...Abstract Cloud computing is a term that refers to sources and computer systems available on demand through the network, which can provide a number of computer services integrated without being restricted local resources in order to make it easier for the user and include those resources space for data backup and synchronization self also includes processing capabilities software and scheduling of tasks and push e-mail and remote printing, and the user can control when it is connected to the network in these resources through a simple software interface simplifies and ignores a lot of detail and internal processes. Cloud computing has become increasingly popular because it offers users the illusion of having infinite computing resources, of which they can use as much as they need, without having to worry about how those resources are provided. It also provides greater scalability, availability, and reliability than users could achieve with their own resource The core property in cloud computing that held computing "in the cloud"; for clarity, the treatment process (and related data) is not confined to the place (places) private and unknown. Thus, this model is the antithesis of the treatment process is located in one or more of the servers are well known.

...Analyzing the Dangers and Risk Associated with Cloud Computing in the Health Care Industry Alfonso I. Evans Excelsior College Abstract As technology continues to advance, so do the ever present threats to steal important information. Businesses all around the world are trying to cut cost to increase profits and sometimes it comes at the expense of information technology. One technological advance I will be analyzing is cloud computing and if it is a viable solution. The healthcare industry has begun putting patient information on networks that can be accessed by a number of physicians to maintain a complete record of health history. The problem with this system is that a single hospital does not have the space to maintain the supercomputers necessary to keep all that information so other solutions have to be examined. This assessment will look at the benefits and risk associated with cloud computing as it pertains to patient records. Analyzing the Dangers and Risk Associated with Cloud Computing in the Health Care Industry Cloud computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction (Mell & Grance, 2011). Cloud computing has become a valuable asset to businesses and individuals alike because it is convenient to...

...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. The deluge also already breaks the local all-time record for rainfall the month of October: The previous record was 5.07 inches set in 2004. The National Weather Service reports...

...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...

...Sleet forms when there is a layer of above freezing temperatures below cloud base but the temperatures at the surface are below freezing. A snowflake falling out of the cloud will melt in the above freezing layer producing a rain drop. The below freezing surface layer must be thick and cold enough to refreeze the raindrop before reaching the ground. Hail is produced inside a cumulonimbus cloud by accretion of super-cooled liquid water onto a large frozen embryo caught in a strong updraft. Continuous cycles through areas of super-cooled liquid water will cause the hailstone to increase in size until it can overcome the upward vertical velocity and eventually fall to the earth’s surface. What is the difference between freezing rain and sleet? Freezing rain is liquid (super-cooled) that will freeze on contact with objects that are below freezing on the surface. The determining factor between sleet and freezing rain as a precipitation type, is the depth and coldness of the subfreezing layer near the surface. Sleet is usually a transparent or translucent ice ball around .2 inches or less in diameter. When it hits the ground it can bounce. The formation of sleet was discussed in the previous question. Describe how hail might form in a cumulonimbus cloud? Hail is formed when clouds, specifically cumulonimbus clouds, have both high altitudes and powerful updrafts within the condensation layer of the cloud. As rain droplets form, they are frozen and then carried aloft again...

...can alter your results. For my weather diary I made sure I took the temperature at the same time every day as to get true, comparable results. To keep consistency in my results I also took the temperature using the same thermometer each time, and took the readings from the shade, rather than somewhere in direct sunlight, which could have given a fake result, as the temperature readings could have been higher as they were I the sun. this helped me complete my weather diary, as it allowed me to see the temperature of a number of weeks and use it as comparable data, in other areas of the weather diary, such as pressure and cloud cover. Cloud cover and cloud types were another fieldwork technique used to complete my weather diary. By looking up into the sky, in the same place and the same time every day I was able to roughly give a result in oktars of how much cloud cover there was on a particular day. As...

...traditions, although in a way that argues against it which is irritating to some. He claims that without him the state is likely to enter into a “deep sleep” meaning that it would be forgotten. In Aristophanes’ Clouds, he treats Socrates crudely because its purpose is for Just Arguments whereas Socrates used Unjust Arguments. In The Apology, Socrates gives a speech defend himself and his conduct. He says that since he has no experience with the law courts he is going to talk in the manner he is most used to: honestly and directness. He explains that his conduct was because of the Delphic oracle who said that he was the wisest of all men. Knowing that he doesn’t know much of world affairs, he concluded that he is only wiser than other people only in that he knows nothing. To spread his wisdom he goes around to question “wise” men to expose their ignorance. Although he earned the admiration of young Athenians, hatred ensued from the people he embarrassed which would be the reason he was on trial. He says that he is merely a gadfly stinging a lazy horse which is the Athenian state. Claiming that without him Greek traditions would be forgotten and that through his interactions, even if it is irritating to some, it can be used to become a productive and virtuous action. In The Clouds, Aristophanes writes about a how a father, Strepsiades, worries over the financial issues due to his son’s, Pheidippides, financial spending. In order to outdo the creditors through an “Unjust” argument he...

...The long summer day had been filled with dark and gloomy clouds. The air was so thick I could hardly breathe. My pajama's clung to my body as if I had just been sprayed with the garden hose. I remember thinking that I wished that it would just hurry up and rain already. The next thing that I remember is running to my parent's car in the middle of the night. With the distinctive loud wail of a tornado siren, the wind howling, and lightening filling the dark sky, I have never been so afraid in my life. The loud tornado siren was not something new to me, even though it frightened me every time that it went off. Most times, though, it was just going off for a weekly test and was not in the middle of the night. That night it was no test. It was the real thing. We had to jump into the car for the short drive to my memaw's house, running over my dog Joe in the process. Even though my memaw only lived a mile away, the drive seemed to take forever. Would we ever reach her house and the safety of her cellar? I have never run so fast in my life as I ran that night, from the car to the ground cellar in the back yard. The wind was blowing so strongly that I felt as if I wasn't moving at all. The lightening filled the dark cloudy sky and, all I could see was the shadow of my silhouette on the ground in front of me. Loud thunder clapped in my ears and made me shudder, the ground shaking under my feet. Finally, I felt relief and fear at the same time as I reached the cellar door. I climbed...

...Running head: Cloud Seeding Negligibility of Cloud Seeding Don Jackson Angelo State University November 13, 2012 Cloud Seeding How is there a water shortage, if there is no water leaving earth? Foremost, accessible freshwater accounts for a very small amount of the earth's water. Ninety-seven percent of all water is salt water and most of the remaining three percent is locked in polar ice caps, glaciers, and deep underground aquifers (McCaffrey, 2000). The problems arising from a shortage of freshwater are beyond human and crop needs. Significant percentages of power in numerous countries are provided by hydroelectric turbines, efficiency of a cloud seeding operation will continue to be negligible because scientists cannot know exactly what rainfall would or would not have occurred but for their efforts. Clouds and precipitation are paramount meteorological processes in the general public's concept of “weather” (Lin, Wang, Schlesinger). Since the mid-1940s, countries have used cloud seeding to attempt to control the rain. As would be expected, these programs have met with mixed responses. The world is on the brink of a water crisis, due to expanding populations, evident climate change, and pollution causing much of the existing freshwater unusable, the demand for freshwater has never been more immense. Presently, cloud seeding operations have been successfully conducted by about 40 countries during different periods during the last 50 years. Even though cloud seeding is...
