Sc300 Unit 1
Scenario: You are getting ready to log in to your favorite Devry University Course, SC300 – Big Ideas in Science, and your computer will not turn on. Now what?!

Why won’t my computer turn on? As I am trying to log into my seminar for my SC300 the power wont turn on and I need to figure out why. After doing some research on-line at website http://pcsupport.about.com/od/findbysymptom/tp/computer-wont-turn-on.htm I was able to find some trouble-shooting tips and typical reasons why computers normally don’t turn on. After reading the different option posted I have come up with two different hypothesis to why my computer wont turn on.

1. The power cord isn’t properly plugged into the power source.
2. My power is off.
I plan to test my hypothesis of my power being off by checking to see if any of my other electronic devices are having the same problem or if I can turn a light on in my house. I am able to turn on lights in the house and I am also able to power on my TV so that hypothesis is incorrect. My other hypothesis is that the power cord isn’t plugged into the power source. I will test this hypothesis by checking to make sure that my power cord is plugged into my power surge correctly as well as making sure that the power cord is properly plugged into the modem. After checking the power cord I was able to prove this hypothesis correct because the power cord wasn’t plugged into the power surge strip at all, which is why the computer wouldn’t power on. I have come to the conclusion that due to the fact that my computer wasn’t plugged into the power outlet correctly is the reason why I couldn’t power on my computer in order to log into my favorite KU Course

    If the project is completed on time then there is no risk for completion. All of the regular risks that apply to a project built on time apply to this one regardless of whether you are building a new infrastructure or modifying an older one. If the project is finished one month early, the quantitative risk really does not exist. It is basically comparable to completing the project on time. Since the project is quoted at 3 million dollars it will stay the same regardless of how fast the project is finished. However, you may see differences. When you rush a project this large you could possibly cut corners or receive poor quality results. If the project is finished two months late there are additional risks. If the company expects to make $20 million dollars annually, and assuming that the 4% penalty is levied against this yearly figure and not within smaller period of time, one month late means that US Industries Incorporated loses $800,000 annually. There doesn't appear to be any additional risk, however, further penalties and the possible eventual loss of the contract to a competitor could result in a poor product. There again appears to be no real quantitative risk involved if the project is finished a month early with the security requirements. If the originally quoted $3 million dollars remains the same regardless of how fast the project is finished and not coupled with hourly or daily wages, then there is nothing to lose financially. However the companies go beyond the required 1.5% completion benchmarks that the contract demands. Rushing a project of this scale also comes with rushed results possibly cut corners or poor quality. The credibility of the company is at stake with such a high profile, high income project such as this, and it is important to use all of the time available to ensure the best product is on display for any customer. The finished project should meet both the time and security requirements but not the service agreement. There does not…

    My first idea was to create a dashboard that was focused mainly Xeno Sales overall profit. This was a simple dashboard which was to show the user exactly how much profit or loss the Xeno Sales Company has for the year on a monthly basis. This dashboard would only have a couple of graphs that displayed the monthly profits throughout the year so the user can distinguish trends or trouble months. My second idea is a dashboard which focused on both Xeno Sales overall profit and the individual stores and their corresponding areas sales and expenditures. This is a complex dashboard which would provide the user with everything they would want to know as far as profit margins are concerned. This dashboard would consist of customizable graphs which can display the monthly sales, expenditures, the overall profit, the expected profit, and the average profit growth.…

    The global recession began shortly after the September 2011 crisis, and quickly claimed many victims to unemployment. This financial and economic crisis triggered output contractions in almost all industrialized economies in the year 2009. As businesses cut production in response to lower demands, workers were let go in large numbers, increasing the unemployment rates dramatically. Aside from job losses the quality of employment also deteriorated. Many employees who did not lose their jobs were forced to work above the level previously expected at the same or lower pay. The increase in job insecurity due to the recession resulted in employers having the upper hand, while employees were subject to deteriorating working conditions; however fear of job loss created an environment where employees did not defend their rights. Many organizations were forced to lay off employees due to the economic downturn, however despite economic times many individual business decisions were made that can explain the deterioration of the workplace aside from the necessity of layoffs. While the economy struggled there still were seen large leaps in the finances of large organizations due to the reduction of labor costs rather than rise in production. Some businesses have chosen profit over people; in a time where jobs are tight the organizations are taking advantage of individuals willing to put in extra labor in order to keep a job, therefore reducing employee numbers without reducing production levels.…
