...From the moment of birth, humans are social creatures. Indeed, without social interactions (the support of caregivers), no infant would survive. Even when we become capable of living independently, very few people seek to live in isolation. Human behavior is incredibly pliable and plastic. It basically flows from three main sources desire, emotion, and knowledge, where knowledge often remains off the track whilst desires and emotions are much overwhelmed. The beginning is the most important part of the work-Plato. And a start full of doubts, aggression and ignorance can never have a progressive and peaceful end. While Education and Human socio-economic development are concerned with each other thus, it's also important to understand the meaning...

...To the reader, I bet you are wondering what this is all about, or perhaps who I even am. Let us start with a greeting, shall we? Hi, I’m Celina Gonzales, a college freshman taking up BS Legal Management. This E-portfolio encapsulates my entire writing journey of sorts in my ENGLCOM (Basic Communication and Study Skills) course throughout the second term of my first year in university. In here, you will be able to read about various ideas—from the meaning of the word “infinite” beyond the concept taught to us in our Math classes, to the causes of the Philippines’ lagged progress (no, it is not solely due to corruption), and, well, Korean Pop. With all these topics mentioned, I hope you appreciate how much I have grown in terms of flexibility, as I was never comfortable with writing beyond my interests. The entire journey was a roller coaster, thanks to the great deal of papers that came with strict deadlines, high standards, along with numerous revisions inked in either pink, green, red, or blue. However, I believe that all those days figuring out how exactly my professors want me to revise parts of my papers and whatnot are worth it—The innumerable scratch papers that I was armed with in the beginning of the term are gone. I can now write an article of great quality without having to frantically jot down my ideas on a separate sheet of paper. I believe that this growth of mine is impossible without my professors. Therefore, I would like to extend my gratitude to them: To...

...Prior to each treatment session, staff will communicate any pertinent issues that arose during the week that need addressing in her session (noted on therapist communication form). Pertinent issues will be addressed first, then skills training relevant to her supervision, healthy living plan, social skills, independent living, family relationships, and relapse prevention of dangerous behavior (fire setting and drug/alcohol usage) will follow. Therapy will consist of success oriented cognitive behavioral therapy. Other techniques that will be employed include strategies to manage interactions with others, general skill rehearsal, role modeling, and interventions for safety. Valerie’s progress in treatment will be reviewed in quarterly treatment reports and team meetings. Once Valerie has made adequate progress towards her stated goals it is likely that sessions will be reduced to every other...

...behavior to improve day-to-day functioning of those affected. The theory focuses on the environmental factors before and following the target behavior, we want to change. Learning new more adaptive behaviors, will lead to more rewarding behaviors and make the person happier (Rappaport, 2013). In Dwight’s case, his excessive drinking has caused injury to his child, which resulted in him losing his family. His doctor has told him that he is showing early symptoms of cirrhosis of the liver. His attempts to decrease his alcohol consumption on his own have been unsuccessful. How: I will start by discussing the concept of how changing one undesirable behavior at a time and increasing desirable behaviors can improve the day-to-day and moment to moment functioning of his family. I will introduce to him how learning more adaptive behaviors can lead to a happier life. Then we will discuss his every day behaviors and write them down, placing them in the desirable or undesirable column. I will discuss with Dwight that his ex-wife has agreed to allow him to visit with the children, for an hour, after he gets off work. I will explain that he can only see his children if he has not been drinking. I will ask Dwight if this sounds like something that could help him decrease the amount he drinks. If Dwight agrees that this will help then we will discuss his homework. I will give him a calendar and his...

...Continental AG - Making a tough call (A) Abstract The international management program IMP was found to challenge individuals, working in a community. These challenges, projects of importance which require high amount of attention were designed for participants as first business experience. This cross-national working together is guided by a mentor. The program is designed to take about seven months in addition to the regular work. This article deals with the key difficulties present in the International management program IMP 2000 project group consisting of three Continental AG workers, Meier, Winkel, and Caldwell. This case study consists of analyzing methods of the performance of the IMP team with management theories. Team leadership and development and how the theory of shared leadership explains the difficulties managed by the group. Tuckmans linear model, including the five stages of team development, forming, storming, norming, performing and adjourning will play an important role in explaining the teams failures in a more structuralized approach. Furthermore advisees addressed to Dammermann and the teams management group, attempting to settle the failure of the IMP project group. Focusing on improving communication, team building, and the utilization of a moving system to increase team and individual focus. An Unclear direction emphasizes how important a clear team direction is according to the team structure. How group performance and norms fit with those...

...of an accumulation of many small or significant moments of progress and therefore can be considered a success. For example, at birth we are automatically exposed to an immediate unconscious attraction to a cycle of success and since we have taken our first breath of air, a valuable sense gains control and helps support our attraction or need for oxygen. The exposure of countless meaningful occurrences of success can lead to a cycle of positive recollection and meaningful experiences. Similarly, a cycle of success occurs when...

My AHA Moment I have very fortunate that I am completing my clinical experience at Wayland Bonds Elementary School (WB). I worked at the WB from 2005-2008 then I transferred to the ASC (Administrative Service Center). Also, my children attended WB as students. All this to say, I feel at home there.

... Patient experience: 60% of our patients will rate us very good for the question information about delays on the press ganey survey. I will form a focus group and then educate the rest of the staff. I will look at the press ganey website monthly to check our progress. I want to have this goal met by 12/2014. A. For patient experience we averaged a 62.7% of patients rated us very good on the question information about delays. This goal was met. We have focused on making it a point to let the front staff know about delays as well as when the providers get called away. The nurses also go out into the lobby and announce if the provider is called away and what the time frame is. 2. Great placed to work: All staff and providers will attend 1 event outside of work together. I will create a group of staff to come up with ideas and what type of event we will do. This group will meet monthly to discuss progress. This goal will be met by 09/30/2014. A. This goal was met. We all got together this summer for a picnic. 3. Population health management: By October 2014 we will have 50% of our patients signed up on the portal and of those 50%, 5% will be active. All staff will be involved and educated. I will be able to track progress by viewing the monthly report. A. This goal was not met. We averaged 93.5% of our patients are signed up for the portal, but only 1.25% of these patients are active. All patients who were signed up on portal and had a visit with us would receive a follow up portal...

...history is being made today. In the beginning of the United States, battles and wars must occur for our freedom to progress. Thousands of heroic soldiers died just to keep that independence that every person in the United States could have. Leadership and unity were taught for the survival of the country to take place. George Washington was one of the most important leaders in U.S history. He led wars and the 13 colonies as the first president. Many major events, famous people, and informational education are what molded the United States of America to what it is today. George Washington is an excellent example of history that should be recorded instead of many ridiculous situations that is going to be put down in history for the...

...The idea and belief that your country will continue to prosper and advance for the betterment of the nation is held true. The influence of our belief in the American exceptionalism keeps the faith afloat. Today, people do knock the health care acts and reforms, forcing everyone to have healthcare, even if they cannot afford it, or businesses cannot provide it. Yes, indeed, this is a gain and a loss, you have protection of the people for health but are putting businesses out of business if they cannot provide. Keeping faith in progress and changes, like citizens did so many years ago when our nation began to get founded and governed, is...

...artificial intelligence. I read news articles, journals, books, blogs, and watched online lectures to get this information. The topics that will be discussed are the first mention of anything remotely related in AI in history, then when actual progress was made, what that progress was and its stages, then the most popular artificial intelligence machines created, and finally ending on the discussion of the future of AI and the possibility of the singularity. Artificial Intelligence in Society Introduction Unbeknownst to me at the time my first experience with artificial intelligence was playing video games. I must have been at the ripe age of 5 already feverishly enjoying my Super Nintendo and Mario games. It never occurred to me the coding, algorithms, and all the hard work that was required to have the computer, my “opponent,” be challenging. My only assumption was it was always like that. It wasn’t until years later did I get the opportunity to see how artificial intelligence (AI) began. AI didn’t start so children could have fun; it started because some men had a dream, a dream to create artificial intelligent machine. The topics I will cover will be one of the first mentions of AI, the beginning of what we currently call AI, current AI systems that were used, and the future of what is to come. Ancient History The first mention of anything remotely related to AI involved imagination. It was in an ancient Greek myth by Homer, a poet. “He wrote of mechanical ‘tripods’ waiting...

...alphabet soup of sorts. This is the way I felt while in the first grade. The teacher had set a progress report on my table that was to be handed to my parents. I ran all the way home exited and impatient. I don’t even remember looking both ways when crossing streets along the way. I just wanted to get home as fast as I could. As soon as I arrived, I just flung the door open and ran into the house searching for my mother. I found her in the laundry room folding clothes that she had just finished ironing. At home, my family always spoke Spanish, English was hardly if ever used. So I practically threw the progress card toward her. “Mama mira lo que me dio la profesora para ti!” My mother took the card and looked at it. Then she flipped it over and looked at it again. She had a puzzled look on her face as she turned it back to the front. I just looked up at her with big round eyes waiting for an explanation as to the secret that it held. “Que es lo que dice?” “Se lo daremos a tu padre cuando llege.” “Pero que dice?” “Tendras que esperarte.” Great, why won’t she tell me, what the big secret is? I will have to wait for my dad to get done playing G.I. Joe. That is what he called being in the Army. The grandfather clock in the corner of the room just ticked and seemed like the hands would barely move. I could not tell time with that clock, but I knew that while mom was making dinner, my father could walk in at any moment. As I was washing my hands before...

...heart and some new information that leads him on a journey of identity and curiosity. Guy Montag is the main character in the story; he is the support on which all other characters rest, and the character which all other characters revolve around. The effect Bradbury creates of him is that he is an ignorant, naïve person. His faith in all humanity is crippled from the first page, and is further strained by Clarisse McClellan. Montag's actions are most often rash, with little or no thought attached to them, which is implemented by Bradbury as a metaphor to Montag's socialisation: acting for the moment on impulse, rather then thinking deeply before acting. This is illustrated on page 70, when he makes books out to be some sort of godly invention; something that would give sense and reason to the world; a problem solver. He also forms deep attachments to people who seem willing to be his allies, which further illustrates Bradbury pouring in a sense of incompleteness in the development of Montag. In addition to this, Montag is constantly compelled to resist society, and resist the status quo. Upon his reading of the first book, he is confused by the immensity and complexity of the book as he tries to find deeper understanding of the world. Again this is illustrated not only on page 70 but also in the later sections of the book where he seeks out Faber's help in understanding. Once told to do something he most often does it, which can be described on page 38, when he is told by one of...

...“When we give ourselves permission to fail, we, at the same time, give ourselves permission to excel.” This a quote from Eloise Ristad that has stuck with me throughout my life. It is a quote that has gotten me pass the failures that I have had. Of course failure can be fundamental to later success but that is not what is felt in the moment. Sometimes these moments can be devastating and hard to get past but with realizing that comes a great opportunity to progress and learn. It was my junior year of high school and I was trying out for next year’s cheerleading season. I had been cheering since I was in junior high school and even before then for club teams. This was my fifth consecutive year of trying out for Troy’s team and I was especially...
