In chapter 6, the author describes basic components of a business network. Create a new thread, choose one of the types of participants discussed in chapter 6, and explain how you think the chosen participant type could effectively use assets in an enterprise blockchain environment to impact the organization’s outcomes.

Then think of three questions you’d like to ask other students and add these to the end of your thread. The questions should be taken from material you read in Chapter 5 or 6. You’re not trying to test each other, but you are trying to start a discussion. 

You must do the following:

1) Create a new thread. As indicated above, choose one of the types of participants discussed in chapter 6, and explain how you think the chosen participant type could effectively use assets in an enterprise blockchain environment to impact the organization’s outcomes. Then think of three questions you’d like to ask other students and add these to the end of your thread. The questions should be taken from material you read in Chapter 5 or 6. You’re not trying to test each other, but you are trying to start a discussion.

2) Select AT LEAST 3 other students’ threads and post substantive comments on those threads. Your comments should answer AT LEAST one of the questions posed in the thread and extend the conversation started with that thread. Make sure that you include the question in your comment so I can see what question you’re answering.

ALL original posts and comments must be substantive AND ORIGINAL. (I’m looking for about a paragraph – not just a short answer.) Do not plagiarize!! Use your own words.

The discussions in this class exist to simulate face-to-face discussions. To reach that goal, we will adhere to the 3CQ model. After posting each thread, you will post at least 3 comments on other students’ threads, and each comment must conform to the 3CQ model (Compliment, Comment, Connect, Question). This model encourages discussions that extend class learning and participation.

Here is a description of the 3CQ model:

1.            Compliment – Start off positive. Compliment the person on something specific you have read or observed in the person’s blog post.  For example:

• Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I really liked …

2.            Comment – Comment on something relevant and meaningful about what the person wrote. Be specific! Remember your comment might not always be agreement. You can “politely” disagree.  For example:   

• I agree with you about …
• I respect your opinion, but I think …

3.            Connect – Connect with something the person wrote (Text-to-Self, Text-to-Text, Text-to-World). Explain your connection with details giving your audience a clear idea of what you’re talking about by using sensory details.   For example:

• I can connect with you about …
• I once read a story about …
• I had the same thing happen to me…

4.            Question – Ask a specific question about something written or the writer. Keep the conversation going!

Remember that ALL discussions must use the 3CQ approach to interaction.

Find a peer reviewed article pertaining to Blockchain and HR. Write a critical review of the article. Your review should  be at least 3 pages long from introduction to conclusion. Be sure to provide in-text citations when you paraphrase or directly quote from the article. Also include a reference page with an APA style citation of the article. Follow the writing requirements for this course when preparing the paper. Use the following format for the paper:

• No abbreviations, no contractions – write formally
• Write in the third person formal voice (no first or second person pronouns)
• Write MORE than the minimum requirement of the word count assigned
• As always, the word count is ONLY for the BODY of the paper – the cover page, reference page, and / or Appendix (if included) do not count towards the word count for the paper 
• Indent the first line of each new paragraph five spaces
• Refer to the example APA paper in the getting started folder under the content tab if you need an example. Also, a Power Point is provided under the information tab that addresses APA format.
• Use double-spacing / zero point line spacing, a running header, page numbers, and left justify the margins.

Write a 7-8-page  (of content not including the abstract, title, or reference pages) APA formatted paper on a business problem that requires data mining, why the problem is interesting, the general approach you plan to take, what kind of data you plan to use, and finally how you plan to get the data. You should describe your problem, approach, dataset, data analysis, evaluation, discussion, references, and so on, in sufficient details, and you need to show supporting evidence in tables and/or figures. You need to provide captions for all tables and figures. Please be sure to provide the title of the paper, and then note the business problem that requires data mining, note why the problem is interesting to you as well.  Please be sure to list 3-5 references as well this week.

The United States v. Dioguardi

428 F.2d 1033, 1038 (C.A.N.Y. 1970).

At least, a minimum standard of trustworthiness must be established to eliminate the theory of accuracy, the integrity of computer used to generate evidence, and the admissibility of such records in court. The original contents of free and fair evidence are deep-rooted in writing panache, recording, and photograph required by court standards to ensure that court decisions are based on reliable, and authentic evidence. The advent of photocopiers, scanners, related technology that can be used to create identical acceptable duplicates in place of the original and in the market.  A genuine question on the authenticity of the original and accuracy of a photocopy could be unfair to accept in place of the original. Presenting a copy of digital evidence is usually more desirable because it eliminates the risk that the original copy being unintentionally altered.

A paper printout of a digital document may be considered equivalent to the original unless essential portions of the original are not visible in printed format. Hearsay Digital evidence cannot be admitted in court if the author of the evidence is not present to verify and authenticate the evidence’s integrity. Computers is an electronic device can be programed to store and output information with limited human intervention; hence, the computer system can initiate the hosting, emitting errors and uncertainty in various ways in any location and at any time. Digital evidence is generally a suggestive of human activities; for example, the system clock on a computer can be incorrect, and date-time stamps can be misinterpreted. Furthermore, the source internet protocol (IP) address on network traffic may be assigned to a proxy device rather than the actual originating computer.

Scenario:   A genuine question on the authenticity of the original and accuracy of the photocopy of an evidence could be unfair to admit in place of the original copy.  Furthermore, presenting a photocopy of digital evidence is usually more desirable because it eliminates the risk of original being unintentionally altered. As an organization lead forensic investigator, which of this conclusive evidence will you present in court:

1. Provide a comprehensive narrative on the importance of the original copy of the evidence in court?
2. Provide a comprehensive narrative on the incongruity of a photocopy of evidence in place of the original copy in court?

Prepare an investigative report of the forensics data capture conducted using the tool FTK imager lite.

· Step-by-step description you used to gather data for analysis

· Report on the information that was obtainable from the device

· Graphics evidence that you conducted the forensics data gathering and analysis

The paper should be in a form that would be used for reporting to a court or a law enforcement agency. Be sure to provide graphics evidence of your forensics investigation effort (Screenshots, reports, etc.). References should be in APA format.
