Reasons for variation in performance rating

In a case where two employees perform the same job, and all of him or her have exemplary ratings, the evaluation team could decide to give one employee a smaller percentage merit because his pay falls within a lower quartile and give another employee a larger merit percentage because his pay falls within a higher quartile. The first quartile consists of individuals who meet minimum qualifications and have no sufficient experience (Kahn & Lange, 2014). This is basically an entry level position where those who are employed require more training to expand their knowledge skills. Due to the nature of ...

Good day! I am here today to speak to you about Area 51. Much has been said and written about Area 51.

Smoking is one of the most harmful habits dangerous to the health of not only smokers but also others. Currently, smoking has become a massive "epidemic" common among men, women and even children. The fact that smoking is harmful to health know everyone, but not all realize the true extent of its impact. Damage to health damage is delayed in time and not immediate, but gradual, usually after 10-20 years after the onset of smoking. Therefore, many smokers at first do not notice changes in their health status and believe that nothing will happen to them in the future, ...

Many of us are familiar with ninjas. We see them often in television shows and movies. In fact, the children knew them because of they are also depicted in cartoons.

History of Manufacturing Engineering

The history of manufacturing engineering can be raced back to the 19TH century in the United States and to 18TH century in the United Kingdom when home based mass production gained roots in the industrial productions in the two countries. However, many historic scholars view Matthew Boulton Soho`s manufactory that was established in Birmingham in 1761 as the beginning of the modern production firms. There are similar claims attributed to John Lombe`s silk mill that was constructed in 1721 at Derby or 1771 Cromford mill done by Richard Arkwright (In Quickenden, In Baggott & In Dick, 2013). Significant ...

Introduction

GST is one of the most controversial laws in Australia. Despite the fact that this tax is one of the major sources of Australian treasury, many critics contend the idea that it has a regressive nature. To be more specific, they argue that this tax has larger impact on lower income earners, suggesting that in comparison with those, who earn larger incomes, this tax consumes proportionally larger share of income. The proponents of the GST in their turn rebuffed by claiming that in order to furnish adequate reimbursements for these categories of people, the government of Australia introduced a ...

Stealth technology also known as low observable technology is an electronic countermeasure that is normally regarded passive (Singh 66). It is usually used by the military to acquire intelligence and secretly access enemy lines. This technology incorporates refined listening devices and invisible aircrafts used essentially to access enemy’s territory. Additionally, this technology employs a range of techniques used along with missiles, satellites, ships, personnel and aircrafts to fundamentally make them invisible from infrared while accessing enemy lines, sonar and any other detection technique. Apparently, it is clearly evident that Stealth Technology is yet to experience way many changes ...

1.0 Introduction Information security is very crucial especially for organizations whose information can be accessed through computer network. As network administrators try to set up security systems for data and information for such organizations, hackers and other cyber criminals also tries on how they can get the right of entry into the same systems illegally. Port scanning is used by both administrators as well as the hackers though for different intentions. Port scanning is thus one of the popular approaches used by administrators to examine or investigate information system security, penetration testing. It legally tries to break into ...

Introduction

I believe that people should have a positive view about technology. The standard beliefs of the society are that drones are used to carry out terrorism acts (Quintero 1).

The innovation of drones presents new and ethical issues that brought a lot of controversies from different leaders in religion, politics, and research. The complex nature of this issue requires a quick intervention in order to make the public understand the benefits of this technology in terms of maintaining security, conducting ...

Drones or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are often synonymous to the remote controlled jet-like machines currently used by the military to conduct reconnaissance and stealth operations in major conflicts around the globe. Millions of dollars have been spent to produce these state-of-the-art machines in order to improve military operations in uncharted terrain. In recent years, manufacturers have managed to replicate the technology used by these million dollar machines and miniaturize them for commercial use. Many consumers use these drones for leisure or photography, but there are also groups using these drones for questionable activities like stalking, spying and even ...

Primarily we must know what we mean by unmanned vehicles, unmanned vehicles refer to all mechanic organisms capable of movement without direct human control. Although the birth of this unmanned human technology has reduced the chances of errors, the risk of human life (for the attacker) and has given wide access to attacking units it has created a negative image of these unmanned vehicles. According to an article by CNN Robotic Warfare expert Peter Singer says that although this technology has allowed the US to target an increasing number of terrorist leaders, perhaps it has also given them a better recruiting ...

The issue of national security is a very critical and sensitive issue in the U.S., because of past terrorist attacks. The government has a duty to protect its people and hence it puts in place measures that can prevent future attacks. The NSA ”Information Assurance (AI)” is tasked with the responsibility of executing measures that prevent enemies of the U.S. from gaining access to sensitive information or classified security information (NSA). The “signals intelligence (SIGINT)” collects, analyses, processes, and dispatches foreign information signals for purposes of intelligence, counterintelligence, and support of military operations (NSA). The NSA’s is crucial because timely ...

The media is an essential part of the society. It informs the public on numerous issues including politics, the economy, social welfare, sports, the weather, and culture among others things. In a democratic society, it is not only desirable to have a free and independent media, but it is also significant that the media should maintain high standards of integrity in their reporting. This is because the information given out is consumed by the public without significant evaluation. Most people believe in what they read on newspapers, what they watch on television or hear from the radio. Increased technological advancements have ...

Introduction

Rootkits by definition are a collection of tools used, by hackers and attackers, to gain access and “maintain command / control over any computer system” they are installed (Dunham, 2006, 2007: Zimerman, 2010). In other words, rootkits are stealth malwares that modify core system files in a manner that the user may not easily know (see Liu & Cheng, 2009, Zimerman, 2010 and Van Oorschot & Wurster, 2012). Rootkits are not only hidden systems problems; they are also a nightmare both now and in the future. In the modern world, computer security is marred by a series of threats including hacking, Trojan horses, key ...
