At twenty-seven Anne is fully matured and for her falling in love appears to be a distant dream. The last eight years have been spent by her in regret and she does not have any hopes of finding true love again. The novel is narrated in two different settings. From the time of Michaelmas to Christmas, Anne stays in the countryside at Somerset, initially with her sister and later with Lady Russel, her friend. She spends two days at Lyme where several of the characters in the novel have their destiny changed due to the events that occur during this time. Anne has to reluctantly leave for Bath and live with her father Sir Walter Elliot who is portrayed as being rather snobbish and a spendthrift. He had taken a house in Bath in order to reduce the expenses while his country estate was given on rent to the sister of Wentworth who stays there with her husband. Anne undergoes a lot of mental hardships in staying at Bath and considers herself to be confined in an environment of hopelessness and artificiality. She gets reprieve from the place by way of help rendered by Captain Wentworth who still believes to be in love with her just as she too had not forgotten him. Persuasion is one of Jane Austen’s most mature novels and depicts the intense feelings of tender love on the part of Anne, whose character is in the nature of being patient and gentle but also firm at the same time in making her a befitting heroine in the story. Though Austen is not considered to be a revolutionary, she has not delicately reflected on the changes taking place in the establishment of marriage and society during her time. In this novel she has relayed the ideals of a traditional marriage but has also challenged them at the same time. The novel depicts in this regard the role of characters such as Anne, Crofts, Mary and Charles as pushing against and breaking the borders of these different areas thus enabling them to merge into the system. The characters of Admiral Croft and Mrs. Croft are seen as challenging the doctrine of the diverse spheres yet their relationship is seen as symbiotic in depending on each other for contentment and happiness. Anne’s mother is no more while her father and elder sister are shown to be very selfish and arrogant. Her younger sister is also not in keeping with her expectations and is rather manipulative and irritating to her in view of her being a hypochondriac. Anne is rarely seen as a happy person and despite her sweet nature and high intellect nobody seems to appreciate her for what she is. She lives in virtual isolation and within a contracted social sphere whereby, she “was nobody with either father or sister; her word had no weight; her convenience was always to give way; she was only Anne (Austen Persuasion 8-9). Her only confidante is Lady Russell who was the best friend of her mother. The lady has good intentions for Anne and means well for her but is seen as having flaws in terms of her tendency to overvalue social positions while making opinions about other people. Such flaws in Lady Russell made Anne feel disturbed since she was the one who influenced h
Introduction The significance of energy and its availability for growth and development of any economy is evident and cannot be underscored. This is largely because the key sectors of the economy it industrial, manufacturing, commercial, financial, agricultural and other allied sectors are dependent on energy for their productivity and services to be effective and efficient. Thus, development policies that will aid the organizations, which are key stakeholders in the exploration and generation of energy are of great significance. Such, development policies improve the administration and gives insights on better approaches on issues involved in these organizations (Lewis, 2011). Consequently, other sectors of the economy also benefit as a result of reliable, efficient and affordable energy sources. Resolute Energy Corporation Resolute Energy undertakes acquisition, development and processing of onshore domestic hydrocarbons, chiefly crude oil. Its key assets constitute; Aneth Field in the Paradox Basin of Utah and Highlight field in the Powder River Basin of Wyoming, predominantly in the Permian Basin of West Texas and in the Bakken trend located in the Williston Basin of North Dakota (Lewis, 2011). Why this Organization is of interest The Resolute Energy Corporation is one of the stakeholders in the energy sector in the United States of America and is listed in the Russell 2000® index. It was incorporated to acquire and operate large scale oil and gas properties, with particular focus on oil. In addition, its management exemplary performance of financial and operational success, coupled with its deep relationship to virtually all elements of the oil and gas community almost assures its success in its current market (Lewis, 2011). Owing to the diversity of expertise prevailing at Resolute Energy Corporation, it has enabled efficient management of the enterprise and advanced transactions. Thus, a proposal of policies that will improve the organizational processes and the subsequent adoption of such policies of Resolute Energy Corporation will play a significant role in ensuring the success of such organization. Project Description and its relationship to the Organization’s Business Objectives The project proposal, for the implementation of a new hiring process, is to be adopted by Resolute Energy Corporation. This would involve restructuring the recruitment procedures of the respective personnel positions in the organizational structure of the company (Kerzner, 2010). Resolute Energy Corporation primary objective is to acquire and operate large scale oil and gas properties, with particular focus on oil. Hence, a hiring process that will ensure that competent individuals are recruited to fill the respe
The American social security system is said to crumble, and that today’s workers might actually fail to get pensions if the trend continues. As a result, policymakers and the general public agree that something should be done to save America’s retirement safety net. However, the social security system is not unique to America; most systems in the world, even in Europe, are facing the same problem. Others actually are in worse condition than America’s own. But that should not be an excuse for delaying the improvement of the system. America has vital lessons to learn from countries that have successively pulled their systems from such problems. What is need is just political will among legislatures and taxpayers’ interest to have the coming generations retire well as generations have done since the national retirement safety net was established six decades ago. This paper is an attempt to comb through possible solutions to this problem, including the use of institutionalism theory as a framework to designing a resolution. The paper is arranged in several sections that appear concurrently as follows: it first explains the social security issues as a policy problem, then extrapolates on some existing policy solutions, then lists potential solutions based on William Roth’s policy recommendations. It will further list this author’s views on Roth’s theories and conclude by explaining how institutionalism could be used to create new foundations for the system. Overall, it holds that reforming the system is necessary for the country to secure safe retirement for many generations to come. Failure to do so will only compound the problem and risk the spillover of the system’s collapse to other sectors of the economy. Reformin
Since people live in society, cooperation between the two is inevitable. The relation between individuals and society is rather close since the former make up the latter and the latter regulates how the former life. The two entities cannot exist without one another, and it is crucial to analyze which of them is more significant. While society is the fundamental condition for the emergence and development of people’s lives, it would not exist without humans. The reason why this issue is philosophical rather than sociological is that it entails the discussion of values (Hossain and Ali 130). Society predetermines individuals’ existence, but it would not be able to operate without people. Humans are social animals by their nature: babies need support from their parents, and at every further level of development, people require society to ensure their existence and opportunities. The fundamental purpose of the society is “to promote good and happy life for its individuals” (Hossain and Ali 131). With the help of society, individuals can live in cooperation and harmony despite occasional conflicts and misunderstandings. The society arranges all the necessary prerequisites for the continuous evolution of individuals. At the same time, people return the favor by making numerous contributions to society’s progress. Thus, in the most successful course of events, the impact of society on individuals and vice versa is positive. Social life is composed not only of many people but also of places and activities (Hossain and Ali 132). Allowing humans to participate in a variety of processes, society helps them to improve themselves. Individuals’ feelings and thoughts are affected by the social atmosphere in which they exist. At the same time, social life can have a negative influence on a person in case some detrimental processes are happening in it. There are restrictions made by society that can limit humans’ actions, which is not always accepted well by the latter. Limitations exist in different areas of people’s cooperation, including family relations, education, work, religion, and government (Hossain and Ali 132). In return for society’s attempts to create advantageous living conditions, people make efforts to enhance society by inventing commodities that make society’s existence more comfortable. The impact of society on people can be viewed through its establishment of particular systems, which one may deem cultural or traditional. For example, people as a group can determine differences between genders, assigning them some tra
Introduction The patient is a 14-year-old girl, Julia, who visits a doctor with her mother. Julia describes her health as good. She is well-groomed, and her appearance corresponds with her age. She is not very communicative, but she is ready to answer all questions and explain her complaints. At the beginning of the conversation, she admits that her main complaint is her headache that could last for days. The mother sees the computer and the phone as the main reasons for why Julia has a headache. The girl spends much time using these technologies. In her turn, Julia admits that she used her computer and phone as an opportunity to distract her from pain. No similar cases have been observed before. She is a good student. She lives in a good family the members of which do not have any health problems. She does not have any other complaints and behaves normally in regards to the kind of pain she has. Further Questions for Julia   * Do you observe a headache from the early morning?   * What methods have you tried to fall asleep?   * Have you recently survived some accidents or situations that made you upset, nervous, or anxious? (insomnia and PTSD)   * How often do you observe your sleeping problems?   * Do you have a headache when you sleep well?   * How long does a headache last? (migraine and PTSD)   * Do you feel vomiting or nauseous? (migraine and PTSD)   * What kind of a headache do you experience? (migraine)   * Do you have some sensitivity to light? (migraine)   * What is the location of your headache? (migraine)   * Do you have nightmares? (PTSD and insomnia)   * Do you use some pain reliefs? (PTSD)   * Have you ever visited a psychiatrist? (PTSD) Differential Diagnoses   * Insomnia (G47.0): is the disorder that is characterized by some difficulties in falling asleep and sleeping at nights, and the adolescents are at high risk of having insomnia problems (Roberts & Duong, 2013, p. 66). The relations between a headache and insomnia have been reviewed by a number of researchers, and it was proved that sleeping problems could be the reason for why people suffer from headaches that could last for days (Tran & Spierings, 2013, p. 168; Uhlig, Engstom, Odegard, Hagen, & Sand, 2014, p. 746). The patient suffers from a headache and admits that she could not sleep well. She spends only 5-6 hours on sleep. Julia explains such short period of sleep by the inability to fall asleep as soon as it is required. She spends much time in front of her computer and phone.   * Migraine, unspecified, not intractable, without status migrainosus (G43.909): is a type of a headache disorder that is usually characterized by the tension-type headache (Balottin, Poli, Termine, Molteni, & Galli, 2012, p. 112). The symptoms of migraine cannot be defined as specific, and even experts have some difficulties in diagnosing it (Evans, 2015, p. 313). They could include mood changes, frequent urination, and sleep problems. A headache is a significant symptom of migraine that cannot be neglected. Migraine is usually identified as a certain type of pain a person could exper
Introduction Since the invention of airplanes by the Wright brothers in the early 20 th century, major developments have taken place that have made air transport one of the safest means of transport available today. It is said that the Wright brothers’ airplane lasted for only few seconds in the air before coming down. In the contemporary world, plane manufacturers have increased, with majority being found in Europe and in the United States of America. The two major dominant plane manufactures are the Boeing and the Airbus, found in the United States of America and France respectively. However, as much as developments have continued to take place, accidents have continued to happen, although at a low rate compared to the past when aero planes were being introduced on large scale. People who would be expected to be available for investigation and the reasons behind Following the plane crash in Indonesia, some of the people who would come to assist with investigation from other parts of the world are the flight engineers from Australia, working for the crashed airline. These people are very important in this kind of investigation because they were the ones who had been servicing the plane prior to the crash. They can provide vital information to other investigators as they seek the common answer; the cause of the accident. The other groups of people who need to be present during the investigation are the engineers from the Airbus who manufactured the aircraft. These people are very important because they have full knowledge on the operating mechanism of the aircraft and hence they will be in a position to analyze the remains of the aircraft to determine the probable cause of the accident. In addition, the aircraft is usually fitted with a recorder referred to as the black box. In most cases when an aircraft crashes, it remains intact and hence provides the investigators with the pilots’ conversation just before the crash. With such people from Airbus on site, the cause of the accident is likely to be established and hence make proper adjustments to prevent such an accident from taking place in the future. Representatives of International Air Transport Association (IATA) and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the two main bodies that are responsible for the streamlining of airlines’ operations in the world, should be made part and parcel of the investigation. This is informed by the fact that, they are responsible for formulating laws governing the aircraft operations in the world. Incase they realize the
Victory in war is not achieved by accident. It is a product of a well-selected and carefully implemented strategy. In this concept paper, the war in Afghanistan will be used as a case study in conveying the core message of this concept paper whose main theme is how to win a war. The paper is intended to inform rather than persuade or argue. The Afghanistan war which is technically the war against terrorism has taken longer than the world expected. With the bombing of the World Trade Center and the discovery that Osama bin Laden was being protected by the Mullah of Afghanistan, it was expected that the United States of America which is technically the country that is leading the war against terror, would get into Afghanistan, capture bin Laden, and move out after kicking the Taliban out of power. This would have left the lives of the common Afghanistan people uninterrupted. But we have seen a different scenario wherein either the Taliban have adopted better fighting skills or the United States of America, as well as the NATO forces, have failed to come up with a winning strategy. Rashid points out that without a superior strategy, the war is lost (Rashid, p. 19). Whichever way, the case needs to be dealt with decisively so that more lives are not lost. These include the lives of the soldiers involved in combat and the lives of the common Afghanistan people. Ricks has pointed out the fact that more than military concerns are at risk (Ricks, p. 45). It is for this reason that a better strategy needs to be employed. This is what this concept paper is all about. I will attempt to provide substantial information on how the war can be won with little damage to the Americans, the coalition forces, and the Afghanistan people and maximum impairment of the Taliban. The main tools that form part of this informative piece are cutting-edge technology, espionage, and sufficient forces together with superior combat skills appropriate for an amorphous enemy. Great war theorists, as well as practical men who took part in live combat, have put across several strategies that can be adopted and applied in the Afghanistan war to end this protracted conflict that has claimed so many lives and consumed so many resources without a clear sign of victory shortly. As a way of winning, it is a fact that still stands out as the most important segment of this concept paper. But at the end of the day, every element that has been mentioned in the thesis has to be present to ensure that the factors are present in totality to allow for maximum interaction and the consequent realization of victory. About the style of military management that needs to be applied for the realization of the end which is victory, the key elements needed are measurement, estimation of quantity, calculation, balancing of chances, and lastly victory. This is according
Introduction As patients and healthcare providers continue to handle an increasing volume of health information, such as medical histories, clinical laboratory results, care management, and medications, among others, healthcare vendors have focused on developing new health IT (information technology) applications to assist patients and healthcare providers to manage, share, and control health information electronically and engage more actively in managing health. Healthcare applications capture a diverse range of software, hardware, and Web-based applications designed to support healthcare providers and patients in handling information. This subspecialty of health informatics encourages healthcare stakeholders to adopt electronic communication and information management to enhance healthcare outcomes and decision-making. Furthermore, healthcare applications also cover analysis of information requirements, as well as implementation of effective methods to improve healthcare information accessibility and to model and integrate patients’ preferences into healthcare records. Today, vendors have embarked on sustained efforts to develop modern applications to run on a variety of distinct platforms, including mobile devices, Web platforms, and messaging systems, among others (Posada 2014). Vendors have designed these applications to benefit patients and their care providers (Mosa, Yoo & Sheets 2012). These healthcare applications have diverse roles in healthcare settings. They help in patient self-management, patient education, providing real time data on patients’ progress, and capturing and storing patient information in easily accessible formats. One outstanding use of these applications can be seen in messaging capabilities where patients and physicians communicate on a real-time basis, irrespective of the distance or geographical location. Additionally, healthcare applications that collect, analyze, and integrate data have provided comprehensive resources for care providers and patients. These tools enhance convenience, especially in emergencies where critical information is required for quick decision-making. As mentioned above, healthcare applications vary in the extent to which they capture and integrate information concerning patients, as well as the extent to which they provide patient-specific information for decision-making to users. Some major healthcare applications include self-management systems, electronic health records, and interaction systems, which are provided by various vendors, run on different operating platforms and devices, and account for various needs. In this project, a comparative analysis is conducted, focusing on Cerner Corporation and Wipro Ltd in a wide range of areas. These IT companies are vendors of healthcare applications. Background or History Background or History for Cerner Cerner Corporation is an American firm that supplies health information technology (HIT) services, solutions, devices, and hardw
Siddhartha Gautama, who is also known as Buddha, once said, “Anger will never disappear so long as thoughts of resentment are cherished in the mind.” This statement holds a lot of truth in it when it is analyzed psychologically. Anger is a psychological problem that starts in the mind. It always occur when one has some sense of resentments in the mind, either because one feels shortchanged or a feeling that something did not go as per the expectations. The mind will be disturbed as one tries to imagine how the incident took place, and why it happened the way it did, and not in the manner desired. This will create a lot of disturbance in the mind. The mind will not settle as such an individual would be trying to reflect on why the incident took place the way it did. Recent psychologists have confirmed that anger is always a reflection of the mind’s status. Depending on the level in which the mind is not at peace, anger will always be reflected in various forms. Understanding the nature of anger would demand that one knows factors that affect the mind. Scientists have demonstrated that the mind controls all the activities of an individual. Anger is a sign that an individual is not pleased with an act of another individual or a given process. It is a sign that the mind is not at peace with that a particular person or process. This distress in the mind wills illicit anger. Depending on how massive the disturbance is in the mind, the resentment may take a shorter or longer time to be eliminated from one’s mind. As long as the resentment still exists, the anger will persist. Various factors will determine how long the resentment will last. For instance, when an individual is constantly expose
