...The Update Do you believe that the winners should take it all? In this paper I will discuss the existing plan, the proposed plan, how to score the two of the processes, and the ethical issues regarding an open system. As the report states, “Who could complain when there is actually merit money for pay raises” (Miller, 2009, p.1). During the deans meeting, Jeff Foreman, was one of the leads in discussing handling salary increases differently in the future. This would give fewer people more money rather than distributing pay increases to more faculty members as had been the case in the most recent years. A lot of the chairs had come up with different options, but Jeff Foreman said that “Chairs needed to carefully consider because so many factors were involved” (Miller, 2009, p.1). The dean wanted the recommendations of the chairs within forty eight hours so there wasn’t much time. They needed to think and think fast. The existing plan wasn’t getting the job done in the most effective way. The existing plan that they had was party entitlement that split pay up between most of the faculty. This existing plan that they currently had was divided into thirds. The top third received two thirds of the money, the second third received one third, and the last third received nothing at all. The chairs felt that the winner should take all. They felt that the employees that succeed the most should be rewarded in the greatest possible way. The new proposal would take away from the middle...

...Today Iran’s government is an Islamic theocracy. On the surface, the U.S. and Iranian governments have much in common: a president who is popularly elected, a legislature, and a powerful judiciary. The main difference in Iran’s government is that one man, the Supreme Leader, (who today is Ayatollah Ali Khamenei) uses ideological and political control over a system dominated by clergy who back every major function of the state. The president is the 2nd highest-ranking authority, who is responsible for setting the country's economic policies. Iran’s government also includes a Parliament, which is a unicameral legislative body that drafts legislation, ratifies international treaties, and approves the country's budget. There’s also The Assembly of Experts, which consists of 86 educated clerics who elect the Supreme Leader from within their own ranks and periodically reconfirm him. The Council of Guardians has the authority to interpret the constitution and determine if the laws passed by Parliament are in line with sharia, Islamic law (which means they have veto power over Parliament). Additionally, there is an Expediency Council (currently headed by Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani) who serves as an advisory body to the Supreme Leader, making it one of the most powerful governing bodies in the country. The US and Islam’s governments had numerous issues with each other in the past, and now they are gradually trying to improve their relations. The United States had long-standing concerns...

...7.1 REVOLUTION Apple’s iPhone is an indirect result of the Industrial Revolution and tool for what I refer to as the Creative Revolution. The technology and production methods so common in the world today are all relatives of the original Industrial Revolution that was born in Europe. Creativity and innovation are key components in successful business and needed to solve many of our world’s problems. Tools for communicating ideas are important and can encourage new innovation from those who may not have otherwise been involved. The innovation that produced new technology two hundred years ago is still evident today in the amazing applications of technology brought to much of the planet’s population in the form of Rummler 2 personal technology devices we take for granted. As a tool for creativity, an iPhone offers many ways for the users to express themselves. If we only consider the ability to capture both still and moving images this creates the ability for anyone, anywhere to capture something and broadcast it out to multitudes of others for viewing, commenting and sharing. This outlet of personal expression offer someone who has never explored creativity an brand new understanding of their own abilities as well as a forum in which to develop them. In the past most of us did not make it out of kindergarten or first grade without feeling we were not one of the few and talented “artists” in class. In considering the value of supporting creativity, it is common...

...The World Wide Web is how people access and connect to real time virtual information and other people. This process is achieved when a searcher uses a search engine to query keywords or phrases, with a web-oriented program that retrieves the desired results from the Internet. The search engine use automated software programs called cookies, spiders, or crawlers that pull matching information from millions of sites and databases. The results are retrieved by mathematical /algorithms formulas, that index any of the keywords the user list in the web browser. The results are ranked in the order of importance. Companies like Goggle, and Microsoft has turned the web searching services into a leading global industry. Notably, Microsoft has dominated the software and hardware technology industry with award winning products and services since 197 According to Mr. Ballmer “If we don’t get what the customer really wants, we keep going. It took us three attempts to get Windows right. And if we had given up after the first attempt, or second attempt, Microsoft wouldn’t look anything like it does today (Wharton, 2007)”. As a result of this, Mr. Ballmer is setting the tone of being patient, while being persistent with his long-term focuses. Steve Ballmer believes that a good leader must be adaptive to whatever the situation the business is facing. The most valuable leadership skill is listening to people talk about their experiences. But most importantly anyone who wants to be a leader, must...

...(Originally in APA Format) Installation and Training Documentation Installing windows is a fairly straightforward process that requires simple instruction from the installation wizard. We need, however, an idea for the specific use of the system and how the OS will be used. So on top of an installation of the OS there needs to be an implementation of a filing system that is organized and easy to use. Also a user based system to ensure that those with the proper permissions can make the necessary changes and those without expertise cannot make significant changes and potentially ruin the system. First we need to install windows. When we insert the CD be sure to boot from the CD. The following screen should appear, prompting you if you wish to install Windows 7. Click Install now. Next a screen will show what is currently being installed. The computer will restart a few times as different sections are installed. When the installation is complete it changing screens prompting you for more information. This screen is asking for a name for the Primary User which will be defaulted as the Admin and also a name for the system itself. In this case this will be the first computer to have Windows installed on it at the ABC Hospital, so to be able to recognize it on the network it will be given a easy to remember name so you know exactly which system you are working with. ...

...problems during installation. An understanding of the configuration options will also help to ensure that you have properly configured your system. Here are some of the most important things you should take into consideration when planning for your Windows 7 installation: * Check System Requirements * Check Hardware and Software Compatibility * Determine Disk Partitioning Options * Complete a Pre-Installation Checklist Microsoft states the minimum recommended specs for Windows 7: * 1 GHz 32-bit or 64-bit processor * 1 GB of system memory * 16 GB of available disk space * Support for DirectX 9 graphics with 128 MB memory (to enable the Aero theme) * DVD-R/W Drive * Internet access (to activate and get updates) 32-bit or 64-bit Version? You need to decide whether to install the 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows 7. The Windows 7 installation disc package includes both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 7. Basically, the 64-bit version of Windows handles large amounts of random access memory (RAM) more effectively than a 32-bit system. So if you plan on using Windows 7 on a computer with more than 3 GB or RAM, I would strongly suggest to use the 64-bit version. Most programs designed for the 32-bit version of Windows will work on the 64-bit version of Windows, and if they don't, you can...

Limitation of a computer 1. The computer can only perform the tasks you ask it to. You cannot expect a computer to be smarter than the person running it you have to tell the computer what tasks you want it to do. Yes, there are processes in the background, but these run base on present info built into the operating system. 2. A computer cannot generate info by itself. You have to give the computer operation and even new instructions from time to time. Updates for examples are a way to get info to your computer to help streamline its functionality, but you still have to feed it that info by having an internet connection and automatic updates. 3. If you give the computer wrong data it is going to give you wrong information. The computer can only work with what you give it. It’s just like giving directions to someone. If you tell someone go right when they should have gone left, you are giving them the wrong information and they will not be able to find you. 4. Computer is unable to correct wrong instructions.
