...ARDI: ARDI: 1. Ardipithecus ramidus dates back about ______ years. Answer: Ardipithecus ramidus dates back some 4.4 million years ago. 2. A big difference between Ardipithecus and Australopithecus was: (compare the diagrams of Australopithecus skulls, jaws, teeth, pelvises and feet) Answer: Skeleton majorDifferences | Ardipithecus | Australopithecus | Skulls | Ardipithecus skull rests atop the spinal column, indicating this species was bipedal, although it probably walked in a slightly different manner than humans. | -The dark area at the bottom of the skull is the foramen magnum, the hole through which the spinal column passes. It has a forward position in australopithecine skulls | Jaws | -Ardipithecus has rectangular shape of ape jaws. | -Their jaw has the parabolic shape of human jaws. | Teeth | They have large canine teeth. | -The teeth of australopithecines are similar to those of humans.-They do not have the large canine teeth of apes | Pelvises | -Their pelvis has a mix of features useful for both climbing and upright walking and suggests the species still spent significant time in the trees.-The lower pelvis is large and the angle of the ischial surface does not face upward as it does in humans and Australopithecus. | -Australopithecine pelvises are far more similar to humans than to those of apes, and shows that they were undoubtedly bipedal.- Despite the overall similarity, australopithecine pelvises are not identical to those of humans | Feet | The...

...progress each of us was making. Everyone in the group seemed to be moving along just fine. The group decided to schedule a time to meet, in order to discuss our progress thus far or any questions we might have. At the first meeting, one of the group members did not show up, even though she said she was available. The 3 of us who showed up decided to continue without her. At the next class meeting, the person who did not show apologized for her absence and told us that everything was just fine on her end. We decided to meet again on the CSULA campus, everyone agreed to the time and place. Once again the same student did not show up, we went about our business, discussing the project. After the meeting we decided to send the missing classmate an email, wondering what was going on. She apologized once again and assured us that she was doing her portion of the AIG project. As time drew near, we still did not hear from her, even after repeated attempts. She did not attend class regularly, so we could not confront her about her participation. The 3 remaining members decided to talk to our professor about our classmates’ non-participation. Our...

...an easier process for the new hire orientation. Background The research suggests that the main issue taking place is a lack of proper planning. There were many aspects of preparation process for the orientation that were overlooked or the amount of time required to completing the tasks was unknown or ignored. It would also appear that the fact that Mr. Robbins is new in his position as recruiter. His lack of “real world” experience could have caused him to under-estimate the amount of time that is required to prepare for orientation. Another issue that this analysis discovered is that Mr. Robbins was not aware of what condition his orientation manuals and that many were missing pages. This also caused Mr. Robbins added stress because he had to take time, which he didn’t have, to locate the missing pages and create new pages to be included in the manuals. Lack of experience and improper planning appears to be the main issues in this case. Key Problems There are some key issues that this case analysis will focus on. A large portion of the problem is a lack of experience on the part of Mr. Robbins. He is clearly a motivated individual and eager to do his job well but his inexperience has led to Mr. Robbins not correctly judging the amount of time required to properly prepare for orientation. Mr. Robbins effectively recruited 15 new hires that he would like to have fully working by the month of July. He initially recruited these individuals in April....

...Insights and Reflections The limitation of using E-slate in Edu-System is even though the battery life of E-slates are one to two weeks, more electricity will be used in schools in the long run due to charging stations in schools used to charge the E-slate. The increase in electricity consumption is not environmentally sustainable in the long run. This does not fulfill one of the objectives of implementing the Edu-System which is to sustain the environment by reducing paper consumption in schools. Hence, solar panels can be installed on E-slates and be used as the main power source for E-slates, as solar panels are increasingly gaining popularity as an alternative electricity source as compared to burning fossil fuels. Besides, schools can install a few solar panels on rooftops to gain maximum exposure from the sun which will be used for charging stations of E-slates. However, solar panels are expensive and will increase the cost of production of E-slate which will increase the price of E-slate, making it less affordable to students. Therefore, developers of the E-slate can look into partnering with research firms to have solar panels installed in schools and E-slate. This can help to come out with affordable solar panels, hence it helps to subsidize the cost of the E-slate. Another limitation of the Edu-System is that students and teachers who are not IT-savvy will not benefit from it. Students who are not IT savvy will spend time trying to figure out how to use the E-slate...

...Part C According to Anton Shone (2001), an event experience describes ‘an opportunity for leisure, social or cultural experience outside the normal range of choices or beyond everyday experience’. In order to describe the event’s experience, this quote is quite helpful. In terms of experience, an event should get the visitor out of everyday life. It should provide the participant a new and exciting world in order to create a unique experience. Coming to the event, it can be said that the escape out of the real world worked rather good. The event provided a lot of targets with which an exclusive experience could be formed. Coming to the actual event, the Groniger festival gave visitors the opportunity to experience many different things on many different places. The experience was formed due to the variety of happenings and the diversity of spectrums. People as well as our group could not have the chance to be bored or uninterested due to many the locations. As soon as something turned to be tedious, people changed to the next place. The event provided the chance to feel highly involved. The reason for this was the interaction with the audience. In comparison to other happenings like this, the ‘Nach van kunst en weterschap’ gave people the chance to actively try things, experiment with science and art and be involved as an individual. To give an example for this, a group of scientists offered the opportunity to create and see your own DNA. You had to wash your mouth with salt...

...seven elements of collective ambition (purpose, vision, targets and milestones, strategic and operational priorities, brand promise, core values, and leader behaviors) will help leaders to achieve organizational excellence. What do I agree with? The most basic and important takeaway from this article is the authors’ recommendation to “place purpose at the heart.” A clear sense of purpose is the indispensable foundation for an organization to communicate its value to customers and to engage its employees to share its vision. In the case of Standard Chartered Bank, it already had a strong purpose, “to maintain a positive presence for all its stakeholders,” which allowed the CEO and executive team to re-articulate its brand promise, the missing element in its collective ambition. Sephora, however, achieved its resurgence...

...Land of the lost The short story ‘’land of the lost’’ is written by Stewart O’Nan. An old woman can’t give up in finding a missing girl. She and the family might be the only one still looking for her. She disappeared two and a half year ago, but the old lady trains her dog to search for things and finally something is found a afternoon behind a Ryder truck center. The story is about an older woman who lives by her own with her dog ‘Ollie’ who is a German shepherd. She was married but got divorced. With her ex husband she got two boys, who is adults and live at their own. She works as a cashier in Perry. She is investigating a homicide on a girl that happened for two and a half years ago. She trains her dog to search for things like a police dog. She started to plan when she was going to look after the girl, and first it started with four days a week but then she twisted her ankle and missed three weeks. To catch up she went out five days a week. She felt like she might be the only one who was still looking for the murder. ”Besides the family, she might be the only person looking for her” (P. 10 line 74-75) One afternoon she walked outside Fairport Harbor, behind a Ryder truck center, when Ollie stopped and lay down in a shallow trough filled with pine duff. it wasn’t anything she’d taught him. She could not get him, to get up, she had to coax him away with a treat and tie him to the tree, and even then he hunkered down. Cowering. She was really serious, and took notes...

...enter a date. Objectives: (What was the purpose of this lab? What did you expect to find?) The purpose of this lab is to determine what components of the Raspberry Pi might be missing to make a fully operational device. Results: (What did you find?) Since I already had a previous functional Raspberry Pi device I have all the parts needed such as the AC adapter, an SD card loaded with an OS, HDMI cable, etc. Conclusions: (What does this mean? How can this be used? What implications can I draw from this?) If parts were missing I would need to come up with a solution to such as buying or borrowing the parts needed to make it functional device. III. Procedure 1. Using the Internet, threaded discussions, and other sources, identify the main components on the Raspberry PI board. Component A: _Ethernet RJ 45___________ Component B: _HDMI_________________ Component C: _Micro-USB power________ Component D: _Display Serial Interface_ Component E: _Composite Video RCA__ Component F: _2.5 mm audio output___ Component G: _USB 2.0 ports_____ 2.

...Sheila's role in the play An inspector calls. Extracts from this document... Introduction Describe the importance of Sheila's role in the play.-Michael Rowell At the beginning Sheila was not one of the main characters as Birling takes centre stage. Setting on the play seemed revolved around the characters. The older furniture in the living room matched the aging and upper class type that is Birling. During the play Sheila is the only concerned and totally serious character to the situation. There are some well linked scenes in the play setting a mood for Sheila with the marriage, her husband to be Gerald. The pink light in the house makes Shila feel more relaxed as the set looks almost like a love scene. During the play, Sheila is the main link between the Inspector and the Audience. She constantly changes and develops as the Story is told. ...read more. Middle This sudden chance in language implicates how her attitude in the play is changing to a more mean and ruthless in her anguish towards their casual behaviour. The Inspector is a Catalyst in the character and emotions of Sheila, on impact hitting the house hold with shame. She is the most interested of people asking everyone what exactly they did, just like a second inspector who wants to put together the whole picture for the audience. Other example of this role is like when she spoke to Gerald. "What about this girl?" Her role is to be the girl that needs to know everything and gets the most upset with the strong concerns...

...Social Distance The Missing Link in the Loop of Movies, Destination Image, and Tourist Behavior? Journal of Travel Research Volume 47 Number 4 May 2009 494-507 © 2009 SAGE Publications 10.1177/0047287508326534 http://jtr.sagepub.com hosted at http://online.sagepub.com Asli D. A. Tasci The Hong Kong Polytechnic University Visual information, especially delivered through movies, is believed to have an influence on destination image and consumer behavior. Based on the theory that knowledge about an object might cause feelings toward the object, visual information through movies can be assumed to affect not only destination image but also social distance between groups and, thus, to affect tourist behavior regarding the destination. With a quasi-experimental design, this study investigates if there is a relationship between visual information from movies and consumer-behavior variables, including destination image, destination desirability, visit intention, and social distance, taking Turkey as a case in point and a promotional movie as the stimuli. Results provide partial support for potential impact of movies on the consumer-behavior variables included in this study. Implications and future research suggestions are provided. Keywords: A destination image; visual information; social distance; stereotypical image; Turkey mong the several factors that impact destination image, the influential role of information provided by the visual media, such as movies, has been empirically...

...GS1145 Lab 4.2 J. Hawkins J. Haas I think that social networks and E-Portfolio can’t be used together. The rezone I think this is that most social networks are just used for mindless fun. They are not used for the work place and are now use to post picture, and other thing that would distract from the assignment. They can be used for professional peruses but over all are not used in that way. I find that while one could out their resume on Facebook that would be a bad idea. E-Portfolios are used as a way to get a job presenting its self as a professional person able to work hard at the job. I think that if it was hooked up to a Facebook page of the person this would hurt them more than help them. The reason being that if you see that I spend 18 hours on Facebook I would lose to someone who isn’t on Facebook. This shows that linking the two would hurt most people more than help them. Finally I still think that the two can’t be linked however, I will say that given extreme conditions they can work together. For most of the world that use Social media to escape and vent their feeling this will cause a problem. Maybe one day the two will become one but for now they stay two different things. I think that they will never work as well as stated in the article. Two reasons are that one is a timewaster and most people will ignore it, and the other is to be taken 100% serenely. To review I think that the E-Portfolio is just too professional to mix with something like Facebook...
