James Robert "Radio" Kennedy
There are many miraculous people on this planet. Some of these people have had miraculous
experiences, others have accomplished miraculous success, and some people remind us of how
miraculous our lives really are. Every now and then someone comes along who shows us that
miracles really are possible. That was what a mentally handicapped African American boy from
Anderson, South Carolina was put on this Earth to do. The word "miraculous" pretty much describes
James Robert "Radio" Kennedy's whole life. In 1947, he was born into a small family in South
Carolina, and he suffered from a severe hereditary mental handicap. Both James Robert Kennedy's
deceased father, and younger brother, George Allan "Cool Rock" Kennedy, suffered from the same

Eventually, the whole town even had Radio's back, and he was able to touch them all. James may
not have had the opportunity to affect as many people as he has today if it wasn't for the help of
Coach Harold Jones. He ended up taking care of Radio for rest of his life, and still takes care of him
today. It is fair to say that Radio changed Coach Jones' life as much as Coach Jones changed
Radio's.
In a few years Radio was able to talk, and was even accepted into T.L. Hannah high school. At first
he spent most of the time with Coach Jones, who had become the Head Coach of the football team
and the Athletic Director, but soon he ventured out into the hallways, and even took some classes.
The students loved Radio, and he was given the job of hall monitor, making sure people always
walked in the halls, and respected the teachers. He also gave out plenty of hugs and high fives, just
to show everyone how much he loved them.
Radio changed the lives of many people. He constantly puts others' needs in front of his own, and
shows us what love really is all about. He does ever whatever he can to help coach the sports teams
at T.L. Hanna, even though he is limited by his handicap. He also makes sure never to stop someone
from running in the hallway without giving them a hug or a high five as well. He is constantly
cheerful, and his smile can make anyone happy. He has had such an amazing impact on

Essay about Nursing Research: Diabetes and Self-management
My interest in this topic is a result of recent experiences with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 (DMI),
especially with the following two instances: a young adult patient admitted at the hospital following
a DKA episode during one of my nursing rotations and one of my instructors with type 1 diabetes.
Also, my father was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, this has increased my eagerness to study and
explore more about the disease.
During one of my rotations, I was assigned a young adult patient who had run out of insulin and had
been admitted to the hospital following a Diabetes Ketoacidosis (DKA) episode. I realized that my
patient was probably torn between buying insulin and buying healthy food because her chart showed
several admissions in the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
My instructor showed empathy toward the patients with diabetes; she emphasized her understanding
on how challenging the diabetes disease process can be and the importance of following a healthy
diet and the medication schedule. As a diabetes educator, she offered us valuable resources and also
emphasized the need for more diabetes educators while encouraging those of us who were thinking
about it as a career path.
Although neither of the instances: the young adult patient with a DKA episode, nor my instructor is
an adolescent or a child, I decided to explore type I diabetes in adolescents and children because this
is the development stage where most adolescents and children assume certain responsibilities. This
is the stage where parents would like their children to have a role–play in their self–management of
type 1 diabetes.
After reflecting on my own nursing practice, I decided to search the literature on the need for better
education associated with DMI. Certain ethnic and cultural groups have an increased risk for DMI
and educating those at risk is a key component in the management process. If nurses use more
individualized teaching processes and meet their patients' teaching needs, then their patients will
feel more comfortable in taking care of themselves at home and in schools. By reviewing the
literature on the need for enhanced diabetes

Colorado State University Millennials, those individuals born between 1980 and 2000, compose the

to tomorrow's organizations, yet deficient in communication skills. This article offers insights for
business educators to help millennials understand the influence of communication styles when

BUSINESS COMMUNICATION QUARTERLY / March 2011
Their job–hopping ways can lead employers to question millennials' loyalty, and diminish
employers' desire to want to invest in them. Only one fifth of millennials anticipate staying in a job
for more than 5 years (Robert Half International, 2008). They are overconfident, opinionated, and
expect to be heard (Alsop, 2007). They believe that they do not have to "pay dues" when they enter
an organization. They are uncomfortable with criticism and can become aggressive and even caustic
when criticized (Tyler, 2008). They enjoy structure and dislike ambiguity. They prefer clear rules,
well–defined policies, and responsibilities. They claim to be committed to social responsibility and
desire worklife balance. They see themselves as indispensable beings with high expectations and a
desire to be sought after (Alsop, 2006). They see technology as something that is part of their lives,

However, by the late 1980s and early 1990s, behavioral researchers like Paul Salkovskis and Jack
Rachman were advocating a more integrative theory and treatment of OCD, an approach that
amalgamated the behavioral treatment of OCD with Beck's (1976) cognitive theory of emotional
disorders. From these two theoretical perspectives on clinical disorders, a new cognitive–behavioral
approach to obsessions and compulsions was born. In many respects, my own professional
development has taken a path similar to that seen in cognitive–behavioral therapy (CBT) for
obsessional states. My roots are in the behavioral tradition, dating back to the early 1980s when I
was a graduate student at the Institute of Psychiatry in London, England. My interest in OCD and
unwanted intrusive thoughts was sparked by the stimulating discussions and innovative research of
the clinical faculty, most notably Jack Rachman and Padmal de Silva. My doctoral thesis on the
psychophysiology of mental control and unwanted intrusive thoughts was an outgrowth of their
insights into the pathology of obsessional thought. vii viii Preface In the late 1980s, I was
introduced to the cognitive perspective on clinical disorders by Aaron T. Beck. I was privileged to
spend a few months at the Center for Cognitive Therapy in Philadelphia, where I received training
in Beck's therapy approach. Over the last 15 years I have

Modernizing Mental Healthcare in The Juvenile Justice System Introduction As a Human Services
Professional with a background in criminal justice, this article will focus on accessing and helping
juvenile offenders in the United States struggling with mental health disorders. For sentenced
juveniles with behavioral problems and concerns of mental health, being included in a juvenile
mental health court can provide psychological, behavioral, educational, social, and familial clinical
assessments for use in determining best approaches to treating the underlying causes of many
delinquent behaviors. Throughout the 1930s, the Chicago School of Psychology recognized
treatment for juvenile offenders that focused on the economic and social aspect of the criminal
activities of juveniles, (Granello & Hanna, 2003). During this time, juvenile courts were
established and designed to yield an alternative form punishment of juvenile offenders in an adult
criminal system. Emphasis was being placed on rehabilitation instead of punishment; however, in
the mid–1980s punishment of juvenile offenders become the top priority. Because of the severe
wave of juvenile during the late 1980s, States used the beginning of the 1990s to revise their
juvenile statues that they relied so heavily upon. "Under new laws, certain charges or offenses
required legal responses based on the nature of the offense"

Consequences Of Rote Learning And Cramming
Consequences of rote learning and cramming, seen through the lens of a South Korean
Education systems in Asia are often characterized to be more overwhelming for students, compared
to Western countries. In South Korea, students are pressured to ascend through high competition to
enter a top–tier university to get a good job. To be superior than others in test scores, which are
fundamental in getting into a good university, Korean students often use cramming–style and rote
learning study method to get high test scores and grades. They go through overwhelming amount of
study every day, and they have an extremely busy routine as they go to private institutes called
"Hakwon", where they can get extra lessons out of school. Cramming for the ... Show more content

Many Korean university's acceptance are entirely based on this test. Also, unlike SATs or other
standardized tests which can be taken several times, this test can only be taken once a year, which
means that a student is delayed a full year if he does not do well on his first test (Park). This
pressures the Korean students are thus pressured by the importance of this test and they become
heavily immersed in studying since an early age, which leads to stress and discontent. According to
a survey released by the Institute for Social Development Studies in Yonsei University, Korean
teenagers turned out to be the unhappiest among the countries listed in the Organization for
Economic Co–operation and Development, mainly due to exam results and extreme tiredness from
studying ("We Don 't Need Quite so Much Education"). Also, in 2009, the suicide rate among young
Koreans was 15 per 100,000, which is much larger than 10 in America and 7 in China. Kim Jieun, a
Korean student who took the College Scholastic Ability test a few years ago, have narrated that, "I
thought of emigrating. I hate the education system so much." ("The One–shot society"). Living such
life, with a fixed routine, is enough to give students unbearable amount of stress.
Korean students are not only unhappy, but they lose

Southwest Airlines
I. Current Situation
Following the Deregulation in 1978, a competitive price war ensued among the airline industry as a
direct result of the new freedom for airlines to set their own fares as well as route entry and exits.
This gave rise to the operating structure of the airlines as it exists today, consisting of the point–to–
point system and the hub and spoke system. With this came the change of focus for major airlines to
non–stop, cross–country routes in densely populated cities, which, in a regulated environment,
would be profitable. This resulted in the obvious outcome of increased competition, thus lowering
the average industry prices for non–stop cross country routes which were profitable. This caused
operating costs to ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Delta, totaling 3,567,345 in sales, ranked just below Southwest, making them the primary
competitor. The remaining 19% of the overall market is allocated almost evenly amongst the smaller
carriers, which are all far behind the top seven.
4. Industry Pricing
Because fares vary depending on many stipulations, typical industry rates will be analyzed using the
following criteria: A roundtrip flight for one passenger departing from Newark, New Jersey on May
10, 2005 to Las Vegas, Nevada, and returning May 15, 2005. Using this criteria, the rates from the
primary seven airlines in the industry from the lowest to the highest are as follows:
• Southwest– $ 208
• US Airways– $ 208
• American Airlines– $ 390
• Northwest– $ 407
• Delta– $ 517
• United– $ 637
• Continental– $ 688
It can be noted that Southwest has clearly dominated its competition in terms of pricing and being
the low cost provider up until recently. US Airways has since began a pricing campaign to directly
compete for market share, going as far as lowering its fares to match those of Southwest to the
dollar. Other airlines, however, have been unable to lower prices to such a drastic extent, falling
victim to the recession of the airline industry and suffering from having too much inventory (planes,
seats, etc.) and not enough business.

ACTION RESEARCH IN SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT–A FRAMEWORK FOR
RELEVANT AND RIGOROUS RESEARCH by Dag Näslund University of North Florida and
Lund University Rahul Kale University of North Florida and Antony Paulraj University of North
Florida
INTRODUCTION Scholars in the field of business management have frequently debated the
relative importance of rigor and relevance in business research. In fact, there are an increasing
number of articles that discuss the problems associated with the lack of relevance in published
business research. Relevant research "develops insights that help managers understand themselves
and their organizations better" (Markides 2007, p.765). On the ... Show more content on

In spite of its potential to address relevant research questions, few published action research–based
articles exist within the field of supply chain management (Näslund 2002). In fact, these studies are
so rare that they almost constitute the "White Space" of research in the field (Frankel and Näslund
2005). One reason for this reluctance to adopt AR can be attributed to the lack of rigor in some of
the previously published works. Alvesson (1996, p.456) wrote "...much qualitative research is as
superficial as questionnaire studies." Case research has, unfortunately, been used as an excuse for
"industrial tourism"–visiting lots of organisations without any pre–conceived ideas as to what is
being researched" (Voss, Tsikriktsis, and Frohlich 2002, p.196). Similarly, a criticism of AR is that it
more resembles consulting versus rigorous research; that is, consulting "masquerading as research"
(Coughlan and Coghlan 2002, p.237). Naturally, being applied and relevant cannot and should not
be an excuse for doing research that is not rigorous. Accordingly, when a rigorous methodology is
adopted, AR can provide significant research contributions for both practice and academia. With the
belief that rigor and relevance are essential

and then some asshole shouts "play ball," most likely. Sure, some silly sporting event where we
watch a bunch of dipshits, who get paid ten million dollars a week to touch each other's butts, is
likely the only time most of us ever hear that damn song, but its central message has been so
thoroughly ingrained into the fabric of American life that it seems nearly impossible to not believe
it, despite all the mounting evidence that none of that bullshit is true. How many people do you
suppose there are that have actually taken a moment to think about just how much "freedom" we
really have here? I'm sure there are many. Hell, I've encountered many all over the country. I have,
also, sadly, encountered so many people in this country who so blindly believe in that freedom
bullshit that it just reaffirms every negative stereotype I've ever had about Americans. They hold
sacred this fantasy that we are the only place that has ever had freedom to the point that they will
either try to fight me or give the same tired old saw, "Well, why don't you just leave, then?" when I
talk shit about it. Not one of these people ever offered to buy me a plane ticket, though, by the way.

Social Learning Theory, Feminist Theory And Patriarch Theory
Social Learning Theory, Feminist Theory and Patriarch Theory Observing and learning behaviors
are key components of Social Learning Theory (Hanna, Crittenden & Crittenden, 2013). The theory
focuses on how individuals learn social context from their environment and apply it to their life. An
individual's environment provides the opportunity for observational learning, imitation, and
modeling that helps him or her adapt to and control different aspects of his or her life. Thus, shaping
a person's behavior in a healthy or unhealthy way. Environments and behaviors in which people
most frequently observe become the most thoroughly learned (Hanna, Crittenden & Crittenden,
2013). Gender inequality continues to be a pervasive problem in ... Show more content on

Social Learning Theory behavior is resonated in both Feminist Theory and Patriarchal Theory
because it focuses on how societal behaviors have created an environment of inequality (Hanna,
Crittenden & Crittenden, 2013). Understanding that Social Learning Theory is a major component
of both Feminist Theory and Patriarchal Theory there is also a correlation of both theories the
eradication of inequality towards men (Hanna, Crittenden & Crittenden, 2013). Feminist Theory
does not attempt to understand male domination in a patriarchal sense, but rather empower women
to overcome the behaviors of male domination. Patriarchal Theory breaks down the significant of
male domination and how it has shaped our society which provides an opportunity to change
patriarchal ideations (Turner & Maschi, 2015). Understanding how the perception of men and
women collectively shape behaviors towards dominance in society (Hunnicutt, 2009). Women that
buy in to the ideation of patriarchy often feel less than and that they should be treated as property
rather than human beings. Feminist Theory can help a woman overcome the feeling of being less
than by empowering to embrace their femininity. Further both Feminist Theory and Patriarchal
Theory both promote the domination of both genders. Although Feminist Theory focuses on
equality many forms of the theory have an

Understanding Non Verbal Communication At The Workplace
?The most important thing in communication is hearing what isn?t said?
–Peter F.Drucker
Ruzan Abu Sadah
School of Communication
Cleveland State University
Nonverbal communication is one of the most paradoxical areas of personal and organizational life.
Due to that, it has a crucial role in improving organization communication between managers and
coworkers. (RT Moran, 2014) state that 75% of managers? time is spent communicating either
verbally or non–verbally, which indicates importance for exploration into how communication is
used in the workplace. In addition, employees need to comprehend and master the non–verbal

Thus, managers should be aware that most employees feel frustrated and insecure when receiving
conflicting signals from their supervisors or coworkers. Additionally they may feel lower levels of
job satisfaction when faced with communication difficulties.
Finally, even though we have a rich base of literature about nonverbal communication across culture
in the workplace, it does not yet encompass a solid level on how to understand and recognize the
differences as they relate to cultural differences in nonverbal communication in the workplace.
Based on the literature above, the following research question is formed:
RQ: How are cultural differences in nonverbal communication perceived between Arab and
Americans? cultures in the workplace.
Keywords: Cultural differences, nonverbal communication, Workplace environment.
Introduction:
Have you ever wondered what people are actually trying to tell you? Especially in the presence of
cultural differences? Have you ever spoke to your boss when suddenly he breaks away? Did you
wonder if he was excited about your ideas or distracted by his work? Have you ever wondered what
kind of impression you?ve made? Body language is a powerful tool. If you listen with your eyes as
well as your ears, you can open new windows of perception. Studies have shown that body language

Contributions of Entrepreneurial Businesses
Contributions of Entrepreneurial Businesses Introduction Entrepreneurial businesses generate
wealth for society. A fraction of the wealth that is generated by businesses is retained by the
entrepreneurs the lion's share of the wealth is shared by society. For example, consider that the
wealth that Bill Gates generated through innovations at Microsoft have resulted in increased wealth
for the majority of consumers of Microsoft products. As compensated productivity increases, so
does private and corporate wealth. This paper explores the impact of entrepreneurial activity on new
product development and process innovations including those associated with niche markets on
contributions to communities, and on the contextual economy. New product and process
innovations. Entrepreneurs are integral to the development, introduction, and marketing of new
products and services. Many of the breakthrough technologies and products that are at the core of
American prosperity are a result of entrepreneurial initiative, research, and effort (Rothaermel, et al.,
2007). Fundamental discoveries in American universities result in the application of new
technologies and the creation of innovative products (Rothaermel, et al., 2007). The nature of
scientific inquiry in universities and the Bayh–Dole Act of 1980 foster the commercialization of
these new technologies ("Kauffman Foundation," 2012). However, research by the Kauffman
Foundation suggests that universities may be slow to get their

broad agreement regarding the importance of student/employee communication abilities to achieve
successful job performance. Yet the literature also suggested that different objectives may elicit
dissimilar opinions regarding specific types of skills that constitute the ability to communicate
effectively. In response to the need for more precise communication skills characterization, Conrad
(2003) developed three skills sets based on the widely accepted communication constructs of
organizational, leadership and interpersonal ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Their study also revealed that although remediation in these skills is at the forefront of educational
needs, students may not be receiving adequate education in these skills. Young and Murphy (2003)
noted that accreditation requirements, academic research, and consistent feedback from employers,
college recruiters, and alumni certainly suggest that communication skills should be identified as
one of the key issues in marketing education. Brodowsky and Anderson (2003) found that even
business students themselves perceive inadequacies in their communication education. So, despite
agreement between business and academia regarding the importance of communication skills, a gap
persist regarding desired versus acquired communication skills levels.
Several studies reveal that business education should be sensitive to, but may not understand, the
communication skills needs of business employees (Roebuck, 2001: Tanyel, Mitchell, &
McAlum, 1999; Lanier, Tanner, Zhu & Heady, 1997). Gray (2010) found graduates often begin
their careers with inadequate oral communication skills, but there is a lack of well–

grounded empirical data concerning precisely what employers mean by "oral communication" and
what specific skills they value most highly.
Sapp and Zhang (2009) suggested business professors think they know about their students'
readiness for post–graduation employment, but the reality often is that professors know very little
about

Social Media And Its Effect On Society
In today's day in age almost everyone has some form of social media. Many people have more than
one. Whether it is Facebook, Twitter or some other form. We all use it to express and communicate
our thoughts and feelings about ourselves and the world. Because of this many people do not know
how to communicate face to face anymore and many times even hide behind their keyboard. Keller
(2013), Quotes Paul Booth an assistant professor of media and cinema studies saying "There has
been a shift in the way we communicate; rather than face–to–face interaction, we're tending to
prefer mediated communication," he says. "We'd rather e–mail than meet; we'd rather text than talk
on the phone". Other people such as Qualman (2011), believes that using social media to
communicate does not have to be such a bad thing. He says that if used properly it can be a very
effect tool in the business world. Because social media touches pretty much everyone in some way it
is a good strategy for overall success or an organization. There are both positive and negative
communication effects on social media. The goal of this paper is to communicate the negative effect
of how social media is effecting communication.
Going off of what Qualman said about business in social media. Hannaa, Rohma, and Crittenden
(2011), suggest that while companies recognize that they need to utilize social media they do not
full understand how to do it effectively. Without being able to use it effectively it defeats the

Kindergarten in Finland and Ontario, Canada
The theories of Friedrich Froebel, the founder of kindergarten have influenced kindergartens in
several regions including in Finland and Ontario, Canada. The kindergarten program in Finland is
one of envy as it contributes the nation's successful educational system. Kindergarten in Finland is a
free service available to all children, which is similar to Ontario, Canada's program which is also
free to children in the province. The following paper will explore kindergarten in Finland and
Ontario and illustrate that in spite of their differing systems, the principal focus of kindergarten in
each region is to prepare students for formal schooling. The ... Show more content on

The Finnish society believes "that intervention at the kindergarten stage is the best way to give
children a good beginning in life" (Jensen, 2009, p. 11). Ontario's kindergarten system upholds the
same belief and the reform that will be implemented in September 2010 will further solidify this
conviction. Ontario's new program will include aspects that are comparable to Finland's.
Kindergarten programs in Finland and Ontario are organized differently; in spite of the fact that they
are derived from Friedrich Froebel's kindergarten beliefs and theories. The purpose of kindergarten
in each region is to prepare children for formal schooling by maintaining continuity between
kindergarten and formal school programs. The continuity of the both programs creates smooth
transitions for children into the formal schooling stage. This is achieved by providing children with
education experiences that bridge the move from one program to another. Although, the structure of
kindergarten is unique to each region, the purpose in Finland and Ontario is the same. This paper
will exemplify that the purpose of kindergarten in Finland and Ontario is consistent with one
another, by examining kindergarten programs, curriculum, teacher qualifications and roles in each
area.
Kindergarten in Finland The history of Finnish kindergartens can be traced back to the late 19th
century where Friedrich Froebel's kindergarten pedagogy and beliefs were applied by Finnish
educator Uno

Two persons are in psychological contact. 2. The first, whom we shall term the client, is in a state of
incongruence, being vulnerable and anxious. 3. The second person, whom we shall term the
therapist, is congruent or integrated in the relationship. 4. The therapist experiences unconditional
positive regard for the client. 5. The therapist experiences an empathic understanding of the client's
internal frame of reference and endeavours to communicate this to the client. 6. The communication
to the client of the therapist's empathic understanding and unconditional positive regard is to a
minimal extent achieved. No other conditions are necessary. If these six conditions exist, and
continue over time, this is sufficient. The process of constructive personality change will follow
(Rogers, 1957 p 95). This prescription for therapeutic relationship and growth was recognised by
Rogers as having three experiential component parts. These three central dimensions or 'core
conditions' are described as congruence, unconditional positive regard and empathy. Congruence is
a reference to the therapist's capacity to be genuine, honest and real and avoiding the need to act as
an expert or demonstrate pretence of superiority. Rogers used the word transparent for those
enacting true congruence. Unconditional positive regard expresses the respect, valuing or prizing the
counsellor feels for the client, and is not conditional on the client's

Radio : The Movie ' Radio '
The movie "Radio" is the tale of a young African–American man who suffers from severe mental
retardness and his journey to fame from football in the small South Carolinian town of Anderson.
James "Radio" Kennedy is befriended by the T. L. Hanna High School head football coach, Coach
Jones, and begins to help as an "assistant coach" of some sort. Eventually, James begins to attend
Hanna High as an eleventh grade student due to the persistent efforts of Coach Jones.
The movie opens up as James, at this point nameless and unspoken, is walking along a railroad track
with a shopping cart full of random items and a radio or two. He walks into the town and the people
around him stare or walk away from him quickly. They see him as a dysfunction of their group due
to James not being different from them due to their sight of his mental condition as a stigma. James
walks towards the local Hanna High School to see football practice in effect, run by Coaches Jones
and Honeycutt, and looks intrigued.
As the scene changes to the home of head coach, Coach Jones, we see an example of role conflict in
the way the Coach Jones is a husband, teacher, father and a coach; all three take a lot of time to do
well. He also exhibits role salience when he seems to rank his roles from most to least important;
the most important being football coach at the moment.
The next day, James is once again seen walking around where the football practice is being held. A
ball is kicked as a practice field

Accounting for Enron
Introduction
In the case of Accounting for Enron, the case concerned one of the largest corporate bankruptcies in
the US history at the turn of the 21st century. It was Enron Corporation, a one time seventh largest
most successful US company, sixth largest energy company in the world, valued at over $70 Billion;
they filed for chapter 11 on December 2, 2001. Just the year before, Enron posted a 57% increase in
sales between 1996 and 2000. And Enron shares hit a 52–week high of $84.87 per share in the last
week of 2000 (O'Leary, 2002). As the story unfolds, investors lost billions of dollars and thousands
of people lost ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Backstabbing, cunning, unscrupulous and individual–focused were the ways to behave and to be
rewarded. "In the Enron culture, there was no significant counterbalance," says Jon R. Katzenbach
(Businessweek.com, 2002), a consultant and former McKinsey colleague of Skilling who has
studied the company. "The lesson is you cannot rely solely on individual achievement to drive your
performance over time. Companies with only that one path overemphasize it and run into trouble,
switching over to vanity and greed." A ruthless culture was brewing at all levels of the organization,
which set the stage for Enron's unethical business dealings. Combine the cold–bloodedness of the
company culture with Skilling's relentless risk taking to drive growth; Enron was primed for an epic
financial accounting deception. By 2000, trading operations accounted for 99 percent of income, 88
percent of income before tax and 80 percent of identifiable assets, while reported revenue increased
from $11,904 million in 1996 to nearly $100,000 million in 2000 – a tenfold increase (Epstein and
Lee, 2009). Skilling shifted Enron's business model from a gas trading and pipeline company to
become a Wall Street–like financial trading machine dealing with all sorts of commodities,
derivatives, options and hedges. With the diversification, Enron was betting on too many horses and
too many risky horses. To offset

6. Social recommendation has begun to play a significant role in driving traffic to traditional news
content. Most organisations are devoting significant resources to exploit social networks to drive
reach. Over 2 time, social media sites could become as important as search engines as a driver of
traffic and revenue. The issues and conclusions are framed within a wider debate about the
importance of these developments to the changing shape of mainstream media organisations, to
levels of civic engagement, debates about quality, trust and accuracy, and to discussions about the
practice and future of journalism itself. KEYWORDS: social media; social networks; blogs; user
generated content; online; newspapers; broadcasting; future journalism; Facebook; Twitter 3 1.
Framing the debate Ten years ago, an influential McKinsey report1 concluded that new technologies
were set to increase our capacity to interact by a factor of between two and five. They argued that
our enhanced interactive capacity would 'create new ways to configure businesses, organise
companies, and serve customers'. These developments are not just playing out between businesses,
they are profoundly impacting almost every sphere of life – with journalism on the front line. In
developed societies the adoption of email, instant messaging

The Early Childhood Education Of Literacy And Numeracy
Introduction Literacy and numeracy are the most vital skills for any individual in modern society.
The early childhood education of literacy and numeracy is of great importance to not only
intellectual growth but also to emotional and social development in later years. Literacy is one of
the fundamental ability for one to be able to make sense of text, signs, books, and modern
technologies. Numeracy includes aspects such as number sense, computation, measurement, and
geometry, which are all vital to one 's daily and professional life. The first few years of one 's life is
the key period to establish literacy and numeracy as one 's brain development is at its peak in this
period, and the better the foundation of literacy and numeracy is, the more likely one is going to
successful in academic and social performance in later years. Also as a social experience, literacy
and numeracy education is greatly influenced by one 's social environment, or in early childhood
settings, one 's family environment. Bronfenbrenner 's (1979) ecological systems theory is the
foundation of ecological and sociocultural guideline of literacy and numeracy education in early
childhood settings. The theory are essentially a set of interconnected and yet isomorphic layers of
systems that affect the development of the children from a social aspect, e.g. the microsystem
describes the interaction between the carer and the child, mesosystem describes the interactions
between the family and the teacher,

Radio Movie Review
The Movie "Radio" is said to be based on a true story, and although most of the story was true, there
were quite a lot of differences between the movie and real life events. There were changes that had
to be made simply because of the time period that the movie was set in. There were things that had
to be left out or condensed in order to keep the story short enough to make it into a film. There were
also events added that did not actually happen but were used to create a more exciting movie.
Many things needed to be changed slightly to make filming easier. One change was the location.
Although Anderson, South Carolina was the real town, It looked too modern so it was decided to
use another South Carolina town called Walterboro. Walterboro still had an older feel to it and
required less work to make it look like 1976, when the film was set. The film makers had the same
sort of problem when choosing a school. The real High school, T L Hanna HS in Anderson had also
been modernized, and even the high school in Walterboro looked a bit too modern. It was decided to
split filming between a local elementary school and The University of South Carolina–Salkehatchie
and a few other local stadiums. The effect was a realistic sixties and seventies look. Achieving this
look would have been very expensive in Hollywood. Even though a lot of downtown Walterboro
had to be almost completely remade to resemble 1960s/1970s Anderson, this was still a lot cheaper,
and less time consuming

Subcultures : Women 's Punk
Subcultures: Women in Punk Punk is one of the most written and talked about music and political
movements of the twentieth century. What perhaps makes punk special is the way a generation
incorporated the attitudes and practices of the music into an entire subculture. In her book Punks: A
Guide to an American Subculture, author Sharon M .Hannon argues that "there is no universally
accepted definition for punk ."To some, punk mean rebellions against conformity or against parents,
school, work, and society at large"(2).Punk means different things to different people depending on
whom you ask. One thing that everyone can agree on is that the punk subculture was not just about
the music, it was a way of self–expression and undoubtedly a way of life. Punks used their bodies as
a way of self–expression. They shaved and styled their hair in unnatural ways. Clothing was often
ripped and many used patches of their favorite bands to adorn it. Most were also tattooed and had
various facial piercings. Perhaps one of the most significant things in the punk subculture was punk
rock, which mostly consisted of loud instruments, hard vocals, and political lyrics. The punk
subculture emerged in the United States in the mid 1970 's. It spread rapidly among youth, which
caused a variety of social concerns. Many punks were going against social norms and this was very
alarming. Punks challenged authorities and failed to conform to the norms of society. As noted by
Hebdige in Subculture: The
