- 232: Images Of Control Progaganda
- ... leaders successfully converted the population over to their cause. Weather or not the whole population adored their Fόhrer cannot accurately be determined. The propaganda was, however, successful enough to keep most of the population under control for the duration of Nazi rule. Unquestionable devotion can also be seen in the many party rallies held in Nuremburg. One of these rallies was captured on film by Nazi propagandists and was widely shown ... picture while behind him a large crowd of people is assembled along with a flag with a very small portrait of Lenin. Stalin also towers over an industrial plant, showing he is not only in control of the people but also the industry (Bonnell, 1997, Figure 4.12). The Soviets also strove to represent Stalin as not only a powerful leader, but also one who cared about his people and his ... the twentieth century has been often and in many different forms and styles. Almost every political movement has been supported by propaganda. Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia are just two examples of these methods of control. These two examples show that the ideology presented in propaganda is not necessarily a determining factor in the style or themes used in the propaganda. Both Germany and Russia used the same methods of ...
- 233: What is ISDN?
- ... Rate ISDN: Basic Rate Interface (BRI) - The BRI is the fundamental building block of an ISDN network. It is composed of a single 16 kbit/s "D-channel" which is used for call setup and control and two 64 kbit/s "B-channels". The B-channels can be used to carry voice and both circuit mode and packet mode data traffic. The D- channel may also be used to carry X ... the lower three layers of the OSI model. Consequently, an OSI end system that implements an OSI seven layer stack can contain ISDN at the lower layers. Also, services such as TCP/IP (Internet Transmission Control Protocol) can use the ISDN network. [Griffiths] Layer 1 of User-Network Interface: Layer 1 protocols provide the details that describe how the signals (electrical or optical) are encoded onto the physical medium. These protocols ... Contention Procedure - This procedure ensures that, even in the case of two or more terminals attempting to access the D channel simultaneously, one terminal will always successfully complete the transmission of information by first gaining control of the D channel and then retransmitting its information. The procedure relies on the fact that the information to be transmitted consists of layer 2 frames delimited by flags consisting of the binary pattern ...

- 235: One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest: Symbols
- ... Symbolically, the fishing trip is a radical departure from their normal lives. They are alone in the water, devoid of outside influences. With intuition and judgment as their only tools, they are free from the control of the asylum, Ratched and society. The men slowly emerge from the cocoons of weakness that once suffocated them, and learn to take control of their own destiny. The boat even goes out of control during the trip. The patients obviously become frightened - as for the first time in their lives they are forced to fend for themselves. One of the men takes control of the helm and guides ...
- 236: Windows NT vs Unix As An Operating System
- ... term "open systems" was coined. Customers began demanding better portability and interoperability between the many incompatible UNIX variants. Over the years, a variety of coalitions (e.g. UNIX International) were formed to try to gain control over and consolidate the UNIX systems category, but their success was always limited. Gradually, the industry turned to standards as a way of achieving the portability and interoperability benefits that customers wanted. However, UNIX standards ... all have identical coprocessors or none has a coprocessor. All CPUs share memory and have uniform access to memory. In a symmetric platform, every CPU can access memory, take an interrupt, and access I/O control registers. In an asymmetric platform, one CPU takes all interrupts for a set of slave CPUs. Windows NT is designed to run unchanged on uniprocessor and symmetric multiprocessor platforms A UNIX system can be regarded ... of the CPU or CPUs, memory and disk storage, terminals and other devices. On the next layer is the UNIX operating system itself. The function of the operating system is to allow access to and control the hardware and provide an interface that other software can use to access the hardware resources within the machine, without having to have complete knowledge of what the machine contains. These system calls allow ...
- 237: The Utilities Confront Y2K
- ... be affected. Embedded chips are electronic devices that are mostly in automated systems. Some of these embedded chips are time controlled devices that, much like computers, will fail after the clock strikes midnight. Such devices control the flow of water into different areas. Embedded chip failure may result in the immediate shut off of water to customers in the effected area. Suppliers also play a large part in the water utilities ... problems. Of greater concern, although, are the embedded chips. Somewhat like the water, embedded chips are used extensively in all parts of the electric power industry including generating plants, transmission lines, distribution systems, and power control systems. Only a small number of these embedded chips will have Y2K problems, making it impossible to tell which ones will need to be made compliant. Making a chip compliant is a difficult task, considering ... The electric industries problem can be narrowed down into five areas. The first area is the power production systems. Older analog controls may be less problematic, however the newer power plants are powered by Digital Control Systems (DCS). The DCSs use time-dependent algorithms, which may result in generating unit trips when encountering Y2K. Secondly, energy management systems are at risk. About 200 bulk electric control centers exist in North ...
- 238: The Use Of Propaganda In The N
- ... cruel, yet indisputable accusations. Prostitution, sexual degradation and depravity, and the sexual assaulting of unsuspecting German virgins are examples. The Germans also imagined Jew conducting ritual murders. By the time the Nazi party instituted totalitarian control, all that remained was to build on the framework provided by the nineteenth century. A framework which included anti-Semitism being common knowledge, Germans obsessive hatred toward Jews, the common belief of Jews being the ... Germany, along with the rest of the world, of Jews by whatever means necessary. Already having a foundation for their cause, all the Nazis had to do was execute their strategies. Even before gaining full control in January of 1933, they used all possible methods, and even introduced new forms of publicity, to get national attention and recognition. The Nazi party sponsored mass meetings and pageants, distributed all sorts of visual aids and propaganda, and assumed control of the radio and film industry. Once the Nazis gained control they used all the above means and more to strengthen their totalitarian control on the German population. By means of blatant false claims ...
- 239: The Computer Underground
- ... Molly, Jedi, The Mentor, Knight Lightning, and Taran King. ABSTRACT The criminalization of "deviant acts" transforms social meanings into legal ones. Yet, legal meanings are not necessari- ly social meanings. The legitimacy of statutory social control generally requires that one accept the realist textual readings of those with the power to interpret and stigmatize behaviors as inappropriate. "Moral crusades" that lead to definitions of criminalized deviance tend to reduce the meanings ... value system. We interpret the CU cul- ture as a challenge to and parody of conventional culture, as a playful attempt to reject the seriousness of technocracy, and as an ironic substitution of rational technological control of the present for an anarchic and playful future. Stigmatizing the Computer Underground The computer underground refers to persons engaged in one or more of several activities, including pirating, anarchy, hacking, and phreaking[1]. Because ... Hacker, 18," 1989). These images have prompted calls for community and law enforcement vigilance (Conly and McEwen, 1990: 2) and for application of the Racketeer Influenced and Cor- rupt Organizations (RICO) Act to prosecute and control the "crim- inals" (Cooley, 1984). These images fail to distinguish unde -ground "hobbyists," who may infringe on legal norms but have no intention of pillaging, from felonious predators, who use tech- nology to loot[ ...
- 240: Abortion: Birth Control or Legal Murder?

With the exception of laws in few states, the mutilated bodies of the victims are thrown into dumpsters like pieces of rotten ... cent during the years from1972 to 1990 while the number of abortions increased 11.7 per cent during those years (Factbot). Abortion should no longer be legal. It is rapidly becoming a form of birth control. No longer must women worry about protection, if they should conceive a child, they can choose to take its life. One-third of all babies (Planned Parenthood) are aborted, which entitles the abortion industry to ... of all abortions are done for the mother's health, where 40 percent of women who have abortions will have more than one, and 50 per cent use it as their sole means of birth control (Factbot). As for the argument that women will do them illegally in the back alleys endangering their lives, 72 per cent said they would definitely not have sought an abortion if they were illegal, ...
