...INTRODUCTION A mobile or cellular telephone is a long-range, portable electronic device for personal telecommunications over long distances. Few years back cellular phone used to be a status symbol and great luxury only accessible to elite class which has now become an affordable necessity even for common people.

...How does Ted G. Goertzel claim C.W Mills’ s The Cause of World War III C. Wright Mills, who was a famous sociologist of America, claimed that a new world war is coming up and the cause of World War III is the military industrial complex. He states his opinion about new world war detailedly in his book The cause of World War III. In addition, we can know more about Mills’ s opinion about how does he regard the military industrial complex and the power elites. The Ted G. Goertzel clamed that Mills’ s opinion about new world war was wrong in his article The Cause of World War III, Thirty Years Later. However, Mills’ s opinion about new world war is partly right and partly wrong. It will be some local wars caused by the military industrial complex. But the nuclear wars will never happen between. Charles Wright Mills was born in 1916 and died in 1962. He was one of the famous sociologist at that time. Also, as a sociology professor at Columbia University, some of his works are remaining until nowadays, such as The Power Elite; White Collar; The Sociological Imagination. The Power Elite is about the class alliances in the U.S. Military; economy elite and political. The White Collar is an introduction of middle class in the U.S. He proposed the proper relationship in sociological scholarship between biography and history in the book named The Sociological Imagination. And this book was considered as the most influential book of Mills. He was so influential that The...

...Continental Carriers, Inc. (CCI) should take on the long-term debt to finance the acquisition of Midland Freight, Inc. for a few reasons. The company is heavy on assets, the debt ratio will only grow to 0.40 with the added $50M in debt. Also, the firm will benefit from an added $2M in a tax shield and be able to return $12.7M a year to its stockholders and investors, instead of $8.9M if equity is raised to finance the acquisition. Lastly, the stock price and earnings per share will increase to $3.87 in comparison to an equity-financed acquisition of $2.72 per share. CCI would be taking a somewhat high risk by issuing additional stock due to the uncertainty about the offering price. Having a low P/E ratio with respect to the rest of the market, and the replacement cost of the firm being greater than its book value (argument 3), there is a good chance that the current stock price and the proposed offering prices are too low. Although long-term debt is a better financing choice a few of the drawbacks are pointed out. Debt holders claim profit before equity holders, so the chance that profits may be lower than expected, increases risk to equity may reduce or impede stock value. However, in extreme financial situations such as a recession period, CCI would still be able to increase its cash during a recession period with all debt capital structure. Also, there is a remaining 12.5 million that would have to be paid at the expiration of the...

...Multicasting creates logical groups of hosts--messages sent to the group are received by all group members. Multicasting is typically used for streaming video and audio such as Microsoft's NetMeeting or Windows Media viewer. Without the ability to define multicast groups, messages that must be sent to a specific group could only use the following: * With unicasting, messages are sent to a specific host address. Using unicasting to send messages to a group of computers would mean that the sending device must know the IP address of all recipients, and must create a separate packet for each destination device. * With broadcasting, a single packet is sent to the broadcast address and is processed by all hosts. However, using broadcasting for sending data to a group would mean that all hosts, and not just group members, would receive the packet. In addition, broadcast packets are typically not forwarded by routers, so broadcast traffic is limited to within a single subnet. The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is used to identify group members and to forward multicast packets onto the segments where group members reside. IGMP routers keep track of the attached subnets that have group members as follows: * A router sends out a host membership query. This query is addressed to the IP address of 224.0.0.1. * Hosts that are members of any group respond with a list of the groups to which the host belongs. Each group is identified with a multicast IP address...

...We all have our own way of thinking when it comes to life and death affirmations. The thoughts and opinions on this subject vary and have a variety of beliefs. They have been instilled in us by a combination of things,some being our up bringing and religious beliefs. Life affirmation is how we let our attitudes and or thoughts affect our lives. It is our mind frame on whether or not we have a positive or negative attitude towards it.. Life I believe is the time that a person is given to live on this earth and the meaning of life is what we make it out to be. Death affirmation is the view that we have on mortality and what happens to us when we die. There are many opinions about whether life continues on after death or not (Janaro,Altshuler,517). There is a religious view that is expressed through the writings in Bibles and can be seen through the artistry of the words that are used to describe many different aspects of life. Life and death affirmation is something that all of us should face willingly or we might be forced to face at some point in time throughout our lives. Throughout this discovery search about life and death affirmations I have chosen to discuss what the King James Prophesy Bible and the movie It's A Wonderful Life is able to show about their views on life and death. In my opinion these two affirmations tie in together. Literature: When describing death in literature the writings enable the readers to expand their thoughts in many ways, for example...

...Question #1: What are potential ways forward to overcome the problem of an ageing workforce at Ernst and Young? Answer: Managing workforce in all companies is not an easy task. If you have an ageing work force, managing them and maintaining their knowledge is increasingly difficult. One way to make sure that your workforce is up to date is by introducing new technologies into your firm. For example, if the former employees of Ernst and Yound who were known as "Boomerangs" didn't have facebook then it would have been very difficult for Helen Wash to contact those former employees. So by keeping your workforce up to date with current technologies, you can get rid of losing important people in your firm. Question #2: How would you codify critical knowledge of clients and industries currently being lost when employees retire? Answer: Documenting knowledge is one of the best ways to manage knowledge. Whether the knowledge is about clients or industries. Writing down the knowledge and storing it is one of the best ways to keep your knowledge managed because knowledge can be lost or altered otherwise. Chinese Whispers is a proof of what happens to knowledge if you don't write it down and store it. Question #3: What are the strength and pitfalls of using social networking sites such as Facebook for Ernst and Young? Answer: Using social networking site such as Facebook can enhance the working environment by connecting the employees together. It can also be useful to contact...
