A SURVEY OF ENGLISH LITERATURE IN ITS HISTORICAL CONTEXT
This document provides an overview of English literature from 450-1500 CE, known as the Medieval period in England. It describes the invasion of Anglo-Saxon tribes after the Romans abandoned Britain, and the establishment of Anglo-Saxon kingdoms. It also discusses the Norman invasion of 1066 and the emergence of Middle English literature during the Feudal period from 1066-1485. The document is intended as an introduction to English literature during the Medieval era.
The Age Of Exploration
The document summarizes factors that enabled European exploration in the 15th and 16th centuries, including:
1) Economic changes and the development of joint-stock companies provided funding for voyages that would be too expensive for individual sponsors.
2) Knowledge from the Renaissance era, including astronomy and navigation tools like the astrolabe, gave sailors improved abilities to navigate oceans.
3) A new attitude from the Renaissance embraced exploration and the idea that humans could achieve great feats.
4) Existing trade routes with Africa and Asia were costly and dangerous, motivating Portugal and Spain to seek new maritime routes under sponsors like Prince Henry of Portugal.
Letter os lusiadas for colleagues and students
The document discusses an activity for a Comenius Project meeting in Portugal about the epic Portuguese poem "The Lusiads" by Luís Vaz de Camões. It provides an introduction to the poem, highlighting how it focuses on Portugal's voyages of discovery and is considered Portugal's national epic. It also includes a translation of excerpts from the poem by William Julius Mickle and a reference to "The Lusiads" in Jules Verne's novel "In Search of the Castaways." The activity at the Oceanário in Lisbon will involve discussing "The Lusiads" to provide context for its cultural significance in Portugal.
QUESTION After reading the following.pdf
Western Europeans had a limited understanding of the broader world system during the 15th century, according to the documents. Document 1 describes differing European views on the extent of inhabitable land, showing disagreement and uncertainty. Document 2 describes unfamiliar religious practices in India, indicating limited prior exposure. A historian would say Western Europeans were in a peripheral position, as the documents suggest their knowledge was incomplete and they were just beginning maritime expansion and encounters with other cultures.
1 - The Renaissance
The document provides an overview of the Renaissance period in England, including its historical context and key events. It notes that the Renaissance marked a transition from the medieval to the modern world and a rebirth of letters, with an emphasis on humanism, humanity's dignity, and the importance of present life. The Renaissance in English literature is often subdivided into periods like the Elizabethan and Jacobean Ages and spanned roughly the 16th century, though definitions vary. Important figures and events that influenced literature at this time included Henry VIII and the English Reformation that made him head of the Church of England.
The history of Tourism
The history of tourism began with early humans traveling on foot to find food and shelter. As civilizations developed, travel became more common for trade, government, and religion. The Roman Empire expanded travel routes and amenities. Travel declined in the Middle Ages but grew again during the Renaissance. The Grand Tour era saw wealthy Europeans traveling for education. Mass tourism emerged in the 1800s with improved transportation like trains, boats, and later planes, enabling the middle class to travel for leisure.
Constanta
Constanta is the oldest city in Romania, located on the western coast of the Black Sea. Originally called Tomis, it has a long history dating back over 7,000 years. Tomis was an important Greek colony and trade hub from the 7th century BC. It later came under Roman rule and was renamed Constantiana in the 4th century AD. Constanta saw significant development in the late 19th century as Romania's main port on the Black Sea, driving economic growth through maritime trade. Today, Constanta remains an important cultural and economic center as well as Romania's largest port.
Tourism Presentation.pptx
The history of international tourism can be categorized into 6 periods:
1. The Empire Era from ancient times to the 5th century CE saw the beginnings of organized travel for governmental, commercial, educational, and religious purposes facilitated by factors like safe roads and common languages.
2. Travel declined during the Middle Ages due to less safe transportation and fewer common currencies or languages, but started increasing again during the Renaissance Era as trade routes reopened and interest in travel for commerce and pleasure grew.
3. The Grand Tour Era from the 17th to late 18th century saw wealthy English travelers embarking on luxurious educational tours of Europe, establishing travel as a status symbol that spread throughout the continent.

1) The document discusses the emergence of modern states in 15th-16th century Europe through the rise of strong monarchies like France, England, Spain, and Russia.
2) It focuses on Spain, describing the union between Castile and Aragon under the Catholic Monarchs Ferdinand and Isabella, and their efforts to centralize power and expand territories through conquest and marriage alliances.
3) The Age of Discovery led Portugal to find a sea route to India by exploring along the west coast of Africa, with later Spanish expeditions reaching the Americas while seeking a route to Asia under Columbus.
History of tourism
Early travel was localized as people moved on foot to survive and satisfy curiosity. As civilizations developed and empires rose, travel became more common for governmental, commercial, educational, and religious purposes. During the empire era of the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans, the middle class had more money and time for travel, aided by safe roads, currencies, languages, and legal protections. Travel declined in the Middle Ages but regained popularity during the Renaissance, driven by merchants expanding trade routes. The modern tourism industry emerged in the 18th-19th centuries as the Grand Tour exposed the wealthy to other cultures and Thomas Cook organized the first tours for masses. Mass tourism boomed in the 20th century alongside economic prosperity, new transportation technologies
Accounting history
This document provides an overview of the history of accounting from ancient times through the medieval period and discusses key developments. It discusses some of the earliest evidence of accounting found on clay tablets from ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt dating back to 3500 BC. It then covers accounting practices in ancient civilizations like China, Greece, and Rome. During the medieval period, accounting focused on monitoring property and resources, as seen through systems like the Domesday Book in England and manorial accounting. The document sets the stage for the seminal work of Luca Pacioli and the development of double-entry bookkeeping in the 15th century.
As we have seen in previous modules, there has been an explosion o.docx
As we have seen in previous modules, there has been an explosion of interest in studying the Transatlantic Slave Trade, its volume, direction, and, as we will see in future modules, its effects on Europe and Africa. Nevertheless, a glaring gap remains in the literature on the role of West Africa. In Module 3, we examined African societies and states prior to and during the Transatlantic Slave Trade era. While the readings for that module present a concise narrative of a larger region of Africa, the information can be daunting and difficult to understand on its own. Students in the United States often have only a limited knowledge of African history, a topic that is not studied sufficiently in American schools. Furthermore, Africa in the period 1500 to 1800 consisted of thousands of different languages and ethnic groups, dozens of kingdoms and other political entities, and various regional climates.
Lázaro Luis, map of Western Africa, 1563.Click on the image to view in full-size.
A new approach to understanding Africa’s history of the slave trade is to take micro or regional approaches. The Voyages database now allows scholars to estimate which particular regions of Africa supplied most of the captives in the trade. Using this information, scholars conducted case studies of individual regions of West Africa, or, in the case of the historian we will study in this present module, an individual port town.
Africa is perhaps the most diverse continent in the world, consisting of a multitude of languages, ethnic groups, climates, and geographies. These differences shaped the continent’s history. Moreover, prior to and during the era of the Transatlantic Slave Trade, there were massive political changes in the Western portion of the continent (new political entities rose and fell with significant regularity, for example) that shaped the evolution of the trade.
Compounding the complexities of studying the trade, European nations had shifting experiences in trading with West Africa. Some European ships traded mainly with one particular region of West Africa in order to develop relationships and establish ties with communities. For example, Portuguese merchants tended to trade predominantly in the region in the modern nation of Angola, while English merchants traded heavily in the regions in the modern nations of Ghana and Nigeria. The French, on the other hand, traded overwhelmingly with the regions in the modern nation of Senegal. However, some European traders took the opposite approach and visited several different regions during individual voyages to diversify the ethnic origins of their slaves.
Individual African communities also had shifting experiences in the trade, exporting many captives in one era, tapering off their connection to the trade in another era, and re-entering the trade again decades later. Given the number of variables involved, arriving at a cohesive narrative of African history during this era is rather complicated.

The document discusses Portuguese exploration and war between 1415-1762. It notes that Henry the Navigator led the conquest of Ceuta in 1415, marking the beginning of the Portuguese Empire. Portuguese explorers explored the coast of Africa throughout the 15th century, crossing the Cape of Good Hope in 1488 and establishing colonies in Brazil in 1500. Portugal ruled Goa on the east coast of India from 1510-1580. The Portuguese fought the Ottoman Empire for control of trade routes. Portugal was ruled by Spain from 1580-1640, until gaining independence after the Thirty Years War.

Accounting
This document provides an overview of the history of accounting from ancient times through the Renaissance period. It discusses early forms of accounting in Mesopotamia, Egypt, China, Greece, and Rome. Key developments included the use of writing for accounting purposes in Mesopotamia as early as 3500 BC, and the more advanced record keeping systems that developed in ancient civilizations as commerce and governments grew larger. During the medieval period in Europe, accounting focused on monitoring property and tax collection. The document then describes the emergence of double-entry bookkeeping in 14th century Italy, marking the birth of modern accounting practices.

Biological Old Regime
Up until 18th century, humans everywhere lived within this same set of environmental constraints to the generation of wealth.
World existed within “biological old regime”
Very little surplus wealth generated
“Pie” is finite. The only way you get a bigger slice is by taking it from someone else.
This is a “world of limited good”
Europe exists on the periphery of global commerce. Global wealth largely concentrated in Asia.

Thinking about Empire
By 1450, much of global commerce shaped by break-up of Mongol empire and replacement by others
How did empire’s work?
This was a system for getting more pie by taking it from someone else.
Extracting revenue and recruits
Trade as low hanging fruit; Mongols and others had an interest in promoting it in order to tax it.
Coopting local elites vs. direct administration; work for us and have your titles confirmed, or die.
Incorporating local custom: little effort to impose universal laws beyond those related to revenue and recruit extraction.
Administering a huge territory is very expensive
> efficiency = > centralized rule = < toleration = > chance for rebellion = > cost

Old World Trading Circuits Refined
Polycentric Trade
Each circuit had a predominant group, but no single group controlled it all
Force not used to keep goods flowing—no rules on what must be sold or purchased where and from whom
Ships sailed w/ goods w/o naval escorts, as all had an interest in good outcomes.
No one party attempted to dominate trade—corner the market
Trade a conduit for cultural, technological, and commercial exchange—protected from danger for the mutual benefit of all parties involved

The Big Gambler Resort, Hotel & Casino is the pride and joy of Pebbles, Inc. There are over seven thousand spacious suites, designer shopping, world-class dining, and incredible entertainment. The location also includes a theatre where very well-known acts perform year round. The venue has an estimated seating capacity of 5,000. Typically, the theatre books a resident performer for 9-12 months at a time. Most recently, they signed on Brianne Smalle – a chart topping twenty-five year old pop sensation – to begin performing in the next 30 days. Unfortunately, Brianne has just been arrested after a multi-state car chase. To make matters worse, when she was finally stopped, the police found proof of major involvement in an international drug ring. In addition to her charges of DUI, she is now being accused of various charges related to the drug ring including money laundering, drug trafficking, human trafficking, kidnap and murder.
The Non-Gambler Expo & Convention Center was opened in 2002 to respond to the demands of the city. The Expo & Convention Center boasts over 2 million square feet with exhibit space of 1.5 million square feet. The location is central and is walking distance from over 100,000 guest rooms. The Convention Center is in the process of undergoing major renovations in order to accommodate the technology needs and desires of their guests and vendors. The intention was to complete the renovations by the end of the summer. Unfortunately, the main contractor, Trust Us Construction, is three months behind schedule due to the main project manager’s recent problems with gambling addiction.

Iranian Women and Gender
Relations in Los Angeles
NAYEREH TOHIDI
In California, the popular face of immigration tends to be either Latin American or
Asian, but large numbers of immigrants who come from other regions in the world,
especially the Near East, have been quietly reshaping California demography. In this
study, Nayereh Tohidi focuses on the Iranians who have come to Los Angeles in the
wake of the 1979 Iranian revolution, largely middle- and upper-middle-class Tehrani-
ans who have fled the repressive policies of the current post-Shah, fundamentalist
regime. But American freedoms have offered particular challenges to Iranian immi-
grants, especially women, who tend to have "more egalitarian views of marital roles
than Iranian men," in Tohidi's words, a "discrepancy" that has led to "new conflicts
between the sexes." Thus, Iranian women immigrants are at once freer than their
sisters in Iran, more conflicted, and more in need of a "new identity acceptable to
their ethnic community and appropriate to the realities of their host country." Tohidi
is an associate professor of women's studies at California State University, Northridge.
She directs a new program in Islamic Community Studies at CSUN and is also a re-
search associate at the Center for Near Eastern Studies at the University of Califor-
nia, Los Angeles. Tohidi's publications include Feminism, Democracy, and Islamism in
Iran (1996), Women in Muslim Societies: Diversity within Unity (1998), and Global-
ization, Gender, and Religion: The Politics of Women's Rights in Catholic and Muslim
Contexts (2001).
I mmigration is a major life change, and the process of adapting to a newsociety can be extremely stressful, especially when the new environ-
ment is drastically different from the old. There is evidence that the im-
pact of migration on women and their roles differs from the impact of
the same process on men (Espin 1987; Salgado de Snyder 1987). The mi-
gration literature is not conclusive, however, about whether the overall
effect is positive or negative. Despite all the trauma and stress associated
with migration, some people perceive it as emancipatory, especially for
women coming from environments where adherence to traditional gen-
der roles is of primary importance. As [one researcher] said, "When the
traditional organization of society breaks down as a result of contact and
collision .. . the effect is, so to speak, to emancipate the individual man.
Energies that were formerly controlled by custom and tradition are re-
leased" (Furio 1979, 18).

I
Quiz # II-Emerson Quiz
General: For Emerson, truth (or Spirit) is indwelling in the Universe, expressed through
nature and man and perceived through Reason (or Intuition) rather than just
understanding (reason, logic). All things are potentially microcosms, containing the
germs of all Truth, and so are not to be read as logical arguments
Here are some quotes from "Self Reliance," Choose one and explain what Emerson
means in your own words in 500 words. Due at our next meeting-Oct. 31, 2013
1. "Speak your latent conviction, and it shall be the universal sense"
2. We but half express ourselves, and are ashamed of that divine idea which each of
us represents."
3. "Society everywhere is in conspiracy against the manhood of everyone of its
members."
4. "Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind."
5. "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin oflittle minds, [famous Emersonism]
adored by little statements and philosophers and divines. With consistency a
great soul has simply nothing to do."
6. "The centuries are conspirators against the sanity and authority of the soul."
7. "Life only avails, not the having lived. Power ceases in the instant of repose."
[another famous Emersonism]
8. "Just as men's prayers are a disease of the will, so are their creeds a disease of the
intellect. "
9. 10. "In the Will work and acquire, and thou has chained the wheel of Chance, and
shalt sit thereafter out of fear from her rotations .... Nothing can bring you peace
but yourself." .

Abstract
Aims: Personality of managers affects their managerial style and their conflict management method. This study was
performed with the aim of investigating the relation between personality traits, leadership styles and conflict management
methods in a military unit.
Methods: This cross-sectional correlation study was performed on 200 senior managers of a military unit in Qom who were
selected by available sampling method. The leadership style was investigated by leadership styles questionnaire and
managers’ personality traits were investigated by NEO questionnaire and their conflict management method was studied by
Robbins questionnaire. Data was analyzed by SPSS 16 using descriptive and inferential statistical methods.
Results: The benevolence-consolatory imperative leadership style was the most frequent style (65.5%) and compatible
personality was the most observed characteristic (19.5%). The extrovert personality had positive relation with participatory
management style. There was a significant positive relationship between the extrovert personality and management style
score. In addition, there was a significant positive relationship between neuroticism and incompatible style.
Conclusion: The benevolence-consolatory imperative leadership style is the most frequent style and compatible personality
is the most observed characteristic among the studied unit’s senior managers. There is a significant positive relationship
between solution-seeking and controller methods of managing conflict and management style score and there is a significant
negative relationship between neuroticism and management style score.
Keywords: Personal Traits, Management Styles, Conflict Management, NEO Questionnaire
Introduction
In the current era, understanding the personality of
individuals is necessary in many situations of life.
Managers' personality is effective in the process and
choice of conflict resolution method and management
style. Research shows that there is a significant
correlation between personality traits and style of
conflict management. An indifferent or impassive
manager passes the issue and ignores it, while another
manager shows serious reactions [1]. Therefore, for
achieving organizational go.

Final Research Project - Securing IoT Devices: What are the Challenges?
Internet security, in general, is a challenge that we have been dealing with for decades. It is a regular topic of discussion and concern, but a relatively new segment of internet security is getting most attention—internet of things (IoT). So why is internet of things security so important?
The high growth rate of IoT should get the attention of cybersecurity professionals. The rate at which new technology goes to market is inversely proportional to the amount of security that gets designed into the product. According to IHS Markit, “The number of connected IoT devices worldwide will jump 12 percent on average annually, from nearly 27 billion in 2017 to 125 billion in 2030.”
IoT devices are quite a bit different from other internet-connected devices such as laptops and servers. They are designed with a single purpose in mind, usually running minimal software with minimal resources to serve that purpose. Adding the capability to run and update security software is often not taken into consideration.
Due to the lack of security integrated into IoT devices, they present significant risks that must be addressed. IoT security is the practice of understanding and mitigating these risks. Let’s consider the challenges of IoT security and how we can address them.
Some security practitioners suggest that key IoT security steps include:
1. Make people aware that there is a threat to security;
2. Design a technical solution to reduce security vulnerabilities;
3. Align the legal and regulatory frameworks; and
4. Develop a workforce with the skills to handle IoT security.
Final Assignment - Project Plan (Deliverables):
1) Address each of the FOURIoT security steps listed above in terms of IoT devices.
2) Explain in detail, in a step-by-step guide, how to make people more aware of the problems associated with the use of IoT devices.

History of tourism
Early travel was localized as people moved on foot to survive and satisfy curiosity. As civilizations developed and empires rose, travel became more common for governmental, commercial, educational, and religious purposes. During the empire era of the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans, the middle class had more money and time for travel, aided by safe roads, currencies, languages, and legal protections. Travel declined in the Middle Ages but regained popularity during the Renaissance, driven by merchants expanding trade routes. The modern tourism industry emerged in the 18th-19th centuries as the Grand Tour exposed the wealthy to other cultures and Thomas Cook organized the first tours for masses. Mass tourism boomed in the 20th century alongside economic prosperity, new transportation technologies
Accounting history
This document provides an overview of the history of accounting from ancient times through the medieval period and discusses key developments. It discusses some of the earliest evidence of accounting found on clay tablets from ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt dating back to 3500 BC. It then covers accounting practices in ancient civilizations like China, Greece, and Rome. During the medieval period, accounting focused on monitoring property and resources, as seen through systems like the Domesday Book in England and manorial accounting. The document sets the stage for the seminal work of Luca Pacioli and the development of double-entry bookkeeping in the 15th century.
As we have seen in previous modules, there has been an explosion o.docx
As we have seen in previous modules, there has been an explosion of interest in studying the Transatlantic Slave Trade, its volume, direction, and, as we will see in future modules, its effects on Europe and Africa. Nevertheless, a glaring gap remains in the literature on the role of West Africa. In Module 3, we examined African societies and states prior to and during the Transatlantic Slave Trade era. While the readings for that module present a concise narrative of a larger region of Africa, the information can be daunting and difficult to understand on its own. Students in the United States often have only a limited knowledge of African history, a topic that is not studied sufficiently in American schools. Furthermore, Africa in the period 1500 to 1800 consisted of thousands of different languages and ethnic groups, dozens of kingdoms and other political entities, and various regional climates.
Lázaro Luis, map of Western Africa, 1563.Click on the image to view in full-size.
A new approach to understanding Africa’s history of the slave trade is to take micro or regional approaches. The Voyages database now allows scholars to estimate which particular regions of Africa supplied most of the captives in the trade. Using this information, scholars conducted case studies of individual regions of West Africa, or, in the case of the historian we will study in this present module, an individual port town.
Africa is perhaps the most diverse continent in the world, consisting of a multitude of languages, ethnic groups, climates, and geographies. These differences shaped the continent’s history. Moreover, prior to and during the era of the Transatlantic Slave Trade, there were massive political changes in the Western portion of the continent (new political entities rose and fell with significant regularity, for example) that shaped the evolution of the trade.
Compounding the complexities of studying the trade, European nations had shifting experiences in trading with West Africa. Some European ships traded mainly with one particular region of West Africa in order to develop relationships and establish ties with communities. For example, Portuguese merchants tended to trade predominantly in the region in the modern nation of Angola, while English merchants traded heavily in the regions in the modern nations of Ghana and Nigeria. The French, on the other hand, traded overwhelmingly with the regions in the modern nation of Senegal. However, some European traders took the opposite approach and visited several different regions during individual voyages to diversify the ethnic origins of their slaves.
Individual African communities also had shifting experiences in the trade, exporting many captives in one era, tapering off their connection to the trade in another era, and re-entering the trade again decades later. Given the number of variables involved, arriving at a cohesive narrative of African history during this era is rather complicated.

The Big Gambler Resort, Hotel & Casino is the pride and joy of Pebbles, Inc. There are over seven thousand spacious suites, designer shopping, world-class dining, and incredible entertainment. The location also includes a theatre where very well-known acts perform year round. The venue has an estimated seating capacity of 5,000. Typically, the theatre books a resident performer for 9-12 months at a time. Most recently, they signed on Brianne Smalle – a chart topping twenty-five year old pop sensation – to begin performing in the next 30 days. Unfortunately, Brianne has just been arrested after a multi-state car chase. To make matters worse, when she was finally stopped, the police found proof of major involvement in an international drug ring. In addition to her charges of DUI, she is now being accused of various charges related to the drug ring including money laundering, drug trafficking, human trafficking, kidnap and murder.
The Non-Gambler Expo & Convention Center was opened in 2002 to respond to the demands of the city. The Expo & Convention Center boasts over 2 million square feet with exhibit space of 1.5 million square feet. The location is central and is walking distance from over 100,000 guest rooms. The Convention Center is in the process of undergoing major renovations in order to accommodate the technology needs and desires of their guests and vendors. The intention was to complete the renovations by the end of the summer. Unfortunately, the main contractor, Trust Us Construction, is three months behind schedule due to the main project manager’s recent problems with gambling addiction. The convention center has a major exposition scheduled in two weeks for Fine China and Crystal of The World.

Iranian Women and Gender
Relations in Los Angeles
NAYEREH TOHIDI
In California, the popular face of immigration tends to be either Latin American or
Asian, but large numbers of immigrants who come from other regions in the world,
especially the Near East, have been quietly reshaping California demography. In this
study, Nayereh Tohidi focuses on the Iranians who have come to Los Angeles in the
wake of the 1979 Iranian revolution, largely middle- and upper-middle-class Tehrani-
ans who have fled the repressive policies of the current post-Shah, fundamentalist
regime. But American freedoms have offered particular challenges to Iranian immi-
grants, especially women, who tend to have "more egalitarian views of marital roles
than Iranian men," in Tohidi's words, a "discrepancy" that has led to "new conflicts
between the sexes." Thus, Iranian women immigrants are at once freer than their
sisters in Iran, more conflicted, and more in need of a "new identity acceptable to
their ethnic community and appropriate to the realities of their host country." Tohidi
is an associate professor of women's studies at California State University, Northridge.
She directs a new program in Islamic Community Studies at CSUN and is also a re-
search associate at the Center for Near Eastern Studies at the University of Califor-
nia, Los Angeles. Tohidi's publications include Feminism, Democracy, and Islamism in
Iran (1996), Women in Muslim Societies: Diversity within Unity (1998), and Global-
ization, Gender, and Religion: The Politics of Women's Rights in Catholic and Muslim
Contexts (2001).
I mmigration is a major life change, and the process of adapting to a newsociety can be extremely stressful, especially when the new environ-
ment is drastically different from the old. There is evidence that the im-
pact of migration on women and their roles differs from the impact of
the same process on men (Espin 1987; Salgado de Snyder 1987). The mi-
gration literature is not conclusive, however, about whether the overall
effect is positive or negative. Despite all the trauma and stress associated
with migration, some people perceive it as emancipatory, especially for
women coming from environments where adherence to traditional gen-
der roles is of primary importance. As [one researcher] said, "When the
traditional organization of society breaks down as a result of contact and
collision .. . the effect is, so to speak, to emancipate the individual man.
Energies that were formerly controlled by custom and tradition are re-
leased" (Furio 1979, 18).
My own observations of Iranians in Los Angeles over the past eight
years, as well as survey research I carried out in 1990,1 reveal that Iranian

I
Quiz # II-Emerson Quiz
General: For Emerson, truth (or Spirit) is indwelling in the Universe, expressed through
nature and man and perceived through Reason (or Intuition) rather than just
understanding (reason, logic). All things are potentially microcosms, containing the
germs of all Truth, and so are not to be read as logical arguments
Here are some quotes from "Self Reliance," Choose one and explain what Emerson
means in your own words in 500 words. Due at our next meeting-Oct. 31, 2013
1. "Speak your latent conviction, and it shall be the universal sense"
2. We but half express ourselves, and are ashamed of that divine idea which each of
us represents."
3. "Society everywhere is in conspiracy against the manhood of everyone of its
members."
4. "Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind."
5. "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin oflittle minds, [famous Emersonism]
adored by little statements and philosophers and divines. With consistency a
great soul has simply nothing to do."
6. "The centuries are conspirators against the sanity and authority of the soul."
7. "Life only avails, not the having lived. Power ceases in the instant of repose."
[another famous Emersonism]
8. "Just as men's prayers are a disease of the will, so are their creeds a disease of the
intellect. "
9. 10. "In the Will work and acquire, and thou has chained the wheel of Chance, and
shalt sit thereafter out of fear from her rotations .... Nothing can bring you peace
but yourself." .

Abstract
Aims: Personality of managers affects their managerial style and their conflict management method. This study was
performed with the aim of investigating the relation between personality traits, leadership styles and conflict management
methods in a military unit.
Methods: This cross-sectional correlation study was performed on 200 senior managers of a military unit in Qom who were
selected by available sampling method. The leadership style was investigated by leadership styles questionnaire and
managers’ personality traits were investigated by NEO questionnaire and their conflict management method was studied by
Robbins questionnaire. Data was analyzed by SPSS 16 using descriptive and inferential statistical methods.
Results: The benevolence-consolatory imperative leadership style was the most frequent style (65.5%) and compatible
personality was the most observed characteristic (19.5%). The extrovert personality had positive relation with participatory
management style. There was a significant positive relationship between the extrovert personality and management style
score. In addition, there was a significant positive relationship between neuroticism and incompatible style.
Conclusion: The benevolence-consolatory imperative leadership style is the most frequent style and compatible personality
is the most observed characteristic among the studied unit’s senior managers. There is a significant positive relationship
between solution-seeking and controller methods of managing conflict and management style score and there is a significant
negative relationship between neuroticism and management style score.
Keywords: Personal Traits, Management Styles, Conflict Management, NEO Questionnaire
Introduction
In the current era, understanding the personality of
individuals is necessary in many situations of life.
Managers' personality is effective in the process and
choice of conflict resolution method and management
style. Research shows that there is a significant
correlation between personality traits and style of
conflict management. An indifferent or impassive
manager passes the issue and ignores it, while another
manager shows serious reactions [1]. Therefore, for
achieving organizational go.

Final Research Project - Securing IoT Devices: What are the Challenges?
Internet security, in general, is a challenge that we have been dealing with for decades. It is a regular topic of discussion and concern, but a relatively new segment of internet security is getting most attention—internet of things (IoT). So why is internet of things security so important?
The high growth rate of IoT should get the attention of cybersecurity professionals. The rate at which new technology goes to market is inversely proportional to the amount of security that gets designed into the product. According to IHS Markit, “The number of connected IoT devices worldwide will jump 12 percent on average annually, from nearly 27 billion in 2017 to 125 billion in 2030.”
IoT devices are quite a bit different from other internet-connected devices such as laptops and servers. They are designed with a single purpose in mind, usually running minimal software with minimal resources to serve that purpose. Adding the capability to run and update security software is often not taken into consideration.
Due to the lack of security integrated into IoT devices, they present significant risks that must be addressed. IoT security is the practice of understanding and mitigating these risks. Let’s consider the challenges of IoT security and how we can address them.
Some security practitioners suggest that key IoT security steps include:
1. Make people aware that there is a threat to security;
2. Design a technical solution to reduce security vulnerabilities;
3. Align the legal and regulatory frameworks; and
4. Develop a workforce with the skills to handle IoT security.
Final Assignment - Project Plan (Deliverables):
1) Address each of the FOURIoT security steps listed above in terms of IoT devices.
2) Explain in detail, in a step-by-step guide, how to make people more aware of the problems associated with the use of IoT devices.

The document summarizes Anthony Lewis's book "Gideon's Trumpet", which details Clarence Earl Gideon's struggle for justice and freedom. Gideon, an indigent man accused of a crime, demanded counsel be appointed to him but was denied. He took his case to the Supreme Court, arguing this violated his civil rights. Ultimately, the Court ruled in Gideon's favor, establishing the precedent that states must provide legal counsel to criminal defendants who cannot afford private attorneys. The book examines Gideon's case and its impact in establishing this important civil liberty. It demonstrates how even a poor individual can challenge unjust laws and effect meaningful change through the legal system.

In Innovation as Usual How to Help Your People Bring Great Ideas .docx
In Innovation as Usual: How to Help Your People Bring Great Ideas to Life (2013), Miller and Wedell-Wedellsborg discuss the importance of establishing systems within organizations that promote not only the creativity that results in innovation, but also make it possible for employees to bring innovative ideas to fruition. Miller and Wedell-Wedellsborg argue that a leader’s primary job “is not to innovate; it is to become an innovation architect, creating a work environment that helps . . . people engage in the key innovation behaviors as part of their daily work” (p. 4). Such a work environment must be reinforced by innovation architecture—the structures within an organization that support an innovation, from the brainstorming phase to final realization. The more well developed the architecture and the simpler the processes involved, the more likely employees are to be innovators.
For this assignment, you will research the innovation architecture of at least three companies that are well-known for successfully supporting a culture of innovation. Write a 1,500-word paper that addresses the following:
1. What particular elements of each organization’s culture, processes, and management systems and styles work well to support innovation?
2. Why do you think these organizations have been able to capitalize on innovation and intrapreneurship while others have not?
3. Based on what you have learned, what processes and systems might actually stifle innovation and intrapreneurship?
4. Imagine yourself as an innovation architect. What structures or processes would you put in place to foster a culture of innovation within your own organization?
Include in-text citations to at least four reputable secondary sources (such as trade journals, academic journals, and professional or industry websites) in your paper.

Invitation to the Life Span
Read chapters 13 and 14.
Objectives:
Describe psychosocial changes in adulthood.
Describe and analyze personality theories that apply to adulthood.
Analyze the physical and cognitive changes that occur during late adulthood.
Adulthood and Late Adulthood
Introduction
The last module began an examination of adulthood. This module will finish the study of adulthood and begin a look at late adulthood.
Psychosocial Development in Adulthood
Erikson's seventh stage of generativity vs. stagnation occurs during this stage. Being generative means truly caring about the next generation (e.g., being a parent, teacher, coach, or conservationist) (Boeree, 2006b). The idea of a mid-life crisis has been a popular notion since the 1970s (see Berger's description of Levinson's research on page 459), but very little evidence for it exists. Modern personality theorists have backed off the word crisis, which implies a do-or-die decision point, and instead have started using terms like marker events, turning points, or passages (Sheehy, 1976).
Abraham Maslow created another prominent theory of personality development (examine his five stages of the hierarchy of needs in Berger, 2010, Figure 13.1, p. 457). The lowest level, physiological needs, must be satisfied first, followed by the others in ascending order. Because people spend so much time satisfying the four lowest needs, very few reach the highest stage of self-actualization, where people live up to their potential; at one point, Maslow estimated the percentage of self-actualizers to be around 2% (Boeree, 2006a). Numerous longitudinal studies have shown evidence of considerable stability and continuity in personality across the adult years (see Berger's discussion of Costa and McCrae's research).
Robert Havighurst (cited in Newman & Newman, 2010) states that adults in their 20s and 30s must face four developmental tasks. Tasks 1 and 2, marriage and childbearing, are affected by societal expectations (called the social clock). The probability of divorce hits its peak 2 to 4 years after marriage. Qualities for a successful marriage include similarity in personal characteristics, trust, sensitivity, and adjustment (including a mutually satisfying sexual relationship, economic factors, sleep patterns, food patterns, and toilet habits) (Kimmel, cited in Newman & Newman, 2010). Task 3 involves work, and includes four components: having technical skills, handling authority relationships, coping with unique demands of the job, and establishing and maintaining interpersonal relationships. Task 4 involves establishing a lifestyle that is compatible for both spouses (as well as dealing with constraints placed on the marriage by the children) (Newman & Newman, 2010).
For adults in their 40s and 50s, Havighurst (cited in Newman and Newman, 2010) discusses three crucial developmental tasks. Task 1 involves managing a household, including the following sub-tasks: 1) decision-making (about fina.

Homework Exercise 7 - Derivatives
1) On June 21, 2011, the GE’s stock closed at $18.81 per share. The accompanying table lists the prices for GE’s exchange-traded options. Using this data, calculate the payoff and the profit for each of the following September expiration options, assuming that at the September expiration the value of the stock was $17.72.
a) Call option X = $17
b) Put option x = $17
c) Call option x = $19
d) Put option x = $19
e) Call option x = $15
f) Put option x = $21
2. It is mid July. You believe that Walmart stock which is currently priced at $53.00 will appreciate significantly over the next several months. A long-term equity call option (LEAPS) with an expiry in mid January and a strike price of $52.50 is available at a price of $2.50. You have $10,600 to invest. You consider 4 alternatives:
a) Use your entire amount of funds to buy the stock outright
b) Use the entire amount to purchase the stock on margin. Assume that the minimum margin requirement is 50% and that you will pay 7% (annually) on borrowed funds.
c) Use the entire amount of funds to buy LEAPS call options with the January expiry date.
d) Buy options for 200 shares and use the rest of the money to buy government bills paying 1% per year. (hence figure on 6 months of interest).
For simplicity ignore any brokerage charges Calculate the net gain or loss from each strategy as of mid January assuming that the price of stock is:

3) One of the financial instruments that attracted so much hostile fire in the analysis of the recent financial crisis were “Synthetic Collateralized Debt Obligations” (synthetic cdos) which used “synthetic debt” as its collateral. Describe how you could use a combination of risk free investments and derivatives to create the same pay-off / risk profile as if you were holding a corporate bond, say for IBM. Explain how the pay-off / risk profile is the same (a) if the company remains afloat and pays all of its debt obligations on time or (b) if the company defaults on its debt obligations.
4) A stock is currently priced at $50. The risk free interest rate is 10% per year. What is the value of a call option on the stock with a strike price of $45 due in one year?
a) Using the Binomial valuation approach, assume that at the end of one year the value of the stock could either have increased to $60 or decreased to $40.
b) Using the Black-Scholes model, assume that the annual volatility (standard deviation) of the stock price is 25%.
5) On June 29, 2010 the S&P 500 stood at 1308.44. The one year futures price on the index was 1278.7. The 1 year risk free rate was 0.238%. Using the Spot-Futures Parity relationship, calculate the annualized expected.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
