Capturing Influential Philosophy To illustrate the philosophical ideas which I consider most significant in Ansel Adams’s work, I created two photographs of my own (see fig. 1 and 2). I took both of the images in the Great Smoky Mountains. With the help of these photos, I tried to reflect the philosophical concepts of environmentalism, which advocate the preservation and conservation of nature in its original form rather than altering it for people’s convenience. Moreover, too frequently, nature is changed not for some good causes, such as the need to make roads, but merely because people are too lazy to clear up the garbage they produce. As a result, it becomes impossible to enjoy the beauty of landscapes without having to observe destroyed or littered pieces of nature. I attempted to organize the content of my photographs in a way expressing the philosophical ideas of environmentalism. In the first image (see fig. 1), I arranged the details in the composition to guide the observer through the place I captured by the camera. With the help of the play of the light and shadow, I gained the effect of vivacity and cheerfulness. At the same time, dark trees, situated approximately in the middle of the composition’s horizon, present a feeling of alertness and the fear of something undiscovered. In the second image (see fig. 2), a similar approach was employed. I wanted to capture a waterfall in its pristine beauty. It took me much effort to take a photo without people in it. Unfortunately, too many individuals prefer to disturb nature rather than enjoy the contemplation of it. Therefore, I exploited capture techniques and then used editing tools in industry-standard software to highlight the impact of Adam’s philosophical ideas on my work. Fig. 1. My own photo #1 Fig. 2. My own photo #2 Enduring Influence An Artist Statement The photos I took for the project reflect my inner world. I am convinced that the beauty of the nature around us is meant to be untouched and deserves to be treasured not destroyed. To emphasize my feelings and intentions expressed in the first photo (see fig. 1), I will compare it to Ansel Adams’s work entitled “Tetons and Snake River” (see fig. 3). Both images bare not only aesthetic but also historical significance. Adams’s photograph depicts a graceful river winding among the mountains and woods. My photo shows mountains’ peaks and foregrounds along with a line of trees in the middle and a line of plants at the front of the composition. Both of the photos show deep respect and love for nature and its pure beauty that has not been marred by a man’s presence. In both images, the horizon is placed approximately in the top third of the work. Adams’s photograph contains more elements, which makes it more engaging by showing various pieces of nature. However, while my photo has fewer plan
Introduction The authors of the three stories are influenced by strong feministic perceptions to challenge existing social systems that make it difficult for women to advance. The three stories highlight various issues faced by women in different eras before the clamor for women’s rights gained momentum. As a result, women have more inferior social roles compared to men and this makes it difficult for them to attain personal satisfaction. The three authors make readers understand their intent through metaphors and other symbolic representations. Henrik Ibsen’s “A Doll’s House” takes a look at the position of a woman in the domestic setting and how the protagonist makes a lot of sacrifices without her efforts being appreciated. Kate Chopin’s “The Storm” explores how a woman endures an unexciting marriage as she reflects on her past maiden days. Sharon Olds’ “The Victims” discusses divorce and domestic abuse and how these two issues affect the way children in a home grow up. The three authors reveal their inner feelings towards various issues that affect people in societies they are living in. In the “Doll’s House”, Ibsen shows the constant sacrifices Nora has to make to make all family members happy. She reduces the amount of money she spends on herself to make her husband and children live in comfort. She says, “For myself? Oh, I am sure I don’t want anything” (Ibsen 1447) In “The Storm”, Calixta yearns for a more passionate relationship and she feels that her husband is not a perfect match for her. She misses the moments she spent with her lover, Alce who is now married to Clarissa. She is miserable because she is in love with someone else yet social norms forbid a woman from loving another man who is not her husband. In “The Victims”, Olds begins to focus on her dysfunctional American society where divorce is becoming rampant. Through the innocent eyes of a child, she probes the impacts of domestic abuse and parental neglect on family disintegration. How women look for independence The three authors discuss in detail how women look for independence to make their lives more fulfilling. They show their dissatisfaction with unreasonable societal expectations they are required to observe in their homes and communities. In “The Victims” the narrator describes difficulties they endured with their mother when her father was still working and living with them. The narration reveals that the father has failed in his responsibilities and cannot safeguard his family’s wellbeing. She says “She took it and took it in silence, all those years and then kicked you out, suddenly, and her kids loved it” (Olds 1057). The story discusses the dilemma of a child who has to learn various things
Intranet uses the services of World Wide Web technologies so as to distribute information within an organization. It supports a company business processes since it acts as the nervous and circulatory system for the company. It is a private network which comprises of interlinked local networks. The intranet serves the purpose of sharing and distributing company’s information and resources among employees. Intranet uses four types of applications. These include communication and collaboration (send and receive emails, voice mails and paging), web publishing (telephone directories, training material etc), business operations and management and intranet portal management. Organizations have used intranet so as to enhance the flow of organizational knowledge. Also, organizations have exploited it to create business value. Knowledge sharing is the process of information transfer from one individual to another. As a result of its enormous role of new ideas generation, intranet has significantly improved organizational innovation. Employees share information and ideas to the organization computers. Research conducted for the use of networked computers, to support building of knowledge among school students, has provided evidence of the success of this approach, by finding positive aspects to the use of networked computers for this purpose. Intranet has enhanced brainstorming among schools i.e. between teachers (as employees) and students. It is a knowledge management tool in academic library, in South Africa (Schwartz 2006, p.858). The intranet has also been used as a tool to knowledge management in Question Sharing and Interactive assignments for developing and sharing knowledge items. QSIA has enhanced authority collaborations through online recommendations. This has enabled generation of a community of teachers and learners. On the other hand, QSIA has fostered individual learning and has promoted higher-order thinking among its users. Employees have been able to solve various organizational problems through the intranet through question sharing amongst themselves (Awad 2004, p.73). This system uses an open source, open standards, privacy and ease of use, flexibility and multi-community. The intranet also has acted as a web-tool, permitting easy accessibility to various knowledge databases. Such include multimedia that are interactive e.g. music and films and written text. Knowledge sharing by use of intranet has also enabled efficiency in organizations. DUBRA (Dubai Revenue Authority) claims that intranet has made it possible for availability of information and knowledge to most employees. The intranet has capacitated employees to get information that is up-to-date and the officers have been able to keep abreast any development and changes pertaining to the organization. To ease the process and thus evade the tedious process of referr
Arsenic is a semi-metal element in the periodic table which is odorless and tasteless (EPA 1). It occurs naturally in rocks and soil, water, air, and plants and animals. It can be further released into the environment through natural activities such as volcanic action, erosion of rocks, and forest fires, or through human actions. Due to its poisonous nature, Arsenic is considered a serious environmental hazard. There is also evidence for the bioaccumulation of arsenic along the food chain like mercury (Rubin et al 268). Arsenic is also found in synthetic products. Approximately 90 percent of industrial arsenic in the U.S. is currently used as a wood preservative, but arsenic is also used in paints, dyes, metals, drugs, soaps, and semi-conductors (EPA 1). Agricultural applications, mining, and smelting also contribute to arsenic releases in the environment. Arsenic becomes dangerous when it enters drinking water supplies from natural deposits in the earth or from agricultural and industrial practices, transported along the food chain and when it pollutes the air as a by-product of coal burning. In order to protect the country from such arsenic poisoning, there are regulations set by the EPA. Thesis: Arsenic is an hazardous material found both naturally and in man made products and it must be regulated in order to make the earth a safe place to live in. Arsenic has acquired notoriety as a deadly poison. Lung cancer from inhaling arsenic and skin cancer from swallowing it are the two most dangerous effects of arsenic exposure for the general population (H
Introduction Brain constitutes the central nervous system among all the animals with backbones popularly known as the vertebrates. Also, most animals with no backbone have the brain system. Animals like starfish have nervous systems which are not central at all (Armstrong 1983). This substitutes the brain functions. Surprisingly, other small animals like the sponges do not have any nervous system whereas in vertebrates the position of the brain is right in the head. It is surrounded by the skull. The sensory organs of smell, balance, taste, and hearing are also located near the brain in vertebrates. This paper is going to describe the major structures of the brain and the functions of each. The brain structures that are going to be of importance in this discussion include Myelencephalon, Metencephalon, Mesencephalon, Diencephalon and Telencephalon. Myelencephalon This is a very sensitive part of the brain system located in the central nervous system. Medulla oblongata is part of Myelencephalon. In this region, the fourth ventricle plays a key role. Some nerves called glossopharyngeal work alongside the other nerves as well. For example, Armstrong observes that the accessory, vagus and hypoglossal nerves all perform sensitive roles in Myelencephalon. They all work as a unit and none of them is independent in its functioning (1983). This brain part is different from Metencephalon because it is the one that eventually grows into medulla oblongata. When this brain part is about five weeks, it regulates very important body processes such as digestion, blood vessels, and heart working. According to Pechura and Martin (1991) , Myelencephalon also plays the key role of controlling the back and forward movements commonly referred to as peristalsis. Metencephalon This part of the brain is composed of cerebellum and the pons. Some sections of the fourth ventricle are also found here. Critical nervous systems consisting of trigeminal, facial and abducens form an integral sensory system. This part of the brain develops from the back of the brain. The pons control breathing mechanism while cerebellum mainly regulates movement of the muscles. As a result, the shape of the animal body is also co-coordinated by Metencephalon (Yusuf 1992) Mesencephalon This is the middle part of the entire brain structure. It is made up of corpora quadrigemina and ventricular mesocoel. The cerebral peduncles are located here as well. It is considered the backbone of the brain. The optic lobes play an auxiliary role of co-coordinating the numerous fibres found in the optic fibre (Pechuura & Martin 1992). Colliculus, for instance is responsible for eye movements and interpreting any information related to sound. Diencephalons This refers to the front part of the brain and it includes thalamus, epithalamus, prethalamus, pretectum, hypothalamus, and subthalamus (Yusuf 1992). Hypothalamus regulates visceral actions in the brain alongside the nervous system. Telencephalon This part plays the following key roles which include determining character and mental ability, interpreting senses, regulating the sense of touch
Business processing model refers to the manner in which concepts are handled in a firm, as opposed to what is being done. This is the main distinction between this concept and system modeling. It facilitates in deciding the nature of business undertakings, therefore, facilitates competent decision making as pertains to the concepts to be adopted. They record daily activities, making it is easier to determine processes that can be managed easily and those that need upgrading. This concept, if adopted by Wood House Day Spa in Cincinnati, Ohio will be of immense benefit to their undertaking. This firm concentrates on promoting personal health through diet and other fitness activities. Clients are taken through a plethora of training regimes, both in the gym and outdoor events. They undergo regular massage sessions and have access to a spa. In addition to this, Wood House has a retail outlet for their beauty products and food supplements. Since it is a new company, they offer their services at affordable costs and have ambitions of transforming themselves into market leaders. In order to achieve this, it is imperative that they adopt a suitable Internet based business processing model. Business model and Its Importance In order for one to achieve success in online marketing, they should staunchly believe in the philosophy that success relies on consumers, as opposed to purchasers. Computers characterize life for a majority of the populace. With these in mind, they should be willing to avail free information on their products online, since a majority of persons will not be willing to spend on commodities they do not know. The utility model is flexible enough and can serve them well, helping them achieve their goal. It contends that although users consider service a necessity, reliability is essential, and this may limit utilization of capacity. Functional stipulation for Internet use and benefits of a Website Electronic retailing is among the fastest growing online ventures at the moment. By designing a website, they will publicize their products on a large scale, without any restrictions. They also stand a chance of earning proceeds if people will want to advertise on their portal. Wood House can post information about their organization and products on select websites, with links to their portal for further information. They stand to benefit a great deal from this since most people prefer remote shopping. Delivery services can be outsourced from other companies hence keeping their overhead low. Communication with their customers will be swifter and more reliable. They can establish email addresses and premium numbers as to serve as hotlines for use incase of any emergency. Random clients can also be picked to participate in online surveys to help them improve their product and service quality. I
Description of ‘Devil in a Blue dress’ The Whydoneit book Devil in a Blue dress was a stark commentary on racism and its effects on the African-American community in the U.S. after World War Two. It follows the career of Walter Mosley an out-of-work ex-machinist. He is offered a job as an investigator to find Daphne Monet, a white woman who has taken to hiding in the Black community. Mosley has no training or experience as a private investigator but since he has no job and he is unlikely to find one given all the discrimination he suffers he takes the job. Throughout the novel, he descends a dark path of deceit and discrimination that emphasizes the dark world he lived in one that is fraught with racism that thankfully is less severe than what it is today. This paper will focus on the question of Walter Mosley’s racism. In the book’s ending, it is discovered that Daphne Monet is important to the two political parties seeking her because she is not a White Woman at all. She was a Mulatto with African-American ancestors. If this was made public then her being a fiancée of one of the candidates for election would eliminate all his chances of getting elected. All for his association with a Black woman. “Because I was used to white people by 1948” is a statement he made at the very beginning of the book. It is worth pointing out that in the novel, World War II has just been concluded, the post-war boom is about to end. Black and White soldiers now fought together in the same unit instead of Blacks being segregated into separate units. However, back home in America Racism was still in full swing. Less than 100 years ago the grandparents of the African Americans were still toiling away enslaved to the white man. Martin Luther King jr. had not yet begun his civil rights movement for equality. In other words, the Black man or the African-American was still a downtrodden individual. If Mosley sounded like a racist against Whites it is only because he was the victim of severe discrimination. His negative attitude towards Caucasians is a reaction to their disdain. To call him a racist is to call a man who killed in self-defense a murderer. “I hate white people, and colored people too, for making me that way” and I decided to milk all those white people for all the money they’d let go of” a
Introduction Immediately after the development of the art and craft style, the field of design changed significantly, and ass such, new and better products surfaced. The main aim of establishing the art as well as craft style was to search not only an aesthetic design but also decoration. In addition to this, it was started as a way for reacting against machine-produced styles. In the old days, craft products were elementary in form and did not have superfluous decorations. Kettley & Smyth (2011) “asserted that the expectation in designing the method was that with increased physicality in the mode of representation, involving more of the senses the perception of materiality would be increased. In other words, the participants would exhibit both conceptual and sensory understanding more fully, and be more inclined to attribute the design with potential for personal meaning and authenticity” (7). Today, craft aesthetic has been fully realized, and this is evidenced in every product being produced. It is traceable in Contemporary products, interiors, communications as well as media among other fields. The implication of this is that; they are authentic products of a maker or a designer. According to many research studies, while some designs are identified as being products of designers or makers, as well as small studios, others results from large corporations and industrial productions (Engestrom 2005). Using three examples of contemporary designs that incorporate the aspect of actual hand craft, that is; film, title sequence as well as music clip, this paper will focus on explaining the elements of their aesthetic and production that convey the contribution of their designer. In addition to this, the paper will identify how these elements speak about authenticity and even sustainability of the products (Knight &Thomas 2012). Discussion With regard to film, title sequence as well as music clips, there are several elements of authenticity contained in them that depict the contribution of the producer. In order to understand these, it is essential that each product is assessed. One example of contemporary design that incorporates the aspect of actual handcraft is films production. “Films incorporate the aspect of nostalgic impulses, and as such it increases the film’s authenticity and production” (Campbell 2009). Nostalgia refers to sentimentally longing for the old and past typically with regard to place or period in which there were personal associations. Therefore, nostalgic impulse in contemporary films refers to a situation where the maker of the film produces a film basing it on events of another film, which was produced long time ago (Engestrom 2005). Recalling appealing scenes in a classic film and incorporating them in a modern film increase both the value and desirability of the
