some extent that global climate change is a real and serious issue. The evidence that has been gathered for decades from various organizations, to include the ICCP and NASA are endless. In the past, the debate was whether global climate change was a real phenomenon and whether humans were the sole purpose of the cause. Unfortunately these debates are still covered through social media sources, such as Fox News and CNN. Presently, these type of debates over whether global climate change and its…

The Day After Tomorrow is a 2004 science fiction movie directed and produced by Roland Emmerich. The movie depicts the disastrous event of an abrupt climate shift, which is accompanied by several natural disasters such as tornadoes and flooding, causing a new ice age in the Northern Hemisphere (The Day After Tomorrow). After its release the movie received very negative reviews from the scientific community for being scientifically incorrect and showing natural events that are barely possible to…
CMS offers the Advanced Alternative Payment Models (APMs) program as a difference option to MIPS. And if you qualify for an Advanced APM, then you don’t have to report MIPS data. Then you would receive a lump sum payment amounting to 5 percent of your Medicare Part B fee-for-service payments for the previous year rather than receiving a payment adjustment on your Medicare charges. That means being included in an Advanced APM also removes the threat of a negative adjustment that is part of the…
contact you to share some research ideas I propose in the context of my application to the Yerby postdoctoral fellowship program for which I suggested you as faculty mentors. The proposal I presented consists on developing theory-based and data-driven models of health complexity for contributing to the health theoretical development, providing coherence and context to fragmented evidence of health practice, and bringing closer health theory and facts. I briefly described this proposal in my…
Herman, Polivy and Roth’s (2003) normative model attempts to explain how social factors influence food intake, specifically focusing on social facilitation, modeling, and impression-management. Models are incredibly helpful within scientific research as they allow for scientists to compile current data and propose frameworks to explain various behaviors. However, some models lack comprehensive explanations and require additional modification in order to accurately describe the potential causes…
understood. Significant amounts of research has been done in this area of study, culminating in various different models proposed by researcher that seek to explain just one these factors. This paper seeks to describe and evaluate how well one of these models, the normative model proposed in Herman, Roth, & Polivy (2003), explains social influences on eating behavior and apply the model to determine its effectiveness in predicting and explaining the findings of other research pertaining to…
attribute for GM, and instead turned into a failure to fix a long standing issue regarding customer safety. GM has several strengths, two of which are their strong brand portfolio and having a good knowledge of their home market. GM is also aware of their global attendance and has worked to make their vision and strategies become a strength for the organization (Jureviciu, 2013). However, in terms of weaknesses, GM tends to be high cost and have care recalls due to similar issues such as the…
Should digits on a weight scale determine a modeling career? Models are the society’s way of expressing today’s most current fashion statements. However, to present good fashion one must meet society’s beauty standards right? That is wrong. We should be promoting beauty on all sizes, colors and races. Models should not have a minimum weight limit because it puts a border line on beauty, lowers self-esteem and even though it helps prevent eating disorders it also supports society’s negative body…
in our favourite television shows, the heroes in the books, or our beloved family members and friends. They are called our role models because we are inspired to keep living on until we achieve our goals. However, we could be influenced by immoral and unfortunate situations. The movie, "Dead Poet Society", directed by Peter Weir, demonstrates influence of the role models as a theme. The film demonstrates the influences John Keating has on the lives of his students in English class. He is an…
