Blown to Bits Chapter 4 was all about the organization of bits, and how the internet is organized. After all, there is simply so much data on the internet, one must wonder exactly how search engines such as Google can pull up websites from this virtual sea of chaos. Well, at first, the internet was mainly a repository for information. Websites were browsed in a hierarchical order, with the websites of most precedence appearing before those with less prominence, which makes a lot of sense if you think about it. I mean, if a scientist was looking for a source with which to cite his paper, this hierarchical system would be pretty great. For a while, this system worked great, but then a ton of new websites began popping up everywhere as it became…

Schmidt, the author of Okay for Now, develops Doug Swieteck into a more mature human throughout his book. Doug’s father is not very caring, and his mother does not do much about that, so he grows up living life essentially on his own. Life is hard enough with his family issues, but suddenly, Doug's father forces him to pack all his belongings up and move to a town he not only does not know, but one he does not like. His attitude is nowhere near positive toward his new town, Marysville, so he is…

the Hope Valley kids who never cease to amaze me, and even Rip did a great job! The episode starts with Elizabeth and Abigail walking down main street discussing Elizabeth's new position as a tutor for the kids. She explains how it doesn't feel right for her to just be the tutor, and that she misses being a teacher. During this time, Jack is away attending Doug's funeral. Elizabeth expresses her concerns for Jack and how he's grieving. The entire funeral scene is completely heartbreaking. Doug…

of the major creatives and execs behind Falling Skies at the time - about two years prior to appearing on the show. I found out later I got really close to coming on board, but it didn't pan out. So I put it out of my mind, and two years later I got called back for this super interesting Nazi-esque character, Kent Matthews. I knew right away that I had to do this. It was a character that was so brutal, brainwashed and committed to his cause, yet spoke in a manner that was charming and elegant.…

of failure is not a universally positive motivator. In some cases it is neither positive nor a motivator. Failure may be described as the eventual and inevitable by-product of the expenditure of efforts to achieve success. A fear of failure has never been anything but an abstract to me, because I do not embrace failure as an acceptable outcome. Success may be attained by researching methods to achieve an action or by avoiding problems through observing failures of other people. In the study…

really misses her. With every clip of her smiling there is a longer clip of him working out or doing something new at the gym. This is when the chorus plays again. This time the couple is in the car and he grabs his bottle of pills while driving. She takes them out of his hand and hands him a card. The person watching cannot tell what the card is for but it is clearly foreshadowing for something. The girl then makes him pull over and she gets out of the car still exasperated. The lyrics as…

starts, and any of my classmates are even awake, I unwillingly go for a quick three mile run. With sweatpants and a sweatshirt on, the long thirty minute run drags on to what seems like forever. As the treadmill slows to a stop, I hop off, wipe away the sweat, and return to the locker room for a shower. I complete my next workout in at practice after school. I need to get a consistent sweat going before practice, so I go for a hard run around the hallways. Once practice starts, dehydration and…

hat cut out could be added to the top of the device to further explore the steampunk theme. This is a rather simple but effective design. One concerning factor about this example is that it appears to be quite thin. I would prefer a chunkier clock with multiple layers. The example is clearly made predominantly using laser cutting…

Everyone comes from a specific cultural background, but they all have decent morals in common. Also this group needs to be better understood because people think wrestlers are violent and have aggressive behaviors when in reality they are the opposite. There is no arguing with the fact that wrestlers are aggressive, violent, look like they have no manners on the mat, but once we step off it is as if these wrestlers are a completely different person, they care more for the feelings of others. Now…

Another Pound of Nothing For any wrestler, it´s a long and excruciating process, but well worth the pain to reach the pinnacle of his journey: to be a state champion. Before the wrestling season, a wrestler needs to be mentally and physically prepared. This journey is anything but easy, and sometimes to have the most success, wrestlers must cut weight. Cutting weight puts the wrestler at a lower weight, helping him control wrestling matches easier. The wrestler has to create physical goals…
