...Discussion Board Unit 2 Comp101/1401B Introduction to Computers A. Questions for weekly discussions and conversations. 1. Why are clip art libraries useful, not only in Word , but also in PowerPoint? Clip art libraries are useful to show pictures to your words. They are great for making your documents or slide shows more exciting. Clip art actually can draw attention to get the readers to focus on the project or document itself. 2. What are the copyright laws that must be followed when using clip art? The right of legal use of clip art depends on the intent of the copyright owner. Copyrighted clip art is off limits for commercial use unless you have a written agreement with the copyright holder. For instance, if you sold Nike products in your store, you would have the right to use their logo for advertising. If you didn’t sell Nike products then it would be illegal for you to use their logo without permission. 3. When might it not be appropriate to use clip art? Clip art probably wouldn’t be appropriate in legal and professional documents. It wouldn’t be professional if clip art was used. B. If you have not used clip art before, find 2 sites on the internet, and provide at least 1 example of when each site could be used in a practical way. Include the type of clip art found at the sites, including categories or special interest areas for the site. The first site that caught my eye was ClipartHeaven.com. The clip art ranges from...

...According to your textbook, what are the dates for Jesus’ birth and death? Jesus’ birth is one of the most remarkable and glorious activities to ever take place on earth. There has always been speculation surrounding the exact birth date of our Lord and Savior. December 25th has been assigned and universally recognized as the birth of Christ. According to the text, although no definitive concensus was met to explicitly state when Jesus was born, it is a toss-up between Matthew’s account of Jesus birth and Luke’s account. Based on Matthew 2:1, “Now after Jesus was born in Bethleham of Judea in the days of Herod the King, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem…” in juxtaposition Luke 1:5 has nothing to do with Jesus’ birth, but rather John the Baptist’s. [1] What are the critical datum we use to attain these dates? Moreover, the text settles on the notion that Jesus birth was possibly around 4 BC. More specifically the text states, “Both the Western Church (December 25) and the Eastern Church (January 6) celebrate the birth of Jesus in the winter. None of the NT data is inconsistent with a mid-winter date. If the traditional dates approximate the actual date of Jesus’ birth, Jesus was probably born in the winter of either 7-6 BC, 6-5 BC, or 5-4 BC, with a 5 BC date for Jesus’ birth being perhaps the most likely” (Kostenberger, The Cradle, The Cross, and the Crown, 139). Similar to the contestation over Jesus’ birth; his death is no option. According to the bible...

...Unit 2 DB Subjective Probability “ A probability derived from an individual's personal judgment about whether a specific outcome is likely to occur. Subjective probabilities contain no formal calculations and only reflect the subject's opinions and past experience.” (investopedia.com, 2013) There are three elements of a probability which combine to equal a result. There is the experiment ,the sample space and the event (Editorial board, 2012). In this case the class is the experiment because the process of attempting it will result in a grade which could vary from an A to F. The different grades that can be achieved in the class are the sample space. The event or outcome is the grade that will be received at the end of the experiment. I would like to achieve an “A” in this class but due to my lack of experience in statistical analysis, my hesitation towards advanced mathematics, and the length of time it takes for me to complete my course work a C in this class may be my best result. I have a 1/9 chance or probability to receive an “A” in the data range presented to me which is (A,A-,B,B-,C,C-,D,D- AND F). By the grades that have been posted I would say that the other students have a much better chance of receiving a better grade than mine. I have personally use subjective probability in my security guard business in bidding on contracts based on the clients involved , the rates that I charge versus the rates other companies charge and the amount of work involved...

...Kenisha Ashley Sociology Discussion Board 2 Cashews are a member of the Anacardiaceous family along with mango, pistachios, poison ivy, and poison oak. The family contain 73 genera and about 600 species anticardium contains 8 species native to tropical America of which the cashews is by far the most important economical. Cashews are one of the few fruits crops normally grown from seed and few improved cultures exist at least in commercial production. Cashews are now the #1 tree nut crops in the world. Average yields worldwide are about 600lbs/acre (Fruit-Crops.com). Planter Cashews was produced in 1906 which later partner with Kraft Foods they are transported from India as raw nuts which are then coated salted and package in house India is 7486 miles away. Vast movement of food can cause a problem because it allows nations to make error by transporting the movement of food. As a result people can become sick or suffer illness from wrong products which generally results in recalls of food. Then there can also be a benefit of the movement of food because it allows you to experience food from other nations which otherwise we would be able to experience without traveling to that nation and it also can produce great revenue for that nation when you purchase their goods. The benefit of buying locally is awesome because you receive fresh fruits and vegetables grown right in your area there and there are no additives in the fruits and vegetables because they are provided fresh...

...Grade Received, "A" Within healthcare, there are several types of abuse. Some of these types of abuse include: emotional and verbal abuse, financial abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse, psychological abuse, etc (Fremgen, 2012). Although abuse not only happens in the healthcare setting, I will be focusing on abuse in a hospital setting. In this assignment, I will focus on abuse in a mental hospital. This happens a lot more often than one would think. The type of abuse within the scenario I am about to present is sexual, physical, and psychological. A young woman is admitted into a mental hospital for depression, and she is beaten and raped by two of the orderly men that work there. Once the girl is released from the mental hospital, she becomes very depressed, and reaches out to local police to report the attack and rape. The police then become very concerned about her state of mind, and end up transferring her back to the same psychological facility. Once she arrives, she is restrained to the bed, and diagnosed as being suicidal. An ITO is ordered, and against her will, she is given medication. After she spends three weeks in this hospital, she is discharged to her parents; however, the treatment that she was given in the psychological facility is continued at her parent’s house as well. The girl begins to find it difficult to study her lessons, and her grades begin to go from As to Fs. The medication makes it hard for her to concentrate and comprehend her lessons...

...Grade Received, "A" Beliefs and values, norms, folkways, and mores, and subcultures are the basic elements of an organizational culture (Fottler, Ford, & Heaton, 2010). I feel that an employee should be fired if they do not meet the organization’s organizational culture. We all know that every individual has his/her own beliefs; however, if the person does not match the beliefs and values of the organization, problems can arise. If an organization says that they are focused on their consumers and when the employees interact with consumers they are rude and inconsiderate, the consumer may not return. I worked in a nursing home as a CNA for almost two years. Our patients all were elderly and had Down’s syndrome. Our organizational culture was to treat each patient with dignity and respect, as well as giving each patient their right to privacy. We were all trained on these beliefs, as well as all of the HIPAA rules. Our facility hired a young girl to work the floor as a CNA as well. I caught her making fun of one of our consumers with one of her friends. I turned her in, and she was fired on the spot, no questions asked. Like I stated before, I do believe that an employee should be terminated if they do not meet the organization’s culture. I also believe, however, that if the employee is trained properly, they should have a chance to get their attitudes in check. Once given that second chance, if they still do not meet the organization’s culture, then they should...

...to be pulled up. Unlike using a name as a primary key because there could be multiple people with the same name in the database with multiple different properties so this would not work as a primary key. Part II Consider the example of the states of the United States and the senators of the United States. If you consider the set of states as a domain and the set of senators as a range, you can establish a relation based on associations between the senators and the states. This relation would not be a function because each state corresponds to more than one senator. However, if you reverse the roles of the domain and range, then the relation is a function because each senator is associated with only one state. Make up your own example of 2 real-world sets – each with more than one element – and describe how the elements of the different sets can be paired, such that * if one set is considered the domain and the other the range, then the relation is not a function, and * if the roles (domain and range) of the two sets are reversed, then the relation is a function. Part II A{Feline, Canine, Reptile} B{African Lion, Domestic Cat, Coyote, Labrador Retriever, Snapping Turtle, Alligator} This is a relation because A has multiple relations within B,...

...In the play Everyman, death is personified and treated as an agent of God that goes to visit the plays protagonist, Everyman. The unknown author of the play uses Death as a character to present a very real truth that all people will meet death. Death is an antagonist in the play and represents physical death. The word "death" grabs people's attention because it is a strong word. It is a loaded, often offensive, intense word and it reflects a reality every human will one day have to realize. The author understands death's implications and uses it to draw the reader in. In the play Everyman, the character Death is presented by the author as an allegorical representation of physical death and the reader finds that Death is under God's control, brings conviction, and will visit everyone. In Everyman the character Death is viewed as submissive to God's will and under His command. Since the play is a morality play, the characteristics of Death are viewed as the same as a human's physical death. In the Literature Criticism from 1400 to 1800, the author brings to attention that "[t]he themes in Everyman are strongly reflected in the allegorical characters which populate the work." The play opens up with "[h]ere beginneth a treatise how the High Father of Heaven sendeth Death to summon every creature to come and give an account of their lives in this world, and is in manner of a moral play." In Everyman, Death is merely a carrier and transporter for God. From the beginning of the play...

...Financial ratios are significant in terms of comprehending how a business is doing financially. My co-workers and I are working for a finance business and we have been talking about the advantages of the different financial ratios. Our job is to name four different financial ratios and why they are significant to both banks and investors. The business that I have chosen to discuss is the Coca-Cola Company. As I was investigating their Website as well as the investors’ part of the Website, I came across Coca-Cola’s financial documents for 2008. The documents that I came across included: income statements, balance sheets, as well as the cash flow statements. While calculating the market value ratio for Coca-Cola, the P.E. ratio is 22.02, and the market to book value ratio is simply a scope of how costly stocks are (Brooks, 2010) (Financial Statements, n.d.). The larger that the price earnings ratio is, the more we have to pay for every dollar earned. The larger the market to book value is, the more we have to pay for every dollar of equity we have written on a balance sheet. As stated before, the price earnings ratio was 22.02 (Financial Statements, n.d.). This demonstrates that Coca-Cola is expanding a lot quicker than their competition. Due to the market to book value being 6.61, Coca-Cola can have an idea of how advantageous they are, and whether or not they are using their assets wisely (Financial Statements, n.d.). Next, I will discuss Coca-Cola’s profitability...

...The URL address to the ad that I will be discussing is: http://advertisementfun.blogspot.com/2011/06/sprite-ice-blue.html The advertisement that I have chosen is for the beverage Sprite Ice Blue. This is a new product recently created by Sprite. I feel that the intent of this advertisement is to satisfy a need, or in this case, the consumer need for a cold thirst-quenching beverage (Lambing & Kuehl, 2007) (Sprite Ice Blue, 2011). I feel that the advertisement was alright, and that it would grab the attention of the consumer that saw the ad. I feel that the ad is effective because it depicts a young female that seems to be frozen and happy all at the same time. This shows consumers that drinking Sprite Ice Blue is cool, cold, and exciting to our taste buds (Sprite Ice Blue, 2011). This Sprite Ice Blue ad targets the teenage to young adult generations. The lifestyle for these generations is usually easy-going and fun-filled. With an ad like this, the targeted social class would more than likely vary. I feel like it would target both the middle and lower classes. I don’t see the upper class people paying much attention to an ad of this nature. The persuasive technique being used in the ad is humor as well as shock appeal. When I first saw the ad, I actually laughed out loud. This ad shows a female that is frozen solid and sticking her blue tongue out. The shock appeal is the way that the female looks, and the humorous part is that she is frozen and is sticking out...

...Washington State may be well known for its camping. Fishing and its skiing in the mountain ranges or for the wide open space of the flat land, but Seattle and some of its businesses comes to everyone’s mind first. The two biggest companies from an employment point of view is Boeing and Microsoft, mainly due to the fact that there products are used by the largest group of people in the world. Out of those two companies’ the most well-known name is Bill Gates. Bill Gates came from a modest home in Seattle and while growing up he could of did what a lot of kids were doing back in those days, which was to follow in his father’s footsteps and became a lawyer, instead he went off in a totally different direction. After only two years of college he dropped out and with a friend by the name of Paul Allen, came up with an idea that someday would change the world. Bill and Allen put their heads together and came up with an idea that would make a computer as easy to work with as a one year old can work a spoon. Sure Bill didn’t invent the computer but his programs, software and eventually his games would be seen in just about every business and house hold around the world. As time went by a lot of small or medium business became bigger because computer became small and easier to use and you could communicate with each other and that meant more computers were needed and that meant more programs. Suddenly people were working at home and when the adults weren’t on the computer the...

...Christian circles? Consider examples from sermons, Bible studies, blogs, and your own personal use of the verse. I have heard this verse recited by church members, non-church members, popular TV shows, popular music, preachers, and even myself. People recite this verse as a way of explaining why movie stars squander their money or young pop stars who ruin their career with drugs, and extreme lifestyles. This also applies with TV evangelists who are caught misusing the funds that are sent to them from honest people. This saying is used when the ordinary citizen wins an election and goes to Washington, DC and gets caught taking bribes or misappropriating funds. Reading the newspaper reveals spouses killing one another over insurance money. 2. How should this verse be properly understood according to the author of The Most Misused Verses in the Bible? “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.” 1 Timothy 6:10 New International version. This verse is misquoted as: Money is the root of all evil. First of all money is not the root of all evil, sin is the root of all evil. Money is not evil. It is not bad to have money or to be rich. What is wrong is when a person is not happy with what they have, but has to have more money. That becomes the love of money and with that people will do anything to get more money. Money becomes their master and in their pursuit they walk away...

...Discussion Board Forum 2 Case Study Business Ethics Roger Charnock BUSI 561 Abstract Most people are committed to doing the right thing; however that is not always the case in business. Since the days of a formal handshake to close a deal, the contract has evolved into a complex process. Many years ago society believed in the power of the spoken word; thus the statement my word is my bond, however since the downfall of mankind in the garden mistrust and out right egregious acts to undermine the boundaries of right and wrong has become more prevalent, especially in business. Christians conducting business in this present business model have to protect themselves from individuals who are self-seeking and unscrupulous. This paper will look at one example of contracts, while maintaining your spirituality. Contracts “In the sweat of your face shall you eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you shall return” (Genesis 3:19 Amplified Bible). Since the days of Adam, society has tried to find an angle, something that will give them an advantage. While competition is good especially in the world of contracting, fair and reasonable is the oil that lubes the contracting wheel. Still this sense of right or wrong does not prevent poor contracts or unscrupulous dealings. The struggle for supremacy had its impetus with Cain and Abel. Jealousy and material gain will create irrational thoughts and entice someone to do...
