It was signed on September 17, 1787, by delegates to the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, by George Washington. Under America's first governing document, the Articles of Confederation, the national government was weak and states operated like independent countries. At the 1787 convention, delegates devised a plan for a stronger federal government with three branches--executive, legislative and judicial along with a system of checks and balances to ensure no single branch would have too much power. The Bill of Rights is 10 amendments guaranteeing basic individual protections such as freedom of speech and religion which became part of the Constitution in 1791. America's first constitution, the Articles of Confederation, was approved in 1781, a time when the nation was a confederation of states that each operated like independent countries. The debate of the constitution focused on contentious issues like the question of state representation in the national legislature and slavery.

...USE OF TIME AND ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF COLLEGE STUDENTS: DOES STUDYING MATTER? A commonly accepted principle of economics is that, over a reasonable range of output, a positive link should exist between input and output. Furthermore, within the U.S, it is considered only fair that a positive link exist between effort and performance. Thus, it is somewhat disconcerting that a review of the literature review finds mixed results with regard to the link between amount of time spent studying and academic performance. Frisbee (1984), Pappalardo (1986), and Schmidt (1983) find a positive and significant relationship, although the relationship is not large in terms of its magnitude. In contrast, Kember, Jamieson, Pomfret, and Wong (1995) and Schuman, Walsh, Olson,and Etheridge (1985) find little to no relationship. Earlier literature cited in Pappalardo and Schuman et al. also generally find little to no relationship.One explanation postulated to explain these mixed findings is the lack of ameasure of quality of study time. Omission of a key variable leads to a misspecified analysis, limiting the ability to discover underlying relationships. Quality of study time isa multi-attribute variable and thus is difficult to measure; however, one importantcomponent is likely to be the ability to manage time skillfully. Time management abilityincludes setting goals and priorities, using time management mechanics (such as makinglists), and being organized in using time (Macan, Shahani...

...Adult Learning is affected by our ability to manage stress. Stress comes in many forms. Things like our environment, physiological well being, thoughts and social stresses can have an effect on our learning. The knowledge of stress’s impact on learning has resulted in a cottage industry dedicated to teaching methods of managing it. The ability to identify sources of stress and then ways to manage them are key to resolving and overcoming stress and opening our learning channels. Environment is a major factor in causing stress and tension in all of us often without our knowledge. Noise can throw the body and mind out of synchronization and make concentration difficult. Studies have shown “that music which goes against the body’s natural rhythm - the heartbeat - induces a type of stress that even babies in the womb react to by kicking the mother’s tummy.” (“Heighten”). On the other hand music that fits with the bodies natural heartbeat causes relaxation and allows the mind to focus better and get into a flow zone, absorbing knowledge at a greater rate. (“What”) Weather and pollution can also cause stress we may not even notice. (“Stress”) You know the feeling. It is a cloudy hazy day outside and you can not seem to motivate yourself to do anything. Going out feels like a huge chore and all you want to do is sit at home and be lazy. Studying and doing anything productive is out of the question. The reason is that your body is reacting to the stress the weather is causing. Relaxation...

...Management tips: A productive meeting Dr. K. Kuhathasan CEO: Cenlead Whether the meeting is conducted electronically or conventionally, its success depends largely on how effective the leader is. If the leader is prepared and has selected the participants carefully, the meeting will generally be productive. The meeting leader is the person most responsible for keeping the ball rolling. If you're the leader, avoid being a dominator, but don't be so passive that you lose control of the group. If the discussion lags, call on those who have not been heard from. Pace the presentation and discussion so you will have time to complete the agenda. As time begins to run out, interrupt the discussion and summarize what has been accomplished. Another leadership task is either to arrange for someone to record the proceedings or to ask a participant to take notes during the meeting. As the leader, you are also expected to follow the agenda; participants have prepared for the meeting on the basis of the announced agenda. However, don't be rigid. Allow enough time for discussion and give people a chance to raise related issues. If you cut off discussion too quickly or limit the subject too narrowly, no real consensus can emerge. As the meeting gets under way, you will discover that some participants are too quiet, others too talkative. To draw out the shy types, ask for their input on issues that particularly pertain to them. You might say something like "Sunil, you've done a lot of work in this...

...Chapter 2 REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES This chapter reviews the related literature and studies from other researches relevant to the present study. Related Literature Many researches have been conducted to know what stress is all about and its effects to human if it exceeds beyond our control. Selye as cited by Berry (1997) defined stress in physiological terms as a non-specific or generalized bodily response. This response results when any demand is made on the body, whether it is an environment condition that we must survive or a demand that we make ourselves in order to accomplish a personal goal. Selye distinguished between two forms of stress. Distress is the response to negative events and eustress (euphoria) is the response to positive events. Stress is good and will motivate people to succeed, but too much stress can affect one’s performance (http://www.chow.com). Greener as cited by de Jesus (2010:p.22) opined that most people can cope with and even need a certain amount of stress to perform to the peak of their ability but when demands for dealing with it outstrip resources, strength or time, it becomes dangerous. Feldman (2005) said that stress is a normal part of life and not a necessary a bad part of life. However, it is also clear that too much stress can take a toll on both physical and psychological health. According to Stuthers (2000), stress is what people feel when they are worried or...
