...This semester’s research topic revolved around the Menominee Native American Chief Oshkosh the Brave, who was appointed leader of the Menominees in 1827. It expanded to include his son Chief Neopit Oshkosh, appointed in 1871, and to his grandson Reginald who was unofficially named as chief in 1913 because I needed to understand the differences in how white Americans remember and revere these individuals compared to how Menominee historians remember them but ended up finding more differences in how different white scholars remember them. Consequently, my historiographical paper is on Reginald Oshkosh (which I believe I will focus on for my Fellowship research), but I foresee my Capstone project needing to be narrowed to only include Chief...

...Introduction After completing the Student Teacher Residency program where I had a full year student teaching experience at DCIS Montbello teaching Biology, I got my first full time teaching job at Legacy Options High School. Our students come from a variety of backgrounds for a variety of reasons. Legacy Options is a pathway school specializing in credit recovery. In my classroom I receive a new group of students every twelve weeks. Many of my students are English Language Learners (ELLs). All of our current students are from a minority population including: African American. American Indian, Vietnamese, Hispanic, and Haitian. Many of my students are undocumented and from low income families. All of my students have self declared their commitment to their educations during their interview to be accepted to the school. Due to the environment at Legacy Options students are accepted only after passing application and interview with principal. That being said, if a student has proven through actions that they go in front of a panel of teachers and staff members and plead their case to stay. Then the staff votes. I have only seen this happen with three students...

...was neither an ally or a foe during the war—went through enormous conflict of its own. The three-year Spanish Civil War and the fascist dictatorship that followed are largely kept out of the American history books. Yet, the world is privy to much of its legacy through literature, art, film, and personal memory. Spain certainly remembers three hellish years of war and thirty six years of repression under Generalisimo Fransisco Franco, but how is General Franco remembered by the rest of the world? What legacy did he leave internationally? 2 It is a confused and varied one: to those closest to him he was a husband, father, and statesman; to Hitler, he was an obstacle on the road to world domination; to the Jews who fled from Hitler he was a hero; but to the many Spanish minorities and to his opponents in the Spanish Civil War he was a monster. 3 The answers to the questions posed are addressed in a variety of sources. One of these sources is the book Hitler Stopped by Franco, by Jane and Burt Boyar, who write a relatively straightforward book that explores many positive sides of Franco’s character. An alternative, contemporary view of the dictator, Franco: A Concise Biography written by Gabrielle Hodges focuses on the negative legacy of General Franco. This side of Franco rears its head in many other sources, including Hitler and Spain: The Nazi Role in the Spanish Civil War 936-939, a monograph by Robert H. Whealey. In it he focuses, as the title...

Their redesign system caters to two specific generations, the baby boomers and the younger generation. Hershey has a system in place in which the baby boomers train/mentor the new “millennial” worker (employees in their twenties) due to, “the baby boomers tend to be interested in leaving a legacy, making the world better, so they generally are enthusiastic about mentoring their younger colleagues” (Noe, Hollenbeck, Gerhart, Wright, 2011). The baby boomers are role models, coaches, and advocates for Hershey. Mentoring gives them opportunities to utilize their abilities, experience, and wisdom both to their own benefit and that of Hersey’s to guide the younger generation employed with the company.

...How Affirmative Action Ban Affect College Admission? Abstract: In this research paper I examined the effects of affirmative action ban on the university enrollment stage. The importance of this topic is that it is very contentious social issue today. In this paper I mentioned some of the experiences of African American activist Ward Connerly, examples of his movement and his opponent approach towards affirmative action. The research finds that affirmative action bans decrease the enrollment in selective universities. However, affirmative action debate will continue in the United States. From research discussions I find that affirmative action carries out emotional reaction, because the concern is the inequality in education. However throughout the research I found some confusions and mixed proofs for that concern. Affirmative action in college admission is one of today’s most argumentative social policy issues. The supporters of affirmative action view it as a just response to past or present discrimination, stress the social benefits of producing minority role models and leaders, and claim that there are educational benefits to diversity. At the same time its opponents contend that it is an impediment to achieving a race-blind society and may even be harmful to those it is intended to directly benefit. The issue has been in headlines as affirmative action in college admissions has been limited in recent years by court decisions...

...we still see in effect today. I see Apple products and devices every where I go especially school. Here at Voorhees Middle School every student is given an iPad to use and, that would not have been possible without the Apple I. Without the Apple I beginning the PC age, we could still be using computers the size of two rooms in order to learn. Apple has changed the way that we learn, and we use our iPads in class everyday in order to do homework, take notes, and study. Without Apple we would still be doing homework and notes on paper which would be a waste of paper and cost the school a good amount of money....

...Amanda Pacholski DB #1- Module #1 Key Topic Definition Motivation, according to Merriam-Webster online, is “the act or process of giving someone a reason for doing something."(Merriam-Webster) Summary of Selected Article The article titled "Entrepreneurial Motivations: What Do We Still Need to Know?" written by Alan Carsrud and Malin Brännback, discusses the under researched area of entrepreneurial motivation. With this article, Carsrud and Brännback, "attempts to renew interest in a line of research that largely has been ignored for two decades but which is critical to the study of entrepreneurial cognitions, intentions, and their conversion into entrepreneurial behaviors," and "that area is entrepreneurial motivation"(Carsrud et al. 2011). They do this by showing how "entrepreneurial motivations are important explanatory mechanisms for a variety of entrepreneurial behaviors," and "how such motivations may impact both intentions and subsequent behaviors"(Carsrud et al. 2011). This was written in hopes of getting researchers to remember entrepreneurial motivations and their greater role in an entrepreneur's behaviors. Discussion about Selected Article According to Ward (2011), a business owner's motivation will change during the owner's life cycle with the business. For a person to want to become a business owner or to become an entrepreneur, they have to have some sort of motivation behind it. Carsrud and Brännback are challenging researchers to dig a bit deeper, to...

...languages into the workplace to enrich the accuracy and speed of software development. My claim is that programmers now are so far into coding and no one else can understand it, with object-oriented languages, programming with pictures, it will be fun and anybody can do it. The research that I will conduct to support my claim will feature discussing past programming methods, systems that do not use methods and those that are using it to amplify work production. In addition to this new easy to software languages available today why not upgrade and safe time and money. Thru evaluating and exploring programs across the country and even the world, I can determine how and why object-oriented languages are necessary to today’s working environment. How the project topic is influenced by (and/or influences) history, culture, media, and/or the arts from a national or world perspective These are some of the major advantages of OOP. Simplicity: software objects model real world objects, so the complexity is reduced and the program structure is very clear. Modularity: each object forms a separate entity whose internal workings are decoupled from other parts of the system. Modifiability: it is easy to make minor changes in the data representation or the procedures in an OO program. Thus, this will influence the world perspective that programming is not so hard. Audience The intended audiences for my proposal are software development companies. I believe that I can encourage them...

...Sir Branson Sir Richard Branson, Chairman, Virgin Group, Ltd Case Study 5/23/2012 BUS, 520 Abstract Sir Richard Charles Nicholas Branson (born 18 July 1950) is an English business magnate, best known for his Virgin Group of more than 400 companies. In 1970, he founded Virgin as a mail order record retailer, and shortly afterwards he opened a record shop in London. With around 200 companies in over 30 countries, the Virgin Group has now expanded into leisure, travel, tourism, mobile, broadband, TV, radio, music festivals, finance and health and through Virgin Green Fund. (Finkle, 2011) For the purposes of this discussion I have been tasked with answering the following questions related to leadership in a question and answer format. With the first question I am to describe Branson’s leadership style in terms of the leadership models addressed in Chapters 10 and 11 of the text and evaluate the likely effectiveness of that style in the U.S. today. Afterwards I am to, recommend a different leadership style (or combination of styles) that would make Branson an even more effective leader. Along with, determining how Branson would develop and lead a global team working on a major project (e.g., space tourism). Followed by the last question where I am to discuss how you can incorporate...

...interoffice memorandum to: BILL macleod from: John Doe subject: FUSILIER TALENT ANALYSIS date: [ 6/3/2012 ] As follow-up to your request, I am providing an analysis of the current talent situation at Fusilier and recommending immediate and longer term solutions to support a talent strong organization in the future for Fusilier. My analysis is as follows: Case Analysis Probable Causes of Talent Dilemma Based on analysis of Fusilier’s current situation there appear to be several contributing factors; as Fusilier seeks to transform it’s business from a product centric focus to one of a business solutions focus, there has been no clear definition of market strategy and organizational alignment to accomplish the new strategy. As a result, there is: * No clearly defined assessment of the roles and skills required to support the new strategy * No clearly defined staffing process * No clearly defined talent review process to assess the existing talent’s ability to support the new strategy Alternative Solutions for the Immediate Situation 1) Identify the skills required to support the new “solution selling” strategy and analyze which of the current sales people have the skills to succeed in the new solutions focused environment. Fusilier could establish two separate sales teams with the existing personnel. One team focused on product selling and one team focused on selling solution services. Pro(s): Fusilier would be able to align sales resources...

...Skipping My Harvard Reunion (A Call to Action) Posted: 05/06/2014 8:51 am EDT Updated: 07/06/2014 5:12 am EDT In a few weeks, the Harvard class of 1989 will be reuniting in Cambridge. There'll be mini-TED talks, a "Taste of New England Dinner," and a chance to sing with the Boston Pops, but I'll be spending the weekend coaching my son's Little League team and hanging out with my family. Reunions seem unnatural to me. I refuse to participate in the charade of pretending to be surprised to see a classmate, and when I'm asked, "What have you been doing?" as one inevitably is, I never know where to draw the line between "stuff" and the full, self-reflective version one might share with a close friend. I think too much detail implies an exaggerated sense of self-worth and is hence a greater faux pas than too little detail, so I've always hewed closer to the "stuff" version, but this runs its own risk of suggesting you don't think the other person is important enough to merit the full telling of your own story. It's a minefield and, in the social media era, one that's entirely avoidable. I've never been unable to locate an old friend or classmate online. It's particularly easy for graduates of Harvard, which maintains a great alumni website--it's where Facebook started, after all. Anyone interested in me can find my professional record on LinkedIn, family photos on Facebook, and many hilarious tweets. If one wanted to have a real conversation--as opposed to an exchange of resumes--my address...

...that many countries bid to host these events suggests that the benefits – be they tangible or intangible – more often than not outweigh the costs. However, some experts claim that it is almost impossible to achieve goal and provide a successful result. Therefore, the research question is : Do cities benefit from international mega-sporting events or it is just "showing-off"? When a city or nation is awarded the privilege of hosting a mega event, they are almost always required to enhance or develop their infrastructure. The developments which are created from these events are known as legacies. However, these legacies have a great risk to become "white elephants" ( Barclay, 2009,p.3). Thereupon, my research project was directed to understand do facilities in Almaty which were built for 2011 Asian Winter Games are used today and provide help for national athletes and the city. Result showed they do, but not without problems. However, legacies can come in many forms such as economic, tourism or sporting. Consequently, summarizing everything I have and answering on the main question it is clear that it is possible to achieve the best and positive outcome from hosting a mega event ,but a well-considered and actual legacy plan is essential to providing long term benefits for the local and wider communities. Impact of mega-sporting events 3 Introduction Can you imagine that since the Modern Olympics began in 1896,...

...The science of quantum mechanics is about the idea that particles can sometimes act like waves, and waves can sometimes act like particles that have zero mass. In 1927 Linus was named assistant professer on California Tech´s staff theoretical chemistry. Soon after he was amde a real professer an the university for chemistry. He left in 1963. Next he started with chemical structure. He started by figuring out the structure of many inorganic compounds.The Pauling attempted to understand the rules that control the molecule. He next went on to anticipate that the chemical and physical properties of atoms and ions. Then in 1930 he studied the structure of amino acid and small peptides. On April 6, 1931 he published his first major paper. It was called ¨The Nature of the Chemical Bond¨. He received an award for it called the, American Chemical Society's Langmuir Prize. He recieved this for the most accurate work in science in thirty years. Next in 1939 he published ¨The Nature of the Chemical Bond and the Structure of Molecules and Crystals¨. This book is known as one of the most important books in chemistry. He then won the nobel prize in 1954 for this. In Middle 1930´s he was interested in the structure of biological molecules.Then in 1947 he was on a trip in Europe, he started talking about world peace in every speech he gave, and that he is going to give in the future.Also in 1957 he wanted a petition to call off all nuclear bomb testing.The next year he introduced...
