- 1271: Advertiser Influence on the Media: Censorship and the Media
- ... 500 book publishers, 2,000 television stations, 1,700 daily newspapers, and seven major movie studios . Such a large number of media outlets should foster free expression without the influence from outsiders. However, 23 corporations control over 50 percent of the business in each medium . In some cases they have a virtual monopoly . Of the 1,700 daily papers, 98 percent are local monopolies and fewer than 15 corporations control most of the country's daily circulation . A handful of firms have most of the magazine business, with Time, Inc. alone accounting for about 40 percent of that industry's revenues . The three networks, Capital ... number of newspapers had advertisers threaten to withdraw or withdrew advertising over reporting of news or feature stories . However, only one-third of those newspapers caved in to those pressures . Amidst the corporate battle for control and influence of media outlets lies Blue Springs, Missouri, population 49,290 . This Midwestern community is home to Blue Springs South High School and the Jaguar Journal. The student reporters at the Jaguar Journal ...
- 1272: Hamlet: Madman or Misunderstood
- Hamlet: Madman or Misunderstood Shakespeare's tragic hero, Hamlet, and his sanity can arguably be discussed. Many aspects of the play support his loss of control in his actions, while other parts uphold his ability of dramatic art. The issue can be discussed both ways and altogether provide significant support to either theory. Throughout the play, there are indications from Hamlet ... 206). Hamlet tells his mother "That I essentially am not in madness, but mad in craft" (Act III, scene IV, lines 194-195). Hamlet believes in his sanity at all times. He never doubts his control over his sanity. "Hamlet realizes his flaw as a man of thoughts, rather than a man of actions. His cold act of Polonius' murder is out of rage and furious temper. He is sorry for ... death" Hamlet, a tragic hero, did not meet his end because he was sane or insane. He died because of his own tragic flaw of procrastination and grief. Whether he was sane or just lost control of his actions, both theories have sensible support. Hamlet, as seen from the beginning to the end, a prince that was grieve stricken, until a prince of rage and passion, has developed through the ...
- 1273: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest: Movie Analysis
- ... sanctioned them by being placed in the institution. Also, when McMurphy violates the norms of the institution by rioting with the other patients, and he attacks a hospital orderly, he is given shock treatment to control his emotions and behavior. This sanction was a medical treatment that was deemed necessary by the hospital staff because they felt that McMurphy, as well as two other patients, were out of control and insubordinate to the norms of the institution. In chapter seven of our text medicalization is discussed further. Each of the inmates in the institution are prescribed and administered medications by the hospital staff to control their illnesses. In fact, there is one scene that emphasizes "medication time", and each of the patients must take their prescribed medication in view of the head nurse. McMurphy questions the contents of his ...
- 1274: Overview of Video On Demand Systems
- ... T.123. The H.320 standards were ratified in 1990, but work continues to encompass connectivity across LAN-WAN gateways. The existing H.320 umbrella covers several general types of standards that govern video, audio, control, and system components. With many businesses using LANs to connect their PCs, the pressure is on to add videoconferencing to those networks. Since the H.320 standards currently address interoperability of video conferencing equipment across ... protocol have to be designed to allow for the latency created by their error correcting protocols. (DSS currently implements interleaving, Reed Soloman and viterbi decoding) QOS trade-offs can be quantified and analyzed (see " QOS control in GRAMS for ATM LAN", IEEE Journal of Selected Areas in Communications, by Joseph Hui) Networking, DBMS and server companies have been adopting upper layer protocols to VOD processes. Oracle Media Net utilizes a "sliding ... and then backs off. (This process theoretically diminishes disruptive latencies ) . Novell developed the Novell Embedded System Technology (NEST) and Netware to run over IPX/SPX protocols. The Novell implementation provides prioritization for video users. Flow control from the client to the server does not yet exist. (Interoperability, 10/95). WAN Types Distributing VOD information outside the LAN requires either a very high bandwidth WAN with guaranteed availability, or substantial buffering ...
- 1275: The Existence of External Forces
- ... are typified by natural laws, such as a dropped book falling to the ground, and those typified by the moral considerations of men. This distinction is important because it shows both that no man can control his environment contrary to the laws of natural or scientific laws, but neither are his actions completely out of his control. The first type of cause we can consider as accepted facts, these would be the natural and scientific laws that all objects must obey. It is obviously false to assume that a man may walk ... be bounded by his past experience and have little conscience effect on his decisions. However, as many dog owners know, dogs often do purely human things which show their ability to exert some level of control over their actions beyond the instinctual level. For example, a dog probably, on seeing his owner after being left alone for the day, would have the physical reaction of noting the presence of and ...
- 1276: Oran: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
- ... mistrusted everyone. When the plague descends upon the city, he develops an altruistic side. He sets out to help people. He becomes more amiable as the plague progressed through the population. He tries to take control of his life but becomes discouraged by circumstances. Rather than dealing with the circumstances effectively, he allows them to dominate his life. When the plague passes, and his philanthropic efforts are outmoded, he looses his ... his education, Paneloux does not exhibit an understanding of his fellow man. His narrow-minded interpretation of the plague as God's punishment for man's indiscretions is typical of organized religion's strong-arm control of the population. Paneloux was changed emotionally following Othan's son's death, but his sermon demonstrated that his religious beliefs still directed his vision for his congregation. Raymond Rambert comes to Oran an egotistical ... is compelled to relieve the suffering simply because he is a doctor. The plague has little affect upon him because his concern is for his patients, not himself. By concentrating on his mission, Rieux takes control of life and fights out of compassion, not anger or despair. He believes, "The thing is to do your job as it should be done." He is a good, moral person going into the ...
- 1277: The One Truth of Reality
- ... contradicts the nature of truth which is actually transcendent of all distinguishments in the "more tangible" environment. When a person focuses on what he (or she) sees and reacts to it and especially seeks to control his environment, he lives in a dualistic (or polyistic) state wherein lives his struggle to find non-struggle and peace and fulfillment. The illusion is what is sensed through these five senses and having perceived ... the realization of one truth, it is what to more muddled perceptions might be referred to as omnipotence, enlightenment; and when perceived is perceived means to communicate telepathically, to know clairvoyantly and prophetically, and to control and manipulate the various tangible (physical) and non-tangible "distinguishments" that are the reality on the "! lower" planes. To a perceiver focused on the distinguishments, and on the illusions of time and space, such phenomena ... Spiritual Influence Because the mind or consciousness is inherently the essence of the Mindscape, and because what it is in the lesser planes are the products of the upper planes, the mind essentially ultimately has "control" and influence over the lower planes. This "power" only comes through total self-awareness, the freedom of the mind from the struggles of the body and the confusion of symbolic darkness in the psyche, ...
- 1278: Hitler And World War I
- ... NSDAP. The conservatives and the Nazis shared the same values. Former Chancellor Papen and a majority of conservatives and nationalists thought since Nazis were a minority in the new Cabinet, they would be able to control Hitler. Social Democrats hoped Hitler's period of office would be short-lived and finished by the following elections. This was not the case. The Nazis were able to consolidate power quickly in the months ... to be authorized either by the Reichstag or presidential decree" (p.38). This led to massive violence from Nazis. The Nazis' "seizure of power was anything but peaceful" (p.38). The unpeaceful consolidation of Nazi control stretched to the state and society. "Independent pressure groups and political parties were dissolved or declared illegal" (p.39). This was to prevent any mobilization of action of one group against the Nazis. Hitler wanted complete control and did not want any interference in his plans. The only institution to remain untouched at the time was the army, chiefly because Hitler sought to win military loyalty rather than struggle for power. ...
- 1279: US Intervention In Haiti
- ... acted as his own personal death squad, as well as the Volontaires de la Securite Nationale (VSN) to act as his personal militia that was more loyal then the FAdH to Duvalier. He also took control of exports, increased taxation and took control of the import and distribution of basic commodities such as oil, flour, matches and tobacco. He made "their personal fortune the very raison d'etre of state revenues."(11) Some of these fortunes came with ... up immediately seeking to eliminate the brutal section-chief structure which had been used to such effect throughout the two Duvalier's regimes. As well students began to fight for the end of the state control of the University. By 1987 tensions between the revolutionary militants and the petite bourgeois merchant reformers began to tear apart their once united front. For the merchant bourgeois "democracy was a way to overcome ...
- 1280: Plus (computer Program)
- ... explicitly initialized, incremented, and tested in the loop. Cursor objects require maintaining a parallel cursor object hierarchy alongside each container class hierarchy. Since creation is explicit, cursors aren't elegant for describing nested or recursive control structures. They can also prevent a number of important optimizations in inner loops. An important language improvement in Sather 1.0 over earlier versions was the addition of iterators. Iterators are methods that encapsulate user defined looping control structures just as routines do for algorithms. Code using iterators is more concise, yet more readable than code using the cursor objects needed in C++. It is also safer, because the creation, increment, and termination ... defer the remaining arguments and execution until a later time. They support writing code in an applicative style, although iterators eliminate much of the motivation for programming that way. They are also useful for building control structures at run-time, for example, registering call-backs with a windowing system. Like other Sather methods, method closures follow static typing and behave with contravariant conformance. 1.5.7 Immutable and Reference Objects ...
