As mentioned in earlier, U.S. businesses will face a decrease in the available workforce due in part to a smaller generation of talented workers replacing retiring baby boomers. “Our study reveals that recruiters and hiring managers are not only cognizant of the issue but are concerned about its current and future impact on organizational growth,” said Dr. Jesse Harriott, former vice president of research at monster.com (http://www.monster.com), one of the leading global online career and recruitment resources. “Businesses of all sizes and across all industries must develop and implement creative programs and strategies to attract and hire top candidates while retaining and motivating current employees. As the talent pool shrinks, it is imperative that immediate action is taken to ensure businesses are properly prepared and staffed for the future.”

In a sampling of over 600 human resource managers, Monster’s survey showed that over 75 percent believe compensation is one of the top three motivators that prevent employees from leaving their job. The fact that money motivates top-performing employees is supported by almost half the human resources professionals surveyed for a Rewards Program and Incentive Compensation Survey released by the Society of Human Resource Management. The survey also found that neither monetary nor nonmonetary rewards were effective motivators for underperformers.

While compensation is clearly a significant issue, not all companies can offer this advantage. Other strategies that motivate employee loyalty and commitment are necessary. Some of these include making supervisors more accountable for worker retention, promoting work-life balance for employees, fostering a workplace where employee expectations are clearly articulated, creating learning and development programs that groom employees for future management roles, implementing performance-based systems that identify and proactively manage top employees and when possible promote from within, creating mentoring programs that match new employees with seasoned veterans, monitoring sentiment throughout the employee life cycle, and creating an employment brand “experience” that not only motivates and energizes employees but can also be used to attract new talent.

Diana Pohly, president, CEO, and owner of The Pohly Company, keeps vigilant watch over the morale of the office, ensuring that employees are satisfied. “Business owners of growing companies must possess strong leadership and management skills in order to solidify the foundation of their business,” said Pohly. “Effective team leadership is imperative to sustain efficient team workflows and contribute to employee morale.”

“Employees are the lifeblood of any organization. Building a positive work environment is an important strategy in attracting, retaining and motivating a team,” says Michelle Swanda, corporate marketing manager of The Principal. Improving employee morale with creative and effective management tactics ultimately boosts employee productivity, and that goes straight to the bottom line.

Critical Thinking Questions

1. How are social and economic factors influencing companies’ approach to hiring, motivating, and retaining employees?

Python:

You will modify the given code to create a guessing game that takes user input and allows you to make multiple guesses. There should also be a loop

Use the following attached Sample Code as a guide.

There are mistakes in the code!!!

#Guessing Game
import random
number=random.randint(1, another number)
print("Hello, CIS 101")
print("Let's play a guessing Game!called guess my number.")
print("The rules are: ")
print("I think of a number and you'll have to guess it.")
guess = random.randint(1, 5)
print("You will have " + str(guess) + " guesses.")
YourNumber = ???
unusedguesses=int(guess)
while unusedguesses < guess:
if int(YourNumber) == number:
print("YAY, You have guessed my number")
else:
unusedguesses=int(guess)-1
if unusedguesses == 0:
break
else:
print("Try again!")
print("The number was ", str(number))

1. Identify the specific diagnostic code for the disorder, and describe the etiology of the diagnosis for the case study.

***It is one case study that involves two co-occurring disorders ( One case study with two disorders). Both disorders present in one client. Please contact me should you have questions.***

***Students will select a specific mental health disorder and substance abuse disorder. Since this assignment involves distinguishing the co-occurring symptoms and treatment of two disorders, it must include one disruptive behavior disorder and one substance abuse disorder.****

The business idea is Spirulina.

Spirulina is a micro-algae and as such has been growing naturally in our environment for millions of years, it is a tough plant able to withstand harsh growing conditions, in fact the micro-algae cell never really dies it goes dormant when weather conditions are not favourable, and as soon as these change and the environment is once again suitable for growth, spirulina begins growing and reproducing again. Naturally growing spirulina can be found in high alkaline lakes and in general it is said that where flamingos are, spirulina is sure to be found.

Question:

Activity 10: Review
Comparison Operators
Comparison operators allow you to test whether values are equivalent or whether values are identical.


Conditional Code
Sometimes you only want to run a block of code under certain conditions. Flow control — via if and else blocks — lets you run code only under certain conditions.


Switch Statement
Rather than using a series of if/else if/else blocks, sometimes it can be useful to use a switch statement instead. [Definition:
Switch statements look at the value of a variable or expression, and run different blocks of code depending on the value.]





Loops
Loops let you run a block of code a certain number of times. Note that in Loops even though we use the keyword var before the variable name i, this does not “scope” the variable i to the loop block

For Loop
A for loop is made up of four statements and has the following structure:


The initialisation statement is executed only once, before the loop starts. It gives you an opportunity to prepare or declare any variables.
The conditional statement is executed before each iteration, and its return value decides whether or not the loop is to continue. If the conditional statement evaluates to a falsey value then the loop stops.
The iteration statement is executed at the end of each iteration and gives you an opportunity to change the state of important variables. Typically, this will involve incrementing or decrementing a counter and thus bringing the loop ever closer to its end.
The loopBody statement is what runs on every iteration. It can contain anything you want. You’ll typically have multiple statements that need to be executed and so will wrap them in a block ( {...}).

While Loop
A while loop is similar to an if statement, except that its body will keep executing until the condition evaluates to false.

An example for a while loop:




The do-while loop
This is almost exactly the same as the while loop, except for the fact that the loop’s body is executed at least once before the condition is tested.



An example for a do-while loop:



Functions
Functions contain blocks of code that need to be executed repeatedly. Functions can take zero or more arguments, and can optionally return a value.
Functions can be created in a variety of ways:

Function Declaration



Named Function Expression

A Simple Function
A Function Returns a Value


A Function that Returns another Function

A Self-executing Anonymous Function
A common pattern in JavaScript is the self-executing anonymous function. This pattern creates a function expression and then immediately executes the function. This pattern is extremely useful for cases where you want to avoid polluting the global namespace with your code — no variables declared inside of the function are visible outside of it.




Function as Arguments
In JavaScript, functions are “first-class citizens” — they can be assigned to variables or passed to other
functions as arguments. Passing functions as arguments is an extremely common idiom in jQuery.
• Passing an anonymous function as an argument


• Passing a named function as an argument

Hi!

I 'm writing a code for a doubly linked list and this is the header file

#include<iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

struct node
{
int data;
node *next,*prev;
node(int d,node *p=0,node *n=0)
{
data=d; prev=p; next=n;
}
};

class list
{
node *head,*tail;
public:
list();
bool is_empty();
int size();
void print();
void search();
int search2(int el);
void add_last(int el);
void add_first(int el);
bool add_pos();
bool delete_first();
bool delete_last();
void delete_pos(int pos);
void delete_el();
void add_sorted();
};

i want to write a function that split the list into 2 list from a specific number

ex. 5 4 7 2 8

if I spilt it from number 4 it will be 5 in the first list and 7 2 8 in the second list and number 4 will go to the List that contains fewer element so first list will have 5 4 and second list 7 2 8 if the have the same number of element the number that you were separated from it goes to any list it does not matter

Suppose we are interested in bidding on a piece of land and we know one other bidder is interested. The seller announced that the highest bid in excess of $10,000 will be accepted. Assume that the competitor's bid x is a random variable that is uniformly distributed between $10,000 and $15,400.

1. Suppose you bid $12,000. What is the probability that your bid will be accepted (to 2 decimals)?
   
2. Suppose you bid $14,000. What is the probability that your bid will be accepted (to 2 decimals)?
   
3. What amount should you bid to maximize the probability that you get the property (in dollars)?
   
4. Suppose that you know someone is willing to pay you $16,000 for the property. You are considering bidding the amount shown in part (c) but a friend suggests you bid $13,000. If your objective is to maximize the expected profit, what is your bid?
   Select Stay with your bid in part (c); it maximizes expected profit or Bid $13000 to maximize the expected profit
   
   What is the expected profit for this bid (in dollars)?

- For each student, we will keep track of his or her unique student ID, and his or her name and gender.

- For each organization, we will keep track of its unique organization ID and the location.

- Each student in the database belongs to at least one organization and can belong to multiple organizations.

- Each organization in the database has at least one student belonging to it and can have multiple students.

- For every instance of a student belonging to an organization, we will record the student's function in the organization (e.g., president, vice president, treasurer, member, etc.).

1. Wight Corporation has provided its contribution format income statement for June. The company produces and sells a single product.

If the company sells 9,700 units, its net operating income should be closest to:

• $57,000

• $55,573

• $58,500

• $55,000

2. Krepps Corporation produces a single product. Last year, Krepps manufactured 34,080 units and sold 28,200 units. Production costs for the year were as follows:

Sales totaled $1,494,600 for the year, variable selling and administrative expenses totaled $163,560, and fixed selling and administrative expenses totaled $224,928. There was no beginning inventory. Assume that direct labor is a variable cost.

Under absorption costing, the ending inventory for the year would be valued at:

• $264,040

• $194,040

• $221,540

• $255,540
