...Answers to Review Questions 1. What is the difference between a database and a table? A table, a logical structure that represents an entity set, is only one of the components of a database. The database is a structure that houses one or more tables and metadata. The metadata are data about data. Metadata include the data (attribute) characteristics and the relationships between the entity sets. 2. What does a database expert mean when (s)he observes that a database displays both entity integrity and referential integrity? Entity integrity describes a condition in which all tuples within a table are uniquely identified by their primary key. The unique value requirement prohibits a null primary key value, because nulls are not unique. Referential integrity describes a condition in which a foreign key value has a match in the corresponding table or in which the foreign key value is null. The null foreign key value makes it possible not to have a corresponding value, but the matching requirement on values that are not null makes it impossible to have an invalid value. 3. Why are entity integrity and referential integrity important in a database? Entity integrity is important, because it means that a proper search for an existing tuple (row) will always be successful. And the failure to find a match on a row search will always mean that the row for which the search is conducted does not exist in that table. Referential integrity is important, because its existence...

...The Outsider Looking in: An American in Japan SNHU Communication between people is always unique as no two people are alike and this difference is even greater when we communicate with people outside our own culture or country. As humans we generally strive for the same basic needs in life; food, shelter, companionship, but beyond those points we can find it difficult to communicate more complex ideas with those of different backgrounds. Once we are aware of another person’s differences and we can understand their point of view we increase the chances of better comprehension, fewer misunderstandings, and a mutual respect for one another (Academia). For this discussion we will examine the differences between a high-context culture, Japan, and a low-context culture, the United States, and how people from each are able to work on communication despite the language and culture barriers. I was able to speak with Maiko Suzuki, a colleague of my wife, who is from Japan and has lived in the United States since 2010 working in a PhD program as well as a research lab in Boston. From the start I knew she had trouble understanding the research I was trying to do but we were able to overcome this in time. Like most foreigners, even those who have a firm grasp on the English language, they still struggle to make communication that is native to the United States due to the cultural differences. From that point Maiko was able to describe how she has been able to overcome the differences...

...When you hear the word tattoo what is the first thing you think of? The art form is probably your answer, where ink is injected into the skin and turned into a design that is now on display for the rest of one’s life. This however is the third definition of the word. The first use of the word originated from the Dutch word taptoe literally meaning ‘close the tap of the cask. It was changed to tattoo in the mid seventeenth century in Britain approximately a hundred years before the definition we know so well. A tattoo is the evening drum or bugle signal recalling soldiers to their quarters for the night, it soon became more associated with simple the sound of the drums instead of closing up a fort, another definition came along; rhymic tapping...

...When I was in China, there was a Japanese colleague named Satoshi in our company. He is 1.80 m high, good-looking, less than 30 years old, but looks a bit old. We seldom talked with him because he rarely laughed and we gave him a nickname "what things" (a homonym of his name in Chinese). Because I worked on the same floor with him, I met him often. He always looked lonely and unhappy. Maybe because he was lonely, he often worked overtime. He never went out with us or walked with any colleagues. We thought he deserves the loneliness because he left his hometown and came to work in China. But one day, there was an incident that changed my view on "what things". It was at noon, I was going out to eat with colleagues and we met him in the elevator. Because it was lunch time, the elevator was overcrowded as usual. When the elevator stopped at the main floor, there were a lot of people waiting outside to go up. As we hurried out of the door, I saw “what things” was standing by the door with his finger pressing on the button. When all the people went out, he still remained the same posture. I thought he was going to the garage downstairs but then I discovered that the elevator was ready to rise. I was so curious that I looked what in the end he wanted to do. “Does he forget something; ready to return to the office? What an idiot.” I talked to myself. I saw that he waited until the last person went into the elevator. Then, "what things" loosed his finger and dragged out of the...

...Introduction of Writing Writing is a productive skill in language learning for anyone’s academic achievement. As it is an active or productive skill, students are required to produce a number of pieces of writings. However, many learners of English feel difficult to produce the pieces of writing. Writing can be categorized into both mental and physical act. The physical act means writing is the physical act of putting down words or ideas to papers, or worksheets. The mental act means writing is all about inventing ideas ,thinking about how to express them and putting them in an orderly manner for the readers to understand it.

... These sections include, “Spelling and Grammar”, “Theasurus”, “Dictionary”, and “Auto Correct”. We were told to not use “Spelling and Grammar” because it does not always is correct. They always wanted use to proof read with our own eyes and see our mistakes. As much as I thought that was terrible, in the end, it has shown me to keep my eye out for my mistakes. All of the sections in Word are to help the writer in every possible way. I refuse to use the “Spelling and Grammar” choice is because the terms might not always be correct. For instance, if a person writes this sentence, “I am going their tomorrow.” Word will not see that “their” is the correct word but not the correct spelling. When showing that Word does not pick up on Homonyms, this can lead to mistakes on that document. This can also lead to laziness for the writer if they do not care to even see if the sentence is correct in spelling and grammar. I think this can be hard to avoid this section in Microsoft Word in a school setting. The student could be writing a paper and instead of proof reading with their own eyes they could just use the “Spelling and Grammar” to correct what may be wrong. If the student constantly uses this way of “correcting” their sentences, how are they going to do that when it comes to handwriting a paper? The teachers have to be noticing that their students...

...What is memory? Memory is involved in all aspects of our lives, is it a cognitive thinking process or a way of retaining information or is it a number of connected stores or even actual information retained. According to Reber (1985), it is possibly all of these. Memory has not been defined as a single process or fact and several theories exist about its nature, character and structure. We have vast amounts of information stored in our memory systems which we are able to access quickly and effortlessly, this implies that knowledge stored must be highly organised to allow us to retrieve the appropriate information for a given situation. This organising will be determined by the way that information is encoded into memory. The way the knowledge is organised will determine the type of process required to access that information in the future. Atkinson and Shiffrin (1969) suggested that memory comprised of three separate stores. The sensory memory store, the short-term memory and the long term-memory each store has a specific and relatively inflexible function. This was called the multi-store model. There are two main memory stores short term memory (stm) and long term memory (ltm),they are studies in terms of there ability to encode, which means make sense of information, also by there capacity, how much information is stored and by duration ,how long the information can be stored. How does the short-term memory store work? Conrad (1964) suggested that short-term...

...Writing a Resume Your resume isn’t your autobiography. It’s a short document, meant to show an employer that you’re a desirable candidate for an available job. Writing an effective resume presents you as a well-qualified, interesting individual who is worthy of a face-to-face interview. Employers may receive over 100 resumes for a single job opening. While ideally each candidate would receive equal time, the fact is that employers typically sort through a pile and put the most appealing specimens at the top of the heap. Statistically, your resume has about ten to twenty seconds to either float to the top (for further analysis) or sink to the bottom (obscurity in the employer’s personnel files). Steps to Writing a Resume Gathering Information Whether you’re writing a resume for one employer or several, the job of writing a resume is much easier when you take the time to put all of your information in front of you. Besides that, putting all of your information in one place gives you a handy reference to make sure that each resume you write has all the information you want to disclose to prospective employers. It also makes updating and writing new resumes easier than starting from scratch. Resumes are divided into three sections: experience, skills, and education. Using these sections, brainstorm a list of all the data that might be pertinent to getting the job you want now and jobs you may consider in the future. If you’re writing a resume...

...Adv. English 11 A4 Annotated Bibliography Rev. of Fitzgerald's 'The Great Gatsby'., by Brian Sutton. Gale Cengage Learning. The Explicator, 1997. Web. 23 Mar. 2010. <http://find.galegroup.com>. Brian Sutton asserts that F. Scott Fitzgerald's book, The Great Gatsby, has four interlinked images that traces Gatsby’s rise and fall as he attempts to recapture Daisy Buchanan's love. The first image is in the beginning of the book when Gatsby is seen by the narrator holding his arms wide open to a green light in the distance. Which we later learn is that the green light is on Daisy's porch. It symbolizes how Gatsby wants Daisy's love back again and that his arms are wide open for her. The second image occurs in the middle of the book when Gatsby experiences a moment of triumph, Gatsby and Daisy finally meet. During this meeting, Daisy is smoking a cigarette...which is another symbol of light! The third image is when Tom and Gatsby finally confront each other and while all this i is going on, Daisy throws her cigarette and the burning match to the carpet...which symbolizes that their(Gatsby and Daisy) love is over. The fourth image is at the end of the book when Gatsby is standing in the distance where he once looked at the light in Daisy's house, just hoping and praying that maybe she will return her love for him. Throughout this article, Sutton uses examples from the text to heighten...
