Advanced Queries
The purpose of this assignment is to conduct advanced queries for the creation of separate reports.For this assignment, continue to play the role of the data analyst for Adventure Works Cycling Company. Your manager has asked you to localize query results into a temporary table to avoid running the same queries repeatedly and to better track the data. This will also free up network resources for the company. Saving queries is of the utmost importance since temporary tables are lost when you disconnect from the server. Failing to save a query will result in the need to rebuild the code for the temporary table.Using the queries completed in the Topic 4 assignment, complete the steps below and address the questions.Please note that when SQL queries are run, results are generated in the form of data. This data should be exported and saved to Excel for a visual check of accuracy.Create a Microsoft Word document that includes the SQL query code used to explore the database tables and answer the following questions.Create a basic temporary table from work done in Topic 4, question 5 and call it "MyTempTable." Write a SELECT statement to query the new data.Order the results on MyTempTable by SalesOrderID.Add a timestamp field called "DateRan" and update it to the current date.Explain how to drop the table and start over.Explain how the table can be re-added?Compile the Excel data file and Word document containing the SQL queries and answers to the questions into a .zip file and submit to your instructor.APA style is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

Ohio State University Challenges Brought by Urbanization Discussion Responses
discuss the challenges presented by urbanism and sprawl and giving some examples. Also to discuss four of the specific CPTED design strategies as they relate to schools as outlined by Atlas (2008).
New Urbanism is a movement focusing on architectural and planning that aims to create new towns and neighborhoods using traditional town design principles. One of the purposes of this urbanism concept is to solve past and current problems of modern suburbia and sprawl. It also focuses on establishing these newer communities to be more on a human scale. This can be done by establishing and instituting the use of codes that will be able to control vehicle traffic, zoning and requirements, population density, and other elements that could help. Not all academics and policymakers agree with the New Urbanism concepts though. Many believe that this makes it harder to traverse a neighborhood and can be confusing for outsiders (postal workers, deliveries, etc.); they believe that it is a step backward especially the way today’s society, technology, and populations have grown. A few examples that come to mind of New Urbanism type neighborhoods are those of European towns and the French Quarter of New Orleans, Louisiana. Other examples of New Urbanism concepts are those of large cities such as New York City, Pittsburgh, and others like them in the downtown areas. The streets are narrow, a lot of times there will be a lot of one-way streets as well, most everything is within a 10 minute walk or so such as transit stops, markets, restaurants/eatery’s, schools, parks, and other areas. (Atlas R. I., 2008)
Sprawl is the concept of living space expanding into suburban areas of cities or otherwise known as metropolitan areas. Sprawling cities or suburban sprawl are those that are much more of today’s type in the US, things are more spread apart, crime rates are said to be higher than those using New Urbanism. This type can also be confusing because the neighborhoods and cities are larger, but it makes it easier for deliveries, mail routes, lower crime for the most part, GPS makes it easier to find locations with today’s technological advances. An example of this would be my hometown of Belton, MO. When we moved there in 1986 from Seattle, it was just a small town on the southern edge of metropolitan Kansas City, MO. A lot of farms and fields of cattle and soy beans. Richard Gebaur Air Force Base (RBAFB) was also there in Belton. So there were Marines, Navy, and Air Force families and retirees that lived there due to the Marine Corps Finance Center being in South KC area before it moved onto RBAFB in the late 90s and then a Naval Air Station in Western KC, Kansas. However, the farmers started selling their lands to be developed into housing developments, shopping centers, restaurants etc. because crime in KC area was getting worse with the gangs and people moving out of it to the outskirts of the metro areas. Now everywhere I used to see fields and crops I see big box stores, large chain restaurants, movie theaters, etc.
Keeping our schools and children safe is a very important task, our children are our future. With all of the school shootings, stabbings, and other violence happening these days it has become an even more so important issue. By designing our schools using CPTED we can make choices for the circulation of students and faculty for how they move and are protected while moving throughout their hallways, corridors, and other areas outside while limiting and restricting access to other places during specific times as well. CPTED has 20 different design strategies for schools to make them safer and more secure, however we will only be discussing four of them in this forum. (Atlas & Schneider, 2008)
Observation of Vehicular Traffic is important just like it is for pedestrian traffic. If a school as security or guards then they should have ways to monitor physically or electronically all entries and exits to school grounds by way of roads. Administrative offices should also have clear lines of sight to the parking lots and roadways where they are located. This will ensure that no one is able to enter the school grounds without being seen by one way or another. Windows should also be free of clutter such as signage, posters, etc. so that lines of sight are not obstructed. (Atlas & Schneider, 2008)
Main Entry Security is not more important than any other security entry points, but this is usually the point where most students, visitors, and faculty will usually enter through so security is a definite must here. The use of walk through metal detectors or wands, checking of backpacks, purses, and other types of bags being carried in can also keep everyone safe. There should also be a school map inside and signage so that students and visitors know where to go and lowers the risk of visitors especially from getting lost or into areas that they should not be. Having too many entries into the school can make for easier ambushes and other avenues for weapons to be brought into the facility. (Atlas & Schneider, 2008)
Courtyards and Gathering Places should be well marked and defined. They should also be marked with signs as to when and when loitering and gathering is not allowed. They should be well lit, accessible, and able to be surveilled by faculty and security at all times when being designed or upgraded. There also needs to be legitimate and designated areas for sports to be played or practiced and should be equally safeguarded from threats. (Atlas & Schneider, 2008)
Communication Systems are a must in safety and security of a school. Intercoms, phones, CCTV systems, duress alarms, and fire alarms just to start need to be integrated throughout the entire school. These items need to be checked and maintained regularly to keep the equipment operable and up-to-date. Sometimes money and funding will be a big issue with trying to obtain these types of security measures, but some are actually required by law. Panic/Duress buttons should be placed in every classroom, locker room, gym, restrooms, and other isolated areas. (Atlas & Schneider, 2008)

According to Fulton, New Urbanism is based on principles of “walkable neighborhoods oriented to the quarter-mile, five-minute walk, primary orientation to public transit systems, rather than private automobiles, and greater integration of different land uses (such as housing, shops, workplaces and schools) at the neighborhood level” (1996, p. 5). Challenges with urbanism are that it directly conflicts with CPTED strategies in that non-resident's trespass and have access to neighborhoods that have mixed uses. Fulton (2006, p. 3) defines sprawl as "low-density, land consumptive patterns in conventional auto-oriented suburbs." Atlas (2006) describes the challenges with sprawling suburbs that are said to have confusing streets, random cul-de-sacs, and single-use zoning with single-family residences.
Atlas (2006) provides several specific design strategies for schools that incorporate CPTED. One design strategy is the observation of recreational areas. Because most schools do not have their fields or playgrounds fenced in, it opens the school to premises liability as neighborhood kids may find their way onto the unsupervised playground and injure themselves. These areas should be secured with fencing or placed in the center of the school like a courtyard area that’s only accessible through the inside of the school.
Another design strategy is surveillance points, both internal and external, which uses the concept of natural surveillance to observe the area. On the exterior, landscaping should be carefully placed so as to not pose a maintenance or safety issue and allow for blind spots, hiding, or ambushing. On the interior, using stairwells to view potential problem areas ensures that many people will be observed at any given time.
A third design strategy is the use of traffic calming and signage. Parking lots should be designed with no long runs to prevent speeding. If long runs are unavoidable, speed bumps should be installed to slow traffic in pedestrian areas. Bus areas should not interfere with other traffic. Signage should reflect the intended and prohibited use of the public and private areas on the exterior.
Main entry security is another design strategy discussed by Atlas. Entryways should be strategic, designated, and obvious. There should be a clearly marked entrance for visitors with signage directing them to the proper area to check-in. Having the main office located near the front entrance provides the staff to view everyone who enters the building. Having visitors enter the building without an escort and navigating their way to the office at the center or rear of the building provides visitors with the opportunity to access restricted areas. Schools are often limited in budget and rely heavily on procedures versus technology. Having a clear and concise visitor policy that is posted at the visitors' entrance can eliminate confusion and set expectations.

If you could go back in time and serve on the National Security Council staff of the President what changes would you recommend either President Bush make to his 2003 National Strategy for Combating Terrorism or President Obama make to his 2011 National Strategy for Counter Terrorism?
If I could go back to 2003 and be a member of President Bush’s National Security Council I would recommend that he effectively plan for the power vacuum that taking the fight to al-Qaeda would create. I would even suggest leaving Saddam in power. I know this stance may not be popular but Under Saddam there was a degree of stability in the region. He ruled with an iron fist but with that iron fist he was able to keep the Sunnis and Shias in a peaceful coexistence. He kept Iran in check as they did not want to stir ire in the violent dictator. Yes he committed terrible acts against his people but he also kept a very unstable area of the world relatively stable. One has to look no further than the region without him in power. Iraq is a dumpster fire, ISIS has committed all levels of atrocities that make even Saddam look like a pillar for human rights (please don’t take that literally), and assignation after assignation has taken out would be political leaders over the last decade. I would double down on leaving Saddam in power and focusing on a clear and defined victory and withdrawal in Afghanistan.
What measures or metrics do you think would be most effective in determining if a counter terrorism strategy is appropriate and working?
In order to determine the measures and metric effectiveness we must first determine what measurable metrics can be applied to determining the effectiveness of a counter terrorism strategy. Metrics that we can measure with quantifiable information would be recruitment numbers, terrorist activity to include attacks, and financial strength. Utilizing measurable in each of the previously listed categories such as $136 million frozen or seized” and “3000 terrorist operative around the world incapacitated since 9/11 (Hindle, 2009)” make it seem at least on the surface that progress is being made. Measuring other nation’s contributions is another metric that can be used to determine the effectiveness of our terrorism strategy (Pisoiu, 2011). Statements like “before 9/11, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia were not taking active measures to combat support to terrorists Today, they stand with the United States as key allies in opposition to terrorism (Hindle, 2009).” Make the war on terror appear to be a multinational effort in which America has allies in the region who are adding pressure to terrorist originations ability to operate freely in the region. This heads on a post approach to reporting does not effectively capture the entire picture when it comes to terror and should not be viewed as the end all be all. A few trophy victories though important should not be the only measure of success or failure in the continued confrontation of terrorist networks. How much progress or lack thereof has been made in reaching the intended endgame? That is the true measure of our effectiveness in countering global terrorist organizations.

This week we are asked a question which is highly debated to this day. Both President Bush and President Obama had to make some hard decision concerning terrorism. Now a person must understand that the events of 9/11 rocked our world and caused the formation of the 2003 National Strategy for Combating Terrorism very quickly. The country wanted an answer and a plan to put it simply get back the terrorist that hurt our country and this strategy was a big part of that answer. Now our answered reading talks about this international terrorism was so different and how we needed to approach it differently. “The struggle against international terrorism is different from any other war in our history. We will not triumph solely or even primarily through military might. We must fight terrorist networks, and all those who support their efforts to spread fear around the world, using every instrument of national power diplomatic, economic, law enforcement, financial, information, intelligence, and military” (Bush, 2003). Now the key concept I want to pull out of this is the around the world part. Yes, it is great that we are the so-called big brother of the world, but this is expensive. The United States is spread out across the world trying to protect and prevent this fear. But I believe that some places it isn’t needed and nor wanted. Some of these countries just want to be left alone and allowed to govern themselves. Now one of the main things I would change is for this strategy is its issue with approaching WMDs. It seems to me that this strategies reason for doing want they do right or wrong is the preventing of WMDs. If there is a hint of WMDs we will get involved and like many people say did Saddem Hussein really have them.
The 2011 National Strategy for Counterterrorism was our nation’s overview of our approach to counterterrorism. Now overall this was a well written and thoughtful plan but there are a few things that I think need to be addressed. First it mainly just talks about Al-Qaeda as the terrorist threat. There are many other threats which need to be addressed in order to have an effective counterterrorism plan. Another thing to mention is how it speaks about values. Our countries values might not be the same as others and wont work for them. This is a concern because we must work with these other countries who do not have the same values. The final thing to mention comes to how the average citizen helps to fight terrorism. To fight terrorism every citizen needs to have a role in order to win the fight. This counterterrorism strategy forgets to mention that, and I believe that it needs to be added.
One of the hardest things to do for any kind of strategy is figuring our or measuring the effectiveness of it. Now when it comes to measuring a counter terrorism strategy the first thing that I think that works is stats. I think gather stats comparing current events to past events will allow you to see if it is working. Another thing is simply asking the boots on ground if what is happening working. This information needs to be obtained from the bottom-line employee not the head supervisor. So, this take a person to get out in the field and truly if want is going on is working. This information can also be gathered from a survey which involves the employees, host country and intel agencies.

discuss the challenges presented by urbanism and sprawl and giving some examples. Also to discuss four of the specific CPTED design strategies as they relate to schools as outlined by Atlas (2008).

If you could go back in time and serve on the National Security Council staff of the President what changes would you recommend either President Bush make to his 2003 National Strategy for Combating Terrorism or President Obama make to his 2011 National Strategy for Counter Terrorism?
If I could go back to 2003 and be a member of President Bush’s National Security Council I would recommend that he effectively plan for the power vacuum that taking the fight to al-Qaeda would create. I would even suggest leaving Saddam in power. I know this stance may not be popular but Under Saddam there was a degree of stability in the region. He ruled with an iron fist but with that iron fist he was able to keep the Sunnis and Shias in a peaceful coexistence. He kept Iran in check as they did not want to stir ire in the violent dictator. Yes he committed terrible acts against his people but he also kept a very unstable area of the world relatively stable. One has to look no further than the region without him in power. Iraq is a dumpster fire, ISIS has committed all levels of atrocities that make even Saddam look like a pillar for human rights (please don’t take that literally), and assignation after assignation has taken out would be political leaders over the last decade. I would double down on leaving Saddam in power and focusing on a clear and defined victory and withdrawal in Afghanistan.
What measures or metrics do you think would be most effective in determining if a counter terrorism strategy is appropriate and working?
In order to determine the measures and metric effectiveness we must first determine what measurable metrics can be applied to determining the effectiveness of a counter terrorism strategy. Metrics that we can measure with quantifiable information would be recruitment numbers, terrorist activity to include attacks, and financial strength. Utilizing measurable in each of the previously listed categories such as $136 million frozen or seized” and “3000 terrorist operative around the world incapacitated since 9/11 (Hindle, 2009)” make it seem at least on the surface that progress is being made. Measuring other nation’s contributions is another metric that can be used to determine the effectiveness of our terrorism strategy (Pisoiu, 2011). Statements like “before 9/11, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia were not taking active measures to combat support to terrorists Today, they stand with the United States as key allies in opposition to terrorism (Hindle, 2009).” Make the war on terror appear to be a multinational effort in which America has allies in the region who are adding pressure to terrorist originations ability to operate freely in the region. This heads on a post approach to reporting does not effectively capture the entire picture when it comes to terror and should not be viewed as the end all be all. A few trophy victories though important should not be the only measure of success or failure in the continued confrontation of terrorist networks. How much progress or lack thereof has been made in reaching the intended endgame? That is the true measure of our effectiveness in countering global terrorist organizations.

This week we are asked a question which is highly debated to this day. Both President Bush and President Obama had to make some hard decision concerning terrorism. Now a person must understand that the events of 9/11 rocked our world and caused the formation of the 2003 National Strategy for Combating Terrorism very quickly. The country wanted an answer and a plan to put it simply get back the terrorist that hurt our country and this strategy was a big part of that answer. Now our answered reading talks about this international terrorism was so different and how we needed to approach it differently. “The struggle against international terrorism is different from any other war in our history. We will not triumph solely or even primarily through military might. We must fight terrorist networks, and all those who support their efforts to spread fear around the world, using every instrument of national power diplomatic, economic, law enforcement, financial, information, intelligence, and military” (Bush, 2003). Now the key concept I want to pull out of this is the around the world part. Yes, it is great that we are the so-called big brother of the world, but this is expensive. The United States is spread out across the world trying to protect and prevent this fear. But I believe that some places it isn’t needed and nor wanted. Some of these countries just want to be left alone and allowed to govern themselves. Now one of the main things I would change is for this strategy is its issue with approaching WMDs. It seems to me that this strategies reason for doing want they do right or wrong is the preventing of WMDs. If there is a hint of WMDs we will get involved and like many people say did Saddem Hussein really have them.
The 2011 National Strategy for Counterterrorism was our nation’s overview of our approach to counterterrorism. Now overall this was a well written and thoughtful plan but there are a few things that I think need to be addressed. First it mainly just talks about Al-Qaeda as the terrorist threat. There are many other threats which need to be addressed in order to have an effective counterterrorism plan. Another thing to mention is how it speaks about values. Our countries values might not be the same as others and wont work for them. This is a concern because we must work with these other countries who do not have the same values. The final thing to mention comes to how the average citizen helps to fight terrorism. To fight terrorism every citizen needs to have a role in order to win the fight. This counterterrorism strategy forgets to mention that, and I believe that it needs to be added.
One of the hardest things to do for any kind of strategy is figuring our or measuring the effectiveness of it. Now when it comes to measuring a counter terrorism strategy the first thing that I think that works is stats. I think gather stats comparing current events to past events will allow you to see if it is working. Another thing is simply asking the boots on ground if what is happening working. This information needs to be obtained from the bottom-line employee not the head supervisor. So, this take a person to get out in the field and truly if want is going on is working. This information can also be gathered from a survey which involves the employees, host country and intel agencies.
