Deadline: 1/16 

Find a peer-reviewed scholarly journal article discussing blockchain technology. Complete a review of the article by writing a 2-3 page overview of the article. This will be a detailed summary of the journal article, including concepts discussed and findings. Additionally, find one other source (it does not have to be a peer-reviewed journal article) that substantiates the findings in the article you are reviewing. You should use the UC library ( https://www.ucumberlands.edu/library) and/or Google Scholar to find these types of articles ( https://scholar.google.com/ )Once you find the article, you will read it and write a review of it.  This is considered a research article review.Your paper should meet these requirements: 

• Be approximately three to four pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page.
• Follow APA 7 guidelines. Your paper should include an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.
• Support your answers with the readings from the course and at least two scholarly journal articles to support your positions, claims, and observations, in addition to your textbook. The UC Library is a great place to find resources.
• Be clearly and well-written, concise, and logical, using excellent grammar and style techniques. You are being graded in part on the quality of your writing.

Instructions:

NOTE: Make sure to fully read the instructions before starting

With this file you will find a handful of files ending in .txt containing the following data:

schedule.txt:

    A table containing applications, command line flags, start times, stop times, whether the application is enabled,

    and the days of the week the application runs. Days of the week are read as follows:

    1,4-7 = Sunday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday

    *     = Every day of the week

apps#.txt:

    A date to consider and an unsorted list of application names

example.txt:

    Example output for apps1.txt

Create a Python 3 program that does the following:

    1.  Takes the path to a schedule file, the path to an app file, and the path to an output file as command line arguments

    2.  Writes a csv of the applications that would run on the date in the app file as well as their options,

        start times, and stop times

For example, executing the following should result in a file similar to example.txt:

    python3 script.py schedule.txt apps1.txt example.txt

You can assume the apps files will never contain an application that is not present in the schedule file and that

neither input will contain malformed or invalid data

Two part quiz 

Discuss, in your own words using 500 words or more, how virtualization may create its own security vulnerabilities.  

Use at least three sources. Use the Research Databases available from the Danforth Library, not Google.

Do not use spinbot or other word replacement software. It usually results in nonsense and is not a good way to learn anything. . I will not spend a lot of my time trying to decipher nonsense. Proofread your work or have it edited. Find something interesting and/or relevant to your work to write about.  Please do not submit attachments unless requested.
