Create a perimeter firewall, with an appropriate topology to provide the organisations services, including public web, and mail servers. The firewall should have a closed security stance, and provide public services in a secure way. Provide secure access to all devices, from the security management subnet. Additionally, research should be carried out into increasingly common Advanced Persistent Threats (APT), and ways to defend against these using network defenses. This part of the coursework will be research only and be confined to a part of the Research Section. You will be required...

...GUIDELINES FOR THE Practical Book Review: James Petersen By Jacqueline McCluskey Student ID: L24900116 Presented to Dr. Gordon Bals In partial fulfillment of the requirements of Introduction to Pastoral Counseling PACO 500 Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary Lynchburg, VA February 3, 2012 PRACTICAL BOOK REVIEW ONE: James Peterson My Summation In the first part of his book, Dr. Petersen introduces the reader to Flat-Brain Theory of Emotions. Through this theory, he explains how emotions, thinking and relating abilities work and how what goes on inside of us comes out in the ways we communicate and act (Petersen 2007, 8). It is through the Flat-Brain Theory that the reader gets an understanding of why at times it is difficult to communicate with others. Also through this theory he explains how when a person’s emotions go into overload how it affects the way they think and interact with others. According to Petersen, emotional and relational overload can negatively affect the ability to hear, see, and speak (23-30). Within the Flat-Brain Theory the stomach begins to expand because it becomes overloaded with different emotions. These emotions then press the heart functions into bricks in the chest, which negatively hinders the ability to relate. This then affects the brain causing it to flatten. The brain becomes pressed against the skull resulting in our thinking, hearing, and seeing to be off. Therefore, the flat-brain person can’t hear...

Parks Article Title: Photographer Eli Reed discusses Being black in America Retrieved from: utexas.edu Article Title: Talking about race Retrieved from: cnn.com Summary of Articles: In Parks and Jones article (2008), it focuses mainly on the usage of the N word. It reflected on the particular word’s history. It talked about how over time the word still has power but in a different enlighten as well as meaning for some. The article (Jones& Parks, 2008), make sure to reference the different ways young people use the N word. It also goes on to remind those of the derogatory meaning of the word. The use of the N word to some means nothing while to others it means the world. The article reflects on the trial and the defense’s two main characters. Jones & Parks (2008), talked about how powerful their testimony was and how much impact they had on society while taking the stand for the defense. However, the article “nigger’ a critical race realist analysis of the N-word within hate crimes law” (Jones&Parks, 2008), has several uplifting points and is a very educational, motivational article. Photographer Eli Reed took some great inspiration pictures of blacks in America. He wanted people to see that black people are not objects but they are people, they do have a life.

...need to be in compliant with Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) regulations. There are many laws that are governed by EEOC regulations but in this paper, I will review Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA). I will apply these two laws to the Gelato company hiring practice operating out of Heartland Corners, U.S.A. With the data I have, I will evaluate if Gelato is in compliant with the Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 for hiring black and other minority groups in the local area. I will also explore their practices of hiring younger employees to determine if they are violation of the ADEA. Lastly, I will make recommendations for compliance with the Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and ADEA if any or needed. THE ISSUE WITH GELATO Gelato is a larger cheese maker that distributes throughout the United States. Gelato is located in Heartland Corners, U.S.A. and employs approximately 200 hundred workers. Currently their employees’ racial make-up is 85 percent white and 15 percent other races. The population of Heartland Corners is 50 percent white and 25 percent African American with the other 25 percent mixed with Hispanic, Asians and other races. The question here is whether or not Gelato is violating Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by not hiring at the 4/5th or 80 percent rules used in determining if there is adverse impact on minority groups such as blacks, women, or elderly...

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited. MIL-STD-961D FOREWORD 1. This standard is approved for use by all Departments and Agencies of the Department of Defense (DoD). 2. DoD 4120.3-M, “Defense Standardization Program Policies and Procedures,” discusses the different types of specifications used by the DoD. This standard establishes practices for developing performance and detail specifications prepared by or for the DoD. This standard covers the requirements for "standard" performance and detail specifications, meaning specifications that are used on multiple programs or applications. 3. It is DoD policy to give first preference to developing and using performance specifications. If it is not practical or effective to use a performance specification, a non-Government standard should be used. If it is not practical or effective to develop and use a performance specification or non-Government standard, a detail specification may be developed and used, but only as a last resort. 4. There are two primary objectives for the changes to this standard. First, for the DoD to meet its military needs in the current economic and political environment, it must increase access to an expanded industrial base that can meet defense needs at lower costs with state-of-the-art commercial technology.

...Benny Lemaster WGGS 305 11 February 2016 Unit 1 Paper Having to define what it means to be Queer or Feminist is full of such significant detail, that before I had once overlooked. What deserves to be referenced as Queer art and or Feminist art? This ignites so many questions, that revolve around who that consumer may be. For each of us being consider Queer or Feminist may require a changed definition. For myself, Queer/Feminist arts boldly holds a variety of meaning. It is a way of life, a practice of immunity of limitation towards a performance of foreign approach without any structure of policing. The simplistic nature of Queer and or Feminist art can be easily over processed or over complicated. Asking yourself to climb out from under oneself understandably can be much easier said than done, but in this reality we have the control to loose control. Depart ways with once was and embrace the now. Queer and or Feminist art embarks on a journey of exploration to exhume these buried desires we all have that we have been ordered to mask. When we try to examine what is art we are in essence examining a part of ourselves within. Trying to grasp the meaning of a particular performance whether it be music, film, canvas, etc. is a movement of transition that purposely directs us on path of self recognition. Art can be utilized as a tool to dismember the inner most workings of oneself. With this new enlightenment we piece ourselves back together with new adjustments because we have...

...Leadership Without Easy Answers and The Power of Servant Leadership: A Comparison of Leadership Theories The world is changing. Business now engages billions in international currencies, and the constant movement of supplies and services, and particularly oil, chemical, and dangerous goods is essential. This traffic requires good collaboration between government branches like shipping, defense, agriculture, organizations, and corporations involved, as well as individuals and the community. Furthermore, expectations of a long-term career mean that leadership is a necessary discipline. Leadership as never just an academic discipline: it is a mix of the theory, tools, and applications that will give an individual the best chance of developing a winning reputation for themselves and the organization they work for. In a modern business environment the skill of building great relationships within and without the organization gives a strategic edge. Organizations are not only looking for renewable contracts, lower turnover of staff, and greater return on investment, they are also looking for individuals with vision who can understand what work is, and make it better. Who act with courage, competence, and commitment and yet remain themselves. The Power of Servant Leadership by Robert K. Greenleaf: The slogan “Servant Leadership” was presented by Robert K. Greenleaf in The Servant as Leader, an essay that he first published in 1970. In that essay, he said: "The servant-leader...

...The mental state of Poe affects his writing, and it appears in all of his literary work. The first is lost loves, the second is alcoholism. Edgar A. Poe has many lost loves in his life. He lost his mother at almost age three, his foster mother while he was in his teens, his friend's mother, whom he loved like his own mother. Poe also has a problem with alcoholism, he is allergic to alcohol and knows that if he drinks, he will become very sick, and sometimes even put himself in a coma state. The fear of being in a coma springs from the fear of being buried a live; some people at the time are buried a live because they are in comas, but everyone think they are already dead. Both the title and the plot of his 1844 story"The Premature Burial" illustrate this fear of his, alcohol destroys his life and his mind but eventhough he continues to drink. Although these direct ties can alone prove that Poe's life is reflected in his works, more evidence is provided about his life in his stories. He thoroughly incorporates psychology into many of his stories, which he knows a great deal of. He uses personal fears in his stories, along with characteristics of his surroundings. Even though there are many a correlation more than are stated here, the connections provide here suggest that Poe's writing are an outlet and an extension for his life. Poe's mother died of consumption when he was three and Bonaparte's mother died of a pulmonary embolism when she was only two months old. This similarity...
