HW in teams of 3 studentsAn oil remanufacturing company uses c.docx
HW in teams of 3 students
An oil remanufacturing company uses clay in its manufacturing process. This clay comes into the plant in 80-pound bags stacked 40 per pallet and 50 pallets per boxcar. The railroad spur comes into the plant property but your plant does not have a rail car siding. Two car loads per year are used. The union and the company agreed that the part time workers would be hired for one week, twice a year at the rate of $7.5 per hour to unload these cars. You feel that this is a bad job and no one should have to work this hard. You look into this project
1
Why is this done?
We need the clay, and the railroad is by far the cheapest way to transport it
What: 80pounds bags of clay=160,000 pound boxcar load
Where: from the boxcar in our yard to the storeroom, 300ft away
Who: 2 temporary workers
When: one week, twice a year
How: Present method: manually unload the pallets off the boxcar then move these pallets into the storeroom with the fork truck we already own
2
How much could you spend improving this job?
We spend a week, twice a year with 2 temporary workers at $7.5
4 weeks* 40 hours per week*7.5per hour = $1,200
3
Questions:
Should the current method stays the same?
Are there other alternatives?
Is the current method the cheapest in the long run?
How would you justify an expenditure over $3,000
What do you think about cumulative trauma disorders and work-related injuries?
4
Write a report with the answers to your questions.
Include figures, tables, and other sources of information to help justify the project and also answer the questions. You can certainly use the textbook to help you.
Include in your report a list of references and of course cite all your sources of information.
This work MUST be done in teams of 3 people or 2. No individual assignment will be accepted.

HW 5 Math 405. Due beginning of class – Monday, 10 Oct 2016.docx
Romeo and Juliet's relationship is modeled mathematically. Their love and hate for each other oscillates over time based on a set of differential equations. Mercutio tries to interfere by negatively influencing Romeo's feelings for Juliet. This changes the model and results in a different outcome for Romeo and Juliet's relationship. The model is further complicated by Mercutio developing feelings for Juliet and Juliet having mixed feelings for both Romeo and Mercutio, creating a love triangle. The dynamics of this new system are analyzed using eigenvalues and phase planes. Additional models examine planetary orbits and competition between rabbits and sheep.

RSA Encryption
RSA = Rivest, Shamir, and Adelman (MIT), 1978
Underlying hard problem
– Number theory – determining prime factors of a given
(large) number
e.g., factoring of small #: 5 -) 5, 6 -) 2 *3
– Arithmetic modulo n
How secure is RSA?
– So far remains secure (after all these years...)
– Will somebody propose a quick algorithm to factor
large numbers?
– Will quantum computing break it? -) TBD
RSA Encryption
In RSA:
– P = E (D(P)) = D(E(P)) (order of D/E does not matter)
– More precisely: P = E(kE, D(kD, P)) = D(kD, E(kE, P))
Encryption: C = Pe mod n KE = e
– n is the key length
– Note, P is turned into an integer using a padding
scheme
– Given C, it is very difficult to find P without knowing
KD
Decryption: P = Cd mod n KD = d
We will look at this algorithm in detail next time
RSA Algorithm
1. Key Generation
– A key generation algorithm
2. RSA Function Evaluation
– A function F, that takes as an input a point x and a
key k and produces either an encrypted result or
plaintext, depending on the input and the key
Key Generation
The key generation algorithm is the most
complex part of RSA
The aim of the key generation algorithm is to
generate both th ...

HW in teams of 3 studentsAn oil remanufacturing company uses c.docx
HW in teams of 3 students
An oil remanufacturing company uses clay in its manufacturing process. This clay comes into the plant in 80-pound bags stacked 40 per pallet and 50 pallets per boxcar. The railroad spur comes into the plant property but your plant does not have a rail car siding. Two car loads per year are used. The union and the company agreed that the part time workers would be hired for one week, twice a year at the rate of $7.5 per hour to unload these cars. You feel that this is a bad job and no one should have to work this hard. You look into this project
1
Why is this done?
We need the clay, and the railroad is by far the cheapest way to transport it
What: 80pounds bags of clay=160,000 pound boxcar load
Where: from the boxcar in our yard to the storeroom, 300ft away
Who: 2 temporary workers
When: one week, twice a year
How: Present method: manually unload the pallets off the boxcar then move these pallets into the storeroom with the fork truck we already own
2
How much could you spend improving this job?
We spend a week, twice a year with 2 temporary workers at $7.5
4 weeks* 40 hours per week*7.5per hour = $1,200
3
Questions:
Should the current method stays the same?
Are there other alternatives?
Is the current method the cheapest in the long run?
How would you justify an expenditure over $3,000
What do you think about cumulative trauma disorders and work-related injuries?
4
Write a report with the answers to your questions.
Include figures, tables, and other sources of information to help justify the project and also answer the questions. You can certainly use the textbook to help you.
Include in your report a list of references and of course cite all your sources of information.
This work MUST be done in teams of 3 people or 2. No individual assignment will be accepted.

HW 5 Math 405. Due beginning of class – Monday, 10 Oct 2016.docx
Romeo and Juliet's relationship is modeled mathematically. Their love and hate for each other oscillates over time based on a set of differential equations. Mercutio tries to interfere by negatively influencing Romeo's feelings for Juliet. This changes the model and results in a different outcome for Romeo and Juliet's relationship. The model is further complicated by Mercutio developing feelings for Juliet and Juliet having mixed feelings for both Romeo and Mercutio, creating a love triangle. The dynamics of this new system are analyzed using eigenvalues and phase planes. Additional models examine planetary orbits and competition between rabbits and sheep.

e.g., factoring of small #: 5 -) 5, 6 -) 2 *3
– Arithmetic modulo n
How secure is RSA?
– So far remains secure (after all these years...)
– Will somebody propose a quick algorithm to factor

– Will quantum computing break it? -) TBD
RSA Encryption
In RSA:
– P = E (D(P)) = D(E(P)) (order of D/E does not matter)
– More precisely: P = E(kE, D(kD, P)) = D(kD, E(kE, P))
Encryption: C = Pe mod n KE = e
– n is the key length
– Note, P is turned into an integer using a padding
scheme
– Given C, it is very difficult to find P without knowing

eligible for any loans. the prices of available cars on the lot are given as follows:
Make, model and year Price
Toyota Corolla 2002 9350
Toyota Camry 2001 10500
Buick Lesabre 2001 8825
Honda Civic 2000 9215
Subaru Impreza 2000 9690
For any given year, you prefer a Camry to an Impreza, an Impreza to a Corolla, a
Corolla to a Civic, and a Civic to a LeSabre. For any given year, you are willing to
pay $999 to move from any given car to the next preferred one. For example, if the
price of the Corolla is z, then you are willing to buy it rather than a Civic if the Civic
costs more than z−999 but prefer the civic if it costs less than this. For any given car,
you are willing to move to a model a year older if it is cheaper by at least $500. For
example, if the price of a 2003 Civic is x, then you are willing to buy it rather than a
2002 Civic, if the 2002 Civic costs more than x−500.

1 Introduction
We are all familiar with the general idea of uncertainty. We are uncertain
about tomorrow’s weather, about whether we will wake up with a headache
tomorrow morning, and about whether someone’s estimate of the labor re-
quired to repair our car is correct. Considerable effort is directed toward
coping with uncertainty. Some farmers have costly irrigation systems in or-
der to make output less dependent on variations in rainfall. And many of
us buy insurance of various sorts to limit our exposure to some kinds of un-
certainty. Moreover, there are government programs like disaster aid and
unemployment insurance that are intended to offset some of the effects of
uncertainty.
Here is an example of the kind of setting we will study. There are N
people labelled 1, 2, ...,N. Rainfall is uncertain and it can either be high or
low, just two possibilities. We denote the level of rainfall by s ∈ {H,L},
where we use the letter s as a shorthand for state or state-of-the-world and
where H stands for high and L for low. We suppose that each person has
some land that will without effort bear a crop of some amount of rice. The
size of the crop will depend on whether rainfall is high or low. For person n,
we denote the size of the rice crop by (wnH,wnL), where wns is the crop on
n’s land if the state is s. We assume that wns > 0, but, otherwise, make no
other special assumptions about it. In particular, we want to assume that
some land does better with high rainfall and other land does better with low
rainfall. If s = H, the total crop is
∑N

HW #1Tech Alert on IT & Strategy (Ch 3-5Ch 3 -5 IT Strategy opt.docx
Zara gathers customer feedback and sales data from its stores to inform product design and inventory decisions. Store managers use PDAs to chat with customers and get input on styles. After closing, they analyze unsold items to identify customer preferences. Manager updates combine this qualitative feedback with quantitative sales data from POS systems. This evidence-based approach allows Zara to quickly design and reorder based on demand rather than guesses, helping it dominate the fast fashion industry.

Trusses are …
• Structures designed to support loads:
− Will transmit loads through the joints of the structure
− Will ultimately transmit loads to the foundation
• Cost effective in design because:
− Weight is minimized (weight of members is typically
light compared to loads carried, so it is often
neglected)
− Strength to weight ratio is maximized
Image copyright 2013, Pearson Education, publishing as Prentice Hall
Working with Trusses:
Assumptions
• All loads are applied / transmitted at joints
• All members are joined by pin connections
• Consist entirely of two-force members
(review section 5.4)
• Can contain zero-force members
Image copyright 2013, Pearson Education, publishing as Prentice Hall
Zero-force Members
What are zero-force members?
• Structural members that carry no force
Why do we use them?
• Used to provide stability
– During construction
– If (intermittent) loading of the truss changes
• Shortens chord length and increases
buckling capacity of compression members

HW 2 - SQL The database you will use for this assignme.docx
HW 2 - SQL
The database you will use for this assignment contains information related to Major League
Baseball (MLB) about players, teams, and games. The relations are:
Players(playerID, playerName, team, position, birthYear)
● playerID is a player identifier used in MLB, and all players throughout the history of
baseball have a unique ID
● playerName is player’s name
● team is the name of the MLB team the player is currently playing on (or the last team the
player played for if they are not currently playing)
● position is the position of the player
● birthYear is the year that player was born
Teams(teamID, teamName, home, leagueName)
● teamID is a unique ID internal to MLB.
● teamName is the name of the team
● home is the home city of the team
● leagueName is the league the team is in, i.e. either “National” or “American”, which
stands for “National League” and “American League”, respectively
Games(gameID, homeTeamID, guestTeamID, date)
● gameID is a unique ID used internally in MLB
● homeTeamID is the ID of the hometeam
● guestTeamID is the ID of the visiting team
● date is the date of the game.
A sample instance of this database is given at the end of this homework handout. Since it is just
one instance of the database designed to give you some intuition, you should not “customize”
your answer to work only with this instance.
1. (10 points each) Write the following queries in SQL, using the schema provided
above. (Note: Your queries must not be “state-dependent", that is, they should work without
modification even if another instance of the database is given.)
(a) Print the names of all players who were born in 1970 and played for the Braves.
(b) Print the names of teams that do not have a pitcher.
(c) Print names of all players who have played in the National League.
(d) Print all gameIDs with Phillies as the home team.
2. (15 points each) Write the following queries in SQL, using the schema provided
above.
(a) Print all teamIDs where the team played against the Phillies but not against the Braves.
(b) Print all tuples (playerID1, playerID2, team) where playerID1 and playerID2 are (or have
been) on the same team. Avoid listing self-references or duplicates, e.g. do not allow
(1,1,”Braves”) or both (2,5,”Phillies”) and (5,2,”Phillies”).
(c) Print all tuples (teamID1, league1, teamID2, league2, date) where teamID1 and teamID2
played against each other in a World Series game. Although there is no direct information
about the World Series games in the relations, we can infer that when two teams from different
leagues play each other, it is a World Series game. So, in this relation, league1 and league2
should be different leagues.
(d) List all cities that have a team in all leagues. For example, there are currently two leagues
(National and American). Although not shown in this instance, New York is home to the Mets in
the National ...

The document summarizes a Senate report on the government's response to Hurricane Katrina. It finds that while officials were warned of Katrina's potential devastation, they failed to adequately prepare. Evacuation and shelter plans for New Orleans were incomplete. The storm exceeded the response capacity of all levels of government. Leadership failures at the federal, state and local levels compounded the crisis. FEMA and DHS were unprepared for a catastrophe of this scale.

Student Sample Essay #2
Genesis Myth
“And God created man in His own image, in the image of God he created male and female. He created them. And God blessed them.” (Leonard, Mcclure, 87) Unfortunately, the sentiment that men and women are equals is contradicted several times in the Genesis myth. The Genesis myth has had a negative influence on women’s roles in society that continually have impacts in today’s modern world. The myth describes women’s purpose as being subservient to men, women are easily swayed and manipulated, and that for seeking knowledge, women deserve the painful shame of childbirth. This patriarchal creation myth has played a role in justifying the suppression of equal rights throughout history and is still debated today.
To begin, the sole reason for the creation of woman ...
HUMAN RESOURCES’ ROLE IN SUCCESSION PLANNING Succession planni.docx
HUMAN RESOURCES’ ROLE IN SUCCESSION PLANNING
Succession planning and stewardship of corporate talent pool is a top priority for most companies. HRM can have a significant impact on the succession planning process.
There are three general roles that HR leaders play in succession planning.
1| THE CONSIGLIORE
HR can play a critical influential role in succession planning in a variety of business models such a in Public Companies, family-owned businesses and privately held firms.
The chief HR officer (CHRO) should serve as an idea generator, a challenger and a confidant with an independent perspective to the CEO and to the board. HR can also serve as someone who can assist in the resolution of conflicts as they arise in the succession planning process.
2| THE PROCESS OWNER
Without a capable individual providing strong and objective process discipline, boards often revert to emergency closed door sessions and uninformed decision-making. HR should be the process steward for succession planning.
HR needs to create the process, provide the tools and put forth succession candidates. HR should be a counselor who can help neutralize emotions and make sure decision makers have an objective perspective.
HR needs to be the leader and an integral and constant presence in the succession-planning process
3| THE SUBJECT MATTER EXPERT
HR leaders need to know the leadership talent pool and provide reliable and meaningful information on succession candidates.
HR should provide the insights about the strengths, weaknesses and development plans for individuals as well as characteristics of the talent pool overall.
HR must serve as the central repository and “paint a picture” of various succession candidates. HR must present a succinct summary of experience, responsibilities, past performance ratings and development plans for all candidates .
The most important assessment is “An assessment of potential — whether someone is ready to lead now, could step in in an emergency, or needs additional development — is extremely valuable to the company.
Company’s expect human resources to provide detailed talent profiles of potential successor candidates, including strengths, weaknesses and specific development needs, particularly in areas that can help someone move to the next level. The HR department needs to be prepared for any eventuality.
Human resources can play a critical role in matching the right person for each situation.
For example, if the company needs someone to “shake things up” it would be important for HR to have identified Change Agents in the organization
It the company needs to know “Who would step in to fill a key position in case of an emergency” HR should have identified those in the organization
Human resources’ should and must take the lead and have a primary role in succession planning.
Succession Planning and Human Resources
Succession planning is a process whereby an organization ensures that empl ...

Human space exploration is exciting. Robotic explorers can venture.docx
Human space exploration is exciting. Robotic explorers can venture great distances from Earth without concerns for safety. Robotic space exploration is much less expensive. Should space explorers be human, robotic, or both? As a start, discuss your views including whether one is more appropriate now and another at a later time when technological improvements and innovations have been realized.
Read NASA articles concerning robotic vs. human space exploration and some of the benefits of the space program by browsing through the NASA websites http://www.nasa.gov/ and http://www.nasa.gov/externalflash/MedicalBenefits/main.html.
Keep in mind, however, on January 14, 2004, President Bush gave a speech in which he announced the cancellation of the Space Shuttle program. One issue that John McCain (R-Ariz.) joined by Sens. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas) and David Vitter (R-La.), raised was that “Once the space shuttle is retired, Russia stands to possess the only means of transporting astronauts to and from the space station.” Currently that is the case - the United States is no longer able to launch its own astronauts to space. So now what?
According to space agency representatives, some astronauts will simply stay on the ground to help with the planning and design of future missions and vehicles. Others will accept rides aboard Russia's Soyuz space capsules to and from the International Space Station (ISS ), where they'll work.
According to Chris Buckley, ISS Flight Controller since 2006, “On March 14, 2011 NASA made a deal with the Russian Space Agency (RSA) for 12 trips to ISS at $753 million ($63 million/seat). This new set of trips will support US astronauts through 2015.” Russian Soyuz spacecraft now ferry astronauts to and from orbit and apparently will do so until private U.S. spaceships become available or NASA has the funds to develop future missions and space vehicles. These efforts cost money, though.
“NASA's budget has generally been approximately 1% of the federal budget from the early 1970s on, but briefly peaked to approximately 3.3% in 1966 during the Apollo Moon program. Recent public perception of the NASA budget has been shown to be significantly different from reality; a 1997 poll indicated that Americans who responded thought on average that 20% of the federal budget went to NASA.
The actual percentage of federal budget that NASA has been allocated has been steadily dropping since the Apollo program and as of 2012 the NASA budget was estimated to be 0.48% of the federal budget. In a March 2012 meeting of the United States Senate Science Committee, Neil deGrasse Tyson testified that "Right now, NASA’s annual budget is half a penny on your tax dollar.”
NASA’s 2015 budget was less than half a percent of the federal budget (0.45 percent to be more accurate) per professional astronomer and writer Phil Plait. He stated,
“To give you a sense of scale, take a one dollar bill, and a pair of scissors. They’d better be sharp: Slice ...

Human Resource Employee Handbook- 10 pgs not including title, cont.docx
Human Resource Employee Handbook- 10 pgs not including title, contents, and references
Creating an Employee Handbook
Congratulations! Since our firm is rapidly expanding, I believe that we need a HR upgrade due to some recent unfortunate employment situations at the company. I have chosen you to begin drafting the first employee handbook for our company in an effort to hopefully avoid some of the recent costly legal problems the company has faced. You are welcome to consult other resources out there, but you must cite/quote appropriately or risk an academic integrity violation (Assume that the company is now large enough that all major federal employment laws apply and you are based here in Texas):
1. The general terms and conditions of employment and the responsibilities of the employer and employee, including, but not limited to, events of separation, pay and vacation.
2. How the company will conduct the testing of its employees for drugs and alcohol
3. What are the workers expectations of privacy in the company and privacy rights with regards to equipment and physical facilities
4. A comprehensive reporting and investigation policy with regards to discrimination, with a specific emphasis on sexual harassment. As this is a new company, many employees don’t know much about sexual harassment and will need a comprehensive explanation of what it is and its ramifications. Pretend they know nothing and use this as a vehicle to show your knowledge on the subject.
5. The companies FMLA policy, especially as it relates to vacation and sick leave.
The visual appearance of the manual is up to you, but it must be appear “professional” in all respects. Paper must be 10 pages in length (no including title, contents, and references), the handbook much be legally compliant in all respects and provides enough detail and explanation such that an employee of slightly below average intellectual ability will easily know what to do in each of the discussed situations are. The general grading breakdown is:
1. Grammatically Correct (20 Points) – One error per every other page is the baseline for full credit. You will lose 5 points for every error per page on average beyond one.
2. Comprehensibility (20 Points) – Can I easily understand what I must do to comply?
3. Professional Appearance (10 Points)
4. Citations (10 Points) - The President does not care which citation method you use, but he doesn’t want us to be facing a plagiarism situation. You should only be citing the text, laws or news articles on the subject, as the consultation of other employee handbooks is prohibited.
5. Content (90 Points – 18 points per section) – Did you substantively provide what was asked for in a legally compliant manner?

Human Resource ManagementHRM Definitions• ‘HRM invol.docx
Human Resource Management
HRM Definitions
• ‘HRM involves the productive use of people in achieving the organization’s strategic objectives and the satisfaction of individual employee needs’ (Stone 2014, p. 4).
• ‘HRM is a strategic approach to managing employee relations which emphasizes that leveraging people’s capabilities and commitment is critical to achieving sustainable competitive advantage or superior public services. This is accomplished through a distinctive set of integrated employment policies, programs and practices, embedded in an organizational and societal context’ (Bratton & Gold 2012, p. 7).
•HRM ‘refers to the policies, practices and systems that influence employees’ behavior, attitudes and performance. Many companies refer to HRM as ‘people management’. To achieve effective outcomes in terms of individual and ultimately organizational performance, these practices need to be linked with the organizational goals, or organizational strategy’ (Kramar et al 2014, p. 6).
•Human resource management is a distinctive approach to employment management which seeks to achieve competitive advantage through the strategic deployment of a highly committed and capable workforce using an array of cultural, structural and personnel techniques (Storey 2007, p. 7).
• ‘Our conception of HRM covers the policies and practices used to organise work and to employ people. In other words, HRM encompasses the management of work and the management of people to do the work’ (Boxall & Purcell 2008, p. 3).
•Work policies/practices: way the work is organised (e.g. low-discretion jobs where supervisors exercise a high degree of control).

1. (Tadelis p.12) You plan on buying a used car. You have $12,000 and you are not
eligible for any loans. the prices of available cars on the lot are given as follows:
Make, model and year Price
Toyota Corolla 2002 9350
Toyota Camry 2001 10500
Buick Lesabre 2001 8825
Honda Civic 2000 9215
Subaru Impreza 2000 9690
For any given year, you prefer a Camry to an Impreza, an Impreza to a Corolla, a
Corolla to a Civic, and a Civic to a LeSabre. For any given year, you are willing to
pay $999 to move from any given car to the next preferred one. For example, if the
price of the Corolla is z, then you are willing to buy it rather than a Civic if the Civic
costs more than z−999 but prefer the civic if it costs less than this. For any given car,
you are willing to move to a model a year older if it is cheaper by at least $500. For
example, if the price of a 2003 Civic is x, then you are willing to buy it rather than a
2002 Civic, if the 2002 Civic costs more than x−500.
(a) What is your set of possible alternatives?
(b) What are your preferences between each pair of alternatives in your set?
(c) What car would you choose?

1 Introduction
We are all familiar with the general idea of uncertainty. We are uncertain
about tomorrow’s weather, about whether we will wake up with a headache
tomorrow morning, and about whether someone’s estimate of the labor re-
quired to repair our car is correct. Considerable effort is directed toward
coping with uncertainty. Some farmers have costly irrigation systems in or-
der to make output less dependent on variations in rainfall. And many of
us buy insurance of various sorts to limit our exposure to some kinds of un-
certainty. Moreover, there are government programs like disaster aid and
unemployment insurance that are intended to offset some of the effects of
uncertainty.
Here is an example of the kind of setting we will study. There are N
people labelled 1, 2, ...,N. Rainfall is uncertain and it can either be high or
low, just two possibilities. We denote the level of rainfall by s ∈ {H,L},
where we use the letter s as a shorthand for state or state-of-the-world and
where H stands for high and L for low. We suppose that each person has
some land that will without effort bear a crop of some amount of rice. The
size of the crop will depend on whether rainfall is high or low. For person n,
we denote the size of the rice crop by (wnH,wnL), where wns is the crop on
n’s land if the state is s. We assume that wns > 0, but, otherwise, make no
other special assumptions about it. In particular, we want to assume that
some land does better with high rainfall and other land does better with low
rainfall. If s = H, the total crop is
∑N
n=1 wnH, denoted WH; if s = L, t ...

HW #1Tech Alert on IT & Strategy (Ch 3-5Ch 3 -5 IT Strategy opt.docx
Zara gathers customer feedback and sales data from its stores to inform product design and inventory decisions. Store managers use PDAs to chat with customers and get input on styles. After closing, they analyze unsold items to identify customer preferences. Manager updates combine this qualitative feedback with quantitative sales data from POS systems. This evidence-based approach allows Zara to quickly design and reorder based on demand rather than guesses, helping it dominate the fast fashion industry.

Trusses are …
• Structures designed to support loads:
− Will transmit loads through the joints of the structure
− Will ultimately transmit loads to the foundation
• Cost effective in design because:
− Weight is minimized (weight of members is typically
light compared to loads carried, so it is often
neglected)
− Strength to weight ratio is maximized
Image copyright 2013, Pearson Education, publishing as Prentice Hall
Working with Trusses:
Assumptions
• All loads are applied / transmitted at joints
• All members are joined by pin connections
• Consist entirely of two-force members
(review section 5.4)
• Can contain zero-force members
Image copyright 2013, Pearson Education, publishing as Prentice Hall
Zero-force Members
What are zero-force members?
• Structural members that carry no force
Why do we use them?
• Used to provide stability
– During construction
– If (intermittent) loading of the truss changes
• Shortens chord length and increases
buckling capacity of compression members

HW 2 - SQL The database you will use for this assignme.docx
HW 2 - SQL
The database you will use for this assignment contains information related to Major League
Baseball (MLB) about players, teams, and games. The relations are:
Players(playerID, playerName, team, position, birthYear)
● playerID is a player identifier used in MLB, and all players throughout the history of
baseball have a unique ID
● playerName is player’s name
● team is the name of the MLB team the player is currently playing on (or the last team the
player played for if they are not currently playing)
● position is the position of the player
● birthYear is the year that player was born
Teams(teamID, teamName, home, leagueName)
● teamID is a unique ID internal to MLB.
● teamName is the name of the team
● home is the home city of the team
● leagueName is the league the team is in, i.e. either “National” or “American”, which
stands for “National League” and “American League”, respectively
Games(gameID, homeTeamID, guestTeamID, date)
● gameID is a unique ID used internally in MLB
● homeTeamID is the ID of the hometeam
● guestTeamID is the ID of the visiting team
● date is the date of the game.
A sample instance of this database is given at the end of this homework handout. Since it is just
one instance of the database designed to give you some intuition, you should not “customize”
your answer to work only with this instance.
1. (10 points each) Write the following queries in SQL, using the schema provided
above. (Note: Your queries must not be “state-dependent", that is, they should work without
modification even if another instance of the database is given.)
(a) Print the names of all players who were born in 1970 and played for the Braves.
(b) Print the names of teams that do not have a pitcher.
(c) Print names of all players who have played in the National League.
(d) Print all gameIDs with Phillies as the home team.
2. (15 points each) Write the following queries in SQL, using the schema provided
above.
(a) Print all teamIDs where the team played against the Phillies but not against the Braves.
(b) Print all tuples (playerID1, playerID2, team) where playerID1 and playerID2 are (or have
been) on the same team. Avoid listing self-references or duplicates, e.g. do not allow
(1,1,”Braves”) or both (2,5,”Phillies”) and (5,2,”Phillies”).
(c) Print all tuples (teamID1, league1, teamID2, league2, date) where teamID1 and teamID2
played against each other in a World Series game. Although there is no direct information
about the World Series games in the relations, we can infer that when two teams from different
leagues play each other, it is a World Series game. So, in this relation, league1 and league2
should be different leagues.
(d) List all cities that have a team in all leagues. For example, there are currently two leagues
(National and American). Although not shown in this instance, New York is home to the Mets in
the National ...

Student Sample Essay #2
Genesis Myth
“And God created man in His own image, in the image of God he created male and female. He created them. And God blessed them.” (Leonard, Mcclure, 87) Unfortunately, the sentiment that men and women are equals is contradicted several times in the Genesis myth. The Genesis myth has had a negative influence on women’s roles in society that continually have impacts in today’s modern world. The myth describes women’s purpose as being subservient to men, women are easily swayed and manipulated, and that for seeking knowledge, women deserve the painful shame of childbirth. This patriarchal creation myth has played a role in justifying the suppression of equal rights throughout history and is still debated today.
To begin, the sole reason for the creation of woman ...
HUMAN RESOURCES’ ROLE IN SUCCESSION PLANNING Succession planni.docx
HUMAN RESOURCES’ ROLE IN SUCCESSION PLANNING
Succession planning and stewardship of corporate talent pool is a top priority for most companies. HRM can have a significant impact on the succession planning process.
There are three general roles that HR leaders play in succession planning.
1| THE CONSIGLIORE
HR can play a critical influential role in succession planning in a variety of business models such a in Public Companies, family-owned businesses and privately held firms.
The chief HR officer (CHRO) should serve as an idea generator, a challenger and a confidant with an independent perspective to the CEO and to the board. HR can also serve as someone who can assist in the resolution of conflicts as they arise in the succession planning process.
2| THE PROCESS OWNER
Without a capable individual providing strong and objective process discipline, boards often revert to emergency closed door sessions and uninformed decision-making. HR should be the process steward for succession planning.
HR needs to create the process, provide the tools and put forth succession candidates. HR should be a counselor who can help neutralize emotions and make sure decision makers have an objective perspective.
HR needs to be the leader and an integral and constant presence in the succession-planning process
3| THE SUBJECT MATTER EXPERT
HR leaders need to know the leadership talent pool and provide reliable and meaningful information on succession candidates.
HR should provide the insights about the strengths, weaknesses and development plans for individuals as well as characteristics of the talent pool overall.
HR must serve as the central repository and “paint a picture” of various succession candidates. HR must present a succinct summary of experience, responsibilities, past performance ratings and development plans for all candidates .
The most important assessment is “An assessment of potential — whether someone is ready to lead now, could step in in an emergency, or needs additional development — is extremely valuable to the company.
Company’s expect human resources to provide detailed talent profiles of potential successor candidates, including strengths, weaknesses and specific development needs, particularly in areas that can help someone move to the next level. The HR department needs to be prepared for any eventuality.
Human resources can play a critical role in matching the right person for each situation.
For example, if the company needs someone to “shake things up” it would be important for HR to have identified Change Agents in the organization
It the company needs to know “Who would step in to fill a key position in case of an emergency” HR should have identified those in the organization
Human resources’ should and must take the lead and have a primary role in succession planning.

Human space exploration is exciting. Robotic explorers can venture.docx
Human space exploration is exciting. Robotic explorers can venture great distances from Earth without concerns for safety. Robotic space exploration is much less expensive. Should space explorers be human, robotic, or both? As a start, discuss your views including whether one is more appropriate now and another at a later time when technological improvements and innovations have been realized.
Read NASA articles concerning robotic vs. human space exploration and some of the benefits of the space program by browsing through the NASA websites http://www.nasa.gov/ and http://www.nasa.gov/externalflash/MedicalBenefits/main.html.
Keep in mind, however, on January 14, 2004, President Bush gave a speech in which he announced the cancellation of the Space Shuttle program. One issue that John McCain (R-Ariz.) joined by Sens. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas) and David Vitter (R-La.), raised was that “Once the space shuttle is retired, Russia stands to possess the only means of transporting astronauts to and from the space station.” Currently that is the case - the United States is no longer able to launch its own astronauts to space. So now what?
According to space agency representatives, some astronauts will simply stay on the ground to help with the planning and design of future missions and vehicles. Others will accept rides aboard Russia's Soyuz space capsules to and from the International Space Station (ISS ), where they'll work.
According to Chris Buckley, ISS Flight Controller since 2006, “On March 14, 2011 NASA made a deal with the Russian Space Agency (RSA) for 12 trips to ISS at $753 million ($63 million/seat). This new set of trips will support US astronauts through 2015.” Russian Soyuz spacecraft now ferry astronauts to and from orbit and apparently will do so until private U.S. spaceships become available or NASA has the funds to develop future missions and space vehicles. These efforts cost money, though.
“NASA's budget has generally been approximately 1% of the federal budget from the early 1970s on, but briefly peaked to approximately 3.3% in 1966 during the Apollo Moon program. Recent public perception of the NASA budget has been shown to be significantly different from reality; a 1997 poll indicated that Americans who responded thought on average that 20% of the federal budget went to NASA.
The actual percentage of federal budget that NASA has been allocated has been steadily dropping since the Apollo program and as of 2012 the NASA budget was estimated to be 0.48% of the federal budget. In a March 2012 meeting of the United States Senate Science Committee, Neil deGrasse Tyson testified that "Right now, NASA’s annual budget is half a penny on your tax dollar.”
NASA’s 2015 budget was less than half a percent of the federal budget (0.45 percent to be more accurate) per professional astronomer and writer Phil Plait. He stated,
“To give you a sense of scale, take a one dollar bill, and a pair of scissors. They’d better be sharp: Slice ...

Human Resource Employee Handbook- 10 pgs not including title, cont.docx
Human Resource Employee Handbook- 10 pgs not including title, contents, and references
Creating an Employee Handbook
Congratulations! Since our firm is rapidly expanding, I believe that we need a HR upgrade due to some recent unfortunate employment situations at the company. I have chosen you to begin drafting the first employee handbook for our company in an effort to hopefully avoid some of the recent costly legal problems the company has faced. You are welcome to consult other resources out there, but you must cite/quote appropriately or risk an academic integrity violation (Assume that the company is now large enough that all major federal employment laws apply and you are based here in Texas):
1. The general terms and conditions of employment and the responsibilities of the employer and employee, including, but not limited to, events of separation, pay and vacation.
2. How the company will conduct the testing of its employees for drugs and alcohol
3. What are the workers expectations of privacy in the company and privacy rights with regards to equipment and physical facilities
4. A comprehensive reporting and investigation policy with regards to discrimination, with a specific emphasis on sexual harassment. As this is a new company, many employees don’t know much about sexual harassment and will need a comprehensive explanation of what it is and its ramifications. Pretend they know nothing and use this as a vehicle to show your knowledge on the subject.
5. The companies FMLA policy, especially as it relates to vacation and sick leave.
The visual appearance of the manual is up to you, but it must be appear “professional” in all respects. Paper must be 10 pages in length (no including title, contents, and references), the handbook much be legally compliant in all respects and provides enough detail and explanation such that an employee of slightly below average intellectual ability will easily know what to do in each of the discussed situations are. The general grading breakdown is:
1. Grammatically Correct (20 Points) – One error per every other page is the baseline for full credit. You will lose 5 points for every error per page on average beyond one.
2. Comprehensibility (20 Points) – Can I easily understand what I must do to comply?
3. Professional Appearance (10 Points)
4. Citations (10 Points) - The President does not care which citation method you use, but he doesn’t want us to be facing a plagiarism situation. You should only be citing the text, laws or news articles on the subject, as the consultation of other employee handbooks is prohibited.
5. Content (90 Points – 18 points per section) – Did you substantively provide what was asked for in a legally compliant manner?

Human Resource ManagementHRM Definitions• ‘HRM invol.docx
Human Resource Management
HRM Definitions
• ‘HRM involves the productive use of people in achieving the organization’s strategic objectives and the satisfaction of individual employee needs’ (Stone 2014, p. 4).
• ‘HRM is a strategic approach to managing employee relations which emphasizes that leveraging people’s capabilities and commitment is critical to achieving sustainable competitive advantage or superior public services. This is accomplished through a distinctive set of integrated employment policies, programs and practices, embedded in an organizational and societal context’ (Bratton & Gold 2012, p. 7).
•HRM ‘refers to the policies, practices and systems that influence employees’ behavior, attitudes and performance. Many companies refer to HRM as ‘people management’. To achieve effective outcomes in terms of individual and ultimately organizational performance, these practices need to be linked with the organizational goals, or organizational strategy’ (Kramar et al 2014, p. 6).
•Human resource management is a distinctive approach to employment management which seeks to achieve competitive advantage through the strategic deployment of a highly committed and capable workforce using an array of cultural, structural and personnel techniques (Storey 2007, p. 7).
• ‘Our conception of HRM covers the policies and practices used to organise work and to employ people. In other words, HRM encompasses the management of work and the management of people to do the work’ (Boxall & Purcell 2008, p. 3).
•Work policies/practices: way the work is organised (e.g. low-discretion jobs where supervisors exercise a high degree of control).
•Employment policies/practices: manner in which firms hire and manage people, including:
•management activities in recruiting, selecting, deploying, motivating, appraising, training, developing and retaining employees
•processes for informing, consulting and negotiating with individuals/groups
•disciplinary activities, contract termination and workforce downsizing.
Critical Issue 1: Globalization
Following the recent Global Financial Crisis and associated financial problems in the EU, what might HR professionals do, both strategically and operationally, to ensure that their organizations’ HRM systems and practices are fully transparent and accountable?
Critical Issue 2: The psychological contract
What do you think has changed in Gen X and Gen Y employees’ psychological expectations of their employers, and vice versa? What do HR professionals need to do to address these new expectations?
Critical Issue 5: HR ethics
Choose a current ethical issue in organisations (for example, bribery, corruption, discrimination or harassment) and discuss its implications for HRM policies and practices.
Critical Issue 1: Terminology
What are the key terms used in the modern organisation, and what signals do they send about the intended nature of the employment relationship?
Critical Issue 2: Responsibilities
