...Before the end of the European Renaissance, math was cleanly divided into the two separate subjects of geometry and algebra. You didn't use algebraic equations in geometry, and you didn't draw any pictures in algebra. Then, around 1637, a French guy named René Descartes (pronounced "ray-NAY day-CART") came up with a way to put these two subjects together. Rene Descartes was born on March 31, 1596, in Touraine, France. He was entered into Jesuit College at the age of eight, where he studied for about eight years. Although he studied the classics, logic and philosophy, Descartes only found mathematics to be satisfactory in reaching the truth of the science of nature. He then received a law degree in 1616. Thereafter, Descartes chose to join the army and served from 1617-1621. Descartes resigned from the army and traveled extensively for five years. During this period, he continued studying pure mathematics. Finally, in 1628, he devoted his life to seeking the truth about the science of nature. At that point, he moved to Holland and remained there for twenty years, dedicating his time to philosophy and mathematics. During this time, Descartes had his work "Meditations on First Philosophy" published. It was in this work that he introduced the famous phrase "I think, therefore I am." Descartes hoped to use this statement to find truth by the use of reason. He sought to take complex ideas and break them down into simpler ones that were clear. Descartes believed that mathematics...

...CARTESIAN PLANES Some may say that life is up to fate, luck or simply to the lines on the palms of our hands. Some may say that life, it is a splendid masterpiece painted by the wide open universe. Some may say it is a tapestry that is already pre-woven by a higher being or a divine presence. But the truth is, it is up to you. You have your pen, I have mine and we have the power to draw our lines. The class started and before we took our seats, our teacher handed each of us a piece of paper. He told us to take control and do everything we want with it but remember not to waste it. I looked around me. There are some people, who are wise enough and started folding their papers to beautiful origami. Some made paper planes and let it flew to the air and maneuver it to their dreams. There are some who draw illustrations to express themselves and improve their gifts. Others splashed colors, so their papers will turn out fun and exciting. Some wrote love letters, so they could give and share it to the ones to whom their heart beats for. There are people who treasured their papers but there is a greater number of people who misused theirs. There are people who did nothing with their papers and left it blank, void and meaningless. There are lots of people who scribbled just anything they wanted, turning their papers into a chaotic mess. Some tore their own papers apart and some ruined their seatmate’s craft. Some tried to copy another one’s work. Some burned their papers with hatred...

...the ground learning to land correctly. I stood in formation, half asleep, while the airborne instructors briefed us for the events of the day. The airborne instructors are called Black Hats because of the black baseball caps that they wear with their rank and wings pinned to the front. That morning, our class had to jog three miles to the air field to get our Jump Master brief. I felt a slight chill in my bones on the cold spring morning. It might even have been due to my nervousness. The first Sergeant called the class to attention and ordered us to right face and we jogged down the road to the air field. Once we got there, we stood in formation. I saw the C130s before us on the runway. They are the Army’s largest airplane. This massive plane is oddly very graceful when it lands, like a duck landing...

...shouldn’t I feel proud of the work they do – these dirty hands of mine? My hands are the hands of plumbers, of truck drivers and street cleaners; of carpenters; engineers, machinists and workers in steel. They are not pretty hands, they are dirty and knobby and calloused. But they are strong hands, hands that make so much that the world must have or die. Someday, I think, the world should go down on its knees and kiss all the dirty hands of the working world, as in the days long past, armored knights would kiss the hands of ladies fair. I’m proud of my dirty hands. The world has kissed such hands. The world will always kiss such hands. Men and women put reverent lips to the hands of Him who held the hammer and the saw and the plane. His weren’t pretty hands either when they chopped trees, dragged rough lumber, and wielded carpenter’s tools. They were workingman’s hands – strong, capable proud hands. And weren’t pretty hands when the executioners got through them. They were torn right clean through by ugly nails, and the blood was running from them, and the edges of the wounds were raw and dirty and swollen; and the joints were crooked and the fingers were horribly bent in a mute appeal for love. They weren’t pretty hands then, but, Oh God, they were beautiful – those hands of the Savior. I’m proud of those dirty hands, hands of my Savior, hands of God. And I’m proud of my hands too, dirty hands, like the hands of my Savior, the Hands of my God!...

...Personal Narrative I got my first glimpse of the world outside of the United States as the plane flew across the clear, blue sky. The plane ride was an enjoyable experience for me and I grew eager with the thought of spending time with my family in St. John. Leaving the United States for the first time added to the excitement my family and I were about to endure. This trip impacted me greatly; traveling so far away from home opened my eyes to the fact that there are many different cultures and I became much closer with my relatives. The first flight we had taken was from Virginia to Puerto Rico. Once there we had to board a smaller propeller plane to complete the journey to St. John. While I had flown on planes before I never flew across so much water. It was an enlightening experience for me as a kid because I began thinking about how big the world is, and how small each individual is in comparison. After sitting through the short connecting flight, we arrived at St. Thomas. It was like a whole other world. The mountains all around casted a majestic light, and the people and their clothing were so different and unique. After I admired this new land I was in our family boarded the ferry to make the final leg of our trip to St. John. Upon arriving we had to rent cars in order to get around and check in at the house we were staying in. Even as a young kid I could appreciate the house we stayed at. It was truly magnificent. The house sat on the side of one of the mountains in...

...Lauryn Moore Mizzo Drama 1 Quick Change Artist Have everyone sit in a circle and choose one person to be the quick change artist. Have the artist go out of sight and change something on him/her self that is visible(i.e.-put shorts on backwards, change hair, tie/untie shoes...). When the artist is done, have him/her walk into the middle of the circle and turn around slowly to give everyone a chance to see what has been changed. Then go around the circle having each person guess what has been changed. The first person to guess correctly is the next artist. Catch a Story Have a ball or (better) a beanbag. Begin a story. Throw it to the person who must continue the story. This is better than dragging around the circle and shy people can get rid of the story after only one word. A variation on this is “fortunately, unfortunately”. Each person must add a sentence, changing the sentence of the main character. E.g. Unfortunately the plane’s engines failed. Fortunately the pilot had a parachute. Unfortunately the parachute would not open. Fortunately their was a haystack underneath. Etc. Martha’s Game Group stands outside a designated performance space. One person runs into the space, forms her body into a statue and announces what she is, as in "I'm a tree." Instantly the next person runs on and forms something else in the same picture. "I'm a bench under the tree." The next person further adds to the picture. "I'm a bum on the bench." "I'm a dog peeing on the tree."...

...INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPT Q: Why did you choose to become a pilot, or did you originally dream to become a pilot? A: Well, when I was your age, yeah, probably even younger, whenever I see airplanes, you know, because my mom used to go abroad when I was small and then, so, when she's away and whenever I see airplanes in the sky, people say I usually point to that plane and then I guess, probably that's why I wanted to become a pilot, to go to places because I can see pictures of her in other countries, nice places, probably that's why I wanted to become one. Q: What are the requirements to pilot school? A: Requirements. In the first place, I got mine when I joined the Air Force, so in my experience, I can say that in the Air Force, at first, you must be commissioned officer—that is a lieutenant—then you must be able to pass a competitive examination, then you must also pass a rigid medical exam, and after that you must finish the two-year flying training in the Airforce. In the civilian world, I think, the requirement in the cilivian world, you must have a four-year college degree, preferably something that is technical but...

...driver worm is connect to the gear. 3 3 Here are the three stages of the creation of the driver worm. A sketch round the x axis of 360 degrees was drawn followed by a mirror bein created by the datum plane for the seep that was to be made. 2 2 The exact same steps were repeated in this stage, the only differences being a few dimensions and a change in the directions of the sweeps. To be more specific the difference in this case between the plane and the sweep was 6, this was to ensure that the heical sweepes were at an eaqual distance from each other in order for the two distances to stay equal when the overall size is changed. Doing this removes the likelhood of any mechanical issues. 5 5 4 4 3 3 2 2 1 1 Each of the 5 parts shown above are all derived from the centre of circles.

...ROSARIO, Gianna Lea V. Midterm paper- Film Analysis SALVADOR, Anna Christelle L. The characters, Bernie, Gayle and Bubber, had different perspective bias that their portrayed or showed in the movie. First, Bernie LaPlante, was not very traditional; he is more of a person who shows utilitarianism in his actions. When he found out that Bubber was acting as the person who helped the people in the plane crash, he did not ask him to tell everyone that it was him. He believed that it was the common good to let the people believe and still listen to the goodness of John Bubber. Second, Gayle Gayley, also portrayed consequentialism when someone was accusing Bubber of trying to steal from her while rescuing the people on the plane. She believed that even though Bubber tried to steal, his actions of saving her countered that. Lastly, John Bubber, showed the consequentialism in his actions, when he was showing unselfish acts of trying to reach out to the people. “The end justified the mean” shows that even though he lied acting as Mr. LaPlante, he was still showing acts of kindness showing his true intentions. For the autonomy of morality, the characters did not have to believe in God or the church to be able to show their morality. It was inherent in the characters for being considered as social beings. Mr. LaPlante used Morality as inner conviction, according to the five ways of looking at Morality, when he noticed that the kid needed his help. His inner peace of seeing...

...Julia enters the LAX airport to travel to Europe for the first time, after saving up for months to go. She has calculated that $1200 will be enough to cover the cost of a four week trip across three countries before returning back to university. After weighing Julia’s bag on the scale, the ticket agent informs Julia that $450 is owed for extra weight. What?! Julia has no other option, she took a train to get to the airport from Fresno, so there is no option to get another bag to split the weight. Julia pays it. 20 minutes in to her trip and the budget has been cut almost in half. Paying fees stink! Especially when you are a college student. One of the worst fees that we all have had to pay at one point in time, are airline fees. Between baggage and change fees one could easily spend $1000 in one transaction. Over the past 10 years, fees to change your flight has gone up almost 200 percent for most airlines (Brown, Genevieve Shaw). Ten years ago, there wasn’t such a thing as a “checked baggage fee” for less than two bags. Recently in 2014, Delta increased their change fee to $200 – $400 depending on domestic or international flights (Delta). This is an $150 increase. That’s the equivalent of two months of gas for the average college student. At least that’s not as bad, considering we all know there are change fees. But let’s address the hidden overweight baggage fees. Like Julia, many travelers have been forced to pay American Airlines’ (and many other airlines) overweight...
