The lady would be doing the pierces. Tiffany was up first. John put rubber gloves on as Tiffany sat in the reclining chair. He opened the oven like device and got the now sterile purple belly ring. Mary now had gloves on also. She told Tiff that ... skin. mary then straddled the chair that Tiffany was sitting on and instructed my friend no to try grabbing her if it hurt since that would be a natural reaction to somebody causing you pain.

- 872: Reproductive Medicine
- ... eggs of women who were undergoing routine surgeries for reproductive problems, and then implanting them into other women, some of who became pregnant. Who are the real parents and who deserve custody of these children? John and Luanne Buzzanca of Orange County, California were an infertile couple. They hired a married woman, Pamela Snell, to carry a child to term for them; a child made from the sperm and egg of anonymous, unrelated donors. One month before Jaycee Buzzanca was born, John filed for divorce complicating the situation further. John claims the divorce relieved him of parental responsibilities (according to California law, fatherhood is defined by biological parentage or marriage to the child’s birth mother.) Luanne also had no parental right to the ...
- 873: Creative Writing: Bob's World
- ... to school they said their good-bye's -- she had trigonometry and he had basic computers. As the teacher started her usual rant about this and that, Bob turned to his brilliant (like him) friend John when he said. "Hey man didn't I see you walking with that Lucille chick?" John asked him. "Ya I mean she isn't smart or as good at sports like you and me but I like her anyway," Bob replied. "But Bob man, she just smacks of effort, how does one person do so much work?" John asked Bob. "I know that is a serious letdown, doing stuff sucks, I don't know why she does it," Bob used his usual drowsy voice. "She should just hang out like us and ...

In Terminator 2, the T800 is a multipurpose cyborg assigned to save John Connor, given a series of “mission parameters,” initially characterized by his computer logic. He often advises John based on permutations of the T1000's next move, similar to the way a chess computer decides what move to make next. Just as the T800 is designed to perform solely as a unemotional computer ... already changed. Such a process implies an exponential curve, characterized by a extremely slow rate of change at the time short after their creation followed by rapid increases. The T800 is extremely slow to understand John's justification for why “you just can't go around killing people,” because a purely logical brain cannot impose new boundaries on its decisions without parameters. In other words, logical reasoning requires that all ...
- 875: Jane Eyre - Nature
- ... human nature. As the shopkeeper and others coldly turn her away, we discover that human nature is weaker than nature. However, there is one crucial advantage in human nature: it is flexible. It is St. John and his sisters that finally provide the charity Jane so desperately needs. They have bent what is established as human nature to help her. Making this claim raises the issue of the nature of St. John -- has he a human nature, or is he so close to God that his nature is God-like? The answer is a bit of both. St. John is filled with the same dispassionate caring that God's nature provided Jane in the heath: he will provide, a little, but he doesn't really care for her. We get the feeling on ...
- 876: The Computer Underground
- ... the message section of the "home board" contained a lively debate on the desireability of a retaliatory response, and the moderates prevailed. Influenced especially by such science fan- tasy as William Gibson's Neuromancer (1984), John Brunner's The Shockwave Rider (1975), and cyber-punk, which is a fusion of ele- ments of electronic communication technology and the "punk" sub- culture, the hacker ethic promotes resistance to the very forms that ... credo). Phreaking broadly refers to the practice of using either technology or telephone credit card numbers (called "codez") to avoid long distance charges. Phreaking attained public visibili- ty with the revelation of the exploits of John "Cap'n Crunch" Draper, the "father of phreaking" (Rosenbaum, 1971).

- ... of conceptual dependency in a program called MARGIE (memory, analysis, response generation in English.) MARGIE was a program that analyzed English sentences, turned them into semantic representations, and generated inferences from them. Take for example: "John went to a restaurant. He ordered a hamburger. It was cold when the waitress brought it. He left her a very small tip." MARGIE didn't work. Schank and his colleagues found that "any single ... people unhappy would be so far down the line that it wouldn't be looked at and as a result MARGIE wouldn't have understood the story well enough to answer the question, "Why did John leave a small tip?" While MARGIE applied syntax and semantics well, it forgot about pragmatics. To solve this problem, Schank moved to Yale and teamed up with Professor of Psychology Robert Abelson. They realized that ... Crevier, 1994, page 167) So Robert Wilensky created PAM (Plan Applier Mechanism). PAM interpreted stories by linking sentences together through a character's goals and plans. Here is an example of PAM (Daniel Crevier, 1994): John wanted money. He got a gun and walked into a liquor store. He told the owner he wanted some money. The owner gave John the money and John left. In the process of understanding ...

(Bryant, Jr. and Dethloff 253). Those, at that time very controversial issues, brought them, but especially Spencer, a lot of negative publicity. In 1875, the economist John Elliott Cairnes announced that Spencer "transferred laws of physiology to the domain of social science." Ten years later, the Belgian sociologist, Emile de Laveleye added that Spencer was "anxious to see the law of the ... It was also an era of extreme riches for some, and of wretched poverty for others. It was an era of the "Robber Barons", as Matthew Josephson called them. One of such "Robber Barons" was John D. Rockefeller. With his savings of $5,000, at a very young age John D. Rockefeller opened his first oil refinery. At that time oil was used only for lighting and not many expected ...
- 879: The Yellow Wallpaper: Male Oppression
- ... p. 630). This shows that from the beginning, the narrator can see something is wrong with this house. Her husband responds to her discomfort of the house as a father would respond to a child. “John laughs at me, of course, but one expects that in a marriage.” This shows that women were not taken serious and their opinions were merely laughed at. One part of the house that could be ... In most cases, a window symbolizes a view of hope. In this story though, the window has bars on it, symbolizing imprisonment or oppression. An additional symbol of the narrator’s oppression is her husband, John. He is considered to be “a physician of high standing” (p.630). This along with the fact that he is her husband makes any opposition from the narrator seemingly impossible. To make matters worse, John treats the narrator not as his wife, but more as a helpless child. The narrator eventually acts childlike when she states, “Nobody would believe what an effort it is to do what little I ...
