What sorts of external trends should iRobot pay attention to? Why? Also, would they have been better off working with an established vacuum cleaner manufacturer? Why or why not? Support your opinions.
example:
iRobot and its product, Roomba, is an interesting case study. A few trends from the article resonate with me as important to iRobot to pay attention to. The article mentions the tolerance for consumer learning curve as needing to be low, or none. As a consumer product that is entirely new, Roomba had a high barrier to enter the market as it had to overcome consumer reaction to first purchasing a robot and also a device that would clean the home. The decision to make the device extremely simple was smart and it allowed people to become familiar to both elements. Thinking back 10 years, this product was initially purchased by baby-boomers and Gen-X who I would not consider technology-natives. Roomba now has a consumer recognition amongst millennials who just “get it” and as iRobot unveils new technology, the learning curve for the millennial consumer will continue to be low, despite it being much more complex than the first product. Another trend that is important to this product is integration with both mobile control and interaction with other home technologies. There are an increasing number of products that can be controlled by mobile phone such as thermostat, security systems, cable TV, etc., and this trend would be important for iRobot to capture in order to stay relevant. Additionally, iRobot and Roomba in specific would also be a stronger product if it interacted with other home technologies (both created by iRobot and otherwise). The article mentioned iRobot releasing home robots of varying kinds but no interaction between them as one portfolio.
As for the decision not work with existing vacuum cleaner manufactures, I agree with iRobot’s decision. The paragraph that mentions iRobot’s desire for consumers to know that a robot company made their vacuum rather than a company like Hoover making their vacuum, seems very important for long-term growth. iRobot would have a hard time attempting to enter the market with subsequent products (especially after Roomba’s success) if Roomba was called Hoover Robot, etc. The classification as a robot is important and this could not have been achieved by selling the patent to Electrolux or Hoover. The only disadvantage I could see is that a partnership with one of these companies would have accelerated their distribution incredibly. While they were able to secure floor demos at Sharper Image and Brookstone, a multi-billion-dollar company like Hoover might have been able to pressure companies like Target to follow suit. This would be much harder to accomplish as iRobot alone. In retrospect, I do not think they made a mistake by manufacturing, marketing, and distributing the product on their own.

What is the watering hole techniqueThe term watering hole” refer.docxsorayan5ywschuit
What is the watering hole technique?
The term “watering hole” refers to initiating an attack against targeted businesses and organizations. In a watering hole attack scenario, threat actors compromise a carefully selected website by inserting an exploit resulting in malware infection.
How does a watering hole technique work?
A watering hole attack typically works this way:
Attackers gather strategic information that they can use to gain entry into their targeted organization. This step can be compared to a military reconnaissance mission. The information gathered may include insights on trusted websites often visited by the employees or members of their targeted entity. The process of selecting websites to compromise was initially dubbed “strategic web compromises.”
Attackers insert an exploit into the selected sites.
Once targeted victims visit the compromised site, the exploit takes advantage of software vulnerabilities, either old or new, to drop malware. The dropped malware may be in the form of a remote access Trojan (RAT), which allows attackers to access sensitive data and take control of the vulnerable system.
Where is this attack technique used?
Watering hole attacks were previously documented in several high-profile cases which include:
VOHO. In mid-2012 RSA identified a campaign known as VOHO, which was aimed at a particular group of organizations, specifically those involved with business and local government agencies in certain geographic areas. The attackers compromised carefully selected sites by inserting malicious JavaScript to deliver a Gh0st RAT variant. Gh0st RATs were previously seen in other attacks that targeted civic organizations and diplomatic entities worldwide.
Attack on high-profile groups. Just before the end of 2012, the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) website was compromised to host a zero-day exploit in Internet Explorer. Those who visited the site were served with a backdoor malware. Microsoft addressed this vulnerability though the Microsoft Security Bulletin MS13-008.
Why is it effective?
Attackers incorporate strategies to circumvent the targeted organizations’ defenses in order for watering hole attacks to be effective. These may come in the form of outdated systems or simply human error.
In watering hole attacks, the goal is not to serve malware to as many systems possible. Instead, the attackers run exploits on well-known and trusted sites likely to be visited by their targeted victims. This makes the watering hole technique effective in delivering its intended payload.
Aside from carefully choosing sites to compromise, watering hole attacks are known to incorporate zero-day exploits that target unpatched vulnerabilities. Thus, the targeted entities are left with little or no defense against these exploits.
This doesn’t mean that attackers don’t target patched system vulnerabilities. Because of patch management difficulties in an enterprise setting, IT administrators may delay deploying critical upda.

What is Sickle Cell AnemiaRed blood cells with normal hemoglobin .docxsorayan5ywschuit
What is Sickle Cell Anemia?
Red blood cells with normal hemoglobin (HbA) move easily through the bloodstream, delivering oxygen to all of the cells of the body. Normal red blood cells are shaped like jelly- filled doughnuts with a depression in the center and they are soft and flexible. Sickle cell anemia occurs when an abnormal form of hemoglobin (HbS) is produced. HbS molecules tend to clump together, making red blood cells sticky, stiff, and more fragile. Red blood cells containing HbS can clog blood vessels, deprive the body’s tissues and organs of the oxygen they need, and are short-lived. Normal red blood cells last about 4 months in the bloodstream but sickle cells only last 10 to 20 days, which causes anemia (a low number of red blood cells). People who are anemic tire more easily and often feel weak (NIH, 2007).
Sickle cell anemia is not contagious and cannot be passed from one person to another like a cold or other infection. People with sickle cell anemia have inherited two sickle cell alleles, one from each parent. A child who has inherited the sickle cell allele from only one parent will not develop the disease, but they do carry the sickle cell trait. People carrying a single sickle cell allele can pass the trait to their own children.
One would think that there is little reason for sickle cell disease to remain in the any human population since natural selection should favor reduction of the frequency of the sickle cell allele to near zero. For example, individuals who carry two copies of the sickle cell allele typically die before reaching reproductive age, which will reduce the frequency of the allele in a population and minimize its transfer between generations. Why does the disease exist at all? An understanding of the origin of sickle cell disease and several other red blood cell disorders requires knowledge of a few of the basics about genetics and something about the process of natural selection. There is also another piece of the puzzle: malaria.
Malaria
The plasmodium parasite that causes malaria in humans is transmitted by mosquitos and the parasite spends part of their life cycle in mosquitos and part of it in human hosts. The parasite enters the human bloodstream via the saliva of an infected female mosquito obtaining a blood meal. Once in the blood stream and liver the parasites replicate to the point that the liver cells are filled with new copies of the parasite. These are then released into the bloodstream where they invade circulating red blood cells. After penetrating the red blood cells, the parasites consume hemoglobin in the red blood cells and enlarge until they fill the cell completely. During their growth these plasmodia particles reproduce forcing red blood cells to lyse (break apart) releasing new copies into the blood stream where they continue to infect new red blood cells. A mosquito taking a blood meal from a person whose red cells contain malaria-causing parasites then becomes a host furthering th.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

What is the watering hole techniqueThe term watering hole” refer.docxsorayan5ywschuit
What is the watering hole technique?
The term “watering hole” refers to initiating an attack against targeted businesses and organizations. In a watering hole attack scenario, threat actors compromise a carefully selected website by inserting an exploit resulting in malware infection.
How does a watering hole technique work?
A watering hole attack typically works this way:
Attackers gather strategic information that they can use to gain entry into their targeted organization. This step can be compared to a military reconnaissance mission. The information gathered may include insights on trusted websites often visited by the employees or members of their targeted entity. The process of selecting websites to compromise was initially dubbed “strategic web compromises.”
Attackers insert an exploit into the selected sites.
Once targeted victims visit the compromised site, the exploit takes advantage of software vulnerabilities, either old or new, to drop malware. The dropped malware may be in the form of a remote access Trojan (RAT), which allows attackers to access sensitive data and take control of the vulnerable system.
Where is this attack technique used?
Watering hole attacks were previously documented in several high-profile cases which include:
VOHO. In mid-2012 RSA identified a campaign known as VOHO, which was aimed at a particular group of organizations, specifically those involved with business and local government agencies in certain geographic areas. The attackers compromised carefully selected sites by inserting malicious JavaScript to deliver a Gh0st RAT variant. Gh0st RATs were previously seen in other attacks that targeted civic organizations and diplomatic entities worldwide.
Attack on high-profile groups. Just before the end of 2012, the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) website was compromised to host a zero-day exploit in Internet Explorer. Those who visited the site were served with a backdoor malware. Microsoft addressed this vulnerability though the Microsoft Security Bulletin MS13-008.
Why is it effective?
Attackers incorporate strategies to circumvent the targeted organizations’ defenses in order for watering hole attacks to be effective. These may come in the form of outdated systems or simply human error.
In watering hole attacks, the goal is not to serve malware to as many systems possible. Instead, the attackers run exploits on well-known and trusted sites likely to be visited by their targeted victims. This makes the watering hole technique effective in delivering its intended payload.
Aside from carefully choosing sites to compromise, watering hole attacks are known to incorporate zero-day exploits that target unpatched vulnerabilities. Thus, the targeted entities are left with little or no defense against these exploits.
This doesn’t mean that attackers don’t target patched system vulnerabilities. Because of patch management difficulties in an enterprise setting, IT administrators may delay deploying critical upda.

What is Sickle Cell AnemiaRed blood cells with normal hemoglobin .docxsorayan5ywschuit
What is Sickle Cell Anemia?
Red blood cells with normal hemoglobin (HbA) move easily through the bloodstream, delivering oxygen to all of the cells of the body. Normal red blood cells are shaped like jelly- filled doughnuts with a depression in the center and they are soft and flexible. Sickle cell anemia occurs when an abnormal form of hemoglobin (HbS) is produced. HbS molecules tend to clump together, making red blood cells sticky, stiff, and more fragile. Red blood cells containing HbS can clog blood vessels, deprive the body’s tissues and organs of the oxygen they need, and are short-lived. Normal red blood cells last about 4 months in the bloodstream but sickle cells only last 10 to 20 days, which causes anemia (a low number of red blood cells). People who are anemic tire more easily and often feel weak (NIH, 2007).
Sickle cell anemia is not contagious and cannot be passed from one person to another like a cold or other infection. People with sickle cell anemia have inherited two sickle cell alleles, one from each parent. A child who has inherited the sickle cell allele from only one parent will not develop the disease, but they do carry the sickle cell trait. People carrying a single sickle cell allele can pass the trait to their own children.
One would think that there is little reason for sickle cell disease to remain in the any human population since natural selection should favor reduction of the frequency of the sickle cell allele to near zero. For example, individuals who carry two copies of the sickle cell allele typically die before reaching reproductive age, which will reduce the frequency of the allele in a population and minimize its transfer between generations. Why does the disease exist at all? An understanding of the origin of sickle cell disease and several other red blood cell disorders requires knowledge of a few of the basics about genetics and something about the process of natural selection. There is also another piece of the puzzle: malaria.
Malaria
The plasmodium parasite that causes malaria in humans is transmitted by mosquitos and the parasite spends part of their life cycle in mosquitos and part of it in human hosts. The parasite enters the human bloodstream via the saliva of an infected female mosquito obtaining a blood meal. Once in the blood stream and liver the parasites replicate to the point that the liver cells are filled with new copies of the parasite. These are then released into the bloodstream where they invade circulating red blood cells. After penetrating the red blood cells, the parasites consume hemoglobin in the red blood cells and enlarge until they fill the cell completely. During their growth these plasmodia particles reproduce forcing red blood cells to lyse (break apart) releasing new copies into the blood stream where they continue to infect new red blood cells. A mosquito taking a blood meal from a person whose red cells contain malaria-causing parasites then becomes a host furthering th.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
