...Indelible Ink Machine, and Internal Control changes that I recommend you make. There are 5 main areas of control that LJB Company needs to address in order to stay in good standings with internal controls. The first internal control is the Establishment of Responsibility; “Control is most effective when only one person is responsible for a given task.”(Kimmel 339) A company should limit one employee to each area to limit the chance of illegal activities. Segregation of duties ties into establishing responsibility by assigning related activities to different employees. Documentation procedures deal with making sure that all transactions and events are documented and monitored. Physical, mechanical, and electronic controls are based on keeping safes, computers and time clocks monitored and restricted. Independent internal verification is used to audit employees and data reconciliation. The last category is called other. This deals with bonding employees who handle cash, and rotating employee duties. Based on the information you gave my colleague and my review of your company, I do not recommend you purchasing an Indelible Ink Machine at this time based on the information which gave to my colleague and my review of your company. This expensive purchase is unnecessary and can easily be avoided if you apply better internal control practices. The implementation of using numbered invoices is a good practice and should continue to be used moving forward. This practice will allow...

...important feature of the organization and has to play an important role in its working. Huge amount of information is transferred everyday and is crucial for the organization. A network crash due to any reason may cause a huge loss to the organization. Also any intrusion in the network may allow somebody to get hold of private and confidential information about the company. Hence, the security of the network is very crucial to the organization and its business. The goals of this security plan are to ensure the complete security of the network. This would include physical security, network security and access control systems. Physical security is about keeping the network equipments safe from being physically damaged, tampered with or from being stolen. Network security is about keeping the information safe over the network while transmission. Access control systems refer to the control systems that would allow a user to access the information, that could be crucial to the organization, or the private information of the organization. These are discussed in detail in the following sections. While discussing the security of the network, we make some assumptions. The security employees or the security guards are trustworthy. The employees of the company are trustworthy and they won’t their passwords or other secret keys with anyone. In case an employee is found malicious, he/she would be departed from access to the network immediately. For network security there is a trusted third party...

...Valentine was a safe-cracking thief. After getting out of jail, Jimmy fell in love and changed his name to Ralph Spencer. Ralph is a nice, morally good man who is the opposite of his true self. Jimmy Valentine was trying to live a moral life because of Jimmy’s sacrifice, honesty and determination. Jimmy Valentine was trying to live a moral life because of his sacrifices. First, Jimmy sacrifices his true identity by opening a safe in front of people that know him as Ralph. “In a minute Jimmy’s pet drill was biting smoothly into the steel door. In ten minutes-breaking his own burglarious record-he threw back the bolts and opened the door.” Second, Ralph sacrificed being noticed as Jimmy Valentine by meeting people and making friendships. The quote from the article proves this point, “Socially he was a success, and made many friends.”...

...given time. While handling such private information like Social Security Numbers, Individuals Names, Addresses, Credit Card information… etc., needs to be properly kept safe from everyone. Things like that can be used to steal someone’s identity and cause serious harm to you and others. This is the type of information that needs to be kept under a lock and key in the safest safe known to man. While handling such information you should constantly monitor your system for any issues for any outside activity that should not be there. To prevent things like this from happening, you need to constantly have that extra watch dog out for around the clock monitoring. The internet is one complete network and everyone is connected in some way, shape or form. If there is a connection, there is always someone watching in that backdoor that you might not be thinking about. There is usually a port or open door somewhere that someone is waiting at for that right time. Yes, there is software, hardware and other ways to monitor your data and/or information, along with your closed network. You can never be too careful and confident to let it all go on by itself. Every day, there is updates and new technology that arrives and needs to constantly be put in place. You can never be too careful to keep such information safe. The impact could result in your company to go down and never come back if this ever happens. Not only that, it can cost you your whole life savings and many other...

...Week 3 1) Security’s not how it was like back in the days, where all they did was lock away mainframes in the server room. Times have changed, technology has advanced and now comes in many forms. Security is very crucial to any organization, and physical security is no exception. Organizations are not just prone to cyber attacks, but as well breaking and entering, trespassing, natural disaster, fire, flood and much more. Physical security protects people, data, equipment’s, systems and facilities etc. Facility management is very important to any organization. It protects company assets. CPTED “is a discipline that outlines how the proper design of a physical environment can reduce crime by directly affecting human behavior”. It helps to provide support in loss and crime through proper facility construction and procedures. CPTED provides three main approaches to provide overall security. Which include natural access control, natural surveillance, and natural territorial reinforcement. It’s the best approach to build a facility through the CPTED approach. It’s also best to follow proper maintenance and procedures pertaining to physical security. For examples facility keys should only be assigned by the facility management and should be documented. Procedures should be written out clearly stating, how the keys should be distributed, inventoried or even destroyed given the circumstances. On any facility, it’s imperative to enforce access control, to prevent unauthorized personnel...

...How Planes Stay Up In the Air I remember a picnic with Becky, my girlfriend, at Maidu Park five years ago. We lied on the lush green turf and held hands as we watched the clouds drift by. We were captivated and intrigued by the definitions in the clouds as we matched them to shapes of animals and other objects. She pointed towards a blanket of clouds on the right and said, “There! That one looks like a dragon.” Right at that moment, a plane flew right above us as it cut through clouds. She quickly sat up and followed the plane with her head. Her eyes widened and her eyebrows shot up as she burst out, “Wow! How do you think it stays up in the sky like that?” As any mischievous thirteen year old would, I simply the magic dust and invisible angels carried the plane on their backs. She laughed and called me stupid for not knowing the answer. However, now as a college student embarking towards my future, I made my personal goal to be a pilot and learn about planes. I got accepted to Embry Riddle, an aeronautical school in Arizona, straight out of high school. Although the fear of planes falling out of sky held me back; so I decided study at Sierra College until I’m ready. Sean palmer, a sophomore at Sierra College, flys planes for a hobby. He pointed out that, “Flying a plane is not like driving a car, it’s far more complicated, but at the same time fun… I fly almost every week, but it’s little expensive to rent planes. So, I’m saving up for my own Cessna 120 for almost two years...

...Communication and Navigation, Take off and Landing and some others. A question that sounds easy but in theory, it’s not simple at all, “How does a plane fly?” whether it is an Airbus, a glider and any other planes, the forces that acts on a plane are exactly the same. There are four main forces to make a plane fly and they are Lift, Weight, Thrust and Drag. The Four Forces As I mention in the introduction, the four forces are Lift, Weight, Thrust and Drag and I will be describing these forces with more details in the following passage. A plane’s weight, descending towards the ground is balanced by the lift force, which ascends upwards. This is created by a flow of air over the wings. When air travels through the wing of a plane, it is bounce off downwards and all the pressure under the wing is bring in to bounce off the air that makes an opposite force, which is ‘Up’. Drag is the air resistance of all planes as they meet the airflow, and its force acts in the opposite directions. Thrust is provided by many sources of power, such as a jet engine, or by the energy descend from being carried into the air. Thrust must always balance drag for the plane to fly. (Barnard, 2007). Communication and Navigation For many training pilots, radio communication and navigation is one of the most irritating factors of aviation. This is because it’s embarrassing to come across as awkward on the radio and it is also embarrassing if you were lost and you had to communicate even though...

...discovered the vortices that are produced off the wings, and observed the alulae, or "thumbs" of the wings. He was concerned with the center of gravity, stability, and manoeuvrability. Leonardo sketched several types of flying machines: helical wing, beating wings, parachute, and bat's wings. Through real life trial and error Da Vinci learned the difficulty of realizing his great dream of flying in a machine powered by human propulsion, and turned his talents toward the problem of gliding flight. In the glider drawing below, the flyer's position is studied at the point where he is balanced through movements of the lower part of the body. The wings, modelled upon bats and birds of large wingspans, are fixed on the inboard portion and mobile at the external portion. This part of the wing in fact can be moved by the flyer by a control cable connected to handles. Leonardo arrived at this solution by studying the wing structure of birds and observing that the inboard part of their wings move more slowly than the outboard, and that therefore serve to thus sustain themselves and produce forward thrust. "The great bird will take flight above the ridge...filling the universe with awe, filling all writings with its fame..." - Leonardo Da Vinci Early Da Vinci gliders had a articulated wing with a system of belts passing between the thighs and around the body of the flyer. He later reduced the structure to a simple form with wings directly attached to the human body. Leonardo's...

...Have you ever flown a drone? Well, I have. I love drones so much that the amazing experience that I'd like to share with you is building my racing drone. I want to share this with you because of the challenges I faced and the things I learned. The first reason for why building a drone is a valuable experience is the challenges I faced. When my dad and I first started building our racing drone we had absolutely no idea on how to build it but, after a few hours of watching youtube videos, we had the slightest idea on how to build a racing drone. The main challenge was when we accidentally fried our only circuit board. We fried the board by leaving the soldering pen on the board for too long. This mistake set us back a couple of days, and we had...

...perpendicular to the direction of its flight. A returning boomerang is designed to return to the thrower. It is well known as a weapon used by Indigenous Australians for hunting”. Ok so by definition boomerangs fly because: “Returning boomerangs fly and are examples of the earliest heavier-than-air man-made flight. A returning boomerang has two or more airfoil wings arranged so that the spinning creates unbalanced aerodynamic forces that curve its path so that it travels in an elliptical path and returns to its point of origin when thrown correctly. While a throwing stick can also be shaped overall like a returning boomerang, it is designed to travel as straight as possible so that it can be aimed and thrown with great force to bring down game. Its surfaces therefore are symmetrical and not uneven like the aerofoils which give the returning boomerang its characteristic curved flight. by wiki” They also return due to the shaping on the edge of wings, a physicist article said “The returning boomerang is most commonly two wings jointed at angle between 80° and 120°, however, some newer boomerangs have more than two wings. The combination of spin and forward motion create an uneven lift over...

I can’t force you to do this, but I will say this: What if you don’t do it? What if you shy away from the first choice you made as an adult? What if this is your only opportunity to prove to yourself that you are ready for the real world?

...fire. The Tame Bird and the Free Bird by: Rabindranath Tagore THE tame bird was in a cage, the free bird was in the forest. They met when the time came, it was a decree of fate. The free bird cries, 'O my love, let us fly to the wood.' The cage bird whispers, 'Come hither, let us both live in the cage.' Says the free bird, 'Among bars, where is there room to spread one's wings?' 'Alas,' cries the caged bird, 'I should not know where to sit perched in the sky.' The free bird cries, 'My darling, sing the songs of the woodlands.' The cage bird sings, 'Sit by my side, I'll teach you the speech of the learned.' The forest bird cries, 'No, ah no! songs can never be taught.' The cage bird says, 'Alas for me, I know not the songs of the woodlands.' There love is intense with longing, but they never can fly wing to wing. Through the bars of the cage they look, and vain is their wish to know each other. They flutter their wings in yearning, and sing, 'Come closer, my love!' The free bird cries, 'It cannot be, I fear the closed doors of the cage.' The cage bird whispers, 'Alas, my wings are powerless and...
