BOOK REVIEWS How to write a book review There are two .docx
BOOK REVIEWS: How to write a book review
There are two approaches to book reviewing:
Descriptive reviews give the essential information about a book. This is done with description and
exposition, by stating the perceived aims and purposes of the author, and by quoting striking passages
from the text.
Critical reviews describe and evaluate the book, in terms of accepted literary and historical standards,
and supports this evaluation with evidence from the text. The following pointers are meant to be
suggestions for writing a critical review.
Basic requirements
To write a critical review, the reviewer must know two things:
Knowing the work under review: This demands not only attempting to understand the author's purpose
and how the component parts of the work contribute to that purpose, but also knowledge of the
author: his/her nationality, time period, other works etc.
Requirements of the genre: This means understanding the art form and how it functions. Without such
context, the reviewer has no historical or literary standard upon which to base an evaluation.
Reviewing essentials
Description of the book. Sufficient description should be given so that the reader will have some
understanding of the author's thoughts. This account is not a summary. It can be woven into the critical
remarks.
Discuss the author. Biographical information should be relevant to the subject of the review and
enhance the reader's understanding of the work under discussion.
Appraise the book. A review must be a considered judgment that includes:
a statement of the reviewer's understanding of the author's purpose
how well the reviewer feels the author's purpose has been achieved
evidence to support the reviewer's judgement of the author' achievement.
While you read:
Read the book with care.
Highlight quotable passages.
Note your impressions as you read.
Allow time to assimilate what you read so that the book can be seen in perspective.
Keep in mind the need for a single impression which must be clear to the reader.
The review outline
A review outline gives you an over-all grasp of the organization of the review, to determine the central
point your review will make, to eliminate inessentials or irrelevancies, and to fill in gaps or omissions.
Examine the notes you have made and eliminate those with no relationship to your central
thesis.
By organizing your discussion topics into groups, aspects of the book will emerge: e.g., theme,
character, structure, etc.
Write down all the major headings of the outline and fill in the subdivisions.
All parts should support your thesis or central point.
First draft
Opening paragraphs set the tone of the paper. Possible introductions usually make a statement about
the:
Thesis
Authorial purpose
Topicality of the work or its significance
Comparison of the work to others by the same author or within the same genre.

BOOK 1984 MiniProject What makes a human beingOne .docx
BOOK 1984
MiniProject: What makes a human being?
One of the themes of 1984 is human dignity. In Part Two, Winston’s dreams and memories of his
mother lead him to an appreciation of the proles and to the realization that “the proles had stayed
human” (165). In Part Three, O’Brien refers to Winston as “the last man...the guardian of the
human spirit” (270).
Step 1: Write to analyze and explain your perspective on what it means to be human. Your writing
should be 1-2 pages typed and printed. Think about all of the qualities that make a person
“human” according to Winston—qualities that Winston says the Party has taken away and that
Winston has had to “relearn by conscious effort” (165). Consider those qualities in your analysis
and emphasize and/or add the qualities that you feel are most important to being human. Be sure
to reflect the importance of each of the qualities both within the novel as well as importance to the
human experience.
Step 2: Choose from the options below or create your own (must be approved) to present/
illustrate your analysis:
2. Create a “recipe” that contains all of the essential “ingredients” that make up a human being.
3. Write your own lyrics to a song that explains what it means to be human.
4. Reflect key events from Winston or Julia’s point of view (ex. diary, social media account, video).
5. Make a written, audio, video, visual recording of Winston’s diary throughout the novel.
6. Create an interview with one of the characters (ex. News broadcast, talk show).
10. Create your own original ending for the novel.

Bonnie Morgen: First Day on the Job and Facing an Ethical Dilemma
http://dx.doi.org/10.4135/9781526490650
Abstract
The case presents an accounting ethical dilemma where the controller of a business unit that
produces and sells industrial components must decide what to do when her boss misrepresents
orders as sales to meet sales budgets and thus overstates revenues by one and a half million
dollars.
Case
Introduction
Today is Bonnie Morgen’s first day on the job as controller of a business unit that produces and sells industrial
components. She has been with the company for a number of years and most recently worked at headquar-
ters, working directly for CFO Ed Judsen. Bonnie is replacing Jerry Mayfare, who recently left the company
for another opportunity. Jerry’s previous work experience included 10 years of working at an entrepreneurial
venture. Bonnie had heard that Jerry prided himself on not having a lot of formal accounting training.
Starting today, Bonnie will work directly for Bill Ridgefield, the division general manager (GM), but she will still
have responsibility to Ed. Although company policy dictates that both the GM and CFO have input in the con-
troller’s performance evaluation, the GM’s input has greater weight for both the annual review and pay raises.
Bill has a reputation as a personable and .

The community of Boley, in the Creek Nation of Indian Territory, or what is now Oklahoma,
was one of thirty black towns founded in the West after the Civil War and settled by immigrants
from the South and Middle West. Blacks first arrived in Oklahoma as the slaves of Cherokees
and Creeks. The Indians had been displaced from the Carolinas and Georgia during the 1830s
and forced to relocate by foot along the "Trail of Tears" to new lands in Oklahoma. In 1908, a
year after Oklahoma was granted statehood, Booker T. Washington described the town's
development.
The large proportions of the northward and westward movement of the negro population recall
the Kansas exodus of thirty years ago, when within a few months more than forty thousand
helpless and destitute negroes from the country districts of Arkansas and Mississippi poured into
eastern Kansas in search of "better homes, larger opportunities, and kindlier treatment."
It is a striking evidence of the progress made in thirty years that the present northward and
westward movement of the negro people has brought into these new lands, not a helpless and
ignorant horde of black people--but land-seekers and home-builders, men who have come
prepared to build up the country. In the thirty years since the Kansas exodus the southern negroes
have learned to build schools, to establish banks and conduct newspapers. They have recovered
something of the knack for trade that their foreparents in Africa were famous for. They have
learned through their churches and their secret orders the art of corporate and united action. This
experience has enabled them to set up and maintain in a raw western community, numbering
2,500, an orderly and self-respecting government.
In the fall of 1905 I spent a week in the Territories of Oklahoma and Indian Territory. During the
course of my visit I had an opportunity for the first time to see the three races--the negro, the
Indian, and the white man--living side by side, each in sufficient numbers to make their influence
felt in the communities of which they were a part, and in the Territory as a whole. . . .
One cannot escape the impression, in traveling through Indian Territory, that the Indians, who
own practically all the lands, and until recently had the local government largely in their own
hands, are to a very large extent regarded by the white settlers, who are rapidly filling up the
country, as almost a negligible quantity. To such an extent is this true that the Constitution of
Oklahoma, as I understand it, takes no account of the Indians in drawing its distinctions among
the races. For the Constitution there exist only the negro and the white man. The reason seems to
be that the Indians have either receded--"gone back," as the saying in that region is on the
advance of the white race, or they have intermarried with and become absorbed with it. Indeed,
so rapidly has this interma.

Wendy Hunter and Timothy J. Power
Wendy Hunter is professor of government at the University of Texas at
Austin. Her works include The Transformation of the Workers’ Party
in Brazil, 1989–2009 (2010). Timothy J. Power is head of the Oxford
School of Global and Area Studies and professor of Latin American
politics at the University of Oxford. Most recently, he is coauthor of
Coalitional Presidentialism in Comparative Perspective: Minority Presi-
dents in Multiparty Systems (2018).
On 28 October 2018, Brazilian voters delivered a sweeping victory
to presidential candidate Jair Bolsonaro, putting the far-right populist
at the helm of the world’s fourth-largest democracy. After a raucous
campaign in which the former army captain demonized his political op-
ponents and promised to save the country from total ruin, Bolsonaro
handed a stinging defeat to the left-leaning Workers’ Party (PT), which
had governed Brazil from 2003 to 2016. Social media, along with net-
works of Pentecostal churches, helped to disseminate Bolsonaro’s in-
cendiary messages and organize his broad multiclass following.
After nearly clinching the presidency in the October 7 first round
with over 46 percent of valid votes, Bolsonaro received 55.13 percent of
the vote in the runoff (see Table on p. 70). The remaining 44.87 percent
went to PT candidate Fernando Haddad—a last-minute substitute during
the first round for popular former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva,
who had been imprisoned since April 2018 on corruption charges linked
to Brazil’s mammoth Operaç~ao Lava Jato (Operation Car Wash) scandal.
In keeping with the polarizing tone of the campaign, the share of voters
who cast ballots for each candidate closely approximated the share who
expressed a strong antipathy toward the opposing candidate. Concurrent
elections for the 513-member Chamber of Deputies, the lower house of
the bicameral National Congress, saw a surge by Bolsonaro’s hitherto
minuscule Social Liberal Party (PSL): This party went from winning
only a single seat in 2014 to claiming 52 seats and the highest share of

Burberry Stops Destroying Product and Bans Real Fur
A PR backlash enveloped Burberry following the revelation that it destroyed £28.6 million worth of unsold product last year. Now, the company is ending the practice and banning animal fur. In a global exclusive interview, BoF's
Imran Amed sits down with Burberry CEO Marco Gobbetti to decode the thinking behind the move.

LONDON, United Kingdom — Burberry is stopping its longstanding practice of destroying unsold product after a firestorm of negative press and social media posts in July. That month, it emerged that the British brand had destroyed £28.6 million ($36.8 million) worth of product — including clothing, accessories
and perfume — in fiscal 2017/2018. The company has destroyed £105 million ($135 million) of unsold product in the last five years, a practice it has previously disclosed in its annual reports.
Alongside the shift, Burberry is also banning the use of animal fur — including rabbit, fox, mink and Asiatic raccoon, as well as angora — in its runway collections, beginning with new chief creative officer Riccardo Tisci’s highly anticipated debut collection set to be unveiled on September 17 at London Fashion Week.
Existing fur products will be phased out over time, however the brand will continue to sell products made with shearling.
“Modern luxury means being socially and environmentally responsible. This belief is core to us at Burberry and key to our long-term success,” said chief executive Marco Gobbetti in a statement.
But clearly, the negative publicity was a wake-up call for the British luxury behemoth. “We are in the midst of an environmental crisis exacerbated by the fashion industry,” read an open letter to Burberry from second-hand retailer ThredUp, which captured the sentiment of the backlash. “Fashion is now responsible
for 10 percent of global carbon emissions and is projected to drain a quarter of the world’s carbon budget by 2050. We respect the desire to protect your brand image but discounting your product shouldn’t be scarier than setting it on fire.”
Burberry is not the only fashion or luxury brand to have destroyed product. Last November, H&M was reported to have burned unsold products. According to the New York Times, Nike slashes its unsold sneakers. And, Richemont has reportedly destroyed more than £400 million worth of watches from high-end
brands including Cartier and Jaeger-LeCoultre.
Indeed, it is one of the industry’s dirty secrets that brands regularly destroy product to protect their intellectual property from counterfeiters and to limit the diminished brand perception that comes with disposing of excess stock through heavy discounting.
Burberry says its new.

#f. Malta is shown in the scatter plot to the right, farthest away from the remaining data. A reason for Malta having such a large tradeshare could be that it's imports/exports are very different from the other countries in the data thus, affecting the size or amount of it. Malta's import/exports could be of the goods that are transported a lot faster or a lot slower than the rest of the countries being analyzed. Because of that, and also because Malta was determined to be differing from all other members, it cannot be included in the analysis.

335 — Algorithm Engineering — Cella Rule 90
Project #1 – Cella Rule 90
Introduction
This project is to write a program to display the generational progress of Wolfram's Rule-90 cellular
automaton. The program will be written in Javascript with an HTML web page for display.
The cella "growth generations" will be shown in a 2D grid of black and white cells. Each row after the top
will show the next generation.
Rule-90
Wolfram's Rule-90 (from his 2002 book "A New Kind of Science") is based on a 1D array where each cell is
"active". What happens to it depends on its current binary state (1 or 0, white or black) and the states of its two
neighbors; 3 cells in all. With 3 binary cells, there are 8 possible configurations. A Rule needs to specify what
happens to a cell with each of those 8 neighborly configurations. Rule-90 looks like this:
This Rule format is interpreted as follows: leftmost is a cell containing all black (1's, or filled cells). If the
center cell and its two neighbors are in state 1, then in the next generation, the cell will change to state 0 (white,
clear). Put differently, if the binary number represented by the 3 cells is 111 = 7; then the middle cell will be
changes to state 0 in the next generation. A similar analysis is used for the other 7 tri.

Body Paragraphs Outline
Introduction: “Auto-pilot cars also referred to as driverless cars are vehicles that are capable of moving with no human involvement or little input by sensing the environment.” These cars combine several sensors that perceive the surrounding such as GPS, radar, Odometer, and computer vision. Their advanced control systems then interpret the sensory data to recognize the appropriate navigation path.
Thesis: “Auto-pilot cars have various benefits to human, environment, and economy.”
Body Paragraph #1:
Topic sentence: Self-drive cars increase safety.
The safety benefits that are anticipated from these cars include reducing the number of traffic collisions that results in injuries and additional costs. Besides, these cars will provide increased traffic flow to avoid rush among motorists that have always resulted in accidents.
Body Paragraph #2:
Topic sentence: Self-drive cars increase mobility for the children, disabled, and the elderly. Majorly, the automated driving feature is critical for assisting people with special needs during driving to travel and navigate without barriers. These cars thus are helpful for these groups of people as they will just sit and reach their destinations.
Body Paragraph #3:
Topic sentence: Auto-pilot cars reduce costs.
These cars adequately reduce the need of parking space and fees, reduce crime rates, and increases fuel efficiency. Besides, they reduce costs through reducing insurance rates since they are usually accident free and do not necessitate insurance.
Body Paragraph #4:
Topic sentence: Self-drive vehicles are fast and have little breakdown time.
Since they are automated, these cars identify and inform the owners on the potential mechanical issues and suggest potential solution. Therefore, the user can fix the problem without having to manually identify and correct the problem.
Conclusion:
In summary, auto-pilot cars are beneficial in many aspects. They increase mobility rates among humans as well as safety. Besides, they reduce costs and have little mechanical breakdown concerns.
1 Sexual Offenses and Offenders
There are few groups of individuals who are more reviled than sexual offenders. Though this has been true for more than a century, the past two decades have brought forth intense scrutiny from the public, politicians, and policymakers. Several emotionally-charged cases of child sexual abuse were highly publicized in the 1980s and 1990s, reigniting public intolerance for sexual offenders. And although the incidence of sexual offenses has been decreasing, sanctions for sex offenders have been constantly increasing over the last two decades. Unfortunately, empirical research does not show that such sanctions significantly deter offenders or reduce recidivism, and yet this legislation creates significant financial strain for local jurisdictions and states that must implement the policies (Zgoba et al., 2008). Despite the questionable efficacy of these laws, there .

Abstract
Social psychologists have amassed a large body of work demonstrating that overweight African
American adolescent girls have generally positive self-images, particularly when compared with
overweight females from other racial and ethnic groups. Some scholars have proposed that elements
of African American social experience may contribute to the maintenance of these positive self-
views. In this paper, we evaluate these arguments using data drawn from a panel study of socio-
economically diverse African American adolescent girls living in Iowa and Georgia. We analyze the
relationship between body size and social self-image over three waves of data, starting when the girls
were 10 years of age and concluding when they were approximately 14. We find that heavier
respondents hold less positive social self-images but also find that being raised in a family that
practices racial socialization moderates this relationship.
Keywords
obesity; adolescence; racial socialization
The relationship between body weight and self-image among African American adolescent
girls has been the topic of considerable study (Ge, Elder, Regnerus, & Cox, 2001; Lovejoy,
2001; Smolak & Levine, 2001). Overall, the results of this work show that, while African
American girls are more likely to be overweight than females of other racial groups, they also
feel good about their bodies and exhibit a relatively weak association between body size and
outcomes such as self-esteem, self-evaluation, and psychological health (Berkowitz &
Stunkard, 2002; Neumark-Sztainer, Story, Hannan, & Croll, 2002). These patterns have led
scholars to suggest that elements of African American life may serve a protective function,
limiting the negative influence of body size on self-image (Roberts, Cash, Feingold, & Johnson,
2006). In this paper, we explore these arguments by assessing the association between body
size and social self-image within a sample of adolescent African American girls. We then

Body Modification Is a Sign of CulturalDepravitySelf-Mutil.docx
Body Modification Is a Sign of Cultural
Depravity
Self-Mutilation, 2008
From Opposing Viewpoints in Context
"Body mutilation is the decoration of choice for an age which has turned violence into
a modish cult."
In the following viewpoint, British columnist and author Melanie Phillips decries the trendiness
of body modifications such as tattooing, piercing, and cosmetic surgery. She equates these
fashion statements with self-mutilation and sees their popularity as a sign of a morally corrupt,
shallow, and spiritually empty culture. Moreover, she asserts, body modification reflects low
self-esteem and a hatred of the body rooted in a desire to evade reality.
As you read, consider the following questions:
What do Botox injections do, according to Phillips?1.
In what ways do tattoos expose a "hollowness of character," according to the author?2.
What is self-mutilation an outward sign of, in Phillips' opinion?3.
There was a time when sentimentality meant wearing your heart on your sleeve. Now it's more likely to
be carved into the nape of your neck.
[English professional footballer] David Beckham has revealed a startling tattoo below his hair line
depicting a green cross with wings extending almost from ear to ear. This enigmatic example of neck
art has occasioned wonderment and disgust in equal measure.
At the same time, the quiz show host Anne Robinson has come clean about her recent face-lift, which
she had done because she didn't want a 'face like a road map'. Now, there's nothing like the boast of
yet another celebrity about having her face lifted to cause the faces of everyone else to fall. But surely,
something more than mere vanity is at work here.
A Fortune on Blemishes?
After all, isn't it somewhat strange that while people like Anne Robinson spend a fortune having
blemishes removed from their physiognomy, people like David Beckham are busy putting fresh ones
indelibly on?
The Beckham winged cross has hardly enhanced its owner's natural beauty. It is, in short, thuggish
and repellent. It is also very large, permanent and, since it is so visible on the back of his neck, in your
face (so to speak). Even the tattooist expressed concern about using such a prominent location.
So what does its appearance mean? Amateur psychologists speculate it is some kind of tough-guy

statement to counter the recent torrid allegations about the state of his marriage.
But this is the ninth tattoo to adorn the Beckham torso. Others sport his wife's name spelled out in
Hindi, his son's name in inch-high Gothic lettering, his iconic shirt number 7, and a Michelangelo angel
on his right arm.
Designer Wounds
This goes beyond one silly footballer dreaming up new ways to make himelf the centre of attention.
For what was once the adornment of choice for sailors or skinheads has now become high
fashion—particularly for women, who sport tattoos on their shoulders or in more discreet places.
Such tattoos are considered sexy. But however femini.

Bob is a hard-working guy who lives in Smallville, USA. Bob.docx
Bob
is a hard-working guy who lives in Smallville, USA. Bob is getting ready for work one day and listening to the national news at the same time. He hears a report from the director of the FBI that Osama Bin Laden is now in the United States and is hiding out somewhere near Smallville, USA. The FBI director advised the people of Smallville to be on the lookout for Bin Laden, that he is armed and dangerous and is planning a terrorist attack. The FBI director said they have intelligence information that Bin Laden was spotted in a brown Pontiac 2 door vehicle and had vowed to blow up an innocent person’s house as a show of his power in the USA. Bob looks out the window of his house as this news report is still happening. Bob has been watching the news for the last 24 hours because of the attack on the World Trade Centers in New York, and Osama Bin Laden was reported to be responsible for those attacks. Bob sees a brown 2 door Pontiac pull up in front of his neighbor’s house. An Arab man with a long beard gets out of the car carrying a large black package and begins walking up to his neighbor’s door. Bob realizes this man is Osama Bin Laden and he fears he is going to blow up his neighbor’s house. He grabs his gun and runs out the front door. He yells at the man firing his gun at the same time. Bob kills the man. His neighbor comes running out of the house as Bob is walking up to the man. His neighbor asked Bob what he had done. Bob said, “I just killed Osama Bin Laden! He was going to blow up your house!” Bob’s neighbor then said, “That’s not Osama Bin Laden! That is the pizza delivery man and that is the pizza I just ordered! Bob looked down and could see the Pizza Hut logo on the man’s shirt and could see a corner of the pizza box sticking out of the large black package. The man he killed was not Osama Bin Laden.
John
is not a hard-working guy. John also lives in Smallville. John has been in trouble his entire life and has been arrested many times. John was sitting at his house the same day the FBI warned the public that Osama Bin Laden was in the area. John did not hear this warning because his electricity had been shut off the week before. John called the electric company (Superior Energy) and after they refused to turn his electricity back on, he threatened to kill someone from Superior Energy. John was angry and bitter at Superior Energy. John told his friends and family he would get revenge against Superior Energy. John is sitting on his couch with a gun in his hand plotting his revenge and trying to figure out what he is going to do to Superior Energy. While John is sitting on the couch, he notices a Superior Energy electric company truck pull up in front the elementary school next to his house. The two men in the Superior Energy truck get out and begin unloading some equipment. John sees this as his opportunity to teach Superior Energy a lesson. He runs out his door and shoots both men whil.

BOOK 1984 MiniProject What makes a human beingOne .docx
BOOK 1984
MiniProject: What makes a human being?
One of the themes of 1984 is human dignity. In Part Two, Winston’s dreams and memories of his
mother lead him to an appreciation of the proles and to the realization that “the proles had stayed
human” (165). In Part Three, O’Brien refers to Winston as “the last man...the guardian of the
human spirit” (270).
Step 1: Write to analyze and explain your perspective on what it means to be human. Your writing
should be 1-2 pages typed and printed. Think about all of the qualities that make a person
“human” according to Winston—qualities that Winston says the Party has taken away and that
Winston has had to “relearn by conscious effort” (165). Consider those qualities in your analysis
and emphasize and/or add the qualities that you feel are most important to being human. Be sure
to reflect the importance of each of the qualities both within the novel as well as importance to the
human experience.
Step 2: Choose from the options below or create your own (must be approved) to present/
illustrate your analysis:
2. Create a “recipe” that contains all of the essential “ingredients” that make up a human being.
3. Write your own lyrics to a song that explains what it means to be human.
4. Reflect key events from Winston or Julia’s point of view (ex. diary, social media account, video).
5. Make a written, audio, video, visual recording of Winston’s diary throughout the novel.
6. Create an interview with one of the characters (ex. News broadcast, talk show).
10. Create your own original ending for the novel.

Bonnie Morgen: First Day on the Job and Facing an Ethical Dilemma
http://dx.doi.org/10.4135/9781526490650
Abstract
The case presents an accounting ethical dilemma where the controller of a business unit that
produces and sells industrial components must decide what to do when her boss misrepresents
orders as sales to meet sales budgets and thus overstates revenues by one and a half million
dollars.
Case
Introduction
Today is Bonnie Morgen’s first day on the job as controller of a business unit that produces and sells industrial
components. She has been with the company for a number of years and most recently worked at headquar-
ters, working directly for CFO Ed Judsen. Bonnie is replacing Jerry Mayfare, who recently left the company
for another opportunity. Jerry’s previous work experience included 10 years of working at an entrepreneurial
venture. Bonnie had heard that Jerry prided himself on not having a lot of formal accounting training.
Starting today, Bonnie will work directly for Bill Ridgefield, the division general manager (GM), but she will still
have responsibility to Ed. Although company policy dictates that both the GM and CFO have input in the con-
troller’s performance evaluation, the GM’s input has greater weight for both the annual review and pay raises.
Bill has a reputation as a personable and .

Boley A Negro Town in the American West (1908) The commu.docx
Boley: A Negro Town in the American West (1908)
The community of Boley, in the Creek Nation of Indian Territory, or what is now Oklahoma,
was one of thirty black towns founded in the West after the Civil War and settled by immigrants
from the South and Middle West. Blacks first arrived in Oklahoma as the slaves of Cherokees
and Creeks. The Indians had been displaced from the Carolinas and Georgia during the 1830s
and forced to relocate by foot along the "Trail of Tears" to new lands in Oklahoma. In 1908, a
year after Oklahoma was granted statehood, Booker T. Washington described the town's
development.
The large proportions of the northward and westward movement of the negro population recall
the Kansas exodus of thirty years ago, when within a few months more than forty thousand
helpless and destitute negroes from the country districts of Arkansas and Mississippi poured into
eastern Kansas in search of "better homes, larger opportunities, and kindlier treatment."
It is a striking evidence of the progress made in thirty years that the present northward and
westward movement of the negro people has brought into these new lands, not a helpless and
ignorant horde of black people--but land-seekers and home-builders, men who have come
prepared to build up the country. In the thirty years since the Kansas exodus the southern negroes
have learned to build schools, to establish banks and conduct newspapers. They have recovered
something of the knack for trade that their foreparents in Africa were famous for. They have
learned through their churches and their secret orders the art of corporate and united action. This
experience has enabled them to set up and maintain in a raw western community, numbering
2,500, an orderly and self-respecting government.
In the fall of 1905 I spent a week in the Territories of Oklahoma and Indian Territory. During the
course of my visit I had an opportunity for the first time to see the three races--the negro, the
Indian, and the white man--living side by side, each in sufficient numbers to make their influence
felt in the communities of which they were a part, and in the Territory as a whole. . . .
One cannot escape the impression, in traveling through Indian Territory, that the Indians, who
own practically all the lands, and until recently had the local government largely in their own
hands, are to a very large extent regarded by the white settlers, who are rapidly filling up the
country, as almost a negligible quantity. To such an extent is this true that the Constitution of
Oklahoma, as I understand it, takes no account of the Indians in drawing its distinctions among
the races. For the Constitution there exist only the negro and the white man. The reason seems to
be that the Indians have either receded--"gone back," as the saying in that region is on the
advance of the white race, or they have intermarried with and become absorbed with it. Indeed,
so rapidly has this interma.

illiBeral Backlash
Wendy Hunter and Timothy J. Power
Wendy Hunter is professor of government at the University of Texas at
Austin. Her works include The Transformation of the Workers’ Party
in Brazil, 1989–2009 (2010). Timothy J. Power is head of the Oxford
School of Global and Area Studies and professor of Latin American
politics at the University of Oxford. Most recently, he is coauthor of
Coalitional Presidentialism in Comparative Perspective: Minority Presi-
dents in Multiparty Systems (2018).
On 28 October 2018, Brazilian voters delivered a sweeping victory
to presidential candidate Jair Bolsonaro, putting the far-right populist
at the helm of the world’s fourth-largest democracy. After a raucous
campaign in which the former army captain demonized his political op-
ponents and promised to save the country from total ruin, Bolsonaro
handed a stinging defeat to the left-leaning Workers’ Party (PT), which
had governed Brazil from 2003 to 2016. Social media, along with net-
works of Pentecostal churches, helped to disseminate Bolsonaro’s in-
cendiary messages and organize his broad multiclass following.
After nearly clinching the presidency in the October 7 first round
with over 46 percent of valid votes, Bolsonaro received 55.13 percent of
the vote in the runoff (see Table on p. 70). The remaining 44.87 percent
went to PT candidate Fernando Haddad—a last-minute substitute during
the first round for popular former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva,
who had been imprisoned since April 2018 on corruption charges linked
to Brazil’s mammoth Operaç~ao Lava Jato (Operation Car Wash) scandal.
In keeping with the polarizing tone of the campaign, the share of voters
who cast ballots for each candidate closely approximated the share who
expressed a strong antipathy toward the opposing candidate. Concurrent
elections for the 513-member Chamber of Deputies, the lower house of
the bicameral National Congress, saw a surge by Bolsonaro’s hitherto
minuscule Social Liberal Party (PSL): This party went from winning
only a single seat in 2014 to claiming 52 seats and the highest share of

Burberry Stops Destroying Product and Bans Real Fur
A PR backlash enveloped Burberry following the revelation that it destroyed £28.6 million worth of unsold product last year. Now, the company is ending the practice and banning animal fur. In a global exclusive interview, BoF's
Imran Amed sits down with Burberry CEO Marco Gobbetti to decode the thinking behind the move.

LONDON, United Kingdom — Burberry is stopping its longstanding practice of destroying unsold product after a firestorm of negative press and social media posts in July. That month, it emerged that the British brand had destroyed £28.6 million ($36.8 million) worth of product — including clothing, accessories
and perfume — in fiscal 2017/2018. The company has destroyed £105 million ($135 million) of unsold product in the last five years, a practice it has previously disclosed in its annual reports.
Alongside the shift, Burberry is also banning the use of animal fur — including rabbit, fox, mink and Asiatic raccoon, as well as angora — in its runway collections, beginning with new chief creative officer Riccardo Tisci’s highly anticipated debut collection set to be unveiled on September 17 at London Fashion Week.
Existing fur products will be phased out over time, however the brand will continue to sell products made with shearling.
“Modern luxury means being socially and environmentally responsible. This belief is core to us at Burberry and key to our long-term success,” said chief executive Marco Gobbetti in a statement.
But clearly, the negative publicity was a wake-up call for the British luxury behemoth. “We are in the midst of an environmental crisis exacerbated by the fashion industry,” read an open letter to Burberry from second-hand retailer ThredUp, which captured the sentiment of the backlash. “Fashion is now responsible
for 10 percent of global carbon emissions and is projected to drain a quarter of the world’s carbon budget by 2050. We respect the desire to protect your brand image but discounting your product shouldn’t be scarier than setting it on fire.”
Burberry is not the only fashion or luxury brand to have destroyed product. Last November, H&M was reported to have burned unsold products. According to the New York Times, Nike slashes its unsold sneakers. And, Richemont has reportedly destroyed more than £400 million worth of watches from high-end
brands including Cartier and Jaeger-LeCoultre.
Indeed, it is one of the industry’s dirty secrets that brands regularly destroy product to protect their intellectual property from counterfeiters and to limit the diminished brand perception that comes with disposing of excess stock through heavy discounting.
Burberry says its new.

#f. Malta is shown in the scatter plot to the right, farthest away from the remaining data. A reason for Malta having such a large tradeshare could be that it's imports/exports are very different from the other countries in the data thus, affecting the size or amount of it. Malta's import/exports could be of the goods that are transported a lot faster or a lot slower than the rest of the countries being analyzed. Because of that, and also because Malta was determined to be differing from all other members, it cannot be included in the analysis.

335 — Algorithm Engineering — Cella Rule 90
Project #1 – Cella Rule 90
Introduction
This project is to write a program to display the generational progress of Wolfram's Rule-90 cellular
automaton. The program will be written in Javascript with an HTML web page for display.
The cella "growth generations" will be shown in a 2D grid of black and white cells. Each row after the top
will show the next generation.
Rule-90
Wolfram's Rule-90 (from his 2002 book "A New Kind of Science") is based on a 1D array where each cell is
"active". What happens to it depends on its current binary state (1 or 0, white or black) and the states of its two
neighbors; 3 cells in all. With 3 binary cells, there are 8 possible configurations. A Rule needs to specify what
happens to a cell with each of those 8 neighborly configurations. Rule-90 looks like this:
This Rule format is interpreted as follows: leftmost is a cell containing all black (1's, or filled cells). If the
center cell and its two neighbors are in state 1, then in the next generation, the cell will change to state 0 (white,
clear). Put differently, if the binary number represented by the 3 cells is 111 = 7; then the middle cell will be
changes to state 0 in the next generation. A similar analysis is used for the other 7 tri.

Body Paragraphs Outline
Introduction: “Auto-pilot cars also referred to as driverless cars are vehicles that are capable of moving with no human involvement or little input by sensing the environment.” These cars combine several sensors that perceive the surrounding such as GPS, radar, Odometer, and computer vision. Their advanced control systems then interpret the sensory data to recognize the appropriate navigation path.
Thesis: “Auto-pilot cars have various benefits to human, environment, and economy.”
Body Paragraph #1:
Topic sentence: Self-drive cars increase safety.
The safety benefits that are anticipated from these cars include reducing the number of traffic collisions that results in injuries and additional costs. Besides, these cars will provide increased traffic flow to avoid rush among motorists that have always resulted in accidents.
Body Paragraph #2:
Topic sentence: Self-drive cars increase mobility for the children, disabled, and the elderly. Majorly, the automated driving feature is critical for assisting people with special needs during driving to travel and navigate without barriers. These cars thus are helpful for these groups of people as they will just sit and reach their destinations.
Body Paragraph #3:
Topic sentence: Auto-pilot cars reduce costs.
These cars adequately reduce the need of parking space and fees, reduce crime rates, and increases fuel efficiency. Besides, they reduce costs through reducing insurance rates since they are usually accident free and do not necessitate insurance.
Body Paragraph #4:
Topic sentence: Self-drive vehicles are fast and have little breakdown time.
Since they are automated, these cars identify and inform the owners on the potential mechanical issues and suggest potential solution. Therefore, the user can fix the problem without having to manually identify and correct the problem.
Conclusion:
In summary, auto-pilot cars are beneficial in many aspects. They increase mobility rates among humans as well as safety. Besides, they reduce costs and have little mechanical breakdown concerns.
1 Sexual Offenses and Offenders
There are few groups of individuals who are more reviled than sexual offenders. Though this has been true for more than a century, the past two decades have brought forth intense scrutiny from the public, politicians, and policymakers. Several emotionally-charged cases of child sexual abuse were highly publicized in the 1980s and 1990s, reigniting public intolerance for sexual offenders. And although the incidence of sexual offenses has been decreasing, sanctions for sex offenders have been constantly increasing over the last two decades. Unfortunately, empirical research does not show that such sanctions significantly deter offenders or reduce recidivism, and yet this legislation creates significant financial strain for local jurisdictions and states that must implement the policies (Zgoba et al., 2008). Despite the questionable efficacy of these laws, there .

Abstract
Social psychologists have amassed a large body of work demonstrating that overweight African
American adolescent girls have generally positive self-images, particularly when compared with
overweight females from other racial and ethnic groups. Some scholars have proposed that elements
of African American social experience may contribute to the maintenance of these positive self-
views. In this paper, we evaluate these arguments using data drawn from a panel study of socio-
economically diverse African American adolescent girls living in Iowa and Georgia. We analyze the
relationship between body size and social self-image over three waves of data, starting when the girls
were 10 years of age and concluding when they were approximately 14. We find that heavier
respondents hold less positive social self-images but also find that being raised in a family that
practices racial socialization moderates this relationship.
Keywords
obesity; adolescence; racial socialization
The relationship between body weight and self-image among African American adolescent
girls has been the topic of considerable study (Ge, Elder, Regnerus, & Cox, 2001; Lovejoy,
2001; Smolak & Levine, 2001). Overall, the results of this work show that, while African
American girls are more likely to be overweight than females of other racial groups, they also
feel good about their bodies and exhibit a relatively weak association between body size and
outcomes such as self-esteem, self-evaluation, and psychological health (Berkowitz &
Stunkard, 2002; Neumark-Sztainer, Story, Hannan, & Croll, 2002). These patterns have led
scholars to suggest that elements of African American life may serve a protective function,
limiting the negative influence of body size on self-image (Roberts, Cash, Feingold, & Johnson,
2006). In this paper, we explore these arguments by assessing the association between body
size and social self-image within a sample of adolescent African American girls. We then

Self-Mutilation, 2008

"Body mutilation is the decoration of choice for an age which has turned violence into
a modish cult."
In the following viewpoint, British columnist and author Melanie Phillips decries the trendiness
of body modifications such as tattooing, piercing, and cosmetic surgery. She equates these
fashion statements with self-mutilation and sees their popularity as a sign of a morally corrupt,
shallow, and spiritually empty culture. Moreover, she asserts, body modification reflects low
self-esteem and a hatred of the body rooted in a desire to evade reality.
As you read, consider the following questions:
What do Botox injections do, according to Phillips?1.
In what ways do tattoos expose a "hollowness of character," according to the author?2.
What is self-mutilation an outward sign of, in Phillips' opinion?3.
There was a time when sentimentality meant wearing your heart on your sleeve. Now it's more likely to
be carved into the nape of your neck.
[English professional footballer] David Beckham has revealed a startling tattoo below his hair line
depicting a green cross with wings extending almost from ear to ear. This enigmatic example of neck
art has occasioned wonderment and disgust in equal measure.
At the same time, the quiz show host Anne Robinson has come clean about her recent face-lift, which
she had done because she didn't want a 'face like a road map'. Now, there's nothing like the boast of
yet another celebrity about having her face lifted to cause the faces of everyone else to fall. But surely,
something more than mere vanity is at work here.
A Fortune on Blemishes?
After all, isn't it somewhat strange that while people like Anne Robinson spend a fortune having
blemishes removed from their physiognomy, people like David Beckham are busy putting fresh ones
indelibly on?
The Beckham winged cross has hardly enhanced its owner's natural beauty. It is, in short, thuggish
and repellent. It is also very large, permanent and, since it is so visible on the back of his neck, in your
face (so to speak). Even the tattooist expressed concern about using such a prominent location.
So what does its appearance mean? Amateur psychologists speculate it is some kind of tough-guy

statement to counter the recent torrid allegations about the state of his marriage.
But this is the ninth tattoo to adorn the Beckham torso. Others sport his wife's name spelled out in
Hindi, his son's name in inch-high Gothic lettering, his iconic shirt number 7, and a Michelangelo angel
on his right arm.
Designer Wounds
This goes beyond one silly footballer dreaming up new ways to make himelf the centre of attention.
For what was once the adornment of choice for sailors or skinheads has now become high
fashion—particularly for women, who sport tattoos on their shoulders or in more discreet places.
Such tattoos are considered sexy. But however femini.

Bob is a hard-working guy who lives in Smallville, USA. Bob.docx
Bob
is a hard-working guy who lives in Smallville, USA. Bob is getting ready for work one day and listening to the national news at the same time. He hears a report from the director of the FBI that Osama Bin Laden is now in the United States and is hiding out somewhere near Smallville, USA. The FBI director advised the people of Smallville to be on the lookout for Bin Laden, that he is armed and dangerous and is planning a terrorist attack. The FBI director said they have intelligence information that Bin Laden was spotted in a brown Pontiac 2 door vehicle and had vowed to blow up an innocent person’s house as a show of his power in the USA. Bob looks out the window of his house as this news report is still happening. Bob has been watching the news for the last 24 hours because of the attack on the World Trade Centers in New York, and Osama Bin Laden was reported to be responsible for those attacks. Bob sees a brown 2 door Pontiac pull up in front of his neighbor’s house. An Arab man with a long beard gets out of the car carrying a large black package and begins walking up to his neighbor’s door. Bob realizes this man is Osama Bin Laden and he fears he is going to blow up his neighbor’s house. He grabs his gun and runs out the front door. He yells at the man firing his gun at the same time. Bob kills the man. His neighbor comes running out of the house as Bob is walking up to the man. His neighbor asked Bob what he had done. Bob said, “I just killed Osama Bin Laden! He was going to blow up your house!” Bob’s neighbor then said, “That’s not Osama Bin Laden! That is the pizza delivery man and that is the pizza I just ordered! Bob looked down and could see the Pizza Hut logo on the man’s shirt and could see a corner of the pizza box sticking out of the large black package. The man he killed was not Osama Bin Laden.
John
is not a hard-working guy. John also lives in Smallville. John has been in trouble his entire life and has been arrested many times. John was sitting at his house the same day the FBI warned the public that Osama Bin Laden was in the area. John did not hear this warning because his electricity had been shut off the week before. John called the electric company (Superior Energy) and after they refused to turn his electricity back on, he threatened to kill someone from Superior Energy. John was angry and bitter at Superior Energy. John told his friends and family he would get revenge against Superior Energy. John is sitting on his couch with a gun in his hand plotting his revenge and trying to figure out what he is going to do to Superior Energy. While John is sitting on the couch, he notices a Superior Energy electric company truck pull up in front the elementary school next to his house. The two men in the Superior Energy truck get out and begin unloading some equipment. John sees this as his opportunity to teach Superior Energy a lesson. He runs out his door and shoots both men whil.
