...Imagine a world where everything from pay, to health benefits are always unfair, due to gender. Well, that’s the world that Carli Lloyd is currently living in. Carli Lloyd is a U.S women’s soccer player who strongly believes that everyone should be treated equally no matter what gender they belong to. After being on the women's team for 12 years, she has experienced gender inequality in every way, and she will continue do whatever she can to fight for women’s rights, so that young girls around the world won’t have to experience the hardships of being mistreated. First of all, Carli lloyd stated, “It had everything to do with what’s right and what’s fair, and with upholding a fundamental American concept: equal pay for equal play. Even if you are female.” Evidently, Carli is right about the unfair wage gap between the men and women’s team, especially since Carli and her teammates, play just as much and just as hard as the men soccer team players. There shouldn’t be a wage gap especially if men and women are doing the same job just as well. Secondly, Lloyd also claimed, “The top five players on the men’s team make an average of $406,000 each year from these games. The top five women are guaranteed only $72,000 each year.” There is a 334,000 dollar wage gap between the two...

...portion of what their clients actually need (Ramos & Mohd Ali, 2005). Collaboration is widely recognized as the best way for libraries to cope with the ever increasing challenges: volume of information resources; nature and quality of information; user needs and expectations; information and communication technology competencies and infrastructure; inflated cost of information resources; and staffing needs. However, although these challenges have continued to prevail, libraries working under collaborative initiatives like the Consortium of Academic and Research Libraries in Illinois (CARLI) have registered tremendous success. This thesis reports the findings of a thorough study to establish the factors that have led to the success of CARLI and how such success factors can be applied in libraries of developing countries like Uganda. Emphasis is placed on the establishment of CARLI leadership, the sharing of responsibility and decision making processes as well as sources of funding for the consortium. Also central to the research study is exploration of the role and responsibility of participating member libraries and their contributions to and expectations from the consortium. I contend that lack of funding to facilitate consortium activities is not the central factor in the failed progress of the planned consortium activities in Uganda, rather it is the lack of committed leadership and cooperation among participating libraries that is responsible for the lack...

...The Empowerment of the Future of Women “Whatever women do they must do twice as well as men to be thought half as good. Luckily, this is not difficult”, Charlotte Whitton (The Soul Sisters). Hilary Clinton, Sarah Palin, and Oprah Winfrey are just a few names who have taken women leadership to the next level. But why does progress still seem to be a struggle for other women? Men seem to be dominating the political world in the U.S., and females seem to be striving to be the next powerhouses, but their professional image seems to be standing in the way of their future. Although women have made significant progress in obtaining low level leadership positions, their professional image continues to prevent them from receiving these same positions in higher forms. Political standards for future female candidates have become increasingly difficult to fulfill. The claim made for women not obtaining these higher level positions is simply because women are “less hierarchical, more cooperative and collaborative, and more oriented increasing other’s self-worth” (Eagly, pg. 2). Candidates for the job must be “likeable and tough” (Braude), which is seemingly become more and more difficult for female leaders these days when men are strong participants with these characteristics. When one wants to put a female and a male in a rink together, who would come out on top? The obvious choice would be the male, but it is not time to give a female the chance? The opportunity for women leaders...

...Women and their route to success: could the barriers be completely broken down? Ginna Munoz Molloy College Abstract Undoubtedly women have made extraordinary strides from the standpoint of their careers. It is now possible to see a woman running companies and occupying the most prestigious positions worldwide. However, the representation of women in business is still low in comparison with men. On one hand, many researches provide evidences of the existence of different types of discrimination against women, and on the other hand, some studies show a positive and promising panorama for women. Nowadays, women are seen as the core of the economy and it is possible that within a generation a majority of working wives will outearn their husbands. These researches provide solid foundations to think that the barriers affecting women negatively could be broken. Nevertheless, the most value stride women can achieve is to change the vision about themselves so that new female generations grow without the stereotypes that currently prevent them from succeeding. Women and their route to success: could the barriers be completely broken down? Over recent decades women have made clear strides professionally. Today it is possible to see women performing in fields and taking on positions previously blocked for them. Nevertheless, the representation of women in the business world is still very small in comparison with that of men. There is evidence that women continue to face barriers...

...The Ball Matters In the final game of the 2015 Women’s Fifa World Cup, Carli Lloyd did the unthinkable, a hat trick at minute 15:05 from the center circle. While watching the game, the hair on my arms was standing on end, my eyes glued to the TV screen. I was holding my breathe, although I didn’t realize this until the soaring ball had cleared the goal. Carli Lloyd has a tremendous amount of talent and skill, and the condition of the ball contributed to this success. The characteristics of a soccer ball - including the material, inflation, and condition - affect the quality of play. In soccer, the material of the ball impacts what the player can achieve at their feet. There are two main types, Polyvinyl Carbonate (PVC) and Polyurethane (PU)....

...The Function of Psychotherapy in Italian Mental Health Services Rivista di Psicologia Clinica n.2 – 2011 114 Let’ s look back at Giovanna’s Case 2. Here, early diagnosis of depression, first assumed as a problem to be dealt with by a single psychologist, converted later into a relational dynamic involving SPDC and two psychiatrists from CMH. An interesting aspect is that the service tried different ways to keep up the relationship with the patient despite her frequent attacks, and did it by reorganizing its early plans. This aspect can be further explored by revisiting the different phases of the intervention starting from the admission. As we have already said, Giovanna is 31 years old and approaches a CMH following her aunt’s advice, who has noticed she's depressed. The nurse notes down that the reasons why this intervention is requested for are bereavement and weight loss. Ten days later, during her first interview with the trainee psychologist, Giovanna talks about her malaise as a result of breaking up with her boyfriend Roberto. He doesn't accept anymore Giovanna’s behaviours such as her continuous requests on assuring her about their relationship. The loss of both her parents adds to the problem of breaking up, her mother died three months before after a long illness and her father died six years ago by a stroke. Giovanna says that Roberto has supported her to get through and out of her losses and encouraged her to go out and get some distraction. She says she...

...In the reading about "Mental toughness key to Carli Lloyd's success" she talked about how she applies imagery. In the article is state " getting alone in a room, finding the moment, the big moment in the game, conjuring up scenarios that include the ball on her foot". This is great example of imagery. For Carli Lloyd I think this was psychoneuromuscual theory. Because she is imagining the exact moment the ball is on her foot and what it would be like to move her leg and feel her muscles moving exactly as she wishes. In the second article about "How Lionel Messi and Wayne Rooney think on the field" they also exemplified imagery traits. Their is a passage from the article that talks about a video of Messi " The German attack peters out, with...

...the authors have dealt with one of the most common clinical problem i.e. clamping of urinary catheter after hip surgery. Hip surgery is very common among the people of old age group especially above 75 years. Further, older women are more susceptible to hip fracture and commonly undergo hip injury (Johansson & Christensson, 2010). Bladder catheterization is a common clinical practice in surgeries. It helpful in monitoring urine output in patients. However, it is also associated with one of the major clinical problems, i.e. operative urinary retention (POUR). It can be defined as the inability of a patient to pass urine in spite of full bladder (Baldini, Bagry, Aprikian, & Carli, 2009). It is has been reported that patient of hip surgery are at higher risk of urinary retention (Balderi & Carli, 2010; Johansson & Christensson, 2010; Singh et al., 2010). In the case of hip replacement the incidence of POUR has been reported to be between 12- 84%. Similarly, in case of hip fracture the prevalence of POUR is 18% to 56% (Borghi et al., 2004; Oishi et al., 1995). The most effective intervention reported till date for reducing the risk of urinary retention is clamping of urinary catheter. The main objective of this paper was to investigate the efficacy of clamping of urinary catheter through randomized controlled trial in patients undergone hip surgery for fracture. Title: The title of the present article seems incomplete. The feature of a good title is that it should...

...years older than me comforted me as much as she could. The fighting went on and on and I imagined it would be this way for a while. My dad ended up moving into my grandparent’s house in an effort to fix things with my mom. He offered to attend counseling with her because despite everything that happened he still loved her with every ounce of his body that he could. My mom wanted nothing to do with counseling, she was just done, leaving my dad continuously wondering what he did wrong and how in the world he was losing such a woman as my mom. My sister, my mom and I moved to the west side of Wichita and moved in with another family that we knew from the dance studio that we had all danced at our whole life. Their names were Christi, Cami and Carli....

...Institutional Racism Abstract Many people associate racism with bigoted individuals and radical groups on the borders of society. Shirley Better argues that racism is much larger than negative attitudes and that it touches the very core of our lives as Americans. In this paper we will discuss the model of institutional racism and different aspects of it. Introduction Institutional racism is a special form of racism. It received its name because it occurs in institutions, such as governmental and public organizations, commercial companies, educational establishments, etc. As opposed to individual racism, or some other forms of racism, institutional racism is unique in terms of being more open to the public. While other forms of racism occur between individuals or groups of individuals outside workplace or another institution, people involved in institutional racism express their discriminatory attitudes literally in front of the eyes of the public or members of the institution, although they might try doing it secretly. “Racism persists because dominant groups are unwilling to acknowledge, let alone give up, the benefits of whiteness. Through numerous examples, Institutional Racism demonstrates how inequality and racial exclusion are embedded within the fabric of American society. Better explores how racism has restricted equal access to educational opportunities, employment, and housing, and she considers the influence of racism in the criminal justice...

Rome is a great city were many people stay the top religion is Christianity - Judaism - Islam. Caption describing picture or graphic. Caption describing picture or graphic. Great holidays Great holidays Kalends – March 1 Originally this was the day to re-kindle the perpetual fire representing the life of Rome at the Temple of the Vestals. Fresh laurels were hung on public buildings. At the same time it was festival to Mars with dances of the priestly college (Salii) continuing for nineteen days. The dancers held sacred shields during the ceremony and dined out at a different house each night. These multiple festivals to Mars make sense not just because the month, Martius, was named for him, but also because this was the time of year when the soldiers were called up for the year's campaigns. Goverment Goverment (GOVERNMENT) Rome is governed by a city council with eighty members included. Every member has a 4-year term, and only one member is elected mayor. Eighteen of those members are elected to the City Executive Comitee. 15 apartments direct the city's affairs and needs: Health, markets, public works, and transportation. Since Rome is the national capital, it holds the seat for the Italian government (national govt.). It runs the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of Italy itself. (GOVERNMENT)...

...Final Project Problems & Challenges Facing Women in Achieving Executive Positions Regina Sykes Kaplan University GB520 Strategic Human Resources Management Prof: Susan Pettine 03/04/2013 TOPIC Are women still facing challenges of achieving executive positions? Although there seems to be a shifting in numbers in the workforce this question is still relevant. When looking across the number of companies that exist in the U.S.A. and the makeup of the workforce there still seem to be an imbalance in number of women in executive positions. Women make up 47% of the workforce, however less than 15% are in executive positions (Starvish, 2012). This research paper will take a dive into variables and challenges a company faces when working to increase the number of women in executive positions. This paper will help to define the approach to researching the obstacles that are faced by women and the companies that could potentially employ them in executive positions. Lastly, this paper will identify those key to providing a shift in what executives are believed to possess. Scope In an effort to provide readers with new information and insight into the challenges and problems that exist for women to attain an executive position several different credible sources will be leveraged, including Gartner search group, Harvard Business School, About.com and many other sources. By leveraging research that has already been conducted as well as reviewing information that...

...White-collar crime is a field that is dominated by men, as there is a greater tendency for men to partake in crime with other men (Steffensmeier et al. 2013:454). Gender differences in crime arise from different gendered focal concerns that are attributed to men and women. These focal concerns form social interactions by directing expectations of individuals to criminal behaviours and risk-taking (Steffensmeier et al. 2013:452). Gendered focal concerns that are ascribed to men include: dominance, risk-taking, status and autonomy. Subsequently, these focal concerns inspire motivational and circumstantial differences in crime that are gender specific (Steffensmeier et al. 2013:452). Thus, men engage in risk-taking behaviours for money, power...
