...Marie Curie I think I am lucky to learn at a school named for famous female scientist of the world. Her name is Marie Sklodowska Curie. She was a physicist, chemist French-Polish, famous worldwide for the study of radioactivity. Marie Curie is the first woman and also the world's only twice been awarded the Nobel Prize in two different fields, is enshrined as the most outstanding female scholars worldwide. Marie Curie's life is a miraculous story, with lots of great achievements. Marie Curie was born on November 17, 1867 in small town near the capital of Poland. When she was a child, she revealed more intelligent than people and not deterred by any difficulty and challenge to the scientific world to the vast, mysterious and exciting. After many years of research, she got many achievements by herself. In 1902, Marie Curie and her husband is Pierre Curie discovered the mysterious element radium. It opened the door to strong changes in the way scientists think about matter and energy. She also led the way to a new era for medical knowledge and the treatment of diseases. Many scientists on the world were very interested in this discovery because her research into a scientific discovery is very great, affecting the future of nuclear physics. Marie Curie has found the application of radioactive material in the chemical industry, in treatment and especially in biology, anatomy and X-ray industry to fight cancer. Nowadays, the radioactive substances and X-rays are used in......

...Marie Curie: A martyr to Physics As a symbol of the human quest for knowledge and the ability to sacrifice oneself for a higher cause, Marie Curie helped shape the world as we know it with her discoveries and personal interest in the welfare of mankind. Born in 1867, of Polish parents, Marie garnered an early appreciation for education, with her father, a mathematics and physics professor, and mother, a pianist, stressing the importance of diligent study. At eleven, Marie was left with her father as her sole guardian after the tragic death of her mother to tuberculosis. As a result, Marie became increasingly interested in physics, graduating at the top of her high school class at a mere fifteen years of age. Post-graduation, Marie worked for eight years as a private tutor and governess to earn sufficient money to attend the Sorbonne University in Paris, having been denied admittance to the University of Warsaw on account of being a woman. In what little spare time she was left, Marie pursued a study of mathematics and physics, while attending what many dubbed “a poorly organized school” conducted by Polish professors in defiance of the Russian edict banning their organization, composed of “a group of men and women who tried to quench their thirst for knowledge in secret sessions” (Quinn 1). In1891, Marie finally realized the first of her goals, leaving for Paris to attend the Sorbonne. Despite poor living conditions, a distinct lack of food and sleep, which rendered...

...Marie Salomea Sklodowska-Curie was born on November 7, 1867 in Warsaw, Poland. Of all the notable scientists in history, she is perhaps the strongest representation of a woman succeeding against all odds to change the field of physics and chemistry forever. Her discoveries led her from a childhood of obscurity to being one of the most well-known scientists of all time. Curie’s father taught Mathematics and Physics as a secondary teacher, and shared his passions and knowledge with his children. These were unusual subjects for girls to study at the time and Curie went on to achieve degrees in both because of her father's influence. Unfortunately, Curie’s family became lost everything when the principal of the school her father worked at, turned him in for being loyal to Poland, which was illegal under the Russian rule. Marie spent the rest of her youth struggling to fund her education. Marie Curie was an extremely intelligent woman who devoted her life to the pursuit of knowledge. She learned to read by the time she was four, “without even trying, it seemed” and soon she could read better than her older. At this young age she dreamed of becoming a scientist, even though such a dream would be difficult in her male dominated society. She received a general education in local schools and scientific training from her father. In 1891, Curie was finally able to continue her studies in the Sorbonne University, in Paris, where she studied and earned the equivalent of a master’s......

...Working Like a Cell "One never notices what has been done; one can only see what remains to be done." -- Marie Curie. From this quote made by Marie Curie, I had an idea that this may not only refer to a teacher but also to a cell. There are times when we forget or neglect what a teacher has contributed to our education, but we always see little children around us. Children who need the help of teachers, children who need to be literate. A cell may be so small that we cannot see how it works in our body, but we always see the result of each cell’s task, it gives us life – it helps us function. A cell is the smallest unit of life. It has an important role for the growth and development of organisms. The inside and outside of the cell must function well so that the organism may also perform well for its survival. Just like a cell, a teacher has a significant role in the society: to shape the lives of the young. The teacher must strive to be at his best because what this is what he will offer his students. His whole person, in exchange for being a good role model and to hone the minds of the young ones. A cell has a purpose. It has to covert the food that we eat into energy. To covert this, a cell contains organelles (little organs) with specialized functions. As a teacher, my purpose is to ensure that learning takes place in my classroom. My pupils are my organelles and I take on the responsibility to make them functional and productive.......

...of the tube, the professor found that the tube gave nearby objects a fluorescent glow of light. The upshot for the professor from this improvised experiment was that the tube must be giving off a new kind of ray that scientists were not yet familiar with. The most significant part of Roentgen’s discovery, for modern medical purposes, at least, was that the new ray given off by the cathode ray tube could go through human skin but not through harder materials like human bones (NA, 2014). The fact that the cathode tube was a common object in university and scientific circles meant that the rays could be readily reproduced all around the world, which added to the excitement and momentousness of the discovery at the time. Later on Marie Curie took up...

...and ring in the new’ it is surprising that any heroic figures from the past survive in the history books, but they do. There are some heroes who do not get erased from the pages. One of my personal all-time heroes is Marie Curie, the first woman to win the Nobel Prize. At a time when women were not allowed to enter the University of Warsaw, her home city, Marie worked as a governess before getting the opportunity to enroll in the Sorbonne in Paris. She graduated at the top of her class and became the first woman to take a degree in physics from the Sorbonne. But it is not simply for her breaking out of traditional molds that she is remembered. Her scientific work on radiation led to her two Nobel Prizes: the first joint with her husband, the second alone, after Pierre Curie’s death. She nearly did not get the second prize because of rumors of ‘misconduct’ in her private life. But she bravely went to Stockholm, despite opposition, and said that she believed that there was no connection between her private life and her scientific work. She died of cancer caused by exposure to radium, one of the elements that she discovered. Many great people from the past have had their reputations destroyed by exposure of their human frailties. But some, like Marie Curie, achieve such greatness that they will be remembered for their achievements. She symbolizes the human quest for knowledge and the capacity to sacrifice self for a higher goal. Women everywhere will gain strength from......

...and examples. (You may use personal examples or examples from your reading, observations, or, knowledge of subjects such as history, literature, science.) One of the memorable images from Eisenstein’s classic silent film on the Russian Revolution is the toppling of a statue. The destruction of the statue symbolizes the throwing out of the old order along with its heroes and replacing it with a new. Considering this human tendency to ‘ring out the old and ring in the new’ it is surprising that any heroic figures from the past survive in the history books, but they do. There are some heroes who do not get erased from the pages. One of my personal all-time heroes is Marie Curie, the first woman to win the Nobel Prize. At a time when women were not allowed to enter the University of Warsaw, her home city, Marie worked as a governess before getting the opportunity to enroll in the Sorbonne in Paris.

...When creativity is used within an organization, innovative and creative performance is encouraged among management and employees. Imagination and creative intelligence is the total reflection of creativity. “Creativity intelligence depicts how the world is perceived through personality, individuality, beliefs, behavior, and character. The desire to accomplish something new, achieve a different outcome, or thought process is the focus of creativity. Creative intelligence consists of four styles: intuitive, innovative, imaginative, and inspirational (Rowe, 2004).” This paper will explore the four styles of creative intelligence and how they influence an organization’s strategic management process. Also, the influence the five forces have over the mental models and mindsets will be evaluated, and examples demonstrating how mental models and mindsets can limit the decision-making process of an organization will be mentioned. Intuitive The intuitive style guides decisions based on previous experiences and the results that occurred from the experiences (Rowe, 2004). Jack Welch, the former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of General Electric was a strong leader that led a company out of near ruin to revitalization. His strategy was to focus on the results and action. He is described as being a tough and charismatic, yet fair leader who believed that the key to a business being successful is people. Welch believed that every person had possibility, and that creativity......

...Jason and Marie Salerno, brother and sister, have been running their family business, a water park called Wild Water, since they both graduated from the college. The Salernos operate the park, which is located near the New Jersey shore, with help from their parents. Marie’s husband and Jason’s wife are also involved in the business. Wild Water has now been in business for more than 40 years—it is a landmark to both locals and summer tourists. The water park features such attraction as a wave pool, several water slides, a flume ride, a kiddie pool, and a tube ride. A picnic park, shaded petting zoo, aquarium, snack bar, and restaurant called the Seafood Shack round out the park’s offerings. The park opens on Memorial Day and cuts back to weekends only after Labor Day, typically closing in the fall. With just a few months to accumulate revenue, the family and employees of the park work extremely hard. Marie oversees the financial aspects of the business, while Jason manages the staff. The staff—ride operators, ticket takers, lifeguards, and the like—are very loyal. Some have parents who once worked at the water park, and many have siblings who also work there. By its very nature, the organization culture of Wild Water is hierarchical—but most who work there, including Jason and Marie, would refer their employees as part of the family. Jason holds weekly staff meetings, where employees are encouraged to voice their idea about any aspect of the park’s operations. Photos of......

...reasons to why it worked. Preparation allows the scientist to think more about other solutions to problems. A person can allow the imagination to keep generating ideas. Imagination is often the beginning to new discoveries. Another way for a person to keep his mind open to chance would be to think positively; he or she should never allow negativity to get in the way. Never think that it will not work until it has been proven by testing.. Mistakes in science can be good because the results can be analyzed and studied for new ways to help science. A mistake is not viewed as wasted time or effort. It can be recorded as history and already proven or disproved. Some risks associated with research are that there are many unknowns. As for Marie Currie, she must not have known about exposure to radiation. She developed cancer after years of research from discovering radioactivity of thorium, polonium and...

...trip and what the company paid. These may be intentionally fraudulent actions that I believe should be looked into further Below is a list of findings that I believe should be looked into right away: • Approval Number 124500 has been used 3 times. • Expense Number 561856 was never formally approved by management • Expense Numbers 5641055, 5641104 & 5641337 exceeded the Max Amount Allowed by over 20%. • Carl Svenson has unusually high taxi cost as well as a high number of reimbursements. Marie Redwood also has a high number of reimbursements. • Expense Number 5640926 & 5640975 claimed both airfare and mileage. • There are 19 instances where both a taxi and car rental cost was claimed. • Expense Number 5640975 claimed both mileage and a car rental cost. • There is a high number of instances where the actual distance is exceeded in the claims for reimbursements. • Marie Redwood’s claim from Atlanta is 300 over the average. Upon reviewing these findings, I found that Carl Svenson and Marie Redwood’s name appears more often than others when these tests were run. I believe this warrants the need to investigate their actions on a deeper level for possible fraudulent activity. Expense Number 5640975 was also a result of multiple tests, in further investigation, it was found that this is Carl Svenson as well. John Karino (approval number 124500) has used this number on 3 separate occasions, which urges investigation into his activities. Those who have claimed both rental......

...statement, I doubt whether it can bear much analysis. We live in a big society that is composed of people from all walks of life. Different jobs have different functions in this society. For example, the function of cleaners is to keep the city clean and tidy; the function of soldiers is to maintain the safety and peace of the society. Maybe they earn less money than those businessmen, but they still work heart and soul on their duties. I believe it is the contributions they make to society that makes them work that hard! Now, let’s take a close look at the scientists. Some of them spend their whole lives inventing new things, exploring the mysterious things and innovating new technology. The scientist, such as Edison, Einstein and Madam Curie, will be shinning like the stars in everyone’s heart! We can say, it is the spirits they have, contributions they have made to all human beings, great findings and inventions they have left to us that makes them giants! Thanks to them, the society is developing faster and faster. Can we say what they do is for the sake of money? Furthermore, if everyone in this society worked only for money, what can it turn out to be? Severe competitions my make people become cold-blooded, force them to use illegal means in order to make profit, or even commit some...

...Problem The problem in this case is that Marie did not acquire Jane’s inherited referent power, which is triggering conflict among colleagues resulting in negative side effects. ● The two senior secretaries developed and shared similar values, accepting Marie’s work ethic and job responsibilities was a struggle for them and is leading to strained relationships. ● Jane’s influence was so strong that after a few weeks they actually had an exorcism. Due to Jane being held to such high esteem, Marie’s stature and position are constantly under fire. ● The staff thinks Marie should stay in reading and writing all day instead of attending meetings because that was more in line with Jane’s role. Therefore, conflict surrounding how Marie is spending her time is occurring. ● When Marie wanted to correct an ethical mistake regarding her schooling that Chuck had dictated, because of Theresa’s personal perceptions she became very upset and saw it as burning a bridge. ● Maria unfairly complained to Chuck about Marie because there was a jurisdictional dispute between the two of them about missing a deadline. Solution The solution to the problem we have identified is to eliminate the negative impacts of conflict between Marie and colleagues by restructuring interdependence by clarifying existing relationships. ● By communicating openly about Marie’s position and expectations, a difference between Jane and Marie’s positions can be established and understood by the entire......
