It was a pleasure reading this article. The concepts were a welcome review of sound’s role in filmmaking. ‘Designing a Movie For Sound’ by Randy Thom was thorough.. Normally, in the world of film today, audiences expect ‘nice’ songs to accompany story. These musical sound-bytes, designed by movie-makers, pander to their wishes, thus – contributing nothing of a shared, integrated structure to the overall mise-en-scene of the film. In stunning contrast, Thom discussed the legendary, extraordinary sound design of the movie, Apocalypse Now, describing how Coppola imbued the film into the sound, giving the characters “the opportunity to listen ...

Question #1 What are some possible negative outcomes of having replaced older electromechanical controls with computerized and digitalized controls? Before the era of computerized and digital controls, electromechanical controls were widely used. The switch from electromechanical controls to the computer and digital controls were motivated by the advantages the latter controls offered. For example, computerized and digitized controls not only offer a greater flexibility but also the ability to reprogram them dynamically when there is a need to change utility operation characteristics (Willis, 2004). Despite their disadvantages, computerized and digitalized controls have been found to play a key role ...

Question 1

With older electromechanical controls, the operator used to typically be located physically in closer proximity to the process, and therefore had direct sensory perception of the status of the process (e.g., sound, vibration, light) (Leveson 2011). Under computerized and digitalized controls, the operator no longer has a sensory perception of the status, other than what is viewed on the computer. This requires whomever is designing the control system to determine what information is important to the controller, and that the information provided in the feedback loop between the process and what is reported on the screen is complete and ...

“The Sufficiency of Christ”

Paper Due Date The Beginning One day a man was warned that there were severe storms coming. As the man sat in his living room reading, he heard a ruckus on the street and went to the window. When he looked out, he saw a jeep with rescue workers who called to him to climb in and they would save him from the impending floods. The man declined help, saying, “No thanks. I’m waiting for God.” The flood began by filling the streets and covering the bottom floor of the man’s house, so he climbed the stairs ...

Upon reading Jerri Cook’s excerpt, it appears to be anecdotal. It is a funny piece wherein she pokes fun at herself for her own actions, as she succumbs to the whims of society. The Excerpt also has serious undertones, allowing Cook to mention how we have shifted from a society that lets children grow and be who they are, to a society who fosters a sense of constant danger born out of the necessity to sell more things like safety equipment and antidepressants. There is too much information for it to be a simple thesis statement, and a ...

Search and Rescue (SAR) is a practice done to salvage people from disasters. This practice is done by professionals who are specialized in particular disasters, for instance, following a hurricane or earthquake. These professionals serve to protect life to the best of their ability in each and every operation they encounter. As such, they need as much information before venturing into a potentially life-threatening disaster area. A mechanism is, therefore, required to provide all the necessary information to the SAR professionals. An excellent solution is this scenario would be an unmanned aerial vehicle that can record and relay real-time ...

Something unusual or extraordinary that you have done (personal story)

Perhaps the most significant accomplishment any person can achieve in this world is the ability to empathize with those who suffer and in turn, scrape up enough energy to care and do something to make a change. How can anybody offer needed and necessary help without understanding the nature and degree of problems through which another person suffers? At a personal level, I was always sympathizing with cancer patients and donating money towards one research or another. However, I later realized that was not enough. One Saturday afternoon, my high school held a donation drive for the terminally ill ...

Campbell (2005) seems to focus largely on immigrant populations and how their cultural norms for child-rearing translate (or fail to do so) in middle America. It offers guidance for professionals to ensure an understanding, if not of the cultural differences themselves, that differences exist. According to Campbell, in order to be able to identify abuse and neglect and offer support to families in acclimating to child-rearing in their new homes, providers must be prepared to learn about the previous cultural norms of those families and help translate those to their new homes. This is a form of strength-based support: ...

A helicopter is a type of aircraft that depends on the work of a rotor, or in some helicopter models, a set of rotors, in order to gain lift and propulsion. In general, helicopters can be classified both as an aircraft and a rotorcraft. Basically, an aircraft pertains to any vehicle that can launched into the sky and actually fly; a rotorcraft, on the other hand, is any vehicle that uses a rotor or a set of rotors to push itself upward, backward, downward, or in lateral directions into the sky. Over the past decades and years, the role ...

Conflict resolution and ethic Intervention Communication is a central part in the conflict and ethnic intervention. Conflict can be termed as a misunderstanding between two or more parties.

The freshman year of college can be quite stressful both for students and the parents of the students.

Atrocities happen during times of war that are almost impossible to imagine. The idea that young soldiers would kill innocent people or be involved in war crimes does not seem possible. Yet it does happen. In World War II the Nazi leadership was ordering soldiers to round up and kill innocent people. During the Viet Nam War in 1968 the My Lai Massacre took place. In 2004 the torture and war atrocities being carried out in the Abu Ghraib Prison near Baghdad, Iraq were reported. This paper considers the reason the soldiers follow the rules even when the rules ...

Methods of Engagement in Afghanistan: Security, Identity and Economy

The cultural differences between the United States (U.S) and Afghanistan are huge. The U.S. celebrated its independence from the British Empire about 1236 years ago compared to Afghanistan’s population who has lived there for generations. The U.S. first became involved militarily there when it armed Afghan fighters against the Soviet invasion between 1979 and 1989. A devastating ten year Civil War followed. (Rohde & Crossette, 2001) Next the Taliban came to power and then lost power when the current U.S. war against Afghanistan started in 2001. Unfortunately after over a decade war in Afghanistan the suffering of the people seems ...

The dream of achieving a vertical flight has always been with Igor Sikorsky, a Russian-born aeronautical engineer for years before managing to develop the first machine that was associated with all we called helicopter today. He actually made several attempts until the dream was achieved. Some of his important failures regarding the building of helicopter is that of Circa that was built in 1910. The dream of eventually being carried into the air vertically came true eight years after submitting a patent for a modern looking helicopter in 1931. The first practical helicopter was the VS-300 that lifted him up. He never ...

HELICOPTER HOTEL PROMOTION

Discounts are a proper and effective way of attracting clients in this kind of hotel (Leiss, 1990, p. 9).

The concerned management can institute the process of stretching the discounts as far as they can. This will go a long way in ensuring that the hotel not only attracts new customers daily, but also gets to maintain the earned customers. Advertisement is a very effective way of increasing customer ...
