...Cloud Computing and How it is Changing Modern Business Thomas A. Schaak ITT Technical Institute Abstract Cloud computing is a recently developed technology that is rapidly changing how users interact with technology and with data. The cloud allows users to wirelessly connect to data servers and perform many tasks without ever having to physically connect to a system. Keywords: Cloud Computing, Networking, Wireless Systems Cloud Computing and How it is Changing Modern Business Cloud Computing is rapidly becoming more popular in business and casual settings. The cloud is always available, and needs minimal training and pre-requisite knowledge to interact with. It grants the user a broad network access with minimal drawbacks, as it can be accessed through most mobile devices such as phones, laptops, and tablets. This makes it very appealing to both customers and the vendors. To be more specific, the cloud offers resource pooling, rapid elasticity, and measured service. Resource pooling means that all the data is stored on one single server, where all users can interact with this at the same time. This is helpful to business because it makes transmitting data to the company or to clients is now incredibly simple and only uses one server. Rapid elasticity is a term that means the server can rapidly change its size to suit its needs. This means if there is a sudden influx of data being sent and received, the cloud can increase its size and maximum bandwidth to properly suite...

This way he will maximise cost savings and profits by quoting above the MC on the decreasing MC curve. insert two figures: one with MC flat, one with MC going diagonally down he would make a bulk order if he knew there was a decreasing MC curve but if MC is flat, he would be impartial to whether or not use 1 or more suppliers Ray has the advantage so will take first, if he didn’t have this perfect knowledge he would take second Practically, if Ray does not have perfect knowledge, but instead has fairly accurate information about the supplier’s costs, what are some of the potential problems that Ray might face? Can these problems be mitigated (and how)? Ensure you explain your answer. Problems Ray may face include misjudging what the MC is i.e overstating it and offering too much (expensive, but supplier would accept), or understating it and offering too little (company don’t accept). to mitigate this Ray should offer under the MC - if it gets refused, he should re-submit multiple rounds of offers in reasonable business judgement increments. Ray should be weary of what other hardware is required in his purchase - the supplier...

...Short answer Question/Week 3 Debra Thompson, R.N. Nur 478/week 3 September 1, 2015 Marjorie Jessen, DNP, FNP Short Answer Question As nursing has become an advanced, specialized and independent field, her role is changing. Every action made, by the nurse, she must maintain accountability and take responsibility for all decision made. Ensure that efficient and effective care is provided to protect the hospital and the patient within her care. Within this realm of her responsibility, she must also function under the law and her nursing code of ethics. To practice within the law, and the code of ethics, decisions are more difficult with the evolving medical technology and expanding autonomy scope of practice. As the role of nursing changes, there have also been an increasing number of implications in medical malpractice cases, concerning nurses, when in the past most of these cases are, referred to physicians. Some of the causes for the nurses’ implication is because they work long hours, the stressful work environment, and the decreased staffing. With all of these added stressors related to the profession, an indicator that have been a factor and prominent problems for some of the nurses’ malpractice suits is impairment on duty. With this dilemma, what would you do if you discovered a co-worker or very close friend that was impaired by drugs or alcohol? A moral turmoil presents, as what to do with the situation, once you suspected. What would be even harder...

...Clostridium perfringens is a food borne illness that causes close to a million illnesses every year. This illness is in itself a bacteria that is already located in the intestines, if the number of c.perfringens that is in your body increases it causes the effects of the bacteria to activate. Everyone is already carrying this bacteria in their body, however, they run the risk of getting “infected” if they do not follow certain rules about cooking and storing their food. This infection is transmitted through different types of food, most meat and poultry. The C. perfringens spores spread in poorly cooked meat and food that is left standing out too long. That is why we are told to reheat our food if it has gotten cold, or immediately store it in the refrigerator if we will not be eating it immediately. The bacteria grows most between 109F- 117F. Once you have stored the leftovers it must be keep in the fridge below 40F and must be reheated to 165F to ensure that the bacteria is killed. In most cases the outbreak or symptoms of this food borne illness is diarrhea and vomiting. This illness is not too deadly as it usually last 24 hours and in severe cases for one to two weeks. If this were to be a major outbreak in the United States the longest business would probably be out of service is two weeks. This disease can be treated by drinking plenty of water to keep yourself hydrated. For cases that are severe intravenous fluids and electrolyte replacement can be used to prevent and/or...

...The Loon Study Questions 1. What is the relationship between Vanessa and Piquette, and how does this relationship change? Vanessa's feelings towards Piquette change from discomfort to curiosity to embarrassment. 2. How are the Metis represented in the story? “if that half-breed youngster comes along to Diamond Lake, I'm not going” (188) Vanessa's images of Natives are drawn solely from literature, and these representations are only superficially positive. When Piquette doesn't reveal nature's secrets, Vanessa concludes “as an Indian, Piquette was a dead loss” (191) 3. What do the loons symbolize? “My dad says we should listen and try to remember how they sound, because in a few more years when more cottages are built at Diamond Lake and more people come in, the loons will go away” (190-91). Years later when Vanessa visits the lake, after the deaths of her father and Piquette, she realizes that the loons are no longer there. The loons become associated with death and loss, and while symbolic of Piquette, they are also an allegory of Canadian history. 4. What does Vanessa mean by the last sentence of the story? When Vanessa encounters Piquette as a young woman, she recognizes in Piquette what she hears in the loons' cries—“self-pity” (192) and “terrifying hope” (193); when Vanessa learns of Piquette's death soon after, she responds with silence. Vanessa's personal loss—of her father and of Piquette—is connected through the symbol of the loons...

...The Higgs Boson’s conflict with Theology Klynton Rhodes Georgia Southern University The Higgs Boson’s conflict with Theology A scientific discovery is also a religious discovery. There is no conflict between science and religion. Our knowledge of God is made larger with every discovery we make about the world. –Joseph H. Taylor Jr, God Evidence According to Steve Paulson (2010) “The debate over science and religion is like catnip for anyone wanting to spout off about the improbability of God or the arrogance of scientists”(p.1). Since I was young I remember being told that no matter what I learned in science class about evolution, or the big bang, that God was real. According to Dr. Agustin Fuentes of Psychology today “There are some factions of Christianity whose leaders (and thus their followers) express adamant opposition to “evolution” and this is often used as the key example in the science vs. religion conflict.” Examples of controversial scientific discoveries such as cloning, and genetic manipulation, are considered to be inhumane. In my opinion God created science for humans to better understand the world he created, and according to Steve Paulson (2010) Albert Einstein shared my belief demonstrated when he stated “ Science without religion is lame; religion without science is blind” (p.3). It is well known that some people believe that the universe was started with the big bang as well as the subsequent reactions that followed. This brings into the discussion...

As Lynn headed out to go shopping, she already knew her four-year-old son was in a bad mood. All that day he had been doing all that he could to frustrate her. First, he chose not to eat breakfast and then he spilled apple juice all over the carpet. He categorically refused to put on his red jacket and continuously tried to unbuckle his seatbelt in the car. Since they had arrived at the shopping mall, he had been whining continuously for 20 minutes and demanding they go to the toy store immediately. The mother’s patience finally ran out...

...Timed Test, Short Answer Test, Analysis Test, and Personal Essay Test. Each of them has different range of difficulty, based on how long the time needed to finish them. Let us take a look of these brief explanations about the four types of assessment, before we decide which one is the easiest to do. TIMED TEST Timed test is the type of assessment in which you will be given limited time to answer the questions. The test does not care how many questions you get wrong, but rather how many you get right. Many students don’t do well on timed tests because they get stuck on a question or spend too much time on each question, as they want to make sure it is correct, but they end up running out of time. Timed Test will actually help students to manage their time well. Let’s say, students are given 100 questions in 100 minutes. It means they have one minute at the most to answer each question. They have to make sure they don’t exceed one minute time otherwise they will get less time to finish the next questions. In this kind of test, students are expected to work fast, and not doing too much thinking on the same question. The goal is to finish the test no matter what. SHORT ANSWER TEST Short answer test are open-ended questions that require students to create an answer. They are commonly used in examinations to assess the basic knowledge and understanding (low cognitive levels) of a topic before more in-depth assessment questions are asked on the topic. Short answer tests do not...
