Claude McKay Outline
I. Introduction
A. Background: For every literary period, there is always a group of writers that define it. When it comes to the Harlem Renaissance, a period that characterized eruption of activities among the African Americans in almost every art field, Claude McKay was the unquestioned leader. Born in 1889, in Sunny Ville, Jamaica, McKay went to become a novelist and a poet known in Britain, USA, and his home land. At the age of seventeen, McKay started writing poems with the influence of his brother, Theophilus. Theophilus was a school teacher in Jamaica, therefore was interested in literature. At a young age, Theophilus helped McKay to develop an interest in the British literature. Claude McKay started receiving mentorship from Walter Jekyll, an Englishman from Jamaica. Jekyll encouraged McKay to write dialect verses. Later on in 1912, McKay immigrated to USA, establishing himself as a renowned poet. He went on to publish Songs of Jamaica, Constab Ballads and two volumes of dialect verse.
B. Transition to Thesis: After his immigration to the United States of America, McKay started to experience things that he did not expect. McKay had not experienced racism until he joined the Tuskegee Institute to study agronomy. America’s racism sparked the fire in McKay to write even more, talking real issues and letting his readers understand what was happening and getting to their guts. He then moved to New York and invested in a restaurant. He married Eulalie Imelda Lewars. McKay published two poems there before he gained recognition as a lyric poet from Frank Harris, an editor at Pearson’s magazine. The Liberator’s editor Max Eastman also recognized him. Throughout his life, McKay was keen to make sure that he addressed the issues that were in the society.
C. Thesis Statement: Claude McKay was an influential poet that was best in addressing real life issues from the Harlem Renaissance period.
II. Significance to New York City
McKay was Voice to the people of Harlem
McKay had a famous voice to the rights of the African Americans in America. During his time, the situation for the blacks was tough and dangerous. The African Americans at that time who dared to oppose discrimination ended up suffering at the hands of the police. The African Americans had no choice but to live in fear of speaking the truth as it was and facing the real life. They, as a result, decide to play down their feeling and thoughts. McKay gave the people of Harlem a helping hand to break from their cocoon. He gave the people a voice, inspired them to go for their rights.
McKay helped in the Cultural Identity of the black people
McKay raised the consciousness of the need to reflect on the issues that affect the African Americans in USA. He attracted the attention of researchers and people in academia to explore the unique problems that the African Americans faced.

Chapter 12 Reflection
Charles Grandison Finney – an evangelistic Presbyterian minister who became the most influential revival leader of the 1820s and 1830s.
Frederick Douglass – the greatest African American of all – and one of the most electrifying orators of his time, black or white – was Frederick Douglass. Born a slave in Maryland, Douglass escaped to Massachusetts in 1838, became an outspoken leader of anti-slavery sentiment. On his return to the United States in 1847, Douglass purchased his freedom from his Maryland owner and founded an antislavery newspaper, the North Star, in Rochester, New York. Douglass demanded for African Americans not only freedom but full social and economic social equality as well.
Henry David Thoreau – leading Concord transcendentalist. Thoreau went even further in repudiating the repressive forces of society. He produced the ideas that individuals should work for self-realization by resisting pressures to conform to society’s expectations and responding instead to their instincts. Thoreau’s own efforts to free himself – immortalized in is most famous book, Walden – led him to build a small cabin in the Concord woods on the edge of Walden Pond, where he lived alone for two years as simply as he could.
Horace Mann – the greatest of educational reformers was Horace Mann, the first secretary of the Massachusetts Board of Education, which was established in 1837. To Mann, education was the only way to “counterwork this tendency to the domination of capital and the servility of labor.” He reorganized the Massachusetts school system, lengthened the academic year (to six months, doubled teachers’ salaries, enriched the curriculum, and introduced new methods of professional training for teachers.
Joseph Smith - Mormonism began in upstate New York as a result of the efforts of Joseph Smith, a young, energetic, but economically unsuccessful man, who had spent most oh his twenty-four years moving restlessly through New England and the Northeast. In 1830, he published the Book of Mormon that told a story of an ancient and successful civilization in America, peopled by one of the lost tribes of Israel who had found their way to the New World centuries before Columbus.
Shakers – made a redefinition of traditional sexuality and gender roles central to their society and even embraced the idea of a God who was not clearly male or female.
Transcendentalism - idealistic philosophical and social movement that taught that divinity pervades all nature and humanity.
Walt Whitman - the self-proclaimed poet of American democracy, was the son of a Lon Island carpenter and lived for many years roaming from place to place, doing odd jobs, while writing poetry. In his large body of poems, Whitman not only helped liberate verse from traditional, restrictive conventions but also helped express the soaring spirit of individualisms that characterized his age.

Commentary:
Motivated by politics, a group of African-American authors became known as the
Black Arts Movement
. Preeminent in this movement was the poet Imamu Amiri Baraka. The movement stemmed from the strife following the assassination of Malcom X in 1965, and then the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1968. Those involved in the changes spreading across America, known as Black Nationalism or the
Black Power Movement
, broke into two primary branches--Revolutionary Nationalists, which included such groups as the Black Panther Party, and Cultural Nationalists, which includes the Black Arts Movement.
The expression of the Black Power Movement was evident in several ways: changes in clothing styles (dashikis, for example) adopted among several black groups, more vocal involvement in politics, and more outspoken tones in and topics of writing, speeches, and the plastic arts (sculpture and painting).
Though the Black Arts Movement began in Harlem, it quickly spread to many cities around the country. Numerous African-American magazines, publishing houses, and journals flourished during this time, such as
Negro Digest, Black World
, Third World Press,
The Black Scholar
, and Lotus Press, among others. Poetry was the predominant form of writing within this movement, but not exclusively--short stories, drama, essay, plays, and music were also key to the content of this era.
The Black Arts Movement was not without controversy. The content of its works is often cited as homophobic, exclusive, misogynistic, and anti-Semitic in favor of black identity.
The Black Arts Movement’s influence began to fade as the result of an unlikely source--success. As members such as James Baldwin, Maya Angelou, and Nikki Giovanni, among others, became popular and even wealthy as the result of the works they also became mainstream, which was an unforeseen consequence counter to the basis of the movement itself.
Recovering the History of African Americans
Attempts to recover and recognize the history of African Americans was part of the Black Power Movement. This is seen in African Americans who changed their birth names to African names. Born as Leroi Jones, Amiri Baraka, for example, changed his name in 1964. Stokely Carmichael became Kwame Ture. In Alice Walker's short story "Everyday Use," Dee returns home with the name Wangero.
Attitudes and actions that before the 1960s might have been kept private became more overt, which is evident in the essays defining the Black Arts Movement. Richard Wright's comments about African-American writers in his 1937 essay "Blueprint for Negro Writing" were no longer true. In that essay, Wright discussed black writers who "dressed in the knee-pants of servility" as they went "abegging to white America" for approval. He notes, "Negro writing was something external to the lives of educated Negroes themselves."
Instead, the arts in the 1960s were more aligned with what Du Bois wrote in 1926, when he call.

Civil Rights Leaders: Malcolm X
Malcolm X born as Malcolm Little in 1925 Omaha Nebraska will be remembered for many things, but mostly, he is remembered for being one of the most African Americans in history. He was orphaned at an early age after his father was killed and his mother placed in a mental institution. He was later arrested and imprisoned at 20 for larceny and in there he become a member of the Nation of Islam. After his parole in 1952, he was become one of the top most leaders of the organization. His name X was a name he took up while in prison to symbolize his stolen African Identity and the fact that the Nation Islam spoke of Europeans as Immoral and advocated for Black Nationalism and racial separatism pulled Malcolm to the organization. This is the same message he spoke to people while in and out of prison and it captured many people’s hearts (History, 2016).
He will be remembered for his leadership in Islam that saw the population grow from 400 to 40,000 members in a span of 10 years. He exhorted black communities to cast of Slavism by whichever means possible, violence inclusive. He was the first African American to form the Afro-American Unity organization where he spoke with so much conviction that the problem facing African-Americans in the U.S.A. was racism and not the white counter parts as many would have thought. Malcolm will be remembered for making speeches that racism should be rid of as it was the greatest foe to African-Americans and his passion for the rights of his people made his movement gain many followers and he became one of the most influential civil rights movement in history (History, 2016).

I have been reading through discussion posts and thought I might give a few suggestions. If you have been struggling, try using the ACE method. First give your ANSWER, then CITE EVIDENCE, and finally EXPLAIN how that evidence supports your answer. Here are a few examples that might help. (You do not HAVE to use this method, but if you struggling it might be helpful).
Question: What were the motivations for the colonists declaring independence against Great Britain? Why did they feel they needed to take this drastic step? What were the risks? What were the repercussions?
Answer: The colonists felt that they had exhausted all other opportunities to compromise or work with Great Britain and had no other option but to declare independence (ANSWER). They had made numerous attempts at asking for representation in Parliament to give them more fair opportunities and tax laws. They tried peacefully protesting and boycotting British goods as a way to show their dissatisfaction with the increased taxes, soldiers, and oppressive authority. They also wrote the Olive Branch Petition as a formal way to ease tensions and come to a diplomatic agreement between the colonies and Britain (CITED EVIDENCE). However, none of these efforts were successful as the British continued creating harsher restrictions and taxes, and increased the military presence in the colonies to keep rebellions down. When King George rejected the Olive Branch Petition, the Continental Congress realized they would never get their needs and demands met and decided independence was the only route that could be taken (EXPLANATION).
Question: Compare the colonization of the Spanish and the English. How were their motivations, lifestyles, and interactions with natives different from one another?
Answer: The Spanish came to the Americas looking for economic and religious opportunites. They did not come to create permanent colonies, but rather to find resources and to spread Christianity. The English were looking to create permanent settlements in the New World. Because the Spanish did not intend to stay permanently, those who came were mostly men, which explains why they ending up raping and pro-creating with natives. They also used natives for labor as part of the encomienda system, leading to a high level of negative interations between Spanish and Natives. On the other hand, the English brought women and children with them as they intended to settle and live long term in the Americas. Because they had their own women and had did not use natives for labor, they excluded the natives from their communities and had as little interactions as possible. The different goals of the Spanish and the English led to differing lifestyles of each group and explains their different relationships with Native Americans.

Mini Case
IT Planning at ModMeters4
Brian Smith, CIO of ModMeters, groaned inwardly as he listened to CEO John Johnson
wrapping up his remarks. “So our executive team thinks there are real business oppor-
tunities for us in developing these two new strategic thrusts. But before I go to the
board for final approval next month, I need to know that our IT, marketing, and sales
plans will support us all the way,” Johnson concluded.
Brian mentally calculated the impact these new initiatives would have on his orga-
nization. He had heard rumors from his boss, the COO, that something big was coming
down. He had even been asked his opinion about whether these strategies were techni-
cally doable, theoretically. But both at once? Resources—people, time, and money—were
tight, as usual. ModMeters was making a reasonable profit, but the CFO, Stan Abrams,
had always kept the lid screwed down tightly on IT spending. Brian had to fight for
every dime. How he was going to find the wherewithal to support not one but two new
strategic initiatives, he didn’t know.
The other VPs at this strategy presentation were smiling. Taking ModMeters
global from a North American operation seemed to be a logical next step for the com-
pany. Its products, metering components of all types, were highly specialized and in
great demand from such diverse customers as utility companies, manufacturers, and
a host of other industries. Originally founded as Modern Meters, the firm had grown
steadily as demand for its metering expertise and components had grown over the past
century or so. Today ModMeters was the largest producer of metering components in
the world with a full range of both mechanical and, now, digital products. Expanding
into meter assembly with plants in Asia and Eastern Europe was a good plan, thought
Brian, but he wasn’t exactly sure how he was going to get the infrastructure in place
to support it. “Many of these countries simply don’t have the telecommunications and
equipment we are going to need, and the training and new systems we have to put in
place are going to be substantial,” he said.
But it was the second strategic thrust that was going to give him nightmares, he
predicted. How on earth did they expect him to put direct-to-customer sales in place
so they could sell “green” electric meters to individual users? His attention was jerked
back to the present by a flashy new logo on an easel that the CEO had just unveiled.
“In keeping with our updated strategy, may I present our new name—MM!”
Johnson announced portentously.
“Oh, this is just great,” thought Brian. “Now I have to go into every single applica-
tion and every single document this company produces and change our name!”
Because of its age and scientific orientation, ModMeters (as he still preferred to
call it) had been in the IT business a long time. Starting back in the early 1960s, the

Case Study
: Frederick is a student at Central Fictional State University (CFSU), and he has a great idea for a new business invention. Frederick's invention and the business that he plans to found based on it will absolutely revolutionize the market and will make him very rich. He decides to share his idea with a few trusted professors, and he even uses the idea in a research project for one of his classes.
While Frederick is at home over summer break, he discovers, much to his dismay, that his professors have stolen his idea and have opened a business marketing his new invention. Frederick immediately seeks the advice of the local lawyer who has a reputation for being a "scorched-earth" litigator. He advises Frederick that he should sue “those professors for everything they've got." Frederick, however, is not sure if he should file an aggressive lawsuit, or if there is a better way to proceed.
Frederick knows that your business recently completed mediation to settle a lawsuit filed by one of your suppliers. He comes to you for advice on how to proceed. What is your answer to Frederick? In your response, consider whether the decision to file suit or to proceed through some form of alternative dispute resolution is affected by the previous relationship with the professors (can/should you sue a friend, how will the decision impact an ongoing relationship, etc.). Also, what role could Frederick’s faith play in his decision?

Building Shared Services at RR
Communications4
Vince Patton had been waiting years for this day. He pulled the papers together in front of
him and scanned the small conference room. “You’re fired,” he said to the four divisional
CIOs sitting at the table. They looked nervously at him, grinning weakly. Vince wasn’t
known to make practical jokes, but this had been a pretty good meeting, at least relative to
some they’d had over the past five years. “You’re kidding,” said Matt Dawes, one of the
more outspoken members of the divisional CIO team. “Nope,” said Vince. “I’ve got the
boss’s OK on this. We don’t need any of you anymore. I’m creating one enterprise IT orga-
nization, and there’s no room for any of you. The HR people are waiting outside.” With
that, he picked up his papers and headed to the door, leaving the four of them in shock.
“That felt good,” he admitted as he strode back to his office. A big man, not
known to tolerate fools gladly (or corporate politics), he was not a cruel one. But those
guys had been thorns in his side ever since he had taken the new executive VP of IT job
at the faltering RR Communications five years ago. The company’s stock had been in
the dumpster, and with the dramatically increased competition in the telecommunica-
tions industry as a result of deregulation, his friends and family had all thought he was
nuts. But Ross Roman, RR’s eccentric but brilliant founder, had made him an offer he
couldn’t refuse. “We need you to transform IT so that we can introduce new products
more quickly,” he’d said. “You’ll have my full backing for whatever you want to do.”
Typically for an entrepreneur, Roman had sketched the vision swiftly, leaving some-
one else to actually implement it. “We’ve got to have a more flexible and responsive IT
organization. Every time I want to do something, they tell me ‘the systems won’t allow
it.’ I’m tired of having customers complaining about getting multiple bills for each of our
products. It’s not acceptable that RR can’t create one simple little bill for each customer.”
Roman punctuated his remarks by stabbing with his finger at a file full of letters to the
president, which he insisted on reading personally each week. “You’ve got a reputation
as a ‘can do’ kind of guy; I checked. Don’t bother me with details; just get the job done.”
Vince knew he was a good, proactive IT leader, but he hadn’t been prepared
for the mess he inherited—or the politics. There was no central IT, just separate divi-
sional units for the four key lines of business—Internet, mobile, landline, and cable TV
service—each doing its own thing. Every business unit had bought its own hardware
and software, so introducing the common systems that would be needed to accomplish
Roman’s vision would be hugely difficult—that is, assuming they wanted them, which
they didn’t. There were multiple sales systems, databases, and customer service centers,
all of which led to customer and bus.

BUS 206 Milestone One Guidelines and Rubric
Overview: Business law impacts our everyday lives, both personally and professionally. Businesses enter contracts, manufacture goods, sell services and products,
and engage in employment and labor practices—activities that must all adhere to certain laws and regulations. Recognizing and evaluating legal issues is a
fundamental skill that will help you navigate commercial relationships and avoid potential problems in the business world.
Prompt: Imagine yourself as a paralegal working in a law office that has been tasked with reviewing three current cases. You will review the case studies and
compose a short report for each, applying your legal knowledge and understanding of the types of business organizations. In each of the three reports, you will
focus on areas of law covered in this course. Case Study One focuses on the legal system, criminal law, and ethics.
Case Study One: Chris, Matt, and Ian, who live in California, have decided to start a business selling an aftershave lotion called Funny Face over the internet. They
contract with Novelty Now Inc., a company based in Florida, to manufacture and distribute the product. Chris frequently meets with a representative from
Novelty Now to design the product and to plan marketing and distribution strategies. In fact, to increase the profit margin, Chris directs Novelty Now to substitute
PYR (a low-cost chemical emulsifier) for the compound in Novelty Now’s original formula. PYR is not FDA approved. Funny Face is marketed nationally on the
radio and in newspapers, as well as on the web and Facebook. Donald Margolin, a successful CEO and public speaker, buys one bottle of Funny Face over the
internet. After he uses it once, his face turns a permanent shade of blue. Donald Margolin and his company, Donald Margolin Empire Inc., file suit in the
state of New York against Novelty Now Inc. and Chris, Matt, and Ian, alleging negligence and seeking medical costs and compensation for the damage to his face
and business reputation. It is discovered that PYR caused Margolin’s skin discoloration..

: For your forum post, distinguish the way the media was utilized by terrorist organizations in the past to advance their objectives to that being employed today. Specifically address both the pre-9/11 style terrorist means of communication and influence and contrast them with the current day terrorist internet/social media based methods.
Reply to each post there are TWO of them
*150 words min each*
1. For centuries, decades, and years now terrorist organizations has used the media to spread their message across the world, reaching hundreds of thousands of people. According, to Felger and Lesinger, “The media do not create terrorism, but certain actions of the media can facilitate the achievement of the strategic goals of terrorist groups” (Felger & Lesinger, 2017). Terrorists’ organizations utilize media outlets such as local and international newspapers and television. The ultimate goal of terrorists groups is to create fear and terror in order to get their message across whether it’s for religion or political reasons. We all know that the media is a powerful tool that sometimes could be misleading. Before the creation of the Internet terrorist would use newspapers, radio stations, and even word of mouth to spread their news. As one can imagine those methods took a while to spread throughout the local community or world. In addition, the facts and small details became lost in the translation of the events that actually took place. In the past terrorists used, rebel radio stations, television, underground newspapers, flyers, posters, and other types of publications to communicate, recruit, train, as a means to spread propaganda (Hoffman, 2006, p. 199).
Terrorist organizations has always used the media to spread propaganda or their agendas, however the 9/11 attacks has forever changed how terrorist organizations utilized the media to spread their fears on a global scale. In today’s society technology has made it a lot easier for terrorist organizations to spread their word and intentions. Just about every person in the world is carrying a smartphone. Smartphones allows individuals to access media outlets at all times. Information can be passed on through smartphones in a matter of seconds. In today’s society terrorist organizations also uses social media to help spread their intentions. They also use social media platforms to recruit and post training videos. In conclusion, after reading this week’s lesson we can determine that before social media, the internet and advance technology it was a lot harder for terrorist groups to spread their intentions, however they still made it happen.
2. In our discussion this week we must analyze the way terrorist organizations “utilized” the media in the past. I specifically highlight the word “utilize” because that’s exactly what terrorist organizations did. They used the media for their own benefit. In

Civil Rights Leaders: Malcolm X
Malcolm X born as Malcolm Little in 1925 Omaha Nebraska will be remembered for many things, but mostly, he is remembered for being one of the most African Americans in history. He was orphaned at an early age after his father was killed and his mother placed in a mental institution. He was later arrested and imprisoned at 20 for larceny and in there he become a member of the Nation of Islam. After his parole in 1952, he was become one of the top most leaders of the organization. His name X was a name he took up while in prison to symbolize his stolen African Identity and the fact that the Nation Islam spoke of Europeans as Immoral and advocated for Black Nationalism and racial separatism pulled Malcolm to the organization. This is the same message he spoke to people while in and out of prison and it captured many people’s hearts (History, 2016).
He will be remembered for his leadership in Islam that saw the population grow from 400 to 40,000 members in a span of 10 years. He exhorted black communities to cast of Slavism by whichever means possible, violence inclusive. He was the first African American to form the Afro-American Unity organization where he spoke with so much conviction that the problem facing African-Americans in the U.S.A. was racism and not the white counter parts as many would have thought. Malcolm will be remembered for making speeches that racism should be rid of as it was the greatest foe to African-Americans and his passion for the rights of his people made his movement gain many followers and he became one of the most influential civil rights movement in history (History, 2016).

I have been reading through discussion posts and thought I might give a few suggestions. If you have been struggling, try using the ACE method. First give your ANSWER, then CITE EVIDENCE, and finally EXPLAIN how that evidence supports your answer. Here are a few examples that might help. (You do not HAVE to use this method, but if you struggling it might be helpful).
Question: What were the motivations for the colonists declaring independence against Great Britain? Why did they feel they needed to take this drastic step? What were the risks? What were the repercussions?
Answer: The colonists felt that they had exhausted all other opportunities to compromise or work with Great Britain and had no other option but to declare independence (ANSWER). They had made numerous attempts at asking for representation in Parliament to give them more fair opportunities and tax laws. They tried peacefully protesting and boycotting British goods as a way to show their dissatisfaction with the increased taxes, soldiers, and oppressive authority. They also wrote the Olive Branch Petition as a formal way to ease tensions and come to a diplomatic agreement between the colonies and Britain (CITED EVIDENCE). However, none of these efforts were successful as the British continued creating harsher restrictions and taxes, and increased the military presence in the colonies to keep rebellions down. When King George rejected the Olive Branch Petition, the Continental Congress realized they would never get their needs and demands met and decided independence was the only route that could be taken (EXPLANATION).
Question: Compare the colonization of the Spanish and the English. How were their motivations, lifestyles, and interactions with natives different from one another?
Answer: The Spanish came to the Americas looking for economic and religious opportunites. They did not come to create permanent colonies, but rather to find resources and to spread Christianity. The English were looking to create permanent settlements in the New World. Because the Spanish did not intend to stay permanently, those who came were mostly men, which explains why they ending up raping and pro-creating with natives. They also used natives for labor as part of the encomienda system, leading to a high level of negative interations between Spanish and Natives. On the other hand, the English brought women and children with them as they intended to settle and live long term in the Americas. Because they had their own women and had did not use natives for labor, they excluded the natives from their communities and had as little interactions as possible. The different goals of the Spanish and the English led to differing lifestyles of each group and explains their different relationships with Native Americans.

Mini Case
IT Planning at ModMeters4
Brian Smith, CIO of ModMeters, groaned inwardly as he listened to CEO John Johnson
wrapping up his remarks. “So our executive team thinks there are real business oppor-
tunities for us in developing these two new strategic thrusts. But before I go to the
board for final approval next month, I need to know that our IT, marketing, and sales
plans will support us all the way,” Johnson concluded.
Brian mentally calculated the impact these new initiatives would have on his orga-
nization. He had heard rumors from his boss, the COO, that something big was coming
down. He had even been asked his opinion about whether these strategies were techni-
cally doable, theoretically. But both at once? Resources—people, time, and money—were
tight, as usual. ModMeters was making a reasonable profit, but the CFO, Stan Abrams,
had always kept the lid screwed down tightly on IT spending. Brian had to fight for
every dime. How he was going to find the wherewithal to support not one but two new
strategic initiatives, he didn’t know.
The other VPs at this strategy presentation were smiling. Taking ModMeters
global from a North American operation seemed to be a logical next step for the com-
pany. Its products, metering components of all types, were highly specialized and in
great demand from such diverse customers as utility companies, manufacturers, and
a host of other industries. Originally founded as Modern Meters, the firm had grown
steadily as demand for its metering expertise and components had grown over the past
century or so. Today ModMeters was the largest producer of metering components in
the world with a full range of both mechanical and, now, digital products. Expanding
into meter assembly with plants in Asia and Eastern Europe was a good plan, thought
Brian, but he wasn’t exactly sure how he was going to get the infrastructure in place
to support it. “Many of these countries simply don’t have the telecommunications and
equipment we are going to need, and the training and new systems we have to put in
place are going to be substantial,” he said.
But it was the second strategic thrust that was going to give him nightmares, he
predicted. How on earth did they expect him to put direct-to-customer sales in place
so they could sell “green” electric meters to individual users? His attention was jerked
back to the present by a flashy new logo on an easel that the CEO had just unveiled.
“In keeping with our updated strategy, may I present our new name—MM!”
Johnson announced portentously.
“Oh, this is just great,” thought Brian. “Now I have to go into every single applica-
tion and every single document this company produces and change our name!”
Because of its age and scientific orientation, ModMeters (as he still preferred to
call it) had been in the IT business a long time. Starting back in the early 1960s, the

Case Study
: Frederick is a student at Central Fictional State University (CFSU), and he has a great idea for a new business invention. Frederick's invention and the business that he plans to found based on it will absolutely revolutionize the market and will make him very rich. He decides to share his idea with a few trusted professors, and he even uses the idea in a research project for one of his classes.
While Frederick is at home over summer break, he discovers, much to his dismay, that his professors have stolen his idea and have opened a business marketing his new invention. Frederick immediately seeks the advice of the local lawyer who has a reputation for being a "scorched-earth" litigator. He advises Frederick that he should sue “those professors for everything they've got." Frederick, however, is not sure if he should file an aggressive lawsuit, or if there is a better way to proceed.
Frederick knows that your business recently completed mediation to settle a lawsuit filed by one of your suppliers. He comes to you for advice on how to proceed. What is your answer to Frederick? In your response, consider whether the decision to file suit or to proceed through some form of alternative dispute resolution is affected by the previous relationship with the professors (can/should you sue a friend, how will the decision impact an ongoing relationship, etc.). Also, what role could Frederick’s faith play in his decision?

Building Shared Services at RR
Communications4
Vince Patton had been waiting years for this day. He pulled the papers together in front of
him and scanned the small conference room. “You’re fired,” he said to the four divisional
CIOs sitting at the table. They looked nervously at him, grinning weakly. Vince wasn’t
known to make practical jokes, but this had been a pretty good meeting, at least relative to
some they’d had over the past five years. “You’re kidding,” said Matt Dawes, one of the
more outspoken members of the divisional CIO team. “Nope,” said Vince. “I’ve got the
boss’s OK on this. We don’t need any of you anymore. I’m creating one enterprise IT orga-
nization, and there’s no room for any of you. The HR people are waiting outside.” With
that, he picked up his papers and headed to the door, leaving the four of them in shock.
“That felt good,” he admitted as he strode back to his office. A big man, not
known to tolerate fools gladly (or corporate politics), he was not a cruel one. But those
guys had been thorns in his side ever since he had taken the new executive VP of IT job
at the faltering RR Communications five years ago. The company’s stock had been in
the dumpster, and with the dramatically increased competition in the telecommunica-
tions industry as a result of deregulation, his friends and family had all thought he was
nuts. But Ross Roman, RR’s eccentric but brilliant founder, had made him an offer he
couldn’t refuse. “We need you to transform IT so that we can introduce new products
more quickly,” he’d said. “You’ll have my full backing for whatever you want to do.”
Typically for an entrepreneur, Roman had sketched the vision swiftly, leaving some-
one else to actually implement it. “We’ve got to have a more flexible and responsive IT
organization. Every time I want to do something, they tell me ‘the systems won’t allow
it.’ I’m tired of having customers complaining about getting multiple bills for each of our
products. It’s not acceptable that RR can’t create one simple little bill for each customer.”
Roman punctuated his remarks by stabbing with his finger at a file full of letters to the
president, which he insisted on reading personally each week. “You’ve got a reputation
as a ‘can do’ kind of guy; I checked. Don’t bother me with details; just get the job done.”
Vince knew he was a good, proactive IT leader, but he hadn’t been prepared
for the mess he inherited—or the politics. There was no central IT, just separate divi-
sional units for the four key lines of business—Internet, mobile, landline, and cable TV
service—each doing its own thing. Every business unit had bought its own hardware
and software, so introducing the common systems that would be needed to accomplish
Roman’s vision would be hugely difficult—that is, assuming they wanted them, which
they didn’t. There were multiple sales systems, databases, and customer service centers,
all of which led to customer and bus.

Mila Jefferies is a recently widowed 36-year-old mother of two c.docxendawalling
Mila Jefferies is a recently widowed 36-year-old mother of two children and the daughter of two aging parents in the southeastern United States. She and her children have recently relocated from an urban neighborhood to a rural town to care for her parents, Robert and Susan. The move involved a job change for Elizabeth, a change in schools for the children, and an increased distance from the family of the children’s deceased father. Mila’s older child is a 5-year-old daughter, recently diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and dyslexia. The younger of the two children is a 3-year-old boy with asthma that has been difficult to control since the move. Robert is a 72-year-old Methodist minister who recently suffered a stroke, leaving him with diminished motor function on his left side and difficulty swallowing. Susan is 68 years old and suffers from fibromyalgia, limiting her ability to assist with the daily care of her husband. She has experienced an increase in generalized pain, difficulty sleeping, and worsening fatigue since her husband’s stroke.
Use the Neuman systems model as a conceptual framework to respond to the following:
• Describe the Jefferies family as a client I system using each of the five variables.
• What actual and potential stressors threaten the family? Which stressors are positive, and which are negative? Separate the actual and potential stressors that threaten the individual members of the family. Which of the stressors are positive, and which are negative?
• What additional nursing assessment data are needed considering Robert’s medical diagnoses? What additional data would be helpful for Susan’s medical diagnoses? What about each of the children?
• What levels of prevention intervention(s) are appropriate for the Jefferies family? Propose potential prevention intervention(s) for each member of the family.
• Identify your nursing priorities if you were providing care to this family.

The Relationship of Lower-Limb
Muscle Force to Walking Ability in
Patients With Amyotrophic
Lateral Sclerosis
Background and Purpose. The purpose of this study was to determine
the level of muscle force associated with ability to walk in the
community without assistance, in the community with assistance, or at
home only in individuals with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Subjects and Methods. Percentage of predicted maximal muscle force
(%PMF) of lower-extremity muscles was determined, and walking
ability was categorized in 118 patients with ALS during periodic visits to
the Neuromuscular Research Unit. Data were derived from consecu-
tive visits in which subjects demonstrated declines in walking ability.
Means for %PMF of each muscle group and a limb average were
calculated at each consecutive visit. Results. The mean lower-extremity
average %PMF was: (1) 54.01% (SD512.76%) for subjects who walked
independently in the community and 50.19% (SD514.38%) during
the next visit when these same subjects required assistance in the
community (difference53.82%, 95% confidence interval [CI]5
2.4525.19);(2) 37.52% (SD515.17%) during the last visit that subjects
walked with assistance in the community and 32.18% (SD513.83%)
during the next visit when they walked only at home (differ-
ence55.33%, 95% CI53.61–7.06); and (3) 19.12% (SD59.08%) dur-
ing the visit when subjects were last able to ambulate at home versus
13.70% (SD57.36%) when they became unable to walk (differ-
ence55.42%, 95% CI52.9727.96). Conclusion and Discussion. The
findings suggest there are required levels of lower-extremity muscle
force for various categories of walking ability. Variations in forces
within and between categories of walking ability, however, indicate the
complexity of this relationship. [Jette DU, Slavin MD, Andres PL,

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Claude McKay Outline
I. Introduction
A. Background: For every literary period, there is always a
group of writers that define it. When it comes to the Harlem
Renaissance, a period that characterized eruption of activities
among the African Americans in almost every art field, Claude
McKay was the unquestioned leader. Born in 1889, in Sunny
Ville, Jamaica, McKay went to become a novelist and a poet
known in Britain, USA, and his home land. At the age of
seventeen, McKay started writing poems with the influence of
his brother, Theophilus. Theophilus was a school teacher in
Jamaica, therefore was interested in literature. At a young age,
Theophilus helped McKay to develop an interest in the British
literature. Claude McKay started receiving mentorship from
Walter Jekyll, an Englishman from Jamaica. Jekyll encouraged
McKay to write dialect verses. Later on in 1912, McKay
immigrated to USA, establishing himself as a renowned poet.
He went on to publish Songs of Jamaica, Constab Ballads and
two volumes of dialect verse.
B. Transition to Thesis: After his immigration to the United
States of America, McKay started to experience things that he
did not expect. McKay had not experienced racism until he
joined the Tuskegee Institute to study agronomy. America’s
racism sparked the fire in McKay to write even more, talking
real issues and letting his readers understand what was
happening and getting to their guts. He then moved to New
York and invested in a restaurant. He married Eulalie Imelda
Lewars. McKay published two poems there before he gained
recognition as a lyric poet from Frank Harris, an editor at
2. Pearson’s magazine. The Liberator’s editor Max Eastman also
recognized him. Throughout his life, McKay was keen to make
sure that he addressed the issues that were in the society.
C. Thesis Statement: Claude McKay was an influential poet that
was best in addressing real life issues from the Harlem
Renaissance period.
II. Significance to New York City
McKay was Voice to the people of Harlem
McKay had a famous voice to the rights of the African
Americans in America. During his time, the situation for the
blacks was tough and dangerous. The African Americans at that
time who dared to oppose discrimination ended up suffering at
the hands of the police. The African Americans had no choice
but to live in fear of speaking the truth as it was and facing the
real life. They, as a result, decide to play down their feeling and
thoughts. McKay gave the people of Harlem a helping hand to
break from their cocoon. He gave the people a voice, inspired
them to go for their rights.
McKay helped in the Cultural Identity of the black people
McKay raised the consciousness of the need to reflect on the
issues that affect the African Americans in USA. He attracted
the attention of researchers and people in academia to explore
the unique problems that the African Americans faced.
By attracting the attention of researchers and academicians,
McKay allowed people to understand the New York was a city
occupied by people from different backgrounds. He allowed the
black community to discover its niche.
III. Against Racial Discrimination
Defending Black rights
In his poem “If we must die”, McKay looks to be defending the
rights of the African Americans and threatens for abuse and
prejudice. The poem encourages the blacks to fight with
determined hears and courage against those that murder them.
Also, McKay not only encourages the blacks, he also
encourages any other race that faces discrimination to fight for
its freedom.
3. IV. Personal Life
McKay was a hard worker
Claude McKay joined the Industrial Workers of the world while
working in a factory after he had worked as a waiter of a dining
car in on the railways.
McKay was against American Communists and fought them
He believed that communists had different agendas and that the
African Americans were not part of the plan. This, however,
was after he joined the Communist party. He believed that the
communists were using the African Americans to fight their
battles. The views about communism became wild that he
sought to help Russia. He had heard of the acceptance of the
Russians towards communist and even willingness to normalize
homosexuality.
McKay believed that the American Communist party suppressed
the idea of individuality and independent thinking. He moved to
Russia. Before moving back to America, he denounced the
communist thoughts.
McKay engaged in social activism
McKay engaged in activism both through his literature and in
person. McKay strongly urged that the African American man
should be accepted fully. He even urged that the homosexuals
should be accepted; in his novel “home to Harlem”. McKay also
worked to make sure that equality and acceptance of diversity
would not be an issue.
McKay was bisexual
Generally, people assume that McKay was bisexual because he
pursued relationships with men and women alike. Even though
he never officially came out to state his sexual preference, he
enjoyed the secrecy of New York. His ability to enter any
homosexual community and get accepted is a reason why people
strongly believe he was bisexual. In some of his poems,
homosexual sentiments are seen. According to Josephine
Herbst, she was convinced that he was bisexual and that she got
syphilis one time in their relationship.
V. Conclusion
4. A. Summary of the paper
Claude McKay was a well-travelled person, an author that had
experienced different things in his life because of his constant
migration. Born in Jamaica, McKay moved to USA, Russia, UK,
and Morocco and also visited other countries. His interest in
authorship was mentored by his elder brother and an
Englishman living in Jamaica. He went on to write poems,
narratives, novels and short stories. His works were mainly
political and urged the African Americans to fight for their
rights. He was also against American Communism that he
believed did not have the interest to the blacks at heart. His
personal life also reflected what he was writing in his novels
and poems. For instance, he was very political and was also
believed to be bisexual, something that he seemed to fight for in
his poems.
B. Closing Thoughts
McKay was political and fought for the rights of his people.
McKay was willing to go to an extra length to tackle the issues
in the society and was not fearful of anything or anyone.

The Literary Identity from
Jamaica to Harlem and Beyond. McFarland, 2006.
This book is made of six chapters and provides a great insights
of Claude McKay by exploring his unique contribution to the
global discourse of black writing. The book examines McKay’s
career as a British colonial subject writer as well as his
analytical writings about the problem of identity, vocations as
well as politics of the black man in an extremely racist Western
civilization for the first half of the 20th century. The book also
provides insights on how his life in exile influenced his
ideological evolutions and writing. The book will greatly
contribute to research work as it explores how McKay’s traits
influenced his writings by focusing on his poetry works written
outside Jamaica. On a large picture, the book will enable me
demonstrate how influential authors such as MacKay
contributed to key movements in the history of the blacks.

This book written by Holcomb will be great significance in my
research as it explores how McKay’s writings can be used to
interpret politics of literary texts. The author examines three of
8. the most fundamental works by McKay writing careers; Home to
Harlem, Romance in Marseille and A Long Way from Home. By
doing so, Holcomb uncovers how McKay contributed to black
modern studies by exploring queen black Marxism in details. As
such, the book will of great help to me as it explores the
twentieth- century transatlantic modernist author as well as his
literary works; poetry and prose. The book is also be important
to me as it gives a good history and historiography of an author
who helped to articulate challenges of the blacks.

This book provides deep insights into the literary works of a
distinguished and versatile intellect, Claude McKay (1889-
1948). The book exposes McKay as an accomplished novelists,
essayist, social and political activist and poet whose work
influence not only Jamaican readers but also readers from any
other part of the world. The authors did a great job by doing
some research on personal life of McKay who once declared
himself as a “born to be a poet.” The authors demonstrate how
Jamaican life during his childhood and youth shaped his career
from age of ten. This book’s part two especially will be of great
importance to my research as it will enable me understand some
McKay written works as it provides individual analysis to his
works.
