While it offers opportunities that go well beyond the acquisition of an academic degree, it also brings pitfalls. A student’s first year of college, for instance, is critical not only for how much students learn but also for laying the foundation on which their subsequent academic success and persistence rest. Being cognizant to the complexities that a college life may bring, the University Counseling and Career Office of the Far Eastern University, in coordination with the various departments of the institutes, facilitates the implementation of the Academic Competence and Empowerment Program (ACE) to address the needs of its growing number of student-clients.

...Overview [pic] Accounting Methods Builder (AMB) Overview [pic] Accounting Methods Builder (AMB) Overview This diagram shows a hierarchy of the AMB, indicating how the components fit together. The transaction objects and the sources carry transaction information into the rules defined for each component of an entry. These components, i.e. journal line type, account derivation rule, and journal entry descriptions are grouped together as a journal line definition (JLD) for a particular event. For example, you can set up a JLD for an invoice validation event, another for payment creation, and another for payment clearing. The set of rules for a particular subledger application is called the application accounting definition (AAD). The set of AADs for multiple applications is called the subledger accounting method. You can maintain multiple accounting methods. You can set up as many components as you like and use them for different accounting methods. You can set up an accounting method that creates entries in compliance with US GAAP, and another one that complies with IFRS. These two methods could share components, such as entry descriptions, because the journal entry components are modular. The accounting methods are then assigned to each ledger, which determines the rules that are applied when accounting is being generated for...

The way one handles a problem could make or break an organization. There are many leadership models that will allow one in a leadership role to handle any problem that may arise in a professional manner. In this paper, I will be reflecting and analyzing on a situation that I had to handle while in a supervisors role. In handling the situation, I will be applying three different leadership models Emotional and Social Intelligence, Valued Based Leadership, and Servant Leadership to handle the same situation. Although, three different leadership models were utilized in the end I will ex-simply that one can utilize any of the models to resolve the situation that will have positive effect for everyone, while maintaining the professionalism that is needed and should be exhibited by any organization. My primary focus will be on servant leadership. By doing this could only allow any organization to grow and be very profitable. The perception of the word leadership is appropriate when speaking about anti-emotional and anti-constructive. As a society in whole we are accustomed to taking any means necessary to prevail in the lead of others. One can observe the different styles of leadership which entails looking out for themselves...

Tinkham University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia, USA 2010) or ads that ridicule nonusers of the brand (Voss 2009), but these studies researched “humor types” and should be distinguished from humor effects studies in threat persuasion ads. By looking into both the humor and threat persuasion literature, we set out to understand how humorous threat persuasion works in advertising and for whom it may be most effective. Threat persuasion, otherwise known as fear appeal in advertising, deals with critical issues that might have negative consequences for the consumer or the public (e.g., health and environmental issues) (Freimuth et al. 1990). In the ad, threatening information presents the problem, and attitudinal or behavioral suggestions are given as solutions. Threat information is valuable in that it can help protect us from harm but is negative in valence and out of the ordinary in our daily lives. Such substantive yet negative and out-of-the-ordinary information is known to be unpleasant and cognitively arduous to process (e.g., Rozin and Royzman 2001; Schimmack 2005). When humor accompanies threat information, it can...

...Military Technology Land Force Air And Missile Defence Dealing With The Complexities Of Future Warfighting Lieutenant Colonel Inger Lawes Abstract In the future, land force commanders will need to manage the use of airspace to enable multidimensional manoeuvre—coordinating joint and coalition assets and denying adversaries. Battlespace management, in an era of uninhabited and automated systems, is becoming increasingly complex. The author argues for the development of a ‘land force air and missile defence’ (LFAMD) to enhance friendly capability and defeat conventional and asymmetrical enemy manoeuvre. Introduction T he Australian Defence Force (ADF) Future Warfighting concept asserts that ‘the challenges of complex environments reinforce our view that warfare is multi-dimensional.’ 1 In future warfare, because of the presence of both conventional and asymmetric air threats, air and missile defence will become an essential capability in enabling the land force to conduct multi-dimensional manoeuvre. Australian Army Journal • Volume III, Number 2 • page 109 Military Technology • Lieutenant Colonel Inger Lawes The Future Land Operating Concept Complex Warfighting describes the contemporary operational environment in terms of defining characteristics such as complex physical, human and informational terrain and urban environments, increased threat diversity, diffusion and lethality. These characteristics necessarily impose a broader spectrum...

...Alexander Herrera Diversity in the Workplace M3A1 Supporting Affirmative Action Empire State College Affirmative Action: often upon hearing this word, one will start thinking about quotas and reverse discrimination. However, contrary to this misconception, affirmative action is actually a policy that dictates that employers attempt to find diverse employees by exploring untraditional sources of labor. The goal of affirmative action is to create a work force that mirrors the population of the nation both in gender and in ethnicity (Rich, 2014). The two questions that we will be focusing on are: Is affirmative action necessary to give all Americans an equal opportunity to success? Does affirmative action counteract the discrimination that still exists in modern society? Affirmative action is not only morally justifiable, but it is also socially and economically preferable in order to improve our society. The United States’ government first implemented affirmative action to overcome some of the clear differences in living conditions between people of different genders and races. Unfortunately, these differences still exist and eliminating affirmative action now would be untimely for our nation. The need for affirmative action was a concept noticed in 1865 during the passages of the Civil War amendments. During those years our country was still practicing in slavery and wrongful treatment of the black race. While blacks were being forced to comply...

In the 1970-1979, I chose Adams of Eagle Lake, Bronk, Logan’s run, Harry O, Kung Fu, The life and times of Grizzly Adams, The Oregon Trail and The police story. Some of them are Personal hero story, like The TV show called The police Story.

At this time oil was largely used in lighting and lubricants and the industry was based in Baku and Russia with it is large reserve of high quality oil and strategic natural harbour. The arrival of the internal combustion engine in 1886 to a demand for transport fuel. Building on their shipping expertise the Samuel brothers commissioned a fleet of steamers to carry oil in bulk. They revolutionised oil transport with the maiden voyage oftheir first tanker, Murex. In 1892 murex was the first ever tanker to transit the Suez Canal. The brother company was name the shell transport and trading company in 1897. Itused a mussel shell as it logo. Shell transport activity in the East combined with a search for new sources of oilto reduce dependence on Russia brought it into contact with Royal Dutch petroleum. Thetwo company join force in 1903 to protect themselves against the dominance of standard oil. They fully merged into the Royal Dutch Shell group in 1907.

...Chapter 7 – Attitudes The Power of Attitudes Attitude: A lasting, general evaluation of people, (including oneself), objects, or issues. • Is lasting because it tends to endure over time • It is general because it applies to more than a momentary event • Can be very product-specific behaviours (Crest toothpaste rather than Colgate) • Can be toward more general consumption-related behaviours (how often they should brush their teeth) Attitude Object (A0): Anything toward which a person has an attitude, whether it is tangible or intangible. The Functions of Attitudes Functional Theory of Attitudes: Attitudes exist because they serve some function for the person; that is, they are determined by a person’s motives. • Developed by psychologist Danial Katz Attitude Functions 1. Utilitarian Function a. Related to the basic principles of reward and punishment b. Develop attitudes based on whether these products provide pleasure or pain c. Ads that stress straightforward product benefits appeal to the utilitarian function 2. Value-expressive Function a. Express the consumer’s central values or self-concept b. Product attitude not because of its objective benefits c. Of what the product says about him/her as a person d. Highly relevant to lifestyle analyses, where consumers cultivate a cluster of activities, interest and opinions to express a particular social identity 3. Ego-defensive Function a.

...The Cafeteria A friend of yours, Carolyn, is the director of food services for a large city school system. She is in charge of hundreds of schools, and hun- dreds of thousands of kids eat in her cafeterias every day. Carolyn has for- mal training in nutrition (a master’s degree from the state university), and she is a creative type who likes to think about things in nontraditional ways. One evening, over a good bottle of wine, she and her friend Adam, a sta- tistically oriented management consultant who has worked with super- market chains, hatched an interesting idea. Without changing any menus, they would run some experiments in her schools to determine whether the way the food is displayed and arranged might influence the choices kids make. Carolyn gave the directors of dozens of school cafeterias specific in- structions on how to display the food choices. In some schools the desserts were placed first, in others last, in still others in a separate line. The location of various food items was varied from one school to another. In some schools the French fries, but in others the carrot sticks, were at eye level. From his experience in designing supermarket floor plans, Adam sus- pected that the results would be dramatic. He was right. Simply by re- arranging the cafeteria, Carolyn was able to increase or decrease the con- sumption of many food items by as much as 25 percent. Carolyn learned a big lesson: school children, like adults, can be greatly influenced by small 1 ...
