...Aloysius – Her dilemma was the challenge she faced when going against those in authority within the Catholic Faith. She knew that going up against Father Flynn with such an accusation would not be easily accepted by those in authority and it would be dismissed or “swept under the rug” so to speak. During the 1960’s the Catholic Church and its leaders were held in such high esteem, Nuns were not allowed to question the acts or views of their superiors. Therefore, she felt so strongly that Father Flynn was guilty and was determined to have him removed for the protection of the children and the church/school by any means necessary. She choose to pursue what she felt was the right thing to do, even if it meant doing wrong in the process. Sis James – Her dilemma was choosing between standing for what she believed in her heart to be right or allowing her judgment to be clouded by Sis Aloysius views. James also believed in establishing a relationship with her students in order to better understand their needs. Her worldview was an innocent and naive view of people. She chose to stand for her own convictions. Father Flynn – Flynn was faced with the dilemma of standing up against the accusations against Sis Aloysius accusations against him or bowing out. He knew there was no concrete evidence that she had against him, but did not want to take the chance of having this whole thing blow up in his face. He also had his reputation and the school’s reputation to consider, especially...

...Nathaniel Smith Professor Lobaina Bible 105 – B02 9/7/15 Biblical Worldview Essay Worldviews are a very important part of society. They define what we believe and act as a filter for the way that we see the world. As Christians our worldview has always and will always be criticized, but it is important that we define our worldview so when it is questioned we can stand up and speak what we believe. I believe that our worldview is defined by four major categories that are as follows: the natural world, human identity, human relationships, and civilization. As Christians our worldview starts with Genesis 1:1 “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” This verse is the basis for what we believe about the natural world. In continuing reading our worldview of the natural world grows in seeing that God created the earth and everything in it in seven days. When you tear down the basis of the natural world we see many different worldviews amongst people and scientist. Scientists have the Theory of Evolution and the Big Bang Theory and we as Christians have the Theory of Creation. These theories are all worldviews of different faiths and religions. Our faith is the main basis of our worldview without it we lose sight of who we are and our identity in Christ. In looking further our worldview of the natural world gets deeper as we see differences in things such as intelligent design. Overall the biblical worldview of the natural world is this: God created everything...

...I bought a book from crossword; he packed the book and added two bookmarks into my pack. A thought came to my mind. Why do I need a bookmark? I can easily memorize the page number and the next time resume from the same page when I resume reading, or read them all over to reach to the point where I stopped reading. But not all have a blessed memory; moreover, there are better things to remember, my grandpa would rather bookmark and rely on it to help him resume reading. It’s a kind of simple index, isn’t it? This article focuses on how MS SQL Server uses indexes to read and write data. Data is arranged by SQL Server in the form of extents and pages. Each extent is of size 64 KB, having 8 pages of 8KB sizes. An extent may have data from multiple or same table, but each page holds data from a single table only. Logically, data is stored in record sets in the table. We have fields (columns) identifying the type of data contained in each of the record sets. A table is nothing but a collection of record sets; by default, rows are stored in the form of heaps unless a clustered index has been defined on the table, in which case, record sets are sorted and stored on the clustered index. The heaps structure is a simple arrangement where the inserted record is stored in the next available space on the table page. Heaps seem a great option when the motive is simply storing data, but when data retrieval steps in, this option back fires. An index acts as a fire fighter in this scenario. Indexes...

...UNDERSTANDING THE RELATIONAL DATABASES Student’s Name Instructor’s Name Course Name 03/05/2016 RELATIONAL DATABASES Being a data administrator is to handle and organize the bulk of data masses for easy and convenient retrieval of the information at any point of time. I generally believe that compiling a bulk of data is very difficult task for anyone who has the responsibility to manage the information. Therefore, here we go through and understand the concept of relational databases and use of tables designed to manage the data for the problem cases in our daily life. A relational database is a defined group of data items systematized and controlled as a set of formally defined tables from which the collected and unmanageable data can be reassembled or accessed in various different techniques deprived of having to restructure the pre-arranged database tables (Rouse, n.d.). According to Codd (1982), “Relational processing entails treating whole relationships as operands. Its primary purpose is loop-avoidance, an absolute requirement for end users to be productive at all, and a clear productivity booster for application programmers” (p.298). It comprises of designed data tables that are connected together in some important way. For instance, consider an organization that offers items to clients. The organization keeps up a database of the items it offers. Every item has a one of a kind code so it can be uniquely recognized. The item database comprises of a table, and each...

...the perceptions of those behaviors. Think of the study of conflict as a view through a lens, like the lens of a camera, or through prescription glasses. The lens model of conflict specifies that each person has a view of (1) oneself, (2) the other person, and (3) the relationship. These perceptual pieces form the fundamental views of all conflicts, and combined together they form the mosaic of a particular conflict (Wilmot & Hocker 2010). There are also minimal features of all conflicts. They are: (1)the communicative acts or behaviors of each person, (2)the meanings or attributions attached to those acts by each person, which are each person’s view of self and each person’s views of the other, and (3)the meanings or attributions the two people ascribe to their relationship, which include past events, current events, and future projections. Each person also has a lens that gives that person a particular perspective, just as people use different types of glasses to see. There are multiple views of conflict, yet each looks real to the one seeing it (Wilmot & Hocker 2010). In a conflict, each person will have their own view of the situation at hand and react differently. As the old saying says, there are two sides to every story. For example, let’s say you have a couple that gets into an argument or should I say, a conflict, about their child spilling juice on the living room carpet. The mother may view it as being a simple mistake and can easily be cleaned, whereas the father...

Then selecting an image in the listbox underneath. We may now specify the Image source in the Current image panel. In case the popup menu does not offer a relevant option, we may specify an alternative source of the image by choosing the option ‘other’. After pressing the annotate button on the New Annotation panel the tool will switch to annotation mode where only image labelling using the mouse is allowed. Annotate by pressing the left mouse button and clicking in the image area. Pressing the right mouse button will finish the object labelling and will close the polygon. (See fig. 2.3). If we press the Annotate button now, the previous label will be erased and we may label the object again. Pressing the right mouse button without having labelled anything will just cancel the annotation mode. The zoom feature will ease the annotation of smaller objects.

...However, by changing how people view and practice teleology, nature culture dichotomy, worldview, culture, and sense of place then these concepts can be used to help solve human-environmental problems. Even though all of these concepts can be connected on a cultural level, they can be broken apart on an individual level. For example, not everyone believes in nature culture dichotomy, for that is a Western thought, also people may have a different sense of place from each other due to where they have been and who they have experienced that place with. When it comes to teleology, there are some people who view nature and see the purpose for a tree is to grow and be able to provide food, shelter, oxygen, and to just live. A tree can already have many purposes, some that even benefit humanity, without the need to cut down the tree to be made into paper or other consumer products. We cannot make the assumption that nature and place has the same meaning for everyone. I do hope that at some point, despite the fact that everyone does view nature in a different way, that we are able to make environmental improvements to better the...

...developer versions of the Oculus Rift so game studios could start making games, raising $2.4 million. In the months since, Oculus VR has raised additional money and shipped tens of thousands of developer versions of the Rift, while continuing to perfect a consumer model. But what is a virtual reality headset anyway? Two things. Firstly, 3D visuals – just as your eyes perceive the real world. This is more than simple cross-eyed viewing though, and involves a complex series of transformations to wrap the view around and produce large field of vision – 110 degrees in the Rift, in fact. Secondly – and this is where the Oculus really becomes something amazing –head tracking - so that when you move your head to look up, your view of the virtual world adjusts accordingly. You can look around with a full 360 degree of freedom, including right behind you. It is designed specifically for video games that will change the way you think about gaming forever. With an incredibly wide field of view, high resolution display, and ultra-low latency head tracking, the Rift provides a truly immersive experience that allows you to step inside your favorite game and explore new worlds like never before. What’s special about the Rift is that it can deliver nearly the same level of immersion as existing commercial setups costing orders of magnitude more, but at a price that makes it available, if not to the average consumer, at least to the average consumer who would already have the kind of computing...

The question is not whether one has a worldview, but which worldview one has. This article shows the biblical worldviews in the modern world. Modern worldviews have their roots in the kingdoms of the darkness. These views have a high potential of totally destroying us. The social issue that we will discuss is abortion Coming up with a biblical worldview on abortion includes reading the Bible and talking with a pastor about the Christian stance on this matter. God wishes that all life is blessed and honored. This is because He created it all. Making personal decisions on the choice whether...

A detailed view of a person or object, usually without much context provided. Continuity. The kind of logic implied in the association of ideas between edited shots. "Cutting to continuity" emphasizes smooth transitions between shots, in which space and time are unobtrusively condensed. "Classical cutting" emphasizes dramatic or emotional logic between shots rather than one based strictly on considerations of time and space. In "thematic montage" the continuity is based entirely on ideas, irrespective of literal time and space. In some instances, "continuity" refers to the space-time continuum of reality before it is photographed. Crane shot. A shot taken from a special device called a crane, which resembles a huge mechanical arm. The crane carries the camera and cameraman, and can move in virtually any direction. Cross cutting. The alternating of shots from two sequences, often in different locales, to suggest the sequences are taking place simultaneously. Deep focus.

Having an opinion or position towards a culture and worldview is part of human nature (Ministry of Justice, 2001). As we develop, these views and positions we thought we were once in, can change and alter. In other words, as people adapt and learn, so too does their views (Houhamau, & Sibley, 2014). In this essay I will be describing my worldview and cultural positioning of when I was growing up and contrasting this to how I feel now. I will also discuss this in relation to things Māori and who changed or influenced these views. I will finally critically analyse my relationship of tangata whenua. My mihimihi does not just describe who I am and here I come from. It describes my identity, my own conception and expression of myself and my affiliations both culturally and physically. My mihimihi establishes the links I share and have. As a Māori, sharing my whakapapa it is about knowing yourself and knowing one’s identity (Korero Maori, n.d.).

...Obtaining a University Degree is Extremely Important In my essay, I argue that in my world view obtaining a university degree is extremely important. I will define the term “World View” according to Hobson, Samovar and Porter. I will also discuss the factors that have influenced my world view of education and learning such as a vast experience of financial services experience in the UK and Australia, and more recent journey into the social business media space. I will also touch on what is important to me in my worldview and why these factors have ignited my ambition in acquiring a university degree. Samovar and Porterribing, describe as Worldview as being an “overarching philosophy or conception of the world” (2004, 1) and Hobson supports this by defining it as “a set of beliefs that we hold through which we organise our understanding of ourselves and our understanding of others” (1996, 2). Both agree that it influences a person's perceptions, beliefs, and values. We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world. Gautama Siddharta A worldview is the paradigm of how people translate their meaning of their world; in other words, what we make of the world is our worldview. It is something taken for granted without having proof. A worldview is like a pair of reading glasses in that if you get the right prescription, your vision will be clear. However if the prescription is wrong; it could make your eyes worse...
