Authors love to create these creatures that seem to come from the darkest nightmares and send chills down the readers, or viewers, spines.

One of the most iconic and popular horror creature in the American film industry is Freddy Krueger. Freddy made his debut in 1984 when he ...

Introduction Back in the first century AD, Stoic philosopher Epictetus observed that people become disturbed “not so much by events as by the views which they take of them” (Scott and Dryden, 2003). With this observation, Epictetus seemed to point out that, in viewing all the objects found in the visual world, situations are viewed from some distinctive angles than from others, and humans have the freedom to choose their orientation. This personal orientation, on the other hand, is influenced by a person’s beliefs and how they see themselves in relation to the world. How people view certain ...

Introduction

Most of the people go the cinema really often. They drive theirs cars to the desired movie theatres, maybe stand in the line to get tickets, head to the bar, and then finally find themselves in comfortable seats, waiting to be immersed by another story. Yet, I bet few of them know of numerous detailed and complex patterns which lie behind that immersion – and who exactly executes them. Essentially, these patterns sprout from the director’s vision of the film, production designer’s creative contribution to it, and are supported by the work of the art director. These elements ...

For decades psychologists have debated whether nature or nurture is more important to human development. The argument revolves around the importance of the contribution between inherited versus environmental factors. John Stiles expressed in Brain Development and the Nature Versus Nurture Debate that philosophers like Plato were known as nativists (14). Nativists assume that the majority of behaviors are inherited and a direct result of genetic influence. Plato postulated that certain characteristics were inherited and would emerge regardless of an individual’s environment, or nurturing. Others, such as the well-known John Locke, believed in tabula rasa, which means that the mind ...

The Bakken formation in the Williston Basin is a closed, low permeability petroleum system that generated approximately 200 to 400barells of oil (Janet K. Pitman, Leigh C. Price, and Julie A. LeFever, 2001). The middle member of the bakken is an oil reservoir with high thermal maturity and has been extensively cored, offers the opportunity to examine the major control of reservoir quality (Janet K. Pitman, Leigh C. Price, and Julie A. LeFever, 2001). The multiple fractures occurs on the macroscopic and microscopic level in the bakken formation and most are abundant in the lower and middle members, the majority ...

Natural fractures orientation and density in the Bakken formation, local and regional stresses

Both Induced and natural fracturing occur within the middle Bakken from where most Bakken wells are drilled. The level of thermal maturity, source rock thickness, proximity to source facies and level of hydrocarbon generation can be pointed out as the reason behind the distribution and frequency of horizontal, open fractures in the middle member of the Bakken. The Bakken formation comprises three distinct members, upper and lower Bakken, and middle Bakken member, which is the primary reservoir rock, although the other members also have reservoir potential. Horizontal fracture development in the middle member increases towards the boundaries of ...

According to Freud’s theory, the society mainly hinges the proper functioning and success of the ideal social structures, humanity, and civilization on repression, which is the attempt to lockout feelings and impulses that one considers abnormal or negative from the conscious mind . Social structures and civilization will not function without repression. The actions taken in order to keep the feelings in check and perpetuate humanity constitute basic repression acts. They differ from surplus repression in that basic repression is a universal prerequisite for the “proper” functioning of humanity. They are the necessary and inevitable actions that one must take ...

Visit the summer stock theatre and ask any of the young actors there if they have an actor or actress that he or she looks up to, and most of them will have one or more examples. Aspiring actors need someone as role model when becoming discouraged about career setbacks, low pay, long hours, losing out on a role, and other difficult experiences. Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Robert Downey Jr. and even Lindsay Lohan all look like the pinnacle of success to many young actors. As an aspiring actor myself, I do not find any of those performers particularly realistic ...
