Even though the children play in the street it cause a safety risk to drivers that don’t speed or drive wreck less do to the children running in and out of the streets without looking for cars. The children are our future and they need to be protected. When a person is looking to buy a future home they want to see a nice neighborhood that looks respectable and not as if it’s a bad neighborhood. The appearance of a home in my belief can say a lot about the people who live there. Someone who takes care of their home for example pressure washing, not trash in yard, paint nicely applied. Also there are some resident that don’t have the money but the residents should do as much as they can. To give an example of this a resident in my neighborhood has fixed the garage door which is tilted half way closed and it’s not very appealing. The appearance of a residents lawn as well as home its self make a community. A yard or lawn care should at the minimum have the grass mowed. The plants should be not over grown or deceased. Living in Florida the grass isn’t always...

...The poor people usually depends of this places for basic things like food or sleep,without that help some of them don`t survive winter. Most of these institutions exist thanks to donations made it by average people and not government assistance. Every day there is more people living on the streets and the help is simply not enough, even when these kind of institutions exist. The people which suffer of poverty even when we see them like a kind of dog in the street, they are human and they want a decent life like normal people. Is normal to say that those poor people are living on the streets by their own choice, but like I said before, that is ignorance. That people suffer a lot of things, even things that we never going to feel, for example the hungry . The sad of these situations is that most of these people is...

...students in AIS courses have already taken a survey computer class, the discussions here are brief. This chapter may nonetheless serve as a review of computer hardware and software concepts or as a study of how IT helps organizations accomplish strategic accounting goals. It is helpful to view an accounting information system as a set of five interacting components: (1) hardware, (2) software, (3) data, (4) people, and (5) procedures. Computer hardware is probably the most tangible element in this set, but ‘‘hardware’’ is only one piece of the pie—and not necessarily the most important piece. For example, most organizations spend more money on people (in wages and salaries) than on computer hardware and software combined. Similarly, computer hardware must work together with the other system components to accomplish data processing tasks. Without computer software, for example, the hardware would stand idle. Without data to process, both the hardware and the software would be useless. Without procedures, accounting data could not be gathered accurately or distributed properly. And finally, without people, it is doubtful that the rest of the system could operate for long or be of much use. What all this means is that ‘‘information technology’’ is a fuzzy term that includes more than computer hardware. In this chapter, we concentrate on computer hardware (in the next three sections of the chapter) and software (in the final section). But you should remember that these...

...11/5/2004 Noise Margins 1/12 Noise Margins The transfer function of a digital inverter will typically look something like this: vO V+ d vO = −1 dv I Transition Region d vO = −1 dv I vO = f (vI ) I III II V+ vI Note that there are essentially three regions to this curve: I. The region where vI is relatively low, so that the output voltage vO is high. II. The region where vI is relatively high, so that the output voltage vO is low. III. The transition region, where the input/output voltage is in an indeterminate state (i.e, an ambiguous region between high and low. Jim Stiles The Univ. of Kansas Dept. of EECS 11/5/2004 Noise Margins 2/12 Note that the transition region is rather arbitrarily defined by the points on the transfer function where the magnitude of the slope is greater than one (i.e., where d vO dv I > 1.0 ). Although this transfer function looks rather simple, there are actually several parameters that we use to characterize this transfer function—and thus characterize the digital inverter as well! 1. First of all, let’s consider the case when vI=0. The output of the digital inverter in this condition is defined as VOH (i.e., OH “output high”), i.e.: VOH vO when v I = 0 Thus, VOH is essentially the “ideal” inverter high output, as it is the output voltage when the inverter input is at its ideal low input value vI=0. Typically, VOH is a value just slightly less than supply voltage V+. 2. Now, let’s consider the...

Words: 1110 Page: 12-14 Paper 1: Superstition in Sports In sports weird rituals and superstitions are not uncommon and if they lead to success they are even respected. For example, Johan Cruijff played his whole career with shirt number 14. Besides, he always left the dressing room last, followed by tapping the goalkeeper in his belly and spitting out is gum over the middle line just before the whistle. Many athletes develop comparable illusionary pattern perceptions, such as crossing their fingers or carrying a lucky charm (Vyse, 1997; Wiseman, & Watt, 2004, cited from cited from Damisch, Stoberock, & Mussweiler, 2010). However, it is questionable if superstition is useful because it is based on irrational beliefs that logically unrelated objects, actions, or circumstances positively influence performance. This paper will answer the question if and why superstition improves performance. First, the purpose of superstition is will be explained and subsequently the effects of superstition on performance will be discussed. Personal control is understood as a fundamental human motivation (e.g., Heckhausen, & Schulz, 1995;...

...Jacqueline Nock – Team Reflection This week I learned about strategies to help develop effective groups and teams as well as resolving conflict within organizations. This week I also learned about resolving conflicts. An interesting thing I learned about conflict is that it can be either functional or dysfunctional. I learned that conflicts can be resolved by using a mediator, an arbitrator, a conciliator, or a consultant. These are impartial third-party people who are trained to help others resolve their conflicts (Robbins, S. P., & Judge, T. A. (2011), p. 475). I felt comfortable with all the topics discussed this week and didn’t struggle to understand any of them. I work for the local utility company where we have teams to accomplish our projects. In very simple terms, when new gas or electric service is requested, I handle the initial paperwork for new service, another person does the pricing and billing and a technician goes go to the job site to install the meters. As a team, we all do our separate parts to get our customers the utility service they need. Mari Lowry – Team Reflection I thought determining strategies to develop groups and teams were an easy rational way of creating an effective team. Developing groups are a different rational because they are not working towards a common goal but for self-interest only; whereas, a team finds a cohesive path to completing a goal (Robbins, S. P., & Judge, T. A. (2011), These strategies are very...

There are verbal and non verbal communication. Yet, not all of humans are able to communicate well because they don’t understand each other meaning. This kind of problem are often happened in normal people who hard to understand mute people meanings who uses sign language. Meanwhile, translator devices are very expensive and not everyone can buy or even hired a translator also needed a high cost. So, from this union of flex sensor and accelerometer with artificial neural network backpropagation method resulted a sign language translator device which text is as the output on computer that more economic with succeed percentage by 99.2% and failure percentage less by 1%.
