ReBoot

There is no better man to describe Hannibal Lecter than the author himself, Thomas Harris'," …. What is he now? There is not a word for it yet. For lack of a better word we’ll call him a monster” (Harris 331). Since the 20th century, we have been presented with countless adaptations of Harris monster. In 1986, we were shown Manhunter with critics describing Bryan Cox's Hannibal as "laid back and happy to engage in banter"(Sims). Five years later, The Silence of the Lambs came out and Anthony…

Gossip Girl. I address the runtime for context, though it is not different now currently accessing the show on Netflix, because all of these compared shows are in the related or recommended suggestions along with Gossip Girl on Netflix and online. The reboot of 90210 which began airing the year after Gossip Girl started, has the most similarities to the show because of the idea of social class and comparing the “popular” kids, to the not-so-popular. There’s many fake friendships and self-serving…

The collapse of the American stock market in 1929 is considered by most historians to be the catalyst that set in motion the worst economic event in modern history, but it didn’t happen overnight. There were several problems in American culture through the “roaring twenties” that many chose to ignore; and it’s because of this negligence that the fun and free American way of life of the time met its terrible end. The numerous issues facing American agriculturists during this time, overproduction…

1. Goal The main purpose of this lab is to introduce us to the RLES vCloud system, begin setting up a network with a router VM and a main Redhat VM, and configure some baseline features for the continuation of our work in future labs. This included configuring DNS forwarding and NTP on the PFSense router VM, and configuring a wiki on the redhat VM alongside monitoring software such as Zabbix or Opsview. When configuring the router, all was fairly straightforward and without any major…

Writer, Bill McKibben, first warned the world of global warming twenty years ago with his book “The End of Nature.” His warnings went unheard and now he insists we listen and become more informed. McKibben urges for people to realize we’ve waited too long and now the many changes of the world are already underway and there’s not much we can do. Our once sustainable Earth is now melting, drying, burning, and acidifying. McKibben says the old Earth we lived on, no longer exists. The carbon rate in…

We all know comics are unrealistic and contain many hurtful stereotypes for women, it’s time we bring some of those problems for light. The comic book industry’s approach to women really has not changed over the years, from selling sex, to being female counterparts of the other male superheroes, companies seem to believe that kick-butt female characters are all we need, but there are still many stereotypes that need to be addressed. Take a simple yet powerful, comic book trope…

self-awareness of most people is diminishing progressively since individuals are often overwhelmed with works and other activities, reducing the time spent for themselves. We often fail to realize that time for ourselves is essential since it would reboot our brain, improve concentration, and increase productivity, leading to an improved mental health (Schafer, 2016). The way we can interact with ourselves can be achieved with music listening (Chen et al., 2016). Thus, the intended purpose of…

“Taking a break from social media for a week should be an easy task,” I thought to myself. Oh boy, was I wrong! When I sat down and thought about how much time a day I spend on social media, mindlessly scrolling through posts I don’t really care about, I was surprised. I didn’t think I spent that much time on social media. On a daily basis, I spend about 2-4 hours on Netflix, Facebook, Instagram, and other forms of social media collectively. A Digital Diet was just what I needed in order to cut…

The Westerns The Genre As a Whole I will be researching how old style westerns have influenced modern day superhero movies from their editing, writing, and their aesthetic appeal. I will be going through the history of westerns as well as discussing what makes a western a western, how they’ve changed through the years, and why they’re still relevant. I will then talk about superhero films and how they have started, their brief history, how they’ve changed, and how westerns have influenced them…

Matthew 5:3 (AMP) reminds me that I am most “spiritually prosperous” when I am broken and “poor in spirit”. Dr. John Coe’s lecture series opened my eyes to my fallenness and God used his words to reveal my belief in moralism; my own moral failure. Embracing my brokenness became a joy for me once I understood that nothing I could ever do would accomplish what needed done in my heart and life. Surrendering my soul, my will and my fleshly desires, I was broken and my flesh crucified; now I am…
