...streets, making both safer. Also, there was an improvement in people’s eyesight as the use of candlelight decreased. Thomas Edison hired Lewis Latimer in 1890 at the Edison Electric Light Company, which is now known as General Electric, where he served as chief draftsman and patent expert. During his tenure there, he wrote “Incandescent Electric Lighting: A Practical Description of the Edison System”. Presently, this is the most thorough book on electric lighting. Along with acquiring many other patents, writing poetry and music, Latimer also worked to improve civil right for African-Americans in the United States. He died December 11, 1928. Otis Boykin, among other things, invented a control unit for the pacemaker. Boykin was born in Texas during 1920. In 1959, while working for P.J. Nilsen Research Laboratories, he invented and sought a patent for a wire precision resistor which would later be used in radios and televisions. While in Paris in 1964, he invented the control unit for the pacemaker. This is the invention he’s most known for. He died in 1982…of heart failure. Valerie Thomas used technology to help make advancements in space. Thomas, born in 1943, in Maryland, was not encouraged to pursue or excel in science, unlike her male counterparts. Though she had no support system, she persevered and became one of only two women to graduate from Morgan State University with a major in physics. Naturally, she became a data analyst at NASA. In late 1970, Thomas managed...

...MULTI-SKILLING BARRIERS IN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY IN NORTH-WESTERN NIGERIA Nasiru Adamu1, Mohammed Hassan Nensok2 and Adefemi Aka3 Department of Quantity Surveying, Waziri Umaru Federal Polytechnic, Birnin Kebbi. Nigeria Department of Building, Waziri Umaru Federal Polytechnic, Birnin Kebbi, Nigeria The need to improve productivity and cost effectiveness has made some companies to adopt a multi-skilling labour strategy where workers can work across their traditional occupational boundaries. The study assessed the problems and barriers of multiskilling using a cross-sectional survey of construction workers in some selected cities in north-western Nigeria. Descriptive statistics was used in the analysis. Results show that lack of training and limit on human skill retention by workers are among the major barriers of multi-skilling. It was concluded that multi-skilling can lead to improved productivity and cost effectiveness if these barriers are minimised. It was recommended that construction companies should provide adequate training for their workers so that they can be multi-skilled. Keywords: construction industry, multi-skilling, productivity INTRODUCTION Two of the most critical challenges facing the construction industry are the limited availability of skilled labour and the increasing need for productivity and cost effectiveness (Hegazy et al. 2000). One potential solution already being used by some companies is multiskilling (Dada and Ekpe, 2006). It is argued...

SEVERAL YEARS LATER, TTHE SECOND CONFERENCE WAS HELD IN 1996 AT MESSIAH COLLEGE, IN GRANTHAM, PENNSYLVANIA. THE 1999 CHRISTIAN ENGINEERING EDUCATION CONFERENCE BROUGHT TOGETHER A DIVERSE GROUP OF DEDICATED CHRISTIAN ENGINEERS. IT WAS A DISTINCT PLEASURE TO HEAR THE WONDERFUL WAYS GOD IS WORKING IN THE VARIOUS PROGRAMS AND SCHOOLS REPRESENTED AT OUR MEETING. THE JUNGLE AVIATION AND RADIO SERVICE (JAARS) FACILITY OF WYCLIFFE WAS A FANTASTIC LOCATION FOR OUR CONFERENCE, AND WE ARE VERY THANKFUL TO OUR GRACIOUS HOSTS. A SPECIAL THANKS GOES TO CAROL WEAVER, THE JAARS CONFERENCE COORDINATOR. The goal of these conferences is to glorify God, to foster community among Christian engineering educators, and to encourage and challenge each other in our work of kingdom building. Abraham Kuyper, one of the great thinkers within the Reformed tradition of Christianity, has said that there is not one square centimeter of the creation that is not claimed by Christ. As Christian engineering educators of whatever tradition, we seek to stake that claim in our discipline, exploring how...

The organization also has responsibility for settling transactions in the state’s wholesale spot market for electricity. But the term “ERCOT” also is used loosely in other ways. For instance, the term can describe the geographical footprint for retail electric deregulation in Texas. It is also sometimes used to describe the state’s wholesale energy market. This report touches upon policy questions relating to all these conceptualizations of ERCOT: as an organization, as an energy market, and as the area of Texas with competitive electric suppliers. To distinguish between these meanings, the term “ERCOT” will be used whenever practicable to refer to the organization, “the ERCOT region” will be used to refer to deregulated areas of the state...

...John Paul G. Cordova ME2-1 “Today’s Computers: How Did They Evolve?” I. Introduction A. Background of the Topic - The topic, entitled “Today’s Computers: How Did They Evolve?”, just like the life of a person, also has its own backgrounds, from the simplest form to its complex form. In other words, computers of today have their own histories. As I continue this term paper, you will be discovering the history behind the evolution of computers. B. Importance of the Topic - This topic is important to be known by the community because computers are very useful nowadays. As a student, knowing the story behind the evolution of computers is important in order for me to understand the computers more efficiently. For teachers, it is also important for them to know the history behind the evolution of computers because they also use computers in order to finish their jobs more accurately, making them aware of the computer’s history. II. Body of the Document A. Evolution of Computer in the late 16th century, the 18th century, and the early 19th century: 1. “Abacus was the first counting device, which is originally made from Asia. It worked on a place-value notion meaning that the place of a bead or rock on the apparatus determined how much it was worth. During the 1660s, John Napier discovered logarithms.
