As you begin the first round, you will need to revisit the six basic strategies from the practice round. Evaluate the results of your decisions from the practice round. As a team, you need to discuss these results and decide which strategy you will choose for the first round. Each member of the team should review the strategy for his or her role, and then a consensus decision needs to be made on the overall strategy for the first round.

Assignment 2: Cloud Solutions

Cloud-based computing allows businesses to store and access large amounts of data over the Internet rather than on in-house computer hard drives. There are several cloud-based data solutions currently available in the marketplace.

Using the Argosy University online library resources and the Internet, research the latest cloud-based data solutions in the marketplace today. Select at least 2 scholarly sources for use in this assignment.

Assume you are evaluating vendors providing cloud-based solutions for your current organization or a hypothetical organization. Complete the following:

• Identify three potential vendors.
• Compare and contrast the three different vendors. Be sure to consider the services, data solutions, and security features they provide.
• Based on your analysis, provide a recommendation about which provider or solution you think would work best.
• Provide a justification explaining why it would be the best product for your selected business to use (using your current organization or a hypothetical organization). Support your recommendation with up-to-date knowledge of business practices and technology use. Be sure to provide a little background about the organization to help justify your recommendation.

Utilize at least 2 scholarly sources in support of your assertions.

Make sure you write in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in appropriate and accurate representation and attribution of sources; display accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

Throughout this class, we have analyzed many different aspects of identity with an eye toward how and when they become “political.” Some key concepts we have engaged include: stereotypes, visibility of identity categories, “marked” and “unmarked” identities, oppression and power relationships between identity groups, self-identification and culture of identity, and problems of definition in recognizing identities.  In an essay of 5-6 pages (1250-1500 words), respond to ONE of the following three questions, integrating no fewer than three (3) sources we have read or discussed in class. You may include outside examples from the media or popular culture in addition; if you do, please cite these using MLA citation format.

Be sure that you have a clearly stated thesis statement at the end of the introduction to your essay. One good way to do this is to underline that statement – if you have trouble finding it, you probably need to revise!

1. In Autobiography of a Face, Lucy Grealy tells a coming of age story from the perspective of a child battling a rare cancer and subsequent facial disfigurement. Consider this narrative in light of one or more theories of disability that we have read, and explain how Grealy’s pursuit of surgical repair to her face would be understood by theorists such as Garland Thomson, Wendell, Davis, and/or Brueggeman. How does her sense of self-identity evolve over time, and at what points in the text does she resist or attempt to conform to idealized notions of beauty and/or normalcy? How is sexuality related to her sense of self as a disabled or disfigured person?

 

2. Ta-Nehisi Coates writes very provocatively about the precarity of the racialized body in his book Between the World and Me. For Coates, the question of “how one should live within a black body, within a country lost in the Dream” is central to his pursuit as a writer and historian. Choose an example or set of examples from his book, Atlantic article on reparations, or recent events (#BlackLivesMatter movement, the recent protests at Yale, Mizzou, etc.), and explain how racial identity is politicized in this context. Why does Coates emphasize the body in his writing about racial identity, and how do we understand the “Dream” and whom it includes or excludes? How can an understanding of history help us answer his question? (here you can integrate other articles we have read by critical race theorists such as Davis, Smedley, etc)

 

 

3. Redefining Realness is a memoir telling the story of Janet Mock’s transition from male to female as an intersectional coming-of-age story, bringing together identities of class, race, gender, and sexuality. Locate one or more passages in this text that you think illustrate this intersectionality, and explain how these factors work together to contribute to Mock’s identity. What does she mean by “realness”? You might also consider how Mock’s narrative responds to some of the challenges to trans women brought by TERFs in Goldman’s article, and how it relates to Serano’s analysis of cissexual privilege. What strategies does she use to survive and become herself? Think about the many relationships she has in this book – with parents, siblings, friends, clients, lovers – how do they help or hinder her in the realization of her identity as a woman?

I need a MS Project schedule created for a project – Operations department move from one part of China to another. I have the background information but I need someone that is FULLY VERSED in MS Project and understands how to create a project schedule with dates, dependencies, and resources.

 

2007. Develop the project schedule in Microsoft Project 2007.

1. Determine the project budget.

 

Assignment 2: Testing for Correlation by Linear Regression

The goal of many studies is to determine if there is a relationship between factors. In other words, does one factor influence the outcome of another factor? If there is a relationship between the factors, then there is a correlation. Through this module’s lectures and readings, you will know that findinga correlation does not necessarily mean that you have found a causal relationship. This would need to be determined by another layer of investigation. Indeed, many times correlation does not always lead to the determination of causation, but it can help to identify if there is not a causal relationship between the variables in the study.

One way to determine correlation is to see if there is a linear relationship between the factors. A linear relationship can be tested by graphing a scatter plot of the data in the study and seeing if a best-fit line can be drawn to represent this data. This method of analysis is called linear regression. The formulas for linear regression are cumbersome, but luckily, most spreadsheets have built-in functions for performing these tedious calculations.

In this assignment, you will use a spreadsheet to examine pairs of variables, using the method of linear regressions, to determine if there is any correlation between the variables. Afterwards, postulate whether this correlation reveals a causal relationship—why or why not?

Directions:

Click here to open the Excel spreadsheet containing the data for this assignment.

Notice that there are several tabs on the spreadsheet, each containing a different set of data from different studies. On each of these sample tabs, you will also find the question that was explored in that study. Select the data set that you find interesting, and perform the analysis below. You are only required to perform this analysis on one set of data. There is a tab labeled Example where you can see how your analysis should look when done.

In the Excel spreadsheet, perform the following operations:

1. Save the spreadsheet on your computer.
2. Select the study data you want to use. With your mouse, highlight all of the data on the spreadsheet in columns A and B.
3. In the tabs at the top of the page, click Insert.
4. In the Insert ribbon, in the Charts section, click Scatter. Be sure to select the option where it will just plot dots, it will be called Scatter with only Markers. If you do this right, then you will see a chart on the page.
5. Now, on the chart, right-click on one of the data points (dots). Just pick a dot somewhere near the middle of the distribution.
6. Select Add Trendlinefrom the drop-down menu that appears when you right-click on a dot.
7. A new menu will appear. Select Linear, select Automatic, and click the box next to Display R-squared value on chart.
8. Click Close.
9. Now, you should see a line drawn through the dots. It will roughly cut through the middle of the dot distribution.
10. You will also see the R2 value displayed next to the line.

In a Word document, respond to the following:

1. What was the sample you selected and the question that was explored in the study?
2. What was the R²linear correlation coefficient and the linear regression equation produced in the Excel spreadsheet?
3. What would be the value of Pearson’s R?
4. Would Pearson’s R be positive or negative? What does this imply about the relationship between the factors in this study?
5. What is the implication of any correlation found between the variables in the study you picked?
6. Does this correlation imply a causal relationship? Explain.
7. Were there other variables that you think should have been examined? How would have those variables improved the correlation results of this study or helped to pinpoint where the factors were causal?

Based on your initial review of the CAPSIM Capstone Business Simulation, what have you have identified as the key business issues that will impact your company? Prepare to discuss this issue with the other members of your team.

Financial Crisis Assignment: In 2008, the world financial system was on the brink of failure and the US Government made a series of decisions to prevent world “meltdown” of the financial systems. The justification was “Too Big to Fail”. An HBO movie has come out called “Too Big to Fail”. In 2010 the movie “Inside Job” came out and it is a documentary of the financial crisis in the United States. I would like you to watch both films and do some research on the basis of these films.

After that, you need to write a 5 to 7 page paper that is typed, single space with 1 inch margins, Times-Roman 12pt font. The page count does not include a cover page or reference page. In the paper you need to address the following items:

You need to provide a summary of what the “Financial Crisis” was in the United States.
Compare the two films and discuss which one portrays a more accurate representation of the real events. Please refer to research that you found on the events to support this. You may find that both are accurate in a different area. That is ok.
Determine if legislation has been passed to overhaul the lending and banking system as a response to this crisis. Please provide an overview/ explanation of this legislation.
Pick three items that were part of the crisis and/or legislation and explain how it impacts, good or bad in your opinion, the profession of Industrial Engineering or businesses that Industrial Engineers will be employed in.
Finally, what ethical implications were involved in this financial crisis and how does it relate to the Code of Ethics for Industrial Engineers?

I expect you to watch both films, do research and to go to the actual legislation and read it. You need to do research and provide references in your paper. The paper should be between 5 to 7 pages typed not including a cover page or reference page. In addition, in text citations and appropriate referencing is required in addition to a well written paper in English.
