...day? It could be because your child is spending too much time on electronics. When your child has too much screen time, their entire mood and behavior is changed. Their brain can actually be damaged from too much screen time. The American Academy of Pediatrics estimates that the average child and adolescent spends as much as seven hours a day looking at a screen, whether it be video games, tablets, cell phone, computer or TV. There are a number of studies that connect delayed cognitive development in children with extended exposure to electronics as well as many other effects....

...think differently about technology. It has showed me that many times, we rely on technology too much. Dependence on technology erodes community. Online and offline, when it comes to computers, phones and other such devices, you have created the potential for major distraction and danger. Distraction in the sense that one can spend too much time or too much energy trying to better yourself (often against others) through the technology you have. If you are focusing on how to help others, not on how many more gigabytes you can download with a certain machine, you can be a society that prides practical support for each, over personal security in any virtual world. Danger in the sense that not everything you can encounter through technology is going to be of use to your well-being and/or, by extension, others. Take any of the pornography, alcohol or drug industries. Previously these had a much more limited influence. Now you can access them simply through a click. Community requires effort, and if you want your society to improve itself, it should have to put in an effort to help one another. Using these tools together, and not letting yourselves get sidetracked by their other purposes help you to be independent. You also want to stop society abusing itself because it can. Technological devices can be useful, but from a spiritual perspective, one has to take care of how they are used for everyone to benefit. We are getting too sucked in to the technical world. People today use technology...

...parents’ technology ownership by cloud security firm Westcoastcloud and posted on BBC news, 16% of children owned their own laptop while 18% had a flat-screen TV on their bedroom to use for. Having technology doesn’t mean anything by itself; the important thing is to know how children are using the technology they have in their hand. Although, most parents agreed to make their children technology owners, parents still have mixed ideas how much they control what their children are doing online because children want to do what their minds ask them to do. The survey doesn’t show any solution to the problem children face and how their parents can help them. However, I believe it is very important for parents to make sure what kind of websites are their children accessing on the internet and be able to answer what their children ask them about the internet to give the support that their children need to be safe and get the most out of their technology. Maggie Atkinson, the children commissioner for England, explains how new technology could leave children lonely and have a negative impact on their lives .She also describes when students stay for after hour school by using new technology and video games, they could alienated. These days children are claiming "too many" because they spend most of their time using different kinds of technology like internet, phone, and video games and know everything found on them. As we all know children like to practice...

...Case 09/25/2012 1. Why are the lead times so long? 2.5 points There are many reasons to explain why the lead times at H.C. Starck, Inc. were so long. A variety of explanations can be made, in which all were mentioned by various members of the H.C. Starck, Inc. team or through inferences made by management. To begin, H.C. Starck, Inc. experienced lead times that were longer than expected because there was a belief that the manufacturing time was taking far too long, although no hard data was provided to support this. Also, Lee Sallade, who was the director of Operations for H.C. Starck, Inc., believed that although focusing on lead time was important, focusing on it solely would be a significant error in all aspects. He felt that in addition to controlling lead time that overall cycle time needed to be accounted for, as well, which may have also led to the lead times lasting for such an extended period of time. Lee emphasized that cycle time and inventory were very important to the company, but both were very difficult to control since H.C. Starck, Inc. held such a significant amount of tantalum inventory. Lastly, Lee felt that managing data was crucial to success, and he was concerned that many of the operational decisions of the company were based on myths or “hear say” and that, “rigorous data collection and analysis could help to break out of this mode of operation.” Another explanation as to why lead time may have been so long for H.C. Starck, Inc....

...Sandra Thiel had frequently told them that if there were problems in the group, the members should make an effort to deal with them first. If the problems could not be resolved, she had said that they should come to her. Mike seemed so distant, despite the apparent camaraderie of the first meeting, but he only has one week now to complete something. If he were able to come up with something the whole group could agree has enough merit to justify including, then fine however, if the group feels that too much time has passed and that Mike had plenty of time but did not display any concern or commitment, then he’s officially “under the bus”. I have identified some primary and secondary problems the group is currently facing at this point of the process. For one the group seems to be just cruising along without the contribution of Mike and doing just fine. Mike has a commitment to this group and it’s for a grade which means Christine should have been reminding him of that during the time when he was blowing them off. I understand what...

...simple understanding. My daughter has a way of coming up with awkward question and at times you are baffled with their unexpected questions. One such thing happens to me sometimes back. The T.V was on but I wasn’t really watching, my mind was plastered on the meeting that I was going to be held tomorrow, but my daughter’s curiosity had the better of me. It was 19:30 and during the news report it was inevitable that the PM had to be mentioned. My daughter precipitously looked at me with a puzzle face and asked “Dad, what is a Prime Minister.” It took me sometimes before I could response; my daughter was only nine years old. I tried to explain that a Prime Minister is a leader of a group of individuals who takes decision for all people in a country and ensure people live in peace, harmony and gets all the need we require. My daughter looked at me and said “So you are the Prime Minister” Great thinking. Yes as a matter of fact I am the Prime Minister of my house; I ensure peace, harmony and get all the needs for my family. From there on it was much easier to carry on the explanation. I am the Prime Minster of my house and there is another Prime Minster of the country in which there are many, many houses. Simple understanding for a complex question. Progressively when we grow up we are surrounded with sophisticated and contemporary thinking. With the passage of time unknowingly we lose our creativity and simplicity. In our complicated world simplicity and...

...In Social Time: The Heartbeat of Culture by Robert Levine with Ellen Wolff, author talked about different time senses in different countries and he shared his personal experience of different time senses in the article. After reading this article , one sentence got all my attention： “ Speed is frequently confused with progress”( page81,line3). For me, my parents and grandparents always warn me that time waits for no man, so I should finish things I need to do as soon as possible. Sometimes I can get really confused that do I really have to be that hurry? Can I slow myself down to finish something? So, when I saw this sentence, I really want to know if speed is progress. However, a question is not always wind up with a right answer or a wrong answer. We all know that time flies. As an old saying goes, “Time flies like an arrow , and time lost never returns.” Our life time is limited, but things we can experience in the world is unlimited. Faster we are, more meaningful things we can try. So, In many people’s opinion, speed definitely is progress. In the article, author shared his experience teaching in a Brazil college. Student there go to class around half an hour late and leave the class around half an hour late too, which means they are being late to do next thing for one hour or more. Nowadays, our life is so wonderful but very challenging at the same time. As a college student in the US, if i dont finish my work on time, I am not gonna get good grades.

...phone, notifying me that it is time to start another day with the same routine yet again. Sigh. When will this be over?, I think to myself. When can I just get one day out of the week where I can only worry about myself, abandon the needs of others, be relieved of the daily obligations of homework, and ignore a schedule. Just, when can I be free?! It’s 5:30 am and my phone is alarming me. “Five more minutes, please! I just got to sleep. I don’t think I’m going to work, I’m much too tired”, goes the thoughts that cloud my mind. It’s freezing in my room. I’m hoping that it didn’t snow overnight. Meanwhile, my snooze button has apparently failed me, blaring every, what seems to be, two minutes. “DAMNIT, I’m up!” I arise, sluggish. I stumble over clothes from the night before to turn on the lights. Here we go again. First things first, I walk to the bathroom, barefoot, and the tiles under me are artic, cramping my feet. I ignore the sensation, of course, and continue on with the start of my day. Great! Someone made a mess of the toothpaste, AGAIN. After finishing brushing my teeth, I run the shower water, run back to my room to undress, and grab a towel. By this time, I have realized that my comatose ways have gotten me backed up on time. “Ugh!, I complain to myself. Jumping into the shower, the water is still cold and my body begins to have spasms of pain. The water continues to warm while I indulge in such hot bliss, discounting all sense of time. After fully lathering my body...

...After watching the videos given, it shows that handling employees can be very difficult day to day causing stressful situations. All employees are different and perform tasks in diverse ways. I noticed that introverts tend to refresh by spending time alone. These people tend to lose energy from being around people for extended periods of time and mainly big crowds. If I had to take care of my employees that were introverts, I would make sure I perform my manners in a correct way. I would teach them new skills in a private setting, give them time and space, and I wouldn’t interrupt them. They have the tendency to think everything through before doing so. Likewise, in the video, it stated that introverts don’t necessarily like to be alone, they just prefer small group of friends. Therefore, extroverts develop energy from other people. In fact, they find their energy is weaker when they spend too much time alone. They revitalize this by being sociable. Extroverts, stated in the video, love to be around large crowds. If I were to handle my employees that were extroverts, I would respect their independence, compliment them, and allow them to explore their ideas and talk about thoughts. Taken as a whole, I would have to change my role when I’m managing introverts and extroverts. While watching the third video about perceivers and judgers, they tend to approach ideas in different aspects as well. Judgers approach life in a structured way by building plans and classifying their ideas...

...the local “Java Joe’s”, we cannot eliminate our daily need for food and basic necessities. Consequently, with the continued downturn in the economy, people have had to become more creative in finding ways to save money. Using coupons to aid in discounting products is widely becoming the method of choice. Consumers have had to make some very hard decisions based on income and necessities. We have all had to “tighten our belts” and “watch our pennies”. “During these hard economic times, many people are looking for new ways to save money on as many things as possible. Groceries, electric and other utility bills, as well as on other items like diapers and baby care supplies, cleaning supplies and paper products.” (How to Save Money With Grocery Coupons, 1999-2012) Along with the ever present thought of saving and keeping our hard earned dollars in mind, many have returned to the days of our grandmothers, known for saving their pennies. We realize that the economy will most likely not change and so it is time to take matters into our own hands. We must learn to live by a new set of rules and a new way of thinking when spending money and buying brand name items at the store is also no longer an option. Of course, I’m quite sure we have all heard of coupons, they have been around for years. In fact, your grandmother was most likely using...

...year old kid, on the verge of graduation, I had endless possibilities ahead of me. I could go to college. I could take a year or two to travel; maybe backpack through Europe. Heck, I could spend the summer sleeping in late and hanging out with my friends before setting off on my next adventure. The point is, high school was about to end and I was the captain of my own ship for the first time. I was about to embark on an uncharted voyage to whatever destination I desired with nothing to keep me from fulfilling my dreams and desires. At least that’s what I thought. My whole world was about to change and I was totally unaware. The bomb dropped about a month before graduation, and my ship sank like a ton of bricks. My girlfriend Christy was pregnant. Instead of being a young man about to take on the world, I was going to be a father. I honestly don’t remember how I felt when she first told me. I think mostly I was just numb. I remember her sitting across from me in the passenger seat of my Volkswagen Beetle, tears streaming down her face, gasping for breath through her sobs. She was terrified. I was too, but I knew I had to get my act together and try to be strong for us both. I mean, I was the man, right? I stretched across to her seat and tried as best I could to hold her and comfort her. I didn’t know what to say, so I just kept telling her everything would be ok, we would figure things out together, and that I loved her. I guess that’s what she needed because she started to calm...

What is your greatest weakness? I think my greatest weakness, When I'm working on a project, I don't want just to meet deadlines. Rather, I prefer to complete the project well ahead of schedule. Being organized wasn't my strongest point, but I implemented a time management system that really helped my organization skills. I like to make sure that my work is perfect, so I tend to perhaps spend a little too much time checking it. However, I've come to a good balance by setting up a system to ensure everything is done correctly the first time. I used to wait until the last minute to set appointments for the coming week, but I realized that scheduling in advance makes much more sense. Sometimes, I spend more time than necessary on a task, or take on tasks personally that could easily be delegated to someone else. Although I've never missed a deadline, it is still an effort for me to know when to move on to the next task, and to be confident when assigning others work. I had difficulty with calculus during college, but I persevered with tutoring assistance and extra...
