...truly love to be surrounded by and use. 1. The Pattern Can Define Your Design Towels with patterns, either simple or intricate, might add an amazing touch to your bathroom or a disastrous one; thus, this is one area to be extremely selective in bathroom design. Patterns, no matter where they are, should complement their surroundings, never clash. If your bathroom walls, floor or ceiling have any patterns already, keep your towels simple, if you opt for any pattern at all. Matching patterns might not clash, but they can make you dizzy and trying to coordinate patterns of any complexity can get pretty tricky fast. Towels with a subtle or muted pattern should be easier to match with your decor and they'll really make the existing colors and shapes pop. When choosing towel sets, you might want to get two of varying colors, but with the same pattern, to add dimension. 2. Placement Really Matters While you want a towel...

The USDA Food Pattern diet consists of an amount of food from each food group based on a calorie amount that follows the MyPlate guidelines and recommendations. The DASH eating plan, emphasis eating food high in potassium, calcium, magnesium, fiber and low in sodium, red meats and sugar. It suggests eating plenty of vegetables, fruits, grains, fist, poultry, nuts, grains, and seeds. This diet was created in mind for the population who has high blood pressure and it is geared towards preventing heart disease and stroke. The last of these three diets is the traditional Mediterranean eating pattern which consists of plant based products. This eating...

...induction is when specific patterns are observed in a reasonable sample and are used to generalize cases that are not and at times can’t be observed. The key word being generalization, inductive reasoning would assume that all future occurrences would be the same as the specific patterns observed. Unfortunately since it is impossible to observe every single specific occurrence, induction may result in inaccurate reasoning. Inductive reasoning is used in science by first making an observation, then producing a hypothesis from the observation, testing the hypothesis and eventually creating a possible theory. Scientific theories are important ideas in science and are arrived through inductive reasoning. Although a scientist may be extremely confident that their theory is accurate, validity is questioned due to it being created through...

...The pattern of distributions of these species found is a zonation pattern. A zonation pattern is where a species exists in bands showing that different species are dominant at different lengths the further they move away from the water. Some species will exist more confidently than other species so they outcompete each other. Using data collecting using the quadrats and a transect rope, we can predict the distribution of the species depending on how much of the species we see at different lengths. When we were gathering our data, we had to take into consideration the temperature of the water in the quadrat, the light exposure at the time of day (approximately 11:30am), the gradient of the rocks and if there were any rockpools where we were gathering the...

...commonly found in flees which originates in the skin of various ground rodents. The bacterium comes in three forms bubonic, septicemic, and pneumonic. It initially spread from trading vessels and then to cities, villages, and eventually the countryside. The plague arouse so fast, people didn’t know what to do and assumed leaving their home was the best option, when in reality it caused even more of a problem. The effects of the plague lasted several decades after it was gone by causing major social, cultural, and economic problems all over the world. Despite all of the studies, researchers still have many questions on why and how the disease chose its victims and how it escalated so quickly. In order to understand the sexual mortality pattern of the Black Death plague one must look at two questions “did either sex face an elevated risk during the epidemic or were men and women at equal risk of dying?” (DeWitte 222) Beneficial for this information, one must understand the concept of selective mortality. Selective mortality is the belief that certain individuals are more likely to die than others based on their physical and mental status. It is commonly related to the Darwinian concept...

For example, when you are looking at the literature piece “The Yellow Wallpaper” the most obvious symbol in this piece is the yellow wallpaper. In the literature piece, “The Story of an Hour” one symbol in this piece is the open window. Lastly, in the literature piece “A Good Man is Hard to find” one symbol in this piece is the grandmother’s hat. All these symbols in the different literature pieces are key to telling the story.

Social Media Ad The project is about arranging information into a designed billboard (lamppost), magazine spread and social media ad that delivers some information to the client in a creative and neat way that represents the Royal University for Women best. My goals were to achieve a united theme to be presented in the billboard (lamppost), magazine spread and social media ad. I also wanted it to be held together and aligned. I was aiming to achieve a clean look of an efficient design to the campaign design but have a hint of the every day campus as well as its own pattern and shapes, so its gets unified. My target group of people was the ones who are interested in looking for universities, and attracting young people that has recently graduated or people that are looking for transfer and any person that is looking for a place to get educated. 1. Billboard (Lamppost) The Billboard is suppose to be simple and clear so the drivers would catch what is on the billboard advertisement while driving pass it, the total of billboards are four. Four representing the number of faculties in the university that are Art & Design, Information Technology, Business & Financial Sciences and Law. My idea was to symbolize each faculty with its own symbol but without excluding its title “Faculty of Art & Design”, I also wanted to include only the website to keep it simple and for sure the RUW logo its suppose to be...

...researchers in the study of leadership. This paper will provide an overview of the behavior approach study of leadership. Leadership has been defined in terms of traits, behaviors, influence, interaction patterns, role relationships, and occupation of an administrative position (Robbins & Judge, 2011). The meaning or explanation of leadership is an area that has been debated for years. Today most definitions of leadership reflect the assumption that it involves a process whereby intentional influence is exerted over other people to guide, structure, and facilitate activities, and relationships in a group or organization (Robbins & Judge, 2011). Behavior Approach The behavior approach is the result of researcher’s inability to produce steady results connecting individual’s traits with effective leadership. The shift moved from examining leaders traits to examining leader’s behaviors, in the early 1950s. Researchers began observing managers actions on-the-job, they wanted to know what leaders did and what behaviors contributed to their success. Surveys and direct observation are some techniques researcher’s uses to collect data. Ohio State University and the University of Michigan studies on behavior leadership generated patterns. The institutions studies produced patterns as task-oriented behaviors and people-oriented...

...10. Critically discuss the key features of the societies which lived at Mapungubwe and Great Zimbabwe. By Michael Steel Introduction: The kingdom of Great Zimbabwe has been the topic of numerous debates and research studies, as well as being a national monument that draws tourists from around the world to its destination as a result of the rich history of the area. Great Zimbabwe ruins dates back to the Iron Age and is situated near Masvingo in Zimbabwe, between the Limpopo and Zambezi River. “Zimbabwe” meaning “stone buildings” is derived from the Shona term “dzimba dzamabwe”, which refers to the stone walls that that surround houses and kraals in traditional Shona settlements, such as Great Zimbabwe. It was of popular belief amongst historians that Great Zimbabwe was the first site in southern Africa in which a community was socially structured and sophisticated, therefore being considered the most complex of societies in precolonial southern Africa.However, a more recent discovery in 1932 found that a structured society preceded that of Great Zimbabwe by about a century in the Limpopo basin, an area known as the Mapungubwe. It is also popularly considered amongst historians that the people of the Mapungubwe area were in fact the ancestors of those who built the kingdom of Great Zimbabwe. Archaeological evidence indicates the earliest findings of class distinction through architecture and spatial arrangements, hence social structure, are found in the area of Mapungubwe...

...Managers engage in different ways to manage their earnings. They take on a specific pattern depending on the economic condition or their characteristic – that is, whether they are risk-averse or not. In the next few slides, I will describe four different patterns of earnings management: taking a bath, income minimization, income maximization, and income smoothing. Taking a Bath pattern can take place during period of organizational stress or when a company is undergoing major reorganization. In this pattern, managers feel that if they must report a loss, they might as well “clear the decks” and report a large one. They do so by writing-off assets in order to provide for future costs. Because of accrual reversal, this enhances the probability of future reported profits. The next pattern is Income Minimization. This is similar to Taking a Bath but it’s less extreme. Firms going through periods of high profitability usually take on such a pattern. Policies that suggest income minimization include rapid write-offs of capital and intangible assets and expensing A&P and research & development expenditures. It can also be noted that Canada’s progressive tax rate provides another incentive for this pattern. Looking at the other end of the spectrum, managers also manage their earnings upwards. This pattern is usually common in companies where managers are driven by bonuses. Another incentive to choose this pattern is to avoid debt covenant violation which I will explain in detail later on...

...When looking back at this semester and all the reflection essays that I wrote, I noticed numerous problems that stood out for each essay and some that repeated themselves. These problems formed various patterns that appeared throughout my writing, brought out my strongest and weakest points for each essay, and made me think about what I would have done differently if I would have had more time. As I began writing the review essay, the annotated bibliographies, and the academic argument, the one problem, or error, that became consistent was lack of detail of the citations I used in my earlier drafts. As I looked back at my essay for the academic argument, this became one of the most noticeable patterns that was consistent throughout all my...

Today, we have far more information than we can handle, from business transactions and scientific data, to satellite pictures, text reports and military intelligence. Information retrieval is not enough anymore for decision-making. Faced with huge collections of data, we have now created new needs to help us make better managerial choices. As we make a shift from collecting to connecting data, businesses are searching for relationships between data sets to reveal valuable new insight. How do we then sort this huge chunk of data, how do we find related patterns/relationship between these...

...The Art of Seeing Essay Nick Cave Soundsuit Mixed Media Page 184 Soundsuit, created by Nick Cave in 2009 resembles a cloud of ceramic birds that surrounds a body suit of crocheted yarn pieces. The structure that resides on the crocheted body suit resembles the flight pattern of the birds, some delicate lines with beads and others strong, steel like structure protruding upwards, almost looking like tree branches or roots of a tree if looked at upside down. The body suit has various colors although keeping a palate of reds, oranges, pinks, black and white. The patterns resemble flowers of various types and sizes breaking the monotony of matching patterns. The various materials used in Soundsuit work together to create an egg-shaped sphere around the crocheted body suit giving the viewer a feel of surrounding; noise of movement. The strong predominant vertical metal branches that hold the ceramic birds symbolize branches, especially since the artist selected ceramic birds that are perched. Not one bird is alike, some with extended wings and others seeming to take flight; the sound of flapping wings is almost audible. The crocheted body suit has a feeling of randomness, different flowers and symbols in different places in non-geometrical lines. The suite covers all body parts except the head and hands as if the suit would give a person a different identity. It almost feels as if this body suit is closely related to nature. Soundsuit is uniform in the sense that it contains...

...Entrepreneur ambidexterity Ambidexterity = the ability both to explore and “search for new, useful adaptions”, and exploit through “the use and propagation of known adaptions”. This is vital to the survival and performance of organizations. Firms should maintain a balance between exploration and exploitation. There has been scant attention to what makes an individual ambidexterious. Several reasons warrant the examination of entrepreneur ambidexterity in small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs): 1. Small business have limited resource endowments. Since exploration and exploitation compete for scarce resources, attention and organizational routines, the situation is likely to heighten the paradoxes facing entrepreneurs. 2. Most SMEs are owned and managed by one individual or a very small group of individuals: the owner-manager makes virtually all the strategic decisions. Ambidexterity: 1. Literally: the ability to use both hands with equal ease. 2. In management: used to refer to an organization’s ability to do two seemingly paradoxical things simultaneously: * To explore and exploit * Be efficient and be flexible * Align and adapt Distinction between exploration and exploitation (March): * Exploration: includes things like research, variation, risk-taking, experimentation, play, flexibility, discovery, innovation. * Exploitation: includes thing like improvement, choice, production, efficiency, implementation, execution...
