...General Apple's Vision was the Macintosh that was called “digital hub” that isa popular model of computer introduced in 1984, that features a graphical user interface ( GUI) that utilizes windows, icons, and a mouse to make it relatively easy for novices to use the computer productively. Rather than learning a complex set of commands, that wasonly need point to a selection on a menu and click a mouse button. Moreover, the GUI is embedded into the operating system. This means that all application that run on a Macintosh computer have a similar user interface. Once a user has become familiar with one application, he or she can learn new applications relatively easily. The success of the Macintosh GUI heralded a new age of graphics-based applications and operating systems. The Windows interface copies many features from the Mac. There are many different Macintosh models, with varying degrees of speed and power. All models are available in many different configurations. All models since 1994 are based on the PowerPC microprocessor. They believed had a real advantage for consumers who were becoming entrenched in a digital lifestyle. Also, digital cameras, portable music players, and digital camcorders. That they though could be the preferred hub to control integrate, and add value to the devices. Also to control of both hardware and software.Apple is committed to bringing the best personal computing experience to students, educators, creative professionals and consumers around the...

...Question 1: Determine how each corporate culture differs from the other. When computing, software tools, and consumer electronics are mentioned, two companies immediately come to mind: Apple and Microsoft. While the two are alike, with the innovation of computer products, their corporate cultures show where the two differ and how it affects the success of the business. Apple was started by three men but one continued work for Apple on and off up until his demise, Steve Jobs, Apple's most important corporate culture. Jobs knew how to “leave something to the [consumers] imagination” creating utter excitement and the patience for the item to release. What led Apple to success was by running Apple as a startup corporate culture and the fact that “no other business is tougher on its partners by enforcing strict codes of secrecy” (Colvin et al., 2013). The strategies Job put into place seem to make Apple “a brutal and unforgiving place, where accountability is strictly enforced, decisions are swift, and communication is articulated clearly from the top to ensure no misunderstandings” (Lashinsky & Burke, 2011). Jobs held every person in place of power more and more accountable by “eliminating passive aggression and encouraging debate as new ideas are formulating” (Merchant 2010). This teaches leadership and ensures that Apple can and will continue its “computing and software duties” long after his tenure is up. It’s hard to argue this may be an undesirable strategy with the continued...

...applications. When launching an application, the system OS only allows for a specific portion of memory to be utilized in what is called an application partition. The system Heap is the main part of the system partition which exclusively reserves itself for the operating system and software components. The Heap loads system code, resources and data structures, including the system buffering and queues. The Heap starts at the low memory end and only expands when needed to the high memory area. In multitasking situations, each application is limited in its memory partition. It is only allotted in total what is assigned as its maximum intended usage to not over access memory usage. If the application requires the use of more memory, the RAM grants the application Temporary memory from the Heap to allow for smoother function ability. The operating environment is controlled by the system global variables which is the elapsed time of each open applications since system start up.

...Date: 20th November 2012 Timothy D. Cook Chief Executive Officer Apple Inc. SYNOPSIS: Apple Inc. is at a crossroad in the company’s existence, where it needs to decide in which direction to move for the continual success of the brand. Through innovation and sound product lines, the company has managed to triumph tremendous odds of continuous success over the past thirty plus years of the company’s IPO. Co-founder and former CEO Steve P. Jobs, put the company on the right track for success. It is my suggestion that the company stay true to the vision and direction Jobs set course for Apple Inc. The success of the company lies on the following product lines: iPhone, iPad and Mac devices. All other product lines must be formed to support these three products. It is quite clear that Apple Inc. has put much of its technological resources into the iPhone. The iPhone has now become the major revenue provider for the company at over 50% of total income. The iPad, taking the second greatest majority of revenue at over 22% for the company, also needs to stay aggressive in its category of technology. It is my belief that table devices will eventually make the laptop obsolete. I will cover this theory in further detail in the actual report. Next, the home computing devices, the original product line of Apple Inc., must continue to exist. This is the reason the company came to be and is a sure bet to stable profits for the company. This too, will be covered on the following pages...

...Grant Participation Part II 2 Grant Participation Part II The Salvation Army’s Alegria Program provides services to families who have a member living with HIV/AIDS and do not have any other housing options. Initially the program is set up in three phases. The first phase is emergency housing, and if need be clients then transfer into the transitional housing phase, and upon further stabilization (as well as vacancies) families then move into the third phase, which is permanent housing. The Salvation Army was seeking to fund 16 transitional housing units, and as a result applied for a government grant through LAHSA (The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority). The role of this writer was to contact appropriate departments in order to obtain certain documents so that they may be submitted along with the RFP. This was somewhat challenging because departments were inundated with requests from other programs due to the submission of grant renewals and quarterly reports . This writer had to make several attempts to obtain some of the paperwork. Departments contacted included: the finance department, in order to request copies of financial audit reports, as well as assurances, IRS paperwork demonstrating proof of nonprofit status, the development department in order to obtain information on current donations from donors, etc. This writer also had to communicate with the grants manager as well as the executive director of social services, and the executive director of...

...no longer qualify for federal grants, so I am looking for a way to pay for college. School is very important to me and I enjoy learning. I am a mother of 3, with a child on the way. My Fiancé works at Mt Mariah Baptist Church in Matthews NC and does not bring home much. I work at Time Warner Cable and also do not bring home enough to afford school without financial assistance. My classes for the Fall semester is about a thousand dollars and that does not include the four books that I have to buy, which will average out to about $150 a book. I decided to go back to school after taking a good look at my future at the current company that I work for. All the advancement opportunities require a bachelor degree or better. I plan on transferring to UNC and completing my bachelor there. It seems like the most logical way to go, instead of wasting all that money on all these new online schools that credits most likely won’t transfer. I have tried to go to online schools like Strayer University, ECPI, and Kaplan. Even though I was focused and determine, I eventually realized that these types of classroom settings was not for me and that the cost of these schools were too expansive. They swallowed up all my grant money and I still had to get loans to cover the remaining balance of school. That is why I decided to go back to community college. It is accessible and they too have online classes. Not only that, but it is also affordable. The Federal Grants cover all cost and fees. This...

Distinguishing contributions from exchange transactions (see paragraphs 958-605-55-3 through 55-8 : ) b. Distinguishing the contribution portion of membership dues (see paragraphs 958-605-55-9 through 55-12 : ) c.

...raising taxes to cover these items, the time is now to get out in front of the issues by forming a fundraising committee or looking for an established nonprofit agency to help search for grants to help the city and the police department. The city needs to look for a grant, or grants, to pay for police equipment and computer training for the entire force. The police badly need four (4) new computers, twelve (12) bulletproof vests, eight (8) telephones and two (2) motorcycles (or horses) to catch criminals on foot. Once an agency is selected or a committee is formed internally, the township will also need funding for eighteen (18) street lights for a high-crime neighborhood and there is a suggestion to form a task force to count the broken windows in another neighborhood and begin the process of getting those repaired or replaced. This morning, someone else added that the fire department would soon need a new fire truck. For this assignment, pretend that you work for a nonprofit organization in this township and you are already on a standing committee for community development. You have just heard about the city’s needs, and you have approached the Director to ask if you can work on this project. The director has given you this approval, if your agency can get the computer training portion of the grant monies. The director mentioned that there may be a person in the community who may be willing to donate a motorcycle to the city through your nonprofit agency. Your committee does not...

...Grant Proposals It doesn’t matter if the business is just an agency, organization, for profit or non-profit they need money to operate. Profit companies focus on getting their funding through revenues and interest-bearing loans. Non-profit companies depend on grants, loans, and public generosity. It is a must to understand that non-profit agencies are businesses too and they also need a way to pay for their expenses. Writing grants is the way an agency finds funding. Either an employee professional grant writer or having administrative personnel to write the proposals, they then submit them for review to potential donors. Writing grants proposals is far from an easy to deal with. There are deadlines, awareness of what programs a funder is looking to invest their time and money into. Details for the application are an important part to writing a grant. Some are short and don’t require much information, while others require detailed description of the program. This is the grant writer’s priority to make sure that it meets requirement and all the information that is needed is there. The primary point to a proposal is that is to get their program out there and to make it clear and honest picture of the organization project for those funding and in general. The writer must convince the review committee that their program is the best to choose. Grant proposals are the entrance to a organization, and creative writing can either win the committee over or break the deal. The information...

...SPEA – V558 Fund Development for Nonprofits Jamie Levy Assessment of BBYO Development Program The above graph (not to scale) is a reflection of the development program at BBYO, Inc. BBYO is an independent, pluralistic, Jewish youth movement that recently (2002) became independent of its parent body, B’nai B’rith (a Jewish fraternal and social service agency). Since this time, BBYO has worked very hard to court a number of major donors. However, it seems that the donative spectrum is too heavily skewed towards a number of major donors; while small to medium size gifts are a relatively small part of the revenue stream. I believe this is a most unwelcome development. The reasons why I believe this phenomenon to be problematic are two-fold. Any organization that becomes dependent on a small subset of donors for over 91% of its revenue runs the risk of losing operational and mission-related control of the organization. Additionally, it seems that a great deal of donative income is “left on the table.” The organization has apparently expended far too little effort searching for small to midsize donations. I believe that a great deal of untapped development potential is waiting to be realized. BBYO is an 85 year old Jewish Youth Movement that has an alumni base of over 35,000 individuals. When one considers that this number does not reflect the parents of alumni, one can only conclude that this very large donor base has mainly gone untapped. It would be interesting to compare...
