Here is a draft persuasive essay on the topic of security and privacy:
The Balance between Security and Privacy
In today's world, security and privacy are often at odds. As threats like terrorism evolve, governments
feel increasing pressure to monitor communications and gather personal data in the name of national
security. However, this comes at the cost of individual privacy. Striking the right balance between
these competing priorities is challenging but crucial.
On the one hand, enhanced surveillance powers allow law enforcement to detect and prevent threats
before they materialize. In a post-9/11 era, it is understandable that governments want to do everything
possible to protect citizens from harm. Technologies like data encryption allow unseen monitoring of

The Jewish Trinity : Sabbath,Shekinah and Sanctuary 4.pdfJackieSparrow3
we may assume that God created the cosmos to be his great temple, in which he rested after his creative work. Nevertheless, his special revelatory presence did not fill the entire earth yet, since it was his intention that his human vice-regent, whom he installed in the garden sanctuary, would extend worldwide the boundaries of that sanctuary and of God’s presence. Adam, of course, disobeyed this mandate, so that humanity no longer enjoyed God’s presence in the little localized garden. Consequently, the entire earth became infected with sin and idolatry in a way it had not been previously before the fall, while yet in its still imperfect newly created state. Therefore, the various expressions about God being unable to inhabit earthly structures are best understood, at least in part, by realizing that the old order and sanctuary have been tainted with sin and must be cleansed and recreated before God’s Shekinah presence, formerly limited to heaven and the holy of holies, can dwell universally throughout creation

10 Communication Secrets
1. 10 Communication Secrets
In 2012, Forbes Magazine revealed 10 communication secrets but I may borrow 8 in carrying out
discussions/ face to face meetings with executives:
1. Speak openly– This would also require setting out a plan on the issues that need to be addressed
primarily. Perhaps by creating an agenda, it would keep the conversation on track. Building trust and
rapport would begin then as members have to be able to feel comfortable. At this point, choosing the
right meeting venue is helpful. Somewhere calm yet inviting but where ideas can be exchanged,
recognition given or loud, enthusiastic conversations can occur. I may reserve a meeting room or
utilize an office space during a less than heavy traffic flow period. I can find out which meeting
rooms or group rooms are assigned to the organization. In the College of Business at Grambling
State University, most of its departmental groups, that is, AMA, Management Club, NABA are
assigned office space in the building which have become a room for executive meetings and
carrying out group projects. It also helps the stability of the group and established recognition for
the organization. Make sure to check with the Office of Student Affairs/ Activities if any such rooms
are available on another campus.
2. Get Personal– To build rapport, a dialogue and true discussion needs to take place. I cannot
control the entire meeting without letting the members get a word in. Although having a monologue
may be great in the beginning where information is

Productivity, current procedures and changes in procedures
– Union meetings
Ensure all staff know their rights in the workplace
– Occupational health and safety meetings

time–wasters?
– Clearly identify the purpose of the meeting
– Identify major points and topics to be discussed before the meeting
– Also by staying on track and bringing it back to topic ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The chairperson should bring the meeting back to order. The chairperson can even opt to writing the
ideas on a board and they can be brought out for discussion later on if time persists.
Why is a chairperson necessary?
The chairperson ensure the meeting time is well spent and not wasted. They bring the conversation
back to the agenda if participants begin to digress from the topics of discussion.
Who should chair meetings? Why?
The role of chair should rotate with each meeting. This allows those to gain experience
communicating with colleagues and staff.
How long should each meeting last? Why?
The meeting should only last as long as necessary in order to achieve its purpose.
How can active participation in meetings be encouraged?
Acknowledge the participants when ideas are spoken. Thank them for their input. Allow participants
to put something on the agenda either before the meeting or for the next.
Why are minutes necessary?
4. Minutes are necessary for the organizations records. They allow those who did not participate to
know where the organization is at with decisions. This is the same for stake holders and
shareholders.
Prevents any misunderstanding if who is responsible for any changes. They can also enable people

6. Stonehaven Case Analysis Essay
Stonehaven, Inc.
Case Analysis
March 19, 2013
Part A
For this part of the analysis, consider each department in the Gdansk factory in isolation. Assume
that the rest of the production system has no impact on the department you are considering. Assume
that material handling times are negligible and ignore variability in processing times.
1. For the typical 100–pair batch, what is the daily capacity and manufacturing lead time within each
of the following departments?
a. Cutting
8 hrs/day x 60 min/hr = 480 min/day
Machine 1 = (0.05 x 4)(100) + (5.25 x 4) = 41 min/batch
Machine 2 = (0.05 x 4)(100) + (5.00 x 4) = 40 min/batch
Machine 3 = (0.04 x 4)(100) + (4.00 x 4) = 32 min/batch
Manufacturing Lead Time (MLT) ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Therefore, the time given is the time it takes to stamp 1 of the 4 components on one machine.
Another assumption I have made is the workers performing the stitching are all equally paced. It
takes each worker the exact same amount of time to perform their duties and pass the product along
to the next group.
Part B
Now consider the factory as a system, and take into account interactions between the departments.
3. Assuming production is done in 100–pair batches, what is the factory's daily capacity?
Cutting 41 min/batch
Stitching 133 min/batch
7. Lasting 33.2 min/batch
Capacity of the Factory = 480 min/day ÷ 133 min/batch = 3.6 batches/day
4. What is the total MLT for a 100–pair batch?
MLT
Cutting = 41 min/batch
Kitting = 10 min/batch
Stitching = 133 min/batch
Steaming = 6 hrs x 60 min = 360 min/batch
Lasting = 33.2 min/batch
TOTAL MLT = 577.2 min/batch
Part C
5. How would you go about deciding the appropriate batch size for the Stonehaven factory? What
factors would you consider? How do they interrelate? (You may wish to do some calculations, but
concentrate on thinking conceptually.)
6. Focus only on your highest priorities for improving the production process at Stonehaven's
Gdansk factory (be specific). Explain why they are important. What actions do you recommend?
How would you implement your recommendations? What do you predict will be the consequences?

9. Personality In Jodi Picoult's 'Nineteen Minutes'
A person's image is one of the most important social aspects from day one. It will decide a person's
friends, career, and level of success. Personality is a fluid aspect that ties a person's image together.
A person's personality or image will change with company. In Nineteen Minutes, Jodi Picoult
presents a motif of public vs. private self through many of her characters to show that things are not
always how they seem and to make the reader evaluate who they are as a person. Humans need
social interaction to flourish and they tend to select a few people to become closest with. They share
secrets, gossip about others, and support each other in times of need, but how well can someone
really know another person? In Nineteen Minutes the reader watches Josie Cormier get ready for
school, hiding her private personality away for the day. "Either Josie was someone she didn't want to
be, or she was someone who nobody wanted" (Picoult 8). To all of Josie's classmates, friends,
teachers, and even her own mother she seems like the perfect child. Josie hangs out with the right
crowd, gets great grades, and follows all of society's rules perfectly, but no one really knows who
she is. Behind the mask perfection Josie is just another teenager struggling with depression and
identity issues. The author chooses to make the most popular girl in school also one of the most
depressed to show that although things may seem beautiful on the outside, they can be rotting from
the inside. Picoult is proving how that easy it is for people to hide their personalities to the world.
Additionally, Josie is in one of the most popular relationships at her high school. Everybody praised
her beautiful relationship with Matt but it's all just another façade. Throughout most of part one the
author builds sympathy for Matt and Josie because the boy who seems to be a loving boyfriend was
murdered, but later the truth becomes clear, "The smile faded from Josie's face. 'When I told you I
slipped on the ice. Matt and I were having a fight and he hit me'" (Picoult 239). Even the most
perfect people have secrets they are hiding. Matt seemed like he truly loved Josie but it is clear that
he is just an abusive boyfriend, hiding who he truly is whenever

11. Reflection Paper On Regular Council Meeting
Regular City Council Meeting
I have always prided myself as a person who knows virtually everything that happens around my
community. It is common for humans to judge or misjudge what they do not know or understand.
Too often we are quick to criticize and lash after what other people say or do simply because we do
not understand it. This fact describes the character and attitude of many people especially when it
comes to politics and how a country is run right from the top to the bottom. The average people is
generally unconcerned with political affairs like how politicians spend their tax money. You only
need to look at the dismally low voter turn out to confirm this fact. This should to change and for
me, this change came on 26th October 2017, when I decided to attend The Tempe City Regular
Council Meeting. I had never attended such a meeting before. Part of the reason is perhaps owing to
the attitude of most people as I explained earlier but more particularly, I had not seen any local issue
that moved me enough to demand the necessity to have my voice heard or to be curious enough to
want to find out about the secrets of the operations of the local government. Generally, I knew that
the decisions made and policies developed by the city government affected my life directly or
indirectly. However, to sit and watch all the work and grind that goes to the formulation of these
policies and decisions has made me realize that democracy is not self–driving.
The Chambers
After completing my classes for the day, I went directly to Tempe City Hall City Council Chambers
which is housed in the Harry E. Mitchell Government Center. As I got in two minutes before the
official starting time, the room was almost fully occupied but I was lucky to secure a seat at a
position where I could follow the proceedings comfortably. The chamber is divided into two seating
areas one for the Council Members and the other for the members of the public. The two areas face
each other and are separated in the middle by a corridor that connects to two main entrance/exit
points. The area accommodating the councilmembers is at a relatively elevated angle compared to
the area where the citizens sit to facilitate easy and effective engagement.

Importance of having a minimum number of attendees: A Quorum is the minimum number of
people that is needed to be in attendance for a meeting to be the legitimate and so it can commence.
Due to legal requirement you have to have a minimum number of people to attend a meeting so that
the voting methods can be fair. This would also help prevent a small number of attendees that are

17. Strategic Issues the Association Should Address Essay
TO: APSA Council
RE: Council Discussion Topic: Organized Sections
This overview is designed to help launch a Council small group discussion about journals, and about
strategic issues the Association may wish to address. The memo notes salient issues the Association
is or will soon face. The themes included here are surely not complete and the goal is for a
discussion that helps ferret out or sharpen heretofore unarticulated issues as well as the ones we see
now.
I. Introduction
APSA Organized Sections have been a mainstay of the Association since first formed in the early
1980's. There has not been a comprehensive review of Sections and the ways in which the
prominence of Sections has shaped the Association since then, ... Show more content on
Helpwriting.net ...
This increases the total cost of APSA membership commensurately, especially consequential if a
member seeks to join multiple sections. We worry this may discourage multiple section
membership, diminish opportunity for "cross–fertilization" among fields; and create sticker shock
for APSA membership in general.
At the same time, there may be potential value for the Association of being aligned with a "bundle"
of journal content organized across topical areas – a kind of journal–based analogue to the annual
meeting division structure.
As a specific matter, APSA has the opportunity help the State Politics and Policy Organized Section
purchase its journal from the university press that now owns it, by lending the Section money with
payback revenues over 10 years. Assuming the business deal made sense, would such a step make
sense from the standpoint of an Association–wide journals policy.
APSA might seek to bring Section journals more under the Association umbrella itself and applying
journal guidelines, unbundling subscriptions from Section membership (while leaving editorial
control with the Sections.)
C. Governance and Liabilities

20. Church Meeting Summary
The meeting was about the City of Commission of Deland on March six, at seven pm. First, starts
discussing how people can address an agenda or an unattended issue that can be given to City Clerk
at the proper time. Also, the meeting gives information on how later in the meeting they are going to
explain a new resolution of the surplus of the house abandonment. Something very nice that they did
at first is how they made a program called "Super Stars Students of the month" to reward kids for
doing greats in school as a way trying to push them to become something important in the future,
and not giving up their dreams. Not only had they rewarded the kids but also two employees who
were great in services for a long time. As part of the introduction, they give the quarterly financial
report prepared by Dan Stauffer, which basically shows that the City is doing well so far into each
financial position.
The public comments were very professionally done as I saw there not many arguments into the

My conclusion with this meeting is that the city does take care of the opinion of the public as they
try to explain the issue in a very clear matter; we could see that the city is trying to become better
each day and trying to resolve the problems presented but again is something that the people has to
have patience into knowing that these agendas take a long period into being analyzed, approved and
executed. This meeting brought me back to what in class we been discussing on how a policy is
being made and how it first needs to have a solid argument so it could be approved. So far I never
expected for this meet to go very coordinated and smoothly as sometimes is normal for the argument
from the public but in this case that was not the

Bob,
Your March 5 dated "Notice of Meeting of Linden Knoll Condominium Units Owners" had as it
stated purpose a single agenda item: "Budget vote to ratify or reject the Operating Budget Fiscal
Year June 1, 2016 to May 31, 2017".
Subsequently, on Friday, March 11, 2016 another "Notice of Homeowner Budget Meeting" was
posted on the townhouse bulletin board, listing a different agenda to include: "HVAC upgrades –
phase 3 (buildings 3 and 4), Elevator upgrades – engineer VTX, Townhouse Roof – proposal update,
Ongoing Assessment, Budget – 2016 – 2017 Operating budget ratification of budget adopted by
Council on 2/15/2016"
The meeting was called to order and a Roll Call of Council Members taken, presumably to
determine the presence of a quorum of Council. What was the purpose for the Roll Call if this was a
unit owners meeting? The meeting then proceeded with discussions of the HVAC phase 3 upgrade
cost ($94,880) and the elevator engineer phase 1 and 2 costs, $4,662 and $8,609 respectively. With
respect to each separate item motions were made, seconded and passed by Council to authorize
these expenditures. At no time was input on these motions sought from homeowners.
Next, some comments were made about the townhouse roofs but no action was taken. Recollection
is that the agenda topic "Ongoing Assessment ' was not addressed or reported. Finally, a presentation
of a 'proposed budget ', approval of which cannot be documented in posted Council meeting

The whole trip takes 0.28 hrs or "16.8 mins".
Trip= time taken to load truck by shovel + time taken from shovel to crusher+ time taken for
dumping+ time taken to drive back from crusher to shovel.
So 0.28 = 0.075+ time taken between shovel and crusher (twice) + 0.028
So time taken between shovel and crusher (twice) is 0.177 hrs, so each trip takes 0.0885hrs (5.31

26. The Role Of Parenthood In Jodi Picoult's Nineteen Minutes
"In nineteen minutes, you can mow the front lawn, color your hair, watch a third of a hockey game.
You can bake scones or get a tooth filled by a dentist.... Or, as Peter Houghton knows... in nineteen
minutes, you can bring the whole world to a screeching halt"(Picoult 363). In Nineteen Minutes by
Jodi Picoult, Peter had been bullied his whole life, and he wanted revenge. Peter felt the only way to
get revenge was to pull the trigger towards classmates and teachers.
Nineteen Minutes takes place in a small town known as Sterling. In Sterling, everybody knows
everybody. You stop at an intersection, and you know the person stopped next to you. You see your
neighbors at the grocery store, and your teacher at Olive Garden. So obviously, everyone in the
small town knew Peter and his family. Could you imagine the looks Peter's parents receive from the

They can't imagine their son doing something so terrible. They feel out of place when they get their

Conflict was created between Peter and his parents. Peter did not meet the standards his deceased
brother held. Peter's parents were disappointed in the difference between sons. To adulterate Peter's
situation, he was constantly bullied by classmates in and out of school. One day Peter could not
handle it anymore, and the last string of the braided rope broke.
The conflict Peter was struggling with himself was impossible to conquer without support from
others, and Peter never truly had the support he needed to thrive. Peter was suffering from post–

Setting Agenda
Most failed professional meetings are due to a lack of focus and unclear goals. It is extremely
important to come prepared with a specific agenda and a clear understanding of what must be
accomplished. While one can be flexible, the agenda must list the topics that will be discussed as
well as the goals; it is really the road map to a successful meeting. The agenda should include; a
review from previous business meetings, a dialogue of new issues, and a clear evaluation of the
group 's goals. One can use judgment to add or subtract items from the agenda as the meeting
develops, as long as the route still leads towards the final goals. Using colleagues time efficiently is
necessary to make ones meeting enjoyable and helps to build group morale. It is recommended that
supervisors of the meeting should not be too optimistic about what should be accomplished in a
single meeting.
During Meeting
Interactions
It is of paramount importance that the person running the meeting keeps it on topic, while making
sure that everyone 's opinions are heard. At times, subjects can arouse strong emotions, and it must
be recognized as a time to better understand one's needs. Members should discuss problems that are
occurring. Other factors influencing group interaction include seating, refreshments, temperature,
lighting, and ventilation. While one should never be late for a meeting, there is a correct way to
enter prior to the
31. 19 Minutes, By Jodi Picoult
19 minutes is a book written by Jodi Picoult that describes a school shooting. This book was written
in a pretty unique way, because instead of having story told by sequential events from one
perspective, it is told from many perspectives, from different times, and in different orders. For
example, one moment you could be reading from the point of view of the shooter during the event,
and the next you're reading from the point of view of a student 6 months after. The author uses
different points of view and a non–linear timeline to tell a unique story. Jodi Picoult uses different
points in time for each chapter, but it isn't a random order. Whenever there is a change in time, it is
because it logically follows what you just read. What ends ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net
...
During the book, you get to see through the eyes of the shooter, the judge, the judge's daughter, the
shooter's parents, the shooter's lawyer, and the main detective on the case. I might even be missing a
few, but these viewpoints were the most used. This ties in well with my previous point where I said
the author used different points in time. Not only do you get to see different views, but also you get
to see each viewpoint at many different times. One chapter you could be reading about what the
judge was doing before her daughter was born, and the next chapter you could be reading about
what the lawyer and his family is going through near the end of the case. There are a few characters
and moments that I think showcase how well these viewpoints were done in this book. One of them
is the different viewpoints during the shooting. While the first time the shooting is described we
only see from the detective, later on we get to witness it again from other's eyes. This line is from
Patrick's view, "Turning a corner, Patrick slipped on blood and heard another gunshot, this one loud
enough to ring her ears." (Picoult, 22) and this line is from Josie's view, "As the gun fires, it ripper
two stripes of her skin from the base of her thumb. Her hands jerked upwards." (Picoult, 440). These
two lines are talking about the same gun shot, but Patrick's line is from the beginning of the book,
and Josie's line is from the very end. Another part of the book that I think benefited well from
different viewpoints is the relationship between Josie and her mother, Alex. The two don't have a
very deep relationship in the beginning, which is shown by Josie many times, "The last place Josie
wanted to go was out to dinner with her mother." (Picoult, 150). Josie usually tries to avoid her
mother and thinks she doesn't understand her. From Alex's view, she feels like she hasn't been a very
good mother to Josie and often is

33. Meeting At Seward County Community College Essay
Meeting Characteristics for Conflict Management and Resolution Meetings are a common tool used
by companies and organizations for a variety of purposes, and they can be implemented in a variety
of ways. Properly implemented, meetings can be effective, productive, and increase involvement of
the participants at the meetings. If not implemented properly, meetings can be costly as well as
unproductive for both the leader and the participants. By examining recent meeting characteristics of
Wheatridge Park Care Center and the Phi Theta Kappa organization at Seward County Community
College, a better understanding of the positive and negative aspects of various meeting styles may
be explored through applying and analyzing the events of the meeting against conflict management
principles recommended in Raines (2013).
Wheatridge Park Care Center Meeting Wheatridge Park Care Center has demonstrated several
aspects that adhere to the suggestions of Raines (2013), and that have worked well for the
participants at the meetings. Wheatridge Park's meetings can be broken down into two parts, which
are the department meetings and the all staff meetings. Each of the five departments at Wheatridge
Park Care Center conducts department meetings once a month with the employees in that
department. The department meetings typically address issues such as information employees need
to know, changes in the department, dealing with nonstructural sources of conflict, and build on
team cognition.

The purpose of a meeting is to inform team members of ideas as well as problems that may arise.
During meetings, attendees will have the opportunity to voice their opinions and views whilst
listening to others points of views. The attendees of a meeting should be people who have got a
purpose and opinion towards the agenda of the meeting. Also, a meeting should include a minute
taker to record important notes and also a chair. A chair's main responsibility is to lead the meeting
by beginning the conversation of all the topics and also to open and close the meeting.

Q – Explain ways to achieve maximum attendance at meetings. (1.3)
A – One way of achieving maximum attendance at a meeting is by sending out an invitation email
which gives the recipient the chance to accept, decline or hold the invitation to the meeting. This
way, it automatically updates their calendar if they accept the invitation and allows you to know
who is attending. Another way to achieve maximum attendance is arranging a time and location that
accommodates everyone that you want to be at the meeting. Choosing a time and place when
someone is busy will ultimately mean that one person already can't make it.

For the most part, I enjoyed Nineteen Minutes. It was an extremely emotional novel about a teen
boy that killed ten people in his high school. Describing the school shooting was not the book's main
idea, the real purpose was to explain the events leading up to and the events after the shooting. In
my opinion, Jodi Picoult started the book out beautifully when she described how long the school
shooting was by relating it to basic everyday things that most people could relate to.
Most of Nineteen Minutes took place after the shooting, when the community was trying to recover
and rebuild trust after the horrific deed of Peter Houghton. Honestly, at first I was shocked because I

Let x be order size than –

In spite of huge increase in sales in large quarter, the profit and loss summary of the company shows
that net profit before taxes decreased considerably from $14,800 in August of 1987 to $3,100 in
September of the same year. Also net sales and gross profit margin decreased in this period. All this
can be attributed to huge inefficiencies that exist in the manufacturing processes of Donner.
Major issues are –
• Poor Quality – Items returned by customers increased from 1% to 3%. One tenth of the boards
returned to the Donner Company were damaged or out of tolerance while the rest were returned due
to the company not completing one or two different required operations.
• Process Flow – One of Donner's major problems lies in their process flow. There are many
bottlenecks and employee downtime which arise from poor process flow setup and unforeseen
problems.
• Low Productivity – For example Plater spent 15% of her time walking between her desk and the
plating tank. Also, plating and etching processes were located far form the machining operation.
• Late Deliveries – In 1987, Donner was faced with problems in meeting delivery schedules and
growing customer returns.

If meetings do not happen then issues come up and they are not resolved this may cause friction
between staff and may cause the business to lose money and customers. It also makes the business
much more organized and keeps the business innovative and relevant. This means these meeting

58. Meetings Can Be Beneficial If They Are Organized
Meetings can be beneficial if they are organized correctly. A meeting needs to have a purpose. An
agenda should be created so that everyone in attendance knows what to expect. The individual who
is in charge of planning the meeting has a very important job when it comes to preparing an
actionable meeting. Tasks need to be assigned as well as deadlines for those tasks to ensure
everything that needs to get done will get done.
Unorganized Meeting I have attended a poorly organized meeting. The staff is left to wonder what
needs to be done and why did we meet here in the first place. Although we talk about things that are
being done in the office and things that have yet to be done, those tasks are just thrown out there.
The coordinator to the meeting does not have a list of individuals whom they think would be good
for the task, or either loosely asks for volunteers who may or may not volunteer during that session.
If an individual does volunteer to complete a task we are not notified, and if no one volunteers I feel
we are working it creating a duplication of effort. This session was highly unorganized.
Four Steps to Overcome Ineffectiveness Next, I will discuss four steps mentioned in the textbook

Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult
Fiction Novel
Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult is a novel based on a school shooting in the small town of
Sterling, but focuses more importantly on the feelings of the main characters, Peter Houghton and
Josie Cormier, who experience insecurities and social acceptance, or lack of.
The novel explores the damaging effects of bullying, peer pressure and the dynamics of group
interaction within teenagers in a modern day society.
Picoult's novels are aimed at a mature audience, whether that is from adult to young adult–if they are
emotionally ready to read it. Nineteen Minutes is a tragic and emotional novel, but teenagers are
able to relate more due to the teenage characters and high school setting. ... Show more content on

Groups are portrayed in Nineteen Minutes from when they started kindergarten to high school.
"Every kid in the school played a role; Jock, Nerd, Beauty and freak" (Kindle loc. 11600) Peter was
viewed as an easy target throughout his school years, but had always had Josie to stand up for him.
Josie gravitates away from Peter to be in the 'cool' group, and becomes to focused on how everyone
views her and struggles with her own issues of acceptance, image and her sense of 'belonging'.
Both Strictly Ballroom and Nineteen Minutes have used similar techniques of portraying 'belonging'
and 'not belonging'.
Peter Houghton and Dough Hastings are viewed as similar characters, although they both have
different thoughts they are both showcased as a loner or someone not important. Peter, unlike Doug,
wants to belong but his peers are holding him back by bullying him and he is unable to feel a sense
of belonging, whereas Doug rejects belonging to any group in the film.
Scott Hastings is ridiculed and abused for dancing his own steps, and Josie Cormier from Nineteen
Minutes believes that if she doesn't put on a mask everyday to 'belong' to a certain group, she too
will be bullied and unhappy. Scott and Josie can be contrasted, as Scott wants to belong to the

enter the meetings and tasks into a standard form. As you complete the tasks throughout the
following week, you check off the line items. At the close of business on Friday, you are asked to
grade your PPC. Any tasks that were not completed are marked as such, and you are required to
explain why the task was not finished as promised. This practice gets me to work on only promising
tasks that can be managed in the course of a week. In order to accommodate ... Show more content

Utilizing a white board in your office promotes a community atmosphere that allows for productive
conversation.
The main problem I have encountered is planning for the future. In the business world, it is
impossible to tell what problems will come up. On any given day your priorities can change from
that you have planned. It is important to recognize the highest priorities and to tackle those items
first so that you can get to the items of lower priority before they become critical.
I get to work each morning at 6:30. The first thing I do is check my PPC, email, and outstanding
RFIs (requests for information) and submittals. Shortly afterwards I go to a daily engineer huddle
where there is a discussion of each engineer's planned tasks for the day. If there is time after the
meeting, I like to walk the jobsite in order to get a feel for the work of all the disciplines onsite.
Next, I get to work on the promised tasks for the day. Throughout the day, I am in and out of the

The order of the game has to be differentiated in ordering a new game and ordering a game, which

The line's maximum capacity amounts to 791.67 units per day assuming that it is operated for 7.5
hours. Assuming that X–Opoly operates 200 days per year, the capacity is 58,333 units per year.
Compared with the expected demand the capacity is three times higher than the demand (50,000
units). Therefore there is an overcapacity of more than 100,000. One consequence could be a falling
price and the production of waste. A fall in the price would lead to a decline of the return on
investment as well as the cash flow. That is why it is necessary to use fewer stations in order to save
resources.
In the calculation it can be said that they only 7 stations are needed. With this number of
workstations one could achieve the highest efficiency at this moment. But the company will grow
rapidly. Therefore they had to add new stations every year.
However, the company expects that its sales will grow 25 percent annually for the next five years.

Josie and Peter Houghton used to be best friends. They would spend every second together: at

Josie to a different lifestyle, their friendship quickly demised. Josie fell under peer pressure and
became a part of the popular group, who happened to initiate most of the bullying. She was half of
"the perfect couple" in Sterling High School, went to every party, and had the best friends a high
school girl could ask for. Even though every girl was head–over–heals jealous of her, she also felt
like her life was a movie, and she was just an actress; always acting like someone other than her true
self. It was evident that Josie did not want to act the way she did: "I have to act the way people

Part one: Critical Reflection on your team as whole
I believe our group has struggled from the very beginning with being organized. I think some of the
difficulties started with the team strategic plan. The team would have benefited more, from an
outline of information that would be presented during the final speech (Adler, Ronald B., et al.,
2013). I think our organization was lacking the first day we met to work on the team strategic plan.
We all pushed off the meeting because we thought we had more time and as the due date approached
we quickly met up to discuss what needed to be in the strategic plan. Then asked everyone to work
on it on their own time. I don't think this was the most beneficial way to divide tasks. We should
have spent more time doing group work, and not assigned as much individual work (Adler, Ronald
B., et al., 2013). I think we should have used part of the designated meeting times to do group work,
that would have been the most beneficial for our group due to all members of the group having so
much going on outside of the project, that the time would have allowed each of us to have a
required/designated time to work on the project. Allowing for us to get more done, earlier on. I think
the anticipation of some members to get the team strategic plan done also caused them to take on too

result of it all. Peter Houghton grew up with a golden boy brother, who was also one of his bullies
until his death the previous year before the shooting and always made him feel unimportant in his
own home. His parents weren't very helpful when Peter was getting bullied. Even from a young age
Peter's mom wanted him to be strong about it and deal with the bullying rather than actually help
him through it. He also had a best friend Josie Cormier, a best friend who used to defend from the
bullies until she decided to leave him for the popular crowd in sixth grade.So after so many years
and years of bullying, with no support from his family and due to the fact that he only had one
friend who was also being bullied, Peter took it into his own hands to end the harassment and he
went into his school and enacted his revenge. Unlike Peter, Jodee grew up as an only child in a
loving supportive family. She had friends the moment she was in school, she wasn't popular but she
had friends. She never had a constant friend that always defended her and was always there for her.

Public participation is an important aspect of any community and benefits realized from inculcating

institution produces is enabling the community to participate in decision–making and planning. For
this reason, they are more likely to interact with established mechanisms. Moreover, apart from
helping bring about a sense of community, public participation enables institutions to set goals and
objectives that suit that long–term service delivery. San Diego Unified district school is among the
many educational centers in the United States that have embraced this useful method to warrant
continuous progress. Therefore, they recently organized a school board meeting on 27th September
2016 to provide an update on what was going on in the institution as well give the public an
opportunity to discuss their concerns and contributions. This paper analyzes the nature and role of
public participation in uniting the community and institutions that serve its members. Evidently,
although the meeting had some hitches in terms of short notices and low ethnic representation, it

Number Fifteen: The Program Has Been in the Same Time Slot for 40 Years.
After bouncing around time slots for a while, mostly due to FCC programing regulations, CBS

Show Ever.
News programs were never seen as a big draw during prime–time hours when 60 Minutes first
began. For its first three years, CBS wasn't confident that the program could pull in the ratings it
