...Michael Maung NSCI 501 Jarvis Communication Corporation Case study Mission Statement "To become your daily-life communication devices' provider in the United States" In order to meet this mission statement I would like to propose following three strategies: Strategy One Jarvis Communication should come up with new ideas, talents and methodologies to manufacture new products to the market.

...“Fish Tank” by Andrea Arnolds “Fish Tank” is a film directed by Andrea Arnold and starring newcomer Katie Jarvis and Michael Fassbender. It chronicles teenage angst in poverty-stricken Britain. Anytime I watch movie I always go by the rule that first 10 minutes of a film must do something to draw me into the story. If I think of going to the bathroom or being hungry, chances are I will not enjoy it. I bring this up because in Mia's world, things were taking such and immediate turn from the start that I no time to think about anything else because I became genuinely interested in what the will happen to this girl. The film is loaded with amazingly memorable characters. The film stars eighteen-year-old Katie Jarvis as fifteen-year-old hip-hop dance enthusiast Mia Williams. Mia is a girl who is so fed-up with the world around her she's at war with it. She's friendless, has a younger sister whom I'm quite certain is possessed by Satan, and a mother who's a drunk, a hussy, and would just as soon slap Mia as look at her. She's a volatile girl in a volatile world. Within the first two minutes we learn a ton about Mia as a person. She makes a phone call to her friend -- a friend we find out quickly - Mia has lost to a falling out because she can't control her temper. After the phone call, she jogs to the same friend's house, and throws rocks at the girl's dad to ensure he leaves a message for his daughter. Immediately after this, Mia gets into a fight with a group...

...Does: Three Examples of Academic Discourse”, Charles Bazerman presents a four part model through which we can analyze written works (Bazerman 24-26). The model includes the object under study, literature of the field, anticipated audience, and the author’s own self. Furthermore, we can apply Bazerman’s framework to different works. These works, though facing a difference in subject matter, nevertheless fit into this framework. The framework can be used to compare two different pieces, “Connecting natural landscapes using a landscape permeability model to prioritize conservation activities in the United States” by David M. Theobald, Sarah E. Reed, Kenyon Fields, and Michael Soulé as well as “Gender and Wilderness Conservation” by Kimberly Jarvis. All four parts in the framework are of immense importance, as we can use them to determine their purposes of each article. Consequently, we can compare the ideas and arguments made in these two essays, notwithstanding their difference. Additionally, we will learn through said comparison how each article seeks to persuade the readers that conservation is a virtuous task which which one should choose to involve himself in. The first essay, “Connecting natural landscapes...

(Lauderdale, Milstead, Nardi, Purnell, Douglas, Pierce, Rosenkoeter, Pacquiao, Callister, Hattar-Pollara, 2011) In order for the nurse to support their patient in receiving the best of health care it is imperative the nurse understand their patient’s heritage. “Health care organizations should ensure that patients receive from all staff members effective, understandable, and respectful care that is provided in a manner compatible with their cultural health beliefs and practices and preferred language” (Jarvis, 2012, p. 12) To provide this standard of care as defined by the Office of Minority Health, within the Cabinet of Health and Human Services one area that needs to be determined is the patient’s heritage. The nurse must provide cultural care to meet this standard. The components of Cultural Care require that the nurse be: Culturally...

...Julie said Amarion’s mother (April) reported being at work whenever the situation took place. Julie mentioned that Amarion’s father (Jarvis) reported running water for the child to take a bath and believing the water was too hot. Julie said according to Amarion, his father put him in the water and he could not get out of it so he started hollering for his father. Julie said Jarvis told her when he heard Amarion hollering for him he went and took him out of the bathtub and ran what he thought was some cooler water. However, Julie said Jarvis told her Amarion continued to holler when he was put back into the bathtub. Julie said according to Jarvis, the bath water was not hot to him but he guesses it was hot to Amarion. Jarvis said it is all on him because he is the one who ran the water and left the child in the bathtub alone. Jarvis said he did not leave Amarion in the bathtub by himself long. Jarvis said when Amarion hollered the second time he got him out of the bathtub and called April and she came home and they called 911.

...Article Review For my Article Review I decided to read, Is CALL Obsolete? Language Acquisition and Language Learning Revisited in a Digital Age by Huw Jarvis and Stephen Krashen. Computer-Assisted Language Learning or CALL for short has become an ever expanding. CALL was created to help people learn different languages with the use of computers. It came about in the 1960's before much was known about how we learn different languages. I think this seemed like a good idea at the time, but the creator just did not have enough data on how humans learn new languages. Now fifty years later different methods and practices of it have helped more people to better understand languages that are new to them. When CALL was first created it used a method that like I said seemed a good idea, but did not help people grasp languages that were new to them. The method that was used was more of a read and repeat method. We now know that while this method may have aided in language learning, it did not contribute to language acquisition. The Merriam Webster dictionary defines acquisition as "the act of getting or acquiring something: such as the act or process of gaining skill, knowledge, etc". This means that you can read and repeat all you want, but you are not gaining the skill or full knowledge of this new language. When learning a new language we also need understanding. According to Krashen, 2003, 2001, "we acquire language and develop literacy primarily from understanding what we read...

...speeches and articles against racial discrimination and to the changes that need to occur. "It is only when one learns that there are other things in South Africa than sun and gold and oranges that one's love grows deep and passionate, as a man may love a woman who is true, false, cold, loving, cruel, and afraid" (Paton 207). Mr. Jarvis was forced to reconsider his own prejudices after going through his son’s work. After the court case is finished Jarvis and Kumalo decide that change is needed. Paton brings the book full circle by going back to the problem presented in the first chapter with regards to the desolate valley where Ndotsheni is located. Kumalo and Jarvis try to solve the poor conditions by fixing the soil quality of the village which in turn persuades the younger generation to stay in the village. "The great valley of the Umzimkulu is still in darkness, but the light will come there. Ndotsheni is still in darkness..." (Paton 312), shows that there is inequality in the village but there is hope for South Africa as a whole if the two races come together and help each other. The major example of this is Arthur’s club for African boys, and Jarvis’ efforts to help the village people with their living...

...officer. Jim Jarvis, in a presentation Wednesday at the Archives, discussed various way of increasing tourism, like clearer, more unified signage, a more welcoming entrance to Uptown, and creating a heritage tourism council where members build a vision that sells Butte’s product — its history. Jarvis, who’s lived in Butte about 3½ years, said heritage tourism has been discussed in Butte over the past two decades, but solid plans haven’t really taken shape. Marketing, Jarvis said, has been the missing ingredient. Last year, a consultant helped update the 1993 Butte-Anaconda Regional Historic Preservation Plan. New plans include marketing strategies to attract tourists who drive through Butte — but don’t stop. Approximately three million nonresidents drive by Butte each year, mostly between May and October, Jarvis said. But less than 1 percent of those tourists stop. To attract visitors to “Montana’s Copperway,” Jarvis said it’s important to have a website, clear signage on the highway, and well-maintained historic features clearly marked by signs showing the way. Jarvis said his focus is on Uptown Butte. Plans for revitalizing the heritage on the hill could apply to the rest of Butte and Anaconda as well, he said.

...of the ways to learn about a person’s heritage is by using the Heritage Assessment (HA). The HA tool has 29 questions and is a reliable method used to collect data on the patients’ traditional heritage. This paper will discuss the usefulness of the Heritage Assessment (HA) tool, this student’s summary of personal learning, this student’s cultural heritage common health traditions, in addition to the differences in health traditions from three different cultures in relation to health maintenance, protection, and restoration. We have to understand our own cultural beliefs, values, attitudes, and practices that are relevant to health and illness before we can understand others (Jarvis, 2012). People have different views on health and illness which is influenced by their cultural beliefs. According to Jarvis (2012), to be culturally competent, one must have knowledge of one’s own personal heritage, the heritage of the patient, nursing profession, and health care system. The Heritage Assessment is a useful tool to build cultural competency by collecting relevant data to assist the healthcare providers to provide better care. The tool assists healthcare providers to bridge the gap to better understand the patients’ belief system resulting in a better healthcare experience for all participants involved. For example, if the family is the support group for a patient, then we need to include family members in the patient’s care. From the HA tool, this student learned that she follows...

...University March 21, 2011 Huntington’s Disease Huntington’s disease is a devastating and progressive neurological disorder that results primarily from degeneration of nerve cells deep in the center of the brain that waste away (PubMed Health, 2011). According to National Institute of Neurological Disorder and Stroke (2010) more than 15,000 Americans suffer from this debilitating disease. Nearly all people who develop Huntington’s disease will die within 10 to 30 years from onset. This disease does not show bias to any sex, ethnicity or race. The pathophysiology of Huntington’s disease is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait with high penetrance (Jarvis, 2008, p.360). The symptoms of Huntington’s disease are abnormal uncontrollable movements and personality changes (Jarvis, 2008, p.360). As the disease progresses so does the severity of the symptoms. It is a genetic disease that is passed on from generation to generation. A person can be genetically tested to determine if you have the gene for this disease. To date there is not a cure for this rare debilitating disease (Medline Plus, 2009). Definition of Disorder Huntington’s disease was named after an American doctor George Huntington in 1872. Before it was named by Doctor Huntington it was called “chorea” which means choreography in Greek. It was named so because people affected by this disease would twist, turn and jerk in uncontrollable movements that others perceived as dancing moves...

...(Irvine, 2007). Today, health promotion is defined not just by focusing on health education, lifestyle and behavioral changes, but has undertaken a new paradigm, empowering clients by taking political and social action to promote health enhancing environments (Irvine, 2007). Nurse practice involves all stages of the lifespan in a variety of settings, ranging from the family home to communities (Whitehead, 2011). In these settings, nurse health promotion practice proposes developing personal skills, building healthy public policy, creating supportive environments, strengthening community action and reorienting health services (Roden & Jarvis, 2012). Nurse roles and responsibilities are evolving by integrating newer conceptualizations of health promotions such as engaging in empowerment, community development and socio-political action (Roden & Jarvis, 2012). Two of the journal articles were research articles pertaining to evaluating nursing health promotion implementation in home health and pediatric areas. After citing barriers in the hospital setting such as lack of time,...
