BILTRITE PRACTICE CASE
Module XV of the Biltrite audit practice case contains an audit report exercise.
This exercise may be completed at this time.
Module XV: Audit Report
The Denise Vaughan audit team completed its audit field work on February 15,
2010. A conference was held on that date involving members of the audit
firm and Biltrite management. Participants in the conference were Denise
Vaughan, partner in charge of the Biltrite engagement; Carolyn Volmar,
audit manager; Richard Derick, in-charge auditor; Trevor Lawton, Biltrite’s
CEO; Gerald Groth, Biltrite’s controller; and Marlene McAfee, Biltrite’s trea-
surer. The Biltrite representatives agreed to all of the audit adjustments and
reclassifications proposed by the audit team, and they agreed to reflect them
in the December 31, 2009, financial statements. They also agreed to modify
and/or add footnote disclosures as recommended by the audit team.
At the conclusion of the conference, the audit team obtained a client repre-
sentation letter from Biltrite management and presented management with a
copy of the “significant deficiencies” letter outlining discovered internal control
deficiencies. The original of this letter was sent to Biltrite’s audit committee.
The legal action initiated against Biltrite by Rollfast, a competitor, for
alleged patent infringement, was not yet settled as of February 15. Because the
letter obtained by Derick from Biltrite’s outside legal couns ...

As the HR compensation strategist, you must propose compensation bandwidths, benefits plans, and an employee evaluation process for determining compensation adjustments for each of the four job classifications. The proposal should be data-driven, grounded in theory/literature, and consider environmental factors like union status and benefits legislation in the state.

Be specific in your answers and state the applicable law used to reach your conclusions.
Question #1
Mike is a homeowner. Jill runs a snowplowing business. Mike asks Jill to provide an estimate for how much she would charge to snowplow Mike’s driveway. After Jill inspects Mike’s driveway, the parties have the following conversation on September 1, 2011:
Jill: “$50 each time I snowplow your driveway.”
Mike: “OK, sounds good. Please do so.”
Jill regularly snowplows Joe’s driveway during the 2011-12 season. In May 2012, Jill sends a bill to Mike for all visits she made in the 2011-12 season, and Mike promptly pays that bill in full without any other communication taking place between Jill and Mike.
• Jill regularly snowplows Mike’s driveway during the 2012-13 season and sends a bill for those visits in March 2013. What are the rights and responsibilities of the parties under contract law?
• Instead, assume that Jill does not come during the first major snowfall in 2012. Does Mike have any contractual rights against JILL? Explain fully.
• Ignore the previous bullets. Instead, assume Mike promptly pays the 2011-12 bill in full without any other communication. On September 1, 2012, Jill raises her prices 20% for all of her customers, and she notifies Mike of this fact. He does not respond. Jill regularly snowplows Mike’s driveway during the 2012-13 season and in March 2013 sends Mike a bill for those visits reflecting her increased prices. What are the right and responsibilities of the parties under contract law.
Question #2:
At the wedding of Tom and Mary, Tom’s father, Frank, told them that he wanted to live with them and to have them care for him for the rest of his life. He said, “If you agree to do this, I will deliver to you, within two years, a deed to my home.” Tom and Mary told Frank they accepted his offer and promised to look after Frank with loving care in Frank’s home. They immediately moved in with him.
Soon after moving into Frank’s home, Tom and Mary used their own money to add a new wing to the house, pay the outstanding property taxes, and pay off an existing mortgage of $25,000.
One year after Tom and Mary moved into the home, Tom reminded Frank of his promise to convey the property to them. Frank became angry, and refused to execute the deed and ordered Tom and Mary to leave the premises.
Answer the following questions by arguing both sides of the issues and applying ...

BILTRITE PRACTICE CASE
Module XV of the Biltrite audit practice case contains an audit report exercise.
This exercise may be completed at this time.
Module XV: Audit Report
The Denise Vaughan audit team completed its audit field work on February 15,
2010. A conference was held on that date involving members of the audit
firm and Biltrite management. Participants in the conference were Denise
Vaughan, partner in charge of the Biltrite engagement; Carolyn Volmar,
audit manager; Richard Derick, in-charge auditor; Trevor Lawton, Biltrite’s
CEO; Gerald Groth, Biltrite’s controller; and Marlene McAfee, Biltrite’s trea-
surer. The Biltrite representatives agreed to all of the audit adjustments and
reclassifications proposed by the audit team, and they agreed to reflect them
in the December 31, 2009, financial statements. They also agreed to modify
and/or add footnote disclosures as recommended by the audit team.
At the conclusion of the conference, the audit team obtained a client repre-
sentation letter from Biltrite management and presented management with a
copy of the “significant deficiencies” letter outlining discovered internal control
deficiencies. The original of this letter was sent to Biltrite’s audit committee.
The legal action initiated against Biltrite by Rollfast, a competitor, for
alleged patent infringement, was not yet settled as of February 15. Because the
letter obtained by Derick from Biltrite’s outside legal couns ...
BUS 571 Compensation and BenefitsCompensation Strategy Project.docx
Techtron Corporation is developing a compensation strategy for 140 hourly production technicians, 3 production supervisors, 2 manufacturing engineers, and 1 computer technician at its new manufacturing facility. As the HR compensation strategist, you must propose compensation bandwidths, benefits plans, and an employee evaluation process for determining compensation adjustments for each of the four job classifications. The proposal should be data-driven, grounded in theory/literature, and consider environmental factors like union status and benefits legislation in the state.

Question #1
Mike is a homeowner. Jill runs a snowplowing business. Mike asks Jill to provide an estimate for how much she would charge to snowplow Mike’s driveway. After Jill inspects Mike’s driveway, the parties have the following conversation on September 1, 2011:
Jill: “$50 each time I snowplow your driveway.”
Mike: “OK, sounds good. Please do so.”
Jill regularly snowplows Joe’s driveway during the 2011-12 season. In May 2012, Jill sends a bill to Mike for all visits she made in the 2011-12 season, and Mike promptly pays that bill in full without any other communication taking place between Jill and Mike.
• Jill regularly snowplows Mike’s driveway during the 2012-13 season and sends a bill for those visits in March 2013. What are the rights and responsibilities of the parties under contract law?
• Instead, assume that Jill does not come during the first major snowfall in 2012. Does Mike have any contractual rights against JILL? Explain fully.
• Ignore the previous bullets. Instead, assume Mike promptly pays the 2011-12 bill in full without any other communication. On September 1, 2012, Jill raises her prices 20% for all of her customers, and she notifies Mike of this fact. He does not respond. Jill regularly snowplows Mike’s driveway during the 2012-13 season and in March 2013 sends Mike a bill for those visits reflecting her increased prices. What are the right and responsibilities of the parties under contract law.
Question #2:
At the wedding of Tom and Mary, Tom’s father, Frank, told them that he wanted to live with them and to have them care for him for the rest of his life. He said, “If you agree to do this, I will deliver to you, within two years, a deed to my home.” Tom and Mary told Frank they accepted his offer and promised to look after Frank with loving care in Frank’s home. They immediately moved in with him.
Soon after moving into Frank’s home, Tom and Mary used their own money to add a new wing to the house, pay the outstanding property taxes, and pay off an existing mortgage of $25,000.
One year after Tom and Mary moved into the home, Tom reminded Frank of his promise to convey the property to them. Frank became angry, and refused to execute the deed and ordered Tom and Mary to leave the premises.

BUS 1 Mini Exam – Chapters 05 – 10 40 Points S.docx
BUS 1
Mini Exam – Chapters 05 – 10
40 Points
Short Answer – Mind your time
Answer four questions from #1 - #6. Must answer #3 and #6. Answer
the XC question for extra credit. Question point count weighted equally.
It is all about business, so make sure to demonstrate / synthesize the bigger picture of business in each and
every answer.
Like all essays, specifying an exacting target word count is rather problematic. I am thinking each answer
would be about 250 - 300 words each, depending upon writing style. If you tend to be descriptive and whatnot,
that number could be 350 - 450 words.
Sidebar: Gauge your knowledge level in this way. This exam should take about 90 – 120 minutes to complete.
Students taking much longer may want to work with me to assess / discuss ways to help master this material in
a future conference session.
1. Although most new firms start out as sole proprietorships, few large firms are organized this way. Why
is the sole proprietorship such a popular form of ownership for new firms? What features of the sole
proprietorship make it unattractive to growing firms?
2. List and discuss at least three causes of small business failure. Workarounds, fixes, or methods to avoid
failure should be discussed.
3. Describe three different leadership styles and give an example of a situation in which each style could be
most used effectively.
4. Discuss Max Weber's views on organization theory. Is there a few principles that particularly resonate
in business today?
5. How has the emphasis of quality control changed in recent years? Describe some of the modern quality
control techniques that illustrate this change in emphasis.
6. Explain how managers could motivate employees by using the principles outlined in expectancy
theory? Create a story/example of expectancy theory at work, incorporating the three questions that
according to expectancy theory employees will ask.
7. XC – What is selective perception? Can you describe a business-centric scenario where selective
perception may hinder a businessperson’s ability to respond to a customer need?

BUMP implementation in Java.docxThe project is to implemen.docx
BUMP implementation in Java.docx
The project is to implement the BUMP client in java, with window size 1. Here is an overview of the three WUMP protocols (BUMP, HUMP, and CHUMP). Here are the files wumppkt.java, containing the packet format classes, and wclient.java, which contains an outline of the actual program. Only the latter file should be modified; you should not have to make changes to wumppkt.java.
What you are to do is the following, by modifying and extending the wclient.java outline file:
· Implement the basic transfer
· Add all appropriate packet sanity checks: timeouts, host/port, size, opcode, and block number
· Generate output. The transferred file is to be written to System.out. A status message about every packet (listing size and block number) is to be written to System.err. Do not confuse these!
· Terminate after a packet of size less than 512 is received
· Implement an appropriate "dallying" strategy
· send an ERROR packet if it receives a packet from the wrong port. The appropriate ERRCODE in this case is EBADPORT.
An outline of the program main loop is attached
recommended that you implement this in phases, as follows.
1. Latch on to the new port: save the port number from Data[1], and make sure all ACKs get sent to this port. This will mean that the transfer completes. You should also make sure the client stops when a packet with less than 512 bytes of data is received. Unless you properly record the source port for Data[1], you have no place to which to send ACK[1]!
2. For each data packet received, write the data to System.out. All status messages should go to System.err, so the two data streams are separate if stdout is redirected. To write to System.out, use System.out.write:
System.out.write(byte[] buf, int offset, int length);
For your program, offset will be 0, buf will typically be dpacket.data(), where dpacket is of type DATA (wumppkt.DATA). The length will be dpacket.size() - wumppkt.DHEADERSIZE (or, equivalently, dg.getLength() - wumppkt.DHEADERSIZE, where dg is a DatagramPacket object).
3. Add sanity checks, for (in order) host/port, packet size, opcode, and block number.
4. Handle timeouts, by retransmitting the most recently sent packet when the elapsed time exceeds a certain amount (4 seconds?). One way to do this is to keep a DatagramPacket variable LastSent, which can either be reqDG or ackDG, and just resend LastSent. Note that the response to an InterruptedIOException, a "true" timeout, will simply be to continue the loop again.
5. Add support for an dallying and error packets. After the client has received the file, dallying means to wait 2.0 - 3.0 timeout intervals (or more) to see if the final data packet is retransmitted. If it is, it means that the final ACK was lost. The dally period gives the client an opportunity to resend the final ACK. Error packets are to be sent to any sender of an apparent data packet that comes from the wrong port.

Bulletin Board Submission: 10 Points. Due by Monday at 9:00 a.m.
As you've learned, it is important to be able to determine the elements of a crime and there are several places to turn for assistance in doing so.
First - Look at the statute for the crime. For example, in New York, the statute for Petit Larceny is Penal Law 155.25.
Second - Check to see if any of the terms in the statute are defined in another statute. For example, in New York, Larceny is defined in Penal Law 155.05
Third - If the elements are not clear from the statute, you may want to research case law to see if the courts have established the elements for the crime.
Fourth - Always remember to check the Jury Instructions.
They are an excellent source for identifying the elements, as this is how the court explains the crime to the jury.
Many states are now posting their Jury Instructions on the internet.
Section One –
Keeping the above in mind, please provide the statute under which a Defendant in your state would be charged with Rape (1st Degree if your state breaks it down in that manner) In addition, provide any relevant statutory definitions and an overview of the Jury Instructions. Then, provide cases addressing at least one of the elements of the statute.

Burn with Us Sacrificing Childhood in The Hunger GamesSus.docx
This document provides a summary and analysis of the novel The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. It discusses how the novel depicts the sacrificing of childhood through the Hunger Games, where children are forced to fight to the death for entertainment. It explores themes of childhood, desire, identity formation, and how entering adulthood involves both recognition of culturally defined childhood as well as its loss. A key part of the analysis focuses on how the protagonist Katniss Everdeen develops a sense of self and is able to articulate her identity and desires through her experiences in the Hunger Games arena.

5) The black line is the regression line because it get closest to the sample points (minimizes error between the points and the line). The red line has a larger error; that is, larger total distance from points to the line.
6) Because it is reasonable to suppose that costs are dependent on production volume (since units are produced, directly resulting in costs), then regression is more appropriate for this data since regression is appropriate when an cause-and-effect relationship is assumed.

9) Note: the following are not complete answers to Question 11; they are just enough for you to know whether your short answer addressed the correct things.
a) 1 = population slope, b1 = sample slope. On exam, would also want to address what you know (or don’t know) about each of these and how each is found.
b) An outlier can “drag” the regression line toward it. On the exam, also think about how this would affect the quality of your regression model and the predictions.
10) Yes, there appears to be a straight line relationship between the variables. Linear regression appears to be appropriate. The regression output is:
11) a) T = -0.09, p = 0.929, do not reject Ho, conclude there is no evidence of a relationship
b) R2 = 0.002 = 0.2%, No because value is very close to zero
c) Correlation = r = -0.0421. No, there is not a strong relationship between these variables. The correlation is nearly 0.
d) Regression line is Y^ = 1.26 – 0.035X.
Y^ = 1.26 – 0.035(100) = 1.26 – 3.5 = -2.24. No this does not make sense because you cannot have a negative number of near misses. It is not wise to predict with this model. The R-squared value is extremely low (essentially 0%), which means that there is no relationship at all between near misses and flights in this data. Therefore, predicting misses from flights is meaningless.
e) b1 = -0.035. As Number of flights increases by 1, we expect number of near misses to go down by 0.035. Or, put another way, as flights increases by 1000, we expect number of near misses to go down by 35. No, this does not make sense. We would assume that as flights increase, so would near misses.
12) a. Multiple regression is a direct extension of simple regression, except that now we have more than one independent (X) variable.
b. Note: the following is not a complete answer; it is just enough for you to know whether your short answer addressed the correct things: Multicollinearity is when the independent variables are highly correlated with one another. On the exam, also indicate how this affects the model, how one can identify if it is present, and what can be done to correct it.
c. Dummy variables are us ...

Effects of Team building and goal setting on productivity: A field Experiment
The first employee’s interview
Mr. Kay Nguyen is working at Burgerville for over 2 years. He said that working at Burgerville is only temporary while attending school. The hour he works is outside of his school time, so it helps pay for tuition. The work is very busy during high traffic hours, especially at the drive-through during dinnertime. His main responsibility is handling cashier, but he often help others where needed. He starts pay at minimum wages.
His supervisor encourages employees from time to time, but the wage is very low for employee to stay. He explains that turnover at Burgerville is below average compare to other place he has worked before.
Goal Setting:
What did you learn from this job? How does it impact your future? I encounter customers every day, I learn a lot about customer service in person. He dealt with all type of customers. He learned about servicing and created a friendly environment for customers
While studying and working, his self-motivation can encourage his learning and success, whatever be the scenario. He won’t stop staying here as a cashier. He will keep pushing himself to reach his goal setting
What are your obstacles? How do you deal with it? The most frustrate situation he endures during his tenure at Burgerville is the irresponsibility of other employees. They sometime either do not show up for work or call in. This creates a lot of pressure at work, as he has to cover for their shift. He usually has to stay extra hours to clean up and cover for other shifts.
Does BurgerVille create rewards or something to motivate its employee? Does it make you feel happy or comfortable when working there? Mr. Nguyen’s supervisor usually awards his employees with movie tickets for their performances. Also, they are a ...

Bullying in Schools Paper
Bullying is mean spirited and unwanted intimidation by another student. Bullying can come in many different forms but the result is an imbalance of power where one student suffers physical and verbal attacks as well as social exclusion. The bully repeatedly focuses in on their victims and subjects them to continued harassment and false rumors. Bullying causes the victims extreme emotional damage and lifelong pain but occurs most commonly in the school setting. In order to ensure that bullying is prevented the educational system will need to become more proactive and create programs and services designed to educate, reduce, deter and punish bullying.
Types and Extent of Bullying
The three types of bullying experienced by the youthful victim in the school setting consist of verbal and physical assaults as well as social exclusions. The types of verbal threats the victims of bullying suffer are name calling, false gossip, lewd sexual comments, taunts, and threats to cause harm. Physical assaults include hitting, kicking, pushing, tripping, pinching, and spitting on the victim. Social exclusions includes the bully taking steps to isolate the victim from peers by leaving them out of social events or gatherings and talking rudely about them to other peers. Other students will fear the bully and go along with their mean spirited actions. The victim will be isolated and the bully will take steps to embarrass the student in front of other peers. The bully will spread malicious rumors and make rude comments to the victim.
Adolescents are extremely sensitive to rejection and the opinions of peers, both of which can serve as catalysts for revenge (Booth, 2011). The result is the bullying becomes escalated and the victim takes revenge on the bully or physical altercations occur. Bullying is a major problem in society. While bullying occurs most in the school setting there are other places where bullying occurs. Bullies target victims using social networks and will bully them at social events. Victims of bullies are harassed and attacked on school buses and on school playgrounds as well as in the victim’s neighborhood. While bullying can happen anywhere it is most prevalent in schools making it the responsibility of educational systems to take steps to see it stopped.
In 2001 in a report conducted by the Bureau of Juvenile Justice Statistics it was discovered that 20% of all students will be bullied while in high school while the number creeps up to almost 30% when dealing with school children from second to sixth grade (DeVoe, 2009). This comes to one in seven students from kindergarten to twelfth grade being victims of bullying. Over half of the students surveyed have been witness to bullying in the school setting and over 70% find bullying is a real issue in their school as well as the report found girls where far more ...

Building student trust in online learning environments
Ye Diana Wang*
Department of Applied Information Technology, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA, USA
(Received 30 December 2013; final version received 19 June 2014)
As online learning continues to gain widespread attention and thrive as a
legitimate alternative to classroom instruction, educational institutions and online
instructors face the challenge of building and sustaining student trust in online
learning environments. The present study represents an attempt to address the
challenge by identifying the social and technical factors that can likely induce or
influence students’ perception about the trustworthiness of an online course and
integrating the factors into a socio-technical framework that can be empirically
validated. The methodology used and the data obtained from a university-wide
survey conducted in an American university are reported in this article. Feedback
from students with disabilities was further investigated, and the result has
important implications for our understanding of disabled students’ acceptance for
online learning.

Introduction and background
The need for building student trust in online learning environments
The tremendous advancements in information and telecommunication technologies
and their adoption in education have opened up new avenues for educational institu-
tions and students alike. As soon as the Internet became readily available to the pub-
lic, distance education was transformed from old-fashioned correspondence schools
using printed materials, telephone, TV, or videotape to today’s Internet-based
e-learning or online learning (Bernard et al., 2009; Sims, 2008).
Although online learning continues to grow in both presence and importance, its
potential is far from being fully utilized. There are still doubts about the effective-
ness of online learning environments (see Hashem, 2011). In addition, a higher num-
ber of e-learner dropouts, when compared with face-to-face courses, have been
reported (Bell & Federman, 2013; Patterson & McFadden, 2009; Tyler-Smith,
2006). This is especially true in the United States, where strong and consistent
national quality assurance measures are lacking for online educational institutions.
According to a more recent report, the 2012 Sloan Survey of Online Education,
nearly 90% of the surveyed academic leaders from more than 2800 colleges and uni-
versities in the United States have identified lower retention rates for online courses
as a barrier to the widespread adoption of online learning (Allen & Seaman, 2013).

Building 101I find a fun team building activity is two truths an.docx
Building 101
I find a fun team building activity is two truths and a lie. Each person writes three things about themselves and one is a lie. After this is done you allow an open mingle where everyone gets to talk and find as much about each other as they can. For larger groups you can divide and rotate to make things more efficient. After the mingling is done, each person stands up individually and states their three “facts”. The group then votes on what they think the lie is. This is a great activity because it allows everyone to share something about themselves. A team that knowns more about each other’s personalities, I believe can communicate more effectively.
One day at my work two individuals had a disagreement about how to handle a task and it escalated to shouting. Another crew member and I had to intervene and mediate. We compromised and handled the problem with elements of both plans. Sometimes all it takes to solve a problem is a simple compromise. However you have to make sure that you have a responsible team that will regulate themselves at times.
This is a somewhat subjective question so I can only answer for how I prefer bad news. At my work our pay was going to be cut due to low oil prices so the higher ups told our crew leader first who then told us. Since it was coming from our leader’s mouth and not from some piece of paper in the mail, it was much easier to handle. I think that bad news is better communicated first to the leader of various groups instead of being sent out all at once from someone nobody has ever met.
I will do a simple, yet I think very important example. Sometimes we get so caught up in the rush that we begin to tell people to do things instead of asking nicely. One time at work another member told his counterpart to go get a tool for him, and the way he asked him somewhat irritated the other man. We often forget how powerful a simple “please” can be for keeping order in a work place, even if it is just tacked on, the other person can usually appreciate the effort.
Building 102
One of the best team building activities I have been a part of is known as organization day in the Army. This is a day where all work related activities are shut down and everyone competes in games or sports. The activities range from tug-o-war to basketball. It gives everyone an opportunity to relax while at work and also helps build trust camaraderie with your coworkers. These are usually conducted on a Friday and families are invited to attend as well which helps promote a family atmosphere within the organization.
The most recent team conflict I dealt with was a conflict between a few of my subordinates. These personnel were government civilians who are authorized two 15 minute breaks a day plus an hour lunch. The conflict occurred between smokers and non-smokers. The non-smokers accused the smokers of taking more breaks than they were authorized which caused resentment for both parties. To r ...

All But Terminated: Artificial Intelligence’s Role in Society According to Terminator 2
A certain breed of Artificial Intelligence movies has focused on the anthropomorphized cyborg, beginning with early 1980’s films such as The Terminator and Blade Runner to 21st century box office hits like I, Robot. Interestingly, each movie shares a common dystopian thread manifesting society’s lurking subconscious fear of self-destruction. This fear of AI, however, is not just isolated to the worries of common man. Even Elon Musk, a tech billionaire whose innovative work dominates news headlines, has shown apprehension towards the adoption of AI, calling it “our greatest existential threat” and encouraging international regulations to avoid, as he says “doing something very foolish” (One on One with Elon Musk MIT AeroAstro Centennial Symposium). With knowledge of how pervasive our collective fear of AI is, it should come as no ...

Ch 3 PLCs and Processing I/O 1
Chapter 3 PLCs and Processing I/O
Introduction
After an introduction of PLCs in chapter one, various characteristics of the PLC need to be
discussed. The purpose now is to discuss what parts constitute a modern PLC and how these
parts interface. The topology of a PLC system is also discussed as to how PLCs are distributed
in a manufacturing environment to best control a process efficiently.
Since each is electronic and operates using one or more microprocessors, a 5 volt power supply
and CPU (central processing unit) are the core of the PLC. Included in the CPU is a computer
with memory and communications hardware to communicate to a programming panel, the I/O,
and to a network which is either peer-to-peer or a multimode network.
Many PLC vendors divide the work of the PLC between multiple microprocessors with
coordination handled by a master microprocessor. One processor may be assigned to handle the
I/O. Another may handle the networking and communication to the pro ...

BUS 1
Mini Exam – Chapters 05 – 10
40 Points
Short Answer – Mind your time
Answer four questions from #1 - #6. Must answer #3 and #6. Answer
the XC question for extra credit. Question point count weighted equally.
It is all about business, so make sure to demonstrate / synthesize the bigger picture of business in each and
every answer.
Like all essays, specifying an exacting target word count is rather problematic. I am thinking each answer
would be about 250 - 300 words each, depending upon writing style. If you tend to be descriptive and whatnot,
that number could be 350 - 450 words.
Sidebar: Gauge your knowledge level in this way. This exam should take about 90 – 120 minutes to complete.
Students taking much longer may want to work with me to assess / discuss ways to help master this material in
a future conference session.
1. Although most new firms start out as sole proprietorships, few large firms are organized this way. Why
is the sole proprietorship such a popular form of ownership for new firms? What features of the sole
proprietorship make it unattractive to growing firms?
2. List and discuss at least three causes of small business failure. Workarounds, fixes, or methods to avoid
failure should be discussed.
3. Describe three different leadership styles and give an example of a situation in which each style could be
most used effectively.
4. Discuss Max Weber's views on organization theory. Is there a few principles that particularly resonate
in business today?
5. How has the emphasis of quality control changed in recent years? Describe some of the modern quality
control techniques that illustrate this change in emphasis.
6. Explain how managers could motivate employees by using the principles outlined in expectancy
theory? Create a story/example of expectancy theory at work, incorporating the three questions that
according to expectancy theory employees will ask.
7. XC – What is selective perception? Can you describe a business-centric scenario where selective
perception may hinder a businessperson’s ability to respond to a customer need?

BUMP implementation in Java.docxThe project is to implemen.docx
BUMP implementation in Java.docx
The project is to implement the BUMP client in java, with window size 1. Here is an overview of the three WUMP protocols (BUMP, HUMP, and CHUMP). Here are the files wumppkt.java, containing the packet format classes, and wclient.java, which contains an outline of the actual program. Only the latter file should be modified; you should not have to make changes to wumppkt.java.
What you are to do is the following, by modifying and extending the wclient.java outline file:
· Implement the basic transfer
· Add all appropriate packet sanity checks: timeouts, host/port, size, opcode, and block number
· Generate output. The transferred file is to be written to System.out. A status message about every packet (listing size and block number) is to be written to System.err. Do not confuse these!
· Terminate after a packet of size less than 512 is received
· Implement an appropriate "dallying" strategy
· send an ERROR packet if it receives a packet from the wrong port. The appropriate ERRCODE in this case is EBADPORT.
An outline of the program main loop is attached
recommended that you implement this in phases, as follows.
1. Latch on to the new port: save the port number from Data[1], and make sure all ACKs get sent to this port. This will mean that the transfer completes. You should also make sure the client stops when a packet with less than 512 bytes of data is received. Unless you properly record the source port for Data[1], you have no place to which to send ACK[1]!
2. For each data packet received, write the data to System.out. All status messages should go to System.err, so the two data streams are separate if stdout is redirected. To write to System.out, use System.out.write:
System.out.write(byte[] buf, int offset, int length);
For your program, offset will be 0, buf will typically be dpacket.data(), where dpacket is of type DATA (wumppkt.DATA). The length will be dpacket.size() - wumppkt.DHEADERSIZE (or, equivalently, dg.getLength() - wumppkt.DHEADERSIZE, where dg is a DatagramPacket object).
3. Add sanity checks, for (in order) host/port, packet size, opcode, and block number.
4. Handle timeouts, by retransmitting the most recently sent packet when the elapsed time exceeds a certain amount (4 seconds?). One way to do this is to keep a DatagramPacket variable LastSent, which can either be reqDG or ackDG, and just resend LastSent. Note that the response to an InterruptedIOException, a "true" timeout, will simply be to continue the loop again.
5. Add support for an dallying and error packets. After the client has received the file, dallying means to wait 2.0 - 3.0 timeout intervals (or more) to see if the final data packet is retransmitted. If it is, it means that the final ACK was lost. The dally period gives the client an opportunity to resend the final ACK. Error packets are to be sent to any sender of an apparent data packet that comes from the wrong port.

Bulletin Board Submission 10 Points. Due by Monday at 900 a.m..docx
Bulletin Board Submission: 10 Points. Due by Monday at 9:00 a.m.
As you've learned, it is important to be able to determine the elements of a crime and there are several places to turn for assistance in doing so.
First - Look at the statute for the crime. For example, in New York, the statute for Petit Larceny is Penal Law 155.25.
Second - Check to see if any of the terms in the statute are defined in another statute. For example, in New York, Larceny is defined in Penal Law 155.05
Third - If the elements are not clear from the statute, you may want to research case law to see if the courts have established the elements for the crime.
Fourth - Always remember to check the Jury Instructions.
They are an excellent source for identifying the elements, as this is how the court explains the crime to the jury.
Many states are now posting their Jury Instructions on the internet.
Section One –
Keeping the above in mind, please provide the statute under which a Defendant in your state would be charged with Rape (1st Degree if your state breaks it down in that manner) In addition, provide any relevant statutory definitions and an overview of the Jury Instructions. Then, provide cases addressing at least one of the elements of the statute.

65 points
Due: Monday, December 9 at 11:59 p.m. EST (Blackboard submission)
Directions:
Part One (this part) of your final exam is to be just that – yours! I expect you will work independently of your classmates to complete the exam.
As always in BUS 371, your grade will be affected by the quality of your writing – clarity, spelling, grammar, syntax, etc.
1. How has this course changed your view and/or understanding of management and its role in contemporary organizations? In your answer, compare your understanding/perception of management at the beginning of the class with your current understanding/perception. Be specific and honest. (10 points)
2. Would you describe your experience with your class team in BUS 371 as better than most of your experiences with previous class teams, about the same as most of your experiences with previous class teams, or worse than most of your experiences with previous class teams? Be specific and explain what happened with your team for you to form your impression. (10 points)
Depending on your answer to question 2, you will answer EITHER question 3 or question 4.
3. If your experience with your class team was better than most of your experiences with previous class teams, what do you think contributed to the positive experience? From what you’ve learned in BUS 371 this semester, what can you do, as an individual student, in future class (and workplace) teams to contribute to their success? Be specific in your answer. (If your experience with your class team in BUS 371 this semester was about the same or worse than your previous experiences with class teams, skip this question and answer question 4.)

Burn with Us Sacrificing Childhood in The Hunger GamesSus.docx
This document provides a summary and analysis of the novel The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. It discusses how the novel depicts the sacrificing of childhood through the Hunger Games, where children are forced to fight to the death for entertainment. It explores themes of childhood, desire, identity formation, and how entering adulthood involves both recognition of culturally defined childhood as well as its loss. A key part of the analysis focuses on how the protagonist Katniss Everdeen develops a sense of self and is able to articulate her identity and desires through her experiences in the Hunger Games arena.

1) B
2) B
3) No, fan pattern (heteroscedasticity)
4) No, nonlinear relationship between X and Y
5) The black line is the regression line because it get closest to the sample points (minimizes error between the points and the line). The red line has a larger error; that is, larger total distance from points to the line.
6) Because it is reasonable to suppose that costs are dependent on production volume (since units are produced, directly resulting in costs), then regression is more appropriate for this data since regression is appropriate when an cause-and-effect relationship is assumed.
7) C
8) a) r = 0.8;
b) T = 1.31;
c) p = 0.117
d) There is no evidence of a significant correlation between X and Y in the population because we did not reject the null of H0: = 0.
9) Note: the following are not complete answers to Question 11; they are just enough for you to know whether your short answer addressed the correct things.
a) 1 = population slope, b1 = sample slope. On exam, would also want to address what you know (or don’t know) about each of these and how each is found.
b) An outlier can “drag” the regression line toward it. On the exam, also think about how this would affect the quality of your regression model and the predictions.
10) Yes, there appears to be a straight line relationship between the variables. Linear regression appears to be appropriate. The regression output is:
11) a) T = -0.09, p = 0.929, do not reject Ho, conclude there is no evidence of a relationship
b) R2 = 0.002 = 0.2%, No because value is very close to zero
c) Correlation = r = -0.0421. No, there is not a strong relationship between these variables. The correlation is nearly 0.
d) Regression line is Y^ = 1.26 – 0.035X.
Y^ = 1.26 – 0.035(100) = 1.26 – 3.5 = -2.24. No this does not make sense because you cannot have a negative number of near misses. It is not wise to predict with this model. The R-squared value is extremely low (essentially 0%), which means that there is no relationship at all between near misses and flights in this data. Therefore, predicting misses from flights is meaningless.
e) b1 = -0.035. As Number of flights increases by 1, we expect number of near misses to go down by 0.035. Or, put another way, as flights increases by 1000, we expect number of near misses to go down by 35. No, this does not make sense. We would assume that as flights increase, so would near misses.
12) a. Multiple regression is a direct extension of simple regression, except that now we have more than one independent (X) variable.
b. Note: the following is not a complete answer; it is just enough for you to know whether your short answer addressed the correct things: Multicollinearity is when the independent variables are highly correlated with one another. On the exam, also indicate how this affects the model, how one can identify if it is present, and what can be done to correct it.

Effects of Team building and goal setting on productivity: A field Experiment
The first employee’s interview
Mr. Kay Nguyen is working at Burgerville for over 2 years. He said that working at Burgerville is only temporary while attending school. The hour he works is outside of his school time, so it helps pay for tuition. The work is very busy during high traffic hours, especially at the drive-through during dinnertime. His main responsibility is handling cashier, but he often help others where needed. He starts pay at minimum wages.
His supervisor encourages employees from time to time, but the wage is very low for employee to stay. He explains that turnover at Burgerville is below average compare to other place he has worked before.
Goal Setting:
What did you learn from this job? How does it impact your future? I encounter customers every day, I learn a lot about customer service in person. He dealt with all type of customers. He learned about servicing and created a friendly environment for customers
While studying and working, his self-motivation can encourage his learning and success, whatever be the scenario. He won’t stop staying here as a cashier. He will keep pushing himself to reach his goal setting
What are your obstacles? How do you deal with it? The most frustrate situation he endures during his tenure at Burgerville is the irresponsibility of other employees. They sometime either do not show up for work or call in. This creates a lot of pressure at work, as he has to cover for their shift. He usually has to stay extra hours to clean up and cover for other shifts.
Does BurgerVille create rewards or something to motivate its employee? Does it make you feel happy or comfortable when working there? Mr. Nguyen’s supervisor usually awards his employees with movie tickets for their performances. Also, they are a ...

Bullying in Schools Paper
Bullying is mean spirited and unwanted intimidation by another student. Bullying can come in many different forms but the result is an imbalance of power where one student suffers physical and verbal attacks as well as social exclusion. The bully repeatedly focuses in on their victims and subjects them to continued harassment and false rumors. Bullying causes the victims extreme emotional damage and lifelong pain but occurs most commonly in the school setting. In order to ensure that bullying is prevented the educational system will need to become more proactive and create programs and services designed to educate, reduce, deter and punish bullying.
Types and Extent of Bullying
The three types of bullying experienced by the youthful victim in the school setting consist of verbal and physical assaults as well as social exclusions. The types of verbal threats the victims of bullying suffer are name calling, false gossip, lewd sexual comments, taunts, and threats to cause harm. Physical assaults include hitting, kicking, pushing, tripping, pinching, and spitting on the victim. Social exclusions includes the bully taking steps to isolate the victim from peers by leaving them out of social events or gatherings and talking rudely about them to other peers. Other students will fear the bully and go along with their mean spirited actions. The victim will be isolated and the bully will take steps to embarrass the student in front of other peers. The bully will spread malicious rumors and make rude comments to the victim.
Adolescents are extremely sensitive to rejection and the opinions of peers, both of which can serve as catalysts for revenge (Booth, 2011). The result is the bullying becomes escalated and the victim takes revenge on the bully or physical altercations occur. Bullying is a major problem in society. While bullying occurs most in the school setting there are other places where bullying occurs. Bullies target victims using social networks and will bully them at social events. Victims of bullies are harassed and attacked on school buses and on school playgrounds as well as in the victim’s neighborhood. While bullying can happen anywhere it is most prevalent in schools making it the responsibility of educational systems to take steps to see it stopped.
In 2001 in a report conducted by the Bureau of Juvenile Justice Statistics it was discovered that 20% of all students will be bullied while in high school while the number creeps up to almost 30% when dealing with school children from second to sixth grade (DeVoe, 2009). This comes to one in seven students from kindergarten to twelfth grade being victims of bullying. Over half of the students surveyed have been witness to bullying in the school setting and over 70% find bullying is a real issue in their school as well as the report found girls where far more ...

Building student trust in online learning environments
Ye Diana Wang*
Department of Applied Information Technology, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA, USA
(Received 30 December 2013; final version received 19 June 2014)
As online learning continues to gain widespread attention and thrive as a
legitimate alternative to classroom instruction, educational institutions and online
instructors face the challenge of building and sustaining student trust in online
learning environments. The present study represents an attempt to address the
challenge by identifying the social and technical factors that can likely induce or
influence students’ perception about the trustworthiness of an online course and
integrating the factors into a socio-technical framework that can be empirically
validated. The methodology used and the data obtained from a university-wide
survey conducted in an American university are reported in this article. Feedback
from students with disabilities was further investigated, and the result has
important implications for our understanding of disabled students’ acceptance for
online learning.

Introduction and background
The need for building student trust in online learning environments
The tremendous advancements in information and telecommunication technologies
and their adoption in education have opened up new avenues for educational institu-
tions and students alike. As soon as the Internet became readily available to the pub-
lic, distance education was transformed from old-fashioned correspondence schools
using printed materials, telephone, TV, or videotape to today’s Internet-based
e-learning or online learning (Bernard et al., 2009; Sims, 2008).
Although online learning continues to grow in both presence and importance, its
potential is far from being fully utilized. There are still doubts about the effective-
ness of online learning environments (see Hashem, 2011). In addition, a higher num-
ber of e-learner dropouts, when compared with face-to-face courses, have been
reported (Bell & Federman, 2013; Patterson & McFadden, 2009; Tyler-Smith,
2006). This is especially true in the United States, where strong and consistent
national quality assurance measures are lacking for online educational institutions.
According to a more recent report, the 2012 Sloan Survey of Online Education,
nearly 90% of the surveyed academic leaders from more than 2800 colleges and uni-
versities in the United States have identified lower retention rates for online courses
as a barrier to the widespread adoption of online learning (Allen & Seaman, 2013).

Building 101I find a fun team building activity is two truths an.docx
Building 101
I find a fun team building activity is two truths and a lie. Each person writes three things about themselves and one is a lie. After this is done you allow an open mingle where everyone gets to talk and find as much about each other as they can. For larger groups you can divide and rotate to make things more efficient. After the mingling is done, each person stands up individually and states their three “facts”. The group then votes on what they think the lie is. This is a great activity because it allows everyone to share something about themselves. A team that knowns more about each other’s personalities, I believe can communicate more effectively.
One day at my work two individuals had a disagreement about how to handle a task and it escalated to shouting. Another crew member and I had to intervene and mediate. We compromised and handled the problem with elements of both plans. Sometimes all it takes to solve a problem is a simple compromise. However you have to make sure that you have a responsible team that will regulate themselves at times.
This is a somewhat subjective question so I can only answer for how I prefer bad news. At my work our pay was going to be cut due to low oil prices so the higher ups told our crew leader first who then told us. Since it was coming from our leader’s mouth and not from some piece of paper in the mail, it was much easier to handle. I think that bad news is better communicated first to the leader of various groups instead of being sent out all at once from someone nobody has ever met.
I will do a simple, yet I think very important example. Sometimes we get so caught up in the rush that we begin to tell people to do things instead of asking nicely. One time at work another member told his counterpart to go get a tool for him, and the way he asked him somewhat irritated the other man. We often forget how powerful a simple “please” can be for keeping order in a work place, even if it is just tacked on, the other person can usually appreciate the effort.
Building 102
One of the best team building activities I have been a part of is known as organization day in the Army. This is a day where all work related activities are shut down and everyone competes in games or sports. The activities range from tug-o-war to basketball. It gives everyone an opportunity to relax while at work and also helps build trust camaraderie with your coworkers. These are usually conducted on a Friday and families are invited to attend as well which helps promote a family atmosphere within the organization.
The most recent team conflict I dealt with was a conflict between a few of my subordinates. These personnel were government civilians who are authorized two 15 minute breaks a day plus an hour lunch. The conflict occurred between smokers and non-smokers. The non-smokers accused the smokers of taking more breaks than they were authorized which caused resentment for both parties. To r ...

All But Terminated: Artificial Intelligence’s Role in Society According to Terminator 2
A certain breed of Artificial Intelligence movies has focused on the anthropomorphized cyborg, beginning with early 1980’s films such as The Terminator and Blade Runner to 21st century box office hits like I, Robot. Interestingly, each movie shares a common dystopian thread manifesting society’s lurking subconscious fear of self-destruction. This fear of AI, however, is not just isolated to the worries of common man. Even Elon Musk, a tech billionaire whose innovative work dominates news headlines, has shown apprehension towards the adoption of AI, calling it “our greatest existential threat” and encouraging international regulations to avoid, as he says “doing something very foolish” (One on One with Elon Musk MIT AeroAstro Centennial Symposium). With knowledge of how pervasive our collective fear of AI is, it should come as no ...

Ch 3 PLCs and Processing I/O 1
Chapter 3 PLCs and Processing I/O
Introduction
After an introduction of PLCs in chapter one, various characteristics of the PLC need to be
discussed. The purpose now is to discuss what parts constitute a modern PLC and how these
parts interface. The topology of a PLC system is also discussed as to how PLCs are distributed
in a manufacturing environment to best control a process efficiently.
Since each is electronic and operates using one or more microprocessors, a 5 volt power supply
and CPU (central processing unit) are the core of the PLC. Included in the CPU is a computer
with memory and communications hardware to communicate to a programming panel, the I/O,
and to a network which is either peer-to-peer or a multimode network.
Many PLC vendors divide the work of the PLC between multiple microprocessors with
coordination handled by a master microprocessor. One processor may be assigned to handle the
I/O. Another may handle the networking and communication to the pro ...

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
