How to Use Internet Discussion
Reply:What security tips that you learned in this course will be the most useful for your future computer related activities? Why are these tips useful for you?I learned a lot in the past 8 weeks taking this course! I am super happy I took it and glad to learn a lot more about the safety of my computer and using social media. When I was younger I was very careless when it came to computer and didn’t pay a lot of attention to things like viruses and spam because I didn’t realize the harm they could do. I was also a lot more careless when it came to my social media sites as well, accepting anyone and putting my information out there. This class taught me a whole lot more on the dangers of putting a lot of information on the internet and not taking precautions when it came to my security and privacy. I think that’s one of the biggest tips I learned, was to always be paying attention and to make sure to check my security and privacy settings to make sure I am protecting myself from any potential harm. Back when I had Myspace you would find probably all my personal information on display because I didn’t realize how dangerous that could be. Now that I am older and wiser I make sure to try and keep all my social media sites private and display as little information as possible. I have spent many days going over many of my social media sites, looking over the different privacy and security settings and getting them where I wanna be. I also learned the importance of taking better care of my computer and making sure my software is up to date and that it is protected. In the past I would have never really cared much and been downloading tons of things and never updating anything. I think everything I learned in this class was very important and useful information that I can take with me always and I also think it is something everyone should be aware of. Learning about viruses and how they can affect your computer or anyone else’s is a big deal and I think everyone, especially those that work places where they have a lot of others information should be fully trained on how to handle a situation where their computer was attacked. Cyber attacks are becoming more and more popular, and I think it’s because so may people are so relaxed when it comes to the internet social media and they aren’t aware just how easily it could happen to them. I think many of us live with the mentality that “oh it won’t happen to me” and that’s not good. If more people took classes like this and learned more about the dangers out there and how they could protect themselves more we would be in better shape.
Project Legal Ethical Scenarios South University-Savannah Project: Legal & Ethical Scenarios
Legal and Ethical ScenariosSelect two of the scenarios provided below. Analyze the facts in the scenarios and develop appropriate arguments/resolutions and recommendations. Support your responses with appropriate cases, laws and other relevant examples by using at least one scholarly source from the SUO Library in addition to your textbook for each scenario. Do not copy the scenarios into the paper. Cite your sources in APA format on a separate page. Submit the paper to the Submissions Area by the due date assigned.Scenario I: Courts and Alternative Dispute ResolutionAlana Mendes suffered from Alzheimer?s, and was admitted to the Bay Pines Rehabilitation Center. Because of her mental condition, Alana?s daughter, Juanita, completed the admissions paperwork and signed the admissions agreement. The admissions documents included a clause that required parties to submit any disputes for arbitration. When Alana was released from the center four months later, she sued for negligent treatment and malpractice during her stay. Bay Pines moved to require arbitration.Scenario II: Due Process and ADRIn 2016, a report found extremely high rates of obvious plagiarism in the theses of graduate students in the MBA program in the College of Business at Western State University. Two full-time faculty members and three adjuncts were identified for ignoring their ethical responsibilities and contributing to negligence toward issues of academic misconduct. Assistant Professor Mark Day was one of the five professors identified in the report. The findings were published during a press conference in May 2016. The dean of the College of Business, Derrick Dawson, removed Day’s responsibilities for advising graduate students and scheduled him for undergraduate courses for the next semester. Day filed suit in a federal district court against Dawson, the university, and others for violating his due process rights by publicizing accusations about his role in plagiarism without providing him with a meaningful opportunity to clear his name in public.Scenario III: Regulatory Agencies and EthicsJessica Smith is the vice president of new drug development at Generic Phama, Inc, a pharmaceutical research company in Boston, Massachusetts. One year ago, she filed an application with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to obtain approval of a new drug for treating cancer. Smith met Joe Spencer at a convention three months ago and invited him to her room at the hotel. The two parted ways. Spencer worked as the director for approval of new drugs at the FDA. Two weeks later, Spencer wrote Smith a letter on FDA letterhead stating, ?It was nice to see your name cross my desk on our company?s application for approval of the new cancer drug. I?d really like to see you again. Why don?t you come visit me in Washington this weekend??Smith considered requesting that the petition be referred to another director at the FDA. However, she is concerned that the transfer would delay the approval process for at least a year. Smith?s chief scientist advised her that a key competitor plans to introduce a similar drug on the market in three months.
Government discussion board and replying to one student
THE DISCUSSION BOARD IS THE PICTURE .THE INFORMATION BELOW IS HOW IT SHOULD BE DONE . To get started with the discussion forums, first, click on the word “thread” to begin a new post. After your post, reply to one of your classmates by clicking on their discussion link and hitting the reply button.Discussion Board Participation- ?Meet and Greet? and ?Thought Sessions? (1 @ 40 Points and 2 @ 20 points each = 80 points) Read Carefully!You are required to participate in three online discussion board forums. The first ?Meet and Greet? session, where you introduce yourself to the class, is worth 40 points. The other two are ?thought sessions? that will be centered on a particular theme and are worth up to 20 points each (40 total points), depending on quality and length of the required posts. Participation in the thought sessions includes an initial posting by students specifically answering the question posed and at least one secondary post making a critical response to at least one other student?s post. The response to another student can indicate agreement or disagreement or other comment but must be substantive in explaining the reasons for the comments. The initial post and secondary response post will be weighted equally (up to 10 points each, for a total of 20 points) when grades are assigned. Therefore, to receive full credit for participation on each Thought Session, you must make two posts at a minimum, each post worth up to 10 points. The first post (your initial post) must respond to the original question, while the second post must respond to at least one of your classmate?s postings on the topic by the due date.Consider each post as a ?micro? essay of several (two or more) thoughtful paragraphs including at least 5 or 6 sentences each. This is the bare minimum for any credit, however, and it does not guarantee full credit or even a passing grade. You may earn only minimal credit even if you meet this minimum quantity requirement, because quality is more important than quantity. However, any post consisting of less than 5 or 6 sentences in a single post will receive no credit at all. This applies to any reply posts as well as your initial post. Please check the Discussion guidelines and directions under Course Information tab. There you will find additional information, instructions, the grading rubric that will be used to score your posts, and examples of model posts from prior course participants who received full credit. Save your work before posting on discussion board. If for technical reasons your posts are lost, you can simply copy and paste your saved work to the discussion board again.Warning: For other students to have time to respond to your post, your initial must be made 48 hours before the due date. Because ?thought Sessions? require an initial post and a response post by the due date, late discussion board postings cannot be accepted and will not be graded.
GCU Issue of Abortion Discussion
********please respond to the discussion question below add citations and references ;)******I have a strong belief that every person is naturally good-hearted and willing to love and care for others. It is upbringing that may alter this thinking. Every single person has a value and can contribute to society. This can be made difficult based on how a person is raised, and the circumstances in which they must live their life. Choices must be made every day. As children, we cannot help the environment in which we are raised. While a person may be naturally good-hearted and loving, if they are brought up in a harsh or cruel environment, they may begin to have a more negative outlook on life and others around them.According to Kirsten (2018), the main issue that comes about with abortions is the question of whether or not the fetus should be considered a person, and at which point do we consider the fetus a person. I do not feel that it is my place to tell another person that they should not have an abortion. Every situation is different. I cannot imagine the horrors that a woman must face if they are raped and then forced to have a child that they cannot care for. I do not believe that it should be a regular form of birth control, however. I have known persons in my experience that regularly get abortions instead of taking birth control. I do not feel that this is right either, however, who am I to judge. As a nurse, it is my duty to care for patients in a compassionate way, and I will do that, no matter my beliefs on their decisions as far as treatment. I can, however, educate the patient about birth control, which may be more cost-effective and less damaging to the body.Designer babies are another subject in which I feel that it is not my place to judge. Is it something that I would do? Probably not. However, can you imagine being able to eliminate the potential for disability or genetic disease for your child? Everyone wants what is best for their children, so it is no surprise that people would want to choose what they believe to be the best life for their children.Meilaender (2013) points out that we should always consider bioethics in our patient care and ?to ignore it is to ignore the just claims of others upon our attention and our care? (p. 2). While I do not choose to share my own beliefs with my patients, it is something to always take into consideration for sure. These issues are controversial, yes. However, my job as a nurse is not to pass judgement on these issues. I must provide compassionate care. I must make sure that my patients are receiving the best care possible, and to make sure that their needs are being met.References:Kirsten, J. (2018).

tactical crime analysis matrix and data analysis
ÿ
You will create a Tactical Plan for reducing crime in a specific jurisdiction in the greater metro area of Madison, WI.
Multiple police departments on the outskirts of Madison, Wisconsin have noticed an increase in theft in the areas near their police stations. The Police chiefs for Madison, Shorewood Hills, and Maple Bluff would like you to conduct an analysis to see if this trend is also occurring in the vicinity of Lake Mendota and to create a plan to reduce crime near the police stations.
Locate the address of the main police station for the Madison, Shorewood Hills, and Maple Bluff police departments. For each of the three police stations, do the following:
Access the LexisNexis Community Crime Map. http://communitycrimemap.com/ÿ
Put the address of the police station into the ?address bar? under Search Address.
Check ?Buffer? on; check ?0.5 miles? under Buffer. Check ?Only display events within the buffer.?
Under the ?Event? tab, select ?Theft? only. If the type of Theft is not specified, infer the type of theft by following the steps below for more information:
ÿGo to Google Maps and put in the address of the crime, for ?x? put in ?0.?
When the address appears, click on ?Satellite map.?
Zoom in on the building to determine what type of building it is and what type of neighborhood it is.
This process will give you a clue as to the type of theft that occurred.
For ?Dates Range,? search the previous 6 months from today?s date.
Access the Tactical Crime Analysis Matrix. You will need to record in the matrix, up to 10 incidents for each police station; be sure to choose those incidents closet to the police station.
Use the results as the data for your Tactical Plan.
Complete the Tactical Crime Analysis Matrix using the data from the three police departments.
Complete the written prompt at the bottom of the Matrix document.

(1a) Explain 3 similarities shared by all 4 giant planets.(2 pts.) (1b) Explain 3 ways in which Uranus and Neptune differ from Jupiter and Saturn. (2) Jupiter’s Great Red Spot The GRS rotates completely in six days.(3 pts.) (2a) If the spot is circular (not quite true, but a reasonable approximation for this matter) and 16,300 km in diameter, what are the wind speeds at the outer edges of the storm? Give you answer in km/hr. (Hints: Speed = distanceötime. How far does does a cloud on the edge of the spot move in one rotation? )(1 pt.) (2b) How do these speeds compare with winds in terrestrial hurricanes where wind speeds can be 120 mph = 200 km/hr?(3) Convince me! (4 pts.) We know that Saturn has a density less than that of water – so the planet would float in a giant bath tub. If you tell your friends that a planet could float, they are likely to laugh at you. Describe HOW we know the density of Saturn is less than that of water by observing it from here on Earth – what quantities have been measured (units?)? Which formula (or formulae) is (are) used?(4) Layers upon layers. (3 pts.) Jupiter have several distinct layers of clouds. Why are these clouds separated into several distinct layers, so that clouds composed of a highly volatile gas such as ammonia found higher in the atmosphere than water? (5) Colors. (3 pts.) (5a) What gives Jupiter and Saturn their yellow/red colors?(1 pts.) (5b) Describe the physical process(es) that make Uranus and Neptune look bluish.(6) Receiving Signals from Jupiter.(3 pts.) The distance from the Earth to Jupiter varies as the two planets orbit the Sun. Suppose we measure the distance to Jupiter and find that it is at a distance of 4.6 AU from the Earth,. How much time will it take for radio signals from a probe orbiting Jupiter to travel through space to reach us? Give your answer in minutes.(7) Changes. (2 pts.) Why does Uranus’ atmosphere show strong variations over the course of its orbit, Neptune and Saturn have moderate changes while Jupiter’s atmosphere appears pretty much the same, year in and year out? Please discuss each of these four planets by name in your response.(8) The Solar System(6 pts.) (8 a) In another solar system, we discover two terrestrial planets both with atmospheres made of 99% carbon dioxide. However, one planet has ten times more atmosphere than the other. Propose three hypotheses to explain why they would differ so much in their quantities of atmosphere.(4 pts.) (8 b) Our solar system contains 4 terrestrial planets and 4 jovian planets. Suppose we discover another solar system with 8 terrestrial planets and no jovian planets. Propose a hypothesis to explain why the formation of that solar system would have turned out so differently from our own.(4 pts.) (8 c) Why would astronomers be surprised to discover an active volcano on an asteroid?
AU Moral Decision Making Short Discussion
Discussion1:Moral Decision-MakingThere are many different moral theories, each of which provides a different way of analyzing the moral dilemmas we face in our lives. These moral theories provide a systematic framework for making reasoned moral decisions.This week, you will write about a time in which you had to make a difficult moral decision. Discussion 2: Is the U.S. Population Unhealthy?Health-related behavior represents a prime target for improving the nation?s health. Today?s leading cases of disease and death are preventable chronic diseases (heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and asthma), and behavioral risk factors play a critical role in their development and management. Obesity is common, serious and costly problem in the U.S. Obesity affected about 93.3 million of US adults in 2015~2016. Fast food consumption has been linked to higher caloric intake and greater risk for obesity. As an increasing number of consumers are dining at fast food restaurants, policy makers are turning their attention to environmental and policy approaches that influence consumer choice, including mandated calorie menu labels in fast food restaurants. The 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act included a provision requiring restaurants with more than 20 locations nationwide to post calorie information at the point of purchase.Watch the following video: Supersize meExplore the effectiveness of healthy living education.Include each of the following aspects in the discussion:Discussion 3:Surgical Package and Global PeriodImagine you are interning at a busy general surgeon?s office.
