Developing an information security plan

Developing an information security plan is a daunting task that requires careful planning and execution. Information security plans can be combined with information assurance programs that are integrated sets of business and technological processes. Information assurance programs just like information security programs must be deliberately designed and deployed through strategic planning activities of an organization. Information assurance can only be achieved if organizations take a holistic approach focusing on technology, operation, and people. Each of these facets of information security framework should receive equal attention and design in a way that they can work in harmony. Each organization should perform a risk analysis as part of their information security roadmap, a risk analysis determines which assets are more valuable and need more resources dedicated to detect, prevent and avoid security incidents that could harm the organization and its stakeholders.

iOS application development

Creating an application can be a daunting yet easy task. For example how do you add, play and stop audio? Below is a sample switch code you could use for this function: // // PlaySoundsViewController.swift // SoundRecording // // Created by Jackson on 8/20/15. // Copyright (c) 2015 yosohotech. All rights reserved. // import UIKit import AVFoundation class PlaySoundsViewController: UIViewController { var audioPlayer:AVAudioPlayer! override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() // Do any additional setup after loading the view. if var filePath = NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("movie_quote", ofType: "mp3"){ var filePathurl = NSURL.fileURLWithPath(filePath) audioPlayer = AVAudioPlayer(contentsOfURL: filePathurl, error: nil) audioPlayer.enableRate = true } else{ println("the filepath is empty") } } @IBAction func playSlowAudio(sender: UIButton) { //Play audio slooowly here..... audioPlayer.stop() audioPlayer.rate = 0.2 audioPlayer.currentTime = 0.0 audioPlayer.play() } @IBAction func playFastAudio(sender: UIButton) { //Play fast audio here... audioPlayer.stop() audioPlayer.rate = 2.0 audioPlayer.currentTime = 0.0 audioPlayer.play() } @IBAction func stopPlayingMusic(sender: UIButton) { //Stop playing audio file here... audioPlayer.stop() } override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() { super.didReceiveMemoryWarning() // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated. } /* // MARK: - Navigation // In a storyboard-based application, you will often want to do a little preparation before navigation override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?) { // Get the new view controller using segue.destinationViewController. // Pass the selected object to the new view controller. } */ } http://www.mendeley.com/research/udacity-21st-century-university/

Uganda and Rwanda gorilla tourism

Uganda was 1900-1962 under British rule. Before that it was composed many centuries of several separate kingdoms.
The independent Uganda had a turbulent time under several dictators, until President Yoweri Museveni gained control in 1986 and brought together a torn country. Since that time, the coexistence in the country except for occasional disturbances such as in the border region with Sudan and Uganda has consequently peacefully enjoyed rapid economic growth.
In the Travel to Uganda and Rwanda  the mountain gorillas in the areas of Bwindi, Mgahinga and Nkuringo meet a fascinating experience. You are very special animals - rare gentle giant. The detection of gorillas is a unique experience - it makes us into a foreign country and meet unusual creatures.
During the Travel to Uganda You will experience an extraordinary diversity of landscape and vegetation. Uganda is located in the transitional zone between the tropical East African savannah and the West African rainforest zones. The south is mostly through the forest and subtropical cultivation (coffee and tea) are covered. There are woodland and open savannah - and grazing areas. The north is drier than the rest of the country. It is covered in the semi-arid desert with Akazienwälderm.
The guide takes you through the world of gorillas, explains aspects of their environment and their behavior along the way. It is a basic introduction about gorillas, which are important for understanding both of the groups in Bwindi national park and Mgahinga in the Group. In two separate groups of gorillas in parks people have been accustomed. The groups are named after the area where this resides.
We emphasize that, although there are excellent opportunities to see gorillas, this can not be guaranteed! They have no fixed routine, and their discovery requires the expertise and experience of your trackers and guides, as well as a bit of luck! The guides and trackers who helped train the gorilla groups of people and make them familiar. They will bring you into the area where the gorillas were seen the day before.

My cousin Regie and I on a trip to Uganda

We traveled to the south, with a maintained between stop in Masaka town, where I once again 'my' dentist visited. Unfortunately, she did not really help and I was back in Belgium again. Luckily I did not suffer as much as the other tooth.

In Masaka we have a driver and car settled, giving us the next 10 days, driving around.

First to Kisoro, Mgahinga National Park. There we would do if we could still do our gorilla safaris  since the permits still were available. They were there if we could wait 2 days.

That we could, now we took a walk in that NP. To get to the park you'll drive over a giga-bad road (and that's saying a lot in Uganda) through some villages are very poor appearance. Here live people who are put out of the woods when she made a protected park. To compensate for this they receive a portion of the money from the park entrance fees received from the tourists. This is then invested in schools and hospitals. Schools and hospitals that I have not seen up close, but everything looked very armtierig out, and people were not happy to see us (according to my impression). They laughed and waved to the Muzungu's not like in the rest of the country.

The walk was fun and nice, and the guide told us about the other things you can do in the park, such as gorilla and golden monkey trekking. The monkeys are made familiar with this people, so they are easier to find.Golden Monkey treks can also be done in Rwanda parks , you may include it in a itinerary.

When we were out of the park (again after a drive through the villages of expelled people) we both had an uneasy feeling because of the gorilla trekking. We decided not to do. Let the animals in peace. I do not want them to people who are used to make me a cool experience to give. Protect them, but leave them alone.

For those who do trekking: enjoy it!

The weather was very bad in Kisoro, and not bother to another 2 days to hang. Called to our next place (which I had already booked for the year-end) to ask if we could come a little earlier. This was possible, and thanks to the convenience of a private driver the same day we departed from Kisoro to Lake Bunyonyi to go to an island on which to relax.

Delightful place, a small island with a few safari tents and some cottages in the middle of the lake. The weather was something better. First day idled nice and healthy, gigantic burned (actually very smart for you to smear all except 1 where it's needed most was good), these days more of that, just do not sunbathe because not much sun more.

Walked around the island an hour's time, many birds examined (one was literally sunbathing, see pictures, hilarious!) And New Year's Eve at 10am sleep.

Delicious!

Queen Elizabeth National Park was the next stop. Because only overpriced accommodation available near the park, we drove a lot to the Rwenzori Mountains to do something cheaper overnight.

Next morning at 4:30 to get back up to drive to the park for a game drive to do, and hopefully to see lions! Unfortunally, who had that day not want any to show, so I hope I still go see them in Tanzania.

It was wonderful to see the sunrise, and all these animals in Peis and quiet on the savannah to see frolicking.

Back to the Rwenzori's there the next day to a one-day trek to do. 3h and 3h back according to the guide.

After 4 hours we were still not on the lunch spot arrived (where the road descends again would start) and I against the guide said that my condition was not suitable to go further (also bearing in mind that we are back to were also down). Isabelle Yes, I had thought that it was fortunate that you had in der ni! But it was clear that I in my life, not a lot of sports and exercise have done ...

Nevertheless, it was a very nice walk, definitely worth repeating.

Most people who come there to go for a 6 - or 9-day trek into the mountains.

Chapeau.

After the Rwenzori's back along Masaka, Reggie to the school to show where I've given 2 weeks lesson. We also visited the piggery of our driver. Cute! And say there is lots of small chops roam ...

The manure of the pigs was used to fertilize his land. Quite a nice system, and the stench was even too bad. It was a natural scent.

That was the smell of sweat from our guide in the Rwenzori's also, but if I had some more problems ...

And then we were back in Besaniya and Reggie had to leave again. Eventually a very abrupt goodbye because I do not participate in the airpot allowed inside, ni cool, but yes.

Reggie has now arrived in Beirut in one piece, without luggage, where all our memories in it ... hopefully that baggage still on!
