    Competition or Collusion? Game Theory in Security, Sports, and Business A CCICADA Homeland Security Module James Kupetz, Luzern County Community College [email protected] Choong-Soo Lee, St. Lawrence University [email protected] Steve Leonhardi, Winona State University [email protected] 1/90 Competition or Collusion? Game Theory in Security, Sports, and Business Note to teachers: Teacher notes appear in dark red in the module, allowing faculty to pull these notes off the teacher version to create a student version of the module. Module Summary This module introduces students to game theory concepts and methods, starting with zero-sum games and then moving on to non-zero-sum games. Students learn techniques for classifying games, for computing optimal solutions where known, and for analyzing various strategies for games in which no optimal solution exists. Finally, students have the opportunity to transfer what they’ve learned to new game-theoretic situations. Prerequisites Students should be able to use the skills learned in High School Algebra 1, including the ability to graph linear equations, find points of intersection, and algebraically solve systems of two linear equations in two unknowns. Knowledge of basic probability (such as should be learned by the end of 9th grade) is also required; experience with computing expected value would be helpful, but can be taught as part of the module. No computer programming experience is required or involved, although students with some programming knowledge may be able to adapt their knowledge to optional projects. Suggested Uses This module can be used with students in grades 10-14 in almost any class, but is best suited to students in mathematics, economics, political science, or computer science courses.

Two main themes selected for the materials are(1) contributions of an ethnic group to American life and (2) the relationship of an ethnic group to its homeland. The materials concentrate on the following five topics: early settlement of America, mass immigration, cultural patterns in Europe and USSR, conflicts within the nation, and challenge of an interdependent world. The ways that the themes in the materialscan be integrated into an existing curriculum are listed and matchedto one of the five topics of ethnic studies.

    THE HISTORY of VETERANS DAY - Courtesy of US Department of Veterans’ Affairs

    NOVEMBER 2014 Published by Greene County Department of Human Services since 1976 THE HISTORY OF VETERANS DAY - Courtesy of US Department of Veterans’ Affairs World War I – known at the time as “The Great War” - officially ended when the Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919, in the Palace of Versailles outside the town of Versailles, France. However, fighting ceased seven months earlier when an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, between the Allied nations and Germany went into effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. For that reason, November 11, 1918, is generally regarded as the end of “the war to end all wars.” Soldiers of the 353rd Infantry near a church at Stenay, Meuse in France, wait for the end of hostilities. This photo was taken at 10:58 a.m., on No- vember 11, 1918, two minutes before the armistice ending World War I went into effect In November 1919, President Wilson proclaimed November 11 as the first commemoration of Armistice Day with the following words: "To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and be- cause of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations…" The original concept for the celebration was for a day observed with parades, public meetings and a brief suspension of business beginning at 11:00 a.m.

    Local Charity Celebrates a Sweet Day

    MEDIA RELEASE Local Charity Celebrates a Sweet Day Vancouver, B.C. (June 5) – June 05th marks the sweetest day of the year for The Salvation Army. It’s been over 100 years since our volunteers courageously served soldiers on the frontlines of the First World War. National Doughnut Day was established in 1938 to honour and recognize their bravery, as well as the bravery of our veterans. The celebration looks a bit different this year – to keep everyone safe, we are delivering Virtual Doughnuts to our community partners, and sharing our age-old recipe on Facebook at thesalvationarmybcdivision, so you can bake them at home with your family. “We don’t want people to forget the sacrifices made by our veterans,” says spokesperson Mike Leland. “National Doughnut Day is a reminder that they have made and continue to make a commitment to protect us each and every day.” This special day has an even larger significance this year, with the thousands and thousands of essential workers serving on the frontlines during the COVID-19 pandemic. We thank you too for your service and commitment. -30- About The Salvation Army: The Army is an international Christian organization that began its work in Canada in 1882 and has grown to become one of the largest providers of social services in the country. In over 56 communities in B.C. and 400 communities across Canada, we share the love of Jesus Christ, provide practical, compassionate support to meet basic human needs and work to be a transforming influence in the communities of our world.

    2021 PITCH CALENDAR for Entrepreneurs

    The 2021 PITCH CALENDAR for Entrepreneurs 1 Hello, 2021! Securing media coverage can be intimidating when you’re first starting out. Let’s be honest — even if you’ve already received some coverage in the past, it can still be intimidating! But I’m about to give you my #1 Secret to Success! Plan, plan, plan! The more planning you can do in the early days of your media strategy, the more effective and streamlined the rest of the process will go. Work smarter, not harder, my friends! Having a basic understanding of the “news cycle” is a great place to start. This means, understanding the topics and themes the media will be tackling and when. Also consider the “lead time” needed for each outlet you’re pitching to. Radio, local TV and online publications generally have a shorter lead time (1-2 months) vs. print media and major TV networks that have a longer lead time (upwards of 6 months). Planning your content ahead of time will put you in a better position to pitch in an effective and timely manner. So if you haven’t started your planning yet — it starts right now! I’m providing you with a month-by-month breakdown of themes, observances and important dates for you to start planning your pitching around! 2 JANUARY 2021 FEBRUARY 2021 HOLIDAYS & OBSERVANCES HOLIDAYS & OBSERVANCES January 1: New Year’s Day February: Black History Month January 6-7: Orthodox Christmas February 2: Groundhog Day January 14: Orthodox New Year February 12: Chinese New Year February 14: Valentine’s Day CELEBRATION DAYS February 15: National Flag of Canada Day February
