...Discussion Board Unit 3 Comp101/1401B Introduction to Computers A. Questions for weekly discussions and conversations. 1. What features or functions of PowerPoint (PPT) do you feel are generally useful? I’ve never used PowerPoint so this is new to me. After reading and watching the M.U.S.E videos and the other sources in the learning materials, I feel that all the features and functions to PowerPoint will be useful. I have learned that your PowerPoint presentation should not be too flashy and the sound to your presentation should be appropriate. I have learned that you can add tables from Excel and Word and also add animations too. I think as long as you put together a great presentation with information that when you add clipart and sound that meets the presentation and is appropriate the presentation will be amazing. 2. From your experience of sitting through PowerPoint (PPT) presentations, what are some things that presenters have included in their PowerPoint Presentation that you feel are annoying and should not be included in a “good” PPT presentation? In my business there are tons of PowerPoint training presentations. What I feel is most annoying is pointless information. I’ve seen some that give me information but then put information in that has nothing to do with the subject of the presentation itself. Another thing is cartoon graphics. I personally don’t want to see an animation of random things especially if they have nothing to do...

...Sandra Ibuado November 27, 2015 HS-101-01 Professor Shantel Anderson Unit 3 Discussion Board Minors Minors are anyone that is under the age of 18. The age of autonomy has been 18 and it is “a person’s ability to make decisions concerning his or her personal health, including health care” (Ethics for Healthcare Professionals, 2014). This in a healthcare setting makes it complicated at times. As children grow they start to make their own choices and decisions. Decisions for infants and young children are not difficult to come to as they are usually taken by the parents or guardians of children. Now, that changes for adolescents because by this age in childhood they have the ability to comprehend what is going around them, including...

...ACCT311 Unit3 - Discussion Board Consider the following scenario: Jim’s Music Company uses LIFO for inventory, and the company’s profits are quite high this year. The cost of inventory has been steadily rising all year, and Jim is worried about his taxes. You are Jim's accountant and you suggested that the company make a large purchase of inventory to be received during the last week in December. You explained to Jim that this would reduce his income significantly. Jim still doesn't understand the logic of your suggestion. Explain how the purchase would affect taxable income. (1 paragraph) Is this ethical? Jim is uncertain about the appropriateness of this from a legal and ethical perspective. Give your opinion and explain the ethical implications of making the purchase. (1 to 2 paragraphs) I would tell Jim that if he was to make the large purchase close to the end of the year, it would leave his taxable income lower due to the unsold inventory. There wouldn't be anything unethical about this transaction because it would all be recorded into the proper categories. I work for a large corporation and in my department; my manager tells me that we need to buy all we can during the last quarter. She tells me that this will help our projected budget for the upcoming year. I feel that this is a similar situation. If Jim didn’t make the purchase, leaving his end of year net come high, the big boss can lower the budget for the next year for the inventory purchases...

...Grade Received, "A" If I were a manager that had to make a decision on what qualities are important in an employee and how to hire good employees for a health care organization, I would first think of how I would want healthcare professionals to treat me. Not everyone would have the exact same answers, but, I feel most people would have round about the same things. First and foremost, the healthcare professional must be compassionate and care about others and want to increase their well-being. I am sure most of you have heard that it takes a special kind of person to work in the healthcare business. I believe that if a person honestly does not have a heart, or has no compassion for others, then they should not be working in this field. In this field, you would want people treating you with respect, compassion, etc; therefore, you should do the same for your patients, and this is for all employees, not just nurses and doctors (Fottler, Ford, & Heaton, 2010). Next, the healthcare employee must have integrity, be honest and respect the privacy of others. Once again, you would not want everyone knowing your medical business; therefore, the employee must respect the wishes of the patient. Not only is this something that should be done, it is the law. HIPAA rules state very clearly about the privacy of medical information. If an employee does not have this particular trait, then they should not be working in the healthcare field (Fottler, Ford, & Heaton, 2010). The...

...Art Appreciation Unit 3 Discussion Board American Intercontinental University HUMA205 June 24, 2013 Michelangelo Buonarroti and Leonardo da Vinci were considered masters of the arts. Both men communicated their visions through their works or masterpieces. I will attempt to compare and contrast two works of art, one by Michelangelo and the other by Leonardo. The masterpiece I chose from Michelangelo Buonarroti is The Last Judgment. This work was painted on the alter wall of the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City. Michelangelo started this work in 1508 and finished in 1512. (Art and the Bible, nd) It represents the second coming of Christ and the final judgment of God. The picture presents Christ as judge and condemns everyone on his left to eternal fire, as he raises those on his right to heaven to be with the saints and angels. The picture radiates out from the center figure of Christ. Originally all the people were painted naked, but after quite a bit of controversy they were painted over with veils and loincloths. The Last Judgment is monochromatic and flesh tones and sky colors dominate the work. Yellow, orange, green and blue are scattered throughout the painting. Michelangelo focuses on the action of human creatures quite different than Leonardo’s emphasis on perspective such as birds in flight. His art enhances the naturalism and he had a great skill at portraying profound emotions that make this painting striking. The painting is sort of obscure...
