...ENGL101-1502A-08 Composition and Critical Thinking Phase 5 Individual Project Professor Steve Schessler Brandon Beasley May 11, 2015 Many cybersecurity jobs are highly important job with a lot of responsibility. While working for the government to secure the United States of America from other countries and hackers. The job is not easy. Actually it is very challenging and stressful. The responsibility alone can weigh heavily on one’s career if you do not take it seriously. This field of study has not been perfected and is improving every day. You must to learn to adapt to change when necessary. Cybersecurity is a standout among the most basic issues the United States of America confronts today. The dangers are genuine and the need is squeezing. In spite of the best plans of those included with past cyber legislative efforts, an administrative premise essentially won't work. It won't enhance security and may really lower it by giving a bogus level of solace and secures the private segment with obsolete regulations. The internet's element nature must be recognized and tended to by strategies that are similarly rapid. The effort of advancement is endless and still in work in progress. The United States of America faces huge cybersecurity dangers that endanger America's discriminating base, the flexibility that Americans exercise on the web, and the financial readability of United States of America organizations. The cybersecurity existing conditions is temperamental, particularly...

...Composition and Critical Thinking: Phase 1 Extra Credit ENGL101-1502A-03 Clifford Timpson, Sr. Colorado Technical University Chat Date: April 7, 2015 Subject: Chat Credit; Chat 2 Workshop on Essay My take away from the “Chat 2 Workshop on Essay” knowing your targeted audience. What do you want to say and how do you best display your intentions, your ideas, and your thoughts to include knowing your material. During my early experience as a military writer and latter part in my career, I learned “we do not write as we speak” and was taught “is there a better shorter way of saying something” to get the point across. I adopted the following; draft your thoughts and ideas. Organize, group your thoughts. Check for grammar, spell check, if there is an error within the first paragraph it distracts from the entire essay, document, or presentation. If applicable, review you’re a document the next day. Finally, try to eliminate as many questions as possible. Remember, to be short and sweet, clear and concise. Topics covered in the workshop included: Who are the intended readers (structure)? What are my reader’s expectations? What do I want readers to know, how do I express my words (establishing the tone) or do afterwards (reader’s role)? How should I project myself (formal/ informal)? Was the essay or document effective? As I move forward in studies and life I use my experience (though writing briefing and various reports) as I learn from this course I will use the correct formatting...

...Before watching the introductory video to professional writing class (like ENGL394), I thought that sort of writing skills can be developed in a real workplace situation. Maybe because I am a mathematics major student, I never knew like readable proposals and professional analysis mean that much in a successful project. I am sure this professional writing class will provide a very good platform for applying what we’ve learnt into workplace. As a college-level writer, I’m driven by my purposes when writing. As what I’ve learnt a lot about argument, thesis statement and position paper from ENGL101 last semester, the most important thing for a writer to do is present enough evidence to audience in a logical structure. I didn’t do very well in it because I constantly failed to focus on my main thesis, which made my paper seem less convincing. To solve this problem, I tried my best to write down a structure of my paper and kept that script with me. It helped me to check out how far I got. According to Lamott’s First Shitty Draft, despite that such process may take a very long while, a writer should spend time on rewriting his/her own work. In my experiences of writing every single piece of assignment, only after reading my works over and over again could I be able to debug them. Another thing I learnt from Debunking the Genius Myth is that the essential way to success in writing is by practicing. Through enough practicing, one can automatically respond to a certain problem...

...Walter Winnard Professor Storm ENGL101 September 20, 2015 Tranquil Oasis in the Heart of a Villa Tuscany Villa is a treat to the eye and imagining what could have taken place here is mesmerizing. Were those who lived in this villa inspired by the environment around them? Did they find it scenic and alluring, or did those qualities manifest themselves over time? Reflecting on what this villa has been through is fascinating and compelling. Observing what the author's intentions were is nothing short of intriguing. Could the sizable color contrast illustrated in this picture be more than just arbitrary hues? Was it the photographer endeavoring to elucidate philosophical ideas? The design of the structure is impressive and absorbing. On the first floor, the villa has columns and a hallway, and then on the right side of the first floor there is a wall. On the second floor, the villa has columns above the first floor wall, and a wall above the first floor columns. The first and second floors compliment each other despite being opposites in architectural design. It is truly an exceptional scene, with a touch of warmth and wonder. The picture displays a robust villa with tangible beauty and serenity. The cameraman does an incredible job of capturing a scene which is prepossessing, despite the villa's age and its notable wear. The photo only exhibits a small portion of the villa, since it is moderately close up. Focusing on the first floor, there is a doorway with a few rays of...

...Darius Crick Engl101 Professer Corvinis DEATH PENALTY The death penalty is a very strong subject in this day. thirty-two of the fifty states use this method but only nine of them have ever use it within the last ten years.This itself shows that the death penalty doesn’t work very well and for many reasons. it teaches and condemners nothing, its very hypocritical, the death penalty is usually always cruel, its more expensive to kill somebody than keeping them in jail, it also failed a a deterrent and prison itself is hell on earth. Each year there are about 250 people added to death row and 35 executed. From 1976 to 1995 there were a total of 314 people put to death in the US 179 of them were put to death using lethal injection, 123 were put to death using electrocution, 9 were put to death in a gas chamber, 2 were hanged, and 1 was put to death using the firing squad(http://www.statisticbrain.com/death-penalty-statistics/). The death penalty is the harshest form of punishment enforced in the United Sates today. Once a jury has convicted a criminal, they go to the second part of the trial, the punishment phase. If the jury recommends the death penalty and the judge agrees then the criminal will face some form of execution, lethal injection is the most common form used today. There was a period from 1972 to 1976 that capital punishment was ruled unconstitutional...

...Phase 2 IP Shonda Atkins Colorado Technical University This paper was prepared for ENGL101-1304B-36 Composition and Critical Thinking The iPhone 5s is better than the iPhone 5c, because the iPhone 5s has the Touch ID sensor that will disappear after you touch it, A7 chip with 64-bit architecture, M7 motion coprocessor. The iPhone 5s feature the new fingerprint identity sensor. Your fingerprint is the perfect password. The user will not have to memorize a password any longer. But beyond that, the sensor is located on the home button of the phone. The home button is made from laser-cut sapphire crystal; the surface of the button directs the image of our print to a touch sensor, which it reads just below the outer layer of your skin. A stainless steel ring is surrounding the home button that detects your finger, wakes the sensor, and improves the signal- to- noise ratio. The software reads the ridges of your print and finds the match to unlock your phone. The A7 chip was designed around 64-bit of architecture, a first for any smartphone. The 64-bit has been years in the making. Apple wanted to put a desktop- class processing power in the palm of peoples’ hands. The A7 chips give iPhone 5s the power it needs and capabilities it now possess. Its 2x faster than previous generation in CPU and graphics. With the support of GL ES 3.0 it enables visual effects that used in computer and gaming consoles. Yet with all this performance enhancements, A7 is still energy efficient...

...Kelvin Stubbs 02 September 2013 ENGL101-1303B-18 Composition and Critical Thinking DirecTV vs. Dish Network Through the years television viewing has evolved. Technology has supplemented our need to have entertainment right at our finger tips. Digital services now include streaming video, movies on demand, picture in picture and DVR technology (Digital Video Recorder). With most Americans living a fast paced lifestyle, no one has the time to dedicate to television anymore. Most Americans prefer to watch a show on their own time rather than watching a particular show when it airs on television. DirecTV and Dish Network are the two largest satellite television providers to offer these services. DirecTV offers better home entertainment and a superior DVR over Dish Network. With over 19 million US subscribers, DirecTV is the leader in satellite television services and for good reason (" How Many," 2013). DirecTV offers a better quantity of channels compared to Dish Network. DirecTV offers many channels that Dish Network does not. DirecTV offers channels like “TV One” and “The Audience Channel”. They also offer 20 more “channel favorites” on average compared to Dish Network. One of the most important channel additions includes the NFL Sunday ticket. While Dish Network offers many of the same channels, DirecTV offers a higher quantity of channels. DirecTV also offers better quality channels over Dish Network. In today’s society, people expect the same movie experience in the...

...Christine Chan ENGL101 Composition and Critical Thinking October 25,2015 HealthCare and Public Health Issues-Nursing Shortage Introduction When we are sick, we will go to the hospital. We want good quality of care but this is a challenge due to the shortage of nurses. Nursing shortage happens all over the world. The problem will get more severe. The population is continually growing, the demand for healthcare workforce increases. For example, while I was working in the operation room over the years, I witnessed an increasing volume of patients entering the hospital. Even though there is this demand, the administration department cut the staff number due to budget reasons. Nursing shortage affects the quality of patient care, increases healthcare staffs' stress, and affects staffs' job satisfaction. The quality of patient Care With advance medical treatment and good living environment, people live longer. In 2020 the demand of nurses is increasing but the supply of nurses is beginning to decrease. As baby boomers’ generation are starting to retire which will reduce the supply of nurses and there are not enough new nurses to fill the gap. With limited nurses, they may do the vital signs improperly, rush of judgment, or giving medication without fully check. A patient can develop an infection or bed sore with not having a nurse every two hours around to turn them. For serious result, patient will die due to not frequently round. A report by Ford stated that 18 mental illness...

...Phase 4 Individual Project CTU Online Professor M. Watson ENGL101-1401A-32 Lloyd Shaw February 3, 2014 Gun Violence What can we do about the increase in gun violence? In recent years gun violence has escalated and has become an epidemic not only in our communities, but all over the world. Something has to be done to decrease the number of deaths and injuries that occurs from gun violence. For a number of years now Memphis, TN, the city where I live has been nationally known as a city that is plagued by violence ranking second to Washington D.C. when it comes to violent crimes committed by guns. Studies released by the FBI ranked Memphis as one of the top three most dangerous cities in America. This year according to statistics, Memphis ranked second to Detroit and has some of the most dangerous neighborhoods to live in. Almost every other day, you can turn on your television set and hear about someone getting shot in Memphis. Just last summery brother and I became a target of gun violence. Thank God I didn’t get hurt but, my brother wasn.t so lucky. My brother and I were sitting outside in the yard when a person walked up and opened fire on us. I wasn’t hurt, but my brother was shot seven times but survived his injuries. After looking at these studies and statistics, it is evident that guns themselves, are not the cause of violence in our communities but the criminals who decide to kill and injury others. In finding a solution to gun violence, Guns should be taken...

...Problem and Solution Essay Final Draft Tammy.Starzyk ENGL101 By Joshua L Prout May 12, 2014 A community problem that I have noticed, throughout the many neighborhoods while growing up around Oxnard, California, are gangs, and the terrible violence that is caused by these domestic terrorists. Gangs have been a major common nuisance in urban neighborhoods. Many problems come along with gangs such as, violence, murder, drugs, graffiti and other illegal activities. Gun shots are heard around the neighborhood frequently so it is not safe to be walking around at night alone. Take a look at the so called “War on Drugs” that the government is not winning. Mexican drug cartels still do what they want no matter how much time and effort is put into it. Gangs have been around for a very long time now so I don’t think that there is ever a chance at this problem being solved. Gang members like to recruit local kids throughout their neighborhoods and also new members can be recruited during school also. They tend to pick up people that are young to put all their bad influences on them early in their lives. Different gangs conflicting with each other, causes innocent bystanders to be injured and possibly murdered sometimes due to their childish nonsense. The result of these actions has some harsh effects for these people. Death is a big part in these gangs. They kill each other over dumb reasons such as, living in a different part of town they don’t like, robbing...

...Although in prior courses such as ENGL101, I have identified and implemented appropriate research into papers, this course thought me how to synthesize and present research information. In the “Website on Health and Medicine” assignment, we had to identify three popular media sources and use evident from literature review to support or discredit the claims made by the media. I learned how to analyze research information and provide arguments using the information identified. The Review Article advanced this crucial skill. Through researching the affects of stress on college students and stress based intervention programs, I developed a better understand and realized the important of research in the professional world. Although it was challenging finding sources and synthesizing...

...roxanne Susan Barboza ENGL101-1501B March 2, 2015 Compare and Contrast Roxanne vs. Cyrano De Bergerac Although Roxanne and Cyrano De Bergerac are based on the same story, the nature of the characters and the ending in the two stories are different. People would rather see Roxanne and Charlie together and happy then the character of Charlie being killed as in Cyrano. In the following essay, I will be comparing and contrasting Roxanne and Cyrano De Bergerac in order to demonstrate how in the newer version, Roxanne and Charlie end up together and happy, whereas the original version kills off the character of Cyrano. I feel that Roxanne was a better movie because it has a happy ending unlike Cyrano De Bergerac that has a tragic ending. Isn’t it better to assume that the characters would rather have a fist fight than a sword fight? Isn’t it easier to accept the character as a firefighter rather than a French cadet? I believe so. To me, isn’t it more genuine to have the movie set in modern times in our country than Cyrano which is set in a time and place that no one alive can relate to? For example, the plots are the same, the ugly man wants the attractive girl but she is being swayed by looks rather than brains, but they are very different characters. Steve Martin’s Roxanne portrays love and happiness while Rostand’s Cyrano is a complicated and serious man, but both are similar in the way that...

...“Microsoft Zune versus Apple IPod: Which One Would You Choose?” Nicole Padgett Colorado Technical University ENGL101-1301B-34: Composition and Critical Thinking Professor Mark Watson March 25, 2013 Transportable MP3 players started showing up in the 1990s and have come a long way like all electronics have. The MP3 players came around because of having the ability to make the standard audio file able to be compressed into a smaller file with hardly any loss to the sound quality which helped the electronic industry launch this new ability of music enjoyment. The first businesses to take control of this new industry were Apple and Microsoft. Apple introduced the portable media player known as the IPod, a little while after Microsoft decided to enter the playing field with their portable media player known as the Zune. These two products are both popular media player and offers identical features; on the other hand they are very different in their own ways. The discussion of synchronization of software, features, and ease of use will allow us to determine which one the consumer would like better. Within this essay the Apple and Microsoft’s media player will be described in a short detail and then my opinion will be mentioned and explained why that choice was chosen. An important thing that you might look into when deciding on what media player to choose is the ease of use. The Apple media player device features an easy user interface which they call the click wheel...

...Google Drive vs. Dropbox Inc. ENGL101-1402A-03 April 23, 2014 Google Drive vs. Dropbox Inc. Being in college or any higher learning institute is a task all in itself. It doesn’t really matter what level we're at whether it’s undergraduate or going for our masters or doctorate. Being a student of any sort usually consumes our life and most of our time. Take for example, the essay. Whether it’s for research, compare and contrast, problem and solution or your standard narrative essay, we often are utilizing various files and resources to complete our required tasks. Many of us already have jobs and families that consume our lives, and that can take away from our academic responsibilities. This can be a difficult thing to juggle, but what if you could have your files, content, personal documents, movies, and etc. everywhere and accessible all the time. I am talking about cloud storage and its limitless potential to make our lives as seamless as possible. There are two really big names in the cloud storage industry such as Google’s Drive, and Dropbox file storage but which one is for you? Both Google Drive and Dropbox make excellent choices for cloud storage, but deciding which is best depends on your lifestyle, your finances, and your preference in features. Of the many services and apps that Google provides, Drive is arguably the best service it provides, well outside of Gmail. Having a Google account automatically gives you 15GB of free cloud storage. All of Google’s services...
