...guessed that hover boards will not need wheels; or will they? If you can build a hover board with wheels then that will make it easier for landing, but it will not make it very aerodynamic and it also adds weight. If something is to fly it is important that it is as light as possible. If a hover board loses its air underneath or its ground cushion it will settle back to Earth and then when it touches the ground too fast and goes through the ground cushion then the rider will be stopped as if he hit a rock on the sidewalk that stopped his wheels. This will deject the rider and might cause injury or worse hurt the rider's pride. Generally skateboard riders have the agility to keep from injury due to minor stoppages....

...Going to Oahu, Hawaii with my family was a dream come true, and the fact that we went during the frigid winter months was wonderful. While residents in Iowa were freezing in -40 degree weather, we were soaking up the sun in the 90 degree heat. Days were spent laying in the sand, swimming in the ocean, and driving around the island. A day spent driving around the island really opened us up to the beauty the island possesses. The day spent driving lead us to North Shore, the surfing destination of the world. North Shore was definitely my favorite location in Oahu. If you look into the distance while standing on the beach, you will see massive waves crashing into the sand and knocking surfers off their boards, oblivious to what had just happened....

...CC: Executive Management Team From: Jane Doe Date: July 1, 20XX Re: Our Target Goal Atha Corportaion is determined to double its sales. The goal is simple but the movement requires tactics, innovation and all man on board. It should be within our interest to retain our employees. This can only be done through training and development so that we sharpen the skills and talents of employees and retain the skills within our organization. Although employees are our greatest asset as they possess human intelligence, this can further be reinforced by adopting new leading edge technology and new investment (Ivey Business Journal, 2015). The executive management team has great expectations and believes this is an all-important venture. Of course, in order for us, the corporation to meet its goals, we need all departments to work interdependently because no one department can achieve the company’s goals on its own. Therefore, each department should seek ways and means to develop its employees and develop goals that are SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, and reasonable and time specific). As mentioned before, our greatest asset is our employees. Our goals can only be achieved through them. As a result, any negative atmosphere that hovers in any department pertaining to employee relations should be corrected immediately. If we improve the employee morale, we raise the standard of the corporation. We also motivate employees so that each team can reach its objectives...

...toys around in the hour glass to serve as obstacles. (Note in placing objects, go back to the end and make sure there is not easy straight path through from start to finish) Line the narrow center with cones/objects (so everyone must cross over). Leave 3 squeaky toys in there as well. [edit] Directions The object is to get the entire team from the “start” to the “finish” going through the minefield. Everyone must go through. While participants are in the minefield, they must be blindfolded. If a participant steps on a “mine” or on or outside the boundary line, he or she is frozen. Someone else in the field may unfreeze that person by stepping on a squeaky toy. (Participants may unfreeze more than one person, but one person may not “hover” at a squeaky toy. Teammates outside the minefield may only verbally guide the blindfolded people. They may not physically touch them! Competition between different teams can be made by keeping score of the number of "mines" each team hits (both on the way to the finish, and while backtracking back to the start), or by keeping track of the amount of time it takes to get the whole team successfully across. If in a...

...Should Self-Driving Vehicles be Legal? Self-driving vehicles are one of those things that seem to be very futuristic and out of reach to achieve like hover boards or automatic gas stations, but these vehicles actually aren’t that far into the future. They have actually already been developed. Google’s director of the self-driving car program, Chris Urmson, has already been doing test with self-driving cars, one including where they drove a car 300,000 miles and did not report to have hit a single thing (1). It sounds great, but self-driving cars are going to have to come a long ways still to become legal on todays state roads. Self-Driving vehicles should not be legal until science can prove that they are safer then the average human driver 100% of the time....

...Jarod Kent Generating solutions using futuring Module 3 October 20, 2015 Futuring is essentially the idea of imagining yourself in a particular situation where you are in the future. In this small essay, I will be picturing myself in four different scenarios placed in different timelines in the future. First, I will picture myself in 2020, four years and two months from now, making a telephone call. The second hypothetical scene, I will picture myself in 2025 doing a homework assignment. The third scenario, I will place myself in 2050 eating a meal with my family. The forth scenario, I will picture myself almost 100 years from now in 2125 doing a homework assignment. With these scenarios I will use the technique, futuring, to image myself in the future and explain each setting. Now, what would happen if I, at the age I am now, was in the year 2020? What would happen if I were to make a phone call in 2020? Phones then have become foldable. You can place them in your pockets with very little cases with cracked phones from their convenient folding ability. Though, only five years from now, folding with some major phone upgrades are the only prevalent ideas with phones. The problem is that with these foldable phones, battery life has become a very heavy issue with foldable phones because the battery cannot exceed past the foldable dimensions of each phone. So what would happen in 2025, ten years from now in the future while doing homework? I honestly do not believe that...

...myself would not deny herself to me. my companion must be of the same species and have the same defects. this being you must create”. Victor Frankenstein accepts to make the new creature for him but when he brings it to life and kills and upsets the creature even more, while Victor devotes his life in hunting down the creature and killing it. In the end Victor is dying and telling a captain to kill the creature if it comes on board when he is dead and kills it so his creation is no more. “ Yet, when I am dead, if he should appear; if the ministers of vengeance should conduct him to you, swear that he shall not live--swear that he shall not triumph over my accumulated woes, and survive to add to the list of his dark crimes. he is eloquent and persuasive; and once his words had even power over my heart; but trust him not. His soul is as hellish as his form, full of treachery and fiend like malice. Hear him not; call on the names of William, justine, clerval, Elizabeth, my father, and of the wretched Victor, and thrust your sword into his heart. I will hover near and direct the steel aright”(chapter7 Page...

...PlayStation models; it is a red capital P standing over a yellow, green, and blue striped upper case S lying flat on under the P. Sony’s brand name logo is very recognizable because it is their name, however, I feel that it lacks a certain quality that would promote the brand; there is nothing special about their logo. I think that Sony’s logo for their PlayStations does a superior job promoting the brand because whenever someone sees PlayStations PS logo they immediately recognize it as PlayStation; it is far more eye catching than just the word Sony. The second reason I like Sony is because of VR. There’s something so fantastically science-fiction about the concept of virtual reality. It’s the closest thing we have to jetpacks and hover-boards, those futuristic technologies we watched on TV as kids, and read about in books. And with virtual reality, we’ll be able to finally drive in flying cars and take trips to the moon. Because VR is so steeped in science-fiction, I can’t help but also recall the dire warnings: People lost in alternate worlds, virtual reality junkies, incapable or unwilling to unplug. Perhaps anti-social isn’t even the right word—unsocial, detached, and isolated. When we play games on the TV or our PC or phone, we’re often playing in proximity to others, and for better or worse the experience is often shared. VR encourages a new kind of selfishness. One really cool, really crucial feature of Sony’s Project Morpheus is the ability to mirror the VR screen...

...There are times when I get a message on my computer in class and my natural instinct is to engage in the conversation, losing interest in the lecture. Sometimes I turn on a show rather than doing homework which is a distraction and a waste of time. The technology is a distraction at times but it is about how much self-control I have to go to not get distracted and stay focused. As I read my assignment I see the Netflix icon on my favorites list and my mouse hovers over it. It’s almost as if that show is calling my name. A pro and con list pops up in my head and the realization that I need to do my homework comes to me, reflecting my self-control. Electronic media holds distractions that can be overcome to be able to use this resource positively to gain...

...New Hampshire is the cost of Health Insurance in our state. The cost of health insurance in New Hampshire is over $8000 per person compared to $6000 in the lowest ranking states. I also found according to a University of Connecticut study New Hampshire has one of the highest cost of manufacturing in the nation. Electricity costs in the state are also high, as they are in all of New England. According to data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, in June 2010, the retail price of electricity in New Hampshire averaged 14.63 cents per kilowatt-hour - nearly on par with the New England average of 14.93 cents, making the region the most expensive in the contiguous United States. In Southern and Midwestern states, electricity costs hover between 7 cents and 9 cents per KwH. So what changed? I think the other states...

...SHUI FABRICS Introduction Shui Fabrics is a fabric company based in China. The company is a 50%-50% joint venture between Shanghai Fabric Ltd., Chinese company and Rocky River Industries, U.S. Textile manufacturer. The company produces dye and coat fabric for domestic and international sportswear markets. There are several differences between the American and Chinese views of the company. Let’s discuss some of the ways the two countries differ in regards to the GLOBE project value dimensions. Differences between American and Chinese perspectives The first difference deals with the humane orientation dimension. The Chinese are concerned with job creation, because their unemployment hovers around 20 percent. With this joint venture they would be able to employ around 3,000 people, which is a real contribution to the local economy. The Americans think we should cut workers in order to make a higher profit. The Americans are more concerned with bottom dollar and not the people. The second difference deals with the performance orientation dimension. Chiu Wai, Chinese deputy general manager’s, point of view on the return on investment (ROI) is that they generate an appropriate level of profits “not too little and not too much”, he is satisfied with the 5 percent ROI. Ray Betzell is the American general manager, and his boss and President of Rocky River Industries, is Paul Danvers. Danvers thinks the 5 percent ROI is pathetic and that he expected around 20 percent ROI...
