...We watched an American horror film in class. Its name is “The Ring”, and it remade a Japanese supernatural psychological film Ring. They used same novel Ring by Koji Suzuki. American Ring directed by Gore Verbinski and starring Naomi Watts and Martin Henderson. I like the US version better than the Japanese original. In fact, I think the two do not compete with the points, and they are both high-quality works. Flogging at different angles of the same class of phenomena. But the US version is more in line with my philosophy. The film implicitly condemned the girl's behavior logic. People, not for they have been treated unfairly that we have reason to harm others. Of course, the problem really is not so simple. The film has been sold a layer...

...------------------------------------------------- Rain Rain Go Away "Rain Rain Go Away" is a popular English language nursery rhyme. Similar rhymes can be found in many societies, including ancient Greece. The modern English language rhyme can be dated to at least to the 17th century when James Howell in his collection of proverbs noted Rain rain go to Spain: faire weather come again.[1] A version very similar to the modern version was noted by John Aubrey in 1687 as used by "little children" to "charm away the Rain...": Rain rain go away, come again a Saturday.[ ------------------------------------------------- Ring a Ring o' Roses "Ring a Ring o' Roses" or "Ring around the Rosie" is a nursery rhyme or folksong and playground singing game. It first appeared in print in 1881, but it is reported that a version was already being sung to the current tune in the 1790s and similar rhymes are known from across Europe. It has around number of 7925.

...Echinoderms are one of the most highly derived groups of animals with many species as significant components of several marine communities. They’re classified by three fundamental shared characteristics: 1) pentaradial symmetry, 2) skeleton made of three-dimensional calcitic elements, and 3) the presence of a water vascular system with an external opening. This water-vascular system (WVS), in particular, remains a unique application of a hydraulic system, generating pressure gradients that are able to command hundreds of tiny, adorable tube feet to crawl over uneven surfaces and feeding on tough shelled prey like mussels. The basic components of the WVS in non-crinoid echinoderms (below) include a circumoral ring canal with five radial canals extending from off of it. Also attached to the ring canal is the madreporite, which acts as a door between the external environment of the sea and the internal environment of the echinoderm. The madreporite, named after its resemblance to the Madreporaria coral (meaning “mother of the pores”), is lined with cells that beat tail-like flagella in a variety of directions.The fluid inside the WVS is similar to seawater in composition but contains up to 60% more potassium ions, slightly higher concentrations of chloride ions, and freely floating albuminous protein. Sea cucumbers have also been found to have red blood cells in their WVS. Each radial canal has serially repeating pairs of shorter canals that attach to the tube feet, which are operated...

...A “Cheers” Church Denice Colson Cheers was a wildly successful sitcom set in a bar in Boston. The story line followed the lives of the staff and regular customers in the bar. The theme song was also very popular. “Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name, and they’re always glad you came. You want to be where people see, our troubles are all the same. You want to go where everybody knows your name.” The writers created not only a catchy tune, but words that have actual meaning. There are several basic human needs being addressed in this song. The need to belong, the need to have value in other peoples eyes, the need to know and be known, and the need to be accepted just like you are. Of course, the script writers would have people believe that these needs can be met in a bar; that is unlikely, for a variety of reasons. However, the fact that these needs must be met while being a part of a group is true. This activity of grouping to mutually meet needs creates what is called community—common unity. Community happens when we create an atmosphere where intimacy can develop and people can grow and thrive. That’s what our families are supposed to be like. That’s what our churches are supposed to be like. That’s what our Life Group classes are supposed to be like. Why? Because God created us, male and female, in His image and His image is one of unity-community. God presents Himself as a triune being. He is Father, Son and Spirit. He is One God. When He...

...in the number of stations on the LAN, whereas it increases (at least initially) with the increase in the number of stations in a token-ring LAN? A) There are too many differences between Token Ring and Ethernet to list out here. You could read more about it from many useful search results for "ethernet vs. token ring." I'll point out a key difference and give you a source answering your question on performance. Ethernet is based on CSMA/CD (carrier sense multiple access with collision detection), meaning multiple stations sense the carrier at the same time and send data when the carrier is free. However, there might be multiple stations sending a free carrier and send the data at the same time, causing "collision." Collision is the main factor affecting ethernet's performance. The more stations on the same LAN, the higher the collision rate, the lower the performance. Token Ring, on the other hand, is based on a control/access given to the station owning the "token." Think of a token as the key to the media: whichever station has the token would be allowed to use the ring to send the data. So there would be no collision, just multiple stations competing for the same token. With not too many stations, the wait-for and claim of the token is very efficient (think of a video game with less players waiting to play it.) But if there are too many stations, most would just sit around and wait for the token, hence the flat-out of its performance. 2) What are the standards used for...

...Introduction After turning in my midterm portfolio, I definitely felt like I needed to put prioritize this class than I had before. Because of this, I tried to improve on my mistakes from the Rhetoric In Practice project and build good habits for Writing 39C. Looking back on the previous project, I identified my biggest problem to be the planning stages as it really impaired my efficiency when working on the project as I was unsure of a direction to pursue throughout the project and was only able to narrow it down toward the end. Beginning with the Low-Stakes Writing: RA Freewrite, I tried to answer the prompt as a brainstorming tool rather than to answer the questions directly in order to have a clearer planning stage. The first section...

...SPECIAL TOPICS Special Topics:Resilient Packet Ring Resilient Packet Ring (RPR) - a Flexible Data Access Technology for Metropolitan Area Networks Steven S. Gorshe Principal Engineer - PMC-Sierra, Inc. steve_gorshe@pmc-sierra.com ABSTRACT IEEE 802.17 Resilient Packet Ring (RPR) is a promising new technology that was standardized to meet the needs of telecommunications network providers and enterprise data networks. RPR allows substantial reuse of the valuable existing telecommunications infrastructure, while also allowing a greatly simplified means of aggregating packetized data from many customers into the provider’s access and metro networks. The RPR fairness protocol and algorithm insures fair medium access among an RPR’s users. RPR also provides the high reliability that has become increasingly important for enterprise network users. This paper reviews the key aspects of RPR, including medium access control and its fairness mechanism, physical layer options, protection/restoration options, and bridging and routing within and across an RPR. INTRODUCTION The increasing importance and bandwidth demands of enterprise networks in the 1990s generated the desire for a new metropolitan area network (MAN) and wide area network (WAN) protocol. From a data network perspective, the existing protocols lacked a fast, simple Layer 1 mechanism to recover from network faults. From a telecommunications network perspective, it was critical to have a network access technique...

...identify themselves as subjects.”(Rajchman) And then another good quote about Michel Foucault is “For more than a decade, his elegant shaved skull had been an emblem of political courage-a cynosure of resistance to institutions that would smother the free spirit and stifle the right to be different.” (Miller 13) I will be exploring how the present days views are reinforced; the dominant message of how a wedding should be and then how in some movies, the post-feminism is displayed which slightly alters this dominant image. I will be also exploring the mix of cultural traditions within the wedding to see how the structure is similar or drastically different. I will discuss Marx’s Materialism ideology aspect of the domination of the ruling class and explore the aspect of the base and superstructure with the mode of production/the system of economic relations within the institutions surrounding wedding ideology. Through close textual analysis, I will show the dominant ideology of the wedding industry as illustrated through media and the attitudes of various woman; comparing views of two extremes to the leading up to that of the dominant American wedding ideology of the industry and secondly, I will then contrast this structuralism to that of a few other cultural films to explore the obstacles as well as end result of the dominant media ideology. “Capitalism is not only an economic...

...The ritual of marriage is significant in Hinduism and Christianity (Catholic). Hinduism is based on achieving liberation from rebirth as an ongoing struggle by fulfilling one's dharma according to the class in the caste system which one belongs to. In contrast, Christianity (Catholic) is based on the interpretation of the Word of God in the form of tradition. Through shared elements in weddings such as the importance of marriage, the involvement of the witness, the significance of the groom clasping the bride's hand, the exchange of vows and the underlying meaning of the symbol of marriage, one can argue that the theology of Hinduism and Catholicism are revealed. In the Hindu and Catholic traditions there are different perspectives concerning the importance of marriage. Hindu marriages are greatly rooted in the nature of man. Vasudha Narayanan states, "A man has an obligation in life to marry, raise children, and fulfill his debts to his community" (90). Thus, marriage becomes a responsibility, as producing sons in order to preserve the family line and culture, is highly regarded in Hinduism. In order for a male to fulfill his dharma and escape suffering from rebirth, he should attain the three major religious paths which are karma-marga, jnana-marga, and bhakti-marga (Bhogal: Hinduism II). Through performing rituals, priestly teachings, gaining knowledge from the Upanishads and expressing devotion to a god, the aim is moksha, liberation from suffering. Through marriage a man...

...while also learning the meaning of the lyrics. However what does "Semoga Bahagia" really mean? In the most literal sense it translates to "May You Achieve Happiness". On the surface, the lyrics of the songs extol the virtues of being gracious to one another while also working hard for the future. As Singapore is going to celebrate its 50th birthday as a nation, in this documentary, we aim to find out what happiness means to the youth, as well as the adults in Singapore, and how they achieve this state of happiness. In Dazhong Primary School, one of the many primary schools in Singapore, a Music teacher, Ms. Hamidah, will attempt to explain the history behind the song. Through her perspective, we will also find out the everyday scenes that is happening in a primary school as she teaches a Music class to a group of children. She then shows us what is her daily responsibilities as a teacher in school, as well as her interactions with fellow teachers in the office. This would show the school system of Singapore While the film progresses, one of the children, a 10-year old primary school student, Patrick, would share his perspective on what it means to be a child of Singapore as we observe what he does in the day-to-day routine inside and outside the classroom. In the morning, we would watch him prepare himself for school. The student will speak about his goals in the future as well as his short-term goals. In the school, he listens to the teacher in class, together with his classmates...

...are an important part of our childhood. We sung them during class, at home, in front of guests, in the playground and a lot of us sing them even today. Nursery rhymes were like the first form of music that we learnt and to a 3 year old, I bet they are like the Beatles or ABBA or even Taylor Swift! But, recently, I have been wondering whether or rather WHAT these rhymes mean because, to me, they all sound pretty destructive. We sing about children breaking their heads, lying and laughing about it and weird eggs falling off walls (well, nowhere is it written that humpty dumpty was an egg, but that’s another topic all together). Anyway, so I decided to look it up. I decided to find out from where these nursery rhymes originated and what they mean… Oh! And what I read, well, it was shocking. Apparently, most of the rhymes were originated centuries ago and were used as a mode of free speech by many. They would write these rhymes to criticize the political scenes of the time as open criticism would get them killed. Hence obviously they don’t mean happy and joyous things. But, it makes me sad to think that little children sing about such violence. Ill tell you about the meanings of a few commonly sung rhymes across the globe… 1. Jack and Jill- Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water Jack fell down and broke his crown And Jill came tumbling after. A rhyme EVERY child knows… according to many sites, Jack is a reference to King Louis XVI and Jill stands...

...unique of the class of Plasmodium that is the foundation and cause malaria in individuals. There are other Plasmodium species that can cause malaria in humans. Nevertheless P. falciparum is the most common, virulent, and deadly. P. falciparum communicable by the female Anopheles mosquito. P. falciparum life cycle is comprised of two hosts. A P. falciparum carrier female Anopheles mosquito injects sporozoites into the human, infecting their liver cells. Once there infection and damage to red blood cells is critical to the parasites survival. Because red blood cells transport oxygen all over the body, their destruction by P. falciparum causes basic functional devastation to the host. Plasmodium falciparum increase the speed glucose synthesis in red blood cells causing a large yield of energy. P. falciparum use a hefty portion of this energy to destroy hemoglobin proteins in the cells and to inhibit damaging chemical reactions related to the breakdown. During the destruction of the red blood cells P. falciparum treat the amino acids as waste and are usually discarded from the cell, instead of being used to make their own protein from the hemoglobin breakdown. The sporozoites developed into schizonts, which lyse and discharge merozoites into the blood streem. This is termed exo-erythrocytic schizogony. Once that happens, the parasites go through asexual duplication in the erythrocytes, called erythrocytic schizogony. The merozoites infect red blood cells. During ring stage of P...

...Colorado Technical University HUMN250-1303B-11 World Values and Cultures Professor Bunch August 26, 2013 Culture is one of the most important and basic concepts of sociology. In sociology culture has a specific meaning. The anthropologists believe that the behaviour which is meant is called culture. In other words the behaviour which is transmitted to us by someone is called culture. The ways of living, eating, wearing, singing, dancing and talking are all parts of a culture. In common parlance, the word culture, is understood to mean beautiful, refined or interesting. In sociology we use the word culture to denote acquired behaviour which are shared by and transmitted among the members of the society. In other words, culture is a system of learned behaviour shared by and transmitted among the members of a group. Human behavior is affected both by genetic inheritance and by experience. The ways in which people develop are shaped by social experience and circumstances within the context of their inherited genetic potential. The scientific question is just how experience and hereditary potential interact in producing human behavior. Each person is born into a social and cultural setting—family, community, social class, language, religion—and eventually develops many social connections. The characteristics of a child's social setting affect how he or she learns to think and behave, by means of instruction, rewards and punishment, and example. This setting includes home, school...

...Seasons Sarcophagus art piece from the Dumbarton Oaks Museum. As soon as I entered the Byzantine room, something massive caught my eye. It was a late Roman sarcophagus, dated 330-335 CE. I was immediately drawn to its beauty, and intricacy. It's still very well intact and the detail in the relief is still wonderfully preserved. It's amazing how the sarcophagus takes over the whole room; due to its large scale and the many intricate carvings made into the marble. I found myself standing in front of this piece for a long time just admiring every carving from top to bottom. Initially I had assumed that the images on the sarcophagus were Christian images, upon a closer look I came to the realization that the sarcophagus is of pagan decent. After realizing that the sarcophagus was pagan in nature, it depicts the belief in an afterlife by showing the different...
