Bin Laden said that China is the only country in the world that Al-Qaeda cannot attack due to failures of previous attempted attacks on China. The summary describes how 8 previous Al-Qaeda terrorists failed in their missions in China, with examples such as one getting lost on a bridge in Beijing, another unable to get on a crowded bus in Shanghai, and a female terrorist getting tricked into prostitution in Hainan Island. Due to these failures, Bin Laden concluded that China is the one country that Al-Qaeda cannot provoke or attack.
Al-Qaeda is an Islamist terrorist organization founded in 1987 that carries out attacks against civilian and military targets across various countries. It follows an extreme Salafist ideology with the goal of uniting Muslim communities and restoring original Islam. Some of Al-Qaeda's major attacks include September 11th, 2001 in the US and March 11th, 2004 in Spain. The group uses the internet to spread propaganda videos and messages of fear on a daily basis in an effort to shock people and portray itself as a united global organization against the Western world. Osama bin Laden founded Al-Qaeda in 1988 and was killed in a US Navy SEAL raid in 2011 at his compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.
The United Nations is an intergovernmental organization headquartered in New York City and Geneva that aims to maintain international peace and security. It was established in 1945 when countries signed the UN Charter after World War 2. The UN has six main organs including the General Assembly and Security Council. The UN Secretary-General is the head of the UN Secretariat and there are also 15 specialized UN agencies like WHO, IMF, and UNESCO. The UN has 193 member states that pay contributions to the UN budget with the US being the largest contributor. There have been 9 Secretary-Generals since the UN's founding.
The capturing of Mosul by ISIS militants on 10 June 2014 marked a significant event that had major consequences. Over 500,000 residents fled the city as the militants gained control. In the following days, ISIS continued their offensive by taking other towns in northern Iraq. There was international concern about the group's gains and their treatment of civilians. Both the Iraqi government and other countries began discussing potential military responses to the threat posed by ISIS.
Every year, data breaches become more prevalent. There has been a 78% increase in data breaches from 2013, and the number only keeps rising. With this threat continuing to rise at an alarming rate, it is important for your organization to protect sensitive information to avoid falling victim to a data breach. We’ve compiled an infographic to explore the prevalence of data breaches in today’s enterprise organizations.

The document discusses the creation of a short film cover and magazine review spread. The creator analyzed 6 case studies of professional covers and magazines to understand conventions like typical layouts, common elements, and design techniques. For the short film poster, conventions were adopted like large title text, character images, and a simple color scheme. The poster cuts up the character images to hint at the film's action/thriller genre. For the magazine review, conventions included title, cast, images summarizing the film, and separating text and images on the page. Both the poster and review incorporated key elements while adapting the style to fit the film's theme.
The document summarizes key events leading up to and during World War II:
1) Germany signed the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact with the Soviet Union in 1939 to divide Eastern Europe between them, allowing Germany to invade Poland and starting World War II.
2) Germany continued expanding by taking the Sudetenland from Czechoslovakia against British and French appeasement efforts. Germany then occupied the rest of Czechoslovakia.
3) Germany then invaded France through the Ardennes region, trapping Allied soldiers in Dunkirk and leading to the Fall of France in 1940. Germany began bombing Britain that summer.
The document discusses setting up and managing an effective alumni office. It addresses why alumni offices are important in engaging former students and promoting the institution. It provides examples of vision statements from various universities. An ideal alumni office structure includes a faculty team and student volunteers to support activities while focusing on key areas like communication, engagement, career services and maintaining alumni data. The document also discusses budgeting, creating an annual calendar of events, and utilizing alumni data and communication strategies to better connect with alumni.
Yuyi Chen seeks a challenging position utilizing her experience in accounting, construction development management, and project management. She has over 15 years of experience supervising contractors and coordinating all aspects of construction projects from inception to completion. Her background includes managing hotel, condominium, and commercial construction projects with responsibilities such as budgeting, scheduling, procurement, and ensuring compliance.
This document analyzes spectrum sensing using an energy detection technique in cognitive radio. It evaluates the performance of energy detection at signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) of -10dB, -15dB, and -20dB. The energy detector is simple to implement and requires no knowledge of the transmitted signal. Simulation results show that the probability of detection increases with higher SNR values. Energy detection performance depends on the predefined probability of false alarm and detection in both additive white Gaussian noise and Rayleigh fading channels.

This study investigated the kinetics of extracting lycopene and β-carotene from tomato skin using near critical liquid carbon dioxide, with and without oleic acid as a co-solvent. Extractions were performed in a high-pressure autoclave at 299K and 64 bar over various time periods. The presence of oleic acid improved extraction of lycopene but decreased extraction of β-carotene. It also reduced the amount of the cis isomer form of lycopene extracted. Analysis by HPLC showed that maximum lycopene extraction with oleic acid occurred after 20 hours, compared to extraction without the co-solvent. The solubility of oleic, stearic and pal
Cohen studied the media reports of clashes between Mods and Rockers in the 1960s which were portrayed as a national problem. However, Cohen found that the actual violence was minimal and most youths present were not Mods or Rockers. The media sensationalized the events. Moral entrepreneurs like politicians and the media can generate moral panics by labeling groups as folk devils and exaggerating problems. This justifies social control but can actually increase crime rates through a deviance amplification process where crackdowns push deviants further underground and generate more deviance.
This document discusses how 9 key stills from a student film conform to the crime genre. The stills demonstrate techniques like using a dark font to set the serious tone, changing focus between a character and object to build suspense, using a barn as a bleak location to hide a hostage, employing low-key lighting and camera angles to show the gangster's dominance. Special effects, common crime film tropes like examining a dead body, and placing the title at the end of the opening scene are also used to align with crime genre conventions established by directors like Quentin Tarantino and Martin Scorsese. Overall, the stills aim to craft an atmosphere of mystery, threat, and violence befitting of the
Researching Social Media and the Digital Humanitiesinfohorizon
In many countries a range of social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, etc)are increasingly used by social actors as tools for public debate and political mobilization. Even states have recognised their potential for digital diplomacy with the US and Iranian presidents and their ambassadors tweeting to global audiences. Analysing these forms of communication are an increasing part of contemporary research. In addition, many of the tools and approaches are equally applicable to earlier periods in human history, a field collectively known as digital humanities.
The document provides writing prompts and homework assignments for a class. It instructs students to write a 200-word story about what could be in a woman's purse that would determine the main character's life. It also prompts drafting an introduction for a persuasive paper using techniques from pages 153-156 and including a thesis statement. Finally, it assigns writing a 300-word letter to bring to the next class along with a stamped envelope but without sealing the letter inside.
If your company is like most, data backup probably isn't at the top of the list of urgent problems to address. Maybe your firm thinks its data is perfectly safe.
