...Schools and their rules Kids are meant to enjoy their childhood and play around and have fun. Parents only want the best for their children, but it’s their children’s education that always come first. There are always controversies and arguments about which schooling benefits the student’s learning the most. Most kids are put into public schools because it doesn’t require much money unlike homeschooling or private school. Many families struggle with poverty so public schools are the only options left for them. Money isn’t the only problem that people are facing, but whether or not the students are learning going to school. Does the different type of schools really determine how much the students learn? What are the pros and cons of public schools, private schools and homeschooling? What type of school is the ‘right’ school? According to the Institute of Education Sciences, folks reported having state funded school decision, more or less 25 percent went to a picked government funded school, while 67 percent went to their allocated school while the other 9 percent went to a non-public school.

...Oji Michael Chukwu MBA 6322, Leadership in Supply Chain, Management 29th October 2015 Reflective Essay on 22nd October 2015 Lecture. At the start of the semester when I registered for this class I thought it would just a walk in the park kind of experience, but I have come to understand that as the course goes on that the class will enable me to interact with other classmates, creating more confidence in me by improving my writing, social and leadership skills. The case study exercise exposed the art of mobilizing others to want to struggle for shared aspirations and also how one person makes a difference in a group. Writing about my personal goals and reflective essay, made me see how much I have improved in my writing and learning. Most of all this class helps me to know more about the role of leadership in supply chain management. The student leadership challenge as I was made to understand is to help me identify able set of skills and abilities that will enable me to effect a change in my present environment and also in the future. I learned that in group projects that each person is accountable for something in a group and if one person messes up than the whole group gets the consequence of the result. In view of this fact I feel more relaxed knowing that each person in my group knows what they were accountable for and would not let the group down on the job. This has increased my awareness of being accountable on what decisions I make as a future...

...THE COMPONENTS OF OPEN THEISM INTRODUCTION Perhaps one of the most dangerous doctrines that has influenced the church over the last few centuries is the doctrine of open theism (OT). Early Christianity until today has been strengthened and built on the confidence that God knows everything about the future. In fact, great hymns have been written claiming that God knows the future. Excellent theologians have written and supported this doctrine that elevates God as the supreme being over all. Over the last couple of centuries, a doctrine has invaded the evangelical world and has put the traditional view of God’s foreknowledge at risk. This doctrine has been called open theism. This doctrine has gained much attention in the evangelical world as it seeks to answer the questions pertaining to God’s foreknowledge. The question of God’s omniscience is at stake with the doctrine of open theism considering they claim that God is incapable of knowing what happens in the future. Therefore, it results in a lack of trust for Him and His involvement in the lives of people. The purpose of this research is to look at the components of open theism and comparing it to the historical theology of deism. DEFINING OPEN THEISM What is open theism? Open theism has been emerging for the past couple of decades. Bruce Ware, the vocal theologian who does not believe in open theism defines it as “the belief that the future is open and hence not foreknown or foreordained.” At first, it seems absurd for...

...ICHEC – Professor Luc Moeremans 2015/2016 Catarina Duarte 153111 Corporate Strategy Good Strategy / Bad Strategy The difference and why it matters by Richard Rumelt Part I The book Good Strategy/Bad Strategy written by the professor of business and society in the school of business and management UCLA - Richard Rumelt - clarifies the difference between good strategies and bad strategies and provides a thorough understanding of how to create and think about good strategies. It daylights a fundamental range of aspects to which has not been given much importance and where people fail when trying to manage an organization, a school or even a research. Presenting interesting and fascinating examples of contemporary businesses and from world’s history, Richard Rumelt motivates his ideas and makes the readers have a clear understanding of them. The difference between a good strategy and what people think of a “good strategy” has grown over the years. In the opinion of Richard Rumelt a strategy is not a goal or a vision but a plan to achieve that ambition. It is fundamental to find and understand what problems an organization is facing and design a way to coordinate actions and resources in order to deal with those problems. The problem is when leaders cannot define those obstacles, making impossible to create a strategy to overcome the organization’s challenges; or when leaders mistake the plan to deal with the organization’s problems with statements of desire...

...24-hour challenge of Internet disconnection Last Sunday, I had an experience which I challenged myself – I asked myself not to communicate via the Internet for 24 hours in order to see how I would feel without contacting with the world through the Internet. I decided to stay disconnected with the social media in a day, the challenge started at 8am on 14/03/2015. This blog entry is to show my activities within the challenge. 8.00am (14/03/2015) I woke up and turned off wifi and mobile data completely. I did not turned off my cellphone because I love taking pictures, I want to capture moments of life – therefore I can use camera of my cellphone to make it. 8.30am It was considered early to me to wake up at this time. I got out of bed and did my personal hygiene in the morning. Turned back to my room, I decided to clean my room after busy weeks with schoolwork. Normally, I use my phone to check out my Facebook and messages, but I did not do it. I was quite satisfied to see my neat room. 9.15am I was hungry, I made instant noodle as a breakfast. I started feeling uncomfortable without using social media. Well, I really wanted to make it, so I continued the challenge. 10.00am After eating and cleaning stuff in the kitchen, I played some nice and sweet pieces of music on the piano. I really enjoyed it and did not think of what was happening in the social media. I played for 2 hours which made me have a calm mind. 12 noon I felt that I should check out my media account since...

...Labor Relations Grand Canyon University: HLT-520 James Webb September 23, 2015 The National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) started in July 1935 to protect the rights of employees, rather, they be union or nor-union employees (Pozgar, 2012). The employees are protected under the Act or may employ in bubble-like, rigorous goings-on in situations other than the customary union organizations and cooperative bargaining. The National Labor Relations Board regulates the employers from interfering with the rights of the employees to implement or organize and join with a groups that offers assists with collective bargaining purposes like organization union or joining one (Pozgar, 2012). The employer may not restrain, coerce or stop employees from the right to gain assists with a union (Pozgar, 2012). An example that would violate the NLRA in a hospital setting is when an employee (non-union) has been working overtime and is on salary (Chapman, 2015). Hospital policy for staff who are on salary are exempt from overtime. In the position with salary, a staff member can take time off during the work week in order for the hospital to avoid paying overtime. With a tight schedule that the staff are obligated too, it is next to impossible for the staff to take the time off, in the one week time, so they lose the compensation and work for free, adding long hour days. One of the staff members wrote a letter to protest and to make changes the way that staff is compensation for overtime, that...

...Introduction to Pastoral Theology (P7101B) Assessment 2 – Class Presentation DEFINITION OF MISSIO DEI What is ‘missio dei’? It is a Latin theological term, which literally means ‘the mission (or the sending) of God’. Although the concept is as old as the Bible itself, the theology of missio dei originated in an essay written by noted theologian Karl Barth in 1932. It did not gain wide acceptance until 1952, when it was presented at the Willingen Conference of the International Missionary Council Meeting. Throughout history, God has been working towards the restoration of His creation – this is the essence of missio dei. God has been calling on His people, from within and beyond the church, to take part in this ongoing mission to build His Kingdom on earth. David Bosch in ‘Transforming Mission’, defines missio dei as: “God the Father sending the Son, God the Father and the Son sending the Spirit, and the Father, Son and Holy Spirit sending the church into the world”. He goes on to state that, “Mission is not primarily an activity of the church, but an attribute of God. God is a missionary God. Mission is thereby seen as a movement from God to the world; the church is viewed as an instrument for that mission. There is church because there is mission, not vice versa. To participate in mission is to participate in the movement of God’s love toward people, since God is a fountain of sending...

...the one in action. According to (help guide 2015), Emotional abuse includes verbal abuse such as yelling, name-calling, blaming, and shaming. Isolation, intimidation, and controlling behavior also fall under emotional abuse. Additionally, abusers who use emotional or psychological abuse often throw in threats of physical violence or other repercussions if you don’t do what they want you may think that physical abuse is far worse than emotional abuse, since physical violence can send you to the hospital and leave you with scars. But, the scars of emotional abuse are very real, and they run deep. In fact, emotional abuse can be just as damaging as physical abuse sometimes even more so. Therefore domestic violence is left women, and men scar for life. First, women always become a weak link to man because they either grow up seeing it or afraid of being hurt. For example, domestic violence also called intimate partner violence that occurs between people in an intimate relationship. Men are sometimes abused by partners, but domestic violence is most often directed toward women and heterosexual or same-sex relationships. It might not be easy to identify domestic violence at first while some relationships are clearly abusive from the outset, abuse often starts subtly and gets worse over time. You might be experiencing domestic violence if you're in a relationship with someone who calls you all types of names. For instance, help guide (2015) states that when facing consequences, abusers...
