For when you are the only ones, you have no need to distinguish your kind from others. Pity those whose exclusive domain once stretched from the Zambezi to the Cape of Good Hope, from the Atlantic to the Indian Oceans” They are the people that have an ancient past for about 3,000 years; they are dances and hunters. Bushmen are facing problems with their way of living, Mahongo, one of the Bushmen in Schmidtsdrift claimed.

...here were many things came into my head when I saw the question "What would you get rid of to improve life in the 21st Century?" However none of them seemed important or exciting enough to be able to write a blog on. But then, after a few seconds I had an epiphany of how much was wrong with this world, obviously there's the obvious things like war and famine etc. but there are also little details that wind me up as well, such as queues; gum under tables; shorts and tops that reveal so much skin the people wearing them may as well wander around naked so everybody sees what they're trying to show in the first place; and then it hit me. The worst thing in this world, the thing everybody hates the thing that kills everybody inside... yes you've guessed it: TV adverts! Getting me started on the words beginning with "t," and "a," is a BAD move (sorry for whoever is reading this, please accept my apology). It annoys me so much that I can rant about it for hours, so I will try to keep this brief so that a) you won't fall asleep half way through and b) i won't break my keyboard whilst typing furiously . So, TV adverts. Where to start? How about their ringtone or theme tunes or whatever type of music it is classified as? Actually, I take that back completely, it is NOT music. An advert that goes "ding, ding, ding, ding," in an annoyingly high pitched "ding?" is not music. (It annoys me as much as high voiced men annoy Miranda, such fun, sorry couldn't resist :D ). In my opinion, it should...

Repeated exposure to tow stimuli occurring in sequence 2. We associate these stimuli with each other Result: Our natural response to one stimulus is now triggered by the new stimulus Classical Conditioning Example • Stimulus 1: See lightening • Stimulus 2: Hear thunder • Response- surprise and wincing at the loud noise After repetition • Stimulus: See lighting • Response: Cover ears to avoid sound Ivan Pavlov’s Discovery • Ivan Pavlov found that dogs salivated not just from food being in their mouths • Neutral Stimuli o Seeing the food o Seeing the dish o Seeing the person who brought the food o Hearing that person’s footsteps Before Conditioning Neutral Stimulus: (NS) A stimulus which does not trigger a response- dog food Unconditional Response (UR): dog salivates During Conditioning NS+US (Unconditioned stimulus)...

...the grass. And the antelope eat the grass. And so we are all connected in the great Circle of Life.” This is only part of the aforementioned food web (also known as the Circle of Life) There are food webs everywhere, yet none is exactly alike. The food web specific to the Pridelands is unique, yet similar to savannas in real life. The lions are the top carnivore in the mentioned/implied food web. Lions in real life eat smaller mammals such as antelopes, zebras, hippos, and warthogs. Lions in the movie eat mice, antelopes, zebras, hornbills, hippos, and warthogs. Note: Timon, a meerkat, and Pumbaa, a warthog introduce Simba, the cub of Mufasa, to “grubs” (various insects’ larvae), which is what their (Timon and Pumbaa’s) diet consists of. Simba has to get used to the grubs, therefore I am not using “the grubs” as part of a lion’s real-life diet. From the movie, one could assume that both warthogs and meerkats are insectivores, when in real life, warthogs are omnivores. The mandrill, Rafiki, is often found eating...

...The sun came up over the African plain, hot and brilliant, just as it had done since the beginning of time. Today, the first rays of the morning sun fell on an astonishing sight. Across the vast Pride Lands, animals moved in great herds, heading for a single destination. Elephants plodded steadily. Antelope leaped through the grass. Giraffes loped. Cheetahs raced. Ants marched in a single line, while huge flocks of flamingoes winged across the sky. They were all journeying to Pride Rock to celebrate the birth of King Mufasa’s son. Above the gathering, on the top of Pride Rock, Rafiki, the wise, old mystic, approached King Mufasa and Queen Sarabi. He cracked open a gourd, dipped his finger in the liquid, and made a special mark on the infant’s forehead. Then he carried the cub to the edge of the rock and held it high. A loud cheer rose from the plain. Elephants trumpeted. Monkeys screeched. Zebras, rhinos, and a host of other animals stamped their hooves. Then a hush fell over the gathering. Together, the animals of Mufasa’s kingdom knelt before Simba, their new prince. Yet one family member did not attend the ceremony. Mufasa’s brother, Scar, had spent the entire morning toying with a mouse. He was just about to eat it when Zazu, the king’s majordomo, appeared. Startled, Scar turned, and the mouse scampered away. “Now look, Zazu, you’ve made me lose my lunch!” Scar complained. “You’ll lose more than that when the king gets through with you!” But Scar wasn’t...

...Finding Nemo and the Lion King The Lion King and Finding Nemo are two of the most popular Disney and Pixar animated family movies. The stories have many similarities and differences. The Lion King is a story about a lion cub named Simba whose over-protective father is killed early on in the movie and the adventures the cub has growing up away from his pride and finally coming back home. Nemo is about a young clown fish named Nemo who has an over-protective father, and how they are separated early on in the movie. The rest of the movie is about the adventures they have trying to get back together. The stories Lion King and Finding Nemo have many similarities. Both movies are animated adventures about wild animals who have over-protective fathers. The stories have tragedies early on where the main characters lose one of their parents in a violent natural way. Both parents lost their lives while trying to save their child (although Nemo was actually still an egg). Even Marlin Nemo’s father was also putting his life on the line when he went a long way to get to his son he and Dory went through sharks, they had to get on a current with turtles, they had to cross a group of jelly fish, they were also encountered by an anglerfish. And had to talk to a wale to finally get them to Sydney then when they got to the Sydney harbor, a pelican had to convince them to get in its mouth so they won’t be eaten by the seagulls and also to take them to his nemo.

...When reading Life of Pi, your task as a reader is not to pin point details which may seem illogical. The two Japanese investigators play this role. They bombard Pi on whether the animal bones on the boat were meerkat or mongoose bones. Mr. Okamoto insists “They could be bones from another small animal” (300). The investigators act like readers who refuse to accept Pi’s story. They are off put by some details and ultimately miss the bigger picture. They don’t understand that the real way to open the audience’s eyes is to change the picture in front of them. If the novel is read like an investigator who meticulously searches for a minute detail that may disprove Pi’s story, they are basically reading a completely different novel. The purpose of Life of Pi is to give its audience an understanding of a traumatic event. A young boy gets trapped in the ocean and is struggles for survival. This may sound ludicrous, but that aspect is not what the author wants...

...It is true that people should believe above all whatever they see but, if they just sit to ponder over all the things that they believe in and accept as truth and have never seen, the list would be never ending. Fiction and non fiction both play an important role in a reader's life, but the line between the two can sometimes be blurred. Defining the genre of book can greatly effect the reader's experience and interpretation of that book, especially when it comes to Yann Martel's Life of Pi. The novel is presented in interview style which may suggest it is a true story, but there is solid evidence behind the fact that it is a work of fiction. For example, the main character manages to stay alive for 227 days with little to no food supply, when in reality no human could go that long. Also, he is accompanied by a dangerous Bengal tiger who would have most likely ate him alive the first chance he got. On top of that, there are places mentioned in the book such as a man eating floating island made out of algae that are completely non existent. Despite any disagreeing evidence, Life of Pi is purely a fiction novel. Not only is this book fiction, it is also highly unrealistic. Pi Patel, the main character, is able to survive 227 with very sparse food and water. At one point in the book, a wave takes away the majority of his food that he was saving and he leaves him with little to nothing. Research shows that humans can only last a maximum of 40 days with no food, and maximum 7 days...

...billion to purchase social mapping startup Waze. This acquisition, the 10th acquisition for Google (Alphabet) in 2013, allowed the company to become a dominant player in online maps. What do you think and why; does Facebook’s and Google’s (Alphabet's) acquisition of other companies provide it with sustainable competitive advantage? As you form your thoughts about this question think of the ecosystem in which Facebook and Google (Alphabet) function and see how module 1 materials can be applied to answer this question. Video application advances in social media over the last 12 months is such a great example of the hypercompetition in a marketplace that Pearlson and Saunders refer to in our textbook (1). From the quick evolution of Meerkat, to Twitters $100 million acquisition of Periscope, to Facebook’s soon to be entrance into the market, it is interesting to watch all of this unfold as we are studying this specific topic. Looking specifically at Twitters acquisitions of Periscope is particularly interesting because it remains so consistent with what Carr wrote about in “IT Doesn’t Matter” (2). Twitter allowed other startups to develop and...

...Streaming Media Meggan Wood ENGL 135 18 May 2015 Prof. Joan Snyder Streaming Media The last few decades have brought about numerous changes to the audio and video delivery method. Where once a family would gather around a large and stationary radio to hear their favorite programs broadcast, nowadays a person can log in to one of many music sites and listen to pretty much whatever they want. Also, television programming providers such as cable and satellite are getting a run for their money with the introduction of various websites and gadgets that allow one to pay much less for much more personalized content. This has all been made possible by advances in streaming media technology. Streaming media is defined as “video and/or audio data transmitted over a computer network for immediate playback rather than for file download and later (offline) playback” (Mitchell, 2015, para. 1). As streaming media becomes more accessible, it is forever changing how the general population receives content and communicates with one another. Without a doubt, consumers have seen the ability to obtain, view, save, and replay various types of streaming media change drastically over the last 100 years. Radio started the whole streaming media movement back in 1916 with regular Morse Code weather pattern communications in Wisconsin. These were the first regular broadcasts outside of a military or maritime function (VanBerkum, 2014, para. 3). From there, Muzak, recorded background music...

...Ang Lee's "Life of Pi" is a miraculous achievement of storytelling and a landmark of visual mastery. Inspired by a worldwide best seller that many readers must have assumed was unfilmable, it is a triumph over its difficulties. The story involves the 227 days that its teenage hero spends drifting across the Pacific in a lifeboat with a Bengal tiger. They find themselves in the same boat after an amusing and colorful prologue, which in itself could have been enlarged into an exciting family film. Then it expands into a parable of survival, acceptance and adaptation. The story begins in a small family zoo in Pondicherry, India, where the boy christened Piscine is raised. Piscine translates from French to English as "swimming pool," but in an India where many more speak English than French, his playmates of course nickname him "pee." Determined to put an end to this, he adopts the name "Pi," demonstrating an uncanny ability to write down that mathematical constant that begins with 3.14 and never ends. The zoo goes broke, and Pi's father puts his family and a few valuable animals on a ship bound for Canada. In a bruising series of falls, a zebra, an orangutan, a hyena and the lion tumble into the boat with the boy, and are swept away by high seas. His family is never seen again, and the last we see of the ship is its lights disappearing into the deep — a haunting shot. This is a hazardous situation for the boy (Suraj Sharma), because the film steadfastly refuses to sentimentalize...
