...FOSS Free Open Source Software This means you have the freedom to copy and re-use software rather than to have to pay for each version or new edition. Though the term is used inclusively there are differing ideas surrounding each. For example Free software is more about the freedom it gives user whereas Open Source is praised for the strength of the whole peer-to-peer modle that is used. The whole general idea of FOSS arose in the 1980’s through one Richard Stallman who was the founder and creator of the GNU project which later went on to become the Free Software Foundation. FOSS philosophy simply states that it is the right of every user to use, modify, and distribute computer software for any purpose. The right to use, distribute, modify and redistribute derivative versions, the so called "four freedoms," are based in and representative of an extreme form of anti-discrimination resistant to categorization into the typical “left, center and right” political schema. This element of nondiscrimination, coupled with the broad nature of FOSS's philosophical foundation, enables the easy adoption of FOSS technologies. FOSS's broadly defined freedom acts as an important starting point and one conceptual hinge useful in understanding the wide circulation of FOSS as a set of technologies, signs, methodologies and philosophies. An analysis of the way in which this philosophical and legal form is animated and redirected in particular ways through the use of FOSS technologies...

...Source fosters creativity. Software products can often require an overwhelming amount of code for one individual or even a few individuals to write, especially if all that code needs to be original so that it does not infringe on another person’s copyright. This may not be a problem for large companies with armies of engineers. But this can be an insurmountable hurdle for individuals or smaller groups. Open source licensing enables developers not only by providing sets of code that can be appropriated towards their final vision, but it also enables others to actively contribute to or improve upon another developer’s product. A great metaphor for the effect of Open Source is Wikipedia.org. Wikipedia’s content is licensed under a Creative Commons license, which achieves the same goals as open source software licenses. Much like encyclopedia volumes, which are collections of articles that contribute to the whole set, software products may be seen as a collection of coded functions. Traditionally, each article of an encyclopedia is written by a small number of employees of the encyclopedia company. Then came Wikipedia. Any person can contribute to almost any article. The result became a go-to resource that cannot be matched in depth, breadth or currentness by any one publisher. Likewise, any of the information may be used freely by any reader as long as they comply with the Attribution and Share Alike...

Attitude is the very gist of an individual's way of thinking; it is an individual's ideals, his concepts of right and wrong, and all his/her aspirations. In a nutshell, attitude can be defined as the totality of the individual himself. Man is, I'd say, what his attitude is. His thinking, his views, his likes, and dislikes are all enveloped in the single word i.e. 'attitude'. The next point for us to understand that we discover how these attitudes grow in an individual, are they inborn or are they a later growth in man's life. To this question, the answer is that, yes, some aspects of an individual's attitude are inborn, inherited and taken in due to his/her circumstances. This is because what an individual grows with, has got to have an influence on his life's pattern and his personal thinking, which account for his attitude. However, as he grows, and comes out of his shell out of his very personal circumstances, and develops his own attitudes to several things. Though at this stage of his being a grown up person, some changes may occur according to the needs of the...

...Fuel from the Fields Charcoal Fuel from the Fields charcoal is an inexpensive, clean-burning, environmentally friendly alternative cooking fuel that is made from agricultural waste materials and thus does not lead to deforestation. This instruction sheet explains how to make Fuel from the Fields charcoal; the process can and should be adapted to your local environment. We encourage you to experiment and let us know your results (you can email us at charcoal@mit.edu) 1 Elements for making Charcoal The main step in making Fuel from the Fields charcoal is carbonization, which requires three things: dry organic material (also called biomass), heat, and control of the amount of oxygen. The biomass may be any of a variety of agricultural waste materials including: corncobs, sugarcane waste (bagasse), millet stalks, groundnut shells, palm leaves or bamboo. It must be very dry in order to burn properly. The heat is generated by setting the biomass on fire, and the oxygen-free environment is created by sealing the drum with sand or soil. The carbonized material is then crushed, mixed with a binder, and then made into briquettes. Biomass Heat Oxygen Control 2 1. Preparing the Kiln A 55 gallon oil drum can be used as a kiln to make charcoal Cut a large opening for filling Cut several holes in the the kiln with the material you bottom of the drum. These want to carbonize. holes allow air to flow through the drum while burning, which results in a hotter fire...

...Michael Lin English 131 10/20/10 Appropriation in Culture In the documentaries Rip! : A Remix Manifesto and Walking on Eggshells: Borrowing Culture in the Remix Age, intertextual conversations arose when both films discussed appropriation by citizens in a positive light. In Walking on Eggshells, the director focused on one specific area of appropriation which looked at how common appropriation had been in the past. Moreover, he argues that artists sometimes wish to share their music, thus arguing in favor of mass appropriation. In Rip!, the director expands on those ideas by arguing why copyright laws are evil by applying that concept to different fields like medicine and plants. Due to the ridiculousness of copyright laws, mass appropriation should be allowed and such an act will benefit our culture because many new works could be created. The main premise behind Walking on Eggshells is the prevalence of appropriation. Examples throughout history were used like Picasso’s paintings being similar to old African paintings. Moreover, in television, cartoon characters such as Bugs Bunny referenced famous people like Mozart to entertain children. Finally, in music, Daft Punk was essentially a fusion of the works of Mozart and Beethoven. With so many instances of appropriation, it is hard to punish everyone for committing it. Moreover, artists sometimes do not care about money, and so they are willing to let their music be downloaded for free or be remixed because they care...

...OBJECTS AND SPECIMENS Definition: A collection of real things for instructional use refers to objects. A specimen is a sample of the real object or a material. Using objects and specimens: While using the specimen and objects as teaching aids, a teacher must keep the following points in her mind. * Plan your teaching with certain simple and direct observations of the object or specimen being referred to. * Ask questions from the students to elicit more details of the features of the object or specimen under observation. * Clarify and emphasize important structural details of the object or specimen under observation * Provide review and practice to make learning permanent. Purposes: Real objects can help achieve your instructional purposes by: * Stimulating students interest in real world. * Introducing new ideas and information related to the objects around us. * Making instruction relevant by relating abstract ideas to a concrete world. * Developing individual and group responsibility through collection and care of objects. * Lending beauty and atmosphere to the classroom. * Sources of objects and specimens: * Local markets * Manufacturers and factories * Discarded material from the houses * Specimen found in the nature can be collected by students from field trips and nature hunt * Plasters casts can be purchased * Wild flowers, leaves shells, stones butterflies moths, insects can also be procured...
