...IT 500 Help With Memo Assignment Here is a general structure that you can use for your memo assignment. To: All Employees From: HR Department (or your name) Date: Today RE: My Memo Assignment XYZ... Opening lines would state what is being done, such as a policy on recording phone calls, monitoring emails, and so on. There is no minimum or maximum length here. Averages tend to be two or three paragraphs. Controversies Note the section heading. This helps to distinguish the text that you include to discuss controversies. As a hint, why is your topic controversial? What part of the opening paragraph stating the policies might someone find controversial and why? One may assume that stating “we are reading your email” is controversial, but why? Is it that the employees may expect such things to be private, but the company states otherwise? Best practice is to spell it out and not assume (even though in many cases the controversy may seem obvious). This is your chance to show critical thinking and analysis of why this is a controversy. Within the context of the memo, you can use writer’s prose to explain this to your employees if you want (not required, just a suggestion). Legislation Again, note the section title; this helps the reader distinguish your objective. Think of it in terms of you as an employee. If HR sends you a memo, you may not want to read an entire law word-for-word. Instead, consider mentioning a law by name, and giving a three- or four-sentence...

...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...

The operand (the value on which the operator operates ) of the unary operator must have arithmetic or pointer type and the result is the value of the argument. Example:- If a=5 then +a means 5 If a=0 then +a means 0. If a=-4 then +a means -4. Ternary operator:- It precedes an operand. The operand of the unary operator must have arithmetic type and the result is the negation of the operand’s value. Example:- If a=5 then –a means -5 If a=0 then –a means 0 If a=-4 then –a means 4. (b) Assignment and equalto operator Assignment operator:- Equal to operator: An assignment operator assigns value In this we put the To a variable. value as it is.

...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 ...

...To: The Honorable Winona I. Zard, Mayor of Emerald City From: Date: November 14, 2011 Subject: Informative report on Colin Sell’s interior decor options Mr. Sell recently bought an old 1909 Craftsman house in the First Hill neighborhood. The classic foursquare house was turned into four separate households. Mr. Sell sent us a letter on October 28 asking about the benefits of a consultation to renovate his entire home. I replied to the letter on October 31 explaining the benefits. Then, Mr. Sell decided to continue with the consultation and I went to see the property on November 2. After I checked out the property, I saw old wooden floor, old window dressings and suspected leaded paint. According to the EPA's Office of Research and Development's "Total Exposure Assessment Methodology (TEAM) Study" (Volumes I through IV, completed in 1985), organic pollutants are found two to five times higher inside homes than outside. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are commonly used in certain wall coverings, floorings, and window dressings which can affect health. Therefore, it is very important to be aware of environmentally friendly materials for the renovation to reduce the level of VOCs. I analyzed options for Mr. Sell’s wall covering, flooring, and windows dressing based on their cost-effectiveness and environmental friendliness while maintaining the home’s architectural integrity. Wall covering There are two types of wall covering: paint and wallpaper. These...

...This memorandum report provides information on the current state of “A New Me Healthcare”. This memo provides information about policies that are currently in effect about organizational performance. Here at “A New Me Healthcare” we are a facility that specializes in behavioral health and treatment. We are here to provide services to inner city population and help people make a transition for the betterment of our community. Our mission, vision, and principles is to provide healthcare services to patients that are referred to “A New Me Healthcare” . After due consideration of a hospital survey it has been a primary concern that the organizational performance within the facility has gone astray of how and why we are really here. If we don’t meet and exceed what “our” mission, vision, and principles really account for then our measurement for performance needs to re –modified. The patients are our number one priority and to be the best in what we do along with the services we provide we must take into consideration what is best for the patient as well as the facility. The survey showed that policy guidelines that are currently being implemented need to be re evaluated to better serve how we work together as a team as well as how we provide care to the patients and their families. The organizational performance of overall staff and how the hospital operated needs improvement. The survey showed that the patients noticed that the coworkers were not organized when it came down...

...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. ...
