Duke habitat spring break 2013 presentationWilliam Chong
The document describes a Duke Habitat spring break trip to Pocahontas County, West Virginia from March 10-15, 2013. The trip will involve building houses with Almost Heaven Habitat for Humanity in Pocahontas County, which has a high average elevation and many hiking/biking trails but lower median incomes. There are only 16 spots available for students, and the estimated total cost is $100-150 per student, though fundraising will help cover costs. Applications are due by December 16 and involve fun questions to help organizers learn about applicants.
Writing involves a 5-step process: 1) Prewriting where you brainstorm and organize, 2) Drafting a first copy, 3) Editing for punctuation, capitalization and sentences, 4) Proofreading to check it makes sense, and 5) Creating a final copy that is neat and beautiful. The document provides an example of applying the writing process steps to a paragraph about cats coming in different colors.

The State of Hawaii has made significant progress toward achieving its Renewable Portfolio Standard goals. By 2010, 20.32% of electricity sold statewide came from renewable sources, meeting the 10% RPS requirement. Distributed renewable energy systems increased rapidly from 2006-2010. Hawaii generates more electricity from renewable sources than the national average. The state has aligned policies to encourage renewable development and over 75 projects are proposed. Hawaii ranks second nationally in installed solar capacity per capita. Key accomplishments in 2011 include assisting renewable projects, coordinating a smart grid demonstration project, and participating in biofuels development initiatives.

Bill gates of micro soft roles
1. BILL GATES OF MICROSOFT
Roles=William Henry Gates III (born 28 October 1955) is an
American entrepreneur, software executive, philanthropist and
chairman of Microsoft, the software company he founded with Paul
Allen. During his career at Microsoft he has held the positions of CEO
and chief software architect, and he remains the largest individual
shareholder with more than 9 percent of the common stock .
From Microsoft's founding in 1975 until 2006, Gates had primary responsibility for the
company's product strategy. He aggressively broadened the company's range of products,
and wherever Microsoft achieved a dominant position he vigorously defended it. He
gained a reputation for being distant to others.
Gates's role at Microsoft for most of its history was primarily a management and
executive role. However, he was an active software developer in the early years,
particularly on the company's programming language products. He has not officially been
on a development team since working on the TRS-80 Model 100,[52] but wrote code as
late as 1989 that shipped in the company's products.[50] On June 15, 2006, Gates
announced that he would transition out of his day-to-day role over the next two years to
dedicate more time to philanthropy. He divided his responsibilities between two
successors, placing Ray Ozzie in charge of day-to-day management and Craig Mundie in
charge of long-term product strategy.[53]
Skills=Gates is one of the best-known entrepreneurs of the personal
computer revolution. Although he is admired by many, a large minority of industry
insiders criticize his business tactics, which they consider as anti-competitive.
Gates also knows how to run his company properly as it applies to employees,
communication, organization, and decision-making. He is a good judge of people and
what they can do. Perhaps his most important decision as far as getting the right people
was to partner with Paul Allen, who formed a nearly invincible duo with Gates. Another
of the most important people he chose to have on the Microsoft team is Steve Ballmer,
who has been involved with the company since 1980, and who Gates has so much faith
in, that he relinquished the CEO position to Blamer in 2000. (Gates is currently the
Chairman and “Chief Software Architect” of the company)
Gates has once said, “It’s important to have someone who you totally trust, who is totally
committed, who shares your vision, and yet who has a little bit different set of skills and
who also acts as something of a check on you. Some of the ideas you run by him, you
know he’s going to say, ‘Hey, wait a minute, have you thought about this and that?’ The
2. benefit of sparking off somebody who’s got that kind of brilliance is that it not only
makes business more fun, but it really leads to a lot of success.”
Throughout the company, Gates has taken great care to fill Microsoft with the right
people, including many of the best programmers in the industry. He always looks for the
most suitable, creative, and brilliant individuals to recruit, and generally prefers those
who are inexperienced at working in corporate America. He also prefers yang people, and
has said, “Young people are more willing to learn, and come up with new ideas.” He
often hires employees straight out of college.
Gates is also careful not to hire the wrong people—which to him would be the people
who do not work, are mediocre, lackadaisical, and are for the most part only concerned
with getting by. Gates realizes that these kinds of employees are difficult to weed out and
eliminate, and can take the place of someone better that can be part of Microsoft. And
Gates is strict in not hiring too many people. He believes its better to hire too few than
too many.
As for those that Gates does employ, he creates the right environment for them. Most
integral in this is the way that he compensates them. Throughout its history, Microsoft
has been known for paying low salaries and high stock options, thus ensuring that
employees would be concerned with the actual results that Microsoft would produce.
Many of his employees have reaped millions this way, and it has spurned employees to
remain motivated to produce the great results that Microsoft has achieved year in and
year out throughout its stellar history
Failur or Success Stories=In February 1976, Gates wrote an
Open Letter to Hobbyists in the MITS newsletter saying that MITS could not continue to
produce, distribute, and maintain high-quality software without payment.The Open
Letter to Hobbyists was an open letter written by Bill Gates, the co-founder of
Microsoft, to early personal computer hobbyists, in which Gates expresses dismay at the
rampant copyright infringement of software taking place in the hobbyist community,
particularly with regard to his company's software.
In the letter, Gates expressed frustration with most computer hobbyists who were using
his company's Altair BASIC software without having paid for it. He asserted that such
widespread unauthorized copying in effect discourages developers from investing time
and money in creating high-quality software. He cited the unfairness of gaining the
benefits of software authors' time, effort, and capital without paying them.
This letter was unpopular with many computer hobbyists, but Gates persisted in his belief
that software developers should be able to demand payment. Microsoft became
independent of MITS in late 1976, and it continued to develop programming language
software for various systems.[36] The company moved from Albuquerque to its new home
in Bellevue, Washington on January 1, 1979.
3. Bill gates receives THE 2010 BOWER AWARD FOR BUSINESS LEADERSHIP for
leading a company that has modeled the current software industry, for defining the way
the world interact with personal computers, and for his generous philanthropy
There is no doubt that Bill Gates is a successful businessman-but he is much more than
that. A modern icon of technologist, as well as an entrepreneur, Gates has had, through
his company Microsoft, more impact on personal computing than perhaps any other
person. His software not only powers the bulk of personal computers-nearly every
desktop computer has at least one Microsoft product on it. Microsoft impact has now
moved on to smart phones, electronic hand-held devices and numerous multimedia
system.
In hindsight, Gates’ early failures seem so miniscule that they are almost
laughable. But, as a struggling entrepreneur, he went through the same
frustration, confusion and despair that others in his situation also face.What
distinguishes Gates from the rest was his ability to rebound from his
mistakes and take whatever lessons he could from them. He then became
even more resolute and determined to see his vision realize.

Example of effective decision making=
In the 1990s, for example, Microsoft CEO Bill Gates made the strategic choice to bet the
future of his company on the internet, redeploying the lion’s share of resources from such
5. priorities as CD ROM contents. Families, too, are faced with strategic choices that set
direction and have long-term consequences. Decision such as where to live, where to
work, and where to go to school mark pivotal moments in our live.
In Microsoft history, at the head of all of this organization has been Bill Gates. Gates has
been the key person in the decisions of importance and heading the direction of the
company. He has headed technology, and has been focused on Microsoft’s products. He
has made most of the final says and strategations, figures out what is most important.
And although he did give Steve Blamer control of the CEO position, he still remains one
of the key people in the most important matters the company encounters.
Gates is a masterful strategist. He seizes opportunities, presses and multiplies his
advantages, leverages his positions, understands and adapts to change, exercises foresight
but realizes his predictions might not always be accurate, anticipates and prepares for the
future, puts himself in situations where he will be at the right place at right time, and
assesses risk-reward ratios.
He is very difficult to defeat, and rarely misses an opportunity to defeat others. He sees
the immediate but also keeps a look on the long term and far way. He capitalizes on the
mistakes of others. He is willing to take on the big companies, and is eager to exploit
their shortcomings and weaknesses. He did this when he first went into business and was
fully aware that IBM was ready to be taken apart by a keen observer like himself—a man
who IBM probably underestimated as being just a young naïve computer programmer,
but turned out to be the most astute and savvy person of all, anticipating and adapting to
things that the mammoth IBM corporation was caught almost completely off-guard on
Gates wants to win, he loves to win, he hates to lose, and he makes winning a habit. He is
tough and even vicious. Stewart Alsop, editor of PC Leter, said, “Gates is tenacious.
That’s what’s scary… he always comes back, like Chinese water torture. His form of
entertainment is tearing people to shreds.” Gates is willing to crush competition, but he is
also willing to ally with others when it is too his advantage. He is willing to be the bad
guy if necessary. But even though he sometimes creates enemies and has grudges, he
does not become too adamant in maintaining the grudges, and he always pursues what is
best, even if he has to align with someone he formerly held a grudge against.
He is an objective assessor. He has said, “You have to be careful, if you’re good at
something, to make sure you don’t think you’re good at other things that you aren’t
necessarily so good at.”
He is always looking out for the next big thing.
He manages and utilizes his time well. He realizes that time used for one thing can be
used for something better
