...We have observed the night sky since the birth of humans. The curiosity of what is beyond the infinite sky grew until space exploration was brought to mind. The amazement of space distracts us from the issues of cost. To pay for space exploration every citizen must be taxed but with the money we are able to observe the beauty of earth from a different perspective. The power of earth’s beauty can help us comprehend that we should treat our earth with care. We do not realize that although space differs from earth it still contains the mysteries and varieties of illnesses. Before developing an opinion towards space exploration governments should consider the costs, a positive change to earth, and contamination of illnesses. Money defines the type of life a person lives. Whether they live with ease or with the discomfort from lacking money humans value the importance of a dollar. They budget their money to the point where each taxed dollar causes them annoyance. As Source C describes, each tax dollar must be split for various programs. Each program is in need of a vast amount of money but each citizen is also in need of money. With the issue of an unstable economy, families struggle to live day in and day out. At times, the issue of money causes avoidance to the health of earth. Earth has not been appreciated as it should be. We live for the benefits for ourselves without thinking of the harm it does to the world we live in. According to Source G, we create problems that affect...

The law relating to civil wrongs and quasi-contracts is part of the civil law. “Civil law deals with the disputes between a person, organizations, or between the two, in which compensation is awarded to the victim. The main purpose of the civil law is to compensate individuals who have suffered loss or injury by the wrongful actions of other person. Civil law is different from criminal law, because it emphasises more upon punishment than on dispute resolution. (Glanville Williams,1982) The essence of the distinction of criminal and...

...Explore Activity 2 Local Access and Transport Areas – Local Access and Transport Area is a U.S. term that refers to a geographic region assigned to one or more telephone companies for providing communication services. A connection between two telephone companies within the same region is referred to as intraLATA. A connection between two local exchange carriers in different regions is called interLATA, which is the same as long-distance service. Long Distance – Calling anywhere out of your local area or zip code area that you live in can be long distance calling. Although land lines only bill to the person starting the call, Cell phone carriers bill both the person calling and the person receiving the call. This is why many people don’t do long distance calling because the other person may not want to receive the charge for the call. Local Loop – In telephony, a local loop is the wired connection from a telephone company's central office in a locality to its customers' telephones at homes and businesses. This connection is usually on a pair of copper wires called twisted pair. The system was originally designed for voice transmission only using analog transmission technology on a single voice channel. Today, your computer's modem makes the conversion between analog signals and digital signals Data Over Telephone Lines – Telephone was originally invented to transfer voice. However, now you can transmit data over the telephone. The fixed-line telephone is on analog systems capable...

...Flowcharting is a tool for analysing processes. It allows you to break any process down into individual events or activities and to display these in shorthand form showing the logical relationships between them. Constructing flowcharts promotes better understanding of processes, and better understanding of processes is a pre-requisite for improvement. The Flowchart Symbols and Their Usage Process represents a step in your process. Predefined process indicates a set of steps that combine to create a sub-process that is defined elsewhere, often on another page of the same drawing. Decision indicates a point where the outcome of a decision dictates the next step. There can be multiple outcomes, but often there are just two - yes and no. Terminal points indicates the starting and ending points of a process. Data shape indicates that information is coming into the process from outside, or leaving the process. Delay shape represents a waiting period where no activity is done. In Process Mapping, delays are often important as they may result in adding to the cost of the product or simply delaying its production. Database shape: Use this shape for a step that results in information being stored. Step represents a single step within a process, and usually contains the name of a specific action. Page symbols refer to individual web pages, which may or may not contain multiple elements. File symbols represent those data elements that exist independently of navigational...

...“Explore the ideas of Karl Marx, discussing his theories and views toward capitalism. Discuss how these matters compare to modern day economic conditions, and consider the ethical and sustainability matters that are raised for today's managers.” Karl Marx; an economist, sociologist, revolutionary and historian, whose theories continue to influence economic thought for managers today. Karl Heinrich Marx (May 5,1818 – March 14, 1883) put forth many theories with regards to economics, politics and society that established the base on which Marxism was formed. His critique of the philosophies of other theorists and critical analysis of capitalism has influenced economic perception, and contributed largely toward the current understanding of capital and labour and the relationship that exists. In Karl Marx’s criticism of capitalism, he discussed many social matters such as ‘alienation’, the dominance by the ‘bourgeoisie’ over the ‘proletariat’; issues with regard to labour, such as the de-skilling and dehumanisation of workers as technological advances came about and capitalists strived to maximise ‘surplus value’ through the ‘exploitation’ of human labour. Although times have changed and this type of work environment is not as common, it is still an ever present situation in places such as China and India where cheap labour is employed to maximise the return for those in ‘control’. Advancements in technology continue, to the extent where the duties of workers can be performed...

Configuring BIND- the first thing to configure is /ect/bind/named.conf. The first part of this step is specifying binds root directory, the listing port with IP’s, the pid file, and line for IPv6 protocol. The second part of named.conf is the internal view used for our local network. The third part of named.conf is the external view used to resolve our domain name for the rest of the world and to resolve all other domain names for us( and anyone who wants to use our DNS server). The final part of named.conf is the logging policy. The /var/log/named/ directory mustbe exist and belong to named: BIND history – BIND was originally written at University of California at Berkeley (UCB) as a graduate student project under a grant from the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Administration (DARPA). The acronym BIND originally stood for Berkeley Internet name daemon.

...Explore the Importance of an Idea Having Value For an idea to be perceived as a good one – does it need to be completely new, or incredibly useful. Maybe it needs to be both. Are the ‘new’ ideas that people are thinking of actually just revitalised versions of an already existing idea? Or do people not have enough experience in the field of ‘creative thinking’ and give up too easy? It is inevitable that people perceive creativity in different ways, but this essay will explore and discuss the debate of ideas, the process of ideas, and the importance of ideas obtaining worth and reasoning. Some people believe that for an idea to be a good one, it needs to have value. Speaking in a video titled “Edward De Bono on Creative Thinking”, De Bono states that he believes an idea with no value is “just being different for the sake of being different”, which he thinks is what gives creativity a bad name. He uses the example of creating a ‘triangular door’, despite the fact that doors are always rectangular. He states that if you cannot prove the value of this idea, then this is just being different for the sake of it, which he does not deem as creativity (2006). This shows that whilst De Bono supports this idea of creativity, he believes ideas should be not only new, but also useful. Expanding on an idea with no true reason is not something he believes is necessary. Robinson also agrees with this notion, stating, “Creativity is the process of having original ideas that have value. It is...

...The aim of this essay is to show how the three performances in dance, music and drama were influenced by Brecht, Lea Anderson and the various artists involved with the musical genre of minimalism. This essay will also describe the process the ensemble went through while devising and rehearsing the performance as well as the similarities between the art forms, such as the significance of characterisation within dance and drama when portraying stereotypical characters. Devising For drama, the practitioner the ensemble studied was Berthold Brecht, an early 20th century German theatre practitioner who pioneered the theatrical movement of Epic theatre. Brecht is of particular interest given the similarities in subject matter, as the groups subject is about the detention facility Guantanamo Bay; thematically similar to Brecht’s work which also dealt with topics involving the abuse of power, institutional corruption, the effects of war etc. The ensemble initially did a great deal of research into Epic theatre and the techniques of Epic theatre as well as Berthold Brecht and his life. Following that, they then made a mind map of the problems surrounding Guantanamo and focused particularly on the issues that garnered the least attention publically yet posed the greatest threat to the liberty and rights of everyone. Based on this we chose the unlawful kidnaping, imprisonment and torture of individuals without trial, the implementation of secret courts, and the propaganda published by...

...Explore the relationship between Amir and Baba. Throughout the novel The Kite Runner, the relationship between Amir and Baba has many ups and downs, the reader sees it broaden as Amir grows older and it is clear that deep down their relationship is strong. Amir tells the reader during his dream that he ‘can never tell Baba from the bear.’ This gives the impression that Baba is strong and rugged in appearance. It is important that the reader knows that Baba is the narrator’s father; due to the unconditional love we expect between father and son, Amir’s opinion may well be biased. Indirectly, the reader can make an opinion on Baba, and his relationship with Amir, through his speech and actions as described by Amir. The reader is told that ‘Baba heaved a sigh of impatience.’ This shows that Baba, unlike most fatherly figures has very little patience with Amir and even the smallest things that Amir does seems to get on his nerves. Hosseini suggests that Amir is some what intimidated by Baba from the quotation ‘My father was a force of nature, a towering Pashtun specimen with a thick beard, a wayward crop of curly brown hair as unruly as the man himself,’ The metaphor ‘My father was a force of nature’ suggests an essence of fear; the character of Baba is not to be reckoned with. The reader is presented with imagery of a storm at sea or a hurricane as Rahim Khan Nicknames Baba. This could suggest an element of incomparable strength, recklessness and perhaps the tendency of storms...

...Part 1 Explore Freedom of Exploration and Ethical Responsibility Exploring the website http://www.chem.vt.edu/chem-ed/ethics/ I read several articles including Ethics in Science which was adapted from lectures given by Professor Henry Bauer in the Chemistry Department at Virginia Tech. This essay discusses scientific misconduct and a more dependable model than the scientific method. It opens with many examples of misconduct from major universities to Nobel Prize winners. It is eye-opening to see how prevalent scientific misconduct has become and makes one ponder just what are the pros and cons of such misconduct. Figure 1 | Bauer states that the key to understanding the reliability or lack thereof science is the realization that science is done by human beings. He believes that how these scientists interact with one another is crucial. He believes that scientific knowledge is accumulated through a “knowledge filter” as in figure 1. The top where it is most broad contains any all human traits. Rather competent or not, lazy or hard-working, careful or sloppy, everything is thrown in the original mix. Most of the nonsense gets filtered out through undergraduate and graduate studies in science.The next filter we must ask “What will others think?” There is always someone reviewing one’s work who will determine worthiness for publication, grants, graduation, promotions or employment. As the filtering process continues, most of the dishonesty is removed before reaching primary literature...

...Explore the ways in which characters are isolated or lonely on the ranch. John Steinbeck’s ‘Of Mice and Men’ portrays several characters as isolated or lonely whilst living on a ranch. By portraying the characters in ‘Of Mice and Men’ lonely, loneliness would affect their personalities such as how they think and how they behave giving more reasons to think they are all somewhat isolated even though they all live in a large group. In Crooks case, loneliness has made him a very bitter individual; he is treated differently compared to the other workers on the ranch mainly because of his race but also because of his low status job. Other workers can’t relate to him unless he is working because he is black. Crooks emotions are displayed towards the audience when he has a conversation with Lennie in his room, he talks about how he has no one to talk to and no one to relate to, and he talks to Lennie about George and says “S’pose you didn’t have nobody S'pose you couldn't go into the bunk house and play rummy `cuase you was black...A guy needs somebody--to be near him” this may suggest that Crooks doesn’t have anyone to have a general conversation with whether or not it was an animal, family or friend. He mentions this to Lennie to give him the idea of what it is like to feel isolated and have no one to talk to. He tells Lennie this based on his own experience and by having no one talking to him and treating him differently eventually making him feel lonely, which was the inevitable...

...Explore the presentation of Myrtle, Daisy and Cecilia Myrtle is presented as a woman that is made to look a little bit cheap, and a woman who is from a lower class to those of Daisy, Tom and Gatsby. We can see this clearly as she lives in the valley of ashes. This is almost an automatic contrast to Daisy who lives in West egg. As an egg has just been born, and is full of a future, whereas ashes are something that remains from a thing that used to live, but will never be anything again. Something that Daisy, Myrtle and Cecilia all have in common is that they’re all materialistic. Daisy is won over by a pearl necklace, Myrtle overcrowds her apartment with “tapestries furniture” and Cecilia “switches dresses three times before going down to dinner”. However this also presents them as materialistic in three different ways. Daisy is a woman in the 1920’s who has been given more rights; however she doesn't know what to do with them. She still feels as if she needs protection, and looking after, which is why she chose Tom over Jay Gatsby. Myrtle just wants affection. She looks for love in objects because she wants to feel that love. This is why she is seen to be so happy when Tom gets her a dog – which is nothing compared to daisy’s pearls, however is a symbol of a rich man’s love to her. Cecilia put her money into her clothes because her appearance is everything. She goes to college and comes back to amount to nothing, moping and smoking round the house. And so she chooses her dresses...
