...foray into Linux I had no idea what to write about in relation to being a Unix Administration. After looking at the topics I chose “configuration of users, group, and file/directory permissions for several reasons. The first is that I did spend some time many years ago setting up an active directory infrastructure so I am hoping to relate how to set up users in Linux to mirror that structure; if that is at all possible. The second reason is that one of the first thing an server administrator would have to do after booting and loading a file system would be to define permissions’ to allow people to get access to either the application or data on the server. I suspect that a lot of thought would have to be put into doing this, if it is not done correctly it will be ad hoc or have to be redone multiple times to get it right. Having to redo it might require all of the users to lose access while it is being redone. I think explaining how to set up the file/directory permissions relating to the access capabilities of the user/groups will also be interesting to learn. Finally the other reason that I chose this topic is that it has the most words so I in my thinking if it took that long to describe the topic hopefully there will be enough material to fill up a research paper. My goal in doing the research is to gain an understanding on these topics and pass that information on to anyone that is as clueless as I currently am on Linux. I will accomplish this by separating the two topics...

...behavior problems who are referred by a social service agency. She is also a doctoral candidate who proposes using data she has and will collect about the children for a case-based research project. Which of the following statements about parental permission is correct? Your answer : The parents of the children might feel pressure to give permission to the therapist to use their children's data so that she will continue to provide services to their children. Correct Answer : The parents of the children might feel pressure to give permission to the therapist to use their children's data so that she will continue to provide services to their children. Comment : When a care provider becomes a researcher, both the child clients and their parents may not feel free to choose not to participate in the provider's study. A researcher who is also a care provider needs to be very clear that a decision not to participate in a study, or to allow records to be used, will not affect the care provided in the future. The fact that the therapist has access to her clients' records as a clinician does not entitle her to use information in the records for research purposes without parental permission and child assent. A school authority's permission to conduct the research does not replace the need for permission or assent. Finally, the children's right to choose cannot be overridden in the pursuit of an indeterminate community interest. Points Earned : 1 Question 2 Question : A general...

...In 1951, at John Hopkins Hospital, Dr. George Gey, without permission, took Henrietta Lacks’ cancer cells because he wanted to do research. His intentions were respectable, and he ended up growing the cells and distributing them to the scientific community. Gey had discovered a scientific breakthrough, HeLa cells, but did so without the knowledge of Henrietta Lacks or the Lacks family. Even though many people do not agree with Gey’s decision, his actions helped develop many vaccines and cures, so some people agree with the decision to take the cells, whether permission had been granted by Lacks or not. Gey did not know that what he was doing was wrong so he cannot be put to blame. The fact that there was not a law stating that someone needs consent before taking the cells of another person for research is more to blame than Gey was. However, Gey should not have distributed the HeLa cells without the knowledge and consent of Lacks and her family....

In other case, if she holds the stocks and the company get the permission to open the floating casino, then she can sell it for $60 per share while in the worst scenario, the price of the stock will fall together with the bearish market. Alternative 1: Investing in the IPO of Tech Company could be a good decision unless there is a good possibility of growth in the market. This investment could be the profitable as the technology companies are growing rapidly. They can earn good profits and the profit margins in these types of companies are good. NewestHighTech.com has received early financing, and it has found its new client who is using its chip to manufacture the cell phones. Therefore, in this situation this can be a profitable investment. Nevertheless, if the economy is going to face the downturn, then the investment could be the nightmare. The tech industry will be hit hard in case the economy faces recession. The mobile phones sales will be reduced as the result of which the company's chips sale will be affected leading to low profit. Alternative 2: The alternative of buying the Casinos stock remains to be the midpoint. The stocks can go high if the court grants the permission for the floating casino. If the permission is deferred by the court, then the company will lose the profitable investment opportunity. This restriction will not relay the positive message for the investors...

...To some extent, I think race, class, and “the times” were the factors that were responsible for Henrietta’s cell being taken from her without her permission. I think “the times” was the most important factor that led to a series of actions of staff as Johns Hopkins and George Gey. At that time, racism was still a very serious issue in the society and segregation was law in Baltimore. Black people were always been separated from white people in public area like bus, restaurant, and hospitals etc. In Johns Hopkins, there colored restrooms, colored wards, and even colored-only fountains. Since Hopkins was built as a charity hospital for people do not have enough money to pay for medical bills, and it is the only hospital in the neighborhood that treated black patients, the hospital already knew that those poor patients would be grateful enough if they can get treatment and won’t be a threaten to them, so they might be able to do whatever they need and...

...Ethics in Marketing Research Introduction: Today, it is far too easy to begin practicing marketing research. But unethical research practice relying on poor information to make major decision has resulted in loss of market share, reduction in profits, and, in some cases, bankruptcy. Ethics are moral principles or values generally governing the conduct of an individual or group. Ethics behavior is not, however, a one-way relationship clients, suppliers, as well as field services, must also act in an ethical manner. Ethical questions range from practical, narrowly defined issues, such as a researcher's obligation to be honest with its customers, to broader social and philosophical questions, such as a company's responsibility to preserve the environment and protect employee rights. Unethical practices by some suppliers include abusing respondents, selling unnecessary research, and violating client include requesting bids when a supplier has been predetermined, requesting bids gain to free advice methodology, marketing false promises, and issuing unauthorized requests for proposals. Marketing research field services have used professional respondents, which I unethical. Respondents have certain rights, including the rights to choose whether to participate in a marketing research project, the right to safety from physical and psychological harm, and the right to be informed of all aspects of the research task. They should know what is involved, how long it will take...

...Future of Media: A Proposal For Change Tiffin University Michael Granger April 25, 2014 COM241 Intro to Mass Communication As the age of information races on at a dizzying pace, what changes to the various media sources need to take place? In this essay I will attempt to answer that question. Through my research I have identified three areas that could well be addressed. Internet marketing should be strictly permission based, the quality of local cable news programs should be increased dramatically, and an on-line cell phone directory should be developed. These few changes would have a positive effect on the way the public utilizes media sources. I shall begin with Internet marketing. With each keystroke, everything you do on the Internet is tracked. Marketers will then use that information to bombard the Internet user with various advertisements and offers. While customizing the ads to the specific user is a useful tool to marketers, it is much like the “interruption based” advertising used on television programs. There are better ways to reach a potential client. Permission based marketing (Straubhaar, 2014, p. 322) is the answer. Permission marketing is not a new concept. It has been utilized by reputable marketing companies for many years. It is my position however that this type of marketing should be the standard for all Internet marketing. As big data continues growing in scope and size and marketing becomes increasingly targeted, the issue...
