    Something you know refers to the use of passwords, passphrases, and codes or PINs. When creating a password, the user must make the decision to create a string of alphanumeric and special characters with differing cases. The longer and more complicated a password the user creates drastically reduces the risk of cracking or brute force attacks. The same password must also be something easily remembered by the user to dissuade it from being written down and stored onsite or left at the workstation. A solution to this is creating a passphrase, a common phrase or date abbreviated and linked together with special characters to create a personal passphrase difficult to crack but easy to remember. An example of this would be a favorite television show with the day and time it airs. A common rule is to create a string at least eight character longs with at least one number and one special character, which this example adheres.…

    Gas prices fluctuate due to oil prices and the anticipated supply and demand worldwide. Whenever there is political unrest in a major oil producing country you will see an increase in gas prices due to the demand of oil potentially produced decreasing. Very rarely do gas prices follow the general supply and demand because if they did gas prices would be lower currently. In my hometown of Augusta, GA gas prices are always below the national average and with us bordering South Carolina many Augustans travel the short distance to pay lower prices in South Carolina which are usually $0.10-$0.15 cheaper. Much as the rest of the world goes whenever there is a threat to the supply of oil, regardless of having a surplus currently, the gas prices in this area see a $0.10-$0.20 increase sometimes within a 30 minute period.…

As the woman ignored the man’s ranting, the man then approached the woman in a threatening manner. Before the man reached the woman, Mr. McPhillen invited the man to join him at his table.

    I think that the court would deem that the investments made by the 1,600 people were securities. On page 647 of our text it states that under the Howey test, “a security exists if an investor invests money in a common enterprise and expects to make a profit form the significant efforts of others.” Given the information we have in the question, I believe that the promissory notes would fall under this test and would definitely be classified as securities.…

    To communicate the information effectively from the Vice President of Communications to the team, an appropriate channel would be a face-to-face conversation. The client is new to the company and in a meeting the team will be able to discuss the parameters, deadlines, and the client. The meeting ensures the team is aware of the client’s criteria. “Face to face conversation scores the highest in channel richness because it transmits the most information” (Robbins & Judge, 2011). The appropriate channel to communicate back to the vice president can be an electronic email. The e-mail can use bullet points to sum up the team meeting, direction and goals. The vice president will be able to send check in emails at different points during the follow-up on the strategy. “E-mail messages can be quickly written, edited and stored” (Robbins & Judge, 2011). Due to a one week timeline, time spent arranging a face to face meeting would take precious time out of the short deadline.…
