Analysis of face to intercultural interactions: Spike Lee´s Do the Right Thing
No full textTreball Final de Grau en Traducció i Interpretació. Codi: TI0983 Curs acadèmic: 2013-2014This assignment is focused on using a fragment of a movie, in this case Spike Lee´s Do
the Right Thing to show problems found in intercultural communication between two different cultures and how difficult it may be sometimes not only to find those differences but also to fix the problems that may bring when translating. Using the country comparison tool of the 6-D Model developed by Professor Geert Hofstede we search for an insight into cultures from different countries. We see how small things affect us and how they grow up like a snowball rolling down a hill, just getting bigger and bigger. How gestures, being facial or kinesic can be more important than words. How everything counts
Lee-Carter mortality forecasting: a multi-country comparison of variants and extensions
No full textWe compare the short- to medium-term accuracy of five variants or extensions of the Lee-Carter method for mortality forecasting. These include the original Lee-Carter, the Lee-Miller and Booth-Maindonald-Smith variants, and the more flexible Hyndman-Ullah and De Jong-Tickle extensions. These methods are compared by applying them to sex-specific populations of 10 developed countries using data for 1986-2000 for evaluation. All variants and extensions are more accurate than the original Lee-Carter method for forecasting log death rates, by up to 61%. However, accuracy in log death rates does not necessarily translate into accuracy in life expectancy. There are no significant differences among the five methods in forecast accuracy for life expectancy.functional data, Lee-Carter method, mortality forecasting, nonparametric smoothing, principal components, state space

A Tribute to William S. Geimer
No full textA Tribute to William S. Geimer Meredith Susan Palmer* * Associate Dean for Student Affairs and Admissions, Washington and Lee University School of Law, J.D., 1985, Washington and Lee University. Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me.1 Bill Geimer is not a man of material things. But somehow, in the material things that he chose to have around him - the mementos, the odd souvenirs, the offerings from students, clients, friends - I find the story of the man, the teacher, and the lawyer Bill Geimer is to me. In my mind's eye, I see Bill's office here at Washington and Lee as I first saw it, as a hesitant first-year law student approaching the sanctum sanctorum of a faculty member. There is a desktop name plate, regular Army issue, decorated with grenades or something equally militaristic and intimidating. But next to that is a picture of Dr. Martin Luther King, with his stirring words evoking hope for justice and freedom on earth. And next to that, a membership certificate for the Lawyer's Alliance for Nuclear Arms Control, and a drawing of Quijote, lance raised to a windmill. How could this be? While reconciling the seemingly irreconcilable is the everyday task of the law student, no trick of logic could make these disparate pieces fit; one simply had to get to know the man. That one could do so as a law student is itself part of what defines Bill Geimer. The student who came to know Bill heard a story of a kid from the rural south, off to a small state university to play basketball but who, like countless kids before him, spent a bit more time playing than studying. Come Graduation Day, with no game plan, he joined Uncle Sam's family. A grounding in tanks, guns, and tactics preceded duty with the military police, but something else happened during those years. Assigned to assist with an investigation, he finds an aptitude for the law, an appreciation of justice, and a burning sense of the unfairness of justice denied. The young man who returned from service to go on to a distinguished career as a law student at the University of North Carolina was a man with a game plan, and a mission. It was no surprise that Bill's mission as a lawyer was not in the office towers of Atlanta or the corporate boardrooms of Wall Street, but among the plain folks of Fayetteville, North Carolina, and later in the community of migrant farm labor working and living hard under the hot Carolina sun. I see another memento, this time in Bill's home. It's an odd piece of, well, let's call it folk art. Crudely carved, frankly ugly. Taste is a delicate thing, so one observes diplomatically that it is an "interesting" object. There's a story, of course, a story of a client for whom Bill had worked, putting together the paperwork to get a fledgling arts-and-crafts shop off the ground. This client, like many Bill served, claimed not to have the cash to pay. But, the client said, he could give Bill this valuable piece of work. Barter being a fundamentally more honest exchange and thus appealing to Bill, the transaction was concluded. Not until Bill brought his sculpture home did he discover the price tag stuck to the underside, for something substantially less than the agreed-upon fee. He kept the awkward thing, price tag intact, I think as a reminder of his own fallibility, of the ingenuity of the ordinary man, and of the need to forget neither. Another memento, in some ways the most important to this former student, is a large, faded, well-handled poster on the professor's office door. A young man in Carolina Blue goes up for a shot, stretching for the basket, with seconds left on the clock. Anyone who knows Bill Geimer knows that he is devoted to Carolina basketball. In fact, Bill may have spent so much time watching the Tar Heels play that he began to confuse teaching with coaching. As a former student of Bill's, I'm not sure that was a bad thing.
Henry S. Lee portrait
No full textA portrait photograph of Henry S. Lee.Henry S. Lee was the second president and the last part-time president of the International YMCA Training School, now known as Springfield College. He served from 1891 to 1893. Along with David Allen Reed, he originally founded the school in 1885 (originally called the School for Christian Workers). Lee served as treasurer of the Springfield Institute for Savings, and then as president from 1898 until his death. He was also a director for the New York, New Haven, and Hartford Railroad, in the Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, in the Fire and Marine Insurance Company, and in the Chicopee National Bank. Lee died of a stroke on March 29, 1902. The back of the photograph reads, “Henry S. Lee. Died. March 21, /02. As noble a man as any I expect to know. Beloved by rich and poor, high and low, black and white, by Christian and non-Christian just alike.
On the use of 2.5-Gb/s Mach-Zehnder modulators to generate 10-Gb/s optical duobinary signals
No full textWe demonstrate the generation of 10-Gb/s optical duobinary signals from 2.5-Gb/s Mach-Zehnder (MZ) modulators without using duobinary encoders. The absence of the duobinary encoder not only permits the monolithic integration of electrical components but also reduces the required bandwidth of MZ modulators as low as 3 GHz. However, it might induce pattern-length dependency to the signals. Our demonstration, performed with four 2.5-Gb/s MZ modulators obtained from two different vendors, shows that the receiver sensitivity of better than -33.8 dBm is achieved at a pseudorandom bit sequence length of 2(31) - 1 when dispersion of 1200 similar to 1700 ps/nm is applied to the signals. This is 1.6 dB poorer than using an 8.5-GHz bandwidth MZ modulator along with a 3.0-GHz Bessel filter. Therefore, this scheme can be used to implement cost-effective 10-Gb/s optical duobinary transmitters without significant performance degradation
