...as ones nonverbal signals may be telling the receiver one thing and the receiver picks up a different cue. Depending on one’s culture, “personal space has specific types of special boundaries in which we draw around ourselves, based upon the type of conversation that’s occurring. Personal space can be ineffective depending how close one gets when communicating. For example, “Touching can express sympathy, friendship, intimacy, or kinship, and in those instances, it usually welcomed and reciprocal. In other situations, however, touching also can convey power and dominance, particularly if it would be considered in proper or inappropriate for the one being touched to return the gesture. Body language, voice tone and facial expressions are all examples of demonstrative communication. Verbally communicating to an audience is letting them know of their awareness through interpersonal communication and public speaking. In the business world,...

...Summary: What is ingrained in your head? Whatever is ingrained in your head is what comes out when you face struggles, fears, frustrations. Come and learn how to love God with all your mind! Series: All In Scripture: Matthew 22:34-22:40 (add scripture) Intro: In the middle of a wedding ceremony, a jewelry store manager exchanged rings with his soon-to-be spouse. As he slipped the ring onto his bride’s finger, he said, “With this ring—we guarantee a full refund if the customer is not completely satisfied.” His sales pitch was so deeply ingrained in his mind that the words came out automatically. What’s ingrained in your mind? “Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, let your mind dwell on these things” (Phil. 4:8). (Kent Crockett, I Once Was Blind But Now I Squint, Chattanooga, TN: AMG Publishers, 2004, 135) We learned last week that all in begins as an issue of the heart. We will see this week that after it affects the heart it inhabits the head. Matthew 22:37 “He said to him, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.” Let me challenge you with this truth. If the gospel is not being ingrained in your mind it probably hasn’t been engraved on your heart. Hebrews 10:16 “This is the covenant I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws on their hearts...

...Inequality for All After watching this extra-ordinary and well presented idea of inequality in United States of America by Robert Reich I kept on thinking for hours as I see many of the workers all around every time and every day I come across so many people who are low-waged and living a middle class life. I feel myself as one of those middle-class person as I see them surviving the odds and still trying to lead a respectable life. Since I got deeply touched by the documentary here are some points that I would like to discuss regarding my reflection about inequality for all. Inequalities of many kinds exist in our society. The society itself is a big structure of many social divisions. We can divide any society in many social groups like religion, caste, class, sexism, racism etc etc. The biggest difference in all of us comes with class that is lead by our capacity to consume. The main criteria for division in social class are dominated by occupation and property. We can never fully eliminate this inequality factor among us, however it can be managed by state to provide welfare to its citizens. Here, our main focus is inequality of social class. The distribution of wealth is unequal and half of the wealth of entire country is possessed by only few men. Giant fast-food companies have the largest gap between the pay of CEOs and workers of any industry, with a CEO-to-worker compensation ratio of more than 1,000-to-one. The practical choice isn’t between capitalism and Welfare-state...

...research process. Basically, it involves a clear and precise understanding of the problem at hand. It is crucial that the research team identifies, understands and defines the problem in its entire capacity, as it affects all the subsequent activities involved in the research process. Research teams make use of customer feedback, internal and external data reports, sales graphs, purchasing patterns, etc. to come up with an accurate problem definition. #2: Designing a Proper Approach The next step is to come up with a near-flawless approach which is aimed at solving the identified problem. During this process, the research team has to analyze and examine a variety of factors such as the company's targets, goals and objectives, financial resources, skill sets, manpower, industry environment, changing business trends, etc. This phase often involves joint discussions between the research team, industry experts and higher management. #3: Developing the Actual Research Design This is the decisive step, wherein, the research design is the very fulcrum of the entire marketing research process. The solidity of the research design alone decides the success or failure of the research program to a large extent. Naturally, this step is the most time-consuming of all the steps and it needs careful thinking and precise execution. Different activities involved in this process include feedback analysis, qualitative and quantitative analysis, preparing questionnaires as well as sampling of...

...What is the core argument of contingency theories of organizations? Discuss giving examples from at least one such theory. Evaluate the claims of this theory and assess its relevance for organizations today. Organizations operate in many different environments and it is vital to assess how they influence their structures. Effective and efficient organizing has become increasingly important in the modern world characterized by rapid changes. Contingency approaches emphasize that in order for organizations to succeed they must adopt a structure suitable for the environment in which they operate. There are many forms of contingency theory. In general, contingency theories are a class of behavioral theory that claim that there is no best way to organize a corporation and the organizational structure of the company. An organizational or leadership style that is effective in some situations may not be successful in others. Therefore, the best way of organizing the company, is contingent upon the internal and external situation of the company. External environments influence organizations in a varied number of ways. Critical external factors include, but are not limited to, the size of the organization, labor markets, availability and cost of capital, competitors, governmental laws and policies, managerial assumptions about employees, strategies, technologies used, etc. The main ideas of contingency theory are: * There is no universal or one best way to manage * The design of organizations...

...John Quincy Adams once said “If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader." Throughout history, authors and writers have created characters that are meant to influence and inspire the protagonist. This is present in the novel Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. On the other hand, there are some stories such as Test by Theodore Thomas that have taken a different approach. First, in Fahrenheit 451 the author Ray Bradbury writes Clarisse into the novel to inspire the protagonist Guy Montag to take a stand and become an individual and to stop being controlled by the government. She does this by showing him who she is as a person, questioning his morals, and asking him about love. To begin, Clarisse attempts to show Montag who she really is and not for the fugitive that she’s claimed to be. "Well, doesn't this mean anything to you?" He tapped the numerals 451 stitched on his char coloured sleeve. "Yes," she whispered. She increased her pace. "Have you ever watched the jet cars racing on the boulevards down that way? "You're changing the subject!" "I sometimes think drivers don't know what grass is, or flowers, because they never see them slowly," she said. "If you showed a driver a green blur, Oh yes! He’d say, that's grass! A pink blur? That's a rose-garden! White blurs are houses. Brown blurs are cows. My uncle drove slowly on a highway once. He drove forty miles an hour and they jailed him for two days. Isn't that funny...

...Team F | FastCat | Compensation and Rewards | | Spring 2011 | Intro FastCat’s priority is to increase revenue and the new pay structure will accomplish that goal in the long run. The new, cost containment, policy rewards, among other things, behavior aligned with FastCat’s objectives. This in turn will increase revenue, innovation, and customer satisfaction. This new system will need to be assessed over time to make improvements. Choosing a multiple job structure with a person-based pay will allow FastCat to utilize a hybrid structure. We have decided to lead with pay in the more critical jobs and match with the remainder jobs which include low skill or are entry level positions. We have assessed present salaries, created a merit pay plan, and suggested a bonus structure and benefits package. Employee buy in is vital to this new structure and it is FastCat’s responsibility to keep the communication channels open. Strategy for Recognizing Performance Performance based pay plans are based on a number of dimensions. In light of the work done at FastCat, we have chosen criteria that allows for a better distribution of wages and implies sacrifice on everyone’s behalf. However, in the long run, most employees, and the organization will benefit from the new pay structure. Assess Present Salaries Changes for costs in the employee group did not directly translate for FastCat; there were several red and green circle employees. Benchmark jobs were able to alleviate...

Table of Contents Page 2-Table of Contents Page 3-Abstract Page 4-5-Introduction Page 6-Process of Distinguishing AML and ALL Page 7-Results Page 8-Conclusion Page 9-Discussion Pages 10-12-References Abstract Cancer classification using gene expression data is known to contain the keys for addressing the fundamental problems relating to cancer diagnosis and drug discovery. Cancer research is one of the major research areas in the medical field. Accurate prediction of different tumor types has great value in providing better treatment and toxicity minimization on the patients. Performing gene selection helps to reduce data size. More importantly, gene selection removes a large number of irrelevant genes, which improves the classification accuracy. Introduction Leukemia is a type of blood cancer that is “often fatal”.[1] The white blood cells displace normal blood, leading to infection, shortage of red blood cells anemia, bleeding, and other disorders. Certain types of childhood leukemia respond well to treatment, “which includes drugs, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy”. [2] There are two types of leukemia that will be discussed, acute lymphocytic leukemia and acute myelogenous leukemia. Acute lymphocytic leukemia is the most common “type of cancer in children”. [1] Acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) is a type of cancer of the “blood and bone marrow — the spongy tissue inside bones where blood cells are made”. [1] Acute myelogenous leukemia denotes...

...All Animals Are Equal PETER SINGER In TOM REGAN & PETER SINGER (eds.), Animal Rights and Human Obligations. New Jersey: Prentice-Hall, 1989, pp. 148-162 Available freely online at: http://www.animal-rights-library.com/texts-m/singer02.htm. In recent years a number of oppressed groups have campaigned vigorously for equality. The classic instance is the Black Liberation movement, which demands an end to the prejudice and discrimination that has made blacks second-class citizens. The immediate appeal of the black liberation movement and its initial, if limited, success made it a model for other oppressed groups to follow. We became familiar with liberation movements for Spanish-Americans, gay people, and a variety of other minorities. When a majority group— women—began their campaign, some thought we had come to the end of the road. Discrimination on the basis of sex, it has been said, is the last universally accepted form of discrimination, practiced without secrecy or pretense even in those liberal circles that have long prided themselves on their freedom from prejudice against racial minorities. One should always be wary of talking of "the last remaining form of discrimination." If we have learnt anything from the liberation movements, we should have learnt how difficult it is to be aware of latent prejudice in our attitudes to particular groups until this prejudice is forcefully pointed out. A liberation movement demands an expansion of our moral horizons and...

...Adidas “Is All In” Since both Nike’s and Adidas’s entry into the sports apparel and shoe market, Nike has been and still remains the number one seller. Adidas has set out to change their reputation with their newly revamped marketing campaign. One such Adidas commercial designed to attract new consumers first aired about a year ago targeting teens and young adults. Initially when viewing the commercial, I had a sense of inspiration because of its presentation. The commercial gave the impression that with Adidas gear, one could compete at their highest level. The video showed different views of star athletes, popular entertainers, and teenagers; each in their most stereotypical environment, doing what viewers know them best for (i.g athletes playing sports, entertainers performing, and teenagers hanging out). Adidas went “All in (Brettman)” with their new marketing ad, showing viewers the great diversity the company has. “"This is a campaign that will show the breadth and depth of the Adidas brand," said Patrik Nilsson, president of Adidas America. (Brettman)” Their ad gave consumers a sense of inspiration and happiness, believing that with these new Adidas products they could achieve their goals. The commercial begins with a rear view of a teenager jogging alone wearing a jacket the reads “Adidas” with the company’s logo across his back. Then the video transitions flashing short glimpses of the company’s sponsored athletes and musical artists such as Derrick Rose, Lionel Messi...

...Lindsey Silva J. Clark English 101-8 September 15, 2014 And Justice for All Punishment stems from our parents, our mom or dad or maybe even both, and their learnings stem from their parents. They would lecture, about the rights and wrongs. So when a child grows up, maybe steals a pack of gum at age five, something petty, they get away with it, get a thrill because they were never caught. That small, minor theft turns into something a little larger over time, each time as they grow. That frivolous pack of gum has grown into a larger larceny, maybe grand theft, or robbing a bank, eventually leading to murder, this is known as ‘the progressive effect’. Most of us have a moral compass, so what should happen if that compass breaks? What is the purpose of punishment? The fundamental principal of justice is that the punishment should fit the crime. When one plans and brutally rapes or murders another, doesn’t it make sense that the punishment for the culprit be equal to their crime? I believe in capital punishment, it is beneficial for society as a whole. Capital punishment provides a strong deterrence against future crimes. Capital punishment protects the rights of victims and saves costs of tax payers. The death penalty is a legal appropriate measure in the U.S. legal system. In a perfect world, there would be no serious predatory crime, none enough to have heated debates concerning capital punishment anyway. But this world is not perfect, and unfortunately...
