Introduction

An I.T security program, just like any other program in an organization, begins with objectives and strategies. The organization establishes security aims (objectives); how secure the I.T systems should be? Who should have access to the system? These objectives are then translated into possible courses of actions (strategies) that ensure the fulfillment of these objectives; How to achieve that level of security? The strategies are then written down as policies that govern the allocation of resources towards implementing security and the routine processes involved to that effect. This paper attempts to focus on the level of expertise, skills and ...

A programmable logic controller is a special type of computing device that is used to control industrial devices and machines. It can be taken to be a small computer which has been designed to work in an industrial environment. They are integrated with special input and output interfaces which are used to undertake the required communication with the external environments. They are programmed with the use of a control programming language (Erickson, 1996).
There are different types of programmable logic controllers. Manufacturers produce PLC in five sizes. These include nano, micro, small, medium, and large. These are categorized according to the ...

A Programable logic conroller (PLC) refers to a coomputer designed specifically for use in the industry.The PLC controls specifically a different process which is programmed with the instructions of the operational requirements of that process.Differenit industries use sequenntial processes respeective to their nature of operations.In relation to the sequential process used by industries depnds on the relays,timers,steping drum as well as controls which are necessary in reprogramming due to the changes in the nature of production in the industries.Most of the times the system has to be redesgned and the old one is scrapped off.The PLC control system was ...

The brain is divided into two hemispheres that work in a coordinated manner. In that context, the two hemispheres have been named the right and the left parts of the brain. While both sides have specific functions, research confirms that the parts work complementarily and that each plays a supportive role to the other. The brain works best in a coordinated manner with each side displaying dominance for particular functions. It is noteworthy that not any side can work independently and that coordination remains essential for effective learning and operations. On that premise, it is arguable that either side will control the ...

Pseudocode is useful in that it classifies algorithms in many instances. It avoids a state of confusion as the program is instructed what to do in any arising scenario. It is in itself a programming language that is written in a highly simple and unstructured language. As a result it can be easily transitioned to the main programming language. The flexibility is incomparable to converting flow charts to code. Second, it imposes increased discipline on the process of documenting detailed designs. Pseudocoding presents a situation in which the probability of attaining relevance between the design specifications and implemented program is attainable. Third, it provides a ...

Hundreds and thousands of philosophers have been working on creating a clear and understandable model of the world around them.Undoubtedly, this process is endless and as soon as any purely computational picture appeared, it would promptly become a part of another model (mythology, scientific theory, ideology, someone’s world out look etc.) In other words, it would be absorbed by more complicated and complete model. While philosophers and other scientists keep on broaden their horizons, other individuals are doing it in their own way. (Mosser, 2011).
Informal logic appears to be the most efficient way to make the process easier, ...

Abstract

This paper talks about the Nature of Philosophy and describes in detail the main inquiries of philosophy. An attempt has been made to explain areas that are widely accepted to be ‘main’ and of primary importance. These include the areas of Logic, Metaphysics, Epistemology, Ethics and Aesthetics.

The paper also delves into the approaches used by philosophers to address the numerous questions raised by each specific inquiry. These methods are described with respect to the modules of thinking or actions so used by contemporary as well as age-old philosophers.

The paper then goes on to explain how culture ...

Question 1

One fallacy is when some products are portrayed as being perfect or providing immediate respite in particular commercials. Obviously if one has studied logic, this is immediately dismissed and not taken into consideration although one can also attempt to rationalise and assess the quality of the commercial. Advertising executive who produce these types of commercials normally aim for the more gullible sector of the audience, perhaps those who are immediately impressed by such fallacies. It is obviously a bad assumption if one takes the moral aspect of things but it can be argued to be a good one (Quine, ...

1. The word “philosophy” means in Greek “the love/pursuit of wisdom” – considering the first Greek philosophers (the Pre-Socratics), what propelled them to pursue a new kind of “wisdom”? What were they unsatisfied with?

The pre-Socratic philosophers were referred to as physiologoi, meaning physical or natural philosophers. They sought to provide natural and rational justifications for various occurrences. The “essence of things” propelled them to pursue new king of wisdom by posing questions such as; where does everything come from? Can nature be explained mathematically? From what does everything emanate? As such, their concerns were ontology, mathematics, and cosmology. They were unsatisfied with the mythological explanations to the occurrences that were being experienced during their time and sought to provide reasoned explanations to natural occurrences.

2. How are the concepts of Lack (Poverty) and Resourcefulness (Resource) pertinent to Philosophy (and Love, according to Plato)? What does the philosopher lack, what resources does he/she have that enables him/her to attain what is lacking?

The concept of love depicts the fullness ...

Fallacies refer to mistakes that people make frequently in arguments. Most fallacies accrue from questionable premises, while others accrue from false dichotomy or slippery slope Fallacies make arguments less logical and lack the compelling evidence required to assure coherency and completeness. If an argument had fallacy, then the conclusion becomes false (Mosser, K., 2011).

1. The first fallacy concerns making hasty generalizations: Here is an example.

I have read books about Africa. The books report a great deal of poverty in the continent. Ayodo is from Nigeria, which is in Africa. Ayodo is therefore poor. The fallacy in this argument is because it assumes that everyone in Africa is poor. Poverty can ...

Introduction

The logistics management involves the supply chain management that is charged with the responsibility of planning, implementing and controlling the efficient forwarding and the reverse flow of goods and the storage of the goods. It involves all the processes that take place from the time a good or service is produced to the time it will be consumed by the consumers. These must all be done in order to meet the use requirements (Lichtenstein, 1996). There are several risks that are involved during the time a given commodity is being transported from the point of production to the time it will ...

This paper will analyse the a key political speech given by US president John F Kennedy in West Berlin June 26th 1963 commonly referred to as the “Ich bin ein Berliner” speech, literally translating as “I am a Berliner” although perhaps more amusingly making reference to a local food “I am a do-nut.” (Bruner 319-328) The historical context of the speech may be seen as an important factor in considering the importance of the speech as much as the words and language of the piece itself. To this extent, the speech was given in the capital of Germany a country which the United States ...

Introduction

Paraphrasing is one of the most important aspects of scholarly writing. Without paraphrasing, most of the articles will be mere duplication of other people ideas and the readers will have no interest in most of the writings. Through paraphrasing, it is possible to transform one’s ideas into yours while acknowledging the original writer. Notably, many potential scholars fail to practice the mannerism in academic writing leading to plagiarism. The aim of this paper is to paraphrase Patricia O’Conner’ paragraph and use the tools of Walden Writing Center to provide a discussion. In addition, the paper also provides a reflection ...

International Legal and Ethical Issues in Business

Abstract

For an agreement to be considered a valid contract, it should have four vital elements that include an offer, acceptance, intention to be under legal consequences, and consideration. If any of the mentioned terms are missing from the contract, it is not legally binding. Objective theory of contracts is a legal notion that rejects the enforcement of thelaw that appears to be too good to be true. The contract, according to this theory, is binding only if a reasonable person from outside will judge objectively that the offer has been made, and it has been accepted. The soft drink company, in ...

Question 1; where in the essay does the writer attempt to establish common ground? Do you think she is successful? The writer lays an argument when she introduces the aspect of safety; she does this by pointing out on the pros of switching off mobiles phones in class. Yes, she is successful, from the research; only one percent of the students misused their phone by not leaving them in mute mode.

Question 2: where does the writer state her position? What evidence does she supply to support this position? In page 191, the writer states her position when she ...

Introduction

This tagline comes from a popular brand of camera that can best describe the premise behind the YouTube viral video entitled Meet Me at Starbucks. Specifically commissioned by Starbucks, the aim of the video was to capture the very essence of human emotion for a purpose other than just invoking emotions. With technology or without, Starbucks has been able to capture the essence of togetherness among its customers of various age groups.

Since Starbucks was opened to business in 1971, it has carefully grown to become a household name. With the latest advertisement of Starbucks, it delivers the powerful tagline that is ...

The movie by Shaw titled Spartacus was documented and mentioned to showcase the lives of the slaves as early as the time and period of 73rd BC. It included the slave trade and the kind of life that the slaves were subjected and exposed to in Athens and Greek region as a whole. The irreducible and indisputable minimum was the right of the Romans to own slaves. On the contrary, what was up for debate or negotiation was the aspect of how to treat the slaves. Most of the people, especially the slaves, were captured or defeated soldiers, who were ...

In “Protect Our Bats,” Rodrigo A. Medellín, Don J. Melnick, and Mary C. Pearl make an argument that something needs to be done to protect North American bats. The authors discuss how disease and wind turbines are decimating the bat population and why this is detrimental to North Americans. Medellín, Melnick and Pearl make their arguments using logos, ethos, and pathos. Arguments based on logos are appeals to reason that rely on logic. In the article the authors explain why North America “can’t afford to lose these creatures.” They explain how bats are ...

The personality trait that tends to irritate me is that of perception, and it is under the Meyer-Briggs personality type indicator. I find it uncomfortable working with someone who can easily be influenced to change their minds when the going gets tough (Bayne,82). Introversion is a personality trait that is found to be irritating to a majority of people. The basis behind it being uncomfortable is the fact that an individual is never willing to share their troubles and blocking everyone around them from the internal beliefs and ideas. As a way of improving one's personality, simple measures like understanding ...

Institutional theory refers to the universally accepted posture that emphasizes on rational myths, legitimacy and isomorphism. It consists of policy making that concerns itself with the formal and legal structures of government. It is concerned with the resilient aspects of social structure and the manner in which such structures become authoritative guidelines for social behavior in institutions. In effect, institutional theory may be useful in explaining the stability of institutional realities that is sometimes occasioned in institutions. It is the case that for organizations to survive, they must conform to the beliefs and rules of systems that are subsisting ...

Lucien Levy Bruhl was a French trained scholar in philosophy who wrote about the primitive mentality in his work titled How Natives Think. He speculated of what he believed to be the operating mindset of mankind namely the primitive and the western mentality. He went on to describe the primitive mentality as one that makes no difference between the supernatural and reality. On the converse, he argued that the western mind makes use of logic and speculation. He also believed in the theory that there was a historical evolution that evolved from the primitive mind to the western mind.

In his speech of December 8, 1941 President Franklin Roosevelt addressed Congress to urge them to declare war on Japan and gather the spirit of the American people behind this effort. In doing so, he utilized the three pillars of rhetoric – ethos, pathos, and logos. By appealing to his credibility to speak on the matter, appealing to the emotions of the listeners, and appealing to reason he made the case for America to join World War II and fight the Japanese Empire. But Roosevelt was not the first American statesman to utilize these devices to make a declaration of ...

- Describe the basic issues in metaphysics and epistemology between Idealists and Materialists

Metaphysically and epistemologically, the philosophical view that human beings have both mind and body is termed as dualism. However, there is much philosophical disagreement (dichotomy) about the exact association between mind (spirit) and body (matter).

Idealists hold the view that the mind is distinct from physical objects while the materialists maintain the exact opposite. For the former, the self and personality are attributable to one’s immortal soul while for the latter, they assert that the mind (soul) is in some ways a product of the body. Furthermore, generally, idealists hold the view that the act of knowing takes place ...

Extreme programming (XP) represents a subtype of agile software development and is a software development methodology intended for software quality improvement, as well as increase of responsiveness to customers’ requirements that are constantly changing. It is a pragmatic approach to program development, emphasizing business results first and foremost and taking a get-something-started, incremental approach to developing the product, using continual revision and testing (Poole and Huisman, 2001).

Agile software development unites several software development methodologies that are based on incremental and iterative development, in which solutions and requirements evolve through interaction of cross-functional, self-organizing teams. In other words it can be defined as ...

Databases form the important part of systems development and implementation. The same resource is useful in fulfilling the business objectives in an organization and thus largely influences the structure and procedures of operation in an organization (Garcia-Molina, 2004). With the proliferation of technology and the use of more advanced intelligent systems in the realization of business objectives and goals, complex database are increasingly being developed. As such the power of having a large intelligent/useful database is a prerequisite for success (Epstein et al. 2008).

Innovation is the key to problem-solving. A database is the last resort we refer to in order ...

Part One - Computer Viruses Manual

Understanding computer virus

A computer virus is a term used to describe malware or basically, any computer program that has the potential of copying itself onto a computer without the intervention of other programs or users. Viruses include malware like adware and spyware, though this malware do not have reproductive ability (Amoroso 1999). A computer virus has a reproductive ability to regenerate itself and infect other computers or other applications within the same machine. A virus can spread rapidly over networks or insecure intranets. It can also be spread by removable medium like USB drive and CDs.

Vocabulary Strategies

Assessments

ELL/Special Needs Changes

Definition Copying

Definition copying involves forcing students to list vocabulary and definitions of words as they are presented (Phillips et al, 2003).

Checking the answers of students to determine if they have the correct definition.

Words would likely be simpler for special needs students.

Context Clues

Context clues prompt students to learn words as a result of their specific usage (Phillips et al, 2003).

Interventions could be given to see if students pick up on context clues.

Understanding context would be more difficult for special needs; extra effort would be required to give them context.
