...Hello ILC! In my 4th year of study, I would have to spend 8 months working on a project in a developing country. I could work on a health care delivery system, do an environmental assessment, create a marketing or small business development plan with local entrepreneurs, address key issues such as child labor or HIV/AIDS, and the list goes on. With a good mark in English, I hope to get accepted into this program. I’ve never taken an online course so I did not know exactly what to expect. I am finding it more difficult than the English course that I took in day school. I also find that it is twice as much work. However, in day school, a lot of the marking is through class discussions, presentation, and overall behavior in class. Because ILC is independent and there are no teachers to mark a student on presentations discussions, etc, it makes sense that there would be more work to cover. I like this course a lot more than my last English course. I love writing. In day school, we did a lot of writing, but there was always a lot of pressure to finish it at a certain date and perfectly. I absolutely love how I can work at my own pace think about what I am writing thoroughly without stress. It makes things much easier. I work at Zellers as a Fashion Sales Associate. And I have found that balancing school and work has become so much more easier by taking this...

...AFT2 – Task 1 2/4/2014 Nightingale Community Hospital (NCH) is a 180-bed hospital, acute care, not-for-profit hospital that prides itself in quality healthcare. In thirteen months, NCH will face their next Joint Commission audit, and based on current findings and statistics they will need to make some adjustments to be compliant. While Joint Commission will address all the Priority Focus Areas: Infection Control, Communication, Medication Management, and Information Management, this summary will concentrate on areas in the Communication area that are lacking. A. Compliance Status UP.01.01.01: Conduct a preprocedure verification process – This Element of Performance is in place to ensure that a hospital is always performing procedures on the right patient. 1. Implement a preprocedure process to verify the correct procedure, for the correct patient, at the correct site. Nightingale Community Hospital currently has a written policy to conduct a preprocedure verification and a Preprocedure Hand-Off form to ensure information is communicated; however, there are areas lacking in the hand-off form. Although the current hand-off form has an area to verify the patient identification/armband and if the site has been marked, there is no area to verify the patient procedure and the procedure site thus leaving the hospital not in compliance with the standard. 2. Identify the items that must be available for the procedure and use a standardized list to verify their availability...

...know so far and he will get you what you need. This is also a good time to get the tools if you don’t have them. You will need a ratchet, ratchet extension, chalk, spark plug grease, proper size socket and a cold drink is all you will need. Now that you have all the tools and supplies, it’s time to get to work. Removing the spark plugs is simple task. Locate the spark plug wires. Pick a spark plug wire to start with. Next, remove that wire from the plug with a little tug. Then, mark the wire and area close to that spark plug with the chalk. They should be similar markings per pair a simple 1, 2, 3 type of order will work fine. After, you have done one set, repeat the removing marking process for the remaining spark plugs and wires. Make sure that each wire has the same number marking as the plug it was removed from.

...How do you correct your student’s grammar mistakes? Instructors often lament the sloppiness of their students’ writing. Grammatical problems abound in college student writing, and when student papers are filled with errors, many teachers feel obligated to correct every sentence-level error they see. While marking each error can be an extremely time-consuming task, it is always the hope that students will read these comments and learn from the corrections. Is this really what happens? Is the time well spent? Unfortunately correcting errors for students will probably not help them learn to correct errors themselves. Only the most conscientious students will pour over your comments and reach for their grammar handbooks for additional information. Rather, in cases where every error is marked and corrected, the student will likely believe that the instructor has done all the work, and that little revision is necessary beyond that indicated by the corrections. If students are not given a chance to revise work, chances are good that they will not attend to your comments at all. Another downfall to correcting every spelling, punctuation, grammar, and capitalization error in a student paper is that it can end up taking the focus of your comments off the content and organization of the piece. Even if you are careful to attend to both mechanics and content, it is important to keep in mind that students can be easily overwhelmed...

...This involves specifying a specific space for each tool. It should be designed in such a way as to quickly determine if a tool is missing. A popular method is to use some type of foam product and cut out spots for each tool. In a toolroom environment, walls can be used with pegboard and hooks. The item is then outlined and shadowed. Tool identification Some companies require employees permanently mark their tools for tool identification purposes. This provides a way to quickly identify who a tool belongs to when it is found. Tools can be marked using a vibra-peen tool. Some other marking methods such as permanent marker may not be very effective in a hangar environment. If your company requires mechanics to mark their personal tools in a uniform method, be careful of the requirement. It would be best to use mechanics’ initials or the last four digits of their Social Security number as a tool ID marking. Company specific numbers such as employee numbers should be avoided. If the mechanic changes jobs to another company, these numbers will not be...

...There have been many technology advancements in the auto industry to make driving safer. For example: * Blind spot monitoring systems. These systems warn the driver if there is another vehicle close by when changing lanes. If the warning is ignored, some systems will apply one set of breaks to basically steer the car back into its own lane. * Forward/Rear facing cameras. The forward cameras are able to keep an eye on the road markings and warn the driver if they are veering into another lane. These cameras can also monitor traffic in front of the car to help prevent collisions by first warning the driver, then making a calculation of how much breaking time and force is needed keep the accident from happening or at least lessen the impact. If the warnings are ignored this system could activate the breaks itself. Rear facing cameras can “keep an eye out” for objects that the driver may not see when backing up * Radar Sensors. These sensors also detect objects that may be in the driver’s way when backing up. The drawback to these, they all require “line of sight” to detect the danger. Now the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is testing “Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC)” technology. These devices enable vehicles to talk with each other “(V2V)” as well as talk to “traffic management infrastructure (V2I)”. With any wireless signal being broadcasted, naturally there have been some concerns with how secure the transmissions are and what...

...achieving near term objectives. Because it helps define appropriate short-term actions, it is more likely that the same line manager, making the staffing decision will still be in place to collect the benefits of that decision later on. First of all, it is important to address staffing from a proactive, planning perspective and not just an implantation phase. Even though this approach may have been used before, it is no longer realistic for organizations to assume that the staff needed to implement its plans is readily available and quickly recruited, trained, and qualified to work. Some staffing limitations may impact the company’s ability to implement its plans. For instance, my organization requires that only registered nurses with advance life support certification are to be scheduled to work on sub-acute unit. If this requirement is impossible to fulfill and company is unable recruit a sufficient number of nurses with critical care skills then implantation plan may not be successful. These limitations should...

...List and briefly discuss the stages of a multimedia project. Be sure to define the milestones that mark the completion of the phase. Firstly, you must develop a sense of its scope and content, having a rough idea in your head on how to design your project. Then I have to develop an organized outline and a plan that is rational in terms of the skills, time, budget, tools, and resources that I have in hand. Scheduling, once I have worked out with my plan that include the phases, tasks and work items that I feel will be required. I have to layout these elements along a timeline. This will usually include milestones at which certain deliverables are to be done. To create a schedule I must estimate the total time required for each task. After scheduling, estimating the cost of the project will be relevant to estimate the entire cost after the project has been completed. It is relatively simple matter to estimate cost and effort, For example, the manufacturing industry. Having a progressive accounts and billing will be saved to review the financial part of the project, for example preparing a cost sheet. Finally, write and structure the elements of the multimedia project. Potential clients do not have a clue about how to make multimedia, but they do have a vision on their project. As a project designer, I will know what, my clients want and how to satisfy them. I occasionally may encounter a more formal request of proposal. This are typically detailed documents from large corporation...

Time management Developing time management skills is a journey that may begin with this Guide, but needs practice and other guidance along the way. One goal is to help yourself become aware of how you use your time as one resource in organizing, prioritizing, and succeeding in your studies in the context of competing activities of friends, work, family, etc. First: try our exercise in time management: How do you spend your time each day? Strategies on using time: These applications of time management have proven to be effective as good study habits. As we go through each strategy, jot down an idea of what each will look like for you: * Blocks of study time and breaks As your school term begins and your course schedule is set, develop and plan for, blocks of study time in a typical week. Blocks ideally are around 50 minutes, but perhaps you become restless after only 30 minutes? Some difficult material may require more frequent breaks. Shorten your study blocks if necessary-but don't forget to return to the task at hand! What you do during your break should give you an opportunity to have a snack, relax, or otherwise refresh or re-energize yourself. For example, place blocks of time when you are most productive: are you a morning person or a night owl? ...
