Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid by Bill Bryson: My sister and brother were considerably older than I - my sister by six years, my brother by nine - and so were effectively adults from my perspective. They were big enough to be seldom around for most of my childhood. For the first few years of my life, I shared a small bedroom with my brother. We got along fine. My brother had constant colds and allergies, and owned at least four hundred cotton handkerchiefs, which he devotedly filled with great honks and then pushed into any convenient resting place under the mattress, between sofa cushions, behind the curtains. When I was nine he left for college and a life as a journalist in New York City, never to return permanently, and I had the room to myself after that. But I was still finding his handkerchiefs when I was in high school. Q/ As a ?boy, what did Bill think of his brother and sister None of other options They did not enjoy his company. They did not seem like children to him.…

Software is becoming more powerful, but it's also less transparent and more complex.

In today’s technologically advanced society, is there really privacy? Based on your own personal experiences with social media (Facebook, Twitter, Tik Tok, Instagram, or Snapchat), do you feel that individuals should be held accountable for their actions outside of the workplace? Is it possible that, due to the technological advances in smart phones, tablets, and other communication devices, workplace and personal privacy have meshed together to a point that what was once personal space is now fair game in the hiring and firing practices?

In your 'creative notebook', make a list of gestures and indicative behaviors as if you were writing a how-to guide for the impersonation of the character you wish to de­scribe. When you have completed the list, choose the items you like best and incorpo­rate them into a portrait of the person. Here is an example: Giggle Grow your legs long Twist your perfect hair into a perfect knot at your neck Burp the alphabet Get a dog and don't walk him Get a cat and don't play with it Say, "Com'on let's talk about me." Tell your mom you love her Hold her hand except when other kids can see Eat five popsicles a day Eat spaghetti every other day Eat pizza on the days you don't eat spaghetti Wash and cut your new Barbie's hair the hour you get her Look like Grace Kelly, talk like Butthead

Don't give me the chegg copy paste answer. It will cost you the one dislike definitely. scenario: The automation in our lives has changes much, and so as in our purchasing and selling approaches. Big food chains and Pizza makers are also in quest of means to automate their production so that best and quick services can be provided to the customers. A company called “Eating Bytes” has gone one step forward. The company is planning to use the self-driving cars for their orders delivery. Furthermore, the company has taken its entire kitchen to the inside of the driverless car. Once an order is received from a customer, the car will be heading towards the destination and in the meantime the pizza will be baked, prepared and packed within that car. So, from order taking to order delivery, all the processes have been automated. Question:  Identify the Objects and draw a Sequence diagram for the above scenario that how the different objects interact and communicate among each other.

Imagine you are an avid movie goer and you prepared a list of n movies you are considering watching. As a thorough researcher, you prepared a list of k friends, whose movie advice you trust. You have two ways to evaluate a movie: watch it or ask a friend if it is worth seeing. A movie typically lasts two hours. Usually when you speak with one of your friends, you also spend two hours talking. However, during these two hours, you can discuss multiple movies your friend has seen. Address the dilemma in each of the following two cases: For each movie, you are debating to either see it or speak to all of your friends and hear their recommendations. You only have a total of t hours. You have two choices: a) Design a polynomial-time algorithm for choosing t/2 recommenders, or b) prove that the problem is NP-hard. Decide between the two choices and explain your decision with mathematical rigor. A more efficient approach is to choose between watching the movie and speaking with at least one…

Here I am again with my special Omicron Juice! Here goes the story: I have three kids- Alpha, Beta and Gamma. Every morning I need to prepare them for school, serve them breakfast and say them bye. You might think that I don't like all these. But to be honest I do like it, specially I have fun serving them breakfast. Every morning I serve them Omicron Juice. But I can't always pour the juice in equal amounts. If they don't get equal amounts of juice then they start fighting. I use two other glasses to make the juice amount equal. To be more specific... There are three glasses with juice of amount A, B and C. I have two other glasses which can hold exactly K amount of drinks each and initially empty. Let's call these two extra glasses as cups to avoid ambiguity. In one operation, I pour K amount of drinks from one of the three glasses to my first cup, and from one of the two remaining glasses to my second cup. Next I pour the drink from my first cup to one of the three glasses and from…

Computer Science Using computers and other automated tools to grade true-false and multiple-choice tests is widespread, but grading essays has been reserved for instructors. Until now. Software developed by a nonprofit enterprise founded by Harvard and MIT recently released software that can grade student essays and short written answers. Students answer online instead of in a blue book and immediately receive their grade after clicking a Send button. The software uses artificial intelligence (it initially “learns” how to grade an instructor’s test by reviewing 100 essay exams that the instructor scored) and is designed to free up professors for other tasks, as well as give students the opportunity to immediately revise their graded essays for an improved grade. But does the system work? Are the automated grades similar to what a human grader would award? Skeptics (including the National Council of Teachers of English) say no. Objections include a lack of tests to support the validity…

Nowadays, a lot of everyday objects, like roller coasters, cars, elevators, and ovens, are really computers or information systems. Normally, you wouldn't connect them to a computer or information system. There are benefits without a doubt, but what about possible disadvantages? Do you think you would feel more or less at ease riding a computer-controlled roller coaster, just as an example? The issue of whether potential benefits outweigh potential downsides arises when more and more commonplace tasks are computerized. In that case, why not?

Studying Sensation & Perception has significantly influenced my understanding of photography, particularly in relation to visual attention and depth perception. As an amateur photographer, I've found that applying concepts from the course has enhanced my ability to compose compelling images and understand how viewers perceive them. One key concept from Sensation & Perception that has directly impacted my photography is the idea of selective attention. Selective attention refers to our ability to focus on specific aspects of our environment while filtering out irrelevant information. In photography, this translates to the photographer's ability to direct the viewer's attention to the subject of the photograph. Understanding how selective attention operates allows me to compose images in a way that guides the viewer's gaze towards the focal point of the scene. For example, I may use leading lines, contrast, or framing techniques to draw attention to the main subject while…
