Retail Therapy: Calculating intelligent investment & implementation strategie...Bernard E. McKeown
A significant percentage of real estate assets in England and Wales are exposed to a valuation risk as a result of the introduction of Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) under the Energy Act 2011.
MEES will be of concern to those responsible for managing existing debt and new lending. A system capable of identifying and managing risk (and maximising opportunities) will be needed by lending institutions if, as expected, the UK parliament approves the legislation before the election.
Introduction to MEES
The requirement for MEES means the largest landlords in the country are being forced to reassess the energy performance of buildings. Legislation has, for the first time, created a mechanism for valuing energy efficiency.
On 4 February 2015 DECC issued its response to its consultation on MEES and laid before parliament its recommendations: by 1 April 2018 landlords will have to undertake energy efficiency improvements as outlined in regulations. Energy efficiency will be defined by an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), and qualifying improvements must be implemented.
From 1 April 2018 MEES will apply to new lettings and to lease renewals or lease extensions where there is an EPC. From 1 April 2023 it is to apply to all property. The possible effects on valuation differ depending on whether a lease is afforded security of tenure by the Landlord & Tenant Act of 1954 (part II) as amended. Where there is the case and there is an EPC, a property is affected as soon as parliament passes the legislation.
DECC has advised the minimum EPC rating will be an E. If a property has an EPC rating worse than an E then, before it can be let or when its lease is renewed or extended, the landlord will have to get an assessment carried out. Any works that pass one of the two viability tests must be implemented - even if the EPC rating does not subsequently improve.
This has the potential to impact on asset value, as the cost of compliance can be quantified by works identified by an assessor. In addition, it is not only the direct costs of works which needs to be considered but also the indirect costs. It is not always possible to undertake improvements without disruption, especially so in multiple-let buildings. An asset manager may have to start to schedule improvements around the leasing cycle instead of the maintenance cycle and this may have implications in terms of service charge recovery.
How can we help?
CO2 Estates offers an innovative, unique and cost-effective software solution to allow institutions, funds and REITs to manage risk and capitalise on opportunities as a result of MEES.
Our software has been developed over two years working in collaboration with some of the world’s largest REITS. As a result we have developed a solution capable of working at scale to deliver corporate real estate benchmarking, improvement analysis and energy-led retrofit strategies to help maximise the financial performance of large property portfolios

Cyber terrorism, by definition, is the politically motivated use.docxdorishigh
Cyber terrorism, by definition, is the politically motivated use of computers and information technology to cause severe disruption or widespread fear in society. The Center for Strategic and International Studies reported in March 2019 that Chinese Hackers targeted at least 27 Universities to steal Naval Technologies research, being one of many cyber-terrorist attacks. Besides these attacks, Hacktivism is a cyber-attack either by legal or illegal digital means in the pursuit of political ends, free speech, and the right of free speech. A most notable example would be the group Anonymous conducting numerous hacks from 2008 to 2012 against companies, organizations, and even governments that go against their moral codes. Behind the Tunisia Operation in 2010, Anonymous took down eight government websites with DDOS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks in support of Arab Spring movements. Between the two Cyberterrorism is meant to instill fear and panic in society. At the same time, Hacktivism brings about a voice or an opposition to the government and other organizations to support a cause against them. Hacktivism is more politically based, pointing out flaws in the system raising awareness on our rights as human beings. Advances in technology lead to newer and different types of attacks either group can conduct. From viruses waiting for you to log into your bank account to massive-scale attacks against the banks' systems themselves, terrorists, or hacktivists, have infinite ways to infiltrate and attack for their cause. Many laws have been put in place to combat these groups, acts put in place such as Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (CISA) or Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2014 helping share information and build research and development to fight against cyber-attacks. Given the push against both groups by our government, I can't help but feel concern for our rights and freedoms that may be infringed upon that our government or some corporation is doing while combating the whistleblower with Hacktivist tactics. It only keeps me and others mindful while fighting against cyberattacks that may be classified as cyberterrorism. There is a fine line on what would be a genuine noble act of hacking or something labeled as cyberterrorism placing information and lives at risk, its not so black and white as some areas can be considered grey. Thankfully some events in history, thanks to Hacktivism has brought good results that benefit society, such as Operation "Nice" which organized to hunt down the terrorist responsible for attacks in the French city, killing nearly a hundred people. Also, Operation Darknet which infiltrated 40 child pornography websites publishing 1500 plus names of frequent visitors to the sites stopping such activity. In these instances, I am for hacktivism and specific groups that act for the benefit of society and our rights as humans.

Retail Therapy: Calculating intelligent investment & implementation strategie...Bernard E. McKeown
A significant percentage of real estate assets in England and Wales are exposed to a valuation risk as a result of the introduction of Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) under the Energy Act 2011.
MEES will be of concern to those responsible for managing existing debt and new lending. A system capable of identifying and managing risk (and maximising opportunities) will be needed by lending institutions if, as expected, the UK parliament approves the legislation before the election.
Introduction to MEES
The requirement for MEES means the largest landlords in the country are being forced to reassess the energy performance of buildings. Legislation has, for the first time, created a mechanism for valuing energy efficiency.
On 4 February 2015 DECC issued its response to its consultation on MEES and laid before parliament its recommendations: by 1 April 2018 landlords will have to undertake energy efficiency improvements as outlined in regulations. Energy efficiency will be defined by an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), and qualifying improvements must be implemented.
From 1 April 2018 MEES will apply to new lettings and to lease renewals or lease extensions where there is an EPC. From 1 April 2023 it is to apply to all property. The possible effects on valuation differ depending on whether a lease is afforded security of tenure by the Landlord & Tenant Act of 1954 (part II) as amended. Where there is the case and there is an EPC, a property is affected as soon as parliament passes the legislation.
DECC has advised the minimum EPC rating will be an E. If a property has an EPC rating worse than an E then, before it can be let or when its lease is renewed or extended, the landlord will have to get an assessment carried out. Any works that pass one of the two viability tests must be implemented - even if the EPC rating does not subsequently improve.
This has the potential to impact on asset value, as the cost of compliance can be quantified by works identified by an assessor. In addition, it is not only the direct costs of works which needs to be considered but also the indirect costs. It is not always possible to undertake improvements without disruption, especially so in multiple-let buildings. An asset manager may have to start to schedule improvements around the leasing cycle instead of the maintenance cycle and this may have implications in terms of service charge recovery.
How can we help?
CO2 Estates offers an innovative, unique and cost-effective software solution to allow institutions, funds and REITs to manage risk and capitalise on opportunities as a result of MEES.
Our software has been developed over two years working in collaboration with some of the world’s largest REITS. As a result we have developed a solution capable of working at scale to deliver corporate real estate benchmarking, improvement analysis and energy-led retrofit strategies to help maximise the financial performance of large property portfolios

Cyber terrorism, by definition, is the politically motivated use.docxdorishigh
Cyber terrorism, by definition, is the politically motivated use of computers and information technology to cause severe disruption or widespread fear in society. The Center for Strategic and International Studies reported in March 2019 that Chinese Hackers targeted at least 27 Universities to steal Naval Technologies research, being one of many cyber-terrorist attacks. Besides these attacks, Hacktivism is a cyber-attack either by legal or illegal digital means in the pursuit of political ends, free speech, and the right of free speech. A most notable example would be the group Anonymous conducting numerous hacks from 2008 to 2012 against companies, organizations, and even governments that go against their moral codes. Behind the Tunisia Operation in 2010, Anonymous took down eight government websites with DDOS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks in support of Arab Spring movements. Between the two Cyberterrorism is meant to instill fear and panic in society. At the same time, Hacktivism brings about a voice or an opposition to the government and other organizations to support a cause against them. Hacktivism is more politically based, pointing out flaws in the system raising awareness on our rights as human beings. Advances in technology lead to newer and different types of attacks either group can conduct. From viruses waiting for you to log into your bank account to massive-scale attacks against the banks' systems themselves, terrorists, or hacktivists, have infinite ways to infiltrate and attack for their cause. Many laws have been put in place to combat these groups, acts put in place such as Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (CISA) or Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2014 helping share information and build research and development to fight against cyber-attacks. Given the push against both groups by our government, I can't help but feel concern for our rights and freedoms that may be infringed upon that our government or some corporation is doing while combating the whistleblower with Hacktivist tactics. It only keeps me and others mindful while fighting against cyberattacks that may be classified as cyberterrorism. There is a fine line on what would be a genuine noble act of hacking or something labeled as cyberterrorism placing information and lives at risk, its not so black and white as some areas can be considered grey. Thankfully some events in history, thanks to Hacktivism has brought good results that benefit society, such as Operation "Nice" which organized to hunt down the terrorist responsible for attacks in the French city, killing nearly a hundred people. Also, Operation Darknet which infiltrated 40 child pornography websites publishing 1500 plus names of frequent visitors to the sites stopping such activity. In these instances, I am for hacktivism and specific groups that act for the benefit of society and our rights as humans.

A denial-of-service (DoS) is any kind of assault where the assailants (programmers) endeavor to keep real clients from getting to the service.
Programmer sends undesirable high volumes of traffic through the system until it ends up stacked and can never again work.

These threats could been avoided by:
Reinforcing the security frameworks and servers
WAFs (Web Application Firewalls) are an incredible instrument to use against these assaults as they give you more command over your web traffic while perceiving malicious web misuses.
2. Malware
A malware assault is a sort of cyber-attack in which malware or malicious programming performs exercises on the unfortunate casualty's PC system, more often than not without his/her insight.
In straightforward words, it is a code with the expectation to takes information or obliterates something on the PC.

Cyber Security in Industry 4.0
Cyber Security in Industry 4.0 (IEEE) Using Emerging Technology to Improve Compliance As cyber threats, malicious software, and cyber-attacks continue to escalate in sophistication, and no industry can remain immune to these threats. The IEEE has used industry-inspired advances in innovation and implementation to promote the highest level of cybersecurity standards for the most robustly protected information and communication technology infrastructure, from networks and telecommunication systems through websites, digital certificates, and passwords, and other software-based systems (Ardito et al., 2019). This Enhanced Canada Cybersecurity Standards and Certificates (ECCS&C) project strives to provide a common framework for enhanced cybersecurity across all sectors. The fourth industrial revolution is referred to as cybersecurity in Industry 4.0 and is encompassing three discrete components: machine learning, artificial intelligence, and automation.The effects of these four technologies will most certainly impact the processes and processes aspects of technology adoption. Over the next decade, we will most certainly see further and the further rise of robotics (Ardito et al., 2019).
The industrial revolution will begin with smart factory security systems. For now, those systems are secure, but many manufacturers will soon provide safeguards against attack and malware threats to help prevent malware attacks and lawsuits. The processes can look simple like a boiler next to a giant hexagon. For example, all these processes would trigger heating or cooling at some point, and the heating or cooling can be controlled by digital control boxes connected to a smart grid (Shi et al., 2019).
The industrial network will soon have more people connected in more complex networks, such as industrial warehouses. All of these buildings can communicate with each other and can remotely activate or deactivate automation systems to reduce manufacturing costs. The need for the defense, control, and monitoring of systems and networks. The blockchain is the most viable platform for these purposes (Shi et al., 2019). Decentralization is gaining respect and confidence on a global scale, and so there is a renewed emphasis on the blockchain in the industry. There is an abundance of articles on the blockchain's potential and benefits for companies. For example, more than fifty articles are covering the blockchain's potential for authentication, threat modeling, and development of social payment interfaces. Companies are beginning to explore smart contracts and smart systems for security, reputation, and data. All in all, it seems that all the evidence points to blockchain technology as the future of the financial industry (Shi et al., 2019).

BNS301 National Security Ethics and Diversity
How far is it too far when protecting the peoples' rights in cyberspace and its national security? In an ever-evolving cyber world, many states tend to infringe on citizens' cyber information privacy for their own accord. Sometimes governments overstep boundaries and bend the rules to protect the land and overstep the peoples' privacy to enforce rules and regulations. My final paper will analyze rules and regulations within the Cybersecurity realm within the United States. The National Security Strategy is a good guideline on the laws and what the U.S is looking to implement soon. This paper intends not to make conspiracy theories to show facts and existing laws and regulations on how the citizens' privacy has no longer been protected and some examples of historical events. (Snowden) had an ethical dilemma when he made his decisions. My paper will include my opinions and the bullet points below to construct a good argument on how the U.S can protect its citizens' privacy.

BERNICE BOBS HER HAIR
by
F. Scott Fitzgerald
After dark on Saturday night one could stand on the first tee
of the golf-course and see the country-club windows as a
yellow expanse over a very black and wavy ocean. The
waves of this ocean, so to speak, were the heads of many
curious caddies, a few of the more ingenious chauffeurs, the
golf professional's deaf sister--and there were usually several
stray, diffident waves who might have rolled inside had they
so desired. This was the gallery.
The balcony was inside. It consisted of the circle of wicker
chairs that lined the wall of the combination clubroom and
ballroom. At these Saturday-night dances it was largely
feminine; a great babel of middle-aged ladies with sharp eyes
and icy hearts behind lorgnettes and large bosoms. The main
function of the balcony was critical. It occasionally showed
grudging admira.

Social Networking Channels
Thomas Lamonte Esters
Independence University
29 September 2018
SOCIAL NETWORKING CHANNELS 1
I dislike social networking sites because of the dangerous hazards connected to it.
The ProCon article vividly describes the numerous benefits that are attached to the social networking sites such as connecting people, enhancing advertising and marketing, promoting research and education, assisting to spread information faster as compared to other media, connecting employers and employees and assisting the government to identify and prosecute criminals. These are just a few examples that the article illustrates to support the necessity of the social networking sites in the society today. According to the article, the social networking channels have significantly transformed different sectors such as businesses for the better since they can sell their products and services globally (Procon.org, 2018).
However, the detrimental effects connected with the social networking channels are also numerous and most of them may lead to permanent damage to our lives. It is very clear that the education is the backbone of our lives and also the key to success. Currently, about 69% of the American population use social media channels which is a drastic increase in the usage from 2008 where about 26% of the Americans were connected to the social media (Procon.org, 2018). Most of the social networking sites users are the youths who are in their lower grade level, colleges or even universities. The research shows that using social media when handling assignments decreases the quality of work and makes the students drop in their performance. Education is a core value to a successful life and allowing social media to intrude in the academics will be detrimental since it will lead to the production of incompetent individuals who may end up causing problems in the society (Rowell, 2015).
Moreover, the social media channels expose individuals’ to privacy problems and intrusion by any interested parties. In fact, nothing which is shared in the social media channels is private. According to the survey conducted, 81% of the people surveyed believed that social media is insecure. The government through the NSA (National Security Agencies) intrudes to people’s data and communication in social media meaning that their private information ends up in the hands of the government. Many people do not know about social media privacy settings and this means that they leave their social media accounts prone to invasion (Procon.org, 2018). Viruses such as Steck. Evl can also be propagated via the social media to cause harm to the users. Most of these viruses are spies and send users priv.

INTRODUCTION
Background
In contrast to Walmart’s ability in maintaining leadership as a multinational retail aiming sustainability,
corporate philanthropy and employment opportunity, the company is falling behind in terms of customer
service satisfaction. Despite to the effort of Walmart’s executives throughout these years, in building a better
relationship with their customers, it seems they remain still unsuccessful. This can be measured as their
satisfaction rating levels are still extremely low when compared to other businesses in the same industry. Per
the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) annual ranking for 2016, Walmart, “still between one of
the 10 companies with the worst customer satisfaction”. (Tim Denman-March 01, 2016)
Since we all recognize the crucial importance that represents to any business keeping their customers happy,
not only with the price of the product but most important with the service provided. I will create a training
plan mainly focused in the delivery of effective customer service practices for all Walmart customer services
associates. This training program will provide to all Walmart’s new hires and current associates the
opportunity of not only learning, but also expanding, reinforcing and creating consistency of their knowledge
on how to deal with customers in different situations. How to improve happiness for the customers while
shopping and how to improve the associate’s customer service attitude and efficiency with the goal of
offering an outstanding service. Ultimately, to achieve delivering an enjoyable shopping experience to all
Walmart’s clients. This training will be presented in five different modules; each module will represent a
fundamental aspect inside of customer service job in order to make the associates.

the template for the final
report is on the last pages
Below are the instructions
Since you have become familiar with the foundations of cloud computing technologies, along with their risks and the legal and compliance issues, you will now explore cloud offerings of popular cloud providers and evaluate them to recommend one that would be the best fit for BallotOnline.
In this project, you will first learn about networking in the cloud and auxiliary cloud services provided by cloud vendors. Next, you will explore cloud computing trends, best practices, and issues involved in migrating IT deployments to the cloud, as well as typical architectures of cloud deployments. Then, you will apply your findings to propose a general architecture for BallotOnline’s cloud deployment to best address the company’s business requirements.
Once you have selected a deployment architecture, you will research two leading cloud vendors: Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure. Exploring and comparing the tools available for application migration will enable you to recommend a vendor to the executives in your final report. The final deliverable is a written report to BallotOnline management, describing the results of your research and recommending the cloud deployment architecture and the vendor for its deployment, with justification.
Your final report should demonstrate that you understand the IT needs of the organization as you evaluate and select cloud providers. The report should include your insights on the appropriate direction to take to handle the company’s IT business needs. You will also be assessed on the ability to integrate relevant risk, policy, and compliance consideration into the recommendations, as well as the clarity of your writing and a demonstration of logical, step-by-step decision making to formulate and justify your ideas.

Introduction to CRM
Customer relationship management (CRM) is an approach to manage a company's interaction with current and potential customers
It’s seen as both an organizational strategy & information technology
Takes form in various systems and applications
Builds sustainable long-term customer relationships that create value for both the company and it’s customers
Contributes to customer retention & expansion of their relationships with advantageous existing customers
Obtains new customers
3
It uses data analysis about customers' history with a company to improve business relationships with customers, specifically focusing on customer retention and ultimately driving sales growth.
CRM helps companies acquire new customers and retain and expand their relationships with profitable existing customers. Retaining customers is particularly important because repeat customers are the largest generator of revenue for an enterprise. Also, organizations have long understood that winning back a customer who has switched to a competitor is vastly more expensive than keeping that customer satisfied in the first place.
The goal is simple: Improve business relationships. A CRM system helps companies stay connected to customers, streamline processes, and improve profitability.
Objectives
Who is CRM for?
Large businesses
Small businesses
Customers of both types of businesses listed above
4
Key Features:
stay connected to customers
streamline processes
provide visibility & easy access to data
improve efficiency & profitability
How does CRM benefit businesses?
Provides a clear overview of your customers
Can be used as both a sales and marketing tool
Contributes information from HR → Customer service → Supply-chain management
A CRM system gives eve#ryone — from sales, customer service, business development, recruiting, marketing, or any other line of business — a better way to manage the external interactions and relationships that drive success. A CRM tool lets you store customer and prospect contact information, identify sales opportunities, record service issues, and manage marketing campaigns, all in one central location — and make information about every customer interaction available to anyone at your company who might need it.
Some of the biggest gains in productivity can come from moving beyond CRM as a sales and marketing tool, and embedding it in your business – from HR to customer services and supply-chain management.

Custom Vans Inc. Custom Vans Inc. specializes in converting st.docxdorishigh
Custom Vans Inc. Custom Vans Inc
. specializes in converting standard vans into campers. Depending on the amount of work and customizing to be done, the customizing could cost less than $1,000 to more than $5,000. In less than four years, Tony Rizzo was able to expand his small operation in Gary, Indiana, to other major outlets in Chicago, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, and Detroit.
Innovation was the major factor in Tony’ s success in converting a small van shop into one of the largest and most profitable custom van operations in the Midwest. Tony seemed to have a special ability to design and develop unique features and devices that were always in high demand by van owners. An example was Shower-Rific, which Tony developed only six months after he started Custom Vans Inc. These small showers were completely self-contained, and they could be placed in almost any type of van and in a number of different locations within a van. Shower-Rific was made of fiberglass and contained towel racks, built-in soap and shampoo holders, and a unique plastic door. Each Shower-Rific took 2 gallons of fiberglass and 3 hours of labor to manufacture.
Most of the Shower-Rifics were manufactured in Gary, in the same warehouse where Custom Vans Inc. was founded. The manufacturing plant in Gary could produce 300 Shower-Rifics in a month, but that capacity never seemed to be enough. Custom Vans shops in all locations were complaining about not getting enough Shower-Rifics, and because Minneapolis was farther away from Gary than the other locations, Tony was always inclined to ship Shower-Rifics to the other locations before Minneapolis. This infuriated the manager of Custom Vans at Minneapolis, and after many heated discussions, Tony decided to start another manufacturing plant for Shower-Rifics at Fort Wayne, Indiana.
The manufacturing plant at Fort Wayne could produce 150 Shower-Rifics per month. The manufacturing plant at Fort Wayne was still not able to meet current demand for Shower-Rifics, and Tony knew that the demand for his unique camper shower would grow rapidly in the next year. After consulting with his lawyer and banker, Tony concluded that he should open two new manufacturing plants as soon as possible. Each plant would have the same capacity as the Fort Wayne manufacturing plant. An initial investigation into possible manufacturing locations was made, and Tony decided that the two new plants should be located in Detroit, Michigan; Rockford, Illinois; or Madison, Wisconsin. Tony knew that selecting the best location for the two new manufacturing plants would be difficult. Transportation costs and demands for the various locations were important considerations.
The Chicago shop was managed by Bill Burch. This Custom Vans shop was one of the first established by Tony, and it continued to outperform the other locations. The manufacturing plant at Gary was supplying the Chicago shop with 200 Shower-Rifics each month, although Bill knew that the demand for the.

This week you will complete the following activities:
1. Read chapter 11 pages 340-364 in our text.
2. Read chapter 8 in our text.
3. read Anna Quindlen's article "Playing God on No Sleep."
4. Respond to the topics on foot binding and FGM; if you
would like to, as they are not mandatory.
5. Your second assignment, the Web review, is due.
1) Read our text pages 340-364, including the famous article by
feminist Gloria Steinem called "If Men Could Menstruate"
(pages 346-347). Tell what you think would be the
consequences for women's health if women had greater control
of their own health issues/bodies. What factors affect their
control? How might this control be increased? What concerns
38. could arise in the future? Have you ever had any encounter with
the women's health issues mentioned in this chapter?
2) Read the article by Anna Quindlen called "Playing God on
No Sleep" and also chapter 8 in our textbook. Discuss some of
the realities and myths of motherhood that have affected your
family. What are some of the sources from which a woman in
the United States learns how to be a mother? (if you are not
from the US, then tell about where in the country you came
from). What changes do you hope for and what changes do you
expect in mothering in the next century? LINK HERE FOR
STORY>> http://www.fact.on.ca/news/news0107/nw010702.htm
3) Foot binding was a practice used in China to create beautiful
feet in upper class women. Since we need our feet to do hard
work, bound feet (lotus feet) were a sign of being wealthy and
meant that a young girl could make a good match. Therefore,
mothers were eager to prolong the practice to provide a good
future for their daughters. Another side effect is that a woman
could no longer run fast (escape!) or carry heavy weights,
obvious benefits to the husband. Foot binding was outlawed in
China by the Communist Revolution, ironically, not because it
was cruel and inhumane, but because it was a sign of wealth!
There are only a few survivors of the practice around today.

4) FGM is practiced to show a woman's chastity, and to prevent
her from straying outside the home. In the countries where it is
practiced, one man often has many wives, since infant mortality
is high and many children are needed to ensure the survival of
the family (and the species). Some people compare it to
circumcision in males, which was also performed to control
men's sexuality (less masturbation). Is it comparable? Millions
of women each year undergo this treatment in poor and rich
countries alike. Unicef reports these statistics. LINK
