...The limits of our tolerance portrayed in The Goat or Who is Sylvia? Edward Albee, born on March 12, 1928, is an American playwright who is well known for his controversial works. One controversial piece of work in particular was a play written in 2002 titled The Goat or Who is Sylvia?. The Goat or Who is Sylvia? has received mixed reviews. Some people believe that the sole meaning behind the play is bestiality and find the subject matter to be disturbing; others believe that the play has much more meaning to it besides bestiality. Edward Albee has said that The Goat or Who is Sylvia? is about “the limits of our tolerance of the behavior of others than ourselves, especially when such behavior ran counter to what we believe to be acceptable social moral boundaries, and our unwillingness to imagine ourselves behaving in such an unacceptable fashion.” In The Goat or Who is Sylvia?, writer Edward Albee uses dialogue between the characters Ross, Billy, and Martin to portray and criticized the limits of our tolerance as a society. In the opening scene of The Goat or Who is Sylvia? Martin is interviewed by his best friend, Ross Tuttle, on his fiftieth birthday. Martin is being interviewed for a television segment titled “People Who Matter” because of his recent accomplishments; he became the youngest person ever to win the Pritzker Price and was chosen to design a new two hundred billion dollar dream city of the future name “World City”. This is the happiest moment in Martin’s...

...Automatic Model Checking of State Machines A seminar report submitted to MANIPAL UNIVERSITY For Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for the Award of the Degree of Master of Technology in Software Engineering by Anusha A Reg. No. 130928001 February 2014 Abstract The idea of Model Driven Development (MDD) is to specify requirements of systems in a formal (usually graphical) notation. UML is the initial and dominant modelling phase in software engineering arena. If errors are occurring in this phase of software development itself, it will cost a lot. Hence it is crucial to detect model level errors in the initial phase rather than later stages of software development. An approach to automatically verifying models composed of UML state machines. This approach helps in checking safety/liveness, properties, trace refinement, relationships and so on with the help of PAT (Process Analysis Toolkit) and CSP (communicating sequential programs). 1 1 1.1 Introduction State Machines The concepts behind state machines are about organizing the way a device, computer program, or other (often technical) process works such that an entity or each of its sub-entities is always in exactly one of a number of possible states and where there are well-defined conditional transitions between these states. The UML state diagrams are directed graphs in which nodes denote states and connectors denote state transitions. In UML, states are represented as rounded rectangles labeled...

...castle of the giants to be forever, that I wanted the goat path and the hill to be for always” (Anaya 143). Symbols of childhood are valuable because they lead to the continuation of a person into adulthood. As a child, one is innocent and oblivious to the wonders of the world around them, but they develop and learn as they age to maturity. Bless Me, Ultima is a novel centered around a young boy named Antonio, who grows and changes throughout the book, going from a boy to a man. Throughout the bildungsroman Bless Me, Ultima, Rudolfo Anaya uses symbolism of the goat path – along with its cohesivity to childhood innocence – to portray that the transition to adulthood is an extensive journey gained through...

...quickanddirtytips.com/health-fitness/trends-fads/goat-milk-better-you?page=all How is Goat Milk Different from Cow Milk? One of the first things you’ll notice is that goat milk is two or three times as expensive as cow milk. Mostly, that’s because it’s still a pretty small niche market, so the goat milk producers don’t enjoy the same economy of scale as those who produce cow milk. In today’s economy, in order to get me to spend three times as much for something, you’re going to have to convince me that it’s superior in some sort of significant way. I’m often willing to spend more for something simply because it tastes better, such as really good chocolate. Goat milk definitely tastes different than cow milk but flavor is purely a matter of preference. I suspect it has a lot to do with what you’re used to. To someone used to drinking cow milk, goat milk can taste sort of funky. Personally, while I enjoy that goat-y taste in cheese, I find it a little off-putting in the glass. But, again, that’s purely subjective. Is Goat Milk More Nutritious? People who sell goat milk often point out that goat milk is higher in protein, vitamin A, calcium, and potassium than cow milk—which it is. Of course, they usually don’t mention that goat milk is lower in folate, B12, selenium, and omega-3. But it doesn’t really matter; the nutritional differences are all quite small. I’d consider the two to be nutritionally equivalent. Is Goat Milk Easier to Digest? For those who are sensitive...

...about two men who found a big deep hole while walking through the woods. Afterwards they tried to find out how deep the hole was and threw a few little rocks. There was no sound. Next time, they threw a big rock into the hole, but still they heard nothing. Later one of them said that there was a railway sleeper in the woods and it definitely should make a noise. They dragged that heavy railway sleeper over to the hole and tossed it. After a few seconds they saw a goat which ran out of the woods and was moving with the speed of wind. The goat rushed towards the two men and disappeared into the hole, passing between those two men. Their jaws dropped when they saw what happened in the twinkling of an eye. Farmer who was walking out of woods asked those two men whether they saw his goat. Of course, they began to tell about the strange goat which leaped into the hole, but farmer stopped them, convinced that this goat was not his, because his goat was chained to a railway sleeper. Then those two pondered and decided that this goat did not belong to the farmer, but it was crazy one which was wandering in the woods and leaped into the hole. So, for me personally, moral of the story means that all things are not what they seem. Most people, however, only see the things that they think they are seeing. It’s about matching the things that you see and hear in the environment. By the way, what can we see, if stop and look around? By a man’s fingernails, by his coat-sleeve, by his boots, by...

...INTRODUCTION In many countries in Asia, goats are very important in the protein diets of the people, as well as a good, stable source of livelihood especially for the poor in the rural areas. Goat production is mostly carried out by smallholders where the animals are kept in small flocks at an average of 5-10 head/family. While rearing of goat remains at a subsistence level, its contribution to the total farm income is substantial. Goat production fits well in the rural landscape as well as in the resource capacity of smallholder farmers. It requires low initial capital and guarantees a high return on investment in as fast as two years; hence it is an attractive undertaking among rural households (FFTC Annual Report 2009). In recognition of its importance, several advanced technologies have been developed to increase goat production in some countries in the region. Technology improvement widely ranges from reproductive techniques and seasonal breeding, to silage making, agricultural by-product utilization, slotted slat barn facilities and total mix ration. However, most Asian small-scale goat farmers do not have access to these relevant information and advanced technologies for increased outputs, giving them very limited opportunities to improve their production as well as their livelihood. Goats are a most likely alternative source of animal protein, and can efficiently provide meat and milk to complement cattle and buffalo production. Goat raising has become not just for the...

...genre of literature was reinvented into a newer form that was closer to the mentality and the social development of the time, that being the tragedy. This type of literature has its origins in the Ancient Greek and Roman tragedy, which emerged around 2,500 years ago, in the 6th century BC. Tragedy, by its definition, is “a form of drama based on human suffering that invokes an accompanying catharsis or pleasure in audiences” (qtd. in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tragedy). Tragedy is considered to have been invented for the worshiping of Dionysus , which they considered to be one of their deities . In Greek, “tragedy” is called “tragodia”, which means goat song, being composed of the words “tragos” which means “he-goat” and “aeidein” which means “to sing” which is believed to make a reference to an old custom of offering a goat in competitions of choral dancing or using it for ritual sacrifices, but not before dancing around it. The three big representatives of Ancient tragedy are Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides. Their work further represented the inspiration for the medieval tragedy which developed during 14th century Middle Age, inside cathedrals, a highly...

...English Project By Simba Gurure Narrative The Amazing Goats In the land of Bahh, there was a smart goat, named Tom. Tom was different from the other goats in Bahh. Most of the other goats didn’t like to discover, invent, or build, while he did. One day there was a science-show in Bahh. Tom was so excited, that he called his brother, Mot, to compete with him. Tom was thinking, so he could find an idea for the show. Finally, Tom came up with the idea to build a teleporter. It took him 5 days to build it. Tom tested it out with a toy car. He first pressed a button that said go. Then out of nowhere, the teleporter began to rattle and shake and the car disappeared. To did not know where the car went, so there was only one way to find out. Tom called Mot to go in the teleporter with him to discover where it takes them. Mot came to go in the teleporter. When they pressed the go button, they screamed and found themselves in a very dark place. There where no people or animals it was just silent. Tom and Mot were scared, but they still had the courage to explore. They walked for about seven miles and they found a city called The Negative Zone. In the Negative Zone there were robots. Tom and Mot were so scared that they ran. When they ran the robots chased them and caught them. They put them and caught them. They put them in jail for no reason. Tom and Mot had to figure out a plan to get out of jail. They thought the robots liked the music so much they let Tom and Mot go....

...world crumbles around them. Satyr plays performed by half goat half men creatures called satyrs who often made fun of the plots and characters of tragedies. Satyrs play at intermissions of tragedies to give the crowd a fun break from the misery they've endured. Tragedy is derived from the greek term tragos oide, tragos meaning goat oide meaning song, Oides are often songs that singers would sing in competitions much like todays televised singing contests, but the top prize was a goat. Because they were a popular offering. Aristotle was a famous greek philosopher who had good ideas why people enjoyed tragic plays, he believed they were important because they show how good ordinary people can make terrible mistakes that can lead to their downfall. These events cause the protagonist to suffer or gain insight. The goal of the tragedy is to evoke fear and pity to the audience. Why wouldn't the audience endure a play that makes them feel all these painful emotions? Aristotle explain that pity and fear are natural human responses to pain and suffering. By the end of the play these feelings are replaced by another feeling called catharsis which is an exhilarating sensation feeling of relief which comes after purging these negative emotions . Catharsis is the same kind of guilty pleasure we get after watching a horror film, aristotle lists 6 essential things every good tragedy should have : 1. Plot not the story itself, the structure of the play. A good plot was the result of a...

...Commercial Campaign Review Project Commercials are created to get a company’s product recognized for present or future use. They’re many different kinds of commercials, some are created to make you hungry, help with pain, offer healthier food for your dogs, and especially to make your kids beg you for toys they see on the television. Commercials are the most effective marketing technique as far as getting a product recognized and publicly known. I personally love funny commercials and the ones I have decided to talk about have made me laugh and have left an impression in my mind of their products. The first commercial I am reviewing looks like it takes place in 1950’s, it edgy, different and funny. Progressive Insurance commercials have had a few funny ad campaigns, and this one is no different. Taking place in a time when women were the ‘stay at home moms’ and the fathers were the breadwinners, this commercial takes it another step and criticizes a women who’s trying to take matters in her own hands by price checking other companies to try and save money. As she talks a Man keeps interrupting her as to why she isn’t cooking or taking care of the kids, while she tries to put him in his place, the commercial ends with the man asking where her husband was? I didn’t grow up in the 50’s, so I could see how an older generation could be affected by this Ad. However I was not, it’s a witty commercial that makes me think about how things use to be. Progressive is a huge corporate...

...that he is different, but as a child, is somewhat thoughtful, and fascinated with a village of knights led by a man called Hrothgar. He doesn’t understand why people kill each other and just leave the bodies, he hates how wasteful they are. The humans make it clear to him that they don’t want him around; he grows colder and develops anger towards Hrothgar. To supplement Grendel’s growing hatred, he stumbles upon a dragon in the forest. When Grendel is frightened, the dragon tells him,”Now you know how they feel when they see you” (Gardner 59). The dragon tells Grendel to stop fighting his instincts, and be the monster he is meant to be, because while humans may define themselves as non-monstrous, but when the monster leaves, they are left to play the part of the monster themselves. The dragon also tells Grendel that the shaper that once made Grendel fascinated by the human race sings tales of lies. The dragon does slightly change Grendel’s perspective; maybe because Grendel thought that is what the dragon saw in his future, maybe it is because Grendel knows that the dragon has already gone through the same torture he is experiencing now, or maybe it is because the dragon was the first being besides his mother that wasn’t scared of him. The other difference the dragon made in Grendel’s life, was giving him the ability to be unharmed by weapons, which further alienated Grendel from the humans. He begins to attack them himself, leaving behind just as much waste as they do during wars...
