  • 4.5.1 Los Abducidos: El Duro Retorno En Expediente X Se Duda De Si Las
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Diposit Digital de Documents de la UAB 4.5.1 Los abducidos: El duro retorno En Expediente X se duda de si las abducciones son obra de humanos o de extraterrestres por lo menos hasta el momento en que Mulder es abducido al final de la Temporada 7. La duda hace que el encuentro con otras personas que dicen haber sido abducidas siempre tenga relevancia para Mulder, Scully o ambos, como se puede ver con claridad en el caso de Cassandra Spender. Hasta que él mismo es abducido se da la paradójica situación de que quien cree en la posibilidad de la abducción es él mientras que Scully, abducida en la Temporada 2, siempre duda de quién la secuestró, convenciéndose de que los extraterrestres son responsables sólo cuando su compañero desaparece (y no necesariamente en referencia a su propio rapto). En cualquier caso poco importa en el fondo si el abducido ha sido víctima de sus congéneres humanos o de alienígenas porque en todos los casos él o ella cree –con la singular excepción de Scully– que sus raptores no son de este mundo. Como Leslie Jones nos recuerda, las historias de abducción de la vida real que han inspirado este aspecto de Expediente X “expresan una nueva creencia, tal vez un nuevo temor: a través de la experimentación sin emociones realizada por los alienígenas usando cuerpos humanos adquiridos por la fuerza, se demuestra que el hombre pertenece a la naturaleza, mientras que los extraterrestres habitan una especie de supercultura.” (Jones 94).

  • Completing the Results of the 2013 Boston Marathon
    Completing the Results of the 2013 Boston Marathon Dorit Hammerling1, Matthew Cefalu2, Jessi Cisewski3, Francesca Dominici2, Giovanni Parmigiani2,4, Charles Paulson5, Richard L. Smith1,6* 1 Statistical and Applied Mathematical Sciences Institute, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, United States of America, 2 Department of Biostatistics, Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, Massachusetts, United States of America, 3 Department of Statistics, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States of America, 4 Dana Farber Cancer Institute, Boston, Massachusetts, United States of America, 5 Puffinware LLC, State College, Pennsylvania, United States of America, 6 Department of Statistics and Operations Research, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, North Carolina, United States of America Abstract The 2013 Boston marathon was disrupted by two bombs placed near the finish line. The bombs resulted in three deaths and several hundred injuries. Of lesser concern, in the immediate aftermath, was the fact that nearly 6,000 runners failed to finish the race. We were approached by the marathon’s organizers, the Boston Athletic Association (BAA), and asked to recommend a procedure for projecting finish times for the runners who could not complete the race. With assistance from the BAA, we created a dataset consisting of all the runners in the 2013 race who reached the halfway point but failed to finish, as well as all runners from the 2010 and 2011 Boston marathons. The data consist of split times from each of the 5 km sections of the course, as well as the final 2.2 km (from 40 km to the finish). The statistical objective is to predict the missing split times for the runners who failed to finish in 2013.

This summer presented me with one of those unique moments in life when I knew I had to strike while the iron was hot. Everything came together running-wise, financially, & in terms of my summer break from teaching. I was then off to Africa. My flights all went well. Emirates is an incredible airline and I ate very well onboard (i.e. grilled tofu with vegetables, fruit salads, Indian rice with beans, etc.) There were literally hundreds of movies and tv shows to watch and everyone had his/her own individual tv screen and advanced remote. 'Stars' lit up the cabin ceiling at night. The flight was 11 hours 41 minutes from JFK to Dubai, United Arab Emirates. I landed in the Middle East for the first time ever and was immediately struck by the opulence of Dubai. Giant sparkling columns lined the high ceilinged airport. Triple story cascading Kyle with Daniel Rono by the pool at th" waterfalls fell near giant elevators. All local Muslim women I saw High Altitude Training Centr" had their heads covered and men wore flowing white robes with long white head scarves (sorry, I don't know the proper terms for those). The world's only 7 star hotel, Al Burj Dubai, sat nearby--on its own private island. The airport's Burger King carried the 'Bean Patty--Veg' sandwich. Of course, I left the airport and explored a bit outside but then had to report back to Emirates fairly quickly for my connecting flight.

Defending Bank of America Chicago Marathon champion Sammy Wanjiru of Kenya, 2010 Virgin London Marathon champion Tsegaye Kebede of Ethiopia, and 2010 Boston Marathon champion Robert Kiprono Cheruiyot of Kenya will put their winning records on the line in Chicago on Sunday, October 10. The participation of these runners in the 2010 Bank of America Chicago Marathon will be pivotal in deciding the winner of the 2009-2010 World Marathon Majors (WMM) series. Wanjiru and Kebede are tied atop the current series standings with 50 points apiece. A victory by one or the other in Chicago would likely determine the champion of the series, which concludes with the ING New York City Marathon on November 7. “Bringing together these three great champions in the prime of their careers will make the 2010 Bank of America Chicago Marathon one of the most exciting races in the event’s history,” said Executive Race Director Carey Pinkowski.

    Breaking Bad and the intersection of critical theory at race, disability, and gender Item Type Honor's Project Authors McDonough, Matthew Rights Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International Download date 01/10/2021 02:24:17 Item License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ Link to Item http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12648/1578 State University of New York at New Paltz Breaking Bad and the Intersection of Critical Theory at Race, Disability, and Gender Matthew McDonough Independent Study Honors 495-06 Professor Sarah Wyman 8 December 2020 Thesis Abstract: The television series Breaking Bad (created by Vince Gilligan) is considered by audience and critics alike as one of the greatest television series ever made. It tells the story of the rise and fall of Walter White (Bryan Cranston), a mild-mannered chemistry teacher turned meth kingpin. He turns to a life of crime after having been diagnosed with terminal cancer, and he sees meth manufacturing as the most lucrative way to provide for his family. It has been nearly a decade since the series finale, yet it endures through sequel films, spin-offs, and online streaming. My thesis investigates the series’ staying power, and I would argue that lies in its thematic content. Breaking Bad is not just a straightforward story of one man’s descent into a life of crime, but it is also a mediation on dominant, repressive power structures. The series offers a look at these structures through the lens of race, gender, and disability through the actions of characters and their interactions with one another.
