What did you learn about the communication process from this activity? * This was my first project with PCI controls with a client who was being acquired by another company. PCI controls are very specific and detailed. I was chosen for this project for my attention to detail and understanding of network devices, routers, firewalls etc. * Through detailed, verbal meetings with Company X network team, it was determined all network devices monitored and audited by (X) were PCI compliant. Therefore I began completion of each sample documentation examples requiring the review of network device configurations as complete. The verbiage read as “All audits and controls are compliant by Company X. No further documentation required. * The manager...

...Assignment 1.1 Bellevue University MKMC 466 Lavar Goodwin August 21, 2015 1. Identify and compare trends in today’s global business management, challenges, and advantages working in overseas markets. Support your views. Global Management, as defined by learned.org, refers to the way an organization manages its business internationally, including its sales, marketing, hiring and finance practices” (2015, P.1). It involves company policy integration, so the organization can operate efficiently throughout the world. There are many trends that are developing in the international business market. The main trends developing in global management, as noted by The World Economic Forum, are as follows: Deepening income equality, persistent jobless growth and lack of leadership (2015). Deepening income inequality deals with the wide financial gap between the rich and the poor. “In developed and developing countries alike, the poorest half of the population often controls less than 10% of the wealth” (Mohammed, 2015, p. 3). While world economic growth is developing at a healthy pace, the growth disparity still remains, especially in underdeveloped countries and countries listed low in the Human Development Index (HDI). Persistent jobless growth “refers to the phenomenon in which economies exiting recessions demonstrate economic growth while merely maintain - or, in some cases, decreasing – their level of employment” (Summers, 2015, P. 1). It is a trend that deals with the advancements...

...I was at work one day and the phone rang. I answered; it was a carry out order. The lady over the phone ordered 100 wings extra crispy. Normally when people order extra crispy, they prefer them without the breading, so that’s the way I put the order in. She came to pick the order up; the order was wrong because she wanted breaded wings. 1. Who was the sender? Customer 2. Who was the receiver? Me (employee) 3. What was the message? Breaded wings extra crispy 4. What channel was used? Telephone 5. What was the misunderstanding? I assumed the customer wanted naked wings based on previous experience, when she indeed wanted not breaded. 6. How could the misunderstanding be avoided? The situation could have been avoided by me not assuming when she ordered extra crispy meant not breaded. 1. It is important not to assume what someone wants. Be sure to ask if unsure about anything because mix ups can occur. Some may be harder to fix then others. 2. The main cause of the misunderstanding was me making the assumption based on previous orders. The customer never said she wanted not breaded, there for I should have asked if I was unsure. A family was sitting at a table, the server kept messing up on little things, like forgetting straws, or extra napkins. The parents at the table found everything and anything to complain about. I noticed they were giving their serve a hard time, so I decided to go over and help her out with the table. I took over the table for her...

...Exercise 1.1 Personal Choices in Decision Making Nicole Shafer University of the Potomac Negotiations Management (MGMT424) Sunday, February 21, 2016 (Tuesday, February 23, 2016) Will Walker Abstract Part one talks about the instructions of the exercise and my opinion towards it. The reason for choosing the answers that I did for each choice set. Part two talks about the scoring and categorizing myself under the individualistic column and why. The agreement with the scoring placement and what individualistic and individualism is. The third part talks about the management style of individualistic and the perspective of the employee and the manager. Exercise 1.1 Personal Choices in Decision Making Part 1 Making Personal Choices In the first part of the exercise you are given nine choices and you are to pick from A, B, or C options. The points represent something of value to you – each point is valuable to you, and so, the more points you accumulate the better for you. The same holds true for the other person: the more points the other person accumulates, the better for him or her. The other person would be considered an opponent but you have control over the amount of points the opponent receives and the amount you receive. I felt the exercise was strange because I had the influence over the amount of points I would receive and the amount of points the opponent would receive. I chose a lot of the choices in my favor because in the end I had the ultimate decision...

...Diagnostic Algebra Assessment Definitions Categories Equality Symbol Misconception Graphing Misconception Definition Concept of a Variable Misconception Equality Symbol Misconception As algebra teachers, we all know how frustrating it can be to teach a particular concept and to have a percentage of our students not get it. We try different approaches and activities but to no avail. These students just do not seem to grasp the concept. Often, we blame the students for not trying hard enough. Worse yet, others blame us for not teaching students well enough. Students often learn the equality symbol misconception when they begin learning mathematics. Rather than understanding that the equal sign indicates equivalence between the expressions on the left side and the right side of an equation, students interpret the equal sign as meaning “do something” or the sign before the answer. This problem is exacerbated by many adults solving problems in the following way: 5 × 4 + 3 = ? 5 × 4 = 20 + 3 = 23 Students may also have difficulty understanding statements like 7 = 3 + 4 or 5 = 5, since these do not involve a problem on the left and an answer on the right. Falkner presented the following problem to 6th grade classes: 8 + 4 = [] + 5 All 145 students gave the answer of 12 or 17. It can be assumed that students got 12 since 8 + 4 = 12. The 17 may be from those who continued the problem: 12 + 5 = 17. Students with this misconception may also have difficulty with the idea that adding...

...Team B Calorie Count Tool PRG/211 May 5, 2014 Team B Calorie Count Tool PROBLEM STATEMENT Team B was asked to develop a program which would calculate the user’s daily intake of calories and measure those calories against the overall calories expended. The core purpose of this program will do two primary functions. First, it will record the user intake of calories as acquired through meals throughout the day. Second, the user will record caloric output associated with physical activity. This information will be calculated together to determine the caloric surplus or deficit for the user. In order for the program to execute accurately, and provide customized results, the user will be required to input personal data to include gender, age, weight, and height. This additional information is essential to determine the user’s default caloric burn rate, otherwise known as the basal metabolic rate (BMR). The BMR and the calories burned as a result of physical activity will be calculated against the intake of calories to determine the overall success for the user. As the program is executed it must: * Record user name, age, height, weight to enable more accurate calculations * Record the users specific caloric values entered for each meal * Record the user activity and caloric burn values for that activity * Calculate the basal metabolic rate (BMR) for the individual * Subtotal the total caloric values for the day * Combine the physical activity and...

...Selection statements Selection is used to select which statements are to be performed next based on a condition being true or false. Relational expressions In the solution of many problems, different actions must be taken depending on the value of the data. The if statement in C I used to implement such s decision structure in its simplest form – that of selecting a statement to be executed only if a condition is satisfied. Syntax: if(condtion) statement executed if condition is true When an executing program encounters the if statement, the condition is evaluated to determine its numerical value, which is then interpreted as either true or false. If the condition evaluates to any non-0 value (positive or negative), the condition is considered as a “true” condition and the statement following the if is executed; otherwise this statement is not executed. Relational Operators In C Relational operator | Meaning | Example | < | Less than | age < 30 | > | Greater than | height > 6.2 | <= | Less than or equal to | taxable <= 200000 | >= | Greater than or equal to | temp >= 98.6 | == | Equal to | grade == 100 | != | Not equal to | number !=250 | In creating relational expressions, the relational operators must be typed exactly as given in the above table. Thus, although the following relational expressions are all valid: age > 40 length <= 50 temp >= 98.6 3 < 4 flag == done day != 5 The following are invalid: length =< 50 ...

...Law Written Assignment 3 Case Study 1 Parks, a 7-foot, 265-pound center for the San Diego Slick, objected when his contract was assigned from the ABC Corporation to the XYZ Corporation, the team’s new owner. The change of owners did not cause a change in the composition of the team although a new coach was hired. Parks’s compensation and his responsibilities remained the same. Was this contract assignable? Facts of the Case: 1) Parks contract was assigned from the ABC Corporation to XYZ Corporation. 2) Parks compensation and his responsibilities remained the same. Issues: 1) The reason why we are in court today is to identify if Park’s contract was assignable. Rules of the Law: 1) Personal Service Contract – The parties agree that a personal service contract may be assigned. This allows the trade of an athlete from one team to another team. 2) Notice of Assignment – Assignee is under a duty to notify the obligor that the assignment has been made and performance must be rendered to the assignee. 3) Anti-Assignment Clause – Prohibits the assignment of rights under the contract. 4) Approval Clause – requires that the obligor approves any assignment of contract. Analysis & Conclusion: Since we do not have all the facts we can assume the following: 1) Parks contract did include the Personal service contract. 2) Notice of assignment was made by XYZ Corporation. 3) Parks contract did NOT include Anti-Assignment Clause. ...
