Assignment 2: Feeling Words and Encouragement

/in /by

Identifying underlying feelings that your clients might be experiencing, yet unable to identify for themselves, can be a challenge. But it is an important part of the counseling process. Assisting the clients to process their emotional connections to their stories can be the therapeutic key to healing. This also connects with the counselor’s holistic work with clients. For this reason, the first part of this module’s assignment begins with identifying emotional (i.e., feeling) words that can be grounded in five core feeling words: angry, sad, lonely, scared, and happy.Additionally, it is beneficial for counselors to be encouraging within the counseling session. However, counselors do not compliment but encourage by recognizing effort and process, and noticing how they “are” with their clients. To understand this phenomenon, identifying others in your life from whom you have felt encouraged and how they have done this can help you model their methods with your clients. The second part of this module’s assignment is designed for you to refine your understanding of encouragement.Tasks:For this assignment, you are to follow the directions to fill out a Feelings template. Then, you will read two articles involving encouragement and write a 3- to 4-page response.Part 1: Nothing But Feelings TemplateUsing the Nothing But Feelings Template:Complete the template’s list with at least seven feeling words under each of the five core feeling categories (happy, sad, angry, lonely, and scared).Determine and include an additional five ambivalent or mixed feelings (or phrases) not already listed as examples in the template. Provide a description of what you have heard people say.Identify five metaphor statements and the basic core feelings that underlie each (i.e., happy, sad, angry, scared, and lonely). Write a brief justification as to why you sense this core feeling would underlie the metaphor.Part 2: EncouragementFirst, read and analyze these two articles related to the counseling relationship:Eckstein, D., & Cooke, P. (2005). The seven methods of encouragementfor couples. The Family Journal, 13(3), 342–350.Eckstein, D., Belongia, M., & Elliott-Applegate, G. (2000). The fourdirections of encouragement within families. The Family Journal,8(4), 406–415.Now, complete the following in 3–4 pages:Identify two significant people in your life who have encouraged you in a positive way. Without mentioning specific/actual names, describe what each did/said and/or how he or she interacted with you (specific examples are required).Explain what resulted from their encouragement that has affected you positively today as the person you are (or career direction, etc.). Connect your relationship to theirs, as in the article by Eckstein, Belongia, and Elliott-Applegate (2000). Keep in mind that these levels do not have to be within a family structure.Connecting to Eckstein and Cooke’s (2005) article, identify the method(s) each of your two special people in your life demonstrated. Provide an explicit explanation to support your thoughts.Discuss your understanding of encouragement as a counseling skill. Explain how you might use these experiences to provide encouragement to your clients.Discuss the pros and cons that might result from implementing encouragement. Be mindful that encouraging and complimenting are not the same.Your response document will be a Microsoft Word document written in APA format, and should be approximately 3–4 pages in length.

Analysis on Airframe and Engine Degradation.

/in /by

Write 14 pages with APA style on Analysis on Airframe and Engine Degradation. Airframe and engine degradation play a very vital role in the airline’s industry as it has many effects if not monitored accordingly. The need to investigate and improve the degradation factor has increased as it is able to save an abundance of money in terms of lower operating cost. The dramatic increase in jet fuel cost in recent years has had a significant effect on the division of operating costs. In 2003, jet fuel was around US$0.85 per US Gallon. At that time, fuel represented about 28% of the total operating cost for a typical A320 Family operator. By 2006 fuel prices had more than doubled, meaning that fuel now represents around 43% of all operating costs (Getting to grips with A320 Family performance retention and fuel savings, 2008).

At the moment every airline will have its own way of monitoring the aircraft performance based on their make. As Air Asia uses entirely Airbus fleet of aircraft, the performance monitoring is done using the APM software supplied by airbus itself.

Using this we get to see the monthly performance and the degradation of the engine and airframe. This then helps us in planning for the structure and placing for the aircraft in its most useful role. If an aircraft has low-performance factor caused by the high degradation this aircraft would be either proposed for a makeover or cease of service. As the operating cost is most vital especially for budget airlines like Air Asia, the aircraft has to perform its best at all times.

The project may suffer from delay if the timely inspection for the aircraft is not done due to delay in the maintenance department. Another reason for the delay can also be the wireless extraction method not in on time due to downtime by the service provider.

The methodology for the study combined literature review and empirical Case Study of A320 AirBus, an analysis that involved systematic sampling of aircraft to determine deviation flow of fuel due to engine degradation (DFFB) and deviation fuel flow due to apparent airframe deterioration (DFFA).

Structured Query Language: History, and Usage.

/in /by

Hi, need to submit a 1250 words paper on the topic Structured Query Language: History, and Usage. SQL is used in varied environments of client-server programming, web programming, and host-based database programming.

Knowledge about databases is a prerequisite to understanding SQL. The Webster’s Dictionary defines a database as ‘a usually large collection of data organized especially for rapid search and retrieval.’ Taken as such, a database could even not be associated with computers and simply be paper-based in the form of organized data on paper.

Databases are however closely associated with computers because computers represent the simplest, fastest, and most efficient way to store, manage, retrieve, and update data. Computer-based databases, which are the databases referred to in this paper, can range from the older Legacy mainframes often with the Virtual Storage Access Method (VSAM), dBase, and other file-based databases, the Relational DataBase Management Systems (RDBMS) and the recent XML and Object-oriented databases.

There have essentially been three types of database models – Hierarchical Databases, Network Databases, and Relational Databases. In the hierarchical model, the data is structured in what is known as a parent-child relationship. In this model, the basic logic hinges on the assumption that a child element can have only one parent, while a parent can have many children. This relationship in a database design is termed the ‘one-to-many’ relationship as opposed to the elementary ‘one-to-one’ where a single element can be linked only to another single element. The hierarchical model is nagged by the problem of data redundancy. The Network model was developed to eliminate this problem of redundancy. It represents data using set theory instead of a hierarchy. In this structure, a child element has more than one parent resulting in a child having many parents and a parent having many children in what is termed as the ‘many-to-many’ relationship. Both the hierarchical and network models had limitations. Their indexing systems are linked to the hard disk sectors in which the data resides. Moving the data across sectors leads to problems. Moreover, querying data from multiple tables requires sophisticated programming that uses proprietary languages.
