...The Change Process at Concord Bookshop Meagan Petersen, RN BSN University of Phoenix HCS 587 The change process is a three-fold process that begins with unfreezing, followed by moving and then refreezing. These steps are based on the quasi-stationary equilibrium theory by Kurt Lewin. This theory looks at the system involved with the change and focuses the interventions of the parts of the system: the individual, group, or organization (Schein, 2010). When discussing the Concord Bookshop situation, none of the change process was completed correctly. The company failed because change was not implemented well. The unfreezing part of the change process seems to be the hardest. It requires the change agents to create disconfirmation of the participants (Schein, 2010). In regards to the Bookshop, the employees never understood that their environment was not creating profit. When unfreezing, the way the change agent involves the employees so that they understand the need for change is vital. Abruptly changing the middle-management structure without any discussion was implementing change incorrectly. The step of moving, proposed by Lewin, requires searching for solutions (Schein, 2010). When change is thrust upon a group, for example, employees, there is no input by the participants and therefore, less likelihood the change is implemented effectively. If the employees would have understood the need for...

...oldwitchcraft.com 3 INTRODUCTION The science of numerology can be traced back thousands of years. The Chinese, Japanese, Greek, Hebrews, Egyptians, Phoenicians, early Christians, Mayans, and Incas all used some form of numerology to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and the universe. Numerology is perhaps the easiest of the occult arts to understand and use. All you need is the birth date and the complete name of an individual to unlock all of the secrets that the numbers hold. (Most authorities agree that the full birth name as recorded on your birth certificate is the name that must be used for all calculations involving name.) There are eleven numbers used in constructing Numerology charts. These numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, and 22. Larger numbers that occur from adding the numbers in the complete birth date or from the values assigned to each name are reduced by adding the digits together until the sum achieved is one of the core numbers. Merely add the components of the larger number together (repeatedly, if necessary) until a single digit (or the "master" numbers 11 or 22) results. Each of these numbers represents different characteristics and expressions. Master numbers are the only exception to rule of reducing to the single digit. The master numbers 11 and 22 are intensified versions of the single digit number they replace (2 and 4). These numbers suggest a potential for a high degree of learning and/or achievement very often in a more stressful environment...

...8½ Produced by Angelo Rizzoli. Directed by Federico Fellini. Screenplay by Federico Fellini, Tullio Pinelli, Ennio Flaiano, Brunello Rondi. Viewers expecting to sit back, relax and switch off for a couple of hours - this film is not for you. A barrage of dream sequences interrupted by brief encounters with endless characters; this is a piece of shamelessly self indulgent psychoanalysis on Fellini's part. Of course, this is exactly what he intended. The main character is that of Guido (played by Fellini himself) a director unable to complete his latest film and loosely based on the identity of his own creator (Fellini). Fellini has been able to achieve the effect of mise en abyme not only through the dream sequences but also with this being an autobiographical piece. Viewers are intentionally lulled into the false belief that they are watching a film about Fellini, not the character Guido. Throughout, obvious references to the films chaos and irregularities are made by characters through their criticism of the unfinished, fictional film. When giving Guido notes on his film, one character calls it 'a chain of gratuitous episodes' which pretty much describes Fellini's 8½ to perfection. In another scene Guido is criticised for his obsession with depicting 'Italy's Catholic conscience' which is also a reoccurring motif of Fellini's. He plays this game with the viewer by highlighting the inadequacies of his own film through the criticism of the fictional one. An endless array...

...Homes for the homeless The U.S. Government defines affordable housing as housing that consumes 30 percent or less of a household's income. Using that definition, millions of people in the United States do not have affordable housing; that number is presently growing .In this day in age there should be affordable housing for the less fortunate. The purpose of the suite of Make Home is to bolster a damaged and fragile economy by helping families who have difficulty making mortgage payments as a result of reduced or lost incomes, lost jobs, and other unfortunate situations that can arise during periods of economic decline that are beyond control such as debilitating illness and death. Started by the Obama administration, the Make Home Affordable program is designed to assist struggling families with a suite of programs, including targeting monthly mortgage payments with the Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP), the FHA-backed Home Affordable Modification Program (FHA-HAMP), the Veteran’s Affairs Home Affordable Modification Program (VA-HAMP), the Principle Reduction Alternative (PRA), the Second Lien Modification Program (2MP), and the United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Special Loan Servicing program. The homeless epidemic is constantly rising. Worldwide there is an estimate of 100 millon people are homeless worldwide. In the U.S. estimate about 1.37 million of the total homeless population in USA are children under the age of 18. 40% are families with...

...| The Concept of Program Reengineering | Modern Public Administration PAD 500 | Professor William Roberts | Torrence J. Bellamy | 2/25/2012 | | The Concept of Program Reengineering The case study of Mayor Schell’s Zero Homeless Family Strategy discusses the homeless problem in Seattle, Washington (King County) and the strategies used to address the problem. Mayor starts his term off with a dramatic pledge that there would be no homeless families with children or any homeless single women on the streets of Seattle by Christmas of that year (some six months from date of pledge). The pledge itself might easily be viewed as a political move to provide a “quick-fix” solution to a very complex and long-standing problem. While Mayor Schell’s policy choices in this matter had some success, they were met with scrutiny and counter proposals by homeless advocacy groups and city financial managers. This paper provides an analysis of the mayor’s policy choices, analysis of the pre-implementation and design strategies, as well as discussion of steps taken to reengineer the program. It also addresses the importance of conducting proper assessments before implementing new programs. The policy choices related to Mayor Schell’s plan to address homelessness include: targeting homeless families with children and single women for “immediate emergency assistance”; focus on creating affordable housing; expanding shelter and/or emergency housing availability; and providing...

...Colorado. Any individual or family that is homeless in Colorado, or is at risk of becoming so. Section 8 All N/A Rental assistance to eligible individuals and families who rent units in the private rental housing market. Low-Income Families and anyone who is homeless. The Section 8 program is a federal program that provides rental assistance to low-income families that have incomes below 50% of the area median income. In order to qualify, the families must be income eligible, without any recent drug or violent criminal activity. Eligible families are afforded to rent safe, decent and sanitary housing in the private rental market. The family pays 30 percent of their adjusted income towards rent; and HUD subsidizes the remaining portion directly to the landlord via DHA. However, the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless is a private organization that advocates for and provides a continuum of housing and a variety of services to improve the health, well-being and stability of those it serves, whether it is a family, disabled veteran, mentally ill individual, or a single man or woman. Depending on the circumstances that you are in, the qualifications and eligibility requirements will be different. They have programs that offer housing facilities with lowered rents for low to moderate income families, or transitional housing for an individual whom has been approved for section 8 and is waiting for a...
