...movie The Wizard of Oz? When I was a little girl, the movie would fill living rooms across America every fall, on a Sunday night, with the magical story of the yellow brick road and the trip to Oz. I would look forward to it for weeks; we would sit down as a family with big bowls of hot buttered popcorn and watch the 2-hour adventure of a girl from Kansas unfold. Recently, my granddaughter received a pair of ruby sequined slippers. Suddenly she was tapping her feet and trying to figure out how to make the shoes transport her to another land. She became very curious about the story and wanted to learn more about Dorothy and her little dog Toto. As an adult grandparent watching the movie, and by...

...field, I would consider this article to have strong authority. Coverage is also exhibited since Boyatzis provides references to other credible resources, and is concise about the topic he is covering (Walsh, Pezalla, & Marshall, 2014). Boyatzis’s thesis in the article is that by crossing disciplines, such as neuroscience and business management, we can “expand our theories and find new directions for out scholarly work” (Boyatzis, 2014, p. 303). From his thesis, I would consider the paper to be objective by also being opinionated in an appropriate, professional manner. The resources cited in the paper are all current; the oldest reference was from 2007, which is five years within the published date of this paper. However, due to the briefness of the article, there were only nine cited references. Also, since this article takes on a more opinionated approach, it doesn’t include more than just an abstract, body, and summary. However, Boyatzis makes sure to refer to various studies around the research...

...The purpose of this paper is to accurately and critically analyze the major changes of technology throughout the film industry’s history. As two college students majoring in computer and technological fields, we feel that it is imperative to understand how cameras and technology and evolved and their effects on the film industry. Although the growth of technology in the film industry may seem of concern to only film makers, it should in fact concern anyone who cares about the future of the cinematography and/or television. Innovations in film technology have undoubtedly shaped the film industry into what it is today. As two college students majoring in computer and technological fields, we feel that it is imperative to understand how cameras and technology have evolved, and their effects on film production. Utilizing what we have learned in class and multiple sources of research, we will critically analyze the major changes in film technology history. The world’s first films produced were black and white, but even to make a black and white film, several important inventions were required. These inventions needed to record video, store the recording, and produce enough lighting to be able to see the scene. In 1893, Thomas Edison introduced the Kinetograph and Kinetoscope to the public, which may have been the largest innovation in film technology (Movie History). The Kinetograph was the first motion picture camera, and was combined with the Kinetoscope which housed a lamp and...

...Final Paper Ashford University Introduction to Literature ENG 125 The difference between a poem and a short story starts with the structure but ends in the same way- their meanings and themes to tell the readers aim one thing, to entertain. For poems, the readers gets drawn to it through the different and interesting rhythms used in writing and reading them while for short stories, the characters, the settings and the plot of the story is what makes it interesting for readers. According to literature experts, creating a good plot with interesting settings is not enough for a story to be read but it also needs the reader’s imagination. Every reader can have their own visualization of what they are reading and sometimes, what they see and the way they interpret what they read might be different from the interpretation that the author want them to have. For example, the poem entitled “The Road Not Taken” and the short narratives entitled “A Worn Path” and “Used to Live Here Once” all have the same theme but when read together by different people and asked what do they think of the stories, they might give different descriptions. These stories and poem deal with one thing which is the main character’s journey towards the unknown and how the main character made decisions that will change the course their lives forever and their loved ones. The stories are presented in different ways. For Robert Frost, he presented his poem’s...

...Expert System Robert Savageau CIS 501 ABSTRACT In the creation of an Expert System the knowledge base is in the center of it all. Understanding the process which is done through identifying, conceptualizing, formalizing, implementing, and testing followed by reiterating the stages thereby insuring knowledge acquisitioned is in its totality. There are many knowledge elicitation techniques and their success is in choosing the right method(s) used for the knowledge being acquired. The five general stages of knowledge acquisition will be discussed, as will a few knowledge elicitation methods. It is not the intent of this paper in giving a complete listing and discourse of elicitation methods, rather an introduction of knowledge acquisition design steps and methods of elicitation. Knowledge Acquisition is extracting the knowledge from any source and Knowledge Elicitation deals with attaining that knowledge specifically from people (Burge, 1998). There five general stages in knowledge acquisition giving knowledge engineers (KE) certain activities preparing the knowledge /deliverables from that stage to be used as input in the next (Marakas, p246). Hayes-Roth (1983) as referenced by Marakas (2003) and by De Kock (2003) views knowledge acquisition as consisting of five stages, having the output from one stage becoming the input for the next consecutive stage. The five stage model is a reiterative process of constant improvement and fine tuning to ensure the systems correctness...
