...This photograph is of Ed Mirvish in front of his store, Honest Ed's, on the corner of Bathurst and Bloor St. West in Toronto and was taken in 1983. The photograph was taken by Tibor Kolley for the Globe and Mail and was sourced on their website from the news article on the history of Honest Ed's. This image interested me because of Honest Ed's recent closure, as well as because I find it visually interesting as there is something going on in the fore, middle, and background of the image. Reading Reflection #1: Barthes’ concepts of Connotation & Dennotation This image relates to Barthes concept of the photographic message, specifically in relation to the “denotation” and “connotation” of the messages that can be read from press images. To summarize, Barthes describes that a press photograph has both a denoted message and a connoted message. Essentially, the denoted message is whatever is in the image (Barthes 17). In the case of my own chosen photograph, it is an older male in a suit standing in front of a street corner with a gathering of people around a building behind him. Secondly, press photographs also have a connoted message, which the public decides based on what they see and what they can interpret from the denoted image (17). For example, assuming that the man owns (what might be) a store behind him is a connoted message. Or that the people behind him are lined up for a big sale is also a connoted message; it is making inferences about the image based on already...

...Tabernacle and Temple Comparison The Tabernacle was a sanctified place where God chose to meet his people, the Israelites, during the 40 years they roamed in the desert under Moses’ guidance. The leaders and people came together to worship and offer sacrifices. The detailed layout of the Tabernacle and its courtyard is important because it shows God’s given way for man to approach Him. This setup informed the Israelites they could only come to God in the way he prescribed. The Tabernacle entailed a tent-like structure covered by rug-like layers for a roof, and an exterior courtyard. The Tabernacle was separated into the Holy Place and the Holy of Holies (The Tabernacle Place, 2006). It was made of acacia wood boards coated with gold and fitted together to form the walls. On top, four layers of curtains represented a roof to protect the Tabernacle from sun and rain, the innermost layer was knitted with good linen and embroidered with angel figures, the second layer was made of goat’s hair, the third layer was made of rams’ skins dyed red, and the outermost layer was made of porpoise skins (The Tabernacle Place, 2006). The curtains were held to the ground with loops and clasps. The Tabernacle was enclosed by a tall fence made of lined draperies (The Tabernacle Place, 2006). The whole compound was surrounded by a high fence with only one entrance. The gate was concealed by a curtain or screen made of finely twisted linen with the colors blue, purple and...

...defined as “an assembly” or “called-out ones.” The root meaning of “church” is not that of a building, but of people. It is ironic that when you ask people what church they attend, they usually identify a building. Romans 16:5 says “… greet the church that is in their house.” Paul refers to the church in their house—not a church building, but a body of believers. A church is a holy place where Christians attend to worship the Holy God above. Belize church association Admiral of the Caribbean TEMPLES: In Jesus time, a temple was a common place of worship. The Jews would also go to the temples to study. There is a story in the bible about Jesus turning over tables in the temple of Jerusalem. (Matt 21:12) the peoples were using the temple to deceive and make money.

...behind so many offerings. Others that the book describes are Priesthood and The Inauguration of the Tabernacle Service. One of the more interesting parts of the first part of this book was when it talks about the sin of Nadab and Abihu. Nadab and Abihu were two of the four sons of Aaron. Aaron and his sons were chosen to bring up the line of priests. It says in Leviticus chapter 10: “Now Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer, and put unholy fire before the Lord, such as He had not commanded them. And fire came forth from the presence of the Lord and devoured them, and they died before the Lord.” Nadab and Abihu disobeyed the Lord because He had not instructed them to bring fire into the Holy of Holies. They weren’t even allowed to go into the Holy of Holies; only the High Priest, who was Aaron, could do that and only on the Day of Atonement. While the actual sin that they did is not definitely known, some say that Nadab and Abihu were mocking the Lord and brought in incense from the neighboring cultures. At this time, Israelites were sinning because they did not listen to the Lord when He said not to mingle with the...

...SSO Trends and Security Concerns The constantly changing landscape of contemporary technology, presents many challenges. Of these challenges, maintaining the security and confidentiality many have come to expect has been the most important. The convenience and simplicity of single sign-on may offer many conveniences but it also presents many challenges. The former trend of users needing to have multiple usernames and passwords is obsolete with the implementation of technology from Microsoft .NET Passport and similarly the Liberty system for corporations. The security risks significantly vary with each trend. Although, the latest trend in single sign-on for the Internet may boast ease of use, it presents several significant security concerns for the protection of personal data. Internet users commonly browse multiple sites that may request personal information including but not limited to name, email address, username and password. Remembering and entering various credentials for every website visited can be very inconvenient for the user. A single sign-on system allowing a user to browse various websites using only one login is a convenient option compared to the alternatives that requires remembering multiple usernames and passwords. Single sign-on technology utilizes a single login at one particular site, to grant access to other sites. The single sign-on software collects all the users sign in credentials, which authenticates...

...money and fame. Madonna had very little musical background and no contacts when she arrived in New York. However, that did not stop her. Even with this lack of training she knew that she needed to meet more people and have more exposure to get ahead. She watched and listened to current trends in music and adjusted her career to the dance music industry that was becoming popular. Madonna was a great relationship builder and motivator. She used those skills to gain more exposure which eventually led to a very successful stint with Warner Records. Madonna also realized that she needed to expand beyond music; through movies, through children’s book publishing, through a distribution deal with Warner Records, and through a contract with Live Nation. She has always managed to stay just enough in the public eye without drawing too much attention, but was very aware that when needed she could turn it on and reinvent herself. She is a brand, and the quote by the London Telegraph says it best, “What doesn’t change and hopefully never will, is Ms. Ciccone’s hypercaffeineated zeal to make the world pay attention” (“Madonna mistress of metamorphosis,” 2008). As our book points out, strategy is about winning. Madonna has shown this through a continued understanding of what it takes to be a success. Madonna whether she realized it or not, was constantly performing SWOT throughout her career. She knew her strengths; developing relationships, understanding trends. She knew her...

...“Birch” DNS Server The Mail server will be using fedora as the OS. First step will be to install fedora on the server. After successful install there are 3 packages that need to be installed. The first package will be the bind package. Next will be the bind-utils and bind-chroot packages. After successful install of all packages we will start with adding files to the chroot directory that will be implemented for security. We will do this in anticipation if anyone hacks into the server they will be confined to that directory. To do this a copy of the named.config, named.rfc1912.zones, and the named.root.hints files will made in the /var/named/chroot/etc directory.Also copy the default zone files from/user/share/doc/bind/sample/var/named into var/named/chroot/var/named directory. In the /etc/named.config file we need to add the DNS server Birch.company.com with the ip address 206.207.208.12, mail server Cedar.company.com 206.207.208.11, and web server Aspen.company.com 206.207.208.10 to the list of servers to be added to the DMZ zone.. In the /etc/resolve.config file we need to point the DNS server to quiry the ISP DNS 82.83.84.85 for unknown names or domains. This setup will allow clients on the Corp. side to query the DMZ DNS which will in turn query the ISP DNS for any name resolution and protect the internal network from being compromised. In addition to the using chroot we will also implement SELinux as addition security. To ensure DNS will run automatically at system boot...

...using households in the US, which found that although the number of “television households” has only risen by 1.6%,the number of game consoles in those households has risen by 18.5% in the same period of time. Moreover by the end of 2006 there were 45 million homes with the console and 148 million people had access to at least one system. The use of connected consoles-consoles that connect to the internet has grown steadily over the years to 4 million even before the introduction of PlayStation 3 and Wii in late 2006.Systems such as PlayStation 2, XBOX and XBOX 360 appear to have made connected consoles commonplace in the home and online gaming services are becoming more popular than ever, as evidenced by the success of Microsoft’s Xbox live service. In addition to this, consoles come with great benefits which include their easy setup, there are little or no sound adjustment.

...Blockbuster vs. Netflix Introduction Blockbuster opened in 1985 and in its “first 20 years of business, the movie rental giant opened 9.100 stores in 25 countries” (Laudon, 2007, p. 121). Netflix launched in 1998 using a new business model and became Blockbusters biggest threat. The paradigm shift in the rental industry from having to travel to a store and rent a movie to being able to have a movie delivered to your mailbox changed the way people think about media entertainment. The next shift will be having the technology to download movies and shows directly to a television. Analysis Blockbuster and Netflix are using two different information system strategies. Blockbuster, which is a traditional retail store with a physical location focused on creating a market niche. It used “an automated point-of-sale system” and was able to use “these data to monitor sales and to analyze the demographics, and rental and sales patterns for each store to improve its marketing decisions” (Laudon, 2007, p. 121). Netflix came onto the scene with a completely different strategy, product differentiation. Emphasizing convenience, they created a system to allow consumers to order movies sent to their customers homes and returned on the individual’s time schedule. Netflix was able to use mass customization and give consumers an individually tailored service without increasing the needed resources. Using the Business Value Chain Model, Netflix has used information technology on almost...

...Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) DSR was first introduced and described by David B. Johnson, David A. Maltz and Josh Broch in 1994. The protocol is specifically designed for use in multi-hop wireless ad hoc networks. The protocol does not require any existing network infrastructure or administration and is completely self-organizing and self-configuring. The protocol basically consists of the two mechanisms: Route Discovery and Route Maintenance, where the Route Discovery mechanism handles establishment of routes and the Route Maintenance mechanism keeps route information updated. Assumptions Some assumptions concerning the behavior of the nodes that participate in the ad hoc network are made. The most important assumptions are the following: A1. All nodes that participate in the network are willing to participate fully in the protocols of the network. A2. The diameter of an ad hoc network is the minimum number of hops necessary for a packet to reach from any node located at one extreme edge of the ad hoc network to another node located at the opposite extreme. We assume that this diameter will often be small (e.g., perhaps 5 or 10 hops), but it may often be greater than 1. A3. Nodes can detect the error through a standard link-layer checksum or Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC), and discard corrupted packages . A4. The speed at which nodes move is moderate with respect to packet transmission latency and wireless transmission range of the particular underlying network hardware...

...cannot be real, I must be imagining this. I am in my car, caught in a rain storm. Rain so heavy every drop sounding like a million midgets marching on my hood. After a long day of work where I had been trapped inside a cold call center, which from a ceiling view probably looked like a mouse maze. I had been sitting inside a teeny tiny cubicle repeating the same phrase at least one hundred times that day, “Thank you for calling the Department of Business and Professional Regulations, this is Brandi, how may I help you.” I was so happy to finally be off after an agonizing ten hour shift. I had the music blasting and in between songs I hear it, a concert promoter’s voice blaring through my speakers, voice as loud as a morning alarm, “Usher, live in concert July 31st at American Airlines Arena. Thank God I was stopped at a red light; if not I might have run off the road. I reached for my cell phone, completely in shock, dialed my best friend’s number. As soon as she picked up the phone she yelled, “I know”, just two words, we both screamed! I told my friend that I was driving home and I would call her back in twenty minutes. Before I could get in the door my phone rang, it was her. We talked for hours about the concert and everything that needed to be done before the date of the show. Starring at my bedroom calendar I noticed I had only two months to prepare. I booked my ticket online, made an appointment with the best hairdresser in town, and scouted many outfits in my head, it...

...The short video entitle “Kambas ng Lipunan” made me realize the true face of society and the reality we live in. I have so many questions I ask myself like “What is my purpose in life? Am I on the right path? Have I done anything to help those in need?” but until now I still don’t have the answers. The maker of the short video, Joey Velasco, shared his talent and tried to make a difference in the society through his paintings Most of us would just watch and do nothing, but one man stood up and made an impact. It really is an eye-opener for the viewers to cherish and be thankful on the blessing that we receive. While I am spending money for such nonsense things, others are dying of hunger. I was a man who did not think of the value of money for others nor have I thought how hard it was to earn it, and it was proven true when I saw the clip. They are obliged to work for them to live, instead of them going to school and have a proper education for a brighter future. I don’t know how these children handle all the pressure and burden of being a breadwinner at such a young age. But as I watched the video, I can still the smile on their faces as if they don’t have problems or that they can face any obstacle they experience. It just shows that these children still haven’t lose hope of making their lives better. I have felt this extra ordinary kind of guilt within me. I can’t explain that feeling, it seems that I am very useless for I can’t do anything to those who are less fortunate...

Dr armenio maia n.º 212º esq 3680-115 Oliveira de Frades/ Portugal Student nr: 70662912 Exam nr 50046800 Email: Claudia.soeiro1@gmail.com The song I'm choosing is full of poetry and it has a deep meaning like clear water and I guess we all feel it once in life at least. In this thesis I would like to approach the meaning the song as for me and the difference between 1993 until 1999. Also leave an important message to you that you can read during this prewriting. In 1993 singers were artists and some ugly in 1999 singers are all models that sing. In 1993 I was 15 years old. I was a teenager in the down of my adult life and when I listen to this song on the radio I always wondered what that emotion so private that they sang was. Private Emotion: The song is from the Hooters and the lyrics are as follows: Every endless night has a dawning day Every darkest sky has a shining ray And it shines on you, baby, can't you see You're the only one who can shine for me It's a private emotion That fills you tonight And a silence falls between us As the shadows steal the light and wherever you may find it Wherever it may lead Let your private emotion come to me Come to me, come to me, come to me When your soul is tired and your heart is weak Do you think of love as a one way street? Well, it runs both ways, open up your eyes Can't you see me here, how can you deny It's a private emotion That fills you tonight And a silence falls between us As the shadows...
