The Lost Symbol Chapter 33-36

Section 33 Frameworks security authority Mark Zoubianis was sinking further into his futon and frowning at the data on his PC screen. What the heck sort of address is this? His best hacking devices were totally ineffectual at breaking into the report or at exposing Trish's baffling IP address. Ten minutes had passed, and Zoubianis' program was all the while beating ceaselessly futile at the system firewalls. They demonstrated little any desire for entrance. No big surprise they're overpaying me. He was going to retool and attempt an alternate methodology when his telephone rang. Trish, for the wellbeing of Christ, I said I'd call you. He quieted the football match-up and replied. â€Å"Yeah?† â€Å"Is this Mark Zoubianis?† a man inquired. â€Å"At 357 Kingston Drive in Washington?† Zoubianis could hear other stifled discussions out of sight. A phone salesperson during the end of the season games? Is it accurate to say that they are crazy? â€Å"Let me surmise, I won seven days in Anguilla?† â€Å"No,† the voice answered with no hint of amusingness. â€Å"This is frameworks security for the Central Intelligence Agency. We might want to know why you are endeavoring to hack one of our ordered databases?† Three stories over the Capitol Building's subbasement, in the all the way open spaces of the guest place, security monitor Nunez bolted the primary section entryways as he did each night right now. As he headed back over the sweeping marble floors, he thought of the man in the military overflow coat with the tattoos. I let him in. Nunez thought about whether he would have work tomorrow. As he made a beeline for the lift, an abrupt beating outwardly entryways made him turn. He squinted back toward the principle passageway and saw an old African American man outside, rapping on the glass with his open palm and motioning to be allowed in. Nunez shook his head and highlighted his watch. The man beat again and ventured into the light. He was flawlessly wearing a blue suit and had neatly trimmed turning gray hair. Nunez's heartbeat enlivened. Good lord. Indeed, even a ways off, Nunez now perceived who this man was. He rushed back to the passageway and opened the entryway. â€Å"I'm sorry, sir. If you don't mind please come in.† Warren Bellamyâ€Architect of the Capitolâ€stepped over the limit and expressed gratitude toward Nunez with a well mannered gesture. Bellamy was agile and thin, with an erect stance and penetrating look that oozed the certainty of a man in full control of his environmental factors. For the last a quarter century, Bellamy had filled in as the manager of the U.S. State house. â€Å"May I help you, sir?† Nunez inquired. â€Å"Thank you, yes.† Bellamy articulated his words with fresh accuracy. As a northeastern Ivy League graduate, his style was so demanding he sounded practically British. â€Å"I've recently discovered that you had an occurrence here this evening.† He looked profoundly concerned. â€Å"Yes, sir. It wasâ€â€Å" â€Å"Where's Chief Anderson?† â€Å"Downstairs with Director Sato from the CIA's Office of Security.† Bellamy's eyes extended with concern. â€Å"The CIA is here?† â€Å"Yes, sir. Chief Sato showed up very quickly after the incident.† â€Å"Why?† Bellamy requested. Nunez shrugged. As though I would inquire? Bellamy walked legitimately toward the elevators. â€Å"Where are they?† â€Å"They just went to the lower levels.† Nunez hurried after him. Bellamy looked back with a look of concern. â€Å"Downstairs? Why?† â€Å"I don't generally knowâ€I simply heard it on my radio.† Bellamy was moving quicker at this point. â€Å"Take me to them right away.† â€Å"Yes, sir.† As the two men rushed over the open field, Nunez got a brief look at an enormous brilliant ring on Bellamy's finger. Nunez pulled out his radio. â€Å"I'll alarm the central that you're coming down.† â€Å"No.† Bellamy's eyes flashed hazardously. â€Å"I'd want to be unannounced.† Nunez had committed some large errors today, however neglecting to caution Chief Anderson that the Architect was presently in the structure would be his last. â€Å"Sir?† he stated, uncomfortable. â€Å"I figure Chief Anderson would preferâ€â€Å" â€Å"You know that I utilize Mr. Anderson?† Bellamy said. Nunez gestured. â€Å"Then I figure he would incline toward you comply with my wishes.† Part 34 Trish Dunne entered the SMSC entryway and gazed upward with shock. The visitor holding up here looked in no way like the standard adademic, wool clad specialists who entered this buildingâ€those of human studies, oceanography, geography, and other logical fields. Very despite what might be expected, Dr. Abaddon glanced practically highborn in his faultlessly custom-made suit. He was tall, with a wide middle, very much tanned face, and completely brushed fair hair that gave Trish the impression he was more acquainted with extravagances than to research facilities. â€Å"Dr. Abaddon, I presume?† Trish stated, broadening her hand. The man looked dubious, however he took Trish's full hand in his wide palm. â€Å"I'm sorry. What's more, you are?† â€Å"Trish Dunne,† she answered. â€Å"I'm Katherine's partner. She requested that I escort you back to her lab.† â€Å"Oh, I see.† The man grinned now. â€Å"Very ideal to meet you, Trish. My statements of regret in the event that I appeared to be confounded. I was under the impression Katherine was here alone this evening.† He motioned a few doors down. â€Å"But I'm all yours. Lead the way.† Regardless of the man's speedy recuperation, Trish had seen the blaze of dissatisfaction in his eyes. She currently speculated the rationale in Katherine's mystery prior about Dr. Abaddon. A growing sentiment, possibly? Katherine never examined her public activity, however her guest was appealing and very much prepared, and albeit more youthful than Katherine, he plainly originated from her universe of riches and benefit. In any case, whatever Dr. Abaddon had envisioned today around evening time's visit may involve, Trish's essence didn't appear to be a piece of his arrangement. At the entryway's security checkpoint, a solitary gatekeeper immediately pulled off his earphones, and Trish could hear the Redskins game booming. The gatekeeper put Dr. Abaddon through the typical guest routine of metal finders and brief security identifications. â€Å"Who's winning?† Dr. Abaddon said approachably as he exhausted his pockets of a mobile phone, a few keys, and a cigarette lighter. â€Å"Skins by three,† the gatekeeper stated, sounding anxious to get back. â€Å"Helluva game.† â€Å"Mr. Solomon will show up shortly,† Trish told the watchman. â€Å"Would you please send him back to the lab once he arrives?† â€Å"Will do.† The gatekeeper gave a grateful wink as they went through. â€Å"Thanks for the heads-up. I'll look busy.† Trish's remark had been to help the gatekeeper as well as to remind Dr. Abaddon that Trish was not by any means the only one barging in on his private night here with Katherine. â€Å"So how would you know Katherine?† Trish asked, looking up at the baffling visitor. Dr. Abaddon laughed. â€Å"Oh, it's a long story. We've been chipping away at something together.† Comprehended, Trish thought. Not my issue to worry about. â€Å"This is an astounding facility,† Abaddon stated, looking around as they descended the enormous hall. â€Å"I've never really been here.† His breezy tone was getting increasingly cheerful with each progression, and Trish saw he was effectively taking it all in. In the brilliant lights of the lobby, she additionally saw that his face seemed as though he had a phony tan. Odd. In any case, as they explored the abandoned hallways, Trish gave him a general rundown of the SMSC's motivation and capacity, including the different cases and their substance. The guest looked dazzled. â€Å"Sounds like this spot has a fortune trove of inestimable ancient rarities. I would have expected watchmen posted everywhere.† â€Å"No need,† Trish stated, motioning to the column of fish-eye focal points coating the roof high above. â€Å"Security here is mechanized. Every last trace of this passageway is recorded twenty-four/seven, and this hallway is the spine of the office. It's difficult to get to any of the rooms off this hallway without a key card and PIN number.† â€Å"Efficient utilization of cameras.† â€Å"Knock on wood, we've never had a burglary. On the other hand, this isn't the sort of historical center anybody would robâ€there's very little approach the underground market for wiped out blossoms, Inuit kayaks, or mammoth squid carcasses.† Dr. Abaddon laughed. â€Å"I assume you're right.† â€Å"Our greatest security danger is rodents and insects.† Trish clarified how the structure forestalled creepy crawly invasions by freezing all SMSC decline and furthermore by a design include called a â€Å"dead zone†Ã¢â‚¬an aloof compartment between twofold dividers, which encompassed the whole structure like a sheath. â€Å"Incredible,† Abaddon said. â€Å"So, where is Katherine and Peter's lab?† â€Å"Pod Five,† Trish said. â€Å"It's right toward the finish of this hallway.† Abaddon ended out of nowhere, turning on his right side, toward a little window. â€Å"My word! Will you take a gander at that!† Trish snickered. â€Å"Yeah, that is Pod Three. They call it Wet Pod.† â€Å"Wet?† Abaddon stated, face squeezed to the glass. â€Å"There are more than 3,000 gallons of fluid ethanol in there. Recall the monster squid corpse I referenced earlier?† â€Å"That's the squid?!† Dr. Abaddon abandoned the window immediately, his eyes wide. â€Å"It's huge!† â€Å"A female Architeuthis,† Trish said. â€Å"She's more than forty feet.† Dr. Abaddon, evidently enchanted by seeing the squid, appeared to be not able to pull his eyes from the glass. For a second, the developed man helped Trish to remember a young man at a pet-store window, wishing he could go in and see a little dog. After five seconds, he was all the while gazing longingly through the window. â€Å"Oka

Comparing Beowulf And The Second Shepherd - 1486 Words

Human beings have always loved a well-told story. Whether it be fiction, non-fiction, or a shady mixture, there has not been a time when people did not pass along accounts of adventures. There is one common and essential element in each. It can be nature, another human or creature, or the protagonist himself, but there must be a bad guy. In order for any story to complete a purpose or make a point, it must have some monster to war against. The villainous characters in Beowulf and the Second Shepherd’s Play contrast in almost every conceivable way. The culture and time periods of both these stories affect not only the monsters’ physical manifestations, but also their relationships to the protagonists’ purposes. They are separated further by†¦show more content†¦However, he stuck with the pattern of if Beowulf succeeded in his quest then it was because God allowed it, but if he failed it was because of fate. God is not directly involved in the lives of ind ividuals here. He is some far-off powerful being who is treated with respect from a distance. In a story with an ambiguous power that may be directly involved, ambiguous monsters fit in perfectly. For the Anglo-Saxons, who are still becoming familiarized with the Bible, a new, terrifying demonic descendent of Cain, Grendel, makes a fantastic monster. He is even more frightening than the average monster since his origins lean in a more human direction. Despite this, he is only a part of the story to provide a challenger for the hero to defeat. He is not developed to any extent as a humanistic character, and most of the poet’s work goes into describing the vengeful motivations driving is attack on Heorot (Bishop). Grendel’s actions are predatorial and any humanity he has harkens back to the beginning of the species. He wants to kill the Danes he feels have wronged him just like how Cain killed Able when he felt wronged. However, he is less human than even Cain and shows his animalist predation by not only killed unabashedly, but by also eating his victims (Parks). Rather than him coming directly after our hero, Beowulf, it isShow MoreRelatedComparison Between Beowulf And The 13th Warrior1691 Words   |  7 PagesCaitlin Williams World Literature April 27, 2015 Christopher Tamigi Comparing different Religions in Beowulf and The 13th Warrior Religions play various different roles throughout literature, the most common one I think of is Christianity.

Human Values and Professional Ethics

Question: Discuss about the Human Values and Professional Ethics. Answer: Introduction: Engineer X is apparently one of the top most officials in State Y highway department. Engineer X would like to abandon his position and become an executive with an engineering/architecture firm. He requests permission from the government to give in a new position. The state declines to grant the permission, arguing that in accepting the request put forth, the engineer would be acting in contrary to the state laws. The provisions of the state laws are such that a senior highway official has to wait for at least one year after quitting State Y highway department before joining a private firm doing the business. Engineer X opts to quit the State Y highway department and joins the engineering/architecture firms as an independent contractor rather than as an employee. Conflict of interest as an ethical issue has been subjected to numerous discussions and arguments but the NSPE Board of Ethical Review and in most instances, conflict of interest has been displayed as a complex issue. However, for other cases, they have been straightforward and relatively simple to go about. Besides this case, among other cases of conflict of interest that have been considered by NSPE Board of Review of Ethical Review include BER Cases 06-10, 14-1 besides 14-8. In the Case 06-10, Engineer B, a manager in the quality assurance department at company W, noticed that the purchases manager of the company had gone into a supply contract with a new supplies company of plastic components. It came to be known that the production manager at the new supplier outlet was a spouse to the quality assurance manager, something that was not known to anyone in Company W. The quality assurance manager did not have a hand in creating such a situation hence had no efforts pressurize any party in relation to the dealings of the parties [3, pp. 65]. The Board of Ethical Review in making its final verdict required the engineer to give full disclosure that he was the husband of a key employee of a vendor to appropriate managers within his company. The board further required him to recuse himself from any categorical dealings with the vendo. The board claimed it could easily predict circumstances in which Engineer C, as a quality assurance manager, would be required to evaluate the quality of the products supplied by the vendor. In case any discrepancies and uncertainties arise with regard to the product then the engineer would find himself in a highly conflicted personal situation i.e. between the interests of his wife and her employer and the interests of his employer. In Case 14-8, an Engineer Z has been serving in a private engineering company in the department dealing with water rights. A client has hired the company to help him with the completion of the water-rights analysis, an undertaking in which Engineer Z took part. Together with another employee in the company, Engineer Z signed and sealed the final document. As part of the contract, these types of analysis set out terms and conditions that may be required to be approved by the law courts in the future, a process that takes an average of two years. The engineer did his part of the project as required by the process and resigned from the company to serve in the State, which was an objector in the water analysis project. The engineer feels he should stand by the services he delivered and which was part of the sealed report but he is bothered of the remaining steps in the court process. In his capacity in the state employment, he is isolated from the case of the State in the matter and his position does not allow him to oppose this case or any other cases. In this regard, the Board of Ethical Review decided that the engineer has a duty to honor his obligations both to the private client and his former employer. In this regard, the Board suggests the engineer should have been assigned other duties by the government and keep aloof from its case of water rights involving the engineer's former employer and client. The State should acknowledge and respect the engineer's ethical obligations in the case. Regarding the case in question, the Board of Review believes that the earlier cases are instructive. At the threshold, a potential conflict of interest lies between the obligations of Engineer X to his former employer, the state highway department, and the party with which the engineer is now contracting, the architecture/engineering firm. In as much as disclosure of information about the ongoings and intentions have been made, the Board, in its opinion, the disclosure itself is not sufficient for Engineer X to meet ethical requirements and provisions. At the same time, provision and agreement for a one-year break after quitting public service before accepting a related job is not supported by disguising the employment as independent contracting. The action by Engineer X to proceed and join the architecture/engineering firm as an independent contractor rather than as employees is one of the ways of circumventing state law. In this light, the Board of Ethical Review has a reason to believe that the actions of Engineer P were unethical. Conclusion It is against the provisions of the codes of engineering ethics for Engineer X to join the architecture/engineering firm as an independent contractor as opposed to an executive employee in such a way that is aimed at bending state laws and regulation. To avoid a repeat of the same incidence in the future I would advise engineers and clients to act fairly and loyalty is maintained to all stakeholders involved in the engineering profession. The loyalty comes along with the engineer expressing satisfaction in the contract work he has at hand that would see an outside client not conflict with his duty to his employer. Still, I would advise the engineers to act with the highest degree of integrity and personal honor in the dispensation of their professional duties [4, pp. 67]. References Clark, JR.
