...Sir John Alexander MacDonald - ‘Canada’s Patriot Statesman’ ‘Confederation is only yet in the gristle, and it will require five years more before it hardens into bone.’ - John A. Macdonald Early Life Sir John Alexander MacDonald was a very influential political figure, originating from Scotland but carrying out his career in Canada. Being the first Prime-Minister of Canada, MacDonald spent the majority of his life living there, after he and his family migrated to Kingston in 1820. He was born in Glasgow on January 10th in 1815 and passed away on June 6th in 1891 due to a stroke. John Alexander MacDonald is thought to be one of the most important political men ever in Canada, he first came into power in 1867 and to this day his face still remains on the 10 dollar bill. In his early years he played a major part in transforming the old Tory party, which was based on narrow minded loyalist and Anglican values into a broader Conservative party that was willing to work with french-speaking Canadians in order to achieve the joining of all British North America. His personal life was not the happiest of those and was generally quite grim. MacDonald had to watch his first wife die slowly, see his son die as a baby as well as have a daughter born with Hydrocephalus. Because of this he often turned to drink to numb his pain and emotion, though this wasn’t good it was overlooked. During a campaign, Macdonald had had a little too much to drink and ended up throwing up on the platform...

Campbell was a communist who persuaded men to disobey orders and this was seen as outrageous so he ended up resigning. Economic...

...My top three storybooks from previous semesters all have something in common- other than the fact that they relate to this class. That is, they all seem like something that would be featured on The "History" Channel (not that they feature that content regularly) or the Travel Channel. Yes, these are the my most watched tv channels, excluding Food Network. I told you I was actually a grandma. Bab's Urban Myths This concept really drew me in. I really like that they rewrote urban legends and updated them in the context of one central character, who has really bad luck. And who didn't summon Bloody Mary in the bathroom of the Catholic elementary school, am I right? No? Just me? Okay. This content drew me into my strange obsessions as a child. You know the ones that made you read Goosebumps and watch Ghosthunters? The content seems like something I would like to explore- the urban legends and myths that surround us every day. Like Bigfoot, Nessie, Slenderman, or Cropsy (also that one is especially creepy). Maybe I just like the Creepypasta vibes. The Aviarium I really like the museum setting of this storybook, how it moved from exhibit to exhibit with each story. While this seemed more natural history, I also got some Black Museum vibes- I highly recommend that episode of Black Mirror. Now, just from a purely personal standpoint, I love museums. I have been in a vast amount and variety, but there is also something just plain creepy about an empty museum, about the storage shelves...

...Clive Staples Lewis “I want God, you, all my friends, merely to serve my turn.’ (As the Ruin Falls) C.S. Lewis was an atheist his whole life but became a very strong believer of God when he grew older. He wrote “After Prayers Lie Cold” and “As the Ruin Falls” about searching for God, love and happiness. Lewis’ mother died in 1908 when Lewis was only ten years old. His father was never the same after she passed away. Around that time Lewis and his brother were enrolled in boarding school. While at boarding school Lewis became an atheist, which changed his life drastically. During World War I Lewis became very close friends with a man named Paddy Moore. Sadly, Paddy died fighting in the war. Soon after that, Lewis was wounded and was discharged. When Lewis returned home he followed up on a promise that he had made to Paddy that he would take care of Paddy’s mother and sister. Mrs. Moore treated Lewis like a son. Lewis bought a house which he lived in with Paddy’s family up until Mrs. Moore died and his sister was old enough to get along on her own. (About C.S. Lewis) In 1939 during World War II Lewis and his brother took in children from London seeking refuge from bombings. During that time Lewis wrote one of his greatest books called “The Screwtape Letters”. It was one of Lewis’ best books, but he admits that it was difficult to write. The book was Lewis’ first Christian success. It portrays a person trying to live a Christian life with temptations as seen from the devil’s...

...Through out the 19th century, England engaged many artists, designers and manufactures together expanding the design border. However, in 1836 a report of the Parliamentary Select Committee on Art and Manufactures (MET) commented on how British-manufactured goods were lacking in quality. This indeed created the Arts and Crafts movement in 1860, where the movement rejected modernity and industry, mainly towards the output of British Industry. As history reaches the 2nd half of the 19th century, the mission of Arts and Crafts movement did not completely establish but instead it provided more opportunities for new designers and more options on the market for consumers. With great support of the design society one of the many talented designers stood out and influenced the style of that period, it was Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Charles Rennie Mackintosh was born in Glasgow, Scotland, 1868 where the Arts and Crafts movement was happening. The time period where Mackintosh grew up was between the influences of Japan, which significantly influence his style later on.

According to Cook “ Project failure occurs when a project is significantly over budget, takes must longer than estimated timeline, or has to be terminated because of so many problems have occurred that proceeding is no longer judged to be viable.” With Memorial Health System failed implementation of a CPOE system they had many problems including an over budgeted project, Lack of belief in project, Insufficient leadership support, Failure to respect uncertainty, Failure to anticipate short-term disruptions, and initiative undernourishment. In this paper we will discuss all six of these problems along with give possible solutions to each of them. Failure to respect uncertainty: When the system was finally implemented it was had a lot of bugs in the system. They implemented the system at all of facilities. Because of this as well as a few other issues such as lack of training the system was taken offline and they continued with the old system. The solution to this problem would have been to implement the system in one location instead of the entire hospital. This place can be used as the test facility in which you can do two things. One you can work all the bugs out and the other would be to use it as a training facility where you can send employees to get training on a system that is up and running. This will...

...Buenavista Plywood Corporation The Problem The problem confronting Mr. Antonio Garcia, the Plant Superintendent of Buenavista Plywood Corporation is how to deal with the absentee rates of the employees from Bohol such that the production of the plant will operate at capacity, with adequate workforce and the interests of the company and employees be served. Objectives More specifically, the problem resolves itself into the following objectives which Mr. Garcia has to achieve in the course of action he has to take: 1. To maintain a stable and reliable workforce; 2. To protect the company’s reputation by avoiding confrontation with formal union groups; 3. To address production problems and costs; 4. To meet the rated capacity of the plant; 5. To safeguard the long-run profitability and stability of Buenavista Plywood Corporation. Situational Analysis The Buenavista Plywood Corporation was organized in Cagayan de Oro City in 1950 by the Santiago Family. Don Jose Santiago, the present head of the family, was well qualified to carry the traditions of this prominent family. The Santiagos have been involved in politics in nearby Bohol, the ancestral home. They had been pioneering industrialists in the plywood business. Don Jose had been an early advocate of local processing of lumber as opposed to the shipping of log abroad. VISTAWOOD, the trademark chosen for their plywood, was one of the first export plywood production in the Philippines. Late in the...

...to discuss the staff management problem Arthur Reed faces every summer. Arthur Reed, a supervisor at the Blue Grocery Stores, has an issue with hiring temporary workers in sufficient numbers to cover the sick and vacationing workers for the summer months. As warehouse supervisor in charge of two shifts on the shipping dock, Arthur usually manages to run the shifts smoothly every year except in the summer months. During the summer months, Arthur faces a shortage of staff when most of his senior staff call in sick or take vacation. Arthur runs into this problem every summer and does not look forward to the frustration of trying to hire sufficient temporary workers this summer. Although Arthur has earned the respect within the industry and has 20 years experience in the grocery industry, when it comes to dealing with staff shortage, Arthur does not know how to manage the problem. If Arthur knows he will faces this problem yearly, then why does he not plan ahead to avoid the frustration? Perhaps Arthur is not managing his staff as well as he can because he is lacking in supervisory skills; otherwise, he would not have run into this problem every summer. What are the problems? Staff management and on-call workers are the problems. In my opinion, Arthur is having a problem managing his senior staff because he is not communicating with them effectively regarding scheduling vacation and call-in sick days. The reason he keeps having the same problem every summer is that there are no...

They are looking to make connections in order to have more connections for a later date, maybe for a better job or for something they may need in their current company. The vacationer mindset person is there to get away from everything not to learn. They want to get away from the office and enjoy their time away. The prisoner feels as if they were forced to be there and they come in mostly with a closed mind about the training they are attending. Rosner also speaks about some problems that people have within their organizations and how some of these problems are misdiagnosed because the proper people are not in the proper positions with the proper training. Rosner quotes from Valerie Oberfie, a former vice president at Disney University that has done business consulting and training for corporations. She says that to avoid misdiagnosing a problem businesses should do their homework (Rosner, 2009)....
