Office

Josh is inclined to take vacations in the winter. Josh decided to take a computer literacy class when he changed jobs. He wants a job that lets him move around rather than being confined to a desk all day, Or he will get serious hemorrhoids. The company uses the symbol of a dove to denote their products. It is not his favor thing, too.

Josh felt his boss was ungrateful for all  her hard work, so she quit her job. Josh's boss didn't accept his resignation, and asked for the report on short notice that explain why he want to quit the nice job in the public.

He thought, "When I go to a job interview, I want to make a good impression. Why not to practice this time? "

Josh was able to complete it in time. He try to prepare the presentation for explaining his idea company. He has come good ideas for his speech, but he needs to polish it before he gives it.

Employees at that company are always engaged in decisions that affect them. Forrest has a lot of abstract ideas of how to improve our business, but none are practical. The first one is telling his colleagues that don't sit on the chairs all day.

Susan's underlying problem is that she is lazy. If she sit in front of desk, she would not have good health.
Levine, who walks on a treadmill while he works and believes in "walking staff meetings," said similar studies have suggested that  employees can burn up to 350 additional calories per day, reduce their health care costs and perform better at work by replacing two hours of sitting with standing each day.

The desks of 30 employees have been replaced with adjustable "work-fit" stations, that give the employees the option to sit or stand while working on their computers. He said he's tried everything from sitting on an exercise ball at his desk to biking and walking on his lunch breaks to stay active and alert in the office. "I think any time you get a chance to do something to break up your day or do something at work, it's wonderful," he said. He said he's already seen how working for a company that  "invests in his health" - Caldrea offers catered organic lunches and group-fitness outings - can improve office life. "Employees are definitely engaged," he said.

Second point, BYOD, there's more to this new business trend than meets the eye. How BYOD creates risk for companies. Janet works as an accountant for a big company. She often uses her own notebook for work because she can easily take work home. While Janet's company may appreciate her hard work, they also realize that Janet is potentially creating a huge problem. If Janet's laptop were lost or stolen, the company could lose a lot of valuable information. Worse yet, Janet might be hired by a competing company and take her laptop - and the data it contains - to her new job!

Advocate say that BYOD has the potential to save companies a fortune since employees assume the cost of providing the devices they use on the job. The trend may also lead to greater efficiency because staff members are able to use devices they are familiar and comfortable with.

As such, workers are becoming inclined to use their personal devices for work - with or without the company's approval.

Josh was given a promotion at work because she had a lot of ideas in our department. But his colleague, John said, "Josh is a very smooth talker, but I still don't trust him."

Art is long and time is fleeting. There are a lot of changes in store for that company.There will be a shift in leadership because the company is hiring a new manager, Bob.

In another morning. Josh was responsible for finding the money to keep the business running.

Bob: Our time needs to communicate better if we want to finish this project.

Josh: The crucial challenge now is financing. Obviously, we will fund the company with our savings, but I'm worried that we've underestimated costs and could run out of money.

Bob: That is a very important issue for small businesses to deal with. After all, undercapitalization is one of the major reasons that small businesses often fail. To be honest, I didn't actually start the first store. Instead, your Aunt June and I used our savings to buy into an existing business. Later, we bought out our business partner and then expanded the business.

Josh: So you didn't arrange outside financing?
Bob: Not at first. Like you said, lenders often charge a premium for small business loans because they are so risky. We were worried that the cost of servicing a loan would actually hurt the business.

Josh: I hadn't thought of that.
Bob: Instead of borrowing right away, we waited until the business was a little better established. Then we borrowed money and used it to expand the business.
Josh: How will I know when the time is right to borrow?

Bob: Practically speaking, most small businesses inevitably go through several rounds of financing as they grow. Once companies are more established, the owners have a lot more choices. They might, for example, get a line of credit, take on a partner or get a loan. If borrowing money will make you money, then it's time to consider.

Next week  Boss, Trevor, needs to make some crucial decisions about his business. Or Trevor's business had problems because of under capitalization.
The underlying cause of the company's losses is that people were not honest. There are several charitable organizations that we have decided to support this year. By the company's speakings, their loss of sum or volume of business turnover is donated for charitable organizations. In the fact, losing the contract was a big drawback for the company.

Josh told to his colleague, "I can't agree our boss's financial policy "
"I sense a barrier between you and your boss. Do you get along with him?"
Josh answered, "He want me to do something. I just do it."
"If you get trouble in law, what would you do?"
"I have no choice. We never know when Trevor is joking. He doesn't have any facial expressions! He may want me to be a Scapegoat."

After a long time of competing, Kris bought out our competitor's company, so now we're the only one in town.

Josh spent long hours working or gambling and didn't wish to stop for a meal. One of downsides of living in a big city is facing heavy traffic every day. It's make himself get Panathenaea.

When he have trouble with his computer, Josh call the desk helper. He always works likes shit! Josh annoyed it everyday. After working outside all day, He feel like my shower worked wonder. He was tired and  fell into deep dream.

Josh thought about his boss words, "Before you decide on just any person to do the job, think about that person's abilities. Since you're a new employee, it is understandable that you don't know everyone yet. The company is trying  a different approach to attract new customers."

He decided to say in the interview of recruit, "Your credentials look very impressive, but unfortunately we aren't hiring right now." 

He can't hire another help desk can't do anything.


Game

Potential users for this kind of virtual reality are both fun and practical. Full-immersion video games would
make the player's experience more realistic and exciting. Ordinary people's ideas may also change because of virtual reality. Participants in one study played a virtual-reality game being represented by an image of a person of a different race. The studies suggested that this experience reduced prejudice. This new technology reminds people that we may look different on the outside, but we are all the same inside. As virtual-reality technology continues to develop, virtual worlds might just transform life in the real one.

Do you sense changes on the horizon, or do you think things will stay the same for now?

Virtual reality is creating new worlds with technology. How about create your dream world? Minecraft is a game about placing blocks to build anything you can imagine. Inventors visualize in their minds what they want to create before they can make it a reality. They build the castle in their brain and realize it in virtual world.

At night monsters come out, make sure to build a shelter before that happens. When you set first eye on it, you may feel it's ugly appearance. You must think that it's too old to play.

Hundreds of years ago, the city had been a huge trading port for slaves and ivory. The city castle was built for defense against outside attacks. The army's purpose is to defend the country from attack.
It is rich and famous in the world. It's maybe the sailors and merchants' heaven. In the other side, if pirates abide by the law, they have more funny tricks to enjoy.Because the navy will inevitably face challenges, and the pirates can overcome to change their face and features. Or they can attack the rich city to rob the more fortune.

Technology companies are working around the clock. Their goal: to use computers to create a 3-D environment that people can interact with. Virtual reality is working to let people go deeper and deeper into a world that exists only inside a computer. For users to be fully immersed in this virtual world, watching it on a screen is not enough. The virtual world must be all they see. Some controllers resemble the ones used for video games. Others called data gloves detect hand motions, letting people interact naturally with the virtual environment.

What are some possible applications of this technology you're developing?

One company, Motion Analysis, developed a suit with markers that let off light, allowing nearby cameras create a computer model of the person, which copies the user's motions in the virtual world. The Internet allows us to interact with people all over the world. You can be a cosplay in the virtual real world. The director of the virtual world wants to utilize everyone's talents in the show. Just show your self expression.
What are some possible applications of this technology you're developing? You can see and hear. It's still less the feelings about touching and feeling. But the advance technology will come soon in the future.

Once the computer program is set up, it can run without any input from the user. You just feel it in the freedom style. In Age of discovery, you became a pirate sail around the world. After saying goodbye to their families, the sailors embarked on their journey. You went to sightseeing around the very secret end of the world.

You can image it. What's thing is dangerous and safe. No magic is involved, except perhaps the rush of adrenaline during a brief fall followed by a glide down 876 feet. These athletes jump off heights, timing the release of their parachute for both safety and ultimate excitement. In recent years, jumpers have also been able to enjoy an additional thrill - the human catapult. Jumpers are launched 50 feet beyond the bridge before taking the plunge.

Someone climb straight up a steep rock face without a rope or safety equipment. It's no deal! But many in the climbing community disagree. In face, free soloing is so dangerous that less than 1 percent of climbers ever attempt it. Experience climber John Long says over half of the well-known free solo climbers are dead. According to him, Alex Honnold's greatest achievement is that he's still alive! Over climbers agree that the fear of climbing without a rope is a huge challenge to overcome. Everyone knows that a single mistake would probably be fatal one. The young climber hopes to scale the world's tallest mountains.

What drives people to set and break world records? That high wall will be the most difficult obstacle to climb. When you climbed up the top, you just couldn't summon the nerve to jump off of the cliff. You can jump from 10,000 feet and don't see God. Breaking  a record is a way to gain some recognition even if you don't become a household name. By VR, you can do anything that you have no courage to try. Let VR's people clap for you.

All athletes have to have a drug screening before they can participate in the Olympics. In the this base, you are hard to break the world record. Pritikin broke a record for rolling two together tighter than anyone before, hoping this would gain him more specking opportunities.

If they finish all activities, they complete the mission and earn experience points. Afterward, they can share the accomplishment with friends and cheer on other players.

To make that happen, companies are developing virtual-reality headsets with two screens, one in front of each eye. The screens display slightly different pictures, which makes objects appear in 3-D.

Kayla wanted to show her skill, proving that women could ski as well as men. Choosing  the VR world is a good choose. Practicing everyday let her win the opportunity.

These games add a dose of fun to medical treatment. Video games already keep people entertained, but now they are developing a more serious side: games for health. Games have been developed to help treat stroke patients, teens with depression and people struggling to lose weight, just to name a few. Players take on one of 20 different missions and lead a nanobot named Roxxi through a virtual human body, zapping cancer cells with various weapons. The game has been shown to help players gain a sense of control over their disease and stick to their treatment schedules. The game features level-based missions designed to encourage healthy diet and lifestyle choices. The games being developed today will help treat new patients tomorrow.

Eric and his brothers like to launch model rockets in their backyard. But Eric's emotion isn't good recently. Even he cried, "I am going to lost my love. You never understand it. You just a indoorsy boy." Steve's outburst hurt his brother's feelings. "Control your tongue. Forget about her. There are other fish in the sea. Buy a bucket of chicken and have a barrel of fun! I don't think talking to her would have done any good."

Many technologies that seem commonplace today appeared miraculous when they first appeared on the scene. The creative minds behind these amazing inventions were not only scientists, however. In many cases, they were writers of science fiction. These literary masters conceived of some incredible innovations way before their time.

So what does this suggest for the future? The bizarre fantasies of today's science-fiction writers may one day be accepted as normal devices. Already we are seeing developments like flying cars, real-time language translation and even thought-controlled computers. The future is becoming "now" faster than ever before!
For example: Time Travel - MIT's quantum time machine, Jet Packs - as seen in Star Wars and The Rocketeer, Teleportation - as seen in Star Trek: "Beam me up, Scotty!"

The game began in the nervous tension. All audience cheered for their favor team. The team's opposition was strong, but they played their best and won the game. You just control one team to win the glory. All the little boys tried to outdo one another when they were playing baseball. To Brad's amazement, he finished first and won the race. It's too awesome.
