Cracked Egg Game: There are a dozen eggs in a basket; some are hard boiled and some are raw. The object of this game is for the user to guess the number of hard-boiled eggs prior to playing the game. The computer then simulates cracking all 12 eggs, using a random number 0 or 1 to simulate raw or hard boiled. The number 0 should represent raw eggs and the number 1 should represent hard boiled. The computer must keep track of the number of hard-boiled eggs. At the conclusion of cracking all 12 eggs, the actual number of hard boiled is compared to the users guess, and whether the user won or lost is given as output.For this project, you will write code in Coral for the programming gameDetermine the variables and relevant data types of each variable. Consider the necessary variables required to implement the logic of your game, as well as the relevant data type (i.e., integer or float) of each variable.

Consider the necessary variables required to implement the logic of your game, as well as the relevant data type (i.e., integer or float) of each variable.Initialize the variables using appropriate data values. Where necessary, assign an initial value to each variable.Set branches that use conditionals to define the logic of the game. This must meet the requirements of the program. You may use the following types of statements to accomplish this:IFIF-ELSEIF-ELSE-IFStatements must also use the appropriate relational operators, which are as follows:== (equals)!= (not equal)< (less than)> (greater than)<= (less than or equal)>= (greater than or equal)Create loops to define the logic, flow, and sequence of the game. Cracked Egg Game: This game will include looping 12 times. Determine what loop to use, then execute it based on program requirementsApply necessary arithmetic operations.

There are many ways of using standardized financial information beyond those discussed in this unit. The usual goal is to put firms on an equal footing for comparison purposes. For example, for auto manufacturers, it is common to express sales, costs, and profits on a per-car basis. For each of the following industries, give an example of an actual company, and discuss one or more potentially useful means of standardizing financial information: public utilities, large retailers, airlines, online services, hospitals, and college textbook publishers. Once you identify the company for each industry, select a particular firm, and calculate four ratios of your choice for 2 consecutive years. Once computed, then provide a 2-year trend analysis. Finally, discuss whether you would or would not invest in this company, including an explanation of why that involves the ratio analysis.

Gender Analysis #2, War in Ukraine.
Prepare a power point presentation to brief the commander of the European Command (EUCOM) and provide recommendations for potential gender issues on the ground in Ukraine. EUCOM is one of the eleven unified combatant commands of the U.S. military. Its headquarters is located in Stuttgart, Germany and its responsibilities cover 21,000,000 square miles and 51 countries and territories, including Europe, Russia, Greenland, and Israel. EUCOM is commanded by General Tom Jones (not his real name).
This presentation calls for you to conduct a gender analysis, that means asking and answering the right questions from a gender perspective. But, instead of writing an analysis, you are tasked to complete a power point presentation. You should prepare a minimum of 7 slides and no more than 10. Each slide should have no more than 5 bullets. A format has been provided in the module for this week. You MUST use this format, but you can design the slides as you choose. There are numerous readings included this week. Look at the material as resources in helping you prepare your assignment. It is not the intent that you deeply read all of them. Include ONLY 5 of these sources on the “Reference” slide.
SITUATION. EUCOM has been instrumental in organizing a coalition of nations to send weapons and security assistance to Ukraine as it defends itself against Russia’s attacks. This support includes some $350 million in aid from the U.S., as well as support from Germany and Sweden (Military.com, 2022,https://www.military.com/daily-news/2022/03/04/global-weapons-pipeline-ukraine-being-managed-us-european-command.html).
You serve as the EUCOMs Gender Advisor (GENAD). General Jones, a great champion of the Women, Peace and Security Agenda, understands the importance of the integration of gender perspectives within military missions in achieving operational effectiveness. He has asked you to complete a gender analysis of the war in Ukraine, looking at both Russian and Ukraine potential gender issues. His secretary has saved a space on his calendar for a 20-minute briefing.
The objective of your presentation is to make recommendations to the commander to assist the Ukrainians with potential gender issues on the ground. The format for your power point presentation is below.

Describe unique characteristics of human resource leadership.
Human resource professionals provide a unique role in the organization. While they may lead a team, their true test of leadership comes from their relationships and influence throughout the organization. They may be called upon to partner in the implementation of organizational strategies. They may be sought out to coach leaders in ways to handle employee relationships. They may be needed to enforce and guide human resource policies. In all cases, the strength of the individual leadership skills comes into play.
Many human resource competencies are nonnegotiable, because a lack of them could mean the difference between business success or failure. No smart business owner with employees willnor shoulddiscount the impact of human beings and their contribution, connection, communication, and emotion when conducting business. This should be where human resources comes in.
A solid understanding of leadership and its unique role as a human resource professional will also serve as a foundation for upcoming course assessments.
Write a 35 page paper in which you define leadership, influence, and communication unique to the human resource professional. You will identify two leadership theories that resonate for you as you envision your leadership style for this new position.
There are many ways to research leadership theories. The course text,
The Leadership Experience, compiles a clear overview of current leadership theories in Chapter 1, “What Does It Mean to Be a Leader?” Using this text allows you to examine a variety of relevant leadership theories from a single source. Additional resources are also provided to supplement the course text and provide additional perspectives.
This paper should be well organized and cover the following elements.
· Write an introduction that outlines why you are writing this paper.
· Describe unique characteristics of human resource leadership.
· Introduce the unique characteristics of leadership for the human resource professional.
· Explain how leadership theories apply to human resource leadership.
· Select two leadership theories that resonate for you as the foundation for your leadership style and approach and explain their relevance.
· Explain the importance of influence to human resource leadership.
· Provide examples of how you will use this leadership information in your new role as a human resource supervisor.
· Discuss not only how you will lead your team but how this will impact your relationships throughout the organization.
· Write a conclusion that wraps up and summarizes your document.
