  Practical Connection   Student Name Course Name Instructor Name Date of Submission   Practical Connection A Reflection on the Application of Course Skills and Techniques in a Working Environment with Databases Work skills are essential, especially in the field or site of application. They come in handy and help one out when they need to handle work-related activities. So is my work area, which has got many activities to do with database management and maintenance. In this reflective essay, I will discuss how skills from this course have been applied in my work environment, especially with database management. I have been able to apply data modeling in the design and scrutiny of a new data model adopted by two organizations during a merger. An instance is T-Mobile in the wake of its merger with Sprint Corporation. This became necessary since, after the merger, the two corporations had to use the same model database, implying the conjunction of the two previously used databases. A new way for data elements’ interaction with the real world entities as necessary for the better customer service of the clients. Therefore, it is an application point for the data modeling skill obtained from this course. I have also been able to apply database debugging and optimization skills in database management. These skills come in very handy when one needs to test any problems with a database system. Databases are made by human beings, and humans are prone to error. As a result, there is a need for error detection in the databases regularly to eliminate as many errors as possible. When I first applied this skill, I found errors but could not manage to correct them. It took the assistance of a colleague to help me recover the problem to have the database back to work. Such errors can arise in the merger corporation such as T-Mobile and Sprinter Corporation since their separate databases were not meant to work as one, but now have to be forced into a unit, or better still, work harmoniously with each other. I, therefore, require to have the debugging skill to enable me to detect any errors caused as a result of the harmonious working or the unification of the two systems. Optimization was essential in the workplace to allow me to work on the system and make it respond more quickly where possible. The last skill I have...

The Illusion Of Greatness – How To Project Security On To Others By Projecting It On Yourself

Katty Smith

If you’re reading this, perhaps you are like me when I was in high school, shy, nervous about what others might say about me, avoiding confrontation whenever possible, no social life, pretty much being invisible to others. Well if that is the case keep reading on, I promise you’re going to learn something new and perhaps help you in some way. It wasn’t until later on while I was in college that I realized that I was a natural born leader all along, that I always had what it takes to talk to any girl I wanted and that I have more confidence than anyone I know. Today we are going to focus on one key point in leadership building, the illusion, if you truly believe you are something at your very core then you are just that. So let’s get right down to it, illusions are all around us, all the time, when you read the newspaper or a magazine, when you look at the night sky and see the stars, when you feel pain, all these are illusions. When you read a magazine and you see a picture that you like, you just think you are seeing an image but what you’re really seeing is a collection of colored dots that when put together create the illusion of an image. When you look at the night sky and see the stars you might think that you’re seeing them as they are right now but you’re really watching an illusion of what they were many years ago in the past. When you feel pain your body is telling you that something is not right, but we can learn to tolerate it. So what all that has to do with building your confidence? Well, confidence is just that, an illusion, the bigger the illusion the greater the confidence and the security in yourself, and the more you trust in yourself the more others will do the same. If you tell yourself a lie many times over it becomes real, as real as you want it to be, once you create an illusion of what you want eventually stops’ being an illusion and it becomes real. Basically it all comes down to a mental game; the strongest in this case is not the physically gifted but the one with the most powerful mind. What I want you to do is to...

The Gout Sufferer’s List Of Foods With Specific Vitamins That Help You To Guard Off Attacks

Katty Smith

When gout sufferers are getting significant amounts of the ACES vitamins (A, C, E and Selenium) into their system there can be significant reduction in gout flare-ups and pain. Gout is inflammation of the joints. This is caused by the excessive amounts of uric acid in the body that the kidney cannot handle. When this occurs the excess flows into the bloodstream. Uric acid in the bloodstream settles in the joints, usually in the lower half of the body. Gout is very painful and relief is necessary to be able to function and complete daily activities. Vitamins that are known anti-oxidants are good for guarding the body against the formation of uric acid, which causes the inflammation in joints when there is abundance in the body and blood stream. There is some evidence that when the body has significant nutrients, it can resist the formation of the uric acid thus reducing the abundance of uric acid in the body, which can over flow into the bloodstream. While many people like to take vitamins, some prefer to get the vitamins from natural sources, such as food. Below are the foods that provide these specific vitamins. Vitamin A Foods that are rich in vitamin A are: • Whole Milk (cow) • Red Vegetables o Carrots o Red Peppers o Tomatoes o Pumpkin • Green Vegetables o Broccoli o Kayle • Fruits o Apricots o Mangoes Vitamin C Foods that are rich in vitamin C are: • Wild and Black Cherries • Yams • Tomatoes • Strawberries • Potatoes • Parsley • Papaya • Melons • Mangoes • Guava • Greens • Green Peppers • Red Peppers • Citrus Fruits • Cauliflower • Cabbage • Brussels Sprouts • Broccoli Vitamin E Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin. This means that it does not get washed out of t he body. It is stored for later use. This is important because it means that we do not have to necessarily eat vitamin E rich foods every day. Foods that are rich in vitamin E are: • Wheat Germ • Corn • Asparagus • Vegetable Oils • Olives • Margarine • Nuts • Leafy Green Vegetables o Spinach o Kayle Selenium Foods rich in Selenium are: • Nuts / Brazil Nuts are the richest • Cereals • Meats (not good for gout sufferers) • Fish (not good for gout sufferers) • Eggs Herbals Some herbs...

The Good, Old-fashioned Arthritis Cure; Knox Gelatin

Katty Smith

As far back as the 1940s, people have reported the success their grandparents had in treating arthritis with Knox Gelatin. Although the scientific community has been slow to climb on board, people swear that gelatin relieves their arthritis symptoms far better than commercial medications. Although Knox Gelatin is the one most people have heard of, you can also buy fruit pectin, Certo, and Surejell. And, of course, gelatin is found in that jolly, jiggly treat, Jello. The word gelatin can be traced back to the Latin “gelatus” meaning stiff or frozen. Gelatin has interested scientists for centuries, and historians think it’s likely that Napoleon’s starving soldiers tried eating it as a source of nutrients. It didn’t actually come a food, however, until the 1890s when the founder of the Knox Gelatin Corporation, Charles Knox, developed it and aggressive promoted it to the public. What exactly is Knox Gelatin, or any gelatin for that matter? It might seem a little gruesome to find out that gelatin is made by grinding and boiling the bones, hooves, and connective tissues of cows and pigs. After grinding these animal parts, they are treated with chemicals that break down their structure prior to being boiled. During the boiling process, the gelatin comes to the top where workers can skim it from the surface. Despite the almost-reverence with which gelatin is regarded in the natural remedy community, it has not yet gotten a scientific thumbs up as a viable treatment for arthritis. Researchers have, though, determined that it’s possible that two arthritis-related benefits can be gotten from Knox Gelatin. For starters, scientists know that gelatin contains two amino acids which are also present in the human body. These amino acids are used to make collagen, the substance which connective tissues, such as cartilage, are made of. Cartilage provides the cushioning effect that keeps joints running smoothly and painlessly. Arthritis destroys cartilage allowing bones to rub together and cause pain. Research sponsored by gelatin manufacturers is trying to determine if Knox Gelatin is actually capable of regenerating damaged joints. In 1998, researchers at Ball State University conducted a study that concluded with the following results: Athletes who took gelatin supplements were found to have greater flexibility in their joints as well as more resilience to pain. In response to the results of this study, a small Nabisco subsidiary joined with Knox Gelatin to produce a product called...
