Putting It Together: A Standard for Integrating Perspectives
Shani, age 15: While I was learning to resist the temptation of hunger, I walked into the kitchen when no one was around, took a slice of bread out the packet, toasted it, spread butter on it, took a deep breath and bit. Guilty. I spat it in the trash and tossed the rest of it in and walked away. Seconds later I longed for the toast, walked back to the trash, popped open the lid and sifted around in the debris. I found it and contemplated, for minutes, whether to eat it. I brought it close to my nose and inhaled the smell of melted butter. Guilty. Guilty for trashing it. Guilty for craving it. Guilty for tasting it. I threw it back in the trash and walked away. No is no, I told myself. No is no.
… And no matter how hard I would try to always have The Perfect Day in terms of my food, I would feel the guilt every second of every day. It reeked of shame, seeped with disgust and festered in disgrace. It was my desire to escape the guilt that perpetuated my compulsion to starve.
In time I formulated a more precise list of “can” and “can’t” in my head that dictated what I was allowed or forbidden to consume…. It became my way of life. My manual. My blueprint. But more than that, it gave me false reassurance that my life was under control. I was managing everything because I had this list in front of me telling me what—and what not—to do….
In the beginning, starving was hard work. It was not innate. Day by day I was slowly lured into another world, a world that was as isolating as it was intriguing, and as rewarding as it was challenging….
That summer, despite the fact that I had lost a lot of weight, my mother agreed to let me go to summer camp with my fifteen-year-old peers, after I swore to her that I would eat. I broke that promise as soon as I got there…. At breakfast time when all the teens raced into the dining hall to grab cereal boxes and bread loaves and jelly tins and peanut butter jars, I sat alone cocooned in my fear. I fingered the plastic packet of a loaf of white sliced bread, took out a piece and tore off a corner, like I was marking a page in a book, onto which I dabbed a blob of peanut butter and jelly the size of a Q-tip. That was my breakfast. Every day. For three weeks.
I tried to get to the showers when everyone else was at the beach so nobody would see me. I heard girls behind me whispering, “Tha ...

Earning Your Place in the Investment World
The CFA Program
Wojciech Gudaszewski, CFA, (cover) took a major career leap in
2006, founding WDM Financial Group, the first firm in Poland
to offer a fully comprehensive array of financial services. Beam-
ing with enthusiasm as he strolls amidst the ornate buildings
of Wroclaw, Poland’s third-largest city, Wojciech explains.
“Becoming a CFA charterholder gave me more self-confi-
dence,” says Wojciech. “Now I have more courage to lead more
responsible and ambitious projects, like establishing and man-
aging the WDM Financial Group.”
Wojciech saw opportunity in Poland’s emerging market
and set about earning the professional credentials to partici-
pate fully in— and find solutions for— his homeland’s finan-
cial front. But after earning a master’s degree in economics
and three professional certifications, he says, “Soon I realized
that there is really only one global standard for investment
professionals—[the] CFA [designation].”
Wojciech likewise credits getting his first job after gradu-
ation, an equity analyst position at ING Investment Manage-
ment in Warsaw, to the CFA designation. “Thanks to the CFA
charter I got a great job after my studies,” he says. He glances
proudly at the colorful facades rising all around him and adds,
“The CFA charter gave me a chance to find interesting and
well-paid work.”
As the sun fades and a cool breeze whips across the town
square, Wojciech reveals a broad level of confidence and
urgency, leaving little doubt about the depth of his determina-
tion: With more than 50 clients on board already, he plans to
serve 200 by year’s end. “I want to push the Group to the next
level as soon as possible.”

The Buddha’s Birth Stories
By Lynn Cianfarani
The exterior of the Ajanta Caves where they were cut into the stone on the side of a cliff by
the Waghur River in India. These cave monuments, which date from the second century
BCE to about 480 or 650 CE, house depictions of Buddha and the Jātaka Tales.

In one of his former lives, Buddha was born a pigeon. That is, at least, how it is
recounted in “The Pigeon and the Crow,” one of the 547 stories in the Jātaka Tales, a
classic work of Buddhist literature.
Each of the Jātaka Tales offers readers a moral. The pigeon story, for instance,
highlights the dangers of greed. But the stories are more than just fables. They are
sacred Buddhist lore, outlining the lives that Buddha passed through before his birth as
Prince Siddhartha. Jātaka literally means “story of birth,” and in the stories, Buddha
(referred to in the Tales as the Bodhisatta—“one seeking enlightenment”) is born and
http://www.webtexts.com/courses/18168-stallard/traditional_book
reborn in the form of animals, humans, and super-human beings, all the while striving
toward enlightenment.
For Buddhists, the concept of past lives is hallowed. According to Robert Thurman, a
professor of Indo-Tibetan Buddhist Studies at Columbia University, “Buddhists see the
continuum of lives of all beings as a commonsense fact, not a mystical belief.”1 Buddhist
faith teaches that ordinary humans do not remember past existences, but enlightened
beings have the gift of recalling their former lives in detail.2
Buddhists who hear the Jātaka Tales do not necessarily take them as a word-for-word
accounting of past events, however. Devdutt Pattanaik, a Mumbai-based speaker,
writer, and mythology specialist, says that the Jātaka Tales “are as real and historical to
Buddhists as the stories of Christ’s resurrection are to Christians.”3 For most Buddhists,
whether Buddha actually lived as a pigeon is not the issue; what matters is that Buddha
did indeed have past existences which lessons can be learned from.
Reliable historical details of Buddha’s life—his early years as Siddhartha Gutam, and
later, as the enlightened Buddha—are hard to come by. According to W.S. Merwin, a
Pulitzer Prize winning poet, we don’t know how much of the Buddha/Siddhartha story
“is pure fairy tale, and how much of it is historic fact.”4 As with most religions, it’s the
message that guides followers.
Most scholars do accept that Siddhartha Gutam was an actual man, born to a royal
family in India in 563 BCE. The factual events of his life, however, remain open to
debate. According to Buddhist texts, Siddhartha married and had a child, but became
disillusioned with palace life. He started to make trips outside the palace and grew
distraught when he saw sickness, old age, and death.

1.0 Executive Summary
In my 2017, the 23rd annual meeting of North American Taiwan Studies Association (NATSA) was held at Stanford University. The experts and scholars, who focused on researching the relevant issues about Asian-Pacific region, such as Kharis Templeman, Erin Baggott Carter, Thomas Fingar, and Lanhee J. Chen, analyzed the potential conflicts in Cross-Strait relations between People’s Republic of China (PRC-China) and Republic of China (ROC-Taiwan) on this meeting.[footnoteRef:1] During the process of discussing the potential conflict between PRC and ROC, the United States was highlighted as the most important mediator that could influence the trends of the conflict between PRC and ROC, and that was able to provide it with windows of opportunity. This early warning policy memo will examine the three scenarios with different degrees of feasibilities by regarding the United States government as the most suitable mediator. The key facts of Cross-Strait relations between the PRC and the ROC will be demonstrated, and the important characteristic of the conflict situation will also be analyzed. Based on them, this memo will discuss the points that are at stake, and the reasons why prevention action is merited for Cross-Strait relations between the PRC and the ROC. After analyzing the pros and cons of three future scenarios, the last one, which the United States government stands with the PRC and supports “One-China” policy, reveals the relatively higher feasibility.

2.0 Key Facts
2.1 The Cross-Strait Relations between the PRC and the ROC
Since the second Chinese Civil War happened in 1937, the issues about the relations between PRC and POC, which were also called as Cross-Strait relations (Haixia Liangan Guanxi), have become seriously sensitive topics in both of the two political entities that were geographically separated by the Taiwan Strait in the west Pacific Ocean. In 1949, the second Chinese Civil War led to the political status that the mainland of China being governed by the PRC, instead, Taiwan pertains to the ROC, wh ...

EARLY IMMIGRANT IN MINNESOTA 4
Early immigrant in Minnesota
Running head: EARLY IMMIGRANT IN MINNESOTA 1
Minnesota is a land known for its heavy welcome of immigrants. Minnesota has been regarded as a state of immigrants. The first residents, the American Indians, all arrived from different locations and origins. The names of the localities, the waterways and the landmarks around the Minnesota state reflects the waves of immigration that occurred between the 19th and 20th century. Today, immigrants comprise approximately 13% of the Minnesota’s population. In this article, we seek to explore the experiences of the early immigrants in Minnesota. Although there are many immigrants in Minnesota from different locations, this study will focus primarily on the experiences of Hmong, Karen, Latino, Liberian and Somali immigrants.
Land and family were significant assets for the immigrants in the Minnesota state. Particularly, it is important to note that there are different groups of people who took refuge as immigrants in Minnesota (Oestergen, 1981). The Latino community makes up the largest proportion of the foreign-born population living in Minnesota. Approximately 7% of the people living in Hennepin and Ramsey counties are Latino. The Hennepin and Ramsey counties are homes to over 64000 people from the Hmong communities. Approximately 3000 Karen refugees came into Minnesota fleeing the violence and war experienced in Burmese civil war. Finally, the United States became home to Liberian and Somali refugees following the civil wars in their countries. Approximately 32 000 refugees from Somali live in Minnesota since the 1990s. Land was owned by families and the immigrants depended on the transition of the land through family lineages. The inheritance of land from one individual to another was done according to the customs and the cultural beliefs of the people involved. Land was particularly used for settlement and agricultural purposes. Other immigrants could also obtain land through purchasing from other land owners (Oestergen, 1981).
For the first immigrants, getting to Minnesota was the first major challenge they experienced. Even if they possessed the wherewithal to their passage, the journey across the ocean often lasted for numerous weeks in overcrowded and unhealthy conditions. According to Johnson (2014), the immigrants often faced attacks from the other ethnic groups that came into Minnesota. As a result of the difference in ethnicity, Johnson (2014) explains that language barrier became a major challenge especially because most of the immigrants chose to retain their native language. While many modern refugees arrive in the western countries through the use of planes, early refugees used ships with significant proportions of those onboard dying from the strong and cold winds on the ocean. They experienced anxiety and hardships especially in cases where they had to be separated from their relatives whom they had to wait for months ...

debate. According to Buddhist texts, Siddhartha married and had a child, but became
disillusioned with palace life. He started to make trips outside the palace and grew
distraught when he saw sickness, old age, and death.

1.0 Executive Summary
In my 2017, the 23rd annual meeting of North American Taiwan Studies Association (NATSA) was held at Stanford University. The experts and scholars, who focused on researching the relevant issues about Asian-Pacific region, such as Kharis Templeman, Erin Baggott Carter, Thomas Fingar, and Lanhee J. Chen, analyzed the potential conflicts in Cross-Strait relations between People’s Republic of China (PRC-China) and Republic of China (ROC-Taiwan) on this meeting.[footnoteRef:1] During the process of discussing the potential conflict between PRC and ROC, the United States was highlighted as the most important mediator that could influence the trends of the conflict between PRC and ROC, and that was able to provide it with windows of opportunity. This early warning policy memo will examine the three scenarios with different degrees of feasibilities by regarding the United States government as the most suitable mediator. The key facts of Cross-Strait relations between the PRC and the ROC will be demonstrated, and the important characteristic of the conflict situation will also be analyzed. Based on them, this memo will discuss the points that are at stake, and the reasons why prevention action is merited for Cross-Strait relations between the PRC and the ROC. After analyzing the pros and cons of three future scenarios, the last one, which the United States government stands with the PRC and supports “One-China” policy, reveals the relatively higher feasibility.

2.0 Key Facts
2.1 The Cross-Strait Relations between the PRC and the ROC
Since the second Chinese Civil War happened in 1937, the issues about the relations between PRC and POC, which were also called as Cross-Strait relations (Haixia Liangan Guanxi), have become seriously sensitive topics in both of the two political entities that were geographically separated by the Taiwan Strait in the west Pacific Ocean. In 1949, the second Chinese Civil War led to the political status that the mainland of China being governed by the PRC, instead, Taiwan pertains to the ROC, wh ...

Early immigrant in Minnesota
Running head: EARLY IMMIGRANT IN MINNESOTA 1
Minnesota is a land known for its heavy welcome of immigrants. Minnesota has been regarded as a state of immigrants. The first residents, the American Indians, all arrived from different locations and origins. The names of the localities, the waterways and the landmarks around the Minnesota state reflects the waves of immigration that occurred between the 19th and 20th century. Today, immigrants comprise approximately 13% of the Minnesota’s population. In this article, we seek to explore the experiences of the early immigrants in Minnesota. Although there are many immigrants in Minnesota from different locations, this study will focus primarily on the experiences of Hmong, Karen, Latino, Liberian and Somali immigrants.
Land and family were significant assets for the immigrants in the Minnesota state. Particularly, it is important to note that there are different groups of people who took refuge as immigrants in Minnesota (Oestergen, 1981). The Latino community makes up the largest proportion of the foreign-born population living in Minnesota. Approximately 7% of the people living in Hennepin and Ramsey counties are Latino. The Hennepin and Ramsey counties are homes to over 64000 people from the Hmong communities. Approximately 3000 Karen refugees came into Minnesota fleeing the violence and war experienced in Burmese civil war. Finally, the United States became home to Liberian and Somali refugees following the civil wars in their countries. Approximately 32 000 refugees from Somali live in Minnesota since the 1990s. Land was owned by families and the immigrants depended on the transition of the land through family lineages. The inheritance of land from one individual to another was done according to the customs and the cultural beliefs of the people involved. Land was particularly used for settlement and agricultural purposes. Other immigrants could also obtain land through purchasing from other land owners (Oestergen, 1981).
For the first immigrants, getting to Minnesota was the first major challenge they experienced. Even if they possessed the wherewithal to their passage, the journey across the ocean often lasted for numerous weeks in overcrowded and unhealthy conditions. According to Johnson (2014), the immigrants often faced attacks from the other ethnic groups that came into Minnesota. As a result of the difference in ethnicity, Johnson (2014) explains that language barrier became a major challenge especially because most of the immigrants chose to retain their native language. While many modern refugees arrive in the western countries through the use of planes, early refugees used ships with significant proportions of those onboard dying from the strong and cold winds on the ocean. They experienced anxiety and hardships especially in cases where they had to be separated from their relatives whom they had to wait for months ...

Earned Value Analysis
Tracking Project Progress
What Is Earned Value?The dollar amount you planned to spend for the work actually completed
Earned Value is the budgeted cost of the work that has actually been performed/completed
Earned Value = Budgeted Cost of the Work Performed (BCWP)
What Is Earned Value Analysis (EVA)?
EVA enables the project progress to be tracked in terms of:
The work that has actually been completed
--- Compared To ---
The work that was scheduled to be completed
Why Is Earned Value Analysis Important?EVA enables the project team to know:If the project is ahead of, or behind schedule
How far the project is ahead of, or behind schedule
If the project is over or under budget
How much the project is over or under budget
Why Is Earned Value Analysis Important?EVA enables the team to address the project’s triple constraints earlier rather than later Scope – re-prioritize/reduce requirements

Eastman Kodak Company
The consumer electronic field is a great and also equally competitive business area. Different companies usually design different techniques to and outsmart their fellow business counterparts. They do this via developing various business promotional methods and marketing designs. Companies normally review their marketing strategies from time to time in order to ensure that they make maximum profits in their businesses, the do this due to changing internal and external factors of their business enterprises that they view as factors that slow their advancement. Most of the marketing departments have the likelihood of considering their consumers wants, they have a tendency to make or design products that are very much appealing and motivating to their customers. They do this to ensure customer satisfaction and ultimately they do this to ensure that their company makes maximum profit. Most of the marketing departments try to understand consumer feedback concerning their products therefore they have set up forums to ensure that they get the consumer feedback in order to think of even more interesting strategies that will ensure the companies maximum profit and sustainability in the market. To increase its competitiveness in the industry, the company should produce a new middle range smart phone in the market,

Complex Systems: TermsSystems are groups of interacting, interdependent parts linked together by exchanges of energy, matter and informationComplex systems are characterized by:Strong (usually non-linear) interactions between the partsComplex feedback loops that make it difficult to distinguish cause from effectSignificant time and space lags, discontinuities, thresholds, and limitsOperation far from equilibrium in a state of constant adaptation to changing conditions (at the edge of deterministic chaos)
Adapted from R. Costanza, L. Wainger, C folk, and K. Maler, “Modeling Complex Ecological Economic,” BioScience 43(8): 545-55
Four Types of ComplexityStatic complexity (or just complicated): many nodes and links (a 747 sitting on the ground)Dynamic complexity: system operating through time (747 in flight, controlled by air traffic control)Wicked complexity: integrates human systems (global air transport as a system)Earth systems complexity: integrated built/natural/human systems at regional and global scale (e.g., effect of 747 on disease patterns, and on eco-touorism)
Evolution of Complex Adaptive Systems All complex systems evolve in response to changing boundary conditions and internal dynamics – so known as “Complex Adaptive Systems”. Evolution occurs as the result of three mechanisms linked in complicated ways:
Information storage and transmission Mutation (generation of new alternatives for system agents Selection among alternative based on performance given internal states and external boundary conditions
Where Complex Adaptive Systems LiveIf too many strong linkages among parts of a system, it cannot adapt; any mutation is rapidly damped out.If not enough linkages, also cannot adapt; mutation can’t be preserved in new system state.Therefore, CASs live between stasis and randomness
Human Systems vs. Non-Human Systems
(The “Wicked” vs. The “Tame”)
Wicked Systems:
1. Policy problems cannot be definitively described
2. There is nothing like an indisputable public good
3. There are no objective definitions of equity
4. Policies for social problems cannot be meaningfully correct or false
5. There are no “solutions”in the sense of definitive, objective answers
6. There is no optimality

EASY Note Cards
Students need an “easy” way to keep their study of vocabulary organized, and it is a smart idea to have a tool to frequently review new terms so they can shift to long-term memory. Creating and studying EASY note cards is a simple way to learn and remember enough about a new word so you can begin using it and become comfortable with it. EASY stands for:
Example – create an original sentence using the word correctly
Antonym – the word’s opposite (if there is one) or what the word is not
Synonym – a word with a similar meaning or a simplified definition
Your Logic – using prior knowledge (logic), make a personal connection to the word
word: part of speech
tone: can be positive, negative, neutral, or a combination
E-

Husk (noun) ;
tone: can be neutral or negative
E – We cracked pecans for pie and threw away the husks.
A – fruit; living inside
S – shell; dead outer layer

Some EASY clarification
E - an original example sentence using the word, including a context clue which illustrates the meaning (you can't say: I am bombastic. This gives no clue as to the words meaning)
A - an antonym if possible; if not, then a logical contrasted idea (what the word is not)
S - a synonym or simplified definition (in your own words that you understand; do not use a word you don’t know to define a word you don’t know!)
Y - your personal connection to the word's meaning using prior knowledge and experience of your world
(this is not a sentence, just 1-3 nouns or phrases that help you connect to the new word's meaning)
Think of tone as one of three possible scales:
Positive (+): ranging from a little bit + to very +
Negative (-): ranging from a little bit - to very -
Neutral (objective; no emotion; factual)

Early immigrant in Minnesota
Running head: EARLY IMMIGRANT IN MINNESOTA 1
An observation of Minnesota’s demographic statistical figures created by government officials is likely to show a white tapestry with joint a few scattered threads of color. However, there are those that would argue that this representation is inaccurate and that it is not a true account of the demographic history of Minnesota. It is worth pointing out that over the past 150 years, there have been immigrants from over 60 countries who have come to Minnesota and created a state which however on the face of it may seem homogenous, it enjoys a great legacy that has a rich cultural diversity. The new land of Minnesota presented a new life to these immigrants whereby they encountered new opportunities, made new relations and also encountered new opportunities. This paper therefore intends to look in to the immigration history of Minnesota ranging from the factors that attracted immigrants, impacts of immigration, challenges encountered by the immigrants to advantages of the immigration wave.
Minnesota is a land known for its heavy welcome of immigrants. Minnesota has been regarded as a state of immigrants. The first residents, the American Indians, all arrived from different locations and origins. The names of the localities, the waterways and the landmarks around the Minnesota state reflects the waves of immigration that occurred between the 19th and 20th century. Today, immigrants comprise approximately 13% of the Minnesota’s population. In this article, we seek to explore the experiences of the early immigrants in Minnesota. Although there are many immigrants in Minnesota from different locations, this study will focus primarily on the experiences of Hmong, Karen, Latino, Liberian and Somali immigrants.
Land and family were significant assets for the immigrants in the Minnesota state. Particularly, it is important to note that there are different groups of people who took refuge as immigrants in Minnesota (Oestergen, 1981). The Latino community makes up the largest proportion of the foreign-born population living in Minnesota. Approximately 7% of the people living in Hennepin and Ramsey counties are Latino.

caregivers participated. The results showed that caregiver–child relationships were moderately
positive, secure, and interactive and improved in quality over 6 months, whereas caregiver–parent
relationships were generally positive and temporally stable. Caregiver–child relationships were more
positive for girls, younger children, and those in home-visiting programs. Caregiver–parent relation-
ships were more positive when parents had higher education levels and when staff had more years of
experience, had more positive work environments, or had attained a Child Development Associate
credential or associate’s level of education rather than a 4-year academic degree. Hierarchical linear
modeling analysis suggested that the quality of the caregiver–parent relationship was a stronger
predictor of both child and parent outcomes than was the quality of the caregiver–child relationship.
There were also moderation effects: Stronger associations of caregiver–parent relationships with
observed positive parenting were seen in parents with lower education levels and when program
caregivers had higher levels of education. Practice or Policy: The results support the importance
of caregiver–family relationships in early intervention programs and suggest that staff need to be
prepared to build relationships with children and families in individualized ways. Limitations of this
study and implications for program improvements and future research are discussed.

Early Adopters: Who needs Those…
As technology spreads faster and product cycles get shorter, late adopters are an increasingly numerous and influential consumer group
IPhones, Tablets and FitBits are examples of technology late adopters are slow to embrace. WSJ's Charlie Wells joins Lunch Break with Tanya Rivero and discusses reasons why they wait to buy new gadgets and how companies market to them. Photo: iStock/Cindy Singleton

Dustin Schinn still isn’t sure if he wants an iPhone. He once gave a friend cash to order an Uber for him because he still hasn’t downloaded the car-service app. A friend recently tried to get him onto Tinder, the mobile dating service, but had to install an app called Dater, because Mr. Schinn is still using a Blackberry.
Mr. Schinn, a 27-year-old Washington, D.C., resident, is a late adopter. And he’s proud of it.
“People make fun of me,” Mr. Schinn says. “But I often don’t feel the need for these new technologies...They require you to sort of constantly adapt to something new, and I often feel this is just unnecessary.”
Many people are late adopters or know one. When it comes to technological adoption, as much as 16% of the population is considered to be in the “laggard” category, with another 34% encompassing a “late majority,” according to a landmark 1962 study about the spread of new ideas and technology by the late University of New Mexico professor Everett Rogers. His theories have since been widely applied to everything from laptop computers to mobile phones.
Technical definitions of the term “late adopter” vary. Loosely speaking, it is a person who buys a product or service after half of a population has done so. Late adopters tend to share certain characteristics: They are skeptical of marketing and tend to point out differences between advertised claims and the actual product. They often value a product’s core attributes, ignoring the bells and whistles intended to upsell the latest model. They may not try something new until weeks, months or even years after the crowd has moved on.
The Paths of Late Adopters (scroll down to continue reading)
From left: Dustin Schinn; Ryan Fissel; Tnder; Uber
A 19th century French sociologist, Gabriel Tarde, explored how technologies spread as a result of imitation of the elite. In his day, late adopters were pigeon-holed as less educated, from a lower social class and with less purchasing power than innovators and early adopters. Terry Clark, professor of sociology at the University of Chicago who has written on Tarde, says technological and societal changes mean that today’s late adopters exist in all income, educational and social groups.
Ryan Fissel, a 35-year-old Columbus, Ohio, resident, is a late adopter; he tried Uber for the first time last year. He says he doesn’t really have financial reasons for waiting for the latest Hollywood releases to come to the Redbox DVD-rental before seeing them. It’s just ...

Each text in this unit brings a unique perspective to the discussi.docx
Each text in this unit brings a unique perspective to the discussion of corporations, as each grapples with a different industry and the differing concerns therein, but all are guided by some crucial, fundamental beliefs about corporations and corporate influences. For this essay, you’ll use any 2-3 text from the list above and write an essay addressing the following prompt.
Taken together, what argument do these texts present regarding corporations and corporate influences? Consider the claims as well as the implied meaning in your chosen texts and discuss what, together, they tell us about what motivates corporations, what their objectives are, the harms and /or benefits of them, etc.
To answer this question, you’ll need to thoroughly analyze your chosen texts and have a solid understanding of the main claims being made by both. Present your answer as an argument, using specific evidence from both texts to support your ideas.
As always, be careful not to focus too much on the obvious or surficial similarities/ differences between the texts, as such connections typically do not call for substantial analysis. Instead, try to explore the deeper meaning to be found “between the lines,” as a means to understand the assumptions (warrants) on which each text is based.
Girls on Film: The real problem with the Disney Princess brand
Monika Bartyzel
Disney built its massive Princess empire — which now stretches from 1937's Snow White to 2012's Merida — by sanitizing the stories of the past. From Snow White to The Frog Prince, Disney excised fairy tales of their inherent horror — the rampant cannibalism, torture, and bloody mayhem characteristic of most traditional stories — in favor of a blanket policy of "happily ever after." The literary darkness was cleansed, but despite the company's best efforts, a social darkness has remained.
Disney has a sad history of gross racial stereotypes (from Dumbo's crows to Aladdin's ear-cutting barbarians) and highly problematic female characterizations and storylines (from Snow White's servitude to the Little Mermaid giving up her voice for love). The company's latest in a long string of controversies came last week with the news that Merida, the heroine at the heart of last year's Brave, was becoming a certified Disney Princess.
Last weekend, the fiery Scottish lass from the film received an official coronation at the Magic Kingdom — not as the rebellious girl introduced in Brave, but as a sparkling, made-over princess. Disney's redesign of the character tamed her unruly hair, expanded her breasts, shrank her waist, enlarged her eyes, plastered on makeup, pulled her (now-glittering) dress off her shoulders, and morphed her defiant posture into a come-hither pose. The bow-wielding Merida of Brave — a character who explicitlyfought against the princess world her mother tried to push her into in the film — was becoming what she hated, and inadvertently revealing the enormously problematic nature of Disney's Prin ...

1. Early psychologists were medical doctors or scientists. By the middle part of the twentieth century, philosophers and theologians added their ideas to the study of personality. How would a viewpoint that encompasses these elements affect perceptions about personality?
2. Freud, Piaget, and others viewed life as a series of stages. In contrast, Fromm and Rogers saw it as a process. How could these differing viewpoints affect perceptions of personality?
3. Identification with a subculture in childhood and adolescence may help individuals become well-adjusted later. Using Sullivan's idea of "chumship," what does this help us understand about personality?
4. Murray saw life as a story about a person's "needs" and "presses." Explain Murray's concept of personology as distinct from personality.
5. In what way, if any, is sex segregation in public schools different from racial segregation? Are there differences in the nature of the categories of gender versus race that make one type of segregation less objectionable than the other?
6. One of the ways cognitive psychology looks at the difference between genders is through gender schemas - organized mental structures that delineate appropriate male and female behavior. Gender typing is having strong views on genders that are hard to move. How is this phenomenon related to personality?
7. What have you learned about what blaming people for various illnesses and perceived weaknesses says about the society that propagates that type of attitude?
8. Some people always seem to be complaining about their health. They seem to find peace in what is called the sick role. Which cognitive factors are relevant to a person's taking on this role? When are we more likely to feel pain or decide that our body is not functioning correctly?

EARLY IMMIGRANT IN MINNESOTA 2
Early immigrant in Minnesota
Running head: EARLY IMMIGRANT IN MINNESOTA 1
Minnesota is a land known for its heavy welcome of immigrants. Minnesota has been regarded as a state of immigrants. The first residents, the American Indians, all arrived from different locations and origins. The names of the localities, the waterways and the landmarks around the Minnesota state reflects the waves of immigration that occurred between the 19th and 20th century. Today, immigrants comprise approximately 13% of the Minnesota’s population. In this article, we seek to explore the experiences of the early immigrants in Minnesota. Although there are many immigrants in Minnesota from different locations, this study will focus primarily on the experiences of Hmong, Karen, Latino, Liberian and Somali immigrants.
Land and family were significant assets for the immigrants in the Minnesota state. Particularly, it is important to note that there are different groups of people who took refuge as immigrants in Minnesota (Oestergen, 1981). The Latino community makes up the largest proportion of the foreign-born population living in Minnesota. Approximately 7% of the people living in Hennepin and Ramsey counties are Latino. The Hennepin and Ramsey counties are homes to over 64000 people from the Hmong communities. Approximately 3000 Karen refugees came into Minnesota fleeing the violence and war experienced in Burmese civil war. Finally, the United States became home to Liberian and Somali refugees following the civil wars in their countries. Approximately 32 000 refugees from Somali live in Minnesota since the 1990s. Land was owned by families and the immigrants depended on the transition of the land through family lineages. The inheritance of land from one individual to another was done according to the customs and the cultural beliefs of the people involved. Land was particularly used for settlement and agricultural purposes. Other immigrants could also obtain land through purchasing from other land owners (Oestergen, 1981).
For the first immigrants, getting to Minnesota was the first major challenge they experienced. Even if they possessed the wherewithal to their passage, the journey across the ocean often lasted for numerous weeks in overcrowded and unhealthy conditions. According to Johnson (2014), the immigrants often faced attacks from the other ethnic groups that came into Minnesota. As a result of the difference in ethnicity, Johnson (2014) explains that language barrier became a major challenge especially because most of the immigrants chose to retain their native language. While many modern refugees arrive in the western countries through the use of planes, early refugees used ships with significant proportions of those onboard dying from the strong and cold winds on the ocean. They experienced anxiety and hardships especially in cases where they had to be separated from their relatives whom they had to wait for months ...

Complex Systems: TermsSystems are groups of interacting, interdependent parts linked together by exchanges of energy, matter and informationComplex systems are characterized by:Strong (usually non-linear) interactions between the partsComplex feedback loops that make it difficult to distinguish cause from effectSignificant time and space lags, discontinuities, thresholds, and limitsOperation far from equilibrium in a state of constant adaptation to changing conditions (at the edge of deterministic chaos)
Adapted from R. Costanza, L. Wainger, C folk, and K. Maler, “Modeling Complex Ecological Economic,” BioScience 43(8): 545-55
Four Types of ComplexityStatic complexity (or just complicated): many nodes and links (a 747 sitting on the ground)Dynamic complexity: system operating through time (747 in flight, controlled by air traffic control)Wicked complexity: integrates human systems (global air transport as a system)Earth systems complexity: integrated built/natural/human systems at regional and global scale (e.g., effect of 747 on disease patterns, and on eco-touorism)
Evolution of Complex Adaptive Systems All complex systems evolve in response to changing boundary conditions and internal dynamics – so known as “Complex Adaptive Systems”. Evolution occurs as the result of three mechanisms linked in complicated ways:
Information storage and transmission Mutation (generation of new alternatives for system agents Selection among alternative based on performance given internal states and external boundary conditions
Where Complex Adaptive Systems LiveIf too many strong linkages among parts of a system, it cannot adapt; any mutation is rapidly damped out.If not enough linkages, also cannot adapt; mutation can’t be preserved in new system state.Therefore, CASs live between stasis and randomness
Human Systems vs. Non-Human Systems
(The “Wicked” vs. The “Tame”)
Wicked Systems:
1. Policy problems cannot be definitively described
2. There is nothing like an indisputable public good
3. There are no objective definitions of equity
4. Policies for social problems cannot be meaningfully correct or false
5. There are no “solutions”in the sense of definitive, objective answers
6. There is no optimality

EASY Note Cards
Students need an “easy” way to keep their study of vocabulary organized, and it is a smart idea to have a tool to frequently review new terms so they can shift to long-term memory. Creating and studying EASY note cards is a simple way to learn and remember enough about a new word so you can begin using it and become comfortable with it. EASY stands for:
Example – create an original sentence using the word correctly
Antonym – the word’s opposite (if there is one) or what the word is not
Synonym – a word with a similar meaning or a simplified definition
Your Logic – using prior knowledge (logic), make a personal connection to the word
word: part of speech
tone: can be positive, negative, neutral, or a combination

Husk (noun) ;
tone: can be neutral or negative
E – We cracked pecans for pie and threw away the husks.
A – fruit; living inside
S – shell; dead outer layer
Y – banana peel; tamales; an old physical body

Some EASY clarification
E - an original example sentence using the word, including a context clue which illustrates the meaning (you can't say: I am bombastic. This gives no clue as to the words meaning)
A - an antonym if possible; if not, then a logical contrasted idea (what the word is not)
S - a synonym or simplified definition (in your own words that you understand; do not use a word you don’t know to define a word you don’t know!)
Y - your personal connection to the word's meaning using prior knowledge and experience of your world
(this is not a sentence, just 1-3 nouns or phrases that help you connect to the new word's meaning)
Think of tone as one of three possible scales:
Positive (+): ranging from a little bit + to very +
Negative (-): ranging from a little bit - to very -
Neutral (objective; no emotion; factual)

Early immigrant in Minnesota
Running head: EARLY IMMIGRANT IN MINNESOTA 1
An observation of Minnesota’s demographic statistical figures created by government officials is likely to show a white tapestry with joint a few scattered threads of color. However, there are those that would argue that this representation is inaccurate and that it is not a true account of the demographic history of Minnesota. It is worth pointing out that over the past 150 years, there have been immigrants from over 60 countries who have come to Minnesota and created a state which however on the face of it may seem homogenous, it enjoys a great legacy that has a rich cultural diversity. The new land of Minnesota presented a new life to these immigrants whereby they encountered new opportunities, made new relations and also encountered new opportunities. This paper therefore intends to look in to the immigration history of Minnesota ranging from the factors that attracted immigrants, impacts of immigration, challenges encountered by the immigrants to advantages of the immigration wave.
Minnesota is a land known for its heavy welcome of immigrants. Minnesota has been regarded as a state of immigrants. The first residents, the American Indians, all arrived from different locations and origins. The names of the localities, the waterways and the landmarks around the Minnesota state reflects the waves of immigration that occurred between the 19th and 20th century. Today, immigrants comprise approximately 13% of the Minnesota’s population. In this article, we seek to explore the experiences of the early immigrants in Minnesota. Although there are many immigrants in Minnesota from different locations, this study will focus primarily on the experiences of Hmong, Karen, Latino, Liberian and Somali immigrants.
Land and family were significant assets for the immigrants in the Minnesota state. Particularly, it is important to note that there are different groups of people who took refuge as immigrants in Minnesota (Oestergen, 1981). The Latino community makes up the largest proportion of the foreign-born population living in Minnesota. Approximately 7% of the people living in Hennepin and Ramsey counties are Latino. The Hennepin and Ramsey counties are homes to over 64000 people from the Hmong communities. Approximately 3000 Karen refugees came into Minnesota fleeing the violence and war experienced in Burmese civil war. Finally, the United States became home to Liberian and Somali refugees following the civil wars in their countries. Approximately 32 000 refugees from Somali live in Minnesota since the 1990s. Land was owned by families and the immigrants depended on the transition of the land through family lineages. The inheritance of land from one individual to another was done according to the customs and the cultural beliefs of the people involved. Land was particularly used for settlement and agricultural purposes. Other immigrants co ...

Research Findings: Interpersonal relationships among staff caregivers, parents, and children have
been recommended as essential aspects of early childhood intervention. This study explored the
associations of these relationships with program outcomes for children and parents in 3 Early Head
Start programs. A total of 71 children (8–35 months, M ¼ 20), their parents, and 33 program
caregivers participated. The results showed that caregiver–child relationships were moderately
positive, secure, and interactive and improved in quality over 6 months, whereas caregiver–parent
relationships were generally positive and temporally stable. Caregiver–child relationships were more
positive for girls, younger children, and those in home-visiting programs. Caregiver–parent relation-
ships were more positive when parents had higher education levels and when staff had more years of
experience, had more positive work environments, or had attained a Child Development Associate
credential or associate’s level of education rather than a 4-year academic degree. Hierarchical linear
modeling analysis suggested that the quality of the caregiver–parent relationship was a stronger
predictor of both child and parent outcomes than was the quality of the caregiver–child relationship.
There were also moderation effects: Stronger associations of caregiver–parent relationships with
observed positive parenting were seen in parents with lower education levels and when program
caregivers had higher levels of education. Practice or Policy: The results support the importance
of caregiver–family relationships in early intervention programs and suggest that staff need to be
prepared to build relationships with children and families in individualized ways. Limitations of this
study and implications for program improvements and future research are discussed.
Early Head Start is a federally funded community-based program for low-income families with
infants and toddlers and pregnant women, with goals to enhance child development and promote
healthy family functioning (Early Head Start National Resource Center, 2008). A guiding

Dustin Schinn still isn’t sure if he wants an iPhone. He once gave a friend cash to order an Uber for him because he still hasn’t downloaded the car-service app. A friend recently tried to get him onto Tinder, the mobile dating service, but had to install an app called Dater, because Mr. Schinn is still using a Blackberry.
Mr. Schinn, a 27-year-old Washington, D.C., resident, is a late adopter. And he’s proud of it.
“People make fun of me,” Mr. Schinn says. “But I often don’t feel the need for these new technologies...They require you to sort of constantly adapt to something new, and I often feel this is just unnecessary.”
Many people are late adopters or know one. When it comes to technological adoption, as much as 16% of the population is considered to be in the “laggard” category, with another 34% encompassing a “late majority,” according to a landmark 1962 study about the spread of new ideas and technology by the late University of New Mexico professor Everett Rogers. His theories have since been widely applied to everything from laptop computers to mobile phones.
Technical definitions of the term “late adopter” vary. Loosely speaking, it is a person who buys a product or service after half of a population has done so. Late adopters tend to share certain characteristics: They are skeptical of marketing and tend to point out differences between advertised claims and the actual product. They often value a product’s core attributes, ignoring the bells and whistles intended to upsell the latest model. They may not try something new until weeks, months or even years after the crowd has moved on.
The Paths of Late Adopters (scroll down to continue reading)
From left: Dustin Schinn; Ryan Fissel; Tnder; Uber
A 19th century French sociologist, Gabriel Tarde, explored how technologies spread as a result of imitation of the elite. In his day, late adopters were pigeon-holed as less educated, from a lower social class and with less purchasing power than innovators and early adopters. Terry Clark, professor of sociology at the University of Chicago who has written on Tarde, says technological and societal changes mean that today’s late adopters exist in all income, educational and social groups.
Ryan Fissel, a 35-year-old Columbus, Ohio, resident, is a late adopter; he tried Uber for the first time last year. He says he doesn’t really have financial reasons for waiting for the latest Hollywood releases to come to the Redbox DVD-rental before seeing them. It’s just ...

Each text in this unit brings a unique perspective to the discussi.docx
Each text in this unit brings a unique perspective to the discussion of corporations, as each grapples with a different industry and the differing concerns therein, but all are guided by some crucial, fundamental beliefs about corporations and corporate influences. For this essay, you’ll use any 2-3 text from the list above and write an essay addressing the following prompt.
Taken together, what argument do these texts present regarding corporations and corporate influences? Consider the claims as well as the implied meaning in your chosen texts and discuss what, together, they tell us about what motivates corporations, what their objectives are, the harms and /or benefits of them, etc.
To answer this question, you’ll need to thoroughly analyze your chosen texts and have a solid understanding of the main claims being made by both. Present your answer as an argument, using specific evidence from both texts to support your ideas.
As always, be careful not to focus too much on the obvious or surficial similarities/ differences between the texts, as such connections typically do not call for substantial analysis. Instead, try to explore the deeper meaning to be found “between the lines,” as a means to understand the assumptions (warrants) on which each text is based.
Girls on Film: The real problem with the Disney Princess brand
Monika Bartyzel
Disney built its massive Princess empire — which now stretches from 1937's Snow White to 2012's Merida — by sanitizing the stories of the past. From Snow White to The Frog Prince, Disney excised fairy tales of their inherent horror — the rampant cannibalism, torture, and bloody mayhem characteristic of most traditional stories — in favor of a blanket policy of "happily ever after." The literary darkness was cleansed, but despite the company's best efforts, a social darkness has remained.
Disney has a sad history of gross racial stereotypes (from Dumbo's crows to Aladdin's ear-cutting barbarians) and highly problematic female characterizations and storylines (from Snow White's servitude to the Little Mermaid giving up her voice for love). The company's latest in a long string of controversies came last week with the news that Merida, the heroine at the heart of last year's Brave, was becoming a certified Disney Princess.
Last weekend, the fiery Scottish lass from the film received an official coronation at the Magic Kingdom — not as the rebellious girl introduced in Brave, but as a sparkling, made-over princess. Disney's redesign of the character tamed her unruly hair, expanded her breasts, shrank her waist, enlarged her eyes, plastered on makeup, pulled her (now-glittering) dress off her shoulders, and morphed her defiant posture into a come-hither pose. The bow-wielding Merida of Brave — a character who explicitlyfought against the princess world her mother tried to push her into in the film — was becoming what she hated, and inadvertently revealing the enormously problematic nature of Disney's Prin ...

1. Early psychologists were medical doctors or scientists. By the middle part of the twentieth century, philosophers and theologians added their ideas to the study of personality. How would a viewpoint that encompasses these elements affect perceptions about personality?
2. Freud, Piaget, and others viewed life as a series of stages. In contrast, Fromm and Rogers saw it as a process. How could these differing viewpoints affect perceptions of personality?

This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Wound healing PPT
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
