In Spike Jones’s Her, the quote between Theodore asking Samantha “Are you mine or are you not mine?” Samantha replies, “No Theodore, I’m yours and not yours.” This quote can be interpreted many different ways. Initially I interpreted this two different ways, the first was that because she was an operating system that was assigned to multiple users, she was his operating system, but she was also 8,316 others’ operating system so he could not be her only love. So she was his and not his also being
The CERN Large Hadron Collider (Or LHC) is a particle accelerator – the largest and most powerful accelerator in the world right now. Located near Geneva, Switzerland, the Large Hadron Collider’s mission is to force particle collisions so that they can be observed. The Large Hadron Collider is twenty-seven kilometres in circumference, and is also located partly in France. There are four main parts to the Large Hadron Collider - LHCb, ALICE, CMS, and ATLAS. LHCb (LHC-beauty) looks for antimatter,
A physicist’s job is to use humanity’s understanding of how matter and energy interact to learn about the Universe. The job of physics, however, is to unite the four fundamental forces of nature: Gravity, Strong and Weak Nuclear, and electromagnetism, into a single physical model; A theory of everything. In the 20th century, physicists revolutionized humanity’s understanding of these forces and made great strides in uniting them, but the two theories which have brought humanity the closest to this
Have you ever wondered if time travel is possible? If so how would you use it? Space travel has been a question to many astronomers from around the world. According to space.com”We cannot avoid moving into our futures, but we can control the rate that we move through time.” So this is saying that space travel is possible we encounter it daily and it is possible to manipulate it. Overall time traveling would be a huge advantage. It would give us the ability to change our history, save important historical
same charged particles, yet the interactions between charged subatomic particles (protons, electrons, neutrons) that sometimes follow the principles of EMF (opposites attract, likes to repel) in an atom. The electromagnetic force will leave the proton Magic School Bus alone because the electrons are always moving at a fast rate that even if the electromagnetic force didn’t exist, the electrons would not attract and follow the EMF rules. Even though the electrons are 1/2000th the size of the protons
Oscillations (2015) In 2015, two separate groups of physicists on two separate sides of the globe, shared the Physics Nobel Prize for their “discovery of neutrino oscillations which demonstrate that neutrinos have mass”, thus opening a “new realm in particle physics”. Since the turn of the century, when compelling evidence supported the discovery that neutrinos seem to undergo metamorphosis, the research groups at the Super-Kamiokande Neutrino Observatory in Mt Kino Japan and the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory
Value Chain Analysis The value chain analysis identifies how ECCO can gain competitive advantage and create value in the company by separating the business system into a series of value-generating activities (NetMBA.com). ECCO is one of the world’s leading shoe manufacturers controlling 80% (Nielsen, Pedersen, & Pyndt 2008) of its entire supply chain and is considered to be a fully integrated vertical value chain. In ECCO’s case, this gives them the opportunity to manage all their production and
Death of Major CEO Leaves $15 Million to His Grandchildren Michael Scott Paper Company’s CEO, Michael Scott, passed away last Monday, August 22nd. The company sells paper in mass quantities to major business chains frequently, as in Staples and Office Depot. Scott, who was 92, had a peaceful and calm passing in Stanford Hospital in California. His will stated that of his $20 million dollar net worth, $5 million was to go to cancer research, and the rest of the $15 million was to be split evenly

Marketing strategy Customers Youth, families, tourists, older customers and the middle working class Product life cycle. According to Kotler, P. & Gary, A. (2011), the product life cycle has five stages namely product development, introduction, growth, maturity and decline stage. The stages are determined by the market share of the product. Before the product enters the market, there are no sales, as the product is being prepared for the market. There is market research that is being conducted. Introduction
Although there is a significant growth scope in the market, however the technology changes, e-business, social media have lowered the barriers for the new entrants and increased the competition based on quality, price, convenience and brand identity. The existing firms have the additional advantage in terms of brand identity, capital expenditure and economics of scale over the new entrants. Additionally the aggressive campaigning and the brand extension by the existing competitors may create barriers
John Rawls developed his theory of justice as an amalgamation of intuitionism and utilitarianism in order to form an acceptable, reasonable dominant paradigm that answered how a state should distribute its social primary goods fairly. While this theory is important in developing and understanding of political philosophy, its failure to be accepted as a dominant paradigm stems from its failure to adequately answer objections from both the political left and right. Rawlsian Justice is a theory of

1.1 Stress and Stressors The term stress was derived from physics by Hans Selye, an endocrinologist who has been regarded as the father of research in stress. He proposed that ‘stress is a non-specific strain on the body caused by irregularities in normal body functions’. Stress is anything that disturbs the “homeostasis” of the body (Schneiderman, 2005). It can also be defined as the inability of an animal to cope up with its surrounding environment (Dobson, 2000). It is characterised by physiological
All matter is made of particles, which can act a certain way depending on the differences in forms (liquid, solid, gas) and transitions, which can be observed with different properties as well as different appearances (size, color, etc). In the activity “How Small?”, we smashed a sugar cube to get smaller pieces of sugar. We also identified different types of sugar using properties. This evidence means that the sugar can have multiple sizes and different properties but can still be the same thing
INTRODUCTION In this essay I am writing about some particles that I researched or took notes on. The particle I researched for was the Higgs Boson. The particle I took notes on are the Boson, Quarks, Leptons, and Dark Matter. Higgs Boson Who Was Higgs? Peter Higgs was born on the 29th of May 1929 in Newcastle upon Tyne in the UK. Peter Higgs was an emeritus(emeritus means a person retired from professional life but allowed to keep as an honorary the title of the rank in the last office held) professor
to being a particle physicist as I am to walking on the moon. As a result of my lacking in knowledge and inability to understand Academic Journals I turned to an unorthodox place for information. I went to Youtube.com and searched Higgs Boson. There are a surprising number of videos that discuss this topic and the one I chose to watch was a TEDx talk by Dan Hooper Ph.D. in Napperville, Illinois. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sw4_9xhGzjo). In this talk he breaks down subatomic particles and how they
Nuclear Research (CERN) is a the largest organization in the Particle-Physics and High-Energy physics field. CERN provides scientists resources so that they can do their research. Whenever renovations are needed for the Large Hadron Collider CERN funds them. The Collider is the largest scientific project of all time. Scientist use it so that they can gain evidence for theories or to disprove theories. The Collider also helps find new particles that can benefit life on Earth. What is the Large Hadron
These days, fast fashion become very diverse and almost all countries have fast fashion shops. Put simply, the fast fashion is cheap, easy to buy, and fashionable products. In Japan, there are a lot of native fast fashion brands such as Uniqlo, and Shimamura. However, recently, there are not originally from Japan brands too, for example, H&M, Zara, and Forever21. These fast fashion brands became great social phenomenons, and its sale is increasing rapidly. In contrast, there are high luxury brands
