Counseling Components for Individuals with Disabilities
Counseling components for meeting special career requirements of people with disabilities are important to help ensure the individuals feel confident in their daily tasks and are successful in their careers. Many people with disabilities face challenges not only while trying to perform their duties but also when having to deal with the perceptions of others in the workplace toward someone with a disability. There is a ripple effect that is caused from this perception, the individual with the disability has to deal with the feelings that arise knowing that they are viewed or thought of in this way, that individual then may be less forthcoming when they need assistance and as a result be impeded to perform their duties and have a fulfilling career.

Artistic Qualities of an Aboriginal Rock Drawing
Art is a way through which certain people interact with each other and express themselves. The aboriginal rock drawing “Wanjinda” and Michellango’s “Last Judgment” show a lot of similar artistic qualities. The aboriginal rock drawing is one of the oldest forms of art found throughout the history of man. From the illustrations that were presented in the readings, it could be seen that the Aboriginal people are able to claim that they have the longest tradition in this medium and that tradition has not been broken. The examples of the earliest works which were created by the Aboriginal people and included various paintings and artworks that were created on rocks and in caves. It has been identified that many of the societies that were involved in creating this art have become extinct however Aboriginal art still thrives in Australia today. This is as there are artists in Australia who still use the traditional methods for creating artworks which have become part of Australian culture for thousands of years. Michelangelo's “Last Judgement” is also an important artwork from history and represents an important moment in Christian art. The focus of the paper is concentrated on comparing and contrasting the artistic qualities of Aboriginal Rock Drawings (The Wanjinda) and Michellango’s Last Judgment.

Benefits of a Database in the Workplace
While most of my essays have sources and are based on exterior information this one is based on my own experience and evaluation of implementing databases in both the medical and automotive industry. It was written as a case study for a class I took later in life to become Microsoft Access Certified. While it is no secret a database is effective in creating a secure way to manage data, those who are planning to implement one may be looking for some reasons as to why.

Trends in Science Fiction Movies
Classic and modern science fiction films, or movies as they are called today all seem to share some similar trends. While there is a definite standard with situations in the films that leaves them to be predictable at times, there is also a degree of social influence that plays a role. In fact if one was to watch a film released in the 1970's they may find there to be a lot of politically incorrect language, offensive humor or concepts that have since been proven to be flat out wrong. A good comparison of this would be to look at the original film Ghostbusters released in 1984 and compare it to the dumpster fire reboot made in 2016. While the studio had hoped to rekindle the love of older generations to with the franchise while enticing a younger audience, they instead caused many of us to anxiously want a reboot of the reboot.

How a CISO Uses Social Science Research
The field of Cyber Security is ever evolving. As hardware and software becomes more advanced so do the level of threats. The Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) has become an essential role in most organizations (Monzelo et al, 2019). It is the responsibility of the CISO to develop an information security plan, implement that plan and continually adjust policies and procedures as required (Monzelo et al, 2019). The CISO role requires an understanding of the requirements of the organization it is protecting (Monzelo et al, 2019). There is also a need for understanding the behavior and habits of users in order to identify a possible security risk before it occurs (Monzelo et al, 2019). By using social science research, a CISO can effectively identify suspicious behavior and predict a security risk before it happens.

the gifts
Gifts from my parents, like my first heavy bag and wraps, often came as solutions to what was given to me in far more precious and formative years. They bought stuff to solve the problems that came with these early, less material gifts. I remember most fondly the Everlast blend of poly-foam in leather that hung from the basement of my childhood home. It was a later offering to temper The Rage–one of Mother’s first gifts to me.

To Comma or Not to Comma
In my travels I have often come across many people who tell me they are stupid for having issues with English. I always say to them they are not stupid, English is difficult. With so many generations of slang and different dialect created around the world, proper, written English can be very difficult for anyone. When it comes to writing a law, rule or agreement the interpretation of how the language is written, rather than how it is intended to be read, is how any decision based on the wording will be made. Imagine making a 5 million dollar mistake over misinterpreting the writing of a labor law rule in your native language.

Communicating Professionalism
Abstract A team of six people are tasked to make the decision of how to use a vacant piece of company property located centrally in a metropolitan area. The property has no structures on it and is paved. Approximately 20% of the land is covered in debris and neighbors have filled complaints with the local officials about its state and undesirable gatherings happening there in the late evenings. Although the location is considered prime real estate it is not being utilized and as a result produces a fiscal loss in taxes and basic utility fees each year. The team is to explore and unanimously decide on the best option to manage the property by reducing or eliminating financial loss and improving perception of property with the community.

Killers of the Flower Moon
During the 1920s, a vile plot unfurled in the core of the US, a plot that would perpetually scar the historical backdrop of the Osage Local American clan. This dim part in American history shapes the setting of Martin Scorsese's most recent realistic magnum opus, "Killers of the Flower Moon. The film depends on a genuine story and highlights a remarkable cast including Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, and Lily Gladstone. In this article, we'll dive into the film's depiction of its characters and its strong investigation of affection, double-crossing, and the progression of time.
