...reviewing my lecture notes along with studying for my exams. The first focus that is important for me to keep consistent is my time management skills. Before I did not have a set strategy for how I am going to execute this so I just went with the flow as the day passed. This was a not beneficial for me because for anything that happened unexpected, I was not prepared with a backup plan to get caught up. I would instead wait until later on during the week to catch up on what I missed so I decided to make an schedule/planner. In the morning I go to the gym before lectures that way I have energy to go about my day. In between lectures, I use to walk back to residence to take a nap, but now I stay on campus and spend time in open seminar rooms where I catch up on my readings. When the day finishes, I double check to make sure I have my readings finished before next day’s lecture and if I do, I allow myself to hang out with my friends by going to the gym at night or watching television. Overall, I think I’m doing a decent job of making this an everyday habit. The only criticism I have for myself in regards to time management is making sure I check my email everyday since I learned my lesson for missing assignments for the STEP program. Another focus I am keeping consistent is my attendance. Last term I use to miss some morning classes due to sleeping in, but with the planner I have made for myself that is no longer a problem since I’m a the gym every morning before...

...August 25, 2015 To: Kaci Bray From: Joseph Kolega Subject: Orientation – Freshman Point of view Hello, I am a freshman at KU this semester. Before this, however, I went through an admissions process along with my orientation to follow. For the most part my transition from high school student to college student was nearly seamless. Looking back at the entire process, there are a few air bubbles I think if smoothed out could benefit not only the incoming freshman, but the university as a whole. Seminars? I will admit I’m not fully adept in courses at KU just yet, nor will I ever be. One thing that irked me orientation day was the hour long lecture on how critical a seminar class will be to our KU core. Now I understand this is a huge thing in liberal education, but gearing everyone for an hour to take one course they will never use isn’t justified when there are 100 other courses I could choose that weren’t as heavily endorsed. The school biased common book seminars, and I almost felt as though they were sticking their hand in my education, to be dramatic. Account Issues Once it was time to log in and finally enroll into our courses, I hit a road block when I found out we were supposed to have our KU ID and password already memorized and ready to go. Being told to walk all the way up to a different hall to reset my account was troubling and ultimately put me behind in line to pick ideal class times. I take partial accountability for my lack of knowledge on my own account...

...Darrellynn Tapp HS210-MOM Unit 9 Seminar option 2 K. Drennen Kaplan University What are some effective ways to improve employee morale? When improving employee morale it first starts with the employee. Recognizing the value of your employee is very important. You must know that they are just as important as you are. They can be replaced but then you are dealing with the cost of advertising and pulling in someone new. Letting the employee know that they are appreciated. Just a simple few words such as thanks or a job well done will help increase the morale among employees. Giving out perks, sponser social events, have special lunches as well as cash bonuses, even pinics for the employees and their families. Having a great work environment can improve employee morale. A dull office setting lacking light and color can cause depression and the lack of motivation. Putting some spark into the office can lighten up employees spirit. Make sure the values and ethics of the company are of those employees can take pride in. Most employees in the work force want to work for a company they can trust and believe in. Be loyal to your employees. If business starts to decline, find ways to keep employees without cut backs or lay offs. Be sure to offer promotions and pay raises to those who deserve it. What are five (5) examples of community involvement that may help a medical practice grow? Explain each. * Doctors volunteering at the health...

...Unit 3: Seminar Assignment MT480-01: Corporate Finance Alicia Turner Kaplan University Professor: S. Lacewell January 21, 2012 Seminar Assignment Unit 3 1.) What effects do changing interest rates have on bonds? The effects of changing interest rates on bonds would be the bond prices. If the interest rates tend to increase then the bond value will go lower and if the interest decreases then the bond value would be higher. In a case of purchasing a bond, the bond starts off with a fixed rate until it starts to mature. For example, if i were to purchase a bond at $5,000 with a 5% rate for 10 years, if the interest goes up to 6% then the value of the bond that I purchased would decrease and it would be beneficial for me to sell that bond at a discounted price. 2.) How are stocks prices related to expected dividends? Stock prices are related to expected dividends due the return that a person would receive on their stock. If the stock prices increase then your return would also increase. If the stock decreases then the expected dividend would remain the same as when the stock was purchased. 3.) How does the P/E ratio relate to the value of a stock? The P/E ratio is related to the value of stock due to the fact that it lets an investor/buyer know how much they are willing to pay per dollar of earnings. For instance, if a P/E ratio is 40 it would tell us that an investor is willing to pay $40 for every $1 of earnings that is generated by that company. References ...

...Seminar is a play by Theresa Rebeck that premiered on Broadway in 2011. It follows four aspiring writers who pay for a supposed great writer – Leonard – to come and critique their writing weekly. Each writer is their own personality. There is the rich, uppity, nerd-type (Kate), the quieter, reserved, and talented one (Martin), the ditzy, manipulative, and sexy one (Izzy), and the extravagant, smart, and connected one (Douglas). Leonard is depicted as brash, rude, cruel, and unpardonable. The story goes on to where Martin and Leonard connect and see their similarities and work together to better themselves. A theme that immediately jumps at you is conflict. Throughout the play, there is conflict every other conversation. High tension exists between most characters, especially between those of different sexes. Examples are Kate and Leonard throughout most of the play and Martin and Douglas (though one-sided) in scene one, two, and so on. Another theme that is prevalent is the idea that sex sells and that sex will get you everywhere you want to be. This is shown when Izzy writes a story that Leonard deems sexy, and they proceed to pursue a sexual relationship. It could also be interpreted that sexism could be a theme when sex is not available. When Kate submits a story, being defined as a “prude,” Leonard is bored before ending the first sentence, and is bored with her immediately every time following. That is, until she submits something under the guise of a transvestite...

...HW205: Vitamins, Herbs and Nutritional Supplements Seminar Option 2 1.) Define the differences between the following terms: a) Natural Medicine vs. Biomedicine Natural Medicine is considered alternative medicine, which is any medical therapy that is not a synthetic drug or surgery. Natural medicine is the science and art of preventing, curing, or alleviating ill health by using treatment modalities in harmony with the laws of nature. Natural medicine cares for and treats individuals not disease entities. Biomedicine refers to conventional medicine. Biomedicine is based on the biological understanding of the organism. There is emphasis on disease and high technology rather than on health and individualized care. b) Plant vs. Drugs Plant is something that is grown in nature that is natural. A drug is something that is chemically processed in order to create the substance that is wanted. c) Vitamins vs. Minerals Vitamins are organic compounds that release energy from food, develop red blood cells, help in blood clotting and help in maintaining healthy skin, eye, and hair. All vitamins are required by the human body for healthy nutrition. Minerals have a denfinite chemical composition, minerals are inorganic compounds, and they help in bone and tooth formation, blood coagulation and muscle contraction. Only some minerals are required by the human body for nutrition. d) Plant Constituents vs. Accessory Nutrients Accessory nutrients are beneficial...

...In the selected article “The RSVP Cycles” written by Halprin (1969), the author introduces RSVP cycles, which is a system of creative methodology for collaboration. The selected article highlights the importance of “scores”, which are representations of the creative, design and decision making processes. Thus, “scores” are very indispensable in the entire RSVP circle. In these two selected articles, Halprin thinks scores are the key link in the entire RSVP circle. I believe this is correct because scores directly influence the final design and decisions and also encourage public participation before the performance is fixed. In the entire RSVP circle, the “score” is ideally a collective process of “doing”, which is also the design or decision making process. Scores describe the processes leading to performance, which is an instruction for the work, such as the master plan in landscape. Scores can be used as a means of communication tool, such as the words or plans. Scores can be the means of control, such as a set of construction documents. In the phase of the “score,” all of us can be involved in the decision making process. For example, there are typically public comments made during the development of landscape master plans. Landscape master plans can be considered as a “score” and are typically the outcome of a standardized “design process”. The standard rational design process is a step-by-step method that considers the environmental constrains, opportunities,...

...What is the American Dream? Rafael Cruz once said, “Only in America can someone start with nothing and achieve the American Dream. That’s the greatness of this country.” The American Dream depends on the person, many people have different views and what they believe in. When asking my mom, Sue Stoll what she believes the American Dream is; she stated “The American Dream in my eyes is being successful by yourself or with a significant other, overcoming obstacles, always trying to better yourself and society, and living with what you have.” Over the years, the America Dream has changed; it depends on where you were brought up, how you were brought up, and what you were taught as a young child and teen. The influence your parents had on you has a lot to do with how you want to be and how you see America. After hearing my mom’s view on the American Dream, I see where I get my idea of the American dream of. So what does the American Dream mean to me? In my eyes, the American dream is not being wealthy, living in a mansion in New York City, and having the newest and best things in the world. The American Dream in my eyes is, being happy whether you have it all or have nothing, being successful, and living the life you would be proud to look back on. From the day I could talk my parents always told me to be thankful for what I have. As I grew older I was taught they would provide my needs but my wants was all on me. Growing up we lived a simple life, we didn’t do things or have...

...Seminar Report Security Issues in MANETs Abhishek Seth 04329001 November12 ,2004 Abstract Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANET) has become an exciting and important technology in recent years because of the rapid proliferation of wireless devices. A mobile adhoc network consists of mobile nodes that can move freely in an open environment. Communicating nodes in a Mobile Adhoc Network usually seek the help of other intermediate nodes to establish communication channels. In such an environment, malicious intermediate nodes can be a threat to the security of conversation between mobile nodes. The security experience from the Wired Network world is of little use in Wireless Mobile Ad hoc networks, due to some basic differences between the two Networks. Therefore, some novel solutions are required to make Mobile Adhoc Network secure. problems of secuirity in MANETs. Further sections deals with some of the solutions to these problems. Finally Section 10 concludes this article. 2 2.1 Mobile Adhoc Networks Introduction 1 Introduction Mobile Adhoc Network (MANET) is a collection of independent mobile nodes that can communicate to each other via radio waves. The mobile nodes that are in radio range of each other can directly communicate, whereas others needs the aid of intermediate nodes to route their packets. These networks are fully distributed, and can work at any place without the help of any infrastructure. This property makes these networks highly flexible and robost...

...Jesus: Advocating Community Some would say God, or the author of Genesis, got it right: "It is not good for man to be alone." For as long as there have been humans, there have been communities. We are communal beings. From the first small tribes to the modern day mega cities, communities have evolved just as much as the human species. There are many ways that one can identify with a community. Human beings as well as many other species, especially primates, need these groupings as much as most social animals. Watch as every Sunday thousands sit distant from their closest sports field, straining to see the players, although they can far more easily watch the game at home in the comfort of their living rooms. Yet, in modern times, the community seems to be falling apart. They are not as strong as they once were. It is time we look back to the social climate that forged one of the most influential revolutionaries of all time. The historical Jesus of Nazareth. As John Crossan said “If the supreme value for the twentieth-century American imagination is individualism , based on economics and property, that for the first-century Mediterranean imagination can be called, to the contrary, groupism.” Our society has experienced major social shifts that would be unimaginable to a small Jewish town in ancient Palestine. Individuals no longer realize they need to rely on others in the way they once did. Modern technology has pushed us farther and farther into our own homes and away...
