Hubble sequence

The first negative aspect to the world of GATTACA would be that those chosen to be one’s partner seemed to be solely based on the other person’s genetic sequence and their “ranking.” When Irene goes to sequence Jerome’s (Vincent’s) hair and gets the sequence back, the person working at the sequencing booth tells her that Jerome’s “rating” is a 9.3 and that he is “quite the catch.” By saying this, combined with the public sequencing booths, the world of GATTACA is one that is based on genes and makes it seems like that there would be no love at first sight, but rather love at the first sight of each other’s sequences. Also, when the public sequencing booth told Irene that Jerome (Vincent) his rating, how was Jerome’s sequence rated? What would be considered a 10? Superman? The idea of only choosing someone based off of their genes or their rating is just wrong. In GATTACA, it would seem to me that most people choose their spouse after looking at each other’s genetic sequences and rating and perhaps not even truly love the other one. Also, if one partner decided to go sequence the other and finds out that they might not have the rating or sequence that was hoped for, then the relationship between the two might be severed. Only those who did not care too much about one’s genes could be able to find their true love. It seems that the world of…

During the week of the audit, many order selectors were observed performing tasks above and beyond those stated in the company’s documented preferred methods and those considered and allocated in the engineered labor standards resulting in inaccurate and understated performances achieved against standard. For example, observed were labeling of cases after placement to the pallet and traveling out of sequence to obtain base items of multiple cases. The specified methods and engineered standards…

All of the learning patterns are required in my role at some point every day I work. At times I need to blend several of the patterns to accomplish 1 goal. Fielding questions and teaching new skills require me to intensify my Precision and use it with my natural, practical, teach style pattern that is Technical Reasoning. Solving problems is definitely something I intensify my Sequence with if it’s a customer issue. I also need to map out and list what has happened to gather enough detail…

Kevin Tod Haug, the client VFX Supervisor, contacted Cinesite Montreal initially in (do we know the month?) to talk about ‘out of this world’ environments and ‘epic’ set extensions for Mrs Fadil’s afterlife sequence which was going to be imminently filmed in Toronto and in Oklahoma. Very quickly, we also got involved in the look development of the storm, which is a character in itself, alongside other sequences. In total, we worked on 18 different sequences split over 5 episodes (1, 2, 3, 4 and…

Does land have a memory of its own? The film Children of Nature suggests that memory is strongly connected to the land on which the memory was created. Therefore, a walk on the beach combined with the sounds of waves crashing on the shore, and the feeling of wind blowing through your hair may illicit similar or random experiences that occurred years before. In this sense, experiences bleed into the land, whereby creating a pool of memories connected to a seemingly arbitrary symbol of its…

Learning a second language is a complex process that exceeds the acquisition of its structure and vocabulary. One of the major components of mastering a new language requires learners to become familiar and sensitive to the preference in language use by native speakers of certain sequences of words over others (Wray, 2000). It is the mastery of these word sequences that distinguishes novice from proficient L2 learners. Yet, there is still little agreement across studies on the number of words…

When analysing the placement of characters in the film we must acknowledge both the physical placement of the characters in a particular shot or sequence and the placement of a character in the plot or story of the film. While similar in title, the two concepts have drastically different interpretations and uses when analyzing elements of a film. The placement of a character in a shot is the character’s specific placement in front of the camera during a shot or sequence. This concept is analysed…

Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and the more well known Hubble Telescope. SDSS has devoted most of its two thousand nights of observing to measuring spectra, or light waves, “passing light from individual stars and galaxies through a fiber-optic spectrograph, which divides light into component wavelengths much like a prism separates light into the colors of the rainbow” (Blanton, Einstein). According to these images produced by an ultra-smart lens, astronomers are able to observe galaxies and…

The arm was distorted and had a series of rectangular shapes to form the arm, which bass considered to represent drug addiction. Preminger however disagreed with Bass over which animated sequence with the arm looked the best. Bass argued that “the sequence fell flat without animation” but Preminger disagreed. The official compromise was “staccato-like movements as the arm segments maneuvered through the visual progression”. After this compromise, the sequence went down as a classic in American…

compelling solution to the equations of General Relativity for the case of an expanding universe” (Soter & deGrasse Tyson 2000). 3. “[…] he served as an artillery officer [in World War I] and witnessed the first poison gas attack in history” (Soter & deGrasse Tyson 2000). 4. Soter and deGrasse Tyson failed to discuss that Hubble, quite often, mistakenly receives credit as “the Father of the Big Bang theory” (Wikipedia 2014). 5. Soter and deGrasse Tyson fail to provide sufficient personal…
