...work relationship that without the reveal of names or locations or times there is still a lesson still to be learned in generalities (Koocher & Keith-Spiegel, 1990). The facts involving the issue and the circumstance it surrounds are explained in detail that is such so the reader can understand the dilemma that is being faced with this true-life story. A scenario, such as this could have many possible alternate circumstances but in this case, the events chosen are played out and described for understanding the thought process and effects of certain actions and decisions. My desire and eagerness in obtaining my bachelor's degree has been a lifelong journey. After finishing high school 23 years ago, I attended a two- year college where I received a diploma in Office Administration. The same year, I got married and had 2 children within two years. My dream or desire of continuing my education was put on hold. I have always said that one day that I would go back to school. I enrolled at The University of Phoenix in November of 2010 for a bachelor's degree in Management. Since enrolling at the university, my son is now a junior in high school and my daughter a freshmen. I wanted to set a good example for my children and to let them know that in whatever you start, never give up until you have accomplished your goal. I have been inspired by many at...

...I will be discussing three standards documents; The Common Core Standards for Mathematics, which is a student curriculum and achievement set of standards, the California Standards for the Teaching Profession, which is a set of professional conduct standards aimed at teachers and lastly, The 21st Century Student Outcomes and Support Systems standards, which are targeted at both students and teachers. All three of these sets of standards make active claims to be raising the bar for achievement, be it for students or teachers. All three documents seek to fill a void in educational standards by clearly stating what they hope to achieve, why this is necessary and where past standards have come up short. All three documents are specific in nature, striving to lay out objectives as clearly as possible. Additionally, though the three sets of standards address students and teachers, and various subject matter, they all speak of a need for a holistic view. With The Common Core Standards for Mathematics for example, they talk of the interconnected nature of the various areas in math and how knowledge and ability in one area plays into the mastery of other areas. Similarly, both the California Standards for the Teaching Profession and the 21st Century Student Outcomes and Support Systems take a broad view on teacher and student success, looking at the whole picture of what makes a good teacher and what makes a good student. From a purely technical aspect, all three documents are found online...

There werethree major issues at hand: (1) the company was expanding into high-wage economies in Europe and North America; (2) the company was expanding its presence in China-a country where front-line employees were not used to exercising decision-making authority; and (3) newcomers in the Chinese hotel market were poaching Shangri-La's staff and driving up wages in historically low-waged markets. As a COO, Bridle needed to ensure that Shangri-La's signature standards of "Asian Hospitality" were maintained during this expansion.

Political liberalization, generally liberalization can be referred to as the relaxation of previous government restriction usually in such areas of political liberalization can be defined defined as increasing citizen rights and liberties. Under Museveni`s regime ,Uganda has been implementing simultaneous political reforms since 1986,where the citizens have the rights and liberties in doing things especially in political issues especially freedoms of speech and many others hence one of the steps or strategies that state in particular Museveni`s regime has used in reorganizing Uganda in the last three [3] decades. Privatization, this can be referred to as situation where the government transfers its ownership of properties to the citizen or the private companies. These strategy was introduced in 1980s by the...

...Three Shots Every body has to die and most people fear the death eventually. The fear encompasses the anxiety of the unknowing which can entail anything dependent on our age, our social awareness, the surroundings etc. However, apparently the fear will develop as people go through changes in their life. This is what the short story “Three Shots” by Ernest Hemingway revolves about, where a omniscient narrator acquaints the recipient with the main character Nick’s feelings. The story starts in medias res where the main character Nick is in the forest with his father and his Uncle George. Together they have went on a fishing trip into the forrest. Nick finds himself alone in a tent, in which he is looking back on last night’s happenings, thus the recipient meets with a flashback. His father and Uncle George have left the camp and instead they have gone fishing, and sudden Nick reaches the peak of his feelings. Nick is frightened, which is obvious when he walks trough the woods at night leaving the lake and the elder men “He was always a little frightened of the woods at night”. The darkness, the silence, perhaps the unknowing make him fear the death and it reminds him that he himself have to die eventually which causes to another flashback. In conclusion there is three parts of the story, which can be combined with Nick’s emotional stages. At first he realizes that someday he must die, “someday the silver cord will break”, which scares him and as a result makes him feel sick...

...12 Chapter 11 1. a. Construction on the global level seems to be a trend right now. The report shows the construction pipeline by stages in which the hotels are in development. It also discusses the three-year forecast of the hotel openings. It also discusses the supply trend in a 5 year time frame. Details Construction Pipeline Project and Guest Room Counts for Each of the Three Stages of Construction, Forecasts New Supply Additions for the Next Three Years, Displays Current Census Counts and Provides New Supply Additions for the Previous Two Years (Lodging Econometrics, 2013). 1. b. The one trend that I think is an up and coming major player with hotel competition is the introduction of Airbnb. The innovative way of travel that the company provides is going to give traditional hotel vacations a run for its money. People do not care as much as they used to about hotel brand when they plan their travel. What they care about is a hotel's location, value, and review (Singh, 2013). 2. a. Similarities among the three websites are that all offer a multiple property sites globally. Two of the three offer luxury property sites only while the other site has property sites that meet the needs of the average family traveler. 2. b. The target market for two of the three is more of the upscale luxury traveler and not the family traveler; more so the investor of luxury rather than the common vacationer. 2. c. One of the sites is strictly a lodging trust company that offers...

...Cultural Context The cultural context refers to the type of society in which a text is set-it’s structures, values and day-to-day rituals. Comparing the texts I have studied under Cultural Context mode involves entering the world of each text and comparing the ways in which the lives of the central characters are influenced by the worlds in which they live. The three texts I have studied are Lies of Silence (LS) by Brian Moore, Plough and the Stars (PS) playwrite by Sean O’Casey and Il Postino (IP) directed by Micheal Radford. These novelists, dramatists and film directors obviously employ their own distinctive narrative techniques. I was interested in studying a significant range of similarities in the way LS, PS and IP deliver their respective tales. The setting is easily comparable in all texts. IP was set in a small island off the coast of Italy around the 1950’s. Communism was the main political headline in this text, where a famous Italian poet, Pablo Neruda, was exiled from his own country and forced to live elsewhere for a short while due to the fact he was a communist. During this time also, Europe was struggling to cope from World War II. PS was set in Dublin, 1916. The Easter Rising was at stake. We receive an insight into the lives of the Irish people during The Troubles. There was also a feud between Socialism and Republicanism. LS is set in Belfast in the 1950’s when the Northern Troubles were at its climax. The setting in this text is dominated by the deep-rooted...

...field 4) Equivalent circuit model 5) Performance as a generator 6) Performance as a motor Introduction A synchronous machine is an ac rotating machine whose speed under steady state condition is proportional to the frequency of the current in its armature. The magnetic field created by the armature currents rotates at the same speed as that created by the field current on the rotor, which is rotating at the synchronous speed, and a steady torque results. Synchronous machines are commonly used as generators especially for large power systems, such as turbine generators and hydroelectric generators in the grid power supply. Because the rotor speed is proportional to the frequency of excitation, synchronous motors can be used in situations where constant speed drive is required. Since the reactive power generated by a synchronous machine can be adjusted by controlling the magnitude of the rotor field current, unloaded synchronous machines are also often installed in power systems solely for power factor correction or for control of reactive kVA flow. Such machines, known as synchronous condensers, may be more economical in the large sizes than static capacitors. With power electronic variable voltage variable frequency (VVVF) power supplies, synchronous motors, especially those with permanent magnet rotors, are widely used for variable speed drives. If the stator excitation of a permanent magnet motor is controlled by its rotor position such that the stator field is always 90o (electrical)...

...egocentrism. The ‘three mountains’ task (Piaget & Inhelder, 1956) In Piaget’s original test of egocentrism the child is shown a three dimensional model of three mountains. They are different sizes and colours and have different features (e.g. a cross, a house, some snow). After the child has had an opportunity to explore the model, a doll is introduced. The doll is placed so that it is ‘looking’ at the model from a different position from the child’s. The child is asked what the doll can see, and indicates its answer by choosing one from a range of pictures, each showing the mountains from a different point of view. Piaget and Inhelder (1956) found that four year-olds almost always chose a picture that represented what they could see and showed no awareness that the doll’s view would be different from this. Six year-olds frequently chose a picture different from their own view but rarely chose the correct picture for the doll’s point of view. Only at seven or eight years old did children consistently choose the picture that matched the doll’s viewpoint. The ‘turntable’ task (Borke, 1975) In Borke’s test of egocentrism the child is given two identical models of a three-dimensional scene (several different scenes were used including different arrangements of toy people and animals and a mountain model similar to Piaget and Inhelder’s). One of the models is mounted on a turntable so it can easily be turned by the child. After a practice session where the child is familiarized...

...other letters represent constants (fixed numbers). General form where A and B are not both equal to zero. The equation is usually written so that A ≥ 0, by convention. The graph of the equation is a straight line, and every straight line can be represented by an equation in the above form. If A is nonzero, then the x-intercept, that is, the x-coordinate of the point where the graph crosses the x-axis (where, y is zero), is −C/A. If B is nonzero, then the y-intercept, that is the y-coordinate of the point where the graph crosses the y-axis (where x is zero), is −C/B, and the slope of the line is −A/B. Standard form where A and B are not both equal to zero, A, B, and C are coprime integers, and A is nonnegative (if zero, B must be positive). The standard form can be converted to the general form, but not always to all the other forms if A or B is zero. It is worth noting that, while the term occurs frequently in school-level US algebra textbooks, most lines cannot be described by such equations. For instance, the line x + y = √2 cannot be described by a linear equation with integer coefficients since √2 is irrational. Slope–intercept form where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept, which is the y-coordinate of the location where line crosses the y axis. This can be seen by letting x = 0, which immediately gives y = b. It may be helpful to think about this in terms of y = b + mx; where the line originates at (0, b) and extends...
