...His reasons for the exploration were simple. He hoped to establish trade with the Native American people of the West. He also hoped to discover a water route to the Pacific Ocean. Jefferson also believed we could learn a lot about the geography of the West, the lives of the Native Americans, the plants and animals, the weather, and how they were different from the East. To lead this journey President Jefferson chose his personal secretary, Meriwether Lewis, a man who had previous skills as a frontiersman. Lewis then chose William Clark, who was known as a great draftsman and frontiersman. Lewis chose Clark as co-commanding captain of the Expedition, even though Clark was never recognized as such by the government. Together they collected a diverse military Corps of Discovery that would be able to undertake a two-year journey to the great ocean. A total of 33 men comprised this group of Explorers. Accompanying the men on this trip was also William Clark's personal slave, York and a female Indian named Sacagawea. The Lewis and Clark expedition started in St. Louis, Missouri. On May 14, 1804 they started up the Missouri River on the Corps of Discovery. They would travel up the river. Near Sioux City, Iowa, the expedition suffered their first and last death there. Charles Floyd died of appendicitis. On down the river they past cities such as Columbia, Jefferson City, and Kansas City. About 5 months later they built a block house, Fort Mandan, which was near the present sight of Bismark...

...Chapter 8: Lewis and Clark President Thomas Jefferson formed an expedition in which he put is secretary, Meriwether Lewis, in charge. This expedition was put into place to explore the Missouri River and find a good water route towards the Pacific. If a water route was found, the economy would benefit as trade with China would boost. Second in command on this expedition was William Clark. Lewis and Clark led approximately fifty men on the journey. Once they got into their expedition, they hired an interpreter and a guide who went by the name of Toussaint Charboneau. His wife had accompanied them on the trip after recently giving birth to a baby boy. Throughout this expedition, Jefferson wanted to place American sovereignty in the tribes throughout...

...Clark Faucet Company Clark Faucet Company is the third largest supplier of faucets for both commercial and home use. The case stated that commercial buyers are more interested in the cost than the average consumer who is after the design. Each faucet had to be available in at least 25 different colors. The critical issues in the case can be summarized as follows: 1. The marketing department is pressured to introduce new product in the market within a very short span of time to rush for the next trade show. 2. The engineering department is loaded with too much work (375 current projects) and pressured from new product request with tight deadline from marketing department. 3. Time and resources are wasted for the unclear and changing specification or requirements from the marketing department. 4. New product development takes too long (4 to 6 months). 5. Uncooperative culture and unresolved conflict between departments. With the executive council mandating an immediate move to project management and with the interview result from the external consultant, senior management should do the following to change the culture within the organization: Our proposal would be to create change not just between Marketing and Engineering but throughout the organization. This can done by using or implementing Lewin’s Change Management Model. By using this model, we can understanding the source of the conflict and finding a middle ground for both departments to function...

...Tammy Prater Survey of American History I HIST 2010 Spring 2014 “Manifest Destiny and American Territorial Expansion A Brief History with Documents” By Carrie Duncan Manifest Destiny is an event, and a philosophy, that changed how the United States expanded from thirteen colonies into what it is today. The term, Manifest Destiny, was first used in 1845 by John O'Sullivan, to give explanation for the United States' right of expansion. He stated that"...the right of our manifest destiny to over spread and to possess the whole of the continent which Providence has given us for the development of the great experiment of liberty and federaltive development of self government entrusted to us. It is right such as that of the tree to the space of air and the earth suitable for the full expansion of its principle and destiny of growth." 1 The principle behind Manifest Destiny has been around since Christopher Columbus first discovered the Caribbean. Many years after Columbus' discovery of the New World, Europe and Mexico were wanting to expand, and control new territories in North America. This want for new territory, would cause boundary issues and fears to arise soon after the Revolutionary War with the fledgling government of the United States. These boundary issues and fears would help the supporters, who wanted to expand the United States borders, to push for acquiring new territories in...

...The term “Glass Ceiling” became popular when a Wall Street Journal article used it in 1986. It refers to the barrier that prevents women from stepping into the top management level in any organizations. The “Glass Ceiling” is invisible and impenetrable. Very often a woman could see her ultimate career goal was just ahead of her, but she just could not get to the top of the hierarchy. Before the term was introduced, researchers had been exploring varies theories that could explain why it was so hard for women to reach the highest level in business that was dominated by white males. One explanation could be that women might have chosen less stressful jobs in order to take care of their family members. Another explanation was that women might lack the network of crucial professional contacts that could help them advance in their careers. After the term was introduced, the society became more and more aware of the unequal career opportunities offered to white men versus all other groups of people. The situation has been changing and improving, little by little. Many researches done in the 80s and 90s of the last century suggested that women were significantly underrepresented in upper management level, and their salaries and wages were much lower than the male counterpart. According to Cai & Kleiner (1999), in a 1989 estimation by the U.S. Department of Labor, only 1 to 2 percent of senior executive management positions include women. The report issued by the Federal Glass Ceiling...

And why? 10 What should Lewis have done? 12 Conclusion 13 References 14 Case Summary Bank of America (BoA), founded in 1998 is an American multinational banking and financial services corporation. They were notably a key player in the global financial crisis that struck in 2008. Ken Lewis, a former CEO acquired Countrywide Financial and Merrill Lynch. To his dismay, the acquisitions turned out to be disastrous as the first week of January 2009 enlightened the problems that existed within Countrywide Financial and Merrill Lynch; they were bankrupt with assets in their balance sheet that set a new mark for toxicity in the financial market. This required attention and direct aid from the Federal Government itself. However, following this month BoA fell by 65 percent. Just a month after the first quarter of 2009, Ken Lewis was made CEO and stripped off chairmanship by the shareholders’ consent. (Tanoh, 2013) The aftermath of the two acquisitions...

...as a ligand to form a complex ion, and these can also present in solid ‘hydrated’ salts of crystallization. For example, copper (II) nitrate (Cu(NO3)2∙3H2O) A complex ion has a metal ion at its center with a number of other molecules or ions surrounding it. These can be considered to be attached to the central ion by co-ordinate (dative covalent) bonds. The molecules or ions surrounding the central metal ion are called ligands. Simple ligands include water, ammonia and chloride ions. All ligands are lone pair donors. In other words, all ligands function as Lewis Bases. A base is an electron pair donor and an acid is an electron pair acceptor. Ligands like water, can donate a pair of non-bonding electrons(lone pair) intro a vacant orbital of a central metal ion and so dative covalent(co-ordinate) bonds hold a complex together. The central metal ion with vacant bonding orbitals can act as a Lewis acid. Ligands act as Lewis bases by electron pair donation to form the metal-ligand bond. Apparatus : filter paper , Buchner funnel, adapter, suction filtration flask, spatula, graduated cylinder, watch glass, glass rod, pipette Chemicals : water, copper (II) nitrate (Cu(NO3)2∙3H2O), 1:1ammonia solution, acetyl acetone Procedure : 1. 6g of copper(II) nitrate...

...On the morning of September 8, 2009, security cameras showed Annie Le, a doctoral student in the Yale School of Medicine’s Department of Pharmacology, entering the campus building in which she worked as an animal researcher. When Le failed to return home that evening, her roommates reported her missing to local police. Because security footage didn’t show Le leaving the building, authorities immediately closed it off, and Le’s body was found five days later, hidden inside a wall in a basement laboratory. She had been strangled. It was September 13 – the day on which Le, 24, was to be married. On September 17, police arrested Raymond Clark III, also 24, a lab technician who’d been working in the building on the day that Le disappeared. As of this writing, neither Clark nor the police have indicated any motive, but New Haven police chief James Lewis is on record as saying, “This is not about urban crime, university crime, [or] domestic crime, but an issue of workplace violence, which is becoming a growing concern around the country.” How much concern? In 2007, the last year for which there is reliable data, there were more than 5,600 work-related deaths in the United States. Of these, 864, or 15 percent, were due to assaults or other violent acts; homicides accounted for 628 deaths, or 11 percent of the total, with murder passing “Contact with objects and equipment” to take over the number-two spot in cause of workplace deaths (“Transportation incidents” remains number one)...

...according to the theories. At last, the essay will evaluate the contention that service failure whether can be recovered or not. In order to get a better understanding of the case study, this paper begins with the brief introduction of service excellence and service failure that in relation to the provision of hospitality services. Service excellence is an integrated approach to business that organizations set customers in the centre of all the activities (Clark and Baker, 2004). There is no exactly definition of service excellence, but some researchers (Horwitz and Neville, 1996; Dobni, 2002) pointed out that service excellence refers to the provision of service exceeds the customer's previous expectations. In a word, service excellence is not only meeting customer requirements but also about exceeding their expectations. Conversely, service failure can be defined as that the service does not meet the customer expectation and requirement. Service failure often occurs in the process and the outcome of the service delivery (Lewis and McCann, 2004). As pointed by Kandampully, Mok and Sparks (2001) that service failure depends on the customer's perception, no matter the perceptions are reasonable or fair. As a result, service failure was categorized by Hoffman, Kelley, and Rotalsky (1995) and classified into three categories: (1) employee response to service delivery failure, (2) employee responses to customer needs and...

...Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) were investigated in the present study. Methods: Participants were undergraduate university students (N=1163) and patients visiting their General Practitioners (GPs) for various somatic complaints (N=466). Results: According to the confirmatory factor analysis, both versions showed adequate fit to the theoretical one-and-one (positive and negative affect) factor model. Internal consistency coefficients (Cronbach-alpha values) were above .8 for the original positive and negative scales, .73 and .79 for the short positive scale, and .65 and .67 for the short negative scale in the student and the patient groups, respectively. The correlations between the original 10-item subscales and their 5-item counterparts were above .9 in both groups. Conclusion: The short PANAS scale represents a good and practical alternative for the original version, with lower but still acceptable internal consistency values.

...segregated, but small, city in Alabama. Only about 300 of Selma's 1,500 African Americans were registered to vote; that’s only 3%. The SNCC tried to work with their local black leaders to register more blacks to vote. But the fact that Selma’s sheriff was a very racist white man wasn’t the most optimal (CRM 1). When activists arrived in Selma they instantly met resistance from Sheriff Clark, “He initially arrested sixty-seven black people attempting to register to vote...deputies arrested one hundred sixty-five protesters and then chased them out of town with electric cattle prods” (CRM 2). The big breaking point for civil rights activists in Selma was the fatal shot from police that killed young demonstrator Jimmy Lee Jackson (Englebert 103). All of these awful factors are why Selma got chosen to have the march. Even though it took several attempts to complete the Selma to Montgomery March, it was a substantial step towards getting the Voting Rights Act being passed. The first Selma to Montgomery attempt was Sunday, March 7,1965; it was also known as Bloody Sunday. Hosea William, SCLC leader, and John Lewis, SNCC chairman, led the crowd of more than 500 people out of Selma to cross the Edmund Pettus Bridge (CRM 2). Since Governor Wallace had banned the March the previous day the marchers immediately met resistance at the bridge. On the other side...
