One suggestion for individuals who travel would be the ability to point their phone at a recognizable land mark and be able to see the history of that location. The Flash Crash The conditions prior to the flash crash can be described as down and continually trending downward. There were also issues with Greece and the potential that this country would default. Some of the benefits of electronic trading include speed, reduced costs, and more liquid markets. The systems have the capability of processing large amounts of data in short periods of time and the ability to adjust strategies on the spur of the moment. In the case of the flash crash that occurred in May of 2010, the computer algorithm was not sufficient to handle the severity and complexity of the situation at hand. The question whether or not the crash could have been prevented is debatable. Several safeguards have been put into place in an attempt to prevent a repeat of the flash crash. These safeguards include standardizing circuit breakers in all financial markets, limiting high...

...redistribute the masses to the larger and smaller ends. The most important part of the process takes place in a hammer unit, the steel rod is placed in a die and after a few consecutive blows of a hammer the steel bar is forced into the shape of the die, giving the connecting rod its shape. Drop forging produces flash around the edges of the connecting rod which is removed, the larger hole and sometimes the smaller hole (in larger connecting rods) are also simultaneously punched in this process. After the flash is removed the connecting rod is heat treated and then machined, the final stage of the process is the separation of the cap from the rod (unless the cap and the rod have been forged separately), this is usually done by sawing but an alternative is to use splitting. Alternative methods of production A newer technology called Sintering is becoming more popular to produce control rods; it begins with the sevrohydraulic pressing of powdered metal in its final alloy, to create a powdered preform of the control rod. Next the preform is heated to around 1120°C in an electrically heated furnace for around 15 minutes, the finished piece is now ready. The reason this technology has not taken the place of the drop forging process is because of the cost, it takes a lot of energy to heat the powder for 15 minutes in the furnace; developments are being made in an effort to make this process more cost...

...designed to hold the cloth flash cards which act as stuffing like in a pillow. It also comes with a carrying bag and it can be rolled up and stored in the bag. When this bag is unzipped, it folds out completely to form a blanket. The lining of the bag comes in a variety of color and is made of a soft cloth that is comfortable enough for sleeping and napping. The outside of the bag has ten, one-foot by one-foot squares stitched into it with the numbers zero through nine stitched into each square. The numbers are stitched into each individual square in a variety of bright colors. The numbers also have different textures such as velvet or vinyl. The flash cards are six-inch by six-inch. The flash cards are made of the same material as the blanket and have basic addition and subtraction problems stitched into them on one side and the solution stitched on the other side with the solution equal to a number between zero and nine. The problems on the flash cards are stitched using the same colors and textures that are used on the blanket. For example, 4 + 5, if the 4 on the blanket is blue vinyl, then the 4 on the flash card will be same and the 5 will also be the same color and texture as the 5 on the blanket. The solution to 4+5 is 9, so the 9 is stitched on the back of the flash card and will be the same color and texture as the 9 on the blanket. When this bag is unzipped and laid on the floor it becomes a large blanket. The child takes the flash cards out of the smaller bag/pillow...

...1. Organizing information I noted from the chapter that “organized information is easier to find” especially if you are selective about the information, organize it in a specific way to make it easier to locate and to remember, and associate it with related information. For example, in my personal life, this strategy would be useful for sorting and saving important emails whether at home or at work. There are times when my inbox is full of information - inspirational, motivational, tips, and up-coming events. At work, information on new banking policies and procedures or product launches are all usually filtered down via email. It is sometimes difficult to refer to the information quickly when you can’t remember when the email was sent or who sent it. Since reading this chapter, I have started to save specific email information as word documents grouped under different folders. This has proven to be effective for linking related topics in the respective folders which makes locating the information quicker. In my academic life, I will first note the topic to be studied and pay greater attention to the learning objectives. This would then make it easier to skim through the chapter and specifically note the more important material and review that first as well as to research any related topics by using other resources. The chapter also noted the importance of paying attention to any information in bold type and any illustrations. This strategy would greatly increase my...

...My Prediction for Season 2 flash story line includes Futures end influences and a Wally West Flash! Here is how I have come to that conclusion and then some. In Tuesday night's episode of The Flash during the body snatcher scene Eobard says to Harrison; "In the year twenty twenty (five years from now) you and your wife Tes Morgan successfully launch a particle accelerator that changes the course of history". Eobard accelerated that timeline, to the year 2015 (technically 2014, and they should have had the line read 2019). Five years from now, the DC Comic Universe plot line for Futures End is as follows: "Reeling from a war with Another Earth, leaving the world unprepared for an approaching evil that threatens to destroy the future can a time traveling Batman (beyond)." Now simply begin to replace batman with "Can a time-traveling Barry Allen, help a massive cast of the DCU’s finest avert the impending apocalypse caused by the changes to the timeline Eobard Thawn the Reverse Flash set in motion after the eventual survival of Barry's mother? That means season two should be getting heavy doses of influence from the Futures End storyline. For the new as-yet-unnamed show, they are casting characters like HawkGirl, so this gives some credibility to a "massive cast" I digress, now since Harrison wells and Tess Morgan will be the cause of the S.T.A.R. labs explosion in 2020, we should see some new superheroes from older cast members, like Cisco becoming Vibe and Mrs. Katlin snow becoming...

...What is Flash? Adobe Flash (formerly Macromedia Flash) is a multimedia platform used to add animation, video, and interactivity to web pages. Flash is frequently used for advertisements, games and flash animations for broadcast. More recently, it has been positioned as a tool for "Rich Internet Applications" ("RIAs"). Flash manipulates vector and raster graphics to provide animation of text, drawings, and still images. It supports bidirectional streaming of audio and video, and it can capture user input via mouse, keyboard, microphone, and camera. Flash contains an object-oriented language called ActionScript and supports automation via the JavaScript Flash language (JSFL). Flex Adobe Flex is a software development kit (SDK) released by Adobe Systems for the development and deployment of cross-platform rich Internet applications based on the Adobe Flash platform. Flex applications can be written using Adobe Flash Builder or by using the freely available Flex compiler from Adobe. In February 2008, Adobe released the Flex 3 SDK under the open source Mozilla Public License and so Flex applications can be developed using any standard IDE, for example Eclipse. On November 17th, 2011, Adobe officially open-sourced Flex and donated it to the Apache Software Foundation. Flex SDK includes the Flex framework (also known as the Flex class library), Flex command-line compilers, the Flex debugger, the ASDoc utility, and the debugger version of Adobe® Flash® Player and Adobe® AIR® runtimes...

...Strategic Management Case Analysis: Samsung Electronics Memory chips were further classified into DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory), SRAM (Static RAM), and Flash memory. Flash memory, which was the hot-growth area, was used heavily in digital cameras and mobile phones. While DRAMs lost data when power was turned off, Flash memory could continue to store data in the absence of a power source. Considering the fact above, the flash memory market in the future will be very attractive. Along with the technology development there will be so many electronic devices using flash memory. Samsung started to create the advantage in Flash memory that it enjoyed in DRAM. Started in 1999, Samsung was seeking to move some of its production capacity from DRAMs to flash memory. Nowadays, people are always looking handy electronics device with multifunction ability and able to store huge data. Therefore, if Samsung makes investment in Flash memory technology, then it would be their advantage in the future. Foundry companies, whose sole business is manufacturing, have recently come to the fore, providing attractive outsourcing options. In addition to foundries, the ranks of increasingly specialized designers and chip testers are starting to swell. Chip companies are emerging leaner and more efficient. Four main product categories: Memory: Memory chips serve as temporary storehouses of data and pass information to and from computer devices' brains. Companies: Toshiba, Samsung and NEC ...

...Hardware Hardware is the physical components that make up the electronic devices for example keyboards, mice, monitors etc. One main difference between hardware and software is that hardware can be touched and software cannot. RAM RAM is an acronym for Random Access Memory. It is a type of memory that is most commonly found in computers and other devices such as printers. There are two types of RAM. Dynamic RAM and static RAM. The two types of RAM differ in the technology they use to hold data, with DRAM being the more common type. In terms of speed, SRAM is faster. DRAM needs to be refreshed thousands of times per second while SRAM does not need to be refreshed, which is what makes it faster than DRAM. Flash cards A flash card is a small data storage device that uses a flash memory chip to store data. Flash cards can be quite small in size, with a capacity of a few gigabytes of storage. The memory in these cards is non-volatile, so it does not require a power source to remain intact. Graphics tablet A graphics tablet is a piece of a hardware that is a computer input device. It allows you to make hand drawn images similar to that of a pencil and paper. It consists of a touch screen tablet and a stylus to draw. Monitor A monitor is like a small version of a TV. It displays the user interface and open programs, allowing the user to interact with the computer. Older computer monitors used Cathode Ray Tubes (CRTs) which made them large and heavy.

...Samsung Electronics Prepared by: M. O. Prepared for: Dr. N. C. Course: Organizational Strategy, MGM 6123, Fall 2009 [pic] Date: October 5, 2009 H. State University Samsung Group is one of the leading global conglomerates originating in South Korea, termed chaebol in native terms. Their sales in 2004 climbed to $134billion with 337 overseas operations in 58 countries and they employed 212,000 people worldwide. They have myriads of businesses in a wide variety of industry sectors including electronics, finance, trade and services (Siegel and Chang, 2005). In 1974 a semiconductor company in South Korea started ‘wafer’ production. This was purchased by Samsung Company who merged the semiconductor company with their electronics division to form a ‘global powerhouse’ (Siegel and Chang, 2005). They started with producing watch chips. In the 1980s, semiconductor was decided to be the future of Samsung Group. And the company gave most of its resources to this ‘star affiliate’ (Siegel and Chang, 2005). During 1983 to 1985, Intel exited the DRAM market. Samsung still held on despite incurring losses hoping that it would someday pay off. Their persistence paid off in later years. Samsung built its first large plant in the mid 1980s. Building a semiconductor facility is difficult and time consuming, because of high sensitivity to dust and electric shock. But the Samsung workers, from the executives, engineers, down to the field laborers, were highly dedicated. One memorable...
