...Riki Shafier Professor Kimberlee Hoftiezer SOS-110 24 January 2016 Music Education: A Personal Journey For the past few years I have been taking different courses, learning many things and preparing myself for the life ahead of me. As a soon-to-be college graduate, the future beckons, bright and inviting. There are endless career opportunities that await those who have put forth the effort to receive an education. The career goals toward which I am currently preparing are to become a highly sought-after piano teacher and piano-teacher trainer with a full roster of students, complete with a waiting list for those who wish to join my studio. I plan to build a fully- developed business model for my piano studio. This plan will include curricula for various ages and skill levels, as well as plans for accommodating specific needs of individual students. The plan will also have processes for the acceptance and rejection of potential students, registration and payment options, and online booking opportunities. This will be optimized through the use of technology. Technology, in all its many forms, has transformed the world we live in, and I anticipate that it will prove to be of great use to me in the development of my career goals. In the short-term, I will be able to train under experienced piano educators and teacher-trainers via Skype lessons and workshops, and use various training software programs to improve my technical and teaching skills. Additionally, I plan to...

No part of this publication may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system, or transmitted in any form or by any means, electronic, mechanical, recording or otherwise, without the prior written permission of Charles E. Cook. Manufactured in the United States of America. Preface You will find this book to be somewhat unusual. Most computer science texts will begin with a section on the history of computers and then with a flurry of definitions that are just “so many words” to the average student. My approach with Blue Pelican Java is to first give the student some experience upon which to hang the definitions that come later, and consequently, make them more meaningful. This book does have a history section in Appendix S and plenty of definitions later when the student is ready for them. If you will look at Lesson 1, you will see that we go right to work and write a program the very first day. The student will not understand several things about that first program, yet he can immediately make the computer do something useful. This work ethic is typical of the remainder of the book. Rest assured that full understanding...

...Researching Variable Naming Rules Visual Basic You must use a letter as the first character. You can't use a space, period (.), exclamation mark (!), or the characters @, &, $, # in the name. Name can't exceed 255 characters in length. Generally, you shouldn't use any names that are the same as the functions, statements, and methods in Visual Basic. You end up shadowing the same keywords in the language. To use an intrinsic language function, statement, or method that conflicts with an assigned name, you must explicitly identify it. Precede the intrinsic function, statement, or method name with the name of the associated type library. For example, if you have a variable called Left, you can only invoke the Left function using VBA.Left. You can't repeat names within the same level of scope. For example, you can't declare two variables named age within the same procedure. However, you can declare a private variable named age and a procedure-level variable named age within the same module. Python Must begin with a letter (a - z, A - B) or underscore (_) Other characters can be letters, numbers or _ Case Sensitive Can be any (reasonable) length There are some reserved words which you cannot use as a variable name because Python uses them for other things.- See more at: http://www.w3resource.com/python/python-variable.php#sthash.5AXuVlWN.dpuf Java Variable names are case-sensitive. A variable's name can be any legal identifier — an unlimited-length...

...Visual Basic – Messages and data input/output Introduction One way for a user to communicate with a procedure is via a dialogue box. The easiest way to do this in VB is to use one of the pre-defined ones. VB has two kinds, a Message box and an Input box. Message box The MsgBox function displays a message, waits for the user to click a button and returns a value indicating which button has been chosen. The simplest MsgBox contains only a message string and an OK button. The general syntax is MsgBox(prompt [,buttons] [,title]), where the quantities within [] are optional arguments, with prompt: string expression displayed in the message (max length 1024 characters) buttons: numerical expression that is sum of values specifying the type of buttons to display, title: string expression displayed in the title bar. Some of the button values are given below. (For a full list see the Help file). Value Constant Display 0 vbOKOnly OK button only 1 vbOKCancel OK and Cancel buttons 3 vbYesNoCancel Yes, No and Cancel buttons 4 vbYesNo Yes and No buttons 32 vbQuestion Query icon 48 vbExclamation Warning message icon 0 vbDefaultButton1 First button is default 256 vbDefaultButton2 Second button is default 512 vbDefaultButton3 Third button is default The value returned by the MsgBox function depends on the button pressed. Some values are listed below. Button selected Value Constant OK 1 vbOK Cancel 2 vbCancel Yes 6 vbYes No 7 vbNo The MsgBox function can be used as a simple debug tool. To...

...Kelli Okuly PT1420 Unit 2 Research Assignment 12-5-2014 Variable naming conventions vary from program to program. In Visual Basic the variable must begin with a letter and you cannot use a space, period (.), or the characters !, @, &, $, # in the name. Visual Basic variable names must be under 255 characters long. You shouldn't use any names that are the same as the functions, statements, and methods in Visual Basic. You end up shadowing the same keywords in the language. To use a basic language function, statement, or method that conflicts with an assigned name, you must explicitly identify it. Precede the fundamental function, statement, or method name with the name of the associated type library. For example, if you have a variable called “Left”, you can only use the “Left” function using “VBA.Left”. In Python, variables must begin with a letter or underscore (_). Other characters can be letters, numbers, or the underscore. Python variables are case sensitive and can be any length, within reason. There are several keywords in Python that are reserved for other functions and cannot be used as variables. For example; print, def, from, not, and return. Variables in Java are referred to as Identifiers. In Java the variable must begin with a letter, an underscore, or a dollar sign ($) although a letter is typically what is used. The other characters may be letters or numbers, no spaces or special characters are allowed. Java identifiers can be any length within...

As with most offices now communication is usually handled via e-mail. When you start having issues like we were, there is only one way to handle this and that is for everyone to be face to face. So if there are any issues they can be resolved immediately. Attorney offices can become very hectic at times, trying to meet deadlines and had the financial aspects as well. The main reason why communication was effective in the meeting was because all of us involved were able to avoid any communication barriers.

...Craked.com – 6 ways Society Brainwashes You In this article, 5 different methods of social engineering are explored. The first is “Chanting Slogans”. This is considered a method of brainwashing because when chanting a repetitive slogan, the repetitive task keeps your brain busy, instead of considering what has just been said by the analytical part of your brain. This is often used in political stump speeches and conventions with live audiences. The second method mentioned is “Slipping things into your Subconscious”. A sly technique used by headline writers to place and reinforce a certain idea in the reader’s head without them noticing. Also called “Source Amnesia” this method exploits the brain’s weak capacity to remember things, but not remember the context in which we learned them. The third process of social engineering the author considered was “Keeping You in Line with Shame”. This involves the “appeal to ridicule fallacy” where the speaker ridicules his/or her opponent’s point, and thus the listener is more likely to agree, in fear of being on the side of the ridicule. The fourth method analyzed is called “Black and White choices”. The psychology behind this is that when people are in debate, they paint an idea or person or place as all bad or all good. Therefore, people are less likely to consider the multiple complex layers of an idea if it is wholly labeled as “bad”. The last and final method is “Us versus Them”. This is the idea that humans naturally form groups within...

...Organizational Behavior Terminology and Concepts MGT/307 August 28, 2011 Organizational behavior or otherwise known as OB, offers organizations and its managers knowledge and understanding of how individuals and groups interrelate within an organization with the understanding and studying of behaviors. This insight better prepares and provides comprehension to organizations assisting in the enhancing the dynamics within both individuals and group behaviors. Organizational behaviors have enabled a more scientific approach in understanding the relationships between employees and managers and its link in terms of behavioral and social sciences. OB’s approach in terms of observable aspects are reliant on scientific methods using models, which link independent and dependent variables and the relative outcomes among the two applied any discovered theories of interest. Researched methods used in organizational behaviors include meta-analysis, field, laboratory, survey, and case studies, (Schermerhorn, Hunt, & Osborn, 2008). These methods are applied in efforts to develop new means of understanding of how people within companies affect dependent variables and how companies can implement changes in creating a difference. An evidence-based thinking method used in OB called the contingency approach...

...Organizational Behaviors Mgt/307 May 10, 2012 Organizational Behaviors The internal environment of an organization influences practices of strong beliefs and standards of its members. These shared behaviors are associated with organizational culture. An organization cultures is also defined by exhibiting resilient of cultures values that strengthens the organizations goals.
