Using consumerism to ‘eradicate’ poverty Taking public space/barring imagination Collaboration with oppressive regimes Hypocritical Health Campaign induced by Self-Interest Excessive Pay Management 1. Promoting consumerism Unilever spends a lot of energy and money on marketing and commercialisation of consumer products all over the world (‘Paint the World Yellow’ – the Lipton marketing campaign which provide everything with the Lipton Logo, from surfboards to Chevrolets—was a tremendous success, according to Unilever. It created a much bigger Lipton Logo awareness amongst consumers.) Since the Northern consumer market is saturated (so not much room left for expansion of market shares) Unilever aims at maximising the processing of food, which means adding value to ‘improve’ products and then charge more for these products. Unilever changes the product only slightly (e.g. strawberry toothpaste), or just changes the visual language in order to sell exactly the same product. Naturally this process involves heavy advertising. Many of the ‘improved’ products are basically useless, and there is no demand for them (the demand is being manufactured by the...

...The Colonial Legacy in African Management: West Africa (1950s to 1970s) and South Africa (1990-2000s) Stephanie Decker sdecker@hbs.edu Abstract The colonial legacy in Africa has determined the development of management on the continent, as the comparison between the historical case of Africanisation in Ghana and Nigeria in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s with South Africa in the 1990s and 2000s highlights. Despite the fact that Ghana and Nigeria were not settler colonies, when white managers were replaced with blacks (who previously only occupied subordinate positions in the colonial or Apartheid systems), most companies in Africa faced similar problems. In the quest for legitimacy in the eyes of local elites and the international community companies were tempted to resort to ineffectual window-dressing, or failed to develop the talent of black staff who face disapproval not only from white but also from less successful black colleagues. In case of successful promotion of black managers, skilled white personnel was often driven away by the lack of opportunities, while capable black staff was frequently poached with better offers by competitors. The creation of a black elite with significantly higher income than the majority population was also frequently divisive and undermined corporate social responsibility claims.

Makers are shifting from strategic management to reformate-based management of their information systems. Companies carefully think both strategic advantage and their costs. They use productivity, return on their investment ROI, net present value, and other measures of performance to evaluate the contributions their information systems make to their business. 3. Check the reliability monitor. Performance monitor. Performance monitor can be accessed from your actions center, or a command and prompt. Enter redmon.exe.

...complaints and fix the next version. VERY BAD quality control, but they are MS and can get away with it. Microsoft is and will at least in my lifetime remain on top of the business world simply because they have to budget to make what would seem to most companies catastrophic errors in releasing products such as Vista. Enough of why Windows can get away with this and let’s jump into some of the features and how Windows 7 became what it is today. Let’s start with the notorious UAC feature. User Account Control is still part of Windows 7. However, Microsoft has tweaked the feature so that it's less intrusive, but it's not clear whether that means you're actually more or less secure than you were in Vista. UAC was one of the biggest changes in Vista. It made the OS overall more secure than previous versions of Windows and that was probably the biggest complaint about other versions of Windows, the security. Overall I feel it was a step in the right direction. There is only so much you can do to secure an OS once it’s in the hands of the user and I think the overall goal of the UAC implementation was to try to get the user to understand what he or she is doing could potentially infect their PC. The feature ended up making everyone from the educated user to the novice mad or frustrated at the fact that you constantly had to enter your log-in information. I feel that they now have it almost where it should be in Windows 7 by giving the user options. Windows 7 was also a success due...

...ACA1 Tax Treatments for Individual Returns (Task 302.2.3) A. Recommended Tax Filing Status From the two filing statuses that the couple can use, the most advantageous for them would be married filing jointly and not married filing separately. A1. Explain your recommendation based on current, applicable tax laws. The reason that using the married filing jointly status is more advantageous for the couple is that taxes will be lower than if they filed as married filing separately. Filing jointly provides more tax benefits and the tax rate is generally lower. They will qualify for five exemptions, one for each of the dependent children, all under the age of 19 and that they provide over half the support for, and one personal exemption for each spouse. Since the couple has calculated the rent, food and other family contribution for Spouse B’s mother support at $7,000 per year, and she contributes $7,920 per year, they cannot claim her as a dependent. This being that they did not provide over half the support for her. In addition, filing jointly would also benefit them as they can claim credits, deductions and exclusions which they would not be able to if filing separately. The couple can claim $3,000 in capital losses as opposed to only $1,500 if filing separately, and exclude up to $500,000 on the sale of their primary residence as opposed to only $250,000 if filing separately.

The central dogma of molecular biology is an explanation of the flow of genetic information within a biological system. It was first stated by Francis Crick in 1956 and re-stated in a Nature paper published in 1970. Variables: Control setup: Original DNA strand. Independent variable: The base pairing. Dependent variable: vasopressen protein Hypothesis: NONE Materials: pen or pencil, paper and lab sheet Procedures: Part A: • Make a data table and copy the letters into a section labeled DNA. • Create three more sections and label mRNA, tRNA, and amino acids. • Write down the letters that corresponds to the original DNA. Part B: • Starting from AUG in the RNA section, cirlce AUG and from there on put slashes every three letters. • Using figures 2 and 3, write down the names in three letters, below the t-RNA column, that corresponds to the t-RNA anticodons. • The proteain that should be deciphered is vasopressin.

...Unix/Windows Systems Review for Riordan Manufacturing Micah Gerber POS/420 December 21, 2012 Charles Mathieu Abstract Riordan Manufacturing is the leader in the plastic injection molding industry with facilities in both the United States and China. As a large global operation, having adequate systems in place to support the organization network and databases is of upmost importance. A critique which addresses the benefits and disadvantages of using UNIX or Linux versus Microsoft Windows Server within Riordan Manufacturing will be completed by Team A. Areas to be addressed within the critique will cover security, administration, networking, performance, programmability, and reliability as it relates to UNIX or Linux and Microsoft Windows Server. Riordan Manufacturing currently has a combination of Unix and Windows servers which support the organization, however, the team will recommend that the organization standardize it’s systems to support one platform across the agency. Through this recommendation Riordan’s Manufacturing infrastructure will have one platform Security Review The histories of both Windows and UNIX security development have taken diametric paths. The Windows operating system (OS) is monolithic by design, which means that most of the features are integrated into a single unit and is located into the core of the OS. UNIX, on the other hand is based on the core of the operating systems residing in a distributed manner where...

...Windows Vista In this project I will cover Windows Defender, Windows Firewall and User Account Control. TASK #1 Windows Defender Surfing the internet is not safe anymore. You can visit a website and next thing you know you have received some virus just by accessing the website. You can purchase Malware and Spyware programs, but Microsoft has introduced Windows Defender in Vista. Defender is a built in program that comes with Windows Vista to keep spyware and other unwanted software from infecting your computer. It does this in 3 ways: * There is “Real-time protection” that alerts you when attempts to access your computer and install software are done. * There is “SpyNet” which is message board that people can look to see how others responded to software not yet classified for risks. Anyone can participate and post their comments on what they experienced with certain software programs. * Finally you can utilize the “Scanning” feature and have Windows Defender scan your computer for spyware and other unwanted software. Windows Firewall Back in 2001 when Windows XP was released, it included a limited firewall call “Internet Connection Firewall”. Because of compatibility issues and difficulty reaching the options for the program it was rarely used. Due to several Worms attacking users who didn’t have a firewall or didn’t use the difficult “Internet Connection Firewall”, Microsoft came back with the new and improved “Windows Firewall” which was in the SP2...

...“It doesn’t get PC viruses” to “It’s built to be safe” (Mlot, 2012). Since malware really only exploits existing bugs or holes in an operating system, it is up to Apple to fix those holes, and they do a pretty good job of it. But in any case, it’s better to be safe than sorry. Some pretty good Mac antivirus include MacKeeper, Kaspersky, and Trend Micro (Sutherland, 2014). Preventative Maintenance With the threats to OS X made real, there are some simple tricks to keep a Mac up and running. The first of which is the ever-important data backup. Time Machine, is Apple’s all-in-one backup program similar to the Acronis True Image available on Windows. This lets you back up just your files, or even take a “snapshot” of your computer exactly how it is in a large image file, and store it on an external drive. As with any system though, updates are important. These will keep a system as patched as possible and able to withstand a lot of attacks. The Mac...

...Installing, configuring and administering a client Operating system Introduction The operating system is the most important program that runs on a computer. Computers rely on an operating system to supply the interface for interaction between the user, applications and hardware. The operating system is responsible for booting the computer and manages the file system. It is possible for an operating system to support more than one user task or even CPU (central Processing Unit). All computers must have an operating system it is the program that controls almost all of the functions on your computer. Any decisions that are made during the process of installation will have significant ramifications on how people will use that computer throughout its operational lifetime. Choosing an Operating System There are three main operating systems in use today these are: 1. Microsoft Windows: The current version is Windows 8.1 although this is not the most popular distribution offered by Microsoft, the most widely use is Windows 7 which according to http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/O/operating_system 48.77% of computers are using windows 7 This statistic is verified by http://thenextweb.com/microsoft in 2014 2. Mac OS: Made by the Apple corporation and is very much a proprietary operating system that is made available when apple products are purchased, such as the MacBook Pro laptop. 3. Linux: This is an open source operating system that comes in many different...
