ERP SYSTEM IMPLIMENTATION PROJECT
Introduction
Selecting the right project to do from so many available projects is a difficult task. Making choice on the project to do may sound obvious, however, choosing the right project increases the chances of being successful in the project. People should take enough time to choose the kind of project that they intent to do. The success and completion of the project is also affected by the time the individual spent in choosing the project and setting up for success right at the start of the project. It is very fundamental to apply some practically perfect filters to the process of selecting of the project to make sure that the good ones get through and the bad ones are disallowed. This process is a part of the practically perfect project management method as it is the initial step in any successful project. The process of project selection begins with all the potential project going through a repeatable and rigorous and appropriate selection process (Frank, 2011).
The project chosen is the installation of the ERP system. The first question before starting this project is knowing whether there is a need for this system. ERP system purchase should be considered if the firm is faced with issues of disparate data, time lag and operational inefficiencies. The firm that is in an excessive need of manual labor, hardships in reconciling financial and problems in coordination of inventory, sales and manufacturing and extracting sound business data out of the system needs to have this system. There is also an increased need for IT for maintaining the firm operations and the system integration. These are some of the things that make the ERP project necessary. The knowledge on the products offered by the firm, the objectives in the IT and operational infrastructure are critical in choosing the ERP system.
Prior to choosing this project, several factors were considered. There are several decision points that need to be looked at before the project starts. The selection criteria that the project team need to know before the start of the project is needed. There are several considerations to guide in the selection of this project.
Identifying the stakeholders
The ERP system is not like other small software packages in a company that only effects only a section of the firm. It is a large system that has impact on every sector of the business. This makes the stakeholders of this project to include the users from all parts of the company and every level of the company that is affected by the system. This includes the end users who get the information collected or the workers who find that the processes of the firm they are used to have been changed. The stakeholders and the users who are involved ...

Work Management Plan
The work management plan is a plan put together by the project manager at the beginning of the project. It contains all of the steps needed to complete the project and who is responsible for the tasks. The work management plan can be used in conjunction with the work breakdown structure, but does not need to contain the directions of how to accomplish the tasks. “Work plans document all activities to be undertaken, keep everyone moving in the same direction, and allow for comparison with and prioritizing against competing projects. If we do not know where we are in our work at any given point in time, we cannot accurately plan, schedule, or proceed with future efforts. Once projects are under way, we need a map to remind us of what is next, when it is due, and who is responsible for it.” (Burgher & Snyder, 2012)
In the project of The Cheesecake Factory delivery service, the project manager will be responsible for creating the work management plan. Since the timeline of the project is primarily within 60 days for most deliverables, the work management plan will be updated on a weekly basis and discussed at project meetings. Each task within the project will be outlined to include what is to be done and by whom. The person responsible for each action item will be asked to update the work plan weekly with their progress as to the status. However, the only person that will be permitted to add new tasks or change existing tasks will be the project manager. Having a plan that is accessible and visible to the team will aide in keeping the project within scope and on schedule. Additionally, with only the project manager being able to make changes, it will prevent chaos within the project planning.
Quality Assurance
Quality assurance is part of the planned activities to ensure the project is meeting the objectives that it is supposed to. They are “the things that the project team will do to determine if project performance is meeting the requirements of quality and other standards. The activities are the things the project team will do to check project performance against the project plan using specifications as the targets.” (Rose, 2014)
As part of the quality assurance with The Cheesecake Factory delivery service project, there will be several inspections along the course of the project. There will be project team members from marketing and operations that will be responsible for inspecting the final product of the customized delivery vehicles to ensure they are within the guidelines of what was ordered and agreed upon. There will also be a specific marketing team in place to review marketing materials after printing to ensure everything was processed correctly on that end.

Software Implementation Portfolio Project
Abstract/Executive summary:
The purpose of this project is to implement new software into the company to increase productivity. The company uses its current software to create logos, labels, and many other things for large companies. The other goals are to update the protection on the software because in the past there have been a few problems with the security of the software and the information on the software. Another important goal is to have the computers and memory updated to work more efficiently that before. The software has been slow and has not been able to keep up with the new graphics needed for the current projects. The software will crash and then be down for days or longer. This is causing loss of customers and over all bad for the company.
The overall goal for this project is for the new software to be installed, working properly, and producing the power needed to create the projects for the company. I, as the project manager have decided to do agile methodology for the project. There have been multiple projects prior to this one done the same way and it seemed to go well for the company. The project is set to start August eight, so in just a few days and everything is going as planned. The deadline for this project is December twelfth. The project should be about one hundred days long from begging to end. The budget for this project is two hundred fifty thousand dollars and it is being estimated at just over two twenty-four thousand dollars. There is a continuity budget of twenty thousand dollars.
Work Breakdown Structure
Activity/Network Diagram:
Due to space the rest of the Network diagram will be submitted in MS project form. To view critical path, logical relationships, lead/lag, and ES/EF/LS/LF will be easier to view in MS project as well.
Schedule and Budget:
To look at the schedule and budget more in depth and to view the rest of it please view microsoft project.
Change Management Plan:
This project will be an agile project methodology. Since this projec is agile methodology there will be a lot of change and will need to be processes in place to manage the changes. One important tool that will be used to keep up with changes is a change request form. This form will help state what is needed and why and all of the details for the change. Anther important tool is managing the triple constraint of the scope, budget, and quality of the project. When changes come these things will change too. Manging these things can help keep the project from risks and other problems.
The process that will be used for this project is the John Kotters eight-step change process. It consists of eight steps to guide and lead change in a project. The first step is creating urgency. This is basically like triaging the changes by determinng which ones are most important and need to happen sooner than less important ch ...

Project:
Rolling out iPads/eMenus for Bob Restaurants
Project Scope:
To be termed successful, the e-Menu project will deliver software applications that will allow users log into the system to view available products and place orders. Toward the end, the project spans a project kick-off stage and stake holders meeting to inform and get approval from top managers. The project further scopes an analysis of the e-Menu idea, contracting a vendor to code the application, designing the system, developing, testing, pilot roll out, training end users, releasing contractors after deployment, and monitoring as well as documenting lessons learned.
This work has been divided into major deliverables and classified as shown in the WBS. As stated earlier, contractors will be employed to complete the design and development phase. This is due to the fact that Bob Evans Firm doesn’t specialize in systems designs.

online food delivery system projects.docxAKHILPATEL92
Rapid technological advancements have disrupted multiple sectors, including communication, banking, and business. Before the Web's advent, businesses were confronting obstacles in connecting with the customers, boosting service speed, and monitoring the business climate. The Web bridged the gap and played a crucial role in transforming the business climate completely. Also, emerging technological trends are forcing companies to adopt and integrate new technologies to improve customer experience.
Though technology disrupted conventional business practices, it also empowered small businesses to strive to broaden their horizons. The feeders attempt to leverage the Web's potential for bridging the gap between customers and business. Big players like Uber Eats have adopted technologies that quickly address and resolve customer's issues. Feeders.com is an effort to boost the capabilities of a newly launched restaurant that provides online food delivery services. Feeders currently are being operated in a single city. They don't have much muscle in allocating massive sums of money for improving customer experience, and their complaint management is also incapable of managing compliments quickly. The venture is in infancy; therefore, the quick attention to complaints can provide a competitive advantage. Also, having a well-functioning complaint management system can facilitate a healthy flow of information within the organization.
Feeders will integrate an online complaint management system in the form of a portal on its site. With the site, users will be able to provide feedback related to the taste, food delivery, and any other issues. The integrated mechanism, then, automatically sorts the complaints. Moreover, the constructed portal will serve as a bridge between customers and the restaurant staff. Presently, the team manages complaints manually, which consumes a considerable amount of time.
The website of the restaurant is also not upgraded. So, the team is required to redesign the site and in order to improve its user experience. The program will automatically schedule the complaints to notify the right person. Proven and time-tested methods were utilized in the design and development of feeders.com. Languages like HTML, CSS, PHP, and MySQL are widely popular languages that are commonly used to execute such operations.
To execute the project on time with no errors, a significant amount of attention has been given to each and every phase of the project. Effective project management, neat and clean coding, excellent test planning, and detailed documentation helped the team deliver a high-quality, fully functioning web portal.

(a) Thrasymachus’ (the sophist’s) definition of Justice or Right or Right Doing/Living is “The Interest of the Stronger (Might makes Right).” How does Socrates refute this definition? (cite just
one
of his arguments) [cf:
The Republic
, 30-40, Unit 1 Lecture Video]
(b) According to Socrates, what is the true definition of Justice or Right? [cf:
The Republic

Software Implementation Portfolio Project
Abstract/Executive summary:
The purpose of this project is to implement new software into the company to increase productivity. The company uses its current software to create logos, labels, and many other things for large companies. The other goals are to update the protection on the software because in the past there have been a few problems with the security of the software and the information on the software. Another important goal is to have the computers and memory updated to work more efficiently that before. The software has been slow and has not been able to keep up with the new graphics needed for the current projects. The software will crash and then be down for days or longer. This is causing loss of customers and over all bad for the company.
The overall goal for this project is for the new software to be installed, working properly, and producing the power needed to create the projects for the company. I, as the project manager have decided to do agile methodology for the project. There have been multiple projects prior to this one done the same way and it seemed to go well for the company. The project is set to start August eight, so in just a few days and everything is going as planned. The deadline for this project is December twelfth. The project should be about one hundred days long from begging to end. The budget for this project is two hundred fifty thousand dollars and it is being estimated at just over two twenty-four thousand dollars. There is a continuity budget of twenty thousand dollars.
Work Breakdown Structure
Activity/Network Diagram:
Due to space the rest of the Network diagram will be submitted in MS project form. To view critical path, logical relationships, lead/lag, and ES/EF/LS/LF will be easier to view in MS project as well.
Schedule and Budget:
To look at the schedule and budget more in depth and to view the rest of it please view microsoft project.
Change Management Plan:
This project will be an agile project methodology. Since this projec is agile methodology there will be a lot of change and will need to be processes in place to manage the changes. One important tool that will be used to keep up with changes is a change request form. This form will help state what is needed and why and all of the details for the change. Anther important tool is managing the triple constraint of the scope, budget, and quality of the project. When changes come these things will change too. Manging these things can help keep the project from risks and other problems.
The process that will be used for this project is the John Kotters eight-step change process. It consists of eight steps to guide and lead change in a project. The first step is creating urgency. This is basically like triaging the changes by determinng which ones are most important and need to happen sooner than less important ch ...
Project Rolling out iPadseMenus for Bob RestaurantsProject S.docxkacie8xcheco
Project:
Rolling out iPads/eMenus for Bob Restaurants
Project Scope:
To be termed successful, the e-Menu project will deliver software applications that will allow users log into the system to view available products and place orders. Toward the end, the project spans a project kick-off stage and stake holders meeting to inform and get approval from top managers. The project further scopes an analysis of the e-Menu idea, contracting a vendor to code the application, designing the system, developing, testing, pilot roll out, training end users, releasing contractors after deployment, and monitoring as well as documenting lessons learned.
This work has been divided into major deliverables and classified as shown in the WBS. As stated earlier, contractors will be employed to complete the design and development phase. This is due to the fact that Bob Evans Firm doesn’t specialize in systems designs.

online food delivery system projects.docxAKHILPATEL92
Rapid technological advancements have disrupted multiple sectors, including communication, banking, and business. Before the Web's advent, businesses were confronting obstacles in connecting with the customers, boosting service speed, and monitoring the business climate. The Web bridged the gap and played a crucial role in transforming the business climate completely. Also, emerging technological trends are forcing companies to adopt and integrate new technologies to improve customer experience.
Though technology disrupted conventional business practices, it also empowered small businesses to strive to broaden their horizons. The feeders attempt to leverage the Web's potential for bridging the gap between customers and business. Big players like Uber Eats have adopted technologies that quickly address and resolve customer's issues. Feeders.com is an effort to boost the capabilities of a newly launched restaurant that provides online food delivery services. Feeders currently are being operated in a single city. They don't have much muscle in allocating massive sums of money for improving customer experience, and their complaint management is also incapable of managing compliments quickly. The venture is in infancy; therefore, the quick attention to complaints can provide a competitive advantage. Also, having a well-functioning complaint management system can facilitate a healthy flow of information within the organization.
Feeders will integrate an online complaint management system in the form of a portal on its site. With the site, users will be able to provide feedback related to the taste, food delivery, and any other issues. The integrated mechanism, then, automatically sorts the complaints. Moreover, the constructed portal will serve as a bridge between customers and the restaurant staff. Presently, the team manages complaints manually, which consumes a considerable amount of time.
The website of the restaurant is also not upgraded. So, the team is required to redesign the site and in order to improve its user experience. The program will automatically schedule the complaints to notify the right person. Proven and time-tested methods were utilized in the design and development of feeders.com. Languages like HTML, CSS, PHP, and MySQL are widely popular languages that are commonly used to execute such operations.
To execute the project on time with no errors, a significant amount of attention has been given to each and every phase of the project. Effective project management, neat and clean coding, excellent test planning, and detailed documentation helped the team deliver a high-quality, fully functioning web portal.

1. The major factors which are included in the low-stress handling.docxpaynetawnya
1. The major factors which are included in the low-stress handling are the reduction of stressors, which can be of any form as these inculcate fear in the cattle which effects the control mechanism of the cow. The disturbance in control mechanisms yields adverse results such that the cows are mostly underweight, there is a lower milk yield and low conception rates in addition to the sustained diseases.
2. When the cattle are treated aggressively, a lot of problems occur including the bruising of the animals while transferring them, which affects their health which ultimately impacts their productivity.

(Glossary of Telemedicine and eHealth)· Teleconsultation Cons.docxAASTHA76
(Glossary of Telemedicine and eHealth)
· Teleconsultation: Consultation between a provider and specialist at distance using either store and forward telemedicine or real time videoconferencing.
· Telehealth and Telemedicine: Telemedicine is the use of medical information exchanged from one site to another via electronic communications to improve patients' health status. Closely associated with telemedicine is the term "telehealth," which is often used to encompass a broader definition of remote healthcare that does not always involve clinical services. Videoconferencing, transmission of still images, e-health including patient portals, remote monitoring of vital signs, continuing medical education and nursing call centers are all considered part of telemedicine and telehealth. Telemedicine is not a separate medical specialty. Products and services related to telemedicine are often part of a larger investment by health care institutions in either information technology or the delivery of clinical care. Even in the reimbursement fee structure, there is usually no distinction made between services provided on site and those provided through telemedicine and often no separate coding required for billing of remote services. Telemedicine encompasses different types of programs and services provided for the patient. Each component involves different providers and consumers.
· TeleICU: TeleICU is a collaborative, interprofessional model focusing on the care of critically ill patients using telehealth technologies.
· Telemonitoring: The process of using audio, video, and other telecommunications and electronic information processing technologies to monitor the health status of a patient from a distance.
· Telemonitoring: The process of using audio, video, and other telecommunications and electronic information processing technologies to monitor the health status of a patient from a distance.
· Clinical Decision Support System (CCDS): Systems (usually electronically based and interactive) that provide clinicians, staff, patients, and other individuals with knowledge and person-specific information, intelligently filtered and presented at appropriate times, to enhance health and health care. (http://healthit.ahrq.gov/images/jun09cdsreview/09_0069_ef.html)
· e-Prescribing: The electronic generation, transmission and filling of a medical prescription, as opposed to traditional paper and faxed prescriptions. E-prescribing allows for qualified healthcare personnel to transmit a new prescription or renewal authorization to a community or mail-order pharmacy.
· Home Health Care and Remote Monitoring Systems: Care provided to individuals and families in their place of residence for promoting, maintaining, or restoring health or for minimizing the effects of disability and illness, including terminal illness. In the Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey and Medicare claims and enrollment data, home health care refers to home visits by professionals including nu.
(Assmt 1; Week 3 paper) Using ecree Doing the paper and s.docxAASTHA76
(Assmt 1; Week 3 paper): Using ecree Doing the paper and submitting it (two pages here)
Have this sheet handy as well as the sheet called FORMAT SAMPLE PAPER for Assignment 1.
1. Go to the Week 3 unit and find the blue link ASSIGNMENT 1: DEALING WITH DIVERSITY…. Click on it.
2. You will see instructions on the screen and at the top “Assignment 1: ecree”. Click on that to enter ecree.
3. You will see some summary of the assignment instructions at the top of the screen—scroll down to see the three long, blank, rectangular boxes. You will be typing into those. Remember—do not worry about a title page or double spacing. Start composing your paragraphs. It will start as a rough draft.
4. As you start typing your introduction—notice on the right that comments start developing and also video links. Also on the right you will it say “Saved a Few seconds ago”. It is saving as you go. At first the comments are red (unfavorable). The more you do, usually the more green (favorable) comments start to appear. You can also keep revising.
5. When you hit the enter key it takes you to the next paragraph box—and sometimes it creates a new paragraph box for you.
6. Doing your Sources list in ecree—Your sources do have to be listed at the end. The FORMAT SAMPLE paper illustrates what they might look like. But, putting them in ecree gracefully can be a challenge.
a. Perhaps the best way is this: Have the last regular paragraph of your essay (Part 4) be in the box labeled “Conclusion”. Once that paragraph is written—in whole or in part, do this: Click on the word “Conclusion” to form a following paragraph box marked by three dots. Keep doing that and put each source in its own “three-dot” box. In other words, after your Conclusion paragraph—the heading “Sources” gets its own paragraph box at the end, followed by separate paragraph boxes for each source entry.
b. If the approach labeled “a” above is not working out, don’t worry about the external labels of those last paragraph boxes---just be sure to have a concluding paragraph (your Part 4) followed by paragraphs for the Sources header and each source entry. In grading, I will be able to figure it out. I will be lenient on how you organize that last part, as long as you have that last paragraph and a clear Sources list.
------------------------------------
UPLOAD OPTION: You can type your paper or a good rough draft of it into MS-Word as a file. Have it organized and laid out like the FORMAT SAMPLE paper. Then Upload it to ecree. Once you upload, take a little time and edit what uploaded so that it looks like what you intended and fits the 4-part organization of the assignment.
-----------------------
7. Click “Submit” on lower right only when absolutely ready. Once you submit, it will get graded.
Have fun! (see next page for a few notes and comments on ecree)

Introduction
Explore the cultural and intercultural communication dimensions of place, space and location. We will examine:
The dynamic process of placing and displacing cultural space in the context of globalization.
How people use communicative practices to construct, maintain, negotiate, and hybridize cultural spaces
How segregated, contested, and hybrid cultural spaces are both shaped by the legacy of colonialism and the context of globalization.
How Hip hop culture illustrates the cultural and intercultural dimensions of place, space, and location in the context of globalization
+
Placing Culture and Cultural Space
Culture, by definition, is rooted in place with a reciprocal relationship between people and place
Culture:
“Place tilled” in Middle English
Colere : “to inhabit, care for, till, worship” in Latin
In the context of globalization, what is the relationship between culture and place?
Culture is both placed and displaced
+
Cultural Space
The communicative practices that construct meanings in, through and about particular places
Cultural space shapes verbal and nonverbal communicative practices
i.e. Classrooms, dance club, library.
Cultural spaces are constructed through the communicative practices developed and lived by people in particular places
Communicative practices include:
The languages, accents, slang, dress, artifacts, architectural design, the behaviors and patterns of interaction, the stories, the discourses and histories
How is the cultural space of your home, neighborhood, city, and state constructed through communicative practices?
+
Place, Cultural Space and Identity
Place, Culture, Identity and Difference
What’s the relationship between place and identity?
Avowed identity:
The way we see, label and make meaning about ourselves and
Ascribed identity:
The way others view, name and describe us and our group
Examples of how avowed and ascribed identities may conflict?
How is place related to standpoint and power?
Locations of enunciation:
Sites or positions from which to speak.
A platform from which to voice a perspective and be heard and/or silenced.

From Social Class and the Hidden Curriculum of Work
JEAN ANYON
It's no surprise that schools in wealthy communities are better than those in poor communities, or that they better prepare their students for
desirable jobs. It may be shocking, however, to learn how vast the differences in schools are - not so much in resources as in teaching methods
and philosophies of education. Jean Anyon observed five elementary schools over the course of a full school year and concluded that fifth-
graders of different economic backgrounds are already being prepared to occupy particular rungs on the social ladder. In a sense, some whole
schools are on the vocational education track, while others are geared to produce future doctors, lawyers, and business leaders. Anyon's main
audience is professional educators, so you may find her style and vocabulary challenging, but, once you've read her descriptions of specific
classroom activities, the more analytic parts of the essay should prove easier to understand. Anyon is chairperson of the Department of
Education at Rutgers University, Newark; This essay first appeared in Journal of Education in 1980.
Scholars in political economy and the sociology of knowledge have recently argued that public schools in complex industrial societies like our
own make available different types of educational experience and curriculum knowledge to students in different social classes. Bowles and
Gintis1 for example, have argued that students in different social-class backgrounds are rewarded for classroom behaviors that correspond to
personality traits allegedly rewarded in the different occupational strata--the working classes for docility and obedience, the managerial classes
for initiative and personal assertiveness. Basil Bernstein, Pierre Bourdieu, and Michael W. Apple focusing on school knowledge, have argued
that knowledge and skills leading to social power and regard (medical, legal, managerial) are made available to the advantaged social groups but
are withheld from the working classes to whom a more "practical" curriculum is offered (manual skills, clerical knowledge). While there has
been considerable argumentation of these points regarding education in England, France, and North America, there has been little or no attempt
to investigate these ideas empirically in elementary or secondary schools and classrooms in this country.3
This article offers tentative empirical support (and qualification) of the above arguments by providing illustrative examples of differences in
student work in classrooms in contrasting social class communities. The examples were gathered as part of an ethnographical4 study of
curricular, pedagogical, and pupil evaluation practices in five elementary schools. The article attempts a theoretical contribution as well and
assesses student work in the light of a theoretical approach to social-class analysis.. . It will be suggested that there is a "hidden.

Nonprofit Photography: Ethics
and Approaches
Best practices and tips on ethics and approaches in
humanitarian photography for social impact.
The first moon landing. The Vietnamese ‘napalm girl’, running naked and in agony. The World
Trade Centers falling.
As we know, photography carries the power to inspire, educate, horrify and compel its viewers to
take action. Images evoke strong and often public emotions, as people frequently formulate their
opinions, judgments and behaviors in response to visual stimuli. Because of this, photography
can wield substantial control over public perception and discourse.
Moreover, photography in our digital age permits us to deliver complex information about
remote conditions which can be rapidly distributed and effortlessly processed by the viewer.
Recently, we’ve witnessed the profound impact of photography coupled with social media:
together, they have fueled political movements and brought down a corrupt government.
Photography can - and has - changed the course of history.
Ethical Considerations
Those who commission and create photography of marginalized populations to further an
organizations’ mission possess a tremendous responsibility. Careful ethical consideration should
be given to all aspects of the photography supply chain: its planning, creation, and distribution.
When planning a photography campaign, it is important to examine the motives for creating
particular images and their potential impact. Not only must a faithful, comprehensive visual
depiction of the subjects be created to avoid causing misconception, but more importantly, the
subjects’ dignity must be preserved. Words and images that elicit an emotional response by their
sheer shock value (e.g. starving, skeletal children covered in flies) are harmful because they
exploit the subjects’ condition in order to generate sympathy for increasing charitable donations
or support for a given cause. In addition to violating privacy and human rights, this so-called
'poverty porn’ is harmful to those it is trying to aid because it evokes the idea that the
marginalized are helpless and incapable of helping themselves, thereby cultivating a culture of
paternalism. Poverty porn is also detrimental because it is degrading, dishonoring and robs
people of their dignity. While it is important to illustrate the challenges of a population, one must
always strive to tell stories in a way that honors the subjects’ circumstances, and (ideally)
illustrates hope for their plight.
Legal issues
Legal issues are more clear cut when images are created or used in stable countries where legal
precedent for photography use has been established. Image use and creation becomes far more
murky and problematic in countries in which law and order is vague or even nonexistent.
Even though images created for no.

10 Event Trends for 2019
I am very glad to welcome you to the 8th edition of our annual
event trends. This is going to be a different one.
One element that made our event trends stand out from
the thousands of reports and articles on the topic is that we
don’t care about pleasing companies, pundits, suppliers, star
planners and the likes. Our only focus is you, the reader, to
help you navigate through very uncertain times.
This is why I decided to bring back this report, by far the most
popular in the industry, to its roots. 10 trends that will actually
materialize between now and November 2019, when we will
publish edition number nine.
I feel you have a lot going on, with your events I mean.
F&B, room blocks, sponsorship, marketing security, technology.
I think I failed you in previous editions. I think I gave you too
much. This report will be the most concise and strategic piece
of content you will need for next year.
If you don’t read anything else this year, it’s fine. As long as you
read the next few words.

// Function: void parse(char *line, char **argv)
// Purpose : This function takes in a null terminated string pointed to by

// When the function returns, the string pointed to by the
// pointer <line> has ALL of its whitespace characters (space,
// tab, and newline) turned into null characters ('\0'). The
// array of pointers to chars will be modified so that the zeroth
// slot will point to the first non-null character in the string
// pointed to by <line>, the oneth slot will point to the second
// non-null character in the string pointed to by <line>, and so
// on. In other words, each subsequent pointer in argv will point
// to each subsequent "token" (characters separated by white space)
// IN the block of memory stored at the pointer <line>. Since all
// the white space is replaced by '\0', every one of these "tokens"
// pointed to by subsequent entires of argv will be a valid string
// The "last" entry in the argv array will be set to NULL. This
// will mark the end of the tokens in the string.
//
void parse(char *line, char **argv)
{
// We will assume that the input string is NULL terminated. If it
// is not, this code WILL break. The rewriting of whitespace characters
// and the updating of pointers in argv are interleaved. Basically
// we do a while loop that will go until we run out of characters in
// the string (the outer while loop that goes until '\0'). Inside
// that loop, we interleave between rewriting white space (space, tab,
// and newline) with nulls ('\0') AND just skipping over non-whitespace.
// Note that whenever we encounter a non-whitespace character, we record
// that address in the array of address at argv and increment it. When
// we run out of tokens in the string, we make the last entry in the array
// at argv NULL. This marks the end of pointers to tokens. Easy, right?
while (*line != '\0') // outer loop. keep going until the whole string is read
{ // keep moving forward the pointer into the input string until
// we encounter a non-whitespace character. While we're at it,
// turn all those whitespace characters we're seeing into null chars.
while (*line == ' ' || *line == '\t' || *line == '\n' || *line == '\r')
{ *line = '\0';
line++;
}
// If I got this far, I MUST be looking at a non-whitespace character,
// or, the beginning of a token. So, let's record the address of this
// beginning of token to the address I'm pointing at now. (Put it in *argv)

Report of Independent Auditors
To the Executive Board of the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the National Council of the Boy Scouts
of America and its affiliates (the National Council), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position
as of December 31, 2016, and the related consolidated statements of revenues, expenses, and other changes in net
assets, of functional expenses and of cash flows for the year then ended.
Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the
design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of
consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We
conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of
the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making
those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the National Council’s preparation and fair
presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the National Council’s
internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of
accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial sta.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

19Introduction
To gain a competitive edge in today’s business world calls for
top-notch ideas coupled with technology. With the advent of the
internet era, every organization is seeking a space to popularize
its products online. Like most successful organizations, Bob
Evans Farms, Inc. prides itself for embracing this change too.
To beat disadvantage posited by geographical space, Bob Evans
has identified a niche in reaching out to its clients over the
internet. This is in line with the firm’s strategic plans to
improve on its customers experience by offering customer
centered services. This platform sales to a large group of
individuals while equally saving the organization the trouble of
massive advertisement on other medias like TV and Radio
(Fazlollahi, 2002).
Every house hold has at least a smartphone or tablet and with
the digital revolution, human beings spend more time on this
hand held devices than on any other activity. This fact equally
proves the potential of the eMenu service meant to run on hand
held devices. Infographics published in 2012 by Nielsen affirm,
61% of global respondents indicated they use online platforms
to order foods, beverages and groceries due to convenience,
value and choice (Nielsen.com, 2012).
To that end, the recently approved roll out of an iPad and tablet
e-Menu system project is very crucial in netting in a
competitive advantage. The said project is expected to solve the
problem of scanty information on the market about Bob Evans
Firm (Barling, 2011). Secondly, it aims at offering an online
tool to make fast orders at the comfort of one’s home or office
and get the food delivered conveniently (p.34). Bob Evans
farms, Inc. already holds a bank of information on customer
preferences pointing out on a demand for the firm to integrate
an online platform. This project documents the methodology
3. used in achieving an e-Menu system. To that end, it details
activities, a timeline schedule and resources consumed.
Project Management Approach
The project manager will head the steering committee. That is,
planning and organizing responsibilities all lie within his
docket. Due to the multifaceted nature of the project other key
personnel have been structured to work under the project
manager. This is a general rule of thumb that conforms to the
PMBOK guidelines that require only one top manager for all
project activities (Young, 2013). In general terms, the project
assumes a three tier organization model. Stakeholders
representing Bob Evans Farms Inc. are on one side of the sea
saw, the project manager at the middle of the tier, while vendors
on the other extreme end (p.56).
The project manager, will be charged with securing all
resources necessary for running of the project from the
stakeholders. Equally important, he will recruit and manage an
8 member team including his own assistant. All work
delegations will be centrally managed by the manager with the
help of his assistant.
Vendors will be answerable to the project manager. To maintain
good ethic and a clear work direction, an acceptance criteria
will be developed and used to guard on all work proceedings. In
turn, the project manager will approve satisfactory work. In the
scenario that vendors work is unacceptable, the project manager
has the powers to terminate the contract.
Project Scope
To be termed successful, the e-Menu project will deliver a
software applications that will allow users log into the system
view available products and place orders. Towards this end, the
project spans a project kick off stage and a stake holders
meeting to inform and get approval from top managers. The
project further scopes an analysis of the e-Menu idea,
4. contracting a vendor to code the application, designing the
system, developing, testing, pilot roll out , training end users,
releasing contractors after deployment, and monitoring as well
as documenting lessons learnt.
This work has been divided into major deliverables and
classified as shown in the WBS. As stated earlier, contractors
will be employed to complete the design and development
phase. This is due to the fact that Bob Evans Firm doesn’t
specialize in systems designs. Milestone List
The below chart enlists all the major milestones for the e-Menu
Project. These dates represent important review dates
showcasing how the whole project is performing. In this sense,
a delay in realizing a milestone shows the project is not flowing
smoothly (Young, 2013). Milestones come in handy as a
proactive way to counter-check that deliverables are met.

Schedule Baseline and Work Breakdown Structure
The WBS details all activities that consume resources to
produce the eMenu system. Weeks start on Monday running all
through to Friday. A day contains 8 working hours, from
0800hrs to 1700hrs, plus an addition overtime hours where
deemed necessary. This work packages were constructed by an
integration of all team members, stakeholders and vendors to
ensure no resource is over consumed or underutilized.
Ineffective utilization of resources undoubtedly leads to project
failure and when such a project makes it through the finish line,
its Return on Investment is poor (Young, 2013).
The project schedule entails a Gantt chart which shows all
deliverables and also their links in an MS Project format. All
updates to this document will solemnly be handled by the
Project manager to ensure conformity.

0%Change Management Plan
Projects comprise rigorous activities to be accomplished in the
22. future. Since the future cannot be entirely predicted, giving
allowance for flexibility is very important (Young, 2013). In
other words, summing up ways in which to manage change is
unescapable. Firstly, the project involves a lot of reviews
making it possible to identify changing needs. After
identification of an unanticipated scenario, any stakeholder or
team member can raise the alarm, and an analysis of the
solution will ensue. This will be integrated group work to allow
for effective handling of the solution. After a solution is picked
from alternatives, monitoring this change comes to the picture
to reduce any vulnerability. These activities are meant to ensure
change is smooth and to avoid chaotic conditions like poor
resource management when a deviation from the course of
action take center stage (p.78).
Communications Management Plan
The communication plan details how information will flow
during project execution. According to Young, 80 % of projects
don’t withstand a test of time due to poor communication
strategies making this the major reason why projects fail (p.34).
The project will have an integrated horizontal and vertical
communication lines in which everyone will be free to share
opinion via email or publicized project manager’s contacts.
Also, emails on work reviews will be released every Thursdays
to ensure vendors and stakeholders are kept a float on every
detail about the project. A laid down cycle on how
communication is done helps to ensure mails are checked on
time and promptly responded to (p.39).
Meetings: Meetings will be held after a fortnight to ensure
everything is in place. Before these meetings, the assistant
project manager will distribute memos to inform every one of
the meeting’s agenda.

24. Cost Management Plan
Success of the project plan boils down to the budget and cost
management (Young, 2013). The Project manager holds all
responsibilities to analyze the success of the project. To help
analyze cost deviations, under or over budgeting constraints MS
project reports will be used. In turn, Bob Evans Farms, Inc. top
managers will take charge of approving any budgetary
allocations based on the Project Managers presentations.
Financial masculinity of the e-Menu project will be measured
by the Earned value figures from MS project. Notably, all costs
will be calculated as the project progresses, team members will
be paid on a monthly basis whilst vendors will be paid after
completion of the work. Overtime work will be compensated
more than normal working hours and paid instantly.
CPI and SPI will be revisited during the above mentioned
weekly and monthly meetings. The figures will be
communicated using mediums outline in the communication
plan. The eMenu Cost and schedule variance will be computed
every Mondays. A negative cost variance will depict an over
budget (Budd & Budd, 2010). On the flip side, a positive
schedule variance will show the project is behind schedule. In
that sense, an SV figure of 2 and CV figure of –o.3 will move
the project to a cautionary stage in which all tasks will be
monitored. However, a double in the said figures will increase
the projects risks to critical and immediate actions to review
resource allocation will be called upon (p.80). Work
Management Plan
All the project work will be organized and controlled by the
project manager (Young, 2013). All documents will be signed
by stakeholders at the start of the project to ensure no delays in
the project. Meetings with vendors will be held prior to kick
starting the work to ensure an acceptance a criterion prevails.
Team members will be assigned duties by the project managers
25. and are expected to work in unison and report back to the
managers.Project Scope Management Plan
The project managers bear the whole responsibility to deliver
everything encompassed within the project scope (Budd &
Budd, 2010). This is well document in the project scope
statement and the WBS. In a proactive move to countercheck
the scope is delivered within budget and on time factoring
quality, stakeholders will identify work performance criteria.
This will be objectively inclined, so that, on a particular date
the scope deliverables are counter checked against what will be
physically achieved.
Changes will be handled in the same way detailed in the change
management category. In brief, problematic issues will be
analyzed, solutions determined and a monitoring phase will
ensue. In detail, these changes will have to reach Bob Evans
Farm Inc. to ensure conformity since changes definitely alter
the budget (P.67)Project Monitoring Strategies
The project entails multifaceted elements that have to be
monitored.
I. Schedule: Activities will be monitored to ensure they are on
track by use of the schedule variance (SV) as well as Schedule
performance Indexes (Budd & Budd, 2010). A positive SV of
more than 0.3 will mean activities are getting behind schedule.
The greater the SPI the more on schedule the project will be.
II. Budget: will be monitored as explained in the cost
management category. Monitoring this variable will borrow
largely from cost Variance (CV) and Cost Performance Index
(CPI).
III. Critical Path: The activity path followed to deliver the
activities will be strictly adhered to. A delay in any critical
activity will lead to a reschedule to ensure the time is
26. compensated. Moreover, activities on the critical path will be
allowed some lag to ensure enough time for their completion.
IV. Resource levels: the availability of resources will be
reviewed on a weekly basis. All resources are secured earlier
prior to work to ensure on time delivery. Also, buffer accounts
will be instituted to handle impromptu resource demands
Quality Management Plan
The entire e-Menu system will be checked by testers to ensure
the best quality is delivered. Quality management controls are
specified early in the project and later just counter checked in
the process of quality control. The project will first produce
prototypes that will be used as stepping stones to ensure
optimum quality management. Testers will counter check the
system both at unit level and the integration level to ensure the
application is running well as well as it can be accessed by the
public as specified in the specifications (Young, 2013 p.102).
Risk Management Plan
Risks will manifest themselves throughout the project. Efforts
will be directed to proactively identify and mitigate any risky
elements. This will then be graded to ensure all risks are
included in the risk matrix (Young, 2013).
After identification, risks will be analyzed, classified,
mitigated and lastly monitored to ensure they don’t manifest in
another ‘form’. Risk status will be updated after every three
weeks while monitoring will be conducted by assigned team
members throughout the project. Risk Register - 02/29/2016

Staffing Management Plan
The project managers will recruit a team of 6 members to help
carrying out in house work. In addition vendors will be
outsourced to build the iPad and tablet e-Menu system. Staffing
requirements include:
I. Project Managers (2 positions) – the overall PM and his
assistant will be responsible for coordinating all project
activities.
II. Marketing Analyst (1 position): Bob Evans Farms, Inc.
marketing analyst will provide demographic details on the
target clients and what best appeals to them.
III. Secretary (1 position): an in-house secretary will document
minutes, write reports on reviews as well as ensure
communication flows to everyone.
31. IV. Field Assistant (2 positions): will work with vendors to
ensure e-menu system meets specification needs.
V. Business Analyst (1 position): will inform the vendors of all
business processes needed to be included in the system.
VI. Quality Assurance Officer (2 positions): will ensure the
built system is of high quality and meets all industrial
standards.
VII. IT Specialist (3 positions): will be responsible in ensuring
the e-menu system integrates perfectly with the underlying Bob
Evans Farms Inc. IT infrastructure. This member will further
advice on the best system practices that needs to be instituted.
Resources
The Bob Evans Inc. e-Menu project like any other project will
require inputs so that output is realized. The project is schedule
to run for 136 working days with $21,946 consumed to pay team
members, contractors and managers. Individuals are
compensated per hour according to their skills. An overtime
compensation also exists for extra hours worked and differs
across board. Notably, the overtime costs exceed normal
working hour’s costs to offer an incentive for workers to be
engaged during overtime working hours (p.83).

A quality baseline dictates what the e-Menu system plus its
constituents spelt in the project scope should entail to be
deemed of good quality. In other words it dictates quality
assurance standards that guide in counter checking project
deliverables (Young, 2013). The e-Menu system together with
the infrastructure it will run on must meets or surpass the
following quality baseline:
