...Should LERS be continued? On 23 and 26 OCT 2007, The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) intervened TWO times in the market, for the first time since May 2005, to increase liquidity and curb the Hong Kong Dollar (HKD)’s strength. The interventions is very normal as the HKMA has already given the undertaking to defend the peg by buying US dollars (USD) and selling HKD simultaneously in order to settle the excess demand of HKD in public. The economy in USA turns bad due to the mortgage problems.

...Sheila's role in the play An inspector calls. Extracts from this document... Introduction Describe the importance of Sheila's role in the play.-Michael Rowell At the beginning Sheila was not one of the main characters as Birling takes centre stage. Setting on the play seemed revolved around the characters. The older furniture in the living room matched the aging and upper class type that is Birling. During the play Sheila is the only concerned and totally serious character to the situation. There are some well linked scenes in the play setting a mood for Sheila with the marriage, her husband to be Gerald. The pink light in the house makes Shila feel more relaxed as the set looks almost like a love scene. During the play, Sheila is the main link between the Inspector and the Audience. She constantly changes and develops as the Story is told. ...read more. Middle This sudden chance in language implicates how her attitude in the play is changing to a more mean and ruthless in her anguish towards their casual behaviour. The Inspector is a Catalyst in the character and emotions of Sheila, on impact hitting the house hold with shame. She is the most interested of people asking everyone what exactly they did, just like a second inspector who wants to put together the whole picture for the audience. Other example of this role is like when she spoke to Gerald. "What about this girl?" Her role is to be the girl that needs to know everything and gets the most upset with the strong concerns...

...GS1145 Lab 4.2 J. Hawkins J. Haas I think that social networks and E-Portfolio can’t be used together. The rezone I think this is that most social networks are just used for mindless fun. They are not used for the work place and are now use to post picture, and other thing that would distract from the assignment. They can be used for professional peruses but over all are not used in that way. I find that while one could out their resume on Facebook that would be a bad idea. E-Portfolios are used as a way to get a job presenting its self as a professional person able to work hard at the job. I think that if it was hooked up to a Facebook page of the person this would hurt them more than help them. The reason being that if you see that I spend 18 hours on Facebook I would lose to someone who isn’t on Facebook. This shows that linking the two would hurt most people more than help them. Finally I still think that the two can’t be linked however, I will say that given extreme conditions they can work together. For most of the world that use Social media to escape and vent their feeling this will cause a problem. Maybe one day the two will become one but for now they stay two different things. I think that they will never work as well as stated in the article. Two reasons are that one is a timewaster and most people will ignore it, and the other is to be taken 100% serenely. To review I think that the E-Portfolio is just too professional to mix with something like Facebook...

Here, you continue the discussion on CCSS, but from the perspective of linking report cards to the CCSS. It is common to think about how creating report cards that are linked to CCSS will define expectations for student learning, communicate student progress to parents, provides a consistent approach to assessment evaluations, and focuses on academic achievement. As needed, review the Hunt Institute video below (click this link to view the video transcript), which covers the history and development of the CCSS. For this discussion, you will adopt the role of a school leader and create a digital presentation using the software of your choice (e.g., PowerPoint, Present.me, YouTube, Prezi, Jing, SlideRocket, or another program). Your audience for this presentation can be either a school board or a stakeholder directly in the school setting, such as teachers, other staff, or students. If you use software other than PowerPoint, submit notes for each slide as part of your post. If you use PowerPoint, be sure to include notes for each talking point on...

Byzantine chain: A type of silver necklace (or gold necklce) that looks like a random mess of interwoven metal at the first glance, however, much thought goes into the construction.

...Why link Textbases? The main reason that you link textbases together is to avoid having to replicate information that is common to many records or to more than one textbase. By storing the common information in one textbase, you can reference it from other textbases. Deciding which textbases to link is an important, but not difficult, decision. Typically, you use linking to model a many-to-one relationship between different types of records. In the simplest case, a many-to-one relationship can be accomplished with multiple entries in a field. For example, many phone calls to a particular customer can be logged in a single field in the customer record. However, if you need to track separately the date of the call, the person initiating the call, and a summary of the discussion, you should use linking instead. Create a record in a separate textbase for each call, and link these records back to the customer. Then it is easy to track how many call were made in a particular week, how many were made by a particular staff member, and so forth. You can link a textbase to one or more other textbases to access the combination of information that you need. By linking textbases, you can conserve disk space and reduce or eliminate duplication of effort. You can access information from several textbases at once, but you only have to maintain the information in the textbase from which it originates. For example, a patron’s name and address can be stored in one textbase, but can be...

In my report I will briefly describe each of those Domains that are affected. User Domain The User Domain defines the people who access Richmond Investments information system. Accessing systems and their data employees have to adhear to the AUP which states the set standards on what do with the information they are accessing. This domain is the weakest link in the IT infrastructure and so employees are responsible for the company’s security. Workstation Domain The Workstation Domain which connects users to the IT infrastructure. In this domain staff should be able to have access necessary to be productive including the hardening of systems by having the latest software revisions, patches, and configurations. Additional layers of defense include logon ID’s and passwords for employees to access further sensitive information set by the IT Administration. Also no personal data devices allowed as that would compromise security. LAN Domain The LAN Domain includes the physical network components and logical configuration of services for the employees. Cabling, NIC cards, WAPs, and LAN switches are what make up the physical network whereas the LAN system configuration includes master list of user accounts and access rights.
