Introduction The epistle to the Galatians highlights the relation of the believers in Jesus and God. It makes an accent on the differences that occurred after a human being accepted the grace of God. The primary purpose of the paper is to critically evaluate the epistle to the Galatians 4:1-7 and to provide the detailed analysis and interpretation of the proposed passage. Main body The author of the Epistle is Paul. In the first chapters, Paul provides the information regarding the way he received the message from God. Paul aims to share the true message of God with Galatians. The passage under analysis is taken from the fourth chapter of the Epistle to the Galatians. Galatians 4:1-7 highlights the topic regarding the evaluation of the benefits of heirs and slaves on the one hand and grace and law from the other. The message provided by Paul in the passage contributes to better understanding of the difference between the life of slavery and the opportunity, that society has already, received to become the children of God. He also highlights that God acts through his Son, Jesus. The major message is that people used to be slaves; however, with the acceptance of the grace of God, everyone turns to the son and heir. As slaves, people could not feel the true meaning of happiness and freedom of choice 1 . The most interesting aspect of the story is that it teaches that everything is possible if there is a place for God in a human’s heart. God has already given us everything; all the society has to do is to believe and enter the God’s family. The pure gift of God gave people a second chance. Every person can get it only with faith inside. It seems essential to note that the message to Galatians is relevant even for the modern times. To get better involved in the topic, the in-depth analysis of the passage should be provided. Aiming to demonstrate the spiritual imperfection of those who were under the Law of Moses, Paul provides the example of the heir being a child “what I am saying is that as long as an heir is underage, he is no different from a slave, although he owns the whole estate” 2 . The heir was supposed to inherit everything that belonged to his parents. Acting this way, the heir can be considered as a slave while he had no freedom for actions and could not take independent decisions. In fact, Paul stresses that the heir is dependent on the guardians and tutors “the heir is subject to guardians and trustees until the time set by his father” 3 . He was watched by the time he received the property. This time was commonly determined by the father. After the ceremony, the heir was awarded the male toga, the symbol of recognition of son and his rights 4 . I do not profess to be an expert regarding the subject, but I am strongly convinced
Introduction Stiff competition in today’s industries has kept industrial operators struggling to come up with innovations that can help them survive. Currently, industries are looking for ways not only to improve the quality of their services but to also improve their efficiency. One of the techniques that have been found to help industries achieve this objective is the lean practice. It has become too popular among industrial operators with industries such as the automobiles using it to improve their production quality and volume. Apart from automobile industry, the practice is gradually being adopted by machine tool industry. Despite the concepts of lean production being invented from mass productions, limited studies have been established that tries to come up with ways in which the same may facilitate in improving efficiency of low production industries such as machine tools industries. This paper aims at giving a brief survey of lean implementation in machine tool industry. This is to get an insight of how the industry is conscious of the concept as well as identify some of the lean needs required by this industry. Literature review Lean management entails a multifaceted management practice that comprises of the state of the art systems, suppliers management and work groups. The main desire for adaptation of lean practice in machine tool industry is its ability to help industries come up with their products
Introduction The video represents Valery Breshears, a 7-year-old girl, playing Francois Schubert’s “The Bee.” It is possible to assume that the girl studies in Grade 1. Valery performs “The Bee” individually, and her playing is accompanied by the pianist (“Francois Schubert ‘The Bee’ by 7-Year-Old Violinist”). In spite of the fact that the performance is comparably short (about 1 minute and 10 seconds), this young violinist demonstrates the developed skills in playing the violin and interacting with the accompaniment during her performance. Main body Therefore, the most surprising aspect associated with the demonstrated musical activity is the level of Valery’s proficiency in performing “The Bee.” The reason is that Valery demonstrates an effective technique of using a violin bow to produce musical effects. Although this piece is often used for training young violinists, the level of their performance is usually not satisfying. Watching this video, students can focus on approaches to holding a bow and controlling quick movements represented in the video. It is possible to use this video as an example while teaching students to play “The Bee” and training finger dexterity. Conclusion Therefore, it is possible to state that this activity can be used in a classroom with elementary students who have only started to improve their skills in playing the violin. If students do not play the violin, this video can still be used in the classroom in order to teach them the basics of rhythmic structures and movement coordination referring to the tempo of this musical piece. It is also important to use this example of musical activity for motivating students to achieve higher results in their performance related to different areas of knowledge and skills.

The issues of transactions occurring in the marketplace and consumers’ collective lawsuits have proven to be sensitive ones. Statistics show that cases increase from year to year, and Warburton (2020) demonstrates it in his book Economic Analysis and Law: The Economics of the Courtroom. However, in order to turn to the issues themselves, it is reasonable to revisit basic marketplace policies. When demand increases – that is, change in demand occurs, not change in quantity required – prices and quantities increase synchronously. Contrariwise, if the market supply is reduced, the number of widgets supplied drops by a certain number of units, and the price per unit rises. The intersection of supply and demand curves demonstrates the sort of an agreement (equilibrium) that occurs in the market between agreeable buyers and widgets vendors. There are a number of reasons why equilibrium is thus important. Essentially, equilibrium indicates efficiency in economics as well as in law. Efficiency there means the production of society’s desires as cheaply as possible. When it comes to an economy, efficiency has components such as production and distribution. In its turn, market efficiency is the lack of enforcement in cases of economic transactions. Buyers and sellers freely and willingly making transactional decisions must be founded on information available without deception. Such prerequisites reduce the likelihood of undesirable tensions (disequilibria) in the market, exceptions being the cases of economic shocks. Consequently, equilibrium is an expression of fairness and stability in the market. Equilibrium demands adequate prices and all necessary resources be disposed to the services and goods production. It is to be noted, though, that market efficiency and equilibrium and efficiency have to be utilized with caution. Market equilibrium implies productive efficiency but does not exactly demonstrate it. An economic surplus is determined by fair market prices and efficient resource allocation. Price distortions, whatever the mechanisms, are distorting and lead to inefficacies that turn out to be costly to society. In other words, price distortions lead to inefficiencies. In order to take a closer look at it, Appendix A is to be considered. Panel (a) demonstrates how the economic surplus (ES) – a combination of producer and consumer surplus – is larger due to the market being in equilibrium. Additionally, P is a fairly accept
Introduction Kodak is a renowned global consumer electronic organization and in the recent past however, there were a number of factors that significantly influenced the Kodak Company that may be identified through a PESTEL analysis. PESTEL is an environmental scanning tool which stands for political, economic, sociological and technological, environmental and legal factors (Macher & Richman 2004,p. 39). Technological changes over time have enormously influenced the Kodak Company in terms of changing as well as altering the company’s organizational customs and structure. The biggest challenge faced by Kodak Company was the fact that in several markets, digital technologies had greatly advanced while Kodak looked on and did nothing. By the time the company attempted to catch up with these technologies, it suffered a major setback since it was too much at the rear to be able to catch up with the rapidly changing technology. In addition, the strategy used by the company in an effort to fit in the changing technological times was nevertheless, unsuccessful. This could be attributed to the fact that pursuing a joint venture with another organization caused conflicting situations, and Kodak could not match up easily with the already established performer. Consequently, the only viable option for Kodak was to split up the joint venture and work independent of each other. Discussion PESTEL Analysis As earlier stated, there were a number of factors that significantly influenced the Kodak Company’s organizational change, and these factors can be identified through a PESTEL Analysis. Beginning with the political factors, Kodak was greatly influenced by the political climate which caused considerable organizational change in the company. Globalization as part of political development had a vital role in influencing the performance of Kodak. It is worth noting that besides politics, there were other factors that contributed significantly to the performance of the company. (Cooke 2002. p. 23). Changes in the economic environment also played a significant role in the company. With the advent of globalization, there were more opportunities opening up in the global market, and this meant that more competitor companies infiltrated in the industry to compete for consumers. According to an analysis undertaken by Tan & Tiong (2005, p. 27), the number of consumers Kodak served, changed significantly as a result of the company’s social economic consideration. The increase in the amount of disposable income among the global population, as well as
Which arguments should be given more weight: those based on company policy, the employee handbook, and the labor agreement or mitigating factors given by the grievant and his witnesses? Explain. Speaking about the case of Jesse Stansky who was terminated for hitting one of his colleagues during their argument, it is necessary to take into consideration a wide range of arguments that were mentioned by both parties to the given conflict. In general, when it comes to examination, it is important to understand that arguments based on different documents that parties to a conflict come up with cannot be regarded as equally relevant to the case. To be more precise, in the case of Jesse Stansky, the following arguments are mentioned: Stansky’s inability to act in accordance with company policy, his behavior contradicting to the points from employee handbook and labor agreement, and alleviating circumstances mentioned by Jesse and those who came to support him. As it happens in some cases, arbitrators tend to take into consideration their own attitude towards the participants during making a decision. In order to do that, they evaluate verity of the evidence presented by witnesses based on their own criteria, and ask additional questions if they are not sure about the right way to interpret certain statements from documents. Nevertheless, official documents and rules presented by one of the parties have to be given more weight to due to the fact that they cannot be changed unknown to employees (Snell et al., 2017). In fact, I suppose labor agreement to be the most important for the case as the rules of conduct are formulated in it. What is more, arguments of Jesse’s witnesses do not seem to be deep enough as they are partially confuted by the statement on his previous offences made by the employer. Therefore, I suppose that arguments related to points listed in labor agreement should be given more weight during arbitration hearing. How might unprofessional conduct by defined? Explain. Another important question that needs to be considered during the discussion of the given case is related to interpretation of one of the statements made by employer who terminated employment contract with Jesse Stansky. Adducing an argument in order to justify the decision made after the conflict between Jesse and his colleague, the employer uses one of the provisions from the labor agreement where unprofessional conduct of an employee is mentioned as one of the reasons for disciplinary action. There is no doubt that certain elu
When a poet wants to speak, he speaks. When a poet wants to cry, he writes a poem. And it is the emotion of a man that we read. It is much like touching an open heart. It seems to me that in her poem What Lips My Lips Have Kissed, and Where, and Why Edna St. Vincent Millay is trying to convey the feeling of a dim sadness. What kind of sadness is that, I wonder. Is it about a loss? Or a painful memory? Or As I read the poem a strange vision of a lady lost or forgotten comes to my mind. She must be recollecting the sounds she used to hear, the colors she used to see, and the things she used to say. Or could it be that she just doesn’t want to remember all these things? Memories are a dangerous thing. They grab you and drag back to the past full of wistful regrets, and they will never let you go unless you tear yourself apart. “… but the rain Is full of ghosts tonight that tap and sigh.” (Kennedy 615) These ghosts fill one with fear of making the same mistake, of living further on, of making a decisive step. They touch your neck with their cold fingers and say that it could be better to stay in the past. It is safer, you know. It is not so scary, because you already know the mistakes you will make, and you won’t have to say good-bye. It is cozy as a pillow on the bed, inviting you to rest on it like a daydream believer. It gives you what people fear most and what they desire most. It gives dreams. But the past is tricky. It can steal your time into a miserable nothing, and leave you in the haunted memories. And that is where the circle of life spins in a deadlock. The poem is shot through with the tragic anticipation of the inevitable. But the author is calm and reserved, a little mournful, though. That is the very essence of the poem. The emotions have gone. The author depicts the soul empty as a barren field, and lonesome as a crow. It is clear that there is no way back and all the possible decisions and choices have been made: “I only know that summer sang in me/ A little while, that in me sings no more.” (Kennedy 615) I dare say that Edna St. Vincent Millay has expressed the very meaning of being lonely and forgotten. Every word and every comma is a hear-me-cry song that makes one think of whether a real misery is a pack of troubles or the absence of anything good, or bad, or fantastic, or terrible. What also struck me was that plural for the word “love”: “I cannot say what loves have come and gone…” (Kennedy 615). That peculiarity makes the very notion and sense of love smaller, more trifle-like, m
Introduction Drug Aware is a campaign run in Western Australia to combat cannabis abuse. Stakeholders treat the consequences cannabis abuse seriously, and therefore prioritize action to discourage people from the drug. The paper will examine Drug Aware in terms of conceptual framework, planning and evaluation structures that are in place, the compliance it exhibits with regard to conventional health promotional initiatives. These include the Ottawa Charter, and the extent to which the campaign’s objectives are representative of what is needed to solve the problem at hand, which is, preventing those who have not began using cannabis from doing so, enabling those who are using abandon it or reduce, and encourage those with problems because of its use to seek help. The paper will present these aspects of the Drug Aware campaign in Western Australia in relation to health promotion principles. It will also shed light on the strengths and weaknesses of the campaign, taking a step further to make suggestions for improvement. A conclusion summing up the issues covered in this appraisal will follow. Drug Aware: An Overview Drug Aware is a collaborative effort between the Government of Western Australia and the Western Australian Network of Alcohol and Other Drug Agencies (WANADA). Through message generation and dissemination, Drug Aware reaches out to people whose age range lies between 12 years and 29 years. At the end of the day, everyone in Western Australia regardless of age is a target of this campaign that is geared towards substance abuse. The Drug Aware achieves this by increasing knowledge about health risks of cannabis use among the at-risk age groups. There are media channels used by Drug Aware campaigners. Nearly all of them utilize message dissemination and they are as follows:  1. Using online message transmission methods such as Twitter, MySpace, YouTube, and other websites such as the Drug Aware campaign that has information pertaining to the Drug Aware initiative (Drug Aware, 2011)  2. Youth festivals  3. Outdoor advertising and cinema advertising  4. Radio and television outreach Besides dissemination of anti-cannabis use messages to create awareness, the Drug Aware campaign involves other cannabis-use prevention strategies. It provides information on treatment options available to cannabis users hooked to the habit. This approach is particularly important in rehabilitating cannabis users who are prone to cannabis dependence. The Drug Aware campaigns messages discourage the advertising of alcohol or tobacco near schools or learning institutions. The involvement of many media channels Drug Aware helps suppo
Introduction A false memory is a condition of giving twisted and biased information. Although a human memory is a powerful tool, it makes someone at some point to give incorrect information. This is caused by some factors like distracters. A good example that demonstrates a false memory is position of items in a list. People are able to recall items on a list depending on their position (Brainerd & Reyna, 2002). For instance, those items that appear last in an item are remembered the most (recency effect), those in the center are not remembered well and those that appeared first are remembered better (primary effect). This also applies to time. Recent events are recalled the best because of the recency effect. It is therefore important to conduct some experiments to see the differences between the correct memory and the false memory. A good memory is supposed to store information like past experiences, study materials and give accurate information when needed. However, this is not the case as memory tends to fade with time. There are factors that lead to false memory apart from time. They include misleading conceptions (distracters), great expectations, anxiety and depression. Misleading conceptions or distracters tend to occupies someone’s memory and hence there is no room for the information that is needed (Brainerd & Reyna, 2002). This is the same with great expectations. Great expectations dominate someone’s mind and all they think is what they are expecting. This is no difference with anxiety and depression. Someone is always anxious about something and this causes false memory. When someone is depressed, he/she becomes withdrawn and do not want to think. There are other factors that contribute to false memory. When someone is given incorrect information, misinterpreting the original information and being emotionally attached to something. When someone is given incorrect information, he/she perceives it’s the correct information and stores it in the memory. This is the same for misinterpreting original information. This report discusses in general experiments that were done on a different category of people. There is data that was collected of an individual, a group of people and global. This was done to determine if people exhibited the condition of a false memory (Pannu & Kaszniak, 2005). In an individual experiment, a woman was given some items to recall. She was supposed to present her information according to their position. After doing the experiment, those items that appeared last were presented correctly. She did not remember well those items that were in the center. Those that appeared first, she remembered well. Data was then collected for a group of people. Some volunteers were given words which they were shown for a short period like two seconds for every word. They were then given response answers with distracters to identify original words. There were independent variables and dependent variables. These will be explained later in the methodology section. This is the same for global. People at one time suffer fro
