As the clock strikes 12:30 a.m., my phone battery drops below 20 percent. Other iPhone users may know that this is the critical moment at which your phone asks if you want to go into “battery saving mode”. This is the level at which I try to avoid. Being alarmed by this notification, I grab my phone charger to plug it in. After plugging in the cord, I was immediately alarmed when nothing happened. I looked down and realized my phone charger had the “Turtleneck of Death.” This term refers to the phenomenon when a phone charger cord gets bunched up at the end until it resembled the folds of a turtleneck, eventually leading to the charger not working at all. This was my reality on that cold winter night. It was past midnight so all stores nearby were closed. This meant I was going to have to choose between staying home to get my homework done without my phone, or abandoning my school work to drive 20 minutes away to pick up a phone charger at one in the morning. This was not a hard decision because I knew I wouldn’t make it through the night without a phone. I quickly changed into my warmest clothes and ran outside to my car. My father probably thought I was up to no good when he saw me running out the door at 1 a.m., but I was headed straight to Walmart. After a 20 minute drive I pulled into an almost empty parking lot and ran in to grab a charger. I returned home at 2 a.m. with a brand new phone charger in hand. I plugged in my phone and everything felt right again. The
An interesting statistic I came across while researching was that more than 90% of adults and 80% of teens in America have a cell phone. Charging phones can take lots of time and when you are busy or in a rush, a quick extra charge for your phone can come in handy.
The 918th Bomber group is radically transformed from being a "hard luck" group under Colonel Davenport to a successful group with pride and self confidence under Brigadier. Savage. The reasons for the dramatic turn around lie clearly in the differences in the leader ship style between the two men.

Coming in different entrances I entered in the south side of Fred Meyers there it was the electronics departments I walk in to the well-kept area. I was instantly greeted by a smiling employee. He asked if I was looking for something and actually I was. I was looking for a new phone charger. He requested to see my phone where the charger plugged in and quickly examined the bottom of the phone. He said that is a called a micro-USB Charger.
Leadership and Management styles have played an important role in the learning in Outcome Assessment and Quality Management. In class I have learned the positives and negatives that come from the different leadership styles presented. The movie, Twelve O’clock High, is a film that takes place in 1943 outside Nazi Germany. It depicts the 918th Bomb Group and the problems that they are having. Throughout the movie we are presented with multiple leadership styles from the commanding officers; Colonel Davenport, Brigadier General Savage, and Major General Pritchard of Pine Tree.

The paper copy of “The Story of an Hour” symbolized the open window in a more complete manner than the movie. In the paper copy, the open window symbolizes a new beginning, which can easily be determined by the view outside the window and Mrs. Mallard’s actions. In paragraph number 5, the author wrote, “ She could see in the open square before her house the tops of trees that were all aquiver with the new spring life. “ By using the words aquiver, new, and life, the author indicates a more positive view and explains how Mrs. Mallard looks forward to a new life. Also, on page 2, Mrs. Mallard begins to whisper the words “free, free, free”. By the end of the page the author states that, “... she (Mrs. Mallard) was drinking in a very elixir of
In Countdown by Deborah Wiles, the conflict follows the main protagonist Franny and her problem with change as a character vs self problem. The first time the audience is given any hint that Franny has a problem with change is when Mrs. Rodriguez skips over Franny twice to read from the social studies book (16). Franny then complains to the audience about it and make a mountain out of a molehill over the whole ordeal. This expresses to the audience that even with such a small change, this still bothers Franny giving some foreshadowing to the fact that Franny is soon to have much bigger problems with change. Soon after Franny’s whole deal with Mrs. Rodriguez, Franny runs into a problem with her best friend Margie who seems to be growing more and more distant toward Franny. Franny mentions that she has negative feeling toward the ever growing distance when she claims, “What’s worse: your best friend doesn’t feel like your best friend anymore,” (45). This is a rising action as we get introduced to Franny’s problem with change.

Eventually everyone has to deal with a dead battery. It's a real pain in the butt when it happens. Usually the timing couldn't be worse. Like when your running late for work. Never on a day off when you actually have time to mess with it.
Did you know that the cancer government, the federal communications commission’s says that hundreds of millions of Americans uses cell phones, and cell phones can cause you to have brain tumors? Did you also know that both adults and children spend most of their time on phone? When using your phone, it might give you a neck problem because in respect to cancer, concern focuses on whether cell phones might increase the risk of brain tumors in the head and neck area. But let me tell you something, as many of us use our phones daily, do we ever stop and think it might affect our body? No because we are so into social media and playing games that we don’t have time to think that it’s going to affect us. People say that phones are safe and other say they aren’t. I say that they can be safe at some time it can also depend what you do, and how long you use it for. Therefore, many of us get distracted easily and it’s pretty hard to get back on track. In 1973, the first portable cell phone was discovered, due to the cause that cell phones may not be safe at some time cell phones are also very important because in case of an emergency you will have a device with you.
This voluntary assignment helps me because it provides some very interesting facts and debates about the side effects of cell phone/smart phone radiation. In this course we have covered many different kinds of radiation, but we have not talked a lot about the radiation from technology. We presume this kind of radiation is too low to have serious effects on us. However, I remember that I actually had some problems when I used my IPhone (smart phone) two years ago. For instance, I started out with a headache that turned into a very serious
The second ethical dilemma is related to Apple's failure to disclose the fact that the battery needs to be replaced after 300 to 400 charges and that customers must surrender their iPhone to Apple for replacement. The iPhone is not a just mobile phone; it is a power hungry device equipped with a touch screen, colorful user interface, portable mp3 player, web browser, PDA and more. Owners of all other mobile phones can purchase and replace their batteries themselves and without risk to the device. By contrast, iPhone owners find it is extremely hard to open the iPhone case. The iPhone's battery is glued to the unit, and the wires from the battery to the circuit board are soldered. This clearly shows that Apple does not appear willing to provide a battery replacement option unless design changes are made in future models.
