...Week 3: Assignment 2 Nicholas Anderson Professor Noah Horwitz PHI-210 Our ability to communicate is based around language. Every word we speak or write has a meaning and that meaning is interpreted by those we communicate with. Some words and phrases are more direct than others. Some have multiple meanings and some have meanings that are purely figurative as opposed to literal. When communicating with each other it is important to understand how those words are phrases may be interpreted and how it is received. To get a better idea of what figurative language is and how to use it, we will discuss 10 examples. Idiom: An idiom is a phrase or saying that has multiple meanings; a literal and a figurative. We use idioms everyday without consideration for their literal meanings because the figurative definition has become standard in out lexicon. An example of an idiom would be the saying someone "kicked the bucket". Most of us understand the meaning of this saying to be that someone has passed away or died. However, there is a literal meaning as well that some physically kicked a bucket. When this phrase is used it is understood to mean someone died, but the combination of words themselves taken at face value would mean that someone swung their foot and connected with a bucket. Analogy: An analogy is defined as a similarity between the like features of two things on which a comparison may be made. Analogies are a big part of our language in how we attempt to...

...into question when Yvonne says to, “have someone evaluate the various means we could use to deliver the training and make a recommendation of how we should proceed.” This leaves Brenda to try to figure out where to look for someone and to figure out when exactly the training is suppose to happen. The tone and style are on the casual style for a business memo. The whole thing is typed in one paragraph that is not as informative as it should be. The whole memo seems to be very casual and almost rushed. Yvonne should have taken her time to gather up some more information to more clearly state what is going to happen or what needs to happen. I would have informed Brenda of the dates that the new registers were coming, instead of saying in six weeks. I would have figured out the training schedule and when and where it...

...information from the Goal Setting and Motivation and the Time Management interactive presentations, respond to the following three questions: 1. Describe your time management plan to complete weekly assignments and participation goals. What specific days have you set aside for these activities? Your response must be between 50 and 75 words. I have chosen to log in daily to keep on top of things. That way if in the event I am unable to log in then I will not be short days. Also, I try to work on my assignmens daily. I have found this to work better for me. I do not like to wait until the last minute to complete anything. If I start on an assignement early then I have all week to work on it a little at a time. This gives me plenty of time to go over the assignement and to check for errors. Which works best for me and my schedule. 2. What is your time management plan to balance your academic, personal, and professional responsibilities? Your response must be between 50 and 75 words. My time management plan that I have put in place for myself is to work on school during lunch and when all work is complete at work. I will finish assignments. Weekends are normally busy around my house so I try to get everything completed before Friday. With having a son that is in school, I find it hard at times to do my work in evenings as well. If I do school assignments at home I try and wait until my son is asleep. This allows me to focus more on my task. Which is why it is so important...

...MGT 410 ASSIGNEMENT CONFLICT RESOLUTION PROPOSAL MOOKETSI NKAU 200902346 Conflict Resolution process between Boiteko PTY LTD and the City Coalition. The conflict at hand is very complex as it is composed of many different elements that have led to the conflict such as culture. This is evident due to the fact that the coalition believes that the values of the youth need to be deeply rooted in their families and neighborhood rather than diluted by those of people who do not share the same religious and cultural beliefs. Since the mayor and city clerk take no sides in the conflict and wish that an acceptable agreement may be reached that will benefit the community and bring about civic harmony. To achieve this an interest based approach would have to be adopted and integrative negotiation should be used with the hope of reaching a win win situation. PRE NEGOTIATION – Week before meeting Before dealing with the conflict certain measures should be undertaken to ensure that the meeting environment or atmosphere is set in a manner that will allow the conflict resolution process to run smoothly. The time and place of meeting should be one comfortable to both the disputants and neither one of the disputants should be put under pressure due to the selected time and venue. The disputants should be advised to fully prepare themselves to deal with the issue at hand honestly, positively and openly.

It represents the forgone opportunities. It is very important to all of us; it helps and guides our decisions in life. For every decision made, no matter the circumstances; work, school, business, life in general, we incurred a cost, the opportunity cost, what we must give up to obtain the chosen good. The opportunity cost of an item is the weight of another item from those that society have to trade off or give up in order to obtain it, that is the way that society allocates its scarce resources. ALSO, OPPORTUNITY COST IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE THEORY OF COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGE AND TRADE. -1 MARK. b. The province of British Columbia hosted the 2010 Olympic Games and invested millions of dollars in improvements to facilities for these events. How would one determine the opportunity cost of the 2010 Olympic Games? (4 marks) The opportunity cost for BC to host the games could be determine by evaluating and comparing what the province could do with the funds (tax payers money) and time that it will invest in the games against, the benefits that could bring to the to the province if BC against the benefits that that money and time will create if invested differently.

...ASSIGNEMENT OF SOCIAL SECURITY & LABOUR WELFARE Submitted to: - Submitted by:- Mrs. Gitika Gupta Group 1 CHANGE MANAGEMENT INTRODUCTION In a world that is increasingly fast paced and ever changing, the change management process is an integral part of any organization and manager. Whether planning a large fundamental change or a smaller incremental one, change must be planned and executed correctly and the following change management process will give direction in terms of content needed for successful transformation. It is an organizational process aimed at helping change stakeholders to accept and embrace changes in their business environment. Change management has typically been defined as a process involving unfreezing, moving, and refreezing values, practices, and procedures within organizations. Unfreezing refers to the creation of a perceived discrepancy between the existing and ideal state of an organization that generates a desire for change and lowers people’s resistance to change. Moving refers to the various processes such as training, education, and restructuring that lead to the development of new behaviors, attitudes, and beliefs. Refreezing regards re-establishing a new state of equilibrium within the organization by stabilizing the new patterns through a variety of support mechanisms. OBJECTIVES • Review the basics of change management and how change...

...MSc thesis Information security Passport of the Future: Biometrics against Identity Theft? Marijana Kosmerlj NISlab Høgskolen i Gjøvik marijana@erdal.biz 30 June 2004 Sammendrag Formålet med biometriske pass er å forhindre ulovlig adgang av reisende inn i et land og å begrense bruken av forfalskede reisedokumenter ved en mer nøyaktig autentisering av reisende. Etter den 11. september 2001 har interessen for bruk av slike biometriske pass økt kraftig. Biometriske pass vil bestå av et høykapasitets smartkort som vil inneholde et bilde av passinnehaveren i tillegg til annen type identitetsinformasjon. I passkontrollen vil ett foto bli tatt av passeieren og sammenlignet med fotoet lagret i passet. Et systemdefinert parameter vil avgjøre om disse to fotoene er like nok til å fastslå om personen i de to fotoene er en og samme person. Mange utfordringer er knyttet til biometriske systemer slik som feilrater, “spoofing”angrep, ikke-universalitet og interoperabilitetsproblemer. Forskningen har vist hvor lett det er å lure biomtriske systemer ved bruk av for eksempel statiske foto. Denne rapporten går ett skritt videre og tar en nærmere titt på fiender og deres ressurser i et grensekontrollmiljø. Den tradisjonelle måten å beregne feilakseptraten til biometriske systemer på, vil ikke gjenspeile den virkelige feilakseptraten i dette miljøet. For eksempel, vil andelen av fiendene som har minst tyve ”look-alikes” i målpopulasjonen sett fra et biometrisk system’s perspektiv være...

We have two methods to insert. a) By value method By address method USING VALUE METHOD Syntax: insert into (table_name) values (value1, value2, value3 …. Valuen); © Copy rights are reserved. 2 Ex: SQL> insert into student values (1, ’sudha’, 100); SQL> insert into student values (2, ’saketh’, 200); To insert a new record again you have to type entire insert command, if there are lot of records this will be difficult. This will be avoided by using address method. b) USING ADDRESS METHOD Syntax: insert into (table_name) values (&col1, &col2, &col3 …. &coln); This will prompt you for the values but for every insert you have to use forward slash.
