...that spanned across several states, everyone began to learn more about the serial killer, Ted Bundy. For months and years thereafter, he gained a great deal of attention throughout his arrest, trial, guilty conviction and execution. What motivated this intelligent, former Boy Scout to commit such horrendous acts of murder? Why do some people kill and others who come from similar environments do not? Why was Bundy motivated to conduct several interviews while on death row, including the one on the eve of his execution? These questions will be the basis for this reflective review of Ted Bundy’s life and behavior that led to unthinkable tragedy for many families. Ted Bundy granted an interview to Dr. James Dobson the night before his scheduled death. In this interview, he tells Dr. Dobson that he grew up in a Christian home with two parents and was not the subject of any form of abuse. Then, what could have possibly motivated him to abduct and murder the children and young women he so carefully selected? According to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, after we satisfy our biological needs we move on up the pyramid to satisfy our personal and social needs. I believe when Bundy reached level 3, satisfying his love and belonging needs, things started to unravel in his life. He was plagued by fears and doubts of himself through grade school, into high school and on into college. I believe Ted Bundy may have killed because of jealousy and out of vengeance due to never really having...

...[pic] Henry Schwartzman -- Quality Giant (A) Henry Schwartzman -- Quality Giant (A) Enrique Schwartzman (Henry for short) came to the U.S. in the early 1950's from Chile. When he arrived he vowed to make something of his life and provide his young family with all the benefits he had been denied. Today he is a graduate of a prestigious Eastern engineering school, and after thirty years of hard work, he feels he is nearing his dream of success. His success is evidenced by his recent promotion to Manager of Quality Control at Walsh Cosmetics, reporting directly to the Plant Manager. At a party thrown by his former engineering group, his colleagues had jokingly bestowed upon him the title of Quality Giant. (Henry is only 5' 4" tall). As he surveyed his spacious new office, he thought of the many long years he had spent as a mechanical engineer. Somehow he had never envisioned himself becoming a manager of Quality Control. But here he was, waist (waste?) deep in an area where he had received little, formal academic training. Henry was not particularly worried. His training in engineering had been quite rigorous and he felt he could handle whatever technical preparation was needed for the new job. Additionally, before assuming his new duties he had spent several weeks at a quality control (Q.C.) training program run by one of the foremost Q.C. consulting firms in the country---Lopez, Lopez, and Associates (LL&A). The Lopez twins (Lopez J. Lopez and Lopez X. Lopez)...

You make good friends with your TF, and learn so much about the daily life of a chemistry graduate student. I cannot thank Liz enough for staying late for us to work up a reaction or helping us take extra NMRs when we ran out of time during class. Austin is phenomenal at teaching: he not only explains concepts extremely well but also gives very good advice on life after Harvard. And Ted will give you very useful insight on your reaction during weekly group meetings or at your midterm/final paper presentations (probably with some Twizzlers in his mouth). At the end of the year we all went out for dinner through the Classroom to Table Program, and it truly felt that the class was a family working together towards learning advanced inorganic laboratory techniques. You will miss, however, Austin, who is moving away, but don’t worry because Ted always chooses the best people to work...

...The talk that I viewed was A Tale of Mental Illness from the Inside by Elyn Saks, a psychiatrist who discussed how she deal with her chronic schizophrenia. After listening to his video, I have learned several knew things about schizophrenia, an illness that can be controlled by drugs and therapy. In her speech, she asked the audience to see people with mental illness clearly, honestly, and compassionately. The first key thing I learn is that psychiatric patients are viewed and treated differently by the society. Most patients are restrained everyday against their will even though people know that restraints are bad on psychiatric patients. As per Elyn Saks, “restraints must be painful, degrading and frightening.” Patients should...

...“Cyborg: a person whose body contains mechanical or electrical devices and whose abilities are greater than the abilities of normal humans” (Merriam-Webster). Neil Harbisson, self-proclaimed cyborg is standing on the platform at the TED Global Conference 2012 in Edinburgh, Scotland in quite a colorful ensemble with something that looks like a microphone attached to his head. This immediately captures my attention and I start wondering where this is going to go. Harbisson is both human and machine. He was born with a rare optical condition called achromatopsia, which means he is completely color blind. He has never seen color and his world is in grayscale. He immediately captured our attention visually and making a declaration that he can hear color, definitely draw the audience in immediately. He reviews the how and why, which are the two main points to declare. I would definitely give him a 10 for originality, importance and how he conveyed his message....

...2000, was founded in 1985 in an Iowa farmhouse by Ted Waitt, the son of a fourth-generation Iowa cattleman. Armed with a rented computer, a three page business plan, and a $10,000 loan guaranteed by his grandmother, Waitt dropped out of the University of Iowa to pursue his dream. Gateway’s early value proposition was similar to what it is today: offer products directly to the customer, build them to their specifications, provide them with the best value for the money, and offer unparalleled service and support. Waitt’s start-up company had $100,000 in sales in its first year and by 1993 it became a Fortune 500 company with sales of nearly $3 billion. The company’s rapid growth continued throughout the ‘90s, reaching a peak of more than $9.6 billion in 2000. Over the past 18 years Gateway has been a technology and direct-marketing pioneer. It was the first company in the industry to sell computers online, the first to bundle its own branded internet service with a PC, and among the first direct retailers to sell its own branded consumer electronic products. In 1996 the company became one of the first “brick and click” retailers when it introduced a nationwide network of Gateway Country stores. Today, the company has nearly 200 stores where customers can try out Gateway products, get advice from technical experts, and learn more about technology in classes offered in high-tech classrooms. Underlying Gateway's growth has been Ted Waitt’s vision that technology should be fun, easy...

...to HCI and a Bid to “Save the World” In 2005, Nicholas Negroponte addressed the World Economic Forum with a computing idea to “save the world”. (1) Less than three years later, the One Laptop Per Child initiative (OLPC) launched into distribution with unprecedented cooperation of the United Nations, corporate funders, and governments organizations. Though it is early to review the success of Negroponte’s OLPC initiative, it provides us with an opportunity to explore the implications for rethinking the roles and responsibilities of individual researchers as key ethical players in the equitable design and distribution of technology. With corporations seeking new consumers to distribute technology and bridge the rapidly shrinking digital divide, it’s valuable to ask these questions while there is still time for researchers to contribute their leadership, vision, historical perspective, and critical thinking to ethically inform and guide this process. This paper will review Negroponte’s contributions to HCI and explore linkages to historical figures of the field. In addition, this paper aims to critically review Negroponte’s influence as an advocate for universal usability and the OLPC project. Architecture Machine Group In 1967 Negroponte founded the Architecture Machine Group at MIT. Researchers in the group invented new concepts and developed new approaches to human-computer interaction. Inspired, in part, by Ivan Sutherland’s Sketchpad design interface, The Architecture Machine...

...Research and analysis Research and analysis 2A: ARTICLE ANALYSIS In an organisation, managers lead people towards meeting its objectives. ‘The process of planning, organising, leading and controlling the effort of organisation members and of using all organisation resource to achieve stated organisational goals’ has been described as management. Managers has been a part of organisation from very early stage of its history. 1. In the article we are analysing, I believe the main argument is about if we actually need managers, especially in fields like engineering where workers want to spend their time designing and debugging, not communicating with bosses or supervising other workers’ progress. 2. Google, as stated in the article, has used data to determine whether managers are essential or not. They have used a small group and test data within the company. 3. By using data, they have examine this issue. Processing data which has been collected from people in google, they have tired come to a solution which has been called people analytics. 4. Managers has been a part of organisation from the beginning. This research clearly indicates that for success, we really need to keep with the basic while most of the organisations are looking for shiny new ideas. The model of Google is not unique to Google. It focuses on the basic and with every organisation and manager. Management is skill, not knowledge. The best cyclist becomes even better only by practicing...
