Open position

dedication for Serena Williams to end up at the top of the tennis world. She proudly says that she came from nothing in a sport that expects you have a little something.

Open Source Software Projects: A Balance of Trust and Control According to Jones et al. (2005), trust is the single most important driver for the success of virtual teams. However, as a result of Michael Gallivan’s (2001) case study on open source software projects, he now believes that there is another variable to this movement that can be found in control. He presents the McDonaldization theory by identifying four aspects of modern organizations: efficiency, calculability, predictability and…

my mock session proved once again to be beneficial. Overall I found that the session went well, I do believe that my client has more trust in my and my rapport with her has grown. During the session, I noticed that I did not move much from the position that I was in and I had my hands folded within each other the entire time and I kept eye contact with the client for the majority of the session. I also noted that my tone of voice was very singular, I did not fluctuate my voice during the mock…

The Open Boat: A Testament to Naturalism Stephen Crane’s “The Open Boat” is a tale of humanity in conflict with nature. It is a case for a naturalistic understanding of the world in its exploration of the lack of broader perspective in the narration, the perception of nature as first cruel and then indifferent, and the futility of men’s efforts in the face of nature’s overpowering presence. This story is both tragic and removed from emotion, as we experience the pain nature can inflict, and…

the night nurse and been placed in the same position taught me to always ask even if the nurses says they need to go because their shift is over. If I had the chance to repeat the simulation I would focus more on the patient’s safety and do my best to obtain all the information needed to deliver proper care. I would not focus on making a plan on what I should do first because nursing changes not all patients will be in the same state. I would keep an open mind that anything can happen and I…

I have decided to write a response paper to Jamie Schultz’s: “Reading the Catsuit: Serena Williams and the Production of Blackness at the 2002 U.S. Open.” I really enjoyed reading her journal and all the opinions regarding Serena William’s infamous catsuit.

She has pushed the boundaries not only in tennis, but also…

However, I recall struggling to maintain eye contact with Carol because every couple of minutes I would look down to ensure the tape recorder was in fact recording or check my…
