True Grit

The article is about how biologists were working with NCWRC to take care and research on the RCWs.Putting colored bands on the nestlings then coming back in 30 days to see if those nestlings have become fledged.In the website it states “Once the bands are secure but not constricting,the climb back up the ladder happens again,and the nestlings are placed back in the cavity.” Another part states “Once the nestlings hit day 30,fledge checks are carried out for each cluster.”Lauren D.Pharr is perspective for the article in the website because she’s telling people her experience she had being a biologist working with people to observe RCWs.As the article moves on Lauren D.Pharr gives us pictures of RCWs in their habitat and what she had to do to research them.

BrigHamStephen

The article is about how the writer is trying to find a RCW and how they headed 80,000 acres to find them.Then heading 75 miles north near Punta Gorda.The article states “The birds declared endangered in the 1970’s and currently number only 14,000 survivors.Another piece of the states Their numbers are down 99% from 1880’s due to habitat loss in eastern U.S.”The article was written by someone under the name of BrigHamStephen they basically are writing the article in their perspective as well as providing information on how the RCWs population has gone down tremendously throughout the years.When you read through the article they provide pictures to give you an example of what their talking about.

Higher education as a gendered institution. Sociology

We’ve introduced the idea that education is a gendered institution governed by norms and policies and that the salience of gender often ebbs and flows across different contexts, activities, and spaces.

Consider the particular organization in which you are now embedded: college.

Brainstorm the ways in which your college or university—both the formal process of education and residence life and the social life both on and off campus—is governed by gendered norms and policies.

  • How is your college experience gendered, if at all?
  • Brainstorm both norms and policies.
  • Where is gender more salient? Less? How so? And why do you think that is?
  • How does this shape your experiences?

Information Technology Question

  1. In today’s world of constant change in technology, we must ensure that we are always up to date with the latest operating systems. Research and determine the best solution for a medium-sized business with 500 employees. This is a new company, and you need to determine if Windows, Linux, or another type of operating system would best benefit this network. These users require constant sharing of resources and authentication throughout the network on a regular basis. Your paper needs to address the following:
  • Benefits of the operating system
  • How this operating system compares to other operating systems
  • Security concerns with this operating system
  • Flexibility and scalability with this operating system
  • Cost and maintenance of this operating system

 

  1. Virtualization has become quite beneficial for not only organizations but network administrators as well who rely on this technology on a constant basis. For this week’s assignment, you will research why virtualization is so important and how it has been so beneficial to network administrators over the past few decades. Be sure to research server virtualization for large networks. Also, try to find current literature that supports your justification on why virtualization is so important and useful today. Submit your findings in a 2–3-page APA-formatted paper.
  2. The fundamentals of network communication today have not completely changed over the past 50 to 60 years. In fact, many of the same theories and concepts are still the same. Research and list 4 of the common network topologies that have been used in businesses over the past few decades. You will indicate which of these typologies are still in use today, and why they are still in use today. You will also indicate what types of resources and devices are commonly used within these topologies. For instance, in a star topology, is a router or a switch required? Additionally, list how a current operating system needs to be properly configured in order to support all of these devices across the topology. Submit your work in a 2–3-page APA-formatted paper.
