The cyberspace has witnessed a criminal insurrection in the past few years. Nowadays, cyber criminals use elementary concepts to conduct deceptive online transactions. What’s more, organizations face an extremely complicated task of developing a safe network system. One of the most notable dissimilarities from conventional engineering speciality is the prevalence of creative and expert hackers who attack such systems. There are numerous factors that enhance the vulnerability of a secured network system. For example, the escalating computer and software connectivity is one such factor. The pressure to distribute systems via internet presents additional threats since cyber criminals can instigate online attacks easily. In addition, although the prevalence of program extensibility provides flexible software for novel business requirements, it also creates avenues for superfluous malevolent extensions (Netland, 2008, p. 3). Risk Analysis and Mitigation Vulnerability refers to a system bug or a design error whereas a threat refers to a skilled antagonist who aspires to take advantage of vulnerability within a network system (Netland, 2008, p. 16). The following sections discuss various threats and vulnerabilities prevalent within network systems. Man-in-the-Middle Attack This is a form of communication attack where the hacker relays bogus messages to the operator. Usually, the hacker sends messages to the system operator signifying a system change. When the system operator tries to rectify the problem by following the laid-out procedures, the hacker seizes this opportunity and attacks the system. The man-in-the-middle attack is also known as integrity attack since the actions of the system operators are based on the integrity of the data. However, man-in-the-middle attack is a complex cyber crime since the attacker must possess exceptional skills and collect a lot of information passing through the network to be able to launch an attack (Yu-Lun et al, 2009, p. 69). Terminal-to-Terminal Attacks When students access university website via mobile terminals, hackers can launch their attacks using a direct wireless connection through a wireless access point. In addition, hackers can use the wired infrastructure to launch attacks on an open wireless network. For instance, hackers can install a rogue access point that operates malevolent software. Therefore, mobile terminals are extremely susceptible to this attack if they lack updated antivirus software as well as firewalls. It is worthy to note that malicious access points can result in grave security breach since they bestow hackers with authenticated access to information asset of the university (Netland, 2008, p. 16). Thus, it is important that malicious access points are identified and elim
Classification of the Two Organizational Cultures Endothon It is agreeable that Endothon has a market-oriented organizational culture. Two facts explain why the firm has this kind of culture. To begin with, the employees focus on the demands of the customers (Cheng & Seeger, 2012). The second reason is that the workers do not follow strict procedures. The first expectation of these employees is to satisfy the needs of the targeted customers. The second one is that the workers develop positive practices that can maximize customer satisfaction (Cheng & Seeger, 2012). Technique Techfite’s organizational culture is employee-oriented. Several facts explain why Techfite embraces this kind of culture. To begin with, Techfite’s managers empower their employees using adequate resources. This goal is achieved through continuous training, guidance, and empowerment. The targeted resources include appropriate tools, skills, and machines. Secondly, the firm creates the best working environment for the workers. The employees are motivated to deliver positive results (Kansal & Chandani, 2014). The first expectation of the workers is that the company should realize its goals within the specified period. When the targeted objectives are realized, the employees become empowered. The second one is that Techfite should provide quality resources to maximize the workers’ productivity (Kansal & Chandani, 2014). Such resources include desirable skills, machines, and work-life balance. Organizational Change: Aligning Techfite’s and Endothon’s Culture The best model to align these two cultures is Kurt Lewin’s Change framework. The first stage outlined by the model is unfreezing. This phase empowers the workers in both organizations to accept the proposed change. The workers can be informed about the targeted objectives. The next stage is implementing the change . The two firms will be required to engage in new practices such as teamwork and collaboration (Drori, Wrzesniewski, & Ellis, 2011). The employees should be educated about the benefits of the targeted project. Consequently, the employees will work hard to produce a powerful system that supports the organizations’ goals. The final stage is called refreezing . This phase ensures the workers e
The increasing use and integration of technology to exploit new business ideas to meet the dynamically changing market needs, underlies the use of e-wallet, an idea which has come at the right time. However, the practicability of applying the e-wallet idea in the Australian market is based on results that are generated based on an organizational feasibility study conducted on DayMark, which is the company projecting to translate the e-wallet business idea into the proposed business plan which could gradually be rolled out into the market for the purpose of creating a market share and gradually generate profits for the company (Phene, Fladmoe-Lindquist & Marsh, 2006, p.5). While feasibility analysis requires intensive investigations into the workability of the e-wallet idea in Australian market for the purpose of authentication and payments, the organizational feasibility requires an investigation into DayMark’s ability to implement the business idea. The underlying issues related to the feasibility of the idea include management prowess and resource sufficiency to implement the e-wallet idea. The critical components here are to determine whether DayMark has enough and well trained personnel, organizational competence, and sufficient resources to start the business (Liberman & Montgomery, 1988, p.4). Management Prowess For the case of investigating the management feasibility of launching the e-wallet into the market, Van, Stevenson and Roberts (1992, p. 127) assert that DayMark has to candidly evaluate the management capability in the context of the passion for the e-wallet business idea. When an analysis was conducted on the position of the management’s thirst for the business idea, the research showed highly ranked score with a strong potential for the e-wallet business idea. In context of the e-wallet, the management showed interest in the idea and demonstrated the ability to optimize the benefits of investing in the idea. According to (Dixon 2006, p.441), the Management showed the core analytical competencies of investing in the idea, has the capacity to build trust, able to make commitments in implementing the idea, demonstrates support for innovation, and the ability to adopt new ideas and change with changing business environment. It was established in the study that employees and the management of the organization took ownership of the idea, by demonstrating teamwork. Each
Introduction The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is an amalgamation of seven different emirates in the Middle East region. It has its capital in Abu Dhabi and has an estimated population of slightly more than 4 million people. Close to 80 percent of the population is made up of non-UAE nationals. This paper examines the environmental problems of the UAE and how they can be alleviated. Arguably, the population of the UAE has been growing at the expense of the environment. Environmental Problems in the UAE All over the world, environmental problems remain a serious problem. However, the risks associated with environmental problems are higher in the developing world that is characterized by poverty and lack of important critical resources for dealing with the problems. Despite the steady increase in population, the people of the United Arab Emirates appear to have forgotten about the environment. As a result of paying so much attention to business growth, the people of the UAE are now faced with serious environmental problems. Generally, environmental problems result from changes in environmental factors that threaten the existence of human beings. Like many other countries around the world, the United Arab Emirates is faced with serious environmental problems that include lack of access to fresh water, desertification, and pollution as a result of oil spills. The various environmental issues of the UAE are discussed as follows. Fresh Water Problem in the UAE The increased population of UAE can be linked to the discovery of oil deposits in the region (Szabo, 2011). Although oil explorations have increased the nation’s wealth, it has also led to an increased demand for foreigners to provide labor for the fast-growing economy. Figure 1 shows how the UAE’s population and Growth Domestic Product (GDP) have grown over the years. The figure clearly shows that both the GDP and population have been growing at a very fast pace. Figure 1: Growth in the UAE As explained by Szabo (2011), however, population and economic growth led to an increased demand for water. Whereas space in the UAE is not a major concern; meeting the demand for fresh water is a serious problem. Even though water may be found in different places across the UAE, it is mostly unsuitable for human consumption unless it goes through a desalination process. The per capita ecological footprint of a UAE resident is estimated to be 10.7 hectares of land. As a consequence, the biggest problem faced by the UAE has nothing to do with the availability of land. The increase in population has, however, led to a scarcity of important natural resources. Freshwater is especially a critical natural resource,
In his book Living Buddha, Living Christ , Hanh (1995) explores the issues concerning religious tolerance and peace among people pertaining to different traditions. One of the most striking statements in his writing (which can be regarded as a thesis statement of the entire work) is as follows, “We have different… ways of seeing, but we share the common qualities of love, understanding and acceptance” (Hanh, 1995, p. 11). It is necessary to note that this statement does not include something brand-new, but it reveals the universal truth. The most striking about it is that it is revealed in simple terms and the reader cannot but accept it. I completely agree with the author as I also believe all religions and all major traditions are based on similar values. I think the metaphor used by the author is very suggestive as religions can be compared with flowers or any other objects in the universe as everything is constituted by a quite limited number of elements. Likewise, religions are based on similar ideas of the good and the bad, just and unjust. Irrespective of the name of the religion and specific rituals, all major religions teach people to be rightful, i.e. to share such basic values as love, understanding and compassion. There is one peculiarity of all religious groups: some people tend to stress that there can be only one rightful religion. As for me, this has little to do with religions as they are. It is about people’s desire to be different. Many people see that religions are largely similar, but they try to disregard that and still want to seem better than others. I believe equality is unaccepted when it comes to religions. It is not enough to show that all religions are constituted by the same elements, it is more important to make people long for equality. When people are ready to accept they are equal to people of other religions, human society will develop in the peaceful world. Reference List Hanh, T.N. (1995). Living Buddha, living Christ.

Introduction Frankenstein has been a very famous fiction novel in British society. Since its creation, it is still regarded as a very famous novel today. Frankenstein is about a monster that was created from corpses by a scientist named Victor. The monster creates havoc and ends up killing Victor’s brother William as well as his wife Elizabeth. Victor, in rage, seeks out the monster but who confesses his crime and begs for mercy and a mate to help fight his loneliness. Victor creates the mate but then destroys it fearing the consequences. Because of that, the monster kills Victor’s bride and nearly evades Victor. Victor later dies but the monster, regretting everything, flees to die also. Shelley’s Biography in Connection to Frankenstein Through this novel, Mary Shelley sought to teach her audience not to view others with evil because of appearance but to view others with intentions and to understand that not all people that look like villains are villains. Through emotions, the audience is able to understand both sides of the story, and would also make better judgments on other people. This makes up the central issues that will guide this paper. The creation of the monster traces Mary Shelley’s life and influence in science by her husband and father. Mary’s creation of the monster, in literary terms, is clear shown in her already known prowess that she has gained by writing other novels as well as literary articles. In the novel, Frankenstein grows up as child who has no obvious satisfying life. Mary depicts Victor as young man who, therefore, is not happy and, thus, all through his life, before the creation of the actual monster, in the science lab, has being searching for happiness. The name of the novel as Frankenstein conceals the major occurrence of the novel, hence, masking the intentions of the writer at first. As a result, the reader is not forewarned of the impending scary nature of the scenes and what is going to transpire and, therefore, Mary averts preconceived judgments against her work. It is only after reading the work that we, readers, get to knowing the harrowing details of scientist’s creation of monster that executes the people he loves. Mary’s childhood life was full of misery and poverty that restricted her search for emotional fulfillment. In her love life, she was not well lucky to maintain her husbands to her life to the end of age. As a result, Mary Shelley’s life woul
A visit to a center for Independent Living in Montgomery, AL was a valuable experience that contributed to my professional competence and my knowledge about the life of people with disabilities. I took a tour around the facilities, observed the rooms for residents’ gatherings, and spoke to several people who received support from the center. Before the event, I anticipated this experience to be challenging in terms of the emotional burden when communicating with people with disabilities who, as I had thought, were in desperate need of outside help. However, the conversations with the center residents showed that the primary challenge is that the disabled encounter more difficulties in society while they can take care of themselves. Indeed, the disability experience adversely influences a person’s life in all its manifestations. According to Falvo and Holland (2017), a disabled person’s family life and sexuality are endangered because he or she fails to act “normally” again becoming a burden for family members (p. 25). As the interviewed individuals admit, their special needs become a barrier for them to be employed, enjoy recreational activities, and be a part of a community. Moreover, cultural particularities of perception of disabled people impose even more emotional discomfort leading to depressions and detachment. For example, a man in a wheelchair is refused to be employed because of the difficulties the presence of such a person might cause for an organization. The center for independent living educates, provides competent support, and facilitates the inclusion of a person with a disability in the life of a community. A system of specially developed programs that address such issues as family life, work, or education difficulties is aimed at improving the quality of life of people with chronic illness or disability. For example, the center’s department provides Braille courses for blind people, thus increasing their chances for more qualitative life and more opportunities in both, professional and personal life spheres. Having a center’s support people can live independently and lead a comfortable family life. Such assistance enables people with special needs to live better lives, find a job, be involved in different activities, and perform as decent members of society. Reference Falvo, D., & Holland, B.E.

Introduction The story under analysis is The Magic Barrel by Bernard Malamud, one of the most famous American Jewish authors of modern literature whose stories “possess uncommon staying power” (Bluestone 403) as they are still actual. The story comes from the collection of 13 short novels.”‘The Magic Barrel’ is the title story of a collection that received the 1959 National Book Award” (“Bernard Malamud” p. 41). The story centers around the life of a young rabbinical student Leo Finkle. Having recognized the fact of his coming graduation and search for the place connected with it, he decides to find himself a good wife as he was told that it is much more easier for married man to do that. However, being not sure in his own forces he decides to call for help. A matchmaker Salzman comes for his call. He presents to the would be rabbi some pictures of his potential wives however Leo is not satisfied with them, deciding for himself that it was the bad idea to address a matchmaker. However, Salzman is very persistent and skilled in negotiations. After a chain of visits he made, Leo to go for a walk with one of Salzmans candidates. Walking with a girl, Finkle expresses the thought which becomes central in the whole story and which has symbolic meaning. Being irritated with the girls questions he confesses that he, being the would be rabbi does not love God. This confession makes the whole story and opens a wide religious topic to discuss. Main Point in the Story First of all from the first lines it becomes obvious that religion is main point in this story. It is difficult to suggest some other topic knowing the profession of the main character. From the firs lines of the story the reader recognizes Leo as an exemplary rabbi. He is going to graduate from the prestigious New York’s Yeshivah University and to make a good career. However, with further development of the action the reader can distinctively see that Leo is not as simple as he seems. It is possible to observe some hidden conflict within his person. The first sign is his negation of the traditional for the man of his destiny title rabbi in his first dialogue with Salzman. The author specially focuses the readers attention on this fact, repeating it several times throughout all dialogue. The title connected with Leos would be profession irritates him. From the first point of view this fact can be taken as the desire of the young man not to take a long shot and just follow the rules. However, repeated several times, it irritates him much more than just simple break of rules. It is more obvious that he still does not recognize this unconscious aversion to the chosen path. Duality of his inner world can be slightly seen in this dialogue. He does not want to become a rabbi and he does not want to get married. This fact can explain his refusal of several rather profitable fiancées. Moreover, Salzman plays th
Diesel in its initial stages was using a special way of advertising. The company used ironic, paradoxical, complex and sometimes humorous, artistic and colorful adverts in the “products make better living” and the “Diesel for Successful Living”. Diesel used them to express a concern among the members of the public and the consumers because they, on the quick look, undermined the established norms and institutions. However, the system coupled well with the wealthy teenagers who were looking for some different clothes to make them appear different. Examples include the adverts that mocked the core belief that jeans would help one to “seduce members of the opposite sex” and made one look good, and a videotronic on the shooting of a Diesel jeans wearer by a bad guy in nondescript pants and the bad guy’s utterance of the words “Diesel, for Successful Living”. In addition, the company used product placement among actors and celebrities, popular shows and independent movies. This identity seemed to have changed afterwards with the introduction of the product lines D-Diesel, Diesel Kids, 55DSL and especially StyleLab. The company’s introduction of a new line StyleLab focusing the market for casual wear in the 1990s, and its move to counterbalance increased diffusion of D-Diesel and prevent its commoditization was considered a move to prevent D-Diesel from eroding the exclusive and unconventional brand image. Concerns in Germany (that its success with older consumers was arguably influencing the shift of its identity and loss of its rebellious and edgy appeal), indicates its shift from the previous identity. The indicated brand in the images and advertising could not match usage of its products by the older generation. Further move from this identity is indicated by the style of advertising used by StyLab-exclusion and choice of channels, its rejection of the traditional “procterian” marketing and its new view of market research, focus on any age, and the creative team for StyleLab wanting to differentiate it with D-Diesel in terms of refinement and exclusivity. The company however can be termed to have retained its image through the D-Diesel line which represented the “old world”, leisure and pricey clothes and usage of POP materials based on simple themes usage of materials. The success of the StyleLab as a new line would be judged in terms of the revenues it created because this would determine the actual profitability of the investment. This success however would be dependent on the line’s success in terms of image and awareness. The more success it would achieve in awareness, the more it would achieve in image, and subsequently in profitability or the revenue. Revenue would be the final point of judgment but influenced by others. Sub-branding and endorsement would ensure that the new line built on the popularity of the company and the D-Diesel line as opposed to a completely independent branding strategy. The success of the D-Diesel would influence the performanc
The Fourth Amendment to the US Constitution was adopted in 1792. It guarantees people’s right to the inviolability of their identity, home, documents, and property in case of unjustified search or arrests. The right must not be violated, and no orders must be signed if there is not enough justification for the statement. It may be confirmed either by jury or the allegation with the detailed description of the crime scene of the people who committed it (FindLaw, 2019). However, not every search that is conducted by the police officers requires the application of the Fourth Amendment. It concerns only those searches that are initiated by the government or its directives. The Fourth Amendment makes police officers act reasonably and respectfully when they start search activities in a particular location. It is stated that police officers have no right to search people’s property, especially houses, without a warrant signed by a judge or neutral magistrate. However, there is one significant outcome of the Amendment that concerns the fact that it may be applied only to the seizures and search activities initiated by law enforcement institutions (FindLaw, 2019). In other words, the Fourth Amendment does not protect American citizens from the actions of private detectives or extremely curious neighbors. Hence, the Amendment may be applied on
