a business must reduce spending on product development and research in a prolonged recession period , why ?

Posted by admin on February 6th, 2010 and filed under research development | 2 Comments »

it is adviced to spend less on these research so that cash outflow would also be reduced , however , if the economy recovers, sales might be damaged .

There are arguments on both sides of this issue. Read any business magazine/website like Harvard Business or Business Week and there are many articles on the subject. The common is wisdom, however, is to not stop product development during a recession. You may not be able to do big projects but you should keep momentum. From a personal perspective, it isn’t healthy emotionally for you and your co-workers to stand still. It creates a depressing atmosphere where creativity will wilt and die. Try to choose smart projects that you can afford to implement.

Role models are extremely important in the development of children. Some would say America is lacking in role?

Role models are extremely important in the development of children. Some would say America is lacking in role models or kids are emulating bad ones. Why is this? What do you think you as an individual can do to promote positive role models in our society

I personally think that "bad" is the new cool now; everywhere i turn there is girls wearring more and more revealling clothing just cas they see it on telivision that less is more. Young males are starting to carry drugs in ELEMENTARY! and using them just because everyone is doing it. i think that tv is a big source of our youths role models and just flip through the channels and she how many uplifting people you see on there, if you do see any on there. what i try to do is watch minimum tv, i can admit that i watch on demand here in there but really i do just for movies. i do not see anything positive on television anymore, when this happened i dont know and if it will get better i dont think so.sucks but i just think that people should strive to be cool for themselves and as themselves and i think a domino affect can happen from this were a child sees you going against the norm and tries to be theirself as well.I donno i think it starts off with the parent and then moves on to tv and society so i think that parents should stay actively invovled in their child’s life with close bonds to guide them on the right path till they are old enough to do that for themselves.

Social Emotional Development Activity Plan for Toddlers?

Posted by admin on February 6th, 2010 and filed under social development | 1 Comment »

I need to come up with an activity plan that focuses on social or Emotional development for a toddler day care class, can any one help? the average age of the kids is 2.

For social aspect try doing activities that encourage interaction and working together such as building things and working as a group.
Group art projects, building blocks, circle time where they are needing to interact with each other.

Emotional aspect could be "how does this make you feel" activities. Have them draw smiles, frowns etc. You can use various media for this.

Read stories about manners, getting along, feelings….you can find a good selection at the library for alot of this stuff.

John Robert Powers personal development class = scam?

Posted by admin on February 6th, 2010 and filed under class development | 4 Comments »

I heard John Robert Powers (JRP) modeling class is scam but I read people comment they got something in the JRP personal development class.
My mom wan’t to put me in these school to boost my self-confidence and act like a high (rich) class society. more they’re overpriced.

They aren’t so much a scam as a VASTLY overpriced school that is not well regarded in either the acting or modeling community.

They will basically take ANYONE who is willing to give them thousands of dollars for little to no effect.

What are the possibilities for employment in software development with a certificate in computer science?

Posted by admin on February 6th, 2010 and filed under computer development | 2 Comments »

I’ve been interested in computers and computer programming for a long time but my university education is in linguistics. There are lots of certificate programmes that require one year of study at many of the french speaking universities in quebec, canada and i was thinking about enrolling in one. Will the fact that I only have a certificate from a 3 semester course as opposed to a degree in computer science done over 4 years severely limit my possibilities for employment ?

I have known people in this field who don’t have the computer science degree but they get paid very well and they are good as well….
If you have enough experience, you could make it to this filed as far as I know to the "Programming" filed just fine…
If you got no experience, try to get a job as entry level and when you show your skills and ability , you will get a better job within a year.
now it’s not a very good year for computer field :(

good luck anyway,
Cathy

Falco’s Game Development Marathon: Day 1

Posted by admin on February 6th, 2010 and filed under computer development | 17 Comments »

The first day of my straight week of game development.

My computer was screwed for the majority of the day, so I got a late start and didn’t get to cover everything that I wanted (corrupted oleaut32.dll, wtf?), but it’s aight.

Accomplished:
- Engine exits gracefully when files are screwed
- Debug printing system
- Changed all the FILE *s to ifstreams (in level loading, at least).

Screwed up:
- Other playable characters awhile back, and I forgot about it.
- My brain (I’m tired).

GOOD NIGHT.
