...7 Signs You May Need a Responsibility Makeover Erica Hopkins GEN 200 03/02/14 Dr. Crystal Sears 7 Signs You May Need a Responsibility Makeover I believe that not everyone knows about personal responsibility. It should not be looked upon as a handicap, but as one area within everyone that can be developed. Once developed, personal responsibility can contribute to life achievements, goals obtained, and more sense of control over one’s own life. This is great because I think there are a few basic things to look for in your life to identify if you are someone who could really use a good look at yourself. Read on to find to if you can identify with any of the following signs. Do you need a responsibility makeover? Theodore Roosevelt once said “If you could kick the person in the pants responsible for most of your trouble, you wouldn't sit for a month.” Good Reads (2014) He certainly would be one who would know a great deal about personal responsibility. Theodore Roosevelt was a president that achieved a great deal during his time. Despite having a few health conditions, including asthma which was considered quite a deadly illness in the mid 1800’s, he created his own exercise routine that is said to have been pretty difficult and included both weightlifting and boxing. Bio True Story (2013) The seventh sign that you may need a personal responsibility makeover is you constantly complain about your job, but do nothing to better your employment situation. So many people...

...The title “The Chrysalids” signifies that it is a novel about change. The word “chrysalid” is related to the word “chrysalis”, which means “the form which butterflies, moths, and most other insects assume when they change from the state of larva or caterpillar and before they arrive at their winged or perfect state”. Or in simpler terms, it is the state where the caterpillar does most, if not all, of its change into a butterfly. Change can happen anywhere, whether it be in a physical form, such as the caterpillar turning into a butterfly, or evolution of entire species; a mental state, for instance a deeper comprehension of an emotion, or an education towards acceptance and understanding; or in a social environment, for example the abolishment of slavery and the non-discriminatory laws. Change is almost inevitable, fore it is the driving force of life. With out change life could not adapt to its surroundings and survive. If change were to stop, then life would become meaningless. The Earth would be the same if there was life with no change, than if there was no life at all. Generally when people ponder about the notion change, they think about a process where a thing transforms into a better version of itself. While change is usually associated with evolution, it can sometimes be the complete opposite. Change can happen for the worse, though it is seldom seen. With life comes change, and though in The Chrysalids some change is not for the better, character, environment...

Corns start forming due to wearing shoes that are too small For us, high heel shoe and shoes with hard soles are not very good for our feet. Women are renowned for squeezing their Feet into shoes that are too tight and too high, you can also get corns through standing for long periods of time, Increased friction and pressure on the feet is not good for us. as the skin starts to get thicker on the soles of our feet or hands it hardens up to form a callus or corn, the small toe is susceptible to getting a corn ! Maybe!! Because the toe gets squashed while our feet are in the shoes. Some people opt for surgery to remove these; as some corns can get very big and are very painful to walk on. A corn is a small area of skin that has become thicker over time due to the constant pressure on the feet. You have two kinds of corns, Hard corns commonly occur on the dorsum of the interphalangeal joints of the toes on the planter surface of the foot beneath the matartarsal heads.

Keeping the nails trimmed with straight cuts can prevent the condition. Baby ingrown toenails are common on the big toe.

...this.[6] Vujicic prayed that God would give him arms and legs and initially told God that, if his prayer remained unanswered, he would stop praising him indefinitely. However, a key turning point in his faith came around when his mother showed him a newspaper article about a man dealing with a severe disability. Vujicic realized he was not unique in his struggles and began to embrace his lack of limbs.[7] After this, he realized that his accomplishments could inspire others and became grateful for his life.[8] Vujicic gradually figured out how to live a full life without limbs, adapting many of the daily skills limbed people accomplish without thinking. He writes with two toes on his left foot and a special grip that slides onto his big toe. He knows how to use...

...1. I do have siblings, two older brothers one being thirty-two and another twenty-four. Luckily so far no one has been seriously hurt but my older brother Jeff dropped a big cabinet on his big toe while working at bed bath and beyond. He ended up shattering his toe nail in half and breaking his toe he couldn’t go back to work till three or four weeks later. My other brother ended up in the hospital for feeling light headed. They did a bunch of tests and three days later we found out the right side of his brain is underdeveloped and has to be careful not to over work himself. I’m not sure if I see an unreliable narrator or not. Sure we see a younger kid seeing his brother and father figure in the hospital practically dead. He might be making these occurrences up to help deal with this serious event he has just witnessed. “My father and I kept notes, neither of us aware that the other was doing it, trying to get down all of worth’s little disclosures before they faded” (Sullivan 49). By recording conversations he is having with his brother that also leads me to believe in a reliable narrator. 2. The two quotes that ended up standing out to me were “The upper one was still above the waterline” (81). “Gone” (82). It’s hard to image the water line being in your house. Your place of comfort and shelter just taking form you or from the other quote gone. Gives me chills just reading it, gone once something was there and now it’s not. The situation at the end is what I think is the...

...SUBCULTURES AND STYLE Here I am going to be discussing design through subcultures mainly focusing on Punk and Skinheads and the design of a Dr Marten boot displayed in the Museum of London. Between the years of 1945 and 1985 right after World War 2 there was a lot of changes in how different people grouped themselves in cultures and styles. People formed an almost cult of whom had interests and views which where similar and showed this by making a some what territory of a certain street or area. This was called a subculture. Teddy Boys originated around the 1950’s after World War 2 when there was no longer a uniform had to be worn; it was a way to rebel against it. The style was more common among the wealthier society who could afford smart clothing; they were often associated with American rock. Next came Mod’s, they were all about pure style, dressing smart and sharp with bold haircuts. Around the same time rockers and the grunge style was popular which caused a lot of controversy with the Mod’s and the Grunge scene and known to fight frequently. In the 1960s skinheads formed from an influence of Jamaican rude boys who were known for the edge and anti mainstream desire. Skinheads were all about being cool, known to wear doc martins and have very short-shaved heads, even the girls. Later on in the 80s this culture rose again but this group were much more racist and violent than the original skinheads. Influenced by mod’s then came the soul boy in the 1970s, known...

...Gisteraand, terwyl ek heerlik op die rusbank lê en ‘n boek lees, in 'n huis so stil soos 'n graf, was my aandag afgelei deur 'n vreemde geluid in die nag. Dit was 'n harde gedruis soos donderweer of 'n groot vragmotor. Ek was nie seker wat dit was nie, 'n lae, harde gerommel soos wanneer 'n vliegtuig oor die huis vleig, maar in plaas van dat die klank wegraak soos gewoonlik, het dit geklink asof die vliegtuig direk bokant my sweef en toe net dood stil. Dit was vreemd en ek het terug gegaan na lees. 'n Paar minute later, het ek dit weer gehoor ... dieselfde harde gerommel en skielike stilte. Reg, so nou dink ek, dit is regtig vreemd. Ek hardloop toe na die agterdeur, maak dit oop en luister net. Alles was stil, ek hoor net die snelweg se normale swhoosh in die verte, niks ongewoon nie. Teen nou het ek geweet, ek het nie 'n vragmotor of donderweer gehoor nie. Toe begin die rommel weer. Hierdie keer was ek gereed vir dit. Ek kyk in die lug ... en sien ... niks, geen ligte .... niks ... ek hoor net die vreemde geluid in die nag. Vandag het ek gevra of iemand iets vreemds gehoor het gisteraand en twee van my mede-leerders, wat naby my bly, het dit ook gehoor en was net net so stom geslaan soos ek. Hulle beskryf die geluid net soos ek dit gehoor het - vreemd. Miskien is ek net laf en ek is seker daar is 'n eenvoudige verduideliking, reg? Dit is goed om te weet ek is nie alleen nie ... of is...

...DIE WEEK WAT ALLES VERANDER HET Die meeste Christengelowiges herdenk die gebeure gewoonlik van die Vrydag af. Goeie Vrydag noem hulle dit. Maar in werklikheid het dit oorspronklik reeds die Woensdag gebeur. Nie dat dit soveel saak maak nie, want dit is mos maar net 'n dag waarop ons dieselfde gebeure herdenk. En dit is immers die gebeure waaroor dit alles gaan... Hierdie week bied volgelinge van Jesus die Christus oor die wêreld net weer die geleentheid en voorreg om saam met ander familielede en ander Christengelowiges stil te word rondom 'n week se gebeure in Jesus se lewe wat elkeen van ons se lewens verander het. Eintlik het dit die totale geskiedenis van die hele wêreld verander, al verstaan sowat twee-derdes van die wêreld se bevolking dit nog nie. DIE SONDAG Voor ek met jou gesels oor daardie Woensdag se gebeure, kom ons begin in ons nadenke reeds by die Sondag se gebeure. Palmsondag, soos daarna in die kerklike wêreld verwys word. Dit was die dag waarvan Lukas 19 en Johannes 12:12 en verder ons vertel. Jesus het Jerusalem, die stad van koning Dawid, binnegery op 'n donkie. Soos voor 'n koning van destyds, het die skare klere en palmtakke voor hom neergegooi om aan Hom eer te betoon as die koning uit die geslag van Dawid. Alles presies soos die profesieë - soos Sag. 9:9 en Dan. 9:25 -27 - eeue tevore voorspel het sou gebeur. Volgens Eksodus 12 moes die lam vir die Pasga wat later die week gevier sou word, gekies word op die tiende van die eerste maand...

Course: Careers & Organizations Student: Isabelle van den Tol Studentnumber: 2509606 Contact: i.vandentol@student.vu.nl Coordinators: Prof. dr. Svetlana Khapova & Dr. Sylvia van de Bunt Datum: October 19th, 2015 MEANINGFUL WORK: EXPLORING BARRIERS INTERVENING AS WELL AS FACTORS ENHANCING EMPLOYEES’ ENGAGEMENT IN MEANINGFUL WORK. ISABELLE VAN DEN TOL 2509606 Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam Through interviews and literary findings, a qualitative case study has been done to enrich the theory about the factors enhancing and barriers intervening meaningful work. For this case study two interviews were conducted. Together with the literary findings several findings became apparent. There were three sources found that enhance the meaning of work, being: the self, the others and the work context. There were also several constraints found that are intervening the meaning of work. These constraints were the individualism within the jobs, the communication within the management team and the organizational pressure of being as efficient and effective as possible. These constraints together formed the barriers, which has a negative effect on the meaning of work. These findings were then discussed and concluded. Implications of the findings (e.g. limited amount of data) for both theory and practice are discussed. The area around Human Resource...

...met die heropbou van Europa na die TWO en die ontwikkeling van onderontwikkelde lande. Die bank het lenings toegestaan aan regerings van die dag om hulle infrastruktuur te herstel en uit te brei ten einde produktiewe uitset in die ekonomie te kan verhoog (Konkel, 2014: 277). Met die groot bedrae geld wat in 1948 deur die Marshall Plan aan lande verskaf is, was Die Wêreldbank nie nodig vir rekonstruksie nie, en het die bank begin fokus op sy ontwikkelingsdoelstelling deur produksie in onderontwikkelde lande te verhoog. Die konsensus was dat die ekonomiese voordele van verhoogde produksie in onderontwikkelde lande sal afsyfer en armoede sal bekamp (Alacevich, 2009: 2). Die Wêreldbank het deurentyd egter gefokus om “konserwatiewe lenings” toe te staan en het weggeskram van ekonomiese oordragte (transfers) en fasiliteite. Hierdie is was gedoen om beleggersvertroue in die bank te behou en te verseker dat die bank in die ope mark fondse kan verkry (Konkel, 2014: 282). Eers in 1960 het die instelling die Internasionale Ontwikkelingsagentskap geskep om aan die armste lande (wat nie kredietwaardig genoeg is vir IBRD lenings nie) finansiering te verskaf in die vorm van “krediete” en subsidies....

...Evaluatie Naam: Wolbrand van der Vis Studentennummer: 500602914 Studie: Bouwtechnische Bedrijfskunde Klas: Groep i 1. Welke vastgoedkennis heb ik met deze opdracht opgedaan? In het begin toen ik eenmaal doorhad wat de opdracht inhield, wist ik nou niet wat ik hier nou zoveel wijzer van moest worden. Twee stadsdeelkantoren verlaten en naar een (1) nieuwe locatie verhuizen. Als je het snel zegt klinkt het erg simpel. Er kwam daarentegen veel bij kijken. Ik moest analyses maken. Ik moest op onderzoek uit gaan. Ik moest opdrachten maken. Ik moest boeken bestuderen. Ik moest met mijn bevindingen gaan vergaderen met mijn groepje. Ik moest nadenken over herbestemmingen. Ik moest lessen volgen van zowel projectondersteuning als vastgoedeconomie om het begrijpen. Al deze dingen bij elkaar genomen kan ik zeker stellen dat mijn vastgoedkennis verbeterd is. Je begint bij een opleiding omdat daar je interesses liggen, maar hebt eigenlijk geen idee wat het inhoud. Afkopen van huurcontracten, waarom eigenlijk? Herbestemmen, hoe werkt dat? Op dit soort vragen kan ik nu antwoord geven. Het leuke van zo’n project als deze, dat ieder voor zich in de projectgroep andere bevinden heeft en die dan gaat uitwisselen tijdens de verschillende vergaderingen die we hebben gehad. Je leert daardoor de kennis van vastgoed ook van elkaar en niet alleen van de boeken of van de opdrachten die ik bestudeerd en gemaakt heb. 2. De probleemstellingen van dit project was: * Wat zijn...

...van sy nuwe roman Die Swye van Mario Salviati in Port Elizabeth gemaak het. Etienne sê hy het dikwels in sy lewe op afgesonderde plekke soos Grahamstad gewoon. “In afgesonderde gemeenskappe is die mense aangewese op mekaar. Dit skep en prepetueer dikwels eksentrisiteite wat dit energie en sjarme gee” Hy skep so ‘n gemeenskap vol kleurryke eksentrieke karakters op Tallejare, die afgesonderde dorpie in ‘n ongedefïnieerde klipperige, droë landskap wat “so effens op die hittegolwe dryf”, sê hy. ‘n Moordenaarskaroo met ‘n volstruispaleis wat hom nie op ‘n landkaart wil plaas nie, “dit sal die geheimsinnigheid daaruit neem” Van Heerden beskryf sy boek as sy “Italiaanse boek”. Dit het ontstaan op ‘n oggend op die wynplaas Meerlust in 1998 toe hy met vriende gesit en gedigte lees en gesels het. Die wynmaker op Meerlust is ‘n nasaat van een van die Italiaanse krysgevangenes wat in die Tweede Wêreldoorlog na Suid-Afrika gekom het. Iets tasbaar wat Van Heerden uit sy kinderdae onthou wat daarmee verband hou ‘n leergordel wat so ‘n krysgevangene op hul plaas vir sy pa gevelg het het hy ineengevleg met vyf liefdesverhale. Kunstenaarskap en die verhouding met strukture beskryf hy as die belangrikste tema in die boek.
