To what extent have you built your own brand? Is this something that you have ever considered before?

Networking has the potential to open doors and create possibilities for jobs and partnerships. Networking establishes connections between individuals and access to information that one might not normally have access to. Reaching out to strangers can be an intimidating and nerve-racking experience. In business, the more central you are, the more power you have. Creating connections and ties to other people affords you the opportunity for power and the ability to more closely control your future, so while at times networking might feel awkward and uncomfortable, it is a necessary and important part of establishing and maintaining a career.

Online social networking sites play an important role in this networking process for individuals both professionally and personally. With 1,200 employees in 2010, Facebook has 350 million users around the world, and LinkedIn has over 60 million members in over 200 countries. A new member joins LinkedIn every second, and about half of the members are outside the United States. These online sites have created new opportunities for networking and allow individuals to branch out beyond their normal world of industry, school, and business. The key is to avoid costly missteps as employers have begun to search online for information about prospective and current employees. In 2009, 8% of companies reported that they had fired an employee for misuse of social media.

Many of these online sites have become a tool for business. For example, LinkedIn targets working professionals and provides them a way to maintain lists of business connections and to use those connections to gain introduction to people using mutual contacts. Unlike other social networking sites, LinkedIn is almost entirely used by professionals. The power of social networking flows in both directions. Employers can screen applicants through their online accounts and recruiters more than ever are using these sites to view background information, individual skill sets, and employment history, which can be cross-referenced with submitted applications. Job seekers can review the profiles of those at top management firms and search for mutual contacts. LinkedIn also provides statistics about firms, which can be useful information for individuals looking at potential employers.

Networking is about building your brand and managing relationships. Using social networks as a vehicle to market one’s self and make professional connections is becoming increasingly common, as well as using loose ties or connections through others to open doors and land jobs. In an increasingly high-tech and digital world, it is important to be aware and conscience of the digital footprint that we create. But with careful cultivation these online networks can present many opportunities.

ANSWER USING R CODE

Using the dataset 'LakeHuron' which is a built in R dataset describing the level in feet of Lake Huron from 1872- 1972. To assign the values into an ordinary vector,x, we can do the following 'x <- as.vector(LakeHuron)'. From there, we can access the data easily. Assume the values in X are a random sample from a normal population with distribution X. Also assume the X has an unknown mean and unknown standard deviation. With this information in mind, answer the following.

a) The sample mean of x

b) the sample mean of 8X

c) Using this data, create a 97% confidence interval for X using the a t-distribution critical value tstar.

d) Using this data, create a 3 percent level test of H0:mu = 578.9 versus the alternative Ha:mu > 578.9. USing tis information, calculate the value of the z-statistic

e) With the z-statistic, calculate the appropriate p-value.

1. Analyze an actual project recently built in your area. Identify the major activities that occurred in each of the project phases and who accomplished them. Develop a flowchart or network diagram and present it to your class.

2. Class members should each examine a different local project and determine the following: • Project cost per square foot • Economic Life • Design-construction time • Income in dollars per square foot • Compare the viability of different project types at different interest rates.

A room with inside dimensions of 5x7m is built from block 30x30x30 cm,
using cement sand mortar 1:2.5, the wall thickness is 30 cm.
The room wall height above the footing concrete is 5 m. The room has a
door of size 1.5x2m and a window 3x2m. The room is covered with a slab of
15 cm thick which has a 20 cm extension beyond the outside wall edges all
around. The slab is reinforced with 10 mm bars at 15 cm c/c in both
directions, one bar straight and one bar bent. Estimate:
1. Amount of steel needed for the slab in the short direction only.
2. Amount of blocks needed for construction.

Hello,

Looking to compare!

Thanks,

Budgeted fixed costs for the year were $1,000,000. Actual fixed costs for th year were $1,100,000.

Variable costs were budgeted as $10 per kilowatt-hour. The actual total variable costs were
$2,200,000.

1. Calculate the amount of power costs that would be allocated to each o the three locations using
a single rate based on budgeted costs.
2. Calculate the amount of power costs that would be allocated to each o the three locations using
a dual rate method based on budgeted costs for fixed and actual costs for variable.

An 8-bit A/D Converter on a chip using 0.18um technology with a Vdd=1.8V is built using minimum size transistors (l=0.18um and w=0.36um). It has 22 transistors per bit in conversion and 128 transistors used for memory. The activity factor in the conversion modules is 0.1, while the activity factor in the memory blocks is 0.02. Assume each transistor contributes 3fF/um of gate capacitance and 0.24fF/um of diffusion capacitance. Estimate the switching power without capacitance when operating at 1MHz.

Looking Sharp’s new workshop has been only partially built, due to a dispute with the builder. Scaffolding has been left on the frame, and there are building materials scattered about the building site.
The building site is next to a school oval, and school children have often been seen entering the building site and climbing up and playing on the scaffolding. Emily and Rachel (owner of looking sharp) have become aware of this, and have warned the school. However, the school principal has said it is not the school’s problem, as the children are playing there after school hours, and has advised Emily and Rachel to fence the building site. Emily and Rachel look into hiring a metal fence to enclose the building site, but it comes at a cost of $500 per week, so they have not yet hired it.
One day, a few students climb up the scaffolding, and one student falls from the top of the scaffolding and is injured.

Q: Advise Looking Sharp of its liability under tort law.

Prior to the financial recession in the late 2000s, some companies had built up significant cash balances. By 2010, discussions began about whether “cash hoarding” by firms was an appropriate activity or if it was hurting the economic recovery. Research this issue and answer the following questions:

• What are the advantages of having a large cash balance? Please describe and provide examples.
• What are the disadvantages of having a large cash balance? Please describe and provide examples.
• Research a publicly traded company that holds a sizable amounts of cash and liquid investments on their balance sheets. Describe the company, the balance and how that balance has varied over the past three years.

Write a program that dynamically allocates a built-in array large enough to hold a user-defined number of test scores. (Ask the user how many grades will be entered and use a dynamic array to store the numbers.) Once all the scores are entered, the array should be passed to a function that calculates the average score. The program should display the scores and average. Use pointer notation rather than array notation whenever possible. (Input Validation: Do not accept negative numbers for test scores.) Make it a class, call it something like gradeholder. You will need a destructor because you are using dynamic arrays.

please help!! this is C++ programming fundamental 2 and this is visual studio, thank you!
