... The goal of my personal project was to, “Create a modification for the game Minecraft for its version labeled 1.8.9 written in Java, with efficient and organized code.” This goal involved me needing to research how to make Java code even neater, and how to make certain functions the code has even more efficient. I would also need to know differences between writing code for Minecraft’s 1.8.9 version, considering my prior knowledge consisted of writing code for Minecraft’s 1.7.10 version. I’ve familiarized myself with the Java coding language over the course of a year, and have decided to use this knowledge to create a product that anyone can use to enrich their experience while playing Minecraft. However, I’m not an expert in Java, therefore I do have a lot to learn about the language. In the past years, I’ve relied on modifications for Minecraft developed by other people to make my game experience even more entertaining for myself. I can see that there is a large portion of the community of people who play Minecraft, who play the game with modifications. In my opinion, in order to avoid losing interest in a game I use to entertain myself, I continue to add on to it by downloading a new modification and installing it. My inspiration for creating my own modification would be so that I can be in charge of delivering content to a game I enjoy, and be able to share my creation with the rest of the world. The Global Context of my Personal Project was Scientific and Technological...

...centre. The enterprise wide resource planning system (ERP System) is an example of an ICT system which coordinates all the resources, activities and corporate information of an organisation into one central database that collects data and feeds it into multiple applications that support all business activities of an organisation. Furthermore, it has been suggested that such systems facilitate unprecedented levels of organisational integration (Dechow and Mouritsen, 2005) and thus ERP systems have provided a new platform for organisations to thrive and develop a competitive advantage. Actor-Network Theory is a constructivist and distinctive approach to social theory which was developed in the early 1980’s by scholars Michel Callon and Bruno Latour, together with sociologist John Law. Whilst Actor-Network Theory is often interpreted in many ways, it is commonly agreed that it adopts a ‘material-semiotic’ approach, which assumes that many relations are mapped together in order to form a single network. Thus,...

...Image having someone close taken away, imagine how much pain and anguish one would feel. Well, this is how the Lindbergh’s felt when their son was snatched from their arms. The Lindbergh baby kidnapping resulted in the passage of the Lindbergh kidnapping law and the prohibition of courtroom photography. No one knew hat the night of March 1, 1932 was going to be the worst night for the Lindbergh’s on that evening Anne and the Nursemaid, Betty, put baby Charles to sleep. A while later Charles Lindbergh arrived at the house and ate dinner with Ann, after having dinner he went to his study while Anne got ready for bed; meanwhile Betty went to check on the baby, and she walked into the room, she didn’t hear anything, so she ventured closer to the crib, and when she got close enough to see, she realized the baby was gone. She raced to the study to see if the baby was with his father, but when she saw that he wasn’t their, she went to see if he was with his mother, but he wasn’t with her either. Charles Lindbergh couldn’t believe what was going he first said “Anne they have stolen our baby”(Beverly 15). After searching he found a ransom note but he did not touch it in case of finger prints, and then immediately he called the police saying “[T]his is Charles Lindbergh, my son has just been kidnapped” (Greg n.p.). In minutes the police arrived and Lindbergh told them everything, they took the note and immediately checked for prints, then they gave it to Charles to open. The note stated...

...What “REALLY” happened to Charles Augustus Lindbergh Jr.? Patience Smith Intro to CJ System CJ101-02 Prof. Dan Bilodeau On June 22, 1930, Charles Augustus Lindbergh Jr. was born to the infamous “Lucky Lindy” and his wife, Anne. When he was a mere 20 months old, he was kidnapped from his crib in the house where parents and staff were in the house beneath him. The kidnapping occurred from a second story window in a rainstorm where no one heard a thing! Here in lie the questions that we will discuss in this paper. The police suspected an inside job from the beginning. Whomever carried out the abduction knew the whereabouts of the nursery and the parent’s plans for the particular evening in questions. With the residence being in Morrow, New Jersey where the family stayed during the week then having a home in Hopewell where they stayed on the weekends. The abduction took place on a Tuesday night when the family had decided to stay longer in Hopewell because the baby came down with a fever and cold. The main question that appears here is that without an insider involved, how would the abductor have known that the baby was still in Hopewell. The first question asked is how the courts, police and corrections apply to the disappearance of the baby. The investigation was shoddy at best. The main concerns were that there was very little evidence to be found. Even though it was proven to be raining, there were no footprints left in the child’s bedroom where he was lifted...

...evolving technologies—miniature computers named "smart dust" or motes, wireless telecommunication, software agents that are intelligent, antennas, stretchy electronics, and micro-level power systems— embrace the potentiality to convert the work and daily life (Farias et al. 2012). Anyone who eagerly willing in the social impacts and insinuation of new technologies is making intelligence out of this would impose a significant challenge to him. Such type of changes qualitative in nature requires something very different to the conventional tools of analysis for the engineer or economist. Actor-Network Theory (ANT): its definition and suitability in computing studies Actor-Network Theory had emerged from the researches done by Michel Callon and Bruno Latour. The progressive constitution of the network has been described by their analysis on a collection of negotiations where the identities are assumed by not only the human but with the non-human actors as well. In this context, representation is comprehended in its political facet, as a method to delegate (Fenwick et al. 2012). The most significant among these negotiations is the "translation," an interaction multifaceted in nature where the actors (1) build up the definitions and meanings that are common, (2) define representatives, and (3) co-operate each other in the quest of objectives that are individual and cooperative. Again, some researchers opined that Actor-network theory may be treated as a methodical way to facilitate the...

For further information contact the UOW Library: research-pubs@uow.edu.au Actor Network Theory Abstract Actor-Network Theory (ANT) emerged from science and technology studies, though it was inspired by grounded theory and semiotics. In the 1970s, Bruno Latour (a French anthropologist and social scientist) and Steve Woolgar (a British sociologist) undertook ethnographic field work at the Salk Institute in California. This research was inspired by grounded theory and Latour and Woolgar approached their study of work in the endocrinology laboratory as if they were anthropologists observing a hitherto unknown and strange set of practices. In other words, they did not fit their observations into any preconceived notions of scientific method, or how science 'should' be done. The resulting, highly influential book Laboratory Life: The Social Construction of Scientific Facts(1979, re-released in 1986 with additional commentary) gave a detailed account of the everyday activities of scientists...

...Giordano Bruno was burned at the stake 400 years ago. He was tied up, as they gathered wood at his feet. Some report that he was wearing a shawl with daemons emblazed on it, and others say that he was stripped. The reason he was burned was his heresy and his refusal to conform to the Vatican's will. A Pantheist, he believed that nature was god, and all other theology was fundamentally flawed. Giordano Bruno was burned alive 400 years ago by cruel, mindless men, and upon hearing what his fate would be, he said, "Perhaps you deliver my punishment with more fear than I receive it." Oh, what bravery, courage, and stamina of life! This may have been the test of humanity. The spirits of charity and courage watched -- they saw the lighting of his body, the soft glow of embers, they saw what we all now know: that humanity failed; that kindness and justice were overthrown, treated as vestiges and given no value. Giordano Bruno was burned 400 years ago, the flames engulfing his torso, blistering his skin, turning his insides molten. And as I read and learn of the glorious martyr, with his death being a sign forever of the extent of cruelty, I come to uneasy questions about myself. Would I do the same? What would the flame taste like? How long would it last? Asking questions to myself, I seem more and more like a strange. Sometimes I wish I could meet this hero of every Humanitarian. And I wish I could ask what was so precious to him, how he had lived, how he died, the loves...

Focus on the change of your attitude and opinion: How and why it occurred. TraumaOne: As Life Flashes Through Your Head Has there ever been a time when today was the last time a love one or friend would be alive? Not to bring back any bad memories of the past, but the thought of what actions have to be completed to ensure that this particular time by this road on a summer day is not going to be that day. Just a typical afternoon working at the new salon and the owner comes and says “Can you two guys go put up this sign up by the road?” Let us take an imaginary trip through your head of the first three hours after the accident takes place from putting up the sign, to the accident when the life of a friend flashes through your head and finally finding out that the friend is going to recover completely after some time in the hospital. The afternoon was just as any ordinary afternoon of work that gets a new hair salon business up and running. It began with getting supplies together to go clean the marquee before putting the new sign up so that everyone would know that the hair salon that used to be beside Wal-Mart in our town had not gone out of business, just a change of location. Once the supplies were gathered, we headed to the marquee...
