...Week 3 O*NET Resource Center Student’s Name University MGMT410, Professor XYZ, Date Learning Questions Question 1: How easy was it to find the specific occupation you were looking for, and how comprehensive was the information provided about that occupation? I currently hold an operations role and searching for “Operations Manager” was relatively easy on O*NET. “The O&NET program is the nation’s primary source of occupational information and it contains information on hundreds of standardized and occupation-specific descriptors” (O*NET, n.d.). Once a person familiarizes with the O*NET Content Model, which is its conceptual foundation, the search engines become easy to understand. The top two search returns for me included Wind Energy Operations Manages and General & Operations Managers. Interesting fact emerged by reviewing both that gave good representation of skills, overall knowledge, abilities and work activities necessary to be successful in these roles that correspond to my experience with what the role demands in my current work environment. For operations type of positions it is imperative to be able to work independently, be initiative, rely heavily on analytical thinking and have the leadership skills that take charge and can motivate other team members. It was comforting to see that the real world experience matches the O*NET comprehensive information provided. Certain discrepancies are expected as each industry is slightly different but in general...

...The Women's Resource Center maximizes the learning experience of every UA student and the greater UA community through outreach, services and advocacy to empower women and encourage their active and equal participation. This mission is based upon the following values that support the broader goals of the institution and that foster a climate that is inclusive to women. The women’s resource center is very committed to decreasing incidents of interpersonal violence and promoting a campus environment in which all people can feel safe. Dating and domestic violence is any act, attempt, or threat of force by an intimate partner or family member. The Women’s resource center presented a very informative presentation last week. Dating and domestic violence was the main topic of discussion. Dating and domestic violence occurs in all socio-economic, educational, racial, and age groups. The issues of power and control are at the heart of family violence. The batterer uses acts of violence and a series of behaviors to gain power and control. Signs such as intimidation, threats, isolation, and emotional abuse should really be taken into account if noticed. If the batterer often smashes things, abuses and/or destroys the victim’s property or even displays a weapons, proper actions should be taken immediately. Threats are never a good sign. If a person feels threated then that person should go to the police department and file a police report. Victims in a domestic violence relationship...

...Proposal The use of enterprise resource planning systems (ERP) is widespread. To maximize efficiency, companies of all sizes are implementing these systems and revising existing processes to increase efficiencies. The widespread influence on business by ERP systems requires investors to understand the benefits gained and the costs incurred by implementing them. Efficient conversions to ERP systems may provide a multinational corporation with enough of an edge to change the industry in which it participates. Determining and investigating key ERP benefits is important for a number of reasons. By evaluating how other firms have been affected by implementing ERP systems, a company can estimate how its processes will be benefit and whether the system will assist in solving the problems. Evaluating benefits “allows firms to investigate the alignment between their needs and what an ERP system can do” (O'Leary, 2004). Once the company has established ERP benefit benchmarks, it will have a point of reference by which to evaluate other ERP implementations. Once it is understood what ERP benefits are likely to be experienced, then those potential benefits can be used as the basis to set up measurements for those benefits. Then those measurements can be used to establish whether a company has attained the levels of productivity expected from the ERP implementation (O'Leary, 2004). Industry specific benefits must also be taken into account. In total, these are the reference points by...

...Frank Zappa’s testimony on the topic of labeling specifically rock music that was seen as explicit by the PMRC was unforgettable. His testimony instead of persuading the senate to not allow explicit labels on rock music showcased his argument as vague and off topic at times. Since most of Frank Zappa’s argument is petty jabs at the PMRC and its founders, it is hard to pinpoint exactly what he did well. Frank Zappa’s testimony was truly a disaster until the very end. He seemed to have almost no interest in the actual topic of the court case about labeling rock music explicit in the future records to come. Instead, he seemed to have his own agenda which included verbal attacks on the founders of the PMRC and their spouses. An example would be when he said, “Ladies, please be advised-the $8.98 purchase price does not entitle you to a kiss on the foot from the composer or performer in exchange for a spin on the family Victrola. Taken as a whole, one complete list of the PMRC demands reads like an instruction manual for some sinister kind of toilet training program to house break all composers and performers because of the lyrics of a few. Ladies, how dare you?” (Zappa, 1985, 4:59) His statement while completely absurd and derogatory towards women used a fallacy of pathos named appeal to fear while simultaneously using a fallacy called a generality. The generality is when he says the PMRC’s demands wanted to housebreak all composers and performers. He grouped everyone together...

...start when considering how to reduce data center power consumption? What value of PUE should data center managers strive for? - PUE is simply defined as “Power Usage Effectiveness”. It measures how efficiently data centers use energy. PUE is an important place to start because it makes Google to measure the change in usage effectiveness. The ratio of PUE is total facility energy over IT equipment energy. A PUE of 1.00 would be best, but 1.09 was the lowest estimated value until 2011 as the video says. Data center managers are still striving for that. PUE = IT Equipment Energy + Facility Overhead Energy / IT Equipment Energy 2. Describe the five methods recommended by Google for reducing power consumption. - Measure PUE As I mentioned in Question 1, the industry uses a ratio called Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) to measure and help reduce the energy used for non-computing functions. To effectively use PUE, it's important to measure often (at least once per second). If the ratio has a 1.00 PUE, it means the energy can be used in the most effective way possible. - Manage airflow Good air flow management is significant to efficient data center operation. By Minimize hot and cold air mixing, Google reduces its power consumption. Google should eliminate hot spots and be sure to use blanking plates (or flat sheets of metal) for any empty slots in the rack. Thermal modeling using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) can help data center managers quickly characterize and optimize...

...improve manageability, enhance security, and speed-up the deployment of new capabilities while supporting a consistent user experience across diverse endpoints. Desktop virtualization (DV) has become a popular solution for addressing these needs. With hosted DV, the end-user’s desktop experience (operating system, applications, and associated data) is abstracted from the physical endpoint and centralized. The user’s desktop image is hosted as a virtual machine on a data center server. Users can access hosted virtual desktops from anywhere through DV appliances, smart phones, tablet computers, laptop and desktop computers, and other clients. Organizations deploying DV face many challenges, as the DV technologies potentially affect the entire IT infrastructure. To address these challenges, Cisco has developed Cisco® Virtualization Experience Infrastructure (VXI), a comprehensive architecture for desktop virtualization. Cisco VXI, which uses three existing Cisco architectures, includes designs for virtualized data centers, virtualization-aware borderless networks, and virtualized workspaces, and the critical services needed to support these architectures. Cisco VXI reduces the total cost of ownership (TCO), streamlines operations, simplifies management, and positions organizations for growth. This document describes the major elements of the Cisco VXI architecture and is a companion to the Cisco Validated Design guide, which provides detailed design best practices. The system is modular...

...social problems does data center power consumption cause? Data center power consumption economically affects businesses and environmentally affects society. Operating costs for data centers is very expensive. In the article, "Ubiquitous Green Computing Techniques for High Demand Applications in Smart Environments," the total operating costs, concerning electricity, of all data centers within the U.S. alone exceeded 7 billion dollars in 2010 (Ayala, J., Moya, J., Risco-Martín, J., Sanchez, C., Zapater, M. 2012). The article then explains that data centers consumed 61 billion kilowatt-hours in 2006;the Environmental Protection Agency provided this statistic to the US Congress in a report from 2007 (Ayala, J., Moya, J., Risco-Martín, J., Sanchez, C., Zapater, M. 2012). With this amount of energy being consumed by data centers, it is a cause for concern; consequently, data centers have an impact on the cost of business and negatively impact the environment via carbon footprint. As the carbon footprint grows, there is a need to realign the way businesses looks at managing their data centers. Several companies including Cisco, Dell, Google, HP, IBM, and Intel have announced efforts to reduce the environmental footprint of their product offerings (Chang et al., 2012). Large technology companies are starting to understand that being environmentally friendly is good for the wallet and good public relations. Understanding how to manage and build better data centers with a green foot print...
