...In the month of September there were many different phases of the moon. The phase of the moon during September 1- 4 was the waxing gibbous. During this time the moon is not fully illunminated but is getting close to a full moon phase. On the days of September 5-7, the phase of the moon was a full moon. A full moon is when the moon’s face is fully illuminated. September 8-12 was the phase of waning gibbous. During waning gibbous, the portion of the moon that we can see shrinks or wanes. September 12-14 was the third quarter phase. In the time of this phase the moon is half illuinated. On September 15-18 was the waning cresent phase. During this phase the moon appears to be in a cresent shape. September 19-20 was the new moon phase. In this...

Therefore , there is no backup of the records , and of there is no backup , if something happens to the record, they won’t have other copies of it . Also they may be room for frund . there is also space taken up during the competition to store the entry forms and DVD’s /MPG’s of the contestants , as well as the results . 1. Key Areas Please tell us more about the competition ? The annual Waltons Music for Schools Competition is a national competition and celebration of music in Irish schools. The competition awards a total of €10,000 worth of vouchers for musical instruments, accessories, books, music technology or PA equipment from Waltons Music, to be divided among six winning primary and post-primary schools, including two first prizes of €3,000 vouchers, and music groups from twelve finalist schools have the opportunity to perform in the National Concert Hall! And how did this come about ? The value of music and music education is undisputed. Numerous international studies* have shown that music instruction and active music making supplies intellectual, emotional and physical components critical to young people’s development. Yet despite the acknowledged results of these studies and the recent Department of Education and Skills music curriculum guidelines for primary schools...

...Phase 1 After building form we need to make sure we can bring data from our “Notepad” text file into our application. To do that we need to build a menu with all of the options we want. And we need to add the common dialog objects to our form. To do that we go to our tool box and add the “MainMenu” tool, the “OpenFileDialog” tool and the “SaveFileDialog” too. We’ll use the “SaveFileDialog” later. Naturally I change the name of these files to follow Hungarian Notation standards. Then added the dropdown menu for “File” as you can see above. All that’s left is to write the code for the “File | Open” routine. It looks like this: Basically lines 329 thru 333 set up the File Open dialog. It doesn’t open until line 335 executes. When the user pressed the “OK” key the “IF” statement is executed. Line 336 reads the file name and path into our global variable strCurrentFile. Now any routine we write can use that file without using the dialogs. Lines 339 thru 346 counts the number of records in the file. Notice that we read in three variables (strDummy1 thru strDummy3) to account for a single record. And since the count is off by one we decrement the count by one Once we know the number of records in the file we can set up our array. We do that inline 349. We redimension the array to reflect 3 fields and intMax records...

...Antonia Bravo Philosophy 112 Phase 1 11/02/2014 Taboo of Abortion: Who is right? The life of an embryo depends on differences in societies and cultures, along with morals and beliefs. However, these alone cannot prove when an embryo is actually a person. With a mixture of all, people determine how and when an embryo develops into a human being. Although the variety provides different insights, it also cause controversy amongst opponents. Thus the birth of pro-choice and pro-life is born, both competing on each side of the controversy of abortion. The taboo of abortion has gained national attention due to the nature and processes. Generally abortion is performed before twelve weeks gestation, or three months along in the pregnancy, but some do occur later in the pregnancy. The processes include removing the embryo from the uterus through a expansion of methods. These methods include: RU-486 which is a drug given to a woman after a missed menstrual period to deplete the nutrients of the uterine walls, and then again to allow the uterus to contract. Suction Aspiration acts as a vacuum cleaner to the uterus by breaking down and removing pieces of an embryo as well as the placenta. Dilation and Curettage formally known as D&C is similar to Suction Aspiration, but instead of suction the embryo and placenta are scrapped from the body and tossed. These are commonly performed by the twelve weeks stated earlier, however late term abortions are performed as well. These include:...

A quasi-optimum receiver of very low complexity is attained by splitting the function of the optimum receiver bank filters in two blocks: calculus of projections coefficients on a low dimensional space of Walsh functions followed by simple matrix calculus. A sequence detection algorithm follows this block. The presented approach enables the reduction of the matched filters or correlators to just two integrators, regardless of the CPM scheme. Research on the reduction limits of the space dimension is conducted using catastrophic M-ary CPM schemes, taking advantage of their very low number of phase states. Performance of 1REC h=1/2 16-ary scheme is for the fist time presented. A rule is defined concerning the number of Walsh functions that must be used. That outcome proves to be valid for two CPM schemes of high power gain. The receiver is tested under additive white gaussian noise (AWGN). The carrier frequency is fc, where ωc=2πfc, ϕ0 is the arbitrary initial phase and Es is the energy per symbol, related with the bit energy by Es=log2(M)⋅Eb. Channel symbols are γi∈{±1, ±3, ⋅⋅⋅, ±(M-1)}, forming the M-ary sequence γ . Each symbol γi carries log2(M) bits as a result of a natural...

...Phases of Organizational Change: Concord Bookshop Conflict University of Phoenix Phases of Organizational Change: Concord Bookshop Conflict Organizational change is a never-ending process. Knowing how to approach, present, and effectively implement change depends on several factors. The three phases of Lewin’s Force Field Model: unfreezing, change, and refreezing allow the change process to take place (Borkowski, 2005). Using these phases change can be presented, discussed, and ultimately implemented with success. For organizations to continue to grow and become ever more prosperous, change has to be continuously refined. In this paper, a brief discussion of the phases of organizational change as well as an examination of the organizational change processes not implemented in the Concord Bookshop conflict will be conducted. Lewin’s Phases of Organizational Change Unfreezing Borkowski (2005) states, “The forces and workers involved in perpetuating resistance acquire an understanding of variances that exist between current practices and behavior and desired activities and behavior” (pp. 384-385). The organization must perform an investigation to see what type of resisting forces they may face in regard to the proposed change. An organization will not be effective in creating change unless motivation within the organization is manifested. Understanding that change requires some new knowledge to be learned and some old knowledge to be unlearned. This fact is...

Collaborative advantage is synergy achieved by integrating resources plus expertise of one organization and provides a foundation or counterbalance to “Competitive Advantage” 2. The 3 main fundamental characteristics of collaborative advantage is that they must yield benefits for the partners and they are more than just the deal. They are also alliances that both partners ultimately deem successful involve collaboration rather than mere exchange. Collaborative advantage cannot be controlled by formal systems but require a dense web at interpersonal connections and internal infrastructures that enhance learning. 3. There are also 3 varieties of relationships which are mutual service consortia that means similar industries pool their resources together to gain benefit too expensive to acquire alone. Joint ventures are companies pursuing an opportunity that requires capabilities from each of them and value-chain partnerships are supplier-consumer relationships. 4. Relationships between companies begin, grow and develop much like relationship between people. Like romances and alliances, they are built on hopes and dreams, what might happen if certain opportunities are pursued? 5.

...Marketing Project Phase – II Market Segmentation for Sunsilk Sunsilk’s market segmentation is Demographic as they target customers based on their gender and age. The target segment for Sunsilk is young girls and women from age 16 to 40 but, we see that in their promotional campaign Sunsilk targets the whole market irrespective of the age. Initially sunsilk’s target customers in terms of income were the upper middle class women because of the expensive offerings but later on, they started targeting people of all classes irrespective of their income by introducing shampoo in small sachets which provided the same premium quality product to the lower income class as well thus, expanding their target audience. Perceptual Mapping Attributes under consideration: Quality (x-axis) and Price (y-axis) Response generated: 15 girls/women This perceptual mapping helps the company identify how their customers react to their product viz a vee other competitors.

...other is partly miscible with water. According to the phase rule of Gibbs the variance F (number of degrees of freedom) of a system at equilibrium is equal to the number of components c minus the number of phases p plus 2, provided that the equilibrium is influenced only by temperature, pressure, and concentration. A system with three independent components has F=5-P degrees of freedom. An invariant point in a ternary system therefore contains five different phases in equilibrium with each other. An invariant point can for example consist of a vapor phase, a liquid phase, and three solid phases in equilibrium with each other. A ternary system with three phases (solid-liquid-vapor) in equilibrium with each other has two degrees of freedom. If the temperature is fixed, one degree of freedom remains. A phase diagram isotherm showing a ternary system with a vapor phase and a liquid phase requires therefore a line to mark the concentration range in which a solid phase is in equilibrium with the other two phases. A point needed to mark concentrations where two solid phases are in equilibrium with liquid and vapor.

...top-down rapid strategy, a high-involvement-staged strategy? Why? What would be your implementation plan? For example, what would you do first? How would you time phase it? What are the critical (pivotal) actions that must succeed? Based upon my reading and analysis of the Jess Westerly case study, I would have implemented a high-involvement, phased change strategy. Changing the software-as-a-service (SaaS) sales approach from targeting of small and medium business to large organizations is a strategic change for Kauflauf. In order for changes to be made, it is necessary to implement through phases. Key elements are leadership engagement and compensation design. In order to inform my approach with industry best practices, I interviewed a Saas sales leader. To illustrate and frame my approach, I will use Kurt Lewin’s three-phase model for change. In Phase one, we must unfreeze the system. During the first three months, the CEO of Kauflauf must champion the change to pursue SaaS contracts with large organizations (Sales Class 1-3 firms, $500,000+ annual revenue). Using Jess Westerly’s data affirming the opportunity for 30% growth, the CEO must communicate the organization’s change in client targeting; he must also indicate the implied crisis: only those SaaS firms that seek and earn business with Class 1-3 firms will survive and thrive. By creating a compelling need to do business differently, the CEO will create a new, more malleable state allowing the system...
