Self-Acceptance In Return To Hayneville By Gregory Orr
In "Return to Hayneville" by Gregory Orr is taking measure of self–acceptance and accepting the change that happens in a person's life. There several
topics discussed in the text that connect to the author's substance that make it stronger and easier to find what the author is taking measure of. The
topics that add to the substance of the text, are joy. Joy in having been given a full life. Anothertopic is acceptance of your past and not letting it, cut
the hope inside you. Lastly a willingness to live and change your life. In "Return to Hayneville" acceptance is one of the few topics that enhance the
author's substance. In the text Orr younger self is trying to accept who he is, he is trying to find his place in the world "I longed to be like them, to
transcend my confusions and the agonies of my past and be taken up into some noble simplicity beyond change" (2). In this quote, we, see young Orr
fight for acceptance; trying to accept who he is. As the story continues we can see Orr finally accepting who he is and his past. Not letting it haunt
him anymore "Only, Hayneville wasn't my end. It was a place where my life could have ended but didn't, and now, almost half a century later, I stand
beside that closed–down, dilapidated jail, laughing" (13). In the end, he let all the terrible things that had happened to him go. In these quotes we can
see Orr using Hampl's method of description, he is very descriptive when he describes the jail and it makes the sentences

Mental Illness And Self Identity
This issue is relevant because mental illness and self identity are starting to become a popular topic in our society. People are starting to realize that
even though it may be a difficult subject to speak and learn about, it is important and should be addressed in our society. This issue is important
because it helps people embrace who they are and learn about the issues instead of hating on themselves for being different and not knowing the real
facts about the issue. If we do not learn how to treat mental illness and accept ourselves, we will never move forward in society and learn how to help
others and ourselves with these topics. By learning more about these topics we can help our society grow, by discovering new ways to help people
with these problems. We could decrease major issues in our society like mass shootings, and teen suicide. With this topic we can make our society
more aware and inclusive of those with these issues.
Currently, mental health is a major topic in our society with mass shootings and major crises with our government because everyone says that the
shooters were not in a good mental state, which made them do these terrible things. Self identity is also a current issue among many young people who
do not know who they are and are still figuring it out. Teens who are not yet proud of their individualism blend into society and become a "brick in the
wall" instead of an individual who values their unique qualities and culture. Today, these ideas are

The Topic Of Free Will
The topic of free will is an interesting and thought–provoking debate. As a child, I always believed that I had freedom to make my own choices, but
now I am not so sure. To start, we must first define the term 'free will.' According to the Oxford English Dictionary, free will is "spontaneous or
unconstrained will" or the "inclination to act without suggestion from others" ("free will"). There are four major views on the topic of free will. One is
fatalism which is the view that all things are determined to happen but prior events do not influence these events. Another view,determinism, is the
belief that all choices are already established due to prior events. The compatibilist view is one where determinism and free will can coexist. And
the last is libertarianism, the belief that we have free will and nothing determines the choices that we make (Class Notes). Philosophers like Barron
Holbach (determinists) argue that there is no such thing as free will, while William James (libertarian) and G.E. Moore (compatibilist) beg to differ. I
agree with Moore and the compatibilist view. Baron Holbach held the view that we have no free will. He was a materialist and determinist meaning he
defended the view that "everything is subjected to laws of nature." The view that human beings are subjected to the laws of nature shows that there is
no freedom to make choices because we just follow what nature commands of us. He stated that "actions are a consequence of temperament, received

Reflection Paper On How I Changed As A Speaker
I have changed as a speaker in various ways over this past semester. I have gotten more comfortable with myself as a speaker. I learned instead of
being scared and nervous to talk in front of my classmates, to just put my self in a place where I feel comfortable. For example when I am speaking in
front of the class, I imagine myself standing in my living room just talking to my dad. Another thing that helped me get through my speech is choosing a
topic that I know a lot about, this helped my feel more comfortable about what I was talking about. This helps build credibility. I realized that
everyone is going to have a strong opinion about certain topics but if you can provide valid information and have good arguing point in a speech
then it could really change peoples minds about a certain topic. After I completed my first speech I really understood what it took to be a good speaker,
especially after getting feed back from my classmates. This helped improve confidence and all other aspects of me speaking in front of a crowd. I felt
as if the outlines helped me a lot. They gave me a basic idea of what I need to do and say. They also helped me organize my thoughts andhelp me stay
on track. The quizzes also helped me understand the topics and why we needed to set up the outline the way we do. It also helped me understand what
was most important in the speech and what I should focus most on. When you gave sample speeches this was my most helpful tool. You showed us

Are We The Most Sensitive Generation Of All Time?
Are we the most sensitive generation of all time? Many people in our society think that our generation is so hypersensitive about everything. We are
not hypersensitive to everything instead it is because we can obtain information so easily today that we as students fear that power. We learn about
all these different things that can potentially hurt or offend some people on the internet so we try to not use this power. Thus, this forms a group of
words that are regarded as taboo in society because they can trigger the emotions of others Thus, trigger warnings were created to help provide
students on campus a safe space to not be affected by society, but is that good for the students? Recently, an article called "The Coddling of the
American Mind" by Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt states, "Trigger warnings are alerts that professors are expected to issue if something in a
course might cause a strong emotional response" (Lukianoff 1). In their article, they counter the idea of trigger warning stating that avoiding or using
trigger warnings would not help students instead we should help them slowly adapt to these extreme situations and word choice because they will not
move on from that issue unless addressed. While another article, "The Trigger Warning Myth" by Aaron R. Hanlon redefines trigger warnings as
something that should be use in a college setting because professors uses trigger warnings to remind the students the graphic content of the course.

Shopping When we want to buy something, we usually go to a shop. There is no doubt that there are many kinds of shops in every town or city, but
most of them have a food supermarket, a department store, men's and women's clothing stores, grocery, bakery and butchery. As for my family, my
parents like to do shopping at big department stores and supermarkets. As a rule, they sell various goods under one roof and this is very convenient. A
department store, for example, true to its name, is composed of many departments: readymade clothes, fabrics, shoes, sports goods, toys, china and

In the knitwear department one can buy sweaters, cardigans, short–sleeved and long–sleeved pullovers, woollen jackets. In the perfumery they sell face
cream and powder, lipstick, lotions and shampoos. In a food supermarket we can also buy many different things at once: sausages, fish, sugar,
macaroni, flour, cereals, tea. At the butcher's there is a wide choice of meat and poultry. At the bakery you buy brown and white bread, rolls, biscuits.
Another shop we frequently go to is the greengrocery which is stocked by cabbage, potatoes, onions, cucumbers, carrots, beetroots, green peas and what
not. If I'm not mistaken, everything is sold here ready–weighed and packed. If you call round at a dairy you can buy milk, cream, cheese, butter and
many other products. To tell the truth the methods of shopping may vary. It may be a self–service shop where the customer goes from counter to
counter selecting and putting into a basket what he wishes to buy. Then he takes the basket to the check–out counter, where the prices of the purchases
are added up. If it is not a self–service shop, and most small shops are not, the shop–assistant helps the customer in finding what he wants. You pay
money to the cashier and he gives you back the change. Questions: 1. What do we do when we want to buy something? 2. What kinds of shops are

Debate Topics
Hypnotherapy is therapy that is undertaken with a subject in hypnosis.[citation needed]
The word "hypnosis" (from the Greek hypnos, "sleep") is an abbreviation of James Braid 's (1841) term "neuro–hypnotism", meaning "sleep of the
nervous system".
A person who is hypnotized displays certain unusual characteristics and propensities, compared with a non–hypnotized subject, most notably
hyper–suggestibility, which some authorities have considered a sine qua non of hypnosis. For example, Clark L. Hull, probably the first major empirical
researcher in the field, wrote,
If a subject after submitting to the hypnotic procedure shows no genuine increase in susceptibility to any suggestions whatever, there seems no point in
calling him ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Whilst Braid differed in offering an explanation of hypnotitc effects that did not rely on supernatual forces, he credited the methods used in hypnosis to
the practice of Mesmerism. Braid said of the subject:
Hypnotism might therefore not inaptly be designated, Rational Mesmerism, in contra–distinction to the Transcendental Mesmerism of the
Mesmerists.[2]
In their original committee report on hypnotherapy, the British Medical Association (BMA), likewise, made a point of condemning the occult theories
of Mesmerism and sharply distinguishing them from hypnotism.
The Committee, having completed such investigation of hypnotism as time permitted, have to report that they have satisfied themselves of the
genuineness of the hypnotic state. No phenomena which have come under their observation, however, lend support to the theory of 'animal
magnetism'. ("Report on Hypnotism", British Medical Journal, 1892).
Whereas Mesmerism is a supernatural theory, hypnotism attempted to explain the same phenomena in terms of psychology and physiology. As Braid
puts it, it is a scientific and "psycho–physiological" (mind–body) discipline.
There is no doubt that some individuals have suffered the ill effects of being involved in stage hypnotic shows. Stage hypnotists use words like 'magic '
and 'control ' in an attempt to mystify the effects of hypnosis. In addition, using various tests of hypnotic

Advances in IT Topics
Advances in IT Topics
In recent years, Information Technology has had advances in big data storage and health information systems. Big data companies are developing
products for storage capacity and support services growth, with many leveraging local–file based storage with object–based cloud storage (Coughlin,
2012). And, initiatives in advances for personalized medicine include technologies that link informatics with genotype and phenotype data to produce
custom built solutions to illness (Welch, 2009). Improvements brought by big data include creating more transparency among stakeholders by making
big data more accessible (Manyika, 2011). Having access to and being able to manipulate data sets enables a different way of decision making to bring
more science into management. Companies can segment and analyze data in near real time. The analysis improves decision making, minimizes risks,
and uncover more insights to enable new innovation. According to (Manyika, 2011), there was questions as to how corporate marketing functions
would need to evolve and how business processes could change. There was the question of how companies would leverage assets, particularly data
assets, to create more value. There was also a question of how big data might interrupt business models. Cloud computing moves applications and
databases to warehouses and poses new security challenges, which have not been well understood and many research problems are not yet identified

Reading and Understanding College Textbooks emphasizes improvement of the reading process and study skills necessary for understanding and

successful completion of college courses. Students learn a variety of strategies to assist them in improving vocabulary, comprehension, test–taking
abilities, and flexibility in reading.
Challenges and Goals
We chose to implement MyReadingLab beginning in fall 2013 due to a number of challenges we had been facing. Previously, students had to take
division exams on an internal web portal in our tutoring and testing center. If students did not receive an 80 percent, they would have to work with a
tutor in the computer lab to improve their skills before taking the exam a second time. We experienced high volumes of paperwork and grading errors,
and students were not getting what they needed to succeed.
MyReadingLab offers students a flexible, convenient way to remediate wherever and whenever they choose. It provides instructors with all the
necessary content in one location and the ability to ensure consistency of topic mastery across sections. It has been a goal of ours to tweak our

spectively. We first introduce the notations of ourmodel and list them in Table II. Our input data,
i.e., users' check–in records, are modeled as observed random variables, shown as shaded circles in
Figure 1. As a POI has both semantic and geographical attributes, we introduce two latent random variables, topic z and region r, which are responsible
for generating them, respectively. Based on the two latent factors, TRM aims to model and infer users' ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Thus, each topic z in TRM is not only associated with a word distribution П•z, but also with a distribu– tion over time П€z. This design enables П•z
and П€z to be mutually influenced and enhanced during the topic discovery process, facilitating the clustering of the words of POIs with similar
temporal patterns into the same topic with high probability. To integrate the check–in time information to the topic discovery process, we employ the
widely adopted discretization method in [Gao et al. 2013;
Yuan et al. 2013] to split a day into hourly–based slots.
In the standard topic models [Blei et al. 2003; Wallach et al. 2009], a document (i.e., a bag of words) contains a mixture of topics, represented by a
topic distribution, and each word has a hidden topic label. While this is a reasonable assumption for long documents, for short document Wv, it is most
likely to be about a single topic. We therefore assign a single topic to the document Wv.
Similar idea of assigning a single topic to a twitter post has been used before [Zhao et al. 2011].
User Mobility Modeling. Different from users' online behaviors in the virtual world, users' check–in activities in the physical world are limited by
travel distance. So, it is also importan– t to capture users' spatial patterns (or activity ranges) according to the location distributions of their historical
checked–in POIs. The spatial clustering phenomenon indicates that users are most likely to check–in a number

The Topic Of Sexuality

Horrocks (1997) points out in his book that sexuality encircles multiple aspects of human existence. Sexuality is then, not a uniform or simple
phenomenon and is influenced by the interaction of psychological, biological, social, cultural factors and many more. Horrocks (1997), suggests that to
try and understand or explain a definitive conclusion about sexuality seems impossible as sexuality has different meanings to so many groups of people.

However this can commonly lead to confusion and lack of understanding of the terms. Diamond (2002), states that, "It can be said that one is a sex and
one does gender; that sex typically, but not always, represents what is between one's legs, whereas gender represents what is between one's
ears."p.232. The term 'sex' refers to the biological makeup of that person. 'Sex role' or 'sex typical' behaviour is then, usually the acting out of a
person's biological predisposition. Whereas the term gender is society's common perception of how females or males are expected to behave or act
and how they should be treated.
King (2009), points out that the nature of sexuality is dependent on how its accepted biological basis is interpreted at a particular time by a particular
society.
Recognition of a clear distinction between the two words is useful and valuable for the psychological understanding of identity, particularly with
relation to intersexuality and transsexuality (Diamond, 2002).

There are lists six such assumptions:
The basic building blocks of an organization are groups (teams). Therefore, the basic units of change are groups, not individuals.
An always relevant change goal is the reduction of inappropriate competition between parts of the organization and the development of a more
collaborative condition.
Decision making in a healthy organization is located where the information sources are, rather than in a particular role or level of hierarchy.
Organizations, subunits of organizations, and individuals continuously manage their affairs against goals. Controls are interim measurements, not the
basis of managerial strategy.
One goal of a healthy organization is to develop generally open communication, mutual trust, and confidence between and across levels.
People support what they help create. People affected by a change must be allowed active participation and a sense of ownership in the planning and
conduct of the change.
Interventions range from those designed to improve the effectiveness of individuals through those designed to deal with teams and groups, intergroup
relations, and the total organization. There are interventions that focus on task issues (what people do), and those that focus on process issues (how
people go about doing it). Finally, interventions may be roughly classified according to which change mechanism they tend to emphasize: for example,

Essay on Nestle Frozen Food Product Development and Marketing
Although NRFC believe estimation of pizza sales could base on Contadina pasta's 24% market–penetration rate, more conservative calculation should

demonstrated in Exhibit 1. In all three scenarios, kit only concept will not make up to company's expectation. For kit and topping concept, only if
penetration rate reach to 15%, launch decision could be supported.

influencing customers?favorability was less important that other factors such as quality, it might not be true for pizza case, because refrigerated pasta
has been priced close to competing substitute while its adding benefit of freshness has been well perceived by customers. Since take out pizza serve

existing fresh pizza market share. Moreover, its high price premium will also reduce its attractiveness to frozen pizza buyers. Furthermore, in terms of

Research On The Topic Of Gender
The purpose of this paper is to construct an essay demonstrating my ability to produce a Research Project. I chose to do my research on the topic of
gender, because it is something that I find interesting. In this paper, I will identify three sources that I have chosen based on the topic of gender, and
then I will summarize the main points of the sources. From there, I will evaluate my sources to determine whether or not they are value free, and if
they use empirical evidence. I will also define, discuss, and apply specific sociological terms such as social roles, socialization, and norms from within
the context of gender. As I mentioned above, the topic I chose to research is gender. Often times people use the terms 'sex' and 'gender'
interchangeably, but they are not the same thing. Sex is biological; either you are a male or a female. It is based on things such as DNA, hormones,
genitalia, etc. The term sex is very rigid, whereas the term gender is much more fluid. It could take into account biological factors, but it doesn't
always. Gender refers to the 'physical, behavioral, and personality traits that a group or culture consider to be normal, natural, right and good for its
male and female members (Ferris, The Real World: An Introduction toSociology, 2014).' Gender determines how society influences our understanding

Gender Gap Within The Fields Of Science, Technology,...
In LIBS 6137 I analyzed topics that affected today's teens. I found that a gender gap exists in the fields of science and technology. Females are
underrepresented in the area of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematical (STEM) related careers. According to research, girls should be
encouraged to pursue their interests, find mentors, and collaborate with others in the areas of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. In
light of these findings, I presented a booktalk to a group of girls ages 15– 19 on six books in which the main characters are strong women who have a
special interest or talent in STEM related subjects. A handout was also created for each student and the host. The handout contained a description of the
six books presented in the booktalk, similar books that may be of interest to students on the same topic, as well as websites, magazines, software, and

It also shows that there are more African American and Latina teen births than any other race. It's shown that most teen parents end up parenting alone
because the males aren't mature enough. Teens that live in a house with multiple generations are more likely to succeed because they have parental
support. Some may suggest that the reason for so many teen births is because of the reality show 16 & pregnant and the media. This could be true
because of the way that they glamourize being pregnant. Young girls will look up to them and want to become like them.
Another source shows that the show is a form of birth control to some girls. Some believe that what they see the moms go through is just another
indication of why they shouldn't become pregnant. Some things shown on the show will make you not want to become pregnant at such a young age.
Still having to go through high school and deal with pregnancy hormones is a lot to handle. Then, having to deal with the baby's father walking out is
very stressful. Most young men who get young girls pregnant flee when they're told the news. The Parents Television Council criticizes the show and

What Is The Topic?. What The Topic Is Concerned Of Is How
What is the Topic?
What the topic is concerned of is how a company innovates and changes, both as a company and for its products. In the simplest of terms, it is
essentially the changes and advances a company makes. From there it breaks down into the types of innovation and how it works in the corporate
world. Then there's change which involves how a company responds to market changes and how does it organize itself to handle change.
Why Is This Topic Important?
The most obvious reason would be that innovation is needed in order for a company to stay competitive. Let's use Ford as a pretend example, Ford
decides their truck lineup is good enough so they're going to stop changing the product and keep it as is forever. Asides the fact that ... Show more

Ford's sales would absolutely tank, they need to continue to innovate the brand to keep up sales and stay competitive. This is what makes innovation
crucial because it keeps companies competitive with each other.
What Is the Challenge Here?
The challenge here is how does a company want to innovate and how will they control it. The company has to decide what technology they wish to
pursue to innovate their products. Then they have to decide how they will be able to that, and then execute on such. How does the company want to
innovate, how will they innovate, how will they respond to changes? A company has to answer questions like these, it often takes careful planning and
setting goals for a company to be able to satisfy such questions.
How does Your Company Handle this Topic?
Ford is heavily influenced by this topic, shifting a great deal of their focus towards it. What's interesting with them however, is that they've recently
pushed for taking risks and trying experimental innovation. Just recently at the 2015 Consumer Electronics Show, Ford announced 25 new projects
whose involvement range from car insurance, medical, parking lots, to mobile apps. The company has been experimenting heavily with their mobility
technology, innovating to see just how many markets they can enter with it. While being more experimental, Ford has also pushed for more

I decided to write an article for the readers of a sophisticated scientific based magazine on the topic of farming and poverty. As the problem of world
hunger becomes more and more apparent I wanted to write an article for what I believe is the solution to the problem. My aim was to inform and
persuade the readers to agree with my view that intensive farming is better than free range farming. By all means, there were restrictions and bias to

The reader may be convinced to think that the article is written by an expert on the subject, so, it may encourage the reader to agree with me.
However, my article argues strongly for one side of the argument; my view is against those of the general public, most of which have a false belief
that free range products are better than intensive. Therefore, to support my point I included a large photograph showing the vile conditions in a
free range farm. Using this may help me to get the reader on my side. I chose this specific picture because it demonstrates a wide variety of senses;
you can almost smell the overwhelming stench of the faeces and hear the deafening cluck of a thousand chickens. The right side of the picture is
very dark compared to the left, this could suggest to the reader that there are dark sides to free range farming as well as the bright side that is often
advertised. The light at the end of the farm also makes the farm seem endless, and therefore, it would seem as if there were millions of chickens all
crammed into the cages. This may encourage the reader to dislike free range farming and more likely to support my view.
I knew that the introduction had to be important; I tried to make it as engaging, appealing and shocking as I could. In order to engage my readers, I
started the article with two rhetorical question asking the reader for their opinions on the picture. One of which is: "What do you think this picture

The geocentric view of the universe was long since developed in ancient Greece by an astronomer named Claudius Ptolemy (AD 90– 168). Ptolemy
believed that the sun, stars and other planets revolved around the earth. The idea of "Geocentric" means everything revolves around Earth. It wasn't
long until Nicolaus Copernicus (1473–1543), an astronomer from Poland came up with a new theory that the solar system actually revolved around
the sun. He invented the idea of a solar system. Revolutions (1543) was Copernicus' final work explaining the heliocentric view of the universe. "The

Number Systems Complex NumbersThe earliest reference to complex numbers is from Hero of Alexandria's work Stereometrica in the 1st century AD,
where he contemplates the volume of a frustum of a pyramid.
The proper study first came about in the 16th century when algebraic answers for roots of cubics and quartics were revealed by Italian mathematicians
Tartaglia and Cardano. For example, Tartaglia's formula for a cubic equation x^3=x gives the solution as 1/в€

For example, the treatment of resistors, capacitors, and inductors are unified by combining them in a single complex number called the impedance,
which is the measure of the opposition that a circuit presents to a current when a certain voltage is applied.
AlgebraThe Quadratic FormulaEarly methods for solving quadratic equations were purely geometric.
Babylonian tablets contained problems which could be reduced to solving quadratic equations. The Egyptian Berlin Papyrus (2050–1650 BC) contains
the solution to a two–term quadratic equation.
Euclid (300 BC) used geometric methods to solve quadratic equations in his book Elements.
In Arithmetica, Diophantus (250 BC) solved quadratic equations with methods which more closely resembled algebra. However, his solution only gave
one root, even when both roots are positive.
Brahmagupta (597–668 AD) explicitly described the quadratic formula in words instead of symbols in Brahmasphutasiddhanta in 628 AD. His solution
of ax^2+bx=c equated to the formula: x=(в€
љ(4ac+b^2 )–b)/2a
In the 9th century, Persian mathematician al–Khwarizmi solved quadratic equations algebraically.
The quadratic formula which covered all cases was first described by Simon Stevin in 1594.
The quadratic formula that we know today was published by Rene Descartes in La Geometrie in 1637.
The first appearance of the general solution in modern mathematical literature was in an 1896 paper by Henry

The Topic of Management
Management is a term that was derived from the French word menager, meaning "to use carefully," and the Italian word maneggiare, meaning "to
handle," and was originally applied to horse training. Contemporary management is an ongoing process by which managers create, direct and maintain
organizations through coordinated human effort to ensure that their organization's resources are used appropriately to attain the highest level of
performance and productivity. It is the fundamental integrating process designed to achieve organized, purposeful and meaningful results.Management
is working with and through individuals or groups to accomplish organizational goals (Book, #). In recent years, management has evolved from the
manager being the sole governance of the organization to a more team–oriented approach (Book, #). An understanding of management can help ensure
continuity, promote good human relations and contribute to increased performance.
A manager is someone who coordinates, integrates and directs the work of other members. A position as a manager requires a specific set of skills,
including technical skill, human skill, conceptual skill, political skill and leadership. As the head of an organization, leadership is a responsibility that
falls on the manager (Book, #). Leadership is the process of influencing the behavior and attitudes of others to achieve intended outcomes and is the
key to managerial success (Ray, #).

Topic Of Interest
Topic of Interest People diagnosed with mental health disorders tend to have reduced physical health compared to the general population (Happell et
al., 2011). This topic can relate to nursing practice because nurses can contribute to improving the physical health of patients with mental health
disorders. The writer's understanding of this topic is that people with mental illnesses can be negatively impacted by their disorder. This understanding
is personally shaped by knowledge of people with mental illnesses that have poor physical health due to untreated or undermanaged diagnosis and
comorbidities. The understanding of this topic can fit into two of Carper's (1978) fundamental patterns of knowing in nursing, personal and ethical
knowing. The understanding is personal knowledge for the writer but also raises an ethical dilemma that the poor physical health of mentally ill
patients is morally wrong and discriminative. Importance of Topic Related to Nursing Knowing that patients with mental illnesses suffer from more
physical health related issues than the average person is significant to nursing practice because a solution needs to be discussed by the surrounding
health care team and applied to practice. The articles that will be discussed below were chosen because they... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

general practitioners to conduct further physical examinations on patients with mental illnesses or if the current method was sufficient in identifying
and treating these patients physical symptoms. This article demonstrates a post–positive approach because it uses qualitative research to determine how
effective the current system is on identifying somatic symptoms in patients with mental illnesses. The ontology of this article is

The Topic Of Nutrition
Whilst 'misconception' is defined in the Oxford Dictionary as 'a view or opinion that is incorrect because based on faulty thinking or understanding',
they can also be useful to teachers, as it enables us to assess what the children already understand. This can them inform their planning of how to carry
out the next useful steps in their learning, by purposefully and directly addressing these naive ideas, to break down barriers in the children's learning
and help them flourish. Children gather pieces of information during their childhood, which may be wrongly pieced together or misunderstood, leading
to distorted knowledge or ideas. Within the topic of Functioning of Organisms, I have found some misconceptions relating to the sub–topics of nutrition
, plants and bacteria and have addressed how I, as a teacher, would begin to correct them.
One common misconception in primary science, relating to the topic of nutrition is that all fat is bad for humans when it is consumed. This is
found in children of all ages, as we are taught from a very young age that eating foods with high levels of fat is always bad for our health, as we are
overwhelmed by the media and other messages telling us that eating fatty foods will lead to high levels of obesity, which leads to other health issues
such as heart disease and arthritis. The prevalence of this has driven the population to believe that any intake of fat is bad for us, but this is not the
case. As a discovered in 'Misconceptions in

  • 5. Mental Illness And Self Identity This issue is relevant because mental illness and self identity are starting to become a popular topic in our society. People are starting to realize that even though it may be a difficult subject to speak and learn about, it is important and should be addressed in our society. This issue is important because it helps people embrace who they are and learn about the issues instead of hating on themselves for being different and not knowing the real facts about the issue. If we do not learn how to treat mental illness and accept ourselves, we will never move forward in society and learn how to help others and ourselves with these topics. By learning more about these topics we can help our society grow, by discovering new ways to help people with these problems. We could decrease major issues in our society like mass shootings, and teen suicide. With this topic we can make our society more aware and inclusive of those with these issues. Currently, mental health is a major topic in our society with mass shootings and major crises with our government because everyone says that the shooters were not in a good mental state, which made them do these terrible things. Self identity is also a current issue among many young people who do not know who they are and are still figuring it out. Teens who are not yet proud of their individualism blend into society and become a "brick in the wall" instead of an individual who values their unique qualities and culture.

  • 7. The Topic Of Free Will The topic of free will is an interesting and thought–provoking debate. As a child, I always believed that I had freedom to make my own choices, but now I am not so sure. To start, we must first define the term 'free will.' According to the Oxford English Dictionary, free will is "spontaneous or unconstrained will" or the "inclination to act without suggestion from others" ("free will"). There are four major views on the topic of free will. One is fatalism which is the view that all things are determined to happen but prior events do not influence these events. Another view,determinism, is the belief that all choices are already established due to prior events. The compatibilist view is one where determinism and free will can coexist. And the last is libertarianism, the belief that we have free will and nothing determines the choices that we make (Class Notes). Philosophers like Barron Holbach (determinists) argue that there is no such thing as free will, while William James (libertarian) and G.E. Moore (compatibilist) beg to differ. I agree with Moore and the compatibilist view. Baron Holbach held the view that we have no free will. He was a materialist and determinist meaning he defended the view that "everything is subjected to laws of nature." The view that human beings are subjected to the laws of nature shows that there is no freedom to make choices because we just follow what nature commands of us. He stated that "actions are a consequence of temperament, received ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 12. Reflection Paper On How I Changed As A Speaker I have changed as a speaker in various ways over this past semester. I have gotten more comfortable with myself as a speaker. I learned instead of being scared and nervous to talk in front of my classmates, to just put my self in a place where I feel comfortable. For example when I am speaking in front of the class, I imagine myself standing in my living room just talking to my dad. Another thing that helped me get through my speech is choosing a topic that I know a lot about, this helped my feel more comfortable about what I was talking about. This helps build credibility. I realized that everyone is going to have a strong opinion about certain topics but if you can provide valid information and have good arguing point in a speech then it could really change peoples minds about a certain topic. After I completed my first speech I really understood what it took to be a good speaker, especially after getting feed back from my classmates.

  • 13. Are We The Most Sensitive Generation Of All Time? Are we the most sensitive generation of all time? Many people in our society think that our generation is so hypersensitive about everything. We are not hypersensitive to everything instead it is because we can obtain information so easily today that we as students fear that power. We learn about all these different things that can potentially hurt or offend some people on the internet so we try to not use this power. Thus, this forms a group of words that are regarded as taboo in society because they can trigger the emotions of others Thus, trigger warnings were created to help provide students on campus a safe space to not be affected by society, but is that good for the students? Recently, an article called "The Coddling of the American Mind" by Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt states, "Trigger warnings are alerts that professors are expected to issue if something in a course might cause a strong emotional response" (Lukianoff 1). In their article, they counter the idea of trigger warning stating that avoiding or using trigger warnings would not help students instead we should help them slowly adapt to these extreme situations and word choice because they will not move on from that issue unless addressed.

In a food supermarket we can also buy many different things at once: sausages, fish, sugar, macaroni, flour, cereals, tea. At the butcher's there is a wide choice of meat and poultry. At the bakery you buy brown and white bread, rolls, biscuits. Another shop we frequently go to is the greengrocery which is stocked by cabbage, potatoes, onions, cucumbers, carrots, beetroots, green peas and what not. If I'm not mistaken, everything is sold here ready–weighed and packed. If you call round at a dairy you can buy milk, cream, cheese, butter and many other products. To tell the truth the methods of shopping may vary. It may be a self–service shop where the customer goes from counter to counter selecting and putting into a basket what he wishes to buy. Then he takes the basket to the check–out counter, where the prices of the purchases are added up. If it is not a self–service shop, and most small shops are not, the shop–assistant helps the customer in finding what he wants. You pay money to the cashier and he gives you back the change.

  • 21. Debate Topics Hypnotherapy is therapy that is undertaken with a subject in hypnosis.[citation needed] The word "hypnosis" (from the Greek hypnos, "sleep") is an abbreviation of James Braid 's (1841) term "neuro–hypnotism", meaning "sleep of the nervous system". A person who is hypnotized displays certain unusual characteristics and propensities, compared with a non–hypnotized subject, most notably hyper–suggestibility, which some authorities have considered a sine qua non of hypnosis. For example, Clark L. Hull, probably the first major empirical researcher in the field, wrote, If a subject after submitting to the hypnotic procedure shows no genuine increase in susceptibility to any suggestions whatever, there seems no point in calling him ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Whilst Braid differed in offering an explanation of hypnotitc effects that did not rely on supernatual forces, he credited the methods used in hypnosis to the practice of Mesmerism. Braid said of the subject: Hypnotism might therefore not inaptly be designated, Rational Mesmerism, in contra–distinction to the Transcendental Mesmerism of the Mesmerists.[2] In their original committee report on hypnotherapy, the British Medical Association (BMA), likewise, made a point of condemning the occult theories of Mesmerism and sharply distinguishing them from hypnotism. The Committee, having completed such investigation of hypnotism as time permitted, have to report that they have satisfied themselves of the genuineness of the hypnotic state. No phenomena which have come under their observation, however, lend support to the theory of 'animal magnetism'. ("Report on Hypnotism", British Medical Journal, 1892). Whereas Mesmerism is a supernatural theory, hypnotism attempted to explain the same phenomena in terms of psychology and physiology. As Braid puts it, it is a scientific and "psycho–physiological" (mind–body) discipline. There is no doubt that some individuals have suffered the ill effects of being involved in stage hypnotic shows. Stage hypnotists use words like 'magic ' and 'control ' in an attempt to mystify the effects of hypnosis. In addition, using various tests of hypnotic ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

And, initiatives in advances for personalized medicine include technologies that link informatics with genotype and phenotype data to produce custom built solutions to illness (Welch, 2009). Improvements brought by big data include creating more transparency among stakeholders by making big data more accessible (Manyika, 2011). Having access to and being able to manipulate data sets enables a different way of decision making to bring more science into management. Companies can segment and analyze data in near real time. The analysis improves decision making, minimizes risks, and uncover more insights to enable new innovation. According to (Manyika, 2011), there was questions as to how corporate marketing functions would need to evolve and how business processes could change. There was the question of how companies would leverage assets, particularly data assets, to create more value. There was also a question of how big data might interrupt business models.

A Unified Probabilistic Generative Model To model user check–in activities, we propose a unified probabilistic generative model TRM to sim– ulate the process of user's decision–making for the selection of POIs. Figure 1 shows the graphical representation of TRM where N, K and R denote the number of users, topics and regions, re– spectively. We first introduce the notations of ourmodel and list them in Table II. Our input data, i.e., users' check–in records, are modeled as observed random variables, shown as shaded circles in Figure 1. As a POI has both semantic and geographical attributes, we introduce two latent random variables, topic z and region r, which are responsible for generating them, respectively. Based on the two latent factors, TRM aims to model and infer users' ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Thus, each topic z in TRM is not only associated with a word distribution П•z, but also with a distribu– tion over time П€z. This design enables П•z and П€z to be mutually influenced and enhanced during the topic discovery process, facilitating the clustering of the words of POIs with similar temporal patterns into the same topic with high probability. To integrate the check–in time information to the topic discovery process, we employ the widely adopted discretization method in [Gao et al. 2013; Yuan et al. 2013] to split a day into hourly–based slots. In the standard topic models [Blei et al. 2003; Wallach et al. 2009], a document (i.e., a bag of words) contains a mixture of topics, represented by a topic distribution, and each word has a hidden topic label. While this is a reasonable assumption for long documents, for short document Wv, it is most likely to be about a single topic. We therefore assign a single topic to the document Wv. Similar idea of assigning a single topic to a twitter post has been used before [Zhao et al. 2011]. User Mobility Modeling. Different from users' online behaviors in the virtual world, users' check–in activities in the physical world are limited by travel distance.

However this can commonly lead to confusion and lack of understanding of the terms. Diamond (2002), states that, "It can be said that one is a sex and one does gender; that sex typically, but not always, represents what is between one's legs, whereas gender represents what is between one's ears."p.232. The term 'sex' refers to the biological makeup of that person. 'Sex role' or 'sex typical' behaviour is then, usually the acting out of a person's biological predisposition. Whereas the term gender is society's common perception of how females or males are expected to behave or act and how they should be treated. King (2009), points out that the nature of sexuality is dependent on how its accepted biological basis is interpreted at a particular time by a particular society. Recognition of a clear distinction between the two words is useful and valuable for the psychological understanding of identity, particularly with relation to intersexuality and transsexuality (Diamond, 2002).

There are lists six such assumptions: The basic building blocks of an organization are groups (teams). Therefore, the basic units of change are groups, not individuals. An always relevant change goal is the reduction of inappropriate competition between parts of the organization and the development of a more collaborative condition. Decision making in a healthy organization is located where the information sources are, rather than in a particular role or level of hierarchy. Organizations, subunits of organizations, and individuals continuously manage their affairs against goals. Controls are interim measurements, not the basis of managerial strategy. One goal of a healthy organization is to develop generally open communication, mutual trust, and confidence between and across levels. People support what they help create. People affected by a change must be allowed active participation and a sense of ownership in the planning and conduct of the change. Interventions range from those designed to improve the effectiveness of individuals through those designed to deal with teams and groups, intergroup relations, and the total organization. There are interventions that focus on task issues (what people do), and those that focus on process issues (how people go about doing it). Finally, interventions may be roughly classified according to which change mechanism they tend to emphasize: for example,

From there, I will evaluate my sources to determine whether or not they are value free, and if they use empirical evidence. I will also define, discuss, and apply specific sociological terms such as social roles, socialization, and norms from within the context of gender.

Sex is biological; either you are a male or a female. It is based on things such as DNA, hormones, genitalia, etc. The term sex is very rigid, whereas the term gender is much more fluid. It could take into account biological factors, but it doesn't always. Gender refers to the 'physical, behavioral, and personality traits that a group or culture consider to be normal, natural, right and good for its male and female members (Ferris, The Real World: An Introduction toSociology, 2014).'

Some may suggest that the reason for so many teen births is because of the reality show 16 & pregnant and the media. This could be true because of the way that they glamourize being pregnant. Young girls will look up to them and want to become like them. Another source shows that the show is a form of birth control to some girls.

Then they have to decide how they will be able to that, and then execute on such. How does the company want to innovate, how will they innovate, how will they respond to changes? A company has to answer questions like these, it often takes careful planning and setting goals for a company to be able to satisfy such questions. How does Your Company Handle this Topic? Ford is heavily influenced by this topic, shifting a great deal of their focus towards it.

  • 42. The Topic Of Farming And Poverty Writing commentary I decided to write an article for the readers of a sophisticated scientific based magazine on the topic of farming and poverty. As the problem of world hunger becomes more and more apparent I wanted to write an article for what I believe is the solution to the problem. My aim was to inform and persuade the readers to agree with my view that intensive farming is better than free range farming. By all means, there were restrictions and bias to my argument, so in the end I decided to make it a one sided piece. I intended my article for a more sophisticated audience who will have at least some knowledge on the topic of poverty and farming. However, I knew that I would cause disagreements with the readers as people have ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The reader may be convinced to think that the article is written by an expert on the subject, so, it may encourage the reader to agree with me. However, my article argues strongly for one side of the argument; my view is against those of the general public, most of which have a false belief that free range products are better than intensive. Therefore, to support my point I included a large photograph showing the vile conditions in a free range farm. Using this may help me to get the reader on my side. I chose this specific picture because it demonstrates a wide variety of senses; you can almost smell the overwhelming stench of the faeces and hear the deafening cluck of a thousand chickens. The right side of the picture is very dark compared to the left, this could suggest to the reader that there are dark sides to free range farming as well as the bright side that is often advertised. The light at the end of the farm also makes the farm seem endless, and therefore, it would seem as if there were millions of chickens all crammed into the cages. This may encourage the reader to dislike free range farming and more likely to support my view. I knew that the introduction had to be important; I tried to make it as engaging, appealing and shocking as I could. In order to engage my readers, I started the article with two rhetorical question asking the reader for their opinions on the picture. One of which is: "What do you think this picture shows?", the use of personal ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Ptolemy believed that the sun, stars and other planets revolved around the earth. The idea of "Geocentric" means everything revolves around Earth. It wasn't long until Nicolaus Copernicus (1473–1543), an astronomer from Poland came up with a new theory that the solar system actually revolved around the sun. He invented the idea of a solar system. Revolutions (1543) was Copernicus' final work explaining the heliocentric view of the universe.

The proper study first came about in the 16th century when algebraic answers for roots of cubics and quartics were revealed by Italian mathematicians Tartaglia and Cardano.

For example, the treatment of resistors, capacitors, and inductors are unified by combining them in a single complex number called the impedance, which is the measure of the opposition that a circuit presents to a current when a certain voltage is applied. AlgebraThe Quadratic FormulaEarly methods for solving quadratic equations were purely geometric. Babylonian tablets contained problems which could be reduced to solving quadratic equations. The Egyptian Berlin Papyrus (2050–1650 BC) contains the solution to a two–term quadratic equation. Euclid (300 BC) used geometric methods to solve quadratic equations in his book Elements. In Arithmetica, Diophantus (250 BC) solved quadratic equations with methods which more closely resembled algebra. However, his solution only gave one root, even when both roots are positive. Brahmagupta (597–668 AD) explicitly described the quadratic formula in words instead of symbols in Brahmasphutasiddhanta in 628 AD. His solution of ax^2+bx=c equated to the formula: x=(в€ љ(4ac+b^2 )–b)/2a In the 9th century, Persian mathematician al–Khwarizmi solved quadratic equations algebraically. The quadratic formula which covered all cases was first described by Simon Stevin in 1594. The quadratic formula that we know today was published by Rene Descartes in La Geometrie in 1637.

The Topic of Management Management is a term that was derived from the French word menager, meaning "to use carefully," and the Italian word maneggiare, meaning "to handle," and was originally applied to horse training. Contemporary management is an ongoing process by which managers create, direct and maintain organizations through coordinated human effort to ensure that their organization's resources are used appropriately to attain the highest level of performance and productivity. It is the fundamental integrating process designed to achieve organized, purposeful and meaningful results.Management is working with and through individuals or groups to accomplish organizational goals (Book, #). In recent years, management has evolved from the manager being the sole governance of the organization to a more team–oriented approach (Book, #). An understanding of management can help ensure continuity, promote good human relations and contribute to increased performance. A manager is someone who coordinates, integrates and directs the work of other members. A position as a manager requires a specific set of skills, including technical skill, human skill, conceptual skill, political skill and leadership. As the head of an organization, leadership is a responsibility that falls on the manager (Book, #). Leadership is the process of influencing the behavior and attitudes of others to achieve intended outcomes and is the key to managerial success (Ray, #).

The mined frequent itemsets are then used for obtaining the partition, where the documents are initially clustered without overlapping.

This does not satisfy the second condition of a metric, because after all the combination of two copies is a different object from the original document. Florian, et al. 2002Frequent Term–Based Text Clustering In this paper, we introduce a novel approach which uses frequent item (term) sets for text clustering. Such frequent sets can be efficiently discovered using algorithms for association rule mining. To cluster based on frequent term sets, we measure the mutual overlap of frequent sets with respect to the sets of supporting documents. It can be used to structure large sets of text or hypertext documents. Very high dimensionality of the data, this requires the ability to deal with sparse data spaces or a method of dimensionality reduction.

This topic can relate to nursing practice because nurses can contribute to improving the physical health of patients with mental health disorders. The writer's understanding of this topic is that people with mental illnesses can be negatively impacted by their disorder. This understanding is personally shaped by knowledge of people with mental illnesses that have poor physical health due to untreated or undermanaged diagnosis and comorbidities. The understanding of this topic can fit into two of Carper's (1978) fundamental patterns of knowing in nursing, personal and ethical knowing. The understanding is personal knowledge for the writer but also raises an ethical dilemma that the poor physical health of mentally ill patients is morally wrong and discriminative.

This can them inform their planning of how to carry out the next useful steps in their learning, by purposefully and directly addressing these naive ideas, to break down barriers in the children's learning and help them flourish. Children gather pieces of information during their childhood, which may be wrongly pieced together or misunderstood, leading to distorted knowledge or ideas.
