The memory is the central element in both Brian Friel’s play Dancing at Lughnasa and James Joyce’s story ‘Eveline,’ which focus on the given theme. The former story is based on the memory and perspective of a character named Michael, and the latter is based on Eveline. The play’s plot revolves around Michael remembering his childhood and people who surrounded him at that time. The story’s plot is about Eveline, who wants to leave her home, but reconsiders her decision in order to fulfill her promise to her mother, who passed away, to take care of and look after her home. Therefore, the play uses memory descriptively, whereas the story utilizes it as pivotal decision-making influencer. It is important to note that although memory plays a critical role in both storylines, the play uses it in a descriptive manner, whereas the James Joyce’s story utilizes it as a direct influence on the main character. In the case of Brian Friel’s play, Michael looks back at his past and relives the moments, where he describes the struggles of his family. For example, he states: “When I cast my mind back to that summer of 1936, different kinds of memories offer themselves to me” (Fried, 1998, p. 4). In other words, the main character establishes from early on that the bulk of the information will be a recollection of his memory about his childhood. In addition, there are key elements of modernism, where the notions, such as narrative authority and cycles of life, are used. They make the storyline divergent from the classical or traditional ways of writing, where the majority of the text is not occupied by a character’s memory. James Joyce’s story ‘Eveline’ utilizes the theme of memory not only in a descriptive manner, but also as a direct influencer of the main character’s present state. For the majority of the plot, Eveline’s memory justifies and sways her decision-making process towards leaving her home in order to eliminate unnecessary troubles and problems from her life. For example, it is stated: “her father used often to hunt them in out of the field with his blackthorn stick; but usually little Keogh used to keep nix and call out when he saw her father coming” (Joyce, 1904, par. 2). In other words, she was concerned about her abusive father, which substantiated the fact that she had to leave her home in order to find peace and fulfillment. The author writes: “even now, though she was over nineteen, she sometimes felt herself in danger of her father’s violence” (Joyce, 1904, par. 5). Therefore, she did not want to become a target of violence and abuse, because her brothers used to be the primary victims of the beatings. Thus, the characters deal with their own memories in different ways, where Michael merely recalls his past, and Eveline justifies her current decisions. The impact on their lives is also divergent since Michael’s present state is not influenced by these memories. In the case of Eveline, her remembrance of her promise to her mother makes her abandon her dreams of leaving home. It is stated: “she knew the air
Background Information According to the case study, Firestone and Ford found themselves in a safety crisis. The crisis emerged after many deaths and injuries occurred due to the defective tires. Hundred of lawsuits were filed by the families of the affected victims. The case also shows that most of these accidents involved the Ford Explorer. Firestone recalled over 6.5 million tires in August 2010. This recall became the biggest auto safety crisis in the country’s history. The first reported accident was in Saudi Arabia. Ford argued that the accident must have been caused by extreme climate and low pressure experienced in the region. The company also conducted studies in the US and concluded that the tires were effective. However, NHTSA’s investigations identified the possibility of tire failures. A blame game emerged between these two giant companies. Firestone decided to inspect most of the tires without recalling them. The company also promised to replace every unsafe tire. The company believed that the process would result in customer satisfaction. The chairman of Ford also failed to respond effectively to the crisis. The company allowed Jacques Nasser to become the spokesperson. According to Firestone, Ford Explorers fitted with different tires were also experiencing similar rollover problems. Firestone also indicated that its decision to recall the tires was a strategy aimed at promoting consumer-confidence. What Ford Did Wrong According to the case study, Ford argued that its vehicles were secure and safe. It blamed Firestone for the tire failures that led to my deaths and injuries. This malpractice is against the Contractual Theory . The theory focuses on the agreements developed by businesses and their customers. The theory also encourages business partners to collaborate and make appropriate decisions. Such decisions will eventually produce the best outcomes. The company failed to cooperate with Firestone thus resulting in more adversities. As well, the Due Care Theory persuades manufacturers to address the needs of their respective consumers. This is the case because they have the required advantages and resources. They should therefore focus on superior products that will fulfill the expectations of the consumers. Ford did not support the needs of the victims. It blamed Firestone for the tire problems and instead adjusted to bigger tires. These approaches did not respond to the needs of the customers. Ford’s actions were also against the Social Costs View . This model is
Introduction Antonia Susan Byatt, in the story “The Thing in the Forest”, provides her interpretation of the well-known scenario of encountering the symbolic monster. The writer invites us to search how one can or should act when faced with mysterious supernatural beings that, in this case, represent deep psychological trauma. However, unlike the fairytales and myths of the past that convey the importance of confronting one’s fears, Byatt describes how the actions of encountering the latter may vary for different people. In this regard, the author tells the story of two girls – Penny and Primrose – who once saw “the Thing” in the forest. Such an experience deeply traumatized both heroines and affected the rest of their lives. For instance, both of them failed to create families and chose professions related to children’s development. However, at some point, the main characters decide to face the monster again to reassess their past experiences and “move forward”. For that reason, the current essay seeks to discuss the symbolism behind the monster story and analyze how Penny and Primrose understand and cope with the traumatic incident. The symbolism of the Story Since ancient times human beings have personified the danger and unknown that they encounter. Many of the mythical stories that describe terrible creatures are still of great interest and importance to the modern audience. Although most of us do not believe in the existence of such beings, we consciously or unconsciously feel that they present some part of our reality as symbols. For instance, dragons – a very popular and common image in many cultures – represent the evil, chaos, and dangerous side of life. Contrary, all the stories with monstrous figures also have heroes who confront the former. As a result of such conflict, protagonists gain something of high value, which often includes fame, respect from others, and material benefits. Therefore, the wisdom of ancestors, which is inherited through these stories, suggests that only by facing danger and chaos can one achieve something important. “The Thing” that Penny and Primrose encountered symbolically represents the evil and pain associated with the human experience that revealed itself due to ongoing war. The fathers of both kids’ died during the military actions, and – although it is not mentioned directly – both girls could see other terrible images of warfare. Therefore, the monster that they encountered has many characteristics of modern civilization. For instance, the writer describes “the Thing” as having “trailed veils and prostheses of man-made materials, bits of wire netting, foul dishcloths, wire-wool full of pan scrubbings, rusty nuts and bolts” (Byatt 402). Moreover, many features of the beast resemble dead bodies, such as the terrible odor of “bad eggs”, “opaque white eyes,” and “the color of flayed flesh, pitt
Islam is a belief that is grounded on the teachings of the Quran and the prophetical teachings of Mohammad. In the 10 th century, Islam was the prevailing religion, covering above a half of the identified world. It is one of the religions documented to have spread rapidly over a period of three centuries. Hence, it was influenced by several factors. Religion ideologies and philosophy The fact that Islam has held a dear place in the hearts of its followers supposes that force was not used to convert them. As observed in the world today, many Islam converts come from Christianity but never do Muslims convert to Christianity. Such observations are based on the ideology held and taught by the religion. The Quran, their holy book has teachings that are moving with promises of better and realistic life in this world and after death (Arberry 12). The Islam sharia laws are inclusive and all-encompassing. They depict and cover the way of life of people, written and formatted in a way that accommodates all people. The Sharia laws appeared realistic than the laws that are taught in other religions and never followed. Further, the unending efforts by the Muslims to spread their religion coined and ingrained in their hearts leaves a long lasting effect on the hearts of people who convert to it. The religion emphasizes on living and enjoying the good by living an exemplary life that appeal to diverse people throughout the world. Tolerance to other religions Despite the criticisms and prejudices against Islam by the western civilizations and Christians, Islam proved to be tolerant religion (Toynbee 246). Muslims are also recorded to have tolerated Christians to a higher extent according to the teachings in the Quran more than the Christians tolerated them. For example, in the 17 th century, Russian Christians exposed Muslims to harsh treatment as compared to the Ottoman’s treatment of conquered Christians. Muslims also were more persuasive in converting other religions to Islam. It is argued that, if Christians could have controlled vast regions like Islam did, some religions could have been exterminated due to brutal force applied by Christians. Despite, the obligation of Muslims to use force to compel and exterminate other religions, they seem to have been more tolerant, that led to its rapid expansion. New converts were given time to learn and apply the principles of Islamic faith in life exhibiting how tolerant it was to people. Due to such process, local variations of pre-Islamic customs remained and were practiced in many areas all over the world. Use of force Although, many Muslims refute this claim, Islam used their religious obligation as explained in the Quran to forcefully spread their religion. Use of Jihad was common among the Islam fanatics that gave their life for the sake of their religion. During the life of Mohammad, Islam was largely expanding through military conquests of neighboring cities and lands. Battles were fought and those conquered were either forcefully converted to Islam or killed. The rapid expansion of the Arab Empire is attributed to use of military force in the spread of Islam. This empire
Due to the fact that Canada plans to integrate the international market as the member of APEC, it should concerned with the agreement of India with other Asian countries. What is more crucial is that Canada is more oriented on the Asian market, as it is aimed at enhancing its impact on trade by forming multilateral agreements. In its turn, India is planning to oust Western companies from invading Asian trade spaces. Then, another important reason that is crucial to consider is that India’s attempts to form a Large Trading Group is a significant step to the development of Asian market enhancement of its position. This means that Asian trade space will be greatly advanced by this treaty thus decreasing the impact of Westerns countries. When talking about Pan Asian trading block, it should be stressed that this treaty is more beneficial for poor and developing countries that would obtain more advantages for an economical development. Therefore, those countries may perceive a slight pressure from powerful western blocks. By gaining the trust of Pan Asian block and concluding free trade agreements with Asian countries, Canada will easily penetrate to a desirable space, which was its initial aim. Moreover, a peaceful cooperation with those countries will be advantageous of Canada as well, as the country will manage to keep pace with all agreement concluded within Asian block. On the other hand, the establishment of Eastern alliance as a result of globalization positively influences an easier penetration of goods and services. This process is also carried out to maximize the profits of both corporations and investors. Therefore, Canada’s concern with this agreement is quite grounded. As it has been previously acknowledged, the newly appeared trading block has become one of the most influential powers in the East, as it has managed to activate hidden resources in the developing countries and the existed ones in prospering countries of the third world. Therefore, the leading Western countries should do their best to gain confidence of Asian trade alliance, a fast-developing market that has much in store in financial terms. The first stage of Western trade integration lies in meeting halfway with free trade agreement terms. In other words, Canada or other developed economies should eliminate the limits existed between the East and the West instead proposing the equal terms for trading. This solution wou

Introduction This paper is designed is to explain and give a comprehensive security review including the hacking footprinting of Google, Inc. It answers eight questions that cover the areas of footprinting, social engineering, web server and application vulnerabilities and threats, and finishes by discussing Structured Query Language injections. Google, Inc. The Company Google, Inc. is a multinational American state corporation that has been offering services in the fields of internet search, advertising technology, and cloud computing since 1998 when it was first incorporated as a private company (Miller, 2007, p. 10). ). This company came to birth from a genius idea of two computer science students, Sergey Brin and Larry Page, and it has since grown to serve major businesses in the global market. This multinational company has a vision of organizing the world’s information to make it accessible and useful universally to all who need it. In line with this vision, it runs more than one million data server centers worldwide and processes nearly two billion search requests every day. This organization offers a number of internet-based products and services such as the Gmail email services, Google Buzz and the Google+ social networking services among other web applications. Google uses the internet widely as well as other companies, governments and institutions for data sharing purposes. This need to exchange electronic information exposes most of this company’s computer networks and systems to internet traffic. This necessary exposure brings with it security concerns, like the possibility of a system hack, footprinting, SQL injection among others. These risks are evident since the only barriers that exist between the hacker and the company’s internal secrets could be a poorly administered firewall or poorly checked border router. Google has a team of internal security analysts who monitor and ensure that its systems are secure, but sometimes it appears more cost-effective to hire external analysts, who could be these hackers themselves. The hackers prove useful due to the experience and knowledge that they have of the system and the ability to detect any threat available. Google’s services like Gmail, among others, are among the most familiar and easy-to-use business products and services that this multinational web-based search and software provider avails to its users and clients. These web-based applications are highly susceptible to hacking due to their easy accessibility and familiarity. A good example is the recent hacking of several Google accounts of hundreds of people including senior government officials, political activists and military personnel across the United States. (Robertson, & Liedtke, 2011, p. 5). This hacking was suspected to have been done by two Chinese citizens who probably were government officials in the Chinese military. Footprinting Analysis Footprinting is the process of gathering more information about a
Introduction This paper outlines my development path into being an advanced practice nurse (APN) in the state of Illinois. The plan details the process that begins when I join the school of nursing to acquire my training. The purpose of the plan is to provide a guide that allows for the evaluation of my goals and ensures that they are clear enough (Barginere, Franco, & Wallace, 2013). Setting clear objectives in the professional quest is critical to achieving the desired results. Ensuring that the plan includes all the stages that will take place in the pursuit of growth is essential to help me remain focused on the goal at hand. APN Scope of Practice To be an APN in the State of Illinois, one must meet several standards. For a nurse to become an APN, an academic qualification of a Master’s or a Doctorate in nursing and being a registered nurse are necessary. The APN licensure is obtained through The Illinois Department of Financial & Professional Regulation; a national certification is required to receive this licensure. To get the national certification, one needs to contact a corresponding national certification agency, depending on the specialty chosen (“Steps to becoming an APN in Illinois”). To retain the APN license, completion of a minimum of fifty hours of continuous professional education yearly is necessary (State of Illinois, Illinois Center for Nursing, n.d.b). The license of an APN has four different categories based on the clinical expertise of nurses. These categories are nurse practitioners, midwives, nurse anesthetists, and nurse specialists (State of Illinois, Illinois Center for Nursing, n.d.b). The state of Illinois has strict regulatory requirements for the practice and the environment in which different APNs can work. Nurse practitioners operate in the primary care area. Midwives care for women throughout their lifespan, including gynecological care, pregnancy, and conducting deliveries. Nurse anesthetists supply anesthesia management for patients undergoing surgeries; they are also allowed to provide critical care management. Nurse specialists are nurses who have acquired advanced training in their area of practice and are capable of offering specialized treatment (State of Illinois, Illinois Center for Nursing, n.d.b). In the state of Illinois, APNs can care for patients in different areas. The nurses are allowed to provide services in licensed hospitals or ambulatory centers. To practice in hospitals, the nurses have to obtain recommendations from the medical staff of the hospitals where they are placed. APNs who work in ambulatory surgical centers require approval of committees that run these centers in order to qualify to provide nursing services. The law also requires that the nurse obtains periodical reviews from the facility to continue working (Barginere et al
I have chosen these internships because they are all designed for a medical assistant. This profession is in demand in various fields of medical services. Each of the programs has different specifics of the main specialties of the paramedic. However, all of these subspecies of medical assistant activity are interesting to me. From the first internship, I want to get a medical unit practice at a large medical organization. For the second internship, I want to strengthen my examination skills. In the third internship, my goal is the practice establishing diagnoses. The fourth internship will allow me to conduct independent treatment. The benefit of the fifth internship for me will be that I will be able to learn how to work closely with a doctor. I plan to apply for the first internship because it will satisfy my need in obtaining the missing knowledge. Applying for the second internship will allow me to obtain the skills that a medical assistant needs. I plan to apply for the third internship because this way I will be able to practically acquire the necessary manual skills. Applying for the fourth internship will allow me to master the officially approved standards of assistance volumes. I plan to apply for the fifth internship because I will have the opportunity to try a wide range of interventions. The deadline for all internships except the third is two months (for the third – one and a half months). The requirements for all internships are a certificate of proficiency in Spanish and a certificate of secondary medical education; I have both documents. My references will be my university professors (Benamrane et al., 2020). They should write me a letter of recommendation because they have the most accurate idea of my professional level.
