...The domain name info is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) in the Domain Name System (DNS) of the Internet. The name is derived from information indicating that the domain is intended for informative Internet resources, although registration requirements do not prescribe any theme orientation. The info TLD was a response to ICANN's highly publicized announcement[citation needed], in late 2000, of a phased release of seven new generic top-level domains. The event was the first addition of major gTLDs since the Domain Name System was developed in the 1980s. The seven new gTLDs, selected from over 180 proposals, were meant in part to take the pressure off the com domain.[1] The info domain has been the most successful of the seven new domain names, with over 5.2 million domain names in the registry as of April 2008. After the September 11, 2001 attacks in the United States, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority of New York switched to the easier to remember mta.info website to lead users to latest information on schedules and route changes on the area's transportation services. Even in 2013, a website, Current Score info, was formed to provide current score of Football and Cricket across India. ICANN and Afilias have also sealed an agreement for country names to be reserved by ICANN under resolution 01.92.[2] info is an unrestricted domain, meaning that anyone can obtain a second-level domain under info for any purpose, similar to the com, net or org domains. This is in contrast...

...Problem: Car Services Ltd (CSL) rends motor vehicle breakdown recovery service to its members. It attracts new members through a television advertising campaign that encourages potential clients to telephone a free call number for further information and the opportunity to immediately enroll with a credit card. Members are offered the choice of three levels of annual service contract in descending order of coverage and price: Gold, Silver and Standard. The telephone inquiries come through to a call centre staffed by CSL employees at the company’s premises who are paid a basic salary and a bonus of each new member that they successfully enroll. Located in the same building on another floor is the Car Hospital (CH) team who take the calls from the stranded motorists and arrange for a franchised garage to deal with the breakdown. These garages are independently owned and CSL pay them a fee for every callout that they undertake. CSL has recently (after January 2004) commenced employing trained mechanics on enhanced salaries to dispense technical advice to members on the telephone in the hope that a proportion of the call-outs to franchised garages will be avoided. Detailed information on costs, revenues, business activity and staff is displayed in the following tables. Table 1 Cost, Revenue and business Activity data for 2004 | |Gold |Silver |Standard | |Annual...

...The Architecture Company An architecture company was invited to submit, until the end of February, two proposals regarding two new university buildings. The preparation of a proposal for the first building involves a cost of forty (40) thousand Euros. Preparing a proposal for the second building costs twenty (20) thousand Euros. If the proposal for the first building is accepted, the company will earn one hundred and twenty (120) thousand Euros. If the proposal for the second building is accepted the earnings will be seventy (70) thousand Euros. The final profit is given by the total earnings (resulting from the accepted proposals) minus the total costs of preparation of the proposals. The architecture company has the option to submit no proposal, to submit a proposal for only one of the buildings, or to submit proposals for the two buildings. Any of the submitted proposals may be accepted or rejected. If two proposals are submitted, it is possible that none is accepted, only one is accepted, or both are accepted. In the particular case that both proposals are submitted and both are accepted then there will be severe problems implementing both projects simultaneously implying an extra cost of fifty (50) thousand Euros (to be deducted from profits). There is a 50% probability that a proposal for the first building is accepted. The probability that a proposal for the second building is accepted is 50%. The acceptance of one proposal is independent of the acceptance...

...6. Is it advisable to purchase any of the available 100,000 lbs of grade A tomatoes? (use the sensitivity report from question 2). If so, (a) how much should we buy? (b) How will the additional tomatoes be used? In order to figure out if we should buy and by how much we should purchase, we made some modifications associated with our model. First of all, we need to add one more decision variable, Additional A, which is the amount of extra grade A tomatoes we decide to purchase. Then we need to change the profit formula to subtract additional purchase cost, which is $0.15*Additional A, the deal Gordon had to purchase up to 100,000 lbs. grade A tomatoes. Also, we need to change the constraint for A grade tomatoes from 600,000 lbs. to (600,000+Additional A) lbs. The last step is to add another constraint to make the decision variable Additional A can be no more than 100,000 lbs. When we ran sensitivity analysis, the shadow price for grade A tomatoes is $0.27, which means when the company increases 1 lb. of grade A tomatoes available in production process, the total profit will increase by $0.27. So as long as the purchase price less than the shadow price, company should purchase extra grade A tomatoes. Moreover, the allowable increase for constraint of amount of grade A tomatoes available is 1,400,000. It means any amount of additional grade A tomatoes under 1,400,000 lbs. will be feasible to purchase to increase profit. Thus it is a good idea to purchase whole 100,000 lbs...

...Lab 2 Analysis Sheila Mejia BIAM 500 Prof. Bruning Keller March 13, 2016 Explain the Solver results you obtained for both the initial problem and your sensitivity analysis. The solver results in the initial analysis in my workbook showed that 333 units of the cc7 and 200 units of the cc8 should be produced in order to obtain the maximum of a little over $5 million in profit while still remaining within the given constraints. The constraints included that that MBI Corporation cannot produce more than 200,000 units in its plant and must remain under an $8million dollar budget. MBI Corp. must also meet marketing constraints of at least producing 100 units of cc7 and 200 units of cc8. In the sensitivity analysis we increases the constraints by ten percent and Solver determined that the optimal units MBI should produce is 110 of cc7 and 46 of cc8. Increasing the constraints decreased the number of units produced and decreased the profit by 31%. Thus, the sensitivity analysis helped determine that the current constraints made for a bigger profit while making staying within budget and satisfying other needs within the corporation. Based on the solver results MDI should not increase the parameters of their constraints, at least not by ten percent. What did you learn from the exercise and how is it important to businesses? The lab showed me how analyze a word problem and interpret the numbers using a spreadsheet. It also taught me...

...because the words are so profoundly true. In the end we cannot blame anyone but ourselves for the way our life turns out. As I began writing this paper, I really had to think about how I felt about my own personal responsibility. I had to consider how my decisions affect those that are in my personal circle. Realizing the choices that I make now or in the future could have a paramount effect on my family and closes friends. Yes, I am responsible for how others view me and take into account the person that I have come to be. Being personally responsible means; being accountable for everything that happens in my life, including my actions, attitude and the decisions I make about such things as my health, how I handle myself on my job, being a good parent and being an excellent student. Personal responsibility also means that for every cause there is an effect, every action has a reaction. Is this reaction positive or negative? Well, that depends solely on how one handles the situation life throws your way. My true happiness depends on the degree to which I recognize and accept the consequences of my actions and realize that each action has a direct impact on whether I reach my goals, accomplish my dreams and make my life meaningful. I have recently decided to take personal responsibility for my life and finish what I started so many years ago. I always promised myself when I had finished raising my son I would return to school and complete my degree. That moment has arrived...

...Personal Responsibility and College Success Personal responsibility is something that can help an individual. I believe that if a person has the sense to be responsible in their everyday life, then being successful in college will be a breeze. To be successful, one has to make good choices to get good results. The choice I made was to attain my college degree. In order to pursue that goal, I need to be personally responsible for the work ahead and make it through any obstacles. Furthering ones education and personal responsibility have many things in common, especially if it helps that person get their priorities in order. Personal responsibility is accepting the actions chosen and the consequences from those actions. I take upon myself to set my personal responsibility as succeeding in college. Haskins (2009) wrote, “When applied to education, personal responsibility means that students accept the responsibility to study hard and to learn as much as they can in courses that press against the limits of their capacity.”. In other words, I am going to push myself until I can no longer push. Move forward, do not look back – only look at what the future holds. I want to set an example for my children that if you find the motivation that helps you be that better person, go for it. According to Ellis (2011), “Motivation can come simply from being clear about your goals and acting on them.” My personal motivations are to provide my children with a future that I can give...

...Individual personal statement Over the course of the facilitation module I have learnt many things, whether it be through work in class, through my own wider reading or my own personal experiences being a participant. One thing that has become clear through my reading of Boal's games for actors and non-actors is that facilitation is a platform to allow anyone to experience drama. I found this very interesting as using facilitation in this way shows the positive ways in which drama can be used. I felt that this was an important idea, especially as the purpose of our workshop was to bring drama to an age group that might not have had a chance to experience it. Although our group was not on the same calibre as the groups that Boal's in the theatre of the oppressed it is still just as important for them to experience drama, “Even if they had all been homogeneous groups I feel that this introduction would have been necessary” (Boal,1992) this clearly shows that it is important that we use facilitation in this way. Although I missed a section of this module, due to health reasons, I feel that I have tried my best to put in an equal effort towards to outcome as my peers. I have tried to use my own experiences being a participant in workshops myself and also my experience being a facilitator at a local drama school to influence my decisions in the planning and development process. As I was working with children of a similar age, I felt that this influenced the way I worked in this...

...debate question is a question you are either going to agree or disagree with the statement. Based on the lack of participation from the rest of my group I do not know their feeling on this debate question. I personal response is yes. I do believe transgendered individuals should be able to participate in the homecoming as the other sex. I feel I put in efficient effort for this debate and debate question. Although I did not personally pick the debate question I had suggested several other topics but choice to stay on board with this debate question so the discussion would proceeds faster. Although I feel I personally put forth a lot of effort I know I could always do more. I could have not waited for so many days to pass waiting on my other teammates response. Although they were not responding I could have posted the research I found and what my option was. I have done some research on this debate question. I submitted an order to the University of Phoenix section in the Library called Ask a Librarian and I received a responses. The responses I received back from the Librarian suggested ways I could find reliable sources in the University Library. These sources will help me for future references with the debate question. I also did some personal research on the debate question out of curiosity. I know when I write more papers in the future or bring more to the debate I will use resources I find in the University of Phoenix Library....

...Psychology Major Module 2: Assignment: Instructions and Grading Rubric DIRECTIONS: Personal Credo: Psychology is a science that pervades nearly every moment of every day of our lives. To provide just one small example, consider the complex psychological and physiological processes involved in forming thoughts, communicating with others, and remembering both happy and sad memories. The very manner in which you engage (or do not engage) with others in the world around you has been derived from a series of influences on you, both genetic and environmental, that have shaped you into the person you are today. Thus, we are the amalgamation of collective influences on us, from our families and friends to our coworkers and larger society. It is my firm conviction that to appreciate who we are and what we stand for, it is important to periodically self-reflect and consider our life experiences, those things important to us, and our current direction in life. To assist you in doing this, I will ask that each of you complete a “personal credo.” This term may be somewhat alien to you, so I will explain what materials are to be included in this brief summary of who you are. Submit your assignment via the Dropbox no later than Sunday 11:59 PM EST/EDT. (This Dropbox basket is linked to Turnitin.) The word “credo” relates to a personal set of values or beliefs. For this class, conceptualize your personal credo as a brief autobiographical statement that details not only important background...
