Programming vs Coding: Unveiling The Key DifferencesFredReynolds2
Programming is, in fact, a subset of coding. That is, every important aspect of coding is a part or component of Programming. There have been several hard arguments and discussions on this major subject, as they each have their fan base or favoritism across IT professionals. You can also utilize or employ coding for programming tasks or purposes.
Programming languages helped us reach the moon and helped us invent new things in computer science, making our lives easier. Over the years, programming languages evolved with the help of open-source projects, companies, and the contributions of developers. Today there are plenty of programming languages for web apps development and ecommerce apps development.

Application of Realism Theory on Civil war in Syria and International Relations
International relation can be best understood through the various schools of thought or
rather theories. They are significant in giving a comprehensive detail of the constructs that make
international relations. Realism theory still remains one of the most influential tools in
understanding events related to international relations. This is because it provides a pragmatic
approach in examining current events in the sphere of international relations (Maghroori, pg. 17).
Realism is divided into three subdivisions, seeking to explain causes of state conflict. This
include classical realism that argues that the conflict comes from the nature of man, neorealist
which associates conflict the elements of the state, and neoclassical realism which associates it to
both human nature and elements of the state. This school of thought is grounded on some
fundamental principles that make the core of its arguments.
The first assumption in realism is the idea that a country, usually referred to as a state,
serves as the main actor in international relations. It acknowledges the fact that there are other
actors like individuals and organizations, which have limited influence (Maghroori 11).
Secondly, the state is considered a unitary player, which is expected to work harmoniously, with
regard to matters of national interest. In addition, realists believe that the people who make
decisions are rational players, since this rationality is required in pursuing the interest of the
nation. In essence, the leaders are believed to understand these assumptions regardless of their

political position, so ensure their sustainability and continuity. Consequently, it is assumed that
states exist in an anarchy context, where there is no single international leader. In this
theorization, the role of nature in influencing human action is not ignored. It asserts that nature
influence people to continue acting in repetitive tendencies. In this assumption, it comes out that
people desire power because of the egoistic nature. The innate selfishness of human beings,
mistrust and their thirst for power explains the unpredicted consequences that can result from
their actions (Maghroori 20). Such human tendencies can explain the unending wars among
nations. Bearing the fact that nations are governed by human beings, their nature contributes
largely to their behavioral tendencies, which in turn influence its security.
Realist therefore assume that leaders have the responsibility to promote the security of
their country in all fronts. This can be realized through consta.

The Myth of Disability as Isolating in Tim Burton’s Edward Scissorhands
Jay Timothy Dolmage discusses the common disability myths that condition our
understanding of disability in his work Disability Rhetoric. He argues that these myths create the
perception that disabled people are “others”, through the portrayal of them as lesser, surplus, or
improper (Dolmage, 31). One of the myths that Dolmage examines is disability as isolating or
individualizing, which is perpetrated through narratives of disabled people living in isolation,
rarely having romantic relationships or friendships, and often being left alone at the end
(Dolmage, 43). This myth can be seen in the film Edward Scissorhands, directed by Tim Burton.
Edward is a human being created by an inventor, yet the inventor’s death before his completion
leaves him with scissor blades for hands. Edward lives in a gothic mansion atop a hill,
completely in isolation until local Avon saleswoman Peg Boggs visits. She is initially frightened
by his appearance, yet decides to take him home with her upon the realization that he is
harmless. Edward’s disability causes his transition into society to be largely unsuccessful, as he
is objectified and used by other people for their benefit, and at the end of the film he is forced to
return to living in isolation after their perception of him turns to one of fear and scorn.
Edward’s isolation from society is symbolically portrayed through many film design
techniques. The mansion in which he lives at the beginning and the end of the film starkly
contrasts the community in which the able-bodied society lives. The mansion is gothic, dark, and
partially in ruins, whereas the rest of the houses are brightly colored in pinks, yellows, and
Miller, 2
greens, all with perfectly manicured green lawns. His appearance also separates him from the
rest of society, as he has very pale skin, dark under-eyes, black untamed hair, and wears gothic
industrial clothes. The able-bodied individuals often wear colorful or light clothes and appear
quite “ordinary”. The contrast created between Edward and society through set, clothing,
makeup, and hair design work to portray Edward and his disability as unusual, creepy, and
“other”. Peg even attempts to “normalize” his appearance by giving him different clothes to wear
and attempting to cover his scars with makeup, in the hopes that it will ease his transition into the
community. This film phenomenon is discussed by Martin F. Norden in his book The Cinema of
Isolation: A History of Physical Disabilities in the Movies. He argues that filmmakers will
separate disabled characters from their able-bodied peers not only through the storyline, but also
through a number of design elements. He also states that this technique allows filmmakers to
reflect an able-bodied point of view and reduce d.

There are several different reasons why an intervention fails, such as the wrong intervention being selected or trying to solve the wrong problem. It is important that when performing and intervention that every thing have been severely observed and taken into consideration. I worked with an organization that was a travel agency, and they operated off of the commission that was collected from the booking that are processed, but they also provided a discount to the members that was taken out of the commission total. The issue was that when they initially opened the department there was no budget plan done and no guidelines were given, the agents were told to use discretion, and all though the department was a huge success in booking reservations they were still failing, because they were not withholding enough commission for the organization to operate under. Where the intervention process failed is that they never had formal training, which would have been a focus group to define the exact percentage to give to customer and the amount the organization needed to cover their overhead. During the meeting process there should have been definite guidelines to lead employees and managers from the accounting department so that the employees did not need to play the guessing game. Although they had the meeting nothing changed, because the problem was not solved with the employees and managers and was not addressed by the accounting department. The business is now in danger of folding because of the poor communication practices.
William Wrote:
Although what I am going to talk about is not my workplace but the place that I volunteer my time to sit on the board of directors for a non profit agency. As a board member we oversee the agency as a whole but we also break down into small committee groups to address needs as they arise. One of the committees that I am on is the planning committee. A change that was implemented by administration, program staff, and the board was all departments would start entering all their own data. At the time the agency had two data entry personal that was entering all agency data. So the change we made was that instead of hiring another data entry person we would require all programs to enter their own data into the collection software. This ended up being a failure that could have been huge had we not pulled reports the first two quarters of the year. What we found was some programs were right on target with getting their information entered with the first quarter. The Executive Director addressed this with staff. When the second quarter reports were pulled the data did not get any better. As an agency this failed due to program staff just did not have the appropriate time to take on more data entry. The agency ended up where we should have to start off, hiring another data entry staff member. I will say with this failure it actually turned into a very positive experience over all.

Midterm Lad Report 7
Midterm Lab Report
Introduction
Cellular respiration refers to all the metabolic processes and chemical reactions that take place in living organisms, particularly at the cellular level. These processes focus on the extraction of energy from nutrients. It is also responsible for converting the biochemical energy into 'adenosine triphosphate' (ATP) by the breakdown of sugars in the cells (Bennet 58). Cellular respiration is also responsible for the process by which cells release chemical energy required for conducting cellular activities. The reactions and processes facilitate the release of waste products from the cells. This experiment seeks to conduct a study of the processes and reactions involved during cellular respiration. The experiment will include several activities, such as having a study on the amount of Carbon dioxide produced during the experiment.
The number of levels of the growth of a yeast medium as a dependent variable will also be monitored during the experiment. There are other several independent variables associated with the experiment. These independent variables include sugar and temperature, among others, and their role in the experiment were also monitored. The experiment design involved the use of airtight balloons capped over reaction chambers that were used to collect the Carbon dioxide produced during the experiment. The reaction chambers contained sugars and yeast medium, which facilitated the reactions. Thermometers and pH scale were used to monitor the changes in temperature and acidity levels during the experiment. The paper involves a lab design that institute steps such as arranging the bottles used on the experiment. Notably, a proper arrangement to make sure that all the carbon dioxide released during the respiration process is well tapped in the bottles for correct lab results
Methodology
The actual procedure for experimenting involved taking measurements and recording of all observations made during the experiment. For accurate results, measures were taken three times, and a mean measurement was calculated and recorded. Winzler asserts that the mean obtained from the measurements should be used to calculate the standard deviation, which in turn facilitated the calculation of uncertainty (276). Below are the steps for conducting the experiment. It is essential to read the instructions carefully safety and accuracy during the experiment. Notably, all the lab and experiment results were well observed and thus making sure that there are limited errors in the whole process.
Consequently, all the steps required in the lab report were also clearly followed to help in getting the correct data and even not to affect the whole experiment process. The experiment involved setting the apparatus as per the set standard and the requirement. As per this concept, all the apparatus were set in a proper way to avoid vague results. Notably, to get the correct measurement and results, it is import.

Midterm Assignment – Instructions (Read Carefully)
In university courses, assignments (or assessments) are meant to give students the opportunity to demonstrate what they have been learning in the course – and give instructors evidence that such learning is occurring within the classroom. Because of these objectives, it is imperative to incorporate the specifics of what you’ve been studying in the course into your writing assignments. You accomplish this by answering the Midterm question in the assessment via the course objectives and readings from the course. The midterm will cover the following objectives:
1. Describe the role of rapid globalization in changing perceptions of security
2. Identify key threats to human security (food security, personal security, environmental security)
3. Apply the concepts of human security
4. Compare and contrast traditional international relations approaches to security with the doctrine of human security.
Additional Instructions
To answer the Midterm question you will write an analytical essay. The analytical essay is a practical approach to solving a problem. So think of this essay question as you would an assignment from your boss: “I need you to take a look at this problem and solve it for me using things from your IR toolkit (what you have learned, or know). Present a well-written, concise answer to me in four pages. I need it by tomorrow morning.” This is how it happens in the real world, and this is what we want to prepare you to do. To achieve this structure of the essay please keep the following tips in mind:
1. Remember that the analytical essay is highly-structured. Each paragraph should look like the others in terms of style and substance. Writing to the limit of four pages is an art and something you need to learn to do. So, don’t write fewer than four pages and don’t write more. You may need to write over just a little and then edit away the extra parts of the essay to reach the concise four pages.
2. Review your submission and make sure that you have covered the requirements of the assignment using only material from the lessons and readings.
Format for the Essay:
1. Do not use a cover page. Instead, create a header with your name, assignment name, and date. To do this in Word, go to “insert” and then “header.” Do the same thing to insert a ‘footer’ and include page numbers. If you need help, use the ‘help’ function to learn more within Word.
2. Your submission should be four pages (no more, no less) and look like this:
a. Introduction: Introduce your topic & include a thesis. To help you set up your analytical essay include three reasons why you agree or disagree with the midterm quest.

Over the years teen pregnancy rates have continued to rise in Contra Costa County as well as surrounding counties. Unfortanately, the town I come from is a small town within Contra Costa County so resources are limited. In order to address teen pregnancy there needs to be easier access to resources to prevent teen pregnancy from occurring.

Software Requirements SpecificationIntroduction
Microsoft Word is a word processor created by Microsoft. It was first discharged on October 25, 1983, under the name Multi-Tool Word for Xenix frameworks. Microsoft Word 2016 was released in the year 2016. The Microsoft Word application location was made to facilitate its users in ways where they could document things, save them on their hard drives or online, and even print them. With a wide range of scopes, any type of document such as assignments, reports, proposals, brochures, memorandums, etc. can be made on created through MS Word. When the file is saved, a .docx extension file is made and saved on the system. Even though MS Word is a very helpful application location, it still has its drawbacks. One of them is due to the presence of too many options. A novice user may feel overwhelmed with the number of features that can be executed through this software.Purpose
The purpose of the Microsoft Word application location is to document i.e. write any type of document such as assignments, quizzes, reports, etc. This does not mean that you can only write something on the word. You can also use tools to make your document look better such as using different layouts, different shapes, adding pictures and tables, etc. Thus, word lets you make a document and edit it. There are no critical bugs and the defect rate of MS Word is zero. The learning time for an average user is 30 to 60 minutes. Scope
The project aims to efficiently document your need for both, your professional or personal life. The focus of this application location is to provide help for the user to inscribe a document in a multitude of formats. This will provide more options and facilitate the user with different modules so the document can always look professional. Definitions, Acronyms, Abbreviations

Nordstrom Case Study Analysis
Nordstrom—“High Touch” with “High Tech”
How does Nordstrom stay profitable despite dips in consumer spending, changing fashion trends, and intense competition among retailers? One answer: Acute attention to detail and well-laid plans.
All in the Family
The fourth generation of family members that runs Nordstrom has brought the store’s time-honored and successful retail practices into a new era. “Nordstrom, it seems, is that rarity in American business: an enterprise run by a founding family that hasn’t wrecked it,” says one business writer. The company provides a quality customer experience via personalized service, a compelling merchandise offering, a pleasant shopping environment, and increasingly better management of its inventory.
Secret of Success
The secret of this company’s success lies in its strategic planning efforts and the ability of its management team to set broad, comprehensive, and longer-term action directions, all of which are focused on the customer experience. The current generation of Nordstrom family members was quick to spearhead an ultramodern multimillion-dollar, Web-based inventory management system. This upgrade helped the company meet two key goals: (1) correlate purchasing with demand to keep inventory as lean as possible, and (2) give customers and sales associates a comprehensive view of Nordstrom’s entire inventory, including every store and warehouse.
Demand Planning
Instead of relying on one-day sales, coupon blitzes, or marking down entire lines of product, Nordstrom discounts only certain items. “Markdown optimization” software assists in planning more profitable sale prices. According to retail analyst, Patricia Edwards, this helps Nordstrom calculate what will sell better at different discounts and forecast which single items should be marked down. If a style is no longer in demand, the company can ship it off to its Nordstrom Rack outlet stores. It’s all part of Nordstrom’s long-term investment in efficiency. “If we can identify what is not performing and move it out to bring in fresh merchandise,” says Pete Nordstrom, “that’s a decision we want to make.”
Inventory Planning
Although inventory naturally fluctuates, Nordstrom associates can easily locate any item in another store or verify when it will return to stock. Customers on their smart phones and associates behind sales counters see the same thing—the entire inventory of Nordstrom’s stores is presented as one selection, which the company refers to as perpetual inventory. “Customer service is not just a friendly, helpful, knowledgeable salesperson helping you buy something,” says Robert Spector, retail expert and author of The Nordstrom Way. “Part of customer service is having the right item at the right size at the right price at the right time. And that’s something perpetual inventory will help with.”
The upgraded inventory management system was an .

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

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.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Management of Information Systems
Business Software
What should drive an IT infrastructure decision?
Ideally, the software would be selected first and then the
hardware to host it. Most companies already possess some
hardware that can limit the available options when selecting
software. Determining which software or system approach that
will fulfill the organization’s business functions is a key IT
infrastructure decision. The value returned by software to an
organization increases efficiency or competitive advantage.
Software should return value to organizations, suppliers,
customers, employees, and all stakeholders. Software
functionality and the core value propositions (creating
opportunities, increasing efficiency, gaining competitive
advantage, or business problems solving) must be evaluated and
analyzed when selecting software.
Operating systems and application software:
Common software applications are spreadsheet programs, and
word processors. Other applications that may not be so familiar
are analytics, survey, mapping applications, and web page or
blog builders. Developers design applications’ interfaces.
Operating systems also have an interface. Application interfaces
are contained within the operating system interface.

highlighted lime; the Windows 10 operating system interface
highlighted magenta
Operating systems provide common interfaces to applications
such as the close and resize boxes, scroll bars, and features for
saving, cutting and pasting. Other layout features of
applications come from their developers. Sometimes discerning
systems software from application software can be difficult
2. because operating systems are embedded with applications. A
database management system, for instance, is application
software that could easily be confused with system software.
The most important features of PC software.
PC software should be easy-to-understand, and contain intuitive
icons. Icons reduce the time needed to learn to use software and
make software more globally accessible because of the language
independence of pictures. Metaphors can be used to indicate
how to use interfaces. The Windows desktop, for instance, is a
metaphor for a desktop containing items on which a person is
currently working. Use of metaphors and intuitive icons
increase productivity.

Management of Information Systems
Business Networks and Telecommunications
Over recent years, telecommunications has transformed how
organizations conduct business. Mobile, wireless, and web-
based technologies have enabled more strategic business
management and increased the efficiency of resource
management.
Over the last two decades, television, telephony and other forms
of communication have been digitized. Voice over IP (VoIP)
has become a popular method of communication. Increasingly,
communication takes place over the Internet. Entire industries
have been transformed by the increased speed of
communication. Additionally, technology services, such as
phone, audio, video, messaging and other services have
converged and are accessible through a single mobile device.
These services are available through various networks,
landlines, cellular, satellite and the Internet. Businesses
leverage their existing customer base to market new services.
Network and telecommunications technologies have had an
enormous impact on globalization. Without these technologies,
5. Programs are needed for every computer operation
Programming or coding is the process of writing computer
programs
Machine language, consists of long sequences of 0s and 1s and
is the only language that hardware understands
Assembly language is uses words for commands and is easier to
program than machine language
High-level programming languages: use English-like statements
Software development kits (SDKs) are tools used to develop
software without having a detailed knowledge of programming
languages
Third-generation languages (3GLs): known as “procedural”
languages
Require a Programmer to detail a logical procedure
3GLs include languages such as COBOL, FORTRAN, BASIC,
RPG, Pascal, and C
One 3GL statement is the equivalent of five to ten assembly
language statements
Fourth-generation languages (4GLs) use more English-like
statements
4GLs sped up the development process
They were built around database management systems
4GLs include many preprogrammed procedures
One 4GL statement is the equivalent of several 3GL statements
Structured Query Language (SQL) is an example
Debugging is a process of locating and fixing program errors
Advantages of Higher-Level Programming are
ease of learning the language
Ease of Programming
Significantly shorter code
Ease of debugging
And Ease of Maintenance
