...Week 1 Assignment 1 Michael Conley ITT Technical Institute Abstract This paper will be identifying, analyzing, and explaining five likely threat/vulnerabilities for the scenario given. I will go into detail on what you should do to lower the risk or vulnerability. The last thing I will talk about in this paper is what you should do to try and make it better and more secure. There are definitely some potential risks and vulnerabilities with the given scenario. The first one to point out would be that they are using Windows Vista. Another issue is the VPN connection with the laptops. Issue number three would be the servers. The fourth problem I foresee is back up. The final problem I see in the network is with the ISP. This is not a very old and outdated OS, since Microsoft is still supporting it, but there are more vulnerabilities with using Vista as opposed to Windows 7. Windows 7 is also more versatile, it is able to be run on more than just desktops unlike Vista. Windows 7 is able to be used on laptops, desktops, and netbooks which Vista cannot be used on all of those. Windows 7 puts all of the security notifications and other system problems in one place unlike Vista where you have to search through the control panel to find things. Windows 7 you just go to the action center. The likelihood of there being a serious security issue with windows Vista is low for right now. Once...

...Myplace: The plalce for Diversity Antonio Sigala COMM/315 Mr. Brian Lempke Diversity is generally defined as acknowledging, understanding, accepting, valuing, and celebrating differences among people with respect to age, class, ethnicity, gender, physical and mental ability, race, sexual orientation, spiritual practice, and public assistance status (Esty, et al., 1995). There are the obvious characteristics such as gender, race, religious beliefs, social class, etc.; and of course there are those characteristics that are not so obvious such as mental ability, religious beliefs, physical ability among others. It is tough to decipher those hidden qualities on an individual without knowing much about that person. For my first example I have chosen Jenna, this was very tough for me as I let my personal bias get in the way of a rational choice when I came across the decision to match a picture to the description. I was wrong! Her Drive is eminent; her commitment to succeed is unprecedented. She was able to survive drug dependency (demonstrates drive and the will to succeed) and established herself as she once had after she graduated college. Mental toughness was very important as she went through hard times after losing her mother, these hidden characteristics cannot be detected by the naked eye and most of us base our judgment on our own personal bias and stereotypes. Kim was my second choice, She too has the drive to succeed, and she was the first one of her family...

...The current plain old Telephone Service (POTS) that is currently being used by our company is based under six telephone land line components. The local loop can be any size of copper wire which allows telephones to be connected to one central office and back to this office. The central office is a local exchange which serves multiple customers in one certain location. Central office will support up to 10,000 customers in one three-digit prefix and can have more than one local exchange. Local Exchange Carriers (LEC) are local companies that provide their service in one local area and can serve multiple offices based on the population of that certain location. Point of Presence (POP) is described as long distance carrier who can meet up with another carrier to provide long distance telephone service to multiple locations. Long distance systems are multiple companies providing service within a certain local access and transport area. These connect through LECs to provide the long distance service. Fixed-Line Telephone systems are the oldest technology. Fixed-Line is telephones in which are connected through one singe line in an office.

...SUMMARY OF A CASE INVOLVING 4TH AMENDMENT RIGHTS At about 6:08am, on October 4, 2009, Trisha Oliver, a resident of Cranston Rhode Island called 911 reporting that her six-year-old son, Marco Nieves, stopped breathing. Emergency authorities took Marco to Hasbro Children's Hospital, where he was found to be in full cardiac arrest. He later died after 11 hours attempt to save his life. At about 6:20am, Sgt. Michael Kite of the Cranston Police Department had arrived at the apartment, where he found Oliver, her boyfriend Michael Patino, and their 14-month-old daughter, Jazlyn Oliver grieving the loss of their loved one. Officer Kite noticed a few odd things about the apartment where Marco suffered his cardiac arrest. Among these things was a cell phone on the kitchen counter, a couple of stripped beds and linens on the floor, a trash can with, dark brown vomit in a toilet, and, crucially, a cell phone on the kitchen counter. Kite picked up the cell phone, and it was at that point—in the just-released opinion of a Rhode Island state court—that police proceeded to mangle a murder case and violate Patino's Fourth Amendment rights by viewing text messages without a warrant. Officer Kite viewed a text message on the phone, which was owned by Trisha Oliver, reading "Wat if I got 2 take him 2 da hospital wat do I say and dos marks on his neck omg." The message was sent from Oliver to Patino, although the sending of the message apparently failed. There were other messages on the phone "with...

...Motivational: Is a psychological feature that arouses an organism to act towards a desired goal and elicits, controls, and sustains certain goal-directed behaviors. It can be considered a driving force; a psychological one that compels or reinforces an action toward a desired goal. For example, hunger is a motivation that elicits a desire to eat. Motivation is the purpose or psychological cause of an action. Cognitive: Social cognition came to prominence with the rise of cognitive psychology in the late 1960s and early 1970s and is now the dominant model and approach in mainstream social psychology. Common to social cognition theories is the idea that information is represented in the brain as "cognitive elements" such as schemas, attributions, or stereotypes. A focus on how these cognitive elements are processed is often employed. Social cognition therefore applies and extends many themes, theories and paradigms from cognitive psychology, for example in reasoning(representativeness heuristic, base rate fallacy and confirmation bias), attention (automaticity and priming) and memory (schemas, primacy and recency). It is very likely that social psychology was always a lot more cognitive than mainstream psychology to begin with, as it traditionally discussed internal mental states such as beliefs and desires when mainstream psychology was dominated by behaviorism. Learning: a perspective that states that people learn within a social context. It is facilitated through concepts...

The values that lead me in the direction were the morals and principles that I was raised cut and groomed with. Ethics and how one handled a situation was crucial and were also the deciding factors of what would take place next due to the fact I was the youngest of my siblings and trust me they were fighting for position and making it very difficult to say the least.
