...To create an effective multi-layer security plan, all seven of the domains of the IT infrastructure must be addressed. An improvement on each of the domains will help to fight against an attacker. For this part of the project we will address five of the domains. Probably the best place to start beefing up security is with the user domain. Most attacks on security are from users. You cannot allow users to have simple passwords. A complex password is paramount to defending the user domain. A complex password is at least eight characters, uses a mix of upper and lower case letters, and contains special characters such as an @ or $. Passwords need to be changed regularly as well. They should be change every so many months and users should not be able to use a password twice in a year. In the LAN domain we need to protect against malicious emails. Users should know better than to open suspect emails at work, but a reminder could not hurt. Spam filters are extremely important so that user do not get as many suspect emails. In the workstation domain we need to make sure our workstations are protected. Internet security or at least antivirus should be used an all workstations. It seems like a no brainer in this day and age, but we still need to ensure it is implemented. Another way to secure our workstations is to encrypt the hard drives. We should also deactivate all media ports. In the WAN domain we need to set up firewalls. The firewalls we block things our company does not want...

...Stand Your Ground To Be Denied In the United States there are an outstanding amount of violent crimes and incidents that involve different self-defense laws. In recent days Massachusetts law makers are discussing the adoption of the extension castle doctrine, the ‘stand your ground’ law. This is because there is a growing average amount of questionable and justifiable crimes happening on the streets. The “stand your ground“ law allows an individual to protect him or herself with self defense if they feel their life is at stake or going to be subjected to serious bodily harm. With many positives and negatives to this law it should not be passed in Massachusetts and be removed from all states where this law exists. The ‘Stand Your Ground’ law promotes vigilantes to conjure up crimes through loopholes, allows people to commit crimes based off of prejudicial profiling, and is misunderstood and used improperly so law enforcers don’t know when to act on the law and when to enforce it. As it stands now there are twenty four states in the United States that hold the 'stand your ground' law in which each state has its own definition. With the recent case Florida vs. Zimmerman in Florida, where Zimmerman killed a boy Martin without good reason, the law is being questioned on its definition and misuse. Currently Florida statutes chapter 776 defines justifiable use of force. In the subset .012 it states a person is allowed to use force, except deadly force, against another person when...

...Composition 2 9/21/2014 Minimum wage in Ohio ranges from $7.25 to $7.95 Some of the top reasons a employee wants to leave their job is because it is not enough pay for the work they got to put in or it is because they do not have a chance to move up in the company if we increase a employees pay rate it would give them motivation to want to stay at their job and work harder to not try to lose their job. The problem with staying at a company forever is you start with a base salary and usually annual raises are based on a percentage of your current salary. There is often a limit to how high your manager can bump you up since it’s based on a percentage of your current salary. However, if you move to another company, you start fresh and can usually command a higher base salary to hire you. Companies competing for talent are often not afraid to pay more when hiring if it means they can hire the best talent. Same thing applies for titles. Some companies have a limit to how many promotions they allow each year. Once you are entrenched in a company, it may become more difficult to be promoted as you may be waiting in line behind others who should have been promoted a year ago but were not due to the limit. However, if you apply to another company, your skills may match the higher title, and that company will hire you with the new title. So stating people off with the increase pay rate will make them feel like they are all equal and will not make them feel like they got to wait to...

...using stolen social security numbers of legal citizens or the deceased. In the end, this will cause citizens to have to pay more. Did you know that as American taxpayers we pay over $113 million a year for illegal immigrants? The dream act should not be a law that should pass for the reasons following. Claim 1: Taxes The extra money that we will need for these children of the illegal immigrants to go to the schools will increase our taxes. The 113 million dollars has to come from somewhere and we are not going to pay out of pocket for it. The immigrants who are legal with stolen identification all of that money is paid somewhere by someone and in the end it is all of the legal citizens that pay for it with higher taxes.

It will give the reader's my three main points I am trying to explain to them. My research strategy is to talk to people who have a mental illness and get there thoughts and ideas on mental illness.

...Introduction to Speech M/W 1:30 Listening Activity Paper 4/27/2015 First allow me to say that I was truly dreading this assignment. I thought to myself, “How am I going to devote 12 hours of any given day to this?” I am just so busy. However, I learned a lot in a short period of time about myself. I realize I was wrong about myself. I truly thought that I was, at all times, a kind and gracious listener. God knows I have preached to my children enough about how important it is to really listen to people. Now I wonder if they take me seriously when I say that. I did not realize how focused I get about our structure and routine. Being a single mom with two honor roll students who are very involved requires structure. I did not realize that when I am in that zone I am literally tuning them out and dismissing what they are expressing to me. This must make them feel pretty unimportant. It also begs the question, will they feel justified tuning me out. I am not aggravated when I am focused on getting things done but I fear I come across that way in my direct and impersonal responses and lack of listening. I also did not realize that I was prioritizing listening to one child over the other according to the time I have with each. I have literally subconsciously been scheduling time to listen to each of them. That means that if the Sienna feels it is important to tell me something during Aidan’s primary time in the car, I may or may not dismiss her. How awful...

...Paul Fisher Analysis 1.1 I will be conducting a rhetorical analysis for the article “'Iron' vs. 'Steel': Who'll be the 'Man' this summer? “. Who would you choose from the Genius, billionaire, playboy, and philanthropist or a newspaper editor from the Daily News? If you can’t choose from those then how about Iron Man vs Man of Steel? Marvel movies have and will be the biggest movies ever made and DC movies are following in the shadows of Marvels Success. I know that man of steel movie didn't do better than any Iron Man movies in the box office because Marvel has great Movies already in its pockets. My evaluation of the target audience for this article happens to be toward young adults and older that are interested in movie income. To be most specific it would also go to the people that have a big fan base towards Marvel or DC. This article hits many clues towards its audience. First of all the Marvel and DC fan base, by including the names of Tony Stark and Clark Kent. These two names are very well known in the comic and movies since late due to movies and comics. The article also includes the amount that both moves made when it hit box office.

...Chris Johns What made me interested in reading the article was the reader pointing out that the public service waring Drink, Drive, Lose isn’t really working nowadays and most states are going to a new program called 24/7 Sobriety. This new program should make sure that people who drink and drive really think about the consequences to their actions and that most states are not playing anymore. I think this article was written for people who have a problem with drinking and driving and for the people who are angry that people who drink and drive are not being properly punished. This article should reassure people that some states are working towards making sure that the punishment fits the crime. If you drink and drive the punishment will be swift and sure of, instead of just a slap on the wrist. The purpose of this article is to show that some states are serious about the consequences of drinking and driving. If you keep on drinking and driving and risking people’s life you will do jail time. You may also lose your job, your wife, and you will definitely lose money due to court costs and lawyer fees. This information could help us now because it is showing that states are really starting to crack down on drinking and driving. You won’t be able to slip through the cracks anymore. You will be held accountable for your actions. This article left a lot of questions unanswered. A couple of which are who has to pay for the breathalizers, who has to pay for the wristbands, and...

...In the first revision I would have made a note to change the conclusion. I don’t think that the conclusion that was presented at the end of this paper was a good ending to it. I think I would have at least added a little more support to the conclusion to help end it with a bang. When I read this piece of writing I thought that the author could have used more support in his writing. I think I would have to add a little more support as to what made the movie darker than the previous Batman movies, so if the audience hadn’t seen any of those movies, they could hopefully see what I was talking about. I also think that there needs to be a little bit more about how the actors and actresses showed off their acting abilities. Andy kind of leaves it open and leaves the audience wondering what is different about this movie and what makes it so much better than the others in the past. He doesn’t give a lot of detail that I think should have been used to keep the audience drawn in and to help them see why this movie was so great. I also think that I would fix any miss spelling and punctuation errors in this first revision. Now that I have read it once and made some changes, I think here is where I would want to have a peer read my work. Looking over the changes requested in the Appendix D I would have made the misspelling changes and the simple grammar errors without a second though. Making the changes that included double spacing, including a header, and fixing the conclusion are...

...The Gun Debacle, How to Reduce Gun Violence Without Losing Your Rights Gregory Guyer ITT Technical Institute. "Laws that forbid the carrying of arms ... only disarm those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed one." Are Thomas JeffersonThomas JeffersonThomas Jefferson thoughts about gun control during his era who he quoted from an article written by Cesare Bonesana, Marchese Beccaria “essay on crimes and punishments”. (1764) Such remarks from a prominent member of our founding fathers suggest that not only has this debate been going on for a long time but also how important to Americans it is. The second amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America says, “A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a Free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” This must have been thought important by our forefathers to have listed this one second, yet we are on the verge of losing yet another one of our rights as Americans in the name of safety. Will we really be safer, or is it simply a play of political control? According to the National Institute of Justice (2013), there are fewer gun related incidents nationwide than there were in the early 1990’s. Not only do we see fewer actual gun related...

...Eng 1123 27 January 2013 Practice Essay Three New Year’s Resolutions At the beginning of every year people always have resolutions. These resolutions are set to accomplish something to better that person. Most people think they will come easy and usually they don’t achieve them, but if they would dedicate themselves it would surprise them how much easier it would be. A resolution to me is a challenge to better myself in the year. I have three New Year’s resolutions in order to make 2013 a successful year. My first resolution is to maintain my 4.0 grade point average. I worked hard throughout the 2012 fall semester to have a perfect GPA and accomplished it. Now that 2013 is here I plan to keep my grades up. Accomplishing this resolution will be difficult due to nearly sixty baseball games and practices throughout this spring semester, but I will continue to push myself and come out on top. This is my top resolution because it will help me achieve going on to a four year college and aid being successful in life. The second resolution I have is being a starter on the Hinds baseball team. Dedication is the key to accomplishing this task. I have to work hard and be the best I can be every day. Being surrounded by talented players on my team will make this hard to achieve, but I have to prove that I’m the one of the guys that needs to be in the lineup in order to win. This will be difficult, but by pushing myself I know I can succeed in this resolution. My...
