...Executive Summary City Area Parent Support (CAPS) are looking into the development of a new project, the project will serve parents and carers whom are caring for a loved one struggling with substance misuse issues or addiction. Evening Support Sessions (The ESS Group) will give carers an opportunity to engage in structured group support sessions. CAPS have identified through research a gap in provision for those carers who perhaps can’t access support because of other responsibilities such as needing to work, within the typical service delivery hours of between 9am & 5pm. This project will serve any parent or carer living in the City area including surrounding areas. This will be a pilot short term project with the hope of development in the future depending on the outcomes and its success. It is a simple plan which will promote social inclusion, tackle isolation and provide an opportunity for carers to build effective relationships and friendships with others in a similar situation. Introduction City Area Parent Support (CAPS) is a registered charitable organisation established since 2007 and based in the xxxx Area of City. CAPS provide both practical and emotional support to parents and carers whom are troubled by addiction within the family across the city.

...Findings How can we include students with disabilities in a general educational setting is the main focus. With the inclusion of all the data that has been collected for this research has been made clear to me that there a few findings I found that were instrumental to me clarifying this question. My interpretation of the data concluded that I am on the right path in finding innovative ways to incorporate inclusion in my future teaching practices. Findings #1: One of the techniques I have seen during my research is Peer support Arrangement. This technique has been evident during my observations. It was not uncommon to see students without disabilities helping those with disabilities. There were no need for constant teacher interaction. The students took it upon themselves to give guidance to one another. During one of my observations I wrote in my journal, “I was observing Student L trying to help Student LU with the...

...is the peer to peer model. This model is an ideal selection for a company or organization when there are very few computers. Since your organization currently has 20 Windows peer to peer client computers I would like for you to consider moving towards the client server network modelOnce a peer-to-peer network grows beyond 10 computers, it will likely begin to suffer from performance and from administrative problems (Posey, 2000) In the client server network model network hosts have specific roles which are assigned to them. There are certain host that are assigned as servers, which will provide network resources to the workstations. Unlike the current peer to peer model that is supported in your organization today in which everyone workstation has the same or similar operating systems. There are several benefits for your organization to consider to transitioning to client server network model. One of the major benefits of the client server network model is scalability. Since we know the potential for this organization to double in size over the next two years scalability is a key factor. It’s very easy to expand the size of your network with client server model because it will be easy to just add on workstation. Everything is centralized to the server. This server will be the centralized platform for all the workstations. Another major benefit of this client server model is increased security. This server will provide security that Ocper, Inc. current peer to peer...

...| How is Digital Piracy Hurting Modern Society? | | | Introduction Digital Piracy is a huge crime that is large hurting the entertainment business here in the United States and in other countries, but the question I ask myself is how digital piracy hurting modern society? What actions are our governments taking to stop people from downloading illegal music, movies, and software? How much of a profit loss is effecting the companies that are producing this digital material? If someone knows what the punishment is for downloading music, movies, and software would they still do it. This research will aim to understand what is digtal piracy is and why it is that people download illegal software, movies, and music. Literature review In the article Examine Digital Piracy: Self-Control, Punishment, and Self-Efficacy, the authors introduce what digital piracy is and how it changes on a constant basis. They show how the “United States government has been cooperating in the fight against digital piracy with the software, music and movie industries with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DCMA)” (Zhang, Smith, McDowell, 2009). They discuss how most people think that digital piracy is acceptable, it a soft crime and it does not hurt anyone, and most think that this information should be exchanged freely. The authors also did an online-survey study on college students who were taking Management Information Sciences (MIS) course at a public university in the southern United...

...NEAR FIELD COMMUNICATION Near Field Communication is an immerging technology in the field of wireless industry. NFC technology can be used in billing counters, buses, or sharing information to friends. It can be used by swapping the smart phone over NFC enabled device such as a NFC tag which has information stored in it. For example instead of swiping credit card in the card reader at any shop we can just simply take out phone from our pocket and wave it over the NFC enabled reader and credit card information will be transferred to the bank. HISTORY OF NFC NFC is not an innovation basically but an advance version of other short range wireless technologies like RFID. NFC forum was created to define the standards of NFC and facilitate it for further growth. NFC forum was founded in year 2004 in collaboration by Sony, Nokia and Philips. It define some standards which has to be followed by the NFC enabled devices and smartphones. The forum also ensures the inter compatibility of the NFC devices, which means that any NFC device can communicate with any other NFC device which provides a simple and fast way to transfer data and therefore it doesn’t restrict users to a few devices. Currently some companies have started using NFC technology such as Google and PayPal and this will encourage users to try this new technology. NFC is focusing on United States and is ready to establish itself as simple, contactless payment system. ...

...all these sharing, internet has become a common place to upload and download audio-visual materials like recorded films. Copyright is a common method used to protect ones production rights on a particular piece of material over the internet. In fact, the graph below shows that copyright infringement is the most common type of infringement; Figure 1: source; Canadian SME However, in peer-to-peer file sharing, most people infringe these rights and pass other people’s work as their own. In fact, IFPI states in their report that “the ease of access to music by means of illegal file sharing has damaged its perceived value to customers”. This has been a great challenge to music and film industry globally (Leyshon, A., 2003). For instance in the recent emergence of file swapping services that are based on the internet. These services include Napster that has allowed huge exploitation of recorded work without any little authorization of the users. Actually, this has been attributed to the slow rate of sales in CDs and DVDs due to enabled file sharing (P2P). (Mortimer, J. 2012). Peer-to-Peer sharing and copyright law Copyright in this context is the legal protective law for all kinds of creative work on any form(s) of media. This law therefore limits unfair usage of these intellectual properties in both real world and cyberspace. Infringement of these laws is called piracy. Piracy is an illegal...

...and record production companies as well as software and video game development companies suffer from billions of dollars in lost profits. This loss comes as a direct result of internet piracy. Many agree that file sharing is unethical and consider it to be no different than downright theft. On the other hand, there are those that support file sharing and claim that their actions are easily justified and ethical. This essay will provide a brief overview and history of file sharing, will consider the arguments of each side, and will offer my personal observations and stance on the issue. File sharing, put simply, is the process of making available and distributing files via the internet. Many freely developed applications have been made available that simplify this process, providing the ability to easily search for, download, and upload any piece of digital content imaginable. These applications are commonly referred to as P2P or peer-to-peer applications as they allow individuals (peers) to directly connect with other peers to share files. By themselves, such applications are useless; a central network must be available that allows each peer to see one another. These networks are typically hosted or paid for by the developers of the P2P application. Although P2P networks are probably the most common and accessible to the average internet user, there are a host of other applications and/or methods that provide the same services and in many cases faster access to more...

...immigrant family as an important factor in attaining greater opportunities and ultimately an improved lifestyle. The process of accomplishing the American dream is one which is not always easy and comes with many challenges. One important challenge was getting the resources I needed to further my academic goals, which was hampered by my parents’ inability to understand the educational system in the United States, and my parents’ limited financial assets. As a result, I knew I would have to depend on outside assistance. This proved to be a difficult task for me, because as a male I felt there was a negative stigma associated with asking for help from an outside source as this may display vulnerability. Nevertheless, with dedication and support from those who I trusted, it made the American dream more possible. My parents’ experiences have led them to have high expectations of me, and encouraged me to aspire for the highest achievement possible considering they were not fortunate enough to have the opportunity to acquire a higher degree than primary school. They were forced to deal with issues of oppression in their home country, involved...

...Consolidate (centralize) data storage Share peripheral devices like printers Increase internal and external communications Increase productivity and collaboration One way to classify networks is based on the role network devices play: Network Type Description Peer-to-peer In peer-to-peer networking (also called workgroups), each computer controls access to its own resources. Security controls on each computer identify who can have access to the computer's resources. Advantages of peer to peer networks include: Easy implementation Inexpensive Disadvantages of peer to peer networks include: Difficult to expand (not scalable) Difficult to support Lack centralized control No centralized storage Windows 7 includes a new feature called a HomeGroup. The HomeGroup is a simple way to create a peer-to-peer network for sharing files and printers. Client/server In client/server networking, shared resources reside on special computers called servers. Other computers, called clients connect to the server to access resources. Security controls on the server identify which clients can have resource access. Advantages of client/server networks include: Easily expanded (scalable) Easy support...

...In order to implement a more productive network for your company we must first take a look at your network type and structure. You are currently using a peer-to-peer network which has worked well for you since you don’t have a dedicated technical support or networking person on staff, but this type of network is not very flexible when it comes to expanding. A peer-to-peer network is also not necessarily secure and is not practical for connecting more than a few computers because they do not always centralize resources (Dean, 2009). Since we will be connecting 20 computers now and you plan to double in size over the next two years I believe that switching you over to a client/server network would be more beneficial to you in the end. With a client/server network you will experience quite a few advantages over your current peer-to-peer network which include having user logon account and passwords in one centralized location, access to multiple shared resources, problems on the network can be monitored, diagnosed, and fixed from one location and faster response time because servers are optimized to handle heavy processing loads (Dean, Network+ Guide to Networking, 2009). I would suggest that we upgrade from the current coax cable, which has a data speed ranging from 10 MB per second up to 350 MB per second, to a twisted pair cable that has a data speed of up to 1 GB per second (Gates, 2011). Twisted pair cable consists of a pair of insulated wires that are twisted together. The...
