...improve overall health. We have looked into the areas of health and wellness, nutrition and fitness, prevention of the most prevalent chronic diseases, how the environment affects our health, and protecting and enhancing our immune systems. These simple steps can lead to optimal health and wellness. We as a team recognize the six dimensions of health in our lives, and feel society is stronger in some areas than others. Areas we would like to see improvements in our social, physical, and environmental health. We can see that it is hard for people to interact with one another in many ways. People do not seem to be able to communicate face to face or feel comfortable with anyone that is not just like themselves. We would like to see people from across the cultures and races learn how to connect in the real world, and see that when we make things better for one, we are really making it better for all. We can do our part by reaching out to others and setting an example of how to treat others and making everyone feel needed and appreciated. Our society is known as an obese nation, and this is causing many avoidable diseases. We need to educate our society on how to make healthy food choices, and how to become physically active. Society cannot achieve optimal health if the environment around us is not healthy. Protecting the planet from pollutants in our water, air or soil will help insure that the food we eat or the air we breathe will not make us sick. Organizing a recycle...

...Artwork about Environmental Education Essay: Importance of Environmental Education There are many challenges faced by our government and ourselves in protecting our environment. Such challenges are caused by lack of discipline, greediness etc. The challenges that we are facing today to protect our natural resources are illegal loggers, deforestation projects, irresponsible disposal of wastes, careless use of products from natural resources, and other over produced products from natural resources. Hopefully if we will be able to stop this challenges we could be able to help preserve our environment. For me as a youth of this community, the importance of environmental education is that you will be able to learn about the things that can happen in an environment. You will learn about the cause and effect of such things in the environment when such people do certain activities. Also through environmental education, we will be able to know the importance of our environment. This will show how humans manage their behaviour and interaction with our environment. As a normal citizen of our country I could help protecting our environment in my own simple ways like : proper segregation of garbages, recycling things, help in community services, using paper instead of plastics for containers, and lastly by conserving energy. With proper disposal of garbage we can minimize the volume of wastes in our community thus helps us prevent air and water pollution. If we recycle things we...

...Benefits and Pitfalls of Information Security in an Office Environment Daniel Miller Troy State University Benefits and Pitfalls of Information Security in an Office Environment Introduction Information security is a critical concern in most, if not all modern office environments. Moreover, the more an organization depends on information technology to execute its core functions, the more important information security proportionally becomes (Tiwari & Karlapalem, 2005). Although companies have always recognized the importance of protecting sensitive information, the particular issue of information security is largely an outgrowth of the invention of modern computers. Starting during World War II, computer scientists and operators began to recognize the major contours of modern information security systems: protection of physical premises, hardware, and software (Whitman and Mattord, 2010, p. 3). Today, information security practices are prevalent across all forms of business and government, especially where personal computers and the Internet are used. Typical office and business environments are natural sites for information security to be implemented, and such practices have both advantages and disadvantages—or benefits and pitfalls. The benefits of information security in office environments are primarily related to its ability to contribute to business success by securing systems, data, and other key assets from threats and attacks. Conversely, the...

...difficult, taking at least five tries before succeeding in changing the unhealthy behavior (Donatelle, p. 17, 2011). Increasing society’s awareness about the effects of these elements puts us on a path to optimal health and wellness. Top Three Elements Three elements we would increase in society are physical, spiritual and environmental. Although we agreed social wellness was is important we believed that taking care of our environment would impact both our physical and spiritual elements, especially if we committed ourselves to actively cleaning up our neighborhoods and communities. As we should be exercising at five days a week for at least twenty minutes a day and eating well balanced meals, learning more about taking care of our environment would produce the knowledge of creating a healthier environment to live in. Like taking on the physical aspect of walking through our neighborhoods picking up trash or going door to door letting our neighbors know of the benefits of conserving energy, recycling, etc. Helping to keep our environment healthy greatly reduces risk factors for dangerous and potentially deadly diseases. We would also be increase our spiritual element by becoming in tune with the earth, feeling like we are part of a bigger picture and that we are doing are part to claim a piece of it and the satisfaction of knowing that we are helping...

Ayad The rise in temperature of the Earth may seem nothing to you, however they have devastating impacts on all of our lives. I daresay, our lives are threatened! Natural disasters such as heat waves will happened often due to the increase in temperature. All of us should be very thankful because we are blessed with such a beautiful environment to live in. Even so, the environment we are granted with may not last for a long period if we do not take necessary actions to save it. We must realize that each one of us is responsible and plays a role in saving the environment. Many people tend to question the reasons for saving the environment. There are several reasons why we need to save the environment; that is to prevent the extinction of living organism, to prevent global warming, and to preserve Mother Nature. Firstly, saving the environment will help to prevent the extinction of living organism. Living organism refers mainly to the wildlife and also the plants which is the source of oxygen.. For example, wildlife needs certain habitats to survive or will become extinct if their habitats are destroyed. Before we even damage the environment, we should question ourselves, wouldn’t it hurt our eyes to see those cute bears, birds or insects become extinct? Plus, it would be a shame if we...

The Hub Transport role which handles the flow of messaging from one place to another. I also learned about mail transfer protocols such as SMTP which is the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol and its used for sending messages over the internet from server to server, but when you have mail coming in from the outside and from all over the place its best to use SMPT over TLS also called SSL, SSL is used for protecting your emails with encryption one way is by using the key system.

...“PROTECTING WHAT’S IMPORTANT: AN HSE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM PRIMER” Abstract Introduction The term Health, Safety and Environmental Management System (HSE-MS) is a much used and indeed a much abused term in today’s oil and gas industry. We hear and see it utilized nonchalantly by HSE professionals the world over but for many people a HSE-MS is somewhat of a unicorn, a mythical beast that they have heard of in folk lore but never actually have seen living and breathing in real life. These people are often the individuals the system was designed to protect creating a serious gap in implementing the HSE-MS. Some 4 years ago the former Shell Deepwater Services (SDS) was facing the roll out of their HSE-MS and the question was asked by the Management Team how do we get our personnel to explicitly understand our HSE-MS so that we can get maximum benefit from it? The result of asking this question has been the development and introduction of a series of critically acclaimed workshops aimed at demonstrating an HSE-MS as simply as possible. “Protecting What’s Important 1” and “Protecting What’s Important 2” workshops have received considerable approval from participants for the manner in which the information is presented and for the awareness the courses bring. Description of Workshops Protecting What’s Important 1 In 2000 a team of SDS employees were organized with the goal of bridging the gap between SDS personnel and the HSE-MS. A series of development meetings...

...Alternative Ways to Animal Testing In the world today, science has seen its better days. Scientific methods developed and invented scientists have been used to demonstrate and explain almost everything in the world. Researchers studying biological issues have produced reports informing about the issues that surround us. For example, in tests that require human spacemen have been conducted using non-human animals for biological animal testing all over the world. Research has shown that about 100 million vertebrates are used for animal tests in the world every year; it has been reported that about 20 million rats were used within the United States for testing in 2001 (Hart, Wood, & Hart 35). This is alarming as far as animal protection issues are concerned. Animal rights organizations have however differed with these reports about the same issues raising havoc in matters of biological testing (Hunnicutt 65). This contradiction raises ethical issues in the field of scientific research requiring quick reconciliation of both groups to solve the problems of slowed critical medical researches; the Last Chance for Animals (LCA) and the Foundation for Biomedical Research (FBR) are an example of such differing research bodies. The Last Chance for Animals advocates for the abolition of the practise while FBR finds the practice legitimate and significant. This paper concentrates at the differing points of view of Last Chance for Animals and The Foundation for Biomedical Research...

...now one among them. Which inherits some remarkable characteristics like being easiest and also quickest way of committing it. In a simple way it can either be defined as a combination of crime and computer. Or any offence or crime in which involved are computers and networks. Origins of Cybercrime combine the term crime with the root cyber from the word cybernetic, from the Greek, kubernân, which means to lead or govern. The cyber environment includes all forms of digital activities, regardless of whether they are conducted through networks and without borders. This extends the previous term computer crime to encompass crimes committed using the Internet, all digital crimes, and crimes involving telecommunications networks. For example, cybercrimes can range from being fraud to unrequested emails (spam). They can also steal both government and corporate secrets by hijacking through official sites. These crimes also involve in stealing huge amounts of money from online bank accounts. Cybercrimes can also indulge in non-money offenses like creating viruses on others computers or posting some confidential information on the internet. (Which at once affected entire world except India as our people doesn’t possess any protection to our computers). In altogether, these cybercrimes can never amount to a single category. As we have them committing in various ways and places. Unlike other countries, cyber Crime is not defined in Information Technology Act 2000 or in ...

...Human Behavior: Negative and Positive Effects on the Environment Human behavior has many effects on the environment; some of which are negative and some that are positive. The environment also affects human behavior. Negative effects of human behavior can be seen in animal extinction, climate change, pollution, noise, and deforestation, just to name some. Protecting the ozone layer, conserving earth’s resources such as; water and power, and protecting endangered animals are some of the ways that human behavior has a positive effect on the environment. When something in the environment triggers important information or causes a reaction it is known as an environmental cue. Environmental cues often affect human behavior. Environmental Impact Humans cannot possibly avoid impact of the environment; just existing creates an impact on the environment. However that impact can be positive. The negative impact that humans have on the environment is the main concern today and causes concern for the future. Humans have changed the environment by making adaptations to make living more comfortable. However humans don’t always consider the consequences for the behaviors they exhibit (Derreby, 2011). Environmental Cues Steg (2013) describes environmental cues as environmental elements that trigger a reaction or send information that is important. Environmental cues signal humans to behave in sync with social norms or to engage in a specific action, however the response...
