Parker Griffith is a 67-year-old American politician, who raised from a radiation oncologist to one of the most famous Republican members of the United States House of Representatives. He is a retried physician, a small business owner, and an ordinary person, who wants to achieve success and recognition by means of good and thoughtful actions. Since 2009, he stands for Alabama’s 5 th congressional district that involves such counties like Jackson, Madison, Morgan, Limestone, Lawrence, Lauderdale, and Colbert (Feldman, 71). The point is that he was chosen as the district’s representative from the Democratic Party; but on December 22, 2009, Parker Griffith announced that he switched parties because of considerable disagreements with Blue Dog Coalition. There is a great variety of issues, Parker Griffith stands for and tries to improve. The ideas of small business, questions of immigration, health care problems, and education challenges become the main points of Parker Griffith’s work. He admits that our current educational system requires considerable and fast actions in order to take the leading positions on a global scale. “I believe the best way to ensure our children are prepared for school and ready to learn is to expand our early childhood education programs to include pre-kindergarten classes” (Griffith, Education ). Parker Griffith also supports the ideas to legalize immigration because illegal legislation leads to affecting our health care system, decreasing local economies, and hurting the communities we live in. In general, Griffith’s political positions are regarded as conservative ones. He cannot support same-sex marriages, and this very issue may antagonize certain groups of people and attract the attention of people with the same preferences. It is not easy to be right in all questions and please all citizens. Parker Griffith is one of those congressmen, who comprehend this truth and tries to weight as many pros and cons of this life as possible to achieve the best results of his campaigns and create a prosperous and successful state. Sometimes, it is very hard to trust one person and believe that all his/her words are true. In case with Parker Griffith, people may start doubting concerning his unexpected switching of parties and changing own principles. It is useless to spend much time to clear up the reasons of his actions. It is better to concentrate on his actions, his words, and his intentions in order to realize that this is a person, who cares about his native country and about its citizens. He is not afraid to say that th
Rachel is a modern Canadian poetess whose works reflect on the range of the problems connected with Jewish discrimination and the occupation of Israel. The opening poem A Priori is shaped in a form of proposition within which she opposes the notions that are impossible to oppose. Hence, the poem provides a list of ‘if’ statement pertaining to the merits and the shortcoming of modern life. These simple statements reveal many social, cultural and religious topic that are still at issue. The poem present the concepts in the form of dependent propositions thus showing that everything in the world is interconnected. At the same time, Zolf expresses her doubt concerning a constant need to gain knowledge. In her interview, Zolf explains: These propositions, which by their nature are meant to be givens, still, of course, ironically, contain the conditional ‘if’ statement so abhorred by plain-language practitioners and others. By putting all these different propositions in contrast and in opposition with one another, and making them all stay quivering beside each other on the same page, their validity as a priori propositions is called into question (189). Considering this, the poetess tries to emphasize the fact that clear concept does not exist as everything is perceived in comparison. In other words, Zolf exerts the principle of relativity where one idea is dependent on another. From the first lines, we can trace Zolf’s interpretation of the church and worship as a form of comfort and release. Hence, the line “if the Sabbath is a form of constraint” (Zolf 206). In contrast, the worship could be also defined as a method of forcing an individual into a specific concept, which is rarely defined. The next line explains that this concept is revealed through the idea of fight and war. The next two lines prove the presence of diverse sides of the war. The line “if Elie Wiesel is the Holocaust” (Zolt 206) embraces the times of merciless extinction of the Jewish during the Holocaust. The next proposition is the answer and the depreciation of Nazi cruel treatment of this nation. At the same time, it is a call to remind people of their humanity. In some cases, this conjunction does not perform its direct function but contains the opposite meaning thus emphasizing the consequence but not condition. Therefore, it is impossible to identify which proposition is a priori. In that regard, the line “if there is a horror at the heart of divinity” (Zolf 206) Zolf touches upon the humility that is based on the fear, but at the same time we see the opposed line: “if the body goes off near the Sbarro pizzeria” (Zolf 206) implying the confrontation of the divine laws and carnal desires. The “ifs” also show the author’s rigid transition from righteous propositions to down-to-earth notions of the reality of immoral violence and infringement of the divine laws. By this, Zolf shows the outright nonconformity of religion with our life that could be rather contrastive. The opposing propositions bear an ironical sense. Thus, the closing line “If Israel is not in Israel” (Z
Intimate partner violence is recognized to be one of the most influential factors why families in the United States break. The origin of the problem lies in the allusive nature of emotional abuse that might lead to a physical one. The majority of people who are exposed to domestic violence or sexual abuse have suffered cruelty from their partners in their teenage years. Therefore, teen dating violence is a core of the serious problems in adulthood and marriages. The choice of the topic is dictated by the acute relevance of the problem in the modern world and its subtle manifestation. Awareness of the possible ways to recognize and fight dating violence among teenagers might contribute to the overall resolution of the issue and improvement of the lives of thousands of people who are suffering. The problem of dating abuse in teenagers might exist without victims’ awareness of one. Emotional violence can take different forms and seems too vague to be addressed. However, according to statistics, approximately “one-third of all teens involved in romantic relationships will experience abuse of some kind” (Teen Dating Violence). More importantly, the vast majority of reported abuse cases from teenagers address emotional violence (Teen Dating Violence). It is a widespread issue and has to be recognized at the earlier stages to ensure the safety of the mental and physical health of a person. Raising awareness of the problem and distributing information about possible ways of resolving it is also vital. As with any other violence, teen dating abuse can be legally reported with an ultimate bringing the abusive partner to justice (Teen Dating Violence). The information about the signs of being a victim of abuse in relationships should be spread in schools to encourage teens to stand for their dignity and self-respect. In conclusion, the essential point necessary to be addressed within the scope of the discussed problem is that dignity and freedom should be a priority in relationships. This is the idea that has to be acutely addressed in teenage upbringing to eliminate cases of constant suffering from abuse in relationships that would lead to adverse outcomes in adulthood. Early recognition of the problem might protect victims and prevent similar incidents in the future. Work Cited Teen Dating Violence, 2018. Web.
Introduction Often, some things that people do for leisure or hobbies turn out to be valuable in one way or another. Some things that may seem to be time waste and childish could be treasures when their potential is properly unleashed (Mulligan et al.). One such item is the sports cards most kids might have grown up collecting in their childhood boy due to their passion for sports. Sports cards have for a long time been deemed as mere leisure items mostly associated with sports enthusiasts who wanted to keep pictures of their favorite athletes (Huigens 33). Most people do not see any other value attached to the cards with the pictures of prominent sportspeople apart from entertaining the collectors who have their idol’s pictures in their photo albums. However, with proper exposure and attending several national sports collectors’ conventions, you’ll realize that sports cards are valuable collectibles, not just pieces of paper. Sports Card Value The history and culture of the sports cards have an important effect on their value. According to Rogers, the first sports card was printed by Allen and Ginter in the US in 1886 to advertise their tobacco. The evolution of sports cards has seen the art change over time as various sports have emerged, attracting diversified audiences. The idea behind using sports cards for advertising was driven by the fact that sports have large audiences with many fans who would die to have images of their favorite players in the albums or cabinets. Therefore, the manufacturers of the sports cards designed them for advertising various products by exploiting the leisure aspect of the cards, which would attract a huge fanbase. For example, a product manufacturer would package their products by wrapping their goods with sports cards containing pictures of a famous sports team player which would attract fans to purchase the products to get the cards. In the process, manufacturers’ sales would increase as more products would be sold to sports enthusiasts. Additionally, sports cards were also used as event tickets to attract a large
Introduction Humor is something that makes us smile at the beginning of the day and wonder for a time. You’ll be amazed at the end of the day, and then laugh again upon remembering you really had a day. It’s a smile and a laughter that make us healthy inside and out. Humor is a part of life, and if we try to ignore it because of too many activities, or of little things that we tend to magnify in spite of their irrelevance in our lives, then life becomes boring and unhealthy, and for all we know we’ve fallen into a pit of misery. We have different tastes when it comes to humor. Some want antics, others slapsticks, still others want it light. What do I want? Anything, anything that makes me smile when after a long time, I’ll still be able to remember it. Main body I always love humor. And I like to smile and laugh. We’ve got to love it because it’s what makes life exciting. Humor occurs any moment. It is sometimes a cause for an effect, a motivational factor for change, a medicine, a bridge (sort of) between couples, and so forth. And laughter is a physical activity. It’s not an irrelevant activity; our body needs it, like a medicine for a stressful day. Scott Feschuk, in an article in the humour issue of the Reader’s Digest titled “Why Women Just Don’t Get It,” says, “We laugh to signal safety, when fears of trouble are defused. German soldiers in World War One were seen to laugh after surviving a bombardment. A baby laughs when tickled to show that he knows this ‘attack’ is in play.” Laughter as medicine, but what if you have a broken leg, is not a cast much better? Yes, I never laughed before than I did in this class of humorous people and teacher. Whenever I touch base here, I always like to place myself in the center of a joke. That’s because I’ve never felt so relaxed, and healthy, and happy. I want to be humorous, but not to the extent of becoming a clown. But if that would really happen on me, I would just have to love it. Making people happy for what I appear to be may just be a consolation as a human being. To laugh is to be happy. You don’t see people laugh when they are sad, although there are people who are like that. But still, laughing your problems and your miseries out can be self healing. David Granirer says, “We’ve heard the saying ‘Laughter is
The purpose of this study was to determine average outpatient waiting for time and outpatient and employee satisfaction at Burjeel Hospital across various clinics. To address these objectives, the study questions included the following. Research Questions  1. What is your average outpatient waiting time with a consultant at Burjeel Hospital before receiving care?  2. Based on your average outpatient waiting time at Burjeel Hospital, how would you rate your overall satisfaction with the hospital? Methodology The methodology provided the methods used to collect data for the research question. It was designed to inform research purpose and data analysis. The research methodology applied to study outpatient waiting time and outpatient and employee satisfaction at Burjeel Hospital was a case study. The case study ensured an in-depth exploration of available data regarding waiting times and satisfaction among employees and patients for the period of January 2015 to March 2015. Specifically, data for customer satisfaction surveys were collected on January 15 and February 15, while outpatient waiting times data were collected on March 15. Identification and explanation of primary data collection methods Standard survey questions designed and used by Burjeel Hospital were used as the primary methods of data collection for the study because of qualitative and quantitative data required. Data collected focused on opinions about customer satisfaction, interests, values, and experiences with the hospital and employees. Standard survey questions provided by Burjeel Hospital were used because of convenience. That is, they were readily available and easily distributed by hospital staff to various departments within Burjeel Hospital. Identification and explanation of quantitative and qualitative data analysis methods The researcher adopted a mixed methods research to provide ease of analysis of both qualitative and quantitative data (Johnson & Onwuegbuzie, 2004, pp. 14–26). The mixed-method (the inclusion of a quantitative phase and a qualitative phase in an overall research study) was used in the study. The quantitative phase focused on outpatient waiting time data, while the qualitative phase collected data on patient and employment satisfaction. The mixed-method provided the following advantages. The mixed-method was used to achieve research validity through triangulation. Triangulation involves verification of study findings. For instance, the researcher used both qualitative and quantitative methods in order to assess levels of satisfaction among outpatients and average waiting times across various departments. The mixed methods research ensured that the study could explore two critical areas, that is, outpatient waiting time and patient satisfaction based on waiting time outcomes. Identification and explanation of sample size and sampling method
Yoga has an origin in the Indian philosophy and is practiced in the modern-day, with each type of discipline having unique techniques. The main application of yoga is a therapeutic intervention that has psychological and physiological effects. However, a medical benefit to the exercise has not been scientifically proven. Most studies on the topic were conducted in India and prove to be inconsistent or inconclusive. The article seeks to encompass current evidence on the clinical effects of yoga. The most studied effect of yoga is its influence on mental health. As a treatment for depression, there was no consistent evidence. However, fatigue and anxiety disorder studies showed that yoga has a potential benefit to be used as treatment; however, further comprehensive studies should be done. Yoga has proven to be beneficial and as efficient as other methods in lowering stress and PTSD symptoms. The AHRQ reports similar conclusions that yoga helps to reduce stress. Studies were done to study the effects of yoga on the fitness levels of the elderly. They showed a moderate effect on balance and body strength. Cardiovascular endurance in studies showed improvement along with increased fitness. More conclusive studies need to be done on sympathetic/parasympathetic activation as well as yoga helping older adults retain function and self-autonomy through physical fitness. Yoga has shown inconsistent or insignificant benefits to the cardiopulmonary system. Yoga is an intervention method for glucose regulation. Results were varied but showing a small improvement in fasting glucose, as cited by the AHRQ. Meanwhile, there was no noticeable effect on menopausal systems. When dealing with specific diseases like cancer or epilepsy, yoga helped deal with psychological pressure and stress but showed no physiological impact. Due to the physical aspect of yoga, there was a clinically meaningful improvement when dealing with musculoskeletal functioning and pain for relieving pressure and therapeutic relaxation, sometimes more helpful than other interventions. The collective review established the benefits of yoga to some extent in all areas of health. However, further studies and analyses are needed for conclusive evidence. The experiments are few and are
In my health care organization, I would implement the balanced scorecard planning tool. This tool was initially developed as an instrument of evaluation, i.e. it was used to assess how well an organization performs on different levels, including departmental and corporate. However, evaluation carried out by means of the balanced scorecard is meant to be rather formative than summative, i.e. it shows what should be improved in an organization and provides recommendations. The main benefit of introducing the balanced scorecard is that it facilitates strategic development because it ensures that everything an organization does contributes to achieving strategic goals; therefore, the system allows seeing what is unnecessary and eliminating it (Grigoroudis, Orfanoudaki, & Zopounidis, 2012). To implement the tool, I would primarily develop a list of criteria specific to every department of my health care organization. All the objectives should be aligned with strategic priorities, and it is important to establish targets, i.e. what performance is expected and pursued, and to define initiatives, i.e. certain steps that should be made to achieve the targets. I think the use of the balanced scorecard can help combine all the efforts made by an organization to ensure that it is moving toward its strategic goals and does not waste resources on anything that does not promote its development. In the context of strategic planning, it should be acknowledged that there are different areas of planning that might require different approaches. I think that, in long-term care organizations, quality and value is the area in which strategic efforts are most relevant. Quality of care is a complex notion, and various approaches exist to defining and evaluating it, but what can be definitively affirmed is that the quality of care in a health care organization cannot be continuously improved unless the organization’s management and leadership consider in their planning all the strengths and weaknesses of their facility as well as competitor facilities and look ahead in the future, i.e. unless they commit to strategic development (Grol, Wensing, Eccles, & Davis, 2013). Planning quality improvement at the local level is challenging due to the need to profoundly understand and regulate the inner operation of health care organizations; regional-level planning can be challenging due to the need to understand the connections among health care organizations; and the main challenge of planning at the national level is that various factors need to be considered that influence health care—such factors as technological development and new achievements of health care research. In quality improvement evaluation, the key
Introduction In the context of the present-day developments, leadership appears to be a matter of numerous discussions, as it is an integral part of success in every field. There are a great number of theories in this respect, which are helpful in developing essential qualities for improving leadership skills. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to discuss primary leadership traits and provide some examples by covering widely known and successful leaders. Leadership Traits Intelligence Picture 1. What is Artificial General Intelligence? The first trait of character, which appears to be an integral part of a range of leadership qualities, is intelligence. An administrator, manager, director, and other similar positions require a broad mind in order to produce the most efficient solutions. This aspect includes not only knowledge, but also the ability to think logically and analytically. This is definitely helpful in elaborating and most sufficient decisions rapidly (Northouse, 2020). Therefore, Picture 1 depicts a model of a human brain with countless neural connections, which refers to the variety of tasks, which should be solved by leaders. Confidence Picture 2. How to Improve Self Confidence and 5 Mistakes to Avoid Another quality, which is characteristic for leaders is confidence, and, first of all, this aspect regards the perception of self. This is demonstrated in Picture 2, where a man is standing, and his shadow illustrates his image of a superhero. This image conveys the sense of confidence precisely. Individuals, who are confident in themselves, their competency, positive outcomes of their efforts, and the ability to adjust to any situation, may become real leaders. They are capable of making tough and serious decisions, reassure people, and inspire them (Northouse, 2020). This quality also contributes to establishing open communication between employees and trustful relationships without judgment (Northouse, 2020). In addition, a leader should be confident in the people, whom he or she is surrounded, in order to realize the ideas. Charisma Picture 3. 3 Reasons Charisma is the Most Impactful Quality All Great Leaders Have Charisma is a quality, which cannot be precisely defined, and it is perceived at the level of senses. In general, it presents a combination of communication skills, the ability to reassure someone, and special charm, which is influential on others. Charismatic people are capable of establishing a deep connection with numerous people, and this qu
A simple financial statement analysis is carried out (Appendix II) which is based on the extracts from the Best Pty Ltd financial statements. This analysis concludes:  1. Revenue: The company revenue has increased by 160% as compared to 2003. However, on YoY basis the revenue growth rate has been reducing with just 6.61% growth posted in 2007. This may be due to incorrect pricing strategy or other factors such as lower demand, increased competition etc.  2. Depreciation and Amortisation: The depreciation and amortisation of assets has been increased by 164.27%. The YoY% change indicates that a fall in depreciation rate from 2006 to 2007 which implies either asset sale or write off.  3. Other Selling and Administration Expenses: The selling and administrative expenses have increased by 178.47% since 2003. These expenses have been increasing at a rate more than revenue growth which indicates inefficiency in company’s operations or higher costs of carrying out sales in its respective market.  4. Finance Costs: The finance costs for company’s debt have increased by 354.75%. The YoY% indicates a steady increase in the company’s finance cost which indicates the company’s reluctance to borrow for financing its operating activities.  5. Profit after tax from Operating Activities: The PAT from operating activities has increased by 52.53% in a period 2003-07. However, in the last year it declined and posted a negative growth rate of -12.57% which can be worrying as the company inefficiency in its operations may require careful planning and improvement.  6. Profit after tax
