Paz! is a 2002 Italian comedy film written and directed by Renato De Maria. Set in 1977 in Bologna, it is based on several comic characters created by Andrea Pazienza.
Paz or PAZ may refer to:
Paz also means peace in Spanish Galician origin
This is a list of fictional characters in the anime, manga, and film series Ghost in the Shell created by Masamune Shirow.
Lt. Col. Daisuke Aramaki (荒巻 大輔, Aramaki Daisuke) is the Chief Executive Director of Public Security Section 9.
In Stand Alone Complex, Lt. Col. Aramaki is a strict chief, and is informally referred to by Section 9 agents as the "old ape" (most likely because in the original manga he was drawn with a face that appeared to be half monkey, half man). Even so, he is fiercely loyal to the members of Section 9, and often puts his own career on the line to ensure the survival of the rest of his team.
In 2nd GIG, Aramaki uses his political connections and no small amount of bargaining with the new prime minister to get Section 9 reinstated. He is shown to have a disconnected brother of similar age in the Dejima with the refugees, and in Solid State Society it is implied that he is the son of a once-feared military general, as well as that he was once married.
Bias is an inclination or outlook to present or hold a partial perspective, often accompanied by a refusal to consider the possible merits of alternative points of view. Biases are learned implicitly within cultural contexts. People may develop biases toward or against an individual, an ethnic group, a nation, a religion, a social class, a political party, theoretical paradigms and ideologies within academic domains, or a species. Biased means one-sided, lacking a neutral viewpoint, or not having an open mind. Bias can come in many forms and is related to prejudice and intuition.
In science and engineering, a bias is a systematic error.
A cognitive bias is a repeating or basic misstep in thinking, assessing, recollecting, or other cognitive processes. That is, a pattern of deviation from standards in judgment, whereby inferences may be created unreasonably. People create their own "subjective social reality" from their own perceptions, their view of the world may dictate their behaviour. Thus, cognitive biases may sometimes lead to perceptual distortion, inaccurate judgment, illogical interpretation, or what is broadly called irrationality. However some cognitive biases are taken to be adaptive, and thus may lead to success in the appropriate situation. Furthermore, cognitive biases may allow speedier choices when speed is more valuable than precision. Other cognitive biases are a "by-product" of human processing limitations, coming about because of an absence of appropriate mental mechanisms, or just from human limitations in information processing.
Biasing in electronics is the method of establishing predetermined voltages or currents at various points of an electronic circuit for the purpose of establishing proper operating conditions in electronic components. Many electronic devices such as transistors and vacuum tubes, whose function is processing time-varying (AC) signals also require a steady (DC) current or voltage to operate correctly — a bias. The AC signal applied to them is superposed on this DC bias current or voltage. The operating point of a device, also known as bias point, quiescent point, or Q-point, is the steady-state voltage or current at a specified terminal of an active device (a transistor or vacuum tube) with no input signal applied.
The term is also used for an alternating current (AC) signal applied to some electronic devices which is similarly required for correct operation, such as the tape bias signal applied to magnetic recording heads used in magnetic tape recorders.
In electronic engineering, the term bias has the following meanings:
In Greek mythology, Bias (/ˈbaɪ.əs/; Ancient Greek: Βίας) was a brother of Melampus who received one third of the Kingdom of Argos (see Melampus for more information).
Bias married his cousin Pero who was the daughter of Neleus. It was said that Neleus would not allow his daughter to marry anyone unless the suitor brought him the oxen of Iphiclus. This Melampus achieved with courage and using his supernatural abilities of speaking with animals, upon winning the challenge he arranged the marriage of Pero and Bias, they had one child together, Talaus.
When Pero died Bias remarried Iphianassa, daughter of Proetus, after Melampus had cured her, her sisters and the women of Argive from madness. He received one third of Proetus's kingdom all of which he gave to Bias. Bias and Iphianassa had a daughter Anaxibia who married Pelias, to whom she bore Acastus and several daughters. According to Pausanias, Amythaon is the father of Bias and Melampus. Their mother was Idomene, daughter of Pheres or Abas of Argos.
1, 2, 3, Go!
I'm up by 8 AM
Every single morning
Cause sadly, I am still in high school.
Teachers are so frustrating.
They never give me a break and
the security guards are tools.
I can't wait to get out
In 3 weeks, you'll hear me shout.
The summers here and now I'm free!
I'll pimp out my stunna shades
And sip on lemonade
Thinking, thank God no more school for me.
Summer, summer, summer
Here I come!
Now that school is finally done, I am ready to have some fun.
Summer, summer, summer
Please don't go!
Let's enjoy our time and take it slow, cause I'm not ready to go...
BACK!
Now that schools out of the way
We can go out and play
No more homework to do for me
It's time to stay celebrate
We can stay out real late
And finally go out and party
Let's pack all of our things up
And head off to the beach
The sun is out, and the tides are high.
Girls in bikini, and friends laying in the sand.
You can TAKE MY HAND if you don't have a man.
The first lesson in Summer 101 is:
Don't be in a rush to try to grow up
if its one thing the summer can teach you
it's that good things come to an end
and you will realize my friend
that someday you'll have to face the winter.
Summer, summer, summer
Here I come!
Now that school is finally done, I am ready to have some fun.
Summer, summer, summer
Please don't go!
