The new sun bingo advert: Eurgh! I will book a free mental hospital appointment for the person who thought up the idea. I mean seriously, it is the most annoying-est advert EVER! Everything from the setting, to the woman to her hair, and the maddening jingle (oh the jingle!) annoys the brains out of me.

Give it to employees on a weekly basis so that they can see how their performance measures and what needs to be corrected; also awarding them for good work would increase leadership visibility. Comparing performance Lei needs to compare performance against the standards and determining deviations. She should compare the work accomplished against the expected work.

Corrective Action By implementing the bureaucratic control system, Lei can now take the final step to ensure that operations are adjusted to achieve results, or if significant variances are discovered then Lei can take immediate and vigorous
A love story, an epic quest, an interstellar adventure, and a carnival of Gen-X nostalgia with booths devoted to D&D, classic video games, and wood-paneled basements, Ernest Cline's Ready Player One succeeds as a lovable, super-referential romp through a simulated world of '80s geek chic. Ultimately, however, it never quite lives up to the source material which it exists to celebrate. Set in the mid-twenty first century, Cline's novel presents us with a world that has broken in all the ways we feared and a few we never thought to imagine. Oil has peaked. Energy is scarce.
There are many leadership styles that I use authoritarian, delegate, companionable and synergistic. Authoritarian leaders provide clear expectations for what needs to be done, when it should be done, and how it should be done. They make decisions independently with little or no input. The supervisor checks on their employees frequently because they cannot be trusted to fulfill their task it is believed that this style developed from the belief that employees require continuous attention because they are undependable or immature.

Not So SuperBad Sweetly absurd, Crude and awkward, Superbad is almost a typical teen movie, reminding me a bit of the American Pie films because of the simple plot and juvenile humour. However, compared to other teen movies the film is much more intelligently written than others of its genre, and this shines through in the characters. Superbad follows three high school seniors as they go on a long night of self-discovery, ending in drunken declarations of love between best friends with unrealistic yet entertaining events happening in between. The over weight Seth, played by Jonah Hill (Knocked Up) is foul-mouthed and impulsive, Evan, his best friend, played by Michael Cera is a more gentle and shy, almost to the point of being invisible,
Blue, often abbreviated as RvB, is a comic science fiction video series created by Rooster Teeth Productions using the video game halo as its set and distributed through the Internet and on DVD. The story centers on two opposing teams of soldiers fighting a civil war in the middle of a desolate box canyon (the all-time fan favorite Blood Gulch), in a parody of first-person shooter (FPS) games, military life, and science fiction films. Initially intended to be a short series of six to eight episodes, the project quickly and unexpectedly achieved significant popularity following its Internet premiere on April 1, 2003. The fifth season of the original Blood Gulch Chronicles series ended with episode 100, released on June 28, 2007. The show has recently ended its tenth season with a larger cast and new design features that include CGI rendering and guest stars such as Elijah Wood (commonly known as Frodo) and is even sponsored by Bungee and Microsoft, the creators of the Halo

Experts have designed ways of protecting people in the country in case there ever is an attack on the United States. It would be very bad if another countries technology of weapons of mass destruction were far superior then the United State’s. The United States must never fall behind when in comes to technology. Competiveness among people will also keep America booming. When it comes to the work place Americans get very competitive.
The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work by Alain De Botton The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work by Alain De Botton looks at the concept of work in and of itself. It looks into what work means to each person, given that most of a person’s waking life is spent at work, striving to answer the questions of why people work, what makes it pleasurable, what the meaning of it is, and why humans are exhausting not only themselves on a daily basis, but exhausting the planet at the same time. De Botton believes that a drift towards specialization in work is natural, and it exists at all levels of all industries, and not just within the industries themselves, but “the drift towards specialization exists at the mechanical level too” (p. 22). There are both upsides and downsides to this type of specialization and “any sadness we may feel about the demise of the generalist can be offset by the recognition that our age offers us access to unimpeachable masters of specific trades” (De Botton, p. 21). “More sorrows than pleasures” (Parini, 2009) are found in De Botton’s work as he goes through, searching for the different answers to the questions he wishes to address, wandering “through a series of ten self-contained studies, isolating strands in the complex weave that constitutes “the workplace”” (Parini, 2009).
