Also the Guardian and the Washington Times released Snowden's leaked information on PRISM, a NSA program that allows real-time information collection, in this case, solely information on American citizens. Snowden now lives in Russia. One of his lawyers, Anatoly Kucherena, gave an interview with CBS News. Kucherena said that Snowden would seek temporary asylum in Russia and possibly apply for Russian citizenship later. Snowden thanked Russia for giving him asylum and said that "in the end the law is winning."(Edward Snowden biography) Snowden defends himself on the basis of moral grounds and liberty stating, “I'm willing to sacrifice [my former life] because I can't in good conscience allow the U.S. government to destroy privacy, internet freedom and basic...

At the request of their leader, men and women administered lethal doses of cyanide-laced punch to over 300 infants and children before gulping down their own. How could so many people be convinced to kill their babies and themselves? His name was James Warren Jones. Like his idol, Hitler, he was a dominant propagandist, a charismatic leader, and an evil human being. Summaries In the piece “Propaganda under a Dictatorship” (1958/2016), Aldous Huxley, renowned English novelist, and Oxford graduate expands on ideas he first presented in his 1932 novel, Brave New World, which examines a futuristic culture in which no individual thought takes form. Huxley’s essay explores the practical use of propaganda by Adolph Hitler in controlling the minds of eighty million German people in the years leading to the Second World War. He examines, with chilling account, Hitler’s...

...Denise McLemore Dr. Chemishanova English 1060 13 June 2013 Labeling dogs as vicious, based solely on their breed, is an unfair label because the actions of one dog is unjustly generalized to an entire breed; the media uses isolated instances for sensationalism and ratings; and these both combine to provoke reactionary legislation that imposes regulations selectively on these dogs and their owners. May 2nd, 2012 Christine Spain, the mother of Boston police officer David Lanteigne, was unconscious on train tracks in Shirley, MA. The engineer saw a dog, a pit bull named Lilly, trying to pull a woman off the tracks. After the train finally stopped and authorities arrived to find Lilly standing over her owner Christine. Lilly was taken and rushed to Angell Animal Medical Center in Boston. Lilly suffered from some injuries and some trauma to her leg, which eventually had to be amputated. She was rescued 3 years ago prior by her son and given to her to help with her struggle in alcoholism. Her son said, “We saved her life, and she saved my mom’s life” (Phillips). When these dogs become stereotyped as viscous there are so many testaments to show that they are misunderstood and they love their family just like any other breed. There are so many people that are not sure which way is the best way to address this situation. The problem is not the dogs; it is the owners of the dogs. Breed discrimination is not going to fix the problem. Can anyone say that one...

...The Supporting Role of Women in the First World War Topic #74: What Role did Women Play in the First World War Name: Nicole Terry Student Number: 0523481 Professor: Keith Walden Teacher Assistant: Alison Perry Date: March 12, 2014 Course: History 1500 The Great War began in August 1914 as a result of the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand. With the initiation of the war the call for citizens to bravely fight for their county was shortly followed. But the call for action did not only signify male participation, but it required the mobilization of women as well. “Thus from the very start, wartime media … called upon women specifically” to support their country. During The Great War propaganda is essential to the mobilization of women. Women play a significant role in the First World War in providing a support system that help to reinforce their military. Women’s support is displayed in a variety of ways. The brave and the qualified women work alongside their male counterparts on the war front, as nurses and espionage members. While others provide support from the home front through the participation of females in the workplace and continuing to be the primary caregiver for the households and children. The importance of female involvement in The Great War lies in the significant consequences women’s participation has had subsequently. Without women’s involvement the story of the war would differ greatly. Women roles as nurses in the Great War is crucial to the support...

In his speech he focuses on the oppression of the African American, and how African Americans are able to stand up against the illegal segregation. Malcolm also focuses on the African American’s right to vote, and how effective each vote actually is. He also warns the government that if he and his people are not able to vote that they may have to take up arms. The Ballot or the Bullet is among one of Malcolm’s most famous speeches being ranked at number seven in a Top 100 list of speeches in the 20th century. (News, 2008) On May 19, 1925 Malcolm Little was born to parents Earl and Louise Little the fourth of seven children. Born in Omaha, Nebraska the Little family shortly after moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin and then to Lansing, Michigan to avoid any further harassment from the Ku Klux Klan. In 1929, just four years after Malcolm was born, the LIttle family house was burned down. This was no accident it was believed to have been burned by members of the Black Legion. At the age of six Malcolm’s father passed away in an automobile accident. Rumors spread that Earl had been murdered by white racists. His mother believed that he was murdered by members of the Black Legion. All this was very disturbing to Malcolm at such a young age and continued to...

...Ronald A. Heifetz and Donald L. Laurie and “Leading change: Why transformation efforts fail” by John P. Kotter Introduction Organizations operate in an increasingly complex and dynamic environment, where change occurs continuously. The automotive industry, the health care and biotech industry, financial services, telecommunication and media companies, commodities manufacturers and internet companies have nothing in common but the need to face profound and dramatic change to stay competitive in today’s business world. This context poses a serious challenge to the management of all the existing organizations, that is the need to manage change well in order to achieve long-term success in the transformation processes. Indeed, transformations are perceived to be critical for organizational success and achievement of sustainable competitive advantage. Successful transformations, however, require leadership. Indeed, any change process requires the creation of a new vision and a new set of rules that has to be eventually institutionalized and rooted in social norms, and shared values of the organization: leaders, not managers (whose task is that of maintaining the current system operating at its best) are those in charge of leading change. Successful leaders recognize and understand the opportunities and challenges that come with change. This being said, both “The work of leadership” by Ronald A. Heifetz and Donald L. Laurie and “Leading change: Why transformation efforts fail” by John...

...Derek Sanderson Jeter ( /ˈdʒiːtər/; born June 26, 1974) is an American baseball shortstop who has played 17 years in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the New York Yankees. A twelve-time All-Star and five-time World Series champion, Jeter's clubhouse presence, on-field leadership, hitting ability, and baserunning have made him a central figure of the franchise during the Yankees' success of the 1990s and 2000s.[1] Due to his impact on the team, he has served as the Yankees' team captain since 2003.[2] He is regarded as a consummate professional by teammates and opponents alike,[3] and has a reputation as a reliable contributor in the postseason.[4] Jeter was drafted out of high school by the Yankees organization in 1992, and he debuted in the Major Leagues in 1995. The following year, he became the Yankees' starting shortstop and won the Rookie of the Year Award. In addition, Jeter's achievements include four Silver Slugger Awards, five Gold Glove awards, All-Star Game MVP Award, World Series MVP Award, and membership in the 3,000 hit club. Many players and coaches consider Jeter to be one of the best players of his generation.[5] He is the all-time hits leader among shortstops,[6] and his .317 career batting average through the 2009 season ranks as the fifth-highest among active players. He has been among the American League (AL) leaders in hits and runs scored for the past ten years. He is the all-time Yankees hit leader, having passed Hall of Fame member Lou Gehrig in 2009...

...1 Portfolio Assignment - Week 8 Robin Rockey Management of Organizational Behavior Colorado State University-Global Campus Dr. Linda Klonsky March 4, 2012 2 Portfolio Assignment - Week 8 Introduction The concept of enrollment management emerged in the 1970s and has developed into a strategic way of recruiting, retaining and graduating students. Rather than taking a “shotgun” approach with “get as many as you can” results, enrollment management strives to proactively plan for long-term enrollment and retention. It is a data-informed process that aligns an institutions’s fiscal and academic resources within its ever-changing environment to accomplish the institution’s mission and ensure long-term enrollment success and fiscal health. “‘Numbers,’ say the finance staff, ‘Quality,’ cry the faculty. And the admissions officers find themselves trying to do their job faced with variables over which they have no control.” (Swann, Henderson & AACRAO, p.71). Data must be the key. Says Kurz (2003, p. 39), “Without data, it is easy to try to do too much in too many places, resulting in a diluted effort that produces little by way of significant results”. An enrollment management structure consistently includes the core offices of admissions, registration and financial aid but in some situations, it may also include retention, orientation, counseling, first year experience and other offices that directly relate to student success. The combination of these offices under the umbrella of...

...Foreign Direct Investment in the Indian Telecommunications Sector By Keith Green Abstract This paper will examine the current status of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the Indian telecommunications sector and the issues facing foreign companies seeking to invest in the Indian telecommunications sector. The paper concludes with a brief econometric examination of the factors influencing the level of FDI in the Indian telecommunications sector. Introduction In the early 1990s India began to open up an economy that was previously closed to foreign direct investment (FDI). The liberalization in India included the gradual granting of authority for foreign direct investment in specific sectors of the economy. India has received significant inflows of foreign direct investment after liberalizing its economy in 1991 (see Figure 1 in the appendix). FDI inflows to India have exceeded many other ASEAN countries over time. However, China, not depicted in Figure 1, continues to be the leading destination for FDI in the Asia-Pacific region. India has achieved substantive improvements in telecommunications access since opening its telecommunications sector in the early 1990s. However, India has realized fewer benefits than were possible during the period of market reform. The slow implementation pace of liberalization, disparity between urban and rural areas and unclear regulations have impeded the flow of investment to the telecommunications sector in comparison to other emerging market...

...Gabriella Hatzopoulos War & Society Uniting Tactics, Divisive Consequences Rape, torture and murder against innocent civilians- what could cause someone to do such a thing? The My Lai Massacre during the Vietnam War was a result of a war tactic that continues to be utilized today: racism and dehumanization of the enemy. This strategy, employed by the Armed Forces and facilitated by the media back on American soil has proven to be dangerous in that it causes both soldiers and civilians to treat an entire group as subhuman and unworthy of empathy. We can see this in the My Lai Massacre and through the persistent hare crimes against Muslims during the United States’ current “war on terror.” On March 16 1968, 140 men of the American Charlie Company entered the village of My Lai and were ordered to kill whoever they saw. There was the belief that the province of Quang Ngai where My Lai was located was a stronghold for Vietcong guerillas. After increasing frustration with losing their soldiers and not progressing in the war as much as they’d like, the group took their anger out on what was thought was a village of Vietcong enemies. It was the first chance they had to meet the enemy face to face instead of through grenades and booby traps and finally get even. Lieutenant William L. Calley ordered a search and destroy mission and urged that anyone in My Lai was to be considered connected to the Vietcong in some way, and should be killed. Though no guerillas were found when...

...Change HRM 587 Professor Swift Course Project Walt Disney and Netflix Course Project Proposal For my course project I choose Walt Disney and the Netflix companies. I choose these two companies because I believe they are both going through significant changes in the way they are offering forms of the entertainment they provide. How they respond to the external forces that are requiring them to change has been different based on their resources and the demand their customers have. One company has many years of providing entertainment to many generations who value their judgment delivering quality products through many different mediums. The other company is new to the entertainment providing industry and has changed how businesses in that industry think about what their customers need based on the changes in the new technology developed in the past few years. For Walt Disney the changes will be how to maintain a quality relationship with the generations of customers who have purchased their movies in different formats that are no longer adaptable in the newest technology. Can they convince the owners of the video tapes that ownership of their products in other formats is still the answer? For Netflix the changes include a system that goes against the need to own the products, but trust that they will provide the entertainment they want when and where they want in a constantly changing environment on many different devices. Can the needs of the generation that is on the...

...A therapeutic crossroads My client is a young woman, white, middle-class and well-educated. She came into therapy because she feels unable to proceed in any direction with her work life, or make meaningful contact with anyone apart from her partner; she has been very unhappy for a long, long time. In sessions, she often lapses into silence, unable to move or speak. Sometimes we can talk around this, and it soon became clear to both of us that this state reflects her inner relationship with her mother. She knows that her parents love her, and she loves them; but she grew up without really questioning that how she thinks, feels and acts must match what her mother expects and can cope with. Otherwise, and particularly if anger is involved, she is overwhelmed with foreboding and terrible guilt. Coming into therapy has brought these dangerous feelings to the fore; but it is as though I am her mother, and so she cannot speak. As I sit with my client in her agony of self-consciousness, I have a choice to make. I could introduce an active mode of therapy. We could take her mother out of me and put her on a cushion where, with my encouragement, she might be able to develop communication back and forth. Alternatively, we might explore the acute bodily tensions that are part of her paralysed state, to help her give voice to what they are mutely saying. I would be taking the choice of standing alongside my client so that we could face her problems together. We would be locating those problems...

...vulnerable – a new kind of action heroine who has powered The Hunger Games: Catching fire to a $158m US debut. (Lionsgate) Jennifer Lawrence’s Katniss Everdeen is a new type of female action film icon, and moviegoers should be very excited about that, writes Lisa Schwarzbaum. As Catching Fire ignites on movie screens around the world, this is what we know about the 21st Century heroine called Katniss Everdeen: she is strong but also soft. She is brave but she has doubts. She is a phenomenal fictional creation, yet is real enough that moviegoers can draw inspiration from her values, her resourcefulness, and her very human inner conflicts. And she is played by Jennifer Lawrence, who appears not only to be handling her current duties as Hollywood’s finest model of well-adjusted millennial female stardom but doing so with charm. Everdeen and Lawrence: golden girls both. Personified in Lawrence’s lithe movements and cool, focused gaze, Katniss is a brave, resourceful and independent-minded fighter; but she is also a troubled and vulnerably guilt-ridden human being. Nina Jacobson, the producer of the Hunger Games film franchise, puts it this way: “She is a singular heroine in that the burden of survival weighs on her. She has a ton of survivor’s guilt. And she keeps surviving.” Girl on fire It is strange that behaving like a well-adjusted and responsible young woman counts as movie-star news – or that the popularity of a female lead character who is strong and feminine, brave even when...
