...North Korea: A Stand Down or a Stand Off? Christopher Caver Strayer University North Korea ENG 215 Research & Writing Professor J. Welch June 9, 2013 With North Korea´s recent threats on several occasions to launch a nuclear weapon at various countries to include South Korea, Guam, Japan, and even the United States, the United Nations and the United States cannot standby any longer. Additionally does North Korea’s recent withdraw from verbal threats to the United States and its allies indicate a stand down? Although nuclear talks and heated talks between the U.S. and North Korea are nothing new, it has become progressively more frequent and North Korea has been determined to be seen as a nuclear capable country. Although for now, North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong Un has receded from his talks of going to war with South Korea and other United States´ allies, can the U.S. trust the North Koreans knowing how they continually say one thing while secretly doing the opposite. Additionally can the U.S. and the U.N. continue to allow North Korea to possess nuclear capabilities while continuing to ignore other major issues within the country? [pic] As you can see in the photograph above, North Korea has gone as far as to strategically place several missles which could be possibly armed with nuclear warheads in various positions in the launch position for the world to see.

...Bullying has been a widespread headache in our school. Most of the riots and gang war started from bullying. Most of the schools bullying were just ignored, they even don’t take actions of the damages cause by bullying. I remembered from a parent in the school of my son where she shared what happened to her son inside the school. Her son was bullied from the school paper. Imagine his own pictures were the source of laugh in the whole campus and he is in high school level. Just imagine how embarrassing it is for him. For a month or two her son suffered from trauma and he stop for a while but came back to school after a long and several talk. Aside from that I also heard lots of news about bullying inside the school. Just the same the school did not do anything about it. I am really surprised that the school head and administration did not do anything about it. Anyway maybe because the school administration where not capable enough to handle such things and maybe they don’t have enough knowledge about it. Now that the law about Anti – bullying where passed, I guess school administration and heads can now be guided on what to do if such things occurs inside the school campuses. They just can’t ignore such things especially if it is the main reason why the students were having problem. I am glad that this law has been passed on; I hope and prayed that it will be used according to its purpose. Then served rightfully to those who deserved to be punished according to the law. Also...

...TOPIC 7: Power and Conflict i. Which power bases lie with the individual? Which are derived from the organisation? Expert and Referent power base lie with the individual. Expert power influence based on special skills or knowledge. Because the specialisation of jobs becomes more and more popular, we become increasingly dependent on experts to achieve goals. Referent power influence based on possession by an individual of desirable resources or personal traits. Referent power develops out of admiration of another and a desire to be like that person. For example, If I like, respect and admire you, you can exercise power over me because I want to please you. Coercive and Reward and Legitimate power are the power derived from the organisation. Coercive power is the power base that is dependent on fear. In other words, The coercive power base depends on fear of the negative results from failing to comply. Coercive power can also come from withholding key information. Reward power is the opposite power of coercive power. Reward power is the compliance achieved based on the ability to distribute rewards that others view as valuable. Legitimate power is the power a person receives as a result of his or her position in the formal hierarchy of an organisation. It includes members’ acceptance of the authority of a position. ii. Write a 200 word summary of the argument in the article by Politis. This paper examines the relationship between credibility, the dimensions of power...

Forrester, BS ABSTRACT. The combination of hydrocodone, carisoprodol, and alprazolam is subject to abuse. Ingestions of this drug combination reported to Texas poison centers during 1998–2009 were identified (totaling 1,295 cases) and the distribution of ingestions by selected factors was determined. The number of cases increased from 0 in 1998 to 200 in 2007, and then decreased to 132 in 2009. The counties in eastern and southeastern Texas accounted for 80.9% of the cases. Of the patients, 57.3% were women and 94.6% were age 20 or older. Suspected attempted suicide accounted for 59.3% of the cases and intentional misuse or abuse for 27.3%. KEYWORDS.

Barry Chung University of Illinois at Urbana-Charnpaign The special needs and concerns of international counseling psychology students in the United States have been largely ignored. The purpose of this paper is to discuss education issues regarding this student population . Topics covered include: admission, language and cultural adjustment, learning experience, practicum and internship, thesis and dissertation, reentry, and recommendations for future research . Many counseling psychology education programs in the United States are committed to increasing diversity in their student body by recruiting students from different demographic backgrounds (e .g ., sex, age, geographic location, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, physical disability, etc .) . Some programs are more successful than others in this effort . However, a diverse student body also demands special attention in education programs . It is obvious that students from different backgrounds may have different needs and concerns . Unfortunately, some programs tend to treat everybody the same way with limited assistance for the professional growth of students from diverse backgrounds . International counseling psychology students in the U.S . are among those whose needs and...

...TG3001 INDUSTRIAL PRACTICE Report 3 The Department SEMESTER II 2013/2014 Name Matrix No. : Chi Chang Kai : A0103804 Refinery Operations Refining is a complex operation that depends upon the skills of operators, engineers and planners in combination of cutting edge technology to produce products that meet the demands of competitive market. Some of the greatest challenges for the refinery in recent years have been changes to the specification of transportation fuels. The switch between leaded to unleaded petrol, the reduction of sulfur levels in diesel and petrol have all required major investments in new units and upgrades to existing units. What do operations do? Oil refining is the separation of crude oil by distillation into different fractions. But many other complex processes are necessary to produce a full range of products, that includes propane and butane (LPG), petrol, jet fuel, diesel, marine fuels, heating oil, lubricant basestocks and fuel oil In Singapore Jurong refinery, the operations mainly consist of 3 team forces – S1, S2 and S4. All teams are operating in 24 hours continuously. S1 and S2 teams are in charge of on-site units as shown in below Figure 1-A-1 to ensure the units are performing on their specifications. S4 is taking care of off-sites, as sub-sea pipe line, transportation and tankage for products. Daily work support 1.

JACKSON, M.D.,3 ELENA FUENTES-AFFLICK, M.D., M.P.H.,4 and JENNIFER S. HAAS, M.D., M.S.P.H.2 ABSTRACT Objective: To examine changes in health status among women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH). Methods: We examined perceived health status changes from the prepregnancy, as recalled at 12–20 weeks gestation, to the postpartum period in women with GDM (n 64) vs. unaffected gravidas (n 1233) and women diagnosed with PIH (n 148) vs. unaffected gravidas. We used patient survey and medical record data from a prospective cohort study. Health status measures included the Short Form-36 scales for physical function, vitality, and self-rated health and the Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression Scale (CES-D). Multivariate logistic regression models controlled for age, parity, race, education, prepregnancy body mass index (BMI) and exercise levels, food insufficiency, and GDM or PIH during a prior pregnancy. Results: Women with PIH more often reported a significant decline in vitality (odds ratio [OR] 1.51, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.02-2.23) and self-rated health (OR 2.12, 95% CI 1.193.77) and an increase in depressive symptoms from prepregnancy to postpartum compared...

...Preface C++ 3e.fm Page iii Monday, July 16, 2001 1:44 PM PREFACE Welcome to the third edition of Data Abstraction and Problem Solving with C++: Walls and Mirrors. Since the publication of the second edition, we all have gained experience with teaching data abstraction in an objectoriented way using C++. This edition reflects that experience and the evolution that C++ has taken. This book is based on the original Intermediate Problem Solving and Data Structures: Walls and Mirrors by Paul Helman and Robert Veroff (© 1986 by The Benjamin/Cummings Publishing Company, Inc.). This work builds on their organizational framework and overall perspective and includes technical and textual content, examples, figures, and exercises derived from the original work. Professors Helman and Veroff introduced two powerful analogies, walls and mirrors, that have made it easier for us to teach—and to learn—computer science. With its focus on data abstraction and other problem-solving tools, this book is designed for a second course in computer science. In recognition of the dynamic nature of the discipline and the great diversity in undergraduate computer science curricula, this book includes comprehensive coverage of enough topics to make it appropriate for other courses as well. For example, you can use this book in courses such as introductory data structures or advanced programming and problem solving. The goal remains to give students a superior foundation in data abstraction...
