...Jalissa H. Professor Green History 101 INCAS The Incas became a definite group near present-day Cuzco around 1200CE. They were American Indian people. They were a small tribe in the Southern highlands of Peru. It was not until about 1400 tht they expanded and became one of the largest and morst tighly guarded empires the worl has ever known, under Pachacuti Inca. About 1532, the Spanish had arrived, at the time their empire was known as TYawantinsuyu. This is also known as the four Quarters, which spreed across the Northern Ecuador to the Central Chile, spanning some 3,500 kilometers in distance. Their skilld in governmebt matched their feat in engineering. They constructed roads, walls, irrigation system which is still being utilized in our society today. In 1532 the Spanish conquerors captured the Inca empires and it began to crumble. The Incas came out of conflicts between a number of competing communities in Southern Peru and Bolivia. It was the help of the military that caused success against the Chanca. This caused the Inca to believe they were under the protection of the sun God, Inti. Inti was known for being the emperor who was an earthly manifestation. The Incas thought they were on an all-powerful assignment to bring the civilization to those they had defeated. They inhabited some of the world’s arid dessert. Close by were the flat coastal lands and the jagged peaks of the Andes Mountain. The natives lived under the rule of one man, the emperor they called...

...This assignment was designed put us, the student in a situation where we are placed in the supervisor position. In this assignment put the supervisor in a position of having to pick and choose what tasks to do themselves and what tasks should be delegated out after coming in and finding their basket full of tasks that need to be dealt with. When you obtain the position of supervisor, there is usually far too much for just you to do, therefore it is important to learn what to delegate and who to delegate it to. The most important tasks should be done by the supervisor but as far as things such as someone’s vacation hours and stocking merchandise for the store, those tasks should be delegated out to the assistant manager and to the store clerks. Being a supervisor means being in a role of leadership, logic, common sense, and decision making for yourself, the employees, and for the company. The “in Basket” debate and discussion gives us and our fellow classmates the opportunity to see if we can successfully delegate out certain tasks as a supervisor at a fictitious company. The discussion between me and fellow classmates was a great one and it appeared as though everyone agreed on everything accept for different incidents. The only two incidents where I came across disagreement were in regards to task number 3, and task number 4. These are the examples in which I will be using in this paper as far as disagreeing is concerned. Task number 3 is in regards to the mall hours changing...

...1958–75: Early life and The Jackson 5 Michael Jackson was born the seventh of nine children on August 29, 1958 in Gary, Indiana, an industrial suburb of Chicago, to an African American working-class family. His mother, Katherine Esther Scruse, was a devout Jehovah's Witness, and his father, Joseph Walter "Joe" Jackson, a steel mill worker who performed with an R&B band called The Falcons. Jackson had three sisters: Rebbie, La Toya, and Janet, and five brothers: Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon, and Randy.[3] Jackson had a troubled relationship with his father. He stated that he was physically and emotionally abused during incessant rehearsals, whippings, and name-calling, though he credited his father's discipline for his success.[4] In one altercation recalled by Marlon, Joseph held Michael upside down by one leg and "pummeled him over and over again with his hand, hitting him on his back and buttocks".[5] Joseph would also trip or push his sons into walls. One night while Michael was asleep, Joseph climbed into his room through the bedroom window, wearing a fright mask and screaming. He said he wanted to teach the children not to leave the window open when they went to sleep. For years afterward, Jackson said he suffered nightmares about being kidnapped from his bedroom.[5] Joseph acknowledged in 2003 that he regularly whipped Jackson as a child.[6] Jackson first spoke openly about his childhood abuse in an interview with Oprah Winfrey broadcast on February 10, 1993.

...Ariel Torrente NT1110 Unit 5 Analysis Pentium Flaw Ariel Torrente NT1110 Unit 5 Analysis 7/27/2013 Pentium Flaw The Pentium flaw also nicknamed the Pentium FDIV bug, was an identified error in the Intel P5 Pentium floating unit. The presence of the bug can be checked manually by performing the following application that uses native floating numbers, including Windows Calculator or Microsoft Excel in Windows 95/98 (Pentium FDIV bug). The Pentium flaw was discovered byProfessor Thomas R.Nicely at Lynchburg Collwge,Virginia USA (Emery, Vince). Dr.Thomas R Nicely is a mathematic professor, noticed a small difference in two sets of numbers, he always double-checks his work by computing everything twice, two different ways (Emery, Vince). Dr.Nicely spent months successively eliminating possible causes such as PCI bus errors and compiler artifacts (Emery, Vince). Intel wanted to keep to keep the Pentium flaw a secret, after Intel testers discovered a division error in the Pentium chip (Emery, Vince). Intel managers decided that the error wouldn’t affect many people, therefore no one outside of the company was not informed (Emery, Vince). The pandemonium over Intel’s Pentium chip cost the company millions of dollars and could have been prevented and became an uproar on the internet (Emery, Vince). This was Intel’s first mistake and the company was given a reputation that made Intel not a trustworthy company and not disclosing that information made them seem to be hiding a...

...Extract from a 3,000 year-old papyrus. She is one girl, there is no one like her. She is more beautiful than any other. Look, she is like a star goddess arising at the beginning of a happy new year; brilliantly white, bright skinned; with beautiful eyes for looking, with sweet lips for speaking; she has not one phrase too many. With a long neck and white breast, her hair of genuine lapis lazuli; her arm more brilliant than gold; her fingers like lotus flowers, with heavy buttocks and girt waist. Her thighs offer her beauty, with a brisk step she treads on ground. She has captured my heart in her embrace. She makes all men turn their necks to look at her. One looks at her passing by, this one, the unique one. * She never let it goes to her heart by Tim McGraw It Is Her Love That Gives Me Strength My sister's love is on the far side. The river is between our bodies; The waters are mighty at flood-time, A crocodile waits in the shallows. I enter the water and brave the waves, My heart is strong on the deep; The crocodile seems like a mouse to me, The flood as land to my feet. It is her love that gives me strength, It makes a water-spell for me; I gaze at my heart's desire, As she stands facing me! My sister has come, my heart exults, My arms spread out to embrace her; My heart bounds in its place, Like the red fish in its pond. O night, be mine forever, ...

Dr. Conrad Murray was hired by concert promoters to serve as Michael Jackson’s personal physician. He was paid $150,000 a month to ensure that Mr. Jackson was well enough to withstand the strenuous rehearsals and grueling schedule of his sold out comeback concerts. The doctor was with the pop star six nights a week, helping him sleep. Mr. Jackson died June 25, 2009 of an apparent overdose. The prosecutors in the case, David Walgren and Deborah Brazil, both Los Angeles deputy district attorneys who, in their opening argument, told jurors that "misplaced trust in the hands of Conrad Murray cost Michael Jackson his life."The Los Angeles County coroner’s office determined that Michael Jackson died of acute propofol poisoning. Propofol is a drug that reduces anxiety and tension, and promotes relaxation and sleep or loss of consciousness. Propofol provides loss of awareness for short diagnostic tests and surgical procedures, sleep at the beginning of surgery, and supplement...

...Essay Mistakes Since attending the University of Houston, I have written ten essays for English. In the beginning I was a little nervous about writing for college; however, now I am more relaxed about my writing. Reviewing those essay I have notice several errors I continuously made; comma splices and using there and their incorrectly. “A pregnancy at a young age, could rob you of your youth, the phrase, a baby with a baby, comes to mind.” This an example of one of the comma errors I have made on essays. Common splices occur when you use commas when they are not needed. To correct the example above; I would rewrite the sentence to read as follows: A pregnancy at a young age could rob you of your youth, “A baby with a baby” comes to mind. Using the words “there and their” in the incorrect form is another error I continuously made. The essays I have written thus far I have used these word incorrectly twelve times. To correct these errors, I should first know what each word means. There, is at or in a place. There is also used in clauses which the real subject follows the verb for example; Burning calories isn’t easy but there are soothing exercises available. The definition for “their” is belonging to, made by or done by them. The boys went with their father is an example of their used correctly. Other errors I have made during essay writing are fragments and run ons. A fragment is an incomplete part. Michael Jackson began performing at age thirteen is...

What is the responsibility of each part in order to maintain a smooth flow of material? Procurement and Contracts: Should be responsible to amend the agreement that clearly defines what the service level requirements are, sets out the change control mechanism, the communication protocol and representative of both parties and review the agreement in conjunction with the supplier to remove any ambiguity. Category Management: Should be responsible for developing a SQM that will allow provide both parties with a forum to work in partnership and set targets and KPIs. Material Management: Should be responsible to understand the required and forecast inventory stocks and coordinate accordingly. Logistics: Should be responsible for transporting the product through the supply chain. 2. What initially appears to be the problem? What really is the problem(s) in this case? The problem initially appears to be that the vendor is not meeting the expected performance level required by the customer. However the problem is not with the vendor rather within Avion. It appears that the company does not have appropriate cross function engagement, rather working in silos. There is no obvious communication structure whereby the SCM understands the scope requirements and can translate this to the vendor. Also following contract award it is not clear what...

...Case Study CJS/240 Tamekia Simmons RubyR. Myers Case Study There could be many different reasons why caseworkers were not aware of the conditions of the Jackson home. One is because they never talked to the children and seemed to only talk to Raymond and Vanessa Jackson. Something else is the Jakson's could of hide the boys or made the boys hide when the caseworkers came over to the home. Another condition is that the caseworkers did not really look at the home to make sure that there was food and other necessities the children needed. Just like with their power being turned off for five months the caseworker should of done something then instead of just praying for them. In my own opinion all nine members of Division of Youth and Family Services staff did need to be fired. There are many different reasons that I believe this. However, one of the main reasons that I believe this is because they never really paid attention to what the surroundings was like for the children. Just like letting the Jackson's getting away with not having power for five months or paying attention to how much food and things are in the home. In all honesty I think that justice was served to a point. However, Vanessa should not have been offered the chance for parole just after serving two years of her seven year sentence, in my own opinion. If she was to get parole offered to her I believe that it should of been offered five or six years had been served...
