This is done to increase long-term financial solvency for investors. As is the case with other economic policies, the implementation of austerity policies has both supporters and critics. Those who support austerity policies argue that by reducing the government’s expenditure, it ...

39 Key Learning Points

In order to have successful change efforts, there should be created short-term wins. Short-term wins help to build momentum and direction for the change effort. In successful situations, people build on momentum to make a vision a reality by keeping urgency up and a feeling of false pride down; by eliminating unnecessary, exhausting and demoralizing work; and by not declaring victory prematurely.

Even though you are achieving and celebrating short term wins, it’s very important to never let up.

You do not have to become frustrated and resist the temptation to “beat up” on your people. You have to be relentless until you reach the end goal. When you have too much work, ...

Patterns of Surface Ocean Currents

Surface currents are found in the upper four hundred meters of an ocean body and they form major patterns such as eddies, upwelling, and gyres (Garrishon, 2007). Surface currents result from wind energy that is concentrated in both north and south hemispheres forming trade winds which are easterlies and westerlies (Garrishon, 2007). Waves on the sea surface transfer some of the energy from the moving air to the water by friction. Pulling of wind on the surface of ocean causes an accumulation of water with the water displaced underneath the wind forming the movement. ...

While much has been hypothesized regard a sill in the context of geology, it is of the essence to note that it mainly refers to an intrusion that is tabular in nature that often intrudes on older deposits of sedimentary rocks. In metamorphic rocks, sills often intrude on along the directions of foliation. Many at times, the term sill and concordant intrusive sheet have been used interchangeably. This is a significant indicators that sill does not apply across all pre-existing rocks. On the contrary, dikes, which is often used interchangeably with discordant intrusive sheets applies across all older rocks. For this ...

Question one

It has been well established from research that non-verbal communication forms a critical component of communication. It is the passing of messages without the use of words. It can be employed using gestures, eye movements and use of voice. These non-verbal cues carry more information than the spoken word because they are reflex actions controlled by the brain. For example, they may convey a message that the speaker isn’t willing to say verbally because of the potential effect. Also, they may help someone in discovering a lying speaker. In the law, demeanor evidence is sometimes used to weigh the credibility of a ...

Abstract

Human development is an area that has been one of the most discussed areas of study in the last one century.

Introduction.

Everything we do has a limit. Limits are put to define the extent to which we can do certain things or even the extent to which we can move from a particular point. Boundaries are physical barriers which separate different areas. They are usually in the form of walls, roads, paths and so on. Therefore, maritime boundaries and limits are connected with the ownership of valuable resources and coastal state jurisdiction over foreign shipping. Inaccuracies and uncertainties over such sensitive issues are best avoided. There are numerous international disputes over limits and boundaries, some of which could endanger peace and security. ...
