...Geoff Powell 4/30/14 Org. Behavior Apprentice Synthesis I. The first principal learning I took from the Apprentice series is having a balance of a manager to take charge and lead while knowing when to pull back and let your employees do the tasks they are assigned to do. Throughout the series there are many examples of project managers who did poorly in this area. In episode 1 Erika on team Protégé tried to huddle her team and create a game plan but never made a decision and moved on to the next task at hand. An incident that occurred vice versa was during episode 2 when Sam was the project manager and was too harsh on making decisions and micromanaging his teammates who felt that his leadership was inconsistent. Lastly in the last episode, Kwame showed a leadership style of being more laid back which led Omarosa to make pivotal mistakes, while Bill was so frenzied during his gold tournament that those under him felt like they were micromanaged at times because he had to make sure that every task was completed and done the right way. II. The next principal learning I took from the show was that when managing a team or group and you have people who wonder off and become problems, it is your job to real them back in and motivate them at the task at hand. In the beginning of class you said managing someone is manipulation. Although this is an intense way to describe it, in this case, it is the only word appropriate. In episode 2, Jason was the project manager for Versacorp...

...Paul Manafort, who was President Donald Trump’s campaign chairman, is accused of a conspiracy against the United States and illegal obtainment of money. He now has a tough road ahead of him and as a result, needs a victory in his upcoming trial. If he does not get it, he may have to spend up to 80 years in prison. Given the strength of the FBI case, it is going to be almost impossible for Manafort to get out without paying some type of price. Paul Manafort was born into a real-estate family and was involved in many political works throughout his life time. In 1976 he advised President Gerald Ford’s campaign and started to establish deep and sometimes dark connections in Washington and around the world. Democrats in the state of Washington were always suspicious about his international work and now in 2017 they will find out about how they were right to have their doubts about Manafort. Manafort campaigned for Donald Trump, and now is being accused of committing several federal crimes before and after he was Donald Trumps campaign manager. (Relman and Bertrand) On Monday October 30th, Paul Manafort was charged with several federal crimes. One of the crimes he was accused of committing was a conspiracy against the United States. He planned to confer offenses against, and to defraud the US government. “The Justice Department indicted Manafort on 12 counts, primarily money laundering and false statements, none of which involved his work for Trump. The oldest of the allegations...

...Name: Alan Sugar Born: 24/03/1947 (Age: 66) From: Hackney, London Famous for: He's the man who loves to say "You're Fired!" on his hit television show, The Apprentice. Relationship status: Sir Al is married to his wife Ann. Twelve years younger than his three older siblings, Alan Sugar was the child of low-income, working-class Jews and raised in Upper Clapton Road - England. By the age of 12, he was rising at 6am every day to boil beetroots for a local ‘greengrocer’. Four years later, Sir Alan's earnings, after school and at weekends, were far better than his father, Nathan, who worked in a tailoring sweatshop. Leaving school at the age of 16, Sugar proceeded to obtain a post in which he worked briefly for the civil service as a statistician in the Ministry of Education. He also started selling car aerials and electrical goods out of a van he had bought from his £50 savings. In 1968, aged 21, he set up his own business, selling electrical products from intercoms to retractable car antennas and called it Amstrad, referring to (Alan Michael Sugar Trading). The company began as a general importer/exporter and wholesaler, but soon specialized in consumer electronics. By 1970, the first manufacturing venture was underway. He achieved lower production prices by using injection moulding plastics for hi-fi turntable covers, severely undercutting competitors who used vacuum-forming processes. Manufacturing capacity was soon expanded to include the production of audio amplifiers...

Some characteristics I love about Mr. Trump are his willing to learn from his mistakes, his “can do it” attitude he doesn’t take no lightly, and his ability to work under pressure. Questions I would love to ask Mr. Donald Trump is how much he makes a week? What are some investments does he have? What is his net worth in a year? What is the biggest threat in your company?

...Adnan Jaafar Kate Goschen English 90 5 June 2015 How International Students Deal with Culture Shock The population of international students in foreign countries continues to surge in recent years with students coming from a range of nationalities. For instance, according to the Institute of International Education, “Over 723,270 international students intended [sic] U.S. Colleges, universities and institutes in the 2010 – 2011 school year” (Foreign Students). The number of foreign students in the United States has been increasing gradually over the past few years. “Numerous universities specifically take measures to attract international students for financial reasons as well as a measure to enrich the college environment and add diversity to the students’ population” (Hser 37). However, many international students have been facing many challenges and problems to adapt themselves to the new foods, activities, cultures, customs and languages in the foreign country. The process of adapting, understanding and recognizing these changes is called culture shock. The deep understanding of the meaning of culture shock, the stages of culture shock and the solutions to overcome culture shock can reduce the rate of culture shock problems. The phrase “culture shock” denotes the anxiety that can be experienced when people move from a familiar culture to a different culture. It can affect anyone who travels to a foreign country at any time, perhaps especially international students...

...world. Few people know the actual history of both companies and the competition they have been in over the years. It’s an interesting history on how both companies started and how they have developed and challenged each other over the years. George Eastman, who was the founder of Kodak, started his business career as a 14-year old boy when he had to quit school and work to support his mother and two sisters. Mr. Eastman had a gift for organization and management while his lively and inventive mind made him a successful entrepreneur by his mid-twenties. What sparked the idea of a simple camera was that his coworker suggested he make a record of his vacation to Santo Domingo. As a result, he became absorbed with photography and wanting to simplify the photography process. Eastman started Kodak in 1880 and built it on four basic principles: mass production at low cost, international distribution, extensive advertising, and a focus on the customer. Later on he added the following policies: foster growth and development through continuing research, treat employees in a fair, self-respecting way, and reinvest profits to build and extend the business. Mr. Eastman started the company by manufacturing dry plates for sale to photographers. One mishap almost shut down the company when dry plates that were sold went bad. Eastman came up with a quick solution to recall the bad plates and replace them with a good product. His quick thinking saved the company and the company’s reputation...

...Born into Brothels is a documentary focusing on the lives of a group of children who were born and live in the “red light” district of India, specifically the children of prostitutes. The documentary was well received by critics and won multiple awards, including an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. With such positive reception, it is important to examine what made this documentary so successful; its success can be broken down into two main components, method of delivery and subject matter. The film is shot almost entirely by a single camera, with no additional cameramen or microphone equipment. Much of the footage from the early part of the film was not intended to be included in the documentary, but was a side note of the Zana Briski’s original intent filming her experience in the red light district of India. However, as she got to know the children she began focusing the filming more on them and their situation. This leads the camera work related to the children in the early part of the file to be very rough, as Briski is often holding the camera while trying to interact with the children. When Briski is not holding the camera it is in a stationary position filming her, so it cannot capture the children’s part of the scene easily, only their voices. This is one of the film’s strengths, as it gives a first person feel to the storytelling, placing the viewer with the children and in the city just as Briski experienced it rather than just observing it in travel log...

...Intro: Traffic light cameras are becoming more common at the major intersections in Colorado. The “Stop Running Red Lights” program was created to raise safety awareness and reduce traffic fatalities. Americans are in such a big hurry and there are more crashes at intersections from people trying to run the red light. Red-light cameras are designed to assist communities to control traffic in enforcing laws by photographing the vehicles as the driver’s run through the red light. However if your photo doesn’t come in clear they cannot prove who the driver of the vehicle was at the time of the offense. They began installing these cameras over the last seven years and overall they have not demonstrated a decrease in property damage or bodily injury.Two cities in Colorado, Fort Collins and Greenwood Village, have actually reported intersections where accidents have actually increased since they began enforcing the red-light cameras. The city is spending a lot of revenue installing these cameras and is this really about saving lives or just bigger revenue for “Big Brother”. This program has not demonstrated a significant reduction in bodily injury and proven to reduce the number of accidents involved at intersections. I drive down Santé Fe daily and I’ve observed many drivers’ speeding down the street to get past the light because the traffic line is too long. If Driver’s are now trying to speed through the light to beat the camera, how can this program be effective...

...How does Cope so powerfully convey her feeling about the past in this poem? Wendy Cope is a very sarcastic and ironic and sarcastic poet and her poems often express different messages and feelings through her poems. She does this though her descriptive techniques her prevailing language and her ability to create a setting. This essay will look at how Cope powerfully conveys her feelings in the poem “On finding an Old Photograph.” In the poem Wendy effectively builds a picture for the reader to give them an insight on what the picture is like. She often does this by using onamatipia; “women dressed in white blouses that brush the grass.” The onamatipia occurs on the word ‘brush’ this helps make the poem all the more real for the reader. “In an apple orchard, sunlight patching his stylish bags;” this quote sets the place for the photograph again expanding on the ambience of the setting. Wendy moves on to mention the time and location, “Yalding, 1912”, the fact that this photo was taken in ‘1912’ is interesting because it is the year that the Titanic sank and this sets a bad tone for the poem, it implies to the reader that there are no good memories coming from this photograph. The descriptive techniques really do send across powerful feelings to the reader. Cope has written the poem in a very mysterious manner, it is made to clear to the reader that the poem is about her father as it mentions this is the first line of the first stanza but it is never clear who “a child with...

...Elliott Brown Jr. Professor Deborah Willis Culture, History, Imaging, and Photography Studies December 6, 2011 Model as a Muse In my short career as a conscious photographer, which stems back to my junior year of high school, I have noticed a decisive pattern in my selection of models for my photographs, which lend their selves to fashion specifically, or at least attempt to. While I have not yet developed a particular favor for the aesthetic of one model over the next, it is my experience that the best models, the most responsive, self-aware, intelligent models, are the ones in which I was able to fall in love with. My models usually being women, I could not photograph her if I could not establish some relationship with her that transcended the superficial. I had to spend time with my models, grow with them in some way and understand them, and them myself, to the point where I only needed to provide them with the most minimal of direction during the shoot, and the rest they were able to guide independently. More generally speaking, the relationship between a photographer and those models who remain a distinctive presence in front of the camera amid the “make-up, hairstyling, and clothing being documented” (Koda and Kohle), is particularly fascinating in it’s ability to create additional layers of depth both within the assembled image and the ever-evolving idea of feminine beauty. Accordingly, photographers and designers have been able to portray their artistic visions...

The main goal for Habitat for Humanity is to build houses for people who have low income, or for people who do not have a place to live. Also they want would-be homeowners to help them in the building their house and to get others to decrease the cost of owning a house. The website for Habitat for Humanity gives a good example of how they can help people who want to help others in being able to own a home of their own; through its links, slideshow of pictures, and how they can be contacted with ease without having them to have a hard time trying to find what they are looking for; unlike some websites. The first thing that stands out on the website is the links. It is set up so that a person can click on them and it will take them to where they want to go. Some of the websites that people go to look at have a whole lot of information cluttered up together; making it hard for people to find what they are looking for. The website has two places for finding links. The first set of links can be found at the top of the page and the other set of links are found in the middle of the page. The links in the middle of the page are bolder and more colorful for people who might have visual problems, or to make it easier for people to find their way around the website. For example, if a person wanted to become a volunteer without having to...
