Step 2 of 3:

Locate two articles from the University Library or the Internet and discuss the following in 75 to 100 words per article:

• Is the information contained in the articles reliable? Explain.
• Are the authors credible or non-credible? Why or why not?
• Does the article, the message, or the messenger show character, competence, connection, ethics, or integrity?

Step 3 of 3:

Reflect on your original opinion of your topic in 50 to 75 words. Consider the following questions for your response:

• Has your opinion changed after reading the articles? Why or why not?
• Which of the two articles was more persuasive? Why?
• What type of information and research would you need to change your opinion if it did not change?

Disaster Recovery Plan
Students will submit a 750-1,000-word paper (double-spaced) this week, identifying and describing the key components of a comprehensive disaster recovery plan for any incident that could disrupt an organization’s network and data. This paper should start with the composition of the disaster recovery team and their respective roles and responsibilities.

Go “outside the classroom” and observe or recall a previous observation of a facilitator leading a group. (This observation can be within your organization, personal experiences, volunteer experiences, etc.

**Identify what you would have done differently, and what skills used by the facilitator that were most effective in handling the group

The needs to be 2 complete pages in length with reference to the book

Roger Schwarz – The Skilled Facilitatorr new and revised

For each of the four variables listed above, identify the level of measurement (nominal, ordinal, interval, or ratio) for each and explain how you reached this conclusion.

 

For the different variable levels (nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio), identify the most appropriate measure of central tendency (mean, median, or mode).

 

 

For the variables, HOME, TENURE and SIBLINGS, identify the correct measure of central tendency and explain why it is appropriate. Locate the values for the measure on the tables and report them for each variable.

 

Based on the data, what conclusions can you draw about gang members?

WK 6.2 – Summarizing, Paraphrasing, and Quoting
Use MLA or APA guidelines to give credit to information that is not your original thought. Post your first discussion response no later than 11:59 p.m. ET on Wednesday, and all other responses to peers should be posted no later than 11:59 p.m. ET on Sunday of each week. Your original response should have a minimum of 150 words. You should read and respond to at least two of your peers’ posts.
For this week’s discussion, you will have an opportunity to practice summarizing, paraphrasing, and quoting a chapter from Gladwell’s Outliers.
Summarizing
•Identify a chapter from Gladwell’s Outliners.
•Summarize the whole chapter in one paragraph.

Paraphrasing
•Select an interesting passage of two (2) to three (3) sentences from the same chapter and carefully paraphrase it in your own words.

Quote
•Identify a key sentence in the chapter and construct a sentence of your own that introduces and appropriately quotes it.

Share your thoughts about what you find confusing or puzzling about summarizing, paraphrasing, and quoting someone else’s materials.

People feel better when they think they are getting a great bargain when they shop. Knowing this, some retailer’s markup items above the traditional retail price and then offer a 60 percent discount. If they had simply discounted the normal retail price by 20 percent, the resulting “sale price” would have been the same. One retailer says that he is just making shoppers happy that they got a great deal when he inflates the retail price before discounting.

Significantly marking up prices in order to offer “deep discounts” is not an unethical pricing practice per se, but it may be considered misleading advertising. The retailer is not really reducing its profits as a result of offering the sale price, even though a 60 percent discount implies a financial sacrifice on the part of the retailer for the benefit of the customer.

The situation described above could, perhaps, be considered a sales promotion that uses deception or manipulation.

1. As a consumer think of a place you like to shop at because of the so-called great bargains, coupons, cash back and or discounts they offer.
2. From your shopping experience explain if the discounts you received on your purchase you feel was a bargain deal or do you feel you overpaid.
3. Did you believe the retailer is sacrificing revenue for you the consumers’ benefit?
4. Why or Why not?
5. Do you find their sales practices to be ethical and beneficial to the consumer or perhaps unethical and misleading?

 

The requirements below must be met for your paper to be accepted and graded:

• Write between 500 – 750 words (approximately 2 – 3 pages) using Microsoft Word.
• Attempt APA style, see example below.
• Use font size 12 and 1” margins.
• Include cover page and reference page.
• At least 60% of your paper must be original content/writing.
• No more than 40% of your content/information may come from references.
• Use at least two references from outside the course material, preferably from EBSCOhost.  Text book, lectures, and other materials in the course may be used, but are not counted toward the two reference requirement.
• Reference material (data, dates, graphs, quotes, paraphrased words, values, etc.) must be identified in the paper and listed on a reference page.

Reference material (data, dates, graphs, quotes, paraphrased words, values, etc.) must come from sources such as, scholarly journals found in EBSCOhost, online newspapers such as The Wall Street Journal, government websites, etc.  Sources such as Wikis, Yahoo Answers, eHow, etc. are not acceptable.

Write the questions followed by your answers.

 

1. Using a ROT5 cipher encrypt the following plaintext. Prove your answer by showing the steps for both the encryption and decryption. (20 points)

 

Meet at the baseball field at three oclock

 

Using a ROT3 cipher decrypt the following ciphertext.

 

WKHF  RUYH  WWHL  VUHG

2. Following are two problems using a rail fence cipher. Prove both of your answers by showing the steps involved in encryption/decryption.  As [art of this problem you must also show the steps involved in reversing what you are being asked for.  (20 points)

 

Using a rail fence cipher with a depth of 2 encrypt the following message:

The bird is a raven

Reverse the steps to decrypt your answer and explain the steps.

Using a rail fence cipher with zig zag pattern and a depth of 3 decrypt the following message:

MAEKN   ETTHPRAOEM  ETATP

 

Reverse the steps to encrypt your answer and explain the steps.

This is a three part question. For each part the answer requires identifying an asymmetric encryption technique, hashing or both. As part of each question you need to discuss the technique to demonstrate your understanding of how the functionality (confidentiality, authenticity, integrity) is supported. You need to discuss the details of what the sender and receiver do and the key usage if applicable. (25 points)

 

1. What technique is used to exchange messages between two parties ensuring confidentiality? Discu

4. Logical operations. Neatly align your result under the operands. (25 points)

Perform a logical AND on the following two binary strings:

0101011101001

Perform a logical OR on the following two binary strings:

1110111101110

0101011101001

 

Perform a logical XOR on the following two binary strings:

0101011101001

 

5. How can hashing be used to ensure that a file you have copied from a website has been completely and accurately copied?  You should consider techniques that are in current use today for copying images and other files from servers. Provide some details with your explanation.
