...understanding of a period of history. There is our traditional Gregorian timeline, the prophet timeline, and the pagan timeline. They all tell us about events in a whole different format, so to speak. The Gregorian timeline that we are all familiar with, tell us everything that happened in any given event, in order. Everything is detailed in the way that all events are easily laid out in a line. We use this as we believe the life of the world is laid out with a beginning and end. We believe everything started at one point, it goes through history, and then abruptly ends at the end of the line. This is the common thought of Christians and such throughout history. However, the prophet timeline is a little different. It is somewhat similar to the Gregorian timeline, but not quite. The one key difference between the two is when something big and bad happens like the fall of a kingdom or black age of a people, the prophet timeline shows that. The timeline goes backwards a little bit when something like that happens, and then starts forward again. Now, the Pagan timeline is different than both of these. This timeline goes in a circle. The timeline shows more important events that repeat themselves. The pagan timeline shows everything repeating like reincarnation. Where time spins like the earth, constantly, without beginning or end. It’s a very interesting way of looking at things. All three of these timelines show different philosophies of time. Different ways of looking...

...The cycle of supervisory functions includes planning, organizing, staffing, influencing and controlling. Each function includes its own set of tasks or responsibilities. However, the functions are interrelated and are usually continuous. In other words, as a supervisor is controlling one facet of the organization, he or she may be planning another facet or activity. The stages of change model is based on the notion that employees will not change their behavior or actions overnight. Making allowances for employees to work through the various stages, such as consideration and Acceptance, involved planning. As employees are not expected to change behaviors overnight, Planning may include designed a training program that allows employees to be introduced to a concept or activity gradually, with an initial exposure and future practice sessions. Organizing may involve considering how and when to initiate the change. Organizing will consider time lines for employees to move through the various stages, with expected dates for the desired behavior to become a natural part of the work day. However, it may also require some flexibility, built into the time line or into a training program. Staffing may involve consideration for the potential employees, who are able to change or show a willingness to do things differently. The supervisor may consider hiring those who indicate flexibility, over those who are inflexible or biased in their methods. Those who are less flexible may also be...

...The Curse The Curse - Time, point of view, symbolism and figurative language by Nicki Time Looking at the “time” in any kind of literature, is to be viewed at, in two different ways. First there’s the level of events, which describes what happens in the story, as it actually happens. It’s a chronological timeline if you want to say so. Then there’s the level of thoughts, making room for flashbacks, flash forwards in a timeline. In “The Curse” the level of events and level of thoughts follow each other most of the way. So if I put up a timeline, they would be very alike. The timeline for the level of events starts out with our main character Mitchell, is in the bar a late night in august, when a group of young men, probably affected by drugs, enters the bar. After the “last call” a girl enters the bar, asking for some change for the cigarette automat. The men begin to rape this girl, and when Mitchell tries to call the police, he’s being shoved. The next thing that happens is, that the police arrives and start to treat the girl and interrogate Mitchell about what had happened. When the police are gone, Mitchell is in the bar alone with Bob (who’s the manager of the bar). Mitchell gets home, and sits by himself until his wife joins him while he start to tell what had happened. The next day he tells his children about the incident and goes to work, where he talks with Reggie, a customer. To the level of thoughts, Mitchell starts in the bar after the police have left...

...Clarification is the skill we use to ensure that we have understood the message of the speaker in an interpersonal exchange. When using clarification follow these guidelines to help aid communication and understanding. * Admit if you are unsure about what the speaker means. * Ask for repetition. * State what the speaker has said as you understand it, and check whether this is what they really said. * Ask for specific examples. * Ask if you have got it right and be prepared to be corrected. * Use open, non-directive questions - if appropriate. Open Questions If your role is to assist a speaker to talk about an issue, often the most effective questioning starts with 'when', 'where', 'how' or 'why'. These questions encourage speakers to be open and expand on their thoughts. As a teenager my father would tell me not to come home late. It seemed my idea of late and his idea of late were different because no matter what time I came home-I was late! When I finally asked him what time he expected me home he refused to name an hour. I never met his expectation because he assumed I would know what late meant. Unfortunately, this was typical of his communication style. I solved it by leaving home at an early age. Don’t make leaving the option of choice for your team. Be clear, confirm understanding and make the outcome possible. Anil: Problem: Failure to clarify the desired results assuming the outcome is understood. Management is often working within a...

...Those elements include people, events, and even places I have gone and came across in my life that have made me who I am today. Who am I? A question asked countless times by one’s self. My life up to high school was so much fun and years I definitely enjoyed. The first biggest vacation I remember taking was to Disney World in 1996. I remember very clearly most of every moment of that trip, it was a very hot summer that year, but yet it was so beautiful. One thing I remember most about that trip is a quote that was on a sign right as you entered the gates; “All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.” Ever since that hot summer day, that quote has stuck with me, and I still refer to it when times get tough. In the 5th grade, I met this wonderful little girl named Patricia on the playground who came up to me and asked me if I wanted to be pushed on the swing. I was shy at first, but I agreed to let her help me. At the age of 10, I didn’t really know the value of friendship, and little did I know that she would be become my best friend. We spent every summer together and she has made such an important impact in my life. To this day, she is still my best friend. The road through high school was bumpy and had lots of road blocks but in the end, I felt accomplished. I had my best friend and family beside my side every step of the way. I was enjoying life until...

...proven by analyzing samples of rocks , solar systems, and minerals. Scientist have collaborated and scientifically giving proves of objects, like how old it the oldest rock on earth or the oldest mineral and where did it come from. Material (Oldest earth rock), Age (4.0 billion years), and Methods (radiometric) our how the geologic scale combinations of specific source that tell the what scientist have documented and dated there sources. These are examples of why some assume the age of the earth is a billion years old. One big scientists believer was James Hutton studied rocks and fossils and believed the they made millions of years ago. But with every study he had to make people understand the laws of nature and the different events that life has formed within the earth. There are many reason we can say the world was made thousands years ago. Most of the Creationists believe the earth was created about Thousand years ago. There is no hard prove or witness to...

...One of the most significant biological debates of this generation regards the possibility of a forthcoming, human-induced mass extinction event and what it’s effects would be upon the evolution rate of species. In the search for understanding this possibility and its effects, scientists must look to the past where it is widely accepted that there have been 5 previous periods of mass extinction. The term ‘mass extinction event’ is defined as any period when abnormally large numbers of species die out simultaneously or within a limited time frame. Such occurrences have been observed at 5 places in history- the Ordovician-Silurian, Late Devonian, Permian, Triassic Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. What was the cause of these extinction periods? Well... no one can say for sure. Although there are a number of plausible hypotheses, the sheer amount of time and space between today and the events in question makes it very difficult to place a theory as anything more than conjecture. In saying this, it is known that these cataclysms were random occurrences and not caused by the actions of any one single species. The extinction of species is not normally considered an important element of Neodarwinian theory, in contrast to the opposite phenomenon, speciation. In the wake of mass extinction periods, the fossil records provide an accurate and reliable source of information invaluable to the study of evolution. Today, there is evidence mounting to suggest that the sixth mass extinction...

...EN1320 Final Research Paper | The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and keep it. (Gen. 2:15, Revised Standard Version) In the beginning man was given the responsibility for keeping the earth. As good care takers it’s our responsibility to ensure the survival of all the animals and plants on earth. The earth is made up of elements, and within those elements are the countless numbers of species, each interwoven within the fabric of life itself. The effects of man on the environment have a negative reaction to all other species. Studies of earth’s history show mass extinction events. Scientist project we are living within such an event. The world is heading toward imminent mass species extinction. A healthy earth may not be possible due to the irreversible effect brought on my man. Endangered plants and animals face the risk of becoming extinct, disappearing completely from the world of living things. Human survival has had such an effect on all other species around them. Hunting, fishing, or gathering may have reduced the populations of many species to levels too low for the species to survive, especially when there is a profitable trade in goods made from wild animals and plants. (Current Issues, 2010) The Earth should be big enough of all plants and animals to thrive but according to the American Association for the Advancement of Science, humans are using about half the available land. (Wilson, 2012) The American Association...

...In today’s world we have the law enforcement of all levels that protect and serve the people from and all acts of violence, theft and any other crime committed against one another. When a dead beat father leaves his baby’s mothers because he doesn’t want to own up to the responsibility we have a legal court system that gives that women right to child support. In today’s world we have what’s called a due process that is provide and individual, company a state justice. Whenever there has been some wrong doing our country now has a system to reclaim justice to the victim. This system of justice originated from a Babylonian King. King Hammurabi’s code would lay the foundation of justice for the people for generation to come after him. Before the greatness of Babylon in early Mesopatamia there was the III dynasty of Ur. The founder and king of the Ur dynasty Ur-Nammu ruled from 2113 - 2096 BC. “King Ur- Nammau was very involved in the rebuilding of his dynasty in agriculture and re- establishing civil order and security. King Ur-nammu would be succeeded by his son Shugli that ruled from 2096 -2048 BC. King Shulgi was very skilled in hunting and was an expert in military tactics” (Woolley 53). King Shugli would then have two sons to succeed him and take the crown unfortunately they had a very difficult maintaining the dynasty and as the legal and administration began to fall apart so did the dynasty and it would be reduced to a small city state.

...1. Which segment of its operations got Enron into difficulties? The segment of its operations that got Enron into trouble was Kopper and Dodson creating a series of limited partnerships and limited companies through which to operate their interests, but Kopper had no outside investor at risk. 3. Did Enron’s directors understand how profits were being made in this segment? Why or why not? I do not think Enron’s directors understood how profits were being made in this segment. They were unable to rely on the information they were receiving or on Enron’s company policies being followed. Management was out of control. 5. Ken Lay was the chair of the board and the CEO for much of the time. How did this probably contribute to the lack of proper governance? The CEO should have knowledge of what is going on with his business at all times. They should get a report of the company’s revenue daily, and Ken Lay should have noticed that the revenue was overstated. 6. What aspects of the Enron governance system failed to work properly, and why? The aspect of the Enron governance system that failed to work properly was the accounting firm. Their primary function was to assure that the company was accurately and completely disclosing its financial results and condition. 9. Identify conflicts of interests in: • SPE activities- Enron used several SPE’s to hide debt and overstate equity and earnings • Arthur Andersen’s activities- Management got the idea for some of their most creative...

Lighter materials, such as silicate minerals, migrate upwards in exchange. These silicate-rich materials may well have risen to the surface in molten form, giving rise to an initial magma ocean Early Earth heats up due to radioactive decay, compression, and impacts. Over time the temperature of the planet interior rises towards the Femelting line. After the initial segregation into a central iron (+nickel) core and an outer silicate shell, further differentiation occurred into an inner (solid) and outer (liquid) core (a pressure effect: solid iron is more densely packed than liquid iron), the mantel (Fe+Mg silicates) and the crust (K+Na silicates). Initially large portions of the crust might have been molten - the so called magma ocean. The latter would have cooled to form a layer of basaltic crust (such as is present beneath the oceans today). Continental crust would have formed later. It is probable that the Earth’s initial crust was remelted several times due to impacts with large asteroids...

...real world. Jonathan Mostow addressed this in his film Surrogate, where people live their lives through an idealized android version of themselves, an android that is customizable and completely replaces all human interaction in society. While robots becoming common existence in the world are one topic ablaze through conversation in the world, there are numerous more topics just as popular. Many others will be touched upon in this paper because science fiction is a channel in which people can speculate about the future and how people will impact it. Science fiction is a form of time travel where the mind and imagination can travel into the future and catch a glimpse of what life might me be in the near or far future. While the far future speculations are often romanticized with amazing technology and alien life, the near future is often peppered with a crumbling dystopian society. A future in which the world suffered through a cataclysmic event and society is held together by barely a thread. Judge Dred is one such example of a world that was mostly destroyed by nuclear fallout with only walled in megacities still stand. Inside the cities, crime is rampant and the only thing that stands between order and chaos are the Judges, a peacekeeping force that gives law enforcement officers the ability of judge, jury and executioner. Now nuclear fallout is a huge threat in the world today...
