Interior design is a multidimensional profession that entails the application of creative and technical skills in an interior space to create an effective environment that can accommodate a range of human activities (National Council for Interior Design Qualification, 2004). These undertakings are not only meant to be of visual value, but are also meant to transform the space such that it can create some feeling and also reflect the culture of the occupants. An interior designer is one who carries out such activities. Interior design can include activities such as flooring, windows, doors, walls, lighting, furniture, and many other design aspects (Lees-Maffei, 2008). Ultimately, the aim of an interior designer is largely to make an interior space that is both comfortable and has aesthetic aspects to the occupiers, whether they are residents or occasional visitors. The process of interior design follows “a systematic and coordinated methodology, including research, analysis, and integration of knowledge into the creative process, whereby the needs and resources of the client are satisfied to produce an interior space that fulfills the project goals” (National Council for Interior Design Qualification, 2004). History of Interior Design Historians do not have a definite answer regarding the origin of this profession, however, ancient Egyptians are often recognized as its founders (Interior Design School, 2012). The Romans and Greeks inherited the art of interior design from the Egyptians as seen through their development of public buildings with dome-shaped roofs. From this era of magnificence and ornamentation, there was a wild rush to austerity buoyed by frequent wars in Mediaeval Europe and the rise of the Christian church (Lees-Maffei, 2008). In the early 1200s, the now famous Gothic technique was widely used and became known for its use of open rooms and windows to capture adequate light from the sun to light up the rooms. Between 1600 and 1800, the French Renaissance created a renewed attention to art and beauty in interior design and by the early 19 th century, a movement had also begun in major European nations, this movement focused on more ingenuity and diversity in interior design (Interior Art Design, 2012). By the 20 th century, the increasing presence of home equipment resulted in a new challenge for interior designers as they now had to “plan spaces not only for aesthetic purposes, but also for functionality” (Lees-Maffei, 2008). Interior Decorating Interior decorating, on the other hand, involves applying decorations and furnishings in interior spaces such as offices, homes, or public spaces. It involves all facets of lighting, color, paint, furniture arrangement, and flooring choice and fixation, among other fittings and decorations (National Council for Interior Design Qualifica
The development of ubiquitous computing and media-rich environments is likely to change communication at workplaces greatly. The world is moving from desktop computers into wireless communication devices that can access the internet anywhere. Additionally, the creation of social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter has made communication easier. In the next five years, this will downsize and re-engineer businesses and industries to adopt new communication strategies. For instance, we expect a switch from print media to a less paper environment due to emerging technologies. All over the world, people execute their roles by online means. Every organization will have its website for easier and fast communication. If the trend continues, consumers will now start ordering and paying for goods using a Visa or a MasterCard. With the combination of technology, most workplaces will witness a change in demographics due to issues related to multiculturalism and diversity. Thus, every organization will enact its strategy and new modes of operation (Gordon, 1998, pp.1-3). Reference List Gordon, G. (1998). Corporate communication: where do we stand? Web.
People’s culture comprises their traditions, values, customs, and beliefs and how they interact within their community. The Lenape culture is one of the most significant one in the development of New Jersey (Kraft). The ancient Lenape culture was rich and had a significant impact on modern-day lives. The culture of the Lenape people has been preserved in many ways through various social traditions, but there is a need to incorporate it into the mainstream traditions to promote its understanding among generations. Many aspects of Lenape culture are prevalent in present-day lives, such as ceremonies, dances, and stories, for example, marks on raccoons’ faces and when squirrels were giant. Other aspects of Lenape culture that are still part of our daily lives include leisure activities, such as dancing and playing. The Lenape Indian football, Pahsaheman, people played in groups based on gender, males against females (Kraft). However, men only used their feet to pass and kick the ball, but women would use both their feet and hands. This shows the Lenape people’s cultural diversity and underscores the need to consolidate it into modern-day society to understand it better. The Lenape Culture can be incorporated into making us understand Sussex County or New Jersey. For example, museums could be established, and ancient materials found on major rivers like Delaware, Raritan, Paulinskill, among others, be preserved (Kraft). Additionally, the Lenape Waterloo Village can be preserved to help future generations understand and learn more about it. Moreover, more archive websites should be created to preserve the rich history and culture of the Lenape people. These efforts can help preserve Lenape culture and enable present and future generations to understand Sussex County and New Jersey better. In conclusion, even though the Lenape people existed a long time ago, their culture and archaeological remains show a rich heritage in tradition and culture. Therefore, they have left a mark not only in Sussex County but also in their American history, which is very informative and is still historically significant. Most of the culture’s elements are still in the present-day lives, and there is a need to include those traditions in the current society to promote and preserve the culture.

List of Questions The following work is devoted to the discussion of questions related to the agreement between Apple Inc. and the licensee (“Apple Inc.,” 2018).  1. Who are the parties to this Agreement?  2. Can the party licensing the software transfer it to someone else?  3. Read Section 2.3 – Google these terms. What does this Section mean?  4. What is the period for this Agreement?  5. Read Section 10 and Google “indemnity” – what do you think this Section means?  6. Can the Licensee “assign” this Agreement? What does this mean?  7. What is the Governing Law for this Agreement?  8. How can Apple terminate this Agreement? Answers to the Questions The parties to the agreement under consideration are the world-famous Apple Inc. and the Software licensing department that handles the issuance of licenses. The latter party has the right to transfer the agreement to another participant, but it should be a named-user licensee for such a procedure to take place. Section 2.3 clarifies that the participant in the license contract agrees with the terms of the paper under discussion comprehensively and admits that no manipulation with the software will be conducted. It means that the sale of this product (completely or partially), the rebuilding of the system, and compilation are prohibited under the terms of the contract. The licensee signs the agreement that the software of Apple Inc. is the product that cannot be reproduced in other conditions than the original ones. The time for implementing the provisions of this agreement and introducing all the changes is one year. However, as soon as the contract expires, the agreement is automatically renewed for the same term. At the same time, there are conditions under which the operation of the contract may be interrupted, for instance, one of the parties wants to make changes or terminate the cooperation. Indemnity implies the obligation that is imposed on the licensee in case of non-compliance with the security conditions and other requirements provided by the agreement since cybercrimes are frequent today (“UAE consumers,” 2018). In this case, Apple is obliged to inform the other party about potential losses and serious expenses to prevent difficulties in time and overcome the challenges encountered together with the contractual partner. An opportunity to assign this agreement is possible, and in this case, it implies the right of admission when heirs or other trustees receive the assets of the company after the death of official representatives. Participants who accept this agreement are to be presented to new contractors, and witnesses should be present at the signing. All the risks and consequences of work need to be reported. The appeal of the agreement is permissible only within the state of California, and all administrative procedures are required to be conducted here. Also, the parties to the agreement may give their consent to conduct legal proceedings in federal courts. It is important to note that Apple has the right to termi
Managing funds in essential for any college student since the sources of funds are limited. Most college students depend on their parents’ financial assistance and student loan to cover their expenses in school. The following discussion analyzes various techniques that a college student can use to save money. Budget A budget is one of the methods that a college student can use to save money. A college student can plan for his or her expenditure by establishing what he or she needs for a particular period. A budget is useful since it prevents wastage of money on unnecessary or unplanned activities (Baird 109). One should observe the budget limits by developing financial management discipline. The discipline enables one to use what he or she has planned only. In the budget, one should indicate how much to save and the means of saving the money (Higgins 87). Keeping money in the room is not safe since it can be stolen and one may be tempted to use it. Hence, it is advisable to deposit the money in a bank where it is safer and less vulnerable to wastage. A student can also deposit his or her money in a fixed deposit account if he or she has a lot of money. A fixed deposit account enables one to access the funds deposited over a specific period set by the bank agreement signed (Creager 115). This is an effective money saving method since it prevents wastage. Partying and Tours The second strategy of saving money is reducing or avoiding school parties or events that encourage students to spend money. Almost every Friday there is a party at school, which affect students’ ability to save. One can decide to attend a specific number of parties per semester if he or she cannot do without the parties. This will limit the money spent partying at school and encourage saving (Creager 37). Due to young age and the need to belong to a certain age set, most students find themselves engaging in parties and school tours with their friends, which consumes a lot of their money (Higgins 125). They fail to recognize this due to their collective thinking that they are together in life. Shopping Techniques The third method that college students can save money is by ensuring that they shop in areas where the price is low. Shopping is a necessity for any student since they have to buy personal items and other commodities such as food. College students should ensure that they shop in places where the price is low compared to other places near the school (Baird 76). Shopping is one of the major expenses for students since they have to buy commodities to sustain them in school. When shopping one should avoid impulse buying to reduce the money spent. Most of the shops or shopping malls display their goods to encourage impulse buying from the consumers (Higgins 44). This can be avoided by developing a shopping list before visiting the shopping malls
Slavery is doubtlessly a monstrous blight on the history of the United States. Even though the institution of slavery has been successfully destroyed, it is still echoing in the modern society, with the social problems such as racial discrimination and racial profiling still being in existence (Stepto 189). Therefore, deconstructing the phenomenon of slavery is an essential step on the way to understanding how it defines the contemporary attitudes toward African American people, how relationships within a diverse community are structured, what changes multicultural communication has undergone so far, etc. In her novel “Kindred,” Octavia E. Butler creates a fusion of history and science fiction, thus, creating a very grim and dark environment in which the societal effects of slavery are explored. While “Kindred” makes it abundantly clear that forgetting the grave mistakes made in the past would be wrong, it also insists that the specified memory should be used for remedying the evil that has been done to the African American community. Although the novel ends with a respectively positive ending, Dana having escaped from the clutches of the plantation owner, the final image of her hand being caught in the wall where he grabbed it symbolizes the dark legacy of slavery and the choice that the lad character makes between slavery and freedom. Because of the problematic issues that it renders, “Kindred” remains one of the most influential novels of its time. Butler focuses on the changes that can be observed in the relationships between the oppressed population and the oppressors. The author creates a surreal environment in which the dynamics of the social strain is explored by shifting from the era of slavery to the realm of the 1970s. Thus, the author draws correlations between the contemporary environment and the specified time slot. However, it could also be argued that, by setting a futuristic and science-fiction-oriented tone to her novel, Butler also implies the dynamic between current and future relationships. Thus, the readers are able to locate the effects that the era of slavery and the following decades of segregation have had on the modern interactions between African Americans and White Americans. Thus, the foundation for building a proper understanding of the challenges that need to be overcome in order to encourage future compromise can be built. Butler’s novel sends a very powerful message about the weight of social injustice that was blown out of its proportions at a certain point in history. Forgetting that the specified situation has ever happened will mean denying decades of pain experienced by African American people, the trials and tribulations that they had to experience, and the challenges that they face nowadays due to their painful legacy (O’Neil 59). Therefore, “Kindred” remains one of the few novels that allow understanding the emotional core of the relationships between African Americans and White Americans and specify the effects that the choice between slavery and freedom has had on the modern African American generation. The phenomena of con
Title New Jersey, from the United States Series Date 1946 Location Smithsonian American Art Museum Dimensions (61.2 x 50.9) cm Medium Tempera Paint on Fiberboard Jacob Armstead Lawrence was a renowned painter in America who did his paintings on subjects that involve African-American historical background and contemporary life using a style he termed dynamic cubism. His style majored in narratives such as migration and war collection series, and he did not incorporate many French colors, art, and shapes. His career was characterized by illustrations of African Americans’ experiences, which was evident through the color backgrounds that were mainly black and brown. His work was majorly and widely acclaimed as an African American Art, and received acceptance and recognition across the country (Truettner). He became the most famous African American artist, and since then, he continued to earn accomplishments including being a 15 years’ professor at the University of Washington (Hills 321). His works were majorly in series, which he created through several individual panels, for narrating his stories that had experimental and compelling reality (McDermon). I have chosen to discuss Jacob Lawrence’s work “New Jersey from the United States” due to its classic nature and appealing artistic style compounded by a symbolic choice of colors. I was enchanted by his artwork “New Jersey, from the United States series,” which bears an explanation of how the spirit of migration is deeply inscribed in the African Americans’ DNA. According to the DICP model, this painting has bright reds, browns, black, white, yellow-orange, and blue, creating specific naturalistic color blocks and humans, mostly African Americans. There is also a depiction of recreation as seen by the umbrellas and the ball, not forgetting that New Jersey is the birthplace of baseball, according to Matlin (454). The painting depicts the transition from slavery to a hardworking community in a farm plantation setting served by an excellent shipping system. This classical representation showcases the African Americans’ spirit to support and raise educated families as depicted by the inclusion of Princeton University. His work could be described as an image and word combined with poetry with a repetition of specific shapes, which reminds viewers of slave labor and Black American journey to gaining freedom. According to Jacob Lawrence, the journey to freedom was pioneered by the acquisition of civil rights, education, and social status. His painting also indicates an oppressive past that would later lead to
A common believe amongst many people is that long-term care services are only provided at nursing homes. According to the University of the Rochester Medical Center (2010), Long-term care entangles services such as nursing home care, personal or adult care health care to individuals who have disabilities or above 65 years of age (Para. 1). Long-term care is rather expensive service. For instance, nursing facilities that offer skilled long-term care, on average, charge between $150 and $ 300 on daily basis, which translate to excess of $80,000 annually. On the other hand, with reference to All about Long Term Care (2010), custodial home visits thrice per week cost the heights of $90, 000 (Para. 4) annually. Many insurance companies therefore, engineer various policies to cover the expenses. In as much as family members can help the needy in providing for home care chore such as doing the laundry, cleaning or even cooking and dressing among others, some certain other services can only be provided safely and correctly by qualified and licensed health care providers such as practicing nurses and therapists. Such services includes home based injuries or illness treatments. Also included in this list are: hospice services, medical equipments, aids for personal care, home modifications and repair of therapy equipments, respite care, home making services, independent living among others. Home based and community based services (HCBS) enable elderly and individuals who are disabled to live as a community with guaranteed independency in as much as possible. With regard to Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (2010), those who qualify for the HCBS waiver programs demand to be eligible financially for Medicaid (Para. 2) and also must have obtained pre-evaluation admissions that have been approved for nursing level one. In addition, one needs to be a resident of the respective state in which the nursing home is situated. In these centers, social activities assistance services provisions such as health education and meals are provided under the adult care service. Assisted living take into corporation personal care services, medication and homemaker services but not including room and boarding. Also under home based and community long term care is assistive technology services provision that entangles insertion of assistive devices, controls and or appliances and adaptive aids, in home respite care, pest control, personal emergency response systems, personal care services, individualized care attendance and intuitional or home based respite care among others. Secondly, hospice care is available for terminally ill patients and focuses predominantly on palliative as opposed to restorative care. This type of care, not only addresses physical demands of the customers, but also psychological, emotional and spiritual requirements requisite for the patient and also his/her family and
Study question/hypothesis This research attempts to examine the positive and negative outcomes of the inclusive education program in the UAE from the teacher’s point of view. Since several problems, as well as the strengths of the programs, had been identified, the researcher expected the teachers to prove both positive and negative perceptions on the situation. Background of the research: Review of literature The researcher has attempted to develop a strong justification for the study based on a brief but comprehensive review of the relevant literature. The review considers the supportive and opposing claims about the idea of inclusion programs in the national education system. In particular, studies and claims developed outside the country, especially in the western nations, have been reviewed. The author finds that the main opposing claim against the idea of inclusive education programs is that managing classrooms is quite hard because the addition of students with disabilities to normal classes requires additional time and resources. Study methods In the second section, the article reports a study the researcher carried out in the UAE. It examined some 56 teachers to determine their perceptions of the inclusive system. These were teachers assigned to inclusive classes. Findings The study found that teacher perceptions could be classified into a few categories. First, attitudes and inspirations affect outcomes and perceptions. Secondly, outcomes are affected by the nature of inclusive education in the involved schools. Conclusion The article concludes that while the expected benefits of the system are significantly huge, the teachers involved in facilitating learning were expected to have different perceptions of the plans, which formed the main study problem (Anati, 2013). Also, the study proposes that the program has both positive and negative impacts on the involved parties, including the teachers, normal learners as well as learners with disabilities, an aspect that could be examined from a teachers’ perspective.
