...Appreciate Irish Heritage Introduction The Irish culture is rich in customs, beliefs, and practices with substantial significance in the current times. It also constitutes traditions, literature, music, art, language, legends, sport and cuisine associated with Irish people living in the United States. These aspects of the Irish heritage are not homogeneous among natives of Ireland because of cultural divides that exist between rural Irish and urban Irish, Protestants and Catholics, settled population and travellers, native population and immigrants as well as disparities in language among Irish people. As such, Irish heritage is diverse with different elements that vary depending on the specific area of origin or consideration. The vast flow of people from Ireland to America from 1740 to 1922 is attributable to the modern Irish history in the United States. During this time, about seven million people of Irish origin immigrated to North America. In the attempts to adjust to the demands or requirement of modern industrializing world, some adjustments were made on Irish culture and identity, both personal as well as national. The native Irish culture was linked with the American culture to form the Irish-American culture, a blend of both cultures. However, considerable aspects of the Irish culture are depicted in the practices, festivals, religion, and culture of the contemporary Irish communities living in the United States. Furthermore, several elements of this culture...

...LEADERSHIP REFLECTIVE JOURNAL 6 In this tutorial, I learned about Appreciate Inquiry, which is a practical framework of emotion in leadership. Appreciate inquiry is an approach from Positive Organisational Scholarship (POS), which focuses on companies creating positive work life and performance. The four key components of positive organizational scholarship (POS) are self-efficacy, hope, optimism and resiliency. I practiced AI by following 3 steps consisting of Positive priming, Group discussion and provided positive answer to the question Student contribution in tutorials on the BSc in Business management and how it can be even better, even stronger. The tutorial delivered an emotion- based approach that leader may adapt to implement change in organisation. Through the Appreciate Inquiry, a leader as well as subordinates should have the ability think more positively and thus be able to manage organisational performance through positive changes. The practice of Appreciate Inquiry also introduces a new approach to understanding of emotion and leadership; it concentrates more on the positive emotion and cognitive process rather than the negative sides as it helps to identify the strengths and opportunity Being in AI mode; I felt that thinking positively did provide a number of advantages. The AI allowed me to minimise or ignore all the negative factors or counter argument for every point I make for the improvement in Business Management improvement issue. This allowed me to...

...An appreciation is an increase in the rate of one currency in terms of another. A currency will appreciates when the demand for the currency is more that it supply. When a currency appreciates, the price of their goods and services will increase. This will then lead to higher price of exports and resulting in lower demand of exports. Thus export receipts fall. At the same time, the price of import goods and services will become expensive. This will lead to lower price of imports and resulting in higher demand of imports. Thus import payments increase. As a result, this will worsen the balance of payment and contribute to the current account deficit. This is the case when price elasticity of demand of the goods and services is elastic. This is because a small increase in price will lead to a larger fall in quantity demanded and larger fall in total revenue. In addition, if the appreciation is in a long run, foreign countries will switch to buy from other countries or find substitutes rather than buying from our country. AS a result, our demand for exports will fall and resulting in lower export receipts. Besides that, when a currency appreciates, investments from foreign to our country will fall. This is because it is more expensive to invest in our country. As a result, lesser investment will lead to lesser inflow of money and lower production in the economy. When production falls, number of workers needed decrease as well and this lead to an increase in unemployment in the...

...When you walk into a floral shop, you will be greeted by beautiful full blooms and vibrant colors from plants deemed most aesthetically pleasing. This tanka makes me smile because the author, Harryette Mullen, takes notice of plants that are unique in their appearance. Coneflowers, like Mullen describes, have reversed blooms appearing an umbrella because the petals look like they have been flipped inside-out, facing away from the sun. Lamb’s ear and dusty miller are two plants with a velvet-like texture and a faded green appearance due to what looks like a light dusting of snow or frost. In fact, dusty miller is one of my favorite plants aesthetically as it creates a whimsical appearance in a garden. By mentioning peculiar plants, this tanka...

...conflicted person I don’t like to be part of drama or start drama with others especially when is unnecessary. I can say I’m in a good place right now. 7. A loss of the ability to worry. (This is a very serious symptom.) I do tend to worry about certain things but I don’t let that interfere with my life if I know a situation has a solution I know that it would just take time to resolve it. 8. Frequent, overwhelming episodes of appreciation. I appreciate what others do for me and the little things for instance, if I need help with something I appreciate when someone takes their time to help me. I appreciate what my family does for me and appreciate their sacrifices. 9. Contented feelings of connectedness with others and nature. I think being connected with nature is really important because I appreciate more my surroundings and respect nature. Also I feel that building connections with others is also important because I’m able to develop a bond and a friendship with that person. Also being connected with my family allows us to appreciate each other and have a stable home. 10. Frequent attacks of smiling. I feel that a smile goes a long way, if I’m able to make someone smile that makes me happy or vice versa if someone makes me smile that just changes my whole day and be more positive. 11.

My hero, my father, my role model, a man who taught me all the essentials to camping, someone who started a successful business from nothing, all while raising three crazy girls. Growing up my family spent every weekend at my camp building it from the ground up and enjoying the outdoors. Being a contractor he is good at building and fixing just about anything.

...Each group sees the process and product in a different way. Christo himself states at the beginning of the film that the excitement for him comes from dealing with the multiple engineers and construction workers as well as the multiple problems that come with constructing a work of such magnitude and scale. As the artist, Christo obviously appreciates the product and process, though his emphasis is that he cannot be in absolute control of the outcome due to many reasons, therefor the artwork almost takes on a shape of its own in his eyes. The construction workers themselves see the process itself as a pain, though when the project is finished they all appreciate its beauty due to all of the work that they have put into the project. This shows that they cannot appreciate the concept until the erection of the piece is finished. Contrary the foreman is objective because he had no direct involvement in the projects labor or idea. Lastly the golfers who have an almost isolated outside view only care about the final outcome and debate upon the concept rather than the work involved, due to the fact that they are too secluded to appreciate the labor. All these viewpoints come together to show a common theme that art can be viewed from many different standpoints due to involvement or opinion of the subject in view. This video has many viewpoints that are all somewhat different, and are all...

...China’s announcement to let the yuan float? Chinese Yuan/US Dollar Exchange Rate Index, July 2005-Nov 2011 Chinese government has declared its intention to let the yuan float on 19th June of 2010, and this will most likely result in the Yuan to appreciate as the Yuan is under-valued. This reform was of the Renminbi (RMB) exchange rate regime was to enhance its exchange rate flexibility. This announcement may seems dubious because China has long adopted a fixed exchange rate regime since 1994 in which the Chinese government has maintained a policy of intervening in currency markets to limit or halt the appreciation of its currency, the RMB, against the U.S. dollar and other currencies. Known as the world’s manufacturing factory, keeping such a policy will definitely make its exports relatively and comparably cheaper to other countries, especially United States. Similarly, this will also make U.S. exports to China much more expensive, than would occur under free market conditions. As such, if China allows its yuan to float and appreciate, it may lose its competitive position as it may suffer a loss in sales of its exports due to its goods being relatively more expensive to foreign buyers. China’s announcement to let its yuan appreciate was credible because earlier on, the yuan actually appreciated 17.5 percent the U.S. dollar between July 21 2005 to July 21, 2008. In July 21, 2008 China has stopped its Yuan appreciation. It cited economic weakness due to the impacts of a rising...

...feels bad for turtles when they are butchered for he has “such a heart too” (Hemingway 36-7) Santiago and Dillard’s character are both teachers, Santiago teaching the boy to fish, and the latter is an academic teacher. They have spent their lives learning, and now that they have completed educations and are passing on knowledge to a younger generation, they have a deeper insight to nature. They can focus their energies on observing things that may seem arbitrary such as sea turtles or brightly colored leaves. This focus is also expressed when Santiago describes young men who regard the sea as a “contestant...or even as an enemy” (Hemingway 30). The younger men have a more brutal relationship with the sea, and although they may appreciate it, they appreciate it in a way that someone may respect the strength of their opponent in a fight. Aged and experienced, Santiago has a more understanding relationship with the ocean, and “works with the sea,” letting it aid him as he sails (Out Too Far 81). Neither is necessarily the more correct way to fish and work with nature, but the way that Santiago fishes is with an attitude that expresses his understanding of the ocean from years of working with it. When he describes the careful techniques he uses to fish it can be insinuated that he feels like he has an “insider” view on the way that the ocean works compared to the newer methods of...
