...Week 1 Flash Cards What is a business model? A business model is a clear, simple outline of how the business intends to generate revenue. What are four ways that business can benefit society? Business can benefit society by offering valuable goods and services, providing employment, paying taxes, and contributing to national growth, stability, and security. Do all companies have an R&D function? Explain your answer. No. Many companies simply resell products that other firms make or continue to make the same goods or perform the same services year after year. How is the role of a financial manager different from the role of an accountant? A financial manager is responsible for planning, while an accountant is responsible for monitoring and reporting. What is professionalism? Professionalism is the quality of performing at a high level and conducting oneself with purpose and pride. True professionals exhibit seven distinct traits: striving to excel, being dependable and accountable, being a team player, communicating effectively, demonstrating a sense of etiquette, making ethical decisions, and maintaining a positive outlook.

...designed to hold the cloth flash cards which act as stuffing like in a pillow. It also comes with a carrying bag and it can be rolled up and stored in the bag. When this bag is unzipped, it folds out completely to form a blanket. The lining of the bag comes in a variety of color and is made of a soft cloth that is comfortable enough for sleeping and napping. The outside of the bag has ten, one-foot by one-foot squares stitched into it with the numbers zero through nine stitched into each square. The numbers are stitched into each individual square in a variety of bright colors. The numbers also have different textures such as velvet or vinyl. The flash cards are six-inch by six-inch. The flash cards are made of the same material as the blanket and have basic addition and subtraction problems stitched into them on one side and the solution stitched on the other side with the solution equal to a number between zero and nine. The problems on the flash cards are stitched using the same colors and textures that are used on the blanket. For example, 4 + 5, if the 4 on the blanket is blue vinyl, then the 4 on the flash card will be same and the 5 will also be the same color and texture as the 5 on the blanket. The solution to 4+5 is 9, so the 9 is stitched on the back of the flash card and will be the same color and texture as the 9 on the blanket. When this bag is unzipped and laid on the floor it becomes a large blanket. The child takes the flash cards out of the smaller bag/pillow...

...1. Organizing information I noted from the chapter that “organized information is easier to find” especially if you are selective about the information, organize it in a specific way to make it easier to locate and to remember, and associate it with related information. For example, in my personal life, this strategy would be useful for sorting and saving important emails whether at home or at work. There are times when my inbox is full of information - inspirational, motivational, tips, and up-coming events. At work, information on new banking policies and procedures or product launches are all usually filtered down via email. It is sometimes difficult to refer to the information quickly when you can’t remember when the email was sent or who sent it. Since reading this chapter, I have started to save specific email information as word documents grouped under different folders. This has proven to be effective for linking related topics in the respective folders which makes locating the information quicker. In my academic life, I will first note the topic to be studied and pay greater attention to the learning objectives. This would then make it easier to skim through the chapter and specifically note the more important material and review that first as well as to research any related topics by using other resources. The chapter also noted the importance of paying attention to any information in bold type and any illustrations. This strategy would greatly increase my...

One suggestion for individuals who travel would be the ability to point their phone at a recognizable land mark and be able to see the history of that location. The Flash Crash The conditions prior to the flash crash can be described as down and continually trending downward. There were also issues with Greece and the potential that this country would default. Some of the benefits of electronic trading include speed, reduced costs, and more liquid markets. The systems have the capability of processing large amounts of data in short periods of time and the ability to adjust strategies on the spur of the moment. In the case of the flash crash that occurred in May of 2010, the computer algorithm was not sufficient to handle the severity and complexity of the situation at hand. The question whether or not the crash could have been prevented is debatable. Several safeguards have been put into place in an attempt to prevent a repeat of the flash crash. These safeguards include standardizing circuit breakers in all financial markets, limiting high...

...The Flash APA 6Th Edition Juan Carlos Garcia South Texas College "My name is Barry Allen, and I am the fastest man alive” Like most comic book characters we often get different versions to a character’s past, and story lines. I’ll be talking from the current TV show The Flash from The CW Network. The First episode aired: October 7, 2014 and right now season 2 is going on and episode 18 will be airing April 19th.

...My Prediction for Season 2 flash story line includes Futures end influences and a Wally West Flash! Here is how I have come to that conclusion and then some. In Tuesday night's episode of The Flash during the body snatcher scene Eobard says to Harrison; "In the year twenty twenty (five years from now) you and your wife Tes Morgan successfully launch a particle accelerator that changes the course of history". Eobard accelerated that timeline, to the year 2015 (technically 2014, and they should have had the line read 2019). Five years from now, the DC Comic Universe plot line for Futures End is as follows: "Reeling from a war with Another Earth, leaving the world unprepared for an approaching evil that threatens to destroy the future can a time traveling Batman (beyond)." Now simply begin to replace batman with "Can a time-traveling Barry Allen, help a massive cast of the DCU’s finest avert the impending apocalypse caused by the changes to the timeline Eobard Thawn the Reverse Flash set in motion after the eventual survival of Barry's mother? That means season two should be getting heavy doses of influence from the Futures End storyline. For the new as-yet-unnamed show, they are casting characters like HawkGirl, so this gives some credibility to a "massive cast" I digress, now since Harrison wells and Tess Morgan will be the cause of the S.T.A.R. labs explosion in 2020, we should see some new superheroes from older cast members, like Cisco becoming Vibe and Mrs. Katlin snow becoming...

...¬¬¬Production of the Connecting Rod Drop Forged Connecting Rods Connecting rods are most commonly drop forged, firstly a blank steel bar with a rectangular or round cross section, it is heated to around 1300°C and is rolled to redistribute the masses to the larger and smaller ends. The most important part of the process takes place in a hammer unit, the steel rod is placed in a die and after a few consecutive blows of a hammer the steel bar is forced into the shape of the die, giving the connecting rod its shape. Drop forging produces flash around the edges of the connecting rod which is removed, the larger hole and sometimes the smaller hole (in larger connecting rods) are also simultaneously punched in this process. After the flash is removed the connecting rod is heat treated and then machined, the final stage of the process is the separation of the cap from the rod (unless the cap and the rod have been forged separately), this is usually done by sawing but an alternative is to use splitting. Alternative methods of production A newer technology called Sintering is becoming more popular to produce control rods; it begins with the sevrohydraulic pressing of powdered metal in its final alloy, to create a powdered preform of the control rod. Next the preform is heated to around 1120°C in an electrically heated furnace for around 15 minutes, the finished piece is now ready. The reason this technology has not taken the place of the drop forging process is because...

...devices for example keyboards, mice, monitors etc. One main difference between hardware and software is that hardware can be touched and software cannot. RAM RAM is an acronym for Random Access Memory. It is a type of memory that is most commonly found in computers and other devices such as printers. There are two types of RAM. Dynamic RAM and static RAM. The two types of RAM differ in the technology they use to hold data, with DRAM being the more common type. In terms of speed, SRAM is faster. DRAM needs to be refreshed thousands of times per second while SRAM does not need to be refreshed, which is what makes it faster than DRAM. Flash cards A flash card is a small data storage device that uses a flash memory chip to store data. Flash cards can be quite small in size, with a capacity of a few gigabytes of storage. The memory in these cards is non-volatile, so it does not require a power source to remain intact. Graphics tablet A graphics tablet is a piece of a hardware that is a computer input device. It allows you to make hand drawn images similar to that of a pencil and paper. It consists of a touch screen tablet and a stylus to draw. Monitor A monitor is like a small version of a TV. It displays the user interface and open programs, allowing the user to interact with the computer. Older computer monitors used Cathode Ray Tubes (CRTs) which made them large and heavy. Modern monitors are built using Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and are much thinner and lighter. ...

...Magnetic Storage Magnetic storage devices store data by magnetizing particles on a disk or tape. A floppy disk is so called because it consists of a flexible sheet of plastic, coated with iron oxide – a magnetizable material. A floppy disk drive spins at 360 revolutions per minute (rpm), so it's relatively slow. However, a hard drive spins at over 7,200 rpm and stores data on a stack of metal rotating disks called platters. This means you can store much more data and retrieve information much faster. New disks need to be formatted before you can use them, unless they come preformatted from the manufacturer. When the disk is formatted, the operating system (OS) organizes the disk surface into circular tracks and divides each track into sectors. The OS creates a directory which will record the specific location of files. When you save a file, the OS moves the read/write head of the drive towards empty sectors, records the data and writes an entry for the directory. Later on, when you open that file, the OS looks for its entry in the directory, moves the read/write heads to the correct sector, and reads the file in the RAM area. However, formatting erases any existing files on a disk, so do not format disks on which data that you don't want to lose is stored. The OS allows you to create one or more partitions on your hard drive, in effect dividing it into several logical parts. Partitions let you install more than one operating system (e.g. Windows and Linux) on your computer...
