Place of Residence I live in Canada, Quebec Province, Laval City. This town’s absolute location is 46 0 81’ N, 71 0 23’ W. It is situated in the north of Montreal and south-western Quebec and has a distinct administrative area. Laval is the biggest district in Montreal and the third densely populated metropolis in Quebec Province. This town is close to Trois-Rivieres City and Saint Lawrence River. It is approximately 250 miles away from Ottawa Distinguishing Features Geographers use human and physical features to differentiate one region from another. Laval has unique characteristics that make it stand out from other administrative regions in Canada. One of the physical features that are exceptional to this region is St. Lawrence Lowlands, which is a seaway that serves as a major mode of transport. The lowlands also offer fertile land for agriculture, hence the dense population along the waterway. Monteregian Hills are other physical features that distinguish Quebec from other provinces in Canada. They serve as major tourist destination sites and sources of revenue to the city. Other features that are unique to Quebec are the Notre Dame and Shickshock mountains. These features offer a suitable environment for outdoor activities like hiking and camping. Mondial Choral Loto-Quebec is one of the human features that distinguish Laval from other cities. It is an annual summer festival that takes place in the region, bringing together people from different parts of the world. Sports activity is another feature that separates Quebec from other provinces. This region is popular for canoeing and kayaking events that give people an opportunity to discover Laval’s river valley. Quebec’s local products and artisans make this region a prominent tourist destination. The area is renowned for vinegar, chocolate, cider, and cheese production. Influence of Human Activity Technological, industrial, communication, and construction development have impacted Quebec City both positively and negatively. Technological growth has enhanced movement around the city through efficient traffic control. Additionally, the city has leveraged technology in the provision of essential services like energy and healthcare. Technological growth has contributed to a high number of automobiles in the city, which has added to environmental pollution. Moreover, automation of various processes has resulted in people losing jobs. Industrial development has contributed to improved living standards across Quebec. Moreover, it has promoted the invention of novel modes of transport such as cabal cars that are environmentally friendly. Increased industrialization is, however, posing threat to the survival of natural resources like plants. Additionally, there have been cases of child labor due to a lack of stringent laws. The growth of the construction sector has created employment opportunities for many people, boosting household income. In addition, this economic sector has served as a significant source of revenue to the Quebec administration. Conversely, this sector has contributed to environmental pollution due to overexploitation of re
Schizophrenia Schizophrenia is a mental disorder of the brain which causes impairments to the perception of reality as well as its depiction in the patient. It is a disease which can emotionally devastate the [patient as well as the relatives and the loved ones of the patient causes the patients to have hallucinations as well as delusions and even in some cases disorientated speech and cognitive patterns. A Schizophrenic patient usually starts getting symptoms of the disease at an early stage in his life, usually in his/ her childhood; however the disease gets more pronounced as the person grows older. The main effect that schizophrenia has on the patient is that it causes patients difficulty to differentiate between their hallucinations and delusions and the existing reality. (Comer, 2006) The causes of the schizophrenia are till yet unidentified and unknown. Scientists however have been able to establish the relationship pf the disease to the genetics of the patients, the biological and the environmental factors that are at play on them as well as the psychological characteristics that the patients might have. It is possible for schizophrenia to travel in the same family and be transferable through the genes of the parents. As a result it is possible for twins to have schizophrenia with the risk rate of 40 to 50 percent. A
A project plan in the layman’s point of view is a formal document that has been approved and mainly used to give guidance to the control and execution of any project. Therefore, from the above view, the Gauchito Project Plan is an approved document which had been written so as to give the guidance in the control and execution of the 7/8 Scale Ansari X Gauchito Rocket project. This project kicked off on the 22 nd of May 2006 and ended on 26 th July the same year. The project’s approximate cost was $63,000.00 as per the budget that had been earlier prepared. The Gauchito Project Plan has answered some of the basic questions about the 7/8 Scale Ansari X Gauchito Rocket project. It has explained why the 7/8 Scale Ansari X Gauchito Rocket project is being sponsored and why the problem that is there is to be addressed by the 7/8 Scale Ansari X Gauchito Rocket project. The project plan has also effectively given an explanation of the type of work that is going to be done on the project. This plan of the project has also clearly stipulated the key stakeholders in this project and their key responsibilities until the completion of the project. The project plan has given a rough estimate of the total time that the whole project together with its milestones was to take to be fully completed. According to the standards of the industry, PMBOK, the project plan has clearly given a description of how the execution of the project, its full management and its control were to be done. This has made the Gauchito Project Plan to qualify as a totally complete project (Heldman, 2009). The main purpose of the Gauchito Project Plan to make sure that the building of the rocket was done according to the specifications that had been provided by the customer. The satisfaction of the customer concerning the costs, the workmanship and the delivery of the product which was the rocket were very important in making sure that the goals that the project had were achieved. The customer chose the material that he wanted used in the construction work in the project. The only thing that was done on the materials was the damage inspection which could have occurred during the shipping process. The process of constructing the rocket was also written by the customer, and therefore, the project quality involved the ensuring that every process that was to be followed during construction had been adhered to, to the later. The project mainly considered the way the Gauchito Rocket was to be designed. The design, the results of the test and the launch were all checked by the use of the scale of 7/8 of the rocket that is full size, an approach which measured the success of the rocket validly with no expenses and time that could be used on a rocket that was full-sized. This greatly assisted in identifying, mitigating and risk avoidance
The constitution of the US is the absolute law of the nation, which acts as a guide to the political culture of the Americans and the law. They are many issues that have been addressed in the constitution of the US, some have been amended a number of times to fit the needs of the society. Abortion is a good example of an issue that has been addressed in the constitution; it has also been amended a number of times. Under the constitution, the president has a number of privileges, which will be discussed in this paper. The constitution plays a significant role of creating a balance on most pressing issues and making sure that America remains a democratic state. President’s enumerated powers. In the US, the president has special powers, which have been formalized. The authorities of any president of the US are carefully limited and have been well outlined in the constitution of the US. The president has the power to appoint executives, federal juries, and American ambassadors among other officers of the government. This power is also referred as the enumerated power of a president. Using the enumerated powers, the president of the US can negotiate treaties with other governments and can even recognize ambassadors from other countries. He or she can also veto bills that are passed in the assembly. As such, the enumerated powers are special authorities, which are exercised by a sitting president and are well-outlined in the constitution. Special powers available to the president : The American president has several powers: these powers include those that are granted by the constitution, by the Acts of Congress, and other soft powers given to the President as the leader of the nation. Emergency powers . Emergency powers are categorized into two groups. The two groups of powers are (a) a special power to act during the time of crisis, which is fully based on the president’s decision and (b) the special power to act according to the constitution or formal laws when an emergency has been announced in the nation. Executive powers . In the executive branch, the president has been allowed by the constitution to manage a wide range of national affairs. Therefore, the president issues rules and instructions, which have a certain force although they never require approval by the congress. An excellent example of executive powers of a president in the US is using the veto on a certain bill that the he (president) does not approve. Inherent powers . In the constitution, there are certain statements that can allow the president to have power. A statement like ….the executive power shall be vested in a president…. allows a national leader to practice some form of authority. Regulating immigration, acquiring a territory, and ordering deportation of some individuals are examples of inherent powers by the US president. Is exercise of these powers a positive or negative influence? The president of the US exercises enumerated powers for the good of the citizens and the nation at l
Evidence of Copernican theory Galileo who was a teacher in astronomy, geometry and mechanics, made so many discoveries in many scientific fields. He was able to prove that the Sun does not move around the Earth but instead, it was the Earth that moved around the Sun defending the Copernican theory. He developed the theory of the tides to prove that the Earth moved around the Sun. According to him, the tides resulted from the sloshing back and forward of water in the oceans and seas at a point on the Earth’s surface where it is accelerated and slowed down as the Earth rotates on its axis and revolves around the sun (Drake(a) 23). He observed that the depth and shapes of ocean basins as well as their sizes accounted for the differences in tides. Contributions of the discovery of Phases of Venus Galileo’s later discoveries of the Venus gave more proof to the Copernicus theory that it is the Sun at the centre of the universe and not the Earth. According to him all the phases of Venus would be visible as Venus moved around the Sun in its own orbit (Drake(b) 11). The Sun caused the illuminated hemisphere of Venus to face the Earth whenever it was on the opposite side of the sun. It would face away from the Earth when it was on the Earth’s side of the Sun. Galileo’s observations disapproved Ptolemy’s geocentric model which indicated that it was not possible for the orbits of the planets to cross the spherical shell that carries the sun. This proved that just like the Earth, there are other planets rotating and revolving around the sun in their axes implying that the Sun is stationery while the planets are in motion. Mathematics as key to understanding nature Galileo had believed that Mathematics was the key to understanding nature since he was an empiricist as he based his conclusions on the evidences that he studied. He rejected the way other philosophers had made their conclusions. He disagreed with Aristotelian assumption which had specified that each material body has a position which is in the order of things therefore the motion of objects should be explained in terms of natural tendency of every body to try to find its own place. He proved his hypotheses by observing, measuring, weighing and finally calculating to achieve mathematical proof. He believed that application of mathematics revealed the structure as well as the laws of the universe (Eistein 51). His investigations of nature with presumption that understanding of mathematics made it possible to understand nature had made him be regarded as a scientist and not a philosopher. His thinking and ideas therefore became the base of scientific revolution in the 17 th Century (Lattis 104). Contributions of Mathematics to Copernican theory Galileo used his telescope to observe the shapes of planets, comets and the moon and using mathematics, he was able to prove that Aristotle’s perfec
Introduction Digital technology has become part of the everyday life in the world. Various sectors such as music industries have faced the problem of responding to the speedy developments in digital technology. In the world of arts, digital technology changes every day especially in media convergence technologies and digitalisation of production. Gündüz (2012, p. 202) confirms how digital technology factors have become the engine through which the wheels of art and design revolve all across the world. This advancement has made it very difficult for any country in the world to do without digital technology in its arts industry. Various economies have therefore put in place mechanisms to counter the effect of the digital revolution to keep abreast with technological changes. This section of the paper discusses the impacts of digital technology on the world of arts. It has reduced Expenditure Digital technology has cut down the expenditure of producing art works thus improving accessibility by many people. Just the way the use of cars, motorbikes, and airplanes has increased the speed of travelling, with people reaching their destinations without much efforts, the digital technology has lessened the efforts that people had to put on walking or running to production studios and to areas where artists portray their work. According to Bhattacharjee et al. (2009, p. 140), the art industry, which used to produce its work manually thus using much funds, has increased the speed of production with less efforts and expenses due to digital technology. Since works of art are now produced at a lower cost, it has also become easier for masses to access this work because prices are also lower in the market. Technology reduces production expenditure hence making production expenses cheaper. Constaninides (2004, p. 115) also points out that digital technology has lessened the efforts that producers and consumers put in accessing raw materials and products consecutively. Artists can currently access raw materials for their business from the internet thus cutting on travelling costs. It has expanded the Amount of Artwork that One Artist can do With digital technology in place, one artist can do several activities at the same time. According to Van House (2011, p. 125), an artist can sing on a digital audio recorder, play some digital accompaniments, and dance at the same time. Digital technology enhances efficiency of the whole process of producing artwork. Writing of scripts, a stage that was very cumbersome to most artwork producers, has been made easy by the i
Clifford/James argument is devoted to the issue that there are cases when people have to believe the information without additional arguments and proofs. This statement cannot be agreed on as there are no cases when people are to believe others without supportive arguments. It is possible to accept the evidence without any arguments, however, one will still need the argumentation. The acceptance of the argument without support does not mean the belief in it. The belief without sufficient evidence may lead to disappointment in a person who has offered an idea. There are a lot of cases when trusting someone without asking supportive argumentation people were left frustrated at the end when it came out that the opinion of another person was wrong. One of the main reasons why it is impossible to trust without sufficient evidence is that all people have a different vision of life and situations, therefore, being good enough for a person, the issue may seem negative for another one and the arguments may help give a vision of what one is talking about. One of the most spread examples of this idea is the purchase of the service. Having used the services of a master, one person may be satisfied with the work. Chanting the praises of the master, a person may give a recommendation to another one, however, this is a bad idea to believe without arguments. The quality is an abstract notion and different people understand it in various ways. When someone is sure that the quality means the pleasant appearance after the work of the master is completed, others may be sure that quality is the way how the work has been performed, the quality of the materials used, etc. Therefore, it may be stated that the different vision of the quality of a performed work does not allow people to trust without arguments. Another example of the similar statement is when people give pieces of advice about the vacation. One should not believe without arguments why the place is great for having a vacation as for some people noisy place with active entertainments is an ideal place for spending time while others may believe that a good rest is possible only when a silence is the only support of a person. Tastes differ, therefore, it is impossible to dwell upon absence of arguments if one wants to remain satisfied. When people dwell upon some issues they usually consider their personal point of view from the personal life position. This statement is correct, however, there is no any g
There are many aspects to analyze in considering management as a process that helps people achieve goals through deliberate planning, organizing, motivating, and controlling. First, it is vital to execute this process so that resources are optimized and serve to achieve the desired outcome. The standard model for getting started includes several key steps: assessing, planning, acting, evaluating, and sustaining. The resources on The Community Tool Box website were examined to explore this topic in more depth. As a result, two components that play a fundamental role in management were selected – planning and evaluation. Planning eliminates the negative effect of uncertainty, focuses attention on significant tasks, achieves lean operations, and facilitates control. Planning is concerned with the prevention of errors and with the need to take advantage of all opportunities. An essential point for the effective implementation of the idea in the future is not only the definition of the mission and strategy but also the prioritization of tasks (The Mind Tools Content Team, 2021). The initial plan is a well-thought-out course on which the project should develop, and the quality of the elaboration is tested in actual conditions. External factors are constantly changing, which in turn forms the need to update the plan. The project needs to be evaluated and adapted to understand whether it is working or not ( A model for getting started , 2021). Following persistently the original strategy and an unwillingness to modernize some aspects can lead to failure. It is crucial to develop methods and tools to evaluate the initiative’s effectiveness and apply them in time. Competent managers know when it is possible to continue to support the original course and when it is more profitable to renew it. The organization’s success, the improvement of the project, and the community’s productivity depend on a mass of factors. The principal among them is the presence of a management system. The study of the resources on The Community Tool Box website has made the view on this topic wider. The main conclusion is that it is necessary not only to learn the theory, constantly act and maintain what has been started but also to develop a strategy for the future and critically evaluate it. Combining all these aspects will help implement plans and adapt them in time to modern realities.
Susan appears for her fifth session, which was scheduled during the phone call you made to her after she missed her last appointment. She apologizes for missing the visit. “The truth is, I got completely overwhelmed,” she says, “and I decided it would be better to take a nap than to force myself to come see you.” For the first time since you met her, she appears somewhat disheveled and unkempt. Previously, she appeared to session in neat, casual clothing; today she is wearing baggy sweatpants and an outsized tee shirt, both of which are wrinkled and stained. She also appears markedly restless, shifting frequently in her chair and not making much eye contact with you. She reports that she has been distressed and disturbed since the last visit, and states that her effort to reframe her negative thought processes stirred up some bad memories. “It’s old stuff, not worth talking about,” she says. “Basically it all comes back to me not feeling good about myself.” She tells you that she worked on the homework you assigned, but despite her best efforts, she was not able to reframe her automatic negative thoughts. For the first time, she expresses doubt about therapy, stating that her failure to complete her homework simply reinforces her belief that she is not successful as a human being and is “doing it wrong.” What support would you offer Susan in session? The primary concern during the session would be Susan’s negative perception of her progression through the therapy process. As explained in the vignette, she feels that her failure to complete the assigned homework reflects her failure to be a successful human being and deal with her problems. These feelings are crucial as they might lead to her dropping out of therapy and prevent her from achieving any sustainable results (Paige & Mansell, 2013). To support her, it is equally important to address the intrinsic reason for the increased distress and to offer immediate support to remedy symptoms and unwanted feelings (Lambert, 2013). First of all, it would be essential to ask Susan to elaborate on her feelings to determine if the information offers any significant insights into the reason for increased distress. Secondly, the therapist should seek to interpret the client’s feelings to normalize them. It is normal for clients entering psychotherapy to exhibit avoidance behaviors, as well as increased distress (Paige & Mansell, 2013). However, this does not necessarily mean that the client would fail to complete the course and recover. On the contrary, the patient’s failure to complete certain tasks or to come to appointments indicates areas of interest that
