Mobile self-service Web self-service is a category of online care (e-support) that permits clients and workers to access data and complete regular errands over the Internet. The point is that this does not necessitate any contact with a company’s representative. Web self-service is extensively utilized in client rapport management (CRM) and employee rapport management that is often abbreviated as ERM. When the care is bound to online worker communications, the process is identified as employee self-service. When it is related to clients on the Internet, it is termed client self-service (CSS). For the Sports R US workers and clients, the mobile self-service should make 24 hour-a-day sustenance available, and instant admittance to the necessary info without the obligatory downtime in the wait for an email reply or a phone call. In due course, the success of the Sports R US Web mobile self-service is contingent upon the value and amount of data accessible and the effortlessness with which it can be retrieved. Organizing the mobile self-service apps would help the Sports R US company in a number of ways. The most protuberant drive is the lower cost, as equated to phone or electronic mail service managed by the company’s employee. A more debatable inventive advantage of mobile self-service is the ability it offers the business to collect personal info about the individuals who use it. Tracking and breakdown applications may be exploited to generate a pseudonymous side view of the customer for study and targeted advertising resolutions. Target segment and customer needs This mobile self-service should target people of all ages across the United States. Moreover, with the creation of a hybrid mobile app, the company would want to try reaching out to the global market. The reason for this is the extensive product mix of the Sports R US company. There are several issues concerning the customers’ needs that should be addressed. The first and foremost is the design of the app. Even though it is not explicitly stated by the clients, they are usually paying the most attention to the looks of things (Blashki, 2013). This means that the exterior should appeal to their senses, and the choice of the colors should be smart and reasonable, evoking trust and devotion to the trademark in the customers. Another crucial topic of discussion is interaction design. Everything should be kept plain and simple, as the user interface is the second important asset after the app design. The navigation should be smooth and feature breadcrumbs (this, in fact, is optional, not obligatory) similar to those that are usually used in the Web apps. The customers want their experience to be excellent, so the page loading speed should exceed e
In Plato’s Phaedo , Socrates reflects the events from his life and reveals the most important ideas about the immortality of soul. In particular, the philosopher introduces the theory of separateness of immortal soul from the physical body by using a number of arguments. In particular, Socrates refers to the analysis of oppositions, introduces recollection theory, and explains the concept of affinity to prove that soul is immortal and it is separate from the physical body. From the perspective of the Opposites Arguments, if the physical body is mortal and physical, the soul is immortal and, therefore, it should not die. Because the body is subject to death in physical terms, the soul shapes its opposite. To explain the existence of the opposites, Plato provides the analogy of cold and fire. Thus, in case the cold cannot be destructed and exists separately from fire, the latter can be destroyed by cold. Although the fire is destroyed, the cold will still exist. Similar opposites can be created while exemplifying the charges of magnets. Despite the fact that cold and fire are related to each other in terms of temperature differences. They form the opposites and, nevertheless, they are linked to each other. At the same time, in case one object does not exist, the other object cannot exist. In this respect, can be said that fire can be identified as the absence of cold and, vice versa, cold personifies absence of fire. While identifying the analogy with body and soul, body cannot exist without soul and soul is the part of a body. To prove the immortality of soul, it is necessary to refer to the theory of recollection. According to this theory, an individual possesses non-empirical knowledge, which implies that he/she can know something about the surrounding world at birth, but not in the course of living. In other words, people possess knowledge that is obtained as we gain experience about the object and event around use. The theory, therefore, acknowledges the existence of previous knowledge about everything. The learning process is not associated with gaining knowledge from beyond, but recollecting what an individual is already aware of. The process of recollection is possible through proper questioning and, therefore, everything we know already can be regained. While considering these assumptions, it is possible to assert that soul existed long before we have been born. What is more importantly, the theory also proves that the soul is immortal and it is capable of repeated reincarnation. Knowledge, therefore, forms the essence of soul eternity. Each time the soul is incarnated in a new body, the knowledge could be forgotten because of the shock of birth. As a result, an individual perceives the recovery of knowledge as a learning process. The theory of recollection also justifies the ex
Theoretical framework: Background   * Early education is crucial for a child’s development and learning process.   * At this stage, the initial knowledge base is formed.   * To a significant extent, a child’s initial set of values and beliefs is developed.   * My framework: a combination of moral principles, spiritual beliefs, and theoretical pedagogical knowledge.   * Primary values: tolerance, respect for diversity, kindness, obedience, respect, equality, consideration for others, and niceness. The principles that I have developed as part of my theoretical framework are as follows:  1. The differences in children’s backgrounds have to be respected.  2. Children should be educated about socially acceptable behaviors.  3. Children have to understand that violence and revenge will not be tolerated.  4. Children need to understand that they are the equal members of the society, and their opinions are respected.  5. Children should be encouraged to help others. The differences in children’s backgrounds have to be respected   * This principle applies, first of all, to the teacher: classrooms should foster tolerance and understanding.   * Children need to be taught to understand that they cannot mock or otherwise mistreat others based on their background or other characteristics.   * The Bible cultivates respect for people regardless of their ethnicity and nationality and promotes respect and equality.   * This principle is especially important given the multiculturalist nature of the contemporary society. The teacher needs to eliminate any existing prejudices regarding races and ethnicities so they do not influence the teacher-child relationship and quality of the child’s education (Ewing & Taylor, 2009, p. 92). This includes cultural, social, ethnic, linguistic, appearance and other features. This principle gains particular relevance given the current rates of globalization as people encounter other individuals with varying backgrounds at an unprecedented rate (Morrison, 2015). Children should be educated about the differences between good and bad behavior in the society   * The foundations laid in early childhood will remain with the child for the rest of their life.   * The Bible clearly lays out the moral principles of good and bad behavior that an individual needs to follow to live a virtuous and righteous life.   * Understanding of the Bible’s premises will help the children learn and adopt social norms since many, if not most, of them are built on the biblical values.   * Following and obeying these rules and norms will help the child be more successful in life (Morrison, 2015).   * In practice, this can be achieved by introducing the children to certain role models who are associated with particular positive c
A leader is an individual who leads other people to the achievement of a certain goal. A leadership trait makes a leader to be trusted. Honesty is a trait that requires a leader to be sincere and have integrity. In handling mistakes, a leader should admit failure and allow corrections. Honesty should be displayed since in most cases people assume their leaders are dishonest. A leader should be forward looking by having visions for the future. The visions should be communicated to the team members. To have a clear vision for the future, a leader should plan and strategize on things needed so that no empty promise is given to the people. Competency doesn’t mean that a leader knows everything, but decisions made by the leaders should be satisfactory to the people. A leader should be reasonable and morally upright or emotionally stable on whatever he/she does. Intelligence helps a leader to solve challenging matters that others are not able. Intelligence is acquired through formal and informal learning. An intelligent leader has humility and always helps people to learn without showing off how smart he/she is. Inspiration on people helps them to act beyond a certain boundary and become motivated to achieve something. A leader should show people that everything is possible with a positive attitude. A leader should be courageous in everything he undertakes (Howel and Costley, 2006, p. 104). Leadership strategies make the leader to be thinking ahead, predictable and be able to solve any issues that arise. Time management is one of effective strategy a leader should have. Time consciousness makes a leader to focus on important things and do them on time. Ability for a leader to measure and improve productivity is important for goal success. To improve productivity, a leader should have information on what the team members can contribute and issues preventing them from giving good results. Work and personal life balance strategy is important for a leader. Staff should get a balance between the private time and work time without being overworked because it is not healthy for goals achievement. For problem solving strategy, a leader should create a team that will solve problems. To solve any problem in the right way, a leader should create a solution oriented question for the problem. Leaders sho
Introduction Black Artist Difficulty of Acceptance Being an artist means facing the challenges of creating original work and finding those who would admire it. Famous authors have their names and reputation working for them, while new emerging ones struggle to claim their spot in the vast field of creativity. The difficulties become even more apparent when not just one individual but a whole race is searching for its identity in American literature, which black authors and artists had to do for centuries. Du Bois describes how out-of-place African American descendants feel in the U.S. as they long to be a part of the new society but feel the need to keep their originality and traditions. On the one side, they want to become dedicated citizens of America. On the other side, their views on art, nature, and family values are significantly different from those of white people. Du Bois uses an example of visiting a lake: he and the locals prefer quiet observation while white American tourists turn it into a noisy social event. As he describes it, the visitors are “not evil but wrong” (Du Bois 981). He urges the black artists to push forward, realizes themselves, and teach the U.S. about the original natural beauty that stays alive in each one of them. Unfortunately, many African Americans choose not to concentrate on their roots in an attempt to resemble the rich white people. Hurston writes about the problems and stereotypes black artists have to face as they try to establish their spot in the white American’s World. She points at the varieties of beauty that are infinite and that society needs to accept the “new appreciation” for African art (Hurston 1162). It is not inferior because a man of color has created it, but unique in its presentation. Once the black people achieve middle-class status, some of them start to propagate the superiority of the white artworks, which is unfortunate and discouraging to the creative representatives of their race. It would not be enough to write a novel, paint a picture, or sing a jazz song about the African descendants. The audience has to be open and intelligent enough to see its beauty, truth, and goodness after the years of discriminatory upbringing. Du Bois states that “until the art of the
The article was authored by Emily Primeaux and includes an interview with a former Enron CFO (Andrew Fastow) regarding the collapse of Enron due to fraudulent accounting practices. Enron collapsed nearly 15 years ago because of the unethical decisions made by its C-suite executives. The organization’s toxic corporate culture encouraged unethical decisions that led to the disintegration of the firm and the conviction of top executives. The decisions made by top management incentivized employees to act unethically in order to mislead the world regarding the company’s finances. Consequences of the unethical decisions included a $40 billion loss in stock market value, collapse of the company’s accounting firm (Arthur Andersen), and massive loss of jobs. Fastow’s role in the company’s descent involved creating a system that allowed Enron to get access to capital in order to make financing less costly. The system allowed the exclusion of debts from the balance sheets in order to misrepresent Enron’s poor financial situation. The company lied about its income, equity value, losses, and debts. Enron’s tough financial situation became evident in 2001 after the CEO (Kenneth Lay) declined to issue equity, thus raising suspicion. The company was relegated to junk status and that marked the beginning of its end. Employees were among the victims of the saga as they lost jobs and had their pension funds wiped out. The firm’s top executives were arrested and sentenced to prison on different counts of fraud. Fastow was sentenced to six years and Skilling received 24 years and four months. Lay did not live to serve his sentence. Fastow tells the author how he was hired by Enron as a low-level employee and how he was promoted to CFO within seven years. He was promoted because of his ability to perform structured financing and manipulate financial statements. He argues that the aggregation of the innumerable deals he made resulted in the company’s collapse. His ability to find loopholes in financial statements earned him frequent salary increments and promotions. He tolerated unethical accounting practices because they benefited the company in several ways including transferring risk, preserving tax credits, and lowering the cost of financing. At first, they did deals to benefit the company economically. However, as years went by, they did the deals to create a misleading image of the company’s financial performance. Many of the deals were financially correct but amounted to fraud because of the intent to alter financial statements. The corporate culture of Enron was toxic because it incentivized people to make decisions that favored the company’s financial reporting over the long-term value the decisions would create. Empl
Introduction Across the world, homicide has become commonplace; something which is talked about, seen in movies, daily news, and read in books. While the Oxford English Dictionary defines it as the action of killing a fellow human being by another person, it states that it can be both lawful or unlawful (Gilliver, 2016). Further, it expounds by stating that such an occurrence can be deemed to be a homicide if an individual’s negligence and other decisions lead to the death of a person. Hunt & Rutledge (2016) define it as a crime committed by people which leads to the death of others. They divide it into 3 groups comprising homicide, first and second-degree murder, and manslaughter. In addition, manslaughter is sub-divided into three types; vehicular, voluntary, and involuntary. This paper delves into the aforementioned topic by analyzing homicide and its various components as highlighted through various examples of cases of people versus plaintiffs in the California Criminal Law Concepts. The Categories of Homicide There are various categories of homicides as highlighted by various writers. Commenting on the topic, Leonetti (2020) asserts that in the new criminal law, murder has become synonymous with homicide. He further expounds that it is divided into murder comprising of the first and second degree, justifiable homicide, and manslaughter. First-degree murder involves the intentional killing of a person by an individual. It does not only require forethought or prior planning but also involves malice or evil intent (Leonetti, 2020). Therefore, such acts are considered the most heinous crimes which are severely punishable through conviction which includes the death penalty or life imprisonment. According to Justia Law (2016), in California, the penal code clarifies a murder into two categories comprising of the first degree which is distinguished through the following 3 ways. It can be classified as a first degree if it is a willful, premeditated, and deliberate killing. The second degree is associated with the use of explosives, mass destruction weapons, poison, ammunition, ambush, or torture. Consequently, the above crimes are punishable by law, and the offenders can be convicted after proven guilty. On the other hand, second-degree murder involves cases when an individual had prior intentions to kill another person but did not have adequate time to plan the killing. This is referred to as a crime of passion, especially in instances when an enraged lover kills their partner who is in an illicit affair with another person. Besides, death resulting from negligence and recklessness by an individual is considered second-degree murder. In many cases, killing is not intended, although the death of others is foreseeable (Justia Law, 2016). For example, when an individual drives into a crowd or a group of people, thus injuring and killing them. Also, robbery is another example; when the victim does not comply with the robber’s com
Introduction In the world today, the need to use renewable sources of energy has risen drastically. Wind energy has been observed to be the best producer of renewable energy. A device used to trap energy from the wind is known as a wind turbine. The wind turbine has many important parts that enhance its performance, for example, the blades. Blades are the most significant piece of the wind turbine; they are the source of power that propels the generator (Paraschivoiu 57). Blades rely on the speed of the wind to move. However, the efficiency of the blades can be improved by shaping them using an airfoil design; this is important especially for areas with low wind speed. Nature of the wind turbine blade airfoil design and related fields The turbine intermingles with the wind through the blades. Aerodynamic effectiveness is the most significant feature of wind turbines, which depends on the shape of the airfoils making the blades. The blades apply aerodynamics to get the wind energy, which is transformed into electricity. The airfoil design of the blades affects the aerodynamic pressure on the blades. Airfoil design shows varying features from the top of the blade to the bottom while holding the structural needs of the blade. They noticeably raise the energy output of the wind turbine (Petersen 115). In the inverse design, the airfoil exterior flow is set at particular working conditions and a shape is designed that will produce the surface conditions. This design has inadequate abilities because there is only one target pressure allocation at a single established point. However, the direct design founded on numerical optimization, has many targets for pressure distribution. Moreover, it has diverse designs where many design constraints can work at the same time. The feature of a perfect airfoil blade relies mainly on the particular target rotor. The lift-drag fraction should be great for all angles of attack beneath maximum lift to achieve considerable energy output and for excellent off-design features. The design direction of attack should be near maximum lift for airfoils applied on the exterior of the blades to decrease blade area. The maximum lift should be great for thick airfoils applied on the inside section of the
Introduction New research puts forward the assumption that as for patients who have gone through a cancer of breast, and for other women, excessive enthusiasm healthy diets cannot increase chances of the person of avoidance of repeated disease by a cancer. Results of research under the name “the Healthy life and a feed of women – randomized research” have shown that diets with the high maintenance of fruit and vegetables actually do not reduce the risk of repeated disease by a cancer of breast. The information in noted clause is only a part of results of the researches spent in the field of the analysis of influence of a diet on
Motivational Interviewing for Alcohol Abusers Motivational interviewing is a method used by psychologists to help the client change behavior. It mainly involves client-centered counseling sessions. The aim of these sessions is to resolve the internal conflict within the clients in order to assist in the making of informed decisions by these individuals concerning their behavior. Previous research suggests that motivational interviewing may be used to achieve health behavioral change among elderly persons (cooper, 2012). Psychologists may use motivational interviewing during the feedback session. This may be useful to help alcohol abusers to recognize some of the symptoms related to alcohol abuse and the connection with their current health (mental, medical, and social). When dealing with an elderly person involved in alcohol abuse, a therapist may use one of the modifications of motivational interviewing. This is whereby the therapists point out the consequences of alcohol abuse that are related to the individual’s age. It has been determined that older persons fail to recognize the harmful effects of alcohol abuse. Therefore, despite the fact that motivational interviewing does not involve education, it is vital to educate the elderly population in order to foster an understanding of the connection between alcohol abuse and the health issues (and other difficulties) they face. Murphy, Chen, Naar-King, and Parsons (2012) studied the effectiveness of motivational interviewing in fostering behavioral change among HIV positive persons (youth) who abused alcohol and marijuana. This study was relevant since HIV-positive individuals usually abused alcohol and marijuana and this only made them vulnerable to high-risk sexual
