Arguing for Authenticity: A Comparison and Contrast of Two American Mod
ââ¬Å"[F]uture commentators on American poetry and political issues will not be able to ignore [historical context of the author]â⬠argues Barry Ahearn, author of the article ââ¬Å"Poetry: 1900 to the 1940ââ¬â¢s,â⬠which discusses the importance of the ââ¬Å"authentic voice of the regionâ⬠in poetry that gives each work legitimacy (Ahearn 373). The author uses criticism regarding various authors and responds to each with a different argument, such as the mentioning of alcohol in female poetry versus using the ââ¬Å"cultural clichà © â⬠¦ of Appalachian moonshineâ⬠in female poetry (Ahearn 372-373). Ahearn discusses writers such as: Sterling A. Brown, Langston Hughes, H.D. (Hilda Doolittle), Robert Frost, Robinson Jeffers, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Lorine Niedecker, George Oppen, John Crowe Ransom, Charles Rezikoff, Muriel Rukeyser, Gertrude Stine, Wallace Stevens, Sara Teasdale, William Carlos Williams, and Louis Zukofksy. The purpose of mentio ning so many others, so claims Ahearn, is to gather a survey of works between 1900 and the 1940ââ¬â¢s. The author talks more about some writers more than others; for instance, Ahearn points out William Carlos Williams and Wallace Stevens differing qualities to the point of describing them as so opposite that they are, in fact, almost dependent on each other. For the purposes of this paper, however, I will be examining how the author discusses Langston Hughes and Robert Frost; both of which he describes in great detail. The discussion of these writers creates a wide range of Modernist authors that influenced each other and the people who read their works. The author claims that it is the authenticity of the writer that creates a more accurate work of literature, and the life experiences of these authors, that adds to th... ...thesis statement. The individual sections of this article were well written and each seemed to have its own thesis statement. Each section could be expanded and turned into a very interesting paper on its own. Though it seems that the author wanted to talk about too many authors at one time, creating an article that gives many ideas, but not as much connectivity or flow. Works Cited Barry Ahearn.

Layman View of Osi Reference Model
Layman View of OSI Reference Model (By Diganta Deka, Former Student, Proprietor-Trainer East India Technologies, Guwahati. ), diganta. [emailà protected] com When we talk about computer networks and how computers operate in networks, things do not remain as simple as it seems to be. Here numerous protocols work in tandem for the sake of data integrity during the course of data transfer. To make things worse there are a lot of vendors in the market who provide and produce great number of network hardware and push us to use them.Therefore to provide a solution and to make all these devices communicate in 1984, The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) developed the Open Systems Interconnections (OSI) reference model. Basically it described how information is transferred from one networking component to another, from the point when a user enters information using a mouse or a keyboard to when that information is converted to electrical or light signals transferred along a piece of wire or radio waves through the air and vice versa.So we can say, OSI reference model provides a foundation to use when you are considering what happens between the network components when they talk with each other. ISO developed a seven layer model which allowed vendors and network administrators to understand a stable data transfer and also provided guidelines for implementing new networking standards. Table-1 below briefly describes these layers, their associated services and protocols supported. Layer| Function| Service Description| | Application| The Application layer provides an interface between the communication software and any other application that needs to communicate outside the computer on which the application resides. This layer represents the services that directly support applications such as software for file transfers, database access, and electronic mail. | 6| Presentation| The Presentation layer translates data from the Application layer into an int ermediary format, such as ASCII text, EBCDIC text, binary, BCD, JPEG etc.This layer also provides services such as data encryption, and data compression. | 5| Session| The Session layer allows two applications on different computers to establish, use, and end a session. This includes the control and management of multiple bidirectional messages so that the application can be notified if only some of a series of messages are completed. This allows Presentation layer to have a seamless view of an incoming stream of data. | 4| Transport| The Transport layer defines the end-to-end transmission of data between nodes (e. . PCs), including flow control and error recognition and recovery. It also repackages long messages when necessary into smaller packets for transmission and, at the receiving end, rebuilds packets into the original message. | 3| Network| The Network layer provides routing, logical network addressing, path determination, media/framing translation, frame fragmentation, and congestion signaling/control. The routing concepts define how devices route or forward packets to their final destination.Logical addressing defines how each device can have an address that can be used by the routing process. Path determination refers to the work done by which all possible routes are learned, but the best route is chosen for use. | 2| Data Link| The Data Link layer packages raw bits from the Physical layer into frames (logical, structured packets). This layer specifies the device addressing, topology and media access, bit/byte synchronization, flow control, and error detection/recovery services associated with sending frames of data over a physical link. 1| Physical| The Physical layer specifies how bit streams are to be transmitted over a physical link in the network. This includes physical characteristics of transmission medium, including pins, use of pins, electrical, current, encoding, light modulation and the rules for how to activate and deactivate the use of the physical medium. | Table-1 Within the network, data traverses a network stack using a process called encapsulation. When an application requires communications resources, the message is handed over to the network stackââ¬â¢s application layer.There, the message is processed into a Protocol Data Unit (PDU). Application specific header information is wrapped around the data. The resultant PDU is then passed to the stackââ¬â¢s presentation layer, where additional header information is added. Each subsequent layer in the source systemââ¬â¢s network stack adds service-specific header information to the PDU, until a fully formatted data frame is presented to the physical layer for transmission onto the communications medium.This encapsulation process is illustrated in Figure 1. Encapsulation Process Fig-1 The real data transfer process starts from the Transport Layer, where the data is segmented and hence the data is termed as segment in transport layer. When the segments rea ch the network layer each segment is broken into packets. As these packets are transferred to Data Link Layer each packet is again broken into frames and in Physical Layer the frames converts into Bits. When the bit stream reaches the destination system, the reverse occurs.Each layer in the destination systemââ¬â¢s network stack analyzes and then strips its associated header information from the message. The resultant PDU is then passed to the next higher layer, until the original message is presented to the destination application. Typically, a communication layer does not process, or alter the PDUââ¬â¢s content as generated by an adjacent layer. Information exchange only occurs between peer OSI layers. The peer relationship between OSI layers is illustrated in Figure 2.Illustrated Peer Relationship between OSI Layers Bit Stream Frame Packet Segment Data Stream Data Stream Data Stream Bit Stream Frame Packet Segment Data Stream Data Stream Data Stream Figure-2 Till now we hav e been talking about the concept behind the OSI reference model, but if we do not discuss about the protocols (protocol is an agreed set of rules by which devices in a network or number of networks can successfully communicate with each other) and devices that work in each layer of the model then the discussion would remain incomplete.Table-2 and Table-3 respectively represent the devices and the protocols used in various layers in the OSI Reference Model. Devices and the Layers at Which They Function Layer| Name of the layer| Devices| 3| Network| Router, Layer3 Switch| 2| Data Link| Switch, Bridge and NIC| 1| Physical| Hub, Repeater| Table-2 Protocols and the Layers at Which They Function Name of the Layers| Protocols| Application| FTP, Telnet, NFS, HTTP, TFTP, DHCP, DNS, VoIP, SNMP, POP3, SMTP| Presentation| ASCII, HTML, JPEG| Session| SQL, RPC|Transport| TCP, UDP, SPX| Network| IP, X. 25, IPX, Q. 931| Data Link| HDLC, Ethernet, LLC, Frame Relay, ATM, Q. 921, FDDI| Physical| RS-23 2, V. 35, 10bT, RJ45, G. 703/G. 704| Table-3 In the field of networking there very few people who is not aware of OSI reference model and it is impossible to imagine the world of Information Technology without this model. Over the years we have come across so many network hardware, software or operating systems but everything is manufactured keeping OSI reference model as a benchmark.

Positive Case for Compatibilism and the Free Will Problem Free Essays
The concept of free will has been a point of contention for philosophers for several decades. One of the reasons for these diverging viewpoints is the debate on how exactly to define the word free. It would be misleading to attribute any one exclusive idea to the concept. We will write a custom essay sample on Positive Case for Compatibilism and the Free Will Problem or any similar topic only for you Order Now However it is agreed neutrally that it is an exercise of an individualââ¬â¢s behavior in order for him to take moral responsibility for his actions. A person who takes on his moral responsibility is one who can chose to make decisions that are morally right or wrong. Thus, the blame or reward for the outcome of the decision falls squarely on his shoulders. It is understood that free will is an essential component of these decisions. Conceptually it can be understood how the pre-determined nature of the universe can casually affect our decisions to such a point where free will is no longer applicable. However the theory of compatibilism states that free will and determinism are not mutually exclusive. That they can exist together without conflict, that an individual can exercise free will when faced with pre-determined factors. This topic will analyze, synthesize and evaluate arguments related to the problems associated with the concept of free will and how compatibilism offers a solution to these problems (McKenna, 2004). In order to understand how compatibilism acts as a solution to the free will problem it is first important to understand that there are several concepts used attributed to free will. When these concepts are conjoined to others they invariably create several contradictions. In order to avoid these problems it is important to consider the classic formulation of free will which informs us of then several key factors associated with it. The first is that the individual has a choice to act in more than one way in a situation. However any action taken by an individual qualifies as an event with various causes that effect the individualââ¬â¢s decision. Thus, the cause is casually determined and the individual cannot act in any way other than what is pre-determined by these factors. It should be noted that the existence of free will is tantamount upon the fact that the individual has no extraneous source compelling him to act. Rather all his decisions making is contingent upon his own compulsion to follow his decisions in the face of alternate possibilities. It is only in such a case that freedom to assume moral responsibility exists (McKenna, 2004). John Martin Fincher is a philosopher who is responsible for refining the viewpoint that suggested that decisions which constitute the free will of an individual can be affected by a number of reasons. This proves why certain people can have different reactions to the same situation and rules out those individuals who have compulsive or neurotic behavior. The refined viewpoint by Martin Fincher is known as the reasons-responsiveness theory which states that even though there are considerations which may affect the decisions of an individual. The decision made it can still be considered to be an individual free will since the choice made is rationally based according to the factors affecting the individual (McKenna, 2004). Another concept attributed to Compatibilism is P.F Strawsonââ¬â¢s concept of moral responsibility. This is similar to Humeââ¬â¢s concept and says that the practice of holding an individual morally responsible for his or her own actions is formed on the basis of both emotional and societal structures. He said that the existence of these critical responses is part of human nature defined by our basic emotional natures and cannot be abandoned, thus the fact that determinism affects our moral responsibility does not hold ground. However in certain cases an individual can choose to give up their moral judgments in favor of rationalizing the individuals actions can exist as well but only in the cases where the actions gains favors or losses to human life (Kane, 2002 p. 516-521). There are of course objections to the theories of compatibilism. One of the principle arguments for incompatibilism comes from Carl Ginet. The argument given by him states that the power of an individual to affect change does not extend to factors such as those of nature that are by their very nature unchangeable. And if a certain fact affects a person directly and the consequences of that fact exist than the person will be affected by the consequences of that fact as well. Thus in the face of these facts determinism becomes true and since no one can change the facts that cause the situation, no one can affect the future (McKenna, 2004).

Legal Environment of Business Corporations and Securities Legislation
Question: Discuss about the Legal Environment of Business for Corporations and Securities Legislation. Answer: Registration of Company Share Register To: The Board of Directors of the Company From: The Company SecretarySubject: The Share Register Under the corporations act, it is required that the company should have one member at least who is termed as being the shareholder of the company (Latimer, 1996). These shareholders may either be under section 120 of the Corporations Act 2001 (The Act) those who are incorporating or forming the company firsthand or those who have been issued the companys shares after the same has been incorporated or those who acquire those shares which to them have been transferred and these shareholders shall have to enter their names in the "Register of Members" or the "Share Register" or the "Register of the Shareholders" as provided under Section 231 of The Act (1994 Australian corporations securities legislation, 1994). Attached format of Share Register: Constitution Corporations Act Company Limited by Shares Rules of XYZ Company Private LimitedACN 123 456 789 Preliminary The replaceable rules and this Constitution shall be jointly applicable to the Company. General The name of the Company is XYZ Private Limited. The members liability in this company is limited. The Corporations Act 2001 provisions with respect to the replaceable rules shall be applicable to the company wherever the same has been included specifically herein. In the places where there has been the specific exclusion of the replaceable rules, the same will stand specifically excluded (Law of companies in Australia, 1986). Interpretation Unless other required by the context the phrases and words mentioned below shall have the meaning as mentioned below:Act means the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth.);ASIC means the Australian Securities and Investment Commission;Board of Directors means the Board of Directors of the Company;Common Seal means the companys common seal (if any);Company Secretary means the person who has been appointed by the company for the performance of duties as the companys secretary;Constitution means this Constitution and any amendments/addendums to the constitution thereto;General Meeting means the companys member meeting;Replaceable Rules means the rules which are referred to in the Act as the replaceable rules.Registered Office means for the time being the registered office of the Company;Register Shareholders means registration of the members in pursuant to the provisions of the Act.Section means wherever the term section has been used in this act it would mean a section of the Act. Preference Shares The Company may subject to the Act issue preference shares including preference shares that are redeemable. These preference shares are to be issued on the terms on which they are or at the company's or holder's option and shall be liable to be redeemed whether the company has the profit or not (Gillies, 2004). These preferences are to confer upon the holders of these shares the right of converting it into ordinary shares on the basis and if it is determined by the Board at the time when the preference shares are being issued (Australian corporations securities legislation 2005, 2005). There shall be conferring on the holder by the preference shares the right of receiving the profits that the Company avails for preferential dividends dividend on the basis that the Board shall determine at the time when the preference shares are issued; There shall be participation of the preference shares along with the ordinary shares when the Board declares the dividends to the extent and if the Board at the time when the preference shares are issued determines (Australian corporations securities legislation 2005, 2005); and At the time of issuing of preference shares the Board may determine that the preferential are cumulative and if cumulative to the extent to which it shall be cumulative The holders of the preference share are to be conferred with (a) the redemption right, and wherein there is a winding up priority for payment in case as compared to any other class of shares (Australian corporations legislation, 2010); and The right of being given the priority with respect to the payment of any dividend over any other class of shares, to those dividends which are preferential in nature.There is no conferring of any further rights to the holders of the preference shares by the preference shares for participating in the profits or the assets of the company (Brophy Gupta, 1976); Voting Right The rights that are conferred to the preference shareholders is same as that which are conferred to the Ordinary Shareholders for attending of any general meeting of the members of the Company and only in the following situations and in no other situations can there be a right of vote in the members general meeting (Davis, 1996): Where there are an unpaid Preference Shares with respect to a Dividend during a period in which there is a meeting called; Where there is a proposal for reducing the share capital of the Company; With respect to a resolution which is for the buy-back agreements terms being approved with respect to the Company; Where there is proposal which would affect the rights which have been attached with the Preference Shares (Christensen, Kent, Stewart, 2010); Where there is proposal for winding up of the Company; and When the company is being wound up; Voting Rights If there is a permit for voting under the clause 2.6 then in that case each of the holders of Preference Shares will have the rights mentioned below with respect to their Preference Shares in the general meeting of the members: One vote will be given to per shareholders at the time of show of hands; and In the case of a poll, per fully paid Preference Share shall have one full vote and partly paid Preference Shareholder shall have the fraction of the vote which is proportionate to the amount which has been paid for issuing of the Preference Share, which is partly paid. Accounts and Reports: The right of receiving audited accounts, notices and reports shall be same as that of the holder of Ordinary Shares. Prevailing of Preference Share ProvisionsThe provisions of preference shares as described in the Part 2 shall prevail over all the other provisions of the Constitution to the extent of there being an inconsistency. Section 124Under section 124 of the Corporations Act 2001 (The Act), the companies, have been empowered specifically for borrowing money, granting of security for these loan(s) and issuing of shares. Under the section 124, the companies have also been empowered to the issue of shares and also to have the option over such shares (Corporations Act 2001 reprinted on 16 June 2006 (taking into account amendments up to and including those made by Act No. 17, 2006), 2006). For facilitation of the companys operations in a manner that is effective decision has to be made by the managers of the company and also these decisions are required to be implemented with respect to the companys need for capital. These decisions include decisions regarding the amount of the capital which the company requires and the source of capital which would prove to be most effective for the company. If the companies want to expand the opportunities with respect to trading in the future, there will inevitably be a necessity for financing such operations either by way borrowing of funds directly through a financial institutions agency or by way of shares and issue such share or by way of debentures which are issued. This section provides for the company to be able to raise such capital ("CORPORATIONS ACT 2001 - SECT 588MRecovery of compensation for loss resulting from insolvent trading", 2016).Section 129(1) The section 129(1) assumption is concerned with the constitution of the company and any of The Acts replaceable rules that are applicable (Latimer, 1996). It is provided under the section 129(1) that it may be assumed by an individual that the constitution of a company, if any, and any of the replaceable rules under The Acts provision that are applicable on the company have been complied with by the company ("CORPORATIONS ACT 2001 - SECT 129Assumptions that can be made under section 128", 2016). The statutory espousal by the Section 129(1) of the CL IMR is represented. Under the principle of this section a person who is contracting with a given company and wherein the individual is dealing with the company in good faith it may be assumed by the individual that all such acts are within the constitution of the company and there has been a due and proper performance of all the powers, and there is no binding on such individual to enquiring whether there have been regular acts by the management which is internal (Pentony Lennard, 2000).Section 588M (3) Under this section the creditor in a manner as provided under the B subdivision however not in any other manner may recover directly from the director, for the debts which are due to such creditor, an amount being equal to the amount of damage or loss suffered by the creditor. The section 588M(3) provides invariably a right to the creditors for suing the director for compensation when it comes to a situation where there has been insolvent trading directly ("CORPORATIONS ACT 2001 - SECT 588MRecovery of compensation for loss resulting from insolvent trading", 2016). Also in the even where the company undergoes liquidation and there has been a breach by the director under section 588M then pursuant to section 588M(3) of The Act the creditor of the company, with the liquidator of the companys consent, may from the director of the company, as a debt which shall be due to the company, recover an amount which amounts to the damage and loss which the creditors directors have suffered from the director (Symon, 2006). Such creditor directors should be those are a subject of the claims with respect to the companys insolvent trading and the defenses which have been set out under section 588H of The Act are available to them (Vermeesch Lindgren, 1992).
