Problems Faced By Japanese Foreign Investments Relations...Kimberly Thomas
The document discusses problems faced by Japanese foreign investments in the United States, noting that one-sided trade agreements have decreased job opportunities for American workers as Japanese manufacturing plants increasingly move to Asia. This shift in foreign investment from the U.S. to Asia threatens American job markets as it means less job creation and fewer new ventures being started by Japanese companies in the United States. The evolving foreign investment strategies of Japan now prioritize Asian labor markets over the American manufacturing sector.

Develop examples of ethical and privacy concerns associated with data supporting business intelligence efforts.
Instructions
You work for a tourism board at a top destination within the United States that among other tasks, sends information out to potential visitors, performs direct mailing campaigns, solicits newsletter sign ups, and helps drive economic growth by attracting visitors to the destination. The direct mailing team for your organization accomplishes this through email blasts, mailing flyers, and texting campaigns. The address list the organization has in place is seen as a strategic advantage, as it has extensive information about potential and repeat visitors, and has been compiled from various sources over the years.
The organization has recently developed a mobile application and hopes to leverage mobile devices and tablets to help make obtaining information easier for the visitors, as well as collecting more information on patterns of consumer behavior. Since the mobile application will have access to a great deal of personal information belonging to the users (email address, GPS data, phone number, etc.), it has been suggested this information be automatically uploaded to the direct mailing database, and signing them up for various promotional efforts and communications. It had also been suggested there may be an opportunity for the marketing department to partner with the local theme parks and attractions within the area, sharing the databases from each to form one large database to reach more users.
The idea has been presented to the organization's legal counsel for review, as the IT team is fairly certain the end user agreement for the mobile application states the collected information can be reused and sold as needed. The public relations team has taken a different position and feels there is potential for backlash in social media as well as other public outcries should the data be sold to or shared with other organizations, and questions whether the data should even be stored since there are additional pieces of data being collected that have no purposeful use for the tourism board. They have asked for your input on the matter.
The questions they are presenting you with include:
What are the general practices surrounding data collection?
How can privacy violations occur?
Are there any risks, issues, or problems associated with collecting and storing data that isn’t needed now, in the event it may be needed in the future? What information do other organizations collect?
The end user agreement says we CAN collect, reuse, and sell data as needed, but does that mean we should? Is there a level of ethical data collection and storage that we should be considering?
The task:
Record a presentation using the screen sharing Webware/software of your choice (an Internet search will reveal many free options). Your presentation can be recorded with your own voiceover and visuals, just as you would if you we.

When pursuing a story, the document advises finding sources, determining real experts, gathering the essential facts of who, what, when, where, why and how much, considering the story elements and form, and collecting any relevant data.
This document discusses various interactive storytelling tools that can be used for digital journalism. It begins by providing examples of the author's online presence and contact information. It then poses planning questions about utilizing visuals, data, crowdsourcing, mobile opportunities, engagement, social media, and interactivity for digital audiences. Various types of interactive tools are listed, including live coverage, mapping, timelines, multimedia storytelling, data visualization, interactive databases, curation, animation, quizzes, polls and more. Advice is provided on imitating interactive stories, asking the original reporters/developers, reading code, and searching online groups. Examples are given of interactive community brackets and curation tools. Guidance is also offered on learning
This document provides guidance on using unnamed sources in journalism. It discusses when unnamed sources may be appropriate, such as when a source fears for their safety or job. Reporters should verify information from unnamed sources by asking for documentation and other sources who can corroborate the facts. Powerful or eager sources may try to manipulate reporters, so extra scrutiny is needed. Reporters should push sources to go on the record when possible and protect confidentiality only as a last resort.
Data visualization is a useful tool for storytelling that can show trends, changes, outliers, demographics, relationships, and processes in the data. It incorporates elements of time, place, demographics, results, and community input that can be analyzed individually or together. While Flash was once popular, Google Fusion/Maps is now a leading data visualization tool, and learning a new tool involves test driving it, checking tutorials on YouTube, developer blogs, or asking others for help.
This document provides guidance on writing for social media. It recommends tweeting during class at least 3 times using hashtags to discuss the topic. When tweeting, keep messages brief under 140 characters and consider images. Opinions are acceptable for some roles but know your organization's policies. Social media can be used as a reporting tool to find sources and verify information. When breaking news, share verified facts and what is unknown. Hashtags help with search and conversation. Crowdsourcing from social media also benefits reporting. Practice condensing ideas into tweets to improve concise writing. Famous speeches and sayings are shown condensed into tweets.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
