...The ability to lead is not a rare quality, but possessing all of the traits that make up a great leader is anything but common. The Tempest by William Shakespeare is about a former duke of Milan, Prospero, who was banished to an island with his daughter Miranda, after his brother, Antonio, usurped his power. The play begins with a storm created by Prospero that brings Antonio and prospers other enemies onto the island, along with a romantic interest for Miranda. One of the major themes in The Tempest is political power. Shakespeare represented many different approaches to power and leadership in The Tempest. These ideas are personified in the characters of the play, Gonzalo, Antonio, and Prospero. Each character possesses a quality or lack thereof that demonstrates their approach to power. The three important qualities needed for a great leader are the ability to lead with a great...

...The Tempest by William Shakespeare is a play about the sorcerer Prospero and his influence on an island. Prospero is the most powerful being on the island because he is free and has magical powers. With this power, he controls the other characters in the story. For example, he sets up his daughter with a prince and manipulates the other men who end up there. He exercises his will on the island with the help of his slaves Ariel and Caliban. In short, Ariel and Caliban (both enslaved servants to Prospero) have the same obligations to Prospero, but go about their business with a different mindset. For most of the play, Ariel and Caliban are enslaved servants to Prospero. They must obey Prospero and exercise his will throughout the island. The servants have a lot in common between their two situations. They were both affiliated with the witch Sycorax who is now dead. After her death, they both became servants to Prospero. Now, they are both forced to obey his commands. All in all, Ariel and Caliban have some similarities in their relationship with Prospero....

...Often called William Shakespeare’s farewell to the stage, The Tempest is considered to be one of his greatest plays. The Tempest is not set in reality, but in a mysterious world that melded everyday people and material with a beautiful fantasia. The Tempest features many fantastic themes, three of them include power and control, man versus monster and colonization. Out of all of the themes in The Tempest, these three themes are the most prevalent. The theme of power and control mainly ensues within Prospero, himself. This is prevailing in the way he treats his servants, Caliban and Ariel. Prospero says many nasty things to Caliban such as, “Thou poisonous slave, got by the devil himself. Upon thy wicked dam, Come forth!” (I.ii.383-384) From...

...| TEMPEST Paper | | A brief look into the history and evolution of compromising emanations. | | Nicole King CIS 284s Winter 2013 | 2/1/2013 | | Introduction TEMPEST stands for “Telecommunications Electronics Material Protected From Spurious Emanating Transmissions”. It also is used to refer to security preventing any exploitation of vulnerabilities created by compromising emanations of electrical devices. Basically when electrical devices operate, they generate electromagnetic signals that can be intercepted and used to reconstruct sensitive information. “Listening” for these signals is known as “eavesdropping”. With the right equipment an eavesdropper can be hundreds of feet from the signal. This presents a real problem when a computer is processing classified information. The NSA (National Security Agency) has developed the TEMPEST standard which consists of several industry measurements to avoid such leakage. These computers have heavy metal cases, different power supplies and some additional modifications. History TEMPEST came about in 1918 by a man named Herbert Yardley. He and his Black Chamber staff were instructed by the U.S. Army to find ways to detect and exploit combat radio transmitters and telephones. Yardley determined that normal equipment was allowing secret information to be passed to the enemy via technical vulnerabilities. A program was then created to find ways to prevent the compromising emanations. Even though the initial...

...Once you’ve already decided what topic you will be writing about, the next thing you should pay attention to is the scope of your paper or what you will be including in your discussion. The broader your topic is, the more difficult it is to discuss your topic in full details. This is why you should establish before hand the scope and limitations of your paper and this will be the foundation of your research paper outline. Basically, your outline will constitute three main parts namely the Introduction, the Body and the Conclusion. But to make sure your paper is complete, consult your instructor for specific parts he/she wants to be included in your research paper. Sample outlines for research papers will be given later on. But first, let us discuss the main parts of your paper and what information each should cover. INTRODUCTION The Introduction should contain your thesis statement or the topic of your research as well as the purpose of your study. You may include here the reason why you chose the particular topic or simply the significance of your research paper’s topic. You may also state what type of approach it is that you’ll be using in your paper for the entire discussion of your topic.

...Liminality and Communitas as new sources of Social Capital in Business Relationship Dynamics Dr Annmarie Ryan, Department of Management and Marketing, Kemmy Business School, University of Limerick, Ireland. Competitive Paper Abstract In this paper I develop a framework for the study of business relationships through the lens of liminality. This is achieved by discussing the work of Turner in relation to rites and rituals and their role in society. Those dimensions of the concept of liminality and communitas that are important for this study therefore include: that it involves interaction outside everyday lived experience; that liminality is constructed and is neither self-evident or naturally occurring; involves the transformation re-discovery and re-appropriation of every day spaces, through separation, or divestiture process, and subsequently (re)incorporated into the everyday through processes of investiture and importantly, incorporates a shared experience that can impact on relations between those who share the experience beyond the event itself. The concept of liminality is offered as a way to enable researchers to understand the interactions between managers in relationships in a new way. The focus of this paper is therefore threefold: 1/ to expand upon the concept of creating, holding and intensifying liminal space and 2/consideration of the effect of this on the organisation and 3/ reflection on this on-going entering into and leaving of liminal space...

...room lights, on at odd hours. The sound of powerful taps on a screen. Bleary eyes scanning the screen, rapid fusion of disparate information, brain whirring in a consistent, cyclic process. These actions form the substance of research; the substance of my identity. I was diagnosed with hyperactive and inattentive ADHD as a child, resulting in unfocused daydreaming, mental and physical restlessness, isolation in test rooms and being singled out in classrooms. Severe ADHD was an enormous burden for a child to experience and dare to succeed with, especially when nobody other than my parents, and my cousin Ha, truly understood me. While other children constructed life in coloring books and playgrounds, I used paper, markers, and my imagination to shape North Atlantic Coasts. Spending hours searching up everything from the strength of Typhoon Tip to the event horizon of black holes – books and research became the only devices that could quell the uncontrollable energy inside....

...In any situation you have to make the best decision for the organization without compromising your own morals and values. This paper will discuss the ethical dilemmas in these organizations and my decisions of The Case of the Mysterious Roses and The Case of the Cold Feet. The Case of the Mysterious Roses In this simulation I was the Director of Sales in the organization. I received an email from my administrative assistant and a work colleague in the organization telling me of an employee Gayle Dornier, receiving flowers from an anonymous person. The person that sends me the email assumes it is another employee sending the roses. Bill Witherspoon, a Research Scientist who also works in the company sends me an email informing me of him and Gayle’s work relationship and asking me to be lenient on Gayle because of issues she is going through. The next email I receive is from Gayle asking to speak with me in confidence but doesn’t disclose to me the reason for the meeting. The ethical issue is for me to determine how I can ensure Gayle can talk about what happened while still meeting my responsibility as a manager and to treat all employees fairly in an investigation. The next step was to determine who is directly involved and would be affected the most based on my decision. I chose the primary stakeholders to be the Shareholders, Carol Tempest, the Vice President of Human Resources, myself, Gayle Dornier the person receiving the roses, Bill Witherspoon, he may be the source...

...COURSE REQUIREMENTS Final course grades will be based on student performance on three written assignments and on student participation in class discussions. Written Assignments. Each student will be expected to submit two individual case analyses that indicate what the student learned from reading and discussing the case in question. The case analyses should be one single spaced typewritten page long and should be submitted the week after the case that they address is discussed in class. Individual case analyses will be graded on a scale from 1-3 and together will comprise 10% of a student’s final grade. Each student should also form a group with three to four other students to complete a case study of a real organization. The research for this case study can be carried out using primary sources (e.g., participation observation and/or interviews) or secondary sources (e.g., books, articles, or prepared cases about a target organization). Thus, group members need not have worked in an organization to use it as the subject of their final case analysis. Other case analysis topics may also be acceptable. Final...

...belief, and language is unknown to them and who make them feel insecure. The whites lay claim to 'their' new discovered country that was predestined for them by God. Catharine Maria Sedgwick's Hope Leslie (1827), set in seventeenth-century New England, deals with love, friendship, loyalty, and trust, which is challenging when two different worlds collide. The author works in many different ways to keep the novel exciting. The narrator is tangible in the text and he is partly addressing the reader directly. Furthermore, the author often stops telling her story at the most exciting point, and brings the plot up again later. The most significant technique of her narration however, is Sedgwick's use of the figurative language. In this research paper, I intend to decrypt and interpret the different aspects of the metaphorical language and omens in Hope Leslie. 2. The Metaphorical Language and Omens in Hope Leslie 2.1 The Puritans as God's Exemplary Instruments in Connection with Texts from Contemporary Witnesses Catharine Maria Sedgwick uses a very strong language to describe the Puritans, who see themselves as the "chosen servants of the Lord" (Sedgwick 75). The author's word choice strongly reminds me of John Cotton's remarks in Gods Promise to His Plantation (1630), a fair-well sermon for the people, who were going to leave Great Britain with John Winthrop. One of Cotton's doctrines reads, "The placing of a people . . . is from the appointment...

This paper reports the results of an experimental work conducted to investigate the effect of curing conditions on the properties of fly ash-based geopolymer bricks prepared by using fly ash as base material and combination of sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate as alkaline activator. The experiments were conducted by varying the curing time in the range of 1-24 hours respectively. The specimens cured for a period of 24 hours have presented the highest compressive strength for all ratio of fly ash to sand. For increasing curing time improve compressive strength and decreasing water absorption. Introduction A geopolymer, first defined by Davidovits, should more appropriately be referred to as a type of ‘‘inorganic polymer’’. More specifically...
