...Communication180 Summary 3 Wrinkles in Space-time This article provides the in-depth information about how Interstellar was made and how the use of computer generated imagery technology made it helpful for people to have a clear view and better understanding of the movie. As I noticed, this movie article was written before the movie was made. I have personally seen Interstellar and I found it to be a bit confusing film because it explains kind of parts of space that not all people are aware of. But, lately there have been a lot of sci-fi movies that have been made which showcase people a lot of things through different imagery technology that gives people a different kind of view to see all these things. For example the movies like Gravity and The Martian were very well portrayed and gave people the example of what it feels like there. At the same time, Interstellar is very well explained in this article and now that we think of this in a different way, I feel that the imagery technology has been very progressive and definitely gives people another look altogether. Even though the movie Interstellar was a bit confusing, it was real at the same time as explained in the article how it was all mathematically planned. All we can do about something like black hole is imagine and make random assumptions. But there are people out there who have studied these things for years and have come to various conclusions. The imagery technology puts all these things together and shows...

...Communication channels In my organization, communication channels are not be used at this time. We are a new clinic going into our 11th month of operation. Communication is poor and is really affecting productivity and morale. Workers are applying for new jobs and resigning with less than one year of operation. The lack of communiction and the flow of information has been interrupted, because our Leaders were not trained formally to lead an organization. All of our leader have never been in charge. They have only worked for an organization and had no knowlede of what it takes to keep the internal instructure of an organization together. When we first started in Febuary 2011 a small snow storm hit San Antonio, Tx and our communication channels were tested. The leaders and staff members had no phone numbers to call in Emergencies or disasters. Some of our staff members came to work and others did not, because communication was not established at the start of hiring. Leaders and staff members never set down together and discussed Emergency and Disaster plans. There are many communication channels that need to be established in every workplace. Lack of clarity, and communication must be sent in multi-directional and multichanneled. Meaning emails, phone calls, face-to-face, and rehearsals. Miscommuincation leads to mistakes, money loss, and could lead to harm of workers. The next paragaraph will discuss some things a leader needs to establish to improve communication...

Autocratic leadership is strongly focused on command by leader and the followers. The clear division between leader and group members, and making decisions independently with no input from the rest of the group.

...Compare and contrast 3G wireless networks to 4G networks in terms of: Network architecture User perceptions Today 3G wireless networks and 4G networks are used as the standards for mobile communication. Used most commonly in smartphone devices. They are both sufficient but they run differently. Comparing 3G networks to 4G networks is like comparing standard television to high depth television. They both work but one can work better depending on the viewer who is using it. All different carries are complaint with 3G networks including WCDMA, EV-DO and HSPA. The 4G networks are known as LTE, WiMax and UMB (DIFFERENCE btw 3G & 4G). The service and application between the two are very critical for when a consumer wants to purchase a phone. A significant advantage between the 4G over 3G is QoS support. “ “QoS (Quality of Service) , is a technology that is used by land-based data networks. Basically, QoS makes it possible to vary priority levels for different data streams. For example, VoIP is usually given the highest priority to ensure flawless connection quality. Same with watching online HD videos – they usually get higher priority than other data. The implementation of QoS in 4G networks will enable people to use VoIP applications, such as Skype, on their mobile phones without any loss of quality. It will also enable users to watch high quality online videos straight from their mobile devices” (What is, 2012). Another differance between 3G and 4G that is the speed...

...Megan Coburn Professor Tabitha Kenlon ENGL1111 19 March 2013 Giving gifts to get what we want- Gifts with an Ulterior Motive For thousands of years communication has been construed ambiguously. Regardless of whether it’s what we are feeling or what we need, the fact remains that humans have a hard time conveying everything they want to say during conversation (with verbal speech) and, likewise perceiving it. With regard to these factors, I wish to examine the underlying motives behind the process of gift giving, throughout the centuries, in different contexts and across various cultures. Individuals offer gifts, symbolically, for many reasons and in varying circumstances. Gifts may be distributed ritually, or in such a way that they distinguish hierarchies. They may also be used as a sign of affection when wooing a partner and are frequently utilized in business relations. It is important to note that there exists a difference between gifts given to other people and gifts given to oneself. A gift giving behavior is defined as a “process of gift exchange that takes place between a giver and a recipient.” (Keng, Kau Ah, Wang, Quain, and Mohammed Abdur Razzaque, 214) In the opinion of Schall, “culture is a rule-based phenomenon,” in other words, to be considered actively apart of a culture one is required to observe and conform to all of the implied and tacit rules that society deems apropos. Circumstance or situations are an important aspect of these untold rules that...

...Intercultural Project Brazil is a county located in South America and has the fifth highest population in the world. According to geert-hosftede.com, one of the biggest differences between the U.S and the Brazilian culture is the individualism. In the United States, individualism is practiced 91% compared to Brazil with 38%. People in the United States think more as “I” compared to Brazil which think and act more as “we”. In Brazil, power distance is practiced a lot because all the individuals in the society are not equal. Also, the power holders have more benefits than the less powerful in the society. In Brazil the power distance is 69 compare to the United States with 40. When it comes to masculinity, the score of Brazil is 49 and the United States 62. Reading with scores the United States is more driven to success, achievement and competition and Brazil has a lower score. For long term orientation, the United States scores lower than Brazil with 26 and Brazil scores is 44. This being said, Brazil takes more pragmatic by encouraging thrift and efforts in modern education as a way to prepare for the future compare with the United States. According to geert-hofstede.com, “At 76 Brazil scores high on UAI – and so do the majority of Latin American countries. These societies show a strong need for rules and elaborate legal systems in order to structure life. The individuals need to obey these laws, however, is weak.

...part one: strategic case Sundown Bakery When Carol Teinchek and Bruce Marshall first started Sundown Bakery, the business was fairly simple. Carol ran the shop up front, while Bruce ran the bakery and ordered supplies. When the business began to grow, Carol hired two part-time clerks to help out in the shop. Marina had moved to the country 2 years ago from El Salvador, and Kim was a newly arrived Korean who was working his way through college. Bruce hired Maurice, a French Canadian, as an assistant. The ovens were soon running 24 hours a day, supervised by Maurice, who was now master baker, and two assistants on each of three shifts. Marina and Kim supervised the shop, since Carol was usually too busy managing general sales distribution to spend much time with customers. Bruce still spent 3 or 4 hours a day in the bakery whenever he could get out of his office, but he spent most of that time coordinating production and solving problems with Maurice. Within the next year, Sundown expanded from its original location, adding two new shops as well as two kiosks in local malls. Carol and Bruce hired a new operations manager, Hans Mikelson, who had formerly been regional manager of a national chain of coffee shops. Mikelson had plenty of new ideas about how to operate an expanding business: He had a Web site created, added an extensive range of drinks and meal items to the menu, and instituted two dress codes—one for all counter help and another for kitchen employees. He also put...
