Two Degrees, Massive Benefits | For Different

Two Degrees, Massive Benefits


Jun 04

I had already earned my criminal justice degree online, and though I had a new career in a great field that I enjoyed very much, it still left a little something to be desired. It was at this time that I chose to supplement my degree with a computer forensics degree, as well. The biggest positive to this was that since I had already achieved my criminal justice degree online a year before, I could simply start working on my computer forensics degree and a lot of the ground I had covered there would be useful and help me achieve my degree more quickly than otherwise.

A computer forensics degree and a criminal justice degree online proved to be a five year commitment altogether, but the positive benefits it has had on both my career and self esteem can not be overstated. After all, the ability to combine my passion for technology and law required almost no thought, and the position I had already achieved at a very technologically advanced company could not hurt from a little extra nudge in the direction of higher education, though I already held a degree.

The computer forensics degree showed my employer that I had a solid understanding of how to operate the machines and gather evidence from computers that were either seemingly destroyed or that had been compromised in some way, and the achievement of my criminal justice degree online would show that I already had a deep understanding of how to handle evidence and work within a set level of procedure. Both of these combined set my career on an upward trajectory that has yet to slow down, and I have gained the respect of both colleagues and my industry by being both thorough and versatile in the areas that I choose to work within.

The best advice I can give, particularly in reference to a computer forensics degree, is to try not to become discouraged. After all, you are working toward a better career and a bigger paycheck in the end, and a computer forensics degree is a highly sought after credential that shows an intimate familiarity with technology that may need to be used both in an investigation and in the wider world of criminal justice. Thus far, my skills have been put to good use by several companies that have contracted the company that I work for, and has found wider use as an independent contractor.

Space and Cyber Law: Continued Discussion of Property Rights

Lest I start my career with an unresponded-to accusation of laziness, I would like to address some of the points made in Mr. Simberg's response to my last post.

Setting aside what I think is an unfair accusation of disingenuity, this is simply wrong. The legislation makes no ?promise? to not take military or other action. It simply refuses to promise to do so. As I note in the paper, how the U.S. government would respond to a transgression against a recognized property owner, or whether it would, is completely unspecified by the proposed legislation ? it would be a political decision taken at the time of the encroachment. For the government to recognize the right of an owner to lunar real estate is no more an ?appropriation? or declaration of sovereignty than is our recognition of Israel or Taiwan?s right to exist. Surely Mr. Dawson isn?t saying that our stance toward those two nations represents a declaration of sovereignty over them?

First, the promise not to take military action to which I was referring concerned the party with the rights the US would be "recognizing."? Meaning, through the legislation the US would be promising not to challenge the rights of the private company.? I was not addressing the part of the legislation stating that the US makes no pledge to defend the private company.? Second, I would say that the US' position on Israel and Taiwan's right to exist is a clear indication that the US recognizes those States' sovereignty over their respective territories.? In the same way, recognizing the property rights of a foreign company could be recognition of the sovereignty or appropriation of that land by the company's State.? Mr. Simberg also suggests that the legislation does not purport to grant rights:

Again, there is confusion here. The legislation does not provide a way for the the U.S. to ?grant? a property right ? it cannot do so without a sovereignty claim, which would be a treaty violation. It simply requires that such a right be recognized by the U.S. government.

?It is unclear to me how a right that has not been granted can be recognized.? Furthermore, Section 4(4) of the proposed legislation reads:

Recognized ownership of land under this law shall include all rights normally associated with land ownership, including but not limited to the exclusive right to subdivide the property and sell portions to others, to mine any minerals or utilize any resources on or under the land, as long as it is done in a responsible manner which does not cause unreasonable harm to the environment or other people

?It is equally unclear to me how the US is defining the rights it is not creating, but simply recognizing.? Mr. Simberg went on to discuss my concerns that if acting alone, the US would be put at a disadvantage:

First of all, the legislation does not propose that this be done unilaterally ? it explicitly calls for the State Department to negotiate with other nations to get agreements of reciprocity. And it would not at all ?require? the U.S. to ?recognize the appropriations of outer space by other nations.? In fact, it is just the opposite. The legislation is very clear about what the U.S. will recognize and under what conditions, and one of them is that it not be a national sovereign claim. I have to wonder if the critics of the proposed legislation have actually read it, or if they take the Eric Holder approach to legal analysis?

?Section 9 of the proposed legislation certainly urges other nations to take similar actions.? It even goes so far as to guarantee the protections of the law to countries that offer similar protections, through legislation or international agreement, to US citizens.? However, there is nothing that would require that the country offer such protections.? Therefore, the risk of the US ultimately proceeding unilaterally still exists.? And yes, Section 3 limits applicability of the legislation to those companies and individuals that are not controlled by any sovereign State.? This would not stop another State from arguing that the US' recognition of the rights of one of its private companies constituted recognition by the US of that State's sovereignty over the land in question.? Such recognition, it could be argued, would be a necessary first step to recognizing a land right if the US was not purporting to grant the right itself.? Given the sometimes vague nature of the outer space treaties, I believe it to be disadvantageous to provide this opportunity.

I would like to thank Mr. Simberg for taking the time to respond to my first post.? One of the most redeeming qualities to blogging, I find, is that it allows the opportunity for faster and fuller debate than does the slow exchange of published papers.

NEW YORK (AP) ? Richard Dawson, the wisecracking British entertainer who was among the schemers in the 1960s sitcom "Hogan's Heroes" and a decade later began kissing thousands of female contestants as host of the game show "Family Feud" has died. He was 79.

Dawson, also known to TV fans as the Cockney POW Cpl. Peter Newkirk on "Hogan's Heroes," died Saturday night from complications related to esophageal cancer at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles, his son Gary said.

The game show, which initially ran from 1976 to 1985, pitted families who tried to guess the most popular answers to poll questions such as "What do people give up when they go on a diet?

He made his hearty, soaring delivery of the phrase "Survey says..." a national catchphrase among viewers.

Dawson won a daytime Emmy Award in 1978 as best game show host. Tom Shales of The Washington Post called him "the fastest, brightest and most beguilingly caustic interlocutor since the late great Groucho bantered and parried on 'You Bet Your Life.'" The show was so popular it was released as both daytime and syndicated evening versions.

His swaggering, randy style (and British accent) set him apart from other TV quizmasters. He was known for kissing each woman contestant, and at the time the show bowed out in 1985, executive producer Howard Felsher estimated that Dawson had kissed "somewhere in the vicinity of 20,000."

"I kissed them for luck and love, that's all," Dawson said at the time.

One of them he kissed was Gretchen Johnson, a young contestant who appeared with members of her family in 1981. After a decade together, she and Dawson wed in 1991. They had a daughter, Shannon.

Dawson reprised his game show character in a much darker mood in the 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger film "The Running Man," playing the host of a deadly TV show set in a totalitarian future, where convicts try to escape as their executioners stalk them. "Saturday Night Live" mocked him in the 1970s, with Bill Murray portraying him as leering and nasty, even slapping one contestant (John Belushi) for getting too fresh.

The British-born actor already had gained fame as the fast-talking Newkirk in "Hogan's Heroes," the CBS comedy that starred Bob Crane and mined laughs from a Nazi POW camp whose prisoners hoodwink their captors and run the place themselves.

Despite its unlikely premise, the show made the ratings top 10 in its first season, 1965-66, and ran until 1971.

"We ran six years," Dawson once quipped, "a year longer than Hitler."

Both "Hogan's Heroes" and "Family Feud" have had a second life in recent years, the former on DVD reissues and the latter on GSN, formerly known as the Game Show Network.

On Dawson's last "Family Feud" in 1985, the studio audience honored him with a standing ovation, and he responded: "Please sit down. I have to do at least 30 minutes of fun and laughter and you make me want to cry."

"I've had the most incredible luck in my career," he told viewers, adding, "I never dreamed I would have a job in which so many people could touch me and I could touch them." That triggered an unexpected laugh.

Producers brought out "The New Family Feud," starring comedian Ray Combs, in 1988. Six years later, Dawson replaced Combs at the helm, but that lasted only one season. Steve Harvey is the current host.

Dawson was born Colin Lionel Emm in 1932 in Gosport, England. When he was 14 he joined the Merchant Marines, serving three years.

He first got into show business as a stand-up comedian, playing clubs in London's West End including the legendary Stork Room. It was there, in the late 1950s, he met blond bombshell Diana Dors, the film star who became known as Britain's answer to Marilyn Monroe. They married in 1959 and divorced in the late 1960s.

Dawson landed roles in U.S. comedy and variety shows in the early 1960s, including "The Steve Allen Show" and "The Dick Van Dyke Show." Then his performance as a military prisoner in the 1965 film "King Rat" led to his being cast in "Hogan's Heroes," which truly made him a star to American audiences.

After that, he was a regular on "Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In" and "The New Dick Van Dyke Show."

Meanwhile, he became a frequent celebrity contestant on game shows, including both daytime and prime-time versions of "The Match Game."

While still a panelist on "The Match Game," he began hosting "Family Feud," where his popularity grew to such levels that he was mentioned as a frontrunner to win the "Tonight Show" host chair to succeed Johnny Carson, who at the time was considering retirement. Though Carson stayed put, Dawson made appearances as a guest host.

Dawson is survived by his widow, Gretchen, their daughter Shannon, two sons, Mark and Gary, from his first marriage, and four grandchildren.

Imagine A Safe Workplace | Tips and Trick about Networking Business

Imagine A Safe Workplace

Workplace Violence is on the increase and I believe that in the subsequent decade it will explode exponentially unless we have a tendency to are proactive!

The foremost difficult kind of workplace violence to forestall comes from individuals not affiliated with the company who have some grievance or grudge against the company itself or somebody working for the organization. Unless an exponent, neighbour or family member notices telltale warning signs and reports them it?s almost not possible to forestall random violence of this type.

The easiest varieties of violent acts to stop are those from individuals operating for the company. I say easiest only if you raise your awareness level, seek for, recognize and report the warning signs that are ALWAYS present before a violent workplace incident.

This text will specialise in preventing violence from individuals operating for the company.

At my seminars someone always asks: ?What?s the single most important issue that one will do to boost their personal safety?? And the solution is: Get your head out of the sand! The explanation why a massive percentage of violent acts in the workplace return as a surprise is because folks just don?t want to believe what they?re seeing or hearing well before the incident occurs.

If everyone within the workplace felt comfortable confiding in and reporting incidents to their supervisors most incidents could be prevented. Therein lies one among the keys to the prevention of violence in the workplace. The company should have an open door policy with regard to the reporting of harassing, criminal and probably violent behaviour. Workers must feel that they will be listened to and more importantly that their considerations will be acted on.

The best predictor of future violence is past violence. If you have got info that somebody you work with, or are thinking of changing into concerned with, includes a violent past, the best thing that you can do is to avoid them, be aware and alert, and, do not invite or have interaction in communications that you recognize you aren?t ready to handle. Most of all, hear your instincts and be looking out for alternative warning signs

The subsequent layer of protection in your arsenal of violence prevention skills is to be able to acknowledge the telltale signs of impending trouble. Those signs are referred to as pre-incident indicators or threat cues.

How many times on the 11 o?clock news have we heard people say ?He was such a pleasant guy. Nobody saw this coming. He just snapped.? I am here to tell you that nobody saw it coming because of a combination of two things: lack of information and denial that what they were observing was truly happening. Most individuals who commit violent acts provide quite a few warning signs well before acting.

As Gavin Debecker states: ?People do not just snap. There?s a method as observable, and often as predictable as water coming back to a boil.? Each type of violence whether it is workplace violence, domestic assault or date stalking follows a predicable pattern.?

The great issue concerning incidents precipitated by people inside the workplace, if there is such a thing as ?nice?, is that it offers many opportunities for individuals to pick up on the signals that offenders provide us. Employees in this example should be happy to approach co-staff and their management with their issues, and management wants to address those concerns.

I think we have a tendency to will all agree that prevention is very important however being PREPARED is that the key!

If you must notice yourself during a situation that produces you?re feeling uncomfortable your goal is to induce out of or off from the situation safely. There are a variety of things that you can do to help this happen and they?re:

? Listen to the current uncomfortable feeling. Don?t ignore it!! It is there for a reason. It is one in all your innate survival mechanisms and it?s trying to inform you one thing

? Once you?ve got acknowledged these feelings start wanting around for escape routes simply in case matters becomes unsafe

If you find yourself during a scenario that?s uncomfortable however not unsafe and you?re feeling that you?ll handle it by yourself then by all suggests that go ahead. It will be very empowering knowing that you?ll and have controlled it yourself.

OK, OK, what?s the underside line? What can you do to make sure that you are safe at work?

Ask for appropriate workplace violence prevention and preparation coaching! When I say appropriate I mean training that features ALL the abilities that you need to protect yourself! Verbal and physical skills. After I say Preparation Training I mean just that, realistic and relevant training that PREPARES you for a workplace violence incident as a result of you can?t forestall all incidents of workplace violence.

I cannot emphasize this enough! If you can?t get this happening at your workplace then take a personal safety course. Most folks agree that they would really like to be and feel safer but most individuals will not take the mandatory steps to make this happen.

The simplest way for you to successfully resolve a potentially violent state of affairs is to organize yourself by taking appropriate coaching from a coach who has been in these situations and is aware of what works. Anything less and you?re simply fooling yourself!

If you?re a manager and one in every of your employees has approached you with a concern, take it seriously, investigate it, document what you?ve got found and deal with it. You?re ethically responsible for resolving this. You are also bound by a range of powerful legislations that compel you to take the suitable action.

If your corporations? workplace violence prevention program consists solely of policies, reporting procedures, signs in the workplace telling employees that violence is unacceptable and will not be tolerated and a ban on weapons your company is only paying lip service to the prevention of and preparation for workplace violence.

I will leave you with this thought:

With reference to non-public safety each out and in of the workplace, there are 2 sorts of folks in the world:

Those who mistakenly believe that ALL conflicts, confrontations and attacks can be defused by the use of properly applied communication skills and verbal de-escalation tactics.
