Part Two Chapter V

V Alison Jenkins, the columnist from the Yarvil and District Gazette, had finally settled which of the numerous Weedon families in Yarvil housed Krystal. It had been troublesome: no one was enrolled to cast a ballot at the location and no landline number was recorded for the property. Alison visited Foley Road face to face on Sunday, however Krystal was out, and Terri, dubious and adversarial, wouldn't state when she would be back or affirm that she lived there. Krystal showed up home an insignificant twenty minutes after the columnist had left in her vehicle, and she and her mom had another line. ‘Why din't ya advise her to pause? She was going to talk with me abou' the Fields a' stuff!' ‘Interview you? Fuck off. Wha' the fuck for?' The contention heightened and Krystal exited once more, off to Nikki's, with Terri's portable in her tracksuit bottoms. She much of the time snatched this telephone; numerous lines were activated by her mom requesting it back and Krystal imagining that she didn't have the foggiest idea where it was. Faintly, Krystal trusted that the columnist may know the number by one way or another and call her straightforwardly. She was in a swarmed, clattering bistro in the strip mall, informing Nikki and Leanne all regarding the columnist, when the versatile rang. †Oo? Is it true that you are the writer, as?' ‘†¦ o's ‘at †¦ ‘erri?' ‘It's Krystal. ‘Oo's this?' ‘†¦ ‘m your †¦ ‘nt †¦ other †¦ ‘ister.' †Oo?' yelled Krystal. One finger in the ear not squeezed against the telephone, she wove her way between the thickly stuffed tables to arrive at a calmer spot. ‘Danielle,' said the lady, uproarious and clear on the opposite finish of the phone. ‘I'm yer mum's sister.' ‘Oh, better believe it,' said Krystal, baffled. Fuckin' gaudy bitch, Terri consistently said when Danielle's name came up. Krystal didn't know that she had ever met Danielle. ‘It's abou' your Great Gran.' †Oo?' ‘Nana Cath,' said Danielle fretfully. Krystal arrived at the gallery sitting above the strip mall forecourt; gathering was solid here; she halted. ‘Wha's the issue with ‘er?' said Krystal. It felt just as her stomach was flipping over, the manner in which it had done as a young lady, turning somersaults on a railing like the one before her. Thirty feet beneath, the groups flooded, conveying plastic packs, pushing carriages and hauling little children. ‘She's in South West General. She's been there seven days. She's had a stroke.' ‘She's receptacle there seven days?' said Krystal, her stomach despite everything dipping. ‘Nobody let us know.' ‘Yeah, well, she can't talk prop'ly, however she's said your name twice.' ‘Mine?' asked Krystal, gripping the portable firmly. ‘Yeah. I think she'd prefer to see yeh. It's not kidding. They're sayin' she migh' not recoup.' ‘Wha' ward is it?' asked Krystal, her brain humming. ‘Twelve. High-reliance. Visiting hours are twelve till four, six till eight. All righ'?' ‘Is it †?' ‘I gotta go. I just needed to tell you, in the event that you need to see her. ‘Bye.' The line went dead. Krystal brought down the versatile from her ear, gazing at the screen. She squeezed a catch more than once with her thumb, until she saw the word ‘blocked'. Her auntie had retained her number. Krystal strolled back to Nikki and Leanne. They knew on the double that something wasn't right. ‘Go a' see ‘er,' said Nikki, checking the time on her own portable. ‘Yeh'll ge' there fer two. Ge' the transport.' ‘Yeah,' said Krystal vacantly. She thought of bringing her mom, of taking her and Robbie to take a brief trip and see Nana Cath as well, however there had been a gigantic line a year prior, and her mom and Nana Cath had no contact since. Krystal was certain that Terri would take a colossal measure of convincing to go to the clinic, and didn't know that Nana Cath would be glad to see her. It's not kidding. They're stating she probably won't recuperate. †Ave yeh gor enough money?' said Leanne, scavenging in her pockets as them three strolled up the street towards the bus station. ‘Yeah,' said Krystal, checking. ‘It's on'y a quid up the emergency clinic, innit?' They had the opportunity to share a cigarette before the number twenty-seven showed up. Nikki and Leanne waved her off just as she were heading off to some place decent. At the last possible second, Krystal felt terrified and needed to yell ‘Come with me!' But then the transport pulled away from the kerb, and Nikki and Leanne were at that point dismissing, tattling. The seat was thorny, shrouded in some old rank texture. The transport trundled onto the street that ran by the area and took a right into one of the fundamental avenues that drove through all the large name shops. Dread rippled inside Krystal's paunch like a hatchling. She had realized that Nana Cath was getting more seasoned and frailer, however by one way or another, dubiously, she had anticipated that her should recover, to come back to the prime that had appeared to keep going so long; for her hair to turn dark once more, her spine to fix and her memory to hone like her scathing tongue. She had never contemplated Nana Cath kicking the bucket, continually connecting her with durability and resistance. On the off chance that she had thought about them by any stretch of the imagination, Krystal would have thought of the distortion to Nana Cath's chest, and the multitudinous wrinkles confusing her face, as decent scars supported during her effective fight to endure. No one near Krystal had ever kicked the bucket of mature age. (Demise went to the youthful in her mom's circle, in some cases even before their countenances and bodies had gotten gaunt and desolated. The body that Krystal had found in the washroom when she was six had been of an attractive youngster, as white and flawless as a sculpture, or that was the manner by which she recalled that him. Be that as it may, once in a while she found that memory befuddling and questioned it. It was difficult to tell what to accept. She had frequently heard things as a youngster that grown-ups later repudiated and denied. She could have sworn that Terri had stated, ‘It was yer father.' But at that point, a lot later, she had stated, ‘Don' be so senseless. Yer father's not dead, ‘e's in Bristol, innee?' So Krystal had needed to attempt and reattach herself to the possibility of Banger, which was what everyone called the man they said was her dad. However, consistently, out of sight, there had been Nana Cath. She had gotten away from child care due to Nana Cath, prepared and holding up in Pagford, a solid if awkward security net. Swearing and irate, she had plunged, similarly forceful to Terri and to the social laborers, and taken her similarly furious incredible granddaughter home. Krystal didn't know whether she had cherished or loathed that little house in Hope Street. It was soiled and it resembled dye; it gave you a stitched in feeling. Simultaneously, it was protected, altogether sheltered. Nana Cath would just give affirmed people access through the entryway. There were antiquated shower 3D shapes in a glass container on the finish of the shower.) Imagine a scenario in which there were others at Nana Cath's bedside, when she arrived. She would not perceive her very own large portion family, and the possibility that she may go over outsiders attached to her by blood frightened her. Terri had a few relatives, results of her dad's different contacts, whom even Terri had never met; yet Nana Cath attempted to stay aware of all, obstinately keeping in touch with the huge disengaged family her children had created. Incidentally, throughout the years, family members Krystal didn't perceive had turned up at Nana Cath's while she was there. Krystal believed that they peered toward her suspiciously and made statements about her under their voices to Nana Cath; she claimed not to see and hung tight for them to leave, with the goal that she could have Nana Cath to herself once more. She particularly disdained the possibility that there were some other youngsters in Nana Cath's life. (†Oo are they?' Krystal had asked Nana Cath when she was nine, pointing desirously at a confined photo of two young men in Paxton High regalia on Nana Cath's sideboard. ‘Them's two o' my extraordinary grandsons,' said Nana Cath. ‘Tha's Dan and tha's Ricky. They're your cousins.' Krystal didn't need them as cousins, and she didn't need them on Nana Cath's sideboard. ‘An' who's tha'?' she requested, pointing at a young lady with wavy brilliant hair. ‘Tha's my Michael's daughter, Rhiannon, when she were five. Beau'iful, right? Bu' she wen' a' wedded some wog,' said Nana Cath. There had never been a photo of Robbie on Nana Cath's sideboard. Yeh don't have the foggiest idea who the dad is, do yeh, yer prostitute? I'm washin' my ‘ands of yeh. I've ‘ad enough, Terri, I've ‘ad it: you can take care of it yourself.) The transport trundled on through town, past all the Sunday evening customers. When Krystal had been little, Terri had brought her into the focal point of Yarvil consistently, constraining her into a pushchair long past the age when Krystal required it, since it was such a great amount of simpler to stow away scratched stuff with a pushchair, push it down under the child's legs, conceal it under the packs in the bin under the seat. At times Terri would go on couple shoplifting trips with the sister she addressed, Cheryl, who was hitched to Shane Tully. Cheryl and Terri lived four boulevards from one another in the Fields, and froze the air with their language when they contended, which was as often as possible. Krystal never knew whether she and her Tully cousins should be friendly or not, and not, at this point tried following along, however she addressed Dane at whatever point she stumbled into him. They had shagged, once, subsequent to parting a container of juice out on the rec w hen they were fourteen. Neither of them had ever referenced it a while later. Krystal was dim on whether it was lawful, doing your cousin. Something Nikki had said had made her believe that perhaps it wasn't. The transport moved up the street that prompted the fundamental passageway of South West General, and prevented twenty yards from a tremendous long rectangular dark and glass building. There were patches of flawless grass, a couple of little trees and a f

This essay will explore the value of massage in the overall management of an athlete with lateral knee pain, and a diagnosis of Ilio tibial band syndrome. It will explore the use of massage generally then focus on specific techniques used in myofascial pathologies. It will also describe the techniques employed, the clinical reasoning for their choice and the relevant supporting evidence. The relevant anatomy will be discussed as well as the proposed influences of massage on these structures using current literature to support these hypotheses. Massage has been used around the world for thousands of years for rehabilitation and relaxation (Weerapong et al, 2005). Massage is the treatment and practice of manipulation of the soft body†¦show more content†¦Distally it attaches to Gerdy’s tubercle on the anterolateral aspect of the tibia having passed over the lateral femoral condyle (Fairclough et al, 2006). Miller et al (2007) showed greater knee flexion and internal hip rotation in runners with ITBS at heel strike. Using a simple biomechanical they showed that both factors increased stress on the ITB. Biomechanical studies show that maximum compression of the ITB over the lateral femoral condyle occurs at 30 degrees flexion of the knee (Orchard, 1996) hence it has been assumed that the band actually moves over the condyle. MRI findings in a study by Nishimura et al (1997) suggest soft tissue inflammation and /or oedema rather than focal fluid collection. This study also showed no alteration to the structure of the ITB itself, and that the posterior fibres are tighter against the femur. A further study involving cadavers and MRI by Fairclough et al (2006) show ITBS is more likely to be highly innervated fat compression beneath the tract as different parts of the distal ITB come under tension- i.e. anterior and posterior sections. One of the commonly quoted conservative interventions for ITBS is massage or more precisely myofascial release techniques (Brukner and Khan, 2006; Chaitow and DeLany, 2002; Pettit and Dolski, 2000).

Camouflage Techniques Cosmetic Dermatology

Question: Discuss about the Camouflage Techniques for Cosmetic Dermatology. Answer: Introduction: Camouflage make up is defined as the powder or make up creams that is used to conceal contour or colour any abnormalities in any parts of the body that will help the person in gaining self-confidence among them. Women while disguising many non-infectious skin conditions such as rosacea, vitiligo and acne (Salsberg et al. 2016) use skin camouflage. Camouflage is a kind of concealer that are used by men and women in order to hide port wine stains, vitiligo, acne scars, etc. In the beauty sector, the camouflage concealer is used for the enhancement of beauty in women. The make-up is responsible for discovering the user about his own beauty while returning to serenity in the social life (Bouloc 2015). Patients camouflage make up in order to get rid of many defects such as smile lines, bumpy noses, wonky teeth, scarring, burns, scars of various skin diseases, stretch marks, etc. In the allied health sector, camouflage concealer is responsible for providing solution to various skin problems such as sun spots, redness, couperose, angiomas, teleangectasy, blue stains, skin dyschromia, tattoos, eye sockets,bruises, etc (Rose 2015). Ethical consideration Ethical consideration of the camouflage concealer is a vital aspect that is mandatory to maintain by the dermatologists, beauticians and other physicians. Apart from that, they are liable to provide all the details of the cost of the treatment. The procedures of the treatments along with the side effects of the treatment should be conveyed to the person (Sarkar, Sethi and Gokhale 2017). Contraindication includes many disorders such as epilepsy, skin cancer, diabetes, slipped disc, recent facial disorder, medical oedema, psychotic and nervous conditions. Contraindications that will prevent the treatment are severe eczema, viral infection, fungal infection, infestations, bacterial infection, etc. Contra-indications that will restrict the treatment are inflammation, localised swelling, bruises, fever, unknown allergies, vomiting, diarrhoea, etc. Influencing factors for the usage of camouflage concealer are hypopigmentation, unwanted tattoos, burn scars, depigmentation, port wine stains, vitiligo, age spots, leucodermas, erythrema, etc (Bouloc 2015). Medical oedema: Medical oedema is a condition that is characterised by the swelling that is caused by retention of fluid. Swelling is caused by oedema. This is the reason camouflage make up is not used by the physicians or beauticians during this medical condition. Epilepsy: Epilepsy is a disorder that is used as the hallmark of the unprovoked, recurrent seizures. It can be said that human brain is responsible for human epilepsy. Epilepsy can also be defined as a neurological disorder where the brain gets disrupted causing various symptoms to the patient. However, during the condition of epilepsy, camouflage makeup cannot be used. Facial surgery: Facial surgeries can be occurred by any time due to many causes such as accidents, burn outs, etc, the skin gets sensitive in nature. The diseases is related to the face, neck, head, jaws, or in the maxillofacial region. In this delicate condition, camouflage make up is not used. Diabetes: Diabetes is a medical condition that is caused due to metabolic diseases causing a prolonged high blood sugar level. In this condition, camouflage make up can not be applied to the patient. Slipped disc: Slipped disc is a nervous disorder that can cause to the numbness or weakness to the spinal cord. Colour matching Colour matching is the main objective of doing the treatment of camouflage make up while hiding skin deformities. It can be defined as the theory of highlighting. The physicians use highlighters in order to hide the unwanted pigmentation. For instance, concealers are used in the complementary colour that is present in the opposite side of the colour wheel. For grey tone, pink concealers are used to the people (Rose 2015). Products and equipments There are different equipments and products that are essential for providing camouflage make up are magnifying lamp, robe, mixing pallete, mirror, sterilising solution, gloves, brushes, etc. Apart from the above equipments, there are other equipments such as concealer, foundation, face powder, make up remover, cleanser, chemical immersion equipment, etc. are used to apply camouflage make up in the skin (Filinte and Akz 2014). The aspect of quality and limitations are important in this perspective in order to apply the treatment procedures to the people. It can be said that, people are paying a lot amount of money to cover their skin deformities and pigmentation for various purposes. The limitations of the usage of these creams and powders are applied to patients before the final implementation (Ramien et al. 2014). Behavioural expectations Behavioural expectations of the treatment of camouflage concealer encompass the behaviour of the general physicians and beauticians towards the patient. Some practices are considered as ethical both towards practicing the business and towards the patients who are willing to avail the services of the centre. The patients are related to the using of the products (Patel 2015). Hygienic and safe working practices are the main constraint of the general physicians who are responsible for providing the treatment to the patients. The hygienic work practices uses various products and equipments for maintaining safety and hygiene to the patient and less spread of diseases are UV cabinet, autoclave, chemical immersion, disposable syringe, disposable face mask, etc (Padilla-Espaa et al. 2014). Record keeping is an important perspective that is to be kept by the different workplaces. Each and every personal details of the patient are required to proceed with the treatment using perfect shades of camouflage in hiding the pigmentation of the skin of the person. Data regarding treatment of the patients are kept by using data protection act and client record cards. References Bouloc, A., 2015.

The Problem of Anorexia in Modern American Society

Modern American society has faced a really severe problem of eating disorders which are mainly caused by Hollywood ideals of â€Å"beauty†. Nowadays more than 24 million Americans suffer from anorexia which leads to many fatal outcomes. However, in spite of frightening statistics, nowadays many sufferers have a good chance to recover due to increasing number of programs and campaigns aimed at overcoming this disease.Advertising We will write a custom report sample on The Problem of Anorexia in Modern American Society specifically for you for only $16.05 $11/page Learn More According to First et al. (2004) anorexia is â€Å"the refusal to maintain normal body weight, which is related to an extreme fear of becoming fat† (First et al., 2004, p.316). It has been suggested that this eating disorder prevails in the industrial countries where much attention is paid to thinness, thus, it is caused mainly by social and cultural reasons (First et al. , 2004, p.315). It is necessary to point out that this disorder leads to some severe complications, causing heart and kidneys diseases, blood pressure diseases, headaches, osteoporosis, depression and many others physical and mental disorders (â€Å"Eating Disorders Mirror Mirror,† n.d.). Admittedly, anorexia affects greatly sufferers’ personal and social life. These people show low activity in work, education, etc. and due to the high comorbidity of this disease they are usually weak and frustrated (â€Å"Eating Disorders Coalition,† n.d.). Such people are preoccupied with their weight and do not try to participate social life. According to the National Eating Disorders Association Statistics 10 million American females suffer from anorexia (â€Å"NEDA,† n.d.). It is necessary to add that the average adolescent age is about 15 years old (â€Å"The Renfrew Centre Foundation,† n.d.). Reportedly, 40% of cases identified in 2003 were in girls aged fro m 15 to 19 years old. As far as ethnicity of sufferers is concerned, it is necessary to point out that more than 90% of cases are Caucasians, about 2.7% – Hispanic people, and the rest of cases of anorexia are identified in people of other ethnicity (â€Å"The Renfrew Centre Foundation,† n.d.). Besides, more than 60% of such cases are traced in single people (â€Å"The Renfrew Centre Foundation,† n.d.). Admittedly, many people suffering eating disorders do not get the appropriate mental and medical care (â€Å"The Alliance for Eating Disorders Awareness,† n.d.). However, in recent years different non-governmental organization started paying a lot of attention to the problem. Thus, there are many centers which help people suffering from eating disorders.Advertising Looking for report on health medicine? Let's see if we can help you! Get your first paper with 15% OFF Learn More Many of them offer different programs of effective mental care wh ich enable people to become committed to overcome the problem (â€Å"Monte Nido,† n.d.). Fortunately, there are many centers which offer full-time treatment, others invite people for meetings aimed at discussion and overcoming the problem. Many conferences are launched for therapists to share their experience and find new ways of helping anorexia sufferers (â€Å"Eating Disorders Coalition,† n.d.). In fact, at the moment many sufferers can find the professional help on the Internet. However, the main reason of low mental care is caused by ethical issues since far from all eating disorders sufferers admit that they need help. Thus, it is possible to conclude that anorexia, being a very severe kind of eating disorders which often leads to fatal outcome, is widely spread throughout the USA, affecting, in the majority of cases, young female. However, recently an increasing number of programs and campaigns aimed at overcoming this problem are being launched. Fortunately, th is positive trend is likely to maintain in future.

Firestone Corporation essays

Firestone Corporation essays This work will attempt to address corporate social responsibility and the actions of Firestone, with regard to recent ethically questionable decisions. The work will touch on the most recent recall and eventual reparations awarded injured parties as a result of Firestone tire failure. The work will also identify the key ingredients that make such a failing possible in the long term through a look at the source of ethical (or unethical) decisions making. The core of the problem, according to many experts and by this writer is that profit is valued above safety and that the corporate climate as well as it support networks, such as law and education value secrecy rather than full disclosure when the potential for profit loss is projected. Scientists, CEOs and even line workers are implored to remain silent through overt and subtle coercion, even when they are aware of safety concerns and industry relies heavily on the time lag between the introduction of a potentially unsafe product and the time it takes to begin to restrict its use to safe practices or eliminate it altogether. It is difficult to imagine a socially aware individual being against corporate social responsibility, though many actions taken by individuals and corporate entities prove that the profit margin dictates the decisions made, even if this means practicing business in a socially irresponsible manner. (Berkhout, 2005, pg. 15) Such as in the case of the Bridgestone/Firestone, when dangerous products manufactured and sold by them caused deaths and permanent injury to many people, when they purchased the Ford Explorer new, with presumably new tires and then those products failed and caused serious accidents. In 2001, Bridgestone/Firestone and the Ford Motor Company apologized to consumers for a pattern of deadly tire failures, while blaming each other for the debacle. 9 Once again, major corporations are enveloped in ethics scandals that are generating new trem...

The recent economic conditions have compounded the pressure. Coupled with this regulatory pressure from government and the consolidation of sub contractors, the climate has inevitably led to much stiffer competition. Within this novel sphere, many organisations are struggling to manage the costs and differentiate themselves from the competition. NEED FOR CHANGE Change is defined by Macmillan (2007, p.237) as â€Å"a situation in which something becomes different or you make something different. † Change occurs in any business on a daily basis, but often a time comes when a planned change is needed to cope with shifts in the industry. Planned organisational change occurs when a company is making a transition from its current state to a desired future state. Managing the organisational change can be characterised as the process of planning and then implementing change in organisations in a way as to minimise the

Business Policy - Case Study Example ort tries to identify the challenging environment that the company is facing in its operating environment in the recent months, along with that it gives an outline about the future strategic directions that the company might pursue. The report is based on three principal issues -1) The External Environment Analysis, 2) The Internal Capability Analysis, 3) Recommendation and Conclusion. According to the International Air Transport Association, the industry lost up to $8 billion in 2008 which is even greater than what was forecasted previously. The report uses a PESTEL analysis (See PESTEL Analysis: Appendix D) to scan the external environmental structure of the company. The business cycle of British Airways includes several parameters. This is due to the fact that airline industry is characterized by longer business cycle resulting from the lower profitability and for the lower shareholder returns. (Liehr, Nd, page 1). The marketing environment is constantly changing and with every change in the last few years airlines industry is being affected. The demand for the airline industry is highly income elastic. (â€Å"An analysis of British Airways Marketing Environment†, 2008) Thus the rise in the fuel prices last year and recent economic turmoil has affected the airlines industry in huge way as the passengers are avoiding more expensive air travels. According to a report by Air Transport association of America, the revenue generated from passenger travels for all airlines fell by 19 % during the month of February, 2009 when compared to February 2008. This is the forth consecutive month where loss is being recorded. The business sector, hit badly by the economic crisis are cutting back on their airline trips. British airways having ten flights operating daily between London and New York is among the worst hit. (â€Å"Lucrative Business class air travel hit by crisis†, 2009) The company saw a decline in 8.6 percent in premium traffic and 4.1 percent in non premium.

The Integrative Nature of Psychology and Music Essay Example for Free

The Integrative Nature of Psychology and Music Essay Creativity, while it is recognized and valued by many, means different things to different people.   Artists, musicians, and poets are considered to be creative individuals because their products are creative.   Art works are valued for their novelty, beauty, uniqueness, and a host of other qualities that are considered to reflect creativity.   Scientists who discover a new medicine or cure are considered creative.   Young children who have created a finger painting or a poem are praised for their creativity.   Often proud parents will even excuse perverse behavior traits in their offspring by saying, â€Å"he is just being ‘creative’. †Ã‚   Creativity is a part of everyday life as much as eating is.   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   However, creativity is a concept that is difficult to define with specific measures and parameters.   For the purposes of this discussion, the author provides theories on creativity in terms of psychological concepts.   Freud’s (1952) psychoanalytic technique seems to be the prerogatives of art.   The creation of a meaning for a patient’s random acts resembles literary creation.   In both psychiatric interpretation and artistic creativity meaning does not emerge fully clothed out of the raw material of incident and language.   Rather, from a first experience significance is gradually inferred and elaborated by a process of free association.   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   What links psychoanalysis and creativity is the notion of symbolic function.   Ricouer (1970) speaks of the symbolic function as meaning something other than what is said and therefore he defines a symbol as â€Å"a double meaning linguistic expression that requires an interpretation† (p. 9).   An interpretation is seen as a work of understanding that aims at deciphering symbols. Psychoanalysis is first and foremost a form of interpretation, hermeneutic that arrives at an understanding of the facts of mental life by regarding both dreams and neurotic symptoms as symbols to be analyzed.   Freud’s interpretation of dreams reveals the dynamics of the mental processes, the â€Å"strategies of man’s deepest desires and instincts†, and provides the paradigm for the analysis of all men’s cultural activities (Ricoeur, 1970, p. 162).   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   For Freud the dream symbolism is not merely one device of the dreamwork; but rather provides the dreamwork with the material for condensation, displacement and dramatization.   These devices then, are all methods of disguise clothing the unconscious symbolic meaning.   This universal symbolism is not limited to dreams, but is to be found in fairy-tales, myths, legends, folklore, and also underlies all art, including music.   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   According to Dalhaus (1978), absolute music is historically rooted in the idea of an unspeakable sublime, in the idea that â€Å"music expresses that words are not even capable of stammering† (p. 63).   As a performer, composing or listening to some Western music is an experience of the sublime.   As with Freud’s dream symbolism, every music symbolizes something that requires interpretation.   Music, through which some of feelings of the musicians are expresses, is essentially a system of symbols.   Each symbol is equivalent to an event or an object; when these symbols are put together they give us a kind of an interpretation of the world. According to Langer (1957), the world of sentiments and emotions could also be expressed in a symbolic manner.   Music is, therefore, an alternative means of symbolic expression.   Elements of music, just as with dreams, do not contain in themselves fixed references to things, but rather a flexible system of symbols capable of expressing various complex feelings.   Through music, a composer can express ambivalent and contradictory feelings simultaneously.   With dreams which, as Freud explains, are disguised fulfillment of repressed wishes or desires of the dreamer.   Since the instincts hide themselves in dreams, interpretation is necessary to reveal them.   The same thing is true with music.   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   To illustrate this, Kivy (1991) Bach’s Prelude in C Minor from the first book of the Well-Tempered Clavier.   In referring to this piece he gives an â€Å"autumnal† interpretation, â€Å"the rustling sixteenth-notes figure, in both the right and left hands, that pervades the entire piece, represents the rustling of the dry autumn leaves in the cold October wind† (p. 206-207).   What is relevant is the meaning of the listener fins departing from musical experience and musical analysis.   Or at least that is what the listener thinks he does.   Perhaps this is the point which Kivy describes when the listener who obtains pleasure from absolute music without needing free associations.   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   On the most basic level, the interpretation of art is analogous to the interpretation of dreams, for art is based on the same universal symbolism of the unconscious.   The first assumption of a Freudian aesthetic then is that it is possible to analyze a work of art in order to reveal its hidden motivations in the same way as we unlock the secrets of the dream.   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   Weiss has extended and placed more emphasis on Freud’s analysis of the condensation of psychic energy that gives a minimum of pleasure in wit, and discovered that the spectator gets pleasure, at least in regarding a painting, from two kinds of perceptual economies, one quantitative and one qualitative.   The pleasure of perceptual economy which form affords is the pleasure of overcoming repression of archaic visual modes by sharing in the artist’s childish and primitive visualization (Shapiro, 1966).   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   However, this pleasure does have the more noteworthy effect of contributing, in the form of a bonus, to the erotic, aggressive and cynical tendencies of the mind.   That is, the technique of wit, the use of puns, strange and funny combinations and the like, seduces us to enjoy those sadistic or obscene tendencies whose expression would repel us if it were not combined with the skillful technical creation of the joke itself.   In the same way, all the aesthetic pleasure we gain from the work of the imaginative writer is of the same type as this ‘forepleasure’.   Therefore, the true enjoyment of art proceeds from the release of unconscious tensions in our minds.   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   According to Freud (1958), †¦the capacity of certain art forms to express and elicit emotions directly, that is, without reference to representational or symbolic images of drive related objects.   This is expressed in the idea that art forms are isometric with the forms of feeling and mood. (p. 11) According to this view, significant content could include those art elements and forms capable of effecting instinctual discharge through the relatively immediate arousal of affective states.   This seems to be particularly true of music.   The question – whether is it the work or the emotions the work arouses in us that conveys the powerful meaning of music – by saying that our emotions by themselves are the result of our interaction with the music.   They are the byproduct of the musical experience.   Music seems to create similar emotions and furthermore a similar meaning for different people.   People can all have different ways to express our subjective feelings and meanings of the music but at the same time relate to an object that has its own characteristics. Another such psychological concept is the psychology of perception.   The most influential theory of perception in the first half of the twentieth century was developed by the gestalt psychologists Kohler and Koffka.   In a series of experiments, they were able to demonstrate that inherent in the process of seeing is a natural tendency to bisect the visual field into two distinct areas, a significant figure and an insignificant ground.   They also maintained that it is impossible to hold within a single sweep of vision figure and ground simultaneously, focusing on one automatically excludes the other.    Even when perceiving the famous Rubin profiles, a series of diagram whose meaning is ambiguous because figure and ground are equally significant, attention is forced to centre on either the figure, so that a certain diagram will appear as the outline of two vases, or on the ground, in which case the same diagram appears as two faces in profile.   The apparent ambiguity in these visual counterchanges arises from the fact that either the figure or ground represents a coherent object but attention cannot perceive both meaning at the same time.   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   This mutually exclusive, ‘either-or’ structure of attention is found in aural phenomena as well, particularly in the perception of music in which a clear melodic line is distinguished from the harmonic matrix of chords in which it is situated.   Finally, the significant figures or forms spotlighted by attention tend to possess the properties of simplicity, wholeness, and coherence while at the same time eliminating any vague, incoherent or inarticulate structures from our perception (Ehrenzweig, 1965).   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   Through the study of philosophers, theorists, and musicians, aesthetics is no longer simply a â€Å"theory of nice feelings† (as Hegel put it) but a complex philosophy of art: it involves interpretation, criticism and reflection upon works of art.   A work of art, such as a symphony, has an existence, a history and a place that constitute it as the object of the aesthetic experience.   Having said that, psychoanalysis presents a new way of looking at things – not only at music or art.   It is in this way the departure point for an aesthetic revolution, in the sense of a new treatment of what we hear (and see) in the world.   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   Musical works have represented an enormous value for each culture.   In psychoanalytic terms we can say that music generates a jouissance, which for many musicians and non-musicians alike becomes on occasion an experience of the sublime.

Biography Of Karl Marx :: essays research papers

Karl Heinrich Marx was born on May 5, 1818, in the city of Trier in the Rhine province of Prussia, now in Germany. Marx was an economic theorist who composed the idea of communism which included the idea of all the people owning all the property and infrastructure. These theories played a large role in international politics and the cold war in the mid to late 20th century. Marx was the oldest surviving boy of nine children. (Perhaps this is where his theory on equality of resources began. Competing with eight brothers and sisters for attention would have seen an unequal distribution of the parent’s resources to the children) His mother, born Henrietta Pressburg, was from Holland. Both parents were Jewish and were descended from a long line of rabbis, but, a year or so before Karl was born, his father--probably because his professional career required it--was baptized in the Evangelical Established Church. Karl was baptized when he was six years old. Even though Karl was baptized as a youth he still faced discrimination because of his Jewish background. (Marx may have seen from this discrimination that religion wasn’t necessary and was “ the opium of the masses) In October 1835 Marx matriculated at the University of Bonn. The courses he attended were exclusively in the humanities, in subjects such as Greek and Roman mythology and the history of art. He participated in the usual student activities got involved in a fight and spent a day in jail for being drunk and disorderly. Mark left the University and enrolled at the Berlin University to start a law degree. Here Marx joined a Hegelian club these clubs followed the teachings of a philosopher called Hegel. The club denounced religion particularly Christianity. In January 1842 Marx began contributing to a newspaper newly founded in Cologne, the Rheinische Zeitung. It was the liberal democratic organ of a group of young merchants, bankers, and industrialists. By October 1842 Marx became editor of the newspaper. Marx built up the circulation and began writing controversial editorials. Eventually the Prussian authorities suspended production of the newspaper because it was seen as being too controversial. In June 1843 Marx married his fiancà ©e of seven years, Jenny von Westphalen. They moved to Paris which was at the time the centre of socialist thought. Marx met his life long buddy Frederich Engels here and they wrote the French – German yearbook.

Boeing 777 Finance Case Study Essay

Boeing is currently operating with the majority market share of the commercial sector of aircraft manufacturing. Frank Shrontz, our CEO, has recently stated his goal to increase the company’s return on equity from its current average of 12%. The following summary will delve into the most appealing project for the future of this firm: the 777 aircraft. The purpose of this new product is to maintain our competitive advantage in commercial airline production by completing a family of Boeing airplanes. The following net present value analysis will be used to determine the potential profitability of the 777 project. Our analysts concluded that a levered equity beta of 1.2939 was appropriate for the commercial division of Boeing. The levered equity beta was important to use due to its representation of the capital structure of Boeing and its value to the WACC calculation. This equity beta was calculated by removing the financial risk of four similar defense-oriented benchmark companies (over half of all revenues from their respective defense divisions). The Value Line betas of Lockheed, Northrop, Grumman, and McDonnell-Douglas were unlevered using the following formula U = (L) / (1+(1-t)(D/E)). The betas of these firms are important because by using the pure play approach, we can calculate an accurate equity beta for Boeing. Several adjustments must be made however, and those are discussed in the remainder of this paragraph. Once averaged, the Value Line betas equaled 0.4758. The next step required unlevering the total Boeing beta, which was found at 1.00. The formula used to unlever Boeing’s beta U = (1.00) / (1+(.66*.018)) = 0.9883. With the two betas we have calculated, Boeing’s unlevered commercial beta could be found. We found that the percentage of revenues derived from the defense division was 26%. The following formula provided the answer to Boeing’s commercial beta: U = (U-Boeing – (% defense)(U-Defense)) / (%commercial) = (0.9883 – (.26*.4758))/(.74) = 1.1683. After obtaining the unlevered commercial beta, our analysts then levered it by using the debt to equity ratio of 14%. The D/E ratio of 14% was chosen over the current 4% D/E ratio due to the additional financing needs in the future if the project were accepted. This yielded a levered equity commercial beta of 1.2939. The cost of equity of the project was then found using the equation: RE = rf + (market risk premium). Our team of analysts chose to use the long-term yield on treasury bonds in 1990 (8.82%) because it was similar to our investment horizon. The market risk premium is 5.4%. When these values are plugged into the previously stated SML equation, the cost of equity is (0.0882 + 1.2939*(.054)) = 15.81%. The return on equity for all-equity financing would be 15.13%. The only difference in the formula would be the use of the unlevered commercial beta 1.1683 instead of the levered commercial beta of 1.2939. This discrepancy between the two RE calculations makes sense because levering up increases the cost of equity. The weighted average cost of capital is then calculated with this equation: WACC = [RD * (1-t) * WD] + (RE * WE). The only new unknown is the cost of debt, which was 9.73%. The average yield to maturity of a AA-rated debt with 5 years to maturity is 9.73%–the cost of debt used in our analysts’ WACC calculation. Furthermore, a 34% tax rate and 14% weight of debt were used. WACC = [9.73% * 0.66 * 0.14] + (15.81% * 0.86) = 14.49% With all of the pieces of information our analysts gathered, the net present value (NPV) of all future cash flows could be found. Boeing has estimated the selling price of each 777 will be $130 million and includes adjustments for inflation over the time horizon of the project. After calculating the NPV over the 35-year project horizon, our analysts found it to be $1,736.34 million. Against our hurdle rate, the Boeing 777 project is very attractive. The key to this project being economically attractive is that the return outperforms inflation to provide real value to the firm. The sensitivity analysis provided reveals several gambles made by Boeing. They include the use of the highest estimated selling price per plane, units per year, rate of price increases, and market size among others. Even with all of the risks and estimations, Boeing should launch the 777 in October 1990 because the firm must not only stay competitive but keep their market share in the future. While the 777 project represents a huge risk with high levels of capital, it is a necessary risk since other firms are also completing their full product lines of airplanes. Also, the introduction of a derivative after 10 years and reduction in R&D costs could provide additional sales revenue and further affect the NPV of the project. While this project was certainly a gamble for Boeing in 1990, hindsight shows they made the right decision in creating the new 777. In October of 1990, right after the project was implemented, United Airlines placed a $28 billion order therefore â€Å"cementing the program Boeing was close to scrapping.† By March of 1994 they were already loaded down with 147 firm orders and 108 options with expectations of quickly increasing numbers. In June of 2008 it became evident that this aircraft had the differentiating ability to beat out its competitors. Headlines read â€Å"Boeing under intense pressure to increase production of top-selling fuel thrifty 777-300 ER†¦as airlines struggle with the soaring price of fuel.† In November of 2007 production of the 777 was sold out through 2012 and just 6 months later all remaining 2012 and 2013 slots were filled; the next available date for a new order was in 2014. Boeing officials stated they were â€Å"experiencing unprecedented demand† and were â€Å"producing at a rate of 7 [aircraft] monthly.† In November of 2011 the 777 became one of Boeing’s best-selling models, and on March 5, 2012 United Arab Emirates, the largest operator of the 777 with a fleet of 102, purchased Boeing’s 1000th 777, surpassing the numbers they forecast back in 1990.

Race And Ethnic Stratification Research Paper - 2992 Words

Essay 2: Race and Ethnic Stratification Research Paper In 1957, Malaysia became an independent country and in 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act. Within seven years, the two countries underwent critical transformations from a history of systematic oppression to new freedoms. Both the United States and Malaysia are comprised of multiple ethnicities, races, and dynamics that define their social and economic relationships. Because of the timing of social and economic change, residual effects of oppression influence the ability of both countries to lessen racial and ethnic inequalities. However, similarities between racial and ethnic dynamics in the two countries end there. After independence, Malaysian society was able to progress in a way that significantly reduced socioeconomic stratification, while in the U.S., the progress was less notable. Much of this discrepancy is due to the differences between ethnicity and race: in Malaysia, ethnic differences are complex and subtle, making them easier to ignore or forg et; in the U.S., racial distinctions are often as clear and rigid as the difference between black and white, making significant and lasting progress more difficult to achieve. A number of reasons for this contrast between Malaysia and the U.S. will be discussed. For one thing, the conditions succeeding from the U.S. racial climate did not favor African Americans in terms of employment and status, whereas in Malaysia, independence had aShow MoreRelatedTopic .
