Starting with Bourbon Street of New Orleans, this book moves to the dismal industrial facilities in the tax-exempt…
The historical and cultural references in Max Horkheimer and Theodor Adorno's "The Culture Industry" and Walter Benjamin's "The Work of Art in the Age of Its Technological Reproducibility" are subtle but nonetheless fundamental. I began the research process by perusing through both writings to find references applicable to my papers. That is, I tried to find references that substantiated and bolstered the points I made in Midterm Paper 1. I found eight references that were suitable for further…
There are different meanings for each word that is said in a language. Especially the English language. While Precession may have been looked at as angles of torque for physics or body mechanics; in astronomy precession refers to any of several slow changes in an astronomical body's rotational or orbital parameters. An example would be the steady change in the orientation of the axis of rotation of the Earth. How the earth rotates and what angle it is at changes many things. The sky we see today…

This article is about how the companies feel really hard to change their customer behavior to green consumption. Some examples of green consumption currently promoted by them are to recycle products or packages, to drive more slowly, or to wash clothes in cold water. However, many people still use hot water even though the detergents are already developed to wash clothes in cold water. Also, some people are still unwilling to sort their waste and recycle them. As a company itself, they have…
Reference Frames were evident when Amanda came to the table to talk. A reference frame is similar to a reference point, it is how “potential outcomes are coded as either gains or losses” (Schweitzer & DeChurch, 2001, pg 101), to a given party. It was decided to bring in someone new to the negotiation because…
Interestingly, unsuspecting operations like 4k aliasing seem to have an impact on performance of hotspot functions. One obvious solution is to increase cache associated with the CPU to reduce cache misses. Implementing IQA algorithms with locality of reference in mind, helps avoid cache misses. Another solution is to divide images into parts. Perform all operations on that part while in cache and then move to next part. Memory overhead caused due to DTLB can be reduced by using large pages…
A reference group is a group of people that we compare ourselves to and base what we do, how we do it and how we behave. A reference group is any group that a person uses as a standard such as athletes, musicians, church, military and business organizations. Any group of people can be a reference group, negatively or positively, as long as you use them to base yourself off of in some way. One real life example that affected how I feel about myself was my Boy Scout Troop and more specifically…
One of the most common questions asked to kids is “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Many times in response to this kids will answer with a typical dream job: “I want to be a Firefighter!” However, we can look at that same kid twenty years down the road and find them in a cubicle slaving over spread sheets as opposed to bursting into burning buildings to save lives. The question is why? Why would someone give up his exciting dream job in favor of something so monotonous and ordinary? If…
