...Week 9 Capstone Most businesses relies heavily on information an information systems for the delivery of services and management of resources and must therefore ensure that its information assets are well protected. Failure to adequately protect the business information assets through the implementation of appropriate security controls puts the business at risk. This policy applies to business records and all other information that is in the custody or control of the business. This policy serves the following purposes: * Provides a security classification scheme for the business information that can be referenced in other policies, guidelines, standards, and procedures relating to information. * Outlines the responsibilities that members of the business community have with respect to information security. Use of information means any access to, collection, storage, transmission, processing, or destruction of information. Custody of information means the keeping, care, watch, preservation, or security of information for a legitimate business purpose. Control of information means the power or authority to make a decision about the use or disclosure of information in a business records.

...1. Why is it critical to perform a a penetration test on a Web application and a Web server prior to production implementation? If proper testing is not done prior to production implementation the application and server both are open to compromise by hackers through the internet. 2. What is a cross-site scripting attack? Explain in your own words. Cross site scripting attacks focus on a user account input validation rather than application or data. 3. What is a reflective cross-site scripting attack? A reflective cross site scripting attack is when a single HTTP response is used to inject browser executable code. It is not actually placed in the application. 4. What common method of obfuscation is used in most real-world SQL attacks? They include character scrambling and masking, numeric variance and nulling, relying on an array of built-in SQL Server system functions used for string manipulation. 5. Which web application attack is more prone to extracting privacy data elements out of a database? SQL injections can be used to enter the database with administrator rights. The best way to prevent this is to use Java instead. 6. Given that Apache and Internet Information Services are the two most popular Web applications servers for Linux and WS Windows platforms, what would you do to identify known software vulnerabilities and exploits? A public domain by definition is far different than a systems PKI server. A public domain that stores certs...

...This issue paper will cover the subject of “Trying Juveniles as Adults”. This has brought up a very controversial topic that people seem to be very passionate about. The rate of minors committing horrendous crimes has been on a steady rise for the past couple of decades (DOJ National Report Series Bulletin, 2011). There are many differences between the court system for Juveniles and the justice system for adults. In Juvenile courts there are no juries and no trails by jury either. In adult courts the sentencing is much harsher and the chance of getting off the hook with some counseling is very slim. If a juvenile is defined as a person under the age of 18, how can you justify trying them in a court designed for adult offenders? Some juvenile cases get transferred to adult criminal court through a process called a “waiver”—when a judge waives the protections that juvenile court provides (www.ojjdp.gov). Usually, juvenile cases that are subject to waiver involve more serious crimes, or minors who have been in trouble before (nolo.com/juveniles youth adult criminal court). Being tried as an adult gives a juvenile more constitutional protections, but it also has disadvantages such as losing the juvenile protections as well. Depending on the crime of the minor, both court systems can punish the individual, but which court can give the appropriate punishment or the “crime”, not the age of the person committing the crime? The big question now is should we the courts show more...

...A Rock Trying to Be a Stone Rodney James Beasley Jr. ENG 125 David Moskowitz 11/24/15 Within my final literary analysis, I will be discussing the story “A Rock Trying to Be a Stone” by Sergio Troncoso. I will be applying critical thoughts by analyzing this story thoroughly. A Rock Trying to Be a Stone starts off very interesting. In life today we most of the people in the United States have experience bullying once in our lifetime. Either by a family member or an associate you work with. In all this is something that has to stop and is not healthy in our nation. It causes people to feel self-conscious about themselves or even go to the max by committing suicide. Or even the person during the bullying can cause harm to the bullied individual, and that’s what im going to talk about in my story today. “Shut up. Get me that other wire over there,” Joe demanded and pulled Chuy up to his feet and pushed him down the ditch tunnel toward the station wagon and slimy green water full of tadpoles and such (Troncoso, Sergio). Look at the above sentence and what is the first thought that comes to your mind. The whole set up of the story in down to earth and relates to things happening in the world today. The story is centered around four boys by the names of Chuy, Fernandez, Joe and Turi. Chuy out of the other three was poor and less fortunate, and the other boys took advantage of him by tying him up and treating him like a dog. They through him down in a ditch in a slimy puddle and stuff...

...just trying to get papers please • Organisational structures Within the process of strategy development the paradigm acts as a filter interpreting understanding of those within the organisation so that external forces and organisational capabilities have an indirect influence the strategy, whilst potentially having a more direct impact upon the performance of the organisation. One consequence of this process is that the organisation risks strategic drift if its understanding of the strategic context is at variance with reality. The Icarus Paradox is a particular version of this problem that can affect previously successful organisations. Never the less, an organisation’s culture can be a key source of strategic capabilities.

Hwang's Play, "Trying to Find Chinatown" Reality is what it is...real. To ignore any aspect of what is real sends us on a fool's errand and limits our exposure to ideas and ideals of individuals who do not meet our own "acceptable" criteria. This is part and parcel of the conflict spotlighted in the thought provoking play "Trying to Find Chinatown" by David Henry Hwang. The play centers on a chance encounter between two 20-something men on a New York Street. From the beginning their interaction is fraught with misunderstanding and prejudice. Ben, an out of town Caucasian is merely looking for an address when he happens upon an Asian, nearly his own age, working his heart out as a street musician on an electric violin. After showing his appreciation of the music with a few coins, he is instantly attacked when he asks for directions. The attack by Ronnie is full of insolence, malice, and seething hatred directed toward his "white" tormentor. Ronnie's tirade is peppered with profanity and frequent references to stereotypes of the rural inhabitants of the non-urban American South, twice referring to Ben as a "cousin fucker", completely ignoring Benjamin's own admission of being from the Midwest. Ronnie makes the assumption that due to Ben's skin color and rural background that he is the...

...The drama “Trying to find Chinatown” by David Henry Hwang, the short story “Brownies” by Z. Z. Parker and the poem “I, Too” by Langston Hughes all deal with stereotypes and how the characters in each work deal with them. While differently illustrated by each author, the theme is the same: overcoming the obstacle of stereotypes. In “Trying to find Chinatown”, the main character, Benjamin, is trying to find his roots and feel a sense of belonging. On his way he stops and talks to Ronnie a street musician of Asian descent to ask for directions. Interestingly, Ronnie greets Benjamin with less than stellar enthusiasm because he calls Ronnie’s instrument a fiddle instead of a violin. Ronnie blasts Benjamin with, “If this was a fiddle, I’d be sitting here with a cob pipe, stomping my cowboy boots and kicking up hay.” (page 1825). The anger evoked in this line is strong and little does Ronnie know that he and Benjamin share similar heritages. Benjamin is not only faced with dealing with an ignorant stereotypical slur but ironically so by the very heritage he has come to embrace and is looking to find solace in. Benjamin calls down Ronnie and tells him that “it’s very stereotypical to think that all Asian skin tones conform to a single hue”. (page 1827) Despite being told he doesn’t fit the mold of an Asian American, Benjamin goes on to find his place in Chinatown and “felt immediately…a world where all things were finally familiar” (page1829). Similarly, “Brownies” deals with...

Although we hadn’t made the playoffs it was still a big game since it was the last game of the season as well as me and many teammates last time playing together. As the bell rung to dismiss my class I could feel the butterflies in my stomach start to grow, nervous and anxious to play as I always was even though the game didn’t start for another 5 hours. I went on about my day as I normally would, went home and took a nap. After waking up and getting ready for the game I was finally back at school which is when I really began to feel the pressure. It was as if my heart was hanging by a thread, ready to drop into my stomach and join what felt like a million butterflies. With every step I took the gymnasium only grew in size, making me more nervous. We were all walking silently, my teammates and I, mentally preparing ourselves for what was about to take place. As we reached the entrance and took our first steps inside, all that was happening overcame me. The smell of popcorn from the concession stand, the sound of sneakers squeaking on the polished hardwood floors, bursts of excitement from the crowd. “We did it. We actually made it.” Was the only thing running through my mind. After a solid 5 minutes of walking we finally made it to our changing room, the sound of bags hitting the floor and zippers filled the quiet room. Coach came in followed by our...

...THE IMPACT ON THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM There are strength and weakness in trying a juvenile as an adult. One weakness is that adult prisons are more focused on incarceration. The juvenile will be treated as an adult within the prison walls and the crimes they committed are proportional to the offense that is committed. The juvenile is sent to prison and is required to serve their time without being offered programs that may prevent them from reoffending. Once that juvenile is an adult and enters back into society, he will most likely reoffend within three years of his/ her release. Another weakness is the juvenile being exposed to hardcore criminals. The juveniles are learning from the adults and learning new behaviors in which hardcore adult offenders expose them to. Conversations on crime, being tough and how to respond to violence are ways juveniles emulate adult behavior. In most cases these juveniles are not being watched and are being raped and taking advantage of. They have to learn to protect themselves from someone that is twice their size and eventually end up needing protection while in prison. These juveniles do what they can to survive in adult prisons with many committing suicide because of the everyday pressures they are faced with while in the adult prisons. Finally, the juvenile now has a permanent record and their livelihood when they reenter society is difficult. When the juvenile was tried as an adult, the court proceeding were not only open...

...Objectives of the paper: With giving an overview of what the monetary policy really is and narrating how the central bank formulates the monetary policies and takes the necessary steps for its implementation in Bangladesh, this paper targets to analyze the impact of monetary policy on the inflationary situation. Methodology: The study depends on I. Extensive literature review of external sources on central banks on formulation and implementation ofmonetary policy for the country II. Publications of Bangladesh Bank Scope of the paper: 1. First of all, monetary policy is a deep sea to swim through. Though Bangladesh practices and implements a limited number of instruments, the mix is always complex to grab the main idea behind it. Extensive analysis of the mix is beyond the scope of the paper. 2. Framing of indices of central bank policies is beyond the limit of this paper. 3. Structured data is hard to collect from the departments of Bangladesh Bank, so complex calculations and data analysis is deliberately avoided. Bangladesh Bank (BB): The central bank of the country, was established as a corporate body by the Bangladesh Bank Order, 1972 (P.O. No. 127 of 1972) with effect from 16 December, 1971 by acquiring the liabilities and assets of erstwhile State bank of Pakistan in East Pakistan.
