2. Neoclassical Comparison
The Neoclassical Period took place roughly around 1660 to 1798. The literature that
came from this period is still read today. People like to read things then try to relate
it to themselves. Many are under the influence that the Neoclassical Period is closely
related to our generation. When you take an educated look at the comparisons you
realize our time and the Neoclassical period are completely different.
In Neoclassical literature, people took romantic relationships very seriously. This is
shown in She Stoops to Conquer by Oliver Goldsmith throughout the work. The story
revolves around the two relationships between Marlow with Miss Hardcastle and
Hastings with Miss Neville. The pairs try very hard to get the approval of the parents,
because of how important relationships were. Another neoclassical work that portrays
the point is The Country Wife by William Wycherley. The Country Wife is about
married women falling in love with single men, but the relationships they are in with
their husbands bring conflict between love and society s view on marriage during the
time period. There is a confrontation between Lady Fidget and Horner, where Lady
Fidget gives into her passion to Horner. Before anything happens however, Lady
Fidget makes Horner promise to have a care of [her] dear Honor (47). Lady fidget
is asking him not to tell anybody, which provides more evidence of how serious
relationships were taken. Lady Fidget knows if the town hears about her cheating
3. Comparison Of Landscape With The Fall Of Icarus
Pieter Brueghel was a 16th century Netherlandish Renaissance painter who
completed Landscape with the Fall of Icarus in 1558. His painting was inspired by
the ancient Greek myth of Daedalus and Icarus. William Carlos Williams, a Puerto
Rican American poet, wrote a poem inspired by Brueghel s work in 1960 similarly
titled Landscape with the Fall of Icarus. There is a common theme displayed in both
works which both execute and establish this theme with different visual and literary
connotations and strengths using differing amounts of information provided through
their artistic mediums. which create an effectiveness with the end all goal being to
explain that time will pass by regardless of what is going on in an individual s world
even if they want it all to stop at once.
The painting lays a scene of a landscape of an Island territory and several different
people and animals. In the eye catching foreground we see a farmer herding a large
amount of animals their focus is darted to the left of the painting. we will come to
learn that all mentioned figures and objects in the painting have a visual focus to
facing to the left, as our eyes draw towards the right and farther out we notice off in
the distance you see an image of the fisherman off to the coast (a pair of legs
submersed in water as well not too far off). In the north you see a ship that seems to
dwarf them both in size and space. With this we can draw the connection that this
relates to the idea that time
4. Essay about psychology
As described, there are 10 different perspectives of early psychology. These
perspectives are: Structuralism, functionalism, Gestalt psychology, Behavioral,
psychodynamic, humanistic, physiological, evolutionary, cognitive, and cultural and
diversity. I will only be looking at three of these perspectives still in common use
today here is a summary of each.
The behavioral perspective quot;focuses on the observable behaviors; thus it does not
speculate about mental processes such as thinking. quot; (Davis and Palladino,
2005).Unlike the other approaches, the behavioral perspective accentuates how it is
important to learn and understand and doesn t focus on coconscious. B. F. Skinner, a

Educator s and parents need to be very careful, in my opinion, when using only this
approach with their children. Humanists will not label any behavior as bad or
wrong but instead they will focus on the individuals right to choose what they will
do or what decision they make on their own. In schools today I believe we place to
much emphasis on making the child feel they have done well no matter the level
of work they have produced or the actions they have chosen to take. The humanistic
approach can work well when trying to improve a child s self esteem or cure
shyness but, when a child is not told they are doing something wrong how will they
then learn what is considered right and wrong in society? We ve got youngsters here
now who . . . are under the authority of the school [and] are being persuaded that
there is a better way, and that way is to make their own decisions. They re being
induced to make decisions about activities that the citizenry of the state have decided
are wrong (http://www.probe.org/docs/psy educ.html) When used in conjunction with
behaviorism and cognitive psychology a child will gain a much better understanding
of their place in the world as well as what is expected of them in regards to behavior.
Many psychologists have accepted the cognitive perspective where the focus is on
how thought occurs, memory processes, and

Project 3: Television for Children (Chapter 3 Personal, Social, Moral
Development) Since I was little up to now, television has changed from what I
grew up with. For this project I watched three television shows, one in the morning,
one late afternoon, and one evening show before eight pm. In the morning I
watched Dora and Friends: Into the City. At first I was surprised that Dora grew
up and different from what I used to watch Dora. Similar to the Dora the Explorer,
Dora and Friends: Into the City is a show about Dora and her friends Anna and
Pablo. This show demonstrated more prosocial acts than violets acts. Dora and
Friends: Into the City showed prosocial acts such as making a story for a group of
little kids, and helping Kate find her book. The only violet acts was stealing and
yelling. In the afternoon I watched iCarly, one my old favorite TV shows. This
show is about three teenagers, Carly, Sam, and Freddy, whom make a live internet
show, similar to modern day YouTube. Interesting, I found that late afternoon shows
appear to show more violent acts than prosocial acts. Sam would push people down,
kick, and beat them up. Even though Sam is a character that demonstrates silly
behavior, this could send a message to kids to beat up others when one is irritated, or
upset. The only prosocial acts I saw was hugging and cheering others up. To compare
the morning show to the afternoon show, I think the morning shows show more
prosocial acts than violent acts to remind

ABSTRACT:
Religion often plays an important role in film, but does film play an important
role in religion? Perhaps the better question is, Does film play an important role in
the way people understand religious concepts? And the answer to these questions
is YES. Films or movies do play an important role in shaping the mind sets of
people in a certain way. There are various traditions and beliefs that have been
followed by Hindu Indians since ancient times. Also, many movies are made based
on these customs and traditions which are mentioned below in the article. Also,
religion is present. There are many religion based movies made and these movies
also receive a good response from the people. But, like a coin has two sides,
similarly there are also negative effects of these. People also opposed to some parts

Government funded elementary schools and high schools generally offer students
a high quality of education. Then comes post secondary, Vancouver is home to
two of the most prestigious universities in Canada and are even well known around
the world. These include UBC (University of British Columbia) and Simon Fraser
University. These two universities have a wide variety of programs with over 400

opportunities for automotive service technicians, auto body workers, blacksmiths,
and carpenters, to name a few. Leading on from post secondary is employment.
Vancouver has the lowest unemployment rate in Canada at 5.3% (Statistics
Canada), which is really great since it increases the chances of getting a job after
postsecondary. Vancouver s port (see appendix C) is the number one employer in
Greater Vancouver, creating 45,000 jobs (Living in Canada). The port generates $6.1

this process after a meningitisout break, which infected six students and campus
visitors. The first of the out breaks occurred in march. According to an e mail sent
out by campus officials, the vaccine should be available in December for the first
dose, and the second dose available in February. The Center for Disease Control
and Prevention is strongly encouraging all Princeton students, undergraduate and
graduate, living in campus housing to receive a vaccine that protects against
meningitis B. Also, University employees are urged to receive the vaccine,
especially if they have sickle cell disease of other medical conditions that may
make them more susceptible to the disease. Meningococcal, more commonly know
as meningitis, is fairly rare. Meningitis can be spread through kissing, coughing,
sharing drinking glasses, and related actions. Physician James Turner states, Seven
cases is a big deal. If my child was at Princeton, I d tell him to get vaccinated. I d

The TV is blaring a song while displaying such graceful dancers spin and sway to

11. The Relations Between Art And Life Is Explored
Throughout
The relations between art and life is explored throughout Martin McDonagh s play,
The Pillowman and Muriel Spark s Loitering With Intent. They explore these
relations through discussing the stylistic features of their characters and how these
characters are perceived in real life. Both authors explore how the preconceived ideas
of what a charactershould be is dismantled and the line which distinguishes between
art and life is becoming less clear. Another way in which these authors explore the
link between art and life is through the act of storytelling. This suggests that life is a
form of art. Both texts deal with the argument of whether it is life that influences art
or art that influences life. Some literary critics such as Henry James... Show more

This reveals two contrasting views of what a character is: one who becomes
emotionally attached to a fictional character and assigns human traits to them in order
to make them more relatable and the other, who believes that you cannot become
attached to these characters as they are not real people. It could be argued that
readers have become accustomed to fiction having a hero and a villain which is not
only addressed when dealing with Warrender Chase but also with Loitering With
Intent as despite some may taking more of a liking to Fleur rather than Sir Quentin.
However, Fleur does use some of the same tactics as Sir Quentin when trying to get
her novel back. From this, it is clear that writers were attempting to come away
from this idea of there being a hero and a villain. This notion of preconceiving
characters before we read a text is addressed by Germaine Bree, and Margaret
Guiton in their text An Age of Fiction: The French Novel From Gide to Camus.
They argue that: The novel hero, previously imprisoned in the closed, mechanistic
world of determinist theory, he becomes a free agent, capable of shaping his own life
and choosing his own destiny.
This shows that authors of the twentieth century were attempting to dismantle these
preconceptions that readers had of their characters before they had even read the text.
The preconceiving of characters is a way in which readers blur the line which
distinguishes between fiction and reality as they attach human
12. Anabolic Steroids History
Performance enhancing drugs, specifically steroids, have a long history in sports and
the United States. As a research shows while the first unofficial anabolic steroid was
produced in 1935 (isolated testosterone), it wasn t until 1936 that its use became
popularized as a way to enhance athletic performance. German athletes were rumored
to have used this testosterone in the 1936 Berlin Olympics, but the lack of
documentation as well as well known Nazi anti steroid sentiment has made it difficult
to verify such claims (Yesalis, 2000, p.52). It is this sentiment that began the early
stages of the modern anti steroid epidemic, with the belief that athletes should be
successful due to inherent talent (in the Nazi ideal, genetic fitness), not medicinal
enhancement. Despite some public dissatisfaction, Soviet... Show more content on

Based on this and other researches The United States Olympic Committee (USOC)
and the Ad Council launched a multi year public awareness campaign Don t Be an

raise awareness about the national issue of illegal performance enhancing drugs both
within and outside of sport. The campaign conveys the urgency of the abuse in an
effort to shift teens perception and image around steroid use. The campaign is
geared to show teens and other age groups that illegal steroid use can only lead to a
harmful and embarrassing end. Additionally, teens need to fully understand the

Even with its infiltration of the nation, the federal government didn t get as
involved as it did when crack hit the streets. The DEA mostly targeted big
smugglers and major dealers. Cocaine started to get a negative rap only because of
the violence and killings that started to come with it. Those who were out to stop the
crack epidemic had something else in mind to target the users. The users were the

dealers. There was an even harsher punishment for those who carried 5 grams of
crack cocaine or more. A first time offender who was in possession of 5 grams of
crack would be given a mandatory 5 years in prison. That means that you would be
given the same amount of prison time for having 500 grams of powdered cocaine
in your possession. If an individual was caught we 50 grams of crack, it would be
an automatic 10 years. There has never been a class of drug in the history of the
United States that has been as racially skewed in regards to the number of offenses.
According to the United States Sentencing Commission, which I might add came
about as a product of the Anti Drug Abuse Act, 79% of the 5,669 sentenced crack
offenders in 2015 were African American 10% where Hispanic, and the remaining
10% were white. When you contrast that with the 6,103 cases were cocaine was
the charge, the numbers are a little more spread out along the playing field: 53%
Hispanic, 27% Black, 18% white. Rightfully so, someone finally took care of the
injustice that was created back in 1986. In 2010, President Obama signed the Fair
Sentencing Act. What the Act did was it lowered the ratio of crack to cocaine from
100 1 to 18 1. That s still a very high number for two almost identical drugs that have
the same effects, has the same molecular structure, and is just as addictive. Bills are
currently being presented in order to lower the sentencing ratio down to

that the Company is managing its costs effectively. Increasing return on assets
indicates that the Company has been effectively using its assets to generate earning
power. The Hershey Company appears to be profitable and is effectively managing
costs and resources to generate increased income and provide greater return to its
investors, demonstrated by increases in return on equity and earnings per share.
Although all of Tootsie Roll s profitability ratios decreased slightly between 2002
and 2004, the results appear fairly consistent. This Company appears to provide a
steady profit and rate of return to its investors. Its profit margins and return on equity
are slightly higher than that of Hershey, although both companies appear solid in
their ability to generate profits. The stock price has also fluctuated less, providing a
steady price/earnings ratio. This is another indicator of a strong, steady performance
by Tootsie Roll Company, and stable profitability results.
As of 2008, Hershey Company still appears to be providing strong investor returns.
Although its profit margin has decreased, its gross profit rate has remained steady,

16. How Does Fatty Acid Contribute To The Production Of
Glucose
An individual engaged in vigorous exercise demands much more energy than a
sedentary individual. The supplied energy during a 100 meter sprint or a marathon
run comes at a cost, which is the production of ATP (Hill et al.). At the beginning of
exercise the body relies on the glycogen stores in muscle that aids in ATP production.
Eventually, glucoselevels in muscles begin to decrease as the activity continues, it s
also thought that insufficient glucose causes tiredness (Hill et al.) . Glucose must be
provided continuously in order to satisfy one s energy demands. Consequently,
glucose is delivered by blood to the muscles. Fatty acids also contribute to the
process of generating energy when glucose levels are low, which are broken down to

Evolution
Stars change dramatically throughout their existence, due to the forces of gravity, in a
process called stellar evolution. Stellar evolution describes how stars transform over
time, from birth, through life which includes growth, and ending in death. This
process can take billions of years, although the time scale depends on the mass of the
star. Luminosity also plays a role in the evolution of a star.
Stars begin their life cycle as molecular clouds. Some event, such as a shockwave or
collision of a galaxy, causes the cloud to collapse and form smaller pieces, which
collapse inward on itself, and form a protostar. As the star collapses, gravitational
energy creates heat, resulting in the rotation of the particles. During this phase of

they will be emotional and easily irritated even lead to family violence. As described
by the online site www.ehow.com, relationship between the gamblers family will be
disintegrated easily because the connections between parents and children cracked
down. Gamblers abort their parenting responsibilities. Even peers and relatives would
try to avoid borrowings from gamblers. So addition to gambling brings negative
effects to both mental health and family relation.
Addition to gambling brings several problems. Such as increasing illegal activities,
people committing suicide, society become less competitive, mental and human
relation problems.

Unsaturated fatty acids are characterized with having at least one carbon double
bonded with another carbon, losing the normal bond with hydrogen and the
corresponding hydrogen. The number of double bonds, hydrogens, and carbons differ
in structure of different types of fatty acids and cause the difference in function
between the fatty acids. But even though most fatty acids are different from each
other due to structure and function, all unsaturated fatty acids do have some things in
common. They all enter the cell via the membrane and increase the fluidity of the
plasma membrane, increasing overall cell health, and they all form unsaturated fats

longer required. This was clear anticipatory breach entitling Hochter to damages for
breach of contract, because De la tour had indicated his intention to be no longer
bound by his contractual obligations. Discharge by Frustration This occurs when the
contract cannot be fulfilled due to unexpected events or possibilities that radically
change the nature of the contract (Pentony, Graw, Lennard Parker, 1999). This
occurred in Taylor v Caldwell , where Taylor contracted to hire a building for a
concert. Shortly before the concert, a fire destroyed the building. The building was
essential to the performance of the contract, and this contract was terminated by
frustration due to there being no building as a result of the fire. Summary A contract
is discharged when the obligations created by it cease to be binding. Generally,
commercial parties to a contract will avoid going to court and often their contracts
will contain arbitration and similar clauses, which enable differences to be settled
outside courts but normally with legal assistance. In some instances, the discharge
stems from the failure of one of the parties to fulfil his or her obligation under the
23. Birth And Blood Cells Are Formed ( Tb ) ( Circulation )
After fertilization (in the fallopian tube), the zygote transforms into a group of cells
that multiply rapidly. Then it moves towards the uterus, develops into a blastocyst,
attaches into the uterine wall and differentiate into three layers (ectoderm, mesoderm
and endoderm), that will give a beginning to all tissues and organs. The embryoforms
embryonic membranes (yolk sac, amnion, chorion and allantois), which help to
protect the embryo. The placenta begins to develop (from embryos chorion and a
part of mother s endometrium), which will transfer nutrients and oxygen from the
mother to the baby, and waste products from the baby, will produce and secrete
hormones, and it will be in charge of immunologic barrier. The placenta is
connected to the foetus by the umbilical cord. Backbone, vertebral, the central
nervous system, and small protrusions (future legs and arms) develop. Heart and
blood cells are formed (circulation begins). At the end of this month, the embryo is
around 6 7mm long. During the second month, small protrusions transform into
arms and legs. Fingers, toes, and eyes develop (become apart and eyelids are fused).
Fundamental blood vessels, sensory, internal organs and digestive tract are formed.
Neural tube development is well progressed and the ossification begins. By the end
of the second month, the baby, now a foetus, is about 3 cm long, weighs about 1g.
During the third month the foetus fully develops its feet, toes, arms, hands and

Century
PITCHFORK RANCH The Pitchfork Ranch is one of the most historic ranches in
west Texas. The Pitchfork Ranch has been owned by the same family for more than
a century. On December 13, 1883 the Pitchfork Ranch was bought with 52,500 acres
of land in west Texas. It was started with 9,750 head of cattle. It s the only ranchin
west Texas that didn t have to downsize during the Great Depression. Today the
Pitchfork Ranch is spread over 162,000 acres in west Texas. It spreads over
Dickens and King Counties (Nordyke). This paper will discuss various topics
about the Pitchfork Ranch, from the history of it to how they work their horses,
cattle, and everyday maintaining the ranch. The Pitchfork Ranch has many
different kinds of income. Its main income comes from cattle, but they also have
mineral rights to the land and they just recently started drilling oil. They also have
500 acres of farmland which they sale some of the crops but they mainly use it to
feed the cattle crop every year. They also have a feedlot at the ranch headquarters.
The feedlot is a necessity because they have over 5,000 head of calves every year,
and it s a lot more economical to feed them out on the ranch, instead of selling them
for a lower price whenever they re younger (Ranch). The Pitchfork has been in
operation over one hundred years, and it has only been through seven ranch
managers. The current ranch manager is Bob Moorehouse, he has been the manager
since 1987. I love this way of life, there is
25. The Importance Of Internet On The Internet
Nowadays, internet has been one of the most important things in human s life. It is an
unseen bridge that allows people to access the world. A fast flow of information and
communication are what provided in internet. Any information we need is easily
gained without limited by time and space. Internet is a huge mediato allow humans
connect each other. Whatever are the events in one part of the world, will quickly
be recognized by those who are on the other side. By the development of
information technology, people now are able to have a social relationship in
internet. The media which enable them to establish a relationship virtually are
called as social networks (or social media). Numerous social networks are widely
used today. Facebook, twitter, Blackberry Messenger, and WhatsApp are few of
them, following the steps of Friendster as the pioneer back then. Some features like
chatting and video call are what people served with. However, chatting and calling
are not the only things we can do in social networks. There is also trading as one of
the most rapid activities people do other than those basic functions. As media with
almost no charge needed in using them, social networks are very powerful tools of
promotion for those who just start a small business, or want to run the business
with limited time, access and budget. They can be used also to sell unused stuffs.
Massive number of users, especially facebook, has created a big market and
opportunities for sellers to trade their products. It is also very useful when
someone wants to look for the things he needs and buys, without have to get the
new one with higher price. Trading forums as a modified form of facebook group
is a feature provided by facebook that allows its members to sell things. In selling
things through posts, they often (with or without they realize) created and used
special forms of terms or modified words. Evidently, the languages used by those
members are very different from what usually used in daily conversation. It is even
different from slang languagecommonly used in chatting or sms. Normally, one
posts an advertisement in the group with description inserted with some new words.

Mr. Smith is portrayed as an honest man with strong opinions. He is the ideal
politician in an ideal society. The film Mr. Smith Goes to Washington depicts a
reassuring image that happens to be an image of the past (Wheeler). However, in
today s legislature, people like Mr. Smith are rare due to the fact that a politician s
primary goal is re election. The good of the people may come as another intention
of a politician, but it is always secondary to bringing home the pork. There should be
more people like Mr. Smith because the legislature would be able to make decisions
more effectively and efficiently, rather than how slowly they currently operate. This
is an unfortunate truth, yet it is how our society has been shaped to operate.... Show

Taylor, a special interest group member, controlled everything Senator Paine did
until he finally decided to change. This denotes the impact that wealth can have in
the government. The system is designed so that things such as pork barreling can
pass and sometimes need to pass in order for a law to go through. This creates a
system of lies and corruption, with members of the Senate not looking out for the
national good. Senators are forced to focus on improving their own district
because it is all they can do to ensure re election. The most successful Senators do
this because it gains short term approval from their district and gets them a future
vote. This is a method of maintaining their career, and is something they are in
some cases forced to do. If someone like Mr. Smith came in and was consistently
free of corruption, people would vote for him based on his truthfulness. The
legislature s set up allows for corruption to exist in the government. The government

CNN s article stated: So much for a clean bill (Almasy). Despite the fact that the
major issue occurring was the government shutdown, Senator Mitch McConnell still

An effective hair loss treatment can proceed after indentifying the cause of hair loss.
Hair loss is a condition affecting both men and women. There are several causes of
hair loss. In men, hereditary factors play an important role in hair loss. Such a
condition is termed as male pattern baldness or androgenetic alopecia. This is linked
to elevated levels of DHT in the scalp. This is characterized by hair loss in the
temples and top regions of head and presence of thinning hairs elsewhere.

Minoxidil is a hair loss treatment approved by the FDA and is applicable for both
male and females. Minoxidil helps in increasing the blood supply in areas where it is
applied. Minoxidil acts by dilating the blood vessels, which helps stimulate hair
growth.
It increases the supply of nutrients to hair follicles and also prevents the shrinkage of
hair follicles. This helps in preventing hair loss and promotes hair re growth.
Minoxidil helps in opening up the potassium channels. This has been found for
preventing hair loss in males and females.
Minoxidil acts best for hair loss occurring in the crown region of the scalp.

29. The Three Types Of Mass Communication
1. Define mass communication.
According to the textbook, mass communication is communication to a large group
or groups of people that remain largely unknown to the sender of the message. To go
into more details, we communicate every single day, but normally to just one or two
people that we happen to know. When it comes to mass communication, we could be
speaking to the world or the public about an issue that we would like to address. For
instance, when we go on social media, or watch the news, that would be an example
of mass communication because it is speaking to a large number of audience instead
of directly to just one person. It is making a message to a group of people.
2. Define convergence.
According to the textbook, convergence is the coming together of computing,
telecommunications, and media in a digital environment. There are three different
types of convergence and they all have some differences to the way certain things
come together in computing in telecommunications and media in a digital
environment. Even though there are three different types of convergence, they all
play a very important role in mass communications. The three different types of
convergence work well by themselves, but if they work together, they build a stronger
impact in the media.
3. Explain the three types of convergence
The three types of convergence are Technological Convergence, Economic

Again, rather than deal with this issue directly, Justin brushed off the accusation and
claimed he was given permission from City Hall, then he fled to Paraguay to avoid

granted was actually to spray paint a different building and not the one he
deliberately chose to deface.
The Los Angeles Times reported that in January of 2014, Justin was once again in
hot water with the police, as allegations were made that Justin egged his neighbor s
Calabasas mansion and caused upwards of $20,000 in property damage. Police
raided Justin s California mansion hoping to find surveillance video that would
confirm that the allegations were true (Winton Justin Bieber Egging Case ). The
investigation is still underway. Although Justin has yet to publicly comment on the
matter, friends of the pop star have said that Justin feels misunderstood, and he
really is a nice guy; he blames the media for making him seem like a bad guy.
Blaming the media instead of taking responsibility is a diversionary tactic Bieber
knows all too well. He has become quite the expert in avoiding issues and/or running
from his problems. Unfortunately, Biebers problems seem to be catching up with

ill and the governess didn t handle it properly. Albert got mad. Victoria was against
him and thought that the governess was doing a good job. He left it alone and said
if the child died it would be her fault. She dismissed the governess and Vicky

British and French dominated the seas and gained control of the trading activities in

victim of colonialism due to its trade, resources and strategic location. After World
War II, majority of the countries gained their independence. Even though Southeast

The AEC Blueprint is composed of 4 pillars with 17 core elements and 176 priority
actions.
Pillar 1 Single Market and Production Base
The aim of the first pillar is for the creation of a single market and production base
which can be done by minimizing the barriers to trade and investment. Based on
AEC scorecard, it has a score of 65.9% of completed measures or 114 out of 173.
Below is a summary of the 5+2 core elements that the pillar focuses on and a snapshot
of important actual progress:

Common Effective Preferential Tariff (CEPT) rates are now virtually zero for the
ASEAN 6 and around 2.6% average for Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam. To

Mayo Clinic states that there are some reoccurring symptoms, including bad dreams,
fearful thoughts, and flashbacks. The problem could worsen if the person finds it

35. The Positive Importance Of The Halo Effect
Managers or coaches should know that sometimes their expectations can be formed
by the Halo effect (a psychological phenomenon that allows a general opinion of
someone, to be gathered from only one element). Despite the fact that influence of
the Halo effect, as well as any other perceptual effect, can have both negative and
positive consequences, initial elimination of them will do managers more objective.
The race, gender, age, educational level and class biases, which are rooted in
stereotypes, also, influence the level of expectations that leaders have for employees.
Another factor that has its influence on the result of this conception is employees
acceptance or resistance. People tend to respond positively to a manager s high
expectations and confidence in their abilities. Although, some employees are resistant
to the Pygmalion effect, especially, when they receive biased feedback. Of course,
this doesn t mean that managers should always seek for employee s acceptance.
Careful consideration of target personality and a possibility of resistance can alter
employee s behaviour and trigger powerful effects. Some employees, particularly with
a strong sense of their own, often strive to disprove inaccurate/unappealing
expectations by inspiring imaginative and creative thinking. As usual, this happens
when targeted employees are to discount negative expectations and use other sources
such as from peers or other co workers to form their perceptions of how competent or

The complexity related to the manufacturing process allows producing only certain
number of unique labels which are replicated over and again for all the products.
Thus, every label does not carry unique identity rather a group of labels carry same
identity and which is different from other group. These labels cannot act as DNA for
one item and therefore neither useful in supply chain management nor for the blue
prints information of the product.
For addressing these problems, few other techniques have been proposed which
includes such as Radio frequency identification tag or RFID, encrypted bar codes
(1D and 2D). Bar codes (1D) contain the linear lines of different width arranged
parallel in different sequences depending upon the code associated with it. Similarly,
2D barcodes contain rectangles of different dimension arranged in matrix form and,
each rectangle denotes a character. Thus, the combination of rectangles arrangement
in 2D square matrix makes a unique code for identification. Information related to
the product can be uploaded on a central server and coupled with the code given on
product barcode. Therefore, information regarding any product can be accessed
using code generated by scanning barcode. Similarly, they are very useful in
product tracking in supply chain. The labels having barcode are easy to produce by
simple printing on paper or polymeric film which can be attached or sewed to the
fabric. For avoiding the

The portrayal of servants in Shakespeare s and Jonson s plays is contrasting. In
Jonson s city comedies servants are depicted as unethical, manipulating their masters
greed and egocentrism in order to fulfill their own plans and goals. On the other
hand, in Shakespeare s pastoral comedies servants are portrayed as loyal, devoted,
reliable and helpful to their masters.
To be more specific, in Jonson s city comedy Volpone the city is portrayed as a dog
eat dog, antagonistic competitive world which is profit orientated, where
everything is commodified. In other words, it is a society that is governed only by
greed and profit. Therefore, almost all of his characters are greedy for power, money,
food, alcohol or sex. Jonson satirizes that ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Jonson s connection to Aesop s Fables is obvious, as all the character names in
Volpone recall animals, insects or birds. For example Volpone means fox in
Italian, Mosca means Fly etc. In that sense, Volpone draws from a tradition of
Aesopian beast fables. Jonson wants to create an allegory of greed and also
emphasizes that social and religious principles yield to greed and avarice; human
beings are reduced to the level of beasts and lose their elevated status.
Therefore, Volpone is a magnifico, a noble man of the Venetian Republic, clever but
totally selfish and lustful whose only purpose in life is to accumulate gold. He is so
materialistic that not only has he replaced God with gold, but he also worships his
gold as his God. He always tries to deceive and take advantage of other people,
usually naive characters. His servant Mosca (which is an Italian word used to
describe a kind of fly that is fed on dead meat) is a parasite. A parasite does not hunt,
does not work in order to survive. Similarly, Mosca is a human being who is lazy,
who does not struggle in order to acquire a livelihood. Mosca is also very clever and
canny. He is absolutely necessary for Volpone, because he is the one who can put his

Rhetorical Analysis
Nowadays, many people start living a healthy lifestyle. People realize an
importance of caring about what is in their food and benefits of home cooked meals
over processed food. Home Cooking is not just healthier, but also it has tons of
benefits. Simple examples are saving money, controlling body weight and avoiding
food poisoning. Homemade is the New Organic written by Rachel Jones for the
Atlantic (2015), discussed the new food trend cooking at home. In her article, she
explained how cooking is becoming popular recently. An earlier time, a family
which has low income had no choice but to use homemade food. Today, however,
meaning of homemade food changes. People start to appreciate the goodness of
cooking at home and intentionally choose the homemade. Moreover, she mentioned
that social media has a huge effect on this change. Since we have all the necessary
tools and food in our kitchen, only a bit of time needs to be devoted. Basically, she
tried to inform a general public that home cooking has an essential value in our life.
In my opinion, Rachel successfully achieves her intention with the help of following
rhetorical strategies: logos, ethos and counterpoint.
First, Rachel adopts logos to illustrate the emerging importance of homemade meals
to the audience. In other words, using general reasoning and facts, she tried to make
her article more persuading. In the beginning of the article, she acknowledges her

Do your eyes have less than perfect vision? Are you trying to decide whether you
want glasses, contacts, or both? Before you visit your optometrist s office, here are
some merits of each option to help you decide:
Glasses:
Easy to clean: Unless you are perspiring heavily or get something splashed on your
glasses, they will usually only require a soft cloth to rub any dust or dirt away. If
they have spots of sweat or other liquids, this can be removed with a mild solution of
warm water and dish soap.
Low chance of eye infection: Unlike contact lenses that are placed on your eyeball,
glasses rest upon your face. Because there is less potential for glasses to spread
germs to your eyes, you will have a lower risk of eye infection than than if you were

This can happen in both summer and during the winter. Depending on where you
live, it may be easier for your optometrist to provide you with glasses that provide UV
protection than for you to find contact lenses that offer UV protection.
Contact lenses:
No fogging: If you work in a kitchen or any other location where you need to walk
through multiple areas with different temperatures, foggy glasses could be distracting
or even potentially dangerous. Contact lenses will never fog, no matter the
temperature difference.
More natural vision: With contact lenses, your entire field of vision is corrected. No
matter how skilled your optometrist is, eyeglasses will have at least mild distortion
around the edges due to their shape.
No wardrobe clashes: Because contact lenses are invisible, you don t have to worry
about whether they will match a particular outfit or not. This means that you can go
on a date or to an important meeting without wondering whether you should ve worn

Save the penny!
Should we keep the penny? The US has been considering abolishing the penny we
should keep the penny because of the History and it s valuable to charities and
sentimental value
The penny is important to many because it can help with charity , sentimental and
historic value.
Charities all across the US would love to have pennys come in as a donation.For
some people the penny is a worthless coin however when you get a lot of them then
there valuable. A schoolin Washington did a penny drive and raised over $3,000 in
one week(Source 3). Alone the penny is a worthless coin but if you get a lot of them
they can add up like the school in washington raised a few thousand in pennies
alone(Source 3). Also a student
42. How To Respond To Conflict Is Inevitable Essay
Conflict is a normal adversity that people will experience in their everyday lives.
Everyone will respond differently to conflict. Every situation is different and people
will approach them in different ways. Conflict is something that is inevitable, but
how people respond to conflict is what will really impact them. They way you deal
with conflictin a positive or a negative way will shape the people and situations
surrounding you. Hard times and difficult decisions will change people, whether it
s for the better or for the worse. Conflict will change how you view yourself and
others. It can even change how you view society. This is evident in To Kill a
Mockingbird by Harper Lee. Atticus Finch has agreed to take on a seemingly
impossible trial. Tom Robinson was falsely accused of raping Mayella Ewell. There
isn t any evidence against Tom. Atticus still knows he will lose because Tom is a
black man, but he must defend Tom because he knows Tom is innocent. All the
evidence shows that Tom is innocent, but the court can t agree even if they know the
truth. In the end, justice was served to Bob Ewell because he was... Show more

In Things Fall Apart, Okonkwo is a tragic hero. He was raised by a lazy father who
never accomplished anything. Okonkwo worked every second to never become
anything like his father. This causes him to become stone cold towards anyone
with different desires. His oldest son acts like Okonkwo s father, and Okonkwo
cannot accept this at all. He is faced with a heavy conflict because his personal
morals are the polar opposite of his own son. He responds to this conflict in
negative way, using his wrath and strength to torment his son into becoming a strong
and self indulgent man like his father. His son leaves the home and Okonkwo
ceased to care about him. Since he responded to this conflict in a negative way, it
changed those around him in a negative way and caused them to only view Okonkwo

43. Risk Taking Behavior Analysis
Adolescence is a time where physical, cognitive, behavioral, social, and emotional
changes are all involved in the transition. Risk taking is important in shaping the
adolescence s identity, use their new found decision making skills, and access
themselves, others, and the world around them. (American Psychological Association,
2015). The two risk taking behaviors I chose are risky sexual activity and regular
alcohol use, which are two behaviors that intertwine. When, parents of adolescents do
not inform them about sex, they receive the information through other means such as
from their peers, television, and online, (Berk, 2010) the source of information is
often misdirected, absent, or erroneous, which can lead to risky sexual encounters.

from embodied greenhouse gases of building materials and 6 8% from transportation
of building materials. On the other hand, Yan et al. (2010) did not take into
consideration some project phases as maintenance phase, operation phase, and
deconstruction/demolition phase. Tang et al. (2013) demonstrated the relationship
between project duration, project cost and greenhouse gases emissions. They
presented a methodology for construction managementpractices in the pre planning
stage to reduce greenhouse gas emissions without increasing contractor s financial
burden and causing a delay in the contractor s schedule.
Many efforts were conducted to link greenhouse gases with building information

Kim et al. (2011) used data mining based energy modeling to improve the energy
efficiency of building design during the design phase and to perform an early design
energy analysis based on energy simulation models.
Li and Chen (2017) introduced an approach to calculate the carbon emissions during
the construction stage. They utilized the segregation integration method to calculate
the greenhouse gases of each construction process. They concluded that the
construction emissions represenst 9% of the total emissions and the carbon emissions
of the construction stage of a commercial bilding is 54.18 kg/m2. Sandanayake et al.
(2016) presented a methodology that helps decision makers to reduce the direct
emissions during the construction phase. They illustrated that materials, equipment
usage, and transportation contribute to the greenhouse gas emissions by 77.13%,
13.53%, and 9.34%, respectively. They highlighted that excavators and concete
pumps contribute significantly in the greenhouse gase emissions.
Building Information Modeling is one of the most encouraging and promising
concepts in architecture, engineering and construction industries. Building
information model can be defined as data rich, object oriented, intelligent and
parametric digital representation of the facility where views and data needed by
different users can be extracted and analyzed to generate information that

Can information systems provide businesses with a competitive edge? Are such IT
related competitive advantages sustainable in the long run? Why or why not?
In recent years, many businesses have faced an increasingly uncertain future. As a
result, there is an economic imperative to gain advantage over their competitors
(Bakos Treacy, 1986). A competitive advantage is attained when a firm reaches its
comparative efficiency or bargaining power (Bakos and Treacy, 1986). There has
been a need for the introduction of information systems into many businesses due to
human limitations, with bounded rationality concerning the memory, computation
and communication capacities of an individual (Bakos Treacy, 1986). There is limit

Here, they suggest core competence being a bundle of skills and technologies that
enables a company to provide a particular benefit to customers . This is the main
reason for improving information systems, as they optimally position a company
within an existing market and develops foresight into the whereabouts of
tomorrow s market . Information systems should help the business to produce at a
lower cost level. This will enable it to differentiate from its competitors and to
analyse other markets and market sectors it may wish to enter into (Porter, 1980;
Porter and Millar, 1985). Using information systems can potentially raise barriers
to entry for new firms who will not have the technology that an established firm
will or, or not have the capital to fund such a system. It can also create ways in
which clients will depend on your business, be able to offer new and idiosyncratic
goods and services and creating business opportunities (Bott et al., 1986, Porter and
Millar, 1979).
Information systems providing competitive advantage can be displayed in the retail
business. With high street businesses, rent and wages must be paid. These companies
will also have distribution centres. With online retailers, they only have a distribution
centre and due to the internet can have customers worldwide. The reduced expenses
means they can offer lower prices in a price driven market. As a result, the demise of

46. Gender Wage Gaps
Many believe that those who don t have education can t have wages that are higher
than a minimum wage job. In some cases this is true but Hispanics and blacks who
have received the same amount of education in a certain field to those of the Asian
and White races still make less. However, looking just at those with a bachelor s
degree or more education, wage gaps by gender, raceand ethnicity persist. College
educated black and Hispanic men earn roughly 80% the hourly wages of white
college educated men ($25 and $26 vs. $32, respectively). White and Asian college
educated women also earn roughly 80% the hourly wages of white college educated
men ($25 and $27, respectively). However, black and Hispanic women with a college
degree earn only about... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
But since 2000, progress has all but flatlined. A big underlying factor is the
slowdown in women s wage growth. That s what helped propel the closure of the
gap in earlier decades, but women have seen a standstill in wage growth since
about 2001, as has most of the country.Women make less than men, on average, for
a number of reasons. About 10 percent of it is thanks to different work experience,
often because women are much more likely to take breaks from work to care for
family members. The drop of women in the labor force over the last decade can be
tied to the country s lack of paid family leave, child care assistance, and support for
flexible schedules.Some of it is also due to the fact that women end up working in
areas that tend to pay less. But that doesn t mean they can escape the gap by
choosing different paths. They make less in virtually every industry and every job.
And while getting more education boosts earnings, women make less than men
with the same educational credentials at every level and even make less than their
former male classmates when they graduate from top tier universities. Some of that
difference may be due to different majors or grades, but when salaries in the first
year after graduation are compared while taking the college, major, grades, and
other factors into account, women still experience a significant wage
gap.Discrimination therefore plays a role. Economists consistently find a portion of
the gap that can t be explained by a variety of other factors. Studies have found that
people of both genders are inclined to give men more money, especially if the woman
is a mother. Meanwhile, women s job performance is continuously underrated
compared to men s. Therefore in the workforce are discriminated
