...I N DI A / H AT E P O L I T IC S into a taxi late one night two years ago. Tehelka, the newsmagazine I work with, had just broken a major investigation. It was an hour past midnight. e airwaves were still crackling with the amplifying shames of the story as television anchors quizzed a conveyor belt of public figures on its implications. In February 2002, 59 Hindu pilgrims returning from Ayodhya – the symbolically surcharged birthplace of Lord Ram – had been burnt alive in a train by a Muslim mob in the western Indian state of Gujarat. Over the next week, retaliatory Hindu mobs hacked and burned 2,500 Muslims across the state. As the world watched in shock, an impenitent government led by the rightwing Hindutva Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) put out smart theories about ‘action and spontaneous reaction’ – Hindu retaliation for Muslim crime – and refused to apologize. A year later, though evidence of his culpability was piled high, Gujarat strongman Narendra Modi – an inscrutable fascist and skilled demagogue – was re-elected as Incandescent: Hindutva chief minister of Gujarat on a zealots rage against the mega vote: a terrifying reflection arrest of Sadhvi Pragya, of popular Hindu sentiment in the a Hindu ascetic, under state. Success can be a tremendous suspicion of a terror attack. sanction. With the fig leaf of the popular mandate in his pocket, even India’s liberal élite began to look the other way.

...“The very ink with which all history is written is merely fluid prejudice.” (Twain n. pag.). In Following the Equator, Mark Twain uses this quote which represents the time period in which he lived. Twain lived with this family owning slaves and with the debates on slavery and popular sovereignty, he lived through the Civil War, and he lived through manifest destiny. The debate on slavery during the 1800’s deeply influenced Twain personally and in his literary works. Consequently Mark Twain greatly influenced later writers by his creation of a unique American style. The 19th and 20th centuries were full of controversy surrounding slavery. In the American south most of the residents were in favor of the continuation of using African Americans...

The terrible night started off with Woodworth going to several different pubs (Joseph, Anthony). Woodworth was having the time of her life, but then she got a little tipsy. The bartender would not give her any more alcohol, so Christopher May had offered to go back to his place and drink (Wales: Ex-butcher Christopher May). But what the bartender did not know was that she would have been better off if he kept serving her drinks. This made an opportunity for May to make his move. When May and Woodworth got to his flat he tried to seduce...

For each of us, the benefits or reward are in most cases the same, we would like to get an A on our presentation. What will set us apart is how bad each of us as individuals really want that A. Since I have worked with each of the students in my group for over a year now it’s fairly easy to know and to set expectations as to who will do what within our group. Allan has cared about one thing since I met him a year ago, his GPA. He has not missed a day of school and like me is always the last to leave after class labs. Due to his dedication to maintaining a 4.0 GPA he had everything to gain by putting forth a great effort and contributing one hundred percent to his part of the project. Jolynn is also one who cares allot about her GPA and as with every other project I have been a part of, will give one hundred percent in order to get a good grade. The difference with her is really having more going on in her personal life. While she may get things to us a little later than we would like, it will still get to us in time to keep the project from being late. Last is Larry, he is the odd ball out when it comes to dedication. While he would like that A that we are all looking for, it does not...

...The “Rolling Stones”, the “Greatest Rock ‘n’ Roll Band in the World”, or the “Stones” are all names of which the influential bad boys of Rock ‘n’ Roll go by. The well deserved and hardly argued title of the “Greatest Rock ‘n’ Roll Band in the World” was first bestowed upon them in the 1960s. Although there were other Rock ‘n’ Roll bands rising to fame at this time, almost simultaneously, the Rolling Stones graciously accepted the title and carried it to the top along with them, taking no breaks from the spotlight. The Rolling Stones left a lasting impression on the music industry as well as on most, if not all, of the people that have had the pleasure of enjoying their music, including myself. I was first captivated by the Stones as a kid...

By looking for which years contained February 29th, I determined (confirmed) that 2008 and 2012 are both leap years. 6. Commands used, "clear" and "man date". Determined that option -u, --utc, and --universal for the date command will display todays date in UTC. 7. Command used, "date -u". As of right now, todays date and time as displayed from the ouput is Mon Jan 18 21:58:55 UTC 2010. 8. Commands used, "cat > month" and "cal 1 2010 >> month". I used "cat > month" to create a file called month and then " cal 1 2010 >> month" to add information to the existing month file with the current month. 9. Command used, "more month". This command displayed the contents of the month file created in Exercise 8, displaying January of 2010. 10. Commands used, "who -u >> users_info" and "more users_info". The "who -u >> users_info" command input information about idle time for users currently logged into into the file called users_info. The "more users_info" command displayed the contents of this file. 11. Command used, "more month users_info". This displayed the contents of month first, and then the contents of users_info after that by using only one command-line sequence of commands. Another way to do this would be to use the "more month ; more users_info" command which I used later on. 12. Commands used, "more month users_info" and...

...In-N-Out Burger History and Overview. The history of In-N-Out Burger starts with the company’s founders, Harry and Esther Snyder. Harry was a WWII veteran who worked as a caterer of baked goods. Esther was a surgical nurse in the Navy, and later got a degree in Zoology. They met each other at the restaurant Esther was managing after she graduated from college. Neither had experience in the fast food industry, which was just starting at that time, but in 1948, the couple opened the first In-N-Out in the Los Angeles, California. Harry was the first to allow drivers to make orders over a two-way intercom system, creating the first Drive-thru experience. Snyder had a simple goal for his restaurant, to give the customers “the freshest, highest quality foods you can buy” while providing “friendly service in a sparkling clean environment”. Soon people started to become interested in this idea. Two years later the couple opened the Second In-N-Out Burger. The chain had huge potential to explode but the couple was very focused on quality control. This resulted in only 18 restaurants being opened over the next 28 years before Harry Synder passed away in 1976 from lung cancer. After Harry died his son who had worked in the restaurants all his live, took the role as company president being just 24 years old. While Rich controlled the company it experienced huge growth. In twenty years the company opened over ninety In-N-Out Burgers. Over this time only one new thing was added to the menu...

...Choice I chose this song because of the lyrical message in which caught my attention. In the song, J Cole tries to find out who he is, quoting several times “Who am I?” in the song. Another reason why I chose this song is because I enjoy listening to rap music. Adding on to my opinion, I admire J Cole's music because of the R&B/Rap feel he puts into the rhythm of most of his songs and how he adds in a subtle classical vibe. He uses calming music in the background (such as the piano and violin) to soothe the listener with soft sounds as they listen to a loud message/story which gives the song a nice balance and gives the listener the best of both worlds. In conclusion, I picked this song because of the appealing message and the balance of 3 genres of music, R&B, Rap and Classical. Story/Meaning This song is a touching story of him learning who he is in his through his late teens/ early 20’s. Verse 1: In verse 1, he explains his low self esteem and the lack of confidence he...

...C PROGRAMMING Section 1. Topics: Functions Statements Input Output Variables Introduction The C programming language has been the most popular high level language used for engineering applications for the last 20 years. It shares many common structures with other procedural languages, such as Pascal, and can be used for general purpose programming of a PC. However, it is also particularly good for development of embedded application programs such as those found in phones, video recorders and so forth. The term procedural language refers to the fact that the language uses procedures to do particular tasks such as printing on the screen. In C these procedures are known as functions and are described below. What is so good about a language like C? The basic reason such languages were developed was to make it easier for humans to program computers. The alternative is the language of the computer, i.e., binary codes. Clearly such ‘low-level’ languages are not very appealing for humans, although sometimes necessary for detailed engineering work. (In fact C is often ‘mixed’ with such languages for engineering applications.) C uses words and symbols that are part of, or similar to, normal language. This makes it easier for programmers to develop code. The C code is converted to the machine code by a special program called a compiler. See note 1. But perhaps the most useful thing about such a language is that it provides the developer with a library of ‘mini-programs’...
