1. The federal government regulates labels, warranties, and consumer products. Without government regulation, what abuses are likely to occur?

2. Compare the minimum contacts test, as it is applied to the bricks-and-mortar activity of businesses, to their cyberspace activity. If you were a small business, seeking to sell to customers located in other states, what are some things you could do to avoid having states where these customers live require you to collect sales tax?

3. The EU has recently changed its trade laws and now refuses, among member nations, to enforce choice of forum clauses when a consumer is a purchaser. How might this refusal to enforce choice of forum clauses impact websites within the EU?

Hello,

i need this paper by 10/14 afternoon.

Strictly No plagiarism please use your own words.

Keystroke logging, often referred to as keylogging or keyboard capturing, is the action of recording (logging) the keys struck on a keyboard, typically covertly, so that the person using the keyboard is unaware that their actions are being monitored. Explain a situation where using a keyloggers may be used in either a legitimate (legal) way or used as a tool for criminals.

300 words.

Make sure Strictly No plagiarism content should not match and even the reference should not match in plagiarism 

Practical Connection Assignment

At UC, it is a priority that students are provided with strong educational programs and courses that allow them to be servant-leaders in their disciplines and communities, linking research with practice and knowledge with ethical decision-making. This assignment is a written assignment where students will demonstrate how this course research has connected and put into practice within their own career.

Assignment:
Provide a reflection of at least 500 words (or 2 pages double spaced) of how the knowledge, skills, or theories of this course have been applied, or could be applied, in a practical manner to your current work environment. If you are not currently working, share times when you have or could observe these theories and knowledge could be applied to an employment opportunity in your field of study. 

Requirements:

Provide a 500 word (or 2 pages double spaced) minimum reflection.

Use of proper APA formatting and citations. If supporting evidence from outside resources is used those must be properly cited. 

Share a personal connection that identifies specific knowledge and theories from this course. 

Demonstrate a connection to your current work environment. If you are not employed, demonstrate a connection to your desired work environment. 

You should NOT, provide an overview of the assignments assigned in the course. The assignment asks that you reflect how the knowledge and skills obtained through meeting course objectives were applied or could be applied in the workplace. 

· Pick two (2) charts of different chart type (Categorical, Hierarchical, Relational, Temporal and Spatial) [Do not choose bar, pie and line charts)

· For each use a tool that can be used to create the selected chart. Use a different tool to create each chart.

· For each chart, write how to read the chart and what to look for.

Delivery: A word file with the following information:

1. 2 Charts

2. 2 Screenshots of the charts in development with the tools selected.

3. Paragraphs detailing how to read each chart and what to look for.

 Choose one of the aphorisms listed above.  Who first wrote/spoke the aphorism or where does it originate?  What does the aphorism mean?  What is the author’s truth?  Why do you agree or disagree with the aphorism and how if at all has it made you rethink what you thought about the topic before researching the aphorism?  How could you apply this “wisdom” to your life?   
 

 1. “The rich stay rich by acting poor.  The poor stay poor by acting rich.”

2. “If you want a friend get a dog.”

3. “It takes 20 years to become an overnight success.”

4. “Nothing is certain but death and taxes.”

5. “This too shall pass.”

6. “Trust but verify.”

7. “Genius is one percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration.”

8. “Failure to prepare is preparing to fail .”

9. “If you want something done right do it yourself.”

10. “There’s nothing new under the sun.”

11. “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”

12. “Less is more.”

13. “Buy land.  They’re not making it anymore.”

14. “Misery loves company.”

15. “Be careful what you ask for.  You might get it.”

16. “Work smart, not hard.”

17. “To everything there is a season and a time for every purpose under heaven…”

18. “Brevity is the soul of wit.”

19. “A rose by any other name smells as sweet.”

20. “Carpe diem.”
 

 For composition exercises two and three please write:
1. (format) a 500-word composition.  Use Courier New, 12-point font and double space. 

2. (content) Your composition needs a main idea, major points and specific details.  Respond to the topic/aphorism in your first paragraph.  Present your main idea in the first paragraph.  Then use the rest of your 500-word limit to support your main idea.  You must cite from the material you’ve read to support your ideas. As Abraham Lincoln wrote, “It is a pleasure to be able to quote lines to fit any occasion.”  Use two-three quotes from the sources in your composition to “fit” your interpretation of the aphorism.

3. (focus) Stay focused on the topic.  Everything you write should have a connection to the topic and your main idea. 

4. (clarity) When you proofread check for common errors like fragments, run-on’s, commonly confused words, tense shift, subject-verb disagreement, spelling, etc.  Try to adhere to the KISS Principle.  Keep your sentences short and simple and divide your composition into paragraphs. 

Question 1

Suppose that you are employed as a data mining consultant for an Internet search engine company. Describe how data mining can help the company by giving specific examples of how techniques, such as clustering, classification, association rule mining, and anomaly detection can be applied.

Question 2

Identify at least two advantages and two disadvantages of using color to visually represent information.

Question 3

Consider the XOR problem where there are four training points: (1, 1, −),(1, 0, +),(0, 1, +),(0, 0, −). Transform the data into the following feature space:

 Φ = (1, √ 2×1, √ 2×2, √ 2x1x2, x2 1, x2 2).

Find the maximum margin linear decision boundary in the transformed space.

Question 4

Consider the following set of candidate 3-itemsets: {1, 2, 3}, {1, 2, 6}, {1, 3, 4}, {2, 3, 4}, {2, 4, 5}, {3, 4, 6}, {4, 5, 6}

Construct a hash tree for the above candidate 3-itemsets. Assume the tree uses a hash function where all odd-numbered items are hashed to the left child of a node, while the even-numbered items are hashed to the right child. A candidate k-itemset is inserted into the tree by hashing on each successive item in the candidate and then following the appropriate branch of the tree according to the hash value. Once a leaf node is reached, the candidate is inserted based on one of the following conditions:

Condition 1: If the depth of the leaf node is equal to k (the root is assumed to be at depth 0), then the candidate is inserted regardless of the number of itemsets already stored at the node.

Condition 2: If the depth of the leaf node is less than k, then the candidate can be inserted as long as the number of itemsets stored at the node is less than maxsize. Assume maxsize = 2 for this question.

Condition 3: If the depth of the leaf node is less than k and the number of itemsets stored at the node is equal to maxsize, then the leaf node is converted into an internal node. New leaf nodes are created as children of the old leaf node. Candidate itemsets previously stored in the old leaf node are distributed to the children based on their hash values. The new candidate is also hashed to its appropriate leaf node.

How many leaf nodes are there in the candidate hash tree? How many internal nodes are there?

Consider a transaction that contains the following items: {1, 2, 3, 5, 6}. Using the hash tree constructed in part (a), which leaf nodes will be checked against the transaction? What are the candidate 3-itemsets contained in the transaction?

Question 5

Consider a group of documents that has been selected from a much larger set of diverse documents so that the selected documents are as dissimilar from one another as possible. If we consider documents that are not highly related (connected, similar) to one another as being anomalous, then all of the documents that we have selected might be classified as anomalies. Is it possible for a data set to consist only of anomalous objects or is this an abuse of the terminology?

The attachments have all requirements.

Instructions

Submit the Case Analysis and Incident Impacts portion of the final project. In this assignment, you will analyze the ethical issues and determine the legal compliance issues within the organization, as well as the social and cultural impacts of these compliance issues. You will be expected to address the impact the incident may have had on the ethical and legal IT regulations at the time. The connection between the industry standards and the standards for informational technology should be determined, as well as the influence of the cultural impact on IT and cyber-communication or commerce.
