Ethics, morality, and basic human nature. All things that make the human race, human. It’s easy to say what exactly is right and wrong. But it’s harder to act upon those set rules. They’re more like guidelines. Guidelines that humans acknowledge and either choose to follow, or ignore. Each person on this planet has their own idea of these notions of thinking. When somebody writes a character in a story, it’s likely that that character will reflect their own ideals and morals. But, what if they write a character that’s ethically, unethical. What ideals can a reader assume the writer has? Well, the reader can’t assume anything. Because that character may be written to just fit that one role. In the X-Men universe, specifically the films X-men: First class and X-Men: Days of Future Past, Hank McCoy or beast as he is known as later on, brings up questions about his own stance as far as ethics go to the audience. While many would say that Hank “Beast” McCoy’s actions in creating the serum to cure his and Mystique’s mutations was unethical, in a way ended up becoming slightly more ethical because his improved serum, while it greatly prohibited Prof. Xavier’s telepathy, made it possible for him to walk again. But, Prof. Xavier took it to far and became basically a drug addict. Ultimately, the action of creating a serum that practically eradicates one’s own genetic makeup, while created with the best intentions in mind, ends up being unethical simply because of the unforeseen…

The first trailer for “Logan,” with Johnny Cash’s “Hurt” serving as the soundtrack, catapulted “Logan” up my list of most anticipated movies of the year. I was already looking forward to it, of course, but that trailer moved up it to my fourth most anticipated movie of the year. That’s a high bar to live up to, and “Logan” cleared it with plenty of room. Set in the near future, this movie, the last X-Men film for both Hugh Jackman as the titular mutant and Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier,…

Visiting the Worcester Art Museum, I was drawn in by the piece Static Variations: Blue x2. The art museum was having a series on her, and had several of her works up, but this one stood out most of all. Static Variations: Blue x2 (fig. 1) is a highly political piece about the Civil Rights Movement. In order to interpret it one must understand the life of the artist, Terri Priest, and the Civil Rights Movement itself. Terri Priest was born in 1928, in Worcester Massachusetts. She spent her…

cost of the objective function, because the cost is determined solely by the number of bags of fertilizer purchased (i.e., the values of x1 and x2). Thus, a coefficient of 0 is assigned to each surplus variable in the objective function. By assigning a “cost” of $0 to each surplus variable, we are not prohibiting it from being in the final optimal solution. It would be quite realistic to have a final solution that showed some surplus nitrogen or phosphate. Likewise, assigning a cost of $0 to an…

The slope of a straight line joining the points (x2, y2) and (x3, y3) is m2= (y_3- y_2)/(x_3- x_2 ). Since n1 and n2 are perpendicular straight lines they form a right angle at R. {where is C? - sar} Therefore, PQR forms a right triangle. Thus, we can apply the Pythagoras theorem that PQ2 = PR2 + RQ2. Applying the distance formula we get, (x2 - x1)2 + (y2 – y1)2 = (x3 – x1)2 + (y3 – y1)2 + (x3 – x2)2+(y3 – y2)2. Add and subtract x3 and y3 to the LHS. Thus, the previous step becomes,…

The Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 Revised (CSAI-2R), is one of the most frequently used instruments in the evaluation of situational anxiety in sports competition. Objectives: The objective of this study was to validate the Tunisian version based on the French version of the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 Revised (CSAI-2R), including the direction and the frequency scales. Method: 418 athletes ranging in age from 14 to 34 years in different individual and team competitions,…

n-pairs of observations are given and there are representing a linear regression. We know that, coefficient of correlation r = cov ( X , Y ) / (sigmaX sigmaY ) where cov ( X , Y ) = ( 1/n) sum XiYi - barX barY and X2 = (1/n) sum ( Xi - barX…

It was revealed that out all the eight variables, the five which were sex, age, educational qualification, family size and marital status respectively (X2 = 0.006, P > 0.05, X2 = 0.58 , P.> 0.05, X2 = 0.143, P .> 0.05, X2 = 0.528, P > 0.05. and X2 = 0.674, P > 0.05 ) were not significantly related to the use of crop residue urea feeding technology. However, the herd size, income level, sources of information were significantly related to the use of crop residue urea feeding…

Now Riya understood the application of LP model and more confident to solve the issue. “Thanks Sriman for your timely help” acknowledged Riya. 1. What are the elements considered by Sriman to suggest LP formulation for this advertisement problem? 2. Do you think that the linear programming would be really helpful to Riya in decision making? How? 2.2.1 General Mathematical model of Linear Programming Problem A linear programming problem that has ‘m’ decision variables and ‘k’ constraints is…

Julia Food Booth QUESTION 1: Let: The cheese pizza slices be X1 The hotdogs be X2 The sandwiches be X3 Profit = selling price-cost price 1. Profit on slices of pizza 50 - 0.75 = $ 0.75 2. Profit on hot dog 50 -0.45 = $ 1.05 3. Profit on sandwich 2. 25 - 0.90 = $ 1.35 0.75X1 + 1.05X2 + 1.35X3 = z He has a budget of $1500 Each slice of pizza $6/8 = $ 0.75 Hotdog = $ 0.45 Sandwich = $ 0.90 So: 0.75X1 + 0.45X2 + 0.90X3 $1500 The space that is available in the oven: 1 foot =…
