You are the lead engineer for Trades Networking Group (TNG), a small consulting firm located in the Southeast United States. You and a team of engineers were contracted to develop and deploy a network for a hospital in the South Florida area. The network will host Internet-facing servers and an e-mail server. Web-based services will be used to interact with a database that holds patients records. However, this database will not be available from the Internet. It will be available only from the intranet. Not all users on the hospital’s network should be able to reach that internal Web-based customer database server. Wireless solutions must be deployed throughout the hospital; however, guests should not be able to access the corporate data highway.

Working with your group of engineers, complete the following:

• Recommend and explain a design solution.
• Explain why you have chosen your design.
• The document of 3–5 pages should be a professional design document.
  • You must include a diagram in your document to depict your recommended design.
• Create a 6-slide PowerPoint presentation to present to your customers when you make your design presentation

House of Wisdom: How the Arabs Transformed Western Civilization: i)Scanning the Table of Contents. This can help you understand how the book is organized and will
aid in determining the author’s main ideas and how they are developed – chronologically, topically,
etc.
ii)Looking for other book reviews. If you use these, be sure to reference them in footnotes.
2)Include some biographical information about the author.
a)What is his background? Why did the author write on this subject rather than on some other subject?
b)What is his reputation, qualifications, influences, biographical, etc. – any information that is
relevant to the book being reviewed and that would help to establish the author’s authority.
c)Can you discern any connections between the author’s philosophy, life experience and the reviewed
book?
d)Who is the intended audience?
3)How is the book as read? What is the author’s style? Is it formal or informal? Evaluate the
quality of the writing style by using some of the following standards: coherence, clarity,
originality,
forcefulness, conciseness, fullness of development, fluidity . Does it suit the intended audience?
Is it readable? Enjoyable?
4)How did the book affect you? Were any previous ideas you had on the subject changed, abandoned,
or reinforced due to this book? How is the book related to your own course or personal agenda?
What personal experiences you’ve had relate to the subject?
5)How well has the book achieved its goal?
6)Evaluate the book for interest, accuracy, objectivity, importance, thoroughness, and usefulness to
its intended audience. Show whether the author’s main arguments are true. Respond to the author’s
opinions. What do you agree or disagree with? And why?
7)Illustrate whether or not any conclusions drawn are derived logically from the evidence. Explore
issues the book raises. What possibilities does the book suggest? What has the author omitted or
what problems were left unsolved? What specific points are not convincing? Compare it with other
books on similar subjects or other books by the same as well as different authors. Is it only a
reworking of earlier books; a refutation of previous positions? Have newly uncovered sources
justified a new approach by the author? Comment on parts of particular interest, and point out
anything that seems to give the book literary merit. Relate the book to larger issues.
8)Check the back matter. Is the index accurate? Check any end notes or footnotes as you read from
chapter to chapter. Do they provide important additional information? Do they clarify or extend
points made in the body of the text?
9)Summarize (briefly), analyze, and comment on the book’s content. State your general conclusions.
Pay particular attention to the author’s concluding chapter. Is the summary convincing? List the
principal topics, and briefly summarize the author’s ideas about these topics, main points, and
conclusions. Use specific references and quotations to support your statements. If your thesis has
been well argued, the conclusion should follow naturally. It can include a final assessment
or simply restate your thesis. Do not introduce new material at this point.

PTO policies have become good tools for HR staff to use in terms of organizational incentives. Use the Argosy University online library and your textbooks to read about PTO policies.

While reviewing the information from the two merged companies, the HR Director has found out that each company has two different PTO policies.

Company A has a PTO system in which employees are given 30 days of paid time off each year, which accumulates at the rate of 2.5 days a month. Under this policy, vacation and sick leave are all rolled into one paid leave and any absence whether scheduled, such as vacation, or unscheduled, such as sick leave, are taken from the accumulated leave the employee has earned.

Company B has a more traditional leave system in which employees are given 12 days of vacation, 10 days of sick leave and 10 holidays. The company is closed on those holidays. Vacation is accumulated at a day per month. Sick leave has an unlimited accumulation, but unlike vacation would not be paid out upon termination of employment.

Since the employees of the merged company will be working side by side, the HR Director has asked you to review the situation and make recommendations for a solution.

Instructions:

As an HR Director prepare a report addressing the following issues:

• Identify any additional information you would need to recommend a solution, and explain where you would likely find that information.
• Discuss any issues you would likely encounter if you were to merge the PTO system to a traditional leave system. Explain which issues would be difficult to solve and why.
• Explain any problems you see with leaving the two systems in place, and identify which system would be assigned for new employees.
• Make a recommendation for one common PTO system. Explain your system and why you think this system is the best system for the company.

Include two to three scholarly references in your response.
