...One of the many popular theories of space and time that people like to explore is that of the “Alternate Timeline”. It is the type of idea that boggles and stimulates the brain to the point of exhaustion or inspiration. The idea that there are multiple versions of our history, and especially of us, is one that entices science fiction readers, intrigues the space enthusiast, and mystifies the generally curious. Part of this alternate timeline theory is the emphasis of the “Butterfly Effect”, which implies that all events that occur- around our individual person and across the globe- happen for a reason and have a specific result or consequence. For example, if the catastrophe that wiped out the dinosaurs never occurred or struck another planet,...

Step 5: You should see a GREEN line appear just above the transition on the Timeline, which means the transition has been applied and you can view it now. (If there's a RED line above the transition instead of a green line, that means you'll need to render the transition before you can play and view it.) (You also can make changes in your transition by double clicking on the transition in the Timeline.) *You can change the duration of the cross fade.* Step 6: To do that, you should double click on the transition.

...Ed Malinowski 11/10/10 Process Essay Importing video into iMovie There are many different video-editing computer programs out there ranging from amateur to professional. Their level of complexity is usually reflected in the price. But I have found, for my simple needs, that nothing beats the interface of iMovie 2. Even though the program came out nearly ten years ago, it still offers a streamlined performance that remains compatible with popular movie formats in use today. I am still able to import video, if it can play in QuickTime, edit it, import and add up to two audio tracks, add transitions to video, edit audio, fade in or out, and export the completed movie into many different formats. I will explain how I do it so that if you’re interested, you can do it too. First you need a few materials. Naturally, you need a Macintosh computer running at least Mac OS 9. If you’ve bought a Mac in the last ten years, it’ll probably be 9 or higher anyway. Next, you need the program iMovie 2. I bought the disc secondhand off of ebay for only ten dollars, but you may be able to find it available as freeware online. Next, you need to also have QuickTime 7 Pro, also available free...

Introduction The Affordable Care Act (ACA) as signed on March 23, 2010 by President Barack Obama with the purpose to provide complete health insurance that will; hold insurance companies’ accountable, decrease the cost of healthcare, guarantee more choices, coverage expansion, and enhance the quality of care for all Americans (ACA History, 2016). The affordable care Act is comprised of two separate pieces of legislation; Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (ACA History, 2016). How ACA Came to Existence For the last 75 years democratic Presidents had attempted to create a nationwide insurance system but they were all unsuccessful. In 2009 was the first year of Obama’s presidency and the house of Democrats introduced a plan of 1,000-page plan with the intention to overhaul the healthcare system on July 14th causing a raged debate on the topic (ACA History, 2016).

...has indeed brought us closer together, albeit in a virtual manner, and by doing so has impacted our culture since it provides a platform for sharing intimate information with those near and far away. Many people feel more comfortable engaging over the internet and through social media -- many times a virtual interaction aides an interpersonal relationship. But the Facebook platform was missing something in its first few years as individual postings had no organizing feature other than when they were uploaded. What was needed is something known as “timeline.” In general terms, timeline is an automatic organizing algorithm which takes a user’s content and arrays it chronologically. The embedding of timeline into Facebook’s platform affected users by emphasizing every piece of data that is posted, thereby, amplifying fabricated material which in turn draws more people to a user and to Facebook. The addition of the “timeline” into Facebook’s platform has changed the users view about “sharing” as it sometimes leads to dramatizing personal information which increases a...

... Ethical hacking is an accepted hacking method of network security systems for a particular business or corporation. Ethical Hacking has provided network security administrators with the knowledge they need to continually keep their network secure. With this method of penetration testing, you can see that there is no negative effect on a business or corporation’s network security. The ethical hacker must first receive authorization. If authorization is not obtained, ethical hacking can be considered a federal offense punishable by a prison sentence of no less than five years (Computer Hacking Law & Legal Definition). “The authorization can be as simple as an internal memo or e-mail from your boss if you're performing these tests on your own systems. If you're testing for a client, have signed contracts in place, stating the client's support and authorization” (Beaver). Once authorization has been made you will need to develop a strategy that you will follow. Your strategy is the basis of how you will be conducting either password cracks or penetration tests. You will need to know what system you will be testing, what are the risks, your timeline to complete the tests, knowledge of the system you will be working with, and what preparations will be engaged if vulnerabilities are exposed. After you have compiled your strategy...

...Risk Management Breakdown Structure Paper Gregory Lockett CPMGT/302 Procurement and Risk Management Petula Brown July 6, 2015 Overview TechnoToday has held a place among top manufacturing companies in the United States for several years. However, due to increased competition and customer demand management has decided to implement some changes. The primary change to TechnoToday that has been outlined by management is a supplier global expansion project. Management has its eyes set on China as a new supply base. As with any project, the benefits may be obvious but undertaking the project also comes with its fair share of risks. Objectives and Resources In an effort to remain a leader in the global market, TechnoToday has made the decision to expand its supply base into China. Accomplishing this goal, however, can be a daunting task. A global supply chain needs to be agile and robust in order to meet the needs of multiple markets while simultaneously handling ever changing needs. A supply chain needs to be responsive to customer and organizational needs in terms of products as well as sourcing, manufacturing, transport, environmental and human resource relations. A global expansion project entails much more than simply setting up shop in another country, but luckily there are a number of tools available to help streamline the process. There are multiple resources that can be utilized to aid in the international transition. Historical data and records, for example,...

...Realism into Impressionism: Relationship, Characteristics and Style of the Movements Western Governors University IWT1 Task 1 Realism into Impressionism: Relationship, Characteristics and Style of the Movements Throughout time, people have expressed themselves through art in many different forms. Whether it is architecture, literature, music or visual arts; the art form is influenced by the artist, their experiences, imagination, surrounding cultures and history. Some art movements are a drastic change from previous movements, whereas others carry on characteristics from other movements or revive a movement from centuries earlier. It was not uncommon for different genres to exist during the same time periods. Romanticism, Realism, Pictorialism, Impressionism, Art Nouveau, and Victorian Photography were all movements that existed in the 19th century and early 20th century. (MindEdge 3.03; 2014) Some of these movements were an escape or a rebellion against the norm of mythological or glorified subject matters. Two movements whose painters are often times considered to be members of both genres are the Realism and Impressionism movements, such as Edouard Manet and Edward Degas. However, what influenced one movement was not necessarily the reasons for the characteristics, style or subject choices of the other. Visual art and artists, during the mid to late 1800’s to the early 1900’s, observed many changes take place in France. The changes experienced with the...

...Affirmative Action is very just, its purpose being to equalize the education and economic gap between minorities and whites. Although it is not a perfect method to achieving equality in this country, it is essential to accept it for why it’s been put into place and that it is all part of a process. Of course affirmative action is far from perfect and has a fair deal of problems, like promoting reverse discrimination while backing up negative stereotypes. I researched all of these aspects while pondering the question “is affirmative action still needed in today’s society?” In this paper I will be explaining what affirmative action is.The history behind affirmative action like how it all unfolded, who made it, and the history as to why it is in effect now. I will also list some pros and cons of affirmative action, how the United States could better affirmative action for the future and finally a conclusion, which is my opinion on the topic. But what exactly is affirmative action? Born of the civil rights movement three decades ago, affirmative action calls for minorities and women to be given special consideration in employment and education acceptance decisions. Universities with affirmative action policies generally set goals to increase diversity. Affirmative action decisions are generally not supposed to be based on quotas, nor are they supposed to give any preference to unqualified candidates. And by no means is affirmative action supposed to harm anyone through "reverse discrimination...
