1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The St. Albans and Swanton, Vermont area contains an intense concentration of dairy farms. It also is the site of the Vermont Northwest State Correctional Facility. The opportunity exists for a manure management system that generates electricity and heat for consumption by the

As an information security officer for a small pharmacy there are a few things that need to be addressed. As with all companies it is top priority to make sure that the data that is input into the machines stays safe and to make sure that the people using the computers know it is their responsibility as well.

This is an honest letter to conservatives. I want us to talk, to see each other eye to eye, and to have better communication. I implore you to not take offense to this post. Please share and discuss. This post is not about putting anyone down for their views or for who they voted for, rather it is to enlighten and reach some understanding.

Network security is just as important as securing the company’s web site and related applications. Networks, because of the sensitive data they usually give access to, are one of the most targeted public faces of an organization. Here are the top 5 network security vulnerabilities that are often omitted from typical reviews, and some tips to avoid making the same mistakes:

STEM drives the world. It sparks change (Science), drives innovation (Technology), provides jobs (Engineering), makes us think (Mathematics), and puts us where we are, as the most advanced species on Earth, and possibly even in the Milky Way. The STEM Academy at Landstown High is one of the few advanced academies preparing students for the 21st Century, to go forth and explore more science, create and shape new technologies, engineer new wonders, and think and ponder it all, advancing the human race. I would like to apply to the STEM Academy because I would like to be a part of this innovation, and I hope to gain new hands-on experience which only this academy offers bountifully.

Throughout the 20th century, the advancements of technology have increased, as well as the population in each state prison. The real question is has technology advanced enough throughout the years to help capture criminals more than the years past? Having new technology will increase the number of criminals to be caught, even on cold case files. As the years surpassed, cases became cold but only the technology has not. New systems were implemented in DNA testing, allowing it to be easier to trace down one criminal.

The swine industry faces growing scrutiny of its environmental stewardship practices. With the growing water quality concerns the potential impact of an individual operation on the environment depends on terrain, soil, weather, animal concentration, production and waste management strategies, and many other conditions. Some simple strategies to prevent a negative impact include, improved storage, correct application and handling of manure to limit as many negative environmental impacts. If producers can manage these issues responsibly it will get them one-step closer to a more sustainable approach to enhance soil, air, and water quality through the effective use of swine manure.
