...Characteristics of At-Risk Children AED/201 LaShaun Cummings July 28, 2013 In the United States many students face many problems or terrible conditions in their lives at home, school and in life in general. These problems and conditions can affect students in such a big way when it comes to schoolwork or academic success. Many schools nationwide have set up programs or assistance to help these students succeed despite the problem or condition they are forced to face. Not all students may encounter a problem in school, but some encounter multiple problems. The types of problems and conditions include changing families, poverty, violence, abuse of alcohol and/or drugs, suicide, and child abuse. These are serious problems that many students face in today’s world, which can seriously affect academic success. Students who face one or more of these problems is said to be “at-risk” for academic failure (Axia College, 2005). The characteristics of students placed at-risk are a low SES, inner city, male, transient, minority, non-native English speaker, and divorced families (Axia College, 2005). The only way a school, district, or state can do something about the at-risk students is to assist the needs of these students as much as possible. Many schools, districts, and states have set up special programs for at-risk students, including anything from afterschool programs to housing assistance. Usually the programs assist one of the characteristics of at-risk students to assist...

...Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering ELEG 777 Internet Engineering ( TERM PAPER ) Use of IPSec in Mobile IP DONE BY: SALEM ITANI SUBMITTED TO: Dr. AYMAN KAYSSI DATE: MAY 21, 2001 ID #: 20011003 INTRODUCTION As mobile computing has become a reality, new technologies and protocols have been developed to provide to mobile users the services that already exist for non-mobile users. Mobile IP, one of these technologies, enables a node to change its point of attachment to an internet in a manner transparent to applications running on top of the protocol stack, since its IP address does not change. To provide this transparency, new elements are required: the “home agent”(HA), located in the home network, will forward all incoming packets addressed to the mobile node’s (MN) new location. The foreign agent (FA) is responsible for providing a temporary address to the MN. The flexibility of communication through the Internet allows the existence of such protocols as Mobile IP. As much as this is true, it is as well the fact that every time new protocols or services are made available on the Internet, new security challenges arise. IPSec has been developed as a protocol to provide security at the IP layer. That is to say, using IPSec all communications on the Internet can be accomplished in a secure fashion. Providing security is not an easy task, since many situations have to be taken into account. The approach IPSec uses to address...

...psychological skills through classroom teaching/learning consisting of reflective as well as creative engagement in exercises, projects and hands on experiences. The teaching-learning of the programme would be organized through lectures, group discussions, experiential exercises, group projects, presentations, workshops and seminars. Students would be encouraged to connect to real life issues and participate in the programs and practices in the different social context. To this end practicum is incorporated as an important component in most of the papers with hands on training in the use of various research methods such as: laboratory experiments, field experiments, observation, testing, survey, interview, case study. The programme has three components i.e. Discipline 1(DC1), Discipline 2 (DC2) and Application courses (AC). While in DC 1 practicum is a key component, AC follows a modular pattern where hands on training will be provided for developing psychological skills and their applications. Every semester, teaching will be spread over 16 weeks, including 2 weeks for review. Teaching of DC 1 and...

...false.1 The American Psychological Association sponsored a work asserting: “Recognized researchers in the field on child abuse,… almost unanimously concur that homosexual people are actually less likely to approach children sexually.”2 Why is it, then, that we read about sex between boys and men in every newspaper? Does it merely reflect sensationalist journalism? We know that heterosexual molestation also occurs. But since there are so many more heterosexuals than homosexuals, which kind of child molestation — homosexual or heterosexual — is proportionately more common? The Scientific Evidence Three kinds of scientific evidence point to the proportion of homosexual molestation: 1) survey reports of molestation in the general population, 2) surveys of those caught and convicted of molestation, and 3) what homosexuals themselves have reported. These three lines of evidence suggest that the 1%-to-3% of adults who practice homosexuality3account for between a fifth and a third of all child molestation. Reports of Molestation by the General Population In 1983, a probability survey of the sexual experiences of 4,340 adults in five U.S. cities found that about 3% of men and 7% of women reported sexual involvement with a man before the age of 13 (i.e., 30% was homosexual).4 In 1983-84, a random survey of 3,132 adults in Los Angeles found that 3.8% of men and 6.8% of women said that they had been sexually assaulted in childhood. Since 93% of the assailants were male, and only 1% of...
