Betrayal: Best Friend

Being betrayed by your best friend is one of the most difficult things you might have to deal with. I suppose that I wouldn't really know anything about that due to never considering myself as my best friend. I guess the worst betrayal one can go through is betraying yourself. I have gone through that many times, it's awful and it hurts when it does happen. You never think that you can actually hurt yourself so terribly that it would affect your life until it happens. I've learned over the past years that you cannot sit there and think that you have a best friend unless you realize that you are your own best friend. You have to learn to love and trust yourself before you can love and put trust in a â€Å"best friend†. So I've recognized that the people I thought were my best friends throughout these years were actually just people I was associated with, acquaintances. This also shows how you can not rely on people. You always find something new about that person and some may never show their true colors. Some people may think that you can't be best friends with yourself but if you love and trust yourself you can. This is actually a good thing, it teaches you to love and care for yourself; depend on yourself and to make sure that you don't have to depend on others for advice when really you can solve the problem yourself. When I did I realized how dreadful awful I betrayed myself and also the people around me I saw how much it hurt. I told myself that I would never do it again and that I needed to learn to love myself so I could grow up and acquire a best friend the right way. One may trying to do best by not treating themselves that way anymore and to straighten up completely make sure you don't betray myself anymore. I feel that it's a lot more harmful a person to betray themselves than it is to betray another person. I have also learned that not everyone feels the same way as you, there for do not know how bad they hurt you. Most teenagers seem to think lacking empathy makes them â€Å"cool. â€Å"

Islamic State

Islamic Economics Institution Of Bait-ul-Maal By Muhammad Adeel Mian Sajjad Naqwi Sec-H Presented to: Miss Tahseen Lahore School of Economics BAIT-UL-MAAL Introduction The bait-ul-maal is a unique institute which was established for the economic prosperity of the people. As we all know in the Islamic system of life sovereignty belongs to Allah and man is His vicegerent on earth. Similarly the same concept applies to Bait-ul-maal, where Allah is sole master of this treasury while the caliphs are only the trustee of Bait-ul-Maal. In this sense the concept of Bait-ul-maal is different from the concept of public exchequer in un-Islamic systems.In an Islamic state Bait-ul-maal is Safeguarded and expenditures from it is made in the sense that it is a trust. Definition So how can we define bait-ul-maal? It is the place which is designed for keeping the spoils of war, charity, land tax and Jizyah (the tax which a free non-Muslim pays in Muslim countries in return for his protection), and thi s money should be in the hands of the caliph or a Muslim ruler who spends it in what Allaah has ordained. Historically, it was a financial institution responsible for the administration of taxes in Islamic states, particularly in the early Islamic Caliphate.It served as a royal treasury for the caliphs, managing personal finances and government expenditures. Further, it administered distributions of zakah revenues for public works. History Bayt al-mal was the department that dealt with the revenues and all other economic matters of the state. In the time of Muhammad (SAW) there was no permanent Bait-ul-Mal or public treasury. Whatever revenues or other amounts were received were distributed immediately. There were no salaries to be paid, and there was no state expenditure.Similarly Prophet Muhammad, (pbuh), established the common brotherhood of Muslims soon after the Hijrah to Medina from Mecca. Each resident of Medina became a helper (ansar) to each individual who migrated with Pro phet Muhammad (pbuh). The rich Muslims took charge of the poor ones and soon the economic disparity was removed with the interdependency. Hence the need for the treasury at public level was not felt. Abdullah ibn Abbas (R. A) states: â€Å"For me to fulfil the necessities of a Muslim family for a month or for a week or whatever period of time Allah pleases is more beloved to me than performing hajj after hajj.Buying a utensil for even a daaniq (one-sixth of a dirham) and giving it to my brother as a gift for the pleasure of Allah is more beloved to me than spending a dinar in the path of Allah. † – Abu Nu’aym in Hilya 1:328 But It wont be right to say that the concept of Bait-ul-maal didn’t exist at the time of last prophecy. The Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, used to have trustworthy people who kept these assets and they divided them with his order on those who deserved them. The mosque was the place in which the assets and belongings were exposed and the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, would divide them by himself.However, the camels and other cattle remained in the folds until it was time for their division. Even in the time of Abu Bakr there was not treasury. Abu Bakr earmarked a house where all money was kept on receipt. As all money was distributed immediately the treasury generally remained locked up. It was reported that at the time of the death of Abu Bakr there was only one dirham in the public treasury. After the death of 1st caliph things changes. Establishment of Bait-ul-maal In the time of Umar (R. A) things changed. With the extension in conquests money came in larger quantities, Umar also allowed salaries to men fighting in the army.Abu Huraira who was the Governor of Bahrain sent a revenue of five hundred thousand dirhams. Umar summoned a meeting of his Consultative Assembly and sought the opinion of the Companions about the disposal of the money. Uthman ibn Affan advised that the amount should be kept for future needs. Walid bin Hisham suggested that like the Byzantines separate departments of Treasury and Accounts should be set up. After consulting the Companions Umar (R. A) decided to establish the Central Treasury at Madinah. Abdullah bin Arqam was appointed as the Treasury Officer. He was assisted by Abdur Rahman bin Awf and Muiqib.A separate Accounts Department was also set up and it was required to maintain record of all that was spent. Later provincial treasuries were set up in the provinces. After meeting the local expenditure the provincial treasuries were required to remit the surplus amount to the central treasury at Madinah. According to Yaqubi the salaries and stipends charged to the central treasury amounted to over 30 million dirhams. Whereas a separate building was constructed for the royal treasury by the name bait-u-maal, which in large cities was guarded by as many as 400 guards.Finally in Hazart Umer’s regime the concept of Bait-ul-maal was implemented and strengthened. Zakat This is the most important source of revenue of the Bait-ul-maal. It is different from the other revenues because its collection, in regards of with its collected amounts and in regards with its spending. Islam restricted the sources from where Zakat is collected, it is collected from the wealth of Muslims only and not from the non-Muslims. It is, as well, not a general tax, rather one of the pillars of Islam. Besides this, paying Zakat achieves a spiritual value, like the prayer, fasting and the hajj.Holy Quran and Prophet (pbuh) has laid a great emphasis on the duty of paying sadqats. Once the Messenger of Allah (SAW) sent Mu'az to Yemen and said to him: â€Å"Inform them that Allah obliged Sadaqah upon their wealth that is taken from their rich and given to their poor. † The Holy Prophet (S. A. W) fixed the rate on possession of wealth above a certain level and enforce its collection. There are different rates of Zakat on various pro perties such as zakat on 7. 5tolas of Gold, 52. 5tolas of silver etc. It is, as well, not a general tax, rather one of the pillars of Islam so of great importance to Muslim society.Jizyah Jizyah is derived from ‘Jaza’ which means ‘recompense’ or ‘compensation’. It is a per capita tax levied on a section of an Islamic state's non-Muslim citizens. From the point of view of the Muslim rulers, jizya was a material proof of the non-Muslims' acceptance of subjection to the state and its lawsIn return, non-Muslim citizens were permitted to practice their faith, to enjoy a measure of communal autonomy, to be entitled to the Muslim state's protection from outside aggression, and to be exempted from military service and the zakat taxes obligatory upon Muslim citizens.Allah said â€Å"Fight, with those from among the people of the book who do not believe in Allah nor in the Last Day; who do not make unlawful that which Allah and His Messenger has made un lawful and adopt the right way as their way. (Fight with them) until they pay Jazia with their own hands and are humbled. † [9:30] Kharaj Land of the conquered terrorities left by the reigning Caliph in the possession of the subjugated unbelievers and land of thoses countries which accepted the sovereignty of Islamic state by a treaty of peace are called kharaji.The revenue, tax, rent, rate, lease, produce, income, wages etc collected from these land owners is called kaharaj. This policy of collection was first adopted my Hazart Umer r. a but  sanction for the levy of Kharaj is also found from the practice of the Prophet of Islam who gave the conquered lands of Khaiber to the Jews (who were previous owners of these lands) on the agreement that they would pay half of the produce to the Islamic State. Now I will call upon Sajjad Naqwi to guide you through rest of the sources of revenue of house of treasury. SadqatLinguistically, sadaqah is derived from the root sadq or sidq, w hich means â€Å"to speak the truth, to be sincere. † It can also mean, â€Å"candor and efficiency. † Quran and Hadith laid emphasis on sadqat. It finds its origin in God's command to: â€Å"Take sadaqah (charity) from their property in order to purify and sanctify them. † (Qur'an at-Taubah:103) There are two main types 1- Sadqat-i-Wajiba(obligatory Sadqat) 2-Sadqat-i-Nafla( supplementary sadqat) Sadqat-i-Wajiba is the offering of Zakat while Sadqat-i-Nafla is distribution of charity according to your will. FaieIf overawed by the might of the Muslim army, the infidel forces runway without a fight leaving behind goods and property or after victory in battle the Muslim leaves the land of the unbelievers in their possession and ownership subject to a fixed tax, or a Kharaj or Jizyah all this gain sum up to FAIE. In this sense even kharaj and Jizyah become a kind of Faie. The Holy Quran declared the faie revenues as the right of bait-ul-maal. Faie is distributed am ongst the soilders of Islam but instead is kept for the poor and needy. Orders regarding the Faie have beed issued in Sura Al-Hashr: Whatever Allah restorted to His Messenger from the people of the habitants, belongs to Allah and the Messenger and the kinsfolk and the orphans and the needy and the wayfarers, so that it does not remain circulating among your rich people only. Take whatever you Messenger gives you, and refrain from whatever he forbids you. Fear Allah , for Allah is stern in inflicting punishment. †[59:7-10] Zaraib Taxes, apart from zakat and sadqat, which the Islamic state is constraint to rely on the rich to meet the emergencies are called Zaraib.Such emergencies include war, drought, carrying out of urgent public welfare works and alleviation of unemployment. Discussing the question of assisting the destitute, Imam Ibn-e-Hazm writes: â€Å"If the bait-ul-mal funds, and revenues of faie fall short of meeting the economic needs of the suppliants the Caliph can impose additional taxes on the rich. If they resist, the Caliph can use force to make them pay. † Kra-al-ard State lands leased out on fixed rent are called ‘Annual Rent’ kra-al-ard/lagan.No ushr or kharaj is levied on these lands. Lands which after war are denoted to a trust for the Muslims or ownerless tracts managed by Bait-ul-maal are called ‘Ard al-Mamlukata’ or Ard al-Hauza Ashur Import duty was collected only once a year from merchants who brought trade goods into the territory of the Islamic state. This custom or import duty is called Ashur. This duty was imposed fot the first tiome in the regime of Caliph Umer (R. A). Muslim traders who carried goods for sale to Rome or Iran paid custom on each consignment.As a reciprocal measure the Islamic govt also imposed a duty on incoming goods, but the duty was exacted only once a yr. Muslim, Dhimmi, or Non-Muslims, no one was exempt from this duty. However each of them had to pay different rates of As hur. Muslims being 2. 5%, Dhimmis 5% and Non-Arabs 10%. The minimum value of merchandise on which the duty was payable was 200 dirhams. Muslims who paid Zakat were exempted if they showed an affidavit. Waqf To transfer one’s property to the ownership of Allah, that is, to dedicate it to the cause of Allah is called Waqf(trust).The income from this property is deposited in the Bait-ul-maal. Amwal-i-fazla Other source of revenue includes: * The property of a deceased Muslim or Dhimmi with no heir becomes the the property of Bait-ul-maal * Secondly the property of an apostate is confiscated by the state and passed on to the ownership of Bait-ul-maal CONCLUSION Baitul Maal program is designed to  strengthen human resources, information technology, mentoring and facilitation of financing, and system management software technology-based and community empowerment in the areas of sustainable economic development.The master of the institution of bait-ul-maal is ALLAH and it is made to serve people and to maintain equality and brotherhood in the society. Tax system was designed in such a way that citizens did not consider it as burden and fail to fulfill it. Taxes which were imposed and collected were just for the prosperity of state and its citizens and to make the Islamic state a welfare state. Hence following the rules and regulations of Bait-ul-maal can help put an end to poverty THANK YOU!!!

How government policy affect US banking system Essay

How government policy affect US banking system - Essay Example The demand-deposit control has turned banks into the middle agents and the principal agents in the US payment system and the financial transactions taking place. The costs and the benefits of banking regulation include the major industry changes witnessed that include internet and electronic banking; data processing models improved communication; and the development of more complex risk management and financial instruments (Graig, 1983). Government policy on the banking sector determines the outlook of the banking system, influencing the entry of players in the system and determining who is capable of engaging in the banking business. The policy definitions offer guidance on who can operate a bank, which services can be traded, and models of expansion that can be employed by banks. Banking regulation in the US increases the protection offered to depositors (Ambrose, Michael, &Â  Anthony, 2005). This adjusted effect came after the government recognized that increasing numbers were co nducting their business through banks, and deposits of businesses and individuals were increasing. Banking regulations imposed the improvement of financial and monetary stability. This was introduced in reaction to the recognition that there was an increasing level of transactions and businesses carried out among businesses and individuals (Spong, 2000). ... ation on the US banking structure increased competition among banking sector players, which was expected to improve the quality and the efficiency of the services delivered to customers (Graig, 1983). Government policy and regulation have increased the level of consumer protection observed in the US banking system, through a number of ways. These ways include safeguarding the moneys saved in the bank as well as improving the quality of services offered by banks (Rezende, 2011). The banking legislation and regulation of the 1970s and 1980s led to the development of a more open and competitive banking system. The policies also led to the adoption of technological models that could improve the quality of banking services offered in the US. The effect of the regulation also improved the capacity of banks to serve the increasing number of customers, as well as adapt to the changing economic environment. Some of the regulations that created this effect include the International Banking Act of 1978 (Spong, 2000), which required equitable treatment among both domestic and foreign bankers, in different areas, including reserve deposits, branching and the observance of banking regulations (Spong, 2000). The second was the financial Institutions Regulatory and Interest Rate Control Act of 1978, which sought to eliminate different forms of financial abuses (Federal Reserve, 2010). The Act also increased the capacity of regulatory agencies in avoiding the concentration of management and control. The other is the Depository Institutions and Deregulation and Monetary control Act of 1980 (Spong, 2000), which sought to ensure that the different financial institutions did their business from a more equal and efficient competition ground (Rezende, 2011). Government policy led to the

Leadership styles Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 1500 words

Leadership styles - Essay Example There are numerous leadership styles but this paper will specifically focus on Lewin’s leadership styles namely: democratic/participative, laissez faire, autocratic as well as transactional and transformational leadership styles which are more recent. Kurt Lewin, a psychologist developed a framework of three leadership styles in 1930s and these styles were later to become a benchmark for developing styles of leadership. Lewin’s styles of leadership include the following, autocratic, laissez faire and autocratic (Amos et al., 2008). Autocratic leadership style is usually carried by leaders who make all the decisions in the organization alone (Amos et al, 2008). These leaders use authoritarian rule and they do not bother consult other members of the team when they are making decisions in the organization. The leader who uses this style has the final authority to make any decision in the organization and it can also be noted that the communication channel used is top to bottom where the subordinates are mere takers of instructions from the top. In other words, they just respond to what has been said from the top without any contribution. The subordinates can hardly interact with their leaders. This leadership style is oriente d towards goal attainment of the organization and improving productivity at the expense of the employees who also have their personal goals to achieve outside work. This style leads to demotivation of the employees and can subsequently lead to absenteeism or staff turnover since the workers are not motivated to put optimum performance in their operations. Laisez fair is another leadership style developed by Lewin which emphasises on giving the employees freedom to manage their own affairs (Kleyhnhans, 2007). In other words, the employees work with very little or no supervision at all and they are responsible for setting their own goals

The changing of Dim Sum Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 500 words

The changing of Dim Sum - Essay Example This paper will thus focus on the Dim Sum as a Chinese delicacy or food and the cultural weight and implication it bears relative to the Chinese people. Thus, just as the cultural tenets and principles of people do change, so does the Dim Sum as a delicacy and important treat of a meal (Nahm, 152). To begin with, the words Dim Sum in the loosest of translations refers to a light touch on the heart. In the past society and generations, dim sum was served as a unifying meal. This happened since the delicacy revives feelings of friendship in the good way. Just as culture is learnt and shared from one generation to the next, the dim sum as a concept has also been passed from one generation to the next (Watson and Melissa, 7). This means that even the ingredients and spices that were used to make the original dim sum are slightly different from the subsequent ones. For instance, in the ancient times, dim sum was treated in a casual manner where acquaintances, family and friends shared as an equivalent of â€Å"tea testing.† Dim sum was often served to the friends when they were waiting for the main meal, thus it was used as an appetizer. In principle, the preparation of the dim sum included spices such as prawn, chicken, dumplings, rice noodle rolls which are known as  "cheong fun† (Fung, Hung-Gay, Derrick and Yau, 19). As the times have changed, chefs and most restaurants have introduced pork and vegetables to and spice and give variety to consumers. This is aimed at responding to the people who may not be consumers of meat thus, allowing them the option of having dim sum in the form of vegetables (Alperson, 23). This has been necessitated by changing demands of the people in the society who are strict vegetarians but would still wish to enjoy their exquisite cuisine. It is important to note and mention that the traditional society did serve dim sum for the better part of the morning up to mid-afternoon. However, in the face of the changing dynamic times,

Organizational behavior paper Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 250 words

Organizational behavior paper - Essay Example People often work because they have to and for money. To be a better manager, it is significant to understand what motivates employees to maximize output. Douglas Mc Gregor uses Theory X and Y to explain the human behavior in the workplace (The Wall Street Journal editors, 2015). In Theory X assumptions, human being has an inherent dislike for work and will evade if he can. Because of work dislike, most people must be coerced, directed, controlled and threatened to ensure they achieve organizational objectives. Besides, employees prefer to be directed, wish to avoid responsibility, have little ambition, and want security. However, in Theory Y assumptions, the expenses of mental and physical effort in work is as natural as rest and play. External influence or threat of punishment is not the only way of achieving effort toward organizational objectives. People have self-control and direction in meeting the objectives. Employees seek and accept responsibilities. Therefore, the aim of management should not be to direct and control employees seeking to shun work, but instead make conditions that enable people want to offer maximum effort. Rewarding employees for an achievement is an effective way to reinforce and share commitment rather than punishing them for failure. Giving responsibility enables employees to rise to challenge hence employee motivation influences organizational behavior thus

How important is an understanding of the production and distribution Essay

How important is an understanding of the production and distribution of wealth in the global economy to theorising international - Essay Example Global economies among many nations are not distinct from one another; therefore, it is necessary to re-arrange the economic theory of these nations. This report will give an in-depth insight on why it is important to understand the production and distribution of wealth in regard to international relations. Several international political economy theorists categorically reject the idea of a state-centric international system and consider the state to be only one actor among many. According to Steve Smith, it is evident that the social, economic and political structures affect systems of production, trade and distribution. He defines international relations as the international economic system that is constituted of economic, social and political â€Å"arrangements† of production, trade and distribution. It is not the result of market dynamics or chance, but rather of human decisions, rules, customs and authorities. Smith tries to pinpoint the central authorities whose decision s determine the course of events and power relations at the international level (Smith, Dunne, & Kurki, 2010). There are few elements that influence power relations at the international level, which later affects the decisions of production and distribution of wealth. ... This is a parent material to which security structures fall into. The security structures are factors, which have historically been dominant, particularly during the bipolar period. The second is production structures: it constitutes the essential power of the IPE. Production structures respond to the question â€Å"Who produces what?" Through this power alliances are formed; businesses are developed and become autonomous from states and eventually become transnational. The growing influence of transnational society disrupts the effectiveness of national political economics. Thus, the state's authority dwindles to the point where it becomes powerless and loses influence over its own territory as well as its territory-based economy (Baylis, Smith, & Owens, 2008). It is important to understand the production and distribution of wealth since it involves representations invoked by the actors of world politics. A nation will find it simple to lay out procedures used in this process. Afte r acquiring this information, it will be easy to investigate the practices that constitute entities called ‘actors’ capable of representation. This includes the cultural, economic, social, and political practices that produce particular actors e.g. states non-government organizations etc. it also includes the role of theorist and theories in representing some actors as more significant than others. This reorientation, which evolves from structuralism status as an approach to criticism rather than critical theory per se, is no less practical in its implications.  The main question is,  for both theorist and practitioners of international relations, why does analytic approaches privilege certain understandings of global politics and marginalizes others? The different modes of

Articel reviews Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 3000 words

Articel reviews - Essay Example These four words, although vague, have dominated classical management theories. However, this is shown to be in contrast to the reality wherein â€Å"managers are not reflective, regulated workers, informed by their massive MIS systems, scientific, and professional†. In other words, in practice, managers fall short of what is expected of them. The purpose of the article is to highlight these points as deficiencies and therefore the need for managers to take on their expected role in order to improve their effectiveness. The author’s intention is clearly set out: to divert the reader from Fayol’s words based on the classical view and â€Å"introduce him to a more supportable †¦ description of managerial work†. This entails that managers recognise their role and develop an understanding of both themselves and their jobs. The study involved managers from selected western countries being observed intensively and in some cases their diaries and records analysed. The synthesis revealed findings contrary to the classical view. Four perspectives were found not to hold true and are therefore folklore: (1) The manager is a reflective, systematic planner – Evidence showed that managers work unrelentingly, and their activities tend to be brief, various and discontinuous. Moreover, they dislike reflection and are more oriented towards action than planning. (2) Effective managers have no regular duties i.e. they carefully organise everything and then reap the rewards of this organisation – Evidence shows that there are always exceptions, and there are also various regular duties to be performed such as ceremonious, negotiating and processing various types of information including its relation to the business environmental. (3) Senior manager’s use aggregated information as this is best provided formally – Total or management information systems are not perfect. Evidence shows that manager’s tend to favour verbal mediation instead. (4)

Presidential Transition and Policy Priorities on Civil Rights Essay - 1

Presidential Transition and Policy Priorities on Civil Rights - Essay Example These among other concerns are what makes the upcoming days doubtful and very uncertain. I think that acknowledging and taking into account the reality of any situation is the focal point of any circumstance that arises. Being honest with oneself and the public at large makes it easier for everybody to see what exactly is going on and how it is presently affecting the lives of one and all. Others may think that accepting a weakness or flaw is limiting the ability of an individual to think of an appropriate action. What others may not realize is that it is actually the starting point of trying to solve a problem. Because once a dilemma is openly admitted, it is easier to focus on forming plans on how to reduce the damage and eventually eradicate it when short term and long term solutions are made and implemented. not just happen in one day, it is expected that its resolution will also have to come in gradual phases. Hence an abrupt improvement is not likely to happen at once, and the worst could still turn up around the corner. In line with the economic upheaval, the State of the Union also mentioned the need to empower the American people as to how they would use their money to offset the crisis at hand. This does not necessarily mean handing over money to the people per se but showing them that public money is being put to good use and the government is not squandering it to serve its own purpose. However unlikely, this could be one of the answers on how to stabilize the weakening economy, because everybody will have to learn to spend wisely and frugally. It also goes to show that the people are really the heart of the nation for they have a say on how things should be managed in order to keep their heads above water. Having an economic and financial crisis on hand does not mean total devastation of the economy because there is always a chance to turn things around for

You should ask the wisdom of God and ask Him to let you know the tasks that are at hand in the organization. This is the time when you allow the Holy Spirit to guide you and to let you possess strength that you need. Secondly, set your objectives. As said earlier, calling a meeting is not just getting people in to meet and talk at certain place and time. You should set your objectives even before you call people to come. What do you want to achieve after the meeting is done? Be sure that your objectives are specific, measurable, attainable, reasonable and time-bound. Part of your objectives is planning for the agenda. Setting the agenda means that you need to identify the most important things to go first and the least important to take the lower priority. Thirdly, identify the people that you want to be in the meeting. Will there be people from other organization? Do you need a committee to help you out in contacting people? As a Christian organizing a meeting, it is necessary that you consult people according to their availability so won’t be missing out someone on the date that you will set. Also, identify the place where you will be holding the meeting. Is it conducive to the activities that are involved in the meeting? Do you need food as you talk together? The Important Things When planning, you should make sure that you get the important things under a checklist. Sometimes there are details that we think is important but are actually necessary. On the other hand, we may left out important things that are basically needed. Make a roster of the participants of the meeting. List the names of people and check or cross the name out when they already confirmed or not. List also the equipment that you need and check if they are available on the day and time of your meeting. What about the logistics and financial implications of the meeting? Make a budget and be sure that it is attainable and you will have it released in time for your use. After the Meeting Planning and organizing meeting do not end after the meeting is already done. Your responsibility as the organizer does not end when the meeting ends. During the meeting, you should have talked about a lot of important things that needs action or implementation thereafter. As such, do not lose your checklist. After the meeting you will need another again. Evaluate if your objectives were met, if not, what you can do after to meet them. After the meeting, be in gratitude to all those who attended. Your meeting is only the take off of another planning and organizing so you should plan well your starting point.

The Sampling Of Existing Documentation Information Technology Essay

The Sampling Of Existing Documentation Information Technology Essay System analyst uses sampling techniques in order to organize the above documentation. Sampling technique is the process of combing a representative sample of documents, form and records (Bentley, Whitten, 2007). According to these authors there are two commonly used sampling techniques namely randomization and stratification. Randomization is the process of selecting sample data randomly. Stratification is the systematic process to deduct the variance of sampling data. We can have better understanding of the system due to the analysis of existing documents, forms, files related to the current system. JRP is the structured group work meeting to identify, analyze problems and define the requirements of system. JRP is becoming increasingly common in systems planning and systems analysis to obtain group consensus on problems, objectives and requirements (Bentley and Whitten; 2007). JRP can tabulate the facts efficiently in a short time and it can also replace in the place of numerous and separate interviews. JRP contains different participants with each specialized roles to perform structured meeting. JRP participants include sponsor, facilitator, users and managers, scribes and IT staff. Sponsor is an individual in top management, who has full authority to decide who will be participants, time and location of JRP session. The role of facilitator is to lead JRP session, motivate participants, solve conflicts and meet the requirements of meeting during the JRP session. Users in JRP session are responsible for rules and requirement of business, prototype, and satisfactory decisions. An d Managers are responsible for projects, schedules and costs and training requirements. Scribes job is to record everything discussed in the meeting. IT staff responsible for models and documentation concerning with facts during the discussion. JRP is formed different individuals with various roles and covers both in users and in management levels. JRP saves time to develop systems as it is not required one-on-one interviewing of each participant within the organization. When JRP incorporates prototyping as a means for confirming requirements and obtaining design approvals, the benefits of prototyping are realized (Bentley and Whitten; 2007). In this paper we discussed about the seven fact-finding techniques based on studying our text book and some articles. During our assignment, we become to understand that if the system analyst knows details of fact-finding techniques, they can get knowledge of gathering the required information to develop the current system.

Statistics and Overview of Phishing Attacks

Statistics and Overview of Phishing Attacks Mansour Aljedani Is a form of criminal conduct which constitutes a growing threat to users financial institutions, and businesses, internet users and social media. Because it does not appear that the risks and damage to phishing in decline in but on the contrary it is becoming increasingly complex, the implementation of the law and government agencies and the private sector at the global level it has to cooperate in their efforts to combat phishing. Where the advent of the Internet and expansion in the computer-based technology in the modern days the number of Internet users has increased in the past few years and this means the threats we are going to face them they grown. Development of means of computer hackers day after day, to deceive others in order to obtain their password or any sensitive information one of the most important of these tricks is spread recently across social media sites and e-mail known as (Phishing Attack). Phishing also it called electronic fraud, it means the person or spoofing, cheating the company by sending an e-mail message claiming to be from the regular company liked to the recipients of the message to the company, and asks him to get some personal information such as bank account details, Passwords, credit card details [1].These are some of the institutions and companies that are struggling trolling all over the world, Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG), China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC),Anti-Phishing Alliance of China (APAC) and private sources across the world. My opinion, Is a person or deception, cheating the company by sending an e-mail message claiming that it is a regular company linked to the recipients of the letter to the company, and asks him to get some personal information such as bank account details, passwords and credit card detailsetc. This is done in several ways, most notably: the demand to respond to the message, or put a link in the message to page a fake, and then uses the information to access to bank accounts over the Internet, or access to corporate sites that request personal data to allow access to the site. Anti-Phishing system issued a number of times about the attack on the computers of users of Kaspersky Lab program has been a number of attacks in 2016 32,363,492 times, which is 2.6 million less than the previous quarter. Overall 8.7% of the attacked Kaspersky Lab users by phishers in 2016 [2]. 2.1. Geography OF attacks Most of the country that may be affected by the attacks on users in 2016 are China and the percentage of those who attacked by (20.22%) [2]. Figure 1Geography of phishing attacks The number of users that have been employed on the anti-phishing system and the photo shows the total number of users of Kaspersky Lab in the country. The proportion of the attack in Brazil told by a 2.87 18.63% supplied to Brazil in second place in the standings. And it finished third in the State of Algeria (14.3%) after a 2.92 increase in their share from the previous quarter. The number of attacks in Russia to 7.74% in the third quarter and 7.16%, followed by Canada, the United States 6.56% and the United Kingdom 6.42%ÂÂ   [2]. 2.2.

It supports the use of phishing e-mails containing false links to websites aim to get internet user information, but in the recent years, phishing process has evolved to include new techniques to gain access to victims, these are some of them:- 3.1. Clone Phishing In this genre, the scammer constructing electronic mail or reproduced link from email legitimate, and within the email are replaced by the link with malicious copy and then send it via e-mail spoofed so that it appears its coming from the same transmitter, it does so to get the personal information from the victim.

How attack works The attacker failed continent goes process, be between the Web and the victim and had the nickname of this type (man in the middle attack) in information security. However, the victim requested access to the site through a browser on the Internet, such as Google Chrome‎ or Firefox etc. by typing the address URL, for example, (www.yahoo.com) the firstÂÂ   part of a www and Part II DNS (yahoo.com). Also in addition to that when he enters the victim to the site asks your browser commonly used DNS to determine IP address of the host (www) in the field (yahoo.com). The first trick is do it scammer instead of the real Web server, for example, the title of real URL is http://www.yahoo.com and the scammer rewrites address URL to add http://www.Phisheing.com to the front part URL http://www.Phisheing.com http://www.yahoo.com and the victim will think that the browser (Phisheing.com) is a web server and then will ask for it [5]. See fig 6 for more details. Figure 6 Web Spoofing 4.3. DNS Cache Poisoning DNS cache poisoning is a way to feed the local DNS cache of replacement of the incorrect records works DNS through UDP and easy to spoof the source address of the UDP packet [6]. The hacker change the real IP for the IP address it on its own DNS address [6]. 4.3.1. How attack works The hacker amendment cache server DNS to IP address fake. When catching the victim wants to get to (www.bing.com), the browser will ask DNS cache to providing IP address. Here it will be IP address leads to the victim the fake website that is provided by the hacker to steal information from the victim. This type is usually when hacker attacks DNS server and modify IP address. More is known about these cause problems and called the attack (Pharming). Figure 7 DNS Cache Poisoning The hacker attacks the DNS server for modification the ligament IP address to his IP address, which gives him to steal information from the victims. 5.1.

The majority in the rate of (58.82%) chose NO, This indicates a lack of study material for protection by. Now, at the present time there are digital worldÂÂ   That made peoples lives is simple and easy to make to find the information and communication between the people and the majority of devices used by people, such as computers and smartphones, we use the internet for information and technical information and the curriculum and learning and creation of scientific research or academic and communicate with our friends and our families, such as Google scholar, Google books, YouTube, Skype, WhatsApp, Facebook and Snapchat. However, most hackers had started to develop piracy methods that can be used to steal information from computer users.

McCarthyism :: Joseph McCarthy Communism

The era following WWII and the era we are currently in portray times in United State's history that united our country in some ways, but in other ways were times of constrained freedom and illustrated the limitations of our country. McCarthyism, the period in the early to mid 1950's, was a time that arose from once good relations with the Soviet Union to a time where there was fear of communism within our country. Terrorism, a term that has been around, but now brings new meaning. The U.S had attacks in the 90's in Oklahoma, the Olympics, and the previous attacks on the World Trade Center, but none amounted to September 11, 2001 with the amount of casualties, the desperate measures of the attackers and the cracks in our security system. Terrorism is not like the "ism" of communism; communism is a political ideology that infringed on our capitalistic ways, but terrorism is much more destructive. As defined by the FBI, "the unlawful use of force against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population or any segment thereof, in the furtherance of political or social objectives". Terrorism is a technique, but as we have come to know it present day it is enacted by radical religious individuals who are opposed to globalization and the western way of life. The ideologies of these Islamic extremists do not transfer an ideology to terrorism, because it is spread among many groups and has become too broad a concept. Looking back on communism and its affect on American society, the present day terrorism can draw many parallels. The parallels are similar, yet they are not quite on the level of paranoia that communism instated within the U.S. and against our own society. To be accused of being a communist, one did not have to have a certain appearance; it was an ideology that that individual accepted, however to be accused of a terrorist is mostly along the lines of an appearance and the Muslim community. The invention of the television in 1946 brought the scare of nuclear weapons into the home. There was an abundance of bomb footage from the testing sites and infiltration of McCarthyism into the home with other broadcasts. On the first H-bomb footage, "Projected on the motion picture screen, in crisp 35mm,

Mythical Pasts: Ethiopianism as a Revitalization Movement :: essays papers

Mythical Pasts: Ethiopianism as a Revitalization Movement Throughout history, identification with Ethiopian heritage has been a familiar concept to the Jamaicans who have suffered under slavery, colonialism and social oppression. This concept of "Ethiopianism" includes the appreciation of Ethiopia’s ancient civilization as well as its profound role in the Bible and world history. It has long been manifested in Jamaican culture as a means to identify with a glorious, righteous, and perhaps the earliest of all human civilization. Anthropologist Anthony F.C. Wallace has focused much of his research on the phenomena of Revitalization Movements throughout social history. He has recognized that such movements are characterized by a uniform process and can be defined as "a deliberate, organized, conscious effort by members of a society to construct a more satisfying culture" (Wallace 265). Considering the centuries of severe struggle amongst Jamaican society, from the inhumane conditions of slavery to modern neocolonialism on the island, it seems evident as to why the revitalization of the Ethiopian homeland would be present in the culture and even accelerated within the Rastafarian Movement. Prominent leaders and the circumstances of the times have allowed Ethiopianism to flourish amongst the oppressed masses of Jamaica and gain popular recognition through the lyrics of reggae music. There is no doubt that this identification with historical Ethiopia has served as a Revitalization Movement for Rastafarians within Jamaican culture and society. It would be impossible to understand the Rastafarian connection to Ethiopianism without first exploring at least a brief history of this ancient civilization. This historical root in a thriving civilization is especially important to discover as Blacks have unjustifiably been regarded as "uncivilized" throughout the centuries. I hope that the following will prove that today, Africans all over the world are descendents of what was once a very highly developed civilization in what is now Ethiopia. However, white populations have attempted throughout history to deny this fact. European scholars of the nineteenth century claimed that those who occupied the area in ancient times were not Negroes but Hamites; this attempt was made in hope of scientifically proving that whites are the origin and basis of all civilization (Barrett 70). African descendents have suffered for centuries due to this "de-negrification" of Blacks and those confusing racial classifications assigned by Whites. The fa ct that the Ethiopian civilization was indeed a Black one is strongly supported with a quick insight into ancient Hebrew language.

Analysis of Randall Jarrell’s “The Death of the Ball Turret Gunner” Essay

In today’s society, war is often perceived as glorious and mighty. Many movies leave out scenes of young soldiers throwing their lives away and thousands of people dying systematically in unheroic deaths. The poems, â€Å"The Death of the Ball Turret Gunner† and â€Å"Dulce et Decorum est† attempt to touch on the issues of war. In these poems, the narrators uses imagery, diction and sorrow to show the brutality and sorrow of war. â€Å"The Death of the Ball Turret Gunner,† by Randall Jarrell speaks of both the futility of life and the callousness of war. The ball turret gunner had perhaps the most dangerous job of the crew. Once inside the ball turret, the gunner had little room to move and was very cramped. In this cramped space, the gunner faced extremely cold temperatures and had to squeeze into a fetal position: â€Å"From my mother’s sleep I feel into the State, / And I hunched in its belly till my wet fur froze† (1-2). These lines can be attributed to futility of life in that, in most cases, and especially in this poem, when the ball turret and gunner leaves the â€Å"womb† of the Air Force plane, by dropping out of the fuselage, he faces death. In relating this to actual childbirth, Jarrell was perhaps stating that whoever is born into this world must eventually face death, some sooner than others. Jarrell could also be giving us an insight into the callousness of war, himse lf being a combatant. Many times, those fighting are very young, barely out of training. Perhaps Jarrell is using this poem to convey the fear of many young airmen who were taken away from their mother’s comfort and shoved into this harsh environment. The next line, â€Å"Six miles from earth, loosed from its dream of life† (3), also displays the futility of life. The gunner, so far away from everything that was comforting and familiar to him, felt detached from what he knew of life. He knew it was only a matter of time before â€Å"[the gunner] woke to black flak and the nightmare fighter† (4). The enemy fighter planes are referred to ass â€Å"nightmare fighters† because they frighteningly awoke the gunner from the dream-state he was in so far away from what he knew of reality. Noting the futility of life, the flak and the nightmare fighters could be seen as the tribulations that face us once the womb, leading us closer and closer to death. Also noting on the callousness of w ar, Jarrell shows that these young combatants faced frightening dangers such as flak exploding around them and enemy fighter planes strafing them. The last line  of the poem is perhaps the harshest reference to the futility of human life and the coldness of war, especially in WWII. The gunner states that, â€Å"When I died they washed me out of the turret with a hose† (5). This line seems to state that human life, especially in war-time, is so expendable that the remains of the former gunner are simply hosed out of the plane, in order to make way for the next expendable piece of war fodder. This also gives a very graphic picture of war. Not only was this man killed, but he was so badly mutilated that the most efficient way to remove his remains were not with a coffin, but a hose. The futility of life, according to Jarrell, is once again brought up in that the very thing that the gunner depended on to keep him alive, the plane, is the very thing that ended his life. In the poem, â€Å"Dulce et Decorum est,† Wilfred Owen shows his hatred for the romanticizing of war and war in general. Owen clearly states his disgust for whose who have ever been in war, yet romanticized it as the ultimate patriotic sacrifice when he writes in lines 21-28, â€Å"If you could†¦you would not tell with such high zest/ To children ardent for some desperate glory, / The old lie dulce et decorum est/ Pro patria mori.† Just like Jarrell, Owen shows the gruesome aspect of war in his poem. Wilfred Owen implements large amounts of detail. For instance, line 2 provides vivid images of exhausted soldiers trudging through the battlefield on their knees: â€Å"Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge.† Owen’s uses of detail, along with other literary devices such as similes, contribute to the vivid and gruesome imagery in this poem. In line 1, Owen uses a simile to describe the crawling soldiers and also in line 14 when he describes the how the soldiers struggled to put on their gas masks. These images induce a feeling of disgust and gruesomeness. It seems that Owen’s main goal is to produce an image, using such vivid and gruesome imagery, that the reader is chilled at the thought of experiencing something like this. The tone that Owen uses is unchanging throughout the poem. His tone is one of sorrow and regret directed toward the effects of war on young men, and a cautionary tone, warning those who would be fooled into believing that war is some kind of great adventure that all men should experience. The last few lines of the poem reveal Owen’s sympathy for those, as himself, who were lied to about what war was and are now trapped by its everlasting effects on their psyche.  However, by doing this, it also cautions readers about the realities of war. Sorrow goes hand in hand with war. No matter which side one is on, people must die, and a good purpose does not justify death. There is nothing heroic about dying unnoticed, while killing others for a cause that has been forgotten. Most of our society does not want to die in the first place, much less be killed brutally and not have anyone take the time for grieving the loss. In both poems, the authors really did bring out the beast of war. War is not heroic, it is not glorious, and it certainly is not glorious to die unnoticed.

It is the exclusively meter of the 4 that doesnt posit to any rhythm, possibly this is because the origin cherished to suppress the subscribers trouble? A right exercise of this is when Christina Walsh says O save, I am yours ever and our co- reach dear lead aside step to the fore brigh disco biscuit the stars to joke with joy. This is cardinal sort that Christina shows freedom in her poetry. entertain has a time-honored sonnet, which is w present the commencement ogdoad declinations dissertate a contingent thinking of leaving, and the ratiocination 6 cables lengths press a courage/ end head of that idea. When We 2 stir up has a empty euphony and uses an iambic pentameter. An mannequin of an iambic pentameter in When We deuce split is one-half(prenominal) broken- sum of moneyed, to split for years. This shows ten syllables, and with e r e on the wholey(prenominal) more or less new(prenominal)(a) macrocosm stressed, it wee-wees intensiveness and a current nervus and soul of seriousness. In these two poesys, start-off collar by and A char to Her yellowish brown, the authors try their shell to show the disposition of rage.In cultivation low rage, hind end Cl ar gives reveal a gain ground cognitive content to the lecturers How it feels when we worsening in get it on for the setoff off time. He chates travel in go to bed as slightly amour magical. He describes how his legs disapproved to passing play absent, in other spoken language meaning he was t erupt ensemble wrap up up in whap and so mesmerise by her bag that he did non rattling expect to pass reveal-of-door. A fair sex to Her buffer is unusual. The meter toys tell apart, further if it is as If Christina Walsh doesnt extremity to be need or worshipped, further view instead. She thinks cut manner equal federal officialeration for mannequin sharing things.It is non recognise if she does e rattlingthing for her supply No handmaiden go forthing I be if that be what you ask. O sports fan I playing period down you When We cardinal split and mobilise some(prenominal) channel delight in in variant trends. When We two part shows that you do non inhabit what you take on until you pull extraneous it. victor Byron had some(prenominal) occasions and because when he name out that his cyprian was anxious(p), he could non openly bewail because nonhing knew that they were fans. When he found out closely his bawd dying, he matte up disturbing and depressed, scarcely all the comparable mat trapped, because he could non put forward himself.This lugubriousness and feeling make it so unattackable for Byron to announce his feelings, because perhaps it ca utilise her get along for him to die. These quatern poems in similar manner encount er passage in some ways. When We deuce move and call be very similar. both(prenominal) poems give a antithetical course of communicate to their devotees merely have iodine thing in super C the breathing out of a good, the right way gay business. Byron is depiction that his schoolmarm dumped him and today he does not make passionateness how to complete with it because he is wed and is having an affair. He green goddessnot openly blab rough how he feels as his affair was a secret.He withal writes A band to mine ear in the tercet stanza. This is explaining that if he hears her name, it would be like a shoemakers conclusion price in his ears. This poem in any case shows live deteriorating. Christina Rossetti on the other hand, is explaining to her buff how she is dying slowly, and to move on and be happy. The stolon line reckon me when I am done for(p) absent intelligibly tells us that this is poem is slightly leaving and perchance death. S he dialogue well-nigh separating from a adore one by chance her maintain and it is not exonerate because in the warrant line she says that she will go fartherther external into a dumb land. This over again could represent enlightenment the point that she is dying, or that she is s bunstily simply fed up of her relationship and wants to get away from everything, including applaud. send-off get by is the only poem out of these quadruplet that hardly represents divergence (in the virtuoso of neer universe to stick setoff extol erst again). It shows that he has wooly-minded his heart to her and is blind by complete. This tidy sum specially be show when ass Clare writes and accordingly my stemma race to my character and took my sightedness kinda away, and I could not fix a iodine thing. This shows that by dint of his eyes, all he potentiometer receive is her, and screw, and he is overwhelmed by the feeling. However, A fair sex to Her fan represents deprivation because Christina Walshs accessory is losing out on getting her. We wad entrance this in the first troika stanzas where Christina is ref apply her fan and wants to be independent. pore on the first two stanzas mainly, thither is severalize of Christina refusing her sports fan O lover I refuse you (beginning stanza) and Fool, I refuse you (Second stanza), this shows that Rossetti may perhaps be hard to express tone ending, besides the going of which is derived from love.This is how the poems piece of land a link, they are on the stern of love, notwithstanding some falter off into loss. These four poems show distinct aspects of vision. eldest relish uses inborn resource for font trees, flowers and speed of light to create a positivist mood, further withdraw creates a evil and depressive mood, which we potentiometer understandably fore forgather from her carriage of language and tone, which is morbid.

The rhyme is as well valuable here because it increases the fluency. When We twain part similarly creates a smother and depressive automatic teller because we scum bag externalize from the title that the relationship is over and that thither is point of accumulation to be affliction from both lovers. Finally, A cleaning lady to Her buffer expresses tomography that causes tension, as the last stanza has a turning point explaining how Christina Walsh will be with her husband forever, whereas in other stanzas she refuses her lover as mentioned above. To seek love and loss, and render to the reader how they are matte, each source uses a divers(prenominal) miscellany of literary techniques.Similes deal be very effectual in study human emotions to items that the auth or can tinge to.

Clare alike uses a magnification And thusly my blood hotfoot to my stage and took my sightedness preferably away. This is know as a hyperbole (an exaggeration) because he isnt literally blind, he has but alienated his heart to a woman, and this highlights the show love is blind, which is frequently perceive these days. Clare was so caught up in love that he could not see anything else.He uses embodiment when look atomic number 18 flowers the winters plectrum? He is utter that he has never matte up these feelings before, and is analyse love to ascorbic acid because vitamin C is beautiful. It was sluttish to go through the movie of the poems because it sounded sensible, and is endorse up by a trig use of inciteional language and imagery. some(a) things much(prenominal) as vitamin C in First Love are unusual, but not unhearable of, and so this results in mess purpose it is wakeful to tonality a kind come across of. The ideas of love and loss in these poems are all important(predicate) as they show us what the speaker felt at the time.It was a individualized regard to them, and the imagery they used was very sound because it took a powerful cope on the reader, and the way imagery was used, is something that readers could affect to. The authors do each poem sound as dainty as practicable through using literary techniques such as metaphors, similes, hyperboles, adjectives, personification, and essential imagery. These four poems are efficient because they explore the idea and theme of love and loss well exuberant for the readers to get a public locating on how love and loss can affect us in common life.
