So it is important to inform the patient`s family how it is going on when the carers are caring for the patient.

Caregivers face many obstacles as they balance caregiving with other demands, including child rearing, career, and relationships. They are at increased risk for burden, stress, depression, and a variety of other health complications, the effects on caregivers are diverse and complex, and there are many other factors that may exacerbate or ameliorate how caregivers react and feel as a result of their role.

The way to reduce the stresses for the individual, family and carers.

Maintaining emotional and physical fitness is crucial. Preparing and protecting yourself, working to understand your loved one`s experience, and embracing help from others can minimize the hazards and enhance the joys of your caregiving experience.

Steve Jobs’ Personality Led to His Success

Steve Jobs was one of the founders of one of the most common technology-based companies today: Apple. With the advancement of computers, the Macintosh computer by Apple arose. More and more advancements in technology led to a series of computers, tablets, phones, and mp3 players made by Apple to become popular. Apple’s advancements in technology made it, in my opinion, one of the most favorable companies when it comes to technology. Jobs success can be attributed to his perseverance, intuition, and personality traits. It wasn’t easy for Jobs.Though a big part of the launch of Macintosh computer, he was let go from Apple due to power struggles. However, twelve years later, Jobs returned to help the company from falling into bankruptcy. He was conscientious about his work. Even though Jobs had been let go, he saw this as an opportunity to return to the work he loved. In this time, Jobs founded Pixar, a successful movie studio that produced animated films. He had also crea ted NeXT computer, which Apple eventually bought out and incorporated into their current systems. Jobs believed the only way to do great work were to do what you loved.Conscientiousness is just one of the big five traits Jobs portrayed. Jobs clearly had to be very open to experience in his career. If Jobs had not been intellectual and imaginative his work might not exist. Had he not thought and pursued his ideas, Apple would not have asked Jobs to return to save the company. They knew he was smart enough to handle the job. Jobs also had to be open-minded to new ideas to help with the advancement of Apple. Their technology was ahead of other companies and is what led to its success, to do this, companies have to be proactive and open to new ideas.Jobs displayed much emotional stability throughout his career. I think you have to have emotional stability to be able to handle such a big company with all the challenges. Jobs stressed always â€Å"being yourself. † He would walk ar ound with dirty feet and would even do odd things around the office to relieve stress. It seemed as Jobs battled with cancer, he rarely slowed down. He used this disease to drive him to pursue his dreams and focus on his efforts. Though Jobs’ wasn’t the most philanthropic man, he still offered a personality of extroversion and agreeableness. I feel his lust to do what he loved, made him amicable.

The economic and performance benefits of disk

Disk Aggregation is a process to combine more than one physical disk or logical disk drive and duly change into comparatively more larger disk drive. The purpose of such combination is mainly to create one single physical disk which has more capacity than any other physical disk, which is currently available. Thus it provides an easy to use way in such a way that the performance increases considerably. Virtualization of storage helps in achieving the location independence simply by abstracting the physical location of any data.It helps in providing a logical space to the user for storage of data. Further, it also provides for the process of mapping the data to the actual physical location available to the user. Thus the virtualization software or device always uses meta-data i. e. mapping information that enables to re=direct the VO request (Toigo, 2004). The main function of this device is first to receive an incoming VO request which contains several information regarding location of the data in reference to the logical disk.Thereafter it translates such disk into a new VO request to the physical disk location. All this system is so smooth as well as fault-less that without any special effort the whole sets of performances work wonderfully to the entire satisfaction of the user. Thus the virtualization device receive a read request for logical disk such as LUN ID =1 LBA=32. It can also perform a meta-data look up for above logical disk and transcend it into physical disk LUN D-7, LBAD.Again virtualization device can also receive the data back to the originating place as if it had received from virtual disk LUN ID=1. LBA 32. The main performance benefits are that for implementation of this device no additional hardware is required. Similarly, no other drastic change in infrastructure is needed for such virtualization. Since we are using logical volume manager,{LUM or LINUX } as Windows, which is called logical disk manager or CDM which are effective in perform ing the virtualization task, it is very simple to design and also easy to code.Its implementation also helps in supporting any storage type. Its usefulness more felt by the user such performance benefits. Thus user can install virtualization and its economic benefits are the avoidance of multiple virtual servers as a single server is enough for the best performance. It helps in cost reduction in following ways:1. Software license fee avoidance.2. Lesser space for date centre.3. Less power for unnecessary controllers.4. Reductions in overtime and better utilization of resources,5.  Reduction in overall cost as it helps in overall curtailment in 20-60% of many common management tasks.The advantages which are derived by the users are so many and the advantage of faultless working of such virtualization is so alluring that it is becoming very popular and user-friendly. The usages e enormous and as explained earlier the performance as well as economic benefits are making this device in dispensible in present days. With growing demand of virtualization the system is so designed that the user always find its implementation an asset to his growing need.

Professional And Ethical Issues Of Forensic Psychology

Case Analysis Professional and Ethical Issues in Forensic Psychology Samuelu Vaina Argosy University Dr. Arena Most common ethical problems arise in the profession of therapists and psychologists usually occur from the relationships they share with a client. The relationship shared between a practitioner and a client can be very cloudy and blurry in its nature. An example of a conflict that usually occurs in the relationship would be that of having two roles or responsibilities to a client or a client to a practitioner. Dual or multiple relationships occur when a professional assumes two or more roles at a time with a client or with someone who has a relationship with the client. â€Å"Boundary crossing involve duality, rather than multiplicity, of roles (Corey, 2007). To maintain the integrity and objectivity of one’s role and responsibility to the profession, paying close attention to boundaries and the management of singular role relationship with client. It is commonly stated that â€Å"If the primary role are managed properly and appropriately, the secondary roles are less likely to develop or occur at all† (Corey, 2007). This statement is true and may be more helpful in terms that if a secondary role does occur, the practitioner or psychologist is aware of proper management and steps to take to resolve the issue or make them less problematic.
