...Introduction In July 2, 1961, our literacy world was surprised when “A man is not made for defeat ... a man can be destroyed but not defeated”, Ernest Hemiway, was suicide by his shotgun. For sixty-two years, being a great journalist, a soldier and a great writer, Hemingway sang the praise of courageous and extoled human values through his visual experience of the Great War. A Farewell to Arms (1929) – The World War I experience For Whom the Bells Toll (1940) – The Spanish Civil War The Oldman and the Sea (1952) – Ernest Hemingway’s war. (Life’s struggle) This paper will focus on three different wars in Ernest Hemingway’s time frame by concentrate his life style and its influence on writing emotion through his way to the Nobel Prize. Body I. Early Life A. Birth Ernest Hemingway was born on July 21, 1899 in the family which father is the doctor and mother is a former opera singer. During his childhood, he loved sports, hunting and fishing at the family’s summer house at Walloon Lake, Michigan. He was a talented writer, even when he was teenager, he always kept note fill with his thought and observation about the world around him. Hemingway fear his mother. As Martha Gellhorn, Hemingway’s third wife wrote “Deep in Ernest, due to his mother, going back to the indestructible first memories of childhood, was mistrust and fear of women” (http://www.salon.com/2006/08/12/gellhorn.html) B. Family His father, Clarence Edmonds Hemingway, a doctor, and his mother, Grace...

...The Future of my Favorite Technology Each generation lives in a changing world, and along with change comes innovation. There are everyday conveniences that I take for granted, yet some of them have only been commonplace for the last 15 to 20 years. Most of them were not even dreamed of when my Mother was young. She remembers when they got their first television and I cannot imagine a world without television. I am sure when my daughter gets older; she will have only faint memories of blue-ray discs and i-phones, because something better will have come along by then. As the saying goes, “change is good”, as I always say, “change is inevitable, but not necessarily good”; however, the technological advances of the last 20 years have certainly made my life different from the last generation. What will the future bring next in the world of technology? In an article I read in Reader’s Digest recently, they asked people living in the United States what they would give up: television, cell phone, or the internet. The results showed that 49% would give up television, but if all the people polled had been over 45 years of age they would have chosen the cell phone. These are three pieces of technology that I use every day. I have had a cell phone for the last sixteen years and I do not know what I did before I had one. I could not imagine letting my daughter out of the house without hers. What did parents do before cell phones? As for the television technology, I like the convenience...

...“In most societies, formal schooling is an important institution for transmitting knowledge and culture from generation to generation and for developing human traits that contribute to human output, social stability, and the production of new knowledge” (Carnoy, Education as Cultural Imperialism, p.1). Ultimately the word “education” would mean for one to be enlightened and obtain knowledge through learning. However, the kind of education received within the United States Prison Systems is actively doing the opposite. The oppressed inmate populations are ultimately being exploited for cheap labor in order to support a capitalist society that they do not benefit from. This paper will argue that the education being withheld from prison inmates is both cultural and educational imperialism. This paper will also argue that the Prison Industrial Complex is intentionally exploiting inmates to contribute to a capitalist labor market instead of receiving education they are entitled to in order to be rehabilitated, reduce recidivism, improve their lives and ultimately better benefit society. Incarceration in the United States is the main form of punishment, rehabilitation, or both as a consequence of felony and other criminal offenses. The United States is the world’s leader in incarceration with 2.2 million people currently in the nation's prisons or jails. This means a 500% increase over the past thirty years (The Sentencing Project.org). These trends have resulted in prison overcrowding...

...Today, we live in a world where technology is forever increasing and impacts our everyday lives. IPads, IPods, laptops, computers, YouTube, Facebook, are all things we all are familiar with and probably use every day. Not one day goes by without me surfing the internet. People exercise the use of our technology to make their lives easier. Technology can be defined as the branch of knowledge that deals with the creation and use of technical means and their interrelation with life, society, and the environment, drawing upon such subjects as industrial arts, engineering, applied science, and pure science (Dictionary.com). The computer, for example, is a common resource I use every day, even for the simplest tasks. Research, navigation, weather, sports, whatever it may be, have never been so easy. I find out now that I am in college, just how essential technology is. I believe the role of technology in college and careers is to create higher education, help make things more accessible, thus making our jobs or learning experiences easier and enjoyable for people but, just as technology may be beneficial to people, there can also be some hindrances. Technology is beneficial to me in college in so many ways. To begin with, technology helps me learn and get my school work done efficiently. By using laptops, smartphones, IPods, and things such as those, I believe my learning is better because I am more of a visual learner and growing up in this day and age, it is something that I am...

...and privatization of the Indian economy in 1990s paved a more flexible functioning of the services sector and particularly the banking industry. Added to this the adoption of technology in the banking sector has made a remarkable advancement in the service quality of the banks in India. Now bank customers are availing their banking services through internet banking, ATM services and further it has added one more feather to its services by introducing Mobile-Banking to its channel of distribution. Mobile banking is a subset of banking as it allows everyone easy access to their banking activities via., mobile handset (YU&Fang, 2009). Various research findings regarding the penetration of mobile phone, states that the penetration level of mobile in the world is more comparable to that of the banking. The Financial Access Initiative, a research consortium based on New-York University has identified that 2.5 adults worldwide do not have a savings or credit account with either a traditional or alternative financial institution (Chaia, et., 2009). Across the globe the formal banking reaches about 37 per cent of the population, but mobile phone penetration level is 50 per cent of the population. When we analyze the Indian scenario, we should first thank for liberalizing the Indian economy. Due to the liberalization that initiated in the telecom sector, it has boomed to a greater extent of growth and it has registered at$100 billion today and its contribution to the gross domestic product...

...Xx J. B. English 101 March 20, 2010 “Is Air Pollution a Belief?” Winter-Koger’s essay “What on Earth Are We Doing?” discusses many environmental problems, e.g.: ozone depletion, global warming, overpopulation, deforestation, air and water pollution, topsoil loss, and coral reef destruction. While it is difficult to isolate one problem to discuss, as they are all equally, important environmental problems; I have decided to research the effects of outdoor air pollution. I am interested particularly in whether the United States has made any positive changes for cleaner air, or added to the negative impacts on two of six different types of air pollution-ozone(smog) and particle pollution (particulate matter) since Winter-Koger’s essay (2004). Air pollution is one of the many environmental problems faced each day around the world. Man has always been a solid contributor to environmental pollution, a problem passed on from generation to generation. Air pollution is not a belief that one has; but a real problem that absolutely does exist. Many people have dedicated their lives to finding a solution to the detrimental effects of air pollution. And many people, unknowingly, and some ignorantly, have dedicated their lives to contributing to air pollution. To better understand the effects of air pollution, one must first understand the definition of air pollution and how it is caused. You may disagree and feel you know the definition of air pollution; but ask the person next...

...M.E.S. College, Marampally 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 GENERATION OF COMPUTERS The first electronic computer was designed and built at the University of Pennsylvania based on vacuum tube technology. Vacuum tubes were used to perform logic operations and to store data. Generations of computers has been divided into five according to the development of technologies used to fabricate the processors, memories and I/O units. I Generation II Generation III Generation IV Generation V Generation : 1945 – 55 : 1955 – 65 : 1965 – 75 : 1975 – 89 : 1989 to present First Generation (ENIAC - Electronic Numerical Integrator And Calculator EDSAC – Electronic Delay Storage Automatic Calculator EDVAC – Electronic Discrete Variable Automatic Computer UNIVAC – Universal Automatic Computer IBM 701) Vacuum tubes were used – basic arithmetic operations took few milliseconds Bulky Consume more power with limited performance High cost Uses assembly language – to prepare programs. These were translated into machine level language for execution. Mercury delay line memories and Electrostatic memories were used Fixed point arithmetic was used 100 to 1000 fold increase in speed relative to the earlier mechanical and relay based electromechanical technology Punched cards and paper tape were invented to feed programs and data and to get results.

...Timothy Blake White Griffin ENG 102 01 Research Paper Alternative Energy The continued use of the planet’s fossil fuels will eventually come to an end and will require an ultimatum to be made. Other sources of energy must be found to sustain this dependency that society has created, so it can continue to fuel our everyday needs. Although scarcity is a leading factor in the search for newer resources, the damaged caused by fossil fuels need to be reversed, including pollution and global warming. Every day there are more and more advancements, innovations, or even inventions of new alternative resources that need to be taken advantage of to maintain a stable and reliable source of energy. Alternative energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydrogen energy are more durable and efficient to be used as a substitute for current natural resource uses. Foremost, fossil fuels have been a primary source for energy for years, and had some major consequences alongside them. Pollution is no new name to the harm our environment receives and it comes from the burning of fuel. As well as pollution being created, global warming, which is a huge debate in today’s society, is also caused by burning fossil fuels (Rinkesh “What are fossil fuels”). Not only does it damage our environment, but it causes health problems for its wildlife and our own lives. These hazardous effects will have a long term duration and require a cleaner solution and that is natural resources (Rinkesh “What are...

...Meat vs Vegetarian: the War of Strong Opinions The question whether the views of people with strong but scientifically unsupported opinions should be given prominence equal to those with compelling scientific evidence in the decades-long battle of ‘conclusive evidence’ between the Meat and the Veg camp, seems to have surfaced again in the debate. On one hand, there is always a moral choice camp for whom vegetarianism and veganism are choices of non-violence towards animals. PETA is the biggest advocate for moral vegetarianism and much alike other followers of this principle, is not too much concerned with the ultimate healthiness of the food choice, as long as it does not involve killings. “Soy sausages and “Fib Ribs to Tofurky jerky and mock lobster” that PETA is citing as its meat alternatives, do not sound too ingredient-friendly. On the other hand, people choosing vegetarian or meat diet for its health-related advantages are faced with dire straits of scientific burden of proof because health is a long-term domain of high science. ‘Compelling scientific evidence’ appears to be a strong word sequence with almost magical powers, practically an idiom, but, of course, it has to be handled carefully. In many examples of bad or ‘yellow’ journalism, the phrase “British [American, sometimes on gets Chinese for exoticism] scientists have discovered” often validates, or at least serves as modality qualifier for the stories with unchecked or altogether invented facts.’...

...Plagiarism Not Fit for School Plagiarism is part of an existing problem of academic dishonesty. A third of high school students acknowledge copying from the internet for a paper (Facts & Stats). We live in an age where information is freely available. The internet has made that possible, also making cheating a task that is easily accomplished. People download music and movies the same way they can download a term paper. You can download a song, burn it to a CD, and put it in your car and listen to it without any realistic consequences. So why can’t you borrow a few lines from an article and put them in your paper without acknowledging the source? Turns out a lot of students do this. The same as downloading music, they don’t suffer any realistic consequences. Plagiarism is “the act of using another person's words or ideas without giving credit to that person” (Merriam-Webster). According to this definition, plagiarism extends far beyond just academia or writing. It is also prevalent in TV and radio. One notable case is joke theft. George Lopez, a Mexican-American comedian, confronted fellow comedian Carlos Mencia for stealing his jokes (Joke Theft). The act of joke theft amongst comedians has been around as long as stand up comedy has been popular. TV and radio broadcasters plagiarize every day. They read a story on the air without acknowledging the source. I think this form of plagiarism is actually borderline criminal. They are making a profit off of the information they are...

...assist the coherent demodulation of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols. Based on the comparison of several exiting different channel estimation algorithms, we propose a joint time-frequency two-dimensional iterative Wiener filter (IWF) channel estimation algorithm for 3GPP LTE downlink system. In this scheme, we first apply the linear minimum mean square error (LMMSE) algorithm based on singular value decomposition (SVD) for IWF in frequency domain, and then the values after the first filtering in frequency domain are used to achieve the second IWF in time domain. Comparing to the conventional algorithms, the channel estimation algorithm proposed by this paper brings up lower bit error rate (BER) and adds little computational complexity. I. I NTRODUCTION In December 2004, the Third Generation Partnership Program (3GPP) members started a feasibility study on the enhancement of the Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (UTRA) in the aim of continuing the long time frame competitiveness of the 3G Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) technology beyond High Speed Packet Access (HSPA). This project is called Long Term Evolution (LTE) [1]. Using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) on the air interface as multiple access technology for the downlink, 3GPP LTE takes place of Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) which is applied to UMTS for a long time. At the same time, 3GPP LTE uses...

...crime. Crime happens all over the world, but can be the result of many things. In lower income areas or places in poverty, the risk of committing a crime is lower and has more meaning for the people committing it. In areas of higher population and higher income, crime might occur because of an event in that area that triggered the crime to take place, rather than committing a crime for personal gain. In a research paper, it was stated, “the evidence presented so far suggests that, from a cross-country perspective, there is a robust correlation between the incidence of crimes and the extent of income inequality”(Fajnzylber et al. 2002). This was a study from the world bank, and they had...

...down the middle, mom on one side, dad the other, with the child equally divided between. It was like when you ripped a piece of paper into two: no matter how you tried, the seams never fit exactly right again. It was what you couldn't see, those tiniest of pieces, that were lost in the severing, and their absence kept everything from being complete.” - Sarah Dessen Throughout the United States divorce has increasingly risen in the past years. “In 2000, 49% of US marriages ended in divorce” (Gianoulis). Children everywhere are becoming the products of broken families; caught in between a mommy and daddy, when before, there was no choice. Before, all there was was comfort, familiarity and stability. Although divorce may seem like the best option in an unhappy situation, the affects on the children’s emotional state can be harmful. These effects are emotionally, psychological, academically, socially, and economically damaging. To begin, in a study by Laumann-Billings and Emery they found that children of divorce suffer emotionally. This allows for new generations of broken families to be made. The saying “the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree” would apply. In the article, Divorce by Brackett and Woolly, the authors say approximately 400,000 of the estimated million cases of divorce a year result in children being “emotionally disturbed.” Research shows 90% of situations involving divorce result in women gaining custody of the children. This too, can have negative effects...
