Essays on Gateway

Studies have proved the stepping-stone theory, i.e. from simple addiction to “hard core” addiction, which is similar to gateway theory. Some users used canabis or marijuana as a “gateway” or substitute for alcohol, and those who used medical canabis were former canabis users. Charlton (as cited in Reiman, 2009) indicated that substitution with substances was used by some users to address the problem of alcohol addiction, but further using harder drugs for self-medication. Alcohol and tobacco have been regarded “soft” drugs and are used as “gateway” to “harder” ones. The stepping stone suggests that it is a progression (from ...

Many historical recordings document the lives of people who have lived the life that our greatest example, Jesus Christ, spoke that a Christian should live. Many of these people have been leaders.

The Apostle Paul is a great example of a Christian who happened to be a leader, although he never held a particular office in the Christian Church building as ...

Introduction

Over the past couple of decades, poverty prevention advocates have become aware that it takes more than just emergency services to alleviate poverty. While such sources of aid as rent assistance, food stamps, food bank provisions, utility assistance and the like can help a family subsist from one month to the next, they do not help families escape the poverty cycle and move up to a better standard of living. As Hutson (2004) noted, “social service providers have increasingly recognized that families seeking assistance often face multiple, complex needs and that they require the services of more than one ...

Abstract

In this paper, the author identifies at least three security-related threats and various recommendations how they can be addressed. So far, there were three man security threats that were identified. The first one was the outdated-ness of GFI’s front end system. The recommendation for this was for GFI to invest more in the creation of a team that would develop a dynamic, high quality, and more secure front end system, one that is suited to today’s speed and design standards. The second risk was the presumed use of a common cryptographic passphrase for all of its departments. ...

The construct of free will was studied and it was determined that the theory of undefined free will has conventionally been rejected and/or neglected in the theory of counseling and in the field of psychology; however, in the moral arena, the freedom of self-determinism and freedom of indeterminate free will are mutually exclusive concepts. From another perspective, indeterminate free will can also be perceived to be unidirectional, acting in the direction of self-violating, negative behavior, leading to immoral behavior (Wilks & Ratheal, 2011). Whenever an individual becomes self-absorbed, there is not consideration for anyone else even if that self-absorbed individual ...

Routing Information Protocol version 2 (RIP v2) is a distance-vector routing algorithm that makes use of the hop count as metric for routing (Archana, 2015). The hop count is simply a path between a source and destination, which simply could be the number of intermediate routers, bridges or gateways between the source and the destination. A maximum of 15 hops is allowed in RIP v2, placing a limitation on the size of networks that can be supported by the protocol. The Bellman-Ford algorithm determines the shortest path to a destination using the principle of relaxation where the correct distance ...

Both Bridges and Switches work on the data link layer of the OSI Model. However, switches are more advanced. Discuss how a switch has an advantage over a bridge in a network then elaborate more on the technology implemented in switches to control broadcast domains A bridge is a two interfaces device that creates two collision domains. This is because it forwards the traffic received from one interface only to the interface where layer two devices is connected (Olenewa, 2014). Bridges serves the main function of reading the destination of MAC address to forward the traffic only to the interface where it ...

This is an acronym for General Packet Radio Service which can be approach as a second generation of wireless networks.
