The eNotes Blog Bookless Libraries TheyreComing

Bookless Libraries TheyreComing Simply this week, I was viewing a scene of Downton Abbeyâ and one of the scenes was set in the library. Delightful calfskin bound volumes occupied the tremendous room from floor to roof and secured each divider. Master Grantham failed to acknowledge them by any stretch of the imagination, as he stood, cognac close by, trusting that his valet will bring his night coat. The visual picture of this mid twentieth century library struck me on a few levels; first, how books like the ones that embellish the Crawleys home were once implied for the tip top. The hirelings first floor may have entertained themselves every so often with a penny appalling however it is far-fetched that any of them read, or approached, considerably more. The second thing that I saw was the sheer quantities of tomes, and how pointless, truly, it is in the twenty-first century to need to dedicate so much physical space to the printed word. Dont misunderstand me. There is nothing I love more than the weight of a book. I love the manner in which they smell. I savor the experience of really turning pages. Until the time has come to move. I have the same number of books in my Kindle now as I do on my clasping racks. Also, they all fit in my littlest wallet. So I guess I comprehend that cutting edge libraries are confronting a similar predicament. The existence expected to house and control books is tremendous. In the no so distant past, bookless libraries were just a thought, yet now they are going on. This fall, San Antonio, Texas will open its first completely electronic loaning library. There will be fifty work stations and eReaders that supporters can look at and bring home. Despite the fact that the task cost $1.5 million dollars, its supporter, Judge Nelson Wolff, contends that it is savvy. The new establishment, named BiblioTech utilizes existing city offices, and, maybe more significantly, is accessible to a to a great extent underserved network whose inhabitants regularly don't have their very own electronic gadgets. Is this the future for most libraries? Presumably. Be that as it may, not for some time yet. To state there is as yet a huge measure of material to be digitized is putting it mildly. What's more, there are copyright issues with which to fight. Sarah Houghton, executive of a library in California, gripes that 99 percent of the materials that the overall population need to look at,  such as best-sellers,â simply arent accessible to libraries carefully. Another issue repressing the development of bookless libraries is the preparation of staff, on utilization of the gadgets, however how to disclose them to their supporters, a considerable lot of whom may have had practically zero involvement in advanced perusers. In addition, the cost of gaining these new gadgets is regularly restrictive for most open libraries. What's more, what happens when these gadgets gotten obsolete? Today, it appears that innovation improves at regular intervals, if not sooner. Better not furious Lord Grantham at this time. You may at present need to acquire that volume of Tocquevilles Democracy in America.

Beliefs of filipino women: Traditional feminine gender

Convictions of filipino ladies: Traditional ladylike sexual orientation A 2 (US ladies versus Filipino ladies) X 2 (little girls versus moms) ANOVA coordinated gathering structure with the OKelly Women Beliefs Scale (2010) scores as the needy variable was directed to contemplate unreasonable convictions about conventional female sex blueprint from a Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) point of view (Ellis, 1956) in an example of Filipino ladies living in the US. Results showed huge primary impact for culturally diverse contrasts among the two racial gatherings, however no noteworthy fundamental impact was found for generational contrasts among the gatherings. A Post-hoc Least Significant Difference (LSD) performed on the four subscale scores of the OWBS likewise indicated huge contrasts in Demand with Filipino ladies scoring higher than their US partners, and scores of the two gatherings in Awfulizing, Negative Self-talk/Rating, and Low Frustration Tolerance (LFT) were not fundamentally unique. Watchwords: Filipino ladies, nonsensical convictions, sex composition, Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, OKelly Women Beliefs Scale Silly Beliefs about Traditional Feminine Gender Schema of Filipino Women Living in the United States This investigation assesses the diverse and intergenerational contrasts among Filipino ladies and US ladies living in the United States as to their convictions about the conventional ladylike sex job utilizing the OKelly Women Beliefs Scale (2010). A few variables of cultural assimilation extraordinarily influence the worldwide movement, monetary globalization, and political clashes that emerge in the formation of multicultural social orders (Enrile Agbayani, 2007), that reviews in regards to this issue are fundamental in understanding it from a more profound perspective. There is an incredible amount of writing in regards to female themes composed inside the calculated plan of the Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy or REBT (Wolfe, 1985; Wolfe Naimark, 1991). The establishing professional of REBT, Albert Ellis, built up this type of psychotherapy to help his customers in the recreation of how they see their trouble by stating the significance of taking it on with an increasingly philosophical standpoint. At the point when Ellis changed Rational Emotive Therapy (RET) to its current name of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), he recognized the conceivable chances in utilizing the term objective as thoughts concerning it might differ across societies (Ellis, 1999). Ellis consistently underscored the significance of taking his customers social foundation into thought while investigating their perspective and disposition towards life. It has been viewed as that the improvement of the Womens Belief Scale match with the models depicted by Locksley and C olten (1979), who feature that the utilization of a term inside a survey includes self-assessments and assumes correlations of itself that were absent like in Bem Sex Role Inventory (BSRI; Bem, 1974) in the formative procedure of the things; this permits a huge impact of estimations on the portrayal of the ladylike sexual orientation that gives a particular perspective of what practices are proper for females. The perspective on womans legitimate spot being in the home satisfying their home life, parenthood and satisfying their spouses, confined from the open universe of men didn't generally command the Western culture (OKelly, 1980). It was not until the ascent of free enterprise when autonomous agents could bear to help their reliant spouses and kids kept inside the limits of a hidden home, that this perspective on womens jobs began to incredibly impact the cutting edge Western culture (OKelly, 1980). By the eighteenth century, these jobs irregularly spread to the less rich classes and in the long run turned into the Western perfect for ladies (OKelly, 1980). In the ongoing years, with the assistance of the women's activist development, sensational changes in the Western social jobs anticipated from ladies are constantly occurring. Women's activists demand that those standard perspectives on womens jobs enormously constrain and control them from accepting their places as full grown-ups in the general public (OKelly, 1980). Nonetheless, less created nations keep on having severe perspectives on the jobs of the ladies in their general public and they plan to keep up their social convictions in regards to this issue. There are not really any investigations done to analyze the impact and impacts of these cultural jobs put on ladies from less created nations, similar to the Philippines, in their reaction to cultural assimilation and mentality towards life. The OKelly Womens Belief Scale was created inside the plan of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy or REBT, mirroring the procedure of convictions about Demand, Awfulizing, Global Rating, Low Frustration Tolerance (LFT) and Negative Self Rating. To build up this scale, 2,562 surveys were sent to ladies that worked in incredible organizations. With the information acquired of 974 polls, the OKelly subscales were created: Demand, Awful, Low Frustration Tolerance (LFT) and Rating, which are nonsensical atomic ends or convictions recently referenced. Every one of these scales has inner consistency. The test-retest dependability and legitimacy have been built up by the consequences of an example that comprised of 285 ladies, wherein 37 additionally finished The OKelly Womens Belief Scale a month later. In the estimation of the nonsensical idea from a REBT point of view, past examinations (Lega Ellis, 2001; Kumar, Lega, Bladiwalla, 2007) demonstrate multifaceted and generational contrasts in the examples of USA, Latin America, Europe and India. Filipino Americans are one of the quickest developing minority bunches in the United States as they are the second biggest Asian American ethnic gathering, and the second biggest number of workers to the United States (Ong Loksze, 2003). Late investigations recommend that cultural assimilation, changes in mentality or qualities that outcome from the contact of one culture with another (Berry, 1997), may have something to do with perspectives towards ladies (Enrile Agbayani, 2007). As indicated by Berry (1997), there are four cultural assimilation techniques: partition, minimization, joining, and digestion. Detachment alludes to preferring ones unique culture and abstaining from associating with the host culture, while minimization is the point at which one doesn't effectively keep up either his own unique culture or the host culture (Choi Thomas, 2007). Then again, mix alludes to preferring ones own way of life while simultaneously connecting with the host culture, and digestion is t he point at which one forsakes his unique culture for the host culture (Choi Thomas, 2007). The global connection between United States and the Philippines has a rich and one of a kind history that has made the Filipinos very well recognizable to the American culture that even permitted them to handily embrace the English language, instructive organizations, majority rule conviction framework, and confidence in the American Dream (Enrile Agbayani, 2007). Most Filipino outsiders show up in the United States with a huge information about the nearby culture and the English language (Enrile Agbayani, 2007). Filipino ladies living in the US, for the most part as outsiders, attempt to adjust to their host countrys social qualities while endeavoring to save their own simultaneously. Like others from ruined countries, particularly the individuals who have burned through a large portion of their lives in their local nations, Filipinos are additionally very much aware of how troublesome it tends to be to live in a nation of constrained open doors like the Philippines. In any case, as other foreigner gatherings, they additionally acclaim the United States as a place where there is critical monetary chance yet at the same time decry it as a nation possessed by degenerate and individualistic individuals of faulty ethics (Espiritu, 2001). Guardians of original Filipino youngsters uphold exclusive standards particularly on their little girls. Espiritus interviews propose that there is a romanticized idea of womanhood dependent on customary Filipino qualities and convictions (Espiritu, 2001). This admired thought of womanhood is for a lady to think about her family (aggregate versus singular qualities), to increase great training (so as to help better the family), stay pure, devoted, and respectful (Agbayani-Siewert, 1994). More seasoned kids, young ladies specifically, are relied upon to think about their more youthful kin and perform family unit obligations even at an early age (Enrile Agbayani, 2007). Past investigations propose that while the more established female is given more obligations, benefits are made effectively open for the most part to guys in the family. Most Filipino ladies, who took an interest in past investigations, additionally announced that their folks treated them all the more carefully while gr owing up when contrasted with their siblings (Enrile Agbayani, 2007). As they develop more seasoned, Filipino ladies are required to show qualities of a Maria Clara, or the best possible, marriage-disapproved, Filipino Catholic lady with great ethics (West, 1992). This generalized portrayal of a perfect Filipino lady keeps on existing in right now. Filipino ladies were educated and urged to be freely compliant with the goal that it will give the idea that men are the ones in charge (Cimmarusti, 1996). Almirol (1982), an analyst who played out a subjective report on Filipino American ranch workers from Salinas, California, found that a higher worth was put on guys over females and that ladies were disheartened to show power out in the open. Researchers have indicated that the Maria Clara generalization isn't just utilized by certain Filipino women's activist patriot, yet additionally by original Filipino outsiders (Ignacio, 2000). Earlier analysts show that regardless of the high social desires implemented on Filipino youngsters by their folks, they seem to have handily absorbed into the American culture as the Filipino populace in the US has a high pace of school graduates, and the greater part of these alumni are workers from the Philippines (Enrile Agbayani, 2007). Alternate points of view recommend the presence of progress and

on realizations and learning

on realizations and learning Last semester was pretty rough, and I vowed to make this semester different. I tried to get into a fifth class and didnt (it was too oversubscribed), so instead Im taking four classes, of which only one is likely to be horribly difficult. Im hoping that the lowered courseload will help, although its a little hard to tell, because the first week of the semester is always calmer than the ones that follow. For now at least, Im chilling and this chill, combined with the delightful chill of my IAP (and further combined with reflective time at the gym while I work out) has got me thinking. Ive come to this realization, over the past six weeks or so. I thought I always knew it, but I clearly never did: taking care of yourself and putting aside time for yourself is not just a necessary evil. It is good, and fun, and right. I thought I believed this before. I didnt. My brain was secretly thinking something along the lines of oh, well, if you  need time to take care of yourself, then I guess you have to do it. And each person might need to set aside different amounts of time, and that doesnt make them better or worse as a person but of course, its better to be able to set aside less time, and focus on  doing  instead of  living. I felt like the best way to approach life was to fill it with as many things as you could without making yourself sad. Because filling up your time is what lets you learn new skills! and try new things! and have new experiences! And, you know, all that stuff is pretty great. But actually, theres so much that you can gain from free time different things, and equally valuable to those that you gain from full time. Each of us should not fill our time as much as we can, but as much as we want to; and it is not better to fill it more, or as much as possible, but it is better exactly and only to do what makes you happier with the knowledge that there are so many kinds of happiness, and it is nice to get to try them all. I like knowledge, and experiences, and learning new things, but none of these holds more meaning than happiness. And why maximize a proxy value for a quantity when you could maximize the quantity itself? To leave space in a schedule, to work out and think, to walk places more slowly than everyone else and stare at the sky this is its own good thing if what it creates for me is happiness. It does not need to be stolen from other activities; it has its own intrinsic right to be alive, to take up space in my life. I want it and love it for itself, not just because its what lets me keep living and doing everything else. I think this is what my parents have been trying to tell me for the past eight or so years. I think this is what some upperclassmen have been trying to tell me since CPW. I always nodded, agreed, it made sense to me. But I didnt realize that I didnt really believe it, because I made my life choices as if it were false. (As opposed to now that I know it for real, when I am relishing my free time, my slow moments, doing things unproductively and inefficiently) Thinking about the time it took me to reach this realization led me to a realization on realizations. When children learn their native language, they need, of course, to hear adults speaking to them. A child who is deprived of input wont be able to learn. And yet, a child who is spoken to twice as much as another child will make the same kind of mistakes at about the same age, and master the same parts of language at about the same age. The input is necessary, but its not sufficient. What they also need is time: if a two-year-old isnt ready to speak a certain way, you cant make them learn it. All you can do is help them keep living, until they turn three and a lightbulb goes off in their head. I never thought I was done growing, but I think I thought most of what was left was about acquiring knowledge changing physically. Instead, there were so many dark lightbulbs in the back corners of my brain, waiting to light up and make me realize that something is not as I thought it was. Like a child learning a language, other people are only part of the puzzle for me; the other part is time to think and discover on my own. And it turns out that this feeling doesnt scare me like it used to. Freshman fall, in a blog about realizing that I didnt know myself as well as I thought I did, I wrote I miss being able to walk through the house of myself in pure darkness and never miss a step. Now I mean, sure, knowing myself well was nice. But this is also pretty cool this idea, which perhaps should not come as the surprise that it does, that we are not fixed human beings once we graduate from high school; that there is so much left to sneak up on me, to change the way I think and who I am. Over the past year, Ive started to like eating new foods, trying new combinations of flavors, and doing things Ive never done before. And in the same vein, Im also so excited to try out these new mes who are coming. I havent met them yet. But I will. Post Tagged #if you are older than me please try not to roll your eyes #we must all come to each realization at the pace that is right for us

Introduction Of Artificial Intelligence Self Driving Cars

Introduction to Artificial Intelligence Self-Driving Cars Description A self-driving car is an autonomous vehicle capable of achieving the human transportation capabilities of a traditional car. The vehicle is capable of sensing its environment and navigating without human input. These robot cars mainly exist as prototypes and are only used for demonstrations. Although they are likely to become more widespread, in the future. Self-driving vehicles sense their surroundings using radar, GPS and computer vision. Advanced control systems interpret the information to identify navigation paths, obstacles and road signage. Some of these vehicles can update their maps, allowing the vehicle to keep track of their position when conditions change. Extensive automation for cars focuses on either introducing robotic cars or modifying modern car design to be semi-autonomous. These could be implemented sooner as they rely less on technology that is still at the forefront of research. Historical Development The first idea of self-driving cars dates back to 1939, when the vision was debuted by General Motors, at a sponsored exhibit at the World’s Fair in New York. The autonomous car was shown as part of a display called â€Å"Futurama†. Part of this display included automated highways and expressways, but the exhibit also had the idea of self-driving cars. Even though the designer Norman Bel Geddes had these ideas then, working prototypes would not be seen for another 40 years.

Erik Erikson s Theory Of Psychology - 1365 Words

Introduction Erik Erikson has made a contribution to the field of psychology with his developmental theory. He is a German psychoanalyst. Erikson said that humans develop throughout the life span. Erikson developed eight psychosocial theory stages that humans encounter throughout their life. According to the theory, successful completion of each stage results in a healthy personality and the acquisition of basic virtues. Basic virtues are characteristic strengths which the ego can use to resolve subsequent crises. Failure to successfully complete a stage can result in a reduced ability to complete further stages and therefore an unhealthier personality and sense of self. The first stage, Trust vs. Mistrust, occurs from birth to one year. Erikson defined trust as an essential trustfulness of others as well as a fundamental sense of one s own trustworthiness. He thought that an infant who gets fed when he or she is hungry and comforted when he needs comforting will develop trust. He al so said that some mistrust is necessary to learn to discriminate between honest and dishonest persons. If mistrust wins over trust in this stage, the child will be frustrated, withdrawn, suspicious, and will lack self-confidence. The second stage, Autonomy vs. Shame Doubt, occurs between ages two and three. During this period, it is important that the parents create a supportive atmosphere in which the child can develop a sense of self-control without a loss of self-esteem.

The Vietnam War Memorial Free Essays

The Vietnam War Memorial, like the war it memorializes, was initially steeped in controversy. It was called unemotional and ‘a black gash of shame’. Criticism was leveled at the artist for her being of Asian extraction. We will write a custom essay sample on The Vietnam War Memorial or any similar topic only for you Order Now Like the Vietnam War, Americans gradually began to see the other side of the coin and it is now one of America’s most revered art pieces. It is comprised of black granite panels set into ground so that the viewer literally walks into the piece. On the panel is carved the names of the 58,000 plus American war dead (Sands). It is a part of the landscape by design. Lin said, â€Å"I didn’t want to destroy a living park. You use the landscape. You don’t fight with it,† (greatbuildings.com).   A companion piece, a statue of American warriors, war weary and in battle dress was erected at the site. I think the memorial is a moving piece of art, fraught with symbolism that is more apparent when visiting it than it can ever be from photos or descriptions. It is the duty of any nation that sends its young men into combat to remember and honor those who gave the ultimate for their country. I think that while hostilities are ongoing and the deaths are mounting, however, the tribute should take a form different from a cold memorial. I think the man who sent them to the war zone should read us the names of each fallen warrior at the close of day and explain how that warrior died. If he refuses, then each day in the House of Representatives the names should be read, and those names then be carried to the White House. The purpose of a war memorial is not always the same for every war and for every cause. It can be a tribute to the fallen dead in a war that was waged for survival. It can be a piece of propaganda for a war that had no business being waged. It can be designed and erected as a balm to heal the scars of a bitter and divisive conflict. Vietnam divided our nation and nearly brought us into open rebellion with the government that refused to listen to the will of the people. The veterans of the Vietnam War seem to be flooded with memories when they confront the names of fallen comrades whose names are engraved in the polished black granite. Yusef Komunyakaa’s poem, Facing It, described the feeling he had of being back in the war, symbolically being inside the memorial itself. He could see the explosion that killed his friend by reading the man’s name on the wall. â€Å"I touch the name Andrew Johnson; I see the booby trap’s white flash,† (lines 16-17), he says in the poem. At Santa Monica Beach near Los Angeles every Sunday a local chapter of the Veterans for Peace erects a temporary memorial to the fallen dead of the Iraq War (Veterans For Peace). It is called Arlington West for the Arlington National Cemetery in the east.   It is similar to and different from the Vietnam War Memorial. It has a list of fallen Americans as a tribute to them but also it memorializes the dead Iraqis, which the Vietnam Wall does not do for the fallen Vietnamese. Volunteers erect rows of crosses and symbolic flag draped coffins. It is more performance art than a permanent fixture but still emotionally moving, particularly to the families of the dead. Visiting there is a way to express the grief and frustration the same as at the Vietnam Wall. It shows that there is not a single way to create a memorial any more than there a single way to create art. There are different ways to move people. The Vietnam Wall is a vital robust and moving tribute to a nasty war. It has helped to heal a divided nation and bring closure. The Arlington West project is for an ongoing war and can be seen as a protest of that war as much as a memorial to the dead. The idea of requiring the people who send men off to war to read the names of the dead seems to be fitting. They would be forced to see the toll they are taking at least in terms of numbers and perhaps put a face on the dead. For now they are simply statistics.
