Reaction paper (El Presidente 2012)

“El Presidente” movie brought into life the story of the first president of the Republic of the Philippines, Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo. It is not a film for all Filipinos but only for those who have high regard to Philippine Independence. If you are Andres Bonifacio fanatic, this is not for you. Members of the Bonifacio clan might be of total outrage right now for the film has put Bonifacio in somewhat a ‘bad light.
Directed by Mark Meily, “El Presidente” offers a beautiful journey back to history with great action scenes and cinematography. The lines, in Filipino, Spanish, and English are well-thought. Casting big names in Philippine showbiz like Cesar Montano, Christopher De Leon, Allan Paule, Sid Lucero, and Joko Diaz, among others was a good move as they portrayed their roles excellently. Montano‘s portrayal as Bonifacio is believable and is deserving of his Metro Manila Film Festival Best Supporting Actor award though those who have watched him portrayed Jose Rizal might have a hard time picturing him as Bonifacio. Having comedian Bayani Agbayani in the cast is okay, just that his mustache looks funny. The same goes with the other cast who wear funny looking mustaches.
The lead actor, George ‘E.R Ejercito’ Estregan, Jr., portrayed Aguinaldo’s character very well though it is hard to believe that it was really him portraying the lead for the film he produced. There’s nothing wrong with that if it’s just for the sake of arts or even if it involves commercial agenda, but not with Estregan’s being a politician. His exposure in this film, portraying the role of a hero is worse than those ‘Epal’ politicians people condemn for having their faces and names printed on large tarpaulins in public places, and in moving vehicles. Even worse than those who place their names as if it’s the brand of the canned goods and noodles being

Creationmyths

...Cosmic Creation Myths Across Cultures Darrell Jones HUM/105 June 20, 2012 Mary Worley Cosmic Creation Myths across Cultures Myths vary a great deal from various cultures around the world. Although these myths differ, they all share one same common theme – a story based on creation. Myths from the Roman/Greek and Nordic cultures are no different. Both of these cultures believed in some form of creation that defined and shaped their world through cosmic occurrences or natural phenomenon, while sharing similarities and differences in the creators of the worlds and the steps these worlds were created. Roman/Greek gods lived in various worlds. This mythological world was born out of emptiness, or Chaos. The gods themselves lived on Mount Olympus. Uranus, Father Sky, ruled over all worlds with Gaea, Mother Earth, by his side. Tartarus ruled the deepest part of the underworld. Their son, Cronus, and their grandson, Zeus, both take turns ruling over the worlds after Uranus. Two of Uranus and Gaea’s other children were gods of other worldly elements: Helios, god of sun; and Selene, god of Moon. Cronus and Rhea produced the second generation of gods who ruled over other elements, including: Zeus, lord of the sky and god of thunder; Poseidon, lord of the seas; and Hades, ruler of the underworld and lord of the dead. Individuals who believed in Roman/Greek mythology believed these gods shaped their world and ruled over the elements. A titan named Atlas was condemned by Zeus to...

What Is Odin's Role In Greek Mythology

...Despite having the exact same ratio of god to giant “blood” running through him as the rest of the gods in Asgard, he is not of equal status to any of them. Loki himself fathers three monster creatures, the “Midgard serpent, the wolf Fenrir, and Hel.” While he maintains an allegiance with the Aesir gods during some of the time prior to Ragnarok, somehow in the mythic future of Norse mythology, he aligns himself with the monsters. According to John Lindow, Loki was “the enemy of the gods in the far mythic past… and reverts to this status as mythic future approaches and arrives,” with a particularly ambiguous mythic present.

A Comparative Study of Cognitive Radio Platforms

...A Comparative Study of Cognitive Radio Platforms Moshe Timothy Masonta CSIR Meraka and TUT P.O. Box 395 Pretoria 0001, South Africa Mjumo Mzyece Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) Pretoria, South Africa Fisseha Mekuria Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) Pretoria 0001, South Africa mmasonta@csir.co.za mzyecem@tut.ac.za fmekuria@csir.co.za ABSTRACT Cognitive radio (CR) technology has become one of the buzzwords within the wireless communications community over the past 12 years. Its ability to learn, decide and adapt to the external environment made CR attractive to regulators, researchers, academia, politicians and the industry. CR promises to bring a paradigm shift in spectrum management policies from command-and-control regime to dynamic and opportunistic spectrum access. Despite more than a decade of research in the CR area, there are too little CR systems ready for the market. This lack of ready CR systems may reflect an overemphasis in the CR literature on theory and simulations with less work done in experimental-basedresearch and publications. In order to fast-track the real-life deployments of CR systems, the research community is now focusing on the development of CR platforms. With different software defined radio (SDR) packages and hardware available, it is confusing to decide which one to build or use. The objective of this paper is to study the design of CR platforms making use available SDR software packages and hardware...

Similarities Between Vikings And Greek Gods

...1. Vikings believed in many gods (and goddesses). They were all similar to humans but were of great importance. They all had different features and different flaws. The gods of the north, or Norse gods, looked like ordinary people. They had many similarities with people. They had powers and weren’t eternal but they lived for a very long time. They lived in a place called Asgard which was located in the sky in which they lived in palaces made of silver and gold. Odin (king of gods) lived in Valhalla were warriors killed in war went. Some days of the week were named after gods. All the myths about the gods were passed down through stories and children. The Vikings worshiped their gods outside in nature, they picked natural landmarks (like waterfalls or rare trees)....

Nordic Religion

...a division branched from Germanic paganism, which was present amongst the Germanic tribes inhabited across Central and Northern Europe. Nordic Religion is a polytheistic religion through its principal beliefs in numerous pagan gods, and supernatural forces. Also, their viewpoint associated with origins, the afterlife and the ‘Yggdrasil’ forms a framework for the ancient religion which identifies the principle beliefs held amongst the Norsemen. One of the principal beliefs in the Nordic Religion is the ‘world tree’ or ‘Yggdrasil’, which is the centre of their universe which held nine different realms within its branches. Each realm is situated at different areas of the tree and is carried by three main roots. The first, top root went to Asgard (heaven) which is the home Gods dwell in. The second root went down to Jotunheim, located in the middle where Middle-Earth is situated within (land of mortals), also belonging to dwarves and giants. The last root went down to Niflheim and Musepellheim, located at the bottom that reaches into the underworld Hel, ‘home’ of the dead who are forever perished and tormented. Thus Yggdrasil is a principal belief as it held together earth, heaven and hell by its roots and is the place dependent of numerous gods that are paramount beliefs to the Nordic religion. Furthermore, the Ancient Nordic Religion is a polytheistic religion meaning its beliefs in various pagan gods. They followed many gods and this belief was pursued through idolatrous sacrifice...

Norse Mythology

...gods. The way people see rainbows is still magical, the rainbow is often seen as a symbol for hope. Like English poet Lord Byron said “The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.” (George Gordon “Lord” Byron.) Even if stories about rainbows are different around the world they all have some elements in common. Rainbows have always been an important topic in the mythology because rainbows have something "magical" and extraordinary. The most famous rainbow myths come straight from Europe. In the Norse mythology the rainbow symbolises the Bifrost, the bridge that connects Asgard and Midgard. The bifrost is the only way to Midgard and is guard by Heimdall. The Norse believed that the color of the rainbow referred to the fire (red), air (blue), and water (green) the bridge was made of. The fire serves as protection against the entry of the giants to Asgard. The Valkyries also use the Bifrost to carry dead Norse heroes to Valhalla. In the Irish folk tale the Pot O’ Gold; at the end of every rainbow you can find a pot of gold guarded by a leprechaun. Not only gold can be found there, also all the treasures belonging to the feries. The leprechaun that guards that amazing treasure is not harmful but will do anything to protect his money. Even if the pot of gold is really tempting you should always follow this following popular Irish citation, “don’t miss all the beautiful colors of the rainbow looking for that pot of gold” (Irish Citation.) In the Greek mythology...
