Cyber terrorism, by definition, is the politically motivated use.docx
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.

Cyber Security in Industry 4.0Cyber Security in Industry 4.0 (.docx
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).

Abstract
Internet of Things (IoT) devices are rapidly becoming ubiquitous while IoT
services are becoming pervasive. Their success has not gone unnoticed and
the number of threats and attacks against IoT devices and services are on the
increase as well. Cyber-attacks are not new to IoT, but as IoT will be deeply
interwoven in our lives and societies, it is becoming necessary to step up
and take cyber defense seriously. Hence, there is a real need to secure IoT,
which has consequently resulted in a need to comprehensively understand the
threats and attacks on IoT infrastructure. This paper is an attempt to classify
threat types, besides analyze and characterize intruders and attacks facing IoT
devices and services.
Keywords: Internet of Things, Cyber-attack, Security threats.
1 Introduction
The recent rapid development of the Internet of Things (IoT) [1, 2] and its
ability to offer different types of services have made it the fastest growing
technology, with huge impact on social life and business environments. IoT has

gradually permeated all aspects of modern human life, such as education,
healthcare, and business, involving the storage of sensitive information about
individuals and companies, financial data transactions, product development
and marketing.
The vast diffusion of connected devices in the IoT has created enormous
demand for robust security in response to the growing demand of millions or
perhaps billions of connected devices and services worldwide [3–5].
The number of threats is rising daily, and attacks have been on the increase
in both number and complexity. Not only is the number of potential attackers
along with the size of networks growing, but the tools available to potential
attackers are also becoming more sophisticated, efficient and effective [6, 7].
Therefore, for IoT to achieve fullest potential, it needs protection against
threats and vulnerabilities [8].
Security has been defined as a process to protect an object against physical
damage, unauthorized access, theft, or loss, by maintaining high confidential-
ity and integrity of information about the object and making information about
that object available whenever needed [7, 9]. According to Kizza [7] there is no
thing as the secure state of any object, tangible or not, because no such object
can ever be in a perfectly secure state and still be useful. An object is secure if
the process can maintain its maximum intrinsic value under different condi-
tions. S.

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.
· National Security Strategy
· Cyber laws within the United States
· Privacy Laws
· Phone settings
· Phone Companies and laws sharing information to the government
· Internal agencies search and espionage laws

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.

In straightforward words, it is a code with the expectation to takes information or obliterates something on the PC.

Company and summary of how the threat affected the firm
Onslow Water and Sewer Authority (OWASA) on October 15, 2018, was assaulted by Ryuk ransomware making huge harm to the association's system and brought about various databases and systems being modified starting from the group up.
The ransomware corrupted vast quantities of endpoints and requested higher payments than what we ordinarily observe (15 to 50 Bitcoins).

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).

Abstract
Internet of Things (IoT) devices are rapidly becoming ubiquitous while IoT
services are becoming pervasive. Their success has not gone unnoticed and
the number of threats and attacks against IoT devices and services are on the
increase as well. Cyber-attacks are not new to IoT, but as IoT will be deeply
interwoven in our lives and societies, it is becoming necessary to step up
and take cyber defense seriously. Hence, there is a real need to secure IoT,
which has consequently resulted in a need to comprehensively understand the
threats and attacks on IoT infrastructure. This paper is an attempt to classify
threat types, besides analyze and characterize intruders and attacks facing IoT
devices and services.
Keywords: Internet of Things, Cyber-attack, Security threats.
1 Introduction
The recent rapid development of the Internet of Things (IoT) [1, 2] and its
ability to offer different types of services have made it the fastest growing
technology, with huge impact on social life and business environments. IoT has

gradually permeated all aspects of modern human life, such as education,
healthcare, and business, involving the storage of sensitive information about
individuals and companies, financial data transactions, product development
and marketing.
The vast diffusion of connected devices in the IoT has created enormous
demand for robust security in response to the growing demand of millions or
perhaps billions of connected devices and services worldwide [3–5].
The number of threats is rising daily, and attacks have been on the increase
in both number and complexity. Not only is the number of potential attackers
along with the size of networks growing, but the tools available to potential
attackers are also becoming more sophisticated, efficient and effective [6, 7].
Therefore, for IoT to achieve fullest potential, it needs protection against
threats and vulnerabilities [8].
Security has been defined as a process to protect an object against physical
damage, unauthorized access, theft, or loss, by maintaining high confidential-
ity and integrity of information about the object and making information about
that object available whenever needed [7, 9]. According to Kizza [7] there is no
thing as the secure state of any object, tangible or not, because no such object
can ever be in a perfectly secure state and still be useful. An object is secure if
the process can maintain its maximum intrinsic value under different condi-
tions. S.

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.
· National Security Strategy
· Cyber laws within the United States
· Privacy Laws
· Phone settings
· Phone Companies and laws sharing information to the government
· Internal agencies search and espionage laws

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.

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.docx
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.

Curve-fitting Project - Linear Model (due at the end of Week 5)
Instructions
For this assignment, collect data exhibiting a relatively linear trend, find the line of best fit, plot the data and the line, interpret the slope, and use the linear equation to make a prediction. Also, find r2 (coefficient of determination)
and r (correlation coefficient). Discuss your findings. Your topic may be that is related to sports, your work, a hobby, or something you find interesting. If you choose, you may use the suggestions described below.
A Linear Model Example and Technology Tips are provided in separate documents.
Tasks for Linear Regression Model (LR)
(LR-1) Describe your topic, provide your data, and cite your source. Collect at least 8 data points. Label appropriately. (Highly recommended: Post this information in the Linear Model Project discussion as well as in your completed project. Include a brief informative description in the title of your posting. Each student must use different data.)
The idea with the discussion posting is two-fold: (1) To share your interesting project idea with your classmates, and (2) To give me a chance to give you a brief thumbs-up or thumbs-down about your proposed topic and data. Sometimes students get off on the wrong foot or misunderstand the intent of the project, and your posting provides an opportunity for some feedback. Remark: Students may choose similar topics, but must have different data sets. For example, several students may be interested in a particular Olympic sport, and that is fine, but they must collect different data, perhaps from different events or different gender.
(LR-2) Plot the points (x, y) to obtain a scatterplot. Use an appropriate scale on the horizontal and vertical axes and be sure to label carefully. Visually judge whether the data points exhibit a relatively linear trend. (If so, proceed. If not, try a different topic or data set.)
(LR-3) Find the line of best fit (regression line) and graph it on the scatterplot. State the equation of the line. (LR-4) State the slope of the line of best fit. Carefully interpret the meaning of the slope in a sentence or two.
(LR-5) Find and state the value of r2, the coefficient of determination, and r, the correlation coefficient. Discuss your findings in a few sentences. Is r positive or negative? Why? Is a line a good curve to fit to this data? Why or why not? Is the linear relationship very strong, moderately strong, weak, or nonexistent?
(LR-6) Choose a value of interest and use the line of best fit to make an estimate or prediction. Show calculation work.
(LR-7) Write a brief narrative of a paragraph or two. Summarize your findings and be sure to mention any aspect of the linear model project (topic, data, scatterplot, line, r, or estimate, etc.) that you found particularly important or interesting.
You may submit all of your project in one document or a combination of documents, which may consist of word processing documents or sprea.

curriculum and Islamic values
Abstract
This paper attempts to propose ways to merge Islamic values in English textbooks and teaching methods in the secondary stage. These values include: optimizing the use of instructional materials to contain Islamic values, as well as preparing teachers to be with multiple efficiencies. Furthermore, this paper includes the teaching of English materials in a context that is compatible with Islamic objectives. By doing so, Saudi Students can maintain their Islamic identity and values. Moreover, this integration of Islamic teachings in textbooks would protect students of the split personalities that occur when Muslim youths learn English from textbooks that are heavily full of Western values. Simultaneously, Saudi Students in youth age will have English competence as a fort fortified to encounter their future.
1 Introduction
One day, I had a class titled as "They said, we said" and the lesson was designed inappropriately for Muslim students. In the coursework, there were pictures representing a group of people in a coffee shop named "The gossip café". In the picture, the group of people is shown talking and laughing in an inappropriate way. When I wanted to extract the Islamic aspects in the picture, I felt that there was something wrong. Nevertheless, I continued talking to my students about backbiting. I said that we should not listen to what others say about people, as it is extremely against the teachings of our religion. However, a student named Ahlam stopped me and said that this thing is being done mostly by all students, and she thought it is normal because everyone has the right to talk freely about whomever he/she wants. A year after the incident took place, I had been admitted to complete a Master’s degree. In one of his classes, professor Abdullah asked us a question "What is the role of you as English student to serve Islam?" at the same time, I remembered my student, Ahlam, who was the main rational reason to select this topic. My reasoning for this quick memory was an entrance to this research.
As Kachru's divided (1985, 1992),Saudi Arabia is considered one of the Expanding Circle countries where English is used as a foreign language. Saudi Arabia devoted great attention to English teaching and training. However, such efforts faced enormous resistance by people in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia who think that English is still carrying Judeo-Christian values and Western beliefs(Karmani, 2005a; b; c as cited in Alshammari,2015,366).Therefore, Ratnawati (2005) said that one of the point convergence.
Currently, I feel that the current number one most pressing issu.docx
Currently, I feel that the current number one most pressing issue regarding homeland security is boarder patrol. This is because of the COVID-19 Virus that has reached a pandemic phase within the country. I do feel fair to say that I feel the pressing issue with homeland security changes constantly with society and what is transpiring within society. My suggestion as a remedy would be to follow suit of what Japan did in the pandemic of influenza in 2009, within their country. “In the early stages of Pandemic (H1N1) 2009, border control measures were taken by quarantine stations to block the entry of infected individuals into Japan and community containment measures were implemented to prevent the spreading” (Sakaguchi, Tsunoda, Wada, Ohta, Kawashima, Yoshino, & Aizawa, 2012, para. 4). Later still facing the virus they added additional measures to the boarder control process to insure their country the best measures were being taken. “For entry screening, a health declaration form and an infrared thermoscanner were used to detect symptomatic passengers. Passengers indicated for the rapid influenza test underwent the test followed by RT-PCR. Patients positive for H1N1 were isolated, and close contacts were quarantined” (Skaguchi, et al., para. 6). As people are still continuing to travel not necessarily for a need but a desire, I feel this would decrease the chances of the spread of COVID.
The course did not change my mind or opinion about homeland security, however; it did teach me additional knowledge of departments that had not even imagined that were related to homeland security. One in particular is the EPA, I found out that in a true disaster water of course is a resource that we cannot live without, so it is imperative for the protection of our resources. “As a part of critical infrastructure, they become more than water plants but targets for the terrorist” (Nemeth, 2016, p. 467). I feel that society does not appreciate that we actually have running water and cannot survive without that luxury. I know many that know how to utilize natural water for survival and will be fine, however; I also know many that would die within the timeframe of dehydration setting in.
I honestly feel that my aha moment came from the knowledge of the preparedness that the department of homeland security attempts to take. I was very impressed with their tactical measures of being willing and ready for all occurrences. However; we all know you cannot be prepared for everything, but they are attempting to follow God’s instructions of being prepared for your enemy. 1 Corinthians 16:13 (King James Version) is a good example of being prepared “Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.”

Assignment #2
Based on the Field Trip to Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park
What: Write a 2-3 page analysis paper
Topic: An analysis centered on your apprehension of the art in the park environment and the ideas expressed in the papers by Rudy Arnheim (1999), and Martin (1978).
How are “the demands of physical reality [the reality system] and those of visual apprehension…both satisfied?”
How do the two systems interact with each other?
Couple these ideas with those of Martin that sculpture almost “begs” us to touch it—and you can, at Pyramid Hill, unlike most museums containing sculpture.
Relate your analysis to an identification of the point of entry provided by the sculptures for you the viewer, as discussed in class.
Due date: Monday, Apr. 15, to the Isidore site, 11:00 p.m.

Social Networking Channels
Thomas Lamonte Esters
Independence University

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.docx
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.

Curve-fitting Project - Linear Model (due at the end of Week 5)I.docx
Curve-fitting Project - Linear Model (due at the end of Week 5)
Instructions
For this assignment, collect data exhibiting a relatively linear trend, find the line of best fit, plot the data and the line, interpret the slope, and use the linear equation to make a prediction. Also, find r2 (coefficient of determination)
and r (correlation coefficient). Discuss your findings. Your topic may be that is related to sports, your work, a hobby, or something you find interesting. If you choose, you may use the suggestions described below.
A Linear Model Example and Technology Tips are provided in separate documents.
Tasks for Linear Regression Model (LR)
(LR-1) Describe your topic, provide your data, and cite your source. Collect at least 8 data points. Label appropriately. (Highly recommended: Post this information in the Linear Model Project discussion as well as in your completed project. Include a brief informative description in the title of your posting. Each student must use different data.)
The idea with the discussion posting is two-fold: (1) To share your interesting project idea with your classmates, and (2) To give me a chance to give you a brief thumbs-up or thumbs-down about your proposed topic and data. Sometimes students get off on the wrong foot or misunderstand the intent of the project, and your posting provides an opportunity for some feedback. Remark: Students may choose similar topics, but must have different data sets. For example, several students may be interested in a particular Olympic sport, and that is fine, but they must collect different data, perhaps from different events or different gender.
(LR-2) Plot the points (x, y) to obtain a scatterplot. Use an appropriate scale on the horizontal and vertical axes and be sure to label carefully. Visually judge whether the data points exhibit a relatively linear trend. (If so, proceed. If not, try a different topic or data set.)
(LR-3) Find the line of best fit (regression line) and graph it on the scatterplot. State the equation of the line. (LR-4) State the slope of the line of best fit. Carefully interpret the meaning of the slope in a sentence or two.
(LR-5) Find and state the value of r2, the coefficient of determination, and r, the correlation coefficient. Discuss your findings in a few sentences. Is r positive or negative? Why? Is a line a good curve to fit to this data? Why or why not? Is the linear relationship very strong, moderately strong, weak, or nonexistent?
(LR-6) Choose a value of interest and use the line of best fit to make an estimate or prediction. Show calculation work.
(LR-7) Write a brief narrative of a paragraph or two. Summarize your findings and be sure to mention any aspect of the linear model project (topic, data, scatterplot, line, r, or estimate, etc.) that you found particularly important or interesting.
You may submit all of your project in one document or a combination of documents, which may consist of word processing documents or sprea.

curriculum and Islamic values
Abstract
This paper attempts to propose ways to merge Islamic values in English textbooks and teaching methods in the secondary stage. These values include: optimizing the use of instructional materials to contain Islamic values, as well as preparing teachers to be with multiple efficiencies. Furthermore, this paper includes the teaching of English materials in a context that is compatible with Islamic objectives. By doing so, Saudi Students can maintain their Islamic identity and values. Moreover, this integration of Islamic teachings in textbooks would protect students of the split personalities that occur when Muslim youths learn English from textbooks that are heavily full of Western values. Simultaneously, Saudi Students in youth age will have English competence as a fort fortified to encounter their future.
1 Introduction
One day, I had a class titled as "They said, we said" and the lesson was designed inappropriately for Muslim students. In the coursework, there were pictures representing a group of people in a coffee shop named "The gossip café". In the picture, the group of people is shown talking and laughing in an inappropriate way. When I wanted to extract the Islamic aspects in the picture, I felt that there was something wrong. Nevertheless, I continued talking to my students about backbiting. I said that we should not listen to what others say about people, as it is extremely against the teachings of our religion. However, a student named Ahlam stopped me and said that this thing is being done mostly by all students, and she thought it is normal because everyone has the right to talk freely about whomever he/she wants. A year after the incident took place, I had been admitted to complete a Master’s degree. In one of his classes, professor Abdullah asked us a question "What is the role of you as English student to serve Islam?" at the same time, I remembered my student, Ahlam, who was the main rational reason to select this topic. My reasoning for this quick memory was an entrance to this research.
As Kachru's divided (1985, 1992),Saudi Arabia is considered one of the Expanding Circle countries where English is used as a foreign language. Saudi Arabia devoted great attention to English teaching and training. However, such efforts faced enormous resistance by people in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia who think that English is still carrying Judeo-Christian values and Western beliefs(Karmani, 2005a; b; c as cited in Alshammari,2015,366).Therefore, Ratnawati (2005) said that one of the point convergence.
Currently, I feel that the current number one most pressing issu.docx
Currently, I feel that the current number one most pressing issue regarding homeland security is boarder patrol. This is because of the COVID-19 Virus that has reached a pandemic phase within the country. I do feel fair to say that I feel the pressing issue with homeland security changes constantly with society and what is transpiring within society. My suggestion as a remedy would be to follow suit of what Japan did in the pandemic of influenza in 2009, within their country. “In the early stages of Pandemic (H1N1) 2009, border control measures were taken by quarantine stations to block the entry of infected individuals into Japan and community containment measures were implemented to prevent the spreading” (Sakaguchi, Tsunoda, Wada, Ohta, Kawashima, Yoshino, & Aizawa, 2012, para. 4). Later still facing the virus they added additional measures to the boarder control process to insure their country the best measures were being taken. “For entry screening, a health declaration form and an infrared thermoscanner were used to detect symptomatic passengers. Passengers indicated for the rapid influenza test underwent the test followed by RT-PCR. Patients positive for H1N1 were isolated, and close contacts were quarantined” (Skaguchi, et al., para. 6). As people are still continuing to travel not necessarily for a need but a desire, I feel this would decrease the chances of the spread of COVID.
The course did not change my mind or opinion about homeland security, however; it did teach me additional knowledge of departments that had not even imagined that were related to homeland security. One in particular is the EPA, I found out that in a true disaster water of course is a resource that we cannot live without, so it is imperative for the protection of our resources. “As a part of critical infrastructure, they become more than water plants but targets for the terrorist” (Nemeth, 2016, p. 467). I feel that society does not appreciate that we actually have running water and cannot survive without that luxury. I know many that know how to utilize natural water for survival and will be fine, however; I also know many that would die within the timeframe of dehydration setting in.
I honestly feel that my aha moment came from the knowledge of the preparedness that the department of homeland security attempts to take. I was very impressed with their tactical measures of being willing and ready for all occurrences. However; we all know you cannot be prepared for everything, but they are attempting to follow God’s instructions of being prepared for your enemy. 1 Corinthians 16:13 (King James Version) is a good example of being prepared “Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.”

Assignment #2
Based on the Field Trip to Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park
What: Write a 2-3 page analysis paper
Topic: An analysis centered on your apprehension of the art in the park environment and the ideas expressed in the papers by Rudy Arnheim (1999), and Martin (1978).
How are “the demands of physical reality [the reality system] and those of visual apprehension…both satisfied?”
How do the two systems interact with each other?
Couple these ideas with those of Martin that sculpture almost “begs” us to touch it—and you can, at Pyramid Hill, unlike most museums containing sculpture.
Relate your analysis to an identification of the point of entry provided by the sculptures for you the viewer, as discussed in class.

Wound healing PPT
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
