...An Intellectual False Dichotomy Hidden Intellectualism by Gerald Graff, addresses the educational issue in the problem of unlocking a student’s unique intellectual interest and abilities. He believes that the main issue in the approach of education is the false dichotomy between “street-smarts” and academic intelligence. It is demonstrated through his tonal writing, which is littered with criticism of the educational system, yet is fully supportive of education in terms of intellectual growth. Staying true to his stance, Graff constructs his hidden intellectual argument that sticks to an everyday, relatable tone associated with banter without compromising his ideas. Graff begins the text using familiar colloquial terms, such as “street-smart”...

...Case Study Analysis Property Issues Learning Team A Law/531 8/25/2014 Craige Harrison IRAC Issue: The issue brought before the Texas Court of Appeals is that the Tarhan’s bought property form the Mettlen’s and the Mettlens claimed that they retained the mineral intrests in the property. The Trahans believe that the interests were, or should have been, part of the transaction. The Trahans filed lawsuit in December of 2010 for the mineral intests more than 4 years later. The Mettlens filed a motion for summary judgment claiming that the lawsuit was time-barred by the applicable four year statute of limitation. The court found that the satute of limitations barred the Trahans lawsuit and judgment to the Mettlens. So the question is: is the four year limitation period applicable to the Trahans cause of action was tolled or otherwise rendered inapplicable by the facts and circumstances of the case and for how long. Rule: Discovery Rule for Fraudulent Concealment Analysis: The contract states that just after the description of the property the mineral, oil and gas and liquid that may be produced are products of the grantors. That there was no evidence of the Merrlens attempting to hinder the Trahans from reading the deed or that they attempted to hinder the Trahans Conclusion: It was found that the warranty deed conveying title to the Trahans contains a clear and unambiguous reservation of mineral rights. The discovery rule for fraudulent concealment tolls the running...

...Sony Pictures Entertainment Tightening Internet Security Gerilyn Yoder BIS/221 July 27, 2015 John Zupan Sony Pictures Entertainment Tightening Internet Security Sony Pictures Entertainment (SPE) is not a stranger to internet security issues. From an attack by hackers in 2002, to an attack in 2011 that affected the Sony Playstation gaming system, resulting in the release of client personal information, to the most recent and most severe attack in December 2014 where personal information was leaked about staff, clients, and upcoming projects. Though repairs to the Sony cooperation from the December 2014 attack are still in the works, my designated teammates and I decided to focus on the attack Sony experienced in 2002 due to an article that was discovered focusing on Jeff Uslan and his new “Man Hunt” software. Jeff Uslan is the director of information protection and security for SPE and in 2002 he incorporated a Network Intrusion Detection System (IDS) from Recourse Technologies titled “Man Hunt”. This software will help (Conry-Murray, 2002) “prevent loss of intellectual property, a possible public humiliating web site defacement, and network downtime that would affect film production, television shows, and video game production.” “Man Hunt” acts as a (Conry-Murray, 2002) “highly effective crystal ball that helps Uslan monitors a global network for intrusion attempts and internal misuse.” Sony Picture Entertainment security revolves around firewalls, anti-virus...

...CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Background of the Study Poetry is perpetually re-creating language. It helps understand the world by sharpening our own senses, by making us more sensitive to life. Poetry is thought that is felt. Aristotle says, “There is nothing in the intellect that is not first in the senses”. The poet uses figures of speech and creates images-imitations of life, words that evoke mental pictures and appeal to our senses. The essence of poetry is, according to the different types of minds, either quite worthless or of infinite importance (Herbert, 2000). Poetry may be described as rhythmic imaginative language expressing the invention, thought, imagination, taste, passion and insight of the human soul. Its purpose is “enthrallment”. William Wordsworth describes it as “the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings” taking its origin from “emotion recollected in tranquility”. For Edgar Allan Poe, poetry is “the rhythmical creation of beauty”. Poets, from their own store of felt, observed or imagined experiences, select, combine, and recognize. They create significant new experiences for the readers-significant because the focused and formed in which they may gain a greater awareness and understanding of the world. Poetry can be recognized only by the response made to it by a good reader, someone who has acquired some sensitivity to poetry. There is indeed an ideal reader or listener as well as an ideal poem; and it is useful to think about them all and to consider...

...Three IRAC Brief Case:DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc. v. Waxman. August 3, 2012. In the outlined case, DePuy is trying to sue one of their distributors Joint Venture for breach of a non-compete agreement. Under the non-compete covenant Joint Venture disclaim the rights to any of DePuy intangible assets, including intellectual property (IP), goodwill, and customer lists. DePuy claims that Joint Venture breached the non-compete agreement which caused a drop in sales and damaged their relationship with customers in the territories outlined within the agreement.Therefore, the legality of the contract enforced due to the breach of the non-compete agreement. According to Cheeseman 2013, “the section 2-201(1) statue of sales contracts of Uniform Commercial Code laws help prevent fraud like this case” (p. 171). To avoid this case by Depuy or any other companies’ managerial setting must specify agreements with language that is comprehensible by both parties in written valid contracts. Issue:Was there a breach to the contract, under that non-compete covenant between DePuy and Joint Venture? What kind of defenses do companies use to mitigate risk related to personal, real, or intellectual property (IP) issues? The main reason this case went to court is because of the breach of non-compete agreements by Joint Venture. DePuy outlined in the Amendment Agreementthat it had retained the sole right to enforce the non-compete covenants that Joint Venture had the right to enforce (Case). This means...

...sphere in which he works. This is because accountants can work in one of several fields, including working for the public, the government or major corporations. According to the IFAC, international federation of accountants, “the attitude and skills professional accountants require are grouped under five main headings: (a) Intellectual skills (b) Technical and functional skills (c) Personal skills (d) Interpersonal and communication skills and (e) Organizational and business management skills. Above all, an attitude of continual inquiry and life –long learning is essential. An attitude of accepting and seeking continual improvement, both of self and the profession will lead to life-long learning.” Intellectual skills enable a professional accountant to understand the determining forces in a given situation and to predict their effects. Other intellectual skills include the capacities for inquiry, abstract logical thinking, inductive and deductive reasoning and critical analysis. The ability to identify and solve unstructured problems in unfamiliar settings and to apply problem-solving skills in a consultative process is also an important intellectual skill to possess as an accountant. A professional accountant encompassing these traits will have the ability to solve problems, make decisions and exercise good judgment in complex organizational situations. Of course, an accountant must first and foremost be skilled with math. Technical and functional skills consist of...

...disabilities such as intellectual disabilities, autism, severe disabilities, and multiple disabilities. All disabilities are different. They have different cause and may have different effects on the students learning. Intellectual Disabilities Intellectual disability by definition is a disability characterized by significant limitations in both intellectual functioning and adaptive behavior, which covers many everyday social and practice skills. This disability originates before the age of 18 (aaid.org). Intelligence tests are given to gauge if a person has an intellectual disability. Another test used is adaptive behavior scales. Students are observed to see if they have the ability to act appropriately in social situations and if they have the ability to take care of their personal needs (i.e. hygiene). Using both tests, a person can be diagnosed with an intellectual disability, which can be described as mild, moderate, severe, or profound. Intellectual disabilities may occur for a number of reasons. Although the causes are not always known, there are a few known causes such as sociocultural influences, biomedical factors, behavioral factors and unknown prenatal influences (Hardman, Drew & Egan 2011). Students with intellectual disabilities usually read on a reading level that is lower than that of other students their age. However with direct instruction a student with mild Assignment #4 2 disabilities can progress well. Students with sever intellectual disabilities...

...point. Thomas Stearns Eliot was born in St. Louis in 1888 to a family with a prominent New England background. Eliot was educated at Harvard and joined many literary circles. The Nobel lectures wrote in Eliot's biography that he was influenced by French symbolists of the 19th-century. This influenced his later works as Eliot himself used symbolic literary references. This would brand Eliot as a modernist. This is why Eliot's works posses intellectual literary genius that is difficult to understand because of the symbolic language referenced (Nobel Lectures). Eliot is known in his writing to assume the mask of a narrator. He concealed much about himself while expressing certain philosophical ideas. Eliot's works possessed a particular intellectual style that often placed distance between the reader and the poet. To better understand Eliot one would need to examine external material. This is because many things in Eliot's writing had an obscured reference. In “The Waste Land” Eliot makes reference to places with which he had personal knowledge. Understanding his life and the places he lived would be the only method to better understand these references. In this particular example, Eliot is an American living in a banking district in London. Obscure references like these would create a gap between the reader and poet. Knowing that Eliot was living abroad might convey to the...
