50 Word Stories

Hidden Objects in Bamboo:In the middle of a wasted land, a shining bamboo surprised me. I found it intriguing and wanted to see the inside to discover the root cause of it. Using a hatchet, I hacked at the stalk. The root was a battery instead of a baby girl from the moon.(This is a story set in the future based on the oldest recorded story in Japanese literature: 「竹取物語」and the character「かぐや姫」who comes from the moon and is found by an old bamboo cutter.In short, she refuses to marry any nobleman’s son and even the Emperor. Eventually, the moon people come and escort her back to the moon, despite the Emperor’s army doing their best to prevent this. The Emperor orders his men to burn the letter and the ‘eternal life potion’ from かぐや姫 saying that ‘Living forever is nothing to me if I won’t ever be able to see the moon people again.’ The smoke from the burning can still be seen over Mt. Fuji)

A Visit to the Translator’s: After alighting the old tram in an old-fashioned section of the town, the tired person moved towards a new office.The boss greeted him at the doorway. He paid the boss money and gave him a sheet of paper. The boss signed it. What a process for a small passport.

Rain inAutumn:The clouds would look like‘someone had insulted them’ before any rain of that scale. Some people would have been affected by that. The clouds passed by quickly and the sun came out. Those under cover looked through the window without memories of the ferocity of the rain and wind.

Qualified Professionals Earn From It and others spend money: Some people don’t respect their ancestors. However, it is their choice whether they want to change. The companies of Asia prefer to choose pretty people over common people. Naturally healthy people should be chosen. No change of social structure will occur until people begin to treat this as an issue.

Too Good To Be True. How some get rich and others become poor: They set up fake offices, move out after finishing their job, and allow others to realise just how dumb they had been.

reverse-engineering

  Whether it's rebuilding a car engine or diagramming a sentence, people can learn about many things simply by taking them apart and putting them back together again. That, in a nutshell, is the concept behind reverse-engineering—breaking something down in order to understand it, build a copy or improve it.   A process that was originally applied only to hardware, reverse-engineering is now applied to software, databases and even human DNA. Reverse-engineering is especially important with computer hardware and software. Programs are written in a language, say C++ or Java, that's understandable by other programmers. But to run on a computer, they have to be translated by another program, called a compiler, into the ones and zeros of machine language. Compiled code is incomprehensible to most programmers, but there are ways to convert machine code back to a more human-friendly format, including a software tool called a decompiler.   Reverse-engineering is used for m...

Australian Icons Research

  Australian Icons Research- Why and How is Qantas Airlines Iconic? In March 1919, W Hudson Fysh and Paul McGinness became interested in a competition sponsored by the Government. They were unable to receive funding, and so, on 18 August 1919, in a Model T Ford, they began an assignment from the Defence Department to check a different competition route. It was during these 51 days when their determination grew to allow outback Queenslanders and people of North Australia have access to a more reasonable way of life. The key to this was air transport. Fergus McMaster, a wealthy grazier who was friends with McGinness, was the primary supporter of this new idea. He was Chairman in the beginning. The formation of the original Qantas company (Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Services Limited.) was in 16 November 1920. The well-known ‘QANTAS’ was created from the acronym of this first name. Joy riding and demonstration flights were undertaken with two expertly modified old plane...

ADDENDUM FOR BIOLOGY NATURAL SELECTION

Geographical isolation is characterised in this experiment by the difference of the swamp and forest and the existence of a desert in between the two ecosystems. Natural features are the main cause of isolation. These include rivers and mountain ranges. The geographical isolation of landmasses by continental drift is another good example. In general, reproductive isolation is the inability of related or different species breeding due to differences involving many factors. These include geographical, behavioural, physiological, or genetic barriers or differences (isolating mechanisms). Speciation could occur in this simulation in various ways. There are many types or modes of speciation. Since the yellow frogs in the swamp have very little variation, they will be much less likely to survive when the environment changes. If we suppose the forest became a bush, the frogs would have a higher chance of survival. In our simulation there was no movement between the two ecosystems. If the sw...
