Slaid 1. Henry Ford
Henry Ford in the eyes of of many, the leading figure of modern capitalism: he gave us Fordism- not just the a way of manufacturing but a new form of intustrial organisation . Indeed, according to Henry himself , he ’ invented the modern age’. His vision was that all his employees could afford his products . He also invented the modern corporation- yet the Ford Motor Company was almsot wholly driven by the needs of production . Finance , marketing, cost accounting, managerial structure, and all the other accoutrements of modern corporations were of little or no intrest to Henry Ford. Henry Ford also regarded himself as a leader of the American people- as indeed were all business people in his eyes. But his belief that he understood the people better than their political leaders is best represented by his claim during prohibition. For Ford, at least early on, the seduction of wages still required its opposite for effective motivation- morality ; workers had to be shown how to behave and what to do with their new- found wealth. In sum, Ford sought of dominate his workers, just as he dominated his managers and family. Domination, or, if neccessary , a battle of attraction until he achieved domination, was just about the only organizational tactic that Ford used.
Slaid 2. Peace ship versus Warship
Ford insisted that he would give up his entire fortune, estimateted at over $30 million, if it would bring peace to the world. He even offered prizes and investments for peaceful endeavours of various kinds. By 1917, even though Ford remained commited to peace, the German announcement of unrestricted submarine warfare against all shipping suspected of carrying material to the allied side led Ford to do an about turn . Instead of executing his original threat to burn down Highland Park rather than use it for war, he asserted that the entire plant would be turned over for war production. With this move Ford made $29 million dollars profit , although he promised to not take a cent of ’ blood money’.
Slaid 3. Depressions and Downsizings
The cash -flow crises caught Ford dangerously in 1921. He had to change a lot, not to say everythin. He slashed car prizes and cut administration staff but it wasn’t enough. Ford had to close down the Company to remove his financial crises. After a couple of months they reopened the Company but 20,000 of Ford’s 70,000 emplyees were not rehired, including the entire Sociological Department . By 1923 car sales had topped 2 million and well over half the cars built in the world were Ford’s. In 26th of May 1927 Henry Ford, with his son, drove what was to be the last of 15 million Model Ts off the Highland Park assembly line. Sixty thousand Ford workers in Detroit were left without work for six months until the new Model A was unveiled in December 1927. His anarchic management structure- such as it existed- and lack of experience in developing new model threw the company into chaos. Resolving that chaos cost a fortune, perhaps as much as $250 million in terms of lost sales as well as setting up the costs for new model. Ford was a great engineer and an even better enterpreuner, but he was not a great manager of organisational change.
Conclusion
Ford was unique , neither a professional engineer nor a scientist but more a ’mechanically minded inventor’. He made profit out of nothing but just with one crazy idea. He loved the risks and it justified itself. He knew exactly when to make a big turn and this was what made him as we know Henry Ford today .

that the angel has just given her. "The Beloved ( The Bride)" 1865-6- In this picture sensuality was very important. In this painting the biblical reference is to the Song of Solomon: "My beloved is mine and I am his. Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine." The model for the young woman, showing herself to her betrothed(kihlatud) surrounded by her friends and a young black girl, was a girl called Maria Ford. "The Lady of Pity"( 1875)-It is a typically romantic view of Jane Morris as Rossetti saw her, with her grey eyes, full lips and abundant hair all emphasized. Rossetti had a close but not physical relationship with the wife of his friend William Morris. In the scroll under the portrait Rossetti, who was of Italian origin, has written "color d´amore e di pieta sembiante" ( the colour of love and appearance of pity). Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones ( 1833- 98)

American Literature

There are picturesque "local color" elements in Washington Irving's essays and especially his travel books. Edgar Allan Poe's tales of the macabre and his balladic poetry were more influential in France than at home, but the romantic American novel developed fully with the atmosphere and melodrama of Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter (1850). Later Transcendentalist writers such as Henry David Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emerson still show elements of its influence and imagination, as does the romantic realism of Walt Whitman. The poetry of Emily Dickinson--nearly unread in her own time--and Herman Melville's novel MobyDick can be taken as epitomes of American Romantic literature. By the 1880s, however, psychological and social realism was competing with romanticism in the novel.

It replaced the native ruling class with a foreign, French-speaking monarchy, aristocracy and clerical hierarchy. This in turn brought about a transformation of the English language and the culture of England. As the rulers were from France, England linked more closely with continental Europe. It also paved the way for further Norman invasions in Wales and Ireland. *The House of Normandy (kings, centuries) ­ William I Conqueror (11th century), William II Rufus, Henry I (12th century). To claim the English crown, William I invaded England leading an army of Normans to victory over the Anglo-Saxon forces at the Battle of Hastings. His reign brought Norman culture to England and had an enormous impact on the course of England in the Middle Ages. William II was an effective soldier, but a ruthless ruler. Henry I had scholarly interests. His reign is noted for its political opportunism.

MAGIC'S solution of the Japanese one o'clock delivery message He then busied himself in his office, working on intercepted traffic, until 9:30, when he left to deliver the 14th part of Tokyo's reply to Admiral Harold F. Stark, the Chief of Naval Operations, to the White House, and to Frank Knox, the Secretary of the Navy. Knox was meeting at 10 a.m. that Sunday morning in the State Department with Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson and Secretary of State Cordell Hull to discuss the critical nature of the American negotiations with Japan, which, they knew from the previous 13 parts, had virtually reached an impasse. Kramer returned to his office about 10:20, where the translation of the message referring to the one o'clock delivery had arrived from S.I.S. while he was on his rounds. Its import crashed in upon him at once. It called for the rupture of

The Middle Ages

Now the king's laws were in force everywhere. In 1157 he forced Malcolm IV of Scotland to give up border regions to England. In 1171 he went to Ireland, took it under his rule & made his son John, Lord of Ireland. When he got the throne there had been a civil war between his mother Matilda & uncle Stephen. There was also Church who had become too powerful. The Church wanted the kings of Europe to accept its authority over both spiritual & earthy affairs. Conflict between Henry & Church. He chose his trusted adviser, Thomas Becket, to become archbishop in 1162, but he began to defend the Church. Henry saw him as a traitor, lost his temper. He is said to have exclaimed ,,Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?" 4 knights killed Becket on the altar steps. The murder shocked. The Pope made Becket a saint. Canterbury became a shrine. Henry himself made a pilgrimage to Canterbury, walked barefoot through the town and was flogged by bishops at his request.
