The BELLFLOW system

The BELLFLOW flowcharting system was developed to meet certain Bell System standards of documentation. There are three modes of operation with the BELLFLOW system: source mode, comment mode, and mixed mode. In the source mode, all of the flowcharting information is derived directly from the source code. In the comment mode, BELLFLOW ignores the source code completely and derives the entire flowchart purely from comments imbedded in the program. In the mixed mode, the source and comment mode are combined. The mixed mode is unique to BELLFLOW and was designed to provide a self-documenting program source deck. Other features of BELLFLOW include: automatic placement, automatic line routing, paging, and generation of on and off sheet connectors

Tape vs. tape emulation

With digital recording becoming a standard at every studio, analog recording by means of reel tape is becoming a thing of the past. Audiophiles and engineers alike will talk of how amazing the sound of tape is. In the digital realm, companies are making vast improvements on making plugins that can emulate the sound of classic tape machines. This Capstone looks at the history and mechanics of tape machines and their digital counterparts, the differences and similarities between the two, and their respective roles in studios

Codependency in Master\u27s-Level Counseling Students

Purpose of the Study The purpose of this study was to examine codependency in master’s-level counseling students, to determine if there was a significant difference between incoming and exiting students, and to investigate codependency as related to age, gender, and religious preference. Method The Codependency Assessment Tool was administered to 275 Spring Arbor University master’s-level counseling students to measure codependency in five core areas: Other Focus/Self-Neglect, Low Self-Worth, Hiding Self, Medical Problems, and Family of Origin Issues. Results Respondents’ CODAT mean score showed a minimal level of codependency. There were no significant differences between incoming and exiting students on the CODAT composite scores or on each of the core areas. Scores were not significantly different for the composite or the core areas among different age groups. A significant interaction effect existed between student status and age on the composite score. Incoming students ages 22 to 27 scored significantly higher on the composite score than exiting students of the same age. In the core area Low Self-Worth, exiting students ages 22 to 27 reported significantly more positive self-worth than students ages 28 to 34. Among students ages 22 to 27, exiting students reported higher self-worth than incoming students. There were no significant interaction effects between student status and age on the other core areas. There was no significant difference between males and females on the composite score. On the core area Hiding Self, males were significantly more likely to hide their true selves than females. There were no significant interaction effects between student status and gender on the core areas. There were no significant differences among the religious preferences with regard to the composite or the core area scores. There were no significant interaction effects between religious preference and student status on the core areas. Conclusion The self-report of respondents did not indicate that there were high levels of codependency present. However, students’ composite scores did suggest that some codependent tendencies were present in a majority of the students. In considering codependency, counselor education programs can assist students to identify and manage any limiting codependent tendencies
