1. What function might this text serve within its particular historical and cultural context? How is it responding to problems, dilemmas, or anxieties specific to that context—to the country and moment in history within which it was first written? Does it offer a way of responding to a situation, a strategy either for coping with or overcoming the problem that it addresses? If so, what is it? Why, in other words, might, the work have been appealing to readers living within the same context as the author?

2. How does the text resonate with your own life experiences as a twenty-first century New Yorker? Have you been in a situation similar to the one described by the author? Have you faced the same kinds of challenges? Have you found yourself viewing the world in the same way as one of the characters or the narrator? How has your life experience helped you to understand the text? And how has reading the work affected your way of thinking about the problems that you have confronted in your own life? Has it offered you a new understanding or attitude, a new way of addressing particular obstacles? Has it influenced the way you feel about a particular situation? If so, how? Please try to come up with a specific concrete example from your life. You will need to offer a first-person account of your own experience so as to explore how the text is relevant to that experience. Your paper, in other words, should combine an analysis of the text with a personal narrative and explore the connections between the two.

Please choose only #1 or #2 (not both). Since I am now asking you to address a larger context—either the text’s own cultural context or the context of your own life—in addition to offering an interpretation of passages within the text, you may need 6-7 pages.

I identify with several groups, but the military is the group that I identify with most. We were made up of men and women, African Americans, Asians, Hispanics, Caucasians and every other group that we are divided up into. We came from various backgrounds, economic status, beliefs and religions. There is one major norm for everyone and that was professionalism. The military cares very little about your background or race, where you grew up and focuses on the mission. In fact most individuals that I served with including myself write in our ethnic origin as American. I look at our nation and how it is so divided and it sickens me. I wish more people would join the military and see the world from a different set of eyes. I only saw my brothers and sisters and I was willing to take a bullet for any one of them. But in society today we have so many groups that it is causing a huge divide because each group wants to draw attention to their group and if you do not agree with them then you are immediately labeled a racist. The norm that I follow most often is being professional and seeing people for what they are at face value.

Read the scenario carefully and answer the requirements given below.

Task

IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets outlines the accounting for provisions (liabilities of uncertain timing or amount), together with contingent assets (possible assets) and contingent liabilities (possible obligations and present obligations that are not probable or not reliably measurable). Provisions are measured at the best estimate (including risks and uncertainties) of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation, and reflects the present value of expenditures required to settle the obligation where the time value of money is material.

IAS 37 was issued in September 1998 and is operative for periods beginning on or after 1 July 1999.

The objective of IAS 37 is to ensure that appropriate recognition criteria and measurement bases are applied to provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets and that sufficient information is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements to enable users to understand their nature, timing and amount. The key principle established by the Standard is that a provision should be recognised only when there is a liability i.e. a present obligation resulting from past events. The Standard thus aims to ensure that only genuine obligations are dealt with in the financial statements – planned future expenditure, even where authorised by the board of directors or equivalent governing body, is excluded from recognition.

In light of above discussion, you are required to analyse the IAS 37 with respect to its procedure and applicability in Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets including examples. The activity will be tested in accordance with the following criteria.

/in /by

This assignment will explore the environment in which the law enforcement function is performed. Provide your answers in a 5- to 6-page Microsoft Word document that addresses the following areas:

  • Analyze the influence of the criminal justice model on the structure and mission of a local police department. In other words, how would a police department exhibit different structure and procedures under the crime control model than it would under the due process model?
  • Discuss the relationship between neighborhood disorder and crime. What should be the role of the police in dealing with elements of neighborhood disorder, such as abandoned property, inoperative streetlights, and the like?
  • How the mission and the structure of a police department or sheriff’s office would differ between urban and rural areas?
  • What is social disorganization and how does it contribute to criminality? Analyze whether nonconforming behavior a result of poverty. Should poverty or social disorganization be a consideration when an offender is being sentenced?
  • What role should politicians play in determining the structure and role of local police? In what ways can a local or state-level politician address crime by dealing with social disorganization? Consider the theories discussed earlier in the course.

Week 1 :-

Drawn from chapter 1 of the CompTIA Cloud+ Study Guide (Montgomery, 2016).

What Is Cloud Computing?
Cloud computing is essentially outsourcing datacenter operations, applications, or a section of operations to a provider of computing resources often called a cloud company or cloud service provider. The consumer of cloud services pays either monthly or by the amount of usage of the service. We will explore many different models and types of cloud computing in this book. Throughout this book we will be referencing the National Institute of Standards document NIST SP 800-145 as the main source of cloud computing definitions. NIST defines cloud computing as …a model for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction. This cloud model is composed of five essential characteristics, three service models, and four deployment models. We will take a close look at all aspects of cloud computing as we progress on our journey to obtain the Cloud+ certification and provide much more detail to this general definition.

Computing as a Utility Service

We are accustomed to many services provided by utilities such as electricity and water into our homes; however, we do not get involved in the details of how these services are created and delivered—we just want the final product and to pay for what we use. Traditionally, computing did not follow this model. Instead a company or individual would purchase all the hardware and software to meet the needs of the corporation or individual. Individuals had to purchase the most up-to-date systems since the investment was high and they couldn’t always upgrade to new models. For large companies this would be an even bigger capital investment since they needed to maintain a staff of specialized engineers to operate and maintain the systems. Also, the solution had to have the added capacity to grow and to handle peak processing loads even if it often was not being used. Special rooms were needed to host the equipment and to power and cool the datacenter servers. Security of the data access had to be at a high level depending on the data and constantly upgraded to guard against security breaches and viruses. Cloud computing follows the utilities model where a provider will sell computing resources on an as-needed or as-consumed model. This allows a company or individual to pay for only what they use and has many additional advantages that we will explore throughout this book.

The Growth of the Cloud

The market and adoption of the cloud computing business has exploded worldwide as it has been adopted by the mainstream of companies and has moved from early adopters to general acceptance in the marketplace today. While there are many statistics and measurements of the size of the market, it is has been growing between 15 and 30 percent annually worldwide and is well over a $120 billion market in 2016, with many estimates that are much higher. What is clear is that the economics and business advantages of cloud computing are compelling companies to move more and more applications to the cloud, fueling additional growth well into the future.

Why Do This?

There are many advantages to moving to the cloud, but three stand out as compelling business and operations alternatives to hosting computing resources internally in a privately owned datacenter:

  • In the past when computing resources were needed there was often a long delay of procuring, installing, and configuring all of the pieces needed to host an application. With a cloud solution, the equipment is already running in a cloud provider’s datacenter and you can begin using the service in record time, often as short as a few minutes.
  • From a financial perspective, a company’s expenditures can be reduced as they avoid the large upfront costs of purchasing the needed computing equipment and ongoing support expenses associated with maintaining your own computing environment. Cloud computing with its pay-as-you-go billing model frees up a company’s capital budget to be used for other needs within a company.
  • As the need to add capacity is reached, a cloud computing model can expand capacity almost immediately as compared to a corporate datacenter, where long delays are often experienced due to the need to procure, install, and configure the new equipment.

Prompt

Cloud computing services enable users to be mobile and access resources and information from their phones, tablets, laptops and other devices. Some services, such as Apple’s iCloud, also enable users to have multiple devices all connected to the same cloud account so that any and all information generated between them is also stored and accessible from any connected device. This service also enables the seamless exchange of connections as users change devices, like live phone calls. For this discussion, research a cloud service that facilitates mobility, such as the Apple iCloud or competing service, and address how this service meets user mobility needs. Discuss how a business might benefit from such a service. Support your response with at least one external citation and reference following APA 6 formatting requirements.

Week 3 discussion – HypervisorOptions Menu: Forum

ThinkstockPhotos-621142710 (1).jpg

Drawn from chapter 2 of the CompTIA Cloud+ Study Guide (Montgomery, 2016).

Understanding the Hypervisor in a Virtualized Cloud

Before exploring the amazing world of virtualization technologies, you need to pause and gain an understanding of the terminology used. In this chapter, we will look at the hypervisor, the core piece of technology enabling you to virtualize a datacenter. We will then investigate the differences between hypervisors.

A hypervisor is software that enables a server to be logically abstracted and appear to the operating systems running on it as if they are running directly on the hardware itself instead of the hypervisor software. The operating systems, or in this case virtual machines (VMs), see the hypervisor as the actual computer. With virtualization, many operating systems can now run on a single server hardware platform, whereas in the past each operating system required its own physical server platform.

Type 1 and Type 2 Hypervisor Types

The Type 1 hypervisor is installed and runs directly on top of the server hardware platform. This type is referred to as either bare-metal or native hypervisors. Type 1 hypervisors are generally more advanced and offer more features than a Type 2 and are found in the cloud datacenters as well as in the enterprise. Because the Type 1 hypervisor is running directly on top of the bare-metal hardware and not as an application on another operating system, it offers much higher performance, less overhead, and more security than a Type 2 hypervisor, which we will look at next.

A Type 2 hypervisor is installed as an application on an already existing operating system and allows you to then install the VMs in the application. For example, a PC running Windows can install a Type 2 hypervisor and run it as any other application. Then, inside the hypervisor, multiple operating systems or VMs can be run. VMware workstation and VirtualBox from Oracle are examples of Type 2 hypervisors. Type 2 hypervisors are good for testing applications and in situations where dedicating a server to be virtualized is not desirable. This type of hypervisor does not offer the higher performance of a Type 1 since the Type 2 has the additional overhead of running on top of another operating system such as Windows or Linux and not directly on top of the bare-metal server hardware.

Proprietary vs. Open Source

Hypervisors can be proprietary, which is another way of telling us that they were developed and sold by private corporations such as Microsoft or VMware. Examples of proprietary hypervisors are Hyper-V developed by Microsoft and ESXi from VMware.

Open source hypervisors are free for use by the public. Open source software is in the public domain, and there are no licensing fees. A good place to find open source code is on www.sourceforge.net. Some examples of fully functional open source hypervisors are KVM by Red Hat, VirtualBox from Oracle, and XenServer by Citrix. They are all complete virtualization systems that allow for one or more VMs to run on the same server hardware platforms as the proprietary hypervisors. There are advantages and disadvantages to each approach. Generally proprietary hypervisors are fully supported by the vendor’s support agreements and have regular updates to add features and bug fixes. With open source, support is generally offered in community forums, with a few companies offering support agreements.

Consumer vs. Enterprise Use

While the underlying technology is similar between consumer hypervisors and those used by an enterprise or service provider, there are some significant differences. In the consumer world, a hypervisor is generally an add-on to an existing operating system running on a desktop or laptop computer. This allows us to use our PC as normal but at the same time work with and test other operating systems as VMs running on top of a Type 2 hypervisor. Many operating systems include Type 2 hypervisors as part of their releases or can be installed later as an application such as VMware workstation.
In the enterprise and cloud service provider environments, there is a great need for management, automation, and security of multiple hypervisors and virtual machines. In a large-scale deployment, there may be over 10,000 VMs in a datacenter. As you will see later, many utilities and software tools are able to manage these large environments. Also, in a cloud or corporate datacenter the hypervisor will run directly on the server as a Type 1 hypervisor.While the underlying technology is similar between consumer hypervisors and those used by an enterprise or service provider, there are some significant differences.

Also, in a cloud or corporate datacenter the hypervisor will run directly on the server as a Type 1 hypervisor.

Workstation vs. Infrastructure

You’ve seen that a hypervisor running on a workstation on top of an already installed operating system offers you the flexibility to run VMs as another application installed on an operating system. This comes at the cost of performance and security.

With an infrastructure- or enterprise-based hypervisor running directly on a server, you gain performance and many other advantages with this Type 1 hypervisor over the workstation-based Type 2 hypervisor. In the enterprise, many special tools have been developed for networking, security, automated deployment, monitoring, disaster recovery, and many other requirements that do not exist on the more limited desktop version.

Prompt

There are several virtual machine applications currently on the market. Some of the most popular include VMWare, Hyper-V, KVM, VirtualBox, and XenServer. For this discussion, select a hypervisor or virtual machine application and research how it functions. Discuss your findings and provide at least two examples of how the system is used in business applications.

Building on your initial business justification from week 1, for week 3 write a 3 page APA formatted paper addressing migration requirements. The specific migration requirements will depend on the cloud service you are proposing, as each service will have different requirements. For example, if you are proposing cloud storage and collaboration, considerations may include storage space requirements, cost, user access rights, content management, disaster recovery planning, service level agreements (SLA’s), etc. Include an overall idea of the timeline and cost required to migrate. Support your proposal with at least two external citations and references.
