Stephen Pevar, “Chapter 8: Criminal Jurisdiction in Indian Country” (from textbook) Stephen Pevar, “Chapter 9: Civil Jurisdiction in Indian Country” (from textbook) 1 The Religious Environment: Worldview, Ritual, and Communal Status Islam and Conversion The process of conversion to Islam remains on the whole poorly studied in either its social and historical, or affective and personal/psychologi- cal, aspects. Despite the relatively recent and signal contributions of Nehemiah Levtzion I and Richard Bulliet 2 who have advanced inno- va tive classificatory, methodological, and analytical strategies in the framework of comparative and more localized approaches toward Islamization, the complex of problems associated with conversion to Islam still has not drawn sufficient attention from specialists on all "fronts" of Islamization to allow a synthetic treatment of conversion to Islam from either a theoretical or historical perspective. 3 If old notions of forced conversion and the choice of "Islam or the sword" have been abandoned, at least in scholarly literature, little serious analytical work I. See above all the volume Conversion to Islam, ed. Nehemia Levtzion (New YorklLondon: Holmes & Meier Publishers, 1979), and Levtzion's contributions therein, "Toward a Com- parative Study of Islamization" (pp. 1-23) and "Patterns of Islamization in West Africa" (pp. 207-216), as well as his bibliography (pp. 247-265), in which Central and Inner Asia are pre- dictably poorly represented; cf. also his "Conversion under Muslim Domination: A Comparative Study," in Religious Change and Cultural Domination, ed. D. N. Lorenzen (Mexico City: El Colegio de Mexico, 1981), pp. 19-38. 2. See his seminal work, Conversion to Islam in the Medieval Period: An Essay in Quantitative History (Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1979), and more recently his "Process and Status in Conversion and Continuity," introducing Conversion and Continuity: Indigenous Christian Communities in Islamic Lands Eighth to Eighteenth Centuries, ed. Michael Gervers and Ramzi Jibran Bikhazi (Toronto: Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies, 1990), pp. 1-12, and his "Conversion Stories in Early Islam" in the same volume (pp. 123-133). 3. For important theoretical considerations on conversion to Islam in historical surveys see, for example, Marshall Hodgson's The Venture of Islam, vol. 2 (The Expansion of Islam in the 18 Islamization and Native Religion has been done as a means of replacing older models and assumptions of how Islam was adopted and appropriated in specific contexts; nor, in general, have primary sources been tapped or reevaluated with an eye to the particular issue of Islamization. In the case of Inner Asia we are remarkably ill-served with regard to studies of conversion to Islam; specialists on Islam in sub-Saharan Africa and on South Asian Islam4 for instance, have recognized the importance of conv.

Stephanie Wrote: A lean organization understands customer value and focuses its key processes to continuously increase it. The ultimate goal is to provide perfect value to the customer through a perfect value creation process that has zero waste. To accomplish this, lean thinking changes the focus of management from optimizing separate technologies, assets, and vertical departments to optimizing the flow of products and services through entire value streams that flow horizontally across technologies, assets, and departments to customers. Eliminating waste along entire value streams, instead of at isolated points, creates processes that need less human effort, less space, less capital, and less time to make products and services at far less costs and with much fewer defects, compared with traditional business systems. Companies are able to respond to changing customer desires with high variety, high quality, low cost, and with very fast throughput times. Also, information management becomes much simpler and more accurate. A popular misconception is that lean is suited only for manufacturing. Not true. Lean applies in every business and every process. It is not a tactic or a cost reduction program, but a way of thinking and acting for an entire organization. The term "lean" was coined to describe Toyota's business during the late 1980s by a research team headed by Jim Womack, Ph.D., at MIT's International Motor Vehicle Program. Mary Wrote: · What is the lean concept and why is it important to study? With fewer resources lean creates more value for customers. The idea of maximizing customer value while minimizing waste. Lean is important to study because there are so many benefits such as through lean there is a cost benefit. we can increase quality and reliability. Reduce operating costs, boost staff productivity and reduce the length of production cycles. · How can lean be applied to manufacturing and service processes? TOYOTA is the best example of a company that use lean processes and implement them. Toyota is the first major company to use lean ideology in their manufacturing processes. They have eliminated wasted and using techniques to get rid of faulty products that do not interest the customers. They use two processes, one is Jidoka and the other one is JIT or just in time. Jidoka is used to check the quality of the product and can stop the machines themselves down when there is an error. JIT/ just in time leads to the next step once the previous step is finished. https://www.lean.org/whatslean/ https://refinedimpact.com/4-good-examples-of-companies-that-use-lean-manufacturing/ Project Management Processes, Methodologies, and Economics Third Edition Avraham Shtub Faculty of Industrial Engineering and Management The Technion–Israel Institute of Technology Moshe Rosenwein Department of Industrial Engineering and Operations Research Columbia University Boston Columbus San Francisco New York Hoboken Indianapolis London Tor.

Step 2: Attend Meeting with ACME · Read the ACME meeting document to know what was discussed. Step 3: Review Marketing Information on Consumer Buying Behavior · Read all attached step 3 documents to answer questions in step 4. · As you read through the following materials, begin to think about how this information will apply to the report you will prepare for Erik and Tarek. To successfully complete the report, you'll need an understanding of marketing. You’ll also benefit from a keen understanding of digital marketing, consumer buying behavior, and evaluating business attractiveness. · As you conduct your analysis of ACME's consumer environment, remember that there are two types of market research: primary and secondary research. Both types of research are required in real-life, and each of them has its pros and cons. However, for this Project, only secondary research is required. · Finally, to fully understand ACME's position, read about offerings—what a company provides its customers, be it a product, a service, or a mix of both. Also consider the differences between a product and a service. You know that a product can be more than just a physical good, it can be a service attached to a physical product, a "pure" service, an idea, a place, an organization, or even a person. · After you have read these materials, proceed to the next step, where you will begin your analysis of the specified consumer markets Step 4: Conduct a Consumer Buying Behavior Study As previously mentioned, I would like you to conduct an analysis of the consumers in our main markets. Your analysis should consider both current and potential product users and should address the following questions: · What needs are being met by the product purchase? What are the benefits to the consumers? Make sure that you differentiate between features and benefits; go beyond manifest motives and consider latent motives. · Who is involved in the purchase process? Who are the influencers? Who are the buyers? Who are the end users? · Where are the products sold, and what are the distribution channels? · How often are the products purchased? Is there seasonality to sales? I need you to produce a six-page preliminary consumer buying behavior report (excluding cover page, reference list, tables, graphs, and exhibits) explaining your findings on consumer needs, wants, and preferences in these markets. Make sure that your report is specific to consumers of ACME’s potential product and not to consumers in general. Step 5: Complete Your Value Proposition · I wanted to clarify that a customer-focused value proposition explains the reason why a customer purchases a product or uses a service (i.e., the value that a company delivers to its customers). · Deliverable: (complete this part separate from step 2-4) Based on your research of consumer needs in our main markets, describe your value proposition, or the benefits that ACME and its potential new product would provide to customers. Remember.

Step 1 The first step in performing an IT audit that is tied to business strategy is understanding the short-term and long-term goals and objectives of the business. While we expect IT strategies to be aligned to an organization's business strategies, in practice, this is not easy to achieve. The organization typically has made large investments in legacy systems that have been supporting the current business. The organization must balance the maintenance of current business requirements with the need to support longer term strategies, using emerging technologies to improve the competitiveness of the organization. Completing this business audit will ensure that you learn a lot about the business of the organization. To prepare for the audit, read Audits, Internal and Core Competencies. The templates provided for Step 1 will give you a framework for collecting this information. Be sure to ask the following questions: · What are the strategic goals of the organization? · What are the business operational goals? · How do you see your organization in one year, in five years, and beyond? Download and open the Templates_for_Project2_with_Instructions.xlsx file. You will be using this file throughout this project. For optional feedback in Steps 1 and 3, use the following naming protocols: · Step 1 -> Lastname_first name_Project 2_Appx_A1_A2_B_C · Steps 2 and 3 -> Lastname_first name_Project 2_Appx_A1_A2_B_C_D_E_F For the final submission in this project, please use the following naming protocol: · Step 5 -> Lastname_first name_Project 2_Appx_A1_A2_B_C_D_E_F_G_H_I The templates for business objectives in Appendices A1 and A2 will guide your discovery. You should list a minimum of three business objectives that exist for your organization, which will likely vary from these templates. Existing entries in templates A1 and A2 are for illustration purposes only. You should fill in and submit to the assignment folder two tables: Appendix A1 is for short-term goals (one year) and Appendix A2 is for longer term goals (five or more years). See Goal Setting for more information. After you understand your organization's business objectives, you will need to evaluate how well your organization is meeting those objectives. The template in Appendix B will guide you through a quick analysis of overall organizational effectiveness. You may want to ask those in leadership positions how well the organization is performing, but you can also get this information by examining how well the organization is performing according to current operational objectives. Choose a minimum of three organizational effectiveness criteria. Provide a one-sentence description of each measure, along with an overall score on a five-point scale and an explanation of the score you provided. See Effectiveness and Efficiency. Now that you've looked at how well the overall organization is performing, you should evaluate the organization at a lower level. Using the Appendix C template to guide yo.

Strategic Operational Plan Proposal (SOPP) Draft Click here to download the Strategic Operational Plan Proposal (SOPP) template that is needed to complete this deliverable. You are an operations officer for the Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) and you were instructed by the special agent in charge (SAC) of the task force to develop a Strategic Operational Plan Proposal (SOPP) and to have the first draft as detailed as possible for the SAC's review. He gave you this assignment because you already conducted research on numerous sections of the proposal, and you are expected to incorporate your previous work into this outline. For this first draft, the information needs to be clear and concise, with general substantive work. The following scenario gives you the necessary information to complete the SOPP: The al-Qaeda terrorist organization is attempting to infiltrate two cells composed of 12 individuals each into a major metropolitan city in the United States. The al-Qaeda cells are funded by a Russian organized crime faction that is trying to penetrate Chicago, IL and displace Chicago's local syndicate known as The Outfit. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence, through external and internal U.S. sources, identified the Russian organized crime (OC) faction and its methodology of money laundering in 2012 but delayed a response because signal intelligence (SIGINT) identified the OC's relationship with al-Qaeda. The city of Chicago was identified as the terrorist organization's main target, but it is not known how the group will gain access to the United States at this time. The Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) identified that the Russian OC faction is attempting penetration into Chicago's drug, gambling, and prostitution operations for which The Outfit is currently the dominant leader. Chicago police reported three separate assassination-style murders of Russian OC local leaders and attributed the murders to The Outfit. The National Security Agency (NSA) reported SIGINT between the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) and the Miami-based Russian OC syndicate identifying the transfer of two low-yield nuclear devices to Iranian Ministry of Intelligence operatives at the port of Donetsk, Ukraine during the chaos caused by the separatist move from the Ukrainian government, who in turn where identified by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) as having delivered the two nuclear devices to known al-Qaeda operatives with an unknown destination. The Department of Homeland Security (HLS) has increased the U.S. threat level to elevated. The CIA identified, through SIGINT (cell phones, texting, and e-mails), that al-Qaeda obtained numerous canisters of sarin gas (also known as GB) and is intent on using it against the United States in retaliation for its role in the Afghan war. The CIA and Department of Defense, U.S. Northern Command Intelligence identified the possible infiltration points for the al-Qaeda operatives to be along the Mexico/U.S..

Strategic Oversight Congressional oversights has had much of the powers to maintain the budget on various programs for both covert actions and strategic programs, and while not having the right or ability to veto a covert program, they do have the power to influence programs down the road. The “gang of eights” has the ability also to defund certain programs, after influencing others on the congressional intelligence committee. While they are able to do these functions they also, maintain the “security” of programs as well and are able to bring questions and concerns to the president from which findings and covert actions are derived. But many critics have said, the congressional oversight has restricted as well as choked the IC to the point of having ineffective programs due to legislation as well as political banter that goes back and forth between the congressional oversight committee and the other legislators. In most instances as well the congressional oversight issues lie well, within congress. After the 9/11 commissions there were pushes for reforms for both the oversight and the Intelligence Community, but slowly these ideas were abandoned quietly, with a weak and dysfunctional oversight committee. The 9/11 commission outlined various improvements but was not fully enacted by congress. Being in charge of strategic covert actions as well as being the end user, with the potential for legislative issues may very well be a destructible issue for the oversight committee. What does not work is having too many hands involved with too many moving pieces of the intelligence operations. If the intelligence committee is subservient to the executive branch, then there can cause issues with sensitive intelligence operations such as strategic collections and planning, becoming biased from politics as opposed to actual defined intelligence requirements. What does work is ensuring there is not abuse of powers, by the executive branches and the congress. The system without a doubt is not satisfactory; the issues with the lack of communication on various levels between the legislative and executive branches as well as scandals that followed show a chink in the armor that is the oversight committee. As well as the committee having the ability to defund programs, but not only is this a issue, but mostly with the ability to have oversight over the whole IC, leading most agencies becoming redundant with intelligence as well as capabilities. Strategic Oversight2 While the legislative and executive branches share roles within oversight of the intelligence community, the mixture of branches is a disadvantage due to the roles Congress possesses and what the president has. The president carries the primary authority on covert actions while he must notify Congress before the action is carried out. Much of the oversight that Congress receives from the intelligence community is closely held and is often released only to the ‘gang of eight’ rather than the intell.

Strategic Note-taking for Social Sciences Research: QRSTUV Title and Author Question Research Methods Summary of Findings Takeaway Message Unfamiliar Vocabulary Kenneth Gergen, “Together We Construct Our Worlds” P5-12 Since what we consider real is socially constructed, what makes people agree it is real. For example: Before we know tree is tree. What makes people believe it is tree? Observation Gergen argues the most important means of reality maintenance is conversation. It is through conversation that we create social common sense, which is also what makes our world today. For example, if we do not agree on trees as trees, then, there will be no trees. Social Origins of Good and Real: • The ways in which we understand the world is not required by “what there is.” • The ways in which we describe and explain the world are the outcomes of relationship. • Constructions gain their significance from social utility. • Values are created and sustained within forms of life (including science). If everything we consider real is socially constructed, then nothing is real unless people agree that it is. Social Convention : are those arbitrary rules and norms governing the countless behaviors all of us engage in every day without necessarily thinking about them, from shaking hands when greeting someone to driving on the right side of the road. Social Utility : is a service, or characteristic, that benefits the majority of population of any given society.
