Answers: 1.1 Explain why effective communication is important in developing positive relationships with children, young people and adults. Effective communication is critical to developing patterns of positive relationships with people of varied age groups. The enhancement of communication between people increases their self-disclosure that reciprocally leads to the configuration of positive motivation and hope among the individuals (Guerrero, et al., 2014, pp. 131-132). This enhancement of self-disclosure takes place gradually with consistent communication as evidenced by social penetration theory (Croucher, 2016, p. 54). The development of interpersonal relationships between individuals primarily depends on the patterns of their orientation with each other. This orientation remains superficial at the initial stage of communication; however, the exploratory phase of social penetration comes into the picture as and when individuals informally share extra information about themselves as well as their families. Furthermore, stable interchange of information between young individuals and children results in the development of healthy relationships through open communication. Evidence-based research literature advocates the contention attributing to the enhancement of psychosocial potential of young children with the development of positive relationships through effective communication (Walton Goddard, 2012, p. 140). This further leads to the enhancement of their well-being and social development. The development of positive relationships with children particularly requires the acknowledgement of their thoughts, perceptions, feelings, contentions and ideas while respecting their opinions with a positive approach. However, high level of non-verbal and verbal communication skills required for effectively understanding the thought process of people of different age groups in the context of configuring positive relationships with them across the community environment. 1.2 Explain the principles of relationship building with children, young people and adults. Principles of relationship building warrant the effective inclusion of young individuals and children in various research activities while providing them opportunities to express their views and conclusions on various societal matters (Clark, et al., 2014, pp. 70-72). The recognition of facial expressions, body language and individual gestures results in attaining insight regarding the unspoken assertions (of children and young individuals) that facilitate the process of the development of trust and empathy leading to the establishment of healthy psychosocial relationships. The evaluation of the families of children and adults helps in efficiently tracking their social environment and resilience capacity in the context of assisting the vulnerable individuals challenged with the difficult familial circumstances (DeBell, 2016, p. 124). This community assistance results in the development of dynamic relationships with the young individuals across the community environment. Treatment of individuals with respect and dignity while evaluating their expectations helps in effectively engaging them in various learning processes that reciprocally results in the development of trust with youngsters and adults (Edmond Price, 2012, pp. 146-149). This establishment of trust serves as a building block in configuring long-term relationships with the individuals. Furthermore, the organization of societal events and cultural activities and engaging the youngsters and adults in these happenings motivates them towards attaining self-development that resultantly leads to the establishment of fruitful relationships with these individuals. 1.3 Explain how different social, professional and cultural contexts may affect relationships and the way people communicate. Evidence-based research literature advocates the findings attributing to the influence of behavioural and social patterns among individuals of various age groups in the extent of their interpersonal relationships (Mikami, et al., 2010). Furthermore, the effect of the engagement of young adults with the social networking sites influences their interpersonal relationships in the context of cross-situational continuity. The positive influence of supportive comments by various peer groups through social networking improves the relationship patterns between individuals across the community environment. The profession of individuals exhibits positive and negative influences on the communication patterns and interpersonal relationships between the individuals. The individuals of various age groups while working together develop the patterns of symmetrical and complementary communication at workplace. This results in the extension of support between people; however, the differences in indivi dual values, contentions and beliefs among individuals on the other hand prove to be the biggest hindrances in establishing healthy relationships for a longer tenure (Dainton Zelley, 2015, p. 70). Furthermore, the cultural influences on the values of individuals evidently affect their emotional control that reciprocally drives their communication process leading to variation in interpersonal relationships (Mauss Butler, 2010). Research findings elaborate the contention attributing to the variation in desire of individuals in seeking professional assistance (for accomplishing personal requirements) in the context of their psychosocial and cultural differences (Mojaverian, et al., 2013). This difference in the behavioural attitudes of people considered as a direct function of culturally induced patterns of interpersonal relationships between the individuals. 2.1 Explain the skills needed to communicate with children and young people. Developing effective patterns of communication with children and young individuals requires the acquisition of professional attitude and style for establishing healthy relationships with them across the community environment. The recognition of words pronounced by children helps in understanding their feelings and thoughts while evaluating their perceptions during the communication process (Glasper, et al., 2015, p. 61). The anxiety and protective attitude of children requires an understanding in the context of developing dynamic relationships with them through the process of communication. The investment of considerable time with children highly required for understanding their circumstances and evaluating the impact of environmental influences on their behaviour and development. Maintaining effective eye contact with traumatized children and utilization of non-verbal communication style helps in establishing a therapeutic relationship with them across the community environment. The organization of various play activities for children facilitates the increase in their attention to the communication process leading to their psychosocial and behavioural enhancement. The utilization of symbolic, visual and culturally meaningful communication channels assists in cognitive enhancement of children and young individuals (Ross, 2011, p. 47). These effective communication channels utilize the activities attributing to arts and craft, writing, poetry, role-plays, questionnaires and computer games for effectively engaging with the youngsters for a consistently longer tenure. 2.2 Explain how to adapt communication with children and young people for: a) The age of the child or young person Initiation and establishment of effective communication patterns with children and youngsters require overcoming the age barrier while adjusting the line of communication for attaining the desirable outcomes. Unexpressed responses of children attributing to compassion, disgust, anger, sadness, hopelessness, relief and shock require considerable tracking through verbal and non-verbal communication for mitigating the feeling of neglect and negativity across the community environment (Winter, 2011, p. 47). The practice of physical contact and providing reassurance to the younger individuals initiates the feeling of safety within them as they continue to communicate with their friends and peers. Furthermore, utilization of humour and patterns of active listening during communication with the youngsters of various age groups helps in establishing their trust and confidence that lead to their psychosocial enhancement (Dunhill, et al., 2009). Interaction with preschool children through the storey telling activity motivates them considerably in terms of actively participating in the process of communication. Praising the children in the context of enhancing their social skills through verbal communication assists them in fearlessly sharing their opinions, interests and perspectives during the communication session. The communication with older children needs modification in such a manner as to make them aware regarding their increasing responsibilities in accordance with their age enhancement across the community environment. 2.2 Explain how to adapt communication with children and young people for: b) The context of the communication. The patterns of communication with children and young individuals require effective modification in accordance with the situational context and social circumstances faced by the target population. Furthermore, the location of communication requires transforming the tone of communication to a comfortable level while caring them throughout the interactive process at the designated location. Evidence-based research literature considers noise as the biggest hurdle in undertaking effective communication with the individuals (Reid Burton, 2013, p. 154). Therefore, communication needs modification and adjustment in accordance with the levels of noise at the location of communication to surpass its deleterious effects during the interactive process. The communication with youngsters preferably requires undertaking at a location where they can efficiently focus on the engagement activities while surpassing the possible situational distractions for enhancing their educational proficiency acro ss the community environment. 2.2 Explain how to adapt communication with children and young people for: c) Communication differences. Communication differences between children and youngsters require effective mitigation with the practice and implementation of relaxation techniques during the process of communication. This assists in the configuration of a comfortable environment facilitating the unreserved expression of thoughts among the young individuals. Communication processes incorporating the conceptualization and thinking assists in the relationship enhancement with youngsters. Children affected with speech disorders require more time for expressing their concerns and the facilitators should not express perceptions of these children in an irrational manner in the absence of their desirable participation in the interactive process. Pictorial representation of expressions in front of children assists in identification of their emotions and effective communication of feelings leading to their behavioural development (Solomon O'Brien, 2016, p. 382). The evaluation of the mindsets and psychology of children and youngsters is of paramount importance in identifying their interactive skills for effectively modifying the patterns of communication in the context of establishing healthy therapeutic relationships with them across the community environment. 2.3 Explain the main differences between communicating with adults and communicating with children and young people. Clear and concise language patterns require effective utilization while communicating with adults to facilitate thorough transfer of information to the target population. Protecting the individual rights and dignity of adults and older individuals highly warranted while communicating with them during the interactive process (Storlie, 2015, p. 77). Sustenance of professionalism while initiating communication with adults is required for establishing healthy psychosocial relationships with them across the community environment. The utilization of verbal as well as non-verbal skills through effective body language assists in empathising with the adult population and enhancing their prolonged participation in the communication process. Respecting the thought process of adults while ascertaining the confidentiality of shared information facilitates the enhancement of trust and confidence (of adults) on the facilitators of communication. Communication with youngsters and children requires the use of simple phrases and word techniques while giving them the opportunity to participate in the interactive session. The facilitators of communication require good listening skills while interacting with children and adults. Facilitators of communication should allow children to give positive answers in response to the questions during the interactive process. Contrarily, facilitators must also promptly respond to the questions of children while utilizing easy language for enhancing the length and outcomes of communication. The communication process must begin in a supportive environment to facilitate hassle free interactive process. 2.4 Explain how to adapt communication to meet different communication needs of adults. The difficulties faced by young individuals, children and adults require thorough exploration in the context of adapting effective communication patterns for establishing dynamic professional relationships with these individuals. The identification of psychosocial and cognitive deficits of adults required (for facilitators) in implementing appropriate interactive methodology to facilitate the process of communication. Physical disabilities and requirements of adults need consideration while initiating the communication process for mitigating the gaps during transfer of information through interaction. Utilization of pictures, snapshots, signs and symbols during the interactive process helps the people with impaired hearing to identify and understand the flow of information. Slow and consistent conversation maintains the interests of adults as they communicate and share information related to their subject of interest. Repeated paraphrasing of the shared information with elderly indiv iduals while utilizing their pet names assist in establishing patterns of healthy communication with them across the community environment (Touhy Jett, 2016, p. 66). Utilization of question like statements with older people and slow speaking of simple and short sentences facilitates the error free flow of information between the facilitators of communication and the elderly individuals. 2.5 Explain how to manage disagreements with children, young people and adults. Disagreements with people of various age groups require an undertaking in a positive context while considering them as normal human outcomes following the differences in thought processes of individuals. Disagreements arising from interpersonal conflicts require exploration of their causes while allowing individuals for sharing their contentions and perceptions to mitigate the state of disagreement. Implementation of organized approaches required while addressing disagreements between people particularly at the workplace. Initiation of uninterrupted conversation by people required for understanding the situational dilemmas for their strategic resolution. Inviting people at lunch and interacting with them while sharing meals keep them at ease as they continue to share their disagreements with minimum confrontation (Fina, 2009, p. 272-278). Facilitating compromise, following the resolution of disagreements between people mitigates the bitter situation and leads to the resumption of bon ding between people across the community environment. The identification of emotional basis of conflicts between people helps in developing psychosocial strategies for controlling their inappropriate behaviour following the state of disagreement. 3.1 Summarise the main points of legislation and procedures covering confidentiality, data protection and the disclosure of information. Confidentiality protocols related to data protection warrant accessibility of authorized persons to the confidential records of individuals. The sharing of confidential information remains restricted in the absence of informed consent by the concerned individual. Under certain special events or circumstances, the confidential information shared between the authorities without taking informed consent from individuals for mitigating their potentially elevated risk across the community environment. The private and confidential information about individuals remains protected with the data protection act of 1998 that does not allow the transfer of health related information about individuals to any unauthorized agency or institution under normal circumstances. The protection act gives privilege to individuals in terms of owning their confidential personal information and prohibiting its sharing with any other entity without attaining the written informed consent of the concerned individua l (Lewis Thornbory, 2010). Furthermore, sensitive personal information attributing to marital status, occupational health, ethnic origin, religion and criminal records of individuals governed by more stringent legislation following the data protection act. Data protection guidelines allow the uninformed sharing of data by legal authorities for lawful purposes. The data must also remain concise and should serve the purpose of its recording. Unnecessary information irrelevant to the purpose requires bypassing for avoiding legal discrepancies. 3.2 Explain the importance of reassuring children, young people and adults of the confidentiality of shared information and the limits of this. The individuals of various age groups during the process of communication require reassurance in the context of the security of their confidential information shared during the interactive session. This confidential information requires lawful utilization in accordance with the stipulations of data protection act under special circumstances for a pre-specified duration. The right to privacy of confidential information of individuals results in the establishment of their trust and confidence on various societal and law enforcement agencies across the community environment. The non-disclose in this information keeps the individuals at minimum risk as their dignity and identification remains preserved while they continue to share their private information with the sole purpose of accomplishing various psychosocial and community objectives. 3.3 Justify the kinds of situation when confidentiality protocols must be breached. Although data protection conventions do not allow adults to share the information of children and young individuals with any other entity; however, under certain situations these confidentiality protocols require violation from the adults when they have to share the confidential information to the respective legal agencies. In cases of child abuse by family, the adults associated with the child at school require effectively communicating the confidential information of the child to the legal point of contact in the context of avoiding the predisposition (of child) towards experiencing significant physical or psychosocial harm following the home abuse. Furthermore, the tracking of evidences related to child abuse by caretakers at school also requires escalating confidential information to the legal authorities in the context of tracking the culprits for rescuing the child from inhuman conduct under adverse circumstances across the community environment. Similarly, to facilitate any po lice investigation the school authorities might share the demographics and pictures of the child in the absence of parental consent in accordance with the legislative statutes.

Money Market Treasury Report

Question: Describe about the nature of Money Market? Answer: Introduction: Money market is the part of the fiscal market which deals with the fiscal instruments. In the money market, it deals with short term maturities and with very much liquidity in the fiscal market. The money markets are one of the safest places to invest the money. The securities of money market is mainly content of Treasury bills, federal funds, certificate of deposits, repurchase agreements, municipal notes, bankers acceptance and commercial paper. In this research analysis, the analyst studies the nature of the money market, the interest rates of the money market and the different strategies used during the trading by the investors in the money market. The nature of Money Market: The investors in the money market can trade in the money market. The investor in the money market can buy securities and sell securities according to the investors state of mind. The investors can borrow the money and can lend the money in the money market. The money market is mainly known as the short term market. This is because the trading in the money market is for a very short term period (Von Mises, 2013). The investor should trade for less than one year in the money market. If the trader in the money market traded for more than one year then, the market is known as capital market or fixed interest market. Functions of the money market: The money market is a technique where the transfer of funds are traded and has urbanized to make the trading a muscular scale of consistency and security. The most essential function of money market is the trading of funds which is short term from the surplus units to the shortfall units. The other function of the money market is the method of raising the fund which is in short term by the Government of the country. This is a crucial technique of implementing the financial policy of the country. It can also help in determining the structure of rate of interest of the country. Major participants in the Money Market: The Central Bank: The central bank plays an important role in operating the money supply and the intensity of the rate of interest. The central bank all over the world execute on the policy, predominantly in fiscal policy. The economic policy of the Government mainly aims at the growth of economics, external balance, full employment and the stability of price (Vogel, 2010). The Commercial Bank: The commercial bank always accepts the deposits and arranges loans of the peoples and also for the companies who want to take loans from the market. It also supplies resources of funding for the Government by purchasing the securities of the Government (Schwager, 2012). It also helps in raising the funds in the companies and to the persons by straight financing. Merchant Banks: In the money market, Investment bank also participates in trading. The participation of commercial bank in the money market by affording a wide array of fiscal forces for cost and commissions. The merchant bank always accepts the short period loans and the fixed deposits. Finance Companies: The finance companies always take part in various activities. One of the activities of the finance companies is to provide finance in leasing and by hire purchasing. It also takes part in investing and in the portfolio management. But finance company loves to play in long term activities mainly in the capital market (Schwager, 2012). It should also participate in the short term activities to get more finance and to control the liquidity. Interest Rates: There are different types of interest rates in the money market. They are: a) The borrowing funds cost b) The lending funds rate of interest. c) Time value of monetary value. d) The cost of opportunity of holding monetary value. Interest rate is usually viewed as the price of funds that are borrowed from the lender. When the borrower borrows some amount of money from the lender, the lender gets interest on the borrowing amount. The interest paid by the borrower to the lender on certain interest rates. The interest rates are calculated on the principal amount that is the borrowing amount. Interest Rate Calculations: The time value of the monetary value shows the variation of money in the present value (PV) and the future value (FV) of the money (Schmidt, 2011). The variation of money is presented by the interest amount (I) paid by the borrower. FV = PV + I Simple Interest: The term simple interest is also known as the flat interest. The simple interest or flat interest is calculated on the principal amount that is the borrowing amount, borrowed by the borrower from the lender (Hur, 2005). The formula of simple interest is calculated by: I = PV * i * t Where, i is the annual interest rate t is the term of the investment in years and the formula for the future value, based on simple interest can be derived as follows: FV = PV + I = PV + (PV * i * t) = PV (1 + it) Assume $200 is invested today for 6 years at 6 % simple interest: I = PV * i * t = 200 * 6 * 0.06 = 72 FV = PV + I = 200 + 72 = 272 Alternatively, using the formula for the future value: Fv = PV (1 + it) = 200 (1 + 0.06 * 6) = 200 * 1.36 = 272 In the money market, the technique simple interest is used if the borrowing money is less than twelve months. Compound Interest: Compound interest is another technique for calculating the interest amount like simple interest. The compound interest is also calculated on the principal amount that is the borrowing amount, borrowed by the borrower from the lender (Faltin, Fleischmann and Feuerle, 2013). The formula of compound interest is calculated by: FV = PV (1 + i)t If the compound period is more than one in the year then the equation will be, FV = PV (1 + i/m)t * m Here, m is equal to the total number of compound periods in a year. i / m is equal to the rate of interest per compounding period. t * m is equal to the total number of compounding periods. To calculate the future value in the compound interest is FV = PV (1 + r)n Here, r is equals to the rate of interest per compounding period N is the total number of compounding periods. Nominal and Effective / Comparative Interest Rates: The comparative rate is also known as the effective interest. The comparative rate of interest is calculated if the compounding period is more than one year. It is very much essential to compute the rate of interest and to compare the rate of interest with various compounding periods (Homer and Sylla, 2005). The formula used to find the Nominal and Comparative Interest Rate is: ie = (1 + i / m)m 1 Discount Rates: Discount rate means the calculation of the total amount of interest paid by the borrower to the lender, which is the variation among the present value of money and the future value of the money (Alonso and Blanco, 2005). The formula used in the discount rates to calculate the interest amount: FV = PV + I = PV (1 + it) The above equation can be arranged in PV = FV / (1 + y * t) Here, y is equal to i which is the yield or the discount rate. The flow of cash that take place more than 1 year, then the formula can be written in: PV = FV (1 + r) n = FV / (1 + r)n The Structure of Interest Rates: The interest rate structure reflects the affiliation among the current various rate of interest in the fiscal system. The structure of interest rate is of two types. They are a) Risky structure of rate of interest. b) Term structure of rate of interest. The fund suppliers always seem to be risk reluctant. It means that the point of risk of a fiscal asset is higher, then the point of return claimed by the trader of cremation is higher. The two fiscal risks which will sway the rate of return by the traders are: a) Liquidity Risk. b) Credit Risk or Default Risk. Liquidity Risk: This type of risk has various prospects which depend on the traders fretful. For the trader, this type of risk should not be traded in the market. In this market, the assets cannot be traded by the investors, so the investor cannot convert the assets in to the cash. Credit Risk: Credit risk is also known as the default risk. The default risk is the risk that the borrower cannot repay the borrowed amount to the lender (Cantwell, 2013). During the year 2007 and 2008, the house mortgage trader cannot repay the borrowed loan to the bank which causes market crash in the USA market. The Graph showing the Singapore interest rate: The next six months interest rate of Singapore: The Different Types of Strategies: The different types of strategies in the money market are mentioned below: Minimum Price Fluctuation: The minimum price fluctuation is legalized on the bottom of the swap is 1 basis point, which is appreciated at $25. One-Month LIBOR Futures: One-month LIBOR futures starts trading on the IMM in the year 1990. The one-month LIBOR contract means the three-month Euro and dollar agreement mentioned in the research, excluding that ending settlement is based on the 30-day LIBOR. Contract decision is like Eurodollar contract for the three months, the LIBOR for one month contract is cash established. Arrangement is based on a speculative principal amount of $3 million. For one-month LIBOR futures Price Quotation and Minimum Price Fluctuation Prices are found as an index almost indistinguishable used in Eurodollar futures for three-month. The index is calculated by subtracting the 30-day futures LIBOR from 100. The smallest amount of price increased is 1 basis point. Final settlement Price: For the one month Libor, the ending agreement price depends on the daily interest rates. Trading Strategies: The traders should have some trading strategies. The trader can invest in the capital market in some shares, bonds or securities when the market price of the shares, bonds or securities are lower in the market (Halsey, 2013). And the trader can sell his or her shares, bonds, securities when the market price gets higher. If the trader follows this strategy while investing and selling in the market, the trader can make a profit from the investment in the capital market. Long Position (Bullish Strategy): The trader should buy the shares, bonds or securities when the market price is getting down. That time the trader should go for the long position that is invest the money in the capital market. After buying the shares at a lower cost the trader should wait for the market to get into the bullish condition (Katsanos, 2008). When the market is in Bullish condition the trader should sell the shares and get into the short position. Short Position (Bearish Strategy): When the trader invested in the capital market and the market price went high and the trader is expecting a fall in the market price, the trader can go into the short position on securities, bonds or shares in the market price to earn a profit (Katz and McCormick, 2000). And can wait for the price to go down in the market. If the market price gets down the trader can again invest the money in the capital market earn a profit. Spread Position: The term spread refers to the continuous purchasing and selling of commodities like shares, bonds or securities. The main aim of the traders to gets into the spread position is to earn a profit from the portfolio made by the traders in the capital market. The difference in price between the long and short position helps the trader to generate profit (Miner, 2009). Time Spread: Time spread is also known as calendar spread and horizontal spread. This is a strategy which involves the buying and selling of call options and put options with the similar strike price but having diverse date of expiration (Schmidt, 2011). If the trader enters into the time spread strategy it decreases the risk of the market. Hedging Strategies: Hedging strategy means when the traders gets into the long position or in the short position in the capital market the trader can use the hedging strategy. When the traders make the portfolio, the traders should keep in mind that from all the securities or the shares, the trader cannot earn a profit. May be the trader may run in loss while investing in the market (Tang and Li, 2007). To minimize the loss the traders should hedge their portfolio with different shares or securities so that the loss from one share gets minimize by making a profit from other securities. Perfect hedge and cross hedge: Perfect hedge is a position which reduces the risk of the market from a portfolio. This perfect hedge is a position which may have hundred percent contrary correlations to its initial position (Schmidt, 2011). Cross hedge means when the trader is in the long position or in the short position of a commodity takes an opposite position of a different commodity. Conclusion: From the above study, the research analyst studied the concept of money market in the financial market. The research analyst also studies the different rates of interest rate imposed in the money market. It also describes the different trading strategies of the money market which gives an idea that how to protect the investors money in the money market so that the investor cannot face loss in the investors investments. The rate of return of the investor is in profit situation. References: Barrow, C. (2013). 30 Day MBA. London: Kogan Page. Cantwell, D. (2013).

Since the poem has the word growing In It, I Immediately thought that act of growing may be pertinent to the subject In the poem. We will write a custom essay sample on Poem Analysis: I Saw in Louisiana a Live Oak Growing specifically for you for only $16.38 $13.9/page Order now We will write a custom essay sample on Poem Analysis: I Saw in Louisiana a Live Oak Growing specifically for you FOR ONLY $16.38 $13.9/page Hire Writer We will write a custom essay sample on Poem Analysis: I Saw in Louisiana a Live Oak Growing specifically for you FOR ONLY $16.38 $13.9/page Hire Writer In simple terms, I assumed that the poem was going to be about the observation of a tree in Louisiana. Furthermore, little is known about the speaker. We simply know that the speaker is one person, we are not sure about the sex or age. The first line of the poem is a restatement of the title. This Is followed by the line â€Å"All alone stood It and the moss hung down from the branches†. The speaker Is Informing us that the tree Is alone, meaning the tree is separated from others. We also discover that the tree branches are adorned with moss, which is a type of plant. The speaker has enabled the reader to picture this tree in their mind. In the next few lines we were reminded that the tree was situated in a space isolated from everything else. Whitman writes, â€Å"Without any companion, it grew there uttering Joyous leaves of dark green†. Not only do we know that moss covers the tree, but we now find out that the tree has dark green leaves. The word â€Å"uttering† In this line means that the tree Is making a statement or paving public expression. This refers to the leaves that dangle from the tree. The tree’s looks are further described as â€Å"rude, unbending and lusty. This line can easily be confused by the multiple definitions of these words. I believe that in terms of â€Å"rude†, Whitman means the rough and unfinished state of the tree. As far as â€Å"lusty’ goes, I think that Whitman is trying to say that the tree is full of strength. I find this line to be somewhat contradictory. However, I take each deflation Into account when creating ten Image AT ten tree In my mina We continue to learn many characteristics of the tree. At this point, I think that the tree symbolizes self-reliance and independence. As the tree is surviving on it’s own, the speaker in the poem feels as if he/she is not qualified enough to do the same. The characteristics of the tree remind the speaker of himself/herself. I am prompted to think that this person is lacking confidence. The speaker then proceeds to wonder how the tree is able to expel such beauty all alone without the help of a friend or lover. We then surely find out that the speaker does not believe that they are able to o the same without the assistance and guidance of others. He or she may be dependent on others. I also begin to question the speakers reasoning for doubting himself/herself. There must have been an incidence that has led the speaker to think that he/she needs the help of friends. Through the next few lines the speaker breaks off a twig from the tree and winds some moss around it. I first thought that the speaker could be trying to destroy the tree. However, the way the speaker handles the twig leads me to think that he/she wants to be like the tree. â€Å"l have it placed in sight in my room†. He/she has the twig placed so that they can admire the twig and be reminded of the beautiful tree that is capable of so much. This twig may help the speaker to be more reliant on themselves. The twig may act as a positive influence for the speaker. The moss makes the twig more appealing, I think that it gives the twig character and backbone. â€Å"It is not needed to remind me as of my own dear friends, (for I believe lately I think of little else than of them)†. This line was difficult to explain and understand. The speaker is implying that there is not much to think of other than their friends. I question the loyalty and presence of the speaker’s friends. I wonder if the friends of the speaker do not treat him/her well or if they have betrayed him/her. There is definitely a reason why the speaker is thinking of his/her friends so much. The thought of the tree and it’s independence causes the speaker to be curious. I believe that the speaker is interested in how the tree can be skilled enough to accomplish so much while being unaccompanied. â€Å"–it makes me think of manly love† writes Whitman about the tree. In this line I think Whitman is addressing the issue of love. The surprising capabilities of the tree prompt him to think of the strong affection possessed by a man. I believe that Whitman is comparing the unexpected happenings of love to the abilities of the tree and life itself. Both of these ideas present an obstacle in the eyes of the speaker. â€Å".. And thought the live oak glistens there in Louisiana, solitary, in a wide flat space†. The word â€Å"glistens† in this line grabs my attention. The speaker is trying to dramatist the magnificence that he/she has found in the tree. Glisten is defined as a sparkling or lustrous reflection. This word ally stresses the beauty found in the tree. Solitary’ also accentuates the idea that the tree is abandoned and alone without companions. Whitman concludes the poem by writing â€Å"l know very well I could not†. This line is grounds for believing that the speaker lacks confidence. He/she has spent a great amount of time admiring and appreciating this oak tree in Louisiana. They have recognized the amazing capabilities that this tree possesses. However, there is a surprising twist to this poem. The speaker clearly announces that he/she is not adept to do the same. The speaker in the poem does not have faith in themselves. At first, I tongue Tanat ten immolation may De Jealousy towards ten tree, out ten way ten speaker shows respect towards the tree leads me to believe otherwise. It is amazing that a small thirteen line poem can verbalize so much. I Saw in Louisiana a Live Oak Growing does not appear to have any rhythmic pattern. I did notice that the poet repeats certain phrases and lines throughout the poem. For example, in lines 3 and 12, Whitman writes â€Å"uttering Joyous leaves†. After picking apart each line in this poem, I was able to gather a greater understanding of exactly what Walt Whitman was trying to depict.

Remembering Life - Creating Wholeness from Loss

Remembering Life - Creating Wholeness from Loss It’s Memorial Day and I am remembering. Remembering those who have passed in various ways throughout the years. Those who have touched me personally. Remembering, etymologically, is a putting back together of parts. When someone is torn from us, we naturally perform this reconstruction through our thoughts. The most recent lost in my life was my friend Nikk, who died unexpectedly two weeks ago. He was 33. His family has chosen not to request an autopsy, so we don’t know how he died, whether it was an aneurysm or a tumor or a heart attack. I have a compulsion to understand, to know the reason. His family, understandably, believes that the final result is the same so why put their son’s body through invasive procedures? What’s important is not how it happened but how we choose to remember. And so we remember. The music, the love, the funny things he said and did. The contribution he made. In Memory of Nikk C. These are the sorts of things we are called upon to piece together about all our loved ones who have passed on. I remember these things about my father who died of pneumonia at age 57; my college roommate who was killed in a car accident in the prime of her life; and my grandmother who lived to a ripe old age. What of my high school classmate who was hit by a bus? Or the professor who was going to be my thesis advisor until he was in an accident on his way home one night? We experience painful loss, and in the same transaction we are gifted with memories that repair the rift. What will we choose to remember? And what can we learn from those memories about how best to live our lives? I asked some of Nikk’s friends what message they thought he would want to send to the world. Some words and phrases that came up were were joy, spontaneity, embracing who you are, connecting closely with others, believing in others even when they don’t believe in themselves, and being a force for positivity, inspiration and love. Recently he had completed a huge web development project for the Rainbird Foundation, whose mission is to end child abuse. He definitely made his mark. The pieces come together. I had a brush with possible death when I was in a car accident four weeks ago, and I have been called to consider what people will remember about me. I want to be thought of for the creativity I have put into the world, for the ways I have expanded and progressed other people’s lives, for my spirit and my contributions. I hope that many people’s lives have been made better because I have touched them. Celebrating Life The phrase â€Å"Memorial Service† has rather somber connotations, and so Nikk’s family gathered people together for a â€Å"Celebration of Life.† Whatever the title, what we all did there was scroll through our memories. We experienced joy, we connected with each other, and we appreciated all that Nikk had created. We say â€Å"Rest in Peace,† and we want the souls of our loved ones to be at peace if that is our belief. I believe that with that phrase we are seeking peace and wholeness in ourselves as we adjust to life without the person who passed. I also believe it’s the remembering, and the inspiration that springs from it, that will get us there. Category:Life and LeadershipBy Brenda BernsteinMay 28, 2013 1 Comment Andrea says: May 28, 2013 at 2:54 pm Hi Brenda Im sorry for your loss. Nikk must have been touched by the joy in your life, too. He sounds like he was such a special guy. Log in to Reply

Identities of Cardiff, Wales, UK by quantitative evidence Essay

Identities of Cardiff, Wales, UK by quantitative evidence - Essay Example Of that total population two-thirds (210,000) are of working age and one-third (110,400) are dependents - children under fifteen, women over the age of 60 and men over the age of 65. In contrast, in Wales outside of Cardiff, a lower percentage of the population is still in the workforce. A mere 1,586,000 or 60% of the population is in the workforce, while 40% are classified as dependents. These means that there are more dependents per thousand workers in Wales than there are in Cardiff. Moreover, in Cardiff dependent children outnumber dependent adults while in the remainder of Wales dependent adults outnumber dependent children. Overall, therefor the population of Cardiff is younger than the population of Wales as a whole. In Cardiff a greater percentage of the population is still in the workforce and dependents about to enter the workforce outnumber dependents who have left the workforce. The general fertility rate in Cardiff is slightly lower than that in the remainder of Wales. The figure per thousand women in Cardiff is 57.2: Slightly less than the Welsh national figure which is 59.4. In the aggregate there are only limited differences between the two areas. However, if birthrate is analyzed by age distinct differences emerge. Simply put, women in Cardiff have children later than women in Wales as a whole. In Wales as a whole the birth rate exceeds that of Cardiff for all women under the age of 30. In Cardiff the opposite is true, the birth rate for women over the age of 29 is greater than the national average..

The crash of the stock markets reduced the spending capability of individuals through fear of further economic woes. Unemployment and job losses led to a reduction of the purchasing power. Purchasing power is defined as the ability of the society to purchase goods and services. Increased purchases indicate the power of the society and improved welfare while reduced purchases indicate an ailing economy that needs intervention and support. The reduction of purchasing power of the economy at the time was an indication of the reduction of income earning and creation in the country. The situation was made worse with the inability of the banks to offer loans that could improve the purchasing power. The failure to offer loans to the citizens also indicated the situation of the banks in terms of financial strengths. Later, several banks collapsed and with the collapse came massive losses to the citizens th rough loss of savings and investments. The situation was so dire that banks' lost public confidence leading to the creation of the FDIC to offer support and security for individual savings. With such massive issues, the financial sector of the country was in shambles leading to the failure of the whole economy called the great depression. In addition, American economic policy changes as a result of the ailing economy. The government created the Smooth-Hawley Tariff to protect the American companies. The policy charged high tax for imports reducing the amount of trade between America and the rest of the world. The Smooth-Hawley Tariff protected the country production companies from competition. However, the mode of protection led to the isolation of the country because International Corporation could not venture into the country due to the expensive nature of business operations. Drought was an indirect facilitator of the economic problems witnessed in the country. The serious drough t occurred in the Mississippi valley, in 1930, leading to the sale of farm lands in order to remain afloat (Foner 90). While not affecting the economy directly, it helped in the shaping of the economic perspective of the country, to create a financial problem in the area. The drought did not have a massive influence on the economy but helped facilitate the already worse economy to decline. The role of Franklin Roosevelt in economy improvement After the depression witnessed the country struggled to recover from the failure with minimal success until the election of Franklin Roosevelt. Roosevelt enacted several Legislations through congress in a bid to help industrial and economic recovery. The creation of the National Recovery Administration was to foster operation between the government, business and labor in order to achieve success. During the first hundred days of his tenure, he instigated changes in the political leadership to solve the banking crisis with the main focus of the change to restore and not offer drastic change in the economy. The job losses and unemployment witnessed after the great depression had affected the lives of the citizens (Foner 121). In order to assist, the president instigated relief programs to support provision of basic needs to families and also help in spurring the economy. The relief programs helped to reduce starving of the citizens
