Ethical banking. An ethical bank, also known as a social, alternative, civic, or sustainable bank, is a bank concerned with the social and environmental impacts of its investments and loans. Ethical banks are part of a larger societal movement, called "Banktivism," which calls for a move towards more social and environmental responsibility in the financial sector. This movement includes: ethical investment, socially responsible investment, corporate social responsibility, and is also related to such movements as the fair trade movement, ethical consumerism, etc. The most notable association for ethical banking is the Global Alliance for Banking on Values. Increasingly, the practice of ethical banking, or banktivism, is being taught and supported within university business schools. History[edit] Historically banks have been viewed solely as financial institutions, which should concern themselves with all things financial.

Some businesses externalize costs onto the environment and society. Discussion[edit] FTSE KLD 400 Social Index.

Common in video games, these projections have also been useful in geographic visualization (GVIS) to help understand visual-cognitive spatial representations or 3D visualization.[1] The terms ¾ perspective and ¾ view trace their origins to portraiture and facial recognition, where they are used to describe a view of a person's face which is partway between a frontal view and a side view.[2] Computer graphics[edit] Axonometric & oblique projection[edit] Lincity tiles 2D axonometric graphical elements to create a 2.5D game environment.

F-Secure has discovered a bot that commands Twitter accounts to help in the generation of Bitcoins. Security firm F-Secure has discovered a bot that compromises Twitter accounts to help in the generation of Bitcoins.

Bitcoin is a decentralized virtual currency that was formed by programmers in 2009, and is generated by programming computers to calculate highly complex math problems. The more computing power you have, the faster you can create Bitcoins; this is why Bitcoin rigs often look like massive sculptures of connected servers. According to an F-Secure blog post, the Twitter-based command below generates a bot that can control the Twitter user's computer and add it to a bitcoin mining rig. F-Secure identified bots generated with this command as Trojan.Generic.KD. Last month Symantec blogged about the potential of creating botnets used to mine bitcoins, without the computer owner ever knowing. For more, see "Which Bitcoin Exchange Can You Trust? " Information Warfare Monitor. The Information Warfare Monitor (IWM) was an advanced research activity tracking the emergence of cyberspace as a strategic domain.

It closed January 2012. It was a public-private venture between two Canadian institutions: The SecDev Group, an operational think tank based in Ottawa (Canada), and the Citizen Lab at the Munk School of Global Affairs, University of Toronto. The Principal Investigators and co-founders of the Information Warfare Monitor are Rafal Rohozinski (The Secdev Group) and Ronald Deibert (Citizen Lab). The Information Warfare Monitor is part of the Citizen Lab’s network of advanced research projects, which include the OpenNet Initiative, the Fusion Methodology Centre, and PsiLab.

It was an independent research effort and its stated mission was to build and broaden the evidence base available to scholars, policy makers, and others. History[edit] Activities[edit] The Information Warfare Monitor engages in three primary activities Case studies. Field-based investigations. Virtual private network.

VPN connectivity overview A virtual private network connection across the Internet is similar to a wide area network (WAN) link between sites. From a user perspective, the extended network resources are accessed in the same way as resources available within the private network.[2] VPNs allow employees to securely access their company's intranet while traveling outside the office. Similarly, VPNs securely connect geographically disparate offices of an organization, creating one cohesive network. VPN technology is also used by Internet users to connect to proxy servers for the purpose of protecting personal identity and location.

Types[edit] Early data networks allowed VPN-style remote connectivity through dial-up modems or through leased line connections utilizing Frame Relay and Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) virtual circuits, provisioned through a network owned and operated by telecommunication carriers.

Object-oriented programming. Overview[edit] Rather than structure programs as code and data, an object-oriented system integrates the two using the concept of an "object". An object has state (data) and behavior (code). Objects correspond to things found in the real world. So for example, a graphics program will have objects such as circle, square, menu. An online shopping system will have objects such as shopping cart, customer, product. The shopping system will support behaviors such as place order, make payment, and offer discount. The objects are designed as class hierarchies. The goals of object-oriented programming are: Increased understanding.Ease of maintenance.Ease of evolution. The overall understanding of the system is increased because the semantic gap—the distance between the language spoken by developers and that spoken by users—is lessened.

Object-orientation takes this to the next step. History[edit] Fundamental features and concepts [edit] A survey by Deborah J. Benjamin C. INVITE2WATCH.COM. HDfury.com. Future Media Concepts - Authorized Apple, Adobe, Autodesk, Avid, and NewTek Training by Certified Instructors.
