This document outlines a campaign to launch the new Skoda Yeti SUV model in Romania. The campaign objectives were to introduce the new car and position it as an adventurous vehicle suitable for both city and outdoor use. The target audience was active 30-year-olds living in urban areas. The two-phase campaign involved an initial two-week online teaser campaign using a fictional website and social media posts hinting at the Yeti's arrival. This was followed by the vehicle launch involving website banners, takeovers, and TV commercials directly promoting the Skoda Yeti's off-road and city capabilities.

Kokki is a Python framework and command line tool for infrastructure automation and configuration management, providing an alternative to tools like Puppet and Chef. It allows defining templates for configuring servers through recipes and resources. Resources describe configuration files, packages, and services, while providers implement how to manage each resource type for different platforms. Kokki environments execute resources and actions to provision servers according to defined recipes and cookbooks, which group related configuration code.
This document proposes a generalized quadratic model for optimal power flow problems. It formulates the optimal power flow problem in a quadratic form and develops the necessary conditions for feasibility and optimality. It also describes a generalized algorithm that uses sensitivity analysis and optimal adjustments to constraints to find a global optimal solution. The algorithm can accommodate multiple objective functions like losses, costs, voltages and flows. It was tested on actual power systems and found to reach optimal solutions in few iterations, showing potential for online applications.

The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise has also been shown to boost self-esteem and can serve as a healthy way to manage stress.
Thermoelastic stress analysis (TSA) measures small temperature changes in materials under load that correspond to stress levels. While failure criteria are not directly based on the sum of principal stresses measured by TSA, it can still predict failure locations. Both finite element analysis (FEA) and TSA are full-field techniques that provide spatial stress distributions. They complement each other, with FEA useful early in design and TSA confirming FEA models through experimental loading. Together, FEA and TSA provide a strong approach for predicting failure.

Neighbourhood Facilities for Sustainability: Short Cuts to Sustainable Settle...Jeremy Gibberd
It is increasingly acknowledged that current plans to implement sustainability are not achieving the scale and speed of change required. National built environment strategies to address sustainability tend to focus on large-scale programmes in areas such as renewable energy and energy efficiency. While this approach can
improve national environmental indicators such as carbon emissions profiles; it appears unlikely to achieve sustainability.
In recent paper titled Neighbourhood Facilities for Sustainability, Jeremy Gibberd argues that more comprehensive, and more local, approaches are required. Interventions at a neighbourhood level should be developed that enable day-to-day living patterns to become more sustainable over time. A key element of this are built environment characteristics and facilities which support sustainability. This presentation illustrates the concept
The document discusses key aspects of developing a marketing communications program, including:
1) The purposes of marketing communications are to inform, persuade, and remind customers while differentiating products and affecting price elasticity.
2) Marketing communication methods include personal selling, advertising, sales promotion, public relations, and publicity.
3) An integrated marketing communications approach uses a coordinated message and image across different media tailored to audience preferences.

Notice that Figure 1.1 consists of numbered columns and rows; each digit of a number is written in a separate rectangle on the spreadsheet.
Figure 1.2 shows an example of a sales analysis project for 100 items sold in a small retail store. Data for all 100 items was recorded manually and as a result, the cumulative total calculations in column 2 were performed using a calculator and added to the spreadsheet by hand. Process was time consuming and error correction was tedious.
Vocabulary terms:
Spreadsheet—grid of rows and columns
Data—numeric and text information that will be processed to make it more meaningful/useful to decision makers
Figure 1.3 shows an updated version of the sales analysis project for 100 items sold in a small retail store (see Figure 1.2 on previous slide).
Vocabulary:
Cells—intersection of rows (numbered) and columns (identified with letters); worksheet size limitations: 1,048,576 rows by 16,384 columns.
Cell location—column letter followed by the row number; in Figure 1.3, cell A2 is the active cell; active cell is shown with the bold black line border and small handle (separate square in lower right corner).
Cell referencing—use of cell locations (or addresses) in formulas; cell locations give Excel automatic recalculating capabilities.
What-if scenarios—used by business managers to understand how potential outcomes will impact the decisions they make; For example, you might want to use a scenario if you want to create a budget but are uncertain of your revenue. With a scenario, you can define different values for the revenue and then switch between the scenarios to perform what-if analyses.
The user interface has been significantly redesigned in the following 2007 Microsoft Office system programs: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, and Outlook (in the composing and reading windows). The Office Button replaces the File menu and is located in the upper-left corner of these Microsoft Office programs.
When you click the Office Button, you see the same basic commands available in earlier releases of Microsoft Office to open, save, and print your file.
However, in the 2007 Office release, more commands are now available, such as Prepare and Publish. For example, in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint by pointing to Prepare, and then clicking Inspect Document, you can check a file for hidden metadata or personal information.
Figure 1.4 shows numerous callouts (denoting notable information) in the text not shown here. The active cell is C7; the name of the selected worksheet is the default, Sheet1, and a range of cells is highlighted. See page 6.
Vocabulary:
Worksheet—one page of an Excel file or workbook; default is still three worksheets for a blank/new workbook.
Workbook—entire Excel file that contains a collection of worksheets.
Range—a group of cells on a worksheet; Figure 1.4 shows the range A10:D12 highlighted; to facilitate editing, ranges may be named.
Overall appearance is similar to previous versions of Excel, but there are changes in Excel 2007.

Vocabulary:
Ribbon—Top area of screen/window that contains commands and features; takes the place of most pull down menus and some toolbars.
Icons—graphic images that are now arranged in related groups; used to activate any Excel command; for example, the number group of icons is used to format any numbers that are typed into the cells of a worksheet.
Tabs—-each tab opens a separate page of the Ribbon that contains a different set of icons; additional tabs will automatically be added to the Ribbon if you are working with special objects. If the student is familiar with the selection of specialty toolbars available in previous versions of Microsoft Office, tabs are similar in function to specialty toolbars.
Tabs explained (Figure 1.5):
Home: Contains fundamental commands that are most frequently used when working in Excel. Commonly used icons such as Copy and Paste as well as formatting icons such as Bold and italics are found in this tab.
Insert: Contains commands used when inserting objects such as charts, circles, or arrows onto a worksheet.
Page Layout: Provides access to commands used to prepare a worksheet for printing.
Formulas: Provides access to mathematical functions and formula auditing tools.
Data: Provides access to sorting commands. In addition, this tab contains features used to import data from external sources such as Microsoft Access.
Review: Provides access to commands such as Spell Check and Track Changes.
View: Contains commands used for adjusting the visual appearance of your Excel screen. For example, this tab contains the Zoom icon, which is identical to the Zoom icon in MS Word.
When the cursor is placed over any icon, a screen tip will appear; screen tips will include any available keyboard shortcuts.
Quick Access Toolbar (Figure 1.6) contains icons such as Save and Undo; toolbar may be customized by adding additional icons by clicking the down arrow on the right side of the toolbar and selecting the Customize Quick Access Toolbar option.
Note the Save As command found in the File menu (see Figure 1.8).
Caution: Excel 2007 is not backward compatible. If file will be opened in a previous version of Excel (97-2003), the Save As command, Excel 97-2003 Format option must be selected. For Save As steps, see Quick Reference on page 9.
Right Click
Right clicks are context sensitive; and gives you access to a variety of commands without having to go to the Ribbon; options will change when working with other objects such as charts or text boxes. May or may not be useful as the Ribbon system considerably reduces the amount of clicking you need to do before activating a command.
For several icons in the Ribbon, there is a corresponding Ctrl key operation (e.g., as a shortcut for Copy, use the Ctrl + letter C). This operation is identical for previous versions of Microsoft Office. When screen tips are displayed, Keyboard Shortcuts will be shown.
Figure 1.9 Options When Right Clicking
See callout for specific points; notice that options available are context sensitive.
Control Key
For several icons in the Ribbon, there is a corresponding Ctrl key combination (e.g., Ctrl + the letter C is the shortcut for the Copy command).
See callouts for specific points; notice the Personalize section of the Excel Options dialog box.
See bulleted list on page 11; steps to change the default Font are summarized in the Quick Reference, also on page 11.
In addition to the default font change shown in Figure 1.10, there are several other options you can adjust to customize the settings on your Excel screen.
The appearance of the Status bar (at the bottom of the Excel screen/window) may be customized as well.
To change what is displayed on the Status bar, place the cursor anywhere in the Status bar and right click. The right click will open the dialog box/window shown; the dialog box shows some 20 options displayed in Figure 1.11.

Purpose of Video Workshops:
1) Gives you the opportunity to practice the skills illustrated in each section of the chapter.
2) Watch the author demonstrate these skills (very effective for visual learners).
Video will demonstrate the skill and instruct you to open and manipulate various data files
The first video workshop has no Excel data file; you will examine a few of the basic features in Excel 2007
Open a new blank workbook and complete the 12 tasks (a-l) on page 13 and then watch the video workshop entitled Introduction.
As stated earlier, the use of cell referencing is what enables Excel’s recalculating abilities. Effective formulas rely on cell references (or addresses).
First exercise uses a data file (supplied with text) named Daily Sales Results; open the data file and complete the 4 steps as shown on page 14.
Anecdote questions for discussion were offered on page 15; discussion questions make the chapter content more relevant and meaningful and help the students relate to the chapter material from a business perspective. Solutions are offered on page 15.
Answer the ten objective review questions offered on page 16. If you think the answer is false, give a short explanation as to why you thin the phrase or comment is false.
Recap of chapter topics. A quick oral review helps students to connect newly learned topics with previous knowledge.
