From the Paper
"In 1947, then President, Harry Truman signed into law The National Security Act of 1947. The National Security Act gave three primary responsibilities to the Director of Central Intelligence. First, the DCI was responsible for providing national intelligence to the President, members of the President's cabinet (where applicable), and to members of Congress (again where applicable). Second, the DCI would serve as the head of the intelligence community (IC). The DCI was responsible for establishing the priorities for collection and analysis of raw intelligence. The DCI formulated and presented the IC budget to the President and to Congress. The DCI also had very limited ability to transfer funds and personnel throughout the National Foreign Intelligence Program (NFIP). Third, the DCI was to serve as the head of the Central Intelligence Agency. Here the DCI supervised the entire bureaucracy of the CIA. The DCI was in charge of human sources, overseeing the analyzing of raw intelligence, and undertaking covert operations when directed to by the President."

Abstract
The following report aims to investigate if and how a director of a company could be removed from his post under the British law. It deals particularly with the removal of a company's director under the use of the provision of weighted voting and is based on an example of a small private limited company. The paper includes such issues as weighted voting, removal of a director under Sc 168 CA 2006, changing the company's articles, exclusion of a director from the company's management and issue of new shares. Finally, the paper concludes that it is usually very difficult to remove the director.

Outline:
Introduction
Removal of the Director under SC 168 CA 2006
Alteration of the Articles
Exclusion of a Director from Management
Issue of New Shares
Conclusions

From the Paper
''As removal of a director under Sc 168 might be difficult due to the weighted voting clause, an alteration of articles could be considered in order to remove the clause in question. Sc 21 (1) provides that the articles may be altered with a special resolution. 75% of the total votes are required to amend the articles by special resolution (Sc 283) whereby a 21 days notice should be usually given. Hence, in order to pass a special resolution, support from other members of the company would be required.
''Nonetheless, the director could challenge the alteration of articles as not being 'bona fide for the benefit of the company as a whole'. In Allen v Gold Reefs of West Africa (1900) the alteration of the articles was upheld as it was carried out 'bona fide for the benefit of the company as a whole' as it was intended to recover the large debt due to the company from a deceased member. Also Sidebottom v Kershaw, Leese & Co Ltd (1920) the alteration of the articles was allowed in order to enable a competing shareholder to be bought out as this was 'bona fide for the benefit of the company as a whole'.
However, in Brown v British Abrasive Wheel Co Ltd (1919) it was held that the proposed alteration was not for the benefit of the company but for benefit of the majority hence an injunction was granted preventing the alteration of the articles.
''Therefore to decide would be whether a removal of a director whose girlfriend is employed by an indirect competitor, would be bona fide for the benefit of the company. The director could argue that as the two companies produce products for different markets, i.e. traditional beers v mass market beers via different distribution channels this would not be in breach with the company's business ethos.''

From the Paper
"One of the crucial decisions the program director is required to make is the overall format of radio programming in terms of focusing on music (and if so, on what kind or kinds), talk radio (and again, what kind or kinds) based on an accurate understanding of the corresponding needs of advertisers and the listening public within the station's primary market (Paro, 2009). The program director must be able to coordinate the sales pitches and marketing strategy of the advertising sales department with the character, sentiments, political orientation, cultural focus, and the prevailing social circumstances in the marketplace. In that regard, a fully integrated conceptual approach to client negotiations is much more likely to be effective than isolated unit functions in which there is little connection between the program content and the specific marketing concept (Hall & Hall, 2000)."

Abstract
The paper begins with a brief overview of the careers of a unit director and a nurse practitioner by explaining their activities and responsibilities. It then lists the formal educational requirements to become a unit director or a nurse practitioner and explains the ways in which they are trained. The paper then describes the salaries and benefits earned by the two professions and the number of hours that they are expected to work. The paper concludes by explaining the job satisfaction experienced by the two types of nurses.

From the Paper
"Certified nurse practitioners overall receive what most people would consider to be a good salary and as well as better-than-average benefits. We can see this documented in a recent posting by the state of Oregon for nurse practitioners. These nurse practitioners, who were wanted to work in a wide variety of settings, could receive a salary of up to $5,129 per month depending on their own training and experience."

Abstract
The paper introduces the topic with a look at Robert Phillip Kolker's "The Altering Eye", which considers some of the economic and social forces that apply in different countries to shape their film. It then examines the life and work of director Pedro Almodovar as an example of these theories at work in Spain. It suggests that Almodovar's success was dependent on the social and political changes in Spain, namely the end of the fascist era and a move toward democracy.

From the Paper
"Film is an international medium in spite of language differences, and different countries come to the fore at different times to make a mark both artistic and economic on the world cinema. After world War II, Italian neo-realism burst onto the scene, followed in the early 1960s by the French New Wave. In the 1970s it was a combination of films from Australia and films from West Germany, the latter led by Rainer Werner Fassbinder. More recently, Spain has become a contributor to the screens of the world, with the leading filmmaker of the time being Pedro Almodovar, in some ways an unlikely leader given his penchant for bizarre sexual themes, iconoclastic attitudes, and searing satiric humor."

From the Paper
"In my position as Marketing Director of the Pittsburg Powerhouse women's basketball team, it is my prerogative to advance not only the popularity of the team. In conjunction with marketing internally for the team it is also my responsibility to advance women's basketball in general, alongside the National Women's Basketball League. To this end I have identified the Hispanic market as an opportunity at potential expansion, in that there is a considerable fan-base of this ethnic background within the area, as well as a growing interest amongst this demographic. There is an upcoming tournament in the area which will involve all four teams within the farm-league that the Powerhouse is part of alongside two of the NWBL teams to which these players are drafted into should they be so talented. Through my efforts I intend upon marketing this tournament considerably, utilizing leadership techniques in conjunction with my political perspective to motivate my contemporary marketing directors for the other teams, while also winning over new fans."

Abstract
This paper is written as a creative writing piece. It presents instructions for a director for shooting a movie that begins on an airplane. It describes the scenery, the types of shots that should be taken and how the characters should be positioned in the shots. The paper presents details for three scenes in this short movie.

Table of Contents:
Airplane Scene One
Scene Two: Having fun in Europe
Final scene

From the Paper
"The next scene spins in showing dancers with the mountains visible out the windows but only lit by the lights of the slopes. We identify the couple as they dance by the camera and the next scene spins in showing a 45 degree angle shot of the couple at a table is a nice restaurant with a different view out the window. The lighting is romantically low and warm, but not dark. The story action can be continued here, as the camera moves to full frontal table shot and then dollies in until we have full frontal couple shot. The camera angles alternate between full frontal couple, and individual head and shoulder shots as they talk while drinking wine and sampling hors d'ouvres. They are seated almost as closely as the airline seats enforces. Outside the large windows it is dusk and we see a cityscape of Paris."

Abstract
This paper explains that, although Steven Soderbergh has had prize-winning commercial film successes such as "Traffic", "Erin Brockovich", "Ocean's Eleven", "Ocean's Twelve", "Syriana" and "Sex, Lies and Videotape", he also is known for his art house films such as "The Limey". The author relates that, born in 1963, Soderbergh, who began filmmaking when he was only 13, was the youngest producer or director to win the Palme d'Or award at the Cannes Film Festival, which he was awarded in 1989 for "Sex, Lies and Videotape". The paper relates that Soderbergh's seminal filmmaking techniques include the use of non-linear narratives to show different perspectives, a docudrama filming style that creates an aura of reality and the use of pastoral scenery.

From the Paper
"In the new millennium, Soderbergh has hit it big with success such as "Erin Brockovich", "Traffic" and "Syriana". "Erin Brockovich", a movie that portrays the real-life Erin Brockovich, only through a sexier Julia Roberts, tells of an assertive woman who, without a legal education, managed to sue and claim victory over Pacific Gas & Electric Corporation. The lawsuit was the largest civil penalty ever awarded at that time in 1996, and the film went on to be nominated for Best Picture."

Abstract
This paper looks at the importance of a leadership skills for a director within a community child-care center. It discusses issues such as communication, motivation and differences between managers and leaders.

From the Paper
"Child care centers are more than physical structures performing specific functions. They are also complex social systems with intricate networks of relationships. As in other human service organizations, success in a child care center depends on the quality of personal interactions. If the center is healthy, it is continually growing, adapting to change and effectively utilizing its most valuable resource, its people. Such an environment sends to staff, children, parents and community a feeling of warmth and genuine concern. Although achieving this kind of positive atmosphere does not occur by accident. It is the product of carefully exercised management and leadership (Jorde-Bloom, 1982, 216). Traditionally, it is the Director of the center who sets the emotional environment of the organization. As its most visible leader, the director must balance short-term needs with long-term goals and create an environment based on mutual respect in which people will grow and be nurtured."
