...the fact that SIM’s existing hardware infrastructure does not support the use of a Macbooks (or Macs for short). This report sets out to investigate whether or not SIM’s Integrated Information Technology Services (IITS) department should seriously consider updating the university’s hardware to keep up with SIM students changing usage. A statistical analysis of our findings is conducted. Based on anecdotal observations, we hypothesized that 30% of the school population use an Apple Macbook. We then carefully conducted an online survey of 51 SIM students, ensuring a stratified sampling which reflects the distribution of the university’s student population. After conducting an upper tailed one-sample z test, we obtained sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis. Based on our proportionate sample, we found out that more than 30% of our school population use an Apple Macbook. The large proportion of students using Apple Macbooks warrant an initiative by IITS to equip and update the school infrastructure with Mac-friendly software and hardware. The preference for an Apple Macbook has transformed it from an exotic choice to a popular choice chosen by the school population. We recommend IITS to embark on a feasibility study immediately to update the school’s firmware to support the Mac platform 1. Introduction: The Problem SIM's existing hardware infrastructure does not support the use of Macs. Students rely heavily on laptops to get their university course work...

...Marine Application Guide Bonding and Sealing Organic Windows Application Description Most of the organic glazing materials used in boat building are either clear acrylic sheet (PMMA), widely marketed under trade names such as Perspex and Plexiglas (the latter manufactured by Rohm and Haas), or polycarbonate (PC), marketed by Bayer GmbH as Makrolon and by General Electric as Lexan or scratch-proof Margard. All plastic glazing products possess certain characteristics that must be clearly understood before they are installed or bonded with adhesives. In general, incorrectly installed plastic glazing panels are prone to environmental stress cracking (ESC). This can be aggravated by the use of the wrong adhesives. Sika Transportation_99 Plastic glazing products have a higher coefficient of thermal expansion than conventional glass. Therefore, when designing glazing installations, an expansion gap of at least 10 mm all round the periphery must be incorporated between the window rebate and the plastic glazing panel to accommodate thermal movement. Similarly, any clearance holes for fixing screws must be drilled oversize; slightly larger than the diameter of the screw shank. To minimise the risk of environmental stress cracking, flat sheets of plastic glazing material should be installed completely flat; they should not be forced to take up a curvature by the use of mechanical fastenings. When the design calls for curved glazing panels, these...

...appeals to the reader a metaphor “ragged diamond.” The use of the word ragged to describe the glass suggests something broken or torn. The second image is of “a young man and his girl falling backwards into a shop-window.” This is written in the present tense. The reason for this is to create a sense of immediacy. This gives the reader a sense of almost being a witness to this event. The next image in the poem is a violent one “The young man’s face is bristling with fragments of glass” it is as if the man has a beard made of glass. The use of the word “bristling” shows us that the man has fragments of glass puncturing his face. The reader is then left to wonder how the glass came to be stuck to his face. The comparison with a beard is deliberately ironic and shocking. “and the girl’s leg has caught on the broken window” The poet’s choice of words is very important here. “Caught” suggests something that has trapped the girls leg is trapped by the shattered plate glass and she is probably seriously injured. The poet draws even more attention to the violent detail, “And spurts arterial blood over her wet-look white coat. The poet used both sound imagery “spurts”, and visual imagery. The implication of the bloods colour is suggested by the word arterial. Clearly an artery has been cut which puts the girl in grave danger. “ This contrast with the white coat again drawing attention the blood. The poet also uses image of helplessness “Their arms are star fished out...

...Building Construction Analysis This assignment is elaborated through the construction process and detailed six logical stages of our residential buildings being constructed. Readers will be given a rough picture of how and why our home house comes into being step by step gradually in the way we are familiar. Also, technical data related to the construction materials are discussed. So the reason why the materials are chosen and the methodology of construction are to be carried out. Many pictures used in this assignment were taken in some real construction sites (Dunraven Drive and Winchester Crescent, Pimpama, QLD, 4209) while some were employed by internet searching. Section Zero – Pre-construction Preparation Before a formal construction process can commence there are lots of matters needing to be considered and relevant documentation should be completed. Some legal requirements are also to be met. In the pre-design stage, a family/stakeholders conference is an ideal way to determine every party’s needs so that individual requirements, house parts’ size and their priority could be finalized, which in turn leads to the real designing stage. Some professional consultants could be employed, e.g. architects, valuers, surveyors, structural/electrical/mechanical/hydraulic/geo-technical engineers. The output documentation includes but not limited to design drawings, building drawings (floor plan, roof plan, etc.), service diagram, wet area details, geo-technical report...

...Guru Jewelers Shelf layout Guru Jewellers present their merchandise in a glass window which enhances their products offered as the glass is very clean and therefore any light shined onto the glass makes the merchandise such as rings and chains look very attractive because it makes the items spark and therefore attract the customers eye straight away so therefore in a way this is a colour blocking technique. Another technique they have used is this business have put some of their very intriguing products behind a glass window so when customers walk past their store they will automatically be drawn to the gold and silver displayed. By displaying it behind a glass window allows a customer to see the items in every angle which therefore then gives the customers a full view and so automatically can see exactly how it looks from every angle which then may motivate a customer to make a purchase. Positioning Positioning a product is very important in the business industry as it all comes down to were the products are positioned, how they are positioned and were they are positioned. This business has used a vertical blocking technique which is very common and does get customers to make a purchase. However Guru Jeweller's have their most expensive merchandise at the front vertical rows, in the centre because when customers walk into the store they generally start in the centre in a small independent business, so this is a very good way to make a customer buy their items and also...

...The Power of Rebellion Rebellion is the only power against tyranny in this world. Ken Kesey’s One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest addresses the power of rebellion against a tyrannical force through the relationship between protagonist R.P. McMurphy and antagonist Nurse Ratched. Through the use of diction, figurative language and symbolism, Kesey illuminates rebellion kindled by McMurphy as a force that degrades the power of Nurse Ratched. The use of diction in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest is a key component to revealing the influence of McMurphy’s rebellion. The use of diction can be seen as Nurse Ratched’s “remote patience” begins to diminish following the destruction of the glass pane in front of her nurses’ station (Kesey 207). In this instance, Nurse Ratched’s forced patience with McMurphy is wearing down due to his repeated defiant acts. The word “remote” to describe Nurse Ratched’s patience, a patience she forces in order to maintain her calm, collected façade, reveals the influence of McMurphy’s rebellious actions. No longer is Nurse Ratched able to adequately mask her intolerance with the patients, which in turn demonstrates the breakdown of her control over said patients. Diction once again exposes Nurse Ratched’s loss of power as she “jerk[s] the adhesive as tight as she [can]” on McMurphy’s bandage (207). This rough physical movement indicates that Nurse Ratched is not pleased to be bandaging the hand of the man who shattered glass just to test her patience...

...Explaining a concept: Website migration project Name Course Instructor Date Website Migration Project In this current era, every business is going online, and most of the selling and buying of goods and services is being done n online. That is why Tony chips should also have a website where it can be able to advertize its business and reach many customers. This paper will cover the steps and requirements on how Tony chips will transfer web hosting from an external source to internal as well as how to make their website redundant. In the efforts to build that redundant and scalable website, the key principles of availability, performance, reliability, scalability, manageability and cost require much attention (Matsudaira, 2012). Also, the SDLC must be duly followed as it is the requirement of any system. These are systems planning, system analysis, system design, system implementation, and lastly system support/security (Shelly & Rosenblatt, 2012). System Planning In this phase, the familiarization of the processes involved and objectives of the business must be well highlighted. A formal business plan needs to be in place to show which operations the company will undertake. There is a need to know all participants in the whole migration process and the time when they will you require then in the migration process. As the one of the requirements is that the website needs to be hosting should be internal, it means that a server there is a server requirement. Besides that...
