...unarmed at the time yet just hours later stories were circulating the media about a dramatic ‘shootout’ with Duggan represented as a ‘violent gangster’. Within just two days of his death, riots had erupted in London as well as copycat riots in other cities up and down the country and reported globally by the press. Before getting out of hand, the riots were a direct response to the actions of the police. Mark Duggan didn’t hit the front page until after the riots had begun and it is likely that, similar to the case of Stephen Lawrence, the audience will never fully know the reality of the initial event. The final inquest report (2014) ruled that the killing was lawful. Looking back on the newspaper and press coverage, how was Duggan mediated? This is the coverage of Mark Duggan’s death on the Daily Mail Online webpage. It was posted in the early hours of 5th August and is a prime example of how mediation can change the image of a person. The photograph used by the Daily Mail is a close up shot depicting Duggan ‘making a gun symbol with his fingers’. This picture was chosen for...

...Introduction The aim of this study is to see whether gum affects concentration while under test conditions. Research has shown that chewing gum does increase a person’s concentration. This study is being carried out because previous reports have I fact shown that gum has a positive effect on concentration levels. It is known that in most schools students aren’t allowed to chew gum during class; if reports have shown gum has positive effects , then the rule of students not being allowed to chew gum during class should be removed, as the gum will benefit both the student and the teacher. Both the Daily Mail and the Daily Express covered the story, with the Mail reporting that, "Chomping on gum is good for the brain and can boost alertness by 10%." This study concluded that chewing gum may improve reaction in healthy adults in a specific computerized cognitive task. The chewing motion gets blood flowing to the head, researchers suggest it’s the part of the head where memory is improved. Onyper (2004) tested 224 undergraduates from St. Lawrence University, dividing them into three groups. One chewed gum before and during the test, another chewed gum for five minutes before being tested and a third didn't chew anything. The researchers then gave them a battery of tests to determine their brainpower. Researchers think improvement in brainpower is because the chewing warms up the brain, this phenomenon is called “mastication-induced arousal”. So the act of chewing wakes you up and makes...

...Francis Edwards, Jr., 15, have been charged as adults with first-degree murder of Australian baseball player Christopher Lane, 22. And another teen named Michael Dewayne Jones, 17, was also charged, but with using a vehicle in the discharge of a weapon and with accessory to first-degree murder because he drove the getaway car. The motive given for this senseless and vicious act was that the teens were “bored” and did it for the “fun of it.” From this case it would seem that the youth is losing their minds, or just “running amuck,” because the sad truth is this is not an isolated incident, and this is not a new phenomenon. There are many examples of teens throughout the years to the present taking it to this extreme. Preparing for this assignment wasn’t that difficult being that all I had to do was look at the news, social media, or walk down the street. Disturbing behavior of teens is all over the place to the seemingly minor rudeness of a teen on the corner, or to the extreme of murder as with the Christopher Lane case. The purpose of this paper is to identify a disturbing behavior not mentioned in our textbook by Professor Dr. Lee Vukich and Professor Dr. Steve Vandegriff, “Disturbing Behavior: 53 Alarming Trends of Teens and how to Spot Them.” The Disturbing behavior that I identified for the purpose of this paper is “Smoking Alcohol.” II. Disturbing behavior: smoking ALCOHOL Growing up in the 80s and 90s there was a clear distinction between smoking drugs, such...

...dealings with the company money. 1. The person who opens the mail should not prepare a list of checks received. This list should be prepared so that it can later be compared with the daily cash summary. While this procedure does not assure that all checks will be listed, it does allow the company to verify that all checks on the list did get deposited. Which is essential to make sure employees don’t try to fraud the company. 2. Only one person employed by your company should open the mail. When this occurs, there is no guarantee that all incoming checks are forwarded to the cashier’s department. 3. The cashier should be the only person allowed to open the mail. Under this procedure it is possible for the cashier to open the mail, prepare the cash summary and make the bank deposit. This involves no segregation of duties as the cashier controls the cash from the time it is received until it is deposited in the bank. 4. The accounts receivable clerk is allowed to open the mail. In this case, there is poor segregation of duties because the clerk could write off a customer’s account as uncollectible and then misappropriate the collection when it’s received. 5. Mail receipts should be deposited weekly. If you continue to take the approach on not make daily deposits this makes the receipts vulnerable to robbery and to misappropriation the receipts should be deposited intact daily. Hopefully these few suggestions will help you increase your...

...hire had come into the company and it was the coordinators job to notify the facilitator of the new hire and set up the start date. This message is conveyed through either e-mail or face to face interaction. In this case, the sender of the message was the coordinator and the receiver was the facilitator. Because of the inexperience of the coordinator, the message of the new hire had never made it to the facilitator because the message was e-mailed. Facilitators do not always have access to e-mail. The new hire came into work and nobody knew of the person. The situation became a frantic mess. The schedule needed to be adjusted for line coverage during training and materials needed to be gathered for training. One of the problems was that facilitators do not have the opportunity to check e-mails on a daily basis because of their primary job on the shop floor. After speaking with the coordinator, this problem was resolved through an initial tour of the department. The coordinator now takes the new hires to meet face to face with the facilitator. What was learned in this case was which mode of communication works best for certain situations. Some communications only require e-mail or texts, but some messages are best conveyed through face to face interaction depending on the receiver’s situation. In the case of the facilitator, face to face communication would be best. The facilitator position is an as needed position and requires the person in the position to perform a job on the...

...entails every individual and organization associated with business. Business communication dilemmas arise everywhere. In some cases, employees or management somehow forget to distribute all information required for an organization function properly. Good business communication is about initiating associations and goodwill to produce a successful business. Business Communications Trends Paper People are required to communicate in order to arrange services and products. For example, communication is used to employ, prepare, and encourage personnel as well as to organize and deliver products and merchandise (Locker & Keinzler, 2008). It is also used to persuade consumers to purchase merchandise and for employees to charge consumers for the sale. Service and information is generated and distributed by communication. Business communication is rather dissimilar from other kinds of communication considering the intention of a business is to acquire profit. However, for a business to produce financial gain the communicator must cultivate excellent communication skills. Message Types In every business, communication is the method individuals get their subject across and get business completed. Communication is presented in numerous forms such as casual reunions, e-mail communications, telephone conversations, text messaging, presentations, memorandums, mail correspondence and also by networking (Locker &...

...Analysis This memorandum has been written to outline the current threats facing the XYZ Private Investigation LLP and possible mitigation steps for them. The Cyber Security Analysis was requested and approved by John Smith and the areas reviewed were the production server, client workstations and the web server. Each of these areas were carefully looked at, in some cases employee follow-ups were made to prior complaints and a derivative of the top five threats were documented. The first area of concern is the production server used on a daily basis by your organization and contains vital information to your organization, as well as confidential and personal information about your clients. This server would be an attacker’s main target as it is the central location for data that could prove to be fruitful to an attacker. This area of concern was examined and the top five threats identified were virus protection, backdoor vulnerabilities, system updates and/or patching, physical security and logical security. Production Server The production server is generally a server that runs many crucial services for the daily operations of the network to include active directory and domain name services to name a few. Therefore by not having antivirus software on this system it can be a potential hazard to not only the services, by the data being stored here. Antivirus software today helps protect systems again malicious attacks by Worms, Viruses, and even Trojan’s. Users have complained...

...Today’s communication methods are various and sometimes complex. Everything from paper and pens to computer communication systems, modern communication has come a long way since our parents’ days. We can take our phones with us and keep up on current events like the recent earthquake in Japan, or check our electronic mail, talk to someone from around the world, and even get information on ourselves. In the communication era we are so connected to the rest of society that we almost never stop communicating to someone. Healthcare uses a lot of different communication channels. We have focused on verbal vs. non-verbal, EMR and e-mail. Verbal communication is a major factor in an office setting, weather it is in the health care industry or any other office setting. Before a health care worker performs any medical procedure or care task with a patient, it's important they use verbal communication to inform the patient. This allows the patient to know what to expect. Verbal communication can also be used by the patient to inform the health care worker how they are feeling, what concerns they have and any other questions the patient may have. Non-verbal communication in the health care setting comes from eyes, hands and other parts of the body. Providing eye contact, not crossing the arms and leaning in when talking to a patient are non-verbal ways to communicate you care. Non-verbal communication is usually understood as the process of sending and receiving wordless message....
