...It is imperative that President Loh makes this proposal a reality. UMD owes it to Collins, and Bowie State University (BSU). BSU is both where Collins would have graduated from, and the school is a Historically Black College and University (HBCU). UMD has a $280.3 million endowment. BSU has a $22.99 million endowment. These numbers are significant, considering that a school’s endowment is based on donors; who often happen to be alumni. Collins was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the US Army, and he was airborne certified. In other words, Collins was poised to give back to BSU generously. BSU made an investment in Collins when they accepted him into their institution. Unfortunately, President Loh’s negligence, transformed BSU’s wise investment in Collins into a sunk cost. Funding at HBCU’s is already scarce. Therefore, the success of their students is crucial to the survival of the school. The blade sunk into Collins was also a blade sunk into BSU. While Collins has passed, BSU is on life support, and President Loh should make it his duty to ensure that BSU makes a full...

...Enterprise Resource Planning - Facts, Benefits and Critical Elements for a Successful Implementation in Small Manufacturing Company Azhanorhisam Che Din 1. Introduction Imagine a world without technology, and imagine a company without Enterprise Resources Planning (ERP). Perhaps we can still survive without technology, but without ERP, a company may fail to remain competitive as they fail to respond quickly to new practices and procedures. Indeed, a company who quest for competitive advantage in this era of intense competition where business entities compete for innovation, expanding customer’s expectation and internationalization of markets, a company regardless of their size must have a reliable ERP to support them. ERP has proven to be an effective tool for competitive advantage as ERP help to delivery products of the highest quality on time, as quickly as possible and at the best price. Davenport (1998, p.121) suggests that “ERP appear to be a dream comes true as these software promise the seamless integration of the information flowing through a company. Markus et al. (2000) defines ERP as commercial software package that enable the integration of transaction oriented data and business process throughout an organization. The purpose of this paper is to discuss facts about ERP, its benefits and the critical success factors in ERP implementation especially for small manufacturing companies, which is in this paper, will sometime refer to small and medium-sized enterprises...

...It is known that media multitasking otherwise known as a concurrent consumption of multiple media forms, has been associated with negative social wellbeing, decreased cognitive control abilities, and poor academic performance amongst other issues. However, not a lot is known about the neural processes associated with media multitasking. Loh and Kanai investigated the relationships between media multitasking and the structure of the brain. They’re research demonstrated that brain structure can be altered if exposed to prolonged media use; individuals who scored higher on the Media Multitasking Index (MMI), a test produced to provide a stable measure of an individual’s trait media multi-tasking activity. Loh and Kanai’s findings suggest a possible positive correlation between the amount of media usage and an observed decrease in cognitive control, performance, and socio-emotional regulation. Although the cross-sectional nature of this study does not allow one to produce a specific direction of causality, it has done well to bring to light the associations between media multitasking behaviours and differences in brain...

"If I'm rich, you don't get anything back because your job is to pay some taxes for the betterment of society, that's the logic behind it." Panelists at the forum also shared their concerns on whether our society cared enough for the elderly, among other issues discussed. "I wanted to make sure that people don't get away thinking the only reason that we want the elderly to be well is so that they can work," said Ren Ci Hospital's chief executive Loh Shu Ching, before adding, "We shouldn't define people by how productive they are." "When we talk about a sense of purpose for the elderly, it could just be ageing actively, doing other things apart from working, contributing to the society in other ways rather than making money… you can age gracefully...

...Professor Kimberly Ward English 101-26 14 October 2014 Research Paper: Why Airport Security Should Be Stronger When we think of airport security, it’s words like “ugh” or “phew” that come about in our minds because we all know how frustrating getting onto airplanes can be. We have to be body searched, our bags have to go through an airport baggage system, and flights may get delayed due to natural causes. While it is true that airport security is an impatient job, it does not necessarily follow that airport security should not be stronger. September 11, 2011 will be a day that I will never forget. Being picked up from kindergarten by my mother, listening on the radio and hearing the fear in my mother’s voice, something was wrong. Being five years old, I knew very little as to what the situation was. At 8:45 AM ET on that day, the first plane hijacked the north tower of the World Trade Center. The building goes into smoke as bodies jump to their deaths, one by one, as life flashed before their eyes. Exactly 18 minutes later, at 9:03 AM ET, the second plane crashed into the south tower of the World Trade Center. America knew that this wasn’t an accident, but this was a terrorist attack on the United States. Situations as such make me question how strong airport security really is. It is not just terrorism that I am worried about when it comes to the strength of airport’s security systems, but other situations like Ebola coming from Africa into the United States and illegal...

...theories have been developed since time immemorial to discuss and suggest various ways through which an organization can get its workforce motivated. Motivation has been discovered not only to be factor in good performance but also a factor for self-satisfaction; no matter the approaches the theories use to explain how motivation can be attained in organizations, they all drive to one point of having the employee satisfied (Wu, 2012). This essay shall focus on Humanistic Theory of Motivation developed Maslow (hierarchy of Needs) with an aim of connecting the relationship between motivation, job satisfaction and work performance. The theory is driven towards ensuring that the management is conversant about the employee state of needs and therefore able to device proper strategies to ensure that high motivation levels are maintained among the employees for better productivity. Job Performance Issue There are numerous performance problems in work places that result from demotivation. One of the conspicuous performance problems I witnessed at my place of work was negativism, hostility and lack of cooperation by the casual employees. The casual employees were focused on how their pay would be increased rather than their productivity; there was a lot of negativity with regard to employee-management relations. The casual workers viewed the management as being mean by giving little to them as wages yet there was a lot of work for them to accomplish. This negativity brew a lot of hostility...

...TITIAN SELF PORTRAIT Name: Institution: Titian (Portrait of Himself) Titian is a high renaissance Italian painter that is famed for his paintings that dominated the 1560’s. As a painter, Titian gained fame for a self-portrait that he did on an oil canvas in his sunset years. This painting differs markedly from an earlier self portrait that he did in earlier years. In this particular portrait, the painter depicts himself as an old tired man. The portrait does not show the self-confident side of the painter that predominate his earlier works (Loh, 2007). This particular painting depicts Titian as an old bored fellow, staring into some distant place, looking lost in his thoughts. Aside from gaining fame on the two self portraits, Titian also made other notable paintings that include the paintings of sacred and profane love, assumption of the virgin, Pasero Madonna, Bacchus and Ariadne, Pierto Aretino, the Venus of Urbino among other paintings. Titian was famed among his contemporaries as a master genius in painting. He was thus given the undisputed title of the Venetian Master of Color. This name resulted from his mastery paintings that fully utilized color. His use of brushwork earned him fame in Venice as he executed classical artworks of both portraits and landscapes (Classen, 2007). The works by Titian are considered masterpieces and have been reviewed variously by different authorities notable among them being Harrt. He sees this painting as discriminatory...

...Shuo Sun – Anthro R5B - Final Paper Outline Abstract: In “The art of not being governed”, James Scott uses the example of the hill people living in the mountain region of Zomia and argued that instead of being primitive form of living, barbarians, or human beings leftover from pre-state era, these hill people deliberately move to inaccessible region to avoid state control. Scott states that the inaccessibility of the hills make them natural escape routes that can be used to avoid the sovereignty of state government. Scott briefly talks about the examples of how the defeated Kuomintang in the 1950s and the remnants from Taiping Rebellion both escaped to the mountains, but fails to talk about what happen to these people after that. In this paper, I would like to work on this missing information and find data to evaluate whether these people converted themselves to hill people permanently or did they use the resources in the hills to fight back against the state. The aim of this paper is to find out whether the primary or secondary sources concur with Scott’s arguments and discuss about the mechanism of using hills as escape routes in more details. Outline: 1. Introduction: The section introduces Scott and his book, “The art of not being governed” and points the reader to the specify topic that I will be focusing on in this paper. There will be a few sentences talking about the rationale and importance of this paper. (0.5 page) 2. Theoretical background: This section...

All rights reserved Many observers mark the beginning of the contemporary surge of company outsourcing with Eastman Kodak’s decision in 1989 to source out its entire information management to IBM, Businessland, and Digital Equipment Corp. Since this deal’s execution, now almost a decade ago, outsourcing has become a standard management device at many US firms, and corporate expenditures on it have rapidly accelerated. Symptomatic of the trend, companies signed major new contracts for information outsourcing in 1994 worth $11 billion; in 1995, $20 billion; and in 1996, $33 billion (Loh and Venkatraman, 1994a; McClellan, 1996a, b; Bettis et al., 1992; Gould et al., 1997) Business writers have so often extolled the virtues of outsourcing and have so widely reported the major deals that few US company...
