Advertisement is the means through which a company or an organization tries to endorse its products to the public. Computer advisement, therefore, involves the promotion of computers to the public by making known their advantages and intended benefits one is to get after purchasing it or after using the computer-related service that is advertised. This is done by use of different methods and is intended to cause a rise it the quantity of the services rendered or computers sold. Potential buyers are informed of computers, their uses, and other essential benefits and are persuaded to buy them after being convinced about the need to do so. Advertisement is a very useful tool in the expansion and growth of a company or an organization dealing with computers. There are different ways that computer advertisement can be carried out. They include the use of print media and broadcast among many other forms. In this paper, print and broadcast computer advertisements are going to be tackled. Print advertisement This is a form of advertising that involves the use of print media for example newspapers, magazines, brochures, fliers, and other printed material. By placing advertisements in print media, people can see and get attracted to the new or existing products advertised, get attracted to them and also go ahead and spend money to purchase the goods or services (Management Study Guide p. g 1). This is especially important when advertising computers. Although this is a very effective way of advertising, it also requires a lot of arrangement and preparation by a group of creative experts. This is because for any advertisement to attract enough attention from people and cause them to use their money to acquire the advertised products, it has to be appealing and convincing enough. Purchasing of the advertised computers may not be immediate, but once potential buyers learn about the presence of the computers in the market, they may find themselves buying it at a later date. The use of pictures and words to bring out the special features in any given computer and types of computers is therefore crucial in this type of advertisement because people have to see to be persuaded to buy them. This type of advertisement can also be very costly. Putting an ad in a newspaper, for example, is charged depending on the size and even where its place. Big sized advertisements tend to attract more attention, but on the other hand, they are more expensive. It is also costly because placing an advert just once is not enough, but there should be consistency in advertising. Print advertisement, therefore, becomes an essential source of income for the media offering this service (Wheeler, p. g 1). It can be particularly useful to use big pictured computer advertisement to capture the attention of potential buyers because though this is a bit expensive, it is more rewarding in the long run. Another form of print media that deals with individuals direct
Introduction Poverty is a major global scourge affecting billions of people around the world. Both developed and developing countries experience poverty-related problems. According to research on world demography, there are over three billion people who survive on less than $2.50 a day around the world. This population represents almost half of the world population. Additionally, the GDP of approximately forty seven poor countries is less than the wealth owned by seven richest countries in the world. These statistics clearly illustrate how inequality in resource distribution among nations has continued to affect the living standards of people. In understanding the concept of poverty, it is important to double emphasize the fact that poverty cuts across the global screen, ranging from Africa to America through the Arab world. In other words, it is a problem that almost every nation tries to address continuously (Rosen & Gayer, 2010). Based on the negative impact of poverty, there is no doubt that the wish of every leader is to combat this scourge permanently in order to raise the living standards of people. As such, there are preventive programs which have been adopted in most countries. This report discuses some of the poverty prevention programs that have been adopted by Saudi Arabia and the United States in dealing with a global problem, threatening the lives of billions of people around the world. A part from principally focusing on preventive programs, the report further synthesizes causes of poverty in the two countries together with the economic impact of the proposed measures programs. Poverty in Saudi Arabia When most people think about Saudi Arabia, majority are usually clouded with the assumption that the country must be extremely rich based on the fact that it is the world’s leading oil producer. Saudi Arabians are therefore associated with wealthy living standards characterized by latest American cars, high level of technology, designer brands and fashion and innumerable high class malls around the country (Rosen & Gayer, 2010). This school of thought carries a lot of weight even though the living standards for most Saudi Arabians contradict it. It raises the question of how the country benefits from petroleum products widely spread in the country. Can this be used to raise the living standards of millions of its people languishing in poverty? Due to the presence of oil in the country like in most Arabic nations, a good number of Saudi Arabians understand the meaning of living a decent lifestyle. The government has significantly invested in fighting poverty by initiating programs that aim at alleviating the life of its people (Ramady, 2010). Both healthcare and education are given free of charge to Saudi Arabians by the government. However, history has continuously registered low enrollment in education institutions, leading to a higher rate of illiteracy in the country than one would expect. Moreover, all Saudis who have attained the age of adulthood are entitled
When processing a physical crime scene, investigators must first secure the area to ensure that everyone is safe by arresting suspects and isolating the location. Thereafter, witnesses should be separated, to prevent collaboration on a common story. The third step involves scanning the scene to identify the primary part and the secondary one. Investigators should capture photographs of the overall area, close-ups, and items identified during the scan (Girard, 2017). During this stage, evidence markers and rulers are used for reference. Thereafter, a sketch of the scene is made to ensure it can be recreated elsewhere. The search for evidence that may have been overlooked during the initial scan is conducted to ensure the investigation is thorough. Lastly, the physical evidence is secured and collected through techniques that prevent damage. The evidence is logged onto an evidence log and marked with an evidence label. The label has a chain of custody where any person who accesses the evidence indicated to ensure it is admissible in a court of law. The processing of an electronic crime scene should involve the identification of the information about the devices at the scene. This includes the people involved, sequence of events, timing, and location. It should occur before the electronic devices found are even touched. The investigators must maintain the power status of the device, whether a mobile phone or computer (Girard, 2017). The collection of the physical media where the digital evidence is located should be done, with minimal alteration to the condition of the device. Professionals can thereafter acquire the data inside the electronic devices and preserve the device and data in a secure storage. The analysis of the data acquired from the electronic devices follows to generate evidence for legal proceedings. The data enables the reconstruction of the incident under investigation.

Introduction For learners who are studying English as a second language, it is important to know the vocabulary. Firstly, it is essential to develop the vocabulary to understand other people and correctly interpret their words. Secondly, it is useful to increase the lexicon because it will help to convey information correctly and accurately. Summary and Assessment Thus, a study was conducted where the vocabulary knowledge of English of 92 students in Saudi Arabia was investigated. Two tests, ‘Eurocentres’ and ‘XK_Lex’, were applied in order to obtain a reliable result. The research showed that students need to learn English in order to speak on their own, as their current vocabulary averages 2,000 to 3,000 words when they enter university and up to 5,000 words after graduation. However, if the testing is critically evaluated, the disadvantages include only a male sample and two university levels. Additionally, both examinations use the Yes/No technique, which does not accurately evaluate students’ knowledge (Milton & Al-Masrai, 2012). It is also essential to perceive that students must choose in 10 minutes only from 100 words they know, so there is a high opportunity to guess. Response to the Presentation Vocabulary level is indeed directly related to the ability to speak a foreign language. However, it is not easy to make large-scale conclusions based on two tests and a male sample from two universities. The topic of the study is highly relevant and valuable, so more methods should have been applied, and more students should have participated (Milton & Al-Masrai, 2012). In general, the article’s expectations and conclusions coincide and help identify the problematic points, but their scale is not enough to fully assess the situation. Conclusion The article is essential to read because it helped assess the progress in language learning at different universities. This is a key point at a time when foreign languages have become a necessity for everyone. The results have shown that despite the high vocabulary level, some problems, such as lagging behind the academic standards, are still evident in the universities and colleges in Saudi Arabia. Identifying these obstacles will stimulate developments in the curriculum and changes in some of the admission requirements. Reference Milton, J., & Al-Masrai, A. (2012).

What makes our life significant and meaningful? Every day we interact with a lot of people who influence our life greatly. Moreover, we are also able to affect the world around us while communicating or working. Thus, we often meet those people who can change our life. Is it possible to name them ‘heroes’? Why do we consider these people as ‘heroes’? Where is the difference between an ordinary person and a hero? It is important to accentuate the fact that the notion of ‘hero’ can have various meanings for different people. However, you always notice the moment when an ordinary person changes your life for better with his actions, and you start thinking of him as a hero. Hero is a person who can be well-known because of his great achievements or be an ordinary man who plays one of the main roles in your life because of his great human qualities and talents. The difference of the definitions depends only on your personal perception of this individual’s significance for your life. To speak about a definite person as a hero, it is necessary to think of those significant traits which you value in people and the fact whether these traits are shared by your hero. In spite of the difference in the immensity of heroes’ actions, there is the quality which determines these people among others. It is their readiness to help those persons who need this help and their ability to follow their way in life in spite of the public’s stereotypes. People are inclined to discuss someone’s actions as heroic when they go beyond the typical everyday behavioral scenarios and are directed toward the other people’s needs. To be able to act against the public’s expectations, but in order to achieve the noble goals, heroes should have certain personal traits. The range of these traits can be various because every person creates the image of an ideal hero according to his or her considerations developed under the influence of literature, media, and real situations. However, many people agree that a hero should be courageous, generous, strong, and wise. The name of an Australian man James Harrison is well-known in his native country among young mothers and in the medical sphere. This man of 75 years old has presented the opportunity to live in this wonderful world to more than two million babies who suffered from Rhesus disease. James Harrison is an ordinary person who dedicated his own life to saving the lives of millions babies. He is a donor, and he has a rare kind of blood with specific antibodies which are used for developing a special vaccine. His heroism is in the fact that every several weeks since the age of eighteen he gives his blood in order to save babies’ lives and presents the chance for joy to their mothers. Once
The case studies the presentation of how a member of five years for the newly merged Goldberg, Choo, and McKay Associates faces the challenges of virtual team working. The study is focused on the actions of members of the Shipping Industry Accounting Team that caused discontent of the company and misunderstanding between members. Before merging with two other companies in order to shape Goldberg, Choo, and McKay Associates, Mckay and open offices all over the United States, Sanderson and Smith Associates was a midsize firm. Four people from different states formed The Shipping Industry Accounting Team to joint monthly reports, “leveraging the synergy of their collective knowledge” (Ziegler 88). According to McShane and Glinow, “teams are groups of two or more people who are interacting, influencing each other, and existing to fulfill a purpose or common goal in a workplace” (226). Teams are usually more effective than one person in the case when they have to perform intricate tasks (for instance, in the building industry). I consider this is virtual team since the communication between members was implemented by the Internet and phone. In my opinion, creating such a team was necessary in order to connect all offices, providing them timely with significant information and making decisions that would suit all branches of the company. However, some location and communication challenges appear in performing this task as none of the members participated in a virtual team before. The team effectiveness model suggests the following five C’s model of team competency and problems (Nollkamper 135):   * Cooperating means accommodating others and sharing resources. In the Goldberg, Choo, and McKay Associates, the work ethic was not identified that created dissatisfaction between members. There was a great time waste when they resolved different documentation procedures. The use of diverse codebooks (everybody except Bred uses email) along with poor medium problem (the requirement of unified submission) caused communication difficulties.   * Coordinating. “Task interdependence needs direction and leadership” that was missing (Kirkman et al. 70).   * Communicating suggests the correct and timely understanding of ideas and tones that might be misinterpreted in the email. It was hard to coordinate due to cohesion and lack of certain norms (Brad infrequently answered emails; members of the team never met each other).   * Comforting was not present in the team. According to Kurtzberg, “tolerance, optimism, and creativity are the primary tools of support for the team” (84).   * Conflict resolving that was not presented complicated working environment. “The secret of team success is that there is no “I” in it,” claims Leonard (370). Nevertheless, the strong point is that these four pe
The completion of the NUR 456 professional practice project was a personal success. The coursework objectives and requirements were achieved in the project. The results of the project were applicable to personal nursing practice and learning. The following is a self-evaluation of the project assignment and it shows how the objectives of the project were achieved. Success in achieving objectives The project required that data be collected from diverse resources and this objective was achieved. It was also possible to relate evidence-based research, to provide patients with up-to-date global statistics information about hypertension management. The project allowed the discussion of hypertension management based on current research findings. Another requirement that was fulfilled is the use of theoretical nursing framework model that related to hypertension management, which was readily applied in the project. The project also made it possible to achieve the personal objective of providing educational sessions on hypertension and classes were organized for patients before they were discharged. The second set of objectives was based on the evaluation of patients’ hypertension knowledge coupled with how to provide information regarding the management and diagnosis of the same. These objectives were achieved in the project. The project allowed assessment of hypertension patients to identify and evaluate their knowledge in order to find out information about the kind of help or accommodation needed upon patient discharge to prevent relapse. This requirement was met accordingly and the project enabled the creation of the notion that patients had inadequate information regarding their condition. The second part of this set of objectives was also achieved as patients were provided with insight information on hypertension management that was useful after discharge. In the third set of objectives, the patients’ culture, language, and ease of learning was assessed. The project enabled the interaction with patients from different cultural backgrounds, which promoted the personal understanding for dealing with such patients. I was also able to employ empathy when caring for patients with language barriers and I used an interpreter during the project to make patients feel relaxed. The other objective that was to be fulfilled was the use of simple words to help patients’ understanding and in the process of divulging information. The giving of information on hypertension during the project was made easy by diagrams and nurses were trained on how to use simple terms during treatment. The fourth set of objectives was centered on
It is no secret that the 21st century is a time of globalization. People can now move freely all around the world, and because of this, there is more interaction between different cultures and nations. Although some fear that globalization will have a negative effect on cultural identity, I believe that certain aspects of human psychology could help to preserve cultural identities within multi-cultural communities, while globalization itself could be beneficial for the modern world. Like any other socio-economic trend, globalization has raised a lot of concerns in different countries. For example, Mike Collins discusses the effects that globalization has on local communities, the economy, and nature. He states, “Multinational corporations are accused of social injustice, unfair working conditions (including slave labor wages, living and working conditions), as well as the lack of concern for the environment, mismanagement of natural resources, and ecological damage” (Collins sec. 3). Other cons of globalization that he notes include a lack of jobs in developed countries, the risk of technology stealing, increased child labor, and the spreading of diseases such as HIV/AIDS (Collins). Valadbigi and Ghobadi argue that “globalization is a new version of colonialism which not only increases vulnerability and interdependency of the developing world but also widens the existing gaps between the rich and poor countries” (sec. 1 par. 13). However, they also describe that whereas national identities get weaker due to migration, “The individuals try to adopt creative lifestyles and succumb to the traditional tools of identity-making to get rid of the crises of identity” (sec. 6, par. 3), meaning that cultural identities become more important and valued. From my experience, I can confirm that this is true. I know a few people who moved to live or to study in other countries. In each case, they soon felt nostalgic for their native communities and tried to address their feelings by celebrating traditional holidays, finding other immigrants from their countries, spreading awareness of their native cultures across their new community, and so on. They became a lot more involved in their country’s traditions than the majority of people who still lived there. In this way, globalization indeed supports cultural identity instead of destroying it. But this does not mean that immigrant communities are alienated from local people. For example, it is a common practice in many European universities to hold culture-themed celebrations and events, where people from different cultural backgrounds can connect with one another. Such a cultural
The world got astonished by the attack during the Boston marathons last week. A huge number of people had turned up looking forward to a great day in the world of sports, fans had dressed in various colors and gamblers had already put bets on who was to win. No one was prepared for a terrorist attack except for the police, who were there to keep peace but who were not expecting a thing to go wrong. Sniffer dogs were everywhere but the terrorist or the group of terrorists managed to trick all the enforcers of peace. The first round was okay, and fans were busy humming, cheering Capella in jubilation. The atmosphere was filled with an aura of happiness just before the unexpected happened. The first blast spread panic among people around, while the second signified hysteria; people started to run helter-skelter, and it was upon the emergency workers to save the day. The police tried to push the crowd away from the sight, while the doctors in all hospitals dropped their appointments to cater for the many affected by these terrible blasts. The firefighters took their trucks with a mission to rescue those affected. Sirens could be heard as the ambulances were driving fast towards the sight ready to ferry the injured to the awaiting doctors. The military also joined in trying to usher the crowd away from the sight and give way to the firefighters. However, people got confused and critical time was wasted during the operation. When one of the soldiers was interviewed, he stressed on public education in regards to ‘how to act when faced with an emergency.’ The soldiers resorted to tearing down the fence to give way for the estranged crowd. Bodies and body parts were scattered all over the place, the injured could be heard moaning in pain. Mothers didn’t know where their children were and vice versa. Some emergency workers who had quickly arrived for the rescue operation were also affected, since their families included those who had attended the celebrated event. “As much as these emergency workers are professionally trained, it does not stop them from being human” (Kalman 122). They are just men and women who have dedicated their lives to save others. Resources were a major challenge; as much as the paramedics were prepared to give first aid to the injured, there weren’t enough ambulances on the site. It was also reported that in one of the hospitals a doctor was handling more patients than it was allowed. Thus, the government should think about increasing the number of medics. The bomb squad didn’t have enough equipment to find the cause of the blast or to prevent another. Most people at the scene
