Reflection on Mansoor’s presentation
Date: 20.05.2012
Time: 1100
Venue: W103A
Topic: car safety
Mansoor introduced the presentation by asking the audience what do they do when they get into their cars. He then talked about different types of safety; seat belt, tires check, system check, etc.
The role of tires and how important they should get checked every once in a while, as was the responsibility of the media as a cause of street racing which led into so many accidents.
Body language and eye contact were fine. Mansoor had one problem which was that sometimes he was blocking the slideshow; other than that it was good. The audience were interested with what Mansoor was presenting because all of them drive a car and they learned new things as well. He was able to answer all the questions that came from the audience and the instructor; the reason is because Mansoor chose a topic that he was interested in.
The slides were interesting and informative, with minimum amount of words.
What new did I learn?
1. I used to always get confused to figure out when I should replace my tires but Mansoor explained that for me by telling me a few steps, for example; check the tread on the tire, read the letters which have been typed on the tire, etc.
2. Mansoor is an idol to me when it comes to driving because he owns sport cars but when he wants to race he doesn’t do it on the streets he goes to Yas Marina circuit which is specially made for these reasons.
Overall, the presentation was educational and entertaining.

Presenters: Sultan & Jassim
Subject:Anna Maria Tussaud-Madame Tussaud's museum
Location: W103A
Presenters: Sultan & Jassim
Subject:Anna Maria Tussaud-Madame Tussaud's museum
Sultan opened the presentation with a slide showing a picture of Anna Maria Tussaud. He identified her to the audience by telling them her place of birth and where she was originally from. He went on to show who taught her how to make a wax statue and where she got to know Dr.Philippe Curtius. The slides were showing pictures of the first wax statue made by Anna and Dr.Philippe.Then he moved to what happened to her during the French revolution and where she took her family to avoid the trouble from the revolution.
Jassim concentrated on Madame Tussaud's museum in London & different locations around the world. He showed pictures of the main museums.
Body language: for Sultan he showed that he knows about what he was talking about since he visited one of the museums and that got us to know how knowledgeable and confidant he is. Jassim's start showed that he was hesitating for a while then he became better after reacting with the audience.
Questions:both students were good when questions were asked during or after the presentation. They both showed that they knew what they were presenting and they had our interest because they were able to answer all the different questions from the audience.

Hamoud Jassim, H00216667, Secretary
Ahmed Hasan, H00213896, Participant
Abdulla Abdo, H00213884, Participant
Abdulla Ali opened the meeting in an appropriate manner & introduced the items on the agenda clearly. He directed the meeting successfully from one item to the next.The problem under discussion was child slavery (Kony 2012).
The first item to be discussed was society awareness. Abdulla Ali: the idea of letting people around the world to know about the problem is really important to solve it. Ahmed Hasan gave a couple of ideas how to do it and they were really helpful.
Another main point that was discussed is collecting donations; the chairman gave them ideas about how it is going to happen and what people will get back for their donations so that they won't feel the money they spent went to waste.Hedley: I would like to see one of those kit boxes whenever it's available.
One of the main concerns we faced was how to get the people know that we are there to help them not to take over their country.Hedley: the idea of having a stranger who lives among them and he says that he wants to help them might be a bit difficult for them to understand.The chairman replies to that: we will try to get the help of the Ugandan army and they will be leading the force we send with the force sent from other countries in the Congo; adding to that we are telling them what to do in case they faced Kony's army; hopefully all that will help ending this dilemma.
In the end of the meeting the recommendations that we reached are:
1-We are going the spread the word around and try to let everyone know about it.
2-The box kit will be given to every donor whether it was big or small.
3-The Ugandan army leader is an essential way to get the Ugandans' trust
4-Telling the people what to do when they face the problem is an effective way and it will help them and their families.

Abdulla opened the meeting at 10:30AM in an appropriate manner & introduced the items on the agenda clearly. He directed the meeting successfully from 1 item to the next.The problem under discussion was child slavery.
1.Society awareness
Ahmed Hassan agreed on that and added that we should do whatever it takes to get the people in this world to know about Kony and what's happening in Uganda.Hedley gave us an idea that we can use the internet to make people aware about sharing videos and links through YouTube and social networks.The chairman agreed with them and he added ideas such as printing flyers and giving away Kony shirts.
Hedley was worried about the cost of these materials and the chairman replied that we got the support of a few printing companies which will provide us with all that for no cost.
2.Collecting donations
Ahmed Hasan suggested that we can get a small donation from the T-shirts with the picture of Kony on them;the chairman liked the idea that was given by Ahmed and added that they are going to make a kit box which will be having a T-shirt, two bracelets and a couple of posters that will be given away, whenever there is a donation made and that will help us to get other people to know about whats happening in Uganda.
3.Building an amry
Hedley didn't like the idea of building an army because he thinks that there is no one can be the leader of this army,and he was worried about what Ugandans will think when they see an outsider try to take over their country.The chairman agreed with Hedley and added that the leader will come from the Ugandans and hopefully when they see that they will get to know our good intentions that we just want to help them and nothing else. Ahmed said the army will be built from Ugandan soldiers first then the help we got from the USA and the leader will be chosen by Ugandans.
4.Educate our children
Ahmed said that his main concern is to get his daughter to know about the dangers of the world she's living in and show her that we are trying to make the world better for the coming generations.
5. Show Uganda that we care
The chairman said that we want to show Uganda how much we are concerned about them and they have our sympathy.After that Ahmad said the only way to show them that is by using the donations to build schools, hospitals and radio stations all over the country; Hedley and the chairman liked that idea and they think it will show them that we are there to help them.
6.Force the authorities
Everyone in the meeting found that it is hopeless, because we already tried to talk to the UN and the White House but they didn't move a limb, but when the authorities see the amount of people that care about this cause hopefully they will send more forces to help us.
7.Alert the people and give them precautions
As mentioned before by Ahmed the donations will help us in building schools, hospitals and radio stations; the reason that comes behind building radio stations is that they will help you track Kony, know where he is attacking and where he's going to be in the future.The chairman added that we will help building underground shelters that will protect women and children from Kony's attacks.
-In the end we reached the conclusion of:
1- We are going to share videos on YouTube and post messeges on social websites.
2- The box kit will be distributed all over the over to the donors.
3- Building an army isn't going to be easy without the help of Ugandans but we will do our best.
4- Teaching our kids and let them know what's happening around them.
5- When enough donations are collected we do immediate actions of building and providing the Ugandans with all the help to show them that we are still on our word.
6- We maybe aren't getting the help from the authorities but that is not going to stop us.
7- Teach the Ugandans how to protect their families and prevent Kony's attacks.

Interviews Reflections
Date: Sunday Feb 19th 2012
Time: 0915
Location: Elite Class
Interviewee: Ahmed Saleh
Interviewers: Hedley, Saleh and Hammam
Position: Chemical Engineer
Hedley started by greeting the interviewee, introducing himself and the other interviewers.
Ahmed started by greeting them back and telling them about himself, his background and education.
Saleh began asking the questions and his first one was: why did he leave his previous job? Ahmed answered that the salary he was taking from his old company was low and he's seeking a higher salary. The second question was what's his greatest strength? The interviewee replied with more than one answer, that the experience he got from his old job will qualify him in this one and he is understanding others.
Then Hammam took his turn and his first question was, why should I hire you? Ahmed knows how to communicate with his colleagues, share his knowledge with them and learn from them as well.
The interview was concluded by Ahmed asking a few technical quesntions and Hammam was able to answer them and that shows how educated Ahmed is.
Date: Tuesday Feb 21st 2012
Time: 0815
Location: Elite Class
Interviewee: Hammam
Interviewers: Hedley, Saleh and Rashed
Position: Chemical Engineer
With the warm greetings from Hedley and his team, they started the second day of interviews and it was a unique interviewee.
Hammam's expressions were showing how confidant he is and how he can deal with stress.
The interviewee began telling the interviewers about himself; right after that Saleh was the first in asking; his question was: can you work under pressure? The reply was that Hammam was working with emergency shut down before in his previous job and working with that needs the person to be focussed and sure.
Rashed then asked the interviewee about him working nights and on weekends? Hammam's previous job was making him work for 4 days 12 hours shift, 2 morning shifts 2 night shifts and most of these working days were at weekends.
In the end from my point of view I would hire Hammam because I think he is a hard worker and learns quickly, so I would hire him if I was having that job opening.
