...1 Laura Quick Professor Lisa Mastrangelo College Writing November 25, 2014 What's in Your Jewelry Box? Today's Passing Fancy - Tomorrow's Message from the Past What’s in your jewelry box? The answer to that question says a lot about you, your personality, the life you’ve lived and possibly even the lives of your parents and grandparents. Whether it’s fine gold or diamond jewelry, the latest fashion jewelry, your grandmother’s pearls, a ring with birthstones for each of your children, the necklace received from your husband on a wedding anniversary or a combination of these things, the contents of your jewelry box communicates visual messages about you to others. As an avid collector and seller of vintage jewelry, researching the items I collect is part of the process and often provides education regarding various periods in history. When researching a specific item of jewelry; the style, when it was made, and of what material, it also gives me impressions about the life of the person who wore the item being researched. Over several years, I’ve learned that jewelry has played an important economic, societal and emotional role in human lives throughout history. Jewelry is a wearable art form that can communicate emotion and information to others, even after the wearer is gone. A news article written by Kate Ravilious for National Geographic News online entitled Oldest Jewelry Found in Morocco Cave, described a cache of 82,000 year-old shells found by a team of archaeologists...

...Glossary of musical terminology From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search This is a list of musical terms that are likely to be encountered in printed scores, music reviews, and program notes. Most of the terms are Italian (see also Italian musical terms used in English), in accordance with the Italian origins of many European musical conventions. Sometimes, the special musical meanings of these phrases differ from the original or current Italian meanings. Most of the other terms are taken from French and German, indicated by "(Fr)" and "(Ger)", respectively. Others are from languages such as Portuguese, Latin, and Spanish. Unless specified, the terms are Italian or English. The list can never be complete: some terms are common, and others are used only occasionally, and new ones are coined from time to time. Some composers prefer terms from their own language rather than the standard terms here.

...LAB - RADIAL FLOW REACTION TURBINE Objectives: To measure volume flow rate, input head, hydraulic input power, torque, brake power & turbine efficiency when the brake force is increase Theoretical Background: Radial flow When a fluid flows radially inwards or outwards from a centre, between two parallel planes as in Fig. 6.21, the streamlines will be radial straight lines and the streamtubes will be in forms of sectors. The area of flow will therefore increase as the radius increases, causing the velocity to decrease. Since the flow pattern is symmetrical, the total energy per unit weight H will be the same for all streamlines and for all points along each streamlines if we assume that there is no loss of energy. [pic] Figure 6.21 If v is the radial velocity and p is the pressure at any radius r, H = p/ρg + v²/2g = constant …………………………(6.31) Applying the continuity of flow equation flow and assuming that the density of the fluid remains constant, as would be the case for the fluid, Volume rate of flow, Q = area x velocity = 2πrb x v where b is the distance between the planes. Thus, v = Q/2πrb and substituting in equation………(6.31) p/ρg + Q²/ 8π²r²b² = H p = ρg [ H – ( Q²/ 8π²b² ) x ( 1/r² )] …………………..(6.32) If the pressure p at any radius r is plotted in Fig. 6.21(c), the curve will be parabolic and is sometimes referred to as Barlow’s curve. If the flow discharges to the atmosphere at the...

...Group Dynamics Most people within the organizations belong to some formal work group that establishes temporary or permanent groups to accomplish tasks and achievements. These groups consist of different people within the organization who work together to accomplish objectives of the company (Jex & Britt, 2008). It is important that there is an examination of the behavior of the groups so that a complete understanding of the behavior is obtained. There are many types of groups that people become a part of in their everyday life including family, community, church, and within their profession. Memberships to these groups are important because it plays an important role in their behaviors and attitudes. This paper will identify an organizational group of which I have been a part of and will give analysis of the group dynamics of my chosen group. As a part of the analysis the group will be described including the purpose, goals, and demographic nature such as gender, education, and so forth. The stages are development experienced by the group is described and the structure and effect of the structure on the effectiveness of the group is written to help readers understand the importance of the group.

...The Most Important Characteristic of a Successful Group In my opinion the most important characteristic of a successful group is the Information seeker. It asks for clarification, facts and current information about the group. An information seeker is a very important person in a group because it has the ability to clarify any arguments, ideas and opinions with ease. A very good example of clarification would be that a person in the group will come up with many brainstorming ideas and opinions and is the job of the information seeker to organize and clear every theme so everyone in the group can understand what the topic is being discussed. One of the main problems in a group is that many of the group members sometimes don’t understand the material that is being discussed and more often feel very lost in the process, the information seeker does notice these problems and minimizes it’s stated in the paragraph before, the information seeker gathers facts and current information and it makes it easier for everyone in the group to understand everything that is being discussed. The information seeker also wants to stay current on the topic so it also incorporates a lot of current events regarding the information given. It is very important for an information seeker to keep every opinion and facts in order so the group can get a better understating and keep good moral in the group. In conclusion I do believe that information seeker is the most important characteristic of a successful...

Appendix & References ABSTRACT Purpose - To research on the possible operational problems that may lead to excessive patients’ waiting time. “Priority Operating” changes with time as a patient waits for service and resource gives due consideration to hierarchy present in the skill and selects next available patient for treatment. A patient’s experience in waiting time will radically influence his/her perceptions on quality of the service and to minimizing the cost of carrying excess capacity. Our project aimed at improving the patient experience in the critical care by looking into the problem of excessive wait times in the Critical care and we will identified variations in the critical care and how it is staffed and managed. Although these variations have the potential to sabotage efforts to reduce surgical wait times within the hospital, they also present significant opportunities for change and improvement.

...How to Run a Focus Group * What is a focus group? A focus group is a small and structured meeting of approximately 8 – 10 people. Discussion revolves around a set of pre-determined topics to give you a set of rich qualitative information. Although focus groups take a while to set up and require a budget to run, once done, they can prove an efficient way of getting detailed information on a subject. Expect a focus group to give you a range of views from your target audience, and to find out why people hold these views. A focus group can take place either before or after your event, depending on what you want to find out. For example, if you want to know what motivates your audience to attend an event you might choose to run a focus group before they have seen an event. However, if the information you need is about their opinions of the event itself, then you will obviously need to take them to see something first. * Preparing for Session Invite around 6 to 8 people to participate for a session to last for about an hour. Then, prepare an agenda including a list of the top-level issues to be tackled (if appropriate). Prepare an introduction script explaining the purpose of the day and how the day will be run. This can include issues of consent and fire regulations (if relevant). Be sure to always use a quiet room with few distractions and arrange people in a circle (possibly around a table). * Developing Questions When you go into the group, go in prepared. Don't...

...small groups of people may consist of diverse races, cultures, genders, ethics, religions, personality traits, and behaviors. Team members can successfully collaborate their skills to accomplish a common goal or task High-performance teams have core values; clear performance objectives; the right mix of skills; and diverse creativity (Hunt, J., Osborn, R., Schermerhorn, J., 2005). Open systems, group input factors, group dynamics, and inter-group dynamics are some sources that can help a group to become a high-performance team. These high-performance teams can achieve a more effective and efficient productivity when they collaborate in an open system. This system allows all members to add their creativity to the team. Creativity generates unique and novel responses to problems and opportunities (Hunt, J., Osborn, R., Schermerhorn, J., 2005). The group input factors are the brainstorming ideas of the team members to accomplish and perfect the task. The group dynamics are the successful ways the members interact to get the task completed. Inter-group dynamics is the energy...
