...Avoiding Sibling Rivalry After Birth By Dave Ouma Mar 12, 2012 After all the pain of going through pregnancy and birth, there finally comes a time when a mother has to take her child home to meet her new brothers and sisters. Many mothers feel confused as they do not really know who to create a fuss over. Do they fuss over the new child or do they fuss over an older child? The best way for a mother to get around this situation is to preplan for the arrival of the new baby at home. If possible, the mother should have another adult at home to hold the new baby so that you can give the other child some much needed attention. If a mother notices that the older child seems to be very interested with the new child, a mother should help him to get a closer glimpse of the baby. Typically, the older child will automatically start comparing how big he is and how tiny the new born baby is. If by any chance the older child does appear to be interested with the new baby, do not be overwhelmed. He may just need some time to adjust to the new brother or sister. Also if the new born baby is fast asleep he may not generate much interest for the older child. It may be a good idea as well to give the older child a gift when he or she initially meets...

...emotional, intellectual, and rational mindset and ultimately your morals would decipher what your next action is. 4. Oppression, according to Marilyn Frye: Oppression is defined as unjust treatment or no control. Marilyn Frye describes oppression as “a system of interrelated barriers and forces which reduce, immobilize, and mold people who belong to a certain group and effect their subordination to another group”. Frye believed people were limited and many times less than free. There have been many examples in history of oppression. A clear example would be when certain societies look at women as property. There, the women are oppressed. 5. Hard Determinism vs. Compatibilism: Hard determinism is the belief that a universal cause law preplans every human action for a reason. Free will is not an option in hard determinism. Many philosophers, like Sigmund Freud, believed in hard determinism. In opposition to hard determinism was soft determinism, otherwise known as compatibilism. Compatibilism is the belief that free will and determinism can be compatible. Cause and freedom can affect our human actions. An example of hard determinism vs. compatibilism would be in many court cases when the verdict of the criminal sentence is decided. When criminals claim their actions were out of their control and instead of jail time they get psychiatric help. 6. Virtue for Aristotle: Aristotle believed a virtuous person would be someone with morals represented through their character traits...

Ask the security guy at the desk to direct you. I believe its room 246 or 248? The security guy will direct you. Once in the room ask for Mrs. Hammer, and she will give you a book to sign in. **If she is not there, ask a teacher sitting at any desk (tell them you are from university instructors, and they will direct you to her desk and where to sign in for University Instructors). They are really nice people. After signing in you will go to room 258 at 10:40, a teacher will be in the classroom. You will do this routine every day you are there. The lesson: The teachers preplan lessons for all of the Algebra students (meaning they have a topic already set to teach the Algebra students (which is my/your job)). I do not know the topic to teach until the day of class. Don’t freak out its not as bad as it sounds. Once you get the topic the students will work on it for two days. After you do a quick 2-5 min lesson they will go to tenmarks.com and to the topic (TOPIC: E to complete). If they still don’t understand how to do the problems have them watch the video on tenmarks,com (some students that are struggling I work one on one with them). THEY HAVE TO SCORE 70% or BETTER FOR THEM TO MOVE TO THE WORKSHEETS. Some students will lie about their grades so you have to check it off to make sure its above 70%. Once they...

Both individuals understand the hardship of starting out and making yourself marketable in the corporate world. Now that their eldest son is in college, and they have seen how hard it was for him to get summer jobs and student work studies, they want to make the path a bit easier for their younger children. Their hope is to start a small business that will eventually become a family affair. This business will help the community as well as allow their children to have summer work growing up and instill in them the entrepreneurial spirit. As part of working class America, Sherdon and Anissa do not have a lot of income at their disposal. They will be investing all of their savings into this business, therefore, proper planning is a must. The business that they have decided to open is an employment agency.

...Troy Jacobs 4-21-2014 Abstract When the topic of death arises many people like to avoid the discussion, hence the number of people that don’t preplan their funeral and death plans. Regardless of whether we want to plan or not death is always 100% sure when its time. No human being has lived forever and for humans death is a part of life. Death comes in many different forms, but in the end all of these different forms still lead to only one thing death. Ethically there are two topics that always get everyone talking and is always a hot topic of debate. These two things are the ethical issues between natural death and physician-assisted death. These two forms of death both have supporters that back them and have valid reasons why they support either of the two. Throughout this essay the pros and cons of each will be discussed. Most humans don’t like the thought of death and tend to not want to discuss it because death is the end of the natural human life. Throughout history death has always been final and the thought of death scares many people. The way that some people die scares many people even more. Two ways that many people die are through natural death and physician-assisted death. These two topics come with a fair share of ethical issues that many people are for and against. Natural death occurs naturally and by naturally it means that there were no other things that contributed to the death of a person. No physician helped with the process and the human just died...

...(ICS) ICS provides a standardized incident response preplanning that is on-scene and caters for all hazards. ICS is based on a flexible and scalable response to hazards that can expand or contract as the need arises. At the scene of the incident, responders may come from multiple agencies that do not normally work together but can work efficiently due to the standardization of ICS (Porter 21). There are two classifications of ICS activities. These are incident and events. Incidents are the unplanned situations that necessitate response from various parties. Incidences include terrorism, natural disasters, and hazardous material spills. On the other hand, events are planned situations. Events require the emergency responders to preplan how to respond to emergencies. Some examples of events include parades, inaugurations, parties, concerts, and other state fairs. In ICS, all individuals participating in the operations report to only one supervisor. This helps in eliminating conflicting orders to the individuals (Porter 21). This greatly aids in improving the efficiency of the activities especially if the emergency responders have to expand them. Main Components of NIMS Preparedness Effective emergency management activities should have preparedness activities that are continuously undertaken prior to any potential incident. NIMS focus on five elements of preparedness: “planning; procedures and protocols; training and exercises; personnel, qualification, licensure...

...Discipline as an integral part of effective supervision 1. Discipline in terms of supervision In terms of supervision, discipline must be referred to as a set of instructions given to the subordinate employee. It makes the subordinates learn all the instructions, which are required in order to provide successful work performance. The inability to follow such instructions results in certain “penalties” for the individual. Each organization has its own disciplinary code aimed to maintain the order within the organization. Discipline may be analyzed as the attempt to model the conduct of the subordinates in accordance with the peculiarity of a given organization. It actually shapes the behavior which is considered to be acceptable by the supervisors. Improper professional conduct may result in various negative consequences especially when it deals with police supervision as misconduct may lead even to death. Discipline in terms of effective police supervision is achieved through coaching, mentoring and counseling of subordinates and is controlled through a set of penalties. The major task of the supervisory discipline is to form the subordinate’s self-discipline and therefore secure the work process (Ianonne, 2000). All the disciplinary procedures used to reinforce the importance of the disciplinary code of the given organization deal with making the individual committed to a certain type of actions during his work hours. Discipline also plays an essential role in the formation...

...Briefing on 2T2X1 Air Transportation In Operation Iraqi Freedom, there were more than 300,000 people deployed to Southwest Asia to support the operation. The majority of them flew over on AMC or AMC contracted aircraft. It was the Aerial Port that put those passengers and equipment on the right aircraft and ensured that the movement was safe. Good morning ladies and gentlemen, my name is TSgt James and im going to be giving you an informational speech on the 2T2 Air Transportation career field. I will be talking to you about the Air Transportation career field (such as; passenger service and cargo processing), Airlift (such as; the users and our responsibilities), Rapid Global Mobility (such as; responding to a crisis and supporting a crisis), and Force Protection and counter chemical warfare (such as; passenger terminal security and decontaminating cargo). Let’s first take a look at the passenger service aspect of the Air Transportation career field. Passenger service agents review passenger travel authorizations for validity and accuracy. They check in passengers, process, schedule, transport, and escort passengers to and from the aircraft. They will establish procedures for passenger and aircraft clearance through international border clearance agencies. Review border clearance requirements and procedures for the US, its territories and possessions and foreign border clearance. Also, they will operate terminal security equipment, and conduct passenger...

...Effective Communication in Crisis Holly L. Clerkin HCS/320 Abstract Today, you are the director of a regional Emergency Management Office. You begin receiving official reports that the public water supplies of several towns in the area have become contaminated with a life-threatening biological agent. Contingency plans must be addressed within the organization and with the public without creating a panic. The following paper is my plan of action. Effective Communication in Crisis It is absolutely essential, pre-crisis, to establish notification systems that will allow you to rapidly reach your intended audience using multiple modalities. The Virginia Tech campus shooting catastrophe, where email was the sole means of alerting students initially, proves that using any single modality can make a crisis worse. Some of us may be on email constantly, others not so. Some of us receive our cellphone calls or messages quickly, some not. If you use more than one modality to reach your stakeholders, the chances are much greater that the message will go through. (Bernstein, 2013) To have effective communication in time of crisis, our organization has implemented plans that allow us to effectively deal with the situation, the media and those that are effected. With the use of all forms of media, as well as documented known conditions we hold a strong belief that we can correct this current situation. It has come to the attention of the county and this office of the Emergency...

...Should the NFL Expand into Mexico? The NFL generates roughly $9.2 billion in revenue each year (Boudway 2014), but like most American companies it must find a way to expand its brand internationally. All thirty two of the NFL’s teams currently operate within the United States, though three games a year are played at Wembley Stadium in London, UK. Expanding football globally presents a challenge to the NFL because the game is not widely played throughout the world. While its television contracts of $7 million per year (Kottasova 2014) remain the world’s most lucrative, interest and participation outside the United States is much smaller than other sports. While it is agreed upon that the NFL needs to expand globally to continue to grow its business, they are presented with several options as to how to accomplish this. The current arrangement of playing several games a year overseas has been in place since 2007, and the NFL seems content to continue this practice. Some believe that the NFL ultimately wants to permanently move a franchise to a foreign country, with London, Toronto, and Mexico City being discussed as potential destinations. Despite last playing a game in Mexico City in 2005, the city presents an intriguing variety of opportunities and threats to the NFL. I believe that these threats outweigh the opportunities and the NFL should look into alternative strategies to capitalize on the growth of the Hispanic market. Like many American companies, the NFL would...

...Professional Presence and Influence - YOT Task 1 Model of Health and Healing Mind- Body-The second era of medicine according to Dr. Dossey (n.d), from approximately 1950 to 1990, focuses on the discovery that one’s mental ailments are related to physical ailments. In this era the practitioners combined the treatment of conditions outside of obvious injuries and subjective information, unlike in the previous era which didn’t include the idea that the mind effects the body. In era II alternative treatments like hypnosis, biofeedback, relaxation techniques, imagery and counseling began to be incorporated into the treatment of the whole body. Mind -Body- Spirit-This is the third era, where Dr. Dossey (n.d.) proposes that consciousness is not limited to a being’s body. He suggests that an individual’s actions and intentions not only affects his or her own body but may also have an impact on that of another, at a distance, even though that other person is not cognizant of the effort (Dossey, n.d.). This awareness of intrapersonal relationships stands in contrast to past medical practices in that it now takes into account the influences outside of the patient and becomes an important part of treatment and outcome. With this knowledge, practitioners began to see the wholeness of human beings and the importance of treating body, mind and spirit. With the recognition that one’s community or cultural society has an impact on a person’s health, practitioners now have the additional...

...Local Law Enforcement Response to Terrorism Student Course Number and Name Instructor Date Abstract The synchronization of the different levels of response agencies is vital to the national effort against terrorism because when incidents cross disciplinary or jurisdictional boundaries, or if they are complex in nature, coordination of activities is important to ensuring an effective and efficient response to containing, controlling, and resolving the incident. However, when incidents do strike, local law enforcement personnel are the first responders on the scene. The Boston Marathon bombing incident was a demonstration of how local law enforcement worked with state and federal law enforcement to coordinate the clearing of the scenes and location of the perpetrators. Since the terrorism incident that occurred on September 11, 2001, city leaders across the United States have assumed greater roles of responsibility in homeland security (Downing, 2009). This new responsibility has brought with it issues and practical challenges that city leaders and policymakers are confronted with during times of crisis that necessitate the securing of their communities. Although assistance comes from a variety of sources during emergency events, it is critical that local leaders are endowed with the knowledge to aid them in meeting the terrorism challenges that could occur not just now, but also in the future. Presented in this paper is information that local leaders can employ to ensure...

...* Assisted Suicide * Jabarri Moore * COM/172 March 31, 2014 Cassandra Baker Assisted Suicide Patients suffering from debilitating diseases and living in agonizing pain should have the right to end their life without government interference because the constitution states that all American is entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The State Government and the Federal Government will end an individuals’ life if murder is committed to innocent children or to law enforcement personnel. Then when it comes to an individual who has not committed a violent crime and wants to end their life on their due to medical sufferance, the government chooses not to intervene on behalf of the person unless to punish the act in its entirety (Avila, 2000).
