...Assessment Process September 07, 2013 CPSY - 6341 - 1 Assessment Process Psychologists perform an assessment to acquire vital information about clients and to execute a firm judgment to guide them while building a sound and steady foundation to start counseling procedures. In addition, the assessment process helps the psychologist to collect information and begin psychological testing that help further evaluative the client. However, a number of research grounded instruments can be used to aid in determining the clients emotional, behavioral, and cognitive functioning. Moreover, assessing and testing Sean will help to define any underlying variables that may account for his behavioral and academic problems that are not directly associated to his high levels of lead or the divorce of his parents. Furthermore, psychological testing results will further guide the psychologist with interventions and treatments that will most likely benefit Sean by providing important information. Two Potential Problems During the assessment of Sean, an eight year old child in the third grade, I came to the conclusion that two of his greatest obstacles are his parents pending divorce and the chronically elevated lead levels. According to Laureate Education, (2011) Sean has increasingly shown aggression with his peers in situations where he is both provoked, and not. In addition, he engages in physical fights with his class mates, he is irritably, shows lack of participation in the classroom...

...¿Que es la PNL? Por Cecilia Violic G. y Marcelo Santa María V. La Programación Neurolingüística (PNL), es bastante más simple que su nombre. ¿Conoces a alguien que sea excelente en lo que hace?.. Y, sin ir más lejos, tú mismo ¿En qué eres genial?... Dentro de tantas cosas que hacemos , todos tenemos áreas de genialidad: bailar, relacionarnos, emprender, mediar, cocinar, acompañar, crear, liderar, ser papá, negociar, meditar y muchas otras. Sin embargo, frecuentemente no nos damos cuenta de cómo hacemos lo que hacemos. Simplemente lo hacemos. La PNL es como una lupa que amplifica la excelencia, los recursos, lo que haces bien tú, lo que hacen bien otros, y extrae modelos para que sepas como usarlos más veces, conscientemente, incluso transfiriéndolo a otras personas o a otras áreas de tu vida menos exitosas. Un poco de historia… En los años ‘60 ...

...An explanation of a Project Charter and its purpose The purpose of a project charter is to collect information on a project and ultimately get approval from the stakeholders to get the project running. The project charter can contain many pieces including the project statement of work, organizational assets and processes for starters. The project charter also is used to decide on the scope of a project and give responsibility (Sanghera, 2010). It is the process of developing a document that formally authorizes a project or a phase and documenting initial requirements that satisfy the stakeholder’s needs and expectations. The project charter is a document that states the initial requirements to satisfy the stakeholders’ needs and expectations, and it also formally authorizes the project which includes naming the project manager and determining the authority level of the project manager. (PMBOK, 2008).The project charter which is an output of the charter process is an input to identifying the stakeholders. When stakeholders have been identified, then a stake holder’s register is created. This is the start of a project management’s road map. Issuing an approved charter moves the project to the following phases: * Initiation- clearly establish why the project is being initiated and specifically what must be accomplished * Defining the project- Identifies customer and states the principal business reasons for instigating a project. * Planning the project- impact...

The economic purpose of OPEC and what has happened to oil prices over the past five year will be discussed. Differences /Examples One seller of a good or service which has no close substitute and has substantial control over the price and protection from rivalry through a barrier to entry is a monopoly. An industry that has moderately diminutive number of firms, barriers to access, price searching behavior and mutual interdependence is an oligopoly. A cartel has an arrangement between participating firms to allow coordination of their output and pricing decision to earn monopoly profits (Gregory, 2004).

...RETROSPECTIVE ANALYSIS OF PERSONALITY Student’s name Prof’s name Course title Date The personality of an individual is not a static condition but rather a dynamic one which is affected by the environment as well as the nature of the individual. Changes in the personality of a person is inevitable especially in a continuously changing environment. That person requires new mechanisms to be able to cope with the environmental changes. However, some personalities are consistent even with these changes. The events we experience in our lives are very crucial in shaping our personalities.There are however other factors that were very crucial to the same. The most important of them all is culture. Culture is one of the most influential factors and is the values, beliefs and norms shared by a specific group of individuals. The way we behave and live in the society is influenced by our culture thus having a great impact in our personality development. This is evident with most people hailing from the same area have many similar personality traits (Kohler E, 2002). As a child I was naïve and always made several mistakes in life. Sometimes I would even try to do something I had been warned not to do just to know the reason for been denied that chance. Trusting individuals was a problem as the people I was open to were my parents and some close relatives. This trait has changed over time and nowadays I have close friends with whom I can share my troubles with within my age group. I...

Her death could have been prevented, but the school had no epinephrine on hand to save her life(TheHill.com,2012).According to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (2011),the delay in using epinephrine is closely associated with death from anaphylaxis,expecially anaphylaxis resulting from peanuts allergy (niaid,2011).Symptoms of anaphylaxis include itching ,swelling of lips and tongue, tightness of throat, skin hives, vomiting, diarrhea ,cramps, shortness of breath, cough, wheezing, weak pulse, dizziness and passing out (niaid,2011).

...Four Functions of Management MGT/312 June 15, 2015 Gregory Lucht Four Functions of Management Management has been the fundamental aspect of any organization. For an organization to run smoothly and accomplished its mission, goals, and objectives, managers must have creative problems solving skills. The Four Functions of Management include planning, organizing, leading, and controlling. The primary functions of management have been broken down into four different areas. Each function of management helps the managers and employees to stay focused on getting the task done correctly. Planning In October 2005, Wal-Mart CEO Lee Scott committed the company to three ambitious goals: To be supplied 100% by renewable energy; to create zero waste; and to sell products that sustain Wal-Mart's resources and the environment (Plambeck, 2007). The managerial staff decided to assign a marketing team to perform a strategic study in an attempt to resolve the decrease in market sales. This analysis will give Wal-Mart a forecast of what the organization needs to do in efforts to become the most competitive and innovative company in the world. Wal-Mart’s goal is to; “save people money so they can live better” (Wal-Mart, purpose, 2008). An example of the way this company save consumers money is to purchase products in large quantities. Having a good relationship with other organizations is another way this company can keep the cost at a minimum. Wal-Mart's main objective is to be...

...The Savers–Spenders Theory of Fiscal Policy By N. GREGORY MANKIW* The literature on the macroeconomic effects of fiscal policy and, in particular, of government debt is founded on two canonical models. The purpose of this paper is to suggest that both models are deficient and to propose a new model to take their place. The first canonical model is the Barro-Ramsey model of infinitely-lived families (Robert Barro, 1974). According to this model, the government’s debt policy redistributes the tax burden among generations, but families, who want to smooth their consumption over time, reverse the effects of this redistribution through their bequests. Government debt is completely neutral—a proposition called Ricardian equivalence. The second canonical model of government debt is the Diamond-Samuelson model of overlapping generations (Peter Diamond, 1965). In this model, people smooth consumption over their own lifetimes, but there is no bequest motive. When the government issues debt, it enriches some generations at the expense of others, crowds out capital, and reduces steadystate living standards. In this paper, I first discuss the facts that lead me to reject these canonical models. I then propose an alternative model and develop briefly its implications for fiscal policy. consumption over time. There is much reason to be skeptical about this assumption. A large empirical literature, starting with Robert Hall’s (1978) seminal random-walk theorem, has addressed...

The trend to use competency-based approaches in education and training, assessment, and development of workers has experienced a more recent emergence. With the mobility of the workforce and retirement of the baby boomers, competency models are being used for succession planning as well. It is within the last few years that the Employment and Training Administration (ETA) has turned its focus on skills acquisition and assessment to the competency model process for determining the needs of business and employers and the requirements of skilled workers. Recently, ETA has been engaged with business, industry, and education/training leaders to develop competency models for targeted industries and broker...
