...More Than One Reality By: Ethan Caldwell Reality is kind of like a memory. Everyone has their own different ideas of what it should be but none are necessarily the truth. For example two people who were both in the great depression could have totally different thoughts on the difficult times. While one could have lived on the streets struggling every day to find food and water, the other could have been among the few rich people and lived in luxury. Both of them would have very different memories about how times were back then. The same goes for reality. While we all might agree on what is real or not our thoughts on reality could be on different sides of the spectrum. The definition of reality is “the state or quality of having existence or substance.” If something is real to me then that’s my reality and same goes for someone else, so who’s to say that there isn’t more than one reality and why is humanity so interested in reality? I believe that humanity is so interested in reality because we are naturally curious. They say curiosity killed the cat and I believe that saying is very true. We as humans always want our questions answered be it a simple question like two plus two or a complex question like what is reality with no real answer yet. This curiosity is just part of our nature and it can lead to obsessions. Some people are so obsessed with finding the answer to questions that they devote their whole life to it and this obsession consumes them. Even if we...

...Escuchando buen Rock como de costumbre y entre una vasta colección de grupos y artistas me encontré con Boston, tremenda banda de los 70’s, su música hoy día es catalogada como Rock Clásico, para su momento este grupo con sus riffs y efectos de sonido interpreto un Rock progresivo y futurístico, nos quedo en el recuerdo con muy buenos Riffs y una batería buena quizá no de las mejores. Hoy día sigue activa con giras y presentaciones El primer LP de Boston en 1976 vendió mas de 17 millones de copias, el sencillo más recordado de este Álbum es More than a feeling , este arreglo según Rollingstone magazine está entre las mejores 500 canciones de todos los tiempos pero el álbum en cuestión no figuro dentro de los 500 mejores álbumes de todos los tiempos, teniendo 3 canciones más igual de memorables que la mencionada anteriormente. Según la misma revista, ACDC con high way to hell que en 1979 vendió 7millones de copias en USA y Queen con a night at the opera (no el mejor álbum a mi parecer) en 1975 que vendió 3 millones de copias en USA si están en la lista, y en ningún caso la banda era su primer disco. Un éxito similar en ventas de Álbumes lo tuvo Whitney Houston en 1985 con son su primer álbum que llevaba su mismo nombre, vendió 18 millones de copias en Usa, pero claro Whitney no era considerada ni siquiera Soft Rock, no sé qué criterio utilizó Rollingstone para no poner este álbum entre los mejores, me imagino que Tom Scholz por ser Ingeniero Mecánico egresado del...

...of what Columbus actually did. History needs to be through different viewpoints or the true history of life isn’t told; learners can’t perish to one view on history. Nations and communities have different viewpoints for example. Nations view history as Columbus viewed it while communities view history as the oppressed viewed it. While the views are associated with two different history writing styles in the chapter that Zinn provides, different views are essential when it comes to learning history. National collective memory is associated massively to the leader’s perspective, for example Columbus’s viewpoint; communal collective memory is linked heavily to the oppressed perspective such as the experiences of the Arawaks. The first chapter titled Columbus, The Indians, and Human Progress Zinn analyzed the untold history of what Columbus actually did back in 1492. Zinn provides us two different types of history writing. One type is the history of Columbus in Columbus’s own point of view. This is the type that students briefly learned about in high school modern history courses and of historians. Some historians basically sympathize with Columbus’s perspective. He was a hero for finding new land and supposedly bringing gold back to the King and Queen. Many students didn’t know there were other viewpoints so they believed in that one view. Zinn states, “When we read the history books given to children in the United States, it all starts with heroic adventure – there is no bloodshed...

...A Need for More Than One Bread Winner Per Family Live to work or work to live? It’s not always easy to choose work over family. However having one breadwinner in a family would make it so that one may have to constantly work in order to provide for that family. That being said having more than one breadwinner or breadwinners a person can choose to work less and spend more time at home. In order to take care of other priorities. It’s not always easy to choose work or spending time at home especially in today’s society, as the cost of living has inflated over the years, one may worbout not saving enough for retirement as well as not having enough money for other necessities such as food gas or maybe even sending their kids to school. Let’s face it, we live in a constantly changing world where it seems the price of just being on this earth is already too high. With budget cuts, war , natural disasters, and everything else that has to do with our modern day society we all have to pay towards them if it’s out of pocket or some other way. The sad reality is we all want a to picture ourselves being retired at an old but still relatively young age to where we can still enjoy our lives with our families, but with the world always at a change and the event you don’t have another partner their to support you, that reality may seem hazy. Having two breadwinner’s in a family however, makes it easier for parents or guardians to provide basic necessities such as food, clothing , and...

...There is a lot to be gained from studying a topic in psychology from more than one perspective. Psychology is a subject which is based on theory and uses various scientific methods to both collect and analyse data. There are many different psychological perspectives adopted by psychologists who take different viewpoints from each other, even though the topic they are interested in is the same. This essay aims to address the question that there is a lot to be gained from studying a topic in psychology from more than one perspective, by looking at the topics of language and meaning from the perspectives of the social constructionists, evolutionary psychologists and cognitive psychology. And the topic of the psychology of sex and gender from the perspectives of social constructionists, evolutionary psychology, biological psychology and psychodynamic psychology. One advantage of studying a topic in psychology from various different perspectives is that each perspective has a different "object of knowledge” and therefore the questions that each perspective will pose, the evidence they collect and the methods they use to collect that evidence will be different. Which in turn causes each perspective either to conflict, coexist or complement each other? If we look at the topic of the psychology of sex and gender from a social constructionist perspective, the object of knowledge we would be concentrating or interested in is that of the social and cultural context of how sex...

...might one approach to ethics be more appropriate than another? Ethics is learned at an early age and stays with one throughout one's life. It is because each one of us is part of the society and the foundation for a civilized society should be strong and rational. Ethics are about how we meet the challenge of doing the right thing when it will cost us more than we want to pay. Morals describe our beliefs, customs and traditions that are reflected in our personal convictions about right and wrong. Values are our core beliefs or desires that guide or motivate our attitudes and actions. They also define the things we value and prize the most, and, therefore, provide the basis for ranking the things we want in a way that elevates some values over others. The approach to ethics can be defined in three different ways 1. Ethics as virtue 2. Ethics as consequence 3. Ethics as principle. In ethics as a virtue the characteristics includes being honest, showing integrity, promise-keeping, loyalty, fairness and ration. Virtue ethics necessarily does not deal with the rightness or wrongness of individual actions, but it provides guidance as to the sort of characteristics and behaviors a good person will seek to achieve. It looks at the virtue or moral character of the person carrying out an action, rather than at ethical duties and rules, or the consequences of particular actions. Ethics as a consequence says that right or wrong depend on the consequences of an act, and that the more good...

...FACTORS THAT AFFECT PEOPLE TO HAVE MORE THAN ONE CREDIT CARDS Abstract Credit card is only form of payment card that offers a revolving line of credit in addition to its function as a means of electronic payment. Currently, the number of credit cards in circulation in Indonesia is growing rapidly until it reached 14.7 million cards in 2011. This becomes higher since most of the credit card customers holding more than one card. As the number of credit cards in circulation rises, the problems also rise. Problems of credit card customers were diverse, ranging from billing to the difficulty when they want to stop being a customer. Although having many credits card increasing the probability problem, people still tend to have many. From those idea, author decide to do a research on what is actually affect people to have more than one credit card and avoiding the potential problem caused by that. The research methodology that authors use is the quantitative method by collecting through surveys to 106 respondents in Jakarta and Bandung. By the research method above, authors find that factors that actually influence people to have more than one credit card are promotion program that bank offered, lifestyle, the easiness to not bring cash, and the easiness to use the credit cards. While factor that significantly affect the amount of credit card owned by people is only the easiness to use factor. By knowing these factors, banks as the “credit card seller” can make some innovative...

...Arctic Mining Consultants (Case Study) Tom Parker enjoyed working outdoors. At various times in the past, he worked as a ranch hand, high steel rigger, headstone installer, prospector, and geological field technician. Now 43, Parker is a geological field technician and field coordinator with Arctic Mining Consultants. He has specialized knowledge and experience in all nontechnical aspects of mineral exploration, including claim staking, line cutting and grid installation, soil sampling, prospecting, and trenching. He is responsible for hiring, training, and supervising field assistants for all of Arctic Mining Consultants' programs. Field assistants are paid a fairly low daily wage (no matter how long they work, which may be up to 12 hours or more) but are provided meals and accommodation. Many of the programs are operated by a project manager who reports to Parker. Parker sometimes acts as a project manager , as he did on a job that involved staking 15 claims near Eagle Lake, Alaska. He selected John Talbot, Greg Boyce, and Brian Millar, all of whom had previously worked with Parker, as the field assistants. To stake a claim, the project team marks a line with flagging tape and blazes along the perimeter of the claim, cutting a claim post every 500 yards (called a length). The 15 claims would require almost 60 miles of line in total. Parker had budgeted seven days (plus mobilization and demobilization) to complete the job. This meant that each of the four stakers (Parker, Talbot,...

...Adopting More Than One Renewable Energy Sources Nishi N S P G student, Dept. of Electrical and electronics Engineering Vidya Academy of Science and Technology Thalakkottukara, Thrissur, Kerala, India nishi.ns@gmail.com Jasna S B Associate Professor, Dept. of Electrical and electronics Engineering Vidya Academy of Science and Technology Thalakkottukara, Thrissur, Kerala, India jasna.s.b@vidyaacademy.ac.in Abstract— This paper proposes an asymmetrical double input converter for low power applications. Double Input Converters (DICs) are special case of Multiple Input Converters where available MICs usually have complex configuration and numerous transformer windings. The proposed converters have advantages of simple architecture, soft-switching realization, and high conversion efficiency compared with available MICs. In this paper, the operating principle of DIC composed of two buck PVSC is analyzed. The open loop and closed loop simulation of the proposed converter is carried out and verified. Multi input converters play a key role in such hybridized systems, where it is required to have more than one power source. A multiple input converter is a circuit that accommodates input of more than one energy sources which are of the pulsating voltage source cells (PVSC),and provides at least one output. Such technologies can find application in residential, aerospace, automotive, portable electronics and any other application where there is the possibility of using more than one source...

...that “higher” pleasures are intrinsically more desirable than “lower” ones? Is this distinction consistent with the thesis that pleasure is the only thing of value? In “Utilitarianism” Mill argues that ‘higher’ pleasures are intrinsically more valuable than ‘lower’ pleasures, citing the invariable preference of men who have access to both available (pp.140). I am inclined to disagree, particularly with regards to his assertion that ‘higher’ pleasures have such a “superiority of quality”(pp.139), so as to render any quantity of ‘lower’ pleasures “in comparison, of small account”- this non-cardinal view of pleasure raises many discontinuities. This is particularly the case when we take Mill at his word: “actions are right in proportion as they tend to increase happiness… By happiness is intended pleasure and the absence of pain”(pp.137), and view pleasure as the only good. It is the twin beliefs; of pleasure as the only good-making exercise and Mill’s non-cardinal conception of pleasure that form the core of my disagreement with Mill. I will begin by presenting Mill’s arguments for intrinsically more valuable ‘higher’ pleasures and evaluating them. To support his assertion that ‘higher’ pleasures are intrinsically more valuable, Mill asks the reader to consider a thought experiment. Would an “intelligent human being… consent to be changed into a fool”(p.139), if they could be persuaded that the fool “is better satisfied with his lot than they are with theirs”. As Mill attests...

...GIVE A REFERENCED ACCOUNT OF THEIR CAUSES(S) AND MANAGEMENT. PLEASE NOTE NOT ALL REFERENCES WILL GIVE YOU THE SAME METHOD OF MANAGEMENT AND SOME WILL GIVE MORE THAN ONE METHOD Nail fungi (onychomycosis) is caused by dermatophytes that invade the nail matrix. They possess the ability to thrive and grow on the protein keratin and favour damp and dark conditions, therefore the human toenail and nail bed provide the ultimate breeding ground. (Johnson 1993) The most common is Trichophyton Rubrum, the same causes “athletes’ foot”. This commonly affects the sole, dorsum, lateral borders and in between toes. If left untreated, the infection can spread to the nail matrix. (Bristow I. 1996) Fungal infections can start by trauma to the toenail which leaves it vulnerable to infection. People who do not maintain a good standard of foot hygiene are predisposed to fungal infections. Failure to dry the feet thoroughly and the use of communal showers can all be causative factors. (Johnson M. 1993) Treatment can be prolonged using topical products, in some cases up to 9 months. More often than not these are ineffective as the treatment cannot penetrate the thickened nail. The only topical agents giving some success in mild nail infection are amorolfine, cyclopiroxolamine and tioconazole. (Dawber R. 1996) If there are more than 2 or 3 nails involved, it is better to use terbinafine orally together with amorolfine topically as recent evidence shows better success rates using both...

...Faith and teachings were very important in ancient Israel. It was imperative to teachers that all who sought out faith learned in one uniform system. In order to properly understand and interpret the texts and teachings of the Torah, the methods to which it was taught had to be unwavering and exactly the same in order for the Jewish community to flourish. Rituals can be an imperative portion of learning a religion. For example, Catholics rigorously follow rituals in mass such as songs, prayers, and the act of receiving communion. In the scripture Nehemiah 8, the Jewish community follows certain rituals just as in any other religion. One in particular would be the reading of the Torah to the Jewish followers following their return from exile in Babylon and the rebuilding of the wall in Jerusalem. The reason for this ritual was to integrate the people back into their faith in a controlled setting where they could all be taught the same traditions. The purpose was to circulate the Torah to the entire nation of Jews at the same period of time once the exile ended. Once the Israelites became settled after the exile, it was very important to bestow the faith upon them and it was very important that they learned the Torah, whereas pre-exilic Judah had already been devout. Throughout both periods of time however, interpreting the sacred text and teachings was a vital asset to the community’s way of living. The Israelites became the new Jewish community and played a dynamic role in...
