1) Using a social media platform, identify a post, picture, or video to analyze (Twitter or Instagram will work best for this assignment, but Snapchat or TikTok can be used as well).
2) Once you have found a post, picture, or video, identify a theme on which to base your analysis (love, politics, friendship, etc.).
3) In 1,000 words, analyze the post, picture, or video by examining the theme that you have chosen. Discuss the cultural, social, or political implications surrounding the post, picture, or video and explain key aspects of its significance. (For example, ask yourself questions such as “why is this an appropriate medium for this particular post, picture, or video?” “how might this be misinterpreted if it were posted on another platform?” “why would users of this social media platform find this interesting or significant?”)
4) Build your analysis/assessment around your perception of the post, picture, or video going beyond the usual questions by utilizing some of the strategies for analyzing visual rhetoric from Chapter 4 of your textbook (technologies used to produce an image, formal and social layers, etc.).
Criteria for Success:
1) A minimum of 3 pages, double spaced, Times New Roman, 12 pt font.
2) Have you identified a suitable post, picture, or video that has cultural, political, or social significance?
3) Have you used specific strategies from your textbook to help you dig below the surface of the post, picture, or video?
4) Have you included screenshots of the post, picture, or video along with your analysis?
5) Is your analysis relatively free of grammar errors (including but not limited to: NO contractions, NO 1st/2nd person pronouns)?

Analytics Exercise-Forecasting Supply Chain Demand Starbucks
Introduction
Forecasting is classified into four basic types: qualitative, time series analysis, causal relationships, and simulation. The decision on which to use is dependent upon the nature of the operation. Wal-Mart has set the standard in the retail industry by having one of the world’s largest cloud based data warehouse in existence today. However, even with large amounts of data and POS, or point of sale, data tracking forecasting is often impacted by economic, technological, natural disasters, suppliers, and labor issues. These issues must be identified and solutions developed in order to maintain the flow within the supply chain.
Read the Forecasting Supply Chain Demand – Starbucks Corporation case in your text Operations and Supply Chain Management on pages 484-485, then address the four questions associated with the Starbucks case on page 485.

Scenario
Ryan is a 12 year old diagnosed with Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). As a small child, Ryan was first diagnosed with Attention Deficit, Hyperactivity Disorder. He had just started preschool and was unable to remain in one place for more than a minute or two. His parents had already had a very difficult time in disciplining him, because he would become very upset and throw temper tantrums when he could not do as he wished. He just seemed to be an unhappy, irritable child. This behavior continued in school. As time progressed, Ryan was diagnosed with Oppositional Defiant Disorder, because he continued to refuse to listen to adults and comply with the rules.
By the age of 12, he has begun to bully and annoy others. His parents have decided that the approaches they have used in the past are not working, and they are more afraid his behavior will only get worse.
Initial Post

Print the memory addresses of ALL of the variable defined in your program at the VERY end of the code. No automation here…just the name of the variable and the memory address at which it resided during the run. Please comment (in Canvas) on your perception of how the memory addresses are being assigned once they are declared. You may want to notice if the addresses are ascending or descending and you may want to look at what address one variable starts at and the next variable starts at…what’s the difference in bytes?
Please redo Lab #1 but…
Allow the user to input ALL of the variables on the command line in a fixed order… that order being…
inner diameter, outer diameter, thickness, density and then quantity
…if the user does not put any arguments on the command line the user may enter the values interactively, but it MUST be capable of doing BOTH!!!!
You may want to look at https://www.techonthenet.com/c_language/standard_library_functions/stdlib_h/atof.php#:~:text=In%20the%20C%20Programming%20Language,that%20isn’t%20a%20number (Links to an external site.).

When requesting the input of variables perform this as you had previously, but this time…
*Your calculations MUST use pointers to these variables rather than the variables themselves.
*When printing the results of your calculations you MUST only use pointers-to-pointers of the variables rather than the variables themselves or pointers to those variables.
-also-
Please add the “math.h” library and use at least one part of this library to change how your calculations are done. For example, as you know there is no exponentiation in basic C, but “math.h” adds this capability. Perhaps may want to start there.

The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is:
Analyze the performance of an investment portfolio over time.
According to Plato, what is one of the obligations of the citizen toward the political community
Write a 5-6 paragraph essay in which you articulate and defend a thesis on the topic
of the obligations of the citizen toward the political community, according to Plato.
A thesis is a claim that is arguable—it is not obviously true, not obviously false, and not a
matter of opinion, but instead an original (i.e. your own) statement that you will support
with appropriate evidence and arguments. See the ‘handout on writing’ for further
guidance on thesis statements.
You cannot say everything there is to say about citizenship in Plato in one short paper.
Indeed, entire books have been written on citizenship in each of these thinkers. You don’t
need to read those books, and you don’t need to say everything on the topic: you do need
to select one argument that you find important to make about the obligations of the
citizen toward the political community, according to Plato.
For the purpose of this course, quotations from your readings constitute appropriate
evidence. Include a parenthetical citation (page number is sufficient) for each quotation
as demonstrated below.
• For example, your might write something like this: “Socrates emphasized that
good citizens must sometimes annoy and even disturb their fellow citizens in order
to spur them to become better, going so far as to claim in the Apology that he ‘was
attached to this city by the god—though it seems a ridiculous thing to say—as
upon a great and noble horse which was somewhat sluggish because of its size and
needed to be stirred up by a kind of gadfly’ (page 35).”
Your first paragraph should contain an introduction and a single sentence summarizing
your thesis. Underline your thesis sentence.
Your last paragraph should contain a conclusion that consolidates your thesis.
Each of your intermediate paragraphs should contain at least one quotation providing
evidence for your thesis, and appropriate argumentation demonstrating how the quotation
supports your thesis.
Here are the links from the sources. Uploaded another source as well. Use these sources only.
