This week’s reading centered around Bitcoin Economics.  For this week’s research paper, search the Internet and explain why some organizations are accepting and other organizations are rejecting the use of Bitcoins as a standard form of currency.  Your paper needs to identify two major companies that have adopted Bitcoin technology as well as one that has refused accepting Bitcoin as a form of currency. Be sure to discuss each organization, how they adopted (or why they won’t adopt) Bitcoin, and what recommendations you have for them to continue to support Bitcoin (or why they should support Bitcoin). 

Your paper should meet the following requirements:

• Be approximately 3-5 pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page.

• Follow APA guidelines. Your paper should include an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.

• Support your response with the readings from the course and at least five peer-reviewed articles or scholarly journals to support your positions, claims, and observations.  

• Be clear with well-written, concise, using excellent grammar and style techniques. You are being graded in part on the quality of your writing.

Read the instructions carefully. This assignment is the related work section of what has been done by other researchers on the topic, “Recent job trends in computer science”.  The section should be written as a narrative and should include 8 references. 

NIST Cyber Security Framework

For this assignment, use the Cyber Security Framework (CSF) to create a security plan for the Cloud.    Make sure the plan covers the categories and sub categories of the NIST CSF framework.  

Driving is expensive. Write a program with a car’s miles/gallon and gas dollars/gallon (both floats) as input, and output the gas cost for 10 miles, 50 miles, and 400 miles.

Ex: If the input is 20.0 3.1599, the output is:

1.57995 7.89975 63.198

Note: Small expression differences can yield small floating-point output differences due to computer rounding. Ex: (a + b)/3.0 is the same as a/3.0 + b/3.0 but output may differ slightly. Because our system tests programs by comparing output, please obey the following when writing your expression for this problem. First use the dollars/gallon and miles/gallon values to calculate the dollars/mile. Then use the dollars/mile value to determine the cost per 10, 50, and 400 miles.

Note: Real per-mile cost would also include maintenance and depreciation.

  Choose Only “ONE” question from these three, and write 4 pages Research Paper plus annotation: 

 1.”The Mythology of Computers: The Early Day”  

2. “Do You Know Where You Computer’s Been? Protecting your Computer” 

 3. “Internet Freedom Versus Security: Who Wins?”

Make sure to do all of the following:

1. The annotated bibliography will contain six (6)sources using the MLA style for the reference citations. 
2. Your sources must include at least one book, one article, and one web source. 
3. Each source listed will also include a 3-5-sentence annotation that will describe the relevance between the information in the source and your topic. 
4. Your annotations identify how the source relates to your topic. Spelling, grammar, and writing style will be evaluated. The annotated bibliography should be typed in MLA style, double-spaced with one-inch margins (top, bottom, left, and right). Include your name and page number in the header (top-aligned right); include your name, Prof. Name, Class Name, the date on the left side.  

Please write a post for the two documents with 150 words each substantive. A substantive post will do at least two of the following:

• Ask an interesting, thoughtful question pertaining to the topic
• Answer a question (in detail) posted by another student or the instructor
• Provide extensive additional information on the topic
• Explain, define, or analyze the topic in detail
• Share an applicable personal experience
• Provide an outside source (for example, an article from the UC Library) that applies to the topic, along with additional information about the topic or the source (please cite properly in APA)
• Make an argument concerning the topic.

At least one scholarly source should be used in the initial discussion thread. Be sure to use information from your readings and other sources from the UC Library. Use proper citations and references in your post.

 Your answers to all five questions must be in the Answers worksheet of the Ad Bids workbook that you downloaded from Blackboard. In addition, your Excel model coming up with the answers for each of the five questions should be on the appropriate worksheet in the Ad Bids workbook 

Think about a recent conflict situation in which you participated (e.g., an argument with your significant other, your parents, or a stranger). What communication strategies did you use to give, maintain, or save face?

Please review table 1.2 in the text and review the distinction between leadership and management.  Then think about this in regard to how senior leaders versus senior managers lead change in an organization (especially when it comes to technical change in an organization).

This week please reflect on these concepts and answer the following questions:

When implementing change in an organization, there are always culture issues that are faced, such as not accepting change, determine how differently this would be handled thinking about the management versus leadership constructs?

When dealing with performing work, how is this implemented differently within the management versus leadership constructs?
