The mind sleeps both at night and during the day and conversely it does not just simply shut off during sleep, but instead performs vital physiologic and cognitive functions during sleep. REM sleep and dreams may help to down-regulate disturbing emotions. Portions of NRFM sleep may help to select memories that will be passed onto to REM for sorting and then long term storage. Unlike other sleep scientists Cartwright never neglected the role of dreams in the theory of the 24 hour Mind.

...Running head: RACIALIZED REPRESENTATIONS OF FEMALE BEAUTY 1 Racialized Representations of Female Beauty in Popular Culture (Name) University of New Mexico RACIALIZED REPRESENTATIONS OF FEMALE BEAUTY Racialized Representations of Female Beauty in Popular Culture 2 For the past 22 years People magazine has composed a list of the 50 most beautiful people. The list typically includes movie and television stars, musicians, British royalty, models, and television personalities. Every year the magazine crowns the year’s “most beautiful” and features them on the cover. Of the 22 most beautiful 19 have been women and out of the 19 women 16 have been White. This signals to People’s readers that beautiful means White and everything else does not equate beauty. However, this is not unique to People or even magazines like it, but instead represents a larger trend that is present in all forms of Western popular culture. In the various mediums of popular culture, ideologies about female beauty are exceedingly prevalent and constantly managed and reproduced. These ideologies carry with them the notion that in order to obtain ideal female beauty one must be very thin, young, have long hair, and wear expensive or revealing clothing (Stern, 2004). In addition to this there is also a raced definition of beauty, which predominates Western popular culture and dictates that White women with light hair and eye color can only attain true beauty. By looking closely at fashion magazines...

...ambitious international cooperations and has seen populations asking for more protectionism. In the Middle East, dictatorial regimes have been ousted by the revolutionary ‘Arab Spring’ and the newly formed governments are trying to find a way between global exchange and Islamic tradition. During these difficult times, emerging countries from Asia, Latin America and Africa have increasingly asserted their newly found economic and financial power and demanded a bigger participation in world governance. The tsunami that struck Fukushima in Japan in March 2011 creating a nuclear accident has convinced many nations to reconsider their energy policy. Despite all of this, globalization, even though criticized, is still active. Firms are moving to the new emerging economies in order to capture the consumption appetite of the growing middle classes. It is still relevant and important to put together all aspects of global strategic management. This third edition is still about global firms and global management. Its objective remains to help undergraduate and graduate students, as well as company executives, to understand the main issues that companies and their managers confront when they ‘go global’ or ‘manage globally’, and to cope with these issues. Data have been updated and several new cases and examples added. At the end of each chapter there are now one or two new ‘Mini-Cases’ that students may discuss in class. The book...

...people were losing their jobs and became destitute. When the opportunity to come to the New World arose, many of the struggling people saw it as a way to start over and make their fortune in hope to alleviate the suffering in Europe. Beginning as early as thirty thousand years ago, during the Pre-Columbian Era, Americans came from Asia over a land bridge formed at the Bering Strait during the Ice Age. The new immigrants were gatherers and hunters, known as Native Americans, who reached a population perhaps as many as 100 million spread across Central and South America by the time the Europeans “discovered” the New World. Native Americans development of agriculture provoked new innovations and cultures that would influence America forever ("Study Notes - Free AP Notes," n.d.). During the Middle Ages, Europeans were ignorant to the existence of the Americas. Europeans became acclimated to an assortment of Asian goods including drugs, spices, perfume, and silk, however, key pathways to Asia were controlled by Muslim forces who forced European merchants to pay large amounts for their ways. European consumers distressed of the high Muslim prices demanded a less expensive, faster route to Asia....

This paper will explain what the WIPP site does and where WIPP is located. Will explain the birth of the program and why. Will explain what TRU waste is. Will explain what the process of disposal is from birth to the grave. Will show what the public has to say about the program. Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) is the world's first underground repository licensed to safely and permanently dispose of TRU waste left from the research and production of nuclear weapons. After more than 20 years of scientific study, public input, and regulatory struggles, WIPP began operations on March 26, 1999. Located in the remote Chihuahuan Desert of Southeastern New Mexico, about 30 miles east of Carlsbad, NM, project facilities include disposal rooms mined 2,150 feet underground in a 2,000-foot thick salt formation and have been stable for more than 200 million years. TRU waste is currently stored at sites nationwide. WIPP is the nation’s solution for permanently disposing...

... Until F.Taylor published his book 'Principles of scientific management' in which he laid down fundamental principles of large-scale manufacturing through assembly-line factories, good production was based mostly on the work of crafts. "Production efficiency methodology that breaks every action,job, or task into small and simple segments which can be easily analysed and taught. Introduced in the early 20th century, Taylorism (1) aims to achieve maximum job fragmentation to minimize skill requirements and job learning time, (2) separates execution of work from work-planning (3) separates direct labour from indirect labour (4) replaces rule of thumb productivity estimates with precise measurements, (5) introduces time and motion study for optimum job performance, cost accounting,tool and work station design and (6) makes possible payment-by-result method of wage determination.”1. ( reference). Application in industry scientific management methods a specially assembly-line factories made it possible to mass production of goods. Many products previously inaccessible for a mass audience, such as for example cars have become available. The most famous example of the application of scientific management is cars production in the Ford factories in early twenty centuries. The methods used in the Ford factories were called Fordism. The use of scientific methods of management in practice, have also had the effect on the course and outcome of World War II. 2. ( reference). ...

...striving to find answers to them in the textbook Business Ethics by Denis Collins. The first two chapters come down to the practice of ethics in the workplace. In chapter one of the textbook, the first question that starts to find an answer is what is the right thing to do? Starting with an ethical dilemma that seems viable on page three, a small company faces buying a design that might increase sales, but show support for a criminal that has become an antihero. This raises questions about what is ethical on many moral standards. Does the business wish to show solidarity with the community? Should that be a guiding factor in the businesses conduct? Should profits be the deciding factor in behavior, if the behavior is legal? This case study shows that the right thing to do is not always the easy thing to do. The definition of the right thing can become a murky issue. The question needs analyzed and understanding what the implication of acting or not acting will be when faced with a dilemma. Unfortunately, there seem to be more questions than answers. Certainly more complicated than the definition of ethics given on page five. “Ethics is the set of principles a person uses to determine whether an action is good or bad” (Collins, 2012. p5) On page four Collins points out one of the best definitions for ethics in business. “Service to others, one of the most admirable ethical standards, is at the heart of business operations” (Collins, 2012. p4). The sentiment of serving...

...even go to the wrong court. These are just a few things that can ruin someone’s life or the decent name of a state. Below are just a few examples of the injustice that goes on in America. Trails and Verdicts Court cases can be very complicated. Depending on the severity of the crime will dictate if it is a federal court case or state court case. Besides trying to figure out what kind of court case it is there are multiple variables that can determine the outcome of the case. Sometimes people will take a plea bargain instead of going through with the court hearing process and some people actually get wrongfully accused of crimes that commit. Even if some gets wrongfully accused they can still be trailed and found guilty for the crimes they did not even commit. Boston Marathon Bombing On April 15, 2013 a very tragic event happened in the United States. A man named Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and his brother planted bombs at the finish line of the Boston Marathon. As people started finishing the marathon the brother set the bombs off killing three people, leaving seventeen people legless, and wounding over another two hundred and forty more. The cause of these young men wanting to do what they did has been identified, as they were Islamic terrorists from the Middle East. With the charges that Dzhokhar was being faced with put him in a federal court hearing in the state of Massachusetts. Dzhokhar was being trailed as a domestic terrorist and eventually he was sentenced to death. The...

...Bilingual Education and the Success of Boston’s Latino Youth The success of Latino students in the Boston Public School system is undoubtedly and inextricably linked to the success of the district, in partnership with state government, combining both proven and innovative strategies in delivering English language instruction to the city’s students. At 43% of total enrollment, Latino students are the largest and fastest-growing demographic in Boston Public Schools (Handy). And while a majority of Latino students speak English proficiently, census records show that in the City of Boston half of all Latinos were born outside of the United States; 30% of Latinos in the Boston Public School system are English Language Learners (Uriarte, Chen, and Kala 9), and, not surprisingly, the majority (57% in 2012) of Boston’s students classified as Limited English Proficient, speak Spanish (Uriarte). Simply put, there is no way to ensure that schools are working to the best capacity for the district’s largest ethnic group without also ensuring that proper systems are in place to educate English Language Learners, who are disproportionately Latino. Unfortunately, this has not always been the easiest of tasks, and a ballot initiative of over a decade ago would come to undermine much of the needed progress in the Boston Public Schools. November 5, 2002 may seem like a distant memory for some, but on that day, the result of that year’s election would come to have a resounding impact on Massachusetts’...
