 * }
 * }

Find
Use 3 methods to find $$I_n$$

1) Taylor series extention of $$f_n$$

2) Comp. Trap. Rule

3) Comp. Simpson Rule

n=2, 4, 8,. . . until error of order $$10^{-6}$$

Solution
1) Taylor series extention of $$f_n$$

because $$f_n$$ is like below,

$$\displaystyle f_n(x)= \sum_{j=1}^n \frac{x^{j-1}}{j!}$$

$$\displaystyle I_n= \int\limits_{0}^{1}f_n(x)\, dx = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \sum_{j=1}^n \frac{x^{j-1}}{j!}\, dx = \sum_{j=1}^n \frac{1}{j j!}$$

The erroer$$\displaystyle (E_n) $$ is

$$\displaystyle E_n= I-I_n = \int\limits_{0}^{1}f(x)-f_n(x)\, dx = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{(x-0)^{n}}{(n+1)!} \frac{e^x-1}{x}\, dx \underbrace{=}_{IMVT} \max \left | \frac{e^\xi-1}{\xi} \right |\int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{x^{n}}{(n+1)!} dx, \xi \in [0,1] \leqslant \frac{e-1}{(n+1)(n+1)!}$$

$$\displaystyle E_8 \leqslant 5.327\times10^{-6}$$

So, $$\displaystyle I_8 = \sum_{j=1}^7 \frac{1}{j j!} = 1.3179018$$

2) Comp. Trap. Rule

From the lecture note equation(2) p7-1

$$I_n = h\big[\dfrac{1}{2}f(x_o)+f(x_1)+f(x_2)+. . . +f(x_{n-1})+\dfrac{1}{2}f(x_n)\big]$$

 Hi , I am Percy. Nice to meet you. I love the beach, swimming, fishing, and I am currently doing some research at Wikiversity on oceanography. I am also learning to play piano. What do you like? Can I be your mascot?

Welcome to Wikiversity
Hi,

It is a delight to see you on Wikiversity. I read your Wikipedia page, and was thrilled to see someone with your credentials joining this project. Nice work on Wikipedia, too. I also edit Wikipedia, where I've met lots of interesting people from all over the world. Wikiversity is built on a very interesting premise--with more liberal research and content policies than almost any of the other Wikimedia wikis, it's basically MIT Open Courseware and a research hosting space rolled into one. It's intended to be a free online wiki-university and already has a number of unique resources such as History of Ireland Through Song.

Do you have any thoughts about what you want to contribute here, and what you want to get out of the site? I'm very curious. I was happy to see that you were a co-author of "A Gene Wiki for Community Annotation of Gene Function." My understanding is that this wiki is mostly intended for professional scientists, which is a bit different from wikiversity's purpose, but it's quite an ambitious and exciting project.

As for me, I am a grad student in New York and I study computational biology. I would like to develop research resources on Wikiversity that lend themselves to participation by non-academics, such as high school students and high school teachers. I'm a while off from that right now, but still thinking about how it could be done. I'd like to fix my own Userpage to make it more interactive--I wasn't quite sure how it would turn out when I created it. There is at least one "citizen science" Wikiversity project already--the Bloom Clock Project--but it depended on a large number of contributors in order to yield useful data and never quite got those people. In my opinion, a better-publicized project that would be able to start out with only a few people might be more successful. --AFriedman (talk) 05:04, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

-- Register for the free account on secondlife.com, experiment with the on-line game and answer the following questions:

1.	What are MMOGs and how do they differer from regular video games?

Answer: MMOGs are Massively Multiplayer Online Games. They are video games which is play online with other players on the Internet. They work on computer devices and other game consoles such as Play Station 3 and Xbox 360. Additionally, mobile phone devices can also play MMOGs for some of the available games. The difference from regular video games is MMOGs allow players to cooperate and compete with each other on the Internet, and sometimes it leads players to interact with players around the world.

2.	Would there be stresses in living in a virtual world?

Answer: When players are competing with each other, they provide pressures and stresses to each other as well. There are many effects of the players, and they are two main categories, mental stresses and physical stresses. First, mental stresses, if one player does not achieve the required level, then the player will soon be left out from the group and friends. Second, physical stresses, players spend most of the time in front of computers or game consoles at least for more than 12 hours a day. It creates physical problems when the body does not have time to rest.

3.	Look at e-bay and see what is being sold from secondlife and other on-line game forum. Is the economy from these games real?

Answer: Outfits for Secondlife game and characters and items are being sell on other forums. In most of the MMOGs, there is virtual currency where the player can earn and accumulate money. The usages of virtual currency are differentiated from game to game. The virtual economies which are created in MMOGs often combine real and virtual worlds. The result is often seen as an unwanted interaction between the real and virtual economies by the players and the provider of the virtual world.

hi,,, I'm gave :) nice to meet you all ^^

Homework Assignment4 Answers 1) MMOGS is Massive Maltiple players online games. It differs from other games. It makes players feel real when they are playing. They can play with real people and end the game with different endings. 2) Players can have real stresses because they face real unpredictable situations, most of them are real probleams. 3) The economy is real because in e bay sellers sell the items in the game for real money. For example, they sell outfits and money that use in the game.

1.What are MMOGs and how do they differer from regular video games? Ans MMGOs is a massively multiplayer online game (also called MMOG) is a video game which is capable of supporting hundreds or thousands of players simultaneously. By necessity, they are played on the Internet, and feature at least one persistent world. They are, however, not necessarily games played on personal computers.

2.Would there be stresses in living in a virtual world? Ans. No, there would have no stresses at all. People in second life will be all relaxed and free. They can do everything they wish and enjoy various fancy societies through the imagination. They can go anywhere any places they like with the good looking and charming themselves. This is so wonderful!

3.Look at e-bay and see what is being sold from secondlife and other on-line game forum. Is the economy from these games real? Ans. underline text There is Second Life Land 4096 Sq Met, 937 prim, Linden Dollars being sold from e-bay. And also, there are Platinum Collection 2nd Edition from the game Half-Life being sold from e-bay. This kind of trading can make the real money on the Internet world. Game lovers always come and exchange their products as for the money. These are for the move in the game that people play it for real.--Kingkarnchana 08:42, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

1. What are MMOGs and how do they differer from regular video games?

= MMOGs is the kind of game that is played on the internet. In the game, people, the players, can communicate, can play, or can spend time together through their characters. It also can be played by using another console as well, not only using PC, such as, PSP, Nintendo DS. AND, it is different from normal video game as the normal game is offline, so it can be played single player or multi-player through LAN.

2. Would there be stresses in living in a virtual world?

= It could be, depends on the people who play it. For example, people just login and chat or just play it would not be stressful, but for some people who play it to get things to buy or sell, they might get stress as they try so hard to get the items, etc.

3. Look at e-bay and see what is being sold from secondlife and other on-line game forum. Is the economy from these games real?

HW4
1.What are MMOGs and how do they differer from regular video games?
 * The main difference is about the number of the players. Massively multiplayer online game is a video game which is capable of supporting hundreds or thousands of players simultaneously.They play on the internet. On the other hand, regular video game can play locally only with 1 to 4 people and no need to use the internet, but sometimes regular video game.

2. Would there be stresses in living in a virtual world?
 * There would have no serious stresses in virtual world for people who don't play the game in virtual world seriuosly because people have nothing to lose in the virtual world, and the items in the virtual world have no value in the real world. However, some people who play the game seriously could have more stress than other players because they may trade items from virtual world could make them have value in the real world.

3. Look at e-bay and see what is being sold from secondlife and other on-line game forum. Is the economy from these games real?
 * They trade money in the game by using money in the real world. Moreover, they sell clothing items in secondlife. In other online game, they trade some rare items in the game. The economy from online games is real as we can see trading in e-bay and many other game board.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called AliciaC. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name AliciaC~enwikiversity that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:27, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

1) The different is the number of player, but many online games such as Ragnarok, Halo, The Sim, etc. have created before this game and more than thousand people could join in the game. It is different from play station, xbox, wii and nintendo that it requiring internet for playing.

2) It is depend how you view it on stress. You do not have to be serious about playing games. If you really not into the game you will not be stress at all. But if you are too much into the game like wanting good item or to be rich in the game, then people start to get serious about it.

3) I have seen many online game that trade real money for the currency inside the game. So, this is not new thing for me. Money in the game can be sold only in certain time, because some people just hack into others account and stole the money. The economic for the game can be real, but only in a very short period of time. Once people found new game, the money inside the game is priceless.

HOMEWORK 4

1.MMOGs (massively multiplayer online game) are video games which support many people playing at the same time. These MMOGs are different from regular video game because the MMOGs have to be played using the Internet. Examples of MMOGs are Ragnarok, Pangya and Audition

2.I think it depends on individuals. Some people might take things too seriously and some might not really care. I do not think there is a definite answer.

3. What is being sold on ebay? Is the economic real?

Secondlife: money in the game and outfits are being sold for real cash.

I dont think there are enough trades to call it real economic. --Teeteetee 15:44, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Fluid mechanics and turbulence in the wind-turbine array boundary layer

Charles Meneveau

Department of Mechanical Engineering and Center for Environmental and Applied Fluid Mechanics Johns Hopkins University

Abstract

When wind turbines are deployed in large arrays, their ability to extract kinetic energy from the flow decreases due to complex interactions among them and the atmospheric boundary layer. In order to improve our understanding of the vertical transport of momentum and kinetic energy across a boundary layer flow with wind turbines, Large Eddy Simulations and wind-tunnel experimental studies are undertaken. A suite of LES, in which wind turbines are modeled using the classical `drag disk' concept, are performed for various wind turbine arrangements, turbine loading factors, and surface roughness values. In the wind tunnel studies, the boundary layer flow includes a 3 by 3 array of lightly loaded model wind turbines. The results of both the simulations and experiments are used to shed light on the vertical turbulent transport of momentum and kinetic energy across the boundary layer. The results are also used to develop improved models for effective roughness length scales. This work is a collaboration with M. Calaf, J. Meyers, R. Cal, J. Lebron, H.S. Kang, and L. Castillo, and is supported by the National Science Foundation.

Biography

Charles Meneveau is the Louis M. Sardella Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Johns Hopkins University. He also has a joint appointment in the Geography and Environmental Engineering Department and serves as the director of the Center of Environmental and Applied Fluid Mechanics at Johns Hopkins. He received his B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María in Valparaíso, Chile, in 1985 and M.S, M.Phil. and Ph.D. degrees from Yale University in 1987, 1988 and 1989, respectively. During 1989/90 he was a postdoctoral fellow at the Stanford University/NASA Ames' Center for Turbulence Research.

Professor Meneveau has been on the Johns Hopkins faculty since 1990. His area of research is focused on understanding and modeling hydrodynamic turbulence, and complexity in fluid mechanics in general. He combines experimental, computational and theoretical tools for his research. Special emphasis is placed on the multiscale aspects of turbulence, using appropriate tools such as subgrid-scale modeling, downscaling techniques, fractal geometry, wavelet analysis, and applications to Large Eddy Simulation. The insights that have emerged from Professor Meneveau’s work have led to new numerical models for Computational Fluid Dynamics and applications in engineering and environmental flows. With his students and co-workers, he has authored over 110 peer-reviewed articles. In 2005 the ISI has recognized the article “Scale Invariance and Turbulence Models for LES" (2000, with J. Katz) as a "Highly Cited Article", placing it in the top 1% within its field.

Professor Meneveau is a foreign corresponding member of the Chilean Academy of Sciences, and a Fellow of the American Academy of Mechanics, the U.S. American Physical Society and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. He has received the 2004 UCAR Outstanding Publication award (with students and other colleagues at JHU and NCAR), the Johns Hopkins University Alumni Association's Excellence in Teaching Award (2003), and the APS' François N. Frenkiel Award for Fluid Mechanics (2001). He is now the Joint Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Turbulence, an Associate Editor for the Journal of Fluid Mechanics and is a member of the Editorial Committee of the Annual Reviews of Fluid Mechanics. Between 2001 and 2004 he was an Associate Editor for Physics of Fluids.

"HOW DOES IT RAIN? The influence of turbulent structures in clouds", by Michael Reeks, School of Mechanical & Systems Engineering, University of Newcastle, UK. Abstract When warm air rises it expands adiabatically, cooling until it becomes supersaturated with water vapor. The water vapor then nucleates by inhomogeneous nucleation and the droplets so formed grow in size by condensation. The process continues until the droplets are large enough to precipitate by gravitational settling. Unfortunately the timescales for precipitation by this process alone are much too long (~103 greater than what is observed). Furthermore the size distribution of the droplets is very broad contrary to simple models for condensation growth. So how does it rain? It is believed that a major enhancement of the growth of droplets and the very broad range of size distribution is due to the way droplets interact with both the large and small scales of the turbulence in a cloud. Furthermore, contrary to traditionally held views, droplets do not mix in a turbulent flow but segregate out into regions of high strain rate in the flow. My lecture is thus divided into 2 parts. In the first part I will describe how the small and large scales of the turbulence in a cloud influence the condensation rate and how that leads to a broad size distribution of droplet size consistent with what is observed. And in the second part, I will describe how the droplet segregation depends upon the persistence and morphology of the small scales of the turbulence and in turn how the segregation process leads to enhancement of the collision processes and finally to the reductions in  times scales for precipitation.

It is stated in his seminar that DNS is very expensive and can only be applicable to low Reynolds number flows, whereas particle flow in clouds has a wide range of Reynolds number. LES, which is less expensive than DNS, is therefore more suitable for particle-laden flow in clouds. Reeks introduced into the simulation a random excitation in terms of Fourier expansion (that looks like a series of plane waves), with coefficients concocted to preserve incompressibility. Question: Could one consider the carier flow in a cloud to be incompressible? Not clear, need to clarify.

Discussed in the seminar were some issues related to whether it was appropriate to use the two-way coupling the way Reeks did, or was it more equivalent to a one-way coupling ?? Need to clarify.

Censored but none-the-less extremely valuable

The WP, and with the wv, has had a history of fascist approaches to information; information that can be shown to deviate from the "rules" is eliminated, irrespective of truth. Use of this strategy is often to fulfill bias.

For many in the wikimedia empire, information elimination in the sense of Beck's cult protection is an activity unto itself, even though the perception of benefits for such activity is a misconception.

Missing from the WP is an essaythat can only be described as fascism that was law for the first decade of the Wikipedia's life: You have no rights on the Wikipedia.

What Wikiversity is not
Wikiversity is a space for the creation and use of free learning materials and activities. This page outlines some of the things it does not do.

 * A degree-granting institution: Wikiversity does not confer academically accredited degrees, diplomas, certificates, etc.

 * A place to confer titles: Wikiversity participants are all considered equals. Wikiversity discourages participants from using or making up their own titles. Starting or leading a learning project doesn't make you any more a "professor" than having finished participation in a learning project makes you a "scholar" or a "doctor". Titles shouldn't be used to suggest or imply importance, or that you are somehow more deserving of respect.

 * A duplication of other Wikimedia projects. While Wikiversity complements other Wikimedia projects, it will not simply duplicate their content. So, if you want to read about a topic, you may be better off visiting, say, Wikipedia or Wikibooks, but if you want to participate in learning about or researching a topic, you can do so at Wikiversity. Learning materials will be created and used on Wikiversity, but materials on other projects may also be used as learning or research materials themselves or even places to consolidate this learning or research, i.e. writing an article, manual, etc. based on what you've learned or contributed. There may be some overlapping, but each project will maintain its own focus.

 * A post-secondary institution. Wikiversity will not confine itself to "higher" or "third" level materials, but rather develop materials for all age groups. It is a university in the sense of a multilingual community of teachers, learners, and researchers ("universitas magistrorum et scholarium") dedicated to lifelong learning.

 * An advertising platform. Wikiversity makes a distinction between:
 * a) creating or linking to useful learning resources for learning about websites, products or services, and
 * b) using Wikiversity to advertise websites, products or services.
 * Please respect the need to provide educational and research material in unbiased ways that promote learning and research. Self-promotion, which includes the promotion of websites, products or services, may be deleted as unwelcome advertisements.

 * An advocacy platform. Wikiversity makes a distinction between:
 * a) creating or linking to useful learning resources for learning about different causes or advocacy groups, and
 * b) using Wikiversity to promote causes or advocacy.
 * Please respect the need to promote learning and research above any personal agenda or causes you might feel strongly about. Self-advocacy or promotion of a cause that does not promote learning and research may be deleted as being noneducational or unrelated to research.

 * A static project. Wikiversity continues to grow and evolve rapidly. Wikiversity policies, guidelines, practices, and services will be continually developed to meet the needs of the Wikiversity community.

 * Wikiversity is not a place for bias
 * Contributors must avoid saying or implying that one group of people, other organisms, or even objects, as being better than another. An primary example of bias is singling out groups or persons, such as to say "everyone is doing the right thing except you."  Another important form of bias that is seemingly unlikely is an overly-positive approach that implies social or cultural superiority (Beck, Prisoners of Hate).

 * Do not use unsupportable opinion as fact
 * All information is valid, but specific information, especially in the social sciences, has to be expanded within the scope of its context. Information can evolve into theoretical stages becoming forms of "natural law," such as evolution, giving it status within the "single phenomena" criteria of Science (as well as religion), but the criteria for the level of support for this kind of information is exceedingly high and out of the scope of opinion or perception.
 * Likewise anecdotes, such personal experiences, need to be viewed within their context in such a way as to support learning. As an example, one group of people, the blue people, may be in conflict with another, the green people.  A blue person who encounters angry green people and is abused by them will very likely be angry with green people.  This is important information within its context, as the fear or anger of the blue person are normal responses to an abnormal situation (Rogers).  But the anger of the blue person, or even the green people, does not create a valid reason to believe that green people are bad; it simply re-enforces well-understood concepts of cultural struggle.

 * Do not use derogatory language
 * While the use of derogatory langauge is not necessarily biased, as unbiased people often use negative language that may seem biased, it may lead to conflict, and hence bias, and primarily for this reason needs to be avoided.

 * Criticism has to be valid
 * Critical analysis is increasingly being replaced by more perceptive research strategies, yet it remains a tool to bring well-supported information into areas suffering from misconception: an important goal of education. As with all information, well or even moderately supported criticism is valid in that it helps re-enforce the building blocks of knowledge by attempting to locate it's weak points as areas for improvement.  The criteria for the validity of criticism is in the genuineness of the critic; the motivation has to come from a desire to improve knowledge, and hence make it educational.

 * Use common language
 * In information democracy all peoples have to be included: all languages and dialects have to be represented. Because Wikiversity functions through a colloquium, language has to be tuned for all types and levels of understanding, especially the language understandings of the under-classes, who through bias have been consistently disenfranchised throughout history: the most glaring example of bias.

 * Be supportive
 * The work here is research, learning, and teaching, and is meant to be beneficial. The Wikiversity goal is to build and share information in ways that earn the respect of the world, and especially the Wikimedia Foundation.  Supportive acts, as small as they may see--even far below the concept of collaboration, go a long way to encourage contributions.  Criticism has to be in the context of support.

 * Be constructive
 * Focus study with a sense of purpose so that your accomplishments have wide application. The criteria for knowledge construction is that the information being developed and shared benefits all peoples and the world from the perspective of a single phenomena of Science.

"Homework 4"

1.What are MMOGs and how do they differer from regular video games?

MMOGs means a massively multiplayer online game and they are differ from regular video games including players numbers in a single game world, the big numbers of players can interact each other at the same time, MMOGs is called sharded universe(other games is called single universe), and usually costs players monthly or bimonthly to access.

2.Would there be stresses in living in a virtual world?

It was streeful, because it is online game and supposes to interact other players, but actually it was not active much. And also it was difficult to control...it bothered me.

'''3.Look at e-bay and see what is being sold from secondlife and other on-line game forum. Is the economy from these games real?'''

I saw selling items from secondlife : lots of guidebooks, mugs,sticker, land and from other on-line game : virtual gold and associated services, it is basically people plays for money

I say the ecomony from these games real, because massive numbers of people involve these games.

Homework 4

1. What are MMOGs and how do they differer from regular video games? Ans. A massively multiplayer online game (also called MMOG) is a video game which is capable of supporting hundreds or thousands of players simultaneously. By necessity, they are played on the Internet, and feature at least one persistent world. They are, however, not necessarily games played on personal computers. Most of the newer game consoles, including the PSP, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Nintendo DSi and Wii can access the Internet and may therefore run MMO games. 2.Would there be stresses in living in a virtual world? Ans. At first people might think that a virtual world would be good, but actually they don't realize that their virtual world is not real. They forget about their real world and depend on the virtual world. Virtual world games will cause them addiction and make them stress when they look at themselves in real life. 3. Look at e-bay and see what is being sold from secondlife and other on-line game forum. Is the economy from these games real? Ans. The economy for these games are real. There are many people that are into these games and want to be the best at it. For example trading real money with money in the game. People that do this have their own little world where they control themselves in the game and pretend it is real.

1.What are MMOGs and how do they differer from regular video games?

AnS:MMOGs or Massively multiplayer online role-playing game is a genre of computer role-playing games in which a very large number of players interact with one another within a virtual game world. Things that make MMOGS different from other games is that the MMOG share characteristics that make them different from other multiplayer online games. MMOGs create a persistent universe where the game continues playing regardless of whether or not anyone else is. Since these games strongly or exclusively emphasize multiplayer gameplay, few of them have any significant single-player aspects or client-side artificial intelligence. As a result, players cannot "beat" MMOGs in the typical sense of single-player games.

2.Would there be stresses in living in a virtual world?

AnS: No, i think they wouldn't be any stressed as the money that we loose is not a real money so there is nothing to worry about and it is just a game that provied us an entertainment not stress. Moreover, we can meet some new friends and chat together. We can sell items in the game and change into a real money.

1.What are MMOGs and how do they differer from regular video games?

MMOGs stand for Massively Multiplayer Online Games. It is a video game which thousands of players can play together at the same time on the internet. It provides the players to be able to compete each other and to response each other.

2.Would there be stresses in living in a virtual world?

Living in a virtual world would also be some stresses as much as in the real world. Some people may think of playing this game to avoid the real world, but however, you still have to find stresses there. Sometimes, the other players do not say nicely to you or even try to annoy you in some ways.

'''3.Look at e-bay and see what is being sold from secondlife and other on-line game forum. Is the economy from these games real?'''

Programs of the game, lands in the game, guides how to play the game or how to upgrade their levels in the game, and games playing in the game such as bowling, tennis, and soccor. These games' economy is real because they spend real money to buy items on ebay in their real lives.

1.What are MMOGs and how do they differer from regular video games?

AnS:MMOGs or Massively multiplayer online role-playing game is a genre of computer role-playing games in which a very large number of players interact with one another within a virtual game world. Things that make MMOGS different from other games is that the MMOG share characteristics that make them different from other multiplayer online games. MMOGs create a persistent universe where the game continues playing regardless of whether or not anyone else is. Since these games strongly or exclusively emphasize multiplayer gameplay, few of them have any significant single-player aspects or client-side artificial intelligence. As a result, players cannot "beat" MMOGs in the typical sense of single-player games.

2.Would there be stresses in living in a virtual world?

AnS: No, i think they wouldn't be any stressed as the money that we loose in the game is not a real money so there is nothing to worry about and it is just a game that provied us an entertainment not stress. Moreover, we can meet some new friends and chat together. We can sell items in the game and change into a real money. Somehow we can get stress if we paly the game seriously, like put pressure on yourself and try to collect the items for selling.

3. Look at e-bay and see what is being sold from secondlife and other on-line game forum. Is the economy from these games real?

AnS: The products that people sell on the ebay site are second life game bundle, killer guide, building guide and etc.For other game online people also trade the game items using real money.The ecomony from these game is real. Acoording to the research, the second life online game have people trading the game items for more than 1.8 million dollar per day, this led the second life economic so complicated and the secondlife money is fluctuate as like in the real world. On this present day, 1USD$ is eaqual to 200-200L$.

1.What are MMOGs and how do they differer from regular video games? - MMOGs comes from Massively Multiplayer Online Games. It is a game where many people( hundred ot thousand) can play together at the same time via the Internet, while the other regular video game can only play 1-4 players at a time. The regular video game can be able to play without using the Unternet.

2.Would there be stresses in living in a virtual world? - I think for those people who play the game too serious, they might be stressed than other people because they might want their belongings in the game to become value in their real life. Also, living in a virtual world would also be stresses because some people probably play this game to avoid the stress from the real world, but they may find stress in the game as well. For example, sometimes they might face with some players try to annoy you and talk badly to you.

'''3.Look at e-bay and see what is being sold from secondlife and other on-line game forum. Is the economy from these games real?''' - The people in the game sell their products by using money in the real world. They sell clothings, killer guide and etc. For other games they will only trade the items in the game. The economy in secondlife is real and second life economic is so complicated as like the real world.

In this short workshop, we'll define a few terms, and move forward to discuss some observations about rhythmic music, focusing on meter as it is codified by musical time signatures.

Terms

 * Rhythm: An organized series of sounds in time, often repeating.
 * Pulse and tempo: An underlying velocity upon which many rhythms are built.
 * Metrical Hierarchy: Not all pulses are created equal. (heartbeat vs. clock tick)
 * Downbeat: A pulse of greatest emphasis.
 * Meter: A repeating pulse group with a standard metrical hierarchy.
 * Time signature: A scheme for transcribing a meter.

Music Literacy

 * Simple rhythmic notation
 * Rhythmic syllables: ta, ti-ti, and ti-ka-ti-ka

Examples

 * Eartha Kitt's "The Day that the Circus Left Town"
 * Orkestar Zirkonium's "Heavy the Foreign Land"
 * Dave Brubeck's "Take Five"
 * Tito Puente's "Take Five"

Exercises

 * 1) Creating a rhythm over a chosen meter
 * 2) Creating a polyrhythm

Constitutional and institutional law of the European Union.

Section B: Sources of European Union law.

Chapter 3: Secondary legislation: Regulations, Directives. [Decisions, General Principles of Law]

Notes by Kaihsu Tai, 2010-05-03.

Regulations
A regulation has ‘general application’ and is ‘binding in its entirety’: Article 288 TFEC. As such, it does not require further national enactment, for ‘all methods of implementation are contrary to the Treaty which have the result of creating an obstacle to the direct effect of Community Regulations and of jeopardising their simultaneous and uniform application in the whole of the Community’: Commission v Italy 39/72.

Exceptionally, when Regulation does not specify penalty for an infringement, Member States can penalize ‘under conditions, both procedural and substantive, which are analogous to those applicable to infringement of national law of a similar nature and importance, and ... effective, proportionate, and dissuasive’: Ebony Maritime SA v Prefetto della Provincia di Brindisi C-177/95. Regulations can contain provisions empowering Member States to pass implementing measures: Eridania 230/78. Such may be implicitly permitted: Bussone 31/78; even obligatory: Commission v UK (tachographs) 128/78.

Directives
‘A directive shall be binding, as to the result to be achieved, upon each Member State to which it is addressed, but shall leave to the national authorities the choice of form and methods’: Article 288 TFEC. For the sake of legal certainty, member states ought to implement directives so individuals ‘have the benefit of a clear and precise legal situation’: Commission v Greece C-236/95.

Direct effect of directives
Since the developments in the cases Van Duyn v Home Office 41/74 and Pubblico Ministero v Tullio Ratti 148/78, the Court summarizes the law thus: ‘whenever the provisions of a directive appear, so far as their subject-matter is concerned, to be unconditional and sufficiently precise, they may be relied upon before the national courts by an individual against the State where that State has failed to implement the directive in national law by the end of the period prescribed or where it has failed to implement the directive correctly’ (estoppel): restated in Kortas C-319/97.

‘Member States to which that directive is addressed to refrain, during the period laid down therein for its implementation, from adopting measures liable seriously to compromise the result prescribed’: Inter-Environnement Wallonie ASBL v Région Wallonne C-129/96.

The state
In (at least) some cases, a directive cannot be relied upon against a private (non-state) entity; but even then, ‘the state’ is defined widely. ‘In either case [whether employer or public authority], it is necessary to prevent the state from taking advantage of its own failure to comply with Community law’: Marshall v Southampton and South-West Hampshire Area Health Authority (Teaching) 152/84. ‘The state’ here being ‘a body, whatever its legal form, which has been made responsible, [1] pursuant to a measure adopted by a state, for [2] providing a public service [3] under the control of the state and [4] has for that purpose special powers beyond those which result from the normal rules applicable in relations between individuals’: Foster v British Gas C-188/89.

Horizontal effect (if at all) of directives
Cases like Marshall 152/84, Pfeiffer v Deutsches Rotes Kreuz C-397/01, and Mangold C-144/04 did not do enough to clarify whether directives have horizontal direct effect, especially in ‘triangular’ cases where relationship between an individual with the state also affects another individual. There is scope for hedging: Hartley pp 206 to 213. Recent cases such as Carp Snc v Ecorad Srl C-80/06 and Bartsch v Bosch und Siemens Hausgeräte C-427/06 seems to confirm Marshall and Pfeiffer against horizontal effect, and distinguish from Mangold.

Directive 83/189, and Belgium’s failure to comply with it, was relevant to the dispute between three private security companies: CIA Security International SA v Signalson SA and Securitel Sprl C-194/94. The national ‘substantial procedural defect’ was in breach of the directive, rendering the national technical regulation inapplicable, even in ‘horizontal’ cases: Unilever Italia SpA v Central Food SpA C-443/98. (This may be a case where a directive is substantively a regulation in disguise.)

After all, a directive cannot be relied upon to increase the liability in criminal law of accused persons: Kolpinghuis Nijmegen 80/86; Silvio Berlusconi and others C-387/02.

When an unimplemented Directive contains a general principle or reference to EU fundamental rights, these provisions have full direct effect, even in relationships between private parties: Kücükdeveci C-555/07.

Indirect effect or the doctrine of consistent interpretation
Per Article 4(3) TEU (‘The Member States shall take any appropriate measure, general or particular, to ensure fulfilment of the obligations arising out of the Treaties or resulting from the acts of the institutions of the Union.’), ‘It is for the national court to interpret and apply the legislation adopted for the implementation of the directive in conformity with the requirements of Community law, in so far as it is given discretion to do so under national law’: Von Colson and Kamann v Land Nordrhein-Westfalen 14/83. This applies to national law predating the relevant directive in relations between individuals: Marleasing SA v La Comercial Internacional de Alimentación SA C-106/89.

‘Where a directive is transposed belatedly into a Member State’s domestic law and the relevant provisions of the directive do not have direct effect, the national courts are bound to interpret domestic law so far as possible, once the period for transposition has expired, in the light of the wording and the purpose of the directive concerned with a view to achieving the results sought by the directive, favouring the interpretation of the national rules which is the most consistent with that purpose in order thereby to achieve an outcome compatible with the provisions of the directive’: Adeneler v Ellinikos Organismos Galaktos C-212/04.

Comitology and delegated legislation
Three possible kinds of committees exist, namely advisory, management, and regulatory: Council Decision 1999/468 laying down the Procedures for the Exercise of Implementing Powers Conferred on the Commission.

Decisions
Article 288 TFEC: ‘A decision shall be binding in its entirety. A decision which specifies those to whom it is addressed shall be binding only on them.’ Decisions can have direct effect before national courts: Franz Grad v Finanzamt Traunstein 9/70.

Apparently the test for direct effect for decisions would be similar or the same as that for Treaty provisions (namely, clear and unambiguous, unconditional, not dependent on further action: Hurd v Jones 44/84) and directives (that is, ‘unconditional and sufficiently precise ... against the State’: Kortas C-319/97 restating Van Duyn 41/7).

General principles of law
‘It is the responsibility of the national court to guarantee the full effectiveness of the general principle of non-discrimination in respect of age, setting aside any provision of national law which may conflict with Community law, even where the period prescribed for transposition of that directive has not yet expired’: Mangold C-144/04.
