The topic for this discussion is “ Note that this is NOT a yes/no question. There are many different levels of responsibility that a manufacturer could be given. Here\’s a few examples:The manufacturer should have to pay for all damages caused by use of their productThe manufacturer should have to notify all customers anytime a flaw is found and repair it at no cost ASAP.The manufacturer should have to make patches available but are under no obligation to notify all customers.The manufacturer has no obligation at all (the current situation).Moreover, there may need to be a time limit. Should they be responsible for five years after the product is released? Ten years? Forever?And what about free software?There are no easy answers to these questions, it is a really difficult issue.

Need to prepare an outline about Benjamin Franklin about how you would choose to communicate Benjamin\’s relevance to today.  This is not a biography.  It should highlight how society remembers him today.   I also need a 2 page reflection highlighting how society remembers Benjamin Franklin today, based on the philosophies and ideals he presented or helped to change and evolve. the above should be APA style.

For this discussion we are staying with the theme of negative externalities in cybersecurity. But this time, it\’s personal!We\’ve occasionally touched on cybersecurity in the home this quarter. From a perspective of cyberwar or cyberterrorism, most of what you worry about at home is not a serious concern. Ransomware or spyware or a file deletion virus on our personal computers isn\’t a national security issue.But there is one way in which the cybersecurity of your personal computer does potentially become a national security issue – if attackers are using your computer to launch an attack on someone else, for instance, on critical infrastructure. This happens in two ways:1. The attacker may use your computer as an interim step in an attack, for the purpose of making attribution difficult.2. Your computer may be part of a botnet.The first of these is not actually as significant of a threat as the second. When an attacker routes an attack through other computers, they usually want to use computers that are connected to the internet 24 hours a day, and personal computers often are not. They are much more likely to use compromised web servers than personal computers for this purpose.But for botnets, they just want to control as many computers as possible, whether those computers are online 24/7 or not.If you haven\’t noticed already, this is another perfect example of a negative externality. You pay very little price if your computer is part of a botnet. It may slow your internet connection occasionally, but otherwise you won\’t even know anything is happening. But the victims of the attack will. Your lack of cybersecurity is a negative externality, passing along the cost to someone else.So here\’s the question:Should individuals have some responsibility for protecting their computer from becoming part of a botnet? Should there be a penalty if they are part of a botnet?And if you want to go in a slightly different direction, ISPs can usually identify when a customer\’s computer is part of a botnet (though they may not be able to identify the exact computer). Should ISPs be required to notify a customer if their computer is part of a botnet? Should the ISP have the power (or even be required) to disconnect that customer from the internet until the customer can have their computer “cleaned”?You can post on either of those topics, or both.

After watching the \”The War on Drugs: Winners and Losers\” video, and reading , take a stand on legalization, decriminalization, or status quo regarding how drug use is treated in our society. a 1,400-word paper that responds to the following: What is the issue? What is your stance on the issue? Can this stance be applied universally,  or would you employ different stances depending on the substance?  your position with at least three peer-reviewed articles in addition to the text and video. a discussion about who may be affected by the approach you would select, and how you would advocate for that population. your paper consistent with APA guidelines.For this paper, it is not acceptable to use political websites that are not based on sound research. You must use scholarly works that have taken a critical thinking approach versus an unsupported emotional one.

There is a need for schools and teachers to connect with families of English language learners. To facilitate this collaborative spirit, educators must encourage parents of all cultures to become part of the school culture. First read the article, “.” Think about what you would like parents to know as they partner with you in educating their child. What could parents share about their culture that would help the classroom teacher be more effective?Design a series of three activities for parents and students at your school that honor and respect cultural diversity. 

 There is a common misconception that analog technology is no longer used in the transmission of digital data. However, analog transmission of data is transmitted using electricity, light, and radio. Transmissions in the air use radio, microwave, and satellite media. These transmissions take place in a specific OSI layer. a detailed diagram or set of diagrams to show how the letter  is transmitted in an electrical, light, and radio wave. Show the similarities and differences between how data is transmitted in these three processes. Show the layers of the OSI model that are involved with translating the  to wave form or light pulses to include coding. Annotate the diagram(s) or add written information to the diagram(s) to explain the processes to a person that is not familiar with the technology.

Project description
The two companies are Garmin and Fitbit For this assignment, apply the next three steps of the nine-step assessment process detailed in Assessing a Companys Future Financial Health (i.e., Step 5: External Financing Need, Step 6: Target Sources of Finance, and Step 7: Viability of 3-5 Year Plan) to compose further assessment of the company/competitor pairing analysis as below:
Current financial plan. Interpret current equity valuations in order to recommend strategic solutions regarding future financial goals. Consider how stock splits and stock dividend allocations can impact the plan.
Future external financing needs. To support growth, companies need capital, and external financial needs are vital any firms future success. Describe external financing needs sufficient to support your ongoing analytical assumptions and pro forma financial statements for your chosen company and competitor.
Access to target sources of external financing. You will need to consider the amount of financing, timing, length of time required, and deferability of financing options.
Viability of a 3-5 Year Plan. Assess the consistency of the plan with the firms goals, and the achievability of both the operating plan and the financing plan you are proposing.

Review at least three websites of professional organizations for mental health and related fields provided in this week’s list of Recommended Websites. Compare and contrast the key features of three mental health-related disciplines.Address the following questions in your initial post: Review several of your classmates’ posts. Provide a substantive response to at least two of your peers. Do you agree with their analyses of the professionals’ contributions to the treatment of depression?  Would you have selected different common or distinctive themes for any of the organizations?
