Systematic Risk – Insecurity arising from daily operating activities, such as product delivery and oil drilling; as well as its financing activities, such as issuance of bonds and shares. Price Risk – Uncertainty about future profits and losses occurring from selling un-hedged oil & gas in the market. Hedging Risk – The Chance of foregoing any additional profits if prices were to increase dramatically under the collar strategy. Political Risk – Uncertainty stemming from investing internationally and the associated foreign policies in different countries. 2. When prices are up the firm has a higher income therefore will have larger cash flows directed towards investing and operating activities. However, when prices are down, the company tends to report lower (even negative) net income and have smaller cash flows going into operating and investing activities. Financing activities were kept fairly stable due to the required debt-to-capital ratio to keep good credit so cash flows had little effect on the financing activities. In addition, price fluctuations can also affect the amount of taxes Apache has to pay. Since when prices are low, the firm is able to defer its taxes whereas when their high, Apache has to pay up. Operating activities are affected when oil and gas prices fluctuate. Apache wishes to produce and sell as...

There was also not enough emphasis on project management. They even assign trainees to perform project coordination and failed miserably. The in 2007, the board of directors of Apache appointed a new senior management team to reform their project management. PM managers were added through recruitment efforts and close examination of existing personnel, and emphasis on individual with good people with communication skills.

These steps seem to be useful for the company approach excellence in the future. There are some...

...The Cocopah Indian Tribe is one of the numerous Native American tribes of Arizona that is continuously active. Its strong sense of culture and participation in its surrounding civilization has helped it thrive as one of the most well known tribes still in existence. The Cocopah’s extensive history as an early Yuman community and its current cultural influence in Arizona make it acknowledged as both an intriguing tribe and major source of the state’s ethnic identity. The Cocopah Indian Tribe of Arizona, otherwise called “the River People,” originated in lands along the Colorado River and Lower Colorado River as one of the several descendant tribes of the Yuman-speaking people (“About Us”). The name “Cocopah” derives from the tribe’s name for itself, which in the Cocopah language is “Kokwapa” (“Facts For Kids”). The tribe was originally and still is located throughout the Colorado River Basin in Arizona, the southernmost part of Baja California, and the northern border of Mexico (“Facts For Kids”). The time during which the Cocopah Tribe was formed cannot be very accurately determined, mainly due to the fact that its people had no written language. However, Spanish explorer Hernando de Alarcon’s expedition through the Colorado River region in 1540 is one of the first recorded sightings of the tribe’s existence (“About Us”). He along with other explorers who interacted with these people can be credited with collecting the information currently known about the beginnings of the tribe...

...history speaks about the Apache, they almost always refer to the warriors and leaders, Geronimo, Cochise and Mangas Colorado. There is much more to the Apache history that affects the land and culture in contemporary times. Whether referred to as a murderous renegades by the United States Army or as a heroic warriors by the Bedonkohe and the Chiricahua Apaches, they are unwilling to compromise the land they love. They did whatever was necessary to defend their interest, even if at times and it put them at odds with the Spaniards, Mexicans, the United States and ultimately other tribes. Geronimo has been given many descriptions but was mostly known for his guerilla warfare that kept a quarter of the United States occupied with a band...

...Choctaw (alternatively spelled Chahta, Chactas, Tchakta, Chocktaw, and Chactaw) are Native American people originally from the Southeastern United States (Oklahoma, California, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas,Alabama). The Choctaw language belongs to the Muskogean linguistic group. Henry Halbert, a historian, suggests that their name is derived from the Choctaw phrase Hacha hatak(river people). (“Choctaw,” n.d.) Choktaw is the approved, anglicized form of the tribal name Chahta (Chäh’ta).It seems to have been first applied to the tribe about the beginning of eighteenth century and is found spelled in a number of different ways in historical records. It has been suggested that the name Choctaw is from the Spanish word chato, meaning "flat," descriptive of the ancient tribal custom of flattening the forehead of male infants. (Wright, Muriel H..; A Guide to the Indian Tribes of Oklahoma) In the 19th century the Choctaw and the United States (US) agreed to nine treaties and, by the last three, the US gained vast land cessions and deracinated most Choctaw west of the Mississippi River to Indian Territory. They were the first Native Americans forced under the Indian Removal Act. Many place names in the Southeast all the way to the Atlantic Coast are undoubtedly of Choctaw origin. In Oklahoma, the Choctaw are one of the Five Civilized Tribes and have been associated in history with the Chickasaw, a closely related tribe. (“Choctaw,” n.d.) Those Choctaw who removed to the Indian Territory...

...Apache Indians The Apache Indian tribes have gone thru many changes thru the years. Most every area of their lives have been affected and changed. How, when, and where they live has changed a lot over the years. In the past, their ways were the very set, and the same for many years. Now like most Americans, their ways have changed, they are not as structured, and they have changes frequently. Many Apache Indians now live in the Midwest. They live in Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas, but they did not always live there. Some of the Apache Indians have had to move across the border into New Mexico. The Plains Apache Indians live in what is now Oklahoma, but their traditions are different from the other tribes. Many Plains Apaches got captured by the other Apache Indians tribes. The Apache Indian population today is about 30,000 Indians. Currently, there are 13 different Apache tribes in the U.S, in 5 different states.

...citizens killed and their horses stolen y Geronimo’s hostiles (Winning the West, n.d). It is no wonder that he was deceived by Geronimo that he (Geronimo) would surrender, only to bolt out of their encampment and flee back into Mexico. Therefore, Cook’s continued pursuit of Geronimo would only result in a cat and mouse game where most of troops and civilians would have lost their lives through attack and counter-attack. Crook’s failure had severe consequences on the relationship between the two states. Many civilians had lost their lives through raids and counter-attacks. Besides, the Mexican troops mistaken Apache scouts for hostiles and opened fire on them, mortally injuring most of them, including Captain Crawford. On the other hand, his successor-Nelson Miles- used a more strategic approach in pursuing and capturing Geronimo. He reorganized the department and dismissed the apache scouts, strategically positioning his troops at waterholes and mountain peaks (pbs.org, n.d). Miles used propaganda to convince Geronimo that he had captured most of his close friends, relatives and family members and that they were already stationed in Florida awaiting him (Geronimo) for a verdict by the president of the United States. Geronimo was quite shaken by this information and decided to give in...

...Secure File Storage Server First World Bank Savings and Loan has a need to deliver highly confidential customer data in PDF format for online customers. This can be done by uploading data to a Linux file server by bank employees within the LAN. This however is inaccessible for customers. First World Bank Savings and Loan has created a plan to make a secure web server so clients can access the data. In order to do this, we will set up a separate Linux virtual machine that will be running SFTP service that only works with a SSH connection. In order to connect with a SSH connection, users have to pre-authenticate through the web server and traffic needs to be forwarded from that web server to the SFTP server. The SFTP server will then take off the SSH “shell” and be able to read the SFTP traffic. In order to do this, we will implement MySecureShell software that will be installed on an Ubuntu release server. According to http://xmodulo.com/, MySecureShell is an OpenSSH server system that: •Limit per-connection download/upload bandwidth •Limit the number of concurrent connections per account •Hide file and directory owner/group/rights •Hide files and directories which user has no access to •Limit the life time of a connection •Chroot SFTP user into his/her home directory Secure Web and Database Servers Based on what is being asked I am recommending a database and Web server architecture along with this there will be explanations as to how they are secure and...

... Long ago lived Cosimia, a young girl from the Sand Creek Tribe. Cosimia was said to be that of the universe. The Sand Creek Tribe worshipped her. It was like she had the upmost control. But of course, Cosimia's father, Crow Belly, was chief of the tribe and did not feel the same as the rest of their people. Cosimia's mother, Anika, had passed only a week after Cosimia's birth. Anika wanted nothing more than for Cosimia to be aside a noble chief when she grew up. She wanted Cosimia to have everything. Crow Belly did not want his daughter to even show her face. He blamed Cosimia for her mother's death and he has never felt the same after her passing. Each and every night Cosimia ran away from the tribe to a creek. She sat on a tree that barely hung over the creek. It was, as Cosimia called it, her hideaway. She sat upon the tree praying to the brilliant stars. She believed there was a sky god. One that looked down on her and gave her anything she requested. Cosimia prayed of forgiveness from her father. She prayed for an handsome Indian boy to cross her path one day. This time away from her father made Cosimia feel like she could do something right for once. Crow Belly would always wonder where Cosimia ran off to every night, but never cared enough to ask. He almost wished she never returned. Crow Belly was almost jealous that his daughter received more praise than he did. He thought he was a great chief and did everything in his power to keep the tribe in order. But...
