Orlando Bloom talks dream destinations and favourite foodie cities29 MAY 2013 Hollywood actor Orlando Bloom lives life in the fast lane and his current schedule is no different. After a week at the Cannes Film Festival promoting his latest flick Zulu, he flew to New Zealand to finish filming The Hobbit ahead of a six-month stint on starring in Romeo and Juliet on Broadway. The Pirates of the Caribbean star juggles his hectic professional life with a young family. He is married to Victoria's Secret model Miranda Kerr and they have an adorable two-year-old son Flynn. "I would love to take Flynn to see the pandas in Chengdu," revealed the 36-year-old. In an interview with the airline, he talks his and Miranda's favourite foodie cities, tips for combating jet lag and his love for London. Paper Edition | Page: 2 I have borrowed some words from Romeo and Juliet’s theme song and Harold Laswell’s phrase on politics for the title of this essay. In my view, these terms fit the issue well as the need mounts to embark on a different stage of reform in Indonesia. And yet, given the nature of the problems that appear to have hit all spheres of public life and mutated to all state agencies and officers, this nation seems to be confronted with a...

...Victoria’s Secret Pink: Keeping the Brand Hot Synopsis This case illustrates the general strategy employed by Victoria’s Secret to acquire a new segment of customers through the introduction of its brand Pink. Pink is a line of “loungewear” (sweatpants, T-shirts, pajamas, bras and panties, pillows and bedding) targeted toward 18-30 year old females. The garments feature comfortable cuts and mostly cotton fabrics in bright colors. New garments are introduced every three or four weeks. The image is one of “cute and playful” versus the more overtly sexy image of the core brand. The case highlights the different promotional approaches that Pink managers are taking in contrast to those of the core brand. This is a lifestyle brand. The Victoria’s Secret chain has been a big driver of financial success for Limited Brands (parent company), and Pink is expected to be a big part of Victoria’s Secret’s sustained growth. Not only does it give the chain a new set of customers, but it brings in customers at a younger age who will then “graduate” up to the Victoria’s Secret core brands. The ethics of the Pink strategy are considered in detail. Discussion Questions 1. Analyze the buyer decision process of a typical Pink customer. Need recognition: This can come from internal stimuli (basic needs such as hunger, thirst, protection) or external stimuli. Considering that people do not purchase fashion brands based on such needs as, “I am cold/naked and need protective...

...In “Gentlehands” by M.E Kerr, Buddy begins to date Skye Pennington, someone that is much more wealthy than his family. Doing this changes Buddy by making him act more insecure about Skye leaving him. This is because he used borrowed glory, and does anything to still be with Skye. First of all, Buddy changed this way by using borrowed glory. He would use this by taking someone's achievements like his grandfather and use it for himself. He would think how he “was using borrowed glory by letting my grandfather make the impression on Skye Pennington, instead of trying to impress her with my own personality” (27). This goes back to how he is more cautious because he does want Skye to think differently about him just because he is not as wealthy...

...and financial issues are uncertainties which are high dangers that affect a company seriously. A company should have valid preparation for facing complex external environment. Decision maker should scheme a flexible plan to handle uncertainties in business running. Nevertheless, some companies and managers might address threats unsuccessfully due to mistaken strategies. The case of Tony is a typical failed example for facing problems. The article will analyse mistakes made by Tony and provide solutions for Tony’s company. Tony’s company is a medium monitoring equipment maker in the UK which has no exporting experience in the past (Kerr, W. A. and Perdikis, N, 1995). It received a great potential order regarding monitors from a chain of hospitals in a Latin American country which was larger than the existing producing capacity of the company (Kerr, W. A. and Perdikis, N, 1995). Before accepting the contract, Tony made a business plan which included seeking new cheaper supplier, financial assistance...

...people around the world that try to uncover these discoveries. I think it is very incredulous how two young people, Kerr and Barbara, have discovered a whole new adventure of changing the way they see the past. Kerr and Barbara are not seeking this journey for just themselves, but to change others views on the past of the great Maya people. The couple feel a spirit and connection towards the sculptures they see and the images they capture with their eyes. Taking a vacation can change one’s life for some people as it did for Kerr and Barbara. The pre-Columbian Americas and the Classic Maya civilization dominated their lives. Good spirits drove them to Yucatan because when they arrived, they could not take their eyes off of all the beautiful sculptures they witnessed. Items such as carved skulls, snakes, warriors, and glyphs changed their lives towards a whole new path. When I think of photographing archaeological material, people looking at these images may think that they are boring. As for Kerr, he realized this and imputed life into his images. There is a bigger meaning to pictures than just trying to make it look nice, there is beauty, devotion, and emotion. After reading this article, I see that there are many small details to create a great image, such as the lighting and the fabric. Kerr has created a great reputation for himself and many people see Kerr as their idol. The first thing I thought of Maya Civilization was that there were many details we did not know...

...Bowen Family Systems Theory I have quite a large family. My nuclear family consists of my mom, dad, brother and myself. My mom’s side of the family equates for that majority of our family. My mother is the youngest of nine! As one could guess, I have many aunts and many cousins. Because there are so many people of all different ages there are many patterns of interaction and diversity issues that affect the family dynamics. The nature of my parent’s relationship is extremely loving, affectionate and kind. My parents were strict in many aspects but lenient in other aspects. Luckily my nuclear family and extended family have not had to face issues with substance abuse, violence or disabilities. However we did have to face two major losses in the family, both of my grandmothers. When thinking about interaction patterns, family rituals and celebrations come to mind. Our celebrations particularly Christmas and birthdays were rituals, which bring us together. Christmas is important because my family is Catholic, so this connects us all in a special way. When it comes to diversity issues, issues arise between the young individuals and the older individuals pertaining to beliefs. Even though most of the family is Catholic, everyone is unique and has their own personal beliefs that sometimes can be cause for arguments. This can affect family dynamics. Overall, though there is a mutual respect for everyone. Bowen’s approach has eight major concepts. One of them, Triangles/...

...term “handover” applies to the transferring of a patient’s information between two health care providers, when the patient receives care in a different location, or when another healthcare provider is responsible of the patient (ACSQHC 2005). The American word “handoff” also signifies the same meaning. Nursing handovers are often being described as a ritual, which stemmed from the medical concept preliminarily in the 1880s, whereby the nursing sister would direct the nurses on duty after hearing reports from the night shift nurses and the doctors’ rounds (Walsh and Ford 1989). The repetitive characteristic of the traditional handover does not encourage nurses to think critically or share different views, therefore depicted as a “ritual” (Kerr et al 2011). 1.1 BACKGROUND OFTHE STUDY The aim of a nursing shift handover is to precisely inform the patient’s general condition, care plan, treatment and expectations in a timely manner (Runy 2008). The process, if made without a systematic standardized method, would lead to errors and jeopardizes patient’s safety (ACSQHC 2010). Reported adverse events from handovers include unnecessary procedure and investigations, delayed diagnosis or treatments, prolonged hospitalization, increased cost, and dissatisfied patients (Patterson and Wears 2010). Therefore The Joint Commission (2009) and the WHO (2008) have emphasized on the necessity for organizations to develop standard operational procedures for handover. In view of different requirements...

...The following paper will examine the elements of procedural fairness apparent in tribunals and compare this to that of the court system, ultimately coming to a tentative conclusion on the efficacy of each. A broad spectrum of academic literature, case law and legislation has been considered to evaluate the role that tribunals have in the Australian legal system. In light of Kerr J’s remark (above), find and critically analyse a case which considers issues of procedural fairness in a tribunal hearing. The case of Ashmore v Commissioner for Superannuation primarily concerned the decisions to not recognise late election and to not grant an extension of time relating to the preservation of the applicant’s superannuation benefit. At the initial hearing in which the applicant (Carolyn Ashmore) gave oral evidence, only one senior member was present, contrary to the stipulations of the Superannuation Act that the Tribunal be constituted of three members, one of whom is an eligible employee or pensioner. The hearing was then reconstituted with three members, and a transcript of the applicant’s oral evidence was used to ascertain her credibility. Ultimately the Tribunal formed a negative opinion of the applicant’s evidence, leading them to rule against her. By relying on a transcript of Ashmore’s evidence, it was determined by Justice Moore that the other two tribunal members could have been influenced, albeit unintentionally, by the negative bias from the senior member present at the...

...Clip Lawrence Kerr I would describe myself as a keen, well-motivated person, who’s keen and eager to do well. Always ready to give 300% and expect exactly the same back from my superiors and my peers. I am a Scotsman, however, you know, I still serve Her Majesty the Queen, and I’m British. Sue: In Private lives today we meet Lawrence Kerr. He’s a Colour Sergeant in the British Army. Lawrence is 33 years old, and he was born in Kilmarnock - a large town on the west coast of Scotland. When he was 15, Lawrence left school and began work as a joiner, a carpenter. But it wasn’t long before he decided to join the Army, and he joined a Regiment called the Scots Guards. Three years ago, he achieved his present rank of Colour Sergeant. As we’ll discover, Lawrence is very committed to his career in the Army, and we’ll hear him talk about how his career affects his family life. First, Colour Sergeant Lawrence Kerr remembers the day when the young joiner decided he wanted to be a soldier. Talk about English © BBC Learning English Page 2 of 5 bbclearningenglish.com Clip Lawrence Kerr It was one lunch break, I suddenly, I was walking up to the baker’s shop to have my lunch, and walked past the careers office, and all of a sudden had a thought, you know that, maybe the life as a Joiner wasn’t for me and I wanted to, you know, spread my wings if you like, get out of, you know, a normal mundane sort of life on the west coast of Scotland. So I decided then, at 16 years old...

...The Expectancy Motivation Value and Self Efficiency Fueled My Career Choice. Celiwe T. Mnguni HCS/504 November 19, 2012 Danielle Patrick The Expectancy Motivation and Self-Efficiency Value Fueled My Career Choice The decision to pursue graduate studies was not an overnight thought but a drawing board with careful planning and research. Career stagnancy and burnout was a major driving force fueled by motivation and commitment for self-actualization. According to Plunkett, Iwasiw, and Kerr (as cited in Eccles et al., 1983) Eccles et al. stated, the expectancy motivation value and self-efficiency are the determinants of career choices in college (Plunkett, Iwasiw, & Kerr, 2010). Expectancy motivation value is driven by the utility value, which is long-term usefulness of the task and intrinsic value, which is short-term value, whereas self-Efficiency stem from mastery of tasks and social persuasion (Plunkett, Iwasiw, & Kerr, 2010). The utility value, as displayed by my ambition to climb the clinical ladder will combat my career fatigue and burnout I have suffered in last few years. Lack of career advancement and development does not only affect the quality of nursing care but also patient satisfaction (Lorber and Skela, 2012). This goal will improve the quality of care I deliver to patients and self-esteem. My second long-term goal is acquisition of skills and knowledge needed for my field of study. Health care transformation to digital age, government mandated...

...Running head: NURSING 1 What is Nursing? Shakira Rideout Keyano College NURSING 2 What is Nursing? In this paper I will identify the fundamental concepts of nursing. In addition, I will recognize how nursing is based on the principles of Primary Health Care (PHC). Further, how the history of nursing has formed nursing today and what it means to be a professional in nursing by incorporating the code of ethics. Fundamentals of Nursing Nursing is a profession that centers on the caring for individuals, as a client, as a family, as a group and as a community so they can achieve, maintain or recover optimal health and quality of life (Burger & Goddard, 2010). I believe that the nursing role is to educate clients by the protection and promotion of general health which is congruent to The American Nurses Association (2007) which defines nursing as; the protection, promotion and optimization of health, prevention of illness, lessening of suffering through diagnoses and treatment and advocating client care for individuals, families, groups and communities (American Nurses Association, 2007). The nursing profession utilizes a system that increases client knowledge about factors that can contribute to overall health and the resources that can increase wellbeing; this is called the Nursing Process. This process is a technique used to assess and diagnose needs, plan and implement interventions, and evaluate the outcomes...
