...What is a RAM? (RAM) Random Access Memory provides space for computer to read and write data to be accessed by the CPU (central processing unit)9 (http://kb.iu.edu/data/ahty.html). A sufficient RAM results in faster computer speed and less dependence on the hard disk for supplying data which is needed by the computer to run software applications like MS Office. When a computer has more RAM this reduces the number of times the CPU reads data from hard drive and allows the computer to work faster. Affects on Distant Students: A RAM is several times faster than a hard disk. If a system does not have sufficient supporting RAM the system gets hanged. A computer that has more ram is able to process applications and software faster and results in more speed. If a sufficient RAM is not provided computer will slow down dramatically and will not install software properly or crash while running software and applications. When a PC runs of out RAM then the PC tries to find more Ram and it starts converting hard drive space to RAM and this slows the computer down become unstable and eventually crashes. Distant learning relies mainly on computer and its performance. Speed of computer is of utmost importance in distance learning. If a student is working on a project, assignment or quiz and the computer crashed due to insufficient RAM that will result in loss of marks and academic performance. RAM Specification Recommendation: Windows XP has a bare minimum RAM requirement of 64MB to...

It influenced and shaped our modern world to an extent like none else, and the reflections of today’s development traces its route back to the decisions taken during and post-World War I. No one had any idea about the huge armies that would be involved, the amount of ammunition that will be expended, and how many people would die. However, the role of Canada in the war is noteworthy, considering the fact that the nation decided to stand by the Britain’s side during the war with the only aim of opposing aggression. It neither fought for anything for itself...

...5 - FREEHOLD COVENANTS Introduction A covenant is a promise made in a deed. In respect of land covenants may be either positive (a promise by one party to the other to do something) or negative/restrictive (a promise by one party to another not to do something). There is a benefit and a burden to every covenant. Covenants for land are created when one person sells a part of his or her land to another and in the contract the parties place obligations upon one another e.g. the seller may insert a clause that prohibits the buyer from building on the land or using the land for a business or requiring the buyer to build and maintain a fence between the properties. The land with the benefit is known as the dominant land and the land with the burden is known as the servient land. Enforcement under Privity of Contract Between the original covenanting parties there will be a contract and under the common law doctrine of privity of contract the party with the benefit will be able to enforce the covenant against the party with the burden. With most contracts the subject matter remains with the original contracting parties but this is not so with land. Both the original parties will pass the land to their successors either by sale or by inheritance. Under the doctrine of privity of contract the benefit may be assigned but the burden cannot pass. Therefore the successor to the owner of the land with the benefit of the covenant cannot enforce the covenant against the successor to the owner...

...REFLECTIVE ESSAY #2 One thing that I learned last week was that I am able to look at a situation and break it down by using the Identify, Differentiate, Determine, Predict, Structured Thinking Process. I can identify/analyze the problems and recognize when a situation is appropriate or inappropriate. I will then be able to determine what I should do to create a positive outcome, if possible. Another interesting topic from last week was when we did the four lenses exercise. I learned that for the most part, I am a well-rounded individual and can fit in with most any group. I am lacking just a bit in the blue color though. That wasn’t really a big surprise though, considering I don’t worry too much about someone’s feelings when I get ready to confront them about something. I can see now that it wouldn’t hurt for me to lighten up just a little when I’m having these types of conversations with my airmen. I can also see now that one of my co-workers is a serious blue, hence the reason he tends to get his feelings hurt easily and seems like he could use a hug nearly every day. Also, in my persona life, I can see now why my husband is and acts the way that he does because of his color. This has certainly helped me understand him just a bit more as well. When I was preparing for my speech last week, I was a nervous wreck. I get so nervous when I know I am going to be evaluated and/or if there is a grade involved. I also believe that I should have been closer to the top of the...

...Oliva 1 Antonio Oliva ENG 101 January 14, 2013 Self – Discovery Essay The Hard Part Writing Adrienne Rich once wrote, “Responsibility to yourself means refusing to let others do your thinking, talking, and naming for you; it means learning to respect and use your own brains and instincts; hence, grappling with hard work.” Writing for me has never come as an easy task, although I love to reads others words and I wonder to myself why could I not do something that meaningful. The hard part of writing this simply being able to make a sentence that makes sense. The intended audience must have a clear understanding of what I’m trying to communicate. This is important on many levels especially for work request from vendors who contract repair work of multi million-dollar equipment. I enjoy reading the technical manuals in order to get a better understanding on how the equipment works. This starts me on thinking how best to describe what repairs may be needed. I develop what I refer to as a mind picture. The association of mind pictures with this type reading is then converted into words. Clear and concise sentences are the key to successful understanding and to clearly avoid misunderstandings between what work needs to be accomplished and what does not need to done. This process can by the helped along by using critical reading strategies, specifically annotating, which consist of recording ones reactions to and questions about the text one has read, these comments are to be...

...Analyzing Written Essays Yolanda Foster This exercise was very enlightening, most of the results do coincide with how I view and handle situations. Whether they are situations at home work or in class. I try and please everyone knowing that it may or may not happen. But I feel that I have to at least attempt it. Which ties into my core value result that is balancing between others and myself. Most of time I am the one that people will vent to whether it’s family, friends or co-workers, because I will listen and not judge them on what they have to say. Which is also listed in my core value result, that I am ‘’tempered by rationality, using reason to find the rules of life.’’ The Blind Spot was one the results that I have mixed emotions about; there are parts I agree and parts I disagree. My expectations of people are pretty clear and cut, I expect that you do your job to the best of your ability. I am someone who will not ask you to do something that I myself would not do. The blind Spot stated that I ‘’forget that individuals are fallible regardless of their role.’’ I know individuals are fallible just not on a constant basis. After this exercise it has brought forth some things for me to think about, especially a statement that was listed in My Risks, ‘’This can make you susceptible to insincere flattery and immune to constructive critiques preventing you from doing your job effectively.’’ Maybe I need to sit back and evaluate the things that people are coming to me to...

...1.01 How to write an essay General Advice Start early As soon as you are given an essay question, begin your thinking. If you don't, you might miss useful information whilst doing other research. The television and radio often have programmes on topical issues which could be of use - if you don't already have some ideas for your essay you could miss their usefulness. It is similar to the process when you learn a new word: because you have actually looked it up, it then seems to appear more often. This is because you become more sensitive to it - the same will happen with your essay subject. Starting early also gives you the opportunity to draft and redraft your essay, talk to someone else about it and get it typed up and ready to hand in on time. If you do your essay the night before it is due in, it shows! Collecting the material It is important to collect information that is relevant. How? It is all too easy to dash to the library, collect a huge pile of books and then browse aimlessly. You might learn something, but you won't get your essay done. The best place to start is by quickly jotting down what you already know about the question: you will probably know more than you realise. It helps to get you thinking about the topic and may also give you some ideas to follow up. Purposeful reading You need to adopt a strategic method: in order to read purposefully, formulate a set of questions before you begin reading. As you read, more specific questions...

...COLLEGE EASSAY Victoria Zogo Period 6 Fear is like a disease that devours me from times. Questions and questions have always been asked in my head, and I’ve always wondered why it was so hard for me to let go of this fear. This fear of failing, lack of confidence, being hurt, etcetera. Fear was my best friend for a long time. It was always there to pull me down, to deceive me, to make me blind enough not to realize what was out there. If there was one thing my mother always said was “Never let fear control you, you yourself should master it.” Have you ever been in a situation where you felt trapped, and still couldn’t free yourself? Well that person was me. I was the bee in the bottle, that small little helpless bee who’s just trying to find its way out. Now I’m not saying that I was literally trapped in a bottle. My point is, I felt lost and fearful, till one day my eyes were wide opened by a movie I watched “Gifted Hands” with Cuba Gooding Jr. When Ben Carson for the first time in his life took a decision to finally free himself from the thought of being dumb and thinking that the other children were better than he was. If there is something that astonished me, it was that he turned out to be one of the best doctors that have ever lived. I aspire to be a doctor, I’ve always wanted to, but this fear kept me caved in like a child....

...Eassay – The Whipping Boy The Civil War is the central event in America's historical consciousness. While the Revolution of 1776-1783 created the United States, the Civil War of 1861-1865 determined what kind of nation it would be. The war resolved two fundamental questions left unresolved by the revolution: whether the United States was to be a dissolvable confederation of sovereign states or an indivisible nation with a sovereign national government; and whether this nation, born of a declaration that all men were created with an equal right to liberty, would continue to exist as the largest slaveholding country in the world. The Civil War started because of uncompromising differences between the free and slave states over the power of the national government to prohibit slavery in the territories that had not yet become states. When Abraham Lincoln won election in 1860 as the first Republican president on a platform pledging to keep slavery out of the territories, seven slave states in the Deep South seceded and formed a new nation, the Confederate States of America. The American writer Richard Gibney later used this as a theme in his novel “The Whipping Boy”, where he gives us a portrait of the differences between what the written law said and what actually happened. In the short story, foreshadowing is one of the things you will read. P. 1, l. 6: “In destroying the beasts as they slept, the slaves treated the dogs better in death than the dogs had treated the slaves in...
