...Horne 1 Dustin Horne Whig Eng 100 Oct 18 2012 Problems With My Apartment When I was younger, I fantazied about how wonderful life would be when I moved into my own apartment. Now I'm older and wiser, and my dreams have turned into nightmares. My apartment has given me nothing but headaches. From the day I signed the lease, I've had to deal with an uncooperative landlord, an incompetent janitor, and inconsiderate neighbors. First of all, my landlord has been uncooperative. I have two young kids that get dirty playing, and when it's time to give them a bath the water doesn't work, so when I call the landlord to fix it he said not his problem. There are huge holes in the wall that need fixing; however, the landlord doesn't even want to split the bill. Just last week I was only two days late paying my rent, and he still charged me an outrageous late fee. Secondly, I've had a problem not only with my landlord but with an incompetent janitor. When my air goes out he doesn't even come fix it for days. Whenever simple light sockets go out, he tries charging me when his services are included on the lease. When you call his office for assistance, he is almost never there. Perhaps the worst problem has been with the inconsiderate neighbors who live in the apartment above me. They stay up all night and sometimes party until the...

...What I thought I wanted was now in the past and welding was now my future. The more I watch my brother the more interested I became. After a few lessons I felt like I was invincible, untouchable, nothing could knock me off cloud nine. After Eli taught me how to weld a pattern called beads, I realized I was spending more and more of my spare time out in our shop welding. Once my brother graduated from high school he went to Alaska to work as a welder and knowing that welding can take you anywhere I for sure knew what I wanted to do for the rest of my life,...

...WELDING TECHNICIAN I always loved doing activities with my hands, crafting different items out of raw materials. I remember when I took woodshop and welding class at high school and I enjoyed how I had the opportunity to create and sculpt items. That’s why I feel becoming a welding technician would be great for me. Welders are needed all over the world, its like you have endless work . Welders are in high demand they‘re need for everything when it comes to manufacturing. It just sounds like everything i'm looking for in a career. The reason I chose this profession was because I’m a hands on kind of guy. I like to get my hands dirty. Ever since I was a little kid, I was always dismantling things around the house. I stayed in trouble with my mom. As I become older, I started to notice that I was pretty good with my hands. My mom was always asking me to repair things around the house, like the dvd player or the lawn mower or just odd jobs around the house. But what really interested me in the welding job was my welding class. I had a teacher named Mr. Green who taught us the safety procedures, proper clothing to wear and welding using the basic methods. I found the class very interesting, We created tables, chairs, and a barbeque pit and even statues from raw metals. This class really made me want to become welding technician. Based on my personality assessment from type focus, my personality type is “introversion, intuition, thinking and perceiving”. This...

...be able to completely master the art. Skills that a welder would need to have would be a very detail-orientated mind set. (Welding Basics) anyone can weld, but nobody is going to pay someone to weld something together crappily. The reason I am doing my research on welding is because I want to figure out if this is what I would like to do the rest of my life. I only have minor experience with welding. But, the experience I have had so far has been fun and exciting. Most of the work I have done with welding has involved my cars which is most likely the biggest reason that I have become so interested in this field of study. I have figured out that training for welding workers can range from a few weeks of school or on-the-job training for low-skilled positions, to several years of combined school and on-the-job training for highly skilled jobs. Training is available in high schools, and other types of institutions such as technical institutes, community colleges, and private welding schools. The Armed Forces have welding schools as well. (Jeffus,153) While some employers provide basic training, they prefer to hire workers with experience or more formal training. Courses in blueprint reading, shop mathematics, mechanical drawing, physics, chemistry, and metallurgy are helpful. An understanding of electricity also is very helpful and knowledge of computers is gaining importance, especially for welding operators, who are becoming more responsible for the programming of computer-controlled...

...understand. Human lives are understood through worldview. Biblical/Christian believed that the origins have matters that existed and given enough time and chance, the end results is what you see around you today(Naturalism)(Dr.Lew Welder & Dr. Ben Gutierrez, page 56). According to scientists God or Gods is rejected. Naturalism thought man is a machine, a product of deterministic conditioning. Man has little, if any real control over his/her existence and when the machine, breaks life is over (Dr. Lew Welder & Dr. Ben Gutierrez, page 56). Identify according to Naturalism mankind is a product of evolution forces. Naturalism believed that God is rejected. Scientific naturalism believed in truth and reality. The whole observation was to find the results of nature accepted through scientific theory. Naturalism concepts to mankind were compared to animals. Mankind and animals both came from the same ancestry. Naturalism support everything evolved, but simply though mankind is sophisticated animal. At the same time naturalism thought mankind should not be seen as species. At the end of the day naturalists believed that abortion, infanticide, and euthanasia under certain circumstances should be de-criminalized where current law is in place (Dr. Lew Welder & Dr. Ben Gutierrez). Naturalism did not have any meaning/purpose, but mankind was viewed as a product of evolutionary forces and not God’s creation. The main problem dealt with the impersonal and existence. Basically death...

...powders together. * Welding - is a fabrication or sculptural process that joins materials, usually metals or thermoplastics, by causing fusion, which is distinct from lower temperature metal-joining techniques such as brazing and soldering, which do not melt the base metal. * Autodesk - is the California-based software company behind AutoCAD, a computer-aided design software that helps architects and engineers model real-world objects in the digital sphere. 4) What is this 3D Printed Metal Bridge? The 3D printer bridge, which is on track to be completed by 2017, is one of MX3D creations. The bridge will be constructed entirely by robots that can "print" complex steel objects in midair. The bots are like mechanical, welders that melt together layer upon layer of steel to form a solid object. It's the first time that Tim Geurtjens (The Co-founder and chief of MX3D) and his colleagues are designing and building a bridge using this printing technology. Until now, the company was mainly using its robots to build free-form sculptures and giant pieces of furniture. This is a great way to show that its version of 3D printing is extremely useful for making all kinds of things in the real world. To build the bridge, the bots will move along a specially designed track, printing a section of the bridge and then rolling along the track over that new section to print the next section. Because the...

... To restore production on the profitless assembly line To develop policies for preventing future production interruptions by assembly line workers IV. Areas of consideration: 1. On Tuesday morning at 6 A.M., two young automobile assembly-line workers, disgruntled over failing to get their supervisor transferred, shut off the electric power supply to an auto assembly line and closed it down at Consolidated Automobile Manufacturers, Inc. 2. Strong and Kane, who worked as spot welders, had taken matters into their own hands when the union’s grievance procedure had not worked fast enough to satisfy them. Co-workers, idled by the dramatic protest and the motionless assembly line, grouped themselves around the fenced area, shouting encouragement to the two men inside. In response, Strong and Kane were chanting, “When you cut the power, you’ve got the power.” They were in the process of becoming folk heroes to their co-workers. 3. Sam Winfare, who supervised Strong and Kane and who was the target of their protest, had been supervisor for only a short time. In explaining the events that led to the protest, Winfare said that production on the assembly line had been chronically below quota before he took charge, and the plant manager had plainly told him that his job was to improve the production rate. Production had improved markedly in the short time that Winfare had been supervisor....

...Erick Ribota Mr. Juarez 11/25/12 Autobiography Born October 20, 1993 in East Los Angeles into a Mexican family with a beautiful mother and an influential father, I always wanted to be just like both of them. Soccer has been my way of life ever since I could remember. Since I was in the womb. I got my first soccer cleats before I was a one year old. Before I could even walk. We lived in a small house all the way on top of the hill. I don’t remember much of that place since I was too young to remember anything from that time. I just know that it was packed with all of my father’s brothers and sisters lived there. Along with their husbands and wives. I only remember the days from when we moved into the valley. I’ve always looked up to my dad. I remember he used to tell me stories about how back in Mexico they used to cut a hole in the school fence and sneak into the field just to play soccer. All of his stories about adventure always had me entertained, and still do. When I was younger I would want to dress like him and imitate almost all of his acts. From the boots and sombrero he would wear to the flavor of the soda he would choose at McDonalds. He’s always pushed me to go for success. He’s a part-time coach in a way. If it wasn’t for my dad I don’t think I’d have that hunger and strive to move forward with things. My mom is pretty much the opposite of my father. She’s calm and one of the kindest people out there. She’ll never make me do something I wouldn’t want...

Office Tigers corporation is located in Chennai, India. Two New York bankers founded Office Tigers - a six-year-old business that rapidly expanded to employ over 3500 individuals on three continents. The science fiction movie “American Daylight” looks into the year 3000, Earth has been ruled for 1,000 years by the Psychlos, a brutal race of giant humanoid aliens that abuse humans. If globally the International Labor Organization establishes guide lines to stop the exploitation of human beings now, people all over the world could look forward to job security, health benefits, 40 hour work week and more. Human beings could see the light of day. The goal of Office Tiger is to provide its clients - which consist primarily of law firms, investment banks, and consultancies – with highly secure processing of sensitive documents. The owners use energetic efforts to motivate employees, the ultra-competitive nature of the workers who sacrifice their social lives for twenty-hour workdays, and team manager's delegating their work and getting things in on time. Office Tiger never has to lock their door. The insight to the work ethic in the parts of the world currently developing economically are abusive.

...How Smart, Connected Products are Transforming Companies How long has it been since you last looked at your cell phone? Has it been 15 minutes? Maybe 10 minutes; for some of us it has only been five minutes and even others have looked at their cell phone within the past minute or two. Smart products are changing the way we live. They make many things that were once difficult, as easy as pushing a button or swiping across a touch screen. This not only helps us in our personal lives, but this also translates into businesses as well. There are many different advantages that smart, connected products can bring to the workplace. This paper will discuss several different aspects to the change in the workplace that occurs when smart connected products are introduced to the workforce. These topics include the following: how to restructure the workforce to best utilize the new resources, how to train the employees, the impact this will have on the size of workforce required, and lastly how it will affect the workflow. These main ideas as well as some smaller points will be the main points of discussion throughout this assignment. The first topic for discussion shall be how these products are affecting the workforce. Smart, connected products are having a rather large effect on the workforce in today’s businesses. A perfect example of this, would be in a modern manufacturing plant. (Lerch and Gotsch, 49) With the addition of connected assembly lines, there are now much...
