Obtain the daily price data over the past five years for three different stocks. Data can be obtained from the Internet by using the following keywords: stock price data, return data, company data, and stock returns. Create trend-moving averages with the following values form: 10, 100, and 200. Graph the data with Excel. Create centered-moving averages with the following values form: 10, 100, and 200. Graph the data with Excel. How do the moving averages for the same values of m compare between a trend-moving average and a centered-moving average? Explain how these moving averages can assist a stock analyst in determining the stocks’ price direction. Provide a detailed explanation with justifications. Submit your answers in an eight- to ten-page Word document and in an Excel sheet.

The greatest value in a course such as VoIP Telephony comes from applying the concepts, theories, applications, and devices explored throughout the class. This project gives you an opportunity to select a topic in which you are interested and apply concepts and applications from readings, exercises, current devices, and class discussions. The course project allows you to apply the tools from the course to assess a problem, diagnose its sources, and recommend a course of action. In developing the project, assume that your manager has requested a thorough analysis and a recommended course of action for a problem that could be resolved by a VoIP application. Some examples are a deployment plan for a VoIP solution, recommendation for specific VoIP solution, or a marketing plan for a VoIP application. Think of yourself as a consultant. Tackle a VoIP problem in a specific organization of interest to you. Course project preparation This term paper gives you an opportunity to select a topic in which you are interested and apply concepts and applications from readings, exercises, current best practices, and class discussions. Write a term paper in which you introduce the issue, define the problem, search the literature, analyze the problem, offer possible solutions, propose a single solution, develop an implementation plan, and justify why/how your solution will solve the identified problem. Your VoIP/IP Telephony project will be objectively evaluated based on the following criteria. To facilitate your Network Design Project's creation, please utilize the following four (4) sections as subheadings. The "Writing Quality and Flow" is the last section (worth 30 points) on which you will be evaluated… as it relates to the other four sections. Introduction *Must be 1.5-2 pages* Provide a complete description of the topic you selected, and identify the specific IP Telephony/VoIP issues. In this section, spend time defining and describing your project and present background/facts that will enable the reader to clearly understand the topic. Providing a thorough understanding and clear articulation of the project's topic is critical to the successful development of the rest of your project. The Introduction should help the reader envision the project and how you propose to accomplish it. The Project statement *Must be 2-3 pages* The project's problem statement should be the driving force behind the project. It should include the purpose or specific result expected from the project and achieved through the project objectives and activities. It should include the criteria against which everything done on the project is measured. A good problem statement is specific, measurable, and realistic. The problem statement should not change during the course of the project. Identify and clearly state the problem(s) and issues. If there appears to be more than one problem/issue, decide if they are separate or related issues. Analysis *Must be 3.5-5 pages* A significant section of the project is providing a detailed description of the causes of the problem/issue(s) that you have defined in the Problem Statement section. Be sure the causes you identify relate directly to the problem/issue. You must effectively apply course material. Integrate your findings from your review of the literature in your analysis. Discuss the concepts, ideas, or insights that are most valuable in helping you make sense of your project. This is not a course in applied commonsense, so support your analysis with appropriate research. This section should tie together the problem statement and project goals. Cite all sources. This section and the implementation plan are the most important sections of your project. Start thinking this through as soon as you have defined your problem statement. It is important to spend significant time in working through this section of the plan. Recommended Solution & Implementation *Must be 3-4.5 pages* Explore the solution(s) that could be appropriate to solve the identified problem/issue(s). Be sure the solution(s) is/are logical based on your analysis and that the solution(s) would effectively treat the problems, not the symptoms. Also, discuss the anticipated outcomes (both positive and negative) of implementing each of the possible solution(s) you identified. Describe exactly what should be done and how it should be done, including by whom, with whom, and in what sequence. Your implementation plan should include any recommendations you may have for the manager, a high level timeline, and identify any risks. This section should also contain a fallback plan if the proposed implementation should fail. This section should be developed in conjunction with the analysis section. This section will describe, in words, how the manager will implement your proposed solution. References You must use no less than six (6) resources outside your textbook. Cite all sources. All references must be cited in two places: within the text and on a references list. Choose references judiciously and cite them accurately.

Technology's Influence on Society Research, identify and discuss technology’s influence on society, as well as at least three ways it has changed the way companies do business. While Technology is regularly depicted as the most vital impact upon society, it rests a subject which merits further study. This circumstance is, for the most part, acknowledged, with government officials, sociologists, businesspersons and educators alike perceiving that Technology lies at the very heart of society.

(1.) Review the detail from the novella Anthem:

 
The Scholars intend to destroy Equality 7-2521’s invention even though it could be of enormous use to the world.

 
Which best describes the connection between this detail and the historical context of the novella Anthem?
 
1. It shows that the society is superstitious, and believes that the invention was created by an evil power.
2. It shows that the society is oppressive, and values control more than technological progress.
3. It shows that the society is protective, because it doesn’t want its citizens to be corrupted by technology.
4. It shows that the society lacks knowledge of the past, because they do not understand how technology makes life easier.

(2.) Read the passage:

 
They threw seeds from their hand as if they deigned to fling a scornful gift, and the earth was a beggar under their feet.

 
What is the meaning of the phrase “the earth was a beggar under their feet”?
 
1. The earth needs to be watered.
2. The earth is worshipping the woman.
3. The earth is dry and parched.
4. The earth is full of new life.

3. the character that lacks dimensionality: that is, the character seems entirely “good” or entirely bad
4. the character that does not change or evolve over the course of the story

(4.)Review the scenario:
 
Margaret is trying to alter the following information in her argumentative essay for use in a speech directed at her ninth-grade history class: Brody, Kestler, and Lee represented the defendants in subsequent appeals but, as Lucerno notes, “the critical issue raised early on by the defense council—of whether the defendants could, in fact, receive a fair trial in Montgomery County—was never addressed” (34).

 
How should Margaret change this sentence to suit her audience?
 
1. One source, Lucerno, indicates that the ongoing issue in the trial involved the question of whether the defendants could receive a fair trial in their hometown of Montgomery County.
2. One source indicates that the defendants never received a fair trial in their hometown of Montgomery County.
3. David Lucerno, an attorney notes that, although there were several appeals, the defense’s request to move the case to another county, was never granted. This raises questions about the fairness of these convictions.
4. Brody, Kestler, and Lee note that they acted as the legal team for the defendants during the appeals process, but the case was never moved. This raises questions about the fairness of these trials.
