...Captain James Cook: British Explorer Kamryn Nieves Captain James Cook was a British explorer. He explored the Hawaiian islands, New Zealand, and the coastline of Australia. Captain Cooks first journey was to a Southern continent that was thought to exist but didn't. The reason he went out to explore was to observe the "Transit Of Venus".

...assignment on Tim Cook. Tim Cook is well known in the Communications and I.T. world. Tim cook took over of Apple after Steve Jobs came down with pancreatic cancer. Before Apple Tim worked at IBM, Intelligent Electronics, and Compaq. So let’s talk a little bit about his background and traits in leadership. Well when we look at Tim Cook and some of the various places he worked. He always hasn’t been a leader. He took a lot away from when he worked on the Macintosh side of the house of Apple he spent a lot of time with supplier relationships. When he was with Compaq he was the vice president and responsible for all of Compaq’s inventory. When Steve Jobs got sick Tim Cook had to step up and be the CEO of Apple. He had to do this three times while Jobs was out sick. When we look back at our studies on leadership, we see that there is a big difference between leaders and managers. I think Tim Cook is and would be a awesome leader to work for. This is what he said about leadership. Tim Cook "We want diversity of thought," he says. "We want diversity of style. We want people to be themselves. It's this great thing about Apple. You don't have to be somebody else. You don't have to put on a face when you go to work and be something different. But the thing that ties us all is we're brought together by values. We want to do the right thing. We want to be honest and straightforward. We admit when we're wrong and have the courage to change."

..."Tim Cook is one of those rare people who stop and think before speaking. Standing in the same room with him I realized that he’s comfortable with silence as long as that silence is productive and appropriate. He’s not like other tech execs who ramble almost immediately and incoherently at any question lobbed at them, as if doing so will convince others they know everything about everything." ~Michael Grothaos Who exactly is the leader of technology these days? Even before Steve Jobs died, Tim Cook was and is the CEO of Apple™. Tim cook started working for Apple in 1998, seventeen years. For these seventeen years (and counting), Tim has done great things to keep Apple coming out with new ideas and fresh thinking. Tim helped Apple develop a strategy; creating products and 'locking' the resources somewhere so that no other company can create the same products as them, that's the secret to why Apple iPhone's and such are so unique. Tim is dedicated to his work and he works hard, putting his all into it and this is a perfect example for it....

...Tech pundit John Dvorak said, “At some point, Apple becomes like a John Wayne movie with no John Wayne. You begin to notice something is missing. Apple without Steve Jobs is Sony.” When Tim Cook took over as Apple CEO, I had a decidedly different take: “Apple has a solid foundation as the most powerful and influential technology company on the planet. It has a unique culture, but one that Steve Jobs built to last, as he knew this day would surely come for some time now.” I went on to say that Apple’s iconic co-founder “infused a new way of thinking” that is “baked into” Apple’s culture “in a way that can live on without Jobs.” In an internal email, Cook vowed to stay true to that culture. “I want you to be confident that Apple is not going to change," he wrote. "I cherish and celebrate Apple's unique principles and values. Steve built a company and culture that is unlike any other in the world and we are going to stay true to that-it is in our DNA.” But I also knew that much of the company’s success going forward would “depend on new chief Tim Cook and rest of Apple’s management team,” and that “despite Cook’s promise, things are going to change. They have to change.” Related: The 9 Best Real-World Strategies Every Entrepreneur Should Know Indeed things have changed. But Cook has managed to walk that fine line between staying true to what’s unique about the company while adding value in ways that only he could – ways that even Steve Jobs could not have done.

...entered into next years California Winemaster event for free. Once I’m checked into the event I’m given an assignment. Since working the event for the last five years I’m always given the same assignment equipment check. I am given a list of equipment that should be at the tables of the different restaurants that were requested by the chef. I then take a small group of volunteers to come along with me to grab the equipment if any is missing from the table and check it off the list. I also have the volunteers walk around to make sure that every table has plates, napkins, and forks for the chefs to plate their food on. Once I’m done with this assignment usually chefs start arriving and we volunteers are assigned to chef to help the chefs prep, cook or heating up their food and start plating.

...kitchen chef who has become famous and well known. Today celebrity chefs often become celebrities by presenting cookery advice and demonstrations via mass media, especially television. Several chefs have been credited with being the _first celebrity chef, among them historically Bartolomeo Scappi and Marie-Antoine Carême. In the modern era since the advent of television several chefs have been attributed the title of the "first celebrity chef", including Julia Child in the United States and Fanny Cradock in the UK. While television is ultimately the primary way for a chef to become a celebrity, some have achieved this through success in the kitchen and achieving such awards as Michelin stars while others are home cooks. Celebrity chefs can also massively influence cuisines across countries, with foreign cuisines being introduced in their natural forms for the first time due to the work of the chef to inform their viewers. Sales of certain foodstuffs can also be enhanced, such as when Delia Smith caused the sale of white eggs_ "Delia factor; Forget about sophisticated marketing strategies . . what you need to sell more is the:. - Free Online Library," Nov 19, 1998) _across the UK to increase by 10% in what has since been termed the "Delia effect".

...Importance of Teamwork In the Kitchen Teamwork in the kitchen is a basic requirement as it is the main key of successful performance for anyone who is, going to or will join this most important department of hospitality. The purpose of this essay is to explain the concept of teamwork and how it applies to kitchen environment. Also, examples of personal experience of teamwork in class are provided to illustrate its effectiveness as a way to achieve common goals. Dwyer (2013, p. 224) defines teamwork as a cooperative effort by the members of a group or team to achieve common goals and objectives. This means that in a team, all members need to contribute to the common effort communicate and help each other to achieve set goals. The characteristics of effective teams include having clear goals, results- driven structures, competent team members, collaborative climates, unified commitment, good communication, principle leadership, and internal and external support (Kayse, 2012). Teamwork is particularly important in the kitchen environment. In the kitchen, chefs are effectively team leaders who are responsible for organising the team to meet its goal(s), the quality of the team’s output, developing the team and the interface between the team and the organisation (Hardingham, 1995, pp.32-33). Carefully explaining goals to all kitchen staff and setting out all the standard requirements are some of the responsibilities of the chef. In the kitchen where...

Outdoors will consist of meandering pathways through colorful shade gardens that lead up to a flagstone terrace that overlooks the in-ground swimming pool. The ultimate chef’s kitchen in my home will have cool black granite countertops lining the walls, breakfast bar, and island. A double-oven and pasta sink is a must for an Italian inspired kitchen. An oversized copper sink with the apron showing would be housed around the breakfast bar for easy access. The warm glow from the pendant lighting surrounding the kitchen with rich copper undertones sets the perfect mood lighting as I cook delicious creations with sinful aromas. Afterwards, I can wash my cares away by visiting one of the spa-like on-suites just off of any one of the bedrooms. Each one includes a walk-in shower with stunning rainfall showerheads and travertine tiles. If I prefer a soak, I can slide into a warm bubble bath in one of the copper claw-foot tubs situated by a picture window overlooking the many gardens. Once my senses have been renewed, I can wander outdoors to peaceful surroundings. Grenon 2 ...

...directive is the most important area in a company's code of performance. Complying with laws, rules, and directive includes preventing harassment, discrimination, and work place adherence. When companies are in full adherence with all laws, rules, and directive, they're not putting themselves at risk for the unhelpfulness towards their company. In 2007, the Rosen Family filed a suit against the company for their discrimination against their religious beliefs. It was believed that an employee in a location in Ohio, had intentionally burnt a Aureole in the bowl that their food had been served in. They believed the intent was brought up when a cook saw the Rosen's daughter wearing a necklace showing the star of David as she was entering the restroom. The Rosen family believed that upon the cook discovering that they were religion, the cook in turn discriminated against their religious beliefs. The family faced an emotional battle behind this event. This event is being stated to show just how important it is to train your staff/ employees properly so that events of this magnitude does not happen.

...Life of Pi & Speluncean Explorers: A Reaction Paper In the light of this most recent event of cannibalism, the question of right and wrong has arisen once again. A young boy by the name of Piscine Molitor Patel experienced a shipwreck, where he was later stranded on a lifeboat with his mother, a French cook and a Taiwanese sailor. They drift for several weeks before the cook butchers Pi’s mother and the sailor and eats parts of their flesh. Left alone with the cook, Pi stabs him to death and eats his heart and liver. The facts of the case stated above are a reminder of the precedent case of the Speluncean Explorers. In the case of the Speluncean Explorers five men who ventured out to explore caves, happened to get trapped in one for many days. As the days passed the men were getting frantic and decided that their best chance of survival was if one of them sacrificed their lives in order for the others to feast on him. Subsequently, Roger Whetmore the man who initiated the idea was killed and fed upon by his fellow explorers. When the other four were finally rescued and brought back to civilization, they were tried by the court of Newgarth and were convicted for the murder of Roger Whetmore and were sentenced to be hanged. On reading the facts of the cases we can draw strings of both similarities and differences. If we were to go with the ruling of the precedent case even if we might not agree with the decision then this would be an open and shut case where Pi would...
