Town Guide Android Application
Problem Definition
People visiting new places often have trouble adopting to the new place. Whether on a business trip or holiday vocational trip, a new place is usually hard to adopt in terms of finding locations, restaurants, guest rooms, movie theatres and shopping centers. To find the required destination or services, one has to spend long time and resources asking people or walking from one corner of the town or city to another (Koutroumanis, 2011). The Town-Guide Android application is to help people who are new to a city or town find their way around the town. The application will provide features like navigation, geolocation and reviews for services and other requirements that will help the visitor. The application will also reduce the time of finding services like restaurants, shopping centers and movie theaters among other service centers. Additionally, the app will help select the best services through the reviews of people who has used the restaurant, hotel or tourism center before.
Issues
In modern days, towns and cities have been crowded and security is usually compromised. Moving from one place to another in search of a particular destination can be risky and wasteful of time and other resources. However, applications like Google Maps exist to help find directions; Town-Guide Application will integrate the geolocation feature with features of locating services in town and reviews from the customers and local residents. This will help visitors and tourists find the best services in terms of quality of the places, price range, distance from main centers and security of places. The application aims to have a comprehensive feature for the visitors to help them adopt quickly to the new city or town.
Objectives
Introduce a new android application for visitors at the end of next month to help lower their travelling costs by 50% and reduce the time for finding places and services to one minute. The project also aims to help visitors find category of services in a region by one click with details such as directions, ratings, costs and security.
Requirements
· System Requirements: System availability is 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year (99.9% uptime).
· Reporting Requirements: Weekly traffic report should be auto-generated and sent to the business owner of the application.
· Data requirements: interfacing the system with geolocation data, and other regional databases in terms infrastructure, security and services.
· Business requirements: after approval of the system’s database requirements, there should be five weeks of implementation of the project.
· Security requirements: need to secure the system through two level user authentication.Personnel Requirements: ...

Town Guide Android Application
Problem Definition
People visiting new places often have trouble adopting to the new place. Whether on a business trip or holiday vocational trip, a new place is usually hard to adopt in terms of finding locations, restaurants, guest rooms, movie theatres and shopping centers. To find the required destination or services, one has to spend long time and resources asking people or walking from one corner of the town or city to another (Koutroumanis, 2011). The Town-Guide Android application is to help people who are new to a city or town find their way around the town. The application will provide features like navigation, geolocation and reviews for services and other requirements that will help the visitor. The application will also reduce the time of finding services like restaurants, shopping centers and movie theaters among other service centers. Additionally, the app will help select the best services through the reviews of people who has used the restaurant, hotel or tourism center before.
Issues
In modern days, towns and cities have been crowded and security is usually compromised. Moving from one place to another in search of a particular destination can be risky and wasteful of time and other resources. However, applications like Google Maps exist to help find directions; Town-Guide Application will integrate the geolocation feature with features of locating services in town and reviews from the customers and local residents. This will help visitors and tourists find the best services in terms of quality of the places, price range, distance from main centers and security of places. The application aims to have a comprehensive feature for the visitors to help them adopt quickly to the new city or town.
Objectives
Introduce a new android application for visitors at the end of next month to help lower their travelling costs by 50% and reduce the time for finding places and services to one minute. The project also aims to help visitors find category of services in a region by one click with details such as directions, ratings, costs and security.
Requirements
· System Requirements: System availability is 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year (99.9% uptime).
· Reporting Requirements: Weekly traffic report should be auto-generated and sent to the business owner of the application.
· Data requirements: interfacing the system with geolocation data, and other regional databases in terms infrastructure, security and services.
· Business requirements: after approval of the system’s database requirements, there should be five weeks of implementation of the project.
· Security requirements: need to secure the system through two level user authentication.Personnel Requirements: ...

This course focuses on “learning by doing.” In that spirit, you must complete 6 case study assignments (1 per module; see schedule) and develop management recommendations.
For each case that we will discuss, you are required to submit an executive summary briefing not exceeding 10 pages (1 ½ spaced, one inch margin on all sides) that contain your reflection, recommendations and the rationale for your reflection and recommendations. You must also reflect on the key tools and concepts used in the case and if you think these tools/concepts were appropriate and why you think so. You must also outline what you may have done differently if you were the project manager in charge of the project.
You may use an additional 3+ pages for an appendix that may contain tables and figures. These case write-ups are due on Moodle by the end of the module as per the schedule.
This should be handed in as an executive memo/executive briefing, addressed to your manager. The format should answer the following question:
· What is the problem that is being solved?
· What is the goal of the case study?
· Reflection and brief synopsis of key facts (Not a repeat of the case)
· What tools and concepts were used in the case? Do you think these tools/concepts were appropriate and why you think so?
· Brief reflection on the tool(s) and/or concept(s) used in the case.
· Supporting arguments and analysis that lead to your rationale.
· What additional tools would you include in this project and why?
· Supporting arguments and analysis that lead to your rationale.
· Was the project goal achieved? Why/Why not?
· What you may have done differently if you were the project manager in charge of the project?
· What are your ideas for next steps?
· Supporting arguments and analysis that lead to your rationale.
· Appendices: Any supporting backup material that would be needed to follow/support the recommendation.
Remember: Your opinion does NOT count; your recommendation and the support that your analysis provides does.

The Bhopal disaster occurred on December 3, 1984 at a Union Carbid.docx
The Bhopal disaster occurred on December 3, 1984 at a Union Carbide pesticide plant in Bhophal, Madhya Pradesh India. The pesticide plant leaked 40 tons of methyl isocyanine (MIC) into the air, exposing more than 500,000 people to the gas. There was a confirmed total of 3,787 deaths related to the gas release within the first 24 hours of exposure and another 15,000 related deaths to this day. It left an estimated 100,000 individuals permanently disabled and suffering from various serious illnesses. This leak is the worst industrial accident in modern day history.
I will attempt to answer the following questions within my final paper:
1. What impact did the Bhopal disaster have on safety regulations for an industrial setting?
2. What moral impact did the disaster have on the employees and stockholders of Union Carbide and the decisions they chose to handle the disaster?
3. What long-term impact did this disaster have in this region of India?
4. Internally, what could the management of the chemical plant and Union Carbide done differently?
This topic is critical to me because I work within a manufacturing setting. The rules and regulations that we abide to have had a major influence because of this disaster. This was BP Decades before the BP oil spill. They both share the same socially moral and ethical responsibility to their community and both have suffered sanctions for their handling of the disaster. As the result of this disaster, I hope to see how corporate responsibility to the community and employees evolve. How management styles have changed when listening to employees regarding the potential of faulty equipment. The responsibility the individual employee can have if there is any kind of wrongdoing.
IT 500: Final Project Guidelines and Grading Guide
Overview and Outcomes
The final project for this course is the creation of an IT Systems Development Project. This is a group project. You and your group will work on all the aspects to implementing a new or updated information system into a business from a project management perspective. Your group can choose a real-life implementation of one of your companies or use a scenario provided of a company thinking of implementing a new system.
Your group will have to consider all aspects of an IT systems development project for your company, including an overview, an implementation plan for the IT system, a timeline and resources, and a risk management plan for your organization.

Organization and Project Selection
The first step will be to select an organization (choose an organization or make one up.) as the target for your Enterprise Content Management and Data Governance Policies and Procedures Manual. This organization will be used as the basis for each of the assignments throughout the course and should conform to the following guidelines:
· Nontrivial: The organization should be large enough and should deal with sufficient amounts of data to allow reasonable exercise of the enterprise content management and data governance policies and procedures that you develop in your manual. Note that the organization should be similar to the organization presented in the Problem Based Learning Scenario, but the company does not have to be a consulting company. The company should, however, deal with clients and some of their sensitive data. The organization can be fictional if necessary, and appropriate assumptions may be made.
· Domain knowledge: You should be familiar enough with the organization to allow focus on the project tasks without significant time required for domain education.
· Accessibility: You should have good access to the people and other information related to the project because this will be an important part of the process.
· Note: The selected organization may already have an enterprise content management system in place and can still be used as the basis for the projects in this course.
Select an organization that meets these requirements, and submit your proposal to your instructor before proceeding further with the assignments in the course. Approval should be sought within the first several days of the course. Your instructor will tell you how to submit this proposal and what notification will be given for project approval.

Cosmetics as endocrine disruptors are they a health risk.docx
Cosmetics as endocrine disruptors: are they a health risk?
Polyxeni Nicolopoulou-Stamati1 & Luc Hens2 & Annie J. Sasco3
Published online: 29 January 2016
# Springer Science+Business Media New York 2016
Abstract Exposure to chemicals from different sources in
everyday life is widespread; one such source is the wide range
of products listed under the title Bcosmetics^, including the
different types of popular and widely-advertised sunscreens.
Women are encouraged through advertising to buy into the
myth of everlasting youth, and one of the most alarming con-
sequences is in utero exposure to chemicals. The main route of
exposure is the skin, but the main endpoint of exposure is
endocrine disruption. This is due to many substances in cos-
metics and sunscreens that have endocrine active properties
which affect reproductive health but which also have other
endpoints, such as cancer. Reducing the exposure to endocrine
disruptors is framed not only in the context of the reduction of
health risks, but is also significant against the background and
rise of ethical consumerism, and the responsibility of the cos-
metics industry in this respect. Although some plants show
endocrine-disrupting activity, the use of well-selected natural
products might reduce the use of synthetic chemicals.
Instruments dealing with this problem include life-cycle
analysis, eco-design, and green labels; in combination with
the committed use of environmental management systems,
they contribute to Bcorporate social responsibility .̂
Keywords Endocrine active substances . Endocrine
disruptors . Cosmetics . Sunscreens
1 Introduction
Women and men all over the world use large amount of cos-
metic products in pursuit of everlasting youth, ignoring the
probable health risks. The commercial category of Bcosmetic
products^ entails substances or mixtures of substances that are
designed mainly for external use, for instance to improve the
appearance; clean; perfume; and sometimes protect as in the
case of sunscreens [1]. Many cosmetic products such as oils
and lipsticks contain UV filters, even though they are not
marketed under the term Bsunscreens^ or Bsun lotions^.
Cosmetic products contain active substances, preservatives
and also the so-called Bfragrances^ or Bperfumes^, the exact
composition of which remains a secret under the trade secret
standards [2].
Increasing scientific concern exists about the nature and the
safety of the ingredients used by the cosmetics industry re-
garding their endocrine-disrupting effects. Although numer-
ous studies have proved the endocrine-disrupting potential of
many ingredients, such as parabens, phthalates and UV filters,
and also their ability to cause reproductive impairments [3–6],
these substances are still extensively used and characterized as
Bsafe^. The main justification is the fact that manufacturers
keep the concentrations of the suspected chemical substances
low in accordance with the relevant legislation. However, the
possib.
COSC2737 Assignment 2 IT Infrastructure in the Cloud. .docx
COSC2737 Assignment 2: IT Infrastructure in the Cloud.
In this assignment, you will combine 3 different cloud services to build an application of your choice.
Typically, this might include a web-facing component. The focus of the assignment is not this content, but
the infrastructure behind it – the “wiring”, if you will.
As part of the assignment, you will create a presentation video. If this is done well, you will be able to add
these to a portfolio of work that you can demonstrate at job interviews, etc….
NB. This assignment is focused on Amazon products, primarily because that is what we teach in ITIS,
but, you are also allowed to use Google or Microsoft products, or a combination – but only with prior
permission from the Course Coordinator. And we may not be able to help you if problems between
vendor products arises.
For this assignment, you will provide a simple working cloud implementation, and submit the contents in a
ZIP file to Canvas, along with a presentation video, a report, and an initial PDF “pitch” document submitted
some weeks earlier than the deadline.
Note that the web content itself is not evaluated, only how it is set up. So you can use material from
anywhere (as long as you cite it on the web pages).
List of Amazon Services: https://aws.amazon.com/products/
List of Amazon services available to AWS Educate: https://s3.amazonaws.com/awseducate-starter-account-
services/AWS_Educate_Starter_Accounts_and_AWS_Services.pdf also available on Canvas.
Submission Details
1. Build a cloud infrastructure using at least 3 components from the AWS list of products above:
1. This could be a server and storage, or compute, or whatever.
2. One of the components counted could be the use of Alexa services for query.
2. The topic of the website is up to you, but must have a least (say) 5 different pages, and must ideally
be some form of B2B flavour.
3. Submission will be the following:
1. Pitch Document – An initial “pitch” where you describe your proposal in a few paragraphs
(not more than a page)
1. This will be due in week 11
2. Worth 5%, and will provide feedback from your tutor.
2. Report – A PDF report containing the following sections
1. Rationale
- The rationale behind this website or cloud construction. More or less a copy
of the pitch in its final form.
2. Cost Estimates
- both development, fixed and cloud running and how these running cost
scales for LOW (1-1000 transactions/day), MEDIUM (1000-1,000,000), and
HIGH (above 1,000,000+ transactions per day) – hese costs all to be
itemised and justified
- Imagine you are a professional quoting for the job
3. An installation manual that
- contains instructions to recreate the website(s)
- A marker should be able to rebuild it him/herself from this
4. There is no limit on report size, but a guide is about 10-15 pages including figures,
screen dumps, etc.

Correlation and RegressionForecasting is a critical job for mana.docx
Correlation and Regression
Forecasting is a critical job for managers. Correlation and regression are two statistical methods used by managers for forecasting.
Correlation allows you to quantify how closely two variables are related. The correlation values or correlation coefficients have a range between -1.0 and +1.0. The closer the value is to the absolute value of 1, the stronger the correlation. The negative or positive sign indicates if the variables have a negative or positive correlation. A positive correlation exists when both variables increase or decrease. A negative correlation exists when one variable increases while the other variable decreases. If the two variables are independent and have no relationship, then the correlation is 0.
Be careful not to confuse correlation and causality. For instance, you can be reasonably sure that higher distribution and lower prices both cause higher sales; however, there are many things in this world that are correlated mathematically but are not at all related.
Regression is a statistical technique that lets you construct an equation to describe the relationship between the movements of two variables. On a scatter plot, the regression equation would calculate the best-fit line through the points. Regression allows you to forecast and simulate different scenarios by ascertaining the relationship between causes and effects. The causes are known as independent variables or drivers. The effects are known as dependent variables or what is being forecast.
You need to have a sufficient amount of history for the dependent variable and all the independent variables that you might think are useful in predicting the dependent variable to build a regression model. The minimum number of observations required is generally between 20 and 30. A key concept for regression is that it uses the past to predict the future. It assumes that relationships between historical dependent and independent variables will hold true for present of future dependent and independent variables.
There is an extension to the regression model, known as the multiple regression model. Adding another independent variable to a regression model turns it into a multiple regression model. The equation can become quite complex when more than two independent variables are added to the model, but these equations are rarely calculated by hand. Most commercial spreadsheet, accounting, and statistics software include these in their function library.

Correlation and Regression StudyBackground During this week .docx
Correlation and Regression Study
Background
During this week you will identify a research question created in Week 1 for which correlation or regression would be the best statistical approach to take. If you do not have a research question that indicates correlation or regression, review the research questions posted by your peers last week and select one that is ideal for correlation or regression.
Discussion Assignment Requirements
Initial Posting – In your initial posting for this assignment, include the following:
•Identify an appropriate research question that would require the use of correlation and regression to answer.
•Describe why this question is appropriate for a correlational study.
•Identify the two variables in this study and each of their attributes: discrete or continuous, quantitative or categorical, and scale of measurement (nominal, ordinal, interval, or ratio).
•Do the variables fit the qualifications of a correlational study? Explain.
•What type of correlation would you expect to find for this study (i.e., positive or negative)? Explain.
•What predictions might you be interested in making with these variables if the correlation is found to be significant?
Article Critique: Correlation & Regression
The readings for this week focus on the concepts of correlation and regression. In this discussion we will apply those concepts to the review and critique of Wagenheim & Anderson (2008). For information on how to critique a research article, see the Coughlan et al. (2007) from your resources in Week 1 and UIS (n.d.) from your resources in Week 2.
In the body of your posting, include an overview of the following topics:
•Research question – State the research question for the study.
•Methods and study design – Describe the basic methods used, including the variables, sampling methods, data collection, etc.
•Data analysis – Summarize the statistical tests conducted, the results obtained from each test, and the conclusions regarding the research question.
•Critique – Critique the results of the study, paying specific attention to the appropriateness of the analyses conducted, any biases or assumptions that were made, practical significance of the results, and recommendations for improving upon the study (methods or analyses).
•Summary – Provide a brief summary of the study's findings in 2-3 sentences. Do not use any numbers or statistical terms, but provide a review that would make sense to someone who has not studied research methods or statistics.
Be sure to put information in your own words and to cite appropriately. Respond substantively to at least two of your classmates’ postings. Specifically, focus on their critique of the results and discussion of the analysis. Do you agree with their assessment? What questions did the study leave you with? How might you have done this study differently? What do you see as the limitations of the study as compared to your classmates?

This course focuses on “learning by doing.” In that spirit, you must complete 6 case study assignments (1 per module; see schedule) and develop management recommendations.
For each case that we will discuss, you are required to submit an executive summary briefing not exceeding 10 pages (1 ½ spaced, one inch margin on all sides) that contain your reflection, recommendations and the rationale for your reflection and recommendations. You must also reflect on the key tools and concepts used in the case and if you think these tools/concepts were appropriate and why you think so. You must also outline what you may have done differently if you were the project manager in charge of the project.
You may use an additional 3+ pages for an appendix that may contain tables and figures. These case write-ups are due on Moodle by the end of the module as per the schedule.
This should be handed in as an executive memo/executive briefing, addressed to your manager. The format should answer the following question:
· What is the problem that is being solved?
· What is the goal of the case study?
· Reflection and brief synopsis of key facts (Not a repeat of the case)
· What tools and concepts were used in the case? Do you think these tools/concepts were appropriate and why you think so?
· Brief reflection on the tool(s) and/or concept(s) used in the case.
· Supporting arguments and analysis that lead to your rationale.
· What additional tools would you include in this project and why?
· Supporting arguments and analysis that lead to your rationale.
· Was the project goal achieved? Why/Why not?
· What you may have done differently if you were the project manager in charge of the project?
· What are your ideas for next steps?
· Supporting arguments and analysis that lead to your rationale.
· Appendices: Any supporting backup material that would be needed to follow/support the recommendation.
Remember: Your opinion does NOT count; your recommendation and the support that your analysis provides does.

The Bhopal disaster occurred on December 3, 1984 at a Union Carbid.docx
The Bhopal disaster occurred on December 3, 1984 at a Union Carbide pesticide plant in Bhophal, Madhya Pradesh India. The pesticide plant leaked 40 tons of methyl isocyanine (MIC) into the air, exposing more than 500,000 people to the gas. There was a confirmed total of 3,787 deaths related to the gas release within the first 24 hours of exposure and another 15,000 related deaths to this day. It left an estimated 100,000 individuals permanently disabled and suffering from various serious illnesses. This leak is the worst industrial accident in modern day history.
I will attempt to answer the following questions within my final paper:
1. What impact did the Bhopal disaster have on safety regulations for an industrial setting?
2. What moral impact did the disaster have on the employees and stockholders of Union Carbide and the decisions they chose to handle the disaster?
3. What long-term impact did this disaster have in this region of India?
4. Internally, what could the management of the chemical plant and Union Carbide done differently?
This topic is critical to me because I work within a manufacturing setting. The rules and regulations that we abide to have had a major influence because of this disaster. This was BP Decades before the BP oil spill. They both share the same socially moral and ethical responsibility to their community and both have suffered sanctions for their handling of the disaster. As the result of this disaster, I hope to see how corporate responsibility to the community and employees evolve. How management styles have changed when listening to employees regarding the potential of faulty equipment. The responsibility the individual employee can have if there is any kind of wrongdoing.
IT 500: Final Project Guidelines and Grading Guide
Overview and Outcomes
The final project for this course is the creation of an IT Systems Development Project. This is a group project. You and your group will work on all the aspects to implementing a new or updated information system into a business from a project management perspective. Your group can choose a real-life implementation of one of your companies or use a scenario provided of a company thinking of implementing a new system.
Your group will have to consider all aspects of an IT systems development project for your company, including an overview, an implementation plan for the IT system, a timeline and resources, and a risk management plan for your organization. Your role is to oversee this new system implementation from a management perspective while keeping in mind your learned knowledge of IT in this course.
This project is divided into several milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions. The final project submission consists of a Group Paper due in Module Ten and a Group Presentation due in Module Eleven.
This project will demonstrate your knowledge of the steps needed to impl ...

Organization and Project Selection
The first step will be to select an organization (choose an organization or make one up.) as the target for your Enterprise Content Management and Data Governance Policies and Procedures Manual. This organization will be used as the basis for each of the assignments throughout the course and should conform to the following guidelines:
· Nontrivial: The organization should be large enough and should deal with sufficient amounts of data to allow reasonable exercise of the enterprise content management and data governance policies and procedures that you develop in your manual. Note that the organization should be similar to the organization presented in the Problem Based Learning Scenario, but the company does not have to be a consulting company. The company should, however, deal with clients and some of their sensitive data. The organization can be fictional if necessary, and appropriate assumptions may be made.
· Domain knowledge: You should be familiar enough with the organization to allow focus on the project tasks without significant time required for domain education.
· Accessibility: You should have good access to the people and other information related to the project because this will be an important part of the process.
· Note: The selected organization may already have an enterprise content management system in place and can still be used as the basis for the projects in this course.
Select an organization that meets these requirements, and submit your proposal to your instructor before proceeding further with the assignments in the course. Approval should be sought within the first several days of the course. Your instructor will tell you how to submit this proposal and what notification will be given for project approval.

Cosmetics as endocrine disruptors are they a health risk.docx
Cosmetics as endocrine disruptors: are they a health risk?
Polyxeni Nicolopoulou-Stamati1 & Luc Hens2 & Annie J. Sasco3
Published online: 29 January 2016
# Springer Science+Business Media New York 2016
Abstract Exposure to chemicals from different sources in
everyday life is widespread; one such source is the wide range
of products listed under the title Bcosmetics^, including the
different types of popular and widely-advertised sunscreens.
Women are encouraged through advertising to buy into the
myth of everlasting youth, and one of the most alarming con-
sequences is in utero exposure to chemicals. The main route of
exposure is the skin, but the main endpoint of exposure is
endocrine disruption. This is due to many substances in cos-
metics and sunscreens that have endocrine active properties
which affect reproductive health but which also have other
endpoints, such as cancer. Reducing the exposure to endocrine
disruptors is framed not only in the context of the reduction of
health risks, but is also significant against the background and
rise of ethical consumerism, and the responsibility of the cos-
metics industry in this respect. Although some plants show
endocrine-disrupting activity, the use of well-selected natural
products might reduce the use of synthetic chemicals.
Instruments dealing with this problem include life-cycle
analysis, eco-design, and green labels; in combination with
the committed use of environmental management systems,
they contribute to Bcorporate social responsibility .̂
Keywords Endocrine active substances . Endocrine
disruptors . Cosmetics . Sunscreens
1 Introduction
Women and men all over the world use large amount of cos-
metic products in pursuit of everlasting youth, ignoring the
probable health risks. The commercial category of Bcosmetic
products^ entails substances or mixtures of substances that are
designed mainly for external use, for instance to improve the
appearance; clean; perfume; and sometimes protect as in the
case of sunscreens [1]. Many cosmetic products such as oils
and lipsticks contain UV filters, even though they are not
marketed under the term Bsunscreens^ or Bsun lotions^.
Cosmetic products contain active substances, preservatives
and also the so-called Bfragrances^ or Bperfumes^, the exact
composition of which remains a secret under the trade secret
standards [2].
Increasing scientific concern exists about the nature and the
safety of the ingredients used by the cosmetics industry re-
garding their endocrine-disrupting effects. Although numer-
ous studies have proved the endocrine-disrupting potential of
many ingredients, such as parabens, phthalates and UV filters,
and also their ability to cause reproductive impairments [3–6],
these substances are still extensively used and characterized as
Bsafe^. The main justification is the fact that manufacturers
keep the concentrations of the suspected chemical substances
low in accordance with the relevant legislation. However, the
possib.
COSC2737 Assignment 2 IT Infrastructure in the Cloud. .docx
COSC2737 Assignment 2: IT Infrastructure in the Cloud.
In this assignment, you will combine 3 different cloud services to build an application of your choice.
Typically, this might include a web-facing component. The focus of the assignment is not this content, but
the infrastructure behind it – the “wiring”, if you will.
As part of the assignment, you will create a presentation video. If this is done well, you will be able to add
these to a portfolio of work that you can demonstrate at job interviews, etc….
NB. This assignment is focused on Amazon products, primarily because that is what we teach in ITIS,
but, you are also allowed to use Google or Microsoft products, or a combination – but only with prior
permission from the Course Coordinator. And we may not be able to help you if problems between
vendor products arises.
For this assignment, you will provide a simple working cloud implementation, and submit the contents in a
ZIP file to Canvas, along with a presentation video, a report, and an initial PDF “pitch” document submitted
some weeks earlier than the deadline.
Note that the web content itself is not evaluated, only how it is set up. So you can use material from
anywhere (as long as you cite it on the web pages).
List of Amazon Services: https://aws.amazon.com/products/
List of Amazon services available to AWS Educate: https://s3.amazonaws.com/awseducate-starter-account-
services/AWS_Educate_Starter_Accounts_and_AWS_Services.pdf also available on Canvas.
Submission Details
1. Build a cloud infrastructure using at least 3 components from the AWS list of products above:
1. This could be a server and storage, or compute, or whatever.
2. One of the components counted could be the use of Alexa services for query.
2. The topic of the website is up to you, but must have a least (say) 5 different pages, and must ideally
be some form of B2B flavour.
3. Submission will be the following:
1. Pitch Document – An initial “pitch” where you describe your proposal in a few paragraphs
(not more than a page)
1. This will be due in week 11
2. Worth 5%, and will provide feedback from your tutor.
2. Report – A PDF report containing the following sections
1. Rationale
- The rationale behind this website or cloud construction. More or less a copy
of the pitch in its final form.
2. Cost Estimates
- both development, fixed and cloud running and how these running cost
scales for LOW (1-1000 transactions/day), MEDIUM (1000-1,000,000), and
HIGH (above 1,000,000+ transactions per day) – hese costs all to be
itemised and justified
- Imagine you are a professional quoting for the job
3. An installation manual that
- contains instructions to recreate the website(s)
- A marker should be able to rebuild it him/herself from this
4. There is no limit on report size, but a guide is about 10-15 pages including figures,
screen dumps, etc.

Correlation and RegressionForecasting is a critical job for mana.docx
Correlation and Regression
Forecasting is a critical job for managers. Correlation and regression are two statistical methods used by managers for forecasting.
Correlation allows you to quantify how closely two variables are related. The correlation values or correlation coefficients have a range between -1.0 and +1.0. The closer the value is to the absolute value of 1, the stronger the correlation. The negative or positive sign indicates if the variables have a negative or positive correlation. A positive correlation exists when both variables increase or decrease. A negative correlation exists when one variable increases while the other variable decreases. If the two variables are independent and have no relationship, then the correlation is 0.
Be careful not to confuse correlation and causality. For instance, you can be reasonably sure that higher distribution and lower prices both cause higher sales; however, there are many things in this world that are correlated mathematically but are not at all related.
Regression is a statistical technique that lets you construct an equation to describe the relationship between the movements of two variables. On a scatter plot, the regression equation would calculate the best-fit line through the points. Regression allows you to forecast and simulate different scenarios by ascertaining the relationship between causes and effects. The causes are known as independent variables or drivers. The effects are known as dependent variables or what is being forecast.
You need to have a sufficient amount of history for the dependent variable and all the independent variables that you might think are useful in predicting the dependent variable to build a regression model. The minimum number of observations required is generally between 20 and 30. A key concept for regression is that it uses the past to predict the future. It assumes that relationships between historical dependent and independent variables will hold true for present of future dependent and independent variables.
There is an extension to the regression model, known as the multiple regression model. Adding another independent variable to a regression model turns it into a multiple regression model. The equation can become quite complex when more than two independent variables are added to the model, but these equations are rarely calculated by hand. Most commercial spreadsheet, accounting, and statistics software include these in their function library.

Correlation and Regression Study
Background
During this week you will identify a research question created in Week 1 for which correlation or regression would be the best statistical approach to take. If you do not have a research question that indicates correlation or regression, review the research questions posted by your peers last week and select one that is ideal for correlation or regression.
Discussion Assignment Requirements
Initial Posting – In your initial posting for this assignment, include the following:
•Identify an appropriate research question that would require the use of correlation and regression to answer.
•Describe why this question is appropriate for a correlational study.
•Identify the two variables in this study and each of their attributes: discrete or continuous, quantitative or categorical, and scale of measurement (nominal, ordinal, interval, or ratio).
•Do the variables fit the qualifications of a correlational study? Explain.
•What type of correlation would you expect to find for this study (i.e., positive or negative)? Explain.
•What predictions might you be interested in making with these variables if the correlation is found to be significant?
Article Critique: Correlation & Regression
The readings for this week focus on the concepts of correlation and regression. In this discussion we will apply those concepts to the review and critique of Wagenheim & Anderson (2008). For information on how to critique a research article, see the Coughlan et al. (2007) from your resources in Week 1 and UIS (n.d.) from your resources in Week 2.
In the body of your posting, include an overview of the following topics:
•Research question – State the research question for the study.
•Methods and study design – Describe the basic methods used, including the variables, sampling methods, data collection, etc.
•Data analysis – Summarize the statistical tests conducted, the results obtained from each test, and the conclusions regarding the research question.
•Critique – Critique the results of the study, paying specific attention to the appropriateness of the analyses conducted, any biases or assumptions that were made, practical significance of the results, and recommendations for improving upon the study (methods or analyses).
•Summary – Provide a brief summary of the study's findings in 2-3 sentences. Do not use any numbers or statistical terms, but provide a review that would make sense to someone who has not studied research methods or statistics.
Be sure to put information in your own words and to cite appropriately. Respond substantively to at least two of your classmates’ postings. Specifically, focus on their critique of the results and discussion of the analysis. Do you agree with their assessment? What questions did the study leave you with?

PART ONE: A BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO COUNSELING AND CORRECTIONS
There are many myths concerning the concept of counseling. Although the image of the counseling field has changed dramatically over the past two or three decades, much of society still views counseling and therapy as a mystic process reserved for those who lack the ability to handle life issues effectively. While the concept of counseling is often misunderstood, the problem is exacerbated when attempting to introduce the idea of correctional counseling. Therefore, the primary goal of this chapter is to provide a working definition of correctional counseling that includes descriptions of how and when it is carried out. In order to understand the concept of correctional counseling, however, the two words that derive the concept must first be defined: “corrections” and “counseling.” In addition, a concerted effort is made to identify the myriad of legal and ethical issues that pertain to counselors working with offenders.
It is very difficult to identify a single starting point for the counseling profession. In essence, there were various movements occurring simultaneously that later evolved into what we now describe as counseling. One of the earliest connections to the origins of counseling took place in Europe during the Middle Ages (Brown & Srebalus, 2003). The primary objective was assisting individuals with career choices. This type of counseling service is usually described by the concept of “guidance.” In the late 1800s Wilhelm Wundt and G. Stanley Hall created two of the first known psychological laboratories aimed at studying and treating individuals with psychological and emotional problems (Brown & Srebalus, 2003). Around the same time (1890), Sigmund Freud began treating mental patients with his patented technique of psychoanalysis. As a result, the origins of counseling can be traced to two different but simultaneous movements: (1) guidance and (2) psychotherapy.
Guidance
Guidance has been used as a concept to describe the process of helping individuals identify and choose what they value most (Gladding, 1996). Guidance can occur in any instance where one individual, usually more experienced, helps another to identify choices that best refle.

Intensive motivational program of alternative correctional treatment (IMPACT) is a program that is based on the two phases, it is continuation shock incarcerations that initially started in the 1987. The mission of the program is to engage the offenders who are sentenced for 7 years into correctional program. Goals of the program is to engage the offender voluntarily in the two phase program and they can quite if they are not willing to continue the program. The offenders ahs to pass through the phases and complete the instructions of the drill instructors. The target population is based on the offender who do not mix in to normal general population. IMPACT is among the top three programs of the state to correct and rehabilitate the offenders (Mackenzie & Shaw, 2006).

Population : Offenders with sentence of seven years
Effectiveness:
Increased the prosocial behavior in offenders
Decreased the aggression and anxiety
Improvements have been seen in the offenders that lead them towards rehabilitation.
The program is effective for the offenders by send in to the offenders into military boot camps.

CORPORATE TRAINING 2
Corporate Training
Today, managers need well-trained employees and are finding they do not exist.
Corporations are, therefore, providing additional training for their employees. One such training
program that is being added to corporate learning environments is an awareness of emotional
intelligence. Business managers are learning that successful managers need high Emotional
Quotient (EQ) or Emotional Intelligence (EI) to work effectively. Emotional intelligence is the
ability to accurately perceive emotions in self and others, to identify different emotional
responses, and to use emotional information to make intelligent decisions (Goleman, 2000). A
leading expert on EQ finds that “people good at managing relationships tend also to be self-
aware, self-regulating, and empathetic” (Goleman, 2000, p. 33). Emotional intelligence is
especially important “at the highest levels of the company, where differences in technical skills
are of little importance. In other words, the higher the rank of the person, the more emotional
intelligence capabilities are needed for decision making effectiveness” (Goleman, 1986, p. 94).
Emotional intelligence is crucial to a successful business career and for effective group
performance (Goleman, 1986). The core competencies required for emotional intelligence are
“the perception of emotions in one’s self and others, the understanding of these emotions, and
the management of emotions” (Feldman, 2001, ¶ 4). Success in the modern workplace requires
teamwork and collaboration. Emotional Intelligence training is essential since most modern

Notes
Ch1 corporations
Complete the problems as presented in this document. You may create a new document and/or spreadsheet as needed. Any memo should be no more than 3 pages in length. Please state any assumptions used if problems are not clear.
Problem 1
Your client, a physician, recently purchased a yacht on which he flies a pennant with a medical emblem on it. He recently informed you that he purchased the yacht and flies the pennant to advertise his occupation and thus attract new patients. He has asked you if he may deduct as ordinary and necessary business expenses the costs of insuring and maintaining the yacht. In search of an answer, consult RIA’s CHECKPOINT TAX available on-line through the SNHU Shapiro Library. Explain the steps taken to find your answer.
Problem 2
Stacey Small has a small salon that she has run for a few years as a sole proprietorship. The proprietorship uses the cash method of accounting and the calendar year as its tax year. Stacey needs additional capital for expansion and knows two people who might be interested in investing. One would like to practice hairdressing in the salon. The other would only invest.
Stacey wants to know the tax consequences of incorporating the business. Her business assets include a building, equipment, accounts receivable and cash. Liabilities include a mortgage on the building and a few accounts payable, which are deductible when paid.
Write a memo to Stacey explaining the tax consequences of the incorporation. As part of your memo examine the possibility of having the corporation issue common and preferred stock and debt for the shareholders’ property and money.
Problem 3
Five years ago, Lacey, Kaylee, and Doug organized a software corporation, DLK, which develops and sells Online Meetings software for businesses. DLK is a C corporation. Each individual contributed $10,000 to the company in exchange for 1,000 shares of DLK stock (for a total of 3,000 shares). The corporation also borrowed $250,000 from ACME Venture Capital to finance operating costs and capital expenditures.
Because of intense competition, DLK struggled for the first few years of operation and the corporation sustained chronic losses. This year, Lacey, DLK’s president, decided to seek additional funds to finance DLK’s working capital.
CME declined to extend additional funds because of the money already invested in DLK. High Tech Venture Capital Inc. proposed to lend DLK $100,000, but at a 10% premium over the prime rate. (Other software manufacturers in the same market can borrow at a 3% premium.) First Round Capital proposed to invest $50,000 of equity capital into DLK, but on the condition that the investment firm be granted the right to elect five members to DLK’s board of directors. Discouraged by the “high cost” of external borrowing, Lacey decides to approach Kaylee and Doug.

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

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
