Informative Speech About Video Games
Good Morning, everyone, i'm going to start off with a poll of who all plays video games in this
class. A lot of you/ maybe not too many in this class play video games and/but, as of 2015, 42% of
Americans played video games at least 3 hours a week, which is roughly 135 million of the total
population. This proves that video games play a large role in our society. Today I'm going to be
speaking about the psychological effects that video games have on youth, but in order to do that, I
need to inform you of the evolution of violent video games, the effects of violent video games, and
the positive effects of video games.
First, I'd like to tell you about the evolution of violent video games. According to a user on ng4.com
named ABizzel1 In 1986 a game called Chiller was released and it was heavily influenced by the
popular horror movies of the time such as Halloween, Friday the 13th, and Nightmare on Elm
Street. Chiller was extremely gory for its time and due to its gore and violence, it was one of the first
games to be banned. In 1992 another game shared a similar fate, Mortal Kombat was released in
1992 and rivaled the famed Street Fighter and became an instant success due to its gore and iconic
finishing moves and it was the first game to cause political backlash in the US, during a
congressional hearing on December 9th, 1993 Mortal Kombat was mentioned, and was banned in
several countries. Video games will continue to increase in graphics quality which will promote

Carrier Corporation Case Study Analysis
Intro During the 1990's the Carrier Corporation was working on a highly innovative new global
chiller under 300 kW, called Aquasnap. The new design would integrate a Hydronic Kit inside the
chiller, all previous versions required installation of the kit outside the chiller. While the new design
would cost less, require less installation time, and save floor space, it did raise some concerns.
Carrier was becoming deeply invested in the design and was worried if the world was ready for such
an innovative product. The following sections answer some of the issues; what should Thierry
Jomard's (lead engineer) decision be, should the hydronic kit be integrated and how does Carrier
address future environmental regulations, what are the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The only way Carrier could compete was by designing a product with low labor costs" (Gibbons,
and Ramdas) (i.e. the aquasnap). The implementation of the integrated aquasnap, will increase at a
slightly greater rate each year, and will allow Carrier to earn about $8.6 million dollars more in 2002
alone, and $22.5 million more from 1997 to 2002. Also mass production will lower the overall cost
of manufacturing due to various factors (i.e. cost of materials, number of parts, number of
operations, assembly time, assembly cost, selling price, and overall price will all be reduced). The
share projections are a steady 14% until 1998. If the delay bleeds into 1999 the overall loss on that
entire year would be $6.8 million, but the overall market share would still increase $15.7 million
through 2002. Scenarios similar to Aquasnap can be found in gaming consoles. The integration of
the DVD to the PS2 game console allowed Sony to set itself apart from Nintendo, making it the
highest selling game console ever. The PS2 saved the customer space, time, and money by not
having to buy a dvd player. Even though the PS2 was $100 more than the Nintendo N64, it
dominated the market because of simplicity and convenience (Playstation website). Aquasnap also
creates simplicity and convenience for the customer but is cheaper than the competitor; therefore
similar market dominance can be expected. The chart on the right shows the sales of the N64 and the

Brook Trouts Study
Did you know the things brook trout need? All trout need oxygen. Trouts need about 7 to 10 ppm of
oxygen. If the oxygen is too low the trout will become sluggish and could die. Therefore, aquariums
are pumping air into the airstone using a air pump, so the oxygen will dissolve causing the fish to
have air in the tank. Did you also now that trouts need cold temperature water. A brook trout needs
to be in water that's about 50–56 degrees fahrenheit. According to the aquarium, you would need a
chiller that makes the water cool for the trouts. In addition, brook trouts also need clean water. The
water can't be polluted,, and it needs to be cleaned twice a day. So, the aquarium uses water filters
that keep the water clean. The filter has a charcoal

The 10/10/10 plan called for all European companies to reduce receivables and inventories by 10
days and to reduce personnel by 10 percent. For "Top Four in Four", each country manager was to
prepare a plan to show how the product for which they had European–wide responsibility would
hold a top four share of the European market in four years (Bartlett et al., p.3). In June of 2009, Buis
fired Paolo Lazzaro, president of Clayton SpA since 1998, for his attitude that Italy should "weather
the storm" of what he felt was just a low in the commodity cycle and not developing a plan of
action. Peter Arnell, named successor of Italy in July, was tasked with turning Clayton SpA around
and meeting corporate initiatives.
Problem
Clayton Industries was struggling due to the recent recession. However, Clayton SpA was
particularly faltering – losing approximately one million dollars a month in mid–2009. Since 2004,
Italy had been behind other European countries in revenue growth. Sales declined 5.3% in 2008 and
in the first half of 2009 dropped by 19.4% (Bartlett et al., p.3). Accomplishing either corporate
initiative set by Buis would be difficult for Clayton SpA. Inventory and receivables were both above
120 days and a reduction of 10 days would be difficult. Several factors, both internal and external,
lead to the situation Italy faced at the time.

Case Analysis Report
Clayton Industries: Peter Arnell, Country Manager for Italy (HBS Case # 4199)
1. Evaluate Peter Arnell's first two months as general manager of Clayton SpA. What are the main
challenges he faces? How well is he dealing with them?
The biggest challenge Peter faces is the stagnant growth that Clayton SpA has experienced in recent
years, especially with a 5.3% decline in 2008 and 19.4% drop in the first quarter of 2009 for Italy.
This lack of sales directly affects receivables and inventory. Coupled with a strong union in Italy
(FILM), these two forces directly contribute to the difficulty of fulfilling the 10/10/10 plan. Based
on these trends, a "top four in four" years is unlikely unless SpA can ... Show more content on

Furthermore, the four for four plan cannot be met if this strategy is instituted.
3. How would you convince your bosses to back your recommendation? Prepare your arguments
and support them with data.
I believe that the first option will have the most immediate, effective, and guaranteed impact for
Clayton SpA. There are significant areas in need of improvement that can all contribute to the long
term success of the division and taking a chance on an entirely new product with unproven
technology at this point in time is an unnecessary risk.
Given that Net Income is down across the board, we can see that 08–09 has been a rough year
mainly due to the decrease in sales and increase in the cost of raw materials: $37.5 to $50.1 million.
If it is true that the Italy plant is currently 20–30% overstaffed, then it will be imperative that Italy
drives its COGS down from current levels to achieve its goals.
4. How could you implement your recommended strategy? Prepare an action plan.
* From the firings, we can see that management does not share Arnell's plans for massive changes. *

pump and an airstone to pump the oxygen in the tank. Trout also need food, I would recommend dry
shrimp and it has to be once a day, because of it easy and puffs up in the water. Next trout need
clean water or their tank will get polluted. Buy a water filter and clean their tank with new water 2

Analysis Of Marie De FranceBy Marie De France
Marie de France begins her story by describing Bisclavret, her main character, as well as defining
what a werewolf is: "a ferocious beast which, when possessed by this madness, devours men, causes
great damage and dwells in vast forests" (de France, 68). She wants to relate the two by allowing the
reader to decide what she means by the descriptions and why she would correlate them. De France
does a little play and twists the monsters throughout her story. Being a werewolf, Bisclavret may
start out as a monster without; and, at first, his wife seems to be so beautiful and innocent, but there
lied a monster within her. Later in the story, Bisclavret is no more than a human being, and his wife's
monstrousness shows from within and she transforms into a monster without. The themes gathered
from this story are the relationship between love and suffering, justice, and the wife who may be at
first likable, but then changes the way that "monsters" are viewed. In order to modify the stereotypes
of what a monster is, de France made Bisclavret, a werewolf, the "good guy," and his beautiful wife,
an unforeseen "bad guy." The wife in the story Bisclavret portrays a trustworthy, loving wife, until
she reacts quite differently to him being honest with whom he really is. Her character is the very
thing, which makes the reader reconsider the definition of a monster and the truth about monsters
within.
The relationship between Bisclavret and his wife seems to be a very good and healthy bond

Bottled Water Essay
Summary
The US bottled water market is consolidated, with the four largest market players controlling over
71% of the market by volume. While a glance around the average supermarket chiller unit will
reveal a large number of bottled water brands, this may give a false impression of the number of
market players. Many of the multinational food and beverage companies have acquired several
bottled water brands over the years, which reduces rivalry in the market.
Differentiation is relatively limited which tends to lend itself to favoring buyers, however bottled
water manufacturers can differentiate through a range of flavored waters, spring or mineral water,
still or sparkling water, different price ranges, unique water sources, and branding and packaging.
What differentiation is available in the bottled water market tends to stymie buyer power somewhat.
Key suppliers in this market are manufacturers of bottling equipment and bottles, however they will
generally have a wide range of different manufacturers as customers which reduces their
dependence on bottled water companies and increases their influence over players. It is unlikely that
any retailer would stock only bottled water, and risk losing sales of alternatives such as soft drinks
and fruit juices. A lack of intellectual property serves to increase the likelihood of new entrants,
although this is stymied by the degree of government safety standards regulation enforced on the
bottled water market.

order to keep up with the changing energy regulations and customer expectations the energy
consumption of the factory and its efficiency has to be evaluated. This baseline study provides an
assessment of the factory's energy use and sets forward several important recommendations that will
ensure more efficient energy consumption. MAIN DOCUMENT XYZ is a small to medium
manufacturer of vegetarian pies that employees less than 250 individuals. XYZ 's factory is part of
several units built in the 1970s within an industrial estate. Since then there has been no significant
modifications to the factory.XYZ's factory uses two main energy sources. The machinery in the
factory including cutters, pie filling machines, conveyors and chillers are electrically powered. The
cookers and the building's heating system are fed by steam and hot water from a 1970s oil fired
boiler. The purpose of this audit is to establish a baseline from which to improve the energy and
environmental performance of the factory. In the history of mankind energy use has been part and
parcel of his daily life and progression towards betterment of life. The use of energy by man to add
value to materials required is indeed the history of industrialization (DMU, 2009). The idea of man

Brook Trout Research Paper
Brook trout are a very needy species of fish. If this fish is being kept in a tank, it will need many
specific things. For example, when they are still unhatched eggs the trout need their surrounding
water to be dark. To do this you could simply put up a curtain to keep the light out of the aquarium.
Additionally, the fish will need chilled water. This can be achieved by using a water chiller to keep
the water in the tank around 50 degrees Fahrenheit to 55 degrees Fahrenheit. If the chiller fails, then
a solution is to put frozen bottles of water into the water, then (once they melt) switch it with
another bottle and refreeze the one you began with. In addition to all of those needs, trout also will

In comparison to the general population, paramedics have a higher incidence of chronic conditions
such as obesity, dyslipidaemia, hypertension and digestive disorders (Anstey, Tweedie, & Lord,

working environment poses challenges to the essential task of food consumption for paramedics.
Influential aspects include physiological, psychosocial, the physical environment and the
organisational environment (Anstey et al., 2016). By investigating these factors, promotion of

Often eating within the vehicle is avoided due to sanitation issues. If breaks cannot be taken at a
rostered station, food is usually purchased due to convenience in the absence of fridges, microwaves

Case Study: The Brook Trout
he Brook Trout are going extinct, and they are a keystone species. If we don't take care of the Trout,
then the system would fail. One thing to remember to take care of the Trout is to not use flash to
take a picture. If the Trout are in the egg stage, then that means that they are very sensitive to light.
You can also put a curtain over the tank so the light wouldn't hurt the eggs. Another thing is that the
aquarium needs to have a temperature around 50 – 56°F. To meet the temperature, the tank needs a
chiller. The chiller colds it. If there is a power loss, then we have extra ice bottles. Next, the Brook
Trout oxygen, normally around 7 – 10 PPM. We use an air pump to meet those needs. The air pump
pumps the oxygen into the water, and dissolves.

Gas Appropriation
When hazardous gases accumulate and reach high concentrations, they can be dangerous for
breathing and lead to a fire or explosion. Gas detection plays an important role in providing safety
for people and property. Appropriate ventilation and monitoring measures must be in place to
safeguard the public and facility personnel. Different facilities may require different types of
monitoring, detection and ventilation systems.
Industrial buildings often use natural gas to heat their facilities. Natural gas is half as dense as air so
it will rise and diffuse rapidly when it escapes to an open space such as a boiler room. Its main
component is methane, which is a combustible gas. An undetected gas leak could create an
explosive hazard, causing

Absorption chillers can therefore be considered as a fast–growth segment and as Clayton already
offers a proven "first–class" technology, the company can easily become a market leader in this
niche segment, especially exploiting the first mover advantages. In this way, it is possible to state
that by developing this excellent product, it will be possible to both, placing Clayton in the very first
place in its challenge with his competitors and achieving the "Top four in four" plan proposed by
Simonne Buis. Obviously, in order to cope with the important investment that this project requires, a
cost reduction is necessary and essential, starting from downsizing. Brescia's staffing levels are in
fact still 20 to 30% higher than due. Even if this choice would be followed by a strong opposition by
FILM, unions and workers, dismissals are unavoidable. On top of this, the company would reduce
its overall cost due to lower manufacturing expenses, and because of the exploitation of the synergy
with Spain, it will be feasible to rely on economies of scale, thus increasing the production capacity.

Trade Between The Colonies And Britain Essay
The colonies were created by Britain for one main purpose: to enrich the Motherland. When trade
between the colonies and Britain began to increase, King George III created the Navigation Acts to
halt the colonies from trading with any other country to keep all the wealth for Britain. This was the
beginning of Britain trying to over–control the colonies. Next, the French and Indian war wages for
seven years leaving Britain in a major debt. To get money back, Britain begins taxing the colonies
on their everyday necessities. The first unfair taxation law was the Sugar Act. This created an
unreasonable tax on all sugary items such as sugar, coffee, textiles, wine, and indigo. This tax made
it hard for the colonist to be able to buy these luxuries. This cause the first real protest of the most
effected colonies; however, for the other colonies who it didn't affect as much. The Stamp Act was
the next tax on the colonies that taxed newspapers, customs documents, wills, contracts, and other

In 1766, King George III sent soldiers to the colonies to protect the colonist from the French. This
act required coloniest to give supplies and housing to the coming British soldiers in return for the

up their homes and food especially for the families who didn't have much to give anyway. This act
affected most colonies almost evenly except New York who refused to give supplies and shelter.
This caused Townshend to respond unpleasantly until they had appropriated their funds. This

Minimum Cleanliness Level The Oil
The industries standard for this are set by ISO standards. The minimum cleanliness level the oil
must have is ISO 18/16/13. Each number in this number code represents the maximum allowable
number of particles in the oil greater than 2 microns, 5 microns, and 15 microns in size respectively.
Hard to implement in our design (can't justify this concisely) not really necessary?
The filtration system configuration can be seen below in Figure 4. The pump draws the oil out of the
sump and through a prefilter. It then positively directs the oil towards the solenoid valve which
directs it through one of the two parallel filtration systems. Each filtration system is equipped with a
10 micron filter and two 4 micron filters set in a parallel configuration. The oil then passes through
the 10 micron filter which will remove all particles of 10 microns in size or greater. The oil then
enters a flow divider valve which properly diverts the oil to two separate 4–micron filters for further
oil cleansing. Likewise, the 4 micron filters will remove all particles of 4 microns or greater. From
here, the oil flows through a check ball valve to ensure no backflow into the filters. This is necessary
due to the merging of the two parallel 4 micron filters. After leaving the first filter configuration the
oil is then directed towards the cooling system. However before it reaches the cooler, it passes an
alternate route towards the bypass filtration system. This system does not circulate

Informative Speech About Video Games

  • 1. Informative Speech About Video Games Good Morning, everyone, i'm going to start off with a poll of who all plays video games in this class. A lot of you/ maybe not too many in this class play video games and/but, as of 2015, 42% of Americans played video games at least 3 hours a week, which is roughly 135 million of the total population. This proves that video games play a large role in our society. Today I'm going to be speaking about the psychological effects that video games have on youth, but in order to do that, I need to inform you of the evolution of violent video games, the effects of violent video games, and the positive effects of video games. First, I'd like to tell you about the evolution of violent video games. According to a user on ng4.com named ABizzel1 In 1986 a game called Chiller was released and it was heavily influenced by the popular horror movies of the time such as Halloween, Friday the 13th, and Nightmare on Elm Street. Chiller was extremely gory for its time and due to its gore and violence, it was one of the first games to be banned. In 1992 another game shared a similar fate, Mortal Kombat was released in 1992 and rivaled the famed Street Fighter and became an instant success due to its gore and iconic finishing moves and it was the first game to cause political backlash in the US, during a congressional hearing on December 9th, 1993 Mortal Kombat was mentioned, and was banned in several countries. Video games will continue to increase in graphics quality which will promote higher ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 5. Carrier Corporation Case Study Analysis Intro During the 1990's the Carrier Corporation was working on a highly innovative new global chiller under 300 kW, called Aquasnap. The new design would integrate a Hydronic Kit inside the chiller, all previous versions required installation of the kit outside the chiller. While the new design would cost less, require less installation time, and save floor space, it did raise some concerns. Carrier was becoming deeply invested in the design and was worried if the world was ready for such an innovative product. The following sections answer some of the issues; what should Thierry Jomard's (lead engineer) decision be, should the hydronic kit be integrated and how does Carrier address future environmental regulations, what are the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The only way Carrier could compete was by designing a product with low labor costs" (Gibbons, and Ramdas) (i.e. the aquasnap). The implementation of the integrated aquasnap, will increase at a slightly greater rate each year, and will allow Carrier to earn about $8.6 million dollars more in 2002 alone, and $22.5 million more from 1997 to 2002. Also mass production will lower the overall cost of manufacturing due to various factors (i.e. cost of materials, number of parts, number of operations, assembly time, assembly cost, selling price, and overall price will all be reduced). The share projections are a steady 14% until 1998. If the delay bleeds into 1999 the overall loss on that entire year would be $6.8 million, but the overall market share would still increase $15.7 million through 2002. Scenarios similar to Aquasnap can be found in gaming consoles. The integration of the DVD to the PS2 game console allowed Sony to set itself apart from Nintendo, making it the highest selling game console ever. The PS2 saved the customer space, time, and money by not having to buy a dvd player. Even though the PS2 was $100 more than the Nintendo N64, it dominated the market because of simplicity and convenience (Playstation website). Aquasnap also creates simplicity and convenience for the customer but is cheaper than the competitor; therefore similar market dominance can be expected. The chart on the right shows the sales of the N64 and the above chart shows the ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

If the oxygen is too low the trout will become sluggish and could die. Therefore, aquariums are pumping air into the airstone using a air pump, so the oxygen will dissolve causing the fish to have air in the tank. Did you also now that trouts need cold temperature water. A brook trout needs to be in water that's about 50–56 degrees fahrenheit. According to the aquarium, you would need a chiller that makes the water cool for the trouts. In addition, brook trouts also need clean water. The water can't be polluted,, and it needs to be cleaned twice a day. So, the aquarium uses water filters that keep the water clean. The filter has a charcoal ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

The 10/10/10 plan called for all European companies to reduce receivables and inventories by 10 days and to reduce personnel by 10 percent. For "Top Four in Four", each country manager was to prepare a plan to show how the product for which they had European–wide responsibility would hold a top four share of the European market in four years (Bartlett et al., p.3). In June of 2009, Buis fired Paolo Lazzaro, president of Clayton SpA since 1998, for his attitude that Italy should "weather the storm" of what he felt was just a low in the commodity cycle and not developing a plan of action. Peter Arnell, named successor of Italy in July, was tasked with turning Clayton SpA around and meeting corporate initiatives. Problem Clayton Industries was struggling due to the recent recession. However, Clayton SpA was particularly faltering – losing approximately one million dollars a month in mid–2009. Since 2004, Italy had been behind other European countries in revenue growth. Sales declined 5.3% in 2008 and in the first half of 2009 dropped by 19.4% (Bartlett et al., p.3). Accomplishing either corporate initiative set by Buis would be difficult for Clayton SpA. Inventory and receivables were both above 120 days and a reduction of 10 days would be difficult. Several factors, both internal and external, lead to the situation Italy faced at the time.

Evaluate Peter Arnell's first two months as general manager of Clayton SpA. What are the main challenges he faces? How well is he dealing with them? The biggest challenge Peter faces is the stagnant growth that Clayton SpA has experienced in recent years, especially with a 5.3% decline in 2008 and 19.4% drop in the first quarter of 2009 for Italy. This lack of sales directly affects receivables and inventory. Coupled with a strong union in Italy (FILM), these two forces directly contribute to the difficulty of fulfilling the 10/10/10 plan. Based on these trends, a "top four in four" years is unlikely unless SpA can ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Furthermore, the four for four plan cannot be met if this strategy is instituted. 3. How would you convince your bosses to back your recommendation? Prepare your arguments and support them with data. I believe that the first option will have the most immediate, effective, and guaranteed impact for Clayton SpA. There are significant areas in need of improvement that can all contribute to the long term success of the division and taking a chance on an entirely new product with unproven technology at this point in time is an unnecessary risk. Given that Net Income is down across the board, we can see that 08–09 has been a rough year mainly due to the decrease in sales and increase in the cost of raw materials: $37.5 to $50.1 million. If it is true that the Italy plant is currently 20–30% overstaffed, then it will be imperative that Italy drives its COGS down from current levels to achieve its goals. 4. How could you implement your recommended strategy? Prepare an action plan. * From the firings, we can see that management does not share Arnell's plans for massive changes. * Bad PR right now with regard to FILM and possibly worker morale * Focus should be on improving efficiency while decreasing the number of employees * Systematic evaluation of workplace efficiency, increase incentives for better production * Increase training for management – improve workplace

It was a state police car wanting Julie to pull over. Julie pulled over in a wide spot, the officer got out of his car and walked up to the window that was rolled down in Julies car. The officer looked inside the car to make sure there was only Julie in the car, the officer immediately asked for Julie's drivers license. " Is there a problem Officer?" Julie asked puzzled. He politely replied, well, ma'am, you were going sixty miles an hour in a fifty mile an hour speed limit.

Brook trout will need a few things, so when you are starting your aquarium you will need to go shopping. First of all, trout need 7–10 ppm oxygen to survive or they will get sluggish. You can buy an oxygen with an air pump and an airstone to pump the oxygen in the tank. Trout also need food, I would recommend dry shrimp and it has to be once a day, because of it easy and puffs up in the water. Next trout need clean water or their tank will get polluted. Buy a water filter and clean their tank with new water 2 times a week. Trout need a PH of a perfect 6.5–7.5.

Analysis Of Marie De FranceBy Marie De France Marie de France begins her story by describing Bisclavret, her main character, as well as defining what a werewolf is: "a ferocious beast which, when possessed by this madness, devours men, causes great damage and dwells in vast forests" (de France, 68). She wants to relate the two by allowing the reader to decide what she means by the descriptions and why she would correlate them. De France does a little play and twists the monsters throughout her story. Being a werewolf, Bisclavret may start out as a monster without; and, at first, his wife seems to be so beautiful and innocent, but there lied a monster within her. Later in the story, Bisclavret is no more than a human being, and his wife's monstrousness shows from within and she transforms into a monster without. The themes gathered from this story are the relationship between love and suffering, justice, and the wife who may be at first likable, but then changes the way that "monsters" are viewed. In order to modify the stereotypes of what a monster is, de France made Bisclavret, a werewolf, the "good guy," and his beautiful wife, an unforeseen "bad guy." The wife in the story Bisclavret portrays a trustworthy, loving wife, until she reacts quite differently to him being honest with whom he really is. Her character is the very thing, which makes the reader reconsider the definition of a monster and the truth about monsters within. The relationship between Bisclavret and his wife seems to be a very good and healthy bond ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

While a glance around the average supermarket chiller unit will reveal a large number of bottled water brands, this may give a false impression of the number of market players. Many of the multinational food and beverage companies have acquired several bottled water brands over the years, which reduces rivalry in the market. Differentiation is relatively limited which tends to lend itself to favoring buyers, however bottled water manufacturers can differentiate through a range of flavored waters, spring or mineral water, still or sparkling water, different price ranges, unique water sources, and branding and packaging. What differentiation is available in the bottled water market tends to stymie buyer power somewhat. Key suppliers in this market are manufacturers of bottling equipment and bottles, however they will generally have a wide range of different manufacturers as customers which reduces their dependence on bottled water companies and increases their influence over players. It is unlikely that any retailer would stock only bottled water, and risk losing sales of alternatives such as soft drinks and fruit juices. A lack of intellectual property serves to increase the likelihood of new entrants, although this is stymied by the degree of government safety standards regulation enforced on the bottled water market.

For example, when they are still unhatched eggs the trout need their surrounding water to be dark. To do this you could simply put up a curtain to keep the light out of the aquarium. Additionally, the fish will need chilled water. This can be achieved by using a water chiller to keep the water in the tank around 50 degrees Fahrenheit to 55 degrees Fahrenheit. If the chiller fails, then a solution is to put frozen bottles of water into the water, then (once they melt) switch it with another bottle and refreeze the one you began with.

One of the many contributing factors to theses undesirable illnesses is diet. The unique working environment poses challenges to the essential task of food consumption for paramedics. Influential aspects include physiological, psychosocial, the physical environment and the organisational environment (Anstey et al., 2016). By investigating these factors, promotion of healthy eating can be established amongst the workforce. The expectation to perform optimally cannot be achieved if the paramedic is being sustained by a poor or inadequate diet. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... This revealed certain perspectives on the ability and challenges of healthy eating whilst on shift. Often eating within the vehicle is avoided due to sanitation issues. If breaks cannot be taken at a rostered station, food is usually purchased due to convenience in the absence of fridges, microwaves and hot water. This is further challenged by food outlet availability, time constraints and colleague choice. With shift–work, fatigue, hunger and cravings can often drive food choice towards processed and sugary foods despite the consequential health issues these food options impose (Paterson, Sofianopoulos, & Williams, 2014). In another study, paramedics expressed a desire for "protected meal breaks" in an attempt to improve their eating habits (Dropkin, Moline, Power & Hyun, 2015). This would be idealistic but given the nature of the job, paramedics need to be able to respond immediately to emergency calls. This is an area to be further ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Hard to implement in our design (can't justify this concisely) not really necessary? The filtration system configuration can be seen below in Figure 4. The pump draws the oil out of the sump and through a prefilter. It then positively directs the oil towards the solenoid valve which directs it through one of the two parallel filtration systems. Each filtration system is equipped with a 10 micron filter and two 4 micron filters set in a parallel configuration. The oil then passes through the 10 micron filter which will remove all particles of 10 microns in size or greater. The oil then enters a flow divider valve which properly diverts the oil to two separate 4–micron filters for further oil cleansing. Likewise, the 4 micron filters will remove all particles of 4 microns or greater. From here, the oil flows through a check ball valve to ensure no backflow into the filters. This is necessary due to the merging of the two parallel 4 micron filters. After leaving the first filter configuration the oil is then directed towards the cooling system.

Such investment would have been in contrast with the CEO's and EVP's guidelines and would have been very difficult considering the condition of the balance sheet, as Clayton lost 24.2 million in the last six months, with the only Clayton SpA loosing 6.7 million. Overmore, the company is currently losing more than 1 million per month as a consequence of a 27% increase in steel prices in the past two years. A a cost that would still affect the company by choosing this option and that could not be recouped due to foreign competitors' aggressive pricing. In this sense it will be very difficult to compete with Asian low prices because both of the initial 5 million investment and the higher manufacturing costs. Hence, Clayton SpA is not going to develop a new product line able to acquire new market share in the post–recession profitable growth, it will be almost impossible to achieve the "top four in four" plan and to increase the low percentage (7%) of the overall market share, as compressor chillers have generated in 2009 only the 12% of sales for the rest of Europe.

Virginia Tech's Future Study Since its opening in 1901, the Virginia Tech Central Steam Plant has played an integral part in producing electricity for the university and the greater Blacksburg area; however, over the past 113 years, the plant has shifted its primary focus from producing electricity to producing steam and hot water for the university. The plant, which uses a mixture of fuels including coal and natural gas, is classified as a "cogeneration" or "combined heat and power" plant. Simply put, this means the facility produces both electricity and steam/heat. Virginia Tech is one of the few universities in the commonwealth that helps to serve the electrical needs of its surrounding community; moreover, it is the only university that supplies the community via a ...

This was just nine short years after Thomas Edison established the first power plant in the United States, the Pearl Street Station in New York City ("Pearl Street Station"). Although Virginia Tech's electric plant was the first collegiate electric plant in the Commonwealth of Virginia, it is now joined by over 100 coal–fired boilers on 60+ college campuses nationwide. The Morgantown Energy Facility, located just 1/4th of a mile from the West Virginia University, is one of the only other coal– fired cogeneration in the United States. The plant uses bituminous coal and waste coal as its primary fuel sources, and is able to output 68.9 MW of electricity. Comparatively, the Virginia Tech plant, which focuses on steam production more than the Morgantown plant, is only able to reach 6.5 MW at peak capacity. What the Central Steam Plant lacks in electrical output, it makes up for in its strict emissions standards. In 2006, the Virginia Tech Central Steam Plant recorded emissions equivalent to roughly 285,000 tons of CO2 and an extremely low 90 tons of SO2. The West Virginia facility, on the other hand, reported over 650,000 tons of CO2 emissions and 850 tons of SO2 emissions. The WVU plant uses much more coal than the VT plant, which leads to higher levels of CO2 and SO2 emissions. The baghouses and scrubbers on two of the Virginia Tech boilers ...

Cause And Effect Of Drought In California Have you thought what is being affected due to the drought in California, well one of the things that has been affected tremendously is the salmon population. Some of the ways that the salmon population has been effected are that due to water temperature a lot of salmon babies don't get to hatch. Usually Salmon would lay eggs in cold waters, but their path to their usual breeding grounds has been blocked of by the Shasta dam and Keswick dam. Unfortunately because of the drought the usual run off that fills the lake had been cut, also because the computer used to regulate the water temperature had miscalculated. Due to both of these reasons the water at the spawning grounds rose above 62 degrees and their breeding waters should not go over 56 ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

BIM–Phase developed application shows six buttons in the bottom of the screen numbered from one to six. These buttons reflect the project's skeleton phases, which has been added to the user interface using Metaio Creator. The Concrete skeleton is divided into six phases as explained before, where the user has the flexibility to change the phasing interval in the Augmented Reality creator tool. When a button is tapped, the model of each phase is rendered on the origin point of the ID marker. In Fig. 10, the shown rendered model is scaled to depict the first phase. Moreover, behind the 3D model of the first phase an augmented 5D model visualizes the planned progress of works over each day combined with the planned cost, which is known as the Budgeted Cost of Work Scheduled (BCWS).

In the early 80's they expanded in North America, and this has helped establish them today as one of the foremost leaders in the United States and North American air conditioner sales. They restructured in 1988 to better organize their business arms as they were expanding into many different European nations to continue competing on an increasingly global scale.

These conferences were a great opportunity for the different branches of Clayton in Europe to come together and advise each other as to best and worst business practices in the region, exchange new ideas, and collaborate on solutions to shared fears. At this conference Peter Arnell is presented with 3 options for the future of Clayton in industry, and he must evaluate risks and rewards in deciding which will be best for the company's future in Italy. The first option is suggested by Italian managers and would be to return their plant to profitability by boosting plant efficiency, product development initiatives to revitalize the compression chiller lines, and a sales/marketing plan to expand market share outside of Italy. This option does not very clearly state how they would go about achieving these goals, which makes it sound like a nice option but leaves a lot to be desired in terms of certainty of success. It would cost around $5 million USD for the first year of this plan which is also a turn off, because the plan is supposed to be saving money, not spending it.
