Write 3 pages with APA style on Leadership and the Role of Managers. Leadership and Role of Managers: Interview Report This interview was conducted with the Medicaid service coordinator, Mr. Bills at XYZ Hospital on 5 September 2012 at 9:00 am. Mr. Bills is 46 years old and has been rendering the services of the Medicaid service coordinator at the hospital for 14 years. I selected Mr. Bills for this interview not just because he is the coordinator of a healthcare program that was supposedly a criterion of selection for this assignment, but also because he is known to me since my childhood as he is my father’s best friend. Mr. Bills has always been very affectionate with me, so he kindly accepted my interview proposal. Appointment with Mr. Bills was formerly taken via email and confirmed over the phone. The interview took about an hour and a half to reach the end. Medicaid is the healthcare program selected for this assignment. It is one of the prime programs of public health coverage in the USA and is particularly implemented to ensure the healthcare of the low-income Americans. Currently, Medicaid offers the healthcare services to more than 55 million Americans that include the elderly and the disabled (Kaiser Family Foundation, 2007). Mr. Bills’s responsibilities as a Medicaid service coordinator include but are not limited to the coordination and administration of service plans and benefits for the recipients of Medicaid in a medical setting (Friend, 2011). Mr. Bills works with the recipients of Medicaid, and makes sure that they are provided with all the federal, charitable, and local services which they are entitled to. It was a structured but open-ended interview consisting of a total of 15 questions. Some of the questions are as follows: Have you ever been in a situation where you faced problems in developing consensus among your peers for a strategic initiative? How do you deal with the patients who are totally unaware of the benefits they are entitled to? America is a culturally diverse country. have you ever experienced linguistic barriers communicating with the patients? How do you overcome them? What are the present challenges in effective implementation of the Medicaid program? The key leadership characteristics that I noticed in Mr. Bills include informed decision-making skills, change management skills, knowledge, and eloquence in speech. Mr. Bills’s informed decision-making and change management skills reflect in his response to the question about challenges in the strategic initiatives. He said that during the global financial crisis, the hospital faced problems of high labor costs, which did not leave much money to invest in the development of new programs. On one hand, the chief executive officer directed him to reduce the staff by 30 per cent but make sure that the quality of care is not affected. On the other hand, the physicians showed resistance saying that this would result into a compromise upon the patient care. To resolve the matter, Mr. Bills conducted meetings with different departments and individually conversed with the department chairs. After a lengthy session of meetings and discussions, he finally managed to demonstrate the medical staff that he would make the reductions in the non-patient care areas and any voids thus created would be filled in by the introduction of improved technology and latest procedures. Mr. Bills’s knowledge reflects in his response to the question about the contemporary challenges in the effective implementation of the Medicaid program. Answering the question about the current challenges, Mr. Bills said that enrollee turnover is a major problem that complicates the development of enrollees and participation of the providers. This can be partly attributed to the rules of eligibility and dissatisfaction of the healthcare providers resulting from low compensation rates. These problems hinder the success of initiatives taken for the disease management. “Without consistent eligibility and stable relationships with physicians, chronically ill enrollees cannot hope to benefit from states’ chronic disease efforts” (Williams, 2004, p. 3). Mr. Bills’s eloquence of speech is evident both in his ability to convince his peers in such sensitive matters as staff reduction and his ability to communicate effectively with the ESL recipients of Medicaid. Mr. Bills’s said that although he frequently deals with the non-English patients, yet he manages to get his point conveyed and understand theirs with expressions and careful judgment. Occasionally, he takes the services of an interpreter/translator when he is doubtful about his understanding of the patient’s words. In addition to that, I judged Mr. Bills’s eloquence from his expressive responses to my questions. On thing that Mr. Bills needs to work upon to deliver better healthcare management services is improve his computer skills. References: Friend, L. (2011, Oct. 2).

submit a 1000 words paper on the topic Oscar Wilde.

Hi, need to submit a 1000 words paper on the topic Oscar Wilde. Being an editor, he believed that he could move fashionable social circles thereby attracting support from influential women in the society (Dierkes-Thrun, 2012). Oscar Wilde called upon to contribute to the reconstruction of lady’s world magazine which was to basically not just deal with what women wear, but with how they think and feel. The likely contributors of the magazine sought out to write with enthusiasm, with tact and avoid being extravagant and the use of vulgar language. The term lady to some level was viewed ambiguously. Wilde regarded it as having a small taint of vulgarity and extremely misleading because of the eminence of “woman question” which was a feminist movement. Wilde persisted that the magazine which seemed to be more feminine be re-named to “woman’s world” (Salamensky 2012, p.132). These changes implied that the term “lady” which was to be changed to “woman” was associated with commonness. In 1895, Wilde in his own words would be interpreted as utterly clear evidence in his scandalous libel and criminal suits that gradually sent him to jail and eventually ended his career. This unfortunate incident did not erase his legacy. His criticism and notes have shaped the society than any other author or poet. Most noticeably, it testifies to the epigrammatic memorability of his statements and declaration and acknowledges the fact that his life meant a personality and a collection of texts and ideas. He fearlessly explored art in relation to everyday life offering unique grounds for examining or testing sexual and social culture during the Victorian era. In 1887’s October issue of the “lady’s world” the prospectus pointed out the changed names of editors of the November issue. The editors who were listed included Marie Corelli, Olive Schreiner, Mathilde Blind as well as Wilde’s wife Constance and his mother Lady Wilde. In addition, Oscar persuaded some of the well-known writers to contribute to the witting one of them being Arthur Symons. Arthur’s first essay was on one of the major symbols in the symbolist movement “Villiers de I ‘isle Adam” which came out after Wilde left the magazine. Wilde was a determined editor of the“woman’s world” but his enthusiasm progressively reduced over the following periods. He gradually became less functional arriving late leaving early, and generally handling at his letters carelessly and giving excuses and makeup promises to his failures (Dierkes-Thrun, 2012). Oscar Wilde’s assistant editor Arthur fish viewed the “woman’s world” magazine as to be the finest with exclusive appeal and attraction to women that was ever been published. The “woman’s world” editors manage to secure brilliant contributors producing a high level of literary content ever attained by a publishing company of its kind. Articles did not only concentrated on fashion but also devoted to distinguish or bring out women, women’s suffrage and historical events (Wilde & Murray 2000, p. 98). Arthur fish always expressed his sympathy on the views of the “woman’s world” writers revealing a liberality of thoughts regarding the political aspirations and ambitions of women that were without a doubt sincere.&nbsp.&nbsp.

You will prepare and submit a term paper on Interview #2. Your paper should be a minimum of 1000 words in length. These feelings of isolation have made him lack trust among his family members and other prospective friends hence making him more depressed. Bullying in school worsened the situation as it made him develop anger issues and avoided everyone because he felt that they could not help him change his attitude.

Vincent blamed all his sufferings on external factors such as karma, fate, and God. He felt that if God cared about him, he would let him suffer but protect him from all the people that were bullying and isolating him in school. Vincent believed that those who suffered were the ones being punished by God, and it was a form of fate and karma.

The other issue that Vincent faced during his suffering period was language barrier because he had moved from Australia to Taiwan. He had financial issues because transitioning to a different country needed more money to settle and buy household materials. He was interrupted at work because he was still working on getting his work permit in Taiwan and found it difficult to communicate with the colleagues because of the language barrier. Vincent’s family role changed since he was now the breadwinner of the family since his parents had retired.

Vincent did not have any caregivers to help him overcome his suffering stage and regretted that fact. The caring words and actions that were meaning to him were the encouraging words from his classmates whom he cherished and hoped that their simple interactions would develop into true friendship even if it turned out differently. Vincent treasured friendship and family relationships since he felt needed and appreciated by the few individuals that accepted to interact with him in the new country.

Vincent needed support from caregivers when he felt isolated and depressed, who would have encouraged him to be positive about life and to feel appreciated. What was missing from his loved ones was more concern for his welfare and encouragement.

Create a 9 pages page paper that discusses distributed power system network with renewable sources. Electrical energy is outputted by the systems of renewable energy systems like fuel cells and photovoltaic panels in the direct current form. As a result, regardless of the fact that the electrical energy produced by the wind turbines is directly proportional to the wind velocity making it alternative current (AC), undergoes conversion back to dc energy by the converters found internally in the small-scale turbines of the wind that are utilized in structures like buildings (Cete, 2010). This network is then injected with Direct Current energy. Thus, the DC energy outputted through the wind turbines, fuel cells, and photovoltaic panels.

The DC energy produced cannot be used readily by the consumers without having been converted to AC energy. This is given the fact that the consumer uses electricity in AC form. The conversion from DC to AC has a few challenges like the improvising of DC to AC converter. There are also disadvantages related to this conversion are. energy loss, partial energy degradation, harmonics production, cost, and dimension increase (Siemens, 2009). Electrical energy transmission from the place of production to the consumer, pose the predicament of losing energy. To avoid this predicament, we need to avoid the use of the DC to AC conversion to produce the AC energy.

Thus in this study, a Mat lab© simulation software will be made for a hybrid system of Direct Current system and thereafter, it will be applied, in the process of production of DC energy through RHESs and in this manner, the DC loads like freezer or refrigerator, 44 compact florescent lamps, fans, TV circulation pump, and vacuum cleaner consume the DC energy in a way that it is not converted into the form of AC (Colorado, 2010). This is will be presented in this paper project as we get to discuss the simulation of renewable energy. It is for this reason that the unit distribution of the DC energy ought to be established for the fuelling of the hybrid energy cell system of photovoltaic wind.
