Achieving More for Less, Lucian Hudson: NCVO Collaborative Learning Network l...NCVO - National Council for Voluntary Organisations
A presentation given by Lucian Hudson, Chair of the Collaborative Strategies Network at the launch of the NCVO Collaborative Learning Network.5 barriers to creativity
The document discusses five common barriers to innovation: inadequate funding, risk avoidance, organizational "silos", time commitments, and incorrect measures of success. It provides questions to consider for each barrier and potential strategies to overcome them, such as leveraging networks, prototyping ideas quickly, and developing new measures of success beyond financial metrics alone. Overcoming these barriers requires understanding stakeholders, managing risks, and freeing up time for innovative work.
ADVOCACY PLANINING - CRITICAL QUESTIONS TO ASK
This document outlines the key elements of developing an effective advocacy plan, including establishing the facts, identifying decision-makers and their influencers through power mapping, gaining public support, mobilizing resources, and engaging in a planned manner with the target audience. It emphasizes that advocacy depends on a clear, concise message tested with the target audience, and calls for asking the audience to take specific action. The document provides a 10-step process for crafting an advocacy plan covering objectives, stakeholders, resources, activities, and evaluation metrics.
Applying Behavioral Economics
The document discusses how behavioral economics can be applied to improve social service programs and client outcomes. It explains concepts from behavioral economics like bounded rationality, heuristics, framing, and loss aversion. It provides examples of how these concepts influence financial decision making and recommendations for using insights from behavioral economics to better design programs, messages, and services. The document advocates applying these insights to enhance client understanding, program enrollment and success, through approaches like reframing financial education, addressing time preferences, and employing nudges and defaults.
6 best practices in stakeholder engagement
I recently did a piece on 5 mistakes companies make in stakeholder engagement and many of you asked me to give a list of best practices. Here are six.
1. Think Value and Interests – and do it transparently
2. It’s OK to disagree – but, disagree without being disagreeable. And stay curious
3. Do compliance but think and act strategic – check the boxes yes, but that is just the foundation
4. Share the credit, multiply the resources. Find partners!
5. Communicate so you are heard and understood.
6. Define stakeholders broadly and strategically – go beyond compliance
The Big Five Factor Model
The social penetration theory describes how relationships develop in a gradual, orderly process. People begin by sharing superficial information and slowly share deeper, more personal information over time. As relationships strengthen, individuals disclose more intimate facts about themselves. The theory helps explain how relationships develop from surface-level interactions to close, personal bonds through reciprocal self-disclosure between partners.

This document discusses the importance of strategic thinking for leaders and organizations. It finds that only 23% of US executives are strong strategic thinkers, and that poor strategy was the #1 cause of bankruptcy in nearly 50% of cases studied. It then discusses three disciplines of strategic thinking: 1) generating insights, 2) focusing resources through tradeoffs, and 3) executing strategy to achieve goals. Only about 30% of managers exhibit high levels of strategic thinking. The document argues regular practice of these three disciplines can help develop strategic thinking skills.

Causes and Outcomes of Conflict
There are many potential root causes of conflict at work. Well go over six of them here.
Remember, anything that leads to a disagreement can be a cause of conflict. Although conflict is
common to organizations, some organizations have more than others.
Causes of Conflict
Organizational Structure
Conflict tends to take different forms, depending on the organizational structure. For example, if
a company uses a matrix structure as its organizational form, it will have decisional conflict built
in, because the structure specifies that each employee report to two bosses. For example, the
multinational power company with headquarters in Switzerland, ABB Ltd. is organized around
the world in a matrix structure based on the dimensions of country and industry. This structure
can lead to confusion as the companys 147,000 employees are divided across 100 countries into
four global divisions, with each division focusing on different industries and products.
Limited Resources
Resources such as money, time, and equipment are often scarce. Competition among people or
departments for limited resources is a frequent cause for conflict. For example, cutting-edge
laptops and other devices are expensive resources that may be allocated to employees on a need-
to-have basis in some companies. When a group of employees have access to such resources
while others do not, conflict may arise among employees or between employees and
management. While technical employees may feel that these devices are crucial to their
productivity, employees with customer contact such as sales representatives may make the point
that these devices are important for them to make a good impression to clients. Because
important resources are often limited, this is one source of conflict many companies have to live
with.
Task Interdependence
Another cause of conflict is task interdependence; that is, when accomplishment of your goal
requires reliance on others to perform their tasks. For example, if youre tasked with creating
advertising for your product, youre dependent on the creative team to design the words and
layout, the photographer or videographer to create the visuals, the media buyer to purchase the
advertising space, and so on. The completion of your goal (airing or publishing your ad) is
dependent on others.
Incompatible Goals
Sometimes conflict arises when two parties think that their goals are mutually exclusive. Within
an organization, incompatible goals often arise because of the different ways department
managers are compensated. For example, a sales managers bonus may be tied to how many sales
are made for the company. As a result, the individual might be tempted to offer customers
freebies such as expedited delivery in order to make the sale. In contrast, a transportation
man.
Managing Change Pauline Hall
The document discusses various strategies and tools for managing organizational change, including:
1) Kotter's eight steps for change including establishing urgency, building coalitions, communicating vision, and anchoring changes in culture.
2) ADKAR as a model for individual change with components of awareness, desire, knowledge, ability and reinforcement.
3) Stakeholder management techniques like stakeholder analysis, mapping stakeholders on a grid of influence vs. impact, and developing a stakeholder management plan.
4) Effective communication strategies are key to change success and include understanding audience types and moving from a "telling" to a "co-creating" approach.

Manage Discussion Entry
Corporate managers have a responsibility to act in the best interest of the company over the long term. One of the characteristics of a corporation is that its existence is not tied to a specific owner or partner and it should continue to operate past any one manager or CEO. A corporation’s current stock value can fluctuate a great deal from day to day for a number of reasons. News reports related to political issues, actions by foreign governments, sales forecasts, and predictions of production costs or prices can all have a significant effect on the current stock price of a company. The stock price may not be an accurate representation of the company’s long term profitability or actual performance. A large component of the market value is analysts’ expectations of the company’s cash flows and performance, not necessarily the actual performance. Manager’s primary focus should be on creating and maximizing wealth for the shareholders of the corporation (Byrd, Hickman, McPerson, 2013). Their goal should be creating that wealth in the long term with real revenues and profits, not attempting to reach a short term stock price. A focus on the short term and stock prices can lead to unethical business decisions and a distorted account of the company’s performance. An emphasis on the market price can decrease shareholder value, create misguided incentives for managers, and generate dishonesty in executives (Denning, 2011). A strategy that emphasizes long term profitability and growth is in the best interest of shareholders, executives, and customers.

This is an interesting discussion post for me. In a hospital setting, long term goals are so vital to sustainability, as billing for procedures and reimbursement take a few months to get on the books. So for my current state, I would say short term profit are important to keep at the forefront, but to not get discouraged if the value drops for a timeframe as you can forecast what should be coming in. Personally it seems that the short term feeds into the success of the long term. Short term goals allow me to adjust quicker in order to help save the bottom line of a long term goal. Our organization is switching from a normal budget to a real time financial planning. This is in hopes to make decisions that affect the now, in a timely fashion, before it negatively affects the long term goals. This is our first quarter of such a program, so we shall see how this new st ...

Ratio analysis is used to evaluate a company's financial performance and health over time. It involves calculating and comparing various financial ratios to identify trends, strengths, weaknesses and how the company compares to its competitors. Some key points:
1. Ratios are calculated using figures from financial statements and compare metrics like profitability, liquidity, operating efficiency and financial strength.
2. Ratio analysis helps evaluate areas like a company's short-term solvency, profitability, operating efficiency, and long-term financial stability.
3. Comparing ratios over time and against industry benchmarks provides insight into a company's financial management and performance relative to its peers.
4. Various considerations must be made when interpreting

1) Stakeholder theory asks what responsibility management has to various stakeholders like shareholders, creditors, employees, communities, etc. There is debate around whether shareholders should be considered the primary stakeholders over others.
2) Identifying stakeholders as primary or secondary is problematic as it implies some are less important than others. It is difficult to identify and balance the needs of all stakeholders.
3) Pursuing short-term shareholder returns can intensify pressure on management and increase the risk of fraud, especially if opportunities are available to mitigate that pressure. Long-term attention to both financial and non-financial outcomes for all stakeholders is important for sustainable business practices.

With regards to this article, I agree and disagree on certain leve.docx
With regards to this article, I agree and disagree on certain levels pertaining to racism in video games. I have been playing video games since the Nintendo days and I have noticed many stereotypes in video games that Evan has pointed out. Although Evan feels that all black characters are subject to stereotypes, there are bunches of game characters that I believe are not under this category and are in fact very ambitious characters. For example, Lee Everett from the Walking Dead: Season 1 game, Captain Anderson from the Mass Effect Trilogy, Franklin from Grand Theft Auto V and Sgt. Johnson from the Halo series. The problem I have with Evan's critique is the fact that he is judging black characters based on how they act and look, something that society does to members of the visible minority in the real world. Majority of the characters that are in question may seem stereotypical at first but if you delve deeper into their character you start to realize that there is depth behind that person rather than just big muscles and a loud mouth. In my opinion, whenever I play a video game I can care less what the race of my character is and I look more towards their development as a character and the story that it is telling. Many "gamers" share this same opinion from research I have done and even in the comment section of this article. I get the notion that he is looking for a character that is "white" but the problem is whenever a black character is given the same characteristics as a white character, they are not well received and are made fun of for being "white washed". There seems to be a double standard with how black characters are portrayed and is also something that will unfortunately never be able to appease to everyone due to the fact that everyone shares a different opinion on how certain types of characters should be portrayed.

The Social Construction of "Race"
As our discussions have revealed over the past few weeks, negative or stereotypical representation in media
has real consequences. Such representations not only reflect but also reinforce the marginality of minority
groups. Thus, it follows that the political empowerment of subordinate groups in society--such as women,
youth, people with disabilities, gays and lesbians, the poor--depends in part on changing the way these
groups are represented.
How can we think about the issues of representation and empowerment in relation to racial minorities? First,
we need to gain a better understanding of the social construction of racial and ethnic identity.
Ethnicity
'Ethnicity' and 'race' are linked but distinct categories. Ethnicity is a broad social category that addresses
one’s perceived membership in a larger group based on an attachment to an actual or possible homeland, its
cultural heritage, belief system, political history, language, myths, customs, manners, food, literature, sport, art
or architectural style. Ethnic affiliations are acknowledged and pa.

Windows Server Deployment Proposal
Overview
Each student will create a detailed, organized, unified technical solution given the scenario described below. The submission will be in a written format, with at least one diagram, and may include additional diagrams, charts or tables. The assignment is meant for students to enhance their mastery of the material and to provide a creative and realistic way in which to apply knowledge from this course.
Scenario
Worldwide Advertising, Inc. (referred to as “WAI”) has hired you as an IT consultant for implementing their Windows network infrastructure. WAI is a new advertising firm, and they are currently hiring staff, establishing two locations, and have a need to get their internal IT services configured. They do not yet have an IT staff, but when they do, the IT staff will take over all aspects of IT administration. You are required to supply WAI with a solution which describes the implementation and configuration of their core IT services. Cost is not a significant concern – WAI wishes to implement the “right” solution to fit their needs now and for the next 2-3 years.
There are several details about WAI which will have an impact on your choices:
· WAI will start with 110 employees, in the following departments:
· Executives (9 employees) – manage and run the company
· Accounts and Sales Department (15 employees) – perform market research and maintain accounts
· Creative, Media and Production Department (59 employees) – advertising
· Human Resources and Finances (17 employees) – perform HR and financial duties
· IT (10 employees) – manage IT for the company
· WAI will have two sites, one in Seattle and one in New York. Most staff will be located in Seattle, with at least 1 person from each of the departments above located in NY.
· Networking equipment is already in place for both sites. A secure tunnel (using IPSec) will be established between the two sites so that inter-site traffic will be securely tunneled over the Internet. You may make whatever other assumptions you wish about intra-and inter-site connectivity.
· Security mechanisms (e.g., firewalls, intrusion detection) will be handled separately, and there is no need to describe them.
· Some departments will want their data to remain private from other departments (e.g., Finances personnel will not want Production staff to see the company’s financial details). Your team may make assumptions about how data should be shared or kept private.
· Assumptions can be made regarding any information not included here; all assumptions should be identified, however.
Topics to Cover
Your document should cover the content presented in the course. The outline below contains recommended points to cover. You are free to add other related information.
Describe the technical and business reasons for each choice, citing other resources as appropriate.
The Windows Server 2012 operating system should be used for all aspects of the solution.

Wireshark Lab: TCP v6.0
Supplement to Computer Networking: A Top-Down
Approach, 6th ed., J.F. Kurose and K.W. Ross
“Tell me and I forget. Show me and I remember. Involve me and I
understand.” Chinese proverb

In this lab, we’ll investigate the behavior of the celebrated TCP protocol in detail. We’ll
do so by analyzing a trace of the TCP segments sent and received in transferring a 150KB
file (containing the text of Lewis Carrol’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland) from your
computer to a remote server. We’ll study TCP’s use of sequence and acknowledgement
numbers for providing reliable data transfer; we’ll see TCP’s congestion control
algorithm – slow start and congestion avoidance – in action; and we’ll look at TCP’s
receiver-advertised flow control mechanism. We’ll also briefly consider TCP connection
setup and we’ll investigate the performance (throughput and round-trip time) of the TCP
connection between your computer and the server.
Before beginning this lab, you’ll probably want to review sections 3.5 and 3.7 in the
text1.
1. Capturing a bulk TCP transfer from your computer to a remote
server
Before beginning our exploration of TCP, we’ll need to use Wireshark to obtain a packet
trace of the TCP transfer of a file from your computer to a remote server. You’ll do so by
accessing a Web page that will allow you to enter the name of a file stored on your
computer (which contains the ASCII text of Alice in Wonderland), and then transfer the
file to a Web server using the HTTP POST method (see section 2.2.3 in the text). We’re
using the POST method rather than the GET method as we’d like to transfer a large
amount of data from your computer to another computer. Of course, we’ll be running
Wireshark during this time to obtain the trace of the TCP segments sent and received
from your computer.
Do the following:

• Start up your web browser. Go the http://gaia.cs.umass.edu/wireshark-

• Use the Browse button in this form to enter the name of the file (full path name)
on your computer containing Alice in Wonderland (or do so manually). Don’t yet
press the “Upload alice.txt file” button.
• Now start up Wireshark and begin packet capture (Capture->Start) and then press
OK on the Wireshark Packet Capture Options screen (we’ll not need to select any
options here).
• Returning to your browser, press the “Upload alice.txt file” button to upload the
file to the g.

Causes and Outcomes of Conflict
There are many potential root causes of conflict at work. Well go over six of them here.
Remember, anything that leads to a disagreement can be a cause of conflict. Although conflict is
common to organizations, some organizations have more than others.
Causes of Conflict
Organizational Structure
Conflict tends to take different forms, depending on the organizational structure. For example, if
a company uses a matrix structure as its organizational form, it will have decisional conflict built
in, because the structure specifies that each employee report to two bosses. For example, the
multinational power company with headquarters in Switzerland, ABB Ltd. is organized around
the world in a matrix structure based on the dimensions of country and industry. This structure
can lead to confusion as the companys 147,000 employees are divided across 100 countries into
four global divisions, with each division focusing on different industries and products.
Limited Resources
Resources such as money, time, and equipment are often scarce. Competition among people or
departments for limited resources is a frequent cause for conflict. For example, cutting-edge
laptops and other devices are expensive resources that may be allocated to employees on a need-
to-have basis in some companies. When a group of employees have access to such resources
while others do not, conflict may arise among employees or between employees and
management. While technical employees may feel that these devices are crucial to their
productivity, employees with customer contact such as sales representatives may make the point
that these devices are important for them to make a good impression to clients. Because
important resources are often limited, this is one source of conflict many companies have to live
with.
Task Interdependence
Another cause of conflict is task interdependence; that is, when accomplishment of your goal
requires reliance on others to perform their tasks. For example, if youre tasked with creating
advertising for your product, youre dependent on the creative team to design the words and
layout, the photographer or videographer to create the visuals, the media buyer to purchase the
advertising space, and so on. The completion of your goal (airing or publishing your ad) is
dependent on others.
Incompatible Goals
Sometimes conflict arises when two parties think that their goals are mutually exclusive. Within
an organization, incompatible goals often arise because of the different ways department
managers are compensated. For example, a sales managers bonus may be tied to how many sales
are made for the company. As a result, the individual might be tempted to offer customers
freebies such as expedited delivery in order to make the sale. In contrast, a transportation
man.

Corporate managers have a responsibility to act in the best interest of the company over the long term. One of the characteristics of a corporation is that its existence is not tied to a specific owner or partner and it should continue to operate past any one manager or CEO. A corporation’s current stock value can fluctuate a great deal from day to day for a number of reasons. News reports related to political issues, actions by foreign governments, sales forecasts, and predictions of production costs or prices can all have a significant effect on the current stock price of a company. The stock price may not be an accurate representation of the company’s long term profitability or actual performance. A large component of the market value is analysts’ expectations of the company’s cash flows and performance, not necessarily the actual performance. Manager’s primary focus should be on creating and maximizing wealth for the shareholders of the corporation (Byrd, Hickman, McPerson, 2013). Their goal should be creating that wealth in the long term with real revenues and profits, not attempting to reach a short term stock price. A focus on the short term and stock prices can lead to unethical business decisions and a distorted account of the company’s performance. An emphasis on the market price can decrease shareholder value, create misguided incentives for managers, and generate dishonesty in executives (Denning, 2011). A strategy that emphasizes long term profitability and growth is in the best interest of shareholders, executives, and customers.

This is an interesting discussion post for me. In a hospital setting, long term goals are so vital to sustainability, as billing for procedures and reimbursement take a few months to get on the books. So for my current state, I would say short term profit are important to keep at the forefront, but to not get discouraged if the value drops for a timeframe as you can forecast what should be coming in. Personally it seems that the short term feeds into the success of the long term. Short term goals allow me to adjust quicker in order to help save the bottom line of a long term goal. Our organization is switching from a normal budget to a real time financial planning. This is in hopes to make decisions that affect the now, in a timely fashion, before it negatively affects the long term goals. This is our first quarter of such a program, so we shall see how this new st ...

Ratio analysis is used to evaluate a company's financial performance and health over time. It involves calculating and comparing various financial ratios to identify trends, strengths, weaknesses and how the company compares to its competitors. Some key points:
1. Ratios are calculated using figures from financial statements and compare metrics like profitability, liquidity, operating efficiency and financial strength.
2. Ratio analysis helps evaluate areas like a company's short-term solvency, profitability, operating efficiency, and long-term financial stability.
3. Comparing ratios over time and against industry benchmarks provides insight into a company's financial management and performance relative to its peers.

1) Stakeholder theory asks what responsibility management has to various stakeholders like shareholders, creditors, employees, communities, etc. There is debate around whether shareholders should be considered the primary stakeholders over others.
2) Identifying stakeholders as primary or secondary is problematic as it implies some are less important than others. It is difficult to identify and balance the needs of all stakeholders.
3) Pursuing short-term shareholder returns can intensify pressure on management and increase the risk of fraud, especially if opportunities are available to mitigate that pressure. Long-term attention to both financial and non-financial outcomes for all stakeholders is important for sustainable business practices.

With regards to this article, I agree and disagree on certain leve.docx
With regards to this article, I agree and disagree on certain levels pertaining to racism in video games. I have been playing video games since the Nintendo days and I have noticed many stereotypes in video games that Evan has pointed out. Although Evan feels that all black characters are subject to stereotypes, there are bunches of game characters that I believe are not under this category and are in fact very ambitious characters. For example, Lee Everett from the Walking Dead: Season 1 game, Captain Anderson from the Mass Effect Trilogy, Franklin from Grand Theft Auto V and Sgt. Johnson from the Halo series. The problem I have with Evan's critique is the fact that he is judging black characters based on how they act and look, something that society does to members of the visible minority in the real world. Majority of the characters that are in question may seem stereotypical at first but if you delve deeper into their character you start to realize that there is depth behind that person rather than just big muscles and a loud mouth. In my opinion, whenever I play a video game I can care less what the race of my character is and I look more towards their development as a character and the story that it is telling. Many "gamers" share this same opinion from research I have done and even in the comment section of this article. I get the notion that he is looking for a character that is "white" but the problem is whenever a black character is given the same characteristics as a white character, they are not well received and are made fun of for being "white washed". There seems to be a double standard with how black characters are portrayed and is also something that will unfortunately never be able to appease to everyone due to the fact that everyone shares a different opinion on how certain types of characters should be portrayed.

The Social Construction of "Race"
As our discussions have revealed over the past few weeks, negative or stereotypical representation in media
has real consequences. Such representations not only reflect but also reinforce the marginality of minority
groups. Thus, it follows that the political empowerment of subordinate groups in society--such as women,
youth, people with disabilities, gays and lesbians, the poor--depends in part on changing the way these
groups are represented.
How can we think about the issues of representation and empowerment in relation to racial minorities? First,
we need to gain a better understanding of the social construction of racial and ethnic identity.
Ethnicity
'Ethnicity' and 'race' are linked but distinct categories. Ethnicity is a broad social category that addresses
one’s perceived membership in a larger group based on an attachment to an actual or possible homeland, its
cultural heritage, belief system, political history, language, myths, customs, manners, food, literature, sport, art
or architectural style. Ethnic affiliations are acknowledged and pa.

Windows Server Deployment Proposal
Overview
Each student will create a detailed, organized, unified technical solution given the scenario described below. The submission will be in a written format, with at least one diagram, and may include additional diagrams, charts or tables. The assignment is meant for students to enhance their mastery of the material and to provide a creative and realistic way in which to apply knowledge from this course.
Scenario
Worldwide Advertising, Inc. (referred to as “WAI”) has hired you as an IT consultant for implementing their Windows network infrastructure. WAI is a new advertising firm, and they are currently hiring staff, establishing two locations, and have a need to get their internal IT services configured. They do not yet have an IT staff, but when they do, the IT staff will take over all aspects of IT administration. You are required to supply WAI with a solution which describes the implementation and configuration of their core IT services. Cost is not a significant concern – WAI wishes to implement the “right” solution to fit their needs now and for the next 2-3 years.
There are several details about WAI which will have an impact on your choices:
· WAI will start with 110 employees, in the following departments:
· Executives (9 employees) – manage and run the company
· Accounts and Sales Department (15 employees) – perform market research and maintain accounts
· Creative, Media and Production Department (59 employees) – advertising
· Human Resources and Finances (17 employees) – perform HR and financial duties
· IT (10 employees) – manage IT for the company
· WAI will have two sites, one in Seattle and one in New York. Most staff will be located in Seattle, with at least 1 person from each of the departments above located in NY.
· Networking equipment is already in place for both sites. A secure tunnel (using IPSec) will be established between the two sites so that inter-site traffic will be securely tunneled over the Internet. You may make whatever other assumptions you wish about intra-and inter-site connectivity.
· Security mechanisms (e.g., firewalls, intrusion detection) will be handled separately, and there is no need to describe them.
· Some departments will want their data to remain private from other departments (e.g., Finances personnel will not want Production staff to see the company’s financial details). Your team may make assumptions about how data should be shared or kept private.
· Assumptions can be made regarding any information not included here; all assumptions should be identified, however.
Topics to Cover
Your document should cover the content presented in the course. The outline below contains recommended points to cover. You are free to add other related information.
Describe the technical and business reasons for each choice, citing other resources as appropriate.
The Windows Server 2012 operating system should be used for all aspects of the solution.

Wireshark Lab: TCP v6.0
Supplement to Computer Networking: A Top-Down
Approach, 6th ed., J.F. Kurose and K.W. Ross
“Tell me and I forget. Show me and I remember. Involve me and I
understand.” Chinese proverb

In this lab, we’ll investigate the behavior of the celebrated TCP protocol in detail. We’ll
do so by analyzing a trace of the TCP segments sent and received in transferring a 150KB
file (containing the text of Lewis Carrol’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland) from your
computer to a remote server. We’ll study TCP’s use of sequence and acknowledgement
numbers for providing reliable data transfer; we’ll see TCP’s congestion control
algorithm – slow start and congestion avoidance – in action; and we’ll look at TCP’s
receiver-advertised flow control mechanism. We’ll also briefly consider TCP connection
setup and we’ll investigate the performance (throughput and round-trip time) of the TCP
connection between your computer and the server.
Before beginning this lab, you’ll probably want to review sections 3.5 and 3.7 in the
text1.
1. Capturing a bulk TCP transfer from your computer to a remote
server
Before beginning our exploration of TCP, we’ll need to use Wireshark to obtain a packet
trace of the TCP transfer of a file from your computer to a remote server. You’ll do so by
accessing a Web page that will allow you to enter the name of a file stored on your
computer (which contains the ASCII text of Alice in Wonderland), and then transfer the
file to a Web server using the HTTP POST method (see section 2.2.3 in the text). We’re
using the POST method rather than the GET method as we’d like to transfer a large
amount of data from your computer to another computer. Of course, we’ll be running
Wireshark during this time to obtain the trace of the TCP segments sent and received
from your computer.
Do the following:
1 References to figures and sections are for the 6th edition of our text, Computer Networks, A Top-down

• Start up your web browser. Go the http://gaia.cs.umass.edu/wireshark-
labs/alice.txt and retrieve an ASCII copy of Alice in Wonderland. Store this file
somewhere on your computer.
• Next go to http://gaia.cs.umass.edu/wireshark-labs/TCP-wireshark-file1.html.
• You should see a screen that looks like:
• Use the Browse button in this form to enter the name of the file (full path name)
on your computer containing Alice in Wonderland (or do so manually). Don’t yet
press the “Upload alice.txt file” button.
• Now start up Wireshark and begin packet capture (Capture->Start) and then press
OK on the Wireshark Packet Capture Options screen (we’ll not need to select any
options here).
• Returning to your browser, press the “Upload alice.txt file” button to upload the
file to the g.

In this lab, we’ll investigate the IP protocol, focusing on the IP datagram. We’ll do so by analyzing a trace of IP datagrams sent and received by an execution of the traceroute program (the traceroute program itself is explored in more detail in the Wireshark ICMP lab). We’ll investigate the various fields in the IP datagram, and study IP fragmentation in detail.
Before beginning this lab, you’ll probably want to review sections 1.4.3 in the text
and section 3.4 of RFC 2151 [ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc2151.txt] to update yourself on the operation of the traceroute program. You’ll also want to read Section 4.4 in the text, and probably also have RFC 791 [ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc791.txt] on hand as well, for a discussion of the IP protocol.
1. Capturing packets from an execution of traceroute
In order to generate a trace of IP datagrams for this lab, we’ll use the traceroute program to send datagrams of different sizes towards some destination, X. Recall that traceroute operates by first sending one or more datagrams with the time-to-live (TTL) field in the IP header set to 1; it then sends a series of one or more datagrams towards the same destination with a TTL value of 2; it then sends a series of datagrams towards the same destination with a TTL value of 3; and so on. Recall that a router must decrement the TTL in each received datagram by 1 (actually, RFC 791 says that the router must decrement the TTL by at least one). If the TTL reaches 0, the router returns an ICMP message (type 11 – TTL-exceeded) to the sending host. As a result of this behavior, a datagram with a TTL of 1 (sent by the host executing traceroute) will cause the router one hop away from the sender to send an ICMP TTL-exceeded message back to the sender; the datagram sent with a TTL of 2 will cause the router two hops away to send an ICMP message back to the sender; the datagram sent with a TTL of 3 will cause the router three hops away to send an ICMP message back to the sender; and so on. In this manner, the host executing traceroute can learn the identities of the routers between itself and destination X by looking at the source IP addresses in the datagrams containing the ICMP TTL-exceeded messages.
We’ll want to run traceroute and have it send datagrams of various lengths.
· Windows. The tracert program (used for our ICMP Wireshark lab) provided with Windows does not allow one to change the size of the ICMP echo request (ping) message sent by the tracert program. A nicer Windows traceroute program is pingplotter, available both in free version and shareware versions at http://www.pingplotter.com. Download and install pingplotter, and test it out by performing a few tr.

Willowbrook SchoolBackgroundWillowbrook School is a small, pri.docx
Willowbrook School
Background
Willowbrook School is a small, private school in the Midwest United States. For the past 20 years, it has offered a curriculum for preschool through 6th grade. Five years ago it expanded to offer after-school care, usually referred to as after care, on premises. After care is not only offered to Willowbrook’s students, but also for students of other schools in the area.
As an independent systems analyst working as a team, you work as an IT consultant, specializing in developing IT solutions for small businesses. You have been contacted by the director, Victoria Owens, to discuss the possibility of setting up a computer system to handle some of the school’s administrative and financial tasks. She explains to you that Willowbrook is experiencing significant increases in enrollment applications for all programs. Increases in applications, coupled with increased demand for after-school care, have led to a very high workload for the administrative personnel and staff. The principal and teachers have stepped in where possible, but the demand is becoming too great. Willowbrook School is a non-profit, and is not in a position to hire another full-time administrative position, which is what the principal and director think would be needed to handle the increased workload. You agree to meet with Victoria and the principal, Kathy Gilliard next week to discuss the school and its need for an information system.
You sit down with Victoria and Kathy on Wednesday to ask them some questions to help you determine what type of information system they need. You explain to them that information systems bring computer hardware and software together with people, processes, and data to produce specific results. They are excited to tell you about their situation and what they have in mind for a computer system to help with some of the work load. To help you with planning for the information system, you ask them about what personnel they have, as well as some questions to determine what types of information each person needs to do their job.
Victoria explains her role as the executive director of the school. She administers the activities of the school in accordance with the mission, vision, and policies established by the Board of Directors. She supports the educational staff and oversees the financial, payroll, and human resources functions for the school. She also prepares all necessary reports and evaluations for the state and local school boards. Kathy says that as the principal of Willowbrook she handles the academic and curricular issues that arise, and ensures that the school meets all federal and state educational standards. Kathy and the teachers who report to her make decisions jointly about admissions and assignments to classrooms. The two kitchen staff personnel, a head cook and an assistant, also report to the principal. She also coordinates students’ bus transportation schedule. The school contracts with a local bussing co.

winter 2013 235
CREATE A CONTRACT
Instructions:
I will give you a fact scenario below that involves some college students who are having difficulty living together as roommates.
Your task will be to create a contract to solve the problems and issues that the fact pattern raises. Hint I had (sixteen) 16 issues when I did the assignment.
After you create the contract, you will then include around a two page written description about WHY you chose to design the provisions of the contract the way you did.
Your grade will be based on:
1. Whether your contract identifies and solves the problems
2. Whether your contract is realistic
a. (ie a clause that says no roommate shall ever enter the room of another roommate is not practical because what if you hear them yelling for help, or if you haven’t seen them in 14 days.) I want you to think about “loopholes” and the “what if” types of things that can go wrong.
3. Language… Really in this assignment PLEASE pay attention to the words you type because one missing word can make the contract really silly… In last year’s contracts I had someone write… A roommate can eat any food in the apartment that has their name on it… (Great give me a pen and I’ll just put my name on everything).
4. Your explanation, did you have sound reasoning for putting in something in the contract.
5. Following the LAW:… This assignment requires you to have a general understanding of what a contract is and how it works… That is, after all, what we have been studying.
a. Do not include items in your contract that are illegal or are not a contract… For example do not say if the roommate leaves the toilet seat up, they will place their hands on the toilet and have their fingers slammed 10 times by the toilet seat. (That’s not enforceable)
b. Do NOT include something like… If roommate “brion” doesn’t like the punishment he can change it to what he wants, or if I don’t want to follow this rule I don’t have to”… (It is not a contract if one person can CHOOSE to not follow something, It also not a contract when you leave punishments, requirements ect for the “future to be determined”
6. Creativity/problem solving/format of contract
a. You must follow the general format of a contract I have included after the fact scenario… Trust me I am including the sections that ALL your contracts must have for your benefit. It will make organizing it a lot easier for you.
b. You must CHOOSE to write your contract from the viewpoint of one of the four people below or as a disinterested outside party… This is critical because if you are writing the contract from the perspective of one of the people it should FAVOR that person (in a reasonable way), if you are writing as a disinterested third party (an attorney) you should try and be as fair to all as possible.
c. In your explanation tell me from what viewpoint…actually make that your first sentence.

Workplace Bullying: Costly and
Preventable
By Terry L Wiedmer
W orkplace bullying is a pervasive practice by malicious individuals who seekpower, control,domination, and subjugation. In businesses or schools, such bullying is an inefficient
way of working that is both costly and preventable. Senior management and executives are
ultimately responsible for creating and sustaining bully-free workplaces. Workplace bullies can be
stopped if employees and employers work together to establish and enforce appropriate workplace
policies and practices. This article presents information about workplace bullying, including its
prevalence, targeted individuals, bullying behaviors, employer practices, and steps to prevent
bullying. In the end, leadership and an environment of respect provide the ultimate formula for
stopping workplace bullying.
Bullying occurs between and among people in all venues—in the home, community, and
workplace. It is a pervasive, targeted, and planned effort that can be overtly obvious or
can fly under the radar and is conducted by practiced and malicious individuals who seek
power, control, domination, and subjugation. The impacts of such actions—in terms of
finances, emotions, health, morale, and overall productivity—are destructive, and the
ramifications are limitless (Mattice, 2009). Because no one is immune from the potential of
being subjected to bullying in the workplace, this topic merits further review and analysis
(Van Dusen, 2008). :
To combat workplace bullying, often referred to as psychological harassment or
violence (Workplace Bullying Institute [WBI], 2007), employers must have a full range of
policies in place and means available to them to create and maintain a healthy workplace
culture and climate. Although they are not generally for-profit endeavors, schools and
school systems are purposeful businesses that share the same concerns and have the same
responsibility to ensure that each employee works in a respectful environment and is not
subjected to workplace bullies.
Workplace Bullying •
According to the Workforce Bullying Institute (WBI), workplace bullying is
the repeated, health-harming mistreatment of one or more persons (the targets)
by one or more perpetrators that takes one or more of the following forms: verbal
abuse; offensive conduct/behaviors (including nonverbal) which are threatening,
humiliating, or intimidating; and work interference—sabotage—which prevents
work from getting done. (Definition of Workplace Bullying, para. 1)
Bullies seek to induce harm, jeopardize one's career and job, and destroy interpersonal
relationships. The behaviors of bullies harm people and ravage profits.
36 The Delta Kappa Gamma Bulletin
Prevalence of Workplace Bullying
Thirty-seven percent of U.S. workforce members report being bullied at work; this amounts
to an estimated 54 million Americans, which translates to nearly the entire population of
the states of Wash.
With the competitive advantage that Crocs’ supply chain holds, the.docx
With the competitive advantage that Crocs’ supply chain holds, the company also wants to be able to sustain their customers’ satisfaction. In doing this, they must make sure that their transformation process is producing consistent output especially when new products are introduced. This can be achieved by having a solid quality control system.
With the quality control system, inspections are to take place at three critical points. The first one is before production, which involves the raw materials in Crocs’ case that would be the raw materials, or chemicals that they purchase in pellet form. This first step can be eliminated by through supplier certification. The second critical point is during the production process. Process quality control takes place, which involves statistical process control. Periodic samples are taken from a continuous production, as long as sample measurements fall within the control limit the production will continue. However, if the samples fall outside the control limits, the process is stopped and a search is made for an assignable cause. In this case, the process will use a quality control chart known as an attribute control chart. The whole purpose is to find the natural random variability in the output oppose to unnecessary variations. The company must maintain that natural random variability to be under statistical control. The last critical point is after production. Following these inspections is process capability. Process capability is assessed once the process is under statistical control. It is the ability of the process to meet or exceed customers’ specifications. Process capability is determined by using the process capability index. If the process is unable to meet the customer specifications the following step is continuous improvement in which case seven tools are used including a flow chart, check sheet, histogram, Pareto chart, cause and effect, scatter diagram and a control chart. These tools are then incorporated into an improvement approach known as Six Sigma. Six Sigma includes five steps:
1. Defining a process for improvement
2. Measuring the variables and setting goals for improvement
3. Analyzing the root causes in which case the seven tools are referred to
4. Making improvements
5. Implementing a control plan to ensure that changes are permanent
In furthering research on Crocs, it has been stated in online reviews by various customers that they have experienced defects in the seam of their shoes, cases in which their shoe had shrunk or didn’t fit at all, Crocs’ flip flops tearing apart, holes appearing in their shoes, and the smell of the shoes. These reviews are accessible to many consumers, and are capable of tainting the reputation of Crocs. Reviews such as these are important to pay attention to because it’s proof of the importance of solidifying an efficient quality control system. It is especially important when introducing new products, and the use of different materials. .

Wind power resources on the eastern U.S. continental shelf are est.docx
Wind power resources on the eastern U.S. continental shelf are estimated to be over 400 GW, several times the electricity used by U.S. eastern coastal states. The first U.S. developer proposes to build 130 large (40 story tall) wind turbines in Nan- tucket Sound, just outside Massachusetts state waters. These would provide 420 MW at market prices, enough electricity for most of Cape Cod. The project is opposed by a vigorous and well-financed coalition. Polling shows local public opinion on the project almost equally divided. This article draws on semistructured interviews with residents of Cape Cod to analyze values, beliefs, and logic of supporters and oppo- nents. For example, one value found to lead to opposition is that the ocean is a special place that should be kept natural and free of human intrusion. One line of argument found to lead to support is: The war in Iraq is problematic, this war is “really” over petroleum, Cape Cod generates electricity from oil, therefore, the wind project would improve U.S. security. Based on analysis of the values and reasoning behind our interview data, we identify four issues that are relevant but not currently part of the debate.
Introduction
Recent assessments of renewable energy show that wind power has, since the turn of the century, become cost-competitive in the sites with the most favorable wind regimes (Herzog et al., 2001). Until very recently, large-scale North American wind resources were believed to exist in the Great Plains of the United States, northern Canada, and central Canada only (Grubb & Meyer, 1993). Although these huge resources are enough to meet the entire continent’s electrical needs, they are distant from the large coastal cities where electricity is primarily consumed—imposing a need for costly large-scale transmission lines (Cavallo, 1995). In just the last couple of years, it has been recog- nized that the Atlantic Ocean also has a large wind resource on the continental shelf, close to East Coast cities. Three or four manufacturers have developed large wind elec- tric turbines designed to be placed offshore, in waters up to 20–30 m in depth. To date these have been placed only in European waters. By late 2003, the resources, the tech- nology, and the economic viability had all come together in the Eastern United States, potentially allowing large-scale deployment to begin by 2005.
The furthest advanced of a handful of proposed U.S. offshore wind developments is in Nantucket Sound, off the Southern coast of Cape Cod, Massachusetts. This proposal has engendered a widespread, well-organized, well-financed, and politically potent op- position. This movement’s strength, and the apparent contradiction of such opposition coming from a population thought of as politically liberal and environmentally con- cerned, have garnered national press coverage (e.g., Burkett, 2003). A second project was proposed by the Long Island Power Authority for the southern edge of Long Island, with an .

Technology Diffusion, S-Curve, and Innovation-Decision Process
In this week's reflection report I will discuss technology diffusion, S-Curves and innovation
decision process. I will use the healthcare industry as an example. Our healthcare system is ever
evolving - new technologies, insurance models, and information systems are shaping the system
on a daily basis. Despites these changes and the huge healthcare expenditures (16 of GDP in
America compared to 8 in United Kingdom), Americans are comparatively not any healthier
than citizens in most other developed nations (Merson, Black, & Mills, 2012). The disconnect
between investments in technology and health outcomes is a concern of us all. It makes as
question technology diffusion within the healthcare system: are investments in health system
being spent efficiently? Are consumers really resistant to changes that benefit their health? Or
are there issues with technology diffusion as a practice.
Diffusion is the process by which an innovation is spread through a population. Ironically,
people and institutions, generally, do not like change. Change is viewed as painful, difficult and
times creating uncertainties. Because of this, and for the healthcare industry, huge amounts of
resources are devoted either to promoting innovations (for example, selling the latest drug,
imaging system, medical device etc.) or to preventing innovations from disrupting the status quo.
Although many successful healthcare innovations are aimed at making people healthier, at
relatively smaller increases in costs, IT usage in healthcare has always lagged other industries -
ERH are a good example. Adoption of ERH was slow. Literature on technology diffusion states
that successful implementation is influenced by the compatibility and complexity of the
innovation, organizational context, and the characteristics of the implementation strategy (Cain
M, & Mittman, 2002; Rogers, 1995). People respond to these factors differently resulting in an
S-shaped curve illustration of the adoption process.
The S-curve model shows that any innovation is first adopted by a few people/organizations and
as more use it, and confidence is built around the technology, other will begin to use it. Because
of the inherent uncertainty to new innovations, the decision to adopt an innovation takes time.
However, "once the diffusion reaches a level of critical mass, it proceeds rapidly. Eventually a
point is reached where the population is less likely to adopt the innovation, and spread slows
down. The S-curve implies a hierarchy of adopters, starting with innovators, early adopters, early
majority, late majority and laggards (Rogers, 1995). In other words the S-curve explains the
innovation-decision process: the process through which an individual/organization passes
through from when they gain knowledge of an innovation, to forming an attitude, to the decision
to accept or reject the innovation, .
WinARM - Simulating Advanced RISC Machine Architecture .docx
This document discusses the design and implementation of WinARM, a simulator for the ARM processor written in C. WinARM uses a fetch-decode-execute model to simulate the ARM architecture. It includes a Visual Basic GUI to allow users to observe the simulation. The goal of WinARM is to facilitate learning computer architecture through hands-on simulation of an ARM processor, without requiring actual hardware. Future work may include simulating additional ARM instruction types and incorporating instruction pipelining.
William PennWhat religion was William PennWilliam Pen was fr.docx
William Penn
What religion was William Penn?
William Pen was from an Anglican family that was very distinguished. His father was Sir William Pen who was a landowner. At twenty two, Penn decided to join the Quakers which was also referred to as the Religious Society of Friends. The Quakers used to obey the inner light and they believed that the inner light came directly from God. They refused to take their hats off or even bow for any man. They also refused to take their arms up. Their beliefs were completely different as compared to the beliefs that the other Christians had (Barbour & Frost, 1988).
The Oxford University in England expelled Penn in the year 1662 since he refused to conform to the teachings of the Anglican Church. He could publicly state his beliefs and he could also print some of the things that he believed in.
Quakers’ founder was George Foxx who was a close friend to Penn. Cromwell’s death was a time of turmoil to the Quakers since they were suspected for the death. They were suspected because they had beliefs that differed from the religion that had been imposed for the state. They had also refused to swear a loyalty oath to Cromwell, who was the king. Quakers did not swear since Christ had commanded people not to swear.
The religious views that Penn had were a distress to his father. Naval service had helped him earn an Ireland estate and he had always hoped that the intelligence and charisma that his son had could help him in winning favor at the Charles II court. However, that could not happen since his son was always arrested. Penn and George Foxx were frequent companions since they could always travel together in order to spread their ministry. He also wrote a comprehension that was detailed and comprehensive regarding Quakerism. After the death of his father in 1670, Penn inherited the estates of the family and he could frequently visit the court of King Charles II where he was always campaigning for freedom in religion (Penn, 1794).
Where was William Penn born?
William Penn was born in London, United Kingdom. He was born on fourteenth of October in the year 1644. He was a privileged son since he was born by a gentleman who was a land owner. Thomas Loe, who was a Quaker minister, greatly affected Penn by his teachings.
In 1677 a group of important men all from Penn’s religion received a land area in the Colonies for them to settle. Penn himself remained in England but wrote a government for this new community. In what part of the US was this land area located?
In the year 1677, the Quakers relocated to another land. The city of Burlington is located in the Burlington County in New Jersey. It is Philadelphia’s suburb. The Quakers settlers moved to Burlington. Burlington served as West Jersey’s capital until the year 1702. The Quakers were able to formally establish their congregation in the year 1678. Initially, they could meet in private homes. However, between 1683 and 1687, a hexagonal house that was made .

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Why is investing relevant to managerial decision making· As wit.docx
- 1. Why is investing relevant to managerial decision making? · As with all Decision Making, biases and boundedness compromise outcomes · So many managerial decisions comprise investing something · Money, time, energy, resources, reputation, emotion, hopes…what else? · Perceptual and cognitive errors are unavoidable for humans · Observation insight improvement · Course objective: to develop comfort with reasoning through complex decisions, yourself and in teams/organizations · But NOT so you can better exploit others’ compromised DM! Investment decisions – studied in Behavioral Finance · Focus on “Prescriptive” or “Descriptive”? · Reveals how biases affect both individuals and markets · Individuals/teams/units will be our focus · Yours, as well as your customers, suppliers, partners, etc. · Point out analogies where “investment” is in other than $ terms Main causes of poor investment decisions · Overconfidence in own knowledge, beliefs, predictions · “Active trading is hazardous to your wealth”. Men usually worse. · How do brokerages reconcile the conflicts of interest? · Optimism about choices made · Relates to availability heuristics, confirmation bias, and regret avoidance · Encouraged by financial media – why? · Denying randomness (or regression to the mean) · The past usually predicts the future, but not the way most people believe · Anchoring, status quo, and procrastination · Tendency toward status quo, consistency, omission, or inaction · Poor framing and misuse of reference points
- 2. · Complexicating gains/losses; not treating sunk costs as irrelevant · Prospect theory: risk aversion with gains, risk seeking with losses Active trading · Traders, like everyone, are likely to regress to the mean · The mean is losing money, since the bank/casino always get its cut · Many jumped into the role based on vivid data · Skewed by availability and affect heuristics · Most neglected the other side of each transaction · Other party is likely better equipped than you · Every transaction has at least two sides, winners and losers Steps to better decision-making in investing · Recognize impossibility of outsmarting the market · Keynes’ analogy of higher-order thinking · Relates to the “pick a number between 0 and 100” game · No perfect solution because human nature determines the outcome · Determine goals and plans, then act on and stick with them · Balance “shoulds” and “wants” (listen to the angel, mostly) · Deploy your heuristics in useful ways · Make long-term plans without near-term emotions · Develop formulas (plans and policies) objectively · Then stick to them! · Extensions to non-monetary investments · Most of these concepts apply to investments of other resources · Time, energy, reputation, careers, emotion, hopes, what else? · Analogies, examples? Apply the concepts of irrational investment decisions (Above in Blue) to decisions in your life... Questions: · In your non-monetary investments (time, energy, attention, careers, hopes, dreams, etc.) what limits your rationality? To what effect?
- 3. · Insightfully apply chapter 8’s suggestions for overcoming irrationality to various non-monetary investment decisions you’re facing. Conclude “Therefore,…” · Include Q# in the subject header and then answer, Introspection and insightfulness are more important than spelling or grammar.
