...Now for the sake of argument, suppose this is back in the 1800s - before long distance or radio communication. You are the operator of a junction and you hear a train coming. You have no idea which way it will go. You stop the train to ask the captain which direction he wants. And then you set the switch appropriately. Trains are heavy and have a lot of inertia. So they take forever to start up and slow down. Is there a better way? You guess which direction the train will go! If you guessed right, it continues on. If you guessed wrong, the captain will stop, back up, and yell at you to flip the switch. Then it can restart down the other path. If you guess right every time, the train will never have to stop. If you guess wrong too often, the train will spend a lot of time stopping, backing up, and restarting. Consider an if-statement: At the processor level, it is a branch instruction: You are a processor and you see a branch. You have no idea which way it will go. What do you do? You halt execution and wait until the previous instructions are complete. Then you continue down the correct path. Modern processors are complicated and have long pipelines. So they take forever to "warm up" and "slow down". Is there a better way? You guess which direction the branch will go! If you guessed right, you continue executing. If you guessed wrong, you need to flush the pipeline and roll back to the branch. Then you can restart down the other path. If you...

...and female members. Regardless of what view you take gender as, it ultimately leads to relations in the male and female category. One major subject of gender is gender roles, which basically means how males and females should speak, think, dress and act within the context of society and can be linked to gender stereotyping (also a topic of discussion). It is apparent in most if not all cultures, but the “role” itself varies from one culture to another. A major gateway for this is through the media. In the United States, children’s cartoons are a prime example. Of the plethora of cartoons available for discussion, four highly popular ones, current and old, will take priority: Dora the Explorer, Spongebob Squarepants, Rugrats, and the Scooby Doo series. First to be discussed is the extremely popular, Dora the Explorer. The show can be considered a global phenomenon being dubbed in over twenty different languages, so it has a large fan base amongst the varying cultures around the world. Now, on to the topic of gender in regards to the show, the show itself is not necessarily targeted solely towards young females/girls. In fact, the show is highly popular amongst young males/boys as well. This is mainly due to the fact that Dora isn’t your typical “girl” in the sense of gender roles, which she is more or less considered a tomboy. Dora wears a t-shirt, shorts, and tennis shoes and carries a backpack; she also has short hair. Also, the context of the show helps lean interest and...

...DISCUSSION ONE: What are some examples of the physical and cognitive changes people go through when they enter late adult hood? a) Being that I am only 26 years old I have not experienced any of those life changing experience yet how ever what I can do is explain and describe that I have observed with my fellow co-wokers since I am the youngest person there. Like any person I do get curious what really qualifies you as a senior citizen, some of my fellow co-workers say when you hit 60 to 63 because that is when it all starts to go. When they stopped laughing I did notice a change of apperence in the sence of when they were telling me the things they use to do two, to three years ago and know they can not or even do it a bit slower, also in body weight. One of the things that I have noticed in my observation was that most men had complaints about hair loss and the further they get into there later adult hood the color there hair changes now some change to a whte color and some tuen to this violet white color it is what I have noticed. Unfortunatly my dad is one of those who lose there hair as they get older, at this point I fear for my hair and try to take care of it as best aas I can by not wearing hats and but shampoo that is pro hair growth.(Witt&Mossler,2010, health and Physical Development, page6.

...knowledge or plot lines are carried on to the next cartoon.) However, the locations are often wildly different. With each new short, Bugs Bunny might be in the Wild West, in the midsts of a Wagnerian opera-land, or in outer space. Using for reference the last three episodes you have viewed from your chosen tv series, do the characters change and grow, or do they stay the same between episodes? Are there reoccurring locations, or is there a new setting for the show each week? If your show is different in these ways from Golden Age cartoons, why do you think that is? In the last three episodes of my tv show, Scooby-Doo, the characters don’t change or grow in their characters but they do become more eager and impatient in finding more mysteries and getting them solved. For example, in one of the episodes Velma, Daphne, Fred, Shaggy and Scooby-Doo are all sitting around Fred’s house bored and ready for another mystery to land in their hands. Velma says “I’m so bored, we haven’t had a good mystery in I don’t know when.” This is usually the case in most episodes. The gang is anxiously waiting for another mystery to solve when one comes straight into their hands. In these episodes each mystery is occurring in different locations. One is occurring in Gatorsburg, the second in their hometown, and another on the beach. I don’t think the show I’m watching is that much different than ones from the Golden Age because they both have a somewhat violent context to the episodes. Some...

...“Ladies and Gentleman, Garfield and Friends. Friends are there to help you get started, to give you a push on your way. Friends are there turn you around, get your feet on the ground for a brand new dayyyyy….”, if your small tube television never sung this tune, or any other tune that opened up for an animated series, in the morning during breakfast, then I must say I’m quite sorry for you since you basically missed out on one of the best things of childhood: animated cartoons. Except for anything on PBS KIDS, the big and mean adults always criticized the early animated cartoons deeming them as “not educational” and that they “ruin the minds of kids” but that can be contradicted with today’s animations. When South Park was first broadcasted on television, I thought the running gag of the show was “ OMG (shortened for those know text language), they just killed Kenny!” Let me tell you how Lil’ Johnny corrected my thought when his incident became the number gossip in elementary school. It’s just one in the afternoon and everybody’s in their assigned seats acting like pure angels except for Johnny whose lately been given an attitude to everybody. The poor teacher’s frustrated face and expressions can be easily compared to my mom’s when I stayed up past twelve. Time out seemed like the most lenient punishment for this disobeying buckaroo. The problem being was Johnny didn’t cooperate so the only option left was the principal’s office. Johnny-once again- refused and called the teacher...

...Kya Davis 10/25/2015 Ms. D. Moore Chapter 13 Essay Do you like blues, jazz, gospel, and pop music? Those are all types of different soul music. Many songs and artist we know today have introduced us to this what we called soul music. In this paper I will talk about the some artist that has made an impact in today’s music and not only that, how African American music has affected history of our heritage. Soul music is gospel-influenced African American popular music style that began to emerge in the late 1950s and became popular during the 1960s. (Maultsby, 277) There were many artist back in the day that made soul music very influential Ray Charles and James Brown was known for the similarity of having a black gospel back ground then transforming their sound into blues that lead to the sound of “soul music”. When the artist Sam Cook released a song call “A Change Is Gonna Come” it had a huge impact on the society because this was the time around the Civil Rights Movement. The Civil Rights Movement is a movement beginning in the late 1940s and blossoming in the late 1950s to the mid-1960s that pushed for equal rights for African Americans. (Maultsby, 277) In the year of 1964 when Cooks song came out he had died and there was a signing of the Civil Rights Act. Many people thought the song “A Change Is Gonna Come” had marked from rhythm and blues to soul. This songs is known as a gospel style. By just these three men singing the types of songs that were passionate...

...set to investigate incidents in Korean history, all the way back from annexation of Korea by Japan in 1910, up to the election of Kim Young-Sam in 1993. South Korea has been subject to a period of military dictatorships, during which there was given little attention to truth-funding. Also, South Korea’s fight for democracy spans out on a long period of civil movements and demonstrations. They often led to uprisings, which were often repressed hard by authoritarian and military power. Demonstrations, like the Kwangju Uprising in 1980, were subject to murder, torture and other abuses of human right. These acts were often covered up and ignored by the government. However, the prosecution and sentencing of two former authoritarian rulers, Chun Doo-Hwan and Rho Tae-Woo in 1995, was a clear sign that times were changing and even successful coups can be punished. At the end of the 90s, laws for rectifying the past were established under the government of Kim Dae-Jung. The Truth & Reconciliation Commission would go stay active until 2010, when the conservative Lee Myung-Bak stopped the funding. What led to this sudden governmental interest in truth and reconciliation under the Kim Dae-Jung government? In this literature review we will look at the factors that instigated interest in South Korea for having truth and reconciliation commissions. Two articles will be used from the Critical Asian Studies journal. In ‘’The Long Road Toward Truth and Reconciliation’’ Kim Dong-Choon writes...

...Always intertwined with current events and signs of the times, music has long been a telling relation with the society from which it is created. At any point in history, one can usually look to the music of that time to reflect what is going on in the world. This holds especially true for the Civil Rights era in the United States. In Lou Reed’s song “Walk on the Wild Side,” he sings the following at the chorus: “Said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side And the colored girls go Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo” (Lou Reed, 1972, Side A). These are the lyrics can be heard in Morgan Neville’s documentary “20 Feet from Stardom” (Leight, 2013). This sets the tone for the rest of the documentary– an exploration...
