METHODS TO STOP DIFFERENT CYBER CRIMES 1
Methods to Stop Different Cyber Crimes
People must be well-informed regarding internet scams and certain vulnerabilities, which permit them to occur sooner or later. With education, they will be in a situation to help in prevention of such scams successfully (Hynson, 2012). It is imperative for people to be familiar with attempts of cybercrimes and to comprehend correct solutions in internet practices and solutions. People will learn with education how to put into practice proper security protocols. When they develop into social media savvy people and when they learn how to safe guard their computer devices, cybercriminals will encounter multiple layers of security, which will limit their illegal activities substantially.
Firewalls have the capability to protect users and their network devices against cyber criminals in the first instance of a attempted breach (Lehto,2013). A firewall monitors the interchange between a local network or the internet and a user’s computer. The firewall should be enabled through the security software or a router. Cybercriminals will be unable to use the interchange traffic to install malware, which is intended to compromise the user’s network and computer. If more people would use firewalls, hackers would be at a chief disadvantage due to being unable to navigate deeper into a system to obtain sensitive information and eventually, cybercrime would be lessened for a time.
Users need to analyze their operating and online systems continually so they can resolve vulnerabilities (Hynson, 2012). Internal accounting information or protocols, which lead to financial information or bank statements, should be checked on a regular basis in order to recognize the risks and mitigate them accordingly. It is very difficult for people to curb the flow of cybercrimes if they are ignorant of the risks in which they face or the weaknesses, which exist within their systems.
One successful way of slowing the actions of cyber criminals is by acting like them. This requires law enforcement agencies such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to assign special undercover agents to gain access to clubs or groups of cyber criminals so they can investigate their steps (Hynson, 2012). The investigation method will become more effective by identifying the source of the problem and in developing a stronger strategy to cripple the efforts of the criminals.
Cyber criminals can hack into systems without difficulty when they encounter uncomplicated passwords. Users should use passwords with at least 10 or more characters so they can amplify the complexity of logging into the computer system (Lehto, 2013). It also helps top add in capital letters and special characters to increase the complexity of a password. In addition, different accounts should have dissimilar ID’s or password combinations to avoid giving hackers ac ...

Discussion 1:
Technological growth and the internet age has brought with it increased cases of cybercrimes where cybercriminals target personal information of governments, private firms, and even individual consumers. The value of data and its sensitivity to persons who own it have made cybercrimes and system intrusions very costly for the victims.
In 2017, Equifax broke the news of the system intrusion it had suffered as a company and the resultant exposure of data for approximately 143 million citizens of the United States. The other citizens who had been affected were UK citizens and Canadians, whose specific numbers were not revealed. The breach was noted to have affected online web application only with core consumer database untouched. The information targeted the names, dates of birth, residential addresses, social security numbers, and driver’s license numbers of the consumers.
The company responded to the breach by setting up a website from which customers would be able to tell if they were affected and the potential impact that it may have if their data was accessed (Nurse, 2017). Other measures included the company asking customers to register with their TrustedID premiere, which is a service used in credit monitoring from which they had to agree to a compulsory arbitration clause that would not apply to claims that may have originated from the security breach.
In the wake of the attack, and in a bid to forestall such attacks in the future, Equifax employed a new chief information security officer and rolled out comprehensive efforts to change their approach to data security. Equifax also invested more than $200 million on infrastructures that would help in securing user data, and the chief information security officer since reiterated that the company had allocated him enough resources to ensure they build hack-proof security systems. The company in the process prioritized fundamentals, and essential projects first given the need for an overhaul of most systems like vulnerability management and patching processes.

Landscaping
A local landscaping company that provides lawn-mowing, trimming and general landscape duties wants to get a jump on its competition by determining which houses in a section of town would best respond to marketing materials. A measure of which homeowners to approach would include their income, size of their yard and compare that against historical data on which homes have had landscaping services.
You were able to dig up a random sample of 30 households, given in the file Landscaping.xls. Using Excel, create a scatter plot of Lot Size vs. Income, color coded by the outcome variable Yes/No. Make sure to obtain a well-formatted plot (remove excessive background and gridlines; create legible labels and a legend, etc.). Hint: First sort the data by the outcome variable, and then plot the data for each category as separate series. Create the same plot, this time using Tableau. Compare the two processes of generating the plot in terms of effort as well as the quality of the resulting plots. What are the advantages of each? Explain.

Computers play a big part in crime. They're used to commit crime, unfortunately. But
they are also used to solve crimes. This should come as no surprise since computers
are by now such an integral player in every part of our lives. Computers are involved in
two ways in the commission of crime: as targets and as weapons or tools. A computer
or network is a target when someone wants to bring it down or make it malfunction, as
in a denial-of-service attack or a computer virus infection. Crimes that use a computer
as a weapon or tool would include acts such as changing computer records to com-
mit embezzlement, breaking into a computer system to damage information, and steal-
ing information like customer lists. See Figure H.l for examples of computer-related
offenses in which computers are used as weapons/tools and targets of crime.
Some crimes are clearly what we call computer crimes, like Web defacing, denial-of-
service attacks, e-mail scams, and so on. But as is the case in so many parts of our modern
lives, computers are also so integrated into crime that it's hard to separate them ou ...

Information Security Issues Faced by Organizations In any organization, Information Security threats may be many like Software assaults, theft of intellectual belongings, identity robbery, theft of gadget or statistics, sabotage, and facts extortion. A risk can be something which could take gain of a vulnerability to breach security and negatively adjust, erase, damage object or gadgets of interest. Software attacks imply an attack by Viruses, Worms, Trojan Horses and so forth. Many customers consider that malware, virus, worms, bots are all the same matters. But they're now not identical, the simplest similarity is that they all are malicious software program that behaves differently. Apart from these threats, there are some headache information security threats they are: Cyberattack Threats: - Cyber-attacks are, of course, establishments’ pinnacle problem. There are many methods cybercriminals can target companies. Each will motive distinct types of harm and need to be defended in opposition to in one-of-a-kind methods. Some attacks, consisting of phishing campaigns, are typically designed to thieve private information. Others, such as ransomware and denial-of-carrier assaults, have several feasible pursuits, ranging from extorting cash to disrupting business operations for political reasons. Cyber threats, unfortunately, are getting an increasing number of risks in these days clever international. But what precisely is cyber risk? A cyber threat is an act or viable act which intends to scouse borrow records (non-public or in any other case), damage records or motive a few types of digital damage. Today, the time period is nearly exclusively used to explain records safety topics. Because it’s tough to visualize how digital signals touring throughout a cord can represent an assault, we’ve taken to visualizing the virtual phenomenon as a bodily one. A cyber-attack is an assault this is hooked up in opposition to a corporation (that means our digital gadgets) making use of cyberspace. Cyberspace, a digital space that doesn’t exist, has grown to be the metaphor to assist us to understand virtual weaponry that intends to harm us. What is actual, but, is the purpose of the attacker as well as the potential impact. While many cyberattacks are mere nuisances, a few are quite serious, even potentially threatening human lives. Malware: - Software that plays a malicious project on a goal tool or community, e.g. Corrupting facts or taking on a machine. Ransomware: - An attack that involves encrypting information on the goal system and traumatic a ransom in alternate for letting the consumer has got right of entry to the facts again. These assaults range from low-level nuisances to severe incidents just like the locking do.

Introduction
Over the past years, there have been increasing cases of information security threats. As the information technology professionals stay up to date with the latest technologies, they navigate through complicated playing field. There has been a newly introduced terminology that has brought a lot of confusion in the area of technology. This paper focuses on the background of information security. It also looks at the information technology threats as well as the importance of planning policies to mitigate these risks.
History of Information Security
The computers were initially created to facilitate the swift exchange of information from one person to another (Jouini, 2014). The initial information technology infrastructure was created around the mainframe computers while others were established around the personal computers. At first, it seemed impossible to advance these computers to the present generation computers and information technology gadgets. However, as information technology revolutionize, new avenues are opening for the possibility of crimes. Cyber criminals take advantage of these opportunities to steal the passwords of the computers and get access to the private information as well as make devastating effects on computers and networks.
The nature of the use of computers has changed over the years. Various networks have been developed to enable the sharing and circulation of information and data. Regulating the access to these possessions is problematic as one need to stabilize the need for access to free information with the value of the content of the data he or she receives (Layton, 2016). Most of the information today is very sensitive while others are not. The information technology has today progressed over just the usernames and passwords. The field today encompasses digital strategies, the process of biometric identification and integrated security strategies.
The Need for Security
Many organizations agree that putting up the policies for information security is expensive and time-consuming. Most users also get interrupted by the substantial security policies that complicate their works and in turn develop bad politics within organizations (Omar, 2017). As such, it is essential to plan an audit policy on large networks that may consume a lot of time and money. Most users believe that there is no need to implement the security policies if there is no secret work done.
Developing a poor security plan can lead to detrimental effects and even devastating disasters. A password policy which enables the users to use weak or poor passwords is the paradise for the hackers (Von Solms, 2013). The absence of firewall or protection for the proxy between the firm and the local area network is a loophole for the company to become a cybercrime target.
Organizations should figure out the amount it may take them to efficiently implement the information security policies to safeguard their information as well as their ass.
In the modern-day climate, more and more industries have had to increase IT security
expenses to provide a trusted system of security to all client/company PII from unauthorized users. The massive spike in IT security spending was brought on by the recent cyber breach on Equifax, in which millions of clients’ PII was accessed and distributed by an unauthorized user infiltrating the system. Like the Equifax attack, so many of these attacks require user-interaction to be activated or spread, so organizations must be on the forefront of understanding the internal threats of their own employees can impose.
It seems like we've been hearing a lot about phishing in the news in recent years, and this threat hasn't abated yet. Why are attacks via phishing -and social engineering in general -so prevalent and so effective? This whitepaper examines the many different methods employed in phishing attacks and social engineering campaigns, and offers a solution-based approach to mitigating risk from these attack vectors.
A Multi-Layer Real Time Remote Monitoring & Corporate Network System For Viru...ijccsa
Corporations face a dangerous threat that existing security technologies do not adequately address, which includes malware, track ware and adware, describes any program that may track online and/or offline PC activity and locally saves or transmits those findings to third parties without user’s knowledge or consent. The same activities that make our employees efficient and productive doing research over the internet, sharing files, sending instant messages to customers and coworkers, and emailing status information while travelling are making our IT infrastructures vulnerable to mobile malicious code, Spyware, viruses, Trojan horses, phishing, and pharming. Gateway firewalls and antivirus software is no match for these new, virulent threats. To ensure the needed protection, organizations need to incorporate content level protection into their overall security strategies. As web-borne threats become more complex and virulent, companies must face the need to supplement their existing, traditional security measures. So, in this paper, we will highlight about our work which attempts to keep a real time track of each events of the client’s behavior inside a network.

CERT STRATEGY TO DEAL WITH PHISHING ATTACKScsandit
Every day, internet thieves employ new ways to obtain personal identity people and get access
to their personal information. Phishing is a somehow complex method that has recently been
considered by internet thieves. First, the present study aims to explain phishing, and why an
organization should deal with it and its challenges of providing. In addition, different kinds of
this attack and classification of security approaches for organizational and lay users are
addressed in this article. Finally, the CERT strategy – which relies on three principles of
informing, supporting and helping- is presented to deal with phishing and studying some antiphishing.
Top Positive and Negative Impacts of AI & ML on CybersecurityPixel Crayons
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) technologies have many positive applications, from helping researchers better understand neural pathways in the brain to assisting law enforcement with identifying suspects in criminal investigations.
They are renowned for the greater good of cybersecurity. However, these technologies also hold the potential to ruin our perfectly running digital world and become a source of power to the dark web users/administrators.
If you’re not familiar with how AI and ML might impact cybersecurity, this blog will discuss both sides of the coin and help you better understand how this technology might affect you one day soon.
Under the right hands, they are a boon to humanity, but they can quickly turn into a bane on the corrupt hands.
As for now, upgrade your security with these technologies to stay in the competition. Connect with a Machine Learning company in India to maximize your cybersecurity.

Location Problem
George Heller was so successful in his previous assignment that he was promoted to the coveted position of Infrastructure Manager on the Mergers and Acquisitions Team.
Again Agame has recently acquired a competitive company with a plant and a warehouse in a nearby city. Management has decided to keep the additional warehouse. However, they are unsure if they need to keep the additional manufacturing plant. All products can be manufactured in either plant and shipped from either warehouse. Each plant and each warehouse has sufficient capacity to meet the total forecasted demand individually.
Prepare a report for management with your recommendation. Three possible choices exist. 1) Close the Competitor plant and satisfy all demand from the Again Agame plant; 2) Close the Again Agame plant and satisfy all demand from the Competitor plant; 3)Keep both plants open.
Your recommendation should include a solution for each of the five years in question. Include your calculations and spreadsheets in support of your recommendations.

A local landscaping company that provides lawn-mowing, trimming and general landscape duties wants to get a jump on its competition by determining which houses in a section of town would best respond to marketing materials. A measure of which homeowners to approach would include their income, size of their yard and compare that against historical data on which homes have had landscaping services.
You were able to dig up a random sample of 30 households, given in the file Landscaping.xls. Using Excel, create a scatter plot of Lot Size vs. Income, color coded by the outcome variable Yes/No. Make sure to obtain a well-formatted plot (remove excessive background and gridlines; create legible labels and a legend, etc.). Hint: First sort the data by the outcome variable, and then plot the data for each category as separate series. Create the same plot, this time using Tableau. Compare the two processes of generating the plot in terms of effort as well as the quality of the resulting plots. What are the advantages of each? Explain.

Computers play a big part in crime. They're used to commit crime, unfortunately. But
they are also used to solve crimes. This should come as no surprise since computers
are by now such an integral player in every part of our lives. Computers are involved in
two ways in the commission of crime: as targets and as weapons or tools. A computer
or network is a target when someone wants to bring it down or make it malfunction, as
in a denial-of-service attack or a computer virus infection. Crimes that use a computer
as a weapon or tool would include acts such as changing computer records to com-
mit embezzlement, breaking into a computer system to damage information, and steal-
ing information like customer lists. See Figure H.l for examples of computer-related
offenses in which computers are used as weapons/tools and targets of crime.
Some crimes are clearly what we call computer crimes, like Web defacing, denial-of-
service attacks, e-mail scams, and so on. But as is the case in so many parts of our modern
lives, computers are also so integrated into crime that it's hard to separate them ou ...

Information Security Issues Faced by Organizations In any organization, Information Security threats may be many like Software assaults, theft of intellectual belongings, identity robbery, theft of gadget or statistics, sabotage, and facts extortion. A risk can be something which could take gain of a vulnerability to breach security and negatively adjust, erase, damage object or gadgets of interest. Software attacks imply an attack by Viruses, Worms, Trojan Horses and so forth. Many customers consider that malware, virus, worms, bots are all the same matters. But they're now not identical, the simplest similarity is that they all are malicious software program that behaves differently. Apart from these threats, there are some headache information security threats they are: Cyberattack Threats: - Cyber-attacks are, of course, establishments’ pinnacle problem. There are many methods cybercriminals can target companies. Each will motive distinct types of harm and need to be defended in opposition to in one-of-a-kind methods. Some attacks, consisting of phishing campaigns, are typically designed to thieve private information. Others, such as ransomware and denial-of-carrier assaults, have several feasible pursuits, ranging from extorting cash to disrupting business operations for political reasons. Cyber threats, unfortunately, are getting an increasing number of risks in these days clever international. But what precisely is cyber risk? A cyber threat is an act or viable act which intends to scouse borrow records (non-public or in any other case), damage records or motive a few types of digital damage. Today, the time period is nearly exclusively used to explain records safety topics. Because it’s tough to visualize how digital signals touring throughout a cord can represent an assault, we’ve taken to visualizing the virtual phenomenon as a bodily one. A cyber-attack is an assault this is hooked up in opposition to a corporation (that means our digital gadgets) making use of cyberspace. Cyberspace, a digital space that doesn’t exist, has grown to be the metaphor to assist us to understand virtual weaponry that intends to harm us. What is actual, but, is the purpose of the attacker as well as the potential impact. While many cyberattacks are mere nuisances, a few are quite serious, even potentially threatening human lives. Malware: - Software that plays a malicious project on a goal tool or community, e.g. Corrupting facts or taking on a machine. Ransomware: - An attack that involves encrypting information on the goal system and traumatic a ransom in alternate for letting the consumer has got right of entry to the facts again. These assaults range from low-level nuisances to severe incidents just like the locking do.

Introduction
Over the past years, there have been increasing cases of information security threats. As the information technology professionals stay up to date with the latest technologies, they navigate through complicated playing field. There has been a newly introduced terminology that has brought a lot of confusion in the area of technology. This paper focuses on the background of information security. It also looks at the information technology threats as well as the importance of planning policies to mitigate these risks.
History of Information Security
The computers were initially created to facilitate the swift exchange of information from one person to another (Jouini, 2014). The initial information technology infrastructure was created around the mainframe computers while others were established around the personal computers. At first, it seemed impossible to advance these computers to the present generation computers and information technology gadgets. However, as information technology revolutionize, new avenues are opening for the possibility of crimes. Cyber criminals take advantage of these opportunities to steal the passwords of the computers and get access to the private information as well as make devastating effects on computers and networks.
The nature of the use of computers has changed over the years. Various networks have been developed to enable the sharing and circulation of information and data. Regulating the access to these possessions is problematic as one need to stabilize the need for access to free information with the value of the content of the data he or she receives (Layton, 2016). Most of the information today is very sensitive while others are not. The information technology has today progressed over just the usernames and passwords. The field today encompasses digital strategies, the process of biometric identification and integrated security strategies.
The Need for Security
Many organizations agree that putting up the policies for information security is expensive and time-consuming. Most users also get interrupted by the substantial security policies that complicate their works and in turn develop bad politics within organizations (Omar, 2017). As such, it is essential to plan an audit policy on large networks that may consume a lot of time and money. Most users believe that there is no need to implement the security policies if there is no secret work done.
Developing a poor security plan can lead to detrimental effects and even devastating disasters. A password policy which enables the users to use weak or poor passwords is the paradise for the hackers (Von Solms, 2013). The absence of firewall or protection for the proxy between the firm and the local area network is a loophole for the company to become a cybercrime target.
Organizations should figure out the amount it may take them to efficiently implement the information security policies to safeguard their information as well as their ass.
In the modern-day climate, more and more industries have had to increase IT security
expenses to provide a trusted system of security to all client/company PII from unauthorized users. The massive spike in IT security spending was brought on by the recent cyber breach on Equifax, in which millions of clients’ PII was accessed and distributed by an unauthorized user infiltrating the system. Like the Equifax attack, so many of these attacks require user-interaction to be activated or spread, so organizations must be on the forefront of understanding the internal threats of their own employees can impose.
It seems like we've been hearing a lot about phishing in the news in recent years, and this threat hasn't abated yet. Why are attacks via phishing -and social engineering in general -so prevalent and so effective? This whitepaper examines the many different methods employed in phishing attacks and social engineering campaigns, and offers a solution-based approach to mitigating risk from these attack vectors.
A Multi-Layer Real Time Remote Monitoring & Corporate Network System For Viru...ijccsa
Corporations face a dangerous threat that existing security technologies do not adequately address, which includes malware, track ware and adware, describes any program that may track online and/or offline PC activity and locally saves or transmits those findings to third parties without user’s knowledge or consent. The same activities that make our employees efficient and productive doing research over the internet, sharing files, sending instant messages to customers and coworkers, and emailing status information while travelling are making our IT infrastructures vulnerable to mobile malicious code, Spyware, viruses, Trojan horses, phishing, and pharming. Gateway firewalls and antivirus software is no match for these new, virulent threats. To ensure the needed protection, organizations need to incorporate content level protection into their overall security strategies. As web-borne threats become more complex and virulent, companies must face the need to supplement their existing, traditional security measures. So, in this paper, we will highlight about our work which attempts to keep a real time track of each events of the client’s behavior inside a network.

CERT STRATEGY TO DEAL WITH PHISHING ATTACKScsandit
Every day, internet thieves employ new ways to obtain personal identity people and get access
to their personal information. Phishing is a somehow complex method that has recently been
considered by internet thieves. First, the present study aims to explain phishing, and why an
organization should deal with it and its challenges of providing. In addition, different kinds of
this attack and classification of security approaches for organizational and lay users are
addressed in this article. Finally, the CERT strategy – which relies on three principles of
informing, supporting and helping- is presented to deal with phishing and studying some antiphishing.
Top Positive and Negative Impacts of AI & ML on CybersecurityPixel Crayons
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) technologies have many positive applications, from helping researchers better understand neural pathways in the brain to assisting law enforcement with identifying suspects in criminal investigations.
They are renowned for the greater good of cybersecurity. However, these technologies also hold the potential to ruin our perfectly running digital world and become a source of power to the dark web users/administrators.
If you’re not familiar with how AI and ML might impact cybersecurity, this blog will discuss both sides of the coin and help you better understand how this technology might affect you one day soon.
Under the right hands, they are a boon to humanity, but they can quickly turn into a bane on the corrupt hands.
As for now, upgrade your security with these technologies to stay in the competition. Connect with a Machine Learning company in India to maximize your cybersecurity.

Location Problem
George Heller was so successful in his previous assignment that he was promoted to the coveted position of Infrastructure Manager on the Mergers and Acquisitions Team.
Again Agame has recently acquired a competitive company with a plant and a warehouse in a nearby city. Management has decided to keep the additional warehouse. However, they are unsure if they need to keep the additional manufacturing plant. All products can be manufactured in either plant and shipped from either warehouse. Each plant and each warehouse has sufficient capacity to meet the total forecasted demand individually.
Prepare a report for management with your recommendation. Three possible choices exist. 1) Close the Competitor plant and satisfy all demand from the Again Agame plant; 2) Close the Again Agame plant and satisfy all demand from the Competitor plant; 3)Keep both plants open.
Your recommendation should include a solution for each of the five years in question. Include your calculations and spreadsheets in support of your recommendations.

Before a firm does business in Mexico it is imperative to understand the achievements
and pitfalls of its cultural, economic, and political forces. Although Mexico has improved
substantially with its technological development, investment policies, foreign exchange policies,
and tariffs, it still has significant pitfalls when it comes to honoring contracts, legal framework,
and enforcing laws.
The cultural forces of Mexico are largely dependent on social structure. Mexicans respect
authority and look to those above them for guidance and decision-making. This makes it
important to know which person is in charge, and leads to an authoritarian approach to decision-
making and problem solving. Since 92.7% of the total population in Mexico speaks Spanish
only, it will be beneficial to learn Spanish or have a translator at hand at all times. Shared culture
makes it easier to market and sell goods and services.
The economic forces in Mexico offer both favorable and unfavorable qualities. Mexico is
currently the second largest export market for U.S. goods. Some of the greatest achievements of
economic forces include physical infrastructures, telecommunication systems, production
capabilities, and technology. The unfavorable qualities of the economic forces include high
employment rate and unskilled labor.
The political forces in Mexico also play a great role in opportunities and pitfalls. The
opportunities include efficient settlements to disputes and reasonable trade regulations and
standards. The pitfalls include wars and terrorism caused by the drug wars and cartels.
There are numerous opportunities for firms in the Textiles and Clothing industry of
Mexico. A firm should be knowledgeable about the cultural differences in Mexican people in
Mexico, Page 3
order to undergo business successfully. A firm should also be aware of the potential profit
Mexico has to offer, as well as the potential problems. To conclude from this research, U.S.
firms should enter the Textiles and Clothing industry in Mexico because there are a lot of
opportunities and the Mexican economy will further expand in the near future.

In an ever-changing world, intercultural business communication is one of the most vital aspects of carrying out business in foreign countries. We are set up to fail if we enter into foreign business agreements blindly. In the absence of proper communication skills, cultural awareness comes into play knowing the culture in which we are dealing. All of your concepts you may have grown up with and ideas that you have formed beforehand need to be thrown away and cast to the side. Your concepts and ideas in these business meetings will only be as effective as your communication skills. If your communications skills are weak so will be your presentation of your projected business plan. If I was going to develop a training program on the same, my lesson plan would look as illustrated below:
I. Class Objectives: The goals or objectives for class include understanding how language affects intercultural business communications and learning about different cultures and how they communicate when conducting business activities.
II. Connection to Course Goals: The class’s daily objectives will connect to the overall course goals by dealing with one topic at a time.
III. Anticipatory Set: What is usually involved in intercultural business communication and how should one behave if relocated to foreign countries such as United Arab Emirates, Mexico, China and Israel?
IV. Cultural Awareness
V. High vs. Low Context Cultures
VI. Language: Verbal vs. Non-Verbal
VII. Conversational Taboos
VIII. Interaction: Ethical/Unethical awareness
IX. Conclusion: connecting the objectives
My developed training program will help my students target and grasp the importance of the concepts listed and how they connect to one another. You will need to know a number of things regarding Cultural Awareness, High vs. Low Context Cultures, and Verbal vs. Non-Verbal, Conversational Taboos, and Interaction Ethical/Unethical awareness, and connecting the objectives. “Low context language is where things are fully spelled out or made explicit where there is also considerable dependence on what is actually being said or written (Gibson, 2002).” Western cultures tend to be inclined more toward low context language while Eastern and
Southern cultures are more inclined to use high context language (LeBaron, 2003).“High context language is whereby communicators assume a great deal of commonality of opinions and knowledge so that not much is made explicit (Novinger, 2001).” In other words, communication is in indirect ways. It is of crucial importance for business individuals venturing overseas to learn more about the business culture and etiquette present in countries such as Mexico, China, United Arab Emirates and Israel as they are not the same as the American business culture.

METROPOLITAN PLANNING AND
ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
n May 2008, the Nobel Prize–winning economist Paul Krugman was in Berlin, and
he wrote an Op-Ed piece for the New York Times that began, “I have seen the future,
and it works.” He went on to extol “this marvelous urban environment” with its pitchperfect
public transportation servicing medium height high-rise buildings embedded
in a larger urban-scape of commercial service establishments and green areas. He then
commented: “It’s the kind of neighborhood in which people don’t have to drive a lot,
but it’s also a kind of neighborhood that barely exists in America, even in big metropolitan
areas. Greater Atlanta has roughly the same population as greater Berlin—but
Berlin is a city of trains, buses and bikes, while Atlanta is a city of cars, cars and cars.”
The Nobel Prize winner is speaking here not as an objective scientist, but as another
tourist from America, and one who subscribes to the subjective bias against suburban
sprawl. As any other observant visitor to Berlin can attest, he leaves out other aspects of
the experience: the mixed groups of drug addicts loitering around select public places
including open-air heroin users and speed freaks; Nazi skinheads roaming the very
community transportation corridors Krugman lauds; sectors of the city that could be
called slums in the American style, except that the housing is better maintained and
the streets are cleaner; and, despite the popularity of Berlin, an increasing and denser
development of the region outside the city for the kind of single-family homes that are
most characteristic of the United States and that he seems to dislike despite the fact
that he probably lives in one back in Princeton, N.J., where he is a professor.
To be sure, Krugman has an excellent point and his comparison between Berlin
and Atlanta is well taken. However, any tourist comparing American and European
urban development patterns for public consumption, such as this Op-Ed columnist,
must be held responsible for pointing out the single most important reason for the
contrast. Simply put, European cities have fought sprawl and have a more “rational”
public mode of living that includes clustered high-rises and efficient public transportation
precisely because in Europe planners have political power and leverage over
land use built by profit seekers. America has nothing comparable because Americans

dislike public housing and government planning and are generally opposed to government
regulation and intervention. The fundamental ideological divide between these
societies could not be more different. Witness the frustrating and irrational response
average U.S. citizens have made in opposition to government-sponsored health insurance
during the summer of 2009. European countries adopted universal health care,
in contrast, scores of years ago. At about the same time, in the post–World War II era,
they also sanctioned local and national planning schemes for housing and ...
Methods of Moral Decision Making REL 330 Christian Moralit.docxandreecapon
Methods of Moral Decision Making
REL 330 Christian Morality
Acquisition of Christian Based Ethical Truth comes from:
1. Written Revelation – the Bible
2. Natural Law
· Human reason is capable of divine ethical truth.
· Human kind made in the image of God is therefore capable of understanding ethical standards revealed in nature.
· Natural tendency for self-preservation, avoidance of pain, defense of children.
3. The Church - A. Narrative component : Stories and images,
B. Normative component: Rules/guidelines
C. Church functions to assist with character development by teaching,
through community, and imagination (raises to new acute awareness &
understanding)
How we decide is a matter of style:
Rule-Based or Deontological Theories of Ethics (Rule or duty based)
A. Divine Command/Absolutism –
Our behavior, actions and moral decisions are based on God’s will.
How do we determine the will of God?
Based on our experience of God and our understanding of the nature of
God.
God is good. We need an understanding of what the Good is.
Do we follow God’s command out of fear or out of love?
Which is more important the rule or the intention?
The problem with moral decision making arises when in a particular situation one needs to choose between protecting one’s own life and the life of another. Complex situations in our nuclear age make it difficult to determine the greater good or the lesser of two evils in many cases.
B. Immanuel Kant’s “Categorical Imperative” - another of the deontological or rule based theories of ethics that may help in ethical reasoning-
His theory states “Act only according to that maxim by which you can at the same time will that it should become a universal law.” Also persons are not to be a means to an end. (Immanuel Kant, Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals, 1785; cited in Rachels, 115)
C. Social Contract Theories- a belief that moral judgments are simply conventions determined by a particular society. How this works is evident in the “Peace Child.”
D. Critical Realism- is a method thatasserts that our knowledge of the world refers to the-way-things-really-are, but in a partial fashion which will necessarily be revised as that knowledge develops. Critical Realism attempts to find the real good through dialogue and reason between the ideal rule or norm and the reality of the present world.
Teleological or goal-based theories of Ethical Reasoning- (Also known as consequentialism)
A. Ethical Egoism- a moral act is what benefits me.
B. Utilitarianism- a moral act is what causes the greatest amount of happiness for the most people concerned, i.e.,
· Right actions are those with best consequences.
· In assessing “best consequences” the amount of happiness or unhappiness caused is the only relevant consideration.
· Each person’s welfare is equally important
C. Emotivism- moral judgments ar ...

Mexico: The Third War
Security Weekly Wednesday, February 18, 2009 - 13:23 Print Text Size
By Fred Burton and Scott Stewart
Mexico has pretty much always been a rough-and
-tumble place. In recent years, however, the
security environment has deteriorated rapidly, and
parts of the country have become incredibly
violent. It is now common to see military
weaponry such as fragmentation grenades and
assault rifles used almost daily in attacks.
In fact, just last week we noted two separate
strings of grenade attacks directed against police
in Durango and Michoacan states. In the
Michoacan incident, police in Uruapan and Lazaro Cardenas were targeted by three grenade attacks during a 12-hour period.
Then on Feb. 17, a major firefight occurred just across the border from the United States in Reynosa, when Mexican
authorities attempted to apprehend several armed men seen riding in a vehicle. The men fled to a nearby residence and
engaged the pursuing police with gunfire, hand grenades and rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs). After the incident, in which
five cartel gunmen were killed and several gunmen, cops, soldiers and civilians were wounded, authorities recovered a 60 mm
mortar, five RPG rounds and two fragmentation grenades.
Make no mistake, considering the military weapons now being used in Mexico and the number of deaths involved, the country
is in the middle of a war. In fact, there are actually three concurrent wars being waged in Mexico involving the Mexican drug
cartels. The first is the battle being waged among the various Mexican drug cartels seeking control over lucrative smuggling
corridors, called plazas. One such battleground is Ciudad Juarez, which provides access to the Interstate 10, Interstate 20 and
Interstate 25 corridors inside the United States. The second battle is being fought between the various cartels and the Mexican
government forces who are seeking to interrupt smuggling operations, curb violence and bring the cartel members to justice.
Then there is a third war being waged in Mexico, though because of its nature it is a bit more subdued. It does not get the
same degree of international media attention generated by the running gun battles and grenade and RPG attacks. However, it
is no less real, and in many ways it is more dangerous to innocent civilians (as well as foreign tourists and business travelers)
than the pitched battles between the cartels and the Mexican government. This third war is the war being waged on the
Mexican population by criminals who may or may not be involved with the cartels. Unlike the other battles, where cartel
members or government forces are the primary targets and civilians are only killed as collateral damage, on this battlefront,
civilians are squarely in the crosshairs.
The Criminal Front
There are many different shapes and sizes of criminal gangs in Mexico. While many of them are in some way related to the
drug cartels, others have various types of c ...

1. A quality control expert is called in to determine whether a newly installed machine is meeting quality standards in producing a particular cotton cloth according to the specifications set by the manufacturer. The mean warp-breaking strength of this particular cotton cloth has been established to be 66 pounds. A random sample of 36 pieces of cotton cloth is obtained from a production run on this machine. The results of the sample reveal a mean warp-breaking strength of 64.5 pounds and a standard deviation of 5 pounds. Can the quality control expert make the decision that the cotton produced on the new machine meets the warp-breaking specification of the manufacturer at the .05 level of significance?

Mental Illness Stigma and the Fundamental Components ofSuppo.docxandreecapon
Mental Illness Stigma and the Fundamental Components of
Supported Employment
Patrick W. Corrigan, Jonathon E. Larson, and Sachiko A. Kuwabara
Illinois Institute of Psychology
Purpose/Objective: The success of supported employment programs will partly depend on the endorse-
ment of stigma in communities in which the programs operate. In this article, the authors examine 2
models of stigma—responsibility attribution and dangerousness—and their relationships to components
of supported employment—help getting a job and help keeping a job. Research Method/Design: A
stratified and randomly recruited sample (N � 815) completed responses to a vignette about “Chris,” a
person alternately described with mental illness, with drug addiction, or in a wheelchair. Research
participants completed items that represented responsibility and dangerousness models. They also
completed items representing 2 fundamental aspects of supported employment: help getting a job or help
keeping a job. Results: When participants viewed Chris as responsible for his condition (e.g., mental
illness), they reacted to him in an angry manner, which in turn led to lesser endorsement of the 2 aspects
of supported employment. In addition, people who viewed Chris as dangerous feared him and wanted to
stay away from him, even in settings where people with mental illness might work. Conclusions/
Implications: Implications for understanding supported employment are discussed.
Keywords: stigma, supported employment, discrimination
The disabilities of serious mental illness can block people from
obtaining important life goals, including a good job. Several kinds
of vocational rehabilitation programs have emerged to address
work-related disabilities. Some of these approaches are known as
train-place strategies (Corrigan & McCracken, 2005). Through an
education-based strategy, in train-place programs, participants
must learn prevocational and work readiness skills before they are
placed in work settings. These work settings are often sheltered;
that is, the job is “owned” by a rehabilitation agency, which can
protect participants from stressors (Corrigan, 2001). Alternatively,
supported employment is place-train in orientation. People are
placed in real-world work and subsequently provided training and
support to address problems as they emerge, thereby helping a
person to maintain a regular job. The latter group has dominated
recent supported employment models for people with psychiatric
disabilities (Bond et al., 2001; Bond, Becker, Drake, & Vogler, 1997).
Some forms of supported employment recommend rapid placement
of people in work settings of interest to them (Becker & Drake, 2003).
Unlike train-place programs, supported employment does not
try to protect people with disabilities from the work world (Cor-
rigan, 2001; Corrigan & McCracken, 2005). Instead, providers
offer direct support in vivo. This kind of approach is more suc-
cessful in communities where the intent of supported ...

This slides describes the basic concepts of ICT, basics of Email, Emerging Technology and Digital Initiatives in Education. This presentations aligns with the UGC Paper I syllabus.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
Palestine last event orientationfvgnh .pptxRaedMohamed3
An EFL lesson about the current events in Palestine. It is intended to be for intermediate students who wish to increase their listening skills through a short lesson in power point.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Methods to Stop Different Cyber Crimes
People must be well-informed regarding internet scams and
certain vulnerabilities, which permit them to occur sooner or
later. With education, they will be in a situation to help in
prevention of such scams successfully (Hynson, 2012). It is
imperative for people to be familiar with attempts of
cybercrimes and to comprehend correct solutions in internet
practices and solutions. People will learn with education how
to put into practice proper security protocols. When they
develop into social media savvy people and when they learn
how to safe guard their computer devices, cybercriminals will
encounter multiple layers of security, which will limit their
illegal activities substantially.
Firewalls have the capability to protect users and their network
devices against cyber criminals in the first instance of a
attempted breach (Lehto,2013). A firewall monitors the
interchange between a local network or the internet and a user’s
computer. The firewall should be enabled through the security
software or a router. Cybercriminals will be unable to use the
interchange traffic to install malware, which is intended to
compromise the user’s network and computer. If more people
would use firewalls, hackers would be at a chief disadvantage
due to being unable to navigate deeper into a system to obtain
sensitive information and eventually, cybercrime would be
lessened for a time.
Users need to analyze their operating and online systems
continually so they can resolve vulnerabilities (Hynson, 2012).
Internal accounting information or protocols, which lead to
financial information or bank statements, should be checked on
a regular basis in order to recognize the risks and mitigate them
accordingly. It is very difficult for people to curb the flow of
2. cybercrimes if they are ignorant of the risks in which they face
or the weaknesses, which exist within their systems.
One successful way of slowing the actions of cyber criminals is
by acting like them. This requires law enforcement agencies
such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to assign
special undercover agents to gain access to clubs or groups of
cyber criminals so they can investigate their steps (Hynson,
2012). The investigation method will become more effective by
identifying the source of the problem and in developing a
stronger strategy to cripple the efforts of the criminals.
Cyber criminals can hack into systems without difficulty when
they encounter uncomplicated passwords. Users should use
passwords with at least 10 or more characters so they can
amplify the complexity of logging into the computer system
(Lehto, 2013). It also helps top add in capital letters and special
characters to increase the complexity of a password. In
addition, different accounts should have dissimilar ID’s or
password combinations to avoid giving hackers access to all of
your accounts. The complex passwords should also be changed
on a regular basis so criminals cannot find any type of
consistency in information.
Cross-domain solutions involve different organizations and law
enforcement agencies, which have a combined system ensuring
all cyber activities, are monitored continually (Hynson, 2012).
The verification of automatic and manual access or transfer of
information is authenticated through the hardware and software
of the system for different levels of security classification.
Accessing a variety of domains will be very complicated for
cyber criminals while users can get hold of the information they
require with no trouble.

Running head: VENGEFUL EMPLOYEE 1
Vengeful Employee
Michael Menese a 43-year-old computer programmer used to
reside in Smithtown, Long Island, who was employed with
Spellman high voltage electronic corporation. Spellman
founded in 1947 a company who is a provider of direct current
and precision high voltage power supplies for the medical,
industrial, and scientific communities ("About Us," 2015, p. 1).
Menese worked for this company from May 2008 until January
2015. He left the company after being passed over for
promotion multiple times and became upset with the company
(Secret, 2013, p. 1). His specialty working for the company
was in software programming and systems manager specializing
in developing and customizing software, which the company
used to run its day to day business operations ("Long Island
4. Software Programmer Arrested for Hacking into Network of
High-Voltage Power Manufacturer," 2013, p. 1).
He was one of two employees who primarily were
responsible for the company’s software running, production
planning, purchasing, and inventory control, giving him a high
access level to the company’s computer network. After giving
his two-week notice Menese, decided to start a vengeance
campaign against the company. Before his access was removed
he installed a program to capture employee’s user login and
passwords. Using this information and the security credential
of at least one former co-worker, he would remotely connect
into the company’s network by using a virtual private network
(VPN) from his home and a hotel near his new employer’s
location.
Soon employees at the company noticed things were
happening with the computer system, which they felt were out
of the ordinary. They were unable to process routine
transactions, receiving error messages instead. Menese bent on
revenge against his former company, exploited his access and
technical knowledge to wage a sabotage campaign against his
former company. He altered the business calendar by a month,
disrupting production and finance operations. Due to this the
company suffered over 90,000 dollars in losses because of
Menese’s intrusions into the system. He also accessed the email
from his former supervisor and would use a separate email
account to send messages to potential candidates for his job not
to accept any job offers from the company (Pickard, 2015, p. 1).
The Company logged a complaint alleging, the defendant
engaged in a 21st Century campaign of cyber-vandalism and
high-tech revenge, hacking into the computer network of the
company Mr. Menese’s former employer to disrupt its
operations, thereby causing tens of thousands of dollars in
damage. United States Attorney Lynch stated “We will hold
accountable any individual who victimizes others by exploiting
computer network vulnerabilities ("Long Island Software
Programmer Arrested for Hacking into Network of High-
5. Voltage Power Manufacturer," 2013, p. 1).”
Menese was caught 2 May 2013 by investigators who
traced the email account to warn off potential candidates for his
old job. One place it was traced to was an Internet protocol
address, which belonged to Menese new employer. They traced
the calendar changes to a hotel in North Carolina, which
happened to be a very short distance away from Mr. Menese
new job. Checking the hotel records the investigators found
Menese to be staying in the hotel at the time of the cyber
attacks. At the time he was caught, Menese pleaded not guilty.
On 6 March 2015 in the federal courthouse in New York,
Michael Menese pleaded guilty to hacking into his former
company’s computer network. The items brought before the
court in which Mr. Menese did where: The defendant deleted a
line of code in a software program that the victim company used
to calculate work order costs, leading the company to
incorrectly calculate these costs, The defendant remotely
accessed the victim company’s network, read an e-mail sent by
his former supervisor to one of his former colleagues about a
candidate for the defendant’s former position, created the e-mail
address [email protected],” and sent the candidate a message
that stated, “Don’t accept any position from [the victim
company],” the defendant gained unauthorized access to the
victim company’s network and modified a database so it would
appear to be March 2012 rather than February 2012. As a result,
the company was unable to process routine transactions, and the
defendant remotely accessed the victim company’s network and
manually purged a purchase order table, which prevented the
company from converting purchase requisitions to purchase
orders ("FBI," 2015, p. 1)
With the guilty plea Mr. Menese will be charged on 7 July
2015. Mr. Menese will be facing up to 10 years in a federal
prison, as well as a restitution and fine of up to 250,000 dollars.
This shows the federal government is steadfast to vigorous
enforcement of the laws, which govern computer intrusion.
