...Children under the Influence English 215 In today’s society, putting children who have more energy than others on medication is the norm, but why? Some children may be hyper because of the lack of attention that they get at home. They have a need to be the center of attention in order to feel like they are being noticed or important. They may have issues bottled up in their heads because they are not allowed to properly express themselves. This makes it difficult to concentrate on a simple task that someone has put in front of them. Thus, thisleaves the children to feel overwhelmed. These children are the guinea pigs of today’s society. There are the people who will turn into people with addictive personalities. They will grow up and fall in with the wrong group of friends and do something that they will regret and get them into trouble. Then, their only defense will be is that they were not on their prescribed medication at the time of the incident. That is not right and it is not the responsible way to look at the world. They will be dependent on their medication and others because their entire lives, they were not allowed to think clearly for themselves. Is that what we want for the future generations? Is that how we mold the future generations into being strong minded, inspired, free thinking, and thriving individuals? If people thing that putting their children on prescribed medications is a wise decision, I think that they are wrong and misguided. It is my belief that...

...PERSUASIVE PT 2: SOLUTIONS AND ADVANTAGES College Athletes—Pay or not to Pay, That is the Question? Encouraging today's youth to attend a higher education institution is more important that ever before. Students attend these higher academic institutions by either sports or academic achievement. Focusing on the student population that attends for sports –related purposes, scouts tracked these students to pose the student to attend the represented institutions in the areas of mostly football or basketball. It is not that scouts do not focus on other sports, such as soccer or baseball; just that the marketability of college football or basketball appears to get the most attention from the institutions as well sports media. Obtaining a higher education leads to better-paying jobs and a potentially a better way of life. What about the urban student that lives in poverty that this may be his or her way to a better-living remains based on their athletic talents? They may be great at "hooping" or "can throw the distance" but can they write a term paper? The answer that may surprise most is the answer is yes; they can. However, they cannot afford to attend the local university in their home state let alone another state altogether. So, if they get into the university on a scholarship, play their heart out, and get their championship team to the bowl what do they get for all their hard work? Do all they deserve is a pat on the back when the college receives millions? What...

...“Analysis on main advantages and disadvantages of devolution and fiscal federalism: is a hybrid solution the cure?” All countries in the world, regardless their degree of development, size, complexity or their form of government, must tackle an important choice when it comes to decide how the power is distributed between the central government and the sub-national entities who exercise governmental functions at local level. The two possibilities at the end of the spectrum, i.e.: complete decentralization of powers to local bodies on the one hand and total centralization of administrative and fiscal powers in the central government on the other hand, are often not feasible since both entail downsides that could hinder the sound functioning of the country. The federal system has been applied extensively throughout history, even though with certain modifications and adaptations, in several countries, such as the US, Canada, Germany and Switzerland. It is based on the existence of a principal-agent relationship between central government and a network of decentralized sub-national entities. The latter act as agents on behalf of the central government and they are responsible of carrying out governmental tasks and responsibilities at a local level. In particular, federalism can be extended and applied to fiscal powers, allowing local governmental authorities to retain part of the revenues stemming from tax collection instead of just collecting for the central government, which...

... On Design patterns Advanced topics in software engineering CSC 532 Submitted by:- Harpreet Singh Abstract:- Design patterns, a standard solution to problems in object oriented software engineering, are considered to be a well formed language to represent software design. Their benefits have been widely acknowledged by software professionals throughout the world. Design patterns can be classified according to multiple criteria the most common being the type of problem they solve. Till today many design patterns have been established and many more are being found as time passes. Patterns capture knowledge from various parts of software developing. Design patterns are helpful to the designers in a way that they represent the collective wisdom and experience of the community and their implementation leads to better quality software and also a novice designer does not find it difficult to understand the systems functionality. A very important advantage of design patterns is the fact that they speed up the development process by providing an almost ready-made solution that has been used earlier and proved to be efficient. Another advantage is that they allow for a generalized solution that does not depend on understanding a specific design problem from all its aspects, and thus ease reusing this solution. Apart from that they help the new developers to ignore traps and pitfalls which have earlier been learned by other developers by costly experience. In this paper...

...Advantages and Disadvantages of Java v. .NET University of Phoenix CSS/422 .NET and Java There is no shortage of definitions for software architecture but in a general sense it is the blueprint for a system, its properties and the relationships among all of the elements. It specifies all of the actions to be taken by the design and implementations teams. There are various differences between .NET and Java Technology so there are certainly advantages and disadvantages to using one or the other as software architecture. The choice, however, depends on the scope of the project and the skill of the design team. Both .NET and Java have platforms that offer a good solid foundation for project design. Java Technology is the choice of many developers because of its work-saving features and ease of use. “.NET and web services are tightly integrated and it is easier to create a basic web service in .NET” (Ranck, 2002). Advantages A major advantage of .NET is that it allows for the use of multiple languages and horizontal scalability. This feature makes it an ideal choice by developers for software architecture if they want to write programs in C++, Java or Virtual Basic because it provides a unified environment in which to work. It is easily developed and supported. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for Java which is limited to use with the Java programming language only. Another advantage of .NET is that the interface is easily...

...1. Major Facts/Major Problems: The Universal Motor Company is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of automobiles and trucks. In 1980, purchase content was 65 percent of the cost of goods sold. During the late 1970s, the U.S. government began addressing the air pollution issue by establishing vehicle emissions standards and corporate average fuel consumption targets for vehicles sold in the United States. The U.S government-mandated standards could not be achieved with available technology. These mandated standards required the auto industry to design engine control computers to manage engine efficiency more precisely. The company purchased about $10 million worth of semiconductors in 1980 from twenty suppliers. Semiconductors were a greater cause of production disruption than were all other purchased materials. The 1980 situation (forward planning) demanded new thinking and a new approach to the acquisition of semiconductors. The Universal Motor team was battling with wither they should make-or-buy the required semiconductors. So a team of experts were assigned to develop a program analyzing the semiconductor industry. Both primary and secondary research was conducted. The make-or-buy issue consisted of many sub issues, which caused the entire process of designing, manufacturing, and testing to be broken down into stages. A 1982 environment scan revealed some very interesting facts. The first and most important was that design engineers were...

...Competitive Advantage Paper In this report we focus on the two main competitors in the package delivery industry: Federal Express Corporation (FedEx) and United Parcel Service of America, Inc. (UPS). Studying FedEx, UPS and their competitive relationship gives a good insight for the companies' and industry's future. The two companies have different strategic goals and are operating in the same industry but in different main markets: FedEx is working on "producing outstanding financial returns" and focuses on the profitability of overnight air market whereas UPS is looking for "earning reasonable profit" and its core business that is the ground delivery. Sustainable competitive advantage Attaining a competitive advantage in package delivery business appears to be a challenging task. The main reason is that it is an easy-to- duplicate business both for the competitors and any new entrants. This is obvious in FedEx's case: the company always has distinguished itself through technologically advanced services, expanding in many places and new products over other competitors, especially UPS. UPS was the main choice for low-priced ground delivery services however being a market follower in the air delivery sector could negatively affect its reputation and cause loss of market in the long term. Taking the above into consideration the combination of high-service quality, convenience and low rates can give a company a sustainable competitive advantage. Federal Express "We will...
