...Kudler Fine Foods Network One of the considered “best fine food stores” around is the Kudler Fine Foods. However, Kudler is in serious need of a network infrastructure upgrade of their old one. To introduce the latest technologies in data collection, company communication, and information protection while providing the best data speeds and network access are the main goals of the enterprise network. This huge step is significant as this will increase the revenue and will reduce the costs of operation throughout the Kudler Fine Foods stores. Kudler Fine Foods will go back up to technological speed as the network upgrade is completed, while at the same time improving the way they keep track of inventory and sales by using data mining techniques, which will be collected and analyzed in real time. Network Overview The review of the current network used at Kudler Fine Foods was able to determine that the network topology that is being used is the bus topology. The bus network is set-up in such a way that all the network components are connected via CAT5 to the bus or communication line. This configuration is true at sites in the corporation for their workstations, servers, and standalone UPS. A 56k modem is the device that is used by all of the networks communicating to the internet. Although the bus network is very reasonable when it comes to cost, the downfall is that when the backbone goes down, the entire network can encounter an outage that is very difficult to troubleshoot...

...Concert Critique # 1 On February 9th, 2013, I attended a concert that was performed by the Charleston Symphony Orchestra. This concert was organized by the Moncks Corner, South Carolina, Mayor’s Office and Recreation Department, and was performed in the Berkley High School Auditorium. The Charleston Symphony Orchestra would actually have 2 instrumental sets with a brief intermission between them. The 1st musical set was played by their String Quartet and they would be playing Mozart’s String Quartet #19. The 2nd musical set would be performed by the Woodwind Quintet, and they would be playing the Beethoven - Quintet, Op.71. Below you will find a critique primarily on the 1st set that was played by the Charleston Symphony Orchestra String Quartet. In 1785, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart wrote a six string quartet which he dedicated to his friend and mentor Joseph Haydn. The one that was played tonight was arguably the most popular one and I was written and performed in C major. The piece was also called the "Dissonant Quartet". It was arguably Mozart's finest quartet writing, most beloved chamber music piece and the performance tonight did an excellent job at captivating every minute detail to the piece. This piece had a total of 4 movements. On 1st Violin was Alex Wathrow, on 2nd Violin was Asico Cramer, On the Viola was Christopher Manning, and on the Cello was Damion Cramer. Adagio. Allegro Just listen to the opening bars of this movement and you will see where this quartet gains...

...Bram Stoker’s Dracula was a piece of literature that was one of a kind in its time frame. The book was so out of the everyday norm for society back then the novel has stuck around for so long. The thought of vampires at this point in time was thought of, but never imagined like it is in this novel. This novel was so unique because Bram Stoker actually portrayed Van Helsing as himself, with all of Bram Stokers education. The way that the novel begins and the break down of how the flow of the novel starts was very entertaining, its as if they went away from the anti-climatic build up of the vampires lair and went to what is Dracula. Although the detail of the story and all the details that were so different of the time most definitely over shadowed Dracula as a character. The overhead of the story was of three males who are all suitors to the young Lucy. Eventually leading to her demise, Lucy is bitten and turned into what is considered a female vampire courtesy of yours truly, Dracula . While each one of the suitors for young Lucy is in a daze to try to grasp whats wrong with her the eventually figure out what is wrong. The transition in the story flowed very well and was most of time very easily understood. The whole concept of how they need to set young Lucy free i believe was very climatic in a sense to where these men had come to marry her also had to kill her which was unique of a novel of this time. Bram Stoker threw so many different little details which made the...

This movie is one that will pull at your heart strings and make you wonder was this how life really was during this time and was this what was happening in the European theater at the time of the war. Trying to decide which theory to use while critiquing this movie the easiest one for me to chose was the genre theory not because it was the easiest one in the list but because I am the spouse of a combat veteran who has gone through many of the same things that the cast had to endure when they were filming this movie in a generalized sense.

...In Jennifer Mclunes article, "Hip Hop Betrayal Of Black Women," she defends women both in Powell’s presented article and in hip hop music in general. Mclune starts by degrading Powell and his article saying that his explanation was basically an excuse for sexism. Mclune also calls Powell out on the fact that he justifies what these so called "men" are saying in the hip hop industry. Just because they grew up in poverty doesn’t justify what they are doing to be right. It is no different that the women that have grown up in poverty and violence, but yet they aren't producing this music that the men are. Mclune speaks about how the degrading of women is what keeps hip hop thriving, and the sad thing about it is that if that was to stop that the fans would be disappointed and they would probably end up losing interest in there music if they took that out. Basically that girls and women that like this kind of music and keep encouraging it are setting themselves up to be victims. Mclune also talks about how these companies that sign with hip hop artist and people who continue to be fans and buying the music are really almost encouraging them to act out in this way. Mclune also speaks of a woman that is a hip-hop artist, Eve. Her appearance and her actions encourage men to act this way, and that women artist can be just like the males in an aspect. Mclune finds it astonishing that no one has gone to greater levels or even tried to do something about the way women are degraded in hip...

Therefore, any activity that is able to demonstrate these three components must be seen as a leisure activity. However, in society some of the reflection of these activities that people are merely participating in are seen as been on the verge, in terms of being outside acceptable norms of behaviour and having a negative impact on the wellbeing of the individual if overused. These leisure activities are commonly derived as being seen as the ‘dark side of leisure’ or ‘leisure deviant’. Leisure can be a time for self-expression, even if it is outside the self-normality of society, however who can define it as being either a good or bad activity to participate in. If it’s giving the individual an overall sense of pleasure and positive experiences from participating, shouldn’t it be considered as an acceptable leisure activity to take part in? Based on the three components of leisure, I will evaluate whether gambling provides any overall benefits to the individual overall in relation to their wellbeing, specifically focusing on the question, ‘Does gambling have any beneficial leisure...

...Toyota Takes On ‘Do or Die’ Cost Challenge in India October 21, 2010, 3:25 AM EDT By Makiko Kitamura and Siddharth Philip Oct. 21 (Bloomberg) -- Toyota Motor Corp.’s new Etios compact will be half the price of its cheapest model in India as the automaker seeks to win share from Maruti Suzuki India Ltd. The new car, also to be sold in China and Brazil, will be priced in the range of market leader Maruti’s 405,300-rupee ($9,200) Swift compact, Hiroshi Nakagawa, managing director of Toyota’s India unit, said in an interview in Bangalore. Maruti’s 229,000-rupee Alto is the country’s best-selling car, accounting for 13 percent of Indian auto sales. “It has been a challenge to build quality at a lower price,” Nakagawa said. “The Indian car market is one of the toughest markets in the world. Customers and car owners are very cost-conscious.” The Etios highlights Toyota’s struggle to balance sales in low-cost car segments in emerging markets without risking its reputation for quality. The automaker is lowering costs for its new model by increasing the amount of parts purchased in India, with initially 70 percent locally sourced. Engine and transmission production will also start in the nation in 2012. “Bringing procurement cost to a very competitive level is a do or die challenge for our procurement and production teams,” Executive Vice President Yukitoshi Funo said in an interview on Oct. 4. ‘Premium Over Competitors’ The compact arrives as Nissan Motor Co. plans to sell a...

...Outside Reading 1 Why Employees DON’T DO what they’re supposed to do.. and What TO DO about it. By David F. Alessandro The book opens up with discussing hidden influences that affect employees. He suggested though out the book that it is primarily a lack of quality management that leads to poor performances. His approach is to utilize 16 predetermined influences and offer examples and solutions to each. The format of the book is very simple and easy to read. The author uses each chapter to address the influence and breaks each one of them down systematically and consistently. The book in itself could almost be used as a quick reference for managers. It does have some quality advice and suggestions on how to deal with the situations. The flaw that I believe the author does not fully address or develop is that he places all of the blame for each suggestion on management. He is not inclusive with management. They to have their own issues and learning opportunities and will need assisted. He does attempt to address this situation in his Q&A at the end of the book, but simply relies on the 16 influences and that everything else is covered in this report or that report. I am to read the book and believe that this is the absolute solution and yet the last stance is if it is not in my suggestions then it is somewhere else and we do not have to deal with it. The Author references “They don’t know why they should do it” in the first chapter. The first issue is...

Andrew writes the article as a graduate student at Fuller Theological Seminary pursuing a Master of Arts in Theology. In the exposition he presents a historical overview of the biblical inerrancy debate and reviews arguments concerning inerrancy of the bible as relevant to modern evangelicalism. Due to spatial limitations, Andrew restricts his focus to examining the views in support of and against inerrancy from four major perspectives: the slippery slope, epistemological, historical, and biblical arguments. Brief Summary The article is written as an exhortation for the promotion and defense of the inerrancy doctrine while warning against a universal acceptance of all supporting arguments. Andrew opens by defining inerrancy according to Paul D. Feinberg1, as well as Article XII of the Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy2;...

To correct the question, a better choice of expression would make much easier to comprehend. E.g. What qualities would your friends use to describe you? b) Unclear directions in how to respond to the question What five characteristics do you most look for in a friend? Please CHOOSE FIVE of the following characteristics. ___Loyalty __Popularity ___Appearance __Grades ___Self Control __Empathy ___Being Assertive _Compassion ___Athletic Ability __Integrity ___Honesty __Courage ___Respect __Wealth ___Competitiveness * The question asks the reader to choose 5 characteristics, but not how to choose it. More specification should be considered into the question, such as asking the respondent to place a check mark beside the desired answers. c) Ambiguity in responses-respondent may be confused about how to answer because some answers overlap or they perceive no correct answer.
