...HTML FORMS Introduction For a website to be successful, it is important to be able to get feedback from visitors to your site. This could be a request for information, general comments on your site or even a product order. This could be done with a MAILTO: link but providing a form has several advantages over a simple email. .. It makes it easier for people to send the information .. A form gives you greater control over the information that is sent. .. Form results can be organised in a way that makes them easy to store in a spreadsheet or database. These fields can be added to your forms: Text field Password field Hidden field Text area Check box Radio button Drop-down menu Submit button Reset button Image button Form Handlers When a form is filled in by a visitor to your site and sent, the results of the form need to be processed in some way. One of the most common ways to process form results is with a CGI (Common Gateway Interface) script. This is a small program that the information entered in to the form is sent to as soon as the form is submitted. The purpose of this script is to accept the results of a form, organise the results and send the results to an appropriate location, such as a text file, database or email address. In these exercises we won’t go into creating CGI scripts since that is quite different from HTML and requires some programming knowledge. There are many free CGI scripts on the Internet that you can download...

...a) Explain Plato’s Theory of Forms Plato’s Theory of Forms is similar to many other beliefs about the world. For instance, Heraclitus’ notion was that we see a world of perception in constant flux of which we have no true knowledge, while Zeno believed that we can see a static unchanging world and it can be grasped through reason. Plato’s theory is strongly based on what is real and what is not. What is real is thought to be perfect, but something cannot be real or perfect if it is transient. He explains that the World of Forms is very different to the World of Shadows. The World of Forms can only be properly understood by philosophers and those who seek knowledge, not by the ignorant or those who do not wish to learn the truth. The Theory of Forms makes a distinction between those objects that are real and those that are only real in our minds. His dialogues, like the Allegory of the Cave, portray knowledge as the process of leaving the cave and going into the sunlight. The people in the cave find their reality in the shadows cast in the cave and assume there can never be anything beyond these shadows. These shadows symbolise how the world that we see is just a shadow or reflection of what is real. For Plato, the real world is not what we see around us, it is only the World of Forms that is real. Plato believes there are two distinct realms of existence which exists simultaneously. This approach to the two different worlds is know as dualism. The world we live in is...

...Theory of the Forms and the Sensible World This paper will discuss the relationship between the knowledge of the forms and opinion about the sensible world. After describing the sensible world, Socrates brings up a new concept about how this world should be ruled. This paper will argue that because philosophy kings have knowledge about the forms they are better rulers of the sensible world, rather than sight-lovers. This paper is divided into two phases, each showing how Socrates has used the theory of the forms. Philosopher Kings and Sight Lovers: The idea of philosophy kings first comes up in Book V of the Republic at 473d. Socrates claims that the sensible world can only exist once kings, or those who rule practice philosophy. As Socrates is saying this, he himself realizes how his statement is somewhat radical. This radical claim by Socrates leads him to distinguish the difference between philosophy kings and sight lovers using the theory of the forms. At 476b (Rep. V), Socrates says that the lovers of sights only like beautiful characteristics such as shapes and sounds. Socrates argues that these individuals don’t see the underlying beauty. Although not explicitly mentioned, at this point, Socrates is using the theory of forms to distinguish philosophers and sight lovers. For sight-lovers, beauty is on a comparative basis; say for example “A” has beautiful features once it is observed alone. Once we compare “A” with all things beautiful, it may not posses the beauty it once...

...philosophical different between the ‘fake world’ in which we live and the world of forms. Plato portrays this message through a story of a group of prisoners in a cave who can only see shadows cast upon the wall in front of them. These shadows are created by puppeteers behind them and they believe that the shadows are reality. The message created through this scene is that the real world is full of illusion which hides reality. It subtly represents the human which confines the soul, preventing it from seeking the truth, in this case, reality and the world of the forms. The analogy represents the entire human race that is yet to seek the philosophical truth. It teaches us that the world in which we live is full of illusion and everything we see is just an imitation of the forms. Each element of the analogy is symbolic and holds a meaning which may not be completely obvious until the analogy is further understood. We, as prisoners are believed to be rejecting of new ideas and that the actual process of teaching is distressing and difficult due to the fact that when the prisoner is first released he continuously attempts to return to the cave as it is where he feels comfortable. The way the prisoner is dragged up into reality again reiterates the idea that we are all quite narrow-minded and we don’t want to open up to new thoughts and ideas. When the prisoner begins to differentiate between the world of forms and the world of taught perceptions where everything is just a copy he returns...

...Form and structure of ‘In Memorium’ The poem ‘In Memorium’ by Alfred Tennyson serves as a deep and detailed exploration of loss and grief, also discussing personal matters of male friendship and comradeship. The title ‘In Memorium’ means in memory of, clearly indicating that this is going to be a poem discussing the bereavement of someone, this person suggested to be the ‘A.H.H’ in the title which are the initials of someone’s name. Furthermore, the roman numerals ‘’MDCCCXXXIII’ after ‘OBIT’ are the year of this person’s death, 1933, with ‘OBIT’ also standing for obituary which is a tribute written for someone after their death. This detail all in the title of the poem indicates to the reader that this is someone who Tennyson was particularly close to, with the layout of the title in some of the original publications resembling a gravestone being a particularly prominent feature. The poem is in the form of an elegy which is a poem about the loss of a loved one, immediately emphasising the themes of pain and loss. There is a monotonous regular meter and rhyme scheme, with each line being octosyllabic and iambic tetrameter with 4 sets of iambs. This repetitive, structured rhythm can be said to echo the vital processes within the body such as breathing or a beating heart. This is representative of the functions which force the poet speaker to keep him going and continue living, despite an overwhelming grief. The slight deviation from the otherwise consistent structure in the second...

...Plato's Theory of Forms Plato was a Greek philosopher, one of the most important figures of the Ancient Greek world and the entire history of Western Philosophy. Plato wrote about many ideas in philosophy that are still talked about today. His writings explored justice, beauty and equality, and also contained discussions in aesthetics, political philosophy, theology, cosmology, epistemology and the philosophy of language. He was fascinated of the distinction between ideal forms and everyday experience. Plato was a student of Socrates and he thougth that Socrates has a pretty good ideas about the world, particulary when he came to his method of asking questions about established ideas. Since we know that Socrates wrote nothing down everything that we know about him comes in the form of dialogues written by Plato. Plato thinks that there is an explanaition for questions and he can answer "what is virtue ?" or "what is justice ?". Plato comes up with idea of answering these questions, with the Theory of Forms - the most imporant philosophical concept. Plato used his Theory of Forms to link the mind and reality. He taught that the real world consisted of universal ideas (forms). The world that people actually see is given form by these ideas and is thus less real because it is always changing, but the forms are eternal and unchangeable. Plato’s Theory of Forms states, that the physical world is not really the ‘real’ world, instead, ultimate reality exists beyond our physical...

...SAP Smartforms can be used for creating and maintaining forms for mass printing in SAP Systems. The output medium for Smartforms support printer, fax, e-mail, or the Internet (by using the generated XML output). According to SAP, you need neither have any programming knowledge nor use a Script language to adapt standard forms. However, basic ABAP programming skills are required only in special cases (for example, to call a function module you created or for complex and extensive conditions). SAP Smart Form Process Overview The basic structure of SAP Smart Forms consists of the Smart Form Builder, the Smart Form print form template (which you create or is given to you as a preconfigured starting point), the Smart Form function module, and the Smart Form print program (also described as a driver program). The Smart Form print programs are not the same as SAPScript programs, and you cannot use a SAPScript print program with a Smart Form print form. Programming Flow When an SAP Smart Form template is created, a user creates the form layout, defines the required fields, conditions, and special programming instructions in the Smart Form template using the Smart Form Builder. After the form design is complete, the form needs to be activated before it can be tested or accessible by print programs. Activating the form initiates the generation of a function module that handles all of the form’s processing. This function module interacts with the application program and print...

...concepts of Plato’s forms (25 marks) Plato believed in two worlds, the sensible world and the intelligible world. Within the intelligible world there exists the realm of forms which possesses true knowledge and perfection. The realm of Forms is eternal, unchanging, there are abstracts of a perfect object and organisms (human beings or animals), meaning there is a perfect abstract of a chair in the intelligible world which possess a certain value which cannot be possessed in the sensible world. However within the sensible world there exist shadows which are cast by abstracts from the intelligible world but they never possess their true value, and within the sensible world all things are temporarily meaning they will soon die, change and decay. The term “Form” to Plato meant the idea of what a thing is, this is because he realized that there are things which look different but have the same features which make it recognizable to the specific thing you have in mind e.g. when someone says “look at that boy” you immediately know/recognize that it’s a boy you have to look at because he will have the features of a boy, but once you see him you may figure out that his appearance may be a little different to some other boys but nonetheless since he has some set of characteristics that resemble a boy, you will be confident to come to a conclusion that he is a boy. This is also the same with what Plato says but he also goes on to argue that the true Form of a boy must exist...

...Theory of the Forms is also seen as unconvincing as it is highly abstract. Therefore it is too incomprehensible to see the way in which these detached Forms can be practical or have significance in the real world as they are too distant. Even if they do exist, do they have a practical function? Can they help humans make decisions about practical matters? In addition very few people will obtain knowledge of the good therefore can the Forms realistically be understood and accepted by all? In this way the Theory is not convincing as it leaves many basic questions unanswered. We are also to question whether there are Forms for everything, from a stone to a lampshade. Plato rarely discusses physical and material objects but more Forms of concepts such as Justice. While he does mention the Form of a bed in The Republic, we are uncertain as to whether this was a serious remark, some even think it was a joke. Furthermore Plato does not clearly explain the link between the World of Forms and that of Appearances, how do they connect? Furthermore we question how general the Forms are. Is there a Form for every breed of horse or just a general Form of a horse? If a Form is a general idea then there is a risk that it lacks detail. However if every breed has a Form then surely the Form loses it's point. One could argue that every breed of horse has enough in common to reflect to some extent the Form of a horse. Again this may not be an issue for Plato if the Theory of Forms applies only...

...Dell's 10-K Report Michael Hedrick Bus 630 Managerial Accounting Anton Narinskiy Aug 6th, 2012 What is Dell's strategy for success in the marketplace? Dell's business strategy combines its direct customer model with a highly efficient manufacturing and supply chain management organization and an emphasis on standards-based technologies. This strategy enables Dell to provide customers with superior value; high-quality, relevant technology; customized systems; superior service and support; and products and services that are easy to buy and use. Does the company rely primarily on a customer intimacy, operational excellence, or product leadership customer value proportion? What evidence supports your conclusion? The main focus for Dell would have to be its customer intimacy. Dell's business model eliminates wholesale and retail dealers that would add unnecessary time costs and should diminish Dell's understanding of what the customer expects of them. By avoiding expenditures associated with the retail business, Dell is able to offer superior customer service. From a personal point of view, I had a virus downloaded by an unwanted email and Dell's customer support service took care of me and eventually, after a few hours, eradicated the virus. My computer has been fine ever since. What business risks does Dell face that may threaten its ability to satisfy stockholder expectations? One risk is that Dell needs to manage its research and evaluation of new...
