...Encouragement A Response to Poetry Reading by Susan Deer Cloud Professor Diana, English 328 November 21, 2011 Susan Deer Cloud is a Native American literature writer of Blackfoot, Mohawk, and Seneca heritage, and considers the very act of writing ceremonial. She was born and grew up in the Catskill Mountains and the area is inspiration for her writing. She has earned her B.A. in General Literature & Creative Writing and M.A. in English Literature & Creative Writing from Binghamton University, and her MFA in Creative Writing from Goddard College. She has taught as a lecturer at Binghamton University, Broome Community College, and Holyoke Community College. She has authored five books for which she has won competitions and received various awards—including a National Endowment for the Arts Literature Fellowship, and two New York State Foundation for the Arts Fellowships (most recent in March of 2011), as well as grants and honorable mentions for her work. Susan Deer Cloud’s artistic goal is “getting out the voices of sister and brother writers (especially indigenous writers)” (Susan Deer Cloud). During our class visit with Susan Deer Cloud and at her poetry reading on November 7, she mentioned Akwe:kon which is a Mohawk word meaning, "all of us." She says that “we are all a part of this and are here together sending out energy and when we speak our breath mingles with other people's breath and other voices” (Deer Cloud, Class Visit). She is Iroquois and “the guiding symbol...

...In Leslie Marmon Silko’s “The Man to Send Rain Clouds,” the Laguna Native American tribe finds itself in a spiritual quandary against the Roman Catholic Church. Some members of the local Native American tribe, Ken and Leon, are challenged when their grandfather, Teofilo, passes away. They come to a moral crossroads in the burial process, as to whether or not carry out their traditional tribal rituals, given they interfered with the new belief system that was being taught to them by the Catholic Church. They ultimately choose both burial strategies, but particular elements of a feather, a blanket, colors, and corn meal/pollen are used during the Native American burial process, and holy water was used for the Catholic Church process. It is clear that these elements hold symbolic value in the Laguna/Pueblo Native...

...M1 The internet today has grew massively there are new and much modernised technologies and ways to communicate. Communicating are making personal interaction fast, efficient and for some people a bit intimidating this is because the internet can be a dangerous place and people can forge people and impersonate them, peoples social media page has a lot of information on about that person so therefore people can have the necessarily information and can make other things up. The new technologies and communication methods are quickly becoming the ‘normal’ in today’s world. The concept referring to the changing trend in the use of web technology and web design is that they have to lead to the development of information sharing and collaboration capabilities. Web 2.0 is now referred to in new ways in which software developers and users use the web. It makes use of the web technologies that were always present but not technically or practically feasible in the web 1.0. there are more and modern technologies such as Ajax, wikis, folksonomy, web feeds, podcasts, semantic web, mashups, social networking, instant messaging, text messaging and blogging these are often referred as a web 2.0 technologies. The web 2.0 doesn’t represent a new version of the World Wide Web. Some social media and modern technologies we know or may use: Instant messaging (IM) Is a computer based method of communication in which a user can type and view messages sent to one or multiple people and can also view...

...ABSTRACT The rise of cloud computing and cloud data stores has been a precursor and facilitator to the emergence of big data. A database accessible to clients from the cloud and delivered to users on demand via then Internet from a cloud database provider’s servers. Also referred to as Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS), cloud database can use cloud computing to achieve optimized scaling, high availability, multi-tenancy and effective resource allocation. While a cloud database can be traditional database such as MySQL or SQL Server database that has been adopted for cloud use, a native cloud database need to be set up to be better equipped to optimally use cloud resources and to guarantee scalability. The combination of cloud computing and a new generation of big data analytics DBMS is enabling big database demand. Cloud database offers significant advantages over traditional counterparts such as increased scalability, automatic failover and fast automated recovery from failures, minimal investment and maintenance of in-house hardware, and potentially better performance. But at the same time cloud databases have its own potential drawbacks including security and privacy issues along with potential loss of vital information or inability to access critical data or information in the event of disaster of cloud database service providers. No matter what kind of cloud computing services operators plan to offer they need to have an effective cloud database strategy in place or customers...

Which marked the beginning of the end of the American Indians way of life. A life that was once peaceful and prosperous for the Sioux Indians was about to change drastically. Throughout history, the Sioux Indians, had to fight physical and emotional battles, in trying to retain their land and dignity. Following a time line, the American Indians were treated unjustly, as I will show starting with the Bozeman Trail and continuing on with The Great Sioux Reservation, Custer’s expedition, Battle of the Little Big Horn, Ghost Dancers, Wounded Knee, Citizenship Act of 1924, The Indian Reorganization Act, and The American Movement(AIM). The terrains were rough, being brutal and forcibly tough, especially for the new settlers who came west, when there was talk of gold. John Jacobs and his partner John...

...Day has been recognized as a national holiday. Millions of ignorant people go out and celebrate the man who brought about the deaths of millions of Native American people. Many are too perturbed by the thought of that, after all, it was not their ancestors who died. Others would argue that is was not Columbus who killed the Indians, it was smallpox. Though Hitler did not gas, shoot, and work all those Jews himself, he was the man behind the curtain, the reason it all happened. Columbus Day is a day full of lies, deception, and fairy tales to appease the general masses and let them sleep better at night. It’s time they awoke. To begin with, a lie is a lie, no matter how small and/or how harmless it might seem. Columbus did not land in North America, as most Americans are apt to believe. In fact, throughout all of Columbus’ voyages from 1492 to 1504, he never saw or touched anything that later became U.S. soil (p. #58, 1492). Columbus landed on the island called San Salvador, incorrectly believing that he had landed in India, which is why he called the people he saw, ‘Indios’ (p. #59, 1492). Communications were limited to gestures, since neither side knew the others’ language (p. #59, 1492). What is most plausible here, is that Columbus most likely made up whatever he felt like he could, telling his men that the natives thought the men came from Heaven and that there was a king that had great containers of gold (p. #60, 61, 1492). Those who read some more stories about...

...Form Trust in Cloud Computing Sarah Kim University of Texas at Austin 1616 Guadalupe Suite #5.202 Austin, TX 78701-1213 srhkim@gmail.com ABSTRACT Ayoung Yoon University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill 216 Lenoir Dr. CB #3360 100 Manning Hall, Chapel Hill, NC 27599 ayyoon@email.unc.edu journalists, IT experts, and scholars have addressed challenges of trust in cloud computing often accompanied with concerns for security, privacy, diminishing user control, lack of transparency, and reputation issues (e.g., Ghosh & Arce, 2010; Kahn & Malluhi, 2010; Pearson & Benameur, 2010; Habib, Ries, & Muhlhauser, 2010). Many of the trust-related discussions, however, are often based on the viewpoints of service developers/providers or technology focused (e.g., Hwang & Li, 2010). Cloud service providers (CSPs) saying “trust me” does not necessarily motivate people to respond with “I trust you.” Understanding of users’ thoughts on trust issues in the cloud computing environment is necessary in order to build and preserve trust between users and cloud service providers. PURPOSE OF RESEARCH The present study explores individual end-users’ perspectives of cloud computing, especially issues regarding their trust/distrust of cloud services. While current cloud computing service development focuses on adoption by enterprises and organizations, individual endusers who use cloud services in their everyday lives also constitute an important consumer group. Challenges of trust in cloud computing have...

...comes to Native American mascots, some people believe that they can actually be seen as an honor. Mascots are used to serve as a way to celebrate and pay tribute to the history and heritage of Native American cultures. When it comes to Native American mascots, there is no insult being described what so ever. This information provided can be supported by evidence and ideas supported throughout Native American history. In opposition to this debate, many people argue that using Native American mascots can actually be seen as an insult rather than an honor. They believe that these mascots preserve a bad image of Native American culture, which makes them out to be an inaccurate representation. According to a Native American magazine, “But...

Moran knew he wanted to capture a scene from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s epic poem about a Native American warrior titled “The Song of Hiawatha.” However, he craved a certain inspiration. It was not until 1862 when he studied Turner’s work in England that he thought of using “Slave Ship” as inspiration for the piece he was planning. Moran was inspired by both the malevolence of the sun and the twist it had on the history of the painting. In the painting, J.M.W. Turner...

Native Americans have been a part of our history for hundreds of years but we rarely see their news on the big news sources, and many of their stories do not get heard or acted upon. One headline we have seen on the news is the NFL Redskins team renaming controversy. Although we have seen and heard of the controversy in the news, it has been a long drawn out process that has not had any resolution yet. One theme often in early Native American literature as well as in...

...University of Oklahoma 3/8/10 The Rise and Fall of Donehogawa Anthropology 1613.001 Chapter 8 Ely Samuel Parker was the first actual Indian that became Commissioner of Indian Affairs. He was part of the Seneca Iroquois tribe from the Tonawanda reservation in New York. His real name was Donehogawa, but he realized that he would not get any respect in the white man’s world with an Indian name. In this paper I will discuss how he became Commissioner, some of the problems he faced while he was Commissioner, and also his demise. Parker battled racial prejudice nearly his entire life. From the time he was ten years old he went to work as a stable boy on an Army post, and the officers would make fun of him because of how poorly he spoke the English language (Brown 179). When he was still very young he decided he wanted to go to missionary school to learn and master the English language. He wanted to be educated so that he could help his people as much as possible, and he thought that being a lawyer would be the best way to help his people. After he graduated he worked at a firm for over three years to help him learn how law offices work. He then applied to take the bar examination to become a lawyer, but was told that only white male citizens could be lawyers in New York. This did not cause Parker to give up, he was a very determined individual and sought to find which professions he would be admitted to. He then sought to be a civil engineer, and entered the Rensselaer...
