Securing the Web
Cyber security is a field that deals with technology, the internet, and the security threats that can come from the Internet. The Chatham House stated that "cyber security also examines security strategies for combating cyber crime and other cyber threats to critical infrastructure, such as civil and military nuclear facilities." If a person understands cyber security they can use their skills to help protect computers and systems from hackers that are trying to disrupt the system or gaining unauthorized access to the system to gain benefits from the information contained inside the targeted system. Since cyber security is a very broad field, one can't know everything within the field. Cyber security involves fields like ethical hacking, security analyst, policies and cryptography, security researcher and many more.

My Very First Professional Byline
Once upon a time, in the eighties, my mother decided to go back to school. She had always wanted to study journalism, but, instead, she got married and had ten children. When my father died, my mom had to raise the six youngest children on her own. Not a small task for someone who never had the opportunity to go to college. When my father passed away in 1965, I was barely ten years old, the youngest of the ten kids. As I said, my mother raised up, mostly on her own, and was the best mother in the world —even the neighborhood kids believed it. As life went on and we all grew up, my mother decided to go back to school to get her journalism degree—she was 55 years old! Six months before she graduated, she was hired by the Cleveland Press to work as a staff reporter. After she graduated the Cleveland Press fell on hard times and was swallowed up by the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Although she never did get to work as a reporter, I always have the memory of the poetry she was always writing when I was a child. She had a full album of poetry. And, at least by finishing college, she had the knowledge that she had accomplished what she had set out to do, all those years ago.

Life After Education
I remember sitting in my secondary school classes thinking about how I couldn't wait to grow up and be a 'proper adult'. Since then, I've been to college, studied at university, and am about start to my third job after university. And being a 23 year old British man, I have a higher chance of dying from suicide as a result of mental health issues than anything else.

The Art of Gathering
How could I resist an offer to check out Peter Jackson’s new documentary to mark the centenary of the first world war’s end? He has created a visually staggering thought experiment; an immersive deep-dive into what it was like for ordinary British soldiers on the western front. He has restored flickery old black-and-white archive footage of the servicemen’s life in training and in the trenches. He’s colourised it, he has dubbed in what the men were actually saying, and has used diaries and letters for narrative voiceover. The effect is electrifying.

Differences Between Software Engineering and Programming
Difference Between SE and Developer A Reality Check Software Engineers and Developer are two entirely different animals. They think differently, they behave differently, and most importantly of all, they code differently. Many people get the two confused, and that makes sense if you don't know very much about computers and software engineering. Of course, there is some overlap, but they should be differentiated.
