...The differences Between Leadership and Management The difference between leadership and management can be summarized by saying: “When you act as a leader, your work comes from the heart. When your actions are those of a manager, you work comes from the head.” Albeit it is probably much more complex than this, the major point to focus on is the difference between how you handle yourself as a leader and as a manager—and the continuing need to be able to do both. The head and heart need to act as partners, not work independently. (Coutts, 2000). A manager focuses the majority of their attention on efficiency, effectiveness, and making sure things happen when they are supposed to. You know you are in the role of a manager when you set performance goals with staff, prepare the necessary budgets, review cash flow projections for a business, develop a plan of action, and evaluate company programs or fund raising initiatives or any other major aspect of a company. Management may also include undertaking hundreds of other mundane tasks that require focused and logical attention to detail for the well-being of the organization. (Maccoby, 2000). On the other hand, being in a leadership role requires you to become a strategist, a visionary, and a person who inspires other people to become great. You are a leader when you share your visions on how to better your organization, or when you able to bring staff and other people together to develop a program or design a strategy to resolve a...

...Frankenstein in several different ways. Person vs. Person When Dr. Frankenstein is preparing to encounter the monster at his wedding night, a person vs. person conflict takes place between Frankenstein and his monster. “Well, be it so; a deadly struggle would then assuredly take place, in which if he were victorious I should be at peace and his power over me be at an end. If he were vanquished, I should be a free man. Alas! What freedom?” (Pg. 204) The quote shows a person vs. person conflict because it shows how two characters go into a struggle against each other. Another example of a person vs. person conflict throughout the book is described in a single quote, “Know that, one by one, my friends were snatched away: I was left...

...Running head: HEART DISEASE Heart Disease Victoria Martin Grand Canyon University: NRS-427V-0500 October 3, 2015 Heart Disease Heart Disease is a big term used to describe a lot of heart conditions but the most common type in the United States is known as coronary artery disease. This is where the flow of blood through the heart is slowed down due to plaque buildup in the arteries within the heart which blocks the blood flow and can lead to a heart attack. In the United States about one in every three adults or seventy million people has high blood pressure. Only about half of these have this under control by either diet and exercise or medication. Blood Pressure is a very common condition but if not under control it increases the patients risk for heart disease and stroke significantly. High blood pressure is known as the silent killer as it has no warning signs or symptoms so often patients do not even know that they have it and this is very dangerous (CDC, 2015). In the United States and most other societies, there is a strong tendency for Blood Pressure to rise progressively with increasing age; however, epidemiologic studies indicate that age-related increases in BP and the occurrence of hypertension are uncommon in societies whose members live in isolated settings. These findings indicate that high BP is not an inevitable consequence of aging and that prevention of hypertension is a realistic goal (Epidemiology and the Prevention of Hypertension. (n.d.). ...

(The Pet Set is Roaring Rich and Purring Profits. (2007). Souvenirs, Gifts, & Novelties, 46(5), 108-134). Pets can be a big part of a family’s life. Depending on breed and size basic needs can be very different. Choosing the right breed and type of pet can be time consuming and difficult. This essay will be comparing dogs to cats as pet considering three factors, grooming needs, breeds, and relationships. Having a clean dog is not the only reason for daily grooming. As you comb through your pet's coat to remove surface dirt, you can easily check for those nasty seasonal tagalongs, fleas and ticks. (Moore, A. (2004). Brush Up on Your Grooming Skills. Prevention, 56(8), 176-178). For dogs, Fill the sink or tub with lukewarm water to a depth that just wets your pet's feet and give him time to get used to the water .( Moore, A. (2004).

...Oxytocin vs. Cortisol: Stress 2nd Period 16 September 2014 Oxytocin vs. Cortisol: Stress Stress is an inevitable factor of a human’s everyday life as it can positively influence one to be motivated and accomplish activities or it can be an off-putting setback that leaves a person to be dejected, which takes a harmful toll on the body. Either way, stress on oneself is an essential state of mentality that allows an individual to properly function—whether or not it benefits one to achieve all the set goals or pressure one to pull out the remaining hair left on one’s head. Stress can heavily affect an individual’s actions and emotions as it may cause anxiety. In fact, a hormone known as cortisol plays a heavy role into why a person may be feeling stressed out. It has been known that heightened levels of cortisol amplify the “risk for depression, mental illness, and lower life expectancy” (Bergland). Cortisol is a typically known as a hormone that induces stress that also assists one during an individual’s fight-or-flight situation to counteract any seeming threat that your brain processes. After the threat passes, the “hormone levels need to return to normal” so it goes through homeostasis (Mayo Clinic Staff). The natural reaction is that the adrenaline and cortisol activities will plunge in substitution for the body’s blood pressure and heart rate to come back regularly with the help of another hormone called oxytocin. This hormone help the body regulate homeostasis...

...Both cars are a modern take on a retro design with a low and wide stance and muscular haunches. The Camaro, however, has a gun-slit greenhouse that imparts a menacing, chopped-top look. The Mustang, by comparison, features a graceful canopy that offers more outward vision. We rate the Mustang higher for comfort and quality, mostly because it is easier to see out of and it has a bit more space. Yes, the Mustang is still a 2+2 at heart with tight head room and leg room; but front-seat room is generous and the available Recaro seats are great. While a driver can now wear a helmet in the Camaro, front seat space is still tight, the rear seat won't hold much more than a backpack, and the trunk is shallow and narrow. The materials quality of both interiors is higher than in the past, but these cockpits still have more hard plastics than we'd prefer. But people don't buy these cars for accommodations. They buy them for their performance, and both deliver in spades. Much of the credit for the Camaro's excellent handling goes to its downsized, light-weighted footprint. The Alpha platform elevates its handling to a new level, and the ride and handling can be further enhanced with GM's excellent Magnetic Ride Control adaptive dampers. This is the first generation of Mustang with an independent rear suspension and...

...Flies the beast is used as a symbol to represent the inner savagery that exists within us. Symbol is something that stands for or suggests something else by reason of relationship, association, convention, or accidental resemblance. William Golding uses symbols to support the theme of Lord of the Flies which is civilization vs. savagery. This theme is present in many parts of the book but it is specifically developed using the following three symbols: the beast, the conch shell and, Simon. During the scene were Simon encounters the Lord of the Flies the Lord of the Flies speaks to him and says “There isn't anyone to help you. Only me. And I'm the Beast... Fancy thinking the Beast was something you could hunt and kill... You knew, didn't you? I'm part of you? Close, close, close! I'm the reason why it's no go? Why things are the way they are?” (Page 142). This quote completely reveals that the beast is symbolized as the innermost evil within all of us. This has a major role in the civilization vs. savagery theme because the beast represents the savagery. The beast is used yet again as a symbol for inner evil when Jack mounts the pig head on a stick. “The head is for the beast. It’s a gift” (Page 137). This shows how the boys begin to almost worship the beast as a god. It displays how they have almost completely been taken over by the savage inside them. Throughout the book they are slowly consumed by savagery and only few of the boys keep a good sense of judgment. Another important...

...Final Exam Study Guide Important to Know the function of anterior and posterior pituitary gland. Anterior Pituitary Gland: (Adenohypophysis) The anterior pituitary gland regulates several physiological processes including stress, growth, reproduction and lactation (Adrenal, liver, bone, thryroid and gonads). -It is regulated by negative feedback and the hypothalamus. Major hormones: ACTH: Stimulates the adrenal cortex. TSH: Thyroid stimulating hormone, promotes secretion of thyroid hormone. FSH: Follicle-stimulating hormone, promotes growth of reproductive system. LH: Luteinizing hormone. Promotes sex hormone production GH: Growth hormone, promotes growth, lipid and carbohydrate metabolism. PRL: Prolactin, Milk production and progesterone/estrogen. -Hormones are secreted from the hypothalamus to the A. Pituitary so these hormones can be released. Posterior Pituitary Gland: Mainly axons extended from the hypothalamus. These axons contain and release neurohypophysial hormones oxytocin and vasopressin. Oxytocin: Targets the uterus, and mammary glands causing contractions and lactation. Vasopressin (ADH): Antidiuretic hormone, arginine vasopressin, argipressin.
