...You have just been promoted from staff assistant in the Human Resources Office at Easy to Be Green to the new position of director of training, and your first project is to oversee the new reading, writing, and math courses. Recently, though, several department heads have complained that many employees do not know how to prepare and deliver presentations. You have begun to put together a short course on this, but the course will not be offered for a couple of months and only a small percentage of employees will be able to take it the first time anyway. You decide that, in the meantime, you will create an instructions document that can be sent to all employees immediately. For some employees, who just need a refresher, this document will probably be enough. For others, it will be an interim solution until they are able to take the course. Assignment 1. Drawing on ideas from the discussions and practice assignments as well as your own experiences in preparing and delivering presentations, compose a set of instructions on how to prepare and deliver an oral presentation to a live audience, that is, not for a presentation to be recorded for download. Follow these guidelines in writing your instructions. • Write the instructions in your own words, though of course you should draw on ideas and information that you have read and discussed for this course. If you do consult any sources apart from those used in the course, include citations throughout the document, placing...

...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...

...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...

...Communication in the Workplace Regardless of the environment in which one works, communication is always vital and a key factor of success. Communication happens both physically and verbally and is absolutely essential if you want to inform someone about something. Communication has two main components, sending out a message to someone, and ensuring the message is received correctly to the other member of the conversation. It is therefore fair to say speaking and listening are vital to effective communication. I will talk about how effective communication is needed in my current position, as well as the future. Computer Science is the name of my degree choice. Once graduated, I intend on becoming an Information Technology Consultant. The position will be on a contract basis, meaning I will only be employed by a company for a period of time, until a certain project is finished. If my help is still needed within the organization, then an extension may be drawn. Otherwise I will move on and work with another organization. Although the role seems temporary, the pay will make up for this. The main thing that is carried forward is my experience. Alongside experience, my communication with the other members of the organization is extremely important, as a lot of jobs in this industry are promoted via ‘word of mouth’. If I am an effective communicator, I will be able to get a lot of recommendations and will be successful in the industry. If I am not an effective communicator then...

...the least frustrating. Effective communication incorporates the basic elements of communication by making sure that the person receiving the information from the sender understands what is being said. “Effective communication plays a vital role in the success of every professional and personal relationship.” (Todd, 2013) There are five basic communication models that consist of the sender, the receiver, the message, the channel, and the feedback. These five basic elements can be used in several different ways such as public speaking, interpersonal relationships, media development, and business relations. The basic elements of effective communication can differ from the basic rules of communication. In health care communication can play a very important role in patients’ health care decisions and the way the information is conveyed through each component. When it comes to health care “effective communication involves more than understanding information that is being conveyed. How a person understands and receives a message are two different things therefore understanding feelings, thoughts,...

The book I choose to read for my midterm is entitled, “Don’t Just Talk, Be Heard: Closing the Gap Between What You Say and What People Hear” by David L. Levin.
