Playing Music From Your iPod®
Apple® uses a proprietary naming scheme and because of this the media center is unable to display the original names for the folders and files as they are in your iPod. The media center instead reassigns new names for the folders and files, but only while in use with the media center. The original file information is preserved in your iPod. You can view the original file information when you play a file where the screen will display the metadata.

Note: The media center does not support playback of protected premium content such as movies or music from the iTunes® Store, Cinema Now, Movielink®, Amazon Unbox™, and Vongo®.

To use your iPod with the media center, simply plug your iPod in to the USB port and navigate through the interface menu.

Note: The media center only supports USB mass storage mode. iPod Touch is not a USB mass storage device and is therefore not supported.

System Maintenance
The system software of your media center can be upgraded to the latest release, which can improve support for media file playback and includes bug fixes and product enhancements. To ensure that you receive the latest update, we recommend registering your product at http://register.wdc.com. This chapter describes how to upgrade the system firmware and perform simple troubleshooting. If you encounter an error message, refer to the “Common Error Messages” on page 150 for possible corrective action. Solutions to more serious problems may require contacting your dealer or an authorized service center for assistance. For more information, refer to “WD Service and Support” on page 2.

System Firmware Upgrade
Firmware is an important set of instructions that tells your media center how to operate, what the interactive screens look like, and how to do what you tell it to do. Upgrading the firmware is important because WD is always developing newer, faster, and more efficient ways of doing things that your media center needs to know.

Important: Make sure the media center’s AC power adapter remains connected during the firmware update. A power disruption during the update process can corrupt the system firmware. Also, make sure that you do not unplug the USB storage device if doing a manual update.

Automatic
The New Firmware menu appears in the media center’s Home screen when updated firmware becomes available, providing the option to automatically upgrade the firmware. To update the firmware automatically: 1. Press HOME, then select the New Firmware menu. Press OK.

“What Is "Business Ethics"?” Peter F. Drucker

...“What is "business ethics"?” Peter F. Drucker Drucker’s work takes a look at what is business ethics and what is not business ethics as it pertains to some of the major approaches taken by philosophers throughout time. No matter what the place in time the code of ethics as it pertains to Western tradition is based solely on one principle. That principle is “There is only one code of ethics, that of individual behavior, for prince and pauper, for rich and poor, for the mighty and the meek alike.” Drucker P. F. (1981). Given this principle what is business ethics or even ethics at all with given the implications that behavior which is neither immoral nor illegal for an individual would be immoral or illegal if committed by business? There seems to be a lack of compatibility with what ethics is supposed to be and business ethics. For example a person handing his money over to a mugger threatening physical harm isn’t considered unethical although the mugger is a criminal but in the business world paying off union racketeers to prevent disruption is considered to be unethical practice. The confusion around ethics in general and business ethics continues when we start looking at other business systems outside of the United States. Take for example the Japanese and German who consider the appointing of a counselor who was previously a distinguished civil servant based on the recommendation of his colleagues is essential to the public interest. However, if this practice were to...

Roots of polynomial functions 2 2 3 6 7 www.mathcentre.ac.uk 1 c mathcentre 2009 1. Introduction A polynomial function is a function such as a quadratic, a cubic, a quartic, and so on, involving only non-negative integer powers of x. We can give a general defintion of a polynomial, and define its degree. 2. What is a polynomial? A polynomial of degree n is a function of the form f (x) = an xn + an−1 xn−1 + . . . + a2 x2 + a1 x + a0 where the a’s are real numbers (sometimes called the coefficients of the polynomial). Although this general formula might look quite complicated, particular examples are much simpler. For example, f (x) = 4x3 − 3x2 + 2 is a polynomial of degree 3, as 3 is the highest power of x in the formula. This is called a cubic polynomial, or just a cubic. And f (x) = x7 − 4x5 + 1 is a polynomial of degree 7, as 7 is the highest power of x. Notice here that we don’t need every power of x up to 7: we need to know only the highest power of x to find out the...

T or F: Critical thinking involves attacking other people. F 4. T or F: Whether a passage contains an argument depends on how long it is. F 5. T or F: When a claim has been questioned, an issue has been raised. T 6. Do all arguments have premises? Yes 7. Do all arguments have conclusions? Yes 8. T or F: If it is impossible for the premises of an argument to be true without the conclusion also being true the argument is deductively valid. T 9. T or F: The more support the premises of an argument provide for its conclusion, the stronger the argument. If the premises being true means that probably the conclusion is true, the argument is inductively strong. T 10. Can a conclusion be implied, or must it always be explicitly stated? IT CAN BE IMPLIED. 11. Explain the connection between an argument and an issue. ISSUE IS THE SUBJECT THAT TWO PEOPLE CAN HAVE AN ARGUMENT. 12. T or F: “Miller Lite tastes great” is a value judgment.

...introduce you to art history as an academic discipline. It distinguishes the aims and methods o f art history from related disciplines like anthropology and aesthetics. It also attempts to answer two questions that are more complicated than they appear at first glance: What is art? and What is history? what do art historians do? The object of art history Art historians do art. But we don’t make it, we study it. We try to understand what artists are expressing in their work, and what viewers perceive in it. We try to understand why some­ thing was made at the time it was made, how it reflected the world it was made in, and how it affected that world. We talk about individual artists and their goals and intentions, but also about patrons (the people who commission artworks), viewers, and the kinds o f institutions, places, and social groups in which art is made and circulates—whether that’s an art school, temple, or government agency. What is “art”? “Art” is one o f those words that people use all the time but that is hard to define. All sorts o f cultural and political val­ ues determine what gets included or not included under this term, which makes it difficult for people to agree on precisely what art is. However, it’s important to make the attempt as a first step in discussing what art history, as a discipline, actu­ ally does. This process o f definition is complicated for two reasons:...

...calculus, but a mathematics course about what calculus is. How do derivatives depend on limits? Just how are derivatives supposed to depend on limits? A derivative is supposed to be the rate of change of a function at an instant, what we’ll call “instantaneous rate of change.” On the face of it, that makes no sense at all, since an instant is a point in time, and nothing changes at a point in time. You need a time interval for anything to change. Start with a function y = f (x). To help us understand, let’s take x to be time, measured in some convenient time unit, and let’s take y = f (x) to be the distance travelled at time x, measured in some convenient distance unit. Then the derivative is what we know as velocity. The velocity doesn’t have to be constant, but may change over time. It might slowly at first with a small velocity, and later quickly with a large velocity, or vice versa. We’re trying to determine how to find the velocity f (x) when we know the distance f (x). Finding the derivative f (x) when you know f (x) is called differentiation. Average rates of change and slopes of secant lines. We can fairly easily compute the average rate of change, that is, the average velocity, over an interval. (b,f (b)) q (a,f (a)) q y = f (x) a b Suppose we take the time interval [a, b] which starts at time x = a and ends at time x = b. We can compute the distance travelled over that interval as the difference f (b) − f (a). But the length of the time interval...

...as follows, y = f (x) this means y is related to x under the rule f . Also we say that the value of y depends on the value of x. This relation y = f (x) is called as a function if 1) the rule f assigns a single x value to single y value or 2) assigns multiple x values to single y value. 2 2.1 Shape of function When f (x) = ax + b Suppose that the function is given as follows. y = f (x) = ax + b ´ 1) Slope: f (x) = a and Y −intercept: b Y − axis is b.. b −a 2) Intersection with Y − axis: This is the case when x = 0. So from f (0) = b, the Intersection with 3) Intersection with X − axis: This is the case when y = 0. So the intersection with X − axis is from ax + b = 0. Example Suppose y = f (x) = ax + b. Draw this function in following each case. 1) When a > 0, b > 0 2) When a > 0, b < 0 3) When a < 0, b > 0 4) When a < 0, b < 0 Now suppose you want to find the linear function that passes through following two points,. x = (a, b) and y = (c, d). Then the linear function is defined as follows. ¶ µ b−d (x − a) + b f (x) = a−c µ ¶ b−d = (x − c) + d a−c ´ ³ ´ ³ b−d b−d So from f (x) = a−c (x − a) + b or f (x) = a−c (x − c) + d, ¶ (bc − ad) b−d x+ f (x) = a−c (c − a) | {z } | {z } µ 1 Here, the first term is the slope and the second term is Y-intercept.
