People are increasingly working from home instead of commuting to an office due to technology allowing work to be done remotely from any location with an internet connection. This change has brought new types of jobs and work arrangements. There are many benefits to telework for both employees and employers such as saving money and improving work-life balance. However, some cite the lack of social interaction as a potential downside. Women tend to benefit more from telework due to the flexibility it provides in balancing work and family responsibilities.

Bruce Guptill, SVP of Saugatuck Technology, presented research showing that over 90% of ISVs are developing cloud-based offerings. The money and long term success is in cloud-based models, as the traditional software business model will be outdated within 3-4 years. Opportunities in cloud go beyond just applications to include platforms, developer tools, infrastructure and more. ISVs should follow the money and transition to cloud-based models to avoid risks of being left behind as the industry shifts overwhelmingly to cloud.
Lead or Be Led by Fear - Roger Brinner, Parthenon Group from Mass Technology ...MassTLC
The document discusses recent trends in the US economy and financial markets. It notes that bond yields and stock price-to-earnings ratios remain exceptionally low, leaving shares undervalued. Profits are strong due to rising labor productivity and improved manufacturing capacity utilization. However, share prices are far below their fair discounted present value of likely future earnings due to high risk being priced into the markets. The economic outlook assumes continued weak employment growth and productivity increases keeping real GDP around 2% annually. Fiscal stimulus in the US will be cut substantially in 2013, adding headwinds to growth.
Three variable systems of equations can be solved using elimination or substitution similarly to two variable systems. For elimination, equations are paired to eliminate a variable leaving two equations with two unknowns that can then be solved. For substitution, one equation is solved for one variable in terms of others and substituted into remaining equations to create a system that can be solved. An example application involving budgets shirts is worked through to demonstrate solving a three variable system.

How to diagram contingencies with multiple behaviorsJulie Sanchez
The document discusses contingency models for performance management using examples of getting a child out of bed on time and getting a student to complete their homework.
It introduces a three contingency model including an ineffective natural contingency, a performance management contingency, and an inferred theoretical contingency. Examples are given of using avoidance contingencies like fear of consequences to motivate behavior.
The document also discusses using delayed outcomes and heterogeneous response sequences to motivate behaviors over multiple instances, like getting out of bed each school day or completing different homework tasks. Analogies are drawn to operant conditioning principles like homogeneous and heterogeneous response chains.
This document discusses representing and solving systems of linear equations using matrices. It defines what a matrix is and how to identify matrix elements. A system of equations can be represented by a matrix with each row representing an equation and each column representing a variable, except the last column which holds the constants. To solve the system, the matrix is row reduced into reduced row echelon form through operations like row switching, scalar multiplication, and row addition. The solutions can then be read from the reduced matrix. Graphing calculators can also use the rref function to row reduce a matrix representing a system of equations and directly give the solutions.

The document is an English formative test that addresses various topics related to environmental issues and recycling. It contains multiple choice questions, short answer questions, word definitions, modal verb exercises, and a short writing prompt. The test examines the student's understanding of concepts like reducing consumption, reusing items, recycling, and the impact of human behavior on issues like pollution and climate change. It suggests students should consider more sustainable choices and ways to limit waste in order to help address the world's growing environmental problems.
The document discusses developing self-awareness and personal effectiveness skills during adolescence, including determining one's strengths and weaknesses, setting goals, and taking responsibility for one's future by writing the script for one's own life rather than just watching passively or acting based on another's script. It emphasizes the value of journal writing for self-reflection, creative problem-solving, and becoming the architect of one's own journey.
This document outlines exercises and activities to reinforce English language skills for students. It begins with an introduction describing the purpose and approach of the material. The document then provides a table of contents listing the units and activities covered. It provides details on the subtopics covered in each unit, including customs and traditions, health lifestyles, benefits of sports, mass media influence, personal experiences, and rules and regulations. For each subtopic, it gives instructions and descriptions for language exercises focusing on vocabulary, reading, writing, speaking, and other skills.
This document is an application for an advanced practicum. It requests information from the applicant such as their name, the semester they are enrolled in PSY 357, the child they have worked with, and which semester they are interested in for the advanced practicum. It outlines the requirements of attending Woodsedge 10 hours a week, attending meetings with supervisors, and assisting case coordinators. The second page is for a supervisor evaluation that rates the applicant's skills and provides comments on their performance working with children, accepting feedback, interactions with staff, and a recommendation for the advanced practicum.
The document outlines the six steps of behavioral systems analysis:
1) Analyze the natural contingencies currently impacting the target behavior.
2) Specify clear and measurable performance objectives.
3) Design an intervention to establish more effective contingencies.
4) Implement the planned intervention.
5) Evaluate the effects of the intervention on behavior and desired outcomes.
6) Recycle through the steps as needed until objectives are achieved.
This document outlines a performance contract between a performer and performance manager. The contract aims to increase or decrease a specific behavior through establishing immediate and ultimate goals, as well as implementing an effective competing contingency and monitoring benefit measures over time through graphing. Revisions to the contract can be noted.
This document appears to be an assignment for a psychology course on behavior analysis. It includes sections for describing a target behavior, competing contingencies, a self-management intervention, graphs of the target behavior and benefit measures over baseline and intervention phases, and spaces for the student's results, comments, and any questions. The student is asked to fill in details about their particular applied behavior analysis project.
This document is a review form for a GDSD Workshow. It provides spaces for a name, TA initials, and sections to evaluate two presentations by providing feedback on the content, delivery, and areas for improvement for each.
This document appears to be a flow chart or process diagram for manufacturing and distributing sunglasses. It shows the stages of production, purchasing raw materials, manufacturing the sunglasses, and then distributing the finished products for sale and any unsold inventory. The document contains blanks for details but outlines the key stages in the sunglasses supply chain process.
1. The document discusses the need for a theoretical contingency to explain why an indirect-acting performance management (PM) contingency is effective in controlling behavior.
2. It provides an example of a waiter, Paul, who will receive a $5 bonus from his manager if his sales meet a 25% target for appetizers and drinks. This PM contingency is indirect-acting so a direct-acting theoretical contingency is needed.
3. The theoretical contingency examples show that it must be direct-acting, observable or inferred, and linked to the PM contingency, not the natural contingency, to properly explain why the indirect PM contingency controls behavior.
The document provides a series of prompts and questions about contingencies and the three-contingency model. It asks the reader to identify whether examples provided are natural or performance management contingencies. It provides feedback on the reader's responses, clarifying the correct answers and explanations.
The document describes Julie's swimming ability and how it improves slightly with each hard practice. This is a natural contingency that existed prior to any performance management. However, the improvement in ability is infinitesimal, making the contingency ineffective. The contingency is natural but ineffective due to the small outcome size.
The Two-Factor Theory of Avoidance states that:
1) A warning stimulus becomes a learned aversive stimulus through pairing with the original aversive stimulus.
2) The avoidance response is reinforced by the termination of the warning stimulus, not by avoiding the original aversive stimulus.
3) People are avoiding the stimulus associated with the aversive situation, not the aversive situation itself.
1. This document contains a series of questions to test different types of contingencies used in performance management.
2. The questions assess whether a contingency is effective at controlling behavior, planned to manage performance, and analogs to avoidance or punishment.
3. Additional criteria examined include whether responses are the same across contingencies, if outcomes are delayed or probabilities specified, and if theoretical contingencies are direct-acting or inferred.
The 3-Contingency Model of Performance Management Checklist provides criteria for evaluating applications of the 3-contingency model. It contains tests to determine if:
1) The response is the same in all three contingencies.
2) The change in outcome size and probability is large enough to control behavior for the performance management and theoretical contingencies.
3) The theoretical contingency is only used when the performance management contingency is indirect-acting.
The document appears to be a collection of transparency slides related to behavior analysis concepts. The slides cover topics like differential reinforcement, reinforcement and punishment, discrimination training, escape and avoidance conditioning, and performance management models. Many of the slides include diagrams or tables illustrating behavioral principles and terminology.
The document outlines several tests to determine if a behavior meets the criteria of operant conditioning: the Deadman Test checks if a behavior requires a living organism, the Causality Test evaluates if a response causes an outcome, and the 60” Test examines if responses and outcomes occur within 60 seconds of each other.
This document contains four review quizzes summarizing key terms from an Elementary Principles of Behavior textbook. The quizzes cover 20 terms each from various chapters, relating to concepts like reinforcement, punishment, schedules of reinforcement, conditioning, rule-governed behavior, and research methodology. In total, 80 terms are defined over the four quizzes to help students prepare for an exam on the material.
This document provides a checklist to help analyze and summarize contingency diagrams. It includes 10 questions to test key elements of the contingency, such as specifying the behavior, stimuli, and outcomes. The questions help determine if the diagram properly depicts a reinforcement, punishment, or prevention contingency. Completing the checklist ensures the contingency diagram accurately portrays the relationship between a response and its consequences.
This document provides a checklist for evaluating applications of the output-process-input model and goal specification form. The checklist outlines key elements to define like outputs, inputs, goals, processes, resources and standards. It also provides rules for outlining systems using this model, focusing on defining the final output, identifying input resources and labeling production, distribution and research processes.
1. The document contains a review quiz for concepts in positive behavior analysis with 14 multiple choice questions.
2. It covers topics like reinforcement, behavior, extinction, punishment, shaping, and motivating operations.
3. The questions are meant to test understanding of key principles and procedures used in behavior analysis.
This document appears to track sexual behavior over the course of a year, broken into weekly intervals. It provides blank spaces to record details of sexual encounters over 49 weeks. The purpose seems to be monitoring or recording private intimate activities.
This document contains checklists for an OBM presentation and paper. The presentation checklist has 11 required slides that must be included to earn full points, such as a title slide, baseline graph, and question slide. The paper checklist details the required sections for the first and final drafts, including an introduction, definition of key terms, diagrams of various models, and a graph of data. Both checklists must be submitted and signed off by the student and TA, with points awarded based on completion of items. Failure to submit required files on a disk at the final presentation will result in point deductions.

Chapter 7: How to Eat Right and Have the Body Beautiful
Would you like to live 20 more good, healthy years than you are liable to if you continue your current high-fat,
high-cholesterol, high-salt, high-protein, high-chemical, low-fiber, third-world rip-off diet?
i. You bet, I would.
ii. I’ll discuss it, just as soon as I get back from the Dairy Queen.
1. What part of your diet do you think is doing the most damage? (Real student examples: One student said
she’d really love to stop eating excessive salt, because she has a heavy hand on the salt shaker. She likes
salt, and she would lie to her performance manager to avoid paying the fine. Well, the trick is to adjust the
size of the fine so that it’s large enough to suppress the undesired behavior, but not so large that you’d lie
to avoid paying the fine, on those occasions when you slip up. Like $100 would be a sufficiently large fine to
suppress your shaking the salt shaker; but if you did shake it, you’d almost certainly lie to avoid the loss of
the $100; in that case you’d need to decrease the size of the fine to a more reasonable level. It’s a delicate
balance and you may have to adjust the size of the fine occasionally to maintain an effective performance-
management contingency.)
2. What’s some heavy-duty sugar addiction you have, or if you prefer anonymity, an acquaintance of yours has?
3. How much of that junk food do you (or your ha-ha acquaintance) consume per week/day/hour?

fiend ways? Or is there someone else you care enough about that you’d like to help (you know, that mythical
friend)?
iii. You bet, I would.
iv. Just one more toke and I’ll let you know.
5. What’s the dangerous drug? (Real student examples: Drink one coke and I have to help my husband for 1
hour in his workshop, which I hate. Caffeine, because she feels like crap and is crabby after she drinks it.
Her mother will be her performance manager because mother has been on her butt about it. And her
husband will be the victim because she buys the Cokes and now there won’t be any in the house. Cigarettes;
best to stay away from Satan who lurks in bars and parties. Alcohol so she can be conscious at parties and
know what’s going on; she lives with her aunt who will be her manager and whose apartment she’ll vacuum if
she drinks. Do a PM on a friend who smokes marijuana. Alcohol so she will stop dancing on tables and stop
hitting friends with her Subway sandwich, or she has to clean her disastrous roommate’s room.)

needs to practice interviews; the university might provide a seminar on interviewing. Should have studied
harder and gotten higher grades; the university advising system didn’t stress the importance of grades.
Should get some GRE prep books and start studying. Should have signed up for more practica and research
opportunities; it would have helped if the university had made the importance clearer. Find out what
qualifications are needed for various jobs, but she doesn’t know what job she wants.)

Real Student Examples:
Write 5 Christmas cards per week, so she can maintain her self-esteem.
Thirty minutes per day of Bible study: 15 minutes of prayer and read the devotional with a verse and
commentary, or after church on Sunday, or she will pay her roommate $1 for each day of not studying.
Running 4 times/week, for better health and happiness, or pay $4 to roommate for each day of failure.
Lifting weights for 40 min, 3 times / week, with Aunt Irene as the performance manager, so she can survive
snow board crashes.
Decrease insulin to lose weight and feel better. Will show record to performance manager . Wants to
decrease from 50 or 60 to 40 units per day. To do this, she needs to eat less sugar and exercise more.
Take a vitamin every day or do 200 crunches. (I was a little skeptical about whether she would be able to
enforce that harsh contingency, but she never needed to as she always did her vitamins.)
Drink 32 oz of water daily.
Every time she eats bad food she must eat a heaping spoonful of mustard. Every day she fails to eat what
she should, she must scarf down more mustard. (Two PM contingencies.)
Pay $1 for every time I drink pop with caffeine in it. I will evaluate every month for possible revision.
Decrease nap taking during study time.
Becky will pay $2 for biting her nails any day. Her benefit measure is to see the whites of her nail.
One student would give her $ fine to her exboyfriend.
If Moira smokes more than 11 cigarettes in a day, she will eat mushrooms with mustartd, both of which she
hates. She will also make a mark with a permanent marker on her hand for each cigarette she smokes.
Increasing writing and decreasing smoking may be the two most difficult goals in the world.
