...Grocery Shopping Walking through a grocery store you can find all different sorts of people. There’s the people that only need a few things and use a basket accordingly, there’s the people that have a smaller list and are not expecting to buy a lot but somehow when they get to the check out their cart is overflowing, or there’s always the person with three carts generously filled. It is the people that fill the baskets, carts and occasionally their own arms that keep a grocery store in business. Because of this, most employees are extremely polite and helpful when it comes to the customers; but that does not stop the customers from being rude not only to each other but to employees as well. The customers who need only a few things are often the rudest shoppers. Normally this is due to the fact that they are in a hurry. It seems as though they think the whole grocery store revolves around them and their few items. They weave in and out of other shoppers and cut off an employee that is trying to help another customer. When these shoppers need help finding something they are often demanding, impatient, and just plain rude. They tap their foot while an employee tries to find what they are looking, and if the employee comes back with bad news such as: they no longer carry that item, they are currently out of that item, or even they never had that item, that’s when the adult who should be mature and understanding throws a tantrum fit. They yell at the employee and demand to...

...This assignment was designed put us, the student in a situation where we are placed in the supervisor position. In this assignment put the supervisor in a position of having to pick and choose what tasks to do themselves and what tasks should be delegated out after coming in and finding their basket full of tasks that need to be dealt with. When you obtain the position of supervisor, there is usually far too much for just you to do, therefore it is important to learn what to delegate and who to delegate it to. The most important tasks should be done by the supervisor but as far as things such as someone’s vacation hours and stocking merchandise for the store, those tasks should be delegated out to the assistant manager and to the store clerks. Being a supervisor means being in a role of leadership, logic, common sense, and decision making for yourself, the employees, and for the company. The “in Basket” debate and discussion gives us and our fellow classmates the opportunity to see if we can successfully delegate out certain tasks as a supervisor at a fictitious company. The discussion between me and fellow classmates was a great one and it appeared as though everyone agreed on everything accept for different incidents. The only two incidents where I came across disagreement were in regards to task number 3, and task number 4. These are the examples in which I will be using in this paper as far as disagreeing is concerned. Task number 3 is in regards to the mall hours changing...

...JERREL BETHELMY ART AND CRAFT SCHOOL BASED ASSESSMENT FORM: TABLE OF CONTENTS Stenciling- 3 Tie Dye 4-5 Embroidery 6-7 Painting 8 Macreme` 9-12 Basket Weaving 13 STENCILING Stenciling is a technique of imprinting letters or designs on cloth, paper or other types of materials through the use of a perforated or cut-out tool called a stencil. Prehistoric man, as early as 9,000 BC, was the first to incorporate the stencil printing technique into their surroundings, by placing his hand against the cave wall and blowing pulverized pigment around it. Examples of this early application can be found in caves in France and Spain. Today, this technique is extensively employed for decorating wallpaper, ceilings, textiles and furniture. Artist would normally use an x-acto knife to create this type of design. Also, a stenciling brush is important because they are effective in completing the design. They are round and short with stiff bristles and are used to dab the paint unto a paper, piece of fabric or bristol board. Candle wax yet another way of making a stencil design and can be placed onto the Bristol board so that the paint will not go on unwanted places. On my stenciling project I made a flower which looked just like this TIE DYE TIE DYE is a technique for dying natural fabrics that results in interesting colorful patterns.

...Exercise 7-2: “In-Basket” The role of a supervisor can vary from mentor to disciplinarian, and an important trait of an effective supervisor is the ability to distinguish between tasks that should be delegated or acted upon. Many supervisors lack the common knowledge of what is necessary to entrust his or her subordinates with assignments. This can be harmful to the department’s business objective. Therefore, informed, willing and capable of what is required of a supervisor will ensure an effectively operated department. The basics steps of delegation make the process simpler like following an instruction manual. It is a guide that every supervisor should follow. During the research conducted with other team members on a hypothetical situation involving the supervision of a retail store, a list of tasks were left for the store supervisor to either undertake or delegate to the employees. Some of the items on the list were unanimously agreed upon and certain others were not. Many factors come into play when delegating or retaining duties as a supervisor. For instance, the management pyramid within an organization may determine the length of responsibilities each department supervisor may hold. Although ideally a supervisor governs the daily responsibilities, some of them are controlled by upper management. The reluctance to assign undertakings to subordinates may fall on the company philosophy. Department supervisors like other people do not always make the correct decisions...

...Exercise 7-2,” In the Basket” By: Shannon Quinn Supervision and Leadership, Course Number 210 Due Date: July 8, 2012 Professor Craig Slone One task that my classmates and I agreed on was that the mall needed notification of the store hours changing due to the holiday. I believe that we all agreed to act on because it is important that the customers know when there is going to be a change. This should be done when pricing is different, the hours of the store change or any other information for that matter. People especially customers; do not like to be kept in the dark. As a customer if I see a sign about a shop that I like to go to, I will stop and read it. I think this is partly because I’m nosy, and the other part is because I want to know what is going on in the store that I spend my money in. Most of the time people are okay with changes as long as they know a head of time what is going on. Now if the store didn’t post the holiday hours and I came to the store hoping to do last minute shopping, and a customer came to it and found it closed, I’m sure they would be pretty unset. Within the discussion thread that I and two of my other classmates participated in, I learned that we disagreed on the two applications for jobs. I do believe that my attitude played a part in my decision. There were some other ones that we disagreed on, but I chose this one to do my paper on. It is very hard for me to delegate authority. Sometimes I think it is just easier for me to just...

...ball that is shot into a basket positioned horizontally. The objective to shoot the ball is scores which are gained by following certain rules of the game. The game is played by 2 teams constituting 5 players each who play on a marked rectangular floor with baskets on both ends. The game of basketball was invented by James Naismith in 1891. James Naismith was a physical education teacher at McGill University and later at Springfield College (then Y.M.CA.) at Springfield, Massachusetts. Under the guidance of physical education specialist, Luther Halsey Gulick, he invented basketball as an indoor sport. Basketball was originally played with soccer ball and Naismith used a peach basket (with non-hollow bottom) nailed at a height of 10 feet above ground on an elevated track. Considering the manual removal of ball from the basket a drawback, the bottom was removed to take the shape of modern day baskets. Dribbling was not a part of the game originally and evolved eventually until 1950 with balls gaining better shape from manufacturing. Also the orange ball evolved from the brown ball that was used at the beginning to be more visible. By the year 1906, the peach baskets were replaced by metal hoops with backboard. A referee tosses the ball between at the center of the court between the two players; one from each team and the player who gets hands on the ball passes it to a teammate. To score a goal, a team has to shoot the ball through the basket. A shot scored from a...

...The conclusion endorsed in this argument is that the woven baskets, which are previously thought to be unique in Palean, are found to be not conform to its reputation as "Palean baskets". To substantiate(bolster) this assertion, the arguer points out evidence that archaeologists has discovered such a "Palean" basket in Lithos which is an ancient village across a river from Palea. Furthermore, he indicates that the ancient Paleans have no ability to cross this river. At first glance, the author's argument seems to be cogent, but close scrutiny reveals that it is unconvincing in many aspects. In the first place, the author unfairly assumes that no Palea's residents have ever been to Lithos for there is a river across them. While the arguer doesn't provide us sufficient materials such as geographical data or certain historical recordings to prove Palean was seperated from Lithos. Maybe they can just walk or tramp over hill and dale to Lithos. Even if the only way from Palean to Lithos is across the Brim river, the author's inference rests on the poor assumption that during thousands of years this river is always deep and broad. It is highly possible that this river is shallow and narrow or just not exit in prehistoric era. What is more, the author gratuitously mention that the ancient Paleans could have crossed the river only by boat and no Palean baskets have been found. Why should they have to come to Lithos by boat? A small raft or a simple drawbridge could be more convenient...

...In a Basket MGT/210 Version 3 Supervision and Leadership Regarding the discussion for the assignment in a basket between all of my class mates and I everyone pretty much had the same ideas in solving the issues. Most of us agreed upon which ones would be delegated and which would be acted upon. I noticed that many of us chose to delegate jobs like the rest room is out of order and the 130 pairs of shoes to be stocked away. These are jobs in my opinion I feel that an employee are hired for and is something that can be delegated to the other employees to do. There are mantinence and stocking and important for the emloyees to accomplish. Also there were some of us that agreed that certain jobs were important to be acted upon such as the notice from the fire department for the upcoming inspection. This is important to make sure everything is correct and up to date. If not the companies can get fines and it would not be safe for the employees in case of an emergency. A notice from head quarters about the upcoming holiday sale is also another that many of us agreed should be acted upon. This is because there is a lot to get ready and to make sure everyone is aware and knows what is going on. All fellow students had there own reasons for certain jobs being delegated or acted upon. When discussing with my classmates about some of the options...

...At the Chahta Immi Cultural center one can find many fascinating products of Choctaw culture but the most highly sought after and prized of all Choctaw cultural items are the baskets. For centuries Choctaw artisans have been producing baskets of many different shapes, sizes and patterns. Authentic Choctaw baskets are always produced from the cane that is abundant along creek banks and in the marshy areas of this part of Mississippi.

...The Differences in Market Basket’s Leadership Market Basket opened the first store in Lowell, Massachusetts in 1916, and almost one hundred years later, the family owned and operated company has expanded its chain to seventy one supermarkets across Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine. By all accounts, the grocery store chain has been very successful, generating four billion dollars in revenue in 2012, and making a profit of over 200 million. (Kohn, S. 8/1/2014 Market Basket Workers are Right; Retrieved from: www.wcvb.com) However, a change in leadership has brought on a temporary demise of the company, providing evidence that a great leader is the backbone upon which an organization thrives. Arthur T. Demoulas was elected president of the Market Basket board in 2008, and managed a successful and happy company. Under the direction of their leader, the corporation continued to expand its operations and in turn reap profits. Arthur T. Demoulas possesses many qualities that define a transformational leader. The most significant characteristic that defines Arthur T Demoulas is his approach of leading by example. While many employees of large corporations do not even know their CEO, Arthur T. Demoulas was busy earning the respect and loyalty of his employees by being involved, in the trenches, doing whatever he was capable of to support the company and its 25,000 employees. In the words of an employee “The store takes on the personality and traits of its manager…now...
