...by first directly addressing his audience, the clergymen and then using logos, pathos and egos to present his own perspective on his opponent’s statements. The majority of the sentences in King’s letter can be connected to logos, pathos or ethos and his incorporation of appeals is masterful. On more than one occasion, King uses various strategies to appeal to his audience, in the letter he writes, “I have the honor of serving as president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, an organization operating in every southern state, with headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia. We have some eighty-five affiliated organizations across the South, and one of them is the Alabama Christian Movement for Human Rights.” In this excerpt, King presents his ethos very tactically. The Alabama clergy presents him as an outsider in the letter, but demonstrating his ethos, King presents himself as an insider. He is not just a man who chose to protest in an outside community, but is in fact the president of the Conference. He is a clergyman speaking to other clergymen, but also part of an organization that has a chapter in their state. There were also other forms of ethos in his letter, King is sure to demonstrate his religious ethos by tracing his own heritage of ministerial ancestors and discussing his own church leadership. He also makes biblical references, comparing his struggle with the Apostle Paul and the...

...RUNNING HEAD: Web Page 1 The Social Web Ericka Silva Computer Literacy INF103 Brett Ferns Dec. 10, 2012 RUNNING HEAD: Web Page 2 The Social Web What do we think of when we hear social web? A social web is a group of social networks that supports public interactions. Websites with advanced software are designed for supporting the communication between people. It is the term given for the World Wide Web as a kind of social media. Social web is everywhere; we have Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, YouTube, and so many others. There are dating cites like eHarmony, okCupid and Match.com where people can go and meet new people and chat and find a relationship. There are even chat rooms and games that have social networks also. In my research paper I will address our use of the social web and how it has become a big part of our lives. The social web, which is also referred to as social networking, was first designed with the intention of making a way for people to interact with others over the internet. These sites are mostly formed around the connections of people of the same interests. It has become a new and exciting way for people all over the world to communicate with each other, without having to leave their own homes. It has become a thing of convenience for many people to turn on their computers or open an app and start communicating with family members, friends or even co-workers.

Reflect on the contribution of this writer to your thinking in the light of the course material you have studied and your reading of other authors. Due Date: Email Sent: I certify that this assignment is my own work. STUDENT’S SIGNATURE: Parker Palmer has made a significant contribution to my understanding of teaching in a Christian community. Through access to his published works “To Know As We Are Known, The Courage To Teach” and “Let Your Life Speak”, I have been enriched by Palmer’s viewpoints and themes on teacher’s, teaching and community. In many instances I found his viewpoints and philosophies insightful, exciting, challenging, daunting and confronting.

...SPC MOTORS PROPOSSAL TO SET UP A PLANT IN NEW ZEALAND New Zealand has an open economy that places few barriers in the way of Foreign Service providers or importers. But our exporters often encounter barriers overseas, which is why New Zealand pursues an active trade agenda. To advance and safeguard New Zealand’s interests, we need to establish and maintain our exporters’ access to markets that matter. Since 2000, trade agreements have proliferated worldwide. As our global competitors develop new networks of trade agreements, we need to match their progress or risk our exporters being disadvantaged. Free trade does not just benefit our exporters. New Zealand importers and consumers enjoy wider and cheaper access to many countries’ goods and services. The idea of introducing a new truck to the region that is more eco-friendly is in the best interest for us and them. Since the earthquake in 2012 many of the buildings and even vehicles were damaged and are in need of replacement. Right now introducing a truck to the area would most likely give us an advantage over the other car manufactures that are selling in the area. The pursuit of trade agreements complements New Zealand's participation in multilateral and regional fora such as: • The World Trade Organization (WTO) • Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) • Industry: Automotive Manufacturing Median Salary by Years’ Experience Current state of the labor market: Strong The overall state of the labor market remains strong...

...Secure Data Sharing in the Cloud Danan Thilakanathan, Shiping Chen, Surya Nepal and Rafael A. Calvo 1 Introduction Cloud systems [1, 2] can be used to enable data sharing capabilities and this can provide an abundant of benefits to the user. There is currently a push for IT organisations to increase their data sharing efforts. According to a survey by InformationWeek [3], nearly all organisations shared their data somehow with 74 % sharing their data with customers and 64 % sharing with suppliers. A fourth of the surveyed organisations consider data sharing a top priority. The benefits organisations can gain from data sharing is higher productivity. With multiple users from different organisations contributing to data in the Cloud, the time and cost will be much less compared to having to manually exchange data and hence creating a clutter of redundant and possibly out-of-date documents. With social networking services such as Facebook, the benefits of sharing data are numerous [4] such as the ability to share photos, videos, information and events, creates a sense of enhanced enjoyment in one’s life and can enrich the lives of some people as they are amazed at how many people are interested in their life and well-being. For students and group-related projects, there has been a major importance for group collaborative tools [5]. Google Docs provides data sharing capabilities as groups of students or teams working on a project can share documents and can collaborate...

...Rodolfo Baggio Marianna Sigala Alessandro Inversini Juho Pesonen Editors Information and Communication Technologies in Tourism 2014 eProceedings of the ENTER 2014 PhD Workshop in Dublin, Ireland. January 21, 2014 Preface The advent of Information and communication technology (ICT) has had a paramount impact on tourism. The effects of this revolution continue to change the nature of contemporary tourism on a day-to-day base. The globalization of information, open innovation, better access, collaboration in a generation of information and technological convergence, have all contributed to the design of a new scientific paradigm. Thanks to our passion for research and to the continuous advancements in the technological ecosystem as well as the possibility of better understanding human activity and behavior we are on the threshold of a new era of the social science of tourism. This new social and technological paradigm affects tourism and human mobility in a way that gives the research process unheard-of possibilities. The current level of technological development allows for the construction of objects that are smaller, more intelligent and embedded in the environment and even wearable. These objects, which record and learn our habits are connected to the Internet and they have computing capabilities. They can also be interconnected and generate large quantities of information to benefit the environment in which they are located as well as the travellers that possess...

...HOLLOW AVOWALS OF HUMAN RIGHTS PROTECTION – TIME FOR AN AUSTRALIAN FEDERAL BILL OF RIGHTS? JULIE CASSIDY* Unlike the constitutions of many nations, such as the United States of America and the Republic of South Africa, the constitutions of the Australian States and Territories and the Commonwealth Constitution Act 1901 (UK) contain no bill of rights. Australia is the only western democracy without a federal bill of rights. The debate regarding the need for a bill of rights necessitates an understanding of what human rights the people of Australia already enjoy. If sufficient protection can be found in existing sources, does Australia really need a federal bill of rights? Opponents of a bill of rights state that we have sufficient protection from arbitrary government intervention in our personal affairs and thus a bill of rights is unnecessary. There are a number of potential sources of human rights in Australia that might provide the suggested existing protection, including the common law, specific domestic legislation, international law and constitutional law. Each of these sources of human rights has, however, important limitations. The focus of this article is on the inadequacy of the Australian constitutions as a source of purported protection. This in turn suggests that an alternative source of rights is needed – a federal bill of rights? In the course of this analysis the author makes suggestions for reform; specifically how a federal bill of rights may address the paucity...
