Preparation for Remodel and Inventory Growth

➢ Continuously update the new contact list (see page 4 of manual) of vendor’s names and phone numbers. Use this list to find the best display options for name brand items and to make future ordering more efficient for everyone. Post this list at every work station for easy access. Include in the contact list added information such as account numbers, minimum order amounts, and how best to place an order.

A. Contact Concho Welding Supply
1. Discuss display options for Lincoln welding rods, Bernard Centerfire consumables, Thermal–Dynamics consumables, and empty cylinders for size references.
2. Find out about any new point of sale items that can be placed strategically around the front checkout counter for customers to pick up on their way out. Also, see about new, hot items that may be out and beneficial to customers that are fence builders, pipeliners, and those in steel building construction.
3. Request price breaks by buying in bulk and increasing inventory on fast moving items purchased from trailer and pipe manufacturers.

B. Contact Welders Supply

About

Datasets are spreadsheets that contain rows and columns. The intersection of rows and columns creates cells. Numeric, alpha, and alphanumeric data can reside in these cells.

The image below is a screenshot of a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, a very common software. There are four rows marked: 1, 2, 3, and 4; and there are four columns marked: A, B, C, and D. These 4 rows and 4 columns create 16 cells. Cells A1, B1, and C1 are populated with the following data: “123” (numeric), “abc” (alpha), and “123abc” (alphanumeric), respectively. Note that the remaining 13 cells are empty.

Datasets are essential for data analysis since datasets contain the observations and variables that you are interested in analyzing.

Estimated Time

An estimated 90-120 minutes is needed to complete this activity.

Cross-Section dataset

Cross-section, or cross-sectional, datasets refers to a dataset that look at many objects in a single time period.

Observations can be persons, cities, states, countries, legislation, committees, schools, and so on. Variables are concepts that have at least two values. For example, the variable age can have values from 0 to 100+. Or the variable race can have the values African American, White, Hispanic, Asian American, and so on.

To illustrate a cross-section dataset, I decided to first update the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. In cells A1 through E1 included the variable name. It is common to use the 1st row of cells to state the variable name of each column. In rows 2 through 5, I have four notable people listed: Cardi B, Joe Biden, Dolores Huerta, and Andrew Yang. For each person, I have information about their gender, age, race, and year the data was collected.

The data is cross-sectional because we are looking at many objects (notable persons) in a single time period (year 2020).

Example of a cross-sectional dataset Figure 3‑2: Example of a cross-sectional dataset

Time Series dataset

Time series datasets refer to a dataset that looks at a single object over multiple time periods.

To illustrate a time series dataset, I decided to focus on Cardi B, one of my notable persons from the cross-section datasets. In cells A1 through F1, we see six variables: name, gender, age, race, year, and singlerecords. The variable singlerecords refers to the number of single songs with Cardi B as lead artist (Cardi B discography – Wikipedia

Links to an external site.).

The data is time series because we are looking at one object (Cardi B) over multiple time periods (years 2017 to 2020). And in this case, our variables age, year, and singlerecords change for each row of data.

Example of a time series dataset

Figure 3‑3: Example of a time series dataset

Panel dataset

Panel datasets refer to a dataset that looks at multiple objects over multiple time periods.

To demonstrate a panel dataset, I updated the time series dataset to include a second musical artist: Harry Styles. Again, in cells A1 through F1, we see six variables: name, gender, age, race, year, and singlerecords.

The data is panel because we are looking at multiple objects (Cardi B and Harry Styles) over multiple time periods (years 2017 to 2020). And again, our variables age, year, and singlerecords change for each row of data for each artist. For example, for year 2017, both Cardi B and Harry Styles (Harry Styles discography – Wikipedia

Links to an external site.) had 3 single records. But in year 2019, Cardi B had 3 compared to Harry’s 2 singles.

Although there are some critics that do not align Hughes with Modernism, where do we see in him the same experimentation with language and form and emphasis on American individualism that we see in the poems of other pre-Modernists and Modernists, like Emily Dickinson? Compare and contrast one poem by Hughes with one poem by Dickinson.

Who is the friend? What interactions do we see in the play, and what inferences can you make about the friendship? How does Shakespeare show us the relationship?

/in /by

Thematic Analysis paper

To focus your thinking, choose one character – either Brutus or Antony – who will be the subject of your paper. Then, consider their loyalties. Your three body paragraphs should focus on three separate friendships your chosen character has in the play. For each, include the following points:

  • Who is the friend?
  • What interactions do we see in the play, and what inferences can you make about the friendship? How does Shakespeare show us the relationship?
  • Does your character remain loyal to this friend? If so, what reasons do they have to remain loyal?
  • Or does your character betray this friend? If so, how do they feel about this betrayal?

At least one of your body paragraphs should focus on your character’s friendship with Caesar.

Your conclusion paragraph should come to a meaningful insight about whether your character was a good friend and what Shakespeare wanted to communicate, thematically, about loyalty, betrayal, and friendship in Julius Caesar.

What to Write for the Essay.

  • Introduction
    • The character you chose to focus on (Brutus or Antony)
    • The three friendships you will examine (remember one of them must be with Julius Caesar)
    • The quality of friendships this character had overall
  • Body Paragraph #1: Friend 1
    • A description of friendship #1
    • Identify and discuss interactions and inferences in the play about loyalty or betrayal with this friend.
    • Use at least two quotes to support your ideas.
  • Body Paragraph #2: Friend 2
    • A description of friendship #2
    • Identify and discuss interactions and inferences in the play about loyalty or betrayal with this friend.
    • Use at least two quotes to support your ideas.
  • Body Paragraph #3: Friend 3
    • A description of the friendship with Julius Caesar
    • Identify and discuss interactions and inferences in the play about loyalty or betrayal with this friend.
    • Use at least two quotes to support your ideas.
  • Conclusion
    • Discuss the quality of your character’s friendships
    • Discuss what Shakespeare wanted to communicate, thematically, about loyalty, betrayal, and friendship in Julius Caesar.

Shakespeare uses an incredible amount of poetic devices in Julius Caesar. While your focus should be on the characters and the theme of this play, including a discussion of these will help create a strong paper.

English writing

As was implied on the previous page, John Oliver’s reporting on Last Week Tonight often employs the structure of academic essays with jokes thrown in.

Answer the following questions about Last Week Tonight‘s piece on how the media goes about reporting crime. The video is embedded at the bottom of this page.
