The Patriot Act In the wake of September 11, many things happened very quickly. Along with the beginning of a '"'war'"' against terrorism, an act was passed to help prevent future terrorism in the USA. The name of this is the USA Patriot Act. The act legalizes many surveillance techniques that were once prohibited. The act has been passed without debate, and the new privileges given to our government have not been thoroughly examined. The law enforcers of our country are now capable of monitoring
Although an act of cyberterrorism has yet to occur, officials and scholars continuously study the possibilities of such an attack. As our physical and virtual worlds continue to intertwine the risk of such an event rapidly increases. Everything from our transportation systems to pharmaceutical manufacturing are computer controlled. The closest the world has come to an act of cyberterrorism was in 2000. Known as the Maroochy Shire case in Queensland, Australia was committed by Vitek Boden. Boden was
legal.” (Ohm, 2007 p. 1) Ultimately, the court of law, not the court of public opinion, is the deciding factor in legality. So why isn’t the issue clear cut and widely known? The laws that govern packet sniffing, the Federal Wiretap Act and the Pen Register and Trap and Trace Act, were written more than 50 years ago and were meant to apply to the wire tapping of phones. Later, in 1986, packet transmissions were added to the list of covered communications. The Patriot Act of 2001 also amended the
It was a normal-ish working day at the Mystery Shack. Wendy was on cash register (AKA flipping through the pages of a magazine), Grunkle Stan was in his office counting his profit, Dipper and Mabel were taking inventory on the merchandise, and Soos was on his lunch break. "How many Grunkle Stan bobbleheads do we have?" Mabel asked her brother, holding a pencil and a notepad. "Six." Dipper replied. "Again? How is that possible? We had six last month!" "Mabel, who honestly wants a Grunkle Stan
Throughout my life, reading and writing was not always my strongest point. In fact, it was one of my weaker subjects and I loathed being forced to read and write when it comes to school. I remember even up to the end of my senior year, I rarely touched any of my textbooks or barely read any of my assigned books throughout high school. However, as I began college, I started to force myself to fully read all my textbooks and complete my writing assignments with my fullest capabilities. In the past
Being behind her I could hear the cashier tell her that her savings for the day were seventy dollars. After picking my jaw up I asked her how she did it. She simply smiled and said “buy one get one free coupon.” Finally it was my turn at the register. Having no coupons to present for my purchases my total came to much more than the coupon ladies and I had a severely smaller amount of items than her. I grumbled all the way home and swore I would find out about the coupon gold mine. I can remember

I was an employee at Nike for almost 3 years, when I made the biggest mistake of my life. I was working up at the cash register, I worked up at the register for quite some time now so I was very familiar with the buttons and everything. My friend, Alexandra, walked in and I greeted her with a big smile and a “Hey!”. She, of course, said, “Hey!”, back. I then left the register only because we were not busy at all and there were three other cashiers working. I walked over to where my
My first job was working at the Carmike Cinemas at the Summit. My main duty, among others at the theater, was working the concession stands. It was an entertaining job. It took me awhile to learn the ropes, but once I did, it was smooth sailing. There were several times the concessionaires stands were run by only one person. While it is fun working in a concession stand, I couldn’t forget about my responsibilities. A rush of thousands of people is a daunting task, but it will go smoothly if my station
The Albuquerque make-up business was booming. The nail art scene was especially thriving, and the companies manufacturing the resources needed were being boosted to godlike statuses. Two companies, above all, ruled the city with perfectly manicured iron fists. Chic Shine and Glitz were essentially religions for New Mexico based fashion blogs and trendy teenagers alike. Despite the fact that the two brands were stocked together in drug stores, and that Glitz's pink 'Listen to Reason' and Chic Shine's
Journaling is a past-time long forgotten. Finding time to write everyday presents a challenge for many, and so does finding a topic to write about when a mundane day passes. Because of this, most people choose to bypass journaling; however, I have recently rediscovered the purpose of recording my every day shenanigans. Just a week ago I noticed a small notebook hiding behind a few unread books while I was cleaning my bookshelves. As I pulled it from its little nook, it registered in my brain what
‘WRITE EVERYDAY’ it is a common advice. Indeed writing is an important and inescapable part of our daily life. When a person learns how to write daily, a whole world of possibilities open for him. He can pen up his thoughts, create a story and can make his own illusionary world. Writing promotes one’s ability to pose worthwhile questions. Writing is something which is enduring, it always leaves an impact on others. It makes thinking visible. Writing daily makes you seem more professional and genius

"Attention! Can we please get some help on register 12," a young woman says. I sigh in relief; I continue searching the shelves, until I come upon Extra Strong Denture Cream. I check my surroundings once more and pick up 2 quantities of the cream instead of putting it in my basket I slip it in a hidden pocket in my cashmere coat. I head to the register acting casual and place my items on the conveyor belt. "How's your day been?" the young man at the register asks "Umm good." I reply "That’s good." he
customer, the way that one summer day turned out for me. I followed my humdrum routine, arriving for work on time, punching in, and returning to the front to begin my shift. The store was mostly calm, except for the constant beeping of the registers, the bickering of elderly couples, and the hum of activity swirling about the manager's desk. In other words, there was nothing out of the ordinary at all at good old PharMor. I was used to the noise, to the persnickety comments from customers
he seems to be very distant and cool towards him. He was not very interested in learning Piggy's name after piggy had asked for Ralph's, Ralph was not interested in the situation that they were in. When piggy suggests that they should take a register of all the boys on the island to keep note, Ralph is unconcerned, "Ralph did not take the hint so the fat boy was forced to continue". When Ralph first learns of Piggy's name, he is insensitive and laughs at him, however I think that this is down
proved not as interesting as I wanted, and certainly not as aesthetically pleasing, I moved to plan B: creating my own ink by boiling grape peals. The ink was a deep shade of purple (and smelled like wine); I was sure it would write just like ink from a pen and I would have a beautiful project. However my ego got the better of me. As it turned out the fermented ink would not write on my bark surface. Instead it absorbed into the bark never to be seen again. I moved to plan C. Creating a smoother surface
white natural objects shaded with dots and lines. This was a completely new style of shading for me and it is one that I like a lot. Then I started developing my final art piece for the year I took a section of my garden and drew and shaded it in black pen after this I did 2 or 3 more pictures of this section of my garden one in pencil one in collage and one in acrylic.
The narrator of “Penmanship” is a man madly in love in the art of writing. It is through entering the enchanting world of pen and paper that he is able to face the complexities of reality like social cancer (corruption), violence (murder) and fiery emotions (love) with strength and confidence. He could feel “a twinge of sorrow” every time he mails a letter because he had voluntarily given away a part of himself. I think for him (and may I boldly include everybody else who writes) that every word
my emotions in the moment. It is very rare for me not to have a journal and a pen in my bag, ready to scribble down my thoughts. Whether I am sitting in class, or if I am sitting at the base of a waterfall - I love to write down everything that is happening around me. I would argue that one of my favourite things is the satisfactory feeling of flipping through a completed journal. I feel a sense of pride with every pen smudged page that I flip, reminiscing on where I was when it was written. I find
