...Amber Reed Child psychology Parent interview Sept. 24, 2013 My mother is now 41 years old and a single mother, she had me when she was 18 she had me at a young age. My mother and father was not married but they both agreed that they were ready to have a baby. They had me out of love and was planned from my parents. It’s hard on my mother because when I was 18 years old my father passed away. Even though my parents were not together they became best friends and they still communicated with each other and raised me from two separate homes. My mother’s delivery experience was frightening because she went into labor 2 ½ months early. She had all the support she needed to make the experience better. My father, great grandmother, grandmother, great aunt, and grandfather accompanied her. My parents prepared for my homecoming by going to Lamaze class and a pre-natal class. After I was born my mother was a little depressed because she couldn’t take me home. I had to stay in the hospital for 5 extra weeks because I was a pre-mature baby weighing in at 3 pounds 2 ounces. My mother was diagnosed with separation anxiety, from my pediatrician. When I finally came home a lot changed with in my environment and with my parents. Having me made my mother more mature and very protective. By having me it made my parents closer and their relationship stronger. There was no change within friendships because my mother’s best friend still came around because she already had a daughter and my...

...Nick Torkildsen Essay #3 Professor Warner Woman in a Red Hat The poem by Gwendolyn Brooks “A woman in a Red Hat” tells the story of a black maid through the eyes of a middle class white person; Gwendolyn Brooks the author of this poem is black herself which lies great irony inside of the story. The poem was written in the 1960’s which was a time of great racism in America, it was the heat of the civil rights movement, and the way blacks in America were portrayed is often of lesser value. Having the author of this story being black is a key propent to understanding what this poem is trying to get across. The author wants you to see the way that a black person would see a middle class white American and this is what Brooks did in this poem. The poem starts with “They had never had one in the house before”. This word to this line is the word one. The way the brooks uses the word one is saying the blacks are not even seen as people in this time era. They are often throughout this poem addressed as one of them or it. This is one of the many specific prejudices that are portrayed by Brooks in this poem. Another prejudice that is portrayed by Brooks in this poem is the way that she describes the woman in vivid detail. It is important to take in the irony of this poem when reading the descriptions. Brooks is the one who wrote this poem so when she goes into the vivid detail about how the new maid is dressed or her actions she is talking about herself. Brooks says “There it stood...

...Genetically Modified Organisms Andre Thomas Soc/215 10-14-15 Dr. Melisha Plummer Genetically Modified Organisms Much has been written about genetically modified organisms. These are commonly known as GMOs. Genetically modified organisms have some positive attributes. However, GMOs also have adverse effects on animals, the environment and the health of the consumer. In order to understand why GMOs have these effects, it is important to know exactly what a GMO is and how these differ from the normal breeding farmers have done for years. The Free Dictionary defines a GMO as “An organism whose genetic characteristics have been altered using the techniques of genetic engineering.” It goes on to explain that modern science has the ability to modify the genetic makeup of plants and animals. Scientists can even transfer genes from one species to another. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/genetically+modified+organism Advocates of genetically modified organisms say that the use of the gmos could end world hunger they also say we could create plants and animals that are resistant to disease and tolerant to pesticides. They can also engineer plants to be drought resistant. They argue these changes would stop famine because the plants could naturally resist. The proponents use pathos to convince people they have the answer to world hunger. They show you pictures starving people around the world and tell you their “improved” seeds make hunger go away. Perhaps it could but the studies...

Uneven distribution of the slurry in the wire screen produced uneven sheet of paper so it is important to slosh around the mold to form a uniform thin coating. The type of material to be used is essential in drying the fibers because using glass and other materials make the fibers stick to it. Formica or felt sheet made of wool does not stick to the fiber.

...Teen Mothers Overcome Challenges Latasha Pressley ENG/147 11/02/2015 Jennifer Fielder Teen Mothers Overcome Challenges Do you remember how you were in high school? Where you mature or where you still oblivious to the hardships of life? Could you have raised a child and continued to finish your education? These are questions that teenage mothers have to answer in a very short time when they are told they are pregnant. Teen pregnancy is a topic that is a concern in many family homes all across America. The biggest issue that teen mothers encounter is the lack of encouragement and the willingness to tell them they are not fit to be good parents from almost everyone around them. Despite the many challenges teen mothers face they are capable of being good parents if they have a support system, counseling and a proper education. As a teen parent, it is merely impossible to overcome the many challenges that are faced without a strong support system. Teen parents are considered outsiders in society and are often shunned and bullied by their peers and family members. Imagine discovering you are going to be a parent in the middle of your adolescence and immediately following the news you are ridiculed by mostly everyone around. One form of support can be the support that is provided by the government. As a teen mother it is important to have medical insurance. Medical insurance is provided by the government and can help not only the baby, but also, the mother. Utilizing free...

...Activity-based costing, or ABC, is a method of assigning costs to products or services based on the resources that they consume. this is a more logical manner than the traditional approach of simply allocating costs on the basis of machine hours. Activity based costing first assigns costs to the activities that are the real cause of the overhead. It then assigns the cost of those activities only to the products that are actually demanding the activities. Activity-based costing became popular in the early 1980s largely because of growing dissatisfaction with traditional ways of allocating costs. After a strong start, however, it fell into a period of discredit. Even Robert Kaplan, a Harvard Business School professor sometimes credited with being its founding father, has admitted that it stagnated in the 1990s. The difficulty lay in translating the theory into action. Many companies were not prepared to give up their traditional cost-control mechanisms in favour of ABC. ABC is linked to Lean Practices because you are able to trace each cost of production or service to its root, which enables management to make improvements by being able to see how much is going to each and every part of the process or service. This allows you to see if you are spending too much in one area, or possibly too little. activity based costing can give management a larger view of the costs of process or service. activity analysis can highlight waste and have been used for straightforward cost reduction...

...International Financial Reporting Standards Introduction: IFRS are a set of rules developed and issued by IASB (International Accounting Standards Board) which is an independent body based in London, England. These rules will apply uniformly to financial reporting by public entities worldwide. The adoption of IFRS is widespread around the world with 120 countries requiring public corporations to adapt IFRS. Accounting standards as we know are a modern development although its traces date back 500 years. They are very important in today’s world in which the ownership and control of firm are different. The Role of Accounting Standards: Accounting standards are very important for the smooth functioning of capital markets. The managers are better informed than outside parties about the data and performance of the firm. However the outside parties control the capital which they can provide to the firm provided they rest assured about the sound quality of financials of the firm so as to ensure the safety of their capital. The more the safety, the less will be the cost of capital to the firm as the creditors and third parties will demand less rate of return. So the managers need to adhere to accounting standards and get it audited by professional auditors so as to ensure the true and fair picture of business. Hence the accounting standards dictate the allocation of capital in complex capital markets and economies. Benefits of IFRS 3.1 Countries: Different accounting standards are adapted...

...Dr. Chan Thrs 231 Jannie Or Paper1 I disagree that the best way to study religion is learning from a page from the World Almanac. The information is not accurate and not adequate when comparing the world non-Christian on a few paragraph. First, Among all those ambiguous religion questions, one of them is very difficult to answer- who is the founder of the religion? According to the informative paper: "Founder of Hinduism--The Aryan invaders" which actually in the modern history people consider that there is no single founder. However, the religion is originally established by God Himself (dharman tu sakshad bhagavat pranitam) which claimed by the ancient scriptures of India; as well, "Islam's founder is Muhammad" who is known as rasul Allah, or God's Messenger to the Arabs, and to all of humanity. In my opinion, it is very difficult to specified the founder of religion into a particular person. The sacred text is difficult to conclude in some religion. For example, Buddhism's "sacred text is the Tripitaka" however, Buddhism's sacred text might include not only The Tripitaka, the Mahayana Sutras, and the Tibetan Book of the Dead. I need to think the reason why only list The Tripitaka as Buddhism's sacred text might be it is because The Tripitaka is the most important one. Another problem is how to classified the most influential sacred text, the information is not very precisely stated. For example, the sacred text of Hinduism can...

...Hefei Sun Professor Dawn Lilley 101: Expository Writing Paper2 1st draft Feb 23th 2015 Shaping and Adapting Certain environments have the capacity of impacting one’s behavior and shaping one’s characteristic and worldview. We unconsciously conclude the theory that one’s behavior is caused by the personal background, conviction or the inherited gene. However, the surrounding environment, which we always neglect, plays a significant part of causing and forming one’s behavior. Susan Faludi, the author of “The Naked Citadel”, introduces an all-male military college called “The Citadel”. This “big bad macho school” adores the masculinity and the fourth-class system which devotes to turn the knobs to the whole man by bearing the abuse and hazing. This school is strict and orderly but has serious sex and racial discrimination which is so spread that even the administration and committee condones it. The violence and hierarchy system can be partially explained by Gladwell theories. In “The Power of Context : Bermic Goets and the Rise and Fall of New York City Crime”, Malcolm Gladwell examines the factors that shape people’s behavior and then comes up with his ideas. He argues the Power of Context Theory that context has much more impact on the behavior than we thought. According to the Broken Window Theory, people could solve the problems by changing little things in the environment. He also illustrates the “situational” view that in some specific situation, what matters more...

...Debate 1: The Industrial Revolution in England from the 18th to the 19th century was a benefit to the English working class. By: 1. Dhakshani Dharmadeva (2614) 2. Dinu Siriwardana (2971) 3. Melani Mallawarachchi (2950) The Industrial Revolution in England from the 18th to the 19th century was NOT a benefit to the English working class. Industrial revolution was a period of major industrialization that took place during the late 1700s and early 1800s. The Industrial Revolution, beginning in Great Britain, quickly spread throughout the world. This time period saw the mechanization of agriculture, textile manufacturing, a revolution in power such as steam ships and railroads, and had a massive effect on social, cultural and economic conditions. We learned that industrial production increased tremendously, bringing wealth and power to Great Britain throughout the 19th century. But it’s time to consider its effects on people, we have yet to explore the effects of industrialization on society, on the daily living and the working conditions of common people. What was life like for the average industrial worker? Was living in a new industrial city and working in a factory an improvement over life in the countryside? Did the new factory life change for the better the roles of family members, including women and children? Were people healthier? In general, did the Industrial...

...MINI-CASE: NINE DRAGONS PAPER1 The Global Recession "This time is really different. Large and small are all affected. In the past, the big waves would only wash away the sand and leave the rocks. Now the waves are so big, even some rocks are being washed away." - Cheung Yan, co founder and Chairwoman of Nine Dragons Paper2 The first week of January, 2009, was proving to be a challenge for Nine Dragon’s Paper. The company had to repeatedly deny rumors that it was on the edge of bankruptcy. A variety of media reports over the past two weeks had reported that the company’s inability to service its debt would lead to a bankruptcy filing. Incorporated in Hong Kong in 1995, Nine Dragons Paper (Holdings) Limited, had become an international powerhouse in the paper industry. The company's primary product was linerboard, with a product line including kraftlinerboard, testlinerboard and white top linerboard in a portfolio of paperboard products used to manufacture consumer product packaging. The company had expanded rapidly and spent extensively. But by January 2009 the world economy was spiraling downward. Squeezed by market conditions and burdened by debt, Nine Dragons Paper (NDP), the largest paperboard manufacturer in Asia and second largest in the world, saw its share price drop to HK$ 2.33, 90% off its high and less than half of book value. As the economic crisis of 2008 bled into 2009, export-oriented industries suffered. Rumors had been buzzing since October that NDP was on...

...Keller graduate school of management, Gm591 Mamun Chowdhury (Research question: How do differing perspectives affect out views of workforce diversity?) Introduction: Diversity relates to gender, age, language, ethnicity, cultural background, disability, sexual orientation or religious belief, including that people are different in other respects such as educational level, job function, socio-economic background, personality profile, marital status and whether or not one has family. Diversity and demographic differences can impact individual behavior by creating conflict in the workplace. The success of an organization depends on the workforce of the organization. A workforce made up of diverse individuals from different backgrounds can bring the best talent to an organization. Today, there are more and more ethnic people joining the workforce of the United States. Since the United States is considered the land of opportunity, more people from different backgrounds have migrated to our country over the past 100+ years to obtain work. Now, due to an increase in globalization and companies becoming more diverse, we are seeing even more people of ethnic backgrounds relocating to the United States for opportunities. With the increase in education, this is bringing forth many individuals of whom tend to have a great deal of input into organizations that otherwise would not have happened. These individuals bring a vast array...
