First, I would like to apologize for being late. It was entirely my fault, I had confused the 2:30 NSA presentation as being the one I was supposed to write the report on, and I am truly sorry for causing you and/or Columbus State as a whole any embarrassment in front of the FBI. When I arrived, David had just begun about bitcoins and then later moved on into the deep web with a focus on a website called The Silk Road. From this, I am assuming that what I had missed in the beginning was related to these two things, meaning that the presentation as a whole focused on internet activity. To start off with bitcoins, this was the more interesting talk to me and I feel very lucky to have caught it in time. While I did not learn as much as I did the later part of the …show more content…
David’s explanation helped to clear all this up for me, and while I acknowledge there is much more to learn, I feel like he has given me a stepping stone to go and understand the rest on my own. What I gathered from him was that the bitcoins are mined through dedicated systems working to solve complex math problems. From my past experience I know that these problems are generated by collecting all pending bitcoin transactions and transforming them into a massive puzzle. What I did not know was that these puzzles were generated every ten minutes, with the reward for solving each puzzle being twenty five bitcoins. I found this time based system to be interesting as I would have expected it to be a transaction based system. For example, every one hundred transactions, or however many is necessary to maintain balance, would be transformed into puzzle, instead of it just being however many are collected in ten minutes. I also did not realize just how competitive bitcoin mining had become. Between the student’s comment on his experience attempting to mine a bitcoin and David’s
Briefly summarize the content of the lecture and the highlights of the Q&A session (if any)
The VMM service crashes and generates an access violation error in System. Xml when it response to an Integration Services event.
2a. Habituation is when the response to a certain stimuli decrease when it becomes frequent. For example, when I first moved into my apartment I would always hear the train at nighttime and it would keep me up or wake me up when it would start passing by. After a month or so, my body stopped responding to the train blowing its horn when it would pass. It is an appropriate example because after I became habituated to the sound, I started getting more sleep and more sleep meant a restful night to recharge for the next day.
In the first portion of this assignment I read about what makes an internet site believable and factual. Many of the sites that I had looked at didn’t have solid documentation to click on. The links to the sources were almost all non existent. The two sites about aides had me thinking about who got the information and for what reason did they put it onto their site. A very skeptical fact I saw on the first site was saying that “Approximately one in four people living with HIV infection in the United States are women.” My question is, where did that statistic come from? I looked at other sites and didn’t see that HIV was specific to only women, but instead it was many people that live in the world don’t even know they have the disease. After doing more research on the page I saw information of stating why they were doing the study, and they are doing it as a charity for health departments that couldn’t make money.
I was standing for 20 minutes “doing nothing” at Jay Gee’s , on a hot weather around 6:00pm on September 9, 2015. This is an ice cream place where families and kids go during the summer to play golfing, go cars, batting cages and an arcade. Families also go to eat ice cream and spend a good time with kids and family. As I was standing in front of kids and adults while they were trying to order ice cream or play, I saw people looking at me with an strange looks, like if I had four head, some people ignore me while others ask me if I was okay or ask me what I was doing and if I needed any help. Others where talking among others criticizing me by saying that I was crazy. Others pull their child away from me like if I was going to something
“’If you will come back here and let me love and let you, I will fix the clock.’ This he repeated and reached for me with his hand, he extended his hand reward me, he did not put it on me; I jumped back. I was in his reach as I stood there. He reached for me right along here (indicating her left shoulder and arm).”
The data have information from two courses taught during the 2014/15 academic years with a combined enrollment of 76 students. These courses have a similar structure in that they met on Monday, Wednesday and Friday for 10 weeks and they both require students to complete online quizzes prior to each class. In addition, the final grade of both courses is composed of operating grades, midterms, and final exams. That is, there will be more than one factor to affect the final grade in these courses. In order to protect students, all students are shown in the database as ID number instead of their real names.
I staffed the situation with Nikki and was referred to Minimum Standards, which states the following:
When I first started working on my concentration, I planned on exploring the relationship between people and technology. As the exam date was steadily approaching, I only had a couple of pieces completed, so time was of the essence. However, I was notified by my teacher that I wasn’t allowed to use two of the pieces I created because the school district deemed them ‘not appropriate for a high school level portfolio’ and she could get into trouble, or even fired, if I included them in my portfolio. As a student, I was conflicted because I loved the art that I created, but I also love my teacher and I would never want her to get into trouble because my actions. So, I decided to change my concentration with a week left before the exam date. Each
It was just a typical night on April 20th, 2015, that I was on my computer talking with my friend through Skype who gave me the idea to make an account on Skout because I was stil trying to get over the break up with Chris. And that's how it all started.... I was just scrolling down then I noticed a certain picture of someone that caught my attention. And it was YOU. I knew from the moment I saw your picture on Skout I know you were gonna be someone special in my life. I didn't know wether or not to message you first or wait and see if you were to ever message me first. But my friend told me to take the courage to send you a simple message to see if you would even message.The next day to my suprise to see that you had actually replied. You
When I first learned that the second unit would be about writing in different genres I was totally confused. What did this mean? Would I be doing different writings of mystery, romance or science fiction? That was my only small narrow view of what a genre is. I have now come to learn that a genre is not only simply whether something is fiction or nonfiction but a genre is different types of writing from a recipe to a resume. I have come to learn that there are so many different types of genres all unique in their own respect and all written from a different perspective.
I have chosen project three in which I had to review several books that had a character with an exceptionality as the main character. I asked the professor if I could have the high schoolers in my English language arts class do this as part of my lesson plans and she agreed. I have formatted it in such a way that each book will have some differentiation if several students reviewed the same book. Student 1 will be a 10th grade boy with a visual impairment, Student 2 will be a 11th grade girl with a visual impairment, Student 3 will be a 9th grade girl with a visual impairment and behavior disorder, lastly, Student 4 will be 10th grade girl with a visual impairment as well as a learning disability she uses voice to text on her iPad to respond
I am currently under academic warning, recognized as a bachelor’s student rather than an honour. Including the 30 transfer credits received from Trent University, I have 84 credits completed + 3 credits partially completed from ADMS 3330 of which is currently in process this summer term 2015. If my failing grade for ADMS 2510 is not dropped the 90 credits will be completed with a GPA below 5.0. I do not want to graduate as a bachelor’s student rather my dream and goal is to graduate as honours completing 120 credits. It will not be difficult for me to achieve this goal next year, since the parental disorders I was fluctuating with has been resolved, in other words I am now living with one parent happily. With a relaxed mind I have made goals
The story of the assignment that impacted me the most begins in a class I initially despised. There was a collective grump and groan when the networking and cyber security majors were informed that we must all take an introductory business course. We all simply could not understand how any business concepts could aid in our ability to program an effective network with corresponding security. With a rather narrow mind, I entered the class that I was told by others was the my boring and dull experience of their academic life. Still, I read the chapters and regurgitated basic concepts into short essay answers as requested by my instructor. However, after a short time came an assignment about learning to plan a business process and improve it.
Continuing with the positives aspect of Kaney’s presentation, he certainly knew his material very well and was able to translate a lot of banking jargon into concepts that most people in the room would be able to understand. He coupled these translations with an extensive, though non-distracting, use of gestures. Overall, Kaney had a rather good presentation, though it certainly had its
