It will also elaborate how Roman poet Ovid combine elements from each of these earlier poets’ versions to make his own version of the myth in his poem, the Metamorphoses (OM 374-381). In general, the paper will discuss and analyze the differences and similarities among several versions from different aspects including characters, features, techniques and others.
According to ancient Greek myth, there were three separate tribes of the mythical, one eyed giants known as Cyclops, or Cyclopes. One of them is the Ouranian Cyclopes, who was the offspring of Gaea and Ouranos. Besides, there is also another Cyclops called the mason-Cyclopes, who represents workers in Hephaestus’s forge. The third one is the shepherd-like Cyclopes, who was neighbors of the island-dwelling Polyphemus, who was a son of Poseidon (Weinstock, 2013). Based on the description of the Cyclopes in the ancient Greek myth, one feature that is present in all these Cyclopes is that they had one unique anatomy. In addition, they all had a single round eye in the middle of their foreheads. In fact, the eye, according to the Greek poet Hesiod, is the source of their name.
In Greek, Cyclops means “circle-eye.” These giants .

The document discusses California becoming the first state to pass a law in 1999 legalizing electronic contracts and signatures. The law aims to ensure electronic contracts and signatures have the same legal standing as paper contracts. However, the law only applies when parties agree in advance to electronic transactions and excludes some transactions like wills and certain consumer protection agreements. While the law will significantly impact contract law in California and nationwide, its full effects remain to be determined through future legal cases involving electronic contracts.

· WEEK 1: Databases and SecurityLesson
· Databases and Security
Databases are in just about everything we use today. When you are performing any task, think to yourself, Does this involve a database in some way?
As a daily process, communication occurs between people by many mediums, but there is no other medium more utilized than the large internetwork of computer systems we know as the Internet. When we look at some of the transactions that are performed on a daily basis, it is highly likely that there is a database involved. For example, if you open a web page to www.google.com and type a keyword in the textbox to search for, this process starts a series of searches through multiple databases. Another example is when searching for a book in the APUS library, this search is conducted using a database of books known as a catalog. so databases play an integral part in our daily lives; they store millions of pieces of data and more is collected each day (Basta, 2012).
In recent years, we find that technology has expanded to the reaches of utilities and production environments. Many of the utilities we come to rely on so heavily, such as gas, oil and electric, have been tied into the networks we use today. This interconnection allows for many new innovations in keeping everything in working order, but at the same time it also presents some very real threats to security. In reality, an intruder could take down an entire electrical grid which would remove power to millions of customers. An article in CIO Insight gives a great perspective on this and other issues in security where databases play such an important role (CIOInsight, 2011).
With the importance of securing the database infrastructure, we need to look at a multilayered approach to security. As can be seen in many security programs, multiple layers allow for strong security because it adds another roadblock that an intruder has to bypass to get to these systems. This same approach leads us to begin with the foundation of security; the CIA Triad. It all begins with the most basic approach, computer security and moves forward from that point on. Below is a detailed description of the components of the CIA Triad from (Basta, 2012):
· Confidentiality: For a system to provide confidentiality, it needs to do two things: ensure that information maintains its privacy by limiting authorized access to resources; block unauthorized access to resources.
· Integrity: This refers to the efforts taken through policy, procedure, and design in order to create and maintain reliable, consistent, and complete information and systems.
· Availability: This refers to the efforts taken through policy, procedures, and design to maintain the accessibility of resources on a network or within a database. These resources include, but are not limited to, data, applications, other databases, computers, servers, applications, files, drives, shares, and network access.

· Unit 4 Citizen RightsINTRODUCTIONIn George Orwells Animal.docx
· Unit 4 Citizen Rights
INTRODUCTION
In George Orwell's Animal Farm, the assertion that "all animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others" signals the breakdown of any semblance of a fair society. We have probably all experienced it: a situation where someone who was better connected, more influential, or in a position of power could advance far beyond the position or actions of the common person. On a typical day, this happens in travel, restaurant seating, the selection of a church pew, and the line at the grocery store.
It should not, however, happen in our public services. As citizens, we all have rights, and we all have the same rights. That is the beauty of the United States's democratic government structure, and perhaps one of the most cherished aspects of it. Economic and social diversity aside, when we interact with the government, we expect to receive the same treatment, whether we are a Rockefeller or a plumber. The reality is that this balance of citizen rights is difficult to achieve, because in many cases, those wielding power and influence attempt to trump equity.
TOGGLE DRAWERHIDE FULL INTRODUCTION
Inherent in the concept of citizenship is the exchange wherein citizens give allegiance to a nation and receive protection offered by that nation. Citizens therefore have certain privileges in the eyes of the nation, such as the right to vote, to pay taxes, and to refuse certain actions, such as reciting the Pledge of Allegiance because it refers to God. There are benefits and entitlements that the citizen can demand from the government. These rights are balanced by responsibilities, such as upholding the law, participating in government, and engaging in the same privileges previously mentioned.
In this unit, issues of the middle class, the welfare state, and what constitutes citizenship will be examined based on the concept of citizen rights.

As in past years, computer systems do not simply record transactions of business, but essentially drive the main business procedures of the enterprise. In such a situation, superior management and business managers do have worries concerning information systems. Auditing is a methodical process by which a proficient, independent person impartially obtains and assesses evidence concerning assertions about a financial entity or occasion for the reason of outlining an outlook about and reporting on the extent to which the contention matches to an acknowledged set of standards. Auditing of information systems is the administration controls assessment inside the communications of Information Technology. The obtained proof valuation is used to decide if systems of information are defensive assets, maintenance reliability of data, and also if they are efficiently operating in order to attain organization’s goals or objectives (Hoelzer, 2009). Auditing of Information Systems has become an essential part of business organization in both large and small business environments. This paper examines the preliminary points for carrying out and Information system audit and some of the, techniques, tools, guidelines and standards that can be employed to build, manage, and examine the review function. The Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) qualifications is recognized worldwide as a standard of accomplishment for those who assess, monitor, control and audit the information technology of an organization and business systems.

· Part I Key Case SummaryThis case discusses the Union Carbid.docx
· Part I: Key
Case Summary
This case discusses the Union Carbide gas leak that occurred in Bhopal, India in 1984. Over five thousand people were killed and hundreds of thousands were injured after water inadvertently mixed with methyl isocyanate (MIC) causing the release of a deadly gas. The plant in Bhopal was a pesticide production facility that served the increasing demand of India’s thriving farming industry. However, uncontrolled zoning allowed the plant to be built within close proximity to a densely populated region. While the plant was initially profitable, market changes negatively impacted revenue forcing budget cuts that led to the decay of maintenance and safety practices. There are several theories as to why the incident occurred such as a disgruntled employee’s maliciousness or an accidental contamination. Over several years, Union Carbide paid out hundreds of millions of dollars to the survivors and ultimately ceased to exist, while the community continues to struggle with the aftermath of the disaster.
Main Critical Issues (the list):
· India’s officials adopted careless zoning practices and allowed the construction of the plant near dense population.
· The proper safety procedures were not followed and the equipment was not being properly utilized as designed. UCIL managers placed a higher weight on cost cutting than on safety, resulting in the reduction of maintenance and safety practices.
· Union Carbide Corp. did not require frequent reporting from its subsidiary in India (UCIL), which allowed malpractices and unsafe systems in the Bhopal plant to go unnoticed.
· Union Carbide Corporation and UCIL had an ethical obligation to warn the surrounding community of potential dangers of living close to the pesticide plant
· If the case, the disgruntled employees action to sabotage the plant to take vengeance
· Employees and supervisors in the Bhopal plant did not follow numerous policies and routines that could have prevented the tragedy (e.g. acting upon the alarming increase in the tank pressure, instead of postponing it to after the tea break).
· The residents were not informed of what actions to take in the event of a toxic leak or accident.
· The employees did not use the emergency buses to evacuate surrounding residents.

( Sam’s only criticism of her was that she seemed to live to work). Because Sam does not care about the employee satisfaction, Andrea can not get more spiritual benefit even get good salary. People may have different level of the job satisfaction. In this case, Andrea work long hours, she may feel very stressful, she is happy with cognitive job satisfaction, but not with the affective job satisfaction.

Article
SYNCRETISM AND ITS SYNONYMS: REFLECTIONS ON CULTURAL MIXTURE by CHARLES STEWART
(If you would like to read the article from which this excerpt was taken, you can find it in Doc Sharing.)
The subject matter of anthropology has gradually changed over the last twenty years. Nowadays ethnographers rarely search for a stable or original form of cultures; they are usually more concerned with revealing how local communities respond to historical change and global influences. The burgeoning literature on transnational flows of ideas, global institutions, and cultural mixture reflects this shift of attention. This increased awareness of cultural penetration has, furthermore, been instrumental in the critique of earlier conceptions of “culture” that cast it as too stable: bounded, and homogeneous to be useful in a world characterized by migrations (voluntary or forced), cheap travel, international marketing, and telecommunications… In this body of literature the word syncretism has begun to reappear alongside such related concepts as hybridization and creolization as a means of portraying the dynamics of global social developments.
My purpose in considering the history of syncretism up to the present is not to enforce a standard usage conformed to the domain of religion; nor is it my goal to promote syncretism to a position of primus inter pares in the company of all other terms for mixture. I see my approach instead as an attempt to illustrate historically that syncretism has an objectionable but nevertheless instructive past…
Current Discussions of Mixture
Cultures, if we still wish to retain this term (and I do), are porous; they are open to intermixture with other, different cultures and they are subject to historical change precisely on account of these influences. This has no doubt always been the case…
Cultural borrowing and interpenetration are today seen as part of the very nature of cultures… To phrase it more accurately, syncretism describes the process by which cultures constitute themselves at any given point in time. Today's hybridization will simply give way to tomorrow's hybridization, the form of which will be dictated by historical-political events and contingencies… As [Edward] Said expresses it: all cultures are involved in one another, none is simple and pure, all.

Communicating The Essence of Organizational SuccessDr. Craig
- 1. Communicating: The Essence of Organizational Success Dr. Craig Nathanson 1 What is Communication? The exchange of messages between persons for the purpose of constructing common meaning The most critical skill for managers and for self-leadership Personal power Motivation Resolving conflict Delegation and/or empowerment Facilitation Collaboration 2
- 2. 2 The Challenge – Poor communications at work Poor communication and interpersonal relationships 3 Abrasive, insensitive, unskillful message delivery Distant, distrustful, uncaring interpersonal relationships Restricted, inaccurate information, and defective communication flow 3 Traditional model of Business Communications Focus on Accuracy and Efficiency Conduit Model transmitter, receiver, noise However… 4
- 3. Recent research confirms that interpersonal problems are responsible for a significant proportion of communication problems 4 Communications is a complex process Example Terry: I won’t make it to work again tomorrow; this pregnancy keeps me nauseous and my doctor says I should probably be reduced to part time. Boss: Terry, this is the third day you have missed and your appointments keep backing up; we have to cover for you and this is messing all of us up! Message- encode- decode by receiver- message received Margin for error is high at each step! Some social psychologists estimate there is a usual loss of 40- 60% of the meaning in a message from sender to receiver! 5 5
- 4. Barriers to effective communications Language: how we say it Defensiveness or distorted perceptions Misreading of body language Self-fulfilling assumptions Managers hesitation to be candid Distrusted source Perceptual biases 6 6 Reading non-verbal cues Visual Body language, facial expression Tactile The use of touch Vocal The meaning changes through use of voice https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOkrS1v7Ywk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvEci5Bjgd4 7
- 5. 7 Reading non-verbal cues Physical space North American culture safe zones The intimate zone - our closest friends – 2 feet The personal zone- family and friends- 2-4 feet The social zone- where most business transactions take place 4- 12 feet The public zone- used for presentations- over 12 feet 8 8 It all starts with good listening skills Listen openly and with empathy Judge the content not the person Use many methods to comprehend Fight off distractions Use questions to gather data Respond with interest 9
- 6. 9 Common fears around giving feedback Fear of the other person’s reaction Only subjective data available Information may be flawed May be based on personal bias 10 10 Characteristics of effective feedback Descriptive (not evaluative) Focused on the behavior, not the person Given to help not hurt Better when solicited than imposed Timely (given when the person is ready and can use the data) Doesn’t overload the receiver The use of checking (asking the receiver to repeat what was heard)
- 7. 11 11 Good and poor examples of giving feedback https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PW2dKhqY4yU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSVJCCOCOxc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BeDd537piE 12 12 Information richness Low Impersonal communication Conveyed through documents, technology Formal written or numeric E-mails, faxes, reports
- 8. Limited or absent context Delayed and limited feedback Limited visual, audio information Audio information High Personal communication Face to face, spoken language Body and natural language Immediate feedback Verbal and non-verbal Rich visual and audio information 13 13 Communications at work Where is the most time spent? Meetings Presentations E-mail Phone conversations 14
- 9. 14 Phone communications DO Speak clearly Identify yourself when calling Ask “Is this a good time to talk?” Leave message with details, and the best time to call back Let the person know what you want them to do Don’t Hang up if you reach the wrong number Type on the keyboard while on the phone Answer the phone while speaking to a person face to face 15 15 Peer and bi-directional communications Practice effective communications and be a role model Open (professional) doors for others
- 10. Encourage new ideas Walk around a lot Encourage open dialog Be open yourself Display integrity 16 16 Cascading communications and goals Use a system highlights lowlights issues plans Distribute routine progress (weekly/monthly reports) department division company Create an open system — not a closed system 17
- 11. 17 Develop open and candid feedback Be self-aware biases assumptions Display integrity Be a role model for integrity Encourage others to display openness risk-taking and courage in communications Encourage and establish balanced work relationships 18 18 Summary Quality in = Quality out Adults are like kids. They need to be: listened to cared about given enjoyable things to do given opportunities to learn and grow 19
- 12. 19 Summary - continued Role-model integrity in all communications Take positive risks in all communications Always over-communicate 20 20
