Victor and John work as software installers and program developers in the computer division of the Social Security Administration (SSA). SSA purchased software which was customarily installed by both Victor and John. SSA was licensed to make copies of the software for use by their employees during their employment, but not for resale to the public or for profit. Victor and John are also partners in a small computer business. Victor started using some SSA software in his business, without the knowledge or consent of SSA. He told John that he would use it only for testing and not for profit. However, the "testing" of the software generated profit for their business. John did not want to continue using the software without SSA consent. Victor believed the SSA would not grant permission and convinced John not to disclose their secret use of the software. Research business law in regard to software use using your textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet. Based on the facts of the case and research, respond to the following questions: What white-collar crimes, if any, did Victor and John commit? Explain each individual's crime separately. What ethical leadership and management violation has Victor committed? Explain. What legal protection is available to John if he decides to inform the SSA about the software use? Explain. .

Smartphones, the Internet, and rapid advancement of technology have come to influence all aspects of people's daily lives. However, as with any advancement in technology, there are always those who will misuse this technology for their own purposes—criminal and abusive. In fact, the developer of the ILOVEYOU worm, one of the most destructive computer viruses in history, faced no legal penalty in his nation because at the time, what he did was not a crime. This is but one example of many in which the law has been unable to keep pace with technology. In this activity, you are tasked with conducting independent research to identify specific legal concerns and issues associated with technology. In your independent research, you must locate 1 example reflecting crime and 1 issue reflecting a constitutional issue. You may refer to the following for inspiration: Electronic Frontier Foundation EPIC - Electronic Privacy Information Center Center for Democracy & Technology Crime Has Gone High-Tech, and the Law Can’t Keep Up Complete the following for this assignment: Conduct independent research on legal and constitutional issues associated with technology. Identify and summarize 1 issue discussing the relationship between technology and crime, with a clear identification of how the law has not kept pace with technology. Identify and summarize 1 issue discussing the relationship between technology and criminal justice, with a clear identification and discussion on the associated constitutional issues relating to technology. Include no fewer than 2 scholarly resources, 2 nonscholarly resources, and 1 legal case. .

10 Criminology in the Future Criminology in the Future Kristopher Freitag, Javielle Watson, Michael Westphal, Starcia Zeigler CJA/314 April 7, 2014 Judy Mazzucca Technology is advancing in every aspect of the criminal justice system, from the investigation to the prosecution of the crimes. Crime fighting methodologies have the potential to greatly assist law enforcement in the war on crime. Some experts even think that some software and tools will be able to help prevent crime. (Yeung, n.d.). Methodologies, such as mandating DNA collection programs, biometrics, and implementing cybercrime spyware programs are on the list of the next big things of the future, when it comes to fighting crime. DNA testing helps law enforcement investigate and prosecute crimes, as well as clear the names of those who have been wrongfully convicted. There are currently about twenty states with laws requiring DNA collection at the time of the person’s arrest. The federal government also has this requirement. As, with any controversial subject, DNA testing has its critics. Some are saying that DNA testing is in violation of the Fourth Amendment, especially for those who have not been convicted of a crime. Others are concerned that DNA testing may open the doors for abuse of the genetic information being stored in the databases. (Berson, n.d.). Biometrics are automated methods of recognizing a person based on physiological or behavioral characteristics. Some of the features measured using biometrics are handwriting, voice, iris, hand geometry, vein, retinal, and fingerprints. Biometric based solutions provide personal data privacy, and confidential financial transactions, and are starting to become the foundation of an extensive array of highly secure identification and personal verification solutions. The need for highly secure identification and personal verification technologies is great, due to the increased number of transaction fraud and security breaches. This need is especially great in the areas of local, state, and federal governments. Infrastructures such as electronic banking, health and social services, law enforcement, and retail sales are already taking advantage of, and seeing the benefits of biometric technology. ("The Biometrics Consortium", n.d.). As we become more and more dependent on technology, the increase of cybercrimes are skyrocketing, which has forced law enforcement to figure out ways of combatting cybercrimes. We have become extremely vulnerable to many cybercrimes, including social media fraud, which consists of cyber criminals using social media to steal the identities of unsuspecting people; and luring people to download malicious materials, or reveal their passwords; corporate security breaches, which consists of cyber criminals exploiting company employees via scams; and phishing, which involves cyber criminals targeting company employees by sending emails that appear to be from someone within the company.

1- An information security manager routinely monitored Web Surfing among her company\'s employees. She discovered that many employees were visiting the \"sinful six\" web sites (Note: The \"sinful six\" are web sites with material related to pornography, gambling, hate, illegal activities, tastelessness and violence.) She then prepared a list of the employees and their surfing histories and gave the list to management. Some managers punished their employees. Some employees, in turn, objected to the monitoring claiming that they should have a right to privacy.With this in mind, please answer the following two questions: a- Is monitoring of web surfing by managers ethical, (it is legal to do this)? -- Support your answer. b- Is employee web surfing on the \"sinful six\" ethical? Support your answers. 2-Discuss the idea that an information system by itself can rarely provide a sustainable competitive advantage. Justify your position. 3- Discuss why the Sarbanes-Oxley Act is having an impact on information security. Support your answer. 4- How are the network applications of communication and collaboration related? Do communication tools also support collaboration? Give Examples. (NOTE: there are two questions that need to be answered in your response. I will be looking to see if both questions are answered accordingly) 5- Explain why master data management is so important in companies that have multiple data sources. Solution Ans 1. a) Yes, monitoring of web surfing is ethical and an important duty of both network administrator and Information Security managers too. Any unethical use of the system can be detected only by scrutinizing the system. Though in the given scenario, some employees think it to be intrusion of their privacy but using organizational resources for their own private uses, and that too surfing pornographic sites, in office hours is completely unethical both professionally and morally. As the company must have female employees too and surfing pornography in front of them has high probability of causing embarrassment to them. Company has provided the computer and internet connection for official works only but using them for own personal use is at all not acceptable. Hence it is the employees’ duty to use office provided computer and internet connection for office works only and not to stray into one of the “sinful six” websites. b) No, it is not ethical on part of the employee to surf sites like “sinful six”. Firstly, the organization must definitely have female employees and surfing pornographic sites will definitely cause embarrassment to them. Secondly, the computer and internet resources provided by the company are for official purpose only. Wasting company resources and time on visiting sites related to pornography, gambling is not ethical for employees. Thirdly, several companies have clearly stated policies on refraining use of official IT resources on visiting sites especially related to pornography or gambling. Hence .

Case Project 2: Read the following Case Study and answer the questions at the end in paragraph form. XYZ Security Auditors was hired to determine if he could gain access to the network servers of a department store chain that contained important proprietary information. The chief information system officer (CISO) of the department store chain boldly proclaimed that breaking into the servers by the auditor would be “next to impossible” because the CISO “guarded his secrets with his life.” The auditors were able to gather information about the servers, such as the locations of the servers in different areas and their IP addresses, along with employee names and titles, their email addresses, phone numbers, physical addresses, and other information. The auditors also learned that the chief executive officer (CEO) had a family member who had battled through lupus which does not have a cure. As a result the CEO became involved in lupus fundraising. By viewing the CEO’s entry on Facebook, he was also able to determine his favorite restaurant and sports team. The auditors then called the CEO and impersonated a fundraiser from a lupus charity that the CEO had been involved with before. They stated that those individuals who made donations to this year’s charity event would be entered into a drawing for prizes, which included tickets to a game played by the CEO’s favorite sports team and gift certificates to area restaurants, one of which was the CEO’s favorite. The CEO was very interested in the fake charity event, the auditors said that they would email him a PDF document that contained more information. When the CEO received the attachment he opened it, and a backdoor was installed on his computer without his knowledge. Auditors were then able to retrieve the company’s sensitive material. (When the CISO was later informed of what happened, he called it “unfair”; the auditors responded by saying, “A malicious hacker would not think twice about using that information against you.”) Now pretend that you are an employee of that company and that it is your job to speak with the CISO and CEO about the security breach. What would you say to them? Why? What recommendations would you make for training and awareness for the company? Write a letter to the CISO and CEO explaining the breach and what steps are taken to prevent this from happening in the future. Case Project 3: Choose one of the following threats, use the Internet to research and answer the questions, and write a one-page paper on your research: DoS Attacks, Arbitrary/Remote Code Execution Attacks, Injection Attack Defenses, Zero-Day Attacks, Buffer Overflow Attacks. How do these attacks commonly occur? How are the vulnerabilities discovered? What are the defenses to protect against these attacks? What are some of the most well-known attacks that have occurred? ...

ABC organization has the fifty workers. The organization set up the unique passwords and username for the access to its network. Additionally, BYOD (Bring Your Own device) is authorized from the organization. Therefore, few workers of the organization take their gadgets inside the organization and make access to the network of the organization from their private gadget using the passwords and username of the network of the organization. The network of the organization is wireless, therefore workers of the organization can access the network of the organization at any place from using the password and username of the organization. Since the network of the organization is accessible to the entire workforce for the organization. Therefore, network of the organization is not secure. Any worker or person within organization can make access to the network of the system for her or his own personal sake and make wrong use of the network. 2. Specific Ethical Regulations and Cyber laws that will be appropriate to the organization and its computing functions Professional ethics: Personal ethics will be appropriate to the ABC organization since they are relevant to the security experts and finest practices. Ethics signify the policies that are applicable when the law does not relevant to a specific circumstance or does not give the apparent guidance for a specific situation. Organizations should become member of the CISSP to set up ethical regulations in it.

FIN 402 Week 3 Case Problems Case Problem 6.1 Sara Decides to Take the Plunge 1. LG 1 2. LG 6 Sara Thomas is a child psychologist who has built a thriving practice in her hometown of Boise, Idaho. Over the past several years she has been able to accumulate a substantial sum of money. She has worked long and hard to be successful, but she never imagined anything like this. Even so, success has not spoiled Sara. Still single, she keeps to her old circle of friends. One of her closest friends is Terry Jenkins, who happens to be a stockbroker and who acts as Sara’s financial advisor. Not long ago Sara attended a seminar on investing in the stock market, and since then she’s been doing some reading about the market. She has concluded that keeping all of her money in low-yielding savings accounts doesn’t make sense. As a result, Sara has decided to move part of her money to stocks. One evening, Sara told Terry about her decision and explained that she had found several stocks that she thought looked “sort of interesting.” She described them as follows: · North Atlantic Swim Suit Company. This highly speculative stock pays no dividends. Although the earnings of NASS have been a bit erratic, Sara feels that its growth prospects have never been brighter—“what with more people than ever going to the beaches the way they are these days,” she says. · Town and Country Computer. This is a long-established computer firm that pays a modest dividend yield (of about 1.50%). It is considered a quality growth stock. From one of the stock reports she read, Sara understands that T&C offers excellent long-term growth and capital gains potential. · Southeastern Public Utility Company. This income stock pays a dividend yield of around 5%. Although it’s a solid company, it has limited growth prospects because of its location. · International Gold Mines, Inc. This stock has performed quite well in the past, especially when inflation has become a problem. Sara feels that if it can do so well in inflationary times, it will do even better in a strong economy. Unfortunately, the stock has experienced wide price swings in the past. It pays almost no dividends. Questions a. What do you think of the idea of Sara keeping “substantial sums” of money in savings accounts? Would common stocks make better investments for her than savings accounts? Explain. Answer: It is not a smart idea for Sara to retain substantial sums of money in her savings account for the reason that she could potentially make more money by investing in stocks. For example, the average rate for a savings account is 0.06%, and if you invest in stock, you can make anywhere from 0-15% depending on the amount of risk you is willing to take. b. What is your opinion of the four stocks Sara has described? Do you think they are suitable for her investment needs? Explain. Answer: Three out of the four stocks are ok investments to make since there is so little information provided. I do not think the NASS is a good i.

Fieldwork Research: Primary Sources This assignment assumes 4 steps: Attend a live music making opportunity, a concert, or watch an entire music concert on YouTube. It can be of any music genre (see instructions below). Interview an insider of that culture Write a Fieldwork Concert Report Transcribe and arrange the interview (in the same paper) this the concert https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxjgqVsYu0g&feature=youtu.be ( kpop music is korean music ) first you have to make about concert report/ participant observation : Students will attend minimum one live or online music performance. The preferred ethnographic writing is that of a participant observation – meaning, you take part in the music making next to the performers, so that you can live their experiences. Sometimes this is not possible, and you will have to experience music making from the fan’s perspective, or just that of the spectator’s perspective – in the case of Western classical concerts, or if you are viewing a concert on YouTube. Your goal is to capture the performance, event, and situation, and meaning of the event to the people involved (insider’s point of view). In order to do this, please describe as accurately as possible: • The physical setting (stage, concert hall, audience) – you can draw a plan of the hall and/or take pictures, if allowed • The behavior of individuals and groups of people – both the artists on the stage, as well as the audience • Conversation and interactions between people • Sequence of events (before the concert, during the concert, after the concert) • Demographic survey (count or approximate how many people are there; offer information about their gender, age, professional background, education level – if possible). In trying to assume the audience’s socio-economic status, you can look at their fashion style, cars, etc. • Rationale of the event: for WHOM is the event held, WHERE was it held, WHEN did it happen, and WHY did it happen • People’s emotions, meanings, and beliefs (if possible) the second part is to make interview with 2 persons individually ( create 2 persons from your imagination introduce them and ask them these questions): Upon gaining access in a live performance event or an online music-genre specific chatroom, students will follow the steps below to conduct one interview with a participant in the specific culture/performance: 1- what is your reaction of songs? 2- do you like it? and why do you like it? 3- why do people like these songs or concert? 4- Identify the most expert participant member that you can have access to interview (“key informant”): for some concerts, it would be hard or almost impossible to interview the performer. In such case, interview an audience member/participant/fan that has most knowledge of the culture/genre performed or strong ties to the particular music tradition. 5.

Feminist & Empowerment Theories Feminist theory can be applied with Peter and Fernando to promote self-determination and problem-solving skills for their current and future challenges. Feminist theory states that patriarchal culture is concerned with power and oppression over minority populations (Adams et al., 2013). Specific feminist techniques include: an analysis of oppression and power, exploring client self-esteem and interdependence, and empowering clients (Sommers-Flanagan & Sommers-Flanagan, 2014). Patriarchy is damaging to males in society (Sommers-Flanagan & Sommers-Flanagan, 2014) and teaches ‘manhood’ where the dominant heterosexual culture views homosexual men and women as ‘others’ (Adams et al., 2013). This can be seen with Fernando’s father who has disapproval of his son’s sexual identity. In addition, Peter has taken on the responsibility of head of household while Fernando has taken on the role of stay-at-home caretaker to Jose. Feminist theory brings together personal and political thinking to increase the client’s power (Turner, 2017). When applying feminist theory within a relationship there is an emphasis on the concept of mutuality wherein there is a sense of respect, interest, empathy, and responsiveness experienced by both parties (Turner & Maschi, 2015). This fosters resilience through a two-way relational dynamic (Turner & Maschi, 2015). The use of this approach within the case of Peter and Fernando would help to foster resilience in the family dynamic through this emphasis on mutuality. By fostering empathy, respect, and responsiveness within the relationship dynamic will help Peter and Fernando improve communication through empathy and respect for each other’s perspective. Empowerment is a concept that is strongly supported by evidence in social work practice (Turner, 2017). Empowerment theory and feminist theory both provide social workers with the expertise to validate client experiences, support client strengths, and promote collectivism through mutual aid and support (Turner, 2017). Three dimensions of empowerment theory include: (1) a development of a more positive identity and sense of self, (2) build knowledge and critical thinking to connect personal and political realities, and (3) build resources and strategies to achieve personal and collective goals (Turner, 2017). Empowerment theory assumes that the client(s) are the expert on the issue at hand and have within them the strengths to overcome the given problem (Turner & Maschi, 2015). It is then the job of the social worker to connect the client to resources within their community and assist them in utilizing those resources in keeping with their identified strengths (Turner & Maschi, 2015). .

Felicia makes fabulous fried foods that she sells to family and friends. Felicia’s friend, Fergus, is interested in selling her fried foods using the name “Felicia’s Fabulous Food Company.” Felicia is flattered but does not have enough time to fry any more foods; so Felicia charges Fergus $125,000 to allow Fergus to use her recipes and market the food using her name. On March 10, 2001, Fergus and Felicia enter into a written agreement that provides: 1. Felicia will market and advertise the fried foods. 2. All food is to be prepared with no deviation from Felicia’s recipes. 3. Fergus will manage sales and accounts receivables. 4. Felicia and Fergus will each pay 50 percent of the expenses of the business, such as electricity, water, telephone, heat, insurance and advertising. 5. Felicia will keep two-thirds of the gross receipts and Fergus one-third. Ten years later, Fergus and Felicia had a number of disagreements and Fergus decides to leave the business. At the time, the business’s net worth was $857,000. Felicia argues that she owns the business and that Fergus, if not an employee, was no more than a franchisee. Fergus argues that he is Felicia’s partner. Were Felicia and Fergus partners? Explain and discuss the factors that lead to your conclusion. .

Federalism: Comparing Government Response in Hurricane Katrina vs. Coronavirus You will be watching two 50 minute documentaries: The Strom and Coronavirus Pandemic in order to complete this essay. Topic Overview : Considered together, Hurricane Katrina and Covid-19 both produced policy disasters in the United States that were both unnecessary and linked to federalism. These challenges produced by nature raise the question of whether certain disasters are beyond the capacities of state and local government. Objective : While watching these films, the central theme to take away from these videos is a better and more comprehensive understanding of Federalism, through real life evidence and explanation. Critically analyze each of the elements and consequences of each different national disaster, based on different level of government’s responses, actions. Leadership, communication processes, and decision-making. Despite, both Hurricane Katrina and Corona Virus being deemed as “national emergencies”, the power organization resulted in vastly different responses by each level of government’s leadership (across all levels: federal, state and local). Introduction to Federalism: State and Local governments are the first line responders to crisis. The institutions encompass not only the national government and the American states, each with their own distinctive histories, but extend down to the local level of counties, cities, smaller communities, and special-purpose entities such as school districts. Support and opposition for Federalism rests on government leadership, power, decision-making, and response to national disasters. Response is a geographic and constitutional matter of design. The principles underlying federalism create a power system where multiple levels of government (local, state, and federal) coexist in an organization of power that is both exclusive and shared, depending on the event at hand. Though the federal government has a vital role to play in advancing national priorities through the powers enumerated to it by the U.S. Constitution, our founders recognized long ago that many of the challenges our citizens face can best be addressed at the state level. The Constitution set forth means for strengthening national government’s power, intended to establish a more perfect union (Preamble). Federalism would be the new organization of power, between local, state and federal U.S. government, in order to the remedy weaknesses caused by the Articles of Confederation. Principles of Federalism Limited government States’ rights (10th amendment) Goals of Federalism: Foster cooperation Prevent Federal Intrusion into State Protect State’s utility as “laboratories” of democracy Central Themes to Focus on and Think About comparisons and discussion of struggles between local, state and federal levels of government according to how federalism has manifested into a power tug-of-war in authority division of power division .

Feedback for 4 Milestone Two: Research and Support Please address Milestone two’s feedback and include these changes when working on your Milestone 3 assignment. 1)Proposal Care Support The data you cite in this section supports that there is a nursing shortage. However, I would have liked to see you add more insight into what research shows on the impact this shortage has on patient safety and quality care. What does the research say about the nursing shortage and its connection with quality care, thus leading you to believe a change was necessary? 2) Value-Based Support While you discussed financial impacts of your proposal, you did not touch on value based reimbursement. How does short staffing effect patient care and then ultimately reimbursement rates received by your institution?Top of Form Bottom of Form 3) Data Evidence You listed an example of a quality indicator that MAY be effected by the nrusing shortage. However, you need to include data that the nursing shortage itself is an issue. How many nurses is your facility short? What is the nurse to patient ratio? How many openings are there? etc. 4) Strategies While you gave great examples of strategies that could be used to help improve the nursing shortage, are there any interprofessional strategies currently in use that would also be helpful? 5) Strategy Defense So what nursing indicators will be affected with the implementation of your proposal? See http://ojin.nursingworld.org/MainMenuCategories/ANAMarketplace/ANAPeriodicals/OJIN/TableofContents/Volume122007/No3Sept07/NursingQualityIndicators.html for a list of the Nursing Sensitive Indicators Additionally, while you wrote your own professional insight, I would have liked to see you utilize research to add support to these views and ideas. 6) Articulation of Response Submission has errors related to citations, grammar, spelling, or syntax Running head: RESEARCH & SUPPORT 1 Research and support 2 Nursing Shortage and the Need for More Nurses Research and Support Proposal Care Support Nurses are a very critical part of a health care facility. Nursing shortage is not just a problem experienced in the United States but globally. The shortage is as a result of high turnover, unavailability of potential educators and unfair distribution of the workforce. Healthcare organizations are therefore competing to acquire the scarce nurses in order to improve their delivery of quality care. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, more than 1.1 million additional nurses are required to address the shortage problem (Haddad, 2019). For an organization to effectively compete for the scarce nurses, acquire top talent and reduce employee turnover, it must offer an enticing compensation and benefits package. Organizations that offer great wages and benefits easily attract applicant and maintain the nurses they already have. My proposal to offer a better compensation and benefits package would therefore lead to an i.

Federal Budget Speech " Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you ." - Thomas Jefferson The federal budget spends close to four trillion dollars a year and is split between mandatory spending (what the federal government has to spend due to congressional legislation) and discretionary spending (what the federal government spends as a result of congressional allotment). Roughly speaking, mandatory spending accounts for two-thirds of the federal budget and discretionary spending accounts for one-third of the federal budget. Every year the executive and legislative branches debate budgetary priorities for the federal bureaucracies such as the Department of Defense, the Pentagon, the Environmental Protection Agency, Veteran Affairs, the Department of Education, and others. Many of these debates occur within congressional committee meetings as members of Congress, federal employees, outside interests, and individual citizens articulate funding requests. For the Unit 9 Assignment you will compose a speech advocating why your chosen department, administration, or agency within the federal bureaucracy should receive additional funding. Because the “world is a stage,” let us establish the setting, plot, and the ensuing action for your speech. Setting: Exterior: Washington D.C. State Capitol Building. Interior: Room 221B. Congressional Hearing Room. Plot: Imagine that you are in a cavernous room. You sit before a large table facing twenty one senators from the Budget Committee. Photographers, more than you can imagine, squeeze between the space that separates you from the members of Congress. Behind you in the gallery, public policy wonks and regular citizens sit, awaiting your presentation. You are a featured speaker from a citizen group that advocates a particular public policy funding concern for your federal department, administration, or agency. Prior to the meeting you have already read the president’s proposed federal budget for the upcoming year from the Office of Management and Budget and you have some budgetary concerns. You read in alarm how the upcoming federal budget request from the White House reduces funding for your federal department, administration, or agency. But, as you know, it is up to Congress to fund the executive bureaucracy. The executive branch requests funding and the legislative branch allocates funding. This is your chance to request more funding for your federal department, administration, or agency of choice. Action: Equally eager and nervous you stand in front of a lectern. “Now,” you think, “now I am ready…” You click on the microphone, examine your prepared speech about your funding request, and you begin to speak with eloquence and passion! Directions : Compose a 400 word transcript of your public policy speech. Select a specific example of public policy from one of the following fields: Economic policy – for example, U.S. budget deficit spending. .

Feedback developed by Estee Beck, PhD General strategies for peer response attribution to an unknown author The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of Peer Feedback Research in writing studies show evidence that undergraduate student writers are not familiar with providing adequate peer feedback, and instead rely upon mildly pleasant comments as a way to not offend a fellow student. At the same time, getting feedback is a crucial step in writing. Feedback provides insight from a detached reader, who may provide overall direction for the works-in-progress. Learning how to give feedback requires practice, patience, good reading skills, and sensitivity toward relations. But, students need training with how to give good peer feedback. How to give not-so-great feedback: Here’s a sample paragraph from a friend who has asked for some feedback on the scope of the paragraph. He’s concerned that the summary paragraph does not provide enough detail to conclude a section of the paper. for working within electronic computer Although computers & writing and digital rhetoric employ different methodologies benefits apply to classroom based writing practices along with research and scholarship, the ultimate quest provides insight into a knowledge and information exchange economy through and with digital technologies. As people make -mediated spaces, both fields form around a sense of searching for how people and machines interact with each other. While the advancements with digital technologies, especially with movement in the multi- million dollar Internet of Things industry, the relationship of not just human-to- machine interaction, but also machine-to-machine interaction will become important for rhetoricians to address. Again, understanding the function of rhetoric in algorithmic processes is just one step in support of positioning a rhetorical code studies as central to rhetorical scholarship.

These sources can include books, academic journal articles, and published expert reports. Whatever the exact form, academic sources all have in common the fact that they are peer-reviewed. Peer reviewed sources are written by an expert in the field and have passed review by other experts who judged the source for quality and accuracy. If a source is peer-reviewed, you know it is a good choice for high-quality, accurate information about your topic. Not all sources show whether they are scholarly relevant or peer-reviewed, but there are some clues you should check. · Look at the author's credentials. They should have an advanced degree and/or an affiliation with a scholarly organization like a university or a science foundation. · Look as well for a list of references or a bibliography. Most high-quality research is based on other research, so a good source will have a list of works the author studied as he or she was writing it. Check this list to make sure. · Finally, you can tell a lot about a source by looking at the publisher who publishes it. Scholarly sources should be published by a professional association like the American Medical Association; by a university, for example the Oxford Unive.

Faster Computing has contacted Go2Linux and requested a brief proposal presentation for migrating its systems from Windows to Linux. The company is specifically interested in seeing the following information: Based on your current understanding of Faster Computing's business, what are some potential benefits of Linux? The company is aware that many different Linux derivatives exist. Which would Go2Linux recommend, and why?
