...Nikita Deshmukh Mrs.Eckstein AP Language and Composition 4/29/15 Reflection The columnist project assigned for APENG was not that bad. I liked having to go and find a columnist that suits your interest, read about his work, annotate it, and then write a précis on it. Annotating the articles became easy since it was mostly SOAPS TONE and this will really help on our AP Exams since we use SOAPS TONE to write the rhetorical analysis essay. This assignment will really help us on improving our writing since so you can only write so much about an article in four sentences so it helps us work on our usage of word choice. We began to realize that a single strong word can replace a few small not so strong words. The format of a précis is almost set up like an essay where each of the four sentences represents the beginning of a new paragraph. After looking back and analyzing all of the précis combined, you can characterize Nicholas Kristof as a columnist who isn’t afraid of having his opinions out there and he isn’t afraid of giving in by writing solutions to problems, his bravery might be the reason he is a communist. Kristof focuses on America’s political and economic issues but it isn’t where every article repeats the same things like other columnists might do. For one article he wrote about Iranians wanting their country to go back to being normal, then for another one he wrote about Obama’s foreign policy and the effects of it toward other countries like Yemen, and the for another...

...Reflection Paper on Stand and Deliver “At a tough school, someone had to take a stand… and someone did. Together, one teacher and one class proved to America they could… Stand and Deliver” –taglines of the movie “Stand and Deliver.” Jaime Escalante has a steady job but left it for a lowly position math teacher at James A. Garfield High School. Knowing that the school is where rebellion runs high and teachers are more focused on discipline than in academics, he is determined to change the system and challenge the students to soar high in excellence. Of course, the students will not like a teacher who engages them in the things they don’t like. But as days passed, Escalante was able to convince the students and got their attention by adopting unconventional teaching methods and conveying the necessity of math in everyday living. He successfully instilled in the mind of his students that all use math everyday. With his determination and perseverance, he was able to turn gang members, no-hopers, and even the most troublesome teens into dedicated students who are ready to learn. The school board has low expectations on the students and the teachers even called them illiterates. But Jaime Escalante didn’t listen to the concerns and skepticism of his colleagues. Instead, he realized that his students are capable of more than the expectations and criticisms thrown to them. He developed a math program which requires the students to take summer classes, including Saturdays, so that...

...connectivity, and productivity, they also pose an unprecedented threat to network security guarding, which has literally taken to the airwaves. This paper will deal with vulnerabilities and risks regarding access points (APs) in a wireless network (WLAN) connecting to a wired local area network (LAN) in enterprises. Data for this paper will come from published academic papers, industry publications including white papers and surveys, and industry specialists. It will also include definitions of terms, policy and procedures that affect access points, and current practices regarding rogue APs. A case study will be presented for a fictional enterprise with multiple locations that has standard procedures, policies, and protocols in place, but recent events have questioned their ability to control access points with the discovery of rogue devices hidden in several office locations. Industry warnings about access points span the past thirteen years, and still new articles appear saying similar warnings, with only the solutions evolving with the technology. Suggested solutions will include security literacy regarding APs and their devices and their compliance; security audits to re-evaluate configurations of current hardware and software, inventory of current APs, wireless devices, ports, stations and their...

...Vol. 4, No. 5 International Journal of Business and Management An Analysis of Investor’s Risk Perception towards Mutual Funds Services Nidhi Walia (Corresponding author) Lecturer, School of Management & Social Sciences, Thapar University Patiala, India E-mail: nwalia@thapar.edu Dr. Mrs. Ravi Kiran School of Management & Social Sciences, Thapar University Patiala, India E-mail: rkiran@thapar.edu Abstract Financial markets are constantly becoming more efficient by providing more promising solutions to the investors. Being a part of financial markets although mutual funds industry is responding very fast by understanding the dynamics of investor’s perception towards rewards, still they are continuously following this race in their endeavor to differentiate their products responding to sudden changes in the economy. Thus, it is high time to understand and analyze investor’s perception and expectations, and unveil some extremely valuable information to support financial decision making of mutual funds. Financial markets are becoming more exhaustive with financial products seeking new innovations and to some extent innovations are also visible in designing mutual funds portfolio but these changes need alignment in accordance with investor’s expectations. Thus, it has become imperative to study mutual funds from a different angle, i.e, to focus on investor’s expectations and uncover the unidentified parameters that account for their dissatisfaction. Present research proposes...

...Kennedy Nabors Mrs. Dale AP English IV 24 November 2012 The Odyssey of Realism All throughout literature and script has been used as a means to describe or make a point to an audience. In American literature, the focus of these devices has become the use of language, aesthesis, truth, expression, fiction, and affectiveness. In Death of a Salesman, Arthur Miller’s stylistic devices convey not only bitter deception and bleak despair, but also hopeless despondency and forlorn anguish to display the realism and iniquity of the common man. As a representative form of American realism, Death of a Salesman portrays the use of language to convey a feeling of acrimony that demonstrates the relationship between the ideas of Willy Loman and the American common man. Willy Loman as the protagonist and the antagonist of his own story creates the sense of language that develops the idea of being “liked and you never will want” stating the façade of the Willy’s society (Miller 21). While communicated to the audience through a form of realism, his language functions as the crevice between the real and non-real. As development of language continues sometimes Willy Loman’s clichés “rise to the level of pure poetry” (Roudane 369). The use of language constructs poetic symbolism and closes the gap between non-realism and realism. Throughout the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain utilizes a poignant sense of diction reciprocating the slang the common man used in the Antebellum South...

Go to the beach or study for an exam: If I decided to go to the beach my opportunity cost would be my exam that I would most likely fail because of me choosing to get a tan at the beach instead of studying.

Get a job after high school or go to college: If I chose to get a job after high school I would have more money than if I went to college but my opportunity cost would be going to college and getting a good education, and with my degree I would be getting a higher paying job than my job straight after high school.

...The Principles of NAADAC Code of Ethics Student Name: Unit Name: Unite Code: Instructor: Date of Submission: Introduction With the recognition that NAADAC members and other certified counselors interact with clients from diverse backgrounds, NAADAC has devised a set of ethical principles that guide universal ethical deliberation. To a great extent, the principles encompassed in NAADAC’s code of ethics are premised on the recognition and encouragement of the idea that professional and personal ethics cannot be perceived as separate domains (The Association for Addiction Professionals, 2015). In this regard, NAADAC members and other addiction professionals recognize that an individual’s ability to do well is founded on an underlying concern to cater for the well-being of others. The bottom-line here is that the well-being of each person has an intimate correlation to the well-being of all people. The principles outlined in the NAADAC code of ethics are discussed below; 1. Autonomy This principle highlights the need for addiction professionals to support the independence, freedom, and self-determination of their clients. Therefore, addiction practitioners are obligated to respect client values, facilitate client independence, and respect the right of the client to make decisions regarding their health and general well-being (AAP, 2015). A violation of this principle occurs when the counselor emphasizes on a particular aspect...

...CHAPTER ONE 1. BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY Before an investor commits his funds to any investment in stocks, he must ensure that such stock is the type that is capable of satisfying his investment objectives. These objectives which vary from one investor to another include:- i) security (safety of capital invested) ii) adequate return on investment by way of dividends iii) growth prospects/capital appreciation iv) spread of risks, etc. The exercise of security analysis is based on the general assumption that the intrinsic value of a company can be discovered by an assembly and analysis of financial information relating to its operations. This then forms the basis on which the investor could evaluate each stock in the market and determine the extent to which it satisfies his specific objectives before deciding whether or not to invest. 2. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM A decision to invest in stocks, like any other investment decision, has a direct impact on the investor’s networth. The main issue which this study focuses on is to examine how prudently an investor can select securities based on conventional objective criteria so as to improve his networth. Consequently, some relevant research questions that direct the study include:- - determining the profitability of the companies whose studies are being offered to the investor and likelihood of maintaining or improving upon such performance...
