...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...

Declarative programming is a programming paradigm that expresses the logic of a computation without describing its control flow. Declarative programming is often defined as any style of programming that is not imperative A program that describes what computation should be performed and not how to compute it. Any programming language that lacks side effects (or more specifically, is referentially transparent) A language with a clear correspondence to mathematical logic. Declarative programming is an umbrella term that includes a number of better-known programming paradigms (i.e. Functional + Logic Programming)...

Java source filename extension is “.java”, and the Java bytecode filename extension is ".class" 2. Java is case sensitive? Java distinguish between uppercase and lowercase. The case for Java keywords, such as "String", “string”, "Int", “int”, etc, are different. 3. There is no effect on runtime performance between: a. Import java.util.Scanner; b. Import java.util.*; The facts are: • There is no runtime cost from using an import statement • The compilation process can take a little more time with an import statement • The compilation process can take even more time with a wildcard import statement • For improved readability, wildcard import statements are bad practice for anything but throwaway classes • The compilation overhead of non-wildcard import statements are minor, but they give readability benefits so best practice is to use them 4.

...Capitalization Rules Capitalization is the writing of a word with its first letter in uppercase and the remaining letters in lowercase. Experienced writers are stingy with capitals. It is best not to use them if there is any doubt. Rule 1. Capitalize the first word of a document and the first word after a period. Rule 2. Capitalize proper nouns—and adjectives derived from proper nouns. Examples: the Golden Gate Bridge the Grand Canyon a Russian song a Shakespearean sonnet a Freudian slip With the passage of time, some words originally derived from proper nouns have taken on a life, and authority, of their own and no longer require capitalization. Examples: herculean (from the ancient-Greek hero Hercules) quixotic (from the hero of the classic novel Don Quixote) draconian (from ancient-Athenian lawgiver Draco) The main function of capitals is to focus attention on particular elements within any group of people, places, or things. We can speak of a lake in the middle of the country, or we can be more specific and say Lake Michigan, which distinguishes it from every other lake on earth. Capitalization Reference List * Brand names * Companies * Days of the week and months of the year * Governmental matters Congress (but congressional), the U.S. Constitution (but constitutional), the Electoral College, Department of Agriculture. Note: Many authorities do not capitalize federal orstate unless it is part of the official title: State Water Resources Control...

...Assignment Requirements 1. Look up other database-naming conventions. Is there one that makes the most sense to you? Explain why. 2. Look for Entity Relation Diagrams. What other ways of diagramming entities and relations did you find? Describe any similarities and differences between them. Solutions 1. A naming convention is important when working with databases in order to provide a clear structure and format; especially in team environments. By using these conventions the database can be understood by anyone applying these conventions; thus increasing maintainability. These are not rules but guidelines that can be adapted to any working environment. All names should be in camelcase with the first letter in lower case. Separate name parts by using camel case and NOT underscores or spaces. This provides better readability and you will not have to use quotes when doing SQL statements. Prefixes or namespaces are the ONLY parts of names that should be separated by underscores. This defines a clear separation between names and areas. Do not use numbers in names. This is poor design, indicating divided table structures. Do not use dot (.) separator between names, remember use camel casing. This way you will avoid problems when doing SQL statements as fields are accessed using dot notation. It goes without saying, do not use reserved database words in any name. Always try to use names that make sense and are descriptive of their purpose. Avoid abbreviations whenever possible...

...businessballs handwriting quick self-test graphology explanation Graphology is the study of handwriting, which for hundreds of years has been recognized as being unique to each individual. Through the centuries, starting with Suetonius, the Roman historian, scholars like Shakespeare and Walter Scott believed that personality is reflected in the style of writing. The scientific establishment began to compile evidence and theories proving this as early as the 17th century. Early work in Italy and France was taken forward in Germany, and the basis of today’s methods were set down during the 19th and early 20th centuries. This makes graphology a relatively new science, which perhaps explains why many remain sceptical. The term ’graphology’ was first used by the Frenchman Michon in 1875, from the Greek ‘grapho’ meaning I write, and ‘logos’ meaning theory. Graphology is now widely used in fields ranging from education, recruitment and human resources, to criminal psychology and illness diagnosis. Further reading on the subject is available in many books including: What your handwriting reveals Manual of Graphology Character indicated by handwriting The psychology of handwriting P’s and Q’s Self-knowledge through handwriting M Gullan Whur E Singer R Baughan R Saudek J Meyer H Jacoby Aquarian Press Treasure Press Upcott Gill Allen & Unwin Geoffrey Bles Dent & Sons At its most complex, graphology is a large and dynamic subject. At its basic level however, it is relatively easy to understand...

...Cosmo the Cougar is not a normal mascot. Cosmo is best known for his insane dance moves. Cosmo went viral after his dance to the song “Rolex by Ayo and Teo” with the “cougarettes” (Birgham cheerleaders) by his side. The dance has over 1 million views on facebook and he is now known across the internet for his dance moves (Larimer). He is so popular many people believe he could be in the Mascots Hall of Fame. The Mascot Hall of Fame is an organisation, they nominate mascots that do good deeds and have amazing performances. The building is opening later this year and will be a big tourist spot and a place for children to have fun. In order for a mascot to get in the hall of fame it has to be voted on by the leaders. People are able to submit ideas to the leaders for them to vote on (“Mascot Hall of Fame”). Not only is Cosmo the Cougar an amazing dancer, but he can do amazing tricks too. Cosmo would be great for the mascot hall of fame. He is spectacular with kids and he loves to entertain people. This cougar does many things and he amazes the audience every time. Although some might argue that Cosmo has a “freakishly large head”, Cosmo the Cougar should probably be in the Mascots Hall of Fame because he has outstanding performances, an amazing ability to interact with the community, a huge impact on sports, a super fun and unique costume, and a kid-friendly manner. Cosmo the Cougar, the mascot for Brigham Young University (BYU), has had many breathtaking performances. As a general...

...Security Policy Cyberlaw, Regulations, and Compliance – TFT2 Task 1 Introduction: Heart-Healthy Insurance is currently evaluating their current security policy and have requested some changes to the policy concerning adding new users and the password requirements for the users. The end goal of the requested changes is to satisfy several compliance regulations that are required by law for their business. The regulations that need to be considered are: 1. PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) 2. HIPAA (Health Insurance Privacy and Portability Act) 3. GLBA (Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act) 4. HITECH (Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act) 5. HHS (US. Department of Health and Human Services) New Users: The current directive for new users from the standing security policy states: “New users are assigned access based on the content of an access request. The submitter must sign the request and indicate which systems the new user will need access to and what level of access will be needed. A manager’s approval is required to grant administrator level access.” In evaluating the current policy this standard creates a lot of overhead and administration works for the users and the admins. The new users who are not already familiar with the systems must provide a list of machines that they require access too. Being so new they may not know all of the systems they would need on a day to day basis. This also rolls over...

...E-Mail Netiquette Typing in all caps is used in an email for shouting or yelling and it is rude. If you just use capital letters where they belong then it sounds more as if you are having a conversation, asking simple questions or simply answering a question in a polite non demanding or judgmental way. Therefore, writing in all capitals in an email or any type of letter is known to be poor netiquette or rude. One of the most evaluated way that we are looked at as people, is what we say to some one, or how we say it. When it comes to a business e-mail or letter, you need to make the impression that you are professional, and will be someone that can be a pleasure to work with. You also don’t want any one to get the wrong first impression of who you are or who you represent. One of the first things that people see in an e-mail is the subject, it indicates what the e-mail is about, so keep it short and straight to the point, but all capital letters or all lower case letters can be made out as an unprofessional impression. If you are sending an e-mail that is work related and it pertains to more than just yourself, it is respectful to attach the people over you and the people in your office or work place to the e-mail. It is not only respectful but it is also so that they can see what is being said within that conversation. That way you don’t have to keep relaying messages and they can just read the conversation themselves. For example, one of your superiors is in the e-mail...
