This will be 1 short answer and 2 essays

Short Answer 1.
1. Who wrote the following lines and what is the author discussing? What does the last sentence mean?: “Someone in the group, sensing my state of mind, apologized for the evil night, but I recall thinking even if this were one of those warmly scented and passionate evenings for which Paris is celebrated I would respond like the zombie I had become. The weather of depression is unmodulated, its light a brownout.”

Essay 1.
One may see strong ties between Oatess famous story, Where are you going, where are you from? and Gavin de Beckers  The Gift of Fear. In the short story, does Connie fear Arnold Friend?  If so, how does she express it? Give examples. The suggestion from Gladwells Blink is that one should often go with ones gut feeling. How does that relate to Oatess story?  Respond to these questions in essay form and give examples from Oates, Becker, and Gladwell to support your assertions. 

Essay 2.
Language has its limitations. One could argue that the articulation of the experience of Happiness is much neglected in the language of fictional narratives. One exception is Willa Cathers Neighbor Rosicky.”  In your essay, address the notion of happiness in this story. Show examples of the experience of happiness and explain your examples and their contexts. Then connect these ideas to the summaries provided in 50 Classics of the works of Burns and of Gilbert on the nature of happiness.

Religion and Ecology

In total, the word count should be 1500-2,000 words, either all creatively made on a powerpoint presentation. OR a brief presentation, with a research paper to accompany it and explain in depth.
You may choose to do creative projects (art, music, video, screenplay…) instead of papers, but they should involve a similar amount of work and be accompanied by a shorter paper explaining the research and thinking that went into creating them.

Topic: Science and Religion (with respect to ecology)

FAILURE. Is there a word in the English language that conjures up more fear in hearts and minds of students?  As it turns out, failure is required in order to achieve significant success (Neck, et. al., p 113).  Part of the problem with ‘failure’ is how we view it…as a defining moment in our lives or as an event to be ashamed of instead of using it as a process to learn from.  This week we will explore the “power of failure”.

To begin, view the two videos posted for this week (Famous Failures and The Power of Failure).  Read Chapter 5.

Part I.  Select one of the famous people mentioned in the video Famous Failures and answer the following questions about this person.  You will need to seek out a reference to support your information.

1. What message did the ‘world’ tell them about their abilities?

2. How did they respond to their failure?

3. Before this assignment, did you even know about this failure?

4. How might the world be different if this person had given up and not made their contributions to society?

Part II. After watching the video The Power of Failure, identify a failure in your life and use it to answer the following questions.

1. Identify the failure.

2. How did you respond?

3. Using A New View of Failure: Some Primary Themes (Neck, et. al., pp 114-115), select three of the themes and discuss how you might have used them to redefine the failure and turn it into a learning experience.

Limit your response to 750-1000 words, double spaced, use Times New Roman, font size 12, and submit your assignment below.  Link your reactions to the text citing the referenced page or use other references to support your points. Of course, papers should be organized, thorough, with proper sentence structure and grammar.

Throughout the semester we have examined some of the challenges and shortcomings of the typical response to crime in the United States. Restorative justice is viewed as an alternative approach with the potential to address the harms of crime through a process of restoration and reintegration, involving victims, those who committed offenses and community members. What do you think about restorative justice?

Affective Computing Input

November 9, 2020 Leave a comment APA (edition "APA 6"), Computer Science

Researchers are experimenting with human emotions as a type of input. A development called affective computing uses input devices such as video cameras and skin sensors with software similar to speech recognition programs to allow a computer to read a users emotions.

Your task: Explain what an affective computing input system would look like for your favorite app or program. Tell which emotion, based on video or skin sensor or sound input, would create which action, for example, when my app senses that I am sleepy, based on my eyes looking heavier, start a counter to turn off the app after 15 minutes. Or when my app senses that I am nervous, based on my hands getting sweaty, launch a calming music app to play in the background.

Cover at least five (5) emotions. Some emotions you might consider include (but are not limited to) happiness, anger, sadness, frustration, fear, surprise, sleepiness, embarrassment, disappointment, pride, nervousness, curiosity, impatience, joy, and hunger.
