The Differences of High School Diplomas in New York City

-
   To graduate high school in New York City, a student is required to have a diploma showing that they have completed the certain requirements to graduate high school. That person would need a minimum of 44 credits of courses. In most high schools in New York, there are two different kinds of diplomas. A Regents Diploma, and an Advanced Regents Diploma. Each types of diploma requires the certain amount of credits in each subject: eight credits in English, eight credits in Social Studies, six credits in Science, six credits in Mathematics, four credits of physical education, one credit of health, and two credits of Visual Art, Music, Dance, and/or Theater. These credits are must required to get either a Regents Diploma or an Advanced Regents Diploma. If you want a Regents Diploma, you need the credits I mentioned earlier, and more. That includes two credits of Language other than English, and seven elective credits. To obtain and Advanced Regents Diploma, you need there same amount of credits for Regents Diploma, but instead of two credits for Language other than English, you'll need six credits of Language other than English, and instead of needing 7 elective credits, you only need three elective credits. All of the information that was provided was credits wise, now we'll talk about the regents.

   For a Regents Diploma, you need a passing score on the English regents, passing score for any one of the Common Core Math regents, passing score on the Global History and U.S. History and Government regents, and a passing score on any Science regents. For an Advanced Regents Diploma, you need a passing score on the English regents, passing score on all three of the Common Core Math regents, passing score on the Global History and U.S. History and Government regents, a passing score on any two of the Science regents, and a passing score on a Language Other Than English(LOTE) Exam. If you're in a CTE Academy, and you want to obtain an Advanced Regents Diploma, you only need two credits of Language other than English, and won't be required to take the LOTE Exam, only if you're in a CTE academy.

   Achieving a CTE endorsement on my diploma will benefit me because it shows colleges, and jobs that I have experience working with Web Design, and it shows that I put in the extra work that other students who don't have the endorsement didn't do. It shows that I am certified in that area in work, and it can be a way for me to get a job easier in that line of work, just because of that endorsement. Some of the unique benefits of it is that you get six college credits, and can be able to get paid internships, and even part-time jobs.

If you made it this far, thank you for reading my blog, hope you have a good day, and I'll see you next time.

Blown to Bits: Chapter 2, 5, 7, 8 Summary

-
Chapter 2 The second chapter of Blown to Bits, entitled  Naked in the Sunlight  brings forth the alarming fact that in a world of bits, none of one’s information can be protected.    The author opens up the chapter with a comparison to George Orwell’s novel  1984 , where the characters are always being watched by a government force called Big Brother.    In the novel, the ruling party has complete surveillance over all the people, and the author compares this to modern day London.    The author cites the Subway bombers of 2005 to prove his point.    During the time of the bombings, London was under heightened security, and by using the footage from surveillance cameras, they had no problem getting images of the bombers and their trip before detonating the bombs.    Finally the author draws the conclusion that “1984 is here, and we like it”. Chapter 5 In chapter five of Blown to Bits, the author explores the complex wor...

Blown To Bits: Chapter 3-Ghosts in the Machine

-
In chapter 3 of "Blown to Bits",  pages 91-92 discuss how certain objects were used before, and differentiates on how it's used and changed in today's society. One example that the chapter mentions is how music used to be stored on a compact disk known as a CD, but it's changed now in the present.In the chapter it says, " At the time the CD format was adopted as a standard, decompression circuitry for CD players would have been too costly for use in homes and automobiles, so music could not be recorded in compressed form. The magic of Apple’s iPod is not just the huge capacity and tiny physical size of its disk, it is the power of the processing chip that renders the stored model as music.  The birth of new technologies presage the death of old technologies. Digital cameras killed the silver halide film industry; analog television sets will soon be gone; phonograph records gave way to cassette tapes, which in turn gave way to compact disks, which are themselv...

Are you an expert in DNS?

-
1)Why does the internet use IP addresses?              - The internet uses IP addresses in order to identify which website is which, and who it belongs to. 2)Why don't we need to know IP addresses?             - Because sometimes, one IP address stays the same for one website, and it never changes. Henceforth IP address stay the same as it originally was for some websites, but not all. 3)Why do we need a Domain Name System?             - Because we need to know certain tags for websites, when they cant be accessed by how they originally are. 4)Why don't we all maintain our own DNS?             - Because having our own DNS isn't always necessary or needed all the time. 5)Is there one big DNS for the entire internet?             - In my opinion, I don't think so because, the internet is just to big of a source for it to hav...
