...SPINNING JENNY What is the Spinning Jenny? Our machine, the Spinning Jenny, is a faster, easier, and more efficient way of spinning yarn. How does the Spinning Jenny Work? The Spinning Jenny is a very complex machine to create spun cotton. Do not be fooled by the word complex, because all you need to do is feed it cotton, and spin the wheel. There are eight spindles compared to the single spindle what we had in the previous Spinning Wheel providing up to eight times increased productivity. One end of the cotton is tied to the spindles, while the other end is clamped down on the other side. There is a giant wheel on the right side of the machine that u=is connected to the spindles. When the user spins the wheel the spindles spin which creates the spun cotton. For example, picture holding the tip of your tie with two fingers, then spinning it around. This is how the Spinning Jenny works, except it would have eight spindles and would work a lot faster. How will the Spinning Jenny help? The Spinning Jenny will allow faster and easier production of yarn. The eight spindles included will provide a huge productivity increase per man-hour. It is very easy to use and all that the user needs to do is feed it cotton and spin the wheel. This will also aid mass production of spun yarn. With the previous Spinning wheel, yarn was difficult and slow to produce, thus prices of yarn were going up. The Spinning Jenny will produce eight times more spun yarn, so we can meet the demand for yarn...

... Some artists deal with language as a character on its own as opposed to a surface to draw upon. These artists place texts in ways that are intended to stimulate the way an audience perceives a work, to evoke emotion or to create a statement. However, others, particularly graphic designers, tend to focus on the decorative powers of text. Regardless of the artist’s intentions, the appearance of text within art can shift our appreciation of their sound and meaning. Artists that explore text in art include: Barbara Kruger, Yukinori Yanagi, Katarzyna Kozyra, Jenny Holzer, Wenda Gu, Shirin Neshat, Miriam Stannage, Colin McCahon and Jenny Watson. Artists such as Jenny Holzer, Wenda Gu and Shirin Neshat explore the cultural implications of language in art and the importance of language to identity through the inclusion of text that reflect a postmodern concern with the way we receive information in our contemporary society. Jenny Holzer is an American conceptual artist who belongs to the feminist branch of artists that emerged during the 1980’s. Originally an abstract painter and printmaker, Holzer became heavily interested in conceptual art and began creating works using text. The...

...1. Logan's Run: The Story by Ken Sanes In 1976, Hollywood came out with a movie titled Logan's Run, which offered a vision of the future as a false paradise. In the movie, humanity is portrayed as having destroyed the earth's ecosystem by the 23rd century, through war, overpopulation and pollution, and retreated into a high-tech city enclosed in domes, full of futuristic buildings and public spaces that look like something out of a contemporary shopping mall. Inside, the inhabitants devote themselves to a life of indulgence while a computer with a vaguely seductive female voice controls the city and produces everything they need to live. They know nothing of the outside world, nor do they have any idea how to operate the machines that serve them. As in many similar works, the characters are portrayed as being much like children, dependent on the central computer to shelter them in their gilded cage. But the characters aren't only separated from the nature outside the city. They are also separated from the natural processes of life. They are incubated in nurseries, rather than being born, and they neither marry nor know their children. It is only natural, in their eyes, for sex to be purely a form of entertainment, unconnected to intimacy or procreation. Nor do they know anything of the natural process of aging. Because space is limited in the city, the computer simply does away with everyone on their 30th birthday. To lead these lambs willingly to their slaughter, it has given...

...Lou, Sijia Professor Manly ENG 108 Feb, 26, 2011 Summary 1: Article In the article “What Are Friends For? Power and Pain” which was written be Alessandra Stanley, we can know that the author thinks in adults’ world friendship is more constant than romances, but this rule is not right in the youths. Young people pay more attention to love than friendships, so in young’s world the friendships are more variable than the romances. This concept is also right in the “Gossip Girl”. This TV show talked about the friendship, power, romance, gossip and fashion in the campus between the boys and girls. Some parents think this TV show isn’t suitable for their children, because the contents in “Gossip Girl” let their children grow faster to know the real society. But the Children didn’t agree. Even though the “Gossip Girl” is a soap opera and it is based on a popular book series, it not only put fashion and sex as its main point, but also reversed course and found a way saucily to make a virtue of vacuity and viciousness. Summary 2: TV show This TV show is from Gossip Girl season 4 Episode 2. Serena(S) and Blair (B) still stay at Paris and B get another chance from Prince Louis. But while B was getting ready for her perfect date, S was at Paris Morgue to make sure the people laid may or may not be Chuck Bass. Of course it wasn’t him. When S went back to tell B the whole sordid story B didn’t believe it for she just met Chuck minutes ago. Then S found her wayward stepbrother...

...Brothers Grimm to Jenny Context Response As I read this poem the first time through, I assumed that whoever was talking was a male. The reason I believe that it is a man retelling this is because the title of the poem says “Reading the Brothers Grimm to Jenny”. However, no matter the gender, it is someone that Jenny looks up to. It is evident in the line “you insist I have the golden key” that Jenny admires the author. However, the author believes that he hasn’t done a good job of preparing her for the future. The author believes that they’ve forced her in to thinking of a pleasant and fantasized world where nothing can go wrong. However, she will eventually have to understand that life is not so and has to face reality. The author understands that she has to “live with power and honour circumstance[s]”. Jenny’s heart is pure, and the author is afraid of how she will react when she is exposed to reality. She’s been penetrated with thoughts that life is perfect, and when mistakes are made, they are fixable. Some examples of tales that have been told to Jenny include: “birds speak the truth”, “beauty proves a royal mind”, and that “death is a small mistake, where [a] kiss revives”. At the end of his list of tales, he says “Jenny, we make just dreams out of our unjust lives”, which clearly means that we only make up fantasies to fulfill a bit of hope and happiness because we suffer through stressful lives. Overall, I assume that he doesn’t want Jenny to worry so much...

...Jenny, Juno This is a Korean romantic comedy movie that deals with teen pregnancy. Despite the rather serious subject matter, the movie actually manages to keep a balance, primarily romantic, which initially slaps it with like 18+ rating, despite its otherwise innocent nature, with the argument that the film trivializes teen pregnancy and makes it seem rather easy. Eventually, it ended up like a 15+ rating for viewers in this rate to learn. The story opens with Jenny, a high-achieving middle student, discovering the she’s knocked up and quickly informing Juno, her middle-school boyfriend. From there it’s a matter of keeping the pregnancy thing secret from their parents and further building their relationship as well. There is something that immediately interest and impressed be about this movie, which is how it was able to keep dramatic urgency or the flow going, despite the fact that the conflict remains rather light throughout the first half of the movie. Instead, we see the couple continuing their very sweet relationship and working to both help Jenny to be a healthy mother and Juno, be a responsible father. The trick to retaining drama, it turns out, is the unspoken threat of parental action should the parents find out about the baby. I also liked how it retained a light-hearted cheerfulness throughout the movie. When things are supposed to get serious, they do, but unfortunately, the drama is more than a little lame, because of the movie’s continuing push to keep its very...

...In the poem "Warning" by Jenny Joseph, the use of diction, imagery, and syntax convey the speaker's negative attitude towards being forced to act in an uptight, "civilized" manner at all times so as to be a successful adult and role model for children. The choice to use words such as "gobble", "hoard", and "slippers" give the poem a whimsical tone that characterizes the narrator as someone who appreciates being able to laugh at life and do what they enjoy. The narrator wishes to be able to do things like "gobble" samples when out shopping and wear "terrible shirts" and not take life so seriously. They want to rid themselves of the "sobriety of my youth" and live the end of life to the fullest. Throughout this poem, several lines begin with...

...Weight Watchers vs. Jenny Craig Tuesdays & Thursday Honors 1:00 PM Question 1: When first considering which diet plan to choose, a consumer must recognize their need; in this case our need is to lose weight. This serves as both a functional and psychological need. Jenny Craig and Weight Watchers both provide the functional need to help you satisfy your hunger while facilitating weight loss in a healthy manner. When it comes to our psychological needs, we want the personal gratification of losing weight and looking more attractive. The marketers for Jenny Craig and Weight Watchers show advertisements that portray their customers as fit, attractive and happier as a result of their weight loss program. We see this and immediately want those results that are associated with that program. Marketers will also use celebrity endorsements to sell their program and try to influence the consumer’s needs. Once we, the consumer, have recognized a need, the next step is to search for information. This search is both internal and external. For our internal search we might ask ourselves, “What do I know about weight loss programs?”. Additionally we will do an external search by researching the programs online, visits to their actual locations, or asking our friends and family for information. In this step, the consumer will weigh the perceived benefits against the perceived costs (See question two). Marketers have influence over this search for information by having websites, salespeople...

...Before I Die by Jenny Downham Before I Die by Jenny Downham is about a sixteen-year-old girl, Tessa Walker, who is dying from Leukaemia and has composed a list of ten things to do before she dies. It is quickly proven to her dismay that her list is more difficult than she had hoped for and the reader experiences, in her first hand account, her last few weeks of living. It is set in England in a town in modern day society. The novel shows aspects of relationships, love and time. It is a psychological novel and a love story that ends in tragedy and heart break. The reason this book affected me so much is due to many factors, however a constant theme through the book is relationships. The relationships between herself and the little things in life, the important things, are what the reader can connect to on a personal level because they’re things most people endure everyday, this consists of: hugging your best friend, talking to your brother, eating your favourite food. This made me feel just how special I am, as the reader knows at the start of the book that she doesn’t have much longer to live. As she is released from the constraints of "normal" life, Tessa tastes new experiences to make her feel alive while her failing body struggles to keep up. The book also makes me think not only about what I have, but what I should appreciate, the things that go un-noticed: The trees, the stars, the air we breathe, these things we can’t live without are yet things that aren’t keeping...
