Background: The Infamous Case of O. J. Simpson Case Details The O. J. Simpson murder case is one of the most high-profile trials in history. Until this day, this case continues to captivate the attention of people from all around the world. O. J. Simpson, a former NFL player, was tried on two counts of murder for the deaths of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman. Unfortunately, Simpson was announced not guilty on both of these crimes on October 3, 1995 (Velasquez, 2017). This case continues to be one of the most controversial trials and emphasizes on the United States’ flawed system. Thesis Statement Despite the verdict, O. J. Simpson is, in fact, guilty because of the mounting forensic evidence, his suspicious behavior, and the fact that he has the motive. Reasons for the Assumptions: When Everything Points to One Man When considering the evidence that has been collected for the further analysis, one must admit that most of it pointed to the significant possibility of O. J. Simpson being the murderer. For example, the fact that the DNA sample taken from the accused matched the one that was found at the crime scene shows that there is a noticeable connection between O. J. and the murder. Because of the coincidence between the DNA sample and the DNA that was located where Nicole was murdered, a closer inspection of the information related to O. J. Simpson and the possibility of him assaulting Nicole should have taken place (“Five things that suggest O. J. Simpson killed his wife,” 2011). The vast range of motives that O. J. had for murdering his wife should also be regarded as rather solid evidence against him. Indeed, O. J. Simpson has been known for his outbursts of violence, especially toward his wife (Boyette, 2015). Because of his inability to control his jealousy and, thus, his regular temper tantrums serve as the indication of him developing even more bitter feelings toward Nicole and, thus, succumbing to his desire to vent his negative feelings in an aggressive and violent way. The fact that Nicole was murdered brutally shows that she must have been killed in a fit of rage, which is quite characteristic of O. J. Simpson given the lack of control over his emotions (Boyette, 2015). Counterargument: Acknowledging the Controversy As stressed above, the lack of definitive information that would have proven O. J. Simpson’s guilt is the primary characteristic of the case. Therefore, it could be argued that the connection between O. J. Simpson’s actions and his involvement in the case is somewhat tenuous. Indeed, there is no direct evidence that would have allowed proving his guilt and, thus, solving the case. Instead, the information available to the jury only allowed them to identify the possibility of O. J. Simpson
Executive Summary Vision The vision of the Tamwal Mobile Food Truck business is to be the leading venture in the mobile food service sector within Dubai and beyond. Mission The current mobile food service sector is underdeveloped meaning that the proposed Tamwal Mobile Food Truck business will be interested in growing the mobile food service through a fleet of three trucks at the beginning of the business and expanding to as many trucks as possible by the end of the third year. Objectives/Goals Business objectives and goals are the determinants of the expectation of the output of the marketing activities carried out by a business. The idea of mobile food trucks is formulated with a core objective of gaining 15% market share in the coming 3 years. The Tamwal Mobile Food Truck will be focusing on achieving the loyalty of customers by providing them with an exciting experience of mobile food services to clients as a new type of business. The business aims at gaining a good share of the market after the first launch of the service, to the remotely located customers in Dubai and beyond. Scope The scope of the business is to deliver food services through trucks to individual and corporate customers within the city of Dubai and beyond. Motivation for Entrepreneurship There are very minimal businesses that offer mobile food services despite the high number of residents of Dubai who work in the field. The proposed Tamwal Mobile Food Truck business will benefit from this opportunity by specializing in the delivery of mobile food services to this market segment. Product and Services The Tamwal Mobile Food Truck will offer food services such as break first, main meals, and dinners for clients who do not have time to visit eateries within the city of Dubai. Environmental Analysis Social Heritage and culture are valued by the targeted market in the city of Dubai. The United Arab Emirates is a diverse, multi-ethnic, and multicultural society, which makes it a perfect market for mobile food service kiosks. High rates of obesity and diabetes in the UAE mean that demand for healthy fast food is on the rise. Besides, Urdu, Arabic, English, and Hindi languages are spoken in the UAE (Blythe, 2006). This makes it easier to tailor a marketing language to fit this market. Considerin

Introduction Realism is one of the most important writing styles that entails bringing out characters in literary works as close to human beings as possible in terms of their character as well as behavior in day to day life. This method has been applied by several great writers, such as Homer, among them. Major themes in The Iliad by Homer spun around Achilles who is considered as the greatest fighter and warrior in the Achaean army. Analysis The author uses Achilles as a bold character for building all the major themes in the poem; hence he is the most realistic character in The Iliad. From the text, Achilles is presented as a character with a lot of rage and anger, a pattern of behavior common for many people in the real world. As Agamemnon, commander-in-chief of the Achaean Army exchanged harsh words with Achilles, the king declared to take Breseis who was Achilles’ prize away. The King’s words triggered Achilles’ anger, and the warrior thought, “Should he draw out the sharp sword on his thigh, incite the crowd, kill Atreus’ son, or suppress his rage, control his fury? As he argued in his mind and heart, he slid his huge sword part way from its sheath” (Homer 210). However, due to the intervention of Athena who had to descend from heaven to make Achilles calm down from his rage, the fight did not happen. The author brings out Achilles’ rage so clearly because he got angry because of Agamemnon’s words to a point where he went for his sword, ready for a fight. Anger is a negative human emotion, and many people when they are angry start fighting to deal shortly with the person who made them angry. As the author describes the anger of Achilles, the character becomes more real for it is common that people engage in fights as a way to express their anger. A very important part of humanity is love, which is an emotion of strong affection and personal attachment. Everyone who loves feels good if he/she is loved in return. Love is a part of survival instinct as a means to bring people together, hence promoting the continuation of human species. Achilles’ realistic nature as a character is evident when the author shows how much he loved the girl, Breseis. King Agamemnon sent his men to Achilles’ hut to bring him Breseis; as well he offered Achilles to give the girl himself (Homer 360). Achilles chose the send option, he led Breseis out of the hut and gave her to the king’s messengers, but he did so against his will. And after that, he sat by the shore and stared at the sea with his eyes full of tears (Homer 350). The fact
Findings Nowadays, multiple individuals in the United States develop mental disorders, such as post-traumatic stress disorder, in response to traumatic events, including participation in military conflicts, accidents, or sexual and physical violence. According to the National Comorbidity Survey Replication, which is a general population survey, around 5.7% of adult Americans face increased risks of developing PTSD after exposure to traumatic events (Kessler, 2018). Such risks are specifically high for the survivors of kidnapping, rape, and intimate partner violence (Kessler, 2018). Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy (EMDR) belongs to the number of relatively recent approaches to treatment that reduce the distressing symptoms of PTSD in patients. The approach has been found rather effective in general PTSD populations in the previously conducted randomized controlled trials, which is a common and reliable study design (Jowett et al., 2016; Jacobsen, 2016). However, capitalizing on the wave of success, diverse institutions may apply EMDR to treat any patient with PTSD without giving proper consideration to limitations and research gaps surrounding its use in intellectually disabled adults. Limitations The main limitation of the present study is that it is based on information from methodologically diverse sources. Not all of the research articles testing EMDR in PTSD patients with disabilities document the features of EMDR sessions in a consistent manner (Jowett et al., 2016). Moreover, high-quality studies on EMDR in populations with PTSD and IDs are still scarce (Karatzias et al., 2019). The existing experimental studies greatly vary in terms of sample size. Because of that, the provided recommendations mainly point to the remaining research gaps. Use and Application of Findings The use and application of findings that shed light on current research gaps related to the effectiveness of EMDR in PTSD patients with IDs may contribute to improvements in this population’s quality of life and treatment outcomes. They can do so by attracting the attention of the scientific community to the sources of potential adverse effects of EMDR that disproportionately affect PTSD patients with generalized neurodevelopmental disorders. To start with, it is supposed that the presence of IDs may contribute to the risks of developing PTSD and symptoms’ severity in those exposed to traumatic events (Jowett et al., 2016). In general, eight-phase EMDR sessions using standard protocols for adults show relatively good results in intellectually disabled patients with PTSD by causing a 20% increase in the number of diagnosis-free participants twelve weeks after treatment (Karatzias et al., 2019). In spite of potential extra challenges resulting from the overlapping of
Introduction It is a self-evident proposition to state that changes in technology create changes in artworks by opening up new processes for artistic production and altering or rendering obsolete, old ones. The invention of the phonograph record at the end of the nineteenth century, for instance, radically and irrevocably changed the nature of the musical performance. For the first time, individual performance of music could be reproduced and transmitted to a mass audience. Before this development, the only means by which a musical composition could be transmitted was notation. In other words, a performance itself could not be memorialized, only the composer’s written instructions on how to reconstruct that performance appears to be helpful in this case. One had no longer to be in a cathedral or a concert hall to hear a symphony or chorale piece performance. A personal living room could be transformed into a concert hall through the technology of the phonograph. The existence of mechanical reproduction of performances means that the performance is no longer tied to a particular historical incidence. It is rather made mobile in time as well as in space. What is the predicted future development in music recording studios? To answered this question, this paper moves from the initial stages of developing studio recording to the wider creative urban environment in which they are situated, to their more widely geographically dispersed networks of creativity. The paper argues that recording studios are relational, creative, social and economic, therefore, they play a central role in sociality and active networking in project-based working in the re
Why sellers should develop unsolicited proposals In the business world, business proposals are essential because they are used by sellers to provide specific product information and prices to prospective buyers (Guffey and Loewy 12). A business proposal is a key step in a lengthy process that results in sales of products of a firm (Freed, Romano, and Freed 15). A seller may use unsolicited proposals to create awareness of its products in buyers who could purchase its products. In fact, it is a business document that could be used to show how an organization scans business environments to identify business needs. For example, a firm could analyze the processes in a learning institution and understand that they are slow because of the limited use of management information systems. Thus, it could write an unsolicited business proposal to the management of the institution requesting it to purchase a management information system that could offer certain advantages to the management. Main components of unsolicited proposals Business entities focus on providing excellent products to their customers so that they could have exemplary financial results. Therefore, it could be important for sellers to ensure that they develop unsolicited proposals that contain five important components. First, an unsolicited proposal should demonstrate that a firm understands a client’s needs. This component is important because products from a seller should be geared toward meeting customer needs. Clients should be able to identify new and essential reasons why the issue addressed by a proposal should be tackled by a particular product or service. Thus, developers of unsolicited proposals should spend a considerable amount of time addressing this component (Freed et al. 45). Second, unsolicited business proposals should show that a seller has solved similar problems encountered by other firms in the past by offering its products or services. This is particularly important because firms always want to deal with business organizations that are characterized by evidence-based performances. Thus, business proposals should not be sensational and should be honest (Freed et al. 47). Third, unsolicited proposals should not focus too much on describing a seller. In fact, a proposal should say what customers say about a seller. For example, it could say, “our customers describe us as reliable and punctual.” Prospective buyers could give such statements much weight because they are regarded as third party references (Freed et al. 49). Fourth, an unsolicited proposal should correlate a seller’s pricing with the value that a buyer could get from a certain product or service. Thus, this component should convince a prospective buyer that the proposed product or service could solve its problem and help it to improve performance. For example, a firm could be incurring a loss of about $500,000 annually due to the inefficiency of production processes. Thus, a proposed solution should help the firm to avoid making a loss and start making profits (Freed et al. 56). Fifth, it is important for unsolicited proposals to have clear text that reflects
Introduction The article, titled “How to Keep Morale High When Business Is Down”, written by Adriana Loeff was published in Forbes magazine. The article was published on 16 th 2008. As the article demonstrates, the article talks about the motivation techniques that should be and can be employed to keep employees happy when there is looming fear of stagnation in business. Clearly this deals with non-pecuniary motivation techniques in employee relationship management. The area of Human Resource Management that the article concentrates upon is Employee Relations. The article describes the current situation of employee relationship management at the time of economic recession. The article exemplifies the use of pecuniary means used by Wall Street giants being inadequate means to motivate employees. As recession threatens of looming mass layoffs it has become extremely difficult to attract talent and keep them motivated to produce the desired result. Main body The article relates that even though Wall Street has the legend of hiring the best brains talent pool and providing them with exorbitant bonuses, perks, and salaries as the recession makes profitability low. Further promotions too are no longer available to motivate these employees. The article tries to gauge what strategies should be taken during this time of recessionary pressure. During the initial days of recession, a study of employee motivation and satisfaction level in the Wall Street big houses like the Merrill Lynch, Lehman Brothers, Credit Suisse, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, and Moody’s was conducted among the senior executives of the company. The study showed that there was an excessive level of disappointment and anxiety among them. The article states that they these senior executives were “angry, anxious and deeply stressed.” The study also found that there was a downfall in the employees’ loyalty, engagement and trust during the beginning year of recession. The survey showed that more than 60 percent of the participants were considering switching their jobs and 25 percent of the participants were actually looking for an alternative option actively. The article suggests that the only option of keeping employees and make them work in such stressful times is to make them like their work. The idea is to induce a sense of empowerment. Conducting senior executives meetings and informing the employees about the company’s current situation is a way to handle panic of a recessionary business. The trick is to let the employees know about the problems before the media does. This will keep them motivated and informed and avoid panic of the unknown debacle. Insecurity of employees is common when there are incidents of massive lay-offs. This can be avoided if the company conveys to the employees that there are more jobs to be done due to the lay-offs. This would help in maintaining their motivation level and keep away the fear of inclusion
Introduction The purpose of this assignment is to evaluate on a process which I do on dairy bases and design an appropriate flowchart that depicts the activities involved in the process. The process which I am considering is the process of waking up until I live the house to the office. This is a daily routine for the five working days of the week as I need to wake up and prepare for the day. Repetitive activities are much each to manage (Madison, 2005). The process is repetitive as all the tasks which I do in each morning are similar form Monday to Friday. Use of Flow chart I will use the flow chart to elaborate the process for easy understanding and comparison on the performance of the same process in the different weeks which I recorded my performance on the process. The flow chart will be easy to elaborate and is designed using the appropriate tools which makes it much easy to understand it. It will contain comments on all the factors which affect the process in any way. Metrics The process shall be measures by use of a metric and in the most appropriate metrics to be used is time which is being presented in the number of minutes each activity takes which eventually determine the entire duration which it takes me to complete the waking up process for each of the day of the week. Process activities The process commences by waking up which is done by use of an alarm which I set before I get to bed. The timing of the alarm mainly depend on the activities of the following day which determines on the time when I should wake up. This is the most difficult decision to make on whether to get out of bed despite of the time when I went to sleep. Therefore in most cases I Snooze the alarm twice at an interval of 5 minutes hence it takes me 10 minutes since the first alarm until I get out of bed. After I have successfully woken up I first take a shower which mainly takes 15 minutes this process is not interfered as such as I am able to consistently bath within 15 minutes. Once I am through with bathing I do iron my cloths but before I Iron them I will have to decide on the cloths which I will wear. This is the most challenging process as there are many conditions which need to be evaluated before the appropriate choice is done. Therefore, I do decide on the cloth to wear depending on the weather or activities of the day, this is the process which sometime takes much longer time especially if most of the cloths are clean as I will have many options to select from. After successful collection on the appropriate clothing of the day I usually iron the cloths, brush my shoes and I wear them once I have taken my breakfast. Success of processes is mostly dependent on how activities relate to each other (Kohlbacher, 2010)
