360 Peer Review
While reflecting on my time at the Chief Petty Officer's Academy (CPOA), three elements of learning most impacted my persona and changed me as a
leader. These elements of learning include both class room presentations and personal interactions with fellow attendees. The three elements of learning
that will be discussed in this paper are 360 peer review report, understanding generational gaps, and recognition that everyone has different experiences
within the mess. Each element has changed how I view the Coast Guard and will shape my future interactions with others. The first element of learning
that impacted me was that of the 360 peer review. I feared and most anticipated this section because I value the constructive feedback I knew it
would give. I sent the survey to a mix of people, but more favored members in which I was in a supervisor role while they were experiencing a
personal hardship. Therefore I was unsure of the response I would receive, but valued the input I receive. It was great to know that I ... Show more

This presentation was interesting to me because I have done my own studies on the subject in order to become a better leader and father. The most
interesting aspect of the conversation was the input from others in the class. It was nice to know that others were feeling the same way that I was
when attempting to relate to the up and coming generation. My roommate put it best to me in the form of an analogy; a professional coach in sports
does not ask their players to conform to their rule, they conform to what works for the players. This analogy helped me understand that I need to be
more open to changing to my crew, other than requiring my crew to change to my style. The end goal is to complete the mission, just like a sports

Shakespeare And 360 Comparison
Since the Shakespearean era, texts and novels have gradually declined in complexity from the deep yet sophisticated standards set by Shakespeare
himself. 2014 may in fact experience yet another lyrical genius through the work of a new rapper sensation Matthew James Colwell better known
by his stage name 360, writes Aidan Sparshott. What is the difference? Many people believe that rap and the lyrics are the new version redefining
the play house but at the same time a minority say both musical categories are not similar. I believe they are wrong. Rap is seen to be sweeping the
world by storm replacing the common and classical procedure of theatrical performances. But how could 360 possibly be regarded in some instances
as the new Shakespeare... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Shakespeare reached this understanding as well, many of his plays using death as the resolution to a problem. From this meaning we see that Cowell
has successfully achieved and understanding of the human condition, also understood by Shakespeare, condemning us to believe that the language is
celebrated by this. However in the same instance, the English language is somewhat belittled with words like 'gotta', derivatives of actual words,
becoming part of our spoken language. This is due to colloquialism and the adaption of old language into new and more usable speech for the
working class person, the line between celebrating and denigrating the language becomes blurry. Ontological, metaphysical &phenomenological are
all appropriate words to describe how Shakespeare wrote. Many rappers including 360 write with deep and philosophical meanings behind each verse.
Colwell produces torrential amounts of sugary pop production, but with honest and unflinching lyrics which leaves lasting impression on listeners. A
large per cent of songs released these days denigrate the language Shakespeare worked tirelessly to improve. However as these songs verge on the line
between good and bad, Cowells writing continues to grow, helping to celebrate the language. Fathers pass their knowledge onto the next generation in a

Article Body:
With a variety of gaming consoles available today, all produced by well known and high profile corporations, it can be difficult to know which one is
the best to invest your hard earned money in. The choice can become even more overwhelming as technology marches on relentlessly and consoles
seem to change as quickly as you can turn around, so if you are having some trouble making a choice, here are some thoughts that might just help you
out.
The average lifespan, it is estimated, of a games console is about five years. That is not to say that your still working gaming equipment will suddenly
and inexplicably combust after a five year period, rather that at about that time, manufacturers typically introduce a more technologically advanced
version of their former console. If being at the cutting edge of technology is important to you, then purchasing a console at the start of this standard
five–year period is a wise move. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

Originally dubbed the "DirectX Box," the console was intended to be the first game system built like a PC and to bring all of the flexibility and
power of a gaming rig to the console market. The system would run on Windows 2000, making it easy for traditional PC software developers to work
within the console's architecture, and feature more than twice the processing power of the industry–leading PlayStation 2. Despite the marketing team's
belief that the abbreviated "Xbox" name wouldn't fly, the label went over well with focus groups, providing the company with one of the final
elements it needed to pull back the curtain on its creation: a catchy name. Just two years later, Microsoft was ready to go public with its console, and
that's exactly what Bill Gates did at the Game Developers Conference on March 10, 2000. Teasing the system's vastly improved specs and the potential
for both online play and internal storage of downloaded content – whether games or media – Gates managed to get the world's attention, though many
remained skeptical of what they saw as nothing more than a fancy PC dressed up like a gaming console.Nearly a full year later, Bill Gates – with help
from Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson – revealed the final design of the Xbox at the 2001 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, along with the

Evolution of the Xbox Supply Chain
1.) What supply chain changes did Microsoft make between the Xbox and the Xbox 360? What was the motivation for these changes? When Microsoft
first entered the market with the release of the Xbox in 2001 it was a newcomer in the console business. The company had neither an established
brand presence in this area, nor did it have a developed base of games and gamers in the market, such as Sony. Therefore, the primary purpose of
introducing the Xbox was to establish Microsoft in the market, to develop a brand presence, gain acceptance among gamers and to prepare the way for
future products. Therefore, Microsoft's ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
However, when Microsoft started the development of its next generation console– the Xbox 360– it recognized the deficits and problems related to its
initial strategy: the company was operating under too high costs in order to assure high product availability which was not the critical factor in this
business. The nature of the console business is about providing the customer with a cheap hardware and a variety of games, in order to generate
profits from games sales. Additionally, the first Xbox was released one year behind Sony's PS2, Microsoft's biggest competitor in the market. This
delay resulted in a substantial loss of sales and consequently reduced game sales. Therefore, Microsoft learned that the Xbox 360 had to be launched
ahead of Sony's PS3. Accordingly, one relevant part of Microsoft's new strategy was the "first–to–market" approach. Another essential change in
Microsoft's business strategy concerned its cost structure in the Xbox supply chain. Whereas the initial strategy focused heavily on reliability,
Microsoft changed its strategy to achieving reduced costs and increased profitability. Additionally, the company insisted on owning the design of
critical components, such as the microprocessor and the graphics chip, in order to "control its own destiny". Therefore, the supply chain network
needed to be redesigned in order to support Microsoft's strategic shift. So as to reach the desired cost

Representation of Society in Euripides' Medea Essay
Representation of Society in Euripides' Medea
During the time of Euripides, approximately the second half of the fifth century B.C., it was a period of immense cultural crisis and political
convulsion (Arrowsmith 350). Euripides, like many other of his contemporaries, used the whole machinery of the theater as a way of thinking about
their world (Arrowsmith 349). His interest in particular was the analysis of culture and relationship between culture and the individual. Euripides used
his characters as a function to shape the ideas of the play (Arrowsmith 359).
In Medea, there was not a "traditional" hero, but a fragmentation between the two paired major characters, which is characteristic of Euripides' work
(Arrowsmith 356). Jason ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Euripides was interested in how culture affected things. He was not the typical writer and his characters confirm this. In Medea, Euripides wanted his
characters to participate in a culture that was under extreme stress, perhaps the same stress that his culture was experiencing. He exhibited this by
writing as if his characters were transplanted into a different culture, unique from their own, as if to use the unfamiliarity as psychological strain.
Therefore the strain would immortalize or distort them. The way in which Medea meditates the murder of her children is much admired, however
Euripides' interest is in the collapse or derangement of culture that makes the murder both possible and necessary (Arrowsmith 357).
Euripides sends the message through his characters that human character is altered by suffering. During the pressures of war when humans are subject
to harsh necessity, human nature has a new range of behaviors, chaotic and uncontrollable. Behind Jason and Medea Euripides wanted the audience to
see that the spreading of expedience and revenge, when unchecked by culture or religion, would bring about the Peloponnesian War (Arrowsmith 361).
Superficially, Medea is a critique of relations between men and women, the struggle between Jason and Medea; then the struggle between Creon and
Medea. However at the deeper level, Medea is a critique of the quality and state of the contemporary culture of Euripides (Arrowsmith 361). The unique

Xbox 360 History
Many people have heard of Microsoft. Many people have also heard of their product known as Windows. Windows is a computer operating system.
Even though Microsoft only worked on computers, they released their first ever video game console known as the Xbox in late 2001. The Xbox had
newer, upgraded versions of the console later on such as the Xbox 360 in 2005 and the Xbox One in 2013. The idea of the Xbox first started when
Kevin Bachus, Seamus Blackley, Otto Berkes, and Ted Hase were working on developing the DirectX. The DirectX was a set of API's (application
programming interfaces) that was introduced by Microsoft in 1995 which encouraged videogame developers to embrace their Windows operating
system. These men approached Bill ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
This was good, however, it had some consequences. When the Xbox 360 was released as quickly as possible, huge, technical problems with the
console caused Microsoft to replace or repair most of the consoles. This made video game designers learn valuable lessons about taking time with their
products (Lasky). There were many different designs of the Xbox 360, such as the Pro, Premium, Elite, and Arcade (Loguidice). There are two current
Xbox 360 S (slim) models which are the Xbox 360 250GB and the Xbox 360 4GB. These models are similar because they both include 5 USB
(universal serial bus) 2.0. ports and a custom port for the Kinect sensor. They also have optical digital audio with built in WiFi (Loguidice). "They also
are sleeker, smaller, and run quieter and cooler than their predecessors" ( Loguidice). The Xbox 360 4GB and the Xbox 360 250GB are also different.
The Xbox 360 4GB (as the name implies) has 4GB of storage. This is enough for playing physical copies of games, but not for downloaded games. A
hard drive can be purchased to get more space though. This model also costs $100 less than the Xbox 360 250GB. The Xbox 360 250GB model

The video game market has slowly and steadily created a larger presence for itself in the entertainment industry. The largest part of the market's recent

(Internet Movie Database) The film Avatar earned $760 million within three years, and Titanic earned $658 million within six years, all of which are
comprised of film earnings at the box office and home video recordings like DVD or Blu–ray. The technology created by Microsoft for their Xbox 360
is the first of its kind. A perfect example is a device called the Kinect. This device utilizes a microphone and multiple cameras to enhance gamers'

Analysis Of Xbox 360 Environmental Practices
Introduction
This essay focusses on critical assessment of the report submitted by group 16 on the ?Analysis of Xbox 360 Environmental Practices?. The importance
of purchasing gaming consoles and gadgets from brands that focus on environment friendly assembling of components and recycling has been
discussed in the report submitted by group 16, with constant criticism given to Microsoft regarding it?s usage of harmeful materials such as brominated
flame retardants(BFRs), PVC plastic and phthalates being done in order to make several components of the much hyped gaming console xbox 360. All
three have been proved to cause major health risks for people and pose greater danger to environment through e–waste, given their ability to combine
with other elements to create toxic components[footnoteRef:1]. It has been noticed that considering PVC, it is even harder to recycle the materials
in a safe manner majorly because it is not cost effective and is probably why Microsoft has yet not been able to phase it out of their supply chain.
NGOs such as Greenpeace have confirmed that electrical waste by Microsoft and major corporations is illegally disposed off, often shipped to
developing countries where regulations are less strict and technology is not very advanced to properly dispose the materials, which is leading to mass

Advantages And Cons And Disadvantages Of 360 Degree...
I interviewed the human resource team member, Sonya, who is assigned to my department at work. She was involved with or conducted 360
degree appraisals up until roughly six months ago when she started with the current company. I spoke with Sonya about what exactly she
considered a 360 degree appraisal. She told me that customarily nearly all of the information covered in the performance area is leadership,
teamwork, communication skills, and adaptability to new situations or last minute assignments. While we were talking about this she did go over
some of the differences between 180 degree appraisals and the 360 degree ones. One of the main differences that she pointed out is that 360
degree involves customer feedback that goes along with the leaders and teammates. Sonya did have some mixed feeling regarding 360 degree
appraisals and feedback, in which will be discussed later, nonetheless Sonya feels that if done correctly, they can provide excellent feedback as well
as being motivating for all employees. One point that was noted is that she feels there actually is no perfect process for appraisals and that every
company needs to look at their individual requirements when determining the best way to receive and give feedback. When conducting 360 degree
appraisals she also is partial to having some competency– based job evaluations. Advantages of 360 Degree Appraisals Sonya feels that the advantages
of 360 degree appraisals do outweigh the disadvantages for many companies. One of the core advantages that she brought up was the fact that a
leader cannot be on site 24/7 to observe every person. When you have multiple individuals who are able to provide feedback it allows the leader or
HR representative providing the feedback to understand if there are differences in how employees act when the leader is around versus when the
leader is not around. Sonya stated that she saw it many times where the leader would say how well an employee was doing but the employees
coworkers would come back with a different evaluation and after looking into it some the employee was basically putting on a show for the leader.

In the third paragraph I realized that the narrator is the same girl in the story. The second sentence says, "The only thing was that the sky had a

could think of" (358). The sky is "glassy" now because she is dead and that is why she did not remember it. The narrator is on the other side of that
"glassy sky" telling the story of "the first time she knew" (359). As she walked along she noticed that the road leading to her house had been
poorly widened too. The narrator states that as she approached the old stones that allowed a walkway to the house "her heart began to beat" (359).

piece of technology with us. Without the device, or cellphone, that we have with us most of the day, we couldn't remember numbers, look up

the more they have to fight to stay focused on long pieces of writing."(Carr, 315). This quote from "Is Google Making Us Stupid?" gives us an idea
on how the internet really changes our habits. Our minds go from being able to concentrate and thinking through problems to relying on google to find

the above scenario, there might be cases of biases among the top official; some feel that they do not want to fail each other. Though themanagement has

During our performance reviews, feedback was solicited from many entities in which we directly worked with. These individuals commented on

greater developmental areas for employees when using this approach because more and more people participate in the feedback process. Another
advantage of the 360 degree feedback system is that is promotes team development (Heathfield, 2018). Thereby, this process helps team members learn

Compliance 360 also assists in HITECH compliance by providing automated assessments and responses to electronic health information (SAI Global,

becoming overly intrusive in hospital actions. Compliance 360 merely acts as an additional unbiased oversight system, when dealing with patient
information.
Health Finance & Revenue Cycles Many health care organizations have issues keeping track of contracts and as a result lose control of monetary
outflow. Compliance 360 mitigates this loss of control through the maintenance of contracts through a central portal (SAI Global, 2018). For money
managers, this feature is incredibly valuable and allows the organization to control spending through reductions in redundant services.

360 Degree Feedback Survey
"360 degree feedback is a method and a tool that provides each employee the opportunity to receive performance feedback from his or her
supervisor and four to eight peers, reporting staff members, coworkers and customers" (Susan M. Heathfield. N/A). X amount of people will fill up
an anonymous online or paper feedback form that holds questions with a wide range of workplace capabilities. These forms include questions which
are measured on a rating scale and ask to provide comments. The person who is receiving feedback also has to fill out a self–evaluating survey which
includes the same survey questions that others receive in their forms. 360 degree feedback survey can be used in order to understand managers/leaders
strengths and weaknesses. The 360 degree feedback system can be used to formulate a tabulated form, from where the manager/leader can obtain
critical information from him–/herself in order to create a development plan. As the person who receives the feedback is asked to fill out a
self–evaluating survey, his responses will be always com–bined with other people's responses, in order to achieve more accurate knowledge for the

More so, 360 degree feedback processes are usually unnamed in regards to the raters providing feedback and thus employees receiving the
feedback have no aid if they want to further understand the reasoning behind the feedback. Moreover, they have no one to ask for explanation about
vague and obscure comments or for more information about particular ratings and their rationale. Second, this feedback system focuses heavily on
the negatives and weaknesses more so than strengths and positive aspects of the employees behaviors, performance, and actions (Heathfield, 2018).
Third, a pivotal disadvantage of the 360 degree feedback systems is that there could be much lack of rater experience and ineffectiveness. More so, a
disadvantage to this system is that organizations do not provide adequate and sufficient training in regards to the methods in which to provide and
receive feedback, thus this can cause for the many ways in which raters go wrong (Heathfield, 2018). Certainly, raters may inflate ratings to make an
employee look good or they may deflate ratings to make an individual look bad. According to Heathfield (2018) all the more, raters may simply get

With their hope of being rescued gone, their first thought was probably that they were meant to drown, and that the water was the instrument that
would be used by Fate to bring them to their destiny. Of the four men, the captain was the only person who could not help row the boat because of
his injury. In the beginning, he was described as being temporarily consumed by "profound dejection and indifference" (NA, 357) while directing
his shipmates with a voice that was "deep with mourning...of a quality beyond oration or tears" (NA, 357). Like a general of a losing army, the
captain felt as if the sea had been something that had defeated him. As a true leader, he nevertheless continued to encourage and guide his men in
"the same steady voice" (NA, 367) and maintained a sense of order and peace on the boat. The captain knew and respected the sea's power, but he
also saw the waters as a mission through which he was responsible for guiding his men, and that he had to persevere even if others gave up. Their
attitude towards the sea again changed when they became overwhelmed by physical pain and fatigue. When the correspondent saw a shark during the

Cognitive Psychology Definition Paper Introduction Cognitive Psychology/PSY360 Cognitive Psychology Definition Paper Cognitive psychology is
the study of mental processes surrounding learning, memory, perception, and thought. Though it is still a relatively new formal branch of psychology,
its roots extend back to Descartes who sought a way to explain how the mind worked, proposing the analogy of a "hydraulic system of nerve function"
(Willingham, 2007, p. 26) after he observed animated statues in Saint–Germain–en–Laye. It has been the restless pursuit of not only the idea of how
the mind works but also what exactly constituted the mind that eventually led to the foundations of cognitive theory. As psychologists examined how...

The whole of an individual's behavior is found neither by observation only or an examination of one's thoughts only, but a combination of the two. The
observance of behavior affords cognitive psychologists the ability to test and evaluate theories about behaviors and the hypotheses developed from
them. Self–reporting can present errors that can be confirmed or rejected through the use of behavioral observation tested using empirical means.
Additionally, cognitive psychologists cannot personally observe and measure internal mental processes but in utilizing behavioral observation, the
cognitive psychologist can arrive at logical conclusions of the existence of the behavior based on the observation of the behavior. In using the accepted
standard of behavioral procedures, cognitive psychologists are able to examine the cognitive processes thought to be the source without inferring
unproven causes (Zentall, 2002). This removes much of the subjectivity that initially made the cognitive perspective suspect. Cognitive psychology
developed the framework to test theories and further explain behavior using behavioral observation. Using the scientific method, the theory predicts
the behavior to be expected if the said theory is provable. There are several steps to take in order to this. First, develop alternative theories by having

In "A Rose for Emily" by William Faulkner, Miss Emily Grierson goes through a lot of grief. Her father and sweetheart, Homer Barron, died only
within a few years apart and this caused her whole world to be turned upside down (323–327). There is some debate as to whether Miss Emily killed
her sweetheart or not. When her father died, she was not willing to give up his body to be buried. Later, they found the body of Homer in her house
and the town had no clue he had even passed away. According to Cornell Law School, the definition of first degreemurder is the intentional killing of
another person with planning involved. Miss Emily is guilty of first degree murder because of the smell that came from her house, the poison she
purchased from the druggist, and the possibility Homer was only interested in men. At one point in the story, Faulkner writes about a smell that
accumulates from Miss Emily's house. According to the story, "two years after her father's death and a short time after her sweetheart had deserted
her is when the smell first developed" (324). The mayor received multiple complaints about the smell but he didn't want to confront Miss Emily
about it because she was a "high and mighty Grierson" (324). He just assumed that the smell was "just a rat or a snake that nigger of hers killed in

Evil And Innocence In Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales
Evil is a word that is rooted in thoughts, and actions. The concept of evil is a convoluted force. In Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales, morals are
reexamined through each tale. Chaucer discusses moral evil and its relevance to innocence, specifically in the Pardoner's Tale, with the three rakes,
and in the Prioress Tale, with the young boy. The seducing of innocence to become dishonorable is evil. All things wicked start from innocence.
Innocence is beautiful. The three rakes and the young boy illustrate the most simplest form of innocence which reserves the revelation of evil. In
the Pardoner's Tale, the three rakes insist on discovering who "smote the man's heart in two" (Chaucer 355). The murder, Death is dangerous and
the rakes courageously took this opportunity to help themselves and others from the danger. This demonstrates the rakes ability to want to improve
other people's lives while also showcasing the righteousness they contain. The murderer, Death, "shall be slain" and the three men "pledged their
word of honor to live and die for the other,/ as though each were the other's brother born" (357). Chaucer demonstrates the virtue these men have for
themselves and for each other. Although, they drink too much they still embody supportive and honorable friends. The hope that "death shall be
dead, if they catch him" (357) depicts the beauty in their hopes and innocence. The beauty of the widow's son, seven years of age, in the Prioress
Tale, paints the unknown virtue during the walk to and from school. The mother has always teaches her son "to worship our blissful Lady,/ Christ's
dear Mother, and he did not forget it" (373). Chaucer proves that innocent children "will always learn quickly" (373). The young child studies his
book and he heard the Alma redemptoris being sung. The young child innocent and interested, "listened to the words and notes/ until he knew the first
verse all by heart" (373). However, the innocent boy does "not at all what this Latin meant,/since he was of so young and tender an age" (375).

360 Peer Review

  • 1. 360 Peer Review While reflecting on my time at the Chief Petty Officer's Academy (CPOA), three elements of learning most impacted my persona and changed me as a leader. These elements of learning include both class room presentations and personal interactions with fellow attendees. The three elements of learning that will be discussed in this paper are 360 peer review report, understanding generational gaps, and recognition that everyone has different experiences within the mess. Each element has changed how I view the Coast Guard and will shape my future interactions with others. The first element of learning that impacted me was that of the 360 peer review. I feared and most anticipated this section because I value the constructive feedback I knew it would give. I sent the survey to a mix of people, but more favored members in which I was in a supervisor role while they were experiencing a personal hardship. Therefore I was unsure of the response I would receive, but valued the input I receive. It was great to know that I ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... This presentation was interesting to me because I have done my own studies on the subject in order to become a better leader and father. The most interesting aspect of the conversation was the input from others in the class. It was nice to know that others were feeling the same way that I was when attempting to relate to the up and coming generation. My roommate put it best to me in the form of an analogy; a professional coach in sports does not ask their players to conform to their rule, they conform to what works for the players. This analogy helped me understand that I need to be more open to changing to my crew, other than requiring my crew to change to my style. The end goal is to complete the mission, just like a sports team if to win the game. We must work together and achieve the same goal. I found this same concept valuable when working within the Chiefs ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 2. Shakespeare And 360 Comparison Since the Shakespearean era, texts and novels have gradually declined in complexity from the deep yet sophisticated standards set by Shakespeare himself. 2014 may in fact experience yet another lyrical genius through the work of a new rapper sensation Matthew James Colwell better known by his stage name 360, writes Aidan Sparshott. What is the difference? Many people believe that rap and the lyrics are the new version redefining the play house but at the same time a minority say both musical categories are not similar. I believe they are wrong. Rap is seen to be sweeping the world by storm replacing the common and classical procedure of theatrical performances. But how could 360 possibly be regarded in some instances as the new Shakespeare... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Shakespeare reached this understanding as well, many of his plays using death as the resolution to a problem. From this meaning we see that Cowell has successfully achieved and understanding of the human condition, also understood by Shakespeare, condemning us to believe that the language is celebrated by this. However in the same instance, the English language is somewhat belittled with words like 'gotta', derivatives of actual words, becoming part of our spoken language. This is due to colloquialism and the adaption of old language into new and more usable speech for the working class person, the line between celebrating and denigrating the language becomes blurry. Ontological, metaphysical &phenomenological are all appropriate words to describe how Shakespeare wrote. Many rappers including 360 write with deep and philosophical meanings behind each verse. Colwell produces torrential amounts of sugary pop production, but with honest and unflinching lyrics which leaves lasting impression on listeners. A large per cent of songs released these days denigrate the language Shakespeare worked tirelessly to improve. However as these songs verge on the line between good and bad, Cowells writing continues to grow, helping to celebrate the language. Fathers pass their knowledge onto the next generation in a hope to maintain their legacy. Just like our ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

The choice can become even more overwhelming as technology marches on relentlessly and consoles seem to change as quickly as you can turn around, so if you are having some trouble making a choice, here are some thoughts that might just help you out. The average lifespan, it is estimated, of a games console is about five years. That is not to say that your still working gaming equipment will suddenly and inexplicably combust after a five year period, rather that at about that time, manufacturers typically introduce a more technologically advanced version of their former console. If being at the cutting edge of technology is important to you, then purchasing a console at the start of this standard five–year period is a wise move. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

Originally dubbed the "DirectX Box," the console was intended to be the first game system built like a PC and to bring all of the flexibility and power of a gaming rig to the console market. The system would run on Windows 2000, making it easy for traditional PC software developers to work within the console's architecture, and feature more than twice the processing power of the industry–leading PlayStation 2. Despite the marketing team's belief that the abbreviated "Xbox" name wouldn't fly, the label went over well with focus groups, providing the company with one of the final elements it needed to pull back the curtain on its creation: a catchy name. Just two years later, Microsoft was ready to go public with its console, and that's exactly what Bill Gates did at the Game Developers Conference on March 10, 2000. Teasing the system's vastly improved specs and the potential for both online play and internal storage of downloaded content – whether games or media – Gates managed to get the world's attention, though many remained skeptical of what they saw as nothing more than a fancy PC dressed up like a gaming console.Nearly a full year later, Bill Gates – with help from Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson – revealed the final design of the Xbox at the 2001 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, along with the system's official release date.

  • 5. Xbox 360 Supply Chain Case Study Global Supply Chain Design Case Study Evolution of the Xbox Supply Chain 2012 Evolution of the Xbox Supply Chain 1.) What supply chain changes did Microsoft make between the Xbox and the Xbox 360? What was the motivation for these changes? When Microsoft first entered the market with the release of the Xbox in 2001 it was a newcomer in the console business. The company had neither an established brand presence in this area, nor did it have a developed base of games and gamers in the market, such as Sony. Therefore, the primary purpose of introducing the Xbox was to establish Microsoft in the market, to develop a brand presence, gain acceptance among gamers and to prepare the way for future products. Therefore, Microsoft's ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... However, when Microsoft started the development of its next generation console– the Xbox 360– it recognized the deficits and problems related to its initial strategy: the company was operating under too high costs in order to assure high product availability which was not the critical factor in this business. The nature of the console business is about providing the customer with a cheap hardware and a variety of games, in order to generate profits from games sales. Additionally, the first Xbox was released one year behind Sony's PS2, Microsoft's biggest competitor in the market. This delay resulted in a substantial loss of sales and consequently reduced game sales. Therefore, Microsoft learned that the Xbox 360 had to be launched ahead of Sony's PS3. Accordingly, one relevant part of Microsoft's new strategy was the "first–to–market" approach. Another essential change in Microsoft's business strategy concerned its cost structure in the Xbox supply chain. Whereas the initial strategy focused heavily on reliability, Microsoft changed its strategy to achieving reduced costs and increased profitability. Additionally, the company insisted on owning the design of critical components, such as the microprocessor and the graphics chip, in order to "control its own destiny". Therefore, the supply chain network needed to be redesigned in order to support Microsoft's strategic shift. So as to reach the desired cost

  • 9. Representation of Society in Euripides' Medea Essay Representation of Society in Euripides' Medea During the time of Euripides, approximately the second half of the fifth century B.C., it was a period of immense cultural crisis and political convulsion (Arrowsmith 350). Euripides, like many other of his contemporaries, used the whole machinery of the theater as a way of thinking about their world (Arrowsmith 349). His interest in particular was the analysis of culture and relationship between culture and the individual. Euripides used his characters as a function to shape the ideas of the play (Arrowsmith 359). In Medea, there was not a "traditional" hero, but a fragmentation between the two paired major characters, which is characteristic of Euripides' work (Arrowsmith 356). Jason ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Euripides was interested in how culture affected things. He was not the typical writer and his characters confirm this. In Medea, Euripides wanted his characters to participate in a culture that was under extreme stress, perhaps the same stress that his culture was experiencing. He exhibited this by writing as if his characters were transplanted into a different culture, unique from their own, as if to use the unfamiliarity as psychological strain. Therefore the strain would immortalize or distort them. The way in which Medea meditates the murder of her children is much admired, however Euripides' interest is in the collapse or derangement of culture that makes the murder both possible and necessary (Arrowsmith 357). Euripides sends the message through his characters that human character is altered by suffering. During the pressures of war when humans are subject to harsh necessity, human nature has a new range of behaviors, chaotic and uncontrollable. Behind Jason and Medea Euripides wanted the audience to see that the spreading of expedience and revenge, when unchecked by culture or religion, would bring about the Peloponnesian War (Arrowsmith 361). Superficially, Medea is a critique of relations between men and women, the struggle between Jason and Medea; then the struggle between Creon and Medea. However at the deeper level, Medea is a critique of the quality and state of the contemporary culture of Euripides (Arrowsmith 361). The unique symbolism is that ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 12. Xbox 360 History Many people have heard of Microsoft. Many people have also heard of their product known as Windows. Windows is a computer operating system. Even though Microsoft only worked on computers, they released their first ever video game console known as the Xbox in late 2001. The Xbox had newer, upgraded versions of the console later on such as the Xbox 360 in 2005 and the Xbox One in 2013. The idea of the Xbox first started when Kevin Bachus, Seamus Blackley, Otto Berkes, and Ted Hase were working on developing the DirectX. The DirectX was a set of API's (application programming interfaces) that was introduced by Microsoft in 1995 which encouraged videogame developers to embrace their Windows operating system. These men approached Bill ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... This was good, however, it had some consequences. When the Xbox 360 was released as quickly as possible, huge, technical problems with the console caused Microsoft to replace or repair most of the consoles. This made video game designers learn valuable lessons about taking time with their products (Lasky). There were many different designs of the Xbox 360, such as the Pro, Premium, Elite, and Arcade (Loguidice). There are two current Xbox 360 S (slim) models which are the Xbox 360 250GB and the Xbox 360 4GB. These models are similar because they both include 5 USB (universal serial bus) 2.0. ports and a custom port for the Kinect sensor. They also have optical digital audio with built in WiFi (Loguidice). "They also are sleeker, smaller, and run quieter and cooler than their predecessors" ( Loguidice). The Xbox 360 4GB and the Xbox 360 250GB are also different. The Xbox 360 4GB (as the name implies) has 4GB of storage. This is enough for playing physical copies of games, but not for downloaded games. A hard drive can be purchased to get more space though. This model also costs $100 less than the Xbox 360 250GB.

The largest part of the market's recent growth (from 2005 to the present) is undeniably due in part to the video game console created by Microsoft called the Xbox 360. Microsoft was the first company to release what is called the "current generation" console, and successfully beat Sony out of the gate.

(Internet Movie Database) The film Avatar earned $760 million within three years, and Titanic earned $658 million within six years, all of which are comprised of film earnings at the box office and home video recordings like DVD or Blu–ray. The technology created by Microsoft for their Xbox 360 is the first of its kind. A perfect example is a device called the Kinect. This device utilizes a microphone and multiple cameras to enhance gamers' experience, especially for game titles like Dance Central. Kinect utilizes motion detection in order to spot interaction and display it on the screen accordingly. Another function for the device is voice recognition. Rather than using a controller, the player can simply speak the commands and the Xbox will do the said action.

The importance of purchasing gaming consoles and gadgets from brands that focus on environment friendly assembling of components and recycling has been discussed in the report submitted by group 16, with constant criticism given to Microsoft regarding it?s usage of harmeful materials such as brominated flame retardants(BFRs), PVC plastic and phthalates being done in order to make several components of the much hyped gaming console xbox 360. All three have been proved to cause major health risks for people and pose greater danger to environment through e–waste, given their ability to combine with other elements to create toxic components[footnoteRef:1]. It has been noticed that considering PVC, it is even harder to recycle the materials in a safe manner majorly because it is not cost effective and is probably why Microsoft has yet not been able to phase it out of their supply chain. NGOs such as Greenpeace have confirmed that electrical waste by Microsoft and major corporations is illegally disposed off, often shipped to developing countries where regulations are less strict and technology is not very advanced to properly dispose the materials, which is leading to mass air and water pollution[footnoteRef:2].

She was involved with or conducted 360 degree appraisals up until roughly six months ago when she started with the current company. I spoke with Sonya about what exactly she considered a 360 degree appraisal. She told me that customarily nearly all of the information covered in the performance area is leadership, teamwork, communication skills, and adaptability to new situations or last minute assignments. While we were talking about this she did go over some of the differences between 180 degree appraisals and the 360 degree ones. One of the main differences that she pointed out is that 360 degree involves customer feedback that goes along with the leaders and teammates. Sonya did have some mixed feeling regarding 360 degree appraisals and feedback, in which will be discussed later, nonetheless Sonya feels that if done correctly, they can provide excellent feedback as well as being motivating for all employees. One point that was noted is that she feels there actually is no perfect process for appraisals and that every company needs to look at their individual requirements when determining the best way to receive and give feedback. When conducting 360 degree appraisals she also is partial to having some competency– based job evaluations. Advantages of 360 Degree Appraisals Sonya feels that the advantages of 360 degree appraisals do outweigh the disadvantages for many companies. One of the core advantages that she brought up was the fact that a leader cannot be on site 24/7 to observe every person. When you have multiple individuals who are able to provide feedback it allows the leader or HR representative providing the feedback to understand if there are differences in how employees act when the leader is around versus when the leader is not around. Sonya stated that she saw it many times where the leader would say how well an employee was doing but the employees coworkers would come back with a different evaluation and after looking into it some the employee was basically putting on a show for the leader.

In the beginning, he was described as being temporarily consumed by "profound dejection and indifference" (NA, 357) while directing his shipmates with a voice that was "deep with mourning...of a quality beyond oration or tears" (NA, 357). Like a general of a losing army, the captain felt as if the sea had been something that had defeated him. As a true leader, he nevertheless continued to encourage and guide his men in "the same steady voice" (NA, 367) and maintained a sense of order and peace on the boat. The captain knew and respected the sea's power, but he also saw the waters as a mission through which he was responsible for guiding his men, and that he had to persevere even if others gave up. Their attitude towards the sea again changed when they became overwhelmed by physical pain and fatigue. When the correspondent saw a shark during the night, it did not terrify him, but it did send into him a degree of fear. As they became more exhausted, their fear of death, and therefore the sea, diminished. As the men were swimming to shore, the correspondent saw that none of them were afraid, and he understood himself how ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 35. psy 360 Cognitive Psychology Definition Paper Introduction Cognitive Psychology/PSY360 Cognitive Psychology Definition Paper Cognitive psychology is the study of mental processes surrounding learning, memory, perception, and thought. Though it is still a relatively new formal branch of psychology, its roots extend back to Descartes who sought a way to explain how the mind worked, proposing the analogy of a "hydraulic system of nerve function" (Willingham, 2007, p. 26) after he observed animated statues in Saint–Germain–en–Laye. It has been the restless pursuit of not only the idea of how the mind works but also what exactly constituted the mind that eventually led to the foundations of cognitive theory. As psychologists examined how... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The whole of an individual's behavior is found neither by observation only or an examination of one's thoughts only, but a combination of the two. The observance of behavior affords cognitive psychologists the ability to test and evaluate theories about behaviors and the hypotheses developed from them. Self–reporting can present errors that can be confirmed or rejected through the use of behavioral observation tested using empirical means. Additionally, cognitive psychologists cannot personally observe and measure internal mental processes but in utilizing behavioral observation, the cognitive psychologist can arrive at logical conclusions of the existence of the behavior based on the observation of the behavior. In using the accepted standard of behavioral procedures, cognitive psychologists are able to examine the cognitive processes thought to be the source without inferring unproven causes (Zentall, 2002). This removes much of the subjectivity that initially made the cognitive perspective suspect. Cognitive psychology developed the framework to test theories and further explain behavior using behavioral observation. Using the scientific method, the theory predicts the behavior to be expected if the said theory is provable. There are several steps to take in order to this. First, develop alternative theories by having at least two possibilities to select from when ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 36. Analysis Of Miss Emily Grierson In A Rose For Emily By... In "A Rose for Emily" by William Faulkner, Miss Emily Grierson goes through a lot of grief. Her father and sweetheart, Homer Barron, died only within a few years apart and this caused her whole world to be turned upside down (323–327). There is some debate as to whether Miss Emily killed her sweetheart or not. When her father died, she was not willing to give up his body to be buried. Later, they found the body of Homer in her house and the town had no clue he had even passed away. According to Cornell Law School, the definition of first degreemurder is the intentional killing of another person with planning involved. Miss Emily is guilty of first degree murder because of the smell that came from her house, the poison she purchased from the druggist, and the possibility Homer was only interested in men. At one point in the story, Faulkner writes about a smell that accumulates from Miss Emily's house. According to the story, "two years after her father's death and a short time after her sweetheart had deserted her is when the smell first developed" (324). The mayor received multiple complaints about the smell but he didn't want to confront Miss Emily about it because she was a "high and mighty Grierson" (324). He just assumed that the smell was "just a rat or a snake that nigger of hers killed in the yard" (324). The smell could be a sign of guilt because Miss Emily had to know that Homer's body was creating an intense odor. She had to know because she was living in the ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 37. Evil And Innocence In Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales Evil is a word that is rooted in thoughts, and actions. The concept of evil is a convoluted force. In Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales, morals are reexamined through each tale. Chaucer discusses moral evil and its relevance to innocence, specifically in the Pardoner's Tale, with the three rakes, and in the Prioress Tale, with the young boy. The seducing of innocence to become dishonorable is evil. All things wicked start from innocence. Innocence is beautiful. The three rakes and the young boy illustrate the most simplest form of innocence which reserves the revelation of evil. In the Pardoner's Tale, the three rakes insist on discovering who "smote the man's heart in two" (Chaucer 355). The murder, Death is dangerous and the rakes courageously took this opportunity to help themselves and others from the danger. This demonstrates the rakes ability to want to improve other people's lives while also showcasing the righteousness they contain. The murderer, Death, "shall be slain" and the three men "pledged their word of honor to live and die for the other,/ as though each were the other's brother born" (357). Chaucer demonstrates the virtue these men have for themselves and for each other. Although, they drink too much they still embody supportive and honorable friends. The hope that "death shall be dead, if they catch him" (357) depicts the beauty in their hopes and innocence. The beauty of the widow's son, seven years of age, in the Prioress Tale, paints the unknown virtue during the walk to and from school. The mother has always teaches her son "to worship our blissful Lady,/ Christ's dear Mother, and he did not forget it" (373). Chaucer proves that innocent children "will always learn quickly" (373). The young child studies his book and he heard the Alma redemptoris being sung. The young child innocent and interested, "listened to the words and notes/ until he knew the first verse all by heart" (373). However, the innocent boy does "not at all what this Latin meant,/since he was of so young and tender an age" (375). Chaucer makes known that this young boy is intelligent and innocent as he listens to his mother and is curious for his age. The innocence in the rakes and the young boy is beautiful and tender, ...
