...there is usually far too much for just you to do, therefore it is important to learn what to delegate and who to delegate it to. The most important tasks should be done by the supervisor but as far as things such as someone’s vacation hours and stocking merchandise for the store, those tasks should be delegated out to the assistant manager and to the store clerks. Being a supervisor means being in a role of leadership, logic, common sense, and decision making for yourself, the employees, and for the company. The “in Basket” debate and discussion gives us and our fellow classmates the opportunity to see if we can successfully delegate out certain tasks as a supervisor at a fictitious company. The discussion between me and fellow classmates was a great one and it appeared as though everyone agreed on everything accept for different incidents. The only two incidents where I came across disagreement were in regards to task number 3, and task number 4. These are the examples in which I will be using in this paper as far as disagreeing is concerned. Task number 3 is in regards to the mall hours changing for an upcoming holiday and that there is a request for store plans. In my own opinion and the opinion of all of my fellow classmates accept for one that I could find agreed that this task needed to be done by the Supervisor. The disagreeing student felt that it should be delegated to the Assistant Manager. This task should be done by the supervisor because it is not only a very important...

...Unit 4 Discussion 1: Compromising an Online System Learning Objectives and Outcomes * You will be able to explore how a Linux system can get compromised. * You will examine ways in which a well-secured Linux filesystem can mitigate risks. Assignment Requirements The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) is a reputable open source foundation that has a history of developing and maintaining many open source products, including the Apache Web Server. In April 2010, the ASF discovered that their server hosting issue-tracking software was “hacked.” You can read a report on the incident on the following Web link: * https://blogs.apache.org/infra/entry/apache_org_04_09_2010 This report documents how a vulnerability was exploited, which solutions worked, which didn't work, and the measures planned by the Apache Infrastructure Team to mitigate future risks. Security is a layered process. Although the hackers took advantage of a vulnerable third-party Web application to gain root access to ASF’s Linux infrastructure, you need to focus on the layers of security that worked and failed on the Linux infrastructure, and how this vulnerability could have been avoided with a more secure Linux server. Discuss how the hackers took advantage of the JIRA daemon. What role did Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) play in this process? What are the security measures that you would recommend to mitigate such risks in the future? Participate in this discussion by engaging in a meaningful...

...Corridors of Transition between 12 Angry Men and 12 “I have always found that mercy bears richer fruits than strict justice”. Abraham Lincoln “The virtue of justice consists in moderation, as regulated by wisdom”. Aristotle ”Nobody gets justice. People only get good luck or bad luck”. Orson Welles Justice = mid-12c., "the exercise of authority in vindication of right by assigning reward or punishment;" also "quality of being fair and just," from Old French justice "justice, legal rights, jurisdiction" (11c.), from Latin iustitia "righteousness, equity," from iustus "upright, just" . The Old French word had widespread senses, including "uprightness, equity, vindication of right, court of justice, judge." The word began to be used in English c.1200 as a title for a judicial officer. Meaning "right order, equity" is late 14c. Justice of the peace first attested early 14c. In the Mercian hymns, Latin iustitia is glossed by Old English rehtwisnisse. To do justice to (someone or something) "render fully and fairly showing due appreciation" is from 1670s. This word, with such a strong connotation, influenced and formed the basis of many philosophical...

...Lesly Castillo August 29, 2012 Discussion Board 4 Describe when and why central banks buy either their own currency or the currency of another nation in an effort to control exchange rates. Central Banks has control over monetary policy. Monetary policy has three steps such as: open market operations, change in reserve requirements, and changes in the discount rate. Central bank can expand the money supply by the following; the discount rate is being reduced, Reduction in reserves requirements and bonds being purchased. However, Central bank can contract the money supply by: Discount rate being increased, Increasing reserves requirements, and selling of bonds. Central Banks buy currency because it affects the supply of money. Many central banks may require that most foreign exchange receipts (generally from exports) be exchanged for the local currency. The bank is marked-based the local currency being purchased by the rate being used. Money supply is increased by the central bank when it purchases the foreign currency by selling the local currency. The central bank may reduce the money supply by many reasons which include selling bonds or foreign exchange interventions. What did the central banks do to stabilize the financial systems in 2007&2009? Monetary policy had been eased, with policy interest rates approaching zero in many countries and quantitative easing being attempted by a number of central banks. The Federal Reserve and other central banks developed new...

...improvement and future success of this company moving into the public market. In order to properly perform an assessment of the LBJ Company, there first had to be some set of standards or regulations that outline the internal controls and proper procedures for companies and businesses to adhere to for financial reporting. As it turns out internal control is a key component of Foreign Corrupt Practices Act(FCPA) of 1977 and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act(SOX) of 2002 which required companies to follow this set of internal controls. This list of internal controls is as follows: 1). Conduct its business in an orderly and efficient manner, 2). Safeguard its assets and resources, 3). Deter and defect errors, theft, and fraud, 4). Ensure accuracy and completeness of accounting data, 5). Produce reliable and timely financial and management information, 6).

...CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Not all people are given the chance to have a quality education especially in the Philippines because it is now complicated. That’s why having the chance to study and choosing the course should not be compared to some thing like for an example buying a dress for a special occasion and when realization comes into your mind that you don’t want it, you’ll return it or maybe get your money back. No, this isn’t right, because in college life, you have to treat every second as an important detail of your life. You should not waste every moment in it. So choosing the course which you think fits your capabilities is very important. Studying a specific course in college is not only about paying the fees rather the most important things here are the time and effort spent. Money, time and effort are the most precious things in one’s life and once it is used or spent, it’s hard to gain again or worst you may never have it at all. So the time these are wasted for nothing, for sure the blame for this mistake will be felt truly. When looking at the profile of those students who are working and at the same time is studying, you would notice that they never dare wasting their time. For them, every second counts. Make an observation and you will find out that almost all of the working students are working too hard to finish their studies. For them, wasting their effort, time and money is such a big mistake. OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY The objective of studying...

A more complex WAN may involve connecting hundreds of organizations together with high-capacity digital circuits. Usually a WAN takes the form of something between these extremes. What expansion of network services and benefits might the library achieve? I personally believe the library can accomplish more free will in offering the Wi-Fi for its supporters. Which is done by going with a wireless operation ads opposed to a tough line makes sense from a theoretical point. What LAN protocol and related transmission speed are most appropriate for the local libraries: Ethernet, fast Ethernet, or gigabit Ethernet? From my research I came to the understanding that the Ethernet protocol documents can be transmitted over wireless admission points, twisted pair, coaxial, or backbone optic cable at a speed of 10 Mbps up to 1000 Mbps. Also, Fast Ethernet obligates the use of diverse, more exclusive network concentrators and network boundary cards. Fast Ethernet is becoming mutual in schools that have been wired lately. What topology is most appropriate for the LANs and the WAN? What are their merits? In this particular case Hubs or switches can be attached to one another to produce greater LANs capable of supportive devices. When this comes to a completion, you began getting some stimulating hybrid topologies. The greatest...

...External Success Factors Home responsibilities will strongly affect me. As I try to balance cooking, cleaning, laundry, being a mother and a wife it is going to be difficult (for me) to delegate duties to the kids and my husband while I study. Job responsibilities will strongly affect me. We are currently in the process of switching from our current ecommerce system to a new one. We are working a lot of 12hr shifts testing the new site. Family or peer support will somewhat affect me. Sometimes the children forget that I am studying and need to be left alone. They have to be reminded a lot. This should get better as they get used to the fact that I am in school now. Previous record of academic success will somewhat affect me. I did not apply myself the last time I attended school. I didn’t make the grades that I am capable of. I had poor study habits and no motivation. I am now more focused and determined. I’m hoping my old ways are behind me since I now realize how important it is to have my degree. Internal Success Factors Confidence in my ability to succeed in college will somewhat affect me. In the past, when faced with a difficult situation, I gave up. The same is true if I found myself falling behind in class and struggling to catch up. I gave up easily. Willingness to accept feedback and learn from it will not affect me at all. I am very open to feedback. In fact, I welcome it. Commitment to work through difficult learning situations will somewhat affect me. As I stated...

...ME1115: Week 4 Assignment 1. Briefly describe a conflict in your personal life or workplace and identify it as intrapersonal, interpersonal, or intergroup. I’m going to discuss an intrapersonal conflict that I experienced with myself. I am the type of person who says that I want something and that I’m going to do it or get it, but I end up not going through with it. Take when I was in school for example. I had it in my mind that I was going to go to the Air Force Reserves, it was just something about the thought of going off and experiencing life and seeing and learning new things. I signed up in my senior year of high school took the oath and everything. Before I knew it I was it was time for graduation. In my mind I was ready but in my heart I wasn’t really ready to just leave my family, I had really never gone anywhere and I was a shy teenager so leaving and not being around them was going to be different. I had bit of a stand still because the day that I was supposed to go to the Air Force Base where I would be going through basic training I was like 5 pounds’ overweight and so the first thing that came to mind was “that’s it I’m going home before I even get started” that right there was a conflict in itself. I had kind of given up I called my parents and they talked with me and prayed with me that everything works out like it’s supposed to. The next day I was shipped off to Basic Training. Even throughout basic training I experienced intrapersonal conflicts it was like...

...Justin Baghai DQ3 1. Human Resources has the possibility to impact a firm’s profitability on several levels. First, I will discuss how an HR department in a firm can make the company more profitable. For example, the HR department of a company is responsible for hiring the most qualified employees with the highest motivation and skill. This takes a lot of practice and skill to be able to find the right people. By hiring the best and brightest of the talent pool, employees are more likely to come up with innovative ideas and push the company forward, bringing in extra revenue. This is one way that HR can help the company change their profitability and increase their value. Also, HR is in charge of providing their current employees with the latest training in their respective field. HR can set up seminars, webinars, as well provide classes to their employees. By doing so, their employees will gain knowledge that they can apply to the firms business and eventually lead to better productivity. On the other hand, the HR department can cause a firm to decrease their profits. Some ways that this could occur would be an overvaluation of employee’s compensation packages, hiring unproductive employees, and having glitches in their time reporting system. For example, if the HR department does not know how much to pay each employee fairly, they could be overpaying employees, which is a cost that figures in to profitably. It is important that the HR department be aware of the market averages...

...Social Network Groups for All-“A Stupendous Idea or Security Incident Waiting to Happen?” The idea of having this social networking platform may seem like a good idea and it can be; however, the security risks it has with the current settings could really hurt the company’s reputation in the future. It makes it easy for people to link together in groups setting but in reality it is sharing too much unnecessary information with third parties applications. The current settings could lead to malicious users to exploit the vulnerabilities. The reasons to exploit the vulnerabilities in this platform setting are summarized to obtaining personal information which can be later used to exploit the vulnerabilities from the targeted individuals. In this case with all the contacts’ email addresses being out there for everybody to see, than a hacker could use it to obtain information from their employers or personal information such as financial information. Also, by using HTML and JavaScript a hacker could do command injections which could lead to limited accessibility. The JavaScript programming language could allow standard API’s to bypass access control or security checks and also a tainted input allows code to apply its own permission during the security management check. This idea could lead to serious security issues which could impact the revenue of the company. This is idea has a lot of merit because it would allow individuals to socialize in group settings. However, there...

...Introduction In recent years, the People’s Bank of China (PBC) has carried out monetary policy by means of reserve requirement frequently in an effort to hedge the excess liquidity in the banking system. Since the Chinese banking system contributes the most to the financial system in China, and risks exhibited by commercial banks are the biggest threat to the nation’s financial stability. The impact of monetary policy on bank risk is thus an essential issue to which should be paid great attention when establishing its macro prudential management framework. Unlike other economies in which standard one-instrument operating procedure dominates the monetary policy tools, People’s Bank of China makes a frequent adjustment on the interest rate and the reserve requirement ratio simultaneously to achieve its goals. In China, interest rates and deposit reserve decisions are taken by The Peoples' Bank of China Monetary Policy Committee. The PBOC administers two different benchmark interest rates: one year lending and one-year deposit rate. At present, China has become one of the highest reserve requirement rate country in global countries, for its reserve rate has already reached to 18.5%. In addition, the high consecutive frequency and accumulative range of the raise has been rare in the history of world monetary policy. In this paper, I will focus three main changes during 2008 to 2015, which are 2008, 2012 and 2015. By giving a brief information about those three interest rates and...
