WikiLeaks is an international non-profit organization that publishes secret information, news leaks, and classified media from anonymous sources. All of this is done through cyberspace and breaches of cyber security. WikiLeaks’ website, initiated in 2006 in Iceland by the organization Sunshine Press, claims a database of 10 million documents in 10 years since its launch. The group has released a number of significant documents that have become front-page news items. During the 2016 US presidential election campaign, Wikileaks released e-mails and other documents from the Democratic National Committee and from Hillary Clinton's campaign manager, John Podesta. These releases are believed to have caused significant damage to the Clinton campaign. The U.S. intelligence community expressed "high confidence" that the leaked e-mails had been hacked by Russia and supplied to Wikileaks, while Wikileaks denied their source was Russia or any other state. During the campaign, Wikileaks and Assange regularly promoted and popularized conspiracy theories and falsehoods about Clinton and the Democratic Party. Wikileaks has drawn criticism for its absence of whistleblowing on or criticism of Russia, and for criticizing the Panama Papers' exposé of Russian businesses and individuals with offshore bank accounts. Wikileaks has also been criticized for inadequately curating its content and violating the personal privacy of individuals. Wikileaks has, for instance, revealed Social Security numbers, medical information, credit card numbers, and other sensitive personal information. Should officers of WikiLeaks, including Assange be prosecuted? Has WikiLeaks damaged the United States or has it performed a service by revealing information that the United States citizens had a right to know. Remember, nothing that WikiLeaks has ever published has been proven to be false. .

Wikipedia has agreed for many years that there are different views about manga's history-- those who start from the postwar years (the 1950s) and those who see continuity in manga as sequential art and go back much further. Some (your prof included) see it as starting in the late 19th century, or the early 20c century. After reading (pdfs here) 1) Schodt's Chapter 2 "A Thousand Years of Manga"; 2) Gravett's 2nd chapter "Japanese Spirit, Western Learning" and 3) Ito's article, what is your stance? How far back does the history of manga go? What about the Frolicking Animals scroll or Hokusai Manga? How about kibyōshi and other forms of illustrated fiction? What are the factors that are important? Sequential art? Style? Japanese origins? Why is there so much disagreement about talking about the history of manga? .

WikiLeaks is a nonprofit organization which uses its website to publish governmental, private data, corporate or religious documents that had previously been secret. The website was started in 2006, and had over 1.2 million documents in its database by the time one year had passed. Usually, it does not give out the names and addresses of people who post documents. The site is based in Sweden. Though its name is similar to Wikipedia, it is not related to Wikipedia or the Wikimedia Foundation. The name was chosen because WikiLeaks used a wiki model at first, where people could edit the site, but it has since changed and is no longer open for editing. In July 2010, WikiLeaks was in the news for publishing over 76,900 documents related to the War in Afghanistan. In October that same year, WikiLeaks posted almost 400,000 documents that were about the War in Iraq. This was the largest ever leak of documents about the US Army. It reported mainly on deaths of civilians, soldiers, and sightings of homemade bombs or armed civilians. https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/WikiLeaks Julian Paul Assange (born 3 July 1971) is an Australian computer programmer, publisher and journalist. He is editor-in-chief of the organization WikiLeaks, which he founded in 2006. He has won numerous accolades for journalism, including the Sam Adams Award and Martha Gellhorn Prize for Journalism. Assange founded WikiLeaks in 2006 but came to global prominence in 2010 when WikiLeaks published a series of leaks, provided by Chelsea Manning. These leaks included the Collateral Murder video (April 2010), the Afghanistan war logs (July 2010), the Iraq war logs (October 2010), and CableGate (November 2010). Following the 2010 leaks, the United States government launched a criminal investigation into WikiLeaks and asked allied nations for assistance. In November 2010, a request was made for Assange's extradition to Sweden, where he had been questioned months earlier over allegations of sexual assault and rape. Assange continued to deny the allegations, and expressed concern that he would be extradited from Sweden to the United States due to his perceived role in publishing secret American documents. Assange surrendered himself to UK police on 7 December 2010 and was held for ten days in solitary confinement before being released on bail. Assange sought and was granted asylum by Ecuador in August 2012. Assange has since remained in the Embassy of Ecuador in London, and is unable to leave without being arrested for breaching his bail conditions. In 2016, WikiLeaks published the DNC leaks and the Podesta emails during the United States presidential election, 2016. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julian_Assange There are many who have credited WikiLeaks and its founder Assange for exposing the United States, and many in its government for many illegal and secret acts on the part of the United States. Others have claimed that Assange and WikiLeaks is a spy and traitor and has seriously damage.

WHYPARTIESFORM 45 equilibrium the ordinary circumstance, there would be no incentive to form a party based on the social choice problem. But even when an equilibrium exists, the political party need not make its members worse off than without the parry; they can always choose to take no "partisan" actions. With PIEs generally considered impossible, there is a strong incentive for parties to form, precisely because of the likeli- 1altves hood of disequilibrium. Riker's dismal conclusion turns out to provide a strong case for the formation of political parties. The new institutionalism (e.g., Shepsle 1979) emerged in response to the ordinary absence of (pure) voting equilibria. Two points discussed below and in later chapters are also relevant here. First, ':ss transactions many different institutional arrangements can be sufficient to yield Wus making C (structure-induced) equilibria, such as committee systems, agenda designs, and even separated powers.

Why: We will be evaluating both academic and personal perspectives of leadership. Doing this assignment helps you to analyze leadership practices by researching a personal perspective of a leader you believe was/is extraordinary and showing how the readings inform your leadership development and professional experience. o How: Complete or review the readings, videos, and instructor lectures for weeks through the week the assignment is due. Select an extraordinary leader that you would like to learn more about, someone whom you may know and gain access. Consider individuals who in some ways have made positive contributions to society, including both men and women. The leader you select may be from any walk of life (business, the arts, humanities, politics, etc.) Ask for an opportunity to conduct a phone, email or in-person interview. Consider selecting a person at your work, a professor or Northeastern community member, anyone who has a compelling story to tell about leadership. Create a preliminary list of open-ended questions to ask the person that you are profiling. Conduct the interview with the person you select. Prepare an analysis of this leader that includes the following information and connects to our readings and class learning: o Key Events: A short summary of the key events in this leaderâ s life that may have had an impact on his/her approach to leadership. Note: This is an analysis â not a biography. o Leadership Approach: Analyze your leader integrating the readings and key learning from class. Areas that your analysis should include but be limited to: o How does this leader exemplify effective leadership? Provide specific evidence for your claims. o How does this leader demonstrate certain specific leadership practices or perspectives we covered in our text and readings and discussion? o How did this leader sustain commitment and build trusting partnerships? o What were mistakes or missteps that were valuable lessons about leadership for this person? o Principles and Values: What espoused principles and values guide their approach as a leader? How are these principles or values apparent to those s/he leads? How were those values formed? o Response to Challenges: Has the leader faced significant challenges that demanded leadership? How did they react to these challenges? What do those actions say (to the Learning Team) about their leadership ability? o Results: What significant results were they able to achieve? How did their approach to leadership contribute to their results? 26/02/20 1 Measuring Consumer Behaviour Part I Week 5 Required readings Extract from another textbook (available on FLO): “Conducting research in consumer behaviour”, i.

“Why do we need to understand data visualisations? There is more and more data around us, and data are increasingly used in decision-making, journalism, and to make sense of the world. One of the main ways that people get access to data is through visualisations, but lots of people feel like they don’t have the skills and knowledge to make sense of visualisations.

At its most basic, this statement is a company’s revenues, expenses, and the difference between the two. The difference is called net income. It is important to note that revenues and profits are not the same as cash. Revenues include amounts earned which may or may not have been collected from customers yet. There could be amounts that customers had paid at an earlier time but have just been earned. There could be estimates and assumptions included as well. Expenses are not necessarily amounts that have been paid. They include expenses that have been incurred but may be paid later. There may also be amounts that were paid in an earlier time-period but are now being recognized due to the matching of revenues and expenses. Estimates and assumptions are also present in expenses. Net income is sometimes called the bottom line. It is revenues minus expenses. If expenses are more than revenues, it is called net loss. There may be important subtotals presented in the income statement such as gross profit. This subtotal is sometimes called the line. Gross profit is net sales minus cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold are costs or expenses directly related to sales such as direct labor, direct materials and overhead. Each statement will have a heading. It includes the company name, statement name and the time-period covered. An income statement covers a span of time. It is usually a company’s fiscal year but can be for shorter periods such as a month or quarter (three months).

Why the Rich are Getting Richer and the Poor, Poorer The thesis of the Paper The report " Why the Rich are Getting Rich and the Poor, Poorer opens the eyes of the audience by making them understand the unemployment that people are suffering from is because of lack of technology and education. The paper aims to make the reader understand why the rich continue to get richer and the poor poorer (Heyward 40). The author gives an introduction of three boats sailing within the economy of America. One of the boats carries the symbolist analysis; another one is the in-person servers, and the last one carries the routine producers. The author states that the Americans were once in the same boat when corporations could sell goods and services globally as this increased the purchasing power of the Americans (Berry, 13). In this part, the author introduces the reader on its main ideas of the essay and what will be covered in the essay. Supporting arguments Robert Reich supports his thesis by giving various explanations to help in the understanding of the reasons behind his arguments. First, the author talks about increasing rates of the sinking of the boats that belong to the routine producers from the time the Americans began to construct companies in the developing countries. When this happens, the employees are hired from these countries and are given the exact payments that the Americans could have earned. Meaning, the minority who depend on these industries for their survival continues to suffer and remain poor. However, the only people who benefit are the symbolic Analysts. The second argument is that the in-person server’s and the routine producers have lost their jobs because they have been replaced with modern technology. According to Reich, as much as the in-person servers suffer, they are protected from the direct impacts of global competition as compared to the routine producers who are directly affected by the issue (Heyward 16). The author states that only the symbolic analysts have their jobs in the rise as their services are demanded across the globe because they have problem-solving skills. The report also brings a clear understanding of the reason why the poor are getting poorer especially be talking about the companies replacing human efforts with the robots which are believed to be more efficient. Another argument is that the author explains that the in-person servants become even more miserable when the routine producers lose their jobs and begin board ships carrying the In-Person servants. According to the author, these people are exposed to more risks of unemployment and are threatened by the increased number of high school graduates, the high rates of immigration and the labour saving machinery (Berry, 5). He believes that the world has only created more opportunities for the symbolic analysts and they end up getting more money from selling their knowledge to those who want to make a fortune.

Why We Should Design Policy to Care for Vulnerable Populations Previous Next For the discussion, we will be reviewing the “For Your Consideration” box on page 122 of the Shi text. Shi states that we should care about vulnerable populations because of the following items: Vulnerable populations have greater health needs. The prevalence of vulnerability is influenced [by] and therefore should be remedied by social forces. Vulnerability is fundamentally linked with national resources. Vulnerability and equity cannot coexist. After reviewing this and the required background reading (and doing any additional research) discuss your thoughts on these items. As Shi asks, “Are these points valid?” (p. 122) How does this affect health administrators? Be sure to cite reliable sources in support of your answer. .
