A bug was discovered in Canvas where the website crashes if 2 or more students are writing a discussion post at the same time. It's the weekend and Canvas support is unavailable. The entire class needs to submit a discussion post but the system keeps crashing. Use your creativity and implement a system that ensures only one student is writing a discussion post at any given time. Describe in detail which tools, communication methods, and safeguards are used to ensure the following:

Guarantee mutual exclusion: Only one student may be writing in canvas at any given time.
Prevent lockout: A student not attempting to write a post must not prevent other students from writing a post.
Prevent starvation: A student must not be able to repeatedly come back and edit their post while other students are waiting to write.
Prevent deadlock: Multiple students trying to write a post at the same time must not block each other indefinitely.

3. ranga ramasesh is the operations manager for a firm that is trying to decide which one of four countries it should research for possible outsourcing providers. the first step is to select a country based on cultural risk factors, which are critical to eventual business success with the provider. ranga has reviewed outsourcing provider directories and found that the four countries in the table that follows have an ample number of providers from which they can choose. to aid in the country selection step, he has enlisted the aid of a cultural expert, john wang, who has provided ratings of the various criteria in the table. the resulting ratings are on a 1 to 10 scale, where 1 is a low risk and 10 is a high risk. john has also determined six criteria weightins: trust, with a weight of 0.3; quality, with 0.2; religious, with 0.1; individualism, with 0.2; time, with 0.1; and uncertainity, with 0.1. using the factor-rating method, which country should ranga select? why?
