I feel I should point out that "Secret Window" is based on Stephen King's story "Secret Window, Secret Garden" that was published in his collection "Four Past Midnight" in 1990. So even though the movie was made in the Fight Club Era, the story certainly precedes that.
Some of the medications he lists as taking for these photos (namely the anti-depressants/SSRIs/NRIs/etc) take several weeks to have noticeable effect. As such, I have to assume that those portraits are the artist's perception of the drug's effect. It doesn't make the portraits any less interesting or impressive, but it does degrade the value of the experiment itself.
Plagiarism is claiming credit for work that you did not do. It doesn't matter if the other is fine with not receiving credit; it isn't your work. If it isn't your work then what's the point of going to college?
I worked hard for the degree I have and am continuing to do so for my next degree. For anyone who argues that this is not cheating, stop and think: would you honestly want someone treating you for a medical condition; working your case; advising you on investments; or even teaching your children who didn't actually EARN their degree? The reason for papers, no matter how dumb and pointless, is to learn from them. If you don't do them, you don't learn; if you don't learn, you can't teach.
Agreed. It say you're going to feature a "different" puzzle every week, but then you announce another sudoku like it's some wonderful and new thing - when it certainly isn't.
I'm so glad I wasn't the only one bothered by that, @gdw3. If this article was reprinted exactly from the book with that glaring of a grammatical error throughout....
I get excited every time I see the puzzle posted, but then am disappointed when I read that it is yet again a sudoku puzzle. Your description claims you'll be posting a *different* logic puzzle each week, but so far that I've seen (and I may have missed some) they've all essentially been the same.
With sudokus all over the internet and newspapers, I had hoped that neatorama would look for something a little more interesting.
I would have to agree with the others. This video could certainly be amusing in the right circles. I understand that neatorama is trying to expand its options, but this is not neatorama material.
I am of the belief that given that the woman had paid for and was seated in her seat, standby or not, it was HER seat by the time the LATE adolescent arrived. His late arrival says to me that he'd forfeited his seat by that time. Furthermore, if the airline policy is that an overweight passenger must purchase two seats then this adolescent with only one ticket, had no right to take the purchased seat from this woman.
I would say it's obviously an issue that merits some examination by the airline, but ultimately should end in giving the woman some free tickets or such as compensation. The news is simply trying to sensationalize it by juxtaposing the size of the woman and the adolescent. The woman's small size is simply a coincidence and therefore completely irrelevant in this issue.
Any of these theories could be correct. Yes, the cat could be protecting the child, though if that were the case it would likely put itself between the adult and child - which it does not always do. More likely is that it did step on some glass and react accordingly. The point as also been made that this might not be the first time the cat's done it, though, I think that given the reaction of the mother/nanny, it likely was (to this person, at least).
Furthermore, to all of those who say you love your cats but would punish them for behavior like this - that's despicable. Chasing a cat down and beating it for doing this is not right. A cat is a domesticated creature that ultimately has little power over a human who can easily throw a towel over it, pick it up, and put it in a crate or another room. Yes, cats can bite and scratch, but usually do so because they are frightened. You as the human being can easily accidentally kill an animal in your anger, whereas the most they can do to you are some unpleasant bites or scratches. You should be ashamed for even saying such things.

Ridiculous.
