“Beam Me Up, Scotty!” - Star Trek Technology in Healthcare Imagine being on the U.S.S. Starship Enterprise and a medical emergency occurs. How do you contact medical personnel in sick bay? Anyone who has watched the “Star Trek: The Next Generation” television series will tell you communication between crewmembers is a simple matter of using the communicator attached to your uniform.

Henrietta Leavitt and Stephen Hawking are similar in a variety of different ways. Both Hawking and Leavitt have contributed a great deal to science. Stephen Hawking had discovered that radiation can escape black holes, and Leavitt had discovered the period-luminosity relationship as well as being fundamental in defining the size of the universe. According to the article on Henrietta Leavitt, “Before Leavitt established the period-luminosity relationship, astronomers could determine cosmic…

Sandy Schofield. Her work is published in over ten languages and over ten countries around the world.

Exploration of the Space “Space, the final frontier” is a popular phrase from the television show Star Trek. However, even though this show is fictional, the idea of space exploration is truly real. It may be interpreted in different ways, such as, a need for human exploration or the next destination for human expansion. For centuries, the stars have mystified people all around the world, and it was not until recently that exploration began. Within the last one hundred years, man not only…

of listening to the whole release, and wasn't into skipping around the record, only listening to the hits. Occasionally a song I labeled a stinker would be included in the mix, but I try not to focus on that too much, and just hang in there till the next track. This is where CD's were cool. One could program the player to not play a song(s) one disliked. No more having to walk over to the turntable, and moving the needle, if a song didn't interest you. I enjoyed the advancement in technology,…

Recently we watched in class The Measure of Man from the tv series Star Trek: The next Generation. From this one episode a lot of questions have arisen about the legality of cyborgs in the future. In the case of this episode it is over the android Data and whether or not he has human rights or is just a piece of machinery. At first it seems as if the writer wants to show the Data does not exhbit all the qualties needed to have to make himself human. This is evident by the poker scene at the…

Scream Factory is once again dipping into the Empire Pictures / Charles Band line of films, this time with a double feature of The Dungeonmaster and Eliminators. Two films that looked like they would be a drag to get through, but ended up being a hoot and a half instead. I know, I was as suprirsed as you are right now. Anyway, let's hop in our mobile unit (you need to read on to see what the heck I'm talking about) and get on with this review of both movies... PRODUCT INFORMATION PLOT SUMMARY…

route of persuasion; the only information that the viewer has to think about is if this new item with cheese baked into the tortilla is something they want to try. Celebrities such as George Takei (Star Trek) laughing in a throne-like chair with a Quesalupa in hand, and James Harden (NBA player) relaxing next to a pool with friends and Quesalupas, appear throughout the entire commercial; this appeals to multiple audiences at once and uses the familiarity and attractiveness of the celebrities to…

this project became a reality (“Arthur” Newsmakers 2). Many inventions just like this came from Clarke’s novels or movies he had made. He seemed to predict technology before it even happened. It is also claimed Clarke had inspired the Creator of Star Trek to make the series (“Arthur” Newsmakers 1). Arthur grew a reputation for creating accurate and interesting scientific articles and still enjoyed writing of the fictional side in novels of which he wrote over a hundred (Abbott 1). 2001: A…

* I wrote this essay on the topic of leadership because this is one area I am focused on in my personal and professional growth. Management duties are changing as I move forward in my career, and leadership skills will be an integral part of my development. I also thought this was a fun topic, one I have thought about a lot in the past but never necessarily communicated and I am happy to turn my scattered thoughts over the years into a somewhat composed opinion on the wisdom of one of my…
