...Task 1 Describe the procedure for storing scientific information in a laboratory management system. LIMS (laboratory information management system) is used in a laboratory for the management of samples, standards, instruments etc. The instruments are used in the laboratory network in order to be able to receive worklists from the LIMS so they are able to update any information that is relevant to other systems. An example of where LIMS is used is in industry as it maintains the information in the systems. Overall, LIMS have some special functions for example the registration of a sample, the storage of data and the equipment that is used in the analysis of the sample. The main feature of a LIMS is the sample management which involves tracking them. For instance if a sample container arrives the registration must be completed and the LIMS would track it and record its location. This could consist of printing off barcodes in order to identify the sample containers. LIMS could exchange and record electronic information. Along with all these functions of LIMS, it also manages the communication with your clients and the related documents. Also, all information is centralised. Some of the main types of information that would need to be stored on your lab’s LIMS would be COSHH records (control of substance hazardous to health) to ensure the awareness of health and safety, waste disposal to show how much waste is disposed and how much is actually produced, security because different...

...It was a beautiful July day, one of those days that come only when the weather has been settled for some time. The sky is clear from earliest morning; the sunrise does not blaze like a fire but spreads a gentle blush. The sun is not ignescent or scorching hot as it is during a sultry drought, nor is it a murky crimson as before a storm, but it is bright and affably radiant-peacefully arising beneath a long narrow cloud, freshly gleaming through it and submerged in its lilac mist. The delicate upper border of the long line of clouds gleams like a serpent; the gleam is like the gleam of forged silver ... But then again the playful beams pour forth-cheerfully and majestically, as if flying up, radiating a more powerful light. Toward midday a mass of round high clouds usually appears, golden-gray, with delicate white borders. They are almost motionless, like islands washed by an endlessly flowing river that spills over them in deeply transparent streams of flat blue; further toward the horizon, they begin to merge and cluster and the blue between them can no longer be seen, while they are themselves just like the azure of the sky: they are all imbued through and through with light and warmth. The color of the horizon is light, a pale lilac; in a whole day it does not change and is the same all around; it does not darken anywhere, there is no thickening thunderstorm; perhaps here and there a barely noticeable rain drizzles from pale blue columns that stretch downward...

...Petrie’s Electronics Case Ch 5 Questions 1,3,5 1.What do you think are the sources of the information Jim and his team collected? How do you think they collected all of that information? It appears that Jim and his team had conducted interviews to gather data. It appears that that the interviews had been done by the stakeholders and loyal customers that were identified by the marketing department. Also they collected information about the existing systems for the team to analyze. 3. If you were looking for alternative approaches for Petrie’s customer loyalty program, where would you look for information? Where would you start? How would you know when you were done? There are many ways and sources to gather information for this. You could look and see what the current trends are by using a search engine, gather information from different publications, and even looking to customers. I don’t really think you would ever be done but when you have exhausted all resources and cannot seem to get any more information I would say that you were complete. 5. Why shouldn’t Petrie’s staff build their own unique system in-house? Number one reason, Cost, to build a system from scratch would be too costly and would take too long to create and implement the system. If they were trying to create a system to market it would be a different story because then you would see a return on investment for the system.

...Summary 2- The Snooks family This story is about the family Snooks. Mr. and Mrs. Snooks are going to bed. Mrs. Snooks ask Mr. Snooks if he could blow the candle out. But he can only blow by putting his under lip over his upper lip. So his breath went up instead of blowing out the candle flame. So Mrs. Snooks get up from the bed to blow the candle out. But she can only blow by putting her upper lip over her under lip. So her breath went down to the floor. So Mrs. Snooks called her son John to come and blow out the candle. He came. John could only blow out of the right corner of his mouth. So his breath hit the wall of the room instead of the candle. So they all called for his sister, little Ann. She came. Little Ann could only blow out of the left side of her mouth. So her breath hit the wall instead of the candle. Suddenly they heard a heavy steady tread coming along the pavement. It was a policeman. Mrs. Snooks ask the policeman if he can blow out the candle. The policeman came. He came into the room were Mr. Snooks, Mrs. Snooks, John and little Ann were standing around the candle they wanted to blow out. And just with a little puff, the policeman blow out the candle at first time. All in the family thanked him. The policeman turned around and went down the stairs. “Just a moment, you musn`t go down the stairs in the dark” said Mr. Snooks. He lit the candle again. The policeman went out the door and Mr. Snooks went up to go to bed. “Would you blow out the candle?” said...

...Essay #1 The phone rang; it was 4:30 a.m. My sister-in-law was on the other end of the line frantically telling me to hurry up and get home. I hung up the phone, put my head back down, and fell back to sleep. A few minutes later, the phone rang for a second time, but this time, it was my brother. He told me that they were currently on their way to the hospital. I quickly gathered my things, and within half an hour, I was on my way to the hospital. Hours later, I nervously arrived at the hospital. My clammy hands slid off the steering wheel as my feet unsteadily hit the parking lot pavement. Nearing the doors of the hospital, I felt my regret for not paying attention to the first phone call rise up. I hurried to the elevator, the smell of the sterile hospital air wafting me in the face. The tension in the air was so thick that I could cut it with a knife. Meeting up with my mom and dad, I could see that they were equally anxious and nervous for this moment. I walked quietly into my sister-in-law’s room. I still hadn’t grown used to seeing her in this precarious way (a large, protruding belly). My concern for her was so apparent, my fidgeting was easily giving me away. Giving her a hug, I sensed how aware she was of what was about to happen. I would compare it to that of a child not wanting to have its loose tooth pulled but knows it’s going to happen anyways. After our brief greeting, I slid out the door because the nurse was going to administer an epidural. The day...

...basis for public policy making” Also article by TV host Glenn Beck, the writing of these individual in the matter of race is so vague and so terrible it is the main reason I wanted to write about this. If you understand the history of our country the founding father wrote” freedom, and Justice for all, but if you read, the (African American was property) bought, and sold as labor. This country fought the civil war to declare freedom for all men of color(that war ended in April, 1865) so base on that we should have been free and able to vote for 118 years I can remember stories from my great-grandmother about how she, and her family were treated. If these individuals understood the heritage of where we came from, the youth of America as far as a nation, you can understand how racism still is past down from one generation to another. When power of the vote and the ability to elected the first African America president, and the changing demographic in this country this next election will be the first when Whites America will be the minority. The Conservative movement has issue with change, and has made everything attempt to change voter rights. Voter registration, Education, Workers act, Children, The Gay right movement, and others thing their personal agenda. They have shown such disrespect for this president that it is almost criminal. Now take the books that are being written by Rush Limbaugh and Glen Beck you can understand why people are scare from both sides. To think...

...on Full Screen because it's in HD . I paid 40 dollars for my ticket to Friday's show and Eric Clapton was solid,Jeff Beck stole the show and Jimmy Page got the biggest applause on that day. Just like in this video from Thursday's show. The difference between the 2 shows is that Ronnie didn't perform with Eric but he did climb down from his seat located just behind the stage to the right and joined the band for the encores. A.R.M.S. Concert http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARMS_concert The idea for hosting the concert was envisaged by Ronnie Lane, ex-bassist for The Small Faces and The Faces, himself a casualty of multiple sclerosis. The concert was billed as The Ronnie Lane Appeal for ARMS and featured a star-studded line-up of British musicians, including Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Steve Winwood, John Paul Jones, Andy Fairweather-Low, Bill Wyman, Kenney Jones and Charlie Watts. The concert was particularly notable in the fact that it was the first occasion on which Clapton, Beck and Page, each a former lead guitarist for The Yardbirds, had performed together on stage. The ARMS charity concert proved so popular with both the audience and the musicians that the decision was taken to perform a further nine concerts in the USA. The US dates included Joe Cocker, who notably sang lead vocals on "With a Little Help from My Friends", and Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page each shared lead guitar duties on the "Stairway to Heaven" instrumental. While Ronnie Lane appeared in...

...history-making conference of software-engineering thinkers in Snowbird, Utah. The product of that meeting was a remarkable document called the Agile Manifesto, a call to overturn many of the assumptions of traditional software development. I, in my capacity as one of the principal theoreticians of open-source development, was invited to be at Snowbird, but couldn't make it. Ever since, though, I've been sensing a growing convergence between agile programming and the open-source movement. I've seen agile concepts and terminology being adopted rapidly and enthusiastically by my colleagues in open-source-land — especially ideas like refactoring, unit testing, and design from stories and personas. From the other side, key agile-movement figures like Kent Beck and Martin Fowler have expressed strong interest in open source both in published works and to me personally. Fowler has gone so far as to include open source on his list of agile-movement schools. I agree that we belong on that list. But I also agree with Fowler's description of of open source as a style, rather than a process. I think his reservations as to whether open source can be described as just another agile school are well-founded. There is something more complicated and interesting going on here. and I realized when I read Fowler's description of open source that at some point I was going to have to do some hard thinking and writing in an effort to sort it all out. While doing research for my book The Art of Unix Programming...

...Marble Challenge 1) Identify the Problem- The marble has to travel for twenty-five seconds or greater. 2) Gather Information- If we use cardboard, it will slow down the time but by using the folder, it will increase the time the marble travels. 3) Generate Possible Solutions- By testing different possible designs, we can generate a solution as to how the marble will travel for the twenty-five seconds. 4) Select the best Solution- We had two main solutions and tested both of them. One was a zig-zag structure but as we tested it, the cardboard became too flimsy and our second structure was to build the zig-zag in a base that would support it, and that was our end product because we knew we had found our perfect structure. 5) Implement Selected Solution- (Turned in) 6) Evaluate- As we tested our structure, we came to conclusion that the marble only traveled 17 seconds but our design was successful in my opinion because the marble had potential to go the full 25 or even longer with a few tweaks. It could’ve ended differently but unfortunately, we did not solve the problem. A) The positives I took away from this project were that our design actually worked the way we planned. Through the building process and testing it, everything came out the way we hoped and although the marble didn’t travel the full twenty-five seconds, we were successful and positive on the design and structure. B) The negatives I took away from this project were...

Fallacy we write papers and give talks mainly to impress others, gain recognition, and get promoted Good papers and talks are a fundamental part of research excellence Papers communicate ideas Your goal: to infect the mind of your reader with your idea, like a virus Papers are far more durable than programs (think Mozart) The greatest ideas are (literally) worthless if you keep them to yourself Writing papers: model 1 Idea Do research W rite paper Writing papers: model 2 Idea Do research W rite paper Idea W rite paper Do research Forces us to be clear, focused Crystallises what we don’t understand Opens the way to dialogue with others: reality check, critique, and collaboration Do not be intimidated Fallacy You need to have a fantastic idea before you can write a paper or give a talk.

...Detecting Media Bias Nolan Tisdale HUM/111 9/15/2013 James Williams, PhD, DM, CHE Detecting Media Bias The article titled Lawsuit targets Medicaid expansion in Arizona, discusses the latest lawsuit filed by Legislators to targeting the federal Healthcare Reform Law. This article was posted on September 12 2013, on the Fox 10 Phoenix website. The subject of the article is the Lawsuit filed by 36 Republican legislators to target GOP Gov. Jan Brew’s plan to expand Arizona’s health care program. Having a clear understanding that Fox News identifies itself with, and targets the conservative Republican audience, it was very important to take this into consideration when determining the creditability of the story. It was important to observe the author presenting the facts in a clear and accurate manner, and paying extra care to detail. The fact that the author did not leave the facts to interpretation by making vague or over the top statements, leads one to believe that the article was not written in a bias manner. The story was presented in a manner that clearly identified and represented the perspective of all the parties involved in the discussion. The author describes the suit filed by 36 Republican legislators and a pair of citizens, through the Goldwater Institute, and the grounds on which these opponents of the Medicaid expansion plan believe they are filing the suit, while giving equal time and consideration...

...My dad always tells me that within the first ten seconds of meeting someone for the first time they will have made a very important judgment of you which will dictate your relationship/affiliation with that person from that point on. It took me a very long time to agree with him, because I always believed that people shouldn’t make any judgment without actually getting to know you first. As I grew and matured, I realized that both of these points were very important and comprised the central idea of a first impression, good or bad. As a society in general we place a lot of importance on material things, including clothing and accessories, so the way someone presents themselves can usually tell us a few things about them. What I mean by that is if someone comes to a meeting with a Yves Saint Laurent suit and a Movado watch, we can assume they are financially well off. At the same time, someone who comes in with a very cheap suit will usually be perceived as financially deprived. Even though we can make such assumptions from these first impressions about people, it is not usually the financial situation that we should focus on, but more so on what that means in terms of their education and ability/knowledge to conduct themselves publicly in a very professional manner and understand the proper etiquette in different professional environments. For example, the financially sound first person with the expensive clothing and accessories will usually be assumed to know all of these...

...Yvette Bostic Robley Welliver Lit 205/11 September 9, 2013 In order for one to understand Twyla’s characteristic of being slightly prejudice and the secret hate that she had toward her childhood friend has to do with the concepts and thoughts that Twyla’s mother in stored in her as a child about other people who were not like her and a lot of those concept where wrong. Twyla’s roommate Roberta did not meet any of the negative things Twyla’s mother had told her about Africa American people. Twyla thought she deserved better and was supposed to have better because she was white. She secretly had had toward Roberta because she ended up with the life Twyla was supposed to have, but because of the bond they had growing up would somehow keep them connected every time they ran into each other in passing. In the beginning of the story Twyla had a negative attitude toward African American people. Twyla’s mother had warned her as a little girl that “they never washed their hair and they smelled funny” (Morrison, Toni) this gives you an indication that Twyla was white and was raised by a prejudice white mother whom which at times she seemed to be ashamed of. The first time Twyla and Roberta was introduced Twyla seemed to be uncomfortable. She told Bozo “my mother won’t like you putting me in here” (Morrison, Toni) but as time went on it did not seem to bother Twyla much, Twyla and Roberta became best friends in the orphan home, they were always together and the played together...
