...Inter-Cultural Translatability Of Ring Ashimova Aitolkyn East Asian Cinema, Fall 2015 December 18, 2015 Introduction The effect of 1998's Japanese film Ring can be compared to a big tsunami wave that not only became highest grossing horror film in the country, but also shuddered Taiwanese, Korean, Hong Kong film markets. Following years many publications included it to the numerous symbolic "top 10 most scary films" lists. And when Steven Spielberg bought the rights to make the Hollywood remake it was seen as official evidence that Japanese horror cinema became new trendsetter in this genre and gained cult status in the West. Nowadays with numerous follow-ups within the Ring franchise and triggered a trend of Western remakes "Ring" is viewed as exemplary illustrative Asian horror movie. I will argue that the wide success of the movie is caused not by its deep cultural ties with Japanese cinema and Japanese horror movies in particular, but because on the contrary "Ring" has little to do with its traditional background. Hideo Nakata deliberately cut off all the cultural traces in order to make cinematic language of the movie universal and cosmopolitan thus giving a way for its intercultural translation and to be easily replicated. In order to do it first I will analyze different Japanese merchandizing strategies and study the film as a media product. Second, I will briefly overlook history and main stylistic traits of Japanese horror movie genre. In my general overlook...

...TARUN GEHLOTS Introduction to transformations * Matrices can be used to represent many transformations on a grid (such as reflections, rotations, enlargements, stretches and shears). * To find the image of a point P, you multiply the matrix by the position vector of the point. Example: A transformation is represented by the 2 by 2 matrix M = . To find the image of the point (3, 2) under this transformation, you need to find the result of the following matrix multiplication So the coordinates of the image are (8, -1). Example 2: A rectangle has coordinates (1, 1), (4, 1), (4, 3) and (1, 3). Find the coordinates of the image of the rectangle under the transformation represented by the matrix . Solution: You could find the image of each vertex in turn by finding , etc. However, it is more efficient to multiply the transformation matrix by a rectangular matrix containing the coordinates of each vertex: . So the image has coordinates (2, 0), (11, -3), (9, -1) and (0, 2). The diagram below shows the object and the image: Any transformation that can be represented by a 2 by 2 matrix, , is called a linear transformation. 1.1 Transforming the unit square The square with coordinates O(0, 0), I(1, 0), J(0, 1) and K(1, 1) is called the unit square. Suppose we consider the image of this square under a general linear transformation as represented by the matrix : . We therefore can notice the following things: * The origin...

...Describe the accomplishments you have achieved during this course. My first accomplishments are to pass the course of math and work hard on the exam. I’m accomplishment in getting a strong foundation in this course. This accomplishment is to understanding many areas covered in math, for examples: whole number, the LCM prime factorization, and simplifying the expressions, Bar graphs and line graphs, proportions, rates and unit prices and ratios, percent problems, using the equations, simple and compound interest. These are example I have achieved this school quarter. Discuss one or two topics or concepts that have been a struggle so far. The concepts that I have a struggle with this term start with rounding and estimating like for example, I would have something like maybe 47 but I know how you round to the closer which will be 50 and if the whole number is 1. The second concept I been struggle with has been simple and compound interest has been the worse. For example: If I had $1000 into and investment for 1 year. I learn the $1000 is called the principal. If the yearly interest rate is 8%, in addition to the principal, you get back 8% of the principal you get back 8% of the principal will be for the use of the money overtime. 8% of $1000 you can does like 0.08 $1000 or $80.00. Describe one action step you can take to overcome your struggle. One of my action step, I’m trying very hard to overcome my struggle to me would be work more on my online classes, learn to turn homework...

...2. The manager of the Super Supermarket would like to be able to compute the unit price for products sold there. To do this, the program should input the name and price of an item and its weight in pounds and ounces. Then it should determine and display the unit price (the price per ounce) of that item and the total cost of the amount purchased. You will need the following variables: ItemName (a String) Pounds (a Float) Ounces (a Float) PoundPrice (a Float) TotalPrice (a Float) UnitPrice (a Float) You will need the following formulas: UnitPrice = PoundPrice/16 TotalPrice = PoundPrice*(Pounds + Ounces/16) Analysis A. Process: 1. Get user input. 2. Calculate and Display unit price per ounce 3. Calculate and Display total cost of amount purchased B.

...Program Description – I will be building a state of the art gaming computer. I will calculate the total prices based on the total input for each test case. After each test case has been formulated it will end in the total expected output of each test case. Analysis – The input of this program will consist of the base price ($500.00), the (OS $101.79), the (HD $79.99), and the (Processor $189.00. After all the choices have been selected, the program will determine the total cost of that option. The required output for the program will be the total cost of the state of the art gamming computer. The program will then determine the total cost of the state of the art gaming computer by using the following computation: TotalCost = BasePrice+OS+HD+Processor.
