...Dissociative Identity Disorder, formally known as Multiple Personalty Disorder is a severe condition in which two or more distinct identities, or personality states, are present in, and alternately take control of an individual. The person also experiences memory loss that is too extensive to be explained by ordinary forgetfulness. I picked this topic because the way the brain works interests me. I plan on going to school to be a psychiatrist and work/help with people who have this or something else. This is a good interesting topic that I will be able to get a lot of interesting information on. I’ll be able to see what might cause it, how many people have the disease, symptoms, and what might be able to help it. I’ve seen lots of detective type shows and seen people who have this disease. I myself don’t know anybody who has a multiple personalties disease. But ever since I’ve seen detective type shows, I’ve found an interest in helping people and doing this. You may wonder if there are any treatments for this disorder. The disorder can not permanently go away. The primary treatment for this disease is long term psychotherapy with the goal of deconstructing the different personalities and uniting them into just one. Some other treatments would be cognitive and creative therapies and some medications. There are not specific medications for this disorder, but antidepressants, anti-anxiety and tranquilizers can help with this. For this project I interviewed David Clayman...

...Module 3 – Priorities Learning resources Prescribed reading Radan & Stewart, chapter 7 Further reading Radan, Stewart & Vickovich, chapter 7, Essential cases Latec Investments Ltd v Hotel Terrigal Pty Ltd (1965) 113 CLR 265 Heid v Reliance Finance Corp Pty Ltd (1983) 154 CLR 326 Moffett v Dillon [1992] 2 VR 480 What is priority? Where two or more parties have valid but competing interests in the same property, the dispute is a priority dispute. Different rules apply to resolve priority disputes depending upon the nature of each party’s proprietary interests in the property. Factors relevant to the resolution of these disputes include: * which of the competing rights arose first in time; * whether the holder of the rights arising later in time was aware of any prior interests; * the conduct of the holder of the earlier interest. The rules for determining priority of interests should be studied in conjunction with Module 2 in this course and should also be considered in relation to competing assignments of equitable interests in the course on Trusts. The priority rules Competing legal interests The general rule for determining priority between competing legal interests is that priority is given to the one created first in time. Competing priority of company charges is determined by the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).

Young 1116 Shoal Creek Road | Burnsville | NC 28714 Property Location: 4075 Hwy 19E | Burnsville T:828.208.0006 1|P a g e COUNTER OFFER TO SUMMARY/OFFER TO PURCHASE REAL PROPERTY Submitted to the State of North Carolina Department of Transportation OVERVIEW Retail gasoline businesses, such this gas station and convenience store, are single-purpose economic enterprises. Because of their specialty of design, they cannot be readily converted to other types of businesses without a significant loss in value. Gas station convenience stores are special-built properties designed to make money in only one way, and they are not easily adapted to other uses. These businesses derive a significant part of their gross sales, about 50 percent, from the sale of motor fuels (National Association of Convenience Stores, 2006). The Silver Bullet recorded at one time 77% of gross sales from the sale of gasoline. This business also sold propane and kerosene (2000 UST). This site has (1) 8,000, (2) 6,000, and (1) 2000 gallon warranted (40 yrs) USTs for fuel (installed by Southern Tank & Pump, NC). stations, and canopies, which are situated on-site but separate from the building. Design features create and significantly influence the property value. For example, the fuel service is so specially-designed that if it becomes no longer profitable...

...Designer Babies, The horizon of gene technology broadens everyday along with the imagination of every human being. Designer babies a rather amusing as well as a controversial field in science could one day change the living world. The term ‘designer babies’ is used by people like journalists. A more scientific term would be ‘genetically modified babies’. Designing babies is actually more of a general term as this covers lots of different areas within. The points i am covering are genetics, diseases they can catch and the technology. The parents may pick a child to be smart, and he or she doesn't succeed, then they become upset because they would invested money and didn't get what they want.” Even though these advances sound beneficial and alluring, genetics advantages are not assured, disappointment can happen and this can cause a separation in our society such as getting bullied or knowing that your nothing like your parents. Changing the embryo will only take the surprise out of the natural way of having a child and only finding out the gender when the child is born .This may even lead to the increase risk of new foreign diseases being given to the child. My first argument against Designer Babies is about the safety of the technology used. Is it safe to use. There are several safety concerns about the technology, all of which lie within the physical alteration of the gene. Genes are very specific and will only work correctly in certain ways. Although scientists...

...and enforce contracts. Second is the freedom of choice. This is basically for the business to act by itself; to have control over who to hire and allocate their resources as they see fit. Third is to have profits. Without profit, there is hardly any attraction to creating an enterprise when there are no benefits. Profit plays a great deal in influencing the behavior and decisions of individuals who are looking for a more rewarding opportunity in terms of money or advantage. Last but not least is competition, which is the drive for businesses to constantly raise standards and operate efficiently. Because the third element, profit, exists, businesses always want to gain and be the superior. Just like how everyone has different motives, personalties, and goals, businesses also have various natures in terms of its capacity, size, products and more. In a perfect competition, the firms are smaller scaled competing with a large number of other firms in the same industry. In this system, they usually strive to produce cheaply and in large amounts. In a monopolistic...

...Psycho revolutionized the horror genre and has created a following of its own — allowing for multiple adaptations to come from it. Both Hitchcock and Sant use near parallel footage, script and tone in their adaptation but through the enunciation of their shots the differences rise. Enunciation is rather than what is happening, like Norman having multiple personalties, it is how that is being pushed across through its median. By looking at the enunciation of both Hitchcock and Sant this is how different analysis’ rise. Sant's adaptation of the both murder scenes of the Detective Milton Arbogast and Marion Crane creates a psychedelic and playful atmosphere, whereas Hitchcock intertwines tension and realism resulting in a more serious and glory...

...Marry Me MISFIT. By kerra white Marry Me Mistfit, That is not a joke. The Mistfit seems to be a mysterious guy, who honestly has no idea why he was being punished, "I call myself The Misfit […] because I can't make what all I done wrong fit what all I gone through in punishment" (Pg. ). The story goes thorough and he is the major topic on people’s mind ever since he escaped the ‘pin’. He seems intelligent, but is the one character that actually questions life and religion. The Misfit was Put away in Prison for killing his father, but as the story goes on, he questions why he was punished, he was convinced that he had not killed his father. He spoke with certainly that His father, Had died from the epidemic flu, and he was charged with a false crime."It was a head doctor who said what I had done was kill my daddy but I known that for a lie. My daddy died in nineteen ought nineteen of the epidemic flu and I never had a thing to do with it. He was buried in the Mount Hopewell Baptist churchyard and you can go there and see for yourself." (pg.) The Misfit seems to be a very confusing person, He was talking to the old Lady about where he came from, and when the old lady asked about his parents, he told her that they were the “finest people in the world” (pg.), and even states that his “daddy’s heart was pure gold” (Pg.). But what seems to be the question was the misfit lying about killing his father or was he innocent? The question is never really told, but from the ending...

...Faust is a very interesting figure in the context of how is depicted both textually, and artistically. I find it very interesting that Faust almost has multiple personalties the way depictions of him vary as time goes on. It seems that Faust as person can be depicted many ways depending on who's depiction your going off of. We may never know Faust’s true identity, but in my personal opinion, that adds to the intriguing character that he has become none as. whether he be depicted good or bad. The first image of Faust depicts him later on in his life as he looks to be in his 60’s. Drawn in 1652 by Rembrandt, the image is given its mysterious qualities by the bright light the contains letter and symbols inside of it. Faust seems to be focused...

...Personal Values: Kudler Fine Foods MGT/521 11/12/10 Dr. Olivia Herriford Personal Values: Kudler Fine Foods Determining personal values and designing a format for individual ethics requires dedication. According to McGraw-Hill Higher Education (2009), “The generally accepted principles of right and wrong governing the conduct of individuals” (Glossary, para. 16) is the definition of personal ethics. One tool that helps to understand this term is the software program the Ethics Awareness Inventory by The Williams Institute. This comprehensive assessment breaks down individual perspectives pertaining to specific situations presented within the program and provides insight relating to ethical decision making. Personal values The Williams Institute breaks down ethical values in four categories known by the acronym CORE. CORE stands for Character, Obligation, Results, and Equality (The Williams Institute, 2008). The perspective I most closely related to was Obligation with 24 points. In this area, Obligation is about duty, what a rational person ought to do morally as opposed to what her or she should do (The Williams Institute, 2008). Additionally, through the Obligation perspective, I am supportive to providing opportunities for individuals to grow and learn. This assessment also provides the perspective least aligned with individual values. My assessed perspective was Character, where I received -24 points. The definition of Character is “what is good to be rather...
