...Complex Challenges and The New Leadership Leading is more complex and requires new approaches, new mindsets and new skills. The context, the landscape of leadership, is changing for a number of reasons - complex challenges, increased expectations, technology.There are 4 requisite skills for leaders of the future:Leading employees. * 1: Leaders “delegate and develop”. * They are willing to delegate important tasks and decisions. This is done as an effective management technique, but more importantly, as a means to develop employees. Providing challenge and opportunity builds skill, experience, and confidence. As a result, effective leaders surround themselves with talented + and patiently listen to concerns.Managing change Effective leaders are skilled at facilitating organizational change and overcoming resistance.

Semantic Structure of Polysemantic Words………………………………………………….. 3. Examples of Polysemantic Words……………………………………………………………. Conclusion…………………………………………………………………………………………. References………………………………………………………………………………………….. Introduction The following paper is devoted to the theme “Divergences in the semantic structure of words”. The semantic structure of words presents a complicated problem .The only exceptions are some groups of monosemantic words. Divergences in the semantic structure of words of the Sourse and Target languages are one of the primary cases of lexical transformations. These divergences are connected with certain peculiar features of a word or a group of words. Even words which seem to have the same meaning in the two languages are not semantically identical. The primary meanings of correlated words often coincide while their derivative meanings do not. Thus there is only partial correspondence in the structures of polysemantic words as their lexical semantic variants do not cover one another. Semantic correlation is not to be interpreted as semantic...

...idea of the story is that real parents should pay enough attention to their children, to bring them up properly in order that there wasn’t conflict’s in their family. So in the beginning of the story we have an exposition, where we get to know about the main character Charlie Stowe; the time of the seen is night. Charlie Stowe waited in his bedroom until he heard his mother snore. Then we got to know that it was the time of war, as ’searchlight passed across the sky,… seeking enemy airship’. Then Charlie draught the thought the cracks in the window frame. We have a detached construction in the second paragraph from the world ‘But the thought of the tobacconist’s shop…’ where author pays our attention to the fact that Charlie wanted to smth with it. then we see that he was 12 years old and that boys at “County school” nocked at him because he had never smoked a cigarette. The author uses periphrases concerning to cigarettes “The packet were piled twelve deep below”. The cigarettes were called Gold Flake and Players. The author compares his father’s “little shop” with the Reszke, Abdulla, Woodbines which under a “thin haze” of “stale smoke” - epithet, which disguise his crime. To point out a steal author uses parallel construction “his crime”, “it was a crime”. Then author tells us Charlie didn’t love him at all, to prove it Graham Greene uses comparison: he was unreal to him, a wraith, pale. thin,...

...Some products seem to have their own personality. Of course, the products can’t have a psychological make-up necessary to have a real personality; however consumers identify them with some human characteristics or personality traits. Do you remember any product that seems to have its own personality? I have selected three in this presentation, three drinks. RED BULL The first drink is Red Bull, a brand that leaves no one indifferent. Let watch a commercial. What are the traits of Red Bull personality? * Adventurer * Love extreme sports (hiking, extreme snowboard, bungee jumping , trial, motocross, rafting) * Risk-Seeking * Young * Strong * Self Confidence (you need it to practice this sports) * Self-Improvement When we see Red Bull we think I this kind of people, as Felix Baumgartner. These people represent Red Bull Personality. However, the personality of its consumers it is not just the same. Here we can see some examples, the teen who mix it with alcohol to have more energy during a party, or the student who need to be awake. POWERADE Our next drink is Powerade, a drink usually connected with professional sports as we can see in its commercials. What do you think are the features of Powerade’s personality? * Hard Worker (necessary to achieve their success in competition) * Muscly (it attracts some consumers, specially teens and young male) We have a lot of famous athletes that have been the image of Powerade, such as most of NBA...

...Econometrics (Economics 360) Syllabus: Spring 2015 Instructor: Ben Van Kammen Office: Krannert 531 Office Hours: Friday, 10 a.m.-noon Email: bvankamm@purdue.edu Meeting Location: KRAN G010 Meeting Days/Times: TR 1:30-2:45 p.m. (001) TR 3-4:15 p.m. (002) TR 4:30-5:45 p.m. (003) Course Description This is an upper division economics course required for students pursuing a BS in economics. It is one of the few courses that explicitly covers empirical methods, i.e., the analysis of observed economic behavior in the form of data. Empirics stand in contrast to theory, e.g., micro and macro, about how agents behave. Despite this under-representation, empirical analysis comprises a large part of economists’ workload and is one of the most practical skills that an economics student can learn. Course Objectives In this class students will: 1. perform statistical and practical inference based on the results of empirical analysis, 2. identify useful characteristics of estimators, e.g., unbiasedness, consistency, efficiency, 3. state predictions of theoretical economic models in terms of testable hypotheses, 4. model economic relationships using classical methods, such as Ordinary Least Squares, derive the properties of estimators related to these methods, and 5. perform estimation using methods discussed in class using software, 6. perform diagnostic tests that infer whether a model’s assumptions are invalid, 7. evaluate empirical models based on whether their resulting estimators...

The functions of the MATLAB are solving equations, plotting 2D, 3D graphs, calculating statistics, etc. The aim of the report is to describe how Tic-Tac-Toe game simulation was made with the help of MATLAB. The report describes how program reads the code and computer strategy for winning/not losing in the game. Theory. The aim the individual coursework was to program 4x4 Tic-Tac-Toe game for player and computer using MATLAB with condition that computer should always win or just not loose. Programming the game basic loops such as “while”, “for”, “if” were used, where “while” means to repeat smth until some particular conditions are holding, “for” means to do smth for particular conditions, and “if” means to do smth if some conditions are true. There also were used “sum” function which helps to count “X”-s or “O”-s in rows, columns, diagonals and basic commands for matrices. Methodology The game is played in command window, using the matrice 4x4, where “X” is 1, “O” is -1 and empty cells are zeros. The main algorithm of the program is on Graph 1. Graph 1. The main algorithm of the Tic-Tac-Toe program. The game is starting by choosing randomly either computer is playing for “X” or for “O”. Then first...
