Randomness

Experience has a structure. A person’s thoughts and memories have a pattern, or structure, to them. If the structure is changed, one’s own experience will automatically change. NLP approach is that anything one can do is learnable. Hence, performance can be modelled and transferred. NLP can be applied in a vast amount of areas such as personal development, sales, coaching, leadership, health, and sports, just to name a few. In this report, we will examine two concepts of NLP, Presuppositions…

In the 2004 American League Championship Series, the Boston Red Sox faced off against their most hated rivals, the New York Yankees. The Red Sox were already in the midst of an 86-year World Series drought known as “The Curse of the Bambino.” 2004 was the closest Boston had come to winning a World Series title since the infamous Bill Buckner error in 1986. Red Sox fans had believed all year long that this was THE year. However, after being down 3 games to none in the series, the Red Sox faced…

In Mark Haddon’s book, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, Christopher, the main character, is a 15 year old boy who has autism. Dealing with this condition by itself is very difficult, but there are more events that happen over the course of this book that show the evolution of Christopher as he grows from someone who relies on his dad to do almost everything for him to a person who is able to go to London, find his mom, and become more in touch with the concept of emotions. When…

Clever TITLE here The Octavia Art Gallery currently exhibits two artists: Regina Scully and Iva Gueorguieva. Regina Scully’s works consisted of acrylics of an abstract nature. The use of various vibrant colours in her works, as well as their abstract and subjective essence, made them fascinating to behold. Her work reminded me of Kandinsky’s. I could have spent close to an hour fully examining and exploring her many works in the Gallery. Conversely, I would and did spend minimal time observing…

3.7. Equilibrium isotherms Langmuir isotherm proposed by Langmuir, (1918) with some limitations Dąbrowski, (2001) expressed as: (4) Where qm (mg g–1) is the maximum amount of the metal ion per unit weight of adsorbent, ‘qe’ is equilibrium adsorption capacity (mg g–1), ‘Ce’ is the equilibrium concentration of the adsorbate (mg L–1), and b is a constant which reveals the affinity of binding sites (L mg-1). From the plots between (Ce/qe ) and Ce the slope (1/qm ) and the intercept…

place on earth. In order to be a scientist, one has to cultivate between predictability (mechanistic philosophy) and the earth being alive (Gaia-hypothesis). Without predictability, one would not have any knowledge on anything; if the world was pure randomness, there would be no meaning to anything and nothing would matter. The Gaia-hypothesis enables us, humans, to care for the world. If one is able to perceive the world as a living thing, and not as a machine, then you can care for it. Levi…

Nyarubuye – their bodies bent in “uninterpretable” forms (Gourevitch 449). One would be horrified by the sight and most would probably cringe and look away. But Phillip Gourevitch called this scene “beautiful” (Gourevitch 449), marveling at the “randomness of the fallen forms”, noting the “strange tranquility of their rude exposure” (Gourevitch 449). He did not flinch like many of us would after seeing this image at first sight. Instead, he looked closely and carefully and clicked photographs.…

What time is it? Time to reconnoitre the psychedelic darkness and yet the sunny disposition of one of the world’s most popular animated children’s series ‘Adventure Time’ - (Cartoon Network, Pendleton Ward, 2008) and what makes this unorthodox animation lure and appeal to both the young and the mature intellects – uncovering its mass of kaleidoscopic pedagogic episodes that illuminate the uncomfortable themes of reality. Death, cannibalism, depression, an abundance of horror glazed over by the…

A common misconception within motor learning is that teachers simply need to find the best learners in order to succeed. Often, society blames the condition of a team on the learners when it is not always their fault. Teachers may be on a search for an ‘all-around athlete’ to minimize the faults and eliminate a team’s shortcomings because it was once to have been said that an ‘all-around athlete’ is able to do anything that you may ask of them. Perfection in the sports and exercise science world…

“honest-drunk” friend who mysteriously loses the ability to filter their devastatingly honest opinions at the bottom of the fourth bottle. The most obvious argument to be made for drunk poetry over Flarf is the relatability of Bailey versus the incoherent randomness of Flarf. We can all relate to a beyond drunk friend bouncing from saying absolutely ridiculous things, to describing the epiphany that they will almost certainly forget by morning, and then back to laughing at themselves and…
