I agree with the author’s explicit stance that competence and professionalism are unrelated features. However, I do not support the author’s implicit opinion that disregards competence as an essential contributor to professional success. Stark (2015) claimed that all of us know someone who lost his job due to lack of professionalism. I consider this as the author’s attempt to vitiate the importance of competence for success in any occupation. Undoubtedly, if a person lacks competency required for a particular job, then he will either not be hired or soon be fired. Therefore, being competent is a ...

Tennyson, “The Eagle”. Discussion Question: How is the solitary eagle’s strength emphasized in the first stanza? Does the reader “join” the eagle in the second stanza? How or how not? The reader joins the eagle in his dive in the second stanza through the metaphorical comparison with a thunderbolt. Captivated by the bird’s masterful and exact description in the first part of the poem, the reader has no choice but to follow the eagle’s majestic fall towards the water. This is also achieved by the personification of the predator, as the author uses pronouns “he”, and “ ...

[Assignment]

For those accustomed to reading modern dramas, Kalidasa’s Sankuntala and the Ring of Recollection is both familiar and strange. In terms of format, the general arrangement of dialogue interspersed with stage directions is the same in plays from the modern era; the nature of the stage directions, which use miming actions instead of utilizing set pieces and props, seems strange to modern sensibilities, as does the prologue, which breaks the fourth wall and has the director addressing the audience directly as an introduction to the play. In the content of Sankuntala, even more is unfamiliar. This is ...

Introduction

The oil and gas industry in North America is currently experiencing challenges and transition stage. The increasing need for the environment-friendly and sustainable forms of energy is affecting the industry negatively as more governments and companies are encouraged to use energy with no or low carbon emission.

The development of modern war tactic methods such as the use of chemical weapons, and long-range ballistic missiles among others, are all signs that army forces must be ready to fight and win wars in complex environments and under ...

Dear Editor,

I am a regular reader of National Geographic magazine, and I am writing this letter to express my praise for including articles related to animal behavior. I was excited to read the article, “Why an Eagle Really Grabbed a Kid” by Rachel Becker, published on 12/7/2016. It was about a wedge tailed eagle swooping down to prey on a young boy, at the Alice Springs Desert Park in Australia’s Northern Territory. It was an interesting event and I wished the author provided a more elaborate account of the events, rather than passing around what is already known from ...

PART A: Arguments for and against the auditors insisting that MPS should begin expensing some parts of the construction costs instead of accumulating the increasing asset.

In proactive planning, desired future is designed earlier enough. Ways through which the set goal can be achieved is then invented.

Identification of opportunities and looking for the best way to exploit that opportunity is what proactive plan is all about. It involves taking ...

Holograms

I still remember the first time I saw a hologram. One could feel the energy change in the crowd.

Step 3-Some of my friends are invisible, but profoundly helpful and inspiring. They are challenges, opportunities, responsibilities and targets that excite me a lot. I use them as scales, with which, I measure my confidence ...

Introduction

A mineral (i.e. oil and gas) interest refers to the “ownership of the right to exploit, mine, or produce minerals lying beneath the surface of a property” (Hancock 2009, p.1).

Carmel: Is it ever right then to harm another person? Say that there is a situation where a person has given his promise to protect a child from harm.

Consumer Driven Health Plans (CDHPs) are medical insurance plans which allow a person to pay for certain medical services directly, rather than pay premiums to the insurer, who in turn caters for the expenses. Basically they save the consumer from paying high premiums in a comprehensive health insurance cover (Eagle et.al., 2009). The consumer is given the option of selecting which service to pay for based on their needs (Balser Group, 2013). High Deductable Health Plans on the other hand attract low premiums but the consumer has to bare more out of pocket expenses than in conventional health insurance policies (McKenzie ...

Every single phenomenon in this world is based on the figures – either this is the simplest electronic device, or the money in a wallet, or logistics, or even a boiling kettle.

Article 1: American Society of Clinical Oncology Guidance Statement: The Cost of Cancer Care

Although the great advances made in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of cancer have significantly mitigated cancer-related mortality in the US, they have been paralleled by significant increases in the costs of cancer care. The cost of overall health care as well as cancer care in the US is growing faster than the national GDP. The spiraling of cancer care costs is in part due to high prices and rapid assimilation of novel drugs and technologies. Conventional knowledge suggests that the high prices reflect the risks and costs linked to the development, production, and sale of these new drugs ...

According to Jowett & O’Donnell (1), propaganda is a method of communication which tries to elicit a response that propagates the desired intention of the propagandist.

To study the art of propaganda as history means examining propagandist practices as distinct events and the resultant events as likely effects of propaganda. Nazi films were predominantly propagandist in that they aimed at influencing attitudes on life in a given context, and in terms of particular people and events. Perhaps the ...

Other than the increasingly stern competition, rising inputs costs and low consumer demand, the company also faces possible market saturation due to the high concentration of its own stores in the country, which will lead to market cannibalization. In order to insulate the company from the rising country-specific risks, the Chipotle management is seeking to increase its presence in Europe. Increased presence is defined to include (but is not limited to) the ...
