Write a paper about Linux GUI as decribe below

/in /by

As explained in the textbook, UNIX / Linux initially only provided a command line interface for interaction with the operating system (OS). The introduction of a Graphical User Interface (GUI) to UNIX / Linux OS makes it easier to administer a Linux system.

Write a two to three (2-3) page paper in which you:

  1. Discuss the primary advantages of GUI over a textual (command-line) interface in Linux system administration.
  2. Describe two (2) linux desktop environments and explain how they generally function.
  3. Recommend one (1) scenario or situation that demonstrates when each GUI system you described previously (two [2] total scenarios) would be most suitable to install.
  4. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.
  5. Format your assignment according to the following formatting requirements:
    1. Typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
    2. Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
    3. Include a reference page. Citations and references must follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

  • Examine the UNIX / Linux shell command line, and command-line utilities.
  • Use technology and information resources to research issues in operating systems.
  • Write clearly and concisely about UNIX / Linux topics using proper writing mechanics and technical style conventions

Discuss the Methods of Increasing Awareness

LASA 2—Prevention Strategies

Treatment programs cannot always be 100% effective, and many substance abusers relapse into drug abuse after days, months, or even years of sobriety. With the marginal success of treatment programs, it is even more important that people never start using drugs. As such, prevention strategies are of utmost importance.

Review the case study. Using your module readings and the Argosy University online library resources, research methods of increasing awareness about substance abuse and dependence.

Develop a PowerPoint presentation including the following:

  • Identify and describe two prevention strategies.
  • Explain ways of determining whether loved ones have a problem with drugs using the current DSM characteristics of substance use disorders.
  • Address the effectiveness of current treatment strategies in the United States.
  • Explain polypharmacology
  • Address the possible treatment options and treatment difficulties for someone who is dependent on two substances.

Develop an 8–10-slide presentation (complete with speakers notes) in PowerPoint format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Be sure to include a title slide and a list of references. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M5_A1.ppt. By Saturday, August 30, 2014, deliver your assignment to the M5: Assignment 1 Dropbox.

220 words Marketing discussion short answer

Recently, Bubblair, a diving-products company invented a new type of flipper. Flippers are used for swimming under water. The traditional kind resemble oversize webbed duck feet. The new flipper is split down the middle of the fin. It was inspired by a certain kind of fish that swims extremely fast. In tests, swimmers using the split-flipper could swim about 20 percent faster than swimmers wearing a traditional flipper. There are other benefits of using the split style besides swimming faster. It takes less effort to swim with it, so less oxygen is consumed while swimming. That means divers can stay underwater about 20 percent longer on a tank of oxygen. The cost of filling up a 90-minute tank of oxygen is $45.

The usual cost to the consumer of buying all the equipment needed to dive in moderately cold water is about $2000, including oxygen tanks, mask, flippers, oxygen regulator, and wet suit. Bubblair manufactures all of the equipment except the tanks. Their products are noted for being of very high quality, which is important to serious divers because of safety concerns. For example, their top-of-the-line traditional flipper is sold direct to consumers for the price of $60. The president of the company has come to you, the assistant manager, to set the price at which the new split-fin flipper will be sold. You know that because of a new manufacturing process, the cost of producing the new flipper is just $25 (the manufacturing cost of the $60 flipper is $35). You also know that Bubblair has a patent on the split design.

At what price do you sell the split-flipper direct to consumers? Be sure to explain why the price you recommended is better than other prices. Start your answer with the price.

220-300 words limit. Must be original work.

Study the following document: Methods for Managing Differences. Assume this communication strategy has been recommended by your employer for mediation when working with potential and existing business clients and partners.

Consider that there are basically two distinct types of cultures. One type is more cooperative, and the other is more competitive. It has been discovered that there are some conflicts occurring between some of the key players who need to come to agreement on specific critical areas of the deal for it to move forward. The top management would really like this deal to happen.

Imagine being in this situation, and create the scenario as you go through the process using the methods approach from above.

  • Describe the steps you would take and any considerations along the way.
  • How would you use the recommended method when working with individuals who exhibit a generally competitive culture?
  • How would you use the recommended method when working with individuals who exhibit a generally cooperative culture?
  • Would this cultural factor change the way you apply this method for managing differences? Why or why not? Explain.

 Women’s relationships in prison commonly fulfill an emotional need. They are different from men’s sexual relationships in prison in that they are less likely to involve coercion or be motivated by power and status grabs. In addition to romantic relationships, female inmates are also likely to form prison families with roles that mimic mothers, sisters, and even grandmothers. For many inmates, their prison family is the first positive female role modeling they have encountered.

In the article, Inside a maximum security women’s prison, reporter Diane Sawyer spent a day and a night inside a prison to explore the relationships of female prisoners, particularly as they pertain to sex. In addition, read the report, Managing sexual relationships in a female prison, that takes a deeper look at the culture from the perspective of the guards of Bandyup Women’s Prison in Washington.

  1. Should guards allow or encourage familial and/or sexual relationships in prison? What are the pros and cons?
  2. Why do you think women who are straight in the community choose to enter into homosexual relationships in prison?
  3. How might prison families help women cope with incarceration?

Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from the required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references

Greek History and philosophy

/in /by

Please choose one of them and write a double space and 5 pages essay. There are 3 possible topics, please choose one of them.

1. Both the Symposium and Plato’s Republic lay out a vision for the role of philosopher’s and philosophy in society. Analyze the role of the philosopher in these two texts. Do they overlap in any serious ways or are they distinctly different? Both texts locate the philosopher within a broader context. What are these contexts and how do they connect with philosophy in both contexts?

2. Aristotle’s notion of ethics in the Nichomachean Ethics seems to directly conflict with Plato’s ethical ideas as they are presented in the Republic. How do the two men view the nature of ethics? How do their understandings differ and what kinds of arguments to they make to support their positions?

3.The Hellenistic world that developed after the death of Alexander was a world full of change and innovation, of new ideas and beliefs entering into the Greek world. Focusing on two of the philosophical schools of the period (stoicism, skepticism, cynicism, epicureanism), compare the approach of the two systems to dealing with life’s uncertainties. What are the potential advantages and disadvantages of these schools?
