...aspects of the human sexual response cycle of Masters and Johnson: Correcting errors and suggesting modifications Masters and Johnson’s book Human Sexual Response brought a face and a name to a topic that, for their time, was not talked about around town, in the barber shops and diners. Certainly not a conversation to be spoken of in public. And if it was being discussed in the “unmentionable” public, it was obviously being told all wrong! I understand and even appreciate their fascination with such topics. At least someone was trying to get it right! Method Participants The reviewed article, written by Roy Jerome Levin of the Porterbrook Clinic, in Sheffield, United Kingdom, explained his belief that the book Masters and Johnson wrote in 1966, Human Sexual Response was outdated and left incorrect or unexplained aspects of their reports on specific mechanisms involved in the sexual arousal process. His research examined eight facts from Masters and Johnsons book and offered modifications and/ or corrections as support for his findings. Procedure The article reviewed looks critically at eight physiological aspects of the sexual arousal process described in the original report that with the increased laboratory studies available now have been shown to need correction or modification or additional explanation. The format used for discussion of the eight aspects is, first, to give the direct quote from the 1966 first edition of Masters and Johnson in book with page numbers and...

...In Malaysia, the provision for education is the biggest challenge for the government as the nation strives to become a fully developed country by the year 2020. One solution is to use technology as an enabler to bring education to the masses. Universities are taking up the challenge by updating the content of their programs but more importantly, utilizing the latest technologies to improve the delivery systems. One of the emerging delivery systems much talked about is Open and Distance Education which is fast becoming the way of providing education to the masses. As a result of this new phenomenon, in August 1999, the Minister of Education invited Multimedia Technology Enhancement Operations Sdn. Bhd. (METEOR), a consortium of 11 public universities in the country, to set up an open university. The move by the Minister led to the establishment of Open University Malaysia (OUM) in August 2000 followed by its official launching on 26 August 2002 by the Right Honorable Dato Seri Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, the then Prime Minister of Malaysia. OUM is the seventh private university in Malaysia. Although incorporated as a private university under the Private Higher Education Institutions Act 1996, the University leverages on the quality, prestige and capabilities of its strategic partners - a consortium of the 11 public universities. OUM adopts the motto “University for All" which is consistent with its philosophy on democratization of education. This philosophy underlies the belief...

...work when N varies, or can be made to work with some more effort. Depending on the context, the N nodes may or may not be able to hear each other; in some cases, they may not be able to at all, in some cases, they may, with some probability, and in some cases, they will always hear each other. Each node has some source of data that produces packets. Each packet may be destined for some other node in the network. For now, we will assume that every node has packets destined to one given “master” node in the network. Of course, the master must be capable of hearing every other node, and receiving packets from those nodes. We will assume that the master perfectly receives packets from each node as long as there are no “collisions” (we explain what a “collision” is below). The model we consider has the following rules: Time is divided into slots of equal length, τ. Each node can send a packet only at the...

...will increase as the years accumulate, it just a matter of time. So why should people care?, why should people try to resist it and suffer though?, Elizabeth Bishop’s poem “One Art” deals with the dilemma and the tragedy of losing everything. Jonathan Sircy explains the poem briefly and says “In the face of overwhelming loss, Bishop appears in this first stanza to have constructed an admittedly bittersweet, but nonetheless efficacious, philosophy of survival” (2). The author applies several poetic techniques from the villanelle’s style in the poem. For example, she uses refrain and two repeated rhymes, to give a specific effect on words and produce a message of ideas to the reader. The stanzas four and six are the most relevant for the analysis and research of this poem, in order to understand its structure and the reason of the writer to work write this down. The first stanza to be explained is the fourth one, it begins with this first line that says “Then practice losing farther, losing faster:” In this line the author uses euphony to make it sound good, and emphasize certain words, so that the reader can remember the line easily. This line changes the poem to the direction of losing progressively from less to more and from things not really relevant to things with significance in someone’s life. There are more poetic techniques to mention in the line. For example, the consonance technique is used on “farther” and “faster”, the same beginning and ending letters, and the...

...SWOT Analysis Fourwinds Marina has a variety of strengths, including being an attractive boating destination and the largest full-service marina of its kind in the U.S., but a major weakness is that the company has been mismanaged since day one. None of its general managers were experienced in marina operations, including its newest, Jack Keltner, the sixth GM in 5 years. The largest opportunities are the marina's central location to urban areas and its close proximity to Indianapolis' high income population. The company does have a threat: it has no control over slip rental rates. Those are set by the State of Indiana. It should be noted that while the Pointe, a nearby condo development, will be a source of new customers to the marina, it could lure guests away from the marina's sister-company, the Inn at Fourwinds. The Taggert Corporation (TC) owns the marina and the inn. The corporation's strategy changed from development to operational sustainability with the institution of much-needed financial controls and reporting after it became clear that operational problems were preventing the company from securing new investors. According to Sandy Taggert (1976), president of TC, "we had a lot of people up to the minister but none would say yes." Jack is expected to reverse the marina's operational losses and ensure that TC can meet its financial obligations to the state and to its investors. TC is set-up under the division organizational function, with the marina...

...(Maxine, 18-year-old mother) Teen mothers' unique perspectives on teen pregnancy can contribute much to our understanding of this issue, including family and individual experiences. In this article, teens' narratives provide insight into processes and contexts of family caregiving they received during their pregnancies as one type of resource they relied on to work toward a new and positive identity. Consistent with scholarship on identity construction, teenagers described their relationships with others as critical to this development, and attention to the processes of caregiving illuminates this connection. The stigmatized status of teen pregnancy, when viewed as a master narrative (such as that articulated by Maxine above), renders teenagers' own narratives a counter story that facilitates narrative repair. Analysis of teenagers' narratives illuminates how processes of identity transformation connect one to the care of others, empowering individuals to resist threats to a positive sense of self or a damaged identity (Nelson, 2001). In their narratives, teenagers describe largely negative initial reactions to their pregnancies, both their own and those of the individuals closest to them. These negative reactions provide the initial context for identity change and are emphasized through themes of loss and struggle. Despite these initial reactions that cause disruptions to their lives and identities...
