My First Day at Work

Will Fu Interactive: Core Lab 1 February 2010 Interface, characterized by the word reference as a typical limit or interconnection between frameworks, hardware, ideas, or individuals. It is the thing that permits two totally different items to share an association. By what method can the word interface be applied to displays at historical centers? I immediately understood that answer in the wake of visiting the American Museum of Natural History. At the exhibition hall, there are these displays comprising of different taxidermies of creatures. Every creature had its own presentation case and the case was enriched and painted to look as near its common natural surroundings as could reasonably be expected. As I stop to take a gander at these creatures in their presentation cases and welcome the work that the specialists put in to copy its environmental factors, I started to feel as though I am in the fields of Africa, remaining close to a zebra, or in the profound woods of the Rocky Mountains before a Grizzly Bear. I started to envision what it would resemble on the off chance that I were really at these spots that these creatures lived. At that point as I stroll into the maritime area, they had a similar arrangement for the marine life. There was this specific exhibit that for reasons unknown was so amazing to me that it sent chills down my spine. It was of a whale and a monster squid tangled in a remote ocean fight. The more I gazed at it the more I felt this fight was really occurring before me as though any second, these two creatures going to become animated. The explanation I decided to discuss these creature features is on the grounds that the way that it caused me to feel. The creatures presented so normally and the reasonable establishments filled in as an interface among me and the remote ocean creatures and the untamed life of the wilderness. I think these exhibits are genuine instances of interface in historical centers since it helped me envision what these spots resemble, in actuality.

People oppose the new. It is in light of the above mantra, this content will investigate Neuropsychology. Neuropsychology is one of the most current teaches inside brain research, and along these lines subject to carefulness if not repugnance by those associated with brain science, due exclusively on its originality. Enrolled Counselors in South Africa face an intriguing difficulty †with an end goal to be as successful as conceivable Neuropsychology must be used, in any case, its novelty makes an issue. Correcting advisors costs time and cash in a country that can't manage the cost of it, however not doing so prompts a practically unscrupulous act of wilfully barring the utilization of an instrument that guides in one’s work. It is in view of this that this content plans to give an investigation of Neuropsychology in the accompanying classifications; Neuropsychology as another field, significant phrasing in this field, the job that it plays, the historical backdrop of Neuropsychology to put it plainly, separation of Neuropsychology and related controls, lastly an investigation of Neuropsychology inside South Africa and its importance to Registered Counselors. A portrayal of the author’s cerebrum and mental procedures will likewise be incorporated. 2) Neuropsychology as another field Neuropsychology is another field â€even when contrasted with Psychology itself, a science that has just officially existed for little contrasted with other clinical sciences-as is related with much disarray. An astounding and brief definition is that Neuropsychology is, â€Å"the logical examination of discernment, that is, of every single mental capacity: observation, consideration, learning, memory, handling of communicated in and composed language, thinking, thinking and conviction formation† (Coltheart, 2002:139). There are a few terms in Neuropsychology that must be known. 2.1) Key terms in Neuropsychology Likewise with most fields of science, there are various specialized ideas and terms. The accompanying terms are significant in the event that one wishes to get comfortable at Neuropsychology, yet could not hope to compare to the more specialized terms that a Neuropsychologists Clinical Neuropsychology Clinical Neuropsychology, â€Å"[I]s a claim to fame in proficient brain science that applies standards of appraisal and intercession dependent on the logical investigation of human conduct [sic] as it identifies with typical and unusual working of the focal apprehensive system† (American Psychological Association, 2010). Clinical Neuropsychologists are pre-busy with ordinariness and abnormity of the cerebrum and spine concerning (mental) working, and how to address the irregular. This is the part of Neuropsychology generally associated with mental sickness and harm. Test Neuropsychology Test Neuropsychology is busy with the inquiring about of comprehension and conduct (All Psychology Careers, n.d.). Likewise with all science, Experimental Neuropsychology gives the examination, contemplates, and exact perceptions that approve the hypothesis all through brain research all in all. Exploratory Neuropsychology is subsequently of fundamental significance in Neuropsychology, as it gives the premise to hypotheses. Intellectual Neuropsychology Subjective Neuropsychology is centered around cut the points of interest of the minds structure and capacities converts into (mental) forms. 2.2) the job that Neuropsychology plays 3) The historical backdrop of Neuropsychology Despite the fact that the connection between the psyche and a ‘thinking-organ’ (when thought of the heart, yet commonly as the cerebrum) and conduct, cognizance, and feeling have been known and investigated for centuries, from thinkers, heavenly men, and pharmacists, to doctors and healers (Stanley, 2000) it is just since the center of the nineteenth-century that Neuropsychology has been deductively characterized (Hallett, n.d.). The now renowned Broca, Wernicke, and Dax were the first to watch an observational connection between harm to explicit zones of the mind and the interruption of discourse (just as appreciation of discourse (Hallett, n.d.,; Banich Compton, 2011). When observational science was first utilized it has become both the by right and the accepted methods in which hypothesis and work on with respect to Neuropsychology have been connected. No longer did hypothesis ignore perception. Because of the constraint of gear, there was little advancement in Neuropsychology until the improvement of cerebrum imaging innovation, as no one but post-mortems could definitively be utilized to watch most kinds of mind harm. This innovative burden acted related to the ascent of the conduct point of view of Psychology to put Neuropsychology undesirable (Coltheart,2008) . When attractive reverberation imaging (MRI) was concocted †followed rapidly by practical attractive reverberation imaging (fMRI)- was created, the subjective sciences progressed once more, hence permitting the movement of the cerebrum to be seen while the watched was cognizant and thinking, or moving. This permitted constant correlation between the cerebrum, considerations and activities (All Psychology Careers, n.d. 2) 4) The distinction between fields identified with Neuropsychology There is a lot of cover with Neuropsychology and the clinical (all the more genuinely disapproved) subjective sciences. These distinctions must be referred to in order to stay away from disarray. Psychological Neuroscience, is not the same as Neuropsychology in that in spite of the fact that the two supporters are engaged with mind harm and the data identified with it, Cognitive Neuroscience centers around the hidden neural component that lies beneath cognizance (Daniel, 2000) Psychological Science, is not the same as Neuropsychology 5) Neuropsychology in South Africa South Africa has an autonomous organization with respect to Neuropsychology, the South African Clinical Neuropsychological Association (SACNA) which intends to, â€Å"promote and invigorate enthusiasm for the field of neuropsychology, while keeping up gauges in neuropsychological practice. This is accomplished by guaranteeing that its full individuals have shown information and ability in the field, by method of assessment and companion review† (SACNA, n.d.). The organization’s site gives connects to clinicians to turn out to be a piece of the association and all the advantages that it involves, just as give instructive workshops (SACNA, n.d.). The site likewise gives a way to â€Å"find† a Neuropsychologist (SACNA, n.d.). South Africa’s status as a forming country converts into an absence of financing for social administrations, just as an absence of discretionary cashflow to pay for administrations. In this way, the quantity of authorities, for example, Neuropsychologists is low, however the quantity of Registered Counselors is higher, yet at the same time low contrasted with the perfect †a perfect where there was never an absence of emotional wellness specialists for those out of luck. 6) Relevance of Neuropsychology for Counselors In the South African setting, enlisted guides act inside the job of guards to mental help. To put it plainly, if an advisor can't bolster a customer because of the customer introducing issues and issues outside of the constrained transmit of guiding, the instructor will at that point conclude who to allude their customers to so specialists in explicit mental fields. Thusly, it is of central significance that advisors be taught with enough of these more master fields so a full choice on referral is made with the fullest measure of information to back it. As guides go about as ‘gatekeepers’, masters are kept shielded from exhaust. This is because of the way that a lower bar of section (not really an antagonistic thing) for advocates means there being a bigger number than more expert mental wellbeing experts †who are less in number, and ready to treat scarcely any individuals. taking everything into account Neuropsychology is an intriguing and amazing new part that dwells in Psychology overall, however is identified with Cognitive Neuroscience, Cognitive Science such that connects the physical and the psychological. The extension interfaces two, when discrete, universes. Neuropsychology isn't just the area of master experts, yet ought to likewise tally all emotional wellness experts as a feature of it. Because of the moderately small measure of Neuropsychological pros enrolled advisors must go about as watchmen †alluding the individuals who require Neuropsychological guide to Neuropsychologists, and alluding or keeping the individuals who need distinctive support.

A QA for Deferred Students

A QA for Deferred Students Hi Everyone, I was just taking a look at some of the questions on the open blog threads, and since there were so many questions regarding deferred applicants, I thought I should post a quick QA about what to do going forward as a deferred applicant. We will (as always) release admissions statistics once theyre compiled. This year I can tell you that we had over 6500 EA applications and have admitted 650 applicants early. It continues to be a great pool of motivated and successful students. Anyway, on to the questions: Its over! No one gets in RA after theyve been deferred, right? Not true. We need to look at your application again and consider it in the context of the Regular Action period. Last year there were over 220 deferred applications from the EA pool that ended up getting admitted. It could be more or less this year; it depends on how the pool looks. Basically, if youve been deferred you are now officially a member of the RA pool with no underlying benefits or disadvantages in already having your application read. What should I do now? Should I send in extra materials? The only thing we ask that you do is complete the Midyear Report, which will be available on MyMIT in January. On the Midyear Report, you will provide us with your updated grades (your semester grades are very important, so keep working hard!) as well as a text box for any other updates youd like to provide (new awards, changes to your activities, etc.). We will accept updates in other formats, including mail and email, but the Admissions Committee will primarily look to the Midyear Report for your updates. What is the Midyear Report? The Midyear Report (MYR) is an online form that is required for all applicants, including Early Action deferred applicants and Regular Action applicants. The Midyear Report will be available on your MyMIT account in January and should be completed as soon as possible after completion of the fall semester, second quarter, or first trimester (or whatever equivalent your school system might have).?? It also includes a text box for you to update us on anything important that has occurred since you submitted your application. Using the Midyear Report is preferred, and a lot faster than mailed updates. Should I send in a whole new version of my application, or all new essays? No. You do not need to improve your application, or redo/edit/modify part or all of your application. You were deferred because your application was already strong enough to make you a contender in the Regular Action round. Let your application stand. What about extra essays, recommendations, etc? You may send along anything that you feel would be helpful to the committee. We do not expect or require any of these things. Simply sending in additional materials does not by itself increase your chances of admission. If you do decide that you absolutely need to send something in, other than your Midyear Report, make sure you get it in as soon as possible. Please include the Supplemental Document Cover Form (from your MyMIT account) with any such documents that you fax or mail to us. What about new test scores? If you are taking additional tests in December or January, you can include MIT as a score recipient and we will consider any new scores. Can I call admissions to find out The Reason why I was deferred? If you call in, we will not be able to tell you the reason why you were deferred, or what needs to be improved, simply because things are much more complex than just one reason why you were deferred. In fact, there will likely be nothing at all missing or needing improvement in your application. Honestly, most applications we see are very strong we just need to find the ones we think will fit best into this years class. Thanks and good luck

The Imperfect Tense in Spanish

The imperfect tense in Spanish is the tense that expresses action in the past that has not been completed, that occurred habitually or frequently, or that took place over an indefinite period of time. It contrasts with the preterite tense, which expresses​ an action that took place at a definite time or has been completed. English does not have an imperfect tense per se, although it has other ways of expressing the concept of the Spanish imperfect, such as by context or by saying that something used to happen or was happening. The preterite and imperfect tenses are often referred to as the two simple past tenses of Spanish. The imperfect tense can also be contrasted with the perfect tenses of Spanish, which refer to completed action. (Although the usage is no longer common, the English perfect is sometimes a synonym of complete.) Spanish has past perfect, present perfect and future perfect tenses. By itself, the term imperfect tense usually refers to its indicative form. Spanish also has two forms of the subjunctive imperfect, which are nearly always interchangeable. The imperfect is known as the pretà ©rito imperfecto in Spanish. Forming the Imperfect Tense The indicative imperfect is conjugated  in the following pattern for regular -ar, -er and -ir verbs: Hablar: yo hablaba, tà º hablabas, usted/à ©l/ella hablaba, nosotros/nosotras hablà ¡bamos, vosotros/vosotras hablabais, ustedes/ellos/ellas hablaban.Beber: yo bebà ­a, tà º bebà ­as, usted/à ©l/ella bebà ­a, nosotros/nosotras bebà ­amos, vosotros/vosotras bebà ­ais, ustedes/ellos/ellas bebà ­an.Vivir: yo vivà ­a, tà º vivà ­as, usted/à ©l/ella vivà ­a, nosotros/nosotras vivà ­amos, vosotros/vosotras vivà ­ais, ustedes/ellos/ellas vivà ­an. The subjunctive form in more common use is conjugated as follows: Hablar: yo hablara, tà º hablaras, usted/à ©l/ella hablara, nosotros/nosotras hablà ¡ramos, vosotros/vosotras hablarais, ustedes/ellos/ellas hablaran.Beber: yo bebiera, tà º bebieras, usted/à ©l/ella bebiera, nosotros/nosotras bebià ©ramos, vosotros/vosotras bebierais, ustedes/ellos/ellas bebieran.Vivir: yo viviera, tà º vivieras, usted/à ©l/ella viviera, nosotros/nosotras vivieramos, vosotros/vosotras vivierais, ustedes/ellos/ellas vivieran. Uses for the Imperfect Tense One of the most common uses of the present tenses is to tell of past actions that did not have a clear beginning or end. These may involve situations or repeated actions that occurred over an indefinite period of time. A simple example is Asistà ­amos a la escuela or We attended the school. Use of the imperfect tense indicates that it is unimportant when the attendance began and ended—in fact, asistà ­amos could be used even if the speaker is still a student at the school as long as the students attended in the past. Note that there is a subtle meaning of difference from the preterite equivalent, Asistimos a la escuela, which also could be translated as We attended the school. The preterite suggests the speaker no longer attended the school, or that the reference is to a specific time. Similarly, the imperfect is used in specifying the background of another event. For example, Nos conocimos cuando asistà ­amos a la escuela, or We met each other when we were attending the school. Conocimos is in the preterite from because it refers to an incident that occurred at a specific time, but the background portion of the sentence uses the imperfect. Translation of the imperfect to English depends on the context. The most frequent translations for asistà ­amos include we attended, we used to attend, we were attending, and we would attend. Sample Sentences Using the Imperfect Tense Spanish imperfect verbs (in boldface) with possible English translations are shown below. Él cantaba. (He used to sing. The English translation shows how the activity occurred over an indefinite, extended period of time.)Ella escribà ­a la carta. (She was writing the letter. Note that in this and the above example, out of context the verb doesnt indicate when or even whether the action came to an end.)Yo conocà ­a a Eva. (I knew Eva. Conocer can mean to know or to meet. The use of the imperfect here shows that the activity took place over an indefinite period of time, so knew makes sense here.)Una mujer murià ³ en el hospital mientras estaba bajo custodia. (A woman died in the hospital while she was in custody. This sentence shows the use of the imperfect for background.)Cuando era estudiante, jugaba todo el tiempo. (When he was a student, he would play all the time.)Dudo que mi madre comprara alguna vez esa revista. (I doubt that my mother ever bought that magazine. The imperfect is used here because the possible event wouldnt have happened at a particular time.)U n gran buffet estaba a la disposicià ³n de ellos para que comieran todo lo que quisieran. (A huge buffet was at their disposal so they could eat whatever they wanted. Note how the context requires different ways of translating the subjunctive.) Key Takeaways The imperfect tense is one of the two Spanish simple past tenses, the other being the preterite.The imperfect tense is used when the beginning and end of the action are unknown, unspecified, and/or unimportant.One common use of the imperfect is in describing events that serve as background for another event.

To Write a Proper and Well-Constructed Resume Free Essays

Generally, a resume is a list of credentials that serves as an introduction to those who will hopefully employ a person for a particular job or position. To write a proper and well-constructed resume is often a rather daunting task, due to the need to thoroughly assess one’s personality, accomplishments and acquired skills. The act of composing and submitting a resume also requires a careful consideration of the company that might be one’s future employer. We will write a custom essay sample on To Write a Proper and Well-Constructed Resume or any similar topic only for you Order Now A person must know exactly what the company is looking for and if his/her qualifications meet the company’s overall needs. But writing the resume is but one crucial step in the process, yet it is the most important element which will eventually lead to a new job or position. A poorly written resume often results in a negative response from employers, yet a well-written and conceived resume can influence the employer or interviewer to ask about one’s strengths and the skills that a person can bring to a prospective employer. Even a person with little or no experience can find a good job is he/she is helped by a thoughtful and well-polished resume. In today’s modern world, employers do not have the time nor the patience to read lengthy and disorganized resumes, for in reality, they look for tightly-composed, straightforward and action-based resumes. Although a one-page resume is the normal type, a two-pager may be needed if the person seeking employment has extensive work experience or has changed careers and requires the proper space to relate their accomplishments and work experience. According to â€Å"Writing Resume Tips,† the following traits must be part of every successful resume-careful proofreading with attention paid to spelling, punctuation, grammar and style; all information must be organized in a logical fashion; all descriptions must be clear and to the point; simple and easy to read fonts are mandatory, such as New Times Roman, Palatino, Helvetica and Arial; if possible, the resume must be confined to one single page; always include as much work experience as possible, even if it does not relate directly to the job one is seeking; all information must be tailored to the job one is seeking, and lastly, if one is not sure on how to proceed with the writing of a resume, always seek out professional assistance, either at school or the local library (Jobweb, Internet). Of course, knowing exactly what to include in a resume is an art in itself, for everything depends on a person’s â€Å"individual career goals as well as one the professional goals of the companies hiring in (one’s) area or field of interest. † Thus, through â€Å"research, planning, questioning and self-reflection,† a person will be able to create a well-written and positively-viewed resume (â€Å"Your Resume: General Concerns,† Internet). There are three types of resumes that are currently being used by students fresh from the university and by professional persons seeking new positions or changing their careers. The first is called the reverse chronological resume in which the most recent job or position is listed first. This is the type of resume usually preferred by employers who have to read a large number of resumes and it is by far the most popular and widely circulated. However, this type of resume may not be the most effective means of highlighting one’s skills and accomplishments. A second type of resume is known as the functional resume which is generally used by those re-entering the workforce after many years or trying to change career fields. This type places the focus on achievements instead of the sequence of one’s work history as in the chronological resume. In the functional resume, a person’s experience is presented via general accomplishments and the skills developed over one’s entire working life. Also, the functional resume is organized quite differently. For example, the work experience section is divided in two with job duties and accomplishments making up one section; the second section contains the basic elements of one’s work history and comes after the accomplishments section which is often called â€Å"employment history,† due to being a chronological overview of former jobs and positions. In today’s technological age, there is now another type of resume known as the electronic resume which is cut and pasted in an email and transmitted as part of the email message. Generally, this type of resume contains no formatting-â€Å"Whatever was bold becomes regular type; underlining, italics, centering and justification disappear, and the resume ends up being transmitted in the font designed for emailing† (Eyler, Resumes for Success, 67). However, under exceptional circumstances, a person may opt to create a generic resume which contains no industry-specific information and is meant to appeal to a wide range of organizations and companies. For the most part, all of these type of resumes, with the exception of the electronic type, contain two important sections-first, the primary section, made up of an introduction, experience and education, and then the secondary section which may contain the objective, professional honors and awards, publications, computer skills, professional organizations, community activities, club memberships, volunteer positions, college work experience, military experience and some personal information such as supportive references (Eyler, Resumes for Success, 78). Obviously, the three most important elements of any well-organized resume are the introduction which gives the potential employer some basic background information on exactly which job or position is being sought, the experience section which details a person’s work history and the education section which highlights a person’s educational achievements at the high school, local community college and university levels. The experience section of a resume describes the work that a person has performed throughout his/her working life or career and thus appears first on the resume. However, if a person is changing careers, his/her work experience may be completely unrelated to the type of job or position being sought which makes the education section more important, thereby placing it before the experience section. Also, if a person has held a position in which certain degrees or related documents were required for employment, such as in law, medicine, engineering or management, the resume must begin with the education section. If a resume is begun with the work experience section, it should be in reverse chronological order, starting with the most current or recent employer. This section must also include accomplishments and duties via what type of work was done, what was achieved and how an employer benefited from one’s accomplishments on the job. Special consideration should be given to supervision, such as holding some type of management position in which one supervised or managed a number of people along with the specific title one held (Eyler, Resumes for Success, 95). Following the primary section, the resume then offers more information on various personal traits. With the objective, this statement refers to the type of position one is seeking, but often it is omitted, due to limiting the types of positions which may be offered to the prospective employee by the company or institution. When describing the job objective, it is a good idea to keep it extremely simple and direct and to make certain that it tells the employer what one wants to do within a company. Professional honors and awards can also be included in the objective, but only if they relate to the position being sought. For instance, a person applying as a manager in the automotive business might include awards from major automobile manufacturers or recognition for some type of innovative change. A person might also include any type of publishing credentials, especially those related to the position one is seeking. Since today’s world is so reliant on technology, it is a good idea to include a short description on one’s computer skills, particularly if the skills are related to programs essential to engineering or statistical management. Professional organizations can often play important roles, for they demonstrate â€Å"a sincere interest and commitment to one’s career and reflect real involvement in a person’s chosen field of specialty† (Eyler, Resumes for Success, 124). The same holds true for community activities, club memberships and voluntary activities outside of the work environment, and by mentioning them, it may be beneficial if the position one is seeking requires strong social skills, such as in management and personnel recruitment. For those seeking to change careers and recent university graduates, including college work experience on a resume can make all the difference, for the potential employer will see that the person seeking the job or position was highly interested as a student in a particular vocation, especially if there is an indication that the work experience was as an intern, meaning that it was unpaid and voluntary. Of course, military experience can often be highly influential, for some employers may be veterans or currently hold reserve status in the National Guard or Coast Guard. One final piece of advice has to do with mentioning memberships in organizations that indicate a person’s religion, such as Masonic lodges or fraternities, and political preference, such as a member of a political party. In the field of management, the narrative paragraph adds the finishing touch to most resumes and is designed to provide â€Å"key information about one’s abilities, including any advanced or specialized education, publishing credentials and speaking engagements, all of which usually greatly impressive prospective employers† (Eyler, Resumes for Success, 126). When composing the narrative, those seeking positions in management should try to include descriptive statements that pertain to one’s accomplishments, responsibilities and personal strengths. For example, a resume could mention that the prospective employee is an innovative and energetic leader, a skilled communicator and team builder; an accomplished expert at organizational repositioning and the development of strategic initiatives; an accomplished corporate strategist; has demonstrated leadership abilities to develop and implement solutions that improve sales and revenues; an expert at identifying and capturing business in high-growth market segments; accomplished at managing diverse groups, people and situations and an expert at human resources development, motivation and management. In conclusion, a resume is an extremely subjective document, and while its primary goal is to illustrate a potential employee’s strengths, accomplishments and capabilities, the exact way to present these traits depends on the interviewer/employer. However, a well-constructed and written resume will always be appreciated by potential employers, for it not only demonstrates a person’s organizational abilities but also illuminates one’s dedication and perseverance to the often agonizing pursuit of finding the right job or position.

In today’s modern world, employers do not have the time nor the patience to read lengthy and disorganized resumes, for in reality, they look for tightly-composed, straightforward and action-based resumes. Although a one-page resume is the normal type, a two-pager may be needed if the person seeking employment has extensive work experience or has changed careers and requires the proper space to relate their accomplishments and work experience. According to â€Å"Writing Resume Tips,† the following traits must be part of every successful resume-careful proofreading with attention paid to spelling, punctuation, grammar and style; all information must be organized in a logical fashion; all descriptions must be clear and to the point; simple and easy to read fonts are mandatory, such as New Times Roman, Palatino, Helvetica and Arial; if possible, the resume must be confined to one single page; always include as much work experience as possible, even if it does not relate directly to the job one is seeking; all information must be tailored to the job one is seeking, and lastly, if one is not sure on how to proceed with the writing of a resume, always seek out professional assistance, either at school or the local library (Jobweb, Internet). Of course, knowing exactly what to include in a resume is an art in itself, for everything depends on a person’s â€Å"individual career goals as well as one the professional goals of the companies hiring in (one’s) area or field of interest. † Thus, through â€Å"research, planning, questioning and self-reflection,† a person will be able to create a well-written and positively-viewed resume (â€Å"Your Resume: General Concerns,† Internet). There are three types of resumes that are currently being used by students fresh from the university and by professional persons seeking new positions or changing their careers. The first is called the reverse chronological resume in which the most recent job or position is listed first. This is the type of resume usually preferred by employers who have to read a large number of resumes and it is by far the most popular and widely circulated. However, this type of resume may not be the most effective means of highlighting one’s skills and accomplishments. A second type of resume is known as the functional resume which is generally used by those re-entering the workforce after many years or trying to change career fields. This type places the focus on achievements instead of the sequence of one’s work history as in the chronological resume. In the functional resume, a person’s experience is presented via general accomplishments and the skills developed over one’s entire working life. Also, the functional resume is organized quite differently. For example, the work experience section is divided in two with job duties and accomplishments making up one section; the second section contains the basic elements of one’s work history and comes after the accomplishments section which is often called â€Å"employment history,† due to being a chronological overview of former jobs and positions. In today’s technological age, there is now another type of resume known as the electronic resume which is cut and pasted in an email and transmitted as part of the email message. Generally, this type of resume contains no formatting-â€Å"Whatever was bold becomes regular type; underlining, italics, centering and justification disappear, and the resume ends up being transmitted in the font designed for emailing† (Eyler, Resumes for Success, 67). However, under exceptional circumstances, a person may opt to create a generic resume which contains no industry-specific information and is meant to appeal to a wide range of organizations and companies. For the most part, all of these type of resumes, with the exception of the electronic type, contain two important sections-first, the primary section, made up of an introduction, experience and education, and then the secondary section which may contain the objective, professional honors and awards, publications, computer skills, professional organizations, community activities, club memberships, volunteer positions, college work experience, military experience and some personal information such as supportive references (Eyler, Resumes for Success, 78). Obviously, the three most important elements of any well-organized resume are the introduction which gives the potential employer some basic background information on exactly which job or position is being sought, the experience section which details a person’s work history and the education section which highlights a person’s educational achievements at the high school, local community college and university levels. The experience section of a resume describes the work that a person has performed throughout his/her working life or career and thus appears first on the resume. However, if a person is changing careers, his/her work experience may be completely unrelated to the type of job or position being sought which makes the education section more important, thereby placing it before the experience section. Also, if a person has held a position in which certain degrees or related documents were required for employment, such as in law, medicine, engineering or management, the resume must begin with the education section. If a resume is begun with the work experience section, it should be in reverse chronological order, starting with the most current or recent employer. This section must also include accomplishments and duties via what type of work was done, what was achieved and how an employer benefited from one’s accomplishments on the job. Special consideration should be given to supervision, such as holding some type of management position in which one supervised or managed a number of people along with the specific title one held (Eyler, Resumes for Success, 95). Following the primary section, the resume then offers more information on various personal traits. With the objective, this statement refers to the type of position one is seeking, but often it is omitted, due to limiting the types of positions which may be offered to the prospective employee by the company or institution. When describing the job objective, it is a good idea to keep it extremely simple and direct and to make certain that it tells the employer what one wants to do within a company. Professional honors and awards can also be included in the objective, but only if they relate to the position being sought. For instance, a person applying as a manager in the automotive business might include awards from major automobile manufacturers or recognition for some type of innovative change. A person might also include any type of publishing credentials, especially those related to the position one is seeking. Since today’s world is so reliant on technology, it is a good idea to include a short description on one’s computer skills, particularly if the skills are related to programs essential to engineering or statistical management. Professional organizations can often play important roles, for they demonstrate â€Å"a sincere interest and commitment to one’s career and reflect real involvement in a person’s chosen field of specialty† (Eyler, Resumes for Success, 124). The same holds true for community activities, club memberships and voluntary activities outside of the work environment, and by mentioning them, it may be beneficial if the position one is seeking requires strong social skills, such as in management and personnel recruitment. For those seeking to change careers and recent university graduates, including college work experience on a resume can make all the difference, for the potential employer will see that the person seeking the job or position was highly interested as a student in a particular vocation, especially if there is an indication that the work experience was as an intern, meaning that it was unpaid and voluntary. Of course, military experience can often be highly influential, for some employers may be veterans or currently hold reserve status in the National Guard or Coast Guard. One final piece of advice has to do with mentioning memberships in organizations that indicate a person’s religion, such as Masonic lodges or fraternities, and political preference, such as a member of a political party. In the field of management, the narrative paragraph adds the finishing touch to most resumes and is designed to provide â€Å"key information about one’s abilities, including any advanced or specialized education, publishing credentials and speaking engagements, all of which usually greatly impressive prospective employers† (Eyler, Resumes for Success, 126). When composing the narrative, those seeking positions in management should try to include descriptive statements that pertain to one’s accomplishments, responsibilities and personal strengths. For example, a resume could mention that the prospective employee is an innovative and energetic leader, a skilled communicator and team builder; an accomplished expert at organizational repositioning and the development of strategic initiatives; an accomplished corporate strategist; has demonstrated leadership abilities to develop and implement solutions that improve sales and revenues; an expert at identifying and capturing business in high-growth market segments; accomplished at managing diverse groups, people and situations and an expert at human resources development, motivation and management. In conclusion, a resume is an extremely subjective document, and while its primary goal is to illustrate a potential employee’s strengths, accomplishments and capabilities, the exact way to present these traits depends on the interviewer/employer. However, a well-constructed and written resume will always be appreciated by potential employers, for it not only demonstrates a person’s organizational abilities but also illuminates one’s dedication and perseverance to the often agonizing pursuit of finding the right job or position.

Green Purchasing Strategy

Question: Describe about the green purchasing strategy. Answer: Green purchasing strategy is the suitable one to be followed during purchase for the organization. The green purchasing strategy would help the organization to promote the best procurement practices by minimizing cost, maximizing quality and assuring the quality products which are delivered on time (Bratton and Gold 2012). In addition, before purchasing the products, other peoples builds would be analyzed for gaining new ideas. In addition, the risk related to the purchasing would also be analyzed before purchasing which would be one prior stage of implementing the purchasing strategy. There are several risks for purchasing on behalf of the organization. While making purchase from own the buyers own viewpoint, the specific requirements for individual items might not meet the organizational objectives. Due to interrupted communication the delivery process can be delayed which might affect the organizational service. For purchasing products on behalf of the organization, the buyer would consult with the manager of the team, the production head and the head authority of the supply chain for understanding the product priorities. For analyzing the minimum cost that should be permitted for purchase, the employee should consult with the accounts department about the organizational financial capabilities and for further specified information, production consultant can help him to assess the product features for maximizing purchase benefits (Hendry 2012). For purchasing paper on behalf of the organization, some steps should be followed by the organization. Initially, the buyer should be paper efficient, i.e. the buyer should know how to use paper smartly for protecting environment and support fair access of paper, thereby developing world. Involving product redesigning, reuse and recycling can help to promote this step. Then, for purchasing paper, the virgin tree fiber should be limited, as it puts more pressure on biodiversity which affects negatively on environment. Third strategy is, buying green paper which would support both positive environment and social involvement of the organization. For this step, paper certified by the Forest Stewardship council (FSC) should be purchased. Next, the clean paper would be purchased, for example, unbleached or chlorine free bleached paper (TCF/PCF) (Buller and McEvoy 2012). The transparent paper products would be more preferable. Finally, the green paper brands would be selected for gaining mo re success The receiving person would go through a thorough process while receiving goods. The first step is to ensure that the purpose of purchase has been met successfully. The person should have sufficient knowledge about the product. In this context, the Blind method would be preferred which involves the invoice/purchase order. The receiving person will quantify the goods through proper measuring, weighing, counting and documenting the purchase. Then the document would be analyzed based on the original order (Jiang et al. 2012). To ensure that the right products has been received, each details of the products would be compared and verified by analyzing the received product featured with the order placing documents. In this context, sometimes, batch numbers are compared for avoiding any mistake. If the delivered goods have not complied with the ordered goods or its features, the receiving person would contact with the delivery brand through their customer service executive and would send an e mail with details of order and delivery documents for seeking clarification of this inconvenience. Before contacting with the customer care, the receiving person has to contact with the higher authority including the production manager and head of the supply chain manager (Walker and Walker 2012). For accounting these purchases the product order and delivery details can be used. During the placement of order, the suppliers would provide written or electronic documentation regarding the order placement, these documents should be reviewed. The batch number, order number and the booking number should be reviewed. With the help of these records, the dispute in delivery can be claimed. Following the codes of ethics and conduct, all the ethical rules would be considered by both the buyer and supplier. The consumer protection legislation would protect the consumer against any kind of inconvenience or misuse during the purchase action. The contract law helps to strengthen the voluntary agreement within the supplier and buyer. The sales goods act 1979 help to assure the contract of sale of goods by the seller and ensure the agreement of transferring the required property in goods. The price fixing provisions, price discrimination, fair trading of goods are assured by these legislations (Nickson 2013). a. Accountability is responsible for the business decisions and actions as well as the consequences of those actions and decisions taken in the organizational context. Probity principle highlights the evidence of ethical behavior which could be defined as the honesty, integrity and uprightness in a process. According to this principles, the officials must act ethically should not make improper use of their current position. Fairness and transparency in purchasing decisions is ensured by probity in Australian government (Tan and Yeap 2012). Risk management is referred to characterizing, assessing and prioritizing risk in the organizational purchase. It helps to avoid the failure processes and assessment helps to identify the exact requirements of goods and how can these be effective for organizational benefits. The value for money principle can be defined as achievement of expected outcomes of the purchase goods at the best and least possible price.

Jean Anyon Social Class free essay sample

In this paper I will analyzes the various literary techniques used in the essay â€Å"Social Class and the Hidden Curriculum of Work† by author Jean Anyon as tools to persuade her audience of Professional Educators. In the 1980 article, Anyon examines, through imperial research, how elementary students of different socioeconomic status (SES) receive differing educations. Anyon affirms that access to an equal education is not easily accessible to those of the lower working class. Furthermore, Anyon attests that students from higher SES backgrounds have an advantage when it comes to receiving an adequate education. Her main argument is that that there is a hidden curriculum in schoolwork that shapes the future of students affected. Her essay provides thorough logos to support these beliefs provided by a study of â€Å"pupil evaluation† of five elementary schools located in New Jersey. Within Anyon’s article her tone was very explicit and consistent. Her use of diction is a supplement to the ethos and pathos of the article. We will write a custom essay sample on Jean Anyon Social Class or any similar topic specifically for you Do Not WasteYour Time HIRE WRITER Only 13.90 / page Her sentence structure consists of formal and concrete language that offers credibility to her, as the author, and text. (Add evidence such as sentence with formal words. See attachment for explanation of formal language) Another persuasive tool used by Anyon is her use of statistics and illustrations. These tools add to the ethos of the article by providing goodwill to the reader and they also accentuate the logos by providing clear evidence to the author’s argument. Throughout the article Anyon provides illustrative examples to support and qualify her argument. She first explains the different types of schools that were apart of the study. Two of the schools were classified as working-class schools. In working-class schools the work was very systematic, â€Å"involving rote behavior and very little decision making or choice†. Also, students rarely received an explanation on why certain work was given or its relevance to other material. The third school was classified as a middle-class school. This school differed from the working-class schools in that it offered a more transparent curriculum and the flexibility to â€Å"some figuring, some choice, some decision making. † To put it frankly: getting the right answer got you a good grade. Most classes go by the book, which the teachers explain, but don’t really analyze the material. There is little creativity involved in the work, which is usually limited to written assignments, which makes school very dull for the students. (Highlighted portion needs to be paraphrases) Anyon identifies the fourth school as an affluent professional school.

The cost of equity capital and the CAPM Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 1000 words

The cost of equity capital and the CAPM - Essay Example The three most popular methods include: dividend growth model, capital asset pricing model and the arbitrage pricing model. Dividend growth model Organizations utilize the cash generated for two purposes: they either reinvest it in the growth or new projects of the organization or pay some amount as dividend to the common stockholder. The Dividend growth model is based on this premises that a shareholder of the organization will want both dividend as well as capital appreciation while holding the stock. The cost of equity in this case can be given as (Weaver and Weston, 2004, pg.282): Where, R is the required rate of return Dcs1 is the dividend payout in year 1 Pcs is the price of the stock G is the growth rate in percentage terms One of the most important factors while calculating the required rate of return thru’ the dividend growth rate is the calculation of the growth rate, G. This is an estimated growth rate and hence special precaution needs to be taken while calculating R. The three options to estimate G are: estimation of an internal growth rate, estimation from historical growth rates or by studying the growth rates stated by the management in the annual report. Because of the trickiness in estimation of the growth rate of the stock, the dividend growth rate is rarely used for the calculation of the cost of capital. The model is simplistic in nature which makes it very adaptable to many specific situations. It is a more conservative model as compared to the other two. This model is effective in finding low PE ratios and high dividend yield stocks to be undervalued. Capital Asset pricing model (CAPM) The CAPM approach of calculating the required return of a security is based on the premise that the expected return on a stock is a function of the return of the market and the sensitivity of the return of stock to changes in return of the market. For an individual security the risk of the security can be thought of as a measure of ?. Because of dive rsification, the expected return on a security is positively related to its ?. The expected return on a security in this case can be given as: CAPM is the most widely used method to calculate the expected rate of return or the cost of capital. Some of the key assumptions on which CAPM is developed are: All investors are thinking of the same period while deciding investments Investors choose their portfolios solely on the basis of expected returns and risks Investors can borrow or lend unlimited amount of money at the risk free rate All investors are having homogenous expectations. At the same time, all investors have the required knowledge and information There are no transactional costs, taxes or restrictions on shorting a stock Investors are risk averse While CAPM is quite frequently used, it can be easily seen that most of the assumptions are very simplistic in nature and do not hold true for many cases. At the same time, another problem that the CAPM is suffering from is the cal culation of ?. While the CAPM equation suggests that ? should be forward looking, in reality, it is calculated from historical returns (Gitman, 2006, pg. 47). Still, most of the financial economists consider it as the best tool to calculate the retuired rate of return. Its validity has been proved by many studies that have indicated concurrence with

Overview Of Beethoven And Mozart Music Essay

Overview Of Beethoven And Mozart Music Essay According to Mozarts Magic Flute and Beethoven (2004), During the XVIII century in some countries (Italy, Germany, Austria, France) results the formation of new genres and forms of instrumental music, was finally formed and reached its climax in the so-called Viennese classical school. Viennese classical school, organically absorbed the advanced achievements of the national musical culture, was itself deeply national phenomenon, rooted in the democratic culture of the Austrian people.  Representatives of the artistic direction have been V.A.  Mozart and L. van Beethoven.  Each of them was a bright personality.  Mozarts style was more typical lyric-dramatic start.  The style of Beethoven was the embodiment of heroic pathos of struggle.  However, along with the differences which result in unique individuality of each of these composers, their combined realism, life-affirming and democratic beginning. Art of Viennese classics made into world music a powerful jet of realistic and democratic, based on the wealth of folk art, and because it has preserved for us all of its value and artistic significance. Creativity of Mozart occupies a special place in the Viennese Classical School.  In his classic works of rigor and clarity of form united with deep emotion.  Music composer is close to the directions in the culture of the second half of the XVIII century. Also, there were converted to human feelings Storm and Stress, part sentimentalism, and by Mozart was first shown the contradictory inner world of the individual. According to SolomonHYPERLINK http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maynard_Solomon HYPERLINK http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maynard_SolomonMaynard  (1995), Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born in Salzburg (Austria).  With a phenomenal musical ear and memory, he was already in his early childhood, he learned to play the harpsichord, and in five years, wrote the first essay.  First teacher of the future composer was his father, Leopold Mozart Orchestra Musician Archbishop of Salzburg.  Mozart brilliantly mastered not only the harpsichord, but also organ and violin, and was famous as a brilliant improviser.  When he was six years old, he toured Europe.  At eleven, he created the first opera Apollo et Hyacinthus, and fourteen had already conducted in a theater in Milan at the premiere of his own opera Mitridate, King of Pontus. Around the same time, he was elected a member of the Philharmonic Academy of Bologna. Like many musicians of that era, Mozart was on the court service (1769-1781) he was the accompanist and organist for the Archbishop of Salzburg.  However, the independent character of the wizard causes a sharp displeasure with the archbishop, and Mozart chose to leave the service.  Of the outstanding composers of the past he was the first who chose to live as a free artist.  In 178,1  Mozart moved to Vienna, where he had a family.  He earned rare editions of his own, piano lessons and performances. Particular attention is paid to Mozart opera.  His works are an epoch in the development of this kind of music.  Opera has attracted the composer by the opportunity to show the relationship of people, their feelings and aspirations. Mozart did not try to create a new operatic form novel itself was his music.  In the mature works of the composer abandoned the strict demarcation of the opera on a serious and comic there was music and drama performance in which these elements are intertwined.  As a consequence, in the operas of Mozart has not unambiguously positive and negative characters, the characters are vibrant and multifaceted, not bound by the role. Mozart often turned to literary sources.  So the opera Le Nozze di Figaro (1786) was written on the play by French playwright Beaumarchais Crazy Day or The Marriage of Figaro, which was banned by the censor.  The main theme of the opera is love, which, however, can be said of all the works of Mozart.  However, there is in the product and the social implications: Figaro and his beloved Susanna are smart and energetic, but they are of humble origin. They were only servants in the house of Count Almaviva.  Their opposition to master (stupid and fooled aristocrat) elicits the sympathy of the author it is clear that he was on the side of love. In the opera Don Giovanni (1787), he received his musical incarnation of the medieval story of the seducer.  Energetic, temperamental, capricious and free of all moral norms, the hero confronts in the face of a Commander of a higher power, a symbol of reasonable order.  Philosophical generalization neighbors here with amorous intrigues and genre and household items.  Tragic and the comic form an indissoluble unity.  It would seem that justice prevails in the final sin (Don Giovanni) punished. But the music of the opera is thinner and harder this simplified understanding of the product: it gives the listener sympathy for the hero, remains true to herself even in the face of death. Philosophical tale The Magic Flute (1791) was written in the zingshpil genre.  The main idea of the work the inevitable victory of good over evil, calls for fortitude, to love, to understand its ultimate meaning.  Heroes of the opera are serious tests (silence, fire, water), but worthy of overcoming them and reach a realm of beauty and harmony. As a representative of the Viennese Classical School,  Mozart attached great importance to the genre of the symphony.  Especially popular are the last three symphonies Thirty-ninth, fortieth and forty-first (Jupiter), created in 1788.  Works of this genre finally anchored four-part cycle, and the rules of the sonata form. Symphonies by Mozart include a variety of subtle emotional nuances.  Topics are often uneven in nature, challenging the rhythm, sometimes accompanied by sharp run harmonies, but the music remains honed, clear form. According to SolomonHYPERLINK http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maynard_Solomon HYPERLINK http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maynard_SolomonMaynard  (1995), Mozart also became one of the founders of the genre of classical concert.  The basis of competition concert soloist and orchestra, and this process is always subject to strict logic.  Composer has written twenty-seven concerts for piano and orchestra, and seven for violin and orchestra.  In some works of listeners struck a masterly skill, festivity, in other dramatic and emotional contrasts. Mozart piano works include nineteen sonatas, in which he continued to develop the sonata form, as well as essays in the genre of fantasy (of music based on improvisation and free form).  The composer refused harpsichord and clavichord, in comparison with the piano softer, but weak sound.  Mozart piano style was a clear, elegant, with well crafted melodies and accompaniment. Mozart composed the music very easily, sometimes without drafts, creating works, unsurpassed in artistic beauty and harmony.  Musicians, contemporaries appreciated talents of Mozart, but most of the aristocratic audience did not understand his work, and in recent years, the composers life did not take at all.  Mozart died in poverty and was buried in Vienna in a common grave. Music should strike a light from the human breast a word of German composer Ludwig van Beethoven, whose works belong to the highest achievements of musical culture. Beethovens worldview evolved under the influence of the Enlightenment ideals of freedom and the French Revolution.  The music of his work on the one hand, continued the tradition of Viennese classicism, on the other depicted features of the new romantic art.  From classicism in the works of Beethoven upland content, excellent possession musical forms, genres appeal to the symphonies and sonatas.  From Romanticism is depicted bold experimentation in the field of these genres, the interest in vocal and piano miniatures. According to Peter J.  Davies (2002), Ludwig van Beethoven was born in Bonn (Germany) in a family court musician.  He began studying music since childhood under the guidance of his father.  However, the present mentor, Beethoven was a composer, conductor and organist.  He taught the young musician of composition, taught to play the clavier and organ.  With eleven years of Beethoven served as assistant organist at the church, then the court organist, accompanist to the opera house in Bonn.  At eighteen he entered the University of Bonn in the Department of Philosophy, but did not finish it. In 1792,  Beethoven moved to Vienna.  He took music lessons from Haydn, Albrechtsberger, Salieri (the biggest musicians of the era). Beethoven soon began giving concerts, became popular.  He wrote a lot: he wrote sonatas, concertos for piano and orchestra, symphonies. For a long time, no one guessed that Beethoven was struck with a serious illness he began losing hearing.  Convinced of the incurable illness, the composer decided to retire from life and in 1802  prepared a will, which explained the reasons for his decision. However, Beethoven was able to overcome despair and found the strength to write music on.  Exit from the crisis was the third (Eroica) Symphony. In 1803-1808  composer also worked on the creation of the sonatas, in particular the Ninth for violin and piano (1803), Twenty-Three for piano, Fifth and Sixth Symphonies (both of 1808). Sixth (Pastoral) Symphony is subtitled Memoirs of rural life.  This work paints a different state of the human soul, suspended for the time of the inner experiences and struggles.  It was symphony of the feelings arising from contact with the natural world and rural life.  Its unusual structure had five parts instead of four.  In the symphony there are elements of fine art, onomatopoeia (birds singing, thunder, etc.).  Beethovens findings were subsequently used by many Romantic composers. Premiere of the symphony took place in 1825  at the Vienna Opera House.  To implement the authors intention theater orchestra was not enough, we had to invite fans: Twenty-four violins, ten violas, twelve cellos and basses.  For the Viennese classical orchestra, such a train, it was unusually powerful.  In addition, each choir parts (bass, tenor, alto and soprano) include twenty four singers, which also exceeded the conventional norm. During the life of Beethovens Ninth Symphony for many remains unclear, she admired only by those who knew him closely the composer and his students and educated in music listeners.  Over time, the symphony began to include in its repertoire the best orchestras of the world, and it has found new life. According to Peter J.  Davies (2002), Works of the late period was characterized by restraint of the senses and the philosophical depth that distinguishes them from the passionate and dramatic early writings.  During his life, Beethoven wrote 9 symphonies, 32 sonatas, 16 string quartets, the opera Fidelio, Missa Solemnis, 5 piano concertos and one for violin and orchestra, the overture, the individual pieces for different instruments. Surprisingly, many works (including the Ninth Symphony), the composer wrote when he was already completely deaf.  However, his recent works sonatas for piano and the quartet are great masterpieces of chamber music. Thus, I would like to say that Beethoven and Mozart affected classical music dramatically. It is difficult to overestimate their contribution and influence on the development of classical music.  Masters of this style sought to clear and strict forms, harmonious patterns, and the embodiment of high moral ideals. Higher, the finest examples of art works they considered an ancient art, so that worked out ancient stories and images. Vertex in the development of musical classicism was the work of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Ludwig van Beethoven, who worked mainly in Vienna and formed a line in the musical culture of the second half of XVIII early XIX century the Viennese Classical School. The composers of the Viennese classical school have created a very harmonious and logical system of rules of construction works.  Thanks to this system, the most complex feelings donned in a clear and perfect form.  Suffering and joy have become the subject of reflection for the composer, rather than experience.  The art of the Viennese classics has great value and artistic significance for all mankind.

Stop Smoking Right Now

Diamanta Stop Smoking Right Now Do you know every 10 seconds someone dies from smoking related diseases? There are many people who have smoking habit nowadays, and the age of first time smokers is getting lower in Taiwan. People start smoking for many different reasons, some think smoking lets them feel relaxed, some think smoking looks cool, and others may just want to try. However, when people start smoking, it will be hard to stop because cigarette contains tobacco which makes them become addicted.These smokers enjoy smoking every day, but they seem to not know that smoking causes so many problems which not only concern themselves, but also other non-smokers. In my opinion, people should give up smoking right now because smoking affects their interpersonal relationship, does harm to human health, and brings secondhand smoke. For one thing, smoking concerns smokers’ interpersonal relationship. When people are smoking, most non-smokers dislike the smell of cigarette. In fact, this irritant smell will cling to smokers for a long time, including their hair, body, and clothes.Moreover, smokers’ breath always reeks of cigarettes, and it is also hard to be removed. Actually, it is very impolite and offensive to talk with others with the stale cigarette smoke. On the other hand, smokers’ teeth will become yellow if they smoke too much. Expect the smell of cigarettes; unclean teeth also give others a bad impression. In short, smokers should try to be considerate to others’ feeling, especially when they are in public. Second, smoking influences on human health. Smoking can seriously damage human body, and it is considered to a health killer.Actually, the most serious problem is studies have confirmed that smoking causes various kinds of cancer, including cancers of nose, mouth, throat, and lung. The more cigarettes a person smoked each day, the more risk of cancer increases. However, heart disease also relative to smoking. Heart disease is the leading cause of death today, and there are a large number of people who die from heart problems because they smoke heavily. Another bad effect of smoking is aging of the skin. Smoking consumes Vitamin A in the skin and cause wrinkles, especially around the lips and the eyes.On the other hand, pregnant women also should not smoke. A pregnant woman who has smoking habit also influences on the  unborn baby, and it may cause her baby born too early or with low birth weight. To sum up, smoking really causes a variety of bad effects on human body. Finally, smoking makes secondhand smoke. Secondhand smoke is also called environmental tobacco smoke. In fact, Secondhand smoke is the smoke that comes from the burning end of a cigarette and the smoke exhaled out by the smoker. When people stand near a smoker, they breathe secondhand smoke. However, many people still do not realize the dangers of secondhand smoke.Actually, secondhand smoke also affects non-smokers, and it is very harmful to human body. Secondhand smoke has more than 50 chemicals that cause lung and breathing problems, including coughing, hard to breathe, moreover, it is possible that it causes lung cancer even people do not smoke. In addition, according to the researches, secondhand smoke increases the risk of heart disease by 15 to 20 percent. In Taiwan, secondhand smoke cause about 20,000 of the deaths of heart disease each year. As a result, everyone should keep away from smokers because secondhand smoke is dangerous.In conclusion, smoking is against social politeness, causes damage to both smokers’ and non-smokers’ health, and makes terrible secondhand smoke. Smoking really does not bring any benefit, so people should not smoke or buy cigarettes anymore. I think smokers must realize that not just their health will be affected; everyone around them is also influenced by their bad habit. For staying in good physical condition, smokers should consider to take steps towards quitting s moking from now. Staying smoke free let people keep healthy, get more energy, and live a better life.

Oil & Gas Conservation FortnightIn order to generate awareness among the masses about the urgency of conserving petroleum products, the celebration of oil conservat ion week with the participation of PCRA and the entire oil industry under the guidance of the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas was started in year 1991. Considering the over whelming response and enthusiasm generated by OCW in the entire country, and to further increase the reach as well as effectiveness of the oil conservation campaign the duration of the program was increased to a fortnight from the year 1997 onwards.The eco-friendliness of natural gas stands etablished beyond doubt and it is being used in progressively large volumes by Power, Fertilizer, Industrial, Commercial, D omestic and Transport sectors. As the demand is increasing, there is large scope for gas conservation. Keeping this in view, the national fortnightly conservation campaign has been renamed as â€Å"Oil & Gas Conservation Fortnight† in place of Oil Conservation Fortnight (OCF) since 2004.During the fortnight the entire oil industry under the guidance of MOP&NG undertakes various kinds of activities to emphasize the need and importance of conservation of petroleum products & environment protection.

Petroleum has brought enumerable benefits to human civilization; quality of life and dynamic prosperity is fueled by this precious, miraculous resource. Petroleum is the lifeline of modern civilization.It is the source of energy for agricultural, industrial and transport sectors and keeps the wheel of other essential industries moving. In fact, there is no conceivable area where energy does not pla y its vital role. Petroleum currently provides 90 per cent of energy used for transportation, and while its benefits are astounding, the use of petroleum-based technologies also has cost. The environmental impacts associated with extracting and transporting petroleum remain a major issue, as the extraction of petroleum can affect fragile ecosystems.However, oil companies continue to develop new techniques and enhanced recovery methods, which reduce the footprint of drilling equipment and the amount of land affected. Perhaps the m «st serious concern, the combustion of fossil fuels contributes a variety of emissions to the atmosphere and releases carbon dioxide, a potent greenhouse gas. These emissions have modified atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations, which play an important role in moderating global temperatures. Therefore, there is considerable interest in reducing our reliance on petroleum-based technologies.At the time of independence, India produced crude oil from only one onshore field in Digboi, Assam. At that time, the country depended upon imports for international oil companies controlled 90 per cent of petroleum products and the industry. With Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) and Oil India Ltd. (OIL), the production today has increased to over 34 MMTPA by technology upgradation and assimilation. During this period exploration and production activity has grown in its scope and has moved from onshore to offshore.Natural Gas Corporation associated with oil production, which was flared at the well head in the earlier day, is now being harnessed and supplied for power generation to gas-based power plants, as raw material units including petrochemical industry. Natural gas production has risen from ‘nil' at the time of independence to about 29 billion cubic meters during the five decades of planned economic development and it is taken to the consumer through an extensive network of 4100 kms. Gas pipeline system Conservation Petroleum i s an exhaustible resource and the industry has been conscious of  this attribute.To promote efficient and economic uses of energy, Petroleum Conservation and Research Association (PCRA) has been functioning for last two decades. PCRA has done enormous work in mass awareness energy conservation in industrial, transport, and household and agriculture sectors through energy audits and studies and by continuously educating the users of petroleum products on importance and urgency of energy conservation. The task is enormous as it includes highly qualified engineers, drivers or automobiles, housewives and farmers.
