The present invention describes a process for producing synthesis gas by partial oxidation of carbon-containing particles suspended in water with oxygen at elevated pressures and temperatures of 1000° to 1600° C. Three substance streams are added separately but simultaneously to the reactor. The inner substance stream consists of oxygen or a mixture of oxygen and synthesis gas. The middle substance stream forms a carbon-water suspension, and the outer substance stream carries oxygen or oxygen-containing gases. Due to the fact that these three substance streams intersect at an acute angle, an ideal distribution of the suspension with the gas streams is achieved and an optimum reaction course is ensured. In order to be able to compensate requirement fluctuations during continuous operation, the outlet opening for the carbon-water suspension and the outer gas stream can be correspondingly adapted in a continuous and independent manner.

This application is a continuation, of application Ser. No. 753,350, filed July 2, 1985, now abandoned, which is a continuation of Ser. No. 431,991, filed Sept. 30, 1982, now abandoned.
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to coal gasification. More especially, this invention relates to a process and apparatus for producing synthesis gas by partial oxidation of carbonaceous solids suspended in water.
2. Discussion of Prior Art
German Offenlegungsschrift 23 09 821 describes a burner and a process for producing synthesis gas by partial oxidation of hydrocarbons and slurries of solid, carbon-containing fuels in liquid hydrocarbons. The burner consists of a central, axial tubular gas line joined to two further tubular inlets concentrically arranged relative to this line. In order to carry out the process, oxygen may be added to the reaction via the central axial line, and a hydrocarbon or a slurry of solid hydrocarbon-containing fuels in hydrocarbons via the middle line concentrically surrounding the said dentral feed line.
A temperature-regulating gas is introduced via the outer concentric line. A gas or gas mixture which reacts enothermically in the formation of synthesis gas is used as temperature-regulating gas. Water in the form of droplets or stream, and inert gases such as nitrogen and carbon dioxide are recommended. Steam and carbon dioxide are preferred as the temperature-regulating gas since inert gases have the disadvantage that they merely dilute the reaction product. The purpose of this temperature regulating gas is to effect the reaction temperatures and suppress the back-mixing of already formed synthesis gas in the zone of partial oxidation.
The disadvantage of such process is that the coal-water suspensions are not converted to the desired extent into synthesis gas. It is true that a temperature control is achieved when using an outer inert gas stream, though at the expense of the conversion, with the result that unreacted carbon fractions remain in the gas stream.
These disadvantages are avoided in the process according to the invention for producing synthesis gas by partial oxidation of carbon-containing particles suspended in water with oxygen in a reaction zone at elevated pressure and a temperature of 1000° to 1600° C., wherein the suspension and oxygen are added separately to the reaction zone. The process is characterized in that a centrically introduced gas (oxygen-containing) stream is surrounded by a coal-water suspension guided concentrically around the said gas stream, and a further oxygen-containing outer gas stream is led, guided concentrically around this suspension stream, to the reaction zone.
It has proven advantageous to add 1 to 20% by weight of the total required amount of O2 via the inner gas stream, and to introduce the remaining amount of oxygen via the outer gas stream.
In a special embodiment of the process according to the invention, 1 to 19% by weight of synthesis gas referred to the total amount of oxygen required is added to the inner gas stream, which contains in total 20% of the gas referred to the total amount of oxygen required. The residual gas amount is oxygen.
The coal-water suspension, which forms the middle substance stream, is added at a velocity of 1 to 25m/sec. to the reactor, which is under a pressure of 10 to 200 bars. In general it is recommended to add the coal-water suspension to the reaction zone at a velocity of 5 to 15 m/sec., whereas the inner and outer gas streams reach the reaction zone at a velocity of 50 to 300 m/sec., preferably 80 to 200 m/sec. The three concentric guide lines, in which the two gas streams and the coal-water suspension are led separately but simultaneously, are conically tapered at their end facing the reaction zone. The tangential elongation of the inner surface of one of each conical tapering produces with the central axis a point of intersection which simultaneously forms the apex of an imaginary cone. The less the conical tapering, the smaller the angle which the tangent to the inner surface of the tube forms with the central axis. The cone is correspondingly acute. The greater the degree of conical tapering, the greater the angle of intersection between the tangent to the inner surface and the central axis.
It is recommended to choose a relatively small angle of 0° to 15° referred to the central axis, for the conical tapering of the inner gas stream, whereas the angle for the coal-water suspension surrounding the inner gas stream should be 5° to 40° relative to the central axis, and the angle for the outer gas stream should be 10° to 85°, likewise relative to the central axis.
By suitably combining the conical taperings, the flow direction of the coal-water suspension forms an angle of 5° to 30° with the flow direction of the inner gas stream, and the flow direction of the outer gas stream forms an angle of 5° to 50° with the flow direction of the coal-water suspension.
This means that the suspension flow in the vicinity of the end of the conical tapering is forced apart and broken up by the inner gas stream. The suspension stream thus experiences a horizontal deflection and does not pass in free fall through the reaction zone. The average residence time of the individual coal-water droplets is thus increased and as a result an improved conversion is achieved.
At the same time the outer gas stream meets the suspension stream that has been "expanded" by the inner gas stream and produces an additional mixing of gas and suspension, so that a zone of uniform distribution of gas or oxygen and very fine suspension droplets is produced. This is an essential prerequisite for achieving as high a degree of conversion of the suspension as possible. This is further assisted by the different entry velocity of the coal-water suspension on the one hand, and the gas streams on the other hand. One can also feed the inner gas stream to the reaction zone at a higher velocity than the outer gas stream and vice versa. In general the inlet velocity of the gas stream is considerably higher than that of the coal-water suspension.
As demonstration tests show, a zone resembling the shape of a tulip including a short stem is produced immediately at the end of the conical taperings, i.e. at the burner mouth. FIGS. 1 and 2 which are longitudinal sectional views of an apparatus according to the invention. Lines 10 show the paths of individual droplets.
In a modern coal gasification plant, which operates for commercial reasons in conjunction with neighboring consumers such as chemical plants of power-stations, problems of adaptation to the respective requirements of the consumers inevitably arise. This means that frequently a rapid change in the throughput in the coal gasification plant is necessary in order to cover peak demands during power production. Care, therefore, has to be taken to ensure that the amounts of coal-water suspension and gas or oxygen that are used are continuously adjusted to the respective increased or reduced demands. At the same time, however, even temporary shutdowns of the coal gasification plant must be avoided, e.g. by the use of a suitably dimensioned burner. Even a brief shutdown will produce an unallowable cooling of the reactor and thus tive rise to problems when restarting the gasification process, since the brickwork must be so hot that the initiation of the chemical reaction between water and coal is ensured.
This is achieved according to the invention by a continuous enlargement or reduction in the free outlet openings of the coal-water suspension and of the outer gas stream.
The middle tube, which guides the coal-water suspension through the annular gap formed with the inner tube, is not rigidly connected to the inner tube, and the inner tube can be displaced relative to the middle tube in the direction of the cnetral axis.
The middle tube can also be continuously displaced independently of the adjustability of the inner tube, which is rigidly arranged relative to the outer tube.
If the middle tube is displaced in the direction of its outlet opening, the annular gap between the inside of the outer tube and the outside of the middle tube starts to reduce uniformly. Since, however, the size of this annular gap affects the amount of the outer gas stream, a reduction in the annular gap is thus accompanied by a reduction in the gas throughput, and an enlargement of the annular gap is accompanied by an increase in the amount of gas and the gasification process can thus be adapted according to practical operational requirements without having to interrupt the gasification process.
The same is true, independently of the afore-described change in the outer annular gap, for the annular gap through which the coal-water suspension exits. A displacement of the inner tube in the direction of its outlet opening, i.e. parallel to the central axis, reduces the annular gap formed between the inside of the middle tube and the outside of the inner tube. A retraction of the inner tube widens the free annular gap and thus increases the consumption of coal-water suspension.
Any necessary adaption of the amount of gas supplied via the inner tube can be controlled by raising or lowering the gas pressure. Raising the gas pressure produces, at constant pressure in the gasification process, an increase in the gas amount, while lowering the gas pressure reduces the inner gas stream.
In this way it is possible to adapt the gasification process within wide limits to the respective requirements of synthesis gas consumers without having to interrupt the process.
The apparatus required for carrying out the process according to the invention is illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2. The process will be described hereinafter with the aid of these figures:
The three substance streams, which are under pressure, are fed by means of three, concentrically arranged tubes. An outer tube 1 serves to supply the outer substance stream, consisting of pure oxygen or an oxygen-containing gas mixture. A middle tube 2 is inserted into the outer tube 1, the outside of the former constituting the inner boundary of the outer gas stream. The middle tube 2 serves to supply coal-water suspension. An inner tube 3, which feeds the inner gas stream to the reaction, is inserted in the middle tube 2.
The outer gas stream is fed via a connection pipe 4 provided with a flange, which is mounted on the outer tube. The coal-water suspension is fed to the middle tube 2 via a connection pipe 5 provided with a flange, and the inner gas stream is fed to the inner tube 3 via an opening 6 provided with a connection pipe.
The outer tube 1 has a conical tapering 7. A conical tapering 8 is formed at the end of the middle tube, and the end of the inner tube 3 is likewise formed into a conical tapering 9. The shapes and arrangement of the conical taperings 7, 8 and 9, constitute the burner types. The angle of constriction and the interspacing of the three nozzle ends determine the angle of the three substance streams with respect to one another and affect the course of the combustion process within the reaction zone 10.
In addition, the amounts of the three substance streams and the distribution thereof amoung the three feed paths as well as the relative velocities of the substance streams determine the course of the conversion.
Since the burner nozzles, i.e. the conical taperings 7, 8 and 9, are not only exposed to high thermal stress on account of their vicinity to the reaction zone, but are also subjected to substantial abrasion, they are made from heat resistant and wear-resistant material. In addition, it is recommended to design the conical taperings in a reinforced form. This is achieved by increasing the wall thickness, e.g. by applying the afore-mentioned wear-resistant material to the surface to be reinforced.
In order to reduce the thermal stress at the burner tip, the outer tube 1 is provided with a line 11 which passes a cooling agent such as water or steam through a flange 12 mounted on the outer tube 1. The flange 12 serves mechanically to secure the burner to the reactor 13. The line 11 coils around the outer tube 1 and enters a cooling channel 14 located in the conical tapering 7. A further component piece of the line 11 is attached to the cooling channel 14 and serves to transport the cooling agent away. This component piece is likewise coiled around the outer tube and exits through the flange 12.
The outer tube 1 has a reinforcement 15 above the connection pipe 4, with a fixed retaining ring 16 which accommodates a rotatable threaded nut 17. The threaded nut 17 is for its part connected to a worm wheel 18. This worm wheel 18 is moved by a servomotor 19, which has a chain drive and a worm shaft 20. Power is transmitted from the servomotor 19 via the chain to the worm shaft 20, which in turn transmits the power taken up to the worm wheel 18.
In this way one can, during, the implementation of the process according to the invention, axially displace the position of the middle tube 2 to the outer tube 1 via the counterthread at the part 17 connected to said tube 2. By retracting the middle tube 2 with respect to the outer tube 1, the nozzle opening formed by the conical taperings 7 and 8 is widened. With an enlarged nozzle opening it is possible to increase the throughput of the substance stream.
Conversely, a displacement of the middle tube 2 with respect to the outer tube 1 reduces the nozzle opening formed by the conical taperings. By reducing the nozzle opening one can reduce appropriately the throughput of the substance stream.
The reinforcement 15 comprises one or more bores 21 and 22. The bore 22 is a test bore used to check the hermeticity of the arrangement. The bore 21 constitutes a connection for a sealing chamber, not illustrated here. The purpose of the sealing chamber is to prevent the outlet of the pure oxygen or oxygen mixture under pressure.
A cooling device is also arranged at the lower end of the reinforcement 15, which is formed by a cooling channel 23 tobether with a feed line 24 for the coolant, and an outlet line 25.
The middle tube 2 has a solidly formed widening at the height of the reinforcement 15. This widening fully occupies the free cross-section of the outer tube 1. A plurality of grooves 26 intended to accommodate sealing rings is provided in the outside of this widening.
The inner tube 3 can be adjusted relative to the middle tube 2 by means of a fixed retaining ring 31, and with the aid of a, as previously described, similarly arranged mechanism which moves, with the aid of a servomotor 27 via a chain drive at a worm shaft 28, a worm wheel 29 and a threaded nut 30 connected to the said worm shaft. The widening 32 corresponds to the flange 15, but is, however, dimensioned corresponding to the dimensions of the middle tube and inner tube.
The cross-section of the nozzle opening formed by the conical taperings 8 and 9 is altered by displacing the inner tube 3 relative to the middle tube 2. The displacement and retraction of the inner tube 3, in addition to effecting an adaptation to the throughput, effects the atomization of the reaction mixture and thus the conversion.
In this way one can adapt the burner device to the respective requirements during continuous operation. If the consumption of synthesis gas is low, if e.g., a connected gas turbine in a power-station is operated only under normal load, the, middle tube 2 and the inner tube 3 are appropriately displaced. If on the other hand, an increased production of synthesis gas is required, the annular gap can be increased by retracting the two tubes 2 and 3, and the substance throughput can be increased within wide limits. This flexible adaptation to operating requirements is important, especially for a combined method of coal gasification for operating a power-station, since the respective gas requirements of the power-station can be covered without interrupting the gas production. The existing requirements of continuous operation can thus be taken into account at all times with the aid of the apparatus according to the invention.
A further advantage of the process and apparatus according to the invention is that a coal gasification plant can be started up. During this start-up, the initially cold brickwork of the reactor is heated to temperatures of 1000 to 1500° C. and the coal gasification, i.e. the conversion of coal with water to form synthesis gas, is then carried out. Only when the brickwork has become suitably hot can the endothermic synthesis gas production be carried out.
In order to heat up the brickwork, instead of the coal-water suspension, for example light oil gasoline or hydrogen is reacted with oxygen. The heat thus produced heats up the reactor brickwork and the process according to the invention is then implemented to gasify, for example, a coal-water suspension.
Hitherto it was necessary to heat up the brickwork by means of a special burner in a separate step, and then dismantle this burner as soon as the necessary temperature of the brickwork was reached. This complicated procedure is avoided in the present case. The hitherto normal replacement of the burner, i.e. exchanging the burner required for starting up the plant by the burner required for the gasification of the coal-water mixtures, is avoided. Thus, in addition to a saving in time, there is a financial advantage resulting from the saving in dismantling and conversion work.

Jurassic Rage: Evolution II ZIP (Manual Install)Dec 31, 2006 Full Version 0 comments
MD5: 5cf56473a906e5a2e480ec7a6311cadb This file is meant for Mac, Linux or dedicated servers. Everyone else should download the EXE installer instead:
In 1993, a team of British scientists discovered a way of genetically incubating a dinosaur. Using a technique which involved extracting genetic material from viruses that had been around since the Jurassic Era, scientists found that they could create and breed dinosaurs. Once the scientists had proven their theory, they were quickly funded by a private organization called DinoTech. DinoTech was purely interested in the scientific benefits of the project, never planning on marketing the dinosaurs, nor did they ever contemplate creating a theme park. DinoTech decided that the best way to study dinosaurs was to let them roam in a natural environment, thus DinoTech constructed a base on a small Island of the coast of New Zealand called Malculey Island.
In 1997, construction was completed and new personnel began to arrive on the island. The founding scientists of the project had gone from a small team with great ideas, to an organization with even greater ideas. The island contained many facilities built for the scientists to study the dinosaurs. These buildings were isolated from the rest of the island by towering electric fences. The island was the most modern design of man to date, incorporating the most recent technology known. High-powered electric facilities, radar sensors, and life support systems were only a fraction of the islands capabilities.
By 2001, the scientists had created most dinosaurs known to man and began to not only watch and observe them, but also test them.
This afternoon, raptor broke out of a top security medical lab and escaped into jungle, killing several employees on his way. A few hours later, a majority of the velociraptors, roaming the island, started to behave in a demented fashion. Scientists suspect sabotage and food poisoning. They blamed worker incompetence, and low-level security. Security personnel accuses scientists of ressurecting a prehistoric virus. The sun has set, and all communication has gone offline...
Jurassic Rage is an episodic, team-based, dinosaur infested modification for Unreal Tournament 2004. We are undertaking the challenge to incorporate fun gameplay with a realistic world and an evolving storyline into one well-tested and balanced package released every 30 days. Every month a new version will be released, each one with as many new features as possible, exposing new story plots and allowing you to experience them ingame.
Fun and gameplay are top priority in JR:Evolution, therefore if some element isn't fun enough, we'll keep working on it until it will be good enough. Your feedback is invaluable to us and we will consider any and all ideas you post.
Jurassic Rage merges single-player and multiplayer. We have multiplayer gametypes that can be played like missions in a single player game, except that you can play them on any map that supports it, not just one. They are entrenched in the Jurassic Rage storyline, can be played both offline and online with, versus or without bots and real players. Evolution I contains the first "mission", next evolutions will contain more. Eventually you will be able to play the gametypes just like missions in a single player campaign, advancing from one to another.
Q: When will Jurassic Rage be released?
A: Every 30 days. Next release is on 20th December 2006.
Q: What kind of dinosaurs will there be?
A: We have plenty of dinosaurs modeled, though not all will make it into the final cut. Naturally you'll be hunted by several species of Raptor and stomped underfoot of Tyrannosaurus, and this will be accompanied by a diverse and interesting set of creatures to contend with.
Q: Can we play as dinosaurs?
A: Currently we have no plans to let players play as dinosaurs.
Q: What about the maps? What types will there be?
A: We hope to have several styles of maps, although the primary focus is on creating a vibrant and realistic jungle, teeming with life. In addition to this, we intend to have other designs such as gloomy internal areas, waterlogged caves or dusty coastal villages.
Q: And the weapons?
A: There'll be the usual assortment of handguns, sub-machine guns and automatic rifles. Jurassic Rage is set in the near future, so don't expect any pulse-blasters and light-shows!
Q: Why are there futuristic weapons in Jurassic Rage: Evolution I?
A: We decided that first evolution of Jurassic Rage will contain an fast-paced "arcade" version of the gametype, using Unreal Tournament 2004 weapons. The realistic weapons are about 80% ready, we're working hard on making them both realistic and fun to shoot. Future gametypes will be based on realistic weapons. Expect them in Jurassic Rage: Evolution II, coming out on 20th December 2006.
Q: When can we expect more content?
A: With every release. We have lots and lots of weapons, vehicles and dinosaurs nearing completion.
You can find a plethora of Jurassic Rage inspired fiction over at the writers' lounge in our forums

We figured that since we've been kinda quiet lately, why not show off some of what is being accomplished for Evolution III. First thing you'll notice in this screenshot is we've really been kicking a load of custom vegetation, 88 models so far. This screenshot is also from a custom map that Switch is working on (when he's not programming) to suit our needs for Evo III's new features. What are these new features, well, you'll just have to wait and see.

when we're done working on it :)
I dont' know when it'll be back up, I think we got hit hard with spam bots, we're trying to get the site back online, and then we'll impliment some features to help eliminate spam. (like getting all the worthless bastards that set them up a job so they have something useful to do with their spare time)
oh sorry i forgot to ask when the site will work again?
we're working on it.
more dinos in evo 3 we don't wan't to rush guys you know,and i have a problem with the site it sais: Bandwidth Limit Exceeded
The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to the site owner reaching his/her bandwidth limit. Please try again later.
Apache/1.3.37 Server at www.jurassic-rage.com Port 80
whats rong??
In Evolution II we have a Spas 12, MP5 and MK24. And more dinosaurs will be available in Evo 3
So, none of the new weapons,maps or different dinos besided raptors have been added yet until newer versions?
what do you think of it??
no wait, its working now, installed it with the .exe instead of .zip
Thanks guys :) , I will wait untill the new version out then to download!!
Thankyou EvilSmiley, armanguy .
This new version (evo 2), due out VERY 'soon' (hehe) is WELL worth the download, it's only 25mb and shouldn't take too long to download. It's extremely fun, and I have lost several hours playing it. Even my younger brother spent a few hours playing it when he came over the one day, and he's only a casual gamer. The new features are truely addicting.
As for playing online, you can play online with other people, although servers are sparse as most people set themselves up as listen servers, the game is very fun alone or with your friends! (more so with friends).
This version will use UT maps, although a few of the better ones are picked out from the rest as the gameplay is much more fun on maps of a specific size. Look for some custom maps in future releases (some good ones too hint hint).

Woods shot a 5-under-par 66 in the third round at Conway Farms Golf Club, but the two-shot penalty he received for an incident that occurred on the first hole Friday may ultimately prove large. He trails tournament leader Jim Furyk by four ...

Alec Ross, senior advisor for innovation to the Secretary of State, officially vacated his post March 12, according to an announcement on his Facebook page.
Ross will be go back to work in the private sector as an "advisor to investors, corporations, institutions and government leaders," according to his letter of resignation, which he posted on Facebook.
"I also plan to dig deep in areas of emerging opportunity in the innovation space," Ross said in the letter. "There are products that only live today in peoples' imaginations that will help us live happier, healthier, more productive lives while unleashing the next stage of value creation and economic growth. I will be spending a lot of time engaged with the thinkers and entrepreneurs imagining and inventing the future."
Ross joined the State Department in 2009 after serving a key role in President Barack Obama's campaign, spearheading the agency's "21st Century Statecraft" initiative and leading Civil Society 2.0,a grass-roots program that helps organizations all over the world harness the Internet to promote good government.
Ross, who began his career educating low-income students for Teach for America, helped foster a culture of eDiplomacy at the State Department, where every embassy now has a social media account and dignitaries reach out to the masses via tweets.

As far as my understanding goes, nothing similar has happened to Egypt like what it is currently witnessing. No other country has passed through this complicated phase we are living. There is this tampering with the state's constituents and a crazy surge towards tearing apart the country's fabric.
I do not think it has happened before that rulers let their country's situation reach this phase while they carelessly observed and are only concerned with being the sole leaders. What is certain is that rulers' chairs are comfortable. The ruling palaces are wider. Their jets cannot be compared with three-wheeled rickshaws seen on the streets. But what kind of enjoyment is this when the state is collapsing?
Egypt's ruling party only possesses an image of the state they want, and it is not a problem if the price is the collapse of the state which they are suffocating. This is what Emperor Nero did when he burnt Rome.
In 64 AD Nero had the idea of rebuilding Rome. Fire started at the Circus Maximus and vigorously spread for a week across Rome. The fire destroyed ten of the entire fourteen districts. As the fire spread and people screamed as they burnt, Nero sat in a high tower enjoying the scene of the fire (...)
Initial fears
What I say may seem over-pessimistic. But I see it as a realistic fear that could lead to tragic results.
The first of these initial fears is the complete disregard for any other power in society whether it is religious, political or ethnic. There are also their actions based on the logic that they are the country and their voice is that of the entire people and there is no voice beside it. They began to make statements regarding how they came into power. So they began to market the idea that they rule because voting was in their favor although they are the first of those who know how the results of these elections were and are controlled.
They know better about their own means. It is a snatched legitimacy on the truth's body nurtured by lies and elimination of others. The weakness that struck the opposing parties supports and nurtures this snatched legitimacy. But they are careless about the static force that they mistakenly think is under their control. (...)
Harming the concept of the state and pushing towards reaching a state of chaos is one of the features of the behavior of today's rulers. This is displayed in that devilish desire to push for causing a general confrontation between the people and the police. (...)

Our study examines whether there are systematic differences in standard leverage determinants for a sample of Japanese multinational (MNCs) and domestic corporations (DCs). We find that on a univariate basis Japanese MNCs differ significantly on most variables relative to Japanese DCs. These variables include leverage, age, collateral value of assets, free cash flows, foreign exchange risks, growth, non-debt tax shields, political risks, profitability and size. Business risks are not found to be significantly different between the two groups of organizations. When modeling capital structure and the determinants of capital structure we find that Japanese multinationals have significantly less leverage than Japanese DCs, and that multinationality is an important aspect of leverage for Japanese firms. We find that business risks are not significant for modeling capital structure of domestic firms but they are for multinationals and foreign exchange risks are not significant for multinationals but are significant for domestic firms. Business risks are negatively related to leverage for multinationals and we document that significant positive leverage effects of foreign exchange risks and size are subsumed by the negative effect of business risks to explain the lower leverage experienced by Japanese multinationals relative to Japanese DCs. The lack of significance of foreign exchange risks for DCs can be explained by economies of scale in risk management, such as derivatives. Domestic firms seem to manage increased foreign exchange risks through lower leverage rather than derivative use. On the other hand, the larger multinationals can take advantage of economies of scale in risk management. Consequently, foreign exchange risks of multinationals can be managed through derivatives and other risk management operations and not reduced leverage.

VIEWS: 4 PAGES: 2 POSTED ON: 8/9/2011 Public Domain
Movie Night Fall 2010 Philosophy 100 Danielson The Joneses Here are several questions to keep in mind while watching the film. These can be used for discussion the night of the film, or to answer for those who watch on their own. If you are writing answers because you did not attend the film, or because you are writing for more extra credit, please answer one or more of the questions (but no more than 4) with a two-page response. You have until the date of the next film to submit your responses. 1. The Joneses is a film which critiques consumer culture. The "family" is seen by the outsiders as just another family. Instead they are actually advertisers engaged in "under the radar" marketing. While this may seem outlandish, it is in fact already occurring. What kinds of defenses can we develop to combat these attempts to sell us products? 2. How realistic is this sort of manipulation? Can you imagine that there is a company willing to go to these lengths to market products? Why or why not? 3. The title most likely comes from the phrase "keeping up with the Joneses." The writers of the film seem to use the title for ironic impact. But within the world of the movie, is it even more cynical that the company in charge chooses to use the name? Does this make the writers' job easier or harder to sell their point? (The observant viewer can see it as a hook, but it may lead to a less sympathetic assessment overall.) 4. The choice of the actors is another level of depth in the power of the film. Why is the choice of Demi Moore and David Duchovny as the lead characters an interesting choice? (Consider their ages. Consider the fact that Ms. Moore has under gone plastic surgery to maintain her youthful appearance.) 5. The boss of the Joneses is played by Lauren Hutton who is a former model. She was the "it" girl back in the day. In the film she is shown to have aged; in fact there is little attempt to portray her in a softer light. Why do you think that the film makers chose to present her this way? 6. There is an attempt to make the characters experience some kind of epiphany about what they are doing. Is this believable? Why should the people who have chosen to engage in a deep lie suddenly awaken to their behavior? 7. What is the purpose in choosing to have one of the "children", Mick, presented as gay? Is it merely a liberal Hollywood wanting to push its agenda or is something else at work? Is "Mr. Joneses's" response, at the end of the film, to the "Mick" who says he can finally no longer live a lie, used to merely point out the hypocrisy of the entire marketing strategy, or is it also a comment about how we are still unwilling to accept someone's being homosexual? Or both? Why do you think this? 8. Mick is assaulted because he is gay when comes on to a straight friend. Compare this to what has been happening in our country the last few months. There have been at least 13 suicides by young homosexual teens that seem to have been instigated by various forms of bullying. (One case involved an invasion of privacy by two Rutgers students spying on a third, Tyler Clementi, while he was having sex. They uploaded streaming video taken from a hidden camera in Tyler's room. Tyler later jumped of the George Washington Bridge to his death.) There was also the brutal assault of a man and two boys in New York by at least 9 men on October 3rd. Is there an upswing in violence against Gay, Lesbian and transgender people? 9. Is the development of the two main characters' "relationship" believable? Is it possible that these two people who are engaged in such deceitful behavior could actually transcend their situation and create a true love relationship? Or would their willing cooperation in the "lie" preclude, or at least limit their ability to actually create an authentic attachment? 10. Does the ending signify a real possibility or is it required because the audience is primarily American? Why would the film makers need to have the two protagonists drive off into their new lives for a "happy ending?" Does it leave the viewers with a less convincing outcome? 11. The neighbors in the community the Joneses were living in respond to the suicide with anger, and shock. Are they in anyway culpable for the death? Are they complicit in pursing the ideals of the materialistic life that lead to their neighbor's death? What about the wife? She is certainly harmed by her husband's death and yet she was all along wanting the life of the Joneses. How should we feel about her grief? 12. In what ways is the film a morality tale? 13. How is this film an extension of the ideas from "The Truman Show"? Is this merely an updated story 10 years later? What are the significant differences between how the role of the media and the consumer culture portrayed in the two films? 14. Once again, as with "The Truman Show", we are shown a distinction between illusion and reality. Which film is more effective in making the distinction clear? Which is more subtle and perhaps more compelling as to the difficulty in ascertaining which is which? Why? 15. If the "family" had been less stereotypically attractive would the neighbors been as easily duped? What does this mean with regard to how advertisers play on our biases when choosing models for us to emulate? 16. In what ways do we shift the way we present ourselves, depending on the context, to pursue our goals or desires? Is there an ethical way to shift our personality contextually? Is there anything "wrong" with shifting, or should we strive to maintain a consistent "self?" Why? 17. What would Descartes and Hume say about the selfhood of the Joneses? Is there a core to these people or are they merely the surface presentations they offer to others?

Ok, I'm not trying to start a discussion on Camelcase vs Underscore here, it doesn't matter what you pick, just stick to your choice.
Rather, what I would like peoples opinion on, is how strict and committed you should be in your choice when importing third party libraries.
Especially in PHP there is a HUGE variety of coding styles, to the point where it's just damn near impossible to maintain one specific style throughout your codebase when you use third party libraries.
So what do you guys do? Modify those libraries to suit your conventions, write some sort of interpreting layer so that when you use those libraries the usage of them still follows your conventions? Do you just say "to hell with it" and mix it all together? Or is there some other ingenious solution that I haven't thought of (apart from simply not using libraries that don't follow your convention)?
In essence what I'm asking is; how do you manage to maintain a clean and consistent coding style when using third party libraries? Can it be done?
