The jungle is getting polluted due to human encroachment and the animals need your help to
gauge how long they can suffer before they finally start a war against the humans. You need to
help them with pollution statistics.
For this assignment, you shall be parsing the pollution data of a city provided in the form of a
CSV (comma separated value) file . Your job is to build a system that stores this pollution data
and is able to query it by date in near constant time. You shall do this by implementing a hash
table-based in-memory database using single linked chains for collision resolution. The
database will contain the following fields.
year month day hour pm2.5 TEMP
You will load the CSV file into the database and then make a query of a date. If the date is not
found in the database, your program will respond with a “not found” message. Otherwise, the
program will print out the minimum, maximum, and average pm2.5 and TEMP of that date. You
will also be asked to remove a date (a “year,” “month,” and “day” combination) from the
database. In that case you need to remove all the entries related to that particular date.
For a reminder of how hashed chaining works, watch this 5 minute video from Prof. Leo Porter
about hash tables

Explore the impact that the female characters in the novel The Wars by Timothy Findley have on the male characters in terms of the power dynamics between the two genders at the time and the traditional/stereotypical gender roles that defined each

Explore the impact that the female characters in the novel The Wars by Timothy Findley have on the male characters. How do you explain in terms of the power dynamics between the two genders at the time and the traditional/stereotypical gender roles that defined each?

Al-Quran, The Thousand and One Nights, and Son Jara.

The standard format for this response is as follows: a.
Introductory paragraph(s)
working up to a thesis statement. Your thesis
statement– the central idea or the topic in a sentence or two, carries
your essay (as much as the paragraphs beyond the introductory one(s) have to
elaborately explain the points of your
thesis statement). Your introductory
paragraph(s) create the background and context that contribute to and prepare
the readers for your thesis statement. So, your introductory paragraph(s) usually
culminate in your thesis statement. Please underline your thesis statement presented at the end of your introductory
paragraph(s). b. Subsequent body paragraphs for expanding
the points of the thesis statement. Points are to be expanded sequentially. One or more body paragraph(s) may develop one
point. As you venture to organize a
certain body paragraph with a view to developing a point of the thesis statement, you do so by offering
a topic sentence stating the general rationale of the point—the rest of the
body paragraph(s) elaborate the general rationale by your argument in terms of
specific evidence and viable explanation. Maintain transition as you go from one body
paragraph to another. c.
Concluding paragraph(s). Your conclusion sums up your essay, and
reasserts/rephrases the thesis. You may
choose to leave a final remark articulating an appeal, an opinion, a quotation
or such. Do not introduce any new
information or idea here!
The evaluation of your essay considers such aspects as: a. original insight (10 points), b. formation
of a thesis (10), c. reference to the
text (10), d. analysis (10), e. coherence (10), f. relevance (10), g.
organization (20), and h. length (20) [at least two full pages for
each response]. Identical and
plagiarized “answers” are automatically discarded and penalized. Your response
may be examined holistically.
Attempt two
from the following issues. For each response, identify the one attempted.
1.
Explain the articulation in which “The Opening” in The Quran connects the material world to eternity.
2.
Narrate the story of Joseph as depicted in The Quran. Discuss the themes in the depiction.
3.
Retell “The
Most High”. What does Allah (God)
ask of humanity?
4.
Examine the eternal hope as elaborated in “Daylight”.
5.
Focus on “Clots
of Blood”. What does Allah confirm
of the vainglorious among men?
6.
Examine the Islamic nature of monotheism from
the Surahs of The Quran. Allah’s
Mercy and Compassion are the recurring motifs of The Quran. Discuss.
7.
What is Frame Story? What constitutes the frame for The
Thousand and One Nights? Examine its
tales.
8.
Characterize Shahrazad the princess and
Shahrayar the king.
9.
Explore the Mali epic of Son Jara.
10.
Compare and contrast Gilgamesh and Son
Jara.

WW2 Economic development & Debate between good or bad war

Good morning, the assignment is requiring to answer this question ” Describe how government military spending during the war affected the economic development of the West and South. “.

The post should include a Properly Formatted Thesis Statement at the end of the Introduction paragraph.
(One Clear Argument with two reasons to defend the argument in one sentence)
The post must contain specific examples and clearly explain why/how those examples prove your argument. Be sure to not only mention specific examples but also describe how those examples support your argument. Do remember – Our “argument” lives in its examples.)
Be sure to follow the format rules outlined below. They ensure the post not only helps communicate our ideas completely but it also fulfills all our learning goals.
HINT FROM PROFESSOR: If the argument is about wartime spending, then would it not make sense to describe the amount and the war, in general, to set the stage before the main argument stated in the thesis statement?
FOLLOWING THE FORMAT IS CRITICAL FOR A GOOD GRADE:
Following the format outlined in the instructions is critical in accomplishing the three learning goals of the assignment. POINTS WILL BE LOST if the format is not followed.
VISUAL REPRESENTATION OF FORMAT:

FORMAT INSTRUCTIONS WRITTEN
The Post should be three paragraphs long
1) Introduction (2) Defense Paragraph #1 (3) Defense Paragraph #2.
As always a Paragraph = minimum of 5 sentences
PARAGRAPH #1 = INTRODUCTION TO TOPIC
Give the background information about the topic at issue. Specifically the seven ID (Identification) categories.
WHO-(I.E. give full names of WHO was a transcendentalist),
WHAT (I.E. – WHAT was the movment about),
WHEN(IE- WHEN did the movement start or WHEN was its “golden age”,
WHERE (IE – WHERE was it created)
WHY (IE – WHY Was it created)
HOW – (IE how did they do whatever they did),
Most importantly be sure to state the HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE of the movement (IE – what was so HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT about the topic/ or put another whay- what the big deal about this topic? Why should we care soo much?)
MOST IMPORTANTLY –> The post should include a Properly Formatted Thesis Statement at the end of the Introduction paragraph.
(One Clear Argument with two reasons to defend the argument in one sentence)
PARAGRAPH #2 and PARAGRAPH #3
Paragraphs #2 & #3 are Defense Paragraphs expanding on Reason #1 & Reason #2 of the Thesis statement. One paragraph per reason.
TO BE CLEAR – This is not where we give background info on the topic. If one of the ideas of the transcendentalists was to focus more on nature & spirituality, then the First Defense Paragraph defends one reason why these ideas are good for society and the second paragraph defends another.
HARD PART = PROPER INTRODUCTION SENTENCE
The most difficult part of the assignment is Creating a complete Introduction Sentences to the Defense paragraphs. Remember – A quality introduction sentence sums up what the the entire paragraph wil be about.
These will be difficult but are very useful exercises for the mind AND utilize all three of our learning goals.
For our class together – Please be sure to include the following three key components:
Restate the main argument (stated in the thesis Statement)
Restate one of the two reasons provided in the thesis statement
State – HOW the evidence provided (Evidence = the specific examples of art that the paragraph will reference) proves the argument
VALUE FOR THE CRITICAL THINKING INTRODUCTION SENTENCE
It helps Remind the audience of WHAT the main argument is.
It helps Inform the audience which of the two Defense Categories of the thesis the following ‘Defense Paragraph’ will focus on
It helps Inform the audience of HOW the evidence supports the main argument claim. By summarizing HOW the evidence supports the main claim, the audience is better prepared to follow along/understand why the argument is a good argument.
By Creating our own pathways in the mind – it helps us to better recall and communicate the essence of the Argument while making future arguments easier to create and understand. In other words – it helps us remember/recall the logical train of thought/Argument,” and it helps the mind create such pathways in the future.
GRADE WISE – It accomplishes all three of our learning goals. (1) Knowledge (2) Critical thinking (3) Communication

IF POSSIBLE PLEASE FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS. THIS DISCUSSION AS WELL REQUEST TO REPLY TO A STUDENT BUT NO ONE HAS POSTED IT YET : ( SO AFTER A FEW HOURS BEFORE SUBMISSION. I WILL JUST POST WHAT A STUDENT HAS POSTED AND PLEASE GIVE YOUR MEANING / REPLY TO IT WHICH OS PART OF THE ASSIGNMENT.
THANK YOU !!!

Partnerships for Improving State and Local Government Cybersecurity

Before you begin, read this report: https://www.nlc.org/resource/state-and-local-partnerships-for-cybersecurity/ (Click the Download Report link at the bottom of the page)
Prepare a briefing statement (3 to 5 paragraphs) for a group of state government employees and local government city managers who are interested in learning more about the benefits of working together with peers in government to improve their organization’s cybersecurity posture.
These employees and managers are not all technically savvy so ensure that laymen can understand your statement. This audience’s specific interest is in obtaining help in preventing data breaches since state agencies and city governments collect, process, transmit, and store large amounts of private information about individuals. This private information might include:
Student Records (K-12)
Online Reservation & Payment Systems for Parks & Recreation Facilities
Hospitals (Patient Records)
Vital Records (Birth / Death Certificates)
License Applications (Marriage, Business, Driver’s Licenses)
Building Permits (including architectural drawings and property information)
Your briefing statement should answer the following two questions:
Will working with peer government organizations, e.g. through regional or national partnerships, help reduce risks and improve a small agency’s cybersecurity practic
es? Why or why not?
Who else could each city partner with to reduce the risks and impacts of data breaches?
