Questions raised by findings and/or implications for future research)  The experimenters studied how generalization training through watching videotapes could effectively accustom autistic youth into basic community tasks in real-world settings. The experimenters found that the procedure of videotape modeling and practice in a natural shopping environment was an effective way of fostering generalization in purchasing at stores in the neighborhood. The impact on future research is apparent in the loophole left by this experiment on potential sequence effects. The experimenters studied the effectiveness of…

Creative Assignment PART A This is an action film with a casual plot of four men in the fight for a dropped money. The first two men are fighting for who will take the money with him and they both end up losing the cash. When the two men still fighting, there arrive another two young men to collect the cash. One of them goes into his pocket to give the other some amount so that they can have a share on the dropped cash. They both end up happy and satisfied. The scene opens with a zoom shot focusing (Haozhang et al., 240-242) on the plants grown along the road for landscaping with a blurred view of the horizon, a gloomy sky and bird flying across it. The scene then zooms on the money that was dropped on the ground that focuses the viewer and pushes out the common way of the view of glancing at the world. The scene continues with a wide view shot (Heiderich, 53-70), two men coming from the opposite side. There is a quick…

  Both the Caliph al-Walid I and the Emperor Charlemagne reference the architecture of the past. Compare how they do this and for what purposes. Architecture development relied on the foundations designed in the past. Similarly, Caliph al-Walid and the emperor Charlemagne referenced past architecture. Caliph al-Walid built the great mosque of Damascus.  The design for this mosque was borrowed, informed by Al-Aqsa-Mosque in Jerusalem.  The Great Mosque of Damascus was set up in 706 -715 AD, while the Al-Aqsa-Mosque was set up around 20 BCE. Caliph al-Walid did not change the design of the reference Mosque.  That is, Al-Aqsa-Mosque was rectangular in shape. The same design was reflected in the Great Mosque of Damascus, which is rectangular and surrounded by a portico. The two buildings occupy large spaces, aimed at accommodating large crowds. Besides, they are the true definition of Islamic architecture.  Caliph added some details to the layout. In his architecture, the prayer hall has three aisles parallel to the qibla wall. These details were borrowed from Umayyad Mosques in Syria. Also, Caliph adopted the dome design from…

Managing Organisations in a Global Environment   Answer All FIVE (5) of the following questions. The questions come from the pre-recorded tutorial questions from Week 7 to Week 11. From Week 7 Pre Recorded Case Study (10 marks) (a) Describe rational decision making. (4 marks) Rational decision making is based on logic, objectivity, and evaluation rather than being subjective intuitive in addressing a problem or setting goals. The rational decision-making process has seven steps, which include defining the problem. The problem that needs to be addressed clearly defined. The next step is studying and brainstorming potential solutions. At his stage, finding many solutions to the challenge and listing it down is essential. Another step is setting the standards of failure and success of the probable solutions. The limits of the solutions to succeed or failed should be established to ensure working within acceptable limits. Followed by deliberating on the impacts of the solution. The effects of the solutions should be determined to prevent implementing a solution with many negative consequences. Then the selection of the best solution and testing should…

Week 2 Discussion Board Assignment While the initial gothic literature is often looked at as sensationalist literature Dependent on characters type and a repetitive plot, the later literature uses gothic of political and social issues. From the four stories, I found Susan Glaspell’s A Jury of Her Peers and Gilman’s The Yellow Paper as the stories that best exemplify the use of female gothic. In this discussion post, I will extensively examine how these two stories use female gothic as well as the other elements of gothic that are explicit through these stories. By evaluating the heroines of each story, which forms the basis of this post, there is a gendered power dynamic, which is crucial in analyzing the story’s message. Gilman’s The Yellow Wallpaper is a female gothic tale expressed through psychoanalytical and psychological imagery with a powerful feminist message. The author uses the traditional gothic literacy device of the folding mansion, the potent repressive male antagonist, and distraught heroine to explore her indictment of patriarchal marginalized women and issues of women. “…nothing was worse for a  nervous patient…

Home Equity Loan 2 A home equity loan is one that gives you the chance to borrow money against the equity of your home. The total equity of your home is determined by finding the difference between the amount that the house is worth in the market and your mortgage repayment dues. The amount that you can secure from the loan, therefore, increases as the value of your property. You can either use the money that you acquire from a home equity loan to make home improvements, pay for your child’s education, consolidate your high-interest debts, or any other need that you have. Unlike most of the other loans that you can apply for at a bank, home equity loans have less strict rules. Your home serves as the security or collateral for your home, making you less of a financial risk to the eyes of the lender. You can acquire a loan of up to 80% of the equity that you have in your home, and having higher equity makes you a more attractive candidate for the loan. Just…

HAMLET Indeed, at the end of the play, Fortinbras did claim that Hamlet “was likely, had he been put on, or to have proved most royal.” On the eve of this, he granted Hamlet soldier-like honors. I agree with this statement as Hamlet has had a long-term cushioned relationship that him. The fact that Hamlet spends his last breathes on earth in Fortinbras’s hands speaks a lot of positive credit about the cordial relationship that existed between Hamlet and Fortinbras.  However, Hamlet would not have made a good king, based on the sort of behavior that Hamlet show, especially with how he relates to Polonius’s daughter’s Ophelia.  Based on this argument, Hamlet would have been a king had Claudius not have killed his father. However, his leadership would not have led his people a better way; his throne would have had a bloody term. The fact that Horatio and Fortinbras are the sole survivors of the play reveals how the protagonist they had been to the son of the late king Hamlet. More so, they were the friends of the…

TITLE: THE STATE OF PIPELINE FROM BOREHOLES TO ELEVATED TANKS INTRODUCTION We have five boreholes that are within our interest, borehole three near the road towards crusher is not working, it used to convey water to the site camp, boreholes 4&5 near the giraffe area are conveying water to the elevated tank 2 with a 4″ PVC pipeline with small sections pf G.I in the chambers, borehole 1 conveys water to the elevated tank 1 with a 3″ PVC pipeline. Borehole 2 supplies water to the campsite with a 75mm Hdpe pipeline, and it also supplies water to the china aerospace. PIPELINES Borehole 1 The 90mm pipeline from this borehole has too many leakages (more than 10) even the excavator cannot excavate the area due to the flooded nature of the leaking points. We are not using it at this moment because we lose much water when we pump Fig 1. Damaged pipeline taking water to raised steel tanks Fig 2. Flooding due to leakages Borehole 2 The 75mm Hdpe pipeline from this borehole to the site is in good…
