ICT Homework #3

Personal Entrepreneurial Competencies (PECs) 

For reference, I'm posting here the ten Personal Entrepreneurial Competencies (PECs) which seems to be used in the Business Technology/Entrepreneurship programs of the Technology and Livelihood Education (T.L.E.) subject.

The original research by McClelland and McBer identified 14 PECs; the EMPRETEC [a UN program for small businesses; from the Spanish words emprendedores (entrepreneurs) and tecnología (technology)] clustered these into just 10:

Achievement Cluster
I. Opportunity Seeking and Initiative
* Does things before asked or forced to by events
* Acts to extend the business into new areas, products or services
* Seizes unusual opportunities to start a new business, obtain financing, equipment, land work space or assistance

II. Risk Taking
* Deliberately calculates risks and evaluates alternatives
* Takes action to reduce risks or control outcomes
* Places self in situations involving a challenge or moderate risk

III. Demand for Efficiency and Quality
* Finds ways to do things better, faster, or cheaper
* Acts to do things that meet or exceed standards of excellence
* Develops or uses procedures to ensure work is completed on time or that work meets agreed upon standards of quality

IV. Persistence
* Takes action in the face of a significant obstacle
* Takes repeated actions or switches to an alternative strategy to meet a challenge or overcome an obstacle
* Takes personal responsibility for the performance necessary to achieve goals and objectives

V. Commitment to the Work Contract
* Makes a personal sacrifice or expends extraordinary effort to complete a job
* Pitches in with workers or in their place to get a job done
* Strives to keep customers satisfied and places long term good will over short term gain

Planning Cluster
VI. Information Seeking
* Personally seeks information from clients, suppliers or competitors
* Does personal research on how to provide a product or service
* Consults experts for business or technical advice

VII. Goal setting
* Sets goals and objectives that are personally meaningful and challenging
* Articulates clear and specific long range goals
* Sets measurable short term objectives

VIII. Systematic Planning and Monitoring
* Plans by breaking large tasks down into time-constrained sub-tasks
* Revises plans in light of feedback on performance or changing circumstances
* Keeps financial records and uses them to make business decisions

Power Cluster
IX. Persuasion and Networking
* Uses deliberate strategies to influence or persuade others
* Uses key people as agents to accomplish own objectives
* Acts to develop and maintain business contracts

X. Independence and self-confidence
* Seeks autonomy from the rules or control of others
* Sticks with own judgement in the face of opposition or early lack of success
* Expresses confidence in own ability to complete a difficult task or meet a challenge

Computer Ecucation Homework #2.

Blaise Pascal 1623 - 1662 Blaise Pascal was France's most celebrated mathematician and physicist and religious philosopher. He was a child prodigy who was educated by his father.  He worked on conic sections and projective geometry and he laid the foundations for the theory of probability.  In 1642, at the age of 18, Pascal invented and build the first digital calculator as a means of helping his father perform tedious tax accounting.  Pascal's father was the tax collector for the township of Rouen. Pascaline with cover removed The device was called Pascal's calculator or the Pascaline or the Arithmetique.  Pascal continued to make improvements to his design through the next decade and built fifty Pascaline machines in total.  The first Pascaline could only handle 5-digit numbers, but later Pascal developed 6 digit and 8 digit versions of the Pascaline. The calculator had metal wheel dials that were turned to the appropriate numbers using a stylus; the answers appeared in boxes in the top of the calculator.   Blaise's calculated was a polished brass box, about 350mm by 125 mm by 75mm.  It was compact enough to carry.  On the top was a row of eight movable dials, with numerals from 0 to 9, which is use to add a column of up to eight figures. The right-hand dial represented deniers, the next dial represented sous, and the remainder were for livres, of modern francs.  The machines could be used equally well for pence, shilling, and pounds. The machine could add, subtract, multiply, and divide.  Multiplication and division were somewhat difficult to do, by performing multiplication and division by repeated addition and subtraction.  In fact the machine could really only add, because subtractions were performed using complement techniques, in which the number to be subtracted is first converted into its complement, which is then added to the first number. These two operations were made possible if one considered multiplication as a form of addition and division a form of subtraction.  For example, to multiply 1234 by 567 one would register 1234 seven times beginning with the dial on the right.  The next dial would be used to register 1234 six times.  Finally, the next dial would register 1234 five times.  Pull the handle and the answer would appear.  Interestingly enough, modern computers employ similar complement techniques. There were problems faced by Pascal in the design of the calculator which were due to the design of the French currency at that time. There were 20 sols in a livre and 12 deniers in a sol. The system remained in France until 1799 but in Britain a system with similar multiples lasted until 1971. Pascal had to solve much harder technical problems to work with this division of the livre into 240 than he would have had if the division had been 100. Pascal attempted to put the machine into production for his own profit.  This was not a successful venture, but it did result in a large number of units surviving to the present day. They are all slightly different in that they have different numbers of digits in the accumulator or haveslight differences in the internal mechanisms.  None of the surviving models functions very well, and it is doubtful if they functioned perfectly even in Pascal's day.  The mechanism, although ingenious, is rather delicate and prone to giving erroneous results when not treated with the utmost care.  Some of them will, for example, generate extra carrys in certaindigits of the accumulator when they are bumped or knocked even slightly. Below is a replica created by Selective Educational Equipment, Inc. of 3 Bridge Street, Newton MA 02195.  SEE Calculator is a small replica of the Pascal-type adder made to illustrate the mechanism. Single Register, Pascal Wheel, Mechanical, 1968, USA, 18x4x1 cm.  Transparent SEE Calculator where you can actually see how this simple calculating machine works.  In 1964, it was sold for US$3.25.

My FIrst Day High :D

MONDAY 5:00 am- Early Bird :)

Whooowww! 5:00 am, i was awake, it was too early than my natural wake up time, maybe because i was too excited for my first day in high school. My uniforms were ironed well, my shoes are shining like glass, my bag, of course it was new, i have to say goodbye to roller bags. Although roller bags made my life easily, i just have to brag them and that's all. But in this new journey, roller bags are BIG no no, and backpacks are in.

I started my day with a good breakfast, for a whole day energy. Then, i took a shower, P.S. The water was cooooooold.! After this long ceremony in preparing not just myself but also the things i have to bring. I still have to wait for my brother and sister. My brother and sister were studying in SPED G and we all have to go together every morning.

Now, i have to like fast forward my story........

6:45 EXACT. I was in the floors of RSHS III. Its like i cant believe i was in HS already. People were everywhere. Students saw their friends, girls were like having beso beso and having chikas about there summer. Boys were hey dude! havent seen you for a while. In short it was a new life.

My first day went well actually. I saw Arvin, Rl, Nico and my other friends during grade 6. They are all my schoolmates. I was happy because i met new friends, and i realize that in life every day you will meet new people and they will bring some lessons to you....
