...To: All Employees From: Krissy Catlett <krissy@panthereast.com> Subject: New Procedures for Requesting Time Off Everyone, We are quickly approaching the beginning of our busy season here at Panther East/Black Cat Fasteners and we must change our process for requesting time off. This process should be followed for paid and unpaid requests for time-off. This change will help everyone stay informed of when other employees will be out of the office and will help management in providing enough support to cover an employee that is off. Please note that all requests still must be received two weeks prior to your requested time-off. To request time off, please follow the instructions in the attached file. A copy of these instructions is also available on the Panther East shared drive in the folder titled Forms. If you have any questions regarding the new procedures, please feel free to come see me, call me, or e-mail Richard or myself at any time. We look forward to a new organized and informative method of requesting time-off that will help everyone. Thank you for your cooperation, Kristina Catlett, Human Resources Manager Attachment: Procedures for Requesting Time Off Procedures for Requesting Time Off * Check your Outlook calendar to make sure another employee in your department has not requested off for the same days you wish to request. * Create a New Appointment in your Outlook calendar. * Invite Attendees –...

...Assignment 1: Procedural Email Message 07/13/2014 Anna Lynn Sanders Professional Communications To: All Employees From: Mercedes Marshall ALSanders@uniquerestaurants.com Subject: Smoke Free Premises Greetings, It has come to my attention that the smoking habits around our restaurants are becoming an issue for both our customers and employees. That being said, I am enforcing a smoke-and- tobacco free workplace. This includes no smoking on the premises of all Unique Restaurants. To protect and enhance our indoor air quality and to contribute to the health and well-being of all employees and customers, Unique Restaurants shall be entirely smoke free effective immediately. Additionally, the use of all tobacco products, including chewing tobacco, is banned from all restaurant premises. Benefits of Changes * Prevents exposure to second hand smoke- This can lower the possibility of irritating those who have heath conditions and preventing germs to pass along the restaurants. * Reduce long term health risks- Those who inhale second hand smoke on a regular basis have the same risk as smokers. This policy can also reduce the amount of sick days within our restaurant employees. * Encourages people to quit- Not being able to smoke while working a full shift or dining out for a few hours will certainly take the idea of smoking off their mind. * Generates more revenue – This welcomes people of all different age groups, making it a more...

...You Decide Scenario: Week 3 Detecting and preventing insider threats is its own discipline, with its own dynamics. If you put these countermeasures in place, you can reduce the threat dramatically. First, you can use an IP packet-filtering router. This type of router permits or denies the packet to either enter or leave the network through the interface on the basis of the protocol, IP address, and the port number. The protocol may be TCP, UDP, HTTP, SMTP, or FTP. The IP address under consideration would be both the source and the destination addresses of the nodes. The port numbers would correspond to the well-know port numbers (Vacca, 2009). Packet filtering lets you control data transfer based on the address the data is, the address the data is going to, and the session and application protocols being used to transfer data. The main advantage of packet filtering is leverage. It allows you to provide, in a single place, particular protections for an entire network. Consider the Telnet service. If you disallow Telnet by turning off the Telnet server on all your hosts, you still have to worry about someone in your organization installing a new machine (or reinstalling an old one) with the Telnet server turned on. On the other hand if Telnet is not allowed by your filtering router, such a new machine would be protected right from the start, regardless of whether or not its Telnet server was actually running. Another advantage of a packet filtering router is that...

...Data-Driven Entertainment/Education Friberger et al. defines data games as “games where gameplay and/or game content is based on real-world data external to the game, and where gameplay supports the exploration of and learning from this data.” They also use a taxonomy to explore the categories of such games. They propose to use open and linked data to procedurally generate game content. One of their examples was Open Trumps based on the popular card game Trumps. The data source for the game content is a UN database of countries and demographics indicators. However, procedural content generation entails some transformation of data into the game content. As the authors caution, we must be careful of transformations that “lead to an unacceptable loss of veracity in relation to the original source.” In our work, the game content is the original data [1, 2, 3]. Moreover, our perspective in this endeavor to foster understanding is general instead of a game focused. Thus, it is from this general point of view that we classify data-driven applications. The figure below illustrates the classification matrix: rows represent data velocity (static or dynamic) and columns the goals of the application. The first type of goals is informational: the application just provides specific information to the user usually through visualization; interaction with the data is minimal. The second type of goal focuses on interaction with the data for sensemaking; applications in this case are usually...

...award recovery of court cost to any taxpayer who prevails against the United States. The recovery of court cost includes attorneys’ fees and taxpayer’s expert witness fees to the taxpayer(s) when [1] the IRS fails to establish that its position in an administrative or court proceeding was substantially justified and [2] when the taxpayer complies with all of the following 7430’s procedural requirements. It is assumed that the following requirements are pertinent to this case: •The taxpayer did not unduly prolong the litigation •The taxpayer pursued the case through IRS administrative appeals •The taxpayer then “substantially prevailed” in the Tax Court. The taxpayer has the right to request an award of attorneys’ fees and taxpayer’s expert witness fees within 30 days by formal letter or/and at the conclusion of the proceeding; failure to do so will disqualify/ make the taxpayer become ineligible for the award of fees. Based on the information presented above, the taxpayer requested the reimbursement within an adequate amount of time; therefore, the reimbursement should be considered. If the procedural requirements of 7430 are met, the taxpayer may recover a reasonable litigation cost from the United States for the court...

...Programming paradigm is a fundamental style of computer programming , a way of building the structure and elements of computer programs. There are six main programming paradigms: 1. imperative programming, imperative programming, which is based on procedural languages, literate programming ,which structures programs as a human-centered web, as in a hypertext essay –documentation is integral to the program, and the program is structured following the logic of prose exposition, rather than compiler convenience. 2. declarative programming, declarative programming paradigms were developed. In these languages the computer is told what the problem is, not how to solve the problem – the program is structured as a collection of properties to find in the expected result, not as a procedure to follow. Given a database or a set of rules, the computer tries to find a solution matching all the desired properties. The archetypical example of a declarative language is the fourth generation language SQL, as well as the family of functional languages and logic programming 3. functional programming , Functional programming is a subset of declarative programming. Programs written using this paradigm use functions, blocks of code intended to behave like mathematical functions. Functional languages discourage changes in the value of variables through assignment , making a great deal of use of recursion instead. 4. object-oriented programming , object-oriented languages...

...less attention to the procedural technicalities at the expense of substantive justice. The objective of this legal paper is to discuss the effect of Article 118 (2) (e) of the constitution of Zambia (Amendment) Act No.2 of 2016 with regards to the delivery of justice in Zambia. To begin with, the paper will first define the various key terms such as substantive justice, justice, procedural law and substantive law. The paper will then differentiate substantive law and procedural law. It will further proceed to discuss the relevance of procedural (legal) technicalities and then later on discuss the problem of courts strictly adhering to the procedural technicalities at the expense of substantive justice. A comprehensive conclusion will then be deducted based on the discussion. DEFINITION OF KEY TERMS The term justice basically means fairness in the manner in which justice is administered. It basically entails a moral ideal that the law seeks to uphold with regards to the protection of rights and the mode of punishment imposed on the offenders for the wrongs done. Justice means equality, fairness and equity. Substantive justice means justice that is administered in accordance with the rules of substantive, regardless of any procedural error without affecting the litigant’s substantive right; a fair trial on merit. Substantive law is that part of law that is concerned with establishing the legal rights and duties of the litigants in any suit, whereas procedural law on the other hand...

...Semantic memory itself has been discussed extensively in the psychological literature. Specifically, it refers to particular memories that focus on meanings, understandings, and concepts. Unlike episodic memory, semantic memory focuses on things that are not specific to particular experiences. In other words, semantic memory would not include remembering what a person ate the previous day or what clothes someone was wearing. Instead, semantic memory would include things like remembering that dogs are animals and that desks are inanimate objects. These are both general, overarching concepts that people store in their semantic memory. On a larger scale, semantic memory is actually a subdivision of declarative memory and distinct from procedural or implicit memory. There are many functions of semantic memory. The main function is to allow people to put their experiences into perspective or into a context, so they know what is...

...WHAT IS KNOWLEDGE? Quassim Cassam 1 What would a good answer to this question - call it (WK) - look like? What I’m going to call the standard analytic approach (SA) says that: A) The way to answer WK is to analyse the concept of knowledge. B) To analyse the concept of knowledge is to come up with non-circular necessary and sufficient conditions for someone to know that something is the case. Is the standard analytic approach to WK the right approach? If not, what would be a better way of doing things? These are the questions I’m going to tackle here. I want to look at some criticisms of SA and consider the prospects for a different, non-standard analytic approach (NA) to WK. Here is one objection to SA: the concept of knowledge can’t be analysed, at least if analysis is understood in the way that (B) understands it.[i] (B) assumes a reductive conception of analysis, according to which analysing a concept is a matter of breaking it down into more basic concepts. Let’s say that a concept C1 is more basic than another concept C2 just if one can grasp C1 without grasping C2 but one can’t grasp C2 without grasping C1. Proponents of SA tend to assume that concepts like truth, belief, and justification are in this sense more basic than the concept knows and that that is why they can be used to specify non-circular necessary and sufficient conditions for knowing. If it turns out that such conditions can’t be given, and therefore that the concept of...

Most of the organizations are facing the problem to implement the transparent process during the reward allocation because of the individual perception. The theory regarding the fairness also suggest to implement a structured way that will adhere to the policy of the organization so that no employees remain with the dilemma that justice is coming in the proper way.
