Different types of technology How I use ICT at home and at school
Unit 3a - Different types of technology How I use ICT at home and at school In our current generation, the advances of mankind have been significantly massive. With technology such as laptops, iPads and such, old fashioned technology has been deemed insignificant. Just an iPad would have the capability blowing away the greatest technology from, for example, 10 or so years ago. And thus, technology is constantly being used; from ways to help advance and develop the world further on to being used for personal relief/enjoyment. But what benefits can we gain from using these technologies and why do we constantly use and depend on them over and over? Well, there are many different advantages to using technology and well as different uses the basics being - personal usage, social usage and home usage and each of these uses have their different benefits. Personal usage covers uses that benefit mostly the user him/herself, whether that may be at work, at home or even on the road. Social usage covers uses which are not only beneficial to the user him/herself, but also involves society with different interactions with the user and other members of society, whether on a social networking site or an instant messaging service. And lastly, home usage covers uses which are simply used at home whether that may be for comfort, general purposes or just for entertainment. Technology
Green River Drama Play
Green River By Scott Kessler /26/2002 Final Draft FADE IN: EXT. ASHCROFT HOME-NIGHT We open with a slow pan across the white-picket fence and immaculate lawn of recently built TRACT HOME somewhere in a midwestern suburban neighborhood. A WELCOME MAT neatly rests on the front step of a screened-in FRONT DOOR. We dolly up the COBBLESTONE WALK to the FRONT WINDOW and assume a peeping tom view into a neatly furnished and clean LIVING ROOM. INT. ASHCROFT LIVING ROOM-NIGHT We gaze directly into the LIVING ROOM of NATHAN AND MELANIE ASHCROFT, an upscale young couple in their early thirties. NATHAN relaxes on the COUCH with a cup of steaming cocoa. MELANIE files absently at her nails, laughing quietly at the antics of a zany sitcom on the TV. NATHAN (Absently; Watching television) Honey. Make us some popcorn? MELANIE (Watching TV) We're out of popcorn, babe. NATHAN Shit. MELANIE How about some Sara Lee cake? NATHAN (Considering this) O.K. FROM OUTSIDE, we hear the screeching of rubber, like a car coming to a sudden stop. NATHAN (Alarmed) What was THAT? MELANIE (Frowning) Sounds like Saul's car. CUT TO: EXT. ASHCROFT HOME, CURB-NIGHT A HOT ROD MUSCLE CAR with the rear end jacked up comes to a screeching stop, leaving rubber on the tarmac. FOUR YOUNG PUNKS pile out of the interior and onto the sidewalk.

Part I Section One Summary (page 1-13, "Mrs. Dalloway said she would buy...were all her fault."): Clarissa Dalloway took it upon herself to buy the flowers for the party that evening. Lucy had so much other work to do and the morning air was fresh and inviting. Air like this always reminded her of a morning when, at eighteen, she had burst open the French windows to the terrace. Peter Walsh stood within and commented on vegetables. He still wrote to Clarissa, very boring letters, and would be returning from India someday. Waiting on the curb, Scrope Purvis noticed her, thinking to himself that she was charming. Clarissa thought of the hush that fell over Westminster right before the ring of Big Ben. As the bell rang out, she looked at the people around her, living in the moment, and loved life. It was June and the Great War was over. Life sprang out all around her with a passion, dancing girls and ponies and shopkeepers in their windows. Clarissa was a part of it. Entering the park, she was met with a deeper silence. Hugh Whitbread, an old friend, walked toward her. He assured her that he would attend the party even though his wife, Evelyn, was ill. The Whitbreads always came to London to see doctors. Though she adored him, Hugh had a way of making Clarissa feel underdressed. Richard, her husband, could not stand Hugh and Peter had hated him. But Peter could be like that.

Summary Gentrification in Barnsbury Josh Bicknell Chapter one: Introduction Aim: To study the process of gentrification in London, Islington Gentrification is an unusual social process. It had not happened before the 1960s and even now it is quite rare. It occurs when middle class people move into a working class area. Most areas decline in social status over time. We say that they filter down the social hierarchy, i.e. when people move out of areas, poorer people usually replace them. The inner city in many UK cities was largely built from a Victorian middle class, now many of these areas are run down. An example of this is Hackney in London. Burgess Model: Over time people move further and further away from the centre. The area becomes worse and decreases in stature.

Produce an Analytic Report on How a Large Business Manages Human Resource Terms of Reference This report has been produced as evidence for Unit 4 - 'Human Resources' - as part of a Vocational A'level in Business Studies. Introduction This report has been written in order to show how successfully the company - 'Boots' is in running its human resources department in order to meet its business objectives. The report has been divided into four parts to ensure a comprehensive coverage of Boots has been researched and also to give the report a main structure of the human resources departments. Part 2 will be discussed in depth. Part 1 = Planning Part 2 = Recruitment & Selection Part 3 = Training & Development Part 4 = Performance Management This unit provides an insight into how businesses recruit and manage their human resources. It shows that if businesses are to achieve their objectives, they must plan their human resource function so that they have the right number of employees with the appropriate qualifications and training to meet the needs of the business. Successful human resource management requires that a business takes account of changes in the labour market and employment legislation to keep its employees motivated, to monitor their performance and to help them continuously develop through additional training.

Malta at the turn of the 19th Century.
Malta at the turn of the 19th Century. In 1530 under the surveillance of the Grand Master L'Isle D'Adam, the Order of St.John came to Malta and after 267 years the Order under Grand Master Hompesch left the Maltese Islands. The knights managed to change the island from one dependant upon agriculture to one economically stable. In fact, they gave to our islands great stability, as the military order gave security and safety by means of various fortifications and the development of the marvellous Grand Harbour. During this time we had an increase in the population of the islands, which reached that of 80,000 people. One can also mention the social stability brought by the order, as various projects were carried out, including the development of new towns, new fortified city, new water supply system (Aqueducts), more jobs created such as corsair, building, cultivation of cotton and last but not least trade. During these times there were 3 authorities, which had their own prisons, law courts and jurisdiction over a number of people in Malta. These authorities were, the Order of St.John, the Inquisition that protected the Christian Church from heresy etc. and the Church. The last two had their own patentees, law courts and prisons, an example being the church prison in Birgu. Amongst these authorities one could note several quarrels and arguments. Those people under the
Pitted against Patriarchy
Pitted Against Patriarchy Women's Identity in the North Introduction When studying the violent and divided society of the North1 it is not unusual to find that much of the literature written focuses upon the recurrence of bombings, shootings and kidnappings, and on the men perpetrating those atrocities. The experiences of women are almost entirely neglected existing as they do on the margins of an overwhelmingly patriarchal society dominated by mythologies and political and religious formations which according to Coulter, reduces the women to 'subalterneity'.2 Women in the North and particularly in Belfast have learned to live in a society where their own identity and interests have often been in danger of being submerged and, at one time or another, even censured, silenced or ignored. It would be a fairly straightforward task to examine the identity of women through literature written during the Troubles but that would fail to acknowledge the influences and experiences preceding this period, which contributed to forming and molding those communities and situations and, in part, causing the conflict in Northern Ireland. It is important, therefore, to examine some of those novels written before as well as during the 'Troubles' which highlight the patriarchal structures dominating the lives of Northern Irish women. Even though women from Nationalist and Unionist communities
Report: Type of ownership of J-Sainsbury
Report: Type of ownership To: Alf Filer From: Jaymit Patel Date: 24/11/03 a. Background information of J-Sainsbury's J-Sainsbury's is one of the United Kingdom's largest supermarket chains, operating more then 400 stores and employing over 142,000 people. Sainsbury's have developed an excellent reputation over the years and has worked to provide their loyal shoppers with the widest selection of food and services possible. However, in recent years the grocery chain has seen an increase in competition as the market has consolidated and large multi-national grocery chains have moved into the UK market.

Any person who may be interested in the business can buy these shares. It is easy to obtain information of J-Sainsbury's because, the business is a plc and they have to publish accounts every year, which can be gathered from the company's house. People who have J-Sainsbury's shares are known as the owner. But the shareholders do not run the business. Board of directors are appointed to run the business.

This means that the owners (shareholders) of the business are only responsible of the
Scarcity and Unlimited Wants.
Borja Hormaeche Business Studies Research Scarcity Unlimited Wants Humans have many different types of wants and needs. Economics looks only at man's material wants and needs. These are satisfied by consuming (using) either goods (physical items such as food) or services (non-physical items such as heating). There are three reasons why wants and needs are virtually unlimited: . Goods eventually wear out and need to be replaced. 2. New or improved products become available. 3. People get fed up with what they already own. Limited Resources Commodities (goods and services) are produced by using resources. The resources shown in Table 1.1 are sometimes called factors of production. Table 1.1 Different types of resource Type Description Reward Land All natural resources Rent Labour The physical and mental work of people Wages Capital All man-made tools and machines Interest Enterprise All managers and organisers Profit Types of Commodity A free good is available without the use of resources. There is zero opportunity cost, for example air. An economic good is a commodity in limited supply. Expenditure on producer or capital goods is called investment. The Economic Problem The economic problem refers to the scarcity of commodities. There is only a limited amount of resources available to produce the unlimited amount of goods and
