Introduction The computer laboratory has been a very important facility for institution and organizations alike. As I have had a chance to work in this facility I will explore the various responsibilities and the various sections of the computer laboratory which is typical of any computer laboratory. The sections are categorized according to the work that is done by the technicians in these various sections. User account management  1. The user account management section is concerned with managing the various users who have been created in the system. One of the responsibilities of staff working in this area includes creating and managing accounts of the current users of the system. Since most of the computer laboratories are found in learning institutions, they manage the students who are currently in the institution or manage accounts of the alumni.  2. They are also tasked with unlocking accounts which has already been blocked due a breach in the security policy in the institution. This will depend on the discretion of the staff to look into it that the rules that have been set in the system are followed dully.  3. They manage passwords for the uses. With computer fraud on the increase, there are many cases where computer fraud has been done due to the fact that users have carelessly left the passwords. The laboratory staffs in this section also have the mandate of making sure that the passwords are in safe custody. One of the key elements that networks still lack is the framework/infrastructure that we will use to manage the network. For this to be achieved there is need to have in place at least one management workstation, one tftp servers, and at least one syslog servers. This is the work of the staff in this section to manage these servers. It is evident that the organization and the institution also need to have password management servers that will be used to manage the passwords that will be used for authentication purposes. These servers will be used to manage the security of the organization. The staff will be required to manage the authenticity of this (Tichy, & McGill, 2003). Printing management  1. With large networks being installed, there is a high increase in network prin
Teaching is a very difficult process where positive results can be achieved only with the help of the excellent work of a teacher and the desire of children to study and obtain new knowledge. That is why it becomes obvious that it is very important to organize the teaching process taking into account these facts. It is vital for a teacher to be able to create his own approach to the organization of a lesson, basing on existing effective models and trying to make children work hard and get joy from the process of studying. It is very important for a teacher to arouse the desire to study among his pupils. It is obvious that motivation plays a great role in the teaching process as it leads to increased effort and energy (The importance of motivation in an educational environment, n.d.). Motivated pupils go to school with great pleasure, trying to obtain new knowledge, and they willingly become involved in the process of study. At the same time, stress, low motivation, and bad and depressing atmosphere on lessons repel pupils from the school, making them unwilling to study. Pupils, who are unhappy at school cannot work with maximum performance, being frustrated and stressed (Building an Encouraging Classroom, 2013). That is why the first task of any teacher is to create a special construct for his lessons to be interesting and motivating pupils to study. With this in mind, it is possible to recommend a teacher to give consideration to the idea of encouraging the classroom. The main idea of this theory is that any child or his parents in this classroom should feel that they are supported and cared for. Of course, it is a teachers task to create such a kind of atmosphere. However, it can result in a great increase in motivation and pupils desire to go to school under any conditions, even if they are ill (Building an Encouraging Classroom, 2013). The attractiveness of this classroom for pupils can be explained by the fact that teachers should take into account different peculiarities of all children and guarantee fulfillment of their main needs, at the same time trying to give them something new. With this in mind, based on this theory, it is possible to create some special construct for discipline and teaching process, on the whole, taking into account different peculiarities of children. First of all, it deals with questions of discipline. There is no use denying the fact that the behavior of children depends on their age. That is why it is absolutely vital to take into account the age peculiarities of pupils. This statement can be easily supported by an example. It is very difficult for the youngest pupils to restrain natural for their age activity. It is peculiar for children of their age to be very flexible and mobile. It is not surprising that it is very difficult for them to sit quietly during the whole lesson.
There is an assumption that a fairy-tale reflects cultural trends in community development that change across time. The do not only make shifts to social environment, but also tap into consciousness of individuals, particularly to that of children who are obsessed with the plotlines and magic that story’s heroes work. At this point, there is a serious concern about the positive impact that Disney’s Cinderella has on little girls’ understanding of what qualities a woman should possess. It is also the problem with the emerging stereotypes among children who explore possibilities to become wealthy people. Girls’ overwhelmed interest in Cinderella’s adventure make them more vulnerable to reality. Perceiving them as princesses, they strive to wear pink dresses and tiaras believing that these things are inherent components of an authentic princess. Disney’s image of a poor girl who has managed to marry a handsome prince and liberate herself from cruel and evil stepmother distorts the veritable state of affairs. In reality, stepmothers are not necessarily evil and girls do not always marry princes. After all, wearing pink and behaving pretentiously does not mean to be a princess. Orenstein states that new paradigms of femininity differ significantly from those presented in Disney’s stories and, therefore, mothers should pay attention to their daughters’ upbringing. Similar concerns are expressed in Yolen’s discussions of fairy-tales and Disney’s Cinderella, which is a distorted variant of an original version. The current version depicts Cinderella as a poor, helpless, useless, and suffering heroine who is only recognized after revealing her identity to a prince. In fact, such an aspect in retelling the story of a poor girl does not contribute to shaping positively oriented identities among girls since these clichés and stereotypes do not exist in reality.
Sources of Financing Business financing has become a challenge for those aspiring to expand an existing business or start up a business. Among the most viable external funding sources available for the Nicos Canine Hotelbusinessinclude loan capital in the form of bank overdraft or bank loan, engaging external investors and convincing business angels to be part of the establishment. Bank loan/Overdraft Under a bank loan option, the business will be in a position to receive funding that is fixed over a period of time. The loan(s) will attract different interest rates, depending on the type and amount that the business will borrow. Reflectively, bank loans are repaid over a longer period of time and repayment schedules are fixed. Besides the bank loan, the business has the option of acquiring financing through bank overdraft. Basically, bank overdraft is a short term loan. Bank overdrafts are a very flexible source of business financing since they can be used to handle temporary cash flow fluctuations in the business. Besides, bank overdrafts may offer the business a lifeline when it experiences temporary cash flow challenges. Share Capital from Outside Investors Another source of financing available for the business is the use of funds from outside investors such as contributions from family, friends, and interested investors who will be given shares in the company according to their contribution. The fund contributors will be allocated shares in line with the total capital that the company requires for the expansion of the business (Scarborough, 2012). Cash Flow Projections Cash flow projections are critical in estimating the net present value of the business against future projections. This is indicated in the table below. Total revenue (P * Q) = total cost [Variable (C *Q) + fixed cost] Price per unit of service (P) = 110$ Units produced (Q) = to be estimated Total fixed cost = $34,000 (as shown in the table below) Item                Annual costs (000 $) Fixed costs                              Salaries and wages  21,000               Advertising         10,000               Administration      3,000                Total fixed costs   34,000                Financial Projections Before deducting expenses Nicos Canine Hotel.

Introduction Green Computing refers to eco-friendly utilization of computers. Green computing is quickly gaining popularity in various organizations and it should not only be seen as an environmental issue, but as a way of making good use of electronic gadgets. The primary goal of green computing is to mitigate the use of harmful resources. Second, it is concerned with efficient utilization of energy in the entire lifetime of electronic equipment. Third, it focuses on encouraging reprocessing of obsolete products and industrial spin-offs. Specifically, green computing ensures that utilization of Information Technology does not harm the environment. Aim of the Research Majority of students and other individuals that have embraced computer technology in Botswana are aware of its benefits, but they are oblivious of its negative consequences. It is against this background this research endeavors to find out the extent to which Botho College community has integrated green strategy into their activities. Research Methodology In conducting this research, a questionnaire was prepared and circulated to both the learners and tutors at Botho Institute. The learners who participated in the survey answered the questions during lecturers. The respondents pursued various disciplines that ranged from IT to accounts. 110 respondents completed the questionnaires. Sampling methodology was applied in assessing the respondents at Botho College. The participants had varied computer competency and experiences. The feedback form was divided into section A and B. Section A had vocabulary quiz that was meant to gauge the extent to which computer users understood green computing. The respondents were asked ten questions that focused on the basic components of eco-friendly computing. Section B of the questionnaire focused on assessing how the respondents handle computers. Questions in this section were scenario-based. For instance, the respondents were asked to explain what they do immediately after accomplishing their computer tasks. Section B was simply examining the energy saving skills of the respondents, especially, when they use electronic appliances. Study Outcome In general, the survey at Botho College revealed that most participants had little or no information regarding green computing. 40.8 percent of the particip
New to Health Care What do you already know about technology in health care? Over the centuries, technology in health care has modified the face of healthcare. The health sector has at all times merged the best and cleverest in communities to assist those requiring medical attention. From curing cancer and handling heart diseases to delivering babies, health care providers have developed technology and advanced practices. The challenges that modern doctors encounter encompass a conked out medical system and unyielding insurance firms. However, doctors have been able to deal with these challenges to offer first-rate patient care and triumphant new practices. With the improvement of biomedical research, doctors will be better placed in dealing with medical issues in a cost-effective manner. There are different technologies in health care that are transforming the health sector. Some of these technologies include electronic medical records (EMR), evidence-based guidelines and population science just to mention a few (Williams, & Boren, 2008, pp. 139-140). This paper will focus on electronic medical records as a technology in health care with the use of an article applicable in this field and that addresses the topic on electronic medical records. Why did you choose this article? I chose this article as it is a thorough account of the real execution of an EMR system in healthcare. Non-technological and available, this article provides contemporary, innovative study in a rising field thus turning out to be a vital reading for everyone engaged in executing technology in health care. This entails doctors, managers and all stakeholders that require gaining from earlier experience. Moreover, this article is critical for information technology execution teams in addition to providers o
Introduction and background Freedom of movement is important to the economic sector of any country because it ensures the movement of goods and services from one point to another. The freedom of movement of humans is also crucial to the success of business transactions because humans are the operational entities of all business transactions. Movable goods and services are usually more advantageous than immobile ones as movable goods can access distant markets while immobile ones cannot (Lall, 2000). Freedom of movement of goods and services, business people, competitors, and consumers enhances connectivity and the sharing of ideas in the business sector (Cowell, 2006). Links that include transport, distribution, advertisement, and marketing procedures are improved by the freedom of movement. This study will focus on assessing the reliability of the rules governing the movement of goods and intellectual property and the significant impact of the rules in safeguarding the interests of key stakeholders (Stewart, 2010). Intellectual property by definition refers to innovation, creativity, and artistic quality of symbols, names, and designs employed in commerce. Intellectual property can be grouped into industrial and copyright property. Industrial property involves patents, designs, source indicators, and trademarks (Reading, 2005). Copyright property involves literature and art. It focuses on music, drama, photography, novelty, architectural and sculptural features. The rights that are linked to copyright property involve the freedom of performing artists, producers, and broadcasters of both television and radio stations (De Wit & Meyer, 2010). A big difference exists between the freedom of movement of goods and services. The freedom of movement of goods refers to a situation in which the market is not interfered with through restrictions in cases of transport, marketing, and consumer interactions (Whigham,2007). The products or services can move from one link of a chain to the next with minimal barriers involved. Free goods refer to products imported without being subjected to duty payment (Armson & Ison, 2003). They are expected to be free from taxation and disengaged from legal and economic changes. Free movement of goods involves both the “free” and the taxed goods. Intellectual property also involves the creation and innovation of indigenous societies. Intellectual property can be termed as a non-environmental mechanism that is a derivative of the business culture in the society (Plunkett, 2008). The history of intellectual property and free movement of goods dates back to 500 B.C.E. Bruce Bugbee evaluated intellectual property by investigating 3 references. The first case involved Vitruvius who claimed to have discovered intellectual property theft in a literary performance in Alexandria (Moeller, 2007). Acting as a judge in a given property case, the judge, Vitruvius, revealed the existence of a poet who was an impostor who had come for a performance with someone else’s work. The culprit was convicted and sentenced to pr
Leonardo da Vinci was born in 1452 to a lawyer father and a peasant mother. The world mostly recognizes Leonardo as a painter, scientist, and inventor, yet he also contributed significantly to the development of mathematics during the renaissance period, particularly in the field of Geometry. Leonardo da Vinci, by the societal dictates of the time, was an illegitimate child. Although his father had a respectable position in society, as a lawyer, the fact that he had not married Leonardo’s mother by the time he got her pregnant rendered Leonardo an illegitimate child. This status shaped his life trajectory, at first in a manner that seemed disadvantageous for the young Leonardo, but his status as an illegitimate child left him with much more relative freedom for exploration (O’Connor 13). As an illegitimate child, he was destined to miss university and any form of formal higher education, and thus his mother sent him to the city of Florence to train as an apprentice painter. This led to Leonardo’s amazing rise to become one of the world’s most talented minds – a veritable genius. Because his parents largely left him to his own devices as he grew up, he developed a keen interest in nature and always attempted to satisfy this interest at any cost. As a child, Leonardo was constantly moving homes; occasionally living with his uncle in his early childhood before proceeding to live with his grandparents. He also lived for a short while with his mother, however when she re-married he went to live briefly with his father, who remarried several times. Some scholars believe that Leonardo’s paintings and other works projected his status as an illegitimate child; for instance, Capps states that he never included Jesus’ father Joseph in any of his paintings as a reflection of his sense of loss at never enjoying his father’s immaterial and material possessions (565). Out of ten sons, he was the only one who did not inherit anything from his father. Florence was the perfect city to satisfy the young Leonardo’s mind. He went on to establish himself as a master painter, scientist, mathematician, and inventor in this city. Later, historical events also coincided to make Florence one of the most intellectually vibrant cities of the Renaissance period. When the Ottoman Turks attacked and conquered the city of Constantinople in 1453, many of the scholars in the city fled to the cities of Italy for protection and asylum. They also sought to begin a new life away from the constant threats of war wrought by the Ottoman Turks (Romei 40). These scholars brought with them much of the academic material that they could salvage, or the ones, in which they had an interest. This way, Greek manuscripts on Leonardo’s favorite mathematical subject, and the one in which he bequeathed the most ideas to succeeding generations – Geometry – found their way to Florence. In a related historical endeavor, Johannes Guttenberg’s invention of the printing press ensured that academic manuscripts, which only privileged few in s
Challenge Although spirituality is increasingly gaining currency as an integral component of adult education and adult development theory (Fenwick & English, 2004; Zinn, 1997), scholars are yet to develop a conclusive framework that could engage spirituality in transforming adult learners to become agents of social change in their communities (Bean, 2000; Tisdell, 2000). Indeed, many adult educators have found that teaching adult learners for social change is increasingly difficult as it requires a willingness to deal with conflict, opposition, and strong emotions as the adult populations engage in critical dialogue with the view to initiating social action to transform communities (Tisdell, 2000). Because of this challenge, there arises a need to come up with innovative ways through which adult educators can engage spiritual dimensions while working with communities to initiate social change and development. Solution Extant literature demonstrates that spirituality has a critical role to play in an individual’s creation of the ultimate meaning of life, as well as in developing a sense of wholeness and the more authentic self (Tisdell, 2008). Additionally, it is conceivable that spirituality can be used in adult learning not only to influence one’s beliefs and behaviors (Fenwick & English, 2004) but also to develop self-image and actuate a deep structure of internalized relationships with emotionally significant others (Olson, 2011). More importantly, in social change contexts, spirituality can be used to influence the attitudes of learners by creating and demonstrating an awareness that they are bound by something greater than their pursuits, hence the need to work together as human beings are connected to all of creation (Milacci, 2006). These variables can be used to develop an innovative framework through which adult educators can engage spiritual dimensions as they work with community members to spur social action and achieve social change. As already mentioned, adult educators teaching adult learners for social change find it increasingly difficult due to conflict, resistance, and strong emotions as community members attempt to come together to initiate social action (Tisdell, 2000). Extant literature demonstrates that much of the conflict and/or resistance in such planned changes come from socio-cultural, political, religious, and economic barriers experienced at the community level (Zinn, 1997), hence adult educators and other social activists must attempt to embrace a holistic approach in solving these issues by not only targeting their instructions at the creation of meaning out of life experiences and employing proactive strategies to change the beliefs and behaviors of community members, but also underscoring the principle that all human beings of the world should have equal “opportunity to develop socially, morally, and politically, and to benefit economically form the earth’s bounty” (Bean, 2000 p. 67). This way, the community members, presumed in thi
