Do some research on whistle blowing and Wikileaks. Do you feel that what Julian Assange was performing a service that was beneficial to our country? Keep in mind that information releases by folks like Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden helped change the way the government does business. Were there other ways to facilitate positive changes without putting sensitive information out here for the world to see? Is there a way to use your compass to morally justify the actions of Manning and/or Snowden?

You have been requested to design a software application for a large toy company that provides an online product catalog for ordering all types of toys and games. There are four types of users:
Guests
Members (credentials and history saved)
Titanium Members (achieved after spending $10,000 in one calendar year)
Administrators

Products will have typical information stored on them to include name, category, description, age group, price, weight, and much more. There will also be a rating system for products that members and titanium members can contribute to. Guests can review the rating information, but not contribute to it.
The software application should have a reporting function, so sales information needs to be retained.
Review the requirements above and, using Visio or any other diagramming software, create Class diagrams for User, Product, Rating System, and Sales. Explain each diagram and how the classes interrelate.

Will give perfect answer review

Evaluate Barry’s conduct of the observation assignment. (Please, be logically consistent, detailed, support your opinion/conclusions with references to external resources. Please, do some research)

Barry has recently been assigned to a project team that will be developing a new retail store management system for a chain of submarine sandwich shops. Barry has several years of experience in programming, but has not done much analysis in his career. He was a little nervous about the new work he would be doing, but was confident that he could handle any assignment he was given.
One of Barry’s first assignments was to visit one of the submarine sandwich shops and make an observation report on how the store operates. Barry planned to arrive at the store around noon, but he chose a store in an area of town he was unfamiliar with, and due to traffic delays and difficulty in finding the store, he did not arrive until 1:30 PM. The store manager was not expecting him and refused to let a stranger behind the counter until Barry had him contact the project sponsor (the director of store management) back at company headquarters to verify who he was and what his purpose was.
After finally securing permission to observe, Barry stationed himself prominently in the work area behind the counter so that he could see everything. The staff had to maneuver around him as they went about their tasks; however, there were only occasional minor collisions. Barry noticed that the store staff seemed to be going about their work very slowly and deliberately, but he supposed that was because the store was not very busy. At first, Barry questioned each worker about what he or she was doing, but the store manager eventually asked him not to interrupt their work so much—he was interfering with their service to the customers.
By 3:30, Barry was a little bored. He decided to leave, figuring that he could get back to the office and prepare his report before 5:00 PM that day. He was sure that his team leader would be pleased with his quick completion of his assignment. As he drove, he reflected, “There really won’t be much to say in this report. All they do is take the order, make the sandwich, collect the payment, and hand over the order. It’s really simple!” Barry’s confidence in his analytical skills soared as he anticipated his team leader’s praise.
Back at the store, the store manager shook his head, commenting to his staff, “He comes here at the slowest time of day on the slowest day of the week. He never even looked at all the work I was doing in the back room while he was here—summarizing yesterday’s sales, checking inventory on hand, making up resupply orders for the weekend … plus he never even considered our store opening and closing procedures. I hate to think that the new store management system is going to be built by someone like that. I’d better contact Chuck (the director of store management) and let him know what went on here today.”

Organizations do not have unlimited resources; leaders must develop and implement methods to prioritize and allocate the organization’s resources to meet and execute its business priorities. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of outsourcing the organization’s technology and cybersecurity requirements to external organizations (e.g., managed security service provider (MSSP).

This question is about Animal Friends’ use of paper records vs. digital records.
How is the paper used in making transactions and in record-keeping? Consider phone calls, forms with signatures, personal work products on peoples’ desks, historical documents, insurance policies, bank checks for payments and payroll, etc.
Are transaction papers kept, or is everything digitized after a transaction is completed (scanned, data entered into a digital form, etc.)?
Where do the Animal friends store its paper records, and why? Include all locations in all facilities, including safe deposit boxes at banks, papers kept at lawyers’ and accountants’ offices, and off-site storage (even in employees’ homes or home offices)
Did Animal friends have any formal policies about how paper records are kept, or do individual employees decide?
How do the Animal friends discard its papers?

ABC Inc. is a business consulting firm and has been in existence for 5 years. Currently, records of all customers have been stored using a traditional file system. This method seemed sufficient at the time due the company starting up with a small number of customers. Management is noticing the growth of ABC Inc. and has decided to implement a database system to accommodate this growth in the customers as well as shortening the turn-around time to handle customer queries. Management has sought your services as an IT Systems analyst to assess the current system and advise appropriately on a feasible solution to implementing the database system.
Your initial task is to assess the current system and report on the limitations of the traditional file system. Provide a detailed account of at least five (5) limitations of the current traditional file system.

Management has sought your services as an IT Systems analyst to assess the current system and advise appropriately on a feasible solution to implementing the database system.

Based on the detailed report provided in Question 1, management has decided to provide signed approval for the development of the database structure within ABC Inc. Employees are a bit hesitant on accepting this change to the business environment since this will change the way they are currently completing their tasks. Suggest to management of appropriate change management strategies to ease in the acceptance of the new database structure with the employees of ABC Inc. (at least four strategies should be explained in detail).
