...Another example of holism is Daniel Pink’s “Left Brain Versus Right Brain.” The left brain cannot work by itself without the right brain; and vise versa. Because if you have been paying attention in your biology class, the left hemisphere controls your right side of your body and the right hemisphere controls the left side of your body (Pink). I’m just going to keep saying it to you. It will not work if you do not have the matching pieces! And yes, the two parts have to magnetize together to cooperate and work properly. You can’t just replace it with something else. They may be the same, but still completely the opposite. Let me be clearer about it. Let’s say you need baking soda for your cupcakes; but you don’t have any, so you replace it with baking powder (and yes they are completely different types of ingredient). You will be able to bake your cupcakes, but they will feel and taste differently. Same as replacing your limbs with a robotic limb; it works, but still different. That is why having the parts is as important as having the whole itself; even though the whole is...

...Throughout history, humans have been amazed and intrigued by the various forces of nature, particularly those associated with weather. This fascination can most readily be attributed to the fact that so many different weather patterns exist throughout the world. This diversity in climates results in a wide range of weather conditions; from relatively calm weather to dangerously violent storms. Despite the great variation in weather patterns among the world’s many climates, tornadoes are one weather phenomenon that have been known to occur in almost every climate on Earth. Because a tornado is one of the world’s most deadly forces of nature, it is important for humans to strive to understand what tornadoes are, how they are formed, their potential dangers, and how to better predict the formation of tornadoes so that effective warnings can be issued. In order to completely understand the dangers of tornadoes, it is important to examine the current explanations for how and why tornadoes form. Tornadoes are most often generated by supercell storms. Supercell storms are particularly large, severe storms that develop in highly unstable environments in which cool, dry air lies above warm, moist air. Supercells typically form in the United States during the Spring as warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico flows north and comes in contact with cooler, dryer layers of air. The Midwestern section of the United States tends to be the location for the majority of the country’s tornadoes...

...Essay 1. There are two different auditing functions internal auditing and external auditing. Internal auditors are a company’s own accounting employees that perform the audit. On the other hand, external auditors are from outside of the company and work for an independent CPA firm that performs an external audit. Internal auditors report to top management positions such as the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. The internal auditing function involves five main evaluations. 1) Employee compliance with organizational policies and procedures, meaning that employees are not breaking or violating the company’s rules. 2) Effectiveness of operations, meaning that the company’s controls and production are operating as efficiently as possible. 3) Compliance with external laws and regulations, meaning that the company’s procedures and operations do not violate any governmental or business laws. 4) Reliability of financial reports, meaning that the financial reports are not biased or construed in a way that would cause misrepresentation. 5) Internal controls, this means that the company is protected (as well as possible) against fraud, theft, and corruption. Overall, the internal audit function checks the efficiency and integrity of almost the entire company. The internal audit benefits the company’s management and employees to check and ensure that company procedures are efficient and legal. The company would rather have a mistake or fraudulent information be caught by the internal...

...Andrew Marty Cloud Computing Cloud computing is becoming the "solution" for businesses. It is revolutionizing how businesses work & get things done. Before cloud, computing was ever thought of, businesses worked from their own computers, licensing tons of software & people complaining that their computers were too slow to handle the proper tasks they needed to get finished. Fast forward years later, now were in the cloud-computing era. The era where people can access tons of applications through a remote server. Where companies can save money, license the program they need once & where there are no complaints about it being slow to the extent where they cannot use certain programs because of memory issues. There are tons of advantages cloud computing has in the business world & that is what I will be elaborating on throughout this essay. When talking about cloud computing in the business world, it is helpful & understandable to divide it into two sections, which are the front end & the back end. They connect to each other through a network. The front end is the side the person see's, like the computer & the applications used to run the computer & which ones to access the cloud. The back end consists of various types of technology such as the computers, the servers & the data storage systems that create the cloud. This architecture is involved for creating a cloud-computing environment. A cloud-computing environment is especially great...

...Heating of the earth exterior and atmosphere and influences patterns of precipitation the sun heats the air at the equator causing it to expand and rise. This warm moist air cools as it rises. Since cool air holds less water vapor than warm air the water carried by the rising air mass condenses and forms clouds which produce the heavy rain fall associated with the tropical environment. Eventually this equatorial air mass ceases to rise and spreads north and south. The high altitude air is dry since the moisture it once held fell as a tropical rain fall. When the air mass flows north and south it cools which increases its density. It sinks back to the earth’s surface at about 30 latitude and spreads north and south. The air draws moisture from the lands over which it flows and creates deserts in the process. Temperature is plotted on the left vertical axis and precipitation on the right vertical axis. Temperature and precipitation are potted on different scales so 10 C is equivalent to 20 mm of precipitation. Climate diagrams for wet areas such as tropical rain forest compress the precipitation scale for precipitation above 100mm so that 10C is equivalent to 200mm of precipitation. This will change in scale rainfall data from very wet climates can be fit on a graph of convenient size. The temperature and precipitation scales are constructed so that 10C equals 20mm of... The circulation of air over the earth is largely due to the unequal heating of the surface. The global...

...sky was filled with clouds that were as gray as the road. Though the faces of my fellow travelers told me that the bleakness of this day oppressed them, I looked up at the skies and realized how beautiful the grey skies were. My shift in perception made me see that the clouds were not lacking in color, but were filled with shades of grey. The different tones were like a composition of art that was not colorful but beautifully dull. I started to see other images in the greyness--warm blankets and foamy seas. I began to lose myself in the thick fluffy atmosphere of the clouds. My thoughts then drifted to one day in art class when we were given an assignment to use the constraints of a shoe box, and create an environment inside so when you look through the cut hole on the side of the box, your perspective would shift and the box would seem bigger than it really was. I watched my peers use reflection or miniature things to give the illusion of a larger space, but I took a different approach. I created device through which light changes, shapes transform, the back-, mid- and foreground become one, and the world is not fixed: a kaleidoscope. The evolving patterns and sequences appeal to my vision of nature, my view of myself. I am, like everyone really, a “masterpiece” in the making. I begin as a sketch, or many sketches, and evolve into something greater than the pieces of my origin. No one ends up the way she expects. Like the transformation of the grey clouds into beautiful images...

...“We write because we believe the human spirit cannot be tamed and should not be trained”, Nikki Giovanni’s poetry uses figurative language to express her feelings and the tone of the poem. This essay explains how Nikki Giovanni uses figurative language like personification, metaphors, and alliteration to convey the tone. She also uses it to convey events in her lifetime. This paragraph will explain how the author uses personification to convey the tone in her poem “The World is Not a Pleasant Place to Be” she says, “An ocean would never laugh if the clouds weren’t there to kiss her tears.” This evidence shows that the clouds are there for the ocean like people would be there for each other.

This service brings heavy competition against other companies that provide cloud services. In addition, with Amazon’s simple step guide, it creates a new horizon of opportunities for new clients to explore. In this essay, I will discuss my impressions, thoughts about organizations should consider the service, and its possible technical limitations. I have personally been a big fan of Amazon’s great services.

...Brian Mathews English 101 Hofreiter 4-2-13 Technology Taking Our Jobs In the 19th century, The British textile industry was one of the main contributors to the start of the Industrial Revolution. Many self-employed British tailors found themselves out of work with no way to earn income through their profession. It forced tailors out of their jobs because Britain’s textile industry was more efficient than a self employed tailor and the quality was still pretty high. They became obsolete very quickly and if they didn’t find another job, the children and families of these tailors would soon starve or become homeless. As more technologies were invented during the Industrial Revolution, more and more professions became outdated which forced many people to become unemployed. What people don’t realize is that we are still facing the same problem 200 years later. Technology is slowly replacing human jobs in order to make production and services cheaper and more efficient. Based on history, becoming replaced by a machine is inevitable to many people in many areas of work. Although technology is creating jobs, at the same time it is killing them off at an even greater rate. Many people are finding themselves no longer needed to carry out the same job that would be impossible without them 15 years ago. “In the United States, half of the 7.5 million jobs lost during the Great Recession paid middle-class wages, and the numbers...

...doesn’t really matter what level we're at whether it’s undergraduate or going for our masters or doctorate. Being a student of any sort usually consumes our life and most of our time. Take for example, the essay. Whether it’s for research, compare and contrast, problem and solution or your standard narrative essay, we often are utilizing various files and resources to complete our required tasks. Many of us already have jobs and families that consume our lives, and that can take away from our academic responsibilities. This can be a difficult thing to juggle, but what if you could have your files, content, personal documents, movies, and etc. everywhere and accessible all the time. I am talking about cloud storage and its limitless potential to make our lives as seamless as possible. There are two really big names in the cloud storage industry such as Google’s Drive, and Dropbox file storage but which one is for you? Both Google Drive and Dropbox make excellent choices for cloud storage, but deciding which is best depends on your lifestyle, your finances, and your preference in features. Of the many services and apps that Google provides, Drive is arguably the best service it provides, well outside of Gmail. Having a Google account automatically gives you 15GB of free cloud storage. All of Google’s services are unified under one login ID, which is your Gmail. If you have an android device, your Operating System (OS) is already optimized and integrated with and for Google’s Drive...

...Terror from the Air Luftebeben: An den Qullen des Terrors, initially a book first written in German by author Peter Sloterdijk. However, the English translation of the book was published by Semiotext(e) in 2009, which we now know of as Terror from the Air. Sloterdijk wrote this book based around terriosm and our atmosphere, he calls this Atmoterrorism. Peter Sloterdijk defined the 20th century as these three things “the practice of terrorism, the concept of product design, and environmental thinking” (reference p.9). And for him, there was one day in particular that marked the beginning of the 20th century; it was on April the 22nd of 1915. On that epoch, the unexpected happened at Ypres in Northern France during World War 1, when the army of Germany attacked using chlorine gas, making this the first act of gas warfare in history. It was this event in which modernity arose, no longer would attacking involve death to only the enemies, but now to their environment and the air they breathe. The evolution of using poisonous gas would cause harm and destruction to everything essential for living, it was also a sign that traditional war was no longer, but more so classed as terrorism. The first one of the three themes that outlines the 20th century is the practice of terrorism, which was when enemy interaction was established on a post- militaristic basis (Sloterdijk, 2009, p.29REFERENCE). During this time of war is when the discovery of the atmosphere and ecosystem transpired...
