That is how I felt before I decided to go back to school. I realized that without a college education that my life was going nowhere. I had no future. I had to break out of this pit that had become my life and chosen job. Without a college degree I was going nowhere had no future. Deciding to get a degree is all good and well, but what degree what path? How does one go about making a decision of this magnitude? It is an overwhelming task that can be frightening. It’s like looking up from the bottom of a hundred foot deep pit and trying to figure out how to get out of the pit and back into the sunlight, it’s scary. Well I know that I enjoyed working with and building computers, and I enjoyed the security field. I started searching to see if combining these 2 fields was feasible or possible. To my delight and pleasure there was a degree program that did cover both of these fields together it was called Cybersecurity. After reading up on Cybersecurity I felt it was a field that I would enjoy. But what exactly is Cybersecurity? After much research what I discovered is that Cybersecurity is different technologies, processes and practices designed to protect networks, computers, programs and data from attack, damage or unauthorized access....

...Litigation and ADR LAW/531 Litigation and ADR Litigation is the bringing, maintaining, and defense of a lawsuit (Cheeseman, 2013). The two forms of litigation are traditional and nontraditional. Before a trial ensues the pretrial process must take its course and is divided into pleadings, discovery, dismissals, pretrial judgments, and settlement conference. These events are followed by the trial proceedings and appeals, if applicable. Nontraditional litigation includes alternative dispute resolution (ADR). The most common form of ADR being arbitration (Cheeseman, 2013). Other forms include negotiation and mediation. It is up to management to determine which form of litigation is appropriate for the organization. A pleading is the paperwork that is filed with the court to initiate and respond to a lawsuit (Cheeseman, 2013). The pleading process involves a few steps, including: the complaints, the answer, the cross-complaint, and the reply. Every lawsuit begins with a complaint. After the complaint is filed with the court an answer must then be filed by the defendant. In some cases, a defendant may file a cross-complaint, or countersuit against the plaintiff. The plaintiff must then file a reply. During the discovery period, both sides go on a fact-finding mission to state and/or defend their cases. Once these steps are complete, the trial is ready to be heard. If the trial requires a jury, voir dire takes place, otherwise known as “jury selection”. At the onset of the trial...

...spiritual wellness. Romans 1:11 I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you STRONG. •• Spiritual gifts from God make us STRONG. • One walking in the Holy Spirit’s gifts in his life is STRONGER than one not doing so. • A stronger witness ... a stronger minister ... • Natural illustration: “The Spirit of the Lord came upon [Samson] in power so that he tore the lion apart with his bare hands” (Judges 14:6). 1 Corinthians 1:7-8 Therefore you do not lack any spiritual GIFT as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed. [8] He will keep you strong TO THE END, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. •• Spiritually gifted and strong “to the END” = (1) certainly throughout your life (“never leave you”); (2) The church gifted and strong “to the end ... [that is] the day [COMING] of our Lord Jesus Christ.” • Note: The Church will “NOT LACK any spiritual gift ... to the END ... the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.” • This verse should be prayerfully considered by those who teach that the gifts of the Holy Spirit have ceased. 1 Corinthians 3:1-2 Brothers, I could not address you as SPIRITUAL but as WORLDLY — mere infants in Christ.

...in these systems far more visible and significant than ever. But, it's a discipline with a myriad of stakeholders: CIOs, CISOs, enterprise risk management teams, compliance and regulation staff, and internal and external auditors. Step #1: Choose your words wisely There are two types of CIOs—infrastructure managers and strategic thinkers. The latter will succeed with their IT risk management agenda because they speak in terms of business advantages, not outages. For example, rather than talking about a "zero day threat," consider simulating the impact of a potential incident in terms of potential business loss. Instead of talking about RTOs and RPOs, speak in terms of lost revenue and customers during an outage. Instead of highlighting unimplemented ISO controls, speak about the lost effectiveness of employees who need to share information both inside and outside the firewall. It also doesn't hurt to point out the impact on productivity when employees can't effectively share information effectively. Step #2: Use a High-Medium-Low spectrum of potential business loss Part of using the right language is moving away from absolutes. Inevitably, a single prediction of loss will start a battle of statistics and probability debate and your request will get lost in the process. Instead, provide stakeholders with a variety of scenarios and have data to back it up. Consider whether you are a low risk company, moderately tolerant, or highly...

...A New School Year Timothy R Schmoyer 8/22/01 WEEK ONE - INTRODUCTION It was a fog-shrouded morning, July 4, 1952, when a young woman named Florence Chadwick waded into the water off Catalina Island. She intended to swim the channel from the island to the California coast. Long-distance swimming was not new to her; she had been the first woman to swim the English Channel in both directions. The water was numbing cold that day. The fog was so thick she could hardly see the boats in her party. Several times sharks had to be driven away with rifle fire. She swam more than fifteen hours before she asked to be taken out of the water. Her trainer tried to encourage her to swim on since they were so close to land, but when Florence looked, all she saw was fog. So she quit . . . only one-half mile from her goal. Later she said, “I’m not excusing myself, but if I could have seen the land, I might have made it.” It wasn’t the cold or fear or exhaustion that caused Florence Chadwick to fail – it was the fog. Many times we too fail, not because we’re afraid or because of the peer pressure or because of anything other than the fact that we lose sight of the goal. Maybe that’s why Paul said, “I press on toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus” (Phil 3:14). Two months after her failure, Florence Chadwick walked off the same beach into the same channel and swam the distance, setting a new speed record, because she could see the land, she kept...

It is as meaningful as a formal gathering, if not more so. * Don’t often decline to see people who call on you. * Take public opinion baths. * Remember, everyone likes a compliment. * If your subordinates can stand it, so can you. Set a good example. * You must seek and require access to reliable and up-to-date information. 2. Build strong alliances. * Wage only one war at a time. * Spend time letting your followers learn that you are firm, resolute, and committed in the daily performance of your duty. Doing so will gain their respect and trust. * Etiquette and personal dignity are sometimes wisely set aside. * Invest time and money in better understanding the ins and outs of human nature. * Remember, human action can be modified to some extent, but human nature cannot be changed. * Showing your compassionate and caring nature will aid you in forging successful relationships. * When you extinguish hope, you create desperation. * You must remember that people who have not even been suspected of disloyalty are very adverse to taking an oath of any sort as a condition of exercising an ordinary right of citizenship. 3. Persuade rather than coerce. * Discourage formal grievances. Persuade your subordinates to compromise whenever you can. * Use force only as a last resort. * Remember that your followers generally want...

...Success in Your Classroom Chapter Nine I. II. III. Effecting Change as a New Member of a Community Getting Started: Tangible Steps Toward Effecting Positive Change Conclusion: Do Choose Your Battles—Wisely As mentioned at the start of this text, your commitment to propel your students to achieve ambitious academic goals is an effort to make change. As new members of our school and community, we must approach any attempts to make change with great respect and humility. This is even more critical if you seek to change policies or practices at your school that you believe to be inhibiting your students’ academic achievement. Your quest to close the achievement gap for your students in your classroom may lead you to encounter other, related problems that you are eager to take on and overcome. Perhaps there are special education placement policies that you believe could be adjusted to better serve the needs of your students. Perhaps a mandatory dress-code check is leading to excessive tardiness to first period. Perhaps you have opinions about how money should be spent. As a member of your school community, you may be able to influence some of those policies and decisions. If and when such issues truly hinder your students’ learning, you may feel the need to engage in those issues to maximize the likelihood that your students can meet their academic goals. Of course, how you choose to approach the issues can be just as important as which issues you choose to address. Your greatest...

...Heller 1 Greydi Heller Professor Kumar English 101 034 ITIS Monday, October 12, 2015 “ We are One ” Kwame Anthony Appiah was born in London, raised in Ghana and educated at Cambridge University. He became Laurence S. Rockefeller University, Professor of Philosophy and faculty member of the universal central of human values at Princeton, he is currently living in New York City. Appiah’s personal and professional experiences make him highly qualified to talk about Cosmopolitanism in “Making Conversations”, where he gives an interesting twist to the original concept of cosmopolitanism. According to Appiah, we do not have to choose sides between nationalists and hardcore cosmopolitanism. He believes that the position worth defending may be called partial cosmopolitanism. In other words we do not need to go to the right or left, we can stay in between cosmopolitanism and nationalism. Agreeing ,that as citizen of the world we need to develop habits of coexistence,it’s a responsibility that we have to one another even if we are not closely related or similar to each. Appia, makes it very clear saying that cosmopolitanism is not the name of the solution it’s the challenge for every human being to get along with each other .We can better get along with others by getting to know our differences, and our similarities by using a simple tool Heller 2 which is the conversation. I agree with Appiah’s argument, I like the idea of partial cosmopolitanism...
