...In Cold Blood: Two Intents, One Novel On November 15, 1959, the whole nation was shocked by a ghastly murder involving four family members in the discrete farm town of Holcomb, Kansas. It was most shocking because a crime of this magnitude with no motive was rare. This was so discomforting a well known author, by the name of Truman Capote, moved to Holcomb to record the townspeople’s reaction to the tragedy. The idea of how they responded to the crime gave Capote the idea to write a book. In Cold Blood was originally written to show how a small town is affected by a murder. But while Mr. Capote was writing the book they police caught the killers. This paved way to a second authorial intent. In Cold Blood start to shift to explain the idea of what makes a killer a killer. Truman Capote wrote In Cold Blood to show how a small town is affected by and responds to a murder and at the same time what makes a killer a killer. Capote started writing In Cold Blood with the intent of showing how a small town is affected by and responds to a terrible murder, and uses this setting to his advantage. The horrifying murders of the Clutter family occur in Holcomb, Kansas. This location is the definition of small town America where everyone thinks they can trust each other. In this part of the country, “[t]he land is flat, and the views are awesomely extensive; horses, herds of cattle, a white cluster of grain elevators rising gracefully as Greek temples are visible long before a traveler reaches...

...Introduction Pire Paolo Pasolini was renowned Italian artist who plied the domains of poetry, intellectualism and film and literature with some of his works spanning the High renaissance epoch. Pasolini was notably distinguishable as a journalist, linguist and philosopher among a host other art domains that he pursued in the long yet drastically ended course of his art career. Pasolini was also a newspaper and magazine columnist as well as painter and renowned political figure. Eloit Audrene (2004) notes that Pasolini illustrated a unique and uncommon cultural dynamism in his course towards turning into a highly controversial figure evident through a closer assessment of his works of art. Pasolini was marked by outright disdain for the Bourgeoisie culture and social system. His ideologies tended towards the conceptual tenets and thrust of communism. On the 26th of January 1947 the author wrote a contentious declaration published on the front page of newspaper entitled Liberta, "In our opinion, we think that currently only communism is able to provide a new culture". What heightened the controversy with regards to his political ideological inclinations is that whilst it was evident in his art works that he disdained Feudalism Pasolini was still not a member the Country’s Community Party (PCI) which embraced ideas akin to his. This was contrary to common expectations given his public denouncements of the Bourgeoisie and the entirety of the feudalist social and societal conventions...

...Top Six Data Breach Trends for 2014 April 28, 2014 Article Reference Griffin, Joel. "Top six data breach trends for 2014." SecurityInfoWatch.com. N.p., 10 Jan. 2014. Web. 29 Apr. 2014. Summary This class has been absolutely phenomenal. I have been in the tech industry for about 5-6 years now and just recently started developing iOS apps and websites about 1-2 years ago and am still new and learning each and every day, but I haven’t really ever enjoyed a class this much. I have been reading articles each week for these research papers that are required weekly and due to the requirement of breaking them down and performing a “dive deep” on them, I have really been able to relate what we are learning in school to actual life and real life situations. The article that I choose for this week is from Security Info Watch and it discusses the future of data breaches this year and things that we could encounter over the time frame of this year and next decade as technology continues to grow at the rate it is growing. It compare the big breach with Target and aligns it to other situations that are possibilities with the way we use our technology. One of the big theories that the article through out was that we are going to run into issues with all of this cloud computing and big data and that society is very vulnerable to a big data cloud breach. Apple has started the whole ball rolling with cloud computing storing all of your...

...The Company Profile: Part of the Bid Process A business presentation is part of the bid process. It comes after you perform a bid/no-bid analysis, and after the decision to send a letter of intent (LOI). Writing the company profile is part of the offer you submit to respond to the call for tender. The content of the offer (and the content of the company profile) usually depend on the call for tender and on the buyer's needs/requirements. The content of the offer is sometimes organized beforehand by the buyer. The buyer may give bidders an official document with all the required criteria and documents. Here are examples of possible criteria for the company profile: official criteria company name head office address company status quantitative criteria number of employees sales figures other financial figures qualitative criteria references success stories certifications Writing a bid and particularly a company profile requires preliminary work: Acquaint yourself with the documents. Try to analyze your business from a strategic point of view. Think about all the components and ask yourself if you're the right applicant. If the answer is "yes," you're ready! Why Write a Company Profile for a Bid? Writing a business profile for a bid is useful for introducing your company to the buyer and creating a positive impression. The buyer must know who you are, whether you're the company that best fits to its call for tenders, and if it can trust you. So...

...Identify the main threats to the security of people, property and premises in a chosen public service People, premises and property: There are many threats to people, premises and property. This distinguishes from accidentally induced threats where there is no deliberate malicious intent to induce damage Whilst all threats aim to cause damage to people, premises or property the type of damage varies. Therefore it is important to understand the objectives of the individual/individuals responsible for inducing the threat. Often this will be done through a terror campaign aimed at causing as much fear as possible. However whilst often indiscriminate there will likely be a particular target it is unlikely that an act terrorism is random, it is more likely strategic as part of a campaign. Therefore for many countries that are at threat from terrorism they have to take into account for many building the threat from terrorism. Therefore it is important to understand the possible objectives behind each threat as they often determine the nature of the threat and its scale Tactics and targets: There are a multitude of different tactics that can be employed to escalate or more precisely use a threat. The sort of threat it is also determines the tactics that will be used. Of course he target itself is determined by who is doing it and the objectives they have, a group anarchists and a group of environmentalist will not have the same target. Therefore all threats to people, premises...

...Lab 2 – CSEC630 1. When running Snort IDS why might there be no alerts? When using Snort IDS, there are several modes that if configured properly, will generate alerts. Alerts are set by the user within the command prompt when initiating a rule set. There are five alerting options available with Snort IDS. According to (Roesch, 1999), Alerts may either be sent to syslog, logged to an alert text file in two different formats, or sent as Win-Popup messages using the Samba smbclient program. If there has been no alerts, the selected rule set was set may not have been enabled by the user. Another scenario where alerts may not occur is when another task is being performed. According to (Roesch, 1999) when alerting is unnecessary or inappropriate, such as when network penetrations tests are being performed. 2. If we only went to a few web sites, why are there so many alerts? Snort IDS performs numerous functions that would generate an alert. Alerts are generated based on any suspicious network activity. Although a user may have only visited 5 sites, snort may have generated 12 or more alerts that were generated due to anomalies detected from the 5 sites visited. 3. What are the advantages of logging more information to the alerts file? The advantage of logging additional information within the alerts file is that it can provide additional information as to the origination or source of what caused the alert. If the administrator is better informed on the...

...350 – Inductive Bible Study Assignments for Week #6 Assignment 10-1: Explain the Difference Between Reader Response and Authorial Intent (p.202). (20 Points) Note, this assignment is worth 20 points and should reflect considerable thought and effort in your response. Make sure you include in your explanation definitions of the terms involved. What role do presuppositions play in interpreting the Bible? Who controls the meaning of a biblical text? What is the source of reader-response view? What are the two main interpretive questions involved in these two views of who determines meaning? Reader Response: Reader response is the result of when the reader overlooks or neglects to discover what the author is intending to communicate in a biblical verse or passage. This method is dangerous as the reader attempts to bend the Word to their particular situation or circumstance. The question for this method by the reader is, “What does this verse and or passage mean to me?” rather than asking, “What is it that God is trying to communicate to me?” Or, “What does God want to teach me from this?” Reader response must be avoided at all cost as it has the potential to lead someone astray and down the wrong path. Scripture in the practice of this method is quoted out of context and is not taught or quoted as the author intended. Authorial Intent: Authorial intent would be the proper way to study and interpret the Scriptures. This method, the reader will read the verse and or passage...

...a listener does it make a sound? Well, technically, it emanates vibrations, but only an ear will interpret those vibrations as sound. Thus with literature. The mind of the reader, operating on the text with it's various literary and extra-textual codes, makes it literature. In the case of Les Liaisons Dangereuses, reception theory is not only helpful, it is positively essential to any sort of literary discussion of the novel. Considerations of authorial intent are clearly to no avail, in that, due to the epistolary format, no such intent can be gleaned from the text. Try as we might to construct some sort of original meaning in the mind of the author, we find at last that the meanings we come up with have been supplied by ourselves. Laclos is like the hand of the puppeteer: we never see it, although we know that it is controlling the whole show. All we see are the ornate, 18th century marionettes as they dance through each dastardly deception, each "dangerous liaison." Even more maddening than trying to find authorial intent in the pages of Les Liaisons Dangereuses is the (one would think) comparatively simple task of ascertaining the moods and motivations of the characters themselves. Since we know that the majority of the characters are moderate to full-blown liars, writing one thing to one person and quite another to another, who do we believe? When seeming to bear one's soul is just one more weapon in the...

...shows that the language in the play fuels the theme of mass hysteria ripping apart the town. Elizabeth and John Proctor confessing their faults about their marriage to each other and how their hearts are ripped apart because of the hysteria throughout the town. The language that John and Elizabeth Proctor use expresses the theme even more. The language, whether gentle and kind or aggressive and dreadful, it helps convey the theme of hysteria can rip apart a town. The theme of The Crucible is displayed through the authorial intent of symbolism. Miller uses a poppet to symbolize voodoo and witchcraft. Voodoo because the girls were “controlled” by the plot for revenge and hatred. Next, this poppet conveys the theme of, hysteria can rip apart a town because it was stabbed with a needle and that’s what witchcraft did to this town. Witchcraft accusations came into the town and like the needle punctured the town and ruined a perfectly functioning society. The author’s intent of using the doll as symbolism expresses the theme even more along with the language usage. Lastly, the theme of mass hysteria can happen anywhere is extended through characterization in The Crucible. First, the author uses the character John Proctor, the hysteria tears apart John Proctor because he has to decide whether or not to confess to this fake accusation. This emotionally tears John Proctor apart like the hysteria did to the rest of the time. Next, the author also uses Abigail Williams- Abigail doesn’t fall...

...Let us begin with a discussion of Shakespeare’s artistic output during his lifetime. Strolling through any bookstore, it is not hard to see that Shakespeare’s plays are, in what we shall see is a modern idea of authorial ownership, attributed to him alone. While this is a nice fiction, and one that certainly contributes to the myth of Shakespeare-as-demigod, the truth of the matter is that Shakespeare’s works were often composed in collaboration with other playwrights. As Frank Kermode notes, playwrights in Shakespeare’s day “often worked in haste, and with collaborators—occasionally a different writer for each of the five different acts of a play” (5). This is perhaps unsurprising, as “theaters were owned mostly by men who formed companies…not wholly unlike…craft guilds,” and that these guild men “commissioned the plays, [and] owned them” (5 my italics)....

...Sorrowful Woman 1. FIRST RESPONSE. How did you respond to the excerpt from A SECRET SORROW and to “A Sorrowful Woman”? Do you like one more than the other? Is one of the women – Faye or Godwin’s unnamed wife – more likable than the other? Why do you think you respond the way you do to the characters and the stories – is your response intellectual, emotional, a result of authorial intent, a mix of these, or something else entirely? Both writings were very well written and very enjoyable to read. “The Sorrowful Woman” and A Secret Sorrow were similar, although they were very different, due to the inner sorrow they both faced. I enjoyed reading A Secret Sorrow more than “The Sorrowful Woman” due to the fact that I was able to somewhat feel what Godwin’s unnamed wife was feeling. I responded to the characters in an emotional way. I found myself able to sympathize with both Faye and Godwin’s unnamed wife. They both have very deep issues, but being a mother myself, makes me have more empathy for Faye. I could not imagine what it would be to want to push my child or husband, nor could I imagine not being able to have a child of my own. 2. Describe what you found appealing in each story. Can you point to passages in both that strike you as especially well written or interesting? Was there anything in either story that did not appeal to you? Why? In A Secret Sorrow, I found Kai’s love for Faye most appealing. He did not look at Faye’s inability to have children not as a burden...

...digital media forms such as video games and digital music files have complicated the traditional notion of authorship through their use of digital media technologies, which allows them to use digital media as an instrument of expression. Before delving into the intricacies surrounding this new form of authorship present in digital media it is first important to discuss the notion of authorship prior to the emergence of this digitally induced phenomenon. In non-digital mediums such as books, radio, and television, authorship exists as an individual endeavor, as authorship is only granted to the original author(s) of the media. As a consumer of this non-digital media the only point of contention as it relates to authorial expression is limited is the debate over authorial intent or narrative interpretation in these non-interactive cultural forms. Books, television, and radio are more or less consumed passively and the only means of authoring something from these forms of media is to create an entirely new piece of media that is related to the original. For example, a viewer of a television show or movie has the opportunity to create a satirical interpretation or write a review of the original. While this certainly may be construed as authorship, this version of authorship is of an entirely new...
