Assignment 1: Monitoring Our Home Planet
The Internet is a powerful tool that provides the ability to
monitor natural phenomena and disasters that happen all over
planet Earth.
In this assignment, you will research resources available on the
Internet for monitoring natural phenomena including
earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, global climate, and weather.
Based on your research, do the following:
Identify a minimum of three different natural phenomena that
are typically responsible for natural disasters. Analyze the
potential impact of these disasters.
Analyze how these phenomenon are monitored, or not, via the
Internet. Critique available Web sites, which publicly display
up-to-date monitored information related to each of the natural
phenomena you have identified. Focus on the following aspects:
Geography
What parts of the world are potentially affected by these
phenomena? Specifically identify the countries.

Question 1 The Sydney Harbour Bridge is a well known icon around the world. The Sydney Opera House is about 500m away and from it, the angle of elevation to the top of the bridge is measured as 14°54' (to the nearest minute). The place where this measurement is made is 1m above the water level. On the other side of the harbour bridge, a second reading is taken from the second floor of a building 700m away and 20m above the water level. The angle of elevation is observed to be 9°15' (to the nearest minute). (a) Calculate an estimate of the height of the Harbour Bridge above the water level. (b) Discuss all possible errors in all measurements taken. (c) Give a range for the maximum and minimum height. Question 2 Three dice are thrown and the sum on the faces are recorded. This would give values ranging from 3 (1-1-1) to 18 (6-6-6). The experiment is run 300 times. (a) Either carry out the experiment by rolling 3 dice, 300 times or use Excel to simulate this experiment (Assistance is offered on how to do this in a consultation session if required). (b) Present the data in a table showing the frequency and cumulative frequency columns. (c) Compute the median, upper and lower quartiles (d) Calculate the mean and standard deviation for the results of your experiment either by the use of the stats mode on your calculcator or using excel. (e) Interprete the mean as an area and use Simpson’s Rule with 5 values, to estimate the mean again, (using the median, the quartiles and the upper and lower extremes of 3 and 18). Comment on how accurate this is. Question 3 People often are lost when it comes to knowing how much to they can borrow to buy their homes. Construct a simple spreadsheet application with the following as input variables The interest rate (% pa compounded monthly) The amount to be borrowed. The term in years of the loan. The combined salary of the people buying the house. The output of the calculator should include (a) The monthly repayment for the loan. (b) An estimate of when the loan would be half paid off. (c) The percentage of the combined salary the repayment represents. (d) The total interest paid out over the full term. (e) The increase in repayment per month, should there be a 1% increase in interest rates. (f) The decrease in the term if they switch to fortnightly repayments instead of monthly. Present printouts for the following examples. 1. A couple on $150,000 wanting to borrow $500,000 over 30 years at 4.5% pa 2. A sole income earner on a salary of $80,000 wanting to borrow $200,000 over 25 years at 5% pa 3.

HM502 Unit 5 DQ Topic 1: Infrastructure Protection A detailed discussion of threats to and the process of protecting critical infrastructure and key resources (CI/KR) sectors from man-made and natural disasters are essential for understanding one of the main missions of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). In detailed analysis of threats and protection challenges, several CI/KR sectors have emerged that require the attention of DHS professionals. These sectors include: · Agriculture and Food · Banking and Finance · Communications · Defense Industrial Base · Energy · Information Technology · National Monuments and Icons · Transportation Systems · Water What are some of the major threats to the CI/KR sectors identified above? Discuss some of the critical vulnerabilities of these CI/KR sectors. What are some of the prime consequences if these CI/KR sectors are damaged or destroyed? Describe DHS plans to deter threats, mitigate vulnerabilities, and minimize consequences. Topic 1 Student Response #1 (Respond to Jeffery) Jeffery Bailey Hello classmates/Professor The Homeland Security Act of 2002 provides the basis for Department of Homeland Security (DHS) responsibilities in the protection of the Nation’s CIKR. The act assigns DHS the responsibility for developing a comprehensive national plan for securing CIKR and for recommending the “measures necessary to protect the key resources and critical infrastructure of the United States coordination with other agencies of the Federal Government and in cooperation with State and local government agencies and authorities, the private sector, and other entities. (Chertoff, 2009) The NIPP defines the organizational structures that provide the framework for coordination of CIKR protection efforts at all levels of government, their framework includes the action of setting goals and objectives, Identify Assets, Systems and Networks, Assess Risk, consequences, vulnerabilities, and threats. Prioritize, Implement Programs and Measure effectiveness. The NIPP Conducts research and development and using technology to improve CIKR protection-related capabilities to ensure refined risk assessments for many years into the future. The NIPP assistance programs offers Federal grant assistance to State, local, tribal, and territorial entities; and complement relevant private sector activities. Part of their mission is to make America safer and more secure from cyber attacks and also both man made and natural disasters. Together, the NIPP and SSPs provide the mechanisms for identifying critical assets, systems, and networks, and their associated sectors. In dealing with risk and emergencies the NIPP has Sector Specific Agencies that are assigned certain areas of responsibilities such as Agriculture, Food, Energy and Water. Banking and Finance Communications, in dealing with the potential risk that may befall any of these entities the NIPP takes critical steps to assess, mitigate, protect, and plan for futur ...

Abstract: EMBERS is an anticipatory intelligence system forecasting population-level events in multiple countries of Latin America. A deployed system from 2012, EMBERS has been generating alerts 24x7 by ingesting a broad range of data sources including news, blogs, tweets, machine coded events, currency rates, and food prices. In this paper, we describe our experiences operating EMBERS continuously for nearly 4 years, with specific attention to the discoveries it has enabled, correct as well as missed forecasts, and lessons learnt from participating in a forecasting tournament including our perspectives on the limits of forecasting and ethical considerations.

Abstract: We describe the design, implementation, and evaluation of EMBERS, an automated, 24x7 continuous system for forecasting civil unrest across 10 countries of Latin America using open source indicators such as tweets, news sources, blogs, economic indicators, and other data sources. Unlike retrospective studies, EMBERS has been making forecasts into the future since Nov 2012 which have been (and continue to be) evaluated by an independent T&E team (MITRE). Of note, EMBERS has successfully forecast the June 2013 protests in Brazil and Feb 2014 violent protests in Venezuela. We outline the system architecture of EMBERS, individual models that leverage specific data sources, and a fusion and suppression engine that supports trading off specific evaluation criteria. EMBERS also provides an audit trail interface that enables the investigation of why specific predictions were made along with the data utilized for forecasting. Through numerous evaluations, we demonstrate the superiority of EMBERS over baserate methods and its capability to forecast significant societal happenings.

ENG 132 Evaluation Argument: One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest Spring 2019 An evaluation argument critiques a subject or topic, based on certain criteria or reasons to determine that the topic is good, bad, the best, or the worst. It’s important that the criteria you choose to evaluate your topic sounds reasonable to your audience. If they don’t accept your criteria about what makes your topic good or bad, then it’s doubtful they’ll be persuaded by your argument. Another way to add to your credibility is to acknowledge that there’s something good (or bad) about your subject, even if overall you find your subject bad (or good). Examples of this type of argument might look something like this: Is this the right college or academic degree for me? Was the movie suspenseful, entertaining, worthwhile? Should I wear these clothes? Writers bring focus to their evaluations by revealing the criteria they are using to judge the topic being evaluated. They often present their argument up front, providing readers with a good roadmap of their argument and reasoning. In your essay, you should: Summarize the details Present well-developed support for your criteria Include at least one paragraph representing/reconciling the opposition Discuss the significance of your review After reading the novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, write a brief evaluation essay that both establishes a set of criteria and illustrates them. Essays should be titled, typed, and double-spaced, and they should be a minimum of 2 pages long. If you use any research, please cite it! Running head: ISOL 534 – Application Security 2 Introduction The topic of security has been an issue for many countries and citizens alike as states struggle to root out the vice of insecurity that is posing a significant threat especially during this technological era where everything is virtually done online. Application security is an essential element in internet applications. Application security is the process of making apps secure from cyber-attacks by hackers and other cyber-crime individuals. The process involves identifying, fixing and amplifying the safety of these apps. Since we are in a technological era, application security has become a real concern to generally the whole internet. Internet applications provide a better view for clients in terms of how the information they seek is displayed in webpages and websites. The process is gathering lots of attention as technology keeps on advancing as well as cyber-crimes are still on the rise. Cyber-crime today has focused its attacks on the apps majorly. Therefore, it is vital for the owners of these apps to establish secure connections and enhance enough sustainable security measures such as building and maintain secure firewalls hindering the hackers from having access to their personal information. Cyber-crimes have been on the ri ...
