journal assignments 3

In order to exhibit individual comprehension of subject matter, each student will be required to write five journal entries about the course material to enhance and develop their own management and leadership skills. Students should reflect on real-life scenarios that are applicable to the course material from the prior section/unit. These scenarios can be issues faced at work, in a club or activity, in the news, in pop culture, whatever the student thinks is most relevant. Each entry should identify the concept, explain the scenario and its relation to the concept, and explain how you would handle the situation based on lessons learned in the course.

For one journal entry, students should attend one networking event (free events are highly encouraged) in their desired work field. Each student should interact with at least three different people (obtaining a business card) at the event and learn about what they do at work and how leadership and management applies to their position. Students should journal about this experience and upload the three business cards and a photo showing attendance at the event to this entry. Bonus points will be awarded for successful next steps with a contact, particularly if this can lead to a job opportunity! Plan ahead and do not wait until the end of the semester to attend the networking event.

Each journal entry is worth 20 points. Journal entries should be at least one full page (no more than 12-point font, reasonable academic quality font, 1-inch margins, double-spaced). Each journal is due at the start of class (submitted online no later than 6:30pm on the due date). Late entries will not be accepted and receive a grade of zero.

hmls critique discussion post below just half page jn

Information sharing has always been an issue between intelligence agencies. After the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack, many programs were created to bring together different intelligence agencies, but there is still a lack of communication. One national intelligence program that stands out is the Intelligence Community (IC). It is made up of 16 executive branches encompassing all military intelligence agencies from state and federal level, and DHS to be responsible to collect and analyze data, create threat assessments and conduct intelligence activities to help protect the U.S. national security (Carter, 2004). But the issue is still that there is little sharing of information. They usually work separately on their own agenda, with very little collaboration of other agencies (Carter, 2004).

Verbiage between agencies differ, creating challenges for open communication. There are slightly different processes, but the intelligence cycles/models are very similar. But when I was in the Army, Intelligence Analysts in the same Brigade lacked information sharing. What we did to bring everyone together was have an Intelligence Sync, where we would discuss need to know information on different missions. This way if another analyst had additional information, they could share it here and sometimes it would bring together pieces of information that was beneficial. I also think if there was a universal intelligence process cycle and standardized language that every branch would integrate that into their intelligence operations, this could be beneficial for collaboration.

big data mining vs analytics and the challenges associated with big data 1

While this weeks topic highlighted the uncertainty of Big Data, the author identified the following as areas for future research. Pick one of the following for your Research paper.:

  • Additional study must be performed on the interactions between each big data characteristic, as they do not exist separately but naturally interact in the real world.
  • The scalability and efficacy of existing analytics techniques being applied to big data must be empirically examined.
  • New techniques and algorithms must be developed in ML and NLP to handle the real-time needs for decisions made based on enormous amounts of data.
  • More work is necessary on how to efficiently model uncertainty in ML and NLP, as well as how to represent uncertainty resulting from big data analytics.
  • Since the CI algorithms are able to find an approximate solution within a reasonable time, they have been used to tackle ML problems and uncertainty challenges in data analytics and process in recent years.

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.

title enron s demise were there warning signs 2

Questions to answer in the report:

  • Evaluate Enron’s profit, leverage, and cash flow performance during the period 1998-2000.
  • Evaluate Enron’s long-run financial performance. Does the data reflect Enron’s transformation from a pipeline company to a trading company?
  • What is your assessment of Enron’s earnings quality?
  • Evaluate Enron’s financial leverage at the end of 2000.
  • Enron’s stock price traded around $62.72 per share at the end of April 2001. Do you think Enron was worth that much?

The purpose of this case study is to determine whether there were any early warning signs of Enron’s collapse. It is more of a qualitative analysis rather than ratio calculations.

For example, question 1, the key is to determine whether Enron’s profit was growing at the same rate as its revenue. You may look at items on income statements about revenues, operating incomes, and so on, to see whether Enron was making profit as it was supposed to. Digging deeper into the sources of income, you may find that earnings increase in 2000 was partly because of one-time gains such as gains on the sale of nonmerchant assets and stock issuance.

The common-sized balance sheet also shows some substantial changes, trade receivables, long/short term assets, liabilities all increased significantly. Similarly, you can find some evidence in the cash-flow statement. Leverage ratios can be used to estimate the cost of debt and WACC. And if you compare it with returns on assets, you will see that the cost was greater than return. These are all early warning signs of the worsening financial condition of Enron that have been overlooked.

It can be short, like a just one page paper.

The intention is that you put enough information into this assignment so that you can actually go and do this canyon in the future and feel like you have the info and equipment you need for it. Here are a few internet resources that may help you with your research and below that is a list of information you should include in your plan:

Information you should include:

  • canyon name and location (i.e. SW Utah near MOab, Or in Zion NAtional Park…)
  • ACA rating (or equivelant rating if outside the USA)
  • canyon mileage
  • driving directions
  • hiking directions and mileage
  • Specific equipment needs (i.e. wetsuit, 200′ of rope, 50′ of webbing, harnesses, helmets, etc…)
  • estimated time from when you leave the car to when you’ll return to it
  • permit requirements
  • maps needed
  • emergency contact information for rescue services and who you will leave an itinerary with)
