In this project, you will need to find, review, and summarize four different reputable sources concerning a topic related to the
last 400 years in Western civilization.

You may choose any topic related to the coursework that you like, but be careful that
your selection is neither too large nor too focused in order to ensure that your summaries can effectively discuss the topic.

If
the topic is too narrow, you may be unable to find four qualified sources. In that case, broaden the topic.

Your four sources are required to come from the CSU Online Library and fit the following criteria: (whatever source you get just state it was taken from the CSU Online Library)

1- One primary source: A document, object, or other material directly related to the topic and time. This should be a
document that provides a first-hand account of your topic without previous knowledge of the event. Examples may
include newspapers, diaries, letters, film, records, or speeches.

2-One current, relevant article: An article published in a reputable periodical within the last five years.

3-One peer-reviewed article: An article from a respected publication put out by universities, historical societies, or another
academic entity that has clearly identified the credentials of the author, reviewer, and publisher.

4-One published book: This can be in electronic or print form and from any time. Be sure to research the publisher, author,
and year as that may influence bias.

Do not submit more than four sources; only the first four sources listed will be considered.

Four selected reputable sources should be formatted in 6th edition APA style.
Annotation paragraphs should be written after each of the four sources (as outlined below).
The entries should be ordered alphabetically.
The entire annotated bibliography should be double-spaced with no additional spaces between entries.
No reference list should be included with the annotated bibliography as the entries themselves will contain the reference
list citation information

Identify and analyze five characteristics a distributed system needs in order to be reliable. Support your answer with examples. Write a

multi-paragraph response.

Compare the cost and reliability issues raised by multicomputers and virtualized systems.

All formalities in connection with assessment and coursework are covered in the Handbook for Undergraduate Students 2015/16. This is available on the Blackboard MyLaw tab. See in particular the guidance on Unfair Practice and Plagiarism explained and Referencing on pages 40-46, and Appendix II on coursework submission.

Question

Since 2008, Nana Motors, Newland’s largest car manufacturer, has been selling the Tato, a four passenger rear-enginedcity car. The Tato is the cheapest car in the world. It is sold for £3000 in Richland, one of its export markets.This is well below the price of other city cars such as the Taif 500, a front engine city car produced by Taif Motors of Richland.

In response to the strong sales of the Tato in Richland and pressure from the domestic industry, Richland has adopted an amendment to its car safety legislation. The amendment requires rear-engined city cars to be equipped with side airbags in addition to frontal airbags. Front-engined city cars do not have to be equipped with side airbags. The Tato Plus has no side airbags but could be equipped with them at a cost of £300 per car. In justification of the side airbag requirement for rear-engined city cars, Richland argues that rear-engined city cars pose a greater risk to the safety of their driver and passengers than front-engined city cars. Crash tests confirm that front-engined cars are safer than rear-engined cars in the case of a head-on collision which is a rare event compared to a side collision.

A recent survey showed that people in Richland generally consider front-engined cars to be much safer than rear-engined cars, although that does not seem to stop them from buying rear-engined cars. Nana Motors questions whether the increased safety, if any, resulting from side airbags is proportionate to the significant additional cost.

The side airbag requirement entered into force two months after its publication in the Official Gazette of Richland. Rear-engined city cars produced in, and imported, from Rockland will be exempted from the side airbag requirement for two years. This should allow RockCar, Rockland’s struggling manufacturer of city cars, to adapt to this new requirement. Under the terms of the Richland – Rockland bilateral free trade agreement, such grace period of two years is mandatory.

Contemporaneous with the adoption of the amendment to Richland’s car safety legislation, the Richland Committee for Standardization, a non-governmental standardizing body approved a new standard, Standard No. 412 on ‘Side Impact Protection – Rear-Engined City Cars. This standard specifies performance requirements for protection of occupants of city cars in side impact crashes. The purpose is to reduce the risk of serious and fatal injury to occupants of rear-engined city cars. While Standard No. 412 is not mandatory, Nana Motors is very concerned about this standard, as the Tato would not currently meet the performance requirements. Nana Motors points out that the performance requirements set out in Standard No. 412 are much higher than the performance requirements set out in the standard approved by the International Car Manufacturer’s Association in 1970.

Advise Richland on the consistency of the measures set out above with the TBT Agreement.

The growth of the Internet has exploded over the last 20 years as the result of many innovations in Information Technology. It has changed

the way people interact, receive the news, entertain themselves, and many other things. However, every change that introduces a benefit also

introduces a concern. This is at the heart of the ethical dilemma facing everyone that uses information technology today.

Write a multi-paragraph essay that examines easy Internet access. Identify technological innovations that make easy Internet access feasible

for the great majority of society. Discuss the benefits and concerns related to easy internet access.

Establishing My Academic and Career Path

As you begin the transition from academic courses to career opportunities, reflect on how the strategies already discussed can help to guide you

through the process. Consider the degree path you have chosen and what additional skills or activities you should engage in beyond the academic

learning in your courses to be successful. What initiatives and goals do you have for this career? Begin and continue to establish your academic

journey and career goals.

Individual courses within the program will offer opportunities through assignments that develop particular skills pertinent to specific career

requirements and transfer of acquired knowledge. Other courses and specific assignments such as interview, practicum, and capstone projects provide

opportunities for students to be exposed to relevant problems and creative activities in health care. These opportunities will require students to

apply techniques acquired from the classroom to active investigation with experienced mentors in the field.

Research where to find career openings in your chosen field, select a position you might be interested in, and identify the qualifications and

experience required. Identify these requirements as you progress through the coursework provided in your program. Take initiative to inquire and

explore as you make connections with your coursework and career goals. Some items to consider further are membership in a professional association, the

use of Internet job boards for research into future trends, licensure compliance throughout the country/world, and occupational conditions such as

location, shifts worked, required equipment, or safety standards.

Listed below are some suggestions related to the types of information that you may want to include in this section of the document:
1) Who? Who would make up my network (e.g., peers, instructors, professionals, colleagues) essential to success in my chosen field in relation to

this particular course?
2) What?What are my findings from researching competencies and/or certification requirements for my specific job role in relation to this course?
3) When?When should I begin to make the connection between my course of study and my career goals?
4) Where? Where does this course fit in my career goals? Where could I schedule an interview or internship to bridge the theory in my course with

the practice of a job in the field?
5) Why?Why are peer-reviewed articles important and what is the significance of them in a career in health care?
6) How? How does this course relate to the requirements of my career goals? How can I make a link between the course and career experience that I

need?

Focus on the concepts and skills learned from this course and spend time reflecting on Who, What, When, Where, Why or How, in establishing your

academic and career path. Examples are given below. The table will continue to expand as you progress through the course.

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act is a historic piece of legislation impacting a wide variety of financial institutions.

While many of the substantive changes included in the legislation mandates studies over the next several months and beyond by various regulatory

agencies, these mandates will affect financial institutions’ financing and business decisions. Is the banking industry being too rigorously regulated by

new banking laws to the point that it may increase costs to consumers? Will this rigorous regulation of banks prevent another financial crisis in the

future?
