Another problem is that companies don’t have computers that meet the requirements for next generation Windows operating systems, which ask for large amounts of memory.

...years tenor; I have supervised, work alongside and been the subordinate of some of the most difficult characters you will ever want to meet. Although, I will only mention a few such as; the manipulator, perfectionist, the defiant one, irresponsible, chronic complainer, procrastinator, substance abuser and thief these are just a few … there still remains too many to name. Conflict in the workplace is a painful reality and a key reason for poor productivity and frustration. Do you have people in your workplace that cause problems for everyone else? Do they create additional work for others? One point is clear--conflict does not magically go away and only gets worse when ignored. Certain types of workplace conflict are readily identified. Other forms of conflict may not be so easily detected. Small, irritating events such as negative attitudes occur repeatedly over time and can cause people to strike out at each other. In many cases, conflict occurs at the senior level of the organization. In these situations some kind of intervention is needed. First there is the manipulative employee this person thinks everything is all about them. At best, they're backbiters, but more often than not they keep score and seek payback years after a perceived slight. Such people are hollow at their core and don't know how to form stable relationships. Don't share personal information with such people, because they'll use it against you. Manipulators can be charming and might succeed in sales...

...Dealing with difficult people not only tests our faith in God, but it also puts our witness on display. One biblical figure who responded well to difficult people was David, who triumphed over many offensive characters to become king of Israel. When he was only a teenager, David encountered one of the most intimidating types of difficult people—the bully. Bullies can be found in the workplace, at home, and in schools, and they usually frighten us with their physical strength, authority, or some other advantage. Goliath was a giant Philistine warrior who had terrorized the entire Israelite army with his size and his skill as a fighter. No one dared to meet this bully in combat, until David showed up. Before facing Goliath, David had to deal with a critic, his own brother Eliab, who said: "I know how conceited you are and how wicked your heart is; you came down only to watch the battle." (1 Samuel 17:28, NIV) David ignored this critic because what Eliab said was a lie. That's a good lesson for us. Turning his attention back to Goliath, David saw through the giant's taunts. Even as a young shepherd, David understood what it meant to be a servant of God: "All those here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the Lord saves; for the battle is the Lord's, and he will give all of you into our hands." (1 Samuel 17:47, NIV). While we should not respond to bullies by hitting them in the head with a rock, we should remember that our strength is not in ourselves, but in the...

...be overcome, but can also make you a better person. She is not pleased with her life as a Farm Girl, and she voices her displeasure often throughout the first three quarters of the essay. “I think to myself, ‘A typical ten-year-old child does not have to wake up at five in the morning to do chores!’” (Hemauer, 2011) However, once she realizes the quality of person she has become, she makes an educated and reasoned conclusion that it is due to the work she did helping with chores on her father’s farm. “Though I hated it growing up, working on the farm has taught me many lessons about life, and it has shaped me into the individual I am today.” (Hemauer, 2011) Another point she tries to make as well is that life on a working farm is difficult. She opens with a description of performing her morning chores with her brother and her sisters. This particular morning is described as being very cold and windy due to a blizzard: There is a brisk and bitter wind accompanied by icy snowflakes that feel like needles digging into our faces. We don’t turn back. We desperately want to, but we know my father is patiently waiting for us to help him milk and feed the cows before school starts...

...The story I chose to summarize is “Farm Girl” by Jessica Hemauer; which she writes as a narrative essay. I believe that Hemauer told her story to let the reader know how she grew up as a child on a farm; that while it was hard work, it does pay off in the end. She realized that hard work can teach responsibility, time management, and can be used in every aspect of life. I believe her audience for the paper was youth; someone who could take away that while life is hard you can learn from it and be successful. At first, it seemed like such a difficult life for a young person to have. But by the end of the story I had changed how I felt. She did have a hard life at a young age, but she learned from it and used it in every step of life. While most people her age were still struggling to manage their lives, she learned early what she needed to do to manage her own. Jessica and her siblings had a very strict upbringing. Although “there was no sense complaining,” (Hemauer, 2011) the farm was the most important thing and the everyday routine was something that had to be done. Having to wake up at five in the morning and complete farm chores with her siblings before school while her peers are still sleeping in their warm beds. Not being able to have a social life within the school or with her peers. The cows had to be fed; however, the equipment used to milk the cows had to be sterilized before every use. The one thing that Jessica enjoyed the most was feeding the newborn calves...

...The High Art of Handling Problem People Dealing with difficult people is a special skill—and an increasingly necessary one. By Hara Estroff Marano, published on May 01, 2012 - last reviewed on July 02, 2012 The walk-in medical clinic was about to close for the day when Susan Biali got a call from one of her longtime patients. Could the doctor please hang in a bit longer? The caller was feeling very ill and needed to see her immediately. An exhausted Biali extended her already burdensome day and waited for the patient to arrive. Some time later, the woman sauntered in; she was perfectly fine. She just needed a prescription refill. "She totally lied to me," the Vancouver doctor recalls. "Afterwards, I was so upset that the degree of my reaction troubled me. I'm a general physician with some training in psychiatry. Yet I couldn't put my finger on exactly why I was so bothered. I thought it was a flaw in myself." Eventually, she identified what set her off: "You think you're in an innocuous situation—a typical doctor-patient encounter. But the woman took complete advantage of my compassion. Then, not only wouldn't she acknowledge the lie, but she looked at me blankly and demanded, 'Can't you just move on and give me my prescription?' She made me feel that I was the problem." Bottom of Form Ever wonder how an encounter goes so quickly awry? Doubt your own perceptions? Feel thrown totally off balance by another person? Find yourself acting crazy when you're really a very...

...Functional Analysis A functional analysis is a process of learning about people before intervening in their lives. It is a systematic process for describing difficult behavior, identifying environmental factors and setting events that predict the behavior, and guiding the development of effective and efficient behavior support plans. Three important beliefs underlying a functional analysis are that 1) all behavior that persists serves some purpose, 2) every person is unique, and 3) the best way to help someone change their behavior is to first understand the reasons behind the behavior. This worksheet includes the components of a functional analysis which should be used to develop a positive behavior support plan, if one is needed for a participant. Depending on the person, some items may not need to be addressed. |Clear Description of the Behavior -- What does the challenging behavior look like? What does it sound like? Does it occur in conjunction with other behaviors or | |in isolation? How long does it last? How long has it been a problem? | | | |Antecedents -- Is there any warning from the person before the targeted behavior starts? What are some of the preliminary behaviors before the person shows the ...

...Human Rights final essay What rights to privacy do celebrities have? Do many celebrities often have their privacy rights breached? Privacy rights are difficult to explain as every individual perceives them as something different. The privacy of celebrities in the media has been an issue since the start of time and has only been getting worse as technology is improving. I believe that everybody should have equal rights but unfortunately celebrities privacy rights are not acknowledged as much as they should be by most magazines, newspapers and other forms of media. High profile individuals are not looked at as normal people with real feelings, but rather as money makers and news stories. There is a blurred line in relation to privacy when it...

...Being an Effective Helper Some people are limited in their social interaction; this may be a result of how they were brought up by their parents. Maybe they were home schooled or sheltered as a child. Maybe they were simply not allowed to interact with anyone outside of their family unit. Not every person is capable of learning the same way. As an instructor, you have to be aware of this fact and be able to recognize a person’s inability to learn a certain way and to help provide guidance in the correct direction, a path that will allow them to find their own way of learning the specific task sought after. Personally, there are multiple situations or client personalities that I feel that I would have difficulties in helping. The majority of them come from previous encounters with those types of situations or types of personalities. I know that for myself to improve as an instructor and a helper that I must find a way to see beyond these prejudices that I hold. It can be difficult to get past a certain distaste, as a small child my parent’s forced me to eat Brussels sprouts, and to this day they absolutely disgust me. I have tried to eat them on numerous occasions and I am not sure if it will ever happen. The first example that comes to mind is dealing with stubborn and difficult people. In my experience as a flight instructor, I have encountered this type of person in two different aspects. The first is that they believe that they are better than they actually are...

...objectives as I believe that the objectives are too vague and are not always fully understood by the people who are meant to be achieving them. A lot of this I believe is down to the size of the site and the very distinct differences between the different departments. At times, the objectives of one department and another conflict while they are trying to achieve the same goal. All of this makes measuring team performance difficult. There is also a lot of different roles within the same team around the site, some of which I believe would be difficult to manage performance as there aren’t targets against which you could manage. Two vastly different roles but both with similar issues regarding giving targets to are a faciliation technician – the target you could give them is to complete a certain numbers of jobs in a day, but this gives the issue of how you assign times to a job and if a job is going to take longer how you adjust the target and how you can stop abuse of the system. The second example is an communication technician, how do you set a target for them, when their job is about talking to people and using soft skills, both are very dependent of outside factors, as such is it fair to set their performance on these. The senior management team also have KPI’s which feed into team leaders, then technicians and then again into the graded staff on the shop floor. I’m not sure how many people could tell you what the KPI’s are for their team. So if the team doesn’t know the KPI, how can...

...There is always going to be challenges when you work waith people because there is no cookie cutter way to treate any one person. You need to break down the areas that they are looking to work on and go from there. In lessons 1-3 you are setting up the base line for the remaining appointments. You want your client to feel as if they can trust you and that you are available to listen to them in what ever way they need you. You also need to provide them with a demeanor that shows your interested and available. This is also where you do your basic analysis of the client; are they dangerous to themseves or others, are they mentally stable and is this something they can handle doing at this point in time. In the second session you are focusing on the BECHRISTLIKE formula.With this you can really break down the client and see where they stand when it comes to everything, are they teachable, are they dedicated, can they let things go, ect. In the third and fourth sessions, is where you are going to end up diagnosising the client with something and where you both will make a plan. This plan will cover how they intend to solve the problem and if they can adhere to it. Sessions 5-10 are where things become typically difficult. This is where the real problem is exposed and where challenges will start to surface. The client make face set backs in terms of lapses and frustrations as well as withdrawls. These are the most difficult because like perviously stated every person is different and...

...Learning Habits One of the hardest things to do in life is to analyze or criticize yourself. A person can sit there and be able to criticize other people and pick out all the flaws, but when asked to analyze ones self, a person may find it difficult to find their own flaws. However, there are people out there that get paid to design test to help people see their flaws and help them analyze themselves. Though these test may not be one hundred percent perfect, they will give a person a better understanding of their strengths and weaknesses. After taking the Learning and Study Strategies Inventory (LASSI), the Inventory of Classroom Style and Skills (INCLASS), and the Center for Innovative Teaching Experiences (CITE), I was able to see my strengths and weaknesses in my study habits. Like I have stated before, these test are not one hundred percent perfect or correct. They are not designed to be that way; however, they are designed to give a person a better understanding of their study habits. After taking all the tests, I can say that I do not completely agree with the results that came out. But, before I pass judgment, lets take two thing into consideration: first off, I may not have been honest with myself in answering the questions, second, the test are scored on a percentile scale based on a collection of scores accumulated from people who have taken the tests before. After reviewing my test results, I find that I enjoy working with numbers. In my opinion, numbers are easy...

Peculiar in the sense of uniqueness or abnormality? (Yikes, haha!) What’s unique about me? My name? My father gave me the name ‘Soleil’. He got the name from a child actress before. Originally, ‘Soleil’ is a french word which means ‘sun’. I love my name. It’s very unique. And it’s the first thing that people notice about me, especially my teachers, classmates and friends. Because they said, it’s difficult to pronounce and it’s unusual. I can say that I am just a simple person who grew up in a simple life. I grew up with my family in Tanza, Cavite, my father’s hometown. We are five in the family and I am the eldest among my two siblings. I am one year older than my brother and my youngest sister is 11 years old. My father is an average employee in a company and my mother is a housewife. Whenever I meet new people, they always doubt about my age. They say that I look younger than my age. I am already 18 years old but they said I look like a high school student. I don’t know if that’s a compliment or an insult because of my petite appearance but I just consider them as compliments (laughs). Sometimes, I feel insulted because they see me as an immature person who only knows how to have fun which is definitely not true. I am a simple type of person. I am not the...
