...Induction task for AS English Language and Literature. Read through the opening section of ‘In Cold Blood” by Trueman Capote & annotate it as per the narrative aspects listed below. Then answer the following question in 4-500 words. How does the author use narrative aspects to tell the story in chapter one? * Narrative Voice * Dialogue * Setting * Events * Figurative language * Descriptive language * Character * Form & structure I. The Last to See Them Alive The village of Holcomb stands on the high wheat plains of western Kansas, a lonesome area that other Kansans call "out there." Some seventy miles east of the Colorado border, the countryside, with its hard blue skies and desert-clear air, has an atmosphere that is rather more Far West than Middle West. The local accent is barbed with a prairie twang, a ranch-hand nasalness, and the men, many of them, wear narrow frontier trousers, Stetsons, and high-heeled boots with pointed toes. The land is flat, and the views are awesomely extensive; horses, herds of cattle, a white cluster of grain elevators rising as gracefully as Greek temples are visible long before a traveler reaches them. Holcomb, too, can be seen from great distances. Not that there's much to see - simply an aimless congregation of buildings divided in the center by the main-line tracks of the Santa Fe Rail-road, a haphazard hamlet bounded on the south by a brown stretch of the Arkansas (pronounced "Ar-kan-sas")...

...Provide an example of how each team type benefitted (or could benefit) your team during the balloon chair activity. Use the space provided in the table for your answers. TEAM TYPE | DEFINITION/BENEFITS | EXAMPLE | 1. | Temporary teams are hired for specific time or tasks, which would allow the business to alternate teams depending on the business needs. Due to this, the team will be focused on the task they have been set up to do. At the end of the project, the company wouldn’t need to fire the team members as they know their contract is ended at the end of the project. If the business is recruiting, creating temporary teams to do induction tasks would allow the business to analyse employees before hiring them. | Being part of temporary team to do the balloon chair would be a good as the task would get boring as the team would have to constantly perform the task on a daily basis. This could make the team more motivated to perform the task to the best of their abilities as they know they have been selected to do the task. | 2. | By building up a permanent team, the business would save themselves money on both training and salaries as they will already have a capable well-skilled team set up to complete tasks which means they wouldn’t have to re-train staff on the business’s aims and objectives and paying extra fees for the temporary staff. Being part of a permanent team gives the team stability as they know they have a secure job. Also, being part of a permanent team could...

...A Review of Induction Motors Pattinson Hayton California State University, Long Beach College of Engineering 12/03/2015 Thus far in Energy Conversion and Principles, the topics of direct current, or DC, and synchronous motors have been covered and discussed. A direct current exists in the field windings of both of these motors and an alternating current, or AC, exists in the armature windings of both of these motors. Electrical power is delivered right to the armature of a DC motor using a commutator, or the moving part of the rotary, in these motors. Because of this, a DC motor with this type of connection can also be referred to as a conduction motor. Conversely, if a motor receives power by induction, rather than by conduction, the motor is called an induction motor. An induction motor is therefore a type of transformer that possesses a rotary secondary winding. As discussed previously, both DC and synchronous motors are doubly-fed. An induction motor, however, is a singly-fed motor. With these motors being singly-fed, the construction of is different than that of other motors. These motors do not require slip-rings, a commutator, or brushes. With these components absent from induction motors, it is thus seen that there are no moving contacts between the stator and rotors, which is obviously quite different than the structure of DC and synchronous motors. Induction motors are useful due to their efficiency. The absence of brushes in induction motors eliminates...

...delivery. Governments in the vastness of their administration requirements are often unable to maintain either everyday or random tasks of service delivery. This could be due to various reasons, such as; lack of communication, misunderstanding the chain of command, individuals or groups being appointed to complete such tasks that have insufficient knowledge and/or authority required for the fulfilment of such tasks etc. etc. Such shortfalls on tasks as vitally important to a country as service delivery can cripple Government infrastructure and create political unrest amongst unsatisfied citizens. When we are referring to ramifications of this extent, it is imperative that governments / organisations implement safety measures that cover and maintain the correct execution of service delivery. Project management is a clear and concise method that can be implemented simply and cost effectively, and integrate simply into existing infrastructure. Basically what Project Management boils down to, is a simplified process of getting the right person, with the required authority and capability to manage a need, and ensure the fulfilment of said need. So instead of having various groups, reporting to various authorities, with regards to multiple tasks, you have one group of individuals, who have the relevant authority to delegate specific tasks. Service Delivery of Basic Education Curriculum Reform In a nutshell, service delivery of Curriculum Reform is referring...

...Personal Responsibility Essay Laurie Smith GEN 200 January 4, 2012 Adrianna Szymkowski Personal Responsibility Essay I believe personal responsibility is an important part of success. Whether the success I am trying to achieve is educational, professional or personal. If I do not take reasonability for myself I will not be successful in anything I strive to do. It is my opinion that an important personal trait to have is organization. I believe with proper organization you can achieve personal responsibility which helps you achieve success. I define personal responsibility as having integrity, accepting consequences and the effects that an individual’s actions have on others. To me integrity has three characteristics: being honest, having values or morals, and being self-aware. I believe it is a conscious decision to admit ones mistakes by telling the truth whether or not someone is watching me. Values are used to create an individual’s moral compass telling me what is right or wrong. I feel that many values a person has is often constructed by a person’s culture as well as the individuals that raised them; I believe that a person always has the choice to reevaluate and change their morals as they choose. For a person to have self-awareness I consider if the individual is not only reliable and trustworthy but also possesses humility and are humble instead of a sense of indulgent pride. Another trait of personal responsibility is accepting consequences. I consider accepting...

...DETAILS OF TASK In the 21st century raising money for a cause has become one of the most common form of assistance offered to people in need. These activities have attracted a lot of interest from individuals especially those in leadership. It would be of no use if these monies were collected and used for the intended purposes. It is for this reason that am going to write a project on raising money for a cause. The project will involve organizing a fund drive which will be conducted in the form of a race to help raise money for humanitarian needs. ANTICIPATED OPPORTUNITY TO PRACTICE LEADERSHIP As leadership in action student, I find that the project will provide a good avenue for me to practice my leadership skills. I intend to chair a committee who will oversee that this project is a success. These opportunities will include sourcing for finances mostly corporate, liaising with the local authority or one of the institutions to provide an avenue for the race and most of all to coordinate the day’s activities. GOALS AND OBJECTIVES The main goal of this activity is to practice the theories learnt in the leadership classes in real live situation. Interacting with people is one of the main aspects of leadership and hence, this project will equip me with the necessary experience. Team work building is another major function performed by leaders. Through the involvement of different people to make this project a success, I will be able to gauge how best I am able to solve team...

...help on homework. Sometimes this trait is detrimental, because I end up spending more time and energy helping others instead of taking care of myself. Having this trait of being supportive, I feel working in a hospital environment where being caring and supportive would fit best for me as far as this trait goes. I have worked in a hospital before and really enjoyed helping others. I don’t agree at all with the career planner suggesting that I am teamwork centered, because I honestly don’t like working in teams too much. I prefer being assigned a task, and being the sole person responsible for completing that task. The drawback to working in teams is that there is always someone who doesn’t carry their own weight, which makes completing a task much more difficult. I spent six years in the military, and during that time much of the tasks assigned to us where team oriented. I didn’t like working in teams, because when the task wasn’t finished on time, the punishments fell on the entire team. So as far as being a team player and finding employment that involves a lot of teamwork, I have absolutely zero interest in a job that requires too much teamwork. Acrait according to the work culture preference program is a demanding job. So once again I don’t agree with this program suggesting...

...conclusions based on evidence presented can be drawn. SAMPLE CASE STUDY FOCUSING ON MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES: Management Case Study Introduction Throughout the study, Shelley’s class was well managed. Explanations and evidence to support the following six assertions regarding Shelley’s management style are presented: 1. Shelley did not focus extensively on behavior management; 2. Shelley monitored student behavior throughout lessons; 3. Shelley promptly dealt with potential disruptive behavior; 4. Shelley reinforced acceptable behavior; 5. Shelley was very tolerant of student interaction and discussion; and, 6. Shelley devoted a great deal of time to task management. Assertions and Evidence Throughout the study, Shelley did not focus extensively on behavior management. On most days, the students in Shelley’s class were very well behaved and seemed to be familiar with Shelley’s rules regarding classroom behavior. On occasions when Shelley considered student behavior to be inappropriate, she provided corrective feedback in the form of non-verbal gestures or short reprimands. Once the feedback was provided, Shelley continued with instruction and did not dwell on behavior. Examples of corrective feedback statements regarding the behavior of the whole class included, “Let’s get back into control,...

...article was very helpful because it showed and explained to me the key elements that are needed when conducting a good strong job analysis. This article showed me that I needed to include both essential and non-essential task descriptions. It also gave specifics on the type of equipment that would need to be used and physical demands as well as many other things to include in my analysis. I was honestly hoping this article would help me more. Though I found some of it useful, it didn’t really help me understand what exactly I need to do to gather the information needed in the job analysis. The second article I found was by Jody Wheaton. Her article is all about how conducting a proper job analysis can improve your business. In the article she describes different ways to actually conduct a job analysis. The thing I took from this article was mostly the importance of actually doing research into the job. Because of this article, I actually sought out the HR department and found out what kind of things they would actually need in an HR reception/assistant position. I wanted to know what kind of equipment they would be using and what exactly they would like that person in that role to do. Jody Wheaton states that “Knowledge, skills, abilities, work behaviors, tasks associated with the job, competencies and cultural aspects of the organization should all be part of the data collection process.”2 I was able to add some of these aspects into my paper as well, allowing it to be a little...

...The term “scope of practice” is defined as the actions, procedures, etc. that are permitted by law for specific professions. It is restricted to what the law permits based on specific experience and educational qualifications. In order to determine a task is within your scope of practice you need to follow three specific steps like define the issue, review laws, rules, standards etc and make the decision. When we get a task to do we must clarify the specific activity and we need to obtain additional information about the tasks like the policies and procedures in the facility. Then we have to do a self-assessment to make sure that we are capable enough to do that. Because once we accept the task, we were the one accountable for that. Sometimes common practices in the facility may not be legal in terms of the tasks by the nurses. Working outside the scope of practice could potentially a reason for the disciplinary action against our nursing license by board of nursing. Based on these elements we should decide whether we are willing to accept the consequences of our own action, if not do not perform the activity. When I started working in the surgical ICU after my orientation, they assigned me a patient who was 1st day post op after bariatric surgery. I knew that nurses needs to have bariatric surgery certification to take care of the patients. I did not have that certification that time. In addition, if anything happen adversely, the surgeon will definitely ask about the nurse...
