Dr. Thomas Neill Cream

Dr. Thomas Neill Cream

Dr. Thomas Neill Cream, he was a Scottish which was born in Glasgow May 27, 1850. He was raised outside Quebec City, Canada, after his family moved there. He was a student at McGill University in Montreal and St Thomas's Hospital Medical School. Cream had an extra incentive for crossing the Atlantic to England, since he just got married to a woman named Flora Brooks, whom he had impregnated and almost killed while aborting the baby. His wife's family forced him to the church at gunpoint.

Cream was also known as the Lambeth Poisoner. He was a serial killer who claimed his first proven victims in the United States and the rest in England. Cream then was executed after his attempts to frame others for his crimes brought him to the attention of the police in London.

Thomas Neill Cream established a medical practice not far from the red-light district in Chicago, offering illegal abortions to prostitutes. He was investigated in August 1880 after the death of Mary Anne Faulkner (one of Cream's illegal patients), but he escaped prosecution due to small amount of evidence.

A few years later, Cream was caught, and on July 13, 1892, he was charged with murdering Matilda Clover. From the start he insisted he was only Dr. Thomas Neill, not Dr. Thomas Neill Cream, and the newspaper usually referred to him as Dr. Neill in their coverage of the proceedings. His trial lasted from 17 to 21 October that year. He was convicted and sentenced to death.

The Similarities of Plato's Myth of The Cave and The Lion King

The Lion King

-The Lion King, an American animated musical adventure film produced by Walt Disney Animation and released by Walt Disney Pictures.

-Relating the Plato's Myth of The Cave and The Lion King;

• The Prisoners symbolizes Simba (The main character and a male Lion).
• Simba ran from home because he is afraid to face the other lions due to his cause that the king's/his father's death. He lives with Timon and Pumba in a jungle far away from his homeland so that he would not face his past mistakes.
• The Chain symbolizes the throne (King of Lions).
• The throne are the reasons for Scar (Simba's uncle) to betray his brother (Simba's father) and kill him in a stamped.
• The Fire symbolizes Scar.
• Scar was the mastermind in the story. He came with a plan to kill Mufasa (Simba's father) and simba so that he may get the throne.
• The Shadows and The Images symbolizes the Hyenas.
• The hyenas are the ones that played in Scar's plan on murdering the king and simba.
• The Puppet Players also symbolizes Scar.
• Scar was so intense to gain the throne, he came with a plan to kill Mufasa and Simba. Scar was also the one who ordered the Hyenas to take control of the Pride Land (Simba's homeland)
• The Old Man symbolizes Rafiki (the Shaman Baboon / Mufasa's friend)
• Rafiki came for Simba when he after he had a vision that Simba is not dead. He then talks to Simba to return to Pride Land, which Simba refuses to. He then brought Simba to meet his father's spirit and make Simba return to Pride Land.

-Simba never taught his uncle Scar could do such a thing. Simba did not believe what Nala (Simba's old friend) said about his uncle. Nala also told simba what the other lioness think (that Simba died in the stampede with his father), which also Simba did not believe.

-Simba did not want to return to Pride Land because he did not want to face his dark past (cause of the death of the king). Simba also thought that he does not deserve the throne, because he thought that he was the one who causes the death of the King Mufasa.

Facebook

Facebook is one of the social networking services that is famous nowadays. This particular website was launched on February 2004. Operated and privately owned by Facebook Inc. In order to have a Facebook account, users must first register to the website. Once an account is created, users can create profile with photos, list of personal interest, contact information, and other personal information.

Facebook users can communicate with friends and other users through private or public messages and a chat feature. They can also create and join interest group and "like pages", some of which are preserved by organizations as a means of advertising.

For those users who are concern about their privacy, Facebook enables users to choose their own privacy settings and choose who can see specific parts of their profile. The Web site is free to users, and generates profits from advertising. Facebook requires a users's name and profile picture (if possible) to be accessible by everyone. Users can control who sees other information they have shared, as well as who can find them in search, through privacy settings.

The founders of Facebook known as Mark Zuckerberg with his college room-mates and some other fellow students. The Web site was first created for the Harvard students, then expanded to other colleges in the Boston area, the ivy League, and Stanford University. Supported by many students from other college and universities, Facebook then opened the site's membership to high school students, and eventually to anyone aged 13 and above.

The media often compares  the Facebook website and the MySpace website. However, there is one major difference between those two website, which is the level of customization. Another difference is that Facebook required its users to give their true identity, a demand that MySpace does not make.

MySpace allows users to decorate their profiles using HTML and Cascading Style Sheets, while Facebook allows only plain text. Facebook also provides a number of features in which users may interact. The features include the Wall (a space on every user's profile page that allows friends to post messages for the users to see), Pokes (which will allow users to send a virtual "poke" to each other), Photos (users may uplode albums and photos), and Status (allows users to inform their friends of their location and activities).

Facebook is built in PHP which is combined with HipHop for PHP, a source code transform built by Facebook engineers that turns PHP into CC++. According to an interview that was conducted on 2012 with Chuck Rossi, a build engineer at Facebook, Facebook compiles into a 1.5Gb binary blob which later was distributed to the servers using a custom BitTorrent-based release system. Rossi said that it will take about 15 minutes to build and 15 minutes more to release it to the servers.

Syllogism

Syllogism is a kind of logical argument in which a particular conclusion is incidental from two or more others of a certain form.

In the distance past, there were two rival theories of the syllogism. The theories are Aristotelian syllogistic and Stoic syllogistic. Aristotle says that syllogism is a discourse in which, certain things having been supposed, something different from the things supposed results of necessity because these things are so.
Syllogism consist two reasoning, which is deductive reasoning and inductive reasoning :-

• Deductive reasoning is where facts are determined by combining existing statements.
• Inductive reasoning is where facts are determined by repeated observations.

A categorical syllogism have three parts, that is the major premise, the minor premise, and the conclusion. For example :-

All cats have nine lives.

Mr. Kiko is a cat.

There for Mr. Kiko has nine lives.

All three of the terms represent a category. The example above stated cat, Mr. Kiko, and nine lives. The major term would be; "nine lives", and the minor term is "Mr. Kiko". The premises also consist a common term, known as the middle term. From the example given, "cat" would be the middle term.

Here are some other example of syllogism :-

All humans are mortal.

Cynthia is a human.

Cynthia is a mortal.

All teachers are clever.

Amir is a teacher.

Amir is clever.

All fish lives in the water.

Sharks live in the water.

Sharks are fish.

All candies are sweet.

All lollipops are sweet.

All lollipops are candies.

Vitamin C is good for humans.

All oranges consist vitamin C.

All oranges are good for humans.

To identify a syllogisms validity, one must determine the allocation of each term in each statement. In a simple syllogistic patterns, some fallacies of invalid patterns are :-

1. Undistributed middle. (The terms in the premise does not support each other)
2. Exclusive premises. (The major and minor terms did not create a bond or has no link)
3. Affirmative conclusion from a negative premise. (If both of the premise are negative, then the conclusion also should be negative)
4. Negative conclusion from affirmative premises. (The conclusion should be affirmative if both of the premises are affirmative)
