How Magnets Affect Computer Disks
BackGround
One of the most commonly used Computer data storaged mediums is a
Computer Disk or a Floppy. These are used in everyday life, in either our workplace or at home. These disks have many purposes, such as:
Storing data: Floppies can be used to store software/data for short preiods of time, Transferring data: Floppies are used to transfer/copy data from one computer to another. Hiding data: Floppies are also sometimes used to hide sensitive or confidential data, because of the disk's small size it can be hidden very easily.
Advertising: Because floppies are cheap to buy, they are used to advertise different types
of software, such as: Software for the internet advertised on America Online
Floppies.
Floppies are also considered to be very sensitve data storage mediums.
These Disks have numerous advantages and disadvanteges. Even though floppies are used so commonly they are also not very dependable. They have numerous conditions under which they should normally be kept. For example: the actuall magnetic disk inside the hard cover of the disk must NEVER be touched, the magnetic disk inside, must be protected by the metallic sliding shield, the disk must always be within the temperature of 50° to 140° Fahrenheit and the disk must never be bought near a magnet! (3M Diskettes)
There are many such hazards to computer disks. Problems caused by magnets are very common. A floppy can be damaged unknowingly if it is kept near a magnet, that may be in the open or inside any device, such as a speaker phone in computer speakers or stereo or a telephone. And becuase of the common use of magnets in everyday life, more and more floppies are damaged everyday.
Even though protective coverings against magnets and other electrical hazards, are available for floppies, they are not used very commonly. Therefore, floppies are not a very safe media for storage, even though they are convienient.
Some of the most commonly used diskettes are by 3M and Sony and other such companies. The floppies are sold in boxes with instructions on them to not to bring floppies near magnets and other instructions of DOs and DONTs. These instructions must always be followed.
Floppies have different capacities such as 720 KB (kilobytes) and 1.44
MB (megabytes). Floppies also have different sizes, 3.5" and 5.25". The most commonly used floppy is usually 3.5". It is not soft and cannot be bent, where as a 5.25" disk is soft and can be bent!
A floppy is a round, flat piece of Mylar coated with ferric oxide, a rustlike substance containing tiny particles capable of holding a magnetic field, and
Hard Disk Drive (HDD) - Hard drives can store very large amounts of data ranging from 200GB – 1TB. A hard drive is made up of a magnetic disk that consists of a number of platters/disks that are coated in a magnetic material that rotate at 7200 RPM. The data is encoded into bits and written into the disks as a series of changes in the direction of the magnetic pull, and then the data is read by detecting the changes in direction on the
For hospitals to reach their peak in the healthcare world they must work to achieve a prestigious credential by the American Nurse's Credentialing Center ( Truth about nursing). In order to receive such a credential, hospitals must fulfill a set of criteria that will take a lot of work and reform within the hospital itself. To receive magnet status hospitals have to express the fourteen forces of magnetism along with the strict list of requirements (Flores, 2007). Magnet status along with everything has its benefits along with its problems. This credential has been researched in depth, and some research feels that certain thing should be changed in order for magnet hospitals to be the best they can possible be. Lastly, there is no doubt that magnet status is of great value because of how it transforms hospitals from great to greater.
and sounds that this can create are put to good use to add to the
In conclusion, n The Lottery, written by Shirley Jackson, the author uses allusion, symbolism, and irony to convey the theme. The theme of the short story, therefore, is that people will continue to blindly follow traditions even if it is morally wrong. We are citizens of our planet and we turn against our neighbors, we will only cause chaos and destruction in the process.
This is known as an electromagnet. The current passing through an electromagnet produces a magnetic field. Therefore, the more turns of the coil you have, the greater the magnetic field. and the stronger the electromagnet. This will mean more paper clips.
The dichotomy of the different villages and how long their lotteries have been going for is brought up by Old Man Warner when yelled, “Seventy-seventh year I been in the lottery, … Seventy-seventh time” (Jackson). Prior to Old Man Warner’s yell, Mr. Adams said, “that over in the north village they’re talking of giving up the lottery” (Jackson), the divisive actions going on in the other villages gives way modern interpretation of war and the differing opinions of what others are doing. The lack of information plays into the questions of how “The Lottery” transcends time and what makes this short story a “classic”. Jackson’s ability to create a story that can be modernized and still maintains its core structure is what makes “The Lottery” a classic short story.

Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery” takes place in an idealistic small town in the summer. The opening lines describe how beautiful the town is and how happy its inhabitants are. However, this portrayal of a flawless town is a direct contrast to the hidden horrors that await the reader within the town square. Jackson wrote “The Lottery” to illustrate the fact that the inhumane practices that occur worldwide desensitizes individuals to where the loss of a human life is consider commonplace.
The short story "The Lottery" presents conflict on more than one level. The most important conflict in the story is between the subject matter and the way the story is told. From the beginning, Jackson goes to great lengths to present the reader with the picture of an average American town which fills all societal roles. Slowly the horrific outcome of the story begins to unfold.
Due to changing times, more children are now in some sort of care, whether it be long day care, family day care or with grandparents. In the June quarter 2010 there were 869,770 children in improved childcare, this was up 8.7% from the June quarter 2009. That is almost one in four children aged 0 to 12 attending childcare (Care for Kids, 2010). This signifies early childhood educators are now looking after 7% of all babies, under the age of one and 54% of all children under the age of three(Care for kids, 2010). Research has shown that this is the time children develop more quickly, therefore the child needs an educator that can communicate appropriately and accurately to meet their needs.
When you hear the word lottery, you probably think of winning a large sum of money before being stoned to death. " The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson brings this horrible idea to life. While the overall mood of the story depicts a typical day in a small rural town, through great use of imagery and irony, one is set up for an unusual ending. Shirley Jackson uses the element of surprise. The way of the story ends is unlike anyone could predict.
In her story “The Lottery”, Shirley Jackson manages to catch the readers’ attention and ultimately shock them with an unexpected ending; all of which help her emphasize her critique toward the dark side of human nature and the evil that resides, sometimes, in those who we less expect it from. Jackson uses symbolism throughout the story that helps her set the mood and also makes the readers wonder and analyze the senseless violence and cruelty in their own lives.
Every one of us wants to work for an ethical organization; sometimes it is difficult to find that because of who we are and whom we work for. Not everyone is perfect and if history has shown us many of us can be selfish people in the business world. We struggle to make moral judgments in the everyday grind of work. Greed drives unethical behaviors in organizations to the ground and what the chapters we have been reading teach us are steps we can take and learn to make business dealings honest and trustworthy for the public.
Early childhood education types of educational approaches to teaching children. These approaches have been based on a teachers own beliefs and values. Also, the theories and philosophies of many theorists who have based their research on early childhood education. This essay will focus on the three aspects that I find important from my own early childhood education philosophy statement. These aspects are, inclusion in the early childhood education service, the impact of social interactions on a child’s learning, and the importance of providing a safe and stimulating environment for children. I will be reflecting on how my own beliefs and values are connected to the three aspects of my personal statement. Also, linking these aspects to the theories
Ethical wrongdoing is a problem in the real world wherein the rules can be bent to manipulate financial standing. In some organizations such as Lehman Brothers, we will take a look at how they were able to alter real information that was damaging to the company in such a way to make it look more secure. Before these things can happen the upper management must discontinue listening to their employees and even punish the ones that speak up about issues in the workplace. Slowly an organization can slip into a level of deception and manipulation that can only be alleviated by the eventual bankruptcy of the organization.
