...Conducting an A/B test about the sign up section on the top banner. When customers enter the Pier 1 imports website, the sign up window pop-up in the center of the page. Customers can make the decision whether to sign up for the Pier 1 emails or not. However, if customers decided not sign up and close the window, it is hard to find the sign up section again if they change their minds. Customers need to go all the way down to the bottom of the website to find the sign up box. The bottom sign up banner does not contain the “10% off "information. Should there be a banner that shows the sign up for 10% off instead of having two free shipping banners on one page Will sign up numbers/subscribers and orders increase after changing the sign up location? Number of sign up: Moving the sign up section to the top of the page can generate more viewers. More viewers can bring more sign ups. Order numbers: Since the customers can get 10% off if they sign up for emails, the order numbers will increase if more users sign up for emails. Revenue and Return visitors: Since customers can get 10% off for their next purchase, customers will return to the site and make purchase again. Site conversion rate: The sign up banner could convince more visitors into buyers. Conducting an A/B test about adding options on the basket (mini cart).

...object is needed, such as if the sides not shown in the isometric drawing. It includes an isometric drawing plus the 2D views from each side of the object. This does not always mean three views. This object only needs two orthogonal views to fully explain it and provide every detail. There are two main methods of drawing orthographic projections. First angle projection is used in Europe and most of the world. However, America and Australia use third angle projections. 3 In a first angle drawing the object is placed in the first quadrant, with the horizontal plane underneath and the frontal plane behind. In a third angle drawing, the object is pace in the third quadrant, with the frontal plane in front and the horizontal plane above. 4 Assembly drawings or parts diagram contain all parts and sub-assemblies of a product that has more than one parts. It sometimes illustrates assembly at manufacturer-level. A BOM (bill of materials) is included on this drawing, containing each part number, name and quantity. This diagram is vital for engineers and technicians to ensure a full understanding of all the components inside a piece of equipment. 5 A wiring diagram is a drawing of an electrical circuit layout. It shows the fixtures, components and where the wires are connected to each other and to the system. It is used as a “map” during maintenance and repair. The symbols used in a wiring diagram are versions of the real-life components in the circuit. 6 Another diagram is the...

...After reading the note from the supervisor and inquiring about a room, I would make a list of the challenges that I have encountered and other considerations such as: - I have two hours to solve this challenge. - I can’t find any room available to hold the meeting in my office. - Do we need a projector and computer access in the room? - The photocopier will be down for the entire day on my floor, but I can call another department on another floor and check if I can use their photocopier. - If there are no photocopiers available, I would need to go to a stationary shop such as Office Depot to copy the documents on time. - I need money for professional copying. - If I change the location, I need to consider parking and advising the client of the change in locations. Is there paid parking? If I change the location can we contact the client in time or should the client still meet at our office? We can take the client to the new location; however, the client might have time restraints and this might extend our meeting time. - We don’t have a hospitality budget. Would my supervisor be willing to buy the client a cup of coffee? I advised my manager that I will check if I can use another department’s photocopier. While the documents are copying, I would quickly call the closest Federal Government office to see if I can book one of their meeting rooms. The closer the office the less time it will take to go to the meeting room, thus it will save parking costs because the client can still...

...Select each control in turn and using the Properties panel change the Name of the controls to myButton, myLabel and textInput respectively. The Form design is now complete and we can now begin to connect the events to event handlers. We will begin by defining an event procedure for the TextBox. To access the textInput control event procedures simply double click on the TextBox control in the Form. Visual Studio will subsequently display the event procedures for the textInput control. By default Visual Studio picks the most common event, the TextChanged event, and creates a stub of the subroutine to be called when that event is triggered by the user. In our example we want every keystroke performed by the user in the TextBox to be displayed by the Label control. In this case the TextChanged event is exactly the event we want. If, however, we had wanted to write the procedure for a different event on the TextBox we could simply click on the right-hand drop down menu above the code area to view and select from a list of events available on this type of control: With the TextChanged event still selected it is time to write the Visual Basic code that will be executed when the event is triggered. To do so, we will need to set the Text property of the myLabel control to equal the Text property of the textInput control. The properties of objects are accessed using what is called dot notation. For example the Text property of myLabel is accessed in Visual basic code as follows: myLabel...

...Implementation: To start implementation, we first must establish what we would like to answer through our application. The scenarios are as follows: 1. When one of the followers is disconnected, how does the leader respond to the missing follower? 2. When the leader of the quorum is disconnected, how does the remaining followers respond to the missing leader? 3. What happens when that disconnected leader comes back to the quorum? 4. When one of the nodes in the quorum is disconnected, would the Kafka messaging service still work? 5. If there is only one replica of a topic on a specific server, will that topic be available if its server goes down? For the first question, we first started by starting the Zookeeper service on every server. When all the service was up and running, Zookeeper uses the FastLeaderElection algorithm to elect a leader from the quorum. To double-check that we had a quorum, we ran the command on each server to get the status of the node: echo srvr | nc localhost 2181 grep Mode As you can see from the screenshot above, the second server became our leader while the other servers acknowledged the second server as the leader, so they became the followers. When we simulate...

...NT1330 Unit 4 Assignment 1. AD Design Replication Scenario AD Design Replication Scenario To whom it may concern: I am the IT Administrator for the company and I have been asked to give my recommendations for the Active Directory Replication Design of the two new Branches. The first I can recommend for you is that all the information that is needed for each new site is correctly documented and added to the Root Active Directory through the Active Directory sites and services. This is done because the Root AD automatically builds the inter-site replication topology based on the information provided about the new site connections. Each new site’s AD will have one each domain controller that is known as the inter-site topology generator and they are assigned to build the topology at their sites. To add two new branch offices we will need to find a strategy to design a replication process. To implement this we will need to use inter-site replication. Inter-site replication is needed when adding domain controllers located in different sites. We will also need a site link (Site link is a logical, transitive connection between two sites that allows replication to occur) protocol of Remote Procedure Call (RPC) over Internet Protocol (IP) which is the preferred choice for the replication process. This allows you to communicate with network services on various computers and also keep data secure when being transmitted by using both encryption and authentication...

...1. Your client has just informed you that your project budget has been cut by 20%, you have lost 2 project team members, and your project scope will remain the same. How do you respond to this new information? What type of project constraint(s) are you up against and what steps do you take to deal with this new information? The concept of triple constraints in a project means that the three constraints in the project are interdependent. Therefore, changes in the budget are likely to impact the other constraints such as scope and time of completion. Upon receiving the information about the budget cut and the reduced workforce because of the two project members leaving, my first step would be to evaluate the impact of the changes on other constraints in the project and calculate the cost of the remaining part of the project. Since the scope is to remain the same, this means that I would be against time and cost. Based on the information provided regarding the changes, my second step after the evaluation of the impact would be to inform other stakeholders of the changes and ask them to vote on the functionality of the products expected to be realized at the end of the project. (Carstens, Richardson, & Smith, 2013) The recommendations by other stakeholders would help me understand the importance of each of the products and budget the remaining funds and allocate them to the selected project divisions based on importance. In an event that there are changes in the project, Estimate...

...This paper will focus on configuring print document and service. Print and services enable to concentrate print server and network printer tasks. Which also scan and fax documents from the network. The print device is the hardware that produces hard copy documents on paper. Print services enable to share printers on a network. It also enables to migrate print servers and deploy printer connections using group policy. The print server is a computer device that receives print jobs from clients and sends them to print devices that are connected locally. Networks allow a printer connected to one computer to be shared with another computer on a local network. This requires the printer be connected to the computer and that computer running is connected to other devices. The host computer shares the printer by allowing other computers on the network to print through it over a local area network. Managing printer drivers Managing printer is an important part of running network printer in an organization. To update the printer drivers for a printer client computers automatically download and install the updated printer drivers to check the latest update, check job queue and errors. Determining how to restrict access to printers is an important part of print server administration. Administrators can perform print tasks implantation. This includes delegate print management tasks directly to users who are not system administrators and define printer security settings that are inherited •...

Lifting the last spoonful of 5YR 3/2 silty clay loam carefully into the dustpan with my trusty plastic spoon, I confidently declare the shallow, twisting tunnel I had spent the last 45 minutes meticulously excavating... a chipmunk hole. Likely constructed in the early 21st century. Strange though it may sound, this experience is one of my proudest moments. Sweat dripping down my nose from the humid Connecticut summer, back sore from countless hours hunched over screens, finding nothing in the small dustpan’s worth of dirt collected from the potential feature, I knew there was nothing I would rather do....

...The effects of EHRs will be on the duration and time utilization of follow-up outpatient, and inpatient consultations will be used as the measure of the operational impact of digitalized medical records. The effects of implementation of EHRs will be measured by comparing timings between query using traditional records with questions using electronic records. Also, the impacts of implementation of electronic health records will be measured by seeking views of healthcare professionals regarding benefits and obstacles of using digitalized records. A follow-up examination about the use of EHRs will be selected rather initial outpatient visits as the unit of measure because some patient would not have any pre-existing hospital medical record at their first consultation. Data collection tools to capture the impacts of post implementation of EHRs will also be measured to determine the efficiency of EHRs. Staff related administration will include time taken to fill chart full- filling lab outcome and consult notes, day visits, time spent in writing the chart, and time spent in doing billing. Physicians related clinical measures will include time spent analyzing lab results, time spent writing the chart, and time to consider the...
