...CHAPTER I PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND Introduction Which is more useful? Which is fast and believable? Those are just few questions that will give us an idea if what is much more effective tool as source of information, the Cyber World or Reference Book? It is undeniable that Reference Book is one of the most common sources of information. It is because of the reliability of the author or writer of the books. The information printed on each pages is very acceptable. Many generations had past and almost everyone learned by the use of books. But in those generations that past is also the fast modernization in Information and Technology. Examples are computers, gadgets and internet that most people now are using in their daily lives are some of the reasons why people are slowly forgetting the role and special use of Reference Book.

...The American Trucking Company has recently been experiencing an increase in stolen loads—a loaded tractor/trailer is stolen and the load sold. Loads of merchandise are often worth thousands of dollars, sometimes exceeding the value of the tractor/trailer. American Trucking, while wishing to recover both the load and equipment, seeks a way to locate the tractor/trailer at all times so they can dispatch their security team to retrieve the load before it is sold on the black market (as well as to retrieve the truck/trailer before it is vandalized). They have engaged the services of Truck Locators, a provider of locating services to the trucking industry. Truck Locator’s Truck Finder services is a one-way messaging service that routes messages from the truck on the road to the trucking companies offices. The trucking company is provided with detailed information: GPS location of both the tractor and the trailer, speed of the truck/trailer, whether the trailer doors are open, how much weight is the trailer carrying, etc. Truck Locator’s installs a dedicated hardware unit on the truck and the trailer before the Truck Finder service can be used. Customers generally sign two contracts, one governing the dale of the hardware (devices) and the other providing the provision of the service. Service contracts generally have a duration of 12 months and are billed monthly. Service and devices are sold at standard rates, but discounts are offered depending on the number of units purchased...

...with a painstakingly polite letter designed to let her down, leaving no doubt as to his response, but to still preserve her sense of hope. His reply, writ June eighth 1762, convinces the mother that Johnson empathizes with her investment in her son’s education even though he lacks the ability and motivation to secure the patronage of the Archbishop for the woman’s son. Through the use of a variety of rhetorical devices, Johnson crafts a denial that leaves the mother with no delusions of receiving his aid. Johnson begins jos passage with a respectful tone, which he continues throughout. His first word, “madam,” indicates that Johnson views the mother as a respectable member of society, worthy of polite treatment. He addresses her with the proper etiquette to make her feel that Johnson has seriously considered her request and has thought out his response. At the same time, “madam” is not a familiar address, which prepares the mother for Johnson’s refusal to grant her a large, personal favor which requires “the general rules of action to be broken.” Johnson displays how the mother’s request deviates from the realm of possibility, and it is understandable that he would refuse to undertakes such a task for one whom his is not close to. Johnson’s use of “madam” alerts the mother from the first word that her request is unfitting and will not be granted. Johnson goes on to use personification and a metaphor to describe hope and hope lost. In this letter, hope represents the mother, her...

...Crafting Draft 1 21 April 2014 Cellphones are most common in society. The ease of access allows us to have the world at our fingertips 24 hours a day and we never have to unplug. We can surf the web, book a flight, check the weather, and message a friend 1000 miles away without leaving our bed. Texting has fast become the preferred form of communication for young adults; however, students need to be dissuaded from texting during class because of the result in loss of valuable class time, lack of effective communication skills, and consistent use of improper English leading to a negative impact on students’ learning. Maryellen Weimer, PhD recently posted in Teacher Professor Blog “most students don’t multi-task well. When they’re texting, looking at Facebook, or cruising on the Internet and listening to a lecture or discussion and trying to take notes, they aren’t dealing with the content as well as they would be if they just focused on listening and note taking.” For those students who cannot multi-task, the constant disruption interferes with their memory retention. This is not only a distraction to the student playing with their phone, but is can be a distraction to other students in the room. We’ve all had a moment where someone is fidgeting and we can’t help but stare, become memorized and zone out for a few moments. Texting requires a break in concentration from class to focus on sending or responding to a message. Class time is when a student...

...Men and Women are so Different when Shopping M. Vanessa Millan INFO 103: Computer Literacy I Shane Lauber July 16, 2012 Searching for information on Google is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Is that true? Was the library of the 19th century more efficient? Explain. I will disagree on the fact that searching for information on Google is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. I will sustain my disagreement, because if you know how to type the proper sentence of what we are looking for it will simplify the search. We must know exactly what kind of information we are looking for. We must empathize in which direction our search is going to. Also we must learn how to identify a valid and legitimate web site, by following the security criteria of the important elements which leads us into a secure web site. This secure rules like verifying the author’s biography, if the web site is supported by any government organizations, etc. The Library of 19th century was less efficient in fact of time saver, and accuracy of information, but I believe turns the new student generation into lazy brains. This new generation doesn’t know about reading books, looking for information by alphabetic order. The 2000 generation only knows about Google, Bing and search. How is searching in specific database, such as Ashford’s library, different from searching in Bing, Google, or Yahoo? First of all, Ashford’s University is a property database, (is the data base accessible...

...Abstract After reading the “Mr. Edens Profits from Watching His Workers Every Move” case study in our Contemporary Management textbook, our class was assigned to determine if Mr. Edens’ behavior was ethical and acceptable or unethical and unacceptable. Secondly, we needed to provide the rationale for our answers and provide examples. Mr. Edens has created a highly controlled workplace with close manager supervision and surveillance. Even though I don’t agree with this environment, I think Mr. Edens’ behavior has been ethical and acceptable. Lockbox Processing: No Place to Hide Mr. Edens’ company, Electronic Banking System Inc., specializes in “lockbox processing.” Due to the sensitive nature of this financial service, Mr. Edens has implemented many controls to monitor his employees. Workers handle thousands of dollars in checks and cash, and thus they need to be monitored closely. These controls are designed to limit theft which reassures customers that their money is safe. Managers sit at the front of the room on raised platforms; other supervisors watch employees from the rear. While some may consider this approach intrusive, these techniques exist in many workplaces today where employees come in direct contact with money. Mr. Edens’ employees work in an area called “the cage.” No talking is permitted, the windows are covered, and many common items that workers usually have at their desks are banned. Mr. Edens is able to monitor this environment with a series...

...“Normal” There is a time and place is what we are taught to think before we take action. If we are unable to do this successfully, we are thought to be a black sheep. I recognize this as I walk through the door of a 24-hour Starbucks during the middle of the night. Strangers are staying close to those who are familiar and keep to themselves, tinting a cool summer night with an uncomfortable silence similar to a library. Eyes wander; following the slightest movements of newcomers. When there is nothing to see, attention is moved elsewhere to something more unusual like the prostitute that just came in. She became pinned down by stares from those who recognized what she is. More than the standard three second stares and move on, bodies contort from where they sit. Eyebrows are raised; showing judgment of the subject that stands before them. Thoughts are running wild,” Wow so strange… I thought that the only place to see prostitutes are at random street corners… Gross… Doesn’t she know she would stand out at a place like this?... Poor thing…” Observing this, I realize that we are all so used to our own reality that, those who differ are considered unusual. She stands out against the crowd wearing all black. The cozy, romantic, lighting makes her appear as a slim silhouette among all of the random patterns and colors that surrounds her. Her face reveals an age varying from the mid to late forties, although, her body expresses an age greater than her own. The white contrasting...
