Definition Essay Examples
Crafting an essay on the topic of "Definition Essay Examples" can prove to be both challenging
and intellectually stimulating. The difficulty lies not only in conveying a clear understanding of
the chosen concept but also in presenting it in a manner that captivates the reader's attention.
Defining an abstract idea involves delving into its various facets, exploring its nuances, and
articulating these complexities in a coherent and engaging manner.
One hurdle you may encounter is striking the right balance between providing a comprehensive
definition and avoiding excessive verbosity. It's crucial to find the sweet spot where you
elucidate the concept adequately without overwhelming your audience with unnecessary details.
Additionally, selecting relevant examples that not only illustrate the definition but also resonate
with your readers can be a daunting task.
Moreover, grappling with the challenge of ensuring your essay remains focused and coherent can
be daunting. The risk of veering off-topic or becoming too broad is ever-present, requiring a
careful and deliberate approach to organization and structure. Crafting a compelling introduction
that hooks the reader, a body that seamlessly develops the concept, and a conclusion that leaves
a lasting impression is an intricate art.
Furthermore, the research process can be time-consuming. Ensuring that you draw upon
authoritative sources to reinforce your definitions and examples adds an additional layer of
complexity. Striking the right balance between academic rigor and accessibility for a general
audience is a juggling act that demands careful consideration.
Despite the inherent difficulties, the reward lies in the opportunity to deepen your understanding
of the chosen concept and, in turn, share that knowledge with your readers. It is an exercise that
not only hones your writing skills but also challenges your analytical and critical thinking abilities.
For those seeking assistance, it's worth noting that similar essays and a plethora of academic
writing services can be found online. Platforms like HelpWriting.net provide a range of

Animal Ethics And Animal Farming
Not only does killing and torturing animals for the consumption of their meat and
products harm the animal but it harms humans and our planet as well. It is
common to find people who are omnivores in our country and rare to find a vegan.
The vegan lifestyle is the only way that we can save this planet. Usually, if you are
eating dinner and someone mentions the animal that you are eating, when it was
living, another person at the table freaks out because they do not want to think of
that. We disassociate ourselves with the actual living animal that has suffered
huge amounts on our plates because we see ourselves as animal lovers who are
against inhumane torture and killing of animals. You can not classify yourself as
an animal lover if you consume an animal or their product because you are still
supporting their demise. Why? Because the taste pleases us. That is all. We are
disgusted by people who torture and hurt animals for pleasure. For example, people
disassociate themselves from the Philadelphia Eagles NFL team due to the actions
of the player Michael Vick. Vick ran a dog fighting ring and bet on dogs to kill one
another. Why? For no other reason than the fact that it pleased him. We say that we
are animal lovers and agree that animals have at least some moral value but how does
this make killing and torturing animals for our consumption okay? Animal agriculture
and factory farming are huge industries that are sort of swept under the rug by
omnivores. These
Aquinas Cosmological Argument
Aquinas was a Catholic priest who tried to prove the existence of God using his five
cosmological arguments. I disagree with the validity of these arguments. The
arguments presented by Aquinas are questionable and most certainly do not prove the
existence of the Christian God. Aquinas states that God s existencecan be proved in
five ways. The first way he tries to prove God is proof by motion. He states that
motion is a reduction of something from potentiality to actuality. It is impossible for
something to be in potentiality and actuality at the same time. It is obvious that some
things in the world are in motion. Whatever is moved is moved by something else,
because nothing can be put into actuality without being first in potentiality, and
something in potentiality can only be put into... Show more content on

The arguments combined prove a being which is a prime mover, first cause,
necessary being, root of all perfection, and intelligent being. The arguments,
however, do not prove the Christian God as described by the Bible. First, the
arguments do not prove that there is only one god. There could be several gods
and Aquinas arguments do nothing to prove otherwise. Furthermore, a god could
have all of these attributes yet never have done anything that was described in the
Bible. For example, I can envision a god with all of these attributes who enjoys to
eat cheese. I could even write a book about such a god and the different types of
cheese he eats. And, based on Aquinas arguments, as my god has all the qualities
described by Aquinas, my god is equally as likely to exist as the Christian God.
There are infinitely many gods that can be envisioned which all have the attributes
described by Aquinas. Therefore, there is no way of proving, even if Aquinas
arguments are true, that the Christian God described by the Bible
Penelope And Sita In Homer s The Ramayana And The
Odyssey...
Penelope and Sita do not fight frightening monsters; they do not attract the anger of
the gods; they do not journey to the struggle of Hades to be reunited like Odysseus
or they do not go to an exile like Rama did with Viswamitra to master skills.
However, they are heroes to me because of their sincerity, loyalty, purity, and respect
toward their beloved husband and the people. When comparing these two novels, The
Ramayanaby R. K. Narayan to The Odysseyby Homer, Sita s represents the epitome
of by her Indian culture that has alike values with the Ancient Greek culture
concerning faith and family ties. Even though women weren t treated equally to the
men during that time, it s interesting to see how these two characters place their trust
toward their husband to keep their family happy and they are the hidden heroes of
those stories.
Sita is a hidden hero because she shows respect, pure, sincere, and loyalty to her
beloved husband even when she was tortured. Sita, Rama s wife, is the rebirth of the
goddess Lakshmi. She s a young beautiful woman, who is in love with Rama. Sita
accompanies Rama into the forest on his quest and was nabbed by Ravana. When
Ravana abducted her, he imposed her to marry him. She was very loyal to her
husband and refused Ravana. In the novel Ramayana, it states that Sita accepts the
torture of Ravana and Demon Rakshasa, but still doesn t accept Ravana as her
husband. Sita dismisses Ravana s advances, guard. Even when Rama started losing
faith in
California Gold Rush
In 1849, millions of people rushed to California. These people came for the Gold
Rush, which was a historical event that will be remembered forever. These people
were called 49ers. Some traveled by boat, and then walked across the Panama. Then
they took another boat to C.A. Others took a boat around the Cape Horn to C.A. or
went on station wagon.
People from all over the world came to C.A. in search for gold. People traveled by
land and sea. Traveling in a station wagon wasn t that bad, and the people took
resources from the C.A. Indian tribes that had died from the plague.(Wonders pg.
140 and Gold Rush Guy). Miners usually spent hours looking for gold and found
nothing. Today, a small piece of gold could be worth 8$. Mining was hard, boring,
and dangerous. (Our C.A. pg. 78 and Gold Rush Guy). There were many different
ways to find gold. One way, was to pan in a river. Another way, was to use a rocker.
There were two different types of pans. (Ms. Hammill and Gold Rush Guy). In

North Korea is a Southeast Asian country that is on the Korean Peninsula.
Pyongyang is the capital and also the largest city in North Korea as well. North

years until after WWII it was taken over by the Allies and split by the 38th Parallel.
The United States controlled the bottom half of the 38th Parallel which is now
South Korea while the Soviet Union controlled the Northern part also known as
North Korea. The goal was between the U.S. and U.S.S.R was to created a unified

This means that everything that creates the economy there is run by one group of

one of the top factory made stuff in the world today. Anyway, North Korea is very
strict on their economy for certain reasons. One is the don t want any uprisings to
happen that can throw off the leaders of the country and switch the power. North
Korea also tries to make their economy very secretive even though there economy
was left in the dust by their evil step brother in the South by the mid 1970s. Like

Role Of Monsters In Jewish Literature
Monsters in Job and Jewish Children s Literature Monsters have a long history in
Jewish literature, traceable from biblical text all the way to modern day publications.
Although the context in which biblical literature and Children s literature is written
is vastly different, both attempt to achieve similar goals with their respective
audiences. The stories in Job and the stories mentioned in Jody Eichler Levine s
lecture share an emphasis on wisdom and the acquisition of knowledge. In this
pursuit, both the Bibleand the selected works of Jewish children s literature we
discussed use monsters to serve physical embodiments of the unknown, obstacles that

Religious authorities would argue that those who take the time to read and
understand the Bible are able to have a greater understanding of the world around
them. Often, this knowledge can be an empowering tool that reduces the number of
unknown, and thus feared, aspects of life and faith. In children s literature monsters
teach lessons about the importance of knowledge and how knowledge can be the
ultimate tool to overcome uncertainty and grow into devoted and less fearful adults.
I thoroughly enjoyed Jodi Eichler Levine s lecture, as it was a topic I had never
considered previously. And although at first it seemed there were no obvious ties
between the characters discussed in her lectures and the characters that appear in
Job, it was interesting to consider more abstractly how these two types of text could

Rhetorical Analysis Of Jane Addams Speech
The rhetorical devices found in the speech that Jane Addams wrote are hypophora,
metaphor, conduplicatio, enumeratio, and personification. Each of these devices has
a purpose in the passage, with the author combining all of the devices to strengthen
her essay. The most frequent rhetorical device in the passage is Hypophora, which is
when the author asks and answers a question. The author first mentioned hypophora
at the beginning of the passage to ask what makes a great man. She later shifts
toward an example of a great man, George Washington. The author then asks what
makes George Washington a great man, while also asking how he would handle
today s conflicts. The author chooses to use hypophora to emphasize what the
United States is missing in today s society. She uses George Washington s life as a
soldier, statesman, and a Virginia planter to show what parts of his personality are
missing in today s society. Addams asks questions such as What is it that we admire
about the soldier? (Addams 1) What was it he did, during those days when they were
framing a constitution, when they were meeting together night after night, and trying
to adjust the rights and privileges of every class in the community (Addams 1)
Would he not have foreboded evil if he had know that among us were groups and
hordes of professional politicians... not using our forsight and our conscience in order
to find out this great wrong which was snapping the foundations of self
government.(Addams 2) The
The Contingency Theory Of Leadership
Introduction
The term leadership can be significantly defined as expressed as the overall process
through which a respective individual influences and provides the right kind of
support to others for the purpose of accomplishing a common objective, goal or task.
The leadership theories can be said to the significant assumptions that significantly
help in distinguishing the overall characteristics of any respective leader (Timpe,
2007). The leadership theories extensively focus on various specific qualities of a
leader which includes knowledge and levels and skills that separates the respective
leader from his or her followers. There exists various kinds of leadership theories but
amongst them great man theory, trait theory, situational leadership theory,, behavioral
leadership theory, contingency leadership theory, transformational leadership theory
and transactional leadership theory are considered to be the most significant. The
following essay has identified a significant leadership theory that can prove to be

The contingency theory of leadership is seen to significant fail in providing proper
and appropriate explanation regarding the overall reasons for the effectiveness of
leadership in different types of situations or circumstances. From the contingency
leadership theory it is extensively hard to evaluate how a respective individual can
significantly reflect upon his or her own style of leadership. The contingency
leadership theory is not considered to be a process of development of leadership. It
has been observed that the contingency leadership theory fails to blend with a
leader s career growth. If the respective leader fails to change or adapt his respective
style, the respective leader fails to be productive at higher organizational levels

Capital Markets And Strategic Issues Essay
Capital Markets and Strategic Issues in Fund Raising A Answer Role of VCs in
the company VC is a type of private equity also a financing provided by firms to
nascent stage, emerging firms that are promising, show high growth potential (in
terms of number of employees, annual revenue, or both). VC firms invest in these
mentioned companies in exchange of ownership stake. VCs take on the risk of
financing risky start ups thinking that some of the firms will be successful who they
pursue. Start ups are usually based on an innovative technology/business model and
they are usually from the high technology industries, such as information technology
(IT), social media or biotechnology. In exchange for high risk that venture
capitalists assume by investing in smaller/startup companies, VCs usually get
significant control over company s management decisions, with companies
ownership and value. Obtaining VC is different from raising a loan. Lenders have
a legal right to interest payment of the principal irrespective of the business success
/failure. VC is invested for an equity stake in the business. The return of the VC as a
shareholder depends on business growth /profit. Return is earned when the venture
capitalist exits . VCs are selective in deciding where to invest in; as a result, firms
are looking for the extremely rare yet sought after qualities such as innovative
technology, potential for rapid growth, a well developed business model and an
impressive management team. Of

Live or Die
Hospital and clinic are two types of health care system that are undeniably different
from each other. However, both institutes, differ due to the differences in their nature.
Clinic is health center consulting private room beginning with a physician. A hospital
is place where the sick and injured are taken for treatment. The doctors and nurses are
readily available there for attending on their patients. They are employed by the
hospitals to nurse the sick back to health.
Both hospital and clinical have big differences between each, some examples include:
Size clinicals are smaller than hospitals and hospitals are larger than clinicals and,
Staffs clinicals are always runned by few practitioners and hospital has many doctors,
nurses and other medical techs. However, clinical mainly treats outpatients and, are
not open twenty four hour a day. Whereas hospitals treats both inpatients and
outpatients with open service of twenty four hour a day. Clinicals are not provided
with more departments whereas hospitals concludes of different departments with
different treatments.Deaths take place in the hospitals. On the other hand, deaths do
not take place in the clinics. Even if a patient comes in a serious condition, the doctor
at the clinic quickly transfers him to the nearby hospital (Difference between). Clinics
normally do not have emergency kits. On the other hand, all hospitals have
emergency kits
Taking a Look at DNA Supercoiling
DNA supercoiling is the over winding or under winding of a DNA strand. In general,
most organisms DNA is negatively supercoiled. There are two types of supercoiling:
positive and negative. Positive supercoiling means that the DNA strands are twisted
in the right direction; whereas negative supercoiling means that the DNAstrands are
twisted in the left direction. The laws of Physics govern everything that happens in
the world, including DNA coiling in living beings. Some of the concepts in Physics
that are involved in DNA coiling are quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics.
Quantum physics is a branch of physics that explores certain units of energy, which
are called quanta. These units of energy are described by the Quantum Theory. The
dictionary definition of the Quantum Theory is: Any theory predating quantum
mechanics that encompassed Planck s radiation formula and a scheme for obtaining
discrete energy states for atoms, as Bohr theory. This definition means that Quantum
Theory deals with Planck s radiation formula, Bohr theory and indivisible units of
energy. A great deal of research has been conducted in the field of quantum mechanics
and its connection with DNA supercoiling. Some Physicists have formed a theory,
which states that quantum entanglement holds DNA molecules together and prevents
the DNA from falling apart. Quantum entanglement is the relationship between any
objects that deal with quantum mechanics. A Physicist named Elisabeth Rieper, from

Decarbonize Urban Areas
If we are going to decarbonise our cities and regions, we need to promote high
density urban development. Increasing density reduces the size of houses and overall
its consumption of resources (Rauland and Newman 2011). The authors further
contend, therefore that increasing density has numerous other benefits, including
enabling better public transport infrastructure such as light rail and trains as well as
increasing the walkability of cities, all of which will significantly reduce transport
emissions ( Rauland and Newman p. 6. 2011). Adding density to transform cities can
also improve quality of life by offering more local amenities and better lifestyles (
Rauland and Newman 2011). The Cockburn Town Centre development is perfect
example.
The Harsh Reality of Keeping Away From Radioactivity
Radioactivity is a looming threat that many people do not seem to know about.
Ever since the Fukushima disaster in Japan, the internet has been swarming with
reports about how the radiation can reach the West Coast and harm Californians.
This has been confirmed by experts; radioactivity was expected to show up in April
and has already been found in kelp along the sea. Radioactivity is a serious threat
to humans, and people should be more aware of the risks related to it, especially
now, when there are signs of radioactivity in the West Coast. The main argument
that people use to keep themselves from accepting the harsh reality of radioactive
poisoning is that since there have been no radioactive leaks in the United States
recently, we are not at risk. This also is untrue; back in April, there was a
radioactive leak in New Mexico. So far, doses of radiation to the surrounding
population are low, but even those low levels of radioactivity can have harmful
effects on the body in the long term. So what are these harmful effects? To answer
this question, we need to understand how radioactive isotopes decay. There are
many different elements, and each has its own radioactive isotopes. For example,
one of the common plutonium isotopes produced by man is plutonium 239. When
this radioactive isotope decays, it produces energy. This energy is radioactivity.
When the isotope decays, it produces alpha, beta, and gamma particles. These
particles are also a part of a general class of
How Did The National Assembly Contribute To The

The national assembly declared it would not break up until a new constitution was in
place for France. The declaration of the rights of man and of citizen was approved by
the national assembly of France on August 29, 1789 and drafted by Marquis de
Lafayette. The constitution contributed to the feeling of nationalism by creating a
constitution that made everyone equal. This was a constitution that the majority of
the population fought for. That was the first step toward writing a constitution for
France.
They achieved the new constitution in 1791. The new constitution declared France to
be a constitutional monarchy; with the King representing the state but with the power
going to the National Assembly and the citizens overall. The national assembly set
out to represent the people. This constitution lasted over a year. In a constitutional

government. The legislative assembly had so much power the king was virtually a
symbol, nothing more. The legislative assembly passed laws and could prevent the
king from entering any war. In fear, the king tried to escape to Austria where he
would organize an army and take back his country. The king was discovered and was
put in house arrest. Resembling everything in the French revolution, the legislative
assembly failed. Austria and Prussia wanted the legislative assembly to put King
Louis XVI back in the throne and so france declared war on Austria. Prussia joined

Essay about Leonardo Da Vinci
Leonardo Da Vinci
Leonardo DA Vinci (1452 1519), Florentine artist, one of the great masters of high
Renaissance, celebrated as a painter, sculptor, architect, engineer, and scientist. His
profound love of knowledge and research was the keynote of both his scientific and
artistic endeavors. His innovations in the field of painting influenced the course of
Italian art for more than a century after his death, and his scientific studies,
particularly in the fields of anatomy, optics, and hydraulics. He anticipated many of
the developments of modern science.

Modern interpreters have excentially analyzed the truly classical qualities of this
style which combine, like Greek art of the fifth and fourth centuries BC, a spiritual
and formal dignity, harmony and equipoise never before or after equaled in the
history of post classical art. It is easier to describe this phenomenon than to
explained it. But while older writers regarded it mainly and too simply as a revival of
the pagan art of antiquity, more recent studies have begun to throw light on the
complexities of the style by investigating the intentions of its creators.
In this essay I am going to focus on some aspects of LeonardoВґs life in order to

This was the period in history known as the Renaissance, when after hundreds of

Europe had abandoned the dark ages and the feudal system was left behind. New

For these changes was why the beautiful Florence City was full of artists and

Decision Making Process Of An Organization
Heuristics that can assist the decision maker in speeding up the decision making
process There are various heuristics or methods that can speed up the decision
making process of an organizations or the decision maker for the company in a
given framework. When the organization is working under the global market, the
methods to speed up the decision making process is extremely important for the
decision makers of the organizations. Defining the problems There can be two or
more problems in an organization when it is working under the influence of global
market. It is the responsibility of the decision makers to define the problems to the
employees and let them the root cause of any problem or issue that has arisen in
the organization. In this way, the company will be able to take charge of the
situations well help the employees to make them understand where the problem
lies in the organization. The more properly the organization will be able to make
the employees understand the problem the more quick the decision will be made
in the organization. It is up to the senior managers to find a solution of the problem
as well as make the employees come p with solutions regarding the problem (33rd
Annual Meeting of the Society of Medical Decision Making: 2011 Abstracts, 2012).
In this way, the company will have multiple options to solve a certain issue and
decide quickly regarding that can be done to solve a certain issue. Determining the

Gardner Distributing Company SWOT Analysis
Gardner Distributing Company purchases, sells, and distributes Iams premium pet
food products (68 percent of sales), pet supplies (14 percent of sales), and lawn and
garden supplies (18 percent of sales). The management team has developed a
purpose, mission, and objectives; but the strategies of the firm are not clear.
Defining the firm s strategies will require an understanding of the business and the
two industries in which the firm operates. It will also require a synthesis of the
manager s dialogue on the strategic options of the business. To find out how a strong
strategic plan for this company will look like let s do the SWOT analysis and illustrate
all the sides of the business. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
It looks like saving money for the customers, but it brings great profit for the
company. Instead of supplying only large retail stores like PETsMART and
PETCO, they now allowed its distributors to sell Iams s products to small rural and
upscale grocery stores. This allows Gardner to operate in the areas where Iams s
product was not available before. According to some estimation, Gardner can now
open up to 60 grocery stores in 6 months.
Another possible opportunity for Gardner is acquiring more territory and acquisition
of its competitors. Gardner s managers feel that the location of Gardner allows it to
easily come to other markets like Seattle, Salt lake City, Portland and others.
Acquisitions will allow rapid growth in a short time period. However, there may also
be synergies in distribution, information systems, and management.
Threats
The major threat for Gardner is coming from large retailer like PETsMART and
PETCO. These companies are aggressively acquiring competitors and open new
stores. Iams sells its products directly to these companies, which can reduce Gardner
s gross profit percentage.
Another potential threat is in the company s financials. According to financial data,
Gardner has a lot of receivables because of rather long age. This brings up a possible
problem of low liquidity. Apparently, Gardner has very small cash flow compared to
total income. As one of the mangers pointed out, cash flow is more important than net
Smog Of Chin Pollution
ENG 215
Quinton Wu
Third draft
Smog in China China is the second largest producer of greenhouse gas, acid rain
and other pollutants in the world. That means China has lots of environmental
problems, and air pollution always is one of the most serious issue in China. In the
world, nobody can live without air. However, the quality of air comes down every
year. Smog is one of forms of air pollution produced by the reaction of sunlight with
hydrocarbons, nitrogen compounds, and other gases primarily released in automobile
exhaust. Smog is common in large urban areas, especially during hot, sunny weather,
where it appears as a brownish haze that can irritate the eyes and lungs (Science
Daily). In 2015, the smog becomes the most serious ... Show more content on

In the research by the Statista, it gives a graph to show passenger and commercial
vehicle sales in China from 2008 to October 2015. About three million commercial
vehicles and sixteen million passenger vehicles had been sold in China (Statista,
2015). According to the research, Beijing has over six million on its road. The
huge number of vehicles also stand for the release of plenty of automobile exhaust
in China. The automobile exhaust makes the smog problem be more serious.
Because of the urbanization, the green belts are reducing. Most of cities prefer to
build more buildings in the center of the cities. Everyone know plants are the
important roles to absorb dirty air and release fresh air. However, the urbanization
breaks this cycle. In addition, the air has its own self purification capacity, which
is an ability to clean itself. However, the progress of self purification capacity is
slow because of the rapid development of cities. The air does not have enough time
to clean itself and the ability become weaker. The reduction of plants and the
increase of automobile exhaust make the smog problem become the most serious
problem in China. Industry is another main reason to make the smog problem
serious. We all know China is one of major industrial countries. We can find lots of
products that have a mark, Made in China. The factories release industrial waste gas,
which includes many different
Sexism And The White Male Gaze Analysis
The theme for this art exhibit will be Racism, Sexism, and the White Male Gaze.
The main philosopher focused on within this exhibit will be Michael Philips, with
credit to his work Racist Acts and Racist Humor. Philips s concept of Basic Racist
Acts, acts that either are done with the intention of hurting a member of an ethnic
group or can be expected to hurt a member of an ethnic group because they are a
member of said ethnic group, will be heavily referenced throughout the proposal of
this exhibit. Supporting philosophers include Laura Mulvey and Paul C. Taylor, who
further delve into sexism and racism, respectively. Two important questions are
intended to be posed by this exhibit: 1. How is racism portrayed differently
throughout the... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
For definition of the male gaze, this area of the exhibit will focus on Laura Mulvey
s Woman as Image, Man as Bearer of the Look. In this piece, Mulvey discusses two
theories: voyeurism and fetishistic scopophilia. To briefly explain, voyeurism
involves deriving pleasure from the assertion of control, usually done by a male.
On the other hand, fetishistic scopophilia transforms the female entity into an
object whose sole purpose is to pleasure. An area of this exhibit include an arcade
machine of the game Mortal Kombat to depict the difference in the way males and
females are drawn and portrayed in video games. Male characters within this game
are provided armor, or clothing at the least, that covers their vital organs and suits
their fighting style. It is obvious the intention of the male characters clothing is
functionality. However, the same can not be said about their female counterparts.
Not only is their clothing minimal, their fighting style is also hypersexualized. This
video game is almost the epitome of Mulvey s fetishistic scopophilia. Next to this
will be side by side showcasing of famous superhero costumes such as Wonder
Woman vs. Superman and Catwoman vs. the Joker. Again, these costumes
reinforce fetishistic scopophilia as female characters are purposely clothed with
minimal armor that accentuates a female s breasts and butt. Music videos are
another reliable source for elaborating on fetishistic scopophilia. For instance, the
popular rock band Van Halen s Hot for Teacher reduces the band s teacher to
nothing but a sexual object to whom they sexually fantasize about instead of
respect and learn from. Moreover, the famous Stacy s Mom by Fountains of Wayne
reduces the band s friend s mom to a sexual object for visual pleasure. The novel
Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov will be used to further detail how males view women,
even young teens, as subjects for their pleasure,

(`), r, or g. (On Mac, Grave is named CIRCUMFLEX). Next, ask them to change
their Attack/Destroy to the up arrow on their keyboard. While they re doing this,
check for telltale signs of a client. Check places such as the top of their minecraft
client where it says Minecraft 1.7.10 and look for things such as GUI or Trig next
to it, that could indicate that they re using a client. Also make sure that they re not

The People Of The Church
It all started among the young people of the church the apostate, obstinate children
of the powerless orthodoxy that prevailed in their midst for about seven years since
Edwards became their pastor.8 The lives of these young people were suddenly
changed as their minds began to be engulfed with a vision of Gods glory and their
hearts started to long for more of the Word of God.9 This revival of religion,
however, was really not new to the people of Northampton congregation. Solomon
Stoddard actually reports of five periods of revival (which he called harvests ) in
his Northampton pastoral experience in 1679, 1683, 1696, 1712 and 1718.10 Just
at the same time Edwards was observing and documenting this revival in
Northampton, another of this kind was taking place in the Middle Colonies led by
the graduates of William Tennent s Log College while still another was then
developing across the Atlantic in England under the leadership of John Wesley and
George Whitfield.11 News of these spiritual activities soon began to spread to
accommodate a developing spiritual interest in almost every village in the
neighboring towns of Northampton resulting to some more instances of revival in the
localities of New England.
Edwards was, of course, a direct eyewitness to these remarkable movements of the
Spirit of God. There are at least two periods of spiritual awakening in the
Northampton congregation under his pastoral ministry: in 1734 35 and 1740 42.
Edwards himself gives us records
The Fuel Of Diesel Vehicles
Today, we live in a world that s vastly interconnected. Something that happens
across seas can affect a whole nation, several nations, or even all of them. Recently
Volkswagen was put in the hot seat when they were caught imputing software into
their diesel vehicles, that makes it show a different emissions output than was
accepted by the EPA. They called this device the, defeat device. Thusly all of their
vehicles that were diesel were marketed as low emissions which turned out to be a
lie. The article on bbc.com states, The engines emitted nitrogen oxide pollutants up
to 40 times above what is allowed in the US. This is a huge blow to the company
as far as public opinion goes. They lost the trust of millions of people around the
world. They have been producing allegedly clean diesel emissions for a long time
now and even included that in their advertisements. Because of this scandal they
were forced to recall millions of diesel vehicles with this device causing them to
lose over $2.5 billion. Their first quarterly loss in the past 15 years. This sounds
like a lot of money but the EPA is still considering fining Volkswagen for each car
they produced and lied about. The amount they are considering charging them is
roughly $37,500 for each car which leads to a maximum fine of $18 billion. That s
more than the value of most of the cars, which really shows how seriously they are
taking this. Even for a giant like VW that is a massive blow financially. From now

A Lexical Pragmatic Analysis of Proverbs in Femi...
This essay is a pragmatic reading of moral and socio political decadence in Femi
Osofisan s Midnight Hotel. It does this by analyzing ten out of twenty five proverbs
deployed in the text. In analyzing the proverbs, this essay observes that each has at
least an ad hoc constituent which requires semantic modulation to get at the
meanings of the proverbs. This modulation is not arbitrary, but contextually
negotiated until the reader reaches his optimal relevance.
Wilson and Carston argue that metaphors are cases of ad hoc constructions (7), for
instance, when a speaker says, The boy is a lion . While a literary scholar would
see this as metaphorical, Wilson and Carston believe that the above sentence is a
case of the use of an ad hoc ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
One of such is with Ossie Onuorah Enekwe where he says that:
To get desperately close to the spectator, to each and every one I have trapped in the
darkness or half light, to penetrate very close and intimate, like a knife in the ribs. I
want to make that spectator happy but uncomfortable. I want to turn him open, guts
and all, spice him, cook him in the filthy, stinking broil of our history. I want him
washed inside out, in the naked truth, and then I sew him back again a different man.
(18)
The playwright s closeness to a reader of Midnight Hotel is predicated on the
contemporary subject matters raised in the text. It is true the essence of the play is to
effect a social change (as it is with most literary works), but this change cannot occur
if the reader finds it difficult to comprehend what the text says. Thus this essay lends
a hand in that direction, by working out an easy, systematic, pragmatic format for
understanding Osofisan s Midnight Hotel.
Commenting on the playwright s art, Awodiya submits that Osofisan is prolific and
theatrically fertile in creating flexible dramatic forms that have great stage
adaptability (15). Awodiya further notes Osofisan s penchant for invoking traditional
African elements of music, dance, songs, mime and improvisation (15). One of such
is proverbs with which he attaches the African sense. Awodiya acknowledges that
Anorexic By Eavan Boland
10 15% of all Americans suffer from some type of eating disorder (Mirasol Eating
Disorder Recovery Centers) . This doesn t seem like much but in reality it s a very
large number. Eavan Boland took on the task of writing a poem about the feelings
anorexia can put on someone. I believe the poem Anorexic by Eavan Boland
represents the feeling of guilt and self deprivation through her use of literal and
metaphorical meanings. First of all, this poem doesn t have very many literal
meanings, but I think the ones it has emphasizes the topic of the poem. Literal
meaning is the most basic definition of a word; without any metaphors. Eavan
Boland writes, Once by the song of his breath/ and in his sleeping side ( Boland 26
27 ) helps us picture the place and time the speaker is saying the poem. The fact that
this line is repeated twice helps put into perspective that she is feeling guilty and her
troubling thoughts are keeping her up through the night. I think the guilt she is
feeling is keeping her from sleep as she s thinking all of the ways she can somehow

In the poem Boland writes, Yes, I am torching her curves, and paps, and wiles.
/ They scorch in my self denials (Boland 4 6) as we can tell she isn t literally
burning herself, but rather the idea of the guilt she s feeling burning her up inside.
Another quote Eavan Boland uses Caged so/ I will grow/ angular and holy/ (
Boland 33 35 ) explaining that the way she is going to deal with her guilt is by
depriving herself of something until she is holy, which in reality a body can never
really be holy. Jennifer Smith and Elizabeth Thomason, from the book Poetry For
Students Vol.12 both claim that the emphasis on the the speakers metaphorical act of
burning her body supports the idea that the line intensifies the description of the guilt

John Wooden s Pyramid Of Success
John Wooden once said Success is never final, Failure is never fatal. This is related
to the question of what my views of success are. To give you better insight on this
question I will tell you how i would define success using John Wooden s Pyramid of
Success , identify the three most important traits from the pyramid of success, to me,
explain how they create success, and why i thought they were the most important.
Next I will use examples from the movie Hoosiers, tell you what success looks like
for the people involved, the emotions they had after their success, and how the
success impacted their lives. Lastly I will define success in my own eyes and how I
have been successful in my life.
I would define success as achieving a goal that you set out for. The three most
important things on John Woodens Pyramid of Success are Confidence, Condition
and Fight. These create success in many ways. If you have confidence to win you
will always win or come very close. If your team is in condition you will be able to
outwork the other team and be success. And if you willing to fight to win then you
will be successful in every accept of life. I thought these were important because of
how the sports I play I use all of these to be successful in these and in life in general.

Bicycle Thief Essay
The Bicycle Thief The Bicycle Thief is probably the best known and most highly
praised of all the Italian Neorealist films of its era. The films of the Neorealist
movement were characterized by several primary ideas. Instead of featuring
stories focusing on glitz and glamour, Neorealist films focused on the poor and the
working class. Instead of building and fabricating complex sets to film on, they did
their filming on location. And instead of trying to get the most well known, highly
paid celebrity actors, they frequently used people that weren t even professional
actors and had no training for their starring roles. This all helped lend a sense of
realism and weight to the stories. The Bicycle Thief takes place in Rome during a...

With no other choice, Antonio takes to the streets and searches for his bike for
hours, but comes up empty handed. The scene where he and his son are caught in
the rain, soaked and downtrodden, as all around him people on their bikes are
riding away really makes poignant the hopelessness of his situation. After trying
everything he can think of to get any leads on the thief or the location of his bike,
go so far as to even spend what little money he has left on a fortune teller, he
happens to bump into the thief in question walking down the street. He chases and
finally corners him, but the thief refuses to confess anything and his family and
friends defend him from the furious Antonio. The cops arrive, and yet again, they
are of no help. They can t do anything for Antonio as he has no concrete evidence of
the crime. Pushed to the final point of desperation, Antonio realizes he has no
choice left but to stoop to the lowest level and steal a bike if he doesn t want his
family to starve. He tries to snatch one but is almost immediately taken down by
witnesses and held until the police arrive. Seeing Antonio s son distraught and in
tears, the man doesn t press charge and lets him off the hook. Antonio and his son
walk off, both of them in tears, completely hopeless and beaten by society at every
turn. This is what Italian Neorealism is all about. For millions upon millions

This patient s periodontal exam reveals probing depth for number 5 is 4mm. This
could be sign of localized gingiva or inflammation of swollen gingiva can increase

incomplete removal of caries before endodontic treatment, improper marginal
sealing of crown, improper sealing of root canal, and improper flossing between
the teeth. Unfortunately, number 5 cannot be restored from the damage she has.
Several options can be considered to resolve her chief complaints. The first option
is the implant. The implant sounds like a great option for her. But, her dental cast
reveals that her teeth space between 5 and 7(12mm)are too narrow to have the

The process implies the five functions of management which are planning, organizing,
staffing, directing and controlling. Human resources management deals only with
people so they can manage the other resources within their domain of responsibility
efficiently and effectively. Human resource managementis also a strategic and
comprehensive approach to managing people and the workplace culture and
environment. Effective HRM enables employees to contribute effectively and
productively to the overall company direction and the accomplishment of the
organization s goals and objectives.
Scope of Human Resources Management
Human Resource Management is moving away from traditional personnel,
administration, and transactional roles, which are increasingly outsourced. HRM is
now expected to add value to the strategic utilization of employees and that employee
programs impact the business in measurable ways. The new role of HRM involves
strategic direction and HRM metrics and measurements to demonstrate value. Thus,
the scope of Human Resources Management becomes more extensive as management
endeavors to meet the needs and goals of its people in the organization.
The following are the 5 major functions of Human Resource Management: (1) Job
Organization and Information it is related to job analysis, every job is defined in
terms of duties and responsibilities and of the qualifications of the job holder. This

Diverticulitis
Diverticular disease has two separate manifestations. The subtle signs and symptoms
of diverticulosis are important to understand because many people who have this
problem are asymptomatic, but often this diverticular disease can lead to a more
serious condition known as diverticulitis. In diverticulosis, there are diverticula
present, but they do not cause any symptoms. In diverticulitis, which will be
discussed in detail, the diverticula are inflamed which can lead to other serious
consequences for the patient (Gramse, 1983). Diverticulitis is a bugling protrusion of
a mucous membrane through the wall of the colon(Marrs, 2006). These saclike or

Fifteen percent of the remaining patients develop symptoms of their diverticulosis,
while the remaining five percent develop diverticulitis. The symptoms of
diverticulosis are often hard to differentiate and determine because they are often
nonspecific symptoms, such as simple abdominal pain that is relieved by moving
their bowels (Marrs, 2006). Once inflammation occurs, the diverticulosis is
progressed to diverticulitis. This inflammation occurs from the large number of
bacteria that target the areas of weakened gastrointestinal wall and combine with
undigested foods. It is still unknown today why some diverticula became inflamed
while others do not. There are some theories surrounding this issue that states the
inflammation occurs only when the erosion of the colon wall is so bad that the body
s immune system is unable to protect such a large, disrupted area. In some cases, the
inflammation gets so bad and infection co exists. This combination can result in the
enlargement of the infection, allowing it to extend into the abdomen and become
peritonitis when it infects the lining of the abdomen (Unknown, 2010). Diverticulitis
is often classified as either uncomplicated and mild or complicated and chronic.
Regardless of the classification of the disease, pain is the main symptom. Since
diverticulitis occurs most often in the Sigmoid colon, the pain associated with
diverticulitis occurs most often in the lower, left quadrant of
The Medieval Feudalism System
Feudalism is a relationship between a lord and his vassals to provide service and
resources for each other. The feudal system emerge as dominant political and social
system in medieval Europe, because it provided the vassals with security by their
lords.
In one instance, The fiscal burdens of feudalism took any form deemed suitable by
the lords: payments in cash, in kind, in labor services, or in military services
(Goldsmith). After the Vikings raided many homes and cities, many people didn t
have much money to protect themselves. To ensure protection, they find lords who
are able to protect them. In return, the vassals do military service, pay taxes, and do
labor for their lords. However, while the lower class are working hard to benefit the
king, they don t gain anything from the king or their lords. For example, if the king

But, if the king s vassals doesn t have enough knights, the king s vassals asked their
own vassals and it keeps on going until the lower class, or serfs, has to fight for the
king. Another instance, Scarce money [...] and the constant threat of raids and
warfare and lack of a strong central government forced the nobility to build strong
defense networks around their strongholds and castles ( Vassal ). If the lordis not
strong enough to protect them, then the vassals will go to find new lords that will
have military power that will protect them. This is when loyalty to the lord and
generosity comes into play. Also, chivalry is significant in the feudal society. If the
king or the lord are not courageous, loyalty and generous, then it will become a
problem. If the lord isn t generous to their vassals, then their vassals are not going
to pay taxes, not going to defend borders or do military services. The king and lord

Benefits Of Small Town Living
Growing up in a very little town in Illinois was a lot different than growing up in
Houston, Texas. When I was in the fourth grade I found many things to have
changed about my surroundings, I currently lived in a place where, the people
thought and acted differently. I know now reading about it and understanding
more that some of those changes were for the good and some were not. Small
town living has its advantages such as, very close friendships, close approximately
to may things, and friendly people. Looking back, I also realized that there were a
lot of disadvantages such as lack of transportation, affects of a poor education, no
opportunities for growth, crime, no diversity, and low paying jobs and housing.
Now that I am older, and aware of the affects of living in a small town, I can see
how these many things affected my life and will continue affect it in the future. I
grew up, the majority of my live, in a town in central Illinois, Kincaid, or better
known as South Fork because of the co op with the schools around us in sports. This
town is approximately 20 miles southeast of Springfield, and is only seven miles west
from the nearest town, with many opportunities that my town did not offer (Citydata).

keep the students attention and keep them interested in the curriculum. On the other
hand, learning should not be all fun and games. Students will never take learning
seriously if there is not seriousness implanted in their learning experience. It is my
opinion classroom learning environments should be highly structured with strong
focuses on academic work as well as essential knowledge and skills. As I stated
before, a child should have just as much academic knowledge as they do knowledge
of how the world works around them. This follows both Essentialism as well as
Perennialism. Perennialism is an educational philosophy suggesting that nature is
constant and that schools should teach classic knowledge. (Kauchak and Eggen, 201)
Lastly, I feel that teachers should offer frequent objective and performance
assessments and feedback to their students. Students should be periodically assessed
on their work and given feedback and how they are doing. This is part of the
essentialism philosophy. I believe that assessing students and giving them feedback
helps the students as well as their parents know, without question, how the students in
doing, what their level of
Tuesday s Lecture Analysis
This week s seminar started with the disappointment about the Tuesday s lecture with
Faith Austin being cancelled. We commented and discussed about it with Daisy, that
informed us about Austin being ill. After numerous propositions from my colleagues
to have the lecture at the end of the term, the teacher claimed that she will do her best
so we can manage to have the lecture about Production and Stage management. After
that, together as a whole group we talked about the recent news, including Bristol
funding cuts for arts increasing, The Faction and their website (following Mark
Leipacher s lecture from 31/01/2017). In addition, we talked about the different ways
to stay informed and be aware of the latest theatrenews, following websites like...

The topic was playwrights, and Daisy asked us our favourite playwright. They were
all varied, from Sophocles, to Lorca or Sarah Kane. What I learned about Sophocles
from the lecture was the amount of plays he wrote (around 120), and that only 7
remain complete: Electra, Oedipus Rex, Ajax, Antigone, Philoctetes, The women of
Trachis and Oedipus at Colonus, that was very interesting unknown information
that I received. In addition, another interesting fact that I learned was that
Sophocles introduced the third actor and the concept of Skenographia (scenery
painting). Another playwright mentioned was Tom Stoppard with plays like
Arcadia or R and G are dead, crucial to make himself known. Federico Garcia Lorca
was also mentioned, a Spanish playwright and poet that I already knew, but
interesting to hear that other people from the seminar class share the love for him.
Willy Russell with Blood Brothers, was another playwright named, it was the first
time to hear it. In addition, it was the first time to hear about Arthur Miller, with
plays like The Crucible, The Death of a Salesman or Tragic Hero. Samuel Becket
was definitely a well known name, and we talked about how different is Waiting for
Godot. In contrast to the last statement, Alan Bennett is a playwright that I
discovered in this seminar, with
The Chemical Structure Of Pregabalin
Introduction Pregabalin, trade name Lyrica, approved for its anticonvulsant
properties and to relieve pain in those who suffer from diabetic neuropathy. The
chemical structure of pregabalin is structurally analogous to Оі aminobutyric acid
(GABA), an inhibitory neurotransmitter found in the central nervous system and
functions by binding to О±2Оґ voltage gated calcium ion channel in presynaptic,
inhibiting the release of neurotransmitters, most notably GABA. By decreasing the
amount of the inhibitory neurotransmitterGABA in synaptic terminals, epileptic
seizures can be controlled and prevented.1
Each drug displays its own properties when introduced to the body and all traits
must be evaluated to observe effectiveness and side effects that may occur.
Pregabalin, although structurally and functionally similar to gabapentin (trade name
Neurontin), has been shown to be more potent and exhibits linear kinetic properties,
unlike gabapentin. Some factors that contribute to its success are that it has a
bioavailability of 90%, 98% is excreted in urine unchanged, thus no or few side
reactions occur, and it is able to pass through the blood brain barrier. Beneficial
effects of taking pregabalin can be observed in as little as 2 days of administration,
unlike most other central nervous system drugs, which typically take effect.1
Pregabalin is prescribed to treat conditions such as epilepsy and diabetic neuropathy.
In addition, pregabalin has been approved for the treatment of
Hurricane By Bob Dylan
In the song Hurricane by Bob Dylan it describes their protest about the
imprisonment of Rubin Hurricane Carter. It arranges alleged acts of racism and
profiling against Carter. Bob Dylan describes as leading to a false trial and
conviction. Rubin Carter and John Artis were charged with a triple murder at the
Lafayette Grill in Paterson, New Jerseyin 1966. The next year Carter and Artis were
found guilty of the murders, which were reported as racially motivated. In the
following years, numerous amounts of controversy appeared over the case from
allegations of faulty evidence and questionable eyewitness testimony to an unfair
trial. Hurricanegives examples of some of the major topics we have talked about in
Theology. For example, the

  • 1. Definition Essay Examples Crafting an essay on the topic of "Definition Essay Examples" can prove to be both challenging and intellectually stimulating. The difficulty lies not only in conveying a clear understanding of the chosen concept but also in presenting it in a manner that captivates the reader's attention. Defining an abstract idea involves delving into its various facets, exploring its nuances, and articulating these complexities in a coherent and engaging manner. One hurdle you may encounter is striking the right balance between providing a comprehensive definition and avoiding excessive verbosity. It's crucial to find the sweet spot where you elucidate the concept adequately without overwhelming your audience with unnecessary details. Additionally, selecting relevant examples that not only illustrate the definition but also resonate with your readers can be a daunting task. Moreover, grappling with the challenge of ensuring your essay remains focused and coherent can be daunting. The risk of veering off-topic or becoming too broad is ever-present, requiring a careful and deliberate approach to organization and structure. Crafting a compelling introduction that hooks the reader, a body that seamlessly develops the concept, and a conclusion that leaves a lasting impression is an intricate art. Furthermore, the research process can be time-consuming. Ensuring that you draw upon authoritative sources to reinforce your definitions and examples adds an additional layer of complexity. Striking the right balance between academic rigor and accessibility for a general audience is a juggling act that demands careful consideration. Despite the inherent difficulties, the reward lies in the opportunity to deepen your understanding of the chosen concept and, in turn, share that knowledge with your readers. It is an exercise that not only hones your writing skills but also challenges your analytical and critical thinking abilities. For those seeking assistance, it's worth noting that similar essays and a plethora of academic writing services can be found online. Platforms like HelpWriting.net provide a range of options for those who may require additional support in navigating the complexities of essay writing.

  • 2. Animal Ethics And Animal Farming Not only does killing and torturing animals for the consumption of their meat and products harm the animal but it harms humans and our planet as well. It is common to find people who are omnivores in our country and rare to find a vegan. The vegan lifestyle is the only way that we can save this planet. Usually, if you are eating dinner and someone mentions the animal that you are eating, when it was living, another person at the table freaks out because they do not want to think of that. We disassociate ourselves with the actual living animal that has suffered huge amounts on our plates because we see ourselves as animal lovers who are against inhumane torture and killing of animals. You can not classify yourself as an animal lover if you consume an animal or their product because you are still supporting their demise. Why? Because the taste pleases us. That is all. We are disgusted by people who torture and hurt animals for pleasure. For example, people disassociate themselves from the Philadelphia Eagles NFL team due to the actions of the player Michael Vick. Vick ran a dog fighting ring and bet on dogs to kill one another. Why? For no other reason than the fact that it pleased him. We say that we are animal lovers and agree that animals have at least some moral value but how does this make killing and torturing animals for our consumption okay? Animal agriculture and factory farming are huge industries that are sort of swept under the rug by omnivores. These
  • 3. Aquinas Cosmological Argument Aquinas was a Catholic priest who tried to prove the existence of God using his five cosmological arguments. I disagree with the validity of these arguments. The arguments presented by Aquinas are questionable and most certainly do not prove the existence of the Christian God. Aquinas states that God s existencecan be proved in five ways. The first way he tries to prove God is proof by motion. He states that motion is a reduction of something from potentiality to actuality. It is impossible for something to be in potentiality and actuality at the same time. It is obvious that some things in the world are in motion. Whatever is moved is moved by something else, because nothing can be put into actuality without being first in potentiality, and something in potentiality can only be put into... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The arguments combined prove a being which is a prime mover, first cause, necessary being, root of all perfection, and intelligent being. The arguments, however, do not prove the Christian God as described by the Bible. First, the arguments do not prove that there is only one god. There could be several gods and Aquinas arguments do nothing to prove otherwise. Furthermore, a god could have all of these attributes yet never have done anything that was described in the Bible. For example, I can envision a god with all of these attributes who enjoys to eat cheese. I could even write a book about such a god and the different types of cheese he eats. And, based on Aquinas arguments, as my god has all the qualities described by Aquinas, my god is equally as likely to exist as the Christian God. There are infinitely many gods that can be envisioned which all have the attributes described by Aquinas. Therefore, there is no way of proving, even if Aquinas arguments are true, that the Christian God described by the Bible
  • 4. Penelope And Sita In Homer s The Ramayana And The Odyssey... Penelope and Sita do not fight frightening monsters; they do not attract the anger of the gods; they do not journey to the struggle of Hades to be reunited like Odysseus or they do not go to an exile like Rama did with Viswamitra to master skills. However, they are heroes to me because of their sincerity, loyalty, purity, and respect toward their beloved husband and the people. When comparing these two novels, The Ramayanaby R. K. Narayan to The Odysseyby Homer, Sita s represents the epitome of by her Indian culture that has alike values with the Ancient Greek culture concerning faith and family ties. Even though women weren t treated equally to the men during that time, it s interesting to see how these two characters place their trust toward their husband to keep their family happy and they are the hidden heroes of those stories. Sita is a hidden hero because she shows respect, pure, sincere, and loyalty to her beloved husband even when she was tortured. Sita, Rama s wife, is the rebirth of the goddess Lakshmi. She s a young beautiful woman, who is in love with Rama. Sita accompanies Rama into the forest on his quest and was nabbed by Ravana. When Ravana abducted her, he imposed her to marry him. She was very loyal to her husband and refused Ravana. In the novel Ramayana, it states that Sita accepts the torture of Ravana and Demon Rakshasa, but still doesn t accept Ravana as her husband. Sita dismisses Ravana s advances, guard. Even when Rama started losing faith in
  • 5. California Gold Rush In 1849, millions of people rushed to California. These people came for the Gold Rush, which was a historical event that will be remembered forever. These people were called 49ers. Some traveled by boat, and then walked across the Panama. Then they took another boat to C.A. Others took a boat around the Cape Horn to C.A. or went on station wagon. People from all over the world came to C.A. in search for gold. People traveled by land and sea. Traveling in a station wagon wasn t that bad, and the people took resources from the C.A. Indian tribes that had died from the plague.(Wonders pg. 140 and Gold Rush Guy). Miners usually spent hours looking for gold and found nothing. Today, a small piece of gold could be worth 8$. Mining was hard, boring, and dangerous. (Our C.A. pg. 78 and Gold Rush Guy). There were many different ways to find gold. One way, was to pan in a river. Another way, was to use a rocker. There were two different types of pans. (Ms. Hammill and Gold Rush Guy). In conclusion, in 1849, many people came to C.A. for the Gold Rush. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

Pyongyang is the capital and also the largest city in North Korea as well. North Korea has no official religion and is an Atheist state. North Korea is a country that is not like any other. North Korea a country that was once was held under control of Japan for almost 35 years until after WWII it was taken over by the Allies and split by the 38th Parallel. The United States controlled the bottom half of the 38th Parallel which is now South Korea while the Soviet Union controlled the Northern part also known as North Korea. The goal was between the U.S. and U.S.S.R was to created a unified Korea but due to the onset of the Cold War this was not meant. The U.S. created the Republic of Korea in South Korea while the Soviets created the Democratic People s Republic of Korea in North Korea. As North Korea name says Democratic, that is not the case.

Anyway, North Korea is very strict on their economy for certain reasons. One is the don t want any uprisings to happen that can throw off the leaders of the country and switch the power. North Korea also tries to make their economy very secretive even though there economy was left in the dust by their evil step brother in the South by the mid 1970s.

  • 9. Role Of Monsters In Jewish Literature Monsters in Job and Jewish Children s Literature Monsters have a long history in Jewish literature, traceable from biblical text all the way to modern day publications. Although the context in which biblical literature and Children s literature is written is vastly different, both attempt to achieve similar goals with their respective audiences. The stories in Job and the stories mentioned in Jody Eichler Levine s lecture share an emphasis on wisdom and the acquisition of knowledge. In this pursuit, both the Bibleand the selected works of Jewish children s literature we discussed use monsters to serve physical embodiments of the unknown, obstacles that must be overcome in order for both the character in the story and the reader to achieve ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Religious authorities would argue that those who take the time to read and understand the Bible are able to have a greater understanding of the world around them. Often, this knowledge can be an empowering tool that reduces the number of unknown, and thus feared, aspects of life and faith. In children s literature monsters teach lessons about the importance of knowledge and how knowledge can be the ultimate tool to overcome uncertainty and grow into devoted and less fearful adults. I thoroughly enjoyed Jodi Eichler Levine s lecture, as it was a topic I had never considered previously. And although at first it seemed there were no obvious ties between the characters discussed in her lectures and the characters that appear in Job, it was interesting to consider more abstractly how these two types of text could be
  • 10. Rhetorical Analysis Of Jane Addams Speech The rhetorical devices found in the speech that Jane Addams wrote are hypophora, metaphor, conduplicatio, enumeratio, and personification. Each of these devices has a purpose in the passage, with the author combining all of the devices to strengthen her essay. The most frequent rhetorical device in the passage is Hypophora, which is when the author asks and answers a question. The author first mentioned hypophora at the beginning of the passage to ask what makes a great man. She later shifts toward an example of a great man, George Washington.

Capital Markets And Strategic Issues Essay Capital Markets and Strategic Issues in Fund Raising A Answer Role of VCs in the company VC is a type of private equity also a financing provided by firms to nascent stage, emerging firms that are promising, show high growth potential (in terms of number of employees, annual revenue, or both). VC firms invest in these mentioned companies in exchange of ownership stake. VCs take on the risk of financing risky start ups thinking that some of the firms will be successful who they pursue. Start ups are usually based on an innovative technology/business model and they are usually from the high technology industries, such as information technology (IT), social media or biotechnology. In exchange for high risk that venture capitalists assume by investing in smaller/startup companies, VCs usually get significant control over company s management decisions, with companies ownership and value. Obtaining VC is different from raising a loan. Lenders have a legal right to interest payment of the principal irrespective of the business success /failure. VC is invested for an equity stake in the business. The return of the VC as a shareholder depends on business growth /profit. Return is earned when the venture capitalist exits . VCs are selective in deciding where to invest in; as a result, firms are looking for the extremely rare yet sought after qualities such as innovative technology, potential for rapid growth, a well developed business model and an impressive management team.

A hospital is place where the sick and injured are taken for treatment. The doctors and nurses are readily available there for attending on their patients. They are employed by the hospitals to nurse the sick back to health. Both hospital and clinical have big differences between each, some examples include: Size clinicals are smaller than hospitals and hospitals are larger than clinicals and, Staffs clinicals are always runned by few practitioners and hospital has many doctors, nurses and other medical techs. However, clinical mainly treats outpatients and, are not open twenty four hour a day. Whereas hospitals treats both inpatients and outpatients with open service of twenty four hour a day. Clinicals are not provided with more departments whereas hospitals concludes of different departments with different treatments.Deaths take place in the hospitals.

  • 14. Taking a Look at DNA Supercoiling DNA supercoiling is the over winding or under winding of a DNA strand. In general, most organisms DNA is negatively supercoiled. There are two types of supercoiling: positive and negative. Positive supercoiling means that the DNA strands are twisted in the right direction; whereas negative supercoiling means that the DNAstrands are twisted in the left direction. The laws of Physics govern everything that happens in the world, including DNA coiling in living beings. Some of the concepts in Physics that are involved in DNA coiling are quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics. Quantum physics is a branch of physics that explores certain units of energy, which are called quanta. These units of energy are described by the Quantum Theory. The dictionary definition of the Quantum Theory is: Any theory predating quantum mechanics that encompassed Planck s radiation formula and a scheme for obtaining discrete energy states for atoms, as Bohr theory. This definition means that Quantum Theory deals with Planck s radiation formula, Bohr theory and indivisible units of energy. A great deal of research has been conducted in the field of quantum mechanics and its connection with DNA supercoiling. Some Physicists have formed a theory, which states that quantum entanglement holds DNA molecules together and prevents the DNA from falling apart. Quantum entanglement is the relationship between any objects that deal with quantum mechanics. A Physicist named Elisabeth Rieper, from the

Increasing density reduces the size of houses and overall its consumption of resources (Rauland and Newman 2011). The authors further contend, therefore that increasing density has numerous other benefits, including enabling better public transport infrastructure such as light rail and trains as well as increasing the walkability of cities, all of which will significantly reduce transport emissions ( Rauland and Newman p. 6. 2011). Adding density to transform cities can also improve quality of life by offering more local amenities and better lifestyles ( Rauland and Newman 2011).

  • 16. The Harsh Reality of Keeping Away From Radioactivity Radioactivity is a looming threat that many people do not seem to know about. Ever since the Fukushima disaster in Japan, the internet has been swarming with reports about how the radiation can reach the West Coast and harm Californians. This has been confirmed by experts; radioactivity was expected to show up in April and has already been found in kelp along the sea. Radioactivity is a serious threat to humans, and people should be more aware of the risks related to it, especially now, when there are signs of radioactivity in the West Coast. The main argument that people use to keep themselves from accepting the harsh reality of radioactive poisoning is that since there have been no radioactive leaks in the United States recently, we are not at risk. This also is untrue; back in April, there was a radioactive leak in New Mexico. So far, doses of radiation to the surrounding population are low, but even those low levels of radioactivity can have harmful effects on the body in the long term. So what are these harmful effects? To answer this question, we need to understand how radioactive isotopes decay. There are many different elements, and each has its own radioactive isotopes. For example, one of the common plutonium isotopes produced by man is plutonium 239. When this radioactive isotope decays, it produces energy. This energy is radioactivity. When the isotope decays, it produces alpha, beta, and gamma particles. These particles are also a part of a general class of

The declaration of the rights of man and of citizen was approved by the national assembly of France on August 29, 1789 and drafted by Marquis de Lafayette.

Essay about Leonardo Da Vinci Leonardo Da Vinci Leonardo DA Vinci (1452 1519), Florentine artist, one of the great masters of high Renaissance, celebrated as a painter, sculptor, architect, engineer, and scientist. His profound love of knowledge and research was the keynote of both his scientific and artistic endeavors. His innovations in the field of painting influenced the course of Italian art for more than a century after his death, and his scientific studies, particularly in the fields of anatomy, optics, and hydraulics.

It looks like saving money for the customers, but it brings great profit for the company. Instead of supplying only large retail stores like PETsMART and PETCO, they now allowed its distributors to sell Iams s products to small rural and upscale grocery stores. This allows Gardner to operate in the areas where Iams s product was not available before. According to some estimation, Gardner can now open up to 60 grocery stores in 6 months. Another possible opportunity for Gardner is acquiring more territory and acquisition of its competitors. Gardner s managers feel that the location of Gardner allows it to easily come to other markets like Seattle, Salt lake City, Portland and others. Acquisitions will allow rapid growth in a short time period. However, there may also be synergies in distribution, information systems, and management. Threats The major threat for Gardner is coming from large retailer like PETsMART and PETCO. These companies are aggressively acquiring competitors and open new stores. Iams sells its products directly to these companies, which can reduce Gardner s gross profit percentage. Another potential threat is in the company s financials.

About three million commercial vehicles and sixteen million passenger vehicles had been sold in China (Statista, 2015). According to the research, Beijing has over six million on its road. The huge number of vehicles also stand for the release of plenty of automobile exhaust in China. The automobile exhaust makes the smog problem be more serious. Because of the urbanization, the green belts are reducing. Most of cities prefer to build more buildings in the center of the cities. Everyone know plants are the important roles to absorb dirty air and release fresh air. However, the urbanization breaks this cycle. In addition, the air has its own self purification capacity, which is an ability to clean itself. However, the progress of self purification capacity is slow because of the rapid development of cities. The air does not have enough time to clean itself and the ability become weaker.

For definition of the male gaze, this area of the exhibit will focus on Laura Mulvey s Woman as Image, Man as Bearer of the Look. In this piece, Mulvey discusses two theories: voyeurism and fetishistic scopophilia. To briefly explain, voyeurism involves deriving pleasure from the assertion of control, usually done by a male. On the other hand, fetishistic scopophilia transforms the female entity into an object whose sole purpose is to pleasure. An area of this exhibit include an arcade machine of the game Mortal Kombat to depict the difference in the way males and females are drawn and portrayed in video games. Male characters within this game are provided armor, or clothing at the least, that covers their vital organs and suits their fighting style. It is obvious the intention of the male characters clothing is functionality. However, the same can not be said about their female counterparts. Not only is their clothing minimal, their fighting style is also hypersexualized. This video game is almost the epitome of Mulvey s fetishistic scopophilia. Next to this will be side by side showcasing of famous superhero costumes such as Wonder Woman vs. Superman and Catwoman vs. the Joker. Again, these costumes reinforce fetishistic scopophilia as female characters are purposely clothed with minimal armor that accentuates a female s breasts and butt. Music videos are another reliable source for elaborating on fetishistic scopophilia. For instance, the popular rock band Van Halen s Hot for Teacher reduces the band s teacher to nothing but a sexual object to whom they sexually fantasize about instead of respect and learn from. Moreover, the famous Stacy s Mom by Fountains of Wayne reduces the band s friend s mom to a sexual object for visual pleasure. The novel Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov will be used to further detail how males view women, even young teens, as subjects for their pleasure,

The People Of The Church It all started among the young people of the church the apostate, obstinate children of the powerless orthodoxy that prevailed in their midst for about seven years since Edwards became their pastor.8 The lives of these young people were suddenly changed as their minds began to be engulfed with a vision of Gods glory and their hearts started to long for more of the Word of God.9 This revival of religion, however, was really not new to the people of Northampton congregation. Solomon Stoddard actually reports of five periods of revival (which he called harvests ) in his Northampton pastoral experience in 1679, 1683, 1696, 1712 and 1718.10 Just at the same time Edwards was observing and documenting this revival in Northampton, another of this kind was taking place in the Middle Colonies led by the graduates of William Tennent s Log College while still another was then developing across the Atlantic in England under the leadership of John Wesley and George Whitfield.11 News of these spiritual activities soon began to spread to accommodate a developing spiritual interest in almost every village in the neighboring towns of Northampton resulting to some more instances of revival in the localities of New England. Edwards was, of course, a direct eyewitness to these remarkable movements of the Spirit of God. There are at least two periods of spiritual awakening in the Northampton congregation under his pastoral ministry: in 1734 35 and 1740 42. Edwards himself gives us records

Recently Volkswagen was put in the hot seat when they were caught imputing software into their diesel vehicles, that makes it show a different emissions output than was accepted by the EPA. They called this device the, defeat device. Thusly all of their vehicles that were diesel were marketed as low emissions which turned out to be a lie. The article on bbc.com states, The engines emitted nitrogen oxide pollutants up to 40 times above what is allowed in the US. This is a huge blow to the company as far as public opinion goes. They lost the trust of millions of people around the world. They have been producing allegedly clean diesel emissions for a long time now and even included that in their advertisements. Because of this scandal they were forced to recall millions of diesel vehicles with this device causing them to lose over $2.5 billion. Their first quarterly loss in the past 15 years. This sounds like a lot of money but the EPA is still considering fining Volkswagen for each car they produced and lied about. The amount they are considering charging them is roughly $37,500 for each car which leads to a maximum fine of $18 billion. That s more than the value of most of the cars, which really shows how seriously they are taking this. Even for a giant like VW that is a massive blow financially. From now on every
  • 28. A Lexical Pragmatic Analysis of Proverbs in Femi... This essay is a pragmatic reading of moral and socio political decadence in Femi Osofisan s Midnight Hotel. It does this by analyzing ten out of twenty five proverbs deployed in the text. In analyzing the proverbs, this essay observes that each has at least an ad hoc constituent which requires semantic modulation to get at the meanings of the proverbs. This modulation is not arbitrary, but contextually negotiated until the reader reaches his optimal relevance. Wilson and Carston argue that metaphors are cases of ad hoc constructions (7), for instance, when a speaker says, The boy is a lion . While a literary scholar would see this as metaphorical, Wilson and Carston believe that the above sentence is a case of the use of an ad hoc ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... One of such is with Ossie Onuorah Enekwe where he says that: To get desperately close to the spectator, to each and every one I have trapped in the darkness or half light, to penetrate very close and intimate, like a knife in the ribs. I want to make that spectator happy but uncomfortable. I want to turn him open, guts and all, spice him, cook him in the filthy, stinking broil of our history. I want him washed inside out, in the naked truth, and then I sew him back again a different man. (18) The playwright s closeness to a reader of Midnight Hotel is predicated on the contemporary subject matters raised in the text. It is true the essence of the play is to effect a social change (as it is with most literary works), but this change cannot occur if the reader finds it difficult to comprehend what the text says. Thus this essay lends a hand in that direction, by working out an easy, systematic, pragmatic format for understanding Osofisan s Midnight Hotel. Commenting on the playwright s art, Awodiya submits that Osofisan is prolific and theatrically fertile in creating flexible dramatic forms that have great stage adaptability (15). Awodiya further notes Osofisan s penchant for invoking traditional African elements of music, dance, songs, mime and improvisation (15). One of such is proverbs with which he attaches the African sense. Awodiya acknowledges that

Eavan Boland writes, Once by the song of his breath/ and in his sleeping side ( Boland 26 27 ) helps us picture the place and time the speaker is saying the poem.

Another quote Eavan Boland uses Caged so/ I will grow/ angular and holy/ ( Boland 33 35 ) explaining that the way she is going to deal with her guilt is by depriving herself of something until she is holy, which in reality a body can never really be holy.

  • 31. Bicycle Thief Essay The Bicycle Thief The Bicycle Thief is probably the best known and most highly praised of all the Italian Neorealist films of its era. The films of the Neorealist movement were characterized by several primary ideas. Instead of featuring stories focusing on glitz and glamour, Neorealist films focused on the poor and the working class. Instead of building and fabricating complex sets to film on, they did their filming on location. And instead of trying to get the most well known, highly paid celebrity actors, they frequently used people that weren t even professional actors and had no training for their starring roles. This all helped lend a sense of realism and weight to the stories. The Bicycle Thief takes place in Rome during a... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... With no other choice, Antonio takes to the streets and searches for his bike for hours, but comes up empty handed. The scene where he and his son are caught in the rain, soaked and downtrodden, as all around him people on their bikes are riding away really makes poignant the hopelessness of his situation. After trying everything he can think of to get any leads on the thief or the location of his bike, go so far as to even spend what little money he has left on a fortune teller, he happens to bump into the thief in question walking down the street. He chases and finally corners him, but the thief refuses to confess anything and his family and friends defend him from the furious Antonio. The cops arrive, and yet again, they are of no help. They can t do anything for Antonio as he has no concrete evidence of the crime. Pushed to the final point of desperation, Antonio realizes he has no choice left but to stoop to the lowest level and steal a bike if he doesn t want his family to starve. He tries to snatch one but is almost immediately taken down by witnesses and held until the police arrive. Seeing Antonio s son distraught and in tears, the man doesn t press charge and lets him off the hook. Antonio and his son walk off, both of them in tears, completely hopeless and beaten by society at every turn. This is what Italian Neorealism is all about. For millions upon millions

Furthermore, the possible reasons for her recurrent caries are incomplete removal of caries before endodontic treatment, improper marginal sealing of crown, improper sealing of root canal, and improper flossing between the teeth. Unfortunately, number 5 cannot be restored from the damage she has. Several options can be considered to resolve her chief complaints. The first option is the implant. The implant sounds like a great option for her. But, her dental cast reveals that her teeth space between 5 and 7(12mm)are too narrow to have the implant. (shah 2008) The second option is making the Pontiac bridges between numbers 4 to 7. But, This is not a good considerable option because her sound teeth must be damaged to build the bridge between numbers 4 to 7. The last option is the partial denture.

The process implies the five functions of management which are planning, organizing, staffing, directing and controlling. Human resources management deals only with people so they can manage the other resources within their domain of responsibility efficiently and effectively. Human resource managementis also a strategic and comprehensive approach to managing people and the workplace culture and environment. Effective HRM enables employees to contribute effectively and productively to the overall company direction and the accomplishment of the organization s goals and objectives.

HRM is now expected to add value to the strategic utilization of employees and that employee programs impact the business in measurable ways. The new role of HRM involves strategic direction and HRM metrics and measurements to demonstrate value. Thus, the scope of Human Resources Management becomes more extensive as management endeavors to meet the needs and goals of its people in the organization.

The subtle signs and symptoms of diverticulosis are important to understand because many people who have this problem are asymptomatic, but often this diverticular disease can lead to a more serious condition known as diverticulitis. In diverticulosis, there are diverticula present, but they do not cause any symptoms. In diverticulitis, which will be discussed in detail, the diverticula are inflamed which can lead to other serious consequences for the patient (Gramse, 1983).

Fifteen percent of the remaining patients develop symptoms of their diverticulosis, while the remaining five percent develop diverticulitis. The symptoms of diverticulosis are often hard to differentiate and determine because they are often nonspecific symptoms, such as simple abdominal pain that is relieved by moving their bowels (Marrs, 2006). Once inflammation occurs, the diverticulosis is progressed to diverticulitis. This inflammation occurs from the large number of bacteria that target the areas of weakened gastrointestinal wall and combine with undigested foods. It is still unknown today why some diverticula became inflamed while others do not. There are some theories surrounding this issue that states the inflammation occurs only when the erosion of the colon wall is so bad that the body s immune system is unable to protect such a large, disrupted area. In some cases, the inflammation gets so bad and infection co exists. This combination can result in the enlargement of the infection, allowing it to extend into the abdomen and become peritonitis when it infects the lining of the abdomen (Unknown, 2010). Diverticulitis is often classified as either uncomplicated and mild or complicated and chronic. Regardless of the classification of the disease, pain is the main symptom. Since diverticulitis occurs most often in the Sigmoid colon, the pain associated with diverticulitis occurs most often in the lower, left quadrant of
  • 37. The Medieval Feudalism System Feudalism is a relationship between a lord and his vassals to provide service and resources for each other. The feudal system emerge as dominant political and social system in medieval Europe, because it provided the vassals with security by their lords. In one instance, The fiscal burdens of feudalism took any form deemed suitable by the lords: payments in cash, in kind, in labor services, or in military services (Goldsmith). After the Vikings raided many homes and cities, many people didn t have much money to protect themselves. To ensure protection, they find lords who are able to protect them. In return, the vassals do military service, pay taxes, and do labor for their lords. However, while the lower class are working hard to benefit the king, they don t gain anything from the king or their lords. For example, if the king needed knights to ...

But, if the king s vassals doesn t have enough knights, the king s vassals asked their own vassals and it keeps on going until the lower class, or serfs, has to fight for the king. Another instance, Scarce money [...] and the constant threat of raids and warfare and lack of a strong central government forced the nobility to build strong defense networks around their strongholds and castles ( Vassal ). If the lordis not strong enough to protect them, then the vassals will go to find new lords that will have military power that will protect them. This is when loyalty to the lord and generosity comes into play. Also, chivalry is significant in the feudal society. If the king or the lord are not courageous, loyalty and generous, then it will become a problem. If the lord isn t generous to their vassals, then their vassals are not going to pay taxes, not going to defend borders or do military services. The king and lord has to be

When I was in the fourth grade I found many things to have changed about my surroundings, I currently lived in a place where, the people thought and acted differently. I know now reading about it and understanding more that some of those changes were for the good and some were not. Small town living has its advantages such as, very close friendships, close approximately to may things, and friendly people. Looking back, I also realized that there were a lot of disadvantages such as lack of transportation, affects of a poor education, no opportunities for growth, crime, no diversity, and low paying jobs and housing. Now that I am older, and aware of the affects of living in a small town, I can see how these many things affected my life and will continue affect it in the future. I grew up, the majority of my live, in a town in central Illinois, Kincaid, or better known as South Fork because of the co op with the schools around us in sports. This town is approximately 20 miles southeast of Springfield, and is only seven miles west from the nearest town, with many opportunities that my town did not offer (Citydata). With a total population of 1,495, including the town of Tovey about a mile away, as of July 1, 2015 Kincaid is ranked as number 587 of 1,367 as being a small town in Illinois (Kincaid, IL).

  • 39. Educational Philosophies Educational Philosophies Elizabeth Howell Liberty University What is the philosophy of education? It is a set of ideas and beliefs that guides teachers actions and provides a framework for thinking about educational issues. (Kauchak and Eggen, 197) Teachers use philosophy everyday in their classrooms. From the time the first student enters their room until the last student walks out, philosophy is affecting the way the teacher runs his/her classroom and how they interact with their students. There are four different types of educational philosophies: Perennialism, Essentialism, Progressivism, and Social reconstuctionism. There are also five classroom applications that help teachers decide which philosophies are used while they ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Lectures, questioning, practice and feedback are some of the teaching methods I would use in my classroom. These follow the Essentialism philosophy. I believe that consistence in a classroom is crucial but also you have to mix things up in order to keep the students attention and keep them interested in the curriculum. On the other hand, learning should not be all fun and games. Students will never take learning seriously if there is not seriousness implanted in their learning experience. It is my opinion classroom learning environments should be highly structured with strong focuses on academic work as well as essential knowledge and skills. As I stated before, a child should have just as much academic knowledge as they do knowledge of how the world works around them. This follows both Essentialism as well as Perennialism. Perennialism is an educational philosophy suggesting that nature is constant and that schools should teach classic knowledge. (Kauchak and Eggen, 201) Lastly, I feel that teachers should offer frequent objective and performance assessments and feedback to their students. Students should be periodically assessed on their work and given feedback and how they are doing. This is part of the essentialism philosophy. I believe that assessing students and giving them feedback helps the students as well as their parents know, without question, how the students in doing, what their level of

The topic was playwrights, and Daisy asked us our favourite playwright. They were all varied, from Sophocles, to Lorca or Sarah Kane. What I learned about Sophocles from the lecture was the amount of plays he wrote (around 120), and that only 7 remain complete: Electra, Oedipus Rex, Ajax, Antigone, Philoctetes, The women of Trachis and Oedipus at Colonus, that was very interesting unknown information that I received. In addition, another interesting fact that I learned was that Sophocles introduced the third actor and the concept of Skenographia (scenery painting). Another playwright mentioned was Tom Stoppard with plays like Arcadia or R and G are dead, crucial to make himself known. Federico Garcia Lorca was also mentioned, a Spanish playwright and poet that I already knew, but interesting to hear that other people from the seminar class share the love for him. Willy Russell with Blood Brothers, was another playwright named, it was the first time to hear it. In addition, it was the first time to hear about Arthur Miller, with plays like The Crucible, The Death of a Salesman or Tragic Hero. Samuel Becket was definitely a well known name, and we talked about how different is Waiting for Godot.

  • 41. The Chemical Structure Of Pregabalin Introduction Pregabalin, trade name Lyrica, approved for its anticonvulsant properties and to relieve pain in those who suffer from diabetic neuropathy. The chemical structure of pregabalin is structurally analogous to Оі aminobutyric acid (GABA), an inhibitory neurotransmitter found in the central nervous system and functions by binding to О±2Оґ voltage gated calcium ion channel in presynaptic, inhibiting the release of neurotransmitters, most notably GABA. By decreasing the amount of the inhibitory neurotransmitterGABA in synaptic terminals, epileptic seizures can be controlled and prevented.1 Each drug displays its own properties when introduced to the body and all traits must be evaluated to observe effectiveness and side effects that may occur. Pregabalin, although structurally and functionally similar to gabapentin (trade name Neurontin), has been shown to be more potent and exhibits linear kinetic properties, unlike gabapentin. Some factors that contribute to its success are that it has a bioavailability of 90%, 98% is excreted in urine unchanged, thus no or few side reactions occur, and it is able to pass through the blood brain barrier. Beneficial effects of taking pregabalin can be observed in as little as 2 days of administration, unlike most other central nervous system drugs, which typically take effect.1 Pregabalin is prescribed to treat conditions such as epilepsy and diabetic neuropathy. In addition, pregabalin has been approved for the treatment of
