...with the Mother Emotional Distraught 3. Goals Joint Custody: Wife being the primary custodial parent Visitation: Every other full weekend Alternating holiday schedule (switching holidays from year to year as well) Six weeks during the summer and every other school break time Equal responsibility for transporting to/from Insurance & Child Support: Husband Provides Insurance and Pay a significant Child Support Payment 4. Objectives Deciding on the basis of will is costly: Situation: Make sure to put the children’s needs first, not what you personally want. The case for using objective criteria: Make a decision based on a principle, not pressure. There’s no way that someone can say you took advantage of them if your argument is based on facts instead of wants. “No one backed down; no one appeared weak - just reasonable.” (Fisher, Ury, &, Patton, 85). Situation: Concession and Offer: Example; you can have the kids on Christmas if you pay me double the child support for the month. Developing objective criteria: Principle negotiations = two questions. “How do you develop objective criteria, and how do you use them in negotiating?” (Fisher, Ury, & Patton, 86). Situation: Involves: equal treatment, moral standards, what a court would decide, and maybe costs. Divorce specifically, both parents should decide on visitation rights together,...

...The traditional approach to health care was to “cure” the disease. Health providers were trained to obtain all the sign and symptoms associated with the disease; and then treat the patient accordingly. Very little attention was directed toward approaching the patient and the environment from a perspective of healing and spirituality. This presentation will identify the three key components of a healing environment and address some of the challenges: 1) Physical Environment, 2) Social Environment, and 3) Complementary and Alternative Medicine. A Healing Physical Environment Patients want to be within an environment that promotes healing. Healing environments decrease stress and promote optimal well being. Psychological stressors set in motion physiological changes in the body, which arise both physiological and behavioral reactions increasing susceptibility to physical illnesses (Leserman et al, 1998). To promote a healing environment, care must be taken to reduce noise, utilize calming color schemes, and provide a way for patients to connect with nature. NOISE REDUCTION Studies show that noise reduction is linked with increased healing and recovery and can decrease a patient's length of stay," said Zareh Sarrafian, chief operating officer at Loma Linda University Medical Center. Thus, a noisy, confusing hospital room might leave a patient not only feeling worried, sad, or helpless but also might raise his or her blood pressure and heart rate and increase muscle...

Ndivo1*, Judith N. Waudo1 and Fuchaka Waswa2 1 2 School of Hospitality & Tourism Management, Kenyatta University, Kenya School of Environmental Studies, Kenyatta University, Kenya Abstract Kenya’s tourism activity has always been centered on the coastal beaches and a few game parks despite of being endowed with a unique combination of tourist attractions spread throughout the country. Noting this skewed nature of tourism development, this study aimed at investigating the status of appeal of the different Kenya’s tourist regions from the perspective of the domestic market with the goal of examining the efficacy of the destination appeal enhancers. Data was collected using semi-structured questionnaires and analysed using mainly descriptive statistics. The study found out that while majority of Kenyans considered taking a holiday as being important to them, a significant majority of them were not be aware of most of the country’s touristic attractions and hence, frequented only a few of the country’s attractions, mainly the coastal beaches. Further, the study found out that the most important sources of travel information available to Kenyans were personal experience and information from significant others; travel...

...truly happened as much of the reports are still blacked out. Theorists use this as proof that extraterrestrials have made contact, but the government has not revealed it to the public. Sceptics confront them with the idea that it could be new military aircraft that needs to remain secret, but theorists are not very open to new ideas that place humans as the creators. The government did use the UFO craze to mask the testing of new aircraft, such as the stealth planes when the technology became available. The idea that aliens did visit firmly planted in the minds of some researchers, caused researchers to make any information they received fit into their preconceived ideas. This caused biased reports and papers that would not hold up in the scientific community. As they accepted reports and interviews at face value, with no concern of verifying the information, people who were cautious about accepting the idea of aliens could find holes in the stories and question if aliens did visit the Earth. Researchers would also place themselves in the story changing the value of the project. Since the reports are well told stories with no concrete evidence pointing to visitation, more plausible scenarios are rejected for the more intriguing stories. The government went through stages of interest in the Roswell incident. The Central Intelligence Agency had a series of projects meant to contain, control, and look into events involving UFOs. It started with Project Sign which was meant to look...

...Same-sex couples are also better off. There’s three main ways that gay parents affect children. They affect the child’s growth in their social and academic competence rate, they make amazing parents, and the children develop emotions that most kids don’t have. “The kids typically develop in ways that cannot be distinguished from their peers raised by heterosexual parents” (Davis). The affect it has on the child’s social and academic competence rate is outstanding. “According to a study published in Pediatrics, they found that children with lesbian parents have a higher social and academic rating; than those with heterosexual parents” (Gartrell & Bos, Pediatrics). "in fact, growing up with parents who are lesbian or gay may confer some advantages to children. They have been described as more tolerant of diversity and more nurturing toward younger children than children whose parents are heterosexual" (Davis). They make outstanding parents. Most foster kids just really need nothing more than a loving home, with two loving parents. The children that come from these households develop emotions that most kids don’t have. “Children that grow up in same-sex households will be more sympathetic to differences and more likely to believe in equality for all” (Life Long Adoptions). Equality for all is included in the human rights. They don’t have the same human rights/benefits as heterosexual couples. They lack...

...death do us part" in our modern times. The chances of us divorcing are a higher percentage than us staying together forever. Marietta is very close to her family which is great but brings big concerns for me, if a divorce was to ever be mentioned. Her family resides in the Philippines so I would assume that if we were to split up, she would take any child(ren) that we may have in the future, and move back where she would be close to her family. Marietta would feel that the children would be better off living near her "close-knit family" where they would receive more love and affection than a single father could possibly give. In this circumstance, a pre-nup would be of no use, because laws don't allow for visitation or custody rights to be determined but we could have an open discussion about this so we both know how the other feels on the subject. I believe that communication is a strong factor to have in a relationship and if we can't discuss the "what-ifs" then we would be off to a bad start in the...

...Explain if it matters that a parent literally had nothing to do with a biological child in order for the child to take advantage of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) to care for that parent. No it does not matter if parent literally had nothing to do with a biological child in order for the child to take advantage of the Family Leave Act. I have read and re-read the criteria to be able to use this benefit. It clearly states: In order to care for the spouse, or a son, daughter, or parent, of the employee, if such spouse, son daughter, or parent has a serious health condition. In doing my research I did find a clause or question that even questions the validity of it and found that it can depend on the state you are in. For example: retrieved from the New Jersey Family Leave Act, (http://www.state.nj.us/treasury/pensions/epbam/additional/fmla-qa.htm). Who is considered an immediate "family member" for purposes of taking NJFLA and FMLA leave? An employee’s spouse, children (son or daughter), and parents are immediate family members for purposes of FMLA. The term "parent" does not include a parent "in-law" under the FMLA, but under the NJFLA, a parent-in-law is included under the category of "immediate family member" (see below). The terms son or daughter do not include individuals age 18 or over unless they are "incapable of self-care" because of mental or physical disability that limits one or more of the "major life activities" as those terms are defined in regulations...

...“intellectual” plan using a collection of verses from the New Testament book of Romans to explain God’s gift of salvation. When these verses are arranged in order they offer a systematic presentation of the plan of salvation (What is Roman’s Road?) Through the presentation of these verses one learns that we are all sinners (Romans 3:10, 23), that the wages of sin are death (Romans 6:23), that Jesus paid for our sins on the cross (Romans5:8), that salvation comes through faith, by confessing with our mouths and believing in our hearts that Jesus is Lord (Romans 10:9,10), and the need to call on the Lord for salvation (Romans 10:13) (What Is Roman’s Road?). The sharing of these scriptures opens the door for one to accept salvation. Advantages of Using This Method – There are several advantages to using this method of evangelism. First, for those that are new to witnessing to others the Roman’s Road offers a solid Biblical plan to winning souls. This method is laid out so that even children and the newest Christian would be able to share Christ with others using the scriptures. Secondly, the plan exposes the non-believer to the scriptures. Thirdly, this method is effective in reaching those that accept that the Bible is the Word of God and are willing to accept its teachings. Disadvantages of Using This Method – The Romans Road method of evangelism could be seen as methodical in its approach thus, making it appear inpersonal. One would have to cautious to not use Romans...

...HOW TO WRITE A MARKETING PLAN How to Write a Marketing Plan What is a Marketing Plan A marketing plan provides direction for your marketing activities. Marketing plans need not be long or cost a lot to put together. Think of it as a road map, with detailed directions on how to get to your destination. Sure there may be a few bumps in the road, perhaps a diversion or two, but if the marketing plan is carefully researched, thoughtfully considered and evaluated, it will help the organization achieve its goals. The marketing plan details what you want to accomplish with your marketing strategy and helps you meet your objectives. The marketing plan: • Allows the organization to look internally in order to fully understand the impact and results of past marketing decisions. • Allows the organization to look externally in order to fully understand the market in which it chooses to compete. • Sets future goals and provides direction for future marketing efforts that everyone in the organization should understand and support. • Is a key component in obtaining funding to pursue new initiatives. A marketing plan includes these elements: • • • • • • Summary and Introduction Marketing Objectives Situation Analysis Target Markets Strategies Tracking and Evaluation 1 How do I begin?

The museum has a good location and convenient parking, and even though the new facility was relatively close to its previous location the move may have changed the demographics plus the museum seems to have not changed their marketing approach. The museum is also faced with a hindrance, they can not display all their collections at the same time and they might want to rethink this process based on the demographics of the immediate areas. Giving more time to the certain displays taking in account everything from age to the ethnic background of the populous of the surrounding area. The bottom line in this entire case is that you have to address the important issues and exhibits that are most important to the community.

...comfortable making a presentation in front of school board members, the superintendent, and other management personnels. With that thought in my head, my initial excitement about coming to this board meeting faded away. Instead of listening to the presentation and discussion, I started to daydream about my future as a school administrator. Many questions came to my mind. How am I going to be a great school administrator? What happens if my data is not as promising as other schools? What would my consequences be if my students do not meet their goals? How would the data from a poor neighborhood compare to one at the well-to-do neighborhood? As the meeting continued, there were many reports given regarding district plans, school visitations, LCAP, and many other projects. One report was about school remodeling or renovation, one was about PBIS implementations, and another was about plans to use the newly built STEAM center. After listening to all the reports, I had a very good idea why principals are mandated to attend these meetings. Some of the information being shared had great impact on each school site within the district. Putting myself as an administrator, I felt like these are information that I can’t miss. These were crucial information that I need to make to share with my staff. There were several things that I walked away with from this board meeting. First of all, I realized that there were six distinct groups at the meeting: the board members, the management...
