Big Data Is Not Always The Defining Factor
Although we hear the term 'big data' frequently now, the true definition of big data does not seem to
have a singular, agreed upon definition. Depending on who you ask, big data can mean many
different things. What would seem to be the most intuitive definition of 'big' data is not necessarily
the correct one. Though the size of the data is an important aspect, it is not always the defining
factor. According to Dell EMC's video, Big Ideas: How Big is Big Data, big data is "any attribute
that challenges the constraints of system capability or business need."1 Will Hakes, Co–Founder and
CEO of Link Analytics, claims that big data cannot be defined in precise terms and is, effectively, a
"rallying cry."2 Hakes does, however, agree that any ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
A very simple, but elegant example of this was given succinctly both by Ng and by Cukier in their
respective lectures. They both recounted the story of IBM computer scientist Arthur Samuel
programming a computer to understand what a legal checkers move was, but to also note which
board configurations were most likely to result in a winning board. Leaving the computer to play
itself over time, the computer collected more and more data and was eventually able to surpass
Samuel in the game that he taught it to play.3, 4 Of course, the implications today are much more
impactful to society than a game of checkers. Machine learning is being used to develop the
technology for self–driving cars3, voice recognition software5, robotics5, and even disease
detection. 3, 4
Yet with all the gobs of data that exist, it is useless to us if we aren't able to obtain and harness the
information and to put it in a format that is both functional and meaningful. Typically, when most of
us think of a database, we think of information organized neatly into columns and rows. This is an
example of a relational database, which is how a majority of databases in the past – and still today –
were structured.6 Relational databases are accessed and manipulated by a query language, most

The Matrix: The Wachowskis
Would you sacrifice the comfortable lie, in order to embrace the horrible truth? We follow the main
character down the cyber rabbit hole in The Matrix, an American action sci–fi film released on
March 31, 1999. It is the second film to be directed and written by Andy and Lana Wachowskis,
formerly known as the Wachowskis Brothers. The film stars Keanu Reeves as Thomas Anderson, a
computer programmer by day and a hacker named Neo by night. Thomas has a feeling that
something isn't right, and tries to peruse knowledge on the mysterious Matrix in hopes of an answer.
When he meets Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) and Trinity (Carrie–Anne Moss), he finally gets an
answer. The truth is that his perception of reality is actually a simulation called the Matrix. It is
where the human conscious lives, as their bodies are used to fuel artificially intelligent machines
who have taken over the real world. Thomas then teams up with the rebels in order to free others,
while facing against Agent Smith (Hugo Weaving) and his gang of Agents, who's only objective is to
maintain the peace and ignorance of the virtual community. ... Show more content on

Computer Phones : Portability, Uses And Use Of Computers
I've been told that the greatest ideas solve problems that we didn't know we had, but I'm not sure
tablets have solved much for me. I can say netbooks have been very useful when they have good
battery life, but I have many uses for laptops that are more portable. To me, portability and function
are key. A netbook is an improvement over a laptop because they're not very expensive, easier to
carry around, and are just as functional for most office work. Tablets, on the other hand, occupy a
strange place where I think we haven't really gotten to yet. I held off on getting a tablet device until

designed to work without tablet devices, you're only making more work for yourself for trying to

Trap Music Survey
I chose to do my survey project on something I am very passionate about, music. Particularly Hip–
Hop, Rhythm & Blues, and Trap Music. The directions were to survey one hundred people and ask
them weather or not they liked the three things I chose to ask them about. Out of the one hundred

and 65 were a fan of Trap Music. The people surveyed were allowed to like more than one of the
sub–genres, or even none at all. Following the survey, I am writing a research paper on where the

Trap Music started gaining popularity in the late eighties with the creation of the TR–808 machine
that produced deep bass bumps, hi–hats, and thin snares all of which are essential to the trap sound.
In the nineties, in Houston Texas, young artist started selling cassette tapes with slowed down rap
music creating the present day chopped and screwed style. Music was slowed down because it was
intentionally enhanced for a listener who was sipping cough syrup or under the influence of drugs
and in an altered state of consciousness, slower music sounded better amplifying their drug trips. In
two thousand, trap music really took off when three 6 mafia released a track called "sippin on some

Outkast started growing in popularity and the type of music was more widely recognized but it

Artificial Intelligence Robots Replace Humans
Artificial intelligence robots may be the next step in human evolution, however it will be the
downfall of mankind and its society. Despite the hype around the new machinery, robots do not
function in the same sense that a human does. Artificial intelligence lacks the humanity and
compassion of a human, will cause unemployment rates to go through the roof, and is overall an
inconvenience to support. If the new technology is implemented into school systems, the negatives
will overpower all (if any) positives. As artificial intelligence becomes more and more intelligent, it
will gradually work its way into different lines of work. Yet, certain professions require a sense of
humanity. Source 1 explains, "'The next five to 10 years will see jobs in the professions – in
medicine, in the legal profession, in professional services – starting to be replaced by computers and
robots and machine learning.'" Out of experience, these jobs require a soul, a connection. The
medical field is filled with compassionate people. It would not be the same with machines. Legal
professionals are passionate about their cases, not their to simply get it over with. Even teaching
requires humanity. However, a company in Source 1 states, "Perth–based oil and gas giant Woodside
Energy is already on board, but said the technology was all about improving access to information,

Standardized Testing And The School Entrance Examination...
Standardized testing had only been added to America's public education curriculum when "the
common school movement began in earnest in the 1830s in New England as reformers... began to
argue successfully for a greater government role in the schooling of all children" ("Common
School"). "By 1845 in the United States, public education advocate Horace Mann was calling for
standardized essay testing" (Mathews), because he believed that "political stability and social
harmony depended on universal education" ("Common School"), and that these tests would help
teachers "find and replicate the best teaching methods so that all children could have equal
opportunities" (Gershon). There weren't any other well known attempts at standardized testing until
"the College Entrance Examination Board–... or SAT–began in the 1920s" (Gershon). Later "in the
1960s, the federal government started pushing new achievement tests designed to evaluate
instructional methods and schools" (Gershon), because the Cold War "fueled a space race and
increased pressure on U.S. schools to show improvement" (Mathews). However, it wasn't "until the
mid–1970s, when the College Board revealed that average SAT scores had been falling since 1963"
(Mathews), that the country realized "public school standards were too low" (Mathews). This is the

Should Textbooks Be Replaced With Notebook Computers?
Should textbooks be replaced with notebook computers The day of A.I. taking over the world is only
seeming more possible. Almost everything is being replaced with robots. Machines are being
implemented into anywhere and everywhere to make living more simple. This is not a bad thing, but
that doesn't mean it isn't questionable. The surplus of machines have found its way into schools as
well. The day of robots teaching is appearing in our future generations. In certain areas have already
been replaced with notebook computers and ipads. Ipads were the awe of this generation, but they
are not capable of beating the awe of the century. Notebook computers should not replace textbooks.
Textbooks should not be replaced because they are less distracting, less likely to get stolen and do
not run out of charge. Students have a lot of things on their mind. They work harder than people
give them credit for. That doesn't mean they're are perfect, however. They are easily distracted.

(Raj & Deka, 2014) The big data analytics is not only limited to the information technology
department this kind of belief makes most of the supply chain mangers to ignore the economic value
of the data which have been collected. The main things that most of the supply chain mangers
should know is that they should have a large access of data which only have the economic value.
They also should protect that data they have so that the data cannot be viewed by their competitors
since their competitors will know the economic value of the data they have collected. Another very
important aspect that most of the suppliers should know about large data which they have collected
is how to creatively use the data to make decisions which will make their work easier. This is
because most of the mangers have access to these data but they do not use the data to help them in
making major decisions. The supply chain managers should also understand that data analytics is
more than just one type of analytics. The first one is descriptive analytics; descriptive analytics will
help the supply chain mangers in to know what really happens in supply chain. Descriptive analytics
helps in data visualization and even in mapping. The next is the predictive analytics; this type of

The Impact Of Digital Technology On Children 's Reading...
Digital technology is growing drastically and has had a strong effect within the illustration industry,
especially in the field of children's books, creating an innovative way to entice their young audience
with the many possibilities that digital technology has to offer. Prior to the eighteenth century "
[l]ittle consideration was given to children's reading pleasure."(Kodomo, 2013) as many of the
books, by which the children could be taught with, were rarely designed specifically for children as
"authors and publishers made very little attempt to entice the young mind with attractive and
compelling illustrations and typography."(Gottlieb, 1975, p.xviii) It was not until mid–eighteenth
century, that a new attitude towards children developed in England and a "greater emphasis was
placed on their education"(Gottlieb, 1975, p.xvii) in order for the younger generation to "play an
effective and successful role in an aggressive commercial society."(Ibid., p.xviii). This newly
developed attitude for their education had a profound influence on the production of children's
books which had primarily been "limited to the Bible, schoolbooks, and, for those from wealthier
families, books written for adults."(Weinstein, 2005, p.1) and so illustrated children books began to
flourish. During this time, "J.D" published 'A Play–book for children to allure them to read as soon

Basketball Shoes Research Paper
There are plenty of trends that go on in our modern day era. One of the most expensive ones would
be the increasing price in basketball shoes. The increasing price is due to many people being brand
washed, meaning that the consumer buys the product from a brand, just because of the name and the
status of it. Also an increase in labor costs in China all are factors that increase the price of
basketball shoes in China. Because of the increase in material cost, it increases the general release

Though the price tags on these basketball shoes can be seen as ridiculous, these companies are still

worldwide is 931. Also according to www.statista.com , Adidas net sales worldwide is 14,535
million Euros, their net profit was 524 million Euros and their number of stores worldwide is 1,746.

Highly hyped teams will often have shorter odds mainly due to the fact so many people are betting

Spend Some Time Watching Their Older Matches
You can often pull up older soccer games on the Internet. It is worth having a watch to see how well

They may have entered the pitch with their heads held high, but it only takes a few dangerous shots
from the opposing team to quash their moral and enthusiasm. The hyped team may have been
expecting an easier game than the one they are getting. If you see the opposing team continue to
apply pressure, you could do worse than place an in–play bet on the opposing team.
Question 5 – Is The Opposing Team Overdue A Dramatic Win?
If you watch a lot of team sports, be it basketball, hockey, rugby, football, or whatever, you will
notice that some teams seem to pull off dramatic comebacks when nobody expects them.
A team can start with pre–season games and start their season with a terrible run, and then out of
nowhere they suddenly start winning relentlessly. Do not underestimate the potential of the opposing
team because of their track record. In addition, do not underestimate them because the hyped team is
drawing all the attention. As a long–time soccer watcher, you should know that some teams can
suddenly become fantastic overnight. It even happens in games sometimes. There are times when a

Anaistics Of Big Data Analytics

In studying the effects of Post–traumatic stress disorder in veterans, I learned that the actions of war
cause many service men and women to change. The change comes because the US military trains
people to kill but they don't want to help them fit back into society. This causes veterans to have
symptoms such aggression, irritability, and hostility. Which is why I feel that people who have killed
in the military came in with the mentality that they were going to help people, but instead they go

conditions that occur frequently together in a given set of data. For example, a data mining system
may find association rules like major(X; "computing science") → owns(X; "personal computer")
[support = 12%; confidence = 98%] where X is a variable representing a student. The rule indicates
that of the students under study, 12% (support) major in computing science and own a personal

For example, the brand Nike is endorsed by many reputable people in professional sports. Therefore,
when consumers see this brand on commercials or social media they will know that this brand is

The Characteristics Of Artificial Intelligence
One must truly understand what artificial intelligence is in order to assess its usefulness in society.
In the article "Artificial Intelligence" by Paul Norvig, it states "The field of artificial intelligence
(AI) is the science and engineering of machines that act intelligently." (Herzfeld 509). So, what does
Norvig mean when these machines act intelligently? This means that Artificial Intelligence mimics
human intelligence as if it had its own consciousness. Consider this, whenever you perform a task,
for example, sorting colored objects into their matching containers, programmers who design these
Artificial Intelligent machines go through the logical process we do as humans. So, if someone had a
red cube and was looking for its container, one would go through a logical chronological process.
First, one would define the color of the object, red. Then, one would find out what type of object he
or she is holding, cube. Finally, in order to complete the task, sorting colored objects into their
matching containers, one would identify the container that was for red cubes. This is an example of
the logical process regarding Artificial Intelligence. Artificial Intelligence is difficult to define.

graphics mashed together to make something almost presentable. Back when this was how things
were, so no one would have been able to guess where the online casino industry would eventually
go. Over the years, since the late 90s, the world has welcomed live casino play, 3D slot machines,
and many more innovations that have taken the level of action to new heights. The innovations show
no sign of slowing down either, as online casinos are now becoming increasingly more mobile.
These mobile casino options are becoming more prevalent than ever before, with 2016 definitely
being the year of gambling on the go. Casino online brands such as Slot Fruity are leading the
charge in this mobile revolution. Offering a great selection of online slots through games from
Nektan, NetEnt, and NextGen Gaming, Slot Fruity has become an online casino that you certainly
shouldn't pass over.
There's a good chance that you've seen all the hype surrounding mobile casino gaming. You might
have even dismissed it as being just hype, but take it from us when we say that

Big Data Is Not Always The Defining Factor

  • 1. Big Data Is Not Always The Defining Factor Although we hear the term 'big data' frequently now, the true definition of big data does not seem to have a singular, agreed upon definition. Depending on who you ask, big data can mean many different things. What would seem to be the most intuitive definition of 'big' data is not necessarily the correct one. Though the size of the data is an important aspect, it is not always the defining factor. According to Dell EMC's video, Big Ideas: How Big is Big Data, big data is "any attribute that challenges the constraints of system capability or business need."1 Will Hakes, Co–Founder and CEO of Link Analytics, claims that big data cannot be defined in precise terms and is, effectively, a "rallying cry."2 Hakes does, however, agree that any ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... A very simple, but elegant example of this was given succinctly both by Ng and by Cukier in their respective lectures. They both recounted the story of IBM computer scientist Arthur Samuel programming a computer to understand what a legal checkers move was, but to also note which board configurations were most likely to result in a winning board. Leaving the computer to play itself over time, the computer collected more and more data and was eventually able to surpass Samuel in the game that he taught it to play.3, 4 Of course, the implications today are much more impactful to society than a game of checkers. Machine learning is being used to develop the technology for self–driving cars3, voice recognition software5, robotics5, and even disease detection. 3, 4 Yet with all the gobs of data that exist, it is useless to us if we aren't able to obtain and harness the information and to put it in a format that is both functional and meaningful. Typically, when most of us think of a database, we think of information organized neatly into columns and rows. This is an example of a relational database, which is how a majority of databases in the past – and still today – were structured.6 Relational databases are accessed and manipulated by a query language, most often Structured Query Language (SQL). 7 SQL is ...

  • 3. The Matrix: The Wachowskis Would you sacrifice the comfortable lie, in order to embrace the horrible truth? We follow the main character down the cyber rabbit hole in The Matrix, an American action sci–fi film released on March 31, 1999. It is the second film to be directed and written by Andy and Lana Wachowskis, formerly known as the Wachowskis Brothers. The film stars Keanu Reeves as Thomas Anderson, a computer programmer by day and a hacker named Neo by night. Thomas has a feeling that something isn't right, and tries to peruse knowledge on the mysterious Matrix in hopes of an answer. When he meets Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) and Trinity (Carrie–Anne Moss), he finally gets an answer. The truth is that his perception of reality is actually a simulation called the Matrix. It is where the human conscious lives, as their bodies are used to fuel artificially intelligent machines who have taken over the real world. Thomas then teams up with the rebels in order to free others, while facing against Agent Smith (Hugo Weaving) and his gang of Agents, who's only objective is to maintain the peace and ignorance of the virtual community. ...

The bullet time effect, (which is one of the most memorable scenes in the film), was a nice touch, further elevating the feeling of heightened senses. Zach Staenberg, the film editor, did an amazing job at editing the special effects loaded scenes. The tight black leather costumes and the signature black sunglasses enhanced the atmosphere quite nicely, as it made them look mysterious and bad ass. The plot was well thought out and the pacing left little room to feel bored. The music also did a terrific job at enhancing the situation as ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 7. Computer Phones : Portability, Uses And Use Of Computers I've been told that the greatest ideas solve problems that we didn't know we had, but I'm not sure tablets have solved much for me. I can say netbooks have been very useful when they have good battery life, but I have many uses for laptops that are more portable. To me, portability and function are key. A netbook is an improvement over a laptop because they're not very expensive, easier to carry around, and are just as functional for most office work. Tablets, on the other hand, occupy a strange place where I think we haven't really gotten to yet. I held off on getting a tablet device until about last fall, when I bought a used slate. The tablet PC market has been depreciated by the influx of touchpad devices, and three–thousand dollar ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... I can only imagine how useless my purchase would have been without the pen, and without sharing the same OS as my work environment. Perhaps there will come a time when tablets rule the business world, but I don't see it happening any time soon. In a work environment that is specifically designed to work without tablet devices, you're only making more work for yourself for trying to shoehorn it in. During my last flight I eased into my seat, fastened my seat belt and prepared for take–off. Once in the air I took my full sized laptop out of it's' carrier and carefully situated it on my seat tray. As I searched for a movie to watch I took a look around to see almost every other person watching movies on their iPads. As I waited for my movie to boot up, I leaned over to get a better look at my neighbor's iPad. That thing was nice. Beautiful picture, compact and lightweight, then I glanced back at my big, slow laptop. I knew it was time for an upgrade. Net book or Tablet I wanted something small and light but I needed something that could handle movie streaming and strong graphics. Net books are small and they travel beautifully but you can forget about movies and television watching on those tiny babies. Net books are great for surfing the web and social networking. They are also awesome for getting work done while on the go but they are not a complete package. Tablets on the other hand are very small and light, most ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

The directions were to survey one hundred people and ask them weather or not they liked the three things I chose to ask them about. Out of the one hundred people I surveyed, ninety one people, were a fan of Hip–Hop, 78 were a fan of Rhythm & Blues, and 65 were a fan of Trap Music. The people surveyed were allowed to like more than one of the sub–genres, or even none at all. Following the survey, I am writing a research paper on where the genres came from and their influence on society. Hip–Hop was developed in the early seventies in one of the poorest slums of New York, The Bronx. 1520 Sedgwick Ave. to ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Trap Music started gaining popularity in the late eighties with the creation of the TR–808 machine that produced deep bass bumps, hi–hats, and thin snares all of which are essential to the trap sound. In the nineties, in Houston Texas, young artist started selling cassette tapes with slowed down rap music creating the present day chopped and screwed style. Music was slowed down because it was intentionally enhanced for a listener who was sipping cough syrup or under the influence of drugs and in an altered state of consciousness, slower music sounded better amplifying their drug trips. In two thousand, trap music really took off when three 6 mafia released a track called "sippin on some sizzurp" which was most popular than any previously produced trap music type of rap. Artist like Outkast started growing in popularity and the type of music was more widely recognized but it wasn't until T.I. came out with a mixtape titled "Trap Muzik" that it gained a title becoming music intended for people specifically whom live in trap houses, sell drugs, and or do drugs. This generally was southern Hip–Hop, but broken down it was "trap music." Trap music got so popular that many labels were made where they only signed trap rappers such as 1017 records signing southern rappers ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 11. Artificial Intelligence Robots Replace Humans Artificial intelligence robots may be the next step in human evolution, however it will be the downfall of mankind and its society. Despite the hype around the new machinery, robots do not function in the same sense that a human does. Artificial intelligence lacks the humanity and compassion of a human, will cause unemployment rates to go through the roof, and is overall an inconvenience to support. If the new technology is implemented into school systems, the negatives will overpower all (if any) positives. As artificial intelligence becomes more and more intelligent, it will gradually work its way into different lines of work. Yet, certain professions require a sense of humanity. Source 1 explains, "'The next five to 10 years will see jobs in the professions – in medicine, in the legal profession, in professional services – starting to be replaced by computers and robots and machine learning.'" Out of experience, these jobs require a soul, a connection. The medical field is filled with compassionate people. It would not be the same with machines. Legal professionals are passionate about their cases, not their to simply get it over with. Even teaching requires humanity. However, a company in Source 1 states, "Perth–based oil and gas giant Woodside Energy is already on board, but said the technology was all about improving access to information, rather than replacing humans." However, human replacement will gradually (or even abruptly) occur. But no matter what, humanity ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Standardized testing had only been added to America's public education curriculum when "the common school movement began in earnest in the 1830s in New England as reformers... began to argue successfully for a greater government role in the schooling of all children" ("Common School"). "By 1845 in the United States, public education advocate Horace Mann was calling for standardized essay testing" (Mathews), because he believed that "political stability and social harmony depended on universal education" ("Common School"), and that these tests would help teachers "find and replicate the best teaching methods so that all children could have equal opportunities" (Gershon). There weren't any other well known attempts at standardized testing until "the College Entrance Examination Board–... or SAT–began in the 1920s" (Gershon). Later "in the 1960s, the federal government started pushing new achievement tests designed to evaluate instructional methods and schools" (Gershon), because the Cold War "fueled a space race and increased pressure on U.S. schools to show improvement" (Mathews). However, it wasn't "until the mid–1970s, when the College Board revealed that average SAT scores had been falling since 1963" (Mathews), that the country realized "public school standards were too low" (Mathews). This is the reason why "Congress created the National Assessment Governing Board" (Mathews), an organization which "established new standards for the National Assessment of Educational ...

The start of the week is time travel Tuesday and the classes all have different eras to coordinate with. Seniors always had the coolest of the eras as they get the 40's. My senior year I dressed as a pearl–wearing, casserole–carrying housewife. Wednesdays are character week and I made a habit of always dressing up as my sister because we are twins and it was a fun joke to play. My personal favorite of the days is Thursday. The seniors dress up in togas and their crowns. Inevitably there is the one boy whose mom didn't pin his toga just right and he thinks going nude under it is a rite of passage and flashes half of the school in the lunch room.

If you watch a lot of team sports, be it basketball, hockey, rugby, football, or whatever, you will notice that some teams seem to pull off dramatic comebacks when nobody expects them. A team can start with pre–season games and start their season with a terrible run, and then out of nowhere they suddenly start winning relentlessly. Do not underestimate the potential of the opposing team because of their track record. In addition, do not underestimate them because the hyped team is drawing all the attention. As a long–time soccer watcher, you should know that some teams can suddenly become fantastic overnight. It even happens in games sometimes.

The change comes because the US military trains people to kill but they don't want to help them fit back into society. This causes veterans to have symptoms such aggression, irritability, and hostility. Which is why I feel that people who have killed in the military came in with the mentality that they were going to help people, but instead they go overseas to kill and ruin innocent people's lives. That causes them to have feelings of guilt because people are told to look at our service men and women as heroes but inside they see themselves as monsters.

He also sent many letters home and also like Noah we slowly see how the horrors of war changed him as a person. He begins by saying "I'm far away in the army, fighting for the stars and stripes I love the old flag dearly" (Crapsey). Meaning that this young man just wanted to help the country that he loved by joining the union army. When we first hear from Angelo while at war he already describes all of the bad things that have happened, things that include his agent committing suicide and other soldiers abandoning the war. He expresses how this by saying "There has been a hundred or more of the boys who had gone home...they are cowards, I won't disgrace my parents by deserting or turning back a soldier's life is hard but I should take care of myself"(Crapsey).

In your answer, address the following: Data mining refers to the process or method that extracts or mines" interesting knowledge or patterns from large amounts of data. (a) Is it another hype? Data mining is not another hype. Instead, the need for data mining has arisen due to the wide availability of huge amounts of data and the imminent need for turning such data into useful information and knowledge. Thus, data mining can be viewed as the result of the natural evolution of information technology.

The resulting description could be a general comparative profile of the students such as 75% of the students with high GPA's are fourth–year computing science students while 65% of the students with low GPA's are not. * Association is the discovery of association rules showing attribute–value conditions that occur frequently together in a given set of data. For example, a data mining system may find association rules like major(X; "computing science") → owns(X; "personal computer") [support = 12%; confidence = 98%] where X is a variable representing a student. The rule indicates that of the students under study, 12% (support) major in computing science and own a personal computer. There is a 98% probability (confidence, or certainty) that a student in this group owns a personal computer. * Classification differs from prediction in that the former constructs a set of models (or functions) that describe and distinguish data classes or concepts, whereas the latter builds a model to predict some missing or unavailable, and often numerical, data values. Their similarity is that they are both tools for prediction: Classification is used for predicting the class label of data objects and prediction is typically used for predicting missing numerical data values. * Clustering analyzes data objects without consulting a known class label.

Coach Brian Kelly had this to say about him during those early practices.

They feature what may be the best offensive tackle in college football in Ronnie Stanley, future NFL draft pick Nick Martin (brother of Zach Martin) at center, and 4–5 star talent at left guard, right guard and right tackle. This is the unit that paved the way for Notre Dame to run for 263 yards on 5.2 a carry and three touchdowns against LSU, which was only giving up 152 yards a game on the ground and 4.3 a carry. Notre Dame returns junior running back Tarean Folston, who in his first two seasons sharing time; he's run for 1,359 yards, 5.1 a carry and 10 total touchdowns.

Allegra Goodman' s Intuition describe a vivid research condition in high–tech biomedical lab, which is involved in not only the scientific lab life, but more importantly the money, fame and envy work and competition in the academic circle. The whole story is about that a lab on the brink of Bankruptcy, became promising but turned out to be a national scandal in the end, because of an incomplete finding by a postdoc. And I choose the plot that one of the lab directors, Marion, was struggling with so–called perfect results as one case to analyze the wrong deed, from my perspective.

A postdoc of them, Cliff Bannaker, who was in the edge of being out of the lab, found a marvelous result that tumor cells could be driven out of mice by RSV. Although the result showed only for the first time without repeating successfully afterwards, they published in the famous journal Nature. In this section, Marion, who was a self–strict and precise scientist, was struggling between the poor data in the repeat experiment and the stress from co–researcher Sandy's hype and fame from the public.

Physical matureness by and large cause a normal growth in strength, quickness, and size which are significant traits for sport success but the only thing youth sports reveal to us is that some players are maturing more rapidly than others. At the youth level being bigger, stronger, and faster are typically all that is required to stand out in a group of less prepared underdeveloped athletes. But it is not a pure marker in terms of who is really the most gifted At more mature ages skill and accomplishments are closely related, but at the young sport level such a relationship is untimely since achievement gains are dependent on more than just changing physical attributes. Victory in youth sport is comparative to whoever is on the team or field; therefore accomplished adolescents are distinguished in relation to others they are competing with and not against some universal test. Few of these players may be more accomplished between their Slower maturing mates but it doesn 't maintain that they are also more gifted.

In conclusion to the summary of the article, I believe that Jcpenney could have done some things differently that could have helped and still improve this company. First, I believe Jcpenney should have consider the fact, when CEO Ron Johnson was considering the new pricing strategy was that Jcpenney and Apple were two completely different types stores. Apple is about the coolest and latest technology while Jcpenney is about fashion and home goods. I believe that Jcpenney should have capitalize on what they had and emphasizes that could get a better deal by shopping at their stores. Furthermore, I recommend that Jcpenney try to implemented celebrity endorsements. If Jcpenney implemented celebrity endorsements, this company could create a competitive edge to their brand. For example, the brand Nike is endorsed by many reputable people in professional sports. Therefore, when consumers see this brand on commercials or social media they will know that this brand is cool. Also, many celebrities and my friends are all wearing this brand too.

  • 73. The Characteristics Of Artificial Intelligence One must truly understand what artificial intelligence is in order to assess its usefulness in society. In the article "Artificial Intelligence" by Paul Norvig, it states "The field of artificial intelligence (AI) is the science and engineering of machines that act intelligently." (Herzfeld 509). So, what does Norvig mean when these machines act intelligently? This means that Artificial Intelligence mimics human intelligence as if it had its own consciousness. Consider this, whenever you perform a task, for example, sorting colored objects into their matching containers, programmers who design these Artificial Intelligent machines go through the logical process we do as humans. So, if someone had a red cube and was looking for its container, one would go through a logical chronological process. First, one would define the color of the object, red. Then, one would find out what type of object he or she is holding, cube. Finally, in order to complete the task, sorting colored objects into their matching containers, one would identify the container that was for red cubes. This is an example of the logical process regarding Artificial Intelligence. Artificial Intelligence is difficult to define. There are so many areas in which intelligent machines could benefit life, a single definition wouldn't fully encompass its capabilities. Noreen L.
