...Larry Ellison is the founder and CEO of the enterprise software company Oracle Corporation. He is also a well-known American billionaire and philanthropist. Lawrence Joseph Ellison, better known as Larry Ellison, was born in New York City on August 17, 1944 to a young unwed Jewish mother. In order to provide her son with a better upbringing, Ellison's mother gave him to Lillian Spellman Ellison and Louis Ellison, her aunt and uncle in Chicago. They formally adopted Ellison when he was only nine months old. | Lawrence was raised in a two-bedroom apartment on the city's South Side. As a boy, Larry Ellison showed an independent, rebellious streak and often clashed with his adoptive father. From an early age, he showed a strong aptitude for math and science, and was named science student of the year at the University of Illinois. During the final exams in his second year, Larry Ellison's adoptive mother died, and he dropped out of school. He enrolled at the University of Chicago the following fall, but dropped out again after the first semester. His adoptive father was now convinced that Larry would never make anything of himself, but the seemingly aimless young man had already learned the rudiments of computer programming in Chicago. He took this skill with him to Berkeley, California, arriving with just enough money for fast food and a few tanks of gas. For the next eight years, Ellison bounced from job to job, working as a technician for Fireman's Fund and Wells Fargo bank...

...Andrenekia Milhouse September 10, 2015 System Analysis and Design The town of Eden Bay owns and maintains a fleet of vehicles. You are a systems analyst reporting to Dawn, the town’s IT manager. Background Eden Bay is a medium-sized municipality. The town has grown rapidly, and so has the demand for town services. Eden Bay currently owns 90 vehicles, which the town’s equipment department maintains. The fleet includes police cars, sanitation trucks, fire trucks, and other vehicles assigned to town employees. The maintenance budget has risen sharply in recent years, and people are asking whether the town should continue to perform its own maintenance or outsource it to private firms. This morning, Dawn called you into her office to discuss the situation. A summary of her comments follows: Dawn (IT manager): When I came here two years ago, I was told that Eden Bay had a computerized information system for vehicle maintenance. What I found was a spreadsheet designed by a part-time employee as a quick answer to a complex problem. It’s probably better than no system at all, but what we really need is a new information system to meet our current and future needs. I want to develop a proposal for a new system. For now, let’s call it RAVE, which stands for Repair Analysis for Vehicular Equipment. I met with the town manager, the equipment department, and several maintenance employees to understand their needs and concerns. I want you to start by reading the interview summaries...

...The Scarlet Letter Study Guide Published in 1850, The Scarlet Letter is considered Nathaniel Hawthorne's most famous novel--and the first quintessentially American novel in style, theme, and language. Set in seventeenth-century Puritan Massachusetts, the novel centers around the travails of Hester Prynne, who gives birth to a daughter Pearl after an adulterous affair. Hawthorne's novel is concerned with the effects of the affair rather than the affair itself, using Hester's public shaming as a springboard to explore the lingering taboos of Puritan New England in contemporary society. The Scarlet Letter was an immediate success for a number of reasons. First and foremost, the United States was still a relatively new society, less than one hundred years old at the time of the novel’s publication. Indeed, still tied to Britain in its cultural formation, Hawthorne's novel offered a uniquely American style, language, set of characters, and--most importantly--a uniquely American central dilemma. Besides entertainment, then, Hawthorne's novel had the possibility of goading change, since it addressed a topic that was still relatively controversial, even taboo. Certainly Puritan values had eased somewhat by 1850, but not enough to make the novel completely welcome. It was to some degree a career-threatening decision to center his novel around an adulterous affair (but compare the plot of Fielding's Tom Jones). But Hawthorne was not concerned with a prurient affair here, though the novel’s...

...ANCIENT NEAR EASTERN THOUGHT AND THE OLD TESTAMENT BOOK SUMMARY by JOE VALENTI Old Testament Introduction OBST 590 B06 Dr. Randy Haney March 1, 2013 TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER 1 1 CHAPTER 2 2 CHAPTER 3 3 CHAPTER 4 5 CHAPTER 5 7 CHAPTER 6 9 CHAPTER 7 11 CHAPTER 8 12 CHAPTER 9 14 CHAPTER 10 15 CHAPTER 11 17 CHAPTER 12 19 CHAPTER 13 20 CHAPTER 14 22 POSTSCRIPT 23 WORKS CITED i CHAPTER 1 The opening chapter begins by orienting the reader to the idea of "comparative study," or the area of study that strives to understand things within their broader cultural context. In the case of this book, the goal is to understand the Old Testament within the context of the Ancient Near Eastern milieu. Walton explains that over the years there has been much debate on the issue of comparative study and the way in which it is to be exercised. Scholars, always biased by their presuppositions, tend to enter the argument negating the importance of the Old Testament on the one side, or defending the inerrancy of Scripture so vehemently that the cultural context is lost. Walton poses a better way, namely, accepting the study of the Ancient Near Eastern cultures as important and academic in their own right while attempting to comprehend the Old Testament in light of what modern scholarship is learning about the ancient world...

...Старик Энтони Рокволл, удалившийся от дел фабрикант и владелец патента на мыло "Эврика", выглянул из окна библиотеки в своем особняке на Пятой авеню и ухмыльнулся. Его сосед справа, аристократ и клубмен Дж. ван Шуйлайт Саффолк-Джонс, садился в ожидавшую его машину, презрительно воротя нос от мыльного палаццо, фасад которого украшала скульптура в стиле итальянского Возрождения. - Ведь просто старое чучело банкрота, а сколько спеси! - заметил бывший мыльный король. - Берег бы лучше свое здоровье, замороженный Нессельроде, а не то скоро попадет в Эдемский музей. Вот на будущее лето размалюю весь фасад красными, белыми и синими полосами - погляжу тогда, как он сморщит свой голландский нос. И тут Энтони Рокволл, всю жизнь не одобрявший звонков, подошел к дверям библиотеки и заорал: "Майк!" тем самым голосом, от которого когда-то чуть не лопалось небо над канзасскими прериями. - Скажите моему сыну, чтоб он зашел ко мне перед уходом из дому, - приказал он явившемуся на зов слуге. Когда молодой Рокволл вошел в библиотеку, старик отложил газету и, взглянув на него с выражением добродушной суровости на полном и румяном без морщин лице, одной рукой взъерошил свою седую гриву, а другой загремел ключами в кармане. - Ричард, почем ты платишь за мыло, которым моешься? - спросил Энтони Рокволл. Ричард, всего полгода назад вернувшийся домой из колледжа, слегка удивился. Он еще не вполне постиг своего папашу, который в любую минуту мог выкинуть что-нибудь неожиданное, словно...
