This exploration will dissect the critical parts of effective counter radicalization models of various nations, and recommend approaches to join those in Bangladesh to build up an intelligible enemy of radicalization methodology. At first, this writing survey will examine the idea of radicalization through the internet. It will permit the perusers to follow the ensuing investigation and the proposals to build up a component in Bangladesh to counter this threat. The writing audit is partitioned into three areas: understanding on the web radicalization, online radicalization from a Bangladeshi viewpoint, and huge parts of fruitful worldwide enemy of radicalization programs. Understanding on the web radicalization will analyze the potential intensity of the web to impact individuals and the procedure of radicalization. The segment on online radicalization from a Bangladeshi point of view will from the outset, quickly survey the important dangers in Bangladesh and will at that point, recognize and assess the current projects of countering on the web radicalization. The last segment will contemplate the systems received by Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), The U.S. National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC), and the present projects embraced by Malaysia and Indonesia. These two nations of Southeast Asia have been chosen because of strict and social likenesses, and geographic closeness. Their projects seem, by all accounts, to be successful aga inst online radicalization. Understanding Online Radicalization The web seems to make more chances to become radicalized. Numerous academic articles credit a job to the web in advancing radicalization[1]. Those examinations propose that the web goes about as a quickening agent, and has broken the conventional boundaries to radicalize individuals[2]. In such manner, Gabriel Weimanns Terror on the Internet: The New Arena, The New Challenges checks the quantity of sites of fear monger gatherings and surveys their contents[3]. In his article, Weimann focuses to the multiplication of radicals sites. He establishes, before the finish of 1999, practically all psychological oppressor bunches set up their online nearness. Distinctive experimental examinations propose, there is a relationship between's fanatics sites and online publicity, and fast radicalization. The web empowers the fear based oppressors to contact in any case inaccessible people. The span of the web has obscured the geographic boundaries, and associated the removed people in the virtual world. Subside Neumann in his examination focuses that the web permits the psychological oppressors to contact those people who might not have been open in some other way[4]. For instance, Anwar al-Awlaki[5] effectively made online substance, for example, Inspire that advocates jihad from home. Ines von Behr declares, these sort of online materials have expand the degree to contact any individuals, and their engaging substance make increasingly opportunity to embed radical thoughts among the individuals[6]. The web makes chances to radicalize a more extensive scope of individuals from all social orders. Rachel and Strugnell recognize, alongside evacuating the geographic boundary, the web has deleted the social and sexual orientation obstructions too to spread radical philosophies. They feature on the web made extension to reach and radicalize the women[7]. In numerous social orders, it might be hard for ladies to meet actually with male radicals or work with them; it might likewise be hard for the ladies to communicate certain contemplations out in the open. Notwithstanding, the web permits them more prominent anonymity[8]. A few creators opine, the web benefits the thoughtful person people who are looking for the extreme thoughts by making an extension to get to any substance privately[9]. Jerome Bjelopera says,ãââ the attributes of the web permits a relative bit of leeway to the fear mongers in the current days than their past ages by blurring the lines between nations, social or ders, and genders[10]. The web gives guessed secrecy and a level of assurance and security from detection[11]. The web quickens the procedure of radicalization. Bjelopera terms the web as a reverberation chamber[12]. That is to say, individuals who are looking through any extreme plans to help their crude musings are probably going to make some fortify substance on the web because of its huge stockpiling. The web is a sort of one-stop look for all the data that an individual may try to underline his extreme thoughts that speeds up his radicalization procedure. The virtual world diminishes the time period of radicalization process instead of the real world. Anthony Bergin in his investigation alludes the web as a transport line that quickens the radicalization procedure by giving momentary and consistent association with any savage idea[13]. Raffaello Pantucci further features the online worlds job in brooding and quickening radicalization[14]. Robert Schmidle focuses that, the visit rooms specifically are compelling for the fanatics since they can trade thoughts with similarly invested people every minute of every day paying little heed to borders[15]. In this way, the web assists the radicalization procedure of any person by offering assortments of substance and persistent cooperation. The web permits radicalization to happen without physical contact. Yeap and Park clarify, the web empowers any person to get to radical substance from their own space as opposed to going to an extreme strict gathering[16]. In this way, an individual need just the web association, physical heading out to other area is not any more fundamental. Despite the fact that the web decreases obstacles to collaboration, barely any researchers may contend that human cooperation is important for radicalization. Be that as it may, Behr says, in an advanced period the online exercises might be considered as an expansion of the genuine lives, and physical association is no more essential[17]. Adjacent to the real world, individual relationship may develop in the virtual world also. Accordingly, Mitchell Silber and Arvin Bhatt declares, radicalization on the web isn't really any extraordinary to what might occur with other increasingly private and less noticeable sources[18]. Additionally, the web ex pands open doors for self-radicalization. It is where an individual bit by bit become radicalized without anyone else [19]. Thus, the web makes chances of radicalization without human communication. An individual travel through a few stages as he gets radicalized through the internet. In a New York Police Department radicalization contextual investigation, Silber and Bhatt recognize four periods of radicalization: pre-radicalization, self-distinguishing proof, inculcation and jihadization[20]. The contextual investigation perceives the effect of the web on the radicalization procedure as an individual searching for a character and a cause[21]. The web encourages in every one of the phases to train, mingle, instill and recruit[22]. The FBI has likewise made a radicalization model like that of the NYPD. The FBI model has four phases: pre-radicalization, recognizable proof, inculcation and action[23]. These classes are practically like NYPD. The graph underneath represents the Moghaddams flight of stairs to radicalization where the online substance assume a reciprocal job: Moghaddam Staircase to Radicalization Source: Moghaddam, Fathali M. The Staircase to Terrorism, A Psychological Exploration, Vol. 60, No. 2, American Psychologist, 2005. Online Radicalization in Bangladeshi Perspective Fear mongers Approach and their Target Audience In Bangladesh, not many religion based fear based oppressor associations have picked up capacities to create and spread their extreme messages on the web. They have pulled out in the open and media consideration through their exercises and engendering. Furthermore, scarcely any radical political gatherings are additionally attempting to build up their online capacities. At present 13 psychological oppressor associations are working effectively and 29 others are working secretively utilizing counterfeit credentials[24]. The Special Branch of Bangladesh Police has given the names of eight fear based oppressor associations to Home Ministry who are dynamic on the web: Ansarullah Bangla Team, Allahr Dal, Islamic Solidarity Front, Tamiruddin Bangladesh, Tawhidee Trust, Hizbut-Tawhid, Shahdat-e-Nabuwat and Jamat-as-Sadat. Five of these fear based oppressor associations have just been restricted by the legislature, and eight more are yet to be banned[25]. These gatherings may have critical v enture, both human and money related, to construct their online limits. The psychological militant gatherings of Bangladesh give off an impression of being dynamic on the web, especially in Facebook and YouTube, to spread radical lecturing. This is more secure, and lower plausibility of being followed by the law implementing offices. Farooq opines, the online purposeful publicity of the fear based oppressors in Bangladesh have gotten increasingly composed, and engaging their targets[26]. Arman claims that the psychological militants attempt to misuse the ethno-strict notion of the individuals while building up their messages, and request to their accepts to implant their radical ideas[27]. In the course of the most recent couple of years, detest addresses and vicious belief systems that spread through the web set off various fear monger assaults and mutual savagery in Bangladesh. This was apparent in Ramu and Pabna episodes where mass assaults were completed on strict minority individuals. In the two cases, unidentified people utilizing nom de plumes doc tored photographs and messages on the Facebook slandering Islam that disturbed people[28]. Online networking have become the most effortless intends to spread radical thoughts in Bangladesh. Bangladeshi adolescents are especially powerless against online radicalization because of absence of digital mindfulness. Farooq in his examination opines, the fear based oppressors appear to focus on the informed young people by spreading engaging m lawrencebrooks197http://www.blogger.com/profile/17888652601094015526noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357669369016965456.post-35418888202417437992020-08-21T13:34:00.001-07:002020-08-21T13:34:35.669-07:00Dream Analysis EssayDreams had consistently been a piece of human presence. Since days of yore, individuals had consistently been bewildered on the marvel of dreaming. As right on time as 5000 B. C. , early civic establishments had recorded and attempted to decipher their fantasies on mud tablets. The Egyptians, confounded by the presence of dreams, had even had confidence in a God of Dreams whom they called Serapis. Up to the current age, scholars and clinicians are as yet incapable to show up at a distinct clarification on why people dream. Dreams are carved in the human brain so that makes it difficult for scientists to dispassionately contemplate them. At present, there are three significant hypotheses that are generally acknowledged that clarify such wonder: (1) Freudââ¬â¢s Theory (2) Cognitive Theory and the (3) Activation-Synthesis Theory. Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) accepted that a fantasy exists as a desire satisfaction. As indicated by him, individuals have unsatisfied or unexpressed wants during the occasions when they are wakeful and these wants are being satisfied unknowingly when individuals dream through resting. For instance, an individual having unfulfilled sexual wants a couple of days before resting may have dreams that are explicitly sensual in nature (may prompt ââ¬Ëwet dreamingââ¬â¢). Thus, individuals who had been compelled to stifle their annoyance during waking hours may have dreams that contain vicious components/scenes (Santrock, 2005, p. 244). This hypothesis of Freud is especially pertinent to an individual encounter. When I broke our printer unintentionally. I was attempting to figure out how to fix it however the main arrangement I could consider is having it fixed by an expert. The primary problem was that I didnââ¬â¢t have the cash to have it fixed. It was blessed that nobody else utilized the printer that day. At the point when I rested at night, I imagined that a specific elderly person came to fix our printer complimentary. The fantasy finished there. It tends to be seen from this experience an issue during the day was given a transitory arrangement through dreaming. In spite of the fact that the printer wasnââ¬â¢t truly fixed by any means, the fantasy was adequate in giving a snappy way out of my nervousness brought about by the messed up printer. Another model was the point at which I was wanting for some McDonaldââ¬â¢s Fries for no specific explanation. I havenââ¬â¢t had the option to go to the said Fast-Food Shop in light of the fact that my mom obtained my vehicle. I just dozed through my hankering for McFries and I wound up dreaming about it, just that in my fantasy, the fries are a lot bigger than the real size. As per Freud, our fantasies may contain scenes or occasions from our encounters of the previous day or of the day preceding. One specific dream to represent this is my fantasy that I had the option to fly. In the fantasy, I had my arms extended over my head and I was flying over our town, especially like Superman. I could interface this fantasy to my conduct when I swam with my companions the day preceding. During my stay submerged, I had been copying the flying situation of Superman envisioning that I was drifting in mid-air rather than mid-water. An extra model for this hypothesis of Freud is my fantasy on the Red Queen. I had watched on home video the film Alice in Wonderland by Tim Burton. I was so aggravated with the Red Queenââ¬â¢s face while I was viewing the film that I longed for the character when I rested at night. In the fantasy, I was having a question with the Red Queen where at long last I won our battle and I had the option to order certain Knights, ââ¬Å"Off with her head! â⬠Perhaps associated with this guideline of Freud was my experience when I had a fever. I wasnââ¬â¢t feeling great when I rested and I was feeling somewhat frightened to rest in isolation. In my rest, I envisioned that I was changed into a feline and that my companions couldn't remember me. I was attempting my best to shout my name to them yet all that I could figure out how to state were little howls. The following phase of my fantasy was that I had a little gap in my skull. The little gap prompted the distortion of my skull since it emitted noxious cerebral liquid through it. I woke up in the center of late evening perspiring and breathing vigorously. Despite the fact that occasions from days before may show up in a fantasy, it doesn't really imply that the scenes in the fantasy occur in sequence. As a general rule, a fantasy is a homogenous blend of various time spans where the feeling of sequence is missing. Tied with this rule is that places where dream scenes may happen need not be consistent or genuine. I had dreams before of awakening in my room as the sun was simply rising and venturing out of my room, I end up at the school cafeteria path past sunset. I likewise had a fantasy wherein I was remaining before my friendââ¬â¢s house. That companion of mine had affronted me during one of our night-out with the remainder of our friends. In my fantasy, I had returned to the scene wherein we were having an extraordinary contention. At that point, one moment of spinning got me front of that friendââ¬â¢s house, hanging tight for him to come out and request pardoning. He didnââ¬â¢t come out of the house however and I was brought to a nursery where I discovered him sitting on a seat. Toward the finish of the fantasy, I was the person who requested his absolution. The next morning, before I left for school, he gave me a call revealing to me that he was grieved. As per Freud, there are two segments of a fantasy, a surface component which he called the show content and a concealed importance of the surface component which he called the inert substance. For instance, Freud expresses that snakes and ties present in the fantasy may mean something different. The snake or bowtie is the show content while its inactive substance is a male genitalia. This implies the snake or bowtie represents a male genitalia. This thought of Freud caused me to recollect a fantasy I had recently this end of the week. In the fantasy, I had been drifting with a visit direct on the Amazon River. I was so frightened to see a mammoth snake swimming simply under our vessel. The unremarkable visit manage just disclosed to me that the snake couldnââ¬â¢t see us since we were in the snakeââ¬â¢s vulnerable side. I never recognized what occurred with me on that waterway, just that in the fantasy I was moved elsewhere I couldnââ¬â¢t recall. Could my fantasy imply that I am fantasizing about whatever the snake represents? Itââ¬â¢s difficult to accept however! The second hypothesis of dreaming is the Cognitive Theory. It expresses that dreaming includes the equivalent subjective advances utilized in the waking psyche: preparing, memory and critical thinking (Santrock, 2005, p. 245). In this hypothesis, shrouded implications of dreams through images are not viewed as could be expected under the circumstances. Dreaming is viewed as an open door for the individual to discover a perspective where issues can be fathomed through imaginative reasoning. Robert Louis Stevenson, for instance, said that it was in a fantasy that he procured the thought for Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Elias Howe asserted additionally that a fantasy gave him making a sewing needle with the opening for the string on the unpolished tip of the needle and not on the center. (Santrock, 2005, p. 245). Friedrich Kekule, the defender of the structure of the benzene, said that the cyclic structure of benzene was found in a fantasy wherein he saw a snake attempting to chomp its own tail as it moves in a roundabout way. I could apply this hypothesis in one of my encounters. I was attempting to think of a story on how people need to confront preliminaries as methods for being sincerely more grounded. The story should have been as inventive as conceivable in light of the fact that I was going to introduce it to an adolescent gathering in our congregation. Out of weakness because of an excessive amount of reasoning, I chose to sleep around my work area. I envisioned then of a youthful butterfly inside a casing. At the point when I woke up, I was helped to remember a story I heard some time in the past from a Franciscan religious recluse wherein a youngster attempted to enable the youthful butterfly to escape the casing by opening the casing himself with the utilization of some scissors. The butterfly left the cover pitifully with gaunt wings and couldn't fly. The battle of the butterfly to escape the case without anyone else causes it to create more grounded wings that would before long empower it to fly. In the event that I hadnââ¬â¢t longed for the youthful butterfly in the case, I wouldnââ¬â¢t have recollected this story! The third hypothesis is the Activation-Synthesis Theory. It expresses that fantasies are a piece of the brainââ¬â¢s interior exertion to clarify the neural action that despite everything exists despite the fact that the individual is dozing (Santrock, 2005, p. 245). Neural systems in regions of the forebrain are engaged with both the waking and dreaming practices. Essential engine and tangible regions of the forebrain may conceivably be enacted during the sensorimotor parts of dreaming. (Santrock, 2005, p. 246). For instance, if the fantasy requests spatial association, the parietal flap would be initiated. Correspondingly, if the fantasy requests passionate prerequisites, the amygdala, hippocampus and frontal projection might be initiated. The development of dreams in a ââ¬Ëfantasy-whirlingââ¬â¢ way might be expected to the unexpected, awkward eye developments of REM rest. The abrupt move or dissolvation of a specific dream scene is disclosed as because of the typical cycling of neural enactment. During phases of rest, levels of synapses may rise and fall wherein specific neural systems are enacted and closed down. As another cycle is actuated, that is, new arrangements of neural systems are enacted and closed down, another fantasy scene goes to the core interest. Dreaming, hence, turns into a progression of imagination changed slide appears. In association with this hypothesis, I once had a fantasy that included a genuine encounter while I was resting. I figured out how to open my eyes as I was upset in a rest. I at that point saw my mom in my room, fixing the wreckage I left on my examination work area. Subliminally, I realized that I saw my mom inside my room, yet at that point, as though my mind needed to clarify or make a story out of what I saw, the specific scen lawrencebrooks197http://www.blogger.com/profile/17888652601094015526noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357669369016965456.post-7522844693271667792020-05-29T05:33:00.001-07:002020-05-29T05:33:02.954-07:00The Handsomest Drowned Man in the World - Free Essay Example Sea Imagery The Handsomest Drowned Man in the World is full of sea imagery, from the title on forward. When the dead body first approaches the shore, the kids playing think he is a whale; then, a ship. He even looks like some sort of funky sea monster: when [his body] washed up on the beach, they removed the clumps of seaweed, the jellyfish tentacles, and the remains of fish and flotsam, and only then did they see that it was a drowned man (1). And shortly after, were told that he had the smell of the sea about him and only his shape gave one to suppose that it was the corpse of a human being, because the skin was covered with a crust of mud and scales (2). The women use a sail to make him a shirt. They suppose that, if he were alive, he would have had so much authority that he could have drawn fish out of the sea simply by calling their names (4). And later they imagine his soft, pink, sea lion hands as hes stretched out like a sperm whale (7, 11). What we see is that the drowned man is an object of the sea. He comes from it at the start of the story, and he is returned at the end to the sea, where the fish are blind and the divers die of nostalgia (9). The connection between the drowned man and the sea highlights his role as an almost supernatural figure of mythology. He doesnt quite belong in this world, our world. Mythology The drowned man represents any number of mythological or epic historical figures, and well go through them one by one. First off is the name the villagers assign him: Esteban. Who is this Esteban? As it turns out, Esteban is another name for Estevanico, a slave from the early 1500s who was supposedly the first man born in Africa to set foot in the Americas. Estevanico (or Esteban) became a legendary figure in Latin America, and was later given a set of incredible skills ââ¬â he mastered dozens of languages, knew everything about medicine, was even considered by some to be a deity, or so the story goes. When the women of the village call the drowned man Esteban, they might very well be referring to this Estevanico. (At the end of the story, the women magine a captain speaking of Estebans village in fourteen languages (12). This may be a reference to the myth that Estevanico spoke so many languages fluently. ) When the oldest women calls the drowned man Esteban, Marquez writes that some of the younger women hoped it might be Lautaro. In the mid 1500s a war occurred in what today is Chile between the colonizing Spaniards and the native Mapuche people. In this conflict, Lautaro was a military leader of the natives. The drowned mans handsomeness and sheer masculinity inspires the young women to fantasize that he is this famed leader. There are some interesting questions to consider here: why is it that the older womens thoughts turn to the Esteban, while the younger women think of Lautaro? And why is it that, once they get a better look at the drowned man, everyone agrees that it is Esteban, rather than Lautaro? Many scholars have also pointed out that the drowned man is a shade of Quetzalcoatl, an Aztec god. The drowned man in many ways takes on the role of a deity for the villagers. He arrives from some other world (the sea), is essentially worshipped by the villagers, and permanently changes their lives. Mythology in this story isnt limited just to the drowned man. The entire tale is rooted in mythological history; even the villagers take on mythological roles themselves by the end of the narrative. When the women weep for the drowned man at his funeral, Marquez writes, Some sailors who heard weeping from a distance went off course and people heard of one who had himself tied to the mainmast, remembering ancient fables about sirens (12). This comment is an allusion to Greek mythology. Some background on the sirens. The sirens were half-women, half-bird creatures who lived on an island. They used to sing in beautiful voices to lure sailors off their course. The sailors would head towards the voices and then crash their ships on the jagged rocks, which pretty much meant death. When Odysseus was sailing by the sirens island, he made the rest of his men plug up their ears and tie him to the mainmast. This way, he got to hear the beautiful sound of their voices without being driven to suicide. Here in The Handsomest Drowned Man, the women weeping over Lautaro are compared to the sirens, and some sailor going by ties himself to the main mast in an attempt to mimic Odysseus. The point is that through the drowned man, the villagers enter the realm of the mythological themselves. The allusions to Esteban, Lautaro, Quetzalcoatl, and Odysseuss sirens illustrates the magical realism weve been mentioning. (If you havent read Genre yet, go ahead and take a look. ) The Handsomest Drowned Man in the World is exploring this mingling of the real (a little fishing village) with the mythological (a magnificent dead man). Flowers The first thing we hear about the village is that its made up of twenty-odd wooden houses that had stone courtyards with no flowers [â⬠¦] on the end of a desertlike cape (3). Now jump to the womens speculations about the drowned mans abilities: He would have put so much work into his land that springs would have burst forth from among the rocks so that he would have been able to plant flowers on the cliffs (4). Immediately weve got contrast between the world of the villagers and that of the drowned man. His arrival is like a splash of color against their grey landscape. If the village is dry and colorless, the drowned man brings with him the possibility of lively springs and bright flowers. And sure enough, this possibility is soon realized. As the women prepare for the drowned mans funeral, they go to get flowers from neighboring villages. They return with other women who could not believe what they had been told, and those women went back for more flowers when they saw the dead man, and they brought more and more until there were so many flowers and so many people that it was hard to walk about (12). At the end of the story, notice the specific details of the villagers dream for a better future: They were going to paint their house fronts gay colors to make Estebans memory eternal and they were going to break their backs digging for springs mong the stones and planting flowers on the cliffs so that in future years at dawn the passengers on great liners would awaken, suffocated by the smell of gardens on the high seas. (12) This is a far cry from the desertlike cape we first met at the beginning of the story. The flowers touch on one of the major themes of Marquezs story: the ability of the truly great to inspire others to greatness. What does this have to do with flowers?

Nelson Mandelaââ¬â¢s inaugural address was delivered outdoors in an amphitheatre on 10th May 1994 at the Union Buildings, South Africa. The Union Buildings housed the first democratically elected, first black and first equal president of South Africa. This historic event was attended by politicians and dignitaries from over 140 countries all over the world, such as Bill Clinton, the President of the United States at the time, and John Mayor, British PM at the time. This address was to show that after years of oppression, blacks and coloureds were no longer separated from whites and the country was starting to become united as one. Fourteen years after this celebrated address, new Labor Prime Minister of Australia after ten years of Liberalâ⬠¦show more contentâ⬠¦Yet both politicians lower their inflection or speed up dring talking about the negatives to acknowledge them yet not dwell on the past. Nelson Mandela pauses on the light and dark aspects of the speech to accentua te the importance of each and to let the audience reflect on each. e.g. poverty (p) deprivation (p) suffering (p). Both speakers and speeches impact the audience in much the same ways. In Mandelaââ¬â¢s speech it is trying to unite the whole country as equals instead of segregated groups. Mandela makes the audience remember the troubles of the past yet at the same time look forward to the future. In Ruddââ¬â¢s address he does the same by apologizing from the ancestors actions of the non-indigenous population of Australia but at the same time he looks towards the future, to a more peaceful future. Yet both audiences receive the information act differently. In South Africa there were jubilant scenes throughout the nation and when President Mandela was actually delivering his speech he is interrupted by cheering admirers. But in Ruddââ¬â¢s audience he was never interrupted and there were was less reaction around the country than South Africa In conclusion, these speeches inspire me as it reminds me tha while there will always be antagonist and make trouble, there are still people who can even after all the hardships and tragedies of the past, they can look past it in pride and forgive and also look forward to lawrencebrooks197http://www.blogger.com/profile/17888652601094015526noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357669369016965456.post-90246877232328884742020-05-05T22:12:00.001-07:002020-05-05T22:12:10.246-07:00Video Report for Journal of Hospital Infection - MyAssignmenthelp Question: Discuss about theVideo Report for Journal of Hospital Infection. Answer: IV Priming is required in replacing the fluids, preventing nutritional imbalances and in providing IV medication theory (Van Der Eijk et al. 2014). The video explains the process of Priming IV line and IV therapy but neglects the privacy concerns. Maintaining privacy is an essential part of making videos. The videos must hide the identity of the patients in order to ensure privacy. However, the video did not maintain privacy that might lead to discomfort or conflicts. Another mistake in the video was that the five moments for hand hygiene was not maintained. The five moments for hand hygiene includes washing hands before touching the patients, before the cleaning procedure, after touching patients body fluid, after touching the patient and after touching the surroundings of the patient. These approaches were not taken into consideration in the entire video. These five moments of hand hygiene are an essential part of the work of the health care workers (Gould et al. 2017). Ignorance of any one aspect of the hand hygiene might lead to unwanted consequences for both the patient and the health worker. Maintaining hand hygiene is an essential practice that relates to the administration of medical care that helps in preventing or minimizing the spreading of diseases. The major purpose of maintaining hand hygiene is to remove pathogens and chemicals from the hands that might harm the patient as well as the health worker (Rai et al. 2017). Another major mistake in the video was that it did not mention air embolism although it was ensured that the line is free from air. Air embolism refers to the situation when air bubbles enter the blood vessels that block the supply of blood in the veins (McCarthy et al. 2017). Air embolism often leads to death of the patients as it can cause heart attacks, respiratory failures and stroke. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent air embolism while inserting the syringe or IV. Proper training is required to be given to the health workers and doctors in order to avoid the entrance of air bubbles in the veins of the patients during medical procedures (Alisantoso et al. 2015). Ignoring this aspect might risk the health of the patients. However, the video neglects the critical aspect of air embolism that might provide wrong knowledge to the viewers regarding Priming IV line and IV therapy. Lastly, the information regarding heart diseases and kidney failures were not asked in the video. It is necessary to ask the patients regarding any heart or kidney problems they have suffered from in the past. In order to ensure safety of the patients, it becomes necessary to know their medical background. Improper medication might further deteriorate the medical condition of the patients (Sherwin et al. 2014). Therefore, the health workers must obtain proper knowledge of the medical background of the patients in order to ensure that they provide proper medication to the patients. However, the video neglects this concern that might provide wrong information to the viewers. Any wrong information provided to the users might risk the health of the patients.

Iââ¬â¢ve hit snooze about three times already; if I donââ¬â¢t get up now Iââ¬â¢ll be late for class. I question what state of mind I must have been in to sign up for an 8:00 AM and two classes immediately following it. I find my phone, turn off my alarm and begin to look at what all I had missed during the whole six hours I was asleep. Thereââ¬â¢s always something; the online world never sleeps. I check everything: my messages, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook and even my emails. We will write a custom essay on The Genres of My Life specifically for you for only $16.38 $13.9/page Order now This wonââ¬â¢t be the last time though; Iââ¬â¢ll check them all over again in about an hour and then several more times within the hours to follow. As awful as it is, Iââ¬â¢m always on my phone. Itââ¬â¢s such a great way to stay in touch with people, and it makes so many different genres of communication available to me. I roll out of bed, run a brush through my hair, brush my teeth and try to put a little makeup on. I see that I have two new text messages from my boyfriend that lives in Orlando. I quickly respond to his text saying, ââ¬Å"Good morning!!! As I walk out the door for my first class at approximately 7:48 AM, I text my close friend who is in it with me. I let her know that Iââ¬â¢m on my way to her dorm. Then, about one hundred feet from her building Iââ¬â¢ll text her again letting her know that Iââ¬â¢ve arrived. As early as it is, Iââ¬â¢ve already used one genre of communication: text messaging. This is easily the most common form of communication used by people who are not physically with each other. It is possible that a genre has sub-genres within itself. For example, my boyfriend and I being long distance, our relationship depends heavily on texting. Since weââ¬â¢re so comfortable texting each other, the way I text him is a lot different than how I text other people. We have very casual conversations. With him, I may abbreviate words and not worry much about my grammar or sentence structure. This is much different than how Iââ¬â¢d text a classmate or someone else I was less familiar with. For them, I would be a lot more formal. I would be careful with the words that I choose and make sure to use proper grammar. Before sending the text I would reread it to make sure that no mistakes were made. Surprisingly, my friend and I manage to get to class a few minutes early. We find seats in the large lecture hall and sit down. I pull out my phone and, as I said I would, go through and check my social media to pass the time, as if I missed something since I last checked each of them forty-five minutes ago. I open twitter and scroll through the new tweets. I see that someone has tweeted ââ¬Å"Why did I sign up for an 8:00 AM again? â⬠I laugh to myself because I remember thinking the exact same thing this morning. I retweet their tweet and continue scrolling. Although twitter isnââ¬â¢t often thought of as a form of communication, it is a great way to connect with people. For me, itââ¬â¢s how I stay connected with everyone I went to high school with. You can tell by their tweets how theyââ¬â¢re doing and what theyââ¬â¢re up to. Itââ¬â¢s an easy way to stay updated about peopleââ¬â¢s lives without actually having to stay in constant contact with them. Class starts, so I put away my phone and begin to take notes. However, it isnââ¬â¢t long until my ADD kicks in and I find it impossible to pay attention. I take my phone back out and check Instagram. I look through the pictures posted within the last twelve hours and see that there was a lot going on last night. I see that Kappa Sigma had a date function last night and my friend dressed like a jogger, another friend got thrown in the fountain for her birthday, and I see Kim Kardashianââ¬â¢s latest selfie. Instagram is where people post memorable pictures for their followers to see. Again, the people I follow are mostly people from high school. Itââ¬â¢s another way to stay updated with what everyone is doing, but in the form of pictures. Class comes to an end. I pack up my stuff and head off to what will be my second class of the day. The class is just across the street from where my first one was so I get there with plenty of time to spare. .u818cecf91f1f96b1ccb8cb29a0f0eb11 , .u818cecf91f1f96b1ccb8cb29a0f0eb11 .postImageUrl , .u818cecf91f1f96b1ccb8cb29a0f0eb11 .centered-text-area { min-height: 80px; position: relative; } .u818cecf91f1f96b1ccb8cb29a0f0eb11 , .u818cecf91f1f96b1ccb8cb29a0f0eb11:hover , .u818cecf91f1f96b1ccb8cb29a0f0eb11:visited , .u818cecf91f1f96b1ccb8cb29a0f0eb11:active { border:0!important; } .u818cecf91f1f96b1ccb8cb29a0f0eb11 .clearfix:after { content: ""; display: table; clear: both; } .u818cecf91f1f96b1ccb8cb29a0f0eb11 { display: block; transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; width: 100%; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #95A5A6; } .u818cecf91f1f96b1ccb8cb29a0f0eb11:active , .u818cecf91f1f96b1ccb8cb29a0f0eb11:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #2C3E50; } .u818cecf91f1f96b1ccb8cb29a0f0eb11 .centered-text-area { width: 100%; position: relative ; } .u818cecf91f1f96b1ccb8cb29a0f0eb11 .ctaText { border-bottom: 0 solid #fff; color: #2980B9; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-decoration: underline; } .u818cecf91f1f96b1ccb8cb29a0f0eb11 .postTitle { color: #FFFFFF; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 100%; } .u818cecf91f1f96b1ccb8cb29a0f0eb11 .ctaButton { background-color: #7F8C8D!important; color: #2980B9; border: none; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: none; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 26px; moz-border-radius: 3px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; text-shadow: none; width: 80px; min-height: 80px; background: url(https://artscolumbia.org/wp-content/plugins/intelly-related-posts/assets/images/simple-arrow.png)no-repeat; position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0; } .u818cecf91f1f96b1ccb8cb29a0f0eb11:hover .ctaButton { background-color: #34495E!important; } .u818cecf91f1f96b1ccb8cb29a0f0eb11 .centered-text { display: table; height: 80px; padding-left : 18px; top: 0; } .u818cecf91f1f96b1ccb8cb29a0f0eb11 .u818cecf91f1f96b1ccb8cb29a0f0eb11-content { display: table-cell; margin: 0; padding: 0; padding-right: 108px; position: relative; vertical-align: middle; width: 100%; } .u818cecf91f1f96b1ccb8cb29a0f0eb11:after { content: ""; display: block; clear: both; } READ: Media Violence And Its Effects On Children EssayI find a seat and get out my phone for the fourth time today. This time I open Snapchat. This app allows people to communicate using pictures and videos. Once you take it, you can choose to either add a caption or draw on your picture or video. This allows people to communicate in a fun and creative way. The app also allows everyone to have a ââ¬Å"snapstoryâ⬠where they can post these pictures and videos. The coolest thing about Snapchat is that each picture and video only stays on a personââ¬â¢s snapstory for twenty-four hours. After that, it erases and can no longer be seen, but until then people can watch the sna p-stories as much as they want. Snapchat is a newer form of social media and probably my favorite. It makes it possible for people to capture moments of their day and share them with all of their friends. I can see pictures that people post from parties or I can literally watch a video of my friend getting thrown in the Westcott fountain because it was her birthday. About the same time that Iââ¬â¢ve run out of snap-stories to watch, it is time for my next class to begin. I find this class more interesting than my last, so I manage to keep my phone away for most of it. It isnââ¬â¢t until the break in between this class and my next that I pull it out again. Now I go on Facebook. Facebook was one of the original forms of social media. Facebook was more popular for my age group back when I was in middle school, but it is still widely used today. I scroll through my feed and see tons of status updates, shared articles and pictures posted by practically everyone Iââ¬â¢ve ever known. I donââ¬â¢t do much posting on this website but I do enjoy seeing what old friends are up to by looking through their most recent pictures. Unlike Instagram, people post multiple pictures at a time. And unlike Snapchat, the pictures and videos do not get taken down after twenty-four hours. For me, Facebook is the way I stay in touch with family for the most part. I love seeing videos of my little cousin Annabelle as she grows each month, hearing about the snowfall from my family up North and seeing status updates from my cousin and her husband who are living in Turkey for two years while they teach students English and travel around Europe during their time off. After the shooting at the Strozier Library, I immediately posted a status that let all of my family and friends know that I was safe after the tragic incident. Facebook is a genre that makes communicating with a large number of people extremely easy. With time still left to spare, I realize that Iââ¬â¢ve run out of social media sites to check. I then see that I have thirteen new emails. I open them and see ten emails from various stores and websites. I also see an email from my Statistics professor letting us know that class has been cancelled for the following day, an email from my dad asking for the information on the apartment I plan on living in next year and an email from my dentist reminding me of my appointment coming up later in the week. Although I rarely use this form of communication, it is a good way to get in touch with my parents while theyââ¬â¢re at work. It is an even better way to communicate with my professors, other than face-to-face interaction. Like text messaging, there are different sub-genres of emailing. If I am emailing my father about something while he is at work, I will make it short and simply state the question that I must ask him. Whereas emailing a professor, I will start with a greeting and be more detailed with what I am saying. .u714ff6e1bb4ca3c9ee20c27c5f8e493d , .u714ff6e1bb4ca3c9ee20c27c5f8e493d .postImageUrl , .u714ff6e1bb4ca3c9ee20c27c5f8e493d .centered-text-area { min-height: 80px; position: relative; } .u714ff6e1bb4ca3c9ee20c27c5f8e493d , .u714ff6e1bb4ca3c9ee20c27c5f8e493d:hover , .u714ff6e1bb4ca3c9ee20c27c5f8e493d:visited , .u714ff6e1bb4ca3c9ee20c27c5f8e493d:active { border:0!important; } .u714ff6e1bb4ca3c9ee20c27c5f8e493d .clearfix:after { content: ""; display: table; clear: both; } .u714ff6e1bb4ca3c9ee20c27c5f8e493d { display: block; transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; width: 100%; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #95A5A6; } .u714ff6e1bb4ca3c9ee20c27c5f8e493d:active , .u714ff6e1bb4ca3c9ee20c27c5f8e493d:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #2C3E50; } .u714ff6e1bb4ca3c9ee20c27c5f8e493d .centered-text-area { width: 100%; position: relative ; } .u714ff6e1bb4ca3c9ee20c27c5f8e493d .ctaText { border-bottom: 0 solid #fff; color: #2980B9; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-decoration: underline; } .u714ff6e1bb4ca3c9ee20c27c5f8e493d .postTitle { color: #FFFFFF; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 100%; } .u714ff6e1bb4ca3c9ee20c27c5f8e493d .ctaButton { background-color: #7F8C8D!important; color: #2980B9; border: none; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: none; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 26px; moz-border-radius: 3px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; text-shadow: none; width: 80px; min-height: 80px; background: url(https://artscolumbia.org/wp-content/plugins/intelly-related-posts/assets/images/simple-arrow.png)no-repeat; position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0; } .u714ff6e1bb4ca3c9ee20c27c5f8e493d:hover .ctaButton { background-color: #34495E!important; } .u714ff6e1bb4ca3c9ee20c27c5f8e493d .centered-text { display: table; height: 80px; padding-left : 18px; top: 0; } .u714ff6e1bb4ca3c9ee20c27c5f8e493d .u714ff6e1bb4ca3c9ee20c27c5f8e493d-content { display: table-cell; margin: 0; padding: 0; padding-right: 108px; position: relative; vertical-align: middle; width: 100%; } .u714ff6e1bb4ca3c9ee20c27c5f8e493d:after { content: ""; display: block; clear: both; } READ: Internet it's effects in our lives and the future EssayI will use proper grammar and sentence structure also. Once Iââ¬â¢ve finished with what I need to say I will thank them for their time and write my full name at the bottom of the email. I will take the time to proofread the email before I send it as well. Emails, although not as popular as they were in earlier years, are an excellent way to communicate with people over the Internet. Finally, as my last class of the day begins, I put away my phone. This class is smaller and more interactive, so Iââ¬â¢ll have to stay off of it the entire time. For this class I use a completely different, and easily the most important, form of communication: face-to-face conversation. This is one of the most undervalued forms of communication. I sit and listen to my professor talk about what all weââ¬â¢re going to do with our time in class today. After, she breaks us up into groups so we can evaluate a short story and answer follow up questions. After reading to ourselves, my group members and I begin discussing what weââ¬â¢ve just read. The way I talk to my group members is different than how Iââ¬â¢d talk to other people. I talk to them in a much more formal manner since this is the first time Iââ¬â¢ve talked to most of them. I will put more thought into the words I say and our conversation will pertain to what weââ¬â¢ve just read. This is different than how Iââ¬â¢d talk to a friend. With them, the conversation would be more casual and I would be more comfortable saying the first thing that comes to my mind. Also, the conversation wouldnââ¬â¢t be contained to one specific subject. Each group wraps up their discussion and we briefly talk as a class. Time runs out and weââ¬â¢re told by our professor to have a good weekend. As I step out of the classroom, I get a phone call from my mom. Sheââ¬â¢s on her lunch break and just wanted to check in. We talk about how my classes are going and how Iââ¬â¢m doing money wise. She also catches me up on things that are going on at home: my little sister just made the varsity softball team as a freshman and my other sister just got her first job. Like texting and emails, the way I talk to my mom is completely different than how I talk on the phone with my boyfriend. And even that is completely different than how Iââ¬â¢d talk to someone I wasnââ¬â¢t close with, like an employer. With my boyfriend, our phone conversations are very casual. Iââ¬â¢ll call him periodically throughout the day to ask him something or just to check in if Iââ¬â¢m lonely or bored. Our conversations are very scattered. A lot of times I interrupt him because I think of something that Iââ¬â¢d been meaning to ask him for a while. If I were to do that to my mother she would drive up to Tallahassee just to yell at me. The way I would talk to an employer is also a lot different than my phone conversations with both my mom and my boyfriend. With an employer, I would figure out what I was going to say before I call. I might even write it down. I would be extremely cordial and polite. Before hanging up I would thank them for their time and possibly answering a question I had asked. And I most definitely would not end the call with ââ¬Å"I love you. â⬠As I hang up the phone with my mom, I think about my day. Iââ¬â¢ve been up for a total of four hours and have already used eight different genres of communication. Each one is unique, but serves the same purpose: to connect me with the people in my life. lawrencebrooks197http://www.blogger.com/profile/17888652601094015526noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357669369016965456.post-57388293282107240882020-03-13T17:23:00.001-07:002020-03-13T17:23:03.016-07:00Book Cover Design Advice and InspirationBook Cover Design Advice and Inspiration The level of digital media rapidly increases every day, but take a trip to your local bookstore and youll probably notice that print design is still alive and well. Although I love working in both digital and print media, theres something special about being able to hold a beautifully designed printed object in your hands, and some of the best and most unique designs in the field today are found on the covers of books.Designing a great book cover can be a challenge- in order for your design to be effective, it has to creatively represent the material inside while being distinct enough to grab the attention of a viewer and make a significant impact. Because of the complexities of the various different kinds of books, designing book covers can be a valuable exercise to practice your design thinking skills. Here are a few tips to get you on your way to designing stunning covers.Start with a conceptThe best way to get started on a book design is to develop a solid concept that reflects t he overall key message or tone of the book. Thoroughly understanding the content and the goal of the content are critical steps in making a successful cover. In order to do this, its a good idea for you to actually read the content if its available to you or if time allows. Even if you have a fast-approaching deadline or the content is complicated, there are still ways you can gain a true understanding of the content without reading it word-for-word. Read summaries or synopses, character sheets, reviewsââ¬âbasically, any material you can get your hands on in order to really comprehend the book.Next, its time to translate themes and messages of the content into visuals. There are a few different techniques to do this, but my favorite is to develop a mood board- itll help you organize any visual inspiration you get from the content. Go through your content and make a list of adjectives that describe the tone or overall feeling. Some example adjectives might be dark, mysterious, pl ayful, hopeful, serious, noir, classic, scholarly, and funny. Find any recurring objects, settings, motifs, or important scenes and add them to your board. You might find that these words and images start to evoke certain color palettes or typefaces that you can start to explore. The goal of your mood board is to create a visual picture of the content and its meaning which you can draw inspiration from. Generally, covers that are more symbolic tend to be more visually interesting than literal cover designs, so think about how you can represent themes with a subtle visual metaphor that might intrigue a reader. Understanding the tone of your book will help you to create visuals for your cover that are appropriate for the content and that hint at the overall theme. Think of the cover as a sneak peek for the reader- the first chance to draw them into whatever is inside.Stick to your genreKeeping the genre of your book in mind is important- the cover of a mystery novel looks very differe nt from a textbook or childrens book, and it might contain different information with a different hierarchy. Depending on the genre, youll have a different audience to cater to and should design with this audience in mind. For example, a young adult novel cover should appeal to teenagers, so you might use a more youthful design or employ trendier colors and typefaces. For a nonfiction book about politics, the cover you design might feel more formal and academic. Keeping the design applicable to the genre helps readers to quickly understand what kind of book it is and what kind of content theyll find inside.Take a look at other book covers in your genre to see what kinds of techniques they use. This can provide a bit of inspiration, but it can also help you to avoid repeating concepts that have already been done or using common visual clichà ©s which show up frequently within the genre. For example, mystery novels often use doors, long shadows, dead trees, etc.- this doesnt mean tha t you cant use these elements, but your cover will stand out more if you find a way to fit within the genre while still being unique. Try putting a new spin on a clichà © or use unexpected visuals or type treatments.Keep it simpleOne of the biggest mistakes I see with novice book cover designs is trying to do too many things at once. Keep typefaces, colors, and information to a minimum- remember, you only have a few seconds to grab the attention of a reader. This doesnt mean that you have to create a minimal design, but making sure the elements of your cover arent overwhelming together is critical to a professional-looking design.Make sure your layout has a clear hierarchy- this will help a reader navigate through the presented information and understand it easier and faster. Keep all copy as legible and easy-to-read as possible- this is especially important if youre given a lot of copy to put on the cover. Contrasting your type and imagery can help create a pleasant visual balance . For example, if you choose a busy, complicated image as a background, contrast that with a simple typeface so that the two dont compete. Relate the placement of your type with the image so that the design feels intentional and cohesive. The two should work together harmoniously so that the cover feels great and cohesive as a whole.Dont forget productionProduction is another important aspect of book cover design to keep in mind. Make sure you know the specifications of your book cover- this includes things like spine width, bleed, margins and safe areas, and where the barcode will go. Having this information before you start designing will help save time and hassle in the long run.There are a variety of binding and finishing options that can elevate your design and get a passerby to pick it up. Depending on the project budget (and how much control you have in the production process), elements like spot gloss, foil stamping, coatings, and embossing can be options to consider. Howeve r, as a general rule, I would avoid using too many of these options at once- simplicity is key to keep your cover from looking too gimmicky or overwhelming. The production of your book cover should feel as intentional and thought-out as the design itself so that nothing feels like an afterthought or out of place.When deciding on finishing options, I like to stop by bookstores and take notes on what other books are doing- what kind of paper they use, whether the covers are matte or gloss, what elements are embossed, etc. This can help inspire you on where finishing would be best-suited on your design. Be sure to discuss production with your client and/or printer to see what options are feasible for the timeline and budget of the project youre working on.Break the rulesOnce you have the basics of design and layout down, dont hesitate to try something completely unconventional or risky. Some of the most successful book covers take this unorthodox approach in ways that make sense for th eir content. Try altering the orientation of the text, losing the margins, or making the text really big or really small. Use jarring or impactful imagery, die cut holes in the cover, or spread the title over the whole front and back. Breaking the rules doesnt work in every situation, but it can allow you a little more artistic freedom to explore and push the memorability of your cover. Doing something bold with the cover is a great way to prompt a reader to pick up a book.Practice!In my opinion, book cover design is one of the best (and most fun!) ways to practice your overall design skills, especially if youre new to the field. Covers require critical thinking, concepting, sketching, typography, layout, and production- skills that can be applied to many other projects. And unlike other mock projects, its fairly easy to develop a fake brief for a book cover assignment. Try redesigning an existing book, or use a site like Plot Generator to develop fake titles and blurbs. Doing a han dful of fake covers as a personal project can help you to improve your skills and provides great portfolio work when youre just starting out. And, because the projects are your own, youll have more freedom to try new things than you might with a real-life client.Below are three fake book covers I designed for three different genres. Each one uses a different stylistic approach and organizes the information differently.This cover for a made-up thriller uses bold, brushed typography and a subtle textural background of a city. The pop of yellow color conveys a sense of urgency and helps the title stand out over the mysterious background.Just because a book is educational or instructional, doesnt mean it cant be beautifully designed. I designed this cooking guide to be simple, using only blue and white, to create an approachable feel for new chefs. The clean, sparse typography contrasts nicely with the more detailed vintage illustrations which make the book feel classic and timeless.For a romance novel, I went with a minimal approach that uses warm colors and lots of white space. I pulled the simple circles off the edge of the cover to reference a sun setting, and the overlapping circles create a sense of connection and movement.Book cover design can be a difficult and complex process, but keeping these few guidelines in mind will help you to create more successful and meaningful covers. lawrencebrooks197http://www.blogger.com/profile/17888652601094015526noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357669369016965456.post-19976378529078028932020-02-26T07:49:00.001-08:002020-02-26T07:49:02.092-08:00Can event management education in the UK successfully prepare for Literature reviewCan event management education in the UK successfully prepare for industry professionals of the future - Literature review Example . Types of event management: McDonnell I (1999) says that in order to be successful in the field of event management, no matter what department of specialization one needs certain qualities which are as follows: Negotiating skills. Creative skills. Convincing skills. Coordinating skills. Planning skills. Executing and implementing skills. According to Royal C (1998) there is a list of the varied events that are organized by the cross section of event companies: Business events, Corporate events. Cause related events, Coordinating skills, Fundraising events, Exhibitions, Trade fairs, The Structure of the events industry: Foley P (1996) says that the rapid growth of events in the past decade led to the formation of an identifiable event industry with its own practitioners, suppliers and professional associations. The emergence of the industry has involved the identification and refinement of a discrete body of knowledge of the industryââ¬â¢s best practice accompanied by a period of rapid globalization of markets and communication which has affected the nature of and trends within the industry. Further it has been accompanied by an era of increasing government regulation, which has resulted in a complex and demanding operational environment. The following section describes the key components of the event industry. Begrudge G (2006) says that the events are often staged or hosted by event organizations which may be event specific bodies such as the Harrogate International Festival or the Glastonbury Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts. Other events are run by special teams within larger organizations such as BBC Good Food Show organized by BBC Haymarket Exhibitions or ITMA 2003 which was organized by a team within the NEC Group. Corporate Events are often organized by in-house event teams or by project teams within the companies that are putting on the event. Event management education and Training: According to Walters P (2008) as the size and the needs of the event industry have grown event management training has started to emerge as a discrete discipline. In the early years of the industry the field was characterized by a large number of volunteers. Those event managers who obtained paid positions came from a variety of related disciplines, drawing on their knowledge gained form that discipline and skills learnt on the job. As industry has grown a lot and government is allocating funds for event management industry, this leads a high demand of professional and educated event managers. Event management seems to be an easy job but without having a professional degree, sometimes it becomes really tough to defend the situation. Students have great opportunities after achieving event management degree. Client comes in a company with raw ideas, only a professional event manager can understand their ideas correctly. There is a process that needs to be followed by event managers for confirming the requirements of the client. Students achi eving degree of event management has great opportunities in market as event management is becoming a bright career for them. Now it becomes possible by the event managers to change client dream in reality about their events i.e. concert, lawrencebrooks197http://www.blogger.com/profile/17888652601094015526noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357669369016965456.post-19180821731499026442020-02-10T00:36:00.001-08:002020-02-10T00:36:02.922-08:00Argument essay about fast food Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 750 wordsArgument about fast food - Essay Example Behind them lies a simple explanation for why eating a hamburger can now make you seriously ill: There is shit in the meat.â⬠à (Schlosser, p.196) No successful business, rather union, in this world would ever give away its most prized secrets in the name of benefit for humanity. Yet the consumers choose to ignore the bitter truth for a sweet taste. Their secret ingredients are full of not-so-secret health toxins that promote obesity, increased deposition of cholesterol promoting arteriosclerosis, hypertension, insulin resistance, diabetes and other fatal cardiac disorders. A more sedentary lifestyle contributes to an increase in these rates. An office job has you hooked to a desk and a chair with a flat Liquid Crystal Display right in front of your eyes. Which means a highly sedentary life style; this when triggered with intake of only fast foods can build up toxin pressure inside the body and slow atrophy. ââ¬Å"The war on foodborne pathogens deserves the sort of national attention and resources that has been devoted to the war on drugs. Far more Americans are severely harmed every year by food poisoning than by illegal drug use. And the harms caused by food poisoning are usually inadvertent and unanticipated. People who smoke crack know the potential dangers; most people who eat hamburgers donââ¬â¢t. Eating in the United States should no longer be a form of high-risk behavior.â⬠(Schlosser, p.264) Hundreds of thousands of dollars are spent each year in health care facilities, if a small portion of this percentage is allocated to restore health guaranteeing meat and other raw materials in the fast food or even if these fast foods are banned altogether a significant decline in mortality rate can be observed. Moreover consumption of fast food as a daily habit helps in generating a disabled world.

Standing at 4 meters in height and 7 meters in width, the painting no doubt commands attention and gives off a majestic aura. Any viewer of the painting will feel dwarfed by the large painting and may feel overwhelmed by the magnanimity of it. The next thing youll notice about the Spoliarium is the rich colors used. Predominantly, the painter made use of warm colors for his work of art, with reds being a central color that attracts the most attention. In person, the colors are striking and quite unique. The Spoliarium depicts an even during the Roman empire, where gladiators die for entertainment. The painting shows how gladiators are being dragged mercilessly by men towards an unknown darkness, where other tragically killed gladiators are brought. To the left is a cheering crowd, screaming for blood while to the right, a woman is crouched and seemingly in sorrow. The painting shows a tragic event, definitely. But it also shows a deeper meaning, especially for the Filipinos during the time of the Spanish colonization (which lasted over 400 years! ). According to art experts, the fallen gladiators who are being dragged are the Filipino people, while the men dragging them into the darkness are representative of the Spanish rule. The woman crouched on the right side of the painting is believed to be the Mother Country or the Inang Bayan who weeps for her Philippines. The blood thirsty crowd to the left is a representation of the social cancer of that time. Truly, there is more than meets the eye when it comes to Lunas painting. The Spoliarium shows the Spanish governments mistreatment of the Philippines. The dead bodies of the gladiators represent the Spanish killings of Filipino revolutionaries. The Spoliarium is famous among the Filipino people, to say the least. The fact that Luna had gained recognition among other Spaniards in Madrid because of this painting has given the Filipinos great pride. This also shows that the Filipinos have skills that can equal, if not, surpass the Europeans of that time. This is why the painting, along with Hidalgos, are deemed National Cultural Treasures, because they were able to contribute to the development of art in the Philippines. The Spoliarium can be found in the Hall of the Masters of The National Museum of the Philippines. Whether you are a foreigner or a local, take a few hours off your schedule to visit the museum and learn more about Philippine culture and history through the eyes of its artists.

In this essay Iââ¬â¢m going to explain why. In the extract, squealer is trying to convince the animals that the pigs are doing everything for the animals and for the farm. The pigs are taking all the privileges on the farm for themselves. Squealer threatens the animals by saying ââ¬Ëdo you know what would happen if we pigs failed in our duty? Jones would come back! Yes, jones would come back!ââ¬â¢ He uses rhetorical questions on this as he doesnââ¬â¢t want the animals to answer him because he doesnââ¬â¢t want them to think. He will do the thinking for them. The animals defineately donââ¬â¢t want mr jones back and squealer scares the animals into thinking that theyââ¬â¢re doing all they can to prevent jones coming back. He uses this to control the animals. Squealer tries the convince the animals that they are sacrificial in what they do and by eating the milk and apples they arnt a privelege but its a ââ¬Ëhardshipââ¬â¢. ââ¬ËYou do not imagine. I hope we pigs are doing the selfishness and privilege?ââ¬â¢- he tells lies and convinces the animals that this is the way it should be. Heââ¬â¢s responsible for the change on animal farm as he tells the animals what napoleon told him to and because the animals are so gullible they just believe him. He exploits the animals in jonesââ¬â¢ return. When he is first introduced he was a ââ¬Ëbrilliant talkerââ¬â¢. The animals said he could ââ¬Ëturn black into whiteââ¬â¢ meaning he makes bad things look good. His importance is clearly suggested. His introduction to the fable is longer than snowballs or napoleons. Squealer is napoleons henchman and will ensure that napoleon becomes more unapproachable and secure. His leadership presented is as ââ¬Ësacrifices ââ¬Ë, ââ¬Ëextra labourââ¬â¢ not a ââ¬Ëpleasureââ¬â¢ but a ââ¬Ëdeep and heavy reasonsibility.ââ¬â¢ After napoleons announcement, squealer made a round of the farm and set the animalââ¬â¢s ââ¬Ëmind rest.ââ¬â¢ His confidence ââ¬Ëassured themââ¬â¢, persuading them to doubt their own memories asking ââ¬Ëhave you and recordâ⬠¦Ã¢â¬â¢ And ââ¬Ëis it written?ââ¬â¢ When the pigs move into the farmhouse, squealer persuades by whatà seems ââ¬Ëlogicalââ¬â¢ arguments. The pigs who were ââ¬Ëthe brainsââ¬â¢ are justified, they deserve priveleges as squealer agues. Squealers ââ¬Ëexcellent speechesââ¬â¢ are partly clichà ©s, ââ¬Ëjoy of serviceââ¬â¢ ââ¬Ëdignity of labourââ¬â¢. Here propaganda is less effective than inspiration example boxer. When challenged by boxes, squealer uses napoleon as the supreme authority. Squealers manipulation of historical evidence is crucial to his success. As usual, he has brilliant tactics- vivid account effective ââ¬Ëperformanceââ¬â¢ questions making animals doubt themselves. When boxer dies the animals are very sad and squealer uses euphemistic termonology ââ¬Ëreadjustmentââ¬â¢ rather that ââ¬Ëreductionââ¬â¢. This is a deliberate and effective distortion of the truth. The animals were glad to believe squealer as it was the easiest things to do so. Squealer is full of mock sympathy and uses it as an oppurtunity to praise napoleon and suggests his case for boxer. lawrencebrooks197http://www.blogger.com/profile/17888652601094015526noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357669369016965456.post-13185740788220471962020-01-06T03:49:00.001-08:002020-01-06T03:49:03.317-08:00High School Is The Best Time Of My Life - 970 Words My time throughout high school was the best time of my life, I wished I would have realized sooner how terrible of a student I was. I look back and think how much harder I could have tried, things I could have done different, and how it has changed me. I donââ¬â¢t have a single regret, because not only was it a lesson learned but it was humorous along the way. I was never the best person at studying, in fact I was terrible at it. I am the biggest procrastinator, the phrase, ââ¬Å"due tomorrow, do tomorrowâ⬠I know all too well. I knew I would have an upcoming assignment due, a test to study for, and I would still wait until the very last second to get it done it never failed.

The initial effects of abuse commonly reported by children include feelings of fear, shame, anger, rejection, hopelessness, and a perceived sense of worthlessness. However, many of these initial effects only increase over time and continue plaguing victims into adulthood. Adults experiencing long term effects of childhood sexual abuse report high frequencies of anxiety attacks, suicidal ideation, nightmares, depression, and an acute fear of trusting others. Fear of being re-victimized keeps them from functioning normally in society and forming meaningful, healthy relationships. Children who have experienced traumatic events often display alterations in their emotional responses to everyday situations, intrusive memories, and sleep disturbances after the traumatic experience. However, children with exposure to repeated or prolonged traumatic situations such as child abuse and domestic violence are more likely to suffer serious long-term stress reactions that impair their ability to function (Bremner et al., 2003). These children may display heightened emotional reactions to stimuli such as smells, sounds, or other sensory information that strongly resemble the cues present during their previous experiences of abuse and maltreatment. These cues are responsible for causing the intensified emotional and behavioralShow MoreRelatedEffects Of Childhood Sexual Abuse On Children1282 Words à |à 6 PagesDirect and Indirect Impacts The impact of Childhood Sexual Abuse is dependent in many ways depending on the type of and severity of the abuse.

Sexual abuse is painful and traumatic no matter who it happens to, but males who have been sexually abused often delay disclosure and carry their feelings around in silen ce or use avoidance coping strategies so they can try and live a normal life.

R. No. L-31455 February 28, 1985 FILIPINAS ENGINEERING AND MACHINE SHOP, Petitioner, vs. HON. JAIME N. FERRER, LINO PATAJO et. Al. Cuevas J. FACTS: In preparation for the national elections of November 11, 1969, then respondent Commissioners of the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) issued an INVITATION TO BID CALL No. 127 on September 16, 1969 calling for the submission of sealed proposals for the manufacture and delivery of 1 1,000 units of voting booths. Among the seventeen bidders who submitted proposals in response to the said INVITATION were the herein petitioner, Filipinos Engineering and Machine Shop, (Filipinas for short) and the private respondent, Acme Steel Manufacturing Company, (Acme for short). the COMELEC issued a Resolution awarding the contract (for voting booths) to Acme, subject to the condition, among others, that (Acme) improves the sample submitted in such manner as it would be rust proof or rust resistant. On October 11, 1969, the COMELEC issued Purchase Order No. 682 for the manufacture and supply of the 11,000 Units of voting booths in favor of Acme. Acme accepted the terms of the purchase. chanroblesvirtualawlibrary chanrobles virtual law library On October 16, 1969, Filipinas filed an Injunction suit with the then Court of First Instance of Manila, docketed as Civil Case No. 77972, against herein public respondents COMELEC Commissioners, chairman and members of the Comelec Bidding Committee, and private respondent Acme. hanroblesvirtualawlibrary chanrobles virtual law library Filipinas also applied for a writ of preliminary injunction. After hearing petitioners said application, the respondent Judge in an order dated October 20, 1969 denied the writ prayed for. Acting on the motion (to dismiss), the respondent Judge issued the questioned Order dismissing Civil Case No. 77972. Filipinas motion for reconsideration was denied for lack of merit. chanroblesvirtualawlibrary chanrobles virtual law library Hence, the instant appeal. chanroblesvirtualawlibrary chanrobles virtual law library Issues: Whether or not the lower court has jurisdiction to take cognizance of a suit involving an order of the COMELEC dealing with an award of contract arising from its invitation to bid; Whether or not Filipinas, the losing bidder, has a cause of action under the premises against the COMELEC and Acme, the winning bidder, to enjoin them from complying with their contract. chanroblesvirtualawlibrary chanrobles virtual law library s virtual law library Held: The Supreme Court resolved the first issue in the affirmative. By constitutional mandate- chanrobles virtual law library The Commission on Elections shall have exclusive charge of the enforcement and administration of all laws relative to the conduct of elections and shall exercise all other functions which may be conferred upon it by law Hence it has been consistently held 9 that it is the Supreme Court, not the Court of First Instance, which has exclusive jurisdiction to review on certiorari final decisions, orders or rulings of the COMELEC relative to the conduct of elections and enforcement of election laws. hanroblesvirtualawlibrary chanrobles virtual law library We are however, far from convince that an order of the COMELEC awarding a contract to a private party, as a result of its choice among various proposals submitted in response to its invitation to bid comes within the purview of a final order which is exclusively and directly appealable to this court on certiorari. What is contemplated by the term final orders, rulings and decisions of the COMELEC reviewable by certiorari by the Supreme Court as provided by law are those rendered in actions or proceedings before the COMELEC and taken cognizance of by the said body in the exercise of its adjudicatory or quasi-judicial powers. chanroblesvirtualawlibrary chanrobles virtual On the second issue, We rule that Filipinas, the losing bidder, has no cause of action under the premises to enjoin the COMELEC from pursuing its contract with Acme, the winning bidder. hanroblesvirtualawlibrary chanrobles virtual law library While it may be true that the lower court has the jurisdiction over controversies dealing with the COMELECs award of contracts, the same being purely administrative and civil in nature, nevertheless, herein petitioner has no cause of action on the basis of the allegations of its complaint. chanroblesvirtualawlibrary chanrobles virtual law library Indeed, while the law requires the exercise of sound discretion on the part of procurement authorities, 10 and that the reservation to reject any or all ids may not be used as a shield to a fraudulent award, 11 petitioner has miserably failed to prove or substantiate the existence of malice or fraud on the part of the public respondents in the challenged award. chanroblesvirtualawlibrary chanrobles virtual law library In issuing the resolution awarding the contract for voting booths in Acmes favor, the Commissioners of the COMELEC had taken into account that Acmes bid was the lowest; that Acme was a responsible manufacturer; and that upon an ocular inspection of the samples submitted by the bidders, Acmes sample was favorable chosen subject to certain conditions cited in the resolution. In fine, the public respondents properly exercised its sound discretion in making the award. chanroblesvirtualawlibrary chanrobles virtual law library WHEREFORE, finding the instant petition to be without merit aside from being moot and academic, the same is hereby DISMISSED. G. R. No. 108399 July 31, 1997 RAFAEL M. ALUNAN III et. al vs ROBERT MIRASOL, et. al FACTS: August 27, 1992, the Commission on Elections issued Resolution No. 499, providing guidelines for the holding of the general elections for the SK on September 30, 1992 The guidelines placed the SK elections under the direct control and supervision of the DILG, with the technical assistance of the COMELEC. 2 After two postponements, the elections were finally scheduled on December 4, 1992. Accordingly, registration in the six districts of Manila was conducted. A total of 152,363 youngsters, aged 15 to 21 years old, registered, 15,749 of them filing certificates of candidacies. The City Council passed the necessary appropria tions for the elections. On September 18, 1992, however, the DILG, through then Secretary Rafael M. Alunan III, issued a letter-resolution exemption the City of Manila from holding elections for the SK on the ground that the elections previously held on May 26, 1990 were to be considered the first under the newly-enacted Local Government Code. On November 27, 1992 private respondents, claiming to represent the 24,000 members of the Katipunan ng Kabataan, filed a petition for certiorari and mandamus in the RTC of Manila to set aside the resolution of the DILG. They argued that petitioner Secretary of Interior and Local Government had no power to amend the resolutions of the COMELEC calling for general elections for SKs and that the DILG resolution in question denied them the equal protection of the laws. On November 27, 1992, the trial court, through Executive Judge, now COMELEC Chairman, Bernardo P. Pardo, issued an injunction, ordering petitioners to desist from implementing the order of the respondent Secretary dated September 18, 1992, . . . until further orders of the Court. On the same day, he ordered petitioners to perform the specified pre-election activities in order to implement Resolution No. 2499 dated August 27, 1992 of the Commission on Elections providing for the holding of a general election of the Sangguniang Kabataan on December 4, 1992 simultaneously in every barangay throughout the country. The case was subsequently reraffled to Branch 36 of the same court. On January 19, 1993, the new judge, Hon. Wilfredo D. Reyes, re ndered a decision, holding that (1) the DILG had no power to exempt the City of Manila from holding SK elections on December 4, 1992 because under Art. IX, C, à §2(1) of the Constitution the power to enforce and administer all laws and regulations relative to the conduct of an election, plebiscite, initiative, referendum, and recall is vested solely in the COMELEC; (2) the COMELEC had already in effect determined that there had been no previous elections for KB by calling for general elections for SK officers in every barangay without exception; and (3) the exemption of the City of Manila was violative of the equal protection clause of the Constitution because, according to the DILGs records, in 5,000 barangays KB elections were held between January 1, 1988 and January 1, 1992 but only in the City of Manila, where there were 897 barangays, was there no elections held on December 4, 1992. Petitioners sought this review on certiorari. ISSUE: There are two questions raised in this case. The first is whether the Secretary of Interior and Local Government can exempt a local government unit from holding elections for SK officers on December 4, 1992 and the second is whether the COMELEC can provide that the Department of Interior and Local Government shall have direct control and supervision over the election of sangguniang kabataan with the technical assistance by the Commission on Elections. HELD: First. As already stated, by à §4 of Resolution No. 2499, the COMELEC placed the SK elections under the direct control and supervision of the DILG. Contrary to respondents contention, this did not contravene Art. IX, C, à §2(1) of the Constitution which provides that the COMELEC shall have the power to enforce and administer all laws and regulations relative to the conduct of an election, plebiscite, initiative, referendum, and recall. Elections for SK officers are not subject to the supervision of the COMELEC in the same way that, as we have recently held, contests invol ving elections of SK officials do not fall within the jurisdiction of the COMELEC Second. It is contended that, in its resolution in question, the COMELEC did not name the barangays which, because they had conducted kabataang barangay elections between January 1, 1988 and January 1, 1992, were not included in the SK elections to be held on December 4, 1992. That these barangays were precisely to be determined by the DILG is, however, fairly inferable from the authority given to the DILG to supervise the conduct of the elections. Since à §532(d) provided for kabataang barangay officials whose term of office was extended beyond 1992, the authority to supervise the conduct of elections in that year must necessarily be deemed to include the authority to determine which kabataang barangay would not be included in the 1992 elections. The decision of the Regional Trial Court of Manila, Branch 36 is REVERSED and the case filed against petitioner by private respondents is DISMISSED. G. R. No. 103956 March 31, 1992 BLO UMPAR ADIONG, Petitioner, vs. COMMISSION ON ELECTIONS, Respondent GUTIERREZ, JR. , J. : FACTS: Petitioner Blo Umpar Adiong, a senatorial candidate in the May 11, 1992 elections assailed the COMELECs Resolution insofar as it prohibits the posting of decals and stickers in mobile places like cars and other moving vehicles. According to him such prohibition is violative of Section 82 of the Omnibus Election Code and Section 11(a) of Republic Act No. 6646. In addition, the petitioner believes that with the ban on radio, television and print political advertisements, he, being a neophyte in the field of politics stands to suffer grave and irreparable injury with this prohibition. The posting of decals and stickers on cars and other moving vehicles would be his last medium to inform the electorate that he is a senatorial candidate in the May 11, 1992 elections. Finally, the petitioner states that as of February 22, 1992 (the date of the petition) he has not received any notice from any of the Election Registrars in the entire country as to the location of the supposed Comelec Poster Areas. chanrobles virtual law library ISSUE Whether or not the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) may prohibit the posting of decals and stickers on mobile places, public or private, and limit their location or publication to the authorized posting areas that it fixes. HELD: The petition is impressed with merit. The COMELECs prohibition on posting of decals and stickers on mobile places whether public or private except in designated areas provided for by the COMELEC itself is null and void on constitutional grounds. First the prohibition unduly infringes on the citizens fundamental right of free speech enshrined in the Constitution (Sec. 4, Article III). There is no public interest substantial enough to warrant the kind of restriction involved in this case. The posting of decals and stickers in mobile places like cars and other moving vehicles does not endanger any substantial government interest. There is no clear public interest threatened by such activity so as to justify the curtailment of the cherished citizens right of free speech and expression. Under the clear and present danger rule not only must the danger be patently clear and pressingly present but the evil sought to be avoided must be so substantive as to justify a clamp over ones mouth or a writing instrument to be stilled: Second the questioned prohibition premised on the statute and as couched in the resolution is void for overbreadth. ibrary A statute is considered void for overbreadth when it offends the constitutional principle that a governmental purpose to control or prevent activities constitutionally subject to state regulations may not be achieved by means which sweep unnecessarily broadly and thereby invade the area of protected freedoms. (Zwickler v. Koota, 1 9 L ed 2d 444 [1967]). In sum, the prohibition on posting of decals and stickers on mobile places whether public or private except in the authorized areas designated by the COMELEC becomes censorship which cannot be justified by the Constitution: The petition was GRANTED. The portion of Section 15 (a) of Resolution No. 347 of the Commission on Elections providing that decals and stickers may be posted only in any of the authorized posting areas provided in paragraph (f) of Section 21 hereof is DECLARED NULL and VOID. G. R. No. 135691 September 27, 1999 EMMANUEL SINACA, petitioner, vs. MIGUEL MULA and COMMISSION ON ELECTIONS, respondents. DAVIDE, JR. , C. J. : In the 11 May 1998 elections, the two opposing factions of the ruling party LAKAS-NUCD-UMPD (hereafter LAKAS) filled in separate candidates for the position of mayor of the Municipality of Malimano, Surigao del Norte. One faction headed by Robert Z. Barbers (hereafter BARBERS Wing) nominated Grachil G. Canoy (hereafter CANOY), while the other group lead by Francisco T. MATUGAS (hereafter MATUGAS Wing) endorsed the candidacy of Teodoro F. Sinaca, Jr. hereafter TEODORO). Miguel H. Mula (hereafter MULA), a candidate for vice-mayor and belonging to the BARBERS Wing, filed before the COMELEC a petition for disqualification against TEODORO which was docketed as SPA 98-021. On 8 May 1998, the Second Division of the COMELEC issued a resolution disqualifying TEODORO as candidate for mayor of the Municipality of Malimono, Surigao del Norte and ordering the cancellation of his certificate of candidacy because of prior conviction of bigamy, a crime involving moral turpitude. 2 On 10 May 1998, TEODORO filed a motion for reconsideration of the aforesaid resolution. On even date, herein petitioner Emmanuel D. Sinaca, (hereafter EMMANUEL), an independent candidate, withdrew his certificate of candidacy for Sangguniang Bayan Member, joined and became a member of the LAKAS party and was nominated by the LAKAS MATUGAS Wing as the substitute mayoralty candidate for the Municipality of Malimono, Surigao del Norte. On the basis of said nomination, EMMANUEL filed his certificate of candidacy 3 attached thereto is his certificate of nomination as LAKAS mayoralty candidate signed by Governor Francisco T. MATUGAS (hereafter MATUGAS), as party provincial chairman together with EMMANUELs written acceptance of the partys nomination. 4 On 11 May 1998, MULA filed through mail another petition for disqualification, this time against EMMANUEL, which was received by the COMELEC on 14 May 1998 and was docketed as SPA No. 98-292. In his petition MULA contended that the nomination of EMMANUEL as substitute candidate is illegal on the following grounds: a) The substitute, before he filed his Certificate of Candidacy as LAKAS candidate, was an independent candidate. Being so, he cannot rightfully substitute the disqualified one; On 28 May 1998, the COMELEC Second Division dismissed the petition for disqualification and upheld the candidacy for mayor of EMMANUEL. MULA filed a motion for reconsideration raising in the main that the signature alone of MATUGAS in the nomination was not sufficient because the partys authority to nominate was given to both MATUGAS and Senator Robert S. Barbers (hereafter BARBERS), in their joint capacity, and that the nomination of EMMANUEL is void since he was an independent candidate prior to his nomination. On 6 October 1998, the COMELEC en banc issued a Resolution 9 which set aside the resolution dated 28 May 1998 of the Second Division and disqualified EMMANUEL. Emmanuel filed a Special Civil Action in the Supreme Court for Certiorari, Mandamus and Prohibition. ISSUE: Whether or not Emmanuelââ¬â¢s nomination as a substitute candidate was regular and valid. HELD: In the instant case, there was substantial compliance with the substitution of candidate. Emmanuel was properly nominated as substitute candidate by the LAKAS Party to which Teodoro, the disqualified candidate belongs as evidence by the Certificate of Nomination and Acceptance signed by Matugas, the Partyââ¬â¢s provincial chairman. The fact that EMMANUEL was an independent candidate prior to his nomination is immaterial. What is more significant is that he had previously withdrawn his certificate of candidacy as independent candidate for Sangguniang member before he filed his certificate of candidacy as a substitute for TEODORO at which time he was, for all intents and purposes, already deemed a member of the LAKAS party MATUGAS wing. Even the fact that EMMANUEL only became a member of the LAKAS party after the disqualification of TEODORO, will not affect the validity of the substitution. There is nothing in the Constitution or the statute which requires as a condition precedent that a substitute candidate must have been a member of the party concerned for a certain period of time before he can be nominated as such. Section 77 of the Omnibus Election Code only mandates that a substitute candidate should be a person belonging to and certified by the same political party as the candidate to be replaced. We cannot provide for an additional requirement or condition not provided under the said provision without encroaching into the domain of the legislative department. Where a candidate has received popular mandate, overwhelmingly and clearly expressed, all possible doubts should be resolved in favor of the candidates eligibility for to rule otherwise is to defeat the will of the people. 33 Above and beyond all, the determination of the true will of the electorate should be paramount. It is their voice, not ours or of anyone else, that must prevail. This, in essence, is the democracy we continue to hold sacred. The petition was GRANTED. The assailed resolution of 6 October 1998 of the COMELEC en banc is hereby REVERSED and SET ASIDE and another one rendered declaring EMMANUEL SINACA as having been duly elected mayor of the Municipality of Malimono, Surigao del Norte. G. R. No. L-54718 December 4, 1985 CRISOLOGO VILLANUEVA Y PARDES, petitioner, vs. COMMISSION ON ELECTIONS, MUNICIPAL BOARD OF CANVASSERS OF DOLORES, QUEZON, VIVENCIO G. LIRIO respondents. TEEHANKEE, J. : The undisputed facts show that one Narciso Mendoza, Jr. had filed on January 4, 1980, the last day for filing of certificates of candidacy in the January 30, 1980 local elections, his sworn certificate of candidacy as independent or the office of vice-mayor of the municipality of Dolores, Quezon. But later on the very same day, Mendoza filed an unsworn letter in his own handwriting withdrawing his said certificate of candidacy for personal reasons. Later on January 25, 1980, petitioner Crisologo Villanueva, upon learning of his companion Mendozas withd rawal, filed his own sworn Certificate of Candidacy in substitution of Mendozas for the said office of vice mayor as a one-man independent ticket. The results showed petitioner to be the clear winner over respondent with a margin of 452 votes (3,112 votes as against his opponent respondent Lirios 2,660 votes). But the Municipal Board of Canvassers disregarded all votes cast in favor of petitioner as stray votes on the basis of the Provincial Election Officers erroneous opinion that since petitioners name does not appear in the Comelecs certified list of candidates for that municipality, it could be presumed that his candidacy was not duly approved by the Comelec so that his votes could not be legally counted. The canvassers accordingly proclaimed respondent Vivencio G. Lirio as the only unopposed candidate and as the duly elected vice mayor of the municipality of Dolores. Villanueva filed a petition for annulment of the proclamation of Lirio. Respondent Comelec issued its questioned resolution on February 21, 1980 denying the petition on the ground that Villanuevaââ¬â¢s withdrawal of certificate is not under oath. And that the withdrawal was made not after the last dy but on that very same day. ISSUE: Upon a restudy of the case, the Court finds merit in the reconsideration prayed for, which would respect the will of the electorate instead of defeating the same through the invocation of formal or technical defects. The Court holds that the Comelecs first ground for denying due course to petitioners substitute certificate of candidacy, i. e. that Mendozas withdrawal of his certificate of candidacy was not under oath, should be rejected. It is not seriously contended by respondent nor by the Comelec that Mendozas withdrawal was not an actual fact and a reality, so much so that no votes were cast for him at all, In fact, Mendozas name, even though his candidacy was filed on the last day within the deadline, was not in the Comelecs certified list of candidates. His unsworn withdrawal filed later on the same day had been accepted by the election registrar without protest nor objection The fact that Mendozas withdrawal was not sworn is but a technicality which should not be used to frustrate the peoples will in favor of petitioner as the substitute candidate. As to the second ground, Mendozas withdrawal of his certificate of candidacy right on the very same day that he filed his certificate of candidacy on January 4, 1980 which was the very last day for filing of certificates of candidacy shows that he was not serious about his certificate of candidacy. But this could not be done to would be bonafide candidates, like petitioner who had not filed his candidacy in deference to Mendozas candidacy who was one of his co-planners with some concerned citizens (who) held causes to put up a slate that will run against the erstwhile unopposed KBL slate. ACCORDINGLY, the Court SETS ASIDE the questioned Resolutions of respondent Comelec and annuls the proclamation of respondent Lirio as elected vice-mayor of Dolores, Quezon and instead declares petitioner as the duly elected vice-mayor of said municipality and entitled forthwith to assume said office, take the oath of office and discharge its functions [G.

MELO, J. : FACTS: On March 24, 1998, Jose Pempe Miranda, then incumbent mayor of Santiago City, Isabela, filed his certificate of candidacy for the same mayoralty post for the synchronized May 11, 1998 elections. On March 27, 1998, private respondent Antonio M. Abaya filed a Petition to Deny Due Course to and/or Cancel Certificate of Candidacy (pp. 26-33, Rollo), which was docketed as SPA No. 98-019. The petition was GRANTED by the Comelec in its resolution dated May 5, 1998 (pp. 36-43, Rollo). The Comelec further ruled to DISQUALIFY Jose Pempe Miranda. On May 6, 1998, way beyond the deadline for filing a certificate of candidacy, petitioner Joel G. Miranda filed his certificate of candidacy for the mayoralty post, supposedly as a substitute for his father, Jose Pempe During the May 11, 1998 elections, petitioner and private respondent vied for the mayoralty seat, with petitioner garnering 22,002 votes, 1,666 more votes than private respondent who got only 20, 336 votes. On May 13, 1998, private respondent filed a Petition to Declare Null and Void Substitution with Prayer for Issuance of Writ of Preliminary Injunction and/or Temporary Restraining Order, which was docketed as SPA No. 98-288. He prayed for the nullification of petitioners certificate of candidacy for being void ab initio because the certificate of candidacy of Jose Pempe Miranda, whom petitioner was supposed to substitute, had already been cancelled and denied due course. On May 16, 1998, Comelecs First Division dismissed SPA No. 98-288 motu proprio (pp. 57-61, Rollo). Private respondent moved for reconsideration (pp. 62-72, Rollo). On December 8, 1998, the Comelec En Banc rendered the assailed decision aforequoted, resolving to GRANT the motion for reconsideration, thus nullifying the substitution by petitioner Joel G. Miranda of his father as candidate for the mayoralty post of Santiago City. On December 9, 1998, petitioner sought this Courts intercession via a petition for certiorari, with prayer for the issuance of a temporary restraining order and/or writ of preliminary injunction. ISSUES: 1. Whether the annulment of petitioners substitution and proclamation was issued without jurisdiction and/or with grave abuse of discretion amounting to lack of jurisdiction; and 2. Whether the order of the Comelec directing the proclamation of the private respondent was issued with grave abuse of discretion amounting to lack of jurisdiction. HELD: The Court finds neither lack of jurisdiction nor grave abuse of discretion attended the annulment of the substitution and proclamation of petitioner. On the matter of jurisdiction, there is no question that the case at hand is within the exclusive original jurisdiction of the Comelec. On the issue of soundness of the disposition in SPA No. 8-288, the Court finds that the Comelecs action nullifying the substitution by and proclamation of petitioner for the mayoralty post of Santiago City, Isabela is proper and legally sound. All told, a disqualified candidate may only be substituted if he had a valid certificate of candidacy in the first place because, if the disqualified candidate did not have a valid and seasonably filed certificate of candidacy, he is and was not a candidate at all. If a person was not a candidate, he cannot be substituted under Section 77 of the Code. Besides, if we were to allow the so-called substitute to file a new and original certificate of candidacy beyond the period for the filing thereof, it would be a crystalline case of unequal protection of the law, an act abhorred by our Constitution. The question to settle next is whether or not aside from Joel Pempe Miranda being disqualified by the Comelec in its May 5, 1998 resolution, his certificate of candidacy had likewise been denied due course and cancelled. The Court rules that it was. Comelec committed no grave abuse of discretion in resolving SPA No. 98-288 in favor of private respondent. As earlier pointed out, the result in the dispositive portion of the December 8, 1998 resolution pertaining to the issues involved in SPA No. 98-288 is correct insofar as it annulled the election and proclamation of Joel G. Miranda. But even assuming for the sake of argument that it is not, still, this supposed error does not constitute grave abuse of discretion which may be annulled and reversed in the present petition for certiorari. lawrencebrooks197http://www.blogger.com/profile/17888652601094015526noreply@blogger.com0
