			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">The internet was a brainchild of a defense project. Being a hush-hush affair, access to its features and functionalities was limited to those on a need to know basis. Since the majority of the population did not need to know, it was kept within close quarters of scientists and other looking over their shoulders. To acknowledge who invented the internet, it is thus no easy feat as many contributed their thoughts and efforts to making the making of this phenomenon. Perhaps the best and fairest method is to mention some of the names who made significant inroads from what was then to now.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Perhaps a simple comparison can be drawn up to shed some light on the matter. Think of a sheep having its fleece sheared, washed and spun into wool which then goes through the knitting process to produce various forms of attire. The history of the internet took off in the early 60&#8242;s when Leonard Kleinrock wrote a paper on packet switching theory. This was a significant step up from the existing technology. Being able to handle bursts of traffic with various loads, this addressed the basic need.</p>
<p><span id="more-152"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In terms of a language, Robert Kahn and Vint Cerf created the TCP/IP protocol as the common platform of communication. Robert Metcalfe came up with the Ethernet standard to create the computer network. The 80&#8242;s brought on Radia Perlman with her spanning tree algorithm to enable efficient bridging between these networks. As all the chips started to fall in place, Tim Berners-Lee and Robert Cailliau came up with the infamous HTML in order for applications to be written for the internet. Often times, they are accredited as the duo who invented the internet. Although they had much to do with the web as it is today, their contribution on that day in 1990 is a culmination of the efforts of others before them. Looking at the history of the internet, it is amazing to see its progress over the five decades and counting.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">There is a budding trend in the last few years for amateur cryptozoologoy, which is the study of mythical or legendary creatures, aka &#8220;cryptids&#8221;, which are considered to be nonexistent according to mainstream science. A few examples of these cryptids are the Chupacabras, Bigfoot and, the relative newcomer to the field, the Montauk Monster.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Montauk Monster</p>
<p><span id="more-149"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Montauk Monster was first discovered in July of 2008 in the business district of Montauk, New York. It was found washed up on the beach by a group of teenagers, who took photographs which subsequently ran in a local newspaper. The photos are of a small, hirsute quadruped that is badly decomposed and incidentally without much of its hair, but nonetheless shows quite distinctly a beak-like facial structure and small, finely-fingered hands. It is odd-looking to say the least, and shortly after the original story was published the photographs circulated among cryptid communities and immediately went &#8220;viral.&#8221; The photographs were displayed on national television and there was much speculation as to the type of creature it could be. Websites and blogs sprung up to follow this controversy, though within several months the general consensus was that it was a raccoon or a dog.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Continued Sightings</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The mainstream media stopped covering the story after the initial buzz died down, so what most people don&#8217;t know is that more than one carcass has been discovered and photographed on the beaches of New York. These photos show creatures in varying states of decay, so it is difficult both to identify what they might have been, and to even compare them to the original monster to determine conclusively if they&#8217;re the same creature.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The website Montauk-Monster.com was established by Nicky Papers in order to provide information on the original sighting, as well as follow up coverage on all subsequent sightings. According to this resource, there have been three &#8220;legitimate&#8221; sightings of the beast: the original in July 2008; a second found in Southhold, NY on May 5, 2009; and a third found on July 4, 2009, again in Montauk. Witness accounts seem to support that they are similar in size and appearance, however in most of these cases the carcass is either left to scavengers, disposed of by the finders, or somehow mysteriously disappears.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Montauk Monster Blanket Term</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The aforementioned website has also taken to providing information on any dead, bloated and partially decomposed carcass that is found anywhere in the world, and using &#8220;Montauk Monster&#8221; as a kind of blanket term for unidentified animals that meet these requirements. The one most closely linked to the original Montauk Monsters, known as the &#8220;Clapsaddle Carcass&#8221; was found in New London, CT in September of 2008, and is very similar in appearance to the others. Besides that there have been stories and photographs posted describing creatures from Canada, Panama, Russia and Missouri.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">While one sighting can and usually is quickly dismissed, for three similar, unknown creatures to wash up in close proximity to one another is definitely odd. Many people speculate that they could be coming from the offshore research facility located on the nearby Plum Island, which is known to conduct animal testing. Unfortunately, until a corpse is found in better condition and can be clearly shown to be an unknown species, all of these coincidences will likely continue to be swept under the rug.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">I love computers and I love using software. There are hundreds copies of software which basically allows you to do everything what you can imagine. There is software for doing animations, adjusting photos. If you interested in architecture there are numbers programs which can help you design your ideas. If you would like to see what is happening on the other side of the globe, there is software which can help you do that. It is quite common for some people to have to computers. One is desktop station and the other is laptop ( or recently netbooks).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So, what would happen if you forgot to copy one file from you desktop PC to your laptop for your presentation for a new customer? I bet It would be very difficult to say &#8211; I am sorry! I forgot! Well, you can&#8217;t even use this as excuse. Why? Well because there is proper software which allows you to connect remotely to your PC and download that particular file. But all of these are commercial, usually quite expensive software. Some of them cost as little as $50 a year to use and other are sky high expensive (over $3000).</p>
<p><span id="more-146"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Yep, there is software that expensive. What else you can do with software? There are some people using software to look for aliens even. What they did is they connected multiple numbers of computers in order to create one big, super computer. Thanks to proper software they can receive data from receiver and send it through their network to particular computers. After data is calculated, proper software sends data back to the network centre. If you are lucky and your PC will find someone there &#8211; I think a history will remember you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">The literature reveals fewer examples of the direct impact that proponents of cultural pluralism had on schooling at the turn of the 20th century. However, there is much commentary from that period suggesting that a significant minority of Americans at the time rejected the chauvinism and paternalism inherent to the Americanization program. One stunning example comes from a U.S. Bureau of Education evaluation, reprinted in Cohen&#8217;s collection of primary sources, of an adult Americanization program in Passaic, New Jersey, from 1920.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The evaluation reveals a commitment to what nowadays would be called &#8220;student-centered instruction&#8221; and a deep respect for the knowledge and values that immigrant students bring with them to the classroom. The report sharply criticizes the disconnected nature of English lessons and uses negative attendance data to call for the use of immigrants&#8217; schedules and stated needs to drive the scheduling and topics of class.</p>
<p><span id="more-143"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Frank Thompson framed the issue in especially acute terms. In his 1920 work, The Schooling of the Immigrants, he asked whether we should assimilate immigrants by compulsion or persuasion. His argument questioned the &#8220;American values&#8221; allegedly at the heart of Americanization: A curious paradox seems involved in estimating the advantages of either method of assimilation: to democratize our newer brethren we must resort to autocratic procedures; the democratic method does not promise to democratize.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">But the democratic method at least has permitted the immigrant to Americanize himself. Many authors continued by identifying the central contradiction of assimilation, namely, that coerced assimilation often leads to maintenance of ethnic heritage as a form of resistance.</p>
