A newcomer’s entry as a real estate agent into the vocation of soliciting and
negotiating real estate transactions typically begins with the marketing and
locating of single family residences (SFRs) as a seller’s agent or a buyer’s agent
(also known as listing agents or selling agents, respectively).
Other properties an agent might work with include:
• one-to-four unit residential properties;
• apartments;
• commercial income properties (office buildings, commercial units and
industrial space);
• agricultural property; or
• unimproved parcels of land.

is a purchase agreement form. Different types of properties each require
a different variety of purchase agreement. Various purchase agreement
comprise provisions necessary to negotiate the sale of a particular type of
property.
Three basic categories of purchase agreements exist for the documentation of
real estate sales. The categories are influenced primarily by legislation and
court decisions addressing the handling of the disclosures and due diligence
investigations in the marketing of properties
The three categories of purchase agreements are for:
• one-to-four unit residential property sales transactions;
• other than one-to-four unit residential property sales transactions,
such as for residential and commercial income properties and owner-
occupied business/farming properties; and
• land acquisition transactions.
Within each category of purchase agreement, several variations exist.
The variations cater to the specialized use of some properties, the diverse
arrangements for payment of the price, and to the specific conditions which
affect a property, particularly within the one-to-four unit residential property
category.
Purchase agreement variations for one-to-four unit residential sales
transactions include purchase agreements for:
• negotiating the conventional financing of the purchase price [See

Gender and Media: Content, Uses, and Impact
Dara N. Greenwood and Julia R. Lippman
Although research offers compelling evidence to suggest that men and women are far more simi-
lar than they are different across a wide variety of domains, our perceptions of gender difference
can lead us to believe that men and women do inhabit distinct gendered universes and can trigger
self-fulfilling prophecies that confirm these expectations. These perceptions can even guide how aca-
demics choose to interpret the research literature. Hyde’s (2005) review of 46 meta-analyses supports
a “gender similarities hypothesis,” namely, the magnitude of gender differences across these studies
as measured by effect size is small or negligible in over three quarters of the cases assessed. Put
differently, a “small” effect size (i.e., d < 0.35; Hyde, 2005) means that 85% of the distributions for
women and men overlap. This is not to say that a 15% difference in distributions is an insignificant
percentage, but it certainly illustrates that emphasizing difference to the exclusion of similarity paints
an inaccurate picture. Further, where moderate or large gender differences did emerge, they were
often the product of social context. For example, women are more likely than men to smile when
they know they are being observed (LaFrance, Hecht, & Paluck, 2003, as cited in Hyde, 2005). The
latter finding suggests that a given social situation may be of paramount importance in the apparent
differences between men and women.
The social environment can influence the manifestation of present attitudes and behaviors, but
it is also a powerful shaping force throughout the lifespan. In their discussion of a social cognitive
approach to gender development, Bussey and Bandura (2004) suggested that the mass media, in
addition to ongoing input from parents and peers, offer a “pervasive cultural modeling of gender
roles” (p. 108). It is not just children who assimilate cultural models, however; research on the
phenomenon of “possible selves” (Markus & Nurius, 1986) suggests that over the course of our
lives, we continue to draw hoped for as well as feared selves from “the categories made salient by the
individual’s particular sociocultural and historical context and from the models, images, and symbols
provided by the media and by the individual’s immediate social experiences” (p. 954, emphasis
added).
So how does the media environment contribute to our gendered perceptions and experiences?
With a few exceptions, the basic cognitive and emotional processes by which media exert an impact
tend to be similar for both men and women. The most robust gender differences exist at the level
of media representation and content and the selective exposure patterns that are, in part, a response
to gender-typed content. In order to understand how media affect women and men, it is crucial first
to understand systematic gender differences in media content, as well as any gender difference.

CHAPTER 25Arab Unity and Disunity (since 1967)THE CRIS.docxwalterl4
CHAPTER 25
Arab Unity and Disunity (since 1967)
THE CRISIS OF 1973
'Abd al-Nasir lived for three years after his defeat. His position in the
world had been badly shaken by it; his relationships with the United States
and Britain were soured by his accusation and belief that they had helped
Israel militarily during the war, and by the American insistence that Israel
would withdraw from conquered territories only in return for peace. His
position in regard to other Arab rulers was weakened as the limitations of
his power became clear. One immediate result of the war of 1967 was that
he cut his losses in Yemen, and made an agreement with Saudi Arabia by
which his forces were withdrawn.
Inside Egypt, however, his position was still strong. At the end of the
fateful week in June 1967 he announced his resignation, but this aroused
widespread protests in Egypt and some other Arab countries, perhaps
because of skilful organization, but perhaps because of a feeling that his
resignation would be a deeper defeat and humiliation. His hold over
popular sentiment in other Arab countries also remained strong. Both
because of his own stature and because of the recognized position of Egypt,
he was the indispensable broker between the Palestinians and those among
whom they lived. In the years after 1967, the growth of Palestinian national
feeling and the increasing strength of Fatah, which controlled the PLO
from 1969, led to a number of incidents of guerilla action against Israel,
and Israeli reprisals against the lands where the Palestinians had some
freedom of action. In 1969, Egyptian intervention brought about an
agreement between the Lebanese government and the PLO, which set the
limits within which the PLO would be free to operate in southern Lebanon.
In the next year, 1970, severe fighting broke out in Jordan between the
army and Palestinian guerilla groups which seemed on the point of taking
over power in the country. The Jordanian government was able to impose
416
ARAB UNITY AND DISUNITY (SINCE 1967)
its authority and end the freedom of action of the Palestinian groups, and
once more it was the mediation of 'Abd al-Nasir which made peace between
them.
Immediately after this, 'Abd al-Nasir suddenly died. The extraordinary
scenes at his funeral, with millions weeping in the streets, certainly meant
something; at least for the moment, it was difficult to imagine Egypt or the
Arab world without him. His death was the end of an era of hope for an
Arab world united and made new.
'Abd al-Nasir was succeeded by a colleague of long standing, Anwar
Sadat (19 1 8-81). It seemed, at first, that Egypt would continue as before.
In other Arab countries, too, changes in 1969 and 1970 brought to power
people who seemed likely to follow a policy roughly similar to Nasirism or
at least consistent with it. In Morocco and Tunisia, it is true, there was no
basic change at this time; King Hasan and those around him, and Bourguiba

Chapter 3Linking IT to Business Metrics From the first time IT.docxwalterl4
Chapter 3
Linking IT to Business Metrics
From the first time IT started making a significant dent in corporate balance sheets, the holy grail of academics, consultants, and business and IT managers has been to show that what a company spends on IT has a direct impact on its performance. Early efforts to do this, such as those trying to link various measures of IT input (e.g., budget dollars, number of PCs, number of projects) with various measures of business performance (e.g., profit, productivity, stock value) all failed to show any relationship at all (Marchand et al. 2000). Since then, everyone has prop- erly concluded that the relationship between what is done in IT and what happens in the business is considerably more complex than these studies first supposed. In fact, many researchers would suggest that the relationship is so filtered through a variety of “conversion effects” (Cronk and Fitzgerald 1999) as to be practically impossible to demonstrate. Most IT managers would agree. They have long argued that technology is not the major stumbling block to achieving business performance; it is the business itself—the processes, the managers, the culture, and the skills—that makes the differ- ence. Therefore, it is simply not realistic to expect to see a clear correlation between IT and business performance at any level. When technology is successful, it is a team effort, and the contributions of the IT and business components of an initiative cannot and should not be separated.
Nevertheless, IT expenditures must be justified. Thus, most companies have concentrated on determining the “business value” that specific IT projects deliver. By focusing on a goal that matters to business (e.g., better information, faster transaction processing, reduced staff), then breaking this goal down into smaller projects that IT can affect directly, they have tried to “peel the onion” and show specifically how IT delivers value in a piecemeal fashion. Thus, a series of surrogate measures are usually used to demonstrate IT’s impact in an organization. (See Chapter 1 for more details.)
More recently, companies are taking another look at business performance met- rics and IT. They believe it is time to “put the onion back together” and focus on what

computers. These personal computers made it possible to maximize individual
productivity. However, most current hardware and software technological developments
have been aimed at maximizing group productivity. Increasingly, personal computers
are networked together to enable communication between users and to facilitate
sharing of data and resources. This chapter is aimed at providing a basic understanding
of a range of telecommunications concepts including local area and wide area networks.
We also discuss some recent communications technologies affecting business such as
client/server systems, the Internet, and electronic data interchange. Almost all
computer systems in organizations today are networked, and these networked
computer systems invariably house a wealth of accounting information. It is therefore
important for accountants to have a working knowledge of data communications and
networking concepts.

Chapter 3 The APA Ethics Code and Ethical Decision MakingThe APA.docxwalterl4
Chapter 3 The APA Ethics Code and Ethical Decision Making
The APA’s Ethics Code provides a set of aspirational principles and behavioral rules written broadly to apply to psychologists’ varied roles and the diverse contexts in which the science and practice of psychology are conducted. The five aspirational principles described in Chapter 2 represent the core values of the discipline of psychology that guide members in recognizing in broad terms the moral rightness or wrongness of an act. As an articulation of the universal moral values intrinsic to the discipline, the aspirational principles are intended to inspire right actions but do not specify what those actions might be. The ethical standards that will be discussed in later chapters of this book are concerned with specific behaviors that reflect the application of these moral principles to the work of psychologists in specific settings and with specific populations. In their everyday activities, psychologists will find many instances in which familiarity with and adherence to specific Ethical Standards provide adequate foundation for ethical actions. There will also be many instances in which (a) the means by which to comply with a standard are not readily apparent, (b) two seemingly competing standards appear equally appropriate, (c) application of a single standard or set of standards appears consistent with one aspirational principle but inconsistent with another, or (d) a judgment is required to determine whether exemption criteria for a particular standard are met.
The Ethics Code is not a formula for solving these ethical challenges. Psychologists are not moral technocrats simply working their way through a decision tree of ethical rules. Rather, the Ethics Code provides psychologists with a set of aspirations and broad general rules of conduct that psychologists must interpret and apply as a function of the unique scientific and professional roles and relationships in which they are embedded. Successful application of the principles and standards of the Ethics Code involves a conception of psychologists as active moral agents committed to the good and just practice and science of psychology. Ethical decision making thus involves a commitment to applying the Ethics Code and other legal and professional standards to construct rather than simply discover solutions to ethical quandaries (APA, 2012f).
This chapter discusses the ethical attitudes and decision-making strategies that can help psychologists prepare for, identify, and resolve ethical challenges as they continuously emerge and evolve in the dynamic discipline of psychology. An opportunity to apply these strategies is provided in the cases at the end of each chapter and the 10 case studies presented in Appendix A.
Ethical Commitment and Virtues
The development of a dynamic set of ethical standards for psychologists’ work-related conduct requires a personal commitment and lifelong effort to act ethically; to encourage ethical.

Chapter 3 3Plainchant Alleluia, “Caro mea”
Composed: ca. 1275
This brief chant is from the Mass for the Feast of Corpus Christi. It is a responsorial chant in which a chorus “responds” to a solo singer. As is so often the case with medieval plainchant, we do not know the identity of the composer, though it was probably written by a monk or priest. This chapter's recording, by an all-male ensemble, reflects the way this chant would have been sung in a medieval monastery.Learning Objectives

Plainchant was an integral part of every service of worship in the Medieval church. The Alleluia “Caro mea” is one of many plainchants used during the Mass for the Feast of Corpus Christi (Latin for “Body of Christ”), which celebrates the Holy Sacrament, the body (bread) and blood (wine) of Christ. Like all Masses, the Mass for the Feast of Corpus Christi consists of a combination of elements that are unchanging (the “Ordinary”—the Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, and Agnus Dei) and elements that change according to the specific Sunday or feast day (the “Propers”—Introit, Gradual, Alleluia, Offertory, Communion). The texts for the Propers of the Mass for the Feast of Corpus Christi all deal in some way with the ritual of the Holy Sacrament.
The text for the Alleluia for this feast day is taken from the Gospel of John, 6:55–56. These are the words Jesus spoke to his disciples and others at the synagogue at Caprenaum, and they foreshadow the words he would say at the Last Supper the night before his crucifixion, when he distributed bread and wine to his disciples as part of the traditional Passover meal.
A priest (center) leads the celebration of Mass with the assistance of monks (left), who are singing from a notated manuscript.PERFORMANCEChilling to Chant
Plainchant has long been recognized as an element that enhances meditation, prayer, and devotion: It figures prominently in many of the world's religions (see Expand Your Playlist: Chant, Chapter 1). The gentle flow of the melodies, the absence of repetitive rhythms, and the relatively narrow range of timbre all help create a sense of calm and well-being. Scientists are gradually discovering that there is a physiological factor at work here as well. Dr. Alan Watkins, a senior lecturer in neuroscience at Imperial College London, has noted that “the musical structure of chanting can have a significant and positive physiological impact . . . studies also demonstrate that such practices have been shown to lower blood pressure, increase levels of the performance hormone DHEA as.

- had started with 471 African individuals intended for the slave trade
- fresh water was very low and disease had broken out
- in accordance with the ‘economics’ of the slave trade and the norms of the time, the slaves were considered ‘cargo’ – no different from livestock
- the ‘cargo’ had been insured at the beginning of the trip
— slaves that died of natural causes (lack of water, disease) would not be covered by the insurance
— however, if the slaves died from being thrown overboard while still alive, the ship owners’ insurance would cover the lose
— hoping to save water and reduce the spread of disease, 54 sick slaves were chained together and thrown overboard
— over 2 days, more live slaves were thrown overboard (total: 132 persons)
at 1st the insurance company was going to pay, but a new freed slave, Equiano (living free in England now) made an abolitionist aware and a new trial determined the slaves were people, not cargo or livestock and the ship owners did not get the insurance
foundations of US
- beginning in 1600s and through 1700s the US is an agricultural society
- land and labor are needed
- to get land and labor 3 groups were made into minority status
— these groups joined the colonies, then the US through colonization
— these 3 groups are still having problems today (Native American, African American, Hispanic/Mexican American)

1) what the current subsistence technology is for a specific time period) (impacts majority – minority relations at that time (subsistence technology: how a society provides for basic goods, services (shelter, food, water) for its people) (see table)
what’s important
hunting / gathering / foraging
human energy
little stratification
- dependent of what nature provides
agriculture
human energy and animal energy
- more surplus
- increased stratification
- majority / minority relationship is likely to be patriarchal
- land ownership

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
18. After seating patrons, the hostess distributes menus and fills
glasses with water. If standards are being met, the waiter
assigned to the table greets the patrons within one minute of
their being seated. (Being a traditional Mexican restaurant, its
entire wait staff is male.) The waiter introduces himself,
announces the daily specials, and takes the beverage orders.
After delivering the beverages, the waiter takes the meal orders.
The menu consists of 23 main entrees assembled from eight
basic stocks (chicken, beef, beans, rice, corn tortillas, flour
tortillas, tomatoes, and lettuce) and a variety of other
ingredients (fruits, vegetables, sauces, herbs, and spices).
Before the dining hours begin, the cook prepares the basic
stocks so that they can be quickly combined and finished off to
complete the requested meals. The typical amount of time
needed to complete a meal once it has been ordered is 12
minutes. A good portion of this time is for final cooking, so
several meals may be in preparation at the same time. As can be
imagined, one of the skills a good cook needs is to be able to
schedule production of the various meals ordered at a table so
that they are ready at approximately the same time. Once all the
meals and any side dishes have been completed by the cook, the
waiter checks to see that all meals are correct and pleasing to
the eye, corrects any mistakes, and adds any finishing touches.
When everything is in order, he assembles them on a tray and
delivers them to the table. From this point on, the waiter keeps
an eye on the table to detect when any additional service or
assistance is needed.
When the diners at the table appear to be substantially finished
with their main meal, the waiter approaches, asks if he can clear
away any dishes, and takes any requests for dessert or coffee.
When the entire meal has been completed, the waiter presents
the bill and shortly thereafter collects payment. José’s accepts
cash or major credit card but no checks.
Karetski feels that his relationship with the cook is important.
As the cook largely controls the quality of the food, Karetski
wants to stay on good terms with him. He treats the cook with
19. respect, tries to place the items on his order slip in the sequence
of longest preparation time, and makes sure to write clearly so
that the orders are easy to read. Although it is not his job, he
helps out by fetching food stocks from the refrigerator or the
storage area when the cook is busy and by doing some of the
food preparation himself. The cook has been irritable lately,
complaining of the poor quality of some of the ingredients that
have been delivered. Last week, for example, he received
lettuce that appeared wilted and chicken that was tough and
more bone than meat. During peak times, it can take more than
20 minutes to get good meals delivered to the table.
Karetski had been shown the results of a customer survey that
management conducted last Friday and Saturday during the
evening mealtime. The following table shows a summary of the
responses:
