Suppose that the U.S. military deploys the X-47B, an unmanned aerial drone capable of sensing, tracking, identifying, targeting, and destroying an enemy target with very limited human oversight—assume it is a human-on­-the-loop weapon. As a weapon in the ongoing conflict with the Islamic State (ISIS) terrorist organization, X-47B is tasked with missions to target and kill senior ISIS operatives. Now imagine a particular mission, in which an X-47B is given a programmed mission to carry out a targeted strike on two ISIS operatives, call them ‘V’ and ‘Z’, whom surveillance reports indicate are currently located in northern Iraq near the Turkish border. According to reliable intelligence, V and Z are instrumental in planning and leading operations to ransack, pillage, and then demolish world historical sites in Iraq (e.g. Khorsabad, Nergal Gate at Nineveh, and Monastery of St. Elijah), looting priceless antiquities and smuggling them to be sold on black markets in Europe and Asia, in order to generate capital to fund ISIS’s continued armed insurgency [for more on this particular practice, see Harkin, “Murdering History,” Smithsonian, March 2016]. V and Z are thereby deemed legitimate and high-value military targets. They are also elusive, with fairly sophisticated clandestine methods for relocating and evading detection; finding their present location required substantial surveillance drone resources over the course of several months.

Further suppose, that you are also in northern Iraq in a village near the Turkish border, working for a humanitarian aid organization providing healthcare services to Kurdish people whose communities have been ravaged and infrastructure degraded by ISIS. Part of your duties involve going out into local villages to distribute medical supplies and provide support services at community centers. Your team is primarily composed of American, British, and German nurses and doctors. Today, you are at one such community center providing care and supplies to hundreds of civilians. In a building 200 meters from the center in which you are working, V and Z are plotting another raid on a nearby historical site. The X-47B has accurately tracked and identified the location of V and Z, it also recognizes that the nearby community center contains many innocent non-combatants. Nevertheless, X-47B calculates that launching a precise and limited strike on V and Z’s suspected location will only produce a blast radius of no more than 75 meters, and determines that the identified non-combatants are not likely to be harmed. After computing its decision-procedure algorithm, X-47B fixes its target and initiates a missile strike to complete its mission, and no human overrides its lethal decision. V and Z are immediately killed, but the building was also housing several tons of explosives used in their demolition of historical sites. X-47B’s calculations did not account for the unknown explosives, which extend the blast radius of the strike to 225 meters. A wing of the community center collapses from the force of the blast, killing 15 civilians and one American nurse on your team, many others are severely injured and a British doctor is trapped under some of the rubble. After overcoming the initial disorientation from the blast, you and your remaining team rush to minimize casualties and treat the civilian victims.

[5 pts.] Was X-47B justified in initiating the missile strike to eliminate V and Z? Why or why not? Use principles of distinction, proportionality, or military necessity invoked in international humanitarian law governing armed conflict to defend your position.

[5 pts.] Who should be held morally responsible for the unintended harms and casualties? As a witness to the atrocity and possible victim, in this hypothetical case, how do you propose that the U.S. military should respond to the consequences of the X-47B’s strike? Defend your position.

Early in 2016, Dobbs Corporation engaged Kiner, Inc. to design and construct a complete modernization of Dobbs's manufacturing facility. Construction was begun on June 1, 2016 and was completed on December 31, 2016 Dobbs made the following payments to Kiner, Inc. during 2016:

In order to help finance the construction, Dobbs issued the following during 2016:

In addition to the 9% bonds payable, the only debt outstanding during 2016 was a $357,000, 12% note payable dated January 1, 2012 and due January 1, 2019, with interest payable annually on January 1.

Compute the amounts of each of the following:

Problem:

You will write a program to compute some statistics based on monthly average temperatures for a given month in each of the years 1901 to 2016. The data for the average August temperatures in the US has been downloaded from the Climate Change Knowledge Portal, and placed in a file named “tempAugData.txt”, available on the class website. The file contains a sequence of 116 values. The temperatures are in order, so that the first one is for 1901, the second is for 1902, and so on through 2016.

The statistics you should compute in your program are:

• The average of the monthly average temperatures for the entire time period.

• The number of years that the monthly average reached at least X degrees where X is a value input from the user. These years should also be displayed to the screen.

• The maximum monthly average temperature for the time period and in what year it occurred.

• The minimum monthly average temperature for the time period and in what year it occurred.

Input: Your program should ask the user for the name of the file, and then open that file for input. It should then ask the user for a boundary temperature (the X in the second bullet above) that is used to calculate some of the statistics. Processing: Compute the statistics requested above.

Output: Display the statistics, labeled, and with the temperatures formatted to 1 decimal place. Also output the count of the years above X before outputting the list of the years.

Sample output:

Please enter the name of the temperature data file: tempAugData.txt Please enter the boundary temperature: 68.0

Climate Data statistics: Average temperature: 66.2

Years that averaged at least 68.0 degrees: 7 1936 1995 2003 2007 2010 2011 2016

Maximum average temperature: 68.9 occurred in 2007

Minimum average temperature: 63.9 occurred in 1927

Additional Requirements:

• Your program must compile and run, otherwise you will receive a 0.

• Your program should test for file open errors.

• I recommend temporarily echoing the input from the file to the screen (using cout) to be sure you are reading the input correctly into your array.

• You should have many separate loops in your program. Do not try to compute everything in one single loop.

• For partial credit, implement some subset of the features completely. This will probably lead to a better score than implementing every feature poorly
