Finally, in responding to your peers’ posts, assess your peers’ recommendations and discuss how these functions relate to providing a secure means of communicating. BUT respond according to the post if need be.
1.
The massive growth of access to information is on the rise each and every day making the handling of information and data one of the major priorities in our information technology world. To secure our information, a sender uses a hash key to encrypt the data being sent, whiles the receiver on the waiting end decrypts the data using the same hash key. This means that hashing serves as an authentication tool for both sender and receiver of the data. However, the recent attacks on cryptography continue to threaten the security of our information. Random hashing has proved to be useful in recent times although it does not stop an attacker from attacking it makes it very difficult and complex and almost impossible. Randomizing in hash ensures that a hash function is picked at random or in other words, uses a random salt value in the random process before implementing the underlying hash function. (Lemire D., 2012)
Hashing comes in handy in securing our communication. It gives us the assurance that data has not been tampered with by using the hash key to verify the integrity of the data. Also, as it assures as that data has not being tempered with it also alerts us if data has been tampered with this way we can ignore and flag such data. (Ashfield D., 2013)
Hash is an essential component in cryptographic, for the last two decades it is being used for cryptography in securing electronic communication on an internet network.

Hashing is a great tool when using encryption. This allows the person that is sending the data and the person that would receive the data to be able to know that the message hasn’t been altered. If the hashing uses common stings of number, like 123456789, an outsider can break this hash very quickly. But if the hash is
[email protected]
$36*&(oP, well, this would make the message more difficult for interception. This goes a long with the same concept of using passwords that don’t follow a dictionary, and are random, the more random the better.
If I were to send a piece of data out, I would want random hashing to take place. Above, where I mentioned that using 123456789, wouldn’t be a great hash, because it can easily be intercepted and deciphered (there are people that have equipment that can do just this). I would want something along the lines as
[email protected]
^TR#@dTh!$, because in order to decipher my message you would have to know the exact characters and line, meaning that my data would stay safe, and as long as it matches up on the other side, we (the parties involved) would know that my message wasn’t altered. There are even Salting schemes that can be added at the end, with random characters, just to throw off unwanted eyes.

RESPOND TO THIS DISCUSSION POST BASED ON THE TOPIC Compare and co.docx
RESPOND TO THIS DISCUSSION POST BASED ON THE TOPIC “
Compare and contrast the different types of IDPS technology and describe any prior experience using any of the tools.”
1.
VC).
I have found four different types of IDPS technologies but for this discussion board I decided to just compare two. The first IDPS technology is network-based. A network-based technology “monitors network traffic for particular network segments or devices and analyzes the network and application protocol activity to identify suspicious activity.” (Scarfone, 2007) A network based system is used to capture and analyze packets from various IP addresses, websites, and TCP/UDP layers. One benefit of having a network-based detection system in place is getting real time alerts. Also, companies can decide which type of network based system they would like to go with. There are two major types: signature-based which compares attacks with previous attacks the system has seen. The second type is anomaly-based which compares packets with a baseline and then decides which steps should be taken. Overall, a network-based IDPS can be expensive and difficult to configure.
The second type of IDPS is known as a network behavior analysis system which “examines network traffic or statistics on traffic to identify unusual traffic slows, and policy violations.” (Scarfone, 2007) Unlike a network-based IDPS the NBA system is delayed in identifying attacks. Although an NBA system can analyze and reconstruct an attack in hopes to prevent the same type of attack from happening again. Also, NBA systems are used to monitor the network flow or malware rather than monitoring the actual network itself. Using Snort for this week’s lab will be my first time using an intrusion detection software.
2TD).
I really like this topic although it can be a very extensive one. There are many forms of IDPS systems. "
. “Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is meant to be a software application which monitors the network or system activities and find if any malicious operations occur.” (1) Unlike firewalls that block any connections that it finds harmful, this software alerts the administrator if any connections that were harmful still get passed through. There are three types of Intrusion Detection Systems: Network Based, Host Based and Application Based.
“Network-based intrusion detection systems monitor the network traffic and use these raw network packet’s content to analyze network, transport, and application protocols to identify suspicious activity.” (2) This system collects all the packets through the network and analyzes them for any malicious intent. One advantage of using this method is the “operating system independence.” The data packets “also independent on OS platform. This method is to provide faster notification and response…” (2)
Another type of Intrusion Detection Systems is the Host based. “Host-based IDS monitors a single machine and audits data traced by the hosting operating system. ...

Steps to Secure Digital Evidence
Write a detailed report of four to five pages in length explaining these steps and procedures.
Identify a specific type of cybercrime and provide answers to the subsequent questions using the crime you selected.
You will identify the likely digital items that need to be collected and then properly secure them.
(The digital items can be thumb drives, CDs, cell phones, small, older hand-held game system play stations, Sony game systems, paper with passwords on them hidden under a mouse pad and in a desk, butterfly, etc.)
You will document the steps taken to properly secure digital evidence that you have chosen to take into custody.
Describe what “triage” of digital evidence means regarding cyber investigations.
Explain chain of custody and how to secure and preserve digital evidence.
Finally, you must ensure that the steps to secure evidence are completed, including identifying how the items will then be transported to the evidence technician’s station/office.
As you answer the questions above, make sure you consider
The importance of demonstrating that a forensic process was followed to a criminal or civil case. Address the impact on the case of using tools that are not vetted by the community.
How you will use Write blockers to protect against inadvertently tainting evidence. Provide a discussion of the different ways that these can be implemented and an example of a specific vendor technology.
Discuss how a hashing algorithm is used in a forensic investigation to prove evidence integrity and discuss how using a tool shown to cause collisions could be detrimental to the case. Provide an example of an algorithm used to authenticate the data.
Use the American Psychological Association (APA) style (6th edition) to write your assignment. Remember to use quality references to support the ideas in your paper.
Compose your work in a .doc or .docx file type using a word processor (such as Microsoft Word, etc.) and save it frequently to your computer.

Enterprise Password Worst Practices
In 2009, Imperva published a report on 32 million breached passwords entitled "Consumer Password Worst Practices." Since then, successive breaches have highlighted consumers' inability to make sufficient password choices. Enterprises can no longer rely on employees, partners or consumers when it comes to password security. Instead, responsibility rests on enterprises to put in place proper password security policies and procedures as a part of a comprehensive data security discipline. Passwords should be viewed by security teams as highly valuable data - even if PCI or other security mandates don't apply. This paper guides enterprises to rectify poor password management practices.

The case presented is a philosophy of practice, by Ulf Donner, leade.docx
The case presented is a philosophy of practice, by Ulf Donner, leader of the Foundation Home at the psychiatric nursing home in Finland that for 15 years has based its practice on Eriksson’s caritative theory of caring.
Even at an early stage in our serving in caring science, we caregivers recognized ourselves in the caring science theory, which stresses the healing force of love and compassion in the form of tending, playing, and learning in faith, hope, and charity. The caritative culture is made visible with the help of rituals, symbols, and traditions, for instance, with the stone that burns with the light of the Trinity and the daily common time for spiritual reflection. In every meeting with the suffering human being, the attributes of love and charity are striven for, and the day involves discussions of reconciliation, forgiveness, and how we as caregivers can tend by nourishing and cleansing on the level of becoming, being, and doing. In the struggle in love and compassion to reach a fellow human being who, because of suffering, has withdrawn from the communion to find common horizons, the sacrifice of the caregiver is constantly available.
We work with people who often have the feeling that they do not deserve the love they encounter and who, in various ways, try to convince us caregivers of this. We experience patients’ disappointment in their destructive acts, and we constantly have to remember that it may be broken promises that produce such dynamics. Sometimes, it may be difficult to recognize that suffering expressed in this way in an abstract sense seeks an embrace that does not give way but is strong enough to give shelter to this suffering, in a way that makes a becoming movement possible. In recognizing what is bad and what is difficult, horizons in the field of force are expanded, and the possibility of bringing in a ray of light and hope is opened.
As caregivers, we constantly ask ourselves whether the words, the language we use, bring promise, and how we can create linguistic footholds in the void by means of images and symbols. In our effort to nourish and cleanse, that which constitutes the basic movement of tending, we often recognize the importance of teaching the patient to be able to mourn disappointments and affirm the possibilities of forgiveness in the movement of reconciliation.
We also try to bring about the open invitation to the suffering human being to join a communion with the help of myths, legends, and tales concerned with human questions about evil versus good and about eternity and infinity. Reading aloud with common reflective periods often provides us caregivers a possibility of getting closer to patients without getting too close, and opens the door for the suffering the patient bears.
In the act of caring, we strive for openness with regard to the patient’s face and a confirmative attitude that responds to the appeal that we can recognize that the patient directs to us. When we as caregivers re.
The Case of Will Smithers To Exhume or not Exhume, that is the .docx
The Case of Will Smithers: To Exhume or not Exhume, that is the Question
A surprising amount of information can be gleaned about an individual just from one’s tissues. In this case, you have been assigned to shadow histopathologist Dr. Jonas Riehm as he attempts to identify the cause of death of 42-year-old Will Smithers. Mr. Smithers’s body was discovered sitting in his car near an alley several miles from his home. There was no obvious cause of death, necessitating an autopsy to determine if the death was from natural causes or foul play. However, due to a clerical error, the decedent’s body was released and interred before a proper autopsy could be performed, and an official cause of death was not established.
Fortunately, several tissue samples were taken before the interment and remain available for examination. Mr. Smithers’s family does not wish to have his body exhumed, so local law enforcement professionals have asked Dr. Riehm to examine the tissue samples in the hopes of determining his cause of death and whether or not an exhumation is needed. The following sections have been taken from the official report that Dr. Riehm sent to the local coroner’s office. You are to report to Dr. Riehm’s office with your anatomy and physiology textbook. He expects students to answer questions related to the work that he does in his histopathology laboratory.
Dr. Riehm enjoys teaching, and has a collection of microscope slides that he uses to introduce students to the fascinating universe of histology. He starts with the following definition: histology is the study of the normal structure of tissues. Although Dr. Riehm is an expert in the study of the diseases and abnormalities of tissues, histopathology, he is a firm believer that you must be able to recognize normal tissue before you can understand diseased tissue. He has set up four microscope stations for students to get familiar with how the microscopes function and to view slides of normal tissues.
Each station has a microscope with a slide of one of the four primary tissue types. (a) Define tissue and organ, and then describe how each fits into the levels of body organization. (b) Describe what you would expect to observe on the epithelial tissue slide. What are the general functions of this tissue? (c) Describe what you would expect to see on the connective tissue slide. What are the general functions of this tissue? (d) Describe what you would expect to see on the muscle tissue slide. What are the general functions of this tissue? (e) Describe what you would expect to observe on the nervous tissue slide. What are the general functions of this tissue?
Satisfied that you are properly introduced to the concepts of normal tissue, Dr. Riehm begins to fill you in on the details of Mr. Smithers’s case, whose tissue samples have coincidentally arrived just in time for your shadowing visit. The first set of slides included an epithelium sample taken from Mr. Smithers’s forehead. The slide w.

RESPOND TO THIS DISCUSSION POST BASED ON THE TOPIC Compare and co.docx
RESPOND TO THIS DISCUSSION POST BASED ON THE TOPIC “
Compare and contrast the different types of IDPS technology and describe any prior experience using any of the tools.”

VC).
I have found four different types of IDPS technologies but for this discussion board I decided to just compare two. The first IDPS technology is network-based. A network-based technology “monitors network traffic for particular network segments or devices and analyzes the network and application protocol activity to identify suspicious activity.” (Scarfone, 2007) A network based system is used to capture and analyze packets from various IP addresses, websites, and TCP/UDP layers. One benefit of having a network-based detection system in place is getting real time alerts. Also, companies can decide which type of network based system they would like to go with. There are two major types: signature-based which compares attacks with previous attacks the system has seen. The second type is anomaly-based which compares packets with a baseline and then decides which steps should be taken. Overall, a network-based IDPS can be expensive and difficult to configure.
The second type of IDPS is known as a network behavior analysis system which “examines network traffic or statistics on traffic to identify unusual traffic slows, and policy violations.” (Scarfone, 2007) Unlike a network-based IDPS the NBA system is delayed in identifying attacks. Although an NBA system can analyze and reconstruct an attack in hopes to prevent the same type of attack from happening again. Also, NBA systems are used to monitor the network flow or malware rather than monitoring the actual network itself. Using Snort for this week’s lab will be my first time using an intrusion detection software.
2TD).
I really like this topic although it can be a very extensive one. There are many forms of IDPS systems. "
. “Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is meant to be a software application which monitors the network or system activities and find if any malicious operations occur.” (1) Unlike firewalls that block any connections that it finds harmful, this software alerts the administrator if any connections that were harmful still get passed through. There are three types of Intrusion Detection Systems: Network Based, Host Based and Application Based.
“Network-based intrusion detection systems monitor the network traffic and use these raw network packet’s content to analyze network, transport, and application protocols to identify suspicious activity.” (2) This system collects all the packets through the network and analyzes them for any malicious intent. One advantage of using this method is the “operating system independence.” The data packets “also independent on OS platform. This method is to provide faster notification and response…” (2)
Another type of Intrusion Detection Systems is the Host based. “Host-based IDS monitors a single machine and audits data traced by the hosting operating system. ...

1 Sexual Offenses and Offenders
There are few groups of individuals who are more reviled than sexual offenders. Though this has been true for more than a century, the past two decades have brought forth intense scrutiny from the public, politicians, and policymakers. Several emotionally-charged cases of child sexual abuse were highly publicized in the 1980s and 1990s, reigniting public intolerance for sexual offenders. And although the incidence of sexual offenses has been decreasing, sanctions for sex offenders have been constantly increasing over the last two decades. Unfortunately, empirical research does not show that such sanctions significantly deter offenders or reduce recidivism, and yet this legislation creates significant financial strain for local jurisdictions and states that must implement the policies (Zgoba et al., 2008). Despite the questionable efficacy of these laws, there is no sign of reducing the sanctions for this group.
This is not the first time historically that society has exhibited a “moral panic” about the dangers of sexual abuse. This panic has waned and ebbed throughout the last century. Jenkins (1998, p. 4) explains that the perception of sex offenders is the effect of “socially constructed realities” influenced by existing social and political ideologies. The public desire to incapacitate sex offenders today is similar to social attitudes in the 1930s, when sexual psychopathy laws emerged to incapacitate those considered to be “unfortunate but dangerous wretches” (Robson, 1999, p. 2). So although empirical research has consistently shown that sex offenders constitute a heterogeneous population of individuals for whom a one-size-fits-all policy will not be effective, such policies regarding the supervision, monitoring, and incapacitation of sexual offenders have gone full circle since the beginning of the century.
The purpose of this text is to provide the reader with a general understanding of sex offenders and the societal responses to them. Historically, sex offender research has focused on why sex offenders commit such offenses, and the characteristics of different types of offenders. Sex offender research today is centered around three general topic areas: (1) the factors associated with sexual offending, including personal characteristics as well as situational variables; (2) sex offenders' risk of recidivism; and (3) the efficacy of polici.
The Case of SamSam is a 62-year-old, widowed, African American male..docx
The Case of SamSam is a 62-year-old, widowed, African American male. He is unemployed, receives Social Security benefits, and lives on his own in an apartment. Sam has minimal peer relationships, choosing not to socialize with anyone except his daughter, with whom he is very close. Sam raised his daughter as a single father after his wife passed away. Melissa is 28 years old and works as an emergency medical technician (EMT). When Sam was 7years old, he was placed in foster care and has had very limited contact with his extended family. Prior to September 11, 2001, Sam had a steady employment history in food services and retail.He hadno psychiatric history before that time. Sam reportedhis religious background is Catholic, but he is not affiliatedwith a congregation or church. Sam became depressed and psychotic sometimeafter 9/11 and had to be taken to an emergency room. He was hospitalized at that time for several weeks. His mental status exam (MSE)and diagnostic interview showed no history of alcohol or substance abuse issues,and he had no criminal background or current legal issues. Sam was released to outpatient care but was deemed unable to return to work. At that time,he had a diagnosis of major depression with psychotic features; he alsohas a history of high blood pressure and migraines. After several additional multiple psychiatric hospitalizations, he was gradually stabilized. Sam has been seeing a psychiatrist once a month for over a decade for medication management and is currently prescribedDepakote®, Abilify, and Wellbutrin®. Sam has a positive history of medication and treatment compliance. He wastreated by a social worker at an outpatient program for about 2years after his hospitalizations for his psychosis and depression. He gradually stopped attending sessions with the social worker after his symptoms stabilized, and his termination from the outpatient program was deemed appropriate; he continued to see the psychiatrist monthly for medication management.After about 10years of seeing only the psychiatrist, Sam scheduled a meeting with this social worker for increased feelings of depression.

He reported difficulty adjusting to living alone and said he often feels lonely and anxious. He reported during sessions with his social worker that he speaks to his daughter frequently, and although she only lives 10blocks away, he misses her terribly.Our sessions for the last 3months have focused on his mixed feelings around his daughter’s new life with her boyfriend. He said he is happy that she is happy but misses her very much. I emphasized his strengths and helped him reframe his situation by focusing on the positive changes in her life as well as his own life. Our goals were to help him reduce his symptoms of anxiety and begin searching for new opportunities for socialization outside of his daughter.

The Case of Sam Sam is a 62-year-old, widowed, African American male. He is unemployed, receives Social Security benefits, and lives on his own in an apartment. Sam has minimal peer relationships, choosing not to socialize with anyone except his daughter, with whom he is very close. Sam raised his daughter as a single father after his wife passed away. Melissa is 28 years old and works as an emergency medical technician (EMT). When Sam was 7 years old, he was placed in foster care and has had very limited contact with his extended family. Prior to September 11, 2001, Sam had a steady employment history in food services and retail. He had no psychiatric history before that time. Sam reported his religious background is Catholic, but he is not affiliated with a congregation or church. Sam became depressed and psychotic sometime after 9/11 and had to be taken to an emergency room. He was hospitalized at that time for several weeks. His mental status exam (MSE) and diagnostic interview showed no history of alcohol or substance abuse issues, and he had no criminal background or current legal issues. Sam was released to outpatient care but was deemed unable to return to work. At that time, he had a diagnosis of major depression with psychotic features; he also has a history of high blood pressure and migraines. After several additional multiple psychiatric hospitalizations, he was gradually stabilized. Sam has been seeing a psychiatrist once a month for over a decade for medication management and is currently prescribed Depakote®, Abilify, and Wellbutrin®. Sam has a positive history of medication and treatment compliance. He was treated by a social worker at an outpatient program for about 2 years after his hospitalizations for his psychosis and depression. He gradually stopped attending sessions with the social worker after his symptoms stabilized, and his termination from the outpatient program was deemed appropriate; he continued to see the psychiatrist monthly for medication management. After about 10 years of seeing only the psychiatrist, Sam scheduled a meeting with this social worker for increased feelings of depression.

Abstract
Purpose – This paper aims to report an organizational development (OD) exercise carried out in a
prominent non-governmental organization (NGO) that works in the area of rights and advocacy in
India.
Design/methodology/approach – The exercise was part of the first author’s graduate program,
which required the application of behavioral science theory to a live organization under the
supervision of her advisor, the second author. The organizational development exercise spread over
four months, involved entering an organization, interacting with key participants and stakeholders of
the organization both formally and informally, diagnosing issues facing the organization and a
mirroring exercise with the management at the end of the intervention to provide feedback.
Findings – Some of the issues and improvement areas that emerged through the exercise are
discussed in the paper. It also offers reflections on some of the key lessons learnt during the process of
intervention, with implications for OD in developmental organizations.
Originality/value – The paper offers insights into OD interventions in the developmental sector,
posing a different set of challenges than conventional organizations, and also because the organization
itself was in a state of flux at the time of the intervention.

Introduction
Organization development (OD) work has largely been carried out in business or for
profit organizations. Bargal and Schmid (1992) refer to the paucity of literature on
consultation done in developmental organizations. OD in nonprofit organizations
provides some unique challenges for the consultant that may not exist in business
organizations (Ramos, 2007; Waysman and Savaya, 1997). Developmental
organizations are thought to differ from for-profit organizations in a number of
ways (Brown and Covey, 1987). Studies have shown that employees in developmental
organizations seek greater autonomy and less organizational control in their work
(Mirvis and Hackett, 1983). Since there is a need for flexibility and local discretion in
the working of developmental organizations, they tend to be more informal and loosely
organized than business organizations ( Joseph, 2000; Lewis, 2003). Another often cited
concern is the existence of high role ambiguity and lack of clarity about roles and
procedures in such organizations (Goldman and Kahnweiler, 2000; McDonald, 1999). In
his study of organizational change in a human service organization, Ramos (2007)
discusses the poor communication across the various units/programs of the nonprofit.
Given that values and ideology play a central role in developmental organizations

The Case of Hector”.docx
The Case of “Hector”
Case Study 1: Chronic Hepatitis (Cirrhosis of Liver) & Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome
I. Case History
Background Information
Hector is a 44 year old, Hispanic male of low socioeconomic status. He lives on the southwest side of Chicago, Illinois in a neighborhood that is heavily populated with people of his ethnic background. Hector lives in a 3 bedroom home that he is currently renting.
Family History/Current Relationships
Hector was born in San Juan, Mexico and was raised in a two parent household, and has four siblings. Hector is the youngest of the four children. He comes from a Catholic background. Hector’s father worked as a carpenter, and his mother was a homemaker. Hector’s father was an alcoholic and was both physically and verbally abusive to the family. Hector lost his father at age 10 due to a physical altercation that took place at a local watering hole, which resulted in a fatal injury. His mother decided to relocate to the United States where she could receive the support of her family. At age 23, Hector met his current wife. Hector lives with his wife Consuela (age 40), and his 3 children Veronica (age 8), Mateo (age 6) and, Alejandro (age 2). Recently, his mother, and two cousins have moved into the home due to medical and financial reasons. Hector indicates that although times are hard, he is very committed to his family and grateful for their ongoing support.
Support Systems
Hector considers his family to be his primary support system. He indicates that they work very hard to be there for one another no matter what the situation. He indicates that he has a few friends but feel that they are not necessarily positive support systems, but can often times provide an outlet to stress.
Education
Hector has not graduated high school, but when time permits, he attends classes at a community agency who is assisting him with prep classes that will enable him to take the G.E.D. However, Hector admits that he is not able to consistently pursue obtaining his G.E.D because earning a living is his priority at this time.
Employment
Hector indicates that he is the primary provider in the home at this time. He indicates that they are able to receive some government assistance (Medicaid, food-stamps, WIC), but the income is supplemented, depending on his ability to obtain work. Hector currently works as a seasonal worker for a construction company. He reports that when he is actually called in to work, he can make decent money. However, there is question as to whether Hector receives his salary “under the table”. Hector does not have reliable transportation. Although he owns a mini-van, he reports that it is in constant need of repair. Hector chooses use public transportation and carpooling as a primary mode of transportation, because his license is suspended due to receiving his second DUI/DWI.
II. Description of Presenting Problem
Hector reports that he knows that he has an issue wi.

The Case of Joe the Jerk

The Case of Joe the Jerk (or, the Very Capable Jerk)
You have been asked to consult with a module manager in a public service center of the Social Security Administration. A module is a group of about forty workers who work together in processing claims for social security coverage (i.e., requests for the beginning of payments, or other services such as changes and information). A module has all the specialists needed to process a claim from beginning to end——claims authorizers, benefits authorizers, file clerks, and typists/word processors. Each module has a module manager (hereafter, MM) and two assistant module managers (AMMs) who lead and manage the team of workers in the module.
The MM, Joan, has a serious concern about one of the AMMs, Joe. Joe is very intelligent, talented, and younger than most AMMs. As far as his knowledge of the work and technical details is concerned, he is extremely promising and has excellent prospects to move up to become MM and then move on up beyond that. Joe, however, is arrogant in his dealings with the workers in the module. He talks down to people and treats them curtly and rudely. He behaves as if he deserves more special treatment and attention than the module members because he is an AMM. On the other hand, Joe also takes some stands and actions that are not necessarily bad or unjustified.
Some incidents:
One of the file clerks arrives late fairly often. Joe has begun to confront her very aggressively, in front of the other members of the module, criticizing her for arriving late. He has initiated disciplinary action against her. Some other members of the module have pointed out to Joe and Joan that the file clerk is a young single mother with a lot of personal problems. Her brother was recently shot to death in a street fight, apparently drug related. Her child is sick a lot and she has problems getting good child care. Joe, however, insists on going forward with the disciplinary action, saying he cannot let a person arrive late regularly without being unfair to those who do arrive on time. Besides, he says, it is essentially illegal for him not to take action. Joan has to decide whether to intervene in the disciplinary action or let it go through.
Joan is concerned about Joe’s effect on motivation and work satisfaction in the module. He speaks very condescendingly to module members who make mistakes, acting as if he is very superior to them and a lot smarter than they are——which is often true, in a sense. Joan was so concerned about growing tensions in the module that she arranged for a weekend retreat, where the group went through some team development exercises with a consultant. Throughout the retreat and the exercises, Joe had a virtual sneer on his face, and he made repeated sarcastic comments about the time the group was wasting on ―touchy-feely nonsense.
The members of the module have group meetings to discuss problems and changes. Joe has gotten up and wal.

INTRODUCTION
During the late summer of 2007, Bob Malone, British Petroleum (BP) America Chairman
and President, was faced with one of the most important decisions of his career – to
expand the Whiting Refinery in northwest Indiana on the banks of Lake Michigan, or to
yield to pressure from the public and not expand operations. Regional and global
consumer demand for gasoline was rising, which helped push prices toward record highs,
and the refinery had an opportunity to expand capacity to help meet that demand.
However, thousands of citizens, a host of environmental groups, and eve.
The Case of Emily P.Emily is a 62-year-old, single, heterosexual.docx
The Case of Emily P.Emily is a 62-year-old, single, heterosexual, African American female who seeks treatment for anxiety. She says she is very concerned since she recently has been pulling her hair out,and it has become noticeable on top of her head. She is taking to wearing hats,which she finds acceptable. She worries about many things, which is not new to her,and she finds that scrubbing her home clean is her best therapy to ease her anxiety.Emily reports that germs have been a regular concern of hers since adolescence, when she learned in health classes about the risks of serious diseases including sexual transmittable disease. Emily presented with meticulous grooming, although the knees of her pants were noted as worn. She has arthritis in herspine and knees and uses a walker to help her manage mobility safely. With her physical disabilities it is challenging sometimes to scrub clean the house daily. This worries her shouldshe get a visitor and the house is not in order as she would like it. She is no longer working,so the amount of time it takes her to scrub the house clean doesn’t delay her daily schedule as it used to.Emily receives Social Security income and is not employed. Although the Social Security is acceptable,her living expenses are always a concern to her. She lives alone in a subsidized apartment in the same building as her 72-year-old, unmarried sister,so rent should not increase. Emily and her sister shared an apartment for over 30 years, beginning when each of their marriages dissolved. Emily reported that when her sister began a romantic relationship 5 years ago, Emily began to feel very anxious and started to cry often. Emily moved into an apartment down the hall in the building and began to pull the hair from her head,hiding her hair loss by wearing wigs. This behavior occurred at different times and resulted in scabbing. Emily said she feels better after but does not always notice how much she is pulling. Her sister learned of Emily’s hair pulling after her wig slipped off one evening to reveal bald spots. She set up a schedule over the past few months with her sister to help stop the hair pulling. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnot. She is worried that she will be disappointing her sister by not sticking to the schedule to reduce her hair pulling. Her sister encouraged Emily to seek treatment rather than “hiding her ways.” Emily is reliant upon her sister for transportation and for a sense of social and emotional connection. Emily worries about bothering her sister due to her transportation needs,and she worriesthatwithouther sister she would be helpless. She knows she is edgy with her sister often and worries that might be from a lack of good sleep. She agreed to this session even though she is pessimistic about anything working. During our initial visit at our local mental health center, Emily shared that when she was 2 years old her mother died from tuberculosis, and the following year her father, an a.

The C-130 is large and unmaneuverable compared to tactical jets. .docx
The C-130 is large and unmaneuverable compared to tactical jets. With a C-130 crew of 7-10 compared to the 1-2 of tactical jets, it would be risky to operate the C-130 exposed to enemy defenses. So although the C-130's readiness would be increased by keeping it airborne for earlier snatch of descending aviators, it wouldn't be wise to hold it airborne near enemy targets. It should be kept in 'safe areas' over Iran or maybe offshore until needed.
But the pronged C-130 is a potential addition to other rescue forces such as helicopters, so the C-130 too is subject to the same kinds of time delays in communication to get it headed to the site of a potential downing. (And remember it has to get there before the surface is reached by the downed aviator.)
How many people could each C-130 theoretically catch mid air? Is it one person rescued per plane? THE TIMING IS TIGHT, SO GETTING A SECOND DESCENDING AVIATOR WOULD BE VERY RARE EVEN IF TECHNICALLY FEASIBLE.
How fast is the C-130 compared to other options like a search and rescue helicopter? MAX SPEED OF A C130 IS 368 MPH, BUT THAT'S GOING 'DOWNHILL. CRUISING SPEED IS UNDER 300 MPH.
If a C-130 didn't reach it's window of time to grab a pilot midair, is it feasible for this type of plane to conduct the rescue on the ground? NOT VIA THE PRONG (WHICH IS INTENDED TO CATCH AN UNFURLED CHUTE). BUT THERE ARE TECHNIQUES SUCH AS FULTON SKYHOOK THAT MIGHT WORK (BUT ARE NOT PART OF YOUR PROBLEM).
What elevation would the tactical aircraft pilots be flying at, and could they lose altitude after getting hit and while still assessing their situations? (Important for determining time constraints.) SMART WEAPONS PERMIT DELIVERY FROM 15,000 FEET OR ABOVE
How would the C-130 locate a pilot upon arriving at the likely downing position? Visually? Some sort of beacon? /Presumably, sighting the pilot, adjusting to compensate for the pilot's descent, and making the grab would all take a good deal of time, especially if the C-130 comes under enemy fire and must conduct evasive maneuvers. VISUALLY/RADIO WITH PILOT IN CHUTE/PERHAPS GPS
IT WOULD BE QUITE RISKY FOR THE PILOT DESCENDING OR AFTER REACHING THE SURFACE, BUT HE/SHE MIGHT USE FLARES TO MAKE SIGHTING BY RESCUE CREWS EASIER. YES, TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE
You mentioned that C-130s are manned by 7-10 people. What is the typical size of a S&R helicopter crew, for comparison? 3-4
A C-130 would probably be an attractive target for Iran's capable air defense systems. How well is the aircraft able to deal with enemy fire? PROBLEMATIC Would it be escorted during S&R? LIKELY, BY JETS Would S&R helicopters be any less vulnerable (presumably not, as they would be descending to make pick-ups)?LESS VULNERABLE DUE SMALLER RADAR SIGNATURE AND DUE GREATER MANEUVERABILITY

The California LegislatureDifferences from the U.S. Congress.docx
The California Legislature
Differences from the U.S. Congress
Equal Bicameral
• Lower house is the Assembly
• 80 members elected every 2 years
• Each district has about 450,000 constituents (700,000 for the U.S. House of
Representatives)
• Upper house is the Senate
• 40 members serve for 4 years
• Half run each 2 years
• Each district has about 900,000 constituent
• Term limits
• Legislators are limited to a total of 12 years in the legislature
• May serve in one or both houses
• Only about 1/3 of bills become laws
Leadership
• Speaker of the Assembly is much more powerful than the Speaker of
the House:
• Controls committee appointments
• Present Speaker is John Perez (new Speaker will be Toni Atkins)
• President Pro tem in the Senate not as powerful
• Shares power with rules committee
• Became more influential under old term limits rules because Senators could
serve for 8 years (as opposed to the 6 for Assembly)
Other features
• Governor may use the line item veto for an appropriations bill
• State legislature is less visible to voters than Congress (media rarely
covers it)
• State legislature is not involved in judicial appointments
• No filibuster
• Initiative process means that legislature doesn’t have a monopoly on
legislation (for good or ill)
• Seniority plays a much smaller role
Problems
• Term limits
• Never develop sufficient expertise
• Especially a problem for leadership
• Less willing to compromise because they don’t have a long working
relationship with other legislators
• Cedes power to bureaucrats & lobbyists
• Has contributed to a rise in minority representation
• E.g., Latino legislators increased from 6% in 1990 to 23% today
• Gridlock over taxation
• 2/3 vote required for increasing taxes by state legislature (Prop. 13)
• Staff slashed by 40% in 1990 (first term limits initiative)
The bright side
• Term limits have contributed to a rise in minority representation
• E.g., Latino legislators increased from 6% in 1990 to 23% today
• (see NCSL web site for more demographic information)
• No filibuster
• 2/3 requirement for passing state budget removed in 2010
• Districts now drawn by a citizen commission rather than by the
legislature
• Open primary encourages less extremism

THE CASE FOR MIXED REALITY TO IMPROVEPERFORMANCEStuart W.docx
THE CASE FOR MIXED REALITY TO IMPROVE
PERFORMANCE
Stuart W. Volkow Alex C. Howland, PhD
The world of work is rapidly changing. Now, more than ever, the need for continuous workforce training
is needed. While there are many benefits to social and experiential offerings of face-to-face training,
distance learning is typically more practical in today’s society. Unfortunately, current distance-learning
technologies lack the immersion necessary for learning 21st-century skills. Virtual reality and
augmented reality (i.e., mixed realities) can be more effective for training and learning than traditional
flat-screen media.
THE FUTURE OF WORK AND THE
OPPORTUNITY OF MIXED REALITIES TO
IMPROVE PERFORMANCE
Robots, automation, and artificial intelligence are rapidly
changing the face of the American workforce. As more
and more jobs are filled by machines, experts agree that
the education marketplace will need to change to keep up
with the growing and widespread need for worker retrain-
ing (Pew Research Center Internet & Technology, 2017).
While there are benefits to the social and experiential
learning experiences that can be offered in a face-to-face
setting, distance learning is often an affordable and flexible
way to provide that training.
Unfortunately, most eLearning and webinar platforms
only offer participants a passive experience (e.g., watch-
ing videos, listening to a lecture). With corporate edu-
cation, including employee orientation, onboarding, and
skill building, passive learning is the norm, consisting
largely of sitting down and consuming pre-packaged con-
tent in bulk that’s presented formally by an educator
(Hinchcliffe, 2017). Such offerings do not help develop the
vital skills needed in today’s increasingly global and dis-
tributed economy, such as teaming, communication, lead-
ership, and cultural intelligence. They also do not immerse
learners into the context of the learning and provide the
ability for learners to practice in a safe environment. As
a result, many learners develop feelings of isolation, dis-
connectedness, and frustration, often associated with poor
retention rates and low return on investment (Willging &
Johnson, 2009).
Mixed-reality technologies (i.e., virtual reality and aug-
mented reality) provide solutions to these problems by
allowing people to come together in an active simulated
environment that allows them to see and interact with fel-
low participants and the simulated environment, regard-
less of geographic location. Such technologies have the po-
tential to dramatically transform education, training, and
human performance. The aim of this article is to provide
an overview of mixed realities (MR), to discuss theories as-
sociated with how the technologies can provide value for
performance, and to provide specific examples of effective
early-use cases.
Introduction to Mixed Realities
Well told, any story can be immersive. From spoken word
to literature, film, and television, imagination work.

The Career Development of Mexican American Adolescent Women:
A Test of Social Cognitive Career Theory

University of Maryland, College Park
This study tested R. W. Lent, S. D. Brown, and G. Hackett’s (1994) model of career choice with 364
Mexican American adolescent women. Path analyses were run to determine the influence of contextual
and social cognitive variables on career aspiration, career choice prestige, and traditionality. Partial
support for the model was evidenced as nontraditional career self-efficacy, parental support, barriers,
acculturation, and feminist attitudes predicted career choice prestige. Acculturation, feminist attitudes,
and nontraditional career self-efficacy predicted career choice traditionality. Feminist attitudes and
parental support predicted career aspiration. The paths between nontraditional career interests and the 3
outcome variables were not supported. Finally, none of the background contextual variables in this study
predicted nontraditional career self-efficacy. Implications of the results and suggestions for future
research are discussed.
Mexican American women constitute a significant portion of the
American population (U.S. Bureau of the Census, 1996), are
underrepresented at all levels of education (Carter & Wilson, 1993;
Lango, 1995; McNeill et al., 2001; U.S. Bureau of the Census,
1991), and are overrepresented in low-paying occupations tradi-
tionally occupied by women (Arbona, 1989; Arbona & Novy,
1991; Ortiz, 1995). Relatively little empirical research has been
conducted to identify the variables that contribute to the educa-
tional and occupational underachievement of Mexican American
women. Indeed, researchers have noted that the career develop-
ment of Hispanics has received only slight consideration in the
counseling and vocational literature (Arbona, 1990; Fouad, 1995;
Hoyt, 1989; McNeill et al., 2001), and they have questioned the
generalizability of career development theories to Hispanics (Ar-
bona, 1990, 1995; Fitzgerald & Betz, 1994; Hackett, Lent, &
Greenhaus, 1991). The purpose of this study was to investigate the
applicability of a current model of career choice to the experiences
of Mexican American adolescent women and to extend the current
model to incorporate variables that are hypothesized to be salient
to this population.
It is well documented that Hispanics are the least educated when
compared with other major racial/ethnic groups in the United
States and that, among Hispanics, Mexican Americans have the
lowest high school and college completion rates (47% and 6.5%,
respectively; U.S. Bureau of the Census, 1996). Mexican Ameri-
can women are less likely to graduate from college than their male
counterparts (Ortiz, 1995; Tinajero, Gonzalez, & Dick, 1991), and
their representation in higher education decreases significantly at
each successive level (Carter & Wilson, 1993). Moreover, those
Mexican American women who pu.
The budget process for Albany, GA is easy to get access to a sim.docx
The budget process for Albany, GA is easy to get access to a simple search was able to get me a lot of information. My untrained eye is unsure how detailed it is, so it could be a lot of fluff. The budget process does seem to be coherent due to the different levels and approvals that the city manager has to go through. The citizens are involved through a public hearing this year was held on June 2nd for the FY 2021. From the search I did, I couldn’t find much commentary that showed that the community disagreed with the process. The process seems very open from the Albany city website. Albany commission leaders and the city manager are very vocal from the local news I see that they are held to task for many of their decisions. I’m not sure is it due to COVID19 but even I tune in the local Facebook open commission meetings now. The impression I get is that the city is more involved and cares more for showing to citizens that they are listening. The citizens from my view are pleased with that response and that difference from when I was in Valdosta I couldn’t even tell u who the major was. It's interesting as someone who has never thought to think how my city spends money to find a lot of resources breaking it down.

Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
