...PROCEDURES FOR CONDUCTING PRACTICAL ICT TESTS The Supervisor A suitably competent supervisor, who may be the candidates’ tutor, is responsible for the administration of the practical tests according to these instructions. The supervisor is responsible for the preparation of the hardware and software for the test. Timetabling of the Practical Tests CIE does not timetable the practical tests in the same way as most IGCSE and AS & A Level written papers. The IGCSE and AS & A Level timetable will specify a period within which candidates must take the two practical tests for each syllabus. Within this period, Centres may conduct the practical tests at any convenient time or times. Candidates must complete each practical test in a single session. Wherever possible, candidates from the same Centre should sit their assessment at the same time. If more than one session is necessary to accommodate all candidates, these sessions should follow on from each other. However, Centres do not need to sequester candidates until other candidates have taken the test. When arranging examination dates, Centres should take into account the time needed to set up the system and should allow contingency planning (e.g. to reschedule examination times due to possible hardware failure) wherever possible. Preparation for the Practical Tests Before the candidates take a practical test, the supervisor must work through a past/specimen paper, using the hardware and software that the candidates will be using...

...This customer data file is for 60,000 customer records in the restaurant category. Clean up the data: As with most customer data files, there is incomplete information. Address how you handle incomplete data. (I suggest completely eliminating records in Acquisition Channel with “NULL” or “Uncategorized”.) Also eliminate any records with blank in Ethnicity. Note in Ethnicity African-Americans is also coded as Afr. Am. so these two should be combined. In Age of Kids there are cells coded as Pre-teen &? I suggest combining with “Age Mix” or “Preteen & Teenagers”. After cleaning up the file, we are left with 26,352 records which should still be an adequate sample size.) Questions for analysis: 1. Calculate the profitability of each customer. Assume the average Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) for all vouchers (with promotional discounts factored in) is 20% of the total revenue. Assume the average one-time Cost per Acquisition (CPA) for each channel is: $12 for Advertising, $10 for Affiliate, $5 for Email, $8 for ILS, $7 for Paid Search and $5 for Social Media. Assume there are no additional costs. You may find the Excel VLOOKUP function helpful for this (https://support.office.com/en-sg/article/VLOOKUP-function-0bbc8083-26fe-4963-8ab8-93a18ad188a1). 2. What does the “average” ECB.com customer look like? Is the “average” customer desirable or undesirable? Why? 3. Describe each segment (new, engaged, lapsed, inactive). How much revenue does each segment...

...Introducing Transaction Log Files Each SQL Server 2000 database has at least one transaction log file and can have multiple transaction log files spread across a number of disks. Each transaction log file is a separate operating system file and is used by only one database. Each transaction log file generally has the .ldf filename extension (this extension is not required). Each transaction log has a logical filename that is used in Transact-SQL statements and a physical filename that is used by the Windows operating system. Additional file properties include the file ID number, initial file size, file growth increment (if any), and maximum file size. Unlike data files that contain pages, transaction log files contain a series of transaction log records. A sequential log sequence number (LSN) identifies each transaction log record. Regardless of the number of physical log files, SQL Server 2000 treats the transaction log as one continuous log. SQL Server 2000 logically divides each physical transaction log file into a number of virtual log files (VLFs). The number and size of virtual log files are determined dynamically based on the size of each transaction log file. Each transaction log file has at least two VLFs. Each growth increment (if any) is treated as a separate physical file with its own VLFs. The number or size of VLFs cannot be configured or set directly by the database administrator. SQL Server 2000 tries to maintain a small number of virtual file logs because it operates...

...David Camp Assignment 8 Securing Remote Access File share access - A user connects to file shares in the school domain through the use of a standard Penn supported web browser. Domain authentication information is passed from the secure appliance to school Domain Controllers. All NTFS domain account settings and file share permissions are in effect for each user logon through the SRA realm. Authentication and file share traffic back and forth between the user web browser and the secure remote access appliance traverses the network encrypted. Traffic between the Domain Controller and the secure appliance is encrypted through the use of a hardware Firewall VPN tunnel. This option offers a user a secure way to access folder and files on a department server from anywhere. Remote Desktop to a user workstation plus file share access - Like the file share access option, the same link (https://sra.tss.isc.upenn.edu/schoolname) is used to initiate logon and authentication to the school realm for access to Remote Desktop through the use of a standard Penn supported web browser. Domain Authentication works the same as in option one. Once authenticated a user has access to their RDP profile and file share access on to the department server. The RDP user profile is configured to provide access to individual workstation. The screen size and resolution, local drive and printer mapping can also be defined if needed. This option offers a user a secure way to remote desktop to their workstation...

...When attending school, one of the first steps you learn is to be organized. Being organized applies not only to your daily life, but to your computer as well. While you are in school, you will write papers, complete spreadsheets, and do presentations for all of the classes you take. After a few classes, you will notice that you have quite a few files. These will be the papers that you turned in as assignments, various rough drafts, and different versions of the items you completed for all of your classes. This can eventually add up to hundreds of files. A good file management system is necessary to organize your files. A file management system is made up of files and file folders. You can copy, delete, rename, and move these files and folders around as you like. For this lab, you will create a file management structure for you. You will follow the steps listed below to create this file structure. After you create this file structure, you will create a screenshot using Print Screen, or you will use the Snipping Tool that is in Windows 7. This will create a copy of your file structure that you can then paste into a Word document that you will turn in. Please refer to the Web resources section for help with creating a screenshot. You will begin this lab by doing the following: * Step 1: Right-click on the Windows Start button, and open Windows Explorer. * Step 2: Go to My Documents. * Step 3: Under My Documents, create a folder named "(your first name your last name)...

... The evidence used by the author to support his argument is the cost of getting a online degree are relatively inexpensive compared to traditional college. For example, “in state online undergraduate completion degree offered by the East Carolina University costs only $99 per credit hour which is a base of $1200 a year” (Chaffee, p.92, para 2). And the author also believes that the price will “only dive in coming decades as more universities compete and entrepreneurial colleges remix online material and match it with online instruction by poorly paid graduate students and part time instructors” (Chaffee, p, 92, para 2). In my experience with taking online courses it seems as if the cost is more expensive than if you were to attend school. If I was given the opportunity to ask the author a question regarding the article, I would want...

...watching Schindler's List again, but when the mood strikes, one should watch that film. So here is an essay that I wrote a couple of months ago for school, which is all about film piracy and why I'm against it. The essay managed to get an extremely high excellence. See how different my writing is when I'm at school compared to when I'm blogging (if I seem to be over-exaggerating a lot this is because I'm just trying to get my point across, as I am supposed to be writing this essay for a 'school magazine'): In 1927, the first sound movie, called The Jazz Singer, was made. After years of silence on film, finally someone had successfully combined talking and music with what was happening on screen. This was the first of many cinematic milestones achieved through advancing technology. Since then there have been several introductions: Technicolour, Cinemascope, 3D, and even a brief trial with Aromascope...all of these opportunities used to try make cinema-going a more involving experience. However, advancing technology has also had a negative effect on the film industry. Since videos have become a form of watching a movie, film piracy has slowly become a huge problem, but even more so since the internet has become more powerful. Internet film piracy has become a global epidemic. As internet usage has expanded and there is now a lot more space to download and share files, pirates have been using this to their advantage. In January 2011, Envisional was commissioned by NBC Universal to analyse the amount...

...Briefcases explode with professional journals, pay stubs and calendars. School backpacks unload children's artwork, meeting notices and sports schedules. Paper clutter costs money, time and stress. A missing permission slip derails the entire family on the way out the door. Hide-and-seek bills lead to late payment fees. Lose the roster, and it's back to the Yellow Pages each time you need to contact the soccer car pool. Without a plan for paper management, a household can drown in a rising tide of paper. Take back your time with these simple tips to pull the plug on paper clutter: Easy as ABC Efficient paper management is easy as ABC: action, basic and classic file systems. An ABC household filing system will sort paperwork at the source, allow users to find documents easily, and maintain and retrieve important papers in the future. An ABC household filing system includes: Action File: a tabletop file for daily, short-term filing. Use an action file to organize bills for payment, papers that require response, and information that must be filed. Basic Files: a household's working file system. Kept in a file cart, cabinet or drawer, basic files hold medical insurance records, credit card statements, rent receipts and bank statements. Use basic files for routine activities like bill paying, tax files, medical information and home maintenance. Classic Files: archives for long-term file storage. Copies of tax returns and insurance policies, homeowners' records...

...and any other kind of computer files that could be beneficial. Each week there are more than one billion downloads of music files alone. Participation in file sharing has also grown. Over 60 million Americans above the age of twelve have downloaded music (Ipsos-Reid, 2002b). File sharing is heavily linked to youth. While a majority of Americans under 18 years old have downloaded and half of those are heavy users, only a fifth of those aged 35-44 have downloaded files (Edison Media Research, 2003). Among U.S. adults at least 18 years old, the number of downloaders has about doubled since 2000 (Pew Internet Project, 2000 and 2003). Because physical distance is largely irrelevant in file sharing, individuals from virtually every country in the world participate. When peers download, they don't all download from one place. Millions of peers around the world are connected and they download files off of each other's computer. Popular networks are Kazaa, WinMX, Limewire, Morpheus, Frostwire and many more. Downloading files is free, but many people are confused that it would be stealing. The RIAA (Record Industry Association of America) had announced that it is stealing, but people won’t stop. Peers know that P2P programs still exist and they keep on trading, sharing and downloading. "Music Industry Officials estimate that they have lost more than $300 million worth of CD sales due to free Internet trading" For this, they say trading MP3's (music files) is stealing.
