...Complex Sentences Exercise (See related pages) ------------------------------------------------- Top of Form Directions: Determine the independent clause in each sentence. Example | Although too little sleep is an effect of stress, too little sleep can cause stress. | | a. Although too little sleep is an effect of stress | | b. too little sleep can cause stress | | | Explanation | The answer is b. The most important thought the author wants readers to understand is that too little sleep can cause stress. The dependent clause, which is introduced by although, tells readers information the author considers less important, that too little sleep is an effect of stress (that is, people who are stressed may not sleep well). Notice that if you read the dependent clause aloud to someone and stopped there, the listener would expect you to add something more. The dependent clause does not make complete sense by itself. | | | | 1 | | Although we know the benefits of exercise, most of us don't know that a brisk after-dinner stroll can help with digestion. | | | A) | Although we know the benefits of exercise | | | B) | most of us don't know that a brisk after-dinner stroll can help with digestion | | | | | | | | 2 | | People need to be able to share their fears, frustrations, and joys, so it's important for us to develop a network of people we can share our feelings with. | | | A) | People need to be able to share their fears...

...Lyric Censorship: Language is Power Words create powerful emotions in all of us. They are used to express our feelings, thoughts and ideas, as well as communicate with one another. There are countless examples in history where we see language equating power. Within those examples we see people in the position of power, using this power of language to degrade their enemies and those they consider beneath them, and shape language in their favor. Music ties into language completely. The words of song lyrics convey powerful messages. As language is power, those in control seek to repress the power of this language in music, attempting to keep the power in their favor. But this attempt at censorship only gives those words even more influence and any attempt to infringe our right to free speech should be fought for to prevent its loss. The censorship of lyrics has occurred globally and can be dated back as far as music and poetry can be traced. Let’s take Asia as an example. Under the ruling of the Taliban in Afghanistan, music became a crime (Korpe, 2004). Instruments were burned, and people were severely punished for singing or creating any kind of music that was not deemed acceptable by the government. In Kabal, President Rabbani went as far as to create an Office for the Propagation of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice, which was used to regulate the lyric of song in the favor of the government, and punish those who spoke ill towards those in power. In Pakistan...

...Part 1: Is the topic too broad? No, it is not too board because we are concentrating on the effect of music lyrics on a specific age group, which is youth. Can the problem really be investigated? Yes of course it can be investigated because teenagers nowadays get exposed to music more than ever before. So they can be observed and the results can be analyzed. Can the data be analyzed? Yes the data can be analyzed through content analysis of different kinds of music and music lyrics. Can the results of the study be generalized? Yes the results can be generalized because teenagers get expose do different kinds of music with different lyrics and I am not only examining one kind of music. I’m researching the effect of all kinds of music lyrics on youth. What time is involved in the analysis? The time does not really play an important role in this research since we are not focusing on a specific musical era; but the questions we mainly about contemporary song lyrics. Is the planned approach appropriate to the project? Yes, I believe that the questionnaire was the most helpful tool to analyze the effect of music lyrics. The content analysis also made me compare the answers of the people and it helped me discover how music lyrics affect each person differently. Is there is any potential harm to the subjects? No, there is no harm to the subjects. Part 2: Write a paragraph about your problem’s significance: With the recent technological advancement, youth are now being...

Children leading others is a very powerful re-inforcer and motivator. 2) Injecting backing tracks into lessons at key points • allows you ‘pick up’ or ‘calm down’ a lesson depending upon the mood. • allows you to overlay any lyrical content that you want to highlight from your lesson. • You can use songs from Sing Up website but you can also simply use the backing tracks of some key songs Example Let’s Dance backing track from Sing Up website Suggest some lyrics to practise to this track from any work you have done today. Can you see a way in which children could be asked to suggest some simple lyrics that summarise key points of a lesson? How would engaging children creatively in the song help them to learn the content of your lessons? How would it affect their attention and involvement? What other ‘support’ might you need to give then to help them come up with some lyrical ideas? How could you build this in to the work you do on a topic so that this support is already there before you play the track? eg: Key word...

...Factors such as globalization that leads to new technology, free flow of capital, increased competition, demand for innovation, changes in customer demand, changes in economic, and political structures are constantly reshaping the way business is carried out (Buckley and Carter, 2000; Thorne and Smith, 2001). Previous research has acknowledged the fact that organizations have begun to realize that sustainable advantage relies on managing intangible resources such as the knowledge embedded assets. According to Stewart (2002), in the 21st century, knowledge embedded assets have become more important to the organizations than financial and physical assets. Therefore, in order to compete in this millennium, organizations must have the ability to create value, be agile and sensitive to the market. Knowledge embedded assets like ideas, practices, talents, skills, know-how, know-what, relationships and innovations, that arise from the creation of IC, have become a pre-eminent economic resource and the basis for competitive advantage (Stewart, 2002; Finney, Campbell and Powell, 2004; Demediuk, 2002; Graves, 2002). According to Sveiby (1997), knowledge embedded assets can be found in three areas: the competencies of the employees; organization’s internal structure such as patents, models, computer and administrative systems; and organization’s external structure such as brands, reputations, relationship with customers and suppliers. Stewart (2002), on the other hand, suggests that knowledge...

...success. (Lohr, 2002) has found that a trillion dollars is annually spent to analyze, store, and retrieve knowledge. However, such investment is effective in maintaining explicit knowledge but was not proven effective in case of tacit knowledge where knowledge is highly personal and difficult – if not impossible – to reduce to writing. On the other hand, previous literature showed that the willingness of organizational members to share and use tacit knowledge may depend on the extent that co-workers are trusted recipients and sources while some other studies have found that trust has a multi-faceted nature. McAllister (1995) developed and tested empirically the distinctiveness of two forms of trust: 1. affect-based trust, which is grounded in mutual care and concern between workers; and 2. cognition-based trust, which is grounded in co-worker reliability and competence. Nevertheless, no research was found to examine the differential effects of both affect-based and cognition-based trust on employee willingness to share and use tacit knowledge. This study, hence, adds to the literature about the practical understanding of the knowledge transfer process by exploring the effects of both affect-based and cognition-based trust on the willingness of employees to share and use tacit knowledge. Literature Review Explicit knowledge is easily articulated or reduced to writing, is often impersonal and formal in nature, and frequently takes the form of documents, reports, ‘‘white papers’’...

...Gendered Violence in Browning’s Poems “My Last Duchess” and “Porphyria’s Lover”, both written by Robert Browning in 1842, contain strong elements of gendered sexual violence that is likely a product of the repression and censorship that typified the Victorian Age. While “Porphyria’s Lover” is much more graphic and obvious in its depiction of sexual violence, “My Last Duchess” contains a number of elements that are dark and disturbing in their own right. Most important of these is the objectification of the duchess, which reduces her identity to that of another display in a collection. Both similarities and differences between the poems will be analyzed, including theme, symbolism, rhyme scheme, tone, and the nature of the sexual violence itself. This will show that the gendered sexual violence present in Browning’s poems is indicative of their historical context, primarily the social norms of the time. There are strong similarities between the two poems, particularly in theme, where both poems display a preservation of the mens’ idea of the feminine in a form that fit their ideal. In “My Last Duchess” this is seen in the opening lines, “That's my last Duchess painted on the wall / Looking as if she were alive . . .” and a little later in lines nine and ten, when it is revealed that the Duke keeps the painting curtained so that only he can enjoy the sight and smile of his late wife (1-2,9-10). In “Porphyria’s Lover” the theme is present in the narrator’s desire to fix Porphyria...

...University teaching is based on research, or in other words, a continuous process of knowledge creation based on existing knowledge. Before researched knowledge can be applied to teaching, it must be defined explicitly. The research knowledge is codified into reports and articles so it could be transferred to others for teaching or additional research. Lecturers base their teaching on explicit knowledge from research reports in addition to previous teaching. The lecturers need to know how to realize the research information into a transferrable form. This requires conversion between explicit and tacit knowledge. A teacher has to know how to implement the most concrete bits of information into a sensible part of a course. Most importantly, a teacher has to know how to combine multiple bits of information to form a coherent and understandable entity of tacit knowledge. When the teacher has accomplished this, the new knowledge has become a part of his know-how. After this realization process the teacher can share with other teachers, socialize, to deepen his tacit knowledge of the subject. The mission of a university teacher is ultimately to enlighten students on a defined subject. To do this, a teacher cannot transfer whole blocks of knowledge from her brain without any conversions. The teacher has to roughen her knowledge down to the nearest common context and define it explicitly, so that the students will be able to comprehend the subject. This is why thinking about competence...

...ISSN 1648-2603 ● VIEŠOJI POLITIKA IR ADMINISTRAVIMAS ● 2004. Nr. 13 Accountability and Responsibility in Organizations: the Ethics of Discretion Raymond W. Cox III University of Akron Akron, Ohio, USA The article presents a comprehensive approach to the administrative discretion. The objective of the paper has been to outline a perspective and patterns of behaviour, which are helpful defining "discretion in action". Theoretical discussion on the issue has been extended towards practical implications. Author stresses, that establishing a decision-making architecture, leaders of the organization can create learning and supportive environment, which encourages appropriate and limited use of discretion. Raktažodžiai: atskaitomybė, atsakomybė, diskretiškumas, etika, korupcija, sprendimų priėmimas. Keywords: accountability, responsibility, discretion, ethics, corruption, decision making. Introduction Few aspects of Public Administration engender more controversy than the idea of discretion. For most, the attitude toward the exercise of discretion must be described as ambiguous and even ambivalent. While the necessity of the exercise of discretion is not disputed, there is little agreement on the normative foundation (Bryner, 1987) for that activity. Yet without a normative foundation, there is little basis upon which to judge the exercise of discretion. Recent literature on ethical practices in the governments of Africa has boldly asserted that discretion leads to the breakdown...

...'What are the four definitions of organization? An organization can be define by four main factors including: the group of people, persons, acting together in synergy for a common and specific purpose; the economic actors following economic goals and the economic impact on their environment; the accumulation of knowledge and learning of the different actors composing the organization; and the bundle of the different type of resources available for it. As a collection of people, stakeholders are the ones directly or indirectly connected to the organization. These actors have an interest in all its activities. The internal ones, directly involved in the organization (such as employees for example) are implicated in organizational politics and submitted to a hierarchy usually well define. As an economic actor, organization involve buyers and sellers of products or services. This concept induce the fact that the organization must be profitable and generate revenue producing what it sells, and so at an acceptable price and cost. To be able to do this, its different costs and efficiency must be well controlled to adapt, in its industry, to its market conditions. As an accumulation of knowledge and learnings, the organization is also define as a history of way of doing things, adapting its processes to ameliorate the work which have to be done, by putting in place some routines for example. And what enrich the organization is also all the tacit knowledge coming from the...
