...After the Raptor leaves, Agathon flees into the wilderness and tries to elude Cylon forces, surviving by using anti-radiation injections and the other contents of his survival kit. Eventually, he is captured by a Number Six copy, but is rescued by Valerii (unknown to Agathon, his rescuer is another copy of Cylon model Number Eight).[8] Valerii's true motive in accompanying Agathon is the participation in a Cylon experiment designed to attempt to create a viable Cylon/human hybrid offspring. The Cylons track Agathon's progress toward a military base in Delphi, placing him in situations designed to result in affection and ultimately love towards Valerii. The experiment results in a successful pregnancy after Valerii has sex with Agathon,[9] though as an unintended side effect, she falls in love with him as well.[10] Agathon soon discovers the truth about her Cylon nature after spotting another Number Eight copy while trying to infiltrate the Delphi military base. Believing that he is being led into a trap, he runs from the base and Valerii.[11] She eventually catches up to him and reveals she is pregnant. Despite shooting her in the shoulder, Agathon realizes he can't bring himself to kill her and instead, at her urging, takes her with him to the Delphi museum. It is there he is reunited with fellow Galactica pilot Kara "Starbuck" Thrace, who is on a special mission from President Laura Roslin to recover the Arrow of Apollo.[12] After nearly being killed by Thrace, Valerii steals...

...started in 1990 with first construction and now in 2014, on the edge of 25 years, the center held a logo contest to acquire its new logo to be implemented as soon as possible. When walking into the Didde Catholic Campus Center, the area encountered is very open. There are two floors to the building and it has a multitude of areas for hosting events. If looking for the center, it is easily accessible because of its location relative to Emporia State University’s campus. The address is 1415 Merchant Street, Emporia, KS and it is very welcoming to students for involvement in many ways. As a nonprofit organization, there are only a small number of employees who get paid by the hour. It has eight employees and several volunteers who help at the different activities that occur throughout the year. The eight employees consist of four student Outreach Staff, one maintenance position, one finance position, one Office Manager, and a Director/Chaplain. Since August, the Director/Chaplain is new and learning the ways in which to perform the activities in order to gain participation and donations. Since the Didde Catholic Campus Center is nonprofit, it only provides services. The services that are included at the center are a library, student computers, a kitchen, event rental space, classrooms for public or student use, Mass, and activities. In order to stay in business though, they must find a way to earn money. They do this through collections, renting space, Mass intentions, a Lenten appeal...

...not ashamed of my past before I had him but I’m not too thrilled about it either. My son has helped me through many hard times and has helped me be the person I am today. I hope one day to have another child. I work full time as a certified nursing assistant at Lawrence Community Health Care Center in Bridgeport. Its hard work but I love the satisfaction of knowing I’m there for someone at their time of need. I am wanting to do more for my residents, and it has guided me to start college. I’m getting a lot of support from friends and family. I plan on going into the nursing program after I’m through with my support classes. I’m wanting to better my life and my families lives by getting a degree. Hard work and dedication, I believe, are the keys to success in college or in any goal someone might have in mind. I just recently got engaged to the love of my life, Dustin Lytis. We’ve been together for a year but we’ve known each other for many years. We plan on getting married in September of 2015. I really didn’t know what love was until he came into my life. In my spare time I enjoy playing 8-ball pool. I’m not the greatest at it but it tends to clear my mind. I also enjoy outside activites such as hiking, 4-wheeler riding, and gardening. I have a lot on my plate being a full time mom, a student, working, and an upcoming marriage. But I believe that anyone can do anything as long as they set their mind to...

...be understood by unauthorized readers.” (Dyson) Encryption can be thought as locking something valuable into a strong box with a key. Sensitive data is encrypted by using a key algorithm, which renders it unreadable without the knowledge of the key. Data encryption keys are determined at connect time between a connection and the computer on the other end. The use of data encryption can be initiated by a personal computer or by the server it’s connecting to. On these terms, “Encryption is the technology that makes E-COMMERCE possible because it underlies the security systems used to protect electronic financial transactions.” (Dyson) Similarly, Dan Boneh, Professor of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering at Stanford University, gives another definition for the term. “Encryption is a method for users to securely share data over an insecure network or storage server.” (Boneh, Sahai and Waters) Since there are many transactions people do every day such as online banking or online shopping, it is necessary to make sure that they are done safely with the use of Encryption. As a matter of fact, the applications of encryption are very important. First of all we have data protection. Here we are referring to files and email encryption. The data is protected in the hard disk in case a hacker gets into the system. However, if the person who has the key of the encryption to decode...

...Summary: The number of illiterates in India is estimated to be over 400 million of which 75% live in rural areas. Of the literate population, a significant proportion lack basic vocational skills. India has world-class institutes of higher learning, such as the IITs, IIMs and medical colleges but the rural India still remain isolated to them. India’s most valuable intellectual capital migrates to western countries keeping gap in demand and supply of such intellectual capital in India, therefore we need to develop the equal opportunities for the isolated communities and enable them to access the elitist structure of Indian education. With the weak and tottering foundation India will not be able to achieve social and economic development The key challenge of India is to rapidly provide opportunities to the rural population to empower them with education and make them literate, and develop basic leadership and problem-solving skills. Have strong basic education foundation rural India will be able to raise productivity, entrepreneurship and material standards of living Here we would like to opt to do research into how into how provide solution to the critical issues of primary education in India through innovation strategy. As a part of research we will be meeting and collecting information from founders of NGO called “eVidyaloka (www.eVidyaloka.org)”. eVidyaloka is a not for profit organization registered under the Trusts Act, focuses on...

...Journey of the Self The road I’m traveling on I see as a dirt road through a light forest in the mountains of northern California. I’m not sure exactly where I am, but it is a bright day with some clouds and blue skies, but off to the distance I can see storm clouds. All I have with me is my backpack containing a notebook, a pen, a pair of gym shorts, a spare t-shirt, a pack of cigarettes with a lighter, a bottle of water and a couple of granola bars. In my pockets I have a cell phone with a dead battery, a pocketknife, and my wallet with five dollars and my I.D. inside. I’m walking, surrounded by trees of all types. There is a light breeze, but it’s quiet as I walk and look around. As I’m walking, the road is flat and somewhat narrow, but it is easy going for the most part, with random spots where the road becomes rocky and somewhat stressful, but it evens itself out and becomes smooth for a period of time again. I feel happy and serene, but exhausted at times and in need of a bit of rest, but I always continue and begin to walk again. As I’m walking, I come to a two-way fork in the road with a sign in the middle. The sign has two arrows with words printed on them. Each arrow is pointing in the opposite direction of the other. To the left I have the choice to walk to the city, while to the right I have the choice to walk to a small country town. After some thought and consideration of both of my choices, I eventually choose to head towards the Country. I’m not sure exactly...

...What is Honor? My understanding of the term honor. Honor is defined as a source of credit or distinction, and is associated with reverence, dignity, reputation, good name and a good sense of what is morally correct. The key part to honor is having respect for others and for you; the two must act together because without both, there is nothing. I strongly believe that reputation is hard to gain and easily lost. Think about this, every day thousands of planes fly somewhere and there is never any news about a successful landing, but if any of those flights crash, it is all over the news. This fact tells me that in order to keep one’s honor, one must maintain a set standard of excellence. It will only take one infraction to cause said person to forfeit one’s honor. Nicholas Boileau once said: “Honor is like a rugged island without a shore, once you have left it, you cannot return.” Honor is something in which is not obtained and sustained easily. One must have patience and study to become a person of integrity and goodwill. Honor is an everyday thing; obstacles trying to deter one from being honorable lay in life’s everyday path. Perseverance is a key to honor; one must fight the constant impeding objects in order to maintain the highest level of honor. The shore of an island is often looked at as something isolated and secluded yet has a certain charm about it. Honor is much like the shore in this sense. Honor must come from inside and resist being influenced by minor factors...

...David Srep Computer Literacy New Tech Update These three phones allow you to have the Unikey app. No more digging your pockets and looking for your keys. There a new app that you can get for the phones that are above this paragraph. This key is called the Unikey system, and it has some cool features that are actually kind of clever. The unikey app transmits a Bluetooth signal from the user iPhone, android, or blackberry smart phone, which is picked up by a paired unikey deadbolt lock as it is approached by a user. All the user has to do is walk up to the door and the phone has to be nearby the door. Next the user has to touch the outer surface of the lock, at which point the bolt will electronically withdraw. You can do the same thing when you leave the house. What I like about the Unikey system is that you can text someone the key to your house. This way your family member doesn’t have to wait until you get home. It gives you an option if you want that person have the key permanent or a one- time use. If you lose your phone you can deactivate the app from a computer and the unikey comes with a spare key. The unikey system is being sold for 199.00. It will be cool if they can make these apps for cars. I have car key 3 times and hand to pay 80 dollars for someone to get my key out the car. Source: http://www.unikeytech.com/ Source:...

...Cryptography Cryptography Some data is very sensitive and therefore it has to be hidden away from parties who are not supposed to view it. In this age of computers, their capacity for transfer and retrieval of information may be exploited by other parties to gain access to confidential and potentially dangerous data. Therefore, measures have been taken to ensure that data is not accessed by others which is done by using several methods which, besides physical security, includes the use of encryption algorithms which are programs that change the way information looks by rendering it illegible. Data encryption is an important part of computing and, if done properly, can provide the user with means through which data can be protected from other parties. Encryption is done in many areas including end point devices such as computer terminals and servers which store important information. As such, data encryption has been applied in the military, banking sector, in businesses and other areas which require secure storage and transfer of data. Data encryption is simply the change of raw data or ordinary information referred to as plaintext into indecipherable material called cipher text. The data can then be stored or transferred securely since it cannot be read by another party. If the data is to be accessed, a cipher, which is the pair of algorithms that encrypts and decrypts data, is used to decrypt the data. The data can then be read and it is therefore accessible only...

...Ariel Martin October 16, 2013 Descriptive narration Flash Burn My dad was set on fire when the car backfired. He was in the process of getting his Jeep fixed. On this particular day, the project of choice was working on the carburetor. The process was simple, he would pour gas into the carb well my boyfriend Mat would turn the key over. They must have done this at least a dozen times. The last time it all went wrong. My dad poured the gas and Mat turned the key. A loud bang like a gun shoot startled me, but I did not expect to turn my head to see the most devastating thing. I looked over to where the bang was there were flames coming from under the hood. The bottle of gas my dad was holding was on fire. He was unsure where my son was so he didn’t want to throw the bottle. Instead he tried to shake the bottle that’s when it all went wrong. The gas splashed his face then the flames; he hit the floor stop, drop and roll. It didn’t work as he hit the floor the bottle of gas fell and he rolled right into it. Now his chest is on fire, he realized it’s not working he stands up and rips his shirt off and starts hitting his head to put the flames out. The smell of burning flesh and hair was all we could smell. The sight was heart breaking when he turned around; the skin that was left on his face was hanging. From the time the fire started to when he looked me in the eyes and asked how he looked had only been about a minute and a half. That fast I had to look my dad in his...

...SECTION ONE INTRODUCTION BACKGROUND OF STUDY In years past, when enterprises were starting, it suffered data lose and information retrieval was difficult since there was no strong security service to protect already gathered information. Production, distribution and some other functions were very difficult to achieve due to weak security services but as the days passed by enterprise has struggled to secure its services and with the aid of growth in technology and programming enterprise services has reached a reasonable degree in achieving its dream by protecting its services from harm. An enterprise is an activity or a project that produces services or products. There are essentially two types of enterprise, business and social enterprises. Business enterprises are run to make profit for a private individual or group of individuals. This includes small business while social enterprise functions to provide services to individuals and groups in the community. These shows that an enterprise security service is a form of protecting the services or the product of individuals and groups in the community from harm (preventing unauthorized users from gaining access). Enterprise now uses Biometric, Encryption and some others forms of security to form the backbone of its services. The term "biometrics" is derived from the Greek words bio (life) and metric (to measure). Biometrics refers to the automatic identification of a person based on...

...Having a secure WLAN is very important, I would even go to say more important than a normal LAN. One way to secure a WLAN is to use encryption. This uses a key that will encrypt and decrypt data on the WLAN so only people what the key would be able to connect to the network. The encryption needs to be strong or a sniffer will crack the key so using a WPA2 would be best. Another way would be to simple change the SSID or ESSID. The reason this is a good way to secure a WLAN is because in most cases if you didn’t change the SSID a hack would think that you didn’t do anything to your network, making it easier to hack. “Though knowing the SSID does not allow anyone to break into your network, it usually indicates that the person hasn't taken any steps to protect their network, thus these networks are the most common targets” ("How to secure," 2007). The ramification of your WLAN being breached could be many things. The first thing I can think of is data theft and by that personal or secret information if someone can get on your WLAN. Also they could be trying to disrupt your network to cause damage or just want to ride on your wireless to gain access to the Internet. I think that stolen information would be the biggest threat.
