Your final analytical paper will require considerable thought and creativity. Your guidelines are quite open, a condition that will force you to adopt a position of authority regarding the concerns we have addressed in the class.
Using Five Days at Memorial and one or two articles assigned during the term, discuss the relationship between the content an author communicates and the manner in which he or she chooses to communicate it. More to the point, using these texts as evidence, discuss how an author’s rhetorical decisions affect the manner in which the audience receives her work.
Although you will not have enough space to discuss the whole book, you should be able to assimilate the primary concerns of Five Days well enough to discuss its overarching message and include specific phrases or passages in support of your argument. Your essay should not recite class discussion, and your readings of the articles and book should be original in some way.
The following questions might help to guide your thinking. You are not required to answer these questions: they are here simply to help you.
 Would you have responded to Five Days in the same manner if it had been written in the style of a newspaper report?
 Are there times in which a more formal tone is appropriate to presenting information or directions? A less formal tone? How do grammar and diction affect tone?
 Does the familiar approach to writing—that is, a style that sounds conversational—augment or diminish the trust engendered by the author (i.e., your faith in the author’s sincerity or authority)?
 How does an employee define herself in the context of the corporation for which she works? In what ways does that corporation reflect the ethical codes of the society in which it exists?
 How important is clear, straightforward communication within the context of an organization? What are some of the dangers of failing to communicate well with one’s employees and coworkers?
 How do the actions of the corporation affect the public? In what ways is corporate social responsibility reflected in the lives of employees and the general public?
 How can the core messages a corporation delivers improve the quality of life of private citizens?
 Where would the public be without corporations? What happens when the corporate constructs upon which we rely fail?
You have a great deal of freedom on this final essay; therefore, content will account for a considerable portion of your mark. The marking matrix is as follows:
Content: 30%
(Content includes [1] the complexity of the argument, [2] accuracy of your interpretation of the articles and book, [3] rhetorical force—i.e., persuasiveness—of the argument)
Grammar (including proper use of punctuation): 30%
Style: 30%
(Among other things, style includes the absence of wordiness, awkward phrasing,
excessive qualifications, excessive dependent clauses and excessive prepositional
phrases. Among other things, style includes the presence of concision, straightforward phrasing, parallelism, dominant and clear main clauses, effective use of rhetorical devices, and economy of language.)
MLA accuracy: 10%

4. For any clarifications please contact me
5. Each problem carries 4 marks. 1 mark bonus.

Plagiarism will be thoroughly penalized.
===============================================================
P1. Consider a chat server. It is a concurrent server providing concurrency through prethreading. Server takes thread pool size N on the command line. Threads wait on mutex and then call accept(). Client is a telnet application. Client can send the following messages. All messages start with a 4 letter command, followed by text and ended by \r\n. Text is interpreted as per the command.
• JOIN \r\n: This is the first message sent by the client providing its own name.
• LIST: This message will fetch all the connected online user names.
• UMSG \r\n \r\n: This is the message used for sending message to particular person named tname. If such a person is online then message will be delivered, otherwise server sends ERROR .
• BMSG \r\n: This message will deliver msg to all the online users.
• LEAV\r\n: This message will make the server remove the client entry in its data structures and close the connection.
All shared data must be protected. Implement prethreads_chatserver.c as per above requirements.
P2. Write C programs shmclient.c and shmserver.c that do the following.
• Server creates a shared memory of 1 MB. Shared memory is protected by a semaphore S. Clients write messages into shared memory. Server sums up a and b and put the result into total.
• Message is of the format:
struct message{
int type;
int pid; //client’s pid
int slno; //incremented for every message
int a; //any number
int b; //any number
int total;//total of a and b, processed by server
};
• A client writes a message m of type 1 into shared memory by acquiring sizeof(m) bytes from S. A client can write several messages into shared memory at one time. But as soon as a client completes writing, control is given to server to read a message from the shared memory.
• Server reads one message at a time, processes and writes the reply with type of client’s pid into the shared memory after acquiring necessary bytes from S. Once the server writes the reply, control is given to the client, who needs to read that reply. Such a client can’t write but only read from shared memory. After the client completes reading, either server (for reading) or any client (for writing) can get chance to access shared memory.
Use semaphores wherever necessary to control access to shared memory. Print client’s pid, slno, a and b, shmid, semaphore value for every message the client puts in. Print server’s pid (with label “server”), slno, a, b, sum of a and b, shmid, and semaphore value for every message it processes. When server is exited through ctrl-c, it prints pid wise count of messages it processed.
P3. In this problem you will implement a command line interpreter or shell. The shell takes in a command from user at its prompt and executes it and then prompts for more input from user.
• shell should execute a command using fork()and execve() calls. Once the command is completed it should print its pid and status.
• shell should support background jobs.
o Handles Ctrl-C and Ctrl-z as depicted in the diagram below.
o When a command is typed ending with ‘&’, it is run as background job. Assume that you can take only one command at a time for this problem.
o Each job is identified with a job id (JID), a positive integer
o Support the following built-in commands
jobs: lists all background jobs with JID and process id and status
bg : restarts a stopped job by sending it SIGCONT signal and runs it in the background
fg : brings a job to foreground or restarts a stopped job by sending it SIGCONT signal and runs it in the foreground
kill : terminates the job
Write a program called shell.c that implements the above requirements.
P4. Develop a TCP based client-server application for the following. Do not use temporary file to store results.
Server takes port number on command line. Server can handle multiple clients concurrently.
o Server should use process-per-client method for handling concurrent clients.
o Assume that the searchable files reside in the same directory where the server is.
Client takes server domain name and a port number. Client connects to the server.
Client asks the user to enter
o query string: string to search for
o in the preceding results: Y or N. Y means search will be performed in the results of the previous query. N means search will be performed on the file specified.
o file: If second argument is N, then filename has to be specified.
Client sends the query in the following format delimited by $(assuming that $ will not occur in the arguments:
o Querystring$Y/N$filename
Server searches the file using the grep command and returns the results back to the client.
o There can be errors on server side namely FILE_NOT_FOUND (if the file not found), RECORD_NOT_FOUND (if the query doesn’t match any line the file).
o grep command can be executed as grep
o In case, the search has to be done on the results of previous query, those results need to be sent to grep using pipe and dup calls.
o Do not use temporary file to store results.
Implement searchclient.c and searchserver.c as per the above requirements.
How to upload?
Make a directory for each problem like P1, P2 etc and copy your source files into these directories.
Tar all of them into idno.tar
• Upload the file at taxila.

First of all i am an International student so english is not my first language, so i would like it if you make it simple. so this paper is about how different cultures deal with the cross-culture diversity and how they try to get as much benefits from the diversity. I already found a website that talks about this topic the website is: http://diversityintheworkplace.ca/wordpress/2011/12/01/workplace-communication-and-cultural-diversity/ . on the 4th paragraph that starts with “There are many cultural differences….” it talks about how different they are.
All the sources must be academic sources and at least 3 sources on this paper.

Please conduct a through literature reveiw and report the findings of the literrature review in a synthesize manner. Please make sure that the literature reveiw is reported in a synthesized manner not quoting from the articles. Also group related studies together

The underlying concern here has vexed theologians for centuries: How can evil happen in a world that is lorded over by a good and all-powerful God? As CNN’s readers struggled to make sense of God’s presence (or absence) in the Aurora, Colorado, massacre, I counted seven different answers to this question:
1. There is no God.
Self-professed atheists may make up only 2% of the U.S. population, but they are extraordinarily active online, and on CNN’s Belief Blog. A commenter who identified as Jason spoke for them when he wrote, “Where was God? He was where he has always been. Nowhere because God does not exist.” Bob Dobbs agreed: “God is imaginary. The question is moot.”
Many in this camp also quoted the ancient Greek philosopher (and skeptic) Epicurus:
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?
Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing?
Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing?
Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God?
2. Don’t blame God, blame Satan.
Many theists on the site described the world as a battleground between God, who is working for good, and Satan, who is working for evil. “As long as Satan is loose to promote evil, bad things will happen to good people,” wrote kat.
3. Don’t blame God, blame us.
Probably the most common response from Christian commenters was that evil is a result of free will. Do we really want to be “puppets” or “robots”? Of course not. So God has given us the will to choose either evil or good.
Watch: Survivor of massacre says he forgives gunman
Believer summed up this position well:
“It’s been said that the only thing we can truly give God is our will because its the only thing we possess that is uniquely ours. Everything else was given to us by him, and is, in effect, not ours to give in the first place. As such, and despite his omnipotence, he cannot intervene. . . . He only possesses power where power can be possessed – and controlling our actions is not within that realm.”
Here Deborah also chimed in: “This act of violence was not God’s will. I get so tried of people blaming God for evil acts. Humans of their own free will do evil things.”
4. God was behind the massacre, and it was just.
Some believers saw God’s righteous hand in the Aurora massacre, inflicting a just punishment on a wayward nation now run by secular liberals rather than conservative Christians.
Lenny wrote:
“We as a country have been telling God to go away. We told him to get off our currency, get out of our schools, get out of our Pledge of Allegiance, take your Ten Commandments out of our courthouses, get those Bibles out of hotels and no graduation ceremonies in our churches. How can we expect God to give us his blessing and his protection if we demand that he leave us alone?”
Read: The man who made Aurora’s iconic crosses
Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, took a similar tack in an appearance on the Heritage Foundation’s “Istook Live” radio show, laying the blame at the feet of a nation that has turned away from its God:
“You know, when people say, where was God in all of this? Well, you know, . . . we’ve threatened high school graduation participants that if they use God’s name that they’re going to be jailed, we had a principal of a school, and a superintendent or a coach down in Florida that were threatened with jail because they said the blessing at a voluntary off campus dinner. I mean, that kind of stuff… where is God? Where, where? What have we done with God? We told him that we don’t want him around. I kind of like his protective hand being present.”
5. God was present at the massacre but with the victims, not the perpetrator
One classic claim in the Abrahamic tradition of Jews, Christians and Muslims is that God is with those who suffer – the poor and the oppressed. Some commenters saw God’s miraculous hand in the midst of this suffering, not causing it to happen but bringing it to an end. “This may sound crazy,” wrote Diana, “but I believe God had a hand in that the gun jammed so that more people weren’t killed.”
CNN’s Belief Blog: The faith angles behind the biggest stories
The most common claim in this category came from peacemaker, who wrote, “God is and was with the victims and s/he is weeping.” In a more explicitly Christian vein, Lauren wrote: “He was there in the theater, pierced by bullets with the victims. He was scarred by the shrapnel. His eyes were scorched with gas and then burned with tears as He mourned alongside the broken.”
6. Which God?
Some commenters interrogated the question itself, arguing that the knots it twists us into are rooted in what commenter Ego_Death called “a false idea of what God is.” After all, the problem of evil in a world ruled by a sovereign and good God only presents itself if you posit one personal God who is both good and all-powerful.

Referring to “our idea of a human-like personal God” as “an ancient myth,” Northstar56 wrote:
“But just because this kind of God does not appear to exist, does not mean that God, in fact, does not exist. I think many have developed a more mature and realistic perspective . . . in which God exists as a pure fundamental consciousness or state from which all of existence arises. This God does not control anything, but rather continues to perpetually emanate as reality . . . God was present in all of the victims, and everyone else. God was present in the killer as well. The tragedy is that the killer’s awareness was so distorted and twisted that he could not see or be aware of the intrinsic priceless value of every person he gunned down.”
Evoking something more akin to the “watchmaker” God of the deists, who makes the world and its laws and then refuses to intervene in its operation, Norm wrote: “God is not involved in our everyday mundane activities. How arrogant of man to think he’s the center of the universe and has God’s constant attention and every action is ‘God’s will.’”
Taking a different tack, “varun” invoked the teachings of the beloved Hindu scripture the Bhagavad Gita:
“Only the followers of Semitic religions have problem with understanding this – because they do not believe in rebirth and karma. As soon as you introduce these two concepts into (the) picture along with the eternal indestructible soul (something Semitic religions do believe in), everything makes sense. Read Bhagavad-Gita and everything would be as clear as daylight.”
7. Who knows? It’s a mystery
Agnosticism is a rare virtue in the United States nowadays, but there were a few commenters who admitted to something less than the absolute certainty exhibited by atheists and evangelicals alike. “The answer,” wrote Terry, “is we don’t know where he was.” Fluffy the Gerbil of Doom saw this “God works in mysterious ways” move as “ultimate cop-out/rationalization,” but I am not so sure.
In September 1862, in the midst of a much greater American tragedy, Abraham Lincoln wrote a private “Meditation on the Divine Will” in which he struggled to make sense of what God was doing in the Civil War. He later reworked those reflections into his second inaugural address, one of the greatest speeches in American history.
Surveying the corpse-ridden landscape of North and South, Lincoln observed, “Both read the same Bible, and pray to the same God; and each invokes His aid against the other.” Clearly there was little good in slavery, he reasoned, yet equally clearly God was not giving a swift and sure victory to the Union. So what was God up to? In the end, Lincoln had to admit he did not know. Or, as he put it, “The Almighty has His own purposes.”
I suppose this is in a sense a “cop-out,” but it is a humble one, uninfected by the absolute certainties (either pro- or anti-God) that have shed more blood on earth than agnosticism ever will. It is also a classic example of answering a question with a question: What is God doing with this war? Who knows?
“Josephpusateri” also answered our question with a question. His comment was in my view the best of the hundreds I read, so I will end with it here:
“Oh, the blindness of such a question… as if only theodicy was a relevant question in white, American suburbs. Where is God in Afghanistan? Where is God in Gaza? Where is God in Syria? . . . Where is God, indeed.”
The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Stephen Prothero

What therapy (eccentric, traditional, corticosteroid injection, etc) produces the best patient outcome for shoulder (subacromial) impingement? Is surgery an effective solution? American English preferred.

3. Synthesis question as a statement: The ideas of “A” and “B” makes me question….
2- here is my sources and please do not use any out there thank you.
A- Leslie Morgan Steiner: Why domestic violence victims don’t leave

B- Jackson Katz: Violence against women—it’s a men’s issue

3- Here is my summary for both sources and I want you to follow my wring as much as you can thank you.
My topic is, we all involve in domestic violence as a communities in the world, so we should start from our family to our societies.
My texts are 1- “why domestic violence victims don’t leave”
2-“Violence against women-it’s a man’s Issue”
My synthesis question is ?

Summary1
In “why domestic violence victims don’t leave” filmed in the TED Talks, by Leslie Morgan, who argues we should speak up against abuser and take front step to stop them. She said”domestic violence happens to everyone”(2:08). She started to tell us we can get abuse by people who do not care about us. Moreover, “ women ages 16 to 24 are three times as to be domestic violence victims as women of other age, and over 500 women and girls this age are killed every year”(2:48). So that is big number to do something to help people who get abuse.
Summary2
In “Violence against women-it’s a man’s Issue” filmed in the TED Talks, by Jackson Katz, who argues about the violence is belong man before women. He was full of energy when he presented his topic, he said “why do so many men abuse, physically, emotionally, verbally, and other ways”(5:05). That is big question and need to answer from us, and we have to find solution for this problem.
4- this paper going to be my first draft, so I am going be back here to get some help from you guys thank you
