...Tropical hardwood hammocks are one of the many natural communities found in Florida, however of the many, they are one of the few characterized by tropical plants. The word “hammock” was primarily used by early inhabitants when referring to a cool and shady place. Later, settlers of Florida used the word “hummock” to indicate areas that were slightly higher in elevation from the rest of the land. In these days, the word hammock is used in Florida to describe forest habitats that are generally higher in elevation than surrounding areas and that are characterized by hardwood forests of broad-leaved evergreens. Tropical hardwood hammocks occur in south Florida and along the Florida coastlines where danger from frost is rare and tropical trees...

During all of these deployments while serving as a Mobility Officer regardless when I was serving in Iraq, Afghanistan, or Kuwait between the time periods I have noticed one thing has been remained constant despite the location or timing. Regardless if its Military, Civilian, or Host nations support everyone on the military installation misutilized the Air Force 463L Pallet. Government property which has an only authorized use and purpose as an intermodal asset to transport cargo by air. Observation 1: Air Force 463L Pallets used as tent flooring. Discussion: Many units did not have proper materials to use as proper tent flooring in order to keep tent floors dry. While deployed to hot and dry environments when it rains the ground quickly became muddy and flooded with water, without proper flooring tents can quickly became wet and uncomfortable. The 463L pallets are thick and heavy and work perfect to elevate the floor just enough to keep most of the water and mud out of the tents. As military units had air cargo delivered instead of returning the 463L pallets back to the Air Force for proper use back in to the Air Force cargo system many military units would keep the 463L’s for many purposes such as tent flooring. With a large number of...

As a child I also had my favorite place and was my home, the home that I left behind when we moved to this country. My home is located in El Salvador a peaceful quiet place where every afternoon at 4 pm was all noise because of my sisters and I and other kids from our neighborhood. The house was white and burgundy, it had two windows one on each side, the house looked like a face to me, because the windows were the eyes and in the center the door which to me was the mouth of the house. Even though I no longer live there I miss the backyard, it is small but we owned a small garden with red roses and violets, there is the place where I used to play along with dolls and sisters. Also I miss my bedroom which I called our heaven because is the place where my sisters and I shared happiness, tears, and even secrets. I miss going to the park in front of our house, we will always see a grown man sitting on a bench. Whenever we went to the park we would played as much until night came.

...Journal of Experimental Psychology MAY 1967 VOL. 74, No. 1 FAILURE TO ESCAPE TRAUMATIC SHOCK 1 MARTIN E: P. SELIGMAN 2 AND STEVEN F. MAIER« University of Pennsylvania Dogs which had 1st learned to panel press in a harness in order to escape shock subsequently showed normal acquisition of escape/ avoidance behavior in a shuttle box. In contrast, yoked, inescapable shock in the harness produced profound interference with subsequent escape responding in the shuttle box. Initial experience with escape in the shuttle box led to enhanced panel pressing during inescapable shock in the harness and prevented interference with later responding in the shuttle box. Inescapable shock in the harness and failure to escape in the shuttle box produced interference with escape responding after a 7-day rest. These results were interpreted as supporting a learned "helplessness" explanation of interference with escape responding: Ss failed to escape shock in the shuttle box following inescapable shock in the harness because they had learned that shock termination was independent of responding. Overmier and Seligman (1967) have shown that the prior exposure of dogs to inescapable shock in a Pavlovian harness reliably results in interference with subsequent escape/avoidance learning in a shuttle box. Typically, these dogs do not even escape from shock in the shuttle box. They initially show normal reactivity to shock, but after a few trials, they passively ...

... ““You are too lenient, too lenient by far, Leonce,”... “Authority, coercion are what is needed. Put your foot down good and hard; the only way to manage a wife. Take my word for it.”” (pg 71) He feels angry at the thought that Edna is free within her own actions and considers to not have a sense of any limitation. The Colonel left town the day after this discussion and with this defiance to her father Edna felt thankful that he had finally departed. Leonce had stayed quiet during the father’s visit and watched them argue only because he felt that was the only way to get Edna to feel better. For the past weeks, he too, felt Edna was not in the right state of mind and went to go see Dr. Mandelet ““I told you… Her whole attitude- toward me and everybody and everything- has changed… I don’t want to quarrel or to be rude to a woman, especially my wife; yet I’m driven to it”… “ She’s got some sort of notion in her head concerning the eternal rights of a women;”” (pg. 65). This change Mr. Pontellier mentions, was first significantly witnessed one night that he came home to Edna laying in the cold outside on the hammock for hours. He first tries to talk to her, but Edna ignores Mr. Pontellier and his request to come inside. He becomes frustrated at the fact his wife is defying his request to come inside and begins to yell. “I don’t wish to go in, I don’t intend to. Don’t speak to me like that again; I shall not answer you.” (pg. 31) Were Edna’s exact words towards the attitude...

However 4 years later the barriers have proven to be too strong and the company is considering giving up the entire expansion plan (Business.dk, 2013) describing the Chinese market as “the most difficult market in the world” (finans.tv2.dk, 2012). Based on this information it is interesting to examine the challenges JYSK faces and evaluate if they should consider giving up the expansion to China altogether. 1.2 Problem Statement How relevant would it be for JYSK to continue their entrance on the Chinese market? 2.1 Which macro and micro factors...

...1 CHAPTER I THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND Introduction Laziness is a mental state of an individual when it lacks energy and/or the desire to perform tasks, which can have several causes (Steve, 2010). A lazy person is one who is not aware of their thoughts, emotions and actions. One who is aware of their thoughts as they occur, the feelings that pass through them and the actions they take, are the ones who are not lazy. So, one can be very active and still be very lazy, or one can be not active at all, but be very diligent. It is simply about being mindful and finely tuned in to the present moment (Mehta, 2007). The lazy man does not stand in the way of progress. When he sees progress roaring down upon him he steps nimbly out of the way. The lazy man doesn't pass the buck. He lets the buck pass him. We have always secretly envied our lazy friends (Morley, 1920).Well, every one of us knows this feeling: we have a lot of work to do but a momentary feeling of laziness, or even a habitual state of pure laziness prevents us from getting motivated to perform our tasks. We do not feel energized and just don´t want to do particular activities, either because we lack the inspiration or are not encouraged enough to start working. there are types of lazy people: those who are thrill seekers who wait until the last minute so that they get into a euphoric rush when they finish the work at the very last possible minute, those who avoid work simply because they are too scared to fail. Doing...

...CONTROLLING IDEA: Some of our behavior we’ve done are unexpectedly for us a sometimes we do it over and over again until it become our “mannerism” CHAPTER I THE PROBLEM INTRODUCTION We have many activities that we can do for our relaxation during our leisure time, but there are some type of activity that often do provide amusement to us, including behavior that we find unacceptable; like flicking your hand in front of your eyes, pulling thread out of your clothes, making repetitive sounds, nail biting and many more. This kind of behavior is considered self-stimulation or we can called our mannerisms and can often perceive negatively because “they do not look normal”. It is not difficult to identify mannerism. If someone does a strange thing habitually, like clearing his/her voice superfluously, that is a mannerism. If someone (usually men) finds himself whistling every so often, that is a mannerism. If someone is fond of biting his or her fingernails, that is a mannerism. Nose poking, excessive or unnecessary tooth picking, tooth sucking, and indiscriminate hugging are also mannerisms. The habit of interjecting one's speech or sermon with a typical exclamation repeatedly and overuse of a gesture are some other mannerisms. Just look at the people around you. You are in a classroom together with your classmate. Sometimes you will notice that some of your girl classmates are playing with their hair, twirling a ring around their...

...Of Cannibals Michel de Montaigne [Victorian Web Home —> Nonfiction] hen King Pyrrhus invaded Italy, having viewed and considered the order of the army the Romans sent out to meet him; "I know not," said he, "what kind of barbarians" (for so the Greeks called all other nations) "these may be; but the disposition of this army that I see has nothing of barbarism in it." — [Plutarch,Life of Pyrrhus, c. 8.] — As much said the Greeks of that which Flaminius brought into their country; and Philip, beholding from an eminence the order and distribution of the Roman camp formed in his kingdom by Publius Sulpicius Galba, spake to the same effect. By which it appears how cautious men ought to be of taking things upon trust from vulgar opinion, and that we are to judge by the eye of reason, and not from common report. I long had a man in my house that lived ten or twelve years in the New World, discovered in these latter days, and in that part of it where Villegaignon landed, — [At Brazil, in 1557.] — which he called Antarctic France. This discovery of so vast a country seems to be of very great consideration. I cannot be sure, that hereafter there may not be another, so many wiser men than we having been deceived in this. I am afraid our eyes are bigger than our bellies, and that we have more curiosity than capacity; for we grasp at all, but catch nothing but wind. Plato brings in Solon, — [In Timaeus.] — telling a story that he had heard from the priests of Sais in Egypt, that...
