Choose one of the data warehousing / data mart dimensional models listed below. Copy the data model into a MS Word document. In your MS Word document. (You can copy the data model graphic by right-clicking on it. On PCs, the keyboard combination of ctrl-V is the shortcut command for pasting.) In the MS Word document, 1) identify the fact table 2) identify the dimension tables, 3) for each dimension table, identify the attribute(s) that would be matched to an attribute in the fact table, and 4) list four queries that could be produced from this data model. For example, the queries from a data model of real estate sales that could typically be produced by matching a fact table to one or more dimension tables include: a) list of properties sold by each real estate agent, b) total properties sold by state, c) types of properties sold by month and year, d) dollar value of properties sold by each real estate company, e) total homes sold by real estate agent by company by year.DataMart for FX Deals (Links to an external site.)Insurance Data Warehouse / Dimensional Model (Links to an external site.)Dimensional Model for Logistics & Shipments (Links to an external site.)Star Schema Dimensional Data Model (Links to an external site.)Advertising Dimensional Model (Links to an external site.)A Retail Bank Dimensional Model (Links to an external site.)Dimensional Data Model for eCommerce (Links to an external site.)A Dimensional Model for Activity-Based Costing (Links to an external site.)nvestment Banking Model (Links to an external site.)Dimensional Data Model for Logistics (Links to an external site.)Submit your MS Word documentResources: These are the same resources used for the Week 6 – Data Warehouse Assignment.Textbook: Module 13 – Business Intelligence and Data WarehousingVideo: Module 13 – Introduction to Data Warehousing (5:27 min.)PowerPoint: Module 13 Review charts

PurposeThis is an individual project. At the University of the Cumberlands, it is a priority that students are provided with strong educational programs and courses that allow them to be servant-leaders in their disciplines and communities, linking research with practice and knowledge with ethical decision-making. This assignment is a written assignment where students will demonstrate how this course research has connected and put into practice within their own career.DescriptionProvide a reflection of at least 500 words (or 2 pages double spaced) of how the knowledge, skills, or theories of this course have been applied, or could be applied, in a practical manner to your current work environment. If you are not currently working, share times when you have or could observe these theories and knowledge could be applied to an employment opportunity in your field of study. DeliverablePrepare a 2-3 page (excluding title and reference page) APA styled Microsoft Word document that shares a personal connection that identifies specific knowledge and theories from this course as well as demonstrates a connection to your current work environment.Submit your assignment to Grammarly. Revise your assignment based upon the results from Grammarly. Submit evidence that you submitted and used the Grammarly results.You have two attempts. After submitting your first attempt, view the SafeAssign results and modify your assignment if needed. The second attempt is your final attempt and will be graded. 

This week’s assigned film, Alive Inside, showed people re-discovering music that had been meaningful to them at a much earlier time in their life, and explored how music deeply shapes our memories and identities. Although the film focused on dementia patients, music has this power for all of us, helping form our sense of self, and creating powerful shared experiences with others.Imagine yourself 50 years from now, and choose two songs, one that you think you will remember as being meaningful from this current time, and another that was meaningful to you during your childhood or an earlier period of life. They could be songs that you especially enjoyed or identified with, or that you associate with an important memory, place, or people.For each song, write a paragraph briefly answering the following 2 questions:1 Why do you think the song is especially meaningful for you?2 How do you think those meanings relate to song’s sonic qualities? (i.e., not just the lyrics/words)In other words, in addition to telling us why the song matters for you, try to connect that emotional experience of the song with the way it sounds. In describing sound, you do not have to use the terms discussed in the Levitin reading, though you may do so if that helps. Describing the sound of music can be difficult, but just do your best to listen carefully to the way the song sounds, and then say something about how you think that affects what it means for you.Label the 2 paragraphs as “Current song” and “Earlier song,” and provide a link to each song if available. Also, please do not criticize anyone else’s musical taste or feel at all embarrassed about your own! We each experience music in our own ways.

According to the authors, privacy and security go hand in hand; and hence, privacy cannot be protected without implementing proper security controls and technologies. Today, organizations must make not only reasonable efforts to offer protection of privacy of data, but also must go much further as privacy breaches are damaging to its customers, reputation, and potentially could put the company out of business.  As we continue learning from our various professional areas of practice, its no doubt that breaches have become an increasing concern to many businesses and their future operations.   For this discussion, find an example of a security breach which compromised data records at a company in the same industry as you will be using in your final paper. Summarize the breach, discuss the data that was lost and identify security controls that you would recommend be in place (be certain to remember to cite sources) that could have prevented this breach from occurring. Remember to critical respond appropriately to two other leaners for full points.Please make your initial post and two response posts substantive. At least one scholarly source should be used in the initial discussion thread. Be sure to use information from your readings and other sources from the UC Library. Use proper citations and references in your post.

AssignmentDeterrence is designated to dissuade potential violators from launching threat and criminal acts against organizations. Aura Security in physical security is often heightened by security professional measures such as signs placed along perimeters near openings of the facility. Aura security strives to create strong phycological deterrent warning offenders and keeping them away from the facility. Deterrence has very limited or no physical security mechanism and Detection apparatus is used in most facilities to detect perpetrators. Such devices include devices closed circuit television (CCTV), intrusion sensors, duress alarms, weapons screening devices and protective dogs. Traditionally, these devices are installed to identify violators upon arrival in the facility.The university president is very concerned about external threats. What countermeasures such as deterrence or detection must be implemented on campus to enhance student, faculty and staff security?
