...after Jobs' death last October. More recently, Apple observers pegged Forstall, 43, as the next in line behind Cook. Along with marketing chief Phil Schiller and design guru Jonathan Ive, Forstall anchored the company's top tier of executives, frequently speaking at Apple's heralded product unveilings to showcase the ins and outs of operating-system upgrades. Many felt he was the most logical choice to continue Jobs' legacy of innovation at Apple, where 70% of revenue now comes from the mobile devices that iOS powers. "He was as close to Steve as anybody at the company," Andy Miller, former head of Apple's iAd group, told Businessweek last year. "When he says stuff, people listen." The Apple press release did not say what Forstall plans to do when he leaves the company. Apple did not immediately respond to a message seeking further details. The release Monday came as Wall Street was virtually shut down in advance of Hurricane Sandy, and more than a million customers along the East Coast were already without power because of the storm's onslaught. John Browett, Apple's head of retail, is also leaving, according to the release. The company is launching a search for his replacement, whereas it appears Forstall's duties will be divvied up for now among other Apple heavy hitters. Ive, Bob Mansfield, Eddy Cue and Craig Federighi "will add more responsibilities to their roles," according to the announcement. Cue, the senior vice president for Internet software and services, will take...

...before the rather divisive decision was made to cast the former ‘Daredevil’ actor as Bruce Wayne it was widely speculated that Zack Snyder was hounding Christian Bale to reprise his role for ‘Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice’. It’s now been revealed that rumour was only half true, because Snyder has confessed that he wanted Bale in the ‘Man Of Steel’ sequel, but in a completely different role to Batman. Snyder admitted to Film Ink that this would have been the ultimate proof that ‘Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice’ was in a completely different universe and reality to ‘Batman Begins’, ‘The Dark Knight’, and ‘The Dark Knight Rises’. “This is a total and opposite reality from the Chris Nolan movies,” Zack Snyder remarked. “It’s another universe, so we couldn’t hire Christian Bale if we wanted to, because he doesn’t exist in our world. Maybe we could hire him to play another part. We did talk about that briefly. I just wanted to hire Christian to play another part to make that obvious.” Zack Snyder then joked that Bale could have been plastered with make-up and then portrayed Alfred Pennyworth, a role that Jeremy Irons has in ‘Batman V Superman: Dawn Of...

...Misiak BSNS 4510 Dr. Haskett 9 February 2016 Start with Why Paper #2 In my level 5 story, through recollection of my past experiences, whether it was from my past thoughts of swimming, long drive home, or church experiences, the positive emotions I felt were peace, humility, love, anticipatory, positivity and honor. These emotions are foundational to who I am as a person and shape who I am. These emotions I hold at different levels of who I am. Firstly, within the confines of my passions, I would say that at the base root is love. I love to love others and I love life. That’s the foundation of why I do what I do for anything. I also think that my other passion is peace. I seek peace with others and desire harmony and strength with others and through others. It’s foundational to me and also the reasons why I do what I do. I really desire both peace and love for myself and others because I believe that is why we are created for what we do. Similarly to in “Start With Why”, when it is discussed that people and companies can copy you and do what you do but they cannot emulate what you do exactly because they do not have the reasons why. This is the same in my life where people want to try to seek similar things as me but they aren’t going to do it exactly the way that I do it. For that reason I have been through different experiences and have a passion that is specific to me and who I am. That is not to say that I am better than anyone else, but to suggest that we all go through...

...Questions Tell me about yourself. This is really more of a request than a question. But these few words can put you on the spot in a way no question can. Many quickly lose control of the interview during the most critical time- the first five minutes. This is not the time to go into a lengthy history or wander off in different directions. Your response should be focused and purposeful. Communicate a pattern of interests and skills that relate to the position in question. Consider your response to this question as a commercial that sells your autobiography. Provide an answer that includes information about where you grew up, where you went to school, your initial work experience, additional education and special training, where you are now, and what you intend to do next. One of the most effective ways to prepare for this question is to develop a 60-second biographic sketch that emphasizes a pattern of interests, skills, and accomplishments. Focus your response around a common theme related to your major interests and skills. Take, for example, the following response, which emphasizes computers. "I was born in Canton, Ohio and attended Lincoln High School. Ever since I was a teenager, I tinkered with computers. It was my hobby, my passion, and my way of learning. Like most kids I enjoyed computer games. When my folks gave me a computer as a reward for making honor roll my sophomore year, I mastered DOS, Windows, and WordPerfect within six months. I then went on to teach myself programming...

...recognized in the balance sheet. August 17, 2010, the FASB issued Proposed Accounting Standards Update – Leases (Topic 840). Because leasing is an important source of finance, the board issued an Exposure Draft (ED) to ensure that this development would be with a complete and understandable picture of an entity’s leasing activities. Following are my opinions about some important questions regarding Proposed Accounting Standards Update – Leases (Topic 840). 1a. Do you agree that a lessee should recognize a right-of-use asset and a liability to make lease payments? Why or why not? If not, what alternative model would you propose and why? I agree that a lessee should recognize a right-of-use asset and a liability to make lease payments. The right-of use concept is an accounting treatment that places assets and liabilities from a leasing contract on the balance sheet of lessees. This treatment would reflect in the financial statement that leased assets and liabilities would be placed on the balance sheet. It would also suitable to most leases agreement. 1b. Do you agree that a lessee should recognize amortization of the right-of-use asset and interest on the liability to make lease payments? Why or why not? If not, what alternative model would you propose and why? I agree that a lessee should recognize amortization of the right-of-use asset and interest on the liability to make lease payments. Once the right-of-use asset and liability concept applied, a lessee would...

...since my childhood, I have been thinking of what is life, why we have been here on this earth and what is the purpose of life? As most of you I believe, during my whole life I have been thinking of these questions and have never been able to come across the right answer for this. A poor man is always worried about feeding himself and his family. The middle class people are always worried about arranging basic comforts of life that covers house, car, clothing etc. The upper class of the society is worried about the amount of wealth they are accumulating and the power they have in their hands. You take the case of any one of these and wonder why are we doing this. I partially support the poor class because food is something we cannot avoid in our lives. But how about the others? What are they running after? Atleast I have never been able to support the answer on this. Some may argue and I do partially agree that we do need to something to live this life. But the fact that upsets me the most is what we are doing is really that which we are supposed to do on this earth. Every religion on this earth in one form or the other guides us to do our work and perform duties and leave rest to the God. But, what kind of duties and why do those? Human thinking has been made narrow to the extent that we always think about future and desperately work, always think and devote our life to future. But what future is? It is nothing but death. Then why are we running after future. Why cannot we live in...

...Module Three Questions Segment One: Teen Pregnancy 1. If this was your client, what would you say and do? Be specific. Why would you respond this way? The first thing I would do is remind the client of the rules of confidentiality to maintain a level of trust. Then I would review the situation with her and ask her what would it take for her to be able to discuss the pregnancy with her parents. Provide assistance by asking the client if I could call a meeting with her and her parents and give her an opportunity to tell them in a safe environment what is going on. I would also try to find out who it is in her life that she does trust and who she could tell, maybe a favorite aunt or uncle or maybe a trusted teacher or parent of a friend who could help her inform her parents. I would encourage her to tell her parents mainly because eventually there will be no way of hiding the fact that she is pregnant and that it may be best for her to tell them instead of waiting and have them find out through rumours or by someone else. I would respond this way because if I went to her parents it would be breaking confidentiality and it would destroy any level of trust that had been developed between the client and myself. 2. What is an Informed Consent Form and why is it important? What would you include on your own Informed Consent Form regarding confidentiality? Why? Informed consent is a legal procedure to ensure that a client is fully aware of all the costs and...

...string,” (as cited in Langan, 2014) What does he mean by this? Why do you think he placed the quote this early in the essay? Explain (1)I feel that Emerson’s quote “Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to its own string,” Is implying, whatever you set your mind too you can accomplish. “Every heart vibrates to its own Iron string,” Is implying that everyone is different; we go about doing things in different ways, but it doesn’t mean that it’s wrong. (2) I feel he placed this quote so early in the essay because; he wanted to attract the reader’s attention with such a unique passage. He tried grabbing their attention, early in the passage. 2. In paragraph 4, Emerson says, “it is easy in the world to live after the world’s opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own” (as cited in Langan, 2014). What does he mean by this quote? What is his purpose in making this statement? Explain. (1) “It is easy in the world to live after the world’s opinion”, basically it’s saying that it is easy for other people to justify your life, doing what’s good in the eyes of society. Letting what other people think, affect the way you live your life. “It’s is easy in solitude to live after our own,” Is saying to live in solitude, you can easily live, doing the things that you want to do. (2) To shed light on the situation, of people caring, what other people think. Live by your own path; don’t let people influence what you do. It would be easy living in both situation, but living for...
