Time loop

looked like a small disturbance, something that he could easily take care of. One or two, too easy for him. This one was different. This one stood taller than a lamp post, and went faster than a car. That’s when he knew that he really had to run this time. So he did. And that’s where he was now. He moved through the darkness with the speed of light, or dark, you could…

Time often seems to be subjectively perceived by people depending upon the particular situation or circumstance. During a certain period of time, one individual may feel that time is moving at a fast rate, while another individual may feel that time is moving at a slow rate. However, since time is generally considered as an objective construct, and is measured to be moving at a consistent rate, the idea that time can be perceived differently by different individuals appears to be quite…

forced, even though participants were advised to give both tasks equal priority is somewhat contradictory. Not to mention giving priority to personal tasks, such as messaging, is not indicative of most real life situations. In fact, giving priority to anything of a personal nature in an office setting is frequently discouraged (Katidioti & Taatgen, 2014). In 2013, Nijboer, Taatgen, Brands, Borst, & van Rijn, conducted a similar experiment to that of Borst et al. in 2010. However, they…

The odd element of place is that place exists beyond time. A place we find ourselves in possesses the ability to represent our past, our present, and our future in a seemingly effortless fashion. A place does not require a time machine or futuristic technology to transport us to another time, but can do so in the blink of an eye. The smallest, most unassuming details allow us to relive a moment, in a sense, through the sounds of a particular place. Place is a non-physical space rooted in memory…

In that mass of people, surrounding you, you don’t feel alone, even though you don’t know any of them personally. They all hold the same values, they are all there for the same reason; to protest. Memory is a skill all humans possess. Skills like these are put to use through norms, memorials and how they affect society, and values and beliefs. It can also be used to remember the past, in terms of events that have affected or even changed society, for better or worse, and what resulted from each…

Presentation and Explanation of Concept to be Investigated One of the beginning cornerstones in this devising theatre challenge was the concept of fractured narratives, referring to the idea that a story can be told through non complete chunks or scenes which, when strung together, convey a story. Fractured narratives can be used in several ways: for example, scenes where multiple conversations are being held at once may use fractured narratives in jumping between conversations, without…

Once in awhile, there is a name that just embeds itself in my brain and I cannot seem to obliterate it. Interestingly enough, it just so happens that Preston Vanderslice is one of those names. Thankfully, he is more than just a memorable name as he is a noteworthy actor as well. I first noticed him in Love By Chance, and it seems as though Hallmark, amongst other things, is slowly beginning to learn and take advantage of his potential as an artist. Recently, I had the opportunity to ask him a…

before he announced to the band’s management 'OK Fuck it, I’m leaving'. This followed a series of disagreements with front-man, Bryan Ferry. Born on 15th May 1948, Eno is considered by many as one of the most important musical influences in modern times. Recognising his broad musical background and a sense of why he’s considered to have universal appeal, Tamm (1995: 1) cites that Eno drew freely on 'the resources of many types of music and ideas' such as 'rhythm and blues and rock’n’roll,…

enforce the shared values of the company in both the short-term and long-term events. Planning for the short-term and opening a new store in China, may be slightly difficult since it is the first time the company deals with such an action. That is why every step needs to be well calculated. It is the first time when the executive needs to come up with a plan involving the inventory of the new store, how it will be maintained, and how supply of products is made. Laws and regulations of China when…

update technology to meet these standards. An improvement in technology will increase efficiency and effectiveness throughout the plant and a plan to implement these changes should be done over the span of 3 to 5 years. This time frame to update technology allows enough time for the updates to be made effectively and the new machines to be produced. The administrative offices are shabby, disorganized, and run inefficiently. Improving technology here will increase efficiency and effectiveness as…
