...his things when he got an email on his phone. The email was from an anonymous person and stated “DELETE AFTER READ,” in the headline. The email was a tip, stating that there had been illegal and wrong experiments happening to the asylum inmates in the Scranton Hill Asylum. These experiments were said to have caused mental issues, physical abnormalities and make the inmates seem unhuman and “monster like.” Conor, being an investigative journalist, was intrigued. The asylum was owned by the notorious, unethical “Wolf Incorporated.” He decided to pursue this tip, but not without help, he called his apprentice Cameron. “Cammy I need you to meet me at the Scranton Hill asylum right now, this address right now it’s a serious and urgent matter.”...

...Is email dead for teenagers? Explain. I cannot say that email is dead for teenagers but it does seem that it is not used as often or for social communication as much as a teenager would use Facebook or Twitter. With the advancement of the social websites and 2.0 which is a more interactive arena. “Typically people use Twitter to discuss some of the mundane activities that they do during the day. You are simply answering the question: What are you doing?” according to our text. If a teenager has a group of their friends following them then they could potentially have a full conversation on twitter that is the past could have been done on email. The same is for Facebook, if a teenager is looking to have a more private conversation that can now be done my sending a direct message on a social website or using a chat messaging system. I think that most teens see email use as used strictly for professional and educational uses not social. So yes in the sense of social emailing it can be considered dead. The web 2.0 is not a new Internet. Is it the new name given to an emerging trend – participation? Instead of simply consuming information people are contributing and as a result, connecting to others in the process. If you had to make an educated guess, what might the web 3.0 be like? Why? It is hard to imagine what web 3.0 would be like because web 2.0 is because there are so many options and different technology offered on web 2.0. The social and business networks offered...

How can a weak currency support a strong currency. Here's why: Greek Crisis The debt crisis in the euro zone, fears of default by Greece and breakup of the euro zone has been weighing down the euro. Volatile Market In uncertain times, investors prefer to cash over risky financial assets such as stocks. Global sell-off in stocks has increased demand for dollar and led to its appreciation. Operation Twist Fed's recent action of injecting liquidity by replacing long term bonds with short-term bonds instead of printing more money has prevented an increase in supply of dollar.

...Why correct writing and grammar in the NSA field is important. Kenny Carroll Daymar Composition 1 ENG 211 Ms. Kingery October 15, 2014 Why correct writing and grammar in the NSA field is important. Writing and grammar at first may not seem that important in an I.T. techs everyday business life, yet we would be wrong. In a business environment no matter what your job position or title is proper writing and grammar are a vital part of everyday communication. If you’re the computer repairman and you need to send out a companywide memo to warn against a virus or a computer threat, you do not want to sound as if you have no educational background Especially if you have not personal most of the individuals included on the email, they will have a bad first impression without actually meeting you. Good writing skills are a key asset at every stage of your career, from the moment you write your very first cover letter and resume until your retirement party. This is especially true for administrative professionals who are responsible for a significant amount of written communication on a daily basis. You don’t have to be a published author or hold a degree in comparative literature to be a skilled writer. Sound written communication is advantageous for ambitious administrative professionals at all levels and across many levels within the computer world (Hosking, 2014, para. 1). Whether we think about it or not, we communicate in writing every day. Every time you send an email...

...Propriety software and open source applications are anything but similar. What are the pros and cons of buying Microsoft Office (proprietary) versus downloading and using Open Office (open) for free? I believe the pros of buying propriety versus downloading and using Open office is that for one that by purchasing the product you have all of the features available to and it lasts. When you download a free trial off of the internet it normally only last for a certain amount of time which is usually somewhere between 30 to 90 days. Also often times with the trial version it doesn’t allow you to do everything that you would normally be able to do if you had the paid version. A pro for using open office, of course is that it is free. So if you don’t have hundreds of dollars to go out and spend on software which most people don’t then downloading the free version will allow you to get the job done while being able to keep your money in your pocket. Social networks allow people to connect for a variety of reasons in a digital environment. You might join LinkedIn to meet business contacts, MySpace to find a band member, or Facebook to see pictures of old friends and meet new ones. Whatever environment you decide to be a part of, posting information about you has become an issue of concern. What are those concerns? I mean what is the big deal about privacy? I guess the biggest concern most people have with privacy is worrying about who can see what they post on the internet. I myself...

This exciting field is both old and new. Political economy predates both political science and economics but only reemerged as a distinct field in the 1960s and 70s. It is concerned with understanding how political forces (broadly defined) shape and are shaped by economic ones (broadly defined). There are many research and policy-relevant questions addressed in this field: 1. What is globalization and is it really good for everyone? 2. Is free trade really the only “appropriate” means for international exchange? 3. Why are some countries or regions rich while others struggle? 4. How did the global casino of high finance emerge and what is its purpose? 5. Is economic performance the root of power or power the root of economic performance? 6. What should be the role of government in the economy? 7. Is there a best practice for government economic policy or are there many workable practices? 8. Why has Asia seemed to perform so well over the last 30 years while Europe appears to have stagnated? 9. Does a rising tide really life...

...When I asked why, they said that they would rather be safe and have a better community to live in. When I looked online on the public debates most people said national security because they want to be free from terrorist attacks and threats. What if their was an attack, who would be blamed for it? The government, so they are doing everything possible to stop threats and attacks, so it can be done the right way. Instead of being hated on from most Americans because so many are dead, they would rather stop it while they can and if that means invading someone’s privacy in the slightest then so be it. The government has keywords that they try to find in emails, phone clls, search histories, and text messages to see if there is a threat. They don’t actually look at everything and know everything about you. After threats and attacks are stopped, then people will have their privacy...

...up my iPad (before my kids can steal it from me to play Angry Birds), I am greeted with two pop-ups serving irrelevant daily deals, which I instinctively close without reading. The only time I might actually pay attention is when a friend emails or pings me via Facebook on a cool offer (Rally Car Racing lessons? Okay, now we’re talking). Most marketing emails that somehow slip through my spam filter also go unopened and unread, as I search for the email I really want to see: that my fantasy football trade was accepted (Tony Romo really is a horrible fantasy QB). The mail, the inserts, the pop-ups, the emails — they have all become nuisances and background noise. So is marketing dead? I hope not, because I’m basically a marketing guy. But I think classic “segmentation” based marketing is broken. We are all individuals with unique needs. And as much as marketers try, it’s hard to put us into “catch all” segments or clusters. As a former airline marketing VP, I have been part of the problem: so feel free to blame me first. We used to celebrate a 0.25% response rate to inserts in our airline credit card mailings. Really? So 99.75% of the people didn’t care about our offer. A 1% click-through on a keyword ad gets celebrated, too. So why do marketers celebrate irrelevance? Because the math still pens out: you can make money in the short term on a 0.25% response rate or a 1% click through rate. But what’s the long term cost? More important, what’s the lost opportunity...

...was but an hour after I left work, when my phone rang. The call was from my boss Doug, saying that I needed to come to the office, I asked why and he said he’ll explain later. Why would he need a detective at the station this late I thought. As I drove I called my assistant Jeff. He didn’t pick up, that’s when I realized something was wrong. Jeff always picks up I thought. I decided I needed to get there as fast as I could and took the highway. When I arrived at the station it was the dead of night. Usually the station was closed at this time but today the lights were on and the parking lot was full. As I walked in I saw every one rushing around. They seemed to be looking for something. I tried to ask them what they were doing but no one answered. After five minutes of being oblivious to what was happening, my boss Doug pulled me aside and filled me in. “We got an emergency call from Jeff about an hour ago and he told us to come to the station” He exclaimed.“No!” he exclaimed as we looked for Jeff. Then we saw it, the body of Jeff, laying motionlessly behind the dumpster. I thought to myself Who could’ve done this. Why would someone do this. I went home frustrated and sad. Jeff was one of my dearest friends, I should’ve been there to help. The next day I arrived at work...

...Technology has had a great impact on businesses and their approach to accommodate modern technology needs to keep up with all the changes. Television is slowly disappearing and social media is becoming more popular, it seems as if Smart phones are taking over the world. One of the ways smart phones have changed how business is done is by email and the response time. An employee can be emailed and instantly receive the message on their Smart phone making response time faster. You no longer have to wait to be next to a computer to check messages. Another way they have changed the way business is done is by social networks, companies no longer have to spend millions of dollars on advertisement all because of the creation of social networking. Users pay constant attention to their phones making this medium the single greatest source of word-of-mouth traffic. There are many reasons smart phones have changed the way business is done and I can name many, but I must say this last one I am going to mention is the reason why I would use a smart phone for business purposes. It is what I call less dead time, business people can continue to conduct business at any time, any place, and by anyone. You no longer have to wait for anything as long as you have your smart phone by your side. It makes it convenient, it saves time, effort, and most important of all money while introducing new...

...often as I’d hang around with my family. He’s like my brother; a brother who I could lean to when I have problems, a brother who’s always there for me when I’m in trouble, a brother who loved me for me… at least as a sister. What he didn’t know is that I am deeply in love with him ever since the day we first met; which saddens me the most, assuming that he only thinks of me as his sister. In sixth grade, in spite of this, things changed. We had been together for 5 implausible years, but this year is diverse. I was moving. Moving far away from him, it’s like a new world I’m getting myself into. My deep profoundness love for him is still there and I don’t want to leave him. We agreed to call each other at least twice a week, send letters and emails if we have time, and stay in touch with each other. Except that, it wouldn’t be the same, it wouldn’t be like old times, we wouldn’t see each other except in pictures, we couldn’t do anything together now. We couldn’t be there for each other, all the time anymore. Furthermore we are two continents away from each other. And I wanted to confess. Tomorrow, I decided. The day of the departure came but he was nowhere in sight. I tried calling his cell but no one was answering...

It also reinforces the applicant’s excitement for working for the company. Employers are often times very busy and don’t want to be annoyed with daily phone calls or emails from the applicant. This is way it is a good idea for the applicant to wait about 7 business days before they make a follow-up call. The follow-up call is important to keep the employer interested in the applicant and to show the employer of the interest the applicant has in the...

...Toni Morrison’s Beloved: A Realistic Saga of Black Female Slavery by Vaseem G Qureshi Margaret Atwood in The New York Times Book Review says about The Beloved by Toni Morrison as thus: In the book, the other world exists and magic works, and the prose is up to it. If you can believe page one – and Ms Morrison’s verbal authority compels belief – you’re hooked on the rest of the book. (Atwood, 1993, 35) Toni Morrison’s fifth novel, Beloved (1987) explores the degradation imposed upon all African slaves of America. The novel is about matrilineal ancestry and the relationships among enslaved, freed, alive and dead mothers and daughters. The text is so grounded in historical reality that it could be used to teach American history classes. The protagonist of the novel, Sethe’s character is based on a factual slave woman Margaret Garner in an exaggerated way. For Random House project, The Black Book (1974), “scrap book” of three hundred years of the folk journey of Black America, Morrison had to gather details for the text. A fugitive from Kentucky, Garner attempted to kill her children rather than having them re-enslaved when they were all captured in Ohio in 1850. She succeeded in killing only one, however, whose throat she slashed. Acknowledging that she had indeed conducted research while writing Beloved, Morrison told Martha Darling: I did research about a lot of things in this book in order to narrow it, to make it narrow and deep, but I did not do much research on Margaret...

...how the media and academic articles portray them. Overall, media articles show that coverage of school shooting events such as the ones that occurred at Virginia Tech University and Sandy Hook Elementary School tend to primarily focus on the number of victims, reactions of family, the misfortune of the event, as well as the mental state and background of the shootings. For an example, in the Los Angeles Times article “Gunman kills 20 kids, 6 adults at Connecticut elementary school”, they focus on the number of dead, imagery, and the emotion after the shooting such as parent’s reactions and children’s reactions. In the article they seem to dramatize the whole situation by saying things like “Evil visited this community today”. Although it is a tragic event the media seems to focus more on the issue of numbers and emotion. I think that the media might focus on the numbers to catch the reader’s attention. The media does not attempt to look into the reasoning why this person did the things they did, they instead emphasize on the facts. The Los Angeles Times says “Adam Lanza, 20, earlier killed his mother at home and then drove Her Honda...
