Archibald MacLeish famously declared in a poem full of meaning that “A poem should not mean/ But be.” The poems of E. E. Cummings commingle meaning and being in one—and none more concretely so than “l (a.” This poem, like most of the Cummings’ other poems, exists, quite meaningfully exists, in both form and content. Indeed, the form both encapsulates and expounds the meaning of the poem. The vision of the poem on the page is a vision that will linger in the minds of readers, turning them into not merely gentle readers but active participant spectators in a multi-sensual experience. Any written discussion of the experience should necessarily be enriched by the sight of this miniature monument in verse, which is reproduced below: l(a le af fa ll s) one l iness The stark meaning of the word ‘loneliness’ cannot be spelled out and illustrated more precisely, more exactly, and more accurately than this and with as much authenticity—with such genuine being and meaning . This is accomplished, first, by the visual form of the content of the poem on the page, arranged by the poet to simulate the shape of a tree, with falling leaves, and with a cluster of fallen leaves at its base. Is there anything in the world as symbolic and expressive of loneliness as the image of a leaf falling from a tree? One moment it had been a vital part of the whole congregation of leaves that make up the living wonder that is the tree—and as that very moment falls into the garbage bin of time past, the dying leaf falls from the rest to rest alone and quite apart from the bed of rotten and rotting leaves at the foot of the tree, before it too becomes rotten and forgotten. A poem exists not merely in the form or shape of words on a page—it has an auditory appeal too. If the protoplasm of this written paper could take on the hyper-reality of hypertext, it would have, nay, it should have forged a link with a reading of the poem by the poet or by some equally gifted speaker of the poem. The supreme power of human imagination can, however, remedy that all and other wants, and even if one were to listen to the sound of the poem with the ear of imagination alone, one could surely hear in the silence of the soul the sound of the letters that make up the bitter-sweet word ‘loneliness’ and the measured enunciation of the phrase “a le af f all s” which, as noted earlier, is the perfect illustration of the feeling and the emotion of loneliness. Finally, because E. E. Cummings is a noted humorist, and because the writer of this essay is a student, it may not be out of place to mention a thought that could extend and expand a student’s appreciation of this idiosyncratic masterpiece. No student—as student per se—experiences a greater sense of loneliness than in the examination hall looking at the piece of blank paper in front of him, and perhaps every student draws courage from the first letters that s/he draws on that blank white page, which invariably resemble in shape the letters that make up the title and the first line of Cummings’ poem, “l(a”: 1 (a).
Introduction To begin with, it is necessary to point out that contemporary organizations can not perform their activity (especially business activity) without properly arranged and effectively adjusted IT network and data communication infrastructure. Originally, it is the very heart of information management, while the information itself is the very key to success. Design of a Network Originally, the creation of any project, associated with the IT sphere and data management strategies corresponds to a particular cycle. Figure 1. Cycle This cycle is an essential part of the data management strategy, as the elimination of any single point of the cycle will completely destroy the data management system. The only difference among these points is the duration of the destruction period. The technical side of the project implementation should look the following:   * Network design. The IT management team is responsible for planning the most efficient way for creating an easily modifiable computer network to meet the company’s specific needs. The all-over solution is intended to be regarded as the most cost-effective approach for meeting the long-term requirements. Moreover, this design should be performed by taking into consideration the possible upgrades and have a flexible structure for quick modifications.   * Cabling. It is regarded to be one of the most time-taking parts of the work. In order to avoid some unforeseen obstacles, alternative cabling plans should be elaborated.   * Network Hardware Management. Originally, it is required for proper wok of the data management system, as it is required for IP allocation, technical maintenance of the allover network, and providing proper work for the IT sphere of the organization.   * Data safety maintenance. For the data communication system to work properly, there is a strong necessity to keep it safe from breakdowns, attacks, and failures Taking into account the necessity to clarify the technical aspect of the network design, it should be stated that Cisco technologies offer one of the most comfortable solutions for IP communication systems. Originally, there are the following advantages: Cisco offers open standards, based on AVVID principles (Architecture for Voice, Video, and Integrated Data). The flexible interoperable migration strategy will allow the It management team to choose the IP Communications solutions that will fit the company’s requirements the best. IP communication technology, powered by Cisco AVVID technologi
Introduction The case, “People Management, The Mantra for Success” is a case on Singhania and Partners’ human resource practices. Singhania and Partners Company offers both full international and national law services. The leading firm in law, Singhania and Partners, is located in India and has commercial and corporate clients in need of law issues. The paper will cover the background information of Singhania and Partners Company and states the problems, issues and opportunities of the company. After identifying the problems and issues that affect the company, the paper will also discuss solutions to the problems affecting Singhania and Partners. Background of Singhania & Partners In 1999, Ravi and his partners established Singhania and Partners Company. The company has more than seventy employees, who are professional and qualified to work in the firm. The firm is located in India and has offices in various towns of India including Hyderabad, Bangalore, Mumbai, Noida and New Delhi. Singhania and Partners has also partnerships with leading companies in various countries that deal with the law (Singhania and Partners LLP, 2011). Problems, Issues and Opportunities Singhania & Partners Singhania and Partners are faced with issues of hiring and retaining talented expertise due to the challenges of competition. There are various law firms in need of talented lawyers. As Singhania and Partners continue growing, there continues to be a shortage of talent. Competition from other law companies also creates a shortage of expertise and therefore creates a challenge in hiring and retaining talent. With expansion internationally through connection with other companies, there is an increased opportunity for more clients to be attracted to the company (Euromoney Institutional Investor PLC., 2011). Solutions to the problems and issues of Singhania & Partners In this period of competition, a firm can only succeed with objectives in place. Some of the mantras for success that can be exercised by Singhania and Partners to have a competitive advantage over other law firms are explained. Singhania and Partners should practice great skills for communication in order to pass accurate information both in written form and orally to employees as well as clients. A law firm should have the negotiation and persuading skills to attract more clients (Goyal, 2008). With proper management skills, duties at Singhania and Partners will be done at the right time.
Introduction It has been mentioned by Cooper in the book titled, The Responsible Administrator that a lack of character is almost like treason for an individual occupying an administrative position (2012). This is because ethical leadership combines both ethical behavior and ethical decision making (Hussein, 2005). For this reason it has been suggested that in order for leaders to possess the ability to effectively manage others, they must first understand how to manage themselves. This suggests a form of self awareness that allows the leader understand how to work with individual strengths and weaknesses to overcome various challenges. This self awareness is supported by habits such as strong personal character, passion to do right, proactive behavior among others (Stennes n.d.).The complication in this scenario implies the Deputy Sheriff should take on the habits of a strong leader to guide the collective bargaining to a safe and satisfactory conclusion for all. Discussion The work of the deputy sheriff thus should entail using a step by step approach to arriving at an ethical decision. It has been observed that the first step in such a decision making process involves stating the problem (Davis, 1999). In this case the issue is concerned with making pay of the deputies equal to what is in the guidelines provided by the county charter. The second step in making an ethical decision on the issue would require that the facts of the issue are evaluated a second time (Davis, 1999). In this regard not choosing and not acting are indecisiveness and as such has consequences (Pgaliana, 2010). It has already been mentioned that delays in acting may lead to some staff joining Law Enforcement Professional Association (LEPA) with far more adverse consequences. Therefore at this stage it would be wise to begin dialogue with the sheriff to inform him of the issue and the role it plays on staff morale. It is also necessary the sheriff is made aware of the fact that considering staff complaints can help increase staff loyalty. The third task to undertake in solving this problem would be to identify relevant factors of the case (Davis, 1999). This stage will involve discussion of issues such as the instructions of the county board to avoid tax increases. Other relevant factors include potential to boosts staff morale and loyalty . Following the identification of relevant factors it becomes necessary to develop a list of options (Davis, 1999). During this stage it is god
Introduction The physical activity comprises any doings that bring about or cause the body to work harder than it does under normal conditions. Physical activity is a description of the activities beyond the daily routine of an ordinary person of standing, sitting, and other slightly straining engagements like walking upstairs. Physical activities are divided into two forms for adults where one is muscle-strengthening activity; while the other is Aerobics. Under normal circumstances, aerobic activities are much moderate, less engaging and vigorous. Physical activity assessment on the other hand is the exact, precise, and reproducible monitoring of the physical activities that an individual or group engages in. The assessment accounts provide a detailed overview of the different methods applied in assessing the physical doings and energy usage of the group or individual. In this case, the choice of evaluation tool is based on the outcome desired from the practice. However, the different evaluation tools vary in accuracy, reactivity, age applicability, gender favorability and acceptability at both the individual or group levels (McElroy, 2001). The target group from which the physical activity assessment report is to be drawn is described below. The group comprises sixty members of a male prison who are of average overweight, between the ages of twenty and sixty-five years and living within the prison premises. Being overweight in general can be referred to as having more body fat than the optimally healthy individual should have (Hoeger & Hoeger, 2009). The objectives of this undertaking are to explain the dissimilarity between physical activity, physical fitness and energy expenditure and discuss the diverse kinds of physical activity assessment tools that can be used. Other objectives of this undertaking are to explain and discuss the strengths and weaknesses associated with the various methods of physical assessment and discuss the strengths and disadvantages of the criteria used for the analysis over the other discussed tools (Hoeger & Hoeger, 2009). Discussion In this study, there are three different dimensions on which the physical activity of the target group will be assessed with regard to. One of them is the frequency of the physical activity that the individual or group undertakes. The frequency of physical activity is the number of times or sessions per week that the subject engages in physical activity. The duration of the
Suicide Ignorance The Prevention Officer’s main role is considered the wrong approach because it does not include the point of view of the locals (Bagnall, 2011). The Prevention Officer assumes that he would be helping people at risk by encouraging them to talk to friends and family. However, this is not a native view about mental health (Silburn et al., 2011). Perhaps, the community prefers not to talk about troubling issues with friends. The officer would have known this if he was in close contact with the community (Westerman & Hillman, 2004). One can also know that the approach is wrong because it did not involve the community’s most relevant health institution; Gidgee Healing. The operations officer of this institution was clearly discontent with the state’s approach, level of funding and commitment (Bagnall, 2011). Additionally, if the officer’s approach was right, then less suicide rates would be reported; the Aboriginal community still has alarmingly high rates of the mental problem (Bagnall, 2011). The problem of suicide is partly historical because of the process of decolonisation that took place after 1972 when governmental control over Aboriginal matters was withdrawn (Silburn et al., 2011). Most of these communities were left with few resources, services or infrastructure to work with. Therefore, they became economically and socially isolated. Many of them found identity and purpose in their families, but when these structures disintegrated, then they became frustrated Aboriginals have also lacked minimal access to education thus making them economically disempowered (Westerman & Hillman, 2004). Persistence deaths in their community have also made many of them stuck in grief (Westerman & Hillman, 2004). Even continuous lack of mentors or support structures has complicated the problem (Silburn et al., 2011). A culturally appropriate way of helping the people of Mt. Isa would be to collaborate with traditional helpers in treatment. Community members can be sensitised about the symptoms of potential suicide and how to deal with the condition. Creation of gatekeepers in the community would also assist in suicide prevention (Westerman & Hillman, 2004) Aboriginal Health Council Celebrating 10 years of community control indicates how empowered Aboriginals have been about their health (Craig, 2011). It shows that members of the organisation have worked with local communities to serve their healthcare needs. Community control implies that health needs are fully understood and accommodated depending on the issues at hand (Northern Territory, 2012). The term “Our health, our choice, our way” implies that medical services can reach Aboriginals in a culturally appropriate way (Craig, 2011). It is also signifies that the health services are accessible and in reasonable numbers in order to provide them with a choice. Additionally, this slogan also denotes
Introduction Frankenstein (also referred to as Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein) is a horror film directed by Kenneth Branagh in 1994 and adopted from a book by Mary Shelly bearing a similar title. In the movie, a young doctor named Victor Frankenstein (Kenneth Branagh) departs from his native land of Geneva to be admitted to a medical school (IMDB, para. 2). At the college, he studies and becomes knowledgeable in human anatomy and in chemistry. The young student has always been fascinated with death, and this leads him to initiate a project to create life. Victor designs a creature with the body parts of convicts and with the brain of a bright scientist. The ‘monster’ (Robert De Niro) comes to life and is thrown into society. The monster then grasps that society will never accept him and seeks revenge on all persons that Victor loves. As the movie ends, Victor is all by himself as all his family members have been killed. Victor then creates a partner for the creature to love; however, due to the pain he is feeling, he opts to use Elizabeth (Helena Bonham Carter) and resurrects her for his benefit. Eventually, Elizabeth kills herself because Victor and the monster are fighting over her. As the film comes to an end, Victor dies on a ship while the monster he created is found crying over his dead body. Victor’s funeral ceremony is interrupted when the ice surrounding the ship starts to crack. The creature takes a burning torch and sets himself and his dead creator, alight. Critical Analysis of the Film Despite having a fine start, Frankenstein fails to quite come off and does not make a good film for a variety of reasons. First is the films’ duration. In slightly more than two hours, the movie feels a little extended. It is wordy, and the speed drops in some scenes. Part of the problem stems from the film’s familiarity. Preparations for Frankenstein’s journey to Vienna, his encounter with Clerval, his disobedience to the medical staff at the school, and his initial experimentations have all been undertaken before. The audience knows where Victor is headed to, and Branagh offers no compelling spins to the storyline. This familiarity stems from the fact that several editions of the movie have been produced before. However, the film becomes more interesting in the second half. Here, Branagh uses elements from the book that have not been included in previous versions of the movie. For instance, the Arctic scenery, the subtle fact that the creature can converse in the human voice and is smart and able to experience pain, the series of events related to William’s death and the creature’s set-up of Justine are all exclusive to the movie, making for an exciting watch. However, for someone who has not watched previous versions of the film nor read Shelley’s book, the movie makes for an interesting watch as a whole. Another unfortunate aspect of the movie is the rapid succession of scenes, considering that the film runs for
Introduction It is difficult to overestimate the importance of romantic relationships for human beings. Indeed, successful romantic connections bring happiness, as well as emotional, financial, and social support (Campbell, Nelson, Parker, & Johnston, 2018). Moreover, building relationships has a significant impact on the development of people’s social skills. In this essay, the analysis of behavior patterns in heterosexual relationships that are common in Western cultures will be conducted. The writing will be based on two psychological theories, namely the script theory and the social learning theory. At the beginning of the paper, brief descriptions of the main ideas of these theories will be provided. This information will be followed by a discussion of the factors that impact the behavior patterns of people in relationships. Then, several models that are common for heterosexual romantic connections will be characterized. The conclusion will summarise the main ideas of the work at the end of the paper. Main body The script theory was created by an American researcher, Silvan Tomkins. His main argument is that people’s behavior can be defined by specific patterns, which are called scripts, and appear as a result of specific situations that happen in humans’ lives. These scripts reside in people’s minds and, when it is necessary, start functioning. Every time, when people face similar scenarios, their brain starts looking for relevant knowledge from memory and uses it to create a model that can predict and affect person’s behavior (Lubarsky, Dory, Audetat, Custers, & Charlin, 2015). The theory is based on the main aspects of the affect theory, which implies the categorization of individuals’ effects that occurred as emotional responses on various impetuses. Thus, the script theory can be applied in an analysis of behavior models that are used by people. As for the social learning theory, it was invented by Albert Bandura, a Canadian-American psychologist, and researcher. The theory is based on the point that all individuals learn through observations of activities performed by other people. It can be fulfilled by people unintentionally when they find individuals who have the same social status and start paying attention to them (Horsburgh, & Ippolito, 2018). According to this theory, observation is one of the best educational tools for human beings in psychology. It is worth noticing that there are some patterns that help individuals to build strong and healthy relationships and patterns that result in the creation of unhealthy connections between people. The first romantic practice impacts the quality of people’s relationships in the future. In Western cultures, this experience usually happens at the time of young adulthood. The results of this practice d
