...THE MASTER SCHEDULE Any plan to schedule time and activities must have at its center a MASTER SCHEDULE, that is, a schedule of activities that is fixed. A master schedule needs to be drawn up only once a semester: unless, of course, changes occur in the basic program. First, fill in all the required activities, such as classes, drills, and laboratory periods. Second , add other regular activities, such as part-time jobs, commuting time, sports, and regular meetings. Third, include sleeping and eating. With the fixed activities accounted for, the remaining blank spaces on the uncluttered chart are free for use on a weekly or day-by-day basis. Such a schedule, on a 5x8 card, scotch-taped over your desk, or carried in your notebook, unclutters your mind, and more important, enables you to visualize the blank boxes as actual blocks of time into which you may fit necessary activities (see example below). With the MASTER SCHEDULE as your source, you may concoct any type of schedule that fits the uniqueness of your courses, your part-time or full-time job, or your personality. What matters most is that the schedule works for you.

DOING WHAT YOU CAN TO FEEL YOUR BEST Everyone can benefit from learning what to do to be healthy. Young people in foster care have a lot of stressful things to deal with in their lives. Often they hurt a lot inside. Sometimes their coping skills are overwhelmed. They may need extra help in figuring out how to handle their feelings and improve their health. Teens who are sad or angry may feel better if they talk to someone they trust, do a favorite hobby, or exercise or play sports. Youth who feel really bad or act in unexpected ways often need help and support from other people. Sometimes, they need therapy and/or medication that can help them control their emotions and behaviors. When you’re hurt, there are often several things you can do to feel better. Imagine you fall and hurt your ankle—you can take a pain reliever, avoid walking on it, and/or apply ice. In the same way, when you hurt a lot inside, you can take medication, avoid activities that make the condition worse, and/or look for positive activities that help you balance your feelings.

...ASSESMENT 1 - Authentic Tasks Report On Andragogy For Human Resource Manager At Google Nathan Puljic 07/04/2014 4057624 Executive Summary Within this report I will be covering the basis of adult learning, other wise known as andragogy. It will be based upon me recently working in a HR graduate position at the Google office in Sydney. I will be covering what andragogy actually means and the types of principles of learning that are suggested by this theory by Malcolm Knowles. Then I shall be writing suggestions on how the Google training manager could use the principles of the theory andragogy in skills training at Google, on the principles they have yet to introduce in their training. Finally I will list four references that I will recommend to the HR manager at Google that I found gave me a better understanding of andragogy. Introduction Learning is "a relatively permanent change in behaviour (or behaviour potential) resulting from one's experiences" (Delahaye, 2011: 31). When adults are learning, we call this andragogy. As we already should know, adults learn vastly different to how children learn (pedagogy). There are many key differences in the learning department when comparing children to adults, such as instead of asking what, adults would ask why. Andragogy is a theory that holds a set of assumptions about how adults learn...

...Organizational Culture in the Workplace Organizational Culture in the Workplace PSYCH-570/Organizational Psychology March 18, 2012 Organizational Culture in the Workplace Organizational culture is as important to the public sector as it is to the private sector in business organizations. In a fast changing environment and continuing insights into organizational effectiveness, organizations, are seriously rethinking what and how they can best delineate and accomplish their goals and objectives (Peters & Waterman, 1982). Peters and Waterman (1982) suggest when goals are elucidated; there is a necessity to pontificate the type of culture that is needed to accelerate the goals and objectives and to guarantee that implemented changes are successful. The intention of this paper is to analyze the effects of organizational culture on organizational development and change. To allow one to grasp the concept of organizational culture Team A will give the description of Southwest Airlines, including the organization’s philosophy, mission, vision, values, and structure, an analysis of the relationship between the design and Southwest Airlines and its organizational culture, and the effects of organizational culture on Southwest Airlines workforce will be reviewed. An evaluation of the effects of change within Southwest Airlines will also be discussed. Description of Southwest Airlines Southwest Airlines is an airline that provides many services in different destinations...

...COMM 89 Theory Paper Purpose: Evaluate the utility of an academic theory by examining its applications to everyday life. Enhance your ability to understand academic theory as explained by an outside source and to apply theoretical concepts with organization and clarity. Demonstrate original thought in analysis of utility. Preparation: 1. Choose an episode from your life. Choose one of the two following types of brief (1-3 minutes) real life communicative episodes (any communication interaction between 2 or more individuals). Do NOT attempt to use a movie scene. a) First-hand experience: an incident in which you met and/or communicated with someone. b) Observed episode: an incident in which you witnessed 2 or more others communicating. 2. Select a theory from those on the schedule prior to the midterm. Choose one that will help you understand your communicative episode and that might also be beneficial for understanding your future communication interaction. 3. Find at least one main academic source (NOT your textbook or lecture notes) that explains the theory. This main source must be published and will most likely to be either a chapter in an edited book or a journal article that provides a thorough explanation of the theory. A journal article with an experimental study is unlikely to provide a thorough explanation of the theory, but is a very useful additional source for discussing the utility of the theory. (Use these in your utility section.) Your textbook and...

...racticeBriefing Notes: Best Practices in Professional Development Introduction A firm interested in increasing its employees’ skills and competencies while deepening their employees’ commitment to the organization should c onsider three interventions: the nature of the job, formal training and the mentoring/co aching process. This paper on best practices outlines the issues firms fa ce in developing programs in these three areas and disc usses which practices, program designs or methods firms should take up in response to these issues. The Job Research in firms suggests that younger professionals are drawn to two different kinds of firms: the firm with a great reputation in the field, and the smaller, often less reputable, firms that offer younger people a broader range of opportunities. They usually favor the former when they regard their first or secon d job as a way station to a longer-term career in another company or setting and want to garner the “halo” effect of having worked at a great firm. This phenomenon o c curs in other professional services as well. For example, many consultants are happy to go to M cKinsey for their first five years of employment even though the prospect of becoming a partner and then a director are quite limited, and the work itself is extremely taxing. Many firms, however, cannot rely exclusively on the limited supply of skills within the firm to create opportunities for learning and growth. Therefore, these firms must...

...[1] With the “Profile,” each user can manipulate his or her online identity that concurrently delineates personal information and converses with other online identities or “Friends.” Gender, date of birth, hobbies, interests, and relationship status are some of the identifying pieces of information that users display to fill out their Profile. The Profile not only depicts the user, but also shapes the representation of other individuals on Facebook. Scholars have recently begun to study the Facebook phenomenon using surveys and statistical analyses, but none have used ethnography as a means for analysis. This paper draws upon ethnographic data to provide a phenomenological explanation to the Facebook experience. It argues that the digital world is a large part of the experience of young Americans and that the Internet is more social than commonly thought.[2] Moreover, this paper problematizes the static nature of the Profile, arguing that the Profile converses directly with others’ Profiles in a constantly changing digital context that is simultaneously recreated and interpreted. Introduction Embodied conversation between individuals begins when they weave performance and interpretation into an intricate dance that allows individuals to consider voice and body cues. Meaning is interpreted from the context of the conversation and nuances of body and gesture.[3] However, embodied conversation differs from computer-mediated communication, where individuals must write themselves...

...ARISTOTLE'S POLIS: NATURE, HAPPINESS, AND FREEDOh1 Ideologists of all stripes seem to have difficulty dealing with t h e foundations of what is loosely called the ""Western tradition," t h a t is, the body of knowledge that has come down to us from Athens a n d Jerusalem. Of course, these days Jerusalem is simply ignored. T h e classical tradition, however, must be dealt with. Yet it is frequently so transfigured that what emerges is what the ideologist wishes u s t o see, rather than what is these. The most ambitious attempt at this sort of thing by a 'Yiberal" ideologist is Eric A. Havelock's T h e Liberal Temper in Greek Politics.' More recently and on a smaller scale, Fred Miller has, in the pages of this journal, interpreted one aspect of the classical tradition from the standpoint of "~ibertarianY' political theory, in his essay "The State and the Community in Aristotle's Polieics. "' This curious attempt to defend the "libertarianism9' of Lykophron and Mippodamus3 against Aristotle's '6ppaternalism9'is a daring, if ill-conceived, enterprise. In Miller's presentation, Aristotle seems t o emerge as a villain who misunderstand the enlightened political thought of the Greek "libertarians" and, we are to infer, derails subsequent political thought in the name of "'paternalism." Fundamental to Miller's reading of the Politics is the idea t h a t there is a distinction between ""cmmunity" and "'state" that Aristotle confuses in his use of golis. He argues that...

...it is through the use of leadership the culture of the organization is passed to employees and the customers it serves. Diversity is another important factor of culture as having a diverse group allows for a variety of ideas to ensure innovation. Kapoor (2011) found it difficult to provide a clear definition of diversity, however she made clear the importance of remembering the cultural context of the organization and the society within which the organization exists to be prevalent (p. 290). In today’s society, diversity is a main issue within organizations. With the existence of global awareness and relationships companies must embrace diversity in order to have a competitive advantage and promote healthy cultures. In addition, this paper will discuss a few leadership theories and the relationship to organizational culture as well as other key components...

...Milestone One: Rule-oriented Games (Physical Domain) Section A: Knowledge of the Developmental Milestones During middle childhood, children’s play undergoes several changes, the most obvious of which is children engage in games with rules. These rule-oriented games include informally organized games as well as formally organized sports, such as little league, club or intramural sports. The former category may be variants on popular sports games, well-known childhood games such as red rover, and invented games that children develop on their own. The principal commonality is that these games have a set of rules and often have multiple roles for players. While informal outdoor play allows children to develop rules and try out multiple scenarios, formal, organized sports allows children to learn rules, appreciate their personal skills, and develop their position on a team. Both types of rule-oriented games are important for developing social competencies and enhanced cognitive capabilities. This milestone develops as children begin to develop more improved motor coordination, a better capacity for information processing, and a heightened social maturity (Berk, 2007, p. 294). The physical skills at play in rule-oriented games include flexibility, balance, agility, and force, reflective of increased muscle strength. All four of these are basic motor capacities which become more refined with the gross motor development of middle childhood. Additionally, children’s enhanced capacity...

...Copyright © eContent Management Pty Ltd. Health Sociology Review (2010) 19(4): 437–450. Embodying the gay self: Body image, reflexivity and embodied identity DUANE DUNCAN Australian Research Centre in Sex, Health and Society, La Trobe University, Melbourne, VIC, Australia ABSTRACT The emphasis on a sexualised muscular body ideal in gay social and cultural settings has been described as facilitating body image dissatisfaction among gay men. Drawing on a concept of reflexive embodiment, this paper uses qualitative interviews to analyse gay men’s embodiment practices in relation to discourses and norms that can be found across and beyond any coherent notion of ‘gay subculture’. The findings reveal body image to be more complex than a limited focus on subculture or dissatisfaction can account for. In particular, gay men negotiate a gay pride discourse in which the muscular male body generates both social status and self-esteem, and deploy notions of everyday masculinity that imply rationality and control to resist gendered assumptions about gay men’s body image relationships. KEYWORDS: body image; gay men; reflexive embodiment; sociology INTRODUCTION Body image dissatisfaction and gay men Following the shift from individual pathol-ogy to cognitive-behavioural and feminist perspectives in psychology (McKinely 2002; Pruzinsky and Cash 2002), a significant volume of psychological and health research has identi-fied a greater incidence of body...

I’ll briefly discuss the “whys” of the system: Why high frequency training can be effective; why high frequency HEAVY training, in particular, can be effective. But be aware up front that such is not the primary purpose of this guide. All of that has already been discussed in great detail in the book “Squat Every Day” by my friend Matt Perryman. It’s just $7, it’s an easy read, and I’d highly recommend you pick up a copy if the theoretical underpinnings of the Bulgarian Method interest you. There’s not much I could say about the “whys” that’s not already contained in “Squat Every Day,” so I’m not just going to copy that content and try to pass it off as my own.
