...or instinctive movement in response to a stimulus” (“The History of Reflexology”) The idea of reflexology is for a practitioner to apply intense pressure to the specific area, hopefully, having a positive effect and healing the corresponding body part. For example, if a client has chronic headaches the practitioners would apply deep pressure to the center of the big toe. Although, reflexology is not used to cure disease, many people use reflexology with other forms of medicine that can help with asthma, anxiety, various cancers, cardiovascular issues, diabetes, headaches, kidney function, and menstrual issues (Teagarden, n.d.). Although, not all practitioners agree on the exact areas on the ear, hands, and feet there are some general similarities on reflex points. Practitioners use reflexology maps to locate the reflex that is for certain body parts. The left foot has the left side of the body and the organs on that side. Whereas, the right foot links with the right side of the body and the organs. The origin and the history of reflexology is hard to pinpoint but it is clear that it is an ancient practice that has been passed down through many generations. One of the first possible documentations of reflexology was in the Egyptian tomb of Ankhamor in 2330 BC. In addition, North American tribes of Indians are known to have practiced a form of foot therapy for hundreds of years. An example of reflexology being used in the past was, James Abram Garfield, an American...

...Diversity and Inclusion Juanita Guthrie SOC/315 January 25, 2016 Jennifer Hudgins Diversity and Inclusion Cultural diversity has many dimensions which is what makes one person different than the other. Some of these dimensions include “cultural, gender, ethnic, religious, sexual orientation, ability, age, and size differences (Harvey & Allard, 2009).” While some of these different dimensions can be chosen, such as, religion others cannot because they are born into it. Cultural diversity helps us to identify the different subordinate groups or minority group which is “a group whose members have significantly less control or power over their own lives than do the members of a dominant or majority group (Schaeffer, 2011).” The differences of each group help us to understand the differences of each and their accomplishments and struggles. We have learned with these differences so much with statistics for health and other related issues that give us insight to better prepare ourselves for different outcomes. I am a Mexican American. My mother was raised in Texas and my father in Wyoming. I have been fortunate to learn the culture, especially how to make Mexican food. Recently, with my work, I am have been able to learn more Spanish than I have growing up. My parents did not speak much Spanish to my siblings and I when we were younger. They did take us to events that celebrated significant dates that are special to Mexico though. My life was...

...Abstract Established in 1968, Keppel Corporation is a Singaporean based conglomerate specializing in marine, property, infrastructure and investment businesses. Although it is well-developed and has promising prospects of becoming more influential globally, a recent underperformance reflected in its annual report and relevant negative news regarding the profit decline indicate that there are some factors interfering with its sustainability and profitability. Keppel’s Offshore and Marine sector is facing certain risks, which might hamper the overall growth of the corporation as this sector accounts for 65% of total revenue generated by Keppel. This report provides a brief overview of Keppel’s main businesses. The focal point of interest would be on the offshore and marine industry. Multiple industry and strategy analysis frameworks will be used to analyze the factors affecting the sustainable development of Keppel Corporation in order to determine underlying reasons for its dilemmas and to provide recommendations for mitigation.

However, they greatly differ in their approaches. Durkheim’s position is that the sacred is society which we are obliged to yield to and adopt within ourselves. Others though would argue that this withholds any power from the individual and also fails to consider religion as a source of power. Geertz considers religion to be a cultural system consisting of a collection of symbols which contain public and social meaning constructing the world as peoples perceive it. Yet Geertz fails to account for different interpretations and meanings of symbols despite the importance of symbols in his theory.Both theorists have ethnographic support despite their vast differences, however neither approach is completely clear of criticism. Durkheim regards religion as the means through which the clan expresses it’s being a society. According to Durkheim people experience society as a force outside themselves imposing rules of thought and behaviour which they explain in terms of God and religious forces. Religion acts as an expression...

...CHAPTER ONE 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Information The Cross River gorilla, Gorilla gorilla diehli (Matschie, 1904), a subspecies of the western gorilla, Gorilla gorilla, is found in contiguous forest patches bordering South-Southern Nigeria and South-Western Cameroon, an area recognized as a biodiversity hotspot characterized by species diversity and endemism (Edet, 2011). The subspecies is one of the most critically endangered primates of Africa (Oates et al., 2008; IUCN, 2013). The subspecies is also one of the world’s 25 most endangered primates (Mittermeier et al., 2009). As humans extend their land use, Cross River gorilla habitat is rapidly disappearing, and this may have adverse effects on number of individuals within the subspecies. The Cross River gorilla, Gorilla gorilla diehli, chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes vellorosus) and drill (Mandrillus leucophaeus), though legally protected by the Endangered Species Decree 11 of 1985, are some of the primates hunted for bushmeat and other purposes (Edet, 2011). The Major threat to the survival of the subspecies is lack of thorough conservation strategy necessary for its protection. The survival of this endangered species and ecosystems depends on long-term participation and understanding of local populations (Oates, 1999). Due to the close relationship between cultural diversity and biodiversity, traditional knowledge systems play an important role when developing species conservation and management strategies (Caldecott...

...Andrew Wanda Professor Joan Vilim Strategic Management 3-17-15 Under Armour Case Study Under Armour was founded by Kevin Plank a former collegiate football player at University of Maryland. Being an athlete and having to wear heavy sweaty shirts from playing he came up with an idea for a fabric that is cooler and comfortable to the athlete. He had passed on a job opportunity out of college and decided to take his idea and sell t-shirts instead. From what started as just a t-shirt idea had grown quickly into a powerful brand name with unlimited possibilities of growth in a very big industry. Before it became Under Armour it was formally called KP Sports which was a subchapter S corporation. After this Plank was able to convince Kip Fulks to be a partner in this enterprise and when money got tight he would borrow from family to keep the idea alive. This whole operation took place inside Planks grandmother basement until enough funds were secured to take out a small loan to move the operation to an actual facility. Later on the two of them acquired another friend as a partner by the name of Ryan Wood. After this the business truly began to take off and was no longer considered a S corporation but a C corporation. It wasn’t until late 2005 the company changed its name to Under Armour and became a publicly traded company. Now Under Armour is involved in the development, marketing, and distribution of performance apparel, footwear, and accessories for men and women...

...There are many different theories of human memory, cognition, and thinking the most researched and articulated theory is the Information Processing explanations (Ashcraft & Radvansky, 2010; Bruning, Schraw & Norby, 2011; Sternberg & Sternberg, 2012) This essay will introduce Information Processing Theories and briefly explain the key concepts and explore the importance of these theories in relation to teaching in the classroom. The significance of these theories in relation to understanding childrens learning and development will be discussed and we will touch on how these theories can be beneficial in developing an educational pedagogy. The strengths and limitations will be identified and reviewed and the key concepts will be critically reflected apon. We as humans process information with remarkable proficiency and we accomplish problematic tasks such and critical thinking, faster and more accurately than some very sophisticated machines. (Halpern, 2003; Kuhn, 1999) Theorists have developed a systematic model of memory, according to Woolfolk & Margetts (p.250) the most common and universally recognised by research is information processing theory, this is a well-documented analysis for examining learning and memory. The information processing theory as defined as ‘The human mind’s activity of taking in, storing, and using information’. (Woolfolk A &Margetts K p.205) Information processing theory is a proposed system of how we: perceive, encode, store and retrieve data. ...

...9-713-406 REV: DECEMBER 2, 2013 JUAN ALCÁCER KERRY HERMAN Intel: Strategic Decisions in Locating a New Assembly and Test Plant (A) Government incentives can come and go. Decisions need to be long term. — Brian Krzanich, Intel general manager Assembly Test (2005) Brian Krzanich, Intel general manager of Assembly Test (AT), looked through his deck of slides one more time. It was March 2005, and in a few days, he would present the AT team’s proposal for the siting of its next AT factory to Intel’s board. The new facility would be Intel’s largest AT plant to date, doubling the size of any existing AT plant and providing the company with more efficient capacity. In 2005, industry average costs to build a new AT factory ran about $80 million with annual operating costs of between $150 and $300 million. He thought back to the fall of 2001, when Intel’s global site selection team had first started gathering data on possible sites for a new AT plant. There were a host of considerations implicated in this proposal, with operational and strategic dynamics as well as national and international relationships at stake. In their preliminary study of possible sites, Krzanich and his team had focused primarily on Asian and South East Asian locations, given that between 2002 and 2005, the total cost of operations in these countries were still the lowest in the world, and these markets represented important and growing opportunities for Intel. While U.S. regulations had prohibited...
