...General Zaroff Character Analysis In “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell, General Zaroff is shown as insane, cool, and as a savage. Zaroff is shown to be insane in the story when he says he got bored of killing animals so he kills humans.’’My dear fellow, there is one who can.’’ said the general. “But you can’t mean--” gasped Rainsford. “And why not?” asked the general (Connell 69). This quote shows that Zaroff is insane because during this part, he confesses he kills people for sport. During the story, Rainsford is also Cool because he lives on his own island with a mansion and a buttler. He shows that he is cool when his butler answers the door for Zaroff and then he comes down his stairs and introduces himself and Ivan. The...

...only to the Gaming Industry, a study by the Institute for Policy Innovation that dates back to 2007 had determined that the accumulative impact of millions of songs downloaded illegally amounts to an annual harm of around $12.5 billion dollars in losses to the U.S. economy as well as more than 70,000 lost jobs and $2 billion in lost wages to American workers (Siwek, 2007). The negative effect that piracy has in the gaming industry is a global effect. In 2011, the Arabian Anti-Piracy Alliance pointed to a recent report published by AM Mindpower Solutions, which disclosed that at least 73% of actual global revenue from video gaming is lost every year due to piracy with rates increasing while total revenues decrease (Butler, 2011).

...Kelsey Sherman English Composition I Bryan Buttler 21 March 2014 Academic Dishonesty: Online How many times in one’s life does the topic of academic dishonesty present itself? Most would say fairly a great amount. Ever since the beginning of their school careers students are taught to never cheat, copy, or use anyone else’s work as their own. This is a topic that is discussed through grade school, high school, and usually the beginning of each semester for every class one takes at college. However, committing acts of academic dishonesty in online courses is rising. Students have more resource accessibility, different mind frames, and less teacher interactions. These characteristics causes students consider cheating more often than in face-to-face classes. Online classes have become more of a trend for various people. Flexibility and accessibility from anywhere makes online courses easier for students to continue their careers. Even though it is great for people to continue their schooling in a stress-free fashion that does not conflict with their schedules, it creates more opportunities for students to cheat. In Miller and Young-Jones’ article, the reason online courses will never take over colleges according to Youngberg’s statement in the Chronicle of Higher Education is “it’s too easy to cheat.” (138) With today’s technology there are billions and billions of resources available to anyone with the click of a few keys. Students have access to all types of Internet...

...Original Question: What is the best way to manually count ballot papers in block vote (BV) systems? With first-past-the-post systems, one can easily pile the ballots for each candidate, and then tally the totals. Where there is more than one vote recorded on ballot papers, some kind of tallying system seems unavoidable. What techniques are used in counting block vote ballots elsewhere? Introduction “Vote counting is one of the most crucial stages in the election process. Failure to complete the count and transmit results in a quick, transparent and accurate manner can jeopardize public confidence in the elections and will directly affect whether candidates and political parties accept the final results.” (The ACE Encyclopedia) Block Voting (BV) belongs to the “family” of plurality / majority Electoral Systems (The other two big “families” being proportional, or mixed Electoral Systems) and is in fact a first-past-the-post (FPTP) system with the difference that it occurs in multi-member districts with voters having as many votes as there are positions to be filled. In a five-member constituency for example, the five candidates with the largest number of votes are elected, regardless of the actual percentage level of votes they receive. In BV systems, voters are usually free to vote for individual candidates regardless of party affiliation, but they are not entitled to cast the same vote more than once. Voters are also most often free to not use all the votes they are entitled...

...13 Agent-Oriented Novel Quantum Key Distribution Protocol for the Security in Wireless Network Xu Huang, Shirantha Wijesekera and Dharmendra Sharma University of Canberra Australia 1. Introduction Wireless security is becoming increasingly important as wireless applications and systems are widely adopted. Numerous organizations have already installed or are busy in installing “wireless local area networks” (WLANs). These networks, based on the IEEE 802.11 standard, are very easy to deploy and inexpensive. Wi-Fi allows LANs to be deployed without cabling for client devices, typically reducing the costs of network deployment and expansion. As of 2007 wireless network adapters are built into most modern laptops. The price of chipsets for Wi-Fi continues to drop, making it an economical networking option included in ever more devices. Wi-Fi has become widespread in corporate infrastructures, which also helps with the deployment of RFID technology that can piggyback on Wi-Fi. WiFi is a global set of standards, unlike mobile telephones, any standard Wi-Fi device will work anywhere in the world. Other important trends in wireless adoptions are including the introduction of wireless email with devices such as the Blackberry and The Palm VII, rampant digital cell phone use, including the use of short message service (SMWS), and the advent of Bluetooth devices. But the risks associated with the adoption of wireless networking are only now coming to light. A number of impressive attacks...

...Development Worldwide of the Emancipation Laws in the Nineteenth Century Nannette Porter HIWD – 370: Comparative Civilization Instructor Katie Stewart October 13, 2015 Slavery had been a part of civilization since villages, and small communities began to form. The topic of slavery is an important part of our heritage, knowing how it began and what humanity has done to control it. It is interesting to see how Christianity can change the heart of one person, who can affect the change in a country. One small adjustment, thousands of miles abroad, can affect any civilization and history of many countries. During the 19th century many countries developed laws to gradually or immediately shift civilization away from slavery. This paper explores the religious influences motivating this shift in the legal system as well as the consequences of these laws on work civilization. Slavery was found worldwide and came in many different forms. The most common was the Slave, treated as chattels and wild animals, having no rights and endured harsh physical abuse. The Slave was known more and referred to as the ‘Western Slave’ more commonly found in America. Serfdom, a Russian repression, was a different form of slavery. Serfs were not a legal person, had no property rights, no right to credit transactions and not protected by custom. However, a serf had his own land and property, unlike in slavery. Serfdom was found in China, Japan, India and elsewhere...

...Distributed Query Scheduling Service: An Architecture and Its Implementation Ling Liu and Calton Pu Oregon Graduate Institute Department of Computer Science & Engineering P.O.Box 91000 Portland Oregon 97291-1000 USA flingliu,caltong@cse.ogi.edu Kirill Richine University of Alberta Department of Computer Science GSB615, Edmonton T6G2H1 AB, Canada kirill@cs.ualberta.ca Abstract We present the systematic design and development of a distributed query scheduling service (DQS) in the context of DIOM, a distributed and interoperable query mediation system 26]. DQS consists of an extensible architecture for distributed query processing, a three-phase optimization algorithm for generating e cient query execution schedules, and a prototype implementation. Functionally, two important execution models of distributed queries, namely moving query to data or moving data to query, are supported and combined into a uni ed framework, allowing the data sources with limited search and ltering capabilities to be incorporated through wrappers into the distributed query scheduling process. Algorithmically, conventional optimization factors (such as join order) are considered separately from and re ned by distributed system factors (such as data distribution, execution location, heterogeneous host capabilities), allowing for stepwise re nement through three optimization phases: compilation, parallelization, site selection and execution. A subset of DQS algorithms has been...

...La Revolución Sexual lesbiana SHEILA JEFFREYS En los años 80 se produjo un repentino entusiasmo por la obra de los Maestros del postmodernismo -Lacan, Foucault y Derrida- seguido de su incorporación a la teoría feminista. Algunas críticas feministas han señalado que este hecho causó cierta despolitización del feminismo. En el campo de la teoría lesbiana y gay la obra de las grandes figuras masculinas del postmodernismo, así como la de otros teóricos inspirados por ellos, ha sido acogido con más entusiasmo aún. No debe sorprender que la llamada teoría lesbiana-y-gay, a saber, aquella que homogeneiza a lesbianas y varones gays, resulte tan atractiva a los ojos de estos últimos. Todo lo que remita de forma demasiado explícita al feminismo es contemplado con suspicacia. En el momento actual el proyecto de elaborar una teoría lesbiana independiente aparece como una empresa extravagantemente separatista. Las estrellas de la nueva teoría lesbiana-y-gay, Judith Butler y Diana Fuss, son ambas mujeres, aunque se dedican a reciclar un feminismo fundamentado en los Maestros postmodernos -en su mayoría gays- que no hiera la sensibilidad de los gays. No es una empresa fácil. ¿Cómo lograr, pongamos por ejemplo, que el fenómeno del travestismo se considere no ya aceptable sino revolucionario en la teoría lesbiana y gay, cuando ha sido un tema sumamente controvertido para la teoría feminista desde que las lesbianas se distanciaron del movimiento de liberación gay? Sólo se logra con un retorno...

...EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Employees are the most important determinant and leading factor that determine the success of an organization in a competitive environment. This is especially true for service organizations that rely heavily on their good behavioural employees to provide friendly and courteous services to their customers in this competitive environment. Job satisfaction refers to “a collection of attitudes that workers have about their jobs”. These attitudes may derive from a facet of satisfaction or as an overall aspect of the job; however, the focus of the study is on job satisfaction in the most general term. It is very important to study whether employees are satisfied, because it is intuitively believed that workers who are more satisfied will likely exhibit more positive feelings, thoughts, and actions toward their job. Similarly, studying about whether employees are committed to the organization that they work for is important. By definition, organizational commitment refers to “an attitude that reflects the strength of the linkage between an employee and an organization” The purpose of this study is to analyse the job satisfaction. The study was conducted on Uday Samudra Leisure Beach Hotel Kovalam. Employee’s productivity is largely related to their level of job satisfaction and in fact, the turnover rate can be reduced with a higher level of organizational commitment. Altogether, fifty employees were surveyed for the study. From the survey it is clear...

...CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY 1.1 Introduction Stripping widows of property is a huge social problem in Zimbabwe especially with the escalating death toll due to Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Customary laws have been unable to address the problem which suggests that extra- legal interventions might be necessary. Social work intervention is necessary to preserve the widow’s worth and dignity as a human being, which is the principal value of social work. A widow is a woman who has lost a husband by death and has not remarried, according to The South African Concise Oxford Dictionary. Property stripping refers to depriving someone of acquired or inherited movable or immovable possessions that rightfully and legally belong to that person (The South African Concise Oxford Dic tionary; Kuenyehia 2003). This study uses stripping and grabbing interchangeably as refer ring to the same act. Basing their studies in Ikot Idem in Nigeria, Okunmadewa, Aina, Ayoola, Mamman, Nweze, Odebiyi, Shedu and Zacha (2002:106) maintain: [W]omen’s wellbeing often deteriorates quickly after the loss of their husbands, when they suffer threats of both their physical security and property. A widow often loses her husband’s property to the in-laws in accordance with family traditional rules. This study proposes to explore the widows’ experiences of property inheritance in the Binga District, in the North West of Zimbabwe...

...Demography of Germany Concepts, Data, and Methods G. Rohwer U. P¨tter o Version 3 October 2003 Fakult¨t f¨r Sozialwissenschaft a u Ruhr-Universit¨t Bochum, GB 1 a 44780 Bochum goetz.rohwer@ruhr-uni-bochum.de ulrich.poetter@ruhr-uni-bochum.de Preface This text is an introduction to concepts and methods of demographic description and analysis. The substantial focus is on the demographic development of Germany, all data refer to this country. The main reason for this focus on a single country is that we want to show how the tools of demography can actually be used for the analysis of demographic problems. The text consists of two parts. Part I introduces the conceptual framework and explains basic statistical notions. This part also includes a short chapter that explains how we speak of “models” and why we do not make a sharp distinction between “describing” and “modeling” demographic processes. Then follows Part II that deals with data and methods. In the present version of the text, we almost exclusively discuss mortality and fertility data; migration is only mentioned in Chapter 6 and briefly considered in the context of a Leslie model at the end of the text. In addition to providing a general introduction to concepts of demography, the text also intends to show how to practically work with demographic data. We therefore extensively document all the data used and explain the statistical calculations in detail. In fact, most of these calculations are quite simple;...
