What are Management Tools? Hello. I need to write about identifying, selecting, and applying the appropriate Management Tools within the role of a cultural manager, but I can't find what is actually meant by 'Management Tools'. I've spent many hours researching this online, but I can't find anything specific - such as 'this is an example of a Management Tool' - I know about analysis tools such as SWOT, but what I need to write is about the management tools that managers use within their role as part of their job so they can do a successful job. So please could you give me the benefit of your knowledge/experience and actually give me a specific example of what is defined as a Management Tool so I can go and research it? Thank you very much.

For all IT Management people, have you ever been in a situation like this one? I've been into IT for the last 16 years, since programmer to CTO ( My actual position ). For all that time I'd bosses who either were IT people or were CEOs from an IT company, so all my bosses knew something about IT and I could work on IT projects with them knowing what I was doing. Now, I've been for the last 2 months in a company that is a nonprofit organization, my boss who is the COO has no knowledge regarding IT. Recently I had a long conversation with him ( He made the request to do it ), and told me he saw no good things about my work since I got into the company. I told him that I was searching for OLAP tools for the company ( Since there is no tool to do mining into the DB ), also that I was working with our TIC providers for the new site and deciding which shall be best for 3 developments we have, basically I'm doing my job. Have you been into a similar situation? If so, what did you do in order for your non IT boss to understand what are you doing?

What do you think of this UCAS application personal statement? Understanding cinema and television as the unbounded global media that it is has always intrigued me. Even after watching some of my favourite films I immediately purchase them in script form in an effort to understand why these motion pictures can captivate an entire group of spectators in cinemas and homes across the world. Gaining entry to the course would open up a whole new world of knowledge and information , however, the biggest aspect of the course for me would be the chance to work with and learn from experienced individuals who have worked in an industry in which I hope to one day participate. This Degree would undoubtedly give me the confidence and ability to succeed in this industry and also give me the tools needed to write creatively for film and television, either as an individual or as part of a team. Although I have no previous involvement in this subject and have been absent from full time education for over five years, I do exhibit good learning abilities. This can be shown by my HND in Electronics and in the completion of various training courses and ongoing appraisals I currently undergo, which have ensured I have remained in a learning environment which has taken me to the peak of possibilities available in the field in which I work. I have researched the subject I am applying for thoroughly through the prospectus and on-line information from the Faculty of Arts .Having worked in the west end of Glasgow, I am familiar with the area, the University and the bohemian atmosphere that it creates and have a desire to be involved in this lively area that pulses with a multicultural heartbeat. In my current profession, I work alone as part of a specialist team covering the latest products and also covering most of the central belt of Scotland. Working somewhat autonomously requires great self motivation and reliability which is coterminous with the trust in the individual shown by the management. At school I was involved in various extra curricular activities, but the one I am most proud of was the assisted reading program that endeavoured to help younger students with a learning difficulty by improving their reading on a one to one basis. Over the past few years however, the window for these types of activities has been closed mainly due to the fact that my father suffered a near fatal heart attack. Helping him through the first difficult year of recuperation and rehabilitation was the catalyst needed to prompt me to take advantage of company policy and apply for a years career break in which to travel and reassess some personal goals and ambitions. I am fairly active in any free time that I do have and enjoy various sports including playing football twice a week and cycling three times a week. When it gets to winter I enjoy snowboarding with friends over the weekend. Having done some research I am aware that the university has various clubs and associations and, if I am successful in gaining entry to the course, I will be actively looking to join a winter sports club. I love travelling which gives time to pursue my other hobby of photography. I have visited France a few times which has given me the opportunity to brush up on the little French I know, and once drove across the whole country. I have also visited Holland, Belgium, Greece, the Czech Republic and most recently on my career break spent a few months in Australia.

I dont understand this...Future trends of a lawyer? The emergence of new paradigm providers. New providers with sophisticated project management tools are defining the processes that will enable the use of contract lawyers and the outsourcing of work to other entities. Process knowledge requires that law firms hold debriefings in order to find more effective and efficient ways of delivering legal services. Hourly billing inhibits effective and efficient service. It has three liabilities: it is virtually impossible to simultaneously reduce the legal costs to clients, improve firm profitability, and improve the quality of service (including shorter cycle time, quicker solutions, and predictable fees). What does it mean by "paradigm providers"? Can anyone understand and please explain this as best as they can? thank you Thanks that answer did help me...but what about the first sentence of that paragraph?...I mean, who would these "providers" be?...

Career Direction - Help!? I am currently working as a technical writer who offers some graphical support from time to time. I have knowledge in graphic tools such as Photoshop and Flash. I have a minimal amount of knowledge of Flash Actionscripting (enough to get by with some interactivity besides the usual button-movie control). My aptitude seems to be in writing. My graphics is ok but tends to lean towards what would appeal to kids perhaps. I would like to mix all of these "talents" into one career. Could anyone please point me in the right direction? I am not a people person so please don't ask me to take up management in any form :) Just so, you know, I have completed my basic degree in Economics, a diploma in Journalism and a certificate course in Multimedia. I must point out that I have 8+ years experience and I have worked as graphic artist, instructional designer and technical writer. It's just that now I feel like I want to do something else with these talents and resources.

Does my letter of motivation looks strong enough or does it need any changes? I apply for grad school and have to wrire motivation letter.Can anyone look through it and see if there any grammar mistakes or if the structure is unclear? Director of the Program xx KTH December 18, 2009 Dear Sir or Madam: I have been at my last year of school at American University in Bulgaria, with a major of Business Administration. During my studies majority of the courses were focused on the main challenges and concerns related to the successful global functioning of organizations, critical skills needed to properly start and manage ventures and analytical tools and models used in problem solving. My undergraduate education at American University in Bulgaria has not only given me a certain set of valuable skills but has also helped me to understand my academic strengths and weaknesses and my fields of interest. While taking a course of Marketing I received a deep insight into creating, developing and assessing projects. Besides studying the theory, I had to create a product which would be innovative and successful on global market, evaluating all the advantages of disadvantages in terms of cultural aspects, geographical location, customer demand in particular region and many other crucial factors which help to determine the successful realization of the product. Operational Supply Management was the other useful courses where I acquired the necessary skills to start and manage projects following the key management concept of planning, organizing , leading and controlling. My study abroad experience at Bellarmine University in Louisville, Kentucky has given me additional knowledge in my field and has made my communication skills more effective. Taking such courses as Management Science and Management helped me to understand how important it is for the company to be more innovative and entrepreneurial. I acquired necessary skills of how these invention can properly function, how they can be managed and how they can be realized within specific organization. In addition to that, frequent work in groups for creating a project have built good team work understanding and involvement I believe that possession of such critical skills an effective communication, creativity and collaboration can qualify me as a candidate to your program. I am someone who is able to learn quickly and adapt to new environments and perform under pressure. I love to be challenged, to explore new ideas, I am always eager to learn and engage in several activities, which helps me to manage my time more efficiently and be more productive. Furthermore, studying in American University in Bulgaria gave me sufficient amount of quantitative knowledge and assisted in developing my analytical thinking skills needed to properly analyze and assess innovative projects. After completing the Master`s Programme my goal is to start my career in one of the innovative companies, where I will be able to utilize my practical and theoretical knowledge to attain the prosperity of organization. With education in Entrepreneurship and Innovation Management, I will gain a relevant knowledge of innovation and entrepreneurship combined with strong real world experience that will help me to build my further development as innovation leader and provide with a basis for the start-up of my own business venture . Thank you most sincerely for your time and consideration. I look forward to your positive response. Respectfully yours, xx

Please could you spare 2 min to read this and correct my English mistakes? I want to apply to the European bank but my English writing is an issue! Thanks a lot for your help! My internship in “Natixis” help me to enable the mechanism of money market, besides the reaction of protagonists during critical periods and the several tools used by central banks to take place on this market even non-conventional tools used during this period of confidence crisis, which is significant to work in the DG market team. My university career in both economics and finance has resulted in me having a keen interest for subjects such a macro-economics and monetary policy, furthermore, I’m preparing a thesis on the role and the tools of central banks in controlling the price of financial assets, which is really attractive because this subject is at the border of monetary policy and financial markets. As the European Central Bank (ECB) is an institution of renown in monetary policy I am quite naturally interested in undertaking an internship in this institution and specifically as part of its DG market team. Additionally, the technical and operational environment of the ECB interests me as I have developed a strong academic knowledge in a number of areas including: Porto-folio management, accounting, statistics… These subjects match the requirements needed for the position offered and the internship would enable me to put my academic knowledge to practice and further my experience in these matters.

I'm concerned about "forced" scientology in the workplace? My friend has a job in an office setting that requires every employee to do "course" work once per month. This course work is thru the Ron L. Hubbard College of Administration - Basic Skills for Successful Management. My friend does not understand what these "courses" have to do with her job as they only talk about your personal life and how you deal with it. The books are very juvenile in nature with picture stories but the text in between is very intense. Can a business (private medical practice) require employees to take these courses? And what are an employees rights regarding this? Who do you contact to find out? Many of the employees are uncomfortable, but are hesitant to say anything as some are really involved while others are newer and still questioning things. My friend is concerned about retaliation if she tells them she does not want to take the courses anymore. The practice is very disciplined and runs very efficiently with an Sr and Jr hierarchy. They utilize many of the Hubbard teachings/tools such as CSW (completed staff work forms), dispatches, knowledge reports and STATS....also recently a confidentiality form was distributed that stated if the employee was to breach the confidentiality of the office, then that employee would be expected to pay a certain amount of money for each breach.... Please help?! The last employee to say they did not want to take the courses was labeled a TS (trouble source) and then eventually was fired - with no explanation to anyone in the office, as it is policy to NOT talk about anything other than work related things. In one of the exercises during a course lesson, my friend had to demonstrate affinity with a plastic toy frog and a plastic army man - they were a little confused so the teacher gave her an example....he took the army man and put him face to face with the frog and and said to the frog, "You are bad. Bad, bad, bad. You are Bad." (while the army man hit the frog on the head.) Then made the frog say "I'm sorry, let's be friends." She duplicated exactly as he did and the Teacher gave her excited props for doing so - all the while she has NO IDEA what she did, or what it has to do with work! WTH????

Medical Personal Statement let me down even after I have 3 A's. Can you have a read and make suggestions? Medicine is an ever growing, ever changing field. Doctors and researchers can spend their whole lives trying to find a cure for a disease only to realise that when they have, a new disease takes its place and hence the cycle begins again. This is just one of the many reasons why I believe that medicine is such a unique and distinctive field, because there is no beginning, no end and therefore you never stop learning. In order to gain a realistic insight into the life of a doctor I organised some work experience within a hospital. I worked with different people including surgeons and juniordoctors. I went on ward rounds, sat in an outpatient clinic, and observed live surgery. From all these different angles of medicine I understand that in order to enter such a diverse field you need to be adaptable and flexible in order to meet the demands of such a hectic career. Teamwork was essential throughout the whole week and was a major factor for all the medical staff. When having a conversation with the surgeon I was amazed when he mentioned the prospect of having surgery without making incisions. This illustrates the advancement of medicine; we have gone from making large incisions to keyhole surgery and now to having no incisions. Attending a medical conference at **** University allowed me to enhance my knowledge on what life as a medical student entailed. One to one conversations with doctors, and medical students demonstrated the reality of a career in medicine. From this experience I appreciate that you cannot simply become a doctor and help people. An immense amount of dedication and perseverance is required to reach this stage, however I believe that I have the motivation required to become a useful member of the medical profession. I am a regular volunteer at both the Deaf & Blind Society and *** Hospice. I am often placed in charge of organising activities for the Society. By working here I realised that it is the little things that really make the difference in the patients' lives, and also shows me the reality of the patients and their families who have to cope with a loved one having a terminal illness. Having to cope in high pressure situations such as these has allowed me to realise the stresses and strains that come with being a doctor. From both these experiences I understand how vital empathy & a sense of humour is when it comes to dealing with the patient and trying to make the best out of the bleakest situation. My communication and public speaking skills have been demonstrated by being an active member of the debating team. The rebuttals during the debates have definitely enhanced my ability to be able to think on the spot. Having to work with the team has improved my listening skills greatly, which is beneficial as being a doctor requires listening to the patients express their views and explain their symptoms. Mentoring younger children in science has developed my organisation and planning skills. Having to be prepared every week with a new presentation or activity allowed me to think ahead and also increased my creativity skills, as I had to prepare something that my mentee would find informative but also exciting. I'm an active member of the local gym, which helps me to unwind. I am currently taking cooking classes, which I also enjoy. Balancing many different activities has developed my time management skills and given me one of the most essential tools for a career as challenging as medicine. I understand that doctors are only human and can only help their patients to a limit; however I would be privileged to enter such an exceptional field and be part of this unique team. Although a career in medicine requires 100% concentration, I believe I am a determined,enthusiastic individual who rises up to challenge and has the skills that are vital to manage such a demanding course as medicine. I have just finished my a-levels. Am only 18, first time app to study med at uni!

What do you say about this letter, I have written to VC of a university? This is to bring in your kind consideration that current management of your university is as poor as catching a mouse in Dhok Khaba, Rawalpindi. This would make you laugh as you don’t know the reasons of this comparison. I leave this to audience. I guess my audience will have such level to understand the comparison of your management and catching mouse in Dhok Khaba, Rawalpindi. Introduction I will not advocate on the educational system (ES) in your university. I have reasons not to advocate on this part, because I believe in, “A bad workman always blames to his tools”. I know, most of the teachers and professors, don’t want to teach what they are forced to teach, hope you too. Second, if students are loyal and responsibly, they can educate their minds in different ways. Thus, I have nothing to utter about educational system at the present stage except management. Reasons not to advocate on ES I believe, educational system (ES) pays no contribution in educating pupil’s mind. Pupils can’t help educating their mind if they are sincere to their chosen subjects. Well saying, “Those who have discovered world, gave different concepts, theories, laid down foundations of knowledge and literature, they would have never been to universities. Those who been to universities, they kept themselves to maintain universities by funding, either from students, governments or donators. Purpose of this letter The purpose of this communication is to get your response before I take other steps for the rights of poor pupils of Pakistan, intentionally or unintentionally attached with your institution. First, I want to bring in your notice, some of the mismanagement’s worst practices inline under your control. My Visit On Monday the 12th of March, I visited Hazara University for the purpose to obtain my B.A Degree in connection with to get admission in M. Ed at AIOU Islamabad. I did B.A in 2005, I admit my fault that I had to get my degree in time but if I could not do so, I hope you would understand the reasons behind this. When I approached university, there were about three to four police men and also a lady police woman. It is the matter of great consideration; none of them inspected me nor asked me the purpose of my visit. Did you not give them instructions to inspect the visitors? I hope you did so, if so, then why such negligence at this stage when our country is in great threats. My visit was limited up to the controller examination, so I can’t point out rest of evils encountered by pupils. Now I come to more logical and the worst experience of my life that I have observed in your administration. About B. A Degree I needed B. A degree for admission and none of your staff guided me what I have to do in respect of obtaining it. I went to the examination department and asked, “I have to get provisional certificate”. Your staff requested me to provide the photo copies of DMCs of B.A along with filling a provisional certificate form. Staff did not tell me that it is useless to get provisional certificate at this time. You better apply for degree as it’s the fifth year going after passing your B.A. Errors in DMCs – Father’s Name When my DMCs were inspected, the concerned clerk told me that there are errors in these DMCs. The first error was that the name of my father in one DMC was Alaf Deen and in other Mr. Alaf Deen. “Mr” was the mistake. The mistake of “Mr”, I admit that could be possible, that a pupil may fill admission form like writing “Mr” with his or his father’s name. In my case, I am sure that this was also done by the computer clerk while typing my father’s name. Second, if I had written “Mr” with my father’s name, it was the responsibility of computer clerk, that he should not write “Mr” with my father’s name, as “Mr” is not the part of one’s name. Errors in DMCs – Registration No The registration no on my DMCs was wrong. That can never be wrong by my side because university allots the registration no to students not students define their registration no. Hope this will be in your knowledge very well. I have paid Rs. 300 for the correction of registration no too. My question is why? Don’t you have any SOP regarding the correction of registration no? If not, then again why? Is this satisfactory for you that you commit mistakes and pupil may pay for it? Extra Money I paid I have paid Rs. 700/- for obtaining provisional certificate, extra because I was worthless to get provisional certificate at this stage. Rs 300 for the correction of my father’s name and Rs. 300 for the correction of my registration no. After this I paid Rs. 2000 for obtaining B. A Degree. I still could no get the degree. If your staff would have guided me properly, there was no need of spending the amount of Rs. 1300/- extra on my account. This all is cruelty and this is the way to earn money from poor students of the country. Life of Provisional Certificate The life of Provisional Certificate is 3 years. Pro

Meteorologist: Little Ice Age Receding? : Meteorologist: Little Ice Age Receding RUSH: Boy, I'm lucky I just found this story. I meant to give you the details of this earlier when I alluded to it at the beginning of the program. By the way, welcome back, RushLimbaugh.com, talent on loan from God. This is from the Wisconsin Energy Cooperative News, and it's about a guy named Reid Bryson, he's 86, still goes to work every day. He's a climate scientist, has a Ph.D. in meteorology, granted in the history of American education, held the 30th Ph.D. in meteorology. "Bryson is a believer in climate change, in that he's as quick as anyone to acknowledge that Earth's climate has done nothing but change throughout the planet's existence. In fact, he took that knowledge a big step further, earlier than probably anyone else. Almost 40 years ago, Bryson stood before the American Association for the Advancement of Science and presented a paper saying human activity could alter climate. 'I was laughed off the platform for saying that.'" I can't read the whole thing to you because I don't have the time to do it. It's the WisconsinEnergyCooperativeNewsMagazine.com, WECNmagazine.com, and let me just summarize for you. He points out that here that we're finding evidence of civilization where the glaciers that are melting are melting, where they once stood. In Switzerland, for example, they're finding silver mines under the glaciers. As the glacier retreats there, they're finding the mine shafts and the mining tools stacked up and waiting, waiting for the mine workers to return as the winter snows melted but it seems that one year, those winter snows didn't actually melt. Then year upon year passed and the snows grew deeper and finally they had a glacier there. It was the little ice age, they came to learn. Now the little ice age is ending, the glaciers are retreating, and evidence of civilization is emerging where we've known nothing but ice in our lifetimes. They're also finding water management structures built by man where glaciers are retreating. In other words, yeah, it's warmer, and as this guy points out all that's happening here is we're getting back to normal. There used to be less ice than now, we're just getting back to normal. There are constant cycles on the planet. These glaciers, that was global cooling, a little ice age, it was much, much warmer, and before all this so-called talk about could she footprints and industrialization and so forth. We've been there before. We've been warmer than we are now. We did it without SUVs and the industrial revolution. It's a funky little source here, the Wisconsin Energy Cooperative News and the 86-year-old Reid Bryson, but I wanted to pass it on to you because once again this is something people have no historical perspective. I think the global warming crowd is pure politics. We never heard about this when Democrats are in office, just like we never hear about homelessness when Democrats are in office. It's a purely political issue to advance liberalism, big government, and all that. Beyond that, one of the things that is troubling is if there were just a rudimentary understanding of science at the basic Junior High level, every citizen who had that would be able to debunk the global warming claims. I know there's some psychology involved here, but we know the earth's been much colder and much hotter than it is today, long before the current crop of people and their reasons for the warming now were ever around. I don't know that a hundred thousand years ago, billions, did the people alive back then blame themselves for these changes? Hell no. They didn't have that kind of vanity, didn't have that kind of time. So it's purely political. A little total, 100 percent political hoax, made all that much easier to accomplish by virtue of the fact that basic science education is so inept. http://www.wecnmagazine.com/2007issues/may/may07.html#1

Can someone please help me with my english? Automotive retail cover letter? I made this cover letter below. Let me know what can be changed/added or modified. Your help is highly appreciated. Going tomorrow morning on job search. Dear Manager, I've been purchasing tools and spare parts from your store for months, admiring the vast selection of products you got there and wishing I could work there. But until now it wasn't possible. Today, however, I'm in a position to apply for a part time/casual retail salespersons job providing you got vacancies. I decided to write a cover letter to introduce myself and then ask for an in-person meeting to discuss what you are looking for. I currently work as a part time Mechanic for Subaru ******* and study at ******** completing my Advanced Diploma of Automotive Management. Therefore my availability is limited only for the weekends (Saturday and Sunday full day) until December. I have worked in a few automotive workshops, working on a vast range of Japanese and European vehicles. Searching for correct reliable spare parts was one of the biggest objectives I had at work, which made me apply for this job and to learn how to provide the customers with the correct reliable spare part/tool according to their need. Furthermore in the past as a Subway restaurant supervisor I have learned a lot about customer service and how a happy customer will promote the business whereas an unhappy customer could actually demote the business. In overseas I have a background where I worked on a lot on cars and doing car sales as my father owns a car yard, hence the reason I became a mechanic. Now I seek an opportunity to further develop my customer service and managing skills and I think that this would be a better career path in the long run. I hope that my knowledge in vehicles would be an advantage for this job. If you'd like to schedule an interview with me, and I hope you do, please call me on ********* and state a date and a time and I'll be there. Sincerely, **********

Should I put this on my resume? I am thinking about putting this in my qualities section of my resume. I know it will need some revising, but I wanted to get some opinions on what this statement says to someone that has experience ion hiring employees.

My verbal communication skills coupled with my empathetic nature make me a natural in the area of customer service, sales, and management. I posses a willingness to learn about the products I am selling and keep increasing my knowledge so I can become a multifaceted sales person. By exploring many areas of sales I have been able to sell everything from clothing, tools, home repair equipment and food. I believe nothing is out of my reach when I put the effort into learning about the possibilities that surround me." Does it show my confidence and willingness? Would you toss it or would you consider it? This is for a sales position at the Tire Factory.

Was there a complete doofus managing the project ? <<Both MIL-HDBK-189 and TR-652 are methodologies and concepts to assist in reliability growth planning. They provide a structured approach for reliability growth assessments. In general, they are considered from the standpoint that you must begin with some new components and grow the reliability of a system with a development program. Another source of reliability growth information is IEC 61164 (this document was previously numbered as IEC 1164) Reliability Growth-Statistical Test and Estimation Methods. The IEC-61164 document is a product of TC-56 work group which has provided about 50 documents pertaining to reliability and dependability. You can also download a reliability growth paper from the Internet which was written by David W. Coit with the title: “Economic allocation of test times for subsystem-level reliability growth testing” which was published in 1998 in the IIE Transactions (1998) 30, 1143-1151. This paper contains numerous references. For plant equipment and operation, the reliability details described below are a little different: · The primary purpose of our business activities is to run our production facilities to make money and not to make an improvement program · We have old equipment that can only be improved at specific time intervals IF the improvement is truly cost effective · Reliability growth occurs on the device as we using the equipment for its primary purpose as a link in the money making machine without time or resources for validating claims for improvements. · We lack staff and we lack verified knowledge that our planned improvements will function as forecasted · We need to forecast when the next failure is expected so we can plan for replacement/enhancements during schedule turnarounds · The reliability improvement process competes for limited funding with every other program within the production/maintenance organization In real production plants the reliability improvement program is clearly a question of which comes first the chicken or the egg. This requires reliability engineers to have numbers and then sell the numbers to management is 60 second sound bites based on 1) Describe the issue and 2) Tell how we will resolve the issue in time and money. The 60 second sound bites requires that we have good sales tools and the graphics of Crow/AMSAA plots help us sell the program.>> Was a reliability improvement program called for in the contract ? Did this occur ? Was someone mismanaging ?

I am considering going to school for IT - good idea? I'm 36 yrs old and am a single father. In the past year, I have been laid off from 2 jobs and am currently on unemployment. I've always had a passion for computers, but can't get a job using my knowledge because I've never went to school for it. Since highschool, i've been doing injection molding and tool & die - and have had management posisitons for about 10 yrs of that time. The most I've ever made was $62k a year and that was with a TON of overtime. The past several years I've been right around $50k - I'm planning on taking an 18 month course at an accredited institute of technology which will give me an associates degree in "networking and database professional" (basically their IT course) I have a feeling I'd have a much safer future working with computers. Anyone have experience in working in this field? What are typical starting salaries and should expect to make at least $40k-$50k per year?

Hi ;), would anybody check the grammar of this sentences ? Thanks a lot ;)? It was an honour to receive an award of academic achievement from Golden Key International Honour Society for both degrees that I undertook. They reassure that initiative, persistence, creativity, and result driven goals get things done above expectations. Lifelong passion in finance, marketing, customer service, communication, and networking are just part of the source of knowledge I would bring to your position of client service administration. I have always been a firm believer that results and actions speak louder than words. Some highlights of my background as a good communicator, team member, and person in charge include : -Serviced hundreds of customers of KFC restaurant and enjoy every minute of the process. -Successfully listed 5 and sold 2 residential properties within 2 months internship with ERA Metro real estate agency. -Being responsible as president, worked with 53 voluntary team members to entertain 858 high school audiences consisting of students, staffs, and teachers. Having completed Bachelor of Commerce (Finance) / Bachelor of Business Systems, I gained exceptional background knowledge in financial industry as well as a broad range of computer and programming skills. Almost intuitively, I am capable and used to implement computer technologies to increase a work flow’s effectiveness and efficiency. VBA programming for Microsoft Excel and interactive website have always been a very powerful tool.

Could you please check my Letter of Motivation? Motivation letter BI Norwegian School of Management, Master’s Degree, Program in Innovation and Entrepreneurship. Dear Sir or Madam, I would like to express my desire to study at the BI Norwegian School of Management during the autumn semester of 2010 and my great interest in applying for the Master's Program in Innovation and Entrepreneurship. I am an Italian student with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration at University of Palermo. In the year 2009 I embraced the opportunity to do an internship in a TQM Consulting Group. During this period, I have been involved in a Bachelor’s thesis project which allowed me to deepen academic matters such as ethics, corporate social responsibility and has increased my interest, my knowledge and my analytical skills in the field of Business Sustainability and Innovation. I enjoy change and am able to assimilate quickly into new places and I adapt to people easily. Thus, while studying for my degree, I took the opportunity to study one year abroad as an Erasmus student, experience that formed good knowledge in how to face an international and multicultural environment and that provided me both fluent speaking and writing skills in English and Spanish. My career aspirations after graduating are to obtain employment as an Innovation Manager in the field of High-Technology and Renewable Energy. I come from Sicily, a land that in spite of the amazing potential in terms of renewable resources, has never had the ability nor the will to tackle issues increasingly present. My deep desire to work in the field of Renewable Energy comes primarily from my will to demonstrate the market potential of my country and the awareness that these issues will in future have a dominant role at international level. Thus, the master program would be an extremely valuable learning experience and opportunity to carry my two passions in life – Renewable Energy and Innovation – even further. Managing innovation is a field that always fascinates me and I believe that this Master Program will contribute to the evolution of my career as it suits perfectly with my future and my goals. From my studies at BI Norwegian School of Management I expect to gain a strong preparation that would allow me to develop analytical and understanding skills, providing me the ability to evaluate the changes in businesses and a great awareness of innovation management so as to learn tools necessary to transform research outputs into innovative products. I am sure that the core courses included in this Master Program will let me better understand how to develop solutions with scientific methods and insights for complex company problems and how to let changes in business proceed as efficiently and effectively as possible, with a strong view to maintaining quality and ethics standards in processes, services and products. I believe that a background in Business Administration and a strong motivation to pursue an International career in the field of Innovation Management make me a strong candidate for your Master Program. I am looking forward to the opportunity to study at BI Norwegian School of Management in Oslo, immersing myself in my studies and the Norwegian culture and language, thereby increasing my cultural awareness. My time spent in Norway will bring enduring transformations in all aspects of my life that will assist me in attaining my academic, personal and career goals in the global arena. Sincerely, Valentino Giudice

Can u edit my Staement of Purpose:? STATEMENT OF PURPOSE Purpose of Study & Professional Plans The boundless possibility of trying out and the instant knowledge of the outcome that stimulates one for further analysis of a rationale in question, is what I find most appealing about Computer Science. Keeping up an inquisitive and explorative attitude, I believe, leads to a constant learning process. This approach adds to the already immense potential for innovation that exists in this field. As I have been brought up in a family which has strong inclinations towards development, My father is a K.S officer, whose works for the development of rural areas and my mother is a Teacher and social worker, who has always worked for poor children. I have developed a fascination for science from my childhood. This inclination towards science was further increased by my active participation in science fair and seminars in my school days. I had a special interest towards science and appreciated its innovative ideas and I want to dedicate my life for man kind with the help of latest technological tool “Computer”. My penchant for science rightly guided me to take up the science stream at the pre university level from which I drew inspiration to imbibe the true spirit of Computer engineering. I took up Computer Engineering as my undergraduate major as it had tremendous potential to becomes a dominate force in this Millennium affecting all walks of human life. Also Computer revolution ushered in an area that heralded the beginning of an all round progress of the planet. As a student in the First year of undergraduate study for a Bachelor of Engineering degree in Computer Science, I look to graduate study to refine my knowledge and skills in my areas of interest. I believe it will also serve to give direction to my goal of a career as a research professional at an academic, research-oriented organization. I intend to pursue a BS degree in order to reach that goal. Academic Background In my undergraduate studies of one year as an AUPP (Australian universities pathway program) student, I have benefited from the breadth of NICE MMC College that has given me a comprehensive exposure to the core areas of Computer Science and a strong conceptual understanding of the same. In this year of study, I have strived to maintain an approach of expending independent effort in all my endeavors. Learning by me and sharing my knowledge with others has been most worthwhile, when comprehending a concept. AUPP is an Australian universities pathway program; I found it the best way of getting into a good university in Australia .As it is not only cost saving and time saving but it is also well planned. This route of AUPP aroused a desire in me to acquire a professional degree in Technical studies from Australia via AUPP. My quest for the right path can get me to Australia, a highly developed and technically advanced country, which has always opened its welcoming doors to deserving students of all nationalities. Truly it is land of academic opportunities the flexibility offered by its educational system is amazing. Excellent infrastructure, advanced equipment and conductive environment, where individuals Merits and abilities are given due recognition are the strongest reason for me to study in Australia. One person’s life influences the lives of an unbelievable number of people, one of the most important lessons I learned, being a student and ambassador of NIIT during my secondary level (11th and 12th standard). Working as the youngest ambassador ever of NIIT Kashmir turned out to be a confidence booster. It taught me that the basis for good work is self-reliance and very importantly, time management. Not all of my work was devoid of shortcomings. I learned to accept both criticism and praise with a positive frame of mind. My work involved organizing various events, that brought with them the opportunity to work and interact with various kinds of people. This was a distinctively gratifying experience for me, which I feel would stand in good stead in the future, especially in lieu of any teaching experience. In conclusion, I would like to add that the essence of University education lies in the synergetic relationship between the student and his department. I feel that bachelor study at Ballarat University will be the most logical extension of my academic pursuits and a major step towards achieving my objectives. I would be grateful to you if I’m accorded the opportunity to pursue my bachelor studies at Ballarat University and am able to justify your faith in me.

Can you rephrase this essay? Activity based costing / Activity based management Today, manufacturing firms are confronted with an increasing competition in the global marketplace. The demand to increase profitability and the need to control costs demand an optimization of entrepreneurial ability in managing them. Cost management can provide the tools, techniques, and mechanisms needed by companies to help achieve goals and strategies (Andersen, 1999). The augmentation of automation and rationalization in manufacture, as well as the steady increase of complexity in production and distribution, has led to a serious adjustment of the companies cost structure (Freidank, 1997). Activity Based Costing (ABC) Defined - Activity Based Costing is a method for estimating costs for specific activities within the organization. For example, a contractor may be interested in determining how much it costs one work crew to install shingles on a house compared to a different work crew. Or, the contractor may be interested in determining how much it costs to install shingles on a certain house design, compared to a different house design. To better understand Activity Based Costing it is sometimes helpful to think in terms of subdivided a project into discrete, quantifiable activities or phases. The activity needs to be definable where productivity can be measured in units (e.g., number of hours work compared to units produced, square footage completed, or volume generated, etc). As the project is segmented into its activities, a cost estimate is typically prepared for each activity. These cost estimates will typically contain labor, materials, equipment, and subcontracting costs, including overhead, for each activity. Each activity cost estimate is added to the others to produce an overall cost estimate for the entire project. Activity Based Costing (ABC) has been designed to cope with the deficiencies of traditional costing systems. To achieve accuracy and transparency of product calculation, this accounting technique allows an organization to determine the actual cost associated with each product and service (Coenenberg, 1992). 1.2 Characteristics and function of ABC Activity-based costing is a decision making tool that allows, in comparison to the traditional overhead absorption, organizations to clarify the actual cost linked with each product and service produced. This is without regard to the organizational structure (Cooper and Kaplan, 1988). Andersen (1999) stresses the fact that ABC enables organizations to expand business performance through increased competence and reduction of costs. ABC identifies the key activities performed in all stages of delivering the product or service to the customer. It is these activities that consume the resource and these same activities that create the product. Recognizing this relationship is the cornerstone of ABC. It allocates cost (or resources) to activities based on consumption of resources namely; resource cost assignment (Andersen, 1999). ABC improves upon the traditional approach by using a two-stage allocation system and multiple cost drivers (Coenenberg, 1992). In the first stage, costs are assigned to cost pools within an activity centre, based on a cost driver. There is no equivalent step compared to the traditional overhead absorption method. In the second stage, costs are allocated from the cost pools, to a product based on the use of its activities. This stage is comparable to a traditional costing approach with the exception that the traditional approach uses solely volume related characteristics of the product. This is without consideration for non-volume related characteristics. Setup hours, numbers of setups, ordering hours and number of orders are examples of cost drivers not related to volume. This is the reason why the allocation of non-volume related costs using volume-based methods distorts the product cost (Cooper and Kaplan, 1988). 2. Analysis of the potential benefits of ABC According to Johnson and Thomas (1993), activity-based costing provides many positive aspects and benefits, especially in the manufacturing sector. 2.1 Determining the accurate product cost The capability of providing more accurate product cost information is the keystone of ABC (Andersen, 1999). This is done by reproducing the true cost and flow across the operations and processes of a business and reducing arbitrary cost allocations. An approach to discover opportunities for cost improvement is possible. Hence, not only the relevance and quality of information is improving but also which activities and events are driving the costs. The knowledge of the factual cost of a product is for every manager the essential key factor to decrease costs and distinguish opportunities for improvement (Freidank, 1997). 2.2 Profitable Product-Mix Johnson and Thomas (1993) point out that a sophisticated ABC system can provide good support to manage the mix of prod

Its the War and other : a Job well done? from government , or exact the opposite? What is unique about our moment is that we live under a regime that has come to believe that the government itself can produce this result for us if we only give the government enough power, money, and managerial discretion to accomplish this goal. The Left is the major voice criticizing the war on terror, while the Right, much to my dismay, has enlisted in ways I could not have imagined back in the 1990s. The Right has led the call for war abroad, and called for speech controls, domestic spying, and more power to the president to arrest, jail, and even convict people in military courts without the slightest concern for human rights and liberties. Countless times I've had to explain to people who otherwise are suspicious of government that it is not a good thing to give the US government the power to overthrow any government in the world or torture people abroad or pass out trillions in reconstruction aid. When the Left makes a case for total government management at home and yet nonintervention abroad, while the Right argues for free markets at home and a global war on terror abroad, there is some sort of political schizophrenia alive in the land. People who have doubted the power of government to do much at home seem to take leave of their senses when it comes to war abroad. And it is hardly a surprise that they have been proven wrong. The debates about the war on terror have typically involved great detail about the validity of intelligence reports, investigations of terror networks, discussion of the reliability of this or that foreign regime, and the like. But none of this is really necessary if you want to make a sound judgment about whether to support the war in question. What we really need is more general knowledge about the nature of government and its limits. If we understand how it will lose the small wars against things such as cigarettes and liquor, we can more clearly understand how it loses the large wars. The attempt to ban liquor led to a vast increase in liquor distribution and consumption through black-market means. The campaign to wage a war on poverty resulted in more poverty. The war on literacy has created generations of illiterates. The wars on cigarettes and drugs have been spectacularly unsuccessful, and for proof you need look no further than prison, an environment that government fully controls and which is predictably swimming in cigarettes and drugs of all sorts. There are some things that a state just cannot do, no matter how much power it accumulates or employs. I'm sorry to tell this to the American Left, but the war on warm weather is not going to be any more successful than any other of these wars. And I'm sorry to tell this to the American Right, but there is no way that the American government can kill every person on the planet who resents US imperialism. The attempt to do so will generate more, not less, terrorism. We are now more than half a decade into this war on terror. The State Department now says, based on its own data, that the results of the war are "mixed." In government parlance, the admission of mixed results means, in regular language, total failure Gone was the rhetoric from 2002 about the great success. It was replaced with frenzied attacks on ever-increasing numbers of terror groups. Instead of 10 or 20, there were hundreds and hundreds of them taking the lives of ever more people. Incredibly, the State Department decided not to make public the 2005 figures since attacks rose yet again. Officials had to be hauled before a Congressional committee before they would give any specifics. Now they can't get away with hiding the numbers but you still have to look very hard to find them. The bottom line is that since the war on terror began, the incidents that qualify as terrorism have increased by an incredible 26 times. For every one incident in 2001, there are now 26 incidents. For every person killed by terrorism in 2002, 23 people were killed in 2006. Meanwhile, the polls reflect the perception that the world is more, not less, dangerous since the war on terror began. Indeed, among those polled, 81% now believe that the world is becoming more dangerous. Are we going to call this a job well done? It depends on what you call a good job. It fits precisely with what we might expect government to do: its wars always and everywhere make the problem worse, and not better. It is essential that we look at this war in light of history. At the end of World War II, the government and its elites were quite desperate for a massive global cause to keep spending high and the government in control. Communism was picked, and so our former allies in the war became our sworn enemies. Ten years ago, with communism gone, the American warmongers had little to do, other than intervene in small skirmishes. Finally they hit on a great idea: demonize Islamic radicalism. Here is a nation without borders that is terrifying to the American people, just like communism. Despite all the appearance of sadness and anger after 9–11, the elites also understood that it meant the continuation of the old war apparatus. And for that, they were not entirely regretful. At last there was a pretext for war preparedness and war itself that rivaled the old communist threat. So off we went into this structure. There has been no shortage of rhetoric. No expense is spared on arms escalation. There is no lack of will. The effort has the support of plenty of smart people. It is backed by threats of massive bloodshed. What is missing in the war on terror is the essential means to cause the war to yield beneficial results. Of all the billions of potential terrorists out there, and the infinite possibilities of how, when, and where they will strike, there is no way the state can possibly stop them, even if it had the incentive to do so. Behind terrorism is political grievance. This is not speculation. This is the word of the terrorists themselves, from Timothy McVeigh to Osama Bin Laden to innumerable suicide bombers. They are not acting randomly. They have goals. The goal is, first, get the US government and its troops out. And if history teaches us anything it is that no country wants to be ruled by a foreign power, whether that foreign occupation takes the form of colonialism or outright military dictatorship. People would rather run a country badly than have it run well from the outside. No one should understand this better than the American people, whose country was born in a revolt against foreign rule. The second goal of the terrorists is to gain access to the levers of power. In many cases, the United States created these, such as in Afghanistan and Iraq. We insist that there must be a single governing power. Then we are surprised when groups appear that are determined to control it. It would have been much better for everyone in Iraq and Afghanistan to have left them without states at all. The longer we continue in the failures of our war on terror, the more problems that we generate. The pool of actual terrorists (like the poor in the War on Poverty) is limited and can be known, and they are the ones the state focuses on. But the pool of potential terrorists (and potential poor people) is unlimited, and unleashed by the very means the state employs in its war. Hence, not only does the state not accomplish its stated goals, it recruits more people into the armies of the enemy, and ends up completely swamped by a problem that grows ever worse until the state throws in the towel. In the meantime, the target population is able to make a mockery of the state through sheer defiance. The means of conducting war has all the features and failings of every form of central planning. There is an overutilization of resources, and, when the results are the very opposite of the promise, they overutilize some more resources. They do not account for the possibility of error, even though error is more common than anything. Rather than admit error, the war planners shift the blame. The war planners do not account for basic traits of human nature, such as the will to resist. They assume that the world is theirs for the making and never confront the fact that there are forces beyond their control. The people who planned the war on Iraq dismissed suggestions that perhaps not everyone in Iraq is going to be overjoyed at the prospect of gaining freedom through bombing, destruction, and martial law administered by a US military dictatorship or a puppet regime. But can't the state just kill more, employ ever more violence, perhaps even terrify the enemy into passivity? It cannot work. Even prisons experience rioting. The theorist who first saw the collapse of the ideology of the nation-state, Israeli historian Martin van Creveld, was asked about this in an interview for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. He was refreshingly blunt: "The Americans in Vietnam tried it. They killed between two-and-a-half and three million Vietnamese. I don't see that it helped them much." Without admitting defeat, the Americans finally pulled out of Vietnam, which today has a thriving stock market. To a notable extent, the war on poverty has ended its most aggressive phases and poverty is declining. What does this experience tell us about the War on Terror? The right approach to this program, as to all government programs, is to end it immediately. But wouldn't that mean surrender? It would mean that the state surrenders its role but not that everyone else does. Had the airlines been in charge of their own security, 9–11 would not have happened. Bin Laden would have a hard time gaining recruits. Muslim fundamentalism would be dealt a serious blow, for no longer would US policy seem specifically designed to feed the madness of its lunatic fringe. In all the talk of war on Iraq, I've yet to hear anyone recently claim that taking out Saddam or bringing about a regime change made the world a more peaceful, happier place. No one really believes that. The 1990 war on Iraq gave rise to al-Qaeda, led to the bombing of the Oklahoma City federal building, and emboldened an entire generation of Muslims to devote their lives to fighting America. The new war in Iraq has done the same. And where did these fanatics come from in the first place? They were subsidized in the 1980s by US policy. We believed that they were good guys because they were fighting communism. Some of the same groups that we are now bombing in Afghanistan and Iraq we were wining and dining in the 1980s in the pursuit of the Cold War. Thus has one bad intervention led to another, precisely in the way that Mises spelled out in his 1929 book Critique of Interventionism. He explained that interventionism is not a stable policy. It creates imbalances that cry out for correction, either by abandoning the policy or pursuing it further to the point of collapse. For this reason, the War on Terror is impossible, not in the sense that it cannot cause immense amounts of bloodshed and destruction and loss of liberty, but in the sense that it cannot finally achieve what it is supposed to achieve, and will only end in creating more of the same conditions that led to its declaration in the first place. In other words, it is a typical government program, costly and unworkable, like socialism, like the War on Poverty, like every other attempt by the government to shape reality according to its own designs. Now let us look at the flip side of the impossibility thesis. If government wars are impossible, what is possible? The answer was provided by the old liberal school: freedom. Society contains within itself the capacity to self-organize. There is nothing that government can do to produce a better result. This is true in domestic and foreign policy. "The idea of liberalism starts with the freedom of the individual," Mises wrote. "It rejects all rule of some persons over others; it knows no master peoples and no subject peoples, just as within the nation itself it distinguishes between no masters and no serfs." The war on Iraq has enjoyed some measure of public support based on the desire for revenge. Even though Saddam had nothing to do with 9–11, people wanted someone to suffer. What we tend to forget is that this is an old motive for war, and it can lead to calamity. The I'm often asked what an average person can do to stop the madness and further liberty. The first and most important step is intellectual. We all need to begin to say no to the state on an intellectual level. When asked what we would like the government to do for us, we need to be prepared to reply: nothing. We should not ask it to save our children, nor provide security, nor vanquish all evil, nor give us anything at all. We should not ask government to win a war on terror, end poverty, make everyone healthy and literate, provide for us when we are old, or anything else. Nothing the government does takes place without a greater cost than benefit to society. Knowing this, we can still be good citizens. We can be good parents, teachers, workers, entrepreneurs, church members, students, and contributors to society in a million different ways. This is far more important to the future of liberty than anything else we do. We must regain our confidence in our capacity for self-governance. I believe this is happening already. Even if the public sector cannot and will not prepare for a future of liberty, we can. Let us look for and work toward the triumph of liberty unencumbered by Leviathan and its wars. ________________________________________ Ludwig von Mises said that the great accomplishment of economists was to draw attention to the extreme limits on the power of government. His point was not merely that government should be limited, but that it is limited by the very structure of reality. It cannot make all people rich by its own initiative. It cannot provide universal housing, literacy, and health. It cannot raise wages across the board. It cannot ban products. Those who seek to accomplish economic ends such as these are choosing the wrong means. That is because there is something more powerful than government: namely economic law. And what is economic law? It is a force that operates within the structure of all societies everywhere that governs the production and allocation of material resources and time according to strict bounds of what is possible. Some things are just not possible. It just so happens that this includes most of the demands that are made by the public and pressure groups on the government. This was the great discovery of the modern science of economics. This was not known by the ancients. It was not known by the fathers of the early church. It was the discovery of the medieval schoolmen, and the insight was gradually elaborated upon and systematized over the centuries, culminating in the classical and Austrian traditions of thought. The power of government to do what we desire is strictly limited. Those who do not understand this point do not understand economics. And the economic teaching has a broader implication that concerns the organization of society itself. Government is not free to make and unmake society as it sees fit. It is not a tool we can use to fulfill our private dreams. Society is too complicated, too far reaching, too much a reflection of the free volition of individual actors, for government to be able to accomplish its ends. Most often, what government attempts to do — whether abolish poverty, end liquor consumption, or make all citizens literate and healthy — ends up backfiring and generating the exact opposite.

Might a project like Collins have used this "RGA" tool to advantage.? <<RGA: Reliability Growth Analysis and Repairable System Analysis Software Tool Reliability growth and repairable system analysis ReliaSoft's RGA is a powerful software tool that allows you to apply reliability growth models to analyze data from both developmental testing and fielded repairable systems. In the development stage, the software allows you to quantify the reliability growth achieved with each successive design prototype and also provides advanced methods for reliability growth projections, planning and management. For systems operating in the field, RGA allows you to calculate optimum overhaul times and other results without the detailed data sets that normally would be required for repairable system analysis. The development of RGA was a joint effort between ReliaSoft Corporation and Dr. Larry Crow, the leading authority in the field of reliability growth analysis, along with key development partners in government and industry. This collaboration has resulted in an application-oriented software package with all of the major reliability growth models, plus formulations that are not available anywhere else. Software Features RGA includes full support for traditional reliability growth analysis using the applicable models — Crow-AMSAA (NHPP), Duane, Gompertz, Modified Gompertz, Lloyd-Lipow or Logistic — for a variety of developmental data types — time-to-failure, discrete (success/failure) and reliability data. In addition, the software provides exclusive support for innovative approaches that facilitate reliability growth projections, reliability growth program planning and multi-phase reliability growth analysis. RGA helps to create operational test plans that effectively balance all of the mission profiles that need to be tested to make sure the testing yields data appropriate for reliability growth analysis. The software also provides opportunities for fielded repairable system analysis, including a Design of Reliability Test (DRT) utility and a method for analyzing the system's reliability behavior over time in order to calculate optimum overhaul times and other metrics of interest. RGA Features Summary Capability Highlights Available Training ReliaSoft offers a comprehensive three-day training course that addresses the topic of applying reliability growth models to analyze developmental testing data and also fielded repairable systems. By combining a solid theoretical foundation with practical application examples and hands-on software training, this course will give you the knowledge and skills you will need to successfully apply these important reliability techniques. RS 511: Application of Reliability Growth Models in Developmental Testing and Fielded Systems Step-by-Step Training Guide (*.pdf) Application Examples Some of the many useful applications include the ability to: •Quantify reliability growth achieved with each successive design prototype. •Determine the feasibility of achieving reliability goals with a given test/fix strategy. •Calculate optimum overhaul times and other results for fielded repairable systems without the detailed data sets that would normally be required for repairable system analysis. Application Examples>> Wouldn't you have to do the project this way? Was there a Lady Macbeth of Mtensk or a Lady Kaede engineering things so that reliability growth never occurred ?

Here is some Internet Information? ThreatsHow does the Internet create security risks for my computer? The Internet works by allowing one computer to send information to another computer across a network of worldwide computers. Rather than going directly to the intended computer, data often passes through several intermediate computers. Each intermediate computer has the potential to see the contents of data being transmitted — creating a security risk. Other security risks can be created from files and programs downloaded to your computer or sent via e-mail. Some programs, called 'viruses' are written to intentionally damage your computer and the data stored on it. Make sure security updates for your operating system (Microsoft Windows or MAC OS X for example) are consistently installed on your computer. In addition, ensure your firewall, antivirus, and anti-spyware software are up-to-date with the latest definitions. Does your computer lack antivirus protection? The Charter Security SuiteTM provides complete protection for your compter. In addition to its award winning virus protection, The Charter Security Suite includes a firewall, anti-spam, anti-phishing, anti-spyware, and parental controls. Best of all, The Charter Security Suite is included at no additional cost for all 5 Mbps and faster Charter High-Speed® Internet connections.

'Malware' is a generic term used to describe viruses, spyware, adware, Trojan horse, rootkits, worms or any other program with malicious intent. What is a 'virus'? A virus is a program or piece of code that is installed and runs on your computer without your knowledge. Viruses can also replicate themselves and are often designed so that they automatically spread to other computer users. Viruses can be transmitted as attachments to an e-mail, as downloads, or via diskettes or CDs. Some viruses are harmless, but most can be quite damaging by erasing data or causing your hard disk to reformat. What is a 'worm'? Worms are a self-replicating virus that does not alter files but resides in active memory and duplicates itself. Worms most often use parts of an operating system that are automatic and usually invisible to the user. It’s common for worms to be noticed only when their uncontrolled replication consumes system resources, slowing or halting other applications and traffic. « Back to Top What is a 'Trojan horse'? A Trojan horse is a malicious code that is contained inside seemingly harmless programs or data. The purpose of a Trojan horse is to gain control of the computer and execute whatever it had been program to do. Many Trojan horses are designed to damage data on your hard drives, send back personal information, or corrupt your hard drive. In one celebrated case, a Trojan horse was programmed to find and destroy computer viruses. A Trojan horse may be widely redistributed as part of a computer virus. What is 'adware'? Adware is any software application in which advertising banners are displayed while the program is running. The authors of these applications include additional code that delivers the ads, which can be viewed through pop-up windows or through a bar that appears on a computer screen. What is 'spyware'? Spyware is software installed on your computer without your knowledge that gathers information such as surfing habits, for later retrieval by advertisers and/or other interested parties. It can record and send through the Internet your keystrokes, history, passwords, and other confidential and private information. It is often sold as a spouse monitor, child monitor, surveillance tool, or a tool for spying on users to gain unauthorized access. It can enter a computer as a virus or through installation of a new program. What is a 'rootkit'? A rootkit is a set of processes or files that installs itself on your system without your knowledge or permission. Rootkits attempt to hide from antivirus, anti-spyware, and system management utilities. Originally, rootkits were used on UNIX® based systems for benign purposes. Today however, rootkits may be used to create a backdoor into your system for malicious purposes - such as intercepting information sent from your system, logging your keystrokes, using your system for denial of service attacks, and other deviant activities. Rootkits exist on multiple operating systems including UNIX®, Linux, Solaris®, and Microsoft Windows®. « Back to Top What is a 'zombie' computer? A 'zombie' computer is a system that has often been compromised by a virus. The virus typically installs remote access software on the compromised machine and the 'host' machine takes control of the compromised computer. Zombie computers are often used to send spam or send overwhelming amounts of traffic to a targeted server- causing it to crash. This form of attack is called a Distributed Denial of Service Attack.

What would you do if you relocated for a job and then they changed your job completely? I moved 900 miles for a job and then, after six months, they put me in a different position. I don't mean an office position moving to a different department or something like that. I work in a factory position where I perform robotic programming and machine setups. They changed my job to "Maintenance Supervisor"! I'm Maintenance Supervisor and the best part is that I have no people! No, the BEST part is that I have ZERO maintenance experience and knowledge!!! I'm not an electrician, welder, toolmaker, equipment fabricator, plumber, or even a mechanic. I don't know the methods and don't have the skills of a maintenance technician or supervisor. I don't know anything about where to buy the stuff needed... I'm supposed to plan a tool crib and have everything ordered in two weeks! I've changed the oil in my car several times and I've replaced brake pads once or twice. That's it. This company moves people around like they are drawing names out of a hat. Everyone else that is getting moved is a office person, supervisor, engineer of some sort. They all have offices, go to daily meetings, etc. They are management, I'm not. I'm the only one that works 8+ hours a day on the factory floor. I inquired about this change and got "written up" for a whole list of things that I hadn't done in maintenance -- things that didn't get done BEFORE they put me in this position. I don't have a clue of how to do this job. Trebor2, you can't learn a skilled trade in 5 minutes just because you wish it. It takes years of training and hands-on experience. Also, for the electrical, you have to spend a couple of years learning all the legal (safety) specifications. My job will end in two weeks. I've been "forced" into resigning because I couldn't "teach" another employee how to design and install a piece of automation machinery. Yeah, everyone knows all of that stuff without any training or experience.
