Part 1: During the most recent economic crisis in the state of Arizona, home values decreased
dramatically and homeowners began walking away from their homes in large numbers. This was
largely due to the fact that they owned more on the home than it was worth and in many cases
they could no longer afford to make the payments. Financial institutions foreclosed on large
numbers of homes and forced the owners to leave. As they left their real property homeowners
ofter stripped the home of anything valuable they could remove. Homeowners took appliances,
window coverings, light fixtures, ceiling fans, water heaters, rugs and carpets,plumbing fixtures
(toilets, sinks, showers, bathtubs etc.) electrical wiring, doors, cabinets and sometimes even
windows and outdoor plants from property they no longer owned.
Given the understanding that many of these things qualify as "fixtures" that are attached and
should remain with real property (the home), discuss in an original post whether or not you think
their decision to remove these items is ethical (or even legal?) How do you think some of these
people justified taking these items? Do you agree or disagree with that reasoning? Should the
financial institutions have pursued legal action against these people?
Part 2:
Recently Martin Shkreli (Pharma Bro on social media) a former pharmaceutical CEO was
convicted of securities fraud in the State of New York. Many claim that it was really his
personality that people did not like and that he did nothing wrong. Read this article from the
Chicago TribuneLinks to an external site. and watch this CNBCLinks to an external site. video
interview with Martin Shkreli included with the article about the case and discuss with your
classmates in an original post your opinion of the case. What do you think about his decision to
dramatically raise the price of a drug used to treat HIV? Is he a "pariah" or just a good
businessman? What do you think about the claims he was running a Ponzi scheme? Do you
think if he had not raised the price of the drug, the securities allegations may never have been
made? After all, there are investors who made money through his company..

Please show me your output. Andrew Kelly has been employed by the Wearever Tire and
Rubber Company for more than twenty-five years. Kelly is, despite his long service, only 43
years of age. He began employment in the mail room right after high school, received several
promotions, and was, at the age of 21 transferred to the credit department. Kelly has been there
ever since and is now the senior employee in the department of sixty people. Kelly is the
quintessential "valuable employee." His loyalty to the company has never wavered or been
questioned. His attendance and punctuality records are virtually without blemish. He is a
consistent worker, though, "no genius," and has efficient work habits that only years of service
bring to a man of his sort. Kelly is friendly but not gregarious. He makes no waves, and when he
sees a problem, he takes care of it without comment. Kelly was often portrayed by his
supervisors and colleagues as a "good soldier." Robert Bennington, who had been credit manager
for twenty-six years, has announced his retirement. Management is now faced with the problem
of selecting his replacement. This is no easy task since Bennington and Kelly have been good
friends for many years. The retiring manager has, as would be expected, recommended that his
friend Kelly replace him. Top management, however, long ago pegged Kelly as "not good
management material." While the people who originally rated Kelly have long since retired, the
present management simply believes Kelly is not aggressive enough to be the effective leader of
fifty-nine other workers. Moreover, a younger man with five years of experience in credit has
caught management's eye. Mike Fitzmaurice is 30 years old and "looks like management
material." Too, he outclasses Kelly in education with an accounting degree from a prominent
school of business, along with some additional work toward an MBA. From the start,
Fitzmaurice has been a Wearever "junior executive" in the company's training program. He
appears to make up for his limited experience with drive and originality. People at Wearever
seem to think he can "go far."
Top management would like to promote Fitzmaurice to the position of credit manager but fears
that the senior employee, Kelly, might be so offended that his effectiveness as a hard-working
employee would be diminished. There is also an element of management's appearing ungrateful
for Kelly's years of service. Other employees might come to believe that service counts for
nothing. Wearever, like many other large firms, has rewarded worker longevity with a package
of benefits, incentives and often promotion. The retirement of the credit manager has forced the
issue. Wearever must now decide on old reliable Kelly, or the bright newcomer Fitzmaurice.

Please show me how to do every part of this. Also could you show me the circuit in Logsim. I
am having trouble with this. Thank you!
In this assignment you will translate a system description into a FSM state diagram and
then transform it into a FSM controller circuit in Logisim by utilizing a truth table and
Boolean equations.
System Description & State Diagram
First task: Transform the following system description into a FSM state diagram (you
can use any tool to create this diagram, which allows you to draw circles and connect
arrows between them; hand-drawn diagrams will not be accepted). Make sure you are
using the correct notation for the state diagram. Use the given labels for everything,
dont pick your own labels. Everything is defined and you dont have to choose your
own labels at any point during this assignment.
Use minterms for every transition event in the state diagram (each event must be a
specific configuration of all inputs) to avoid incomplete and non-exclusive transitions. If
the state does not change for certain events, make sure to model this behavior with an
appropriate transition.
This system represents a simplified version of an espresso machine, which is able to pull
an espresso (pump hot water through a portafilter), dispense hot water (pump water
through the wand) and dispense steam for steaming milk (increase heat to generate
steam and release it through the wand). The machine has just two buttons to use these
functions: An espresso pull button and a wand button. The circuit you are developing
will control the pump, the boiler temperature (lower temperature for espresso and hot
water, higher temperature for steam) and a valve that routes the boiler output between
the portafilter and the wand.
Below is the detailed system description, which will be used to create the state diagram
of this system.
The system has two 1-bit inputs:
1. Espresso Pull (label: E)
2. Wand (label: W )
The system has three 1-bit outputs:
1. Pump (label: P), which will either activate (1) or deactivate (0) the water
pump, which pumps water into the boiler
2. Boiler (label: B), which will set the boiler temperature to a low level (0) (for
brewing an espresso or dispensing hot water) or a high level (1) (for generating
steam)
3. Valve (label: V ), which will either open (1) or close (0) the valve to the wand
The system has four states: Idle in which the pump is deactivated, the heat is on
low setting and the wand valve closed; Espresso, here the pump is activated, heat
is on low and the valve closed; Water, pump is activated, heat on low and valve to
the wand is open; Steam, pump is deactivated, heat is on high to generate steam
and the wand valve is open.
The encoding of the states is as follows:
Idle: 00
Espresso: 01
Water: 10
Steam: 11
If the system is in the Idle state, it will transition into Espresso, if only the Espresso
Pull button is pressed. It will transition into Steam, if only the Wand button is
pressed. For every other button combi.

Please help with the below 3 questions, the python script is at the.pdfsupport58
Please help with the below 3 questions, the python script is at the bottom, I cannot get it to work
correctly please indicate where the error is. Thanks
Question-01: Approximately how much longer does it take to do a round-trip ping from/to a
remote machine than from/to localhost? (Note, answers may vary if you are doing the
experiment from your home or from the CS building itself and whether the destination is in
North America or some other continent).
Question-02: Currently, the program calculates the round-trip time for each packet and prints it
out individually. Modify this to correspond to the way the standard ping program works. You
will need to report the minimum, maximum, and average RTTs at the end of all pings from the
client. In addition, calculate the packet loss rate (in percentage).
Question-03: Your program can only detect timeouts in receiving ICMP echo responses. Modify
the Pinger program to parse the ICMP response error codes and display the corresponding error
results to the user. Examples of ICMP response error codes are 0: Destination Network
Unreachable, 1: Destination Host Unreachable.
In this lab, you will gain a better understanding of Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP).
You will learn to implement a Ping application using ICMP request and reply messages. Ping is
a computer network application used to test whether a particular host is reachable across an IP
network. It is also used to self-test the network interface card of the computer or as a latency test.
It works by sending ICMP echo reply packets to the target host and listening for ICMP echo
reply replies. The "echo reply" is sometimes called a pong. Ping measures the round-trip time,
records packet loss, and prints a statistical summary of the echo reply packets received (the
minimum, maximum, and the mean of the round-trip times and in some versions the standard
deviation of the mean).
Your task is to develop your own Ping application in Python. Your application will use ICMP
but, in order to keep it simple, will not exactly follow the official specification in RFC 1739.
Note that you will only need to write the client side of the program, as the functionality needed
on the server side is built into almost all operating systems. You should complete the Ping
application so that it sends ping requests to a specified host separated by approximately one
second. Each message contains a payload of data that includes a timestamp. After sending each
packet, the application waits up to one second to receive a reply. If one second goes by without a
reply from the server, then the client assumes that either the ping packet or the pong packet was
lost in the network (or that the server is down).
This lab requires you to compose new python code. A skeleton framework is given, you will
need to fill in the blanks.
This lab will require you to build and/or decode a packed binary array of data that is specified by
the ICMP protocol. To assist you, the ICMP protocol speci.

Some guidelines for your code - Enums- When you have different types of an entity, you might
want to create a single class and represent different types using Enums. - Inheritance - Entities
that have similar types can be divided into parent and child classes using inheritance. You should
write down the common functionality in the parent class and override or add different
functionality as per specifications in child classes. - Interfaces - Interfaces help you define the
contracts/functionality that a class should follow. When you want to use same method in
different classes which are unrelated, use interfaces. When you have same functionality in
similar classes use inheritance. - Polymorphism - Sometimes same method may have different
functionality based on different parameters/data. You must use polymorphism in that case. -
Generics - You may or may not use Generics to handle some common functionality between
different classes. - Exception Handing - There are various kinds of exceptions present in the
specifications. Try and implement the exceptions the right way. - File Handling - You may want
to create different classes or interfaces for classes handling file read/write. Make sure to catch the
exceptions that occurs with File Handling. - Collections - Collections are great way to store data
in a compact manner. Use ArrayList instead of Arrays. Make use of HashMaps if necessary. -
Encapsulation - It is important you write the right method in the right classes. This gains you
marks. Encapsulate the data properties and action taken on them in a class. - Make things private
where necessary. If inheritance is used, make things protected. Only getters/setters and methods
should be public wherever needed. - Packages - similar classes are packaged together. For eg -
you can package interfaces together or enums together in a package.
Entities To understand the mission better, let's look at the entities. Once we have.

Please answer ASAP!!!Research Topic Ransomware attack on k-12 sch.pdfsupport58
Please answer ASAP!!!
Research Topic: Ransomware attack on k-12 schools (2013-present)
BLUF Statement: The persistent surge in ransomware attacks targeting K-12 schools underscores
the urgent need for enhanced cybersecurity measures, as a failure to address this issue will likely
lead to disruptions of education and compromised student data, endangering the future of our
education system.
Scope Note: This research paper will provide a comprehensive overview of ransomware attacks
on K-12 schools to address the alarming rise in ransomware attacks from 2013 to present. The
paper will focus on the frequency, vulnerabilities, evolving tactics, consequences, and
significance of these attacks, as well as the need for proactive cybersecurity measures. It will not
address ransomware incidents in other sectors or provide an extensive historical overview of
ransomware. This work will build on previous research on ransomware attacks on K-12 schools,
but it takes a new approach by focusing on five key points. The information will be current as of
September 30, 2023.
Based on the information, answer the following:
Treat something about your chosen term paper assignment as a High Impact Low Probability
(black swan) event. Think of
your event and then think of what black swan event could come next (but has not happened, yet).
You must:
Define 2 pathways
Identify 3 trigger points/changes in momentum for each of the 2 pathways
Identify 2 observables for each of the 6 trigger points
Identify 2 factors to deflect each of the 6 trigger points.
Briefly explain everything!
Examples of what your High Impact Low Probability event could be:
the malicious actors behind your event committing a radically different TTP, such as hacktivists
using multiple 0days
in one attack or a ransomware gang switching to stealing files for espionage purposes;
the TTP changes in a radical way, such as the ransomware actors suddenly switching back to
opportunistic targeting
with low ransoms against many victims;
a new leak of information for a clearly different purposes, such as journalists receiving a large
dump of files that
expose ransomware gangs instead of political/financial crimes; or
information that indicates country 1 was using denial and deception techniques to make it look
like country 2 was
behind your incident but it was really country 1 all along.
High Impact Low Probability Analysis
Highlights a seemingly unlikely event that would have major policy consequences if it
happened.
Use when its unlikely but would have substantial impact if it happened
Use when there are concerns that policymakers and decision makers are ignoring the
consequences of a potential event they should be concerned about
Help uncover hidden relationships and key factors
Identify oversights in the mainstream analytic line
Periodic review helps counter prevailing mind-set errors

In this stage we will complete the odd-number input case, adding stars to create the diamond. So
if the user enters 15 , the program should output: To do this, we will overload the fillarray()
function. The following function definition is required: void fillarray (char fill, char chArray[],
unsigned int start, unsigned int end); where fillArray would fill the indices from start to end-1
(not including end). When overloading, we should not be duplicating code. It is likely that the

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
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...Levi Shapiro
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

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
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.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Part 1 During the most recent economic crisis in the state of Arizo.pdf
1. Part 1: During the most recent economic crisis in the state of Arizona, home values decreased
dramatically and homeowners began walking away from their homes in large numbers. This was
largely due to the fact that they owned more on the home than it was worth and in many cases
they could no longer afford to make the payments. Financial institutions foreclosed on large
numbers of homes and forced the owners to leave. As they left their real property homeowners
ofter stripped the home of anything valuable they could remove. Homeowners took appliances,
window coverings, light fixtures, ceiling fans, water heaters, rugs and carpets,plumbing fixtures
(toilets, sinks, showers, bathtubs etc.) electrical wiring, doors, cabinets and sometimes even
windows and outdoor plants from property they no longer owned.
Given the understanding that many of these things qualify as "fixtures" that are attached and
should remain with real property (the home), discuss in an original post whether or not you think
their decision to remove these items is ethical (or even legal?) How do you think some of these
people justified taking these items? Do you agree or disagree with that reasoning? Should the
financial institutions have pursued legal action against these people?
Part 2:
Recently Martin Shkreli (Pharma Bro on social media) a former pharmaceutical CEO was
convicted of securities fraud in the State of New York. Many claim that it was really his
personality that people did not like and that he did nothing wrong. Read this article from the
Chicago TribuneLinks to an external site. and watch this CNBCLinks to an external site. video
interview with Martin Shkreli included with the article about the case and discuss with your
classmates in an original post your opinion of the case. What do you think about his decision to
dramatically raise the price of a drug used to treat HIV? Is he a "pariah" or just a good
businessman? What do you think about the claims he was running a Ponzi scheme? Do you
think if he had not raised the price of the drug, the securities allegations may never have been
made? After all, there are investors who made money through his company.
