Find and submit ten (10) Web sites related to ONE instrument you'd like to research. You may choose from any of the instruments featured in the course. Examples of valid instruments include (but are not limited to): the oboe, the mezzo-soprano voice, and the guitar.

Your submission must include:

Two sites for each one of the categories listed below

A short paragraph presenting your research in each category

The categories are:

History and/or Manufacturers:
Information about well-known makers and the instrument's history. If you choose the voice as your instrument, concentrate on its history.

Two Famous Performers for your Instrument:
Do not restrict yourself to any particular period or style. For example, if your favorite instrument is guitar, you may choose Eric Clapton and John Williams.

Two Famous composers for your Instrument:
Again, do not restrict yourself to any particular period or style. An example of a relevant web site is the Leonard Bernstein site at the Library of Congress. Did Bernstein write any pieces for your favorite instrument?

Six Repertoire Pieces for your Instrument and their Composers' Names:
What are the most famous pieces written for your chosen instrument? Submit a list of six famous pieces written for the instrument, and two (2) sites that were sources for the information. Here's a site that might help: www.naxos.com.

Two Famous Symphony Orchestras:
Your favorite instrument will likely be part of a traditional symphony orchestra, such as the one you studied in the Orchestral Timbres class. This should not be confused with a piece of music called a symphony, or a concerto, which is a piece of music for a solo instrument and orchestra. I am looking for the performing group. Please submit and comment on two (2) symphony orchestra websites. Even if the instrument you choose is not a regular member of the symphony orchestra, search two symphony orchestra websites and include what you find in your report.

The best IT support technicians are the ones who continually teach themselves new skills. You can teach yourself to use and support Windows by using the web, a couple of apps in Windows 10 called Get Help and Tips, or the Windows Help and Support utility in Windows 8/7. To start the apps in Windows 10, type get help in the search box or type tips in the search box. In Windows 8, type Help and Support on the Start screen. In Windows 7, click Start and then click Help and Support. If you are connected to the Internet, clicking links can take you to the Microsoft website, where you can find information and watch videos about Windows.

Do the following to research a topic so you can become an independent learner about Windows:

1. The Windows 10/8/7 Snipping Tool can help you take screenshots of the Windows desktop. These screenshots are useful when documenting computer problems and solutions. Use Get Help or Windows Help and Support to find out how to use the Snipping Tool. Use it to take a screenshot of your Windows desktop. Save the screenshot into a file on a USB flash drive or on the hard drive. Print the file contents.

2. Access the support.microsoft.com website for Windows support. Save or print one article from the Knowledge Base that addresses a problem when installing Windows 10/8/7.

3. Search the web to learn the purpose of the pagefile.sys file. What website did you use to find your answer? Why is the Microsoft website considered the best source for information about the page file sys file?

In Real Problem 10-1, you installed VirtualBox and created a VM. In this project, you install Ubuntu Desktop, a popular Linux distro (short for distribution). Complete the following steps:

a. Go to ubuntu.com and download the Ubuntu Desktop OS to your hard drive. This is a free download, so you can decline to make any donations. The file that downloads is an ISO file. Ubuntu is a well-known version of Linux that offers both desktop and server editions.

b. Open VirtualBox. Select the VM and click Settings. In the VM’s Settings box, click Storage in the left pane. In the Storage Devices area, to the right of Controller: SATA, click the Adds optical drive icon, which looks like a disc with a green (+) symbol on it, as shown in Figure 10-59.

c. A dialog box appears. Click Choose Disk. Browse to the location of the ISO file that contains the Ubuntu desktop operating system setup files. Select the ISO file, click Open and then click OK. You will return to the Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager window.

d. With the VM selected, click Start on the toolbar. Your VM starts up and begins the process of installing the operating system. Click Install Ubuntu. Follow the prompts and accept all default settings. If given the option, don’t install any extra software bundled with the OS. You’ll need to restart the VM when the installation is finished. When prompted to remove the installation media, press Enter because the ISO file was automatically removed already.

e. In the welcome windows, read about Ubuntu and skip the Livepatch setup. Install any OS updates offered. Monitor the update by clicking the Software Updater app in the dock and restart when it’s ready. To verify that you have an Internet connection, open the Mozilla Firefox browser and surf the web.

f. Good IT technicians must know how to use many operating systems. Poke around in the Ubuntu desktop interface to get familiar with it. You can also search the web for tutorials videos on how to use Ubuntu Desktop. How do you open the Settings app to change settings in the OS, such as background-image, notifications, privacy, and network connections?

g. When you’re ready to shut down your VM, click the power icon in the upper-right corner of your screen, click the next power icon and click Power Off in the menu that appears. As with physical computers, it’s important to properly shut down the VM correctly to prevent the corruption of its OS and other files.

The cylinder in the figure(Figure 1) has a moveable piston attached to a spring. The cylinder's cross-section area is 10 cm2, it contains 0.0040mol of gas, and the spring constant is 1500 N/m. At 19 degreesC the spring is neither compressed nor stretched.

How far is the spring compressed if the gas temperature is raised to 200 degrees C ?

Part 1.
   Create a class called Loan.  An instance of the class can be used to calculate
   information about a bank loan.  
   
   The class should have the following methods:
   
   a. A constructor  that is passed the amount being borrowed, the annual interest
      rate and the number of years for repayment.
      
   b. A default constructor that initializes the amount being borrowed, the annual 
      interest rate and the number of years for repayment to 0.
      
   c. "get" methods (accessors) for the loan amount, the annual interest rate and the 
       number of years for repayment.
   
   d. "set" methods (mutators) for the loan amount, the annual interest rate and the 
      number of years for repayment.
   
   e. A method that calculates and returns the amount of the monthly payment for
      the loan.
      The monthly payment on a loan can be calculated using the following formula:


                             loanAmount * R
      monthly payment =     --------------------
                                        -N
                           1 -  (1 + R )
                        
      R = monthly rate of interest for the loan
      N = number of months to repay the loan
      
   
   
   f. A method that returns the sum of all payments needed to repay the loan.
   
   g. A method that returns the sum of all interest paid on the loan.
   
   
Part 2.   
   Write an application that tests the Loan class.  The program should allow the user to
   create a loan, enter information about the loan and make changes to the amount of
   the loan, the interest rate, and the number of years to repay the loan.
