Complete the code to counts the number of lines input by a user until the user enters the string ENDOFDATA (must be uppercase letters, no spaces) on a line by itself. Make sure you display the number of lines found. Use the nextLine() method of Scanner class to read entire lines of data. (Hint, this is like counting the number of integers entered, but reading Strings and using String comparison to check for equality).

String SENTINEL = “ENDOFDATA”;

Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.println( “Enter lines of data or ” + SENTINEL + ” to quit” );

Be sure to respond to your instructor’s comments to you in this forum by Day 7.

For this discussion, you will produce a creative video presentation using PowerPoint and Screenr to demonstrate your knowledge about learning theory and how it applies to your own learning processes. Creating this presentation will also allow you to practice using the technology you will utilize for your final presentation in Week Five. Your presentation must be a minimum of 2 ½ minutes long, and it may not exceed 5 minutes. Thus, you will need to be effective as you showcase the required material.

To begin, create a script document and a PowerPoint presentation.  The script will assist you in creating a video presentation that will not exceed the five-minute time limit allowed for your screencast. The PowerPoint presentation should be a minimum of six content slides and a reference slide for any information taken from your resources. The content slides must include the elements listed below. For each of these areas, consider how/if they affect your potential to learn new things. Be certain to base your arguments on the topics you are learning about in this course and share these insights in your screencast presentation.

Required elements:

 

• Your background experiences including your first memory
• Your hobbies and passions
• Your daily routine

Read the Gospel of Mark as if reading a story. Pay attention to the characters, the plot, and the ways the author makes his points. After you’ve read it, please respond to the following questions…

1. Provide a broad summary of the gospel’s main plot… in other words, what is the basic story it is telling? Do not write more than four sentences for this… I just want you to see if you can figure out what the key story is here.

2. Almost every story has heroes and villains… who seem to be the good guys and who seem to be the bad guys in this story?

3. Consider the narrator of the gospel. Tell me 2 interesting things about the narrator. For example, you might say that the narrator loves to repeat a particular phrase, or that the narrator seems to like certain characters and not others.

4. What is the turning point in the gospel? In other words, when does the story seem to shift decisively? As long as you make a decent case for your choice, I won’t take off points… so don’t feel like you need to scour the internet for the “right” answer here.

Case Questions:
Describe the Stakeholder orientation t REI.
Stakeholder orientation is the organization’s center of the performance. It forms part of its cultural relationship with the other corporate bodies. It is available when the organization is interested in the influence of its deeds to its owners and not just the owners. Stakeholders are those people who have great power over the actions of the organization and whose contribution if withdrawn from it can affect the firm negatively. They consist of the general public where the firm operates, employees, those who supply inputs, customers, and owners. Stakeholder’s orientation makes efforts to reconcile the interests of all the parties taking into account their interests when making decisions about their actions. It focuses on what is good for the stakeholders but not mere money making. Stakeholder orientation can lead to an increased competitive advantage. The main components of shareholder orientation include customer, competitor, employee and shareholder orientations that may either bring synergy or preventive effect.

APA style paper please

You are an engineer working for the Black-Gold oil company.  Oil exploration is being conducted by drilling holes and blasting with specific amounts of dynamite.  To obtain useful seismic readings, a specific ratio between the amount of dynamite and the depth of the hole is needed.  The ideal powder charge to depth-of-hole ration is 1:3.  For the blasting operations each stick of dynamite will be 2.5 feet long and will weigh 5 pounds.  Since the actual powder charge will generally not be equal to the ideal powder charge, round the actual powder charge in 5 pound increments.

Here is an example:
Hole depth = 85 feet
Ideal powder to hole depth ratio = 85/3 = 28.33333 feet
Ideal number of sticks = 28.33333/2.5 = 11.33333
Ideal powder charge = 11.33333*5 = 56.66665 pounds
Actual number of sticks = 11
Actual charge = 11*5 = 55 pounds

An input data file called explore.txt contains exploration information for each well site.  The first record line of the input file defines the number of sites to be read into the program (the control number).  Each succeeding record line has two columns, where the first column is the well site number and the second column is the hole depth of the well in feet.  The two numbers are separated by a comma as the line delimiter.

ASSIGNMENT:
Write a C program that will read the required values from the input file, compute the hole to depth ration, the ideal number of sticks, the ideal powder charge, the actual powder charge, and the actual number of sticks.  Except for the main headings, use a single for loop to control the reading, computing, and printing operations.  Your program will produce a report in tabular format.  Given below is the layout format style.  Print the table to the computer screen and to an output file called results.txt.

Once the program is working, modify the program to account for any hole depth that is less than 30 feet.  Instead of printing the normal column items, for any hole that is less than 30 feet, print the well site, the well depth, and then print a message that the hole is too shallow (shown below).
