...everyone of every age. Up until recently, the Internet started buzzing with shocking reports of Hoverboards catching fire. Major online outlets like Amazon started emailing their customers instructing them on how to use their hoverboard – or worst, asking them to discard it in return for a full refund. They also temporarily removed their Hoverboard inventory from their store as a precautionary measure. So what is making this uber toy catch fire? Experts seem to have boiled it down. The gist of the problem was apparently the lithium batteries catching fire. Now, under normal circumstances, this rarely happens, to genuine Hoverboards made by reputable manufacturers. But evidence shows that the mobility vehicles catching fire used cheaper, imitation parts in its charger, circuitry and batteries. Almost 100% of hoverboards...

...A Breeze through Popular Culture Often parents and adults say that we teenagers text too often, play video games for vast hours, and that we watch unworthy fake news programs. In addition they say that all this diminishes our intelligence, however this is not one hundred percent true. Furthermore, I will acknowledge that text speak, video games, and fake news are instead changing the way people think in a positive manner. Although this is not a traditional way of gaining knowledge, it is still a growth that people who think in a conservative way have to accept. Text speak, video games and fakes news, have created a different way of learning, enhanced our communication skills, and they have increased our imagination. An examination of 2B or Not 2B by author David Crystal, Extra Lives: Why Video Games Matter by author Tom Bissell, and The Good, the Bad, and The Daily Show by author Jason Zinser will reveal to us how text speak, video games, and fakes news also result in positive outcomes. Text speak, video gaming, and fake news have revolutionized the way we learn. David Crystal, well known for his work in English language studies and linguistics, says in his essay 2B or Not 2B that text speak is not something alien to us, the way we use text speak is what is different. It is important that we teenagers establish to parents, adults, and teachers that we are not destroying the English language neither adapting poor writing habits by abbreviating words. I have made the conclusion...

...Optimization of biometric Fingerprint Recognition parameters using Genetic Algorithms Report submitted for CPSC - 6126 Fall 2014 Term Paper By Krishna Sindhuri Nagavolu 13th December, 2014 Optimization of biometric fingerprint recognition parameters using Genetic Algorithms Abstract This research paper discusses about parameter optimization for biometric fingerprint recognition with the use of genetic algorithms. An accurate access control system is very important in domains like identification checks at airports, government organizations, FBI’s, scientific working groups like NASA, US defense department and driver’s license office. The main reason these organizations prefer Biometrics is because it measures physiological characteristics like fingerprints, iris patterns, facial recognition, retina recognition, ear recognition and DNA analysis. Based on the features of the biometric sensors used, the system can detect whether a person is an authorized user or not. Though there are many other methods for identification, biometric sensors are considered to be very reliable and accurate. The main objective of this paper is to build a fingerprint recognizer that is fully automatic and can minimize the errors caused while matching the fingerprints.

...Ethics for Prosecutors and Defense Attorneys Phillip C. Moore U.S. Courts Professor Shenia C. Kirkland, Esq. January 29, 2013 Ethics has been defined in many ways, but one true definition remains elusive when attempting to obtain a clear and concise meaning of ethics. For this paper, ethics will be defined as rules of conduct in regard to specific actions as administered by a particular group of people; i.e. medical or Christian ethics (Webster, 2012). The purpose of this paper is to address two cases in which the prosecutor and defense attorney violated the Attorney Professional Code of Conduct. This paper will summarize the facts of the case and detail the duties of either the prosecutor or defense attorney; determine which duties were breached and what should have happened to bring them in compliance; and will deduce both the personal and professional ramifications of their actions. The first case to be discussed will be one that the Innocence Project appealed on behalf of Ralph Armstrong in Dane County Wisconsin. Ralph was convicted of the rape and murder of college student Charise Kamps in 1981. For the duration of his twenty eight year incarceration, Ralph maintained he was innocent. An internet search of the trial proceedings and how the jury reached their verdict of guilty in the original trial proved to be a dead end. However, the Innocence Project website and several news agencies provided the information on how the prosecutorial misconduct...

...Guide to In-text Citation and Referencing IN-TEXT CITATION 1) If you are paraphrasing from any source in which the author’s name is given, you must mention the author’s surname, date of publication and the page number. For example: Chase (1979:204) reported that… According to Henderson and King (1987:176),… 2) If you are summarising the overall idea of a book or article, you just have mention the author’s surname and date of publication. The page number is not necessary. For Example: The study concluded that there was no clear link between obesity and genetics (Smith, 2006). 3) If you are citing from a source written by more than two authors, rather than writing the name of every author, use the name of the first author followed by et al, which means and others. For example: Jones et al (2001) explained that… Comment [KHEI1]: Please note that et al should be in italics 4) If you are using an authoritative source but there is no author, you should cite the name of the organisation in the text. For example: A report published by the BBC (2004) indicated that… There has been a slight increase in the number of homeless children in developed countries in the last 10 years (UNESCO, 2008). 5) If you are giving exact quotations, you should identify the page numbers on which the quotations can be found. For example: Black (2007:143) claims that, ‘……………………………..’ 6) If the quotation is 3 lines of longer, you should indent the whole quotation. For example:...

...Attack Prevention Paper The article that was chosen for the review was Simple Cross-Site Attack Prevention by Florian Kerschbaum. This article covers what a cross-site attack is, how attackers use them and how vulnerable web applications can be. In this paper we will look at what the problem is as the original author sees it. We will also look at resolutions that could be done to prevent this kind of attacks. In this article the author explains how a simple cross-site attack can take place and goes on to explain what a solution for this problem is. This article starts out by explaining what a cross-site attack is and how they take place with some examples. According to Kerschbaum “A reflected cross-site scripting attack or cross-site request forgery attack occurs when a user follows a malicious link. This link has been tainted with some input that exploits vulnerability on the target web site, such that a script can execute in the security context of the user’s browser and the target web site” (Kerschbaum, n.d., para. 13). In this article the author clearly states the problem and the seriousness of the problem. The author covered the information from a technical perspective but was able to describe the problem in every day terms so that the end users could understand the issues and the solution to the issue that would resolve the problem. These examples are thing that we still see today from the fake e-mails that send a person out to a site for them to login...

...Replicas and Forgeries Chris Rohr Western Governors University Replicas and Forgeries Fakes, forgeries and replicas have been created for centuries. Determining the difference between them has been an issue of growing importance. Hundreds of books have been written on the subject and there are professions and organizations built around determining the true nature of an object. For the purposes of this paper and object may be a work of art, a document or an artifact. A replica is a copy of an original object that is not presented as the original. The replica is not considered the original even if it is made of the same materials and constructed in the same fashion as the original object. A forgery or a fake is a copy of an object that is represented as the original object. The forgery or a fake is not considered the original even if it is made of the same materials and constructed in the same fashion as the original object. According to some experts determining the authenticity and originality of an object is becoming more and difficult “...we have become so immersed in the world of mediated representations that we can no longer tell the difference between authentic and the artificial” (Knight & Long, 2004, p. 2). The differences which separate replicas from forgeries or fakes are deception in representing the object, altering the value of the object and the intent in the creation of the object. The intent to deceive the true representative nature of an object is...

...Paper reading assignment By Girish Bangalore Ramesh, SJSU:010120240 Wireless sensor networks are used to acquire the physical data from the sensors. Wireless network devices have to be authenticated and there location has to be to clearly tracked. Earlier to distinguish between the physical locations, spatial uncorrelation property of the channels was used. The broadcast nature of the wireless medium is vulnerable to Sybil attacks. The researchers have found out a new attack against the existing systems. The main idea of this attack is to create a virtual multipath channel which cannot be detected and the receiver is made to believe that is has the same characteristics as that of specified channel chosen by the receiver. The administrator...

...Geoffrey Chaucer paints an almost perfect image of the Nun (or Prioress). Almost every quality Chaucer describes about her comes across in a very positive way to the audience. However, many of these qualities that seem positive can actually be viewed as signs of an extremely fake and pretentious individual. In this paper I will discuss how the Nun is portrayed in a more positive manner than what she deserves, and how many of the positive qualities actually describe a fake individual rather than one who is doing God’s work. “With obvious pleasure, graceful, lady-like/ Working hard to appear amused, but of striking/ Dignity and courtly importance” (138-140). Many readers may look at everything here as a positive quality in the Nun, seeing that she is graceful and with striking dignity. However, one might argue that by “Working hard to appear amused” (139) she is simply forcing herself to appear to be drawn into whatever her surroundings are. She is not showing her true emotions or at least not showing them in her true form. This example also shows that she places a high priority on her image and wants to be involved in everything. Typically this would not be seen as a negative quality for an individual, but this goes against the normal order of a Nun because they usually want to be in the background and unnoticed. Other prime examples of how her qualities are projected in a false manners are: “She helped herself to meat with immense discretion” (136) and “By seeing a mouse caught...

...1. An overview on cyberbullying in higher education. This article defines bullying as “repeated intimidation, over time, of a physical, verbal, and Psychological nature of a less powerful person by a more powerful person or group of persons”. To date, 18 states have laws to address cyberbullying, compared with 49 states, all except Montana, having laws to address bullying (Hinduja & Patchin, 2013). State laws primarily focus on cyberbullying that occurs on K-12 campuses, and each state requires school district to have policies against bullying. In a K-12 environment, cyberbullying that occurs off campus has been handed off to the parents. The expansion and use of communications technology, such as mobile and tablet devices, has allowed the bully to transform and follow his or her victim almost anywhere, at any time. Short story/example: White female student at Duke University. On May 2010, this female student developed a fake senior thesis as a PowerPoint presentation that described her sexual exploits with 13 male students at Duke University. In her fake thesis, she utilized each student’s real name and picture which, in some cases, showed the male student in his university athletic uniform. The female student emailed the fake thesis to three people she considered close friends, and the thesis was forwarded to others undoubtedly due to the salacious nature of the thesis (Seelye & Roberts, 2010). Eventually, the thesis ended up in the public domain on the blog...
