True, free private search on a large scale is impossible to offer at present. We have tried for years now to obtain another private search partnership since Google annulled ours, but it simply isnt possible. Its cost us hundreds of thousands of dollars (even with the donations from thousands of you) over the past few years to keep Epic going. The expense is so great at our scale we couldnt afford to launch our mobile browsers even though they’ve been ready and are fantastic. Epic protects hundreds of thousands of people around the world everyday. Our encrypted proxy/VPN is powered by hundreds of servers in eight different countries. To keep Epic an ongoing project, we had to become sustainable via our search options. Epic will now have two search options: free search by Yahoo & paid private search via EpicSearch.in.

When you use the default Yahoo-powered search in Epic, youll get better search results and support our mission including more frequent releases and hundreds more servers for our encrypted proxy/VPN. All searches sent to Yahoo are encrypted for your privacy and security. According to their requirements, Yahoo search does bypass both our proxy and adblock. Upon ad click in Yahoo search, the proxy and adblock remain disabled for several seconds. Their goal is to insure the integrity of their search ad marketplace. Due to their policies, a few other Yahoo sites including Techcrunch, Engadget, Autoblog, HuffPo and AOL bypass our adblock. No other sites bypass our adblock or proxy so Epic works almost entirely as it always has except in respect to the Yahoo sites.

We believe it is impossible at present to offer honest, free private search. Weve received many requests to support so-called private search engines such as Startpage, DuckDuckGo and others. To our knowledge there are no exceptions to Google/Bing mandates to share a users IP address and or location both to retrieve search ads and upon search ad click. It is misleading to claim to be private if youre sharing your users data with Google/Bing. Despite multiple requests, they refuse to explain to us how they work.

Stategic leadership APA style

/in /by

Strategic leadership is not a term that everyone understands.  In this exercise, you are required to discover, document, and compare and contrast three (3) definitions of strategic leadership from three (3) unique scholarly sources.  Using the online Jerry Falwell Library (JFL), draw one definition each from a source found in the following databases:  Business Source Complete, ERIC, and a database of your choosing (not connected to the other two).  Limit your search to the last five (5) years and select only from sources that are full-text PDF.

Write a 900 word double-spaced paper in APA format that evaluates the definitions found in these articles.  Where are they similar?  Where do they differ?  Would you select one as more correct than the others or would you draw pieces from two or more of them to write your own definition?  How would you explain your chosen definition to others?  How would you apply this definition in a work setting?

As part of this project, prepare an annotated bibliography.  The bibliography will be structured as follows: APA formatted reference (minimum 250 words per reference) followed by summary of key points, evaluation of the quality of the publication, evaluation of the quality of the author(s), where this fits into the assignment, and the library database in which you found the article.  A traditional APA reference page and the annotated bibliography will be turned in with the associated paper.

Write a 2-4 page Rhetorical Analysis in MLA format that states the authors main argument from your chosen article and ANALYZES how the author makes their argument.

Your goal is to determine whether or not the author is successful in making their argument. A good rhetorical analysis essay examines both sides of the argument, so you should analyze not only how and why the author was effective with ethos, pathos, or logos, but how and why the author might have been ineffective

with the lack of ethos, pathos, or logos.

Do not argue your viewpoint in an analysis.

Focus on the “how” the AUTHOR made their point, not if it’s something you agree with or not.

Think about how and why the article works or doesnt work FROM THE STANDPOINT OF HOW THE AUTHOR WROTE IT.

What rhetorical devices (ethos, pathos, logos) did the author use to be persuasive?
How effective were they?

In addition to being well-written and organized, the most successful essays for this assignment will do the following (not necessarily in this order). Use this checklist to see if you accomplished what you needed to for a good essay.

Did you describe the rhetorical situation, e.g. the purpose and the authors target audience?
Did you describe the authors argument?
Did you include a clear thesis statement of your own to set up the essay?
Did you describe and analyze how the author presents and builds their argument?
Did you examine and evaluate how the author connects, or fails to connect, with their audience?
Did you demonstrate your understanding of ethos, pathos, and logos and how the author used them in the text?

Keep in mind that your focus is not on your own opinion about the topic being discussed in the article, but on explaining how the author of the article has put together their argument and how they appeal to the audience. In other words, if you were writing about an essay discussing global warming, what you think about global warming would not be the focus; rather, you would need to show how the author argues their point and how effective their strategy is in the argument.

Citation and Documentation

If you quote from your text (and you should), you MUST include proper MLA in-text citation and a works cited page.
