The poem ‘Musée des Beaux Arts’ presents to the reader a powerful challenge regarding every day life. It reminds the reader of the occasional religious moral guide intended sermons from a reverend. Further the poem could be likened to a moral story or fairy tale that serves to guide or advise the listener or reader. Bearing these images in mind this paper seeks to proof that humans have conditioned themselves to disregard the suffering that seems always to surround them as the surface meaning of the poem in relation to the deep insights on the attitude of complacency and failure to take any responsibility as deftly insinuated by the poet. By combining different painting works as presented in the poem, Auden lets the reader travel through history to the present condition of suffering. In line fourteen and fifteen, it is disillusioning how ‘everything turns away’ from a ‘disaster’ without showing any interests. The aloofness of the very immediate people who should help in the disaster is clear by the words ‘important failure.’ Tragically, they ignore it since to them it does not affect what they are doing therefore it warrants no attention. The ploughman, the herdsman, the fisherman and the crew in the ship seem conditioned to ignore their immediate surroundings. The ‘amazing fall’ and ‘forsaken cry’ in the midst of the quiet green surroundings reflected on the water reveal an irresponsible attitude. This attitude is reinforced by lines one to four through Auden’s casual description of abnormal behaviors. The sun is shining as it should be, the city far off does not even know what happens and the surrounding islands environment is tranquil as ever as it could. By using lines that overlie onto each other, the speaker clearly portrays how suffering occurs in the midst of other good things. This illustrates however that its occurrence changes no course of the others neither does it bother their businesses hence the speaker uses it as an attack against the order of situations. In lines one to four, wisdom is clearly praised in the painting. The Old Masters symbolically refer to older persons with the capacity to guide, foresee and accurately state issues regarding human nature. It’s clear that human nature does not care about suffering as the ploughman at best ignores the shepherd who also plays indifference to the fishermen. The shepherd’s posture is rather comical in his aloofness towards the noisy drowning boy and the ‘expensive’ ship on the waters. The message hits home that humans are interested in only that serves their own personal gain and interests. Effectively the speaker uses the normal eating, opening a window or idle walk scenarios to signify ‘casual indifference’ at the expense of suffering others. As some suffer others prosper in their own thoughts and emotions. A careful observation by Auden thus reveals that good times against bad times or big versus small are never arranged but rather occur spontaneously near each other with no apparent author. As such
Introduction KH healthcare centre has various marketing activities which are aimed at creating awareness among the patients, the workers and the general community. There are number services that are offered to the patients as well as other members. It is therefore necessary to make them aware of what is available for them (Nelson 2008). Product These include books, journals as well as other media such as personal computers that are available for use by the patrons. The hospital website also acts as a source of information to the members of the larger community. Packaging is also part of the product. It is basically aimed at collections attractive. This entails appropriate shelving of the hospital furniture among others (Stavins, 2004). Price Marketing is carried out free of charge. The recipients are not charged. Prices are only charged when delivering the services. Maintaining and promoting the collection is charged and this is always part of the annual budget. Place There are means of conveying information to the medical personnel. The various methods include websites, notices, lobby areas and libraries. These places are fully accessible to the patrons as well as other members. Promotion The collections that are available are provided to the customers. This is aimed at ensuring that they use it as it is intended. It clearly shows haw value can be added and what is there to be offered to the community. The Hospital management is therefore forced to think competitively (Noonan & Savolaine, 2001). KH Healthcare Centre has a marketing plan. The plan includes three groups of people who are part and parcel to the organization. The groups include:   * The hospital health professionals   * The patients and their families in the hospital   * The surrounding community The plan is effective because it takes into consideration all the needs of the groups involved. This ensures that the targeted objectives are attained and that the hospital moves from one level to the other. It is important the needs of the concerned groups are fully met because this is one way of ensuring that the targeted objective is attained (Fottler, 2006). The plan is as follows: Hospital health professionals:   * Schedule meetings with the staff members and setting out agenda for each of the departments   * Meeting personnel in public relations department; this helps in creating additional interest to the message.   * Holding of workshops   * Development of monthly newsletter Patients and the family members within the hospital:   * Keeping the library open to the patients and their family members   * Developing handouts to be given to the patients who have been admitted to the hospital   * Adverting services in common places such as cafeteria and lobby The community members:   * Arranging meeting with public librarians and sharing information with them   * Making appearances in the local TV   * Speaking at civic groups   * Development of di
The article is called “Money on Your Mind.” It is talking about how perceived rewards can adversely affect our rational decision making. Lennick and Jordan (1) start by giving a case study in which a financial investor by the name John Sanders lost about one hundred thousand of the money he could have gained if he maintained his shares in the stock exchange market. The authors understand the causes of making an irrational decision. They explain that, our brain is composed of three different parts each of which is responsible for making a different decision. We have the rational part, emotional, and habit center. In our life, we are exposed to different kind of stories, some good, and some bad. In the event of sad stories, for example, rumors about job retrenchment or redundancy, they get to the emotional brain, which panic and goes under stress. Within a matter of milliseconds they get to the rational brain which is not able to make a rational decision because the emotional mind has already panicked. We start seeing the possibilities of being retrenched and we may even cancel any plans we might have taken such as taking a mortgage or buying a car. The mind is responsible for making financial decision and it is triggered by the messages we receive on the day to day activities. Any good message received will result into a rational decision being made and the opposite is true. Lennick and Jordan (4) explain that, we have two systems in the brain; the danger system and the reward system. The danger system gets activated when we receive news that threatens our survival. When it is activated, it affects the whole body and a person may tend to shake or sweat without even realizing. On the other hand, the rewards system helps us identify and acquire things that we want such as ice scream, chocolate, beautiful cars or a good house. It helps us to admire the things that makes sense in our life or which can make our life more comfortable and develop the desire to acquire them. However, I would like to ask the Lennick and Jordan to explain what happens if we fail to acquire the things we have identified. This is because I have been having so many things that I admire but have not managed to acquire most of them. What happens to the reward or danger system in such a case? I find this article very interesting given that, it e

She seems to be a caring, empathetic individual, with a willingness to turn the world around her into a better place. Aiko is currently in love with Adam but she does not show any interest in marrying him because she is either waiting for Adam to make the first move or wishing that everything would come off perfectly by itself. The Setting The story takes places in Shibuya district, on the 23 rd and the 24 th of December, on the verge of Christmas. Adam and Aiko finally meet and she learns that Adam’s father had died last night.

Their plans to celebrate Christmas together and go to a local KFC restaurant do not come true, as Aiko disconnects her phone and does not let Adam find her. The Plot/Dilemma Adam is a frequent flyer, who is regularly visiting Japan (specifically Tokyo, the Shibuya district) for two special reasons:  1. he is a negotiator, earning money off striking deals with local businesses and  2. his love interest lives in the Shibuya district. Adam’s problem is that being almost 40, he does not have kids and has never been married to anyone. Knowing that his parents are rather concerned with personal life but never actually talk to him about it, he is willingly building a romantic relationship with a young woman named Aiko, whom he wants to become his wife an

Introduction While every country in the world adopted a set of laws and rules that govern the functioning of this country’s society, the specific designs of these systems can be strikingly different. One such example is the legal systems used in Saudi Arabia and the United States of America – the latter being a secular society, and the former basing its laws on Sharia, the religious law derived from the Qur’an. The purpose of the present paper is to explore and evaluate the differences between the two systems by examining the practice of witness confrontation during criminal justice trials. Overview of the Legal Systems The Saudi Arabian legal system is built on Sharia law, the basic Islamic law originating from the Qur’an and the Sunnah of the prophet Muhammad. In particular, the current legal system is based on the Hanbali school of Sunni Islam, as the primary source of guidance for the judges, and it was implemented by King Abd al Aziz in the 1920s. Unlike in other Muslim countries, Sharia has not been codified in Saudi Arabia, meaning that there are no written legal texts outlining the Sharia principles. Since Sharia can be argued to be somewhat open to interpretation, the lack of codification has caused significant uncertainty regarding the laws of Saudi Arabia. However, the judges may also rely on Islamic scholarly work as a source of Sharia, as long as there exists a consensus among the scholars. 1 Modern phenomena such as corporate law and intellectual property are covered by royal decree regulations that supplement Sharia. Apart from that, however, Sharia is still the primary legal source and the Qur’an and Sunnah are considered to be the constitution of Saudi Arabia. The reason why Sharia can serve as a source of law independently from government texts is that it is quite extensive in scope and nature. It covers criminal, family, contractual, and commercial affairs, and it provides precise definitions of crimes ranging from fornication to homicide and highway robbery, as well as specific penalties for all of these crimes. 2 While the Saudi Arabian legal system is defined by its religious nature, the United States system can be best characterized by its extensive bureaucracy. The legal system of the United States is based on several codified and uncodified legal texts, and the primary law of the country is the United States Constitution, which outlines the main governing principles. However, legal texts are not the only source of law in the country, since they also inherited the British common law tradition. The judges do not only apply the law but also make it by offering different interpretations of the existing provisions, thus setting a precedent for future rulings. As far as the “living law” of the society is concerned, it is primarily defined by the state, rather than the federal, legislation. 3 The primary implication of these differences between the American and Saudi Arabian legal systems is what sources need to be examined to explore certain trial issues, such as witness confrontation. In the case of Saudi Arabia, the primary d
The Elements of the Music Curriculum Playing instruments, dancing, singing, listening to music, composing, and improvising is usually associated with the music curriculum and classes. However, these activities as the key elements of the music curriculum can be actively applied in different classrooms without any dependence on the subject. The focus on the listed activities is essential not only for developing skills in music but also for improving students’ knowledge and abilities in different areas because music activities provide individuals with opportunities to enhance their listening skills, attention, reading, memorizing, and even writing among other aspects. It is possible to support the idea that listening to music, singing, and dancing can be used in any classroom. The reason is that listening to music develops students’ skills in recognizing and memorizing words, pronouncing, and audition. As a result, their skills in listening, speaking a foreign language, and reading aloud can improve significantly. Moreover, the results in writing dictations can also improve after using listening to instrumental music and songs. Singing can be used for developing abilities in pronouncing unfamiliar words and memorizing large parts of texts. The technique of using songs is applied when teaching different subjects, and it is attractive to young children. As a consequence, students usually demonstrate better results when performing from memory. Dancing develops individuals’ coordination, attention, as well as the focus on rhythm and tempo. These skills are important when working in laboratories. Therefore, these elements are often used in various curricula in addition to the music one. However, some activities are difficult to be applied while teaching subjects other than music, but they are selected by educators when they want to achieve certain goals using non-traditional methods. For instance, playing instruments is important when it is necessary to develop the motor skills required for improving handwriting or working with small objects during workshops. Composing and improvising are important when it is essential to develop students’ skills in understanding sequences of sounds and following rhythmic patterns. Thus, these key elements of the music curriculum allow educators to make their class activities more personalized and interesting to students. While focusing on an unusual format of a learning activity, students memorize more facts and improve their knowledge. Still, there are also difficulties in using these major elements in different curricula:   * the lack of resources and appropriate materials;   * the lack of skills in educators to organize singing, dancing, and playing instruments with the focus on the course or unit goals;   * students’ unwillingness to participate in these activities because of the lack of motivation. Thus, educators need to pay much atte
Is There an Opportunity Here? Type of Business P’kolino is the company specializing in development and marketing of playroom furniture and toys. The success of this enterprise relies mostly on the uniqueness of their products and effective use of resources. It should be noted that they are going to outsource the manufacturing process to Brazil, which would result in the reduction of expenditures. Need for the Business Due to the fact that the population of the United States is constantly growing, P’kolino has good chances of finding a niche in playroom furniture market. According to their estimations, there are at least thirty million children, whose parents may want to buy furniture as well as toys. Furthermore, there is a growing demand for the products, which would best contribute to physical and mental development of the child, and this is one of the reasons why P’kolino can receive competitive advantage over other firms, working in this area (Bygrave & Zacharis, 2010, p 270). Apart from that, the company that would be able produce both furniture and toys will also have an opportunity to attract customers and win their favor. Thus, there is a great likelihood that, P’kolino may succeed. Target Customers P’kolino is going to target mostly well-educated and well-to-do women, who are very sensitive about the quality of the product, rather than about its price. These are the so-called “concerned” parents who believe that playroom furniture and toys can play an important role in the psychological development of their children (Bygrave & Zacharis, 2010, p 298). Most likely, their age would range from 23 to 30. They will spend a considerable amount of time in order to collect informat
