...Jenny Ramos HCA 240 1/16/2013 Tirizia York Explanation of the Monthly Budget A variance report is a report where it demonstrates and compares the cost for our hospital. This reports shows what the budget was estimated for, the actual amount spent, and the variance. The variance means what we profited in or lost. I work in one the few bigger hospitals as a finance manager. There was recently a tornado that killed eight people, destroyed over a couple dozen homes, and injured about hundred people. Obviously, this was an unexpected event that had impacted my budget. Many of these patients did not have medical insurance, therefore, we were not receiving as much profit as we were losing. Even though my Vice President was aware of the tornado he asked me to explain and write out a variance report on why we went over our allowed budget. I wrote a letter of explanation for our Vice President which gives details on why did not meet our budget. This is a letter intended to explain why our monthly budget results were not as planned. For this month, we exceeded our monthly budget. This month our salary cost was higher than what was budgeted. Our budget count estimated for salary for our employees was 200,000 dollars. This budget was supposed to cover the salary for the whole hospital. The actual amount calculated was 240,000. The variance for this was 40,000 dollars. This means that our budget was exceeded by twenty percent. As you already know there was a tornado in our city...

...The Stimulus Jens Korf (2017) refers to the concept of stereotype and uses one definition of a stereotype to be a “generalised perception of first impressions”, that is established off someone’s physical appearance to determine a type of person or group. The relevance of this concept is that I have experienced an encounter where myself and Jack who is an Indigenous Australian, were randomly selected for a search. However, upon participating I was not searched and told to leave. The Police offers were mumbling amongst themselves as I heard them say, ‘the dark ones always have something on them’. Jack was being stereotyped of his skin colour and his race in what the Police thought would determine a criminal outlook. In studying this unit, we...

...John Forbes Nash Jr., was a "mathematical genius.'' He's won countless awards, had many breakthroughs, and even had a book written about him, which was later produced into a film. Nash was born on June 13, 1928 in Bluefield, West Virginia. His father, John Nash, was an electrical engineer, and his mother, Margaret Virginia, was a school teacher. He had one younger sister named Martha. Nash attended Carnegie Institute of Technology through a full scholarship, first majoring in chemical engineering, and then later switching to mathematics. He graduated in 1948 at the remarkable age of 19. Afterwards, he attended Princeton to further his education in mathematics. While he was at Princeton, he worked on an equilibrium theory, later earning his Ph. D degree in 1950 with a 28-page dissertation on non-cooperative games. This equilibrium theory is now better known as the "Nash equilibrium." The Nash equilibrium is a part of game theory, and is defined as a solution concept to a non-cooperative game involving two or more players. Game theory explains how people and groups approach complex decisions. It looks at how peoples decisions affect others. Nash equilibrium is so commonly used in so many diverse fields, such as, international relations, psychology, and economics. "Nash equilibrium refers to a condition in which every participant has optimized its outcome, based on the other players expected decisions." Game theorists look at these decisions not individually, but as part of a...

...I fulfilled one of my personal dreams this year, but not without headache and heartache along the way. While I knew that this play was going to be all worth the twists and turns, there were things that stood out to me that I thought I was prepared for but turned to be the most painful yet fascinating and necessary experiences I have ever had. One of my favorite coaching lessons that I read from Jen Sincero in her book You Are a Badass and could fully relate to during this process is this: Birthing your dreams is like … giving birth. Conceiving the idea is the fun part (hopefully), then you go through insane amounts of fear and excitement and dreaming and planning and vomiting and growing and thinking you’re crazy and thinking you’re awesome and...

...Ever since Nick Viall was picked as The Bachelor 2017, there have been rumors that he dumped Jen Saviano to go on the show. These two started talking on Bachelor in Paradise, and it looked like a love match might have happened. Us Magazine shared that in a recent interview with reporters Nick is finally responding to these rumors and revealing if they are true or not. Nick actually did a conference call on Wednesday, December 14 where he answered a lot of questions. Lauren Himle actually claimed that Nick Viall was dating Jen Saviano up until a week before he left for the show. When you are cast as The Bachelor, they talk to you and see if you are interested before actually telling you if you got the job. They do talk to more than one person. Accusations were that Nick dated her until he found out for sure that he got the job....

...Research indicates that 1/2 to 2/3 of children living in such extreme circumstances grow up and “overcome the odds” and go on to achieve successful and well adjusted lives. Being resilient doesn’t mean going through life without experiencing stress and pain. People feel grief, sadness, and a range of other emotions after adversity and loss. The road to resilience lies in working through the emotions and effects of stress and painful events. Being resilient is important if you want to become like Bill Gate, or any other successful person. I believe that Louis Silvie Zamperini, Sardar Milkha Singh, and Maysoon Zayid all displayed resilience though out there respected lifetimes and have become such successful people. Louis Zamperini was , if I do say so myself, the most resilient person I have ever learned about. Zamperini lived in Torrance, California with his Italian, immigrant family. His family and him knew little to no English. So went he started kids would bully him, because he didn't know any English. At times, the bullying would turn physical. So in order to protect himself from amy more harm, Zamperini learned boxing. Somehow, Zamperini got into so many fights that he became addicted to fight people. Zamperini got so uncontrollable that he even went to juvenile prison. His parents, even though they love, thought that he would end up doing some pretty dark stuff when he grows up. Things took a big turn, for the better, when Zamperini attended Torrence High School, his older...

...The Third Dumpster The Third Dumpster by Gish Jen is the story of chinese brothers; Goodwin Lee and Morehouse, relocating their parents to a new home. Jen writes the story in a comical contrasting way. The language and ideals of the brothers contrasts that of their parents. Jen uses many constrasting sentences throughout his story in the conversations of Goodwin and Morehouse. The language used by Morehouse and Goodwin’s parents, is funny and prejudice. Jen begins the story by telling us that the brothers have bought a house for their parents because they couldn’t climb the stairs in their apartment anymore. ’’..they had been Americans for fifty years and could no longer belay themselves hand over hand up their apartment stair rail to get to their bedroom..’’ here Jen uses some contrast that isn’t out in the open, he states that even though they had been americans for fifty years they couldn’t bring themselves up the stairs. The contrats can be found in their age saying that ’’they had been americans for fifty years’’ before they were able to climb the stairs now they can’t. Jen continues the story with the brothers as they are fixing the house and now need a place to dump their garbage. Here Jen shows a contrast in society and how it affects some people, ”Goodwin was out scouting for dumpster. Becuase this was what the recession meant in their neck of the woods…” ’’He (Goodwin) did not, of course, like the idea of illicit trash disposal; he would have perferred to do this...

...Landevejen 5 timer tidligere… Jens kørte, langs en ensom landevej, der var ikke nogen byer, inden for de nærmeste 10 kilometer. Lige pludselig hørte han, et brag og det venstre fordæk eksploderede, inden han nåede at tænke over hvad der var sket, eksploderede det højre fordæk også. Bilen slingrede voldsomt og kørte ind i et stort grantræ, han kravlede ud af bilen, der var overhoved ikke noget tilbage af forhjulene. Han havde kun fået småskrammer, et par rifter her og der, men alt i alt var sluppet billigt fra ulykken? Han gik hen ad vejen, og 50 meter henne fandt han to aflange sømmåtter, som lå med 10 meters mellemrum, var der nogen der bevidst havde prøvet på at få nogen til at køre galt? Jens gik tilbage til bilen, for at finde sin mobil. Han fandt den, men skærmen var blevet knust da han kørte ind i træet. Shit hvad skulle han nu gøre, han var strandet i midten af ingenting og hans mobil var gået i stykker. Han besluttede sig for, at se om han kunne finde noget henne af vejen. Lige da han skulle gå væk fra bilen, fik han øje på noget, inde mellem træerne. Inde mellem træerne var der en lille rydning med et lillebitte hus plantet i midten, Jens besluttede sig for, at gå hen til huset. Han gik langsomt hen til huset, da han kom hen til det, lød der et dunk og alt blev sort. Da han kom til sig selv, var hans hænder bundet på ryggen og hans sad i noget der lignede en kælder. Han havde en dunkende smerte i hovedet, men han fik ikke lang tid, til at tænke over det, for nu kom...

... Gish Jen: “In the American Society” American Prose Project “In the American Society” is a short story wrote by Gish Jen. It was first published in 1986 in The Southern Review (Hunter,”MELUS Interview” 6). The short story “In the American Society” was the spring board for her novel Typical American. The author Gish Jen was born Lillian Jen in 1955 in New York. Her pen name Gish was her nickname in high school. Gish is a second generation Chinese American. She is one of five children. Her parents were educated in Shanghai and emigrated separately to the United States around World War Two. (TuSmith 1) Her father was a hydraulic engineer who had been invited to the United States to assist in the war effort and her mother was a young socialite who had been sent to the United States for graduate education. Neither was able to return to China following the communist takeover there. Now permanently in the United States, her father felt he was living “in no world”; he did not become a U.S. citizen for many years. (Lewis 1) Gish Jen’s work has been instrumental in introducing Asian American cultures to a reading public that, for the most part, has been casually familiar with an ethnic community that remains stereotyped in the United States. Jen’s presentations of Chinese families in the United States are so fully human, humorous, and admirable that they counteract bigoted preconceptions. (Lewis 1) When “In the American Society” was first published Gish Jen received...

...Case Study: Reasonable Accommodation Stephanie Gunnerson The University of Akron Jen Holmes stood with a group of about twenty young adults outside an Apple retail store after closing time, watching through the glass walls as employees inside cleaned the store and it grew steadily darker outside. She was waiting with the others for a group interview, nervously wondering what to expect. After about a half hour some of her fellow interviewees were getting impatient. “What is taking them so long?” “I’m about to break through this glass.” Jen heard some of the others making comments like these, but she kept quiet, not wanting to complain and feeling more shy from nerves. Instead she ended up making small talk with the man next to her, wondering why he was wearing ripped jeans to an interview. They had a short but pleasant conversation. After a few minutes they saw an employee walking toward them to unlock the door and let them in. Following the others to the rows of seats set up in the back of the store, Jen took a seat and watched as the young man she had been talking to outside walked up to the front and started speaking: “Hi, I’m John and I’m an Expert here.” Jen was stunned that the person she had been talking to was actually an undercover employee, but she was immensely pleased now that she had said nothing negative while waiting outside and that she had had a good conversation with John, knowing it could only help her chances of getting hired. John went...
