...point of view, Will Rogers principles about physically fit cities and on how we should shape our cities, the vision of growing a city honors equality and diversity. Recycling brownfields abandoned and underutilized property to create parks for the communities is one principle of community-based land conservation. Furthermore, great cities have great parks. These parks are the gathering places for cultural events, farmers’ markets, recreation and also brings communities together. Providing wonderful park system is just as much an ethical issue as providing quality education and mobility for all citizens. I came to agreement on this issue of recycling land to get a fairer balance. In principle two, individual health is directly tied to how we shape our cities and communities. I can as a result of this say, to avoid ‘chronic diseases’ we should construct better patterns for our new developments in the urban, which will create sidewalks and bike paths. It is true to say that our growth patterns are affecting the water quality, the water that we consume to our bodies, becoming a major threat to our health. The squeezed patterns lead to traffics which of course, pollutes our air from the car emissions. It is the same air we breathe. Therefore, our health is at risk. Protecting our farms and natural lands helps to protect our community character and keeps traditional landscapes from fragmentation. That makes a community physically fit, as it a healthy economy.

...Term Paper on Rogers telecommunication I have gathered the following information Client A diversified communications and media company, Rogers Communications is engaged in three primary lines of business through its wholly owned subsidiaries: Rogers Cable, Rogers Wireless and Rogers Media. The company is Canada’s largest wireless provider of cable television services and the provider of high-speed Internet access, telephony services and video retailing. Challenge When Rogers sought to expand its cable customer footprint in Atlantic Canada, it was uncertain whether the same marketing strategy and materials that had increased customers in Ontario would be effective in another location. Could Rogers use its existing creative pieces and copy, or would it need to develop a new messaging and media strategy that better reflected Atlantic Canada’s lifestyles and perspectives? Solution To determine whether the Ontario ad slicks and direct mail pieces could be used in Atlantic Canada, analysts first classified Rogers’ millions of customers using PRIZMC2, EA’s segmentation system that groups consumers into one of 66 lifestyle types. They developed detailed profiles of Rogers’ customers in a number of provinces and then compared their demographics, lifestyles and social values. After determining the uniqueness of the Atlantic market, researchers identified four target groups that captured the essence of Rogers’ area customers and integrated the results into a marketing communications...

...I think before going into details, we should understand what is backbone. After a lot of research, I came up this definition; a backbone is a means of connecting two or more LANs. It provides a transmission channel for packets being transmitted from one LAN to another. After connection to a backbone, a LAN may remain distinct or be merged with another. Backbone networks can be applied to a single building environment as well as to campus environments, where the backbone is used to connect LANs in different buildings. Parallel backbone: I think parallel back is the best worth it for any company. The additional cost of setting up a parallel backbone can be well worth the money. The design of this type of backbone consists of using two cables routed between the routers and switches. While there are additional initial costs of installing a parallel backbone, the benefits can quickly outweigh these costs. However if company wants to save some money, they can use distribute network. It consists of a number of connectivity devices connected to a series of central connectivity devices, such as hubs, switches, or routers, in a hierarchy. This kind of topology allows for simple expansion and limited capital outlay for growth, because more layers of devices can be added to existing layers The enterprise network is challenging because it rapidly changing as new applications and architectures, including Linux, computing clusters, voice over IP applications, become central to the business...

...each wire in a copper twisted-pair cable to determine if it is connected to the correct pin at each end. Wire-map testers detect transposed wires, opens, and shorts which are all problems that can render a cable useless. A wire-map tester consists of a remote unit that you attach to the far end of a connection and the battery-operated, handheld main unit that displays the results. Typically, the tester displays various codes to describe the type of faults it finds, so you know which part of the cable you messed up on or what else may be wrong with it. Tone Generators Tone generators are the simplest type of copper cable tester. A tone generator is made up of two parts, a tone generator and a probe. These are sometimes referred to as a fox and hound wire tracer. With a standard jack, you connect to the cable the unit that transmits a signal, or, with an alligator clip, you connect the unit to an individual wire. The other unit is an inductive amplifier, which is a pen like probe that emits an audible tone when touched to the other end of the conductor. Tone generators are most often used to locate a specific connection in a punch-down block. Using a tone generator is extremely time-consuming and it is nearly as prone to errors as the cable installation. Time-Domain Reflectometers A TDR is the primary tool used to determine the length of a copper cable and to locate the impedance variations that are caused by opens, shorts, damaged cables, and interference with other systems...

...The ethical issue at Bryson Corporation is whether or not Stanton Wong, the quality supervisor, should ignore defects in a batch of laminated cable they had produced. As directed by his plant manager Harry Jackson, Stanton still should supply their client’s inspector with the defected cables. According to protocol, Bryson Corporation required a test failure be reported for such results. The cables are used to assembly fuses in missiles for the U.S. military. If there were any faulty cables used in production, it could result in severe consequences. Many innocent civilians and soldiers can possibly be harmed. If I were Stanton Wong, I would not give the client the defected cables. I would definitely contact senior management and disclose them of the situation at the plant. As the quality supervisor, I’m responsible for the all the cables and if a cable isn’t up to par, I would be held liable. Additionally, I would approach Jane Conway, the client’s inspector, and request her to perform her own elevated seal heat test from now on. This scenario says a lot about the ethical situation at Bryson Corporation. It is quite obvious that Bryson Corporation does not have effective ethical precautions in place. They only seem to be concerned with making a profit for the company. As an independent ethical consultant, I would suggest to Bryson Corporation to provide an ethics-training course to all current and future management and employees. It would raise ethical awareness and provide...

...In putting in a network there are many aspects to consider such as the Topology or design, what type of hardware to be used, and types of cabling. Copper cables are the norm when it comes to building and network and widely used in our communications of today. Copper has been used in electric wiring since the invention of the electromagnet. Copper and its alloys are also used in buildings is the most important market for the copper industry. The inherent strength, hardness, and flexibility of copper building wire make it very easy to work with. Its flexibility makes it easy to join, while its hardness helps keep connection securely in place. There`s also another type of cabling you can use and its Fiber optic cabling which is becoming more in use in communication. Unlike copper fiber uses optical fiber elements which are typically individually coated with plastic layers and is contained in a protective tube suitable for the environment. Optical fibers are inherently very strong, but is drastically reduced by unavoidable microscopic surface flaws inherent in the manufacturing process. The strength of fiber as well with its change in time, are to be considered relative to the stress impose in today environment. Its benefits out way those of copper, fiber is relative to the stress imposed during handling, cabling, and installation for the set environment. Its signal strength is stronger and faster than copper, and it is not compromised by EMI (electric magnetic interference)...

...http://ammtiac.alionscience.com/quarterly Larry X Schneider Pulsed Power Sciences Center Sandia National Laboratories Albuquerque, NM The article entitled “Wired for Success: Ensuring Aircraft Wiring Integrity Requires a Proactive Systems Approach”, which was published in Vol. 8, No. 3 of the AMPTIAC Quarterly (a predecessor to the AMMTIAC Quarterly), established the importance of maintaining wiring integrity, especially in aging aircraft. The article also emphasized the need for nondestructive approaches for evaluating the integrity of wiring systems and components. The current article answers the mail in terms of providing a nondestructive inspection (NDI) method to proactively ensure wiring integrity. – Editor INTRODUCTION Detecting and locating insulation defects in wiring systems is a nontrivial challenge. Ideally, the diagnostic should be nondestructive, capable of detecting a variety of insulation defects, such as cracking, chaffing, and abrasion, and be able to locate the defect accurately to reduce potential inspection and maintenance costs. The diagnostic should also have a low rate of false detection. Complicating this quest is the nature of complex wiring systems. For example, aircraft wiring systems are comprised of harnesses containing periodically bound single wire pairs* which create highly non-uniform impedance characteristics due to the varying distance between wire pairs. Insulation defects may also be physically small, resulting in...

...Step 1: Mounting the power supply to the computer case A fairly simple step to get your started. Before messing with the motherboard, RAM, and CPU, I mounted the power supply to the computer case. Simply slide the power supply into the computer from the INSIDE. I’ve heard horror stories of people trying to jam the power supply through the back. Once you get the power supply into the case, the mounting holes should line up like so… Simply tighten down the screws that were provided and TADA, you have taken the first step in building your own computer! Congratulations! Step 2: The Motherboard Adding the processor (CPU) The CPU is considered the “brains” of the computer. This little piece of metal and silicon is involved in 100% of your daily computing activities whether it’s something as simple as clicking your mouse or something as complex as editing the video you just took of a recent vacation. Because of its importance, you should handle this piece with EXTREME care. Once you have located your CPU socket, the area that will house your CPU, you are ready to mount the CPU to the motherboard. Unpackage your CPU and any other parts that came with it (likely a heat sink and maybe some thermal compound). Typically, new CPUs will come with a heat sink and thermal compound applied to it already but if not, you WILL need to apply thermal compound to it. Processors can easily reach 100 degrees Celsius otherwise known as the boiling point for liquids…not a good thing! ...

...Jonathan Hunt 7/23/14 Unit 6 Assignment 1 Cable Testers After installing cables in a building it is necessary to test them to make sure they are functional and did not get damaged during the install. There are many tools that can be used for testing cables, the type of cable that you are working with will determine the kind of tester that you will need. When working with copper cables one of the tools you can use is a tone generator, this tool can be used to test cables for crossovers, and shorts. This tool is most commonly used for testing punch down blocks in telecommunication lines. Another tool that is handy for copper wires is a wire map tester. You can use this tool to send a signal down the cable and make sure that the pin connections on both sides are correct. This tool can also detect a short in a wire as well as openings in the line. This is a fairly inexpensive tool and would be a good one to include in your kit if you are installing cables. Continuity testers can also be used in place of a wire map tester and are also inexpensive. It would be recommended to have at least one of these tools in your toolkit. Personally I would choose the wire map tester. If you are working with fiber optic cables you need to have a completely different set of tools because you are now dealing with light transmission as opposed to electrical current. Fiber optic power meters are used to detect the strength of light going down the cable. Depending on the type of fiber that you are...
