...Affluent businessmen in Hong Kong raised funds amounting to Ninety Million Pesos (P90,000,000.00), in just one night, to help the ‘ultrapoor’ in the Philippines. The ultrapoor they considered are the ones who live on P13.00 or less a day. This was all made possible by the International Care Ministries (ICM) who helped raise funds for 1.7 million people who are scattered in 17 provinces of the Philippines. The ICM board chairperson, David Sutherland, said that the underlying cause of poverty is rooted on fatalism and the antidote to fatalism is hope. I can relate this news to our previous lesson in our religion subject which is about the Good Samaritan. As most of us know, there are a lot of people in Hong Kong who hate on us, Filipinos. It can be clearly seen in the news nowadays how some people in Hong Kong treat our fellow Filipinos who work there. Most of the stories were usually abusing and harassing the Filipinos. I can relate this to the story of The Good Samaritan because in the story, the Samaritans and Jews were not in good terms or they generally despised each other. Yet, a Samaritan helped a Jew who got beaten up and was left almost lifeless. I can see this story in the news I chose because no matter how some of the people in Hong Kong hate the Filipinos, there are still good-hearted men out there, who I consider as Good Samaritans, who just wants peace and everything better. They see that there is fatalism going on in our country and they go out of their way just...

...I have wrinkly and dry hands. I grew up with eczema and other skin problems that ended up making my hands look as if they were old enough to have grandchildren. I relayed this to an elderly patient I was working with at the assisted living home I interned at as she marvelled at the not far comparison her and my hands shared. The occupational therapist had me do some hand strengthening and mobility exercises with her patients so I sat with an older resident with Parkinson's and we picked up pennies and pinched putty together. The neural issues in her right hand made it difficult to clench and unclench, but it didn’t stop her from holding my hand into hers to tell me that I was doing a fine job interning with her OT and that my old hands were going to do a lot of good in the future. This was my introduction to what occupational therapy did with others and it became my invitation to learn and do more....

...the person who donated the time. It is what makes a community because it assembles people to work on a goal. Whether it is a fundraiser for the research to remedy a disease that affects the whole world, or to avail a local family who has fallen in a time of calamity, volunteers make it transpire. Community life is amended by availing others and lending an availing hand to get a job done more efficaciously. More people working equals less work for each person and less time for the project. When I was a young boy and it was brought to my attention how others did not have anything or anyone. It was Christmas time and my family packed up 30 lunches, scarfs, T-shirts, blankets and we drove down to Washington DC. I was told to pick out people who I thought needed to eat and looked cold. I remember thinking everyone had a home, family and food for themselves. It never occurred to me that people lived on the street with no food, shelter or support. That day we handed our food and clothing to people who truly had nothing. As a direct result of giving and wanting to help at that moment, I was inspired to lend a helping hand and contribute to my own community. We donated our time and gave hope to someone who required it. A volunteer conjointly benefits themselves because they get to optically discern how their contribution has made a difference. This experience contributes to personal development especially in areas such as self-fulfillment and self-esteem which often flourish in the...

...Case 8-4: Genzyme’s CSR Dilemma: How to Play its HAND 1. In your opinion, which of the three major HAND initiatives: TB, Malaria, or Chagas should Jim Geraghty recommend? Defend you answer by detailing how your choice is better than the other two. I think that Jim Geraghty should recommend the Malaria initiative. The Malaria initiative is the best business decision for Genzyme. There are 250 million Malaria cases every year, compared to that of 16-18 million cases of Chagas and 25 million cases of Tuberculosis. Even though Tuberculosis has more deaths per year at 1.5-2 million and could possibly be the best initiative to recommend, I still believe the Malaria initiative is the best option. Malaria is spread by Anopheles mosquitos and there is still a great need for a cure of Malaria in today’s world. In the case, Genzyme’s goal is to have the most impact possible on a deadly disease, while doing something that is within their capabilities. All three initiatives have a very important medical need, but Genzyme has the molecular knowledge to create a vaccine for Malaria. They have done a lot of research for Chagas also, but they would have to basically start from scratch if they were to go towards the Tuberculosis initiative. By going with the Malaria initiative, they would more than likely partner with Harvard, MMV, and ICGEB, which would be great for the research and development capabilities. Jim Geraghty should recommend the Malaria initiative to Henri Teermer 2. Taking the...

...A Pocket Guide to EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) for Addiction Treatment, Self-Help and Recovery How to use EFT for relief from addictive cravings, withdrawal symptoms, anxiety, pain and upsetting memories Masha Bennett “Addictive behaviour is the mindbody’s normal and natural response to the pathology of sobriety” (Gregory Bateson) What is EFT? The Emotional Freedom Techniques are a group of brief therapeutic interventions and self-help tools, sometimes known as “acupuncture without needles” or “tapping therapy”. EFT brings together the principles of traditional Chinese medicine, neuroscience and cognitive-behavioural therapy by combining stimulation of a series of acupressure points with cognitive restructuring (specially worded affirmations), typically leading to shifts in thought patterns and relief from both physical tension and excess negative emotions. Table 1. Uses of EFT in addiction recovery Reducing / eliminating addictive cravings Alleviating withdrawal symptoms Managing anxiety, fear, grief, anger Relieving physical pain and tension Modifying unhelpful beliefs Healing past trauma Enhancing sense of control and self-efficacy Reducing risk of relapse Day-to-day emotional & stress management How does EFT work? There are several explanations of how EFT works. The creator of the technique and many practitioners attribute its effect to balancing the energy in meridians, as in acupuncture, in relation to a specific problem. Some neurological...

...HAND TEST DR. EDWARD E. WAGNER HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT • The first scientific attempts in relating the hand to personality developed out of the study of the body types (asthenic/thin; atheletic/ muscular; pyknic/ stocky) by Ernst Kretschmer in 1931. o BODY TYPES--- TRAITS( PSYCHOPATHOLOGIES ▪ PYKNIC: friendly ( depressive ▪ ASTHENIC: timid, introverted ( schizophrenic • Charlotte Wolff (1943) studied certain characteristics of the hand and handedness and derived a practical method of the hand interpretation based on the studied characteristic. o The Hand in Psychological Diagnosis (1951) considers the significance of endocrinological dysfunction, its psychological effects and chirological manifestations & outlines how and why the hand reflects temperament and personality. • The first empirical research was a report by Carmichael, Roberts and Wessell (1937) which showed that , to some degree, emotions can be encoded in and decoded from dynamic body movements, gait, and manual gestures. • The Hand Test was originated by E. Wagner in 1958 and was primarily used to differentiate normal from schizophrenic. • In 1962, Bricklin Protowski and Wagner published a monograph with an initial rationale and scoring for the Hand Test. THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK • Hand Test was developed to meet the general criteria for a projective test and also to be easily classified for empirical examination ...

...Ben Sexton Cheongmi Shim Interpersonal Communication October 19, 2011 Good and Bad I. Introduction If I had to choose two people who I communicate with the most and know me the best, it is a simple decision. My mother, Karen Sexton, and one of my best friends Cody Woods are two people who I communicate an extreme amount with and are able to really know the strengths and weaknesses of myself. Communication is something that we all take part in every day whether its through voice, facial expressions, hand gestures or symbols, and even pure silence. The level of communication we are at is different from person to person. The purpose of this paper is to find out our level of what we succeed at and what we could use some work on. II. Summary of Interaction The interviewees I have chosen are my mother Karen Sexton and a close friend of mine Cody Woods. My mother I have known for twenty-two years and has been the closest person in my family to me. Cody is a friend I met at college and have known for three years now. Both are extremely close with me and are important to my everyday life so they are obviously two people who I communicate with a lot. The meeting with my mother took place over the phone with her because she is back at home. It was during the evening this past weekend around 9 pm on Sunday. The interview was very laid back and easily initiated. The interview with Cody was completed at my house in the living room and was also a very laid back situation...

As he felt the thunk of the blade of his weapon hit the Earth, he sighed. 'Well, guess my clone wasn't enough...Oh well, time for some real fun, oh and let's not forget my snake..' he said as he performed a few handsigns, signaling the snakes mind to know to move from the gecko, as it slithered away, dirt from above the earth crumpled down onto him and into his hair. 'Oh bother,' he said in a Poo bear style,' looks like that fat gecko landed. And I hope he knows he's not the only one with tricks up his sleeve..' he said as he thrusted his arm upward, his hand pushing through the earth. Knowing that it would be hardly visible, he clawed the earth apart, digging himself out. He was wearing the same attire as the clone from before, except it was smeared with grime from underground, and his katana had been upgraded several times from the clones. As his head was able to reach through the earth, he clawed harder and eventually was able to dig himself out. He stood tall, looking at the three Jato's being confused. He chukcled. 'I told you I had many tricks, Jatomaru.' he said as he took a quick glance at the katana his clone had used. He took off his shinobi-like glove with a metallic plate on it, as he bit his thumb with his right fang, smearing a japanese symbol onto the blade. 'Rest, worhty clone...

...make ourselves understood not only by words. We send messages to the people around us also by facial expressions and body movements.we call it "body language ", which is also a way of communication. For example, A smile and handshake show welcome ,Waving one's hand is to say"goodbye", nodding the head means agreement,while shaking it means disgreement .Putting up a hand means"May I ask a question?". These gestures are very common and are widespread since they are having the same meanings around the world. However, different countries still have different body languages due to different culture, which will affect the way people communicate. FOR EXAMPLE, In Arab, people often greet by kissing on both cheeks. In Japan people greet by bowing .In the Unite States, people shake hands to show"their greeting". And the gesture of putting a hand on a person' neck is different for Chinese and Americans. For Chinese,it is to say"someone will be killed". For Americans, it means "I'm full, cant eat any more”. And crossing one's legs in the United States is a sign of being relaxed. However in Korea, this is not allowed. In China,people hand everything with both hands to show their respect,but for Muslims,they think the left hand is unclean, so they do not eat or pass something with it. Touch or not touch? Whether or not touching during conversation is acceptable depends on the culture in different countries. For example, the French and Italians love to continually touch as they...

...substage of the sensorimotor period the child probably is in, and tied the notions of assimilation and accommodation to specific infant behaviors. Observation Paper #1 A couple (husband and wife) were sitting on the grass at a music festival with a young male infant, who was probably between 12-18 months old. He sat on his mother's lap with a group of the adult's friends around them. They were sitting together on a blanket with a clearing in the middle for the child to play and move around while they all enjoyed the music and talked to each other. As I was sitting there, I observed the infant's mother hand him a small box of wheat thins which he easily grasped in his hands and held, looking at it for a little while. Then he dropped the box which hit his mother's foot and rustled to the ground. His mother picked the box back up for him and put it back into his hands. He then dropped it again on her foot and it landed again on the ground next to them. According to Piaget the child is in substage 5 of the sensorimotor period. The child is testing the cause and effect of his dropping the box of wheat thins on his mother's foot next to him. He is causing the box to fall, and then watching and studying it as it bounces off her foot and finally rests on the ground (causing a rustling noise from the crackers). Piaget would also think that he is experimenting with varying...

...sending a different message with something as simple as a smile.” (Krischer Goodman a40) Body language can be helpful to know the emotions of someone, and when you know someone’s emotions you can generally predict or alter their motive. Knowing these cues can be helpful in situations like a job interview, on a date, or in an argument. When at an interview it can be very stressful to figure out who would be a good applicant to hire for a job. If an applicant and the boss are talking there are a few things that the employer can notice that would be helpful. People will lie to get a job, it happens; let’s say that the boss asks a question about the applicant’s experience, and when answering, the applicant covers part of their face with their hand. They most likely are lying. When people lie they tend to take more time to think of a response and when they do respond they tend to talk faster. Men will make their voice deeper and women will make their voice higher pitched when lying. If the applicant is sitting with their arms crossed then they are closed-off to the employer, and in other words they’re just not feeling it. If the employer asks a question and the applicant touches the back of their neck that’s a pacifying act and it doesn’t mean...
