...Balancing between national security and individual privacy is seemingly a daunting task that does not promise an amicable solution in the near future. There are so many controversies surrounding this issue where people with opposing opinions are striving to ensure that their views dominate. The question about which between the two should be prioritized is not relevant compared to the effects either of the alternatives will have in the lives of citizens. The issue is complicated further by the sensitive nature of both national security and individual privacy. There is a close association between the two, thus making it hard for policy makers to alter either of them without touching the other. However, it is a fact that as much as many people want to have full right to individual privacy, they will also be keen to ensure that their security is guaranteed. In other words, the two must be provided without necessarily causing collusion between the two. National security is prioritized compared to individual privacy given the fact that people universally value national security. Legal status of the Individual Privacy vs. National Security issue Controversies surrounding national security and individual privacy came at the limelight after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States. However, this issue has been in existence for a longer time although it has had minimal effect on individual privacy. This paper will focus on recent events since little was heard...

...I would be an Anti-Federalist, due to the fact that they didn't despise federalism, they just wanted to make improvements. They worked to put more power into the states hands. Just as Anti-Federalist believe, I agree with the constitution but the bill of rights that was later added on was essential. The bill of rights is a huge essence in our personal rights that we have day in and day out. I don't know what our country would be like without these rights in place. Federalists were people who believed that the constitution was perfect as it was. They also pushed to get it ratified immediately. Federalists were also in support of a strong centralized government. "A pure democracy can admit no cure for the mischiefs of faction. A common passion or interest will be felt by a majority, and there is nothing to check the inducements to sacrifice the weaker party. Hence it is, that democracies have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have, in general, been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths." During this time on conflict, two plans were brought into the picture to resolve the issue. The Virginia Plan and the New Jersey Plan. Federalists from large states were in favor of the Virginia Plan, because it would give power to the larger states. “We may define a republic to be, or at least may bestow that name on, a government which derives all its powers directly or indirectly from the great body of the...

...LaTerrol Valentine October 30, 2012 University Success Founders Day Founder’s day was a wonderful week at Jackson state this week. I learned a lot this week at Jackson state from all of our previous presidents about the fantastic sonic boom, and more. I learned that back in the day the university was just called Jackson it wasn’t called Jackson state until a couple years later. I’m glad that Jackson state gives us a whole week to inform us about our institution. To see all the magnificent people come back who use to attend here back in the day make me so happy. It made me realizes how much they cared and still do care about Jackson state to come and talk to the former students here. I love my dear old college I wouldn’t want to attend another college if I had the chance to. Rather the students know it or not Jackson state has so much history behind it. It’s not what people make it seem, some people make it seem like it is a partying school and the students never get anything done here. That is not true at all the professors go all out of their way to help us so we can live a better future. Listening to the old jacksonians made me appreciate my education some of them was here doing the shooting at alexander dorm on May 14-15, 1970 when the two men were killed, and some was here when a Gibbs-Green plaza didn’t even exist. Most universities do not have a day where they just recognized founder’s day because they think it’s not important at all. They also informed us when Smith...

...D, Equiano specifically refers to the slave traders’ “improvident avarice” Puritan Plain Style writing: “I prize thy love more than whole mines of gold” contains short words and a direct speaking style. Instead of a Sermon… The sermon would seem to be the most effective way to present this speech, because, since Edwards was a preacher, his congregants had to respectfully listen to him while he was in his pulpit. Also, a sermon allows the speaker to create a tone or use gestures. Compare the treatment Equiano receives… Equiano is treated very harsh in Africa but when he was taken away by the widow’s family, he was treated with respect and as a member of the family. When he’s on the ship, he is treated in a very inhumane way. He’s treated as an animal and not as a human being. Slave Narratives were valuable tools… Equiano's narrative would have been very helpful in the fight to abolish slavery. It would be very helpful for the people who were working to abolish slavery because they would show the harsh conditions the slaves were in. The beatings, starvation, and disease were the major harsh conditions they were in. C, To make the general public.. C, because answers a, b, and d are not supported by the text.

This means the system is lighter and thus needs less power to do the same work, and, as a result, less fuel. However, disadvantages of hybrids include: (a) Lower Power Output Hybrids are usually designed for fuel economy, not power and thus they tend to produce less power than their full fuel counter parts. (b) High Maintenance Costs The complexity of hybrids mean they cost more to maintain. 2. Fully Electric cars are powered exclusively by electric motors. They usually have batteries, where electricity is stored, or collect electricity from an external source. Advantages of these engines include: 8 (a) No Emission Because fully electric engines do not burn anything, there are no emission, and regulation to worry about. (b) Low Operating Costs Electricity is reasonably cheap in most parts of the world, and, as a result, it is cheaper to run electric engines; and, in a situation where there is access to renewable energy, e.g. wind, solar, there could be no operating costs. There are some disadvantage to this technology, a few include: (a) Long recharging times Battery operated electric engines take much longer, anywhere from 20 minutes to a few hours, to recharge, than standard engines, which can be re lled in a few minutes. Also, because recharging requires special equipment, getting stranded is a bit more likely. (b) Limited...

...任何公司都应该送给客户，特别是银行、保险、电信、汽车、房地产 任何亲朋都应该送给好友，只要你真心喜欢他/她，关心他/她 任何国家都应该送给百姓，因为藏富于民，才能繁荣昌盛 I Believe……有什么比“我相信……”更重要呢？ 【作者简介】 乔治·寒缪尔·克拉森，1874年11月7日出生于美国密苏里洲的路易斯安娜市，他曾进入内布拉斯加州立大学就读，当美西战争爆发期间，他在美军服役。后来他在科罗拉多州的丹佛创立了克拉森地图公司，从而开始了长期的出版生涯，并出版了美国及加拿大第一本公路图册。1926年，他出版了一系列以古巴比伦为背景，用寓言体方式讲述了关于节俭和成功理财的小册子来解释他的每一个观点。这些小册子在银行业及保险业发行量极大，并很快成为数百万人耳熟能详的著作。后来这些小册子被集结在《巴比伦富翁的理财课》一书中出版面世，这本永恒不巧的作品已经影响了万千上万人的生活，而这些“巴比伦寓言”也因此成为了一本现代成功励志的经典名著。 【内容提要】 不计其数的读者已经从这些著名的“巴比伦寓言”中获得了帮助。在所有以节俭、理财计划和个人财富为主题的励志著作中，它被公认为最伟大的一本书。 它的语言就和我们阅读圣经时一样简洁明了，这些奇妙迷人的和富含信息的故事，使你在喜悦相伴的同时将带向一条通往繁荣富足的确认之路。作为广为称颂的现代经典之作，这本著名的畅销书为你的个人理财问题提供了理解和解决方案，将引领你穿越整个人生。 这本书揭示了如何获得金钱，保存金钱以及用金钱赚取更多金钱的全部秘密。 《巴比伦富翁的理财课》 巴比伦富翁的理财课 作者：克拉森 前言 大约12年前，伯父从美国回来时送给了我这本英文书，并一本正经地嘱我Read it over and over（翻来覆去地反复读），还唾沫四溅地大声号称会Change my life（改变我的人生）。看着他红脖子涨脸，又碍于情面，便装模作样地保证遵命。私底下草草地翻阅了不到一半，才第一次明白了什么叫做大失所望。于是，果断而明智地盖棺定论：死板老调，滑稽可笑！因为我当时研究生刚毕业两年，正踌躇满志，还稍微有点儿春风得意，如此这般的一本“小儿科”，与我的雄心大略相比，简直是笑死人了。 中文版序 英文版序 关于本书的赞誉(1) 关于本书的赞誉(2) 第一部分 来自诺丁汉大学的两封信 今天的人们如果能够穿越时空隧道，去追溯人类最为遥远的文明，那么令人叹为观止的“巴比伦（Babylon）王国”就会赫然跃入你的眼帘，给人无穷的悸羡和遐想……历史上的巴比伦的确是一座令人神往的古城，它位于幼发拉底河（Euphrate）和底格里斯河(Tigris)的交汇处。早在公元前1890年左右，阿摩利人就以巴比伦为都城，建立了古巴比伦王国。在古巴比伦最出色的国王汉谟拉比（Hammurabi）死后，巴比伦不断受到外族的进攻，历经了500多年的战乱，直到公元前7世纪末，才在尼布甲尼撒(Nebuchadnezzar)的领导下，建立了新巴比伦王国。 第1节 发现巴比伦的繁荣与荣耀 第2节 第一封信(1) 第3节 第一封信(2) 第4节 第二封信 第二部分 奴隶和自由人的灵魂 当一个人越饿的时候，他的神志也许就越清醒，也就越容易嗅出食物的味道。阿祖尔（Azure）的儿子塔卡德现在肯定就这么认为。因为他已经整整两天没有吃什么东西了，只吃了两颗从别人花园里偷偷摘下来的小无花果。他还来不及再多摘一颗，就被气急败坏冲...

...Using the SQ3R Study Method A. Kent Van Cleave, Jr., Ph.D. Why use a study method? Perhaps you have noticed recently that everyone, especially in the news media, is talking about something called the information revolution. This term refers to some profound changes that have affected most aspects of our lives and that have been caused by computers. In the workplace, information technology has caused many work organizations to completely restructure themselves. Electronic data interchange has helped companies closely link themselves with their customers and their suppliers. Computers have made mass production obsolete by giving manufacturers the ability to customize the product exactly the way the individual customer wants it. (Look for the big auto manufacturers to have Websites soon where you choose nearly every feature on your car, apply for a loan to buy it, and then specify where it will be delivered, all without having to go to the showroom.) Computers have also automated many jobs, including those of many middle managers. The result of this has been fewer levels of management in large organizations and higher productivity in the production facility. For most products, the cost of the goods on store shelves has dropped dramatically over the last ten years. But this explosion of information technology has its challenges in the workplace, too. Because of it the pace of change has increased. Work organizations find that they must continually adapt as technology progresses...

...How to write a Literature Review: Step 1: Read a lot. Sounds simplistic, but the fact is that you do have to read a lot, and read with care and purpose. There are things that you can do within the process to make your life easier, and the purpose of this short document is to point some of them out. Hopefully, this will help. However, there is no substitute for good, thorough, and hard work. When you start your reading, start broadly. If you have an area you are interested in, such as computers in education, multi-media, distance education, web-based instruction, or some other specific concentration, start your reading in those areas. Course assigned reading will help, but you will have to branch outwards and inwards. Don’t be afraid to follow an area that seems not to be related to your area. You are trying to define your interests. Allow yourself the freedom to do that. Here are some tips on how you might branch out, and/or focus in: A. Look carefully at the references. Should the author raise a salient point that interests you and they happen to cite somebody, look up the citation and read the original source. The original source will have its own references, follow these. Repeat as necessary. B. Read from tangentially related fields. Don’t be afraid to look outside of the literature in IT to other areas. Educational Psychology, Human Resources, Computer Science, and Communications Studies are but a few of the related fields with important information...

...3-12 Reading Strategies 3-12 Reading Strategies __________________________________________________________________________________ VIRGINIA P. ROJAS Language Education Consultant (732) 940-1860 VPRojas@aol.com 3-12 Reading Strategies Anticipation Guides (Barton & Heidema, 2000) - Anticipation guides have two columns labeled ‘me’ and ‘text.’ Before reading the text, students place a check next to any statement with which they agree. After reading the text, students compare their opinions with information contained in the text. Examples: An example for a math anticipation guide on statistics might look like the following: Me ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ Text ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ 1. There are several kinds of averages for a set of data. 2. The mode is the middle number in a set of data. 3. Range tells how far apart numbers in a data set can be. 4. Outliers are always ignored. 5. Averages are always given as percentages. An example for a science anticipation guide on matter might look like the following: Me ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ Text ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Matter is made up of elements. An element is made up of many different atoms. An element is the same thing as a compound. Most compounds are made up of molecules. Elements are represented by chemical symbols. Check Those Facts!

...may like it or not. 3. Fake Review – As I was looking for reviews on the book I’m reading for the critical review project, I Don’t Have a Thing to Wear: The Psychology of Your Closet, I found a title of a review that struck me as odd and the review itself was a bit over the top which to me comes off as fake. It was rated five stars and the review appears to be written by a girl’s boyfriend stating that “she can’t put it down” and “she just raves about it constantly” (Bouton, 2003). The one part that really puts me off about this review is that he says “and I wish I had a nickel for each time I've heard a woman shout out the title of this book” (Bouton, 2003). This is one review I would definitely ignore if I had been deciding whether to read the book or not. 4.

...Hero Quotation Analysis Pi Patel’s love for religion is strange but at the same time commendable. My personal views on religion are neutral in the sense that it doesn’t bother me as long as it’s not affecting me. Others can believe whatever it is that they need to believe, as long as they don’t harm anyone and are not forceful towards others with their beliefs. In the quote I chose from part one of Life of Pi, Pi talks about the lack of freedoms religion seems to have: “I know zoos are no longer in people's good graces. Religion faces the same problem. Certain illusions about freedom plague them both.” (Martel 14). I’ve always seen religion exactly like that, freedomless and restricting of its believers. I came to this by observing the difference between the people in my life who have a strong connection to go compared to those who don’t. At only a few months old I was baptised. My parents themselves are not very religious, both growing up in catholic families and going to catholic schools they chose to leave religion behind them with school. My grandparents on the other hand and devout Catholics, mother’s mother lives for the church, lives for God and lives for the Bible. Being baptised wasn’t something that bothered me until I became old enough to know what it meant. At church, I was accepted but I was unable to do the things everyone else around me was doing because I hadn’t had my first communion. That rule made me uncomfortable, it sparked my dislike for church. Over...
