Aerosmith is a music band, one of the most important representatives of American hard rock. The band drew their inspiration from the British blues rock that dominated the rock scene in the late 1960s and early 1970s, such as Cream, Led Zeppelin, Jeff Beck Group, and the Rolling Stones. Although Aerosmith is often called the “bad guys from Boston,” this city is not home to any of the participants. Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, and Tom Hamilton first met in the town of Syunapi in the late 1960s. The first came from New York, the second from Massachusetts, and the third from New Hampshire. In 1970, the guys decided to form a group and decided that Boston would be the ideal base for them 1 . Over the following years, the group released several successful records, toured a lot, and enjoyed great popularity, but then faced drug and alcohol addiction problems, which almost caused the breakup. Aerosmith ranks first among American bands in terms of gold, platinum, and multi-platinum albums. Aerosmith has had a strong influence on the development of various musical directions, combining in their work elements of hard rock, heavy metal, pop, glam, and blues. In 2001, they got into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame; Rolling Stone magazine and TV channel VH1 included them in the list of 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. This is already a reason for calling Steven Tyler one of the crucial people in the history of rock music. Still, it is necessary to consider all the details of Aerosmith’s existence. Bad guys from Aerosmith with an awful reputation, extraordinary behavior, and a will to perform forbidden action started really well, then sank to the bottom and got out of all the troubles again. For some reason, people like this kind of “villains.” They definitely have something special and attractive if they spent more than 40 years making music. Aerosmith often appeared in the scandalous magazines and news. These guys were arrested for fights and drugs at concerts. Nevertheless, this only fueled interest in the Aerosmith members. Their headliner, Steven Tyler, is one of the key figures in the history of rock music. It is difficult to say what has caused the public’s love for Steven Tyler for decades: his particular personality or a successfully planned marketing. In any case, people understand that good guys do not become rockers just because they do not interest the audience. The brawler Steven is extraordinary and very “alive,” although he had the riotous lifestyle. A dark past is not the problem: Aerosmith, led by Steven Tyler, is still touring and performing at huge shows. For instance, they had a biggest tour in the music history: The Global Warming World Tour. During this event, the musicians covered all continents 2 . Indeed, it was one of the crucial events in the whole music history. During the band’ performance, the audience could see a documentary about Aerosmith growth on a huge LED screen. It is necessary to focus on this aspect to understand what led to Aerosmith’s creativity’s prosperity. The musical biography of Aerosmith started in 1960s in New Hampshire. In the small town named Syunapi, Steven Talla
Growth and development is a very complex process. It involves biological, behavioral, cognitive and social changes. These changes occur slowly on the bodies and mind of human beings from conception to adulthood. Several psychologists came up with theories that explain the changes that human beings go through during the development process. Among the most famous theories are Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive Development, Albert Bandura’s Social Learning Theory, Vygotsky’s Sociocultural Theory, Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems Theory and Freud’s Psychosexual Stages of Development. These theories explain the biological, social, and behavioral development of human beings. Each of them uses a different approach in explaining the changes that occur on the body, mind and behavior of an individual during the development process. The most problematic point in the development of human beings is when they are two years old. Children at this age develop some unique habits and physical aspects that cause lots of problems to their parents. Behavioral Changes Children at the age of two experience various behavioral changes. Piaget classifies this group of individuals under the Preoperational Stage of Development (Deloache, 2004). According to him, children at this stage lack operational abilities, are egocentric and have problems with their concentration. He insists that such children cannot differentiate between their perspectives and other people’s perspectives (Deloache, 2004). They also concentrate on one item at a time. Piaget also asserts that these individuals treat inanimate things as if they are animate. For example, they talk to stones the same way they talk to their parents and friends. The information processing theory compares the memory of a human being to the computer hardware and software. The proponents of this theory argue that as the hardware of the children matures, they understand how to perform complex tasks with more speed and accuracy (Deloache, 2004). According to Vygotsky, children at this age acquire cultures, beliefs, attitudes and problem-solving skills through interacting with more knowledgeable and experienced individuals (Deloache, 2004). He further argues that some of the tasks individuals encounter requires other people’s guidance while others are within their abilities (Deloache, 2004). Parents should help their children acquire the necessary skills in the performance of some tasks through scaffolding. Social Changes According to Albert Bandura, learning is a process that occurs in the mind of human beings due to the influence of the people around them ( Early childhood: Social development, n.d.). He argues that children learn through observation and imitation. He also insists that children at this age start developing different gender roles due to the rewards they get from their communities: schools, parents and churches. Some children e
Introduction Every company provides its financial position to the public for auditing and tax payment purposes. In addition, this is usually done to strengthen their competitive edge and increase investor confidence as well as invite potential investors. An accounting report on the financial positions of businesses is therefore very important and necessary for the development of such businesses. It is through such initiatives that a conclusive evaluation along with a valuation of the company can be made. In this respect, accounting reporting forms an integral part of financial activities. Depending on each company’s performance, that is whether they make profits or losses, these are important in the calculation of the tax as well as dividend for shareholders. High profits result in increased tax collection, while a loss means less or no tax collection. These reports are quite significant in the development of a country’s economy. For instance, the United States economy is built largely on strong corporate ethics and investments. This paper will consider recent news on Cummins, Inc. It will also endeavor to provide an accounting report of the same (Gibson, 2011, p. 45). Current event in accounting Recent news by Dow Jones Newswires on Cummins Inc. provided a strong financial report on its first-quarter performance. Cummins Company deals in the manufacture, distribution, and design of service engines, among other electrical and fuel appliances. The company made a huge step towards its 2011 sales objectives. This raised their overall sales for the year 2011, allowing them to double second-quarter profits. The company boasts of presence in over 190 countries with above 500 independent distributors globally. Its distribution centers are networked in over 5200 dealer locations throughout the world. In addition, Cummins’ net income for the year 2010 was a massive $1.04 Billion. This shows its large financial base, which is impeccable and tempting to potential investors whose motives are usually to make more profit (Cummins Inc., 2011, p. 1). Summary of the news on Cummins An accounting report on Cummins by Bob Tita brings to knowledge its second-quarter performance which was outstanding. This achievement is attributed to an exceptional rise in demand for truck engines. It is this category of sales that is said to have propelled its profits to more than double. It is also reported that Cummins’ heavy-duty engines also saw a 73% rise in sales. Moreover, the company said that its sales on engines utilized in off-road constructions also rose by 51%. In summary, the company reported a 53% rise in engine-segment sales, which translated into $ 2.9 billion. In addition, pretax profit from that segment also rose from $ 197 in the previous year to $377 mi
During the recent years, the labour market in Ireland changed significantly. The causes for the fact are the global economic changes and definite transformations in the local social and legal policies. These changes resulted in creating the new situation regarding the position of women in the Irish labour market and migrant workers’ role in this market. Thus, two main recent changes in the Irish labour market are the increase in recruiting women and migrant workers for different positions. It is possible to associate the changes in the Irish women’s employment with the social policies and recent tendencies in alternations of the gender roles, and the changes in hiring migrant workers are based on the new rules and laws in the working policies and on opening the borders for the migrant workers from the European Union’s countries which were joined to the union recently. As a result, the tendencies in hiring more women and migrant workers affected the human resource managers’ approach to the hiring process and influenced the aspects of people resourcing within organisations. The changes in the Irish labour market are the results of the global economic processes and alternations in definite Irish legal and social policies in relation to the work permits for the migrant workers and in relation to the terms and conditions of the parental leave for women. The increase of the employment numbers is observed in the retail trade, construction, financial services, and health industry. The change in the perspectives for the female workers is one of the main alternations which influence today the development of the Irish labour market. It is the fact that during the recent years the percentage of those women who are employed and take the positions similar to men’s ones increased greatly. The researchers and economists determine several causes to explain these tendencies. The first factor is the general changes in the economic sphere of Ireland which can be discussed today as the definite economic stability along with the active economic growth. The economic growth resulted in the expansion of the labour market and creation more work positions. The work of women is required in more spheres nowadays (Barrett & McGuinness 2012). That is why, women are discussed as equal to men to take the positions which were traditionally considered as men’s ones. The second factor is the changes in the Irish policies in relation to the maternity leave and the introduction of the parental leave. Several years ago, the main factor which could limit the possibilities of women to take the advantageous positions was the inability
Various strategies such as job-embedded learning and the four corners approach promote the integration of knowledge and sharing of ideas within group settings. Job-embedded learning facilitates professional development by providing appropriate approaches that help ROTC instructors to differentiate learning instructions in a manner that ensures learners derive optimal benefits. Unlike traditional approaches which face various challenges such as inadequate time to attend workshops and difficulties regarding the implementation of various concepts, job-embedded learning allows participants to learn while undertaking their daily tasks (Gregory, 2003). This promotes easier integration of new concepts as participants reflect on experiences and share ideas within group settings. In addition, the approach facilitates effective time utilization. Instructors can adopt various job-embedded learning strategies to achieve optimal results in their endeavors. Some of the main approaches that fit an ROTC instructor include the teacher inquiry and study approach, and coaching. The teacher inquiry and study approach focuses on minimizing the separation between theoretical and practical aspects of learning (Croft, 2010). This approach encourages instructors to reflect on their classroom practices and adopt strategies that promote the realization of students’ expectations. Inquiry enables teachers to tackle various dilemmas that tend to occur during learning exercises. The coaching approach seeks to establish an instructor-student relationship that helps to refine and expand skills and knowledge. To achieve the expected results, coaching should support teachers’ quest to improve their knowledge and teaching skills, and encourage them to participate in reflecting about the gains that students derive from learning experiences. Every form of coaching, whether cognitive, content-focused or peer coaching should include three main stages. These are the pre-visit conference that is organized by the inviting teacher, a classroom visit and a post-visit session. The four corners teaching strategy encourages students to play participatory roles in cases of group activities. This strategy enhances a variety of aspects whose interplay is essential in realizing a fruitful learning experience. These aspects include communication, critical thinking and decision-making approaches (Gregory, 2003). The four corners strategy allows instructors to tackle issues concerning clarity and students’ comprehension levels. Since this strategy promotes practicality and relevance, students become highly motivated and their retention levels improve. Class discussions employing this strategy organize students into classroom corners matching th
A.B.C. Learning Centres, also known as A.B.C., is one of the biggest Australian child care chain. In 1988, the first center was established, in 1997 – 18 centers were presented to society, and in 2006, more than 800 centers provide the company with the necessary child care. Within not a long period, as it was dated in 2005, A.B.C. profits were about $50 million. In this case, there are several issues, which have to be pointed out: (1) unbelievable increase of the share price and marketing capitalization; (2) the Government in Australia offers subsidies to parents, but still, they are indirect because it is a kind of family support payment; (3) because of numerous indirect contributions, A.B.C. spend more than $200 million; (4) A.B.C. is going to establish centers at every 5 kilometers in Brisbane; and finally, (5) A.B.C. cooperated with numerous Australian, New Zealand, and American markets. The last issue is considered to be the most crucial because it depends on all those issues, and at the same time, is composed of several other minor issues like acquisition of equity in the chosen for cooperation countries, necessary platforms for developing other products, abilities to control new fundraisings. A.B.C.’s cooperation with American markets is regarded as a problem because it turns out to be more challenging to control all the financial operations, which have connected A.B.C.’s profits. To achieve good results, A.B.C. should have proper control over each operating costs, credit operations, and excessive borrowings. This cooperation and the establishment of new centers all over the world may be identified as one of the major problems of the organization in the case study. To start solving the problem mentioned above, it is crucially essential to pick out an appropriate search strategy and identify the necessary literature. The chosen for this case study strategy will help to save time, find access to a vast amount of information, and be sure of its relevance. First of all, it is different from academic journals and websites; they can be found in databases and indexes.
Criminal justice is one of those fields that seem to be the easiest ones to master, yet demand the greatest efforts to handle. On the one hand, there is a set of laws and regulations that technically any problem can be handled with. On the other hand, the analysis of a certain case and the choice of the appropriate regulation to deal with the case in point often becomes a major stumbling block. Being the field in which the theoretical issues and the practical ones often happen to be on the opposite sides of the argument, criminal justice remains one of the most complex areas to cover; however, by analyzing its challenges and major obstacles, one can possibly pick a strategy that will help approach the given discipline successfully. The first and the most reasonable step to be made when analyzing the pros and cons of a choice of a particular field of study is considering the publications about the careers in the given field. With that in mind, analyzing such sources as the According to the Occupational Outlook Handbook seems the most appropriate way to start learning about criminal justice studies and the opportunities that they offer. According to the Occupational Outlook Handbook (n.p.), there are two basic career options to choose from for those who have started studying the basics of criminal justice. These are criminal justice professors and criminal justice social workers; the former provide students instructions on criminal justice teaching, while the latter offer the crime victims the necessary support and psychological assistance. However, it can be argued that criminal justice field allows for more career opportunities, such as “employment in law enforcement, corrections, and private or criminal investigations” ( A Criminal Justice Degree Provides Many Career Opportunities para.3). However, when deciding on whether I am going to pick one of these or try something more challenging, I will have to evaluate my skills and abilities adequately: “This is self-understanding that will help you decide which occupations in criminal justice are best for you” (Doyle and DeLucia 6). Another important stage of the investigation of the basic issues in studying criminal justice was the actual observation of the environment in which students learn the given subject (Carpenter and Fulton 179). After being allowed to observe a lesson in criminal justice, the author of the given paper noticed a certain pattern in the interactions between a teacher and the students. Perhaps, since it was the second time that the students had criminal justice classes, they were rather passive, preferring that the teacher should provide them with the answers to the questions that he posed and being clearly afraid of making a mistake. The latter could probably explain why the students responded to the teacher’s questions rather shyly and preferred to listen rather than speak. After the lecture was
Introduction Suicide entails taking one’s life. On the other hand, suicidal behavior involves the contemplation of plans and thoughts to take one’s life. Suicidal behavior precedes suicide. Therefore, controlling suicidal behavior is a success factor for mitigating incidents of suicide. Among the many groups of people who are susceptible to showing suicidal behavior, adolescents take the front line (Berman et al., 2006, p.1116). This result forms the rationale for the focus of this assessment paper. Nevertheless, since incidences of suicide are recorded across people of different ages, suicidal behavior amounts to a serious and significant public health problem across the globe. Surprisingly, incidences of suicide are preventable through various social work and psychiatric interventions. According to the American Association of Suicidology, such interventions include “effective assessment and treatment of people with mental disorders, promotion of help-seeking, early detection and support for youth in crisis, training in life skills, and reduction of access to lethal means” (2011, p.1). However, the extent to which these approaches have been effective in the achievement of the noble goal of reducing incidences of suicides in America remains questionable. This argument is relevant since the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (2012) informs that incidences of adolescent suicides have been on the rise over the last one decade (p.1). The focus of this paper is to scrutinize the prevalence of youth suicidal behavior. It proposes a methodology for assessing and diagnosing the problem besides providing an extensive explanation of the relevance of the proposed methodology within the sphere of social work. The paper also endeavors to evaluate the weakness of the proposed method of assessing adolescent suicidal behavior coupled with presentation of mechanisms of modifying the methodology to lessen its problems. Prevalence of Adolescent ideation Suicidal Behavior Known/Unknown Facts about Adolescent Suicidal Behavior Several facts are known about adolescent suicidal problem. In fact, among the many causes of youth’s deaths, suicide is incredibly significant. World Health Organization (2001) puts it among “the top 3 causes of death in the population aged 15 to 34 years” (Para.1). The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (2012) confirms this rating by emphasizing that suicide is in the third position in the list of the causes of deaths of people aged between 10 to 24 years (p.2). It results in the loss of an approximated 4600 lives of the US’ adolescents annually. In addition, with regard to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (2012) statistics, among the top three means used to accomplish adolescent suicides, the use of firearms stands at 45 percent with self induced poisoning and suffocation being at 8
Introduction Global warming is considered to be one of the most serious problems in the world. Many scientists tackle these problems regarding the results of this ecologic phenomenon but not its causes. Therefore, it is necessary to pursue how the development of human activities and industry allocation influence the environmental pollution in different areas thus causing acid rains and the greenhouse effect. In particular, the main reasons for global warming are human activities revealing gas production. Those gases hamper the Sun’s heat within the atmosphere and one of such gases is carbon dioxide. Our purpose is to track the climate changes in the different zones on the planet with the help of geographic information. Further, it is necessary to define the role of GIS for problem-solving. Main Body Literature Review For the GIS project, it is necessary to study the main aspects and problems of global warming and the way it affects the geographic presentation of the planet. In particular, it is possible to investigate the figures of temperature degree and sea level. The study by Chris Oxlade allows us to understand the complicated process of climate chain leading to specific changes in the atmospheric layers and lessening the glacier zone in different periods (217). The study by Longley provides significant data about geographic information systems, their definition, and their role in analyzing different problems of everyday life. The book proves that both regional and global problems can be predicted if u
