...EST1 TASK ONE JLO Part A Company Q is not currently behaving in a positive manner when it comes to social responsibility; in fact, they seem to take an “I don’t care” attitude. They have closed several stores in big metropolitan cities citing that the stores are located in high crime areas and the stores were not turning a profit, this is very irresponsible behavior as it takes jobs away from the community, and these areas, unfortunately are the ones that need it the most. For years customers had been inquiring about the company selling healthier, organic products in which Company Q eventually complied, however, the small limited selection and high mark ups kept the customers from buying ,in turn causing the company to not turn as much profit. Finally, instead of deciding to donate day old food to local food banks, Company Q made the poor decision of wasting it by throwing it out. Company Q has an almost nonexistent attitude towards social responsibility and needs to incorporate several changes in order to turn their position around in the community. Part B Company Q can implement several changes into their stores that may improve their attitudes towards social responsibility. 1. Company Q closed several stores citing the fact that they were in high crime areas, there is a possibility these stores could have been saved if the company had made proper evaluations to find out why these stores weren’t performing well. For example, if the stores were under performing...

...IWT1 Task One Paul Gurns WGU Art from all periods share many similarities but they also have some profound differences as well. Throughout time artists have taken from prior periods and helped shaped future ones. In this essay I will compare and contrast art from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance periods. A1. Earlier Historical Art Period The Middle-Ages is a period of time between the 5th and 15th century. Most art during the Middle-Ages was commissioned by the Catholic Church. Therefore the art tends to be mostly religious in nature and focused on creating symbols of Christian concepts and values. Artwork from this period served a purpose such as teaching spiritual truths and lessons, as a meditation aid, or even used to try and convert non-believers. Since the purpose of art during the Middle-Ages was to give glory to God, it was not common practice to seek personal recognition thus many pieces from this period went unsigned. Artists from the Middle-Ages didn’t focus on realism and most artwork from this period looked shallow, flat and lacked perspective. There was little to no use of lighting and shadow during this period. A2. Later Historical Art Period The Renaissance was a period of time between the 14th and 17th century. Art during the Renaissance period was used to show the beauty in nature which included human beings. Renaissance art often depicted everyday life and was very focused on realism and tried to portray things as they looked. There was more emphasis...

...QRT2 Task 1 A1: Viability of Product or Services The demand for implant treatment has increased as patients have become better educated, and insurance companies have begun to recognize the treatment as a long term cost effective way to replace missing teeth, and to improve overall gum health. As part of their cost saving structure, most dental insurance companies have begun offering coverage for portions of implant related surgery. “According to new dental reports by iData Research (www.idataresearch.net), the leading global authority in medical device, dental and pharmaceutical market research, the U.S. market for dental implants is expected to regain double-digit growth by 2013, and will help drive the dental prosthetic market to reach over 82 million prosthetic placements by 2016.” (idata research.net, 2012) “Dental implants have earned the reputation of being the best aesthetic option for single-tooth replacement," said Dr. Kamran Zamanian, CEO of iData. "By 2016, over 20% of general practitioners are expected to place dental implants and their adoption of computer-guided-surgery will further the growth of this market." (idata research.net, 2012) In the past the treatment options were limited to extractions with no replacement teeth, dentures, or fixed bridges. All of these options were stop gap measures to maintain oral stability. The cost of progressively treating the loss of a tooth in one or more areas often involved multiple procedures and time, which made it very...

...Lindsay Wootton Clinical Microbiology Laboratory 211.2 Task 1 A. This experiment consists of four different activities. They include the fresh wet mount, direct staining using crystal violet and indirect staining using both Congo red, and crystal violet. A close examination of these examples showed that the wet mount slide examples were all the same in appearance. the cheek and yeast both appear to have some circular cells. the cheek smear was the most difficult to see. The direct staining images were very easy to make out the cells, as they turned the color of the crystal violet. The indirect staining, also known as the negative staining, used the Congo red dye and produced interesting results. The cheek smear looked like the cells were stained, rather than the background as it was explained in the experiment. It shows in the up close cheek smear, as the yeast smear didn't seem to retain the red color. It was however easier to make out the shapes of the cells. The plaque smear, retained some of the red dye but not in any sort of pattern in which to clearly be able to see cells. B. The bacterial morphologies, also known as the shape of the cells, were very easy to see with the crystal violet stain. The slides showed cocci and bacillus shaped cells. On the wet mount cheek smears it was hard to make out any shapes, but in the direct staining slides you could make out cocci shapes on the cheek and yeast smears. You could also make out some cocci on the indirectly...

...since he has worked for the company for at least twelve months. As previously mentioned, the FMLA is an unpaid leave, therefore the manager’s denial of Employee A’s request is valid. When returning from leave, all which is guaranteed is the same job and pay thus, no violations were committed in Situation A. Employee A could have used his accrued paid time off, even for a portion of his leave, in order to receive some income but, the FMLA does not require an employer to pay an employee while on leave. Situation B The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA) was passed in response to older workers finding it difficult to retain employment and to find new employment due to the rise in demand for technology and productivity. One major provision of the ADEA is that employers are forbidden from discriminating based on age at any stage of...

...TASK P6-PART B To: Store Manager From: Charlie Boorman Date: 12th November 2015 Subject: Blacklands Farm Overview of the task Firstly, we decided on doing a Bridge building task. The aim of this task was to build a bridge out of the resources provided. Our bridge had to be strong enough so it could to manage to hold a glue stick and other objects the bridge could hold. We first decided to a draw a plan for the bridge on a piece of paper. We then decided to distribute roles based on the skills certain individuals had. Freddie was the leader of the team; he started by rolling the paper to make pillars to support the bridge. At first we struggled to work as a team so he was the one that got the team focused and on track. Jack then started by building the main part of the bridge, which the glue would balance on. I then started cutting off strips of sellotape which we would use to connect the pillars to the main structure of the bridge. On Wednesday 11th November I attended a trip to Blacklands Farm where we had to work in teams to achieve a certain goal. Before we started the team building activity we had to select a leader, so as a group we decided that Alex would fit the role perfectly. We had to deal with situations in which Communication and teamwork was very important. For example, in the team building task we had were given slabs of wood which had to lay down a path to get from one side to another, but if our we took our foot off one of the slabs then they were taken...

...Brown Mackie College – Northern Kentucky Since the mid-1960’s multitasking has been one of the defining buzz words of the business world. However, most people think that they are great multitaskers, especially if you have been seeing success in your business and personal life. Yet, how do you feel at the end of the day? Tired? Stressed? Are you losing sleep time because you need more time to get those last few things completed? Are you spending more time at work, because you just cannot get them all done in eight hours? If you answered yes to any, or all, of these questions then you most likely suffer from the effects of attempting to multitask. The reality of our human world is that we are not physically or mentally capable of completing more than one complex task at a time. Let us start by defining the term multitasking. Merriam-Webster defines multitasking as: “The ability to do several things at the same time.” (1) The American Psychological Association (APA) defines multitasking in a similar fashion, but also adds the term “switch” at the end. The addition of the word switch actually tells us volumes about the true nature of multitasking. Studies show that multitasking is actually the human mind switching from one task to another. (4) In general, the switch takes only fraction of a second to complete. This quick switch gives us the allusion that we are performing more than one task at a time, thus multitasking is accomplished, or so we think. In fact, according to a study...

...General Outline for Business Consulting Reports Management 451 Your group’s report will follow a similar format. Sample consulting reports from previous semesters are available in the library on course reserve. I. Cover Page Covers are usually printed on heavy, flexible pieces of paper called “coverstock.” The main reason that “coverstock” is used is so that it can protect the document. The cover should carry the title of the report along with some extra information that will help people who may want to file it for later use. For example, you might want to list the members of the team, show off the company logo, and list the date of the final submission of the report. For more on creating a good title, make sure to carefully review section 3 (Title Page) You can create your cover by preparing your material with a word-processing program. If your computer’s printer won’t print on “coverstock,” you can print it on regular paper, and then photocopy it on heavier paper (Paula Lewis in the EMA office can help you out with this). II. Disclaimer Page A disclaimer is a statement that the company or organization hopes will limit its liability for the product or service it provides (as your instructors, we certainly do not want to be held responsible for any bad advice or research you provide your clients ☺ ). The disclaimer statement is fairly typical in consulting projects, and if nothing else reflects the seriousness of writing at a professional level...

...Personal Responsibility Essay I believe personal responsibility is an important part of success. Whether the success I am trying to achieve is educational, professional or personal. If I do not take reasonability for myself I will not be successful in anything I strive to do. It is my opinion that an important personal trait to have is organization. I believe with proper organization you can achieve personal responsibility which helps you achieve success. I define personal responsibility as having integrity, accepting consequences and the effects that an individual’s actions have on others. To me integrity has three characteristics: being honest, having values or morals, and being self-aware. I believe it is a conscious decision to admit ones mistakes by telling the truth whether or not someone is watching me. Values are used to create an individual’s moral compass telling me what is right or wrong. I feel that many values a person has is often constructed by a person’s culture as well as the individuals that raised them; I believe that a person always has the choice to reevaluate and change their morals as they choose. For a person to have self-awareness I consider if the individual is not only reliable and trustworthy but also possesses humility and are humble instead of a sense of indulgent pride. Another trait of personal responsibility is accepting consequences. I consider accepting consequences as having the courage to face the fear of what may happen because of a person’s...

Sit down before bed and write down everything you need to do the following day on a post-it or piece of paper. Writing down a list clarifies your thinking goals. i. According to Charles Duhigg in a Harvard Business interview, he says that 40-45% of we what we do is habit. ii. You want to be able to work from a list to get things done and not wing the day as usual. b. Second, set priorities on your list before you start the day working from the 80/20 rule. If you have 10 things on your list make two of them the most important than the other eight. i. Ask yourself, “if I there are two things I need to get done before the end of the day, what would it be?” and those are your two to prioritize for your day. ii. According to Atanu Dey’s article on Economics, Policy and Government, prioritizing is important because we have limited resources, all of which have alternative uses. c. Finally, begin and focus on it and only it until complete the most important task first. All success in general comes from project completion and establishing good habits to do so will help you finish what you start always. i.

...Accepted Policy Conclusion 1. Current status of the No Late Work Accepted Policy in organizations No Late Work Accepted Policy ‘No Late Work Accepted Policy’ is a plan of action adopted by an institution or an individual in order to make firm the manner in which individuals manage their roles (Jha 22). The major aim of the policy is to ensure that individuals complete a task assigned within a given deadline. The policy has many merits. Primarily, it ensures that an individual keeps time. Thus, time management forms an essential ingredient of the No Late Work Accepted Policy and is particularly crucial in managing an individual’s career, and the improving an individual’s life (Jha 24). The No Late Work Accepted Policy seeks to ensure that individuals remain focused on an assigned role. The primary intention of the No Late Work Accepted Policy is to prohibit individuals from misusing the leniency previously accorded to submission of assigned tasks. Many people treat late tasks as an exceptional occurrence, as a result, many people have developed the habit of procrastination until the assigned task is overdue and the consequences may relate to penalties and minor sufferings (Tagg 8). The policy is beneficial as it exerts pressure on individual to adhere to the deadlines provided. On the other hand, the policy acts as an effective measure to prohibit lateness in submitting...
