...Unit 3: Gender Scavenger Hunt EDP 310: Gender Development 1) 1) Interview 4-5 females and 4-5 males (they can be friends or strangers). Ask each of them to think of adjectives that describe/symbolize men, and adjectives that describe/symbolize women. For each person you interview, list the first 4 words they think of for each gender. Keep a running list of the words (even if words are used multiple times). Bad language can be an issue here. If you feel uncomfortable with certain words, you do not have to list them, although you can count the number of inappropriate words that are used to describe each gender vs. more appropriate words. You can also count the number of positive words said vs. more derogatory words. Answer: When reading over the selections for this assignment I decided to pick option four. I found this assignment interactive and interesting. Seeing what the opposite sex think about each other. I interviewed eight people in total. Men: Andrew: He described women as: seductive, adorable, alluring, beautiful. He described men as: Tough, headstrong, rude, and egocentric. Joey: Joey was very harsh on describing women: Dumb, airheaded, blond, whores, and psychotic. He described men as: Sensitive, players, enticing and fuzzy. Hayden: Hayden likes men so his description on males were different then the two others: Smooth, velvety soft, warm, delicious. Description on girls: Ugly, stupid, mean, hurtful. Michael: Description on girls:...

Larry enjoys many other sports other than basketball, proving he can multitask and is open for change. Also, it shows that he lives a balanced life by running a children’s summer camp, ‘“The kids are like you owe’em. I had to baby sit em, put em to bed, and talk to their parents on the phone”’ (sjs). Larry gives back to his community, not expecting anything in return. He enjoys being around children as a result, proving that he likes to help out the less fortunate. Likewise, Boris Becker contributed positively to his community by being labelled the ‘“biggest name in Germany”’ (sjs). Since he retired from tennis he has tried many fields such as coaching Tommy Haas, ‘“He said he wanted to coach me and help me with all sorts of things outside tennis”’ (sjs). This proves that Boris is a team player because he wants to bring out the good in everyone and showcases his skills to others so they can improve. Boris cooked alongside ‘“Chef Paul Bocuse in one TV special”’ (sjs) proving that Boris holds many other attributes besides playing tennis. Furthermore, Boris owns a sporting company since leaving his career and is hoping to expand it, ‘“He owns half of Volkl and is trying to expand its market share”’ (sjs). As a result, retirement is proven to not be a tragedy because other interests can be pursued. While Larry Bird and Boris Becker explore...

...by the MBTI) and identifies specific techniques to support individual differences. The recent transition to the information age has focused attention on the processes of problem solving and decision making and their improvement (e.g., Nickerson, Perkins, & Smith, 1985; Stice, 1987; Whimbey & Lochhead, 1982). In fact, Gagne (1974, 1984) considers the strategies used in these processes to be a primary outcome of modern education. Although there is increasing agreement regarding the prescriptive steps to be used in problem solving, there is less consensus on specific techniques to be employed at each step in the problem-solving/decision-making process. There is concurrent and parallel research on personality and cognitive styles that describes individuals' preferred patterns for approaching problems and...

Advertised only by word of mouth, the book became a favo~te tralmng and counseling guide in many institutions-government, church, buslnes.s-and colleges across the nation adopted it as an auxiliary text in a dozen dIfferent departments. Why? Perhaps it was the user-friendly way that Please Understand Me helped people find their personality style. Perhaps it was the simple accuracy of Keirsey's portraits of temperament and character types. Or perhaps it was the book's essential messag~: that members of families and institutions are OK, even though they are fundamentally different from each other, and that they would all do well to appreciate their differences and give up trying to change others into copies of themselves. Now: P"IS' IllIIrstalllll H For the past twenty years Professor Keirsey has continued to investigate personality differences-to refine his theory of the four temperaments and to define the facets of character that distinguish one from another. His findings form the basis of Please Understand Me II, an updated and greatly expanded edition of the book, far more comprehensive and coherent than the original, and yet with much of the same easy accessibility. One major addition is Keirsey's view of how the temperaments differ in the intelligent roles they...

...Continuous Skyline Queries for Moving Objects Marwan Othman El-Rais Omar Khairy El -Morsy ABSTRACT The literature on the skyline algorithms so far mainly deal with queries for static query points over static datasets. With the increasing number of mobile service applications and users, the need for continuous skyline query processing has become more pressing. The continuous skyline operator involves not only static but also dynamic dimensions. In this paper, we examine the spatio-temporal coherence of the problem and propose a continuous skyline query processing strategy for moving query points. First, we distinguish the data points that are permanently in the skyline and use them to derive a search bound. Second, we investigate into the connection between data points’ spatial positions and their dominance relationship, which provides an indication on where to find changes of skyline and how to update the skyline continuously. Based on the analysis, we propose a kinetic-based data structure and an efficient skyline query processing algorithm. We analyze the space and time costs of the proposed method and conduct an extensive experiment to evaluate the proposal. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work on continuous skyline query processing. shown in Figure 1, there are a set of hotels and for each hotel, we have its distance from the beach (x axis) and its price (y axis). The interesting hotels are all the points not worse than any other point in both distance...

Keirsey Temperament Sorter-II ® Classic Temperament Report CFM 3046 Guardian Inspector (ISTJ) Name: CFM 3046 BMQ52873 Temperament: Guardian ™ Type: Inspector (ISTJ) In a world filled with unique individuals, when it comes to personality there are only four different temperaments and sixteen types of people. Understanding these personality types and mastering your own can be the keys to achieving your goals. Your temperament is the Guardian (SJ). You have a lot of company out there, as Guardians make up as much as 40 to 45 percent of the population. This is a good thing, because Guardians usually end up doing all the indispensable but thankless jobs the rest of the world takes for granted. Your particular personality type, the Inspector (ISTJ), makes up just about 10 to 11 percent of the total population. This report is designed to help you understand how the needs and preferences of your temperament shape who you are and how you behave. Based on more than 50 years of research by Dr. David W.

...Leveraging Existing Tests in Automated Test Generation for Web Applications Amin Milani Fard Mehdi Mirzaaghaei University of British Columbia Vancouver, BC, Canada Ali Mesbah {aminmf, mehdi, amesbah}@ece.ubc.ca ABSTRACT To test web applications, developers currently write test cases in frameworks such as Selenium. On the other hand, most web test generation techniques rely on a crawler to explore the dynamic states of the application. The first approach requires much manual effort, but benefits from the domain knowledge of the developer writing the test cases. The second one is automated and systematic, but lacks the domain knowledge required to be as effective. We believe combining the two can be advantageous. In this paper, we propose to (1) mine the human knowledge present in the form of input values, event sequences, and assertions, in the human-written test suites, (2) combine that inferred knowledge with the power of automated crawling, and (3) extend the test suite for uncovered/unchecked portions of the web application under test. Our approach is implemented in a tool called Testilizer. An evaluation of our approach indicates that Testilizer (1) outperforms a random test generator, and (2) on average, can generate test suites with improvements of up to 150% in fault detection rate and up to 30% in code coverage, compared to the original test suite. these interactions at runtime is manifested through the Document Object Model (DOM) and presented to the end-user in...

...Two Views of Soul: Aristotle and Descartes* THEODORE TRACY, SJ. What first attracted my interest to a possible comparison was the realization that, unlike Plato, both Aristotle and Descartes shared the view that, first, there is but a single soul and, second, that this soul operates principally through a single specific bodily organ. Given his own understanding, I believe Descartes could agree totally with Aristotle's statement that the soul's "essential nature cannot be * This paper was originally presented at the University of South Carolina in April 1981' as a contribution to a symposium on "Soul and Mind in Ancient Philosophy," organized by Professor Rosamond Kent Sprague. 248 Illinois Classical Studies, XI corporeal; yet it is also clear that soul is present in a particular bodily part, and this one of the parts having control over the rest":' dfiXou 6ri ovx oihv r' tivai adua rffv ovtriau ocvrfiq, aW 5fi(t)c, Sri 7' iv tlvl tov (TUifiaToq inrapxii^ nopiw (t>avtpbv, kcu iv tovtw tivi twv ixovruiv bvvafiiv eV roJq nopioic,. {Parva Naturalia 467b 13- 16) For Aristotle, as we know, that particular controlling organ is the heart.

Key Words energy focusing, nonlinear dynamics, complexity, hydrodynamics gas bubble, continuum mechanics, shock shape instabilities, chemical hydrodynamics Abstract Sonoluminescence, the transduction of sound into light, is a phenomenon that pushes fluid mechanics beyond its limit. An initial state with long wavelength and low Mach number, such as is realized for a gas bubble driven by an audible sound field, spontaneously focuses the energy density so as to generate supersonic motion and a different phase of matter, from which are then emitted picosecond flashes of broad-band UV light. Although the most rational picture of sonoluminescence involves the creation of a ‘‘cold’’ dense plasma by an imploding shock wave, neither the imploding shock nor the plasma has been directly observed. Attempts to attack sonoluminescence from the perspective of continuum mechanics have led to interesting issues related to bubble shape oscillations, shock shape instabilities, and shock propagation through nonideal media, and chemical hydrodynamics.

The approaches are applied to illustrative clinical material taken from a fictional character. In addition, the essay uses Michael Jacob’s model of ‘The Triangle of Insight’ to facilitate the treatment and the exchanges that occur in supervision. Elizabeth Pargetter[1] Eight months after the sudden death of her husband and business partner Nigel, in a tragic accident, Elizabeth Pargetter (neé Archer) presented at her first counselling session. Whilst still experiencing the agony of her loss, she said that things were now beginning to move on in some parts of life. Her bond with the children, 11 year old twins Lily and Freddie, was strong and, although sometimes sad, they were coping well. The business, Lower Loxley – a stately home and conference centre, was also thriving and, after some initial reluctance, Elizabeth said that she has now taken on some very capable staff who had known Nigel and shared with her the history of the family and Lower Loxley Hall. Elizabeth said that, whilst appearing outwardly to cope with the children and the business, there were areas in her life that were of great concern that she had not been able to talk to anyone about.

...Steve Jobs and Father Jose Maria Arizmendiarrieta were both exemplary leaders. In just 35 years, Steve Jobs took Apple Computers from a mere idea to a $380 billion dollar enterprise. Father Arizmendiarrieta educated and aided the first founders of the Mondragón Cooperative that today employs more than 80 000 people. Great achievements from two man who simply cannot be defined by any one “textbook” leadership style. It appears that in real life leadership theories may be applied in synergy, allowing the flexibility for a leader to adapt their style as the situation requires. Whilst Steve Jobs and Father Arizmendiarrieta were both effective leaders, one stands out. Father Arizmendiarrieta led a population to self-sufficiency and whilst never the vast financial success of Apple, Mondragón’s continuing existence is the legacy of a truly superior leader. Five theories; trait, behaviours, power motives, charismatic and transformational leadership will be discussed in turn, each one examining the similarities and/or differences Steve Jobs and Father Arizmendiarrieta displayed and how these differences made Father Arizmendiarrieta the more outstanding leader. Trait leadership is one of the original leadership theories and has resurfaced recently with Zaccaro (2006) arguing that traits and attributes combined, can be a significant predictor of leadership ability. Personality traits can be divided into general and task related traits (Dubrin 2013, pp. 37-50). Effective leaders display...
