DB 3

The Discussion Board (DB) is part of the core of online learning. Classroom discussion in an online environment requires the active participation of students and the instructor to create robust interaction and dialogue. Every student is expected to create an original response to the open-ended DB question as well as engage in dialogue by responding to posts created by others throughout the week. At the end of each unit, DB participation will be assessed based on both level of engagement and the quality of the contribution to the discussion.

The Discussion Board (DB) is part of the core of online learning. Classroom discussion in an online environment requires the active participation of students and the instructor to create robust interaction and dialogue. Every student is expected to create an original response to the open-ended DB question as well as engage in dialogue by responding to posts created by others throughout the week. At the end of each unit, DB participation will be assessed based on both level of engagement and the quality of the contribution to the discussion.
The purpose of the Discussion Board is to allow students to learn through sharing ideas and experiences as they relate to course content and the DB question. Because it is not possible to engage in two-way dialogue after a conversation has ended, no posts to the DB will be accepted after the end of each unit.
Unit 3 – Week 1
David (2012) maintains that there are various matrices in the business portfolios at large which may be used by companies to make strategic decisions
1. Choose a matrix from those found in the text, and list in bullet points this matrix’ 3 advantages and 3 disadvantages (table is fine)
2. How do you compare and contrast this matrix of choice to BCG? Bullet points 3 for each ( 3 for similarities and 3 for differences between them) (A table may be used)
3. Are they compatible?
4. Can they be used together?. Yes// no // ( short words)

I need a straight answer not a report or something else. Just a need a straight for answer for:
Problem 1 (scenario):

  • You have four web servers that are serving static web pages. You want to prevent them from communicating with each other, but allow them to communicate with the gateway
  • You have a fifth webserver that is serving a web application and therefore it requires access to the database server. This webserver and the database server should ONLY be able to communicate with each other and the gateway
  • All of these servers are on the same subnet and connected to the same switch

Design a solution to this problem using private VLANs.

You must submit a synopsis of the solution, a diagram and the commands that you would use.

Problem 2:
Write an Access List that drops packets that match the following:

  • Destination address equal to class D or broadcast
  • Contains a connection-oriented protocol
  • Destination address equal to 0.0.0.0 or with 0s in the network part

Assume the interface we are applying this access list to has an IP 172.16.20.1/22

Instructions

Greg Forda is an accounting clerk in the accounting department of Fiedler Co., and he cannot understand why the market value keeps changing from replacement cost to net realizable value to something that he cannot even figure out. Greg is very confused, and he is the one who records inventory purchases and calculates ending inventory. You are the manager of the department and an accountant.

(a) Calculate the lower-of-cost-or-market using the “individual item” approach.

(b) Show the journal entry he will need to make in order to write down the ending inventory from cost to market.

(c) Then write a memo to Greg explaining what designated market value is as well as how it is computed. Use your calculations to aid in your explanation.

The following extracts are typical of the annual reports of large listed companies. Which of these extracts satisfy the definition of ‘accounting’? What are the user needs that are most closely met by each extract?

(a) Suggestions for improvements were made by many employees, alone or in teams. Annual savings which have been achieved total £15m. The best suggestion for improvement will save around £0.3m per year for the next five years.

(b) As of 31 December, 3,000 young people were learning a trade or profession with the company. This represents a studentship rate of 3.9%. During the reporting period we hired 1,300 young people into training places. This is more than we need to satisfy our employment needs in the longer term and so we are contributing to improvement of the quality of labor supplied to the market generally.

(c) During the year to 31 December our turnover (sales) grew to £4,000 million compared to £2,800 million last year. Our new subsidiary contributed £1,000 million to this increase.

(d) It is our target to pay our suppliers within 30 days. During the year we achieved an average payment period of 33 days.

(e) The treasury focus during the year was on further refinancing of the group’s borrowings to minimise interest payments and reduce risk.

(f ) Our plants have emission rates that are 70% below the national average for sulphur dioxide and 20% below the average for oxides of nitrogen. We will tighten emissions significantly over the next ten years.

COMP9318 (14S1) PROJECT DUE DATE: 23:59 21 MAY 2014 (WED) 1. Objective In this project, you will implement and extend the Viterbi algorithm for parsing Aus- tralian address data. Note that it will take you quite some time to complete this project even if you are familiar with Java programming and have good programming experience. Therefore, we earnestly recommend that you start working on this project as early as possible. 2. Background We have talked about the standard Hidden Markov Model (HMM) and the Viterbi algorithm in the class. More information can be found in Section 5 of A Revealing Introduction to Hidden Markov Models” by Mark Stamp. There are a few dierences or additions required for this specic project, and they will be introduced shortly. 3. Task I: Standard Viterbi Your rst task is to write a Java class named Proj1, which receives three command line arguments: STATE FILE: it is the le that stores part of the HMM model. Its detailed format will be described shortly. SYMBOL FILE: it is the le that stores the other part of the HMM model. Its detailed format will be described shortly. QUERYFILE: the le that contains addresses to be parsed. Its format will be de- scribed shortly. k: species the top-k state sequence to be output for each address in the QUERYFILE. Your program should read in the HMM model from STATE FILE and SYMBOL FILE, and then nd best (i.e., top-1) state sequences and its corresponding probability for each of the addresses in the QUERYFILE. You can always assume the model les are correct, i.e., you do not need to deal with possible errors/inconsistencies in the le, though you should check everywhere in production code, especially in light of the recent heartbleed bug. 1
2 DUE DATE: 23:59 21 MAY 2014 (WED) 3.1. HMM Model File Format. The STATE FILE is a plain text le, where each line carries some information, as specied below: The rst line is an integer N, which is the number of states. The next N lines are the descriptive names of the…

INTERNATIONAL LEGAL AND TAX ENVIRONMENT
© Professor Robert C. Goodwin, Jr.
 
Introduction to Law
There are many definitions of law, each of which focuses on a different aspect of law. Black’s Law Dictionary, for example, defines law in a way which emphasizes law as rule applicable to people as well as physical phenomena:
That which is laid down, ordained or established. A rule or method according to which phenomena or actions coexist or follow one another.
The Webster’s Third New International Dictionary is less broad, focuses on people, adds the enforcement concept and also emphasizes the notion of law as an expression of the customs of the people:
A binding custom or practice of a community. A rule or mode of conduct or action that is prescribed or formally recognized as binding by a supreme controlling authority or is made obligatory by a sanction made, recognized, or enforced by the controlling authority.
An even more specific definition is:
Law consists of the entire body of principles that govern conduct and the observance of which can be enforced in courts.
Man-made law is necessary to provide not only rules of conduct but also the machinery and procedures for enforcing right conduct, for punishing wrongful acts, and for settling disputes that arise even when both parties are motivated by good intentions. In its broadest sense, the purpose of law is to provide order, stability, and justice. It is often said that procedure is the heart of the law. Throughout this course we will encounter instances where the substantive words of the law appear to give someone a “right” but they are unable to exercise that right for procedural reasons. Something as simple as failing to file a lawsuit within the time limits set by the local court rules can prevent someone from receiving the “remedy” which they thought they had. We should always keep this distinction between right and remedy in mind as we review the various materials in this course.
