O-14828

Purpose and Scope
This document has been created as a means of communicating between Wilson Electronics and Averna Test Systems the shared responsibilities and requirements of using a single database with a shared design. Wilson is in the process or merging a number of segregated databases into unified single database architecture. At the same time Wilson has called out a number of requirements of the Averna provided test station that require integration into said database. The following considerations need resolution before Averna provided Cellular Booster Test Station architecture and design can be completed.

Considerations
As of release date of this document the design of the Wilson database is not complete. This document hopes to provide the necessary information required to integrate the Averna supplied test station. Averna does not have a representative amount of data within its local copy of the existing database to perform evaluative queries, as a result there is confusion regarding what is required to provide the exact records for any one query.

...Unions Joel Salgado HRM 531 October 22, 2012 Rebecca Marek Unions The Puerto Rico Power Authority known as AEE (Autoridad de Energia Electrica de Puerto Rico) is a public corporation and the only electric power company in the island of Puerto Rico. In 1941, AEE received the tile of public corporation because of the recovery efforts from the great depression that affected Puerto Rico as well as the United States. This title gave the AEE the “self-regulator” authority as a public corporation. The AEE have a very well organized union called (in Spanish) Union Trabajadores Industria Electrica y Riego (Union of Electric and Power Laborers) or “UTIER.” The union is very well structured. They have general assembly, chapter’s assemblies and delegates in each of them that represent their chapters in the state assembly. They usually negotiate multi-year contracts or collective covenants with the AEE. The last published collective contract was for the term between August 24, 2008 and, August 24, 2010.

Person Centered Counselling Theories

...CASE STUDY “Joel is a 36 year old man who has come to counselling because he feels unhappy and unsatisfied in his life. Joel’s mother died when he was 12 and Joel grew up with his Father, who he describes as a good man, who worked hard to support his son, but struggled with anger and alcohol issues and was never able to fully recover from the death of Joel’s mother. Joel felt that his father was distant and so caught up in his own grief that he was never able to love Joel. Joel describes himself as a rebel in his teens, who gave his father a hard time but that he worked hard and went to university, which he saw as a way out of the small town he grew up in and a way to escape his father. He now has a successful career in corporate law and is married with a young son, Oliver, who has just had his first birthday. Joel was initially happy in his career, as he enjoyed the challenge and the money that came with his job. He has been able to give his wife, Anna, all the things that he missed out on as a child: they have a big home in a good suburb and Oliver will go to private school. Anna does not have to work and they plan to try for a second child next year. Despite all of the positives in his life, Joel still feels unhappy. He loves his wife and son, but is feeling oppressed by the constant demands of parenthood and feels that is work is suffering because he has to commit more time at home. He enjoys work less than he did and he feels that his relationship with Anna is also suffering...

Driven by a Steam Engine

...and more comfortable, and the rapidly growing industry provided many North Americans with dreams of building the first transcontinental railway that would propel them into generations of prosperity. Two such North Americans were William Mackenzie and James J. Hill, Canadians who made it their lifelong goal to build the first transcontinental railway. Ultimately, Hill succeeded in achieving his dream while Mackenzie’s railway floundered through bankruptcy and shoddy assembly. The difference between Hill’s success and Mackenzie’s failure lay in their approaches to building railway empires. Where Hill was the single-minded perfectionist, relying only on himself in every aspect of his Great Northern Railway, Mackenzie treated his Canadian Northern Railway as one of his many hobbies, giving his attention only to facets of the railway that interested him and frequently relying on others for aid. Mackenzie and Hill’s different attitudes set them apart in their devotion to their dream, attention to detail, and varying levels of independence, and it was Hill’s superiority in all three areas that caused his eventual triumph over Mackenzie. Both Mackenzie and Hill shared a dream of building a transcontinental railroad, but whether Hill was exceptionally dedicated to his dream or Mackenzie simply wasn’t dedicated enough, it was clear that both railways were greatly influenced by the level of commitment their owners put...

Knowledge

...The purpose of this essay is to describe and analyze the cultural myths and ideologies that surround the knowledge that is being distributed to public schools by examining a history text. A cultural myth refers to “the dominant ideologies of our time” (Chandler). For example, a group of people could have a belief in a myth while another group might believe otherwise. I will analyze a seventh grade history by using the method of semiotics. An examination of the history book shows that children are being deprived from a lot of historical information. In this paper I will argue that the educational system only centers it’s purpose of education and learning on the human capital ideology. This subject is important because like Joel Spring states in “The Knowledge Industry: for many young children these textbook are the only source of knowledge and the information that’s is being distributed to our children is not necessarily true or complete. As a result students are being restricted from learning how to be thoughtful and productive because teachers are being forced to teach according to a strict curriculum. The method of semiotics refers to the study of the way people make meaning. According to Daniel Chandler in “Semiotics For Beginners, a sign is a fundamental unit in the method of semiotics. A sign has two components, a signifier (the carrier of meaning) and a signified (the meaning that has been made). To describe the relationship between the signifier and the signified...

Case Study

...the elusive and long-desired number-one ranking, in 2001, SWU hired the legendary BoPitterno as its head coach. One of Pitterno’s demands on joining SWU had been a new stadium. With attendance increasing, SWU administrators began to face the issue head-on. After 6 months of study, much political arm wrestling, and some serious financial analysis, Dr. Joel Wisner, president of Southwestern University, had reached a decision to expand the capacity at its on-campus stadium. Adding thousands of seats, including dozens of luxury skyboxes, would not please everyone. The influential Pitterno had argued the need for a first-class stadium, one with built-in dormitory rooms for his players and a palatial office appropriate for the coach of a future NCAA champion team. But the decision was made, and everyone, including the coach, would learn to live with it. The job now was to get construction going immediately after the 2007 season ended. This would allow exactly 270 days until the 2008 season opening game. The contractor Hill Construction (Bob Hill being an alumnus, of course), signed his contract. Bob Hill looked at the tasks his engineers had outlined and looked President Wisner in the eye. “I guarantee the team will be able to take the field on schedule next year,” he said with a sense of confidence. “I sure hope...

Fear of Crime

...Final Paper New York City is comprised of many different kind of people. It is considered one the most populated cities in the world. With more than 8 million people in NYC alone, one may argue that it has a higher population than most of the states in the US and some countries around the world. New York City is comprised of five distinct boroughs and each has its own neighborhoods that make up each borough. The five boroughs are Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, Bronx, and Staten Island. I did some research on my own neighborhood which is located in the borough of Brooklyn. My neighborhood is Sunset Park. Sunset Park has its own unique history in Brooklyn and is considered one the smaller neighborhoods in Brooklyn. Sometimes Sunset Park is confused with Bay Ridge or Park Slope which are the neighborhoods that surround it. However, it stretches from 15th street to 65th street, from 9th avenue to New York Harbor (which can be considered to some 1st, 2nd and 3rd Ave). It is demographically diverse and has approximately 150,000 people. Sunset Park in my opinion is growing everyday and there are many different changes that happen right before my eyes. Sunset Park was named in 1965 after the 25 acre park built in the 1890‘s which overlooks the entire neighborhood. The park itself consists of playgrounds, a pool, basketball/ handball courts and has a gorgeous view of Manhattan skyline from on top the hill in the park. Sunset Park was known by many as a huge migration area during the...

Global Communications Problem Solution

... Communication is essential among the stakeholders to establish a firm foundation resources Global Communication has at its disposal to work with. Emotional Intelligence and its effect on the all interested stakeholders must be fully explored. In order for a cohesive plan to be effective, a consistent delivery to the stakeholders is required. Absence of consistency among stakholder communication and full understanding of emotions almost certainly ensures a plan is not set up for success. Creative thinking will be required on every level of leadership throughout the company. “This involves generating new ways to view a problem and seeking out novel alternatives to the problem” (DeJanasz, Dowd & Schneider, 2001, pg 404).

Educational Preparation

...Educational Preparation Peggy A. Brunner Grand Canyon University: NRS430V November 8, 2012 Educational Preparation Entry levels into nursing practice have been the topic of discussion within the nursing profession for many years. The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN), the national voice for baccalaureate and graduate nursing programs, believes that education has a significant impact on the knowledge and competencies of the nurse clinician, as it does for all health care providers. The healthcare systems of today are attempting to keep up with the ever changing world of health care needs. Independent decision making nurses are in demand. Much more is required of the Registered Nurse today in addition to carrying out a doctor’s orders or administering medications. Today’s nurse must be able to think critically, make decisions about a patient’s care, recognize when to question a physician about an order, and simultaneously be able to assist the patient and family members with challenging health care decisions. A BSN is a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, while an ADN is an Associate Degree in Nursing. Both degrees lead to getting your RN but there are some differences between the two. The main difference is the length of time and the amount of credits required to complete the program. An ADN typically takes 2 years to complete while a BSN will take 4 years to complete. Both the ADN and the BSN take the same NCLEX-RN licensure examination...

Hrm Zappos Case Study

...Zappos Case Study Introduction Zappos is a successful company with a unique corporate culture and impressively low turnover rate. This case study explores the human resources strategy employed by the company, focusing first upon the significance of the environment upon human resources. The paper then identifies how the Zappos strategy fits within the human resource management model. The final section discusses the core strengths and weaknesses of the Zappos HR strategy. While the Zappos human resource practices are characterized by many strengths, they could be improved by enhancing the accountability of managers responsible for conducting performance appraisals and inviting a greater degree of employee feedback into the appraisal system. Both of these relatively small opportunities for change are consistent with the company's overall company culture. Environment and HR The external environment plays an important role in determining the direction of a company's human resources strategy. "An organization's strategy must be appropriate for its resources, environment circumstances, and core objectives. The process involves matching the company's strategic advantage to the business environment."[1] Companies develop networks with external entities, such as customers, suppliers and investors, which must be cultivated to ensure longevity.[2] Human resources must ultimately support the business with practices that will enable it to interact and compete within the surrounding competitive...

The Lost City of Atlantis

...Sammie Williams Ms. Janine Hornung OCEA & 101 12 October 2012 The lost City of Atlantis “Long ago there existed an island, populated by a noble and powerful race. This beautiful place was a domain of Poseidon, god of the sea, who had fallen in love with a mortal woman, Cleito. He created a magnificent palace for her in the centre of the island. The people of this land possessed great wealth thanks to the abundant natural resources of the island, which was also a centre for trade and commerce. The rulers held sway not just over their own people but over the Mediterranean, Europe and North Africa” (Menzies). The Greek philosopher, Plato, wrote the above description of Atlantis in 355 B.C. Plato had originally planned to write a trilogy of books on subjects such as the creation of the world, the nature of man, the story of Atlantis as well as other subjects. The first book, Timaeus, was completed, Critias, which contains the story of Atlantis, was incomplete, and Hemocrates, was never written (Levy). The story of Atlantis is one of the oldest myths of mankind, a lost paradise and the most popular of all supposed advanced prehistoric lost civilizations. It’s location has been assigned to almost every possible place on earth including Sardinia, Crete, Cyprus, Malta, Turkey, Israel, Sinai, Sweden, Bahamas, Bermuda Triangle, Japan and even Kumari Kandam (“Lost Continent”). In Plato's book, Timaeus, a character named Kritias tells an account of Atlantis that has been in...
