Homeland Security / Terrorism
The purpose of this assignment is to explore the horizon of America’s terrorism threat portfolio. Your assignment is not to merely identify and list organizations and movements that may engage in terrorist activities against the U.S. but also to demonstrate a deeper understanding, based upon research you conduct, of their history and their motivations. Based upon the research questions below, you are to write an analysis of 1,000–1,250 words that addresses the current and future foreign-borne terrorism threat portfolio of the United States. Include in your discussion an assessment of possible solution sets and techniques, based upon your analysis of the terrorist organizations you identify as the most threatening.
While forecasting future events is an inexact science, a professional intelligence analyst bases their conclusions on solid facts and sound principals of analysis. It is extremely important that you do the same in this assignment.

CMIS 485 Final project
Develop an application that allows the input, updating, and deletion of customers, homes, salespersons, and sales from your Reston Real Estate (RRE) Oracle database in the VDA that you have been using since Project #2.
Develop a test scenario that adds 3 (three) homes, 3 (three) customers, 1 (one) salesperson (i.e. agent), and 3 (three) sales. Each new customer must be involved in a separate sale for one of the new homes. The new salesperson is involved in all three sales. Take screen snapshots of each step operation mentioned.
After the initial data above are input, change one customer’s last name, another customer’s address, the salesperson’s phone number, and the sale amount of one of the homes. Take screen snapshots to prove that this worked.

Finally, delete all 3 (three) of the new customers, homes, sales, and the new salesperson. Take screen snapshots to prove that this worked
Marketing Plan, Target Market, and SWOT Analysis – Tesla Motors
Paper details
Unit II Research Project
Marketing Plan
In application of the concepts learned in this course, you will research an EXISTING publicly traded company compiling a comprehensive marketing plan for this company throughout the course. Note that this is NOT a hypothetical entrepreneurial venture but instead an existing publicly traded company, of your choice. Researching the TESLA MOTORS, you will research the various elements of the marketing plan as it relates to this company. In Unit II you will present the Target Market and a SWOT Analysis.
Target Market
Begin by discussing segmentation of the market based upon demographic, behavioral, geographic, and psychographic criteria. Apply these criteria to your company, explaining their importance to the company. This analysis will enable you to identify the target market(s) thoroughly. Within your explanation, discuss why the identification of a target market is of the utmost importance to a company.
SWOT Analysis
Perform a SWOT analysis for your company remembering that the strengths and weaknesses are internal and the opportunities and threats are external. Set this up using a table and/or bullet points with clear explanation following the chart.
What is a hero?
write a 500-word definition essay
Your essay will be graded on its ability to adhere to the definition essay form. Does your essay attempt to define a problematic concept? Does it add to the discussion of how people might understand the topic? What is at stake in your discussion? In other words, is there a group of people who might be vindicated by your definition? Remember that while you are writing a definition essay, you want to avoid using the dictionary itself. This is meant to be a definition that you create, not one that you copy from a source. In addition, the dictionary is never considered a strong academic source because information that comes from the dictionary and encyclopedias is considered “common knowledge.” Therefore, inserting a dictionary definition into your paper makes it seem as though you are not a strong researcher.
You will be graded using the following categories: content, organization, grammar and style conventions, resources, references, and APA formatting. Your essay will also be graded on its development. See the flow chart on page 77 in Strategies for Writing Successful Research Papers for guidance. Be sure that you revise, proofread, and format your essay according to APA standards. See The CSU Citation Guide. If you use outside sources, you need to use quotation marks for lifted language, as well as in-text and reference list citations. The APA organization/formatting should adhere to specifications for research papers, including the following:
A title page that includes the title of the paper, the name of the student, and the name of the institution (Columbia Southern University);
A proper running head according to APA 6th edition guidelines found in The CSU Citation Guide on pp. 13-14;
One (1) academically valid source (see p. 18 of The CSU Citation Guide for assistance with finding sources through the CSU Online Library)
A reference page with a centered header of “References” properly reflecting all sources used within the text (see The CSU Citation Guide, p. 16 for overall formatting guidelines and pp. 7-12 for formatting guidelines for specific source types).
