identify the networks single points of failure, and recommend ways of improving the networks fault tolerance.

1.Complete Project 14-1 from the book and submit a snapshot of the outcome before you exit
As a network administrator, you are more likely to work on a network that is already established than to design a new network from scratch. If the network lacks proper availability, integrity, and security, you will want to introduce these measures. Before making any recommendations, however, you must first examine every element of the network. In this project, you will assess a network diagram, identify the networks single points of failure, and recommend ways of improving the networks fault tolerance. For this project, you will need a way of recording your findings, whether on paper or on a computer.
2.Complete Project 14-2 from the book and submit a snapshot of the outcome before you exit
In addition to considering every single point of failure, to protect a network you must be aware of potential threats from malware. In this chapter, you learned about malware that can affect a computers programs, operating system, and storage. This project leads you to consider ways in which the network you redesigned in Project 14-1 could be threatened by malware and how to guard against such threats. For this project, it would be helpful to refer to the diagram you drew in Step 7 of Project 14-1. You will also need a computer with Internet access to research malware types, plus a way to record your findings, whether on paper or on the computer.
3.Merge all snapshots in a single Word document before submitting.

GENDER

INTRODUCTION TO INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS
Here is a brief about the class : This course introduces students to the academic discipline of International Relations (IR). We first consider what an academic discipline is and the specific characteristics of IR as a distinct scholarly Endeavour, separate from other disciplines such as politics, law or sociology. Then we provide an overview of the competing traditions and theories of IR and the way these have developed in the context of particular political problems and issues at particular historical moments. Understanding these developments and the historical, political and intellectual circumstances that have given rise to different problems, theories, debates and subfields gives students a good orientation in IR and helps them contextualize the ideas they encounter in other IR courses.
Students are asked to pick one of the
following concepts.

I chose the CONCEPT: GENDER .

Here are some info about the topic Gender: This week we explore feminist interventions in IR. The lecture explores how, despite the fact that many issues pertinent to IR are highly gendered in their nature and effects, the discipline has tended to be blind to the questions of gender. We examine what is meant by gender and the various concerns that feminist IR scholars have articulated, such as the gendered nature of power structures and practice in international politics, the effects of diverse constructions of masculinity and femininity and the gendered focus of the mainstream of academic international relations.

Questions to think about in preparation for the lecture:
Can the language of security ever be gender neutral?
What are the most important feminist challenges to IR?
Is IR a masculine discipline and what does this mean?

international development : IDEAS AND ACTORS

Pick a development dilemma and write a piece about it, engaging with different perspectives on it. It could be big and broad, like one of the questions here Is aid causing more harm than good in Africa or it could be quite specific, looking in depth at, for example, Corporate Social Responsibility or Brand Aid.

Key readings for the module

Here\’s a list of readings that will give you a longer-term perspective on development – and which scotch the myth that development began with President Truman\’s post-war speech. Some are old, but no less classic: at the very minimum Hirshmann and Wolf should be read by every development student.

Hirschmann, Albert (1967) Development Projects Observed, Washington: The Brookings Institution. This is a brilliant book with timeless lessons about development. See particularly his discussion of the desire for a myth of progress to believe in as a driving motivational force for those who work in development.

Lange, Matthew (2004) British Colonial Legacies and Political Development, World Development, Vol 32(6): 905-922. This very interesting article explores the impact of British colonialism on development, highlighting a number of significant differences in the type and extent of colonialism and effects that continue to be felt in the countries that were colonised by the British Empire.

Fialho, Djalita (2012) Altruism but not Quite: the genesis of the least developed country (ldc) category, Third World Quarterly, 33:5, 751-768. This article looks at the history of the creation of the label \’least developed country\’ and the politics that surrounds the use of this category.

Fletcher, Robert (2012) \’The Art of Forgetting: imperialist amnesia and public secrecy\’, Third World Quarterly, 33:3,423-439

Moyo, Dambisa (2008), A Brief History of Aid in Dead Aid: Why Aid is Not Working and How there is Another Way for Africa,London: Penguin, pp10-28. Told by a former World Bank economist, this is another narrative on the decades of development assistance, with figures to match.

Rist, G. (2002) The History of Development: FromWestern Origins to Global Faith, London: Zed Books

Robb, C. (2004) Changing power relations in the history of aid, in Inclusive Aid: Changing Power and Relationships in Development,ed. Rachel Hinton and Leslie Groves, London: Earthscan. This is a short and easy to read piece that scans some of the significant landmarks in the history of aid.

Syed, Jawad and Faiza Ali (2011) \’The White Woman\’s Burden: from colonial civilisation to Third World development\’, Third World Quarterly, 32:2, 349-365

Wolf, Eric (1982) Europe and the People Without History, Berkeley: California University Press.
