...Google Glass: Possibilities and Problems Prepared for Dr. Helen Waite Director of Research Technology Advisory Group Prepared by Casey Setzer Tushar Arvind Zach Harris Hugh House Research Department Technology Advisory Group December 2014 ------------------------------------------------- MEMORANDUM To: Dr. Helen Waite, Director of Research From: Casey Setzer, Tushar Arvind, Zach Harris, and Hugh House Date: December 6. 2014 ------------------------------------------------- Subject: Google Glass: Possibilities and Problems ------------------------------------------------- Here is the report you requested August 20 on Google Glass’s status as a consumer product. Since our task was to provide advising to the average consumer on both advantages and problems concerning Google’s wearable, our goal was to exterminate all personal bias and provide a report that, while providing informed advice, leaves the consumer armed with the information he/she needs to make an informed and personal purchasing decision. Upon gathering our research, we learned a lot about how committed both Google and other entities are to pushing Project Glass into the consumer electronics arena, and came up with the general conclusion that if a consumer is interested in this bleeding-edge technology, it would probably suit him/her best to wait until the consumer version of this product is announced, with the added features and lower price tag Google has promised en towe. ...

Bibliograhy………………………………………………...……………………………14 APPENDIX A…………………………………………………………………………….……15 1. INTRODUCTION The success of mentoring and the potential use In companies nowadays is due to the developmental partnership through which one person shares knowledge, skills, information and perspective to foster the personal and professional growth of someone else. This project is about mentoring programs and its application. We have started analysing the article assigned in class about career mentoring for women. The article talks about the low number of women who hold senior management positions in U.S companies and opinion of the mentoring programs as a way to increase the number of women in management positions. Then, we decided to study first what is the meaning of mentoring and what it implies. Second we have considered (regarding to the article) the mentoring in minorities and the positive effects that it could have. Finally, we have observed all the benefits that mentoring have in companies, mentors and mentees. 2. WHAT IS MENTORING? Mentoring can be defined as a professional relationship in which the mentor (an experienced person) assists the mentee in developing specific skills, maximise his potential, improve his performance and knowledge that will improve the less-experienced person’s professional and personal growth. It is a partnership...

...with cheaper labor, production costs and regular supply from producers outside the EU. The EU-funded EUPHOROS project increased the efficient use of inputs such as fertilizers and pesticides in protected horticulture. The four-year study, completed in August 2012, developed a sustainable greenhouse system that does not fully rely on fossil fuels for energy and minimizes the carbon footprint of agriculture. The project achieved a 50% reduction in the amount of energy used as well as a sizeable saving of chemical inputs: a third less fertilizers and a tenth less pesticides. The result was a number of structured components that can be used by farmers across the EU, three of which contain innovative tools and systems to reduce energy, water, fertilizer, pesticide consumption and waste. Another intervention optimizes the growing environment, developing innovative and robust monitoring tools. A theoretical analysis was also conducted throughout the project to quantify the reduction of resource inputs and carbon footprint delivered by each component, together with financial and economic consequences. The project identified several energy-saving areas in protected agriculture. “We tried to focus on the most typical greenhouses in Europe. The heated glass house and the plastic multi-tunnel are the most common in the Mediterranean region,” says Dir. Cecilia Stanghellini, project leader of EUPHOROS. “The environmental impact from protected...

...INT1 Task 3 Task 3 Topic: How do different levels of salt water affect magnet strength? Candyce Eckert Western Governors University WGU Student ID: 000431193 PROJECT DESIGN PLAN There will be a total of five 500 ml water samples that are at 75°F and that will have different amounts of salt ranging from 0 ml, 25 ml, 100 ml, 200 ml, 400 ml that will be mixed in a glass container with a one inch high marking noted on the side. Fifteen magnetic paper clips will be laid on the bottom of the container after the solution is mixed. A magnet will then be submersed into the salt solution to the one inch high marking dictated on the side for thirty seconds allowing for the magnet to attract the paper clips. The magnet and subsequent paper clips that it draws will be taken out of the solution, counted, and then recorded. These steps will be repeated until all five salt water solutions are tested. Each of the five solutions will be tested three times in order to deduce the average and ensure reliability of said testing. The greater the number of paper clips picked up deducts greater magnetism. LITERATURE REVIEW In an article written by Richards, Johnson, and Nyeggen (2015), a group of students grappled with the question, “Will Magnets Work Underwater?” some thinking that the water would block the magnetic attraction. They were disproved when magnets still had attraction underneath the water. The students further questioned the attraction...

...The Glass Ceiling July 11, 2011 Overview The glass ceiling still exists despite the fact that the year is now 2011. Ray B. Williams and Lisa Martin wrote an article for Psychology Today about “Why Hasn’t The Glass Ceiling Been Broken?” They discuss that while progress has been made it has been incremental. Even though researchers can show evidence that women executes do a better job then their male counterparts, there are still many women excluded from the highest positions in the corporate world. That for women to break through the leadership at the top has to make the first move. In addition, Amy Masike wrote an article fro The Economist about “The conundrum of the glass ceiling” also stating that women are missing from the corporate hierarchy. She touches on the stereotype that has been assigned to women in the workplace and how difficult it is to get those stereotypes changed. It was not so long ago that women did not even have the right to vote. Today women are allowed in nearly every field of competition and their rights, at least on paper, are equal to men’s rights. In 1986, the Wall Street Journal made popular the term “glass ceiling” which described the invisible barriers that women have to face as they approach the top of the corporate hierarchy. This glass ceiling has even branched out into “glass elevators” and “glass escalators”. This ceiling enables a woman to move ahead in the working world, but only so far, and no farther. Hence, the new terminology...

...The World of Mass Media From Its Beginning To Its Predicted State In 2020 The History of Mass Media The birth of the mass media begins with print media, which includes books, magazines and newspapers. Books are considered the oldest form of media as it exists since the invention of writing systems and they were copied by hand till middle 15th century. Books were used mostly to store religious and sacred writings, so they were hardly considered as a mass medium. As time passed, the techniques of printing were developed. Many sources claimed that the world's earliest dated printed book was known as "Diamond Sutra". It was printed in China in 868 A.D. using woodblock printing technique. However, it has been said that many books were published way before this time. Around 1040 A.D., the world's first known movable type system for printing was invented in China. China made little use of their invention because literacy was not widespread, so there was little demand for mass printing of books. But the printing technology was spread rapidly across Europe. In 1400 A.D., a German goldsmith, Johannes Gutenberg had invented printing press machine with movable type which allowed books to be reproduced in masses. The first book printed with this technique is The Bible. With the printing press technology, books can be printed quickly and with less effort, hence the cost of bookmaking reduced and this made books available for a much bigger audience. The invention of printing technology...

...The Palace of 5 Beekman Street: The Past, Present, and Future Of a Newly Discovered Forgotten Landmark People often think that everything noteworthy in New York City has been discovered and widely publicized. The cities vast and intricate infrastructure is something to be marveled at and exposed to world. The city’s infamous skyscrapers, parks, unique media, and one of a kind cultures, have all been widely attributed to the city’s grandeur and illustriousness. However, the world has seemed to forget about one large piece of the city’s prestigious façade. The palace located at 5 Beekman Street has been abandoned for over 70 years. This building is not just one of NYC’s abandoned, rundown, factories or decrepit structures, but is a 9 story, beautifully crafted edifice that happens to be one of the first skyscrapers built in the city. The location is in limbo with its future purpose being debated, and this very teetering of the buildings potential use is what makes it such an interesting site. It is by all means an art world not only for its stunning architectural construction, but for always evolving use of the space. From the building’s first tenants of offices and residences, to more recently movie sets and catwalks, this building has been used for many things and it is widely agreed that it is its abandoned stark interior that lends itself to artistic manipulation. The marvelous building was erected between the years of 1881 through 1883 by the means of extremely wealthy...

...there was never a clear path on how to reverse the demand that was cause by repealing the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933. Although there has been other regulations and acts pass since the repeal of the Act of 1933, the ability to restore and strength our dollar has been an uphill battle to take control of it. What was known within our economic system to readjust and rebuilt had not worked to establish balance playing field on the world stage or our domestic economy. As we look forward toward corrective action though the Dodd-Frank Act, Sarbanes-Oxley Act or the Global Legal Settlement of 2002 which reduced the conflict of interest as did the Sarbanes-Oakley Act. These conflicts encompass “underwriting and research in investment banks, auditing and consulting in accounting firms and credit assessment and consulting in credit rating agencies.” (Sanati, 2009) So while we have had a slow and diosmose recovery from this crisis, I will try to answer some of the questions presented to us today on our ability to fully recover and instill some preventative measures to ensure a worst and more devastating financial crisis from taking hold of our economic system. Keywords: Glass-Steagall Act, Bailout, Dodd-Frank Act The Federal Reserve System & Financial Crisis The key factor that protected the banking customers in the United States was repealed in 1988 by than President Bill Clinton; the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933 had placed a firewall between the Commercial banks and the Investment...
