Hello all,When marketing a business weather it is a small business or a major corporation, we have to look at cost and set up a goal to our marketing in terms of capacity of the volume of business that we would like to bring in. choosing the strategies all depends on the type of business, and the client base that we are working with. my favorite marketing strategies are as follows: Social media, such as, facebook, google/yelp reviews/ pay per click ads. Bill boards on a busy highway or street close to the business location anticipated. third, i would pick text messaging/ emailing the client base through capturing there data throughout the times that they have visited the business and had an interaction with it. When considering all above options, cost is minimal and sometimes free for our google/yelp reviews and facebook advertisement throughout a personal profile or a business page.For the second portion of the question, i would invest in text message blast, radio remotes and events for the hottest radio station in town and for that type of a budget we can probably also send mailers to at least 3 zip codes in the surrounding area. We will also social media blast the event and spread the word out to our clients and as many people that we can spread the word out to using the word of mouth.Thank you all for reading.

What is the epidemiological triad? Describe.

Many infectious diseases are multifactorial, meaning they are caused by the interaction of several factors inside and outside the person. For an infection to occur, three key conditions, known as the epidemiological triad of disease must be met.Using approximately 600-800 words, and use APA 7th edition citations and referencing as appropriate:What is the epidemiological triad? Describe.What are pathogens and how do pathogens gain entry?Explain how your immune system protects you, what factors diminish its effectiveness and what can you do to boost its effectiveness.What can you do to reduce your risk of infectious disease?

Calculate the timing of password-guessing attacks

1. Calculate the timing of password-guessing attacks:(a) If passwords are three uppercase alphabetic characters long, how much time would it take to determine a particular password, assuming that testing an individual password requires 5 seconds? How much time if testing requires 0.001 seconds?(b) Argue for a particular amount of time as the starting point for “secure.” That is, suppose an attacker plans to use a brute-force attack to determine a password. For what value of x (the total amount of time to try as many passwords as necessary) would the attacker find this attack prohibitively long?(c) If the cutoff between “insecure” and “secure” were x amount of time, how long would a secure password have to be? State and justify your assumptions regarding the character set from which the password is selected and the amount of time required to test a single password. 2. Describe each of the following four kinds of access control mechanisms in terms of (a) ease of determining authorized access during execution, (b) ease of adding access for a new subject, (c) ease of deleting access by a subject, and (d) ease of creating a new object to which all subjects by default have access.• per-subject access control list (that is, one list for each subject tells all the objects to which that subject has access)• per-object access control list (that is, one list for each object tells all the subjects who have access to that object)• access control matrix• capability3. Design a protocol by which two mutually suspicious parties can authenticate each other. Your protocol should be usable the first time these parties try to authenticate each other.4. List three reasons people might be reluctant to use biometrics for authentication. Can you think of ways to counter those objections? 5. If you forget your password for a website and you click [Forgot my password], sometimes the company sends you a new password by email but sometimes it sends you your old password by email. Compare these two cases in terms of vulnerability of the website owner. 6. Defeating authentication follows the method–opportunity–motive paradigm described in Chapter 1. Discuss how these three factors apply to an attack on authentication. 7. Suggest a source of some very long unpredictable numbers. Your source must be something that both the sender and receiver can readily access but that is not obvious to outsiders and not transmitted directly from sender to receiver. 8. Humans are said to be the weakest link in any security system. Give an example for each of the following:(a) a situation in which human failure could lead to a compromise of encrypted data(b) a situation in which human failure could lead to a compromise of identification and authentication(c) a situation in which human failure could lead to a compromise of access control.9. Explain why hash collisions occur. That is, why must there always be two different plaintexts that have the same hash value?10. What property of a hash function means that collisions are not a security problem? That is, why can an attacker not capitalize on collisions and change the underlying plaintext to another form whose value collides with the hash value of the original plaintext?

Develop research questions that address contemporary issu es in criminal justice by applying a ppropriate criminological theories

GuidelinesandRubricOverviewYour final project in this course is the development of aresearch report.The fundamental responsibility of criminal justice personnel is based on sound decision making. Using the scientific method within the criminal justiceinvestigations process allows investigators the opportunity to base their findings on factual data and ethical reasoning. This is especially important within thefield of criminal justice because the decisions made undergo rigorous scrutiny from entities such as the media, judiciary system, and the general public. Creatingliterature reviews isa common practice when explaining trends within the criminal justice field. For example, as a criminal justice representative, you may betasked with explaining why calls of domestic violence have increased in a specific area in your jurisdiction over a certain periodof time. It is your responsibility togather and interpret data, analyze criminological theories, and make use of the scientific method to offer an explanation forthe increase, as well as an effectiveavenue of resolution.

You have been tasked with conducting initial research onthe issue to inform the direction of your supervisor’sfurther research and statement to the administrative staff and community.To begin, you will be presented with a predetermined list of issues impacting the field of criminal justice. You are to choose an issue, or select an issue outside ofthe list withinstructor approval. You will then seek out five peer–reviewed scholarly articles, two of which must use qualitative methodology, andsynthesize andcritically analyze theliteraturetodevelop a research question and createdata–informed conclusionsabout your selected issue. Additionally, you must identify themethodologyused in each article, and explain the importance of using the scientific method to practice ethical research.The project is divided intothreemilestones, which will be submittedat various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality finalsubmissions. These milestones will be submitted inModulesTwo,Four,andFive.The finalproductwillbe submittedinModuleSeven.Additionally, throughoutthe course you will work on a series of worksheets that directly relate to elements of your final research report.These worksheets will be submittedinModulesOne, Three,andSix.In this assignment,you will demonstrateyour mastery of the following course outcomes:?Developresearch questionsthat address contemporary issues in criminal justice by applying appropriate criminological theories?Interpret criminal justiceresearchto identify patterns for drawing evidence–based conclusions
