Skills, Abilities, and Job Satisfaction in &Quot;Monk&Quot;, S04E04 SKILLS, ABILITIES, AND JOB SATISFACTION IN MONK, S04E04, MR. MONK GOES TO THE OFFICE Adrian Monk was a brilliant detective for the San Francisco Police Department until his wife, Trudy, was killed by a car bomb in a parking garage, which Monk then believed was intended for him. He later believes that Trudy's death was part of a larger conspiracy that she had uncovered during her time as a journalist. Trudy's death led Monk to suffer a nervous breakdown. He was discharged from the force and became a recluse, refusing to leave his house for over three years. He is finally able to leave the house with the help of his nurse, Sharona Fleming (Bitty Schram). The breakthrough allows him to work as a private detective and a consultant for the homicide unit despite limitations rooted in his obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), which had grown significantly worse after the tragedy. Monk's compulsive habits are numerous, and a number of phobias compound– his situation, such as his fear of germs. Monk has 312 fears, some of which are milk, ladybugs, harmonicas, heights, imperfection, and risk. The OCD and plethora of phobias inevitably lead to very awkward situations and cause problems for Monk and anyone around him, as he investigates cases. These same personal struggles, particularly the OCD, are what aid him in solving cases, such as his sharp memory, specific mindset and attention to detail. In one episode entitled "Mr. Monk and His Biggest Fan", Marci Maven (Sarah Silverman) has compiled a list of all of Adrian's fears. On another episode, he tries to conquer his fears by doing various activities which involved his phobias. For example, he tries drinking milk, climbing a ladder, and putting a ladybug on his hand, but when things are scattered unorganized across a table, he cannot resist the compulsion to arrange them neatly. Captain Leland Stottlemeyer (Ted Levine) and Lieutenant Randall "Randy" Disher (Jason Gray-Stanford) call on Monk when they have trouble with an investigation. Stottlemeyer is often irritated by Monk's behavior, but respects his friend and former colleague's amazing insight and observational abilities, as does Disher. Ever since childhood, Monk's obsessive attention to detail allowed him to spot tiny discrepancies, find patterns, and make connections that others often missed. Monk continues to search for information about his wife's death, the one case that he has been unable to solve, and eventually succeeds in the series finale. In the middle of season 3, Sharona decides to re-marry her ex-husband and move back to New Jersey, prompting Mr. Monk to hire Natalie Teeger (Traylor Howard) as his new assistant. Natalie is a widow and mother of an eleven-year-old daughter. CAST OF CHARACTERS 1 Starling D. Hunter III © 2012 | [email protected]| Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar | http://qatar.cmu.edu Adrian Monk, portrayed by Tony Shalhoub, is a former homicide detective and a current consultant for the San Francisco Police Department. He has an extreme case of obsessive-compulsive disorder, and is well-known for his various fears and phobias, including, but certainly not limited to, heights, snakes, crowds, and milk. His wife, Trudy, was murdered in 1997, and he is haunted by her death (and the fact that it was unsolved) until he finally solves it in the series finale. He is the only character to appear in every single episode of the series. Natalie Teeger, portrayed by Traylor Howard (seasons 3-8), is Monk's second and final assistant. She is significantly less forceful than Sharona, and always refers to Monk as "Mr. Monk." She and her daughter Julie live alone. Unlike Sharona, she dresses more primly, and is less inclined to assume a nonchalant attitude. Mitch, her late husband, was shot down over Kosovo in 1998. She first appeared in "Mr. Monk and the Red Herring" (3.10). She is also the narrator of a series of novels based on Monk and written by Lee Goldberg. Captain Leland Francis Stottlemeyer, portrayed by Ted Levine, is the head of the Homicide Division of the San Francisco Police Department. He and Monk have been good friends since Monk was on the police force, and continues to be Monk's friend throughout the series. He does his best to help Monk, but is occasionally annoyed by Monk's phobias and the damage they can cause. Lieutenant Randy Disher, portrayed by Jason Gray-Stanford, is a lieutenant in the Homicide Division of the SFPD. He is very naive, is often portrayed as unintelligent, and is known for his outrageous theories. The other characters are often irritated by him, but they also obviously care about him. In season 8, he is seen kissing Sharona. In the the series finale, he becomes chief of the Summit, New Jersey Police Department, where he lives with Sharona. Sharona Fleming, portrayed by Bitty Schram (seasons 1-3), is Monk's nurse, and later becomes his first assistant. She refuses to baby him, often forcing him to do things that are unpleasant to him, even going so far as to refer to her boss by his first name. Then, she suddenly re-marries her ex-husband and moves to New Jersey midway through the third season, leaving only a note.i EPISODE RECAP A parking garage attendant, Ronnie, confronts a man who appears to be repairing a flat tire on a car which the attendant knows belongs to someone else. When Ronnie threatens to call the police, a fight ensues and Ronnie is shot dead by the mystery man. Shortly thereafter a stock analyst by the name of Warren Kemp arrives in the garage and discovers that Ronnie is missing. Kemp is then attacked from behind but the mystery man does not want to kill Kemp: he only wants to break his hand, specifically the right and not the left hand. Detectives Stottlemeyer and Disher are assigned the case and they call in former Detectivehis right hand. Adrian He’s Monk very as specific a consultant. about that—Before being taken to hospital, Kemp sends word via a param meet with Monk and his assistant Natalie in his Monk AND Natalie.

After much flirting between between Kem 2 Starling D. Hunter III © 2012 | [email protected]| Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar | http://qatar.cmu.edu and Natalie, Kemp asks Monk to go undercover as an office worker as an investment analyst from Chicago. Happy for the chance to be like everybody else and do the same job every day, Monk contentedly cleans up his co-workers' cubicles— and retypes their reports, earning himself a place in what he calls the office "gang" as he searches for clues to the identity of Kemp's assailant. Initially, Monk suspicions fall on the unpleasant and unpopular Chilton Handy, who, like the perpetrator (and Captain Stottlemeyer), chews toothpicks, and whose obsession with winning’s the office bowling tournament could provide a motive for injuring Kemp's right hand. Meanwhile, Natalie's suspicions fall on Kemp himself when a secret she had confided in him appears in an e-mail sent to all the office employees. Just as Monk discovers an alibi for Chilton and needs a new lead, he manages to alienate his co-workers by causing them to forfeit a bowling tournament. Worse still, the case takes a grim turn as the interior decorator Kemp has hired is murdered. The evidence points to the same man, but Monk must find out who and why without the cooperation of the office staff.ii DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. What of the following mental abilities does Mr. Monk demonstrate flexibility, fluency, inductive reasoning, associative memory, span memory, number facility, perceptual speed, deductive reasoning, spatial orientation and visualization,— and verbal comprehension? 2. Are any of these abilities attributable to demographic factors such as race or gender? 3. Does Mr. Monk s emotional intelligence match his intellect? 4.

  • "Art" Monk Years
    Name: James Arthur "Art" Monk Years: December 5, 1957 to Present Residence: White Plains, New York Brief Biography: Born in White Plains, Art Monk had a passion for sports and particularly excelled in football while attending White Plains High School. With good grades and the support of his coach, Monk won a full scholarship to Syracuse University. At Syracuse University, Monk was a four-year Orangemen letter winner (1976-79). He led the team in receiving in 1977, 1978 and 1979 and still ranks in the top 10 on several school career record lists, including career receptions (sixth), all-time receiving yards (seventh) and receiving yards per game (ninth). Monk was drafted in the first round of the 1980 NFL Draft by the Washington Redskins. During his rookie year, Monk was a unanimous All-Rookie selection and set a new Redskins rookie record, with 58 receptions. In 1984, Monk caught an NFL record 106 receptions for a career-best 1,372 yards. He caught eight or more passes in six games, had five games of 100 yards or more, and in a game against the San Francisco 49ers caught ten passes for 200 yards, earning him team MVP honors and his first Pro Bowl selection. Monk went over the 1,000-yard mark in each of the following two seasons, becoming the first Redskins receiver to produce three consecutive 1,000 yard seasons. He also became the first Redskins player to catch 70 or more passes in three consecutive seasons. During Monk's 14 seasons with the Redskins, the team won three Super Bowls (XVII, XXII, and XXVI) and had only three losing seasons.

  • MASS TOURISM and the MEDITERRANEAN MONK SEAL
    MASS TOURISM and the MEDITERRANEAN MONK SEAL The role of mass tourism in the decline and possible future extinction of Europe’s most endangered marine mammal, Monachus monachus William M. Johnson & David M. Lavigne International Marine Mammal Association 1474 Gordon Street, Guelph, Ontario, Canada N1L 1C8 ABSTRACT Mass tourism has been implicated in the decline of the Mediterranean monk seal (Monachus monachus) since the 1970s, when scientists first began reviewing the global status of the species. Since then, the scientific literature, recognising the inexorable process of disturbance and loss of habitat that this economic and social activity has produced along extensive stretches of Mediterranean coastline, has consistently identified tourism as among the most significant causes of decline affecting this critically-endangered species. Despite apparent consensus on this point, no serious attempt has been made to assess the tourist industry’s role, or to acknowledge and discuss its moral and financial responsibility, in the continuing decline and possible future extinction of M. monachus. In view of this, The Monachus Guardian 2 (2) November 1999 1 we undertook a review of existing literature to identify specific areas in which tourism has impacted the Mediterranean monk seal. Our results provide compelling evidence that mass tourism has indeed played a major role in the extirpation of the monk seal in several European countries, that it continues to act as a significant force of extinction in the last Mediterranean strongholds of the species, and that the industry exerts a generally negative influence on the design and operation of protected areas in coastal marine habitats. There are compelling reasons to conclude that unless the tourist industry can be persuaded to become an active and constructive partner in monk seal conservation initiatives, it will eventually ensure the extinction of the remaining monk seals in the Mediterranean.

Er pfiff laut und vor allem falsch ein fröhliches Liedchen vor sich hin, zückte seinen nicht gerade sorgsam in der Hosentasche verwahrten Schlüssel, steckte ihn ins Schloss und öffnete die Tür. Er lehnte sich über den Fahrersitz hinweg in den Wagen, deponierte einen Becher Kaffee und eine Papiertüte, in der sich zwei Doughnuts mit Schokoladenüberzug befanden, auf dem Beifahrersitz und befreite sich dann von seiner Jacke, die er auf dem Rücksitz ablegte. Er krempelte die Manschetten seines langärmeligen Hemdes hoch und setzte sich vollkommen arglos hinters Steuer. Anschließend machte er die Autotür zu, ließ den Motor an und fuhr guter Dinge, noch immer mit der gleichen Melodie auf den Lippen, die er nunmehr allerdings vor sich hin summte, los - geradewegs hinein in sein Verderben. Ungefähr eine halbe Stunde früher, etwas weiter entfernt, saß Julie vollkommen verschlafen auf dem Rücksitz von Natalies Auto und schmollte vor sich hin. „Muss das denn unbedingt sein? Warum kann ich denn nicht zuhause bleiben und noch ein wenig länger schlafen?“ „Tut mir leid, Sweety, aber ich habe leider keine andere Wahl.

  • Cpage Paper 5 Marae Sept 30
    2002 - 5 FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Media Ownership Working Group Program Diversity and the Program Selection Process on Broadcast Network Television By Mara Einstein September 2002 Executive Summary: This paper examines the extent to which program diversity has changed over time on prime time, broadcast network television. This issue is assessed using several different measurement techniques and concludes that while program diversity on prime time broadcast network television has fluctuated over time, it is not significantly different today than it was in 1966. The paper also explores the factors used by broadcast networks in recent years in program selection. It finds that networks’ program selection incentives have changed in recent years as networks were permitted to take ownership interests in programming. 2 A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE ON PROGRAM DIVERSITY Mara Einstein Department of Media Studies Queens College City University of New York The views expressed in this paper are those of the author alone and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Federal Communications Commission, any Commissioners, or other staff. 3 Introduction This paper analyzes the correlation between the FCC’s imposition of financial interest and syndication rules and program diversity on prime time broadcast network television. To demonstrate this, diversity will be examined in terms of 1) content diversity (types of programming) and 2) marketplace diversity (suppliers of programming). This analysis suggests that the structural regulation represented by the FCC’s financial interest and syndication rules have not been an effective means of achieving content diversity. Study Methodology By evaluating the content of programming over the periods surrounding the introduction and elimination of the financial interest and syndication rules, we will measure the trend in program diversity during the time when the financial interest and syndication (“fin-syn”) rules were in effect.
