Best Man Wedding Speech (Roast) -- Wedding Toasts Roasts Speeches
Best Man Wedding Speech Ladies and Gentlemen, It's time for me to make a speech now and quite frankly, there's not a lot you can do about that. Well, if there's anybody here this evening who feels strangely nervous and apprehensive, it's probably because you just went and married Bill Meyers! Sorry Lacy - It's too late now. You're stuck with him. When it comes to Best Man's speeches there are some things in the interests of good taste, which are better left unsaid.....well, I'm here to say them! Some people need no introduction....Bill Meyers needs all the introduction he can get. He could be described as charming, intelligent, witty...and perhaps one day he will be. Bill was born in October 1970. The Beatles had split up, Maggie May by Rod Stewart was no.1 and Liverpool Football Club, under Bill Shankly, was about to embark on a two decade journey of domestic a...

Why Is the Initial Consultation so Important?
Word count: 1892 Why is the initial consultation so important? What factors will an ethical therapist cover at this time? In this essay I will be looking at the purpose of the initial consultation, what happens during this meeting and why it is such an important time in the client/therapist relationship. I will endeavour to cover as many of these issues as possible in order to illustrate the importance of this initial consultation and the factors that an ethically minded therapist should cover. The initial consultationâ⬠¦free or not?The initial consultation may well be the most crucial aspect of hypnotherapy, if not all therapies. Everything from the knowing the client, interpersonal dynamic to the eventual success of the therapy has a basis in this first meeting between the client and the therapist. Indeed, the clientââ¬â¢s decision to remain engaged with the therapeutic process may be determined by factors from this early meeting. There is much controversy and debate around whether the client should be charged for the initial consultation. One thought is that charging would be unjust if the therapist cannot provide the sought therapy for one reason or another.A counter argument to this is: if there is no charge clients may take advantage of this ââ¬Å"freeâ⬠session without any intention to return. It could also be said that a ââ¬Å"freeâ⬠session acts as a lure for the client, implying they may feel obligated to enter into a contract with the hypnotherapist. In my opinion, the initial consultation is fundamental for the evaluation of the client, in order to have a clear idea of the clientââ¬â¢s issues and needs. It would be unethical practice on the part of the therapist if this evaluation was not carried out. As long as this is explained to the client in the very first contact then it is right to charge.However I myself would prefer to offer this as a ââ¬Å"freeâ⬠consultation because I see the first session as an evaluation for both parties. It is an opportunity for the therapist to fulfil their duty of care and understand the clientââ¬â¢s needs before undertaking any work with them. It is also an opportunity for the client to explore the possibility of undertaking a course of therapy without feeling any pressure to continue if they feel uncomfortable. I would however make this consultation session shorter than a usual session, to distinguish the difference.I would also have very clear boundaries around how a free consultation was administered. Some of the benefits of providing a free initial consultation are: â⬠¢ Enables you to get a ââ¬Ëfeelââ¬â¢ for the client, as you will be face to face ââ¬â is this someone you could work with? â⬠¢ You can check that you do not know the client in any way or that you are not connected to them in a way that is inappropriate (Dual Relationship) â⬠¢ You can check whether they are on any medication, particularly anti-psychotics or anti-depressants â⬠¢ You can gain an understanding of their family history that may indicate possible areas of concern. You can assess their goal with them and determine whether it is obtainable â⬠¢ You can arrange a contract for your therapy including costs and number of sessions before reviewing â⬠¢ You can find out about previous therapy/counselling in the past- was it successful, are there any therapies they didnââ¬â¢t like? Why? You can gain an understanding of their family dynamic and living environment â⬠¢ You can enquire as to any problems that may effect their motivation and self esteem â⬠¢ You can assess whether you will need to run any questions by your supervisor before proceeding further â⬠¢ Conveys professionalism in your field ââ¬â which can only assist with public relations and instilling respect and trust in this therapy. â⬠¢ May help to encourage ââ¬Ëundecidedââ¬â¢ potential clients attend as ââ¬Ëwhat have they got to lose? â⬠¢ Assist s with building trust and rapport, you are building a working relationship before the therapy starts in earnest. â⬠¢ You can assess whether you have the skills to go ahead with therapy â⬠¢ You can explain your confidentiality policy â⬠¢ You can assess the personality of the person by using the assessment questionnaire ââ¬â therefore deciding what style of screed you could use with them â⬠¢ You can also assess modality and obtain other information that ou may need to create a personalised induction â⬠¢ You can makes sure there is no sexual attraction between yourself and client ââ¬â this would undoubtedly interfere with the therapy and would be unethical practice â⬠¢ You can begin the process of ââ¬Ëseedingââ¬â¢ the client for ready acceptance of future work â⬠¢ Enables you time to seek GP approval if that is what is needed. It could be argued that the only ââ¬Ëconââ¬â¢ that comes from offering a free initial consultation is the cost to yourself as you will have given away half an hour or so of your time for free, time that maybe could have been spent with a paying client.It is important to note that you have to be very careful as to how you advertise and conduct free initial consultations. This is due to complex legal issues relating to using free products as a sales pitch. Knowing and Informing The consultation process should be concerned with two primary aims; knowing the person and informing the person. The latter is somewhat less involved and aims to ensure that the client has a clear understanding of the therapist, the nature of hypnosis, and the guidelines within which both are framed.Clients need to know that they are dealing with a trained individual, and how that person will work with them. This means that they should know the therapistââ¬â¢s qualifications (and perhaps even a method of checking them, such as a telephone number or web address) and their particular philosophy or approach to therapy. So me clients may have experience of preferred or disliked therapies. The client also needs to be clear about the nature of hypnosis, what it is and what it is not, issues regarding loss of control, revealing secrets, not coming out of a trance etc.It might be useful to send such information to clients when they make their consultation appointment and then review it during the first face-to-face meeting. As explored above, meeting with the client for the first time is very much concerned with learning about them and their needs and their expectations of the possible therapy. It goes without saying that this is also a crucial time for the therapist to gather as much information to begin a successful therapeutic relationship. Information and data will usually be collected and added to a form that is generally referred to as a ââ¬ËNotationââ¬â¢.This will cover details such as: â⬠¢ Full name (also name they like to be referred to) â⬠¢ Address and contact details (including pe rmission to use these contact numbers etc) â⬠¢ Occupation â⬠¢ G. P. name and surgery â⬠¢ Medical history ââ¬â current Medication and health problems, addictions â⬠¢ Relationship status â⬠¢ Childhood ââ¬â brief description eg happy, average, bad childhood â⬠¢ Hobbies/interests â⬠¢ Problems in work life â⬠¢ Problems in close relationships â⬠¢ Any previous experience of Hypnotherapy or other therapies â⬠¢ Dislikes/fears What is the clients goal and is this a long term problem/If so what brings them to therapy now â⬠¢ Any other issues All of the above information is required if the therapist intends to work within an ethical framework. Talking to the client face to face gives the therapist more information by observing body language for example and it is also an opportunity to begin to build trust and develop rapport but probably most importantly it is necessary to find out if the work requested is actually within the therapistââ¬â¢ s professional scope.Medical history and current medication will give a good indication as to whether the client can be helped in this setting. If there is any suggestion of mental illness it could be detrimental to the client to pursue this course of action and unethical for the therapist. If in doubt the therapist has a duty to seek approval from the clients GP, informing him of the intended changes the client would like to make, and the course of therapy intended. This can only take place with the clients consent and without this the therapy cannot egin and should not. The therapist has a duty of care to refuse the client and any other action would be unethical. Some times it might be necessary to refer the client on to a more relevant professional. If the client is assessed as a suitable candidate for hypnotherapy it is now important for the therapist to get to ââ¬Ëknow the clientââ¬â¢ and to begin to build a working relationship based on mutual respect. Listening to the c lient, being truly present, will go a long way towards the client feeling safe and heard.Paying attention to the clientââ¬â¢s personality is also important, and we need to try and ââ¬Ëmirrorââ¬â¢ that to a degree. For example if a client is very shy and reserved he will feel uncomfortable if the therapist acts in a flamboyant and theatrical manner. If in telling his story the client observes facial expressions and body language that seem judgemental the client is unlikely to feel positively towards the therapist. In order to build rapport we must behave in a way that facilitates the required response, alienating the client will only serve to close down the relationship before it has even started.When actively listening to the client it is important to be empathic rather than sympathetic. This is far more helpful as this helps the client to find a solution to the problem as opposed to a moment of sympathy, which the client could ordinarily get without seeking professional gu idance. During this gathering of information, the therapist is able to learn more about the clientââ¬â¢s lifestyle, childhood, relationships, personality traits, likes and dislikes style and modality.With this knowledge the therapist can craft or adapt a screed to suit that persons preferred modality and style. In learning about the client the therapist is able to help in a much more effective way and is able to avoid any words and images that might be detrimental to the treatment. As rapport develops and more is revealed about the client, it might become necessary to change the style of a screed, but it is at least a starting point that will have more relevance, than if the therapist started with a generic script.The more personalised screed is likely to have a more positive outcome. It is also useful to find out if the client has had any experience of therapies previously and if the experience was a positive one. Find out if the client has any previous knowledge, exposure or ex pectations of hypnosis. Do they have any fears surrounding pursuing a course of hypnotherapy? Now is the time to discuss these issues and to try to allay any fearsà they may have. If the client has no previous experience of Hypnotherapy, use this time to educate the client about what hypnosis is and isnââ¬â¢t.The therapist should end the initial consultation by summarising what was said, they should give a brief outline of the main points, issues and themes that the client has raised. This gives a complete picture of what was discussed and also it allows space to clear up any misunderstandings. Conclusion To summarise, the initial consultation is important because it gives the client and therapist chance to evaluate each other face to face and to decide whether they can realistically (and ethically) work with each other.There are many important factors that need to be given careful consideration before any therapy commences and the information gathered (and imparted) at this ti me is key to gaining the knowledge required for a successful outcome, if therapy commences.

The Mistreatment of Mexicans Essay - 1028 Words
The Mistreatment of Mexicans Americans take many things for granted. For the majority of the population, life is relatively mild. People are normally not rich, but not poor, not ecstatically happy, but not too depressed either. One might say that the population generally has it easy, as compared to a large percentage of the rest of the world. It is for this reason that a great many people from other countries immigrate here. They are seeking a better life. Often, however, they get mistreated. Like the Mexican immigrants, who arrive here, only to be treated unfairly because of few opportunities, American prejudice, and Americanization. They do not come here to do harm, or to take advantage of Americans, or to do anything butâ⬠¦show more contentâ⬠¦So whether or not the applicant is legal or not, if they look Hispanic, then they get judged unfairly by the employer (Nigel 46). Because of their appearance, Mexicans get judged as all the same, as Hing speculates, as uneducated, desperate, and hardworki ng (124). They are even sought after by potential employers because of this. One man speaks of finding some workers for a small job, saying, Iââ¬â¢m going to find some Mexicans for the jobâ⬠¦theyââ¬â¢ve got a good attitude, they work cheap, and theyââ¬â¢re dependable deliberately seeking out workers which he can overwork and underpay (Ungar 238). Secondly, Mexican immigrants are badly mistreated by American prejudice. Something that fuels this prejudice is called nativism, which is an intense opposition to an internal minority on the grounds of its foreign connectionsâ⬠¦a zeal to destroy the enemies of a distinctively American way of life (Perea 1). Those that believe in nativism, nativists, are against immigration, and are especially against Mexican immigrants. They pose a great problem to Mexican immigrants, especially if they happen to be illegal aliens. Nativists have passed something called Proposition 187, which was to Save Our State by preventing illega l aliens in the United States from receiving benefits or public services in the State of California (Harris 61).

Comparing The Regency Era And The Current Decade. Class...
There is an evident differentiation when comparing the Regency Era to the current decade. Class issues, racial barriers, and heredity are no longer as crucial of a factor as they were when Jane Austen began her literary career. In the time period, she was surrounded by a copious amount of expectations; for example, a woman was expected to marry into or above her class, marry before reaching a certain age or accept the dreadful future of a spinster, and marry into the family in order to aggrandize old English money in the family. When John Lauber analyzed the Regency Era, he stated, ââ¬Å"marriage was a womanââ¬â¢s goal and fulfillment, it was a womanââ¬â¢s career- a doctrine accepted by all of Austenââ¬â¢s heroinesâ⬠¦Ã¢â¬ (Lauber 26). In addition, marriage was crucial for women because there were few occupations open to females during the time period. A woman could rarely become considered an independent because job opportunities that would pay well and be considere d a reverential career were not available; therefore, women relied on inheriting money through marriage (Jane Austen Information Page). Austen focused on portraying the importance of societal expectations throughout her novel, Pride and Prejudice; nevertheless, Austen emphasized the reality of marriage being a strict agreement between two families with the premise of the marriage benefitting the wealth and class of the family as a whole. ââ¬Å"Loveâ⬠was a foreign idea that had absolutely had no role in deciding on a suitor.

Different Expressions Of Sex And Sexuality Essay - 1480 Words
Unit Four In the twenty first century, we now acknowledge that there are various expressions of sex and sexuality. This occurs because of the ideas and actions of people in the previous century. Because of them, we have expanded our concept of normal; however, we can still observe themes that have been present throughout history including: tradition, exclusion, and power. It is a misconception that most gay people were isolated before the gay rights movement. There is evidence to suggest that they formed communities in highly urban areas, like New York. These people were able to develop a culture around their sexuality with only minor interference from the others before world war two, ââ¬Å"indifference or curiosity- rather than hostility or fear- characterized many New Yorkerââ¬â¢s response to the gay worldâ⬠1. Before this time, the one sex model was in effect, which allowed for practices like pederasty to be a norm. These examples show that we were not strictly intolerant of variant forms of sexuality, as long as no one was harmed by it and they didnââ¬â¢t disrupt day to day life. Once the 1950s was underway, the status of the gays changed. First there was the publishing of Kinseyââ¬â¢s first book, Sexual Behavior of the Human Male, which caused the spotlight to be thrown on the gays, and not for their benefit.

Automatic Railway Level Crossing Free Essays
AUTOMATED UNMANNED RAILWAY LEVEL CROSSING Abstract: In the rapidly flourishing country like ours, accidents in the unmanned level crossings are increasing day by day. No fruitful steps have been taken so far in these areas. The objective of our project is to provide an automatic railway gate at a level-crossing replacing the gates operated by the gatekeeper. We will write a custom essay sample on Automatic Railway Level Crossing or any similar topic only for you Order Now It deals with two things. Firstly, it deals with the reduction of time for which the gate is being kept closed. And secondly, it provides safety to the road users by reducing the accidents. By employing the automatic railway gate control at the level crossing the arrival of the train is detected by the sensors placed near to the gate and transmits the information to the gate controller via wired or wireless. Hence, the time for which it is closed is less compared to the manually operated gates. The operation is automatic i. e. , error due to manual operation is prevented. By employing the automatic railway gate control at the level crossing the arrival of train is detected by the sensor placed on either side of the gate at about 3km from the level crossing. Hence, the time for which it is closed is less compared to the manually operated gates and also reduces the human labour. This type of gates can be employed in an unmanned level crossing where the chances of accidents are higher and reliable operation is required. Since, the operation is automatic error due to manual operation will be prevented. Once the arrival of the train is sensed, the sensed signal is sent to the microcontroller via, wired or wireless transmission and it checks for possible presence of vehicle between the gates. Subsequently, buzzer indication and light signals on either side are provided to the road users indicating the closure of gates. Once, no vehicle is sensed in between the gate the motor is activated and the gates are closed. But, for the worst case if any obstacle is sensed it is indicated to the train driver by signals (RED) placed at about 1km, so as to bring it to halt well before the level crossing. When no obstacle is sensed GREEN light is indicated, and the train is to free to move. The departure of the train is detected by sensors placed at about 1km from the ate. The signal about the departure is sent to the microcontroller, which in turn operates the motor in reverse way and opens the gate. Thus, the time for which the gate is closed is less compared to the manually operated gates. Also reliability is high as it is not subjected to manual errors. Components : IR sensors or Vibration sensors, Microcontroller, L293D(driver IC), Stepper motor, Wireless Transmitter and Receiver, power supply. HARDWARE IMPLEMENTATION Micro Controller Totally 40-pin DIP package manufactured with CMOS Technology. L293D (motor driver IC) Racially L293D 16DIP /ULN 2003 IC is used to drive the stepper motor.

The company and its management would need to think strategically and innovatively to align the project objectives with the organizational vision. Moreover, the time period to develop the new app is the main constraint of the project (Dow Taylor, 2010). Preliminary Project Requirements The project would require various specific and systematic development approaches for the project. Moreover, there would also be requirements for the special experts to get the suggestion about the development of new app. On the other hand, a team of programmers as well as digital image specialist would also be required to work on the app (Pemsel Wiewiora, 2013). The company may face several risk related to hacking, data security, unexpected results, busy servers etc. The company would also have to invest billions of dollars to modify the current app (Kerzner Saladis, 2013). The new app would help the company in bringing innovation within the current business process, systems and strategies. Moreover, the company can be able to provide more innovative services to their clients (Kerzner, 2013). On the basis of above analysis, it can be recommended that, the top management of the company should provide needed and appropriate support to their teams to develop the app. References Dow, W.
