Open Source Software and its benefits for a country like Nepal.
Open Software: Lottery for Nepalese ?Arzun Bastola Class:10 I was on a seminar few months back when I used Open Software for the first time. I had heard about the Open Software before though I hadn't used. This day really was a good day for me. Had I not attended the seminar, I would just go on using the pirated Operating System. When I first knew that Linux was one of the most powerful operating system, which came complete free and an Open Source then few of my friends decided to do everything in Open Software which could be photos designing to website development. It was tough in beginning as there were no place where we could actually learn Linux. We were guided by Sagar Chhetri and Hempal Shrestha, who are working as FOSS experts in Nepal. With their help we were able to use the Linux in an important way. That is how I got involved into it. In the seminar within, I was conned about the importance of Open Software to poor people like we Nepalese. I then knew that it was a kind of lottery like to us because we shouldn't have to pay even a single coin for the softwares which were so designed that they could be used to do any kind of works as the closed softwares like Windows and others do. Open Software have very big benefit especially in a country like Nepal. The first benefit is that, Nepal still being very little exposed to the IT field compared to the western world,
"Catfish" Analysis. This documentary was made by Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman. Both begun filming Nevs life as soon as they sensed a story unfolding in the late 2007.
Media Text: Catfish 'Catfish' is a story that follows a young photographer Nev Schulman who lives with his friend Henry Joost and his brother Ariel in New York. Oddly an eight-year-old girl named Abby from Michigan sends him a painting of one of his photographs, which she had made by herself. They later become friends on Facebook, which gives him access to Abby's family: her mother Angela, her husband Vince and her attractive older half sister Megan whom he starts a relationship with. As he begins to get to know more and more about Abby's family, there are things, which do not add up and create suspicion amongst Nev, Ariel and Henry. Finally they leave off to Michigan in order to find out the deserved truth. This documentary was made by Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman. Both begun filming Nev's life as soon as they sensed a story unfolding in the late 2007. None of them had the slightest idea that this particular project will lead to the most unsettling months of their lives. All characters in this film are claimed to be real this includes Angela who has been interviewed by ABC's 20/20 and the Los Angeles Times who have spoken with her neighbors and most importantly her family. Personally it additionally reminds of a documentary made in 2007 about child art 'My Kid Could Paint That' by Amir Bar-Lev. In which the movie follows the initial artistic career of a young girl Marla
'In general, the criminal law prohibits the doing of harm but does not impose criminal liability for omission to act' Asses the truth of this statement and the arguments used to justify it.
'In general, the criminal law prohibits the doing of harm but does not impose criminal liability for omission to act' Asses the truth of this statement and the arguments used to justify it. Criminal liability is rarely imposed for true omissions at common law, though there are situations where a non - lawyer would consider that there has been an omission but in law it will be treated as an act and liability will be imposed. There are also situations where the accused has a duty to act, and in these cases there may be liability for a true omission. Well it must be first being decided that whether in law they are dealing with an act or an omission. However, there are three situations where this question arises: continuing acts, supervening faults and euthanasia. The concept of continuing acts was used in Fragan V Metropolitan Police Commissioner (1969) to allow what seemed to be an omission to be treated as an act. The defendant was told by a police officer to park his car close to the kerb; he obeyed the order, but in doing so he accidentally drove his car on the constable's foot. The constable shouted, 'Get off, you are on my foot.' The defendant replied, 'Fuck you, you can wait', and turned off the ignition. He was convinced of assaulting the constable in the execution of his duty. This offence requires an act; an omission is not sufficient. The defendant appealed

The Electromagnetic Spectrum.
A2 Physics Coursework Almost all the information about the known universe comes from different types of waves. Most of what we could originally see was made up of visible light. Visible light is made up of Blue, Green and Red light. Each colour has a different wavelength and when combined for a white light. What we can see (visible light has a wavelength of between 400 to 700 nm) only represents a very small proportion of the light spectrum (known as the electromagnetic spectrum). There are many other forms of electromagnetic waves we can't see. Radio waves have wavelengths billions of time longer than those of visible light. They are used to transmit radio and television signals and can range from less than a centimeter to hundreds of meters. Inferred again has a longer wavelength than visible light however shorter the radio waves. Although invisible to the naked eye we can often feel them in the form of heat. Ultra violet is shorter than visual light ranging from having a wavelength of 400nm to 10 nm. The shorter a wavelength is the higher amount of energy it contains. This is why UV light from the sun can damage your skin. X-rays are also very high-energy waves and can be dangerous when exposed to them for long periods of time. Gamma waves are less than 10 trillionths of a meter and are even more penetrating then X-rays. The electromagnetic spectrum is not only measure
Critical evaluation of whether certain assumptions are present in Erikson's psychosocial development theory and how important these assumptions are in the context of South Africa.
Course: Development Psychology Essay Topic: Critical evaluation of whether certain assumptions are present in Erikson's psychosocial development theory and how important these assumptions are in the context of South Africa. Word count: 1118 (excluding reference list) Three assumptions present in developmental theories, as mentioned by Duncan, van Niekerk and Mufumadi (2003) will be described in a concise fashion. The assumptions, 'development follows a predictable pattern', 'human beings are resilient', and 'development is a function of the interaction between innate and environmental functions', will also be examined insofar as they relate to the issues and concepts of Erikson's theory. Furthermore, these assumptions and the theoretical concepts of Erikson's theory will be discussed in terms of their importance in a South African context. Interwoven with this, is the argument that although Erikson's theory has validity in certain instances, it relies on specific assumptions to hold true, and is ultimately convincing and applicable only within a definite societal context. Duncan et al (2003) mention the assumption 'human development follows a predictable pattern'. What they mean is physical, cognitive and psychosocial processes of development in humans tend to follow a particular trend. This assumption is reflected in Erikson's socioemotional theory, as evidenced by

Teenage Criminals.
Vanessa Grigoleit English 11 Teenage Criminals There are many reasons, why young people to become criminals. Detectives argue until today about which is the principal reason for the criminality of young people. Finding these reasons can be very difficult since there are always different reasons for each individual case. The most important reasons are drugs, acceptance, and parental neglect. A trip for juvenile delinquency is the increasing drug consumption. Never was it this easy for teens to get a hold of hard drugs, this is because on class journeys, school celebrations, in Clubs and when the parents don't really watch their kids or aren't even interested. On one hand there is a great amount of influence of alcohol on teens and on the other there is peer pressure and the teens aggressive behavior. If there was a stricter law an alcohol consume, the amount of aggressive teens would go down. Alcohol is know as a people drug. On the other side a lot of teens commit crimes in order to finance their drug consumption. Young teens have the need to be in a group. Don't all teens want to feel important of popular? Teens in high school always want to be accepted and recognized. There is always the popular group in a high school that other kids may look up too. If this thought is the obsession of a teen, it could possibly also cause violent and aggressive behavior. Parental

Comparisons of "I look into my glass" and "mirror". I have compared the two poems "Mirror" by Sylvia Plath and "I look into my glass" by Thomas Hardy. I believe "Mirror" is about a mirror describing an old woman's reflection, she can't accept they way that she looks "whatever I see I swallow immediately" and is sad. "I look into my glass" is about an old man who looks at himself and believes he is dieing, he knows he has grown old. "Mirror" is about an old woman's reflection and how the mirror thinks she looks unhappy and depressed. "In me she has drowned a young girl," here she says her young self has drowned, which implies it's died and only the old in her is left. Sylvia also says that the little girl who used to look into the mirror is gone and her old self rises to the mirror "like a terrible fish". This shows how much Sylvia hates her self. In the poem we get a sense of time like she has been sat looking at the mirror for a while as the poem says things like "over and over" and "day after day". While reading "Mirror" the audience considers the mental state Sylvia was in when she split up with her husband, Ted Hughes and how she was on the edge from her father's death as a child. This makes the reader believe that the poem is about Sylvia Plath's life. I believe that the beginning of the poem describes Sylvia as a young woman who is beautiful and popular. "unmisted
