New staff are allocated a ‘Buddy’, someone with a lot of working experience with Tribal to be a familiar face, for questions/queries and to essentially help and be a friend at work. This has had a positive impact on my starting journey with Tribal, as I now have a reliable person to go to with any queries I may have whenever my line manager is not in the office. My colleagues and I have been assigned buddies in different areas to our job role. For example, my Buddy Ricky has worked in the support team for 12 years.

Secondly, Tribal is committed to employees’ health and wellbeing. They provide wellbeing days with puppies coming into work, yoga sessions, full body massages and weekly fruit hampers are provided in all the offices. This brings positivity and relaxation to Tribal’s culture, encouraging a healthy state of mind. In turn, this makes the employees workload increase as they are relaxed and de-stressed. Tribal also provides a daily cleaner who washes all the crockery in all kitchens, so this takes pressure off employees: less likelihood of arguments with colleagues with whose turn it is as this has happened before at previous jobs. Furthermore, employees’ working time is not wasted on cleaning tasks.

Finally, security is one of the most important parts of culture at Tribal. All employees wear a security pass with the values around their lanyard, which is a sensible idea: if an employee were to lose their lanyard, no one could identify the company and gain entry. All visitors must be booked in prior to the reception team for them to organize security passes. Visitors have a red security pass which limits accessibility and cannot be left alone in a room someone must always be with them.

Tribal is an ethical company and care a lot about their staff and believe that health is important to work. In the same, way I believe in working hard and giving support to those around me. I have a strong family orientated culture and in a similar way, Tribal’s employees behave like a family, working together and supporting each other. I have been brought up to always be honest and tell the truth. I am the same person at home and at work: reliable and consistent. In my opinion presenting myself the same at home at work is a positive thing as I constantly carry the same behaviours and don’t confuse myself by ‘switching’ Some people may say this is a negative thing as some people like to have home and work separate. However, I do keep my home and working life separate, but I do like my ethical behaviour and moral code to be consistent throughout my stages of life. I feel as though I clearly know the difference between wrong and right, although unfortunately some people lack this basic moral, I would never be little someone who has the different ethical behaviour to me. For example, at my workstation, if one my colleagues in my team has said or done something I don’t agree with I will remain non-judgemental and professional. Tribal’s ethics support being non-judgemental.
Topic: family

I would propose to always uphold a professional and moral code across my professional career. I am a very ethical person outside of work also. My family have brought me up a certain way and I will always demonstrate my family’s values. When presenting these across the organisation especially with customers on site or doing training this is when you should particularly present yourself in the most appropriate and executive way. The way you present yourself to a customer largely reflects on the company you work for regardless, if you leave your workplace while still having your lanyard or during work hours you are still representing Tribal. I believe to treat every customer and work colleague with respect, you should treat people how you expect to be treated yourself.
Topic: family

The clich? of ‘the customer is always right’ has a lot of truth. Even when a customer’s ethics conflict with my own, I cannot allow this to affect our relationship and interaction. However, it’s also important to bear in mind that I should not be led to do something unethical. As frustrating this can be, the customer is never in the wrong and you must adapt yourself in these situations to try and meet the customer’s needs. If unfortunately something is wrong, whether this be timing, location, software or anything else business related whenever you come in contact with the customer on the phone or directly and they are unhappy/upset you must not react by changing your attitude and ethics towards the person or the situation. You should always demonstrate the company’s and your personal values consistently regardless of the situation. The impact of doing this allows you to be a role model for the company by always showing professionalism throughout the organisation. By doing this, it shows a huge part of my job at Tribal is to always be inspired by our company’s values.
Topic: family

Trustworthy -Being a trustworthy colleague or key person to a customer is a compulsory value to have. To be relied on as an honest and truthful person is a basic human moral. The customers you visit should be able to rely on you and build a rapport with you and the business. Alongside this your work colleagues also need to be able to trust you to be honest. Being a trustworthy person really helps form and maintain relationships. For example, my line manager Sara is very trustworthy as I confided a personal problem with her, and she asked if it was okay with me to advise someone from HR regarding this as they could offer me extra support. By confirming it was okay with me for her to discuss with someone else this made me feel like she is a very honest and I believe it has helped form a professional and truthful relationship.

Dedication – Being a dedicated colleague, friend, partner, mother, entails having the quality of being dedicated or committed to a task or purpose. To have this quality you must do everything you can as an individual to fulfil the end goal. You should not want to give up and motivate yourself to finish the task, purpose or situation the correct and ethical way. Showing dedication shows customers that you are a committed to your job and will go out of your way (when appropriate) to help others and get the job finished to a high standard.
Topic: family

Accountable – An Accountable person is very responsible for their own actions and decisions. They do not try and justify what they have done and why or even try and cover it up. To be considered an accountable person then you must be expected to honour and own up to your actions and decisions and make these independently and not rely on another individual to make these decisions for them. Tribal is responsible and accountable for their customers and are always prepared to decide when something needs to be done or altered.
Topic: family

Pioneering – If you want to appear to as a pioneering person then you must allow yourself to be first or the lead of any field, progress or enterprise. You have a passion to take control and act first and try and influence others around you to also do this. Pioneers constantly strive to reach their goals. Tribal is a pioneering company as it is constantly predicting new gaps in the marketplace and has inspirations about ideas that can be successful in the future.

Physical abuse is a prevalent ongoing issue that affects one’s life in more ways than one, such as, the relationships they develop over time. This form of trauma takes a toll on your present and future relationships. Victims of abuse tend to isolate themselves voluntarily. They begin to have trust issues, causing them to not trust anyone, and they tend to push the people who care about them away that want to help them. These relationships consist of children to adults, women to men, men to women, women to women, and men to men, it affects relationships between family members as well.

For example, during Queen Latifah’s interview with Eve and Andrea, “It started with verbal abuse, you know you can’t leave, if you do, I’m going kill you. Um, I have people watching your house. I always know where you at, how you think I know so much information about you?” (Jeffers-Cooper and Andrea) They use threats against you, people you care about, and anybody they think is trying to help you escape to keep you from leaving.

“The abuser doesn’t play fair, he or she uses fear, guilt, and intimidation to wear you down and gain power over you” (Turley 117). Turley references the different things done by the victim turned abuser in their relationship through his own experience. He was the reason his relationship with his child’s mother was not successful. The first sign he was turning into an abuser was exhibiting the actions of a dominant partner, wanting to have total control (Merriam-Webster).
Topic: family

“The abuser does this by making decisions for the victim, treating the victim like a servant, child, or even a possession” (Turley 69). Then comes humiliation, embarrassing his partner to make sure she knew who was in charge and who she had to answer to (Merriam-Webster). An abusive person will do anything in their power to make the victim feel like they are no better than them. They will make the victim feel worthless and insecure. Next is isolation, which in other words means to keep you away from the outside world and to keep the outside world away from you. An abuser will have you cut ties with anyone who no matter who it is. “They will make you a prisoner in your own home” (Jeffers-Cooper and Andrea). Abusers want their victims to feel like they can only depend on them for everything good or bad.
Topic: family

Some abusers make it a requirement that you ask for permission anything you do, almost as if you are a child. The moment abusers fear the most is that losing control of you as their property. Last, but not least is intimidation. Most abusers believe that going the extra mile to induce fear in their victims by any means necessary will keep them from running, telling and even leaving. Sometimes they may bang things, throw things and even threaten the hurt their victim. (Turley 74). Now that they have done this the victim in their mind feels alone and believes they have no one to turn to. They feel stuck with no way out of such a toxic situation. Some feel they will never be normal again nor do they feel like they are mentally or emotionally strong enough to fight, leave or move on from this situation.

Patient sought consult in a local hospital. Examination revealed pertinent findings of right vulvar mass probably a vulvar abscess. She was admitted and given intravenous antibiotics. Pelvic ultrasound showed complex focus with mixed cystic and heterogenous echoes suggestive of pubic abscess. She was scheduled for incision and drainage under spinal anesthesia, however, during the procedure, the physician was able to aspirate suspicious tissues admixed with serous discharge. With suspicion of malignancy, the procedure was abandoned and the patient was then transferred to our institution for further evaluation and management.

On admission, she was examined conscious, coherent, with vital signs within the normal range. On physical examination, her breasts were staged as Tanner Stage 2. Focusing on the pelvic area, there was a large erythematous vulvar mass approximately 30x15cm, extending from the vulvar area up to the right inguinal area. It was warm and tender on palpation, and was noted to be tense at the lower borders. A 0.5cm movable contender lymph node was appreciated on the left inguinal area.

Intravenous clindamycin with computed dose of 10mKd every 6hours was start-ed. Pelvic Xray showed large soft tissue density at the pelvic inlet measuring 10x10cm superior displacing the bowel segments suggesting of large pelvic mass. Tumor mark-ers were taken such as lactate dehydrogenase, alpha fetoprotein, and beta-human chorionic gonadotropin which results were all normal. Chest X-ray revealed bilateral nodular densities with consideration of pulmonary metastases..

The patient was referred to pediatrics, pediatric oncology, gynecologic oncology, and pediatric surgery section for multidisciplinary management. MRI of pelvis revealed soft tissue mass measuring 14.2 x 11.4 x 10.7cm, right inguinal region, with contrala-teral lymphadenopathy (see Appendix, Figure 2). Excision biopsy was done wherein intraoperatively, a 1x1x1 tissue specimen was taken on the vulvar mass and the left inguinal lymph node for frozen tissue biopsy, which revealed rhabdomyosarcoma without lymphovascular involvement (see appendix, Figure 3).

Patient was started on first cycle of chemotherapy one week post operatively be-cause there were electrolyte imbalance that has to be corrected prior to initiating treat-ment with chemotherapy. Chemotherapy for any type of rhabdomyosarcoma is manda-tory. The agents given to the patient were Vincristine 1.8mg IVTT once dose on day 1, and Cyclophosphomide 1.45g one dose on day 1, and Actinomycin 0.5mg IVTT once a day for 5 consecutive days from day 1 to day 5 of cycle. Daily monitoring of the tumor size showed no difference from day 1 to day 7 of chemotherapy.

During the second cycle of chemotherapy, permanent section biopsy of the ex-cised mass showed mucinous adenocarcinoma, with no lymphovascular invasion and no tumor metastasis on all nine inguinal lymph nodes. At this time, chemotherapy fol-lowed by surgical excision of the mass was planned with weekly monitoring of tumor size to assess efficacy of chemotherappy. This patient was advised for further work up and to undergo immunohistochemical studies to confirm the origin and type of the tu-mor. Unfortunately, the patient’s family refused further treatment, and she was subse-quently lost to follow up.

Vulvar diseases in children usually are conditions that involves a break in the skin integrity. These include contact dermatitis, injuries from trauma or sexual abuse, or infectious disorder and other extremely rare vulvar tumors. There are few reported cas-es on vulvar masses in the pediatric population. Its diagnosis is made clinically by thor-ough history and physical exmaination, supported by laboratory work-up and imaging studies, and confirmed by tissue histopathologic studies. Treatment protocols primarily address local symptoms, such as irritation, pelvic pain and difficulties in ambulation due to its location and size. Owing to the rarity of these vulvar tumors, treatment guidelines have not yet been established.

In this case, we are presented with a vulvar mass in a prepubertal patient. Infec-tious disorder was initially considered. Vulvar abscess is an accumulation of infectious fluid beneath the skin or in the subcutaneous tissue. Incision and drainage of the ab-scess usually alleviates vulvar pain, which is the common presenting symptom. Diag-nostic culture to identify specific organisms will aid in choosing appropriate antibiotic treatment. Vulvar tuberculosis is a rare condition and is seen only in 1-2% of genital tract tuberculosis. This commonly presents with chronic painful ulcerative vulvar mass associated with lymphadenopathy. In a case report of Tejinder Kaur, Surbhi Dhawan, Arti Aggarwal et. at. they presented a case of a 22 year old, complaining of ulcerative lesions in the vulva associated with difficulty in walking. Histopathologic studies showed granuloma comprising of cluster of epitheloid cells with Langhans type giant cells suggestive of tuberculosis. Anti-tuberculosis medications were started, with normal vulvar anatomy was restored after nine months of treatment.3 Vulvar tuberculosis is less likely in this case, since our patient presents with rapidly growing vulvar mass with, in contrast with genital tuberculosis. Absence of personal history of primary tuberculosis or exposure to such, also makes this diagnosis less likely.

Imaging studies done on this patient included magnetic resonance imaging, which revealed a large, well defined complex vulvar mass. Vulvar tumors were put into consideration, and these include lipoma and fibroma which are common benign tumors. Malignant tumors comprise the third category of differential diagnosis and include rhabdomyosarcoma, as well as rare epithelial cancers of the vulva, including squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma.
Topic: family

Being presented with a complex mass in the vulvar region in a pediatric patient, our primary considerations were vulvar fibroma and lipoma. Lipoma being the most common benign tumors of soft tissues, a tumor of mature adipocytes. However, there were only few cases reported of vulvar lipoma. One case report of Jung Hoon Lee and Seung Moon Chung, a case of a 17year old, complaining of a soft, movable mass in the right labia majora, gradually enlarging in just one year. Tumorectomy with complete removal of the capsule was done.4 Vulvar fibroma is the most common benign tumor in women. Commonly presents as a slow growing huge mass with isolated ulcerations and bleeding secondary to trauma. Tissue biopsy confirms its diagnosis. Treatment includes surgery with or without chemotherapy depending on the clinical status of the patient.5
Topic: family

In this case, total excision of the tumor was not done owing to its large size, as this procedure will entail removal of a large portion of the vulva which may not be ac-ceptable in this age group. Excision biopsy with frozen section biopsy was done which revealed histologic findings of rhabdomyoscaroma. The patient was started on chemo-therapy with Vincristine Cyclophosphomide and Actinomycin. These drugs were given with the goal to improve the survival and treatment of children with rhabdomyosar-coma.6

Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common soft tissue sarcoma in pediatric population, more commonly in children below 15years old. It originates from skeletal muscles and can affect any part of the body. During childhood, a genital location for this tumor is second most common, following the head and neck. Risk factor includes familial history of rhabdomyosarcoma. This clinically presents as a tumor mass, associated with vaginal bleeding. Its advance stage, often presents with urinary symptoms. The typical histologic findings of diffuse proliferation of rhabdoid cells that are round or polygonal in shape with eccentric nuclei, prominent nucleoli, and glassy eosinophilic cytoplasm containing hyaline-like inclusion bodies is diagnostic of rhabdomyosarcoma. Immunohistochemical expression of desmin confirms the diagnosis. Multimodality therapy is the optimal therapeutic approach. Conservative therapy with chemotherapy or radiotherapy after the initial excision has been reported with excellent results. Chemotherapy is mandatory, agents used include vincristine and actinomycin with either cyclophosphamide (VAC) or ifosfamide (IVA). Prognosis if diagnosed in early stage, is very good, with an average 5-year survival of 85-90%. 1

Primary vulva cancer is a rare gynecologic malignancy and represents 3% to 5% of malignancies of the female genital tract. About 90% of primary vulva malignancies are squamous cell carcinomas and adenocarcinomas are much less common.7 Mucin-ous adenocarcinoma have different subtypes which include intestinal type, mammary gland-like adenocarcinoma and sweat gland carcinoma.2
Topic: family

The intestinal type or otherwise known as primary villoglandular mucinous ade-nocarcinoma of the vulva, otherwise known as cloacogenic adenocarcinoma. Hypothe-sis that intestinal neoplasia of the vulva could develop from cloacal remnants. Since the lower vagina is derived from the urogenital tract, enteric neoplasia of the lower genital tract could develop from loci of gastrointestinal metaplasia from cloacal remnants. A case of an 68-year-old woman who had a vulvar lump, with histopathologic findings of mucinous adenocarcinoma, no invasion nor microinvasion of the tumor cells was reported. This patient was then treated by vulvar tumor resection and remains disease free 5 years after surgery.8

Specialized anogenital mammary-like glands, found typically in the interlabial sulcus, are thought to be the origin of vulvar breast-like adenocarcinomas.9 Exact ma-lignant potential of ectopic breast tissue within the vulva is not known. There were 11 cases reported diagnosed with this condition, confirmed with immunohistochemical test, all of them tested for estrogen/progesterone receptors revealed positive results. Given the rarity of this entity, the incidence, clinical manifestations, and the optimal therapy and prognosis of this tumor remains unclear. 8
Topic: family

To identify the specific type of these tumor, extensive workup should be done, including chest X?ray, abdominal and pelvic ultrasound, cervical Pap smear and systemic positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) to identify primary reproductive or metastatic malignancy. A colonoscopy or gastroscopy is used to exclude adenocarcinoma of the gastrointestinal tract. Immunohistochemical analysis include periodic acid?Schiff (PAS), alcian blue (AB), cyto- keratin (CK) 7 and cellular adhesion molecule (CAM) 5.2, and p16 are seen positive for primary mucinous adeno-carcinoma of the vulvar. Tumor cells positive for estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and gross cystic disease fluid protein (GCDFP) 15, are indicative of mammary gland adenocarcinoma. The tumor positive for carbohydrate antigen (CA) 125 suggests an ovarian type of cancer. Tumor stained positive for CK20, villin and CA19-9 suggest adenocarcinoma of the gastrointestinal tract. The tumor stained posi-tive for transcription intermediary factor (TTF) 1 and napsin A is indicative of lung adenocarcinoma. Thus, to further specify these type of tumors, immunohistochemical studies is a valuable tool. 2

There are several approach in the management of this malignancy. Patients with a locally advanced primary or nodal disease should be referred for multidisciplinary clinical evaluation.12 The overall goal is to remove all involved tissue affected by the vulvar cancer, including the skin from the vulva to the inguinal area.11 A radical local excision or a total vulvectomy are the surgical options, with or without lymph node dissection. According to the clinical practice guidelines from Alberta Provincial Gynecologic Oncology Team, for patients who are not candidates for surgery, an aprp radiation therapy or chemoradiotherapy could be considered for primary definitive treatment, as an alternative to surgery. However, salvage surgery should be considered if no response is documented after three months. For advanced vulvar cancer, neoadjuvant radiation with or without chemotherapy followed by radical surgery should be considered the best option for management.12

“Using iPad Applications to Increase Literacy Skills for Children PreK to Grade 3 With Disabilities” by Stone-MacDonald (2015) discusses the use of iPads as a piece of assistive technology to support students with disabilities, and the study focuses exclusively on young learners pre-k through third grade. The author investigates this in terms of developing literacy skills and only looked at iPad applications seeing that the iPad has the widest range of learning apps applicable for young learners and iPhones are not feasible for young learners to manipulate due to their inadequate size (Stone-MacDonald, 2015).
Topic: family

The author put all research findings in the context of helping Jonah, a five-year-old student with autism, who uses a Tech/Talk aid as his communication mode. While Jonah was doing well with this device, his parents noticed he really enjoyed using his sibling’s iPad and could manipulate it quite well. Jonah’s parents asked his teachers if they could transition Jonah to an iPad making a strong case by stating “it was easily transportable between home and school and more socially acceptable” than his current device (Stone-MacDonald, 2015, p.
Topic: family

Included in the article is a section on current research that emphasizes the lack of research on the use of iPads with very young children with disabilities, yet shows research in support of using technology with children with special needs. For example, the Division for Early Childhood (DEC) and the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) have a position statement stating “technology can support all children with various abilities to participate and access the curriculum in early childhood” (Stone-MacDonald, 2015, p. 5). However, also mentioned was a study on iPad literacy apps for young children that found these apps do not provide anything except skill and drill and fail to use all that an iPad can offer (Stone-MacDonald, 2015). That being said, it is important for the reader to recognize that this study was conducted in 2012 and many improvements have been made since that time. More recent research found that STEM curriculum, digital storytelling, and literacy development apps were beneficial in showing growth and success in inclusive settings (Stone-MacDonald, 2015).
Topic: family

Several categorical apps are discussed as potentials in effectively meeting Jonah’s IEP objectives and are summarized in Table 1 (Stone-MacDonald, 2015, p. 4). For instance, reading-focused apps that read books aloud and provide opportunities for students to interact, prove helpful in satisfying Jonah’s goal of retelling a story. By using this type of app, a story is read to Jonah as many times as needed with the added bonus of highlighting words during the read aloud. Literacy skill-building apps, which focus on skills like building vocabulary, spelling, sight-words, and letter sounds, are more flashcard based. Although, they do have interactive capabilities and animations features making the apps more engaging to young children like Jonah. Reading and writing apps allow Jonah to create stories and participate with his peers during classroom activities. These apps help him with comprehension, vocabulary, phonics and phonemic awareness. Communication-focus apps, the last category investigated by the author, are the most expensive yet the most customizable, and support Jonah’s communication and literacy development
Topic: family

For each of these categories, the author listed specific apps believed to be of high-quality to use with young children with disabilities in Table 2 (Stone-MacDonald, 2015 p. 7). The author mentions composing this detailed list by using a rubric created especially for evaluating literacy and communication apps created by Van Houten in 2011 (Stone-MacDonald, 2015, p. 8). In my opinion, this rubric checklist can be a valuable resource for educators and parents in determining if a particular app is of high educational quality and worth the investment.
Topic: family

The article concluded with Jonah’s team determining the iPad, with its specifically tailored apps, as a significant way to improve his literacy growth and communication skills. Personally, technology via iPads is an excellent way to build the skills of young students like Jonah, while allowing them more opportunities to interact with peers and to use the same technology as they grow. I can see students increasing their confidence and self-esteem by being more comfortable and expressive, as Jonah’s parents stated, an iPad is socially acceptable. That would certainly make students with disabilities feel like they fit in with everyone both inside and outside of school.
Topic: family

Additionally, young children love technology and seem to learn best by being directly engaged. iPad apps do just that and can be customized to fit each student’s specific needs, allowing them to be successful. It is recognized that high-quality technology is expensive, but its benefits far outweigh any negatives, including the expense. I think all students with disabilities should learn through iPad applications in order to meet their personal needs no matter what their age, and this article supports this belief.

When I was a kid, my Dad and I spent nearly every second of summer on the sparkling sandy beaches near our home in Cronulla. We would dance shin-deep in the ice-cold surf, kicking up the water so that the droplets shone like diamonds in the rays of sunlight.

Looking back, I knew now that the truth behind my Dad’s stories was never quite as thrilling. In each trip he made, he always looked for the same thing, the same wreckage he believed was buried somewhere beneath the sea. It was his obsession. His life’s work had all been spent on attempting to find it. His dark study overflowed with dusty, old books on the subject. Massive maps were draped across every timber surface. Whenever he was home, I sat outside the door, my knees pulled up tight to my chest, and I listened. His heavy sighs and the sound of seeped through the walls. I was never allowed inside his room when he was home, although my imagination flooded my mind with images of my Dad bent over cryptic clues and riddles, his brow rutted as he cracked each one. Every now and again, he would let out a shout and burst through the door, joyfully picking me up and spinning me around in excitement. We would dance around the living room, my Dad swinging his golden compass around his pinkie and singing blissfully. Though, those moments grew fewer and farther between as time went on. Even so, he routinely found time for our annual summer adventures. That is until he forgot we had our tradition.

I remember the first time I truly realised what had happened when the child inside me faded from existence. Maybe some small part of me had known for a while, but I had concealed it, concealed the knowledge of his sickness. I was too afraid to think of my Dad as human, something which could conclude at any moment. His great voyages out into the ocean ceased, and his time at home seemed to last an eternity. He entrenched himself in his study, consumed by his work. His disease rooted itself deep within his mind and grew, branching out and rupturing every memory with its thorns. It became a giant tidal wave that crashed through his mind and washed away all other concerns and everything that was important, including me and my Mum. He became cruel, fanatical with finishing his work and finding the wreckage before it was too late. He would slam the study’s door open, look down at my small frame and thrust a pale, slender arm towards the living room. “Go away!” He would yell. “l can hear you breathing and it’s pissing me off!”
