...AT&T Historical Perspective AT&T Wireless according to their licenses that they have with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has the potential to serve 99% of the United States (US) population because of the territories that’s covered by their licenses. Currently AT&T Wireless serves more than 20 million subscribers. Through AT&T’s WorldConnect services all their subscribers can get services in more than 100 countries (Funding Universe, 2011). The origins of AT&T Wireless stems from the merger between AT&T Corp with McCaw Cellular Communications. The development of wireless technology first began with AT&T Corporation, where cellular technology was invented 1947 in the Bell laboratories for law enforcement (Funding Universe, 2011). The main reason these systems were developed for law enforcement was so that patrol cars can stay in contact with each other, because prior to this they communicated through radio frequencies which tend to collapse if too many patrol cars were using it. AT&T engineers solved the solution of the issues with the radio frequency by creating special transmitters capable of sending calls between patrol cars regardless of what area they were located in this was a precursor to the creation of cellular towers in the 20th century (Funding Universe, 2011). The first actual cellular systems were not developed until 1984 by AT&T Corp. in the cities of Chicago and Washington, D.C. Even though AT&T Corps was the first to develop cellular...

In other words, General Motors Company is only manufacturing cars, and it was a big question how they can survive the bad economy especially at that the rate of how people are buying cars in the down-turn of our economy. Yes I have heard the english sayings : ‘Do not put all your eggs in one basket’ but I have had never had a clue that big giants like GMC does it. In the first day of class, I was truely thinking why I was here. In the past I worked for Orlando Utilities Commission, but my power is supplied by Porgress Energy. Through this project I learned many facts, such as their portfolio ; wind, solar, nuclear and gas and the stage-gate Project Porfolio Management. They have a huge diversification of products, and their financials are stable too. Each course in the Master’s of Business Administration brings a new view point for the PM professional. This course adds topics of multitasking, how to choose a Project, what defines beneficial project to add to the portfolio. One essential topic is the conflict, was getting on the same page for the topic. I am not a big proponent of the team concept. Conflict resolution Management is more of understanding human behavior and how to manage it. It is frustrating when someone is not motivated...

(TCO B) Some believe that a project management office (PMO) is nothing more than yet another level of management with the associated added cost and bureaucracy. Project Management experts tell us that this is a good thing. Which of these points of view is correct, and how do you (in your own words, though you may cite your readings to support your view as necessary) justify your conclusion? Remember that business thinks primarily in terms of dollars and benefit/cost ratios. (Points : 20) 2. (TCO B) One of the most traumatic decisions a project manager must sometimes make is to cancel a project. In an article titled "How to Fail In Project Management without Really Trying," Business Horizons Reprint No. BH010, the following (whimsical but true) reasons that projects go out of control were identified: 1. Ignore the project environment, including stakeholders 2. Push a new technology to market too quickly 3. Don't bother building fallback positions 4. When problems occur, shoot the one most visible 5. Let new ideas starve to death from inertia 6. Don't bother conducting feasibility studies 7. Never admit a project is...

This project will satisfy the Exploration (EXP) research category required by the NSF prior to award consideration. Our entire project team shares the same vision regarding this project and are prepared to work collaboratively amongst any affiliates or personnel requested by the NSF pending the awarded grant. 1.0 INTRODUCTION Distance learning is becoming more popular and utilized each passing day in today’s society. The ability for a student to attend an educational institution anywhere in the world is a realistic possibility because of the Internet. However, what students sacrifice in trade for convenience, may not be worth the impersonal learning standards that web-based learning resources provide. When a student attends an online class, there is little to no face-to-face interaction between the students and instructors. According to an Inside Higher Ed article, 97 percent of two-year institutions in Virginia offer some online courses and a large and growing number of students (22 percent of the sector’s overall enrollment in 2008) take at least one course online (Fain, 2013). While this study exhibits the availability of online classes, it also states that only 3 percent of the students are enrolled in an entirely online degree program. Only 5 of the 46 students surveyed said they would take all their courses online if they could. Almost all of the students said student-instructor...

...Organizational Change Plan 09/08/2014 Marnelle Paul HCS 587 Professor: Virginia Weatherston Many health care organizations in New York, including Long Island are moving toward the continued growth of improved documentations and communication. It is a big change of moving from paper-based nursing documentation to Electronic Medical Record (EMR) as required by the department of Health law that documentation of nursing intervention be done appropriately, and the care given be evaluated accordingly to improve the quality of care that nurses are rendered. This proposed change that is selected is designed for a long term care facility in Syosset, Long Island, with the vision to maintain excellence in care. The need in this health care facility for the change will be examined as well as the organizational and individual barriers to the change. Even though there are factors that might influence the change, there are also factors that will influence the organizational readiness for the change. The success of the changed will depend on the right theoretical model approach, and the right availability of internal and external resources. This new change will allow other providers to have access to the medical records without having to fax or mail them which may delay care. When a patient requires more intensive care such as cardiac distress that requires a transfer to a more skilled facility, the EMS transporter must wait for all the paper work to be done, including...

...Course: BIBL 104 Date: October 18th 2014 Old Testament Bible Dictionary Project Genesis: The book of genesis is the first book of the Hebrew bible known as the Tanakh and the Christian Old Testament. It is not clear who actually wrote the book of genesis. But it has been noted that there are different styles of writing in Genesis and therefore, there are several different authors. Mark 12:26 says, “…have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spoke unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?”. It is noted many places in the new testament that most of the book of genesis was edited by Moses. But, Moses is traditionally recognized as the author of Genesis which he simply had to compile the book of Genesis from the records kept by Adam and his descendants. Thus Genesis can be read as eyewitness accounts.The first chapter was probably written by god himself because it tells of the beginning and there is no way of knowing what is written. Although it can be said that it was inspired by divine inspiration. The continuation of the book was written by others. The book of genesis tells the story of the beginning and the creation of the world and all there is. It uniquely tells the story of the successes and failures of people like Adam and Eve and shows it’s heroes as they really were giving a look of human’s nature in an ancient world (Hindson and Towns, 2013). Genesis teaches the theological truth of whom, why, when...
