...if you're in PowerPoint, that same tab doesn't show Charts, but does add a Media Clips grouping. And finally, the Home tab (found in all of the programs that utilize the Ribbon) contains many of the commands that you use the most. In Excel it might be Alignment, Number, and Cells, while in Word it might be Font, Paragraph, and Styles. Each program that utilizes the Ribbon has its own tabs, and what's grouped under each tab also depends on that particular program. You can set up the Office programs that have the Ribbon (Excel, certain parts of Outlook, PowerPoint, and Word) so that all the features and tools are right there, at the top of the program window. You're not changing the Ribbon as it is; you're just creating what's called a "Quick Access Toolbar." The Quick Access Toolbar is one that you create, containing all of the features and...

...The concept of being platform agnostic, meaning having no preference for where we access our media content.(Pg. 41) An example of being platform agnostic, is when streaming different shows or movies, we have a variety of options that have very few different factors. So at the end of the day it doesn’t matter where we watch it as long as we have the instant gratification. I never quite considered being platform agnostic, I didn’t realize that there was a word for it. When I think about it though it is extremely relevant, I feel that sometimes we can be so eager to get what we want instantly that it doesn’t matter where we watch our shows as long as we watch them. If there is a factor in where we watch our content it’s probably the quality of the content. Another determining factor is that it’s giving the audiences more power to choose what they want to watch and when they want to watch it....

...never easy, but before picking school you want to attend, you must first decide whether you want to pursue an education at an online university or a traditional college. The end result is the same, a diploma that will help you find a job in your field, but the learning environment is very different between the two platforms. It is important to understand key differences between online learning and traditional classes before deciding on the right path for you. From my experiences online classes are more convenient, but campus classes makes the resources more accessible, as well as there is better class participation. Convenience in scheduling is very important when making the choice of an online education, or one that’s more traditional. Every online class is run differently, but in most cases, it is much easier to schedule your classes around the rest of your day when you go to school virtually. Campus-based courses require that you attend class a certain number of times every week, at specific times. That might mean changing your work schedule or having to hire a babysitter. Online classes sometimes require that you attend scheduled meetings in chat rooms, but in many cases, you can work the virtual classes into your schedule whenever you want. This provides flexibility for you to be able to work toward your degree on your own time, at your own pace. The accessibility of resources play a major roll when selecting which route one wants to take to get an education. At an online...

...MS Access 2003 Introduction to Data Base A database can help you enter data easily, find it quickly, use it to create labels or mailings, and summarize it in printed and online reports. Benefits of Using a Database A database is much more than just a list or table. It gives you true command of your data, enabling you to retrieve it, sort it, analyze it, summarize it, and report results in moments. It can combine data from various files, so that you never have to enter information twice. It can even make data entry more efficient and accurate. A key benefit of Database is avoiding the complications of multiple lists. Let's say that you're the secretary of a large hiking club. You have a list of recycling volunteers, a list of holiday party volunteers, addresses for newsletter labels, a membership list, and so on. Suppose that a club member, who appears on a number of lists, changes her e-mail for the second time this year. With only a set of lists, you'd have the tiresome job of changing that information everywhere it occurs. With a well-structured database, you'd have to change it only once. The database takes care of everything else. If you're just working with 10 or so items, then you'll probably want to create a simple list, perhaps as a worksheet in Microsoft Excel or a bulleted list or table in Microsoft Word. If your data is more complex, or changes frequently, then an Access database gives you an advantage. Relational Data base & MS Access Relationships...

I know you have been considering attending here, and hopefully this information helps you decide. * * First of all, we have this great library! There are so many resources in the library that it may take a few days to just browse around. We even have access to a librarian to help us find literature on just about any subject, as long as it pertains to your studies. You can’t just ask about whales in Alaska because you’re planning an Alaskan cruise. In the library, you can also access CWE (Center for Writing Excellence), which helps with writing academic papers.

So, we also have access to CME (Center for Mathematics Excellence). With CME, you can actually get tutoring to help you with math. There’s much more, but I have to study.

...comes to healthcare, it affects people’s lives more than anything else. Great Britain’s healthcare system is tricky. The question I struggle with is do I want government intrusion on all aspect of our lives, including healthcare. I believe everyone has the right to healthcare in this country. It comes with a price. Great Britain represents all that is good and bad with a centralized single-payer health care system. Health care spending is fairly low. Long waitlists for treatments are horrendous, and rationing pervades the system. Patients have the choice of providers with little access to specialists. Under Great Britain’s healthcare everyone is covered. Great Britain has a single-payer system funded by general revenues. With this centralized system, avoiding deficits is difficult. Great Britain’s deficit in 2006 was 700 million pounds despite healthcare spending increases over 43 billion pounds in 5 years. They pay through government taxation that is protected under the National Health Services (NHS). The people who are a part of the NHS bear the benefits while the people who opt out of the NHS will receive the burdens. You can’t defect from enrolling or you’re not covered. That being said, only 11.5% of the people opt out of the NHS. Private health insurance replicates the coverage provided by the NHS, but gives patients access to higher quality care and reduced waiting times. The general mission of Great Britain is to live and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Great Britain’s...

... The real power of an Access 2007 database is in the ability to pull data for quick analysis, which is what happens when you run a query. Queries allow you to retrieve information from one or more tables based on a set of search conditions you define. Access 2007 will display your results in their very own table that you can analyze and manipulate further. This lesson will explain how to plan a query using a three-question planning process. You will learn how to use the Query Design command to run the query, as well as how to modify the query to hide fields or other information in your query results. Finally, it will show you how to save the query for later use. Using Queries Queries retrieve information from one or more tables based on a set of search conditions that you set up and then combine that information in a way that is easy for you to analyze. If you have used an Advanced Filter in Access 2007, then you have already run a very basic query on only one table. If you want to pull data from more than one table, though, you will need to use either the Query Design command or the Query Wizard. Before using the Access 2007 query tools, it is important to plan out the query using a logical process. Otherwise, you may not get the results you expect. Planning a Query There are three questions you need to answer when you are planning a query: What do you want the results to look like? Identify every field or bit of information that you want included in the results...

...In today’s society, no one really has any privacy. Every ounce of information about you can be found in a background check or just a simple search on the Internet. In the Law and Order episode “Access Nation”, Tracey Conley’s privacy was tarnished. Her client, a convicted rapist by the name of Virgil Rice, paid Access Nation on four occasions to find information regarding Tracey. This is information led to her death shortly after the information was given to Mr. Rice. Personal experiences or data regarding one’s life should be kept private from the public. Three main factors tie into this episode: ethos, logos, and pathos. These persuasive techniques are used in everyday life. In this episode, ethos, logos, and pathos allow viewers to realize how often these techniques are used and how important they are when dealing with investigative work. In the following paragraphs, I will describe certain scenes of the episode that deal with each of the techniques. Of the...

...Diversity can relate to many things, but the definition of diversity is a range of many different things. It seems almost impossible to think just one person can contribute to the diversity at a school. In fact, one person can contribute to the diversity of a school especially a school as big as the University of Kentucky, I feel I could be one to contribute to the diversity at UK in many ways especially since I am from a high school of about 2,200 students where everyone is vastly exposed to all types of diversity and ethnicities, in our school we have student from all over the world I have met and learned many things from students that come from Africa, Mexico, Latin America, Europe, and also just various parts of the U.S. I’ve never visited....

...order to improve the work environment, the employees need online access to time cards, computerized orders, and shift switching. Customers will benefit from computerized ordering because it will quicken the pace, but Tim’s doesn’t allow the use of credit cards. There are brand new computers sitting on the floor and a type writer is on the desk. If you want a company that serves college students; technology is key. The computer that is sitting on the floor could be used to make the orders out front. The employees need access to the computer to sign in online. Right now, they are using time cards. The time cards are out in the open for everyone to see and yet at the same time, anyone can grab their friends time card and punch them in if they are running late. Computerized time cards would have passwords and that would make it much harder for employees to pull one over on management. Employees are currently using a cork board to post that they need to switch hours. People post their needs on top of others and this just creates a mess. Employee’s need access to an online shift switch board. The online board can show highlighted times that need to be switched or filled. There are several websites that offer time cards, switch boards, and online paystubs. Also, as the owner, you can have your manager send out email notices for the next week’s shifts. This makes for less paperwork on your part and your employees have access to all their needs in one place. Customers have complained...
