...Wallis’s father was also named John Wallis. His father worked as a minister and then became a minister. When John was born, his mother was Joanna Chapman. Joanna Chapman was his father’s second wife. John had four other siblings, and was the third born. However, when John was only six years old his father died. His first form of education was in Ashford, however, a plague there caused his family to move. When his family moved, he went to a grammar school in Tenterden, Kent. At the grammar school, he learned a lot of Latin. When he was only thirteen years old, he said that he thought he was ready to go to college. In 1631, he went to another school called the...

...For the reasons which have determined the existence of Sussex as a county of England, and which have given it the exact boundaries that it now possesses, we must go back to the remote geological history of the secondary ages. Its limits and its very existence as a separate shire were predetermined for it by the shape and consistence of the mud or sand which gathered at the bottom of the great Wealden lake, or filled up the hollows of the old inland cretaceous sea. Paradoxical as it sounds to say so, the Celtic kingdom of the Regni, the South Saxon principality of AElle the Bretwalda, the modern English county of Sussex, have all had their destinies moulded by the geological conformation of the rock upon which they repose. Where human annals see only the handicraft and interaction of human beings--Euskarian and Aryan, Celt and Roman, Englishman and Norman--a closer scrutiny of history may perhaps see the working of still deeper elements--chalk and clay, volcanic upheaval and glacial denudation, barren upland and forest-clad plain. The value and importance of these underlying facts in the comprehension of history has, I believe, been very generally overlooked; and I propose accordingly here to take the single county of Sussex in detail, in order to show that when the geological and geographical factors of the problem are given, all the rest follows as a matter of course. By such detailed treatment alone can one hope to establish the truth of the general principle that human history...

...history-making conference of software-engineering thinkers in Snowbird, Utah. The product of that meeting was a remarkable document called the Agile Manifesto, a call to overturn many of the assumptions of traditional software development. I, in my capacity as one of the principal theoreticians of open-source development, was invited to be at Snowbird, but couldn't make it. Ever since, though, I've been sensing a growing convergence between agile programming and the open-source movement. I've seen agile concepts and terminology being adopted rapidly and enthusiastically by my colleagues in open-source-land — especially ideas like refactoring, unit testing, and design from stories and personas. From the other side, key agile-movement figures like Kent Beck and Martin Fowler have expressed strong interest in open source both in published works and to me personally. Fowler has gone so far as to include open source on his list of agile-movement schools. I agree that we belong on that list. But I also agree with Fowler's description of of open source as a style, rather than a process. I think his reservations as to whether open source can be described as just another agile school are well-founded. There is something more complicated and interesting going on here. and I realized when I read Fowler's description of open source that at some point I was going to have to do some hard thinking and writing in an effort to sort it all out. While doing research for my book The Art of Unix Programming...

...What does the architecture of Lord Burlington owe to political concerns? It is said that from 1721 onwards Lord Burlington began erecting one important building after another. In order to determine what the architecture of Lord Burlington owes to political concerns it is necessary to briefly examine both the political situation in the early 1700s and Burlington’s political stance. Lastly, in order to draw a conclusion as to how much of Lord Burlington’s architecture owes to political concerns, an analysis of Chiswick House and its political representation is particularly essential. Thus this essay will be roughly divided into two parts: the first being a brief narrative of the political life and situation of Lord Burlington, followed by a system of analysis and conclusion. The latter will focus specifically on the Chiswick House and what symbols there exist that may help us to examine the impact of politics on Lord Burlington’s architecture. Lord Burlington, though being a man of arts and beauty, was hardly politically inactive. Up until 1932 he was said to have been a supporter of the Whig administration. He became a supporter of the new Hanoverian king, George I in 1715 and that same year he was appointed Lord Treasurer of Ireland, lieutenant of the East and West Ridings of Yorkshire and Vice-Admiral of the County of York. By 1721 Burlington became a supporter of Sir Robert Walpole and was a close friend of the Prince of Wales. When in 1727 the Prince succeeded as George...

...Muhtar Kent, the president and CEO of the Coca-Cola Co, at the 2009 Investor & Analyst Event held in the world global conference in Atlanta. As this speech is specifically structured to present a business plan for upcoming year of 2020, Kent uses the majority of ethos and logos artistic appeals as means of an effective persuasion. The argument surrounds a careful and logical analysis of past failures and successes backed up with statistical and visual references designed to “inform, provoke, challenge and inspire” the audience (Kent 2009), followed by an orderly presentation of numerous strategies on how they will shape the future as the leading “business of non-alcoholic ready-to-drink beverages.” (119) The appropriate artistic and inartistic appeals applied in the speech not only polish the essence of an effective argument, but also increases credibility as an influential speaker. It is evident that Kent tries to avoid using pathos, an appeal of emotion, as a form of appeal to prevent logical scrutiny from the audience. Instead, the speech follows a strict pattern of stating logical reasoning after presenting each inartistic proof and thus, succeeds in gaining compliance as a credible speaker. Apart from impressive statistical numbers on its company’s accomplishments, the content of the speech relies heavily on ethos, served as appeals to values and speaker’s credibility, exerting a strong and dependable impression on their corporation. One of the major proofs Kent constantly...

...Solution to Chapter 2 Internet Project Data on the Internet Note: In exercises 1 and 2 the data for the year 2000 is used. Exercise 1 Using the daily mean temperatures, compute the range and standard deviation in temperature for San Francisco in January 2000. Answer The mean daily temperatures for each of the days in January 2000 as compiled by the Weather Underground are 50.8 48.5 47.8 55.9 52.1 47.8 47.7 50.5 51.3 52.4 54.1 49.6 50.5 52.6 53.9 56.4 50.5 52.8 55.5 55.3 52.4 53.6 54.6 56.2 54.4 51.5 50.5 50.3 51.1 54.9 52.6 .

...for review. Please have them back by Wednesday instead of Tuesday. I apologize for being vague in my expectations. What is Coca Cola’s culture like? I would say on this question it depends on who you ask. If you ask the Coca Cola company you will get one answer and if you ask the workers you will get another. There are some areas that both probably agree, but there are also different opinions on some areas. Coca Cola states that the culture is defined by our seven core values: leadership, passion, integrity, collaboration, diversity, quality, and accountability (Our Company, 2014). The major theme to the culture seems to be diversity. If you look deeper into the management it seems that the culture is all about money though. Muhtar Kent is the CEO of Coca-Cola and he says that the workers need to have an entrepreneurial mentality and need to feel like they are chasing pennies down a hallway (Bhasin, 2012). If you go even further and look at some of the reviews that workers gave on indeed.com you can get a feel of their opinions. Most seem to agree that compensation and bonuses were pretty good. This is actually a good thing because this basically meets their first need in Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. Now when you get to some other issues there seem to be some issues. These are all anonymous, but I will put the locations of the worker. In Speedway, IN...

...Case Study Coca-Cola Company: Then and Now Vladyslav Mozharov vladyslavmozharov@cityu.edu MBA 545: People and Systems in Organizations John Elmer Case Study – Coca-Cola Company: Then and Now May 1, 2014 The traditional change model consists of three steps: unfreezing, i.e. recognizing the need for change because of some event or threat, the actual change actions and refreezing, i.e. incorporating new ways of operating and thinking into everyday operations of the organization. Apply this model to the situation at the coca-cola company at the point when the lawsuit was served in 1999. As it is stated in the case of Coca-Cola, it was a marketing machine ran by bureaucrats and tried to create an image of their brand more than to give to customers what they want. At that stage, Ivestor, who was a CEO of the company, was focusing more on the numbers and revenues than on what is really going inside of the company. He was described as insecure and arrogant and refused to listen to his own people, working for him. Instead of solving the real problems in the company, he was focusing on keeping profits on the same level. Case gives an example of passivity of his actions by increasing the price of Coke syrup sales to bottlers to keep it. Of course, it was a mandatory action due to the largest product recall in their history, but it only accumulated a racial tension in the company, as he was indifferent to people and focused on financial results. His lack of actions for solving...

...Matt Banary Barry Bonds Steroid Use The article that I chose to write about goes in to Barry Bonds and his usage of steroids in the MLB. Barry Bonds started taking steroids in 1998 and continued on doing so throughout his baseball career. Bonds started to get stronger and hot more and more home runs while he was on the use of steroids. He eventually beat Mark McGwire’s single season home run record (70) and hit 73 home runs. This spectacular accomplishment what short lived because Barry Bonds was caught with taking to types of performance enhancing drugs, Cream and Clear and Trenbolone. To make things worse he lied in front of a federal court saying he did not take steroids and that in fact he did take them. During the year we talked about a topic like this in chapter 6. That performance enhancing drugs has had a long history in the professional sports and that much substance abuse constitutes a form of deviant over-conformity. Deviant over-conformity consists of subnormal ideas, traits, and actions that indicate an uncritical acceptance of norms and a failure to recognize any limits to following norms (ch.6 pg. 159). Barry Bonds taking performance enhancing drugs is a good example of this because he was unable to accept the norms and limits for taking performance enhancing drugs. He did not care that it was illegal as long as he was one of the best and he continued to play in the game he loved. Ironically I believe that steroids were a good reason why he...

...The Kent State Massacre is basically about the protest during the Vietnam War. It has rashly gotten under control when the United States military forces bombed Cambodia. Kent State University students started an anti-war protest for various reasons, including the bombing by the United States military forces. When the Ohio National Guard on Kent State University got involved to stop the protests, they killed four students on May 4th that became a focal point of a nation deeply divided by the Vietnam War. National Guard soon enough injured 13 students, including the four students that died that day. The ethical dilemmas that were facing the National Guard that day was the issues that caused the anti-war protest that the Kent State University Students started. The protest was about the drafts occurring during war, including the bombings and the troops that was sent by the United States. Middle and upper students, as well as well-educated student intended the protests to stop all drafts and bombing attacks in their area. Several incidents occurred during the protests; students throwing rocks, bottles, and bonfires at police officers. Some places in that area such as the bar had to close to eliminate any students to get...
