...Amy Lecroy May 20, 2012 Block 4B Avatar Essay Throughout history people have often encountered others with very different cultures, belief systems, and lifestyles. In order to work and live together peacefully, a common understanding and engagement of other cultures needs to occur. However, other choices to respond to differences exist; the option to ignore differences, or to reject the others culture and beliefs are just two counter-productive responses to difference. This scenario is no different in terms of the relations between the Na’vi and the humans in the film Avatar. The two cultures are indeed very different, and their interaction mirrors the real-life cultures in our planet’s history. By far the most important difference between Na'vi and humans is zahelu, their ability to overcome the isolation of embodied existence through direct neural interface with other living creatures. The central nexus of human sadness, from the fall of Adam onward, has always been our paradoxical estrangement from the nature of which we are still inescapably a part. The rift between nature and culture cannot be resolved either by returning to nature or by eradicating it completely—it must remain forever an unresolved tension. And, from agriculture and domestication of animals to repression of our own instincts, we have only been able to bridge the gap through brute domination. The Na'vi, with zahelu, are able to achieve what we cannot: a relationship between culture and nature that...

...League of Legends is a multiplayer online battle arena where players control a "champion"[6] in order to be matched in a short PvP battle or bot game. As of February 27, 2014, there are 118 different Champions from which to choose. Players gain levels from killing the opposing team's Champions, controlled by other players or bots, and minions that regularly spawn and attack the other team's turrets, minions, and champions. In the classic game mode, the map is typically divided into "lanes", which are paths that spawned minions take, the "jungle", an area between lanes where neutral monsters spawn, and "bases", where players spawn and can purchase items. The primary map, Summoner's Rift, features three lanes, commonly referred to as top lane, where bruisers (partially damage, partially tanky) and tank type champions tend to go. Mid lane, where assassins and burst damage carries tend to go, and bot lane, where the ranged DPS (damage per second) carries and their supports tend to go. The jungle is sometimes considered a lane, where an assassin or tank champion tends to roam in order to collect buffs and assist in the other lanes freely. The player earns a small amount of gold every second passively, but can earn more by getting the last hit on minions, destroying enemy towers (referred to as turrets) that guard the lanes, neutral monsters located in the jungle, and killing enemy champions. With this gold, users can buy a variety of items to strengthen their champion for the duration...

...According to Worthington (2005), hope-focused marriage counseling consists of a “blueprint” that is reported to help couples to improve their relationship. Based on this blueprint, the marital counseling involves the following components: goal, focus, strategy, target areas, and interventions (Worthington, 2005). The overall goal according to this blueprint is to produce stronger marriages instead of those filled with strain and trouble. Although this is the overall goal, it must be appropriate for each individual within the marriage. The focus component of this blueprint is based on building hope within marriages. Hope can be described according to a three-part theory consisting of willpower, waypower, and waitpower. It has been reported that hope is developed when we have the mental willpower to change and the waypower to reach our goals (Worthington, 2000). God is our source of hope and we are expected to look to Him to help instill hope in our relationships. As a counselor, it is important to have a specific plan or approach to use within the counseling session. Not having a plan in place causes a client to be confused. This goes to show that strategy, the next component within the blueprint, is very important. Worthington (2000) shared that he uses the strategy of “faith working through love” as a way of including God’s approach to helping others. Once a plan or strategy has been established, it is critical that the counselor use the information gathered from the assessment...

...aid couples in their area of need and even the professionals sometimes have to adjust in order to aid in their healing. Couple counseling just as any counseling takes hard work and dedication. The intake process is vital to the couple’s outcome and what’s even more important is how the counselor addresses the couple’s issues after the intake process (Ripley & Worthington, 2014). It is important for counselors to figure out the best treatment to fit the needs of the couple specifically. Ripley provides four questions to aid in those treatment decisions; they will be referred to as AFTR. AFTR stands for appropriate, fit, typical and relevant (Ripley& Worthington, 2014). After reading this week’s lesson the question that stood out most states: Is couple counseling appropriate for this couple? Of the four questions, the most important is the question of appropriateness because in order to begin any treatment one must first find the issue and provide the best resolution according to those issues. Couple therapy can be contraindicated as determined by research studies and discussions amongst clinicians (Ripley & Worthington, 2014). The text breaks down different circumstances in which a couple may need to seek a different form of treatment before couple therapy can be effective. It would not be in the best interest of the clients to start a counseling process that is counterproductive. It is the goal of the counselor to assist clients with methods to overcome their issues so that...

...Metcalf & Associates Significantly Impacts Worthington Industries Bottom Line by Facilitating Successful ERP Transition by Maureen Metcalf Company Profile ‘One of the Most Admired Companies’ in its industry per Fortune magazine, Worthington Industries, founded in 1955, grew from humble beginnings to a multi-billion dollar metal processing company. Today, the firm employs 8,000 people in 67 facilities throughout 11 countries. The company’s success is credited to its customer-centered philosophy, based on the Golden Rule.

Challenge and Vision With the continuing growth and diversification of Worthington Industries, inventories naturally grew as well. As with many manufacturing firms, inventory has a significant impact on revenue and cash flow. Maintaining inventories larger than necessary negatively impacts the bottom line. Thus, the firm wanted to gain better insight into their inventories and processes and increase their supply chain informationto a higher level of detail. The company had a vision of further improving the level of customer service, while using less working capital and inventory. In order to achieve this goal, every process that impacted supply chain management and inventory needed to be closely evaluated. Surfacing every issue that could be preventing the firm from providing...

...Whilst no single agreed upon definition exists, there are a set of common elements that underlie these constructs. Rumination can be broadly described as a cognitive process involving conscious repetitive thoughts which revolve around a common theme, and are present even in the absence of immediate environmental demands requiring those thoughts (Martin & Tesser, 1996). Nolen-Hoeksema, Wisco and Lyubomirsky (2008) conceptualise rumination as a way of responding to distress involving repetitively and passively focusing on the event or cause of the distress. Forgiveness can be described in general terms as a reduction in feelings of hurt, avoidance of the transgressor, and revenge-seeking (McCullough, Rachal, Sandage, Worthington, Brown and Hight, 1998). Worthington and Wade (1999) go a step further in distinguishing between forgiveness and unforgiveness. They...

Please note that the content of this Lecture Guide is listed in its recommended teaching order, rather than in numerical order. Indicative Content: 1.1.1 Explain the business organisation as a transformation process: • Business organisations undergo a transformation process from inputs into outputs, using physical inputs plus finance and skills to produce both goods and services. • Use examples from both manufacturing and service sector organisations to illustrate the process. 1.1.2 Describe the different ways in which a business may structure its activities: • Organisational structures can be based on the functions of the organisation, its product ranges, or geographical regions. Alternatively some less hierarchical organisations may use a matrix structure, especially if the firm is project based. 1.2.1 Discuss the complexity, volatility and uniqueness of an organisation's environment: • The organisation in its environment has to face a wide range of internal and external influences which affect business activity. • The immediate or operational environment interacts with suppliers, competitors, the labour market and financial institutions. • The general or contextual environment consists of economic, political, legal, and social factors. Each functional area of the organisation may be affected. • Whilst organisations have some...

...Forgiveness a few years ago. One of the verses goes like this, “It’ll clear the bitterness away. It can even set a prisoner free. There is no end to what it’s power can do. So, let go and be amazed by what you see through the eyes of grace, the prisoner that it really frees is you” (West, 2012). This song has had an incredible impact on my life because it showed me the power of forgiveness. It caused me to realize that I need to forgive others, just as Christ forgave me (Matthew 6:14, ESV). When it comes to the marriage relationship, forgiveness is crucial. The most important aspect of the FREE model is decision (Ripley & Worthington, 2014, p. 285). Couples must decide whether or not to forgive...

...out of here, so things like the 1 lb propane are common in households here, but now with the rise of the dab many more households will consume and discard them. I can only imagine that within the past 5 years the sales of the Coleman Propane Cylinders probably have increased 10 fold. Now I know the good folks at Coleman or even Worthington Industries have never really considered why or if they did find out would they care? Because in the end it's all about the bottom line in most of Corporate America. I reached out to Coleman to find out the sales trend within the past 6 years, because that would reflect when Washington State had Dab bars and dabbing became a thing, but I was directed to Worthington Industries because Coleman no longer deals with the manufacturing and sales. I reached out to Worthington and this was their reply Sales and recycle info: Good Morning: Thank you for your email! While we cannot divulge sales statistics, I can tell you that the Coleman cylinders are recyclable---if your community has a recycler which will accept them. Many do not, as is their right, since the product which filled the containers is flammable. Worthington recommends that you contact your locality's Solid Waste Authority to see about finding recyclers near you. If there are none, the tanks can be bagged and included in your normal trash. Best Regards, Chuck This response and secrecy is the corporate bullshit that is killing our planet. I'm not asking for your secret sauce, just...
