Problem 2

Write a function (call it by your first name e.g. abc_trim) that takes a list as argument , modifies it by removing the first and last two elements, and returns the new modified list e.g. if we call the function as katline_trim([1,4,6,8,11, 15]), we should get [4,6,8]. (Hint: Look at how we refer to list elements by their index and also how we use a negative number as index. You can also use a loop with the len() method

NB: Include python code, please. use spider

The New Hotel Of Marseille has 2 different meeting rooms named Honorine and Zoe. In Honorine, there is a meeting for a pharmaceutical company while in Zoe there is a meeting for an insurance company. The reception team was well informed about the pharmaceutical meeting but not the insurance’s, every time a person asks the reception for the meeting location, they were immediately sent to Honorine. Two of the participants came back to the front desk and they were very upset about being sent to the wrong place, when asking about why they were not sent to the correct meeting, the receptionist politely replied and informed them that based on the information he had, there is only one meeting at the hotel today, but the guests insisted that their company organized a meeting at the hotel, so the reception showed his understanding and apologized about the misunderstanding and immediately called the sales department who confirmed that there are two different meetings.

Questions: Question 1: What is the reason behind this situation? Why? (35 pts.)

Question 2: Who is responsible for avoiding such misunderstandings in the future? How? (35 pts.)

Question 3: How would you evaluate the service delivered by the front office team? (30 pts.)

Provide three examples of team building activities and list advantages and disadvantages of each.

For each question please give:

a. a definition of the term; and

b. discuss how the concept assists us in understanding the changing nature of work and/or employment

a) Decent work - the concept used by UN’s International Labour Organisation (ILO)

The Web has grown exponentially since its early days. Why?

Please write at least 150 words.

Given an ideal steam regenerative cycle in which steam enters the turbine at 3.0 MPa, 400 oC, and exhausts to the condenser at 10 kPa. Steam is extracted from the turbine at 0.8 MPa for an open feedwater heater. The feedwater leaves the heater as saturated liquid. The net power is 45 MW. Assume any missing data. Draw a neat sketch for the cycle flow diagram showing all states

. Draw the T-s diagram.

Calculate the thermal efficiency of the cycle.

Calculate the steam mass flow rate (in kg/s).

Calculate the total power to the two pumps.

Calculate the mass flow rate of the cooling water in the condenser if its temperature rise is 9 oC.

In the assignment below please fix the errors in each code. The first code should have a total of 3 erros. The second and third code should have 4 errors. Thanks

Name three to five requirements you, as a project manager would have, for a project management information system. Defend the value of your requirements.

Dell
In January 2006, Dell, the world’s largest computer maker, announced plans to setup its fourth call center in India. The company already employs over 10,000 people in its Indian call centers, which provided a telephone help desk service to its many thousands of customers around the world. Like many other Western companies, Dell was attracted to India by the abundance of low-cost English-speaking workers, many of whom are well qualified and highly IT literate. Locating call centers in India sounds like a good deal all round. Customers get access 24 hours a day, 7 days a week wherever they are in the world, companies are able to reduce costs, and workers in a developing country get jobs.
However, not everyone is happy. Niels Kjellerup, Publisher and Editor of The Call Centre Managers Forum, an online chat room for call center managers, argues that the rush to outsource customer contact operations to cheaper locations has resulted in the worst of management practices in US and UK call centers being exported as ‘World Class Call Centre Practice’ in countries like India. He says that too often what is seen in India is bad customer service delivered cheaply. He claims that many Indian call centers are run as sweatshops with intelligent people being treated like cattle. Call center managers with little or no previous experience adopt ‘idiotic vendor measures’ such as ‘how many calls’ and ‘how short’, which simply result in the delivery of poor levels of customer service.
Agents are required to work nine and a half hours a day, but typically work anywhere from 12 to 16 hours. Processing 28 calls an hour is mandatory. Another target is to ensure that no customer calls back within seven days. The informant claimed that there are few, if any allowances for time off, even for doctor visits, sick days or handling family emergencies.

Write a JAVA program in eclipse (write comment in every line) that asks the user to enter two numbers and an operator (+, -, *, / or %), obtain them from the user and prints their sum, product, difference, quotient or remainder depending on the operator. You need to use OOP techniques (objects, classes, methods….). This program must be place in a loop that runs 3 times.

How can I get the days to print in order (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday etc)

def summarize_by_weekday(expense_list):
"""
Requirement 3 to display the total amount of money spent on each weekday, aggregated per day.
That is, display “Monday: $35”, “Tuesday: $54”, etc., where $35 is the sum of dollar amounts for a
ll Mondays present in the data file, $54 is the sum of dollar amounts for all Tuesdays present in the data file,
and so on.
:param expense_list:
:return: None
"""
  weekday_spent_dict={}
for expense in expense_list:
if weekday_spent_dict.get(expense[0])==None:
weekday_spent_dict[expense[0]]=expense[1]
else:
weekday_spent_dict[expense[0]] += expense[1]
for day in sorted(weekday_spent_dict.keys()):

output is:
