Her family consists of a mother and father and an 8-year old bother named Mike. Kerry’s father works regular-hour weeks and her mother did not work until Mike was a year old at which time she returned to her job as a nurse.

For instance, the perceptions of beauty were satirized by Sandra Bullock in the movie titled Miss Congeniality.

However, security-conscious organizations have instigated incorporated penetration testing, susceptibility assessments, and source encryption appraisals in their software progress sequence. Thus, once they release an innovative or new application, it has previously been over several phases of analysis and remediation. Consequently, organizations undertake penetration trials to reinforce their company protection systems, all processor structures, and accompanying the Information Technology substructure. Moreover, penetration tests aid organizations in advancing their cybersecurity. They ought to thus be conducted on an even basis since cyber delinquents continually search for new feeble points of emergent systems, packages, and applications (Bertoglio & Zorzo, 2017).

Speech on current issues in the education system, In his speech, Sir Ken Robinson addresses one of the current issues in the education system, which is the inclusiveness of arts education in public schools. The most compelling part of his speech is when he states that arts education is a vital component of public schools syllabus and the policymakers should not avoid implementing such programs. Sir Ken attaches the value of art to education, stating that learners have a lot to learn about arts in their education system, and it is the responsibility of education policymakers to incorporate arts in the system. From his argument, Robinson puts more value in arts education as a way of promoting talents in the students and helping them appreciate their culture. I think that arts education is vital and should be fully included in the system. It is a way of promoting cultural tolerance and encouraging talents among students at a tender age. Ken’s case to place more emphasis on arts education in public schools should be supported, especially for residential schools. Through arts,…
