...within a company will work to earn that goal. However, if there is not potential to improve within the company and there is no incentive or competition among employees, employees will do the minimum that their job requires to get paid and keep their job. Healthy competition increase productivity and encourages employees to work at their best rather than settling for ordinary. In the end, I feel providing an opportunity to improve and grow encourages them to see a bigger potential and work diligently toward a realistic short term goal. This not only benefits the individual employees, but also results in greater efficiency for the company and the team from which the employee belongs. Reading: Benton & Wagener 1. What is the underlying view of a person that is the basis for Beaton and Wagener’s idea that organizations should serve human flourishing? The underlying view of a person is that much of our identity is tied up in the nature of the work we do. Since people invest many hours into their workplace, Beaton and Wagener feel it is important that they receive pay off through the form of development and flourishing. In order to do that, Beaton and Wagener suggest companies take time to get to know their employees through leadership and management. Companies should also learn how to effectively communicate with their employees. Communicating effectively not only allows the employee to know what is expected of them, but also what they can expect to gain from the company. An effective...

...Coco Chanel Fashion designer. Born on August 19, 1883, in Saumur, France. With her trademark suits and little black dresses, Coco Chanel created timeless designs that are still popular today. She herself became a much revered style icon known for her simple yet sophisticated outfits paired with great accessories, such as several strands of pearls. As Chanel once said,“luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it is not luxury.” Her early years, however, were anything but glamorous. After her mother’s death, Chanel was put in an orphanage by her father who worked as a peddler. She was raised by nuns who taught her how to sew—a skill that would lead to her life’s work. Her nickname came from another occupation entirely. During her brief career as a singer, Chanel performed in clubs in Vichy and Moulins where she was called “Coco.” Some say that the name comes from one of the songs she used to sing, and Chanel herself said that it was a “shortened version of cocotte, the French word for ‘kept woman,” according to an article in The Atlantic. Around the age of 20, Chanel became involved with Etienne Balsan who offered to help her start a millinery business in Paris. She soon left him for one of his even wealthier friends, Arthur “Boy” Capel. Both men were instrumental in Chanel’s first fashion venture. Opening her first shop on Paris’s Rue Cambon in 1910, Chanel started out selling hats. She later added stores in Deauville and Biarritz and began making clothes. Her first...

...society (Haralambos & Holborn, 2008). This is one way in which the mainstream theorist sought to justify the invisibility of women and assigned roles based on the sex of the individuals. Women has always been viewed or defined by the role she is assigned by society, for which I consider to be socially constructed. However, the role women played in the home is domesticated in the role of homemaker and caregiver, thus, when we examine women’s work, we primarily think of the work that women do at home, their unpaid domestic labour. The old adage ‘women’s work is never done’ speaks to the various household tasks for which women are assumed to take overall responsibility. Many theorist used the biological theory as to heighten why women is best suited for some jobs rather than others. In reality we know that not all women are capable of assuming the role of the caring, nurturing and domesticated type, just as not all male are able to display a rough, tough and superior exterior. According Stoller, it was stated that it does not necessarily follow that being a woman means being ‘feminine’, nor that being a man means behaving in a ‘masculine’ way, girls are not necessarily caring and compassionate boys do not have to be aggressive and competitive (Haralambos & Holborn, 2008). However there is also another class of work which society tends to classify as...

...Nasopharyngitis, commonly known as the common cold or Upper respiratory infection (URI), has been the leading cause of illness in the world to date. (Monto, 1995) The Australian population files millions of cases of the common cold every year with two to four colds per year. (Gwaltney, 2002) The common cold is the reason why there are over 20 million visits to the doctor and is the most common illness reported. (Braun et al., 2000). Vitamin C was introduced in the 1930’s In relation to treating respiratory infections. Once isolated It became world wide treatment when Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling explained from his placebo-controlled trials that Vitamin C would prevent and cure the common cold in the 1970’s (Carr AB, 2010) Since then Vitamin C has been widely used as a therapeutic and preventative agent to combat the common cold. Over the past few decades’ studies have shown that when taken daily it may assist in reducing the symptoms, duration and severity of the common cold. (Gwaltney, 2002) This review will give insight into the truth of Vitamin C and the common cold outlining the validity and truth behind the treatment with investigations of over 20 studies examined. The common cold Viruses are the main cause for Nasopharyngitis, commonly known as the common cold or Upper respiratory infection. Treatment usually is in the form of antibiotics or cough and cold medications over the counter. Other medications usually used are inhaled corticosteroids, Echinacea and...

...Class A In a class A IP address, the first byte represents the network. The most significant bit (the first bit, that to the left) is at zero which means that there are 27 (00000000 to 01111111) network possibilities, which is 128 possibilities However, the 0 network (bits valuing 00000000) does not exist and number 127 is reserved to indicate your machine. The networks available in class A are therefore networks going from 1.0.0.0 to 126.0.0.0 (the last bytes are zeros which indicate that this is indeed a network and not computers!) The three bytes to the left represent the computers on the network, the network can therefore contain a number of computers equal to: 224-2 = 16,777,214 computers. The first class address to discuss is a class A address, which has a default subnet mask of 255.0.0.0, meaning the first octet is the network ID portion and the last three octets are the host ID portion of the address. This allows for 16,777,214 hosts on the network —a very big network! To calculate how many hosts can exist on the network, you use the formula of 2<# of host bits>. For example, 12.x.y.z is a class A address with a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0. This means there are 24 bits (the last 3 octets) that make up the host ID portion, so the formula is 224 = 16,777,216. But I said there were 16,777,214 hosts on the network. Is my math wrong? No, after you use the formula to calculate the number of hosts you subtract 2 from it because there are two addresses on every...

...Oil palm plantation business models As of early 2011, oil palm plantations covered 7.8 million ha in Indonesia, out of which 6.1 million ha were productive plantations under harvest (Slette and Wiyono 2011). In 2010, these plantations produced 22 million tons of CPO and the production increased further to 23.6 million tons by the end of 2011. Most plantations, as well as CPO production, are located in Sumatra and Kalimantan (Indonesian part of Borneo). Between 1997 and 2006, 400,000 ha of oil palm plantations were established annually. Between 2007 and 2010, the size of annual establishment of oil palm plantations declined to 350,000 ha (Slette and Wiyono 2011). As new land available for plantations becomes more limited, annual development of plantation is expected to continue its gradual decline. However, over the next few years, land concessions already allocated for oil palm and not yet developed are sufficiently large to allow plantation estates to continue growing. There are three main types of business models for oil palm cultivation in Indonesia: private large-scale plantations and two types of smallholder models, i.e., nucleus estate smallholders, or NES, and independent smallholders. Smallholders manage nearly half of the overall plantation area; unfortunately government statistics do not distinguish between different types of smallholders. It is believed that smallholder operations have contributed significantly to the expansion of oil palm estates in recent...

...Creativity CREATIVE THINKING—DOWN ROADS LESS TRAVELLED Original ideas have changed the course of human history. Much of what we now take for granted in art, medicine, music, technology, and science was once regarded as radical or impossible. How do creative thinkers achieve the breakthroughs that carry us into new realms? Creativity is elusive. Nevertheless, psychologists have learned a great deal about how creativity occurs and how to promote it. We have seen that problem solving may be mechanical, insightful, or based on understanding. To this we can add that thinking may be inductive (going from specific facts or observations to general principles) or deductive (going from general principles to specific situations). Thinking may also be logical (proceeding from given information to new conclusions on the basis of explicit rules) or illogical (intuitive, associative, or personal). What distinguishes creative thinking from more routine problem solving? Creative thinking involves all of these thinking styles, plus fluency, flexibility, and originality. Let’s say that you would like to find creative uses for the millions of automobile tires discarded each year. The creativity of your suggestions could be rated in this way: Fluency is defined as the total number of suggestions you are able to make. Flexibility is the number of times you shift from one class of possible uses to another. Originality refers to how novel or unusual your ideas are. By counting the number of times you...

...CHAPTER ONE 1.0 BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY Attitude as a concept is concerned with an individual way of thinking, acting and behaving. It has very serious implications for the learner, the teacher, the immediate social group with which the individual learner relates and the entire school system. Attitudes are formed as a result of some kind of learning experiences. They may also be learned simply by following the example of opinion of parent, teacher or friend., this is mimicry or imitation, which also has a part to play in the teaching and learning situation. In this respect, the learner draws from his teacher’s education to inform his own attitude which may likely affect his earning outcomes. In his observational theory, Bandura (1971) demonstrated that behavior are acquire by watching another (the model, teacher parent, monitor, friend) that performs the behavior. The model display it and the learner observes and tries to imitate it. Teachers are invariably, role models whose behaviours are easily copied by students. What teachers like or dislike, appreciate and how they feel about their learning or studies could have a significant effect on their students. Unfortunately, however, many teacher seldom realize that how they teach how they behave and how they interact with students can be more paramount than what they interact with students can be attitudes directly what they teach. In a nut shell, teachers’ attitudes directly affect students’ attitudes. Teachers attitude...

Coco Chanel once declared, "Legend is the consecration of celebrity," and no other fashion designer in history has exceeded either Chanel's celebrity or her legend. She was a fiercely independent lover of dukes, industrialists, and artists; a confidante of many of the creative geniuses of her day—among them, writer Jean Cocteau, painter Pablo Picasso, ballet impresario Sergei Diaghilev, and composer Igor Stravinsky; and a self-created image of the free-spirited "new woman" of the 1920s. Through her personal example and the fashion empire she established, Chanel launched and sustained the movement toward simplicity, practicality, and unfussy elegance in women's clothing. "A fashion that does not reach the streets is not a fashion," she said, and by the early years of the 1920s, Chanel fashion had reached streets throughout Europe and the United States. Early Life. Chanel both obscured and embroidered upon the facts of her early life; as one of her biographers declared, "She was herself a Chanel creation." Though she claimed to have been born in Auvergne in 1893, records show that she was actually born in the poorhouse of the town of Saumur ten years earlier. Her mother, a poorhouse employee, and her father, an itinerant tradesman, were...
