...Unit 7 Billboard assignment My billboard is an ad for ISU Redbirds Men’s Basketball game on Saturday at 5 pm. It is also Retro night. The message in the ad is trying to make the community aware of the upcoming college game and what the theme is. They chose the color red as this is the color for the college. We are the Redbirds. They also have UNI on there which is who they are playing. The picture is of one of the basketball players. I don’t watch college basketball, but if someone does they may recognize him. The board had a very large font in white so it stands out against the red background. The size also catches the drivers attention. This is a digital billboard, so when it flips to this ad the red really stands out. The demographic segment is the community. I believe more so to the adults than the students. The college students already know about the game on campus. This is to help draw the regular community...

...Example of morality: Your example needs to be a paragraph, about 5-7 sentences long. Be sure to be specific, and explain how your definition shows what morality is/means to you. Please connect your definition to the philosophies on morality that we read about in the book. Definitions of happiness: this needs to be your own personal definition of happiness, but be sure to refer to the comments/suggestions I made to you in your Unit 7 project to help you in writing this definition. Don't forget to refer to the philosophies on happiness from the textbook. Are you a hedonist? An epicurean? A blend of various philosophies? Finally, identify a significant literary work, piece of visual art, a song, a film, and an item from popular culture. I encourage you to get creative and use examples that are not mentioned in the book! Anything goes, as long as you justify why you chose the particular work you did. I have had students write about classic literature and I have had students claim that Dr. Seuss is a significant author that everyone should read. You get the idea! Just be sure to explain how each of your examples define or exemplify 20th – 21st century culture. Why do you feel like what you have chosen is important? The best projects relate your choices to your definitions of morality and happiness. This should not be just a series of paragraphs, but also an experiment in the Humanities. How does the book, the painting, the song, etc. that you chose help you make...

...In self-managed teams much of the responsibility and authority for making management decisions are turned over to a group of people who perform interdependently in order to accomplish an assigned task. Self-managed teams offer a number of potential advantages that could be used at Sandwich Blitz; including stronger commitment, employee and customer satisfaction, improved quality, enhanced efficiency, and faster product and service development. Nevertheless, there are some drawbacks, one in which self-managed teams are difficult to implement and they risk failure when used in inappropriate situations or without sufficient leadership or support. Some organizations have been disappointed with the results from self-managing teams. In the case of Sandwich Blitz, it could work to a certain extent, such as having the team members cross-trained to do various jobs which probably would increase the flexibility of the team in dealing with personnel shortages and some of the “little fires”, Dalman had to put out. Therefore, implementing Dalman’s and Lei’s knowledge of work processes with the teams would help the team members solve problems and develop improvements; it would also probably help lower any absenteeism that may have existed in the past, which would make available some of Dalman’s and Lei’s time. However, Dalman would have to select team members in which he would feel comfortable with, the latitude of issues that would need to be handled, and the continued existence of the...

...Ethical Issues within Interpersonal communication Kimberly Layfield Kaplan University Interpersonal Communication Erin Berman 1. Identify three quotes from the dialogue that show how Bryce progressed in ethically identifying his emotions. The first quote from the dialogue that shows how Bryce progressed in identifying his emotions is “After a year of applying, interviewing, and jumping through all of the hoops, I finally realized nothing I did mattered. I just couldn’t take another rejection. The bottom line is, no one wants me.” The second quote from the dialogue that shows how Bryce progressed in identifying his emotions is “I don’t know. I think they might leave me. We’ve run through our savings. We’re behind on the mortgage. I’m going to lose everything. I feel bad, but I can’t do anything about it.” The third quote from the dialogue that shows how Bryce progressed in identifying his emotions is “Really? What did you do? I mean, I know you moved away.” 2. Identify and explain, using concepts from the text, at least one example of an obstacle to communicating emotions in the situation. One example of an obstacle to communicating emotions in this situation can be self-protection. Bryce says that he hasn’t wanted to talk to anyone in a while which may indicate that he may not want to express his feelings because he doesn’t want others to have information that could affect how they perceive or act towards him (Wood, 2012). 3.

...Unit 7 Assignment 1: AD Password Policy Planning TO: Client I can understand you’re concerned with your company’s security after all information on competitors can be invaluable or very harmful to a company and this is why it must be protected from prying eyes. This does not have to mean that you have to lose productivity over trying to secure your networks information. I’m going to give you some tips on how to better secure your network with the tools that you already have at hand, keep in mind that you can also buy better security items to better protect you network things like; smart card, finger print scanners, and retinal scanners. I only recommend these for really sensitive information and only for certain users in your company. On the server that is the DC log in to the administrator account and in the “Active Directory Users and Computers” in the Domain icon in the left pane click on the “Users” icon, you’ll be able to see all of the users in that domain. From here you can click on any user and make changes as necessary, for user names I recommend you use the following format; using capital and lower case letters the first letter of their name, their whole last name and their employee number, if someone tried to hack the account and all that they knew was the person name and the domain name they could not get in because it is very unlikely that they would know that person employee number and if they do then you have a spy in your company. As for passwords I recommend...

...Unit 7 Assignment Justin Sinko AB299: Associates Capstone in Management Prof: David J Young 6/30/13 The world’s top country for producing coffee beans is Brazil. I choose them because why not get coffee beans from the world best coffee bean country. The country has held this position for over 150 years of being the top producer of coffee beans. Coffee plantations cover almost 10,000 sq mi of land. They harvest these beans in the southern part of the country where it is ideal for growing the beans. Brazil started growing coffee beans at the start of the 18th century and became the top producer. Brazil provides 80% of the world’s coffee today. The economical advantages to working with a company from Brazil are that the entire product that is unprocessed is duty free to the United States with an agreement. This helps bring the cost down when purchasing the coffee beans. Since coffee is the second imported commodity behind oil in the United States it makes it more important to get the coffee beans from Brazil who produces the finest and riches coffee in the world. Also you will never need to worry about shortages since this country produces Brazil coffee vendors must follow the fair trade act in order to produce coffee beans to be sold in the United States. This means they grow the coffee beans organic or semi organic without using harmful chemicals. There will be a market advantage by dulvaging in the Brazil coffee beans because they grow the most coffee so you will...

...Refraction, Reflection and Optics ITT Technical Institute Physical Networking – NT1310 11/10/2014 Refraction, Reflection and Optics Refraction The most common real life example used when discussing refraction is a straw in water. When a straw is placed in a glass of water and viewed from the side, it appears to be broken or bent. This is due to the difference in the refractive indices of air and water. Since water is denser than air, the straw appears to bend as the light it reflects is slowed by the density of the water. This phenomenon also makes submerged objects, such as fish look closer to the surface than they actually are. Another common example is a rainbow, where sunlight is refracted by raindrops. Sunlight consists of a mixture of different wavelengths, or colors, of light, with blue, for example, having a shorter wavelength than red. When this light passes through raindrops, the shorter wavelengths are bent more than the longer ones, splitting the light into its different colors. Reflection Pretty much everything you see could be considered reflection. The fact we can see is due to light reflecting off of objects and into our eyes. A good example, I guess, is the moon. When it glows at night that is just light from the sun reflecting onto the Moon's surface, and bouncing back, giving it that glow. Degradation of signal strength in fiber-optic transmission Some of the main factors that cause degradation are electromagnetic fields, heat, quality of fiber...

...Throughout sixth and seventh grade, I have worked hard to maintain averages in all my classes which allowed me to earn High Honors throughout both years. It is always my goal to earn straight A’s, and I always do. I’ve received straight A+’s sometimes as well. I always try my best in school and do the best work that I can on everything, even in the classes that I don’t love or find particularly interesting. I always do the homework and projects that are assigned and hand them in on time even if it means putting schoolwork over something else that I would rather be doing, like hanging out with my friends. I study hard for every test and quiz so that I can get a good grade to raise my average. I always work hard in school because I know that it will help me later in life and I want to put my best foot forward. One of my favorite things that I do is participate in the Peer Tutoring program. I was chosen and trained to be a Peer Tutor in sixth grade and in seventh grade, my friend asked me to help her in math. I helped her raise her average from nearly failing to a B+ and still help her to maintain the high average. I enjoy doing this because I like helping my friend and I like knowing that something good is coming out of what I am doing. I am a member of Tri-M. Not only do I work hard at my schoolwork, but I also try to practice my violin often to maintain a high average in orchestra. I was also a member of the cross country team in sixth grade and the soccer team in seventh...

...Assignment 7 Siddhant Sharma 2013160 a) Division of Assignment In Assignment 6, we used an ADC to convert values that the LDR and NTC thermistor measured and make LEDs light up according to the particular threshold values. Here, we are required to take a user driven input from the terminal, check if the input is valid, and then see whether the LED light from the LDR or NTC is on or off. We do this using a UART library. We connect the MCU via a cable to a serial USB port, here : USB0. For taking an input from the terminal, we use a command called screen. Screen takes an argument for the port that the Arduino Microcontroller is connected to. In this case, it is USB0, therefore, command : screen /dev/ttyUSB0. Proper communication between...

...Unit 1 Assignment: Homework 1. Why is the CPU the most important component in a computer? A. The CPU sends signals to control the other parts of the computer, almost like how a brain controls a body. The CPU is an electronic machine that works on a list of things to do, called 'instructions'. It reads the list of instructions and does each one in order. A list of instructions that a CPU can run is a computer program. 2. What number does a bit that is turned on represent? What number does a bit that is turned off represent? A. When a bit is turned on it represents a 1, when a bit is turned off it represents a 0. 3. What would you call a device that works with binary data? A. A device that works with binary data is called digital data. 4. What are the words that make up a high-level programming language called? A. The words that make up a high-level programming are called key words or reserved words. 5. What are the short words that are used in assembly language called? A. Short words that are used in assembly language are called Nmeumonics. 6. What is the difference between a compiler and an interpreter? A. A compiler translates a high-level language program into a spate machine language program. An interpreter both translates and executes the instructions of a high level program. 7.

...PT2520 Database Concept Unit 7 Research Assignment 1. What are the advantages of a declarative language as opposed to a procedural language? ANSWER: The advantage of declarative programming languages is mainly two-fold. The programs are concise; this makes it easy even for non-programmers to obtain solutions. In the SQL example above, an analyst or business support person can get the desired information. Similarly, laypersons can write acceptable web pages with simple HTML and CSS commands. The second advantage of the declarative programming model is that repetitive imperative code that indicates how to solve things is provided in the computer system behind the scenes. Such code can be made highly efficient and can incorporate the best ideas from computing. It can take advantage of parallelism 2. What advantages might a procedural language have over a declarative language? ANSWER: Procedural programming is used for developing simple applications. The languages that use the procedural programming methodology include Pascal and C languages. Some of the benefits of the procedural programming methodology are: (1) Easy to read program code. (2) Easy maintainable program code as various procedures can be debugged in isolation. (3) Code is more flexible as you can change a specific procedure that gets implemented across the program. 3. Why do you think cross joins are allowed as a legitimate join? What uses can you see for joins? ANSWER: I think that a cross-join would...
