...Serial Bus (USB) port is considered to be the most important I/O port among all other I/O ports because it has replaced PS/2 (mini DIN) mouse and keyboard, serial (COM), and parallel (LPT) ports in recent computer systems and providing greater speed. A recent computer desktop system has at least four USB ports and can support up to eight front-and-rear mounted USB ports. The three standard types of USB ports are (1) USB 1.1, (2) USB 2.0 a.k.a Hi-Speed USB -and (3) USB 3.0 a.k.a Superspeed USB and use either Series A a.k.a Type A or Series B a.k.a Type B types of connectors. Adding more USB ports can be done by using motherboard connectors for USB header cables, hubs and add-on cards. Serial (COM) I/O ports also known as RS-232 ports are used for external modems, serial mouse, plotters, label printers, serial printers, PDA docking stations, digital cameras and PC-to-PC connections used by file transfer programs such as DirectCable Connection, LapLink and Interlink. These ports come in two forms: DB-9M (male) and DB 25M (male) but only the former is not being used for older systems. This I/O port requires two hardware resources: Interrupt ReQuest (IRQ) and I/O port address. Parallel a.k.a Line Printer (LPT) port is one of the most versatile I/O ports and is used by devices such as tape backups, external CD-ROM and...

...abused for not being the submissive wife: I am ashamed that women are so simple, To offer war where they should kneel for peace, Or seek for rule, supremacy, and sway, When they are bound to serve, love, and obey.” The central theme of gender roles in the film adaption and the play is the largest cultural difference evident in these two mediums. America at the beginning of the 20th century was immensely different from 16th century England, not to mention the second wave of feminism encouraging women to break through the inequality barriers that were about to surge. As opposed to this, in the play the men are the decision makers, the head-hunters and the most important people in society. This is in contrast to Shakespeare’s other strong female characters like Juliet, Beatrice, Cordelia, Cleopatra and Lady Macbeth; who are all brave, powerful, wonderfully complicated, and all perfect examples of Shakespeare being way ahead of his time in terms of gender equality. As mentioned, ‘The Taming’ is Shakespeare's odd play out, kind of like John Hughes making Die Hard. The women are considered weak objects to be controlled by men. For instance, when Petruchio plans to ‘tame’ Katherina like a falcon he says: “This is the way to kill a wife with kindness. And thus I'll curb her mad and headstrong humour.” This is an example of male dominance and gender roles as Petruchio believes he has full right to change her personality, and is not judged for it as long as she is the ‘proper wife’....

...COMP 129 (On-Line) Notes Chapter 1 Introduction to Computer Repair Chapter Summary * • Computer technicians should actively listen, have a positive attitude, refrain from using technical acronyms and terminology when speaking with nontechnical people, and be culturally sensitive. * • Easily identify important computer parts installed in a computer and as standalone parts: case, keyboard, mouse, motherboard, monitor, power supply, hard drive, optical drive, adapter, riser board, and memory. * • Easily identify various ports to determine what device attaches to them: VGA, DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort, USB, IEEE 1394, 3.5mm sound jack, PS/2, RJ-45, eSATA, parallel, serial, and RJ-11. * • The most popular method for adding functionality to desktops, laptops, and tablets is to use a USB port. * • USB 3.0 ports will accept 3.0 and older devices and provide more power. You can add additional ports by connecting a USB module to motherboard pins. This module takes an expansion space (but not a slot). A PCI/PCIe adapter can also be installed to provide additional ports. Cabling from the power supply to the adapter might be required to provide power to the new USB ports. * • Up to five USB hubs can be daisy-chained to one port. Upstream ports connect to the computer or another USB port. Devices connect to downstream ports. * • USB hubs can be self-powered or bus powered. * • IEEE 1394 devices do not have to have a computer port and can be cabled to each...

...University Com-342, Adv Acad Research & Comp. Instructor: Jon Edicott Abstract Females in school are exposed to all kinds of different rules that takes away their right to express themselves. During this essay you will find reasons why dress codes are difficult to follow upon female student. This essay will also explore some of the different controversial issues between schools and female students due to the dress code policy, and the different ways females use to fight back. School dress codes are more for females than males, because schools see women as distraction for males and others. Schools dress codes are messing with the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which gives the students the right to express themselves, without hurting others. We will see how females fight back on what they believe it is taking their freedom of speech and freedom to express their unique personalities. Fighting For Freedom Women like to express themselves through clothing, shoes, hair, make up and all kind of different accessories. Regardless of what color, religion, what body size or shape they have, females like to personalize their style using fashion and new trends. While parents drill on their female children the importance to love and feel comfortable with themselves no matter how they look. Schools portrays women as a “distraction” for men and others. They are constantly making changes to the school dressing codes, especially for female students...

...EGYPT BEYOND THE PYRAMIDS PAGE 1 THE HISTORY CHANNEL CLASSROOM PRESENTS EGYPT TEACHER’S GUIDE Egypt Beyond The Pyramids The mystifying world of ancient Egypt comes to life in this four-part miniseries, Egypt Beyond the Pyramids. Within the walls of recently excavated temples and tombs lie secrets that will challenge current ideas about ancient Egypt. Discoveries—from the enormous burial tomb called KV5 to the sacred temples of Karnak—show how ancient Egyptians lived, worked, worshipped, and honored their dead. To provide a deeper understanding of Egypt’s past, head archaeologist Dr. Kent Weeks, along with other Egyptologists, leads viewers into ancient temples and tombs—including the resting place of Pharaoh Ramesses II’s lost children—some recorded on film for the first time. Epic in scope, Egypt Beyond the Pyramids demonstrates that as archaeologists uncover more about the past, their discoveries yield more questions than answers. Curriculum Links Egypt Beyond the Pyramids is appropriate for middle and high school classes in world history, ancient history, and art history. National History Standards Egypt Beyond the Pyramids fulfills the following National Standards for History: Historical Thinking 1 (Chronological Thinking), 2 (Historical Comprehension), 3 (Historical Analysis and Interpretation), 4 (Historical Research Capabilities), World History, Era 2.

What we do is we sell one Guide billions and billions of times. We exploit the multidimensional nature of the Universe to cut down on manufacturing costs. And we don’t sell to penniless hitchhikers. What a stupid notion that was! Find the one section of the market that, more or less by definition, doesn’t have any money, and try to sell to it. No. We sell to the affluent business traveler and his vacationing wife in a billion, billion different futures. This is the most radical, dynamic and thrusting business venture in the entire multidimensional infinity of space-time-probability ever.” ...
