Question 1
Page 465, Problem 1:
Give an example of a deadlock taken from politics.
Question 2
Page 465, Problem 5:
The four conditions (mutual exclusion, hold and wait, no preemption and circular wait) are necessary for a resource deadlock to occur. Give an example to show that these conditions are not sufficient for a resource deadlock to occur. When are these conditions sufficient for a resource deadlock to occur?
Question 3
Use the script file “sub” discussed on the last page of this week’s handout as a template to complete the following tasks:
Follow these steps:Make two more copies of file “mysedfile” as “mysedfile2” and “mysedfile3”;
Create a script file, “mysedscript”, that will read the files, “mysedfile”, “mysedfile2”, and “mysedfile3”, as its inputs using a for-loop;
For each file “mysedscript” reads, use sed commands to 1) remove the blank line(s), 2) insert the following record before Jerry’s record, and 3) update the files accordingly:Allen 91 83 95
After making “mysedscript” an executable file, run it. Please verify if “mysedfile”, “mysedfile2”, and “mysedfile3” are updated as required
Question 4
Based on the data file “mysedfile” you created for Lab 6, please complete the following tasks:Create a sed script file “mysedprog” (see the Linux handouts for examples), that removes blank line(s), appends the following two records after Tom’s record, and sends the updated information to screen:
Cindy 85 94 92
Allen 91 83 95Save the content of your “mysedprog” file, the sed command line you used, and the output.

TASK 3
WHAT TO DOA clustered bar chart showing the fertility rate (fertility_rat

TASK 3
WHAT TO DOA clustered bar chart showing the fertility rate (fertility_rate) and education expenditures (edu_of_gdp) for the top 10 countries with the highest education expenditures from the people_and_society table. Note: if you do everything correctly, the highest bar on the chart will correspond to a country with no name (Blank). Think about why this happened and explain it in the input field under the task. Then create a filter for the widget to remove the bar for the unnamed country TASK 5
WHAT TO DO
Open the file with your project in Power BI. Go to the report screen and create a new, third page. Add a scatter plot widget to the blank page. This chart helps to see the functional dependence of one numerical variable on another. Set the fertility rate from the people_and_society table on the Y-axis and the median age from the same table on the X-axis. In the field settings on the axes (click the checkmark to the right of the field), select “Don’t Summarize” for both the fertility_rate and median_age fields. If you do everything correctly, the points will almost line up, indicating an obvious functional dependence. Think about what this chart means and explain it in the input field under the task.
Conclusion: Provide the answer to task 3 and complete task 5 on a separate page of the report.

Create a script that loops through all the stocks for each quarter and outputs the following information:
The ticker symbol
Quarterly change from the opening price at the beginning of a given quarter to the closing price at the end of that quarter.
The percentage change from the opening price at the beginning of a given quarter to the closing price at the end of that quarter.
The total stock volume of the stock. The result should match the following image:
Add functionality to your script to return the stock with the “Greatest % increase”, “Greatest % decrease”, and “Greatest total volume”. The solution should match the following image:
Make the appropriate adjustments to your VBA script to enable it to run on every worksheet (that is, every quarter) at once.
NOTE
Make sure to use conditional formatting that will highlight positive change in green and negative change in red.
Other Considerations
Use the sheet alphabetical_testing.xlsx while developing your code. This dataset is smaller and will allow you to test faster. Your code should run on this file in just a few seconds.
Make sure that the script acts the same on every sheet. The joy of VBA is that it takes the tediousness out of repetitive tasks with the click of a button

LW 2 reply to this discussion
Good evening class,
Human Resource Information Systems have been vital to every organization. It has especially helped create a strategic business partnership with the organization by way of improving how Human Resources effectively manages personnel records and other important functions. For example, when Human Resources has invested in a cloud-based software program that can hold files for current and future personnel and applicants. This is important because we all know that documentation is essential. If a former or current employee were to bring up any claim or accusation, these programs can pull up any file that is under that employee/former employee. These programs usually track, collect, and retain all data. Thus, provide the audit with any information that was necessary to complete the audit. Ultimately, HRIS is bringing so much value to the organization through innovation. It has brought new ways to complete previous time-consuming processes and tasks which will align with the strategic goals of the organization.
LW 3 reply to this discussion
Professor/class,
Happy week one and nice to meet all of you! Regarding this discussion in particular I recall human resources was viewed as purely administrative, with limited influence on the future or success of the company as a whole. While getting the foundational policies and processes established is important, companies that want to differentiate themselves from their competition and win in their respective markets must transition their HR into a strategic partner. When HR is a strategic partner, they can impact the company’s key goals and objectives by focusing on the following five key areas: Talent Acquisition, Employee Development, Succession Planning, Technology, and Culture. Identifying the needs and investing the resources required to make each of these areas a core strength for the company will result in superior results and make you an employer of choice in the marketplace.
To establish HR as a strategic partner and identify and attract top-tier talent, they must:
Understand the details behind the company’s vision
Be involved in identifying and defining the current and future goals
Partner with Senior Leadership in the development of your candidate profile
Design and deliver a strategy for attracting and retaining key talent
Thoughts?

A Benefits processing module.
A Performance Management processing module.
A Training and Development Administration module
An Applicant Tracking Module.
Payroll processing with an HR Integration Interface.
A Time and Attendance tracking module.
An appropriate report generation feature with custom and standard reporting features.

In summary, the VP wants to find a single system that fulfills the company’s payroll processing needs and also satisfies the HR department’s needs for automating all regular HR administration processes.

How to broadcast a message on the Internet?

How to broadcast a message on the Internet? Two questions need to be answered: What address should be used as the broadcast address. How to send data to the broadcast address? A broadcast address is the subnet’s network number with all onebits set for the host portion of the address. For instance, if a network IP address is 192.168.1.0, and the netmask is 255.255.255.0, the last byte of the address is the host number (because the first three bytes, according to the netmask, correspond to the network number). So the broadcast address is 192.168.1.255. Under Unix, the ifconfig command will actually give you all this information.
Determine the broadcast address of your local machine; (5 point)(My PC ip address data IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 10.0.0.51 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : fe80::d66c:6dff:fe99:fb75%16 10.0.0.1)
