However, the database management system cannot withstand the quickly and greatly increased work load, the break-down frequency increases, which make the decision-making efficiency and customer experience drop. The company tries to turn around this bad trend and poses two solutions: one is to update the present DBMS including hardware, software and human resource; the other one is to make use of SQL Azure from Microsoft to set up cloud environment and transfer the DBMS there. After cost analysis, we find that to reach the same efficiency standard, the cost of...

...New Database Program for ACCC Michele Ritchie SCI110 – Introduction to Physical Science Instructor Casey Bethel February 17, 2016 The Scientific Method The scientific method is a way to ask and answer scientific questions by making observations and doing experiments. The steps of the scientific method are to ask a question, do background research, construct a hypothesis, test your hypothesis by doing an experiment, analyze your data and draw a conclusion, and communicate your results. Problem Statement At American Classic Carpet Care, a nationwide commercial and retail carpet cleaner, we have several different databases that we use for our client base. Each database contains a certain type of business contact. For example, one database is for hotels only, another is for restaurants only. Then, we also have separate databases for local work and out of state work. As you can see, one restaurant or hotel could potentially be put in more than one database. Currently, we use the Pro 2011 version of ACT!. This version is not set up to transfer information from one database to the other automatically. Manually transferring information one client at a time is very time consuming. Overview of Alternatives Alternative #1- Upgrade to ACT! Premium: This application allows you to transfer data from one database to the other, along with many other updated features of the ACT! Program. For example, optimized template storage makes it easy to quickly navigate and locate all...

Evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of each system and, based on your knowledge of human resources and database systems, propose one (1) package that would fit the needs of your organization. Suggest three (3) specific reasons why you would recommend that system over the other. The benefits of utilizing a database are substantial. In today’s revolutionary business world, it is hard to imagine a company not desiring to invest in a Software that can manage information, and offer a level of security with password protection for wondering eyes (Thomas, 2013). The advantages of a business to use Peachtree Software are rapid access to information, trouble-free reporting, good organization, and many other features. Peachtree Software is written in Microsoft Access, without problems that can rapidly track employee’s attendance, evaluations, payroll, customers’ data, training, and applicants’ data, as well as making sure the company is well informed about any changes in government regulation (HR data manager, 2013). Another database system would be Oracle PeopleSoft that offers compensation, recruiting solutions, payroll interface, time and labor record keeping, travel and expense, and general ledger/budgeting report, which is beneficial to any organization (Oracle. para 4, 2006). However, there are some disadvantages...

... Cloud computing is the latest evolution of Internet-Based Computing. Public internet spawned private corporate intranets, cloud computing is now spawning private cloud platforms. The database is the critical part of that platform. Therefore it is imperative that our cloud database be compatible with cloud computing. Key Design principles of the cloud model: The core design principle is dynamic scalability, or the ability to provision and decommission servers on demand. The shared-disk database architecture is ideally suited to cloud computing. It requires fewer and lower cost servers, it provides high availability, reduces maintenance costs by eliminating partitioning and it delivers dynamic scalability. Benefits of Cloud Computing: a. Lower Costs: All resources are shared resulting in reduced costs. b. Shifting CapEx to OpEx: This enables customer to focus on adding value in their areas of competence. It allows customer to focus their money and resources on innovating. c. Agility d. Dynamic Scalability: It can smoothly and efficiently scale to the spikes with a more cost-effective pay-as-you-go model. e. Simplified maintenance: All Patches and upgrades are deployed across the shared infrastructure. f. Large scale prototyping/load testing g. Diverse platform support h. Faster Management approval i. Faster development With corporate adoption of cloud computing there are explosion of cloud options....

Keywords: RCCG, Database, Church, Heaven’s Gate, Application, Church Management Company Background Heaven’s Gate is one of many parishes of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), headquartered in Lagos, Nigeria; finding out exactly how many parishes of the church existed was next to impossible. In her well-detailed article on the church, Olufunke Adeboye wrote about the church from 1952-2005. Founded by Josiah Olufemi Akindayomi in 1952, after receiving vision to write down the church’s name on a wooden board, this despite the fact the man was unschooled at the time; he cannot read nor know how to write.

...IBM DB2 Express – C Introduction The intent of this paper is to describe the installation process of the Microsoft Windows version of the IBM DB2 Express-C database. This is a light-weight version of the more fully featured configuration of IBM’s best-selling DB2 database and includes core DB2 capabilities, free administration, development, autonomic, XML support and access to the online communities and forums. The version downloaded and running is configured for dual core processors and supports up to 2GB of system memory. Insights gained from working with the database after installed are also shared. Installation Process for DB2 Express-C Downloading and installing DB2 Express-C is easily accomplished over an Internet connection. The version installed is 389MB and took approximately 10 minutes to download over a cable modem running at fractional T1 speeds. Installation screens from the steps completed to get DB2 Express-C up and running are shown in the Appendix of this document. After installing the Control Center was invoked at the command line using the command db2cc which is specifically defined in the chapter assigned on DB2 Express-C. Using the command db2sampl -xml –sql to create the sample data worked, and there is the secondary option of using graphical interface commands to accomplish the same. The use of the DB2 Command Line tools show how quickly a multidimensional table can be viewed, edited and batch programming tasks completed using shell scripts...

...1.With Google Glasses, the technology disappears from in front of you and you get data and applications in the context of what you’re doing or what you’re looking at. Want to know the weather right now? You won’t have to find the weather app and click on it to get a report. Weather apps for Google Glass will know when you’re looking up at the clouds and provide you with an instant weather report. If you’re unsure of what’s at a particular street address, look at the premises and Google Glass will tell you who’s inside, and possibly even show you the indoor plans along with a 360° panorama view if it’s a business. 2. Google Glass introduces absolutely new way of computing, with a simple, voice-driven user interface that makes a number of tasks much more intuitive. There are some examples of these: 3. To start using Google Glass, you tap the frame of the glasses and you’re taken to the home screen. You don’t see a bunch of icons like on smartphone home screen, just a simple real-life scene you’re looking at. To issue a command, you tap the frame and say “OK Glass”. 4. After you issue the order “OK Glass”, you can instruct the glasses to do something specific by saying something like “take a picture”. That’s it. There’s no fumbling around looking for the camera icon. 5. Same goes with video. With Google Glass, you can record what you see without moving a finger. 6. Now this is what calls serious sharing — actually sharing what you see with your friends . 7. Lost...

...More than 80 people and their pets had to be rescued by boat from their flooded homes after more than seven inches of rain fell Saturday and Sunday in Louisville, Kentucky. The National Weather Service declared a flash flood emergency for Louisville early Sunday due to back-to-back thunderstorms that began Saturday.. First floor apartments were flooded and vehicles were swallowed by high waters after 5.91 inches fell in Louisville on Saturday alone, according to the Weather Channel. Flooding closed at least 45 roads. Authorities say more than 80 people were rescued or evacuated thanks to seven-inches of rainfall that fell in 36 hours. NBC's Kerry Sanders reports. "I was lying there sleeping, kids woke me up, looked out, I couldn't believe it," evacuee Vickie Dedrick told NBC affiliate WAVE in Louisville. "Just a little bit of water on the road, next thing you know it looks like a tidal wave come through; looks like all cars washed off," added evacuee Mark Elliott. No injuries were reported, but at least 45 roads were closed and many homes and cars were damaged, according to the Courier-Journal. According to the National Weather Service, a record 5.91 inches of rain fell on Saturday, breaking the day's old record of 3.07 inches of rain set on October 5, 1910, WAVE reported.

...would go away. As I am in my window I start to feel my house lift from the ground swirling round and round. I ran to my parent’s bedroom to make sure they were alright; attempting to open up the door they seemed to be a strong force preventing me from getting in so I yelled mom/dad as loud as I could but there was no response. Next I sprinted down the stairs to my brother’s room and tried to open the door but his was locked. Feeling hopeless and afraid I ran back to my bedroom and got underneath my covers. I started to pray that this was all a bad dream that I would soon wake up from, the rain came to a halt and the winds began to settle. As I pulled the covers from off of my head, then got out of the bed to go the window I notice clouds of fog surrounding the house. What I thought was a bad dream was not so bad after all; there were stuffed animals and candy everywhere. I notice that when I walked it was as if I was floating on thin air like there was nothing beneath me. Everything was in slow motion, I thought to myself wow is this what every kid experiences the night before they turn 6 years old. As I am starting to feel a sigh of relief I was awaken by my entire family and friends singing happy birthday. They were carrying my birthday cake into my bedroom with big stuffed animals, toys and candy. I must say I’ve had a lot of crazy dreams, but this is one I will never...

...“Rain, rain go away, come again some other day.” On September 9, 2012 as I sat on the beach with my family for their annual so long to summer picnic, dark clouds rolled in and it started to rain lightly. We were at first amused at the situation, but then had to decide whether to pack up and leave or stay and make the most of the day. Some sheltered under the beach umbrellas, while others shredded their clothes and went out into the rain in their bathing suits. The situation was amusing but frustrating. We laughed and wondered how it was that they could be so wrong sometimes and then hit it on the head at other times. In a matter of one hour the dark clouds and rain moved northward and the sun was shining brilliantly. . While I watched the skies and ocean, and felt the windswept sand hit my body, it came to mind that the weather and how it affects us would be a great career choice. Since I was young, I had an interest in the weather. Every morning I would look at the weather predictions to determine how to dress, and what outdoor activities I would be able to do. I am a skateboarder, and in the summer I go to the beach frequently, so the weather does affect the planning of my day. The weather is interesting, dangerous, and can be life altering for some people. Used as an event planner for many day to day activities, for agriculture, flight planning, fishing excursions and even planning military maneuvers, the weather is an important factor in our lives. In addition...
