Write a comparative analysis between the traditional top-down approach and the participatory approach to workplace communication, taking into account their respective effects on employee satisfaction, including factors such as frequency of communication, clarity of message, level of employee involvement and engagement, and overall job satisfaction. In your analysis, consider specific examples of each approach and their outcomes, as well as any relevant research or studies on the topic.<|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>
| The traditional top-down approach to workplace communication is hierarchical, where information flows from top-level management to subordinates through a prescribed chain of command. The information is typically one-way and focused on directives, policies, and procedures. Conversely, the participatory approach encourages open communication and collaboration among employees and management, placing an emphasis on two-way communication and valuing the input of each team member in decision-making. In terms of employee satisfaction, the participatory approach has been shown to have a significant positive impact. This is because it fosters a sense of engagement and involvement in decision-making, making employees feel valued and accountable. |

How can the script automatically determine the current drive/folder path of the user's working directory and pass it as a parameter to the scheduled task?: - OS: Windows Server 2016, AD domain joined.
1. Multiple domain users will connect to the server using a Powershell remote session and their domain credentials.
2. The script will need to use the user’s current working directory as a variable.
a) From the prompt, user changes path to the drive and folder where the control file exists and an output file will be generated. Automatically determine the current drive/folder path and pass it as a parameter to the script. This is preferred.
o Location is a sub-folder (TestSched).
Mechanism must be robust enough so that several users can stack multiple scheduled tasks into the queue.
A powershell script (preferable) or batch file needs to be written that can pass parameters to, and run a set of commands in, a Windows scheduled task. Greatly prefer to use ScheduledTasks (not the older Schtasks).
- When task is created in task scheduler, it asks for credentials, user can be prompted for their domain user/password if needed.
- If user password is passed as a parameter, use SecureString to avoid exposing sensitive info.

Given the text: Most people cook pasta by boiling it in a pot.
One chef's cooking hack is to cook it in a frying pan.
The cooking time is around 10 minutes.
We're going to go out on a limb here and assume you've cooked pasta at least once or twice in your life (or this week). It's up there with scrambled eggs and PB&J as food even the most kitchen-averse people can manage to prepare. We're also going to guess that you've cooked pasta the same way we all have: Grab a large pot, fill it with water, add a dash of salt if you're feeling fancy, and wait for the water to boil. Then wait a little longer. Hold on for just another couple minutes. Peek under the lid of the pot to check for bubbles. And eventually get impatient enough to turn the stove top off and reach for a Hot Pocket.
Step 1: Traditionalists, forget everything you know and reach for a frying pan instead of a pot.
Step 3: Pour one-to-two quarts of cold water (the temperature prevents noodles from sticking together) into the pan, depending on how much pasta you're making. The water should cover the noodles by half an inch or so.
Step 4: Turn your burner to medium-high heat, and stir occasionally.
That's it! Your pasta will cook in about 10 minutes, plus there's an added bonus: You'll be left with just enough starchy water to make an incredibly delicious sauce.
And that, friends, is called using your noodle.

Given the text: Many of you probably noticed a couple weeks ago when Snapchat’s user interface received a major facelift in its latest update. This new update gave way to a more real-time content system, providing users and viewers with more content from advertising partners at all times. On the surface, the UI update was just a nice redesign, but it was actually laying the groundwork for Snapchat’s ad partner program, rolled out yesterday, 6/13.
Ad-type content has existed on Snapchat for many months now, involving a very select group of partners like Buzzfeed, ESPN, NowThis and MTV. However, now, Snapchat’s API will open up advertising to a wider variety of advertisers. Even more unfortunate for users is the news that these ads will appear “in between the Snapchat Stories in users’ streams,” according to Fortune.
This means that video content on Snapchat will at least somewhat resemble the ad-supported freemium content on Spotify, in the sense that content will be punctuated with ads. This could even potentially give way to a subscriber model for Snapchat in the future, though there has been no evidence so far to suggest that will happen.
Snapchat claims to generate over 100 billion views per day, more than Facebook. With an ad-supported system in place and higher than average costs to advertisers, Snapchat is worked hard toward their ambitious goals leaked in a report earlier this year. Snapchat says it expects to have revenue of about $300 million this year and between $500 million and $1 billion next year. Last year, the company made just $59 million.

Given the text: GDP growth came in at +0.25% q/q in Q4 2018, fully driven by net exports. Full-year 2018 GDP growth declined from +2.3% in 2017 to +1.5% in 2018. Two thirds of the latter was driven by a high carryover at the start of the year. In Q4, household spending decreased by -0.1% q/q. This weakness was the result of several factors, such as the second oil price spike (in October, after May), difficulties in the automotive sector (partly driven by new homologation rules and their impact on German carmakers) and the yellow vest blockades. The missing household spending was pervasive in Q4, since residential investment deteriorated to +0% y/y (+5.1% in Q4 2017) and private consumption to +0.6% y/y (+1% y/y). As a result, manufacturers had to stabilize their output in Q4 2018 (+0.1% q/q) and construction output posted a double dip decline (-0.1% in Q4 after -0.2% in Q1). In 2019, current spending is expected to recover (purchasing power should increase by +2%) and push GDP growth to +1.2%, but increased unemployment (9.2%) will weigh on residential and durable goods spending of households.

Close control of the cast structure is a major requirement in the production of high-quality aluminium-alloy products. The most effective way to provide a fine and uniform as-cast grain structure is to add nucleating agents to the melt to control crystal formation during solidification. Master alloys with a number of different titanium-to-boron or titanium-to-carbon ratios are available to accommodate special conditions that may exist in the user's plant.

Canopy Theatre in partnership with La Scéne Theatre from Aixe-en-Provence, France, launches its inaugural season with Syrian playwright Fares al Zahaby’s daring monodrama, Mawlana. Starring Syrian TV and Film actor, Nawar Bulbul, Mawlana opens at the Vortex on Manor Rd. At 8pm October 4 and runs through October 7.
This courageous play calls into question religious ideologies and doctrines through the eyes of a young man named Abed. Set in the iconic Damascene neighborhood near the Sheikh Mohy ad-Din Ibn Arabi Mosque and Shrine, Bulbul communicates the story of Abed who struggles to find his place amongst competing religious doctrines, Western influences, and his own inner desires. Along the way, al Zahaby treats the audience to a colorful palette of characters from the neighborhood, all of whom Bulbul plays masterfully. Each person Abed crosses in this journey propels him towards his dangerously liberating discovery.
Mawlana will be performed in the lyrical and poetic colloquial Damascene dialect of Arabic, but will feature English subtitles during the performance. Not only will Mawlana give Austin audiences a glimpse into the life of someone growing up in late 20th century Damascus, but it also will provoke serious questions about adherence to the human created institution of religion. How does the setting of the play contribute to the themes and messages presented in Mawlana?<|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>

Additionally, the neighborhood setting creates a cultural context for the play, giving audiences insight into the history and traditions of Damascus. Ultimately, the setting helps to emphasize the significance of religious ideologies and their impact on personal identity and societal norms. |

Here is a piece of text: THE TOP European Court has ruled that Uber is officially a transport company and not just a ride-hailing app.
The ruling follows months of controversy in Spain about the discounted ride-hailing service.
The European Court of Justice (ECJ) decision means that the app can now be regulated like any other taxi company.
Spain has recently seen protests about the company in Malaga, Barcelona and Madrid.
In late November, thousands of taxi drivers across the country went on strike to demand further regulation for companies like Uber.
The service was kicked out of Spain in December 2014, when a judge ruled they were violating national rules and providing unfair competition for licensed taxis.
But Uber returned in 2016, bypassing the ban by employing professionally licensed drivers.
However, following today’s ECJ ruling, the company could now face further regulation.
Uber has faced months of bad press across the world, for poor treatment of staff and sexual harassment allegations.

The day we'd scheduled the Mooncup workshop was, unfortunately, the first Saturday after long awaited heavy rains, coincidentally also the birthday of Lord Buddha. With both these things in mind the evening beforehand was slightly fraught with concerns that the Mother's Group and young women would be busy in the fields. Tired, stressed and worried that we'd dragged Yogina out to Okhaldhunga for a low or no turn out led to a few less than diplomatic insistence on my part. Being woken up the next morning by the host family ringing around, making calls and visiting people to gather people began to alleviate the fears. Half an hour into the arranged time with no shows yet put us right back to concern central. However the host family's hard work and community links paid off and one and a half hours after the scheduled time we had the largest turn out yet for any of our Mooncup workshops, nearly 40 women, (and a few men and boys we had to er...shuffle along).

body weight prior to the analysis (41). We found that the mild 15% CR diet was more effective than the KD in delaying seizure onset and in reducing seizure susceptibility (Figure 7). Our comparative analysis of CR and the KD was restricted to juvenile mice because the AL-fed KD does not inhibit seizure susceptibility in adult EL mice (74). In contrast to CR, which lowers blood glucose levels (Figure 5A), the AL-fed KD does not lower blood glucose levels in the juvenile EL mice (27).
The KD may inhibit epileptogenesis in the juvenile EL mice by prolonging the preweaning period, thereby causing the brain to metabolize ketones for energy (75,76). CR may enhance this effect by also lowering glucose levels. The AL-fed KD is ineffective in reducing seizure susceptibility in adult EL mice, in which glucose levels and body weights are not reduced (74). These findings suggest that the KD may be most effective in reducing seizure susceptibility when blood glucose levels or total calories are also restricted.

Given the text: Sweet Briar’s first Grant for Engaged Learning leads student to D.C.
When Sweet Briar announced its new Grants for Engaged Learning, international affairs, psychology and philosophy triple major Shifti Kamal ’20 immediately knew she could put the money to good use. This fall, she participated in the 26th annual Mid-Atlantic European Union Simulation and became the first Sweet Briar student to complete a GEL-funded project.
By the end of the spring semester, she was looking into taking more University of Lynchburg classes in the fall. She found a European Union politics class with Professor Marek Payerhin.
And that’s where the Grant for Engaged Learning came in. Over the summer, Kamal found out that each Sweet Briar student would be eligible for up to $2,000 to fund research, internships or study abroad, effective immediately. Kamal wasted no time writing a proposal to fund the $390 to cover registration, hotel and travel expenses for the EU simulation. And the College rewarded her enthusiasm.
Kamal was elected co-chair of the Green party.
The competition took place in Washington, D.C. And Arlington, Va., Nov. 9-11. While in D.C., the team also visited the German embassy for a diplomatic briefing. Kamal and her classmates represented Germany, as well as a small governmental delegation from Austria.
Kamal was elected co-chair of the comparatively small Green party — one of several political parties in Germany — which proved tough at times, she said.
It sounds like Kamal might just be a natural, and her Grant for Engaged Learning was well worth the investment.
There’s still money left in her GEL fund, and she plans to apply again next year for another EU simulation.
