...So who do you think about when I mention leader? Some think Malcolm Turnbull, Or president Obama. I think of Kim Jong UN… probably not the best person to think about but that’s my though probably not the best person though. If I were to say that we are all leaders right now I would be lying. But hear me out I think that we all can become that person we dream about that person that changes the world. How many of you follow someone. And how many people follow someone even though you have the chance to lead. I know that all we can be a leader. You just have to take that chance. So what everyone fails in their life? From a great movie Rocky there is a quote which is my favourite quote of all time its. “It doesn’t matter hard you hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. So don’t stop once you fail become that leader that you can be because of your strength. Some say OH NO I WANTSN’T BORN TO BE A LEADER SO I CAN BE ON HELP MEEEE! Not true at all no bone is born a leader it is earned. Let’s take Kim Jong UN and President Obama. Kim Jong UN was born into power but he I not a great leader. No he is horrible. He hasn’t done anything good for North Korea and that’s not good leader ship. Yes I said anyone could be a leader he...

...As John C. Maxwell once stated, “A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.” Kim Jong Il was an influential leader with a dominant personality. Born on February 16, 1942, much of Kim Jong Il’s life was based around North Korean government and the actions he took to promote his leadership. The purpose of this paper is to examine the early life of Kim Jong I1, his successes and fails during his rise to power, and his ending days. Kim Jong I1’s father, Kim II-sung, was a commander in World War II during the first Battalion of the Soviet 88th Brigade which was between the Chinese and Korean battling the Japanese Army. His mother, Kim Jong-suk, was his father’s first wife. Jong was only four years old when World War II...

...term is much more nuanced. Kim Il Sung explained: Establishing juche means, in a nutshell, being the master of revolution and reconstruction in one’s own country. This means holding fast to an independent position, rejecting dependence on others, using one’s own brains, believing in one’s own strength, displaying the revolutionary spirit of self-reliance, and thus solving one’s own problems for oneself on one’s own responsibility under all circumstances. The DPRK claims that juche is Kim Il Sung’s creative application of Marxist-Leninist principles to the modern political realities in North Korea.2 Kim Il Sung and his son Kim Jong Il have successfully wielded the juche idea as a political shibboleth to evoke a fiercely nationalistic drive for North Korean independence and to justify policies of self-reliance and self-denial in the face of famine and economic stagnation in North Korea. Kim Il Sung envisioned three specific applications of juche philosophy: political and ideological independence, especially from the Soviet Union and China; economic self-reliance and self-sufficiency; and a viable national defense system.3 This paper begins with a discussion of the three key components of the juche ideology – political, economic and military independence – as promulgated by the DPRK. The second section is a discussion of the ideological origins of the juche philosophy, followed by a third section on the philosophical bases of the juche idea. The paper concludes with an examination...

...China, and a small portion of the USSR (Geography). This 600 mile long peninsula is just above the 38th parallel, with a size of just above 45,000 square miles (Geo). With this, it makes the country itself smaller than the state of Pennsylvania. The make-up of the land in North Korea consists of several mountain ranges, lined up north to south, with small valleys in between each (Geo). This does not allow for many rural areas, leading to large cities populated by millions of people. The Yalu River forms a portion of the northern border with Manchuria (Geo). The mountains in the country prevent large farms, which results in importing a lot of the foods they eat. Attractions in North Korea to mention include Arirang, Tower of Juche Idea, and Kim II-sung Square (Attractions). These are just a few of the very many attractions in North Korea today. With the cities lined with tall buildings put very close together, this leaves for very beautiful architecture and design to the cities in North Korea. The...

...detonated a nuclear device, and forever changed the global political landscape. Despite the best efforts of the United States, China, South Korea, Japan, and Russia, the isolationist regime was not deterred from joining the elite nuclear club.1 Now faced with the prospect of North Korean nuclear proliferation, the world is undoubtedly a more dangerous place to live in. Over the last 50 years, virtually all the instruments of national power have been brought to bear in an effort to solve the security dilemma presented by the North Korean regime. The detonation on October 8th suggests these previous strategies were not nearly effective enough. A nuclear armed North Korea presents a grave danger that should force us to reexamine our policy. This paper focuses on the economic instrument, examines how it has been utilized over the last 15 years in both the Clinton and Bush administrations, and offers some thoughts on a desired endstate of North Korean economic integration. The Context--the Fall of Communism The fall of the Berlin wall was a watershed event in man’s political, social, and economic evolution. For almost five decades, two superpowers squared off in relative peace under the frightening specter of mutually assured destruction. The policy of the United States was containment. If the US could only hold the Soviet Union at bay long enough, the Soviets would crumble from within. The Cold War was David E. Sanger, “North Koreans Say They Tested Nuclear Device,” New York...

A beautician is a professional who’s trained and who has expertise knowledge on beauty therapy and make-up. With experience, a beautician can match the make-up colors to suit a person, according to her appearance and personality. However, one does not need the help of a beautician, if that person can choose the appropriate make-up colors for herself. Introduction: Selection of colors for a make-up is vital for a Beautician as well as for any lady who rely on make-up to appear beautiful. This research based project explores the possibility of automating the process of make-up selection (color selection) according to the facial features of a given person (woman). In particular, the research is intended to look at a Neural Network and Fuzzy Logic based approach to the problem, because with careful selection of data, a Neural Network can be trained or Fuzzy...

...Abstract This paper examines four published articles and one chapter in a textbook that reports results from research conducted in counseling sessions involving bullies, the bullied, and others affected by bullying. Reality Therapy (RT), Choice Theory (CT) and Bullying Prevention Programs (BPP) are examined to see their effect on clients becoming autonomous in directing their actions. School shootings have brought to light the effects of bullying and bullying seems to be occurring at epidemic proportions. Studies are needed on how to effectively counsel those involved in bullying so that they can reassess and learn methods to choose better actions to prevent bullying. This paper compares the research along with Glasser’s RT/CT to have counselors and clients examine their own struggles and how specific procedures can lead to changes in behavior. The process allows the clients to move in a direction of getting what they want while stepping away from the world of bullying. It also allows the counselor to teach clients how to make substantial connections with others and how to determine if better choices are possible. Keywords: bullying, RT/CT, BPP A School Counselor’s Approach to Combating Bullying Using the Choice Theory and Reality Therapy Katy Perry once said, “People talk about bullying, but you can be your own bully in some ways. You can be the person who is standing in the way of your success, and that was the case for me.” (Perry, n.d.). RT and CT used in conjunction...

Women have been shed from state-affiliated employment and thrust into a market environment characterized by weak institutions and corruption. More than one-third of men indicate that criminality and corruption is the best way to make money, and 95% of female traders report paying bribes. The increasingly male-dominated state preys on the increasingly female-dominated market. Energies are directed toward survival and this population appears to lack the tools to act collectively to improve their status. Ó 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Incorrect credit judgement causes huge financial losses. This work describes the use of an evolutionary-fuzzy system capable of classifying suspicious and non-suspicious credit card transactions. The paper starts with the details of the system used in this work. A series of experiments are described, showing that the complete system is capable of attaining good accuracy and intelligibility levels for real data. 1. INTRODUCTION Fraud is a big problem today. Looking at credit card transactions alone, with millions of purchases every month, it is simply not humanly possible to check every one. And when many purchases are made with stolen credit cards, this inevitably results in losses of significant sums. The only viable solution to problems...

So, this paper presents divergent perspectives defining the brand image concept and concluding the debate about its multidimensionality. Five major clusters of definitions of brand image construct are observed such as generic definitions, meanings/messages, symbolic definitions, personality based definitions and cognitive/psychological definitions. Another important milestone in the evolution of brand image is the theory behind the concept of brand positioning. Brand Image is a multi dimensional construct that is triggered by cognitions, emotions, symbols, values and attitudes of consumers. However, many researchers measured it as uni-dimensional construct. Initially benefits based dimensionality was used to...

...fatal in the sense of reprisals accustomed to it. In any case, international criminal activities are largely based geopolitical factors rather than the genuine purpose of ending human to human barbarism. This paper will attempt to prove that ‘global community’ commitment to end genocide events is categorically challenged by lack of sufficient devotion to ‘the pledge’ to eradicate the vice. The paper is structured into three main parts and one secondary part. The background will attempt to examine the scholarly effort attempting to relate the basis of global community pledge and the general act of genocide. A further sub category of this part will introduce the role played by United Nations in minimizing genocide. The second section will be substantial in analyzing past genocide events; courtesy of three relevant examples, Cambodia, Sri Lanka and Rwanda. In this section, the document will examine the various roles played by United Nations in fueling the genocide. The third section will examine 21 century events, and how United Nations has chosen a back player in preventing the occurrences of these genocides. The secondary section will attempt to examine the role played by International Criminal Court and how it has been challenged in limiting genocide events. Background Research has attempted relate the end of the holocaust and the emergence of non-allied political movements and arms race to contemporary genocide.

...grow every year due to an increase in the incidence of hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and the aging population. CKD can develop into end-stage renal disease (ESRD) rapidly without intervention, and the only treatment currently available is renal replacement therapy or kidney transplant. The cost of treating those in the United States with ESRD in 2009 was approximately $40 billion dollars, and this cost continues to grow each year ("National Kidney and Urologic Diseases Information Clearinghouse (NKUDIC) "). Moreover, patients who develop kidney disease pay an even higher price with their life. Studies have shown that CKD is associated with a higher rate of cardiovascular disease as well as all other related mortalities (Kurth, de Jong, Cook, Buring, & Ridker, 2009). An adult with CKD is 16-40 times more likely to die before reaching ESRD than an adult without the disease ("CDC, National chronic kidney disease "). The rate of CKD is on the rise and could potentially be the largest source of health care expenditures in the United States annually. If we do not develop an intervention approach to delay the progression of CKD, ESRD could become an epidemic, and it is therefore imperative that an effective approach for slowing the...

...Korea. In my opinion, South Korea is welcoming to this venture; this can be seen in the upcoming research. In this report, I explore the geography of Seoul, South Korea. I learn of the growing, large, population and the population density of 45,000 people per square mile (“Population Statistics,” 2013). Next, I review the demographics and find out that minority groups consist of 2.2% of the population (Population Statistics, 2013). While reviewing the demographics I found that the education system is extremely strict; though it is more lenient now, it is still success driven (Chakrabarti, 2013). I also found that religion is not going to be an issue with this venture, in my opinion. There are two major religions; the major Christian religion will be implemented in the venture (Koo, n.d.). Education and demographics are important to a global business venture, though I believe the economy is most important. I present information about South Korea’s economy, and how it has transformed from an aid recipient to a donor country (Globalization, n.d.). Here is where I mention the chaebol’s success, which accounted for 55.7% of South Koreas GDP in 2010 (Globalization, n.d.) Not only will I show the success of the economy, I will also describe the failing housing market (Seoul Reflects South Korea Housing Trouble, 2013).
