...The Purdue OWL: Citation Chart Category General Approach MLA The Modern Language Association (MLA) provides a method for source documentation that is used in most humanities courses. The humanities place emphasis on authorship, so most MLA citation involves recording the author’s name in the physical text. The author’s name is also the first to appear in the “Works Cited” page at the end of an essay. The most recent MLA formatting can be found in the seventh edition of the MLA manual. APA The American Psychological Association (APA) provides a method for source documentation that is used in most social sciences courses.

...is on recommendations and restructuring the call center and the overall performance. In my new position I have many things to review and report on with recommendations for the call-center. It is important for me to review all of the call center aspects and report based on all of the factors that can make the call center as a whole more productive and better. At first glance the call center seems to be doing fine; however, the profit margin seems to be slowing and dwindling each reporting week. In first review of the numbers it would seem that the employees are not doing their job, but the numbers show that they are taking calls, doing work, and producing. There is something missing though, so we need to find out what is missing and how we can fix this in the reporting. In reviewing the employees, Henry is the employee who has been here the longest. He has been here with the company for 2 years. We want to speak with him and get his insight into the issues with the call-center and see what can be done from the employee stance to make the center more productive. Henry met with me today and we were able to get some very informative answers about issues that he feels are directly related to the issues at hand for the employees. Some of the concerns mentioned are: * Lack of proper Training * Employee Frustration * Lack of Management Henry advised me that when he was hired he didn’t get any sort of proper orientation or training himself. He states that he was placed...

The SWOT analysis will look at the strengths, weaknesses, opportunity, and the threats that Ford Motor faces. Next, part II of the business analysis will review Fords income statement, balance sheet and cash flow to determine the financial health of the company. Last, part III of the business analysis will review the strategic initiatives of Ford Motor Company relating to the organizational and operational adaptations to the changing automobile market. SWOT Analysis The reduced availability of fuel and the economic distress of Ford suppliers place the company in potential risk. The world has experienced great woes in regard to fuel availability. Events beyond car manufactures control have caused consumers to take a second look at the way they purchase automobiles. As gas prices increase consumers seek price effective ways to travel and transport goods. SUV’s, V-8 engine cars and other gas guzzling vehicles abate consumer purchases. Ford must combat the potential risk of consumer purchase decline by producing fuel efficient vehicles while making up profit losses in the slump of sales in major Ford models such as the Expedition, Explore and the F-150, super Duty and Ranger. The following will review the outcomes of the SWOT analysis conducted...

...Lloyd Wyse Melissa Hull EN 209-014 April 18, 2012 Critical Essay: Civil Disobedience Civil disobedience is the active refusal to comply with certain laws or demands of a government, such as paying fines or taxes. Although it is not necessarily on-violent, it has classically been attributed to nonviolent resistance. The etymological origin of the term is from Henry David Thoreau’s essay Resistance to Government, written in 1849, which was eventually renamed to Essay on Civil Disobedience. Since its republication in 1866, Thoreau’s essay has inspired many important activists over the course of history. Its messages have resonated within countless people unsatisfied or disgusted with the law of the land; one of the most prominent lessons it teaches is that an unjust government can only be corrected by the defiance of its people. As long as there is an imperfect government, there will be a need for civil disobedience. Citizens of nations from all over the globe still read and learn from Civil Disobedience because even in modern times a perfect government does not exist. In Civil Disobedience, Thoreau prompts the reader to take direct action against injustice. He argues that the government is a representative of corruption and injustice that, like a machine, fuels the enabling of its wrongdoings through enforcement of law. He states that an individual’s silent compliance with the law is essentially the same as cooperation with injustices that the lawmaker commits. In particular...

...When word spread of the killing, many white settlers feared retaliation by the Nez Perce. Some locked themselves into McNall’s cabin. On June 24, 1876, the settlers persuaded McNall to ride to the county seat of Union to report the incident to County Judge E.C. Brainard. Unsure of how to handle the situation, Brainard wrote a letter to Colonel Elmer Otis, the commander of Fort Walla Walla. ‘More trouble in the Wallowa,’ Brainard wrote, ‘one Finley and McNall accuse the Indians of stealing horses, and have managed to kill one of Joseph’s band.

...to begin his career as a dialogue director. Cukor's first big hit was "Little Women" in 1933. He continued to direct films for over fifty years. In this time period, he directed another big success, My Fair Lady, which he won an Oscar award for in 1964. George Barnard Shaw (1856-1950) lived in Dublin, Ireland, before moving to London in 1876. Shaw wrote music and literature regularly, but struggled financially. In 1895 he began writing plays, creating over 60 scripts, including Pygmalion, directed in 1912, which later became his most popular play. Both stories focus on a young, cockney speaking, less fortunate flower girl (Eliza Doolittle) who wishes to one day work in a flower shop like a real lady. At the beginning, Eliza runs into Henry Higgins, a professor of phonetics. Higgins is intrigued by the girl’s...

...A critical review of ‘Crafting Strategy’ by Henry Mintzberg Strategy is a topic that receives a considerable amount of focus in both business schools and industry throughout the world (Knight and Mueller, 2004). A key debate in the field strategy is how exactly strategy is formulated. In ‘Crafting Strategy’ Mintzberg (1987) examines the distinctions between planning strategy and crafting strategy. This literature review will discuss Mintzberg’s argument and approach in the wider debate of strategy, followed by an analysis of the articles strengths and weaknesses. The position of the article in the wider debate about processes of strategy Whittington (2001) categorised strategy in to four principle approaches; Classical, evolutionary, processual and systematic. Mintzberg challenged traditional classical planning on a number of levels; Classicalist believed that the world was stable enough that strategist could accurately forecast through a rational process of deliberate calculation and analysis and that they are best created by senior management away from the operating environment (Whittington, 2001). Prescriptive strategic management literature indicates there is “a correlation between organizational performance and strategic planning, although empirical evidence is less than conclusive in this respect (Glaister and Falshaw, 1999; McKiernan and Morris, 1994; Pearce II et al., 1987; Rigby, 2001),” (Gunn and Williams, 2007, p206). Mintzberg believes that the term ‘planning...

...Marcus Garvey Marcus Mosiah Garvey, Jr.,Order Of National Hero(ONH) (17 August 1887 – 10 June 1940) was a Jamaican publisher, journalist, entrepreneur, and orator who was a staunch proponent of the Black Nationalism and Pan-Africanism movements, to which end he founded the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League (UNIA-ACL). He founded the Black Star Line, part of the Back-to-Africa movement, which promoted the return of the African Diaspora to their ancestral lands. Prior to the twentieth century, leaders such as Prince Hall, Martin Delany, Edward Wilmot Blyden, and Henry Highland Garnet advocated the involvement of the African Diaspora in African affairs. Garvey was unique in advancing a Pan-African philosophy to inspire a global mass movement and economic empowerment focusing on Africa known as Garveyism. Promoted by the UNIA as a movement of African Redemption, Garveyism would eventually inspire others, ranging from the Nation of Islam to the Rastafari movement (which proclaims Garvey as a prophet). The intent of the movement was for those of African ancestry to "redeem" Africa and for the European colonial powers to leave it. His essential ideas about Africa were stated in an editorial in the Negro World titled “African Fundamentalism” where he wrote: “ Our union must know no clime, boundary, or nationality… to let us hold together under all climes and in every country… ” Marcus Mosiah Garvey, Jr. was born in St. Ann's Bay, Jamaica...

...kind before. I have ventured between America and the always great Europe an impressive number of times and plan on being stamped at different country boundaries until my pages are worn to the core, and I am an inked mess. “Incredible, Sir this passport is quite weathered. I see you have been many the miles.” “Mr. Henry James is my name and thank you. I take great pride in my travels for they provide one with experience and insight.” With a hard stamp my pages were once again marked with the disgraceful American ink, but either way I was glad to add another traveler’s mark to my collection. As Henry continued to talk about his travels and writing, he waved me around like a trophy to behold. Although glad to be seen and treasured, I wished he would put me away and we could start exploring some more. Getting into the carriage, he slipped me into the breast pocket of his coat which was my absolute favorite spot because it was the closest to his heart. With the crack of the whip, neigh of the horses, and jerk of the wagon we were off again to spend our precious time in the almost never lovely America. Longing to return to the civilized culture of Europe, Henry patted me in his breast pocket to make sure I was still safe and to reassure me we would be...

...jurisdictions, and lastly I’m going to compare the federal court system to the state of Georgia’s court system. Let’s start with the federal court system, which consist of three tiers. The Federal Courts According to the Paralegal Professional by Henry R. Cheeseman and Thomas F. Goldman, the trial courts of the federal system is the District Courts (2011, p.211). Cheeseman and Goldman say there are 94 district courts in the federal court system (2011, p.211). Also in their 2011 book, they say the district courts are decided by geographical area and how populated that area is (Cheeseman, p.211). Lastly, Cheeseman and Goldman state that there is at least one District Court in every state (2011, p.211). Next, is the intermediate appellate court in the federal court system. The Paralegal Professional says the U.S. Court of Appeals is the intermediate appellate court in the federal court system (Cheeseman, p.211). Cheeseman and Goldman also say there are thirteen circuits, which are the geographical area that the court serves (2011, p.211). They also state that the courts can only take appeals from inside their circuit (2011, p.211). According to their 2011 book, each circuit has a three judge panel and someone in a case can request a review after the judges make their decision (Cheeseman, p.211). The last part of the federal court system is the highest court of the federal system. According to Cheeseman and Goldman, the highest court is the United States Supreme Court (2011...

...Report Plan: Company Sponsored Child Care Gabriele Piontek-Allport ENG 315 – Professional Communication Dr. J. Henry 04/13/2013 Family life in the United States has changed dramatically. The traditional “June Cleaver” scenario with dad bringing home the bacon and mom, always looking impeccable, staying home rearing the 2.5 children has become an item on the endangered species list. In today’s economic climate it takes two incomes to make ends meet. And therein lays the problem for parents. As any parent can attest to, finding good, affordable, and quality childcare these days poses a not so little challenge. In the past 3 decades millions of women have entered or reentered the workforce (Cattan, Child-care problems: an obstacle to work, 1991). Many of those women have children. Even when child care can be secured, the cost compared to income makes it not feasible, especially for a single mother in a lower income bracket, to work. For an employer this means losing a potentially valuable and qualified asset, the employee. Businesses and organizations have long been aware of this obstacle to work. Lack of child care poses a severe threat to obtaining and holding down gainful employment. Therefore, for many years now, various interest groups have lobbied the Federal Government for legislation that would grant assistance to parents with children in need of child care (Cattan, Child-care problems: an obstacle to work, 1991). Not only interest groups but also employers themselves...
