On Friday November 13, I had the pleasure of seeing one of Moliere’s most famous theatrical comedies, Tartuffe, performed at the University Theatre of Cal State San Bernardino Ronald E. Barnes Theatre. In the play, Orgon, a wealthy Parisian patriarch falls under the influence of a hypocrite named Tartuffe. Luckily, Tartuffe’s antics do not fool the rest of the family or friends. In order to show Orgon how terrible Tartuffe really is, his wife Elmire, takes matters into her own hands. She…

Orgon, the head of the household in the comedy Tartuffe: a respected man by his friends and family and righteously served the King; he is a rational, sane man but questions emerge when he becomes ludicrous and he is not the same man as he was before. He demonstrates a form of satire because of his strong-willed mind of Tartuffe and then being tricked into the fraudly innocence of Tartuffe. His actions lead to different conflicts within the family which leads us to believe that he is careless…

Tartuffe, by Moliere, revolves around a family structure where tensions escalate due the presence of hypocrisy within the household. This conflicting hypocrisy presents itself in the form of a man known as Tartuffe.(Moliere) While the family dynamic is being challenged by this man’s false nature, an even more concerning theme is initially introduced, this being the correlation between the patriarch and stability. Orgon, the father, is passionately in favor of this man’s false representation of…

In turn, the understaffing problem can be at least partially attributed to lack of funding. Almost everyone pays a “9-1-1 service fee” as part of their phone bill. This money is then used to help fund 911 dispatch centers. Except this is not necessarily true. “The FCC’s fee reports show that since 2008, at least 20 states [including California] have diverted those dollars elsewhere. . . New York state, which has seen multiple…

Introduction Functional electrical stimulation (FES) or neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is an therapeutic technique by which small electrical impulses are applied to a paralyzed or spastic muscle in order to induce contraction and thereby improve its function. Traditionally, NMES refers to those stimulatory protocols directed at increasing strength and FES with function. FES can stimulate muscle contraction for exercise, bladder management, grasping, standing, and walking, among…

The chi square value is then compared to the p-value, which is a critical value gotten from a chart based on the degree of freedom and percent of error which this experiment used as 0.05. If the chi square value was greater than the critical value, the hypothesis would be rejected, meaning there was too much error and observed results were way off from the expected results. However, if the chi square value was less than or equal to the critical value, then…

5. The news piece on the Aboriginal movement Idle No More (INM) by Chris Dart draws attention to the sudden explosion of support the movement gained a few years ago in its onset during a protest at Yonge and Dundas square. Although, the movements roots are based in fighting for aboriginal rights, the INM leaders realized that it is essential to engage Canadians outside the movement in order to achieve broader success. The news piece exposes that the environmental aspect within the INM movement…

Transformation is the first step in accepting one’s true potential. In Finding Forrester, Jamal, a talented high schooler, meets William Forrester, a hermit author. At first they seem to be two sides of the same coin, but as conflict occurs they rise above their fears and grow for the better. In chaotic confrontations, people’s faults become apparent, and they transform into who they really are. During confrontation, people realize their transformation into who they really are. Professor…

The graph would require to form a straight line in relation to the distance and LUX reading, to verify the inverse square law. The straight line would occur as the intensity of the light would gradually decrease, the further away it is analysed from the source. Conversely, if the distance squared was graphed alongside the light intensity, an ‘x’ would be created, as the distance squared increases the further away it gets. - Does the graph support your hypothesis? Why or why not? (2 marks)…
