1. The purpose of this assignment is to teach you about encryption and for you to be able to encrypt and protect your important documents before you store them in the cloud.

2. Please be careful with the encryption. If you loose or forget the password of your encrypted file, you will not be able to recover the documents.

3. Take Backup of your System. It is important to take backup anytime you are installing or removing a program. It is also important to take regular backups.

4. Download an encryption software. I recommend veracrypt (https://www.veracrypt.fr/en/Home.html (Links to an external site.)) but you are free to use any software other than built in filevault or bitlocker. Create an encrypted container of 10MB. Add a file to the container. Try to mount and dismount and see how you can access the files.

5. If you get a message, "OSXFuse seems to be missing on your machine. VeraCrypt requires OSXFuse 2.5 or above." Go ahead and install that too. OSXfuse adds to Mac's file handling capabilities.

6. Take 4-5 screenshots of the entire process and paste it on a word document and upload it here.

1 of the following government intervention programs:

• Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

WRITE a 700- to 1,050-word summary of your analysis. Identify the intervention and the market failure leading up to the intervention. Complete the following in your paper:

• Analyze the arguments for government intervention as opposed to arguments for market-based solutions.Hint:See the information about market failures.
• Examine who has been helped and who has been hurt by the selected government intervention.
• Examine externalities and unintended consequences of such intervention. For example, consider whether the SNAP program and health coverage for low-income families result in higher future tax revenues because low-income children grow up healthier and produce higher incomes over their lifetimes.
• Analyze whether cost of the intervention you selected as a share of GDP or the number of participants is increasing,decreasing, or varies with the state of the economy, based on the cost trend(or number of participants) since its inception or since 2000.
• Analyze credible economists’ opinions on the success or failure of the intervention that you chose in achieving its objectives.
• Recommend whether the program should be continued as is, discontinued, or modified based on your conclusions. Defend your recommendation.

As a auditor, I was assigned to a team to audit possible payroll fraud. The company we were auditing always handed the Friday payroll checks to the department supervisor to disburse. On this visit it was my responsibility to gather a signatures, verify the employee ID to the payroll register for the shipping/warehouse department. Paychecks were always presented at 9AM, so the employees were there to pick them up as we were told.

This one department always had a high turnover rate. On this Friday I was in the warehouse managers office ready to go. One by one the drivers and warehouse personnel came in with ID and signed for their checks. At the end of the time period there were three checks leftover. The warehouse manager said three employees were out doing deliveries. I said have them see me when they come back, I will be here all day (10 hours).

Question:

1. Identify one way that the warehouse manager could defraud the company under the present system.

2. Discuss a control feature that the company can use to safeguard against fraud.

In addition, there is a 200 word minimum for your initial post.

(using for loop, parameters, if, else condition only )Python: Write a program that prompts the user to enter a positive integer value, and compute the following sequence: • If the value is even, halve it. • If it's odd, multiply by 3 and add 1. • Repeat this process until the value is 1, printing out each value. • Then print out how many of these operations you performed. If the input value is less than 1, print a message containing the word Error and exit the program. assume that the input will have smaller than 200 operations. This is how the output should look like: Initial value is: 9 Next value is: 28 Next value is: 14 Next value is: 7 Next value is: 22 Next value is: 11 Next value is: 34 Next value is: 17 Next value is: 52 Next value is: 26 Next value is: 13 Next value is: 40 Next value is: 20 Next value is: 10 Next value is: 5 Next value is: 16 Next value is: 8 Next value is: 4 Next value is: 2 Final value 1, number of operations performed 19

Throughout this course, you will be learning about object-oriented programming and demonstrating what you learn by writing some programs in Java. The first step will be to install and integrated development environment (IDE) that will be where you will write and compile your programs. You will also write your first program using Java to show that you have correctly installed the IDE.

The project instructions and deliverables are as follows:

• Download and install Java JDK and NetBeans IDE using the default installation options
• Run the IDE and take a screenshot.
• Create a console program that prompts the user to enter these three pieces of information:

  • The address of the restaurant
  • Their favorite meal at the restaurant
• Store in memory the three pieces of information above, each in a separate variable.
• Display this information on screen, showing each input on a separate line.
• Run your program and take a screenshot.
• Create a document in Word, and add the following:
  • Title page which includes: Course Number, Course Section, Course Name, Project Name (Unit 1 IP), Student Name and Date

Read the following scenario. Janice was hired by Dream Massage to be a massage therapist. She is engaged as an independent contractor and, therefore, receives no tax withholding or employment benefits. Dream Massage requires Janice to work a set schedule, provides her with clients and all her massage products, and exercises complete control over how Janice does her work. In addition, when Janice shows up to work the first day, she is informed by Dream Massage that she cannot wear her hijab as it violates the company's dress code policy. The owner of Dream Massage comes to you, a human resources (HR) consultant, to find out if Janice is properly classified as an independent contractor and if there is potential liability concerning the hijab. Create a 700- to 1,050-word HR report for Dream Massage in which you examine the employment issues presented in the scenario. Include the following: Analyze whether Janice qualifies as an employee or should be classified as an independent contractor. Discuss whether Dream Massage has potentially violated any employment discrimination laws. Analyze ethical considerations associated with the maintenance of a rigid company dress policy.
