The necessity for the tracking devices in every system that relates to assets continues to increase. Tracking makes it easy to locate the position of an item, especially if one misplaces the item.

Most devices perform the task better than others do, and that makes it necessary to have a given type of tracking device. The current study will entail the analysis ...

The United States had two constitutions to regulate and establish the rights and state orders. Articles of Confederation came into force in 1781, when Maryland ratified it and it was the first Constitution of the United States (Fritz C. G., 2008, p.131). The Constitution came to replace the Articles of Confederation when it was ratified by New Hampshire in 1788. These two documents have much in common. However, there are quite significant differences between them. By comparing them it is possible to see what the drafters considered important in 1781, and that they changed their minds in 1788.

Memory is the capacity to recall information one has experienced or learned. Many people struggle with remembering events which they have experienced or previously had information on. Students are particularly aware of this fact because they are constantly tested on what they can remember from previous class work.

However, fitter adults who undertake physical activity have larger medial and hippocampal temporal lobes (der Borght, Havekes, Bos, Eggen, & Zee, 2007). According to Erickson et ...

The Red Violin chronicles the long and exciting journey of the last violin made by a famous Italian instrument maker. The idea of the "best" violin hand-crafted by a master hundreds of years ago immediately made me think of Antonio Stradivari. A simple online search revealed that the film was indeed based on a Stradivarius violin called the Red Mendelssohn, which features a red stripe (as opposed to the blood varnish of the Red Violin) on its top right side (Fletcher, n.p.). What amazed me is that, both in real life and in the movie, people (often musicians) have the utmost desire to ...

Everybody should have a pet. It is not just my opinion, but many reports emphasise the benefits of owning a pet. The owner could be a child, or an elderly person, it actually doesn’t matter. There is evidence that pet owners with indeed different profiles could benefit from pets in both physical and psychological terms (Raina 323-9). In simple words, pets are just going to enrich your life, and the life of the entire family. Many times pets become more than just „animals“, they are true family members, and I must say that in the majority of time the happiest members. ...

Expressionism in Film

Robert Weine’s The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1919) encapsulates expressionism in film so much so that expressionist cinema was dubbed as Caligarisme. The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari ventures into the psyche of Francis, the protagonist. Francis’ flashbacks are featured throughout the film. Nevertheless, the film ends with a twist that reveals Francis’ flashbacks were a product of his imagination. Francis, is in fact, in a mental institution and the characters in his flashbacks were other patients in the asylum including his doctor, Dr. Caligari. Expressionism is prominent in the way that Francis’ flashbacks were featured in the film, which played a role ...

For André Bazin, the famous film critic and theorist from France, cinemas were a realist medium. This is why majority of film theorists would perhaps argue that that if he got a look at the computer-animated film WALL·E (2008) by Disney/Pixar, he would turn over in his grave. His theories revolved around the notion that there is always a mummy complex underlying the origin of any form of art, including cinema. Bazin’s notion suggests that art struggles to immortalize the mortal, to preserve the physical existence on screen. According to Bazin, the medium that eliminates most of the distance between ...

Fritz Haber, born in 1868, was a world-renowned German chemist whose multifaceted works in the field of chemistry earned him a Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1918.

The entire food industry is arguably dependent on his ingenious method, as most of the food is produced using fertilizers and other elemental components produced using his premier method. Perhaps the most unsettling role he played as one of the world’s most notable genius chemists was in ...

The American Dream has proven to be a highly elusive goal for many people.
