...Matttt robins Section 1: Observations I observed a child from Early Morning Learning Center at Gateway Community College. There, I observed my student Jerome for a total of five hours in 3 days. The Early Morning Learning Center at Gateway consisted of nineteen children ranging from ages 3 to 5 years old. The center had five adult workers whose job it was to watch and help the children. The days I observed the children were either in the classroom or on the playground. The student I chose to observe was an Africana American by the name of Jerome. As I arrived to the Early Morning Learning center the kids were out playing on around the playground. Jerome was riding one of the tricycles along with a couple other classmates. While riding away from other class mates Jerome yells “you can’t get me”. After Jerome places the tricycle down, a kid playing basketball asked Jerome to play saying “do you want to play”? Jerome begins playing with the other children. The children begin taking turns putting the ball in the basket. Before, placing the ball in the basket Jerome would jump. After a few times, Jerome took the ball to the wall and started getting a running start to put the ball in the basket. Then he began counting to three before taking his running start to put the ball in the basket. Jerome did this another four times. While playing basketball, the children were lining up back to back to see who’s the taller or tallest. When it came down to Jerome and another classmate...

...positively 30 plus years ago when competing with other small car companies worldwide. [Ford decided set an important goal known as “the limits of2,000”. This meant the Ford Pinto would not cost more than $2,000 and will not weigh more 2,000 pounds] (Trevino & Nelson, 2007, pg. 116). Despite faulty test results, Ford went forward with introducing the Pinto to the public. The results were disastrous. The problem with the Pinto was that the tank was not properly protected and if a rear end crash were to happen at speeds as low as 20 miles per hour the design would cause the gas tank to rupture and a fire or explosion to ensue. [To upgrade each which would have made the Pinto safer, it would have cost Ford $11 each vehicle. The total cost to Ford would have been $137 Million] (Trevino & Nelson, 2007, pg.117). Internal memos sent to upper managers stated that upgrades and modifications would not be made and the Pinto would be sold as originally manufactured. The decision was based on lawsuits which people had already died or were severely injured from the explosions. The lawsuits would be less costly to Ford instead of upgrading or manufacturing the vehicle. This is not only profit ahead of people, but negligence on Ford's part. In many cases, Ford was not even held accountable for the accidents. Most consumers at that time refused to believe that a large company like Ford would be at fault. Pg. 116 &...

...order to do this we will need to discuss the equipment, the cost of the system, what it takes to maintain the system and provide a chart that explains the dataflow of what we created. To make the store automated we will need to purchase some hardware. The store is on a budget, which means I’ve broke it down to what I feel is the bare necessity needed to make this store automated. The hardware description is basic but consists of a computer, operating system, external devices (i.e. printers, fax machine, copier), keyboard, router and a mouse. You can see what it will look like in figure 1. This is working under the assumption our sister didn’t have any of this beforehand. After the purchase and set up of the hardware, the software upgrade is required. Software may drive the requirements for more hardware to be purchased. If we go with a more expensive software package we will need to purchase scanners. This is necessary to keep up with the amount of products coming in and leaving the store. Figure 1 Software is a tricky subject. You can pay someone to write a program for you. Allowing you to input your inventory manually and making you keep up with any coding issues. Another option is to buy an inventory tracking system software package. It would be like buying your normal computers operating system, but...

...M1 – Explain the advantages and potential disadvantages of installation or upgrade of new software For this task I will be explaining the advantages and the potential disadvantages of installing or upgrading a new software. Advantages * One of the advantages of installing or upgrading the new software will be that is will have a faster performance on the computer. So basically the computer will work faster and will respond faster to you so for example say that you are going to open an application or surf the web then when click on it then the computer will respond accordingly and will act fast and do the commands given very fast. * Secondly the advantage of upgrading the software can by chance fix and remove any bugs and then this will help your computer run more smoothly and you will less likely experience any faults or crashing on your computer and also by installing any new patches that are there for the software can also help remove any bugs and the patches might even come with some new and added features. * When upgrading or installing new software then you might be able to get some features that might of not have been available on your old software and might even give you functions like the ones that can increase productivity say if it’s in a business and with the new added functionality and features then this might also help the computer to perform faster and more efficient * One of the main reason why installing and upgrading new software helps...

Businesses reley on information systems to carry out and manage their operations, interact with their customers and suppliers, and compete in the marketplace (Zwass, 2012). Most business organizations are becoming more and more dependent on information systems to manage and maintain their internal organization infracstructures.

...possibly live without these new features. Oh, and some guy named Steve Jobs is dead. But me, I go above and beyond. I dig deep to find interesting articles about things that relate to this class. Why, you ask. Because I care, that’s why. The article I found is titled “Should I upgrade my RAM?” Want to read it? Sure you do. http://www.pcworld.com/article/240679/should_i_upgrade_my_ram.html This is a short and sweet article (unlike this rambling virtual paper wasting article review that you may or may not be reading). The first line of the article answers the question in a way that I fully relate to. It says, “If the money is right, then you probably should.” Next the article talks about using the system scanner tool that will tell you specifically what your system can handle and what type of RAM your board supports. This is the coolest part. I have often wondered what type of RAM is in my computer. It’s just something I usually forget very shortly after building the rig. Heck, I built this very computer less than a month ago and I can’t remember what’s in there. This is a very useful tool. The next segment of the article talks about how upgrading your RAM may not produce a significant speed upgrade if you already have a reasonable amount....

...we manage conflict (coordinate) among people? With our technologies? 4. Rewards: Is there an incentive for doing all that needs doing? 5. Leadership: Is someone keeping the boxes in balance? 6. Helpful mechanisms: Have we adequate coordinating technologies? This model is useful to maintain awareness of all areas for consideration even though one variable may be identified as the main area for attention. I chose this model because I believe that both organizations used these components while trying to implement technical changes within their organizations. Both JetBlue and WestJet knew that the airline business was very competitive and in order to stay relevant, and better serve their customer base, they would need to upgrade the current reservation system they used. Due to JetBlue and WestJet’s growth, it was hard for the outdated system to perform. Sabre Holdings is one of the most widely used airline IT providers, so both JetBlue and WestJet decided they would be the best option for implementing the new system. WestJet was the first out of the two to implement this change and found out first hand that building a working relationship with the engineers from Sabre would have been essential in question asking in order to ensure that both parties are on the same page and WestJet gets exactly what is...

...framework within which the improvement, development and delivery of information technology could be increasingly responsive, stable, and secure in the coming years. Some of the upgrades included on that plan are the following: •Network infrastructure should be upgraded to Gigabit Ethernet, considerably increasing network speed •Port speed needs to be increased from 10 Mbps to 100 Mbps •IDI Internet bandwidth should double immediately and significantly increased annually from that point forward •Deteriorating network infrastructure components have to be identified, replaced, and upgraded, and network reliability improved through the implementation of greater redundancy •Digital modems should replace the analog modems, improving reliability and connection speed •Wireless network standards need to be developed and implemented, and wireless access needs to be provided to several other locations •A new central directory needs to be created and developed as the authoritative source for identity information and authentication •A state-of-the-art backup system will be implemented for centralized backup of enterprise systems Upgrading IDI’s software is more than just an economic business decision. It is a matter of security, productivity, lower costs, and employee morale. The decision to upgrade software must be examined like any other decision. The longer a software package has been around and the more popular the software package is, the more the software represents a security...

...subsumed into any particular social model at the expense of the children it is attempting to serve. (Hughes, 2001, p. xx) Else and Sturrock (1998) get closer, by defining playwork as 'work[ing] with children in the expansion of their potential to explore and experience through play'. (Brown, 2002, p. 81) Adult supervisors need to be trained observers who understand how to guide children when needed and who are wise enough to then stand back and let children play. While we take precautions to provide safe, challenging, stimulating playgrounds, we understand that risk is inherent in play, and indeed is essential for learning through play. Supervision may be improved by taking cues from the playleadership and playwork programs common on many European adventure playgrounds. All playgrounds should provide for a wide range of abilities and disabilities. We caution readers that no two play environments are identical; different manufacturers design individual playground...

...Motor skills are still developing in school aged children. They are very active and curious, so accidents will occur. Falls are ranked by the CDC as the number 1 cause for nonfatal injury to the school aged child (ages 5 –9). In 2009, falls accounted for more than 2.8 million ED visits. The falls occur from many locations, such as, from windows, playground equipment, and bunk beds. Most falls occur at home. (Safe child. 2012). Adult supervision is the most effective deterrent of injury. There are some important safety tips that the adult should know. Safe Kids Worldwide lists these tips as: no playing on high porches, decks, balconies, or stairs; install window guards to keep from falling out of windows; no climbing on furniture; secure TVs and furniture to the wall to prevent them from tipping over; use playgrounds that have shock-absorbing surfaces; and wear helmets and safety equipment for bike riding and skateboarding. (Safety Tips. 2014) The CDC informs us that, in the US, more than 9000 children die each year from unintentional injuries. In 2009 there were 9143 US children who died, about 25 deaths per day. They list the five leading causes of unintentional injury deaths in the 5 – 9 age group as: motor vehicle traffic, drowning, fire/burns, transportation (other), and suffocation (Safe child. 2012). Adult supervision is the number one preventative measure that might save a child’s life. Centers for disease control and prevention: Safe child, national action...

...Cortez Cdec 113 Tue 12:30-3:30 Toddler observation September 26, 2012 Observation #3 The approximate age of the child I was observing today was about 2 year old male. The location where I had observed him was at the park about noon time. The 2 year old boy was playing at the park with other children of different ages maybe between the ages of 2-5 years old. The 2 year old boy started to throw sand at the other kids while they were all playing in the playground; he was doing it just for fun. His mother ordered him to stop and he seemed not to listen to his mother when she has asked him to please stop. After two to three minutes that she had ordered him to stop she when over to the playground and picked him up and left the park letting him know the reason why they were leaving. The whole way back to her car the little boy was kicking and screaming because she had picked him up and took him away from the other kids playing in the playground. His mother got him to stop crying after a while and took him right back to the playground to play with the kids again but this time without throwing sand at the them. This toddler try’s to exert power over the parent by crying and kicking in order for his mother to let him go back and play at the park. The child dose succeed by doing so because he ended up going back to the park but this time with a whole different attitude. The signs that this child showed in developing autonomy was just being negative throwing sand at other kids that were...
