Sylvia Plath - Lesbos
INTRO Lesbos is a poem by Sylvia Plath written in 1962, after her divorce with her then husband Ted Hughes. The poem was written in response to her ex-husband's affair with Assia Wevill. Through the use of emotive language, metaphors and imagery, Sylvia Plath shows negative feelings towards the mistress and thereby portrays the mistress in a negative light. These devices, as well as portraying the mistress negatively, also show a contrast between Plath's home-life and the mistress' illicit relationship with Ted Hughes, Plath's then husband. FIRST ARGUMENT Sylvia Plath utilises emotive language in Lesbos in order to portray the mistress in a negative light and to display her hate of her. By portraying the mistress' life as hell, "The smog of cooking, the smog of hell Floats our heads, two venemous opposites," (Lines 35-36) Sylvia Plath intends to voice to the reader that the mistress' life is hell for Plath. By utilising a high modality word like "hell" Plath intends to insist that the mistress is a bad person. By using "venomous" to describe the difference between Plath and the mistress, Plath immediately implies that the mistress is dangerous and has a bad influence on anything she encounters. Furthermore, Plath utilises emotive language to portray the mistress as not having her priorities straight, thereby insisting that the mistress doesn't care about her children
Hamlet First Soliloquy Analysis
Analysis of Hamlets First Soliloquy The first soliloquy witnessed in Act one, scene two, from lines 133 to 164 by Hamlet is an ardent speech that brings about the true character of Hamlet to light. Who till now was not portraying himself truly, especially when around his uncle, Claudius be it through superficial dialogues or actions. So, this soliloquy is significant as it is this speech that reveals the origins or the reasons for hamlet's severe depression. Weariness, despair, nausea and loathing are some of the subtext in Hamlet's soliloquy used to underline the more significant emotions.. Anger and disgust are two of the emotions that he uses to reason why he feels so dejected. Hamlet is disgusted by the marriage of his mother to his uncle, Claudius, grieves his father's death and lastly is aghast in relation to the current scenario he is in and also the value of his life. In his soliloquy, it is revealed that he has no plans on becoming or wanting to be king. Rather he is obsessed truly with his family matters: his father, uncle and mother. For Hamlet, his father was everything and hence with his death, Hamlet had gone into a state of severe depression. To the point that, while grieving his father's death. He had contemplated on taking his own life or suicide in other words. Reasoning himself with the idea that it would allow him with the, "spiritual release" that he
ITGS Portfolio 1 - Laptops in Education
Portfolio 1 Title Laptops for every student: Are we ready? News Item PTI, 2006, "Laptop must for higher education, says panel." http://www.rediff.com/news/2006/oct/12quota.htm [12 October 2006] Area of Impact Education Word Count 998 Name Siddharth Kothari Session No. 002798-006 A - Presentation Of The Issue Laptops are the entry devices to get connected to the knowledge world in cyberspace, and a mindset change is definitely needed for this to be accepted (PTI, 2006). Reports show that the usage of laptops leads to increase in student engagement, determined by higher attendance and fewer disciplinary problems. However, students can also get distracted and use laptops for purposes not relevant to class (Weisenbach, 2006). Many colleges have already documented problems with a "wall of laptops" facing teachers (Dawson, 2006). Huge efforts are also needed to make such initiatives successful, such as teaching students and teacher's ethical computer behavior and identifying and tracking each machine before distribution (Chute, 2000). Provision of laptops for every student will help to bridge the divide between the rich and the poor across the developing worlds (Witchalls, 2005). Exposing the poorer section of students to technology will better their quality of education, perhaps eliminating poverty and

World Lit Assignment 1
Sir Francis Bacon once declared, "If money be not thy servant, it will be thy master. The covetous man cannot so properly be said to possess wealth, as that may be said to possess him." Sir Francis Bacon's comment regarding money proves true in all facets of society, whether it be the upper class, or the lower end of society, money is an object that motivates people of all levels to act in ways that may not always be typical. A lot of the time, the actions motivated by money result in detrimental outcomes, for the pursuer of money and every being in its path. In Sophocles' Antigone, and Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House, the protagonists have obsessions and fixations on money throughout the play. Money serves as a key literary element in the two plays alike. Both Sophocles and Ibsen employ money as a motif to elucidate the motivations for actions that have detrimental outcomes for the protagonists. In the dramas of Antigone and A Doll's House the motif of money is evident throughout the plot of each play. When Nora and Torvald Helmer discuss the issue of what Nora wants Torvald to get her for Christmas, Nora suggest NORA: "You could give me money, Torvald. . . . Then I could hang the bills in pretty gilt paper on the Christmas tree. Wouldn't that be fun?" (Ibsen, Act I) At this point in the play, Nora's reason for her obsession with money is unknown; therefore we cannot
ringtones. If a cell phone is fairly new it almost undoubtedly is capable of loading any ringtones and probably already has a good supply of notes in its memory already.
Ringtones are more easily understood when you understand how cell phones work. The brain of the cell phone is its microprocessor. Ringtones work with your cell phone's microprocessor and memory to create a distinctive musical presentation when someone calls your phone. Your phone, much like your computer, uses its microprocessor to tell it what to do and control all it does and works with memory where the programs are stored. Ringtones are individual programs for your phone that get placed into your cell phone memory to be brought out by the microprocessor when your phone receiver gets the message that a call is coming in. If a cell phone is fairly new it almost undoubtedly is capable of loading any ringtones and probably already has a good supply of notes in its memory already. What the ringtone program needs to do is just tell the microprocessor to use a selected speed, selected notes and in a selected order to make the ringtone you have chosen. These notes can be varied so much when using these features that you have a vast number of ringtone options for your phone. Your cell phone just needs that program loaded to it to play your favorite ringtone. You have to know how to do that, although it's not difficult. There are so many choices of ringtones and first you need to choose one of them. Selections are found on any number of Internet sites including your own cell phone
SWA global warming
Letter from the Future December 21, 2012 Dear someone, You may not know me but I have an important message to give you. First of all, my name is Jesus, and as you may have noticed, this letter was sent from the future. I know it's hard to believe but this letter has come to your hands for a reason. First let me tell you a little bit about the world I live on, which can no longer be called planet Earth, since it looks like a completely different world. There is no beauty in this world; you can only see fear and destruction. We experience continuous diseases, deaths and natural disasters. You can't longer live a happy life. As you may have also suspected, our technology has developed that much to allow us send this letter two years in time; In so little time so much has happened. You may be asking yourself right now how come we are able to send a letter to the past but not to stop global warming with our technology. The answer is simple; at this point, our planet Earth has come to an irreversible state. It's too late to fix all the destruction we have caused, not even our finest technology would help to do so. There is a widespread fear of what will happen to us now; some say it's the end of the world, but more incredibly is to know that there are still people who refuse to believe in global warming despite the obvious consequences we are living. And I feel so guilty

Modelling and Simulations
MODELLING AND SIMULATIONS Technological Concepts - Key Terms A model is a simplified representation of a system at some particular point in time or space intended to promote understanding of the real system. Simulation is an imitation of some real thing, state of affairs, or process. The act of simulating something generally entails representing certain key characteristics or behaviours of a selected physical or abstract system. Feedback is a process whereby some proportion of the output signal of a system is passed (fed back) to the input. This is often used to control the dynamic behaviour of the system. Examples of feedback can be found in most complex systems, such as engineering, architecture, economics, thermodynamics, and biology. It is both a mechanism, process and signal that is looped back to control a system within itself. This loop is called the feedback loop. A control system usually has input and output to the system; when the output of the system is fed back into the system as part of its input, it is called the "feedback." Faulty or Hidden Assumptions An error is very hard to correct if we don't suspect there was a mistake. Often we make an incorrect assumption without realizing we made it, and then draw other false conclusions based on this false assumption. One area where this happens frequently is in finding errors in computer programs. An assumption
