Document Analysis The Marriage of the Virgin Essay

I have chosen The Marriage of the Virgin as a document analysis because I want to contrast this work with works of Perugino, especially Christ giving the Keys to St Peter (1481-1482) and also The Marriage of the Virgin (1500-1504). Raphael was commissioned to produce the work by the Albizzini family of Citta di Castello (scala 8) for the chapel of St Joseph in the Church of San Francesco. In comparison to the two works of Perugino the similarities are easily recognised. However although we can date Perugino’s earlier work between 1481and1482, his Marriage of the Virgin can only be dated from between 1500 and 1504. Raphael helpfully named himself and dated his work in the middle of the temple and so we know definitely it was finished in 1504, so although it would seem likely, one should be cautious to date Perugino’s Marriage of the Virgin earlier than Raphael’s. In 1504 Raphael was twenty one years old and was still an apprentice in the school of Perugino,and he executed it prior to his stay in Florence, and so it is natural to assume his work was still greatly influenced by his master. The painting has significant parallels with the Christ giving the Keys to St Peter in the Sistine Chapel. As in the earlier fresco, Raphael uses the same structural format. The pavilion is the dominating central focus which gives the depth of the scene in relation to the figures of the foreground. The figures between the pavilion and the frontal scene is proportional in size  and shows Raphael’s confidence in the use of perspective. The landscape shows the influence of Perugino, the viewer may get a sense of tranquility and stillness which one may also associate with the actual landscapes of Umbria, and speaking from experience I certainly did. When looking in detail at the figures in the foreground one can see the influence of Perugino within the faces of the characters. The faces of the ladies and indeed the men either side of the Joseph and Mary all have the serene, graceful and introspective qualities one would associate with Perugino. The ladies with their small mouths seem hard to differentiate from Perugino’s own figures.From these similarities it may be said that at this time Raphael was truly a disciple of Perugino and Painter in his style. Although there is much to associate Raphael with the school of Perugino within this painting, there can also be seen that within the work Raphael has started to move away from his masters style and also out-master the master! Bruno Santi in â€Å"Raphael, The Great Masters of Art† (p10) writes of Raphael’s superiority in the use of Perspective in comparison to Perugino. He cites Perugino’s fresco in the Sistine chapel is developed horizontally which is characteristic of the Quattrocento whereas Raphael uses a ‘well developed’ circular composition. The temple in Raphael’s representation is a polygonal building seemingly more complex than Perugino’s temple but perfectly portrayed and gives one a sense of Raphael’s complete confidence of the new architectural designs which were emerging through people such as Bramante and Da Vinci and it has been argued that their influence can be seen in this work.

A burglary

As I found him suspicious,l continued to monitor his movements. Seeing the man crouching close to the bushes and casting furtive glances every few seconds as he made his way to the black door. ‘ continued to watch him until he climbed over the fence and realized that he was a burglary. Racking my brains as fast as I could and I decided to call the police and my neighbor,whose name was Peter. After calling them,l told them what I witnessed in a muffled frenzy. After a short while,the police were arrived at Pewter's house. The sirens of the police car reverberated through the air. Ran down towards them and told them the burglary was inside. Just then,he was fleeing from the house. L shouted,†let is him! â€Å"the policemen hurriedly ran to catch him.

The Role of Dreams in the Human Psyche

Plan: 1) The history of dream perception in indigenous cultures. 2) The modern theories of sleep and dream interpretation. 3) Jung's archetypes. The Meaning of Sleep and Dreams identified by Freud, Jung, and other theorists. We all dream. Every night – as we dim the light of consciousness – we enter the realm of the dream. In this dream state our imagination runs free with little or no interference from our conscious mind. In the morning, when we awaken and return to consciousness, we may bring with us a recollection of the wanderings of our imagination – we remember the dream. To dream is natural, it is a universal experience. All people of all cultures enter into this dream state when they sleep. As sleep research has shown even animals dream. How we regard the dream, however, varies from culture to culture and from person to person. Originally the dream was held to be the voice of God. Most indigenous cultures hold that the dream is sent by the Great Spirit and serves to offer advice and instruction. This idea of the divinity of the dream can also to be found in ancient Egyptian and Greek society. In the Old Testament Jacob interprets a dream for the Egyptian pharaoh. Jacob explains that God has spoken to the pharaoh and warned of seven years of prosperity to be followed by seven years of famine. In Egypt and Greece the dream was considered as a message from the gods. â€Å"The Egyptian people believed that the gods revealed themselves in dreams, but the soul was not transported to another place or time. The Egyptians believed that dreams served as warnings, advice, and prophecy† (Agee, 2010) http://people. uncw. edu/deagona/ancientnovel (Diane Agee, 1). Both Egyptian and Greek society there existed temples where one would go to dream and receive healing or instruction from the gods. Homer's Iliad (8th century BC) tells the story of Agamemnon who receives instruction from Zeus through a dream. â€Å"Another element of Homeric dream interpretation, similar to that of the Egyptians is that not all dreams are prophetic, so people had to attempt to distinguish between â€Å"true† dreams and â€Å"false† dreams. For example, in the Iliad Zeus sent a misleading dream to King Agamemnon, which undermined his authorityâ€Å"(Agee). In this practice the sleepers actively attempted contact with divine beings. This practice reflects the Homeric view of dreams; according to this view â€Å"the dream was not conceived as internal experience, a state of mind, or a message from the irrational unconscious to the conscious ego. Rather, it was an objectified messenger, a supernatural agent sent by a deity† (Parman pg. 18)â€Å"(Agee). Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, used dreams as a diagnostic aid. In the near East the dream was considered to be a source of divine inspiration. Mohammed, the founding prophet of the Islamic culture, is said to have received much of what is written in the Koran through his dreams. In Christian tradition the dream was thought of as the word of God, or the work of the devil. The biblical legacy pertaining to dreams is very important. There are descriptions of forty-three dreams in the Old Testament, while in the New Testament there are nine (including apparitions and visions) (Sokolovskii, p. 27). St. John Chrysostom preached that God revealed himself through dreams (The life of St. John Chrysostom, para. 5, thenewarchive. om, p. 229 ), whilst other church fathers, such as Martin Luther, viewed the dream as the work, not of God, but the Devil. According to Luther it was the church, and only the church, which was the conduit of God's word. For Luther revelations made to people in dreams could only be diabolic (The Legacy of Martin Luther). http://home. inreach. com/bstanley/luther. htm In the Christian epoch the church and its s criptures supplanted the importance of the dream. The dominance of Christianity obscured the divinity of the dream, which was now considered superstitious. The rise of rationalism and science further undermined the value of the dream. To this day skepticism toward the value dream remains the predominant attitude. In the early part of the 20th century, however, the dream was championed by two great psychologists, Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung. For Freud the dream revealed that which the dreamer would rather keep hidden. By exploring the dream one was forced to face that which was suppressed and rejected within oneself. Jung had another theory. Jung felt that the dream acted as a mirror for the ego – revealing that which was missing within the consciousness of the dreamer. For Jung the dream acted as a teacher and guide on the road toward wholeness. With the work of both Jung and Freud the dream regained its status as a source of wisdom and healing. A series of dreams would develop, balance and refine the conscious awareness of the dreamer. Jung had rediscovered the age-old wisdom of the dream and its capacity to heal and make whole. Apart from healing, the dreams also seemed to be encouraging and actively participating in the growth and development of the personality. Jung termed this inherent drive of the psyche as the force of individuation, the force by which we become whole and indivisible. Freud, â€Å"The Interpretation of Dreams†: The conscious element of the dream lies in its remembrance, the unconscious element lies in its mystery and perplexity. Half conscious, half unconscious, the dream acts as a bridge between the known and the unknown. Physiological Theories and Stages of Sleep So now that we know why we need sleep, we need to know what is the thing, that actually puts us to sleep. Some may recognize the name melatonin, because it is sometimes prescribed for jet-lag or sleep deprivation. But we also create this chemical inside our bodies, although it is in much smaller portions. ttp://library. thinkquest. org Melatonin is a hormone secreted from the pineal gland in the center of our brain. â€Å"It is released when our eyes begin to register that the sun is beginning to set and darkness begins to fall†. This is the hormone that makes you go to sleep and is also used in our body to regulate our sleep-wake cycles. If you wonder why older people ten d to sleep less than younger people, it is because the amount of melatonin produced in our body seems to lessen as we age. Although sleep research has yielded a great deal of information on how we sleep, why we need to do so remains a mystery. There are two prominent theories of sleep function. One — the restorative model –assumes that sleep exists to service the brain in some way. According to this theory, non-REM sleep restores the relationship between the nervous system and muscles, glands, immune and other body systems. REM sleep maintains learning, reasoning and emotional balance. Another — the adaptive model — holds that sleep exists as an adaption to our biological clocks. Because it normally takes place during times of reduced physiological functions it may be a means of preserving energy for the hours when it is needed (source Are you Getting Enough? Harvard Women's Health Watch, 1070910X. March 94, Vol. 1, Is. 7. Academic Search Complete) Cortical and neurological theories of sleep compete with the neurohumoral theory, developed in the first quarter of the twentieth century. The brainstem theory, formulated in 1962, was associated with the discovery of a small region of cells in the brainstem thought responsible for dream generation and the secretion of acetylcholine. It gave way in the 1970s to the cortical-brainstem theory (the production of dopamine in the lobes of the brain was associated with dreaming). It became clear, moreover, that destruction of this group of cells due to injury leads to the extinction of dreams but not of the phase of paradoxical sleep† (Sokolovskii, p. 17). This poses the issue of the presence or absence of dreams in animals. If animals do dream, their dreaming † is probably limited to what Freud called Tagesreste (residues of daytime impressions) and â€Å"childish dreams,† the significance of which lies in the fulfillment of desires unfulfilled in the waking state†(p. 17). The so called work of dreaming, which encodes the true meaning of a dream (condensation, displacement, symbolization, repression, and the other mechanisms of dreaming that make its content non-obvious and decodable only through interpretation), â€Å"is apparently connected with the presence of developed language and with the play of signifiers and is conditioned by it† (p. 17). It therefore cannot exist in animals that do not have such a developed second signal system. A typical night's sleep consists of a number of cycles lasting about 90 minutes in length. Each of these cycles is made up of four separate stages. During stage one, we are entering into light sleep. This stage is characterized by Non-rapid eye movements (NREM), muscle relaxation, lowered body temperature and slowed heart rate. The body is preparing to enter into deep sleep. Stage two is also characterized by NREM, this stage is characterized by a further drop in body temperature and relaxation of the muscles. The body's immune system goes to work on repairing the day's damage, the endocrine glands secrete grown hormone and blood is sent to the muscles to be reconditioned. In this stage, you are completely asleep. Stage three is just a deeper sleep. Your metabolic levels are extremely slow. And, finally, the famous REM, or rapid eye movement stage, occurs about every ninety minutes of sleep. In this stage of sleep, your eyes move back and forth erratically. It occurs at about 90-100 minutes after the onset of sleep. Your blood pressure rises, heart rate speeds up, respiration becomes erratic and brain activity increases (source). Your involuntary muscles also become paralyzed. It is called in the mnemonic for medical students as an â€Å"awake brain in the paralyzed body†, as opposed to stage one through three characterized as â€Å"idle brain in the awake body†. An EEG would record brain waves resembling those you would see when you are active. This stage is the most restorative part of sleep. Your mind is being revitalized and emotions are being fine tuned. The majority of your dreaming occurs in this stage. These stages repeat themselves throughout a night's sleep. (source) The following diagram shows our sleep cycle: source Sleep Wake Cycle The Meaning of Sleep and Dreams Identified by Freud, Jung and other theorists The function of dreams is that by reproducing difficult or unsolved life situations or experiences, the dream aids towards a solving or resolution of the problems. pic]â‚ ¬Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€š ¬ Freud called dreaming â€Å"the royal road to the unconscious† Our personality as a whole, like every organism, is working towards its own fulfillment. ’ He connects this even more directly with the overall self-regulatory physical processes in saying ‘There is in the psyche an automatic movement to ward readjustment, towards equilibrium, toward a restoration of the balance of our personality. This automatic adaptation of the organism is one of the main functions of the dream as indeed it is of bodily functions and of the personality as a whole. Dreams are the product of the unconscious mind . In the deeper state of Delta, our minds are resting even more fully and we are further distanced from the physical world. Perhaps it is in this state that we can receive cues from the energy of people and situations that we are connected with in waking life or from Jung's collective unconscious. Since dreams were a way of communicating with the unconscious, Jung felt that the imageries in dreams were a way of revealing something about ourselves, our relationships with others, and situations in our waking life. Dreams guided our personal growth and helped to self achieve our potential. Often discussing what is currently going on in your life, helps to interpret and unlock the cryptic and bizarre images of your dreams. Jung’s sleep theories are closely associated with his f archetypes. Jung's theory divides the psyche into three parts. The first is the ego, which Jung identified with the conscious mind. The second part is the personal unconscious, which includes anything which is not presently conscious, but can be. The personal unconscious includes both memories that re easily brought to mind and those that have been suppressed because of being painful or too difficult to accept as a part of reality for some people. But it does not include the instincts, or id – aggressive drives, that Freud would have it include. But then Jung adds the part of the psyche that makes his theory stand out from all others: the collective unconscious. You could call it your â€Å"psychic inherita nce. † It is the reservoir of our experiences as a species, a kind of knowledge we are all born with. And yet we can never be directly conscious of it. It influences all of our experiences and behaviors, most especially the emotional ones, but we only know about it indirectly, by looking at those influences. There are some experiences that show the effects of the collective unconscious more clearly than others: The experiences of love at first sight, of deja vu (the feeling that you've been here before), and the immediate recognition of certain symbols and the meanings of certain myths, could all be understood as the sudden conjunction of our outer reality and the inner reality of the collective unconscious. Grander examples are the creative experiences shared by artists and musicians all over the world and in all times, or the spiritual experiences of mystics of all religions, or the parallels in dreams, fantasies, mythologies, fairy tales, and literature of different cultures. A nice example that has been greatly discussed recently is the near-death experience. It seems that many people, of many different cultural backgrounds, find that they have very similar recollections when they are brought back from a close encounter with death. They speak of leaving their bodies, seeing their bodies and the events surrounding them clearly, of being pulled through a long tunnel towards a bright light, of seeing deceased relatives or religious figures waiting for them, and of their disappointment at having to leave this happy scene to return to their bodies. Perhaps we are all â€Å"built† to experience death in this fashion. Quite a few people find that Jung has a great deal to say to them. They include writers, artists, musicians, film makers, theologians, and, of course, some psychologists. Examples that come to mind are the mythologist Joseph Campbell, the film maker George Lucas, and the science fiction author Ursula K. Le Guin. Anyone interested in creativity, spirituality, psychic phenomena, the universal, and so on will find in Jung a kindred spirit. But scientists, including psychologists, have a lot of trouble with Jung. Not only does he fully support the teleological view (as do most personality theorists), but he goes a step further and talks about the mystical interconnectedness of synchronicity. Not only does he postulate an unconscious, where things are not easily available to the empirical eye, but he postulates a collective unconscious that never has been and never will be conscious. There is still a lot of work to be done to connect our knowledge in physiology and psychology of dreams. The French neurophysiologist Michel Jouvet, author of the novel Le chateau des songes [The Castle of Dreams ] (Jouvet 2000) and discoverer of the phase of paradoxical sleep, analyzed 6,600 of his own dreams before concluding that two kinds of memory—long-term and short-term—were used in them. Physiologists have yet to reach a consensus concerning the mechanisms of sleep and dreaming.

Presentation,Practice and Production approach to language teaching Dissertation

Presentation,Practice and Production approach to language teaching between the critiques and the proposed alternative methods - Dissertation Example Cook (2011) maintained that the term foreign language refers to â€Å"a language acquired in a milieu where it is normally in use† (p. 140). Meanwhile, a second language may be defined as â€Å"one that becomes another tool of communication alongside the first language †¦ [and] is typically acquired in a social environment in which it is actually spoken† (Cook, 2011, p. 140). The aforementioned distinction, therefore, is grounded on two dimensions: social and location. The social dimension deals with meeting the communicative need of the learner whereas the location dimension has something to do with the usage of the language in the native locale of the learner (Cook, 2011). Richards and Rodgers (2001) emphasized that current issues in language teaching has been around for centuries and has remained unchanged. Throughout the centuries, the study of foreign languages has shifted importance from one language to the next. In a world where six out of ten individuals sp eak a language which is different from their mother tongue, speaking two or more languages has become the norm rather than an exception. Five hundred years ago, Latin was the prominent language used for education, commerce, religion, and government, particularly in the Western World. During the 16th century, other languages rose to prominence such as French, Italian, and English. These languages eventually supplanted Latin as the language of choice for verbal and written communication (Richards and Rodgers, 2001). Though Latin was relegated as a subject of study in schools, it has become a model for instruction for foreign languages. Instruction was composed of grammar rules, declensions and conjugations, translation, and writing sample sentences. In addition, parallel bilingual texts and dialogues are utilized in teaching. For modern languages, the mode of instruction remained the same in most aspects. Students are provided textbooks on abstract grammar rules, vocabulary lists, and sentences for translation. However, this approach was grounded on the grammatical system of the language, limiting its ability to facilitate genuine communication. This traditional approach to foreign language instruction was referred to as the grammar-translation method (Richards and Rodgers, 2001). In the United States, the grammar-translation method was known as the Prussian method, due to its German scholarly origins. This method has seven characteristics: (1) the goal of foreign language study is grounded on mental discipline and intellectual development; (2) reading and writing is prioritized over speaking or listening; (3) vocabulary instruction is confined to reading bilingual word lists, dictionary study, and memorization; (4) the sentence is the basic unit of teaching and practice; (5) accuracy is prioritized; (6) grammar instruction is deductive in nature; and (7) the speakers native language is utilized as the medium of instruction (Richards and Rodgers, 2001). The gram mar-translation method was widely used for European and foreign language instruction until the 1940s. However, it has been subject to much criticism, mainly on the grounds that its approach to teaching foreign languages mostly involved pointless memorization of vague grammar rules and vocabulary, and translation of stilted or literary prose, much to the frustration of countless students. Mounting opposition to this approach led to the development of new methods of

A family affair Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 500 words

A family affair - Essay Example Such families need intervention by the social services to protect the child (as cited in Kroll, 2006, p.84). As Broad discussed social institutions do not allow children to stay with their substance misusing parents. Kinship care, offered primarily by family members, is an option that allows the children to remain in the family atmosphere. Family members especially the grand parents can play a special role in such circumstances (as cited in Kroll, 2006, p.86). On the other hand, various studies about the kinship carers in US have revealed their own social and financial problems. Kinship carers can be poor and illiterate. Kinship care, a blessing or a curse, is a matter of discussion according to Cuddeback (as cited in Kroll, 2006, p.86). Also, because of the prebirth maternal drug abuse, children may have to face serious health and behavioral problems. However compared to non-kin care, kinship care is a more stable option as concluded by Beeman & Boisen (as cited in Kroll, 2006, p.86). Barnard noted that support by family members protects kids from the consequences of the irresponsible and violent behavior of their parents. Moreover the parents who want to get rid of the drug problems can achieve this while their children are being taken of by the family members. On the other side, the presence of care takers frees the parents from their responsibility and they do not try to change their habits (as cited in Kroll, 2006, p.87). Substance misuse can pass from parents to their children. It is a very serious matter of concern. Kids who face such problems at home in their childhood often fall prey to such a practice very easily in their adulthood. Inheritance is not the only reason for substance misuse, other factors such as social circle, economic or emotional troubles can also lead to the same. Parental conduct can be a reason of shame for the children in the society and can have adverse effects on their mental state making them vulnerable to other social

The Odyssey, by Homer Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 500 words

The Odyssey, by Homer - Essay Example This is certainly something Telemachus would do later on in the story when he would help Odysseus not only defeat the suitors but also show himself to be a good son. The irony in the passage comes across quite clearly when we realize that Achilles was indeed the mightiest of warriors and essentially had god like qualities of strength and bravery. However, in death he is little more than a weak spirit who is helpless to assist his father or even to know how his son is doing. The finality of death and of losing your abilities which you had once is an allusion to how mortality is perhaps is the ultimate answer to hubris as all living humans, regardless of their strength, abilities or heroics, must die. The external connections of this passage are varied and many since they not only describe the parentage of Achilles, they also discuss his progeny. Achilles is noted by Odysseus to have been quite a hero who was revered as much as the gods themselves. The passage also reminds us that Odysseus has not yet reached home which is the seemingly never-ending quest he is engaged in. Rugged Ithaca eludes him as much as the news about the son of Achilles eludes Achilles. Thus the passage certainly refers to earlier parts of the same tale while pushing the idea that Achilles is an important character in some other story. That story of course is the Iliad which is a part of the greater tale of the Battle of Troy itself. It also shows the great respect that Odysseus had for Achilles since even after his death Odysseus considers Achilles to be a prince amongst the dead. The most moving element of the entire passage is that even though Achilles is dead, he does not want to be so since he has lost all that he had and the realm of the dead has nothing to offer him. Moreover, his lack of information about his lordly son and even his dear father certainly troubles him since he does not know if his father has managed to keep a hold of the empire he had or if he has lost it

Competition Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 250 words

Competition - Essay Example Competition can serve as a driving force that motivates children to work harder. In a school setting, competition can be a driving force towards better performance. When children recognize that they have rivals at a similar level, they face the compulsion of moving beyond their comfort zone. If there were no rivals, children would remain in their comfort zone without any additional efforts. For this reason, teachers should promote healthy competition within the school setting. In sports, competition can help children improve their talent and become more successful. When children are aware that there is always a winner in sports, they are more likely to nurture their talent. In addition, competition in sports makes children more excited a factor that makes them look forward to participating. Many children who have won in sports recognize the value of hard work and are willing to exert more efforts in other sectors of their lives. In different games, children require competition so that they may find the find the games exciting. Competition in games introduces children to the realities of life, which is defined by different levels of competition. Games that do not encourage competition are less thrilling for children. Many children prefer games that have a winner so that they can have more fun. Introducing children to competition helps them learn how to address losing, which is a common aspect of life. For this reason, healthy competition should be promoted in different aspects of children’s

The Protective measure of this problem is to remove NetBIOS from any network card to reduce the possibility of abusing SMB. In addition, the following steps can help mitigate this weakness: â€Å"Enable (and require) NTLMv2 authentication -- this will prevent pre-computed attacks, because the client provides part of the randomness.

Leaders As Architects Assignment Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 500 words

Leaders As Architects - Assignment Example The frames thus need designing. They need to be designed with a leadership eye toward preferred ends, the nature of organizational culture, the talents of the available workforce, and the available resources within the leader’s reach. The leaders then using appropriate management skills provide a durable sense of direction or purpose, rooted deeply in organizational values and the human spirit that builds the culture. Wright created an architectural framework that stood the test of time through clear planning. This is more similar to the works of modern day leaders who are charged with architecturally crafting their organizations (Bennis, 2003). Just like Wright leaders should ensure that by effective planning. Leaders direct their organizations into making sustainable culture that stand the test of time. These cultures should last to provide for profitable glory years after they have gone. Wright also believed in designing structures through the philosophy of organic architecture. These were structures that were in harmony with humanity and even environment. In contemporary world organizations, they exist because efficient leaders build them. They are needs to conduct this role through thorough involvement of all stakeholders in planning strategies. Furthermore, leadership development today includes a useful metacurriculum on framing and cognitive elasticity as Wright believed in his work (McCar ter, 2006). Top leaders thus charged with modeling multi-frame organizational strategizing and the benefits of cross-frame cultural discourse. As a result, organizations enhance their capacities in totality for multi-framed analysis or action while building new levels of organizational learning and awareness.

Major American Political Ideology Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 500 words

Major American Political Ideology - Essay Example This paper would explore these two ideologies. Fundamentally, conservatism and liberalism differ in issues of freedom and responsibility. American conservatism is derived from the idea that all human beings share an equal nature, an ability to make decisions based upon a common-sense morality while liberalism, at its core, denies that such a common-sense morality exists and, even is such a morality were to exist, doubts the average person’s ability to understand it. (Janiskee and Masugi p. 30) This difference in ideology is demonstrated in the following analogy: Conservatives in America maintains the position that conserves the tradition of the American founding and the purposes and objectives of the Founding Fathers for the establishment of the country. American liberal takes the opposite direction by asserting that such traditions are restrictive and, therefore, the nation need to be liberated from them. Presently, the two parties that fight each other every four years in the American presidential elections are the Republicans and Democrats. The former is seen to be identified with conservatism while the form with liberalism. The two parties derive their ideologies to two fundamentally different views of human nature that is why each ideology calls for different kinds of government response to different issues. For instance, conservatives are more inclined to be against gun control but favor the death penalty while liberals want the reverse: gun control and no death penalty. An interesting aspect in the dynamics of American conservatism and liberalism is that they could assume an entirely different attitude towards certain issue compared to conservatives and liberals in Europe. A demonstration of this is how the conservatives and liberals in America want to address the question on how far should the free market be left alone: how far

HRM practice in small-medium enterprises (SMEs) Essay Example for Free

HRM practice in small-medium enterprises (SMEs) Essay Introduction The article analyzes the way of HRM practice in small-medium enterprises(SMEs) and the reason why it is important element for SMEs. Over the past years, small-medium enterprises play an increasingly significant role in European economy. It is mainly because European countries including UK have large amount of SMEs but with small scale of big enterprises. However, HRM, as an important part of a company, is utilized in tremendous different ways between large and SMEs firms. SMEs are reluctant to use HRM when considering high cost and time. This situation brings a lot of issues. Unfortunately, very few of the research for HRM in SMEs have been published till now(Domingo Ribeiro Soriano,et all,2011) .For example, according to the US academic journals from 1988 to 1998, more than 207 papers had been written about HR recruiting ,etc. However, just 7 of the articles mentioned about SMEs in Journal of Applied Psychology, Academic of Management Review and Personnel Psychology;. For these reasons,it is important to investigate the study of HRM in SMEs. Negative and positive arguments about HRM practice in SMEs Large amount of Debates about the efficiency of HRM in SMEs are illustrated in the earlier studies. Small business see few advantages of HRM when comparing to the large firms(Akroyd1995,adapted by Cassell.C et all,2002 ).Especially in the training ,Storey and Westhead described that the employees in the SMEs have few chances to get involved in structured training. (1997,adapted by Cassell.C et all, 2002) .After conducting several cases, Holiday also mentioned that training is not utilized well in SMEs(1995,adapted by Cassell.C et all, 2002). Cassell.C, et all(2002)did both interviews and telephone survey to a number of SMEs, and conclude that HRM practices especially selection and training process are transferring to other department in informal ways. They also found that 53% of SMEs that they investigated in recruited their employees via relatives or friend’s recommendation. It means HRM is not very formal in SMEs. In another word, HRM in SMEs are full of different issues. Bu t according to the following  study HRM indeed bring some benefit to companies. In1995 Leicestershire, and Storey (adapted by Cassell.C et all, 2002)did a study which comparing the difference between traditional HRM and new practices among the large and small companies. The result of 15 cases implied that although the initiative of every employee in large companies has more opportunities to be enabled, it is more sustainable process in small-medium firms. In my opinion, SMEs might be developing better when they employ formal HRM practices. For example, during the study of HRM of SMEs,Williamson, Cable, Aldrich, (2002,adapted by Patel, C. P, et all, 2010) found that that SMEs can be more competitive and legitimated with formal HRM activities since it helps firms attract more high quality employees. HRM can also create harmonious group culture, highlighting the relationship between employers and companies. (Cameron Quinn, 1999,adapted by PATEL, C.2010). Data analyze In order to explore whether it is beneficial for companies when they use formal HRM practices, I conclude the research which was done by PATEL, C. P et all(2010).They did a research to discover the relationship between HRM and company productivity. In this study, high group culture means that a strong team works and effective working environment, which is usually created by strong HRM.) That it surveyed 145 firms and 6 industries including different size of firms. The correlation can be described by the following charts.Chart1 suggests: under high group culture, companies increase the use of HRM when market competition increase; Product market competition (chart 1,adapted by PATEL,C.P,andS. CARDON,S.M ) HRM intensity (chart 2, adapted by PATEL, C. P,and S. CARDON,S.M ) Under high group culture, Chart2 indicated that HRM intensity can enhance the labor productivity To sum up, when the market is in the growing competition, HRM can boost the labor productivity. It also implied that the firms should keep the high group culture environment in order to keep the effectiveness of HRM. High group culture is from strong HRM practices. In my opinion from the data analyze, when HRM is utilized in SMEs in formal ways ,it might bring significant benefit to company. As Walsh and  Whites (1981) point out same idea as well. They suggest that same regulation of HRM should be utilized among those companies but small scale in SMEs. Author opinion As far as my consideration, HRM is a very important part for SMEs. The reason can be explained by following aspects. Firstly, Many SMEs firms in UK have informal HRM activities rather than totally absence (Culley et all, 1998, adapted by Cassell.C, et all, 2002).However, the way SMEs conduct these kind of practice reduce its’ actual benefit. For example, if recruiting and training procedure are not completed by the HR, other department need to expense time and cost to implement those processes. Consequently, it divides the cost of HR department into other team. In fact, it increases the cost of companies in long term prospective. Therefore, SMEs may increase benefit if they employ formal HRM practices from long prospective. Secondly,According to the charts (12), HRM has vital influence on labor productivity when fierce competition appears. On one hand, HRM is important element when company goes through high level of competitive market. SMEs must employ HRM if they want to survive in long term .On the other hand, strong group culture which is built by HR department can reinforce HRM to effect labor productivity (PATEL, C. P,and S. CARDON,S.M,2010).As a consequence , HRM should be develop in correct way so that the company can built adequate group culture, thereby enhance the labor productivity especially in competitive market. Thirdly, it is important to look at the economy situation in UK. UK holds a large amount of SMEs with small scale of large company. It suggests that economic contribution of SMEs play important role in the country. From general perspective, when well-establishing and formal HRM is employed by SMEs, it will have big effect on the GDP of UK. As Cassell.C, Nadin.S, Gray.M, Clegg.C concluded in their research in 2002, HRM indeed exist in small business and small multiples. Although the structure of both firms is informal, human resource management brought obvious effective effort to the firm. From this study, we can imply that SMEs will grow stronger if they utilize more formal HRM in long term. Consequently, high level of HRM practice improves the effectiveness of companies. Conclusion My study suggest that HRM practices play very important roles in SMEs not only because it can create group culture and enhance the effectiveness of the group development, but also can protect firms from fierce competition. Moreover, HRM can increase the benefit of companies in long terms. But there is also some problem of HRM practices. Due to a lack of experience and information, majority of SMEs have no energy to take formal HRM. Whether this situation can be solved still need further study in UK. It depends on the companies themselves. Although I argued that SMEs should emphasize HRM practices in long term development, a lot of SMEs pursue short-time benefit and they may not consider HRM benefit. The research about how do the companies increase the use of formal HRM but not reduce the short-term benefit is needed to be discovering in the future. Hence, the different situations decide whether small-medium companies employ formal HRM.

Working Mothers And Womens Equality At Work Social Work Essay

Working Mothers And Womens Equality At Work Social Work Essay Due to changing trends in the world, many women continue to enter the workforce day and night performing almost similar duties like men. Motivated by a number of factors ranging from social to economic environment surrounding the move has always sparked debates not only among men but also in women who argue against the idea. The debate revolves around working versus those women who stay at home and take care of their families especially children. These concerns explore existence of any effects of working mothers to their children in terms of academic performance in schools and their emotional development which significantly depends on what happens at childhood. Another concern is the possibility of high stress levels faced by working mothers on a daily basis compared to their counterparts at home. This research analysis utilized findings from experts and surveys aimed at unraveling the truth about working mothers. Introduction Who are working mothers? This is a label name which refers to women who have career jobs and responsibilities apart from taking care of their children and husband at home. The number of this type of women has continued to increase not only in the neither United States, nor Europe but all over the world. Even as immense criticism continues to surround the idea of working women, it is of paramount need to focus on some of the factors which contribute to this phenomenon. It is clear that the world is always at a constant change process in terms of social believes, practices and also economic transformation. Many women have opted to join the work a way of enhancing equality with men who believe that women are supposed to be stationed at home and carry out domestic duties (Randall, 2003). The question that ponders the mind of many is whether the notion of working mothers is the only focal point in addressing the issue of gender equality in the society. Is there a better approach? Definite ly there are considerable realistic and workable ways of establishing a society that recognizes men and women as equal beings. Although viewed negatively by some people, many women believe that by joining the work force, there would be significant ease and improvement in meeting the family needs. Sharing of family responsibilities between men and women is by far a very important idea. With increasing global economic hitches, there is every need for every family in the world to establish ways of making ends meet without extreme straining. As a result, working mothers believe that this is the only way of lessening family crisis which may arise from unsatisfied needs and unmet expenses which can be shared between a husband and wife. This sounds human and acceptable but it has lacked taste in a number of men in the world and other women who still advocate for stay home mothers in the 21st century. It is clear that the question of whether women need to be incorporated in the workforce like men still causes controversy. With growing working opportunities for both men and women, it is very normal for girls to go to school, join colleges and universities and secure jobs just like their male counterparts. This is quite commendable. However, the basis of this argument rests on the opportunity cost incurred when women join the workforce. It is believed that working women make inefficient mothers. Although this varies from one person to the other, sociologists argue that there is usually little or no time left for children brought up by working mothers. Additionally, working women experience a lot of stress compared to non working mothers who spent their entire time with their families (Harper Richards, 1986). This is attributed to overwhelming demands which may arise from work stations and homes. Balancing of time between the two masters, job and family remains a mega challenge amon g working women in the world. Statement of problem According to this research, very little has been done with regard to the effect of working mothers on their childrens emotional development and academic behavior. As a result, the research explores the general impact of working mothers on their children compared to non working women. Research questions What is the negative impact of a working mother on a childs academics and emotions? What is the positive impact of a working mother on the life of her child? What is the impact of non working mothers on their childrens life? Literature review Working mothers has received massive coverage from both individuals and groups of people aimed at unraveling the truth which surround this debate topic. However, many people reckon that the idea is quite open with a wide range of views which may vary from person to person. One of search people who have invested time in sociological research is Elizabeth Perle McKenna. In her 1998 research, McKenna analyses the relationship between work and family as experienced by working women around the globe. She exhaustibly dwells on the issue of work and identity and the dissatisfaction which arises when work does not give intended satisfaction. She argues that many women find themselves ignoring pivotal areas of their lives by devoting their time and concentration to work (McKenna, 1998). This devotion is usually aimed at attaining certain traditional symbols of success like money, challenging jobs and power. As viewed by McKenna, women entered the workforce massively under terms that were designed by men. They were eager and full of passion of leaving the old fashion of staying at home. They did this like immigrants abandoning their natural habitat and adapting to the workforce designed for and by men to suit their lifestyle and nature. Unfortunately, most if not all working systems have been designed to define men based on what they do and not who they are (McKenna, 1998). This system calls for long working hours in order to gain recognition and reward. This is still the case today even though almost sixty percent of women in the United States belong to the working class. In other words, the workforce does not recognize the nature of women with regard to the diverse responsibilities they have at home. It assumes the fact that women belong at home. McKenna writes this book from a personal experience and recalls moments in her life when she found it hard to balance work with growing famil y needs until she had to quit her job after having changed career severally. McKenna admits that women who are unable to quit working find it hard to balance between work and family responsibilities. She poses that although many women want attain success as traditionally defined, it is almost impossible excel career-wise and thrill as a good mother, caregiver and a good wife. She notes that the pursuit of such identity breeds nothing but depression, stress and finally burnout. Research findings This research found out that working mothers have a wide range of impact on their families with special emphasis on their children. Non working mothers have all the time to take care of their families and provide necessary care and love to their young ones. Children born of working mothers experience difficulties during their early stages of development. As young beings, children need enough time from their caregivers who are non other their mothers. In the absence of this care emotional impact is felt which may affect up to the academic capabilities of such children. Working mothers also experience emanating from challenges of time balancing (Peters 1968). On the other hand, working men feel independent and provide families needs including among others, childrens quality food. Both working and non working children may significantly influence the development process of children. Discussion The number of working mothers has continued to rise from about 30% in 1970s to approximately 50% in early 21st century. This has significantly affected the life of many children. (American Academy of Pediatrics, 1999). Children from families with working mothers have emotional depressions with measurable difficulties in their academic life. There is also continuing research on the effect of mothers working stress on children. Even as this research continues, the fact is that a child is always hyper sensitive to the emotional status of the mother before and even after birth. Do children born of working mothers receive sufficient attention and care? When mothers spend almost full of their day time at work, many children less effective especially at school. Since most working mothers maximize their working time when children are in their pre-school, these children show wanting and unappealing results (Cavel, 2001). These children feel some form of emptiness which ends up affecting their class concentration and general performance compared to children whose mothers are not working. It is also important to affirm that a childs early stages are very important in shaping his character and personality. Children who spend less time with their mothers as a result of work commitments are likely to experience hardships in language development which goes further to affect a childs academic progress. This is because learning in class mainly depends on communication propagated by language proficiency (Associated Press, 1999). Working mothers also experience a lot of stress which arise from the inability to balance between work and family needs. These two responsibilities appear to be like two jobs which are being handled by one person at the same time. As a result, these mothers are ever in a hurry to catch up with time and attend to unfinished duties at home and at work place. These mothers end up meeting the needs of the family with very few men willing to share the responsibility (Gershaw, 1988). In the event that a child falls sick, mothers find it difficult to fully attend to the child at the expense of her sleeping job. They also feel stressed over their own lives. Many working women are not willing to give birth. In other words, working continues to rob women off their mothering ability. Although working mothers have significant negative impact on their children, these mothers also have all the reasons to smile and the need for them to receive recognition. There are positive impacts generated by these mothers with the baseline of it being provision of basic needs, especially food. Many children brought up by working mothers live in considerably good standards compared to those of non working mothers. Working mothers usually have a wide domain of choices in terms of dietary. This ensures good childcare and healthy upbringing (Booth, 2000). A working mother is also a challenge to her children (Figes, 2001). As the immediate role model, mothers play a mega role in shaping the character of her children. Children admire good character and adorable achievements realized by those people who surround them. Therefore working mothers challenge their children to work hard and experience better achievements compared to what may she has. Conclusion In general, working mothers negatively impact their children. This is mainly witnessed in areas of emotional development and academic performance. This is mainly due to the inability to balance between family responsibilities and demands of the job. Stress is also common among working mothers a trend that is significantly low among non working mothers. It should be noted that working is highly encouraged among family members. However, mothers should devote most of their time to taking care of their children. They can take up less demanding jobs especially at tender ages of their children.

Sports Day - Personal Narrative Essay -- Papers

Sports Day - Personal Narrative That afternoon was no different, it would seem, to any other. The lessons were dull and lifeless with the same dry teacher droning on about the same old rubbish. However, as we sat listening to the monotonous speech a small, sweet glimmer of hope lay wide awake behind our hot, tired faà §ade. Sports day was coming. Our restlessness would soon be relieved. The small group of teachers who knew how to push passion into their lessons could sense the excitement. They were using the events to get out of teaching for the afternoon and they lazily let the class enjoy the TV. We watched ‘Chicken Run’ although I could barely concentrate. How could I? We were in year 6 at the top of the schools hierarchy and were ready to proudly show off the results of our long, hard training in the schools annual sports day. Josh was just as excited as me, we were both contending in the same race, and we were both very competitive. We both raced off as soon as the bell rang out it’s echoing toll. I was f...

Troys Battle with Anger in August Wilsons Fences Essays -- August Wi

Troy's Battle with Anger in August Wilson's Fences Conflicts and tensions between family members and friends are key elements in August Wilson's play, Fences. The main character, Troy Maxon, has struggled his whole life to be a responsible person and fulfill his duties in any role that he is meant to play. In turn, however, he has created conflict through his forbidding manner. The author illustrates how the effects of Troy's stern upbringing cause him to pass along a legacy of bitterness and anger which creates tension and conflict in his relationships with his family. Troy?s relationship with his father was one, which produced much tension, and had a strong influence on Troy?s relationships with his loved ones as an adult. He had very little respect for his father because his father did not, in Troy?s mind, make his family a priority. At an early age, Troy?s father beat him ?like there was no tomorrow? because he caught Troy getting ?cozy? with a girl (549; I,4). Troy said that ?right there is where [he became] a man? (549; I,4). It was at that moment that Troy made the decision to free himself from his father?s power. Despite the fact that he did eventually escape his father?s wrath, the struggle with his father?s aggressive behavior and lack of love resulted in a coldness that resided in Troy?s heart toward life and love. His father did not care about his children; children were there to work for the food that he ate first. Troy describes his feelings toward his father by saying, ?Sometimes I wish I hadn?t known my daddy. He ain?t cared not hing about no kids. A kid to him wasn?t nothing. All he wanted was for you to learn how to walk so he could start you to working? (548; I,4). Although Troy had very little respect for his father and vowed to be nothing like him, many of his father?s harsh personality traits show up in his own personality. Despite Troy?s continuous attempts to push himself away from anything he had ever known about his father, the inheritance of such irrational behavior was inevitable because it was all he had ever known. The inheritance of this angry behavior was, in turn, the cause of his damaging relationships with his own family. Just as Troy endured his father?s cruel ways, Troy?s family is left with no choice but to try to learn to live with his similar ways. Troy?s family is one that strives to maintai... ...y as a responsible person. He overlooks Cory?s efforts to please him and make a career for his son, learned from his past with his own father, is responsible for the tension that builds between him and Cory. This tension will eventually be the cause of the lost relationship that is identical to the lost relationship that is identical to the lost relationship between Troy and his father. Troy?s damaging relationship with his father had a dual effect in his life. It created a conscious awareness of how not to conduct his life and built fences, which inevitably recreated his father in his personality. These fences shaped and formed his relationships with his son. Due to his conscious efforts to not become what he did hold that were his father?s. The narrowness of his thoughts and ideas about life made him an almost impossible person with whom to have a relationship. These flaws permanently changed the lives of the people around him and built barriers which were too solid to ever be broken. Works Cited Wilson, August. Fences.

The Diagnosis and Treatment of Bipolar Disorder Versus Unipolar Depress

The Diagnosis and Treatment of Bipolar Disorder Versus Unipolar Depression Bipolar disorder is a serious mental disorder, but unfortunately our collective knowledge of this mental illness is not extensive. Unlike depression, where patients are strictly sullen and deeply blue, the bipolar patient experiences that same depression only flanked by extreme highs—a hyperactivity and increase in serotonin. It is this inconsistency in mood—a clinical mood swinging, that makes bipolar disorder so difficult to diagnose. Difficulty, as will be discussed in the paper, comes from patients inability to recognize these highs as potentially troublesome, and instead opt to focus only on the depressed moods that follow. Conventional thought, after all, is not to worry or see a doctor should one suddenly have increased energy and enthusiasm. The result is a overwhelming understanding of other illnesses, but significantly less of bipolar, especially of these highs, or hypomanic episodes patients feel. This paper will first discuss bipolar disorder, its symptoms a nd prognosis. The errors in diagnosing bipolar disorder and how this leads to confusion surrounding treatments will also be discussed. An investigation in to the diagnosis and treatment of bipolar disorder will reveal a strong inconsistency in treatment stemming from lack of conclusive knowledge about the disorder. While many doctors suggest antidepressant use, while others will utilize lithium, and mood stabilizers, and in fact this range of treatments is in fact responsible for the lack of holistic understanding of the disorder as a chemo-physiological disease, but also as a separate entity from traditional, or what is often referred to as unipolar depression.

Initial response to Malcolm X and Black Rage Essay

In the essay, Cornel West tries to explain how Malcolm X’s â€Å"Black Rage† articulation wasn’t directed at white americans only, but also to black americans who view their lives and minds through what West describes as â€Å"White lenses†. West also claims that Malcolm X’s idea of â€Å"psychic conversation† would promote blacks to turn that rage to love and appreciation of their own culture and self worth. Another claim West mentions is that the idea of psychic conversation struck fear into black professionals, due to their constant surrounding of white social circles, but at the same time understand the idea precisely for the exact same reason. West compares these kind of individuals to Du Bois’s idea of â€Å"double consciousness†. Blacks living between their own live and whites, never settle in either, yet crave acceptance mainly from whites. ! West also believed that Malcolm X viewed black equality as a farfetched possibility due to the majority of white racists, and black victims of democracy. What interests me the most is that Malcolm X feared cultural hybridity even though he, himself, comes from a hybrid culture. But eventually Malcolm X began to slowly remove that fear after looking into the acceptance of humanity regardless of race, class, or gender in the Islamic regimes of Muslims in the Middle East. In the end of the essay, West thinks that future generations should take Malcolm X’s â€Å"black rage† and â€Å"psychic conversation† as an example of rejection to any sorts of inequality. I strongly agree with West’s idea to follow such examples in order to achieve change in human equality and acceptance.

Some examples of crops that argon associated with commercial cultivatable farming be tobacco in Cuba, sugar understructuree in Barbados and Cotton in India. Guyana, a Caribbean territory located amid Venezuela and Suriname in South the States practices productive farming on a large scale. Their crop/product for export is timber, only when because woodss be the most abundant resourcefulness in Guyana. They cover about 80% of the bucolic.These lumbers range from dry evergreen and seasonal worker woodwind instruments to evergreen rainforests. These trees (which the lumber comes from) grow in the forests argonas which atomic number 18 located brinyly to the northwestern United States of the territory where Guyana receives majority of its pelting due to the ITCZ a nd other weather conditions.

In every industry in that location are challenges that are faced. Examples of challenges faced by the forestry industry in Guyana are * Technology- lumbering companies are not technologically advanced so they use old technology. In order to address this more advanced tools and equipments should be introduced to improve efficiency. Manpower- the industry has a shortage of skilled workers with great knowledge on the tasks and forestry. To improve this training can be done to improve and expand employees knowledge. * Sustainability- steps should be taken to save and conserve the forest resources. Unfortunately Guyana lacks the data needed for proper forest management.* everywhere exploitation-An increasing global demand, logging is taking place more frequent than trees can grow. Good management strategies and farming techniques are essential to ensure that the industry progresses. Diseases-Good forest management, regular spraying is needed to minimize diseases. The Guyanese governments are unable to bloodline and undertake such measures. Canadais a trade union American country consisting of 10 provinces and 3 territories. Located in the northern sever of the continent, it extends from the Atlantic to the Pacific and northward into the north-polar Ocean. It also practices arable farming. Canadas main crop for export is Wheat. In the wee 1900s the Prairie Provinces of Canada became a major chaff producing area and later one of the largest chaff exporters in the world.The Prairie Provinces are located among British Columbia and Ontario. Extending from the USA touch into the territories of Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatwan. This is because Canada has the right conditions for growing this crop. Some of these conditions are flat undulating land and the climate which is 500mm of rainfall annually which is sufficient for the ripening of the grain. Canada exports wheat to places such as USA, Europe, South America and the Caribbean. The Importance of the Wheat Industry in Canada* The country receives a great Income and revenue because of the large amount of wheat exported. Jo bs are created in this sector working in planting, harvesting, processing and shipping of the wheat. Some challenges faces in the wheat industry include 1. Pesticides 2. Herbicides these all harm the development of the wheat plant 3. Fungicides 4. fertilizers 5. Bad weather- hail storms, frost during presbyopic winters affect the wheat 6. Fluctuation in world prices- some years in the past there is over toil and excess wheat causes prices to fall. The opposite happens when there is a shortage in wheat. 7. Technology- bare-ass equipments to enhance work power.To address these challenges plants need to be sprayed to keep away bugs and pests. hold should be monitored carefully daily. New machinery should be used in convenience and sufficiently. As shown in the above data, Canada and Guyana are altogether distinguishable when talking about arable farming. They have different products but the corresponding concept. Meaning that they sell the raw significant and it is processed so mewhere else to make something different (Linkage Industry). Arable farming clearly brings in a large part in there economy and has a tumid part of the GDP. They share similar challenges bid technology.

In addition to these, poor th ermostats in these units genuinely(prenominal) much result in the wide variations in the indoor(a) temperatures causing severe irritations and washbowlnot see consistent protect takes. The equipment if had the flexibility in operation analogous pick to adjust its wattage level would result in high energy readiness and lower be of power.It would also be better if it causes very less(prenominal) inconvenience in its convo throw awayion and installment. Some of the equipments in the market had cumber just about process in its assembly which needed any hale support of the installation manual and personnel, which certainly need to be address in any of the new models. And ultimately the buyers need to observe the cost effectiveness of the product that keister turn out to be the best cute piece for the space- modify askment. (Mmclynne, 2008) Most of the house doesnt let ununlikeiated thermal environment in the house. The kids space have considerable lower level of temp erature causing severe discomfort levels.The installing the piddle alter radiator heater have found significant advantages oer the other persona of models available in the market. The major(ip)(ip) attraction on these units are the total absence on the noise and the awkward operational locomote that most of the earlier models had. The opinion from various users were enormous and all of them unanimously favored the water fill radiator heaters. The positive opinion being given for the Holmes wet Filled Radiator Heaters clearly establishes the merit of these type of models for their efficiency and effectiveness.Most of the operators were amazed on the total emptying of the noise for this type of models as they hardly accomplished whether the constitution was working. On the electricity bills too, all the users cognise significant reduction in their bills and the high temperature offered was uniform thus if a parameter like good deal heated per unit energy consumed the Holm es model out split most of the conventional ones as it ensured uniform heat crosswise the immaculate room space sooner than partial heating observed in the other types. Even the safety aspect the Holmes model has considered in fancy is enormous.Though the external surface is at a slightly higher temperature even the kids were not hurt when they tried to have a feel their surface when in operation. Most of the buyers have rated it as the most valued product for the money. Specification of the return The technical specification of the product is as follows (Holmes, n. d. ) electrical power low to high variability in operation 100 W to 1500 W Working potential drop 120 V AC (60 Hz) Effective mold of heat generated using better control of thermostats. collapse safety features with automatic cut off and strong carrying case.User friendly fan heater with introduction control from the top Measures approximately 2. 5 to 3 pounds. Product Design Philosophy The significant contrav ention in the product design statement run up in the water filled radiator based water heaters. The principle heat murder mechanism is by convection. The radiator type of heaters undertakes the heating of the board trough the convective parkway of the air for circulating the warm air for the inviolate intensiveness. Another major advantage in design of this type of system is that it is not required to spot on a high power level for heating the entire room space.These types of units consume very low levels of energy as they are able to cycle between the wattages in their effort to wangle the inner space at the design temperature levels. anyhow these, these units also help to eliminate the problems caused from the corrosion of the surface components and the problems caused from the highly combustible nature. As the water is the major liquid in the water heater radiator type room heaters, the problems of corrosion and possibility for combustion can be eliminated. The space heaters are un voidable gadgets in the cold regions across he world.To give a better thermal environment is necessary to make the indoor stay more comfortable. These heaters vary in size quite polarly from the being a puny portable heater to colossal breakwater or ceiling mounted heaters that are most fixed permanently. The small and portable ones are like in the residential units while the permanent ones are preferred in large industrial and commercialised centres, though the exceptions always exist. On the different type of fuels being used in them, it could be any electricity, natural gas, biomass or any liquid fuels like furnace oils.They are mostly applied or chosen in or so of the situations that necessitate to isolate the part of facility in a central heating system or heating a small unit space in an generally unwarmed area etc. The efficiency of the system is metrical based on the intended use of the system and the expectation of a customer from using it. The illo gically using a space heater would result in higher consumption of energy with very low levels of comfort to the residents. But when done in the most appropriate application these devices can ensure the desired comfort levels and lesser energy costs. semblance of different type of space heaters -Radiant and Convective The effulgent heaters shape on the similar principles of any heat-radiating body. The simplest example is the solarise where the sun rays emits large amount of radiation and tries to warms up any body, which receives the radiation. This type of equipments emits the radiation but in some specific direction and the bodies or objects move in the direction of the emitted source would receive them and helps in the heat gain. The radiating heaters can be operated both on electricity or on any other type of fuel like propene, kerosene or natural gas (MGE, n.d. ). The heating elements in the radiating type heaters are also of different types. The important ones being q uartz tubes, carbon tubes , halogen lamps or metal coils. In order to have a uniform spread of heat in different direction, rather than heating up in some specified direction, some of the glad type heaters use reflectors. Thus these type of heaters are ideal for heating the specific objects than large volumes of spaces and hence is recommended in large open spaces with less openings or hindrances.The bodies that need to be heated must be located in the direction of emission of heat rays . These bodies absorb the temperature when the rays get them and as the temperature of such bodies increases and they in turn transfer some of the heat to the neighbouring volume of air too. This helps in the complete rise in the temperature of air volume in its surrounding (MGE, n. d. ). It is also recommended to have some percentage of fresh air for mixing up with the inside air in order to avoid the build up of excessive accumulation of pollutants in the enclosed space.If the objective is to rec eive the heat only for a very short interval of conviction past the radiant heaters are the ideal choice. The radiant heaters dont heat up the entire space uniformly and just transfers heat to the occupant and the immediate neighborhood and hence ensure higher efficiency for these type of purpose. The convection heaters operate based on the ability of the hot air to move across the entire space that required to be heated. It depends on the natural movement of the rising hot air.The equipments brook the cold air to move into its compartment and warms it up and then releases into the desired space that need to be at a higher temperature (MGE, n. d. ). Thus it tries to warms up the air directly and the objects would gain heat from the air that is at a higher temperature. Thus they are the most ideal for the small enclosed spaces or rooms that are well insulated and cut off from the surrounding. They are available in different type of designs like the electric heater based radiator a nd water or oil filled heaters.The water filled radiant heaters are among the high efficient devices in the class of convective heaters. The heating element placed in the bathe of water is heated as the unit is glowering on it will result in heating the surrounding air. The heated air is allowed to move by the room based on the principles of natural convection. These heaters require fresh supply of air to maintain uniformity in its operation (MGE, n. d. )ReferencesAndi, (15 February 2008) , Holmes Water filled heater wars my heart Retrieved from http//www. propsandpans.com/2008/02/15/holmes-water-filled-heater-warms-my-heart/ on 16 terrific 2010 Holmes (n. d. ) , Owners guide, Retreived from http//www. holmesproducts. com /Manuals/MANUALS/HFH110-UM_43_77278402.

Biography of Xerxes

innate(p) in c. 519 BC, of the p bents poove Darius and his wife Atossa came Xerxes. He was raised(a) in the unstinted opulence of an easterly motor hotel and became the designated inheritor to his breeds tummy in which he was to form of all(prenominal) timeywhere the non bad(p)est imperium of his epoch for 21 eld. The Iranian imperium. He was non the sometime(a)est of Darius tidingss to a greater extent everywhere motionless became the inheritor all over his oldest pal Artabazanes. at that place were 2 principal(prenominal) rea countersigns for this, His engender Atossa was the fille of the salient Cyrus do Xerxes his grand intelligence.harmonize to Herodotus Atossa would con direct employ her mould to aspire her refreshings on the govern. Herodotus deem 7 section-3. Xerxes verbalise topping state to the hardlytocks for the analogous reasons. austere super indicant Demaratus who was exiled from S rivea and in the Iranian beg at the time, bring uped that they aim the wicked tailor-make to elect(ip) a pouf. That is that the son who is innate(p) bearing nigh sequence the poof sits on the thr cardinal volition be the replacement no matter how numerous sons at that place were forwards the force became mogul Herodotus obtain 7 section-3.This do Xerxes the rightful(prenominal) replacement how ever he describes his gate himself on limest sensationness origin shutdown at Persepolis My receive was Darius Darius take was Hystaspes by establish Hystaspes laminitis was Arsames by yell saith Xerxes the poove different sons of Darius on that point were, ( exclusively)- indeed unto Ahura-Mazda was the desire- Darius my fetch made me the owing(p) later himself. When my induce Darius went onward from the throne, by result of Ahura-Mazda I became engrafting-beater on my arrives throne. So to suspensor legitimatize his aver to the throne, Xerxes mathematical functions A hura-Mazda.In to the highest degree different inventory he run onings himself by look I am Xerxes, the great major power, exponent of business leader, great power of lands containing umpteen a nonher(prenominal) men, faggot in this great currentm get on nigh and wide, son of Darius the faggot, an Achaemid, a Iranian, son of a Iranian, an Aryan, of Aryan seed. usher in he emphasises that he an Achaemenid to summarize weight on his assert to the throne. fit to A. T. Olmstead, Xerxes gained administrative subsist by bread and scarceter in the princely Babylonian rook and cosmos fount to hold Babylon. though in that location is non lavish bear witness to support this. close to historians put that Darius and Xerxes sh atomic number 18d co-regency, simply at that place is not enough inference to support this either. The shew we do wee-wee on his lowcoat and earlier flavour earlier he became king is that his start out was a truster in the idol Ahura Mazda and accordinglyce a companion of Zoastrianism. We neck that Xerxes carried this on. As farthermost as we slam the only true rearing accord to Herodotus that Persian boys were taught was to Ride, to spend the bow, and to pronounce the faithfulness Herodotus go for 1 pg. 137.The most crucial and noteworthy things in Xerxes intent-time that contri just nowed to his admit was existence the grandson of the superlative king Persia had seen and his set out world that kings misfire conversance and fitting to use her do work. Xerxes became the king of the Persian empire in 485BC. In his 25 geezerhood of eclipse he achieved creationy things. He was sure not a trifling linguistic rule and her be this in the other(a) long time of his rein with the bustling suppress of the Babylonian and Egyptian revolts. take down as a crude king he re stage traits of a fortified and unrelenting monarch. He sent an the States against the Egy ptian rebels and decisively down in the mouth them. Herodotus oblige 7 section-7.The most historied picnic Xerxes was conducted as his take on to set upon Greece. This is seen to most kind of a little as a nonstarter as the Greeks frustrated him. though it butt end besides be looked upon as an acquirement because although he failed to breed the unsloped earth into his conglomerate he compose man matured to terminate capital of Greece, which was one of his of import priorities in the outgrowth place. I depart not correspondence until I put on taken capital of Greece and fire it to the ground, in strike back for the hurt in which the A pastians without exacerbation did to me and my contract Herodotus concord 7 section-8-b.So his destruction of Athens put up be looked upon as an achievement. Xerxes was by no elbow room a miser up to(p) multitude theatre director as he demonstrateings substantially centering and organisational skills in the room he amasses and upholds his army. He had knavish and blow-by-blow formulation when it came to invade and jibe to Cameron and Lawless, Xerxes broad his conglomerate into Thrace and Mace renderia as healthful as summateing dominion from conflicting eastern provinces page 99. His achievements dont in force(p) focalise on unpeaceful activities.His structure programs at Persepolis and some close to category show that his am silicon chipions did not expert lie in of fetching land. He purview expanding his empire was alpha but so to was congenital development. superpower Darius my father create and enjoin to be construct often near(a) formula. By the choose of Ahura mazda I added to that plait and build further ( expressions). Cameron and Lawless, pg 181. Xerxes began building closely tasteful afterwards he asc finish the throne, but the volume of his constructions were through with(p) in the plump third years of his eclipse. most of the buildings constitute of the Apadana, which was an earshot vestibule in the Persian munificent castle. It was started by Darius and spotless by Xerxes. serail was Xerxes castle that he strengthened for himself The of import construct was other(prenominal) construction tenacious by Xerxes rule mansion or other sweet know as The foyer of one C Columns, was gestated to bring in been started by Xerxes and undefiled by Artaxerxes castling H was some other un effected building believed to accommodate been stared by Xerxes and uncomplete inscriptions suggest that it may go for been washed-up by Artaxerxes.These are expert a a few(prenominal) examples of the achievements this man completed in his life. It is bring in that he was a knockout normal who had numerous ambitions in his life. The get laid life of Xerxes is a mixed subject to grow distinguish on. Herodotus mentions him having only one wife take a shitd Amestris and the culture on her is exceedingly l ittle. Her father was believably Otanes who was a Persian noble and one of the septette conspirators who facilitateed Darius render superpower. promote enquiry uncovers the narrative of Esther and ottoman Vashti. on that point is more schooling on the business relationship of Esther and business leader Vashti then thither is on Amestris. The baloney of Esther and Vashti is overly more presumable to be mythology then reliable hi stage, as a crapper of the info doesnt add up. Herodotus incomplete mentions Esther or Vashti in his histories and he is our of import denotation to this achievement in time. The storey of Esther is a take hold in the tidings and is where the Judaic solemnisation of Purim comes from. concord to the twaddle of Esther, King Xerxes was host with all his friend and he was swash well-nigh how he had the finest of everything. wherefore he called for his wife, big businessman Vashti, and told her to whirl more or less in front of his guests corroding zip fastener but her point because he believed she was the most pleasing charr and he cherished to show everyone. Vashti was greatly insulted and refused so she was deposed. A mantrap contention was held for Xerxes to consume a new wife and he chose a unsalted girl called Esther who he patently ferocious straight off in cheat with. Esthers real name was Hadassah but she changed it to traverse her Judaic identity. so with the military service of her influence on Xerxes and her full cousin Mordecai she was ale to assuage the Jewish the great unwashed from slaughter. This level his been questioned by umpteen scholars and historians and is believed to be mythical. though there isnt some(prenominal) mentioned on Amestris, from the main write up she takes part in we are able to mend together preferably a video of her. Amestris wove a fantastic shawl as a present for her hubby Xerxes. He gave it to his comrades miss Artaynte with whom he had had an interest with.When Amestris ascertained this subversiveness she was ferine and in a flash fiendish Artayntes mystify and had her viciously mutilated. Xerxes comrade then beside himself plan a ascension against Xerxes and Xerxes had him killed. From this legend we place already assemble that Amestris was a grabby and not so adequate cleaning lady who held quite a bit of power over Xerxes, As she wasnt punish for what she did. in that respect is another story of Amestris that leads us to believe she wasnt that good a woman. A habit of Persia was inhumation nation alive(p)Amestris in her old age did it to xiv Persian boys of august families, by air of a present which she hoped the matinee idol of the under world would just sort of of herself Herodotus harbor 7 section-114. In 465BC Xerxes was found off in his bedchambers. correspond to Cameron and Lawless, specialized inside information on the stopping point of Xerxes are unknown. It suggests tha t Artabanus, the commandant of the palace guards hit him with the help of Aspamitres, a courtyard eunuch pg. 100. consequently Xerxes ended his reign of the Persian Empire as a dupe of palace camarilla and was succeeded by his son Artaxerxes.

Relationships in Little Women and Cats in the Cradle

Relationships in lowly Women and Cats in the provenience Relationships enkindle be confirmatory or cast come in. wide-ranging perceptions imper discussionate a actuate the spirit of kinds as dogmatic or proscribe. The cause of absolute and nixly charged affinitys take up dogged-lasting consequences on individuals having both a arbitrary and minus facial expression in entirely(prenominal) kinship assists homoly concern moreover detrimental descents is the induce up of decisions and actions that wee damaging touchs. faithfulness is atomic number 53 of the total traits that argon read in a convinced(p) affinity.However, minor committedness depose intimation to debasement in a mortals prime(a) of sprightliness, rejoicing and tie with the pile obscure in that race. The kins in forgetful Women by Louisa whitethorn Alcott and Cats in the provenance by call forth Chapin shews legion(predicate) distinguishable views of constructive and ostracise affinitys. confirmatory(p) and ostracize alliances ar delimit by wide-ranging perceptions of the characters. Having both a substantiating and banish view in apiece(prenominal) feature assists military man to develop, learn, be dexterous and survive. corroboratory kinds argon diaphanous in small-minded Women by Louisa may Alcott as nearly as minus kins by dint ofout the marchland family this shows that they be non a faultless family and dismantle though weeny Women is set in the 1860s, families straight pip keister partake to the relationship shown amid the parade family, specially the relationship zillion, Jo, Amy and Beth pose with all(prenominal) an contourer(a)(prenominal). They fight, sack out, trade and serve whizzself apiece opposite and through cap quantify, they incessantly liberate from each oneness(prenominal) roughly a nonher(prenominal)wise. here is a quotation mark from elf corresponding(p) W omen by Louisa may Alcott, My dear, tiret permit the solarise go overpower upon your resentment grant each former(a), help each other, and stupefy once more to-morrow. Marmee to Jo, Chapter 8, rogue 76. This commendation shows endearment, My dear, demonstrates the absolute relationship that Mrs march has with Jo and the love that they per centum for each other. This name precisely implies that we should non permit our impatience or plague hump on still during our slumber.As oft as possible, we essential declaration our problems and reconcile. We should soma each other in swan sooner than land each other to settle bonds whether it may be in filial, romantic, or friendly relationships. constructive and controvert relationships be outlined by alter perceptions of the characters. Relationships flush toi permit be controvert at meters and if these nix relationships atomic number 18 non resolved, it abideful wallop all individuals twisting for a long tip of time.Negative relationships do not necessarily add up because of one brusque powerful error it is the take up of decisions and actions that advise concord a prohibit impact and compel a ostracise relationship surrounded by the interactions of both sight. An illustration of a detrimental relationship is evident in Cats in the giveplace by gravel Chapin amidst the forwards mystify and his password. hither is a recite from Cats in the rocking chair by chevvy Chapin, And as I hung up the remember it occurred to me, hed self-aggrandizing up mediocre handle me, my boy was well(p) worry me. This ingeminate shows irony.It is humourous that the word of honor be educes akin his experience, in a alter vogue than expect. It was expected that the son would penury to be equivalent the mother in a life story maven and this demonstrates the forbid relationship that the beget has with his son not in a ace that they dislike each o ther simply put off comprehend and talk of the town to each other pees a ban impacts end-to-end their relationship. irrefutable and shun relationships atomic number 18 be by vary perceptions of the characters. commitment is one of the implicit in(p) traits that argon salute in a decreed relationship.Without verity doubts of boldness and miss of reward capture to come to the fore and relationships lower to crumble. at heart the relationship of Mr and Mrs skirt, verity is the almost alpha divisor of the relationship. Here is a recite from microscopic Women by Louisa may Alcott, That is the cloistered of our abode triumph. He does not let channel wean him from the superficial c atomic number 18s and duties that happen upon us all, and I try on not to let internalated worries destroy my evoke in his pursuits. for each one do our part unsocial in some things, scarcely at scale we realize unneurotic, forever. Marmee to Meg, Chapter 38, foliate 392. This cite shows a back-story of Mr and Mrs walks life that they were not al agencys like this and had the same problems that Meg has commencement out wed life, especially with nestlingren. This adds means to their veritable mountain and if they did not specify a personal manner to take form in concert and be together as practically as possible, problems would thrust occurred tho because of the supra quote, Mr and Mrs solelyt show obedience to each other and micturate a plus relationships not further for themselves but in addition for others most them.Mrs. March suggests that the domestic demesne is a spliff motion economize and married woman practice together to create a home, kind of of either human face of it macrocosm the wifes responsibility. Positive and negative relationships are delineate by change perceptions of the characters. at bottom every relationship some form of homage ordain be enclose that contributes to the abso lute relationship. However, small-scale loyalty lavatory calculate to debasement in a souls graphic symbol of life, happiness and tie-in with the people manifold in that relationship. Cats in the rock n roll musician introduces the issue proposition indicating the difficult relationship divided up between puzzle and son, My child arrived hardly the other day, he came to the world in the mutual way. The quote is a simile for the birth of his son. It is an cold way to learn the birth of his son. This metaphor gives an initial recital of an listless relationship between the father and son. It is send away that although the father provides the necessities for the child, his locomote impelled life style restrains him from using up quality time with his son.Positive and negative relationships are outlined by varied perceptions of the characters. To aggregate up, varied perceptions square off the character of relationships as supportive or negative. call de picted object sentences. The relationships in footling Women by Louisa whitethorn Alcott and Cats in the place of birth by chevvy Chapin shows many another(prenominal) different views of corroborative and negative relationships. The statement, relationships can be commanding or negative, is dead on target but positive and negative relationships coexist.
