Nasima Khanom Barriers to Communication: There are three main ways in which communication can become blocked: Ways of overcoming barriers to communication: Visual disability: * Use conversation to describe things. * Help people to touch things (e.g. touch your face so that the person can recognise you). * Explain the detail-sighted people take for granted. * Check what people can see (many registered blind people can see shapes or tell the difference between light and dark). * Check that spectacles are being worn, if necessary, and that they are clean.

...implications? Before the 2009 financial crisis banks were conviced that they we're ｫ too big to fail ｻ Before the 2009 crisis, banks were conviced they were too important to fail in the sens that their importance in the market was such that the states could not afford to drop them. Indeed governements can't let any bank fail because of systemic risk and the need to maintain the confidence in the market and between banks. So the banks favored the short-term profitability without thinking of the long term consequences of their decisions because they were convinced they could not fall. The banks then took advantage of their importance and jeopardized the entire economy That's what Simon Johnson then explained by saying that 鄭nything that is too big to fail is too big to existｻ, The main lesson of this crisis is that it's no longer possible to leave as much power in those institutions, indeed it's essential to reduce their size and their influence on the economy so that no futher institution can be ｫtoo big to failｻ B. How is this concept related to Moral Hazard? Moral Hazard occurs ｫwhen a party insulated from risk behaves differently than it would behave if it were fully exposed to the riskｻ. In that definition of moral hazard the idea of risk is very present, so we can easily see how this concept is related to the financial system and the banks. Indeed Moral hazard is the idea that banks could take unnecessary risks because they believe they池e...

...No. 99-159C (Filed: July 13, 2001) __________ CENTEX CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, * INC., * * Plaintiff, * * v. * * THE UNITED STATES, * * Defendant. Summary Judgment; Contract Interpretation; FAR; Specifications and Drawings for Construction Clause; Detail in Drawing Held Part of Contract; Additional Compensation Denied __________ Gina M. Vitiello and Seth Price, Atlanta, Georgia, for plaintiff. Erin E. Powell, Civil Division, U.S. Department of Justice, Washington, D.C., with whom was Assistant Attorney General David W. Ogden, for defendant. ___________ OPINION __________ ALLEGRA, Judge: The basic issue in this case is whether the contract in question, to construct an addition to a Veteran=s Administration medical facility, required the installation of channel bracing in stud walls with door openings. If it did not, then plaintiff is entitled to additional compensation for ultimately having to install those braces; if the contract did so provide, then plaintiff is entitled to no compensation. After careful consideration of the briefs filed and the oral argument, and for the reasons discussed below, the court concludes that the contract required the channel bracing and, therefore, GRANTS defendant=s motion for summary judgment. I. Statement of Facts On or about September 30, 1993, the Department of Veterans Affairs (AVA@) entered into Contract No. V101DC0086 with Centex Construction Company, Inc.

Even though she already has a lover? Are you brave enough to say it? Or just hide it because of the fear of getting rejected? Chapter 1 TIFFANY's POV Yuri-ah! Where are you? You're late? I texted her like a gazillion times but i haven't received a reply. So I walked through the streets hoping she's any where near. I looked up my watch. "Oh my gosh!

...Investigating the presentation of speech, writing and thought in spoken British English: A corpus-based approach1 Dan McIntyre a, Carol Bellard-Thomson b, John Heywood c, Tony McEnery c, Elena Semino c and Mick Short c a Liverpool Hope University College, UK, b University of Kent at Canterbury, UK, c Lancaster University, UK Abstract In this paper we describe the Lancaster Speech, Writing and Thought Presentation (SW&TP2) Spoken Corpus. We have constructed this corpus to investigate the ways in which speakers present speech, thought and writing in contemporary spoken British English, with the associated aim of comparing our findings with the patterns revealed by the previous Lancaster corpus-based investigation of SW&TP in written texts. We describe the structure of the corpus and the archives from which its composite texts are taken. These are the spoken section of the British National Corpus, and archives currently housed in the Centre for North West Regional Studies (CNWRS) at Lancaster University. We discuss the decisions that we made concerning the selection of suitable extracts from the archives, the re-transcription that was necessary in order to use the original CNWRS archive texts in our corpus, and the problems associated with the original archived transcripts. Having described the sources of our corpus, we move on to consider issues surrounding the mark-up of our data with TEI-conformant SGML, and the problems associated with capturing in electronic form the CNWRS...

A Senior Bureaucrat in New Delhi In October 1996, McDonald's opened irs ttrst Indian ourlec in Vasant Vihar, a n affluent residential colony in India's capital, New Delhi. As of November 2004 , McDonald 's has opened a total of 58 restaura nts, mostl y in the northern a nd western parr of India (Exhibit 1). 1 While McDonald 's opened 34 restaura nts in five years (by 2001 ), 58 restaurants in eight yea rs (by 2004), it is now pla nning to add more than 90 new restaurants in the next three years. 2 Although the initial scenes of crowds lining up for days outside the M cDonald 's res taurants in Delhi and Mumbai are no longer seen, Indian consumer response to McDonald's products still remains very strong. The ten McDonald's I visited in Mumbai and Delhi were pac ked with young people, children , and yo ung p a renrs enjoying ice c reams, sp icy potato wedges (instead of the usual frenc h fries), and Happy M ea ls.

...More Praise for the Second Edition of Beyond Change Management “Once again, Dean and Linda have nailed it! Beyond Change Management is an extraordinary book examining the shifts in change management that have occurred over the years. This book offers real, practical solutions for change practitioners to become extraordinary conscious change leaders.” —Darlene Meister, director, Unified Change Management, United States House of Representatives “Entering the offices recently of a highly respected Fortune 500 company, I was stunned by the enormity of change they were facing and at the same time how ill-equipped they were to deal with the challenges that lay ahead of them. They had little capacity to lead and manage the change required. And, of course, consulting firms were swarming all over them. Th ey needed this book by the Andersons to help them. In fact, Chapter Five alone on building organizational capability is worth the price of the book.” —W. Warner Burke, Ph.D., Edward Lee Thorndike Professor of Psychology and Education; chair, Department of Organization and Leadership; program coordinator, Graduate Programs in Social-Organizational Psychology, Teachers College, Columbia University “Beyond Change Management is a must-read for today’s C-Suite executives and those who lead organizational change. Change is a fact of life in all successful businesses. Based on this breakthrough construct, we now view our approach to transformational change as a strategic advantage. It is a way...
