...History Name Institution Date Concerning numerous researches that have been conducted, it was found that Hull House was a form of settlement house that was located in the United States of America and it was co-founded in 1889.Besides that, the co-founders of this form of the settlement were Jane Adams and Ellen Gates Starr. Various forms of analysis reveal that this form of settlement is based in the Near West Side of Chicago in Illinois [1]. This form of settlement opened its doors to the various forms of newly arriving Europeans immigrants. Over numerous years, Hull House had the capabilities of attracting some of the brightest women in the nation. However, the residents were able to form the network of reformers who use to operate at the state, national and local levels. Besides that Adams a, Starr, Julia Lathrop, Alice Hamilton and Sophonisba Breckenridge used to reside in that form of settlement scheme[2]. In their stay at the Hull, House women began carrying out various forms of activities such as sociological studies of the nearby conditions with an aim of developing sociology as a field. However, various forms of reformers were able to set out various forms of programs that were used to address the poor working environments, low wages, poor sanitations, malnutrition among other problems. This led to the emergence of a class of reformers who began to agitate for the passing of reform legislations[3]. By doing this, the women were in a good...

...1. What ethnic groups live in the neighborhoods bordering hull house? Are they representative of the major groups immigrating to the United States at the beginning of the twelfth century? The Hull House has indefinitely helped various ethnic groups live and grow communities in Chicago helping them contribute to the ethnic and religious diversity in Chicago. Some of the ethnic groups that still live in the area surrounding Hull House today are Italians, Germans, Bohemians, Canadian-French, and Russian Jews. In the City of Chicago today, there still are thousands of immigrants that live in the thirty block area of the Hull House. These groups were definitely among the majority that immigrated to the US in the early twelfth century. To this day, they are spread throughout the city. If we were to go south of Twelfth Street, there are many German, Polish, and Russian Jews that still live in that area. In the northwest side of Hull House live many French Canadians, and then if were to go North of that area there are many Irish and first-generation Americans who live there. 2. What are characteristics of most of the housing described here? Housing in the Hull House neighborhood was in very harsh conditions. The establishment of this was the beginning of revolution in “slums” of the city. There was a lot of dirt on the streets which really was dangerous, there were not enough schools for the children, and the streets were in miserable conditions. There was not a sewer system...

...As a result of the gained popularity of Hull House there were many rumors that were begging to flourish not only in the immediate community but also reaching a wider audience. Many reported that there were ghosts and spooks in the abandoned mansion that was purchased by Addams and Starr, however the largest fabrication spread was one about a supposed “Devil Baby” that supposedly could be seen from an attic window when walking down the street. This story was made very public in the fall of 1913, there were several versions of this tale and each had interpretations of their own. The Italian and the Jewish renditions of the story were the ones that were predominantly spoken of not only in Chicago but also as far as Milwaukee. It seemed that this...

...to say if AP’s master plan has paid off just a season in. As with Peter Gentle, it’ll be the second season that Radders can hopefully prove his worth. With preparations already underway for next season, hope springs eternal. Not only is Radford stronger and wiser for the ups and downs of this year, but so too are his youthful squad. Finishing outside the play-offs will most definitely not be an option in 2015 given so much more is at stake. Onwards and upwards you might be forgiven to say… It’s fair to say worry set into the minds of the fans even in pre-season. An away draw at partner club Doncaster was followed by defeat at Bradford and a 54-6 demolishing at Featherstone in Richard ‘Superman’ Whiting’s testimonial match. Despite this, Hull FC claimed the season’s early bragging rights winning the pre-season ‘friendly’ derby. Inconsistent results even in January set the tone for the rest of the year, with the palms of many supporters planted into their glum faces. An inspiring start to the Super League season it may have been, but 2 wins out of the first 5 matches wouldn’t suggest this on paper. A nail-biting opener against the Dragons on a cold February night at the KC gave debuts to 5 players plus a somewhat cameo return for a certain Garreth Carvell. 2 tries from Kirk Yeaman and a stunning 70m...

...In Twenty Years at Hull-House (1911), Jane Addams writes about immigrants from a different perspective; in her social work at a settlement house in Chicago, Addams lived and worked among immigrants. Addams describes immigrants as people who have come to America ignorant of their duties to society, but who nonetheless have potential. She argues that with education and guidance, immigrants can be taught to live like Americans and become contributing members of American society. Her vision is an example of the "melting pot" model for accommodating immigrants. Twenty Years at Hull-House's having been a bestseller indicates that Addams' views were popular with the American public. Hull-House once stood in the suburbs, but the city has steadily grown up around it and its site now has corners on three or four foreign colonies. Between Halsted Street and the river live about ten thousand Italians--Neapolitans, Sicilians, and Calabrians, with an occasional Lombard or Venetian. To the south on Twelfth Street are many Germans, and side streets are given over almost entirely to Polish and Russian Jews. Still farther south, these Jewish colonies merge into a huge Bohemian colony, so vast that Chicago ranks as the third Bohemian city in the world. To the northwest are many Canadian-French, clannish in spite of their long residence in America, and to the north are Irish and first-generation Americans. On the streets directly west and farther north are well-to-do English-speaking families, many...

...General Arangmenrt plan Hydrostatic calculation Route Objective Limitation Crosscuve of stability process Scantling When a new ship is designed, one of the primary steps involved in the development of the concept, is designing its General Arrangement and allocating proper spaces according to the requirements of the owner and functionality of the ship. It is up to the naval architect to decide on the ship’s general arrangement, depending on many design constraints that are mentioned in the technical specifications of the contract. Since almost all ships have something unique in their general arrangement, there is no specific procedure with rules stated for the same. But in spite of that, a naval architect needs to know the basic procedure to follow in order to come down to an optimum design. In this article, we shall discuss a general procedure that is followed in the ship designing industry. The General Arrangement, or GA as it is commonly called, is a drawing created by a naval architect. The purpose of this drawing is for space allocation, to ensure that everything that an owner wants in a vessel will actually fit. The GA consists of (at a minimum) a plan view of each major deck of the vessel, shows all of the watertight and structural bulkheads, as well as joiner bulkheads. All of the furniture is typically shown or in early stages the furniture and large items to be on the vessel are roughly blocked in. Passageways, stairwells and all equipment vital to the ships...

...bloodshed and patriotism of our brothers and sisters. Therefore, if we can celebrate those that have fought for racial freedoms then why can’t we not celebrate a woman who has stood up for the poor and provide them with a means for an equal quality of life. Hence, I am proposing that we set aside a day to recognize the countless achievements of Jane Adams, a woman who helped the children and women of the poor neighborhood. She served to be a beacon of hope and light to women and children during a time when they didn't seem to have any. Without her, women were not able to get well educated, children would not have kindergarten, and young adults would not have a boys and girls club. The greatest of Jane Addam achievement was starting the Hull House which not only a shelter but also an educational establishment for those who lived in the urban immigrant parts of Chicago. This house...

...through their ambition, ideas, influence, persistence, confidence, and strength in empowering others. Oprah is a good example of a leader simply for her ambition and ability to positively impact peoples’ lives. Although she does not have a specific role as a leader, Oprah has many qualities of one. Her ability to reach out to others plays a huge role in her success. Being the host of her own talk show certainly helps with that. As a leader, it is important to have ambition. Without the desire to get things done, nothing will actually get done. A leader without ambition is like a football game without running. Jane Addams, another prominent American female, was a reformer and a women’s rights activist. She co-founded the first Hull House in Chicago (nobelprize.org, 2014). This proves her to be a good leader by showing that she has helpful ideas. A leader needs to be someone who can come up with original solutions to a group’s problems, as demonstrated by Jane Addams. Because she lived in a time where women were simply supposed to be housewives, her work is even more substantial. Jennifer Lawrence also displays many leadership skills. It is not enough just to produce good ideas. A leader must empower others, and empowerment comes from self-confidence. Jennifer Lawrence...

...Name: Mittal Shah Professor: Virginia Gibbons Class: Eng-101 Date: July 07, 2015 Summary In “Consider the Lobster” David Foster Wallace points out morality of animal abuse by animal-like humans. Wallace gives example as lobster and the Maine Lobster Festival. The Maine Lobster festival cooks about 25000 thousand pounds of fresh lobsters and it’s the world’s largest lobster cooker festival. Wallace tries to convince humans that it is not right to boil live creature for humanistic pleasure. The author also thinks it is not moral or ethical behavior to. Lobsters are cooked alive; Wallace expresses his feeling about Lobster, and the pain they go through. It shows inhumanity and torture lobsters experience. However some people believe that lobsters are not humans, so they don’t feel any guilty eating lobsters. Wallace sounds so depress and he also says, “Gourmet readers should also consider moral status and suffering that animal involved.” RESPONSES David Foster Wallace’s Essay, Consider the Lobster has raised a great point. How Humans treat animals, especially in America. I really enjoyed reading this essay. Being a vegetarian I am really impressed by the author’s writing. Wallace is not telling people to become vegetarians or vegans. Many people think lobster don’t have brain so they don’t feel pain. Wallace states that “It is difficult not to sense that they're unhappy, or frightened, even if it's some rudimentary version of these feelings,” showing his knowledge of...

...Real-Time Hand Tracking for HumanComputer Interaction Ayush Tripathi, Kanishk Puri, Nilesh Srivastava, Prateek Dham (Students) Mrs S.S Dhotre(Professor) Computer Science Department Bharati Vidyapeeth Deemed University College of Engineering Pune, Maharashtra(India) Abstract- The proposed work is part of a project that aims for the control of a mouse based on hand gesture recognition. This goal implies the restriction of real-time response and unconstrained environments. This is basically a vision based skincolour segmentation method for moving hand in real time application [3]. This algorithm is based on three main steps: hand segmentation, hand tracking and gesture recognition from hand features. For the hand segmentation step we use the colour cue due to the characteristic colour values of human [1]. The hands are recognized by the computer using the skin colour as one of the basic features for the hand recognition. The important feature is the accurate segmentation of hands [3]. I. Introduction Nowadays, the majority of the human-computer interaction (HCI) is based on mechanical devices such as keyboards, mouse, joysticks or gamepads. In recent years there has been a growing interest in a class of methods based on computational vision due to its ability to recognise human gestures in a natural way .These methods use as input the images acquired from a camera or from a stereo pair of cameras. The main goal of these algorithms is to measure the hand configuration...

Answer: a) Matrix: The mxn matrix A = (aij) in which aij = 1 if ei (( si, and aij = 0 otherwise we call such a matrix, in which each entry is 0 or 1, a (0, 1) matrix. b) The Term Rank of A Matrix: The term rank of A is the number of elements in a partial transversal of largest possible size. For the figure, the term rank is 4. c) Chromatic function: Let G be a simple graph and Let PG (K) be the number of ways of coloring the vertices of G with K colors so that no two adjacent vertices have the same color. PG is called the chromatic function of G. For example, if G is the free, shown in the figure then PG (k) = K (K-1)2 d) Chromatic Index of G: if G is K colorable (e) but not (K-1) colorable (e) we say that the chromatic index of G is K and write X` (G) = K. For example, the figure shown for which X’ (G) = 4. e) MAP: A map is defined as a representation, usually on a flat surface of a whole or part of an area. The job of a map is to describe spatial relationships of specific features that the map aims to represent.

...Sophonisba Preston Breckinridge Abstract What does Prostitution and Social Work have in common, Sophonisba Preston Breckinridge. Sophonisba Breckinridge is one of the pioneers of what we today have come to know as social work. Born in 1866 in Lexington, Kentucky to a very distinguished family, Sophonisba Breckinridge would go on to have many noteworthy firsts for a woman of her time (Coghlan, 2005). With a very supportive father, she was one of the first women to attend college at A and M College in Lexington, later renamed the University of Kentucky (Coghlan, 2005). Unhappy with her experience there she left. She went on to enroll at Wellesley, which at the time was one of the only colleges for women. She earned her degree in 1888. After realizing that she would be limited to only teaching positions, she moved to be with her family in Washington, DC where her father served his role in Congress. She eventually accepted a faculty teaching position during a time she described as confused. Like most young professionals now-a-days, Breckinridge was yearning for more and felt that her current position was not her calling. She left after becoming really ill. In correspondence written to her colleagues, she seemed disgruntled and describes her days spent keeping house and teaching her sister as meager and that she was doing nothing. Her dream was to become a lawyer, and she was doing nothing close to that. Her father was a lawyer and had a successful practice...
