Show your work; use units or suffer dire consequences. [2.5 points]On the map, construct a groundwater flow line downslope from each of sites A, B, and C. [2.5 points]If gasoline were spilled at sites A, B, and C, where would it directly discharge into? (Label them on the map). [2.5 points]In the eastern part of the aquifer, at and down gradient from B, the hydraulic conductivity (K) is 100 ft/day and the effective porosity (ne) is 30%. Calculate the average velocity along the flow line from B. First you must calculate the hydraulic gradient (slope of the water table) for the flow line from B. It may or may not be equal to the hydraulic gradient you already calculated in question #(1). Show your work; use units. [5 points]If the velocity of the groundwater is assumed to also represent the movement of the contaminant, what is the time required for gasoline spilled at site B to travel to the end of the flow path? First you must measure the distance between point B and the end of the flow path. Round-off distance in feet to one decimal place, round-off time in days to whole days, and round-off years to one decimal place. Show your work; use units. [5 points]

What is a system? What is the CEH methodology or system hacking steps?

To you, what is a system? 25%What is the CEH methodology or system hacking steps? 25%What is Metasploit? Make the argument to block the use of it and another to encourage it’s use. 25%How does VNC fit into the concept of “Hacking a System”? 25Also respond to this persons question:I think a system is a group or collection of different devices such as hardware, software, and network components that work together to perform specific functions or tasks assigned to them.The CEH Methodology/system hacking steps are as follows:Reconnaissance, Scanning, Gaining Access, Maintaining Access, and Clearing Tracks.Metasploit is a widely used penetration testing framework that can provide tons of tools and resources for employing exploit code against a target system. Some reasons to block the use of Metasploit are that it can be used for illicit activities and can bring some Legal consequences if used incorrectly, on the other hand, it should not be blocked as it is used as an educational tool to show ethical hackers what to look for and give clients vulnerability assessments of their systems.I feel there are two ways VNC can fit into the concept of Hacking a system and those are using VNC as an attack vector by seeing if any VNC servers are misconfigured or have weak passwords making it easier to hack into them. And VNC for remote administration VNC might be used as a tool for remote system administration but with an open system comes the risk of being hacked. 

Create an imaginary art exhibition based on a theme of your choosing. This exhibition should be based on course content and include 5 or more works of art that you select based on your theme. Your exhibition will also include an exhibition statement that contextualizes your ideas.

For this final assignment, you are going to create an imaginary art exhibition based on a theme of your choosing. This exhibition should be based on course content and include 5 or more works of art that you select based on your theme. Your exhibition will also include an exhibition statement that contextualizes your ideas.  The Theme: Get creative!  Themes like  Impressionism or puppies are not going to give you much room for creativity.   Now, puppies in Impressionism is starting to get more interesting, but I’m not sure there were many puppies in Impressionism, plus it still feels a bit limiting.  The best themes are creative and broad, but not so broad that they are meaningless (for example, joy as a theme is so broad it lacks any significant meaning). The Exhibition Statement: The statement will have an introduction with a thesis statement that identifies your theme and explains the significance of your ideas. This statement should be written in 3rd person.  It should be about 200-300 words and 2-3 paragraphs.  This handout from the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD)  will give you an overview of how you should approach the statement. The artwork: 5 or more artworks found using the same resources used in previous discussions: should be thoughtfully ordered in your exhibition to help illuminate your ideasshould be thoughtfully ordered to make connections between the works of art that comprise your exhibition. For this, you may want to imagine we are actually walking through a gallery space or museum space.  What do we encounter first?  What comes next?  Why?  can be of any time/place/ monetary value/cultural significance, etc. The sky is the limit! Format:PDF DocumentFirst, your exhibition statement which addresses your theme and makes connections between the artworks (refer to the RISD handout; examples near the end of the doc., 200-300 words/2-3 paragraphs).Next, 5 or more works of art  in order. Be sure to properly cite artworks: title, medium, artist, and date. 

Why is it important to have ethical guidelines? Who sets those guidelines? What do you think about ethical guidelines today? Are they working? Who makes them? How are they enforced? How can they be improved?

Part 1: So far in this novel, we have encountered giant wasps, rats, plants and more. Explore the following resource: 2. Is a giant flying wasp — the size described in this novel — even possible? Why or why not? If it is possible, do you think it would have to be anatomically or physiologically different somehow than the small wasps that we are accustomed to? Explain your answer in 100-200 words. Part 2: PROMPT: In The Food of the Gods and How It Came to Earth, Wells presents the reader with two scientists, Mr. Bensington and Dr. Redwood, who have created a new substance, Herakleophorbia lV (Boomfood), that causes organisms exposed to it to grow faster and larger than normal. What ethical considerations do the two scientists take (or not take) in experimenting with this substance? What motivates them? What factors might cause them to act in a more ethical (or less ethical) manner with regards to their research?Contextualize this story within history and current day. Were there always ethical guidelines for conducting biological research? What led to the creation of modern ethical guidelines for research? Discuss at least one historical example. Consider the importance of having global ethical guidelines when conducting biological research. Why is it important to have ethical guidelines? Who sets those guidelines? What do you think about ethical guidelines today? Are they working? Who makes them? How are they enforced? How can they be improved? Discuss at least one current day example.

The second and final paper of the semester is based on the following attachments. Please thoroughly read the attached material. You can organize your paper in whatever way you would like but please be sure to address all of the points/questions, based on the attached articles.If you just look up this information online, without thoroughly reading the attachments, you will not meet the requirement of this assignment. After reading the attached PDF research papers please address the following. Feel free to use any information we covered in class as well as any outside sources if you choose to.When trying to interpret earth’s ancient climate we must rely on the findings and/or the assumptions from the sister field of climatology, namely geology.As an important side note, a portion of the final exam will come from the material presented in the PDF (in addition to lecture) so it’s a good study resource. What information is presented and why is it significant? What’s the argument within the field of geology and are both perspectives being equally portrayed in the education system? Why or why not? What is uniformitarianism? Give evidence, if any, for the support of this view.What is catastrophism? Give evidence, if any, for the support of this view.Can both really be true?What are the implications of this question and why does it matter?Has there been any suppression in the public-policy or scientific community regarding any one of these views as it relates to geology, climatology or any other sciences and why might this be so?

Create a Product Launch Comprehensive Strategy and Professional Reflection to demonstrate proficiency in all areas of operations and project management.

Overview: For the final project, you will create a Product Launch Comprehensive Strategy and Professional Reflection to demonstrate proficiency in all areas of operations and project management. In Milestone Three, you will submit a Financial Assessment and Resource Planning Brief, which will become part of Component 3, due in Module Nine. In the brief, you will begin developing key financial documents. You may need to supplement the case study with additional research on current or past financial statements for the organization. Consider how the new product/service fits into the financial capacity of the organization. Is the new service/product appropriate for the organization’s strategic financial investment? Describe the company valuation and the financial fit of the new product/service. Begin estimating the costs to manufacture or develop the service, the staffing needs, the materials or equipment needed, etc. Next, estimate the planned benefit of the new product/service, making sure to consider the ongoing costs as well as the initial development costs. In the appendix include an initial draft of the financial valuation and justification of the new product/service using a standard approach such as a cost/benefit analysis, return on investment, internal rate of return, net present value, and/or break-even analysis. The instructor will provide feedback on this milestone to better shape your final capstone project.Critical Elements? Economic Fit: Describe how the planned new product or service is a good fit for the organization from a financial perspective. Discuss the economic feasibility of the project.? Operational Costs: Identify the costs surrounding the manufacture of the product or any unique manufacturing or service-related requirements to support the new product or service. This may include leveraging operational tools and techniques to forecast material needs and staffing levels such as inventory turns, holding costs, weeks of supply, economic order quantity, resource plans, or other standard approaches.? Benefits: Estimate the potential benefits of the new product or service, leveraging a standard estimating approach and noting confidence levels.? Cost Justification: Prepare a cost/benefit analysis for the new product or service. You may also leverage other financial justification approaches such as IRR, ROI, or break-even.    

Recall an instance of workplace drama or negativity you’ve observed or experienced. Analyze the manager’s role in the experience and develop specific, behavioral suggestions for ways that same manager could have responded to foster a more positive overall environment.

CREATING A DRAMA-FREE WORKPLACE The ways in which managers deal with—or fail to deal with—drama and negativity in the workplace have far-reaching effects on the overall organizational culture. The average professional spends a significant portion of their lives in the workplace, so it would be sensible to ensure that it is as enjoyable an experience as possible. Although many people “put up with” toxic work environments, they also frequently leave those environments to be treated better. For those who stay, it can be expected that they would be less committed and connected to their job. Instead of thinking of ways to innovate or cut costs, they might spend their mental energy imagining what they will be doing on their next vacation. Leaders who strive to create a drama-free workplace do their part to avoid that outcome.In this Discussion, you will recall an instance of workplace drama or negativity you’ve observed or experienced. You will then analyze the manager’s role in the experience and develop specific, behavioral suggestions for ways that same manager could have responded to foster a more positive overall environment.To prepare for this Discussion:Review the resources from this week focusing on creating a drama-free workplace.Identify an example—from your own experience—either of a workplace that was characterized by drama or negativity, or a singular incident involving drama or negativity that was poorly handled by management.Also consider the role of the manager in the situation. Post an analysis of the role of a manager in influencing workplace culture and formulate some recommended managerial action steps for addressing drama and negativity and improving the workplace culture.
