...Feedforward interview is a tool that is used by the supervisor and the employee together in order to identify the behaviors and skills that an employee possess in an effort to gain the best performance from the employee (Agiunis, 2013). Feedforward interviewing is a great tool that allows the management and employee to work together to figure out what the employee is excelling at and what areas need improvement. In my opinion, this type of interview promotes unification and team work in an effort to enhance and promote the best possible employee performance level of all employees. The feedforward interview is composed of three steps: producing a success story, identifying success factors, and using the past to forecast the future (Aguinis,...

...Florentine Codex Translation The Florentine Codex has four version available to read. The original Nahuatl version, Spanish, English from spanish translation, and the new English from Nahuatl translation. Among these four versions, they both discuss the same story line without much variation. But it's the small differences in the Old vs New English that create interesting difference that change certain details and emotions. The new direct Nahuatl translation is of course the more true and preferred version for accurate information. But between these two versions you can see the errors that are constantly being made and the pieces of information that are essentially lost in translation. This can as well compel other historians to revise translations of other important historical documents seeing what type of mistakes and miscommunications can be possible. One of the small details that was found different was about the status of the nobility versus Montezuma, specifically the event where they all meet the new coming Spaniards. In the older English version, is just mentions the nobility alongside Montezuma. This can be misinterpreted as the nobility and Montezuma are of equal ranking with no one being on top of each other on the hierarchy scale. Thanks to the new English version, there is a clarification made that when they all meet the Spaniards, it's Montezuma and Montezuma's rulers and nobles. This adds a new possessive detail in which Montezuma essentially controls these...

...a detailed description as to how the Lager was made. It was clear that the service attracted a middle age tourist clientele due to the high volume of foreign consumers on the tour we partook in. The experience intended to provide customers with an understanding of the full brewing-to- bottling process of Scotland’s “favorite beer”, and the evolution of Tennents over the company’s timeline. On arrival, staff were friendly, well dressed and approachable, which contributed to a relaxed environment. The setting of the meeting room was busy and kept the consumer’s mind occupied whilst they waited for the tour to begin. This helped detract from the issue of the tour starting later than the proposed time. With a contemporary design, the room was appealing to the consumer aesthetically and helped build a positive insight as to the quality which could be expected from the tour. A successful blueprint of the service was clear as both customer A and B knew what part they played during the encounter. Such factors included marking yellow pathways on the roads between buildings for the customer to stay within for their safety as well as providing hair nets and high vis vests for health and safety. A leader follower relationship was adopted in this tour, meaning that the consumer relied on the guide largely for the encounter to be a success. In the case for tennents, this relationship was successful due to the educational and interesting tour provided by our guide. In a way, it is...

...have supposedly seen something out of the ordinary. There have been reports of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) all over the world and even reports of people being abducted by strange beings. Are people making all this up or are they really seeing something from another world? In the article “Extraterrestrial encounters: UFOs,” Alexander Geppert, an Emmy Noether Research Group Director at Freie Universitat Berlin, contends that people throughout the country and around the whole world have seen UFOs. The size of the UFOs seen can vary from eyewitness to eyewitness. The first UFO sighting occurred on June 24, 1947. While flying his plane, pilot Kenneth Arnold reported seeing nine objects, glowing bright blue-white, flying in formation over Washington State’s Mount Rainier.After the Arnold sighting, a “reputed” UFO crash in Roswell, New Mexico occurred on July 8, 1947; this crash is known as the Roswell incident. Reported UFO sightings in Great Britain, North America, Japan and Eastern Europe, all within weeks of each other, showed a global phenomenon. People refer to these sighting as the “First Waves” of UFOs. Immediately following these encounters from 1947 to 1953, UFOs invaded popular culture; they were everywhere from movies to music. Movies portrayed UFOs as flying discs and aliens were pictured with small bodies, huge heads and big eyes. According to Geppert, “Science continue[d] to struggle: Are we alone in the universe? Some believed that, in the future-saturated...

...To Infinity and Beyond until Across the Universe Have you ever wondered if there are any extraterrestrial life forms in the universe? An extraterrestrial is defined as life that does not originate from Earth. It is often also referred to as alien. “Alien” is a very familiar word even though many of us have never met or seen them. They are in TV or movies, and especially the Hollywood productions love to make movies about extraterrestrials. For example, ET (1982) is one of the famous SF movies. The alien, ET is very friendly to people, and it has an ability of making object flying. Since they are only a part of blockbuster movies, most of times people are careless about aliens; however, there are many incidents that show they are real. There are three significant signs that prove they are real such as we are able to suspect another life form in an infinite universe, have UFO sighting everywhere in the world, and have experiences of many people’s alien abduction. First, there must be another life form among the limitless galaxies. Since the universe began in the Big Bang about 15 billion years ago, it has constantly expanded. Therefore, the universe is infinite and Earth is just considered like a grain of sand. The universe is divided into two parts; the observable and the non-observable. There are countless planets and solar systems in the observable universe. Is it true that the Earth is the only planet where life exits in the infinite universe? If there are sunlight and...

...The theatrical film, The Fourth Kind, addresses the prospects of aliens through a basis on real events occurring in Nome, Alaska in 2000. The plot line follows Dr. Abigail Emily Tyler and her professional experiences with patients claiming alien abduction. The film begins with Tyler recounting a personal experience of her husband’s supposed murder that occurred in August of 2000. The Fourth Kind then takes focus on Tyler’s professional career as she tapes hypnotherapy sessions with patients experiencing a similar account of events. The correlation is summed up as a white owl staring at the patients through their windows each night. While under hypnosis, two of the patients describe similar stories of the creatures attempting to enter their homes. In addition, the film portrays one patient killing himself and his family after undergoing hypnosis. Following similarities in the individual’s stories, Tyler suspects the patients were abducted by aliens. The plot thickens as a patient requests Tyler to hypnotize him, which results in the disturbing act of him hovering above his bed while a voice informs Tyler to end her study. To further complicate the scene, the patient is paralyzed resulting from the hypnosis leading to Tyler being placed on house arrest. While confined, police camera footage shows a large dark object flying above the Tyler household and the officer describes people being pulled from the home. Tyler then claims that her daughter Ashley had been taken, however she...

...Alien Existence There are a lot of things in this world that go unexplained. Not anymore, it was all aliens, everything you can’t figure out like, “Where does one sock go when I do the laundry?” Aliens. Earth has been very much impacted by aliens in its short history. Everything from supplying life-giving chemicals and wiping out the dinosaurs with meteorites to influencing human culture and evolution. The whole world is full of evidence that aliens exist, even though it is usually denied and ignored by the government and academics. This paper will give a short investigation of extraterrestrial events and evidence. Ancient people, especially their huge structures and exciting grip of mathematics and astronomy, have always attracted human kind. For example, the Sumerians were aware of Pluto as early as 5,000 bce, seven thousand years before it was discovered by Clyde W. Tombaugh in 1930. The first written evidence of extraterrestrials was discovered in 1935 by Prof. Tsum Um Nui of the Academy of Prehistoric Research in Beijing who found a stone disk in the cave part of the Baian Kara Ula Mountains near Tibet. The stone disk was buried with a group of humans with delicate bodies and weird large skulls. At first they were thought to be apes, Prof. Um Nui was rumored to have said “Who ever heard of apes burying each other?” They ended up finding 716 disks but the Chinese government would not let any more research be done until a Russian, Dr. Saitsew, examined them and wrote a...

...07-05-13 ENG111 K. Courage I believe courage is something that comes from deep inside oneself. I feel everyone has courage and uses it at different times and in different ways. I think most of the tales,stories and movies that we and our children are raised on have heroic and inspirational themes. The Bible tells of David battling Goliath, and The Wizard of OZ tells of the cowardly lion who must find courage to face the witch. There are other forms of courage such as when Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela spoke out against injustice, or people like Steve Jobs and Walt Disney took huge financial risks to follow their dreams. Courage ranges from physical strength to mental stamina. There are probably more kinds and examples of courage than what I'm going to talk about,but I'm just going to touch on a few. The first kind of courage is overcoming fear,so you can do what needs to be done. It could be something as small as overcoming the fear of speaking in public. Whatever your fear, it will take courage to face that fear. Fear of failure kept me from going back to school and furthering my education. Finally,at age thirty-eight, I overcame my fear and returned to school. I regret not doing it sooner. Nelson Mendela once said” I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who...

...The Mystery Behind the Spiritual Alien Agenda Beryl King 12 March 2012 The Search for Earth-like Planets December 5, 2011 must have been an exciting day for astronomers all over the world as NASA announced to the public the discovery of an Earth-like planet potentially able to support life. The planet, 2.4 times the size of the Earth, is six hundred light-years away in what astronomers call the “Goldilocks Zone”, an area in which a planet has an ideal temperature because of its distance from a star. It orbits around a star similar to the sun of the Earth, and the temperature of its surface is habitable at 77 degrees Fahrenheit. Scientists are hopeful that this planet might possess water and land, but they are not sure as of the moment if the majority of it is made up of solid, liquid or gas (Bloxham). Kepler 22-b is just one of the extrasolar planets observed by NASA that has a probability to be inhabited by extraterrestrial life forms. Since 1960, NASA has funded different exobiology projects, including Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI), in hopes that astronomers can find evidences of life in outer space. Thinking that extraterrestrials would likely leave something behind to signal other intelligent beings during their exploration, astronomers of SETI previously tried to detect interstellar probes to be able send messages back to them, but until now, none have been discovered. Despite this, scientists working on SETI have not given up, focusing more on...

At that time, Hoang, who is my new neighbor came over to y house and helped my family a lot things such as helping us fill out some kinds of forms, giving a ride when my family needed to go to a hospital for health examinations, and vice versa.

Technology, e-business, ethics, and globalization are changing the way companies do business and therefore, the human resource management need to make changes to keep up with the new trends. Globalization and Technology During the past century companies have made changes to the way human resource department’s run. Many companies created jobs overseas, which slowed down the hiring in the United States (Noe, R., Hollenbeck, J., Gerhart, B. & Wright, P., 2004). Companies are finding to survive they must compete in international markets and fend off their competitors.
