To cut down on misunderstandings, restate or paraphrase (“It sounds like you’re saying…”) what your heard to be sure it’s what they meant. #Say what you mean tactfully. Don’t beat around the bush or expect your partner to mind-read. If you want to voice an opinion or ask for a need to be met, speak up. However, do so tactfully without attacking your partner in the process. “I” or “we” statements can help you do this.http://www.loveisrespect.org/healthy-relationships/communicate-better/ #*An “I” statement may sound like, “I don’t feel like you’re paying attention to me. Can you please put down your phone when I’m talking? I’d really appreciate that.” #Stay above the belt in disagreements. Mature relationships involve partners who fight fair. No matter how angry you get, strive to keep your voice level and save the insults. Adding negativity to an already stressful situation only heightens the tension and makes it harder to reach a solution.http://www.loveisrespect.org/healthy-relationships/communicate-better/ #*If you become overly angry, pause, take a break, and breathe deeply. Come back to the discussion when you have collected yourself and are ready to communicate properly. ===Building...

...Natural Resources and Environmental Regulations Natural Resources- Healthy Ecosystems Recognizing healthy ecosystems as the basis for sustainable water resources, and stable food security can help produce more food per unit of agricultural land, improve resilience to climate change, and provide economic benefits for poor communities. According to, a report, from the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) and The International Water Management Institute (IWMI): in partnership with 19 other organizations. As well as, the Stockholm Environment Institute, the Stockholm Resilience Centre. The report shows how managing and investing in the connections between ecosystems, water and food, through diversifying crops, planting trees on farmland improving rainwater collection, and other practical steps, could help avoid water scarcity, and meet the growing food demands of a global population set to reach 9 billion by 2050 (sei-international.org, 2011). When Scientist tries to understand how ecosystems function, it is not simply out of curiosity about the world. They also know that human society depends on healthy, functioning ecosystems. When Earth’s ecosystems function normally and undisturbed, the provide good and services that we could not survive without (Wilcott, Brennan, 2011, p 121). Nutrients to our farmlands, waters and air help ecosystems cycle through the chemical elements and compounds, that we need such as carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, water, and many more that cycle...

...Jacklyn Marcus, Ph.D 2225 Broadway Suite B Santa Monica, CA 90404 310-714-8809 Unrealistic and Unspoken Expectations Harm Relationships By Jacklyn Marcus, Ph,D Certified Life Skills Coach We all create expectations for ourselves. It is a basic human trait to project our desires and thoughts onto those we are closest to. We tend to expect significant people in our lives to behave in a manner envisioned in our mind. Expectations in relationships can be harmful when unspoken ideals are projected onto the other person. Unspoken assumptions and unrealistic expectations commonly sabotage relationships. How many times have your feelings been hurt because you mistakenly assumed someone else knew what you thought or expected? Do you ever become annoyed or angry with someone who acted differently than you expected? Have you found yourself saying: “If you really loved me, you would…” “Why didn‟t you…” “You should…” It doesn‟t matter what kind of relationship you are in. Each person‟s expectations plays a large part in determining the health of the relationship. Perceptions of a relationship change when there is a contrast between the ideal and the real. The partnership strengthens when one begins to see the relationship for what it really is. Having unrealistic or unfulfilled expectations is a sure way to ruin a relationship. When an individual has a strong desire that their partner meet their impossible expectations they become blinded...

...Description Treatment Focus Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a system of therapy originally developed by Marsha M. Linehan, a psychology researcher at the University of Washington, to treat people with borderline personality disorder (BPD). DBT combines standard cognitive-behavioral techniques for emotion regulation and reality testing with concepts of distress tolerance, acceptance, and mindful awareness largely derived from Buddhist meditative practice. DBT may be the first therapy that has been experimentally demonstrated to be generally effective in treating BPD. A meta-analysis found that DBT reached moderate effects. Research indicates that DBT is also effective in treating patients who present varied symptoms and behaviors associated with spectrum mood disorders, including self-injury. Recent work suggests its effectiveness with sexual abuse survivors and chemical dependency. Linehan observed "burn-out" in therapists after coping with non-motivated patients who against cooperation in successful treatment. Her first core insight was to recognize that the chronically suicidal patients she studied had been raised in profoundly invalidating environments, and, therefore, required a climate of unconditional acceptance, in which to develop a successful therapeutic alliance. Her second insight involved the need for a commensurate commitment from patients, who needed to be willing to accept their dire level of emotional dysfunction.

Ebbers pressured senior staff to improve its performance or they would lose everything. The CFO, Sullivan, formulated a plan to use accounting entries to achieve targeted performance and persuaded and coaxed many others to go along with the plan in order to stay on top. 2. What is the boundary between earnings smoothing or earning management and fraudulent reporting? The boundary between earnings management and fraudulent reporting can overlap at times. Earning management is defined as the use of accounting techniques to produce financial reports that may paint an overly positive picture of a company's business activities and financial position. Earnings management takes advantage of how accounting rules can be applied and are legitimately flexible when companies can incur expenses and recognize revenue. Fraudulent reporting is defined as having a preconceived intent to deceive financial statements in a material way. There is a difference between making decisions that fall within the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and of those which demonstrate the intent to deceive or conceal the misapprpropriation of assets or otherwise for gain. 3.

... 2013 Chipotle Code of Ethics The use of a standard code of ethics is vital for the survival of any business, since it helps in guiding all managerial decisions, creating a framework from which all the decisions are based. The significance of this will not only help in creation of an understanding within the boundaries of the business, but also help in setting of standards for interaction with the external stakeholders (Halbert & Ingulli, 2009). With this knowledge, I believe that Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. will be able to provide high quality services to all its customers and also be able to hire highly qualified personnel who understand the mission of the business (Mika, 2010).

Through this code, employees are expected to act in an honest manner and always be real, even when the supervisor is not watching.

There were many policies that I kept in mind which includes specialization, shape, distribution of power, and departmentalization. There were other drivers of structural choice that were also important. This included the size of the organization, environment, technology, as well as business strategy. If our organization adapted to these changes, there was no doubt that it could remain competitive in the business environment that is fast changing. This unit will mainly focus on the operating model that my organization uses in ensuring that there are smooth operations within the company. There are also different things in regards to decision rights that are fundamental to the organization and so are the four governance levers, which basically include beliefs, diagnostics, networks, and boundaries. It is important for everyone to know what is expected of them in respect to the above. Also in this assignment, I will highlight on the recommendations needed to help the organization to be center-led rather than centralized. To star with the operating models, my organization basically uses the integrated model. As identified earlier, there are various departments that have been established...

...I. In any relationship there are dialectics or tensions that may be experienced by both people, one of which is the disclosure-privacy dialectic. A. The disclosure-privacy dialectic is the tension between sharing personal information and keeping personal information confidential. B. Disclosure, or revealing private information, has related concepts. 2. Privacy is withholding confidential or secret information in order to enhance autonomy and/or minimize vulnerability. II. Each person has developed rules about what he or she will share, which is explained in more depth by the communication privacy management theory. A. Communication privacy management theory helps to explain the decision-making processes people use to manage disclosure and privacy. 1. The theory asserts that each of us has developed rules about privacy and disclosure. 2. These rules are designed to help us maximize the benefits of disclosure while minimizing risks. B. There are five factors that influence disclosure and privacy. 1. One’s culture influences rules about privacy and disclosure, with some cultures placing a higher value on privacy than others. 2. Gender is a criterion, since men or women who strongly identify themselves as masculine or feminine are likely to use rules for disclosure and privacy that correspond to sex role stereotypes. 3. Motivation is a criterion, since people differ in how eager they are to disclose to someone. 4. Context also determines privacy and disclosure...

...War with the Paparazzi Benjamin Biwer 4320316 JOUR3745 (Section 001) “I can’t go to war with paparazzi” (Craig). This statement, made by Daniel Craig, unintentionally (and unknowingly) references the power struggle between celebrity spin machines and the paparazzi. In his piece, “On the Function of the United States Paparazzi: Mosquito Swarm or Watchdogs of Celebrity Image, Control, and Power”, Andrew Mendelson analyzes the function of paparazzi and the role these popular culture fixtures have on society and celebrity. Specifically, Mendelson examines the “war” between highly controlled celebrity images and candid, raw offerings provided by the paparazzi. While an argument can, and should, be made regarding privacy issues, pictures obtained by paparazzi provide a necessary checks-and-balances system to the cunning world of celebrity and entertainment (Mendelson). To this end, Mendelson’s argument that journalists (i.e. the paparazzi) should “look more deeply” into celebrities and popular culture events is completely valid. This paper will provide arguments that support Mendelson’s view of the paparazzi – first, by exploring the issues presented by celebrity-controlled personas; and second, by reinforcing the need for fact checking, as exists in political and professional realms. Mendelson provides a thought-provoking piece that challenges conventional wisdom on the paparazzi (i.e. privacy and boundary issues). The most poignant of his arguments describes the tactics the media...
