A Rise in Homelessness Even as More Homes Get Built? Homelessness is a state of not having a home and shows a lack of ability for one to support themselves both physically and mentally. It is a situation that affects not only the homeless individual but also the society, and the country and is a huge constraint to the development of any nation. Homeless people cannot be fully productive since the situation deprives them of the peace of mind one gets in being assured a place that they can call home. A home is essential because of the sense of belonging and security it brings.  Imagine living in an area where the law prohibited sitting down. Would it be possible to survive, having no place to fall asleep or keep one’s belongings? To a majority of the citizens, these situations would be unbearable to the extent of being ludicrous. However, to the group of people without a place to call home, these situations are part of their ordinary lives. As I walk through the street and see the despair in…

 nutritional benefits of civilization Against the backdrop of a passion for junk food, convenience foods, and an abundance of sweets in industrial production, PP helps to return to the basics of the diet laid down at the genetic level. A person needs a certain amount of protein, fat and carbohydrates per day with the calorie content that is due to the energy costs of each particular organism.   All kinds of nutritional benefits of civilization, rich in fast carbohydrates and fats, appetite-stimulating supplements, altered eating behaviour contribute to a rapid increase in body weight. When following the principles of PP, a proper nutrition system, excess weight does not accumulate. The decrease in fat reserves contributes only to an increase in energy consumption, that is, physical activity on the body.   Losing weight on PP is quite possible if the daily diet provides fewer calories than is necessary for physiological processes. There are two options: eat right, observing the daily calorie intake for the body (calculated depending on the ratio of age, height, body weight, gender and activity) and increase physical…

HR Motivation in Brett Jones in Tanzania Podcast and Script In any organization, motivation is essential to the performance of employees. Without motivation, employees will always be dissatisfied at work (Kanfer and Fletcher, 2020). According to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs for employees to be motivated, their needs should be fulfilled, starting from the most basic to the most complex needs (Mawere, Mubaya, Reisen & Stam, 2016 p. 26)). From the case study, motivation is an essential element that HG must deal with. Based on the case study, the three issues that faced HG in Tanzania included social problems, motivational problems, and leadership, and lifestyle differences. As presented in the case study, employing Tanzanian citizens based on family ties was a motivational tool for many organizations. When a company or a manager of an organization hired a close friend or a relative of the employee in the organization, the employee’s love and belongings needs were fulfilled, and hence the employee would be motivated. However, although this may increase the productivity of employees at HG due to increased motivations, HG HRM managers…

 primates have comparatively larger brains likened to other mammals Previous research has shown that primates have comparatively larger brains likened to other mammals. Such observations have led researchers to propose several accounts associated with the evolution of the enlarged size of the brain in the primate lineage. According to DeCasien, Williams and Higham (2017), ecological variables, such as diet and dental morphology, explain relative brain size difference in non-human primates. Milton and May (1976) told that primates have a strong relationship between body weight and home range area. Equally, dietary habits influence home range area, as folivorous primates occupy smaller areas for their body weight compared to omnivores. Information regarding adaptations of mammals based on anatomy is either from their teeth structure and bones or used the structures in behavior. As Kay wrote, living humans and Plio-Pleistocene forerunners have cheek teeth enclosed with a thin layer of enamel, while Homo have erect biped, thus terrestrial (Kay, 1984). Researchers have also reasoned that Paranthropus have larger molars and smaller incisors than Australopithecus, which reflect the specific functional specializations. The large molars…
