Imagine the value of client databases, technical inventions, industrial information essential for manufacturing or financial transactions' history of companies. Where there is serious monetary value, there is also a strong interest to acquire this information. What could be more convenient for hackers than to create a faulty impression of failures in operational system in order to hide their real intentions and cover tracks? If your computer is damaged badly by viruses and malware, you may install operational system and programs easily if you have installation disks available. The same goes to your original data. Making regular backups of your data and having them available after severe virus damages may have really high value. 3.

Carl himself is behind on their training, has not completed all the required processing, in addition to the fact that some of the employees haven’t even completed applications, nor have submitted transcripts. Orientation needs to be arranged somewhere other than the original location, due to double booking conflicts. The training material also needs to be reviewed and confirmed for the employees prior to the seminar. Mr. Robins is quickly falling behind, so he needs to formulate a plan of action, and implement it concisely. ------------------------------------------------- Background Having successful hired 15 new people in early April, Carl had plenty of time to prior to June 15th in which to organize everything, but procrastinated until it became a scramble to handle everything at once.

...women, are the front lines of defense against crime and enforcers of the law. Police officers; whether it is local, state, or federal, have a job to do just like you and me. They enforce the law and keep the peace among us human beings. Without them, society would be out of control. The role of a police officer is to maintain public order by arresting offenders, responding to all car accidents on the highway, and dealing with crime every day. The main duty of a police officer, be it state police officer or state trooper, is to maintain law and order in the community. With out these front line enforcers of the law we would never see justice in and out the court room, through an attorney and a judge. State police officers, also known as Highway Patrol enforce the rules of the road and issue traffic tickets as well as tickets for other various violations on the highway. In California, they have CHP Officers patrolling the highway. State police officers pursue offenders and fugitives on the highways all the way to the state boarder. State Officers attend to all significant obstructions and accidents within their jurisdiction. They are responsible for discarding vehicles on the side of the road that are not functioning, and other debris that disturb the flow of traffic.

The cause of Poe’s death remains a mystery even now.

...Thesis Statement The controversial life led by Princess Diana as well as her tragic death is a direct consequence of the pressures laid by fame and the pressures of royalty. A lot was expected of her as the Princess of Wales. Her elevation to royalty placed undue demands on a lady who could not bear being on the limelight. Her newly found matrimony did not help as her husband, Prince Charles became a philanderer. The Prince openly carried on his affair with an old flame, Camilla Parker. Any sensible woman should have deserted her husband but Diana was no ordinary woman. She was a mother to princes, one of whom was an heir to the British monarchy. Moreover, Diana had a public responsibility to the people of England to behave as the model princess and initially divorce was out of the question. Consequently she decided to put on a façade of happiness in order to fulfill her role as the peoples’ princess and proud wife. Beneath her superficial glamorous veneer, was a hurting woman who lacked an outlet to vent her gradually growing emotional turmoil. Unfortunately Diana had to live by the chauvinistic protocol of royalty. Just like the predecessors, Charles carried on with an affair in the full glare of the public and his wife was expected to tolerate his behavior. A good example is the infamous Tudor King, Henry VIII. Henry had numerous affairs but his wives did not object as it was indeed a man’s world. Apparently such norms are in play as exhibited by Prince Charles. Her...

...company to transport Nigerian pilgrims in and out of Mecca. The DC- 8 caught fire during take-off from Abdulaziz International Airport, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Pilots noticed problems during early stages of take-off and only made it 671 meters in elevation before attempting to turn around for a emergency landing. It was too late; the under inflated tires had overheated began to catch fire. The fire grew and blew out the hydraulics which made the emergency landing impossible. This was the worst wreck a DC-8 had ever experienced and has held the record for many years following. The NTSB concluded that the fire could have been handled by leaving the landing gear extended and away from the plane. Although the pilots failed to make the right decision, and added just one more human error to the equation, it was the obvious neglect by the maintenance team that caused this horrific accident. There are many human factors which played a vital role in the crash. The maintenance team failed to inflate the #2 and #4 main gear tires after recognizing the pressure during the pre-flight. An attempt to inflate the tires failed because there was no nitrogen available at the location. Further investigation shows later that the maintenance team recognized and had written up the tires during a previous "A" inspection but was signed off and overlooked more than twice before the incident. Human Factors Involvement There are many human factors that caused the Flight 2120 crash, and...

...social care setting daily and a risk assessment was needed to make sure their safety was to a high standard. There was five hazards at Quince Tree that I had recognised which could have put the service users and staff at risk, most of these hazards was at a medium risk and only a small amount were high. Firstly there was a slip and trips hazard this could have caused harm to someone who may suffer from vision impairment or to the younger age group of children who don’t have much awareness, and would easily walk or run into them or even decided to climb up onto them. The reasons for this would be that there had been a recent delivery for necessary items such as nappies, wipes and paper etc. the boxes was left in the walk way at the entrance to the main room for children aged 3 to 5. This occurred as the manager had become quickly occupied with another task. I rated this risk at a medium level as it could have caused harm to any of the service users who may have fallen over these items although it could have easily been resolved. To resolve this risk it would have been better for the manager to have either asked the delivery man or another member of staff who was not busy at the time to move and store the boxes in a safe place. Such as in the staff room or an unused cupboard and placed on shelves so they could have been opened and stored at a later stage. This would minimise the risk of any individual tripping over them and causing...

...moving) are influenced by who moves first (a potential first-mover advantage, or disadvantage), and who can commit to a future course of action. Credible commitments (threats) are difficult to make because they require players to commit to a course of action against their self-interest. Thus, the best threat is one you never have to use. SIMULTANEOUS-move G, players move at the same time. In the prisoners’ dilemma, convict and cooperation are in tension—self-interest leads to outcomes that reduce both players’ payoffs. Cooperation can improve both players’ payoffs. Rules of thumb: • Be nice: No rest strikes. • Be easily provoked: Respond immediately to rivals. • Be forgiving: Don’t try to punish competitors too much. • Don’t be envious: Focus on your own slice of the port pie, not on your competitor’s. • Be clear: Make sure your competitors can easily interpret your actions. Strategic: model as either a simultaneous-move or sequential-move game. Focusing on how the outcome of bargaining games depends on who moves first and who can commit to a bargaining position, as well as whether the other player can make a counteroffer. A player can gain bigger share of the \“pie” by 1) changing a simultaneous-move game into a sequential- move game with a first-mover advantage; or by 2) committing to a position. Non-strategic focuses on the gains and alternatives to agreement to determine the outcome of bargaining. • Main insight: The gains from agreement relative to the...

...Atlantis. The manufacturers did this in order to save their businesses from bad publicity. Airlines and plane manufacturers are not only able to deceive the public, but they are also able to make the public believe something else entirely. In the mid-1900s, planes were still new so they were definitely going to have some problems. However, companies that manufactured these planes still did not want people to know that it was their fault that these disappearances occurred. In order to cover up this fact, these companies had to make up a story to draw the people’s attention away from them. “At 2,000 feet you’d be leaving very little altitude for maneuver. In any serious in-flight emergency they could have lost their height in seconds and gone into sea” (“Bermuda Triangle plane mystery ‘solved’”). Companies along with the help of historians have come up with many different excuses for these disappearances. The most common excuse is that aliens were to blame for these vessels’ disappearances. “A downed spaceship lurking deep underwater, its dangerous alien mechanics interfering with our own technology? Perhaps. Or perhaps the Bermuda Triangle, along with another similarly rumored triangle in the Pacific off the...

...to the world of Academia, there are many different components in play that affect the success or failure of students. Psychologists and educators alike have speculated about this for years, and they have proposed several different theories on student academic failure. Three main contributing factors of academic failure are learned helplessness, emotional and behavioral disorders, and learning disabilities, all of which have ways to help alleviate the chance of a student failing. Learned Helplessness Learned helplessness theory was first described by Seligman and Maier, based off of an experiment they conducted on dogs. They placed dogs in shuttle boxes and exposed them to ineludible shock. Once the dogs were exposed to this shock, they could move to the other side; however they choose not to do so. They sat helplessly, enduring the excruciating shocks. Seligman and Maier witnessed the dogs make minimal effort to escape even if they had previously successfully escaped the shock. In this case the dogs had learned to behave helplessly, even when...
