Summary Business enterprises and organizations can hardly operate securely in the absence of registered securities. In any case, registration of security interests remain as the most vital means of managing credit risks in any business environment. Companies that operate without registering their security interests are similar to creditors who are not secured at all. The latter argument is hinged on the fact that there are instances when a debtor may be liquidated. 1 Worse still, a debtor may be declared bankrupt. In the event of such occurrences, a company that has not registered its security interest is highly likely to be affected in the same magnitude as the debtor. On the other hand, creditors who are secured have the least risk of losing their resources bearing in mind that their resources will be restored after the distribution of assets or when the payment process is completed. Needless to say, there are some jurisdictions that have made it legally mandatory for creditors to register their security interests so that clients who rely on them are not affected by the downfall of single or multiple debtors. At this point, it is vital to highlight the broad meaning of a security interest. When a personal or corporate property is bought on hire purchase or other valid credit terms, a security interest is inevitably created in that particular property. This also applies when either a personal or corporate property is used as collateral to secure a credit facility. Hence, the interest obtained from the property used to acquire a credit facility is referred to as a security interest. A security interest can be created by two distinct parties. These are the secured party and the grantor. Registration systems of security interests As already mentioned, registration of security interests is a vital undertaking that any other company is advised to put into consideration. Nonetheless, the system of registration used is also a critical area of discussion since each system has its own merits and shortcomings. 2 Regardless of the system used, both the pros and cons should be put into consideration. The system with the least economic burden and risks should definitely be chosen. In addition, it is also worth to mention that the processes of filing and registration may not necessarily perfect all types of security systems. In terms of registration of security interests, particulars are usually lodged while the individual security instruments are often filed. On the overall, there are two types of systems that are used to register security interests. These are the registration systems involving a certain asset and also a registration system for
Introduction Poetry has always been my favorite form of literature because of poets’ ability to express large ideas in short and melodic pieces of writing. Even if a poem is written in white verse, it still has a sense of rhythm and musicality that prose will always lack. Naomi Shihab Nye is one of my favorite poets whose works are filled with sincerity, simplicity, and, at the same time, the depth of ideas hidden between the lines. Inspiration Piece Naomi Shihab Nye, “Where Children Live” Homes where children exude a pleasant rumpledness, Like a bed made by a child, or a yard littered with balloons. To be a child again one would need to shed details Till the heart found itself dressed in the coat with a hood. Now the heart never goes outside to find something to “do.” And the house takes on a new face, dignified. No lost shoes blooming under bushes. No chipped trucks in the drive. Grown-ups like swings, leafy plants, slow motion back and forth. While the yard of a child is strewn with the corpses Of bottle-rockets and whistles, anything whizzing and spectacular, brilliantly short-lived. Trees in children’s yards speak in clearer tongues. Ants have more hope. Squirrels dance as well as hide. The fence has a reason to be there, so children can go in and out. Even when the children are at school, the yards glow with the leftovers of their affection, the roots of the tiniest grasses curl toward one another like secret smiles. (Nye, n.d.). Background The poem “Where Children Live” was created in 1982, and it is one of many pieces Naomi Shihab Nye wrote for or about young individuals. The author’s parents come from different cultures, so her childhood was culturally diverse and rather interesting (“Naomi Shihab Nye,” n.d.). As Nye confesses, her main source of writing has always been local life, ordinary people, and their history. Critics describe Nye as being “international in scope and internal in focus” (“Naomi Shihab Nye,” n.d., para. 2). The theme of childhood is one of the most prominent in the poet’s literary career. The audience loves Nye’s readiness to accept various religions, cultures, and traditions. My Art Piece My Sweet Second Home The second home of my childhood Was the place where my grandparents lived. We used to visit them every week – at least! – once a week. The air was different there, so clear and sweet and charming, And fairy-tales seemed to pervade the whole house and the yard. My grandparents were simple, hardworking people Who taught my sister and me to do so much with our hands: We learned how to look after animals and work in the field, But most of all, we learned how to be decent people. Granny would take us to church and show how to pray, Grandpa would give us rides on his tractor. Those times were sincere and charming and warm, Those times that are lost forever since 2011 When they both passed away so rapidly and unexpectedly. Childhood always disa
Introduction While healthcare services are an essential requirement for all members of the population, the children placed in foster care need it especially badly because of the neglectful or abusive treatment that they used to receive from their previous caretakers. Particularly, it is essential to enhance the importance of the caretakers’ role in both the provision of the necessary healthcare assistance to their foster children after the people in question become legal guardians of the children and maintaining consistent observation of the latter’s health status in order to address the emergent issues in a timely fashion. Seeing that the goals above require addressing several domains, including the management issues, getting the priorities straight, and promoting awareness about the subject matter, it will be necessary to create a comprehensive program that will serve as the foundation for meeting the needs of children in the foster care environment. Current Issues and Priorities Identification: The US Setting Management A closer look at the recent trends in healthcare (particularly, the tendencies observed over the past 15 years, i.e., 2000–2015, need to be brought up) will disclose that there is a significant drop in the number of children requiring foster care). Therefore, the management strategy could be altered slightly so that the quality of the services provided to each child individually should increase. Given the current trends in the foster care department, one might suggest applying the concept of an individual approach in lieu of the current general one. The given requirement can be justified by the fact that the background of the members of the foster care system has been turning increasingly diverse over the past few years, including the social status of the families, their ethnic and racial background, etc. Another essential aspect of healthcare-related management concerns prioritizing the steps that need to be taken in order to manage the identified health issues. To be more accurate, the framework that will allow healthcare employees to get the priorities straight and manage the identified problems according to their urgency should be considered. In this respect, the tools currently used for the patient data management must be revised: “Communication is also impaired because of the lack of systems for information sharing and data management (Szilagyi, Rosen, Rubin, & Zlotnik, 2015, par. 70). One must bear in mind that the adoption of the proper communication tools is imperative for the improvement of the current healthcare services provision in the foster care setting. Ethics As far as the ethical concerns go, the current US foste
Introduction The objective of the essay is to pick an object that is regularly used in everyday life and to evaluate it in terms of how it demonstrates personality. In this case the mobile phone will be the object of choice. The essay will explain what the phone reveals about people and the social forces that are related to it and that shape everyday life. The first part of the essay will explain the phone object and describe how it shows a person’s character or personality. The next section will employ the five factor model/theory of personality to demonstrate the concept of self and self presentation. The relevant academic references will be used to support the interpretation. Analysis The way a person receives or makes a call tells a lot about his or her personality. For instance, people who answer phone calls saying “John here” are viewed by experts as time savers. Barondes (2011), explained that unconventional people do not use regular words like “Hello”. Cantoni & Xiang (2013) and Ling (2004) also argued that the individuals who receive calls by saying funny are considered to be happy or cheerful people, whose view of the environment and activities is based on humour. Cantoni and Xiang (2013) pointed out that a person with a sunny-side personality responds to phone calls using very short phrases and just simple, sweet sounding words as “Hi”. According to Cantoni and Xiang (2013), such a person can be described as a friendly, cheerful and optimistic individual. On the other hand, a person who receives a phone call by saying something like “Go” or “I’m” is said to have a cool laid-back personality (Ling and Pedersen 2006). Based on the information presented by Ling and Pedersen (2006), if a person responds like “Good afternoon, this is Mrs Jane, what help can I offer you?”, then it is very likely that he or she must be a very helpful, happy, supportive and optimistic. It also gives an indication that the person could be very open regarding relationships or business transactions. On a separate note, it is believed that the phone is the centre of all activities in business, just like it is in the office. According to Bernstein et al. (2011), the professional attitude demonstrated toward the caller is critical to the performance and success of the business. It may take a person only ten seconds to learn the caller’s attitude, just from listening to the tone of the vo
An article by Ferrell, Fraedrich, and Ferrell (2013) focuses on the issues surrounding unethical hiring by managers. The rights theory can be applied in the study because every applicant is entitled to a fair recruitment process (Luetge, 2013). According to Ferrell, Fraedrich, and Ferrell (2013), all cadres of applicants must understand their rights during the recruitment process. Despite the strengths of the chosen theory, it has some limitations. It can be argued that the selected theory ignores the importance of “others” (Arntzenius, 2014). As stated, each person has rights. However, these rights at times conflict with the right of others also to exercise their rights. It suffices to state that the choice of an approach based on the stated theory impacts the decisions made by organizational leaders related to the selection. As a corporate leader, it is prudent that the choice of approach synchronizes with the organization’s strategy. Thus, one can argue that the hiring process should revolve around the strategic goals of the organization. The premise suggests that the rights theory should be applied mainly to the organization and the needs of the organization compared to the rights and needs of possible employees. Checklist   Advertise the job both internally and externally.                Attach the job description in detail.                            Review each application and select successful candidates.        Come up with questions regarding sales and leadership roles.     Conduct phone call interviews and make more cuts.                Invite all successful applicants for a face-to-face interview.   Carry out a reference check on each applicant.                   Send out an appointment letter to a successful candidate.        Send out notification letters to unsuccessful candidates.       According to the checklist, each candidate is given a fair opportunity during the hiring process. The checklist addresses concerns that might arise before, during, and after interviews. Following the checklist will, thus, indicate that an agreed-upon procedure was followed. Thereby, any legal problems would be easily averted. Ethically, reference checks have to be conducted at each stage of the recruitment process. The candidate with the best reference is then considered successful because they have more people vouching for him or her. The final decision is made after consultations with outside parties.
Air Quality Management Wastewater emits harmful toxins that affect air quality. Some researchers say the accumulation and intensity of microbiological emissions account for the highest concentrations of air quality pollutants from wastewater (Filipkowska 275). Several researchers have made many attempts to improve air quality, mainly through the adoption of new technology. Nanotechnology is one such technology. Many studies have explored the potential of nanotechnology to provide new solutions for improving not only the quality of the air we breathe, but also the quality of the water we drink (US Environmental Protection Agency 1). Moreover, some studies propose nanotechnology as a reliable method for the improvement of traditional technologies for air quality management. The potential of nanotechnology to improve the quality of air and water stems from its unique characteristics that help to reduce air pollution. Certainly, some studies propose the viability of nanotechnology to reduce harmful emissions from wastewater (US Environmental Protection Agency 1). Theodore (110) says that nanotechnology improves air quality in two ways. The first way involves the use of catalysts, while the second way involves the use of nano-structured membranes that alter the chemical composition of harmful wastewater pollutants (into less harmful components). The catalytic approach may also produce a chemical reaction that changes harmful molecules into harmless compositions that do not have any serious effect on air quality. Therefore, harmful vapour/gases that come from wastewater do not compromise air quality. These mechanisms show the potential of nanotechnology to improve air quality management. Source and Typical Concentrations of Pollutants Microbiological pollution is the main type of air pollution that occurs in wastewater treatment processes. Therefore, the intensity and range of microbiological emissions detail the main source of air quality degradation. For example, Eastern Research Group (5) says wastewaters emit aerosols, which contain harmful elements that compromise air quality. Therefore, organic-containing wastewater normally encounters the atmosphere and compromise air quality. Furthermore, Eastern Research Group (5) explains that whenever the organic-containing wastewater meets the atmosphere, the probability for volatile organic compounds (VOC) emissions to occur is high. The wastewater emanating from industrial processes (and domestic consumption) collects in on-site wastewater treatment facilities that are exposed to the atmosphere. The exposure to the atmosphere gives way for the volatility of harmful air pollutants to the environment. The volatility of wastewater compounds normally occurs because harmful emissions escape into the atmosphere as a way to strike equilibrium above wastewater (Eastern Research Group 5). In so doing, harmful organic chemicals pollute the air. This pollution normally occurs in wastewater collection and treatment facilities. Nonetheless, the intensity of the pollutants normally varies, depending on many factors such as the physical properties of the pollutants and the concentration of the pol
The Affordable Care Act (ACA), or so-called Obamacare, is a federal act which was signed into law in 2010. Initially, it is aimed at providing Americans with “better health security by putting in place comprehensive health insurance reforms” (Medicaid.gov, n. d., par. 1). The latter ones are supposed to expand coverage, lower insurance, and healthcare costs, and improve the quality of care for the Americans. To begin with, the ACA contributed to the establishment of the Innovation Center (About the CMS Innovation Center, 2017). It allows testing new methods of payment and service delivery models that can potentially cut down expenses of Medicare, Medicaid, and Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). At the same time, the goal is to preserve or even enhance the quality of patient’s care. Generally, the Innovation Center is focused on testing new payment models, evaluating their results, and engaging more stakeholders to the development of additional models for testing. Hence, the Affordable Care Act funds a massive innovational process, which cannot be underestimated. While working on developing new payment and service delivery models, the Innovation Center follows the official requirements and consults clinicians and analytical experts. The selection of organizations that participate in testing a model is an open, transparent process, and attracts the most qualified partners. The results of testing are usually aimed at increasing the efficiency of health care payments and policies. For instance, the Innovation Center is currently implementing the Quality Payment Program, which was created by Congre
Introduction In the world today, there are stockpiles of nuclear weapons that if used can easily send the planet to the ice age. Since there first use in 1945, nuclear weapons have not been used elsewhere in the world. Some scholars have concluded that there is an increased sense of development of the “Nuclear taboo” where countries have committed themselves towards the peaceful use of nuclear power while the nuclear haves have committed to reducing their stock piles and not to use the active weapons. Factors The destruction and suffering that followed after the weapon debut in Hiroshima and Nagasaki prompted nations to pursue different policies that ensure that nuclear weapons are used as a last resort. Strategic/Tactical Factors There is increased understanding that the use of the weapons by any nations on another will have a ripple effect that not even the strongest nation can contain in the short term. Paul (2009) says that there has been a tradition of non use entrenched in nations cultures (p.9). This tradition carries time honored obligations that every, member country in the United Nations has been able to keep. The US, Russia, China, Israel, Pakistan, UK, France and India have laid down concrete policies that have immensely contributed to the non use of these weapons. The policies that include for instance the START treaty between the US and Russia has given rise and persistence of this tradition. The behaviors of both nuclear and non nuclear states in not armed and non armed conflicts have enhanced the tradition. For instance countries like Japan that pursue pacifist nuclear policies have provided a whole new perspective in the use and non use of the weapons. According to Tannenwald (2007), another factor that has contributed to the non use of the weapons is the changing global tr
Abstract This is an infection that causes rusty discoloration of the liver due to excess absorption of iron (Hash 266). This disease is said to be hereditary and hence can be passed on from parents to offspring. Moreover, it can be classified into numerous domains such as neonatal, juvenile, primary and secondary hemochromatosis (Capell 101). This disease is caused by mutation of a gene that is responsible in regulating the amount of iron absorbed from the diet (Hash 266). This could be the possible factor that makes the disease to be genetic. An individual who is suffering from disorder related to the regulation of iron is said to have a medical condition called hemochromatosis. This disease causes the deposition of excess and freely available iron on the liver and other important organs. The deposition of iron particularly on the liver is a major problem as an individual’s body is unable to break it down and eventually eliminate its chemical components. Consequently, iron accumulates leading to its overload in the body. Etiology of the lesion Notably, increased intake of iron from food eaten leads to the accumulation of the mineral in liver. The long term accumulation is known to be the major cause of this liver disease (Capell 101).in addition, the rusty lesion in the liver is mainly caused by the damaging effect of excess iron. In this case, excessive intake and subsequent accumulation of iron detoxify the cells in the liver which eventually lose vigor and die off. Some research studies have also noted that hemochromatosis is a condition which is passed down from one person to another in a family line. It is an inherited condition and most prevalent among men. It is also imperative to note that the carriers of the gene bearing the disease can pass it to their children. Apart from inheritance, the disease also has secondary causes which encompass predisposing factors like post-portocaval sh
