“Lake Point Consulting Services (LPCS) provides security consulting and assurance services to over 500 clients across a wide range of enterprises in more than 20 states. A new initiative at LPCS is for each of its seven regional offices to provide internships to students who are in their final year of the security degree program at the local college.
Predish Real Estate and Auction (PREA) buys and sells high-end residential and commercial real estate across a multistate region. One of the tools that PREA offers is a sophisticated online website that allows potential buyers to take virtual tours of properties. However, PREA’s site was recently compromised by attackers who defaced the site with malicious messages, causing several customers to threaten to withdraw their listings. PREA’s senior management has demanded a top-to-bottom review of their security by an independent third party. LPCS has been hired to perform the review, and they have contracted with you to work on this project.
Carefully read the case project statement and step number 1 to ensure you cover all of the requested topics. Refer to the information given in the Module 4 assignment that was similar to this for reminders about how to create good presentations. Remember to use the speaker’s notes (this is especially important as I will not see you give this presentation. I need to know what you will say if you were in front of an audience), few bulleted items on the screen, and applicable graphics (charts, graphs, clipart) to make the presentation interesting. You should have an introduction slide, a conclusion slide, and a slide for the list of your sources, along with any content slides needed to get your point across. Information technology specialists always need to be prepared to talk about technology to those who are not versed in the subject. This assignment gives you practice in doing just that.
Elon-Musk donated $10 million to a foundation called the Future of Life Institute. The institute published an open letter from an impressive array of AI experts who call for careful research into how humanity can reap the benefits of AI “while avoiding its pitfalls.” Go online and find out about the institute’s initiatives. What are its primary goals? How can humans establish and maintain careful oversight of the work carried out by robots? How valid are Elon Musk, Bill Gates, and Stephen Hawking’s concerns? What other concerns should the public bear in mind as the technological revolution advances?
Week 11: California Privacy Rights Act Assignment
On November 3, 2020, California’s Privacy Rights Act is on the ballot. As of the time this assignment is being written, we do not know whether it will pass or not. Please write a 250 word essay on what the Act contains, and if it passed the ballot or not. Please tell why it passed or did not pass.
Minimum 250 words. Add References in APA format.
Discuss in 500 words, why institutions might be reluctant to move their IT to the cloud. Consider a specific industry like education, medicine, military, etc.
Use at least three sources. Use the Research Databases available from the Danforth Library not Google. Include at least 3 quotes from your sources enclosed in quotation marks and cited in-line by reference to your reference list. Example: “words you copied” (citation) These quotes should be one full sentence not altered or paraphrased. Cite your sources using APA format. Use the quotes in your paragaphs. Stand alone quotes will not count toward the 3 required quotes.
Copying without attribution or the use of spinbot or other word substitution software will result in a grade of 0.
Write in essay format not in bulleted, numbered or other list format.
It is important that you use your own words, that you cite your sources, that you comply with the instructions regarding length of your post and that you reply to two classmates in a substantive way (not ‘nice post’ or the like). Your goal is to help your colleagues write better. Do not use spinbot or other word replacement software. It usually results in nonsense and is not a good way to learn anything. . I will not spend a lot of my time trying to decipher nonsense. Proof read your work or have it edited. Find something interesting and/or relevant to your work to write about. Please do not submit attachments unless requested.

We are producing two types of products, product A and product B. Product A is defective if the weight is greater than 10 lbs. Product B is defective if the weight is greater than 15 lbs. For a given product, we know its product_type and its weight. Design a program to screen out defective products. Starting the program with variable definition:
product_type = ‘xxx’
weight = xxx
Hint: You need to figure out the product type first, and then check if the product is defective based on the weight. You may use a nested if statement like the following:
if product is A:
if product weight > 10:
the product is defective
else:
if product weight >15:
the product is defective
But you need to translate the English into Python codes.
As a challenge, you may also try a one-step if statement. such as :
if some condition is met:
the product is defective
else:
the product is normal
And the key is the bolded “some condition”.
