complete Marriage and Family Home Reference Guide to study more closely. In 4–6 pages, you will compare current knowledge with facts from research and then examine the chosen topic from both a psychological and a theological perspective.
1. Briefly provide your initial thoughts on the topic. This section will not require source material. The purpose is simply for you to identify what you know about this topic. You may discuss facts, a biblical perspective, the moral dilemma involved in the topic, or just your thoughts around the topic. This section must be 1 page.
2. Look at the research that has been done on the topic. This section must be well-organized with headings and subheadings and must include at least 4 empirical sources. This section must be 2–3 pages. You may consider, but are not confined to, the following prompts and questions:
· Check some of what you know against what research has to say. How could this topic affect a marriage or family?
· What are benefits and consequences of approaching this topic and working through it within the affected family unit?
3. Compare the psychological and theological perspectives of the topic. The point here is to compare what the research says about the topic to what the Bible says about the topic. Not all of the topics from "The Quick-Reference Guide to Marriage and Family Counseling" are directly mentioned in the Bible. However, you may use biblical principles and discuss similarities and discrepancies found between these 2 perspectives. This section must be 1–2 pages.
4. The conclusion of this paper must include a good summary of the information provided in the preceding 3 sections. You must also provide an idea for future study of the topic. What further information could be provided in relation to this topic? For example, what are some variables that play a part of depression in marriage? Is depression within marriage easier to work through if the depression is a result of a mood disorder or of circumstances outside of the marriage?
5. Correct current APA formatting must be implemented throughout this paper, including avoiding first person and using properly formatted citations and headings. A title page and references page must be included; however, an abstract will NOT be necessary for this assignment. Assignment instructions and the grading rubric must be carefully reviewed to ensure that all assignment criteria are met.

Introduction
Experiments are best suited for explanation and evaluation research
Experiments involve:
Taking action
Observing the consequences of that action
Especially suited for hypothesis testing
Often occur in the field
The Classical Experiment Classical experiment: a specific way of structuring researchInvolves three major components:
Independent variable and dependent variable
Pretesting and posttesting
Experimental group and control group
Independent and Dependent Variables
The independent variable takes the form of a dichotomous stimulus that is either present or absent
It varies (i.e., is independent) in our experimental process
The dependent variable is the outcome, the effect we expect to see
Might be physical conditions, social behavior, attitudes, feelings, or beliefs
Pretesting and Posttesting
Subjects are initially measured in terms of the DV prior to association with the IV (pretested)
Then, they are exposed to the IV
Then, they are remeasured in terms of the DV (posttested)
Differences noted between the measurements on the DV are attributed to influence of IV
Experimental and Control Groups
Experimental group: exposed to whatever treatment, policy, initiative we are testing
Control group: very similar to experimental group, except that they are NOT exposed
Can involve more than one experimental or control group
If we see a difference, we want to make sure it is due to the IV, and not to a difference between the two groups
Placebo
We often don’t want people to know if they are receiving treatment or not
We expose our control group to a “dummy” independent variable just so we are treating everyone the same
Medical research: participants don’t know what they are taking
Ensures that changes in DV actually result from IV and are not psychologically based
Double-Blind Experiment
Experimenters may be more likely to “observe” improvements among those who received drug
In a double-blind experiment, neither the subjects nor the experimenters know which is the experimental group and which is the control group
Selecting Subjects
First, must decide on target population – the group to which the results of your experiment will apply
Second, must decide how to select particular members from that group for your experiment
Cardinal rule – ensure that experimental and control groups are as similar as possible
RandomizationRandomization: produces an experimental and control group that are statistically equivalentEssential feature of experimentsEliminates systematic bias
Experiments and Causal Inference
Experimental design ensures:
Cause precedes effect via taking posttest
Empirical correlation exists via comparing pretest to posttest
No spurious 3rd variable influencing correlation via posttest comparison between experimental and control groups, and via randomization

Expansion and Isolationism in Eurasia
How did approaches to cultural interaction shape empires in Eurasia?
Introduction
In 1279, under the leadership of Kublai Khan, the Mongols ousted the Song dynasty
and completed their conquest of China. As they
took control, they established the Yuan dynasty,
with Kublai Khan serving as emperor. However,
Mongol rule over China was relatively short lived.
Within 100 years, the Yuan dynasty would be
forced out by Chinese rebels.
Under Mongol rule, the Chinese became
increasingly angered by policies that favored
Mongols and foreigners. This anger and resentment
eventually resulted in unrest. Around 1350, small
states in China began to emerge to fight the
Mongols. Chinese leaders turned to military force to
advance their interests and establish regional
power. Some leaders were members of the upper class, and others were religious
leaders or bandits supported by peasants. By the middle of the 1350s, these Chinese
powers were united in their campaign to get rid of Mongol rule.
The years of ongoing warfare spurred military innovation among the Chinese.
Although the Mongols had access to gunpowder weapons, they did not develop new
technologies. In contrast, the first large cannons in China were manufactured by the
Chinese rebels. While the term “Gunpowder Empire” is often associated with the
Ottoman Empire, the Safavid Empire, and the Mughal Empire, the Chinese
advancements in gunpowder weaponry has led some historians to regard Ming China
as the world’s first gunpowder empire.

Expansion and Isolationism in Eurasia
How did approaches to cultural interaction shape empires in Eurasia?
In this lesson, you will learn about three countries in Eurasia that used gunpowder
to expand and maintain their control: China, Japan, and Russia. You will consider the
rise and fall of the Ming and Qing dynasties in China. You will examine the unification of
Japan under the Tokugawa. Finally, you will explore the growth of the Russian Empire
during the Romanov dynasty.
Section 1. China Under the Ming and Qing
Between the 14th and the early 20th centuries,
two dynasties governed China: the Ming and the Qing.
Both dynasties took power during times of upheaval.
To restore order, they established strong, centralized
rule and revived traditional Chinese values, including
Confucian ideals.
The Ming Revival By the mid-1300s, China was in
turmoil. The Mongols’ hold on power had became
unstable. Disease and natural disasters had weakened
the Mongol grip. Additionally, feuds broke out within the government, leaving the
countryside unprotected against bandits and rebels.
As life became more dangerous and difficult, Chinese peasants grew increasingly
frustrated with the incompetence of their rulers. Led by Zhu Yuanzhang, a peasant
uprising successfully invaded the city of Nanjing. In 1368, aided by gunpowder
weapons, Zhu and his army capt ...

EXPEDIA VS. PRICELINE -- WHOSE MEDIA PLAN TO BOOK Optim.docx
EXPEDIA VS. PRICELINE -- WHOSE
MEDIA PLAN TO BOOK?
Optimedia's Antony Young Analyzes the Media Strategies
Behind Rival Travel Sites
By Antony Young
Published: June 30, 2010
As schools break for summer, some families -- like mine -- are still planning their vacations. So I
took a look at two prominent travel sites, Expedia and Priceline, to see which one's media strategy
is likely to attract more trip planners.
Their media plans are especially important as the travel industry picks up after a tough 2009.
Demand for flights and hotels are rebounding and so, too, are airfares and room rates. With
slimmer margins on airline tickets, hotels have very much become the major battleground for
Expedia and Priceline and this is reflected in the focus of their advertising. Online Travel Agencies
(OTA's) accounted for 34.7% of all U.S. hotel bookings in the first quarter of 2010, up from 27.8% in
2009, Priceline CMO Brett Keller said in a recent speech.
Creative executions
Expedia launched a new branding campaign for 2010. Its tagline, "Where you book matters,"
accompanied a new logo incorporated into its creative messaging. The campaign, which targets
frequent leisure travelers, launched Dec. 26 with commercials featuring a visual metaphor of
building blocks as a way to demonstrate how consumers interact with Expedia. The first spot starts
with upbeat soft-rock music narrated by an unseen woman dictating her specifications for the
perfect "girls' weekend." She talks about having multiple hotel options and the ability to compare
dates for the best savings. Expedia's signature "dot coooom" jingle ends the spot. A spot with a
man's voice and trip goals was launched in February.

Priceline has built its position in the market on the opportunity for customers to name their own
price, brought to life through some hilarious spots fronted by pitchman William Shatner. This year,
Shatner introduced his new sidekick "Big Deal," a 520 lb 6'5" character who helps persuade hotels
to take a deal. In February, the Big Deal ads were joined by new creative that featured the
Negotiator's "Evil Twin" (played, of course, by Shatner). Priceline takes a karate chop at
Expedia.com (and Hotels.com), claiming that Priceline can get prices 50% lower.
The strategies of the two companies differed noticeably. Expedia.com attracted 16.7 million unique
visitors in May, 59% more than the 10.5 million who visited Priceline.com, according to ComScore.
And Expedia media seems to reflect this, promoting the site as the generic travel brand for a broad
audience and highlighting its full range of services and travel destinations. Priceline is more single-
mindedly focused on price, and its media appears to target lower down the purchase funnel with an
emphasis on converting transactions.

Experiments with duckweed–moth systems suggest that
global warming may reduce rather than promote
herbivory
TJISSE VAN DER HEIDE, RUDI M. M. ROIJACKERS, EDWIN T. H. M. PEETERS AND
EGBERT H. VAN NES
Department of Environmental Sciences, Aquatic Ecology and Water Quality Management group, Wageningen University,
Wageningen, The Netherlands
SUMMARY
1. Wilf & Labandeira (1999) suggested that increased temperatures because of global
warming will cause an increase in herbivory by insects. This conclusion was based on the
supposed effect of temperature on herbivores but did not consider an effect of temperature
on plant growth.
2. We studied the effect of temperature on grazing pressure by the small China-mark moth
(Cataclysta lemnata L.) on Lemna minor L. in laboratory experiments.
3. Between temperatures of 15 and 24 �C we found a sigmoidal increase in C. lemnata
grazing rates, and an approximately linear increase in L. minor growth rates. Therefore, an
increase in temperature did not always result in higher grazing pressure by this insect as
the regrowth of Lemna changes also.
4. At temperatures below 18.7 �C, Lemna benefited more than Cataclysta from an increase in
temperature, causing a decrease in grazing pressure.
5. In the context of global warming, we conclude that rising temperatures will not
necessarily increase grazing pressure by herbivorous insects.
Keywords: Cataclysta, grazing, herbivory, Lemna, temperature
Introduction
Duckweeds (Lemnaceae) are often abundant in dit-
ches and ponds (Landolt, 1986). Especially when
nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations in the water
column are high, the surface area can become covered
with dense floating mats of duckweed (Lüönd, 1980,
1983; Portielje & Roijackers, 1995). These mats have
large impacts on freshwater ecosystems, restricting
oxygen supply (Pokorny & Rejmánková, 1983), light
availability of algae and submerged macrophytes
(Wolek, 1974) and temperature fluxes (Dale &
Gillespie, 1976; Landolt, 1986; Goldsborough, 1993).
These changed conditions often have a negative effect
on the biodiversity of the ecosystem (Janse & van
Puijenbroek, 1998). Other free-floating plants such as
red water fern (Azolla filiculoides), water hyacinth
(Eichhornia crassipes) and water lettuce (Pistia stratiotes)
often cause serious problems in tropical and sub-
tropical regions (Mehra et al., 1999; Hill, 2003).
Various species of herbivorous insects consume
free-floating macrophytes. Several species of weevils
(Coleoptera: Curculionidae) are able to consume large
amounts of red water fern, water hyacinth and water
lettuce (Cilliers, 1991; Hill & Cilliers, 1999; Aguilar
et al., 2003), while the larvae of the semi-aquatic Small
China-mark moth (Cataclysta lemnata) are capable of
removing large parts of floating cover of Lemnaceae
covers (Wesenberg-Lund, 1943). Duckweed is not
only used as food source, but also as building material

EXPERIMENT 1 OBSERVATION OF MITOSIS IN A PLANT CELLData Table.docx
This document summarizes a journal article that examines the concept of self-forgiveness. It begins by noting that while research on interpersonal forgiveness has increased greatly, self-forgiveness has received little attention. The document then provides definitions of self-forgiveness from philosophy and psychology literature. It distinguishes self-forgiveness from interpersonal forgiveness and pseudo self-forgiveness. A theoretical model of the processes involved in self-forgiveness after wrongdoing is outlined. The document discusses emotional, cognitive, and offense-related determinants of self-forgiveness and calls for more research on this important topic.

CASE STUDY 9
ST. LUKE'S HEALTH CARE SYSTEM
Hospitals have been some of the earliest adopters of wireless local area
networks (WLANs). The clinician user population is typically mobile and
spread out across a number of buildings, with a need to enter and access
data in real time. St. Luke's Episcopal Health System in Houston, Texas
(www.stlukestexas.com) is a good example of a hospital that has made
effective use wireless technologies to streamline clinical work processes.
Their wireless network is distributed throughout several hospital buildings
and is used in many different applications. The majority of the St. Luke’s
staff uses wireless devices to access data in real-time, 24 hours a day.
Examples include the following:
• Diagnosing patients and charting their progress: Doctors and
nurses use wireless laptops and tablet PCs to track and chart patient
care data.
• Prescriptions: Medications are dispensed from a cart that is wheeled
from room to room. Clinician uses a wireless scanner to scan the
patient's ID bracelet. If a prescription order has been changed or
cancelled, the clinician will know immediately because the mobile device
displays current patient data.
http://www.stlukestexas.com/
C9-2
• Critical care units: These areas use the WLAN because running hard
wires would mean moving ceiling panels. The dust and microbes that
such work stirs up would pose a threat to patients.
• Case management: The case managers in the Utilization Management
Department use the WLAN to document patient reviews, insurance
calls/authorization information, and denial information. The wireless
session enables real time access to information that ensures the correct
level of care for a patient and/or timely discharge.
• Blood management: Blood management is a complex process that
involves monitoring both patients and blood products during all stages of
a treatment process. To ensure that blood products and patients are
matched correctly, St. Luke’s uses a wireless bar code scanning process
that involves scanning both patient and blood product bar codes during
the infusion process. This enables clinicians to confirm patient and blood
product identification before proceeding with t ...
Executive SummaryXYZ Development, LLC has requested ASU Geotechn.docx
Executive Summary
XYZ Development, LLC has requested ASU Geotechnical, Inc. to organize a geotechnical evaluation with recommendations regarding foundation for three planned structures. XYZ Development, LLC has planned to construct a three-story medical tower, a one-story office building, and a multi-story parking garage on a 10-acre property that is in West Memphis, AR. In addition, an 18-feet high retaining wall is planned to be constructed on the north side of the parking garage.
ASU Geotechnical, Inc. was provided with soil data included a log of a borehole that extended to a depth of 100 feet. Has recommended a 6’ x 6’ shallow foundation for the one- story building at depth of 5 feet. The expected settlement under the foundation for the parking garage was calculated to be 1.09 inches, and the expected settlement for the medical tower was calculated to be 0.78 inch. Also, ASU Geotechnical, Inc. has recommended a drilled shaft deep foundation design to be used for the three-story medical tower. Furthermore, for the 3-story medical tower the pile should have a diameter of 48 inches and reach a depth of 40 feet below the ground surface with a total of 2 piles required per column. For the multi-story parking garage, a drilled shaft should have a diameter of 48 inches and reach a depth of 70 feet below the ground surface with a total of 2 piles required per column.
The expected total differential settlement for the parking garage was calculated to be 0.31 inches, and the total differential settlement for the tower was calculated to be 0.23 inch. The recommended dimensions for the retaining wall include a 12-foot-wide footing base with 1.5-foot thickness. The entire retaining wall should have a total height of 20 feet, with only 18 feet above the ground surface. The 0.5 foot of soil above the toe was placed to adjust the effects of sliding of the wall. The base of the stem wall should have a thickness of 1.5-foot, and the top of the stem wall should have a thickness of 8 inches. Also, the factor of safety for sliding was calculated to be 1.59, the factor of safety for the bearing capacity was calculated to be 2.78

Executive SummaryBuilding Information Modelling (BIM) is a modelli.docx
Executive Summary
Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a modelling software defined by its unique approach towards building and construction. It is designed to operate through modelling technology which is comprised of multiple processes for production, communication, and analysis of building information and data models. The use of BIM is aimed at improving the efficiency of designing, construction and operation of buildings and other structures through information retrieval, 3D visualization, and integrated automated drawing production. BIM also helps in automatic detection of conflicts in data and information continuity, intelligent documentation, and the automation of material take. Despite the fact that there are several benefits associated with the use and application of BIM in the construction industry, there is a wide perception among stakeholders that it is not fully implemented as it should be due to factors such as the initial cost of implementation which is quite high and lack of client demand in the design and construction of buildings. These barriers act as a major hindrance towards the implementation of BIM on a wider scale. For the process to be more effective, clients need to have adequate knowledge and understanding on the application and benefits of BIM and the processes involved in the implementation. This research includes a detailed literature review on building designs and various application models including 2D models which have been used in the construction industry. A detailed analysis of the limitations of visualization, cost estimation, as well as consistency in information and data retrieval is also outlined in the paper. In addition, the challenges faced in building design and have been addressed using 3D models have also been addressed.

Introduction
BIM modelling is a digital representation of both the physical and functional features of a building structure. With the increasing adoption of Information Technology (IT) within the construction industry, BIM is slowly become a very popular concept. It is capable of sharing data and information on particular facilities thus providing a reliable platform for informed decision making (Ibrahim, & Komali, 2018, p. 13). These details are critic ...

Exploring how an area’s
crime-to-cop ratios impact
patrol officer productivity
Luke Bonkiewicz
Lincoln Police Department, Lincoln, Nebraska, USA
Abstract
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine how the combined crime rate and staffing levels of
a patrol area affect patrol officers’ productivity. Specifically, the author identified and analyzed two
macro-level correlates of patrol officer productivity: reported violent crimes per officer and reported
property crimes per officer (a beat’s “crime-to-cop” ratios).
Design/methodology/approach – Using hierarchical linear modeling, the author estimated the
effects of a patrol area’s violent crimes per officer ratio and property crimes per officer ratio on
the annual number of traffic citations, warrants, misdemeanor arrests, and felony arrests generated by
patrol officers (n ¼ 302). The author also examined the effect of these crime-to-cop ratios on a more
advanced productivity metric.
Findings – The results suggest that a patrol area’s rate of property crimes per officer is associated
with a moderate decrease in an officer’s annual number of traffic citations, warrant arrests, and
misdemeanor arrests; a patrol area’s rate of violent crimes per officer is also associated with a moderate
decrease in an officer’s annual number of traffic citations; and a patrol area’s rate of violent crimes per
officer is associated with a moderate increase in an officer’s annual number of warrant and
misdemeanor arrests. Notably, the crime-to-cop ratios are not correlated with a more sophisticated
patrol productivity metric.
Research limitations/implications – The author analyzed data from a mid-sized US police
department that uses a generalists policing style. It is unknown if these results translate to smaller or
larger police departments, as well as those agencies practicing a specialized policing style.
Practical implications – The findings suggest that police scholars should not only recognize how
the crime-to-cop ratios of a patrol area might impact patrol officer productivity, but also incorporate
more sophisticated metrics of patrol officer activity in future studies. These findings likewise signal to
police practitioners that an area’s crime-to-cop ratios should be considered when allocating officers and
other resources across patrol areas.
Originality/value – To the authors knowledge, this is the first study to identify and examine the link
between a patrol area’s crime-to-cop ratios and patrol officer productivity.

Executive SummaryThe report explores Zam restaurant starting.docx
Executive Summary
The report explores Zam restaurant starting with an evaluation of the restaurant business sector in Khobar city/region. It highlights how crucial it is to have a defined targeted market, which in this case is eighteen to thirty-five-year-old young adults. Marketing such a restaurant to such a young age group could be done relatively inexpensively through the help of social media. Finally, excellent customer care is crucial if Zam restaurant wants to succeed in the industry.
Introduction
Zam restaurant is located in Khobar, Saudi Arabia. It specializes in serving local indigenous gulf meals in its menu. The restaurant will mainly target young people who attend universities within the city (Rhou, Singal & Koh, 2016). Zam restaurant has a sitting capacity of fifty guests during any given time in the day. The restaurant operates from 7 AM to 11.30 P.M every day of the week.
Industry Evaluation
There was an absence of restaurants that cater to students and young professionals in the area. With such a large population in this city, there is a mostly untapped market in the food and hospitality industry. I, therefore, viewed this as an opportunity to gain a foothold in the restaurant business. There are numerous other restaurants within the area that cater to different clientele; however, there is room for another restaurant.
Target Market
The restaurant will mainly target young customers between the ages of seventeen to thirty years old. It will prioritize good customer care to increase the likelihood of repeat customers (Grosul & Ivanova, 2017). The customers will mostly be students and young professionals that have just started working. The targeted clients do not have a lot of disposable income, but what makes them attractive is their sheer numbers and size. The menu will thus be priced accordingly to make the food items affordable.
Employees
Zam restaurant will start by having four full-time employees. This number will increase depending on how the restaurant performs during its initial months operating. Extra workers will be taken on a part-time basis to ensure service quality gets maintained while keeping our running costs low (DuRivage, 2016). The part-time employees will mostly be sourced from local institutions of higher learning (Kauhanen & Nätti, 2015). It will be a great way to connect with the restaurant’s core clientele and make the brand more attractive to them.
Marketing
As a young business that targets young people, Zam restaurant will initially rely on the power of social media to make sure the city’s residents are aware it is about to open (Felix, Rauschnabel & Hinsch, 2017). It will do this by paying for sponsored ad posts on Facebook to appear on the Facebook pages of anyone that logs in within the larger Khobar region (Stephen, 2016). Doing this is relatively inexpensive and could effectively create a buzz on the ground while pushing the establishment’s name (Menon, Bharadwaj, Adidam & Edison, 2015). A ...

Existentialism From SartreIn our text, Sartre, in effect, provi.docx
Existentialism: From Sartre
In our text, Sartre, in effect, provides three ways to understand Existentialism:
“Existentialism is nothing else than an attempt to draw all the consequences of a coherent atheistic position.”
· Atheism is Sartre’s starting point.
“There is no human nature. . . . Man is nothing else but what he makes of himself. Such is the first principle of existentialism.” Again, Sartre says about this claim, that it is a “given that . . . there is no human nature for me to depend on.”
· Atheism generates the claims that no human nature exists.
“Existential philosophy is above all a philosophy that asserts that existence precedes essence.”
· This third claims is probably the most well-known, and the most fundamental to Existentialism. Thus, let’s add a few points:
For Sartre, both “essence” and “existence” mean what they have always meant in philosophy: by essence, Sartre refers to the qualities that enable one to “define” a given X: “the ensemble of . . . the properties which enable it [the given X] to be defined.” By “existence” Sartre means that which is actually present in the world: existence is “presence . . . in front of me.”
So, what is so unique about Sartre’s formula: the uniqueness derives from Sartre’s way of relating these two traditional concepts: traditionally the formula was: “Essence precedes existence.” Hence, this formula radically converts the traditional formula, the result of which, transforms the traditional, philosophic view of the world.
To explicate his claim, Sartre introduces the manufacturing of a paper cutter: the maker of the tool knows in advance what he or she plans to make; he or she is aware of “what” a paper cutter is; he or she knows the “essence” of a paper cutter, thus, the “essence” of the paper cutter precedes its “existence.” Hence, the one who designs the object is the one who knows best the essence or nature of the thing being made.
Now, let’s relate this to the first two formulas above: the traditional religious view of the world posits God as the designer of the human being and, because there is a designer, the thing being designed must possess an “essence,” one that precedes its “existence.” Thus, note the following three points:
· “What is meant here by saying that existence precedes essence? It means that, first, man exists and only afterwards, defines himself.”
· “Man . . . is indefinable.” Thus, the definition of the person “remains forever open.”
· “There is no human nature.” Hence, the claim that no human nature exists follows from the rejection of God’s existence: “There is no human nature, since there is no God to conceive it.”
So, let’s now ask: What, then, is the human being? Sartre: “At first, he is nothing.” And, later? Later, the person is “nothing else but what he makes himself.” Hence, human beings invent themselves without the benefit of any pre-given design. And, here, we encounter a key notion in Sartre: freedom. Yet, this freedom is not the sort associated wit ...

Exploring Intercultural Competence/ Diversity
As a college we have been asked to use the rubric that is attached to this assignment to reflect on issues of Global and Social Diversity. The list of questions is an attempt to have you think and write about your thoughts on personal culture/bias/social diversity/your world view etc. (Your answers will not be shared with anyone)
1. We all grow up experiencing the culture of our families and communities. List and explain 4 rules/customs that you, your family and/or your community follows. (Awareness)
2. On a scale of 1 to 5 (1 being not very aware to 5 being very aware) how aware would you say you are of your own culture? (Awareness)
3. When making new friends, do you find that you seek out people that are similar or different than you? (Awareness)
4. What other cultures are you familiar with? What have you learned about these cultures (for example their history, values, politics, communication styles, economy, beliefs and practices. (World View)
5. When you think about the world and different cultures/religions do you find yourself judging other views/lifestyles or beliefs? Or are you more likely to read, research and questions things you don’t know? (Empathy)
6. Has someone ever been biased toward you because of your beliefs? How did that make you feel? Did you find that you could still empathize with someone who was biased against you? (Empathy)
7. Communication is not limited to just words. We communicate through personal space, hand gestures and voice tone and body language. Have you experienced miscommunications with someone of another culture due to any of these factors? Or have you been misunderstood due to any of these factors? Give an example that describes what happened. (Verbal and Non-verbal Communication)
8. Are you curious about the world and people that act and believe differently than you do? What are five experiences (Cultural Bucket List) you would like to have to increase your cultural awareness? (Curiosity)
9. On a scale of 1-5 (1 indicates you are rather closed and 5 indicating that you are very open), how would you rate your attitude/openness to other cultures? (Openness)
Are you eager to learn about new cultures or are you more cautious when it comes to being around people who appear different? (Openness)
10. When you find yourself in a new situation where you are out of your comfort zone do you find that you make judgements or can you suspend your judgments at least until you have learned more about the new experience? (Openness)

EXPEDIA VS. PRICELINE -- WHOSE MEDIA PLAN TO BOOK Optim.docx
EXPEDIA VS. PRICELINE -- WHOSE

Optimedia's Antony Young Analyzes the Media Strategies
Behind Rival Travel Sites
By Antony Young
Published: June 30, 2010
As schools break for summer, some families -- like mine -- are still planning their vacations. So I
took a look at two prominent travel sites, Expedia and Priceline, to see which one's media strategy
is likely to attract more trip planners.
Their media plans are especially important as the travel industry picks up after a tough 2009.
Demand for flights and hotels are rebounding and so, too, are airfares and room rates. With
slimmer margins on airline tickets, hotels have very much become the major battleground for
Expedia and Priceline and this is reflected in the focus of their advertising. Online Travel Agencies
(OTA's) accounted for 34.7% of all U.S. hotel bookings in the first quarter of 2010, up from 27.8% in
2009, Priceline CMO Brett Keller said in a recent speech.
Creative executions
Expedia launched a new branding campaign for 2010. Its tagline, "Where you book matters,"
accompanied a new logo incorporated into its creative messaging. The campaign, which targets
frequent leisure travelers, launched Dec. 26 with commercials featuring a visual metaphor of
building blocks as a way to demonstrate how consumers interact with Expedia. The first spot starts
with upbeat soft-rock music narrated by an unseen woman dictating her specifications for the
perfect "girls' weekend." She talks about having multiple hotel options and the ability to compare
dates for the best savings. Expedia's signature "dot coooom" jingle ends the spot. A spot with a
man's voice and trip goals was launched in February.
http://adage.com/
Priceline has built its position in the market on the opportunity for customers to name their own
price, brought to life through some hilarious spots fronted by pitchman William Shatner. This year,
Shatner introduced his new sidekick "Big Deal," a 520 lb 6'5" character who helps persuade hotels
to take a deal. In February, the Big Deal ads were joined by new creative that featured the
Negotiator's "Evil Twin" (played, of course, by Shatner). Priceline takes a karate chop at
Expedia.com (and Hotels.com), claiming that Priceline can get prices 50% lower.
The strategies of the two companies differed noticeably. Expedia.com attracted 16.7 million unique
visitors in May, 59% more than the 10.5 million who visited Priceline.com, according to ComScore.
And Expedia media seems to reflect this, promoting the site as the generic travel brand for a broad
audience and highlighting its full range of services and travel destinations. Priceline is more single-
mindedly focused on price, and its media appears to target lower down the purchase funnel with an
emphasis on converting transactions.

Experiments with duckweed–moth systems suggest that
global warming may reduce rather than promote
herbivory
TJISSE VAN DER HEIDE, RUDI M. M. ROIJACKERS, EDWIN T. H. M. PEETERS AND
EGBERT H. VAN NES
Department of Environmental Sciences, Aquatic Ecology and Water Quality Management group, Wageningen University,
Wageningen, The Netherlands
SUMMARY
1. Wilf & Labandeira (1999) suggested that increased temperatures because of global
warming will cause an increase in herbivory by insects. This conclusion was based on the
supposed effect of temperature on herbivores but did not consider an effect of temperature
on plant growth.
2. We studied the effect of temperature on grazing pressure by the small China-mark moth
(Cataclysta lemnata L.) on Lemna minor L. in laboratory experiments.
3. Between temperatures of 15 and 24 �C we found a sigmoidal increase in C. lemnata
grazing rates, and an approximately linear increase in L. minor growth rates. Therefore, an
increase in temperature did not always result in higher grazing pressure by this insect as
the regrowth of Lemna changes also.
4. At temperatures below 18.7 �C, Lemna benefited more than Cataclysta from an increase in
temperature, causing a decrease in grazing pressure.
5. In the context of global warming, we conclude that rising temperatures will not
necessarily increase grazing pressure by herbivorous insects.
Keywords: Cataclysta, grazing, herbivory, Lemna, temperature
Introduction
Duckweeds (Lemnaceae) are often abundant in dit-
ches and ponds (Landolt, 1986). Especially when
nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations in the water
column are high, the surface area can become covered
with dense floating mats of duckweed (Lüönd, 1980,
1983; Portielje & Roijackers, 1995). These mats have
large impacts on freshwater ecosystems, restricting
oxygen supply (Pokorny & Rejmánková, 1983), light
availability of algae and submerged macrophytes
(Wolek, 1974) and temperature fluxes (Dale &
Gillespie, 1976; Landolt, 1986; Goldsborough, 1993).
These changed conditions often have a negative effect
on the biodiversity of the ecosystem (Janse & van
Puijenbroek, 1998). Other free-floating plants such as
red water fern (Azolla filiculoides), water hyacinth
(Eichhornia crassipes) and water lettuce (Pistia stratiotes)
often cause serious problems in tropical and sub-
tropical regions (Mehra et al., 1999; Hill, 2003).
Various species of herbivorous insects consume
free-floating macrophytes. Several species of weevils
(Coleoptera: Curculionidae) are able to consume large
amounts of red water fern, water hyacinth and water
lettuce (Cilliers, 1991; Hill & Cilliers, 1999; Aguilar
et al., 2003), while the larvae of the semi-aquatic Small
China-mark moth (Cataclysta lemnata) are capable of
removing large parts of floating cover of Lemnaceae
covers (Wesenberg-Lund, 1943). Duckweed is not
only used as food source, but also as building material

EXPERIMENT 1 OBSERVATION OF MITOSIS IN A PLANT CELLData Table.docx
This document summarizes a journal article that examines the concept of self-forgiveness. It begins by noting that while research on interpersonal forgiveness has increased greatly, self-forgiveness has received little attention. The document then provides definitions of self-forgiveness from philosophy and psychology literature. It distinguishes self-forgiveness from interpersonal forgiveness and pseudo self-forgiveness. A theoretical model of the processes involved in self-forgiveness after wrongdoing is outlined. The document discusses emotional, cognitive, and offense-related determinants of self-forgiveness and calls for more research on this important topic.

CASE STUDY 9
ST. LUKE'S HEALTH CARE SYSTEM
Hospitals have been some of the earliest adopters of wireless local area
networks (WLANs). The clinician user population is typically mobile and
spread out across a number of buildings, with a need to enter and access
data in real time. St. Luke's Episcopal Health System in Houston, Texas
(www.stlukestexas.com) is a good example of a hospital that has made
effective use wireless technologies to streamline clinical work processes.
Their wireless network is distributed throughout several hospital buildings
and is used in many different applications. The majority of the St. Luke’s
staff uses wireless devices to access data in real-time, 24 hours a day.
Examples include the following:
• Diagnosing patients and charting their progress: Doctors and
nurses use wireless laptops and tablet PCs to track and chart patient
care data.
• Prescriptions: Medications are dispensed from a cart that is wheeled
from room to room. Clinician uses a wireless scanner to scan the
patient's ID bracelet. If a prescription order has been changed or
cancelled, the clinician will know immediately because the mobile device
displays current patient data.
http://www.stlukestexas.com/
C9-2
• Critical care units: These areas use the WLAN because running hard
wires would mean moving ceiling panels. The dust and microbes that
such work stirs up would pose a threat to patients.
• Case management: The case managers in the Utilization Management
Department use the WLAN to document patient reviews, insurance
calls/authorization information, and denial information. The wireless
session enables real time access to information that ensures the correct
level of care for a patient and/or timely discharge.
• Blood management: Blood management is a complex process that
involves monitoring both patients and blood products during all stages of
a treatment process. To ensure that blood products and patients are
matched correctly, St. Luke’s uses a wireless bar code scanning process
that involves scanning both patient and blood product bar codes during
the infusion process. This enables clinicians to confirm patient and blood
product identification before proceeding with t ...

Executive SummaryBuilding Information Modelling (BIM) is a modelli.docx
Executive Summary
Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a modelling software defined by its unique approach towards building and construction. It is designed to operate through modelling technology which is comprised of multiple processes for production, communication, and analysis of building information and data models. The use of BIM is aimed at improving the efficiency of designing, construction and operation of buildings and other structures through information retrieval, 3D visualization, and integrated automated drawing production. BIM also helps in automatic detection of conflicts in data and information continuity, intelligent documentation, and the automation of material take. Despite the fact that there are several benefits associated with the use and application of BIM in the construction industry, there is a wide perception among stakeholders that it is not fully implemented as it should be due to factors such as the initial cost of implementation which is quite high and lack of client demand in the design and construction of buildings. These barriers act as a major hindrance towards the implementation of BIM on a wider scale. For the process to be more effective, clients need to have adequate knowledge and understanding on the application and benefits of BIM and the processes involved in the implementation. This research includes a detailed literature review on building designs and various application models including 2D models which have been used in the construction industry. A detailed analysis of the limitations of visualization, cost estimation, as well as consistency in information and data retrieval is also outlined in the paper. In addition, the challenges faced in building design and have been addressed using 3D models have also been addressed.

Exploring how an area’s
crime-to-cop ratios impact
patrol officer productivity
Luke Bonkiewicz
Lincoln Police Department, Lincoln, Nebraska, USA
Abstract
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine how the combined crime rate and staffing levels of
a patrol area affect patrol officers’ productivity. Specifically, the author identified and analyzed two
macro-level correlates of patrol officer productivity: reported violent crimes per officer and reported
property crimes per officer (a beat’s “crime-to-cop” ratios).
Design/methodology/approach – Using hierarchical linear modeling, the author estimated the
effects of a patrol area’s violent crimes per officer ratio and property crimes per officer ratio on
the annual number of traffic citations, warrants, misdemeanor arrests, and felony arrests generated by
patrol officers (n ¼ 302). The author also examined the effect of these crime-to-cop ratios on a more
advanced productivity metric.
Findings – The results suggest that a patrol area’s rate of property crimes per officer is associated
with a moderate decrease in an officer’s annual number of traffic citations, warrant arrests, and
misdemeanor arrests; a patrol area’s rate of violent crimes per officer is also associated with a moderate
decrease in an officer’s annual number of traffic citations; and a patrol area’s rate of violent crimes per
officer is associated with a moderate increase in an officer’s annual number of warrant and
misdemeanor arrests. Notably, the crime-to-cop ratios are not correlated with a more sophisticated
patrol productivity metric.
Research limitations/implications – The author analyzed data from a mid-sized US police
department that uses a generalists policing style. It is unknown if these results translate to smaller or
larger police departments, as well as those agencies practicing a specialized policing style.
Practical implications – The findings suggest that police scholars should not only recognize how
the crime-to-cop ratios of a patrol area might impact patrol officer productivity, but also incorporate
more sophisticated metrics of patrol officer activity in future studies. These findings likewise signal to
police practitioners that an area’s crime-to-cop ratios should be considered when allocating officers and
other resources across patrol areas.
Originality/value – To the authors knowledge, this is the first study to identify and examine the link
between a patrol area’s crime-to-cop ratios and patrol officer productivity.

Executive SummaryThe report explores Zam restaurant starting.docx
Executive Summary
The report explores Zam restaurant starting with an evaluation of the restaurant business sector in Khobar city/region. It highlights how crucial it is to have a defined targeted market, which in this case is eighteen to thirty-five-year-old young adults. Marketing such a restaurant to such a young age group could be done relatively inexpensively through the help of social media. Finally, excellent customer care is crucial if Zam restaurant wants to succeed in the industry.
Introduction
Zam restaurant is located in Khobar, Saudi Arabia. It specializes in serving local indigenous gulf meals in its menu. The restaurant will mainly target young people who attend universities within the city (Rhou, Singal & Koh, 2016). Zam restaurant has a sitting capacity of fifty guests during any given time in the day. The restaurant operates from 7 AM to 11.30 P.M every day of the week.
Industry Evaluation
There was an absence of restaurants that cater to students and young professionals in the area. With such a large population in this city, there is a mostly untapped market in the food and hospitality industry. I, therefore, viewed this as an opportunity to gain a foothold in the restaurant business. There are numerous other restaurants within the area that cater to different clientele; however, there is room for another restaurant.
Target Market
The restaurant will mainly target young customers between the ages of seventeen to thirty years old. It will prioritize good customer care to increase the likelihood of repeat customers (Grosul & Ivanova, 2017). The customers will mostly be students and young professionals that have just started working. The targeted clients do not have a lot of disposable income, but what makes them attractive is their sheer numbers and size. The menu will thus be priced accordingly to make the food items affordable.
Employees
Zam restaurant will start by having four full-time employees. This number will increase depending on how the restaurant performs during its initial months operating. Extra workers will be taken on a part-time basis to ensure service quality gets maintained while keeping our running costs low (DuRivage, 2016). The part-time employees will mostly be sourced from local institutions of higher learning (Kauhanen & Nätti, 2015). It will be a great way to connect with the restaurant’s core clientele and make the brand more attractive to them.
Marketing
As a young business that targets young people, Zam restaurant will initially rely on the power of social media to make sure the city’s residents are aware it is about to open (Felix, Rauschnabel & Hinsch, 2017). It will do this by paying for sponsored ad posts on Facebook to appear on the Facebook pages of anyone that logs in within the larger Khobar region (Stephen, 2016). Doing this is relatively inexpensive and could effectively create a buzz on the ground while pushing the establishment’s name (Menon, Bharadwaj, Adidam & Edison, 2015). A ...

Existentialism From SartreIn our text, Sartre, in effect, provi.docx
Existentialism: From Sartre
In our text, Sartre, in effect, provides three ways to understand Existentialism:
“Existentialism is nothing else than an attempt to draw all the consequences of a coherent atheistic position.”
· Atheism is Sartre’s starting point.
“There is no human nature. . . . Man is nothing else but what he makes of himself. Such is the first principle of existentialism.” Again, Sartre says about this claim, that it is a “given that . . . there is no human nature for me to depend on.”
· Atheism generates the claims that no human nature exists.
“Existential philosophy is above all a philosophy that asserts that existence precedes essence.”
· This third claims is probably the most well-known, and the most fundamental to Existentialism. Thus, let’s add a few points:
For Sartre, both “essence” and “existence” mean what they have always meant in philosophy: by essence, Sartre refers to the qualities that enable one to “define” a given X: “the ensemble of . . . the properties which enable it [the given X] to be defined.” By “existence” Sartre means that which is actually present in the world: existence is “presence . . . in front of me.”
So, what is so unique about Sartre’s formula: the uniqueness derives from Sartre’s way of relating these two traditional concepts: traditionally the formula was: “Essence precedes existence.” Hence, this formula radically converts the traditional formula, the result of which, transforms the traditional, philosophic view of the world.
To explicate his claim, Sartre introduces the manufacturing of a paper cutter: the maker of the tool knows in advance what he or she plans to make; he or she is aware of “what” a paper cutter is; he or she knows the “essence” of a paper cutter, thus, the “essence” of the paper cutter precedes its “existence.” Hence, the one who designs the object is the one who knows best the essence or nature of the thing being made.
Now, let’s relate this to the first two formulas above: the traditional religious view of the world posits God as the designer of the human being and, because there is a designer, the thing being designed must possess an “essence,” one that precedes its “existence.” Thus, note the following three points:
· “What is meant here by saying that existence precedes essence? It means that, first, man exists and only afterwards, defines himself.”
· “Man . . . is indefinable.” Thus, the definition of the person “remains forever open.”
· “There is no human nature.” Hence, the claim that no human nature exists follows from the rejection of God’s existence: “There is no human nature, since there is no God to conceive it.”
So, let’s now ask: What, then, is the human being? Sartre: “At first, he is nothing.” And, later? Later, the person is “nothing else but what he makes himself.” Hence, human beings invent themselves without the benefit of any pre-given design. And, here, we encounter a key notion in Sartre: freedom. Yet, this freedom is not the sort associated wit ...

2. On a scale of 1 to 5 (1 being not very aware to 5 being very aware) how aware would you say you are of your own culture? (Awareness)
3. When making new friends, do you find that you seek out people that are similar or different than you? (Awareness)
4. What other cultures are you familiar with? What have you learned about these cultures (for example their history, values, politics, communication styles, economy, beliefs and practices. (World View)
5. When you think about the world and different cultures/religions do you find yourself judging other views/lifestyles or beliefs? Or are you more likely to read, research and questions things you don’t know? (Empathy)
6. Has someone ever been biased toward you because of your beliefs? How did that make you feel? Did you find that you could still empathize with someone who was biased against you? (Empathy)
7. Communication is not limited to just words. We communicate through personal space, hand gestures and voice tone and body language. Have you experienced miscommunications with someone of another culture due to any of these factors? Or have you been misunderstood due to any of these factors? Give an example that describes what happened. (Verbal and Non-verbal Communication)
8. Are you curious about the world and people that act and believe differently than you do? What are five experiences (Cultural Bucket List) you would like to have to increase your cultural awareness? (Curiosity)
9. On a scale of 1-5 (1 indicates you are rather closed and 5 indicating that you are very open), how would you rate your attitude/openness to other cultures? (Openness)
Are you eager to learn about new cultures or are you more cautious when it comes to being around people who appear different? (Openness)
10. When you find yourself in a new situation where you are out of your comfort zone do you find that you make judgements or can you suspend your judgments at least until you have learned more about the new experience? (Openness)

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.
