What Would You Do?
Three people applied to you for an opening as a lathe operator. One is totally unqualified. One is experienced, but has a poor attitude. The third lacks experience, but seems especially eager for the job; you think she would be a good worker if she had more experience, but you’re not sure. You have some rush work you need to get out. Which of the following courses would you choose?
1. If the eager applicant has good references, hire her for a probationary period. But keep looking for a more qualified person in case she doesn’t work out.
2. Pass up the three applicants. Keep looking.
3. Hire the experienced person, ignoring his attitude—you’ve got work to get out!
Question 1: Say what you would do and why you would choose that option.

PowerPoint Chapter 4 Hands-On Exercise Assessment – Photograph

Project Description:

You are developing a presentation to showcase your photography. The presentation should engage the audience and compel them to purchase your works. You use several techniques to manipulate shapes and pictures and enhance the overall appeal of the presentation with animation and transitions.

Start PowerPoint. Download and   open the file named Exp19_PPT_Ch04_HOEAssessment_Photograph.pptx.   Grader has automatically added your last name to the beginning of the   filename.

Click Slide 1 and change the   subtitle Student Name to Carl Peterson.

Although SmartArt conveniently   groups all shapes together within a SmartArt graphic, you want to work with   the shapes in this graphic individually. You can use the Convert to Shapes   command to help you do this.
 

  Convert the SmartArt on Slide 3 to shapes and ungroup the shapes. Remove the   two-headed arrow at the base of the rectangles.

Now that this is no longer a   SmartArt graphic, you can format each shape individually to display three   differently colored rectangles.
 

  Change the fill color of the Closeups rectangle to Blue-Gray, Accent 1,   Lighter 40%. Change the Landscapes rectangle to Blue-Gray, Accent 1, Darker   25%. Ensure that the Animals rectangle is set to Blue-Gray, Accent 1.

By default, two guides display   onscreen that intersect in the middle of the slide. You can add more guides   to help align objects away from the center of the slide and to break the   slide into even spaced horizontal and vertical thirds.
 

  Click Slide 4 and display the Rulers and Guides. Move the vertical guide to   the right until 2.25 displays. Right-click the vertical guide and click Add   Vertical Guide. Drag the new vertical guide to the left of 0 until 2.25   displays. Move the horizontal guide up until 1.25 displays. Right-click the   horizontal guide and click Add Horizontal Guide. Drag the new horizontal   guide down below 0 to 1.25.

Now that the slide is broken   into thirds, you can place the images according to the Rules of Thirds design   placement principle. This produces an overall balanced look to the slide.   Guides can easily be removed from the slide after using them for placement.
 

  Drag the barn picture so that the bottom edge of the picture is aligned with   the lower guideline and the left edge is positioned at the 0.5” mark on the   ruler. Drag the moon picture so that the bottom edge of the picture is   aligned with the lower guideline and using the Smart Guides ensure the images   are evenly spaced. Deselect the Guides check box. 

PowerPoint provides gridlines   which are more numerous to allow for refined placement of objects. You use   these to place the smaller objects – the ribbons.
 

  Drag the Old Barn ribbon so that the left edge is positioned along the   gridline that is set 2” to the right of the 0” on the horizontal ruler. The   bottom edge should be positioned along the gridline that is set 3” below the   0” on the vertical ruler. Drag the Full Moon ribbon so that the left edge is   positioned along the gridline that is set 5” to the left of the 0” on the   horizontal ruler. The bottom edge should be positioned along the gridline   that is set 3” below the 0” on the vertical ruler.

You can use the Selection Pane   to help control the stacking order of objects on a slide or to display or   delete objects and images.
 

  Click Slide 5 and open the Selection Pane. Hide Heart 6, Heart 7, and Heart   8. Delete the flower and shell pictures. Display Heart 6, Heart 7, and Heart   8. Bring the violin picture to the front.

The three remaining shapes are   not yet grouped so you can use the automatically appearing Smart Guides to   help you position each of the shapes. Once they are in the correct position,   you can group the objects so they won’t slip out of alignment with each   other.
 

  Align middle the three shapes. Drag Heart 8 next to the text box. Drag Heart   7 to the right edge of the slide. Position Heart 6 evenly between Hearts 7   and 8. Group the three shapes. Close the Selection Pane.

You want to add a few more   examples of your photography to your presentation. You decide a cute dog will   evoke emotion in your audience, so you add a new slide and title.
 

Insert a new Slide 6   with Title and Content layout. Type Beautiful   animals in the title placeholder. 

To make the image of the dog   more impactful, you modify the image size and remove the image background to   make the dog really stands out on the slide.
 

  Insert Photo1.jpg in the right   content placeholder. Size the picture to a height of 6” and a width of 9”. Position it horizontally at 5.87” from Top Left Corner and   vertically 0.75” from the Top Left Corner. Remove the background but ensure both   ears are kept and that the dog’s body extends down to match the title   placeholder’s bottom edge.

Insert a new Slide 7 with Title   and Content layout. Type Abstract florals in the title placeholder. 

After adding another new slide   and title, you insert a floral image. While the flowers are pretty, you want   to show how a familiar object can take on an entirely new look by formatting   the image. Then you compress all the images to reduce the overall file size   of the presentation.
 

  Insert Photo2.jpg in the right   content placeholder. Deselect Lock aspect ratio and size the picture to a   height of 5.8” and a width of 8.4”. Position it horizontally at 4.3” from Top Left Corner and vertically 0.84” from the Top Left Corner. Set   the color Tone to Temperature: 4700K and Corrections to Brightness: 0%   (Normal) Contrast -20%. Apply the Cutout artistic effect. Compress all   pictures in the presentation using the On-screen (150 ppi) setting.

As another example of your   photographic skill and creativity, you use a landscape image as a background   for a slide.
 

  Click Slide 8 and add Photo3.jpg as   the background. Adjust transparency to 50%.

After adjusting the transparency   of the image, you show how a small amount of text can be used to create a   slide that conveys a breath-taking message.
 

  Size the width of the text box on Slide 8 to 13.33” and align it center and bottom. Set the fill to   Black, Background 1, Lighter 5%. Change the font to White, Text 1.

Convert the SmartArt on Slide 9   to shapes. Ungroup all bulleted shapes, rectangles, and arrows.

By adding animation, you can   show what happens when a client hires you to do photographic work for them.   You start with the client’s role in the process to show that this is a   customer-driven process.
 

  Select the first bulleted shape and apply the Fade animation. Set it to start   After Previous with a Duration of 01.00 and Delay of 00.50. Use the Animation Painter to format all remaining shapes,   rectangles, and bullets.

You continue to use animation to   reveal your role in the process and the expected outcome.
 

  Use the Animation Pane to make Shape 5 (first arrow) display after the first   bulleted shape and blue rectangle. Make Arrow Circular 8 (second arrow)   display after the second bulleted shape and blue rectangle. Close the   Animation Pane.

A Morph transition can be used   to illustrate how photographs can bring you joy and preserve memories. You   begin with slide showing an image of the earth and a woman’s outstretched   hand.
 

  Duplicate Slide 10. In the new Slide 11, replace the title with Bring the   world to you

Adding a Morph transition makes   a seamless and entertaining way to make your point.
 

  Position the earth image horizontally at 8.05” from Top Left Corner and vertically at 3.71” from Top Left Corner. Apply   Morph transition for Slide 11. Set the Duration to 03.00 and set it to advance after 00:02.00.

You add a trigger to the title   of the slide so that an image of a woman displays as the center of the daisy.   Her smile and hand gestures indicate she is a happy customer and that your   audience will be equally pleased with your photographs.
 

  Apply the Fade animation to the client picture on Slide 2. Set a trigger On   Click of for Title 17.

Because you will show this   presentation to several different audiences, you may not always want to   present the slides sequentially. You can add a Summary Zoom slide to quickly   move between different sections in the presentation based on that audience’s   needs.
 

  Create a Summary Zoom using Slides 1 and 8. Type Nature’s Beauty in the title placeholder of the   new Slide 1.

Save and close Exp19_PPT_Ch04_HOEAssessment_Photograph.pptx.   Exit PowerPoint. Submit the file as directed.

This week’s discussion board has 2 parts, complete both parts.

Click on the link below to see an example of calculating opportunity cost. 

Opportunity cost arises when you have scarce resources and you are forced to make a choice amongst various competing alternatives. In the example, the scarce resource is time so the individual has to choose between the 2 jobs.  

Formulate your own example that shows what opportunity cost is and go ahead and calculate your opportunity cost. 

In your example state what your scarce resource is and show what was the next best alternative then calculate the opportunity cost. 

Hint: opportunity cost arises in numerous decisions that we make including; going to college, going for a doctors appointment, making a purchase (like buying a car or anything else) etc.

#Excel_2G_Condiments_Inventory

Project Description:

#In the following project, you will edit a worksheet that summarizes the inventory of Condiments and Toppings at the Valley View facility 

#Open   the Excel workbook Student_Excel_2G_Condiments_Inventory.xlsx   downloaded with   this project.

#Change the Theme to Ion. Rename   Sheet1 as Condiments and Sheet2 as Toppings. Click the Condiments sheet tab   to make it the active sheet.
 

  #If the theme is not available, click Browse for Themes, navigate to the files   you downloaded with this project, and then select Ion.thmx.

#To the right of column B, insert   two new columns to create new blank columns C and D. By using Flash Fill in   the two new columns, split the data in column B into a column for Item # in   column C and Category in column D. Type Item # as the column title in column C and Category as the column title in column   D. Delete column B. Cut column C, Category,   and paste it to column G. Delete the empty column C.  

#Display the Toppings worksheet,   and then repeat Step 3 on this worksheet.

#Without grouping the sheets,   make the following calculations in both worksheets:
  • In cell B4, enter a function to sum the Quantity in Stock data, and then   apply Comma Style with zero decimal places to the result.
  • In cells B5:B8, enter formulas to calculate the Average, Median, Lowest,   and Highest retail prices, and then apply the Accounting Number Format.

#Without grouping the sheets,   make the following calculations in both worksheets:
  • In cell B10, enter a COUNTIF function to determine how many different types   of Relish are in stock on the Condiments   sheet and how many different types of Salsa are in stock on the Toppings worksheet.

#Without grouping the sheets,   make the following calculations in both worksheets:
  • In cell G14 type Stock Level.
  • In cell G15, enter an IF function to determine the items that must be   ordered. If the Quantity in Stock is less than 75, the Value_if_true is Order. Otherwise, the Value_if_false is OK. Fill the formula down through   all the rows.

#Without grouping the sheets,   apply the following formatting in both worksheets:
  • Apply Conditional Formatting to the Stock Level column so that Text that   Contains the text Order are formatted with Bold Italic, a Font Color using in the fifth   column, the first color, and a Fill color set to No Color. Apply Gradient   Fill Red Data Bars to the Quantity in Stock column.

#In the Condiments sheet, format   the range A14:G42 as a table with headers and apply Sky Blue, Table Style   Light 20. If the table style is not available, choose a similar style. Insert   a Total Row, filter by Category for Relish, and then Sum the Quantity in   Stock column. Record the result in cell B11.

#Clear the filter from the table.   Sort the table on the Item # column from Smallest to Largest, and then remove   the Total Row. On the Page Layout tab, set Print Titles so that row 14   repeats at the top of each page.

In the Toppings sheet, format   the range A14:G42 as a table with headers and apply Light Green, Table Style   Light 19. If the table style is not available, choose a similar style. Insert   a Total Row, filter by Category for Salsa, and then Sum the Quantity in Stock   column. Record the result in cell B11.

#Clear the filter from the table.   Sort the table on the Item # column from Smallest to Largest, and then remove   the Total Row. On the Page Layout tab, set Print Titles so that row 14   repeats at the top of each page, and then save your workbook.

#Group the two worksheets. Merge   and center the title in cell A1 across the range A1:G1 and apply the Title   cell style. Merge and center the subtitle in cell A2 across the range A2:G2   and apply the Heading 1 cell style. AutoFit Columns A:G. Center the   worksheets Horizontally, and then change the Orientation to Landscape.

#Save your workbook and then   ungroup the sheets. Click the Toppings sheet tab, and then insert a new   worksheet. Change the sheet name to Summary and then widen columns A:D to 170 pixels.   Move the Summary sheet so that it is the first sheet in the workbook.

#In cell A1, type Valley View   Inventory Summary.   Merge & Center the title across the range A1:D1, and then apply the Title   cell style. In cell A2, type As of June 30 and then Merge & Center the text across the   range A2:D2. Apply the Heading 1 cell style.

#On the Condiments sheet, copy   the range A4:A8. Display the Summary sheet and Paste the selection to cell   A5. Apply the Heading 4 cell style to the selection.

#In the Summary sheet, in cell   B4, type Condiments. In cell C4, type Toppings. In cell D4, type Condiments/Toppings. Center the column titles, and   then apply the Heading 3 cell style.

#In cell B5, enter a formula that   references cell B4 in the Condiments sheet so that the Condiments Total Items   in Stock displays in B5. Create similar formulas to enter the Average Price,   Median Price, Lowest Price, and Highest Price from the Condiments sheet into   the Summary sheet in the range B6:B9.

#Enter formulas in the range   C5:C9 that reference the Total Items in Stock and the Average Price, Median   Price, Lowest Price, and Highest Price cells in the Toppings worksheet.

#In the range D5:D9 of the   Summary sheet, insert Column sparklines using the values in the Condiments   and Toppings columns (insert in each cell individually). Format the   sparklines using the first five styles in the first row in their given order.   To apply the Sparkline style, on the Design tab, in the Style group, click   More, and apply the first five styles in the first row.

#To the range B5:C5, apply Comma   Style with zero decimal places, and confirm that the Accounting Number Format   is applied to the range B6:C9. Center the Summary worksheet Horizontally and   change the Orientation to Landscape. Insert a custom footer in the left   section with the file name.

 Project 6: Global Approaches to Cybersecurity
Step 8: Create Regional Fact Sheet on Identification and Implication of Cybersecurity Threats

To illustrate the impact of cybersecurity threats, develop a one-page fact sheet using one of the regions from your matrix. Explain the cybersecurity threat experienced in one region, the evolution of the associated malware, the implications (e.g., economic, political, national security, etc.) of it to that region and how global cybersecurity policies might be used to counter the effects.

You will discuss six specific characteristics (purpose, size, attack method, attribution, etc.) of the malware and describe how these characteristics have emerged, changed, or evolved over the past five to 10 years. Also discuss what contributing factors may cause these characteristics to change, and how these characteristics may change over the next 10 years. How might these technologies be countered by global cybersecurity policy controls (do not describe technology controls) in the future? Support your position with policy, security practice, theories, principles, and recommendations based on your own thoughts, examples, and cited references.
