John could be diagnosed with schizoid personality disorder and narcissistic personality disorder. The key characteristics of schizoid personality disorder include detachment and aloofness. At grade six, John became disinterested in quarterbacking and became withdrawn. As a teen, his relationships existed in his imaginations. Narcissistic personality disorder manifests through grandiose and dramatic behavior, e.g., shooting the president to win Jodie’s love and obsession with fantasy and success. A secondary diagnosis for John is moderate delusional order seen in his vivid fantasies. The provisional diagnosis made is borderline personality disorder characterized by his hypersensitivity to rejections and diminished response to his motives or actions. Since John fits the DSM-V criteria for these personality disorders, he could be regarded as criminally insane. Fiona Anderson stars in the movie Away From Her . She is an elderly childless woman with ancestral roots in Iceland, but brought up in Canada. Presently, she is unemployed and stays with her husband in an inherited house in Ontario. Fiona’s husband, Grant Anderson, is a retired professor. The couple leads an active lifestyle that includes skiing within the area. Fiona and her husband rarely meet their friends. The two have no drug problem, except for occasional drinks at their house. The two have no relationship problems. However, there were allegations that Grant had an affair with a student as a professor. To deal with this problem, the couple moved to this remote place after Grant’s retirement. In the movie, Fiona’s actions indicate symptoms of memory loss. In the first instance, she is seen placing the frying pan in the fridge. As the problem progresses, she sticks labels on lockers as reminders of where items are stored. Later, she confesses that she sometimes does not remember the meanings or pronunciations of words like ‘wine’. She does not remember how to mail a letter, despite giving correct responses to questions concerning mails. She loses her sense of direction and wanders off away from their farmhouse. In multiple occasions, her husband finds tasks that Fiona had abandoned midway or forgot to do. In one instance, Grant finds out that she went outside after placing a pot of water on the cooker to boil and forgot about it. Later, she is admitted to the Meadowlake medical center for treatment for her memory loss. However, she does not remember ever being married to Grant. Although she recognizes his face, she does not seem to remember being married to him. She develops an attachment to a male caregiver at the facility who she claims does not confuse him. Fiona fits the criteria for mild neurocognitive disorder due to Alzheimer’s disease. Fiona’s gradual memory decline and impaired motor abilities, including forgetting word meanings are symptomatic of the disease. She also presents with behavioral disturbances, including wandering. Hence, a secondary diagnosis of the major neurocognitive disorder is made. She also displays dissociative amnesia symptoms. Her memory loss is not triggered by physiological factors or substance use.
Fiction Defined Fiction is best regarded in the world of literature as composed of scripts and tales or a gathering of false or fictitious phenomena as illustrated in articles, movies, or other types of illustrations. Therefore, the most obvious fact is that fiction is a false phenomenon. Nevertheless, its concept had no latter expounded to cover other areas aside from literary contexts or the social events, which include history. It may now include the reviewing of happenings and initiatives outside the narrating mechanism of the book or media. Fiction can possibly include the happenings of everyday life and is reliant on the person that narrates the happenings, the manner of its narration, and its composition. It transforms into a transcribed and a collection of personal events (Scholes, p. 4). Poetry Defined Poetry, on the other hand, is an artistic description of social interactions, communities, leisure, human initiatives, films, and other pertinent topics that happen in everyday life which in their existence connect individuals together, or divert them away. This implies that poetry can absolutely include authentic happenings and situations with individuals as respondents and with the meaning or theme establishing the framework of the poetry. Another significant factor that distinguishes poetry from fiction is the aspect of length and duration between the fictional literature to the authentic and realistic poetical works. While the duration and series of happenings are what distinguishes the framework of fictional literature, poetry would rely on the length and the topic rather than the storyline (Phillips, p. 5). Poetry is still a complicated form in the subject of art. The Comparison of Poetry and Fiction Studies illustrate both poetry and fiction as systematic and alive frameworks that transform all the rumors into written stories. They enable the transformation of the interaction to something logical and it enables itself to be changed and transferred from one reader to an individual listener, and authenticate itself in a series of interactions, topics, and societies. Fiction and poetry manipulate the creative minds and a person’s experience in a manner that is solid and logical (Bethea, p. 7). The force towards fictional literature and poetry is based on the desire to make people fascinate and the happiness established by the idea that the author is able to formulate an impact on a person’s intellect. Both fiction and poetry are highly anticipated by communities, but there are instances that it is totally neglected due to the efforts to connect towards others at the danger of being allowed or denied. Excellent fictional literature and poetry possess the capacity to connect societies. The absolute and the logical are achieved and allowed in a society. Both fiction and poetry change the basic facts which are often viewed as impossi
Introduction The increase of violence among the teen and youth population has risen considerably in the last ten or fifteen years. The growth has surpassed boundaries to reach and touch every family, neighborhood, country, and continent in the world. Nationally, there has been a significant rise in youth or juvenile violence. Indeed, studies indicate that there has been a rise in juvenile delinquency by nearly 50 percent. Reports further indicate that this rise has put tremendous pressure on the juvenile justice system and this has caused a dangerous environment in neighborhoods, making it nearly impossible to hold juvenile responsible for their actions, and leaves the rehabilitation requirements of the juveniles practically impossible to address the ever rising number of juvenile offenders in and out of the system. Pinckney-Edwards (2008) writes that “our urban cities nationwide feel the brunt of a system that has fallen short of meeting the challenge presented during the past decade.” A testament to the weight felt by society by the failure of the juvenile justice system to undertake its roles effectively. There are a number of risk factors that have led youths to engage in risky behaviors. Most of these factors are paradoxical to the ‘protective dynamics’ that should positively influence a youth’s ability to participate in self-destructive behavior. Rather than leave the task of addressing juvenile delinquency to authorities, families and the society in general should take a greater role to play in deterring youths and other young persons from engaging in risky behaviors. However, the juvenile justice also requires an overhaul in order to address the rising statistics on juvenile delinquency. The Role of the Society in Addressing Juvenile Delinquency Educational Institutions The risk factors that cause young persons to engage in violent behavior are frequently caused by society’s failure to instill good values upon this delicate segment of the population. Although studies show that most of these problems arise from problems within family setups, there is also evidence that problem behaviors that lead to risky behaviors tend to cluster, for instance, drug abuse, teen pregnancy and school dropout are closely linked. Besides, risk factors tend to function in a cumulative manner; that is the higher the number of risk factors, the more the probability of a youth to engage in risky behavior. If society, for instance, a school administration took a more active role in identifying or lessening these risk factors and taking appropriate steps, this would be caus
I administered running records to children to assess their reading and comprehension abilities. I used running records because early education theories recognise the need to use running records to assess a child’s reading progress (Tompkins, Campbell & Green, 2012) Teachers who administer running records to their students have their practice directly influenced and are able to achieve their goals. This is due to the fact that the teachers are able to identify strengths and weaknesses in students whilst they are administering running records. Early education theory recognises the fact that children learn through experiences as narrated by their parents, relatives and teachers. Through this, they develop a rich speaking vocabulary that can be gauged by the use of running records. Research demonstrates that reading is directly related to writing in early education (Bear, Invernizzi, Templeton & Johnson, 2008). Research also demonstrates that running records are efficiently used to gauge phonics, spelling and vocabulary (Westwood, 1999). These aspects of learning are crucial in developing reading and writing abilities. Running records also gauge speech sounds by a child. This knowledge determines the level of a child in learning sounds (Tompkins et al., 2012). A teacher’s judgement can be both strength and weakness of running records. For example, a teacher understands his or her students’ abilities, thus assesses them depending on their comprehension. However, a new teacher in a class might wrongly assess students because he or she does not know their strengths. On the other hand, running records have weaknesses in assessing a child’s reading and comprehension abilities. One of the disadvantages of taking a running record is that it is time-consuming, especially when a teacher does not know the reading age of a student. Early education research recommends teachers to use their own judgement to gauge their students instead of solely relying on running records. This is due to the fact that children have different speeds of learning. Dependence on running records has been linked to the wrong assessment of efforts made by children in reading. I was aware of the fact that running records have a weakness in gauging hands-on activities by children (Bear et al., 2008). Other reading assessments should be used in such classroom assessments (Westwood, 1999). This has been necessitated by the fact that word recognition and readings are not based on memorising only. Running records do not take into consideration the fact that children should be allowed to make a general conclusion when they encounter new words. I had challenges in using a general running record to gauge the children. I achieved a successful outcome in assessing children’s reading and comprehension abiliti
Introduction Thermogenics has been used extensively in different situations especially in the field of sports. It has been promoted and it is been used currently by most bodybuilders, runners, and people from all walks of life to increase energy, enhancing sports performance and reduce weight among individuals. (Astrup, 2000). Definition Thermogenics has been defined differently by different researchers (Hamilton, 2001). It refers to dietary supplements that are incorporated into the body system to stimulate the fat-burning function of the body. These are substances that aid the process of calorie burning resulting from increasing heat production (Hamilton, 2001). Benefits of Thermogenics When one uses thermogenic supplements, he or she becomes very sensitive and alert. For example, taking coffee in the morning has become mandatory to most people across the world due to the fact one cannot carry his normal duties in the normal way if does not drink. Coffee contains caffeine which is a thermogenic stimulant hence enhancing alertness among individuals. Elementary Nutrition has expounded the importance of the antioxidants that are some of the elements of the thermogenic supplements. These substances are very crucial in our body system because it facilitates oxidation of tissues by neutralizing it. These enable one to be very agile, enhances individuals’ flexibility, and make one look younger and more so enables one to be very energetic throughout his lifetime. Thermogenic has the effect of decreasing appetite among individuals hence fewer calories are will be consumed hence loss of the body weight. These calories eaten but not consumed will be used as energy. It is recommendable that people who want to reduce their weight use thermogenic fat burner as it is effective (Astrup, 2000). S
What is the communication process from an ATM to our company? An ATM is a computer terminal like a normal desktop computer. It only differs in appearance, number of inputs/outputs devices, and the types of tasks it can accomplish. An ATM has an input system that the customer uses to pass commands to the ATM and an output system for communicating to the user. The customer inserts his/her card to begin the transaction. The ATM performs several tasks. These tasks are carried out by programs that have been loaded in the ATMs. Such example is authenticating the user of the ATM card. Here the program types an instruction for the user to enter the PIN (Personal Identification Number), after the user types the PIN, it reads and encrypts it for security purposes, transmits it via a particular port through a network to our server. The server then receives the information (The PIN, user account number and other details encrypted) and transmits it to our computer that has user authentication and other data processing programs. The program decrypts the data and performs a user identification process. It then sends a response to the ATM via our intranet to the server, from the server through the external network to the ATM (Bowen, 2008, para.2). Our company has agreed on a deal where our clients and the clients of Unbelievable Wisdom Credit Union (UWCU) will be sharing the ATMs of both companies. Two problems arise here. One of them is networking one company’s ATMs to the other Companies Computers. The second is that the computer applications of the two companies use different port numbers. The issue of networking can be solved in two ways. An extra connection line (Leased line or Dial-up connection) can be made from ATMs of one company to the server (and thus the intranet) of the other company. The second solution is to establish a network between the intranets of the two companies. This solution would also require making changing configuration settings of firewalls (packet filtering, Bastion LAN, proxy firewall etc) at both companies to permit communication to occur between computers of both companies. The second problem of port numbers is the major one. The changes that need to be made will not affect the way data is transmitted from the ATMs to our server. This is because no data processing is done along with the network, only packet switching is done along with the network and this does not affect the data or applications that will process the data. The port number used depends on data embedded in the ATM card. Networked programs communicate through sockets. Java.sun.com, the certified website of Sun considers a socket as a “single endpoint of a duo-way communication connection in two programs running on the network. A socket is bound to a port number so that the TCP layer can identify the application that data is destined to be sent” (Sun, n.d, para.4). The application programs at the ATMS and the Host computers will be affected. Since the choice of interconnecting our intranets is best (to problem one)’ the best way to solve the port problem is as follows. The programs in both types of ATMs should be modified to detect the type of card and then
Introduction This essay analyzes Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes. It outlines the main characters, themes, and questions raised by the author. The novel is a masterpiece that is known all over the world. Since its first publication, more than 277 years ago, it has remained one of the favorites of university students and those who appreciate a great piece of literature. It is a novel that is easy to remember and understand because of the title itself, Don Quixote. Reading Don Quixote’s summary is enough to get invested and start wanting to go through the whole thing. The title is already an invitation to read. According to one commentary, there is a popular appeal, and the novel strikes a chord among readers (Cascardi, 2002, p.127). There is a reason why Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra’s story is well-known and much appreciated . That is because parody in Don Quixote is an excellent example of how to use humor in literature. What makes Don Quixote a parody? The answer to this question will be presented in the below paragraphs. How is Don Quixote a parody? What is a Parody? It is important to first understand the meaning of the word. According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, a parody is “a literary or musical work in which the style of an author or work is closely imitated for comic effect” (Merriam-Webster, 2010, p.1). Two things need to be emphasized here to have a clear understanding of what a parody is . First, there is previous work completed and used as a basis by the writer to create a parody. In other words, there is an artistic work completed beforehand, and the author will base his work on it. Secondly, it must be made clear that the author who is doing the parody is not merely copying or using another person’s work as a basis or inspiration for his work. To parody means to imitate or create something that ridicules the original. The purpose, of course, is for entertainment. A parody can be very useful depending on the ability of the writer and the subject matter used as a basis for writing the satire – the more popular and well-love the subject matter, the better. Don Quixote is one of the best-known examples of parody in world’s literature. Don Quixote: Parody of Chivalric Romance Don Quixote as a parody is a literary masterpiece and the famous body of work used as one of parody short story examples for the numerous novels and poems of chivalry that were famous three centuries ago. In a time when there was no television and radio, the stories about knights and their adventures are an essential form of entertainment available in post-medieval Europe (Paulson, 1998, p.3). There were knights in shining armor, and there were beautiful women in trouble that requires rescue. The romance and adventure created a powerful mixture that resulted in the form of entertainment that serves as a distraction from a monotonous life before modern conveniences like cars, refrigerators, and microwave ovens became the norm. But after a while, some became tired of reading the same thi
“Since Cleopatra Died” by Neil Powell discusses the importance of context in many different works of Shakespeare. The author begins by pointing out the concept of context and tense within the first few lines, stating that the words “Since Cleopatra Died” are devastating because Marc Antony’s understanding of the context is misunderstood. He commits suicide under the supposition that Cleopatra died, yet she is alive (Powell 1). Given this example, the author vehemently asserts that “tenses matter, which is why their misuse grates so dreadfully” (Powell 1). Shakespeare used tense quite often in his plays for word-play, comical relief, sarcasm, and drama, which served to either trick the characters into believing a falsehood or allowing the audience to understand something before a character did. Therefore, the misuse of tense and context in Shakespeare can drastically change the meaning of any of his plays, even among the characters in the plays themselves. Powell references Hamlet and Antony and Cleopatra to provide several points about the importance of tense in the plays. For example, in a segment from Hamlet, Powell shows that the quote “‘She should have died hereafter…Not ‘she shouldn’t have died’ nor even ‘I wish she hadn’t died, but ‘She ought to have waited until later’”(Powell 1). Powell goes on to explain that Shakespeare used a mixture of tenses for plot points, as in Antony and Cleopatra when Antony misunderstands the tense of Cleopatra’s death and kills himself because of it. As such, to understand the correct tense is to understand Shakespeare’s specific meaning in his plays. However, meaning is also elusive. Although tense is important with any reading, so is the emphasis ( Norton 2009). In Shakespearean plays, much is left open to emphasis and meaning due to the lack of certain punctuations, emphases, and, even, context. No more is this true than in any reading of Shakespeare’s plays in which much is left to the imagination of the readers, such as how a word will be emphasized. Shakespeare was notorious for leaving out acting cues. As such, even tense can be misconstrued easily, though Powell quite ignores this in favor of explaining the various examples of tense in a select few Shakespearean plays. I believe that this is an immense weak point in Powell’s argument because it ignores many of Shakespeare’s other plays in which tense and context are largely confusing due, in no small part, to a lack of emphasis and acting commands. Powell also sticks to only a few examples from select plays, which completely disregards the differing examples from other works of Shakespeare and minimizes Powell’s points. Despite the lack of oversight on this one issue, Powell can create a persuasive argument for readers to spend more time understanding Shakespeare’s tenses, rather than speedily reading through the plays and dramatically misunderstanding their meaning them. In this, Powell makes a very strong point that anyone stu
Executive summary The implications of the Fair Work Act 2009 have changed the industrial relationship legislation and created the prospect of changing to the technique of managers working, role of employees and employers and the unions engage. The contemporary research suggests that the latest changes to the Australian Industrial Relationship legislation have endowed with an assortment of opportunities for organisations to adjust their relationship with the unions as well as employees with a variety of scopes that may support the employers to be benefited for having an union’s presence at their workplace. This paper explores the factors influencing the implications of the Fair Work Act and to do so this paper has scrutinised the overview of fair work act 2009, view of the minister, view of the opposition. It also investigated the implications of the fair work act for the state, employees, employers, unions, managers, Australian society as a whole under the recessionary economy. Key Changes The plan of the government was to change the industrial relations and multiple workplace relations systems in Australia by replacing the Workplace Relations Act 1996. The Fair Work Act 2009 brings these changes because the previous system had overlapped with the state workplace relations regulation and created extreme levels of uncertainty as well as legal complexity –   * Private sector: This provisions of this Act had covered about 80.5% of all Australian non-managerial private sector employees (House of Representatives, 2009);   * NE
