... and combined types (Barkley). Where does ADHD occur? Out of the childhood population 4-12% have ADHD (Clayton). Along with that percentage boys can be found outweighing girls in a ratio of 3:1. ADHD can continue on into a person’s adolescence stage in 50-80% of clinically diagnosed case and into adulthood in 30-50% of these same cases (Barkley). How can someone determine if their child or children have ADHD? ADHD is most likely evaluated through diagnostic interviews with the child, their parents, and the child’s tearcher(s). Other evaluations are behavior rating scales completed by the parents and the teacher(s), direct observations of the students’ school behavior, and clinic based testing (Anastopoulos). There are many different methods as to how ADHD is treated. Some examples are couneling and behavior management training for the parents, family, and teacher. The are also special education resources available in order to help children with ADHD. Another alternative for parents is to have a professional prescribe psychoactive medications for their child or children to improve their behavior (Barkley). The most effective type of medication found for...

...where millions of people die every day which caused by problems like hunger and lack of medical care. Western countries are defined as the country that located at western hemisphere affairs such as United Kingdom, Europe, Canada, and America (Worldatlas, year unknown). These countries organise various projects to eradicate these issues so that poverty can be solved. Global poverty is defined as a lack of material wealth needed to maintain existence (The Three Dictionary,2011). This essay will seek to argue that western countries are doing enough to fight global poverty. These will be referenced on the three areas of eradicating extreme poverty and hunger, improving the supply of medicine to those in need and providing education to young children. To begin with, western countries are doing enough to fight global poverty because they are eradicating hunger. Western countries provide food and daily needs for the poor through funding or organization like Millennium Development Goals by the United Nations. Around the world more than 2.5 billion of poor live in grinding poverty on less than $2 a day (the UN Works for People and the Planet, 2011). According to the “8 Goals For Africa Campaign”, which is established by the Millennium Development Goals Advocacy Campaign by the UN of South Africa, one of the commitments signed by the UN Millennium Declaration on September 2008 stated that they are willing to commit in abolishing extreme poverty and hunger in South Africa(End Poverty 2015...

...Jazz and It's History Jazz started when World War I had just ended and a social revolution was on it's way. Customs and values of previous were rejected. Life was to be lived to the fullest. This was also known as the era of the "lost generations," and the "flapper" with her rolled stockings, short skirts, and straight up-and-down look. They disturbed their elders in the casino, night clubs, and speakeasies that replaced the ballrooms of prewar days. Dancing became more informal - close of the nineteenth century in the unpleasant dance halls and whorehouses of the South and Midwest where the word Jazz commonly meant sexual intercourse. Southern blacks, delivered from slavery a few decades before, started playing European music Afro modifications. The first place of jazz has many origins: New Orleans, St. Louis, Memphis and Kansas City are just a few. But New Orleans was and still remains an important jazz center. The ethnic rainbow of people who went to the bars and whorehouses were a big part of the development of jazz. The city had been under Spanish French rule because of the Louisiana purchase. By 1900, it was a blend of Spanish, French, English, German, Italian, Slavic and countless blacks originally brought in as slaves The first jazz bands contained a "rhythm section" consisting of a string bass, drums, and a guitar or banjo, and a "melodic section" with one or two cornets, a trombone, a clarinet, and sometimes even a violin. Years later, jazz was taken over...

...CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Background of the Study In the history of human civilization, the progress of a nation can not only be built by the abundant natural resources or the management of an established state structure, but rather it starts from a book civilization or the sustainable literacy mastery of one generation to the next generation. Literacy is really needed to speed up the development or the progress of a country especially in this era of globalization in which technology advance and rapid economic development requires everyone to be competent and to have good skills. Everyone should be literate and be able to read or write at least. In line of this, Hussain (2005) said: “Access to quality literacy learning opportunities and the development of literate environments are essential components of strategies for poverty reduction, equality, economic development and environmental protection, and for achieving democracy. Literacy is a fundamental human right and a prerequisite to the empowerment of the individual and development of society”. It is fully essential to social and human development in its ability to transform lives. For individuals, families, and societies alike, it is an instrument of empowerment to improve one’s health, one’s income, and one’s relationship with the world. Literacy education is one of important aspects which should be applied in order to foster an interest and latent talent in order to get that empowerment of the individual and development...

...have on a child’s life. Writers and parents are making an effort to show children that what they do to their peers has real consequences and to be mindful with their words and actions. Another popular subject is dystopian futures. This interest is in part due to the success of The Hunger Games trilogy, children have become interested in the future of their planet. Another interesting trend in children’s literature is mixing of genres, such as mixing cartoons and novels, which may be the influence of children’s television. Children are interested in seeing the story unfold as well as reading the text. This also is influenced by the prevalence of the internet and the multimedia presentations of information that is abundant there. Children are also very interested in serial literature, willing to follow their favorite characters through many books to find out all of their adventures. Here, again, televison may play a part in this interest. In the 1700s, the intent of many children’s books was to educate and instruct them morally while amusing children so that they would continue to read. Books that were made specifically for children were illustrated and often made in small sizes to fit into children’s hands. Today’s literature is different in that there is a lot of literature that is designed to entertain and provoke thought in children, whereas in the 1700s, literature was published to instruct children morally. For example, Mary Wollstonecraft’s 1788 children’s book Original...

...CHARACTERISTICS OF EDITORIAL WRITING An editorial is an article that presents the newspaper's opinion on an issue. It reflects the majority vote of the editorial board, the governing body of the newspaper made up of editors and business managers. It is usually unsigned. Much in the same manner of a lawyer, editorial writers build on an argument and try to persuade readers to think the same way they do. Editorials are meant to influence public opinion, promote critical thinking, and sometimes cause people to take action on an issue. In essence, an editorial is an opinionated news story. Editorials have: 1. Introduction, body and conclusion like other news stories 2. An objective explanation of the issue, especially complex issues 3. A timely news angle 4. Opinions from the opposing viewpoint that refute directly the same issues the writer addresses 5. The opinions of the writer delivered in a professional manner. Good editorials engage issues, not personalities and refrain from name-calling or other petty tactics of persuasion. 6. Alternative solutions to the problem or issue being criticized. Anyone can gripe about a problem, but a good editorial should take a pro-active approach to making the situation better by using constructive criticism and giving solutions. 7. A solid and concise conclusion that powerfully summarizes the writer's opinion. Give it some punch. Four Types of Editorials Will: 1. Explain or interpret: Editors often use these editorials...

...In terms of the question of my assignment I’m a Marketing Director of a large supermarket chain opening in Cyprus. The main idea is to promote a store, which is well established in Europe, and offers people high quality products at a low cost. First thing that we will discuss is why exactly this store. Second thing is to describe in detail promotional mix and how it will help my company. Let’s start with the store. The name of a supermarket chain opening in Cyprus is Lidl. Lidl is a German global discount supermarket chain, based in Neckarsulm, Baden-Württemberg, Germany, that operates over 10,000 stores across Europe. It belongs to the holding company Schwarz Gruppe. The company was founded in the 1930s by a member of the Schwarz family. Lidl has since its opening in 1973 established itself in over 20 countries throughout Europe and is the fifth-largest retailer in the world with sales of $82.4 billion by the year 2011. Lidl has a no-frills approach of keeping its products in the original delivery cartons, allowing the customers to take the product directly from the carton. When the carton is empty, it is simply replaced with a full one. Staffing is minimal, so that a profit can still be made even though the prices are low. These supermarkets are branded products on offer and import many low-priced gourmet foods from Europe, it also sources many local products from the country where the store is located. Lidl has special weekly offers, and its stock of non-food items often changes...

...didn't want to believe it. Carlton was one of the officers who went down there to ask questions, it's all confidential to the department but I wasn't in the mood to beg him for answers just yet, still shaken up by the events that unfolded last night. All I could do was stare, and wait. My mom came into the living room and sat next to me, urging me to eat something. She then started to rub my legs while talking to me of how fortunate I was that I never went, and apologized for every moment she's pressured me. Perhaps the close shave of losing her youngest was a wake up call that she needed not to push me to tie the knot and have children so soon... granted it's not off the table just yet, just didn't want all those things right now, at least the kid part anyway. My mind did it's best to tune her out as I'm still listening to the televison and the reporters updating every intricate detail of the tragedy. My eyes started to wander around the television screen. From the ticketade on the bottom, to the firefighters and EMTs rushing in and out of the building. Carlton actually was stopped by said reporter moments later, and I could see that he kept a very stern composure, but even I can tell he was a little shaken up but the whole thing. They are both standing near the grassy plot that me and my friends spent our lunch time at, the willow tree that gave us shade has surprisingly survived the explosion save for the odd branches scattered about. Carlton was constantly looking...

...CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY The mass media, most especially television have gradually become a part of our daily lives, and sources of information, education and entertainment have been described as the primary functions of the media. Lasswell (1948) as cited in Folarin (2005, p.74) assigns three functions to the media: i. Surveillance of the Environment (the news function). ii. Correlation of the different parts of the Enviroment (the editorial function). iii. Transmission of the cultural heritage from one generation to the other (the cultural transmission function). The focus of the researcher in this study is not only on the entertainment function of the media, but the role the entertainment media especially television, plays in shaping social behaviour among teenagers in the society. Stephenson (1967) a British psychologist, as cited in Folarin (2005, p.170), divides man’s activities into work and play. The former involving reality and production, while the latter deals with entertainment, relaxation or self satisfaction. He further says that people use mass communication more as play than as work, more for pleasure and entertainment than for information and serious work. Folarin (ibid) corroborates this view by saying that one constant criticism of television in Nigeria is its focus on entertainment rather than on development purposes. There is no doubt that the impact of the media on young people’s lives is broadly considered within...

Mr. Mani Ratnam would have never thought that his plot would win the test of times and still stand relevant in the seventh decade of independence of world’s largest democracy. With an economy among the world’s ten largest India’s status as a re-emerging global power is now not just recognised, but is increasingly institutionalised with a seat in G-20 , increasing clout in international financial institutions, growing acceptance as nuclear armed state and impressive peace keeping credentials under the UN1. But at the same time the pain and loss of innocent men, women and children caught in the web of destructive communal forces spiralling due to political support dents the shinning image of the future super power. Striking a balance between the India of 18th and...
