...distinct shape, and it appears like a cloudy white donut. The tighter the circle, the more clearly the eye is defined and easily shows the power and intensity of the storm. General Overview: A hurricane is a storm system that is defined as, “a tropical storm with winds that have reached a constant speed of 74 miles per hour or more.” (Louisiana Homeland Security) These storms are dangerous in several ways. Hurricanes have torrential rains, dangerous winds, raging storm surges, and many tornadoes directly associated with the power of the hurricanes. A hurricane is also directed by the steering currents from the jet stream. They can last for weeks to a month depending on the speed and how fast they make landfall. The mountainous terrain is a hurricane killer and will prevent a storm from strengthening. A hurricane starts as a tropical storm or tropical depression. These systems are almost exclusively in tropical parts of the world, and the formation predominantly travels over oceans and warmer water temperatures which produce tropical air and evaporation thereby feeding the system. Depending on its location and strength, a tropical cyclone is referred to by names such as hurricane, typhoon, tropical storm, cyclonic storm, and tropical depression. Heavy rains from a tropical system can produce significant flooding inland, and storm surges can produce extensive coastal...

...About two hundred years before, the word "computer" started to appear in the dictionary. Some people even didn't know what is a computer. However, most of the people today not just knowing what is a computer, but understand how to use a computer. Therefore, computer become more and more popular and important to our society. We can use computer everywhere and they are very useful and helpful to our life. The speed and accuracy of computer made people felt confident and reliable. Therefore, many important information or data are saved in the computer. Such as your diary, the financial situation of a oil company or some secret intelligence of the military department. A lot of important information can be found in the memory of computer. So, people may ask a question: Can we make sure that the information in the computer is safe and nobody can steal it from the memory of the computer? Physical hazard is one of the causes of destroying the data in the computer. For example, send a flood of coffee toward a personal computer. The hard disk of the computer could be endangered by the flood of coffee. Besides, human caretaker of computer system can cause as much as harm as any physical hazard. For example, a cashier in a bank can transfer some money from one of his customer's account to his own account. Nonetheless, the most dangerous thief are not those who work with computer every day, but youthful amateurs who experiment at night ---...

...Dawkins is widely known for his beliefs that religion is a dangerous virus of the mind. Readers, who are unfamiliar with the essay „Virus of the Mind‟, like myself, feel that the notion being put forward appears sarcastic and somewhat harsh. Initially when I read the essay I had already decided in my mind that I would not agree to Dawkins‟ beliefs as the idea that religion is a virus sounds bizarre. People have the tendency to think negatively when the word virus is brought up. Whilst I agree with Dawkins‟ statement that religion is a „Virus of the Mind‟ and it spreads the same way that viruses do, I believe he is also trying to spread atheism in the same way. Thus, Dawkins is being a hypocrite to his cause. Richard Dawkins starts of with the idea that „a human child is shaped by evolution to soak up the culture of her people‟ (Warburton, 2010, pp. 92). According to Dawkins, young children are highly gullible and will believe almost everything that is being told to them. He gives examples of how children worldwide are taught to believe in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy, which are non-existent. As and when the child grows up they realise these characters are actually not true. Children are more likely to survive if they learn and believe what is taught to them by their parents, but a potential problem that arises is that children are very willing to believe something that is not true. Therefore, just as a patient is susceptible to a virus infection, a child can ...

...Okoye Ratliff 4/29/2014 University Life RL. Coleman Technology makes communication easier in today’s world. Many people choose to work at home in front of a computer screen. What danger does society face depending on computer screens rather than face-to-face contact as the main means of communication? Are we the prisoners of the progress. Technology has come a long way since the first advancements of the first super computer prototype. Since then computers have effectively become more and more helpful as the times have passed. Today a computer is one of the most if not most important piece of technology in any household, business, company, school, or office. Computers limit the need for excessive acts to handle matters such as sending documents very long distances, talking to loved ones miles away, working, managing finances and saving money, learning information and much more. Having unlimited ways of making life easier naturally will manifest problem or forms of weaknesses from people that try to use this tool for wrong doing and scams and purposes other than helping people. Computers have draw backs that can cause unwanted expenses. If computers are the main source of how a someone handles and conducts business such as a company that depends on computers too heavily can be susceptible to stolen information at the hands of hackers, viruses, Trojans, and any other ways to steal information that can cause a company or business millions in damage cost or even ruin in...

...there is also the possibility to make your real friends your online-friends. Searching for information you will find a huge amount of it on every topic you are searching for. This can be very comfortable. You only have to type in a word and you will find everything about it. But be careful! There is also false information. Sometimes it is hard to distinguish between true and false information. Often you have the possibility to listen to music on the internet. You may also download it for free. That is very cheap because you only have to pay the telephone-costs and the music is for free. What does that mean for the musicians? They will not get all their money they would normally receive. That is not too dangerous for the well-known musicians but it can become dangerous to the little ones who cannot afford to lose a part of their income. What about communicating with an online-friend? You will send him/her an email. It is faster than a letter, cheaper than a telephone call and easier to use than a radio set. But: Is the encryption-code secure...

...outgoing. The control between the incoming networks and the outgoing is managed by the firewall. The protection and the enhancement of the security of the browser through the firewall is done through the creation or formulation of an obstacle which prevents the browser and the network that they are using from other networks that could be potentially harmful to the browser (Siyan, & Hare, 1995). In its action in preventing harmful networks from malicious activities on the user's browser, the firewall prevents the private and potentially dangerous networks from private providers. The firewall has various points of checking, ascertaining that a given network is authorized and subsequently preventing or allowing access. This way, the Internet from the public cannot be capable of transverse the user's network (Chapman, & Zwicky, 1995). There are various types of firewalls, and each firewall serves in protecting the browser at different levels depending on the required level of security. The three types of firewall include the packet filter firewall, the proxies, and the application layer firewalls. Each plays a distinct role in facilitating and enhancing the Internet security of the browser. One of the primary tasks of the different types of firewall is to ensure that the IP address of the browser is fully protected and not in the view of other public networks (Siyan, & Hare, 1995). Accessing the Internet with a Firewall The application and use of firewalls have facilitated...

...communication, control and manage through all the stages of the shipping in negotiating handling cost, transportation as well as contract. For example a customer that is relocating and want to ship all his property, I must be able to negotiate with the customer professionally with handling cost and other charged fee. During the shipping I must establish communication and every phase of the shipping. Regulation: there are different rules that govern movement of goods from one point to another depending on the type and class of goods being ship and the mode of transporting the goods. So a freight forwarder must know all this regulations like custom regulation, terms of trade, political situation, transportation law and legal liability. For example shipping dangerous equipment to another country, you must know if your company is licensed to carry such and also know the regulation of bringing such equipment to the orignor. Information Technology: In today’s world, freight forwarders cannot do without computer system. They need this for making quotation, electronic data exchange (EDI), also make use of e-commerce and satellite system to track real timing goods at each stage of shipping. For example if am shipping I can track the movement of my goods should in case it was diverted and they pass another route from the expected...

According to My Next Move, I would only need a high school diploma and to complete the police academy (4 months of training) and on the job training (riding with a senior officer for 4 months). According to the website for the City of Frisco, TX you must also obtain and maintain TCLEOSE certifications, and all regulatory requirements for Texas Police Officer License. An associate or bachelor degree might be helpful, depending upon the specialized career path I could pick. If I chose to pursue additional avenues that would use my police officer license at the FBI/CIA or other governmental agencies, there would also be additional training that would be required including ability to speak in 8 different languages, Quantico training and additional physical and training requirements. I would need to be knowledgeable in law and government, public safety and security.

...is a phreaker? A hacker is a person who uses information systems or data networks without permission or in ways that violate the owner’s intentions, usually by bypassing controls or ignoring policy. A phreaker is a hacker on the voice telecommunication network. 4. What are the three components of the C.I.A. triangle? What are they used for? The C.I.A. triangle, an industry standard for computer security since the development of the mainframe, is based on the three characteristics of information that make it valuable to organizations: confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Confidentiality is the protection of information from disclosure or exposure to unauthorized individuals or systems. This means that only those with the rights and privileges to access information are able to do so. Integrity is when information remains whole, complete, and uncorrupted. The integrity of information is threatened when the information is exposed to corruption, damage, destruction, or other disruption of its authentic state. Availability enables authorized users—persons or computer systems—to access information without interference or obstruction, and to receive it in the required format. 5. If the C.I.A. triangle no...
