Luke Combs is an American country music singer and songwriter. He was born and raised in North Carolina and started performing when young at Carnegie Hall. In his latest concert done on 18 February 2021, Combs chose live stream due to the current pandemic that limits public gatherings. However, this was a repetition of a show similar to the earlier one in a COVID-19-free country in 2020. Popper indicates that Luke Albert Comb’s musical inspiration emanates from his surroundings and his life. He demonstrates that it is through his music that the majority of his listeners and fans receive inspiration (9). Music is an influential and powerful tool that can influence people across the world through emotions. The instruments used in the concert included guitars, a keyboard, Yamaha drums, and violin, enhancing the musical atmosphere. Crothers states that by singing along and cheering, Combs sounds inspirational to listeners (3). The audience is heard and seen applauding him whenever he makes important notes concerning his songs. Before starting any song, Luke Combs explains his message to the world and states how his music can change someone’s life. This justifies how he developed into the kind of man his parents anticipated. Combs elaborates on how a musician should write a song that benefits the community. Additionally, the incorporation of musical instruments makes music enjoyable to listen to. The audience attending the concert included online subscribers as well as the audience at the hall. People were impressed by Comb’s performance, and the celebration on both sides was felt through ululations and online messages, respectively. Orosz states that a large number of people globally love country music (50). The entire concert was accomplished through a combination of songs such as ‘When It Rains It Pours,’ ‘Loving on You,’ and ‘Forever After All.’ People find entertaining and educative concerts exciting, therefore, Luke Combs’ audience could not get enough of his songs; they always wanted him to keep singing, as heard from the background. Orosz indicates that the more Combs sang, the more exciting and entertaining his music became (49). When someone feels they have not had enough music, there are moments when it can be considered medicine to the soul. Additionally, having an audience who understands song lyrics works well for performers. Involving people in singing along made the entire concert enjoyable. Luke’s audience sang with him during the concert, hence, motivating him to keep entertaining. There were moments when Combs could let the audience sing along, and then he picked up at a certain point (Combs). The entire live stream sounds better and better until the end. Luke Combs should be considered an example to other country music artists, as introducing the audience to sing-along action reduces boredom and monotony througho
The case study at hand presents an environmental issue involving the Makah tribe that had hunted whales over two thousand years until the 1920s when this practice had to be discontinued due to the decline of the gray whale population (Coté 13). At present, the tribe wants to resume its practices, claiming that the inability to hunt whales negatively impacts young men’s sense of discipline. Researching deeper into the case, it was discovered that this intention faced protests on behalf of numerous animal protection groups including the Progressive Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) and the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society (Stevens 111). Both organizations believe that the tribe kills animals for commercial purposes as the whale meat is not vital for their survival, which the Makah tribe denies (Bunting 12). Thus, the moral issues involved in the case are:   * whether it is legal to forbid the tribe to hunt whales provided that hunting takes fewer than five whales permitted by law to kill (Khoury 301);   * if the tribe’s food provision and the discipline of young hunters indeed depend on whale hunting;   * whether cultural traditions provide sufficient ground for killing animals. The parties involved include:   * the members of a Native American tribe that were involved in whale hunting for more than two thousand years, which makes them claim that this tradition has become indispensable to their culture (Brigham 245);   * whales that cannot protect their rights for survival;   * animal protection organizations that disapprove of hunting even for cultural purposes since overhunting results in a sharp decline of the whale population;   * the government of the United States that has placed these animals on the list of endangered species, thereby halting hunting activities (Tweedie 24). If we analyze the situation in terms of its utility, it becomes evident that no one benefits from hunting except the Makah tribe. Although it is quite profitable to sell whale fat, it may result in the total extinction of these creatures, which the government should prevent by all means. Moreover, even within the tribe itself, there are people who realize that killing whales is unreasonable since people managed to survive throughout the 20 th century without whale meat. They believe that pride and discipline can be instilled by
Executive Summary In this report, normalization is discussed as well as applied to the current database. The results of this normalization are also discussed. In addition, an analysis of the future software is done, which is mainly a database analysis procedure. This report concludes that the IT-Inventory application should be based on a normalized database such as the one that results after normalizing the current database. The report also concludes that the database analysis done on the future software is effective for analyzing the IT-Inventory application. Introduction Normalization guarantees the future growth as well as expansion of a relational database. Normalization is a relational database design activity undertaken to eliminate three common anomalies associated with poor relational database design, namely, modification, insertion and deletion. The first anomaly results in erroneous data in the relational database due to lack of consistency in modification of the data. The second anomaly results in an inability to enter new and needed data into the relational database due to incorrect fields and faulty relationships among the database’s relations. The third anomaly results in unwanted loss of needed data through deletion due to poorly constructed relations. Discussion Normalizing the current database to the third normal form (3NF) results in a total of nine tables in the database, namely, Machine, Machine description, Employee, Company branch, Department, Purchase order, Supplier, Employee & Department and Employee & Machine. Since they are normalized to 3NF, the tables do not exhibit repeating groups, functional dependencies and transitive dependencies (Mendes, n.d, 1). System ERD An entity-relationship diagram (or ERD) shows the entities that make up a relational database, their attributes and the relationships between them (About.com). Discussing the schema Company branch The Company branch table holds information on the company’s branches. The branch code field is the only candidate key and thus, it is also the primary key. This field captures the unique identification assigned to a branch of the company. The secondary key in this table is the branch name. In the table, the primary key is Company branch code; this is the only candidate key since branch name is not guaranteed to be unique. There will be one branch name per branch code. This means that Branch Code functionally determines every other attribute in Company branch table; therefore, there are no repeating groups and thus the first normal form is met (Mendes, n.d, 1). There is a single simple candidate key, which is the primary key as well; therefore, no partial dependencies are possible. Branch name cannot be used to functionally determine any other attribute in the table since two company branches may have the same name; and thus the second normal form is met (Mendes, n.d, 1). There is only one secondary key in the table, thus, transitive dependencies do not exist and thus the table meets the 3NF. Department The Department table holds information o
Introduction In a 2019 overview of the fatality rates in the United States, while teenagers drove less compared to all but the oldest people, the number of deaths and crashes associated with them were disproportionately high. By comparison, between 16 and 19 years, the number of fatal crash rates was three times more than crash rates among drivers over twenty years (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, n.p.). Furthermore, the risks of such fatal crashes and deaths were reportedly highest in teenagers aged between 16 and 17 years. With the understanding established, Fritscher argues that, among various reasons, teens should be allowed to drive because it plays a fundamental role in teenage development. The purpose of the essay is to compare, therefore, and contrast the rhetorical elements associated with whether the states should raise the legal driving age to 18. While teenage development is vital in growing up, it does not compare to the risks associated with teenage driving. Hence, the states should raise the legal driving age to 18. Main body Fritscher on Reasons why teens should drive shows that despite research showing the risks that come with teenage driving, the majority of the people in the U.S. consider teen going an essential element of life. By 16, getting a driver’s license is regarded as a rite of passage in the majority of the states in the U.S. (Fritscher, n.p.). In the understanding by Erik Erikson, developmental theorist, this rite of passage contributes to discovering the identity and plays a fundamental role in teenage development. Teenagers require space to break away from their parents, develop personal values and morals, and spend time with their peers (Fritscher, n.p.). While some metropolitan regions in the U.S. have excellent public transport systems, most similar areas do not and thus, require teenagers to drive i
Thesis revised People learn more about the horrors of war through literature but do not infer from experience they gain; the only way they apply the knowledge about the war is the development of more sophisticated weapon to kill people. As such, literature can be considered one of the most effective ways to reflect the war in terms of reasons, results, stories of people and their families, feelings and emotions, actions and virtues. Does the war help people to understand the values of life and demonstrate their virtues? I would like to review the works of literature the authors of which managed to show how horrible the war is so that successive generations did not want to solve the conflicts in this way. The war is one of the most widely-spread and talked-about concepts of the contemporary society. The history should not be forgotten; it has to be reflected in literature for other people to learn the examples and know how destructive the mankind can be. The relations between the people during the war were not clear, especially regarding the World War II when the concept of racism was advanced in terms of treating people rather than their skills, virtues, or features. In this respect, many people try to listen only to the stories about brave men who can come to rescue. However, in the beginning of the book The Complete Maus: Maus I – A Survivor’s Tale; Maus II – And Here My Troubles Began by Art Spiegelman, the father tells the author: “It would take many books, my life, and no one wants anyway to hear such stories” (14). The images of mice use to depict Jews are bright and lively showing how horrible the war is in spite of the fact that people do not like to hear true storues. The responsibility is a concept that has li
Housing is the physical structures or shelters in which humans live. It is a basic human need that we need to live a comfortable life. However, many countries even in the developed world are not able to give housing and its accompanying facilities to its citizens, leaving them living as squatters with no permanent residence or making them opt for informal settlements with no provision of basic amenities like toilets and sewer system ( United Nations Demographic Yearbook review, 2004). The problem is acute in the under developed countries with majority of people who move from rural to urban areas in search of informal employment ending up in the slums. Housing is a social issue that is always contained in the economic blueprints of different countries, however, the cost of buying a house is high and people who get locked out of the financing avenues available end up in substandard structures or condemned to squatter life. Technology literacy gives the students the knowledge they need to fully understand the topic. This does not mean that other learning methods cannot give them the desired knowledge, but housing is a rapidly changing issue and it takes different methods in different regions. Various methods unique to a social setting are used to give housing facilities. Internet use as a resource base to students enables them to get access to a huge information base. This makes them easily draw comparisons and address gaps in the housing sector. It also opens their mind to other ideas available in tackling housing issues by analyzing online case studies and propose solutions if need be ( United Nations Demographic Yearbook review, 2004).

Introduction The Responsibility to Protect (R2P) concept can be defined as a revolutionary program in its attempt to introduce ethics and moral values in the international arena. The paradigm intends to call for the principal issues of the world order, including violent conflicts, human rights, and sovereignty. As Evans states, the world witnesses the emergence of “a new international norm, one that may ultimately become a new rule of customary international law with really quite fundamental ethical importance and novelty in the international system.” (Evans, 2006:704) The introduction of the R2P to international politics creates new moral and ethical values for states to follow rather than an alternative perception of international politics tackling national interests (Cooper and Kohler, 2009). According to the ICCS report, the compelling normative claim that all individuals have inalienable human rights has spread far and wide after the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and “the ideas embodied in the declaration have become the weapons that the powerless have mobilized against the powerful.” (International Development Research Center, 200:134). While interpreting this phrase, the R2P is perceived equivocally, particularly by those developing countries who consider this program as a threat to national sovereignty. The concept is based on several responsibilities and principles. Apart from protecting states from crimes against humanity and war crimes the International Community is also responsible for assisting the state in protecting its citizens in case it is unable to do it (Saxer, 2008:2). In addition, the Responsibility to Protect concept allows the International forces to intervene in a state, in case it explicitly demonstrates its reluctance to protect citizens from mass atrocities (Ibid:3). Judging upon the above, the R2P concept argues for the necessity to establish a political agreement between nation-states who are obliged, either diplomatically or coercively, to secure their citizens from crimes against humanity and genocide. However, this paradigm has certain cornerstones and adversities which are not easy to overcome. In particular, the concept aims to reconcile two contradicting concepts of international law: human rights and sovereignty. The conflicting situation may arise when the state demands immunity from intervention premised on long-termed principles of national sovereignty (Evans, 2006). In this paper, I will consider the scope and essence of the Responsibility to Protect. More importantly, we will argue that the Responsibility to Protect paradigm should not be regarded as a threat to national sovereignty, but rather as a right to interfere with state affairs in case the state is unwilling to protect its citizens from serious human rights breaches. We will articul
Introducing the Main Issues and Problems Drawn From the Case The case under analysis discloses the problem of the working team’s reluctance to undertake shifts in company’s hierarchy. In particular, Alpha Plantations, an oil palm processing company has long been under stringent control of Mr. Ang whose non-compromising authority did not let the managing staff take any responsibility for daily operations (Hassan and Thivagar, 2002, p. 630). Taking excessive control over the company’s members and hierarchical company’s structure does not provide a favorable ground for achieving performance improvement. In other words, the power and influence of line authority has been overestimated and situation needs changes to re-direct the managers’ obligations. Aforementioned problems with hierarchical company’s culture and improper distribution of responsibility are not the only ones contributing to the recession of company’s profitability. Particularly, Mr. Davison’s survey has also revealed that lack of proper information deployment among the company’s members also engrosses the performance potential. Lack of communication among the departments hampers better cooperation that contributes negatively to the production process. Theories, Approaches and Concepts Relevant for Solving the Problems in the Case In order to understand the power of authority and its negative impact on company’s performance, it is necessary to conceive the questions of power, delegation, and authority. On the one hand, one should admit that the concept of authority is influential in the sphere of management. In particular, it enables the managerial stuff to control performance and exact obedience. On the other hand, the concept of authority can differ greatly. In the case at issue, this position is taken from negative viewpoint, because Mr. Ang’s overwhelmed authority influences personal preferences and deprives the working team of any initiatives on the production process. Being in charge of company’s activities, Mr. Ang’s should also worry about the employees’ development and ability to adjust to changes. Due to the fact that the concept of authority involves such traits as credibility, transparency, and legitimacy, the latter two are missing in this particular case. Transparency and communication deficiency is another gap to be fulfilled. Due to company’s ignorance of the main shifts in company’s performance and management, the working team was largely dependent on Mr. Ang’s orders. In order to solve the problem under consideration, it is necessary to resort to the motivation theories that cast the light on problems correlated with psychological contract. With regard to the case, Mr. Ang has failed to consider his employee’s expectations, attitudes, and preferences in work. At the same time, the excessive power and leadership will make it challengeable for people to get accustomed to a new company’s culture, which has led to further losses of performance
Increasing Profitability by Expanding Employees’ Access to Social Media Since the main mission of RL Solutions lies in enhancing the security and safety of our clients integrating a healthier environment, the availability of social media is vital for expanding the company’s influence inside the country and beyond. Therefore, employees should have wide access to the web to forecast consumer’s demands and advertise our products online, which is also a part of supply chain management. Benefits of Expanding Employees’ Access to the Web:   * RL Solutions departments have been working on software for more than 15 years 1 . Therefore, allowing employees to work in the sphere of public relations can solve the problem of the availability of our products. In particular, they can have a possibility of conducting surveys and researches when visiting such popular social networks as Facebook and Twitter.   * The company should realize that online social network is a powerful source of information about consumer’s demands and preferences. Because our company seeks to meet these demands, using online space is vital for sustaining a competitive advantage over other companies.   * Employees can also be encouraged to create online communities for consumers within the social media platforms that can allow the corporate affairs department to keep track of the consumers’ demand. For instance, apart from the official websites, online sites could be created as a part of online communication within which consumers can leave feedback concerning the quality of the company’s products.   * Using social networks can be beneficial in terms of greater e-learning opportunities for employees 2 .   * Social media is among the most popular sources of inquiry. Both managers and their subordinates can easily adjust to change in the consumer environment by evaluating fashion and the needs of online users.   * Because our company’s value consists in making the employed environment a better place, it is also possible to survey the community demands through online questionnaires as well. In addition to the benefits presented above, integrating social media systems can be beneficial in terms of technological development. Living in the era of globalization should encourage innovation and change. Email to Employees against Social Media Use during the Company Time The Department of Client Excellence, the Communication Coordinators, wants to inform you that all employees are not allowed to use social media during the working time. Both the CEO and our communication team has made this decision because the company members sho
