A Letter to the Vizier

Discussion Question: You are either an Egyptian priest or priestess of Bastet, a member of the Egyptian Royal Family, a scribe in charge of grain supplies, or a farmer in Ancient Egypt. You are writing a letter to the Vizier, the highest ranking officer in the Egyptian government, explaining how the cat, the last domesticated animal in Western culture, is a central feature of your life. Include what the cat means to you as a person, how it is critical to your economic existence, and its role as a religious symbol. Discuss what the cat’s overall role is in Egyptian culture. Remember to address the Vizier as “My Lord Vizier” and to explain who you are (obviously a prince or princess of Egypt is above the Vizier socially, a farmer or scribe is beneath his dignity, apriest is a social equal—so adjust your tone as necessary), and end the letter with your title and EGYPTIAN name (look oneup—Fred, Ahmed, Nguyen, or Julie are NOT Egyptian names).The Rules for The Discussion Boards: Special Discussion Board Questions should be answered in essay form, providing the type of depth and detail expected in a research paper. You should take the time to explain complicated concepts in a thorough and thoughtful manner. Remember, you need to demonstrate an understanding of events not only in terms of what happened but also why it happened and what effect it had on society. Remember to answer each part of your question as well. Be sure to cite your sources at the end of your posting.Note: I used this book for this class.

1.2 cT

Directions: Evaluate whether the following sentences are true or false and provide reasoning for your determination.

1. To engage in a process of critical thinking, its important to think outside the box. True or False? Why?

2. Objectivism assumes humans should be obedient and perfect in a gods eyes in order to solve problems. True or False? Why?

3. Subjectivism assumes that humans should cooperate and compare measurable data in order to solve problems. True or False? Why?

4. Relativism assumes that humans should collaborate and compare values in order to solve problems. True or False? Why?

Media Regulation

A public policy is a plan of action with which the government attempts to solve an economic or social problem. In this paper you will examine a specific public policy. (Media Regulation)First discuss the details of the policy issue you are examining. Give the basic facts such as what the problem is, how the policy attempts to solve the problem, who would be affected by changes in the policy, and whether the issue has been addressed by policy makers in the past. Include any other pertinent details. This section of the paper should be at least one and a half to two pages long but you can make it longer if you like.Second discuss the opinions of those in favor of the particular public policy change and those against it. For example if you are writing about the three-strikes law, tell why some oppose it and why some think it is a good idea. This part of your paper should not reflect your opinion on the issue, rather it should be an unbiased look at both sides of the issue. It will take about a page and a half to adequately cover each side of the argument so this section of the paper should be around three pages long.Third identify your position on the topic and explain why you hold that opinion. This section of the paper should be at least one half a page long but may be longer if you have a lot to say about the issue.Papers must be 3-6 pages long (not including the bibliography), typed and double spaced. You must cite at least three sources which can include books, journal articles, newspaper articles and the internet. At least one of the three sources must be from printed material. You should have at least three source citations per page, more would be better. You must include a bibliography in one of the major styles. I recommend MLA.Papers will be evaluated based on the amount of relevant information they contain and how well they integrate and illustrate concepts learned in class. The paper is not simply an opportunity for you to express your opinions on political issues (except for the third section of the paper). Your paper must provide a well researched, balanced examination of your topic to earn a satisfactory grade.

Essay, Literature

A story about a prop (object) being the main character, its the protagonist. The story should include an exposition, a catalyst, a development, a climax, and a resolution. The prop can be used as an extension of another character, but must remain the primary focus of the story, example: a story of an old man without showing him by focusing on his walking stick. Let the prop do the telling. Find a human characteristic or some thing to excite emotion from an audience, example: The last bottle of beer on the shelf, how would it feel seeing all its buddy falling off?

(examples used are from the teacher, do not use them)

– The key emphasis of this exercise is story-telling and narrative structure.

– Use the prop to tell a story

– The prop is the main Protagonist, not just an object in the background

Assignment, Computer sciences and Information technology

3.1 Describe why an application developer might choose to run over TCP rather than UDP.
3.2 Suppose host A is sending host B a large file over a TCP connection. If the acknowledge number for a segment of this connection is y, then the acknowledge number for the subsequent segment will necessarily be y+ 1. Is this true or false? Why?
3.3 Suppose 5 TCP connections are present over some bottleneck link of rate X bps. All connections have a huge file to send (in the same direction over the bottleneck link). The transmissions of the files start at the same time. What is the transmission rate that TCP would like to give to each of the connections?
3.4 How to identify a UDP socket? How to identify a TCP socket? Are these data fields same? Why?
3.5 UDP and TCP use 1\’s complement for their checksums. Suppose you have the following three 8-bit words: 11010101, 01111000, 10001010. What is the 1\’s complement of the sum of these words? Show all work. Why UDP takes the 1\’s complement of the sum, that is, why not just use the sum?
3.6 Suppose Client A initiates a SMTP session with server S. Provide possible source and destination port numbers for:
a. The segment sent from S to A.
b. The segment sent from A to S.
3.7 Compare two pipelining protocols shown in the textbook go-back-N and selective repeat.
3.8 In our textbook, protocol rdt 3.0 shows a data transfer protocols that uses only acknowledges.
As an alternative, consider a reliable data transfer protocol that uses negative acknowledgements.
Suppose the sender sends data only infrequently. Will a NAK-only protocol be preferable to
protocol that uses ACKs? Why? Suppose the sender has a lot of data to send and the end-to-end
connection experiences few losses. In the second case, would a NAK-only protocol be preferable
to a protocol that uses ACKs? Why?
3.9 Let us assume that the roundtrip delay between sender and receiver is constant and known to
the sender. Would a timer still be necessary in protocol rdt 3.0, assuming that packets can be
lost? Please explain.
3.10 Briefly discuss the basic mechanisms adopted by TCP congestion control.
Chapter 4 40 points
4.1 Describe two major network-layer functions in a datagram network.
4.2 Describe how packet loss can occur at input and outputs of a router. Is it possible to eliminate
packet loss at these ports? If so, how? If not, please explain.
4.3 Suppose an application generates chunks of 960 bytes of data every 20 msec, and each chunk
gets encapsulated in a TCP segment and then an IP datagram. What percentage of each datagram
will be overhead, and what percentage will be application data?
4.4 Consider a datagram network using 8-bit host addresses. Suppose a router uses longest prefix
matching and has the following forwarding table:
Prefix Match Interface
00 0
001 1
otherwise 2
For each of the 3 interfaces, give the associated range of destination host addresses and the
number of addresses in the range.
4.5 Consider the following network. With the indicated link costs, use Dijkstras shortest-path
algorithm to compute the shortest path from x to all network nodes. Show how the algorithm
works by computing a table similar to the textbook example. In cases when several candidate
nodes have the same minimal costs, choose a node according to non-decreasing alphabetical
order.

4.6 Consider the count-to-infinity problem in the distance vector routing. Will the problem occur
if we decrease the cost of a link? Why?
4.7 IPv6 adopts a fixed-length 40 byte IP header. What is the major advantage of this approach
compared to that in IPv4?
4.8 Suppose an ISP owns the block of addresses of the form 200.200.128.0/19. Suppose it wants
to create four subnets from this block, with each block having the same number of IP addresses.
What are the prefixes (of form a.b.c.d/x) for the four subnets?
4.9 Why are different inter-AS and intra-AS protocols used in the Internet?
Part 3. Practical assignment 20 points
For this assignment, you can choose to use either Java or Python.
Please submit the following items in a ZIP file.
1) Source code;
2) Instructions on how to install and run your program;
3) A brief design document explaining your solution.
Note: I shall not provide remedial help concerning coding problems that you might have.
Students are responsible for the setup of their own coding environment. Each student is also
expected to debug their code. In addition most SMTP servers (e.g., NSUs email server at
nsusmtp.nova.edu) require authentication before sending messages. You can either hard-code the
email accounts authentication information into the source code, or create a dummy or a free
SMTP server (shown as follows) to test your program.
http://www.softstack.com/freesmtp.html
https://www.hmailserver.com/
http://sourceforge.net/directory/os:windows/freshness:recently-updated/?q=smtp%20server
(There are a couple of options. It seems that SMTPMail is a viable option if you feel comfortable
with common line mode.)
Sending Email with Java
Java provides an API for interacting with the Internet mail system, which is called JavaMail.
However, we will not be using this API, because it hides the details of SMTP and socket
programming. Instead, you should write a simple Java program that establishes a TCP
connection with a mail server through the socket interface, and sends an email message.
You can place all of your code into the main method of a class called EmailAgent. Run your
program with the following simple command:
java EmailAgent
This means you will include in your code the details of the particular email message you are
trying to send.
Here is a skeleton of the code you\’ll need to write:

For this assignment, you are required to use command-line-based Java and should not rely on
any features provided by IDE such as NetBeans, Eclipse, etc. In your submission please send me
a stand-alone document named EmailAgent.java. No executables should be submitted. No
graphical interface should be used by your program.
Sending Email with Python
You can implement your email client using Python. You should write a simple Python program
that follow a step-by-step process to establish a TCP connection with a mail server through
sockets, and send an email message. The other requirements are very similar to those by
choosing Java. I am attaching a skeleton of the Python code below. Again Python 2 is
recommended for this assignment.

Law Enforcement and Higher Education

Some authorities have proposed that police officers should be chosen only from among people possessing college degrees. Do you agree with this position? If you do, how would you answer the criticism that many otherwise well qualified people have been excluded from criticism? What about the argument that college is not available to poor people and thus they would be unfairly discriminated against by a college degree requirement? On the other side of the coin, if you do not favor the requirement, what consideration would you give to those people who do not have a degree? Would you offer promotional advantages, extra money, or special assignments?
