...Reflective report on 3 aspects of training assessment performed with student I asked Leanne (student) to provide three reflective reports on random training she had received in-house from myself. Each one is dated 9th, 17th and 26th January 2012 respectively. The three were quite interesting for Leanne, as one was her first ever fitting of a hearing aid, the second was observational on a unique type of specialist hearing aid, and the third was assessing of a patient for hearing aid suitability. It was agreed that these three sessions encompassed all aspects in Audiology she may come across in her future career. For example, she can fit a hearing aid, she can assess a patient and she has learnt that not all fittings are straight forward, for those presenting with a unique problem(s). The end product is patient satisfaction, provide a solution for the patient and to support that in practise. Leanne has come on in leaps and bounds since her early days in the department. She is confident, but finds it difficult to ask questions. However, she does manage talk about things in the appointment through her reflective reporting. This is something I may need to talk with her about when I have the final meeting with her. But I am not overly concerned at this moment in time. The 3 reflective reports that Leanne produces is of good quality, informative and reasonably accurate. It also highlights aspects of training she mentions that we both have undertaken together in the appointment...

...The Absolute True Diary of a Part-Time Indian On The Outside Looking In Being an outsider in a new place is never easy. One has to do twice the work to make friends, and fit in. While reading the novel, I could relate to the character of Arnold Spirit. The obstacles he faced going to a new school, with a different culture reminded me of struggles I faced myself when I started school in America. Trying to “fit in” to a culture foreign of your own is especially hard when you’re a teenager like Arnold, and you haven’t even figured out who you really are yet yourself. Fortunately, time goes on, and we overcome our battles eventually. They say “sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” My very own name used to wound my self-esteem. During my several years at elementary school, I struggled to fit in with all of my classmates and friends. The thing I had the biggest problem with was being Bosnian, and the way my name was spelled. S-E-J-L-A, pronounced “shayla.” Every morning before we’d start class, the whole school would have to listen to the announcements on the loudspeaker made by the principle. They included the pledge of allegiance, the weather, special events for the day/week, and birthdays. That meant that the whole school would hear the principle butcher my name, on my birthday, so the entire world could laugh at me. I used to always go home crying on those days after school and yelling at my mom asking her why I had to be different, and why she...

...Club Fitting, The Importance Of Page Break Impossible; it is impossible for a golfer to maximize the potential without two key components. First component is understanding how to properly position and accurately move to body. Simply having an understanding of the fundamentals of golf and the ball flight laws will not give any golfer the best possible opportunities to succeed. Knowledge of what the body does during the golf swing and how to maximize the potential of those body parts will allow the coach and golfer to assess and train for maximum performance. While possessing these fundamentals will increase the ability of the golfer to make their best possible swing, maximum potential can't be reached if the perfect swing is swinging incorrect equipment. Proper and accurately fit equipment is the second and equally important key to maximizing potential and player ability enhancement. (1)"Fitters say the reason a lot of people hit it sideways is because they haven't been custom-fit. Trying to figure out the swing with clubs whose length, weight, lie angle, shaft flex or grip size don't match the body encourages players to make unnatural compensations that prevent them from developing proper mechanics." Meeting with and interviewing the potential student or fitting client will allow the fitter to have the most accurate ability to assess what the client can and can't do. Physical disabilities will effect what the golfer can do and what the fitting professional should...

...Fitting in sometimes feels necessary, almost as if it is the only thing that makes someone feel secure. However that security is not always worth the regret. The authors Ray Bradbury, Kurt Vonnegut Jr, and Kij Johnson understand that concept, and capture it in their writings. Ray wrote a story, “All Summer in a Day,” of a girl who is left out because of the other kids jealousy for her. In “Harrison Bergeron” Kurt writes of a dystopian community where everyone and everything are equal. In the last story “Ponies,” Kij tells of a place where little girls, and their ponies, go to extreme measures to fit in. All of these stories share the same thing, Fitting in can come with a price some are not willing to pay. In the short passage “All Summer in a Day” Kids as young as nine feel the need to fit in, but they do not have the maturity to hold them back. Several times the story...

...Topic: Bra Fitting Purpose: Demonstrate how to properly fit for a bra Thesis Statement: Wearing the correct size bra maintains breast health and can improve your appearance. Good Morning Ladies and Gents! As you may know, my name is Janell, and I am pleased to talk with you about a topic that is near and dear to my heart: Bra Fitting! This may not pertain to the gentlemen here today but it is useful information that you could pass along to the women in your life. I have been working as bra fitter for the past six months with the company called Macy’s. Let me ask you a question: “On average, what percentage of women are wearing the wrong size bra?” (Pause) According Wikipedia, 75-85% of women wear the wrong size. For the next few minutes I would like to provide you with a few helpful facts and demonstrate how to measure yourself for the right fit. Believe it or not, most women wear a bra too large in the back and too small in the cups. Most people know that bra sizes are made up of two parts - a number and a letter. The number is known as the "band size" and the letter is the "cup size." However, what many people do not realize is that cup sizes are in proportion to the band size. According to Lisa Hill at our local Macy’s store, you should get re-fitted every time you have a shift in weight. Whether it be weight gain or loss, or even pregnancy; they all have an effect on your bra size. Achieving the proper fit helps with breast health, comfort, and your overall appearance...

...Energy Losses in Pipes and Fittings Objectives: i. The objectives of this experiment were to firstly, measure the experimental head loss which was due to the friction which occurred in a straight pipe and compare the value with that of which was obtained using a Moody chart. Then to demonstrate that head loss gradient and flow-rate squared are proportional to each other. Summary of Theory: Fluid flows can be described in two ways. These are “laminar” or “turbulent”. Laminar (streamline) flow happens when the fluid particles follow parallel flow paths and usually has low velocity values. On the other hand, turbulent flows are when the particles have irregular, secondary motions in conjunction with the direction of the flow. This causes a mixing of the fluids. A dimensionless constant is used to measure these types of flows, which is called Reynolds Number, and can be found by the equation :Re= vdυ V = Velocity of the flow of fluid D = Diameter of the pipe υ = Kinematic viscosity of water Depending on the size of the number, the resulting Reynolds (Re) number will relate to the type of flow/fluid motion, a Re number of 2000 will result in a laminar flow. Whereas, a Re number of more than 4000 will result in a turbulent flow. Frictional losses must also be taken into account with regards to the relative roughness of the pipe used: k = Pipe roughness d = Diameter of pipe k/d = 0.0015mm / 10.31mm = 0.000145 Equipment Used: Cussons Hydraulic Bench Stopwatch ...

...GARCH Model Fitting For IBM Introduction: Nowadays, many econometric studies have documented that financial return time series tend to be highly heteroskedastic, with varying variability or volatility and thick-tailed marginal distribution. Volatility is the conditional variance, which is unobservable and tends to be clustered together. Clustering is referred to as the phenomenon that large price changes of either signs tend to be followed by large changes, and similarly small changes follow small changes. Sudden bursts of volatility in financial returns exhibit strong dependence on the return time series, and a period of tranquility alternates with a period of volatility bursts. A popular ARCH, which is called Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity, modeling was introduced to capture the predictability of volatility ad the volatility clustering as well as the thick-tailed marginal distribution of the return time series. The tremendous success of GARCH modeling in empirical work makes may econometricians to treat it as the benchmark model for financial time series. Data Description: In this GARCH model fitting report, I use the history of stock price of IBM from January 2nd, 2013, to December 31th, 2013, collecting the data of “High”, “Low”, “Close”, and so on. At the beginning, I run the ACF for the log return and squared log return of IBM to get the autocorrelation for them. Then, by assuming that the model is normal distribution, we use the R to fit a GARCH model...

...It’s following your heart and being authentic, instead of hiding behind a painstakingly constructed mask. It means I can stop wondering “what if." Fitting out has taught me so much about myself. When I make a mistake on the court, I learn from it then let it go. When I do poorly on a test I learn from what I did wrong then forget about it. Spending a lot of time on the outside looking in has also led me to being more observant. On the court, I can see when my defender becomes impatient and in the classroom I understand more of the curriculum. I can cope with stress and I’ve learned that complaining to your friends won’t solve any problems. Living on the outside means I can be myself. But most importantly, learning to cope now will help me in the future at college where the stress to conform and perform will be...

...“Good, bad or indifferent, if you are not investing in new technology, you are going to be left behind”(Philip Green). This could be said about many things, especially the workfield. In a trade like plumbing there will always be newer and better technology to be invented. Plumbing originated during ancient civilizations the pipes were made out of lead. The original definition of a plumber was a lead worker, however the definition has changed over time.

...Kevin McPheeters Instructor’ Choice Assignment Fall2012-ECO2023-Princ Economics II-372686 November 3, 2012 Plumbing In my current position, I have the chance to dabble in many of your typical industrial trades such as electrical work, carpentry, welding and plumbing. As much as I enjoy this type of work, my job requirements create limitations to my knowledge and experience. I work in a maintenance capacity; therefore it is helpful to know a little bit about a lot, as opposed to being experienced in exclusively one trade. All of the aforementioned trades are suffering a shortage of qualified employees, so the opportunity exists to get into any of them and succeed, career wise as well as monetarily. It just amounts to how hard one is willing to work on what are generally considered unglamorous trades. For the purpose of this assignment I am going to focus on opportunities in the plumbing trade. Plumbers are tradesmen that are generally qualified for a wide range of responsibilities, and also need some experience in other trades such as carpentry and welding. Plumbers can handle jobs as simple as one man unplugging a toilet all the way to an entire company dedicating its workforce to constructing a skyscraper. They can handle everything from plastic pipe and glue to cast iron pipes and a welding rig. If they are working on a house, they would need some carpentry skills for plumbing installation. Plumbers have an advantage over some of the other construction related trades...
