...multiple layers or multiple worlds within the image itself. The kitchen, significantly lit and obviously well used, throws light into the middle room. A flower-covered candle chandelier illuminates the scene at the table and small pieces of detail on the walls. Two statue-like people sit at this dining table set for four, forever still and silent in a moment that presents a bewildering mystery inquisitively explored by the viewer. There is a moment of connectedness between the viewer and the photograph. At first glance, the photograph is an experience, a signifier of what the camera has seen and what the artist intended the viewer to see. The viewer establishes a correspondence with the work - a moment of recognition of something both outside themselves (the photograph) and something within themselves (the repressed). These repressed memories surface as a mnemic trace that is both projected onto the work, and perceived by the audience. The correspondence between the viewer and the artwork allows the memory created by the work to be retained even after the artwork is no longer within visual perspective. This correspondence allows the viewer to remember what they want to see, and not the memory of the work as a whole. This is what Minor White postulates as Equivalence. It is the theory of equivalence that explores...

...The Vernier Principle. The vernier is an auxiliary scale, invented by Pierre Vernier in 1631, which has graduations that are of different length from those on the main scale but that bear a simple relation to them. The vernier scale has 10 divisions that correspond in length to 9 divisions on the main scale. Each vernier division is therefore shorter than a main-scale division by 1/10 of a main-scale division. The zero mark of the vernier scale coincides with the zero mark of the main scale. The first vernier division is 1/10 main-scale division short of a mark on the main scale, the second division in 2/10 short of the next mark on the main scale, and so on until the tenth vernier division is 10/10, or a whole division, short of a mark on the main scale. It therefore coincides with a mark on the main scale. The Vernier Caliper. A widely used type of vernier caliper is shown schematically. The instrument has both British and metric scales and is provided with devices to measure internal depths and both inside and outside diameters. The jaws c and d are arranged to measure an outside diameter, jaws e and f to measure an inside diameter, and the blade g to measure an internal depth. The knurled wheel W is used for convenient adjustment of the movable jaw and the latch L to lock the jaw in position. A micrometer screw is another device for measuring very small distances. It consists essentially of a carefully machined screw R, to which is attached a circular scale C. A linear...

...Theories on the Construction of Giza Anthony R. Woodrum Professor Kristen Messer World Cultures I July 27, 2014 Theories on the Construction of Giza There have been many theories regarding how the pyramids at Giza were constructed. Most experts agree that they were constructed as burial monuments for pharaohs, but “how” these ancient people constructed monuments of such great size without modern machinery is a mystery which is still being debated. The theories range from the use of ramps, rollers and wood sleds; to copper tools, wood, rope and sweat; and as farfetched as aliens being responsible for the construction of the pyramids. I chose what I think are the two most likely theories on how the pyramids were constructed. The two theories are the transport theory and the internal ramp theory. My first choice on the transport theory was by a polish engineer by the name of Andrzeji Bochnacki. His theory consisted of using the Nile River to move the stones close to the location of the pyramid. Apparently they built some form of a boat and tied ropes to them. They would pull the boats carrying the stones up the Nile River when the water levels would raise. Then he continued to lean towards the Egyptians using a series of external ramps with simple tools to move the blocks to their final destination. “Simple wooden levers and wedges or only wooden wedges will be completely suitable tools for blocks transport along the ramp. And we do not have to worry about friction...

...Uninterrupted power supplies have a battery life of 30minutes, which result in a complete power loss once the battery runs out, if power is not restored within the battery life time frame. Therefore, to avoid this, a commercial back-up diesel generator would be ideal. A recommendation would be to install the generator inside the external plant room, which offers protection and has plenty of air circulation coming through the locked ventilated metal doors. Ensure a maintenance schedules is also set up and strictly followed and signed off by senior management to reduce the risk of generator issues. A testing procedure and policy should also be included to ensure the effectiveness and operational status of the...

...project is a pulley system. The pulley system consists of a small bucket with washers inside. Attached to the other side of the pulley system are washers as well. The pulley system is at first unequally weighted, having more weight on the non-bucket side. It is slightly heavier on the one side because when the marble falls into the bucket, the bucket will become heavier causing the washers to advance upwards as the bucket advances downwards. When this happen, another marble is released. A pulley is a simple machine that consists of a wheel on an angle, which allows a rope to glide smoothly along it, allowing the object to be lifted easily. This step relates to the physics content because it corresponds to forces. When a free body diagram of a...

...on a national dance competition. Chaz Bono should be able to partake in Dancing with the Stars without ridicule and be judged solely on his dancing technique. Activists are calling for boycotts of this number one rated show because Chaz Bono is one of many contestants this season. The controversy here is Chaz’s right to compete in peace on the show so that he will be judged by his dancing abilities only and not by his transgender identity. What is it that has everyone scared? Is it the fear of the unknown and lack of understanding of what being transgendered means? Transgender by definition is a person who identifies with or expresses a gender identity that differs from the one which corresponds to the persons sex at birth according to Webster’s, or simply put the inside doesn’t match the outside appearance of a man or women. There are a multitude of debates circulating around Chaz Bono dancing on this season’s Dancing with The Stars that it needs to be addressed. The “anti-Chaz” organizations state “he could be contagious to our children”, also that it will affect children negatively and is anti-Christian. These reasons are simply invalid and uneducated. Therefore Chaz Bono should be able to partake in Dancing with the Stars without ridicule and be judged solely on his dancing technique. Chaz was born a female named, Chastity Bono and grew up in America’s living rooms as the adorable only daughter of Sony and Cher Bono. Now as an adult Chaz realizes that his struggles throughout...

...Harden Windows XP with Group Policy Brian Blanchette Strayer University Abstract Hardening client computers is essential when you are using a multi platform based network. Hardening is simply creating security lockdown protocols that will deter any intrusion from the outside and inside of a network. There are several ways to deploy those hardening settings the Security Configuration Wizard Graphic User Interface (SCW GUI), the Scwcmd command line deployment tool, and the Group Policy object (GPO). We will be discussing the GPO deployment method. This hardening procedure is required to maintain a secure operating system and network environment as a network firewall cannot prevent all intrusion that need to be stopped. When using the GPO to deploy security setting to another client computer there are some things that need to be done in order for the set up to be successful. There will be the need for a security risk assessment to be conducted to determine what will need to be protected against and what type of protection levels will need to be implemented. How the hardening (security) policies will be created and deployed to client computers. What type of operating systems is on the network in order to test the policy before it is deployed? With these question answered the hardening process can begin. First the servers and client computers must have the latest updates from their respective software company then the policies...

...VASILEIOS-MARIOS GKORTSAS vasilisg@mit.edu 6.638 Term Paper Attosecond Pulse Generation Abstract: The word “attosecond” (1 as = 10-18 sec) entered the vocabulary of physics when sub-femtosecond pulses of UV/XUV light were established. High harmonic generation (HHG) is currently the only experimentally proven method for generating attosecond pulses. Attosecond science has opened the door to real-time observation and time-domain control of atomic-scale electron dynamics. In this work, we review the essentials of the generation of attosecond pulses and we mention the applications of attosecond science in the control of electronic motion. 1. Introduction The need for finer time resolution and the quest for higher peak power explain the continuous trend towards shorter laser pulses since the invention of the laser. The historical progress of ultra-short technology is summarized in Figure 1. The first pulse lasers had duration of several hundreds of microseconds. The invention of Q-switching (Hellwarth, 1961) reduced the pulse length to 10 ns (four orders of magnitude decrease). The invention of laser mode locking (DiDomenico, 1964; Hargrove et al., 1964; Siegman, 1970) accompanied by broad gain laser media (Shank and Ippen 1974) further reduced the duration to less than 1 ps (another four orders of magnitude decrease). The ring cavity with intra-cavity prism compensation of the group velocity dispersion produced pulses of 6 fs (Fork et al, 1987)...

...Dyscalculia Dyslexia is known as the confusion of an individual mixing up letters, reading the items upside down, backward and in different orders. However, dyscalculia is very rarely spoken about, especially in public school systems, and usually, students are recognized as struggling in math and logic rather than receiving an accurate diagnosis. Dyscalculia is the failure to understand the concept of numbers, calculation, and that number names correspond to an item (Rapin, 2016). Kadosh and Walsh (2007) explain that dyscalculia is not the same as being terrible at computations, but dyscalculia must be specific to a plethora of abilities. Additionally, there are various subtypes of dyscalculia. This may include automatic processing, associative...
