Essay On The Nomination Process
1. Essay On The Nomination Process
Nonetheless, the difference in party alignment has clear implications for the nomination process.
During the nomination process, you are facing other members of your party to fight for the single
nomination for the general election. This means you have to fight over voters with quite similar
ideologies. This would exclude the extreme number of people from the other party, and perhaps
many people who are in the middle and cannot decide which way to lean yet. Due to this, candidates
must strategize their rhetoric and conduct to appeal to the most extreme members of the party.
Studies have shown that the people who vote in primary elections are in general more highly
educated, and indicate more party activism/pride (Lecture Notes).
For as long as this process has seemed to get the job done, people this election cycle have been
curious if certain changes could be made to the nomination process that would allow for more

36). Teaster and Blieszner (1999) say "the term distance learning has been applied to many
instructional methods: however, its primary distinction is that the teacher and the learner are
separate in space and possibly time" (p. 741). However, distance learning is not a new phenomenon.
The history of distance education could be traced back to the early 1700s in the form of
correspondence education, but technology–based distance education might be best linked to the
introduction of audiovisual devices into the schools in the early 1900s. With the development of the
postal service in the 19th century, commercial correspondence colleges provided distance education
to students across the country. This trend continued well into the 20th century with the advent of
radio, television, and other media that allowed learning from distance. In the last decade, distance
education has changed significantly with the use of computer–mediated learning, two–way
interactive video, and a variety of other technologies. Colleges and universities are forging ahead to
provide learning at a distance, and many institutions are making substantial investments in new
technologies for teaching.

ABSTRACT
This study examines the view that self–awareness gradually develops with a shift from physical to
psychological characteristics whilst the locus of self–knowledge progressively transfers from others
to the self. Previous research implementing semi–structured self concept interviews to investigate
self descriptions amongst young children of various age groups supported these findings,
underpinning the theories of a gradual emergence and elaboration of the self as a subject and the self
as an object of knowledge. In the current study, a comparison ... Show more content on

Rosenberg's (ibid) findings indicated that younger children tend to describe more physical activities
and characteristics whilst this gradually develops to include relationships and interpersonal traits,
eventually shifting to more inner qualities. Rosenberg (1979, as cited in: The Open University, 2010,
pp. 21–22) also found that the locus of self–knowledge gradually shifted from a reliance on another
person as point of reference for judging themselves, towards the self.
This study intends to investigate, and confirm, the findings of Rosenberg (1979, as cited in: The
Open University, 2010, pp. 21–22) by analysing transcripts of semi–structured interviews with two
children aged eight and sixteen. This was done within the meaning of investigating the development

stellar customer service and product offerings by performing detailed industry analysis. Second,
since my company's IT administrator and I are both proficient in SQL, we must choose a Hadoop
product that has an SQL interface. Lastly, the Hadoop offering must be able to be deployed in the

emerging economy that has implemented strong economic and political reforms in the last 30 years,
but still exhibits strong social inequality and a high income inequality (Bonina, 2012, p. 25;

relationship that includes couples dating others, there is often a focus on "togetherness" in the

In some cases, the couple dates other couples; however, there are many cases where the couple adds
a single third party to the relationship. The primary relationship comes first, but both partners are

37. Symbolism And Figurative Language In The Open Boat By...
In the short story "The Open Boat," author Stephen Crane displays symbolism and figurative
language as an important key element. Such elements encourage readers to create certain mental
images from the figurative language the author provides. The significance of these details can be
interpreted in many ways. Stephen Crane uses many symbols to unify the story's plot, theme, and
setting. The first important symbol Crane describes in his story is the boat the characters float upon.
This boat, which seems to be no larger than a bathtub, seems quite small against the vast ocean. As
the characters cling to the boat to survive the dangerous sea, it symbolizes how human life can bob
along the world's uncertainties. Crane describes the boat as "open," which supports the interpretation
of how being unprotected can expose people to the unexpected turns of life (Crane 339). The open
boat becomes a sanctuary and reality for the characters; this reality helps them comprehend how
little control they have over everything they do. The open boat symbolism helps convey the short
story's theme. The symbol conveys a message of loneliness that comes from the character's
understanding of how insignificant they are in the universe. Underneath the men's rants at fate, they
have the egotistical belief that their existence should be important and have meaning. When the men
realize their cries for salvation are not answered, they settle into despair. However, near the end of
the story, the characters new awareness of the universe and the idea of loneliness causes them to
become spiritually weary. At this point, all sensations and thoughts of pain and pleasure lose their
meaning as well. Crane also uses the eight cigars as a symbol. "The correspondent...found therein
eight cigars. Four of them were soaked with sea–water; four were perfectly scatheless. ...somebody
produced three dry matches; and thereupon the four waifs rode impudently in their little boat and,
with assurance of impending rescue shining in their eyes puffed at the big cigars, and judged well

made producing multiplayer software much easier for anyone to do.
Small Teams new to the game design, no longer need to worry about licensing the library and work
on providing the product they want to provide. Since the purchase, development of RakNet appears
limited, the software itself appears bug free and the reported bugs that exist seem to have forks in
the GitHub repositories.
Advantages of use
RakNet is a flexible networking engine that treats the users time as precious, keeping 'bookkeeping'
to a minimum, such as storing connected IP's, storing a GUID for connected users, pings, dropouts.
This frees development time to work on the project. Alongside the minimal approach for users, the
engine is well documented with explanations and examples of how to set up certain situations a user
may need. This includes plugins designed alongside the general development of RakNet, to give

41. Linux And Microsoft Operating Systems Essay
Abstract
Linux and Microsoft operating systems have been developed and marketed in two very different
ways. Microsoft has become synonymous with monopoly and substandard software, while Linux is
based on free, open source and the concept of open standards, full disclosure and sharing. Microsoft
attempts to discourage consumers from using the Linux solution by suggesting that the operating
system is less than perfect, yet it remains blind to its own operating system's problems existent
within Windows 95/98 and Windows NT.
It's a well–known fact that Microsoft dominate the software market despite these facts. Are they
operating within legal and ethical boundaries? And is it possible that they could fall from grace
because of this?

Proprietary systems, such as DOS, Macintosh, VMS and MVS, traditionally have had nothing in
common, and vendors and systems integrators have had extreme difficulty porting applications
among them.
UNIX is an open system, and has recently seen quite well established market gains, and there are
several reasons for this. Above all, it is solid, dependable, standard and scalable. Workstations are
becoming popular and competitive with the ascendance of NT. Popularity is also due to the fact that
it's open source – ‘Companies in the US that are already using open source operating systems plan
to use it on almost 23% of their desktop machines by January 2002. Open source software will run
more than 34% of their company's servers by 2002.' (USA Today 06/01/00)
While companies like IBM, Oracle, and Netscape have begun to integrate their business model with
open source, many traditional software companies continue to focus on purely proprietary solutions.
In the web server space, Microsoft's complete denial of the open source phenomenon is almost
amusing. The Apache web server has more than 50% of the web serving market according the
Netcraft survey (http://www.netcraft.com/survey,07/01/02).

43. Persuasive Essay On Gun Control
The discussion of gun control has been widely present throughout the recent years. The right to bear
arms, stated in the second Amendment, has increasingly been taken advantage of and has caused
significant issues to today's society. This debate has grown immensely as mass shootings have been
more prevalent in the past decade. The most recent and horrifying incident on October 1st of this
year when a Los Vegas man, Stephen Paddock, opened fire from his hotel room onto a country
concert killing 59 and injuring 500, reveals that more gun control regulation is a must. Gun control
is an important topic to be discussed considering guns are not only being used to harm what can be
innocent people, like in mass shootings, but also used to harm oneself. Gun violence in the United
States has produced a culture that threatens everyone with the fear of accidental death, suicides,
domestic violence, and mass shootings. In 2011, over 11,000 people were murdered with firearms
and another 467,300 were victims of non–fatal firearm crimes (Koper 286). One child under twelve
years old has been killed every other day by a firearm (Braman et al. 287). In 2015 alone, there were
more than 270 mass shootings in the United States (Braman et al. 287). Among the more than
40,000 people who commit suicide each year, about half of them use guns to do so (Brocklin). All of

In his short story "The Open Boat," Stephen Crane presents a view of Nature's significance and of
men's insignificance in Nature. The story commences with the crew of a sunken steamboat braving
the unforgiving sea in their ten–foot dinghy. Consisting of a captain, an oiler, a cook, and a
correspondent, the crew is attempting to reach either a house of refuge or a life–saving station off
the coast of the Mosquito Inlet Lighthouse. Throughout the entirety of this piece of literature, Nature
bestows upon the crew both blessings and hindrances. When the correspondent is attempting to
swim to shore near the end of the story, and becomes unable to handle the current, Nature gifts him
with a wave that carries him close to the beach. Crane writes, ... Show more content on

oiler, rowed more than the rest of the crew, he died at the hand of Nature; however, Nature did not
cry or feel remorse for what it had done. The perspective of Nature Crane presents in "The Open
Boat" is that people are at the whim of almighty Nature and that it is apathetic in showing mercy to
individual fates; one cannot entirely win when in a fight with nature. In reference to this Crane
writes, "When it occurs to a man that nature does not regard him as important, and that she feels she
would not maim the universe by disposing of him, he at first wishes to throw bricks at the temple,
and he hates deeply the fact that there are no bricks and no temples" (399). Crane's primary focus on
the men is their individual existence in nature and making sense of that existence. Humans are

An operating system is a considered a set of programs that schedule tasks, assign storage and
presenting an interface to the user. There are many operating systems to choose from. Some are
created for personal use, some for business use, and some can be used for both. One of the biggest
differences is whether the operating system is open source or closed source. Operating systems are
created with programming code. Programmers are responsible for writing the source code, which is
compiled into executable code. This executable code is what creates the product ran on computers.
An open source system is a system in which the source code is visible. A closed source system keeps
the source code hidden.

systems offer software for a variety of uses that include personal, server and mobile.

Linux
Red Hat
Unix Windows 97, XP, 7, Vista
Versions of Window Server
Mac OS X
Closed source systems are usually found in personal computers because the level of expertise
needed to use them is minimal. There are many factors to consider when determining which system
to use. The level of expertise of the user, the costs of the system and any add–ons, and the flexibility
of the system must all be considered. The type of application also plays some role in the decision.
Both types can be found in personal, server, and mobile applications. However, open source systems

ABSTRACT
This study examines the view that self–awareness gradually develops with a shift from physical to
psychological characteristics whilst the locus of self–knowledge progressively transfers from others
to the self. Previous research implementing semi–structured self concept interviews to investigate
self descriptions amongst young children of various age groups supported these findings,
underpinning the theories of a gradual emergence and elaboration of the self as a subject and the self
as an object of knowledge. In the current study, a comparison ... Show more content on

Rosenberg's (ibid) findings indicated that younger children tend to describe more physical activities
and characteristics whilst this gradually develops to include relationships and interpersonal traits,
eventually shifting to more inner qualities. Rosenberg (1979, as cited in: The Open University, 2010,
pp. 21–22) also found that the locus of self–knowledge gradually shifted from a reliance on another
person as point of reference for judging themselves, towards the self.
This study intends to investigate, and confirm, the findings of Rosenberg (1979, as cited in: The
Open University, 2010, pp. 21–22) by analysing transcripts of semi–structured interviews with two
children aged eight and sixteen. This was done within the meaning of investigating the development

59. The Open Boat Naturalism Essay
Naturalism, the Supernatural, and the Metaphysical in Stephen Crane's The Open Boat In Stephen
Crane's The Open Boat, the context of the dinghy and the four surviving people in it shows the
struggle of human nature as well as the need for hope that is a concept often created from
dangerous, and more often than not, desperate situations. The captain, the cook, the correspondent,
and the oiler, are embodiments of Crane's fiction about the human psyche. The sea, which is
treacherous, as well as the islands which the characters believe can save them from death from
drowning, is a vision of the reality that is suspended in point of view and is an abstraction of the
reflection of Crane's perspective of perception, metaphysics, and the extraordinary experience.
Crane's point in doing this kind of style in The Open Boat is to confront the fear of death by facing
it, as described in the interpretation of its non–human nature. The story opens with the line "None of
them knew the color of the sky" (1), and they are described to have come from a shipwreck. The

and even their emotions. It is fully justified in how the correspondent viewed the others, with "full

The rapid world of technology is quickly changing the way knowledge is learned, and taught. Those
who have access to the World Wide Web have new ways of exploring the realm of education from
all directions instead of retrieving knowledge from traditional places like college. However, college
is different because it is not only a place to gain knowledge, but also an environment that prepares
students for the real world. In Davidson's paper, she believes that we need to change the way higher
education is structured and adapt techniques that are already integrated within open source media, in
order for students to be equipped for the technological global environment. Instead today's
education is only preparing them for a Taylorized industrial age labor market. Davidson poses a new
paradigm for the way we perceive modern education. She introduces three principles that are used in
open source media that applicable to higher education. The three principles that online platforms
support are, 1) an openness of contribution, 2) elimination of boundaries, and 3) voluntarism in the

Therefore, it falls into the distinct categories of shareware (demo or trial software where you can

required) and payware (traditional pay–to–use software) but not freeware (since its free). In all cases
however, the source code is hidden from the users, so that the rights holders (the software
publishers) can sell the binary executable (source code).
History:
Commercial software has been around since 1948 (when the first computer which could hold
software was created, nicknamed baby). The history of FOSS has a strong connection with the
'hackers' in Massachusetts Institute of Technology. These hackers in 1970s created something
ARPANET (known today as the internet). There were discussions to sell it commercially however
the university and its hackers were strongly opposed to such an idea for they had worked with the
ideology that sharing information is a virtue and they had a moral duty to provide knowledge to the
world. These early hackers stayed true to this ideology and made their software completely free with
the source code completely accessible. Richard Stallman was one of the main people who pushed
forward this ideology preventing the university to monetize the ARPANET and the software they

worth of wealth. I think a person with a conscience wouldn't do that sort of thing except perhaps if
he would otherwise die."
–– Richard Stallman[1]
Richard Stallman, the best–known figure of free software movement professes an absolute refusal of
any notion of commercial software. His idea is revolutionary but straightforward: software should
be free, period. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Stallman's ideology in free software sharing inverts the mainstream commercial software industry,
which consider source code and underlying instructions are companies' private properties. These
properties are usually guarded strictly and rarely shared under licensing terms. The most typical
example of such software companies is the software giant, Microsoft. It sells users the right of using
its software in terms of number of copies. In other words, it requires a separate license for each
Microsoft Windows that is installed on each computer. The company originally designed the
software owns the source code. All bug fixes to the software require a long and ineffective reporting
process. In addition, you have to pay a separate fee for any upgrades to the software year after year.
Raise the ethical issue
As a result, there are overwhelming criticisms against Microsoft. People view Microsoft as an
unethical business entity by creating "monopoly" and using unfair tactics to control the software
market as a whole. Although it is important to realize that even Microsoft does not technically fit the
definition of monopoly, there is no doubt that it processes tremendous power in the software
industry. Along with this magical power, it could make influential decisions among governments'
rules and regulations in terms of intellectual property laws and foreign trade policies. Thus, we have
to keep in mind that acting within the laws does not necessarily acting in an

will work best to meet the needs of the company can outlined in a plan. This software plan needs to
identify all software applications being used or supporting the business organization. An inventory

organizations mission intent. The software selection should be able to use existing or provide
compatibility with their databases. However one must clearly define the intended functionality the
organization is trying to get from the software and how it will be applied to their existing
information technology (IT) systems.
Software Solutions There is a lot of smaller companies that are moving into open source software
arena versus proprietary, because of the cost of savings. However, they are some disadvantages to
going to the open source venue. Although many open source software's provide free to download
trials to explorer their so called "free" software you still have to pay in order to receive customer
support. This means you still have to pay for support that may or may not be available 24 hours a
day. The advantage of proprietary software is you are supported for bugs and fixes that can impact a
company. This support covers every license registration purchased by your company. According to a
survey by Barracuda Networks, Matt Asay, states "Sixty–five percent cited a lack of

82. Naturalisn In The Open Boat Essay example
In most traditional happy ending stories, there always appears to be evidence of supernaturalism.
However, Stephen Crane leaves out all fairy tale elements and mystical creatures in his "The Open
Boat". Throughout the whole story, there are constant examples of the raw, realistic and indifferent
parts of life. In Stephen Crane's "The Open Boat" naturalism is apparent through the use of
language, literary techniques, and thematic elements.
First of all, Crane's use of language played a large part in the naturalistic feel of the story. Crane
makes sure to use specific phrases and words that describe things exactly the way that they actually
appear. He does not 'butter up' or 'candy coat' their descriptions in order to prevent the reader ...

It served as a reminder for the men on board– that their lives could be taken from them at any
moment, and it was a mystery as to when they will die or if they will stay alive. It was the idea that
fate was chewing at them at the mercy of the giant powerful ocean. "When it occurs to a man that
nature does not regard him as important, and that she feels she would not maim the universe by
disposing of him, he at first wishes to throw bricks at the temple, and he hates deeply the fact that
there are no bricks and no temples." Similarly to what Crane said– nature could care less if these
men die, and it will not change its course just to fulfill the wants of theses abandoned men. It stops
for no one.
The dialogue played out by these men as also an important literary technique. They continue to
banter back and forth, displaying hope and loss of hope. There are plenty of examples throughout
the story that show the men trying and trying again to regain this hope. They know in the back of
their minds that there is a slim chance that they will survive this situation. Crane uses this realistic
dialogue to show these men's emotions, and decline of confidence. Realistically, anyone who is
caught in a situation like this tries to look for any of the positives because they are trying to maintain
that glimpse of hope. For example, the cook says "'There's a house of refuge
