...In Hiding The identity plays a big part for each person, and many people are not sure about their identity. Who are they? Why do people like me? Where should I fit in? These questions are big questions that many are reflecting over. In the short story “In Hiding” by Joyce Carol Oates, we are introduced to a single mother with identity problems and low self-esteem, this make her life hard and therefore she is trying to hide from it. A divorced lonely mother, who is working as a poet, translator, and a college teacher, is the main character in the story. Suddenly she receives poetry from a black prisoner named Woodson Johnston, Jr. He is an inmate from Kansas State Penitentiary for Men in Fulham, Kansas where he is sentenced to life. The lonely mother has never met Woody, which is his nickname, and has no relations to him. The reason why Woody is starting to mail to her is because he wants to become a poet, and therefore he hopes that she can help him. The relationship is neither tied up with romantic- nor sexual emotions. Later on the relationship between them is developing and there are indications of she starts to feel something for Woody. “She ceased answering his letters. He continued writing to her, but at increasing intervals. (Had he found another correspondent?” (P.3, l. 103-105”) Her thoughts about Woody have changed and something deeper than just poetry is going on now. She is very confused about many things in her life. The hidden relationship is one of them...

...Being killed for your religion, hiding in the sewers, is all something none of us would want to do. sadly if you were Jewish and lived in the ghetto you would be dead or arrested. Kristina and Pavel both tried to survive the Nazis, all they wanted was some freedom. In 1943-1990 Kristina went down to the sewers with 20 other people and Pavel had stayed and hid in the ghetto for 7 weeks and then died from the Nazis and Kristina lived, she spent 14 months in the sewers, she made it out and lived but eleven people came back out the rest have died the sewer workers brought them food and other needs to live. But why were they hiding because the Nazis wanted to arrest or kill them. I guess you could say they wanted them to expire. There are some...

Road, Kolkata-700009, India Avishek Raychoudhury Dept. of Computer Sc. & Engg, University of Calcutta 92 A.P.C. Road, Kolkata-700009, India ABSTRACT Technique for hiding the data of images has been proposed in this paper. At the source, hidden (target image) is encoded within another image (cover image). Firstly, the cover image and the target image can be adjusted by resize function. Secondly, only the final encrypted image i.e. cover image and target image is sent over the network. This image is finally decoded at the receiver end. Received results are encouraging from practical point of view. keys, the relative entropy between encrypt and one specific decrypt key Yusuk Lim, Changsheng Xu and David Dagan Feng, 2001, developed the web based authentication system. In case of watermark embedding system, it is installed in the server as application software that any authorized user, who has access to server, can generate watermarked image. The distribution can use any kind of network transmission such as FTP, email etc. Once image is distributed to externally, client can access to authentication web page to get verification of...

...an Object-oriented Programming Language. Among the most important we have User, which would identify a user inside the system with its role and some other attributes. Person, which would have all information related to a person and would be related to User. In the system a User is own by a Person. Then we would have Animal and Vaccine too, with all related information applicable. We could have other objects such as Adoption Form, Cage (the cage where the animal stays in) and Treatment but in any case, the object-oriented approach will help achieve the desired levels of encapsulation and data hiding. “The term encapsulation means to package data members and methods into a single programming unit (in our case, a class or an object created of that class) with a well-defined external boundary, or interface. Encapsulation is most often achieved through data hiding, which is the process of hiding all the facts, or secrets, of a class that do not contribute directly to others’ ability to use it” (Bohl & Rynn, 2008). Array structure selection The array structure selected is for one of the steps of creating or adding a new animal into the system, in the past week’s assignment we stated that at this step the user will be prompt to input all...

...Polygon 4: Given: Depth=4; vertex1=(2,0); vertex2=(2,3); vertex3=(5,3); vertex4=(5,0) This polygon is drawn hiding some portion of the red and purple polygons, but is itself obscured by the yellow polygon. Painter’s Algorithm Painter’s algorithm is also called as depth sorting algorithm in which first the surfaces are sorted according to their depth values in the decreasing order and then we start the scan conversion with the surface having greater depth. Just like a painter paints the most far-off objects first and then paints the closer objects and foreground objects are painted over the background objects on the drawing canvas and rest of the objects which are of least interest are painted separately, similar approach is used in this algorithm. Figure 10.5 illustrates this approach of painter’s algorithm. To describe Painter’s Algorithm, we use...

...Modularization, Commodization Modularity Definition: Modularity is a very general set of principles for managing complexity. By breaking up acomplex system into discrete pieces—which can then communicate with one another onlythrough standardized interfaces within a standardized architecture (Langlois, 2000) * Modularity is based on a systems theory view of organizations and their processes. It seeks to investigate how a system’s components are ‘coupled’ together and how tight these bonds are. * Modularity is important today because of the increased complexity of modern technology. * The driving normative basis for the investigation is that increased modularity enables the parts of a system to be separated and combined with much greater flexibility, and that such flexibility is desirable. * What is new is the application of the idea of modularity not only to technological design but also to organizational design. * A complex modern society might be made more productive through a modular design of social and economic institutions. * In a world of change, modularity is generally worth the costs. The goal is to find the modularization that minimizes interdependencies and most cleanly decomposes the system. * Innovation that takes place through change in the modules we can call modular innovation. * Handling complex systems become easier if break them up into sub-systems. * Complex product or process composed of smaller sub-systems that can be...

...Hiding a Disability Craig Kendzie ETH/316 January 14, 2014 Tammy Matthews Hiding a Disability Many people did not know that our former President Franklin D Roosevelt was paralyzed from the waist down. They believed if the public was aware of this that they would not have voted for him due to this shortcoming. He would wear very long pants and his braces were painted black to help disguise his disability. He would also address the public while seated in his automobile. President Roosevelt physical impairment in no way affected his performance in representing this county. It is a shame that society is judgmental and narrow when it deals with the disabled. Watching this short film opens your eyes on how we may or may not be The issues of this film are important because they address things that are still around today. They may have improved but, deep down people still have these beliefs and thoughts. There are laws and policies put into place to protect the disabled from being discriminated against. First of all that politics are deceitful. It may have worked to the advantage of the handicapped president, but it was not fair to himself or the public. This has no bearing on how he performed his duties however, it goes to show that trickery has been around for a long time. Another issue this film has shown that having a physical disability can cause prejudice and you may not be afforded the same opportunities as others. The role in external societal pressures have in influencing...

...Analysis on "The Hiding Place" Trying to forgive your enemy is like trying to see in the dark, it is nearly impossible. In Corrie Ten Boom's book, The Hiding Place, forgiving her enemies was hard, but her faith in God made it possible. At the very beginning of the book, Corrie Ten Boom introduces the theme of faith by telling about her family and their strong Christian beliefs. She tells about her father, Casper. She explains that he would read the Bible and pray with Corrie and her family twice a day. Corrie's father also loved and respected the Jewish. Along with her father, the author mentions Betsie, her sister. Betsie took care of their home in Haarlem, Holland. In 1940, the Nazis invaded Holland, and World War II began. Due to the Ten Boom's strong Christian beliefs, they felt obligated to help their Jewish friends in every way possible. Their home soon became the center for a major anti-Nazi operation. In order to help her friends, Corrie had to do some sinful things like lie and bribe. Corrie sacrificed her own safety.nd part of her bedroom that became a secret room that was a hiding place for the Jews to have constant safety. The author later tells us that her entire family gets arrested by the Nazis, but the hidden Jews remained safe. Corrie and Betsie were sent to various concentration camps where the conditions were cruel. In every camp, the sisters used a hidden Bible to spread the word of God. Corrie was amazed by Betsie's faith through the ungodly...

...Information Hiding – Steganography Steganography Types and Techniques Abstract— Information hiding has been one of the most crucial element of information technology in recent years. Unlike Cryptography, Steganography does not only keep the content of information secret, its also keeps the existence of the information secret. This is achieved by hiding information behind another information. This paper gives an overview of Steganography and its techniques, types, and also its advantages and disadvantages. Keywords-component; steganography; information hiding; security; confidentiality; techniques. INTRODUCTION Steganography help hides the fact that communication is taking place by hiding some information behind another information thereby making the communication invisible. The origin of the word “steganography” is from the Greek words “steganos” and “graphia” which is interpreted as “covered” and “writing” respectively thereby defining steganography as “covered writing”. Steganography and cryptography are both part of information hiding but neither alone is without flaws. The goal of steganography is defeated once the hidden message is found or noticed even while still in the original message (carrier). For safely transmission of hidden messages or information in steganography, multimedia files like audio, video and images are mostly used has the carrier or cover source. METHODOLOGY The Methodology used for this paper is based on the...

...There are times when it is acceptable, in the face of evil, to break God’s laws. When you are trying to protect others from people that might be after them. When you or someone else is in danger or being threatened. Make sure when you do this that it doesn't become a habit and that you do it only if you absolutely have to. It’s sometimes allowed to break God’s laws in order to protect one or more people. Let’s say that someone came to your house and was looking for a loved one that committed a crime. Now there are many verses in the Bible that says that God hates a lying tongue and that it is wrong. In order to protect a loved one would you lie and say that he/she is not here. In The Hiding Place Corrie says “And it isn't logical to say the truth and do a lie!” (Ten Boom 91) By saying this Corrie says that saying and doing a lie is the same thing. Stealing ration cards is doing a lie and saying “We have no Jews here” is a...

...The strain of living in hiding is changing the characters. For example, when Dussel first joins the Franks and Van Daans he is very thankful and sweet to the families. He tells the families about what is happening outside and thanks them for letting him stay with them. He shakes all of their hands and says “Forgive me if I haven’t really expressed my gratitude to all of you. This has been such a shock to me.” After several months of living with the families Dussel starts to get frustrated. After Anne has awoken him because she was having a nightmare and screaming Dussel says “Something must be done about that child… Yelling like that! Who knows but there’s somebody on the streets? She’s endangered all our lives.” He continues by saying “Every night she twists and turns. I don’t sleep. I spend half my night shushing her. And now its nightmares.” Dussel is complaining about Anne and is showing that he is annoyed with her moving around in her sleep. He seems like he is the slightest bit ungrateful for what he has, even though he was supposed to only stay with the Franks and Van Daans for two nights....

...Undelete 360 is the free version of a commercial product, and so leaves out some useful features (file filtering, previews and so on). These still appear in the interface, though, and suggest you upgrade if you ever click on them, which can be annoying. There are no restrictions on the amount or size of the files you can recover, though, and otherwise the program is very simple to use: point it at a drive, it'll scan for deleted files, then you can view particular file types (JPGs, PDFs, videos and more) by choosing them from a tree. Scanning speed isn't great, but Undelete 360 can recover files that other programs miss, and so it's definitely worth considering [ (Williams, 2013) ]. Standard undelete programs are perfect for recovering a few files, but if you've lost an entire partition then you'll probably benefit from a specialist application like MiniTool Partition Recovery. The free (for personal use) program has a wizard-based interface which makes it very straightforward to use. Point MiniTool Partition Recovery at the problem drive, specify the area to be searched, and it'll scan for the missing partition. A report will let you know what the program has found, and you can recover the partition in a few seconds. You don't get a bootable recovery disc here, so if your system partition is damaged then MiniTool Partition Recovery won't help you very much. Otherwise, it provides a quick and easy way to locate and restore lost partitions [ (Williams, 2013) ]. A tool called...

...The author of The Hiding Place is Corrie Ten Boom. I have not read any other books by Corrie. Her other books include Tramp for the Lord, A Prisoner and Yet, Amazing Love, and many more. Corrie’s full name is Cornelia Ten Boom, she was a Dutch watchmaker and a dedicated Christian who was alive during World War II. She also helped many Jews escape the Nazi Holocaust and when they were caught they were taken captive and imprisoned along with their whole family. The book The Hiding Place is a biography of Corrie Ten Boom. The title of the book gave me the idea it was going to be a very emotional and suspenseful book. The title of this book sparked an interest in my mind because I like books that are suspenseful, and after reading the book I figured out that the title fits the book well because of the actual hiding place that is used to hide the Jews from the...

...In the book The Hiding Place, by Corrie Ten Boom, the reader hears of the events that unfolded during the holocaust from the perspective of a catholic. Corrie Ten Boom takes the reader through the journey of someone who may not have fallen victim to the Germans, but definitely didn't agree with what they were doing. The Ten Boom family made the decision that they would help to hide the Jews despite this being against the law. In this case it is ok to lie in order to keep the Jews safe because they are lying for the greater good. When making a decision one must weigh the pros and cons and when it comes to Corrie's decision the good most definitely outweighed the bad. Corrie continues to lie in order to save the Jews because they are still...

...Anne Frank as you all may well know was a Jewish teenager in World War Two and wrote a diary about her time in hiding. Throughout it, it talks about what it was like to be a Jew in the war and to constantly be in fear while in hiding. It also talks about how she changed as a person while going through the two years of living there without going outside once. I picked up this book expecting it to describe her fear and how she hates the war and desperately wants it to end, but was pleasantly surprised when I found it to be quite different. At the beginning of her diary it talks about her family, friends and her everyday life and she seems quite unaware of the danger that could attack her and her family at any minute. Her openness and honesty...
