...Assignment 1A Submission 1) GRAPH EXPLANATION If there is an increase on demand for commodities, the price must increase because more employees are needed for the increase in production due to an increase in demand. In addition, as production increases, so do other expenses such as equipment and maintenance. With this, foreign companies will acquire more Canadian money and in addition, the American dollars in the market increases. Last, the amount available for the Canadian decreases. As this is done, the value of the Canadian dollar must increase and the value of the American dollar must decrease to keep the equilibrium in the market. A1.)

...Assignment 2 Abdulaziz alkharfi 15. Is a form of type locomotion where an organism walks by means of its two rear limbs or legs. 16.This feature indicates that the head of Sahelanthropus was on an uppper body, probably working with walking on two legs. Because if we set the skull on ape body the eye will be toward the ground which make no sense. 17.Hominids evolved to walk upright in response to climate change. As forest getting smaller, hominid ancestors found themselves descending from the trees to walk across stretches of grassland that separated forest areas. The most efficient way is to walk on the ground was bipedally. Their food supplies were becoming more widely dispersed. and the forest was changing to more open grassland, with more distance between food resources. If our ape ancestors had to roam farther to find food, and doing so on two legs saved energy, then those who moved across the ground more economically gained an advantage. 18.The older layers of the earth are exposed here, so fossils of all ages can be found. The many layers of sediment show the changes that occurred in the environment as the layers of dirt built up over time.. Ash layers from nearby volcanic eruptions can be dated, providing a time line for changes in climate, plants and animals, and the ways of life of early humans. Selam’s...

...Exploring Assignment 2 was an eye opener for me personally; it specially helped me understand the complexities that come into play while designing systems that are to be used by humans. While to the designer the system might be simple and easy to use, but to others it may become a daunting task. In the first part of the experiment stage 1 (digit span) I was able to clear my mind from my surrounding and focused solely on the numbers presented to me. As the number of digits increased I noticed that I was able to remember the first and last digit more readily than the digits in the middle. Also, the speed at which the numbers were called out to me seemed to have an impact as well. The faster the digits were read the quicker I was able to reiterate the digits back. The slower or wider the gap was between each number the harder it was to recreate the digits. Some other observations that came to my attention were; the clarity of the digits while they were being read out, the order of the digits whether it was ascending or descending, repetitive numbers in each list , and whether the beginning of the list was the same as the ending of the previous list. Each observation had its own share of impact on my recollection of the list being read out. If there was any hesitation from the reader’s part it directly affected my ability to regenerate the list from...

...alleviation of disease or injury and control of conception), patients’ specific concerns will be different in each specific case. However, patients’ general concerns relevant to all types of technologies are likely to include (1) fair distribution of medical technology; (2) safety and potential risks to patients; (3) likelihood of error when technology is used; (4) cybersecurity upgrades and possible invasion of privacy; (5) potentially minimized or impersonal health care. In particular, as we look into the future as patients, we may become hopeful about growing organs from a patient’s stem cells but question whether this technology will be developed soon enough to help those who require a new organ now. Also, we may look forward to using more diagnostic tools at home, but how do we ensure that the balance between self-diagnosis and professional care is maintained? As Scott Gottlieb predicted, we may be witnessing a ‘paradigm shift’, whereby medical therapy is becoming ‘dominated not by cell, tissue, and organ replacements but by early diagnosis and individualized drug treatments’ (2003), and this new uptake on medical therapy warrants a revision of issues that we as patients find important.

...What? (Key learnings from this opportunity; may answer the question: What were key points noted? What was observed? What innovations/trends were observed?) *My mentor suggested to me that I look through BGM’s Emergency Handbook for the district / teachers and come up with suggestions. She had just started to look through it since it hadn’t been updated in many years. I was given a copy to take home and read through. I marked suggestions that I had based on other handbooks I had read, questions I had as a parent, and some confusing parts for teachers. *Going through the handbook, there were several things that I highlighted to discuss with Mary. I wrote down my suggestions to bring up with Mary and she will in turn bring them up with the other administrative team to discuss and make changes accordingly. *One of the biggest concerns that I had with the BGM Emergency Handbook is it is just a stack of papers stapled in the corner. As a teacher, when an emergency occurs there is not time to get the handbook, turn to the table of contents, look for the kind of emergency and then turn to the page and read. *There were several components of the handbook that were outdated. Especially with the abundance of technology in society, a few parts needed to reflect those changes. Keeping up with the changing times is important; maybe an annual review of the handbook procedures is a must. If the handbook is not reviewed every year, at least every two years it should be revisited. *The...

Describe what steps need to done to provide access to all users on the computer to have access to the file. With this task, permissions and groups are going to be viewed. The steps are going to be described to ensure that all users on this computer have access to one file created Assignment 2 test file.txt. In a work environment, files are needed to be accessed by many. Windows gives you the ability to specific exact permissions. Windows have developed designed that it is easier to give access to groups than individuals (Active Directory, 2009). In creating files, one must decide who will have access and what access they will have. Dealing with file management, it is very simple to control these accesses. There are different ways to add or remove Group or user names like in Figure 1. Creating a specialized group or user is simple in any Windows operating system. In this example, the file was created in _ISSC361 Information Assurance folder. For finding properties, right click will give you many options (Create a user account in Windows, 2016)....

...district-wide integrated learning system in order to teach basic skills is that research suggests that integrated learning systems are too dependent on drill and practice and not developing higher cognitive skills for students. Furthermore, developing an integrated learning system would accrue continuous cost for constant professional development training for teachers, staff, administrators, and lab aides, through presentations, demonstrations, workshops, and in-service courses. Instructional and technical support would be needed for the districts as well as continuous assistance with installation, modification, and maintenance of the system, and installation of upgrades of curriculum software. Consequently, the budget would be more than $1 million. Integrating a learning system is also time consuming so the district will need to provide a plan that is implemented over the course of several years. “Planning requires the involvement of those who possess expertise and who ultimately may be responsible for implementing new applications” (Picciano, 2011, p. 109). This include administrators, staff, and teachers. 3. Finally, given the information provided and assuming you felt compelled to support one proposal, which would you recommend? Why? Having higher speed data communication in the classroom is not a luxury, it is a necessity for students to be able to compete in today’s technical savvy society. Now and in the future, information, careers, and resources are will go to places...

...This photograph is of Ed Mirvish in front of his store, Honest Ed's, on the corner of Bathurst and Bloor St. West in Toronto and was taken in 1983. The photograph was taken by Tibor Kolley for the Globe and Mail and was sourced on their website from the news article on the history of Honest Ed's. This image interested me because of Honest Ed's recent closure, as well as because I find it visually interesting as there is something going on in the fore, middle, and background of the image. Reading Reflection #1: Barthes’ concepts of Connotation & Dennotation This image relates to Barthes concept of the photographic message, specifically in relation to the “denotation” and “connotation” of the messages that can be read from press images. To summarize, Barthes describes that a press photograph has both a denoted message and a connoted message. Essentially, the denoted message is whatever is in the image (Barthes 17). In the case of my own chosen photograph, it is an older male in a suit standing in front of a street corner with a gathering of people around a building behind him. Secondly, press photographs also have a connoted message, which the public decides...

...What did you notice about the information in these reports? My first reaction is that the reports seemed kind of shady to me. The video did not give a thorough report and it felt like I would have to go and do research myself if I really wanted to know the answer. It basically presented a topic for me to now have to go and research because I know my mother would freak out about it and nag me to death when she hears it from one of her friends at work. I know that my parents get most of their “news” from coworkers and from the evening news but to me I, it was more frustrating being presented that video than helpful. Studies and reports were cited, but they could have been taken out of context. I would have to further review those institutions data to see for myself. As for the article, it started off with a mother giving birth because of advanced healthcare. Shawn Thierry researched to show the significant number of deaths in African American mothers. She was trying to gain more funding toward treatment and care for the mother after birthing. What was the primary message being put forth in these reports? Did you note any bias?\ The primary message is to show that Texas has one of the highest maternal mortality rates. I don’t think it is biased due to research being presented from three different sources. In the end the video says that the reports can be a bit skewed, but confirms that maternal death rates is a big concern. Primary message in the article was that deaths of the...

In order to get a background which will help when developing the new system, your supervisor asked you to research the current Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) currently used by the company. You must research the system components and report back to your supervisor , the Telecommunications Manager, within a week. 1. Describe a local land line phone system based on the following Landline Telephone Components: a. Local Loop a local loop is the wired connection from a telephone company's central office in a locality to its customers' telephones at homes and businesses. This connection is usually on a pair of copper wires called twisted pair. The system was originally designed for voice transmission only using analog transmission technology on a single voice channel. Today, your computer's modem makes the conversion between analog signals and digital signals. With Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) or Digital Subscriber Line (DSL), the local loop can carry digital signals directly and at a much higher bandwidth than they do for voice only. b. Central Office In telephone communication in the United States, a central office (CO) is an office in a locality...
