...A Summer’s Reading Respect is a very dominant and important factor in the story of Bernard Malamud, “A Summer’s Reading.” The reach for respect from the people around him causes a lot of dilemma within the main character, George Stoyonovic. And those dilemmas led to consequences that George hated. George, a high school drop out, can not get any job during one summer. He decides to read the magazines found at home. But when he met Mr. Cattanzara, he immediately lies about the hundred books he is reading, in order for Mr. Cattanzara to respect him as well as to be proud of him. Respect is a form of acknowledgement of one’s existence. Respect is very important to everybody. Respect also gives a person a sense of confidence that he is not a failure and contradicts the idea that he is not good enough. People want respect because they want others to know how good they are. Though everybody wants it, most people often take it for granted. The irony of it all is that people wants it so much that they would do anything just to get it. In the story, the theme Respect is very important for everybody was shown a couple of times. An example of these scenes is when George was contemplating whether or not he should attend the night classes. “He has considered registering in a night high school, only he did not like the idea of teachers always telling him what to do. He felt that they had not respected him.” He decides that...

...Linked Worksheets and Workbooks . Linked Worksheets and Workbooks Worksheets and workbooks have long been the backbone to many organizations and companies. They are used for just about all a business’s record keeping, from tracking sales to the financial accounting. I reviewed a couple of articles and I found one that emphasized the need for proper workbooks and worksheets. This article goes in detail on how a company by the name of Jaguar Mining took its workbooks and consolidated them to fit the business needs. Jaguar Mining was having trouble because even though it was a small company it was trying to manage three separate workbooks, composed of over 100 linked spreadsheets, containing the financial and operational data for the mining and headquarters locations. That was a lot of work for such a minor company. Each sheet represented different functions for each mine and plant, including operating, capital, and cost data, as well as the monthly financial results. Well this was an impossible task at a company that only had ten people at the company headquarters. The company found that Excel just was not going to work for them. What it did next was switch to a company called Adaptive Planning (now called Adaptive Insight). It still has workbooks and worksheets but now the information that is needed is merged to suit the company’s needs. Jaguar Mining still has its workbooks and worksheets but now can input the data in a form that...

...Office of Human Resources Diversity & Inclusion Activities Diversity and Inclusion activities are simple ways to get people talking and listening to one another. It is only through understanding each other that we truly gain knowledge and can move forward together. While we can’t always walk in someone else’s shoes, we can take the time to inquire about how the shoe fits and if its path is smooth or riddled with pebbles. Social Justice • PO Box 6031, 412 Knapp Hall • Morgantown, WV 26506 • 304-293-8948 http://socialjustice.ext.wvu.edu/ Objectives Office of Human Resources There are many reasons you may choose to use and icebreaker or activity: to warm up or relax your group, to bring your group back together after a break or intense session, to introduce the next segment or to present your group with challenges that, as a team (together or divided into small groups or teams), your group must either overcome or address. Age & Appropriateness Icebreakers and activities are adaptable to your group and situation. When considering an icebreaker or activity, be sure to keep specifics about your group in mind, such as age and meeting focus. Please don’t overlook an icebreaker or activity because you think the group is too mature for it. Many groups, once aware that it’s ok to relax and have fun, will enjoy the experience of “being able to let go,” if only for a moment.

...Gibb and Dyches workbook summary Charlie Baldwin Liberty University Gibb and Dyches workbook summary Special Education and the Individualized Education Program The Individualized Education Program (IEP) is a legal document used by schools in order to map out a plan of action for those that are in need of special education. An IEP is created for students who have been classified with a disability and are between the ages of 3 and 21. An Individualized Education Program (IEP) is a written statement of the educational program designed to meet a child’s individual educational needs. Every child who receives special education services must have an IEP. An individualized education program has the goal of setting reasonable improvement learning goals for a child for one year including the role the school will assist the student to achieve their specific goals (Gibb & Dyches, 2016). The IEP is developed by a team that meets and discusses the relevant information about the child's strengths and deficiencies. The team meets, in order to analyze the data obtained by gathering data and individual assessments data about the child. The team then develops specific educational interventions educational to address the child’s educational deficiencies that result from his or her disability. This team meets at least once a year but as often as needed to ensure that the child’s educational needs are being met. The IEP has two important roles. The first is the special education plan...
