...Topic: Write a paragraph about “Qualities of a good neighbor” There are many attributes to a good neighbor, but i will highly appreciate the one who is helpful , sympathetic and honest. First of all, a person with the quality of helpfulness will be put on top of my list of desirable neighbors. It is a fact that all of us have our own difficulties and nothing is more meaningful than a hand given to us in time of need. For instance, when you are busy organizing a get-together with all members in your family but the fact that you have forgotten to purchase one of the most important ingredients threatens to ruin your main dish. However, you can easily have the neighbors to travel to the market and buy it for you. That’s an accurate picture of a helpful neighbor who you should be grateful to. Furthermore, a kind neighbor from my point of view would have the quality of sympathy. Having someone to care about you and share their feelings with you is necessary when you are experiencing a tough time in life . For example, a nice neighbor to a widow who has just lost her husband in a terrible accident must help her to overcome with grief. There may be cases where there are children whose their parents got dirvoced. In such cases, a good neighbor is required to treat them equally to other kids instead of gossiping anything about them. In addition to helpfulness and sympathy, a neighbor who possess a sense of integrity would be perfect. I can endure the fact that there are some two-faced...

...Neighbors are part of our daily lives. They are part of the process of socialization. Socialization is the process in which we interact with other people. In our lives, we are always trying to look for a good area to live, a nice house and most important of all good neighbors. In my opinion, a good neighbor should be respectful, friendly and helpful. The first quality of good neighbors is that they should be friendly. The way to be friendly is showing their care about you, and they should welcome you to their neighborhood. Neighbors are those people we meet every day when we go in and out of our houses. A nice and sincere smile on their faces, or a simple 'hello' as a warm greeting on the way, may bring us a joyful mood for a start of a day. Nice neighbors will provide us a very comfortable living environment through their care and friendship. For example, in 2011 I moved to town house in Alexandria we had a moving truck parked in front of our house as soon as we open the door to unload the furniture an old guy and lady came in and introduce there selves and they said my name is William Macmahon and my wife is Karen and we are your new neighbors with big smile. They asked if he can help us to unload the furniture from the truck and they insisted to help. After they helped us unloading, his wife Karen went back to the house and offered us a welcoming gift classic homemade pie that she cooked it for us was delicious. They were such a friendly people. William told me about the...

...about two neighbors that had different thoughts of why or why not there should be a wall in between thier properties. Between natures courses, the trees, rain, animals, and even hunters, every spring Frost has to repair the wall and his neighbor helps him, even though his neighbor feels it is unnessary to seperate the properties. As time goes by, thet eventully start bonding throughout every spring. Frost refers to "as something there is that doesn't love a wall", the wall should not be there in the first place, seperating we as people, the wall needs to come down. To build a lasting relationship while still possesed with discrimination and hatred, toward his neighbor, towards mother nature, and god's creatures. No matter how nice the wall is fixed up. Between the mixure of the rain and sun, the suns rays spills over the wall causing damage. As the damge to the wall is already done and noticed, the two neighbors are literelly putting the stones back, one by one. Frost and his neighbor that lives behind the hill, finally end up taking a walk to discuss the reaccuring damage to the wall and how they might beable to protect it . Their dedication, commitment, and determination to fix the problems, with their differences set aside. As these two neighbors spend time together discussing how to keep this wall intact, they are sharing an expierence that is taking place. A friendship is slowly forming as they work together as neighbors to "mend the wall". Frost's neighbor has his belief...

...Clean Air Act (CAA) created a federal and state partnership with the objective to control air pollution in the United States. Under the CAA the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is required to establish air quality standards and also grants states substantial freedom to implement plans in order to meet those standards. Assuredly, the CAA is a momentous and notable cause, but the act itself is challenged with several problems, such as the possible spread of air pollution. Air pollution itself is a multifaceted problem and does not observe state boundaries. For example, smokestack emissions from a coal-fired power plant in one state can contribute to pollution problems in another, downwind state hundreds of miles away. Further complicating the problem, most upwind states emit pollutants to more than one downwind state, many downwind states receive pollution from multiple upwind states, and some states qualify as both upwind and downwind. Moreover, the impact of air pollution is not confined to just the air, for what goes up must come down, meaning air pollutant’s will inevitably be deposited on the ground where they are washed into rivers, lakes, and streams....

...of a manufacturing facility is a bit of an unknown for the local people. As such, we need to ensure that we are viewed in the best was possible to the nation, and to the people of this country. As such, below, I have outlined a strategic plan designed to make ABM profitable, while maintaining a high level of ethics, and being viewed as a “good neighbor and business partner” of the people and government of Guatemala. CORPORATE STRATEGIES: Maintain high quality and expectations: by manufacturing high quality, low cost, just in time electric tools that enhance our enterprise value. Make our partners (Guatemala) successful: through collaborative, trusted relationships and partnerships, assisting the government of Guatemala with increased revenue streams, narrowing the trade deficit and assisting with the creation of private financial operations. Take care of our people: by providing a safe, clean, and enabling work environment; secured by on-staff security detail, offering educational opportunities, including general schooling, staff and managerial training and allowing for the personal development of individuals. Be a good neighbor: supporting the local community of San Jose City in any reasonable and ethical way possible, to include but not limited to infrastructural improvements (roads, water access, food access, etc.), organized activities for...

...In spring, the two meet to walk the wall and jointly make repairs. The speaker sees no reason for the wall to be kept—there are no cows to be contained, just apple and pine trees. He does not believe in walls for the sake of walls. The neighbor resorts to an old adage: “Good fences make good neighbors.” The speaker remains unconvinced and mischievously presses the neighbor to look beyond the old-fashioned folly of such reasoning. His neighbor will not be swayed. The speaker envisions his neighbor as a holdover from a justifiably outmoded era, a living example of a dark-age mentality. But the neighbor simply repeats the adage. The image at the heart of “Mending Wall” is arresting: two men meeting on terms of civility and neighborliness to build a barrier between them. They do so out of tradition, out of habit. Yet the very earth conspires against them and makes their task Sisyphean. Sisyphus, you may recall, is the figure in Greek mythology condemned perpetually to push a boulder up a hill, only to have the boulder roll down again. These men push boulders back on top of the wall; yet just as inevitably, whether at the hand of hunters or sprites, or the frost and thaw of nature’s invisible hand, the boulders tumble down again. Still, the neighbors persist. The poem, thus, seems to meditate conventionally on three grand themes: barrier-building (segregation, in the broadest sense of the word), the doomed nature of this enterprise, and our persistence in this activity regardless....

...The concept of public goods is goods are consumed by households who do not pay for them however they do receive the benefit of the good. Another concept of a public good is one household’s consumption of the good does not reduce the amount which is left over for the consumption of the other households. The cost of extending service to an additional person is zero for public goods and it is impossible to exclude individuals from enjoying. Some examples of public goods are the Emergency Alert System, street lightening for roads and highways, flood control systems, radio broadcasts, free to air television, air, and national defense. I believe the examples of public goods described above could never be extended a cost to the public for usage. It is literally impossible to bill for the services due to the free rider problem. There is no way to stop a person who would refuse to pay for the services from using and benefiting from the service just as much as a person who would agree to pay. In addition, it would be unreasonable to expect an individual to contribute when there is no way to stop another person from utilizing the same good for free. Another view would be if a person was required to pay for public goods the goods would have to be produced in ways consumers would recognize the value solely for them. Public goods are known to have greater importance in urban areas and high-density communities. The role I think public goods should play in cities and urbanized areas are...

...scamming will also be discussed. The impacts that this work ethic will have on the future of American business will also be considered. Describe how typical the attitudes that Sheehy reports appear to be in work environments you have experienced. I have been with my company for 23 years. I am intricately involved in the hiring process. During the first year of employment, the attendance of employees is looked at very seriously. We set this expectation before the employees sign their name on the dotted line. Our retention ratio due to attendance issues is about 75%. These new employees study the handbook with diligence and find every possible loophole to their benefit. The mindset is not to work as hard as they can and do a good job, it is to do the least they can to get by. Instead of being grateful for the great benefits the company offers, they complain about having to be called in when necessary. There is no more the thought that they will make a career with a great company, but it is just used as a method to pay the bills and if this doesn’t work out, they will go somewhere else. We are in the customer service environment and the philosophy, “The customer is always right” is very difficult to get the new hires to embrace. They feel if the customer is rude to them or if the customer continues to ask them the same question over and over again, they have the right to get an attitude with the customer. I believe though that part of this is the home training...

...As Good As It Gets is a movie about a pessimistic, homophobic, obsessive-compulsive novelist, Melvin, who forms an ironic friendship with his gay artist neighbor. Melvin also falls in love with a waitress who is also the only one who can tolerate his obsessive compulsiveness and generally hateful attitude towards everyone. The movie follows and focuses on the unlikely pairing of the three, the obsessive-compulsive novelist, the single working mother, and the gay artist, as they set out on a road trip together. As Good As It Gets was a good choice for writing a sociological essay over as it covers many different issues, including healthcare, poverty, sexuality and homosexuality. Sexuality and homosexuality is a big theme in this movie. Homosexuality...

It includes my two proposed approaches in the field of clustering, my learn lessons in class and my comment on this class. The report’s outline is as following: Part I: Proposed approaches 1. Introduction and backgrounds 2. Related works and motivation 3. Proposed approaches 4. Evaluation method 5. Conclusion Part II: Lessons learned 1. Data preprocessing 2. Frequent pattern and association rule 3. Classification and prediction 4. Clustering Part III: My own comments on this class. I. Proposed approach • An incremental subspace-based K-means clustering method for high dimensional data • Subspace based document clustering and its application in data preprocessing in Web mining 1. Introduction and background High dimensional data clustering has many applications in real world, especially in bioinformatics. Many well-known clustering algorithms often use a whole-space distance score to measure the similarity or distance between two objects, such as Euclidean distance, Cosine function... However, in fact, when the dimensionality of space or the number of objects is large, such whole-space-based pairwise similarity scores are no longer meaningful, due to the distance of each pair of object nearly the same [5]. ...

...cluster j such that link[i,j] is non-zero. The clusters j in q[i] are ordered in the decreasing order of the goodness measure with respect to I, g(i,j). In addition to the local heaps q[i] for each cluster I, the algorithm also maintains an additional global heap q that contains all the clusters. Furthermore, the clusters in q are ordered in the decreasing order of their best goodness measures. Thus, g(j, max(q[j])) is used to order the various clusters j in q, where max(q[j]), the max element in q[j], is the best cluster to merge with cluster j. At each step, the max cluster j in q and the max cluster q[j[ are the best pair of clusters to be merged. Example program in R is as follows: For every point, after computing a list of its neighbors, the algorithm considers all...

...India AHEAD Ten Things for India to Achieve its 2050 Potential (BRICS estimation) >India could be 40 times bigger by 2050. > India could be 40 times bigger by 2050 than its current capacity as estimated by brics. >To achieve this, India needs to implement many changes. India needs to improve its governance, control inflation, introduce Credible fiscal policy, liberalize financial markets and increase trade With its neighbors. >It also needs to significantly raise its basic educational standards, And increase the quality and quantity of its universities. >India needs to boost agricultural productivity, improve its infrastructure And environmental quality. >Delivery of all these would ensure strong, persistent, medium to long-term Growth, allowing India to reach its amazing potential. In this project, we outline ten crucial steps that we believe India must take in order to achieve its full potential. In our latest brics analysis, India scores below the Other three BRIC nations, and is currently ranked 110 out of a set of 181 Countries. If India were able to undertake the necessary reforms, it could raise its growth potential by as much as 2.8% per annum, placing it in a very strong position to deliver the impressive growth. We highlight the ten key areas where reform is needed. In a way these are the covered ones, we consider them to be the most crucial: 1. Improve governance. Without better governance, delivery systems and effective...

...it’s the quality or state of being beneficent or producing or doing something good. Beneficence is a duty, according to Wikipedia, He who often practices this, and sees his beneficent purpose succeed, comes at last really to love him whom he has benefited. When, therefore, it is said, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself," this does not mean, "Thou shalt first of all love, and by means of love (in the next place) do him good"; but: "Do good to thy neighbour, and this beneficence will produce in thee the love of men (as a settled habit of inclination to beneficence)." There are four elements of beneficence which a; One should not practice evil or do harm; one should prevent evil or harm; one should remove evil or harm; and one should practice good. As for me, I think I did something good when I was a child until now. Every day of my life I at least did one good to other person. I also did good to my neighbor, friends, family, classmates and other peers whom I had interactions for example I did good to the person because I just want to or he/she did good to me in the first place. I didn’t practice evil yet I commit sins and also didn’t harm others for I don’t want others harm me. I did evil things and harm others but I prevented doing it to others by thinking it twice before doing what’s on my mind. For what evil I’ve done, I remove it by praying to God and beg for His mercy to forgive. As to the harms that I’ve done to other people, I apologize to them. I do good and practice...
