• Extreme Wide Shots (EWS): Act to establish the area.
• Wide Shots (WS): Show the entire person or area. They are great for establishing the scene and allow for good action of the characters. Sometimes this is known as the long shot.

Understanding Computer Networks

A computer network is a set of computers connected to each other, enabling them to share resources and exchange information. They can share printers, files, folders, and Internet connections.

Ethernet Classification

The two common types of Ethernet networks are 100Base-T and 1000Base-T.

The number indicates the transmission speed in Megabits per second: 100Mbps and 1000Mbps, respectively.

The letter 'T' indicates the type of cable used to transmit data. The cable consists of twisted pairs of copper wire with RJ45 connectors at each end. These cables are used to connect the network.

Types of Cables

• Twisted Pair UTP: 8 copper wires twisted together in 4 pairs with an RJ45 connector at the end.
• STP: A safer cable for transmitting

Explain what the Success Theory of self-interest is, as described by Derek Parfit.

A theory of self-interest is a general answer to the question ‘what would be in a person’s interest?’ or ‘what would be best for a person? ’Or what would make a person’s life go for him, as well as possible? The success theory of self-interest is part of the desire-fulfillment theories, which claim that what would make one’s life go best is whatever would best fulfill one’s desires. What makes one’s life’s go better is whatever better fulfills their desires. The success theory restricts the relevant desires to be desires about one’s own life. Only desires that involve me will be relevant in determining whether or not my life is going better... Continue reading "Theories of Self-Interest and Virtue Ethics in Aristotle's Philosophy" »

I’ve already touched upon the personification of love as a baby, but let’s explore exactly why she’s chosen this disguise. First of all, there is the classic association between love and the winged baby, Cupid, who goes around firing his arrows and causing mischief by making people fall in love. That is certainly part of Wroth’s choice. However, there are other important connotations relating to babies that are essential to consider.

Our very nature teaches us to nurture the vulnerable; thus, the baby represents something that we care for and want to nurture. However, although we want to play the parental role, we acknowledge that it is a pretty thankless task – cleaning up all sorts of unmentionable stenches and bodily disasters....

The first thing I would talk about is the almost repetition of the first and third stanzas. You could argue that Blake shows these two perceptions of love to demonstrate the fine line between love, being controlling and being used by another person.

I like this interpretation. If the clay says love ‘seeketh not to please itself’ and the pebble argues that love ‘seeketh only to please itself’, then they are directly opposed. Does Blake want us to choose? I think not, I think he is really trying to say that we need to avoid viewing love in these terms. Love should be selfish in the respect that we should look to our personal happiness, but at the same time we cannot be selfish and not respect the freedom of those we love.

To further this... Continue reading "Analysis of Love in William Blake's Poem" »
