(List Companies, Locations and Roles)TECHO – Buenos Aires, Argentina – Volunteer and ParticipantMercantile Bank of Michigan – Grand Rapids, MI – Commercial Loan Clerk InternCitigroup Inc.– New, York – Capital Strategies Group Analyst InternW here will you be working after graduation? Citigroup Inc.  Ã¢â‚¬â€œ New York, NY – Treasury and Trade SolutionsWhat company do you admire most? I admire a non-profit called Techo, which works to build sustainable houses to better communities throughout Latin America. Beyond the incredible work that the organization does, what impresses me the most is the people who work in the offices and out in the neighborhoods that the organization serves. Comprised of mostly college students and unpaid volunteers, the company culture not only impacts the recipients of the houses, but also those students. It’s pretty normal for them to go to extreme measure to save every penny from salaries to put that money into the homes they build. Lastly, I admire that Techo because apart from interactions like dinner at the locals’ own homes and celebrations after a successful building trip, no matter the nationality of the person that works or volunteers for them, you feel as if you a re part of the family forever.What did you enjoy most about your business school? What I enjoy the most about the Miami Business School is its diversity. Being from a mostly white small town in West Michigan, I was able to meet friends from all over the world and many from Latin America in particular. This was the most valuable part of my education as I was able to learn about how life, and specifically business, is done differently throughout different countries. This allowed for me to hone in on my cultural intelligence skills, which was of the most value during my time working in Argentina, Peru, and with different nationalities in Miami. More importantly, this allowed me to have a greater appreciation for the complexities of culture, how it impacts business’ and people’s choices, which is something a textbook can never teach.What is the biggest lesson you gained from studying business? The biggest lesson I have learned from studying business is the importance of le adership and problem solving. Having the opportunity to take many classes across many different disciplines of businesses, I learned how each area has its own specific lingo and knowledge and that is key to understanding its principles. However, regardless of the area of a business you are in, the ability to problem solve – and for those problem solvers to act as ethical and decisive leaders – is critical. What this has helped me gain is the insight that no matter where my career leads me in the future, being able to bring decisive and ethical leadership and problem solving to the table makes me valuable no matter my job description.What advice would you give to a student looking to major in a business-related field? My advice would be to align what you want to see in your future self with the skills you need and then choose the major. This is of the upmost importance because you can go any number of ways in an area. For example, in finance, you may want to go into inv estment backing. However, if you don’t have enough modelling or computer skills, you have to add those other quantitative skills to focus your choices to shape yourself into the person and for the career you want.What has surprised you most about majoring in business? What surprised me the most is the need to be able to connect the different ideas and knowledge from all areas of business. Whether it is accounting in a finance course, or marketing in a consulting course, being able to bring together all the knowledge to address an issue or problem is of the upmost importance. I didn’t expect this to be so important as I believed that all areas would be separate from each other.â€Å"If I didn’t major in business, I would be majoring in or studying†¦Engineering so that I could bring my desire to problem solve into my career.†Who most influenced your decision to pursue business in college? My dad. He is a real estate agent, and he needs to use really st rong interpersonal skills to be able to navigate the complexities of a deal, which is something I admired as a kid.Which academic, extracurricular or personal achievement are you most proud of? I am proudest of being an inductee into Iron Arrow. The Honor Society recognizes my impact on all parts of our University, rather than just a particular college or student organization. It is one of the hardest accolades to earn, and requires a unanimous support of a former inductees who are faculty, students and administrators from the entire campus community.Which classmate do you most admire? I admire DJ Washington because he was a football player for the first two years of his undergraduate career, and he decided to strictly pursue his academic life at UM. His decision to leave a top tier football program had to be one of the hardest things because anyone who has been a student-athlete knows that it takes up a lot of time. DJ still has many friends on the team, but he found ways to be mor e engaged on campus and take on leadership positions, including running for President of Student GovernmentWho would you most want to thank for your success? I would like to thank my Mom for my success. My mom is a teacher and she taught me at a young age the importance of education. However, going beyond that, she showed me that education isn’t just a way to do well in life, but that it is also a way to help others.What are the top two items on your bucket list? I would like to catch a Blue Marlin and also attend a National Championship for College Football where I would hopefully watch the Miami Hurricanes win.What are your hobbies? My hobbies include fishing, boating, basketball, traveling, surfing, and college football. One of the reasons why Miami was a perfect for me was that I could work hard and still have time to indulge in some of my favorite things—deep sea fishing, travel and basketball. South Florida is world famous for its deep sea fishing, and to be able to go out with my dad or friends for just a weekend and be back in school on Monday was an amazing experience every time.Most kids want to do Europe—I didn’t need that. I visited Patagonia and posted the UM Flag right on the Perito Moreno Glacier.I am also 6’7†, and I knew I would not play basketball at the Division 1 level. There are lots of guys like me who love the game, and enjoy the competition of being on the court. At UM, I can still get a really competitive game, and then go off and do the other things that really matter to me.What made Kyle such an invaluable addition to the Class of 2019?â€Å"Kyle is an old spirit in that he is one of those people who says what he means and does what he says. No matter how difficult the task, if he commits to it, one can depend on the deliverable being executed to the highest order. He’s built a reputation among his peers, faculty and the administration as someone who operates with genuine strength of c haracter and a firm ethical and moral compass. We, in undergraduate business, will feel a huge sense of loss when he crosses the stage this May.†EllenMarie McPhillip Assistant Dean, Undergraduate Business Education, MBS Page 1 of 11

An Examination of Similes in the Iliad - and How Homers...

An Examination of Similes in the Iliad - and how Homers Use of Them Affected the Story In the Iliad, Homer finds a great tool in the simile. Just by opening the book in a random place the reader is undoubtedly faced with one, or within a few pages. Homer seems to use everyday activities, at least for the audience, his fellow Greeks, in these similes nearly exclusively. When one is confronted with a situation that is familiar, one is more likely to put aside contemplating the topic and simply inject those known feelings. This would definitely be an effective tactic when used upon the people of Homers day. From the heroic efforts in the Iliad itself it is clear that the populace of his time were highly emotional creatures,†¦show more content†¦This is a wonderful simile that brings home the nervous twitchiness that would denote a person scared to death in such a situation. Later in Book Five there is a great dichotomy of similes. First, Hera comes down flying like turtledoves in eagerness to help the Argives. followed by a scene surrounding Diomedes where hi s men are fighting like lions or wild boars. Both of these have their own respective importance. There is probably no more revered avian for peace and beauty than the turtledove, and applying this to Hera shows where her intentions lie. While lions and boars are notoriously vicious creatures, sure to raise a hackle or two on a Greek reader, and when exercised on Diomedes it brings their ferocity home. The interesting thing here is the contrast between the two. This is another example of how the Greeks are made to look like animals. In Book Ten Nestor comments on a set of horses that Odysseus is ushering, won by Diomedes through killing some Trojans, that they are like sunbeams. A very short, and odd, description for horses. One is reminded of Apollo and his kinship with his chariot, often referred to as racing across the heavens. The thought of golden horses gliding straight and true, unwavering, is most definitely an image depicting the eliteness of these thoroughbreds. Shortly after Agamemnon dons his armor.

Essay on Paul’s Case A Study in Temperament by Willa Cather

A Symbolic Perception Imagine being entrapped in a life that you did not feel you belonged in. That is the story of Paul in â€Å"Paul’s Case,† written by Willa Cather. He lived in a suburban home where everyone seemed the same and there was a feeling of despair. Paul, who was a young man, felt that his father, teachers and classmates misunderstood him and therefore were unworthy of his company. In the story there are many symbolic elements. Flowers, for instance, symbolize Paul’s personality and life. The parallel between the boy and the flowers is made by the author many times throughout the short story. In the beginning of the story Paul has a meeting with the teachers of his school because he was misbehaving. For the meeting†¦show more content†¦He became lost in the music, plays, and art. While Paul was at home, he would dream about the life he believed himself to be living as â€Å"a morbid desire for cool things and soft lights and fresh flowers† (55). To Paul, people who enjoyed having the presence of flowers seemed to be of a higher class above the rest. That is why he always wore a flower. He describes his neighbourhood, the people he despises to be, â€Å"prosy men who never wore frock coats, or violets in their buttonholes (pg. 60).† He would dream about, â€Å"the flowers he sent (pg. 60),† to members of the stock company who were his â€Å"acquaintances.† Paul wants to be as the flowers, living to all of their extent, saturating in the beauty of life. While Paul was in New York City one of the first things he did was â€Å"[ring] for the bell boy [to send] him down flowers† (62). He was living out his dreams. He was pleased with his surroundings and his style of living during his days in New York and expressed his â€Å"dearest pleasure [was] . . . his enjoyment of his flowers† (66), and goes on to say that he couldn’t remember a time of such bliss. He loved all forms of creative expression and was intrigued by, â€Å"whole flower gardens blooming behind glass windows, against which the snowflakes stuck and melted; violets, roses, carnations, lilies of the valley-somehow vastly more lovely and alluring that they blossomed thus unnaturally in the snow.† (64) The flowers induceShow MoreRelated Young Goodman Brown VS.

Penetrating the Darkness of the Congo - 868 Words

Over ten million Africans were killed in the Congo during the European imperialism invasion that in 1850. In Heart of Darkness, Joseph Conrad uses the setting to show the detrimental effects of European imperialism has on the mind, Africa, and those who would became intricate pawns in the capitalist greed of European companies. During the book Africa can be seen as a character that is fighting against the invaders. While the characters in the book stay in Africa they find that their psyche becomes severely damaged.

Cost-Benefit Analysis and Project Budget free essay sample

We are creating a Smartphone application for use as a travel aid for the public and the profit will be donated to the partnership for children charity. The total budget allocated for this project is ? 20,000. We have ? 10,000 from our own funds and we will be using this fund for the promotion of the app with ? 10,000. The council has also provided us with ? 10,000 subsidy. We have used our funds on Feasibility, User Requirement and Analysis, Design, Coding, Testing and Operation. This is very useful as it is a one-off cost, and we will not be spending on this again but it will benefit us in the long run. The total population in the Kingston upon Thames Borough is 160,400 according to the Office of National Statistics 2012. We hope that 25% of the population in the Kingston upon Thames Borough will purchase this application within the first 12 months of release. If 25% of the population purchased the app, there would be 40,100 customers. Therefore, the total revenue generated for 25% of the population would be 40,100 x ? 1. 49 = ? 9,749. The profit would be (Revenue – Cost) ? 59,749 ? 20,000 = ? 39,749. This project is very sustainable because it is simple to run and easily profitable. Any profit generated will go back to the maintenance of the application and the remainder will be donated back to Partnership for Children Charity. As a team we have come up with a more accurate budget for creating a Smartphone application. We have investigated and researched into all the areas of the project where we as a team think money will be used. Below you can see a table of our budget plan. The total budget is the overall cost of the project. Methodology Prince 2 In addition, when we were creating a smart phone app project clearly we focuses the best way to have an effective project management was by following PRINCE2 methodology. The selections of Prince2 methodology clearly focus on business justification. Besides that it is commonly used by the UK government and is a well known project methodology approach. Overall we believe these two methodologies meets the requirements of our project and it will help us and guide us to develop the final application of the project. The key features of PRINCE2 methodology: * It’s clearly focus on business justification * A defined organisation structure for the project management team * It’s product-based planning approach * It’s emphasis on dividing the project into manageable and controllable stages * It’s flexibility to be applied at a level appropriate to the project This diagram shows the stages of our project in detail Source: http://upload. wikimedia. org/wikipedia/en/thumb/6/6d/Prince2_diagram. png/480px-Prince2_diagram. png(From 24/03/2013) Waterfall (Traditional) methodology When we were creating a smart phone app project clearly we focuses the best way to have an effective project was following by the Waterfall (Traditional) methodology. Furthermore the waterfall model describes a development method that is linear and sequential over the time. However In our Project Waterfall development has distinct goals for each stage of development. The key features of Waterfall (Traditional Methodology) are: * The Waterfall method is also well known methodology method in mobile application project. Its describes a development method that is linear and sequential way * The project requires the achievement of one stage before moving to the next stage (Therefore any fault in this application will be detected during one of the stage) * It is flexibility to be applied to the project Maintenance Implementation Coding / System design User Requirements Analysis Waterfall Model Testing/Debugging Installation We are going to hire IT profes sionals to do all the stages. Requirement analysis involves finding out what the customer wants and showing clearly the purpose of the product. All specific requirements are found out at this stage. This information can be obtained through questionnaires, customer interviews and use cases. Design involves translating the identified requirements into a logical structure and consists of defining the hardware and software architecture, components, modules, interfaces, and data to satisfy specified requirements It involves defining the hardware and software architecture, specifying performance and security parameters, designing data storage containers and constraints, choosing the IDE and programming language, and indicating strategies to deal with issues such as exception handling, resource management and interface connectivity. System design helps in specifying hardware and system requirements. The system design specification is a starting point for the next phase of the model. Implementation consists of constructing the product according to the design specification. It involves converting the new system design into operation. This may involve implementing the software system and training the operating staff before the software system is functional. This step is performed by a development team consisting of programmers, interface designers and other specialists, using tools such as compilers, debuggers, interpreters and media editors. In testing all the components are methodically verified to make sure it is error-free and make sure the requirements are met. An independent quality assurance team defines test cases to evaluate whether the product fully or partially satisfies the requirements in the first step. Three types of testing takes place: unit testing of individual code modules; system testing of the integrated product; and acceptance testing, formally conducted by or on behalf of the customer. If defects are found they are logged and feedback is provided to the implementation team to correct the defects. Installation occurs once the app has been tested and certified as fit for use, and involves preparing the system /product for installation and use at the customer site. Maintenance: This occurs after installation, and involves making changes to the system or an individual component to alter or improve performance. These modifications arise either due to change in requests by the customer, or defects uncovered during use of the system.

Sociology and Social Science for Urban Ecology - myassignmenthelp

Question: Discuss about theSociology and Social Science for Urban Ecology. Answer: Urban ecology is the study of the interplay of social and physical dimensions of a city. It helps to identify the zonal theory that exists in the city. The members of the Chicago School developed the terminology stating that it acts as the link between physical as well social dimensions of the cities. Urban ecology helps in identifying the ways by which physical and social forms of cities influence one another. The common factors that exist among people in specific residential areas are also analysed by urban ecology. Religiosity may include various dimensions that help in understanding the subject. Glocks five dimensions of religiosity include: Experiential: Experiential religiosity is the strength that a person possesses those ties with the emotions of a religion. Ritualistic: Ritualistic religiosity investigates the frequency of the activities. This includes the frequent time a person has involved prayers or visiting the church. Ideological: Ideological religiosity addresses the beliefs of an individual in the factors that lead to the doctrine of religion. Consequential: The strength of a religious behaviour in the daily life of a person is stated by consequential religiosity. Intellectual: Intellectual religiosity looks beyond the behavioural norms of an individual. Sociologists have provided a basic definition of the terms sex and gender. The definitions act as differences between the two terms and provide a comprehensive and detailed understanding of the terms. On the other hand, sex refers to the biological distinction that helps in differentiating between a male and a female. Gender refers to the differences and hierarchies of the social aspects that exist between a male and a female. These two differences provide a clear knowledge of the terms and clarify any confusion that exists regarding it. The terms heterosexism and homophobia can be identified separately in order to differentiate between the terms. Heterosexism is the ideology that characterises and dismisses a group of citizens that are considered as inferior in the society. This can be related to the terms sexism and racism. Most people consider the terms to be inappropriate and take offence in the terms. However, this concept has been made legal by the international law. Homophobia refers to the fear that exists which is developed as contempt for homosexuals. The term came into existence in the early 1970s by George Wienberg who developed a homophobia scale. 'Ethnicity' is considered as a shared cultural and historical heritage. The members that exist in an ethnic group consist of common ancestors, religious beliefs and languages. It helps in developing a unique and distinctive social identity. The enrichment of the people is based on the ethnic group that they belong in. On the other hand, the term race' is considered as a dangerous concept as it refers to people with similar biological traits. The members of a society consider these characteristics as a significant social attribute. The race of people is categorised based on physical characteristics that they possess. Most people due to the discrimination created by it consider this as an improper term. The common features of new social movements include a wide range of public issues that cause a great deal of talking point among people. There have been movements that encourage the development of greenery around the world in order to prevent the decline of the environment. Similarly, there have been movements concerning the empowerment of women and taking a challenging role in the elimination of AIDS in the society. A worldwide anti-capitalist movement has also resulted from the acts of new social movement' in the world.
