...told him he didn’t know anything so Jeff went around talking to people about the situation. Eventually some other drunken guy said “Oh I remember him trying to steal my friend’s wallet the other day.” After that everything got a little chaotic! I don’t understand why, well I guess it’s from this weird global obsession of guys to have the biggest and best ego. So that I guess is one psychological theory that I don’t understand, ego… on a random note I think I figured out the reality of the universe, but that’s a whole other journal. So back to the story, after Jeff heard that, he went into this crazy rant about how John had planned this big elaborate scheme to get the girl to take his money and split it up behind his back. Even though that is an extremely illogical answer to his problem (the lost 20$) he insisted on it. What I don’t understand in even when John said I will pay you the 20$ out of my own money to get the situation dissolved, Jeff still didn’t want to do that. He just wanted to escalate the situation and fight him. I guess the Drive Theory is one of the best theories to use for this because when the random drunk guy told Jeff about John maybe stealing, he automatically assumed it happened to him and wanted to show his dominance by fighting him even when his real problem could have been...

...In August 2011, on one of the main roads that runs through Google’s headquarters in Mountain View, California, a Prius—one of the cars in Google’s fleet of autonomous vehicles—caused a fender-bender. The accident happened, naturally, because there was a human behind the wheel. That's according to a new report by Google about its self-driving car project, a document that tallies every accident since it began testing its 32 vehicles on the roads in 2009. That sounds like it could be a massive dataset, considering the tens of thousands of accidents that happen on American roadways each year. It actually isn’t: “In the six years of our project, we’ve been involved in 12 minor accidents during more than 1.8 million miles of autonomous and manual driving combined,” Google wrote. “Not once was the self-driving car the cause of the accident.” Not once! In the case of the fender bender four summers ago, a Google employee—yes, a human—was to blame. He had borrowed the car to run a quick errand and ended up rear-ending another car. (“He was not using the vehicle to test our autonomous technology,” Google wrote, and the car ended up sustaining “some damage.”) So what ended up being probably a pretty bad day for that Google employee—imagine telling your boss you crashed the driverless car—turns out to be a tidy example of the key difference between human drivers and algorithmic ones. Namely: Robots are much, much better drivers than humans. Google’s descriptions of the other accidents...

...How to build a drive through supermarket Name: Institution: How to build a drive through supermarket A drive through supermarket, also referred to as drive through, is a supermarket selling day to day ordinary things only that in this kind of the supermarket customers do not get out of their vehicles to buy products. They just drive in line into the supermarket in their cars and buy the goods they are interested in buying. This service will help all kinds of shoppers regardless of their age, disabilities and nature of the goods they are buying since they will get to do their shopping without stepping a foot out of their cars (O’Shaughnessy, 21014). Over the years, drive through supermarket operators has come up with ideas to make their services rendered as fast and efficient as possible according to Oches (2013).Building a drive through supermarket will begin with the supermarket being located in a place with a big space for several lanes for the cars to use. The lane can be dual lane or single for each direction of the flow of the cars. This is to mean that depending on which direction the customers drove from, at least finding a queue to follow will be easy. The lines need to have a sign that can be read clearly showing the direction of their line and their status i.e. whether in operation or not...

...The average women is now putting in a full eight hour plus work day and then to come home to run children to after school activities while trying to squeeze in dinner. The easy choice is to run thru the drive-thru to pick up supper and eat in the car while driving to the next stop. Due to the fact "that the way people work these days -- many out of their homes, many with different schedules -- the traditional 9-to-5 day has morphed into a 12-noon-to-midnight day," Cebrzynski says. There are also a lot of single parent homes that tend to lead to the fast food chains as well because now the use of one parent staying behind to have supper ready for the rest of the family that is on the run they have to handle the daily routine by themselves leading them to the appealing fast food, no clean up trend. The fast food trend not only affects families with both parents working or single parents but also students. Many students go to school during the day and then have to work in the evening leading to more late night fast food stops. The fast food restaurants have used a great marketing strategy to get that late night business but not have to keep up the cost of all the employees throughout the night by making it easy for these students to make that late night stop as they offer the drive-thru option that stays open late. According to ADA spokeswoman Amy Jamieson-Petonic, RD. "many attend class during the day, work an evening job, and pick up fast food when they clock out. "They're...

...14 hours and 24 mints to travel the 20 Light Years or 1.17569996 x 10^14 miles there So at this point in time even getting there is out of the question. However lets examine some of the ways that this trip might be possible. Lets say that the concept of warp drive pans out as NASA has theorized it works out. Warp drive in this case isn’t referring to warp drive as a Star Trek fan would recognize it, but rather warping-space time. Compressing it in front of the vessel and expanding it behind the vessel. While we are not yet sure if this would actually accomplish Faster Than Light travel (FTL) it would definitely accelerate any vessel to far greater speeds than we currently capable of. Then there is also Burkhard Heim’s Theory which on top of the ability to possibly unify Quantum Mechanics and the Theory of Relativity also describes within it a hyper drive engine that if it can be built would make a trip to Mars 5 hours long. Now while it may not be an FTL drive it drastically reduces the amount of time of any of our current technology holds reducing the travel time to 6,463 years 7 months 10 days 7 hours 8 minutes and 59 seconds. While drastically reducing our travel time even with the speed of Burkard Heim’s hyper drive travel to Gliese is still outside of one’s lifetime but it does...

...Deciphering Mulholland Drive Mulholland Drive is a twisted and exhilarating movie directed by David Lynch. The movies tells the story of a Canadian women, Diane Selwyn, who moves to Los Angeles to pursue a career in acting. For the most of the movie, we are thrown into a dream Diane has. In this dream many of the characters and people in her actual life are integrated into her dream with new identities. The last part of the movie we are brought back to Diane’s actual reality. Only once I was brought into Diane’s reality did I realize the importance of the fantasy. I believe Diane has realized the hard, cruel reality of Hollywood and this has caused her to have a breakdown. She has lost the love of her life to this Hollywood scene and is faced with the fact that she is a failed actress. These inner conflicts and struggles have caused her despair and ultimately her demise. David Lynch is highly praised in this movie because of his ability to mesh fantasy and reality. The fantasy part digs into Diane’s deepest desires and conflicts. A lot of the things that happen in the dream part of the movie, I feel display the way she wished things had happened, mostly with her relationship with Camille. In order to understand Mulholland Drive you must be able to distinguish between Diane’s dream and her reality. The movie starts with Diane arriving to Hollywood, she is very excited and thrilled for her new opportunity. In the fantasy Diane is introduced as Betty and is described...

...In Social Work, theories play the role of building block on which practice is established. It is important for practitioners to have an understanding of the groundwork of practice theories so that their work with clients are foundationally grounded on evidence based practice models. This allows the practitioner to have consistency among clients. In using practice theories, social workers are able to “predict and explain client behavior” and “identify knowledge gaps about practice situations” (Walsh, 2010, p.4) because the social worker is following a framework that has been tested and has proven useful with a particular type of client. However, before utilizing any theoretical framework, the social worker must understand under what environment...

...is what pushes some people to their full potential because they possess the drive and willingness to surpass their peers. They want to excel over everyone else. If a person is motivated to be number one they can become big wigs in a company or even own a business. 2. Theorists vary on why we experience emotions. Discuss at least two different theories related to emotional experiences. The drive theory in a nut shell is something a person goes after in order to meet a biological need. If a person is hungry they will eat something to curve their appetite. If a person is thirsty they will drink something to rehydrate themselves. If a person is feeling lonely they will surround themselves with friends and family. When a person finds something that fills the void and makes them feel better, then the next time the same feelings emerge, the more likely the same action will be repeated to get the same satisfaction. Incentive theories state that a person’s behavior is based on end rewards, money, and recognition. If a person is participating in a game of sport, they are going to try and do their very best to receive recognition for winning or a trophy for scoring the highest. 3.

...The Strain Theory Professor Jaske CRM 3407 15 February 2016 Thus, the Social Learning Theory appears to be the best theory to explain how people of different cultures and origins are able to co-exist in a ship since the theory gives credibility to the ability of people to live cordially as they learn a particular living environment or system. The Strain Theory does an excellent job of explaining white collar crime, along with the contextual anomie/ strain theory. While examining this theory, it was discovered as the most compelling in our constant battle with white collar and corporate crimes. Ever since the beginning of recorded history man/woman has tried to achieve a better life, but not much has changed in today’s standards, since it can be said it is more now than ever. From television, and radio we see the American dream of home ownership, the ability to fit into the society with the latest gadgets. At the same time trying to further their education has its roots in the American dream of more pay, a better job, and the ability to retire all these things is associated with the American dream of more money. While reading this theory I took a closer look into what fuels the human mind in our society. White collar crime in most cases, according to the Strain Theory and my own beliefs is what fuel the human desire to be successful. Greed has always and always will be a driving force in our society, I see no relief in sight unless we as a society find some way that...

...How to Make a Tie-Blanket Supplies Needed: one pair of fabric scissors two yards of fleece two yards of different fleece a ruler (optional) I would recommend only using fleece to make this type of blanket. Fabric stores have a huge assortment of colors/designs to pick from, just make sure that you get two pieces of the same size. I'm on the taller side so I usually get two and a half yards unless I'm making the blanket for a baby or puppy. My friend is 6'7" and his blanket is three yards - fits him just fine! Again, it's completely up to you. For an example - since I wanted my friend's blanket three yards, I ended up with six yards of material total, because three yards of one design and three yards of another. You start out by laying the fleece down on a surface large enough for the fabric to be flat all of the way around with enough room for you to squeeze in to cut. Make sure the pieces are lined up one on top of the other. If one piece of fleece is longer than the other, simply trim the extra material off. Once the fabric is flat, start at one corner of the fleece. From the edge of the corner, go down three inches. At that spot, cut into the blanket three inches. Go back to the edge of the corner and do the same on the other side. You now have an inverted corner and a square piece of fabric that you can either put into your scrap pile or...

...The film that was chosen was “Mulholland Dr”. The film starts off with a female (Rita) being driven in a limousine, she realizes that the driver is not going where they need to be going. The limo stops and the driver orders her to get out, and then pulls a gun on her to attempt to murder her. At the same moment the car is hit head on by another car. Rita escapes death and stumbles into an apartment complex where she sneaks into one of the apartments. Later the niece (Betty) of the apartment’s resident comes to stay there, where she finds Rita. It is there where we find out that she has amnesia and does not know who she is. Betty befriends Rita to help her find out who she is. There are other stories that are intertwined as well, there is a scene where there is a man and who appears to be his shrink in a diner. The man tells the other about his dream about a man in the alley that is scary. The doctor takes the man to the spot where they come to the scary individual, and then the man passes out. This scene does not reveal if the man died or not. The way the film was shot, it felt like it was meant to be shot from the earlier times, and not the times when the film was actually shot. There were a lot of extreme close-ups to give a more serious feel to it. Other shots that I felt were used to help the viewer feel more part of the film, was a lot of point of view shots. The view has the chance to see what the character sees, from how they...

...How many restaurants does McDonald’s have around the world? According to the McDonald's Corporation website, McDonald's has, "More than 33,000 restaurants around the world in 118 countries“, which reflects the popularity of fast food all over the world. McDonald’s, one of the leading quick-service restaurant industries, has become an indispensable fast-food chain of our lives. There is nothing more than ready-made food being served fast and right in front of us for the modern fast-paced life. However, concerns for the adverse effect that it has on our health still exist. Despite all the claims on the disadvantages that it has, I strongly believe that McDonald’s is an invention of the modern times for three major reasons: McDonald saves cost and time, helps to strengthen relationship with other people and promotes positive economic impacts. The most evident advantage of McDonald’s is that it saves cost and time. If one lives alone and tries to prepare for a meal, it’s going to be cheaper and quicker to buy a meal from McDonald’s instead of buying all the ingredients and cooking it at home. Besides the time an individual has to spend in the kitchen, there is the added effort consumed in washing and peeling the vegetable. No matter how much benefit you can get from fresh meals with vegetables, at the end of a hard-working day, when one returns home all tired and hungry, a McDonald would be a godsend. All this makes eating McDonald’s score more preferably over cooking a meal for...
