...Time Management Beat Work Overload. Be More Effective. Achieve More (MindTools.com) We are all aware of what time we have in our work day based on the normal 8 hour day with a 1 hour lunch. This is referred to as clock time. You can stop the hands of time is a cliché, yet the absolute truth. Real time is when you feel like you have been in a meeting for 2 days instead of 2 hours or when you feel you child was only born yesterday when they turn 12 (Entrepreneur.com). What we do with that time is often the cause of why we work more than the scheduled 8 hours. Some complain that Time Management is a waste of time in itself. However, this is proven untrue once you have a functional system in place that tracks exactly what you are doing with your time. Often following the tips that will be listed cuts away wasted time and gives you more time for creativity and production. Tip: To get use to tracking your work day actions, create a simple Time Log. Start doing this for a few days to a week. Figure 1 shows a sample time log. You want to log the time of all your actions, what category does it fall under (create a category list that fits your work), the activity, set priority for everything action then how much time was spent. The way to calculate where time is wasted is to compare the minutes used to the priority. Figure 1 |Time |Category |Activity |Priority |Minutes ...

...these settings. In order to remember its settings, the PC uses a small battery powered memory called CMOS. As you perform different hardware upgrades, you might want to update the CMOS settings. When storing your PC’s hardware settings, the CMOS keeps track of the systems date and time. PC’s normally uses its CMOS settings only when it boots up. Depending on the PC type, the way to access the CMOS settings will vary. When first turning on your PC, the PC performs a self-test of the hardware components. During the self-test, the PC displays the count of its working memory. Normally, you will access your system’s CMOS settings by pressing a specific set of keys for example DEL, EXS, CTRL-ALT-ENTER, CTRL-ALT-INS, CTRL-ALT-ESC. But like I said it will vary. If the PC starts successfully, you can normally ignore the PC’s CMOS settings. However, if you add memory to your system or install a new or different disk drive, you may need to update a CMOS setting. Depending on your system type, you may be able to use a CMOS setting to password protect your system. When you assign a password to your system in this way, your system will require you to type in a password each time it starts. If...

Cause: Like any battery the computer CMOS battery can fail or lose its charge. Solution: If your computer is losing its time or date settings, or you are receiving a message CMOS Read Error, CMOS checksum error, or CMOS Battery Failure, first attempt to leave the computer on for 24 hours. In some cases this can charge the battery and resolve your issue. This often resolves CMOS battery related issues when a computer has been left off for several months. If this does not resolve your issue follow the below steps. (1) Write down all system settings * Ensure that the information within your CMOS, if not already lost, is written down. If you're getting a CMOS error message or your time is not being saved your settings are already lost. Getting into the CMOS setup can be found on document CH000192. (2) Locate your CMOS battery * Open the computer case and find the battery on the computer motherboard, verify that it will be accessible and that it can be removed. Most computers today use a coin cell CMOS battery as shown in the image to the right. * If you are unable to locate your CMOS battery you will need to refer to your motherboard...

...the same time, but on the other hand, those same files will soon be out of date and remain un-updated until the next group updated, creating a time lag (Chaffey, 2004). The time lag occurs between the time of the actual event and when it is recorded and imputed into the system. For example, batch processing is often used with pay-roll systems because the information only needs to be updated at the set intervals of the pay cycles, and does not need to be opened up other than that time. Real-time systems are a little bit different, because they do not process information together in groups but they process transaction as they occurs, keeping files updated constantly, eliminating the time lag. Real time systems are used when information may need to be accessed and updated at any given time (Chaffey, 2004). For example, a sales order processing system would work better with real-time processing. This would enable information to be accessed at any given time, allowing customer’s questions to be answered immediately, and not have to wait until the next time the information is updated for an accurate answer (Chaffey, 2004). Resource use is one characteristic used to distinguish between batch and real-time systems. Batch processing is usually preferred when looking at it from this aspect because it requires the use of fewer resources than real time systems (Chaffey, 2004). It requires fewer resources such as programmer time, computer time, hardware, and user training. Real-time systems...

...Social Issues and Ethics in Computer Science and Engineering Introduction Therac –25 is a medical linear accelerator that was developed by AELC .A linear accelerator (linac) is a particle accelerator, a gadget that increases the energy of electrically charged atomic particles. Linacs are use mainly in hospitals to treat cancer patients .During treatment a patient is exposed to beam of radiation in doses designed to kill a malignancy.(Grolier, 1985) The Software Engineering Code of Ethics and Professional Practice is a practical frame- work for moral decision-making related to problems that software engineers may encounter. (Quinn, 2013) Between June 1995 and January 1987, six patients were seriously injured and some killed by poor administration of radiation from the Therac-25 medical linear accelerator. This paper therefore seeks to explore the causes behind the accidents, the software bugs that were associated with the machine. In addition the paper will also cover some of list the clauses that are violated in the code of ethics of software engineering and explain how they relate to the action or inaction that led to the overexposure incident Technical errors in Therac-25 software One of the major weaknesses that is associated with Therac-25 software was in the lack of formal testing procedures. As results certain errors remained in the software as the product got distributed to the consumers. One of the errors that...

...“Converting data into business value at Volvo” Dianne Allamani Dr. Paulette Stephens CIS 500 - Information Friday, July 13, 2012 Volvo Car Corporation is a great example of a Corporation that has been able to integrate the cloud infrastructure into its networks. Using the cloud, Volvo is able to convey and collect huge volume of Data “Big Data” to its Volvo Data Warehouse where it can be stored and analyzed for future record usage and recovery or restoration by Volvo’s employees. Asthana (2011) He states that: The Swedish car maker collects terabytes of data from embedded sensors in their cars—from their customer relationship management (CRM) systems, from dealerships, and from their factory floors. These data streams are combined and analyzed to yield early predictive information on matters like manufacturing defects that haven’t occurred yet. Using Saas, software applications are run from one centralized location. The software can be accessed from any location over the internet. Volvo uses on demand computing via the clouds, to link their business units and support areas and production plants all over the world.

...solution to create, execute and sustain global sourcing strategies by leveraging real-time information via the Internet. Toshiba had a limited ability to obtain real-time information on a global operational basis and would hinder the company’s success if the issue was not addressed. Before JDA, purchasing employees were buying products only locally, and there was no sharing of information among buyers or factories, or among factories and headquarters. Purchasing activities were being conducted separately because no common database existed. 2. Why did the company select JDA as its software vendor? A. Toshiba was looking for a provider that would not only enable it to conduct the operations more efficiently, but which would also enable it to move in a new business direction. Toshiba needed to employ a Web interface with their customers and suppliers in all of their business processes. With that in place, Toshiba could operate on a real-time basis using accurate information, which is very important to them. In that sense, JDA’s technology was very fitting to their goals. 3. What were the gains that the company realized as a result of the software implementation? A. With JDA solutions, the speed of information-collecting and decision-making processes has increased. They can now send out RFQs to suppliers via the Internet, and get responses in virtually real time. The RFQ is sent out a second time, and Toshiba again gathers responses. Using all of that...
