...Party Plates Database Integration Proposal As Party Plates continues to experience unprecedented growth, we realized that we must maximize the efficiency of our operation. In an effort to deliver the highest level of customer service, and remain competitive in the retail market, Party Plates sales and accounting team conducted an efficiency study of the operation and the systems that support it. As a result of this analysis, we found that there was a need to upgrade our current sales and inventory tracking system. We are proposing that we transition from our current Microsoft Excel database to relational database software, Microsoft Access. Additionally, we will need to integrate collaborative software such as Microsoft SharePoint in the near future to best maximize the effectiveness of our new database. As you know, we currently use Microsoft Excel to track our inventory and sales. Excel has been an effective management tool in the past; our current needs demand a management system that can manage multiple tasks with multiple users. Currently, we have many spreadsheets that in general do not merge or allow us to produce appropriate reports and can only be used by one person at a time. As our business grows, so will our staff and we will need to have a system that is multifunctional for many users. Microsoft Access is a relational database system, which is capable of managing customers, suppliers, products and orders. It also will also allow us to create a variety of forms...

...Party Plates is growing every day. We have increased our sales with the implementation of our new collaboration software and we want to take another step, by introducing wireless technology to the business. Wireless technology is impacting the way in which business operates and provides us with excellent opportunities to exponentially grow our business. By introducing two new wireless technologies into our business that benefits all of our departments we can further streamline our systems and potentially increase sales. The introduction of iPhones to the business will allow all of our employee’s access to our database, contact lists and everything they need to get their job done in an efficient and productive manner, wherever they may be. As you know many of our sales reps travel frequently and having an iPhone will enable them to virtually work anywhere and stay in contact with head office on a regular basis. The other wireless technology that we’d like to implement is the use of a GPS system. This will enable all of our delivery drivers to find our customers easily when they are out on the road. By purchasing a GPS tracking system that monitors our company vehicles we can monitor each driver and provide our customers with up-to-date information on their delivery times and location. Also with the implementation of both of these technologies, the sales department would be able to respond to customer’s issues, create solutions outside the work environment, respond to email and...

... Liam wasn’t even gripping the railing any longer. Instead, he was hanging only by Scott’s jaw fixed into his side. The shrill shrieks that emerged from Liam’s mouth were enough for any creature to cower and cringe in sympathetic pain. However, I did not cringe, nor did I sympathise. My eyebrows furrowed together like they were two trains travelling in opposite directions on the same track. My mouth fell ajar and I took a large breath. My eyes were motionless, fixed on Scott and the daggers that grew beneath his lips. Those teeth that sliced Liam’s flesh would change him forever. He was either going to die or become something that everyone wanted to kill. Scott bit into him like it was nothing, like it was a piece of steak on his dinner plate. I don’t even know why I was surprised. Scott never saw his actions as harmful. He always said his sole mission was to “protect his friends” but when did that ever work? He did it for himself. He always did it for himself. When he first got bitten, all he thought about was his own self. About how he couldn’t be normal or how he’d lose Allison. But he never thought about how exactly Allison would feel. He didn’t think about how if she would be upset or hurt or even scared. He only thought about how he would feel. How he would be upset or hurt or even scared. It was selfish and I was the only one who saw it. He didn’t bite Liam to save him. He bit him for himself. So he could add to his pack and more importantly, his power. He did it for merit...

...Exploring Taiwan---Taiwan Is Alive How does it feel like to live on a floating plate, unaware of probable earthquakes and tectonic movements? I understood how it feels like because I live in Taiwan! After an introduction to the geology of Taiwan, I found Taiwan a really active and dynamic island. This reminded me of an article I read on New York Times years ago; it titled: Taiwan Moves Closer to Mainland, Pulled by Forces That Molded Its Mountains. In the article, there were a research team built by three groups of geologists from three countries—Taiwan, United States of America and Japan. In order to learn the process of mountain building on Taiwan islands, they used seismic monitoring device and computer graphing to track the movement of tectonic plates. Such research found one of the facts that Taiwan is actually moving closer to Mainland China! Not to mention that Taiwan is growing taller and taller where our mountains has been rising above sea levels since 60 million years ago. I cannot help but wonder if Taiwan Island would join the Eurasia millions years after! Despite my fantasy of walking across Taiwan Strait to Eurasia many years after, it is amazing to learn that there are actually “underground” forces pushing and pulling Taiwan islands by millimeters every second. The most apparent connection between these forces and our lives on the island is earthquakes and volcanic activity. First, through my life until now, I have experienced at least thousand times of...

...Dangerous and Natural Energy Cristopher L. Butler Kaplan University SC300: Prof: Tanya Crail What’s a earthquake? According to the Geology Labs on-line website an earthquake is the sudden release of stored energy, caused by the shifting of tectonic plates. The energy release is a shock wave or seismic wave. The seismic wave is what causes the ground to move or shake, when this occurs we have a earthquake. According to the 2008 United States National Seismic Hazard Maps a lot of the west coast as far south as Hawaii, and north to Alaska has a lot of earthquake activity. The Pacific “Ring of Fire” (named for the large amount of active volcanoes), has a lot of tectonic activity. Tectonic plates are large plates of rock that make up the foundation of the Earth's crust and the shape of the continents. Question: What patterns do you see in the distribution of earthquakes across the continental United States? Answer: Earthquakes occur on fault lines, a location where tectonic plates have collided together and shifted or are sliding past each other. The size of the earthquake depends on how much slide or shift occurred. Most fault lines are located in costal areas, because of the continental and oceanic plates colliding together. Most of the United States earthquakes occurs on the west coast. California, and the entire west coast including Hawaii, and Alaska have the highest hazard rating at 64+, central locations of the United States like Texas, North and South Dakota...

...Plate Tectonics SCI/245 January 13, 2010 Aimee Pellet Plate Tectonics One of the first scientists to theorize plate tectonics was Alfred Wegener. Alfred Wegener was a German scientist that lived from 1880-1930. He proposed that the continents shifted as time has gone by. “Wegener found that large-scale geological features on separated continents often matched very closely when the continents were brought together. For example, the Appalachian mountains of eastern North America matched with the Scottish Highlands, and the distinctive rock strata of the Karroo system of South Africa were identical to those of the Santa Catarina system in Brazil”(University of California Museum of Paleontology, 2004-2010). His theory was not accepted at first, it took decades for other scientists to see what he had originally tried to explain when publishing his theory in 1915. The reason his theory was not taken seriously is because there was no explanation for how the continents would move. Because the continents do not fit from shore line to shore line we have to look below the sea level and see where they fit best. The shore line do not stop at the water’s edge they slope into the water, this is called the continental shelf. Down about 100 meters there is a shelf break called the continental slope this is where the true edges of the continents can be found. “In Wegener’s time, the technique of radiometric dating was just being developed, so it was not easy to determine the...

...disinfectant for many years used as a treatment for bacterial and fungal infections of the skin and nails (American Cancer Society 2008). Micro-organisms such as bacteria and fungi can be found in a variety of places. Using petri dishes containing nutrient agar, bacteria and fungi can be grown and observed. ‘Agar is a seaweed extract that forms a jelly-like material that is also a source of food for these organisms. Bacteria grow into colonies made up of millions of individuals.’ Fungi can be seen as fuzzy growth on the agar plates (Leslie et al. 2000). Objective/ Aim Comparing three different surface cleaners in order to prevent bacterial growth. Hypothesis 70% ethanol is the most effective surface cleaner compared to homemade cleaner and water. Materials * Normal laboratory glassware and equipment * Nutrient agar filled petri dishes * Gloves * Sterile swabs * Masking tape * Marking pen * Incubators to refrigerate and store agar plates * Distilled water * 70% ethanol * Homemade cleaner (water, apple cider vinegar and tea tree oil.) * Water Procedure Week 2 (27 August 2013) Take four petri dishes and draw a line in middle to the three of them. Leaving one for the control. Label group’s name and treatment with its control. The surface that our group have decided to...

...___________________________________________ Plate Tectonics Exercise (20 points) PLATE BOUNDARIES There are three different types of lithosphere plate boundaries associated with different types of topographic features and tectonic activity. These are: Divergent boundaries (also called “spreading centers). At divergent boundaries, plates are moving apart. The most common kind of spreading center is the midocean ridge where new ocean floor is created. Spreading may also take place within a continent. In this case, blocks of crust may drop down as the land is pulled apart, creating a rift valley. Convergent boundaries These boundaries involve collision of lithosphere plates, which may occur in three different circumstances. 1. Oceanic – continental plate convergence. If the edge of an oceanic plate collides with the edge of a continental plate a subduction zone is formed. The denser oceanic plate subducts (plunges) beneath the continent, producing a deep oceanic trench. As the oceanic lithosphere descends, partial melting of the rock along the contact zone occurs. The magma that is produced rises toward the surface and produces a chain of volcanic mountains on the land mass parallel to the collision boundary, such as the Andes in South America. 2. Oceanic – oceanic plate convergence. In this case, subduction also takes place. A deep ocean trench forms along with a chain of volcanic islands. An example of such an island arc is the Aleutian Islands in Alaska. 3. Continental – continental plate convergence. If...

...ordered water with lemon. While they were looking at their menus, they leaned in close to point out different items but they never physically touched. While waiting for their food order, they ate bread. They each had their own plates for the bread. As they ate the bread, they glanced around mostly and made a few comments about the architecture of the restaurant. It looked to me as if they did not know what to talk about. The lady fiddled with her hair and looked around a lot. The guy went to the restroom; and, while he was gone the girl got her phone out of her purse. She was still texting when he got back to the table. He looked over at her phone trying to see who she was talking to but did not say anything to her. As she kept texting, he fiddled with his bread, ate some, and watched the basketball game on the television above the bar. The guy finished his sweet tea and did not make any signals for a refill. The waitress arrived with the couple’s meal. They both ordered wings but were different flavors. She ate with her left hand in her lap and held the wings in her right hand like a pencil. The male held his wings the same as her but his left arm was on the table close to his plate. The girl ate slowly and did not really put her face close to the plate. The guy ate faster holding his face probably...
