...Rather than select a single painting, I chose to focus on a series of paintings by Claude Monet. I am drawn to his work, and I was having a difficult time choosing one painting to discuss content, so I opted for one of his series of painting. The title Haystack Series refers primarily to twenty-five canvas paintings in his Impressionistic style. The images depicted in these painting are of haystacks, large piles of hay, shaped with a conical top, and typically left out in fields. The shape protected the innermost hay from the elements. Monet could see haystacks from the door of his home in Giverny, and as such, began painting them in his series style. Although the paintings may look like nothing but a simple haystack, that haystack is representative of many things. Just the visual represents the beauty of the French countryside, but there is a deeper meaning to each haystack. The haystacks emphasize the prosperity of that region of France. There in Normandy, France, small farms and villages needed that hay to survive. Farmers harvested it up into late July, but it sat, stored in those haystacks, sometimes until March when the threshing machine arrived at that village or farm. Because this is a series of paintings, I cannot leave out what I feel is the most important part of the content—the light. Monet was known for his depiction of light through colors and brush strokes, and the Haystacks Series is no different. This series features the main subject in different seasons...

...How To Make Your Website Sticky What a great feeling it is to land on a stellar page that’s rich with content that jumps out at you. A good user interface is like staring at a plate of Grandmother’s sticky buns. They’re both very enticing. On the contrary, sites with crappy UI make you feel like you’re lost and wasting your time. Why is having a sticky website so important? It enhances your site by making it more attractive, fun and rewarding to the user. Let’s go over some benefits. Benefits Of A Sticky Website More Time On Site Frequent visitors will be well informed of new product launches, sales promotions, seasonal offers and any improvements made on your existing products. They’ll become loyal customers, eventually influencing their friends to become customers also. More Social Sharing Today, sharing has become even better with the advancement of social media sharing tools. People who are impressed like to share their experiences with others. This helps spread the word about your brand and products on offer, thus boosting your internet marketing campaigns. Subsequently, you will win a larger market share by recruiting new clients, and eventually achieve your competitive edge in that niche. Better Relationships A sticky website creates a long-lasting relationship with users and they will become part of the site and product development process.

...critique I chose to use a manual I found online for an Avaya 3920 wireless telephone. The five criteria I had set for the manual beforehand were: it needed to be written in the second person, it needed to have a table of contents, it needed to be easy to understand/non-technical, the terminology needed to stay consistent throughout, and the manual needed to appear professional. The first thing that I noticed when the manual opened was that the first few pages were essentially legal notices. There was also a portion about the author/s making their best effort to make sure everything was accurate at the time of writing. I thought that was a good way to start. They seemed to cover all of their bases from a legal perspective. After getting through the legal notices, I found the table of contents. Ding, Ding, Ding, it matched one of my criteria. The table of contents was laid out, in my opinion, just the way it should have been. It started out with the introduction and all things a person would expect with that. (Welcome, brief description of the manuals layout, and it gave a website where the user can get more information.) The other sections in the table of contents were mainly for installation and setup. After I got through examining the table of contents I started to read the actual manual. The main manual started in “Chapter 2” as they called it. As I was reading through chapter 2, the first thing I noticed was an acronym that I still have no idea what it means. The...

After applying an update, automated systems should verify that each system has received its signature update. Configure laptops, workstations, and servers so that they will not auto-run content from USB tokens (i.e., "thumb drives"), USB hard drives, CDs/DVDs, Firewire devices, external serial advanced technology attachment devices, mounted network shares, or other removable media. If the devices are not required for business use, they should be disabled. Configure systems so that they conduct an automated anti-malware scan of removable media when it is inserted. All e-mail attachments entering the organization's e-mail gateway should be scanned and blocked if they contain malicious code or file types unneeded for the organization's business. This scanning should be done before the e-mail is placed in the user's inbox. This includes e-mail content filtering and web content filtering. Apply anti-virus scanning at the Web Proxy gateway.

...1 The Effect of Prediction on Depth of Encoding Student X name University of New South Wales 2 Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of prediction on depth of encoding. Participants (N=136) were given sentence stems and instructed to think of a word to finish the sentence. The full sentence was then completed with either a predictive or a nonpredictive word, and a recognition test given to see how well each word was retained in memory. Out of the three hypotheses, the results supported stronger encoding of predictive words over non-predictive words or the prediction itself. It was suggested this could be due to predictive words forming a more elaborate memory trace, which then integrated better with existing mental categories. 3 The Effect of Prediction on Depth of Encoding When reading a sentence, the mind can form a prediction about which word should come next. Yet it is not clear how this prediction affects the encoding of the actual word that completes the sentence. A word that fulfils the prediction could be better encoded than one that violates it, simply because it forms a smoother fit, or because the mind was already prepared for it. Alternatively, the violation itself might create a stronger impact, leading to better encoding. A third possibility also exists: that the prediction overwrites the encoding of the actual word, regardless of its congruency. One of the most enduring theories of encoding is the levels of processing framework...

...philosophy. Primarily, Open Source fosters creativity. Software products can often require an overwhelming amount of code for one individual or even a few individuals to write, especially if all that code needs to be original so that it does not infringe on another person’s copyright. This may not be a problem for large companies with armies of engineers. But this can be an insurmountable hurdle for individuals or smaller groups. Open source licensing enables developers not only by providing sets of code that can be appropriated towards their final vision, but it also enables others to actively contribute to or improve upon another developer’s product. A great metaphor for the effect of Open Source is Wikipedia.org. Wikipedia’s content is licensed under a Creative Commons license, which achieves the same goals as open source software licenses. Much like encyclopedia volumes, which are collections of articles that contribute to the whole set, software products may be seen as a collection of coded functions. Traditionally, each article of an encyclopedia is written by a small number of employees of the encyclopedia company. Then came Wikipedia. Any person can contribute to almost any article. The result became a go-to resource that cannot be matched in depth, breadth or currentness by any one publisher. Likewise, any of the information may be used freely by any reader as long as they comply with the Attribution and Share Alike...
