My dream job is to be a world-class cardio surgeon, and to get there, I need to first graduate high school top of my class. I need to be as well-rounded and get the highest grades I possibly can these next three years to hopefully graduate as Valedictorian or Salutatorian class of 2019. After, I plan on going to one of the prestigious Ivy League schools, Brown University and major in Chemistry (with emphasis in pre-med). Then, to become a doctor, I need to go to Medical School, hopefully at Stanford University, and graduate top 10 in my class there. Afterwards, I'd like to move to Massachusetts and work at Mass Gen. and begin my career with many successful surgeries, innovative techniques/ breakthroughs, and case studies. These achievements will symbolize my success and the impact I will have made in the medical field which is my ultimate goal in my professional life.
Fraud:
Jerome Kerviel is a French Capitalistic Villain who ran several unauthorized trades worth 5 billion euros and manipulated "an already severely flawed financial system". To some, including his cult-like fan base, he was a modern day Robin Hood from humble beginnings, but to the rest of the disarrayed population, he's "history’s single-largest trade fraudster".
"Sympathetic, French-speaking readers may want to help Mr. Kerviel pay back the 4.9 billion euros he owes the bank by ordering his memoir. In the meantime, he is planning to appeal." The entry level position for a Cardio-thoracic Surgeon would most likely be a General Surgeon Resident.
Team-oriented Medical Simulation (TOMS) "The first hour of TOMS training consists of a pre-briefing that highlights relevant teamwork concepts such as situational awareness, communication, and decisionmaking. The second hour is devoted to simulated laparoscopic and anesthetic procedures, using a life-like mannequin with live abattoir organs to simulate surgery. The third hour consists of a team-led debriefing that uses videotaped examples of the team’s own performance to diagnose problems and identify strategies for improvement." (found on http://www.ahrq.gov/downloads/pub/advances/vol4/Baker.pdf)
"MedTeams is a system of teamwork training and organizational change that focuses on behavioral solutions to the problem of patient safety and to the delivery of improved patient care. Based on a set of teamwork principles that are widely used in crew resource management (CRM) programs in military and commercial aviation, MedTeams is now being implemented as a performance and safety solution in emergency care. The results, details of which may be found in Morey et al., demonstrated the effectiveness of the MedTeams system. Improvements were obtained in the experimental group for six out of the seven key measures assessed. The quality of team behaviors improved, workload was not increased by practicing teamwork, staff attitudes towards teamwork were enhanced, preparation of patients for admission from the ED improved, and the proportion of highly satisfied patients increased. The most important finding from the validation was that clinical errors were substantially and significantly reduced. A clinical error was defined as any clinical task that actually or potentially put a patient at risk. These errors were witnessed by a specially trained emergency center nurse or physician observing cases for the purpose of rating teamwork behaviors."

"The primary purpose of DOM is to increase patient safety, reduce medical errors, and improve the quality of health care by improving trainees’ skills in team-building, recognizing adverse situations, counteracting the effects of stress and fatigue, communicating, and decisionmaking. DOM provides interdisciplinary team training to surgeons, nurses, and anesthesiologists. The program draws heavily on CRM training from aviation25 and was developed by Crew Training International (CTI). CTI (http://www.cti-crm.com) recently renamed DOM LifewingsTM (http://www.saferpatients.com). DOM, which is quite similar to MedTeams and to MTM, includes 8 hours of classroom-based, interactive training that incorporates facilitated discussion, role playing, case studies, behavior modeling, and knowledge testing.25 During the 8- hour session, two highly trained CTI instructors (typically former pilots) lead participants through strategies for building an effective team. These techniques include recognition of adverse situations, recommendations for managing conflict constructively, guidance for mitigating the effects of stress, training in decisionmaking skills, recommendations for providing effective performance feedback, and principles for mitigating the effects of fatigue.25 To reinforce the principles of DOM training, CTI developed a “challenge and response checklist,” which trainees are required to use in the OR." (http://www.ahrq.gov/downloads/pub/advances/vol4/Baker.pdf)
"The Air Force developed MTM training specifically in response to an incident at an Air Force facility in which poor teamwork led to a neurologically impaired newborn. Similar to MedTeams, the primary purpose of MTM is to reduce medical errors, in this case by teaching human-factors concepts to interdisciplinary teams of medical professionals. A secondary purpose is to change the military's traditional medical culture, which focuses on individual performance, an emphasis that creates communication barriers. In contrast, MTM specifically fosters a culture that values team performance and encourages effective communication. Its theoretical position is that this new culture will facilitate teamwork, thereby reducing errors." "The MTM training program has two major components: a three-day train-the-trainer course and a medical treatment facility course. Upon completing the train-the-trainer course, graduates return to their respective medical facilities to train the remaining staff in teamwork principles. 21 The MTM curriculum includes an introduction to the program, overviews of key patient safety and CRM issues, and specific modules for seven team skills (Table 1). Case studies, vignettes, and tools are interspersed throughout the curriculum to reinforce the importance of effective teamwork." (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK20580/)
Airtime for the Super Bowl costed $5 million for 30 seconds. My favorite commercial from the Super Bowl was the Marilyn Monroe Snickers commercial because it was a cute commercial about what you look like before and after eating a snickers which is great marketing for the product. The halftime show starred Bruno Mars, Beyonce, and Coldplay and was packed with the crowd on teh field, lots of movement and energy, and great costumes and projection. Although the performers were playing towards the camera instead of the crowd, it was still an entertaining show. Cam Newton of the Carolina Panthers wore Under Armour gold cleats. And Bruno Mars's crew sported Nike sneakers--
The ALS Association spread awareness of the ALS disease by trending their hashtags which promote awareness and create a fun, summer-friendly challenge for everyone. #ALSIceBucketChallenge.
Through Social Media, 17 million people doused themselves in freezing cold water and donated well over $100 million to find a cure. These videos were watched by 440 million people over 1 billion times. Now, since 2014 they have made the tradition every August to challenge franchises and donors to raise money to #ChallangeALS. "Throughout the month [of August] , each Major League Club will host its own ALS Ice Bucket Challenge and will then challenge another franchise, along with two other local personalities or organizations, to participate in the charitable effort. MLB is also donating $100,000 to The ALS Association. The funds will be used to further collaborative efforts among several ALS organizations to find treatments and a cure for the disease. MLB is also encouraging fans to consider donating to support the ALS community at ALSIceBucketChallenge.org."

The post Kelly left on Facebook is about her dissatisfaction of tips she earns at her job.
‘If you come into a restaurant and spend $50 or more, you should be able to tip appropriately for that,' According to the Huffington Post, a friend of hers on Facebook screenshotted a picture of Kelly's post and angrily showed it to the manager, believing the post was about her. Promptly, Kirsten was fired, but is confused as to why and claims that her employer had no right in firing her due to the 1st Amendment of the Constitution. Others claim that "She knows the people, they have mutual friends on FB. Did she not think her post would be seen? She probably could have gotten away with a little rant, but to post a derogatory name was going too far."

"Kumon is the world’s largest after school learning program, designed to give kids academic advantage."
Kumon Learning Centers "was created by a dad who wanted the best for his son." He wanted his son, Takeshi to develop a love of learning and to master new concepts before continuing to the next subject. By doing this, his son was prepared for rigorous high school and college exams. Many parents took notice of how unique Kumon's self-learning step-by-step method improved his son's cognitive thinking which grew to the franchise dedicated to helping young minds. It costs between $64,187 and $134,100 to start a franchise in a considered location. There are many steps before you can open the doors of the new franchise location because the board that gives the ultimate decision has to consider your credibility, how dedicated you are to the program, and if you share the same passion and values. On top of that, training is required and there are many upfront fees that have to come out of your pocket before you can get any of the business's revenue. I would probably start this franchise because this company values the education and successful development of each individual student. They only hire the most qualified tutors to assist and support each child as they improve their cognitive abilities. Even though the price to own a franchise is pricey, I believe that it would be worth it because every parent wants the best for their child, and not every child is a natural-born genius, so there will always be revenue. http://www.kumonfranchise.com/ ![]() Henry Ford- From: Dearborn, Michigan Born: July 30, 1863 Died: April 7, 1947 Background: Grew up on his father's farm in Dearborn in an ordinary household situation. He demonstrated mechanical ability at an early age by teaching himself how to fix watches and learned how to steam engines worked by becoming friends with the men who worked there. In the Henry Ford website it states "...young Ford demonstrated mechanical ability, a facility for leadership, and a preference for learning by trial-and-error. These characteristics would become the foundation of his whole career." (https://www.thehenryford.org/exhibits/hf/Young_Henry.asp) Education: "In 1879 he left the farm to become an apprentice at the Michigan Car Company, a manufacturer of railroad cars in Detroit. " (https://www.thehenryford.org/exhibits/hf/Young_Henry.asp) Business: Founded Ford Motor Company. Incorporated in 1903 with 12 investors and 1,000 shares and nearly spent all of its $28,000 cash investment by the time it sold the Model A (First car). Now: ![]() Martha Stewart- Born: August 3, 1941 From: Jersey City, New Jersey Education: attended Barnard College in Manhattan, where she earned a degree in European and architectural history in 1962. Afterwards, Martha decided to focus her energy on gourmet cooking, having trained herself by reading Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking. Business: Began as a catering company and within a decade she became well-known. Then she published her first book Entertaining which soon became a bestseller and was followed by many more works. By this time Martha Stewart Inc. grew to be a $1 million business. In 1991, she released her magazine Martha Stewart Living. "Stewart's lifestyle empire soon grew to include two magazines, a checkout-size recipe publication, a popular cable television show, a syndicated newspaper column, a series of how-to books, a radio show, an Internet site and $763 million in annual retail sales. At the end of the day, the price of each of 72 million shares in Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Inc. had jumped more than 95 percent and raised almost $130 million. Stewart herself controls 96 percent of the voting shares in her company and is worth $1.2 billion." (http://www.biography.com/people/martha-stewart-9542234#lifestyle-guru) ![]() Michael Dell- Born: February 23, 1965 From: Houston, Texas Education: attended University of Texas Business: "Intrigued by the expanding world of computers and gadgetry, Dell purchased an early Apple computer at the age of 15 for the strict purpose of taking it apart to see how it worked...It was in college that Dell found the niche that would become his boom. The PC world was still young and Dell realized that no company had tried selling directly to customers." He began with taping into his savings account with a small amount of $1,000 to sell computers to college students directly. He soon after dropped out of college to focus on the business. In his first year as a business, he made $6 million in sales and by 2000 he was a billionaire and the company expanded to 34 countries. Also, he is the youngest CEO of a Fortune 500 company. ![]() Richard Sears- Born: December 7, 1863 Died: September 28, 1914 From: Stewartville, Minnesota Education: "He learned telegraphy and found work with the Minneapolis and St. Louis Railway, and eventually became a station agent" Business: "in 1886, he learned of a local jeweler who had refused a watch shipment. Sears asked the manufacturer if he could try to sell the watches, and once permission was granted, Sears sent out letters to other station agents, offering the watches at a reduced price." After that, Sears began a mail-order watch company with his profit of $5,000 and within 6 months, the company was such a success, he resigned from his job at the railroad. He soon partnered with Alvah C. Roebuck and established a new catalog business, A. C. Roebuck & Company. "In 1893, A.C. Roebuck & Company became Sears, Roebuck and Company and its headquarters were moved to Chicago. At this time, the Sears, Roebuck catalog ran nearly 200 pages and sold such goods as sewing machines, saddles and musical instruments. By the following year, the catalog had reached 507 pages, and Sears himself wrote nearly every word of it." In 1908, the company was averaging $40 million in sales. Now, Sears has the net profit of $208 million. |
