...Ancient Cultures: Love HUM/100 Ancient Cultures: Love My love, I have tried with all my being to grasp a form comparable to thine own, but nothing seems worthy; I know now why Shakespeare could not compare his love to a summer’s day. It would be a crime to denounce the beauty of such a creature as thee, to simply cast away the precision God had placed in forging you. Each facet of your being whether it physical or spiritual is an ensnarement from which there is no release. But I do not wish release. I wish to stay entrapped forever. With you for all eternity, our hearts, always as one (Kolos, 2012). This is the image of love often and initially conjured when we talk about love. However, the word “love” can have a variety of related but distinct meaning in different contexts and cultures. We will look the definition of love and do a brief assessment of how ancient Greek and Romans viewed or definition of interpersonal love in their culture. We will compare their view to our modern day view/definition of interpersonal love. First let us look at our definition of love according to dictionary.com (2012). “Love is a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person. A feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection, as for parent, child, or friend. Sexual passion or desire. A person toward whom love is felt; beloved person; sweetheart.” There were many more definitions addressed representing all of human kindness, compassion, and affections...

...Leonardo Journal of Sciences ISSN 1583-0233 Issue 13, July-December 2008 p. 7-21 Network Security: Policies and Guidelines for Effective Network Management Jonathan Gana KOLO, Umar Suleiman DAUDA Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Federal University of Technology, Minna, Nigeria. jgkolo@gmail.com, usdauda@gmail.com Abstract Network security and management in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is the ability to maintain the integrity of a system or network, its data and its immediate environment. The various innovations and uses to which networks are being put are growing by the day and hence are becoming complex and invariably more difficult to manage by the day. Computers are found in every business such as banking, insurance, hospital, education, manufacturing, etc. The widespread use of these systems implies crime and insecurity on a global scale. In addition, the tremendous benefits brought about by Internet have also widened the scope of crime and insecurity at an alarming rate. Also, ICT has fast become a primary differentiator for institution/organization leaders as it offers effective and convenient means of interaction with each other across the globe. This upsurge in the population of organizations depending on ICT for business transaction has brought with it a growing number of security threats and attacks on poorly managed and secured networks primarily to steal personal data, particularly financial information and password...

...Providers in homeless shelters learn filial therapy, a derivative of child’s-play, accepting the individual and family unit with positive regard; the therapy increases the parent-child relationship, promote self-esteem, and decreases parenteral stress of the homelessness situation (Kolos et al., 2009). Filial therapy is currently in use in many family homeless shelters – children participate in one hour learning sessions on a variety of health topics, parents have sessions to discuss their concerns with being homeless, and mental health issues are addressed with providers who offer their...

...zaczynam sobie to uświadamiać i robić wszystko, żebym ja poczuł się lepiej. Przecież nie jestem gorszy od nikogo, wiem jaką mam wartość, logicznie rzecz biorąc jestem mądrzejszy silniejszy, lepszy ,bo jestem świadomy rzeczy których inni nie widzą. No i tutaj pojawia się pycha i samolubność. Dlaczego mam uważać się za lepszego skoro wszyscy są równi a równocześnie co mam zrobić ,żeby nie czuć się źle? Zaczynam oddychać. Skup się na oddechu Tomek. Przecież czytałeś książkę o medytacji, medytujesz codziennie, to dlaczego to czasem działa jak magiczny lek który uśmierza każdy ból, a czasami w ogóle nie pomaga? Wydaje mi się, że to dlatego, że nie jestem przekonany o tym, że mi to pomoże, chociaż już mi pomogło i zmieniło moje życie na lepsze. Koło się zamyka. Najważniejsze, że nie stoję w miejscu.

...Just as a cover does not fully reveal the text of its book, the ambiguousness of my physical appearance has never truly represented the cultural diversity and experiences of my life. People have inquired about my nationality and guessed countries from the sunny shores of Samoa to the mango orchards of India. In the sunshine and heat of the summer, a person wouldn't likely guess, from the melanin in my skin and salty ringlet curls that crown my head, that I fluently speak Croatian and love the Croatian folk dance “kolo.” However, weeks into winter that same person would not guess from my pale tan and straightened hair that I experience the prejudice of bearing the label “Black.” The diversity of my background continues when a person asks me where I am from, to which I recite the following: “My dad is an African-American soldier from...

...Ceny ropy sa konecne zacali hybat k lepsiemu. V predchadzajucom tyzdni tyzdni obidva druhy ropy dosiahli najvyssie ceny zatial v tomto roku . WTI bola v piatok 16 aprila na hodnote viac ako 56 usd za barel a Brent isla nad hodnotu 63 usd za barel. Zvysenie je aj napriek restart a vykyvom opravnene a to hlavne preto ze trhy sa konecne zacinuaju prisposobovat. Americka produkcia ropy vykazuje mesacny pokles a to 57 000 barelov za den pretoze hlavne loziska bridlice v severnej dakote a v texase pocituju jej nedostatok. A nielen to. Aj zasoby sa zvysili len o 1.2 miliona barrelov, o ovela menej ako sa predpokladalo . Toto indikuje ze nielen tok novej ropy sa spomaluje ale aj rifinerie zvysuju mieru jej spracovania. Kapacita rafinovania ropy je ovela vyssia ako zvykne byvat v tomto obdobi roka. Rozdiel medzi cenami surovej ropy(WTI sa obchoduje zlavene oproti Brent) a trhovymi cenami benzinu a dieslu a dalsich rafinovanych produktov(obchoduje sa cenovo blizsie k cenam breentu) je ako dar z nebies rafinerov. Namiesto toho aby rafinerie zatvorili na udrzbu, tak tieto funguju este s ovela vyssimi kapacitami preto aby dosiahli co najviac zo sucasnej situacie. Ked sa obmedzi produkcia ropy a dopyt sa zvysi , ceny ropy mozu najst pevnu podu pod nohami. Avsak toto je v kontraste k informaciam z tohto tyzdna ked saudska Arabia pumpuje ropu takmer v rekordnej miere. Denne vytazia 10.3 miliona barelov a tym padom saudsku Arabiu netrapia nizke ceny ropy. Opec zvysil svoju mesacnu produkciu...

...Identification. The name Yugoslavia previously designated six republics (Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia, Bosnia-Herzogovia, Croatia, and Slovenia), but now includes just Serbia and Montenegro. The word means "land of the southern Slavs." Montenegro, which means "black mountain," takes its name from its rugged terrain. Within Serbia there are several national cultures. In addition to the dominant Serb tradition, there is a large Hungarian population in the northern province of Vojvodina, where Hungarian is the common language and the culture is highly influenced by Hungary (which borders the province to the north). In southern Serbia, the province of Kosovo is primarily Albanian, and has an Islamic culture that bears many remnants of the earlier Turkish conquest. Location and Geography. Serbia is a landlocked territory in the Balkan Peninsula of Eastern Europe, bordering Montenegro, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Macedonia, and Albania. Montenegro is to the west of Serbia, also bordering Bosnia and Herzogovina, Albania, and the Adriatic Sea. Serbia covers 34,136 square miles (88,412 square kilometers); Montenegro has an area of 5,299 square miles (13,724 square kilometers). Together they are slightly smaller than the state of Kentucky. The terrain varies widely. In the north there are fertile plains that produce most of Serbia's crops, as well as marshlands along the Sava and Danube Rivers. At the northern border, the Danube River runs along the Iron...

...Joseph Schumpeter, naar wie deze kolom wordt genoemd, betoogde beide kanten van de zaak. In 1909 zei hij dat kleine bedrijven inventiever waren. In 1942 teruggedraaid hij zelf. Grote bedrijven hebben meer stimulans om te investeren in nieuwe producten, besloot hij, omdat ze kunnen verkopen aan meer mensen en oogsten grotere beloningen sneller. In een concurrerende markt, zijn uitvindingen snel nagebootst, zodat de investeringen een kleine uitvinder vaak niet te betalen. Deze dagen is de tweede Schumpeter is uit de mode: mensen gaan ervan uit dat kleine start-ups zijn creatief en grote bedrijven zijn traag en bureaucratisch. Maar dat is een grove oversimplificatie, zegt Michael Mandel van de Progressive Policy Institute, een denktank. In een nieuw rapport over "schaal en innovatie", concludeert hij dat de huidige economie bevoordeelt grote bedrijven meer dan kleine. Big is terug, zoals deze krant heeft gesteld. En groot is slim, om drie redenen. Eerste, zegt de heer Mandel, is de economische groei in toenemende mate gedreven door grote ecosystemen zoals degenen die zich rond Apple's iPhone of Android besturingssysteem van Google. Deze ecosystemen moeten worden beheerd door een kern bedrijf dat de omvang en de vaardigheden om technologisch leiderschap te bieden heeft. Ten tweede, globalisering legt meer van een premie op maat dan ooit tevoren. Om de vruchten van innovatie is het niet langer genoeg om een groot bedrijf te zijn voor Amerikaanse normen vast te leggen. U...

On the surface participation within these environments may seem socially beneficial, as these highly social, playful spaces allow players to connect, interact with, and learn from others. However, there is a growing concern that increased participation within online gaming environments comes with a wide variety of social consequences, contributing to numerous losses in ‘offline’ sociability. While considerable research has examined these claims, consistent relationships between social competence and online video game involvement have yet to be established. The current work (N = 515) aimed to examine the extent to which online video game involvement may support, or undermine, the development and maintenance of traditional social skills. The results indicate that there are unique relationships...
