Faster Computing was impressed with your presentation. The company is interested in moving forward with the project, but the senior management team has responded to the presentation with the following questions and concerns: (12.3.2: Describe the implementation of controls.) How will security be implemented in the Linux systems—both workstations and servers? (10.1.2: Gather project requirements to meet stakeholder needs.) End users have expressed some concern about completing their day-to-day tasks on Linux. How would activities such as web browsing work? How would they work with their previous Microsoft Office files? (12.4.1: Document how IT controls are monitored.) The current Windows administrators are unsure about administering Linux systems. How are common tasks, such as process monitoring and management, handled in Linux? How does logging work? Do we have event logs like we do in Windows? (2.3.2: Incorporate relevant evidence to support the position.) Some folks in IT raised questions about the Linux flavor that was recommended. They would like to see comparisons between your recommendation and a couple of other popular options. What makes your recommendation the best option? (10.1.3: Define the specifications of the required technologies.) How does software installation work on Linux? Can we use existing Windows software? How can Linux work together with the systems that will continue to run Windows? How will we share files between the different system types? The deliverable for this phase of the project is a memo. There is no minimum or maximum page requirement, but all of the questions must be fully answered with sufficient detail. The recommended format is to respond to the questions in a bulleted format. Provide sufficient detail to fully address the questions. You must cite at least two quality sources. (1.2.3: Explain specialized terms or concepts to facilitate audience comprehension.) Create a memorandum template with a header of your own design or choosing, brief introduction, addresses Faster Computing, Inc's questions, and summarizes your position on adopting the specific version of Linux. (1.4.3: Write concise and logical sentences in standard academic English that clarify relationships among concepts and ideas.) Your memorandum should not include spelling or grammatical errors. Any Linux commands must be displayed in lower case. Information technology acronyms (e.g., SSH or FTP) should be explained for the reader. .

Faster Computing was impressed with your presentation. The company is interested in moving
forward with the project, but the senior management team has responded to the presentation with
the following questions and concerns:
IMPORTANT: follow these instructions
your claims need credibility, The NIST docs will get you there.
they need assurance, what apps can they expect
They had an old way of doing business, is the new way you are suggesting manageable?
is your company a solution ? if youre telling them they will have to figure out, then your offering
is zero value.
Style: write in third person, no "I" or "we"; "...a study was performed...."
Use the bullet separators in your formatting
Use IEEE reference style
Security: use NIST SP800-53
Think Open Office or Libre for Windows apps
Log files, look at NIST SP800-92
Different types of linux, "keyword linux distros"

The company is specifically interested in seeing the following information:
(10.1.1: Identify the problem to be solved.)
· Based on your current understanding of Faster Computing's business, what are some potential benefits of Linux?
· The company is aware that many different Linux derivatives exist. Be very specific and choose only one version (e.g., Ubuntu, Mint, Zorin, Redhat, CentOS, Kali). Which would Go2Linux recommend, and why? Give specific reasons for your choice (e.g., security features, support, updates, user interface).
(10.1.2: Gather project requirements to meet stakeholder needs.)
· What steps will be required to migrate the systems from Windows to Linux?
· Are there graphical interfaces available for the Linux workstations that would provide similar functionality to Windows? Some users are concerned about working with a command-line interface.
(10.1.3: Define the specifications of required technologies.)
· What tools are available on Linux for the servers to provide file sharing, Linux services, and printing? (e.g., Apache/Nginx, Samba, CUPS, SSH/SCP). Ensure you identify what the functions/services are used for (e.g., Samba is used for file sharing).
(1.1.3: Present ideas in a clear, logical order appropriate to the task.)

Software design is a process to transform user requirements into some suitable form, which helps the programmer in software coding and implementation.
Software design is the important step in SDLC (Software Design Life Cycle), which moves the concentration from problem domain to solution domain. It tries to specify how to fulfill the requirements mentioned in SRS.
Software design plays an important role in developing software: during software design, software engineers produce various models that form a kind of blueprint of the solution to be implemented

Linux Implementation Proposal
Richard Johnson
Why Linux?
Costless
Stable
Reliable
Extremely powerful
Highly Secure
Why Linux
The Linux system is very stable and is not prone to crashes unlike Windows
Linux is completely free and users do not need to pay for anything.
Cost effective: Linux can be installed on old hardware, thus helping in optimal use of all the hardware resources.
Features of Linux Operating System:
Portable(Multiplatform)
Multitasking.
Multi User.
Multiprocessor (SMP) Support.
Multithreading Support.
Virtual Memory.
Hierarchical File System.
Graphical User Interface (X Window System, Wayland)
Basic Features of Linux
Portable − Portability means software can works on different types of hardware in same way.
Multiprogramming − Linux is a multiprogramming system means multiple applications can run at same time.
Security − Linux provides user security using authentication features like password protection/ controlled access to specific files/ encryption of data. Less prone to hackers!
Software application for Linux
OpenOffice (Microsoft Office)
Adobe Acrobat Reader
Konqueror: The KDE File Manager and Web Browser (Internet Explorer)
Gedit (Notepad/Wordpad)
Gimp (Photoshop)
Cinelerra (Movie Maker)
VLC (Media Player)
Comparison of Operating System Linux v/s Windows
Linux is freely available or online downloads, for windows companies have pay for their license.
Windows need up to date time to time, its updating process is slower than Linux.
Linux supports backward compatibility unlike to the windows.
Most of the software made on the windows are need to be licensed but in Linux all of them are freely available.
Hardware Requirements
The transition to the Linux environment will not require any changes to the present hardware components.
Windows utilize Intel Core and 8 GB of ram which is more than what is required for Linux
Graphical User Interface
Users will log in with the use of specially designated user ID and passwords. This functions the same as Windows.
Each password will be unique per the user.
Each user will have different access to the system, depending on their level of use; this means that a person will be allowed to access part of the system that they work on, and the rest will be blocked.
Server File Sharing Tool
Samba Server

Linux Implementation Proposal Migration Proposal Presentation (.docx
Linux Implementation Proposal: Migration Proposal Presentation (due at the end of Week 3)
Faster Computing has contacted Go2Linux and requested a brief proposal presentation for migrating its systems from Windows to Linux. The company is specifically interested in seeing the following information:
Based on your current understanding of Faster Computing's business, what are some potential benefits of Linux?
The company is aware that many different Linux distributions exist. Which would Go2Linux recommend, and why?
Are there graphical interfaces available for the Linux workstations that would provide similar functionality to Windows? Some users are concerned about working with a command-line interface.
What steps will be required to migrate the systems from Windows to Linux?
What tools are available on Linux for the servers to provide file sharing, web servers, and email servers?
The deliverable for this phase of the project is a three- to five-slide PowerPoint narrated presentation. For each slide, you will embed your own audio recording as if you were presenting the content to the Faster Computing team. Faster Computing has not yet committed to the project, so this should be presented as a proposal. The presentation should be visually appealing; inclusion of at least one image that supports the content and adds value to the proposal is required. You must cite at least two quality sources.

Design
Starts mostly from/with requirements (evolving mostly from functionalities and other non-functional characteristics).
How is the software solution going to be structured?
What are the main components—(functional comp)?
Often directly from requirements’ functionalities
(use cases).
How are these components related?
Possibly re-organize the components (composition/decomposition).
Two main levels of design:
Architectural (high level)
Detailed design
How should we depict design—notation/language?

Pipe-Filter Architecture Style
The high-level design solution is decomposed into two “generic” parts (filters and pipes):
Filter is a service that transforms a stream of input data into a stream of output data.
Pipe is a mechanism or conduit through which the data flows from one filter to another.
Input
time cards

Problems that require batch file processing seem to fit this architecture: e.g., payroll, compilers, month-end accounting.

Event Driven (Real Time)
The high-level design solution is based on an event dispatcher, which manages events and the functionalities that depend on those events. These have the following characteristics:
Events may be a simple notification or may include associated data.
Events may be prioritized or be based on constraints such as time.
Events may require synchronous or asynchronous processing.
Events may be “registered” ...

Task
back to top
In this assignment you will develop simple scripts to manage the user and file system whilst
developing some expertise in managing a complex file system.
Part 1: Automated Account Management (4 marks)
You have been asked by your boss to prepare two shell scripts which manage user information.
You are to prepare a simple shell script which reads a text file called users.txt. The file is in the
form
dfs /home/dfs Daniel Saffioti
and creates these users on the system without any interactive input. To do this you will need to
use the adduser(1) and passwd(1) commands. You will need to randomly produce the password
and report this to the administrator.
You can assume the fields being username, home directory and GCOS string are separate by a
single white space.
You can assume all users are in the same group.
The program should output the username and generated password once created.
Part 2: Design of a File System (3 marks)
https://outlines.csu.edu.au/delivery/published/ITC333/201860/SM/I/outline.html#contentPanel
You work for the Information Technology Department in your University and you have been
asked to build a server to store user data (home directories).
The volumes can grow without bounds, so it was felt that the ZFS file system should be used for
each volume. The operating system itself need not be on a ZFS volume.
All volumes including the operating system should be engineered in such a way to ensure the
best data protection is afforded in the event of local disk failure. It is expected that no more than
1 hours worth of data will be lost.
The volumes required are as follows:
1. uni0 with mount point /users/ug& quota of 200G.
2. uni1 with mount point /users/pg& quota of 20 ...

“Dr. Amoroso’s fi fth book Cyber Attacks: Protecting National Infrastructure outlines the chal-
lenges of protecting our nation’s infrastructure from cyber attack using security techniques
established to protect much smaller and less complex environments. He proposes a brand
new type of national infrastructure protection methodology and outlines a strategy presented
as a series of ten basic design and operations principles ranging from deception to response.
The bulk of the text covers each of these principles in technical detail. While several of these
principles would be daunting to implement and practice they provide the fi rst clear and con-
cise framework for discussion of this critical challenge. This text is thought-provoking and
should be a ‘must read’ for anyone concerned with cybersecurity in the private or government
sector.”

Endowed Chair in Bioinformatics,

Memphis, TN
“Dr. Ed Amoroso reveals in plain English the threats and weaknesses of our critical infra-
structure balanced against practices that reduce the exposures. This is an excellent guide
to the understanding of the cyber-scape that the security professional navigates. The book
takes complex concepts of security and simplifi es it into coherent and simple to understand
concepts.”
— Arnold Felberbaum ,

“The national infrastructure, which is now vital to communication, commerce and entertain-
ment in everyday life, is highly vulnerable to malicious attacks and terrorist threats. Today, it
is possible for botnets to penetrate millions of computers around the world in few minutes,
and to attack the valuable national infrastructure.
“As the New York Times reported, the growing number of threats by botnets suggests that
this cyber security issue has become a serious problem, and we are losing the war against
these attacks.

Why Linux?
Costless
Stable
Reliable
Extremely powerful
Highly Secure
Why Linux
The Linux system is very stable and is not prone to crashes unlike Windows
Linux is completely free and users do not need to pay for anything.
Cost effective: Linux can be installed on old hardware, thus helping in optimal use of all the hardware resources.
Features of Linux Operating System:
Portable(Multiplatform)
Multitasking.
Multi User.
Multiprocessor (SMP) Support.
Multithreading Support.
Virtual Memory.
Hierarchical File System.
Graphical User Interface (X Window System, Wayland)
Basic Features of Linux
Portable − Portability means software can works on different types of hardware in same way.
Multiprogramming − Linux is a multiprogramming system means multiple applications can run at same time.
Security − Linux provides user security using authentication features like password protection/ controlled access to specific files/ encryption of data. Less prone to hackers!
Software application for Linux
OpenOffice (Microsoft Office)
Adobe Acrobat Reader
Konqueror: The KDE File Manager and Web Browser (Internet Explorer)
Gedit (Notepad/Wordpad)
Gimp (Photoshop)
Cinelerra (Movie Maker)
VLC (Media Player)
Comparison of Operating System Linux v/s Windows
Linux is freely available or online downloads, for windows companies have pay for their license.
Windows need up to date time to time, its updating process is slower than Linux.
Linux supports backward compatibility unlike to the windows.
Most of the software made on the windows are need to be licensed but in Linux all of them are freely available.
Hardware Requirements
The transition to the Linux environment will not require any changes to the present hardware components.
Windows utilize Intel Core and 8 GB of ram which is more than what is required for Linux
Graphical User Interface
Users will log in with the use of specially designated user ID and passwords. This functions the same as Windows.
Each password will be unique per the user.
Each user will have different access to the system, depending on their level of use; this means that a person will be allowed to access part of the system that they work on, and the rest will be blocked.
Server File Sharing Tool
Samba Server
Share files across Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X systems

Linux Implementation Proposal Migration Proposal Presentation (.docx
Linux Implementation Proposal: Migration Proposal Presentation (due at the end of Week 3)
Faster Computing has contacted Go2Linux and requested a brief proposal presentation for migrating its systems from Windows to Linux. The company is specifically interested in seeing the following information:
Based on your current understanding of Faster Computing's business, what are some potential benefits of Linux?
The company is aware that many different Linux distributions exist. Which would Go2Linux recommend, and why?
Are there graphical interfaces available for the Linux workstations that would provide similar functionality to Windows? Some users are concerned about working with a command-line interface.
What steps will be required to migrate the systems from Windows to Linux?
What tools are available on Linux for the servers to provide file sharing, web servers, and email servers?
The deliverable for this phase of the project is a three- to five-slide PowerPoint narrated presentation. For each slide, you will embed your own audio recording as if you were presenting the content to the Faster Computing team. Faster Computing has not yet committed to the project, so this should be presented as a proposal. The presentation should be visually appealing; inclusion of at least one image that supports the content and adds value to the proposal is required. You must cite at least two quality sources.

Design Topics Covered
Architectural vs. detailed design
“Common” architectural styles, tactics, and reference architectures
Basic techniques for detailed design
Basic issues with user-interface design
2
Design
Starts mostly from/with requirements (evolving mostly from functionalities and other non-functional characteristics).
How is the software solution going to be structured?
What are the main components—(functional comp)?
Often directly from requirements’ functionalities
(use cases).
How are these components related?
Possibly re-organize the components (composition/decomposition).
Two main levels of design:
Architectural (high level)
Detailed design
How should we depict design—notation/language?

Software Architecture
Structure(s) of the solution, comprising:
Major software elements
Their externally visible properties
Relationships among elements
Every software system has an architecture.
May have multiple structures!
Multiple ways of organizing elements, depending on the perspective
External properties of components (and modules)
Component (module) interfaces
Component (module) interactions, rather than internals of components and modules

Pipe-Filter Architecture Style
The high-level design solution is decomposed into two “generic” parts (filters and pipes):
Filter is a service that transforms a stream of input data into a stream of output data.
Pipe is a mechanism or conduit through which the data flows from one filter to another.
Input
time cards

Process checks
Problems that require batch file processing seem to fit this architecture: e.g., payroll, compilers, month-end accounting.

Event Driven (Real Time)
The high-level design solution is based on an event dispatcher, which manages events and the functionalities that depend on those events. These have the following characteristics:
Events may be a simple notification or may include associated data.
Events may be prioritized or be based on constraints such as time.
Events may require synchronous or asynchronous processing.
Events may be “registered” ...

In this assignment you will develop simple scripts to manage the user and file system whilst
developing some expertise in managing a complex file system.
Part 1: Automated Account Management (4 marks)
You have been asked by your boss to prepare two shell scripts which manage user information.
You are to prepare a simple shell script which reads a text file called users.txt. The file is in the
form
dfs /home/dfs Daniel Saffioti
and creates these users on the system without any interactive input. To do this you will need to
use the adduser(1) and passwd(1) commands. You will need to randomly produce the password
and report this to the administrator.
You can assume the fields being username, home directory and GCOS string are separate by a
single white space.
You can assume all users are in the same group.
The program should output the username and generated password once created.
Part 2: Design of a File System (3 marks)
https://outlines.csu.edu.au/delivery/published/ITC333/201860/SM/I/outline.html#contentPanel
You work for the Information Technology Department in your University and you have been
asked to build a server to store user data (home directories).
The volumes can grow without bounds, so it was felt that the ZFS file system should be used for
each volume. The operating system itself need not be on a ZFS volume.
All volumes including the operating system should be engineered in such a way to ensure the
best data protection is afforded in the event of local disk failure. It is expected that no more than
1 hours worth of data will be lost.
The volumes required are as follows:
1. uni0 with mount point /users/ug& quota of 200G.
2. uni1 with mount point /users/pg& quota of 20 ...

“Dr. Amoroso’s fi fth book Cyber Attacks: Protecting National Infrastructure outlines the chal-
lenges of protecting our nation’s infrastructure from cyber attack using security techniques
established to protect much smaller and less complex environments. He proposes a brand
new type of national infrastructure protection methodology and outlines a strategy presented
as a series of ten basic design and operations principles ranging from deception to response.
The bulk of the text covers each of these principles in technical detail. While several of these
principles would be daunting to implement and practice they provide the fi rst clear and con-
cise framework for discussion of this critical challenge. This text is thought-provoking and
should be a ‘must read’ for anyone concerned with cybersecurity in the private or government
sector.”

“Dr. Ed Amoroso reveals in plain English the threats and weaknesses of our critical infra-
structure balanced against practices that reduce the exposures. This is an excellent guide
to the understanding of the cyber-scape that the security professional navigates. The book
takes complex concepts of security and simplifi es it into coherent and simple to understand
concepts.”

“The national infrastructure, which is now vital to communication, commerce and entertain-
ment in everyday life, is highly vulnerable to malicious attacks and terrorist threats. Today, it
is possible for botnets to penetrate millions of computers around the world in few minutes,
and to attack the valuable national infrastructure.
“As the New York Times reported, the growing number of threats by botnets suggests that
this cyber security issue has become a serious problem, and we are losing the war against
these attacks.

Federalist 51To the People of the State of New YorkHow shall .docx
Federalist 51
To the People of the State of New York:
How shall we keep the necessary separation of power among the different parts of government? The only answer that is that the parts themselves keep each other in their proper places.
The separate use of different parts of government is needed to save liberty. As such, each department should have its own powers. The members of different parts should have as little power as possible in selecting members of the other branches. Ideally, this would be happen due to voters elect members of each department separately.
Such a plan would be difficult to carry out, however. Therefore, we must allow certain members of government to be selected by other ways. It would be useful to allow judges to be appointed by other government officials. Judges need special skills, so it is important that they be elected in a way that makes sure that only best candidates are chosen. Also, because judges are selected to the courts for life, they are less likely to be influenced by the men who select them.
"Power Is Divided"
Members of each government branch should be able to keep other parts from overtaking their power. The system should force individuals to defend their branch's powers.
In a perfect world, we would not need such protections. In creating a government that is to be ran by men over men, it must control itself. This can be done by separating and arranging the different offices of government so that each acts as a check on the others.
It is not possible to give to each part an equal ability to protect itself. In republican government, the lawmakers who make up the legislative branch will always have the most power. The cure to this problem is to divide them into two legislative branches. Each branch should be made different by different systems of election and different principles of action. They should be as little connected with each other as possible.
The division of power between the federal government and state governments offers another protection to the people. In the republic of America, power is divided between the states and the federal government. It is then divided again among the branches of each government. Therefore, government power is divided twice and can be controlled.
"To Guard Society"
It is important in a republic to guard society against its rulers. It also must guard one part of the society against the injustice of the other part. Different wants exist in different classes of citizens. If a majority is united by a common interest, the rights of the minority could be hurt.
To defend against this evil, we must make it unlikely that a bad party will gain a majority of support. The people should be broken into many parts, interests and classes of citizens. This will make sure that the rights of individuals, or of the minority, will not be in much danger from the will of the majority. The size of the United States, and the number of people under the same government, offers some prote.

Essay Topic and Objective:
You will be watching two 50 minute documentaries: The Storm and Coronavirus Pandemic in order to complete this essay.
1. The Storm: Hurricane Documentary (Links to an external site.)
2.
Coronavirus Pandemic Documentary (Links to an external site.)
Federalism Overview
: Considered together, Hurricane Katrina and Covid-19 both produced policy disasters in the United States that were both unnecessary and linked to federalism. These challenges produced by nature raise the question of whether certain disasters are beyond the capacities of state and local government.
Objective
: While watching these films, the central theme to take away from these videos is a better and more comprehensive understanding of Federalism, through real life evidence and explanation. Critically analyze each of the elements and consequences of each different national disaster, based on different level of government’s responses, actions.

Despite, both Hurricane Katrina and Corona Virus being deemed as “national emergencies”, the power organization resulted in vastly different responses by each level of government’s leadership (across all levels: federal, state and local).

Federal Budget Speech
"Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you."
- Thomas Jefferson
The federal budget spends close to four trillion dollars a year and is split between mandatory spending (what the federal government has to spend due to congressional legislation) and discretionary spending (what the federal government spends as a result of congressional allotment). Roughly speaking, mandatory spending accounts for two-thirds of the federal budget and discretionary spending accounts for one-third of the federal budget.
Every year the executive and legislative branches debate budgetary priorities for the federal bureaucracies such as the Department of Defense, the Pentagon, the Environmental Protection Agency, Veteran Affairs, the Department of Education, and others. Many of these debates occur within congressional committee meetings as members of Congress, federal employees, outside interests, and individual citizens articulate funding requests.
For this assessment you will compose a speech advocating why your chosen department, administration, or agency within the federal bureaucracy should receive additional funding.
Because the “world is a stage,” let us establish the setting, plot, and the ensuing action for your speech.
Setting:
Exterior: Washington D.C. State Capitol Building.
Interior: Room 221B. Congressional Hearing Room.
Plot:
Imagine that you are in a cavernous room. You sit before a large table facing twenty one senators from the Budget Committee. Photographers, more than you can imagine, squeeze between the space that separates you from the members of Congress. Behind you in the gallery, public policy wonks and regular citizens sit, awaiting your presentation.
You are a featured speaker from a citizen group that advocates a particular public policy funding concern for your federal department, administration, or agency. Prior to the meeting you have already read the president’s proposed federal budget for the upcoming year from the
Office of Management and Budget
and you have some budgetary concerns. You read in alarm how the upcoming federal budget request from the White House reduces funding for your federal department, administration, or agency. But, as you know, it is up to Congress to fund the executive bureaucracy. The executive branch requests funding and the legislative branch allocates funding. This is your chance to request more funding for your federal department, administration, or agency of choice.

Creating and Capturing Value Through Sustainability
The Sustainable Value Analysis Tool
A new tool helps companies discover opportunities to create and capture value through sustainability.
Miying Yang, Doroteya Vladimirova, and Steve Evans
OVERVIEW: Recent research and practice have shown that business model innovation can be one way to create and
capture new value and drive production and consumption toward sustainability. However, business model tools typically
do not create a space to consider how sustainability concerns may be integrated into the innovation process. To address
this gap, this article describes a tool that can help companies identify new opportunities to create and capture value
through sustainability by analyzing value captured and uncaptured for key stakeholders across the product life cycle.
The Sustainable Value Analysis Tool is shown to help companies recognize value uncaptured and turn it into opportunities;
it facilitates sustainability-focused business model innovation by identifying value uncaptured—and hence, opportunities
for innovation—associated with environmental and social sustainability in production, use, and disposal.
KEYWORDS: Sustainable Value Analysis Tool, Sustainability, Business model innovation, Sustainability-focused innovation
In recent years, as companies have been challenged by
environmental legislation and societal pressures (Elkington
1997), sustainability has become a key factor in long-term
business success. As a result, innovation for sustainability
has received much attention from researchers and practi-
tioners (Nidumolu, Prahalad, and Rangaswami 2009; Boons
et al. 2013). However, although technological approaches to
promote sustainability have been thoroughly investigated
(Camarinha-Matos 2011), comparatively little work has been
done to understand how innovation in business models can
support sustainability across the product life cycle, including
manufacturing, operation, and disposal.
Business model innovation looks at how companies create
and capture value at every stage of a product’s journey to
market. While business model innovation has been the
subject of much discussion and research, very few tools have
been developed to help companies integrate sustainability
into the business model innovation process (Evans et al., in
press). Existing tools for business model innovation either
do not consider sustainability (for instance, Osterwalder
and Pigneur’s [2010] Business Model Canvas) or do not
address all of the elements of the business model (for
example, lifecycle assessment tools [Tukker 2000]). Thus,
sustainability considerations and business model innovation
are often not well integrated, with sustainability being
treated as an add-on rather than as a core source of value.
Considering sustainability in the process of business
model innovation can provide entirely new ways to create .

Hiring tiie Very Best
How to increase your employees' morale and productivity
By Tracy Mullin
Tracy Mullin is
president and
CEO, Nationai
Retail
Federation,
Washington,
D.C,
[email protected]
I
remember a quote from former ABC execu-
iive Thomas Murphy, who said. "If you hire
the best people and leave them alone, you
don't need to hire very many." While I think re-
tailers should be hiring the best people possible,
and treating them well, it may not always be best
to leave them alone. Especially during the holi-
day season.
With the holidays almost upon us, retailers are
scrambling to hire the best seasonal workers—
more than 520,000 of them—while retaining
their top performers. And during the most cru-
cial selling period of the year, there is no time
for mistakes. Executives know that good em-
ployees ean bolster the image of a store and
unsatisfactory employees can be disastrous.
More often than not. finding good workers is
high on the list of challenges facing retail exec-
utives. And keeping those people is even more
difficult.
Turnover in the retail industry is nothing new,
and it is not a problem that will disappear any-
time soon. After Sept. 11, many retailers experi-
enced low turnover as employees waited for the
job market to improve. Now that the economy is
back on traek, workers are keeping an eye out
for new opportunities, and many are moving on.
Statistics reinforce that theory: According to
the 2005 NRF/Mercer Retailer Compensation
and Benefits survey, released last month, turn-
over for store managers rose 20% last year over
2003.
Leading HR experts seem to agree that tradi-
tional approaches to management haven't been
working. Author Bruce Tulgan. a consultant
who spoke in June at the National Retail Eed-
eration's Loss Prevention Conference, talked
about the mind-set of the new American worker
and said that the best way retailers could keep
their employees was to find out what people
want and use it to drive performance.
Best Buy is one of those retailers. Nearly half
of the 3.500 employees at Best Buy headquarters
have embarked on a radical strategy that enables
employees to work where and when they
as long as their job gets done. The approach
seems to be working, as executives maintain that
this new program has reduced turnover and
increased productivity at the same time.
Other retailers, such as Costco, believe that
the way to their workers" hearts is through their
wallets. Costco's employees earn an average of
$17.41 an hour and receive some of the most
generous health benefits in the industry. Perhaps
that's why they are able to maintain a low
turnover rate of about 17% per yean
However, money isn't everything. In his pre,s-
entation, Tulgan also featured several non-finan-
cial elements, such as people needing to be sat-
isfied with their jobs. One of those basics, giving
employees control over tasks, is an area where
Trader Joe's has an upper hand. Instead of giv-
ing employees.

FEATURED ESSAY
The Ecstatic Edge of Politics: Sociology and Donald Trump
ARLIE RUSSELL HOCHSCHILD
University of California-Berkeley
[email protected]
The day before the Louisiana Republican
primary in March 2016, I watched Donald
Trump’s Boeing 757 descend from the sky
at the Lakefront Airport in New Orleans,
Louisiana. Inside the crowded hangar, Elton
John’s ‘‘Rocket Man’’ was playing. Red,
white, and blue strobe lights roved sideways
and up. Cell phones snapped photos of the
blond-haired candidate as he stood before
thousands waving and shaking signs that
read MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. A
small, wiry man bearing this sign with
both hands, eyes afire, called out to all with-
in earshot, ‘‘To be in the presence of such
a man! To be in the presence of such
a man.’’ There seemed in this man’s call, I
wrote in my field notes—part of a five year
ethnographic study of Tea Party supporters
in Louisiana—a note of reverence, even
ecstasy (Hochschild 2016:224). How do we
understand the states of mind and situations
of those to whom Donald Trump appeals?
How does such emotional appeal work?
Whatever Trump’s future, he has touched
a cultural nerve we sociologists need to
study. In this essay, I explore illuminating
works in and around sociology before ven-
turing an interpretation of my own.
In The Paranoid Style in American Politics,
the historian Richard Hofstadter (1996)
traced the relationship between paranoid
political rhetoric and ‘‘style of mind’’ as
these periodically emerged in the United
States through the nineteenth and twentieth
centuries. The leader expressing such a style,
he says, ‘‘does not see social conflict as some-
thing to be mediated and compromised, in
the manner of the working politician. Since
what is at stake is always a conflict between
absolute good and absolute evil, what is nec-
essary is not compromise but the will to fight
things out to a finish. . . . This demand for
total triumph leads to the formulation of
hopelessly unrealistic goals, and since these
goals are not even remotely attainable, fail-
ure constantly heightens the paranoid’s
sense of frustration. Even partial success
leaves him with the same feeling of power-
lessness with which he began, and this in
turn only strengthens his awareness of the
vast and terrifying quality of the enemy he
opposes’’ (p. 31).
Propelling such movements, he argues, is
not just economic deprivation as narrowly
conceived, but the loss of an older America,
inward-turned, Protestant, secure, busy
turning the wheel of a thriving local capital-
ism. As one of the original so-called birthers
(who questioned President Obama’s place of
birth and religion) and as one who has
extended this suspicion to Hillary Clinton’s
religion, Donald Trump fits in Hofstadter’s
‘‘paranoid style.’’ Still, Trump’s appeal
reaches far beyond the style of mind through
which it is expressed.

Party and the Remaking of Republican Conser-

Abstract
Introduction:
Insulin-dependent patients are individuals with chronic disease who are well adapted to living and dealing with any health needs and fears arising. An important aspect in the process of adaptation to chronic illness is the provision of nursing care in the early stages of the disease, because this contributes to its acceptance and the early identification and management of potential complications.
Purpose:
To investigate the health needs and self-management problems faced by patients with diabetes daily, especially those who use insulin. Furthermore, purpose of this study was to investigate the fears experienced by patients in the early stage of the disease, but also in its subsequent development and to study possible differences between sexes.
Methodology:
This is a qualitative study, using interpretative phenomenological approach. Fifteen (nine women and six men) insulin-dependent patients, recounted their personal fears and their needs, through semi-structured interviews, which took place in Central Greece. The method used for processing the results is the Mayering one.
Results:
The analysis of the narratives showed that patients have a variety of fears and needs associated with the diagnosis, treatment, expected consequences, prognosis and everyday life in the management of the disease. Most patients express the concept of need as desire. Care needs, psychological support and education to recognize and prevent hypoglycemia.
Conclusions:
Insulin-dependent patients express fears and needs in their daily lives. Nurses providing care aimed at enhancing the level of health, while putting self-care information and training them. Patients want the nurse next to them, so that information is continuous and permanent.
Keywords: diabetes mellitus, fears, health needs, self-care, nursing care

1. INTRODUCTION
Patients with type II diabetes, especially insulin-dependent are usually suffering from diabetes several years before the initiation of insulin therapy. Treatment of diabetes has now as a central character, the patient himself who co-decides with the physician-nurse team. The primary concern is the patient’s acceptance of the disease in the early stages and his gradual familiarization with the treatment (1).
According to International Diabetes Federation, at least 285 million people worldwide have diabetes and this number is expected to increase to 438 million by 2030, with two-thirds of all cases living in low or middle income countries (2, 3).
Apart from pharmaceutical care, the nurse also pr.
Featherfall has recently violated several government regulations.docx
Featherfall has recently violated several government regulations regarding the current state of its technology and how it is being used. The technology system is vastly out of date, and staff are not always using the technology that is in place or they are using the technology inappropriately. These problems have lost the institution lots of money for not meeting government regulations and have caused operational and ethical problems from inefficient and ineffective use of technology.
The staff at Featherfall are not well-trained on the use of technology and do not communicate appropriately about technology use. The roles that pertinent to your consult are the health information management team, the clinical staff (doctors, nurses, etc.), and administrative staff. The health information management team uses proper coding practices, and the current technology system serves them well, despite its age. However, other roles in the hospital have had issues with the system. Clinical staff, for instance, have had record-keeping issues both due to lack of training on the system and the system itself being out of date. Administrative staff within the organization have taken issue with the lack of communication about the technology and its use between the various roles. When the current technology system was chosen many years ago, the needs of these various roles were not considered.

Contract for International Sale of Goods
A Solid Reputation
Semicontronics is an Australian manufacturing company that has been in the business of semi-
manufactured electronics for over a decade. Semicontronics has a solid reputation for meeting
customer demands for quality products on time and on budget. Semicontronics customers are
international, mid-market manufacturing companies that produce generic electronics such as
smart phones, digital media players and game consoles. Retail stores in foreign countries
purchase the generic products and rebrand them for sale.
Recently, Semicontronics has been approached by Phoneson to act as a supplier in its supply
chain. Based in Japan, Phoneson is an original design electronics manufacturing company
specializing in high-end mobility devices, including smart phones, tablets and navigation systems.
Phoneson is impressed with Semicontronics’ reputation and wants Semicontronics to supply
several components for its next release of legacy products.
Phoneson has a reputation for producing best-in-class brands of electronics, and is recognized
for cutting-edge technology and aesthetic design. It has built a loyal following from electronics
enthusiasts in Japan as well as other Asian and European electronics markets. Phoneson wants
to extend its brand into the highly competitive North American market and sees standard, 4G
compatibility and HD video in its smart phones and tablets as the keys to its success.
In order to offer its products as a high-end alternative to the established North American
competitors and at its existing top market price, Phoneson has decided to spend millions of dollars
on aggressive marketing. It plans to cut production costs by having Semicontronics produce its
computer chips, instead of its existing supplier.
A Realization
Semicontronics has enthusiastically accepted Phoneson’s invitation to join its supply chain. If
Semicontronics can maintain its track record for supplying cost-efficient, quality products on
target, it could open an entire new customer market for expansion.
While negotiating the supplier contract, Semicontronics realizes the memory in its current
computer chips will have to be significantly increased to support the technical capabilities of
Phoneson’s electronics. Its current manufacturing plant in Brazil is not equipped to meet these
new demands, and an upgrade at this stage of a new customer endeavor is not economically
feasible for Semicontronics.

By Farhad Manjoo
Over the summer, my wife and I traveled with our two young kids on a two-week
vacation through Europe.
It wasn’t as highfalutin as it sounds. In London, our Airbnb had ample skylights —
which rendered the place all but uninhabitable during Europe’s heat wave. In Paris, our
charming home-share had a cavernous hole in the ceiling of the entryway, revealing
load-bearing beams that appeared to have been rotting since Napoleon’s reign. And in
Amsterdam, our Airbnb advertised a kids’ bedroom stocked with toys — but failed to
mention the mosquitoes and mice.
I’m not complaining. If travel mishaps are the stuff of memory, my vacation was
unforgettable. And without home-sharing services like Airbnb, review sites like
TripAdvisor and conveniences like Uber, OpenTable and Expedia, the trip would have
been far more expensive, less accessible and, in a strange way, less authentic.
But my tech-abetted trip was illuminating, too, because it provided a firsthand look into
a vexing problem that has gripped much of Europe lately — the worry of “overtourism,”
and the rising chorus that blames technologies like Airbnb, Uber and other internet-
enabled travel conveniences for the menace.
Every summer, the most popular European destinations get stuffed to the gills with
tourists, who outnumber locals by many multiples, turning hot spots into sweaty, selfie-
stick-clogged, “Disneyfied”towns. They offer a taste of a growing global threat: Across
the world, thanks in part to rising affluence, travel is becoming a more widely shared
pastime. International trips were up 6 percent in the first half of the year, surpassing
experts’ forecasts, according to the United Nations’ World Tourism Organization.
This growth might once have been considered unambiguously good news. But the
world’s most popular destinations cannot expand to accommodate an infinite flood of
visitors. Advocates of curbing tourism say too many visitors are altering the character of
historic cities, and making travel terrible, too.
“It’s a level of tourism which is degrading the enjoyment that residents have, but it’s also
degrading the tourist experience, because the tourist who is endlessly queuing behind
backpacks of hundreds of other tourists is not discovering the real or the authentic
place,” said Justin Francis, the chief executive of Responsible Travel, a company that
arranges “sustainable” travel for customers.
What’s to blame? In addition to broad prosperity, there’s technology, defined very
broadly.

TO: Manager
FROM:
DATE:
SUBJECT:
This memo is meant for introducing the feasibility report that aims at providing a solution to the cases and nation problems about the cybercrime and the potential proposed solution to curb up the challenge. These feasibilities we are identified by studying various critical factors such as the social effects, legal issues, technical problems, and the economic impact. Therefore, this memo is very vital for an individual to read and understand various aspects.
Feasibility Report
It takes much time in planning and preparing to implement a solution to the major problem in society. During the planning and preparation process, the proposed solution should be tested and determined if it is feasible to provide the solution or not. Cybercrime in united states has been a significant problem and need to be addressed and solution provided to reduce the cybercrime.
One of the proposed solutions to this major problem is providing cybersecurity among very individual. This will enable most of the people to understand and know the importance of cybersecurity and thus leading to the reduction of the negative loses that is caused by the cybercrime in society every year. Another thing that will ensure that the individuals in the nation are protected from the impact of the cybercrime is educating them on ways they can protect themselves over the cybercrime attempts.
This report will majorly focus on looking at the proposed solution provided and determine if the answers are feasible or need some changes. The essential aspects that the story will focus on include the social impact, the economic effect, and other elements which will be determined if it can provide a solution to the problem.
The Social Impact
When looking for a potential solution to be implemented to solve a specific major problem in society, a positive impact is always the main objective. When the proposed solution is applied, such as implementing cybersecurity in the daily lives of the individuals in the society it will bring a lot of positive impacts on them. For instance, when the cybersecurity is made the main focus in the in every place, i.e. schools and workplace, majority of the individuals will be aware of these threats and ways of preventing them from affecting their daily lives. This will also reduce the loss that most of the individuals incur due to the cybercrime and lack of security in their day-to-day business operations (Help Net Security, 2015).
When the cybersecurity is introduced in society It will bring much social impact to the life of the individuals since it will educate people about the dynamic changes that occur in uses of the technology. When this provides a solution to the cybercrime problem in the society, it will be adopted by every nation, and thus the cybercrime problem is reduced and making every country secure and safe from the cybercrime prob.

http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Faster Computing was impressed with your presentation. The company i.docx
- 1. Faster Computing was impressed with your presentation. The company is interested in moving forward with the project, but the senior management team has responded to the presentation with the following questions and concerns: (12.3.2: Describe the implementation of controls.) How will security be implemented in the Linux systems—both workstations and servers? (10.1.2: Gather project requirements to meet stakeholder needs.) End users have expressed some concern about completing their day-to-day tasks on Linux. How would activities such as web browsing work? How would they work with their previous Microsoft Office files? (12.4.1: Document how IT controls are monitored.) The current Windows administrators are unsure about administering Linux systems. How are common tasks, such as process monitoring and management, handled in Linux? How does logging work? Do we have event logs like we do in Windows? (2.3.2: Incorporate relevant evidence to support the position.)
- 2. Some folks in IT raised questions about the Linux flavor that was recommended. They would like to see comparisons between your recommendation and a couple of other popular options. What makes your recommendation the best option? (10.1.3: Define the specifications of the required technologies.) How does software installation work on Linux? Can we use existing Windows software? How can Linux work together with the systems that will continue to run Windows? How will we share files between the different system types? The deliverable for this phase of the project is a memo. There is no minimum or maximum page requirement, but all of the questions must be fully answered with sufficient detail. The recommended format is to respond to the questions in a bulleted format. Provide sufficient detail to fully address the questions. You must cite at least two quality sources. (1.2.3: Explain specialized terms or concepts to facilitate audience comprehension.) Create a memorandum template with a header of your own design or choosing, brief introduction, addresses Faster Computing, Inc's questions, and summarizes your position on adopting the specific version of Linux.
- 3. (1.4.3: Write concise and logical sentences in standard academic English that clarify relationships among concepts and ideas.) Your memorandum should not include spelling or grammatical errors. Any Linux commands must be displayed in lower case. Information technology acronyms (e.g., SSH or FTP) should be explained for the reader.
