What do you think when you hear the word hacking and hackers? Despite what people may think, hacking isn’t always a problem. In the two articles I have read, the difference between good hackers and bad hackers is explained. “Hacking and Hackers” (Article 1) and “Good Hackers, Bad Hackers. What’s the Difference?:The Difference between Destruction and Protection” (Article 2) differentiate between length, the sources, and the examples each article provides, yet are similar in that they to the same…

way of destructive, illegal destruction of server files and data. Anonymous’ social roots come by means of its origin, 4chan/b/. From the beginning through to today, 4chan/b/ has been the shared pool of memes, shared jokes, respect for opinions, no matter who they were from, a sense of equality which comes from a sense of anonymity. These social roots hold true and stand at the core of what it means to be an Anon. It’s as simple as just saying you are a member of Anonymous makes you a member of…

What’s the attraction of surgical interns turn surgical residents running around a hospital in the middle of downtown Seattle? Ask the 8.96 million people a week that turn the channel to ABC every Thursday night at 7/8c. Grey’s Anatomy, a creation of Shonda Rhimes, is that very attraction sometimes addiction of many people throughout the country. With thirteen seasons under its wing, they keep the audience and fandom coming back every single week and even in the offseason, with sources like…

Throughout the story we see a correlation between the imagery that is used to describe the summer house and the narrators mental state. The very first thing we are introduced to is the house and how beautiful it is, yet she describes it to have an intangible quality that is off putting to the narrator. We then learn of her condition, diagnosed by her husband as “temporary nervous depression”, and get our first glimpse of her oppressive relationship leaving you with the feeling that there is…

conversely with high school and middle school aged children. Another limitation we faced was the ability to control for the face-to-face conversation. Subjects were given the listed topics to guide discussion but it is difficult to control for subject matter and keeping the confederates character or aura the same throughout each discussion. There certainly could have been some self-reporting bias involved as well with each questionnaire. Finally, the subjects own thoughts on social media…

The soil erodibility factor (K), a measure of the susceptibility of soil to erosion under standard conditions, is a function of the percentage of silt and coarse sand, the soil structure, the permeability of the soil, and the percentage of organic matter. Wischmeier et al. (1971) defined the soil erodibility factor mathematically and Foster et al. (1996) converted the equation into the following SI unit equation: The soil erodibility factor (K) is determined for each soil sample based on…

The crucial element that needs to be improved upon with crew safety lies within the area of bacteria of celestial bodies, but from space itself. Mankind has never been in contact with these bacteria that originate from other celestial bodies, and the consequences of encountering these forms of bacteria are unknown. The safest and most logical concept is to improve upon all the shielding from space, to create as little contact with the forms of bacteria as possible (Krishen 5). Another area of…

The universe today is huge. Scientists and Astronomers are finding new galaxies, planets asteroids, and more. But today, that's not what we are going to talk about. We’re going to talk about galaxies. Have you ever wondered what a galaxy really is? In the early 1900s, astronomers . Astronomers argued about spiral shaped, gas, dust were getting closer to discovering galaxiessome star vast cloud found in the night sky. In 1919, Edwin Hubble, an astronomer found the answers. Hubble used his…

Hello there. I will be talking about Olbers’ Paradox. In the year 1826, the German astronomer Heinrich Olbers’ proposed a controversial question about what makes the night sky dark if the universe contains an infinite number of bright stars (Newton 1). This question fascinates me because every celestial object that can be observed with our eyes, should have an important reason and role to play. The paradox about the night sky was also argued by Kepler as stated in his “Conversations with the…

Dark matter is matter that cannot be directly seen because it does not interact with light. This mysterious matter makes up the majority of mass in a galaxy. Although we cannot see dark matter we know that it is out there because we can see it effecting the motion of the stars in a galaxy and gravitational lensing. The first piece of evidence for dark matter is in the way we have observed galaxies moving. You would likely expect their behavior to replicate that of the Sun and the planets, with…
